	Hey, your legs crush.
	Yeah, all my legs crush.
	Don't worry about it.
	Everybody hurts.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's February 11th, 2010.
	Time for your Gibbon Nation Media Assassination, episode 173.
	This is No Agenda.
	Monitoring the earthquake machine activation and coming to you live from the 13th floor of the Marriott Hotel in downtown San Francisco, the Crackpot Command Center, Gipo Nation West, in California.
	Good morning, in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and I'm disconnecting the earthquake machine.
	I'm John C. DeBarack.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Oh, if only you had that technology.
	You know they had an earthquake in Chicago.
	Well, duh.
	Duh.
	Duh.
	Well, of course.
	Is that the testing ground?
	They're testing it?
	No, it's not a test.
	We call that a shot over the bow, John.
	You think just because Obama and his boys are from Chicago and they won't let relinquish their position as pushing the CIA around, that they're shaking it up a little bit over there?
	And that's it for the show.
	John has already done all my bits.
	We can now retire.
	Yeah, of course.
	Is that what you're suggesting?
	I am without a doubt suggesting this.
	There is...
	The seismologists cannot understand why there was an earthquake.
	They say it makes no sense.
	There's not even a fault line anywhere near where the epicenter was.
	Of course, this was like, hey, listen, you think you're going to say something nasty about us in Bloomberg?
	So there's this big report, this big article coming out in Bloomberg.
	And in it, Obama really slams the bankers and their bonuses.
	And of course, we know there's a war between Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.
	And you can only guess which side the CIA is on.
	Of course, they're on the side of Goldman Sachs.
	Because their funding runs parallel.
	So they get their money.
	Yeah, with the drugs from Afghanistan, etc.
	And, you know, so it's like, oh yeah?
	Oh yeah?
	You think you're going to say something nasty about our bonuses?
	Here, here, watch this.
	Here, here, here, here.
	And so they shake up...
	Is that the sound of an earthquake?
	No, I don't have any earthquake jingles.
	So they fire up the earthquake machine.
	They just give a little ruffle over there in Chicago.
	Boom!
	The title of the article changes to Obama doesn't mind too much about the bonuses.
	They just change the title of the article.
	Is that right?
	Yes.
	It's in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
	By the way, those show notes are fantastic.
	Well, thank you.
	We're getting a lot of notes from students.
	They give us a $5 a month donation.
	They say, I'm just a student.
	I can just afford this.
	But those show notes are fantastic.
	I use them in my papers.
	I use them for the debates in class and things like that.
	Yeah, if you want to actually get thrown out of school, they're real handy.
	Yeah.
	By the way, I would recommend to any students, we do have younger listeners.
	Well, of course, anyone's younger than I am.
	I thought I'd beat you to it.
	These are great show notes.
	There's a lot of good material there.
	So the headline, Obama begrudges quote about not begrudging bonuses.
	So this is from yesterday.
	Okay, wait, wait, wait.
	You have to document the fact that this quote, that this headline changed and this quote changed after the earthquake and not before.
	Yeah, it's exactly what happened.
	So, this is from yesterday.
	So, yesterday, yesterday, two days ago, Bloomberg News ran excerpts from a forthcoming Bloomberg Businessweek story under the headline, Obama doesn't begrudge bonuses for blank fine and diamond.
	But that's what it came out as.
	Because the White House complained, if you actually read the quote in the article, I, like most American people, don't begrudge people's success or wealth.
	That's part of the free market system.
	I do think that the compensation packages that we've seen over the last decade at least have not matched up always to performance.
	I think that shareholders oftentimes have not had any significant say in the pay structures for CEOs.
	So that's definitely a slam.
	And the shareholders own the company.
	Yep.
	And so that's a major slam towards the bankers, because of course all these bonuses came out.
	So they hit the button, they roll the ground out there in Chicago.
	What was that sound again?
	That's exactly what it sounds like, by the way.
	Not bad.
	So they roll the ground, and they're like, oh crap.
	Oh, let's say, just see, he doesn't begrudge the bankers.
	That'll sound good.
	So the article doesn't really change.
	There's a lot.
	I've got other news.
	There's a lot of news, AP news stories that are retracted, you know, because people are basically debunking them.
	You know, AP has got to be state-controlled one way or the other, Ministry of Truth.
	But before we digress, John, why don't we talk about the executive producer for episode 173 of No Agenda?
	Yes, we have one executive producer, and he is...
	I have to do this.
	We're doing a special promotion that's separate from the show, and so unfortunately the spreadsheet mixes everything together, so I've got like a mess on my hands.
	So what else is new?
	I need help.
	I need a secretary.
	A hot one.
	Well, duh.
	Gary Lader.
	Gary Lader?
	Gary Lader.
	L-A-D-E-R. $444.
	A lucky four.
	And he is in...
	It's not Ladder?
	It's Lader, not Ladder?
	L-A-D-E-R. Oh, D-E-R. I thought you said double D. Gary Lader.
	Okay.
	Gary Lader, who is in...
	Hold on.
	In Richmond, Virginia.
	Oh, okay.
	Which is a beautiful place, by the way.
	And I have, by the way, Gary, I have a hoodie, and Adam will attest to this, with the Richmond Spiders, University of Richmond hoodie.
	Yeah, when I was rummaging through your closet, I saw it.
	I can confirm it.
	It's one of the great 1AA football teams in the country.
	Anyway, 444, and he says, NoGen is now underwritten, making a joke, a meta joke, by matdepot.com, Matt Depot.
	Wait a minute, let me write.
	M-A-T what?
	D-E-P-O-T. D-E-P-O-T.com.
	What is that?
	I don't know.
	You haven't looked at it?
	I just noticed this thing now.
	I just noticed a note.
	Well, it's kind of important if the guy wants to promote something.
	Yeah, it could be like, it could be bad.
	It could be really, really bad.
	Anyway, Gary Lader from Virginia.
	Virginia, you said?
	Yeah, Richmond, Virginia.
	Richmond, Virginia.
	Not just Virginia.
	No, you are now officially the executive producer and the only producer, which means that's kind of like a super status.
	If the credit roll goes by, you say, wow, that was the only guy.
	Well, he did put up enough to make up for it.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	You are the executive producer of No Agenda, Episode 173.
	Put it on your resume.
	It will get you jobs.
	It's guaranteed.
	We've seen it happen many, many times.
	And it also looks cool and you might be able to pick up some chicks.
	And just remember, you now can also hold our motto.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order.
	Order.
	Shut up.
	And by the way, that motto is very appropriate because madeapot.com, which is also a part of the totalmaw.com martial arts supply company, Oh, nice!
	So if we're ever in Richmond, Virginia, we have protection, guaranteed.
	Hold on a second, I may have the wrong URL. Oh crap, no.
	Please, please don't tell me that.
	That's a good one though.
	It's a different URL? It's a whole different site?
	No, let me see what we got here.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, this is actually better.
	Okay, what is it?
	That's mattdepot.com.
	M-A-T-T? No, M-A-T. Matt.
	Like Matt.
	Like floor mats.
	I need one for my kitchen.
	He does all these crazy entrance mats, exit mats, floor mats, anti-fatide mats.
	Oh, okay.
	So you could have an in-the-morning welcome mat.
	I could have a...
	We could.
	An in-the-morning welcome mat.
	I was thinking of an anti-fatigue mat.
	This is stuff you find in restaurants and stuff.
	So that's a good business to be in.
	So Matt's Depot.
	Duh.
	I just got up.
	Okay.
	Nice.
	So I'm in the...
	Matt Depot.
	I'm on the 13th floor of the Marriott Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
	There's no such thing as the 13th floor in the United States.
	Shut up.
	Shut up.
	You know, that's really ridiculous, because 13 is actually a holy number.
	It's actually a very lucky number.
	Was this like something that decided long, long ago?
	It's like, we don't want anyone to know the power of 13, so let's just say it's unlucky.
	I think, well, that means when you're on the 14th floor, you're on the lucky 13th.
	I would like somebody, I don't know where this unlucky 13 traces to.
	I'll tell you this.
	I'll tell you something real.
	Like, if you're playing craps, you know, the dice game, you throw 13, that's bad luck.
	Right.
	But in general...
	Everybody out there will get that but you.
	Well, I don't play craps.
	Obviously.
	Is 13 good if you play craps?
	Were you messing with me?
	Never mind.
	I really don't understand.
	I don't play craps.
	I don't go to casinos.
	I like my Hercuse and Blow in my hotel room.
	I'm just saying.
	You can get the letters on that one.
	We play spin the bottle.
	Well, that's a better game.
	No, but seriously, in Mystic Numbers...
	Power comes from 1, 3, 20, 13, 20.
	These are all really powerful numbers.
	And somewhere along the line, it was like, oh, this is bad luck.
	And the fact that they don't have a 13th floor in hotel rooms in America is kind of weird.
	Well, what's also weird is that in China, 8 is the big lucky number.
	Well, 8 is also a very powerful number.
	In fact, it's a known fact.
	Facts, John.
	You know, as in...
	Science!
	If you're feeling kind of down and depressed, if you draw eights on a piece of paper continuously, you'll actually feel more peaceful.
	I'm doing it now!
	You're skating figure eights as we speak.
	So, alright, a couple things we've got to take care of.
	I mean, this getting old news, we at least should review it for the purposes, since we did discuss it beforehand.
	And I'm talking about the Super Bowl in particular.
	Oh, okay.
	And the fact that all the fuss made by the left-wing media, oh, Tom Hartman, oh, Democracy Now!, oh, everybody in between, about how horribly propagandistic the Tim Tebow commercial is going to be.
	And so you're watching the Super Bowl, and there's Tim Tebow commercial, which is sponsored by some right-to-life church ministry.
	Wasn't it planned parenthood?
	Wasn't that the whole thing?
	Planned Parenthood were the people that were dead set against it.
	They wanted free time to rebuke.
	Oh, that's right.
	This horrible commercial.
	It seemed like a 20 second commercial too, which I thought was weird, but maybe it was longer.
	No, I think it was a 30.
	I'm pretty sure.
	Whatever the case was, it has Tim Tebow's mom coming on.
	I'm Tim Tebow's mom or so.
	She said, I'm so-and-so, so-and-so.
	And then Tebow comes out of the blue and knocks her on her ass.
	Yeah, which was funny.
	It was kind of funny.
	And by the way, I heard a whole bunch of people going, oh, it was violence against women.
	It was a horrible ad.
	It promotes violence against women.
	And I will say that many commercials in this year's Super Bowl involved hitting other people.
	Did you notice that?
	There's a lot of commercials I thought were...
	I thought the most disgusting set of commercials was from Doritos.
	Yeah!
	There was like, you know, bopping people on the head.
	He was killed.
	He was intimidated by a small black man.
	There was a...
	The first one, I can't remember, but it was the worst one.
	It was an S&M commercial where a dog had strapped a bark collar around a guy.
	Yeah, he's zapping him.
	It was like very violent.
	All of it was violent.
	Yeah, it was totally violent.
	I don't get why Doritos feels the need to be that way.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, I'm going to say the best commercial, in my opinion, I didn't write about this or anything, but I didn't notice.
	I didn't really follow much after the game was over.
	But what I thought was the Bud Light commercial where there was a house made out of Bud Light cans that still had Bud Light in them.
	Yeah, that was okay.
	I just thought it was very funny.
	In general, it was like, eh, whatever.
	I don't think any of the commercials are great.
	I kind of like the Green Police.
	That was humorous.
	Volkswagen.
	I thought that was kind of funny.
	That was an Audi commercial, by the way.
	Was it Audi?
	I thought it was Volkswagen.
	Well, it was the same company.
	It got a lot of, you know, what kind of fascists are running Audi that...
	No, it was humorous.
	What I liked about it is if you're a greenie, you would go like, oh, good, this is the future.
	We can look forward to it.
	And if you're like us and, you know, a little bit more...
	Normal.
	Then you're like, it's funny.
	You know, it's just funny.
	I thought it was absolutely funny because, yeah, that's how I envisioned the Green Police.
	I envisioned them riding around little electric golf carts trying to take away my styrofoam cup.
	That's awesome.
	I liked it.
	I thought that was very cute.
	No, but in general.
	Well, let's get back to the point.
	The point was, so Tebow comes out, and the two of them stand up, and she dusts off, and she says, they say hello, essentially.
	How you doing?
	And Tim Tebow seems like a nice enough guy, and that was about the end of it.
	And then they have just a website or a phone number.
	I think it was a website for the group.
	And that was the end of it.
	So everybody got all worked up about how controversial this was going to be, and it's an advocacy ad.
	Again, of course, nobody saw the ad, but they didn't mind spouting off about it with all kinds of bigoted comments.
	And I thought that the entire left-wing media should be ashamed of themselves for the reaction to this thing.
	So I was watching CNBC.
	I think this was the—maybe this was Friday— When was it?
	No, it was probably before the game.
	And of course, there's no markets are open on Sunday, so they're doing all kinds of kooky stuff.
	And this must have been taped a couple days before.
	So they have a picture of Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
	And they're showing it in like, maybe it's some press conference or something.
	They're showing it to the Colts players.
	Right?
	And they're saying, do you know who this man is?
	Listen to this.
	Who is this man?
	I want to say Ben Bernanke.
	Who is this guy?
	He looks like a crook.
	He looks like a crook.
	Why?
	He just got that look about him, man.
	Like, he just out to take everything you own.
	That's Daniel Muir.
	He's like, he looked like a crook.
	He looks like a crook while he just got that look about him.
	Well, that guy nailed it.
	Listen to it again.
	It's so funny.
	Listen to it.
	Hold on.
	Play, stupid YouTube.
	Oh, man, I loved it.
	Here.
	He looked like a crook.
	Thank you.
	Who is this guy?
	He looks like a crook.
	He looks like a crook.
	Why?
	He just got that look about him, man.
	Like, he's just out to take everything you own.
	He's just out to take anything you own!
	So how many of the players recognized him?
	I only got these two.
	I love it, though.
	He looks like a crook, man.
	He just got that look about him.
	He'd take anything you own.
	Hell yeah!
	Perfect!
	I love it.
	So what else we got?
	Oh, dude, I've got so much stuff.
	I've got so much.
	I mean, where do you want to start?
	I mean, I'd love to start over in Gitmo Nation East in Europe.
	You know what they call the countries who are now severely in debt and are screwing up the Euro?
	They call them the Pigs?
	Yeah, the Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain.
	And Italy.
	That's two I's in pairs.
	Maybe the Italy is for, is that for Italy?
	Yeah, Italy and Ireland are too big.
	So they call them the pigs.
	What Italy did, I mean, people were bitching about this when it first happened and it finally caught up to them.
	When they pegged, you know, the lira used to be able to go to Italy and you'd take five bucks and you'd get ten million lira and live it up.
	And as soon as they pegged, they lived it up.
	They mispegged the lira to the euro, so it became, how did Italy become so expensive?
	And over time, you know, people finally stopped going there, and I think they lost a lot of money on the deal.
	They put themselves in a hole.
	Well, of course, what's actually happening is that all these countries are severely in debt, and so that affects the euro overall.
	And when I say debt, it's like, we're looking at 12 to, conservatively speaking, 12 to 20% of GDP. Is that it?
	I don't know.
	It's supposed to be like three.
	That's what they all agreed upon when they set the union up.
	They said, let's make it 3%.
	Wait until we get to 115.
	Yeah, well, we're close.
	We're at like 97.
	I think 80-something.
	No, I think it's a little higher than that.
	But anyway...
	97.
	But anyway, go on.
	I have actual data in the show notes that says 97, okay?
	You know, they keep raising that level.
	They just raised it again.
	We need to spend more.
	Oh, let's just raise the level.
	Yeah, we need to borrow more, yeah.
	Well, hey, you know, we're not starving to death.
	Not yet.
	So now, of course, the question is, what's going to happen?
	Because there's only two ways to go.
	One is, well, actually three ways to go.
	One is the European Union jumps in and bails them out, and Germany's already saying, which is German for pigs.
	And, of course, they can raise taxes, which is, they're too late with that, because now everyone in these countries has moved their money out.
	Everyone's got some doughs, like, whoo!
	That's the way they did that.
	Let's move that out.
	And, of course, the third option is to take money from the IMF, which is, of course, from the, that's basically the richest people in the world.
	They've got their own little bank there, and they've got the World Bank, and You know, so essentially, you go into more debt, and then, you know, they'll default on that, and then the bankers will take all your shit, you know, like the Colts player just said.
	They'll take everything you own.
	Yeah, that's the idea.
	Now, what's interesting is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer...
	Alistair Darling, so he's like the CFO of Gitmo Nation East UK, he says, ah, you know, it's not going to be a problem for us.
	And of course it hit me, well, duh, it's so smart of these Brits.
	You know, they knew this was happening.
	They knew it was going to be a complete takedown.
	They wanted to bring down every single country in Europe.
	So they said, you know what, we're not going to participate in that Euro thing.
	So they can just keep printing their own money.
	They've got their own deal.
	They don't have to be affected by it.
	They can run their own show.
	Which is probably really smart from their perspective.
	Sounds smart to me.
	But anyway, this is exactly what happened in, if you have not read the book, we've discussed it many times in this program, Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
	A great book.
	This is exactly how they did it in Africa.
	Many countries around the world.
	South America, we used to specialize in that.
	They go in, you need the money, they pay off the leaders to take these huge loans, and of course these loans can only be used to buy crap from America.
	And then when they default, it's like, oh, did you read the fine print?
	Yes, we now own everything.
	We come to take away all you own.
	And that's what's going to happen.
	Yeah.
	So what's wrong with that?
	Well, what would be wrong is I was reading, you know, I read Market Watch, which of course you write for Market Watch.
	So I have to say most people who write for Market Watch, I hold in high regard.
	And Paul B. Farrell writes for Market Watch.
	Are you familiar with him?
	I don't, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So he says, opening of his MarketWatch article, Wake up, investors!
	Are you prepared for the economic anarchy coming after the global debt time bomb explodes?
	Are you thinking outside the box?
	Investing differently?
	Act now!
	Tomorrow will be too late!
	And he, of course, is recommending investing in gold and weapons.
	Not necessarily in that order.
	No.
	No.
	It's really great.
	So you can only be a part of one of two economic classes in America's 300 million citizen population.
	You can be your average Joe and Jane American, which means you're one of 299 million people.
	Your income average is $50,000.
	Essentially, you're going to be on food stamps.
	Or you're one of the happy conspiracy insiders, and you're doing $600,000 to $10 million a year, and you're going to be just fine.
	So it sounds like most of us will get screwed.
	I was reading the President's economic report.
	I haven't read through the whole thing yet.
	It came out yesterday.
	And in it, he actually writes of the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
	I mean, he actually names it that.
	And of course, we're headed for the dreaded double dip.
	We're screwed.
	2013, I think you're pretty much dead on, John, with your prediction.
	I think that's when it all comes flying apart.
	There's nothing we can do about it.
	2013, we're screwed.
	That doesn't mean things can't go well for a while.
	Oh yeah, no, it's going to be great for a little while.
	Australia, though, is also in deep, deep kimchi.
	Which is Swahili for crap.
	And that's why all the central bankers met down there in Australia.
	They're like, alright, what are we going to do?
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's time to just pull the trigger and blow that shit up.
	Well, I don't know.
	You seem very calm about all this.
	You don't seem to care.
	No, because, well, there's a reason for that, because I'm a cyclicist.
	I don't know what the right word is, but anyway.
	Just like Lance Armstrong, essentially.
	It's a cyclist.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Maybe it's the same word, cyclist.
	Whatever the case is, I don't think there's anything much you can do about it.
	I think that you can try to toy with the problem and see if you can make it.
	You know, I hate to bring this up because I think it bores a lot of people.
	But if you follow the cycle, there should have been a market crash in 1849 followed by a massive depression.
	And there actually wasn't until 1857.
	It was actually put off.
	And in 1857, we had a lot of economists and historians believe it was our first true depression collapse, which is in 1857.
	And there's a lot of books written about it.
	I don't think you bore anyone with that.
	I think people enjoy very much hearing about history that they can't get anywhere else.
	Isn't that kind of what the show is about?
	Kind of.
	But it's, you know, it's kind of old news, to say the least.
	So anyway, in 1849, I was always baffled by that.
	And I think a lot of people follow the economic 80 and 40-year cycles.
	You know, they try to come up with other cycles.
	They say, well, this cycle doesn't work.
	And then they have a couple of major examples.
	In 1849, there's nothing happened.
	And then I realized that at the time, that with the discovery of gold and silver all over the place, it pumped something like $3 trillion in that year.
	In that old money into the economy, which propped everything up until 1857, which could easily happen with us just printing more money because gold doesn't have any intrinsic value, especially when they flooded the market with it, which is equivalent of something like $30 trillion or $40 trillion of today's dollars, 15 to 40, depending on how you do the calculation.
	And which was enough to keep, well, we're not going to have a depression with all this free money flying around, and all this free money was flying around, which is why, by the way, I'm not too worked up about the fact that we're printing money.
	Anyway, but when you look at the analysis of the 1857 crash, you see, what caused it?
	And people have all these different reasons, and one of the reasons which kept cropping up was that it was too much money.
	It was essentially all this gold flowing into the market.
	It was like the printing presses being turned on.
	It was the exact same equivalent.
	But it managed to stave off the disaster until 1857.
	So I think that would be great.
	That's what it always does.
	Quantitative easing, whether it's gold or paper or whatever, or twigs, as long as there's more of it coming into the market, of course it'll...
	It'll stave something off, but eventually it comes.
	I mean, that's just the way it goes.
	The cycle is the cycle.
	So the best case scenario is that we just flood the market with cheap money and hopefully don't go into hyperinflation, which we have not done with a zero interest rate.
	So that's been working actually very well, even though people moan about it.
	And the best case scenario is that we can push off the disaster away from 2013 into 2017, which would be the equivalent of 1857 in the olden days.
	And then we'd have this unbelievable collapse.
	But the 1857 phenomenon, I think it only lasted three years of abject misery.
	Well, I'm going to say that it will probably not happen in 2013.
	If you're calling 2017, I'll have to go with that.
	I think that's a pretty safe bet.
	Well, I'm calling it, but if, say, something weird happens, like Obama gets booted out, which is a possibility in 2012, and some bonehead comes in, a Republican.
	By the way, this would ruin the Republican Party forever.
	And then all of a sudden says, oh, we can't keep printing this money.
	This is not right.
	Let's go back to the gold standard and do something crazy.
	And the next thing you know, the collapse happens the next year.
	The Republican gets blamed like Herbert Hoover.
	And then the Democrats just waltz.
	They got it made for the next forever.
	It's kind of important that that not happen.
	Well, it's going to be very interesting.
	Just saying, oh, well, you know, we're going to take back Congress.
	I don't think they're going to take back Congress.
	And they're going to do this and they're going to do that.
	But I think they're setting themselves up for a worse situation.
	Well, no, but first of all, we know it's one party.
	There's no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
	The bankers run them both.
	I mean, so we know that.
	And I think that, you know, and by the way, I think we have to take our props right now.
	The...
	The tea party has, of course, been hijacked.
	It's been hijacked by the people who are running Sarah Palin.
	And by the way, did we call it or not?
	All I could see everywhere, even that dickhead Gibbs, all they were doing was harping on Sarah Palin's crib notes on her hand.
	That's all they did.
	Did you see Gibbs?
	Oh, yeah.
	Let me just see if I can find the...
	Yeah, Gibbs had a butter...
	Here it is.
	I've got the audio here.
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, it was unbelievable.
	But even the reporters are going like, oh, dude, no, you didn't.
	Oh, tell me you didn't go there.
	Here it is.
	This is Robert Gibbs at one of his famous press conferences speaking on behalf of the president of the United States.
	As you saw during the presidential campaign, the entire...
	I wrote a few things down.
	And he makes this condescending...
	I wrote...
	It's a little slew for some reason.
	I wrote eggs, milk, and bread.
	You're so funny, Robert.
	You're hilarious.
	Bread, just so I can make pancakes for Ethan if it slows.
	Then I wrote down hope and change.
	Ah!
	I hate that guy!
	He's such a dick!
	He's a dick!
	A douchebag!
	And he thinks he's funny.
	And he's so not.
	And he makes that face that just makes you want to hit him in the mouth.
	Yeah.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	He's such a dick.
	I don't care who he's talking for.
	He's just a dick.
	He's one of those guys in school who had a big keychain.
	You know those kids?
	Yeah, it could be.
	So anyway, so even Ron Paul came out now.
	And of course, we said this.
	We said, this is wrong.
	John, you called it weeks ahead of time.
	You said, uh-oh, it looks like they're pushing Sarah Palin into the Tea Party movement, which was started by Ron Paul.
	So here's this from Raw Story.
	In the face of several electoral challenges from Tea Party-connected candidates, Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul cautioned in a recent interview that neocon influence is infiltrating the movement he is often credited for creating.
	Yeah, but he's not even credited for it anymore.
	And he actually said this on Rachel Maddow's show.
	Ta-da!
	Yeah.
	That's funny.
	So it's gotten so bad because Ron Paul knows that Fox is behind this.
	And of course he knows the game.
	He knows that Fox is also run by the Democrats.
	But he has to get his message out because no one on Fox wants that message out.
	But the only way he can do it is by self-humiliating himself by going on the Rachel Maddow show.
	How crazy.
	And I don't know if she did a...
	Wrong.
	Wrong.
	You're wrong.
	So she's like, wow, man.
	So do not follow what is happening there.
	God, it's...
	You know, it's so funny because we saw this happen in the Netherlands...
	And this was with Pim Fortin, who was often called the Le Pen of Holland, incorrectly I might add.
	Oh, that guy, the right winger.
	He was a right winger, but he was a very intelligent, beautiful man.
	I knew him personally.
	They portrayed him over here as a dangerous Hitler.
	Well, he was not a Hitler.
	And first of all, he was like gayer than gay can be.
	He was a sweet man.
	He wouldn't hurt a fly.
	And openly so.
	But all he said was, he said, you know, this multicultural stuff, it ain't gonna work.
	He said, you know, we've got to stop this Islamification of Holland.
	And his party was set to win by an unprecedented landslide.
	And then two weeks before the election, he literally got two to the head.
	In fact, he got like five to the head.
	And outside a radio studio where friends of mine actually just interviewed him.
	And that was a hit, by the way, because there were multiple cartridges and they got some whacked out guy who said he was an animal activist.
	And that, oh, I hate to, you know, he's just a crazy animal activist.
	And so they offed the guy because they were like, oh shit, this can't happen.
	We can't have him, someone's going to take over.
	And they killed him.
	They literally killed him.
	So, you know, it's like, you know that it's much more friendly to just hijack the Tea Party instead of killing people.
	And it's much smarter for them.
	Because, you know, people will follow Sarah Palin.
	Yeah, yeah.
	She's likable.
	And by the way, I think C-SPAN is also becoming unreliable.
	With the things they show and don't show.
	There's a lot of things they don't show.
	What is good is you have to go to cspan.org and it's a beta right now, but they have the video library and actually that's where they have everything.
	Most of the stuff they don't show you have to go find there, but what's cool about it is you can search the entire transcript and Which is from the closed captions.
	Yeah, it's from the closed captions.
	You can search by person, by transcript, by session.
	But it's a lot of work.
	It's a lot of work.
	Hence our demand for donations or requests or begging is what it is, let's face it.
	We're a little early.
	Do you want to do that now?
	No, no, no.
	I just thought I'd throw in an extra one there.
	So I have a couple clips talking about C-SPAN. I just want to talk about a couple of memes that are starting to crop up that are bothering me.
	One of them, by the way, was in the, which I think is going to be quite funny, it's going to be a very humorous meme that was started by a Super Bowl ad done by Google.
	Go ahead, talk about the Google ad.
	I want to say something about that in a minute as well.
	Google did an ad, the first ad they've ever done, and I think they finally got sick of seeing these Bing ads, and they're probably defensive thinking that Microsoft's going to do an ad on the Super Bowl.
	I don't believe they did.
	I watched the game, and I watched all the ads, and I did not see a Microsoft ad unless I was in the bathroom or something.
	It would make sense.
	No, I don't think there was one.
	No.
	No.
	So they did an ad, and it was a no voice ad, and it was just showing a Google search box, and then somebody was searching for, like, you know, how to get a date, and then what do you do, where to get flowers, and it was like a story that they'd actually told in 30 seconds or so of clicking on different things, and then apparently finding a church to get married in Paris.
	And it was actually kind of sweet.
	And it was interesting.
	It was actually compelling to watch.
	So now we're starting to see people doing these videos in the same state.
	Can I just say one thing about the Google ad before you move on?
	Yeah.
	I was appalled.
	By the story they told, I thought, you know, obviously it was a cute, cute way to do it.
	Because it was, you know, fall in love.
	But then, like, you had to fall in love with some French chick.
	And instead of being realistic, like, you know, how do I remove facial hair?
	No, and, you know, why didn't they just do a hot California chick?
	Why did it have to be a French chick?
	I didn't like it.
	I wouldn't mind this commentary.
	I mean, I would normally object to this commentary, this kind of jingoistic commentary from you.
	But the fact of the matter is I'm looking over, since we're doing a separate campaign for donations, and I've noticed a couple of interesting things.
	Nobody from France.
	Nobody from France listens to the show.
	And you know where else is another place you don't listen to the show?
	India.
	We've had one person in a whole couple years we've been doing this that has ever given us money.
	One person gave us, I think it was a five, I don't know what this is, a subscription or something.
	But one.
	France, you know, zero.
	The point is, is that, go ahead and insult the French.
	I thought the thing was very well done, but the meme is that now people are copying it, so it's kind of like that Hitler movie where people put cheap with the subtitles over it.
	So they're doing, you know, like, you know, somebody's looking for guns, and then they're looking at how to do a hitman.
	Well, and I love that, but I just will say, Google, 100% evil.
	They've acquired all these companies that were funded by QTEL, which is the CIA's venture capital arm, including Keyhole, which, of course, is Google Earth.
	They've now got a partnership with the NSA, which nobody is questioning.
	No one is up in arms about the spooks being in at Google.
	And we already know Sergey and Bryn have said, yeah, we're going to get out.
	We're going to sell our shares.
	Well, of course, because they can't agree with what's happening.
	It's all Eric Schmidt and it's the CIA, NSA.
	They are in there.
	They are looking up your skirt.
	And Google Chrome, by the way, evil.
	Google Chrome is evil.
	The Nexus One is evil.
	It's always been assumed...
	Well, there goes our sponsorship from Google.
	Hell yeah!
	So, it's always been assumed, by the way, in some corners of Silicon Valley, that both Oracle and Sun Microsystems had heavy connections to the CIA because they'd use their servers and database to do what they have to do.
	I was on the most advanced frigate the Dutch Marines invited me on.
	And it's the one on top, it has what they call the goal catcher, which is this amazing rocket array that, you know, within like a third of a second, they can focus on something 600 miles away and then shoot off and blow it out of the sky a minute later.
	I mean, unbelievable.
	And I was in the command center because, you know, it was like an open day for friends and family.
	And I'm down there, I'm like, yeah, this is all Solaris.
	It's all, you know, and I was like, open up terminals and running...
	You know, just running X windows, open up the X clock, and what is it, Tetris, and all this stuff, which comes, it's all Sun.
	It's all Sun Microsystems stuff.
	That's all they run over there.
	So yeah, of course, it's all military.
	And Eric Schmidt was the chief scientist for Sun Microsystems during those years.
	Yeah, so, bada bing.
	So I'm sure he has connections.
	And so now the NSA is looking at everything you do when you go online.
	But they're doing it for your own good.
	Yeah, it's to stop child pornography, John.
	I know.
	They're doing important work.
	And terrorism.
	Yes, from China.
	I'm sorry.
	I should take back all of my evil speak about Google because they're doing it for our good.
	I feel safe now.
	I think I'm going to go over there next so we can get a free lunch.
	So...
	Where was I? Oh, yes.
	So meanwhile, you were talking about something or other that led me to whatever I just said.
	So I got this clip, C-SPAN. I had an event which was called, find my notes, it was called the Future of American Culture.
	And they had, and I'm talking about memes, by the way, so I just did the Google one, and now I'm going to talk about the other one.
	The Future of American Culture.
	I want you to play two clips.
	One, I think there's one that's called Mud Hut or something like that, just kind of introductory clip.
	I don't have that.
	I don't have Mud Hut.
	I have USA as Woman?
	No, that's the second clip I want you to play.
	Kit Bond Bitching?
	No.
	Well, then I'm...
	There's only two clips.
	Oh, Volga German sod huts.
	Got it.
	Yes, there you go.
	Play it now?
	Yeah.
	My immigrant grandparents of beloved memory on my mother's side of the family came here as children.
	Impoverished Germans from Russia, so-called Volga Germans...
	They did stoop labor in the sugar beet fields of northern Colorado, living at first in sod huts, finding themselves covered with layers of dirt as they awakened every morning.
	What, they didn't wash?
	What's up with that?
	They were in a mud hut made from sod.
	Where, in America?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Yeah, but that's the way they live in Colorado.
	Come on, have you ever been there?
	It's beautiful in Colorado.
	Well, they live in mud.
	Apparently, they live in mud.
	Okay, so anyway, so there's this event at Regent University, and it has a big picture of Reagan.
	There's all these people there, and they're all very serious about this and that.
	I don't know how many people realize that Regent University is Pat Robertson's personal university.
	He's the chancellor, and it's got an endowment of $186 million, according to Wikipedia.
	You know, it's supposed to be a Christian right-wing to just create leaders kind of And inject them into the system.
	And this woman was, I got her name, Jean Bethke Elstain or something like that.
	She's an ethics professor at the University of Chicago.
	And so, but I'm listening to her.
	I'm thinking maybe I can get something out of this listening to these speeches.
	And I'm getting bored stiff, especially by her.
	But I did pick up something that I thought was kind of interesting.
	If you play the USA as a Woman clip, I want to discuss this for a second.
	How quickly, this is America after all, how quickly things went from that economic hardship and daily relentless toil to grandchildren and great-grandchildren now being doctors, lawyers, teachers,
	civic benefactors of all kinds, most importantly mothers and fathers as were their grandparents and great-grandparents before them, Deeding a legacy of decency, hard work, love of family, love of country.
	Now how could I possibly condemn a country that made all this possible for me and for so many others?
	The element of loathing and resentment and so much contemporary criticism coming from people who are living lives America made possible, I'm thinking here of the professoriate especially, is simply beyond me.
	So, I will remain a connected critic, a critical patriot, one who understands what an astonishing proposition America is, and how she must never be an object of idolatry, but neither should she be an object of scorn.
	Huh.
	What the hell's that all about?
	She needs to be bitch slapped.
	Why is America a she all of a sudden?
	And this is that, by the way, a speech being given at this Regent University, which I thought was interesting.
	Nobody called her on it.
	It's like, I mean, for one thing, the United States of America is a country.
	It doesn't have a gender, male or female.
	It's not the fatherland.
	Maybe she's trying to, you know, say it's, you know, it's like to me it's not even, you know, the homeland is a questionable usage, as we talked about last week, because it assumes we're an empire.
	And, but it's not a she.
	I mean, there's Mother Russia, the last she that I know of.
	It was always Mother Russia and the fatherland fighting with each other constantly, Germany and Russia.
	But is this a meme that's trying to sneak into the scheme of things that, you know, she's a great country?
	Well, let me...
	I always say it's a great country.
	It doesn't have a gender.
	It's an it.
	I will say this, that if you go back into theology and mysticism and mythology and spiritualism, the concept that actually women used to rule the world and men were pretty much there to be covered in dirt and fornicate...
	I think there is a very strong movement, and I think it's probably cyclical as well, that women are positioning themselves to become the leaders of the world again.
	So we were talking about the women ruling the world during the Roman Empire 2,000 years ago, or was it the women running the things during the Chinese era?
	All of that.
	I don't know about women.
	What women were in the Roman Empire?
	Well, how about Cleopatra?
	Okay.
	Well, then they had a woman, like Margaret Thatcher.
	They're part of the system.
	It's not a matriarchy.
	No, but if you read the literature, you will find that women pretty much ruled, and you see more and more of this.
	What literature?
	When was this?
	This is a feminist argument.
	I've heard it a million times.
	It has absolutely zero application to what we're doing today.
	It's some idealistic thing.
	This is like saying, you read the literature about how Africa was so far advanced.
	We're close to having space travel like 5,000 years ago.
	I think this is irrelevant nonsense.
	And the bringing of she into the picture is totally bogus.
	I'm not condemning it or approving it either way.
	I believe that this is where it's coming from.
	I feel this movement, and I feel that this is something that is happening.
	I talk to a lot of women, and I will tell you that I hear more often than not, and by the way, I'm all for it.
	Go for it.
	Women say, oh, if women were running the world, then there would be no war to be great.
	I hear this a lot.
	And I wouldn't mind them taking over.
	Is Shiva the goddess of war?
	A woman?
	No, she's the goddess of destruction, actually.
	Okay, whatever.
	And by the way, do you know that at the Large Hadron Collider, which they're firing up again, do you know that there is a statue of Shiva?
	I think you mentioned this once before.
	It's hilarious.
	It's unbelievable.
	An actual goddess of destruction above the entrance of the Large Hadron Collider.
	I want somebody to send us a photo of this.
	I think it's folklore.
	No.
	I'm pretty sure it's true.
	I'll take that at face value.
	Believe me.
	I'm so against that thing.
	Eight billion dollars worth of proton slamming crap underneath the ground, please.
	I can't get enough to no good.
	Yeah, maybe it's got something to do with your earthquake machine.
	Well, you know, of all the things I say, I get the least pushback on that.
	Which I find peculiar, by the way.
	I really do.
	People will say...
	Well, you know what you've done for a change, unlike all your other crackpot theories, is that, at least in this situation, you've documented numerous instances where there have been the edicts by the UN and elsewhere talking about the potential for having these things and how they have to be banned or whatever.
	Yeah, all the way back to 1977.
	It's like, hey, a part of the NATO, a part of the UN treaty.
	It's like, you know what?
	You're not allowed to mess with each other.
	Certainly not with those earthquake machines.
	I mean, that's pretty much a paraphrase of what they said.
	We know that everyone's got one.
	And, oh man, I could lead into so many stuff from here.
	But I think we should just...
	We only do the crazy stuff after we ask for donations.
	Right, right.
	I've got some...
	Well, let's do donations for a second.
	And...
	So there's a couple things I'd like to say off the bat.
	I got a recommendation from one of our producer's listeners and said, you know, maybe we need to build on the jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Let me just play that for you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Maybe we should build on that meme and talk about donations, donations, donations, and donations.
	Or, why don't we just take the magic number three?
	That's the magic number three.
	It's the magic number in the morning.
	So, yeah, we could do that.
	We could also, if we were going to ask for money, you know, I think a lot of people got their federal income tax checks.
	Oh, that's right.
	In America.
	Yeah, I guess it is around this time that you get your tax refund.
	A lot of checks have shown up.
	Hey.
	Well, if you're...
	And by the way, this is a very happy time for most people.
	And you get your check in the mail, and it's one of those green ones from the Treasury...
	And I think they clear within three weeks.
	And it would be rather nice if you thought of us, not only because you have a couple extra bucks in your pocket, but also because Sunday will be Valentine's Day and we want to feel loved.
	So, by the way, just as an aside, our friend Bytelodge just sent us a picture.
	Apparently at CERN, C-E-R-N, they have a statue of Shiva.
	Yeah, CERN is in Switzerland.
	They're signing a document in front of this thing.
	Yeah, the document is, hey, we're going to bring this shite down, boy.
	Anyway, back to the thing.
	Anyway, so people should think about giving us, well, I mean, it'd be nice if they give us a check, but I don't think that's a good percentage would be nice.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	I don't know if that helps us or not.
	We have President Clinton and Bush speaking on our behalf.
	Please just send us cash.
	So we got a bunch of $66.66 donations.
	Besides Gary Rader's executive producers, we have Jordan Wyatt from Australia, who gave us 50, Yousef Manzur Tamayo, $66.66.
	And he, uh...
	Which, by the way, is also a very spiritual and sacred number.
	Six.
	Six, six, six.
	Six, six, six.
	It's the mark of the beast.
	No, no.
	This is for the magical power of three.
	John, try to pronounce the Dutch tongue twister.
	Ready?
	Go ahead.
	De kat krap de kruelen van de troop.
	Say that again a little slower.
	D-E-K-A-T, two words.
	Crapt, K-R-A-P-T, which I would assume makes crapt.
	That's what I'm guessing.
	De Kruehle van de Trapp.
	What?
	De Kat Kruehle van...
	Crapt, with a B. De Kat Kruehle van de...
	What?
	Van de Trapp.
	Van de Trapp.
	Yeah, what's it mean?
	There you go.
	You know what?
	I think it's better you don't know.
	Okay, well, maybe the Dutch must be laughing!
	No, it's like she sells seashells by the seashore.
	It's a tongue twister.
	It's like the cat scratches something from the stairs.
	It doesn't work.
	Translation is not good.
	Anyway, he's in Amsterdam.
	Jordan's in New Zealand.
	And we have another guy who doesn't want me to pronounce his name.
	He wants you to pronounce it because he thinks I can't pronounce it.
	He's another Belgian guy.
	He lives in Brussels.
	He's Dutch.
	A lot of Dutch in Belgium.
	And his name is Chris Guylen.
	G-I-E-L-E-N. Guylen.
	Which has a funny little...
	I mean, there's another sexual reference in there.
	We don't laugh about names here on No Agenda.
	No, never.
	Then we got...
	I'm trying to do this on a spreadsheet.
	It's terrible.
	Kyle Miller.
	And Kyle is in...
	Oh, man.
	He's in Alberta.
	Another one of our Alberta buddies.
	We got a lot of guys in Alberta.
	Of course, they got all the money.
	Alberta could just pay for the whole show.
	Easily.
	Thomas Imbrex...
	And he's at OATR.BA. He gave us $55.55.
	Another Belgian guy.
	I wonder where I got so many Belgians today.
	Mike Kadic, Australia.
	And Mike, who gave us $50.
	And then we have another Australian, Matt Dunk.
	Another 66666 guy.
	That's interesting.
	Why do you think we all of a sudden got a lot of 66666 donations?
	I think it's because last week you had two 66666s in a row, and now everyone's thinking this is quite humorous.
	The guy, by the way, Chris Guyland, or whatever you pronounce it, his 6833 was 50 euros, in fact.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Yeah, and so that's what it is now.
	Jeez.
	And then Ryan Breedlove and Tegan Murray.
	And Ryan Breedlove, $66.66.
	And he donated on Sunday as well, did he not?
	Braidlove?
	Braidlove, yeah.
	Yeah, Braidlove.
	And Tegan Murray, $50.05.
	He's trying to find a summer job so he can give us more money or something.
	And it has been proven just from the karma factor that if you donate to no agenda, you have a high likelihood of all of a sudden getting hired.
	And we've seen this time and time again.
	And I would like to make another suggestion while we're on that topic.
	Let me see if I can find who suggested that.
	Someone said, why don't you open up a spot on noagendaforums.com, which, by the way, I encourage our listeners to go check in there.
	That's where the community kind of hangs out to post stuff about the show, to talk about certain topics.
	A lot of earthquake postings there, earthquake machine postings.
	If you're looking, maybe we can open up a job section and start our own little sub-economy of people who are looking for jobs.
	That wouldn't be a bad idea.
	I think it's a very good idea.
	And finally, the last guy is Lucas Siglar, who is in the Czech Republic, who gave us $70.
	Well, it's funny, because did we not receive $200 from China Niels?
	I thought that was for our other project.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, he...
	Interesting.
	Interesting.
	Well, let me plug him anyway, because he wishes us a very happy Chinese New Year, which, according to him, is on February 14th, Valentine's Day.
	Oh, that came in today.
	Oh, that came in today?
	Okay, good.
	Yeah, we don't do today.
	I mean, everything that comes in today goes to the Thursday show.
	Well, I'm on it now anyway.
	Do you mind if I just plug it?
	No, you might as well.
	We'll just get double plugs.
	Well, so he's in the chat room all the time, China Neils, and he wants us to plug 12vpn.com, 12vpn.com, which he says helps people in many censored countries get back online.
	I guess he's referring to China.
	Oh, it's a VPN. Yes, 12vpn.com.
	So if you're in China, we have a couple of listeners who are from China and you're having some issues getting around stuff.
	And then, while we're on it, another fun initiative.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Russia is the biggest problem we've got.
	Oh, really?
	Russia's bigger?
	We have a lot of Russian listeners.
	They can't get on to the donation sites, and they need something like this.
	Good.
	And I will also plug noagendastickers.com.
	Because if you can't donate, and let's face it, we've got a lot of people.
	I mean, it warms my heart, yet breaks it at the same time.
	We have people who see that we provide so much value.
	They are on unemployment.
	And they actually still choose to send us money.
	And by the way, jumping on the $5 a month subscription really helps us a lot.
	It's nice to get the bigger amounts like the $66.66.
	But we're trying to build up a base here.
	And sometime around 2016, just before the big one, then we'll be on par.
	Yeah.
	Then what happens?
	It's not like anybody pulls the plug on the $5 a month.
	PayPal goes out of business.
	Yeah, really.
	We've got to have some contingency for that.
	That's not funny.
	No, I know.
	Can you imagine what that would do to me?
	Oh my God, that would screw us.
	Totally.
	Oh, that would not be good.
	So, noagendastickers.com is where you can upload artwork for stickers.
	And please, if you have the means to create stickers, print them out, stick them everywhere.
	Noagendashow.com is the URL.
	I've also, as a part of our other project, which we'll be talking about in the near future, before the end of the month, I've set up a new website for noagendastream.com, so it looks a little more professional.
	We're really trying to do stuff.
	And part of the reason why I'm here on the 13th floor of the Marriott Hotel in downtown San Francisco is because I'm moving the Crackpot Command Center.
	I'm making the changes I promised I would make.
	I still have the aircraft up for sale.
	The market is not very good, so it looks like I'm going to have to lower the price to sell it.
	Because I'm committed.
	Last night I was hanging out with a couple of the Mac developers who were in town for Macworld.
	And every single one of them listens to No Agenda.
	Would love to hear Daily Source Code come back.
	I've committed to that as well.
	So I'm really doing my part, and I'm counting on the producers, which is what we call the listeners of this program, to be there for us and to stick it out with us, because we're deadly serious about this.
	John, we've made a pact, right?
	We've said that we're absolutely going balls to the wall for this show.
	I think it's more of a vow.
	Yeah, of poverty.
	It really is.
	And it's okay.
	It's okay.
	Right, and we do have a project we're working on, and all of the donors that we've had have gotten emails about this, and if you didn't get one and you donated anything, you probably didn't open it.
	And we have one follow-up letter coming here at the end of the month that the newer donors will also get a copy of in case they want to get involved with this.
	And this will all be...
	We'll discuss in more detail when we actually roll out, officially roll out the No Agenda stream.
	Right now it's still in beta.
	And then everyone will get their credits and we'll have a page up for all the initial producers of that stream project.
	I want to mention a couple of things at NoAgendaStickers.com.
	We might want to add a subcategory there because my son suggested, hey, you have a demo that might work.
	Bumper stickers.
	There's a generation of people that are into bumper stickers.
	So of course it's no agenda producers do it in the morning is the obvious bumper sticker.
	That would work.
	Yeah, I'm saying.
	But any bumper sticker.
	And I think, by the way, the NoagendaStickers.com guys will catalog all these stickers, and I think at some point we'll have to award one the best.
	The official sticker.
	In other words, this will be like a little competition just to see who can do the most compelling sticker.
	And by the way, another place to stick these things, even though we don't advise doing anything illegal, Don't stick it worse.
	Don't stick it worse against the law.
	But, you know, toll plazas are, I think, one of the great spots.
	But I've noticed that around the US Mevio offices, there's a lot of stickers on the places they put newspapers and newspaper articles.
	Oh, on the boxes outside.
	Yeah, the newspaper machines.
	They've got stickers all over those things, so I don't know.
	Maybe they're welcoming.
	I mean, crikey, John.
	If George Bush can have a billboard that says, Miss Me Yet, certainly we can get some stickers.
	Yeah, we can get some stickers and put them here and there.
	But we want that to continue as a...
	That's kind of a, I don't know, guerrilla marketing, we'll call it.
	And the bumper stickers are the...
	Because really, the best thing we can, you know, we know that it's really about 1.7% of the people who listen to the show actually donate.
	It's a very small percentage.
	Is that right by right?
	1.7%?
	Yeah, 1.7 to 2.
	It's decent, but it's a very small percentage.
	So if you have not donated and you're listening to this program, you're one of the 98% who enjoy the show without contributing.
	So the best thing we can do in that case is get more listeners.
	Yeah, if you can help us get listeners, that would be just as good because, you know, we figure we double our listeners, we double our income.
	And we can pay more bills and we can do more things.
	So that would be good.
	So stickers I think is one way of doing it.
	I also think it's just fun.
	All right, noagendashow.com or go to dvorak.org slash NA or channeldvorak.com slash NA or use that 12vpn.com if you're having trouble getting through to any of the sites because we are getting locked down.
	Curry.com is also getting denied access in many places.
	So I think noagendashow.com is still pretty clear.
	But still, to get to the donation page, you have to go to dvorak.org slash NA or channeldvorak.com slash NA. We really appreciate your help.
	We're really trying to do something good here.
	And we're working for it.
	And John needs a hot-looking secretary.
	I do.
	Yes.
	And now, back to real news.
	So this kind of caught my eye yesterday.
	Just in the real news category, MTV has dropped the music television moniker from its logo.
	Gee.
	Gee, guys.
	You're not kidding.
	Why don't they change it to RTV? Reality TV. Yeah, Reality TV. Do you know that the first...
	Arguably, they had the first reality show, which was The Real World.
	Do you know that that was 18 years ago when that thing first aired?
	18 years ago, can you believe it?
	Wow.
	Yeah, I know.
	From Gitmo Nation Lowlands...
	A lot of stuff going on over there, and the Dutch are feeling pretty suppressed, and rightly so.
	So they're now going to put warning labels on their bags of weed, saying that it's not good for you.
	So if you go into a coffee shop, those that are still left, because they're closing them all down, you'll have a warning label on your weed, which is obviously ludicrous.
	A little bit.
	Yeah.
	Well, unless it says warning, you may get a bit wacky.
	That's okay.
	And then there's this story that...
	Where did we get this from?
	NBC. A San Francisco man accused of forcing a flight to divert...
	Because he was high on medical marijuana.
	Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
	Why would it have to divert?
	Well, I'll tell you.
	Here's what happened.
	The guy went nuts.
	He was banging around, screaming in the back bathroom, opening all the compartments, had his pants down to the ground, was running around like crazy, and then the flight attendant happened to be a black belt, and she got him in a headlock, and the guy was struggling, and so they said, well, you know, we've got to land the plane, because, you know, the guy's out of control.
	Diverted to Pittsburgh.
	He there told the police he had taken a double dose of his medical marijuana.
	Eating two pot cookies before the flight.
	Now let me tell you, I may not be an expert on many things.
	I am, however, an expert on marijuana.
	Having smoked it from the early morn to late at night for 12 years straight.
	This is not typical pothead behavior.
	The guy would be sleeping like a baby.
	You'd be like...
	Or listen to the music intensely.
	If you're like, dude, I'm loving the flight.
	This is one of two things.
	Either it's complete bull crap.
	Planted.
	Planted bull crap story.
	Or they're lacing the medical marijuana with PCP or some other outrageous crap.
	Yeah, that could be too.
	But I think it's planted because here's what's going on.
	We know this is going on.
	They don't know what to do about it.
	They're having a ballot measure finally in the state of California.
	Which a lot of potheads have been wanting for the last 40 years.
	And they're bringing this thing for the public.
	And now they're going to start dropping...
	By the way, this is another prediction.
	Over the next six months or so, they're going to be dropping these bombs just as subtle propaganda points.
	So people say, oh, I don't know.
	It causes violence.
	Here's one.
	I'm going to predict this one.
	When this comes out, you're going to be stunned.
	Wait, they're going to say something that Mexicans are dangerous because of it?
	No, they have to be more subtle than that.
	This is going to be, and this is a wild prediction, they're going to do 60 Minutes or one of these shows is going to do a special on Jamaica and how the drug gangs are violent and they smoke dope all the time.
	Right, but of course that's Kingston where it's coke and heroin and not weed.
	No, they smoke a lot of weed.
	Yeah, but Kingston is...
	They're going to associate violence with weed.
	Associate violence with weed.
	All right, so we're on the lookout for a story about Jamaica and violence and weed.
	All right, well, you know what?
	We call all this stuff time and time again, and sometimes we forget to say, uh, told you so.
	We should have a jingle.
	It's no agenda.
	We told you so.
	Na-na-na-na-na-na.
	Something like that.
	Well, it doesn't have to be that nasty, but yeah, something like that.
	Meanwhile, of course, legalized marijuana in California would help the budgetary situation because if you play fix-it tickets, this is what's going on now.
	So, because of the amount of time we've been doing this show, which, John, we've had our second anniversary already, I'm sure.
	We should, one of these days, figure out how long we've been going with this program.
	Without commercial interruption, I might add.
	Because of it, and because of what we talk about, and often the accuracy of things we peg or predict or are observing, we get a lot of inside information.
	And so now it's at the point where people are saying, okay, I'm sending you this, please don't mention my name.
	And this is...
	That was the cue for you to play the clip.
	Which clip?
	Fix-It Tickets.
	Oh, yeah.
	I didn't know I had a cue.
	Should I play it now?
	Well, you might.
	I mean, let me back up a bit.
	I'm going into a different story.
	What are you doing?
	I was trying to do the final icing on the cake for the marijuana.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	And the fix-it ticket thing is where we're headed if we don't legalize grass and they have to start gouging the public.
	Play it now?
	Yeah.
	Well, there are more cops on the streets of Vallejo today.
	Solano County Sheriff's deputies and the Highway Patrol are helping patrol the city following several of the high-profile violent crimes in recent weeks.
	The city's police department has lost dozens of officers over the past five years because of their budget cuts.
	Budget cuts a problem everywhere, and cities are coming up with a lot of creative ways to pull in more money because of that.
	Phil Mateers says San Francisco is looking for broken taillights and cracked windshields, things like that, right, Phil?
	We've all had it.
	It's called a fix-it ticket.
	You get them from cops if your tires are too bald or you've got a busted light, as you said.
	You get it fixed, you take it in, you get a cop to sign it, you pay a little fee, and everything's okay.
	Only these days, thanks to state budget problems, the fee's higher, and it seems like more of those tickets are being issued.
	Here's the story.
	Ah, interesting.
	You know, this has been going on in the UK for a long time.
	Yeah, and it's in Oakland.
	They've changed the parking hours to 8 p.m.
	So people can't go to a restaurant without having to run out and feed the meters.
	The whole thing has become a disaster.
	We need some other forms of income.
	And this fixed ticket thing is a total scam.
	A lot of people don't realize that the ticketing system in San Francisco and other major cities has been taken over by private industry.
	They've outsourced it.
	And they don't give a shit about having the officers sign off on these tickets.
	This was a mistaken report.
	Because I've had fix-it tickets.
	You pay the ridiculous fine, which is $50 to $100 for whatever it is.
	And then that's it.
	There's nothing to sign.
	It just goes into the coffers.
	And you can get the ticket again.
	Because why would you have a cop sign off on it when you can keep issuing the tickets over and over?
	So you get more money.
	It's a complete scam.
	They've got to raise money somehow.
	Yeah.
	Well, legalize dope and that'll do it.
	Alright, so back to my story about inside information.
	And there's two parts to this story.
	One is about the sugar crisis.
	Which I'm now pretty much convinced this is an artificially created crisis.
	And by the way, the cold weather from blowing that hole in the exosphere and thermosphere over Norway, that's what that spiral was all about.
	That didn't help.
	That's messed with the weather globally.
	So, we've been talking about stevia, which is now deemed to be the replacement of high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners.
	And...
	And so I'm talking to my guys on the inside, and they came up with a very interesting theory.
	So we know that stevia, which, if it's not the hybridized kind, which probably means it's genetically modified in some form or other, and then probably is not going to be good for you, stevia is a natural sweetener, which, although natural and not bad for you, tastes like crap.
	This is according to my colleague John C. Dvorak.
	So, my guy on the inside thinks that Stevia is a red herring, and that the whole plan is to start sweetening stuff that tastes like crap because it contains Stevia, and then, boom, we get some kind of magical new sweetener on the market.
	Something new is being planned.
	Oh, that could be.
	That makes a lot of sense.
	Now, the question is, what we have to do is discover what company has got this thing waiting in the wings.
	Sounds like a good investment.
	That's what we've got to look into.
	And I would say that aspartame, of course...
	It's got to be in the literature.
	It's in the literature.
	Well, aspartame, of course, is what most companies are using now, including the cola companies.
	And aspartame, as many of you know, is a company originally...
	It was run by Donald Rumsfeld, just to make you feel good about it, and was outlawed by the Food and Drug Administration until he got into the administration with Bush, and then all of a sudden, oops, it was approved.
	So maybe we've got to look at it somewhere around the Rumsfeld dude and see if he's got anything cooking.
	But I think it's a great theory, and I am definitely looking, and I agree, it's got to be in the literature somewhere.
	So we're all looking to see what the magic sweetener will be, which will come to replace this crappy-tasting stevia.
	Yeah, that's not bad.
	That's a two-step marketing process.
	It's actually very creative.
	That could work.
	It's pretty good, huh?
	Yeah, no, I'm in on that one.
	I'm sold.
	But we have to figure out what the sweetener is going to be.
	So it has to be something that's probably borderline toxic.
	It's possible that Rumsfeld's company, whatever that was, is surrounding it.
	There were probably...
	Research papers.
	There's a number of good websites now that you can look up research.
	I think artificial sweeteners would be the search term.
	It has to be something that hasn't been approved and it has some weird characteristics.
	It's probably dangerous but really sweet or something.
	Who knows?
	So, producers out there, get on the Googles and start looking for it.
	Because there's got to be something we haven't found yet, and it's got to be coming.
	And there's a couple things that can happen.
	One, we'll be able to play that jingle we don't have yet.
	And two, we could make a bundle.
	We could make a lot of money investing in that company.
	Yeah, it's a possibility.
	If we're going to stay...
	Is this a section of real news?
	Because we have to play a couple of these bad acting.
	Before we get to that, can I just do one more that will blow you away?
	Okay.
	So...
	Is this real news, though?
	No, no.
	Well, this is like inside information.
	Oh, that's right.
	This is financial insider stuff.
	Because, you know, I continue to investigate the sham that is the Bush-Clinton involvement in raising money for Haiti...
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	Shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity.
	So the Clinton Bush for Haiti fund does not actually exist.
	I'll just reiterate it.
	Go ahead and look at it.
	If you look at the website, it says it right there.
	It says the money is going into a Texas foundation that George Bush is a board member of who have about $600 million in the bank.
	In the bank, I'm telling you.
	You can take that to the bank.
	And then the other half of the money is going to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation.
	And so I'm looking at this thing.
	We all know the Better Business Bureau has like seven or eight counts of fail for that foundation.
	Amongst others, board members are not known, all kinds of...
	Really shady crap.
	We know that from the financials, they did $135 million in fundraising last year, $30 million of which went to salaries, which many people who work in nonprofits are just emailing us saying, what?
	What?
	That's outrageous.
	And so one of my guys on the inside, who apparently works at a financial institution that is either in Switzerland or has an affiliate in Switzerland, overheard, and he's sending me the transcripts, because a lot of these meetings are documented, about and he's sending me the transcripts, because a lot of these meetings are documented, about a group that Are you familiar with Zug?
	I've heard of it.
	Yeah, Z-U-G is one of these small little hamlets in Switzerland that has its own tax regulation.
	And essentially, the people that live there all have the last name of Ink.
	So it's a whole bunch of Inks, as in I-N-C. And so there was a guy who was setting up an Ink...
	And here's the quote.
	He's not happy.
	He says, quote, a lot of, and I'm sorry to use this language, but I have to use the quote, a lot of fucking dickheads are looking for info that's none of their concern.
	And he went on to say that he had to set up a business in Zug because there's somebody he had to pay some money back to For something he did for him a while back.
	Okay, so that's the information.
	Now, the name of the guy?
	Pincus Green.
	Does this ring a bell?
	No, I never heard of Pincus Green.
	Pincus Green was one of President Clinton's presidential pardons when he left office.
	No.
	So, and this guy was in jail for embezzlement, tax fraud, etc., So if you connect the dots, Pincus Green gets pardoned by the president, he goes to set up a thing in Zug, and he's slushing money into the Clinton Foundation, because where else are you getting $135 million from?
	And Clinton's extracting it in salaries!
	That's how it works.
	Well, Zug is in a beautiful location.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, if you're going to sit somewhere...
	I mean, it's like a very nice lake.
	Yeah, I'm not saying it's not a good idea.
	It's a great idea.
	I'm just saying it's kind of messed up.
	Who knew that Clinton was this much of a sharp operator?
	He's brilliant.
	All right.
	Is it time to go back to real news?
	And now, back to real moments.
	Bad acting on my favorite topic on Nowhere Children.
	I wanted to do a, I think I'm going to do a segment every so often when I, usually when I don't have enough clips.
	Because you know, the C-SPAN stuff has been terrible.
	All you get is this woman moaning about mud huts.
	I mean, this is not interesting.
	I got a Hannity clip that's kind of okay, but it's just to ridicule something he said.
	So I thought we'd play a little bad acting, which would just annoy you to no end, and this should be as annoying as any of it.
	Now, the first one is a bad acting clip number one is from the Law& Order Criminal Intent with Jeff Goldblum performing his heart out.
	And just so you know, we love listening to television programs, drama programming, because only then, when you take away the images, can you hear how bad the acting really is.
	So, clip one?
	Yeah, Jeff Goldblum.
	Oops, you there, John?
	Yeah.
	Oh, you dropped out.
	Jeff Goldblum what?
	He's playing the piano, and he comes out to say that he's a cop, and you'll hear it.
	Okay, first of all, Jeff Goldblum playing the piano.
	That's funny right there.
	And I'm a cop.
	And I'm a cop.
	Are you one of the losers in the 50,000?
	Why are you a cop?
	Because Because I like it and I'm good at it.
	And that kid is a killer.
	John, why are you a cop? - Because I like it, and I'm good at it, and that kid is a killer.
	I just needed to end with dramatic music.
	Nice.
	You know, by the way, that little town of Zug is a very short drive on the 4, or actually the 4A from the 3, from Zurich, the real seat of power.
	Of Switzerland.
	Okay, now, bad acting number two came from the, just to keep the variety, this is from the CIS New York show, and this has some of the flattest acting in the world, and this clip speaks for itself.
	Having any fun?
	I'm always having fun.
	It's the best part of the job.
	Bring the pieces of the puzzle together.
	I got a call from Flagg.
	No, Stella.
	I mean, his mother dies when he's young.
	His father gets murdered.
	He gets into the foster care system, which is a beaut, let me tell you.
	And now he may be convicted of a crime that he didn't commit.
	The blackhead, no.
	What?
	Your cell phone is off and you haven't checked your messages.
	Flank called to say that he wouldn't go to the DA until you both agree and that he didn't mean to be so, I think he said, thick.
	I guess I may have overreacted a little.
	Yeah.
	You have to be so quick with yours, yeah.
	Here's the jail's visitors a lot.
	Thank you.
	Bobby Lugano, he's got quite a few visitors from Lance Moretti.
	Shoot me!
	I can't listen to it.
	There's a YouTube clip, because we're always joking about how all these dramatized series are trying to make you believe that the cops have all this amazing technology where they can zoom, enhance, rotate, and they always see the perpetrator in the reflection off the bald guy's head or off a screw on a license plate.
	And meanwhile, Mevio's studio got broken into two months ago downstairs in the basement.
	And the cops come in and we're like, well, can't you dust for prints?
	Nah, nah, you know, we can't really get much off of anything.
	It has to be that certain type of surface.
	They couldn't even dust for prints.
	I'm like, don't you have like the ultraviolet glasses?
	And the gas that makes you disappear anywhere.
	Yeah, so listen to this clip, which is a, it's a compilation of all these shows.
	Okay, now let's get a good look at you.
	It's kind of fun to see the video with it, but you'll get the audio soon enough.
	Run that back.
	Wait a minute.
	Go right.
	There, freeze that.
	Full screen.
	Okay, freeze that.
	Vector in on that guy by the back of you.
	He's moving right here on this spot.
	With the right equipment, the image can be enlarged and sharpened.
	What's that?
	There's an enhancement program.
	Can you clear that up, Benny?
	I don't know.
	Let's enhance it.
	Enhance section A6. I enhance the detail, and...
	I think there's enough to enhance release it to my screen.
	It has to be fletching in her eye.
	Let's run this through video enhancement.
	Better than you enhance this.
	I know.
	I've been working on this reflection.
	Someone's reflection.
	Reflection.
	There's a reflection of the man's face.
	A reflection.
	There's a reflection.
	Zoom in on the mirror.
	You can see a reflection.
	Can you enhance the image from here?
	Can you enhance it right here?
	Can you enhance it?
	Can you enhance it?
	Can we enhance this?
	Can you enhance it?
	Hold on a second, I'll enhance.
	Zoom in on the door.
	Times ten.
	Zoom.
	Move in.
	More.
	Wait, stop.
	Stop.
	Pause it.
	Rotate a 75 degrees run vertical, please.
	Stop.
	Go back to the part about the door again.
	We've got an image enhancer that can fit that.
	We can use the produce and method to see into the windows.
	This software is stated they are.
	The eigenvalue is off.
	With the right combination of an algorithm.
	He's taking elimination algorithms to the next level and I can use them to enhance the small ground.
	Lock on and enlarge the z-axis.
	Enhance.
	Enhance.
	Freeze and enhance.
	There you go.
	They all say the same thing.
	Freeze, enhance, zoom in, got it.
	A friend of mine who's becoming a lawyer says that this sort of thing is poisoning the jury pool in this country.
	Oh, I'm sure it is.
	By making people think cops can do more than they can, so when they testify, they're given a free reign to say whatever they want.
	It could be told horse crap.
	Meanwhile...
	It's a very dangerous situation.
	And this is not storytelling, by the way.
	You know, these guys are basically cheating on their storyline because, you know, you enhance and the next thing you know, you got the guy's face, which is like not detective work or anything else.
	It's just bogus.
	Yeah, and people believe this.
	And people believe it.
	Yeah.
	So meanwhile, two guys who were smoking in a Queens bowling alley who, you know, of course, the security guard came up and said, hey, you guys can't smoke here.
	Get out!
	You can't smoke here!
	And so, I don't have all the details.
	I got the story in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	The guys, of course, said, well, screw you!
	We're going to smoke!
	And the security guard shot them both in the stomach.
	It's quite a contrast to the security guards up in Seattle who let some girl kick the crap out of somebody else as they stood around.
	Yeah, I was just watching that on Fox News.
	It's crazy.
	It's crazy.
	Hey, something happened in the Ukraine while we weren't watching.
	Very interesting.
	Oh.
	Yeah, there were two...
	So we have the Princess Leia-looking woman.
	Her name is Yulia Timoshenko.
	And she, of course, wants to be part of NATO and the European Union and wants to be in.
	And then there's the opposing candidate, Viktor Yanukovych.
	I think I know I'm butchering that.
	So they had their elections and Viktor won.
	And now everyone's saying, well, there's going to be protests in the streets because everyone wants to be a part of Gitmo Nation.
	It's impossible.
	And you see this woman.
	This woman is...
	You just want to hate her.
	She's got that braid over the top of her head and she's got that...
	She's always wearing white designer clothing and pearls and...
	You know, a country that is not necessarily in the best of economic shape.
	And of course, she was a part of the, I think, was it the Orange Revolution?
	Don't know.
	Yeah, I have to catch back up with the Ukrainian situation.
	Yeah, because typically what happens very much like Georgia is, you know, or Haiti for that matter.
	The CIA will come in, will support the guy that they want in, and essentially they have their hit squads causing a ruckus in the streets.
	The CIA book Legacy of Ashes documents this perfectly, as does Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
	And then they also will threaten the incumbent, or the person they don't want to win, and say, you know what, we'll kill you.
	So how about we take you to Africa, and we set you up with an ice pad, and you shut up.
	Isn't that much better for everybody?
	Oh, by the way, here's this gun.
	I'm holding it to your family's head.
	And that's how it works.
	It's effective.
	You can't deny that.
	So there's something else going on.
	I have not gotten to the bottom of it.
	Maybe somebody could explain it, but play Vancouver Olympics Protester.
	And another U.S. activist has been blocked from entering Canada to cover the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
	John Weston Osborne of Salt Lake City says he was detained, searched, and denied entry after trying to cross over into Canada.
	I was expecting to get kind of shook down, but I wasn't expecting the type of just the animosity and the humiliation.
	Even though it was only two hours, it was a really unsettling experience because they made me well aware that I had no rights and that there was no one there to protect me.
	Osborne's ordeal comes days after Canadian border officials blocked Chicago radio journalist Martin Macias from entering Canada because he was planning to spend a week documenting anti-Olympic protests.
	And those are some of the headlines.
	Yeah.
	How is that a headline?
	Because it's basically saying stay away.
	No, how's this a headline, though?
	This was one of the headlines.
	We got this dipshit, and I don't know, I don't know the kid.
	But he tries to get in, but I send you, in the show notes, there's a link to an article about him.
	He actually was told twice not to come in.
	But I mean, how hard is it to walk into Canada, unless you go to there and you go, so what are you here, eh?
	I'm going to see the Olympics.
	Okay, go on in.
	Or, what are you doing, eh?
	Why are you coming to Canada?
	And you say, because the Canadians suck and they're slavers and I'm going to prove it by filming all the protests that you guys are going to see.
	I mean, what do you do?
	You get to the border and you say, what are you doing?
	I'm going to Canada to watch the Olympics.
	Come on in.
	There's like hundreds of thousands of people going up there to watch, or tens of thousands going up there as we speak.
	They don't have any trouble getting in.
	Why does this dipshit, I'm dying here, why does this dipshit have trouble getting in?
	I don't know, man.
	Because he's either got a big protest, you know, the cool t-shirt, by the way.
	Which I think is hilarious.
	I don't know if you've seen it, but this t-shirt all the protesters are wearing, you probably had it on.
	It's a bunch of, you know, the Olympic rings.
	Every one of the rings is a part of a handcuff.
	That's a good one.
	I like that.
	It's actually quite attractive.
	If anyone can get me one of those, I'll wear it.
	We'll wear real handcuffs.
	I'll wear the thing and try to get into Canada.
	But what is going on?
	What is the protest about the Olympics?
	I mean, it's just a stupid commercial enterprise.
	Can someone explain to me?
	Yeah, so first of all, people do have to understand that the Olympics is a commercial deal, okay?
	And this is big, big, big money.
	And it's all about the television rights.
	It's about the big sponsorships.
	And I have met and worked with people of the International Olympic Committee, subcommittees, that is, of countries.
	They're jackasses.
	They are complete control freak, out-of-control people.
	Thinking that they rule the world under this...
	Old-style European corporate type.
	And they all go, oh, it's so important, the Olympics.
	It's just another sporting event that's completely commercialized, and they treat all of these athletes like slaves.
	There's a story in the show notes where...
	Yeah, totally exploited.
	And, you know, they have to wear certain clothing.
	You know, it has to look tight and trim, and you can't have socks that are too short.
	And basically, shut up, slave, and ski!
	Ski, you slave!
	And so there's all kinds of weird stuff going on.
	And oh, by the way, we should definitely mention that because there's a lack of snow, which is being called freakish, this of course is being used as a...
	You see?
	You see?
	Climate change is true!
	Don't be a denier!
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Meanwhile...
	The government, our government in Gitmo Nation, old school, opened up a new climate research center.
	They had to postpone it due to bad weather, I might add, due to the snowstorm in Washington, D.C. John, I want you to bring up climate.gov, and I encourage the chat room to do this as well, because I have a question for you.
	So, you know, essentially, and by the way, now what you're hearing everywhere, because cap and trade is now being discussed once again, so healthcare is kind of on the back burner, cap and trade is coming, I have something to say about that as well.
	And this, of course, is based upon the science, which we all know is in...
	The science is in!
	...of climate change.
	Um...
	They're saying that, well, you know, the bad weather we're having right now is because of climate change.
	Just so you know, now that it's totally out of control...
	No, it's because of global warming.
	Well, yeah, exactly.
	But they're calling it climate change.
	But it's because of global warming, it's snowing more.
	All right?
	So, as long as you understand the science is in.
	Now...
	So the NOAA, which stands for National Oceanography...
	Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
	Yeah, those guys.
	So they're starting up their own climate division.
	Because, of course, all of these douchebag scientists in the UK and in Europe, a part of the IPCC, falsified the data.
	So now we have to come up with some new secure data.
	And, you know, they're saying, oh, we're releasing all...
	I'm sure Vivek Kundra is behind this somewhere.
	Oh, we're releasing all the data we have on climate change.
	Just like weathermen, it'll now start a whole new industry of people who are talking about the climate.
	So they've got some of this data on the homepage of climate.gov.
	If you scroll down, John, they have a number of charts.
	And the charts are temperature, carbon dioxide, parts per million, incoming sunlight, I guess it's Wm squared, so warmth per square meter, sea level, and Arctic sea ice.
	So you've got these five charts.
	Look at these charts, John.
	As a learned man, what is the first thing you see that is an anomaly amongst these five charts?
	Well, the thing that gets me is that the charts don't have the same endpoint, but more importantly, they only go back to 1950.
	Well, I think that you nailed it right off the bat.
	So the charts all end around 2004, except for the incoming sunlight chart, which ends around the end of 1999.
	Yeah, it seems to be 10 years of data missing.
	Yeah, and it seems to be spiking up significantly.
	So all these charts, four of them, have data up until 2004, except for sunlight, which, you think that could cause something to warm?
	Well, not only that, but it's not as though this is data that needs a lot of massaging.
	But I mean, look at it.
	It stops.
	They stopped measuring sunlight after 1999?
	What happened to the data?
	Why is it not there?
	I don't know.
	Maybe the computer crashed?
	I don't know.
	So it's bogus.
	And you look through this thing.
	Oh my god, man.
	They've got educational program here under education.
	Click on that one for a second.
	The word grant seems to come up a lot.
	Oh yeah.
	Here's all this stuff.
	Teaching resources.
	Why don't we start a little organization and score some cash?
	Teaching resources, student activities, interactive tools, lab and session plans, present climate science.
	They're indoctrinating our children.
	With as far as I'm concerned, the minute you say the science is in and it covers everything, then all the science is unreliable.
	That's how science works.
	That's how it works.
	Science is always up for debate.
	And they're just plowing ahead, plowing straight through all a part of cap-and-trade, which is now coming into play.
	And you might want a note about cap-and-trade.
	House resolution...
	Hold on a second.
	Let me pull this up for you, because, of course, I've been doing that work for you.
	Where is it?
	Explain cap-and-trade for a minute, John, while I look for this.
	Yeah, the idea is that companies that produce a lot of CO2 will have the emissions capped at some level.
	In other words, they can't produce any more than that.
	But they can trade.
	They can produce more if they trade someone else who produces less than their cap.
	In other words, you have company A producing CO2. The number two and the company B producing the number.5 and the cap is one.
	The two guy can trade some of the.5 for his and knocks his down to 1.5 and then he has to find somebody else like that.
	Anyway, you get the picture.
	It's a scam is what it is.
	It doesn't count.
	I mean, all it does is create a phony market.
	As all the left-wingers say, I'm in total agreement with them, if you want to cap CO2 emissions because you're sincere about this.
	This is, by the way, a giveaway to me that they're not sincere.
	If you want to cap because I think they're insincere and I think the CO2 thing's bogus.
	You want to cap it?
	You cap it.
	You don't cap and trade.
	You cap it.
	You say you can't do it?
	You just can't do it.
	They don't have pollution.
	They don't have a guy belching out black smoke in the middle of San Francisco, trading with some guys not belching any smoke out in Kansas City.
	It's the same thing.
	Alright, so we have H.R. 2454, the cap-and-trade bill.
	And here we go!
	In the cap-and-trade bill, which was passed by the House of...
	The House.
	Was it not also passed by...
	Oh, no, so it's in the Senate.
	Yeah, it's going to die there, I hope.
	Okay, the CBO, the Congressional Budget Office, estimates...
	That in just a few years, the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year.
	And here's the crazy thing.
	If you want to sell your home, and that includes a mobile home, you will have to obtain a license, actual permission from the EPA to Because your home has to be properly weatherized,
	you have to have all the right energy and water efficiency requirements, which of course will all be crap made by GE that you'll have to install in your home, and otherwise you will not obtain the license, the freedom to sell your home.
	Yeah, that's one of many things.
	Also, there's a discussion of a yearly energy-wasting inspection.
	You have to have somebody come in every so often and check your house to make sure you're not leaking, you know, so you're not wasting energy because that's causing more CO2 and all the rest of it.
	There's a bunch of onerous little regulations in this stupid law, which was the most, I think it was, the people that voted for it or even thought fondly of it should be, you know, excoriated, kicked out of office, and tarred and feathered.
	Yeah.
	This is a very anti...
	This is just a terrible, terrible, terrible situation.
	It's inexcusable.
	It's reprehensible, actually.
	And then, of course, the funniest piece of...
	Let me reiterate, by the way.
	You want to cap CO2? You cap it.
	You don't cap and trade.
	You don't create all this other bogus crap.
	You don't create inspectors.
	You don't create a bureaucracy.
	You don't limit people on selling their house.
	You just cap it.
	If you're sincere, just cap it.
	Pass the law.
	Just cap it.
	What's the big deal?
	From the We Predicted department, of course the body scanners, the naked body scanners that are now being set up in airports all across Gitmo Nation, that's globally, we said, you know, what's going to happen?
	Some celebrity is going to have his or her picture, it'll be naked, and it'll get out there, and then they're probably going to clamp down and offer some kind of bounty and...
	You know, and then debunk it all.
	And what happens at Heathrow Airport?
	We have a Bollywood star.
	Yep.
	He goes through the naked body scanner.
	What's his name again?
	I don't know.
	Who cares?
	We don't have any Indian listeners.
	What difference does it make?
	Sean, well, at Heathrow, if you've ever been through Heathrow, many of the security personnel are Indian or Pakistani.
	Yeah, and they want to get pictures of these hot, especially these hot Bollywood women.
	Well, so this is a guy.
	So we have Indian film star, Bollywood star, Shahrukh Khan.
	He goes to the naked scanner, and then two female security employees come up to him and say, Hey, could you please sign this picture of your naked ass?
	And it was like everything was visible.
	It was me naked.
	And they asked me to sign pictures.
	Of course, he's such a douche, he signed the pictures.
	What an idiot.
	He should have grabbed the damn thing and started screaming at the top of his lungs.
	Well, he went on Jonathan Ross, which is kind of the weekly version of The Tonight Show in the UK, and he basically laid the story down.
	Well, you know what, another good thing, if somebody, you know, they should say, oh, that's great, let me sign it for you.
	Here, hold it up and they get your picture.
	Yeah.
	And then taking a picture of them with his camera phone.
	Whatever the case is, yeah, this is going on.
	Who are we kidding?
	They can't stop it.
	This is a classic example of what happens when these bureaucrats...
	This has got nothing to do with security.
	It's all security theater.
	Then they're going to make us go through this, and they're just basically collecting naked pictures.
	They're a bunch of perverts.
	Yes.
	Perverts and the real pedophiles are in the highest levels of government.
	I guarantee it.
	Now, I can say that because I have nothing at stake.
	Charlie Sheen, on the other hand, whenever he comes out and says something, they immediately shame him and throw him in jail.
	Have you been following Sheen?
	No, I've followed the last couple of things, but I know there's something new that happened, but I never followed up.
	Well, he was charged with assault.
	He had some kind of argument with his wife on Christmas Day.
	He took a knife to her throat.
	Anyway, so she drops all charges.
	She says, whatever, it wasn't all that bad.
	She drops the charges.
	But meanwhile, the judge is giving him all kinds of restrictions and he can't do this, can't do that.
	He's on probation.
	So they're messing with him.
	Of course, Charlie Sheen is a guy who always comes out and says, hey, this is messed up.
	He's kind of like a New World Order CN guy.
	So they screw with it.
	It doesn't matter because Charlie Sham was like, hey, I love two and a half men.
	I don't care what the guy does.
	It doesn't work with them.
	It just doesn't.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	It's sick.
	But this thing with the picture, having the picture taken, and after all these, oh, don't worry about it.
	You know, there's no problem.
	It's never going to happen.
	I want to do two more things about...
	And by the way, you can just imagine when Pam Anderson comes through the machine...
	Kersnap!
	Kersnap!
	You know it.
	You know there's going to be naked pictures.
	There's going to be tons of them, and it's going to be a joke.
	It's just going to be a joke, and we're all going to go, oh, okay, oh, whatever.
	Hey, you got a copy of that picture?
	Who knew that would happen?
	So, Simon Cowell, he released his Celebrities of X Factor for Haiti.
	I mean, we talked about this, that they were going to do a USA for Africa, We Are the World.
	Oh, right, right.
	A show.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, it's a song.
	They did Everybody Hurts from R.E.M. They covered that.
	And the video, I can't even play it, because all it shows is people dying and their limbs chopped off and then...
	Everybody hurts.
	And then people are going like, oh, it's horrible.
	Everybody hurts.
	And at the end, people are going like, thank you.
	Thank you for helping us.
	It makes me want to puke.
	Disgusting.
	Fake.
	That song's inappropriate.
	It's inappropriate and it's a bunch of fake...
	The song is inappropriate.
	It's not about people having their limbs.
	It's about anguish.
	This is not the same as somebody had their leg crushed.
	Oh, everybody hurts.
	Hey, your leg's crushed.
	Oh, my leg's crushed.
	Everybody hurts.
	It's alright, buddy.
	I feel your pain.
	That's basically what it is.
	Hey, your arm just got amputated.
	I feel your pain.
	It's extremely callous.
	It's bad.
	It's the worst kind of callousness.
	These people should be ashamed of themselves.
	And they've got them all there, man.
	They've got all the mega celebrities.
	They're all a part of it.
	Rod Stewart's in there.
	They've got...
	What's her name?
	Do any of these celebrities realize how callous this is?
	Can't one of them say, hey, I'm not going to do this.
	This is sick.
	Are they so stupid?
	No.
	They have to be on board with the program.
	You cannot be a celebrity, certainly not in the music business, if you're not on board with the program.
	They kick you out in seconds.
	This is what Jay-Z... Jay-Z is popular and he's making jokes about the Killuminati because he knows that he's controlled by him.
	He's literally controlled by the, you know, this is mind control.
	Music is great for mind control.
	That's why they use it.
	Here, listen to a little bit of this.
	A lot of people died.
	A lot of people are suffering.
	The largest humanitarian effort they've ever seen.
	People are going to be running out of food, out of water.
	My country is in great difficulty.
	When your day is alone The situation here is about as bad as you can get When the night is yours alone It is the kind of horror Haiti has never known When you're sure you've had enough I just keep showing, like, kids maimed and bleeding and...
	It's sadistic.
	Yeah, and they all have these, you know, these...
	Listen to this.
	That's horrible.
	We're so good.
	We're singing for Haiti.
	Make the song go to number one.
	I mean, fast forward to the end.
	You can hear how it becomes so positive at the end.
	makes you want to throw up and now they've got pictures of rescuing babies Oh, look, we're so good.
	We're rescuing babies.
	Future workers in the casino!
	There it comes.
	The crescendo.
	Good job!
	Good job!
	Thank you, America!
	Thank you, England!
	Oh, we're handing out water!
	Oh, a baby is born!
	Sometimes human endurance and the human spirit are quite something.
	Oh, a baby is born with a white doctor holding it.
	Oh, beautiful.
	Ah!
	Puke!
	It's real suffering going on there and people just furthering their careers.
	It really irks me.
	You can play the pet peeve thing.
	I don't care.
	No, no, no.
	This goes beyond peeveage.
	Peeveage.
	So, you know, I talked about Iran.
	I just want to wrap it up, John.
	We're running long.
	I talked about Iran being the possible next hit for the...
	For the earthquake.
	And I'm going to change that.
	So first of all, today is February 11th, the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
	And the television is non-stop about the hit to the mouth that Ahmadinejad said he will deliver to the Western world.
	So I guess this is all just more reason to talk about shutting the country down and more sanctions because they've got nukes.
	And by the way, people in Iran don't walk around with burqas and ride camels.
	These are young, beautiful people.
	They've got cell phones and iPods.
	Of course, the Iranian government is going to cut their Gmail off.
	That could cause a revolution.
	Yeah.
	So I'm going to revise my next target.
	Because I was thinking about it.
	Target revised.
	Here it comes.
	I'm going to revise it.
	Canary Islands.
	And I'll tell you why.
	Both Bill Clinton and Al Gore, when they were occupying the White House, I like saying that, occupying.
	When they were occupying the White House, they went to the Canary Islands and they were working on this big oil project.
	And it got shut down because of all kinds of political stuff, but apparently there's oil there that we don't know about.
	And so Iran is big.
	You know, we don't have enough troops to move in quick enough.
	Haiti was pretty easy.
	You know, we had stuff kind of circling around there.
	It was conveniently located.
	So Canary Islands would be, first of all, kind of easy because it's relatively small.
	But get this.
	They've got an active volcano, which will be blamed for the earthquake.
	The oil will be found.
	It's got great tourism already, including the Obama Resort.
	Sorry?
	The resort called Obama.
	Huh.
	They changed one letter and they got it made.
	Exactly.
	I predict the earthquake will hit, the A will fall off the sign, we'll replace it with an O, and there will be tons of oil in the Canary Islands.
	This is my prediction for the next target for the earthquake machine.
	You can take that to the bank.
	It's a good one.
	You caught me off guard there.
	But if there's oil, we're going to be there.
	There's oil, and I got all kinds of information that they were trying to start it up, but of course, you know, the Canary Islands is politically a very interesting spot.
	Yeah, different countries have owned the Canary Islands.
	Everyone, like, claims the Canary Islands is theirs.
	Who does it belong to now, currently?
	I don't know.
	I guess Spain, maybe?
	I thought it was Portugal, personally.
	Oh, Portugal?
	It could be Portugal.
	One of the two.
	I know the Portuguese owned the Azores.
	I don't know who owns the Canary Islands.
	But it would be a great spot to have a little base with some oil.
	Yeah, there'll be a lot of ships down in the Persian Gulf area.
	They can get over there pretty quickly.
	Yep.
	We'll take a look for some troop movements that are based on, you know, they move troops to do some exercises.
	Yep.
	You watch exercises just before it happens.
	Absolutely.
	Coincidentally, they'll be in the area.
	Yep.
	And there you have it.
	And I just want to say good on you to the men and women who will truly, mainly men I think though, who will truly save the world from the destruction that is being brought upon us by the bankers.
	And then of course I'm talking about the hackers of the world.
	The hackers.
	Down under in Australia.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Operation Tit Storm has begun.
	As hackers are bringing down government websites left and right, This is over the small-titted women?
	Yep.
	This is the group known as Anonymous, of course known for its war against the Church of Scientology, have been launching broad attacks on government websites.
	Broad attacks?
	Broad attacks, yes.
	Bringing sites down and promising to follow up with spamming government offices with pornographic emails, faxes, and phone calls.
	I am loving it.
	Well, the Australians, as far as I'm concerned, are beneath contempt for kind of condemning small, topped women into being perceived as elements of child porn.
	It's extremely insulting.
	Yeah, and there's another thing going on down there that it seems like they're going to start killing off the old people in Australia.
	There's all kinds of news about the aging population.
	It's a problem.
	We've got to control the population.
	The old people are going to be eating up all the resources.
	There's tons of stories about this, from Bloomberg to even The Economist picked up on it.
	You can read all of those links in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	How did Australia go so wrong?
	Well, the thing is, I wonder...
	I don't know.
	Well, it's not just Australia.
	Have you ever heard of NPG? NPG.org?
	No.
	You should look at this thing.
	NPG stands for Negative Population Growth.
	And they have a scholarship contest...
	Entries must be received by April 23, 2010.
	NPG, a national membership organization devoted to population issues, invites students to compete in our annual scholarship contest.
	This year, we are asking students to create a print advertisement appropriate for a magazine or newspaper.
	Ads must be at least 100 words, not more than 200 words.
	Your ads should persuade the general public to support programs that are designed to slow, halt, and eventually reverse population growth.
	I'm thinking we can come up with a pretty good ad.
	Oh yeah.
	This is an amazing organization.
	They want to bring America back to 50 to 100 million people.
	And they're offering scholarships to propagate their message.
	To propagate their message.
	It's abhorrent.
	Well, the scholarship idea might not be a bad thing.
	I'll look into it for my daughter.
	Well, for your daughter we have something even better.
	We have Gardasil now handing out free shopping vouchers and shopping malls.
	They're not going to give her that, and it's not a scholarship.
	That's not going to get her through college.
	Yeah, but she can be walking through the mall, and the fine companies that produce Gardasil and other forms of this horrible vaccine that has been maiming and killing girls, soon to be administered to boys, they're handing out $75 shopping vouchers if you agree to take the shot.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	That's terrible.
	Yeah, of course it's terrible.
	Who should bribe people to get injected with this crap?
	Well, there you go.
	So you might want to mention it to her, that that's not a good idea, because I can see girls going like, crap, 75 bucks.
	I'll take that.
	I'll go shop with that.
	Yeah, she's likely very conservative about stuff like that.
	She'd be skeptical.
	Good.
	Anything else you want to do, John, before we close down?
	Well, we can play Hannity's clip just as a joke here, because it's kind of funny to listen to him, because these guys are now just kind of babbling and kind of meaningless, just kind of cliches, and it comes out funny sometimes, like it did in this case when Hannity seems to think that.
	Well, just play it.
	Before men were making cars and driving them around.
	We all remember the hockey stick.
	It turned out to be a fraud.
	The serious side of this is, let's just say the science is in dispute.
	Fair enough?
	Let's say that we do know that the global warming hysteria, the alarmists, that they manufactured science.
	They manufactured emails.
	So they've been lying to the public.
	And politicians have been using that.
	And the Democrats in the House passed cap and tax.
	That was going to cost the average American family 3,000 jobs and we're going to have to outsource to other countries our manufacturing.
	So the average family is going to lose 3,000 jobs.
	He is kind of dorky.
	The average family is going to lose 3,000 jobs and we're going to have to outsource to other countries.
	I wish I had 3,000 people working for me.
	I think we're going to have to work 3,000 jobs, John, if we don't get more donations.
	We're going to have to be working pretty damn hard.
	Okay.
	All right, devorite.org slash any for those of you who need to donate.
	And also, I want to thank everybody who's donated to our No Agenda stream, which is a different...
	We'll all get mentioned, by the way, on the No Agenda stream.
	Yeah, and if you donate before the end of the month, I think we can still get them in on the program.
	We'll do one minute plus.
	Yeah, more mailing and just a thank you note, and plus for the newcomers.
	I think that's about it.
	Yeah, I would like to thank everyone who has supported our show because it really does help.
	And there is a pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel, but if we don't keep it going, it's going to be a problem.
	I want to get to my magic number three for three shows a week.
	I want to do daily source code.
	I'm going to need to supplement income, essentially.
	I don't know about you, John.
	Oh, I need more money than you do.
	Hey, you got like 18 kids.
	With four wives.
	Crazy.
	Yeah, that's the way it goes.
	Alright, new Crackpot Command Center will be fully operational by Sunday, I hope.
	Right now from the 13th floor of the Marriott in San Francisco, I'm Adam Curry.
	I expect us to be late on Sunday because I doubt if the Crackpot Command Center will even be hooked up to the Internet, but I could be wrong.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday for early service.
