	Well, that's because Liz, lesbian, lesbian, lesbian, les, I mean, come on, it's easy to make this mistake.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's February 18, 2010, and time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 175.
	This is No Agenda.
	Hot!
	On the trail of the missing C-SPAN archives and coming to you live from the 13th floor of the Marriott Marquis in downtown San Francisco in the Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West, California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And better late than never here in foggy Silicon Valley North, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's a crackpot in Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	In the morning to you, John.
	In the morning.
	In the morning.
	It's always a morning somewhere.
	Somewhere it is a morning.
	Oh man, I'm so sick.
	Yeah, you have a cold or something.
	I think I've got a swine flu.
	It's the second wave of the swine flu coming through.
	Yeah, it's possible.
	So I'm in San Francisco again.
	Yeah.
	I'll be back in the new Hilltop Watchtower on Sunday.
	Just up here to enjoy the fog.
	It's been so wonderful.
	Ferries are closing down, airplanes are crashing.
	That's crazy.
	By the way, your take on the airplane crash, and I had some clips of that, of the details, but I obviously don't have too many clips today.
	You thought they turned right, but they turned left.
	Yeah, no, so we're referring to the three employees of Tesla Motors, and I must have received 150 emails of people saying, ah, ah, Ah, this is a clear case of two to the head.
	Big oil killing executives of...
	Seems unlikely.
	Yeah, no, it's like, you know, it's a very unfortunate accident.
	So what I did do is I checked out the San Jose airport information because flying into wires, I mean, the thing is you have no details.
	What I understand is...
	It blew up in the air when it flew into the transmission lines.
	Now, I think you pretty much have to hit the tower to explode in the air.
	No, they hit the top of the tower and took out all the power in the area.
	Oh, they did hit the top of the tower?
	Yeah.
	Ah, sucks.
	Here's the way it was described, and I had, like I said, I had this on clips, but I can tell you what it was.
	Yeah, sure.
	The plane took off, and then...
	Quickly veered to the left, instead of just going straight out in the direction of the runway, which it was supposed to do.
	And it veered to the left really quickly, and then almost took a complete right turn, just a very oblique right turn, and then couldn't get altitude, I guess, and slammed into the tower, the top of the tower, sheared off a wing, and then went crashing into the houses that were there.
	Okay, so...
	The first thing I did is I looked at the notices to airmen, the NOTAMs, and it clearly said there was a 100-foot transmission tower to the east of the field, so that would have meant they would have turned right, but then I was looking further yesterday and looking at the reports that would make no sense because there's no houses there.
	You're basically in the bay, so that's not where they came down.
	And the departure, because you can depart in bad weather, you can depart in fog, no problem.
	But now to hear that they suddenly veered left, I believe that this may have been a case of mechanical failure.
	It was a two-engine plane.
	Twin-engine plane, exactly, and probably one of the engines failed.
	They couldn't recover quickly enough.
	And when one of the engines differs in power, you have a high likelihood of a quick snap to the other direction, the opposite direction of the engine that has failed.
	And apparently never got above 60 feet.
	Oh yeah, well then you're definitely into the tower.
	So I think it's probably mechanical.
	No matter what, in aviation we call this a bad day.
	Yeah.
	And the guy was apparently a very experienced pilot and a nutball.
	Now, wait a minute.
	Why does an experienced pilot have to be a nutball?
	No, I said and a nutball.
	He was an engineering crazy...
	Well, you know, see, this thing...
	It's all about the maintenance.
	It really...
	It's either mechanical or it's pilot error.
	There's just no other...
	There's no other options.
	So it sounds to me like this was a mechanical failure.
	And it's horrible.
	Yeah, it's terrible.
	But what I don't like is people are like, they should have taken off in fog.
	It's no problem.
	You can take off in fog.
	It's not an issue.
	Yeah.
	Not an issue at all.
	But it blows.
	Hey John, who are our executive producers for episode 175 of this fine program we call No Agenda, which you're probably not tweeted about yet?
	Oh, I should, you're right.
	Yeah.
	My Twitter army gets irked at me when I don't tweet, I can't even say it anymore.
	Let me Twitter this real quickly as you talk about something, and then we'll give the executive producers that way they can get some credit to at least be heard by whoever pays attention to my stuff.
	Okay.
	Well, there is quite a lot of stuff to talk about today.
	Oh, it's way too much.
	Yeah.
	Which always makes me think, you know, somehow we have to get to this third show a week because these shows just become too long.
	And at the end of the show, I was listening to, you know, I do monitor what we're doing.
	Nobody complains about the length of the show.
	Nobody.
	No, but I feel rushed after we do the donations three-quarters of the way through the show, then we have 15-20 minutes, and then there's all the stuff that we still have to get to, and I'm still missing stuff.
	And it's not like it's unimportant.
	And today, actually, I think we need to talk a lot about the state of the United States finances and who, of course, is footing the bill for us.
	Well, ultimately, we are.
	But I've got, I think, some reasonable insight into the debt holders of U.S. debt, China and Japan.
	There's been a shift there and change and what the United States is doing about it.
	So we'll get to that.
	Also, mysteriously, some archives from the cspan.org website.
	Video archives have gone missing.
	Ones that I was looking for.
	So we'll talk about that.
	And, wow, you know, last night I was watching the...
	Before I went to bed, I was watching some of the Olympics.
	I have to say, for some reason, it's hypnotizing.
	Yeah, I know it's a problem.
	In fact, I was listening on the way, we went to the city yesterday to have dinner with you, and I was listening to one of the local shows, they were actually watching the Olympics and giving a play-by-play of curling.
	And even that was interesting.
	Of curling?
	No, that can't be interesting.
	It was actually, for some reason, interesting.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	I watched the women's downhill, and it was like, wow, because, you know, what was great about her.
	That girl's unbelievable, and she looks like she's having the time of her life.
	Have you seen the legs on those girls?
	Oh, my God.
	It's just like the, like, horse's legs.
	Unbelievable.
	Well, that's what you have to do if you're going to be that, you know, you have to have a lot of power in those legs.
	Oh, yeah.
	But I loved watching it because it was all icy.
	And they had a lot of really spectacular crashes.
	And I feel bad when they crash, but still, it's like, oh...
	But still, our girl, Vaughn, is just...
	We had the top two, right?
	We had...
	Vaughn was gold, and the other girl was silver.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, excellent.
	Our girls just throw themselves down the slope.
	Yeah, they're like maniacs, to be honest.
	Just hurtling down.
	It's like, whoa.
	I got some respect.
	And then she puts on a little tiara.
	Like, okay...
	Alright, so we got our executive producers for this show.
	We actually have an anomaly.
	Uh-oh.
	We have three executive producers who all came in with the same amount of money, with the exception of one guy who added 50 cents, which I'm not going to separate him out because of that.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	If someone comes in at 50 cents over, I feel that they do have a step above the rest.
	Okay.
	You know, these numbers are also so interesting that I'm giving, I think they should all be named executive producer.
	Okay.
	But you can put Steven Palsmacher's buddy, the separator, number one, because Palsmacher gave us $333.54.
	And this is on behalf of the separator, right?
	Yeah.
	Who will now be knighted on Sunday, by the way.
	Wow, okay.
	So now Stephen's already a knight, isn't he?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, so now the separator, Stephen has basically paid for his knighthood, and we're only doing knighthoods on Sunday.
	That's the deal now?
	Yeah, yeah, on Sunday.
	He's an air traffic controller, obviously.
	But we had two other guys who gave $333.
	Well, it's the magic number, John.
	Don't you know that by now?
	Let me name them.
	That's the magic number.
	Yes, it is.
	I'd rather.
	Okay, let me just read you this.
	Here's our first Luca Capodoro in Milano.
	Hey!
	One of the pig nations.
	Yeah, we got an Italian guy listening to us.
	Yes, nice.
	He's got a note.
	A microquake caused by global warming urged me to donate the perfect palindrome, which I promptly did before the crook takes all my money away.
	I guess he's referring to the...
	Berlusconi.
	Berlusconi, right.
	So what am I thinking?
	He says, by the way, I'd rather be waterboarding with a bottle of Ferrarelli instead of Avion.
	Come on, I'm Italian.
	PPS, yes, I listen to No Agenda 172 and 173 back-to-back over a long lake drive over a weekend of ski and spa in the Alps.
	Suck it, Adam.
	Uh, what does that mean?
	I don't know.
	It's okay, I'll suck it.
	Hold on.
	Because I, of course, can reach it.
	I can't hear it.
	Hey.
	Okay.
	And then we got another 333 from Matthew Hawking in Brisbane, Australia.
	Brisbane, I think you pronounce it.
	Brisbane.
	Whatever.
	I think it's Brisbane.
	Brisbane?
	Brisbane.
	I think that's what they say down under.
	If they say that, we'll pronounce it that way.
	Greeting my buzzkill and crackpot overlords.
	First John is right.
	I type like him as well with my DeNova Logitech keyboard leaning back in my chair.
	It's the best.
	In your underwear.
	You have to be in your underwear.
	Yeah.
	Says he went on and on.
	Don with Stephen Conroy and Crud, Kevin Rudd.
	I love small tits.
	It's my right to look at them without feeling like a sicko, you bastards.
	Please use the attached funding to acquire hookers and blow.
	Yay!
	Okay, right on.
	Thank you.
	Matthew, awesome.
	And then our associate.
	Oh, wow, we have an associate.
	Great.
	Another Australian.
	We must have hit a chord with the Australians last show.
	Yeah, it's about time.
	Another palindrome, 20202.
	Nice.
	From Suzanne Tacey in Noosa, Queensland.
	Longtime listener.
	That actually, I think, is Queensland.
	I think it's Brisbane and Queensland.
	Queensland, Australia.
	Long-time listener of DSC and NA. John, if you can pronounce my husband's name, he will donate too.
	His name is Massimo.
	He makes what is regarded as the best Italian cream.
	No, you messed it up, dude.
	You messed it up.
	It's Massimo.
	That's why I said Massimo.
	You said Massimo.
	Well, okay.
	I just pronounced it correctly.
	Massimo.
	He makes what's regarded as the best Italian ice cream in this part of the world.
	Ciao!
	Another Italian connection.
	Pronto, Massimo.
	So, I don't know.
	We got Australian and Italy as our keys this week.
	Well, this is good.
	And I, first of all, highly appreciate what everyone is doing for this show because it does keep us going.
	And it's great to have these executive producers.
	You know by now that it really does help you further your career.
	We have empirical proof.
	It can get you jobs, if not only through the karma factor.
	So, Steven Pelsmarkers, on behalf of the separator, Luca Capodoro?
	Was it Capodoro?
	Capodoro.
	Luca Capodoro.
	Okay, hold on.
	Let me just correct that in the show notes.
	And, uh...
	Matthew Hawking, our executive producers, and then, of course, Suzanne Tassi is our associate executive producer.
	Thank you so much.
	You can put it on your CV. You know who could use this on his resume?
	Tom Merritt.
	It would look good on Tom Merritt's resume.
	Tom Merritt needs more stuff on his resume.
	He needs more stuff on his resume.
	TomMerritt.com.
	We were just kind of kidding around the other day, but if anybody wants to go look up Tom Merritt's resume if you want to see somebody who's detail-oriented.
	If you want to see a resume that should have an executive producer credit for no agenda on it, then this is the guy.
	Tom's.
	Tom should have one.
	Tom Merritt.
	All right, so again, thank you very much.
	And now, of course, you too can follow our formula, which is so simple.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	And we take no prisoners while we do it darn it New World Order Shut up, slave.
	So, before we get to your massive amount of clips, John, I just want to get this out.
	So, there's a lot of information.
	And by the way, the show notes are chock full, once again.
	Find them at NoAgendaShow.com.
	And if you use the Pocket No Agenda iPhone app, you can actually search through the show notes.
	Have you ever seen that thing, John?
	It's amazing.
	It's amazing.
	Dick.
	Seriously.
	Oh, I'll get to that later.
	Anyway, so there's a lot of information about Japan now surpassing China as the owner of U.S. debt.
	Apparently China divested themselves of $34.2 billion worth of treasuries.
	And so I guess the Federal Reserve basically owns like, you know, $5 trillion worth of our debt, which of course we pay for by borrowing from them, and that's, you know, that's the whole scam with the Federal Reserve.
	But now Japan has moved forward, and they own, I think, was it, so it's like, you know, like, they're almost neck and neck, but Japan owns more, a little bit more than China now, even though Japan also divested of $11 billion worth of our treasuries.
	So, it all of a sudden clicked in my head and made so much sense why there's all this saber-rattling against Iran.
	Because, of course, Iran supplies, what is it, like 20% of China's oil?
	I don't know that.
	Yeah, I think it's up there.
	It's like 20%.
	And so, of course, we're not pissed off at Iran, which, by the way, I'd just like to remind you, 80% of that country is under 30.
	They're all beautiful, have cell phones and iPods, and it's a very civilized country.
	They're not like camel jockeys riding through the desert.
	As our mainstream media would have you believe, the way they talk about them.
	But that's actually saying, hey, you know, China...
	The tribal areas.
	Yes, the tribal areas.
	That's a meme, by the way.
	They use that everywhere.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It makes it sound like the camel jockeys.
	I have not been in the Berkeley tribal areas.
	Well, they do ride camels out there.
	I have news for you.
	Camel toes.
	So anyway, with those spandexes, I can't even think of it.
	Hey, get to the point.
	Alright, so it makes so much sense that Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and everyone else is now starting to get on board.
	They're threatening Iran.
	And it's like a real threat now.
	Now it's getting a little more scary than it was maybe eight or nine months ago.
	But that, of course, is basically to tell China, hey, you guys better not do that anymore.
	You better not be selling any of our treasuries.
	You better hold on to that.
	We're going to cut your oil off.
	And on the other hand, it clicked all of a sudden because I didn't realize Japan owned so much of our debt.
	This is why they've been screwing with Toyota.
	Because this is like no coincidence.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	First it's the accelerator, then it's the brakes, now it's the, you know, there was another issue now, there's another Toyota recall.
	These are all government recalls, and the information is sketchy at best.
	Yeah, besides that, you know, this has been pointed out before that there's been numerous American car recall situations that were never executed.
	And by the way, there's another aspect.
	I'm not convinced that this theory of yours is correct.
	I was thinking, though, about the Toyota thing.
	And because Obama's in, and they're so pro-union, I think there's a union thing going on.
	This is the next piece of news that's going to come out.
	You watch.
	The Toyota cars that have all these problems are made in the United States by non-union people that should be in the UAW and more skilled.
	So I also thought that was an angle, but when you see how the president of Toyota, the chairman, how he has to make these public apologies, there's a lot of traditions there in Japan.
	Yeah, in the olden days he would have stabbed himself.
	Yeah, he would have hired a Kiri, exactly.
	So you predict it'll be about non-union jobs.
	I think that's valid, and it may go hand in hand.
	It's a twofer, basically.
	On the one hand, it's probably saying, hey, non-unionized people, screw you.
	By the way, if you're in a union, you get a much better health care plan.
	You'd be exempt.
	With the Cadillac plans and all that, which is still in the hopper.
	But I think we might see Honda recalls next.
	Watch.
	Mark my words.
	Okay, well, that will prove it.
	I don't think that's going to happen.
	I think what you're going to see, because then it starts to look too fishy.
	I think they'd go overboard if it's all of a sudden Honda.
	Oh, like they don't go overboard with other things.
	Well, we'll see.
	I think it would be dumb.
	Well, I'm, I'm, okay.
	Anyway, my theory is...
	I think, watch the meme, watch the meme that it's American Toyotas, the Japanese Toyotas don't have any problem whatsoever, because, you know, a lot of the Toyotas that come over here, especially the high-end Lexuses, are made in Japan.
	They're not made here at all.
	Agreed and understood, but you cannot deny that we've got a lot of stuff going on with our finances.
	The Fed has to now essentially take back the $2.2 trillion they pumped into the system.
	They have to wind down that stake they have.
	No, I agree, and I think it does send a message when you say, okay, you guys, if you can't help us out here when we need help...
	Yeah, we're going to screw you.
	Look what kind of damage we can do.
	And in all fairness, these recalls, I mean, it's almost like rumoring.
	It's not even real recall information.
	Like, oh, it looks like it could be a software thing, could be this, could be that.
	And every day there's something new with Toyotas.
	I mean, it's just no coincidence like that, with three recalls in a row.
	It was fishy from the beginning.
	Yeah.
	Alright, that was my opening salvo.
	Alright, well that's okay.
	Now here's mine.
	So Gibbs...
	Oh, no.
	You know, I watch his show every single morning.
	Gibbs.
	He has a great show.
	He comes up on his stage.
	Gibbs, for those who don't know, is the press secretary for the White House.
	And he has this show because it's on C-SPAN. It's an hour in the morning.
	He should actually get up there and say, good morning in the morning to you, everybody.
	And he's like, the way he answers questions is, I can't even play the clips for you because it makes me so angry.
	And I hope he's listening to the show.
	A lot of people...
	Oh, he's not listening to this show.
	Give me a break.
	A lot of people tweeted him saying, hey, listen to No Agenda.
	I did.
	Yeah, a lot of other people did.
	A lot of people did good.
	Yeah, there was a lot of that going on.
	Well, he said he started a Twitter account called PressSec or something like that.
	Oh, good name.
	Why not just douchebag?
	So he starts his thing out.
	He said, I'd like some advice.
	And his first post was, I'd like some advice on how to do this.
	You know, the Twittering thing.
	So I said, the best advice I could give you is to listen to no agenda.
	Yeah.
	We really don't want him listening.
	Probably not.
	So anyway, I was watching the other day, and then you can get to your story.
	The first question was about this Taliban leader they captured in Pakistan.
	Yeah, this is what my first story is.
	You're taking it now.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Okay.
	Well, do you have him talking?
	Do you have a clip of him talking?
	No, I don't have him talking.
	I just want to mention, I just want to...
	Discuss this for a second.
	Because one of the things I always tell people to do when they're deconstructing the news is that you always want to look for, and you could do this, by the way, with the reviews of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, especially after you listen to it or hear it.
	You go back in time and look for the reviews of the book, specifically the ones that slam the crap out of it.
	And then find out who those writers are, and then look at some of their other material, and you will probably have found, or you have a good shot at finding one of these plants, these intelligence agency plants that are all throughout the media.
	And, you know, you can't be absolutely sure, but you can kind of see a pattern to many of what the stories are about, and where they got this information, and what's kind of odd.
	So the first thing Gibbs...
	Twitter's about is a story about by an AP reporter Talking about this Taliban character, the Pakistani Taliban, which a lot of people, by the way, believe do not really exist, and they're just a creation of the Indian intelligence agencies, just to cause havoc.
	And for all we know, they took this guy and they were just maybe removing him from service or taking him out and pretending he's dead.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	If you start really looking into it.
	But anyway, so this guy writes this story.
	And it's a long...
	I mean, this is what Gibbs has said.
	His first Twitter is, you read this.
	This is great.
	So you read this.
	This is a very interesting story because it is long...
	And it has all kinds of weird, it's more like a philosophy, I mean, the way the story's presented, as about, you know, what happened.
	Obama's also sought to reach out to Islamic allies and tone down a U.S. rhetoric, a language shift that critics have argued revealed a weakness in an effort to win more cooperation from countries like Yemen and Pakistan.
	This isn't reporting.
	Right.
	The whole thing looks like it was planted.
	Another planted story.
	This is the kind of stuff you've always got to be on the lookout for.
	And this was Gibbs' first post.
	So if you link to it in the show notes, you can go to Gibbs' thing and look at what his first post was, besides his asking for help.
	And this was, it says, Settling in to watch Sunday's...
	This is his first post.
	Gibbs, Settling in to watch Sunday's shows.
	Sure to hear lots of talk on counter-terror.
	Hope everyone reads this.
	And then he links to this article from the Associated Press.
	Written by Matt Apuzzo, who I do not know.
	So, I can't find it because, you know, it's...
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Maybe I can find it here somewhere.
	Anyway, so when Gibbs started off...
	That day's show, and the first question out of the gate is, you know, what can you tell us about this Taliban leader who you captured?
	The way he answers the question, the arrogance, he starts off like, no, I'm not going to get into that.
	I'm just not going to get into that.
	I'm not getting into that.
	No, I'm sorry, I'm not getting into that.
	It's like, what?
	I'm not getting into it.
	What's he not getting into?
	Yeah, and he's like, why not?
	It's a logical question.
	Oh, it's a matter of homeland security.
	I really do not like that.
	Everything you need to know is in this article that he pointed out earlier.
	He should have done it up there on the podium.
	Hey, there's a really good article written here.
	Why don't you read it?
	Yeah, but then it's written and it's all controlled and he doesn't want to mess it up.
	He's not the best guy for this job and he always sounds like he's congested.
	Well, you think he's a cokehead.
	Well, I never said he was a cokehead.
	Did I? But I know some guys, they're always perpetually talking like this because they actually can't breathe through their nose under any circumstances.
	Because of the septum being separated?
	Well, no, it's just swollen.
	So after the Tesla aircraft accident or incident, the second most emailed story was about the wonderful TSA, The Transportation Security Administration, now swabbing passengers' hands.
	Yes.
	And I received a rather interesting note.
	You do a show long enough, and if you're on track enough...
	I have this note, too, I believe.
	You start to get information from insiders.
	And so there's a No Agenda producer slash listener who identifies himself as the anonymous photographer.
	And he says, look, I don't want anyone to know who I am.
	I work as a photographer for a major media outlet in the New England region.
	I would like to remain anonymous.
	I was assigned a story today to speak to the director of the TSA about this hand swabbing.
	Because apparently, besides the new naked body scanners, they now also have new swabbing machines, the IonScan 400B. And I haven't looked into the ownership of the corporation yet, but I will put the link in the show notes.
	It's basically smithsdetection.com.
	This thing is mobile.
	It's on a cart, so they can wheel it around the airport.
	They can just come up to you and say, Hey, let me swab your hands for a second.
	And so the guy said, You know what?
	Why don't you do it on another TSA employee?
	And here's what's funny.
	He says, So they swabbed it once.
	And it came out negative.
	And then he said, oh, could you do it again so I can shoot some cutaway shots?
	And then it came back positive three times for traces of NGC and NGN. I don't know what that is.
	But I guess it's some form of explosives.
	I don't know.
	NG would immediately indicate...
	Nitroglycerin.
	Nitroglycerin, yeah.
	And the guy even washed his hands, they cleaned the machine, then they swabbed his hands again, came back positive again for NGC, NGN, and MELH, and something else that the anonymous photographer didn't catch.
	But here's the stuff that freaked me out.
	Here's some stats that he has, because he did the story.
	So this is coming from a guy who went to the TSA and got the information directly from them.
	So first of all, they can walk around the airport, come up to you at any point, and say, we want to swab your hands.
	And according to the TSA, their lawyers, quote, looked at it and completely agreed this doesn't violate any civil liberties.
	I think it does.
	If you've already passed through the checkpoint, I think that's it, right?
	There should be no reason for them to come up to you and start swabbing your hands.
	The machine can detect if you fired a firearm recently, but it will also hit on heart medication.
	Of course, there's glycerin in that.
	But here's the scary stuff.
	The machine also detects traces of cocaine, heroin, PCP, THC, that's weed, methamphetamine, ecstasy, LSD, and others.
	Now, of course, they're not looking for drugs, but this is what's going to happen.
	They're going to come up to you.
	You smoke the dube before you get on the plane, which, believe me, I used to do when I was still smoking it, because it's nice.
	You fall asleep.
	And they'll say, I'm sorry, sir, you have to come with us, if they get a hit for drugs.
	Now, of course, they can't arrest you, but they can sure harass you.
	Well, you know, here's an interesting thing he points out in this note.
	He says if they hit for drugs, they can't use the information to make an arrest.
	They need a warrant or maybe bring by the drug dogs randomly.
	People have known that if you have a drug dog in the airport and he sits next to your bag, the drug dog has found something and then they can grab you.
	Now, what is the logical leap of faith that is necessary to say, well, if the drug dog can do that, Why can't the machine...
	If it's okay for the drug dog to find drugs in a guy's suitcase, then why not the machine?
	Well, but it's a little different if you're flying domestically.
	See, if you're coming from an international flight into the country, then there's smuggling.
	And there are some very basic rules, and you have no rights before you pass through customs.
	And actually, not just the passport portion, but actually all the way through when your bags have been cleared to go out into the free world, quote-unquote.
	That's a smuggling issue with bringing contraband into the country.
	But, you know, having weed and flying from California to New York, you know, there's not too many drug dogs walking around there.
	That's crazy!
	Well, let's take it, just let's skip that part then and just say that because, you know, I know the TSA has been told not to deal with anything but air safety.
	But let's just take it to the next level and be assured that because of the smuggling aspect and the fact there are drug dogs that roam around when you come in from Europe often, you'll see these little beagles and these other dogs are actually quite cute.
	Walking around, sniffing away.
	They are kind of cute, aren't they?
	Very cute.
	Hey, good doggy, doggy.
	They're looking for bombs.
	I always ask, by the way, you can ask the guy with the dog what the dog's for, and they'll tell you.
	There's either a fruit dog looking for illegal fruit being brought in, a bomb dog, or a drug dog.
	Those are the three main dogs.
	And by the way, the bomb dog does not at all know what drugs are.
	At all.
	No, they can't have dogs intermict.
	A dog is a drug dog, a fruit dog, because they have to know what the hell's going on with the dog, unless they can find some dog that can bark twice.
	Because I once flew in the Delta Sierra from Amsterdam, last time I did it, by the way, and I had some weed in my pocket.
	And it's my private plane, right?
	And the customs guys were standing right there.
	And they're like, okay, we just want to have the dog sniff the plane.
	I'm like, oh crap, I'm so in jail now.
	And the dog goes through the...
	He's going through the plane.
	I'm like, what is he looking for?
	Explosives?
	I'm like, oh, okay.
	Explosives.
	Like, I'm going to have explosives on my plane.
	Idiots.
	You brought the wrong dog.
	You brought the wrong dog.
	Grab that dog.
	Let's go check this guy's plane.
	Oh, we got the wrong dog.
	So anyway, so the point is that if you can have these dogs at the airport from international flights, why wouldn't this swabbing deal actually be transferred and used to find drugs just the way the dogs would be?
	So in other words, if you're going to bring anything in, I would just say to anybody who's out there, especially the Californians who are lackadaisical about walking around with dope, don't fly into the country from Amsterdam with a pocket full of something.
	Well, no.
	It's not a good idea.
	I mean, it's going to be less of a good idea once these machines are in place, even though the machines are just apparently full of crap, according to this guy.
	They're wrong.
	In this case, they're wrong 75% of the time with false positives.
	This is going to slow down production.
	And by the way, I flew to L.A. Thursday night.
	No, I'm sorry.
	Flying back Monday night.
	Flying back to San Francisco.
	And I had to go through the humiliation tunnel at LAX. And I was watching.
	The thing was going off every other passenger.
	The metal detector.
	And by the way, it went off only on women.
	And it happened to be a female TSA agent.
	One I recognized with this really white blonde hair.
	She's probably like 50 years old.
	50-55.
	And she was doing pat-downs every other passenger.
	And it was only with women.
	The thing went off.
	It's obvious if it's going off 50% of the time, it's not tweaked right.
	If those people aren't carrying anything, and then my bag goes through, once again, I've got a bag full of wires, batteries, transmitters, MIDI controllers, all kinds of stuff, and it goes right through, not asked to open it, but, you know, just put a bottle of water in there and watch them all freak out.
	Your bag is loaded with so much...
	I mean, you look like you're going...
	I mean, if anybody's bag should be opened, it's your bag.
	Yes, it always gets through.
	They're like, oh, that's fine, that looks good, that's no problem.
	And by the way, the cocaine thing, you know, there's been studies that show that something like 99% of all American money in circulation has got traces of cocaine on it.
	Exactly.
	So if you're going to handle money...
	Well, here's my plan.
	Before I go through the humiliation tunnel, and of course once I'm on the other side, I'm going to ensure I go to the bathroom and don't wash my hands.
	That'll fix them.
	By the way, the way it seems to me, you don't need to wash your hands because they wash your hands for you.
	I just want them to touch my nasty bathroom hands, that's all.
	It'll just give me some personal satisfaction.
	While we're on that, in Tampa, Florida...
	A meaningless protest, I might add.
	It'll make me feel better.
	In Tampa, Florida now, the TSA... Or under the guise of the TSA, they're now doing checks at Greyhound buses.
	Oh, is that because of all the Greyhound buses that have been blowed up?
	Yeah.
	Well, they happen to have someone from immigration with them.
	How convenient is that?
	As well as, so they got drug-sniffing dogs, they got ice there.
	So, you know, they're pretending like it's for your safety.
	And this article, which is, I guess, is this a Reuters article?
	Yeah.
	ABC Action News.
	They got some quotes from people.
	Chuck Lawrence says, I feel safe knowing I can get on the bus and I'm not going to blow up, said frequent writer Chuck Lawrence.
	Oh, please.
	Was he always concerned about that, apparently?
	I guess so.
	Were he sick that he was going to get blowed up?
	I guess so.
	So, of course, this is...
	Oh, and they're also there for cash smuggling.
	It has nothing to do with your security.
	This is just to make sure that, you know, we can...
	This is a fascist state is what we're talking about here.
	Yes, of course it is.
	You're describing a fascist state.
	It's got nothing to do with security.
	I wish that...
	That people knew history better, and I wish that their uniforms were more representative of what they actually are.
	Because if they just wore brown shirts, or if they had little SS insignias, then people would understand much better that this is exactly what happened in Germany.
	This is exactly what went down.
	This is how it happened.
	And they went into other countries, i.e.
	states, And then they just start shaking everybody down.
	This is a fascist state.
	History is repeating itself.
	John, you're old enough to remember this stuff.
	Yeah.
	When I was a kid, they wore black when they did this.
	We need our elders who went through the Second World War to step forward and to say, hey, hold on a second.
	We already went through this shit once before.
	Wake up, people.
	Nobody's listening to them.
	Nobody's listening to us either, apparently.
	We do our part.
	Yeah, we do our part, but damn.
	Damn.
	It's just, it's crazy.
	Yeah, fascist state.
	Alright, let's see some clips.
	It is a fascist state.
	It's actually incredibly repressive.
	And the fact that people put up with it, but again, they've already tested this on the once-tough Dutch, who used to be, you know, kick-ass types, and the Australians, who were, you know, a prison colony of a bunch of guys who were just, you know, that are tough.
	I think we discussed this over dinner.
	I have a theory about that.
	Because when I moved to the Netherlands in 1972, and the Dutch were like crazy fuckers, man.
	They were free.
	They were libertines.
	They could smoke dope.
	They had hookers.
	At the time, there was a lot of heroin use as well, and it was okay.
	And if you were hooked, we'd help you out.
	We'd get you on meth, and we'd...
	It was a free, the hippie society.
	It was a beautiful place, but they'd also go out and conquer the world in business, and they were kicking ass and doing great things all over the world and expanding this little tiny country.
	And now, you know, and the listeners and producers from Gitmo Nation Lowlands, I know they will agree with me, and I'd love to hear their views on this, is...
	There is so much frustration.
	The Dutch have been so suppressed.
	Why?
	How did this come about?
	Well, the media has always been state-controlled, the main media, up until the mid-80s.
	And then they got commercial media, which of course was still basically under control.
	I mean, Murdoch owns half the radio stations there, just to give you an idea.
	None of it is owned by Dutch corporations anymore.
	Yeah.
	You know, television is all RTL. I mean, you can trace all...
	I mean, that's just basically chewing gum for the mind.
	But the news reporting is a big joke.
	And the Netherlands is where the Bilderberg Group came from.
	It was developed by Prince Bernard of the Netherlands, who was an amazing figure in the New World Order.
	He's passed on now, but he started a lot of this.
	And you can see the frustration of the Dutch.
	They're so hammered down by all these rules and everything you do, that when they get to post anonymously anywhere online, they go crazy!
	They go off their rocker and they're just yelling and shouting and they're mean and they say horrible things and there's these forums that they, you know, like these websites where they talk about politicians and the venom that spews out of these people is unlike anything I've ever seen.
	Unfortunately, it's in Dutch so no one in the rest of the world sees what's going on.
	But yeah, these are the people who have a million cameras around them, they've got more wiretaps than any country in the world, in the world, and there's only 17 million people in the country.
	They've got a huge Muslim integration problem which was set up, predetermined, they killed the people who tried to stop it, assassinated them, Including the filmmaker Theo van Gogh and politician Pim Forteim.
	And they've been told to forget all that.
	They've got black boxes and GPSs going into their cars.
	They are the beta testers of the New World Order.
	And the people know it, but they don't have no way to express it.
	That's why we have so many listeners from the Netherlands tuning into the show.
	Anyway, end of rant.
	Sorry for y'all.
	Yeah, I think I should.
	I'll be visiting Gitmo Nation Lowlands first week of March, and I think we should have a meet-up.
	Maybe I can start something over there.
	You could probably get a meet-up, yeah.
	Well, you'll probably get picked up at the airport for just mentioning it.
	Yeah.
	We should have a meet-up.
	Oh, by the way, where does the crotch bomber come from?
	From the Amsterdam airport.
	Oh, sorry, we can't find any camera footage of him getting on the plane.
	We can't release that.
	They're in on the game.
	With the Israeli-owned security company.
	Let's play a clip, John.
	Uh, okay, well, we got a bunch of them.
	You want to go to a real news thing to break up the ice a little bit?
	And now, back to Real News.
	I got two items we want to do.
	First, I was going to do a whole series of bad acting, but I'm only going to do one today.
	It's a scene, and this is for you Brits out there, so we know that you appreciate this.
	This is from Doctor Who.
	Just play, this is bad acting.
	Okay, right then, I will.
	Because you had to go in there, didn't you?
	You had to go and get stuck, oh yes!
	Because that's who you are, Wilfred.
	You were always this.
	Waiting for me all this time.
	What is this?
	A monologue?
	What am I listening to?
	What is this?
	This is Doctor Who, the famous, you know, science fiction story.
	Yeah, but this is not the original Doctor Who.
	This is the new guy, and I never got into him.
	This is the new season, yes.
	And they've got that Billy Piper in there.
	Was it Billy Piper?
	I mean, this is a different place.
	I don't even know who it is.
	Oh, really?
	Just leave me.
	I'm an old man, Doctor.
	I've had my time.
	Well, exactly.
	Look at you.
	Not remotely important.
	For me, I could do so much more!
	So much more!
	But this is what I get.
	My reward.
	But it's not better!
	You know, the whole idea of Doctor Who was that it was, in the 70s, it was kind of a crazy, low-budget, nutty sci-fi show.
	Yeah, and it was cool that way.
	And the BBC relaunched it a couple of years ago, and it's just like, huh?
	It's overproduced.
	And they badly acted.
	Okay, the other clip I want to play is the one that the NBA, this was at the NBA All-Star Game, when there was that crazy event for Haiti and I played the Alicia Keys.
	It wasn't Alicia Keys, by the way, it was someone else.
	I've been corrected on that.
	No, no, that was Alicia Keys, because this is again Alicia Keys singing the exact same song introduced as Alicia Keys.
	At the All-Star?
	Don't tell me she's off keys again.
	She's at the All-Star game and the two announcers are saying, gosh, is there any way I can meet her?
	You know, there's the one guy, one of the sportscasters, which is apparently just in love with her.
	But here she is just singing at the All-Star game again.
	You tell me she's got a great voice.
	I'm not seeing it.
	So far, so good.
	Yeah.
	I'm just chatting!
	It's not that bad.
	Fantastic.
	She's the best singer I've ever heard.
	No, but you know, I was like, why don't you go stay in the middle of the arena?
	It's not easy singing that.
	Others have done it.
	I'm not buying it.
	I don't think it's all that bad.
	It's just not.
	Oops, sorry.
	Didn't mean to do that.
	You might as well play that.
	Really?
	I don't know what I hit now.
	Oh, you hit the psychic.
	Psychic?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	I am either going to fly or ruin that family's picnic.
	We've ruined our picnic!
	Psychic!
	Yeah, this was the episode...
	This was Family Guy.
	I saw this as well.
	This is the episode where...
	Is it Chris?
	Stewie's brother?
	Chris?
	Yeah, Chris falls in love with a mentally challenged girl at school.
	Well, which they consistently call the Down Syndrome girl.
	In fact, there's a whole dance routine where Stewie and Chris are singing about falling in love with the wonderful, awesome Down Syndrome girl!
	It was very funny.
	It was funny because it's kind of like the whole R-word thing, where comedians actually will try to take away the R-word's power, like retard, by incessantly using it over and over again, which I think actually helps the cause of people who don't like the misuse of the word.
	So I understand what they were doing, but they took it one step too far.
	And I saw this, I was like, huh?
	When Chris takes the Down Syndrome girl out to dinner and she says, you haven't asked me anything about myself, and he says, oh yeah, so what do your parents do?
	You know, my dad's a doctor or whatever, and my mom is a former governor of the state of Alaska.
	Yeah.
	And I'm thinking, oh my god, this is awesome.
	Fox News is so, Fox, the company, is so smart.
	Because on the one hand, they create the controversy, which is the way I like to pronounce it, about Sarah Palin, because of course it's a Sarah Palin reference, and then they move over to Fox News and they have Sarah Palin on bitching about it!
	Yeah!
	It's hilarious.
	She was on with O'Reilly.
	Here, I have the clip here of that.
	Here it is.
	Continuing now, Fox News analyst Sarah Palin is in Arkansas this evening and has some thoughts on this scene from the family guy.
	You're going to be this rude all evening?
	You haven't asked me anything about myself.
	Oh, um, sorry, um, uh, so what do your parents do?
	That's better.
	My dad is an accountant and my mom is the former governor of Alaska.
	So, Governor, what do you think?
	It's pretty nasty, is it not?
	This world is full of cruel, cold-hearted people who would do such a thing.
	Look, I look at Trigg, and I see perfection.
	I see a precious little child.
	You can listen to the whole thing on...
	It's in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	You can find it all there.
	But essentially...
	And Sarah Palin goes on to say, well, you know, this is mean people and they should be doing this.
	And then O'Reilly is harping on Seth MacFarlane, who, of course, you know, writes the show.
	But the whole thing is, Fox created the whole controversy in the first place.
	Yeah, I know.
	And you know what's also funny is that one of the regular, I wouldn't say he's an absolute regular, but he's been on the show at least twice now as Rush Limbaugh.
	Oh, really?
	He's been on Family Guy twice.
	He spent a whole, you know, a long period of time, you know, talking about how Seth is such a genius.
	And he means, you know, and he's not, I don't know.
	But then Sarah Palin is using the R-word the whole time.
	You know, the R-word this, the R-word that.
	She is?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	She says that people shouldn't be using the R-word, and it's like...
	What?
	So she's politically correct.
	You know, I had a bunch of clips I was going to bring on the show which I'm still trying to edit down because there's so many of them.
	Kind of setting up the Sarah Palin juggernaut with all these people who go to book signings and say, oh, she's so much different than all other politicians and she's not like the rest of them.
	She's more like us and all the...
	And, you know, this is so obvious.
	I have a clip...
	I think the Palin propaganda clip is a good example of how this is going to work.
	This is on Fox.
	I've got to leave some stuff on the table.
	Is that right?
	Is it Arnold's fault?
	I was on his transition team.
	In California, when we recalled Gray Davis, we did it.
	Who was this talking?
	This is a woman, I can't remember her name, but she's on O'Reilly, and she's talking, and they're slamming, I'll just give you the setup of what's going on.
	They're slamming Schwarzenegger for being an incompetent bonehead.
	I mean, this is Republicans slamming Republicans.
	And how it's not, she's not conservative enough, and he's, you know, sleeping with a Kennedy, so that has something to do with it.
	By the way, I have a hard time imagining those two having sex.
	Somehow it just doesn't feel right.
	I wish I could do the voice.
	Oh, Maria, come here.
	Come here, Maria.
	Sit on me.
	You're a pinwheel, Maria.
	A couple of things to point out.
	One is that the Republican Party in California is a piece of crap.
	It's dominated by Southern California religious extremists, and they can never get elected for anything.
	That's why we have two of the crappiest senators in the country right here, because the Republicans keep running maniacs that people just don't like.
	The state is a centrist state.
	It's not a right-wing state or conservative state.
	It's a centrist state.
	And so because the Republicans refuse to run a centrist in California, the extreme left-wing, very liberals, liberal types, get all the offices.
	And this is always going to continue because they're extreme.
	Well, we have our, you know, the Republicans in California are, we have our principles and we're not going to move an inch from our principles and so they don't get anything.
	So I think the whole thing is like a scam just to make the state ruined.
	But anyway, this woman who was supposedly on the transition team, I can't remember, sorry I didn't have her name written down, the transition team for Schwarzenegger after they took over when they ousted Gray Davis, who was just a complete...
	Oh, this is the guy who ate Chandra Levy.
	What?
	The intern.
	No.
	Who was it?
	No, no.
	That's not even close.
	No, this is the guy that was a lousy governor that we recalled.
	Who was the guy before?
	Where was the Chandra Levy thing?
	That was some congressman.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I don't know what I'm talking about.
	Yeah, I know, you don't really live in the state, but let's play the...
	You weren't there then, that's for sure.
	Play this thing, and you can see where this is headed and why I'm upset.
	Because of spending policies.
	Right.
	We elected a guy who said he was a Reagan-esque conservative, and this is what happens apparently when you sleep with a Kennedy every night.
	Something happens to you.
	So you...
	That's...
	Messed up right there.
	That's a messed up thing to say.
	It's bigoted.
	It's guilt by association.
	It has everything wrong with it.
	I don't think you should use the K word in vain.
	You're agreeing with Leslie that that's partially his fault?
	It is, absolutely.
	But we expected a charismatic individual to push things through.
	What we've seen in California leads the way in this.
	That we, in our recall of Gray Davis, said to the rest of the nation, we're tired of politics as usual.
	We're tired of the machines.
	We want charismatic individuals to make a difference.
	Arnold Schwarzenegger did what every other Republican is doing these days.
	He's going along with who's in power.
	And we want something different.
	At one time, his approval was 70%, and now, as Lissy pointed out, it's 3%.
	Something like that.
	Something like that.
	3?
	Really?
	Is that his approval rating?
	3?
	No, you can't get that.
	That's impossible.
	He said 3!
	Something like that.
	For some reason, they've turned on Schwarzenegger, who was a golden boy, just like four years ago.
	Like me.
	I'm the golden boy.
	Yeah, you're a golden boy.
	Is California moving to the right?
	Are they going the way of Massachusetts?
	When we recalled Gray Davis was kind of the precursor to Massachusetts, all right?
	When we recalled him, and remember, this is a state that gave the nation Ronald Reagan, and it is also about the way the nation looks at the West.
	Sarah Palin now represents that independent firebrand dynamic that we thought we had in Schwarzenegger.
	Oh, there it is!
	There it is.
	Sarah Palin represents the West.
	That we didn't.
	She's further out from the machine, and that's why the nation's responding to her.
	Are you telling me that if Sarah Palin moved to California, she could win the gubernatorial race?
	No, I'm saying she's even further west.
	She'll win the presidency because she's even further west of California.
	The folks in California moving to the right.
	We are independent conservatives, generally, which is also recognized as classical liberals.
	It's the kind of mentality that is even more conservative than people realize.
	What was the doublespeak?
	We're independent conservatives, which are classical liberals.
	What does that mean?
	Conservatives generally, which is also recognized as classical liberals.
	It's the kind of mentality that is even more conservative than people realize fiscally while being moderate socially.
	And that is the core of the independent conservative.
	If that's true, I don't know how to say that so out of control.
	All right.
	You're pissed at this because...
	One thing, this is just more bogus propaganda that leads to people thinking that Sarah Palin is a viable candidate.
	They're going to try to push her.
	All the stuff I've been seeing, I've been seeing it on C-SPAN, I've been listening to it on Fox.
	The only good news is, of course, Sarah has to come on Fox as an analyst and she can't analyze anything.
	So I think people are going to pick up, well, this woman doesn't seem that bright.
	There is a huge, I mean, there's a Sarah Palin thing going on that I just, I'm sorry, and we lost a couple of listeners because you and me, or me probably more than you because you actually like the woman because you read her book.
	I didn't say I liked the woman.
	I said I read her book and there's a little more depth than people...
	Yeah, no, I'm not saying she's a complete...
	You can't just dismiss someone just because she's a functional illiterate.
	She's an intellectual illiterate.
	I've never said she's a functional illiterate.
	No, but people around me have said this, but she actually said the book is not bad.
	It's an okay book about an American girl and whether it's fabricated or not, then you can't tell people, I'm not going to read your book.
	That's ridiculous.
	I'm not talking about that.
	I'm just saying I'm the one who seems to be the Sarah Palin basher, and I am.
	I'll admit it because I think she would be a disaster as a candidate because one would just not even have an election and let Obama go another four years, which is what's going to happen.
	The Republicans are not even trying to find somebody to run against this guy.
	No, it's very obvious.
	I mean, what's nice about this is now you can actually see how it works.
	The Tea Party has been hijacked.
	It's now the Tea Party Nation.
	And the guys that are in there are, you know, Glenn Beck is pushing all of this.
	I'm sure the guy was like, you know, he's a total CIA operative.
	It's impossible that he is not on board the program somehow.
	Maybe he must have a transmitter in his head.
	I mean, whenever it really comes down to the brass tacks, he's always on the wrong side of the argument.
	How many people in this Tea Party nation are in the Council on Foreign Relations?
	Oh, I bet you a ton of them.
	But when you get Andrew Breitbart standing on stage, you've got to question what's happening.
	These are egomaniacs.
	You don't want...
	This is...
	It was...
	I wish that there was enough English history of what happened when LPF... This was the Pim Fortan's party who was going to win the election in the Netherlands by a landslide.
	He was the only guy that was making sense.
	And he got assassinated two weeks before the election.
	The party still wins the election by a landslide.
	And they had all these Breitbart type of people in there.
	Captains of industry...
	And it was a shambles.
	It was a complete shambles for months until they finally got everyone kicked out.
	They weeded it all out.
	And then, of course, the New World Order came back in and they brought order from chaos.
	But the people who are in this Tea Party nation are idiots.
	And Sarah Palin, yeah, she's being put...
	You identified this, John.
	I think I should play the jingle, actually.
	We told you so on, go watch it.
	You called it.
	You said they're pushing Sarah Palin as the leader of the Tea Party, and she's not even standing in front of the actual Tea Party people.
	It's the Tea Party nation, which is something completely different.
	500 bucks a head.
	Is that what they paid?
	Yeah, that's what they paid to go to that event where Sarah Palin took $100,000 in claims to be giving it back.
	Why does she take it in the first place if she's going to give it back?
	By the way, the book signing clips that I have taken from C-SPAN, which are kind of promoted, it's hard to say what side they're on.
	But where Sarah Palin came to this bookstore in Cincinnati, you had to buy a ticket to get into the thing.
	I don't know.
	The whole thing is just...
	And then, by the way, I'll get some clips later.
	I just find the whole thing to be such a rigged deal.
	It's being completely pushed.
	The fact that so many people are hook, line, and sinkering to this is just astonishing to me when they should be out pounding the pavement to find someone who can really run and win.
	Or they should be taking example of Greece, which is underreported, but they're rioting in the streets.
	There are huge demonstrations.
	They're not taking it.
	This is what we should be doing.
	Instead of sitting in hotel rooms, smoking cigarettes and talking on the internet, and you in your underwear with your keyboard on your lap, we should be out there protesting and demonstrating, John.
	That's a waste of time.
	The only protest can be at the ballot box, and all the rest of it is just a way to distract you.
	Oh yeah, let's go out in the street and carry a sign that says something clever.
	It doesn't do anything.
	It seems to work for the French from time to time.
	The French are a different breed.
	They're completely crazy in there.
	Yeah, but we need some of that crazy.
	We need a can of crazy.
	We're not the French.
	Our only answer is the ballot box.
	We can actually change things.
	I think our women should stop shaving their armpits, and we should go out and burn some cars and chop some heads off.
	That's why the French are all pissed off, because the women have hairy armpits.
	You and this armpit thing.
	It's nasty.
	Alright, so I actually did some work.
	Well, I got some work, and we're going to go back to...
	I want to play a clip before you go on to your work thing.
	Okay.
	Because you brought this up once before, and I thought I'd bring it up.
	There's a big exercise that's called Cobra Gold.
	That is coming up that I picked up this little news report.
	You never heard of this, by the way, on the mainstream media.
	Is this a cyber test?
	No, no.
	The cyber thing is a different story.
	I got that story, too, but I got a different version of it.
	But Cobra Gold is going to be...
	You know, like you always said, well, it's always funny that doing an exercise just outside of Haiti, just like a week before the earthquake.
	Before there's a false flag attack, like a fake earthquake from the earthquake machine, or 7-7 in London, or 9-11 in New York City...
	Okay, so here's the latest thing going on, which is called Cobra Gold, but it seems like they do it often, but this time it's being done in Thailand with Koreans and some other people involved.
	And it's supposed to be like a war exercise, but they talk about rescue missions and some other stuff kind of in the news report.
	This came from the Pentagon station, reported by an army guy, you know, that Pentagon news, which is obscure to say the least.
	Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.
	Welcome to Daily News Update.
	I'm Petty Officer Dustin Diaz.
	Cobra Gold 2010 is an annual joint exercise co-sponsored by the United States and the Kingdom of Thailand.
	The U.S. joins more than 20 other nations in the three-week training exercise in Thailand's eastern province of Rayong.
	South Korea is participating for the first time.
	The exercise focuses on peacekeeping operations, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief.
	It is the largest exercise of its type in the world, involving more than 11,000 personnel, including 6,000 from the U.S. That's interesting, because there's 20,000 U.S. personnel in Haiti right now, and this is the largest exercise?
	How does that make sense?
	Petty Officer Eric Stelzel brings enough of it.
	The thing was, it goes on and on about the war aspects of it, but if you listen to the humanitarian and all the rest of it at the beginning, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
	It seems to me that they're practicing these recovery missions or whatever.
	Isn't Cobra Gold a drug reference?
	Isn't that some kind of heroin?
	I don't know.
	Sounds like it should be a drug reference.
	Some in the chat room would know.
	So that's interesting.
	Geopolitically, that's interesting.
	So South Korea is participating, but it's off the eastern coast of Thailand.
	Another great place for a tsunami.
	Oh, yeah.
	But I still have the Canary Islands as my mark for the next target for the earthquake mission.
	I think the Canary Islands are a good target.
	All right.
	So I'm looking through C-SPAN. C-SPAN, which, by the way, the chairman of C-SPAN, the chairman and CEO, is a Time Warner guy.
	Now, we know that, of course, C-SPAN is an initiative from the joint cable companies.
	But, you know, it's like, so basically, who owns this?
	You know, the cable companies own it.
	Who own the cable companies?
	Well, big conglomerates.
	But anyway, so I'm watching C-SPAN.
	What we do is you don't have to.
	C-SPAN.
	So they've got this new, it's in beta still, but it works.
	You can search by transcripts, you can search by person, search by date, search by show, if it's a committee hearing, etc.
	So you know I went back and I got all those clips from our Homeland Security gurus sitting there.
	We had a couple of different clips.
	But on January 27th, The House Homeland Security Committee were addressed by Michael Leiter and That's the national counter-terrorism czar who went off skiing after the crotch bomber, his attempt was foiled.
	Big sister, Janet Napolitano.
	Can't hardly say it.
	And then Patrick Kennedy, whose responsibilities include the consular services, which includes visas.
	And I'm looking for this video, and it's no longer available in the C-SPAN archives, which means there's also no transcript available from January 27th.
	If anyone can find this for me in the C-SPAN archives, please let me know, because it's just gone.
	I pulled clips from this before.
	And so I was able to go to, what's the site here?
	The Federal News Service Transcript Service.
	Because the question came up as to this guy's visa.
	Now, we already played the clip for you where I think it was Kennedy who said, well, you know, we often let people...
	No, it wasn't Kennedy.
	It was Leiter.
	So we often let people go because, you know, the agencies want to follow him and then, you know, we'll have someone who's under suspicion and we keep our eye on him because then we can actually follow him all the way to get the big fish.
	You still with me?
	Yeah, I'm trying to keep up.
	Okay.
	So, let me just find the...
	Now I've lost my place in the transcript, damn it.
	So the point you're trying to make is that something that you've been using to try to piece together this part of the story was on C-SPAN. It had a video clip and a transcript.
	Both are missing now.
	They're completely taken down for some unknown reason.
	But you found a backup transcript on this crazy government site.
	Okay, here it is.
	Okay.
	Representative Thompson says, okay, so alright, so he has a visa.
	So what does he do?
	In the process, does it revoke the visa?
	Does it?
	Mr.
	Kennedy interrupts.
	We, as I mentioned in my statement, Mr.
	Chairman, if we unilaterally revoked a visa, and there was a case recently up, we have a request from a law enforcement agency to not revoke the visa.
	We came across information.
	We said this is a dangerous person.
	We are ready to revoke the visa.
	We then went to the community and said, should we revoke this visa?
	And one of the members, and we'd be glad to give that out of in private, said, please do not revoke this visa.
	We have eyes on this person.
	We are following this person who has the visa for the purpose of trying to roll up an entire network, not just one person.
	So, and here's another piece.
	Representative McCall says, I mean, the cable I just read makes it pretty clear that this man is associated with extremists in Yemen and you didn't revoke his visa.
	Mr.
	Kennedy says, that it was, sir, is his father said he was associated with this.
	And so we then ask the intelligence and law enforcement communities if they'd rather have any other information.
	I don't want to take too much of your time.
	I'd be glad to visit with you afterwards.
	So essentially, and it's hard, the transcripts are hard because people speak weirdly and it doesn't read back very well.
	But essentially, they called, so they knew the guy was bad, they knew that he was on a list, they were following him, they say we should revoke his visa, and then someone in the intelligence community said, no, let the guy on the plane!
	Let the guy on the plane!
	And this is like a huge news story.
	It was on Capitol Hill.
	It was live on C-SPAN. The archives are gone.
	You have to go to some crazy site to go and find the actual transcript.
	And no one's reporting on this, that the intelligence community let the crotch bomber on the plane.
	Yeah.
	How does that work?
	No, not apparently.
	Definitely.
	And Patrick Kennedy only wants to tell the committee in private which member of the community asked them to let the guy on the plane and not revoke his visa.
	And no one's following up on this.
	Nobody.
	And if I had the time...
	Have you ever done a Freedom of Information request, John?
	No, I know people who have.
	It takes forever.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	We won't get anything.
	They'll just redact everything if this is an ongoing case, which I believe it probably is.
	There's something fishy about the whole thing besides the person filming it and the fact that the bomb didn't go off.
	They even had a bomb on them to begin with.
	And the whole thing is sketchy.
	And then the FBI reading him his rights and that becoming a big scandal for some reason.
	They talked to him for 55 minutes and then read him his rights after he tried to bomb the place?
	Does that make any sense?
	So, listeners slash producers out there, you can help, A, by trying to locate this missing video.
	I can't find it in the archives.
	It's nowhere.
	It's gone.
	Apparently, it just vanished from the face of the earth.
	No news outlets are reporting on it.
	Obviously, we have our theories as to why this whole crotch bomber thing took place.
	One of them is to get the swabbing machines and the naked scanners in.
	Well, that worked.
	Yeah, that absolutely worked.
	And you can also help by donating to the program so we can have more time.
	If we could actually quit some jobs and spend more time on it, that would help.
	Yeah, actually, let me mention a few people that did donate, because there's a lot of messages this week.
	Yeah, I got a couple myself.
	Greg Steerly, Santa Monica 5555.
	Please mention, he's donated on behalf of ShirleyLee.com.
	That's S-H-I-R-L-E-Y-L-Y.com.
	Los Angeles photographer.
	Check out her stuff, he says.
	Uh...
	$50 from Spencer Shoemaker of North Carolina says, Hey guys, I love this show even though I'm furious, but some of the time listening to all the crooks that run our world.
	I recently graduated from Penn State, and now that I'm employed, I'll become a more regular donor and recurring five bucks, blah, blah, blah.
	Penn State is having their yearly dance marathon this coming weekend.
	It's the largest student-run philanthropy organization in the world and raised over $7 million last year for the fight against childhood cancer.
	I was involved when I was a student, and he says, give a plug to www.thon.org, which is obviously short for Marathon.
	So anybody out there who wants to check that out, thon.org.
	$50 from Lawrence Royk, who gave us some money to our other project, which is the founding producers of the No Agenda Stream, Parts Unknown.
	Jason Goff, or Go, G-O-U-G-H. Goff in San Francisco.
	He's in London.
	David Spickett in Leeds, UK. No TV. He says he's not taking out the TV license in the UK. He'd rather send us the money.
	Wow, that's 151 pounds a year.
	That's a big deal.
	It's a rip-off.
	It's a total rip-off.
	Top Gear is good, but it's not worth 151 pounds.
	No.
	5555, another palindrome from Benjamin Ross in Placentia, California, who says, Please mention that I'm calling out Jose Fontao, F-O-N-T-A-O, to donate to the show, too.
	Until then, you can call him a douchebag, or the D word on the show.
	I hope I start a trend of listeners calling each other out to donate.
	Douchebag!
	I like that.
	That's a very good trend.
	Call each other out for not donating.
	I like that.
	$53.33 from Trevor Chapman in Ontario.
	$58 from Kristen Nicole in Washington, D.C., who says, another long note.
	I think you guys need to follow the money on the cap-and-trade issue if Obama institutes an executive order for cap-and-trade, which we suspect he will.
	We discussed that ad nauseum on the last show.
	Last show, yeah.
	We won't see the green police with solar and wind farms popping up everywhere, but the oil companies will make billions of dollars trading credits through their CCS projects, carbon capture and sequestration storage, I just read an article by Jeffrey Sachs.
	He is the D-word at the Earth Institute at Columbia, and he calls for large-scale capture technologies.
	And on February 3rd, Obama created a carbon capture and storage task force.
	Exxon and HP are investing millions in CCS, which is the term for it, carbon capture and sequestration.
	Because they can pressure the oil reservoirs to force the last little bits of petroleum up to the surface using the CO2. They pump it in.
	And then they get credits and make money.
	This whole thing looks to be a complete scam, according to Kristen Nicole in Washington, D.C., which we will, by the way, I think she's on to something here, so we'll follow up.
	And then we also want to thank our, you know, Tracy, Suzanne Tacey, and Luca Capodoro, and...
	Steven Palsmacher on behalf of the separator and Matthew Hawking.
	Yes, and Suzanne Tassi, you got her?
	Yeah.
	Also, I'd like to thank Nick, who has put up a lo-fi version of the stream.
	Oh, somebody did that.
	Yeah, because now we're broadcasting in high fidelity at 64 kilobits per second, which is just about what I can handle on a hotel connection.
	Noagendastream.mobi now has a 24 kilobit per second connection, which will work well for those of you listening to us on 3G.
	And we have a number of apps, which you can all find in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	Apps for the iPhone, apps for Android, that's a Google phone, and apps for your BlackBerry.
	And now you can just apparently go to noagendastream.mobi, and it just opens right up.
	It should open up your player, and you can get a lo-fi version of the stream. - I'd like to mention one more thing, Rory Stone, who gives to us quite a bit, gave us a small donation, but he wants us to plug his website, rorystone.com, and he's interested in the civil war that will erupt eventually in the EU. I think that we're pretty close.
	Let's just wrap up the donations for a moment.
	So please, when you give a larger amount, if you're being called out by your fellow listeners, if you're being called out as the D word, also consider joining one of our monthly programs.
	We have them for...
	Do you have the $33 a month up yet?
	No, we have $30.
	Yeah, I think you need to do $33, $33.
	Okay, I'll change the $30 to $33.
	Do $33.33.
	I'll change to $33.33.
	Thank you.
	Per month, because that's the base, and then in a couple of years, we actually will have enough to do this full-time, although we're not, I mean, we need more listeners.
	If you can't donate money, that really would help if you turn more people on to the show.
	We obviously are in a growth market, but there's a lot of people who are getting caught on, you know, like the Fox stuff.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like they think that that's the real news.
	Yeah, no, we have to be...
	Well, one of the things we do on this show, and that's why we recommend you...
	By the way, we're not always right.
	I think we're right so much, though, it's kind of surprising.
	But just by, you know, it's so easy to get caught up in failing to see that there's propaganda at all levels of media.
	And we don't have any reason to do propaganda.
	We essentially, all we want to do is not be propagandized, too.
	And so we do our deconstruction.
	We look and...
	Deeper into the story than most people do.
	We obviously don't cover everything.
	Somebody was complaining the other day about something, which we may cover today or not.
	It's impossible to cover everything with only two shows a week.
	It's just not possible to get it all.
	Well, if we did five shows a week, it would be impossible.
	There's way too much stuff going on.
	We try to look for the major trends that are going to impact you in some negative way, or impact us.
	Actually, we're doing this as much for ourselves as we are for the listeners.
	And, you know, so we need some help.
	NoagendaShow.com at Dvorak.org slash NA and ChannelDvorak.com slash NA for you in Russia that can't get on the other sites.
	And China as well.
	Yeah, China's got issues.
	Well, nobody in China listens to this show.
	We have virtually no listeners in China or India.
	And France.
	Well, France...
	We have a couple, but they never donate.
	Do they donate from France?
	No, they never have anything from France.
	I don't think so.
	So, in Pennsylvania, and I'm sure you blogged this, a class action lawsuit was filed late yesterday in federal court in Philadelphia.
	So, the school, the Lower Marion School District...
	I guess they handed out laptops to 1,800 students in the school district's two high schools, Harriet High School in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, and the Lower Marion High School in Ardmore, PA. And this was a pretty good idea, right?
	You give laptops to the kids, and these were all through state and federal grants, and the kids can then, you know, it's great.
	Kids can use their laptops, and they can do the homework.
	And then one of these kids gets, you know, the parents get called into school on November 11th.
	Plaintiffs were for the first time informed of the above-mentioned capability, namely that the school can use the built-in webcams to spy on the students.
	At home.
	At home.
	One of the plaintiffs was engaged in improper behavior in his home.
	Ah.
	And cite it as evidence.
	You can only imagine what that means.
	Yeah.
	They showed a photograph from the webcam embedded in this kid's laptop issued by the school district.
	I mean, can it get any crazier?
	I love this one.
	Yeah, no, this got lawsuit written all over it.
	But do you think this will get any real mainstream reporting?
	It probably will.
	It's getting a lot of attention.
	Yeah, it probably will.
	Because it's so outrageous.
	They've gone way too far.
	You know, you have to do, you know, the thing is, what only works with this kind of slow-growing Nazi or fascism is it has to be, you know, baby steps.
	You know, the kind of slow pace.
	Yeah, this is too fast.
	They're moving too fast.
	Yeah, this is jumping ahead.
	Way ahead.
	That's jumping.
	That's five years from now.
	It's jumping.
	Yeah, you guys are ahead of the program.
	What are you thinking, you bastards?
	Slow down on that.
	By the way, at the Mevio offices, I've got two monitors, one that's on an iMac and the other one that's a ViewSonic, and there's a high-end ViewSonic.
	Both of them have cameras on them, and I have black tape.
	Oh, over the cameras?
	For the camera holes.
	Really?
	You're so paranoid.
	In any environment like that, I will black tape the camera holes.
	I do not trust these cameras on many of these computers.
	Who do you think is going to be looking at you?
	Me?
	No?
	I don't know.
	The NSA, perhaps.
	I have no idea.
	All I know is that they're not looking at anything because I got black tape.
	Gaffer's tape, by the way.
	No wonder I had trouble Skyping you.
	I thought your video wasn't working.
	Yeah, there you have it.
	Just don't do anything inappropriate, kids.
	That's what it's all about.
	In your home.
	Especially with the camera pointed at you.
	In your room.
	In your room.
	Your room.
	Oh, boy.
	How embarrassing.
	But you're right.
	They jumped the shark.
	This is coming, of course.
	This is the way it's going to go.
	And, you know, there's been rumors for a long time that Google already has this capability to flip on the webcam of your computer if you have any of the Google services.
	And it wouldn't surprise me.
	It just really wouldn't surprise me if they had it.
	Yeah, you could probably flip on the camera, disable the little red light or whatever it is on your camera that comes on, disable that, just turn the camera on, which will turn on the microphone too, and you can listen to what you guys are doing, and you can see what he's doing or whatever.
	I don't trust these things.
	There was a report, I should look it up, it was a while ago, that Google announced they had some technology that they could display advertising based upon the ambient noise in the house.
	You know, so if they heard kids and they would display, you know, like diaper ads.
	And, you know, it's not hard to do when you think about it.
	No, it's easy.
	It's a connected world.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's time for a new internet.
	Internet.
	Ubernet.
	Unternet.
	Yeah.
	You'll make it worse.
	Yeah, probably.
	Things do not improve.
	So, just briefly, we need to talk about the European Union, because this has now become a great example of what is going to happen here.
	Now, ever since the Lisbon Treaty got signed, we now speak of the United States of Europe, and all of these, what used to be known as countries, are now known as member states.
	And, of course, two and a half years ago, I was reading the Lisbon Treaty.
	I read all of the side notes and the protocols and all the things about the European Army.
	Basically, it was the original European Constitution that was voted down by the Dutch and the French, and then they ramrodded it through.
	No one got to vote on it.
	The Brits were guaranteed a referendum on it.
	It never happened.
	And now, of course, there's a couple of things that are happening.
	What started as a handy little way not to have to exchange your money when going to another country, now your member states are all part of this big organization, and we've got this Starfleet command who are basically calling the shots and making the rules.
	So there's a financial meltdown taking place.
	And at the center of this is Goldman Sachs.
	There is just no doubt about it.
	We didn't really talk about it on the last show.
	But Greece, of course, as we now know, it's come to light that they have a 13% deficit.
	And it's supposed to be no more than three.
	And the reports, which you can find all this information in the show notes at noagendashow.com, are showing that Goldman Sachs worked on a currency swap with them to essentially keep this deficit off the books.
	So it's a financial trick.
	Which, by the way, the United Kingdom has also done this with Goldman Sachs.
	And you'll find out that Italy probably did the same thing with Goldman Sachs.
	I just want to remind you, Goldman Sachs, the guys we bailed out.
	Yeah, the guys that we busted out Lehman and Bear Stearns killed them.
	And so Goldman Sachs is standalone.
	But now it turns out that they're also hedging against...
	All of these countries.
	So this is exactly what they did with the housing bubble, where their own clients, they were saying, hey, yeah, jump on these CDOs.
	This is good stuff.
	Yeah, these mortgage-backed securities.
	This is a classic Wall Street gambit.
	Exactly.
	So they helped all these countries hide their debts, their deficits, put it off the books.
	Meanwhile, they're hedging against this sovereign debt.
	Shorting it.
	Yeah, they're shorting it.
	They're going to clean up They're going to clean up.
	I wish we were working for Goldman Sachs.
	We'd be making more money.
	We'd be making a lot more money.
	Even if we were just doing the dishes over there.
	The secretaries make $2 million a year.
	I'm telling you.
	But now check this out.
	This I love.
	So you're Greece, right?
	You're the old world.
	You started the Olympic Games, right?
	You started all this stuff.
	You were a part of...
	Established country.
	I mean, Aristotle.
	Plato.
	Plato.
	Like dudes who were at the foundation of civilization.
	And now, if Athens does not comply with austerity demands, and I guess that means...
	What does that mean, austerity demands?
	It means stop spending money and get your act together.
	Right.
	Which, of course, is impossible to shore that up by March 16th.
	It's impossible to do it anywhere.
	They will lose control over its tax and spend policies and will not be allowed to vote...
	In the European Union, under Article 126.9 of the Lisbon Treaty, they take away their rights to be a part of the EU. Is that the same as kicking them out?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It's like a censure.
	It's like you're not allowed to do...
	It's like sit on the punishment bench, stand in the corner with a dunce hat on.
	They will not be allowed to vote.
	It's like, okay, and so what's next?
	Well, what's next is Spain won't be allowed to vote, then Italy, then Portugal.
	Pretty soon nobody will be allowed to vote because everybody screws up once in a while, except the Germans and the French.
	Exactly.
	And this is the total takeover.
	This is the takeover.
	I thought it would happen here first.
	This is what Hitler couldn't do.
	Yeah, because he tried it with force.
	And you have to be much smarter.
	You need to pacify the people into idiocy.
	So I hate to say it.
	I hate to use the R word in vain, but we've turned the population into retards.
	Keep them watching dumb television.
	And then meanwhile, just take everything from them.
	Everything.
	Including their right to vote.
	It was already moved over to Brussels, and now you can't even vote in Brussels.
	This is crazy.
	This is absolutely...
	And no one...
	Well, the Greek are standing up.
	You're not really seeing that on television, of course.
	No, they're not going to show anything on television.
	Apparently there's riots going on that are underreported.
	I know we have listeners in Greece.
	I sure hope we do.
	Please, we need information.
	We need to know what's going on.
	Oh, by the way, the EU has opened up 54 embassies around the world.
	Oh, I didn't know this.
	Yeah, you no longer go to the Portuguese embassy.
	You go to the European Union embassy.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, dude, they got that Lisbon Treaty signed and bang, they were in.
	Let's see.
	Eight of the 54 embassies of the UK are located in Europe.
	Armenia, Georgia, Macedonia, Moldova, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and Ukraine.
	Twelve others are located in Asia and the Pacific.
	Afghanistan, of course.
	Australia, China, East Timor, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia.
	What?
	What about ours?
	USA. There isn't one here yet.
	Oh, so in other words, wait a minute, let me get this straight.
	They have an open one here so they can keep us believing that Spain has its own embassy, which it does.
	France has its own embassy, which it does.
	The UK has an embassy and a council that they have one in San Francisco.
	But in fact, these things are just shams for what's really going to be, they're all going to be eventually shut down in favor of an EU embassy.
	Yeah.
	Essentially, these ones are nothing more than places to get visas or to get tourist information.
	They're actually the tourist department in the guise of an embassy?
	Correct.
	That's absolutely correct.
	Well, that's going to be very disappointing for Americans who like to be ambassadors to France or England or Belgium.
	Well, I wonder what they're going to do.
	If they're just going to have one EU ambassador?
	Well, you know, that would make sense.
	You've got to pare it down.
	They've got to do this over time, though.
	You just can't jump into that because it would freak the USA out.
	It would freak us out.
	I think they're moving really fast.
	What I believe is happening, John, is that there's a lot of noise out there.
	Of course, they can't control the internet.
	They're desperately trying to.
	That's the thing they have to move slow on.
	And they're gaining ground, no doubt about it.
	France now just passed laws.
	They can completely shut you down for any reason whatsoever.
	They can basically make it illegal for you to have an internet connection.
	Yeah, I'll just accuse you three times of intellectual property or whatever.
	Of anything.
	And then you're gone.
	So they've got to move swiftly because these guys...
	I think that what's happened, and it's a good thing because we still stand a fighting chance, is that this has been going on for a long time.
	This is generations of evil have been setting this up.
	And this generation is saying, hey man, I'm like 50 years old.
	I want to benefit from this takedown we've been working on.
	Let's move it along.
	But I think that's a mistake.
	That's a strategic mistake because of greed and people won't stand for it.
	I don't know what we're going to do about it, but people are not going to take it.
	Maybe we can be saved by Goldman Sachs.
	You never know.
	No, I'm telling you who's going to save us.
	It is the No Agenda Militia.
	It is, as they self-proclaim, No Agenda Militia.
	It is the sysadmins.
	It is the Unix admins.
	It is the network admins.
	These are the people that will keep our shows on the air, our websites running, create proxies and router rounds.
	If necessary, we'll mesh all of our Wi-Fi networks.
	They're the ones that are going to save it.
	These people have civility and integrity.
	These are the people you can't just buy guys like that.
	You just can't.
	You know how admins have so much power when it comes to passwords and being able to get into anything?
	If you've ever done this, when you sit down next to an admin and he sets up an account for you and he says, okay, enter your password, what does the admin always do?
	Even though he could find your password, break into your account, he always turns his head and Looks away so that you know that he is not looking at you and to your password because it's like a vow of silence.
	It's a vow of secrecy and they mean it.
	Of course there's always some bad apples, but in general these guys mean it and they will be our saviors.
	So hug your sis admin today.
	Give him a big fat tongue kiss.
	He deserves it.
	I don't know about the tongue kiss, but these guys are, yeah.
	Well, you know, you can still just shut down the whole thing.
	You have the same guys on the evil side of evil that can work the system.
	They could, you know, do all kinds of filtering.
	But it'll be our guys against their guys, and we've got more with integrity on our side.
	Yeah, I know, but the public, look at what the public buys into.
	They're not listening to this show.
	They're listening to Fox, and they're listening to the slow brainwashing that goes on there.
	And, I mean, they're listening to watching, you know, the...
	All-Star Game.
	They're watching football, or they're watching downhill skiing, or they're listening to the crappy news reports that they get.
	And that's the majority of people.
	Well, yeah, but hold on a second.
	But let me tell you, it's stuff like this Russian hacker did the other day that is going to get people's attention, and this is the things they need to do, because we do have to start some illegal action.
	In Moscow, a hacker broke into the traffic sign system and played a two-minute porn video.
	What did that accomplish?
	It gets people's attention.
	It shows that we can do it, and now the next thing, we need to start creating great video, short form, that we can give to the hackers so they can put it up on screens all across Gitmo Nation.
	I'm trying to get some people to put some stickers up at the toll booth.
	It's your limited thinking.
	This is the whole point.
	Stickers are no good.
	We need to have noagendershow.com beaming across all traffic signs state to state worldwide.
	This is what I want.
	It won't happen, John.
	We could just claim we don't know what's going on.
	I don't know.
	We just got crazy fans.
	Yeah, well we could do that when we have some real crazy fans.
	I'll tell you what, hackers of the world, hackers of the world, I will share all of my hookers and blow with you if you put noagendashow.com onto a traffic sign.
	All my hookers and blow.
	All of it.
	I'm telling you, you know what, you can have my hookers first and snort my blow first.
	Well, I think noagendashow.com on a traffic sign would get some attention.
	It would be a hoot.
	We would double our audience pretty quickly as the news organization asks us, how did that happen?
	It would be beautiful.
	That's all I'm asking for.
	We were just joking about it, by the way, but somebody decided to take it seriously.
	It's kind of a fun show if you listen to it in the No Agenda show.
	It's a fun show to listen to, but we joke around about stuff like this, and we suggested it casually on the air, and so somebody decided to do it.
	I actually don't approve.
	I am against it.
	But they did it anyway because they thought it was a great idea on their own because people think for themselves, people that listen to our show.
	Exactly.
	That's my spiel when the KRON news team comes over to the house.
	That's what I'm going to say, too.
	I'm going to say that's what she said.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm not saying you should do anything illegal, but there's hookers and blow at the watchtower for you.
	I can just see Mickey now and went, oh shit, I better make some calls.
	Gotta get some of the hookers lined up.
	Gotta get the hookers in.
	I think there's a few of them down in L.A., by the way, and they're pretty good looking.
	Yeah.
	Dude, I'm telling you, we'll have a partay!
	Partay!
	That will be the way to go.
	Anyway, so that's my rant on sysadmins.
	Tongue kiss your sysadmin today.
	He or she, by the way, deserves it.
	So we've got a bunch of things we're obviously not going to get to.
	One, I want to get back to the, at some point, I want to get back to the pot wars.
	Oh, I had a heroin war thing.
	Well, the pot wars are one thing.
	Another thing, there's a Corvette lady was griping on one of the comment posts that we never discussed the Supreme Court decision about the corporation being able to throw money at it.
	We've discussed it many times.
	Well, we did.
	That's what I was going to say, Dad.
	But the other thing I was arguing with my wife about this, she was going on and on about how, well, it's a bad thing.
	I said, do you think, let's say the corporations are giving free reign to spend as much money as they want on politics.
	Do you think anything is going to change?
	Do you think they haven't already bypassed the system?
	This just makes it a little easier for them.
	There's not going to be any difference.
	So the argument is moot.
	They already spend as much money as they want.
	They just do it in funny ways.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's true.
	There's the...
	They're just making it easier.
	Right.
	There's also an interesting story that's floating around about Roger Ebert keeps getting a takedown notice.
	Poor Roger's like, you know, in bad shape physically.
	And he did this tribute to Gene Siskel.
	And Disney keeps taking it down wherever it gets posted because I guess it's got some sort of Disney, a picture of Disney content or whatever.
	And that's a big scandal.
	And I just want to put this thought out there.
	Who's the largest shareholder of Disney that could put a stop to this instantly?
	Right.
	Two jobs.
	Oh, that's right.
	Is he the largest shareholder?
	Is that true?
	Is he the largest shareholder now?
	He is the largest shareholder of Disney.
	He has all the power at Disney.
	He can put a stop to this with one phone call.
	So people should jump on him.
	I didn't even think that's because of the Pixar acquisition.
	Yeah.
	Save the company, basically.
	And then we still have a bunch of clips, by the way.
	So I'm watching this Obama news conference yesterday, and he's talking about, you know, nothing.
	And then Republicans respond.
	Oh, one of those.
	He's talking about nothing.
	But Biden is standing next to him, and can somebody tell me what happened here?
	Biden looks like he had a hole drilled into his forehead.
	No, that was Ash Wednesday.
	Hello?
	It was Ash Wednesday?
	Yeah, that's...
	I thought Ash...
	When is Easter?
	No, everyone in San Francisco...
	I saw lots of people in San Francisco walking around with Ash on their head yesterday.
	But isn't Ash Wednesday the Wednesday before Easter?
	What do I look like?
	A priest?
	I don't know.
	The smudge.
	Yeah, it's a big smudge.
	I used to be a Catholic kid.
	Well, didn't you have a smudge on your head?
	Oh yeah, everybody walked around with a smudge.
	It felt kind of like an Indian.
	What is the genesis of the smudge?
	I forgot.
	You know, I knew and I don't remember.
	It was like a big deal to walk around.
	I think it's kind of a meaningless symbolism.
	Ash Wednesday.
	It was Ash Wednesday, I'm pretty sure.
	Well, I was wondering, because it looked at me, because he had a really dopey look on his head.
	I can't believe of all people that you would not catch that as it being Ash Wednesday.
	Well, I thought about it, but I'm thinking of the date.
	I don't remember Ash Wednesday.
	It's Lent.
	First thing I thought about, I don't remember an Ash Wednesday in my life being in February.
	Well, it's six weeks to Easter, right?
	Is that what it is?
	I'm just reading the chat room.
	I'm just reading the chat room.
	Whatever the case was, all I know is he looked like he was out of it and he had a hole drilled in his brain.
	Well, that could have been file footage.
	Okay.
	He was out of it and had a hole drilled into his head.
	Great.
	That really helps the credibility, John.
	Excellent.
	Just saying.
	And you know what?
	You can take that to the bank.
	Banks.
	It really helps.
	It helps our donations.
	Thework.org slash NA. You can berate me in the comment.
	Yeah, it's fun.
	So one of the things we've got here is clip number, and the part that's clip two, since we're getting to the end of the show, I want to play a part of this, but I would like you to play this at the end of the show, because it's way too long to play the whole clip.
	Okay.
	Apparently, this was on Rosie Radio.
	This is going all over the net.
	Oh, you know, okay, we'll put that, yeah, it's good it's at the end of the show.
	With, what's your face?
	Garofalo.
	Ugh.
	Yeah.
	And it is hilarious.
	And of course, if you read about it from the left and the right, the right would say, this woman is a lunatic.
	But we at least have to play the beginning of it where she talks about dead reckoning.
	What's the name of the clip?
	STE28. Oh, you want me to play the beginning of that clip now?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	So people can get a feeling for it, so they get to hear the whole thing later.
	She's anti-intellectual.
	I have no idea if she's book smart or not.
	No.
	But it's clear to me that she is anti-intellectual.
	She is not a particularly compassionate person.
	Sure, she can.
	Right, from The View.
	Who is hot, by the way?
	She's pretty.
	No, she's smoking.
	Smoking.
	She's a good-looking woman.
	If the person reminds her of herself.
	Right.
	And her...
	What is this on, by the way?
	Is this SiriusXM?
	It's either SiriusXM or it's just streamed over the internet off of Rosie's site.
	Rosie Radio in the morning!
	Her ridiculous take on religion, which is not about being inclusive, not about giving of oneself.
	You know, she prefers the punishing god and the...
	Right, not a very pious...
	No, no, no.
	It's because she's just a very limited person.
	She's got a lot of limitations, as most people of that mindset do.
	It's a mindset that unfortunately, I don't know if it's nature or nurture or both.
	I don't know if you're born that way or you're made that way.
	When it happens, when that switch is flipped on, maybe in adolescence, or something happens to you, I don't know what makes one a Rush Limbaugh fan.
	How do you get there?
	And how is it that he's able to be a junkie, literally, and sort of still have reverence, respect, and be heritable as the leader of these, you know...
	Well, look who he's talking to!
	I know!
	This is so unbelievable.
	The hate that I hear in these women's voices.
	Oh, it's unbelievable.
	I agree.
	I mean, it's one thing...
	Garofalo in particular is seething.
	Yeah, there's smoke coming out of her ears.
	They do say one thing in this clip that I found interesting and I'd like to have somebody confirm or unconfirm it.
	At least Rosie says this.
	What about...
	Sorry?
	No, go ahead.
	Rosie makes the claim that Hasselbeck, before each show, when Rosie was the host, had an operative from the Republican Party come into her dressing room and brief her for a half an hour before she'd come out.
	That must be near the end of the clip, because I watched it this morning.
	No, no, that's actually probably going to come up before they get to the dead reckoning thing.
	The dead reckoning thing, by the way, is the funniest ever because as an aviator, as an airman, of course I know what dead reckoning is, and she starts off by saying, dead reckoning is a term used in nautical law.
	I'm like, okay.
	Maritime law.
	Maritime law.
	Yeah, that's what I checked out.
	I'm like, okay.
	Maritime law.
	I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that.
	All right.
	I hope she says this thing about the Hasselbeck briefing.
	But those are the kind of people who, if it was a junkie, right, what?
	Because he buys the Oxycontin from a doctor?
	True, but it's very elastic, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	It's always a double standard.
	Right.
	When it comes to right-wingers, whatever works for them works.
	You heard of a term called dead reckoning?
	It's a navigation.
	See, it's not in there.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Let's listen to that first beginning.
	I want to hear the dead reckoning.
	It's a navigational term used in maritime law.
	It works.
	You heard of a term called dead reckoning?
	It's a navigational term usually used in maritime law.
	Oh!
	You can hear the rest of this at the end of the show, but I want to mention something.
	She says that dead reckoning is usually when you're lost.
	You can't find your way around you.
	It's not true.
	That's so not true.
	It's not true.
	I have a better story than you're going to come up with right away.
	Listen to this.
	I had an ETAC In a car I used to own, an ETAC predates the GPS system.
	It was done by an inventor, Nolan Bushnell's company.
	And it was a dead reckoning computer in the car that was used for navigation.
	This thing was oftentimes more on the money than the early GPS things that were off a block.
	Sure, dead reckoning.
	Once you have a fix and you know where you are, then you basically set your course and that's dead reckoning.
	It's that simple.
	You just need one fix, which you can do with a sextant, but you can basically hit it with a compass, and then there's a couple of things you've got to do to adjust for the curvature of the earth, etc., but you can dead reckon, and you can pretty much wind up where you want to be.
	You're trained as an aviator to be able to do that.
	Yeah, and this e-tech, by the way, in the car...
	And we're talking about using it to go to garage sales in the Berkeley Hills, which is a mess of winding roads.
	You would nail it.
	Yeah.
	So she's just full of crap, this woman.
	You know I have a solution for women like this.
	I told you in the car yesterday what would fix her.
	Both of them.
	God, please.
	Okay, I won't mention it.
	But I have a fix for that.
	Yeah.
	Just come to Uncle Adam's house.
	I'll fix you up.
	You'll have no more hate.
	I know exactly what I'm going to do.
	I got some Liz Cheney clips, by the way.
	We don't do them on this show.
	We're going to do them on Sunday.
	I want to mention to people that I think Liz Cheney...
	It is a setup for something.
	I'm not sure what it is.
	She's getting way too much press.
	She's getting on the show.
	She's extremely smart and quick-witted.
	She makes Sarah Palin look...
	I mean, the difference between her and Sarah Palin in terms of their...
	Interesting.
	Let's do that.
	I do have a couple things I'd like to hit before the end of the show, but I'd like to hear your Liz Cheney.
	Now, Liz Cheney is...
	I've got two Liz Cheney clips.
	Is she the daughter or the wife of Dick Cheney?
	She's the lesbian daughter of Dick Cheney.
	Why do you have to use the L word, John?
	Is it necessary?
	Just so people get a clue that it's okay, it's fine to be a lesbian.
	I've got nothing about it.
	She talks about the crotch bomber here with a couple of interesting points.
	The first clip is Liz Cheney on the New York Times.
	And this is a piece of disinformation.
	I consider it either disinformation or she doesn't understand what's going on.
	With the New York Times, which is an outlet, really, it's kind of the mouthpiece for the CIA, and everybody knows it.
	Next slide is Liz Cheney, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and daughter of Vice President Cheney.
	Liz, nice to see you, and it's sort of as I listen to the big news tonight that we might have gotten the number two in Taliban, at least it's been reported number two, and I watched the two dueling vice presidents, I think to myself, how much does the media try to create these duels, these fights between two men who obviously care about their country, and how much is legitimate news gathering?
	Well, I think that clearly the whole dueling concept is something that the media helps to feed.
	I think the White House, when they heard that Vice President Cheney was going to be out, immediately rushed to put Vice President Biden out.
	But these are really important issues, and issues where the stakes are very high for the nation.
	I think that this news that we've just heard from Afghanistan is good news if it's true.
	I think it's very good news, obviously.
	I think it's troubling that the New York Times broke the story.
	I'm always suspicious.
	The New York Times does not have a good record in terms of being responsible about keeping information secret that should be kept secret that comes into their possession.
	But it is good news.
	It tells you, it reminds us once again, though, that we are at war with an enemy determined to kill us.
	Well, as I understand, the reason the New York Times finally did go public with this is because it's all over Pakistan they know about this now.
	Geographically, we're sort of the last to know.
	They've always got a reason why they go public.
	We'll hear about it probably tomorrow.
	That's good enough.
	It's almost over.
	I like your theory, John.
	As we know, it's very easy for the elites, through their Wall Street financial connections, to get anyone into the presidency.
	Take, for example, George Bush.
	Who was son of the evil George Bush, the other evil George Bush.
	They got him in.
	So why wouldn't they take Liz Cheney?
	She's perfect.
	She looks pretty.
	She's very well spoken.
	She's very smart.
	She has all the talking points down.
	She's hammering against her dad's enemies.
	You know, if you re-listen to this clip, she has a lot of interesting, subtle, propagandistic techniques that she likes to throw in.
	She just throws in, out of the blue, near the end, about how they captured the guy, and she says, it reminds us why we are at war.
	How does this remind us why we're at war?
	They got some guy in the middle of nowhere, Pakistan, and killed him or grabbed him.
	This doesn't remind us of anything, but she throws that in, so it's a meme.
	Reminds us why we're at war with who?
	With the Pakistan Taliban?
	It just hit me.
	It just hit me.
	We're going to see a 2012 presidential race between Sarah Palin and Liz Cheney.
	It's going to be a smoking hot throwdown.
	And we'll all have our hands in our pants going, I don't care which one wins.
	They're both hot.
	I kind of like the lesbian better.
	Maybe she got some hot video.
	This is how stupid we are.
	I'm telling you, we got a throwdown.
	Cat fight, hot Liz with hot Sarah.
	Well, Liz is doing a lot.
	She's getting on a lot of committees.
	She's doing a lot of stuff to give herself some credibility to do something like that.
	But let's play the second clip, which is Liz Cheney on the Crotch Bomber.
	...of Homeland Security, Napolitano, who gave a White House briefing in early January on this matter, and they both said they were surprised that al-Qaeda in Yemen was operational, and Napolitano said she was surprised that al-Qaeda would send individuals to attack us.
	I mean, those are two statements that you would frankly know if you were just reading a newspaper, not to be surprised by those things.
	I think there's a real question of competence here.
	Wow.
	The president may not be well served, but at the end of the day, he's the president, and he's been the president for over a year now, and he hasn't held anybody accountable for what happened on Christmas Day.
	It's his responsibility to do that.
	Oh, so she's saying fire Napolitano.
	Yeah, well, they're going after Brennan and Napolitano both.
	If you start listening to Fox, just the Brennan thing is the one that just still kind of baffles me, because what did he do?
	Hey, I have disappointing news from the chatroom, John.
	Apparently, Liz is not the lesbian, but Mary is the lesbian.
	Oh, okay.
	Liz has five kids.
	Damn.
	Well, you know, just looking at her.
	She has kind of that Marissa Meyer from Google look about her.
	Okay, you're right.
	Yeah, no, Mary, Mary.
	Yeah, what am I thinking?
	Yeah, really?
	See, you invoked the L word unnecessarily.
	You got me all excited.
	Well, that's because Liz, lesbian, lesbian, lesbian, les.
	She'll be the lesbian, but by the end of the campaign, she'll be a lesbian, too.
	Don't worry about it.
	We'll fix that.
	We'll fix that in the talking points.
	Okay, so she's not a lesbian, but she's a fast-talking Cheney, and she's being primed for something.
	There's a big future ahead for her.
	Yes, there is, and I think she needs some senatorship or something in the interim.
	Could she get something real quick in this next election?
	Could she be up for something?
	Can we jam her in somewhere?
	I think it's a little too late unless they can get her to Indiana so she can run her to buy his seat.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think they're going to be able to rush the job on her that much.
	She's showing up as a spokesperson for all kinds of stuff.
	She's all over the place.
	And of course she wouldn't be a lesbian because the Republicans would never elect one.
	But let me elect one that's open.
	There's so many things I could say right now.
	but let's not.
	There's a couple of things I just want to hit before we sign off.
	um The French are now providing aid to Haiti.
	230 million euros.
	That's reasonable.
	Announced by Monsieur Sacozy.
	Of course, they've had the Haitians under their thumb for decades as is.
	Were they still paying off debts to France, Haiti?
	I think so, right?
	I don't know.
	Anyway, just another example of...
	Shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity.
	Yeah.
	Um, then we have, We kind of lost...
	Maybe I should play the jingle here for a second, because we were off topic for a bit, but there are a couple of news stories in the category...
	Remember Ukraine?
	Oh, yeah.
	The crazy outbreak or whatever it was?
	Well, yeah.
	They had the black lung epidemic.
	So the numbers are in.
	The science is in.
	Over 1,000 people have died in Ukraine from the black lung epidemic.
	250,000 hospitalized.
	Of course, this was apparently not the swine flu, but it has Baxter written all over it.
	Baxter International.
	Maybe that was just the testing ground.
	But those are pretty big numbers.
	And also from France.
	And this, I guess, comes through a report from the World Health Organization because, of course, there's an expected second wave coming.
	Third wave, isn't it?
	Yeah, third wave.
	You know what?
	Why don't we just put the H1N1 vaccine in the seasonal vaccine?
	Just mix them all up.
	Just put them together into one.
	So it won't even be a separate shot now.
	If you go for the regular flu shot, Yeah, I'm baffled by the...
	Yeah.
	Baffled by what?
	Why they didn't do that in the first place.
	Well, baby steps, right?
	Baby steps.
	Little steps.
	I'm so disappointed that Liz Cheney's not the lesbian.
	You're still bummed out.
	All right.
	And then another piece of the puzzle.
	Wow, this is a great article.
	It's from the LA Times.
	Now, I just have to reiterate that we are pretty certain that the whole war in Afghanistan, a large portion of it at least, is to secure the poppy fields.
	To run the drugs into the West, into the United States, which partially funds Wall Street.
	The United Nations had their own internal report that says that drug money helped with the bailout of Wall Street.
	I should put that link in the show notes again just so you can reread it.
	And while you're at it, you might as well play the clip I have on Afghanistan Report, which just calmly talks about the poppy fields as though it's part of the news story.
	Sidewall right there.
	In the streets, troops found what one Marine described as death at every corner, booby traps and IEDs which were detonated throughout the day.
	While thousands of the 80,000 civilians who live in the area left ahead of the offensive, many others remained to tend poppy crops for their homes or found it too dangerous to leave after the Taliban mined the roads out of town.
	One poppy farmer wondered out loud when the fighting would end, and a young villager said the troops come to fight and then leave.
	So, yeah, oh yeah.
	It's just known.
	It's like we don't even make a big deal about it anymore.
	It's the poppy fields, man.
	What do you think we're there for?
	So anyway, so these poppies are then, I think they're being flown down to Mexico.
	Because now this report says farm boys from a tiny county that once depended on, ooh, you'll love this, sugar cane.
	Of course, we know that there's a crisis in sugar.
	I even have a report in the show notes that says that sugar production is down 63%.
	Wow.
	Yeah, so these farm boys, they got no more sugar cane to peddle.
	So they have, according to the LA Times, perfected an ingenious business model for selling a semi-processed form of Mexican heroin known as, John, black tar.
	Using convenient delivery by car and aggressive marketing, I love this, they have moved into cities and small towns across the United States, often creating demand for heroin where there was little or none.
	In many of those places, authorities report increases in overdoses and deaths.
	Yes, of course.
	So it's the Xalisco, that's the name of the county, with an X, Xalisco, Have brought an audacious entrepreneurial spirit to the heroin trade.
	Their success stems from both their product, which is cheaper and more potent than Colombian heroin, and their business model, which places a premium on customer convenience and satisfaction.
	Wow!
	Sounds like Nordstrom's.
	Yeah.
	Nordstrom's.
	They've got like frequent flyer cards.
	Users need not venture into dangerous neighborhoods for their fix.
	Instead, they phone in their orders and drivers take the drugs to them.
	Crew bosses sometimes call users after delivery to check on the quality of service.
	They encourage users to bring in new customers, rewarding them with free heroin if they do.
	And we're talking like, you know, 25 bucks a pop for black tar.
	So the article says it's almost like Walmart.
	We're going to keep our prices cheap and grow from there.
	It works!
	Rolling back prices on...
	I love it!
	So I'd say the whole distribution network is in place.
	We've got the sugar out of there.
	People use that when they can use a good chemical.
	Yeah, aspartame, which has been rebranded.
	So that's good.
	Actually, I have that, if you're interested, John, in the show notes.
	Here it is.
	Sugar output from imported raws down 63% same period last year.
	The problem is with the sugar is that even in Mexico, I mean, Mexican Coke...
	It has real sugar in it.
	Most of the stuff in Europe has real sugar in it.
	So to get into those markets, you have to, with corn syrup and the other crap, you have to kill sugar.
	Well, they're doing a good job.
	So 60% is a lot.
	Yeah.
	Well, I told you this is, you know, and part of it is weather, of course.
	I'm sure Monsanto has something to do with it.
	Someone's spraying something.
	And a nice little benefit is all these Mexican farm boys, they've got to make a living somehow.
	Hey, what's that big American military plane doing?
	Oh, they're offloading poppies.
	Or do you think they do the production in Afghanistan as well?
	No, they probably...
	In Mexico, where you can grow sugarcane and poppies would probably grow great next to each other.
	No, but I mean, they're harvested in Afghanistan, and then they're brought over to Mexico and probably processed there.
	No, I think they're growing in Mexico.
	Really?
	That would be my guess.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, then what are we going to do over in Afghanistan?
	Let's get out of there, then.
	All that goes to Europe.
	We don't get any of that stuff.
	That's the European tar.
	Yeah.
	Euro tar.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Somebody sent me an Italian version of We Are the World, which, even though it's from 2006, I just wanted to play a little bit of it.
	It's from a political satire show featuring Sarkozy and Bush.
	Have you seen this?
	No.
	Wait until the refrain.
	That's Bush.
	We try to make a better world for me and me.
	We fight the world.
	We fight the world.
	We fight the children.
	We fight the children.
	We fight the world, the forest and the sea.
	So let us join.
	Oh, I love it. - You can see the whole thing in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	We fucked the world.
	What a bunch of cynics out there.
	Oh, I love it.
	Well, in 2006, you could still do that.
	And then to show you how infantile the world has become, there was a bridge in Yorkshire, in Gitmo Nation East.
	I think it's Yorkshire.
	And...
	The bridge was called...
	I don't want to mess up the joke here.
	Hold on a second.
	No, this is poorly produced on my part.
	I'm sorry.
	Anyway, so there was this bridge that was renamed...
	Oh, yeah, it was the Tittlecott Bridge.
	And the residents are outraged because they want it...
	Change back to its original name and they don't feel that history should be changed.
	Meanwhile, the government is screwing them, killing their children by sending them to Afghanistan.
	And all people can be worried about is changing the plaque of the original name of this bridge, which was Ticklecock.
	And they want to change it to what?
	No, that's the original name.
	So why did they change it in the first place?
	Because it was politically incorrect.
	It's been that name forever.
	No, it's been Tittle Cot.
	Oh, and they want to change it to Tittlecock?
	No, the original name is Tittlecock.
	Yeah.
	Ticklecock.
	Just a crazy name from England.
	They have tons of stuff like that over there.
	I'm cutting this out of the show.
	And well, you should.
	Yeah, this will not be in the show.
	Alright.
	Kind of a dead end there.
	Yeah, that was no good.
	Let's bring in some lesbians.
	That always spices up the show.
	Well, I do have the one last clip, which is the Van Susteren competence rant, which again I think is again Liz Cheney.
	But in this particular clip, they name all the people that they're out to get fired as though, you know, I mean there's something, you know, I don't know if it's part of the CIA war or what, but the names keep cropping up over and over and over as though they're like the worst people in the world.
	Which clip is this?
	It says Van Susteren competence rent.
	I don't think I have that one.
	No, it's at the bottom.
	No.
	Just right under psychic.
	No.
	Really?
	I don't think so.
	Hold on.
	It wouldn't make sense because it said that it was sent to you.
	I've got the...
	Oh, I see what happened.
	Okay, I can play it from here.
	All right, here we go.
	Who's giving him this information?
	Or who's not giving him the right information?
	I think if you look at the team, Greta, over the last six or nine months, you know, Secretary Napolitano, Director Blair, you've got Eric Holder, and then you've got John Brennan.
	It is clear that they have not been working together as a team.
	There have been instances of incompetence, and the president needs to exert his leadership to make sure that he is incompetent.
	Right, so they're after him.
	Yeah, they're after Brennan.
	That wasn't obviously Liz Cheney.
	No.
	Although it could have been.
	But that was the laundry list of the people they're after.
	They're out to get.
	The Republicans are out to get.
	For some reason, I don't know what the deal is.
	Well, this could be part of the CIA war.
	It could be.
	Because specifically Brennan, who was a CIA guy, is...
	Still being targeted over and over and over again for what?
	I don't know.
	And then this whole thing about Liz Cheney coming out and saying, I don't know why he hasn't fired somebody over the crotch bomber.
	Well, who's to fire?
	It wasn't anybody's fault.
	I mean, the guy was let through in Amsterdam.
	We had nothing to do with that.
	And his visa was not revoked, and that video was missing from the archives.
	Because one of the communities, someone in the community said, let him go.
	Do not revoke his visa.
	So that stinks.
	It really, really stinks.
	The whole thing stinks.
	And this attack, something's fishy about the whole thing.
	And yeah, I think people should be held accountable and fired for certain things, like Brownie, you know, in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans.
	And there's instances where the TSA is screwed up and nobody ever gets fired.
	But this particular instance, I'm not seeing where anybody should be getting fired and why they keep targeting these same people over and over and over again over the crotch bomber.
	It just seems to me they're out to get somebody.
	Well, you know what the good news is, John?
	We have three days to figure it out.
	Yeah, well, we won't figure it out in three days.
	But we're going to play the Garofalo thing here at the end.
	Yes.
	And I think people will enjoy that.
	And there is one other meme I wanted to mention, which is a very bad one, which I'm very worried about.
	I think Glenn Beck is propagating this.
	That someone from the extreme...
	I saw him last night as I was trying to fall asleep.
	That someone from the extreme right, a tea partier in the extreme...
	Yeah.
	I don't like that, but that, what you just said, reminds me of what O'Reilly, in fact, there was a clip I was almost going to bring where O'Reilly publicly said that, he gave some number, like 10 to 20% of the Tea Party movement are loonies.
	They're loons.
	He likes to use the word loon.
	And so now there's a meme going around that they're trying to marginalize the original, probably the original Tea Party people as crazies.
	Exactly.
	To bring Sarah Palin up.
	They got the new Tea Party nations different.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, there's something going on.
	It's not good.
	Something bad is going to happen, or at least they're going to have a bad impression.
	This is a scheme underway that looks like it's very well choreographed, and I'm not absolutely sure what they're up to.
	And add to that that some crazy guy broke through Biden's security at the Olympic Games in Vancouver.
	You know, it's a setup.
	It really feels like a setup that maybe there will be an attempt on the president's life.
	They're going to blame the original, the loony teabaggers, and then push Sarah Palin forward.
	Oh my gosh.
	Ugh.
	Oh my gosh, John.
	It's unfolding before our very eyes.
	Yeah, and somehow Brennan has got to go.
	I don't know what it's got to do with it.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	All right.
	So we'll play the rest of the Dead Reckoning clip of Garofalo and Rosie O'Donnell just to piss you off a little more.
	But remember, you need to tongue kiss your sis admin today.
	He or she deserves it.
	They will truly save us from all evil at the end of the day.
	Coming to you from the 13th floor of the Marriott Hotel in downtown San Francisco, Gitmo Nation, West San Francisco, in the Republic of California.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And the more mature of the two, living here in northern Silicon Valley, wishing you a happy Thursday and Friday and Saturday.
	And don't forget to give us some love at NoAgendaStream.com.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	And we'll talk to you again on Sunday for early service.
	remember i'll still be younger than john right here on no agenda and what it is is when you decide to figure out where you go you you are going um based on where you are right now and where you've been rather than using navigational tools Sometimes it's used when people don't have access to navigational tools or they don't use the stars.
	And what happens is they tend to get lost because they are frequently going from a false premise.
	They're already lost and they're under the impression they're somewhere.
	I don't know if I'm articulating this correctly, dead reckoning, but if you go from a false premise, which a lot of conservatism does, and then you move on from there, you're going to continue to stack falsehood.
	And at sea, when people get lost a lot, it's because they use dead reckoning.
	They are making assumptions about where they are or where they've been.
	Right.
	Because they don't have navigational tools at the ready.
	And then they keep going wrong.
	Does that make sense?
	Yes, I understand.
	And I feel like people like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and a lot of right-wingers, dead reckoning is the problem.
	The point of origin is false.
	Well, and they also get the points of origin delivered in daily talking points.
	Yes.
	The Republican talking points.
	Like, she would get them.
	The RNC points.
	That's exactly right.
	And then she would go over them with Bill Getty.
	For a half hour, they would meet before the show.
	Right.
	And then she would come out with her dittos and her little faxes of all of the points that they were trying to make that, again, were based on what?
	Where they'd been?
	Or just a falsehood.
	A falsehood.
	Just a false premise, and then it stacks up from there.
	But here's another thing with the type of mindset.
	I keep saying right-winger.
	I don't know what else to call it.
	A person that lacks empathy.
	A person that's...
	Elitist.
	Elitist latte drinker.
	Yes.
	That's nonsense.
	That's so embarrassing when people say stuff like that.
	Accuse Obama of being a country club elitist.
	Karl Rove, Frank Luntz, the guy who comes up with the talking points at these meetings.
	Grover Norquist.
	They have no shame.
	You can't embarrass them.
	They have no problem.
	And they know who they're lying to.
	The base, if you will.
	It need not be given facts.
	Need not be fair-minded or open-minded to anything.
	And when you talk that way to people, the way Rush talks to people, the way he lies to people, you can't have respect for them.
	You couldn't possibly respect who's listening to you if you lied to them the way...
	That they do.
	They use these people as a blunt instrument.
	Do you think that they believe it?
	Rush or Glenn Beck or those people?
	It depends.
	Sometimes, like, when you meet Sean Hannity, you think, oh, I think he doesn't know he's lying.
	Some people, like, the Fox and Friends morning douchebags, on Fox and Friends.
	You can just see it when you go on the show.
	Don't make that mistake.
	Don't do that.
	No, I won't.
	I won't do it again.
	But Brian Kilmeade, you get the sense they don't know they're lying.
	And they don't care.
	Then Greta Van Susteren, Britt Hume, they do know they're lying.
	Well, I saw Greta.
	I was in Washington lobbying for foster care reform with a senator from Louisiana, and she wanted to do an interview.
	And I said to her, what the hell happened to you?
	Won't you go working for the enemy?
	She wanted to work.
	I said, what's the deal, Greta?
	You're working for him?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	You've got to serve somebody.
	Look who you're serving.
	And she's like, well, you know, the CNN people were really mean to me and they fired my whole staff and blah, blah, blah.
	I'm like, okay, but still, at the end of the day...
	Who are you getting your paycheck from?
	I don't know.
	I've asked that question of other people who work at Fox 2, even in more technical capacities and stuff like that.
	You've got to work.
	They've got to work.
