That is about as lame as anything I've ever seen on the internet.
Coming from a government site...
Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's March 21st, 2010.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 184.
This is No Agenda.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
Hey, all the weather reports say that it's supposed to be sunny today.
It's not.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
That's my word of the day.
Matutinal.
Yeah, good work.
Do you know what that means?
Is it a real word?
Yeah, matutinal.
Okay.
It means in the morning.
Oh, somebody gave us a bunch of those.
Yeah, we should be using a couple of those once in a while.
Yeah, these are good words.
Words that matter.
In the morning to you, my friend.
In the morning to you.
Yes.
How are you doing?
Fine.
Hey, I brought back the daily source code.
Yes, I understand you ran it on Friday and everybody thought it was fantastic.
Actually, I don't think I've received a single negative comment.
And of course, it's important to point out that this is because of the donations to the No Agenda stream, the sustaining producers, that I'm now bringing this back.
Yes.
I'm not going to promise anything is what I'm going to do.
Yes, please.
We have a problem on this show.
Promises.
Under delivering.
But you want to do it twice a week though, right?
I would like to, yeah.
I would like to.
I'd like to do a lot of work.
How long did that one run?
Well, the show ran about an hour and five, an hour and ten minutes.
But, you know, it takes time to prepare.
I spent a whole afternoon just doing the opening.
Oh, okay.
All these shows take time to prepare.
Even if you're just playing records, you know, it takes time.
Records.
Listen to me.
Records.
I heard that.
You heard it, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, my goodness.
I said records.
Give me my records, everybody.
You know, records are coming back in fashion.
Vinyl is actually selling quite well these days.
Yeah, it is.
But only for retro use.
It's crackpot now.
No, no, no.
Companies like Chrysalis are releasing vinyl regularly.
It's not crackpot.
There's a special on one of the TV shows and only a few guys can still do the vinyl.
They've pulled out most of that gear.
So there's like three or four shops in the whole country where there used to be hundreds cranking out vinyl discs.
And then apparently the equipment's not made anymore.
So they have to kind of scrounge to keep the things working.
So I don't think vinyl's going to be even possible to be manufactured in the next, say, maybe 20 years from now.
I remember I did a documentary of Jamaica once, and we went to Tough Gong Records.
You know Tough Gong?
No.
Well, they are the original Bob Marley label, and this was the original Jamaica sound record label.
It was a real tinny sound.
No, it was the only place where they could press records.
Yeah.
And it was cool because they actually took a demo track down, recording, and they pressed it right onto vinyl there.
It was kind of fun in the old school way where they're actually throwing the goop onto the platter themselves by hand.
Yeah, it was fun.
Shh!
What is that goop made of, besides vinyl?
Polyvinyl chloride, mostly, as far as I know.
And there's some binders in there, and there's also some carbon, and then there's some lubricants.
It must be...
It's all petroleum-based, though, right?
As far as I know, yeah, it's plastic.
Okay, so as a green initiative, we should ban all vinyl.
We should, because it's causing global warming as we speak.
So, the 78s were made out of some other stuff.
Oh, yeah, those things would break if you picked up a stack and they weren't neatly aligned.
You'd go, poof, oh, crap, and half of them would break off in your hand.
Yeah, yeah.
It was called the shellac, but it wasn't, I don't know what it was.
I actually should look into it.
I should know these things.
Yeah, you should.
Shellac.
Hey, John, as we get underway, you know, a lot of people email us and say, you know, that beginning banter you guys do, that's really hard to get people to get into the show.
Because they're like, what are these two assholes talking about shellac?
One guy's got shellac in his hair.
They say, what are they talking about?
Do we have two schools of thought?
No, that's the best part because you guys get to talk about things that are kind of, you know.
And then other guys say, you're boring us stiff.
We want news.
Right.
But one thing we're not going to stop doing, which is telling people who the executive producers are.
Right.
Lay it on me, Johnny boy.
So we've got three executive producers and two associate executive producers.
Okay, I'm ready.
I am ready to...
And actually, we've got three nights today, which we'll do later.
Holy moly.
Really?
Well, one of the nights is a black knight, John Aaron, who is also the executive producer who gave us 1024.
Huh?
He says he's going to buy a new TV, but he doesn't need it.
He'd rather give us the money.
Good man.
Let me tell you something.
Last night, against my better judgment, we watched a movie on TV. And it was on A&E. It was Traffic, which I think I'd seen before.
It's with Michael Douglas.
It's about the...
I saw that on the listing and I was thinking to myself, have I seen this movie before?
I think so.
You probably have.
I went to watch C-SPAN instead.
Yeah, I know.
Well, I made a huge mistake and I wound up prepping until 1.30.
Because of it.
Because what happens is, it was unbelievable.
They would do seven minutes of movie and five minutes of commercials.
And the commercials consisted of panda bears with snorkels, all kinds of psychedelic crap like ginger ale bottles talking to me.
And then there's this Dairy Queen commercial that has a female mouth with a male voice.
My brain was exploding every seven minutes.
They'd interrupt the movie for five minutes of commercials.
And I vowed, that's it.
I am never again watching a movie on a broadcast station, ever, ever, ever.
So you're right.
You might as well just give up your whole TV. It's worthless.
It doesn't work.
It's broken.
I'm totally in agreement with you.
It's broken.
And the whole model of these guys, they've got to keep more advertising going in because they're just losing their shirts.
All right.
Executive producers.
They must be losing this.
Ran with John Aaron.
I want to thank him.
Rob C. Locke in Calgary, Alberta, who gave us $369.12 so he could become...
He's totaled up to be a knight, but he's also now an executive producer.
And...
Dwayne Melanson.
Melanson?
Melanson.
Melanson?
Yeah, Melanson.
With an L or an N? E-M-E-L-A-N-C-O-N. Melanson.
It's Cajun or French.
He's tasty.
He's yum.
Okay, well, excellent.
Wow, man, this is going to be a big production.
We've got three executive producers.
That means this is a big, big show.
Yeah, we've got two co-executive producers.
By the way, Melanson is, I think he may have been from Louisiana, but I think he's listed as being in Tiggard, Oregon.
You know, Tiggard and Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, Tiggard.
Anyways, T-I-G-A-R-E-E, 365.
I'm hilarious.
So we have Lee Ryan and Pepper Fleming.
Lee Ryan, 255.10, and Pepper Fleming gave us $250.
They're the associate executive producers.
TV pop quiz trivia.
Who was Pepper?
I don't know.
Come on, man.
Pepper.
Pepper, don't you remember?
It was a fantastic television series.
Cop show, Pepper.
Oh, it was, wasn't it, what's her name?
It's a woman.
Yes, yes, yes.
The problem with Pepper, it's ambiguous.
You don't know if it's a man or a woman.
Yeah, well, it reminds me of, come on.
Yeah, it was, what's her name?
The actress.
Yes.
Yeah, it wasn't real.
It was an actress, John.
You're correct.
Yeah, I know who it is.
Angie Dickinson is policewoman.
Yeah.
We used to watch that religiously.
I loved that show.
She was hot.
When I think of Pepper, I think of Pepper Rogers, the former coach of the UCLA Bruins.
Anyway, Pepper's in Sarasota and Ryan Lee's in Ashland, Kentucky.
Might as well mention Kentucky's got a good shot at winning the basketball championship this year.
So I'd like to thank our executive producers for episode 184 of No Agenda.
John Aaron, Rob C. Locke, and Dwayne Melaton.
No, no, no.
William, we've got one more.
Sorry.
We had three executive producers.
The other one is William Arcand in Draycutt, Massachusetts.
He was...
Wait a minute, so we have four...
Oh, no, wait, I take it back.
No, wait, wait, wait, sorry.
I'm sorry, he's the knight.
Who's the knight?
William Arcand, John Aaron, and Rob Seelock are all knights.
And our executive producers are John Aaron, Rob Seelock, and Dwayne Melanson.
You're right.
You were right.
I'm sorry.
Well, you know what?
You really suck.
Because, you know, it's like I'm trying to do these people some props here, and you're just messing it up.
Okay, John Aaron, Rob Seelock, Dwayne Melanson, William Arcand, who is a knight, We will be knighting later along with John and Rob.
And our associate executive producers for episode 184 of No Agenda, Lee Ryan and Pepper Fleming.
And we really appreciate your support for this show.
With a credit roll like that, you know it's going to be a huge show.
You can take this, you can put it on your resume, you can always have us reference you or vouch for you if necessary.
And of course, you get to go out and adhere to our very simple formula, which is this.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
And for those of you with a knighthood, soon you will be able to really hit people in the mouth.
You.
World.
Order.
Shut up.
With your knighthood ring.
So, I want to mention one thing about Rob Seelock.
He was complaining that he's donated before and he's never...
Yeah, but this is a real problem, John.
I mean, you are in charge.
Wait, you're going to predict what I have to say.
Tell me what it is.
No, I'm not going to predict.
I'm going to predict what I'm going to say.
I'm going to predict that I'm going to say you need to take better care of the administration of sponsors, supporters, donors, whatever you want to call it.
It's a big list.
But Seelock was complaining that we've never read his little comments.
And I have to say...
And by the way, it's Ryan Lee, not Lee Ryan.
Okay?
Luckily, we're paying Eric to sit in a special chat room to help out a little bit later.
At least I got the Kentucky part right.
Now, anyway.
It's not funny.
It's just not funny.
Well, it's fine.
If you want to just sit here and spend time berating me.
I mean, if you want to waste minutes and minutes of the show, that's one thing.
But if you want me to just finish this little commentary up, it would probably be better.
Please finish.
He invited us to Calgary anytime we want to go.
And he's buying the beer.
Although not officially a PR associate.
I do give honorable mention to Mander Waymaster, which I believe is an alias, for a fantastic idea on how to propagate the show.
And he sent along a screenshot, which he's posted on his Flickr site, which I have put into the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
He says, why don't you have everyone change their Wi-Fi, SSID, that's your Wi-Fi name, to NoAgendaStream.com.
And he sent along a picture of his.
And I think that's a pretty good idea.
That's a great idea.
Because not only does it promote our URL for noagendastream.com, but it also identifies you.
And we probably should have a universal password that you can use if you come across a noagendastream.com Wi-Fi access point.
Well, let's put it this way, since you don't want everyone opening up their systems, but many of the new routers, if not all of them, have the ability to have a second sub-segment.
Oh, really?
Oh yeah.
And so you can have like a little, it doesn't give you the full bandwidth, but for an emergency use or something, you can go on there and get your email.
And that's what you want the password for.
So if somebody has no agenda, if they have one of the new routers, usually one of the N routers.
The whole chat room is like, hold on, switching windows, yep, done.
Everyone's doing it as we speak.
802.11.N routers, almost all the new ones, the good ones.
When you set the router up, you'll see that the secondary connection is available.
Okay.
And the password is in the morning.
Yeah, and it would only be on that one.
I don't advise doing it on the main connection.
So you can do, it's a secondary, and then what can you do?
You can only do certain things?
You can't really get onto the network?
What does it allow you?
You can get on the internet.
Well, perfect.
So you just set up your secondary password.
Right.
I have never even seen this.
I didn't know that existed.
Oh yeah, I got two routers here that do it.
And actually, it's for guest accounts.
Essentially, say you have a little small company, and you want people to come in, but you don't want them on your network necessarily, and you don't want to deal with all the complexities of keeping them off of it.
You just set up this guest account, which is kind of segmented off from the main connection, and it allows people to go on the Internet.
Wow, we just had a massive split on the IRC channel.
This show is getting out of control.
Yeah, and then you complain about me not being able to handle all these.
Maybe we should stop while we're ahead.
While we're still alive.
How's that for an idea?
So, I have many things that we could talk about today.
Of course, way too many things, which keeps propelling me.
I think we're making a mistake.
We keep going longer and longer on the show.
No, we have to keep the show under two hours.
And we have to go to three a week.
It just makes no sense.
Because you know how much stuff we leave on the table?
Just, okay, remind me.
Please remind me to talk about the Pope's letter.
Okay, talk about the Pope's letter.
No, I don't want to talk about it now.
Why not?
You're going to forget to talk about it.
No, elders first, please.
You did a lot of work.
I see you've got a lot of clips.
You've got something on your mind.
I can tell.
Yeah.
Listening to you.
So, and by the way, have you gotten...
Oh, anyway.
What's the clips?
Let's do a clip.
Let's do something light-hearted.
Yes.
Oh, something like some real news or...
Nah, I wouldn't call it real news.
It's one of these, you know, the law and order kind of thing.
Okay.
Is this bad acting?
Is this any good?
No, no.
This is always bad acting.
This is about, this law and order, which was a rerun, but I had not seen it, was pretty good because it had two different propaganda pieces in it.
One of them was about how evil it is to be texting while driving, and you could be killed, murdered.
Oh, really?
You could be murdered if you did?
Oh, yeah, because the guy was murdered.
Okay.
And he was murdered by a bunch of – and this is the second propaganda piece.
He was murdered by a bunch of nutcases that are on the internet on some sort of a vigilante site where they would go after people and name their names, put their addresses, make people harass them so everybody got phone calls and stuff like that.
Okay.
So, to get a feeling for this particular show, one of the clips, I think it's named something...
What's the Law and Order clip named?
Crazy Woman and Dialogue of the Devil.
Yeah.
Dialogue of the Devil?
What's the other one?
Crazy Woman and Dialogue of the Devil?
Yes.
Use Dialogue...
Well, I didn't know if it could have been one clip.
Why are you so touchy today?
Play Dialogue of the Devil.
Lucky the judge didn't throw your case out entirely.
She's living in the 20th century.
Words on the internet have consequences.
Yes.
I love it already.
Words on the internet have consequence.
Those words can kill you.
Now, I want you to listen to the thing from beginning to end with it in mind.
What if it was a radio show?
This would be like the most surreal dialogue and everything imaginable.
Okay, here we go.
You're lucky the judge didn't throw your case out entirely.
She's living in the 20th century.
Words on the internet have consequences.
Actually, she's living in the 18th century when the Bill of Rights was written, which on balance is a good thing.
Well, if it weren't for what people on that website said and did, Carrie Sands would have never murdered Sid Maxwell.
Yes, but now you'll have to forget about the Sid.
I'm dropping the charges against the cheerleaders, but I'm still moving against the guy who ran the site and the people who sent out the photos and the door code.
They'll say they were only encouraging people to send Maxwell a message that they never intended for him to be killed.
They were dealing with a crazy woman.
They didn't have to intend for her to kill him.
If they recklessly disregarded the likelihood that it would happen, they're guilty.
Huh?
Good luck.
Thank you for sharing the information about this accomplice of the devil.
Oh, okay.
It's almost like one long non sequitur.
Yeah.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's just one thing and then this devil thing.
They're just throwing mind control at you the whole time.
It's just, it's nothing.
And then the other one, which is about the woman, this woman was a psycho, and she, well, you can play the woman, the other clip, and you'll get it.
Miss Sands, if you don't mind, could you come back and sit for a minute?
Thank you.
We checked accident reports from three years ago, and there was no report involving a taxi and a child.
I saw it happen.
And you do have a daughter, but she didn't die.
Social services took her away from you because you offered her to a Catholic Church as a human sacrifice.
I don't believe in human sacrifices.
Ms.
Sands, were you at Mr.
Maxwell's apartment Friday night?
He was getting messages from the devil.
Who was?
Mr.
Maxwell?
Not just him.
He tells them whom to kill.
Who tells who whom to kill?
Mr.
Maxwell?
The devil?
May I please see a lawyer now?
You know what?
I don't know what's scarier.
This clip or the fact that you watched this and took time to record it into a clip and then actually email it to me.
Think of all the wasted time.
What is the point?
I love this stuff.
It's completely nuts.
They've gone off the deep end with this kind of story, though.
And the great part about it for people out there who like the Jon Stewart show, the guy who was the evil webmaster, the guy running the website, was Rob Corddry.
Oh, that's funny.
That's the bald guy?
Yeah, the bald guy.
That is pretty funny.
So, I mean, the whole thing was hilarious.
So, the Pope wrote a letter.
Aha!
I heard that he did.
Yes, and I actually was stupid enough to go and download the letter and read it, in which he basically says nothing.
Instead of, hey, I'm sorry we covered this up for 25 years, which is what he should have said.
Actually, I have a PDF of his letter.
I highlighted a couple of choice bits.
Can I give you a point of irony about this whole thing that I actually found amusing?
Yes.
Is that, you remember when the economic collapse took place right at the beginning, all these Europeans, the Scottish banks and Ireland and most of the EU, oh, it's an American problem, oh, it's an American problem, we got, we, the poor Americans are idiots.
Right, right, the mortgage crisis, oh, the Americans overextended themselves, yeah.
Yeah, meanwhile, of course, when the Catholic Church in the United States started falling apart because of the, or the scandal started happening all over the place, Same thing.
Oh, the Americans.
Oh, it's got nothing to do with us.
It's just those crazy Americans, those pedophiles over there.
Which was, what, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years later, we see this happening?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, it's quite amazing.
And, of course, I'm referencing a huge number of reports and lawsuits and people who are coming out that they've been severely abused by Roman Catholic priests in Ireland.
I actually have an audio clip that I want to share with you.
So, anyways, the Pope has to come out, and he has to say, well, sorry.
And what he should be saying is, you know, wow, I can't believe we covered this up.
I'm going to, like, fire all these guys.
But of course, he was part of the cover-up.
So I download this letter, which is like...
It's like eight pages.
You know, a couple of bits here.
It is true, as many in your country have pointed out, that the problem of child abuse in Peculiar, which I find...
In Peculiar?
Yes.
In particular?
That's what I thought, but it says P-E-C-U-L-I-A-R. Peculiar.
This was on the PDF? This is the actual PDF, yes.
Huh.
That's just a typo.
Does the Pope not have Microsoft Word?
Apparently not.
This is killing me.
It says, so SIC, I will say, S-I-C. What does that stand for, by the way?
It means it's wrong.
Thank you.
Child abuse is peculiar neither to Ireland nor to the church.
So right now, right there he's saying, hey, you know, this shit happens all over the place.
How does he know that?
Yeah, he gets memos.
Certainly among the contributing factors we can include inadequate procedures for determining the suitability of candidates for the priesthood and the religious life, insufficient human, moral, intellectual, and spiritual formation in seminaries and novitiates.
A tendency in society to favor the clergy and other authority figures, and a misplaced concern for the reputation of the church and the avoidance of scandal, resulting in failure to apply existing canonical penalties.
He's not even talking about law, he's talking about church law.
That's what canonical is, right?
Apparently.
So I start to get into this.
Oh, actually, he has like 10 points here, listed and numbered.
Can I ask a question?
Yes.
At the very end, does he have a little happy face he drew on there?
A little smiley.
To priests and religious who have abused children.
Here's the whole message.
Cut it out.
Yeah, here it is.
Cut it out, dude.
You're making us look bad.
You betrayed the trust that was placed in you by innocent young people and their parents and you must answer it before almighty God and before properly constituted tribunals.
Again, not saying you should really go to jail.
You have forfeited the esteem of the people of Ireland and brought shame and dishonor upon your confreres.
Those of you who are priests violated the sanctity of the sacrament of holy orders in which Christ makes himself present in us and our actions.
Together with the immense harm done to victims, great damage has been done to the church and to the public perception of the priesthood and religious life.
How about the kids, Popey?
How about the kids?
Anyway, I can go on and on, but that'll be annotated and I'll drop a link in the show notes.
Kind of an interesting point.
Yeah!
So, now we've got to get to this clip of one of the abused.
Now, it's a guy speaking...
So, they had something called the Ryan...
This has been brewing for a long time.
Something called the Ryan Commission Report in Ireland.
And this part was televised where people were, you know, able to ask questions of law enforcement and ministers and say, you know, ministers as in ministers of parliament, you know, what the hell is going on?
And it's amazing.
It's kind of hard.
You've got to focus because he's speaking with an Irish accent.
And the YouTube video that I'm going to play for you actually has subtitles, so you may want to go back later and get it.
But the key words will be, I think, pretty clear.
By the way, when someone says they've been buggered, that's basically violated.
So here's a guy.
It's sad to hear what hundreds of children went through.
And this guy, of course, is now somewhat older.
As this is now just really coming to light.
Chairman, I'm surprised that minister there now.
First of all, Mr.
Minister, you made a bags of it in the beginning by changing the judges.
You made a complete bags of it.
That's a really pertinent point.
On this Ryan Commission, they had judges, and then the judges were changed.
Because, you know, we all know that the judges are involved and all.
The justice system is completely corrupt the world round.
And I think most of them are, not most of them, a lot of them are in on this scandal.
I went to the Lafay Commission, and he had seven barristers there questioning me and telling them I was telling lies when I told them that I got raped on a Saturday, got a merciful beating after it, And then he came along the following morning and put all the communion in my mouth.
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
This is chilling, John.
It's chilling.
You don't know what happened there.
You hung the foggies, you're talking to your hat there, and you're talking to a female foreman, a former councillor, a former mayor.
You're talking to...
What toot and nail for the party that you're talking about now?
You didn't do it right.
You got it wrong.
Admit it.
And apologize for doing that.
Because you don't know what I feel inside me.
You don't know the hurt I am.
You said it was non-adversatorial.
My God.
Seven barristers throwing questions at us non-stop.
I attempted to commit suicide.
There's the woman who saved me from committing suicide on my way down from Dublin after spending five days at the commission.
So...
You need to go and watch.
I think a lot of people might have trouble actually understanding what he's saying.
I think it's very understandable.
Really?
It seems so easy when you're actually reading along, so I'm just cautious.
But you can see how all of this was intertwined with the barristers, that would be the judges, who...
Who basically dismissed all of these claims, saying, oh, you don't know what you're talking about, nothing happened, you dreamt it up.
You know, it just shows how these elite have completely intertwined everything.
Five days I spent at the commission, they brought a man over from Rome, 90 odd years of age, to tell me I was telling lies.
That I wasn't beaten for an hour, non-stop, by two of them!
By two of them, non-stop, from head to toe, without a shredded cloth on my body.
My God, Minister.
And now, could I speak to you and ask your leader, would you stop making a political football of this?
You halt us when you do that!
So, I put together a whole list of links, and probably the one that is most amazing is from this site that I've been following now for the past couple months called Angerfan.
A-A-N-G-I-R-F-A-N. And Angerfan does some amazing research.
You can't...
I mean, we'd have to do a three-hour show just on this topic alone.
But is very capable of connecting the Pope all the way down to Boys Town, which you and I have talked about.
Hmm.
And so you must read this article.
And Boys Town, of course, is a story that has been completely suppressed by the media, literally.
But people interested could easily track it down on the web.
Yeah, well, there's even a link to the video here in this story.
But this goes all the way through George Bush.
With Lawrence King, who was basically grabbing children from Boys Town in Omaha.
A lot of interesting people live in Omaha, by the way, just like to point out.
Not saying anything.
But it's very...
Just the stories...
And some of them you actually have to go into archive.org because, of course, they've been removed.
Someone really has to do a cleanup on this whole blog post.
And this is brand new, by the way.
It actually goes all the way through to the Watergate break-in, which according to Angerfan, allegedly, they were looking for the homosexual pedophile book, which was used to blackmail many congressmen and senators.
And he can actually, or he or she, whoever this is, can actually connect all of these pieces together.
It's a fantastic piece of research.
It's just amazing.
Then you've got Operation Ore, ORE, you've got just so many things.
My favorite has to be Tony Blair.
And I guess we weren't doing the show at the time.
But there was, at a certain point, there was a story that was going to be published everywhere that Tony Blair and his entire cabinet were linked to pedophilia and child abuse, and he put out what's called a D, what do they call it, a D warning?
I'm looking for the story here.
10 Downing Street has an option to kill something in the press where they issue a D status or whatever.
That means you cannot publish it.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And they've used that many, many times.
Let me see if I can just find this here.
Well, the links are all in the AngerFan posting.
And I just have to say it again.
This is rife.
This is all the way through all levels of government justice systems, the church, and...
It's bad frickin' news.
Now, what's interesting...
Sounds terrible.
Yeah, it really is.
What's interesting is...
We talked about this briefly on the last show, where now nudity is essentially in America being equated to pornography, and I have a couple of other links.
You have all these different tiers of sex abuse, and everyone is being deemed a sex offender.
You pee against a tree, you get a sex offender label.
There's all kinds of weird...
And by the way, I'm all for stopping sex offenders.
Nothing against that.
But it's being completely misused.
And the most egregious misuse of sex offenders and pedophiles and child killers has got to be what I saw on America's Most Wanted, where John Walsh interviewed President Obama.
And there's something called the Adam Walsh Act, you know, that John Walsh's son was abducted and killed, and that's what got him started on this show, which has been on the air for a long time.
It's probably coming up on 30 years or something.
It's been on the air for quite a long time.
And the Adam Walsh Act has a lot to do with these three different tiers of sex offenders.
And they're taking it in a very frightening direction.
Let's listen to a little bit of this interview.
To continue to build up the U.S. Marshals' capacity, that's something that we want to do in our federal budget.
We also want to provide some support for things like DNA testing at the state levels.
A lot of these local law enforcement officials are just strapped for some of the basic resources, getting the databases set up.
Those are all areas where I think we can provide a lot of help.
And my expectation is that we're going to get bipartisan support from Congress on this issue because it's so important to every family across America.
And there are just too many horror stories that remind us that we're not doing enough.
So apparently the states are being funded to set up DNA databases.
services.
Thank you.
I didn't know this.
Well, apparently that's the case.
Of course, they're so backed up with criminal DNA investigations to the tune of 90 days for most of them, according to testimony by the FBI, that when you start boiling down this DNA thing, besides the fact that it's an invasion of privacy to say the least,
I... I think that Obama's going on to this show because if you can couch everything in terms of save the children and do this and do that, you can get a lot more done when in fact nobody gives a crap about saving the children or they take some things more seriously than other things.
It's just a ruse.
And the ruse, in my opinion, when it comes to DNA, is not necessarily the sinister government side, but the fact that if we start to analyze who, again, and we've talked about this before, who was the number one contributor or one of the top contributors?
What segment of society gave Obama money?
More money than they give to anybody in Congress and probably more than they give to anybody combined.
The insurance industry.
The insurance industry at some point in time would love to get a hold of a DNA database for all their customers so they could say, well, and so they could pull the plug on you when you're 71 years old knowing that you're probably going to drop dead when you're 72.
And let me give you a little story about how this all began.
Do you mind, John?
I really want to go in that direction.
Can I just play the rest of this clip because it's much worse than this.
Okay, go.
The marshals have done an outstanding job.
The FBI has done an outstanding job with the internet crimes portion of it.
With over 100,000 non-compliant level 3 sex offenders.
Here's my commitment, John.
We are going to do everything in our power, as long as I'm in the White House.
And as long as I'm the father of two girls, to make sure that we're providing the states the support that they need to make this happen.
The DNA portion of it is something that I hope to see in my lifetime, that every one of the states have DNA compliance.
And now we have 18 states who are taking DNA upon arrest.
England has done it for years.
It's no different than fingerprinting or a book.
By the way, that's a lie.
England has not done it legally.
There's huge debate over that.
It's not just a throwaway line like, oh, England's doing it.
It's okay.
That's bull.
I love that twist.
Oh, you know, it could clear you.
It could get you out of jail if the DNA can prove that.
That's a nice little throwaway line there.
Now, listen, it's about to get really bad.
I think that this is something this country has to deal with.
It's the right thing to do.
And then, as you well know, John, this is where the national registry becomes so important, making sure that not only are we getting these DNA tests done state by state, but then nationally, everybody's talking to each other.
That's how we make sure that we continue to tighten the grip around folks who have perpetrated these crimes.
Very difficult for me in a country that has done so many great things and so many things that we look up to, that the world looks up to, is that we don't have a deal.
It's not acceptable.
And as you said, this is something that should transcend party.
You know, whatever your attitudes about politics, Politics here in Congress.
Congress should be able to do this.
So now you've got a 23% increase in funding for the Adam Walsh Act.
Let's see if we can start building on that.
Five years down the road, we can look back and say, you know what, we've got a lot of stuff done, and we've probably saved a lot of the lives of innocent people and innocent children from these predators.
And I know you're a very loud voice for victims.
All right, there you go.
So the president vows to make a national DNA database on the air.
And you're absolutely right, John.
If people actually cared about children, they would be caring about a lot of other things like real education, real food, etc.
And I do like your analysis that this is probably not even about the children at all.
You're right.
It's probably about getting the insurance company's DNA data.
Let me tell you how this all began.
Maybe 20 years ago, I gave a speech for Progressive.
A insurance company out of Cleveland.
And this is before they were an insurance company, per se, before they came out with all their crazy, you know, we'll give you the quotes from everybody, which is, by the way, part of their marketing plan, if you know exactly how they work.
Progressive began, and I was fascinated by this, by the way, I think the people at Progressive are geniuses.
These are the people who have the commercial with the man bag?
Yeah.
The European man bag?
Yes.
Okay.
I got it.
So they give you the quotes.
They have the database.
They start off as a database company.
That did actuarial tables and things where they could analyze, and this was like over 20 years ago, they could analyze, and they showed me all this stuff.
They said, we can take a look at any one person in the country and take a look at their, this is what advertisers always want to do.
They figure you can click the button a few times, they got you nailed.
They know exactly what you're going to do.
We can tell by the person's background where they're living, what they're driving, and all these other things based on...
Right.
It's risk management.
That's what insurance is, risk management.
Right.
And they can tell if you're going to get into a wreck in the next 24 months.
And so then they could...
They used to just sell the data so people can take...
So the other insurance companies...
It was the other insurance companies.
So they could figure out who the high-risk areas are, where the likelihood is the car's going to get stolen, and all the rest of it.
Then they decided, the second stroke of genius was to say, well, hey, if we can do this, why don't we start an insurance company ourselves and then sell insurance and we can actually pull this stunt, which I think is Because we know so much, but we have so much details on individuals and what's going to happen, that we can tell that somebody like Allstate, for example, is going to give those people a quote of $200 a month.
Right.
And we can cut it.
We can't afford it at $200 a month.
They're going to lose money on this guy.
And so they could push people in that direction and say, yeah, go buy the Allstate stuff.
And they would do that because essentially it's hurting Allstate because the progressive guys know that you can't do the $200 deals.
It has to be $225.
And so then if they had somebody overpriced, obviously, then they had the advantage because they had the data.
Now, insurance companies love this because it gives them the ultimate control.
Now, if they had DNA databases of everybody, they could tell if you have genetic issues with maybe you're going to get diabetes or maybe you're prone to a heart attack.
You're not going to live to be past 55.
You're going to catch this disease.
You're going to have that disease.
You're going to get into this problem.
You're going to have mental illness.
You're going to have all these different things because that's what DNA can tell, you know, once it starts getting analyzed to death.
And so now you can say, well, here's an interesting old man.
He's 71 years old.
We have all the control in the world.
At 71, we've made the money off and we're pulling his policy because we know he's going to die in the next two years and we don't want to cover it.
Or all the medical insurance companies can pull the same thing.
The reason that, you know, the thing about DNA and all the rest of these things is a lot of times it's a smokescreen for what people are really after and it's money.
And the fact of the matter is when people get all worked up about, and this one here being a privacy thing is amusing to me because it'll bring the privacy laggards out into the woodwork.
You know, the people who say when you say, well, I don't care about, you know, all these cameras all over the place.
I have nothing to hide.
I've got nothing to hide.
They keep saying that.
Hey, buddy, in this case, you do have something to hide.
Your future may be tied up in your DNA. You can get screwed over.
You'll be pushing a shopping cart, mister.
I've got nothing to hide.
Because of this kind of thing.
This is the problem with people who are kind of lacked about privacy.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, the cameras.
And then it goes to the next thing.
And then, well, there's nothing to hide.
The cameras don't mean anything to me.
DNA, I don't care.
I'll give them the DNA. Nothing to hide.
Right.
The cameras are just a little stepping stone to the next part, which is basically making your entire body transparent.
Exactly.
And the funny thing is, you know, we had a couple of our producers, students, that talked about how they'd bring this stuff up in class and this I've got nothing to hide thing has become a very important propaganda point of meme, if you will, in the society because people who say that they're being led astray because they don't get it.
It's not about having something to hide or not having something to hide.
There's all kinds of sinister aspects to all this stuff and there's a good reason for privacy.
So, this is why I don't understand the healthcare package that I guess is being voted on today, or healthcare reform, which of course is healthcare insurance reform.
I don't understand how any insurance company, unless what we're being told, which of course I do believe is bullcrap, and it means something else, and of course up is down and left is right, and it's always the other way around it seems, How can you tell...
Let me give you an example.
So this is insurance, and there are two big things on this.
One is 32 million Americans who don't have insurance will get insurance.
And remind me to tell you about my daughter's great health care in the UK in a moment.
That no one will be denied healthcare insurance, but they're saying healthcare, and words matter, based upon pre-existing conditions.
Well, see, I believe this to be exactly the opposite of the truth, and it makes no sense.
If you are in the insurance business, which is the risk management business, insurance companies don't do healthcare.
They don't cure you.
They don't give you MRIs.
They insure you against it.
And make sure that you can pay the exorbitant fees of this out-of-control cost.
How can any business stay in business if essentially they're told you can't deny anyone unless they can't deny anyone by charging an outrageous premium?
That's exactly what it is.
That's the only thing that it can...
In fact, that would be...
Actually, that would be great by mandating coverage for everyone, but also mandating, oh, well, okay, but then, of course, someone's going to pay for the outrageous cost of covering someone with pre-existing conditions.
And what happened to HMOs, John?
Wasn't that kind of a groovy system?
Am I crazy?
No.
Well, they're still around.
But isn't the whole idea of an HMO, a health, what is it, health maintenance organization?
Yeah, or health management.
Health management.
Wasn't the idea that you had a group of doctors and hospitals, and essentially they have their fees set, and you can't go to any doctor you want, but supposedly you can go to good doctors who are at these HMOs, and you pay a set fee.
Yeah, well, Kaiser Permanente seems to be the dominant player still in that arena.
I don't know.
Back in the day, you had to go to the doctor on Main Street, and you only had one doctor.
You had no choice.
And you brought him a chicken.
You know, the problem, yeah, but here's the elephant in the room that people keep not wanting to discuss, even though they keep bringing it up in Congress.
I mean, if you've been listening to C-SPAN over the past few days, is where is, it's all tort reform.
It's all, you know, the thing that's killing the healthcare system, and the Democrats will do nothing about it, and, you know, John Edwards made himself a multimillionaire out of this, and somebody, the Tennessee Representative Roe, who is an MD, gave testimony over the last week, discussing the fact that, you know, they have these huge lawsuits where some woman, you know, had her arm, you know, they took her arm off instead of her appendix, and they give her...
That's a bad one.
A hundred million dollars, you know, because it's, you know, a hundred million dollars, and that's 40% of it, so she, you know, as long as it gets 16.
I take it back.
Your screw-ups on the executive producers is nothing compared to that.
It's not like, you can always say to me, Adam, it's not like taking someone's arm off instead of their appendix.
So they would sue, but the lawsuit is so over the top.
I mean, it's so unbelievable that it's become a huge burden for doctors.
And Roe testified that he was a pediatrician.
He says it's almost impossible to become a pediatrician nowadays because of the legal implications.
Somebody has a child with a birth defect and you get sued.
Somebody has a child with a missing thumb and you get sued.
So let me break it down.
So what you're saying is the reason why health care is so expensive is because they have to pad their bank accounts and pay high premiums for insurance against these outrageous lawsuits.
Yeah.
And they keep bringing it up as tort reform, but the Democrats who are highly financed by trial lawyers who make tons of money off of this crap, they refuse to throw this in the bill.
And so the escalating costs aren't going to stop.
Somewhere it went incredibly wrong, and my ex-wife was like this.
It was always like, I have a right, and I have a right to be safe for everything, and we'll sue the cops if this happens, and we'll sue the airlines if that happens, and we'll sue the railroad if this happens, and we'll sue, and we'll sue, and we'll sue, and we'll sue.
Somewhere something happened where we have this belief all of a sudden that we have a right to entire cocooned safety in the world.
And it's just not the way it is.
And you fall in your bathroom.
I'll sue the bed, bath, and beyond.
It's crazy.
We don't...
There is no safety.
Well, the problem is that you have...
By the way, this is...
And people make mistakes, by the way.
Oops!
Yeah, sometimes really big ones.
A lot of this is capped in some states, including California, so you can't do a suit for $100 million for the screw-up.
But the problem is that you don't have it.
I'm telling you, bring some poor person up in front of a jury...
And they have the sob story, and yeah, you have nothing but sympathy for someone who had their arm taken off.
And then they paint the insurance companies and the medical guys and everybody as these great evil beings.
And the next thing you know, you get these judgments that are unbelievable.
And this is the problem.
Nobody wants to do anything about it because it's a money machine.
You know, the Democrats aren't saying anything about it.
And all they're doing is just this phony baloney health care bill.
You might want to play Young from Alaska, who I think gave at least a highly amusing presentation the day before yesterday, I think, in Congress.
I'm listening to this debate and ready to come to the floor.
If it doesn't consider Alaska, but this also affects Alaska.
I'm one that believes in health reform.
But anybody can tell me on that side of the aisle with 2,700 pages, and they say the new one is not quite that long, it's 2,000 pages.
And what's in the bill?
They forget to say that there's 160 new grant programs that have never existed before.
There is 110 new agencies, Mr.
and Mrs.
America, that can issue regulations.
There's 13 health czars.
We're making them legal under this bill.
And the big thing, there's about 1,200 pages of gobbledygook.
And I call it gobbledygook.
I read one on the floor the other day.
But this is on page 1181, a new one.
In general, subject to the succeeding provision of this subtitle, in the case of Affordable Credit Eligible Individual Enrolled in the Exchange Participating Health Benefits Plan 1, the individual shall be eligible for, in accordance with this subtitle, affordable credits consisting of A,
Affordable Premium Credit under Section 243 to be applied against the premium, I just died before I could figure out what I could do.
I'm sorry.
Oops.
...offering intended entity that offers such plan for the health insurance exchange trust fund, an aggregate amount of affordable credit for all affordable credit eligible individuals enrolled in the plan. Over a thousand pages of gobbledygook. So I have...
Yeah.
Anyway, he goes on.
It's an interesting complaint.
The only thing he didn't bring up is the 16,000 new IRS agents.
IRS agents, I know.
And as we know, they've ordered shotguns.
Right.
IRS agents with shotguns to make sure that everybody is signed up.
Pays their dues.
Yeah, signed up and on board with the program.
You will always be.
John, let's continue this conversation in a moment.
I'd like to do our knighthoods so we can continue without having to break down and stop because it is time to do the new knighthoods for this week.
Yeah, we got one black knight and two, well actually two black knights and a regular knight.
Black Knight is someone who we didn't knight at the time that they were supposed to be knighted.
And that's William Arcand?
William Arcand of Dracut.
I have a special Black Knight sound effect here.
In gratitude for your faithful servant, I shall knight thee, your most gracious majesty.
Yes.
William Arcand, John Aaron, who's now listening to us rather than watching his new TV in Broomfield, Colorado.
And that's J-O-N, by the way.
Yeah.
Rob Seelock, our friend in what he calls the oil capital of North America, Calgary.
Let's do William Arcand first, because he is the Black Knight, and we're a little bit remiss that we missed him.
Of course, he does get a much more cooler title.
So...
William Arcand, I hereby knight thee, Sir William!
Black Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please sit down, have a seat at the ever-growing disc.
Disc.
Sit down.
We've got to sit down.
Well, when I do that, I have this envision of a big round disc table, a wooden table, and there's mutton.
And we're eating big turkey legs with our hands.
And who's at the head of the table, by the way?
Well, that would be our next night, John.
John Aaron, please kneel before us as you have disregarded the evil television.
I now knight the Sir John of the No Agenda Nights Roundtable.
And then our final night, and it's nice to have a night up in Canada.
Yeah, an oil night.
Oh, yes, very good.
Rob Seelock, kneel before us.
Do you solemnly take the oath to take umbrage when shysters show up?
Then I hereby night thee, Sir Rob.
Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please, all of you, enjoy our hookers and blow.
And if you want to become a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, which will include retroactively for these new nights as well, a No Agenda Knight Ring, which is probably the only premium we're actually going to do...
So we also have the virtual patch.
Yeah, that's true.
We're close to cut off on that.
But the support amount, the support level is $1,000.
Interestingly enough, John went over that by $24, correct?
Yeah, but $1024 is a famous computer number.
It's a magic number, actually.
Yeah.
It's a magic number.
Next coming, 768.
Yeah.
Or 640.
640k.
And if you want to...
That's enough memory for anybody.
That's right.
So that's how you become a knight at the No Agenda Roundtable.
It has some very...
First of all, you're a member of an elite club.
And the nights are communicating with each other.
There are, you know, internet communication channels as well as, well, basically we jump in for you whenever you need us.
We've made phone calls for nights and we've done all kinds of things.
And that type of support for this program is absolutely necessary.
As we started the show out, it is unbelievable what media has become.
I'm so happy that John basically said, screw it, I'm not buying a TV, I'm supporting these guys.
And you probably got off cheap if you wanted a decent television.
But it's unwatchable.
It's just absolutely unwatchable.
And you think that you're like, oh, I'm just going to take a little break here.
Yeah, then you're stuck.
Yeah, and there's all kinds of...
I mean, the craziest one, the Dairy Queen, where they have a red female lip mouth with a male voice is very confusing.
It's very twisted.
Sounds disturbing.
Yeah, the panda bear snorkeling with a shark coming up to them, and then they're selling chestnut...
Shrimp.
This is bad.
It's really bad.
And even the national treasure such as NPR, just pay attention to what they're doing.
Pay attention.
That means spend some of your mind span on watching what they're doing.
It's filled with advertising.
And therefore, they cannot be honest about all of their fantastic reporting.
I'm not saying that they don't do some, but they can never be 100% honest because it will go right against their business model.
And it just doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
And I think that what we're doing here is...
Let me throw another one out there, people, why we're doing it this way.
I was watching the...
We got bills to pay?
Is that enough for you?
Besides the fact that we have bills to pay, yes.
But we could do the commercial approach, too, and that would pay bills.
But Tom Hartman, I watch his show occasionally.
Ah, Tom, yes.
Who's the left-wing version of...
Hannity, maybe.
He goes, and I've heard him get into a really good debate with somebody.
They're going back and forth and back and forth.
And just as the thing is getting interesting, he says, oh, well, we're at a hard break right now.
We've got to take a break.
We'll be right back right after this.
And then they cut off the discussion, and the next thing you know, he's back with somebody else.
I mean, this soundbite-oriented approach to media really doesn't work in an environment like we have now.
I mean, you say the same thing when you listen to one of the talk show guys on the radio, which is the same ratio of two minutes of talk to one minute of advertising.
They get into a role or something, or they get something they want to say, and, you know, unless they step all over their advertisers, they can't continue.
And then you have to take a break.
You get out of the mood, you know, whatever messages you are receiving.
And by the way, one of the things that advertisers love...
In fact, if you can get the listener or the reader into a receptive mood.
Yes, exactly.
You are so in tune.
You are so open to information.
And your brain is wide open.
It's like a funnel.
And then all of a sudden, what?
And then you get the Dairy Queen female mouth talking like a guy.
So in other words, when Adam and I are breaking down some story and we're maybe giving you a point of revelation where you're realizing that there's more to it than the surface, and then it opens you up to thinking about things slightly differently, we don't want to put a commercial in there because that basically is exploiting the moment.
And that's one of the real problems with commercial broadcasting.
And it's not just commercial broadcasting.
It's basically mainstream.
Yeah, mainstream media particularly uses that technique.
You know, when I'm at PC Magazine, We actually analyzed this one.
The magazine was huge and thick.
And it would essentially create an environment of openness because it would be a lot of new information.
And as that new information was flowing to everybody and they were learning things and their mind was adapting itself for learning because there's a lot to learn, especially in the early days of computing, that's the time you can really pound them with advertising because you can get people, you know, they're in a learning mode so the next thing you know they're reading advertising as though it was, you know, gospel that they're learning.
Really, we can never do this show, and we never will do this show commercially.
This has to be done with donations.
At MTV, we actually had a coach come in.
This is early days MTV, when it was no longer owned by Time Warner.
No, it was Viacom.
And the coach would come in and help us with the art of the tease.
And the idea was to, of course, that's the way it was sold to us, but I think the true meaning was something else, what we were just talking about, is to get people to come, to stay with the entire commercial, which is the real programming, of course, to stay with all the commercials, to wait to come back for the big reveal.
This isn't what the cliffhangers are about.
This is, oh, I was watching Minute to Win It.
Have you seen this show?
No, I've never heard of it.
It's actually a pretty good idea.
It's basically pub games where you have to do all kinds of wacky things you might do in the pub in England.
I think it must be a British format.
And then, you know, will he make it?
Will he be able to blow all of the cards off of the bottleneck except for the Joker?
Oh!
Oh!
And right at the reveal, of course, they break away to commercial.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah, but we actually trained.
We were trained to do that.
And the training was not to like, ooh, let's watch more music videos.
You know, what could it be?
New Kids on the Block at number one again?
No, no one gives a crap about that at Viacom.
They want to make sure you see all the Skittles commercials in the meantime.
You know what really annoys me more than, you know, doing something like that on MTV is the fact that the news providers do that.
So you're watching the 6 o'clock news and they say, what new product could kill you?
And then they come back and they don't tell you.
They put it off.
After this break, we're going to tell you what that product is.
They do another one.
And then Meet the Press is good too.
Near the end there, they always have like, we'll be right back.
And then David Gregory comes on like, and we'll be right back.
It comes back in between commercials.
They do that on a lot of shows now.
Even Letterman does that, where they take a break, and they get your five commercials in, and then they come back with just nothing.
Just a, hi, we're back, and we're going to go back to commercials, and they go cut back to the commercials.
There must be something, there must be some, either, somebody studied it, and they decided that people, they can only put up with so many commercials in a row, before they, like, brought back reality with a little blip in the middle.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, MSNBC does this constantly.
Oh yeah, they study this all the time.
There's hundreds of millions invested in this type of study and behavioral study.
I know, because they know exactly what your eyes are focusing on on the screen.
This is actually Dutch technology.
They know where your eyes are looking, because you're not always looking at the whole screen.
In fact, you're rarely looking at the whole screen.
You're looking at bits and bobs.
That's why these crawls down at the bottom, like all the news channels do.
Oh, man, don't think you're not reading that.
That information is absolutely getting into your brain, but you're focusing on something else, like the hot chick.
Anyway, so we spend a lot of time in preparing these programs, and against better judgment, we're on the phone with each other a lot.
Too much.
Yeah, way too much.
And let me tell you, you think John's grouchy now?
Talk to him off the air.
And all we want is to provide you some value.
If you think that we've provided you with something that has made you think differently, look at the news differently, look at the world around you differently, then please support us so we can continue to do this and bring you more.
More depressing news.
No, it's not all depressing.
But sometimes we have a once when somebody bails out on us.
They say they can't take it anymore.
Yeah, and I think that's a lot of what I'm going to do on the Daily Source Code is help people to put that into perspective.
It'll be the antidote.
The antidote for no agenda depression.
No agenda depression.
Anyway, who has been kind enough to help us?
Yeah, I know.
Who has been kind enough to help us and support us this week, John?
Well, we have a lot of 55 tens, and let me just read the people from $50 to $99 just as a unit.
John Kelly, George DeHorst, Tom Hickey, Chris Moore, Mark Vandenberg, Brad Menneke, Theodore Thomas, Matthew Morgan, Anthony Farmusa, Nicholas Wallace, Brett Farrell, Scott Lowen, Vernon White, Avery Lee, Frank Agenstadt, I think.
Uwe Huzman.
You have to pronounce that.
Yeah, you've got to spell it for me.
Uwe.
Uwe.
Huzman.
H-U-S-M-A-N-N. H-U-S or H-U-I-S? H-U-S is on here.
Huzman.
Huzman.
Uwe.
He's from Germany, probably.
Yeah, he's a good guy.
Christopher Graham Salvatore Barrera.
And then we have a couple of people that need some special mentioning.
Common Sense Enterprises Tampa, Florida gave us $100.
VJ, now this is an interesting one.
This is 99.73 is a student Indian.
99.73, by the way, is the largest four-digit prime number.
Wait a minute, I thought that the prime numbers were infinite, that you couldn't actually stop.
This is a four-digit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And he's a student, and he says he wants to be the youngest contributor, and he admits that the Indians are cheap.
Tell us something we don't know.
The only Indian who's not cheap is Vivek Kundra, because he spends like it's nobody's business.
Anyway, his last name is Korapati, and I think it's pronounced Korapati.
So it's Vijay Korapati, and I asked him for a pronunciation, but Korapati sounds Indian to me.
So would, yes.
Korapati.
William Hyatt, Springdale, Arkansas, $110.20.
Dennis Cruz out of Beaverton, $165.33.
And I do have some comments that various people wrote in, and I try to summarize.
Our comments sheet, by the way, is getting...
Yeah, we could do a whole show just on comments, right?
Yeah, but Christopher Grimm is 21 years old, and he thinks he's going to be the youngest contributor.
And he's a student.
Salvatore Barrera in Quebec says, the show is too long.
So I said, okay.
Don Carlin wants us to plug a pod show called Common Sense.
Somebody wants us to plug the Common Sense pod show with Don Carlin.
Avery Lee is calling out the entire state of Wyoming as douchebags.
I wasn't ready for that.
Douchebag!
The whole state is a douchebag?
That's what he says.
Oh, man.
And he says...
That's harsh.
As far as he knows, he's the only one who's ever donated from Wyoming.
That's quite possible.
Wyoming's got like a population of 30.
Sam Vanderplanck, who...
Vanderplanck.
Vanderplanck.
One of our regulars.
He wants us to plug noagendapdfs.com.
Which are apparently a PDF's backup of the show notes.
Sefer Aman, he broke up with his girlfriend during spring break and he gave us the money.
Oh, nice.
How much was that?
He's a 5510, I believe.
He had a cheap girlfriend.
He is the third guy, I believe, broke up with their girlfriend and gave us the money.
I would like to see maybe some...
Well, anyway.
Michael Rice wants us to plug the Operanowpodcast.com, and we forgot to mention him before.
And he's been hounding me relentlessly on Twitter.
And then we keep forgetting this ridiculous one.
By the way, I keep telling people it's first in, you know...
Last in, first out.
It's a problem.
Ryan Lee calls out Justin at Moorhead State.
As a...
Douchebag.
Douchebag!
Now, the funny thing is that the two people that call out douchebags in this week, the last name was Lee.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah.
Douchebaglies.
Brian Morris calls out Sean Pechorek as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Spending all his money on guns.
Well, I take that back.
I like that guy.
I don't think we should call him a douchebag.
And people, if you're in Ohio, you might want to look up Second Mile Productions.
We spell the 2ndmileproductions.com.
The guy does wedding movies that are absolutely fantastic.
And that's pretty much it for this week.
Wow.
Okay.
So, it's obvious then.
If that's it, we need your support.
We want to move to this full-time.
You still have three other jobs, John?
Fifty.
Yeah.
We've got to make ends meet.
But we are holding true to some of our promises here, and we are absolutely providing you as much value as possible with the time allotted that you basically purchased for us.
Daily source code back now is now a part of the NoAgendaStream.com, so we'd appreciate you guys wanting that back and supporting the return of the program.
And the way you can help us out is by going to noagendashow.com.
Click on the donate link or just go directly to dvorak.org slash NA. Or for those of you who can't get to that because of child pornography protection initiatives, go to channeldvorak.com slash NA. And if you are...
We're going to donate a larger number if you're going for a knighthood or one of our layaway plans or if you're going to do $333.33 times 3 where we kick any extra penny for your knighthood.
Please also consider signing up for one of our monthlies because that's really where the sustainable base will come from.
And eventually, sometime in the future, it could be enough, you know, just for us to go on.
But I think that's...
I think it's someday.
I also want to mention George Vanderhurst, by the way.
I forgot to mention it some time ago.
But, you know, you mentioned the child pornography...
Because my site's named Dvorak Uncensored.
It gets banned in certain places.
Russia, you can't get to me in Russia and parts of Southeast Asia.
But even though there's never been a naked breast...
Or any nudity whatsoever on this website, I'm going to have to do something of a change.
No, and it's even worse.
I mean, I'm really careful in the show notes.
That's why I put everything under the elites heading, and I change titles of webpages.
Because if you put, you know, like, pedophiles in government, you know, porn, that stuff gets blocked everywhere.
Yeah, you can't even report on the truth anymore.
And by the way, flip on the television and tell me you're going to find any of the information that we've been talking about, about the denoters that Tony Blair put out, about George Bush Sr., the CIA, mind control, child abuse, Boys Town.
Tell me you're going to find that anywhere.
Actually, anything we discuss or analyze, we actually orient it toward You just don't get this kind of analysis anyplace because nobody else...
They can't do it because they're commercially oriented.
You won't be on the air for more than 10 minutes.
You can only do this type of show the way we're doing it.
It's not possible.
I was on the air for about two months doing this in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, and they not only took me off the air, but they took down the station, the entire broadcast organization.
The jazz station went down.
Everything went down.
Boom.
Boom.
No more financing.
And if you watched the last Law& Order that we just listened to pieces of, this idea of getting licensed to do blogging, people have suggested that.
I mean, this actually, what you're listening to now, this show, No Agenda, may actually be a short-term phenomenon.
It's possible.
And so I would say that you want to support us while we...
There's no evidence of this happening tomorrow, but it's just, I think, long term.
I think long term is exactly where it's going.
Bloggers, they should be licensed.
Yeah, this is what ACTA is about.
This is what all of these initiatives are about to create control over the Internet.
And here's an article from the EU Observer.
The Brussels Press Corps, so this is the press corps that is supposed to be, and this is a very interesting article, and it's so well spelled out, has been declining...
But consistently, month over month, year over year, in 2005, there were 1,031 journalists in Brussels, making it the largest foreign press corps in the world, which, by the way, doesn't even seem that big.
1,000 journalists?
We have at least 1,000 producers actually sending us links on a daily basis.
Since then it's dropped steadily.
Now they're down to 860.
The reason why, and this is where you've got to watch it, is the European Union literally floods their website.
Look at eu.int.
They flood it with video and audio and press releases and photographs and electronic press kits.
And so what do all these certainly commercial news organizations do?
It's like, well, hey, you know, they're doing all the work for us.
This is great.
We don't have to send someone there to do some actual reporting.
We'll just sit at home and just be on the web and just copy what they write.
And copy it and use their electronic press kits.
Yeah, well it's cheaper.
Yeah, but of course it's cheaper, but this just goes to show you that the Ministry of Truth is being instituted right here.
It's absolutely happening.
There's just, no one is reporting on this stuff because they're taking what the European Union puts out there as fact.
Oh, well here's the story, here's the...
And they hire talent to do like a news report.
And then they edit that together and said, here it is, and you can use it.
Yeah.
It's a good business.
We'll even put your logo in there.
It's a good business.
Yeah, unfortunately, it may not all be the truth.
Yeah.
Yeah, who cares?
Nobody cares, apparently.
Did you know that...
They wanted the truth that people would say something.
Okay, so here is the best article from the New York Times, which, of course, ever since they got your age wrong, I don't trust them.
Oops.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm actually younger than that.
Yeah, that's right.
Here's the article.
It came out today, or I guess last night.
It should be in the Sunday New York Times.
U.S. turns a blind eye to opium in Afghan town.
There's a picture of U.S. Marines walking through a poppy field, which they decided not to destroy.
John, we just have to go through this article for a moment.
Three or four people emailed this to me.
Let me just go back to my assertion, which I think you're pretty much on board with.
Is that we are in Afghanistan for a number of reasons.
One of them is for the poppy trade, is for heroin, which is being sent.
And this has been documented.
People have been killed over investigating this, which is being sent on military transport planes right back to the United States.
Heroin is at an all-time low in price.
It's a great cheap drug, but there's billions of dollars being made on it.
And I believe that a lot of what our...
Service men and women are there for, and certainly a lot of the consultants, is to protect this trade.
So, here's the article.
The effort to win over Afghans on former Taliban turf in Marja.
Remember, this is the big surge.
This is the center of it all.
Which is where 70% of all, and even more, I think, of all poppy is cultivated.
Has put American and NATO commanders in the unusual position of arguing against opium eradication.
Oh!
Wait a minute!
So, we took over this town and now we're not going to get rid of the poppies.
Now, I wonder why.
Well, from General Stanley A. McChrystal on down, the military's position is clear.
U.S. forces no longer eradicate opium.
As one NATO official put it.
Opium is the main livelihood of 60-70% of the farmers in Marja.
Yeah, like, we didn't know that.
Which was seized from Taliban rebels in a major offensive last month.
American Marines occupied the area are under orders to leave the farmers' fields alone.
Because, of course, we don't want to take away their livelihood.
Well, of course, you're reading, you know, you're kind of reading, I mean, we've been, six months ago, nine months ago, a year ago, we have already deconstructed the fact that this was going on, and now the New York Times has finally picked it up for some unknown reason.
I think we should be looking at it as why this story is running in the first place.
Well, I think what's, well, maybe the answer is here.
Because we were a little bit off on our timing.
Now, when the 30,000 troops were approved by the President, the first thing we said was, yeah, it's time for the harvest.
So we need to protect and we need some extra farmhands.
And here in the New York Times, there is little time left to find an answer.
Two-thirds of marja fields are now blooming with tall red poppies and the forthcoming harvest would provide work for thousands of Afghans from outside the area because it is so labor-intensive.
I can't believe they're running this story.
Yes, now tell me we aren't right.
This is exactly what we said.
The harvest is coming.
We need to have the troops over there.
They telegraphed the surge.
They said, we're coming, we're coming, we're coming to help you with the harvest.
And there it is.
It's now in the New York Times.
It gets better.
The Helmand province produces more than half of Afghanistan's opium harvest, with 22% of its arable land devoted to poppies.
Even after Governor Mangal's forces eradicated a third of the crop last year, his province was awarded a $10 million Good Performers Initiative grant by the American Embassy.
What the hell is that?!
A Good Performers Initiative grant of $10 million?
Yeah, it's $10 million for whatever the hell it is.
Oh my god.
Afghanistan now produces 90% of the world's opium, and one way or another, the opium trade supports an estimated 1.4 million households in the country, which has a population of 25 million to 30 million.
It also provides enormous amounts of money to the Taliban.
So anyway, now they're fighting each other.
So one half is like, well, of course we can't really have the poppies going because that's like making heroin and the heroin's killing people in our country.
And on the other hand, we can't be helping the Taliban make money.
So I'm guessing, by the way, that the part that was burned was Taliban heroin or Taliban opium.
Right.
And they didn't burn down all the fields.
They're standing right in front of one of them.
They just burned down some of them, which are probably the ones that Taliban were collecting.
Yeah, and they kept their own.
Yes, it's called protecting your turf.
It's very normal.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
And, uh, just to, uh, I'm not going to say all of these are, uh, machine generated.
I'd just like to give you a little earthquake report for a moment here.
And by the way, um, a scientist from Innsbruck, Australia, uh, just to show you that I'm not the only kook out there.
Innsbruck political scientist Claudia von Werloff has accused the USA of being behind the Haitian earthquake in January.
It emerged on Tuesday.
According to a report, which I have links here, Werloff said that machines at a military research center in Alaska used to detect deposits of crude oil by causing artificial earthquakes, which is what HAARP is all about, Might have been intentionally set off to cause the Haitian earthquake and enable the USA to send 10,000 soldiers into the country, which actually I think is closer to 20 now.
Ferdinand Karlhofer, the head of the Innsbruck Political Science Institute, where von Verlof works, has slammed her comments.
He says, such conspiracy theory has no scientific basis.
Her claim would damage the reputation of the institute abroad.
But this is interesting, because if you look at her bio...
And I have it linked here.
Hold on a second.
She's no slouch.
Professor of Women's Studies at the Institute of Political Science, University of Innsbruck, works about this, studied economic sociology in Cologne and Hamburg, followed a doctoral fellowship in Central America, assistant lecturer at Sciences University of Frankfurt.
I mean, she's done a lot of stuff.
She's not just your run-of-the-mill kook.
Yeah, she's not like us.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why I bring it up.
So I give myself a little more credit here.
So, here's what we've seen.
Volcano erupted in Iceland last night.
Oh, the one over by Westman Islands?
Which one?
The old classic?
Yeah, I think it's the old classic, and now everyone's worried about it.
And of course, Iceland right now...
I mean, you know, you may say it could be coincidence.
Coincidence?
I think not!
But Iceland says, hey, we're not going to pay you Dutch and British back for the commercial banks.
We're not going to do that.
Oh, no?
Well, let's show you what some fire looks like, bitches.
Reykjavik.
Volcano erupted near a glacier in southern Iceland.
That's the one?
I don't know.
I don't know the name of it.
Anyway, so people are worried that a big eruption is coming.
Then we have, let's see.
Oh, this was nice.
The 5.6 magnitude quake right near Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
That's an interesting one.
Yeah, I guess.
So they could shuffle things around.
5.6, I mean, that's not even an earthquake.
But here's the thing that I like the most.
Now, of course, my assertion is that the United States is not the only one with a harp array with an earthquake machine.
There's a lot of switch flicking going on.
It's like, oh, yeah, hey, you watch this.
Oh, yeah, it's like Rock'em Sock'em Robots.
Like, you know, hey, let me watch.
Hey, hold on.
Oh, you don't think we can't mess with L.A.? Watch this.
We'll give you a 4.4 there.
So now, of course...
L.A. has earthquakes constantly.
Shut up.
Yeah, sure it does.
They're all over the place.
Just coincidentally, it's all happening now.
Here's the point.
This is a news report because, of course, we know where this HarperA is located, so it's not very hard to predict that the Chinese or someone else is eventually going to zap Alaska.
And with deadly earthquakes hitting around the world, many are wondering, could a massive quake strike Alaska?
And if so, when?
As CBS 11's Andrea Gusti tells us, another quake just as bad, if not worse, is in store for our state.
What?
Haiti, Chile, Japan.
All had massive earthquakes within the last few months, leaving hundreds dead and thousands more homeless.
Experts say we need to be ready to brace for much worse.
Just listing the magnitude 8 and higher quakes that we've had here in Alaska.
This is Bill Knight from the Tsunami Warning Center.
They occur once every 15 years.
So that means we're due.
Well, you can look at it that way.
The 1964 Good Friday quake...
So, bringing a couple things into this, the 1964 Good Friday quake, which I guess we're coming up on Good Friday...
So they're saying, well, it's about time for a new one.
Yeah, duh, you keep flipping on the Alaska Harper Ray.
Of course they're going to try and zap you out of the water.
So the guy you just heard talking is from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Information Center, which I'd never heard of.
I'd never heard of a tsunami before 2004.
It used to be called something else, I guess.
So they've got a website up.
And so there's a guy who just said, oh yeah, well we're due for one.
It could be pretty big and we could have a huge tsunami.
We all can die.
And it turns out they have an exercise on March 24th.
Oh, the exercise is always bad news.
Oh yeah, the tsunami response exercise March 24th, 2010.
It's a couple of days from now.
Yeah, it is a couple of days from now.
Where's the exercise going to be?
Well, there's a whole PDF, which I read through last night, which was kind of interesting because they even have a subsection there that says what we do.
So, you know, they have all the codes and how it's like a tabletop exercise, etc.
And they're going to simulate a magnitude 9.0 earthquake generated south of the Alaska Peninsula.
Which they say, of course, you know, could fire off all kinds of tsunamis all the way to the west coast of California, everything.
But they even have a subsection in there that says, what happens, what to do if an actual earthquake strikes during the exercise, which I thought was kind of interesting.
Wow.
Yeah.
But then I want you to take a look at this site, John, because this will make you laugh to no end.
For those of you online, I'm going to paste this in the chat room right now because you get a laugh out of what jabronis these guys are.
It's WCATWC.ARH.NOAA.GOV. It's a pretty sad site, but it's kind of what the NOAA sites look like.
You got the site up, John?
Yeah.
Okay, so you see there, tsunami response exercise March 24th, and it has new tsunami videos.
Now, here's the kicker.
The link there that says, click on the virtual earthquake to experience a virtual earthquake.
Click on that link, John, and be prepared.
I'm not seeing that link.
Down below, at the bottom of the page.
I got new tsunami videos.
Underneath that, keep going down.
Click on virtual earthquake.
Are you ready?
Are you sitting down?
Give me a countdown.
Okay.
Are you ready for the virtual earthquake, John?
It's been nice knowing you.
Hit it.
It says waiting.
Waiting for earthquake.
What?
There it is.
What is this?
Just a bunch of photos.
What?
It didn't...
It didn't...
It should happen now.
Is it doing the browser shake?
No, it's not doing anything.
You're kidding me!
No.
Oh.
Well, do you...
What I have is a picture of a cracked earth.
Yeah, and then what happened...
Oh, you have to...
It says click me, John!
Oh, jeez.
That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
They show you a picture of a cracked earth.
You click on ClickMe and it does one of those browser shakes.
Yeah, some JavaScript thing.
Are these guys out of their mind?
That is about as lame as anything I've ever seen on the internet.
Coming from a government site.
And how is that a virtual earthquake?
It's a virtual, like, something's wrong with your monitor.
It's completely stupid, is what it is.
That is bad.
Okay.
I think that you win this week.
Yeah.
I won last week, too.
That piece of crap.
Anyway...
Okay, well we'll keep an eye out.
So by next Thursday we should have...
But then the best quote of the week...
Now you know about the Louisiana Purchase, right?
Yeah, the one for healthcare.
Right.
The bribes.
So, I guess it's on Fox.
Some douchebag is interviewing the president.
And then listen to what the president says about the Louisiana Purchase.
This is very interesting.
Hold on a second.
I don't know which ones are still in, is my question.
That also, well I'm giving you an example of one that I consider important.
It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake.
So, that's not just the Louisiana.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we got this before.
Hey, but wait a minute!
It's just a slip of the tongue.
What did he mean to say, then?
What did he mean to say, Haiti?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
So, how does the healthcare help Haiti?
You tell me.
I think that's the more interesting challenge to the deconstruction of that comment.
That's weird.
By the way, all of these videos you can find at noagendatv.com.
I promise to give a plug because the guy does a lot of work and he puts all of these videos that are in the show notes, he puts them into one place.
You can basically have your own personal television play out.
You can have your own personal depressing channel.
Of amazing crap that you just can't believe it.
So the Red Cross...
Just while we're on Haiti for a second, then I'll shut up because you've got some clips.
They've announced, very proud, they collected $255 million for Haiti relief effort, but they only spent $80 million of it.
And do you know why, John?
Because Clinton needed a new pair of shoes.
According to the website for the Red Cross...
On those rare occasions when donations exceed Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.
You know, since the Loma Prieta earthquake here in the California area, which is in 86 or 89, I can't remember which, and even before that, the Red Cross has been pulling this crap from the get-go.
And that comment that they just made there, I have heard that comment for over 25 years.
And nobody seems to remember it.
I mean, that's why I was upset when you started saying it, because, oh man, I've heard this a million times.
That's why you've got to give your money to people like, you know, Doctors Without Borders.
And other, you know, legitimate...
The Red Cross is not illegitimate, but they have a big slush fund and you give them money, it's not going necessarily where you want it to go.
Just from Eric, he picked something up here.
George W. Bush in a...
The U.S. government has told the Texas court Pope Benedict XVI should be given immunity from a lawsuit accusing him of conspiring to cover up the sexual molestation of three boys.
I guess George Bush helped the Pope get immunity.
Anyway, makes sense.
Yeah, they're all in it together.
Immunity.
Pedophile government.
Make me sick, all of you.
The Pope has his own country.
He doesn't need immunity from anyone.
Yeah, where you can screw boys legally if they're older than 12.
It's disgusting.
Ugh.
All right.
Pick me up, John.
So let's go change gears here since we're getting near the end.
I want to have a couple quick comments.
Oops.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Oh, sorry.
So I'm watching Bill Maher.
Ugh.
After we already debunked him having a laugh track?
You're still watching that crack?
Well, now I was listening to see what kind of laugh track he was going to use on this show.
But here's the only thing.
There's two things that I noticed.
One is we've got to really get into this a little more, because this term came up.
Clean water crisis.
Clean water crisis?
Yeah, there's a clean water crisis.
Yeah, the crisis is that there's 300 chemicals in our water, including fluoride and other crap that is being put in it by our municipal water suppliers.
Yeah, I don't think that's what they're talking about.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Now, here's the thing that got me, and I could have clipped it or whatever.
In fact, I should have, but I didn't bother.
He brought some guy on.
He has his extra guests when he does a little round table thing.
And the guy starts talking about Oxfam, and Bill Maher is flabbergasted.
He says, Oxfam, what's that?
Oh, that's the huge UK-based...
Huge.
It's huge.
Yeah.
And I was stunned that Bill Maher, this, you know, erudite, you know, universalist, liberal, had never heard of one of the most liberal organizations in the world, and one of the biggest.
Oxfam, and he started mocking it as a stupid name, you know, it was hilarious to watch.
Really?
Wow.
Yeah.
It was like completely out to lunch.
It was hilarious.
Oxfam also takes...
I kind of like what they do.
They take your old crap, and they have these shops, and then poor people can go and buy it for like a pound.
They're all over, yeah, all over England anyway.
So the other thing I thought was interesting that I observed, I was watching Hannity, and they're trying to get Sarah Palin to be an analyst, and she can't do it.
Do you have a death wish, man?
That's really bad for your health, all this crap you're watching.
Bill Maher, Hannity...
So they put Sarah Palin calling in from Alaska, and she comes in, she does a bunch of cliches, you know, America's for the Americans, and all these kinds of things.
But the thing is, they're doing a satellite link or something, and they have this huge, unbelievable echo, and it sounds like she's not only in a bucket, but she's in a bucket with an echo box hooked to it.
So it's like, So it just sounds like crap.
And so they cut to a commercial.
I figure, well, I hope they fix that.
They come back to her.
They haven't fixed anything.
It was like Fox.
What are they paying these guys five bucks an hour at the Fox company to be the engineers?
It was unbelievable.
Anyway, that was just a pet peeve of mine based on the fact that they have the money to spend.
All right.
So Bill Maher.
That's all I had to say.
I thought you had an audio clip you wanted to play.
No, no, I said, yeah, I do, but not Bill Maher.
Let's play some other stuff.
I've got a couple of things here that just a side note, a little lighter stuff.
There was the television and radio correspondence dinner.
Like, last week.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This is not the big one.
This is not the Washington White House Correspondents Dinner.
This is the second-rate one.
And so, in this case, it was on St.
Patrick's Day.
In this case, Obama went to talk to some Irishmen and Biden, who seemed to me to be drunk.
He takes one to know one.
Oh, yeah.
And so, he seemed to be drunk, and he was like...
Trying to be funny.
And then you can really see, because I have some Obama clips from the other event, you can really see the fact that O'Biden is not funny.
He needs a laugh track is what he means.
He needs a laugh track.
But the curious thing was is that he had an interesting little remark at the very end of this commentary that I thought was...
I hate to use the word telling, but it was very interesting when you hear it.
You go, whoa!
Anyway, play dinner?
Yeah.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to be here with you tonight.
I just got back from five days in the Middle East.
I love to travel.
But it's great to be back in a place where a booming housing construction is actually a good thing.
Alright, so that's a joke about Israel building new houses in East Jerusalem?
I guess, or, you know.
Yeah, alright.
You know, trying to negotiate...
Who's attending this dinner?
Well, there's a lot of people.
The place is packed, and it's mostly all the TV people, radio people.
Right, this is their drinking club.
It's like, hey, thanks for being on board with the program.
Thanks for using our electronic press kits.
Here, have a great dinner and some great wine on us, and we're all buddies, and let's hang out and be cool together.
We're ruling the world.
Also, I think a lot of the anchors and people like that would all be in there.
Same thing.
It's like, hey, how you doing?
Thanks for helping us out.
You guys doing a great job.
Great job, everybody.
Right.
It's like a developers conference.
Well, that's what you just said is what relates to the final comment at the end, which I just thought was pretty funny.
A lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis are tough, but it was a hell of a nice break from health care.
I understand Liz Cheney's in the house.
I'm glad to see Dad's doing well, Liz.
I called her when her dad was in the hospital, but Liz has been on a tear leaf.
Now she's questioning if Tom Brady is a real patriot.
What the hell?
It's worth a try, guys.
What?
Where's the what?
The tribe?
No, he said, what the hell?
It's worth a try, guys, because he got no laughs from that stupid line.
Let me help him out.
Let me help him out.
She's questioning if Tom Brady is a real patriot.
What the hell?
It's worth a try, guys.
It's worth a try.
Look, by the way, happy St.
Patrick's Day to all of you.
You know, the truth is...
The truth is, I can't believe I'm here with you guys tonight.
Here I am, the first Irish Catholic Vice President in the history of the United States of America.
Barack Obama is the first African American in the history of the United States of America.
He's hosting a St.
Patrick's Day dinner and I'm here with you all.
Go figure.
He's with my face, I'm with his.
Uh-huh.
Unbelievable.
I think you just nailed it.
It's a developer's conference.
I am with his.
Yeah, no, totally.
It's a developer's conference.
Meanwhile...
That was really funny, Jar.
Yeah, thanks.
So meanwhile, I want to...
It's enough of that.
So meanwhile, I want to contrast...
The one thing about Obama that I think we have to admit...
He has an amazing...
He could be a stand-up comic.
And I presume that his material...
See, Biden probably wrote his own material, because that's the kind of douchebag he is.
Like, I can handle this.
I got my jokes.
I know what's funny.
I know what's funny.
But I think Obama has, like, some...
Like, Aaron Sorkin.
Oh, he's got some writers.
He's got some really good writers.
But...
He delivers.
He delivers.
He absolutely delivers.
He delivers with good timing.
The timing is good.
And so play Obama dinner, and then we'll play Obama dinner too, which is his, you know, two of his gags, and you can compare them to Biden's lame material.
Someone actually discovered my Irish lineage when I was running for president.
And my first thought was, why didn't anybody discover this when I was running for office in Chicago?
I don't understand that one.
Because there's a big Irish contingent in Chicago, he thinks.
Even though Chicago's known for its Polish, Jewish, and...
Yeah, Polish in particular, and Norwegian even.
Yeah, well, and there's a lot of Mexicans there now, but anyway.
Ha ha ha.
But the timing was good, and you can just hear the way he follows it up.
Of course, you interrupted the gag, so the timing is not what it would normally be.
But he follows it up with a kicker that is just extremely well-timed.
It's also a day to thank the Irish people for all that they've done for America.
The truth is, they weren't always welcomed.
There were times where the Irish were caricatured and stereotyped and cursed at and blamed for society's ills, so naturally it was a good fit for them to go into politics.
Okay, that's pretty funny.
Yeah, you know, I mean, it's well done compared to, well, Biden's kind of meandering, stumbling.
Anyway, so that was what I wanted to play.
Now, we do have a clip for the end of the show I want to mention in advance.
There's been this debate on the floor of Congress about the health care, and the Democrats keep wanting to do these idiotic...
In the case of this one, it's Jackie Speier from California who is...
Trying to name a post office in Ohio after some DMV employee who was also a community organizer and needs a post office named after him.
And this goes on and on.
And I want to play at the end of the show and people can listen to it then and see how crazy it is.
Because people are debating health care and she's trying to talk about this.
It was absolutely astonishing to me.
And the last little item I've got here, which is the...
The MSNBC, and it's particularly Rachel Maddow in this particular clip, she has a giggle in there that is like, whoa.
Oh, frightening.
You know I hate her.
You know I hate her.
Oh, wait, we have another Biden clip here, John.
Developers, developers, developers, developers.
We have the Maddox thing.
They went out, you know, the story we did a couple weeks back about the potential for U.S. fishers, you know, Yeah, the fishing ban.
Yeah.
Well, apparently ESPN, they got a lot of flack for bringing this up because nobody actually signed anything.
And it was just a speculative article this guy was writing based on what happened in Canada, where they did ban certain kinds of hunting.
And so MSNBC decides to, I guess Rush Limbaugh and the other right-wing talkers got all over this.
So she decides to bring out her hitman to do a piece blasting all the right-wingers who took this story seriously.
Not even right-wingers.
We took it as bullcrap.
No, I still take it seriously, and I'll tell you why after this little piece runs.
But once you run the longer, it's actually a little lengthy.
You might want to interrupt it a couple of times.
The MSNBC blasts fishing story.
Fish?
I do not understand this person's sign.
For clarification, I asked our contemporary angling correspondent, Kent Jones, to look into it.
Kent, please help.
I'll try, Rachel.
You know, as conservatives keep proving over and over again, there's no conspiracy theory involving President Obama that's too far over the top.
And this one is this big.
You know, I have to interrupt it right here.
Just the whole fact that, how often do you hear this now?
People always saying, oh, this conspiracy theory.
It's rife now.
It's almost becoming a new meme.
Oh, conspiracy theory.
Oh, that's just a conspiracy theory.
It's a conspiracy theory.
You know, the problem is that this term is being misused because of conspiracy theories.
It supplies a number of people working together to get something to happen, and it has to be very secretive.
I've had people say, well, the CEO of this company decides he's going to fire everybody who's a Mexican.
And some say, oh, that's just a conspiracy theory.
No, it's not.
If the CEO of one guy is going to fire a bunch, where's the conspiracy?
You have to have two, three, twenty people involved.
If one person's going to do something, it's not a conspiracy under any circumstances.
How can it be a conspiracy theory?
Anyway.
So the conspiracy theory here, first of all, is the fact that the water rights of the entire United States are now pretty much being taken over by the government.
And they own all water.
reported on that extensively.
And Hillary Clinton is a big part of that, making the oceans no longer the people's property but the property of the United Nations.
Right.
And by the way, we consist of 90% of water.
Oh, my God.
Oh my god.
I wasn't ready for it.
Oh, let me do that again.
Oh, that scared me.
Obama, that's too far over the top.
And this one is this big.
Barack Obama wants to stop you...
This fish story started with an ESPN Outdoors column that said that the federal government had a strategy in the works that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal waters, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.
Swarm conservative media piranhas.
Fresh blood!
Gateway Pundit ran this headline.
Obama's latest assault on freedom.
New regulations will ban sport fishing.
Adding, Barack Obama has a message for America's 60 million anglers.
We don't need you.
Red State gave us, Obama, the will of the people be damned.
I'll decide who can go fishing.
Michelle Malkin decided on Obama's war on fishing?
Right on cue, Glenn Beck said this...
I told you a year ago this would happen.
I'm not some prophet by any stretch of the imaginations.
People are losing their rights.
Who's more important, the fish or you?
Alert!
Alert!
Glenn Beck, not a prophet.
And Rush Limbaugh, imitating Obama, said, You can't touch me.
I can stop you from going fishing wherever you want.
I can do whatever I want to do.
There she blows!
Wow, this Obama hates fishing story is amazing!
You know, what's interesting is they're not actually debunking the story.
They're just saying all these people who are saying this is true are idiots.
I mean, there's a minute left of this clip.
Do they actually go into any proof that it's not true?
They got the woman who's ahead of this part of the wildlife department or whatever to say something, and that's where it gets interesting.
Finish it off and you'll see.
If only it were, you know, true!
True!
A red-faced ESPN was forced to admit, quote, we made several errors in the editing and presentation of this installment.
Oops!
But the feeding frenzy was already in full swing, so much so that the administration had to go on a debunking mission to tell people what they were actually doing, which was drafting plans for a new ocean policy and marine planning system.
That's it.
Dr.
Jane Lubchenco, chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, had this to say to one jittery Republican congressman who asked about the ban on fishing at a hearing.
We are not proposing any blanket ban on recreational fishing.
I would strongly oppose that, and that is not in the works.
Got that?
Undeterred, the Fox Nation website is still linking to the discredited...
What is that?
That has no background on any legislation.
It's just some broad going, it ain't true.
That's not what she said, though.
The thing that's interesting about that, if you parse it...
Let me play it again.
You don't have to play it again.
I actually have the clip separated out.
Oh.
I already rewound it.
Let me play it again.
You're right.
We are not proposing any blanket ban on recreational fishing.
I would strongly oppose that, and that is not in the works.
Okay.
Okay.
She didn't say we're not going to ban fishing.
She says they're not going to have a blanket ban.
That means all fishing.
I would strongly oppose that.
I would strongly oppose banning all fishing for all time.
We are not proposing any blanket ban on recreational fishing.
I would strongly oppose that, and that is not in the works.
Got it.
So she slips in that little weasel word, blanket ban.
I said there was not going to be a blanket ban.
Oh, we're just going to ban fishing in this river and that river.
No, we're just going to ban fishing in Lake Michigan.
We're going to ban fishing in Lake Erie.
We're going to ban fishing on the Pacific Coast.
But that's not a blanket ban because you can still fish over here at Salt Lake.
Here in this puddle.
So there's no blanket ban.
Now, let's go to the other little error they threw in there.
ESPN admitting that it made mistakes in editing and presentation.
What their admission was that the editing part is up for grabs.
It was not presented as a blogger's opinion.
This is a blogger.
And they apparently did not make it clear enough that this was a blog and not a news story, even though it feared to me to be a blog.
But I guess the public, you know, that was all pointed to it from, you know, the various right-wingers.
I don't know what a blog is.
You know, made the mistake of thinking this is a news story.
And maybe MSNBC did, too, thinking that was presented as such.
I didn't think so.
I thought it was a blog.
I thought it was an interesting story.
position the guy took.
It was extrapolating from what happened in Canada to what new laws are going to be.
And they say there's going to be a new Some new law.
I forgot what it's called for waterways.
And so, you know, so this guy said, here, what's next?
Fishing ban on fishing, which we talked about.
So meanwhile, MSNBC, I guess, got the word to, like, slam everybody who had anything to do with this and get it off the front page.
And so now it's disappeared.
But the fact of the matter is, it still used to say blanket ban.
And I think there's something's up with this, with whatever they're up to here.
I'm not sure what it is, but it doesn't look good.
Well, there's a lot of weird stuff going on with public land.
There's a good report here, I have a link in the show notes, noagendashow.com, about the National Forest Service planting secret cameras around camping sites on basically public land, publicly owned land.
And they're being real cagey about it.
And they're not even admitting they're doing it, but apparently this camper was out with his daughter or two daughters, and he found a wire in the ground, and it was a really remote camping site, and it led to a hidden camera.
And this camera, which by the way is being sold as great for law enforcement, With a flash drive recorder.
It's the PV-700, I think, from Samsung.
So we started calling up Forest Service and said, yeah, that's ours.
Bring it over here, slave.
And he starts asking around and they emailed a statement like, our officers use a variety of techniques to apprehend individuals who break laws in the national forest.
So they've got cameras everywhere.
Wow, if you see a camera, it sounds like a nice cheap way to get a webcam.
A good one, too.
Yeah, geez.
That's pretty amazing to me.
Yeah, well, that's part of the way things are going.
I want to do one more clip before we end the show, which is a Brian Williams LAX story.
This is a little lengthy.
I don't want to play the whole thing, but I do want to mention that there seems to be a new trick.
There's two pieces of information in here that I thought were interesting.
Just play the beginning and we'll get into it.
Okay, hold on a second.
Let me just make sure I'm doing this right.
Here we go.
At LAX in Los Angeles today, air travel was disrupted for a time because of another so-called security breach.
When was this?
I was at LAX yesterday.
This was like last week.
It turned out a wheelchair passenger left behind a bottle of liquid medication at a screening area and three terminals were shut down for about a half hour so the woman could be located.
It's gonna blow!
It's gonna blow, I tell ya!
It's liquid!
Oh no!
Liquid!
Liquid!
So many of us who fly routinely wonder, isn't there a better way to use technology in place of things like shoe removal and that clear glass penalty box to make the skies safe?
That's a good characterization, by the way.
I like the penalty box.
You'll have to play the rest of the clip and let me explain what happened.
Okay.
First of all, I have to look into this now because my understanding was they're using terahertz waves to penetrate the clothes.
And according to this report, they're actually using a very small amount of radiation, x-rays.
Because even when they show the thing working, it says x-ray on.
And by the way, if you refuse to go through, which I've done, and they ask you why, and you say, well, you know, I don't know if it's good for my health.
I'm reading reports all the time of the TSA saying, yeah, I don't blame you.
Who knows?
I wouldn't go through it.
Well, there's two pieces of information that came out of this.
One, although they showed a real picture that it takes under Brian's when they had the pop-in graphic, but when they showed the guy giving the report at the airport and they kept pointing to the images, he says it looked like a chalk.
All they do is make a chalk outline, and then they show the picture, and it's like an outline, a complete outline with nothing else.
So what can you see?
You can't see anything, but the point is they're trying to make it so the public doesn't realize what kind of pictures these things are taking.
So they had a bogus picture.
It was an outline.
Look at that cartoon.
Which we know that's not what it does.
So the other thing was that they brought in all these experts.
Well, you know, it's not as bad.
It's like one five thousandth is as bad as if you got a CAT scan over your stomach.
Which, by the way, is also very dangerous.
We heard a doctor say one in a thousand CAT scans actually winds up killing someone 15 years later.
Yeah.
So CAT scans are bad, but they kept coming up with this, oh, it's only you'd have to go through this thing 5,000 times to get a year's dose of radiation.
Oh, prove that.
So, well, let's assume that's even true.
Here's the interesting part.
They show how this thing works.
They got the radiation going through and it's going all over the place.
What about the TSA guys who are standing there through 5,000 people going through the thing on a day-to-day basis for maybe, say, every couple days.
5,000 people go through it, let's say, every three days.
Are the TSA guys around this unit getting irradiated?
Because the stuff, if it doesn't hit something, it goes through.
I don't see that they're using leaded glass, and I don't see lead all over the place.
You know, it's a plastic box, and it looks cheesy, and it's got to be bouncing this radiation, even though it's not that much of it, all over the place.
So everybody standing around the device is getting blasted.
From all the stuff that's missing the person standing inside.
And so these TSA guys are putting themselves at huge risk to get, really, a very high dose of radiation over a year, let's say, being in the vicinity.
And I guarantee, this is a prediction from the show, somebody can write it down if they want to.
I guarantee there's going to be a class action lawsuit on the part of the TSA suing their own government for putting them in harm's way in this situation.
The whole thing's just bad every which way.
I mean, who's running this place?
Well, the people who are running it are the same people who are now going to put drones in the sky to protect our borders, as Janet Napolitano said Friday in a letter to the governor of Texas.
Yeah, we're going to protect the border by putting some drones in the sky.
This is the beginning.
Unarmed, supposedly.
Yeah, but it's the same drones, I presume.
And here's the way that scenario works out.
You put the drones up there and all of a sudden something really bad happens, which the drones capture on video.
So, you know, if the drones were only armed, stop this horrible situation.
So there'll be a false flag thing that happens with a drone watching where somebody gets killed or murdered or something that could have been stopped.
And so they're going to load their drones up with a good excuse.
You know, they'll probably be involving, you know, something, some, you know, pornography ring.
Right.
Oh, someone is naked there!
If only we had it armed.
If only we could shoot them out of the, just blow them away because they're spreading pornography by being naked.
I mean, the scenarios are so obvious at this point.
It is, it is.
And why do we just sit and take it?
Why?
Why do we do that?
Well, it's the media.
Follow the media and the educational system.
It is the media.
Please support your independent media.
Please, like us.
But please support independent media.
It's really important.
Otherwise, you'll never be able to make your own choices and decisions.
I just want to run through a couple of financial things real quick, John, since we didn't do a lot of them.
So Greece is still very much at play.
There's a huge cabal going on between basically Berlin, who doesn't really want to bail anybody out, and of course there's the Lisbon Treaty that says no single state can bail out another state.
So we either all bond together and bail Greece out, which means we'll have to bail out Spain and Portugal and Italy and Ireland.
Or they need to go to the IMF, which is essentially the banks, right?
This is the elite families who own the IMF. The economic hit is who they are.
Totally.
And I love the fact that the prolific programmer got into a whole email thread with me about...
The IMF, oh no, this is by government decree.
Please, go look at your history.
Of course, he works for the Federal Reserve, but I don't understand.
Now, you'll recall the Bloomberg reporter who died under mysterious circumstances, which I'd basically call two to the head.
He's the one that filed the lawsuit against the Federal Reserve that they had to report on the $2 trillion That they essentially loaned out and wouldn't tell the US public who owns it, who owns that money, who they gave it to, Now the Federal Reserve Board must disclose documents, according to Bloomberg, identifying the financial firms that might have collapsed without the largest U.S. government bailout ever.
This is $2 trillion.
As the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled today, the Fed, this is on, I think, Friday, ruled the Fed must release records of the $2 trillion U.S. loan program launched after the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
So this is a win.
This is, like, positive.
Oh, yeah.
You want to put five bucks and they don't ever see a document that's either accurate or see one at all?
Well, it'll have to go.
I guess the next step is the Supreme Court.
That's the next place it has to go.
They won't hear it.
They won't hear it?
That's my guess.
Well, but then they have to adhere to it.
Don't they?
Who's going to enforce it?
I'm just saying.
Well, the people will have to enforce it.
How's that going to happen?
But what's really interesting is the banks who are jumping on the side of the Federal Reserve and saying, no, they shouldn't.
Because what the Federal Reserve says is, well, if people knew who was getting this money, then they'd have no trust in those banks.
So this is how transparent it is.
There's the Clearinghouse Association, which processes payments for banks.
And they said, oh, no, no, this can't happen.
It'll be really bad.
So who's in this association?
AB and Amro Bank, Fine Dutch Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC Holdings, JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bancorp, and Wells Fargo.
Yeah, well that tells you what.
You know what it tells me?
It tells me that the reason they don't want to reveal this information is not because of banks.
Oh, they make you worry about your bank.
It's because it's going to turn out that most of that money went overseas to the Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank, and all the money went to bail out the Bank of Scotland.
The same guys who mocked us when the economic collapse began.
And may I just remind people of one thing?
Because this actually came up in conversation the other day offline.
Someone said, well, you know, but if the banks collapse, that would be really bad.
I said, let's make a little distinction between what's a bank and a bank.
So you have a bank, like your retail bank, or John, like you and I use a small bank, which, by the way, took no TARP money.
And they hold your money in the bank, and you write checks, and they're basically a financial institution that works at retail level with your bank.
And then you have a bank like Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers, which are investment banks.
It's very confusing because the word bank is still in there.
These are basically companies that make money with money.
And the most money is made by themselves because they trade shares in their own institution.
They're just money-making machines.
They didn't actually hold any, and they probably don't hold any retail money.
It's like you invest in those companies to go make more money with your money.
But what Bernanke, what's actually, before Bernanke, come on, what's his name?
Crazy.
Goldfarb.
Yeah, that guy.
Goldfarb.
That's not his name.
What he did is...
Goldfarb.
Secretary of the Treasury before Timmy Geithner.
He allowed those banks to change their charter to become essentially retail banks so they could take this money from the Federal Reserve.
But they're not a bank like a bank that holds your money.
They're an investment bank.
And if those are going bankrupt, so what?
They go bankrupt.
Who cares?
It's just a business.
You know, it's like, who cares if a bunch of rich bankers go out of business?
I don't care.
You know, you win some, lose some.
But now, and this is the most mind-blowing thing, and you have to read through the Federal Reserve website and really carefully to understand it, but I've broken it down in the show notes.
So the way a bank works is, what we have worldwide, I think, is a fractional reserve system, which means you only need to hold, I think the regulation is, what is it, 10%?
I don't know.
They keep changing it.
They want to change it again.
Well, here's what they want to change.
So the way it works is you deposit $100 and the bank only has to hold $10 of that and they can lend out $90 to other people.
Now, this is great.
Bernanke says, you know what?
We should just make that no reserves.
You don't need to have any money in the bank at all.
So now these guys have gotten to the point where they can just have no money and just make money all the time.
No reserve.
No reserve necessary whatsoever.
This is unbelievable.
So if there's a run on the bank, they'll be out of business in seconds.
That's why I think it was the Bank of America or one of the other banks that said, you know, you have to give us three or four or five days notice before you can take your money out.
Oh, starting April, it'll be seven days, I think.
Seven business days.
And then a perfect, a very good article, which Simon Meyerhofer, I don't know who he writes for, but this showed up on Yahoo Finance.
I guess we had, maybe you and Horowitz talked about this.
We've had quite a rally, is that right?
Yeah.
We've had quite a rally of late, and there's essentially about $600 billion that has come into the market that no one knows where it came from.
It's like, well, you know, we've had this rally, all this fresh money is coming in, but I don't know where it's coming from.
Sounds like the lost money from Iraq.
Well, it's probably from the drug trade.
Somebody found the pallet.
Yeah, but what this article asserts is that the plunge protection team is in, and the $600 billion of net new cash, which has been lifting the market, is probably about to stop because they don't have any more.
I'm thinking no, because I think the whole Plunge Protection Group, everybody, the whole system has to be oriented toward making Obama, or making the 2012, or this, not Obama in 2012, but this, the upcoming elections in November, not to get all turned over to the Republicans.
And so I think they're going to do everything they can to make people happy.
Hmm.
So you think it's going to continue?
Yeah, I think so, at least until November.
Then you have a nice little crash right afterwards.
It could be more than a nice little crash.
I think it's going to be a whopper.
I think that's coming up.
All right.
Sometimes some of these things are self-fulfilling, too.
You get the market all pumped up, and then everyone starts feeling better, and they start hiring.
You never know.
The economy can actually perk up.
Not pick up, but perk up.
You know, it's like the guy who's dead.
The dead where the body got shot and you say, oh, you know, I feel pretty good.
I think I'm going to be okay.
Here's my final bit for this week.
This is just amazing, because amidst all of this, amidst the promises that President Barack Obama made about closing Guantanamo Bay, which has just kind of fallen off the radar, no one talks about that anymore.
It's like, ah, I can't do it.
Ah, it's a, well, whatever.
Hey, we got another earthquake.
Of course, there's gays in the military, and even at the State of the Union.
The President said, yeah, we're going to get rid of this don't ask, don't tell.
You know, you should be able to be gay and in the military, and that's fine.
And by the way, I'm totally okay with it.
Just to set that in stone.
I do not care.
However, there was a Senate hearing, and General Sheehan, John Sheehan, a former NATO commander, Says this is not a good idea, and he has proof, John.
He has proof that it is very bad to have gays in the military.
Would you like to hear his proof and his actual example of why?
I'm game.
Here we go.
You're gay or you're game?
Game.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
Check this out.
European militaries today are a product of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Nations like Belgium, Luxembourg, the Dutch, etc.
firmly believed there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in their militaries.
As a result, they declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military.
That included the unionization of their militaries.
It included homosexuality demonstrated in a series of other activities with a focus on peacekeeping operations because they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again while the Soviets were coming back.
That led to a force that was ill-equipped to go to war.
The case in point that I'm referring to is when the Dutch were required to defend Srebrenica against the Serbs.
The battalion was under strength, wholly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed the soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the Muslims off, and executed them.
That was the largest massacre in Europe since World War II.
Did the Dutch leaders tell you it was because there were gay soldiers there?
It was a combination.
Did they tell you that?
That's my question.
They included that as part of the problem.
That there were gay soldiers among the Dutch.
The combination was the liberalization of the military, a net effect of basically social engineering.
How unbelievable is that?
Gay Dutch soldiers.
Yeah, that's why that thing fell apart there.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with Clinton and Soros and any of that.
It had nothing to do with being surrounded.
Yeah, those pansies.
Those pansies that just gave up because they're all gay!
I was like, what the hell is going on?
That's a beauty.
It's just unbelievable that he can say this.
Wow.
I'm surprised the Dutch don't get up in arms about that.
Oh, no.
They are pissed off.
Oh, yeah.
This is...
Well, let's get a follow-up story next week.
I want to hear what they said because it sounds more to me that the group was poorly led and they got outflanked, caught.
You know, they had to surrender and get killed and they tied him up to something.
I'll make it worse.
Instead of shooting him.
I'll make it worse.
I think the Dutch were set up.
I mean, there's a lot about Sabra Nietzsche that nobody knows.
Oh, okay, that makes even more sense.
Yeah, they were set up.
Set up, completely set up.
Then when all is said and done, you blame the gays.
Most gay guys I know could beat me up real easy.
Well, most of them are around here.
They beat me up with one arm tied to a telephone pole.
It's unbelievable that this stuff is, you know...
That's a beauty.
Yeah, that's a gem.
I give you another point for that.
So let's finish off this thing and we're going to play the little post office game at the end here with this Jackie Speier, a California congresswoman who seems to be more interested in what's going on in Ohio than she is in the healthcare debate.
And I'd just like to mention that noagendastream.com is starting to come to life as the transition takes place on our side of the interwebs.
Hope it's happening on your side.
Two interviews coming up.
One that I'm working on is with Russ Baker.
He is the author of Family of Secrets, which is a book he wrote which started out about George W. Bush but very quickly led to George H. Walker Bush.
I just ordered it.
Oh, you are going to freak out.
And it's well documented.
This guy is a real journalist and he has footnotes for every quote, every source.
People are on record.
It's phenomenal.
So I want to get this.
But I want to read the book basically twice.
I figure I'm going to get the guy because he doesn't get a lot of air time because that would be like bad exposing the elitist Bush-Clinton crime family.
Exposing anything.
Well, it's the Bush-Clinton crime family.
They are the mob.
They are a crime family.
And I'm sure there's stuff in that book that he might talk about on the stream that he couldn't put in there.
And I'd like to know some things, like Boys Town USA. There's some things I'm just going to zing him on.
And then also, after our Porn in the Mourn episode of Thursday, I have lined up for the future on the stream a porn performer who would like to...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, here we go.
Howard Stern comes to life.
It has nothing to do with Howard Stern whatsoever.
Okay.
No, not at all.
No.
I mean, there's a lot more in porn that you don't know about that I think would be very interesting.
And then, the week after that, anybody, you know, like Lear or some of the flying saucer experts?
Yeah.
I got plenty of those.
If you're going on this child porn thing, you better start bringing the flying saucer guys.
Yeah, I'm a little worried about that.
That's why it's all in the show notes.
Oh, are we sending out a show notes email blast?
Not yet.
We're still collecting names.
I don't want to pull it off the site.
Okay, so make sure you go to the show notes at noagendashow.com, cur.com, or dvorak.org and fill in your email address.
Sign up for our show notes email list.
And please consider supporting us.
Because once again, we've gone over our two-hour mark, and I think we've provided some value for it.
We have to stop doing that.
Yeah, we do.
That's Dvorak.org slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com slash NA, and NoAgendaShow.com.
Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower in Southern California, the People's Republic, that is.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, a place that doesn't exist but it seems to be here, I'm John C. Dvorak.
I'll be back with you probably Tuesday with daily source code at noagendastream.com and certainly on Thursday for early service right here on No Agenda.

It was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which reported it by unanimous consent on March 18, 2010.
It has the bipartisan support from 17 members of the Ohio delegation.

I rise today in support of H.R. 4840, introduced by my colleague from Ohio, Mr.
Tiberi, designating the United States Postal Service located at 1979 Cleveland Avenue in Columbus, Ohio, as the Clarence D. Lumpkin Post Office.
Growing up in the poor rural South in a family of sharecroppers, Clarence D. Lumpkin has had his fair share of challenges, but that has never deterred him from moving ahead.
Mr.
Lumpkin picked cotton as a youngster from sunup to sundown, served lunch to turpentine workers, and at the age of 10 lost his mother who'd been bedridden for most of his life.
He entered the first grade at 12 years old.
Hungry for knowledge, Mr.
Lumpkin was a model student who studied constantly.
After graduating from high school, Mr.
Lumpkin joined the Army, where he served in New Guinea during World War II. After the war, he moved to Ohio, where, over a period of 41 years, he worked a number of jobs, finally retiring as chief of the Enforcement Division in the Department of Highway Safety's Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Mr.
Lumpkin is a remarkable man who came from a very difficult childhood and turned his experience of hard work into service to his country in the Army and lifelong service to his community where he has truly made a difference every day in people's lives.
In gratitude for his service, I ask all members to join me in supporting H.R. 4840 And I reserve the balance of my time.
The gentlewoman from North Carolina reserves the gentlewoman from California.
I continue to reserve the balance of my time, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.
Madam Speaker, as my colleagues have said today, and I have mentioned also, we are here this week.
