Time Text
Yeah, it shirked off that creepy guy that ran Homeland Security.
Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, September 30th, 2010.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 239er.
This is No Agenda.
Preparing for my Gitmo jewelry package to arrive here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the fog has returned, finally, I'm John C. Devorah.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Yo.
In the morning to you, Joe.
So how's the weather down there?
Is it still hot?
No, it finally cooled off.
Yesterday we actually had a couple of droplets of rain.
And a rainbow.
Global warming.
Global warming, I know.
In the morning to all ships at sea and all the human resources in the chat room at noagendachat.net.
I hope you're all charged up and ready to go the way your government loves you because Gitmo Nation is alive and well, my friends.
And very strong.
So I understand you're not feeling your best.
No, yesterday I think Mickey gave it to me.
I had like a throat ache and I had a fever yesterday.
It's really weird.
Was it something you ate or you think it's a virus?
No, I think it's just a virus.
A throat ache.
I mean, does that come from something you eat?
No.
Are you Googling?
Throat ache.
Let me see what he could have.
I'm going to see if the spreadsheet came in.
It came in, like, at 1 this morning.
Oh, really?
Yeah, you've got to go way back.
Because I did it last night.
Oh, that's why I didn't see it.
Yeah, you've got to go way back.
I got, like, 400 pieces of mail between midnight and 1.
I know.
I was like, did Eric fall out of bed, or was he not able to get into bed?
I don't know what happened.
But, no, it was real early.
No, that was actually quite good.
And, anyway, so I feel kind of crappy, man.
I don't know what's going on.
It could also be...
Could be swine flu, my friend.
Swine flu.
Yes, could be the shit they chemtrail over the house.
Could be all kinds of stuff.
And by the way, the helicopters have not stopped.
What do you think that's all about?
I don't know, man.
And no one else seems to know either.
And it's Chinooks in formation, and they're gray, by the way.
All these...
So I don't know which division they belong to, but they're gray.
And then there's Blackhawks, and then there's Apaches.
And then there's Apaches.
Apaches flying over.
I don't get it.
I don't understand why.
The Apaches are disturbing, yeah.
Yeah, particularly because they looked armed and loaded.
Cocked and loaded.
They've got, like, sticks hanging on the side, which to me means, like, missiles and stuff.
Anyway.
So, why don't you ask around?
Call the cops and ask them.
Yeah.
No, I have been asking.
I've been asking on the show, and no one seems to know.
Everyone else says, yeah, that's kind of weird.
I haven't seen that for a while.
No one seems to care.
No one in Los Angeles cares.
I'm like, what?
I didn't see anything, man.
Have you seen the new season lineup, though?
That's all they care about here.
Have you seen the new shows?
Jennifer Aniston can't buy a hit.
That's all the talk is here, man.
It's fucking crazy.
It's totally useless.
Totally useless.
Hey, anyway, I had a very nice week, though.
Of course, now I have wheels.
I have a 1999 Saab Niner 3 Turbo, which cost me three grand.
It's a great car.
I'm discovering more things about this.
One, the lights do not turn off.
They turn off when you turn off the key.
It's like they're always on.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I don't know why that is.
No, there's something.
You've got something turned wrong.
No, no, no.
The light switch is absolutely ineffective.
And there's this thing that has a button on the dash for night mode, so you can, I guess, dim your lights or something.
It actually cuts out power to the entire dashboard.
It's like everything goes off.
Not just the light and the dashboard.
Yeah, it wants to turn down the lights because at night you don't want to be blinded by your dashboard.
No, no, but it also turns off the fuel gauge, the tachometer, the speedometer.
Everything goes to zero.
Oh, it just turns everything off.
Everything just off, yeah.
Maybe it's for stealth driving.
I don't know.
But the roof is in good condition.
It's a convertible.
So I just have that down.
I'm kind of like, what's the guy from Californication?
No, no, man.
What's the guy from Californication who drives the Porsche convertible with one headlight shot?
That's kind of this car.
Except it's not a Porsche.
It's a Saab.
That's 113,000 on the clock.
Well, I've always thought you were a sob guy down underneath it all.
Oh, please.
That is so rude.
Why is that rude?
I'm not a sob guy.
That's a horrible thing to say.
In fact, if anything, I'm a total anti-SAB guy.
It's just the worst.
But I have to say, the car's nice.
It runs fine.
No, actually, I've driven those SABs, and they're actually fairly...
They're kind of weird.
They got weird things like the keyhole.
Yeah, it's in the middle.
It's like up and down, so if you spill your coffee, the car will never work again.
It'll never start again.
It's right in the middle between the seats.
Why would they do that?
And it's up and down.
That's the joke of it.
No, it's when it's up and down.
You put the key down into it.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why would they do that?
In other words, if you spill something, it goes down into the keyhole.
Yeah, that's true.
Don't spill anything.
Don't spill anything.
But anyway, 113,000 miles and it's still going strong.
Starts every morning like that.
So it was a nice week that I had a car to toodle around and didn't talk to you at all since the last show, which is also always nice.
Because, you know, it's kind of like a girlfriend I haven't seen in a while.
Now I feel good about talking to you.
Yeah, and you get to hear these stories about what's going on in the office.
Yeah, you haven't told me what's going on at the office.
Well, so Butler and Eddie, and people can find Eddie on my blog, he's a...
A millennial.
A celebrity.
He's a celebrity.
He's a celebrity.
He's doing a walk-on on House, I hear.
Butler, and they went to the TechCrunch Douchebag Festival.
Oh, my goodness.
You know, we were watching that.
Actually, we did speak.
We texted messages for a while while we were watching...
John Doerr and Bing Gordon at the opening show.
Did you stick around long enough to listen to Bing's poem?
Little brother.
So anyway.
Yeah, it was pretty bad.
So Butler, who thinks everybody's a douchebag, goes over there and they decide out of the blue to make up some bullcrap story that they're going to get people to give them their two-minute elevator pitch, but the microphones aren't working right.
They're recording this.
Because of interference, so they're going to have to hold the mic way up in the air or way down by the ground.
So it sounds really good.
No, no.
So the guy has to bend over while he's giving his pitch.
So he's talking to the ground?
Yeah.
That's a professional.
And then the other one, he's got the mic way up in the air, so the guy's like on his tiptoes trying to...
And these guys aren't picking up on it.
But anyway, so...
Anyway, all right.
Hey, John, did anyone check in as a producer for this program?
Yeah, we got some good producers this week.
We got one, two, three, four, five executive producers and one associate.
Wow.
Okay.
And...
Sweet.
So then one, of course, we went to Knighthood, which is Peter Martine.
Love the show.
Keep up the good work.
Knighthood and executive producer, $3,000.
Did you just come out of the blue?
Yeah.
Great.
He's been with us before because he's donated before, apparently.
Well, thank you.
Fred Lust from Kutchenville, Ohio, has finished his Knighthood donation with $663.23.
And then Paul Couture, SirPaul54321, I'd like to deem this the hit it donation.
Keep up the great work.
The 101010 coins have sold out.
Oh, wow.
He's done it again, hasn't he?
How about we promote the tour and tell Adam and Mickey where to go?
I've been telling them where to go for a while.
It doesn't help.
You know, Mr.
Oil sent me a note, and apparently he has indeed secured the RV for November, which is great.
I think we might have to do this tour in two parts.
I think it's actually really good.
So I'm recommending that we drive west coast to east coast in November so I can hit upstate New York for Thanksgiving.
And then we can drive back.
And then maybe in the spring we do some of the colder regions.
Because I'm not going to go to Alaska in November or December.
Not with an RV. It doesn't seem like a good idea.
I don't think you're going to Alaska at all.
Randy Asher came in with some funding from his t-shirt sales at NoAgendaStuff.com.
Cool.
$420.
He thinks it's the perfect number.
Of course, $420.
It's $420 somewhere.
Once again, our model's really working, and I have a couple more things to promote in just a moment.
Let me get done with these guys first.
Larry Lee, Granite Shoals, Texas, 33333.
Joshua Brickner, and those are executive producers, and then the associate executive would be Joshua Brickner.
Loveland, Colorado, Adam and John in the morning.
In January, I created the second version of my No Agenda Stream iPhone app.
Promised 50% of the proceeds would go to you guys.
The app is sold almost 400 copies, including both versions.
I think people out there should get this for sure.
At various price points.
And he sent us $271.19.
That's great.
You know, I really...
It just makes me smile when this stuff works.
When you get, like, the t-shirts working, the No Agenda Challenge coins.
And, of course, we have the 10-10-10 coins at NoAgendaFans.com.
And some other...
PR initiatives that are fledgling but can certainly work.
Robin Bonin.
Bonin.
B-O-N-I-N. Robin Bonin.
Hey, John, I just want to let you guys know I purchased the domain NoAgendaGolfBalls.com.
I work for GolfBalls.com.
We recently started a line of golf balls that allow you to select the logo to print on your balls.
I created a No Agenda category allowing anyone to order No Agenda logo golf balls.
They are beautiful.
If you're a golfer, then these golf balls are for you.
Noagendagolfballs.com.
Actually, they also make a good gift to a golfer friend.
They make a great gift, yeah.
And it's beautiful.
It's got our No Agenda in the Morning logo.
You can get these two different logos.
It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful set.
I'm not a golfer, but if I was, I'd be...
And you can hit your own balls in the mouth.
There you go.
That should be their slogan.
Hit your own balls in your mouth.
There's a No Agenda LinkedIn group, which just started.
I was a little confused about this.
I know you saw the email as well.
Is there anything special that has to be done here?
I think you have to join the group when you're on LinkedIn.
I don't know.
I'm not a big joiner.
No, but you're listed, though.
You're listed as manager of the group.
I think.
Oh.
Yeah, hold on.
Oh, you need to manage it.
Yes, there's another one I might find.
I do.
Here's his manager, John C. Dvorak.
You're a manager.
Okay, well, I'm a manager of the group, but the point is that I think you have to get either invited, or I think you can invite yourself into the group, and then the group just needs to approve you.
Maybe it's only for knights and executives.
No, I think it's for anybody.
If you're a LinkedIn and you want to be in the No Agenda LinkedIn group, I think you should just be a member.
It's not a knights club.
Most of the knights, I don't think, are even on LinkedIn.
They're all people that are out of that rat race.
Then we have noagendabadge.com, now the newly restyled, redesigned, including a new slave badge.
Part of the redesign is using the Human Resource Officer badge to raise $5,000 for the show.
So this is the virtual badge, $1 each.
Actually, I got badge 001 crackpot for myself and donated $1.
These badges are nice, and you get an email with your badge.
It's customized, and you can put it on your website.
You can also cut it out and paste it on your t-shirt, perhaps.
But he actually says he has...
This is Justin.
He says he has a manufacturer for the physical producer badges.
Once he finds 25 people willing to purchase the first series, he'll place an order for 27.
So you and I, John, will each get a badge as well.
100% of the profits from the physical badge go to the show, and 75% of the image...
Human Resource Officer badges go to the show.
The other 25% is for my own hookers and blow.
Excellent, Justin.
Then there's...
These are kind of cool.
The No Agenda QR code t-shirts.
Oh, yeah.
I'm surprised we haven't done that earlier.
Somebody hasn't done that.
Yeah, so you can just...
Does it link directly to noagendashow.com?
Yeah, so if someone scans your t-shirt, the QR code, it links to noagendashow.com.
The t-shirt has the QR code, and in the morning...
If I make any money off the meager percentage, I will donate the proceeds to No Agenda.
That's from JB.
And then I had also promised to promote NoAgendaTV.com, who do a great job of pulling out all of the videos in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com and propagating those.
So go out and check that.
And, of course, check out the links, the rock section in the show notes.
That's really where you can find all these great initiatives.
And thank you so much.
And, of course, special thanks to Peter Martine, Fred Lust, Paul Couture, Sir Paul, Sir Randy Asher, and Larry Lee for being our executive producers of this episode, episode 239 of the No Agenda Show.
As you know, you can put that on your resume.
It's a real credit.
Some of you need new business cards, which are longer.
Now you have so many executive producer credits.
And, of course, Joshua Brickner is our associate executive producer.
Again, it's highly appreciated all the work that you guys do in helping us sustain the show.
We'll talk more about that, of course, during our support segment.
And then all the rest of you out there, you need to go out and propagate the formula.
You know what to do.
It's real simple.
Say it loud and proud.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New.
World.
Order.
All right, everybody stay with me now.
Shut up, slave.
It's funny, on the, I think it's the t-shirt site, there's a link that says, shop, you slave.
Or else.
You know, Mickey had a couple people over.
That's where he got sick from.
No, it's possible.
Actually, one guy was an artist, and the other guy was like a hobby gallery holder, a gallery dude.
But what's interesting, he actually has a hedge fund or something, I don't know, a money guy.
And I think not a bullshit money guy.
And usually, particularly in LA, I'm like, what is this douchebag?
Everybody's full of shit.
Everybody's full of shit, right?
And I'm like, so I'm very apprehensive.
And then I start, you know, this guy's starting to sound like he's for real.
I'm listening.
And I was busy doing stuff, and they'd been out for an hour or so.
So I joined them out on the deck.
And, you know, it becomes pretty apparent pretty quickly where I stand on any issue discussed, although I'm really laid back and I'm mellow, right?
And then the guy says, yeah, I'm really interested to know what you think of Blackwater.
And I'm like, you mean KZ? He says, yeah.
I said, well, you know, besides, you know, the 30,000 black ops in Pakistan, drones killing people, the gun smuggling, the drug smuggling, yeah, someone's got to do the job.
The guy says, hey, the drugs weren't true, man.
I'm like, what?
Yeah.
Apparently his fund is 20% invested in Blackwater.
So I get all kinds of inside dirt.
But the funniest thing, though, is the name change.
I'm like, why did they change the name if it wasn't obvious enough?
You know what the answer is?
SEO. Because if you just enter XE, you'll never find it.
Because, you know, it's like the most common.
Oh, they want to minimize SEO. Yes, they want to minimize SEO. So that shows the craziest name that is, you know, that is impossible to search for.
You should just change the name to The.
Yeah.
Well, I don't think The.com is available.
They were able to get Z.com.
And by the way, there's no drugs.
That's not their culture.
So I had a great chat with the guy.
It was pretty funny.
Nice little inside info.
So they were checking on you.
I guess so.
No other reason for that guy to be there.
You don't know who he is.
No, he seems okay.
Yeah, sure.
I'm not too worried.
Well, I wouldn't be.
They already have the Blackhawks over the house.
What do you need?
Really?
Really?
Apaches.
The Apaches are worrisome.
Blackhawks I can deal with, but Apaches, hmm, they look kind of ominous.
So, this is the last of this, by the way.
The last show finally appeared on television.
We're going to do another new season of television clip?
This is it.
And I only have two clips.
So they brought out Law& Order Los Angeles, which is remarkably misnamed.
It should be Law& Order Douchebags.
Really?
Yeah.
Everybody in the thing's a douchebag.
The criminals are douchebags, the cops are douchebags, the DAs, everybody.
It's unbelievable.
And to give you an idea what the show, where the show is heading, what it's going to be about, play the first clip, Law& Order Los Angeles, and you'll get a clue.
Okay.
Colin cheated on Miranda with Chelsea Sennett.
They did E at the club, then some coke back at her place.
My daughter loves her in those two dance school movies.
Those were Disney movies.
She was just a kid.
How old is she now?
Oh, 20.
Exactly.
Is there a point you're making that I'm missing?
Look, 99% of 12-year-old girls were killed to be the illegal, drinking, e-popping, club-crawling Chelsea Senate.
Wait a minute.
They're talking about Lindsay Lohan.
This is about Lindsay Lohan, isn't it?
Yeah.
I love it.
Actually, the story's about Lindsay Lohan and her mom, but they have a twist.
They also have the angle of the burglaries that were going on around your place.
Oh, yeah, the bling ring gang.
The bling raiders.
And the thing is, on this case, Lindsay Lohan, or Chelsea, whatever her name is, mom was the ringleader.
She probably was.
To get a little more flavor, play the second clip, which is one of the girls that's in this little group of, I don't know what to call them, but she is kind of, this sets the bar just a little higher about the level of bull crap that we're going to have to listen to if anybody really wants to watch this show.
Retail, how much is that worth?
$2,000 maybe?
So when exactly were the items stolen?
March 9th.
It was Chelsea's birthday.
We got kicked out of Mondrian.
Then she threw a drink at her ex at Avalon, the ridiculous one with the reality show KK. When I got home, I was packing for London to go visit my parents when I realized the shirt was gone.
Why didn't you report it then?
I was going to London.
You realize there's probably a dozen more Vickys out there.
Don't even know they've been ripped off.
It's almost over.
Burglary's still burglary.
Miranda's not Vicky.
Sorry, this is just...
Okay, wait, wait.
I don't know if you can back it up.
That funny thing is I clipped that part of the end off, but...
When she says, I'm going to London, I want you to listen.
There's about a six...
Yeah, a six-second delay.
Well, it's actually not even that long.
It's about three seconds, which seems like an eternity on television.
But listen to what they're playing.
Okay.
I realized the shirt was gone.
Why didn't you report it then?
I was going to London.
You realize there's probably a...
Okay.
So they're playing this little ditty.
Now, in the original Law& Order series, they would play, you know, dogs barking and sirens going off.
Now it's house music.
Normal background music.
Now it's house music.
Here they're playing some dipshit music.
That's like ding-dong music that is like, what is the message here?
What is the mood they're trying to get the audience into?
I don't know.
I think this show is a complete disaster.
Well, I think that they're right on message, actually, because what you're hearing there in the background is what you hear in the Mondrian Hotel.
It's what you hear at the SLS Hotel, at all these hipster hotels where everybody hangs out in Los Angeles.
This is exactly the music that is played.
I realized the show is gone.
Why didn't you report it then?
I was going to London.
It's called lounge music.
Whatever.
And it's crap.
And I think they're right on message, John.
This is very interesting because this is all about all the little girls have to be like Lilo.
And get your Gitmo jewelry, which we predicted and has now come true.
And not only that, but the best part about Lindsay Lohan is that she was out hawking her pictures to paparazzi agencies.
She was trying to get 10 grand from anybody who would pay for it.
For her to pose with her scram bracelet, this is from a site called Shutter Voice, which I guess is some kind of paparazzi site.
And here they actually say that she was calling up different paparazzi photo distributors.
According to several online magazines, Celebrity was last seen after a post-rehab time period.
She was attempting to sell her scram bracelet by marketing her photograph in which the bracelet is hanging around her neck.
Well, that's not the right place to have it.
No, but that's where it's headed.
That's exactly where it's headed.
That's where it's headed.
Put it on the prediction list.
And I'm just like, wow.
Now it's so obvious she's on the presidential slut squad.
She gets called in to promote the scram bracelet.
And here she gets to make a couple grand on the side by selling the pictures.
If anyone thinks it's not true, how can we predict it continuously?
Well, it's like walking down Broadway.
But around the neck.
Somebody should do noagendapredictions.com and keep track of our predictions because it's unbelievable how good we are.
I think it actually exists, doesn't it?
No agenda predictions.
It probably does.
Two, three versions.
So, anyway, that's my last review.
It does exist.
Noagendapredictions.com and it's a calendar that is completely empty.
Great.
Somebody didn't follow up.
What do you want for nothing?
So, meanwhile, the SVU show, which has actually taken, I think, is now the lead show for propagandizing the public.
More than what we just heard?
Be like Lilo?
Are you kidding me?
I'm talking about spot-on messaging that is going to have an impact immediately, not just to dull the senses of the public.
And so they did this show about some woman who was a serial rapist that they pretty much could do everything they wanted.
I mean, they had all the evidence against the guy except for one thing.
The one girl was going to testify against him.
Apparently, he had been raped by him ten years earlier.
And now that's gone beyond the statute of limitations.
But they could probably...
They sold the rape kit, but nobody did anything with the rape kit.
It just sat there.
For 10 years, and then it became degraded, and they couldn't prove anything, and so this guy almost got off, but then they had a tricky ending, which I thought was lame, because they had this whole story, went 55 minutes of trying to get this guy for rape, and then they got him for some kidnapping charge and some technicality.
So I say, well, it's an interesting story.
Boom.
So I listen to the news.
Play the news after SVU. This is the local newscast.
So this is right after the show.
This is the local newscast.
Well, actually, there was the Law and Order of Los Angeles, then the news.
Okay.
Well, tonight, lawmakers in San Francisco are working on a bill that would require DNA from every rape kit be tested.
That, after revelations that some rape kit samples have been sitting untested for months, even years, in the city's crime lab, leaving victims with little justice.
NBC Bay Area's Vicki Nguyen joins us now with more on this new mandate.
Supervisor Michaela Aliotto-Pierre says the law will be ready for review in two weeks.
She says it would require the timely testing of DNA samples in every rape or sexual assault case.
They have a backlog of 4,000 rape kits.
He says he'll get me the results when he has them.
Untested DNA rape kits, the basis for a Law& Order TV episode.
But the backlog is far from fiction.
Nationwide, some 200,000 rape kits sit unprocessed on crime lab shelves.
In San Francisco, the crime lab is so understaffed, police commissioner Jim Hammer says it's unknown how many kits sit.
So what's the message here?
So here, it's not about the messages.
I'm wondering, here we go.
We have the show that runs that night.
They have a news story the same night with clips from the show.
Of course, it's completely packaged.
Is this like a memo that goes out?
Okay, here's what we want you to cover on tonight's news.
Yeah, that's the news.
Here's the news.
Shut up, slave.
Here's the news.
You will run this as news.
News, news, news.
It's news.
Take it as news.
That's exactly how it works.
I mean, these rape kits weren't, you know, what about last year?
They could have started this program then, but so they have to do the SVU. So it's a double whammy.
You get the SVU with this message.
Oh, terrible.
This woman would have, you know, there's no justice.
And then they have, I mean, it's just, I was flabbergasted.
So there's definitely something going on then with these rape.
There's something about rape in general that is coming to the forefront.
Did you see the winner of the TechCrunch circle jerk?
No, I couldn't take it.
It was some chick who, by the way, in kind of a boyish, crazy way, was kind of sexy.
And she created an iPhone app, or I think she hasn't actually created it.
It's her pitch, which I'm like, that's a good idea.
I should go make that before she even does it.
It's a black box for women.
So it's an iPhone app that runs and it is updating.
It's like have a Gitmo app.
It updates the last 30 minutes of your location.
It's recording sound.
It's a black box.
It's a black box for women.
So in case you show up or don't show up or show up dead, then they have apparently the black box.
They've got the black box and that won.
I'm like, okay.
All right.
So there's something going on with this.
Yeah, we have to start following it or paying more attention to it because there is, I agree, we haven't tuned into it, but seeing this SVU show with this crazy story that then gets pitched as a news item on the same night.
And people don't even think about the fact that that's actually happening, that the entertainment is being promoted with a news story.
That is being packaged, and the affiliates, I guess, are forced to run that.
Well, this is a local story.
I mean, this is a California story, so I assume most of the stations in California ran it, and it was about California in the SVU show.
But I would assume that this kind of thing we're going to start seeing more of, which is entertainment that is actually a message to predispose you to some government action that will take place later.
Right.
And yeah, you get to be disposed, because they dramatize it.
You get to do the dramatic part of why it needs to be done, and then they can tell you the news part, which is supposed to be objective.
So, the new UNODC report is out, John.
And of course you're thinking, what is the UNODC? What is the UNODC? The UNODC is the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime.
Drugs and Crime?
Drugs and Crime.
These are the guys who reported that...
$400 billion was funneled from drug money into Wall Street, which actually saved us from economic peril worldwide.
These are the guys who can tell us, as of today, that opium production in Afghanistan has almost halved in the past year.
They have a full report.
And what we love, John and I, what we really love about the report is the accuracy and the detail of the numbers.
You'd think for something so highly illegal, it would kind of be a guesstimate, but oh no.
They know exactly, down to the megaton.
They know everything.
And I had a look through the report.
Actually, so the highlight is what BBC here says.
The sharp drop is largely due to a plant infection, which has drastically reduced yields, says the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
But it warns that production is unlikely to stay low, with rising prices tempting farmers to cultivate more opium poppies.
And, of course, this is the business that we're in in Afghanistan.
That's what everyone who listens to this show knows.
And it's true, if you look at the fact sheet, Afghanistan Opium Survey, 2009, Net Opium Cultivation, In 2009, it was 123,000 hectares.
How many acres in a hectare?
I used to know that number, but it's something like double or something like that.
Just Google that.
Yeah, I'll Google it up.
Okay, so now the net opium cultivation in 2010...
How much do you think that is?
I mean, you know, considering that we're there, we're burning the poppy fields.
Yeah, it should be zero.
It's 123,000.
No change.
Literally zero percent change.
It has a little column, zero percent change.
Hold on a second.
That makes no sense.
We're burning these fields.
No, we're not.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh no.
Oh no, we are.
I've seen pictures.
And that number of poppy-free provinces in 2009 was 20.
Poppy-free provinces, how many provinces do they have?
Like 2,000 provinces?
I don't know.
So 20 of them in 2009 were poppy-free.
How many were poppy-free in 2010, do you think, John?
Probably the same number.
Yes, 20.
No change.
It actually says no change.
Number of provinces affected by opium cultivation, 14 in 2009, and in 2010, 14.
That's correct.
Now, the eradication So this is the, I think Monsanto is probably in there screwing with everybody because they've got to get some kind of, you know, they've got to propagate their genetically modified poppies.
In 2009, it just says 5,351.
I don't know what that number means, and it was half in 2010.
By the way, a hectare is 2.4 acres, not two.
I was just rounded up the two.
Yeah, good enough.
Number of households involved in opium cultivation in 2009 was 245,200 Afghani households involved in opium cultivation.
2010?
248,700.
I mean, they've counted the door.
They've got a census, I'm telling you.
They've got a census.
Is the man of the house here?
Yes, I'm the man of the house.
Are you involved in any way in opium cultivation?
Yeah, the whole neighborhood is.
Okay, thank you, bye.
Can we chalk you up?
Can we put your number down for a subscription?
Ed McMahon's going to drive by.
Oh no, I'm sorry, he's dead.
Anyway, so then there's a video on the site, and this is the funniest thing.
It's the head of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes, a Russian.
Yeah, the Russian guy is mint.
And so this is how boneheaded these people are.
Listen to what happens after 30 seconds.
So he's going to do a speech where he's introducing this report, which of course is yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, security, terrorism, yada, yada, yada, right?
But listen to what happens after 30 seconds.
The summary report of 2010 Afghanistan Opium Survey underscores the linkage between opium public cultivation and insecurity.
Most of Afghanistan's opium cultivation occurs in the thousand and western regions which are dominated.
Now, he's starting to falter already.
You can hear him because the guy's Russian.
He's just reading off a teleprompter.
...by insurgency and organized criminal networks.
The lack of security in these regions compromises the rule of law and limits counter-narcotic efforts.
As a result, these regions consistently show very little opium cultivation.
Let's start it from there.
From the second paragraph.
So they've uploaded the video with the blooper opening.
It's still intact.
And so the guy's like, oh, let's start it from the second paragraph.
Roll the prompter back.
I messed that one up.
And then this chick, who's an American, by the way, in the background, you can hear her saying, could you just do the whole thing over again?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's no problem.
Okay.
And then listen to how he starts off.
So he just started off with a regular, no in the morning, no nothing.
He just started off.
And now listen to what happens as he starts it off the second time.
Regions consistently show very little opium cultivation.
Let's start it from there.
From the second paragraph.
Most of Afghanistan?
Most of Afghanistan.
Would you mind to do it all again?
Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, okay, yes.
Just leave it.
It'll take a bit of time for the text to come up.
They have this online?
Yeah, they left this online.
They left the video unedited.
Nobody bothered to edit it at all.
No, no, the guy is just reading prompter.
But listen how he starts off now.
This is the funniest.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Salaam Alaikum.
What is that all about?
Now all of a sudden it's Salaam Alaikum?
Huh?
Huh?
I don't know.
It's unbelievable.
So they left this entire first minute and ten seconds, which should have been cut off, they just left it on there.
Yeah, and you're the only guy who probably ever watched it.
Of course.
That's what we do, so you don't have to.
You should really look at this.
UNODC.org.
It's funny.
It's really funny.
And this Russian guy.
What happened to people who were in places of power and representation just going on and saying, hey, this is messed up.
Here's what we've got to do.
No, the guy's got a freaking script.
He can't even read it.
He doesn't even speak English.
It's just teleprompter.
These are puppets, all of them.
If it ever showed how puppetized politics is, and the United Nations in particular, this is it.
Yeah, just shut up and read, stupid Russian slave.
Throw out an assalamualaikum, will ya, everybody?
In the morning to you.
Assalamualaikum.
Yee-haw!
Wow.
Yeah.
Anyway, you can find that in the show notes.
I'll bet you that it stays up there forever.
They're not even going to take it down.
I'm sure nobody in the UNODC listens to this show.
They won't even take it down.
Ever.
Ever.
They're stoned as we speak.
Anyway, Poppy Production is down because of this horrible...
Reduced yields due to a plant infection.
Yeah, I was reading about this plant infection.
I can't remember what it was.
It was in one magazine or another.
And yeah, it's some sort of a plant virus or some bug or something.
I can't remember.
Yeah, well, it's something I'm sure Monsanto will know how to take care of.
Oh, yeah.
They're going to come on in.
So, well, let's see what I can give you.
I got one for you.
We're talking about security.
So supposedly there was some horrible plot.
Of course, nobody's going to tell us any details.
And of course, we have to assume that...
And I believe they're insincere.
I almost get the feeling that there's an argument at the White House going on like, well, you know, Bush used to pull this crap all the time in midterm elections.
You know, scare the public and make them think that, you know, if they get rid of us, the terrorists will come in.
But then the counter-argument is, well, I don't know about that because nobody thinks that we're doing a very good job on this.
Maybe it's just pointing it out.
I mean, you just see the debate going on.
So Hillary came out with a statement that is the wimpiest...
She sounds more like John Kerry than anything.
And she hems in a hall.
She won't say anything.
And this is the official statement on this supposed terrorist thing that some terrorist thing took place.
Actually, if you want to play the background to this, which is the pre-Hillary Anderson Cooper take on terrorism, which is what news that was great.
We've got new rumblings of terror threats, a lot like the bloodbath that played out in Mumbai.
Gunmen hitting soft targets like hotels and other tourist spots, possibly banks and economic...
This is the thing about all throughout Europe that they've averted all these horrible terror plots from Al-Qaeda.
Is that what this is about?
Yeah, and they can't tell us anything because it would...
I don't know what it would do.
What would it do to tell us that this guy or that guy or somebody else was involved in something?
I mean, is there...
I mean, what...
I don't get it.
It's like Britain, France, Germany, like the Eiffel Tower was evacuated.
Right, they talk about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, good.
Assets.
It could explain why Paris officials have evacuated the Eiffel Tower twice in the past couple of days.
A federal law enforcement official telling us, quote, the volume seems to be turned up on threat information out of Europe.
Some of it apparently coming from at least one German in custody.
The intelligence pointing to using people with Western passports in an attack.
Let's talk about it now with former White House Homeland Security Advisor.
Okay, so this is about, there's a couple things going on here.
And all of those kind of play together.
And you're right, it is about scaring the people, the slaves.
Notice they have passports.
This is a big thing now.
Yeah, that's the meme.
Yeah, the meme is...
And that meme came out of Dubai.
That Dubai murder of the...
I forgot who it was, but the Israelis used the Western passports.
Right, right, right.
And that became the meme, and now all of a sudden, oh, Western passports, Western passports.
Oh, yeah.
Which, of course, gives you, you better get an RFID passport.
You better do this, you better do that.
I mean, this again is, and by the way, the new passport with the RFID in it, which is one I have.
Yeah, I got that one.
I thought was what, the most interesting thing I thought about that passport wasn't the RFID, but it's your photo.
In every passport I've ever owned, there's a photo of me in the passport that is a photo that was submitted.
This photo is printed into the passport.
It's printed right into the paper.
It's a very stiff page, even.
It's a, the whole page is printed, in other words, that page is printed with your picture embedded in the print job.
Yeah.
So I thought that was unique.
Alright, let's continue with Anderson Vanderbilt.
Fran Townsend and CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen.
Fran, there are, I'm sure, hundreds of threats being monitored around the world every single day.
Why this?
Why now?
Well, interesting, Anderson.
We see from reports now, and talking to intelligence and law enforcement officials, they have an individual in custody, we think, in Afghanistan, who we are told is providing really important information.
They take that information, they share it with their Western European allies, like Germany, like France.
And I was told by one senior official that they've gotten very good cooperation.
But the pieces begin to fit, and that's what makes this different.
That's why you see the French reacting and closing or evacuating the Eiffel Tower.
They're looking now for keys, and they're particularly focused on these soft targets, Anderson.
One person said to me, you know what, we've had a lot of success across two administrations of hardening the sort of government targets and the big ones.
And so now it really points to the vulnerability of soft targets, resorts, banks, museums, places where large groups of people will congregate.
And you can have mass casualties and real chaos by one individual.
You don't need a whole team anymore.
You know what's interesting, John?
I had this very conversation.
The motion picture industry and the dramatic television industry in Hollywood is very, very, very worried.
What would happen to the business And I'll give you my answer in a moment.
If a terrorist decides to blow up a movie theater, and when I heard this, I said, don't make me laugh.
It'll never happen.
They'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever blow up their main means of communicating with the slaves.
They're never going to do that.
There never will be a movie theater blown to bits with people in it.
Ever.
However, we'll probably go through naked body scanners, just to make sure.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
That's a good prediction.
Yeah, just wait.
I mean, you can wait for it not to happen.
It will never take place.
Ever.
It's just not going to happen.
Well, I mean, this whole thing, if you listen to her talking, this national security expert, she's not saying jack.
It's all supposition and bull crap.
I mean, if somebody's been fed, Hillary has a harder time doing it.
Although she does her job, and she does it as well as she can, but she's worse.
Listen to the Hillary commentary on what happened, on the kind of thing that's going through her office.
With regard to the intelligence reports of threats.
Uh, uh, uh.
You're going to get a lot of uhs.
Because, well, I have to hand it to her.
She does this all without a teleprompter.
She's good.
That's why she'll be the next president of the United States.
We are not going to comment on specific intelligence.
No.
Why not?
Shut up, slave!
It's none of your business, slave!
Slave, shut up, slave!
As doing so threatens to undermine intelligence operations that are critical in protecting the United States and our allies, as we have repeatedly said, we know that al-Qaeda and its network of terrorists, Wishes to attack both European and U.S. targets.
I get so tired of this.
I get so tired of this network, link to, affiliated.
Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda.
Please.
You know, Hillary, when she speaks, she sounds like she's talking to a two-year-old.
She says every word distinctly.
Yes, because she knows that most people are severely undereducated and only understand words like terror, Al-Qaeda, link to, terrorism network.
Because otherwise they don't understand it.
Idiots.
...targets.
We continue to work very closely with our European allies on the threat from international terrorism, including the role that al-Qaeda continues to play.
And information is routinely shared between the US and our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, strengthen our defenses against potential threats.
This is, as you might very well conclude, one of the principal objectives and certainly one of the most time-consuming efforts that any of us in this administration are engaged in.
Oh, it's so time-consuming protecting you.
Shut up and leave me alone.
I'm protecting you.
I'm so tired of protecting you.
On an hourly basis.
Really?
I want Americans to know how focused we all are in the government and how committed we are not only in protecting our own country but in protecting our friends and allies.
Yes, we're protecting you.
That's all for your own protection.
Well, a couple things I'd like to say regarding that, John.
I've got to do my Hillary Clinton.
So, now the Obama administration is calling for more power over the interwebs.
Oh, yeah.
As reported by the New York Times, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications, including encrypted email transmitters.
Yeah.
Like Blackberry, social networking websites like Facebook and software that allows direct peer-to-peer messaging like Skype to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order.
The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.
Oh, but it gets much better as we now have the block Nazis here in America.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, please go to nsi.ncirc.gov, the National SAR Initiative.
Have you heard of this initiative, John?
You know, I think not.
The Nationwide SAR Initiative.
SAR stands for Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative.
You know, before you go on with this, I want to remind people of people my age in particular raised around the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And we were, you know, largely, it was hammered into us, basically, that the Cubans were terrible, terrible, terrible.
There were actually two things I remember from the fifth grade, two messages.
The Cubans were terrible, terrible, terrible people because they would have people turn each other in.
To the apparatchiks in the Communist Party.
They would turn each other in.
They were encouraged.
Oh my God, I can't believe they would do that.
They were encouraged to turn each other in.
And then, by the way, we also got a lecture, another standard stock lecture that was given to all us kids, is that Africa, many of the countries in Africa are terrible, terrible, terrible places, and especially South Africa.
That's the worst place in the world, because they required their citizens to carry ideal...
No!
Oh no!
Oh no!
They had to carry ID in their own country.
What an outrage.
Can you imagine?
It's an outrage.
That would never happen here.
Just to remind people out there what our old ethos used to be, which is it's not cool to turn in your friends because you're suspicious or you just want to get them.
And we also know that most of the time when this kind of thing happens is just that you have a grudge against your neighbor, so you trump up something, and then you get him in trouble.
Ha!
What a gag.
What a great gag.
I got him.
Ha!
So, on the homepage of this fantastic site, whether a plan for a terrorist attack is homegrown or originates overseas, important knowledge that may forewarn of a future attack may be derived from information gathered by state, local, and tribal government personnel in the course of routine law enforcement and other activities.
That's right.
That's right.
We want to share the information, and we want to report suspicious activity.
You're suspicious.
This is a great site.
Okay, what's the web address again?
It's nsi.ncirc.gov.
See, every time we do this show, it's like depressing.
Yeah, New York Times had an interesting...
Nationwide SAR initiative.
This site, another $8 million site.
Oh yeah, for sure.
And we didn't build it.
Meanwhile, the New York Times wrote and ran an op-ed, How to spot a terrorist?
He drives a Saab convertible.
Is that right?
He carries around an iPhone app with the Constitution on it.
He does not have a California state driver's license, nor does he carry any other form of ID. How to spot a terrorist?
Where are you getting this?
This is the New York Times, written by John Farmer Jr., who I have no idea who that is, but it's an op-ed.
Newark, New Jersey, to Dateline.
A young man walks into a Home Depot and buys a large quantity of acetone.
Later, a young man walks into a beauty supply store and buys hydrogen peroxide.
Still later, a young man is observed parked outside a nondescript federal building in a rented van taking photographs.
no crime has been committed but should any of these activities be reported to and evaluated by law enforcement officials well if they're reported the government may infringe on privacy and civil liberties if they are not we might not know until it's too late we might miss the next timothy mcveigh It's unbelievable!
By the way, I have lots of Documentation on the Oklahoma City bombing, which leads me to believe that may have been also a false flag attack.
There's a lot of weird stuff with that, but it's so old, no one gives a crap.
Yeah, it's so old, nobody cares.
So we have to look for new stuff.
Yeah, no one cares.
And that's getting crazy, that stuff.
But since you brought this up, where is this all leading?
I think I may have a clip here that kind of gives it away.
There is a...
There was a bunch...
I hope I have it.
Let's see.
There is a Michigan...
Uh, shit.
Oh, there it is.
Okay.
Woodward, our CIA guy, was on the Larry King show.
I saw this, and should I tell you something?
I've already read the first 200 pages of the book.
Okay.
So the book is called Obama's Wars.
It's a new book that somebody wrote.
Can I just say something before you...
This is a setup to this because I just want you to...
So I bought this as an iBook, right?
Because it's not even in stores.
I think it comes out today in bookstores.
And if you look at this, he had access...
I'm just going back to the beginning of the book here.
The people that he interviewed for this book, now you tell me that this guy isn't a spook.
So it's like 15 pages, but the cast of characters, the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs, from the National Security Council, James L. Jones,
the Deputy National Security Advisor, Donilon, Senior Advisor and Coordinator for Afghanistan, that would be Lute, National Security Council Chief of Staff, Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security, National Security Advice to the Vice President, then Department of State.
He spoke with Hillary Clinton, Special Representative Holbrook.
I mean, he spoke to everybody.
And then even in his intro in the book, he's saying, well, you know, I basically, I even interviewed some people as soon as two hours after something went down.
This guy's a reporter.
What kind of access does he have?
How do you get that access?
This is the Ministry of Truth on my iPhone for $17.
And the other thing is that not only does he have the access, but he gets these books out in a time frame which nobody in the publishing industry does.
His interview with Barack Obama was done in July of this year.
It is now September.
It's almost October.
The book is out!
The books usually take a nine-month process to get a book done, and then to get it shipped.
So he's somehow on a 60-day leash.
I don't know.
It's ridiculous.
Yeah, and it's a beautiful book, hardcover.
It's like, yeah, that's real easy.
Right, and he cranks these books out like there's no tomorrow, which makes you wonder, you know, is all he's doing is writing books, and he seems dim-witted.
Yeah, right.
He's slow talking and, you know, I can't imagine.
But anyway, we don't care.
The guy is obviously, when he speaks, you have to listen because somebody is giving him a message to tell us.
Well, it's the two people who wrote the book with him.
It's this 25-year-old chick.
And this other guy, I started to look him up.
Hold on, let me just give you the name.
Because he starts right off with a note from the author.
And, hold on, I'm sorry.
A note to readers.
The core of this book comes from the written record, National Security Council meeting notes, personal notes, memos, chronologies, letters, PowerPoint slides, emails, reports, government cables, calendars, transcripts, diaries, and maps.
It doesn't even say emails.
Information in the book was supplied by more than 100 people involved in the Afghanistan war and national security during the first 18 months of President Barack Obama's administration.
Interviews were conducted on background, meaning the information could be used, but the sources would not be identified by name.
Most allowed me to record the interviews for which they were transcribed.
For several sources, the combined interview transcripts run more than 300 pages.
Blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah.
Blah-de-blah-de-blah.
It's a rationale for whatever.
Yeah, but you've got to look this guy up who...
So let's play some of these clips so we can get a couple of our messages, the ones that we're supposed to be hearing.
So you know what's going to happen.
Right.
So we know what's going to happen because this is coming right from that horse's mouth, as it were.
So who's going to be the next Secretary of Defense?
Well, you saw the show, but I don't think a lot of people realize who's going to be.
This is a little different than our theory, because our theory is Hillary Clinton will run, Barack Obama is going to say, I want to be with the kids, I'm tired, I'm getting out, and Hillary will run and win, and he had a little different theory, although not far from it.
Not far-fetched, but there's one, by the way, I don't know why this is, but the right-wingers and some of the left-wing talkers have got a third theory, which is completely nuts, but it's getting some traction.
Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber is going to be Secretary of State.
The traction, and it goes like this.
To keep anybody from possibly beating Obama, they're going to swap Hillary, let her be the Vice President, and Biden...
And Biden would be Secretary of State, which I don't believe.
Secretary of Defense, I think.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, Secretary of State, right, I'm sorry.
No, Defense was the big...
His defense is different.
Yeah.
Right.
Biden would be Secretary of State, which, by the way, Biden is such a screw-up.
He's such a douchebag.
He'll screw it.
He's a doofus.
Everyone will hate us more than we already do.
That model's bullcrap.
That's total bullcrap.
And, by the way, Hillary will never be second fiddle to Barack.
No way.
She's running all the way.
But the Secretary of Defense, I think this is a big message.
The guy's been on all the talk shows.
Makes a lot of sense.
I think this is absolutely going to happen.
We ready?
Hit it.
We have an excerpt from his own book we were discussing during the break, and I'll have him tell me who, if you were the president, who would you ask to be the next Secretary of Defense?
I mean, what's interesting, I think Obama needs good news.
And as he's learned, he's not commander-in-chief of the economy, but he is commander-in-chief of the war in Afghanistan.
Gates is leaving.
Who would you call in?
By the way, when did Gates announce he's leaving and what is he going to do?
I don't know when the announcement was made, but all week, everybody's talked about it as a done deal.
Because we know Rahm Emanuel's leaving.
We know David Axelrod's leaving.
We know all these people are failing.
Gates leaving.
Well, I'm going to play the rest of this.
I'm going to Google this in the meantime.
To take Gates' place.
This is the key player.
Colin Powell.
And if you think about it, Powell served in Vietnam as a second lieutenant.
Yes.
Seen bad wars, was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs during the first Gulf War, saw Iraq.
WMD screw up and how intelligence can mislead you and so forth.
He's in his early 70s, but there is the person who could come in and say, this is how we're going to do it.
This is the strategy.
When Powell speaks, there's no kind of wobble.
There is, during the first Gulf War, he got up there and gave He got up there and he lied about weapons of mass destruction.
He held up the yellow cake.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, liar, liar.
Liar is what he is.
He had a briefing and said, this is Saddam Hussein's army.
What we're going to do, we're going to kill it.
And, of course, they killed a lot of it, and we got out of that war very quickly.
As a loyal soldier, do you think he'd be inclined to take it?
I think he would hate it in the idea that anyone is on national television suggesting that I'll get a call tomorrow, say, you know, he loves his life, but Commander-in-Chief...
Wait a minute, hold on a second.
Stop.
He's going to get a call tomorrow?
Yeah, tomorrow.
Didn't you know...
What, Powell got him on the speed dial?
Of course.
Hey, Woodward!
Yeah.
Hey, man.
Thanks for busting me.
I was negotiating here.
I'm getting my package together.
What are you talking about?
So these guys are like...
I mean, so Woodward is so connected.
Yeah, he knows everything.
He knows everything.
He has everybody on the phone.
You can call him up directly.
So take this...
So hold on a second.
Knowing that the CIA hates Obama, is it possible that this was a spoiler meant to disrupt that plan?
I don't think it would work, though.
That wouldn't spoil anything.
I mean, unless it was something they were working on and maybe Powell would be upset and wouldn't do it because of being outed.
I don't know.
It's possible.
They're going to have to find somebody to put in that job.
If they want a CIA guy in there, Powell would be ideal.
Maybe this wasn't a spoiler, but the idea was to put this into the public's consciousness so people start promoting it and forcing Obama to take another CIA-related guy, which was Gates, was the director of the CIA for a while.
Yeah, and he was the Secretary of Defense during the Bush administration.
Yeah, and Powell's a Bush guy, and so there's a CIA connection, and just push him in, and this was a salvo to put this in the public consciousness, so Obama would have to pay attention to it, because maybe he's trying to pick some professor or something to do the job.
Who knows?
This is a man...
Powell, who served 35 years in the military and saluted presidents or superior officers down the line.
Obama calls him in and said, I need you.
You're the one to do this.
And, you know, maybe Powell could figure out a way and there would be some good news where we kill...
The people who need to be killed, and we also shorten the war.
This is so unbelievable.
In Gitmo Nation, we are such short-term memory dickhead slaves that we cannot connect Colin Powell to the guy who got us into Iraq under false pretenses of weapons of mass destruction, testifying and lying before Congress.
And the United Nations.
The United Nations.
Yeah.
And we can't connect that.
And Larry King.
Larry King is like a ridiculous Democrat.
So play the Woodward on Larry King clip and see if this is the one I'm looking for.
This can come out okay.
Okay, here it is.
Stop, stop.
Stop.
I want to set this one up.
I've got three clips.
There's one which is the long, boring Biden bullshit story, which is completely, I believe, fabricated.
But this is the one where, this is another meme, another bomb.
This is as good as the Colin Powell bomb.
First, there's the setup.
They started from scratch.
Larry asked him, what about this Afghanistan thing?
How are we going to get it?
What's going to happen?
And Woodward tells us this very inside story.
He uses a couple of jargon terms.
He uses an intelligence agency term, and then he uses some other meme that when you hear it, you'll go, oh, that.
Is this about what Biden said to the president?
No, no, that's the other clip.
This is the one I think is more interesting.
If this can come out okay, Afghanistan, Pakistan...
Yeah, man, don't worry.
We're just going to kill everybody.
You know, it's the hardest case.
And there is...
A time last spring where Obama sends General Jones, his national security advisor, and the CIA director, Leon Panetta, to Pakistan.
This is after the Times Square bomber.
It almost went off, could have killed hundreds, thousands of people.
And they read the riot act to the Pakistani leadership, including the president, Saadari, and say, look, this...
Look!
Look!
In our opinion, it was a successful attack because Pakistani intelligence, U.S. intelligence, didn't figure out that it was going to happen.
And then they read what is called, this is fascinating, CIA tradecraft, what's called the link chart.
Two that are connecting...
The bomber, two people in Pakistan, these phone calls, these relationships, this money transfer, and so forth.
And they tell Zardari, if there's an attack in the United States, postmark Pakistan, and there are all these groups that are planning attacks, if that happens, all bets are off.
And things will happen.
The president will have to do things that you're not going to like.
And they have a secret plan to a retribution plan.
So the stakes and the uncertainty here couldn't be higher.
So we're going to fuck you up, boy.
That's basically what that is.
So, okay, so we can expect another terror attack, and this is going to be from Pakistan, because clearly that's the country we really need.
It's the most important geographically located between China and the rest.
And we got the nukes.
We got to get those nukes.
We got to get the nukes, yeah.
And the Times Square bomber, successful.
Totally.
By the way, the guy had shit that wouldn't even burn.
But successful.
Successful mission.
Yeah, mission accomplished.
He did it.
Successful.
Because we, oh, we couldn't figure it out.
But meanwhile, we had a link chart.
You had a link chart.
CIA tradecraft.
That's right.
We've got that shit, man.
We've got PowerPoints.
We've got mind maps.
We've got all kinds of high tech stuff.
So the bonehead in Times Square, he's a fall guy or a stooge or a set-up man or who knows what.
And we don't know what happened to him, of course.
No, of course we don't.
We don't even know what happened to the underwear bomber.
We don't know anything.
No, whatever happened to the Ford Hood guy.
Yeah, how come no one's following up on that?
Huh?
Sorry, it's done.
Forget about it.
That job is over.
Forget about it.
And so now we're going to...
This is just the beginning.
We're going to start to hear more and more negative things about Pakistan and how they're behind it all.
It's always been Pakistan.
That's why we have 30,000 black ops in there.
Yeah, that's the joke of it.
It's always been Pakistan.
But now we have to shift the public consciousness a little bit.
Yeah, we have to start.
Pakistan is bad.
Hey, you know what?
Let's round up some Pakistanis.
Let's round them up and throw them in an internment camp.
What do you think?
I think that's possible.
It could happen any minute.
And the Pakistanis, by the way, are the big troublemakers in England.
I think you're going to see a two or three step process here.
One, something bad is going to happen in England.
Because we focused on all this terrorism that's going to happen in Europe.
So there's going to be some Pakistani action in Europe first.
And the Brits are already so...
What's the word?
Racist.
They always talk about pockies.
Pockies.
Pockies.
Pocky this, pocky that.
They hate them.
They hate them.
The British guy, the regular guy on the street, hates the pockies.
And so you're right.
I think you're right.
Total setup.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this is happening.
How do we stop it, John?
Well, our show helps, I think.
Maybe a little bit.
As long as it's supported.
I can see Hillary Clinton going, you know, they have a point.
I should...
Luckily, the show is nutty enough that she won't listen to it.
But we like to give some donors some call-outs here because this is the time of the show.
We want to thank people for donating to the show, noagendashow.com.
Click on the donation button.
This is a 100% user-supported show, by the way.
We don't have any other income...
to keep the show going except what you give us and we appreciate it and we appreciate the five dollar subscriptions and the thirty three dollar subscriptions and everything in between the small donations ten twenty thirty dollars whatever you can afford and we do have a few uh one-time donations that came in this week and let's start by crediting them island seven in branson missouri uh which is sounds like a nightclub somebody will know what that is a hundred $130.
Ed Chavez in New York City, 6610.
He's about a third of the way to a knighthood.
He thinks it's a great show.
He translated a book called Toyota Legends, which you should try to check out.
It forecasts the troubles they had late last year.
That's interesting.
Yeah, and this guy, I corresponded with him.
He is a Japanese-to-English translator, which could come in very handy.
I told him to keep an eye out in the Japanese press.
Yeah, please do.
Please do.
Our northernmost listeners, Snorstein.
It's either Schnor or Snore or Snora.
It's Norway.
I would say Snora.
I would say Snorastein.
Snorastein.
Longaberin.
I'll never get that.
Your northernmost listener, Adder 1972 and Svalbard, I guess that's, I don't know what that means, Longitude and Latitude.
Thank you for posting the picture from the Barrio base in April, whatever that means.
He speaks in riddles.
Yes.
It's okay.
We appreciate the support.
But we love the Norwegians.
They got all the money.
Yeah, and they're not in the EU. They're so smart.
Yeah, and they're going to try to screw them.
We predicted that they're going to try to screw the Norwegians for not joining.
Michael Schultz, Palm Beach, Florida.
55 double nickels on the dime.
In the morning to you, it's Michael from Palm Beach donated karma about a job.
They just told me they'll be outsourcing the entire division I was going to lead.
Either way, there's one cent more.
This is 5511.
Sorry, maybe I need a dedouching.
Can you give him one?
Yeah, I have two things for him, actually.
First, a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
And now, by special request, I have a little extra karma for him.
You've got karma.
So let us know how that works out, Michael.
That should do it.
That should do the trick.
It's just the sounds in the air can create positive vibes, man.
Stuart Finlayson.
He also says, oh, enjoy the hookers and blow.
Thanks to Adam about the Coronado Hotel Review.
It saved my friends thousands of lost dollars as they were going to revisit it from years past and learn the service and surrounding area.
Not what it used to be.
See?
There you go.
We saved someone thousands of dollars from going to that hotel.
Right.
5511.
Stuart Finlayson in the UK. Hi, Adam and John.
I'd like this donation to be my wife's name.
Well, there you go.
His birthday's Thursday, the 30th.
Yeah, we got it lined up.
We have her listed.
Okay, hopefully you'll get a chance to read this on Thursday's show, but if not, please read it soon.
We'll get a regular list of five hours.
She'll get a kick out of it.
Her name is Sharon.
Tell her that our two boys and I love her very much.
Hope she has a great day because after it's over, she'll have to start performing her Minute Woman duties.
Minute Woman duties.
That's right.
You know what it is.
You know what those duties are when you're a Minute Babe.
Yep.
Dorothy, so she'll get a birthday call in a minute.
Dorothy Doering, double nickels on the dime in St.
Paul, Minnesota.
She gives us money every so often.
And Matthew Scheuer in Winthrop, Minnesota.
$55.
He's got an email.
I should go find it and read it.
I'll do that in a second.
Good job.
Then we've got our regular DUI-help.com, Barry Wilson.
And finally, Terrence J. Randall, a new donor from Garden City, New York.
$50.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It's your birthday.
Birthday.
I know what you're doing.
All right.
Stuart Finlayson congratulates his wife.
It is her birthday today, and of course she now becomes a No Agenda Minute woman.
So enjoy your birthday, because after today, it's all service, baby!
It's your birthday, yeah!
Something like that.
Something like that.
Um, okay.
We have two knighthoods.
Unless you have something else, I'd like to...
Well, I was just trying to find the Shoyer's email.
I can't seem to get it.
Let me do this.
Ah, we would like Peter Martine to step forward, please.
And John, if you don't mind, if you could just...
There you go.
Yeah, there you go.
Let me just grab mine for a second.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Peter Martine, wow, you really came through for the show.
We highly appreciate it.
Of course, $1,000 earns you the title of Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
So, kneel before me, slave!
Peter Martine, we hereby pronounce thee Sir Peter Martine, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please, come on over.
Enjoy your hookers and blow.
Very, very nice.
And...
We'd like Fred Lust to step forward.
By the way, these knighthoods do come with an official Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable ring.
And they are in the works, John.
Have we transferred the money?
No, because I didn't hear back from Paul.
But I will, I'm sure, shortly.
I think they're going to be...
You know, Paul's been doing these coins.
I think he's been chewing up his time.
Yeah, but I've seen them.
I know what they look like.
They look great.
They look fantastic.
Okay, let's just grab our swords here.
Fred Lust!
We hereby pronounce these, Sir!
Fred Lust!
Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable!
Oops, sorry.
Hit him three times.
Ooh, that doesn't happen often.
He's a special knight now.
Enjoy our Chardonnay and Rent boys.
Depending on your orientation, we have hookers and blow.
So two new knights, and how many knights do we have now, John?
We must have 30 knights?
We have about a hundred.
What?
A hundred nights?
I'm glad we saved the money for those rings.
Yeah, that account has not been touched.
Good.
See, we've done good.
We've done very good.
A quick note to Sir Randy Asher.
It says, please let the producers know, I apologize for the delay in the boarding passes.
This is the special boarding pass for the mothership, $33.33 subscription.
They will be done by the 10-10-10 show.
242 seems the most logical deadline, especially since the mothership is coming on October 13th.
And the good karma continues with every donation.
I want to remind people we have a couple of sites for art because we source our art from the good artists that listen to the show.
And we have some artists that are, I mean good in terms of their character, in terms of their art.
Many of them are fantastic.
But we've had a fall off.
People seem to have lost interest because a lot of people have done art and we never picked up on their particular piece.
Not ever, but if you get three submissions, we choose the best one.
But unfortunately, then people lose interest and we've had no art coming in for the past three shows.
Yeah, so noagendaartgenerator.info is where you can do it if you don't want to actually design anything completely.
And then noagendaart.com, if you want to do a piece from scratch, you can put that over there.
There are generators, like you take a funny picture, you put it in there, you run the generator, and it kind of puts it together for you.
But the genuine from scratch art is...
We kind of give it a few extra points if you're going to do it that way.
Either way.
And I just want to say that the model that we have chosen for this program is very, very exciting because we are completely open source.
You probably heard at the top of the show, people make golf balls, t-shirts, dice.
By the way, the No Agenda Dice, I think, are almost all sold out.
Noagendadice.com.
The coins.
I mean, it's great because we actually keep other people employed.
We receive a portion of the money.
And the donations themselves is just a pure value-for-value system, and it really works.
And, you know, case in point, you know what happened to me, John, with the big app show?
With my iPhone app?
What?
Google kicked me out of AdSense.
I might point out two days before the end of the month.
You know, I had like $1,300.
And they say, oh, suspicious activity, this can't be right.
Because people are tapping on the ads, looking at the freaking ads.
And they kick me out.
They say, I can't make money with ads.
Big internet, screw them, bastards.
What?
Yeah, oh yeah.
And then you have to fill out a form.
Slave, shut up slave.
But they take your money.
It's like, for a month.
A month's worth of ads.
Well, we're going to give that back to the advertisers, so they say.
And they just disable the account.
Really?
Yeah.
And then you have to fill out a form, and of course you hear nothing back.
Oh, no.
They don't have anybody working there.
No, of course.
It's just a money machine.
And they have some profile.
You don't match it, so you're kicked off.
Yeah, but...
So I don't know what to do now.
Anyway, so I'm considering...
Just bitch and moan.
That's the best thing to do.
Just complain bitterly.
I'm considering...
Send an email to Surgi.
Fuck him.
I'm considering...
So to help us out...
Yes.
Since Adam now apparently has lost an income stream, give us some attention at NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA. Take it right to the donation page.
There should be something new on there every once in a while.
And then also ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. And we appreciate it and want to thank everybody who's helped us out so far.
So...
Yes, and I also want to do a special thank you to producer Chris Galenda, who single-handedly, within about two weeks, created an Android version of the Big App Show, which I'll be launching tomorrow.
Obviously a talented person.
And no charge.
He's like, no, no, no, this is value for value, man.
You guys do a great show.
I just want to help you out.
It's easy for me.
But yeah, but cash, of course, is king.
It's what we use to pay bills, and that's pretty much all we do.
John, I mean, you still write some columns, right?
But that's about it.
Yeah, no, we're dying on the vine here.
Yeah, kind of.
Anyway, so what I found rather interesting, and I even heard you on your Tech 5 show saying, oh, brother, we're going to have to be talking about this on No Agenda.
Nice way to plug the show, actually.
Well, I gave the URL, but maybe people that heard that report, I'm surprised you listened to the show.
I listened to all your shows.
But since you did, you caught me off guard because I was going to play dumb.
Because I know what you're going to bring up.
I knew we were going to have to talk about it, which is apparently...
I don't even know what the point of this story was.
Okay, so let me break it down for you.
You tell it.
So first of all, this is the guy who has written a book.
Oh, that explains it.
Yeah, this is a book promotion.
But what interests me is, I get, this must be new listeners slash producers, because they held a press conference for the book and they had all these retired Air Force personnel primarily, and all these guys were in charge of the missile silos.
In various periods throughout their career.
And I guess there were six or seven of them.
And they say, well, yeah, you know, what happened is the UFOs came down.
They'd activate.
Our actual launch codes would get activated.
And then they'd be deactivated.
And the UFOs have disabled all of our nukes.
And that was the press conference.
And I'm going like, hello, I did this story two years ago.
I said that this had happened.
Yeah, but you left the book part out.
Well, I didn't write the book.
How stupid am I? That's what I'm saying.
You didn't write the book.
You should have wrote a book.
So let's just listen to a little bit from this press conference because you only had the CNET story, which is like, please.
It's interesting to listen to what these guys have to say.
Actually, the guy who wrote the book, let him do a little preamble.
Declassified U.S. government documents and witness testimony.
So he does have the real documents, and this is what I had two years ago.
I said, this happened, and I can explain why.
I won't play too much of this.
I won't bore you.
I mean, God, we can always listen to more SUV special victims unit crap if you want.
Play some Hawaii Five-0.
from former or retired U.S. military personnel confirm beyond any doubt the reality of ongoing UFO incursions at nuclear weapons sites.
When I say UFO, the witnesses have described these craft as disc-shaped or cylindrical shape or spherical.
These objects are capable of both hovering and high-velocity flight, usually completely silently.
Yay!
Silent but deadly.
Over the past 37 years, I have personally located and interviewed more than 120 of these former or retired military personnel, all of whom report UFO incidents at one or more of the following locations.
Now, John, why are you so, oh brother, skeptical about this when you have actual retired personnel who are willing to stake their reputation on saying these things?
And there's government documents to back this up.
Why are you skeptical about this?
I don't know these people.
Okay.
Nuclear missile sites.
Yeah, you drink a lot of tea with Hillary.
Nuclear weapons storage areas and nuclear weapons test sites.
Let me just shuttle ahead to listen to one of these guys.
Can you just play the clip?
I believe, these gentlemen believe, that this planet is being visited by beings from another world.
Thank you.
Regarding the missile shutdown incidents, my opinion, their opinion, is that whoever are aboard these craft are sending a signal to both Washington and Moscow, among others, that we are playing with fire.
That the possession and threatened use of nuclear weapons potentially threatens the human race and the integrity of the planetary environment.
Okay, so let me tell you what's going on here.
So we have had civilization from other planets on our planet hundreds of thousands of years ago.
There's ample evidence of this.
Even in the United States, if you dig down far enough, if you go down 8,000 feet, you can find their tunnels, their coal mines, their copper mines, all kinds of amazing things that are never really reported anymore.
Because it's just too crackpot.
And these were, in fact, time travelers who have sent us many, many messages and saw the danger of...
Wait a minute.
You've changed your whole pitch from, like, aliens from other worlds to time travelers?
Yeah, but they...
So, when the UFO crashed in Roswell...
See, you have to understand in the space-time continuum, when a UFO crashes, it doesn't just like come out of the sky, it takes like two years to crash, because they're living on a whole different time.
So things play out over a very long period here on Earth years, but it's just like all in a day's work for them.
And they have disabled the nukes.
None of them go off.
None of them.
And we've seen planes have to return back to base because the nukes were incomplete, didn't work.
The nukes have totally been disabled, and I mentioned this at least two years ago on this very show.
And I think these guys are telling the truth.
Alright.
And so, but we still have to...
Well, so this is why we're not going to scare you with nuclear war, which is what I grew up with.
I grew up being very scared of nuclear war, that we would have...
Global thermonuclear war and Russia would press a button.
America would press a button.
So they know they can't make good on that promise.
That's why the terrorism has to come into play.
And it's very easy.
They can make good on the promise.
Yeah, we'll just throw another underwear dude in the plane.
So how do you reconcile this basic theory of yours with the fact that one of our basic tenets of the show on a meta level is that we're going into Pakistan to get their nukes.
No, we're not going into...
I didn't say that.
You just said that.
You've said it before.
I've said it.
No, no, no.
We're not going into Pakistan.
So why do we care about anything going on in Pakistan?
Just for the oil pipelines?
Yes, because it's strategically extremely important to connect China to the rest of the world.
We have to go through Pakistan.
So what you're saying is that those nukes in Pakistan...
Look at these people.
The people running the country are old.
They still have to use some of the old memes.
But what is the new meme?
The new meme is the paki at your corner store is going to blow you up.
That's the new meme.
They're not talking about nukes.
They're not.
That's just like an old thing.
That's just for the old people who vote.
Oh yeah, nukes.
It's all about the paki around the corner is going to blow you up.
That's what it's about.
Now, I have one more...
One more?
It's not...
Believe me, I wouldn't do any more to you.
This Stuxnet thing, which we talked about, we were pretty much first about this.
And I can deconstruct some of the bullshit that is being propagated in the media, in this case by Bloomberg, Bloomberg Television, because I do have some actual technical data, and an interesting story from two years ago, which shows that this is total lie, false flag, bullshit, just to be used to manipulate.
And to get access to our emails.
So here's a cybersecurity expert from the Chertoff Group.
Does that sound familiar to you, John?
The Chertoff Group?
Yeah, Chertoff, that creepy guy that ran Homeland Security.
Yeah, Michael Chertoff.
And if you look at the Chertoff Group's website, oh my God, every Gitmo Nation specialist is a member of the Chertoff Group.
These are the guys that also sell the body scanners.
So listen to how he lies about this Stuxnet, how the info babe from Bloomberg, she was kind of hot, although she has weird breasts.
But that doesn't matter because I'm just obsessed with looking at her.
That's what it's about while the information streams in.
How he sets us all up, and then I'll deconstruct what he says.
There's a report out about a new computer virus that may be aimed at destroying a bricks-and-mortar facility.
The virus is called Stuxnet, and according to the Financial Times, it may be aimed at Iran's controversial nuclear facility.
Joining us now is Richard Falkenrath.
He is principal of the Chertoff Group and a Bloomberg contributing editor.
He's also been a White House advisor on security.
Richard, thanks so much for being with us this morning.
First of all, how does this virus work?
So this virus attacks the SCADA systems for industrial facilities, and that means supervisory data and control systems.
What it does is it originally started with a USB drive.
Someone would take an infected USB drive, stick it into a computer, and then it propagates through the system.
It's a worm, which means it propagates by itself.
Okay.
So he's hitting all the buttons, right?
It's a worm.
It's a USB stick.
It's going to bring down the nuclear facility in Iran.
It's great.
It keeps moving through the system, and it hides its tracks.
But, Richard, I mean, does it have to be placed there?
It seems like it does.
It started with, we think it started with a USB drive that was physically connected to one of the machines, and then it went itself through the network.
How does this guy from the Chertoff group know all this?
I mean, he's such an expert.
How does he know?
And the techie people who analyze this think that, by the way, It's not engineers.
It's the techie people.
No.
Just so you know, the techie people.
Techie people.
I'm just a PR douche.
The techie people know.
This is one of the most sophisticated pieces of malware they've ever seen.
And the reason for that is it's using stolen certificates, the legitimate digital certificates that real companies use to identify themselves when they communicate.
Now, that is not how a digital certificate works.
I'm sorry.
A stolen certificate...
I mean, it's not like a certificate of deposit.
It's not like a passport or something you show.
This is a very stolen certificate.
That's the sketchy part, yeah.
That's a big lie.
And then it exploits four previously unknown vulnerabilities in the window operating system.
These are called Day Zero vulnerabilities.
What?
Did you hear anything about this, about four previously unknown day zero exploits in the Windows operating system?
Nah, that sounds like bullshit.
The theory is, among the security experts, is that this took the resources of a nation state to create a piece of malware this sophisticated.
Well, Richard, I was going to ask you about that because I'm reading this article as well.
Here it comes.
Who do you...
You can't just be like a smart techie guy to make this.
Who do you have to be, John?
You have to be a nation state.
Who do you have to be?
Who could you be?
Who has the best techie people in the world and who hates the Arabs?
Huh?
Who?
A well-financed, highly organized team had to put it together.
What are the chances that the U.S. created it?
And I'm asking you that because it seems like Iran has the most infections out there.
That's right.
Iran has by far the most infections followed by India and Indonesia.
Followed by India.
How do we know this?
How do we know they have the most infections?
Because he is a techie guy.
In what?
Infections in what?
Listen, he's going to tell you who put this worm together.
Who created the worm.
It's so sophisticated we can't figure it out.
This is really smart.
They're storing certificates.
Infections out there.
That's right.
Iran has by far the most infections, followed by India and Indonesia.
And it is theoretically possible that the U.S. government did this, but in my judgment, it's a very remote possibility.
More likely, frankly, is Israel.
Hey!
There we go.
Israel did it.
Of course they did.
They're sitting there in the desert creating these worms.
That Israel did it.
It's not impossible that some group of hackers did it, but the security experts that are studying this really think this required the resources of a nation state.
For the U.S. government to...
The resources of a nation state.
That is...
what?
To launch a piece of malware...
One guy could easily do it.
Three guys could probably do it.
You could put four really good guys together.
You don't need a nation state.
This is bullcrap.
You need a whole...
Well, and I'm going to deconstruct why it's bullcrap in a minute.
...against industrial systems.
A very risky thing to do because it can't really be controlled.
It can't be controlled.
Have you seen this Stuxnet on your Windows machine, John?
It can't be controlled.
I can't control it.
It's rampant.
It's all over the place.
If this worm is so great, how come it's not infecting everybody?
Because it's bullshit.
Spread beyond the place that's being targeted.
But I want to ask, I mean, do countries, I mean, we're talking about Iran in this context of its controversial nuclear site, but is Iran really running its nuclear power, its nuclear plan on Windows software?
Well, yeah.
The main power plant there uses Windows PCs with a Siemens-provided industrial control software package.
And that, in the diagnostics, is how this virus got into it.
Okay, so there's the lie.
And here it is.
I've done the research.
The Stuxnet, according to the papers that the Chertoff Group published, is designed to target the Siemens S7400 and S7300 PLCs.
However, the controllers at the facility are the SIL44AK7 and not the S7400 and S7300. So they're using completely different controllers that are in...
It's a software package that are indeed connected to these Windows machines.
Furthermore...
Scott Borg, head of the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit in 2009, described exactly this scenario as written up in the Yenet News.
And I have the article here.
It's exactly this.
So they just took the idea and just propagated it as one big lie for who God knows why other than, yo, it's so dangerous we have a nuclear meltdown because...
Here it is, published 7-7-2009.
In the late 1990s, a computer specialist from Israel's Shin Bet Internal Security Service hacked into the mainframe of the Pai Gilot fuel depot north of Tel Aviv, meant to be a routine test, blah, blah, blah.
So began a cyber warfare project with a decade on as seen by independent experts as likely the new vanguard of Israel's efforts to foil the nuclear ambitions of arch-enemy Iran.
And the whole scenario is written out here about how it's going to get into the controllers and even here, a contaminated USB stick would be enough, said Borg.
They've written the script and now they're rolling it out.
And they wrote it more than a year ago.
State of War 2006 book by New York Times reporter James Risen recounted a short-lived plan by the CIA and his Israeli counterpart Mossad to fry power lines of an Iranian nuclear facility using a smuggled electromagnetic pulse device.
I mean, these guys, they're just making shit up.
And then they roll it out.
This is, show me one copy of Stuxnet.
The only thing we haven't figured out is the name.
There's got to be a joke.
You know there's some joke in there.
Yeah, I always feel like they're slipping jokes in these scams.
Huh.
You nailed it.
And then on the heels of that, the United States is launching its first test of a new plan for responding to an enemy cyber blitz, including an attack aimed at vital services such as power, water, and banks.
It's called Cyberstorm 3, a three- to four-day drill which starts on Tuesday.
By the way, you know, today is the day that's supposed to be according to at least one prediction.
A huge quake down in Southern California.
Yeah, it's like a 7 or an 8 they're talking about.
Yeah, today.
Yeah, I'm really worried.
At its core, the exercise is about resiliency, testing the nation's ability to cope with the loss or damage to basic aspects of modern life, says Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center and Arlington expert.
What?
The simulation test, the newly developed National Cyber Incidence Response Plan, a coordinated framework ordered by President Barack Obama.
The test involves 11 states, 12 foreign countries, and 60 private companies.
I'm sure Chertoff is a part of that.
Other participants will be Austria, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland.
So they're just gearing up.
This is gearing up to take away everything.
Shut it down.
Do whatever.
So be afraid, slaves.
Be very afraid.
So I got a funny clip if you want to lighten things up.
Please do.
Yeah, well...
So I'm watching an old movie.
It's Caesar and Cleopatra.
Great movie.
And so there's this one little scene in there.
Now, you have to remember that this scene would have taken place, since it's a period piece, based on a play by George Bernard Shaw.
And it was a big, big movie.
And it was, this scene would have been taking place in 50 B.C. Or so.
Maybe 40.
Let's say 40 BC. 40 BC. And they're at a dinner table and the references to the food they're going to be eating seem a little out of place in terms of the timeline of the world.
And you should be listening.
Just listen to this.
See if you can spot at least two of the many flaws.
What shall we serve to whet Caesar's appetite?
Any oysters?
Assuredly.
British oysters?
British oysters, of course.
Oysters, then.
Sea hedgehogs for me.
Have we nothing solid to begin with?
Feel fairs with asparagus.
Fattened fowls, Rupio.
Have some fattened fowls.
Aye, that'll go.
Feel fairs for me.
Caesar will date to choose his wine, Sicilian, Tuscan, Macedonian, Chianti.
All Greek.
Try the Sicilian, Caesar.
Bring me my barley water.
Ugh.
Bring me my fidelity.
British oysters didn't sound right.
British oysters?
British oysters, eh?
And who is going to bring these oysters all the way to Egypt and expect them to be edible?
But the other thing is, British oysters?
British?
The word British?
Yeah, British.
It wasn't that...
Weren't the Romans in the...
Didn't they occupy the isles there?
Not in 50 B.C. as far as I can recall.
Whatever the case is, the one I really got was Chianti.
Yeah, Chianti.
I heard that too.
Like, Chianti?
What?
Chianti in 50 B.C.? I mean...
Who wrote this crap?
Nah, it's just a movie.
Hey, the United States of Europe, speaking of food...
The European Commission, that's the Starfleet Command, has approved the growing of genetically modified crops.
I thought we covered this before.
I thought they already started this like six months ago.
Well, no.
Now they've given the approval for all kinds of crops.
And they're saying, well, everything goes.
Everything goes.
And there's a big movement against this.
And the slaves are trying to get a million votes to stop this.
Then I'm saying, good luck.
Yeah, really?
They're going to laugh at you.
Now watch your unelected slave owners.
Watch them laugh at you.
Watch them laugh as they allow companies like to just come in and take over.
Take over everything.
It's the European Citizens Initiative.
You should rename it, European Slave Initiative.
Then you'd get some media attention.
It was called the Citizens Initiative?
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, that's to get them to stop.
To stop it, yeah.
They're trying to get a million signatures.
They shouldn't have too much trouble getting the signatures, but it's not going to stop anything.
No, it's not going to stop a single thing.
So, I found an Obama catchphrase to change the subject.
Is this one of his backyard barbecue talks?
No, no.
He's gone back on the road into the big venues because he likes to speak to the big venues.
Wait a minute.
He was doing all these backyard barbecues.
What happened to that?
No, they found that those weren't working.
No, no kidding.
And also the small...
The city thing, those little town meetings aren't working because, you know, you got ran into by that black woman.
Right.
And so these things aren't working.
And they also discovered that him...
You know, telling the Democrats that they're a bunch of whiners and they should buck up and all the rest.
That's not working.
So they changed their strategy.
They're going back to what Obama does best, rock concerts.
Yep.
So it's going in front of them.
In this case, it was 26,000 people listening to him at the University of Maryland.
But it's apparent what the new catchphrase is going to be, at least the one that he re-emphasizes over and over again.
So this is a new yes-we-can type thing?
Is it on that level or is it lower scale?
I'm not sure what they're going to do with it, but you can hear it.
It's very obvious they're going to use this over and over again.
But here he is at the end of one of his, or during a pause break, or near the end of his speech to the University of Maryland students, who are all lined up and all smiling and giddy.
Betting on your apathy, especially because a lot of you are young folks.
So Madison, you've got to prove them wrong.
Let's show Washington one more time.
Stop, stop, stop.
I take it back.
You have to start it over.
When he says Madison, this is Wisconsin.
He did the same speech at the University of Maryland.
But I already got the meme.
It's one more time.
No, that's one of them.
There's a bunch of memes in here.
The other thing, by the way, he uses the word folks.
Yeah, folks.
Now everybody in the administration is using folks.
But didn't Bush use folks?
I don't know that Bush used folks the way this guy does.
Yeah, Bush used folks.
These are some bad folks out there.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay, let's start a little bit.
Yeah.
This is University of Wisconsin.
Especially because a lot of you are young folks.
So, Madison, you've got to prove them wrong.
Let's show Washington one more time.
Change doesn't come from the top.
It doesn't come from millions of dollars of special interest funded attack ads.
Change happens from the bottom up.
Change happens because of you.
Hmm, I couldn't quite catch it.
What was it?
Change happens because of you.
Well, that's true.
I think that's true.
Change happens because of you.
Because of you and I, John, we make change happen.
We help people at least live their lives with the knowledge of their lack of freedom, so they feel better about it.
At least, you know, we help there.
You know, the Ministry of Truth is out on Obama.
Did you, I don't think it's been posted yet.
But he, it's amazing how Rolling Stone does this.
Rolling Stone, who used to interview like Kurt Cobain.
Obama's got a huge interview in Rolling Stone magazine.
Done by John Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone.
And in it, he says, Fox News is destructive for the country's growth.
A huge swipe towards the Murdoch institution.
Well, that's an interesting thing, since I have a follow-up clip that relates to that.
Apparently the Obama administration has given a full, you know...
Their approval of both Olbermann and Maddow, and as good journalists as those two are, instead of saying, oh my god, the White House thinks that we're just stooges for them, the two of them went completely giddy, complimenting each other.
Wait a minute, where did the White House say that they were good?
The Assistant Deputy Press Secretary made a comment, I can get that clip for you, but it's kind of boring, about how important they were.
Oh, no.
And it went on and on.
Now, listen to Olbermann and Maddow, which the clip is called Olbermann and Maddow blowing each other.
Play that.
Missed completely again.
Now to discuss what the Democrats would prefer to run away from rather than run on.
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the invaluable Rachel Maddow.
Invaluable.
Thank you very much.
Well, it's not me saying that.
That was the Deputy Press Secretary who said that.
Well, you too are invaluable if I remember the quote correctly, Keith.
Well, I wasn't going to point that out, but thank you for doing so.
Well done and very subtle.
Thank you, Keith.
Thank you.
Terrible.
You're invaluable.
I mean, these people should be ashamed of themselves.
They shouldn't be proud.
How can you be a journalist and then take that accolade and tout it like that?
That is horrible.
It's totally horrible.
Rachel Maddow, who walks around at the White House Christmas party as an invited guest...
Wow.
It's actually ridiculous.
Before we finish, I want to point out something we've got.
Eric has a thing called NoAgendaNation.com, which is a map showing where all of our donors are.
And he wants to put together a system where the donors can actually put their information.
If they have a company or something they want to plug, we can put a directory together.
It can all be automated.
Oh, good idea.
So if you're floating around, say you're a No Agenda listener and you happen to be floating around in Kansas City, you can go to the noagendanation.com and click around.
You'll find maybe there's a barbecue place.
You want to go check out one of the nights that might be running.
That'd be great, yeah.
He also wants to do this one thing, and this is up to you to agree or disagree on, which is if people want to send us show notes or some of these ideas that I keep losing because people, you know, these things back up.
Like your education special?
I'm still working on that.
Yeah, I know.
He's got show notes at noagendanation.com as an email address that people can use if they want to.
You can put that in the links if you wanted to.
It'll at least isolate some of the stuff we can do.
And then he can send it to you and then you can do nothing with it.
It's great.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a great sinkhole.
It's a way we operate.
Sinkhole.
I like it.
St.
Coles are good.
I got a couple things I just want to touch on before we finish with the show.
From one of our producers who wishes to remain anonymous.
Hey Curry, I'm applying for a job and here was one of the questions on the application form.
Are you willing to submit to a pre-employment drug and tobacco test?
What?
A tobacco test?
That's weird.
Yeah, it is.
That's like, whoa, okay.
We had...
Here it is.
I have some Haiti news.
A Haiti update.
The AP released a statement earlier this week that not a single dime, not a single dime, ruble, or shekel, nearly nine months after or shekel, nearly nine months after the earthquake, of the $1.1 billion pledged has actually made it to Haiti.
Unbelievable.
How is it possible?
I don't see how that could even happen in this day and age.
uh Nor is Haiti getting much worse.
What do you think the people, although our listeners I'm sure weren't susceptible to this being suckered, how do people feel texting the $10 or sending a donation and then hearing this a year later?
Let's just listen to what our former presidents Bush and Clinton said as they were asked by our current president, Barack Obama, to come into the White House after this tragedy, this disaster.
They went on television worldwide, but mainly aimed at the North American market, and said this.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
And so the cash went to the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, because of course they didn't have time to set up the HaitiFoundation.org just yet.
And the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation has still to release their annual report.
So the money is gone.
Thanks for sending us your cash and not your blankets.
Um...
Some 50 other nations and organizations pledged a total of $8.75 billion for reconstruction.
So far, $686 million of that has reached Haiti.
But most of that was already pledged by CHF International for rubble removal and temporary shelters.
But right now, only 2% of the rubble has been cleared.
The money is gone, okay?
The money is gone.
Now, so this news comes out and then the State Department, and I'm going to need some help from our producers out there, the State Department announces a new puppet who I can't find anything.
The State Department didn't even have a news release on their State Department website.
I'm just bringing up the, this is of course another Ministry of Truth released from AP, Jonathan M. Katz.
The U.S. State Department has named a special coordinator to oversee Washington's reconstruction plans.
Notice it's Washington's reconstruction plans.
An earthquake ravaged Haiti amid complaints about the lagging of promised aid money.
Two officials at the department told the Associated Press on Wednesday that Thomas C. Adams has already started on the job.
Now, go ahead and Google him.
You can't find a bio, you can't find a wiki page, you can't find him on the State Department website.
Nowhere.
So the guy may not even exist, but he's already started.
The officials agreed to discuss the move only if not quoted by name because the appointment had not been made public.
Right.
The disclosure came a day after the AP reported that none of the $1.15 billion in reconstruction aid pledged by the U.S. at a donors conference in March has arrived.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And Wyclef Jean is now in the hospital.
Yeah.
I guess he didn't go along with the program.
He did not play at all by the rules of the program.
He didn't get it.
No.
Well, last thing.
I want to get the last word in.
Do we want to do this Segway guy?
Because it happened early in the week.
Nah, it's kind of sickening.
You know, the Segway guy died.
The guy who owned the Segway company died because of a Segway accident.
But he went over a cliff.
You know the other thing that that company made?
Yeah, it's a military contractor.
They make guardrails.
It's not exactly guardrails.
Do they actually make real guardrails for highways?
That's what Mimi turned up.
Yeah, she said they do.
I thought that he made barriers that stop bullets or something like that.
He's a military guy.
And he flies...
He owns...
Or he owned, I should say...
Surplus military fighter jets.
I mean, the guy's in the business.
Yeah, he could have been assassinated.
It's two to the head, total.
Yeah.
Hi, John.
I was in Ethiopia recently and met a Chinese-American woman in her mid-30s who is currently living in Sana's Yemen.
She speaks fluent Arabic to such an extent that when she is wearing her burqa, which she must do in public there, Yemenites cannot tell she is not local.
Apart from Ethiopia, some other vacations she has taken are to Anbar province in Iraq, also to Pakistan.
Of course, I immediately thought she must be CIA, so I asked her why she's in Yemen.
She said she just finds the culture interesting and supportive.
I love the food.
And supposedly works as a photographer for a German infrastructure company.
Guess what?
She has a computer science degree from UC Berkeley.
Oh, yeah.
So I laugh when you hear her.
You know, that woman, she was interviewed on the BBC, on the BBC World News.
And she said, I wish I had pulled a clip from that.
She said, you know, the reason I went hiking there is because I wanted to find out the truth about what people say about Iraq and know about Iraq.
She was following her map.
But she said, you know, my writing.
Has she written?
I thought she was just a hiker.
Now she's a writer?
Oh, well, you know, you never know.
Yeah, yeah.
And what's the deal?
Why did they release her?
Does she really have cancer?
She has breast cancer.
Because they're not talking about that anymore.
No, you know.
They changed the script on these things.
Does she have to undergo chemo or radiation?
I don't know.
Nobody cares.
She's just doing interviews.
I mean, I don't understand.
She's just doing interviews.
Stressful interviews.
Very stressful interviews.
Okay.
Rahm Emanuel should be announcing tomorrow that he's running for Chicago mayor.
So he's out.
Everyone's bailing.
Everyone's bailing on this thing.
They're all out.
They do not want to be a part of it.
Well, you know, I don't think it's going to be the bloodbath that everybody's predicting in terms of the midterm elections, personally.
But I still think the Republicans should get the House back, barely.
But I think the administration must be a bitch to work for.
Yeah, especially Emmanuel.
Hey, good news though, John.
It seems like by 2012, airline passengers may once again be allowed to board flights with creams, gels, and liquids that so far have been banned.
Why do you think that is?
Well, because in two years...
Because it's bullshit?
Do you think maybe that's the real reason?
Well, no.
No.
They're going to put RFID in the solutions?
Close, close.
They will have new equipment capable of detecting explosives in water bottles, makeup kits, or toothpaste tubes.
Oh, really?
And these will be installed at most airport security checkpoints by 2012.
There you go.
So I just want to jump into that.
There was this huge truck stop, if you will.
Let me see where that was.
I want to say it was somewhere in the south.
And they have these...
There's a new company we need to look at who are making amazing things.
Just listen to a little bit of this report.
Live, local, late-breaking.
This is Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m. You can count on.
We have new information on this breaking news.
Hundreds of truck inspections on Interstate 20.
In the past few minutes, we confirmed this is all part of a counter-terrorism operation.
Good evening.
I'm John Pruitt.
Everyone from Homeland Security to air marshals are involved.
We've seen inspectors pulling over semis on I-20 in Douglas County.
I'm trying to figure out where this is, but listen to the report.
Using explosive detectors on those trucks.
A tip to Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winnie got us started on the story this afternoon.
Mark has been working his sources ever since.
He's live on the scene with what he's learned in the past few minutes.
Mark.
See this guy right here?
I understand the device he's using.
So the guy has like a little handheld scanner and he's running it against the side of the truck.
This is in New Mexico, I believe.
Um...
Atlanta.
Oh, it's Atlanta.
Okay.
Atlanta.
The thing on that truck is to detect radiation.
Now the TSA spokesman told us that the Federal Air Marshals are the...
So, by the way, it's the TSA and Federal Air Marshals stopping trucks...
Hello?
How does that work?
We need a federal law enforcement agency today at this truck stop in Douglas County, but there are federal, state, and local agencies involved.
The operation is called Viper, Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response.
Viper!
Viper!
What crock of crap is this?
What is the deal here?
Are they putting a sneeze on the Teamsters or on interstate commerce?
There's something behind it.
It's terrorism.
No, it's a new company.
High-speed rail.
This shows you how inconvenient trucks are.
And it's a new company, RKB. Who have a proud FEMA logo on their website because they've received FEMA preparedness grants.
You can go to rkb.us and I'll tell you some of the great...
Here's what I want you to really tell me.
You're going to skip all the rest of it.
I mean, you can play a little more of the clip.
It's stupid.
But there's the question that comes to mind.
And here's the question that the reporter should ask.
After spending, what, hundreds of thousands of dollars on all these guys coming in from out of town and all the rest of it, probably lots of overtime with a little radiation detector or whatever they are.
What did they come up with?
What did they come up with?
Nothing.
Nothing.
But you have to look at this company, Smith's Detection, and they have, and this is all researched by producer of the Radar Man, by the way, they have these, just look at this website, Smith's Detection.com.
So they have products and solutions by threat, by market sector.
This is a great company.
We've got to get in on this company, John.
They have the HCVM. This is the...
It's well known in the fight against smuggling and terrorism.
Become an indispensable tool for customs officers and government authorities applying homeland security rules.
So basically it's a huge radar, x-ray, and you run the truck through it.
And then they can see through, like, they have like some thing here.
It can go through up to 200...
And 80 millimeters of steel.
That's 28 centimeters.
That's a foot.
Who drives the truck?
It's a foot.
No, just the regular dude.
Does the guy come out as a corpse?
The driver?
The guy drives it through himself.
But listen, steel penetration of a foot, 11 inches.
Huh?
What kind of radar, what kind of x-ray is that that goes through a foot of steel?
I don't know.
It doesn't sound healthy.
No.
They've got amazing...
I hate to get downwind of that thing.
And they're making these poor schmucks drive through it.
They've got millimeter wave inspection.
They've got the Eco.
It's very beautiful.
Which is networked.
It's an amazing company.
Let's see, are they public?
Nope.
I hope they have an IPO. Wow.
Just great.
It's just great.
Great stuff.
Alright, I think I'll wind it up with a little select clip from Access Hollywood, because while we are telling you all of this stuff and to be on the lookout for the true terrorists who are in Washington, who are terrorizing you and trying to make you feel like a very scared slave, here's what the networks really want you to be worried about.
Moving on now to Lindsay Lohan.
We asked the nation out on bail.
Will Lindsay manage to stay clean until her October 22nd court date?
And this one wasn't even close.
91% of the nation said no chance she's an addict who's not getting help.
I don't mean to be smiling and laughing as they say this either.
No.
It's a natural reaction.
I think a lot of people feel the same way as Judge Eldon Fox, the original judge that said, you know what?
Enough crap.
You're going straight to jail.
Goodbye.
The zero-tolerance approach.
Enough is enough.
She's been to jail three times since 2007, and this next time she goes to rehab will be five times in rehab.
Which means we have a total of four mugshots, Billy.
I'm thinking we could do a coffee table book about her mugshot.
Good point, Maria.
And on that lighter side, which Lindsay mugshot is your favorite?
45% say Lindsay's most recent shot is the best.
I don't know.
It looks like the lips have been done or something in the last few years.
Well, clearly.
But I think she does look a lot more fresh than she has.
Certainly more alert and with it.
So which Lindsay mugshot...
These people should be shot.
Which Lindsay mugshot do you like the best?
I know.
It's too funny, though.
And that's what most of the slaves are watching.
Well, not our listeners.
No, no, of course not.
And we'd like to continue to bring you real information.
We do a lot so you don't have to.
Like watching boneheads from the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime.
Setting up videos that they forgot to edit.
We watch C-SPAN. And sometimes we even watch horrible new television.
Just to find the memes of how you're being mind-controlled.
To support us, go to Dvorak.org slash NA or channel Dvorak.com slash NA. Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic here of Southern California where we should have a big earthquake today.
I'm Adam Curry.
Yeah, good luck with that earthquake.
And I'm up here in northern Silicon Valley where it should be safe.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Export Selection
