	Stating Barack Obama is possibly insane.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's April 11, 2010.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 190.
	This is no agenda.
	It's overcast here in SoCal because they've been chemtrailing again.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from the Buzzkill Lodge in the Pacific Northwest, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, my friend.
	In the morning to everyone listening.
	Yes, we have quite a plenty this morning.
	I actually tweeted it.
	Yes, I noticed.
	You went 3, 2, 1.
	I guess I'm supposed to reply tweet with hit it?
	Yeah, 3, 2, 1.
	Let's wait five minutes.
	You know, the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday morning.
	It was yesterday, Saturday, right?
	Yeah.
	So it's 5 o'clock.
	Boom.
	I wake up.
	I'm like bolt upright.
	Because I hear it.
	People are calling me.
	I swear to God.
	It's like someone's calling me.
	Something's going on.
	And 5 o'clock.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You mean calling you on the phone?
	No, no, no.
	Just hearing nothing, right?
	There's no noise.
	I wake up.
	It's completely dark still.
	So I'm like, okay, something must be going on.
	I can just hear people calling me.
	And I look at my phone.
	My Twitter's exploding.
	I've got a million emails.
	And everyone's like, oh my God, look what happened.
	Half the Polish government is dead.
	There's got to be something happening.
	And I can feel it.
	I can feel people actually calling me.
	Did you just watch the Star Wars movie recently?
	Which Star Wars movie?
	Will they blow up Alderaan?
	No.
	Oh, okay.
	Why?
	Nothing.
	It's a scene in the movie very similar to your experience.
	Oh, really?
	No.
	It's the connection I have with our producers.
	So, well, let's talk about our executive producer and associate executive producer before we begin the show, which will, I'm sure, discuss somewhat, at least for a moment or two, the tragedy in Poland.
	Just for a second, maybe.
	Or was it Russia?
	I think it's Poland.
	Well, no, the tragedy wasn't Russia, but it was half the Polish government.
	Or let's call it important Polish people, not half the Polish government.
	But yeah.
	Good part of it.
	Our executive producer for today's show is Eric Eloma, E-L-O-M-A-A, from Orange Park, Florida.
	Okay.
	Who gave the magical amount of $3.30, $3.33, which is headed for a knighthood.
	Right.
	With no comment.
	Okay.
	Or a second.
	We do need to check, because after three, we kind of got to do a knighthood thing.
	Yeah, with a penny.
	Yeah.
	Kenan Walker-Watson from Kirkland, Washington is our associate executive producer with 200.
	These two people can now use this on their resume.
	You may continue.
	Keener Walker Watson.
	I like that.
	Keenan.
	Keenan.
	Yeah, Keenan.
	Didn't I say that?
	Keener Walker Watson.
	You said Keener again.
	Keenan!
	Like Keenan Ivory Wayans.
	Yeah.
	Keenan.
	Yeah, Keener Walker Watson.
	Right, but both two times you said Keener.
	No, I did not.
	You understood Keener.
	No!
	You can listen to the tape later.
	No!
	The best part of waking up is fluoride in my cup.
	So, we have no PR associate, although I do want to mention two people quickly before we congratulate our executive producers.
	Alex has started something called the No Agenda Report at noagendareport.com, which is, I guess he's going to start writing a report.
	And a guy who goes by the name of Big Dog...
	Has found a novel way to promote the No Agenda show.
	He has created a screen name and is apparently actively promoting it on adultfriendfinder.com.
	The screen name is BigBuyGuy1955.
	And apparently all that BigBuyGuy1955 talks about at Adult Friend Finder is John C. Devorak and Adam Curry.
	So...
	There you go.
	Yeah, as long as he's not hitting on us.
	So, all of the new listeners from adultfriendfinder.com, welcome to the No Agenda Show.
	Yeah, all five of them.
	You don't know, man.
	That's a big operation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's huge, but most of it is...
	Hey, come on.
	Any promotion is good promotion.
	I have a promotional idea I'm going to talk about later in the show.
	So congratulations to Kenan Walker Watson, who is our associate executive producer.
	You have that new controller when you blow on it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Eric Aloma.
	Is our executive producer.
	So you guys are basically underwriting the show.
	We appreciate it.
	You can put it on your resume.
	It gets you lots of stuff.
	It is almost guaranteed to get you jobs and maybe a couple of chicks along the way.
	Please go out and apply our strategy.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Mill.
	Water.
	Order.
	Shut up.
	Sleep.
	Hell yeah.
	you So, um...
	Alright, now you probably, I assume that you got all over this airplane crash thing.
	Yeah, I did.
	Especially if you're hearing voices.
	I wasn't just hearing any old voices.
	I was hearing voices of the No Agenda Militia.
	So, I'd like to hear your take on it first.
	Besides it being an obvious tragedy, what was your immediate thought when you heard about this?
	Well, I didn't think much.
	I mean, it seemed a little, it seemed suspect, let's put it that way.
	And then there was an article, one article, that discussed the problems the plane might have had with the guy who was the chief maintenance guy.
	who says the whole plane was rebuilt less than two years ago.
	It's not flown that much.
	It's kept in tip-top condition.
	And the head of maintenance says there's no way that this plane could crash by accident.
	Yeah, so just looking at, because, of course, you want to flip on CNN.
	You want to look around and see what the general message is that's being propagated.
	And they always try the same thing.
	It's like, oh, it was a 20-year-old plane!
	Okay, that makes no difference whatsoever.
	It did have a complete overhaul in December of 2009.
	Which means that it most likely had to have what is known as an annual in December of 2010.
	This thing was, this is actually, this is not just like some old Russian aircraft, which of course is what I've also, you know, you hear kind of, oh, it was a 20-year-old Russian aircraft.
	Yeah, those Tupolev's.
	Yeah, but it's, this is actually a very high-tech machine.
	It's a Trident, so it has three engines.
	This is an amazing aircraft.
	It can land on gravel.
	And it goes extremely fast.
	I mean, this is the plane you actually do want.
	They just took them out of commission in Russia, but I'll tell you, I'd give my left nut to have one of these.
	Nothing wrong with this aircraft.
	It had a lot of sophisticated equipment on board.
	Well, the reports of...
	So from an aviation standpoint, it's really weird, John.
	You know, so it's like, oh, it crashed and missed and...
	They didn't have an instrument landing system, which is true.
	It's a military airfield.
	They do have something called FAR, which is an assist radar.
	And this is just based on the data we have.
	The tower reportedly told journalists, well, he went below the glide path.
	Well, in that case, you saw him on some kind of glide path, so you know that he's doing something.
	And so it was some form of assist.
	And there were reports of the aircraft trying to make four attempts to land because of heavy fog, which...
	We did a lot of work on the...
	Yesterday we all hopped in the chat room, a whole bunch of the militiamen and producers.
	And in these Russian airfields, it's not easy to get like a typical...
	Weather report, but we're able to get one.
	And it turns out that the cloud base was, let's see, what is it?
	It was 500 meters, so that's about 1,500 feet.
	That should be enough as a minimum to land, even if you're coming down through the crap, and certainly if you have some kind of glide path.
	You should be able to land perfectly.
	However, the impact was not only way short of the runway, according to the data we have, but it was also way to the right.
	They weren't even lined up.
	And by the way, the...
	There's no, it's just hearsay about this four attempts.
	That's not what the, apparently what the air traffic controllers at the tower said.
	They just said, oh, he went below the glide path, we told him not to land, and then he crashed.
	Right, I got that one too.
	Yeah, that was like, okay.
	Reports on the ground, because there were a lot of reporters actually waiting for this delegation to arrive, because it was for this big ceremony.
	I heard explosions before there was any impact at all.
	And I just look at the video, if it's even real video of the real accident.
	And this is not a plane that clipped a wing and cartwheeled or anything like that.
	But you know what?
	There's not enough data.
	It's really hard to look at it from an aviation perspective.
	But I'm just going to kind of rule out the, oh, it was an old plane.
	And when it comes to weather...
	I find it highly unlikely that any aviator would take that type of risk if he really felt he couldn't land and would try it four times.
	It just doesn't seem right.
	It is, however, something that has happened in the past with Polish luminaries.
	In fact, it was President...
	I think it was President...
	Sikorsky in 1943 who took off from Greece with an entire delegation and his plane crashed almost after takeoff and to this day of course still speculation about was that sabotage or not.
	How unlikely is that in a nation's history that this happens twice?
	Seems highly unlikely.
	Although, based on the random number theory, it should happen more and more.
	Yay!
	So, of course, I go into my analysis mode, and I'm like, okay, who benefits from this?
	Well, that's kind of the problem, John.
	There's so many people that benefit from the people on this plane going away.
	So, just to reiterate, the president of Poland...
	They have a prime minister, and the prime minister was not on the aircraft.
	The prime minister and the president are actually not the biggest of friends.
	Yeah, the prime minister would benefit.
	But then again, he might not, because this president and his twin brother, who was previously the prime minister, were slowly falling out of favor.
	And this may actually boost the fortunes of their party.
	And it may actually boost the fortunes of his twin brother.
	Well, the other freaky thing is that the now deceased, I'll just call him assassinated, president has a twin brother who's also in politics.
	And when you see those two in the picture, it's just like, oh, this is freaky.
	It just makes the whole thing kind of incredibly weird.
	Yeah, one has a mole.
	Yeah.
	Well, I thought they were completely identical.
	No, one has a mole.
	Okay.
	That's on their neck or something, or his neck, and it's like, that's how people could identify the two of them.
	Although the other one could just put a spot there, you know, I suppose.
	Right.
	So, President Kaczynski, also not very favored by the European Union.
	He dragged his heels, as we've reported on this show, for quite a while on ratifying the Lisbon Treaty.
	So, not a lot of fans in the EU. Okay.
	What I found highly interesting is that Donald Tusk, who actually lost the election against Kaczynski, went to Russia three days early, actually hung out with Dmitry.
	You know, talking about all kinds of stuff, and they were photographed laughing, and they actually went to the official ceremony in remembrance of all of these Polish soldiers who were killed during the Second World War.
	And he's a real adversary of Kaczynski, whose whole trip was actually kind of up in the air.
	It wasn't supposed to happen.
	He wasn't really welcome.
	He wasn't invited.
	Is the Katyn, I guess you pronounce it?
	K-A-T-Y-N? I don't know.
	Yeah, he wasn't really invited to that, and so was he going to go?
	Let's talk about that.
	The celebration, it was a commemoration of essentially the Russians butchering and murdering a slew of Polish officers at the beginning of World War II. And it was essentially, it's considered, Russians don't even want to open the files on it.
	It's so bad.
	Yeah, in fact, they are closed up still, the files.
	Okay, so those are all just kind of like, eh.
	And then we have our banker.
	Well, let me get to the banker in a second.
	I'm not quite there.
	So then we have the pipeline.
	This to me is highly interesting.
	This is the Nord Stream pipeline.
	You've heard of this, John?
	No.
	Okay, go ahead and Google Nord Stream pipeline, which actually, construction for this thing officially started on Friday, the day before this event.
	And this is a pipeline through the Baltic Sea.
	Now, you have to open up your Google Maps or your Google Earth to take a look at it.
	It goes from Russia directly to Germany, bypassing Poland.
	And there's been all kinds...
	Of course, Poland was like, whoa!
	Including Kaczynski, like, hey, Russians, you can't go screwing us.
	Gas is supposed to go through our country.
	We're supposed to be the conduit here.
	In fact, he called this agreement between Russia and Germany the equivalent of a modern-day Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, which was the agreement between Russia and Germany before the outbreak of the Second World War.
	So Kaczynski's been making a lot of noise.
	He also objected to the...
	To the pipeline being too close to Poland's ports in the Baltic Sea because it would actually not allow for deeper ships to come into port.
	I mean, there's a whole lot of political stuff going on here.
	And if you look at this pipeline project, N-O-R-D-S-T-R-E-A-M, Nord Stream, it is huge.
	I mean, this thing, I think it's a 10 billion euro project, which means it'll probably cost 30.
	It's Gazprom owns 51% of it.
	Then we have two German gas companies own it.
	And of course, a piece of Gitmo Nation lowlands, the Has Uni, owns about 9% of it.
	And oh yeah, everyone showed up for the groundbreaking ceremony.
	Jan-Peter Balkanen, the missionary minister of the Netherlands, was there.
	So this is a huge middle finger to Poland.
	As we know, now Russia is essentially providing a lot of Europe's energy.
	And he was against it, for obvious reasons, because he's protecting his own turf.
	He's like, hey, you know, you're just cutting us out of the deal here.
	26 banks underwriting this entire thing, and here's where we slowly get into the banker part of it.
	And Goldman Sachs, as a part of this cabal financing the Nord Stream pipeline, just opened up a Warsaw branch, just so you know that they're in there.
	Have you finally looked at the pipeline project?
	No, I've written about it.
	Finland's involved with this thing, too.
	You left them out.
	Well, who cares about Finland?
	They just knew whatever.
	May I just throw on top of that...
	U.S. Patriot missiles were supposed to arrive this month.
	This, of course, was set up, originally was going to be the missile shield, as George Bush put into place.
	Then Obama kind of turned that down a little bit and said, you know what, we're not going to do this whole missile shield.
	We'll just put a couple of Patriot missiles in.
	April was the month that they were supposed to arrive.
	And, of course, Russia not at all happy with having a pro-U.S. country with missiles right on their border, which is exactly where Poland is.
	So that's another reason that it would be very...
	Well, Poland's not really on their border.
	Close enough.
	Within Patriot...
	There's at least one country between them and Russia.
	Yeah, which ones?
	Well, Belarus, for one.
	That's the biggest...
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	And what I don't know, is it Latvia?
	What's that country just north of them?
	Or Lithuania?
	Lithuania.
	But this is what's really interesting, is the East Bloc essentially is expanding.
	Have you seen any of the news about Kyrgyzstan?
	I mean, I know that we've been really preoccupied with the WikiLeaks video and everyone's trying to pick that apart.
	Meanwhile, there's been a complete overthrow of the government in Kyrgyzstan, when really that is one of the most important air bases for the U.S. to fly into Afghanistan.
	And admitted, the rebels admit, yeah, Moscow helped us out.
	And by the way, I don't see protesters usually walking around with rocket launchers.
	It's not like the thing that is typical for them to have.
	So now we've got, you know, they've overthrown the government.
	Moscow is, you know, it's essentially a hit.
	It's what the CIA typically does.
	Now Russia just took back Kyrgyzstan.
	Georgia, I think, is next to fall.
	In fact, the opposition in Georgia is literally saying, hey, if you guys don't watch out, we'll have another Kyrgyzstan on our hands.
	So there's all these things that are taking place, and I see Russia squarely in the driver's seat of it.
	And Russia, let's be honest, when they go out and they give somebody two to the head, they usually kind of make a big show of it, don't they?
	Yeah, they're not as subtle.
	No, they like to, you know...
	Generally.
	Hey, you're at your house right now.
	Let me just go up there and just blow two on your head right here on the street.
	No, they're not...
	None of this suicided stuff.
	They just kill you.
	Shoot you in the back of the head.
	So I was kind of thinking, well, it could be that.
	You know, maybe it's opposition from within Poland.
	But then...
	I really look into the financial timeline, and I'm thinking, oh, no, no, no.
	This is way different.
	So you're right.
	There was the central banker, I guess kind of the Bernanke of Poland, was on board.
	And I'm thinking it might have been about the central banker and not even about the president.
	March 29th.
	And this is all links in the show notes.
	Polish Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance at odds over IMF credit.
	Now let me just say that Poland, one of the few countries, has not really had a recession in Europe.
	They've been kind of floating through it okay.
	Finance Ministry said the measures that the Central Bank proposed to meet Poland's obligations towards the IMF were inappropriate and they could create significant liabilities for the state.
	March 30th, Polish Prime Minister calls for a meeting with the Central Bank.
	The Finance Ministry estimated the 2009 profit of the Central Bank could stand at about 10 billion złoty, which is about $3.5 billion.
	But the Central Bank's governor...
	That's the person who's now dead, signaled it could reach about 4 billion Zlottis.
	That's 1.4 billion.
	So the Ministry of Finance was apparently cooking the books, and this central banker, who I guess didn't get this central banker memo, I was saying, no, no, no, it's only going to be $1.4 billion.
	We're not making all that much money.
	What are you guys talking about?
	We don't have this great profit you think we can use.
	March 31st.
	Fresh signs of conflict between Poland's central bank governor and fellow policy makers on Wednesday, analysts said reflected a political divide in the 10-person strong monetary policy council.
	In an unprecedented scene at the bank's news conference after its monthly decision on interest rates, Councilmember Anna Zielinska-Gleboka was passed a note by Governor Zipirik.
	Zipirik read the note.
	It said, you are not telling the truth.
	So this apparently happened live during a press conference.
	So they're like fighting.
	They're fighting publicly over the money.
	And it's billions of dollars.
	April 4th, Polish central banker says, just might quit over this profit thing.
	And then, of course, five days later, the central banker is dead.
	And we just lost John.
	laughs Or did we lose the stream, too?
	Oh, my God.
	So that was either just to let you know that they're listening or to tell you to kind of move along a little bit with the point.
	Taking too long with the details.
	Well, that's the thing.
	There's so many details.
	It's like, where to start?
	There was every single reason for all these people on the plane to be taken out of the picture.
	Every single reason.
	What you think about is genius.
	Of course it is.
	I mean, it couldn't get any better.
	Like, get everyone on board and just get rid of the whole bunch in one go and, ah, bad weather.
	What can I tell you?
	It is genius.
	But the genius part is that you can't deconstruct it because it's like it could be any number of scenarios.
	None of them very clear.
	Although I tend to buy into the banker one.
	I think the banker one is good.
	And this Nord Stream, that's so huge.
	And of course that includes 26 banks underwriting this project.
	Everyone's all goo-goo-ga-ga because Russia is now just expanding in the great game.
	They're rebuilding the block.
	I guarantee you, watch Georgia.
	Georgia will be the next to go.
	So now they're getting Poland back.
	There's going to be an election which has to be called in two weeks.
	Constitutionally has to be in place, I think, in 60 days.
	You know, you watch, and by the way, the interim president is a former minister of defense, and he's, as far as I can understand, very pro-Russian.
	So, Obama not doing too well on the friend front.
	He's pissing everybody off.
	And the people that were his friends are getting offed.
	It's not so good.
	Anyway, I've collected a huge amount of links that back all of these theories up in the show notes at noagendashow.com under Polish 2 to the head.
	And I just got to tell you, I think you're right.
	I think it is genius.
	The best thing they could do is to do it this way, and it's not the first time it's happened with the Polish leader and or government.
	And my heart certainly goes out to the Polish people because it seems like Kaczynski actually was a guy that had his country's best interest at heart.
	You know, he just didn't take any crap.
	They also shied away from the whole swine flu hype.
	I think he even said so, like, you know, this is bull crap.
	Not wanting to take bailout money from the IMF because they didn't need it.
	The central banker seems to have been running the business quite well.
	Everything seemed to be working okay.
	They actually devalued the zloty against the euro and the dollar to increase their exports.
	It seems like they were doing a pretty good job.
	And, of course, this rocks all of the European Union in general.
	The way they were operating.
	So, you're right.
	Good to have them all out of the way.
	Yeah, well, it's a reset.
	It's a reboot.
	It totally is.
	But, you know, we'll see what comes of it.
	I mean, the Polish are so suspicious of Russia generally that I'm sure that there was in the cafes in Krakow.
	Oh, yeah, of course.
	And, by the way, all the bodies sent to Russia for examination.
	Sent to Moscow.
	It's like, wait a minute, if your leader...
	But just in case, he needs one living.
	If your leader dies, no matter where, your leader gets sent back to your homeland, no?
	Usually?
	Yeah.
	No, no, no.
	Oh, we're taking them to Moscow.
	We'll make sure everything's okay.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Just in case we need to, like, make sure everyone's...
	Well, that way they can go through their pockets and, you know, make sure they clean out any information that might be in there.
	You are so cynical.
	So to move off of that, but into just a follow-up on the WikiLeaks Apache helicopter video, it seems now to me so clear that the entire...
	And we've had a lot of heated email debate with listeners and producers and people who have donated even significant amounts to this show...
	You know, it's like, oh, you're missing the point.
	It's about the cover-up.
	It's about, you know, what are the other points people make?
	That's the main point.
	The main point is the cover-up, and it was the journalists, and it wasn't an RPG. First of all, there's just 50 videos of Apaches killing people on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I don't see anyone having to jump through any incredible hoops to decode the video.
	Well, the other thing about this is that what kind of gets me on this video, I kind of dropped thinking about it too much, but there's a couple of thoughts that came to mind with some of the people that wrote in complaining about us, saying that we're against the WikiLeaks, and they seem, you know, very dubious kinds of attacks.
	You know, it's like, how do you, you got an Apache that you said is about 5,000 feet away, guesstimate, and it's taking a movie of this action.
	All you see, there's very small figures, which essentially is a black head and a body.
	And then they have little arrows pointing to the individuals.
	This is the reporter, this is this, and this is that.
	How can you identify these people at all from the video?
	So, yeah.
	Thank you.
	I mean, how do you identify the guy who, here's the reporter, here he is being gunned down.
	You can't see his face.
	They're all wearing pretty much the same clothes.
	They all pretty much have the same black hair.
	I'm just baffled by this positive identification that took place.
	It's like CSI Miami.
	Everyone's so used to this.
	The meme that has been created by these cop shows, which again, I'm going to keep saying it, and I'm going to say it again, has...
	Essentially poison the jury pool in the United States of America and is somewhat poisoning the analytical capabilities of the public in general because you can't do what they do on these shows.
	You can't have a blurry, you know, five pictures.
	Oh yeah, exactly.
	It's like zoom in.
	Enhance.
	I see the reflection in the wingnut.
	Yeah, right.
	A reflection in a bolt on the tire.
	Zoom in on that and enhance.
	And then you've got the guy's picture with his tongue hanging out and he's winking.
	I mean, how do you get this kind of detail?
	You can only create so much detail when there's zero information, which is the case most of the time.
	Exactly.
	So I did a little bit of research.
	Because, you know, what exactly is WikiLeaks, right?
	And...
	Without getting into it too deep, I just want to call this whole video disinformation and distraction, if anything, because who cares?
	Forget about the human aspect, but this happens all the time.
	There's videos all over YouTube, even, of this happening.
	They've got this incredible...
	They know exactly who everybody is.
	WikiLeaks is not like an investigative reporting outfit.
	They essentially take documents anonymously.
	They have technology so that it's spread out, so they claim, spread out across lots of servers.
	And then they vet the information, which, again, I do not call investigative reporting.
	And then they release it.
	It's more like a whistleblower service.
	Yeah, one of our critics said that You know, you're throwing dirt on these great reporters.
	There's no reporting here.
	No, zero reporting.
	And then, so I'm looking around, and of course, there's this whole war, or war of words at least, between Cryptome.org and WikiLeaks, and apparently these guys broke out, or they were part of the same organization, and it's like really weird.
	But then I found an interesting story on Mother Jones, which I think does do some excellent reporting.
	And we've actually referenced them previously, and I always find it interesting when Mother Jones gets into something.
	And you kind of have to do a bit of archive.org-ing on WikiLeaks, because of course they shut down a couple months ago.
	And they came back saying, well, we need money, we need money, we need money, and the site won't be fully back up online until we get money.
	And they used to have this, you know, like a whole, you know, the site was really rich with archives, etc.
	All that's been taken away.
	Even the About page, basically, now they just have an upload, and now it's called collateralmurder.com, or it points to the same page.
	But if you go back and look at the WikiLeaks so-called advisory board at archive.org, which I have linked to in the show notes at noagendashow.com, there's a couple of interesting names there.
	I'm actually bringing it up right now.
	Here it is.
	So Julian Assange is the guy behind WikiLeaks, and he was apparently a hacker in Australia.
	And if you read his own bio...
	I love this.
	Born in Australia to a touring theater.
	Send me a link.
	Send me that link.
	Okay, hold on.
	Here we go.
	I'm going to send you this link.
	Actually, yeah, so this is...
	There's a bio page of the...
	Uh...
	Of the so-called advisory board.
	So there's Philip Adams, a broadcaster, Julian Assange, who calls himself...
	He calls himself an...
	He was a co-inventor of deniable cryptography.
	He became Australia's most famous ethical computer hacker.
	But then we have Wang Dan, a dissident from the Tiananmen Square, a Chinese dissident.
	Ben Lorre, internet security expert.
	Anyway, before I get off on reading all the names, Mother Jones contacted a couple of these people and said, hey, you're on the advisory board.
	Talk to me about it.
	So digital expert Ben Lurie laughs when I ask why he's named on the site.
	Quote, WikiLeaks allegedly has an advisory board and allegedly I'm a member of it, he says.
	I don't know who runs it.
	One of the things I've tried to avoid is knowing what's going on there because that's probably safest for all concerned.
	Lurie says his only substantive interaction with the group was when Assange approached him to help design a system that would protect leakers' anonymity.
	John Young, founder of Cryptome.org.
	Wait a minute, that's not the one I wanted.
	But everyone basically that they were able to contact says, uh, no.
	I'm not on that board.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	You know, the guy called me once, gave me like some, you know, I got a weird phone call in the middle of the night.
	So, you know, what is that about?
	Yeah, really.
	That's kind of interesting.
	So I like what Mother Jones has done there.
	And I'm just saying, you know, we've got a lot of flack for just being skeptical.
	Just one bit of questioning authority.
	You know, we have to...
	People who...
	Don't constantly question authority and they start taking things, you know, as, oh, this is, oh, WikiLeaks I've been told is this, it's just a great thing.
	I mean, you have to question authority just constantly and WikiLeaks is something that is held above this philosophy.
	Why does WikiLeaks get a pass?
	Yeah, they shouldn't.
	So Tashi Nagyai Kamikstang, a former representative of the Dalai Lama, recalls getting a cryptic email from WikiLeaks a few years ago, but says he never agreed to be an advisor.
	Noam Chomsky is listed as a volunteer administrator of the WikiLeaks Facebook group.
	This is news to him.
	I know nothing about it, he says.
	So, yeah.
	But you're right.
	Why is it that they get a free pass from a lot of our audience?
	This is brilliant.
	However it fits in, I'm just not buying all of it.
	And of course, you know, there's lots of people saying, oh, it's a CIA, Mossad front, you know, whatever.
	It could be.
	But yeah, it's just like...
	Yeah, you know, but I was under the impression it could be too, but this kind of amateurish approach to like naming names that aren't part of your operation seems a bit...
	That's not very spooky.
	Right.
	So, but I'm just like, you know, but again...
	Although it could be, it could be.
	But this, to me, is just like a Tiger Woods, Sandra Bullock, Jesse James for the conspiracy theorists.
	This whole video.
	It's like, what does it matter?
	You know, press people get killed all the time, particularly people who don't have...
	There's been 140, I believe the number's 140 so far, in Iraq.
	Yeah, particular press people who don't have the big words press on their flak jacket, which is usually a way to identify them.
	Right, and we have one military advisor who writes us every once in a while complaining about our crappy take on the military, and he mentions the following, that typically...
	Enemy combatants versus civilians that are familiar, in other words, Americans, people that are on our side in this battle.
	If they see an Apache helicopter, they start waving their arms and drawing attention to themselves or maybe having a handkerchief or something to let the Apaches know.
	Hey, don't shoot me!
	Don't shoot me.
	And he made mention of the fact that it's always assumed that anybody who doesn't follow this procedure is a dummy that is probably a terrorist that doesn't even know to do this and hasn't even been told to do it.
	And they just they're oblivious.
	And so they are immediately considered possible targets.
	And in fact, these two journalists who should have done exactly that, they knew the ropes.
	They're working for Reuters.
	If that was indeed them and in the video.
	And I still have doubts about that, because who the hell knows who's in this video?
	5,000 feet away, you know, a couple of pixels, I'm not buying it.
	With the arrows pointing, who put those arrows in, by the way?
	And how do you check that?
	Didn't everyone on the ground get basically slaughtered?
	So who was there to verify it?
	I mean, and these are really simple questions.
	Really simple.
	And the other thing is this video, this is another thing that bothers me about it.
	WikiLeaks tends to be a whistleblowing operation.
	You send them the memo, they put the memo online, and people read the memo, and that's the end of it.
	Why is this thing so editorialized?
	You had the video, you had repeats of the shot of the video over and over, commentary in the video all over the place, arrows pointing to people.
	Where did this video come from?
	Did WikiLeaks produce it?
	And exactly, who put the arrows in?
	So the thing that people need to understand is that this is war.
	I mean, go on YouTube or Google Apache video shooting people on the ground.
	There's tons of examples.
	And I can just put some arrows in there and you'd be just as shocked.
	I mean, people walking in fields, done, they're dead.
	Guy walking, you know, oh, well, he was a bad guy, so therefore, you know, it's okay for him to get killed.
	The possibility actually exists that this video's already been out there, and then somebody got hold of it and then edited around it to make it, you know, I'm not, like I said, I'm not, they say they vetted it.
	I don't know how you could do that.
	This thing has been produced.
	It's a produced video.
	It's got commentary at the beginning.
	It's got wordage all over.
	It's got arrows pointing at people.
	How do you vet that?
	And at the end of the day, what difference does it make?
	We know this is going on.
	Well, you've made that point already 25 times.
	We get it.
	But I can't stop.
	I'm looking at the chat room, and I see people continuously going on, yeah, but what about the people in the van?
	It doesn't matter.
	That happens all the time.
	That's what war is.
	And the people in the van, according to our military guys, should have been waving off the chopper.
	Good point.
	They weren't waving anybody off.
	They were scurrying around, you know, so they're thus assumed to be the bad guys.
	So they blew up the van, too.
	I mean, I don't know.
	I think we should drop this thing completely because it's wasting our time.
	You're right.
	It is.
	Want to hear a report from Haiti?
	A real report?
	People are dying there, more so than in that one scene.
	Exactly.
	It's like, oh, but I texted $10, so I feel good about it.
	I don't have to think about it.
	Nothing to see here.
	I sent my money.
	I watched the great music television show.
	I sang along with the We Are the World, We Are the Children.
	Yeah!
	Yeah!
	Now, this is from WTOPFM, and they've got a guy on the ground, and this is about a minute and a half.
	You want to hear what's really going on with all the hundreds of millions of dollars that was collected worldwide?
	Are you telling me that there's a reporter that's actually there and he's going to report?
	Yes.
	Del Walters, I believe.
	I don't know if he's the guy on the ground or not.
	Yeah, there's an actual reporter on the ground.
	So remember now, Clinton is the UN Special Envoy.
	He's busy collecting $11.4 billion to rebuild Haiti and, of course, have a couple of hotels and streets named after him and Hillary.
	We've got hundreds of millions collected around the world.
	Wherever you are, whichever Gitmo nation you belong to, I know that you saw people participate.
	I know you saw this money being collected.
	Here's how well it's working.
	Rain has flooded Haiti's earthquake camps this week, scaring residents just hours after they were told to get ready for a more active than usual hurricane season.
	WTOP's Del Walters has spent the week in Haiti leading a group of documentary film students from Bowie State.
	Del tells us he knows a lot of money has been donated, but he's surprised at how little he sees being done and that he and his students are seeing horrors.
	We've been in Port-au-Prince throughout the week, and I can tell you that what we have seen is an indication that as an international community, this is the best we can do, we're going to fall far short.
	We were at the hospital yesterday where, you know, the nursing home collapsed, and we saw a patient whose wound had not been treated, his wife said, since the earthquake.
	As she pulled back the sheet, you could literally see the flies that had started to fester and the infection itself as gangrene set in.
	It smelled terrible.
	So the international efforts, you know, those hundreds of millions of dollars that were poured into Haiti, you just don't see them.
	Now, that's not to say that things aren't being done, but what it is saying is that it is not that big, international, visible presence.
	I always find it unfortunate when a reporter does that.
	That's not to say that it's not being done.
	Always hedging so he doesn't get caught.
	Yeah, he's hedging.
	That's exactly what he's doing.
	He should say, as far as I can tell, nothing's being done.
	Yeah, really.
	Because that's what he wants to say, but, you know, whatever.
	For whatever reason, he doesn't feel comfortable saying it.
	...to be needed in order to make this country whole.
	Well, what has to happen to make it better?
	I think what has to happen is that the attention span of the press has got to be a little bit longer than it has been so far with this particular disaster.
	Best comments so far.
	No, no, no.
	We've moved on to other stuff.
	More important things.
	Like a shooting in a shopping mall.
	What the Haitian people are saying.
	A lot of people that I talked to were very offended that so much attention was paid to the missionaries from Utah that were in the jail and not to the thousands of people who continue to suffer.
	You know, yesterday we saw people that were still trying to dig out of places that had collapsed.
	The streets are still impassable.
	Picture the snowstorm, the blizzard of 2010, where people could not travel.
	Now multiply that by three months.
	And that's what you have in Haiti, where the rumble from the earthquake Still litters the streets, making a lot of streets in and around Port-au-Prince and Casables.
	Let's go back to that man with his badly damaged leg.
	Wasn't there somebody there who could at least dress the wound, clean it up?
	That's what scared me.
	The wound appeared to have been dressed once, but then it didn't appear to have had any attention.
	And you're talking about a...
	When I tell you the amputee ward at the hospital in downtown Port-au-Prince, we're talking about a tent where flies can come and go as they please and so can anybody else that wants to walk into that tent.
	So where's all these tents and supplies and everything and this airport full of stuff?
	What's going on, John?
	I don't get it.
	Where's John Travolta?
	Yeah, where's the Scientology church massaging people?
	They're not even there anymore.
	They've all pulled out.
	They got their press mention, and they're out.
	They're done.
	Okay, let's go.
	Hey, you can't drive in the streets.
	Why?
	Because the big bulldozers aren't there to build the hotels yet.
	Why do the work twice?
	Just wait for the guys who are going to build and do it all in one go.
	Yeah, let's see how many people can die in the meantime so we don't have, you know, so it lowers the population.
	Just bulldoze them up, yeah.
	It's a big hassle, you know, coffins, burying people.
	Yeah, we just want to find a big, shallow grave and push them in, and then we're in business.
	And then we have the crews that can help us maintain the hotels.
	Let's just listen to another.
	By the way, we were on this from the beginning, before the first stupid concert, that this had scam written all over it.
	And I wish people would have our attitudes about this and cut these people off.
	Exactly.
	In fact, you know that weird word, Haiti, that has been appearing after David Letterman's segments in the commercials?
	On television, it just pops up the word, just the word Haiti.
	So I'm not sure if this is it, but there's something called the International Rescue Committee, which has a frightening acronym, theirc.org.
	They use the same font and letter type.
	You can take a look at their website.
	I've also linked to it in the show notes.
	And I think it might be some kind of subliminal campaign somehow.
	It's really weird.
	Well, let's just continue for like 20 seconds.
	We saw babies in a neonatal ward that we were told by the nurse that was treating them, most of them will not make it through the week.
	The students that were with me from Bowie State University broke down in tears and had to be consoled.
	They were so upset with what they saw.
	I think that the international community has a standard that's not being met in Haiti.
	You know, is it impossible in a hospital setting to have an air-conditioned tent?
	So that at least if the patients are going to be suffering, they can suffer in some type of comfort as opposed to being out in the open element.
	It rained last night.
	It rained terribly.
	And as we went to the refugee camp, we realized as we were laying there in the relative comforts of our tent and our awning surrounding that they didn't feel the same way, that the water was coming in on them.
	And it's the rainy season down here, and they're very concerned about disease.
	You talk about refugee camps and tent villages.
	What's the prospect for changing that?
	How long will people have to live that way?
	That's the thing I think, Bob, that concerned me the most, is that I remember watching the telethons where people were giving $5 and $10 to fix Haiti.
	We went by several sites, one of which was run by the United Nations, where large front-end machines seemed to be sitting idle.
	I didn't see any large, big trucks.
	I have not seen a crane about the skyline of Port-au-Prince.
	The only thing that I've seen are people with yellow T-shirts on, marked with USAID, with shovels and wheelbarrows that are literally taking apart the buildings that have fallen by hand.
	I did not see this huge international presence that would seem to be needed in order to make Port-au-Prince sold.
	Exactly.
	Because it's not happening!
	Shots to show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity.
	No agenda listeners.
	I know you want to help Adam and John promote the show and help them with their websites, but just send your cash.
	George working for us too.
	Yeah, I'm going to get a better George.
	It was free, okay?
	Why is none of this surprising at all?
	Well, what's surprising is that we...
	They're looking forward to a hurricane killing even more people.
	Of course, of course.
	This is basically a genocide.
	Yes.
	Genocide by neglect.
	And what do we all argue about?
	About some press guys.
	You know, just in the grand scheme of things, I'm sorry.
	Or maybe it's because they're brown that they don't count.
	Check yourself, is what I'd say.
	Check yourself.
	Well, the Ninth Ward is another example of genocide by neglect.
	Exactly.
	And by the way, it wasn't Hurricane Katrina that caused the catastrophe.
	It was the breaking of the levee, which happened after the hurricane.
	Let's do some clips, John.
	You sent me some stuff.
	I don't really have any great clips, but let's see what I got here.
	I do have some drug things.
	Is this a Pristique that you're bringing back?
	Well, there's a couple of them.
	I think it's Levalor or Leva something, whatever it is.
	What is it?
	Levasa?
	I think this is, if I'm not mistaken, this is the one that has the weirdest...
	It just made me laugh when they have all the disclaimers played.
	It's a fish oil supplement, I believe.
	Welcome to the world of LaVesa, where nature meets science.
	If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, you may also have very high triglycerides, too much fat in the blood.
	It's a serious medical condition.
	LaVesa, along with diet, effectively lowers very high triglycerides in adults, but has not been shown to prevent heart attacks or strokes.
	LaVesa starts with omega-3 fish oil that's then purified and concentrated.
	It's the only omega-3 medication that's FDA approved.
	You can't get it at a health food store.
	LaVesa isn't right for everyone.
	Tell your doctor if you're allergic to fish, have other medical conditions, and about any medications you're taking, especially those that may increase risk of bleeding.
	Blood tests are needed before and during treatment.
	In some, LDL or bad cholesterol may increase.
	Possible side effects include burping, infection, flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, and change...
	Wait a minute.
	Let me hear that again.
	Burping, infection, flu-like symptoms, up to the L or bad cholesterol may increase.
	Possible side effects include burping...
	Possible side effects include burping.
	Nice.
	Fetching flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, and change in sense of taste.
	Ask your doctor about Levesa, the prescription that starts in the sea.
	It's Lobster Fest.
	Followed by It's Lobster Fest.
	Nice.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's pretty funny.
	I actually left that on for that reason.
	The burping thing, there's also some change in taste.
	Yeah, if you're burping, you need to burp, burp, burp.
	You're trying to have a change in taste.
	Yeah.
	I read somewhere, I think I had in the show notes last week, that the FDA is now requiring drug companies, when they do their disclaimer, they can't do pretty pictures anymore.
	They're going to take a really close look at them.
	You can't have butterflies floating around when you're talking about anal leakage and stuff like that.
	People smiling and in slow motion running through a field of Heather jumping in.
	Because I feel so good!
	It's funny.
	The drugs they push on us.
	It's so much better than heroin.
	I mean, why bother if you can burp?
	Why get high and have a change in taste?
	What's wrong with you?
	I can't stop burping.
	I'm on the Vesa.
	Sounds like cervezas.
	So there's another one there, Pristique.
	You might want to run that one.
	We can jump on it.
	This is more standard.
	No, I've been seeing these all over the place, the Pristiques.
	I don't know if I've seen this one or not.
	They're pushing the heck out of it.
	I'm sorry.
	What's that?
	I said they're pushing the heck out of it.
	It must be selling like hotcakes.
	Okay.
	Depression is a serious medical condition that can take so much out of you.
	I feel like I have to wind myself up just to get out of bed.
	Then, well, I have to keep winding myself up to deal with the sadness, the loss of interest, the trouble concentrating.
	Yeah, it's called motivation.
	Winding yourself up.
	I know, this is the doll, right?
	Yeah.
	The wind-up doll.
	It's called being motivated, baby.
	Lack of energy.
	If depression is taking so much out of you, ask your doctor about prestige.
	Pristique is a prescription medicine proven to treat depression.
	Pristique is thought to work by affecting the levels of two chemicals in the brain, serotonin and norepinephrine.
	Tell your doctor right away if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior, or thoughts of suicide.
	Antidepressants can increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, teens, and young adults.
	Pristique is not approved for children under 18.
	Do not take Pristique with MNOIs.
	Taking Pristique with NSAID pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk.
	Tell your doctor about all your medications, including those for migraine, to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition.
	Pristique may cause or worsen high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or glaucoma.
	Tell your doctor if you have heart disease or before you reduce or...
	Hey, doc.
	Hey, doc.
	I got heart disease, just in case you hadn't noticed.
	Pristique.
	Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and sweating.
	For me, Pristique is a key in helping to treat my depression.
	Ask your doctor about Pristique.
	This is the stuff WikiLeaks should be pulling apart, man.
	Now, here's the one.
	This is what the FDA should be looking at.
	This is happy music at the end of this thing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm very happy.
	Because I don't have to wind myself up.
	I've got it all in a little pill.
	It's all nice.
	But here's the thing that bothers me about that ad.
	I mean, it seems like a standard ad with, you know, the person with some problem and then all the crap that's going to kill you, this drug, is the term right in the middle of it says, Pristique is thought to work by...
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, if you listen to this, it's right at the beginning.
	They say, pristikis thought to it.
	They don't know how it works, in other words.
	Hold on, let me hear that again.
	They have no idea.
	I want to hear that again.
	Hold on.
	Depression is a serious medical condition that can take so much out of you.
	I feel like I have to wind myself up just to get out of bed.
	Then, well, I have to keep winding myself up to deal with the sadness, the loss of interest, the trouble concentrating.
	Your man ain't buffing you right, baby.
	Lack of energy.
	If depression is taking so much out of you, ask your doctor about prestige.
	Pristica is a prescription medicine proven to treat depression.
	Pristica is thought to work by affecting the levels of two chemicals in the brain.
	Wow!
	It's thought to work.
	They don't even know if it works the way they're trying to claim it works.
	Yeah, no, it's thought to work.
	They don't know.
	They have no clue.
	Wow, words do matter.
	Yeah, words matter, man.
	That's amazing.
	Who knows what this drug is doing?
	But it's even worse.
	It's thought to work by...
	Let me just hear it again.
	It's thought to work by affecting the levels of two chemicals in the brain.
	Serotonin and norepinephrine.
	It's thought to work by affecting the levels of two chemicals in the brain.
	Wow.
	We think so.
	How can the FDA approve this shit?
	How can the FDA approve this crap?
	Hey, FDA, we think it works.
	Okay, cool.
	Yeah, we don't know what it does, but here's our theory.
	Wow.
	Meanwhile, the FDA is spending its time now looking at Triclosan, which I figured you might be able to help me out on this.
	Triclosan is an ingredient of liquid soaps, hand sanitizers, dishwashing liquids, shaving gels, and even socks, workout clothes, and toys.
	They say that Triclosan disrupts the body's endocrine system, and they don't know whether it helps to create bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
	Yeah, that's their big fear.
	So that antibiotics won't work if you have triclosan in your system?
	No, no.
	I think what they're saying is that it might be like overusing an antibiotic.
	Two or three bugs get by it, and they are the ones that survive.
	The next thing you know, they're reproducing, and they're going to be stronger than ever.
	And so now they can't be stopped.
	I think that's what my guess is.
	Hey, if you think that, it's good enough for the FDA. Hey, it's thought to work that way.
	All you gotta do is just think.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that!
	I love that.
	Meanwhile, Monsanto, our good friends, are cutting prices on their newest genetically modified seeds to accelerate adoption.
	Which apparently will help boost their profit 15% a year.
	I'm not quite sure how that works.
	So they are so desperate to get their smart stacks and roundup ready to soybeans into the marketplace that they're lowering prices to, I guess, thwart any competition of like, what do you call it?
	Oh yeah, nature.
	That's what it is.
	The world's best run company, some say.
	Fine underwriters of PBS programming.
	Yeah, definitely.
	PBS. Got a couple of real news stories if we want to do that or take a break and talk about who's zoning.
	And now, back to real news.
	Might as well hit me with one.
	How about, you know, that woman and Kayla, you know, she murdered her kid, they think, and...
	Now it turns out that this mom who's in jail, essentially, apparently talked about how she was chloroforming her kid.
	Oh, right, so she could go out and party?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, cool.
	But I got this clip here that says chloroforming the baby, and there's something in there that I just thought was a little interesting.
	What about B through Y? The practice is more common among young moms who don't want to be bothered by a crying baby.
	It's well documented.
	Casey Anthony liked to party.
	And in discovery documents, one of her friends even says at parties, quote, the kids slept through anything.
	Someone at the Anthony home looked up chloroform on the web around the time of Kaylee's disappearance.
	Where's the transaction?
	Where's the credit card receipt?
	We have forensic evidence that has been returned to us regarding the vehicle.
	She didn't just walk into Walgreens and buy chloroform.
	I just watched the f***ing news and heard everything that my mom said.
	Nobody in my own family is on my side.
	Wow.
	Okay, there's a lot of stuff in this clip.
	Yeah, there's a whole bunch.
	There's a little clip.
	So first of all, the CSI investigations has gone in and checked her web history.
	Yeah, apparently, and that's something people should be aware of.
	You can erase your history, but you obviously didn't.
	Very few people know their history, especially with Mozilla, but even with IE now.
	Essentially, everything you have looked at for the last number of months.
	Well, it doesn't matter.
	Google is tracking your history whether you're logged in or not.
	They keep it for like 18 months or whatever, or 90 days.
	The difference does it make?
	No, I thought it was a year and a half.
	I think if you're not logged in, they keep that.
	It doesn't matter.
	You believe him?
	I don't.
	Look at that Eric Schmidt.
	You keep it forever.
	Hard disks are cheap.
	Yeah, really.
	So yeah, so we got the...
	But then there was...
	I didn't know this was like a common practice.
	They start off with that, right?
	Yeah, I didn't know it was a common practice either.
	I mean, it's kind of risky because chloroform is toxic.
	It's not good for the liver, especially for a developing child.
	I mean, I can't imagine that.
	It's like roofing your child, man.
	What's going on with that?
	Yeah, whacking the kid with some chloroform to knock him out is ridiculous.
	And I need to go out.
	I feel like partying, John.
	John, I want to party.
	Let's chloroform the kids and let's go hit it.
	You ever heard of a babysitter?
	So, anyway, this woman, we watched a little bit of this.
	I mean, you can't not because this woman seems, she's an attractive mom, but she has this callous quality.
	She looks like a psycho.
	And, you know, there's a lot of talk about whether they checked her for bipolar disorder and all the rest of it.
	But it's just a pathetic distraction.
	But I did learn something about the chloroform.
	Yeah.
	You mean the use of it?
	If I ever smell chloroform around somebody's house, I'm calling, you know, I would call it.
	Yeah, but don't call Child Protective Services because then that's even worse for the kids.
	They might as well be chloroformed.
	Oops, there goes the stream again.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	You with me again?
	Yeah, you there?
	Yeah, we dropped out for a second.
	Today is not good.
	Anyway, I was just saying, don't call Child Protective Services, because the kid's better off being chloroformed.
	Yeah, in fact, that's what's going to happen to the woman who's going to eat crap, is the woman who sent the seven-year-old, this is another distraction story, very interesting one, took a seven-year-old that she adopted from Russia,
	who was apparently a psycho kid, and My wife suggested he had reactive attachment disorder, which is not uncommon for kids that were raised in orphanages when there's 100 kids in the room and nobody gets any attention or gets beaten a lot or beaten up.
	And typically a kid like this would be one of those, you know, really endearing in the early stages, the grace period.
	And then maybe five months into it, it turns into the nut ball that he is.
	And this kid apparently is a fire bug and he was wanting to burn the house down.
	He was telling everybody he was going to kill everybody in the house by burning the house to the ground.
	And I guess it got bad enough that she just basically put some paperwork on the kid, put on a plane and shipped him to Russia.
	This one's no good.
	Send it back.
	I want my rebate.
	So now all hell's breaking loose, and nobody is even bringing up any, you know, nobody is siding with the mom under any circumstances, which may be something somebody should do, but play the Russian adoption clip.
	A woman from Tennessee sparking international outrage by sending a little boy she adopted from Russia back to...
	International outrage, John.
	This is all over the papers internationally everywhere.
	I read nothing but this.
	Yeah, and Malaysia in particular.
	Moscow, but this is the interesting part.
	He was seven years old.
	He was put on board a plane all by himself with cookies and coloring pens in his backpack.
	Also inserted in the backpack, a letter from the adoptive mother saying she could no longer act as a parent for the son because of his violent and terrifying outbursts.
	Erica Lavin from WZTV has more on the story.
	Nancy Hanson is a registered nurse.
	She adopted her son last September.
	Local officials say she told an adoption agency as late as January that things in her home were going well.
	For seven months, a seven-year-old Russian boy called Bedford County home until his adoptive mother, Tori Hanson, decided she no longer wanted him.
	Bedford County investigator Becky Hoard spoke with the boy's grandmother, Nancy Hanson.
	She gave me very limited information.
	She advised me that there was a situation with the child and that she sent the child back to Russia.
	She's the one that placed the child on the airplane and in turn sent the child back to Russia.
	She wouldn't give me any information about where her daughter was.
	The child, whose family called him Justin, reportedly flew from Nashville to Washington and on to Moscow alone.
	He had a note from his mother explaining that he was violent with severe psychological issues and that she wanted the adoption annulled.
	On Friday, Tori Hansen refused to meet with the Bedford County Sheriff's Department.
	That's part of the difficulty of this case.
	We're here.
	Why are they spending so much time on this?
	I'm wondering myself.
	There's a hidden message in this story.
	Have we already missed it?
	No.
	I don't know what it is.
	I'm just saying.
	Oh, okay.
	Do we have to listen to the whole thing?
	You should listen to it because it's kind of interesting.
	Listen to this redneck sheriff for sure.
	Oh boy.
	And the child is in Russia.
	So, you know, it's hard for us to know where this child's been abused and not he's half the world away.
	The boy reportedly told Russian officials that he was abused by his mother, prompting officials there to freeze all U.S. adoptions.
	Russian reporter...
	Oh.
	There's your message.
	Yeah, the story turns on the poor mom, who's a registered nurse, by the way.
	some knowledge about things and it's probably smarter than the sheriff but they but apparently the kid who's you know just a he's one of these a bad seed i would think it sounds like and he of course plays knows how to play it i mean and uh you know who needs i to be honest about it
	i think people should be very suspect of pulling out kids from eastern europe soviet former soviet union or anyplace else where they have these huge brutal orphanages that basically create criminals Thank you.
	If they're not Manchurian candidates with embedded chips.
	Well, whatever.
	But anyway, so this is a big story going on, and I think this woman's going to end up eating.
	I don't know what she did wrong.
	I mean, the way she did it, she's so freaked out, I guess, but this is going to backfire, and she's going to be the bad guy in this whole thing, and I don't see anybody coming to her defense at all.
	So it's what happens.
	All right.
	I've got a pretty big...
	Story to talk about, which I want to get to.
	Maybe we should talk about some of the support we received this week first.
	Yeah, let's go with some people that gave us some help this week.
	Matthew Donahue in Walnut Creek sent us $139.90.
	He's clearing out his PayPal, which we recommend people do.
	He's going to do some more 66.66 donations, but he was irked by us criticizing him for the six...
	Four sixes instead of three.
	Anyway, he is going to...
	Five sixes is even better, by the way.
	I think six sixes.
	Yeah.
	Now you're talking.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, he loves the show.
	Angryfolk.com out of Pasadena, $75.
	His band, by the way, this is for you.
	This is a message for you.
	The Poxy Boggards, or Bogards.
	I think it's Boggards.
	Boggards, yeah.
	Is it Boggards?
	Yeah.
	Are performing at the Renaissance.
	They're like an Irish folk band.
	You know, it's apparently becoming very popular nowadays.
	They're performing at the Renaissance Pleasure Fair.
	Pleasure.
	Hmm.
	I wonder if there's some hot damsels there at the Pleasure Fair.
	Probably lots of damsels.
	I might check that out.
	The Renaissance Pleasure Fair.
	You're going to get a will-call pass for two.
	Nice.
	You've got to comp.
	That's even better than the donation.
	I get to see some hot maidens.
	So, you know, those things are essentially flea markets, you know, with costumes.
	And they sometimes have some decent food.
	Matthew Thomas of Bruner, Missouri, $70.85, proposal for a jobs patch.
	In other words...
	I think this relates to the Karma Club, which...
	Karma Club is where we're going to go.
	Yeah, more and more people are finding out that if you donate...
	It doesn't seem to make any difference how much you donate, but I have yet to receive some...
	Actually, I did receive one email from someone who has not gotten a job yet after donating, but that's about it.
	That's one against hundreds who donate to the show, and then through some karma, all of a sudden they get a job.
	So his idea, Matthew Thomas' idea, is to donate $70.85, which if you kind of look at it and you turn the seven upside down, it would be jobs in leet speak, I guess.
	$70.85, $70.85, $70.85.
	Okay.
	Jordan Wyatt and Christopher Lindharts, and Jordan's from New Zealand, recommends that we create a...
	By the way, they both gave 58 in honor of my birthday.
	They he wants to push a vegan group within the No Agenda knighthood.
	And Christopher that's going to happen.
	And Christopher Lind Hart Hartson from Richland, Washington, says he wish me happy birthday and you shouldn't get any of the money.
	Right.
	It's a thought.
	Frank Kruger of Seattle, Washington, 5555, a long-time donor.
	He wants a plug for his new iPad app, lcarsreader.com.
	It's a blog internet reader with a nice interface.
	Check it out.
	You use that thing.
	Is it for iPad as well?
	It's for the iPad, he says.
	P. Sneaks, the Amsterdam...
	Snakes.
	Snakes.
	Who is a founding or sustaining producer of the No Agenda stream, I believe.
	Yeah, he's a good guy.
	5555.
	Eric Ortega, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
	Ryan Lee and Ashlyn Kentucky and Keith McColpin of Imperial, Pennsylvania all fit two nickels on the dime, 5510.
	And Eric is going to test the karma thing for the job.
	So we'll- - What do you mean We're talking about he has a job.
	He has a job with us.
	What, Eric Ortega?
	Oh, I thought you meant Eric the Shill.
	No, I'm sorry.
	You confused me for a second.
	Eric Ortega.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, Eric will be our canary in the coal mine.
	He'll be our test subject.
	One of many.
	Keith, meanwhile, wants to shout out to his sons, Austin and Zach.
	And he thinks the show is great.
	Which, and he's right.
	John Tucker, Omaha, Nebraska, 5510.
	Don't forget the DBA. Someone needs to develop the link node connection of the New World Order.
	It will be the DBAs.
	What is he talking about?
	Okay, well this is about the sysadmins and the network admins that we praise, that I praise so much, who I believe will save us when the shit really hits the fan.
	But what's a DBA? A database administrator.
	Oh, yeah.
	By the way, I had an idea that I will talk about on the Daily Source Code so we can kind of break the conversation out.
	What we really need for No Agenda and the producers and our Minutemen and the militia, etc., is we need a push notification server.
	And the reason why is that this can then be used in, well, certainly in iPhone apps, and then I guess it'll also work in other...
	Right now, the iPhone is like, you know, 50 million iPhones are out there, and that enables you to send a message to anyone who has an app installed, and even if the app is not running, it'll pop up a message on your screen.
	So, you know, if something important happens, if we need something...
	Or if, you know, whatever it would be, right?
	It's like a bat signal.
	And it takes a little bit of server coding, so I'm thinking maybe we can get some of our SysNet and database admins to work together and create a push notification server.
	It's just another little thing that I've been working on on the side.
	Okay.
	Andrew Laverick, Billingham, United Kingdom...
	5073, and then we have Robert Alter, Mike Westerfield, Lisa Lang, Julie Lee, who have been donating on the night thing and the rest of it.
	Now, there's a couple lesser donations that came, but I have to talk about them because they're interesting ideas.
	Craig Peters, for example, gave $8.00.
	And he says, why $8?
	Because it's the price of that douchebag Sean Hannity's new book on Amazon.
	I challenge all No Agenda listeners.
	Douchebag!
	As long as you're not going to buy that douchebag Sean Hannity's book, send the $8 to No Agenda now.
	Yeah, we'll take it.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	And somebody won a lottery and they sent us the proceeds.
	And I think there's one more message, which is...
	Some guy, yeah, we got another one of these.
	Buck 47 because his card expired and it was in PayPal.
	Something he just gave it to us, which I recommend everybody do.
	Now here, I have an idea for everyone who cannot really give us a goodly amount, but would like to donate.
	I would like to challenge every No Agenda listener.
	Over the next seven days, go on at least a minimum of three websites that accept comments and make a pertinent comment to something or other and plug the show in the process.
	Yeah, with a link to noagendashow.com.
	With a link to noagendashow.com.
	Put it in there.
	A lot of these guys will just ban you.
	Don't go to something you worry about getting banned at.
	But just find the bigger ones.
	There's a lot of people.
	And plug the No Agenda Show on there.
	Do three of them.
	And I think we'll push our numbers up a little bit next week.
	That's a good idea.
	We've got a couple more things that came in just the very end.
	And I'm not quite sure who this is from, which is from lav2358.
	Hi, guys.
	Just sent a donation of over $50, which is 33 pounds.
	The reason for this amount is 11 pounds each for myself and two fellow listeners, Adam Sayers and Dave Pelling.
	Both of them douchebags.
	Hopefully either I'll make us all nights over time and they will contribute.
	Correction.
	We received $220.22 to plug the website Plugio.com.
	Apparently we mispronounce it.
	It's P-L-U-G-G-I-O.com.
	Plugio.com.
	Hey, that's a snappy name.
	Plugio.
	And then interesting initiative from Brian King.
	Who is spending $400...
	Actually, he says, I'm donating $400 to No Agenda.
	In lieu of cash, I've sent that sum to the Human Fund.
	Whatever that is.
	Seriously, though, he didn't send it to the Human Fund.
	He purchased an ad on a giant electronic billboard on the south side of I-69 in Noblesville, Indiana, exit 10.
	So for the next eight days, starting today, central Indiana travelers will be bombarded by your two big ugly mugs 24-7.
	That's evenings and in the morning, too.
	Those poor bastards.
	And in honor of the first person to send in a link to video showing the ad in rotation on the actual billboard itself, I'll donate double nickels on the dime, $55.10.
	So you want to send it to i69billboard at noagendarocks.com.
	And he hopes to earn a PR associate in residence once this thing hits.
	That's cool.
	Yeah, that's very good.
	That's the kind of thing, a good creative marketing and advertising, guerrilla marketing, as it were, is the way we actually prefer.
	I think it's more fun, and it gets everybody involved.
	And I think, you know, people come up with good...
	I mean, there are benches that, you know, like where people sit to pick up the bus.
	You know, you can get stuff painted on there for next to nothing.
	I mean, there's all kinds that you put things on the sides of buses.
	You can do graffiti if you know how to do it legally.
	Or graffiti.
	Or otherwise.
	And there's a lot of creative things that we can be doing.
	But I think this week we're going to push the post three comments.
	Everybody post three comments.
	There'll be like tens of thousands of comments if we're lucky.
	And it'll probably get some people, get some attention.
	All right.
	But whatever, and I guess we're still kind of flat like last week if I just look at the numbers.
	Yeah, pretty much, but I think it'll pick up.
	NoagendaShow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA, and for people who are fans of the No Agenda stream and you want to donate directly to that, it's Dvorak.org slash NAS, or as a backup, ChannelDvorak.com slash NAS. NA is an alternative site for people like in Russia who probably aren't listening to this anyway because they probably won't get the stream either,
	but they can't get on the Dvorak.org slash NA because of whatever restrictions are on that site.
	The internet is just being censored left and right.
	It's ridiculous.
	I do like your optimism, John, though.
	For the past two months, every time I say, well, we're not really moving up, you always say, I think it'll pick up.
	You always say that.
	It's not picking up.
	We have more listeners, I know that, but it's not picking up.
	Well, let's go.
	You know, one of the things that always gets us a few more contributions is when we mention to people that, look, if you go to a movie twice a month, you're spending four hours and you're spending about, I don't know what, 50 bucks.
	In a dark room with strangers, I might add.
	In a dark room.
	It depends on how big the group is, but whatever the case is, you know, twice a month, you'll probably drop $50 to $100, depending.
	Our show, we provide four hours a week of quality information that you can use to clear your brain.
	It's much more healthy, and all we're asking is what you're giving to the theater owners, which are pretty much presenting nothing but propaganda to you.
	So think about it as an entertainment value.
	so yes And along with that, free in the mix of the show notes, which are pretty extensive.
	The show notes are worth their weight in gold.
	Yeah, at the bottom of every show notes for every episode, which you can find at noagendashow.com, there's a sign-up form for our show notes email list, which will kick off very soon now.
	We're waiting for a couple thousand people to be signed up before we really...
	Crank it into high gear.
	It'll be much better for the SEO, for our site, etc.
	Because the show notes are just getting long.
	And it's like borking RSS feeds.
	It's becoming too much.
	Because there's a lot of work that goes into it.
	So in the show notes for today's program, of course, you'll find all of the links to the Polish Two to the Head story.
	A lot of work done by your colleagues, Minutemen, No Agenda Militia.
	A lot of people sent in stuff.
	So a lot of good work has gone into this.
	And it's there essentially for free, but we do need support to continue.
	Now, the Somali pirates, John, which I just want to talk about for a moment, this story really heated up beginning of the year, if I'm not mistaken.
	And we had, you know, it didn't start with a captain who was held hostage and they had this, you know, this like 18 year old kid and they arrested him and they brought him in and then it seemed like warships from all over the world were going to that region to go protect the ships from the pirates.
	Right?
	Well, I think the action, most of them, I'm not sure, but I'm thinking most of the action took place at the end of last year.
	And that's when they arrested that guy and brought him to New York and he was a big celebrity and whatever happened to him.
	Right.
	So that was in December.
	Exactly.
	In December.
	Right around the time that, of course, President Obama was getting ready to come in.
	But what was interesting is that the Dutch sent a frigate over there.
	They just blew some more...
	I mean, we're talking about guys in rubber dinghies.
	Okay, they might have a rocket launcher, but still, we've got battleships.
	And every nation sent battleships.
	The U.S., the Netherlands, I believe Germany, I think even China sent a ship over.
	And of course, you're thinking, well, yeah, we need to protect our commerce there, because it's like these pirates!
	We've got some pirates!
	And it's basically a bunch of teenagers in a rubber boat, and there's an insurance scam angle to all of that.
	But more importantly, why do we now have, and this is just approximate levels, 300 warships off the coast of Somalia?
	You'd think that's a little overkill for a couple of kids with Zodiacs, wouldn't you?
	Definitely.
	So on January 5th, and there is now a picture in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	There we go.
	The...
	Gulf of Aden, Stargate opened up.
	Oh, brother.
	And there's a lot of different information.
	And what I've done over the weekend is I've collected a lot of different pieces, interviews, pictures, videos.
	You should do a special report on this.
	I am going to.
	On the screen.
	I'm going to do it on the daily source code.
	Because this Stargate, which of course is located seven miles down, it's in the seabed, where there's also a base of some sort.
	I'm not sure whose base it is.
	An Israeli moon base.
	Now don't make fun of me now.
	This Stargate is opened up January 5th.
	Everybody knows it.
	And from what I understand from the research I've gotten so far, is that there's a magnetic field that either it comes in or goes out of this Stargate.
	And what it does is effectively renders all weapons of mass destruction ineffective.
	That's the story.
	That's the story.
	Actually, the Stargate, I believe there is a Stargate.
	It opens up and what comes out?
	Fish.
	Well, the picture of the Stargate is pretty convincing.
	And what's interesting, if you go on Google Earth and you try to look at that entire region, you can only look at the coast.
	All the water is just blue.
	It's like colorized blue.
	You don't actually see the surface of the water, so you can't see any ships or anything like that.
	Whereas if you go to the English Channel, for instance, and you zoom in with Google Earth, then you can see shipping lanes and ships.
	So, you know, I don't know.
	But there's a lot of people coming forward, all of course of their credibility can be discussed, but I find it interesting, and you know me, it's not beyond the realm of my belief that there actually is something happening there.
	And I have to say, all of these ships, all of these warships for a couple of kids in Zodiacs, and then they hold one up, like, here he is!
	Here's a pirate!
	We got him!
	And you're right, didn't hear from him again.
	It just seems a little much.
	Well, it's an interesting theory.
	I found a cool video that goes along with our Popegate coverage.
	Of course, the Pope, he was Cardinal Ratzinger before he became, what is he now?
	What is his Popage?
	He's a Pope.
	No, what is his papal name?
	Well, that's a good question.
	Why wouldn't I know?
	I don't know.
	Anyways...
	Paul V or something like that, isn't it?
	So in 2008, August 24th, he comes out of...
	I'm not quite sure.
	He's coming out of...
	Paul V, the sixth.
	The sixth.
	He's coming out of a...
	A meeting.
	I'll just call it a meeting.
	Maybe it was church.
	And I think it was an ABC reporter comes up to him and starts asking him about what is now the Popegate scandal about this, I guess you would officially call it a pedosexual, not even a pedophile, about a pedosexual priest who Ratzinger at the time, Cardinal Ratzinger, just transferred to another station Another bass, and kind of covered up the whole thing.
	And he actually winds up slapping the reporter.
	Now, of course, you can't see that.
	He slaps him on the hand.
	You can't see it, but you can hear the slap, and you can hear his answers, which are like, this is no time to ask me questions about this.
	Do not talk to me.
	Shut up, slave!
	I want to ask you a question about father muscle death.
	No, I am not so informed of what you speak in this moment.
	This is even, I think, inconvenient in this moment to come to me.
	It's inconvenient at this moment to come to me with this question, you slave, who do you think you are?
	I think there is a question whether you...
	In another moment, come to me...
	Did you hear it?
	Yeah, it's good.
	Come to me, slap.
	Come to me?
	Just a moment, just give.
	Not yet.
	Not yet.
	I'm not just ready.
	It's Pope Benedict XVI. There you go.
	He just slaps the guy.
	I think it's Pope Paul for.
	I don't know.
	He just slaps the guy.
	Shut up.
	Shut up.
	This is not a convenient time for me to talk about my cover-up.
	Shut up.
	Some good feedback from one of our producers, who, of course, anonymity guaranteed in this case, about the new shoe bomber.
	And what that could be about, of course, we immediately say, you know, what the hell is going on with this?
	Why do we have this so-called guy smoking a cigarette or, you know, then claiming...
	You know, the information was so sketchy.
	The first thing I'd like to do is I'd like to play some of the air traffic control tapes for you that actually kind of placed it a little bit into context.
	Apparently, this diplomat from Qatar...
	Announced or made the joke that he was lighting his shoe on fire while in the air because only 20 minutes after it happened, this is what went out on air traffic control.
	We're ready.
	1162, roger.
	A report that came out about 20 minutes ago that a passenger on an airliner attempted to light his shoe on fire and we are now required to broadcast to all pilots to use extra vigilance and advise us through the anomalies in the passenger cabin.
	Boy, here we go again.
	Okay, thanks.
	We'll let the guys know in the back.
	I like that, too.
	We'll let the guys know in the back.
	The air marshals, who apparently have only arrested four people since they were installed.
	In fact, there's more air marshals who have been arrested for DUI and other offenses than they've actually arrested on airplanes.
	That's a good use of the text.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	So, what is this all about?
	Well, one of our anonymous producers says, a friend of mine is in risk management for Deloitte, that's Deloitte and Touche, currently in negotiations between the TSA and the Department of Defense for new Boeing technology.
	He says, my friend represents the TSA.
	We believe the Department of Defense is making TSA out to look bad.
	Everyone involved, including my friend who represents the TSA, wants the TSA to lose the negotiation because they're regarded by everyone in government and business as buffoons.
	It would be easy to pay a diplomat to light a smoke on a plane.
	Making sure the diplomat was Middle Eastern makes good headlines and TSA looks bad.
	I think that's an interesting angle.
	Well...
	The guy's an idiot if he took a payoff just to do that because there's been too many instances.
	I mean, the original shoe bomber, what's his name?
	I can't remember.
	He actually lit a shoe on fire.
	Who actually lit a shoe on fire, got conked on the head by one of the passengers with a fire extinguisher and beat the crap out of it by everybody else.
	I mean, one of the things we have to realize, and I think which is something that appears...
	Kind of ignore when we move toward a nanny state is that people really can take care of themselves.
	They don't need necessarily, you know, all this help from modernism.
	In fact, if it wasn't for the passengers themselves on many of these incidents, it would have gone out of control before.
	It was always a passenger nearby, the crazy kid from Yemen.
	It was the same thing.
	It was that Dutch guy who jumped him.
	Oh, you mean Yemen right by the Gulf of Aden?
	You mean that Yemen?
	You mean with the Stargates letting out more fish?
	Okay.
	Hey, you know what?
	Even if it let out more fish, that's good too.
	It is.
	They need fish there.
	We need fish.
	So anyway, so there's, you know, it's, I don't know.
	I don't think this is plausible.
	It's an interesting theory though.
	Well, it's nice to know that the TSA is actually bidding on commercial projects.
	That's pretty cool.
	Well, you know, you got to do something to make money.
	But I think it's humorous that I don't know who this anonymous reporter is, but the idea that everyone thinks they're a bunch of buffoons I think is borne out by dealing with them.
	The fact that they are buffoons, perhaps?
	Yeah, it seems so.
	You're running into some nice ones here and there, but it's pretty far and few between.
	Most of them are officious jerks.
	They're barking at you constantly.
	I gotta say, the ones that are at the smaller regional airports, at least the ones that I deal with, Burbank and Oakland, they're nice.
	Yeah, Burbank and Oakland's a good combination.
	They haven't put the x-ray machines in the Oakland airport yet.
	That's a plus.
	I try to fly out of there mostly.
	And they're actually pretty nice in Seattle, too.
	I haven't run into too many characters.
	San Francisco, they're very officious and they take way too long to look.
	You come up to them and they get that little blue light.
	I don't even know what that thing does.
	I guess it looks like something on your driver's license.
	What is the deal with that?
	You know, that's so weird.
	I mean, what are they looking at?
	No, they're not looking for anything.
	And by the way...
	They just make it look like they're looking for something.
	And then they hold the license up and look at you and look at the license and look at you and look at the license and look at you and look at the license and they say, hmm, looks like...
	And it's always that uncomfortable moment.
	Do you look back at them?
	Because if I look back, you know, I know they're going to see you in my face like, cocksucker.
	I always smile.
	I give them a big, phony smile.
	I get that.
	But what's interesting here, what's really interesting, something changed in the procedure, which I was thinking about the other day.
	It used to be you'd hit that first person in the mouth, so they do the blue light, they check it, and then they would write something.
	Basically, they just sign their name now, but they used to write...
	A little check mark or SSSS, which meant secondary screening.
	And then before you would go through the metal detector, you would have to show your boarding card to another agent who then would say, oh, wait a minute, this guy's been tagged.
	Let's give him a secondary.
	But now they just put their signature on it like they're signing autographs like they're a rock star.
	And no one looks at your boarding pass anymore.
	So who was doing the actual profiling?
	So what is the purpose of that signature?
	Other than to cover their own ass, like this guy was checked.
	Do you remember what I mean, John?
	It used to be like they would write a check mark, you had to show that to someone else, and then you could go through.
	I think it's still up for grabs because the last couple of times I've flown, one of them scribbled all over.
	There was somebody at Oakland, as a matter of fact.
	Scribbled all over, circled this, circled that, checked this, and then it made a mess out of the thing.
	Because it's like scribbling on the menu at McDonald's when you're eating a Happy Meal.
	It makes no sense.
	They're just there to scribble.
	In fact, they probably can't write.
	They just scribble.
	And so the next thing, and the other thing, by the way, that they changed is that there used to be a process where you kept your, keep your boarding pass, keep your boarding pass, keep your boarding pass.
	Yeah, and the other one says, you don't need your boarding pass, put it through.
	And the, uh, and they would, I remember getting checked for the boarding pass after walking through the metal detector.
	You get your boarding pass, you know, and you say, yeah, here, and they look at it.
	And then they, it's like, I was just checked a minute ago, and you think I'm switching boarding passes with who?
	They don't do that anymore.
	I'm telling you.
	No, they don't.
	They don't do that anymore.
	You got another clip, or what do you want to do?
	Well, let's see.
	Do I? It's not up on the screen.
	Then, while you're looking for that, interesting article in San Diego News about, in a way, back up my earthquake machine theories, talking about the weird cloud patterns before earthquakes.
	Right.
	And they've got a number of pictures, including a beautiful picture of Over Carmel Valley, five days before the Baja California earthquake.
	And it's a sky that I've never seen before.
	Cloud formations that, by the way, look very reminiscent of those weird radar that you call interferences over Australia that we've been seeing for the past couple months.
	Kind of circular, more like Ninja Star.
	And you've got to think if somehow that may not be related to HAARP. Where, you know, the signals are sent and bounced and maybe it's done ahead of time.
	I mean, I don't know.
	But I'm seeing more mainstream news.
	Sorry, it's the Union Tribune.
	I'm seeing more mainstream news picking up on this.
	On these weird, you know, of course we had reports in Chile.
	You know, the sky was all kinds of strange colors.
	Weird cloud formations.
	Yeah, that could be from the piezoelectric effect.
	Yeah, but this is five days...
	Oh, you mean from HAARP? No, not from HAARP. From the ground moving.
	No, but this is five days before.
	Yeah, it could be.
	I don't know, maybe these things, I mean, I think the frogs go nuts a few days or the day before.
	They don't do it just a minute before.
	Do you actually ever believe in any of this stuff?
	No, not really.
	I do believe in the theory that HAARP is being used as a transmission, a way to speed up global transmissions of radio signals.
	I kind of buy into that.
	What does that mean?
	Let's go to a clip.
	Okay.
	Because the new terminology has cropped up.
	This should have followed the clip with the TSA because I find a new cop term In this clip.
	And this is a non-story that I picked up from one of the Seattle news stations.
	A total non-story.
	Completely ridiculous.
	But what fascinated me was the new term.
	Hit it.
	It's what?
	Man Without Bomb.
	No, I didn't know which one to play.
	Yeah, man.
	I was just guessing.
	I'm like, maybe this one?
	All right.
	What looked like a bomb in Spokane Valley ended up being household items strapped together with duct tape.
	Police tried to negotiate.
	Wait, it was about you.
	That's how you travel.
	Always.
	Household items with duct tape.
	Strapped together with duct tape.
	Police tried to negotiate with a man who had that device strapped to his chest.
	They eventually got him to strip, and then it was determined it was nothing dangerous.
	He had something on his chest.
	He was obviously having some kind of mental episode.
	We divorced him from that item.
	We're taking him to the hospital to be evaluated.
	The man was not arrested, and no charges will be filed.
	Okay.
	Have you ever heard that term before?
	We divorced him from the item.
	I'm going through that myself right now.
	I'm trying to divorce myself from an item.
	It's about a cop term.
	We divorced him from his weapon.
	I didn't know he was married to the weapon.
	What is the actual definition of divorce?
	Well, apparently in this term it means separate.
	I guess it's probably a proper term, but this is, you're right, I think this is like typical, yeah, you know, typical cops trying to sound like they have a vocabulary.
	To sound good, yeah, like, yeah, we've divorced him.
	Divorce, noun, one, the legal disillusion of marriage, two, a complete or radical severance of closely connected things.
	Yeah.
	Well, they get something taped to you with duct tape.
	It's pretty closely connected.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	So they were just hitting Gitmo Nation East for a second, right in the mouth.
	Of course, they rammed through this digital economy bill, which pretty much closes down the Internet whenever...
	Well, that's it.
	It's over.
	You might as well move out of the country if you want to have internet pretty soon.
	People will have to get new routers, which of course will have back doors.
	If you're caught downloading illegal stuff, then you can get cut off and you can't get an internet connection.
	Of course it's going to kill the whole concept of open wifi and internet cafes.
	But the Right Honorable Stephen Timms, who is the United Kingdom's Minister for Digital Britain, who is apparently the guy behind this digital economy bill, sent a letter to another Member of Parliament Explaining why the digital economy bill needs to go forward.
	And I'd just like to read this to you because this is Mr.
	Digital Britain, the guy who understands it all.
	It reads, in part,"...copyright owners are currently able to go online, look for material to which they hold the copyright, and identify unauthorized sources for that material." They can then seek to download a copy of that material, and in so doing, capture information about the source, including the intellectual property address.
	What's that mean?
	Well, he means IP address.
	Oh, you're kidding!
	That is too funny!
	Which is internet protocol, except he writes the intellectual property address, which shows you how these guys are thinking!
	Well, no, it shows you what boneheads they are.
	This is like the Vivek Kundra thing that I always complain bitterly about.
	They don't know anything.
	They're bullshitters.
	Yeah.
	Yet they ram this bill through with, like, they let 40 guys in and kept the rest out, or the middle of the night, or however they did it.
	Yeah, we got a sign.
	Oh, yeah, this sounds good.
	This sounds good.
	Let's sign that.
	It's an actual property address.
	Yeah.
	What a douche, huh?
	I love it.
	And something we just can't overlook.
	I know we've talked about it, but it keeps coming back in the news.
	And it's really just not being analyzed by anyone.
	Everyone should be up in arms about this.
	That there is now apparently executive privilege to go and kill American citizens without due process.
	Yeah, I'm concerned about this, too.
	So this is about Anwar...
	This is murder.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	Yeah, well, this is like...
	Yeah, murder.
	It's like...
	It's like what they did with Gary Weaver, which is a guy we have to always remember.
	You know, some sharpshooter, they know who he is.
	The FBI went to raid this guy's camp because he was a tax protester and kind of a screwball.
	And they go shoot his wife dead, the sniper.
	Right next to him.
	Right next to him.
	In the doorway.
	Yeah.
	And it's like a double homicide, and they know who the guy is who did it.
	He was under orders, obviously, to do it.
	No charges were ever filed.
	And why not?
	They charge people for running over somebody's stubbed toe.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	Charges never filed.
	It makes no sense.
	This seems a bit more egregious, though.
	So we have Anwar al-Awalki.
	How can it be more egregious?
	They actually executed some normal housewife.
	I suppose they have some bogus excuse for this guy.
	Well, I think it's one thing, yeah, I think what's more egregious is that the president has a hit list, and he can put you on the hit list, and it's like a dead or alive thing, which, of course, George Bush planted that meme firmly, dead or alive, for Osama bin Laden.
	Boy, you know, Nixon wished he had this.
	Yeah.
	This power, you mean?
	Yeah.
	So, Anwar al-Awlaki, the CIA, has been expressly authorized by the White House to kill him no matter where he is found.
	And he is an American citizen.
	Now, you know, this guy may be the worst guy on earth.
	But we just don't go out and kill American citizens without due process or bringing them in.
	That's just not how it works.
	Isn't that just a complete meltdown of...
	That's ridiculous.
	We don't, this guy's never been on trial.
	We don't know what he's got to do with anything.
	It's all hearsay.
	It's the worst kind of evidence.
	It's just like, oh, it's like talking about your neighbor and saying, you know, that they did this and they did that.
	You don't know.
	And the other possibility exists, though, which I have to consider, is that this guy is actually some sort of a double agent and this murder of him is just an extraction process and he'll never really be killed or just be put back into some other situation.
	How about that for an idea?
	American counter-terrorism officials say Mr.
	Aulaki is an operative of, and here's our favorite, John, A-L-A-P, A-Q-A-P, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
	Yeah, our new one.
	The affiliate of the terror network in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, so they're franchised.
	And they have the affiliation papers to pay for it, and they get 10 cents for every link.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	It's like a giant AdSense.
	AdSense on the Arabian Peninsula.
	Well, just call it AdSense.
	El AdSense.
	They say they believe he has become a recruiter for the terrorist network, feeding prospects into plots aimed at the United States and Americans abroad, officials said, of course, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
	The danger Al-Waqi poses to this country is no longer confined to words.
	Oh, really?
	He's gotten involved in plots.
	Yeah, this is a new one.
	I'm hearing a lot of plots.
	Plots.
	There's a plot.
	So, yeah.
	Death penalty imposed without due process.
	It's weird and people are not...
	Well, what's really double weird about it is that Obama being a very liberal Democrat and supported by very liberal...
	And a constitutional law scholar.
	Yeah, well, but the typical voter for him is against the death penalty, let alone, what would they think about it?
	This isn't even the death penalty by due process.
	It's just out-and-out murder.
	How can his supporters support this?
	It's beyond me.
	I mean, I can see where some conservatives would think it's fine, but, you know, I can't see the Obama supporters supporting this at all.
	They should be up in arms about it.
	I mean, every two-bit, you know, super rapist and serial killer in California, every time they want to put him in a gas chamber, they have, you know, midnight vigils that go on for weeks on end.
	Yeah.
	Don't look over here.
	But I still think this is something...
	This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
	I think that this is...
	This whole...
	It may just be giving the guy credibility so he can go deeper.
	I don't know.
	Who knows?
	Or he's a CIA agent gone rogue who they have to take out.
	But still, you know...
	Well, that could be true.
	You can't...
	This is where we...
	This is where our...
	Unless we get some sort of tip-off based on, you know, some piece of information that gets...
	Like in a newspaper article where there's one subtle piece of information that could tip you off, it's completely impossible to determine what the deal is with this whole story.
	We're just in the dark.
	Speaking of sketchy reports, a new report circulating the Kremlin...
	Authored by France's Dictorat General for External Security, DGSE, which was obtained by Kremlin intelligence, quotes French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who of course recently was hanging out with our president, stating President Barack Obama is possibly insane.
	According to the report, Sarkozy was appalled at Obama's vision of what the world should be under his guidance and amazed at the American president's unwillingness to listen to either reason or logic.
	Sarkozy's meeting where these impressions of Obama were forced took place about two weeks ago in the White House.
	And upon his leaving, he says he scolded Obama and the U.S. for not listening close enough to what the rest of the world has to say, which is actually, that was reported by Associated Press.
	But the actual words, because there is a translation, Dangereux, aliené.
	Which means a lunatic.
	He might be insane.
	I can see Sarkozy saying that.
	Don't you think?
	Of course, he's the lunatic.
	He's totally busy.
	Typical French, they always think if you don't agree with everything they do, then you're nuts.
	By the way, that's my travel tip people are always looking for.
	When you go to France, and I've never had a bad time in France.
	I love going there.
	But one of the things you have to do is you have to appreciate what they're up to in terms of their wine and food and everything, their designs, the way they lay out their stores.
	And you have to constantly compliment them.
	And so if you go to France and you go, oh my god, this is like the best thing I've ever had, instead of trying to be the glib American who's trying to be cool, you actually become very emotive, and you emote everything.
	You say, this is fantastic.
	If we only had stuff like this in the United States, it would be much better there.
	And things like that.
	And the French recognize you, even though you're an American, they recognize you as someone who's an obvious genius to see how great they are.
	And the fact that you're noticing how great they are means you must be the smartest person in the world.
	Now, the thing that's interesting is that when you do this, they're suckers for compliments to an extreme, let's put it that way.
	But when you do this, all kinds of free stuff starts showing up.
	It's amazing how much...
	Oh, really?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, I'm talking about major, major, major freebies that you start getting from these French guys.
	It's astonishing.
	What do you think of this?
	What about this?
	What about this?
	Here, take this home.
	Really?
	Here, have my sister.
	Very much.
	Just short of that.
	At least, you know, that can happen.
	Really?
	Okay.
	Oh, yeah.
	Hmm.
	I think we need a trip to France.
	That's funny.
	You just follow my lead.
	Don't act your normal self.
	That's funny.
	Just a couple of things from Gitmo Nation OG. A couple of...
	I must say, I just received my California state income tax refund.
	It was a real check.
	It wasn't huge.
	But it was an IOU? No, it was not an IOU. Unlike Hawaii, North Carolina, and New York, who are delaying refunds this year, Minnesota has delayed some business tax refunds, and Alabama is waiting to send out millions of dollars in refunds because they're out of cash.
	Missouri did this last year, actually, to beef up its cash reserves.
	Now, the queer thing about this, of course, is it's not the state's money.
	It's our money.
	It's like it's your dough, and they're holding on to it.
	And I find that disconcerting, to say the least.
	In Ohio, in Jefferson County, they do want to send back the income tax returns, but of course they're cutting the budget.
	And the sheriff, whose staff went down by...
	What is it?
	I'm looking for it.
	He had a huge cut.
	And people say, well, you know, what are we going to do about security?
	Well, he says, you can arm yourself.
	That might be the best thing to do.
	Arm yourself and protect yourselves.
	And Judge Mackey, who was a part of...
	Some of the budget cuts said the same thing.
	People have to arm themselves.
	We're going back to the good old days, John.
	Open carry.
	Yeah.
	Boy, that's big.
	Open carry.
	And there's one thing I wanted to ask you about before we leave, because it's kind of like a real news thing, but it caught my eye yesterday, and I tried to find a clip, and of course I was watching it on the cable box that doesn't have Rewind in the kitchen.
	And it's about the Civil War.
	And this has kind of been bothering me.
	So the, what is it, McDonnell, was he a congressman?
	What the hell is he?
	I'm sorry, Virginia governor, proclaimed April as Confederate History Month.
	And so in this proclamation, he forgot to mention slavery.
	And so everyone got up in arms and the president said, oh, this is horrible.
	And of course he says he rescinded.
	He said, I'm sorry.
	That was clearly an oversight.
	But now I'm watching CNN and what I'm hearing is, well, the Civil War was about slavery.
	I'm like, no, it wasn't.
	I mean, it was a part of it.
	But the Civil War was not about slavery.
	And I'm actually seeing debates about Of people out loud saying, you need to read your history book.
	The Civil War was about slavery.
	John, please help me because I believe you were in the Confederate Army at the time.
	What exactly was the Civil War about?
	Was it not about the succession of the states and states' rights?
	It was basically about states' rights and the fact that a lot of the states were...
	I mean, there was underlying the origins of the Civil War was an issue of slavery because the southern states were starting to feel that the federal government, which was really just set up as just a little bureaucracy to keep commerce at an even which was really just set up as just a little bureaucracy to keep commerce at an even keel They started to feel at some point, and by the way, this is all debatable, but there's a lot of – you can read –
	Kenneth Stamps got a really good book about the origins of the Civil War where he found a bunch of essays that of the time that all kind of describing – And when you read the stuff from at the moment, it seemed to be that you just didn't want to get pushed around by the central government.
	They were totally against.
	And they thought that the central government was taking too many liberties.
	And they decided to split off and form their own government, the Confederate States of America.
	And they started it, of course, by attacking Fort Sumter.
	And it just kind of deteriorated.
	And once Lincoln freed the slaves, then it became only about slavery.
	And that's when it got all these...
	By the way, there's another issue here, which is that this was instigated, at least it was believed until World War I, that much of this war...
	Between the states was instigated by Britain and France who wanted to grab most of our country.
	Yeah, they wanted to break it up.
	Especially to get the gold out of California.
	Right.
	Divide and conquer.
	And so the whole thing has very screwy beginnings.
	I mean, if it wasn't for England and France, it's quite possible that we would never have had a civil war.
	So this douchebag, Don Lemon, on CNN. Have you ever seen this guy?
	He's on a lot.
	Don C. Lemon, I think he is.
	And it's important for me to mention that he's black.
	And he has these two Civil War reenactment people on, who of course are in their get-ups.
	And he literally says, you know, people who reenact the Civil War, it's offensive to me as a black man.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	Because when you reenact the Civil War, that's all about slavery and you're celebrating slavery.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	And then he gets this other black guy on who is also a Civil War reenactor, and this guy, and he was on via satellite, and this is why I've got to find this clip.
	I'll find it if I can.
	If anyone has it, send it to me.
	You've got to play it on Thursday.
	So this other guy, this black Civil War reenactor, he starts saying, this was not about slavery.
	Yes, it was a part of it.
	And then Don Lemon does, oh, I'm sorry, I've got to cut you off.
	We've got to go to commercial.
	Before the guy can even get in and start his explanation.
	It happened three times.
	But he actually was saying, oh, so you think slavery is good?
	Slavery is a good thing.
	It's like, no, I don't think that.
	Well, when you celebrate Confederate History Month, you're celebrating slavery.
	It's like, no.
	And does this, do you think, have anything to do with the fact that there are 12 or 13 states who are now suing over the health care bill and are talking about states' rights and are they trying to steer this conversation away from what the Civil War actually was about and trying to, I guess, marginalize that out of the conversation?
	And I'd like to know, for our younger listeners out there, what is in your history book in school?
	Because there's a lot of talk on this show about here's what the history books tell us.
	The books have been rewritten time after time.
	If you want to read about the Civil War, the causations, and the rest of it, I mean, Kenneth Stamps got a good selection of essays.
	I don't have it here, and I can't remember the title, but I'll get it for next week, which is very interesting to read because there's some really wild theories that came out in the 1870s and 1880s.
	But if you read any history book, go to one of these library swap meets where they sell all their books off and find some old American history book from the late 1800s and sit down and read it.
	It's like reading stuff you've never heard of.
	Because the history has been massaged and rewritten and massaged and rewritten.
	It's like the Japanese do with World War II. They have rewritten the history of the World War II to the point where the young people in Japan think that all it was about was about bombing them with an atom bomb.
	There's really nothing else to it.
	It was just a bunch of pricks from the United States bombing us with an atom bomb.
	And you go back closer to the source...
	You know, closer to 1860, and you start to see, you know, a different picture painted, and it has been reinterpreted and reinterpreted and reinterpreted, and political correctness crept in, and agendas crept in, and the next thing you know, what you're reading, which is one of the reasons homeschooling is better than public schooling, what you're reading is garbage.
	It's just a mishmash of, I mean, it's good to read, but you're not reading anything real.
	It's just terrible.
	The President says, quote, I don't think you can understand the Confederacy and the Civil War unless you understand slavery.
	That just sounds slanted.
	I think people are inciting racial hatred in America.
	Oh yeah, I think so too.
	They really are.
	They're going out of their way.
	And I think there is, in a way, still a North and South fight going on for industry.
	Maybe the Confederacy and the Union divide never ended.
	But it's weird.
	If you talk to Southerners, they tell you that the Baptist Church, for short, is still stuck in 1860.
	And the general vibe around the world, and I remember this quite well from watching a Top Gear episode, which really accentuated.
	It got me quite mad, actually.
	Oh, the one where he drove around the South?
	Yeah, they drove around the South with, like, you know, I'm gay on the side of his car and stuff like that.
	And, of course, they pick a bunch of choice rednecks yelling at him and trying to beat him up.
	There is a general vibe around the world that people in the South of America are all racist.
	They all hate black people.
	And, you know, I just don't find that to be true.
	It's not true.
	And the fact is, yeah, there's rednecks down in the South.
	But, like, somebody pointed out to me once, she said, anytime there's, like, a disaster or something happens in the state of Texas, the news media looks for the dumbest guy they can find to get them to say something really stupid to make it look like all Texans are idiots.
	Which they certainly are not.
	Throughout the South, and if you actually go to the South, you find this is, you know, they got...
	Great universities and colleges, and one of the best technical universities that keeps up with Caltech and MIT is Georgia Tech.
	It's right in the middle of Atlanta.
	They're not producing a bunch of dummies, and there's a lot of smart people all over the South, and there's a lot of dummies, but it's the same thing in the North.
	Stereotype is really designed to be hurtful, and it's part of the...
	I would blame the New York Times and the impetus of the media, the northern media, the northern-dominated big media for this whole thing.
	I mean, if you watch CNN, those people aren't stupid, and they're all in Atlanta.
	So I would advise people to go to the show notes at noagendashow.com because you just brought up a very interesting point.
	And under the Ministry of Truth heading, there is an article.
	You sent that to me, John, I presume for the show notes.
	Yeah.
	And it's from, was it Jihad Watch?
	Is that who wrote this?
	Yeah, Jihad Watch did a deconstruction, I mean, bigger one than I would ever do, to an extreme, of an article that ran on April 2nd in the New York Times, which was titled, Muslims Try to Pray in Spanish Cathedral.
	And the New York Times, if you read the Jihad Watch version of the story and you read the New York Times version, you realize that there is a subtle kind of...
	Well, the article really starts off by saying the New York Times didn't warn anyone about Jews being killed.
	The New York Times didn't warn anyone about...
	In World War II. Yeah, in World War II. New York Times, if they had, maybe things would have been different.
	Essentially, they're saying the New York Times is full of shit.
	Totally.
	Yeah, that's essentially what it says.
	But it's really good to read that because, you know, the New York Times is the paper of record.
	And, of course, we all know that they have your birth date correct.
	But I'll tell you, this deconstruction is quite good.
	It's quite good.
	I mean, it really breaks down the New York Times article on how it's a piece of propaganda.
	Pro-Muslim, by the way.
	Propaganda trying to ignore the fact that there is at least some Muslims that are out there trying to cause trouble.
	Yeah.
	You know, they're also on Facebook causing trouble.
	You know how many times I get friended by, or get a friend request from Muslims telling me that, you know, I should join all these great groovy people in their group?
	So, quite a lot.
	And I wonder if...
	Maybe they want you to join the great groovy people in their group.
	Yeah.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think so because I'm more worried that there are a bunch of CIA shills who will then come back and say he even had friends of Al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula on his Facebook.
	Of course, that's exactly what's going on.
	John, enjoyable as always.
	We have a new Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged on noagendastream.com and a new daily source code for your listening pleasure.
	And we'll be back later on in the week.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from the Buzzkill Lodge in the Pacific Northwest, Where it's actually quite pleasant.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday.
