It is 10, 10, 10, and time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 242.
This is No Agenda.
Still awaiting the good karma here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the friggin' morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it is actually 10-10 in the morning, I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackpot and Mo's Kills.
In the morning.
Well, maybe it's 10-10 where you are.
That's what it says on my clock.
Okay, we'll take it.
In the morning to you, John.
In the...
Well, let me check.
Yeah, it is still the morning.
Yeah, it is still kind of the morning.
So you had a little problems this morning getting the show going.
Yeah, there's something really messed up with the system.
You know what?
Actually, have you tweeted?
Let's tweet that we're live now so we can send out the bat signal.
Oops, why didn't that work?
Here we go.
Hey, John, hold on a second.
Before we do anything, it's time for the National Anthem.
Are you ready?
Hit it.
Slaves in the chat room, get ready!
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem!
In the morning, Gitmo Nation We are all charged up to be Human resources and servants In all lands and all ships and sea We are happy and distracted
slaves.
Hear our gift for nation's song.
I love the we are happy and distracted slaves bit.
That's the best part.
It's a factual anthem.
I think it's a winner.
Yeah, the Jeff Smith once again comes through with our Gitmo National Anthem.
That needs to be available for download for everyone.
Yes, as it shall be.
It shall be available for download.
That would be a good one for a ringtone.
Well, not just for a ringtone.
It would be good for the primer.
It'd be good for the primers.
It'd also be good for people to just play when they wake up.
So happy 42 day, John.
Yes, 42 indeed.
It is 10-10-10, the binary for 42.
And 42, as you know, is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
And that is, of course, what was the question?
See, now I've really got it down.
Now I've practiced the slogan for today's lucky day.
But interestingly enough, October so far has sucked balls for us.
Totally.
It's like, why is that?
Everything has gone wrong.
Well, you know, I think, since these things, to me at least, are cyclical in some way, shape, or form, we're going to have a great November.
I hope so, because so far it's been so bad.
I mean, literally, I've been sick, things have been breaking, my daughter dislocated her knee, insurance stuff not worked out, then spent over an hour, what, over an hour?
I got up at 5.30 this morning and started messing around with this stuff and didn't really notice the problem until about 7.00.
And then spent three hours dicking around with Ableton Live.
And somehow, I think it was actually the Gitmo Nation anthem that messed up the system.
Well, why not?
Yeah, of course.
Why not?
Why not?
Anyway, we are live now streaming at NoAgendaStream.com.
And of course, we've got all of the human resources in the chat room at NoAgendaChat.net.
And welcome to episode 242.
How coincidental is that?
Yeah.
Oh, that's interesting.
I never noticed that.
It's like, and not that, but it's a palindrome.
Yes, it is.
242-242.
And 10-10-10 binary is 42.
And if you're just tuning into this program, you're probably tuning out now.
Going like, what?
What are these guys talking about?
We have nobody listening to this show.
Yeah, this is the one thing that we've received a lot of good emails about, though, is about the idea of putting together a no-agenda primer, which I still think should be primer.
I don't know why...
I don't care.
Yeah, primer doesn't sound right, but it doesn't matter.
To help people understand what the program is about so you can turn on more people to the show, because, you know, really it takes one or two goes at the program before people are like, oh, okay, now I understand what's going on.
Well, you know, it reminds me a little bit of...
In terms of radio shows, the Jim Rome Sports Talk Show.
Everybody is the Jim Rome Sports Talk Show.
That's not the way Rome operates.
He's got a gravelly voice.
It's hard to imagine.
He has his own lingo for everything.
So when you first listen to the show, you go...
What is he talking about?
I don't understand half of it.
Well, that's the same thing we have.
We got our own lingo.
It's absolutely true.
So anyway, we've had a lot of really good ideas, and John and I are preparing and putting together a primer, which will be a relatively short thing you can send people to and say, listen to this, you'll get it.
And one of the things we talked about after a Thursday show is the idea of what a lot of top 40 radio stations do when they're in a market.
They do a barter with a local affiliate television station for a commercial, right?
And the guys will put together a commercial, and it's always the same.
It's a cop, it's a fireman, it's a guy at a deli, it's a soccer mom, and these are the people that the station wants to reach, so then you identify with those people, and the cop goes, I always listen to 95.5 in the morning, it keeps me going!
And then the soccer mom was like, I love five songs non-stop in a row, so we have to do those kinds of testimonials literally that short?
And I think we can pepper them throughout the primer, or at least use them in the production.
Yeah, and...
And I've set up a drop site, drop.io slash naprimmer, and that's where you can go and upload your little, you know, so don't go like, hi, this is John, you know, producer from Gitmo.
No, no, no.
It's just like, hi, you know, I'm a school teacher.
You know, I'm Pete the school teacher.
No agenda has really helped me educate the kids.
You know, something simple like that.
It's really woken me up to reality.
Now I understand how the media is lying to me.
These are the types of things that you need to say.
Do you think it'll work?
Yeah, but people are going to have to record these.
You can do it on your PC or your Mac.
Here's a tip.
Don't use Ableton Live.
And then drop it in a drop box.
Where's the drop box?
It's drop.io slash naprimer.
N-A-P-R-I-M-E-R. No, it was a drop.io, D-R-O-P dot I-O slash N-A-P-R-I-M-E-R, N-A Primer.
Good enough.
By the way, today we're also on the Backup No Agenda stream.
This is the one thing we didn't have a problem with today, but we had the problem the last two shows, is the stream seems to just disappear for certain parts of Gitmo Nation.
So Chris from Allentown, Pennsylvania, has set up NoAgendaBackupStream.com.
Which is fantastic.
So we're actually streaming on the backup server as well.
And should something happen to this stream, then I can switch our broadcast signal over to noagendabackupstream.com and we should be able to continue the show from there.
So if that happens and you don't hear us anymore, then that's the place to check out.
Now that that's available, nothing wrong, you'll be fine.
Of course.
Once you set up the backup.
Once you set up the backup, then it never fails.
Of course.
Never fails.
That's the idea.
That's why we do it.
And we really appreciate it, Chris.
Producer Chris from Allentown.
Great job, man.
Really appreciate that.
That really helps out.
So we did have some people supporting this show, and of course we have our special 10-10-10 Lucky Karma.
I think probably what's happened is all of our karma has drained away, and hopefully it's going...
It's kind of people getting work.
Yeah, that's okay.
We can handle it.
But we do have people that we need to thank for keeping us on the air, and I think what I'm going to have to do is take a portion of our support money and get a new computer that is dedicated to the task, because I think the MacBook Pro is just not reliable enough anymore.
So we have a number of...
Again, I want to remind people who have donated to the Triple Tan Nighthood, which ends at midnight tonight, by the way.
Anyone else wants to get in on this?
It's just a short list.
But anyone who's donated to that fund, they will have stand-alone executive producer privileges that we're going to put...
I was going to do one a week, or one a show, but I'm going to change it to two because we've got enough to...
I don't want to get too backed up.
So you're going to be mentioned today, but you won't get your executive producer thing until a future show where you'll be a standalone executive producer.
That means your executive producer name instead of just putting you in a whole list.
By the way, you're also going to be on a special 10-10-10 night page.
At noagendashow.com.
Right.
But we are going to give everyone who became the super executive producer with the 10-10-10 promotion their own executive producer credit.
And let's please, Eric, please, let's track this properly.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
We've got some producers this week.
First, we've got three donors to the 10-10-10 knighthood, which is, I'll mention them, Zen Garden, And Zachary Giesemann, who by the way appears to be a SISOP, Zen Gardens from Milan, Zurich, Switzerland.
I think it's Giesemann.
No, he says right here, Giesemann.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
That's what I would think, too.
You spell it Giesemann.
Right, okay.
But he has it down.
His last name pronounced Giesemann.
Actually, Giesemann.
Thanks for the great value.
Provide your continued support.
He's a CIS admin in Moses Lake, Washington.
Thank you very much.
And power to the CIS admins.
He's a CIS admin for the lake.
Right.
Drain it and see what happens.
Yay!
And then Bonslav Manov.
Borislav.
Oh, that's right.
Borislav Marinov.
It's the font.
Right.
Borislav Manov.
Or is it Marinov?
Borislav Marinov.
Marinov.
Yes.
Aliso Viejo, California.
And they'll be executive producers on a future show, Stand Alone.
This week's executive producers from last week will be Nicholas Pelsmacher, Stand Alone executive producer, and David Hoffman.
Okay.
Well, after the show, we'll run through that again.
Meanwhile, we've got executive producer Lawrence Royk, who's now Sir Lawrence at Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
He's already been a knight and he's looking for a second one.
And then we have one that you can pronounce.
Wouter Selye.
Who gave us $333.34.
He wants to be a knight, but he doesn't want the free penny that we toss in for people giving $333.33, thinking it's just too much of a drain on the resources.
To hell yeah!
For us to cough in the penny.
Meanwhile, he wanted you to pronounce his name.
Wouter.
Yeah, Wouter from Hilversum, North Holland.
Yeah.
And for some reason it says United Kingdom, but that's not true.
I know that's not right.
That's a PayPal error.
Yeah, really?
PayPal registers that as United Kingdom.
Awesome.
He says he's going to go measure himself for the knighthood ring.
He's going to stick his finger in a hole soon to get the right size.
I'm not sure what that means.
Uh-huh.
Right.
He believes the NSA is interrupting our stream.
I don't think so.
Paul Couture, 33333.
Now, Paul had a message here.
So, first of all, he...
What has he said?
He set up...
Been out of touch.
He wanted to know if we could mention secretariatgame.com.
I have no idea why.
Because he's working on that to show that he's doing something with his time.
He needs something legitimate for his tax return.
And then two, three associate executive producers, Nelson Ferreira in New Rochelle, New York.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Great.
Only credit his wife's name, Indy Hoffman.
Way to go, John.
Well, you know, I read the name before I read the note.
She's a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan, especially the Marvin, the Paranoid Android.
So 10-10-10, it gives 42 special episodes.
Very fitting.
And so she'll be the one.
It's going to be her, not him.
Indy Hoffman is the associate executive producer.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Before you do the next one, hold on a second.
There's like some note here.
Oh, great.
Now, these two.
Oh, gosh.
Okay, Nelson Ferreira.
Okay, so she now mentions his name.
No, they're not supposed to mention it.
Can you guys simplify things, please?
Can you just, like, hop in bed together and screw each other?
You need to, like, get together and do something.
Yeah, really.
Like, don't mention it.
We're not your middlemen.
This is for my wife.
No, this is for my husband.
Like, you guys, like, don't mention my name.
Don't mention my name.
And at the end of the month, it's like, hey, how come we don't have money for gas?
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
We love you guys, but, you know, oh, boy.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say either.
Okay, so they're getting mentioned some...
I don't know.
But they're associate executive producers.
And then we have Shea O'Brien from Ventura.
Who's got nothing to say, which is a good thing.
And that would be it for our associate executives for this week.
Wow, okay.
So again, we will have a separate page for all of the 10-10-10 nights.
That is going to be at NoAgendaShow.com.
We'll have a standalone producer for every single show moving forward for everyone who became a 10-10 night.
And then, of course, executive producers for today's program, Zengarten, Zachary Giesemann, Borislav Marinoff, Sir Lawrence Royk, Wouter Slayer, Sir Paul Couture, associate executive producers, Indy Hoffman, Nelson Ferreira, and Shea O'Brien.
I think I got it there.
So this is a real credit.
A lot of you are already putting it onto your...
You know what I've seen, John?
I've seen people put credits on their email signatures that say, future night.
I would have seen that.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Future night.
But this is the real credit, the one you really want.
And I don't care.
You can have a small $30,000 budget movie.
If you get a credit on that, it's still an official credit.
It really counts everywhere.
And unlike the douchebags in Hollywood, we will give you the vouch that you need when someone calls up and says, Hey, is this for real?
Absolutely.
All the rest of you out there, go out and propagate our message loud and proud.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Milk!
Milk!
Water!
Water!
Stay with me now!
Shut up, sleep!
Righto.
Righto.
All right, we're into the show, finally.
Oh, brother.
Sorry about that, man.
I'm really sorry about the technical difficulties.
That sucks.
I'm sorry.
There's nothing you can do about it.
No.
I blame Steve Jobs.
Fuck him.
Or George Bush.
Yeah, George Bush.
It's his fault.
So they're pulling people over in Arizona.
Yeah, for no good reason, right?
Well...
Uh, yeah.
Well, actually, this guy, one of our producers wrote in saying that he got into an accident, and so then after the cop took down all the information, some organization, the, uh, actually, oh, prevention, okay, hold on a second.
I have to get my little pad.
Okay.
This organization, by the mic, Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which is kind of an umbrella organization for an operation out of Berkeley.
Key word, Berkeley.
Berkeley, the spooks.
That's where the spooks are.
Yeah, isn't that wild?
I mean, the more evidence we get about Berkeley, it's like, okay, Prevention Research Center in Berkeley...
He's doing research, and so I'm reading this, and I started looking into both these operations, especially the Pacific Research Center, where the head guy, who's pictured on the website wearing a Hawaiian shirt and looking pretty funny, they have this sentence describing where he is.
He's actually not working out of Berkeley.
He's, quote-unquote, out-stationed.
Out-stationed, which sounds like a buzz term to me, in the San Diego field office.
Oh yeah, field office.
Spook!
Field office is always like a...
But out-stationed, it sounds like, out-stationed?
Well, whenever they say station, that's a CIA code word.
Station is, you know, you're a station chief, it's a station.
By the way, interesting side note to trains there.
But yeah, it's a station, it's a CIA thing.
And who was in San Diego recently with all those things buzzing around?
That was you.
Yes, it was.
And you still think it's fishy.
A lot of black helicopters.
Yeah, one every 90 seconds there was something flying by.
Yeah.
So anyway, so he's out stationed there at the field office.
And meanwhile, they apparently are testing people for, according to our source, they pull them over.
They didn't pull them over.
They did the thing about the accident.
He apparently grilled them about this.
So they found out a couple of things.
One, in Arizona, they're going to be routinely pulling people over just out of the blue to grill them about alcohol use.
Right, because what they did is they gave them a survey.
They actually paid them for it, right?
Fifteen bucks or something?
Yeah, but by the way, if you're going to get pulled over for this, you can hold out for a hundred.
Just say, look, a hundred dollars, I'll do your survey.
A hundred bucks, folks.
So what do you think is behind this pulling people over and asking them, A, do they drink?
Do they ever drink when they drive?
And I think, did they also ask them for a blood test?
They were doing that or a swab.
And I started looking into this and I discovered that this has been going on since at least 2007 around the country.
There's a bunch of reports coming out of Colorado.
Where they've been pulling people over out of the blue in supposed checkpoints.
And then the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation would come up and say, look, we're an independent organization.
We're doing a survey on alcohol use.
And apparently these operations, both the Prevention Research Center, actually it's all really the Prevention Research Center, all they do is work on alcohol-related and drug-related issues and how to prevent them.
And if we're going to stick with our theory that the various intelligence organizations are responsible for the drug trade, there's a couple of curiosities here.
One, when you go through any of the information on the PRC site or the Pacific Institute site, And they talk about drugs and they talk about, there's huge reports on new, out of the Australian field office and elsewhere, Alaska field office, on huffing and marijuana and just about everything you can imagine.
And I could not find anywhere on the site the word heroin.
Huh.
No, because that's the drug we want you on.
We don't want to take that away from you.
Heroin is never mentioned.
No, that's good stuff.
That's the mint.
Actually, cocaine is rarely mentioned, but heroin is never mentioned, which I find peculiar.
But anyway, I was thinking about this.
What difference does it make?
I mean, it could be market research.
This is like a reverse version of market research.
You try to figure out what people are doing, what makes them want to drink, and maybe we can shift them over to heroin by understanding the process.
Because there's report after report.
Some of them are wild.
Very interesting, very interesting to read.
But I started thinking about it, especially since it's been going on since 2002.
I believe...
I think this is a marketing thing, but it's got nothing to do with heroin.
I think it's either they got some money or these operations are huge, by the way.
I think it's to switch over from breathalyzers to some other technology, and there's a bunch of new ones out there, many using a swab.
And I think they're trying to get people to take a breathalyzer.
Because this guy said he had to take a breathalyzer.
And then I think they swabbed him or they did something else.
And I'm thinking, well, why are you doing two?
It's just to compare the accuracy of these things.
So they can try to shift people away from using the breathalyzer.
Because the breathalyzer, nowadays you can get one for $30.
They're a fixed cost.
And these little swab things, these things you can swab with to get alcohol content.
Well, this is clearly, this is a multi-step process, John.
And Mothers Against Drunk Driving is involved in this.
So I think ultimately we want to first get everyone onto the scram bracelet.
We want to make sure that you're not allowed to drink.
And when you're not allowed to drink, what are you going to do?
You're going to reach for some horse.
I can't drink anymore.
What am I going to do?
What if they're not talked about?
Let's see.
Oh, that's right.
Heroin.
That's not a problem.
That's okay.
Because there's no issue with that.
It's a multi-step process.
In fact, the first step has got to be, anyone who has even smelt alcohol, let's pull them over.
And let's give them an injunction, slap a bracelet on them.
I mean, I think there's something to that, but I think the specific thing they're doing here, maybe it's all leading there.
It could be.
It wouldn't surprise me.
But I still think it's to get away from using breathalyzers and start to use swabs, because the swabs are $2 a piece, and if you swab 100 people, that's $200, and you could probably charge the taxpayers $400 for that, as opposed to $29 for one breathalyzer or $100 for a professional one.
Well, this does tie into an interesting news report I came across from Houston.
Do you mind if you just listen to this?
I think this will put some pieces together for you.
Some people are calling it driving while almost drunk.
There's a new campaign underway to create a new category of driving while intoxicated.
I'm a news reporter.
Kevin Quinn is live from North Houston with more on the proposal and reaction from MAD. Kevin?
Dave, the MAD chapter here in Houston supports anything that will get drunk drivers off the streets.
They see this potential new law as another weapon in a police officer's arsenal.
If supporters get their way, it could soon be illegal to drive in Texas if your blood alcohol level registers at.05.
Now, just so we know,.08 is the legal limit, and now they're talking about.05, which will have...
Right, and it's arguable whether you're really drunk at.08.
It used to be.1 and.12 in most of the country.
Yeah, but now we're moving towards just zero.
And they have a name for it, too.
The problem of drunk driving is so...
This is the interim manager for MAD. Rampant.
MAD Southeast Texas Interim Executive Director Jennifer Northway says the move could save lives.
It's important that, as a community, we look at ways that we can contribute to creating a safer community.
Right, and let me just remind everybody that MAD makes...
Tens of millions of dollars a year on these special courses that are assigned by the judge.
You have to go to MAD. You have to pay for it.
And they pay themselves 65 or maybe even 70% of the money they receive in their own salaries.
Current law makes it illegal to drive if you have a.08 blood alcohol level.
The new law would be called D-W-A-I. D-W-A-I. Oh yes, it's like Al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula.
It's D-W-A-I. While ability impaired.
Ability impaired.
You know how many people are on the road whose ability is impaired to drive and has nothing to do with drugs?
Most everyone.
Yes.
The entire Chinese community around here.
I'm sorry, I'm just kidding.
No, you're not.
He says it more accurately reflects that a person was driving after drinking, opposed to someone pleading to a lesser charge.
That doesn't indicate that the driver was impaired.
Good to know, he says, if they do it again.
So if the person doesn't learn their lesson, they get treated as the repeat offender that they are, instead of being treated as a first-time offender.
Ah, there it is.
There it is.
He's that dick.
He's the cop.
Oh.
He's a cop.
Some worry that such a law could amount to de facto zero tolerance on the roads.
Eventually, anybody that's driving in the city of Houston or anywhere in the state of Texas after 11 o'clock at night near a restaurant or bar is going to be susceptible to being stopped, arrested, and convicted.
There you go.
That's it.
That's where it's going towards.
Hey, you drove by a bar and some beer splattered on you?
Come here, slave.
You're coming along, son.
That's about it.
That's totally what it is.
Wow.
Yeah, well, okay.
All right, well, we start off in this depressing note.
Hey, I've done a little bit of research.
I got a...
First of all, do you have the prediction book there, John?
Yeah, let me...
Hold on.
Okay.
What did I predict about...
Wait, what's the date?
Today's 10?
Today's 10, 10, 10.
Wait a minute, let me get the date.
What did I say about a future oil crisis, and where did I say it might happen?
Let me go back a couple pages.
You don't have any fucking book, do you?
Norway.
Right.
No, you said Norway.
Yeah, there's a tanker now sinking in the English Channel, and of course the news is not accurately reporting it just yet, but it's a chemical tanker.
Filled with heavy pie gas gasoline.
What is that?
What's pie gas?
Hey Martha, did you eat enough of that apple pie?
I'm getting a lot of gas.
Pie gas.
P-Y-G-A-S. Pie gas.
Do you know what that is?
Pie gas?
I have no idea.
You'd think I'd know it, wouldn't you?
Yeah, you'd think you would.
So there was a collision.
And it's amazing because the entire report is like a chemical tanker which collided with a cargo ship off France's Brittany coast overnight is being towed toward the French port of Brest.
Stop.
PyGas is a naphtha range product with high aromatics content used either for gasoline blending or as a feedstock for a BTX extraction unit.
It's the good stuff.
Is it good if it gets in the water?
Well, it evaporates fast.
Okay, that's good.
I would hope.
So, no one is really reporting on this.
It's like, ah, just a little collision there.
But they've turned off the tracking system.
Wait a minute, I take it back.
It's heavy pie gas.
Heavy pie gas.
It's probably not going to evaporate very fast.
It's a pie roll...
Pyrolysis gasoline.
Pyrolysis.
Pyrolysis.
A product of ethylene manufacturing contains a large amount of the industrial solvent benzene.
Right, well that's kind of the drawback.
It's a downer.
So this thing is sinking, essentially.
They've pulled the crew off the ship with helicopter, but no one's really reporting on it.
And the worst thing they've done is they've turned off the tracking system.
All these ships have tracking systems, kind of like an airplane has a transponder.
And they've turned it off, so now we can't even follow what's happening with it.
But don't worry, says the Coast Guard.
No imminent threat.
Certainly no imminent threat.
Don't worry about it.
Please carry on.
Enjoy your television.
Dancing with the Stars.
This is it.
You're going to see this is it.
This is probably the disaster that we've been waiting for.
If they're not playing it up, what's the point?
And by the way, let me mention something.
This is like the fall schedule.
It's not on the schedule yet.
Maybe it happened too early.
Do we know where that pie gas came from?
Let me see.
Because I don't know why you would ship the stuff on a tanker.
The stuff is ready to be blended into gasoline and sold locally.
It doesn't make any sense that you'd move it, especially where you're moving it to.
I think the collision happened too early.
It was traveling from Italy to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, really?
You'd think Rotterdam, but for some reason it was going to Amsterdam.
That's interesting.
And it was struck by a much larger ship.
You know, it's not hard to fly out there and get some video.
You know, that would be a good one to blow up.
So you'd move it to Amsterdam for...
I don't know if they have a blending facility in Amsterdam.
This is a blending stock.
No, that's all Rotterdam.
Rotterdam is where all that stuff is.
Yeah, Rotterdam is where the action is.
Amsterdam is for the cruise ships.
Maybe it was misreported.
Well, it's certainly underreported, and I think that when benzene...
Oh, don't worry, it's not leaking.
Yeah, okay.
We'll see.
But the real news today...
It's something that we actually didn't catch, or I didn't catch, because I was all over the oil cabal.
Remember the guy who's in charge of the $20 billion BP fund to help everybody in the Gulf?
Yeah, the goofball.
Yeah, Feinberg, who also was in charge of the money for the 9-11 victims.
The guy's a total shill.
Yeah, totally.
So Obama appoints him, right?
Oh, you're going to be the guy.
You're the paymaster.
You're going to take care of everything.
You're going to oversee it all.
So this fund, which is literally an escrow fund, it's not like BP paid the money to the government.
Who do you think is...
So if they put this guy in charge, right?
Obama made a big deal about it, put the guy in charge.
Who's in charge of this guy?
I don't know, Timothy.
Well, let's go back and listen to his testimony.
And I can't believe we missed this.
Let's listen to his testimony, and then I have some news that came out just yesterday.
You have, obviously, a very able staff.
Are they working pro bono?
No.
Are you kidding me?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
We don't work pro bono.
With this kind of money?
Well, hold on.
He decides...
Who decides their salary?
BP is paying for the entire cost of this facility.
Who else?
Okay, but who decided on what their salaries would be?
I've submitted proposed salaries, or I will submit proposed salaries to BP. BP has already been paying about 1,500 people in the Gulf.
We'll decide who should be continued and who shouldn't.
But on the issue of who's paying...
Okay, so that's the part that I actually kind of didn't really hear or overlooked, and I'm quite angry at myself because I would have made a bigger deal about it.
Shouldn't the government be overseeing this guy, and shouldn't the government be paying these people?
I mean, it doesn't make sense to have BP paying the people who are in charge of determining who's going to get paid by BP. Sounds like a conflict of interest.
So let's hear about who's in charge of them.
For the cost of this facility, it's obvious to me that the only responsible party to pay for this facility has to be BP. You can't ask claimants to pay and you can't ask the government to pay.
Well, can they tell you they disagree with the salary you've set?
I suppose they could say it.
I suppose so, but why would they?
Because they're going to...
Please.
Okay, and you mentioned one final thing.
You mentioned jurisdiction.
Who set your jurisdiction?
Listen to this.
I love this.
All of a sudden, the guy goes from stammering and stuttering to spitting out the line that he has rehearsed a hundred times in his head.
It's almost like me saying, the lawsuit between Mr.
Curry and MTV Networks has been settled out of court.
Neither party has any further comment.
This is something that he's rehearsed.
Listen to it.
The jurisdiction has been established by the government, ENBP... The government being us?
The administration.
Oh, the administration.
The administration, ENBP, together, chose, consensually, chose me...
And explained my jurisdiction to me orally.
Orally, yes.
And that is my current jurisdiction.
So there's nothing in writing?
There's nothing in writing.
Not that I've seen.
No, I've seen nothing in writing.
Well, it came out here.
Here it is.
Kenneth Feinberg and his law firm have been paid more than $2.5 million in three and a half months to administer the $20 billion fund.
Here it is.
The London-based oil company agreed to pay Feinberg Rosen LLP in Washington a fee of $850,000 a month, which started mid-June, running through October 1st.
And there's only 10 people working on this.
So every one of these jabronis who works for Ken Feinberg is making like $70,000 a month for pushing papers around.
And, quite frankly, I find it unbelievable that this big deal was made of, oh, BP's going to put up this fund, they're going to pay all this money, and then the guy who is in charge of paying out the money is paid by BP, and handsomely at that!
Well, the more they pay him, the less money he'll dole out.
Exactly.
So far, only $1.14 billion has been paid, and even that, of course, is...
you can't even check it.
Right.
So it just blew me away.
A, I'm upset that I didn't hear that in the first time around.
It's like, how can people...
You know, no one talks about this anymore.
It's like, oh, whatever.
It's all solved.
It's all taken care of.
Yeah, it's like the $8 million websites.
Yeah.
So shame on Kenneth Feinberg.
Shame on him.
For being such an obvious...
The American taxpayer...
Well, at least it's...
Well, we're just...
The American public, I should say, is just getting screwed left and right.
All right.
Good one.
What you got, Johnny Boy?
I mean, I got tons of stuff, but I'm sure you got tons of stuff.
Okay, well, I want to talk about something that's come up in the conversation on and off again, and I promised I was going to talk about this a little bit.
But there's a book, and I want to alert the book club.
Noagendabooks.com.
Noagendabooks.com.
The book is called Nullification.
And it is, I had the page up and I don't.
Go to Amazon.
Key.
Amazon.
Get to the point of the book.
We'll find the book, okay?
We'll find it.
The point of the book, you know how we've been hearing, when people talk about, let's see, the Tea Partiers, I'll ask you, I'll grill you.
Okay.
When Tea Partiers talk about the Constitution, the Constitution, the Constitution, the Constitution, what are they talking about?
About the Constitution, the Constitution, the Constitution.
What about it?
What's the big deal about the Constitution?
Do we have a Constitution?
And so what are we doing wrong that the Constitution has to be mentioned in every sentence?
I don't think half the Tea Parties know why.
So, okay.
It has to do with the Tenth Amendment.
Oh, about the states' rights, essentially.
It's actually when this book, which is called Nullification, How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century by Thomas Woods...
Who's done a number of other interesting books, but I think the book club should definitely have this available for people.
Discusses the fact that until, I don't know, Roosevelt, the states, it's not just a matter of states' rights, it's a matter of the Tenth Amendment, whereby whatever the federal government does in terms of rules and laws, and let's play a clip so we can kind of get into this, start with just a simple clip, the first nullification clip, rant one.
But this is left out of the discussion.
And while actions speak louder than words, I don't care what they said in 1798, 1799.
I don't care about some letter they wrote.
I care about what they did.
And when they were faced with a federal government they thought was out of control, they said, no, we're not going along.
The Frankenstein monster does not tell Dr.
Frankenstein what to do.
We are not going along.
And there is example after example of this, again, that I chronicle in the book.
This is history that has fallen down the Orwellian memory hole.
However, thanks to the Internet and all of you good folks who are determined to learn the truth, who don't want to learn some comic book version of American history, who are willing to concede that maybe they learned the wrong thing or an incomplete version of American history in fourth grade, You people happen to have very long, retractable arms.
You can reach down to that Orwellian memory hole and pull out parts of American history that we're supposed to forget.
We're not even supposed to know about them, much less discuss them.
Okay.
So, okay, so one of the things that we're discussing here is the concept that unless something is specifically written in the U.S. Constitution, any federal law that is written can be nullified by any state who wants to nullify it because it's not any federal law that is written can be nullified by any state who Because all those rights belong to the states.
And he goes on about the fact that we do have a federal system.
We do not have a national government that people keep ignoring the fact that it's not a national government.
It's a federal government.
The states have priority over the federal law.
And that's the reason, the only reason that alcohol was made illegal.
It took...
A constitutional amendment for prohibition to take place.
There's never been a constitutional amendment for the illegalization of marijuana, for example, California being a good example of semi-legalizing it.
Or any other drug for that matter.
It's the states that have that opportunity unless a constitutional amendment is passed and it's never been passed.
So the fact that the feds come into California and they start busting people for drugs when the Californians say that it's fine...
It's completely an abrogation of their responsibilities as a federal government.
This is what's going on and is being accepted.
Now, this guy in this book outlines this better than anyone I've ever seen.
This is really what they're talking about when they're talking about the Constitution.
And it is kind of about states' rights, but it's more to it than that.
It's about the system that we've created.
Play clip three.
Oh, I had clip two ready.
Sorry about that.
Sure you would.
Yeah, here we go.
Okay, I'm liking this, by the way.
Let me just, while I'm getting that ready, so when the Tea Party, I'm sure a lot of them don't understand, but the Constitution of the United States, essentially everything else can be overridden by the states.
And that's this guy's point, is if the feds come in to bust marijuana shops, of which there's no constitutional law against marijuana, then really the California National Guard should shoot them.
Absolutely.
Okay.
Look at South Carolina's Ordinance of Secession, December 20th, 1860.
Notice what they're complaining about.
Because we get a lot about, well, you know, this had something to do with the Civil War.
I don't know what they're talking about.
People have read like half a sentence.
And they say, well, it wasn't the Civil War all about this.
Well, yes, but in the complete opposite way from what people think.
What does South Carolina complain about in this Ordinance of Secession?
That the North is nullifying too many laws.
You talk about nullification today and people say, oh, that's some crazy confederate idea.
What are you, some kind of evil confederate who wants to enslave you?
I mean, again, this is the sort of Pravda propaganda we have to deal with here.
People won't even have an honest debate with you.
They just reduce it to this sort of Pravda kind of language.
But in fact, look at the reality.
The reality is the South is upset that the North is nullifying.
The North is nullifying the fugitive slave laws.
So this is not a southern doctrine.
This is not a northern doctrine.
It's an American one.
This was the point of the American Revolution.
To create a society that consisted of a collection of self-governing communities.
Not one single consolidated whole.
The world was lousy with those.
The world already had a million of those.
Where the government of France dictates to all of France, the world already had that.
You know, the United States was trying to be a little bit unique.
And we've thrown this legacy away completely.
I like this guy.
This is a Thomas E. Woods Jr.
Yeah.
Nullification, how to resist federal tyranny in the 21st century.
This guy is laying it down.
What a smackdown.
This is great.
Now, John, first of all, thank you very much.
This is what No Agenda is all about.
Exposing you to people who actually can tell you the truth and assassinate the stupid media and the bull crap that we've been living under.
And the same can be said for Obamacare.
Oh yeah, and almost anything the feds do.
If it's not in the Constitution specifically...
It's none of their business.
They need to butt out.
The states can and should have their own laws and regulations.
And if you don't like it, you can go move to a different state.
Well, he brings that possibility up, because one of the arguments against this, somebody apparently says stuff like, well, if one state nullifies this and that, another state nullifies other things, you have inconsistent laws, which is the way you have anyway, by the way, because all the states have their...
I mean, I can't take a right turn on a red light in New York.
I can take a right turn on a red light in California.
How is that any different?
Yeah, and you used to be able to drink in Connecticut when you were 18, and you went to the next state over across county lines.
It was 21.
Right.
And, of course, they're trying to...
The feds want to make it their law.
Well, we're going to make it Universal 21.
And so they do stuff like that.
But the fact of the matter is they can't do stuff like that.
Unless it's in the Constitution, they can't do this.
It's up to the states.
This is not a national government.
That's the key.
Play a clip four.
My answer to the idea that maybe the states, some states will do some things and some will do others, my answer is, so what?
That is the United States that the framers of the Constitution tried to give us.
A group of self-governing communities.
And yes, Vermont might be different from Texas, which is different from North Dakota, which is different from Maryland.
So what?
That's what differentiates it from every lousy regime that exists in the whole freaking world.
Can't we have some respite from centralized government somewhere?
Oh yes!
Praise the Lord!
I need some respite!
What is that?
In other words, the respite means a removal.
You know, like taking a vacation.
That's the word of the day.
Respite.
R-E-S-P-O-T? R-E-S-P-E-O-T? No, it's not respite.
It's respite.
S-P-I-T. R-E-S-P-I-T-E. Respite.
So anyway, so he goes on with this.
Suck it to me, suck it to me, suck it.
R-E-S-P-I-T-E. Yeah.
All right, let's go.
Might as well get this over with.
Let's go to clip five.
Second objection.
What about the supremacy clause of the Constitution?
Doesn't Article 6 talk about, doesn't Article 6 say, and as you hear endlessly in the media, when they even deign to discuss the subject, they'll say, well, federal law trumps state law.
Really?
I would give you an F if you thought that's what the Constitution says.
What does the Supremacy Clause actually say?
It says, and I'm paraphrasing, that the Constitution and laws in pursuance thereof shall be the supreme law of the land.
Well, nobody who supports state nullification denies that.
That's not the issue.
The issue is, is this particular law that we're confronted with, is this one in pursuance of the Constitution?
That's the issue.
Nobody denies that a constitutional law is indeed the supreme law of the land.
The question is, is this one constitutional?
So citing the Supremacy Clause simply begs the question.
It shows you don't even understand the nature of the debate we're having.
So, for example, imagine proposing the Constitution to the states.
And it had a clause in it that says, the Constitution shall be the supreme law of the land, plus whatever all laws, constitutional or not, we may choose to pass.
Who in his right mind would ratify a document like that?
No one understood it to mean that.
Of course it doesn't mean that.
The point is that unconstitutional laws are not the supreme law of the land, and that's precisely what we're saying.
And that's what's so beautiful, as we picked up on the law of the land meme months ago, where this is being shoved down our throats, where the president stands up and passes something and says, It's now the law of the land!
Slaves, this is the law of the land!
You've got to believe it!
This is what you're going to believe!
They have completely mind-controlled us into not understanding, indeed, John, what the Constitution is.
And that's why the Constitution keeps coming up in the debate.
He mentions one thing for an example that nobody wants to talk about anymore, which is the fact that the states still do have this power.
Most of them are too timid or worried about their federal funding to do anything with it.
But he did mention the fact that the federal ID program has completely been scrapped because most of the states actually say, screw you.
We have our own ID program in our state.
We don't want a federal one on top of it.
And so they just rejected it, and the Fed said, oops, okay, never mind, sorry we even brought it up.
So the possibility exists that you could do this more often.
But let's finish that clip.
Six?
That was the end of that clip?
Yeah, I got six and two, which we skipped.
Okay, well, six is a good one.
Another objection.
Oh, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Didn't the Civil War settle all this?
Okay.
Hold on.
Six is an interesting argument I want to save in case it comes up in the conversation.
You can play two and you get a little idea more about what was going on during the Civil War.
People are handing out flyers and handbills saying, look, we're going to have a giant rally here in Milwaukee standing up for the powers of our states to protect the innocent.
Against the incursions of a federal government that knows no constitutional limits.
The states standing up for poor blacks who had no one to stand up for them.
This is gone from our history.
Now, of course it's gone.
Of course, if you wanted to exercise absolute power, what version of U.S. history would you want to peddle?
Well, one in which, of course, the states are always evil, the federal government is always a progressive force, only a jerk or a would-be Hitler would want to stand up to the federal government.
Of course you'd want to pass off that version of history.
Unfortunately, it happens not to be true.
And it's long past time that we resurrected the real version, not the comic book version, of American history.
You know, so this is, and I will put a link in the show notes to this, it's available on Amazon.
I'm going to buy this on my iBooks right after the show.
I'm going to read this before Thursday's show.
Nullification, How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
This guy, finally, someone actually says it.
And says it correctly.
And the educational...
I wonder...
I'm sure we have parents who listen to this program.
Ask your kids what they're teaching them about the Constitution in school.
And I guarantee you, this ain't it.
He said it so eloquently.
He said the whole idea was, instead of having one big government like all the other Gitmo nation states around the world, which has always been the same over and over, the idea was to have a small collection of communities that...
Well, yeah, if you live in Tennessee, driving around with a shotgun in your gun rack and having a can of beer next to you is maybe more acceptable for that community.
Well, maybe not, but, you know, I'm not in Tennessee.
But I can understand where it might be.
And if you're in California and you want to smoke some dope, that's acceptable to us.
That's what we're okay with.
And the federal government has nothing to say about it.
Right.
Love that.
Wow.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
And that's what the Tea Party movement's actually about.
Sometimes they don't even know it.
And I'll tell you, the media definitely doesn't know it.
They don't know it.
They're all on board, all in, all pushed all the coins into the middle of the table for the idea of a national government that trumps state government when it's not in the Constitution.
And you even have people like Pat Buchanan, by the way, who's supposedly a right winger, who would love to scrap the Constitution.
He said so a million times.
He says we should have a new and him and a bunch of other guys.
We need a new we need a constitutional convention.
We need to get rid of this thing.
And the reason we've got to get rid of it is because of this basic nature.
Now, this is starting to boil up, by the way.
This is new.
I mean, this has been floating around a little bit in the background, but with this book and the Tea Party movement, this is going to start, if they do teach-ins and teach people about this...
Yeah, let's do a teach-in.
I love that.
I'm telling you, these big meetings should have people lecturing about this.
Beck should talk about it a little more.
Now, this guy does mention something.
I don't have the clip, but he said...
Oops.
I was waiting for that to happen.
Including Rush Limbaugh or any of these guys will discuss this at all.
And why is that?
Well, you tell me.
I think because they don't know.
No, I think it's because they're not on board with it.
Really?
You know, Eric just sent me a note.
He says, they aren't teaching the Constitution in school.
I learned about it from a poster that John and Mimi put in my bathroom.
And you know what?
At least you put a poster of the Constitution in your kid's bathroom.
At least they'll learn something.
Well, they're taking a crap.
I mean, that's the respect that the country has for this thing.
It's disgusting.
Was that your educational idea?
Hey, wait a minute.
If we put this in the kid's bathroom while he's taking a dump, maybe he'll read it.
I like that.
That's a good idea, John.
That kind of nullifies the fact you put your kids on a leash.
Yeah, you're never going to let that one go.
No way.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
This is phenomenal.
You win.
You win.
I can already tell you right now, you win.
You have opened up my mind into a whole new simple way of saying things.
And it seems like this is something that...
This should probably go into our primer, by the way.
People can use this and say, do you know what the Constitution actually says and how it works and how the United States is supposed to work?
And instead, they waste these kids' time learning about how many senators there are and how many people in the House of Representatives who was the 16th president.
Don't waste the kids' time with that.
Teach them this simple fact.
The United States was meant to be a collection of individual communities who had their own ideas, and we all kind of get along and we share some costs on some general stuff.
Yeah, like defense.
Yeah.
We don't want California having its own ICBMs.
Stuff like that.
But they do have the power of taxation, so they tax us and they build an army and they do the rest of it.
I mean, they have powers.
The Constitution is pretty clear.
It does a bunch of things.
It can do treaties and all the rest of it.
But it can't tell you, unless there's an amendment, that marijuana is illegal in California if California says it's legal.
And the fact that the feds are still cracking down and sending people in and nobody's complaining about it, or like you suggest, bring out the National Guard and tell these DEA guys to go to hell...
Until that happens, you know, this is going to continue.
And everyone's going to accept it.
Well, it's a federal law.
It's a federal law.
This is very subversive, by the way.
This book, Nullification, you should read it.
Everyone who's listening to this show should read this book.
It doesn't take much to figure out what's going on.
But it's a very interesting tome.
And it does bring up the fact that the school systems have been brainwashing the kids not to pay any attention.
They don't want to hear about this.
No.
Well, and I think Gitmo Nation Deutschland has the right idea, according to a recent poll by ARD, Deutschlandtrend.
94% of all Deutsches now believe that demonstrations are necessary before the government will listen to them.
And I think we've got to have teaching demonstrations, and maybe we've just got to go out there and really, really show our teeth.
I'll be driving the Saab up front.
With a flag!
Wood points out the fact that in Germany, before the rise of Hitler, it was a very similar federal system.
And the first thing Hitler did was eliminate the federal system because he didn't want all these little communities, Bavaria and the rest of them, to have their own ideas about anything.
Because you can't have a dictatorship, a virtual dictatorship, a real dictatorship, or any other sort of onerous system.
Without bloodshed!
Without slamming the door on this idea of a federal system.
You can't do it.
John, how beautiful is it that on 10-10-10 day we talk about the 10th Amendment?
Coincidence?
I think not!
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, you're good, man.
This is great.
And by the way, the 10th Amendment wasn't added just as a joke, which the Supreme Court, by the way, you have that, what's your name, cheeky...
No, actually, I think they were sitting around going, hey, man, I got a great joke.
Let's put this one in.
Let's see what happens in 200 years.
The current Supreme Court liberal members have all...
Sloughed off the Tenth Amendment.
It's old.
It's old-fashioned.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's not important.
It is the key ingredient.
And once Obama gets one more person in, the Tenth Amendment is going to be...
I'm surprised they just don't go to repeal it.
I mean, it seems to me.
Well, we have to fight that.
We have to fight that.
Well, luckily, this book, I think, which is a nice, small, easy-to-read book, is out, and it summarizes things better than anyone I've ever seen summarize it, and now it's like it's out.
There's a nullification movement in the country.
That's great.
Nullification.
I love it, John.
That's fantastic.
Great job on that.
You actually opened my eyes to something here.
You keep doing that.
Could you stop?
Once in a while, I do.
I know.
You did it the last two shows with the tax breaks for the rich.
This is great.
Oh, I have something for you here, John.
Shadow.
So amongst Rahm Emanuel leaving, which of course was the big news, oh Rahm's leaving, Rahm's leaving, and I encourage everyone to go to whitehouse.gov and watch the video.
It's very interesting how our president is like slapping Rahm.
In the face?
In the arm.
He's very arrogant.
He walks by, and slaps him on the arm and walks past him, kind of like he's pissed at him for some reason.
I can't really dissect that, but what's interesting is amidst all of this incredible news about Rahm Emanuel leaving, oh, like we didn't know that was going to happen, there was another shadow puppet theater swap that got almost no attention.
Let me play a little bit of the press conference.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Everybody.
Yeah, buddy.
When I took office, I pledged to do whatever was required to protect the American people and restore American leadership in the world.
And over the past 20 months...
Wait a minute, I thought you said you were going to fix the economy.
That's exactly what we've done.
During this time, I've relied...
Every day, on the advice and counsel of my National Security Advisor, General Jim Jones.
When I talked to Jim about taking this job shortly after the election, it was a difficult decision for him.
He had just retired from the military, had a wide range of family obligations, but because of his patriotism, his dedication to keeping America safe, we were able to agree that he would serve.
But he asked that he would serve for about two years.
Ah, bullcrap!
He didn't agree that at all, at all.
I'm thankful that both he and his wife, Diane, agreed to make...
That's sacrifice.
Additional sacrifice.
Sacrifice.
It's a sacrifice, I tell you.
Today, as we approach that two-year mark, I'm announcing that Jim has decided to step aside as National Security Advisor later this month, and that he will be succeeded by his very capable deputy, Tom Donilon.
Okay.
Deputy.
So this guy is no deputy.
This guy was retired.
Thomas E. Donilon.
D-O-N-I-L-O-N. The newest member of the Shadow Puppet Theater.
I would like to share with you a little bit about this guy.
He worked as an executive vice president for law and policy at Fannie Mae!
Fannie Mae!
The federally chartered mortgage finance company.
He worked as a registered lobbyist.
Hey, wait a minute.
That can't be.
No, that can't be.
That can't be.
Before his appointment, now, he was a partner in the Washington law firm...
Oh, Melveny and Myers, where he advised companies and their boards on a range of, quote, sensitive governance, policy, legal, and regulatory matters.
Spook.
Total spook!
Could you have a worse guy come in?
And, of course, it's NSA, so you expect the guy's going to be a spook.
But it's like, come on!
It's like, please, come on already!
I mean, so they're just washing everything.
Everyone's bailing, and now it's like, now they're just taking over.
And no coverage on this whatsoever.
I have not seen a single news article about this.
What would there be?
Because the National Security Advisors is an important job.
Why would the news media...
They bailed out on us, like, what, 20 years ago?
I mean, it's what's...
Yeah, it's true.
You're not really stunned.
You're just saying...
No, I'm not really stunned.
I am stunned!
Here's what the news media does.
Let me play a little clip of...
This is just so you can see how dumb the news media is.
Listen carefully.
Tell me if you hear the obvious error in this announcement from Fox News.
It is the scourge of the world right now.
Homicide bombers, suicide bombers, those who are willing to fly buildings into airplanes.
That's right.
I'm reading the teleprompter and it said I'm flying buildings into airplanes.
Let's listen to it one more time.
Those who are willing to fly buildings into airplanes.
I'm flying my building into an airplane.
That's what the news media brings you.
That's why they're called meat puppets.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, that's just great.
Actually, in Gitmo Nation East, the news media is even better.
This is, you know, we have tough names to pronounce sometimes.
We're going to get to that in a moment with our supporting donor segment.
But in the United Kingdom and Gitmo Nation East, so the guy is reading the teleprompter and it's an Indian government official.
Whose name you spell D-I-K-S-H-I-T. What?
Yes, and the guy actually...
Well, he's supposed to be Dixit, because that's how you pronounce an Indian name.
But listen to how the guy goes off on it, and then actually how he likes...
And remember, I believe I said that in a generalization, there's a lot of...
Racism in the United Kingdom.
I'm generalizing, okay?
But in London, yeah, I think I can generalize a lot more.
Listen to how this elitist dick shit, this guy, laughs about this person's name.
Anyway, so there's that, Jan.
Also, the dipshit woman...
God!
What's her name?
Dick Shit!
Is it Dick Shit?
Dixit.
Oh, Dixit.
Oh, Dixit.
Dixit.
It just looks different to what you say.
Well, it looks like Dick Shit.
I know it does, Paul, but it's not that.
It's Dixit.
There she is there.
Sheila dick shit.
Anyway, and it's so appropriate because she's Indian.
What?
Exactly!
What?
Oh yeah, because she's Indian.
Because she's Indian, it's appropriate, her name is Dick Shit?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Oh brother.
Oh yeah, that's your news media in Gitmo Nation East, that is on the BBC this morning.
Fuck!
You want to hear the most of it?
There's like 30 seconds left.
So she'd be Dickenshit, wouldn't she?
Do you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
It's Miss Dixit.
Oh, Dixit.
Well, that's what I said, isn't it?
No.
No, you did not.
It's just so funny.
Can we just have another look at the key?
It's just so funny, isn't she?
So, we asked Mrs.
Dickenshit what the condition of the apartments was like.
Well, they're a bit mucky.
Anyway, so that's a bit funny, isn't it?
No, it's not!
It is if you're in the fourth grade.
Yeah, exactly.
Not when you're on the BBC. What a douchebag.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, it's a total douchebag.
I'm telling you.
That's what your news media is doing.
And meanwhile, we just had the most outstanding conversation about the Tenth Amendment and how the United States was set up to be different.
Certainly from...
The kingdom.
And certainly from the EU, which is pulling a fast one on all those little countries that should be self...
You know, we don't want France to be other than France.
It's different.
Yeah, yeah.
Talking about using the word shit on the air, though, you've got to listen to this clip.
This was taken from CNBC World, and it's a descriptive thing.
Let's see, where is it on here?
X-Factor Buzz Term.
Play that.
Okay.
...reserves at a rapid pace over the last few months have got relatively few choices to where to put the money.
And the fact that China is showing clear support for Greece, China still needs to diversify, Europe's still one of the places that it's putting that money.
No matter who stupid you might consider that investment to make, that's where the money's going to.
Hang on, Simon.
What I liked about the Chinese statement was they're not saying we're going to just chuck $5 billion at the Greeks and say this is a little bit of a soother for you for your problems.
What they're saying is actually good, hard business.
Greek companies will have funds made available to buy Chinese shit.
this is one of those x factors that's been missing in the equation so far i.e if the greeks are going to get them out of this they need to do it by commerce they need to do it by exporting something by trading something that no one else is doing at a better price and shipping is chinese shit chinese shit i love that That kind of just flew right through, didn't it?
That's cool.
Yeah, nobody even batted an eye.
That's okay.
I mean, that's more like no agenda than anything.
I have a real problem at this very moment.
It is now 11.24.
Typically the show would be over by now, and I have not peed since 7 o'clock.
Do you mind if I just take a quick little break?
Well, I mean, if you want me to, I can start reading.
I'll tell you what, I'll play the national anthem.
It's 49 seconds, and you can start reading the thank yous, and I'll be back by then.
Okay?
It should work.
Yeah, go hit it.
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be human resources and service in all lands and all ships at sea. we are all charged up to be human resources and
From the east to west, down under to the lowlands and beyond, we are happy and distracted slaves.
Hear our Gitmo Nation song.
It's the morning!
Thank you.
There you go.
That's our new theme.
By the way, that'll be downloadable for people shortly, and I'll make a link somehow.
That's great.
We're going to mention some of the people that donated to the show.
As you know, the show is 100% listener-supported, and that means pretty much we don't take any advertisements from anyone.
We don't interrupt the show to advertise.
We do interrupt the show to thank the people who give us donations, generous donations.
Wow.
Secretariat has nothing on me.
You know, you got a bladder problem.
No, I haven't peed since 7 o'clock.
You're drinking too much water.
7 o'clock.
Are you kidding me?
Give me a break.
Normally I pee right after the show, but we started more than an hour late, so I'm sorry.
Philip Chin in Fredericksburg, Virginia starts it off at $149.
His name is...
Paul Chin from Virginia Beach.
So much for PayPal.
My donation is significant because I'm celebrating my wedding on 10-10-10 and giving $42 for each of us plus another $65 from the attached story.
That totals $149, which is a special prime number called the Chin Prime, which is my exact last name.
The wiki page calls it Chen, C-H-E-N, but with an E and the Chinese characters are identical.
I'm sending you a longer email with the Demon Drink Store about how I got the money for this.
Donation, which was the...
Some story, rather.
You see the one that got pulled over?
Yeah, he's the one that got pulled over.
That was in Virginia, not Arizona.
Jacob Smith, Tacoma, Washington.
That was the story we told earlier, by the way.
Jacob Smith, Tacoma, Washington.
I'd like to send out a karma shout-out to my best friends Dan and Dylan for awakening me with Ron Paul and no agenda.
Keep up the good work.
We're now mentioned in one breath with Ron Paul.
Could be worse.
I can't pronounce it.
Keep up the good work and don't forget to consume your required amount of fluoride in hot pockets.
Hey everybody!
He mentioned Ayn Rand, I just might as well say.
Tacoma, Washington, $110.10, 10, 10, 10, kind of.
John Smith, or Sir John Smith in Alpharetta, Georgia, $100.
He's a big James Smith fan, and he wants to be the John Smith.
He also wants to send a big YouTube watch out.
We're going to put a link in the show.
For his YouTube video, which is, I guess, condemning people for not donating.
Oh, okay.
Mikolaj Lechinski in Warsaw, who's actually someplace else, I believe.
His daughter, Zuzanna, was born on the 20th of September this year, and his name is pronounced Mikowai.
and i keep mispronouncing it but now it's miko why okay uh benjamin blondin uh brook park ohio of 84 which is 42 times two double karma a plug for at ben blondin on twitter for people looking for someone to follow b-e-n-b-o-l-n-d-i-n and 10 10 10 is his 25th birthday we'll get to that in a Bradley Serbo in Naples, Florida.
Donates $75, which is 1.58757329 grams of gold.
Which is at $13.45 as of Friday and rising.
Which means the donation will be continuing to go up.
Well, no, it won't because he turned it into cash.
Samuel Jones, Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Double nickels on the dime for a dedouching.
Mm-hmm.
Caught me off guard there.
Sorry, I was in a drink.
Oh, no!
I didn't mean to do that.
Oh, no!
You've been de-douched.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
That was horrible.
I mean, I have to give him another de-douching just to get that goop off of him.
You've been de-douched.
Yo.
Apparently got called out in episode 185 by Charles Ross.
Charlie's birthday was October 5th, and my wife Kristen's birthday is October 12th.
I want to mention Charlie, mine, and other blogs, sector930.com.
Sector930.
Thank you.
What's 930 refer to?
I have no idea.
Joseph Van Dorp.
Rockford, Michigan.
I'm sorry.
I've been listening ever since Adam showed up on Twit.
Well, that's interesting.
Oh, yeah.
You mean like someone actually comes to the show because of me?
That's interesting?
Wow.
This is an anomaly.
No, it's interesting that it would be Twit that triggered it.
It was a great appearance.
Why wouldn't they be listening?
Because I was on Twit.
Because you're...
I don't know.
I want to be on Twit again.
Do you think Leo's ever going to ask me back?
We'll discuss it later.
Your intelligent deconstruction of big media's not-so-hidden agenda is extremely refreshing.
I need some 10-10-10 super karma for my job as a web developer and achieving physical fitness.
So I hope this is out of shape.
Michael Schultz, Palm Beach, Florida, 5240.
He's a big anti-Sarbanes-Oxley guy, which is good.
And looking for VC money, looking for karma.
John reading this inside track that helped IT people stay informed.
What was that?
Was that from the 70s in a column you wrote?
It was from the 1920s.
Right.
Hey, John, do me a favor.
Will you just call me back because you're so on the verge of breaking up on Skype.
It's like it's just now it's becoming super annoying.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll hang up on you.
Okay, now that we're finally alone, we can play all these jingles.
Douchebag in the morning.
Hot pockets.
Turn down your speakers!
He's a jackass.
Coincidence?
Epic fail.
Okay, that should be enough.
Call back now.
Hey, how hard is it to hit the call button?
You there?
You there?
Yeah, I'm right here.
I hit the call button.
I was waiting for you.
Alright.
Okay.
Hey.
It's a little better.
Why don't you turn off the video?
Yeah.
Because I don't want you to see me.
If you have a camera, I'll leave the camera on.
Alright.
Do I sound a little better?
Yes, much better.
So that was Jordan Wyatt.
Because we've been on the air forever.
That's okay.
I did Van Dorp and then Michael Schultz along Sarbanes-Oxley thing, and he's going for a knighthood eventually.
He loves the show.
Happy 42.
Yes, happy 42 to you, Michael.
Matthew Perkins, Temple, Texas, Czech Republic.
What?
5230.
That's what it looks like.
That's my first donation.
I'm still a douche.
Was going with 42, but F it.
I wanted a mention.
So it's 4210 plus 1010.
I hope it's enough for a line and a blowjob.
Oh, how about a dedouching instead?
You've been dedouched.
The blowjobs are reserved for Staph and Pelsmockers.
Or Pelsmockers.
Jordan Wyatt, Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand.
Wow.
Please read in full, if not just the last URL. Just the plug.
He's a vegan.
He's a vegan.
He's a vegan guy.
That's why he wants all this chit-chat.
I'll do the chit-chat because it's funny.
Adam, your admission to the prestigious Green Beret PMC of No Agenda Vegans will be confirmed once you've been scanned for animal byproducts.
Veganism is not a diet but a lifestyle.
Next time you're at airport security, just ask for the super fast line involving a colonoscopy.
Not much different from what Americans typically suffer at airport security by your accounts.
Once confirmed, clear of animal byproducts and...
Ludovico Technique into future avoidance of animal byproducts, leather wool, eggs, milk, silk.
We'll be happy to send you a cheap green beret from eBay.
Yeah, we should have just done the URL. You're right.
Abolitionistapproach.com.
Now, the question on my mind, since when has silk?
You can't have silk.
It's a worm.
But it's just worm crap.
You can't have worm crap.
That is against the green beret of the no agenda vegan standards.
It doesn't really make any sense to me, to be honest about it.
Mike Serbin in Las Vegas.
I figure that I pay this amount, $50.01, to get Tom Hartman and Mike Malloy podcasts.
Well, that's interesting.
Might as well get the same amount to Crackpot and Buzzkill.
We're just a little to the right of Darth Vader.
Tom Hartman.
I don't know about that.
That's not true.
We're libertarians.
Sean Rice, Calgary, Alberta.
He calls out Jeremy Ash as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Donate 50 bucks.
Then we have our upcoming nights.
Robert Alter, Lisa Lang, and then we have, which is in the list here, Peter Richards has got a birthday coming up.
He wants karma.
Shout out to Jeff Smith.
Which we'll give him any time he wants.
Kevin Koliar in Wenatchee, Washington.
He wants to wish his beautiful wife, Margie Lou Collier.
We've got her on the list.
We've got her on the list.
And happy birthday.
And then Patrick Silva, another birthday call-out.
It's your birthday, birthday!
A new agenda!
All right.
Walter Sergier, who was executive producer today, happy birthday to him, 10-10-10.
Benjamin Blondin, also celebrating on 10-10-10.
Samuel Jones wishes his wife, Kristen, a very happy birthday.
Her birthday is on the 12th, and Charlie, whose birthday was on the 5th.
Peter Richards says, Happy birthday Jeff Smith, 10-10-10, it's his 35th birthday.
Kevin Colyar congratulates Margie Lou Colyar on her birthday on the 12th.
And Patrick Silva's wife says, Happy birthday to Patrick, whose birthday is tomorrow.
Happy birthday from all of your loved ones and your buddies here at No Agenda.
It's your birthday, yeah!
And can you give Patrick Silva a de-douching?
Of course we can.
You've been de-douched.
There you go.
So I think we should probably...
I think we should roll with it, Johnny Boy.
You have your sword there?
Yeah, hang on.
Yeah, we got it.
Zen Garden, Zachary Giesemann, and Borislav Marinov, step forward, please.
As you now are joining the elite ranks of those who will soon bear the ring once you stick your finger in the hole and send us the size.
Because of your support of the No Agenda show in excess of $1,000, we now knight thee.
Sir Zengarden, Sir Zachary Giesemann, and Sir Borislav Marinov, Knights of the Noah John Roundtable, please enjoy our hookers and blow, or our cabernet and rent boys, whatever your preference is.
And we should mention that Lawrence, Sir Lawrence Royk, who's already a knight, is now a double knight.
A double knight.
Double knighted.
There you go, Sir Lawrence.
Do you get another ring if you're a double knight?
No.
Hmm.
Well, maybe.
No, we'll have to come up with something else for the double nights.
Something special.
Yeah.
But we won't say what, otherwise I get hacked.
I have a feeling it's going to involve me and fellatio, and I'm not liking it already.
No, no.
I'm not liking where this is going.
No, you only got the Pelsmacher thing.
We're going to cut it off at that.
Pelsmacher for sure, though.
I'm in.
I'm in on Pelsmacher.
He's actually going to help us buy a new Mac.
Probably illegal in Belgium, so that gets off the hook.
I don't think so, man.
You look at all those elitist bastards there in Brussels.
That's probably all they do.
That's what they do in the EU. Yeah.
So this is one that kind of went...
A lot of people emailed this.
I thought it was quite funny.
You know how we always laugh at the town hall meetings that the president has and how nothing is left to chance.
Even the woman who says, I'm tired of defending you.
So a casting call went out for audience members for the town hall meeting that Obama is doing that is being hosted and broadcast by MTV, BET, and CMT. And so, here it is.
President Obama Town Hall in D.C., MTV BET and CMTS Country Music Television, who are the producers, are casting the audience for a town hall meeting with President Obama, shooting October 14th at 4 p.m.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop, stop.
You're confusing me here.
If it's a town hall meeting, you wouldn't cast people.
It's not like a movie.
No, we are.
It's a casting.
No, no, that's not possible.
Let me read the rest of the casting call so you know if you fit.
So this is shooting October 14th, 4 p.m.
in Washington, D.C. If you're available, we're seeking audience members, males and females, 18 plus, to apply email townhallaudience at mtvnmix.com and put townhall in the subject line to ensure that the audience represents diverse interests and political views include your name, phone number, hometown, school attending, and your job, and what issues, if any, hold on, more.
I gotta click on more.
There's more to this.
They're so casting, this is funny.
Oh, okay.
Then you have to subscribe to get the...
Oh!
This content is for subscribers only.
Log in or subscribe now.
Oh, I see.
So if you really want to cast, then you have to pay money.
$16.95 per month to see if you qualify.
Yeah, you can't even get in on the casting.
This is supposed to be a town hall meeting, not a rigged subscribers meeting.
Please, that's all that it is.
It's rigged.
We always laugh about central casting, and there it is.
There it is, right there.
In plain black and white, and even worse, you have to actually pay for it.
You have to pay.
You have to pay to meet Obama.
Why don't they just get carried away and say, pay to meet Obama.
Two hundred bucks, you can be in the town hall meeting.
So, speaking of paying, so we know that flu season has come early this year.
And we've got to get the public ready to take your combined shots now because we've got all this H1N1 vaccine floating around.
We're combining it now with the regular seasonal flu.
It's all in one nice little bundle of joy.
And there's something called Twitter Moms.
Are you familiar with Twitter Moms, John?
No.
Who essentially band together to blog and Twitter important issues that moms deal with.
So, this is a very interesting posting that comes from Twitter moms.
The title is, How are you protecting your family from the flu this season?
Spread the word, not the flu.
To help spread the word about flu prevention, we are looking for great bloggers to encourage their readers to protect themselves and their families from flu this season.
The Centers for Disease Control reminds us that the best way to protect yourself from the flu is, John?
To get the flu vaccine.
I thought it was washing your hands.
Please include this as the main point of your post.
In addition to this key message, include your ideas for protecting your family from the flu in your own words.
You know why?
Because they are getting paid to blog this.
Who's this?
What are we talking about?
Twitter moms.
Twitter moms.
And the link will be in the show notes.
So there's an offer here to the Twitter moms.
Just like Bounty would offer them to blog about Bounty so that other moms will use Bounty.
The CDC is paying the Twitter moms to blog about getting the flu shot.
Here it is.
To participate, we ask you to do the following.
Create an original blog post on your blog in 250 words or more about, quote, Please include a thoughtful introduction and conclusion in addition to the facts, the facts, and your detailed ideas for protecting your family.
We're trying to get the word out about protecting your family from the flu and reminding readers that flu vaccine is the best prevention.
We want to get across is the flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from the flu.
Here's a great resource, cdc.gov slash flu.
Now, per FTC guidelines, participants must include the following disclaimer as a footnote of their post.
Quote, I wrote this blog while participating in a Twitter mom's blogging program for which I may receive a small thank you valued at less than $20.
Shit, $20?
That's no good.
Lots of moms with Twitter for $20.
I think you should hold out for $100.
Come on, the CDC, they're loaded with money.
The blogging program starts on October 7th and submission window closes at 11.59pm on November 5th.
Full terms and conditions posted for your review at cdcflu.twittermoms.com.
This is the Centers for Disease Control paying bloggers and mommy bloggers to tweet about getting the vaccine.
Is that their job?
Is that their job?
And the CDC, maybe they don't have anybody that works there anymore that even knows about this, but generally speaking, you would write up a PSA, which is a certain form, and you'd send it out at like a press release to all the radio stations in the country, and that would be it.
It would be a public service announcement.
Across the top of the thing, it says public service announcement, and they would read these things routinely throughout the day on radio.
Please use the hashtag CDCFlu in order to get spread awareness to your followers.
This is psyops, is what this is.
It's bad.
It's very bad, and it totally discredits Twitter moms.
They have no status with me now.
So if anyone sees the hashtag CDC flu, immediately retweet, call these people out as shills and spooks.
Spook moms is what we're going to call them.
Spook moms.
Shill moms.
Ridiculous.
Hey, you need to get the flu shot.
It's so important to get the flu shot.
You know, we forgot to mention, did we mention noagenda?
No, we didn't.
No, we're stupid.
We're too busy trying to protect people from indoctrination instead of trying to raise money to buy a new Mac.
Yeah, to keep the show going.
Dvorak.org slash NA. By the way, tonight at midnight is the last, no more 10-10-10 nights after 12 midnight.
That's right.
Your money's no good with us.
Is that what you're saying?
It's just a regular night.
Your money's no good.
Well, maybe we'll stretch it in a few hours.
But whatever the case is, dvork.org slash any to give us a donation.
We appreciate it.
We need it.
So, okay.
Well, that was a good find.
I didn't know that.
It actually came from deep inside, and that's why it's anonymous.
And so this is what I love about our show.
And I'm looking at the chat room has never been this full.
The stream is at its max.
So this is good.
Although we are going to have to expand a little bit because I think we can have X thousand simultaneous streamers.
I'm going to up the bandwidth or whatever it is.
I'm looking into that.
But the stream has been staying up.
This is all good.
But what's great about it is we have ex-cops, ex-military people.
We've got people inside all of these organizations giving us really useful information that helps you dispel the crap that is being shoved down your throat, not just through television, but now through social media.
And all other forms of communication, and we just have to be wary.
And that's what we do here.
Support us.
You broke up completely.
Yeah, well, I was fine.
You broke up.
Yeah, I'm breaking up.
Dvorak.org slash NA or channeldvorak.com slash NA. Okay, so I'm watching Fox.
Wow.
Tough, tough, tough, tough times.
Recently happened with, apparently, Meg Whitman.
There's a bunch of stories about her.
She kind of fell apart with Jerry Brown in some...
Well, it wasn't that.
Jerry Brown called her a whore more recently.
Also, she apparently had some...
Did he say that?
He said, hey, whore?
No, it was one of his assistants.
Wait a minute.
He said, hey, Meg, you whore?
Apparently what happened was Brown was on the phone and then he forgot to hang it up or something and meanwhile I was recording the conversation and the guy says, you know, Meg Whitman's a whore, whatever.
But there was a thing earlier with some...
She used to have apparently an illegal alien working for her.
Oh, right, right, right.
So Gloria Allred got on the bandwagon.
She's like some sort of an activist.
But just listen to this little report here where...
Where this guy, Frank Luns, this guy who does a lot of these, you know, he does kind of focus groups.
Listen to the pronunciation of Gloria Allred by him and then by somebody else.
She's pronounced Allright, Alldredge, and then some woman finally tops it off by calling Meg Whitman Meg Ryan.
I mean, this is what passes for entertainment on Fox or analysis.
Play that clip.
If you blame Gloria Allwright for having done this, for turning this into politics, raise your hands.
More than half of you.
The proof that Jerry Brown was behind all of this?
I mean, everybody keeps pointing fingers at Jerry Brown, but it's...
Yeah, it could have been anybody.
It could have been Gloria Aldrin.
In Jeopardy's way, by fraudulently filling out paperwork, Meg Ryan's Meg Ryan did not...
It's ridiculous.
Meg Ryan!
That bitch!
I saw her when she was saving Private Ryan!
This is no good!
She can't run!
Meg Ryan can't run!
This is no good!
What an idiot!
Oh my goodness.
That's too funny.
That's too funny.
Oh man.
No wonder only people over 50 watch television anymore.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, no kidding.
So the marijuana thing in California is marching ahead.
I cannot get any real good data on whether it's going to pass or not.
You can talk to people and say, oh, it's not going to pass.
I understand nobody's going to vote for it.
So CNN did a piece on it on this show over the weekend called Right the Weekend or What the Week.
It's called What the Week.
WTF. WTW. What the Week.
What the week?
Anyway, this guy is kind of a character.
And this is the report.
I might as well just play it.
Legalized Pot on CNN is kind of as far as it gets.
In California, a vote comes up in November on Prop 19.
That would legalize, regulate, and tax marijuana under California law.
Not federal law, have you?
A poll out this week suggests most voters in that state are cool with legalizing pot, but support is slipping a little.
So, who would be hardest hit by Prop 19 being shot down?
Those who truly need it for medicinal purposes, and of course, the makers of snack foods.
Those for it, see this as a way to drum up tax revenue.
Others see pot as a gateway to hard...
Who wrote that?
The makers of snack foods.
The guy, for one thing, he says it's federal, not federal law, state law.
Like, it makes a difference.
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know anything about that part of it.
And then he just rambles on with just vague information that none of it accurate, very superficial.
So then he goes out on the street and gets people to say what some jargon terms for pot and play it.
Harder drugs.
I hit the streets to see what the buzz was on the planet.
Oh, funny!
He hit it for the buzz!
Oh, it's so funny!
And with many a name.
Briefer.
Gouda.
Herb.
Mary Jane, huh?
Mary Jane, sir?
Salad?
That's what my dad calls it.
Bud.
Bud.
Would you vote to legalize marijuana?
Probably not.
I would vote yes.
I would probably be against it.
A new study says it'll save $8.7 billion in law enforcement.
I just think it's silly how many people we have in prison because of that.
Everybody does it.
Might as well legalize everything.
Let these people do what they want to do.
You're going to do it anyway.
I mean, yeah, people are going to do what they want to do anyways.
That's just crazy.
Because people are smoking it, that's no excuse to continue to do wrong.
This, by the way, is a very effective way of getting people...
This is why I was talking about this at drop.io slash naprimer.
It's very effective.
When people see a whole sequence of people on the street, you are locked in.
You will watch because you're waiting.
Oh, I'm like that guy.
Oh, I'm not like that guy.
Oh, I agree with this guy.
You know what I'm saying?
This is a very effective thing.
Very, very effective.
I wanna...
It messes up your brain for two or three days.
I worked for the railroad.
Please don't smoke marijuana ever, sir, if you're driving the choo-choo.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It doesn't kill you.
It's not like cigarettes that give you cancer.
It's a leaf.
It grows out the ground.
It's a plant.
What does America look like if the whole country had legalized, regulated, taxed marijuana?
Again, I think it'd be better.
I don't think we need to legalize any intoxicant.
Our bodies are so marvelously made by the Creator that we don't need to create anything else into our bodies anyway.
God says that he gives every green-bearing seed to mankind, which means every green-bearing seed, every seed.
What else does God say?
Can you give me anything that God says that doesn't have to do with green-bearing seeds?
Yeah.
What's the Spanish word for marijuana?
Okay.
Yeah, that really helped, didn't it?
Didn't they bring you up to speed on the debate?
Yeah, it sure did.
Now I know exactly what to think.
Meg Whitman's a whore.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I got confused with the last great report.
Unbelievable.
Fantastic.
There's no honest discussion.
There's no...
I mean, they did bring out...
There's another piece to this.
You don't have to play it.
Where Huffington comes out just because she'll do anything to get on TV. And it's just laughable.
The whole thing is...
There's no...
It's just...
And nobody's advertising one way or the other for this proposition.
I'm wondering whether it's going to pass or not.
And then from our favorite company...
They are marketing a new gene, John.
Gene, John?
Gene, John, Jim.
An aluminium resistance gene.
Small-scale resource-poor farmers in developing countries face daily stress, including poor soils, drought, and lack of inputs.
Ongoing trends such as climate change and population growth would likely exacerbate blinding stresses.
A new generation of genetically engineered crop research aims to alleviate these pressures through the improvement of subsistence crops.
Such as cassava, sorghum, and millet, then incorporate traits such as soils as well as plants with more efficient nitrogen and phosphorus use, but mainly the fact that high levels of aluminum and barium are found in water, snow, and soil seems to be a big problem.
And Monsanto is now developing and soon going to market crops that have an aluminum-resistant gene.
Now, when I read aluminum and barium in the same sentence, John, there's only one thing I can think of.
And I have to say, it's kind of coincidental that Monsanto is developing crops that can handle these two things, the two chemicals that are most often associated with contrails.
Seriously.
I was wondering where you were going with this one.
Yeah, well, there it is.
There it is.
It's funny, you know, they're not flying in California anymore.
There's no contrails, so I guess there's no airplanes.
No, it's the time of year.
There's not enough moisture in the upper atmosphere.
It's totally full of shit.
And that's the reason.
You were so wrong about that.
That is so not true.
It's the time of year, please.
It's the time of year.
You said the same thing.
In fact, you did.
You probably said the exact same thing last year.
It's baffled.
I haven't had contrails in the sky for weeks.
It's just that they've stopped chemtrailing us, that's all.
So, Eric pointed out that we missed a night.
Oh, no.
Yeah, Wouter.
No!
And it's his birthday today, too.
No, I did his birthday.
We didn't do his night.
Remember, we mentioned the 333.34, so we wouldn't put in the penny.
Well, this is stupid.
Walter said, yay!
Come on over here, man.
Let me just grab my sword here.
I'm so sorry.
Due to your fantastic support of the No Agenda program, and you have been supporting for quite a while, we hereby proudly knight thee, Sir Wouter, knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Also, hookers and blow for you, my friend.
I'm so sorry we missed you.
We'll give you an...
Extra little dent there just to make up for it.
He got a stand-alone, which is better.
So anyway, okay.
Anyway.
Just want to make sure he got that out of the way because he wanted to be nighted on 10-10 Day.
There you go.
So we've taken care of that.
It's still 10-10 Day.
We haven't gotten to midnight yet, but it could have happened.
And John, no matter what, all of our problems are really over.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, all our problems are over.
Because Michelle Obama is the most powerful woman in the universe.
She is?
Yes.
Maybe she can donate.
Fortune magazine crowned her the most powerful woman.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Better than Oprah?
Yep, better than Oprah and Lady Gaga.
Although I hear it was a close, close call.
Better than Oprah, she is the most powerful woman.
They call her Eleanor Roosevelt with a Harvard education.
Which is pretty fucking insulting.
Miss Obama, known in equal measure for her fashion sense, well-toned arms, and a love for family-centered causes, shot 40 places up on this year's Forbes magazine list of powerful women, replacing German leader Angela Merkel at the time.
This is Forbes, not Fortune.
I'm sorry, Forbes.
For a woman who has spent only two years in the White House, the rise has been meteoric.
How does she move up like that?
Who determines this list?
Oh, wait, let me guess.
Douchebags.
You sit around...
By the way, I've said this before.
I tell this story all the time because I used to be an editor.
You've got, oh my god, we've got to do our top 20 list.
Hey, get everybody, staff meeting, let's sit around here, and then you get the five editors and say, what do you think?
Well, I think she should be number two.
No, no, no, she should be number three.
I think number two should be so-and-so.
No, let's make her number five.
And then you sit around while eating, it takes about an hour, and you have this bogus list, and then you put it out there and everybody reads it, and then they bitch.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But the reason why is they got the president to come to their Forbes announcement, and he's got Forbes all in the background there.
Oh, that's the quid pro quo.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, listen, we'll make Michelle the most powerful woman in the universe if you come and talk about it.
So we can, what can we do?
Oh, yeah, sell magazines.
Right.
I forgot about that.
I have a shout-out to the makers of the Stuxnet virus, who I'm now convinced this is a great meme machine, and I'm a little upset, but the makers of the Stuxnet have been improving this worm.
So people keep coming up with all these memes.
It's like we have the dead foot.
We've got the dissident who was killed.
And now we have the word Myrtus, M-Y-R-T-U-S, appears in the worm, in the code.
An artifact the compiler left, possibly by accident.
That, of course, is the Myrtle plant.
Of course, that doesn't mean that Druids wrote Stuxnet.
But according to the story, it refers to Queen Esther.
Also known as Hadassah, she saved the Persian Jews from genocide in the 4th century BC. Hadassah means myrtle in Hebrew.
There you go!
The memes just keep on coming.
It all makes sense.
So what you need to do in the next version of the Stuxnet is put a little in the morning in there.
Okay?
Just a little in the morning.
It would be 1 and 7...
Get the binary.
Yeah, do binary, whatever it is.
Just put it in the morning in there, please.
And by the way, June 24, 2012, when this thing is supposed to expire, that is a Sunday.
So that's good.
We can have a special show.
We can have a Stuxnet show.
But it's just, it's so, and now, and by the way, a lot of smart people are emailing us, oh, you know, this must have taken 12 guys, it cost a lot of money to make this thing.
Yeah, I'm sure it did.
How come no one's bitching at Microsoft for allowing this to propagate on their systems?
You don't read anything about that.
No.
That's the problem.
It's a worm that's running on Microsoft stuff.
Get it already.
Stomp it.
So did we play this clip last week, the reality cop show with Guess Who?
I don't think so, no.
Well, here's a reality cop show with Guess Who.
I just saw it the other day.
With Guess Who?
I know who it is.
I know who it is.
All right.
Oh, it's me.
Oh, it's me.
I make a living in the movies, but for the past 20 years, I've also been a cop.
And along with some of the finest deputies on the force, I serve the people of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
My name is Steven Seagal.
That's right.
Steven Seagal, Deputy Sheriff.
You haven't seen this show?
This show has been on for a while.
I guess it's been on for a year and I missed it.
Yeah, oh yeah.
And he's a deputy sheriff and he goes and he kicks some ass.
He's Steven Seagal, damn it.
He'll kick your ass.
Yeah, Steven Seagal kicking some ass.
I know.
So I came, I found a new, you know, we always do the drug, we like to do drug commercials on this show to show how ludicrous they are.
They've moved up, although this is kind of an amateurish commercial, they've decided to, somebody came up with this idea, said, you know, the drugs, they sell like 10x more than they would normally with these commercials.
What about procedures?
Yeah.
Oh, yes!
That's the next step, because all of our drugs have run out of their patents, so we might as well start selling procedures.
What procedure do you have for me, John?
Balloon sinoplasty.
What is sinoplasty?
Is it like a balloon up my nose?
Yep.
Cool.
Let's listen to it.
The pain, the swelling, the unbearable pressure you feel?
Admit it.
Your sinus pain has become so intense, you just don't want to take it anymore.
So don't take it.
There's a minimally invasive way for your doctor to open your sinuses now.
By gently inflating a tiny balloon, doctors open swollen, inflamed sinuses.
And it really works.
I can breathe.
I would hesitate for a minute to recommend it.
Talk to a doctor trained in balloon sinuplasty.
Balloon sinuplasty technology is intended for use by or by the direction of a doctor.
There are associated risks, including tissue and mucosal trauma, infection, or possible optic injury.
Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits, and to determine whether balloon sinuplasty is right for you.
Don't wait another day.
Go to help.
Now it's just about first.
Ah, stick a balloon up your nose.
They blind you, but so what?
Stick a balloon up your nose.
That's great.
Awesome.
This is a trend.
Oh, yeah.
And I missed the clinically proven bit, but I guess that's coming soon.
We'll have some penile implants.
Hey, Billy Boy has done something good.
Former President Bill Clinton has now just kind of covered up.
Wait, wait.
He's done his books?
Is that what you're saying?
From the Clinton Foundation?
No, no.
Oh, no.
We're still waiting for his 2009 books from the Clinton Foundation.
No, he has not done that yet.
No.
Of course not.
Remember, raising almost a quarter of a billion dollars a year for the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, salaries in excess now of, at least in the 2008 numbers, $60 million a year.
And, you know, there's a lot of heat on the guy about no money going to Haiti, so what does he do?
He donates $500,000 to Sean Penn's Haiti charity, the JP Haitian Relief Organization.
The shut-up Sean Penn.
The shut-up Sean Penn, yeah, and here it is.
Rebuild and housing for more than one million people displaced by the earthquake will take time as teams on the ground continue to clear rubble and build infrastructure, including water and sanitation systems.
In the interim, our commitment to the...
Petyanville Camp, managed by JPHRO, will ensure that 55,000 people living there, including many children, can access health care, education, and job training services until families are able to move into more permanent homes.
How about a tent?
And then Sean Penn tells People Magazine, the support of President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation is an extraordinary boost in our organization's ability to continue its work in Haiti.
From the beginning, the Clinton Foundation staff and leadership gave generously and shared expertise and essential logistical support.
He had to say that as part of the deal.
Yeah, of course, otherwise he didn't get the money.
I'm sure if Sean Penn really wanted to say what he wanted to say, he'd say, where's the rest of this money these cheap bastards have stolen?
Yeah, so there is a report about the rest of the money, which is in the Dallas News.
You always kind of got to hunt around.
There's one million Haitians in 1,300 squalid camps.
What does squalid mean?
It means it's a shithole, literally.
Okay, thank you.
The word of the day is squalid.
Squalid.
A refugee advocacy group said Thursday more than 70% of camps in Haiti, home to an estimated 1.3 million earthquake victims, lack proper international management nearly nine months after the disaster, leaving them at increased risk of sexual and gang violence, hunger, and forced eviction.
Hey, that's going to be great, that $500,000, and you stole the other billions!
How does everyone feel?
How do you feel now that when you hear this, when you have to learn the word squalid and you texted your $10 to Bill Clinton directly, that money went directly into his foundation.
And we've, we've, it's like unbelievable.
Play the Bush clip.
Here it is.
Here it is.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
That was Bush and Clinton together.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah.
Squalid.
Does it actually mean shit?
It doesn't mean shit per se, but it means a shithole in the common parlance.
I'm looking up the word here in the dictionary.
This is so bothersome.
Unkempt, unsanitary, those words will crop up.
Yeah, but it's so bothersome that it doesn't really bother you.
Well, it does, because it's like everyone was on board, all of Hollywood.
Hey, George Clooney.
George, would you mind explaining this, please?
This is what I'm talking about.
Squalid.
We spotted it from the get-go.
Squalid.
Extremely dirty and unpleasant.
Especially as a result of poverty or neglect.
Neglect the operative word.
Yeah.
Big neglect.
But the whole world chipped in.
Everyone, oh, and we all had to sing, and we all had a little song.
And we all got our little moment of fame there, and we sat there in the telephone booth with fake phone ringing sounds, and we answered calls, and we talked to everybody.
Oh, it's so horrible.
We're going to help the Haitian people.
Where are you now?
Where are you now, I say?
I've seen Curry's pretty holiday.
What, are you queuing your own material?
Oh yeah, I am now.
Yeah, I guess so.
How about the Twitter moms?
Twitter moms, why don't you get on this?
Instead of shilling for the CDC and the pharmaceutical, why don't you start twittering about some real help for Haiti?
Twitter moms?
The Twitter moms are a front, obviously.
Government front.
We haven't talked about this thing in Hungary either, actually.
What?
Oh, the iron oxide?
Yeah, the squalid stuff that's flowing into the Danube River?
Well, the thing is, you know, about this, it's funny because the way they describe it on the mainstream media is as a...
What do they call it?
Sludge?
Or they call it something?
I forgot.
They call it red toxic sludge.
Red toxic sludge.
Okay, well, I don't know how toxic...
I mean, it is toxic in terms of you don't want your whole neighborhood, you don't want your ground soaking in this crap.
It's essentially iron oxide, which is also known as rust.
So this was rust, I guess, as part of some industrial process that was kept in some reservoir.
It's rust water, essentially, water that has been inundated with iron oxide, and I guess there's a ton of it in there.
And so it's red and gooey.
But it's not like cholera or bacterial or dog shit or sewage.
Dog shit.
It's iron oxide, which is like, yeah, you don't want to be...
I don't know.
Is it toxic or not?
It's not the same as the way they're describing it is what I'm saying.
To describe it as something, you know, toxic sludge is one thing, and, you know, iron oxide in suspension, which apparently is what this is, I don't know, for sure, I haven't been there, is something different, because, you know, there's one, oh, it's corrosive, if it gets on you, you'll drop dead, and they had some woman on one of the shows, and she was up to her neck in this stuff, old lady, she's like an old Hungarian woman, a babushka, and she, what, isn't dead?
She's not dead yet.
She's not dead yet.
Around 150 people were injured by the spill of up to 700,000 cubic meters of red toxic sludge, many receiving burns.
Well, I'm not sure where that comes from, where the burns come from.
The iron oxide, as far as I know, doesn't burn you.
How can you be so sure about the composition?
Well, I'm not sure about what it is.
That's what I said.
I haven't seen it, but this is what they do.
When it first happened, that's the way they described it.
They said it was an industrial byproduct consisting of iron oxide.
Well, perhaps we need to go and rescue Hungary.
Maybe we need to send some U.N. troops in there to go and do something.
I mean, there's got to be a reason for this.
If it's not all that toxic and they're playing it up, then there's clear...
There has to be a reason.
Well, let's see.
Iron oxygen, how corrosive is this is what we want to know.
Emergency crews have been working to dilute the alkaline content of the spill.
Okay, that could be...
That would be different.
Adding huge quantities of gypsum and chemical fertilizers to the waters of the Marcol and Rabah rivers.
And it says here, chemical breakdown of the sludge, 45% is iron oxide.
10% is aluminum oxide.
5% is silicon dioxide.
5% is calcium oxide.
And like 3% is titanium dioxide.
And then a little bit is oxygen bonded sodium oxide.
Sodium oxide.
That's a byproduct of the aluminum process.
A lot of aluminum stuff going on around here.
We got aluminum everywhere.
Yeah.
I don't know, maybe the sodium...
So most of it is indeed iron oxide, which is rust, but then aluminum oxide...
Aluminum is just not good for humans.
Aluminum oxide is the same as that white powder that you get on the outside of aluminum.
That's aluminum.
It's aluminum rust.
Right, but you don't go licking it.
It wouldn't kill you.
All right.
And the titanium, I'm not sure if that's corrosive.
I don't know where the corrosive angle is in here.
Unless it's in a suspension, I mean, they would have said something about sodium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide or something that is basic and corrosive that they would need to put gypsum in.
I mean, you could dump vinegar in there or it should do the job.
I don't know.
It's just mysterious.
They need to bring a chemist on one of these shows and tell us what the heck's going on because these news reporters don't ask the right questions.
This has always been the problem with today's modern news reporting, by the way, is taught in schools and you're taught to be a neutral observer to the point where you have no expertise whatsoever in anything.
And so you go out and you ask general questions.
You never ask the right questions because you're not in that business, like in the olden days where people who reported on the steel industry worked in the steel industry and knew what to ask.
Nowadays, you just ask, you know, these crazy general questions and then you write stuff down.
It's red toxic sludge, I tell you!
Basically.
Red toxic sludge, it's toxic, it's red, it's sludge!
It makes for good pictures!
And yeah, if you took and drank a cup of it, you'd probably drop dead.
Don't drink the red toxic sludge, man!
So only a week ago, we had this huge alert go out, of course, to vilify and to denigrate Pakistan, which is part of the program, which we have been talking about here for quite a while.
Now in the Communist Guardian...
Barack Obama accused of exaggerating terror threat for political gain.
But no shit.
Huh.
And of course, this is already off the radar.
We're not even talking about this anymore.
The U.S. terror alert issued this week, or last week actually, about Al-Qaeda plots to attack targets in Western Europe was politically motivated, not based on credible new information, according to senior Pakistani diplomats.
They're getting pissed off now.
Now the Pakistanis are getting angry.
Because they're onto it.
They know what's happening.
And actually, we received a very thoughtful analysis from Eric from Portland, one of our producers.
And he also notes, and we know so little about Pakistan, it's almost not funny.
But Musharraf launched a new political party on October 1st.
Now, October 12th?
1999, what happened then?
Musharraf came to power through a political coup after creating a political party.
What is probably going to happen, and I think that Eric from Portland's analysis is right on, that what's happened now is, basically it's a war between China and the United States, who controls Pakistan.
Okay?
Because China wants...
It's very important for China to have Pakistan geopolitically for the transport of minerals and oil, etc.
Just go look at Google Earth and you'll understand.
It lies right in a very important spot.
It makes more sense for them than us.
Right.
But we want to control everything.
And we want to be the boss of everybody.
And certainly over the Chinese because they're moving in everywhere and they're grabbing all of everything.
So...
We're basically setting the stage for a military coup, and I believe, now you know I'm big on weather modification, and you cannot deny that this has been discussed in our very own government about the fact that these machines exist to modify weather.
So a third of Pakistan is underwater.
That, of course, gives us the go-ahead to have relief helicopters fly in.
Yeah.
And whatever drones we've got flying around.
So I think that what will happen is, you know, Musharraf is a spook.
He's a CIA operative.
There's going to be another coup.
They're going to kick out whoever the current military guy is.
And all of this, of course, is being communicated through Agent Woodward's book.
Which is highly critical of Pakistan, to create some cover, some backstory, which is probably not true either.
And we're going to go and grab the Northwest Territories.
Yeah.
So look for a coup.
Look for a coup.
Musharraf.
How coincidental that he has a new political party.
I think we should do a coincidence?
I think not!
I think we should have a pool.
The coup pool.
Yeah, the coup pool.
The coup pool.
Write that one in your book.
The coup pool, everybody.
So, you know, I think you'll find out the timeline from the last time he formed a party and when he took over.
I'll bet you it's going to follow the exact same pattern.
That's my prediction.
Same playbook, 1999 all over again.
Yeah, it'd be the same playbook, because these guys, why would you change it?
It worked before.
It worked, it worked before.
The stupid slaves, you know, whatever.
So you do the same exact playbook that you did then, and then you take over, and then of course you're back in the, you know, the U.S. is back in control, which is, you know, with a dictator, which is what we like the best.
And then, you know, I don't know what's going to happen after that.
We love them.
Economic hitmen, roll them in, everything's groovy.
So I have some possible end-of-show clips that might be kind of fun to listen to.
Actually, there's two.
One which you posted at Dvorak.org slash blog, which has been going around, although it's kind of better in video.
It's the two 9-11 responders, the firefighters, who are talking about three different explosions.
Yeah, that was a good one.
Yeah, maybe you should just go to the blog to see that one.
But I like the Mike Maloney explaining the dead cat bounce.
And he's basically talking to a bunch of bankers, and they keep trying to shut him up, like, you have four more minutes, four more minutes, shut up, four more minutes.
When was this done?
This was done recently at some conference.
I'm going to say in...
It felt like it...
it well let me see if i can find it here of course i can't find it that quickly Uh Um...
But he really goes into, you know, it's very simple stuff.
It's some technical analysis of the head and shoulders and the double dipping, all the stuff that means that, and also the fact that typically a new currency comes around every 30 or 40 years.
We're now at year 39 of the dollar, if you kind of take the 70s into account when we move to the oil, the petrodollar, and that there's going to be a new world currency and it probably won't be the dollar.
Is that what he says?
Yeah.
Do you want to do that as an end-of-show clip or not that interesting?
No, I mean, I might as well play it.
I'd like to hear it.
I mean, I'm not a subscriber to the disappearance of the dollar as the main currency because I don't think back in the day when these currencies were being flip-flopped around that we had an economic hitman scenario and a system run by people that aren't going to put up with these changes.
Okay.
But we'll roll it anyway.
It's like four minutes.
It's kind of fun to listen to.
And so what we didn't get to today, but I really don't know what to say about it other than, duh, is this kid whose car was bugged with a GPS tracking device and the feds came to ask for it back.
Yeah, he finds this.
This was on the blog, too.
You can find it on there.
Yeah, it's everywhere.
It's everywhere.
Look up FBI. Anyway, apparently the FBI put some...
The guy was an Arab.
And so they put a track...
No, no, no.
He was an Arab.
He was an ARAB, and they put this huge tracking device in his car, which apparently he found.
A giant stick.
It's huge, with a big battery pack.
So he took it out, and he was thinking of putting on another car or throwing it in a river.
I mean, there's a lot of possibilities here.
And meanwhile, so he takes it out, so they come...
Hey man, we want our shovel back.
And he's going to be in a lot of trouble if he doesn't give it back.
Yeah, we're going to make your life miserable, slave.
Shut up and give us our tracking device.
And literally from BI Corporation.
Yeah.
Literally.
And I think it would have been what I would do, by the way, if I found one of these.
I know they're going to come back looking for it.
I mean, if you don't want to put it on a dog...
Which would be funny.
You can open them up.
Just open the thing up and then squirt in a little hydrochloric acid or dog shit or something into the thing.
Pack it in there.
And then close it back up.
You've said dog shit twice on this show.
It's dog shit day.
It's dog shit day.
I like the idea of putting it on an animal.
I think that's kind of funny.
Yeah.
But it's kind of abhorrent that this is happening.
This is like the guy's in A-Rab.
Hey, let's track him!
Throw something on his car.
The Saab went for a smog check.
Maybe I should check underneath and see what I've got on it now.
Yeah, make sure they always ask you.
When you go in for a check, make sure there's no tracking devices on your car.
Excuse me, did you put a tracking device in my car?
I'd have to answer truthfully.
Would you just sign this affidavit that you didn't put a tracking device on my car?
Anyway, so funny, but yet not so funny, because this is now standard fare, and it's not like everyone's outraged.
Everyone's like, oh, that's so funny, they came and asked for it back.
How about the outrage of this happening in the first place?
And then just two quick stories from out there.
Lovely to see on dvorak.org slash blog, something that I've been talking about for as long as this program has been on the internets.
It's photoshopped NASA images covering up obvious bases and other life forms that are out there.
You can go ahead and read it.
It's in the show notes, noagendershow.com.
This is of Saturn's moons, and they've photoshopped it to hide stuff.
I mean, all the moon pictures, this is nothing new.
It's like, oh...
Okay, now that you brought it up, you brought up the aliens thing, we know that this is a moment of, well, we have a disagreement on this.
So the 13th of October is when, well, they're already showing themselves worldwide.
Oh, really?
Yes, and someone very close to you.
Oh, wait, hold on, there's one across the street.
Excuse me, John.
Hey, buddy.
I promise not to reveal the identity.
But one of your family members has actually seen a UFO in the past week.
And that family member emailed me about it.
I know the story.
They saw, yeah, an unidentified object in the sky, probably a remote-controlled plane or something.
This person, who shall go unnamed, said, I saw a UFO. Don't tell John.
Yeah, well, she told me.
Oh, well, then why did she make it such a big secret?
She couldn't hold it, because I was moaning and groaning about something.
I guess she couldn't maintain her cool, and she had to tell me.
So, anyway, whatever the case is, the 13th...
They're supposed to show up everywhere.
And so what's Thursday?
Thursday's what day?
14th, I think.
So it's Wednesday.
On Thursday, we can talk about all the pictures.
So on Thursday the 14th, we can talk about how it never happened.
Okay.
And if that doesn't happen, then mark down November 9th on your calendar.
I don't know.
That is when the Large Hadron Collider goes full speed.
I thought it's already gone full speed.
Oh, no, no, no.
They've been lying about that.
I have an article here that literally says they've been lying about it.
The 9th of November is when they crank that puppy up to full speed.
And good riddance to y'all.
So what you're saying is November 11th, we probably won't be doing a show.
November 9th.
No, November 11th there will be no show.
Because we'll all be obliviated.
We'll be blown to bits, exactly.
Anyway, I look forward to speaking with all of you and comparing notes on the ships that appear.
And please also feel free, of those of you who have already purchased a ticket for the mothership, go to noagendamothership.com.
You can see what the logo will look like, beautiful 3D rendering of your boarding pass.
So those are forthcoming, those of you who are on the lucky 33-33 month boarding pass support system for us, for the show.
And as you know, John is staying behind, apparently with Mimi now.
She is not going along.
So I guess you've subjugated her into believing your message that it's all bullcrap.
No, she wasn't buying my message.
It's just us here in the universe, John.
It's just us.
I don't...
It's just us, no one else.
Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California, where I wish I still smoked weed.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it is 10-10-10 day.
A reminder to all those out there that so far this month it's been nothing but weird things happening, which is typical.
