Time Text
Congresswoman Bono has her breasts exposed in a photo?
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, January 9th, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 268.
This is No Agenda.
Celebrating National Slavery Month here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, and get my nation west in the People's Republic of Southern California in the morning.
I am the former Soviet spy known as Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's more than cold, it's chilly.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
This is Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
In the morning to you, John.
In the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships at sea, and all the boots on the ground!
And foots in the ocean, wings in the skies, astronauts manning the moon and Mars base stations, hams on the air, and human resources everywhere.
And of course, everybody in the chatroom at NoAgendaChat.net all charged up and ready to go the way your government loves you.
And before we start, John, big thanks to the Human Resources who have been totally rocking it the past couple days.
We've got the new stream up.
I think it's even connected now to the Pocket No Agenda app.
We've got a brand new web chat interface.
Mibit is gone now, so now we have some cool thing that really works well and has the streaming stuff right in it.
It's at noagendachat.net, and it's great.
Everyone's been working really hard.
And where were you, by the way?
I was in Chile.
I lost the wages.
We were working, man.
Gitmo Nation chapstick.
Yeah.
When did you get back?
You need a lot of chapstick down there.
Yeah.
When did you get back?
I got back yesterday.
Late yesterday.
Staggered home and the house was freezing.
We had people in the chat room trying to hook you up with a hooker because they felt so bad that you couldn't find any.
You know, it was weird.
I mean, I didn't even see him in the hotel.
What?!
Well, you know, some hotels, apparently, I don't know what the new rules are, because I don't go to Vegas as much as I used to, but, you know, they used to be, in the olden days, there used to be hookers all over town.
They used to be wandering around.
But the high-expensive hookers were available.
You could find them if you had nothing but money.
Like at Caesars Palace, you'd see them.
They'd be all over there.
I didn't see any.
There's none there recently.
And the last time I looked, which was like three or four years ago, there was a bunch of hookers roaming around the MGM Grand Casino.
And...
I didn't see anybody.
Were they wearing badges or, hi, my name's Debbie, I'm a hooker?
How did you know that they were hookers?
Yeah, exactly.
They actually have this little badge, and it said, well, it wasn't Debbie.
It was Raven.
Oh!
And, hi, I'm Raven, I'm a hooker.
Yes.
But anyway, the one thing that was going on regarding this sort of thing, and by the way, I'm a happily married man, I don't need hookers, but I like to chat with them.
You know, when I lived in Amsterdam, I grew up in Amsterdam, and it was the most normal thing of, normal course back in the day, by the way, when they were Dutch, and you'd walk home, and you'd walk through the alleyway, and there'd be...
Hookers.
Allie and Sean, and Sean, that's S-J-A-A-N, not Sean as in Sean, John.
And you'd say hi, and you'd chat for a second, you'd keep on walking, and everyone knew each other.
It was like saying hi to your butcher.
So the one thing they are doing, they have these little cards.
I collected a few of them because I think they'll be a nice post.
But these Mexican kids are hanging out all over the place, and they're handing out these cards that say, call Jesse for a good time with her phone number, and sometimes the price is on the card.
Yeah, right.
$44, $50, $120.
That's all?
No, there were some $75 deals.
Special.
Special for sure.
Early bird special.
Anyway, there's all these cards going around and there's pictures of these girls.
Oh.
Oh, hold on.
They're business cards now.
They're business card size things.
They're not big giant cards.
Right.
And on one side there's one girl and you flip the business card over.
It's a full color photo and there's another girl on the other side of the card.
I think these are collectible.
Oh, yes, of course they are.
And you've collected them all for the set.
No, I didn't collect as many as I'd like to, but I can imagine making a wall hanging.
Those are in Gitmo Nation East in London, where they used to have telephones in the phone box, the well-known British icon of the red box.
That's pretty much where you find the business cards now.
There's no phone in there.
It's just a place to go pick up.
Just girls' cards.
Yeah, hooker cards.
Not just girls, by the way.
Anyway, it is good to have you back on a reasonable connection, John.
Happy about that.
Yeah, well, that was on a hotel connection.
It was a mess.
The whole AT&T net went down completely.
I couldn't even get a phone call out, let alone...
You know, anything else.
I mean, you could do some texting with AT&T if you had an AT&T. Because everyone came into town, they all had iPhones, so they blew up the AT&T system.
And people with Verizon had no problem whatsoever.
But it was weird because the hotel completely lost its Wi-Fi.
It was just shot.
Of course.
It's like this happens every single time every year, and it's not like it can be expected.
Yeah, and here's the deal.
This is the future, and they can't handle it.
Welcome to it.
Yeah, welcome to the future.
It sucks.
Hey, if only there were some news to talk about.
Yeah, it's been a pretty slow week except for the shooting.
What are they calling it now?
Some alliteration.
Not terror in Tucson.
Is it terror in Tucson?
Or tragedy.
Tragedy in Tucson.
Wait a minute.
Tragedy in Tucson.
Tragedy in Tucson.
Yeah, it's all over the shows.
Before we get to that story, let's get a couple other things cleared out.
Okay.
Mainly because I have it on my screen.
Good.
And Eric DeShill mentioned this to me this morning, but, you know, they're going after, you know, the government's finally taking a shot at WikiLeaks.
Oh, with the Twitter stuff, you mean?
Sorry?
With the Twitter stuff, you mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
So they're going after Twitter.
Mm-hmm.
They want their Twitter records, but they want their bank and subscription records.
I'm thinking, do these people even use Twitter?
I think that's a standard...
I read that.
I read the subpoena.
I think it's a standard request.
This is the document that they'll send to Google when they're going to get your Gmail, which is why I'm off of it and run my own mail server.
So they'll have to send that request to me.
As on my own mail provider.
But it's just a standard form, standard question.
Yeah, well obviously there's something stupid about it.
But so I was told this morning that they're going to at least look at the 635,000 followers.
Well, that would include me.
Well, you know, that's why I have this up on the screen, because I went to WikiLeaks, because I didn't know if I was a follower.
Oh, okay.
And it turns out that I'm not, so you're going to be under arrest.
I'm under investigation.
We'll take a look and see what the differences are between you and me in the weeks to come.
I've got a better idea.
Why don't I unfollow and you follow, and let's see how that goes.
I'm not going to touch this thing with a 10-foot pole.
I don't want to deal with it.
No.
No.
But what I did get, what was funny, was similar to WikiLeaks, you know, that you get the, if you're following them, they're similar.
Oh, right, a recommendation, yeah.
Yeah, so they got the open rights group, down with tyranny, and Disinformation.
And Rachel Maddow.
I don't know what Kevin Paulson's doing on there.
Who is Kevin Paulson?
Kevin Paulson's the hacker.
There's a bunch of news stories about him.
He's with Wired Magazine.
He's the guy who was busted years ago.
One of the early thrown in jail for being a hacker.
Oh, I know who you're talking about.
Wasn't he the...
The guy who released the code to crack encryption?
I don't think that was...
It might have been.
It could be.
Whatever the case is, his real notoriety came from the fact that he hacked a phone switch and he could win all those Los Angeles...
Oh, the radio...
He had a third caller.
Yeah, right.
So he won like five or six multi-thousand dollar deals in a row.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's a business.
We could look into that.
Well...
I don't know.
How did we do today?
Let's see if we have to get into the radio station competition business.
We're okay.
Good.
So let's get into some stories.
What have you discovered?
Well, let's thank some producers first.
I wanted to do that before we roll on.
I'm sorry, did I throw you for a loop there?
We've only been doing it for 267 episodes.
Yeah, well, I mean, it's just a matter of the page that's on the screen.
Well, while you bring that up, let me do a quick PR mention to Sigma, who you'll find in the chat room at NoAgendaChat.net, is Sigma, who has updated yet again the Linux BatSignal.
Of course, we have a BatSignal on the iPhone with the PocketNoAgenda app.
The Android platform doesn't really have push notifications.
Which makes it kind of hard to do a bat signal, but someone should do some form of bat signal.
You know what?
Screw it.
I'm going to put a bat signal in the Big App Show app.
That would be kind of funny.
People thinking that, hey, something just happened there.
And I think it's a new Big App Show episode, but it'll be for no agenda.
I'm going to do that.
Go over this again?
Forget about it.
So there's a bat signal for Linux boxes.
You know what the bat signal is, right?
No.
Yes, you do.
No, I know what a bat signal is, but I don't know what it is for Linux boxes.
Well, you know what our bat signal is?
Again, we've been only using it for a couple hundred episodes.
Yeah, I know, but what's it got to do with Linux boxes?
Well, if you have a Linux box, there is an app that you can load on it, which you can get from GitHub.
It's the No Agenda bat signal.
And when I send out the bat signal that either A, there is a show going on, or B, your ultimate demise is likely, which we can also use the bat signal for, then your Linux box will chirp or alert you in some way.
Really?
Yes.
Also, at the request of Mr.
Oil, there is now an accompanying IRC bot.
When the Linux bat signal is received, it forwards it to the IRC bot, which will echo it across all channels it is loaded in.
I'm telling you, man, this is great.
This actually works?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you have a Linux box?
Have you tried it?
No.
I have a Linux box.
I have not tried it.
But I know it works.
Huh.
I know people who have used it.
That's pretty cool.
No, we've got all kinds of cool stuff like that.
Yeah, I know we do.
We actually have more cool stuff than any other show.
Yeah, we also have Doug in the chat room now.
Doug?
Doug?
Doug the Blackbird?
Yeah, so Doug is now our newsreader.
He reads the Ministry of Truth news every hour on the stream.
Can you play a little bit of Doug?
Sure, hold on a second.
You put me on the spot, but yeah, hold on a second.
Let me...
I wasn't expecting that.
Let me go to my downloads.
While you're doing that, I can mention the executive producers.
Here it is.
Here's a bit of Doug.
This is Doug with your Gitmo Nation news headlines direct from the Ministry of Truth.
Nine-year-old.
There you go.
That's Doug.
I'm impressed.
Yeah, yeah.
And he also announces the songs and he does all kinds of cool stuff.
The Ministry of Truth.
Alright, let's start with our executive producer for this show is Kevin Liang.
That's how you pronounce it.
From Richmond, British Columbia.
Happy New Year.
Donation night layaway for the Sunday show has been sent your way.
Thanks for the hard work and hope 2011 is a good year for no agenda.
I've got a douchebag trifecta call out.
He gave us $300, so I suppose we can do that easily enough.
Okay.
My friends refuse to listen to the show and mock it.
Oh, no!
Yes.
Jeff, Brutal Master, Hemstra.
Hemstra.
Hemstra.
So we give him a...
Douchebag!
Right?
Yeah, he's a douchebag.
Justin, cheap North Korean bastard Choi.
Douchebag!
And Colin, queen of Athabasca?
What is that, Elliot?
Doesn't sound good.
Douchebag!
Whatever it is, doesn't sound like you want to be called it.
No, it doesn't sound good at all.
It sounds like something terrible.
Anyway, thank you, Kevin.
We have two associate executive producers and also exclusive members of the 268 Club.
Ooh, double up, eh?
Cool.
Black Knight Aradudarian from Trabuco Canyon, California, 268.
Hi, guys.
I want to thank you for making good on the Challenge Coins.
Eric's been a great help replacing coins that were never delivered.
The donations to help offset Some of the additional costs of the show is incurred.
Have a great 2011 era to Durian.
Mission Viejo, actually.
Is that not Sir Era?
It's Sir Era, sorry.
Black Knight Sir Era.
And also Sir Charles Jordan of Milwaukee, Wisconsin joined the 268 Club.
He wants to call out Don Parker as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Douchebag!
And he also has the best Mai Tai.
You can find it at the FoundationAR.com.
He has an extra 10-10-10 coin number 130 and will mail it to the rightful owner.
If anybody out there ordered number 130.
Noah Cutler, associate executive producer from Austin, Texas, 22222.
Please mention my brother-in-law Brad Meltzer's new thriller novel, The Inner Circle.
He researched it with the help of the Department of Homeland Security and a former U.S. president and uses the backdrop of...
Of the National Archives.
It's got a lot of things no agenda listeners will enjoy.
Go to bradmelzer.com for details and his tour dates.
He's going to be down in LA. He's going to be on a tour.
Cool.
That's nice.
A book tour.
That's miserable.
And Brad Meltzer's decoded on the History Channel.
Hitting stuff in the mouth.
Thank you very much, Noah Cutler.
And that's K-U-T-T-L-E-R, right?
Cutler.
Right.
And those are our executive producers for today's Wonderful episode 268.
Well, we appreciate that.
You know that these are official credits.
You can list yourself as an executive producer or associate executive producer for a No Agenda show 268.
It's an official credit.
Unlike those pussies in Hollywood, we'll actually vouch for you.
Everybody else, human resources, propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New World Order.
All right, everybody say it now.
Shut up.
It literally is National Slavery Month, John.
Yeah, I heard that.
Did you not know that?
No, I did.
I did know.
It is National Slavery Month.
It is also, I believe it is National Beware of Stalker Month.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
And I'm still confused how that can happen, how that works.
I thought if you have a month, it's just the month is the month of the thing, whatever it is.
It can't be more, right?
Well, why not?
It's National Stalking Awareness Month.
I think they should have some...
They're going to have multiple months or multiple entries for a single month.
I think there's going to be some good contradictory ones.
Well, I think the whole idea of National Stalking Awareness Month is pretty creepy.
It is pretty creepy.
Who comes up with that and says, hey, I got a great idea.
Let's run this all the way up to the White House and have the president sign a declaration that we have to beware of stalkers.
Yeah, well that would include the Justice Department it seems to me if they're going to start looking at everyone to subscribe to the feed from WikiLeaks on Twitter.
Stalking is a serious and pervasive crime that affects millions of Americans each year and communities throughout our country, says our President.
Did you know that?
Yes, I did.
Though we have gained a better understanding of stalking and its prevalence since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994.
Oh, I guess men don't get stalked?
Apparently not.
This dangerous and criminal behavior is still often mischaracterized as harmless.
Okay.
Right on.
Right on.
I just need to read this.
I love the way he says it.
In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand this 21st day of December in the year of our Lord, 2010, and of the independence of the United States of America, the 235th.
That's how I'm going to...
That's going to be my email signature from now on.
This is the thing he signed for just the simple thing of anti-stalking?
Oh, no, it's...
Can't they simplify it?
No, it's really long.
I mean, the whole thing is long, but...
What's the point?
I mean, the whole thing actually at the bottom, he's got his whole email signature.
Now, therefore, I... Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authorities vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim.
January 2011 is National Stalking Awareness Month.
I call on all Americans to learn to recognize the signs of stalking.
Acknowledge stalking as a serious crime and urge those impacted not to be afraid to speak out or ask for help.
Let us also resolve to support victims and survivors and to create communities that are secure and supportive for all Americans.
And then we get the whole, I have here unto set my hand.
Yeah, well, they should shut down Facebook then.
Hey, I've got to speak up.
The president told me, hey, I'm being stalked by Facebook.
Shut it down.
Yeah, good point.
Thank you, John.
Thank you.
So, yeah, nothing going on.
I mentioned Facebook.
I want to get a clip out of the way.
I should have got out of the way on the Thursday show.
Oh, shoot.
Clip right off the bat.
What you got, bro?
So, I'm at a dinner, and I'm talking to a guy.
He says, you know, I don't know.
Something's got to be done about Facebook.
The thing is a plague.
It's just a horrible social construct.
It's ruining the country.
And who was this?
He says, what?
Well, I'm not going to...
He probably doesn't want to be named.
But anyway, he says, what can be done to stop it?
And I says, I wouldn't even worry about it.
It's going to stop itself.
And he says, how's that?
Play the clip.
If it now seems as though everyone and their grandmother is now on Facebook, a new study shows that actually might be true.
Turns out that the fastest growing group on the social network is aged 74 or older.
Yeah.
And older web surfers are also getting increasingly hip to online shopping and news.
That's right.
It'll be all over.
Granny's on.
Hey, what kids are going to be on Facebook if they know that fact?
Yeah, really.
Well, I hope they publicize that a lot.
I think this is the beginning.
We should play that clip more often.
Okay.
We'll put it in the heavy rotation bin.
I'll have Doug announce it.
Actually, that'd be great for Doug to announce that.
Doug even said, now playing on no agenda.
Facebook.mp3.
Cool.
So...
In light of the fact that more and more weird information is coming out about MITRE and other anomalies out there, gee, it seems as though a distraction of the week appeared before us without any prompting whatsoever.
A tragic one, I might add, but still a distraction.
And I'd like to preface, so this of course is regarding the tragedy in Tucson.
First of all, let me say I'm the crackpot, and so when I say that, you know, whether this is MKUltra or whatever it is, regardless of what happened, what took place with the entire Ministry of Truth and how we were inundated with this as the most important thing in the entire world, like this is the tragedy, the president coming out and doing an immediate news conference.
This is so horrible.
And how it's being misused is despicable, whereas the President could have come out and said, you know, I feel really bad for the friends and family of Sergeant Jose Rosado, or perhaps of Jose Arioyo, or perhaps Lance Corporal Hatayek.
Or perhaps Sergeant Michael Beckerman.
Or perhaps Corporal Nagin.
Or perhaps Sergeant Meisner.
And all people who died in the past week in Iraq and Afghanistan.
No, no, no.
He's got to go on and say, oh, it's so horrible that my friend got shot.
I'm sorry.
It just doesn't cut it for me.
It pisses me off and it's wrong.
It makes no sense.
It makes plenty of sense.
Well, yeah, for his agenda, it makes sense.
And what about our news, huh?
It's so funny, because I was watching CNN. You know how I love to watch the weekend crew, because it's always hilarious.
Yeah.
And they had some old douchebag.
I don't know what his name is.
But this...
You know, I noticed that, too.
CNN, what's funny, before you go on with that, I want to mention, Fox, on the weekends, usually has these boneheads on, but they brought in all their heavy hitters.
Well, this is what happened, is both Fox and CNN brought in all their heavy hitters as soon as they could.
Yeah, well, the funny thing was, I think, you know that Meghan newsreader, that good-looking blonde that you mention all the time?
Apparently they brought her in off the street.
She was so made up.
She had bright red, glossy lipsticks.
I mean, she had hot stockings.
It was unbelievable.
It was almost as if they knew it was going to happen.
So they had this backup dude who they brought in for CNN. And he's one of these guys that like...
Even though he's doing show business news, he's really trying hard to make it sound like very important.
So tell me, this news regarding Lindsay Lohan, and I literally saw him around maybe 9.30 a.m.
doing a segment, like some show business news segment, like, why did they bring this douchebag in?
And I might have seen him as some veteran reporting dude.
And then all of a sudden this big news hit.
I was like, wow, he must be loving this.
He must have a big chubby under the desk there.
And then I saw that Fox did their schedule, their lineup, and they brought in Geraldo to come late at night.
And everyone was coming in.
And then CNN brought in Blitzer.
And everyone was all over this.
Like, okay, you know.
It's like, was this ratings week?
Did we miss something?
Was there a reason for that?
No.
They were all on call or something.
I guess they have a pager.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Must come into office immediately.
So, you interrupted me.
Oh, I was going to say, how bad is it that NPR reported that the governor, the congresswoman, was shot dead?
That's NPR. Oh, good work.
Yeah, great work, guys.
And it's like, oh, no, she isn't dead.
And it's like she got shot through and through the head, and then she's awake, she's asleep, and nobody has any real information.
And meanwhile, the guy who actually matters in this, and of course everybody matters when there's something horrible like this, is John Roll, this federal judge who did get killed.
Yeah.
There's all kinds of stuff going on with him.
First of all, he's been a judge for like 40 years or something.
He's a Bush judge.
Well, he's also a Lucy judge when Janet Napolitano was there.
Well, they're all saying that there's just a coincidence he was there.
Talking about rambling reporting, I do have a clip of Shepard Smith.
This is about, I'd say, a third of the way into the story, where Shepard Smith was their main news anchor that was obviously brought in off the street.
Surely you mean Shep Smith.
Shep Smith.
Yes.
He was brought in off the street to carry the load and he had nothing to say except a lot of vagaries.
But it's kind of interesting because he actually reported on the fact that he has nothing to report on and I thought it was as good a ramble as anybody could possibly deliver.
I'm sorry, John.
Just got to start something here.
For some reason, my...
Here we are.
Here's Shep.
Which one is it?
Rambling Shepard Smith.
Of all the Shep Smith clips you gave me, oh man, what is going on here?
You know, you work with this stuff for days and it works fine.
Of Pima County, Clarence Dupnick, speaking with, he says he's a little deaf.
He came up with a lot of information tonight, man.
We got filled in in many ways.
Some updates, in case you're just joining us.
The shooting in Arizona today, a congresswoman, a federal judge, a nine-year-old, on and on.
Here's what we learned.
they have reason to believe, well, they are not convinced that he acted alone.
They have a suspect.
They know they have the only gunman, the only person who fired bullets today.
We were told by witnesses earlier that there was an exchange of gunfire between someone in the crowd or some sort of law enforcement officer.
Didn't happen.
So many times people think they hear and see something at a crime scene, but they didn't.
In this case, the police confirmed there was no exchange of gunfire whatsoever.
I actually saw him roll into, like, this...
Well, you know, he had a MySpace page.
It was taken down.
Of course, MySpace is...
I wish I'd recorded that.
MySpace is just like Facebook, but only it's not.
But, of course, MySpace is owned by the same parent company as Fox, but MySpace page...
It's like, he was just, like, on and on and on.
It's like, say something...
It's useful.
I never realized, I never liked this character, but I never realized how good he is at killing time in a way that's a little more interesting than the Los Angeles news reporters who just can't seem to come up with anything to say.
Smith at least, he says nothing here by the way, but he does it in a way that it makes you think he's saying something.
He's quite good at this.
Well, that's what he gets paid for.
He is very good at it.
He had a gun with an extended magazine.
He said it was semi-automatic.
I haven't seen it.
If you have a problem with what he said is semi-automatic, call him.
Yeah, whatever.
So, did you notice that the nine-year-old child who was murdered was born on 9-11, 2001?
Wow.
Yeah, it's one of those in-your-face type things where you go, wow.
Yeah, I know.
So here's the thing.
This Smith report goes on and on and on, which you don't have to play because it's just basically what you're saying.
No, I see two minutes and 34 seconds left.
No, not going to play it.
You're right.
But play this because this is the Shep Smith on the Army and Finding Out Why clip.
And tell me if you notice kind of an anomaly in here that is like, oh, we have a script.
And somebody would say, hey, Shepard, that part of it, you're not supposed to tell anyone.
A few more things that happened while you were listening to them.
Here are some other things we were learning in the background.
We've told you a number of times today that this suspect, the 22-year-old man, was in Phoenix being trained to go into the military.
Well, we've been able to confirm the following.
The Army has confirmed that the suspect was never in the United States Army.
He attempted to enlist in the Army, but was rejected for service.
Why?
Well, in accordance with the Privacy Act, we will not discuss why he was rejected.
That's the statement from the United States Army, attributed to the United States Army.
Will we find out why he was rejected?
Uh-huh.
Someone will leak that, and we'll have that at some point soon.
So, first of all, I did catch that.
I didn't hear anyone else report that bit about the Army, but I like that someone will leak that.
Yeah, how does he know this?
Because that's how it works.
Is it because they always leak it, or is it because he knows they're going to leak it?
Why would you say that?
He said, well, we find out, uh-huh, that someone's going to leak it.
Yeah, he goes, uh-huh.
What time is the leak?
That leak will be at 2.30 this afternoon in the later news hour.
I mean, give me a break.
It's coming up.
So in other words, they haven't leaked it yet because we don't know quite what bullcrap story they're going to come up with.
Right.
Right.
Anyway, there's a lot of bull crap that surrounds this whole thing and the reporting of it and everything in between.
Well, it's just the way it's being misused to talk about homegrown terror.
Oh yeah, no, I agree.
This is the real problem that this thing, in fact, play the sheriff on free speech and to me this is the key comment made by this Dubnik dipshit sheriff from the area.
And he can come to the microphone now, but let me just say one thing, because people tend to poo-poo this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that.
That may be free speech, but it's not without consequences.
You hear that, Curry and Dvorak?
Shut up, slaves!
Mimi mentioned to me that up in the Port Angeles newspapers, they're already allowing comments on some of the stories, and all the stories about this situation.
Blame Glenn Beck.
Oh yeah, no, there's two, there's Glenn Beck, but then there's the whole Sarah Palin angle because of that image that she had with the crosshairs.
Right.
Yeah, Sarah Palin is being...
Behar was blaming Sarah Palin.
But that was out almost immediately.
I was like, what are they talking about?
Sarah Palin?
Sarah Palin?
And I had to go and click on links.
I was like, oh my god, that's what they're saying is the blame.
It's like this kid saw that picture, saw the crosshairs, and of course the Huffington Post is now like, oh, they took the picture down!
They took it down!
They're completely guilty!
They took it down!
So how hard is it to become a congressman or congresswoman?
Along what?
How hard is it?
How hard is it to become a congresswoman?
It's not easy because you usually have to work your way through the party ranks to get to the point where the party will support you so you can actually run.
Well, I disagree with you.
I disagree.
If you had enough money, you could run.
I disagree.
I disagree.
You're wrong.
Because if you are the widow of a congressman, you become congresswoman.
Apparently, automatically.
Did you know that?
No, that's bullcrap.
Oh, yeah?
Well, Mary Bono Mack...
You can get elected as you can get elected, but you don't inherit the job.
Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, widow of Sonny Bono.
Yes.
She became the Congresswoman when Sonny Bono died.
She didn't become the Congresswoman when Sonny Bono died.
She was given that by the governor.
When he died!
Yeah, but it wasn't that she got it automatically by birthright.
No, okay, right.
But you know what I'm saying?
And they didn't have to give it to her by any means.
They didn't have to, but she received it.
Yeah, that's true.
So on the same weekend, she is so happy right now because she is in the middle of a huge scandal.
There are pictures of her and her biggest donor, billionaire Edra Blixeth, Licking her breasts!
Congresswoman Bono has her breasts exposed in a photo?
Well, she's like Cleavage and then this woman, Edra Blixeth.
Oh, Edra's a woman?
Yes.
Oh yeah, it's like a lesbian thing.
Oh, it's a lesbian dress.
Yes!
Yes!
And she's in pictures licking her breasts, and Radar Online broke this news this weekend, and I bet they're bummed.
Oh, man!
We had the wrong congresswoman.
I would be totally bummed.
I'd miss the story completely.
You got me on this one.
That's another point for you.
You're now ahead in today's show, One to Nothing.
I could just see someone at Radar Online.
Get Mel Gibson off the homepage.
We've got Mary Bono Mack with her breasts being...
They should have put the story off for a week.
By the way, she's cougary hot.
She is...
Bono or the other woman?
No, Bono.
Well, the other woman actually kind of looks a little dykey.
I mean, I think this is just one of those, like, you know, kind of like those, like, oh, we're going to pretend to make out.
But Bono is...
That's one mother.
I liked her.
She's hot.
She's got implants, I think.
I would think.
Yeah, but she's hot.
She's probably had a lot of work done.
How old is she?
I don't know.
Does it matter?
Well, no, it doesn't matter, but I'd just like to know, because she looks like the Heidi you're describing.
She's 70, and I'd say...
Go to Radar Online, and you can see her boobies being licked.
But literally, these guys were like, so...
I can tell they were so happy, like, ah, we're going to break this story.
Big scandal on the hill.
And then this happens.
Yeah, no, that would be very annoying, especially your scoop-oriented operation.
Yeah.
I know.
That's what I thought.
I'm like, you losers.
That is funny.
So anyway, this was totally used as a distraction.
It's going to be misused for homegrown terror.
It's going to be used for a shut-up slave.
You can't talk dissent.
It's going to be used for all kinds of stuff.
Sheriff on free speech, you know.
Free speech has its consequences.
That's the Well, free speech does have its consequences.
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, that's right.
Your point is...
Getting douchebags like that out of office.
That's the main consequence.
But really...
Anyway, there's nothing we can say.
There's really not much more we can say about this.
You can make all kinds of assertions and there's all kinds of...
I put a ton of links in the show notes, of course.
Noagendershow.com under 2TTH. As in two to the head.
But again, the whole fact that it's all about the congresswoman and not about the judge who actually is dead is bothersome.
And of course, you know, oh, we've delayed the whole vote on the so-called repealing of the health care.
Yeah, I don't get that.
I actually have that clip from Shepard Smith.
Shep Smith ever bought it.
You've got Shep Smith here on repealing the legislation or delaying the vote.
One more thing.
There was legislation that was scheduled for this week in the United States Congress.
Republicans were going to vote on the health care bill and whether to repeal it in the United States House of Representatives.
Now, it wouldn't have been repealed because the Senate would not have done that because it's Democrat-controlled, and the President certainly has the veto power.
Nevertheless, Republicans are going to vote on this, and it was widely believed that it was probably going to be struck down in the U.S. House of Representatives.
That's not going to happen now.
The Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, announced this afternoon that health care bill and all other votes will be postponed in the House of Representatives the entire week.
Due to the Gifford shooting, they called it the Gifford shooting because obviously she's a member of their body.
And further, because they want to take any action necessary, and that's a quote because of what happened there.
Couldn't he have said that in one sentence?
There was another thing that really bothered me.
The president came out, and I don't think I've ever, maybe I've never noticed it before, but where he did this speech was right under a huge picture of Abraham Lincoln, who was, of course, assassinated.
I woke up at like 4.30 this morning and went like...
That's a good catch.
Is that a message?
Was that a message somehow?
Subtle, maybe some subconscious thing.
Yeah, what room is this?
It looked like a different room than normal, actually, to be quite honest.
Yeah, and why would you do that there with that image?
Yeah, so it was subtle, but it woke me up at...
Before this morning, I'm like, hmm.
Boing!
That's exactly what happened.
This is what my life has become.
This is how bad it is.
Wait a minute!
I know!
Did I see what I think I saw?
It's exactly what it is.
And there was more.
In the same weekend, we had the incendiary packages sent to Lucy Napolitano.
And this was a rudimentary device.
Of course, immediately we know it's not Muslim terrorists, radical Islamists.
We know that somehow it's homegrown.
Well, here's the report that blew me away from the LA Times, and it's all in the headline.
Incendiary packages might be part of, quote, vendetta.
I'm like, oh my god, could you try and make it?
I mean, that is so sneaky.
That is the whole V for Vendetta thing.
V for Vendetta.
V for Vendetta.
And they put it in quotes, not like Vendetta as in the word, but it's quoted meaning that it's supposed to stand out and say something.
So Vendetta would be V for Vendetta would be crazy kooks who vote for Ron Paul and listen to No Agenda.
Yeah.
So, it's just, that's bad.
It's not okay that this is happening.
Yeah, well, it's nothing that we haven't predicted.
Well, here's, so, and then I keep seeing these things pop up.
These PSAs now are popping up everywhere.
Did you buy the flashlight and the batteries?
Yes.
Did you make sure we're not missing anything in the first aid kit?
Yep.
Yep.
Did you go through the plan with the kids again?
Yes.
The more you prepare today, the more you'll be able to reduce the devastating effects of a tornado, an earthquake, a power outage, or any other disaster.
Get a kit, make a plan, be informed.
Visit ready.gov.
Shut up, slaves!
Be ready!
For terror!
Something bad's gonna happen!
This is the PSA's your government is running.
Doesn't sound very...
So just in case there's a power outage...
Give me a break.
You know, the earthquake thing is always amusing.
I'm going to give some people some earthquake tips.
Before you get into that, I think I have the reason why this distraction was grasped so readily.
Did you find anything?
I found something.
Did you find anything?
I found something.
I found something.
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see.
I can't believe that you didn't pick up on this.
I may have picked up on it.
I did pick up on it.
You picked up on it.
Huge news.
Huge news came out just before the weekend, and Senator Charles Grassley was all over it, and he actually appeared on Anderson 360, keeping him honest.
Did you notice he's keeping him honest, John?
Anderson's keeping him honest.
This was huge news.
This was news that started in 2008, I believe.
Hey, stop, stop.
Who's he keeping honest?
He's keeping them.
It's them.
Who's them?
It's them.
He's keeping them honest.
If he interviews you, he's keeping you honest.
He's just keeping somebody honest.
It's what he does.
Except when it comes to Haiti.
But that's another story.
Charles Grassley got this report.
We reported on this briefly, but now it turns out it's gotten a little bit worse.
This is regarding the pornography that was being downloaded and purchased, apparently, at the Pentagon and the NSA. You remember these reports, John?
Yeah, this is from some months back.
We reported on this.
Yeah, July, July.
But actually, the report was regarding 2008.
But it wasn't just any old pornography, John.
It was child pornography.
And it wasn't just a couple employees.
It was 5,200 employees suspected of viewing and purchasing child pornography in the Pentagon and NSA. This doesn't sound believable.
Senator Grassley, you were told that 5,200 Defense Department employees had allegedly purchased child porn, and yet you're saying only 3,500 of those names were cross-checked by a defense investigator to see if they were really DOD personnel.
That's mind-boggling.
Why weren't all of them cross-checked?
Well, we don't have an answer to that question, but it's quite obvious that the other 1,700 should have been cross-checked.
And that's one of the answers to my questions that I want answered.
And the implication of our question is they ought to be cross-checked.
We ought to find out because we're talking about not just general pornography here.
We're talking about child pornography.
And child pornography, taking that down, is a crime.
And also, there's an added factor here.
Did he say taking that down is a crime?
What he meant was downloading.
Considering the fact that there's a lot of security information, national security information, that the world shouldn't know, that a lot of times foreign operatives will use this sort of criminal activity to blackmail to get information.
This, by the way, what he's saying there is absolutely true, and that's what's going on that I know for pretty much fact in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, where the whole Justice Department there is corrupted because of pornography and, in some cases, child porn taking place in foreign countries.
These foreign countries find out about it, then they blackmail these people into doing whatever they want.
I think this is huge.
Well, it's huge.
I mean, just the story itself is huge.
But it's been completely covered up.
There's more.
There's a lot of things here that are involved because it's a Defense Department issue as opposed to any other department of government.
Right.
I mean, if your numbers are correct, 1,700 people out there who allegedly purchased child porn, we don't know if they were ever cross-checked or investigated, right?
That's true, and there's been some other names in the hundreds.
That's code right there.
That's code.
Like, I'm coming for you.
Some other names.
Some other names.
Be very afraid.
Other names.
The names have actually been given out that we don't know what's going to be done about them.
Now, there's some reason to believe that it's a criminal act.
It's been something.
Since this happened, that they could be stale, maybe you can't have criminal prosecution, but we would be looking at administrative action to be taken against these people, and I want to know who they are and what administrative action is being taken.
Yeah, I want to know too!
I want to know who these people are.
Well, I want to know for one reason...
Specifically, which is, is this a bunch of bull crap from the get-go, designed for some other reason, or actually put out there for some other reason, either to shake somebody down?
Possibly.
God knows what.
It stems from expansive investigation by ICE, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and I like this, it was known as Project Flickr.
See, the problem is with me, I mean, I don't doubt a lot of the theories, especially the ones you have about certain sub-segments of the Holland and British communities, and in our communities, too.
It's just a sheer number.
It just seems unlikely.
I mean, the Defense Department does employ a lot of people, but I mean, we're talking about just the Pentagon specifically.
5,000 people downloading child porn on government computers with their...
This doesn't make any sense.
Are these people...
I mean, if there were that many, it would be a scandal.
We might as well just legalize it.
Or you might want to, like, MKUltra some kid into shooting some people so he can distract the attention.
It just doesn't make any sense that the number would be that.
This is a fishy story.
And then the fact that it's being covered up the way you suggest with the shooting and all the rest of it.
I mean, if the tit licking doesn't get their attention, the shooting will.
The whole thing is fishy.
Yeah, because what's even more startling is that of the 302 people confirmed as DOD personnel or contractors, only 70 of them were actually investigated.
I mean, how is it possible that all of them were investigated?
Well, here's, I think, the thing that overrides everything you just asked, and that is we ask criminal investigators in the Division of Defense that does that the extent to which supervisors of these people knew that this was going, and the criminal investigators couldn't even answer that question for us when we had a briefing from them.
So wait a minute, so you're saying we don't even know if the supervisors of these people were told that their employees may have downloaded child porn?
That's the question that my staff ask of the criminal investigators.
So what bone would this guy have to pick, Grassley?
He's been around for a long time, right?
Why would he pick this up?
I think Grassley probably just got onto this and wonders why...
I mean, he probably doesn't see through the possibilities.
I mean, there could be some battles between one department and another.
You know, it's not that difficult to plant...
Child porn or any other kind of thing on somebody's computer if you have any skills, especially on a network like, you know, that's a closed network and you happen to be the network administrator.
I mean, it's very possible.
You know what's really funny, though?
Whenever some schmuck gets picked up for porn on his laptop, no one ever comes to his defense that way.
It's always like, lock that fucker up!
Lock him up!
Slap a bracelet on him!
Nobody wants to defend any of this because it's one of these great little memes.
Child porn is the worst thing in the world.
So if somebody gets caught with it, they may, you know, be in it.
I mean, this happened in, there's a good story in the East Bay Express about somebody in the school district of Oakland who had been, you know, was against, there was some woman, there was a very scandalous situation with who was managing the school district and Some guy who was the biggest critic ended up with child porn on his office computer where it comes in so handy and it was apparently planted by this woman who was trying to get rid of him and instead of throwing the book at him and throwing him in jail,
he agreed to quit.
The board or the agency that he was involved with got out of there, but he claims it was planted on his machine, and it probably was.
And good forensic investigators who know how to look at...
Today's machines, by the way, are so complicated in terms of their file structures and the way they're organized and the backup temp files and all the other crap that's on the machine nowadays, especially with Windows.
That a forensics investigator who knows how to get through the file system and look around, dig around, can find, you know, change dates and how something got from point A to point B on the hard disk and can get some of these, you know, if they can explain it to a jury, can probably get some people off on some of these situations where the stuff has been planted.
I'm very suspicious about this story.
I was suspicious about it in July.
I thought it was fishy then because of the sheer numbers.
I can imagine 10 or 20 creeps in the Defense Department or the Pentagon, let's say, with a collection of child porn in some club.
But I can't imagine 5,000 because what's the point?
And what would they be doing on a government machine that's all locked down and networked and tracked and it's got spy bots all over it and it's being looked at constantly?
I mean, they know that this is an insecure or an unsecure system.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Always nice to see you defending the pornographers.
See, that's exactly what you're defending.
Precisely.
That's why this is such a great thing to do.
You just put some child porn.
You don't have to do it.
You just accuse somebody.
Exactly.
Because nobody ever gets to see the child porn because it's illegal to look at it.
So thus, you know, it's just, it's unbelievable that, and the fact that nudity is now considered child porn.
If you have a picture of a baby on a bare skin rug, that's child porn by today's standards.
So I mean, this has become a bugaboo.
A bugaboo, he says.
A bugaboo.
All right, let's move off of that.
I just thought that was pretty big, and I think it would have been something great to propagate on the networks, and I think Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper picked up on it nicely, and he got slapped down by tragedy in Tucson.
Tragedy in Tucson.
However, there was some other cool stuff that happened.
Interestingly enough, I only received one email from somebody who actually did a Wikipedia lookup on these guys.
Shadow Puppet.
President Obama announced a number of new puppets into the theater.
Of course, the most interesting of the bunch at first sight would be William Daly, known as Bill Daly, son of the Chicago mayor and, of course, part of the Daly dynasty, which is just like, you know, why don't you just bring Al Capone in, is what I was thinking.
Isn't that kind of what the Daly family is?
He's dead.
That's what you say.
No proof of that.
But, so, you know, this is like, it's like the Daly dynasty has been running Chicago for what, 50 years now?
Probably closer to 60.
Yeah.
So this guy who, of course, has worked at a couple of banks.
He was on the Fannie Mae board when Clinton was in the White House.
He ran SBC Communications, which, of course...
Didn't Yahoo acquire them?
What was that?
No, no, no.
SBC was the company that took over everybody.
They took over Pacific Bell.
They're now AT&T. Right, that's what it is.
There was a huge failure.
AT&T, of course, has that building in San Francisco.
It's the CIA, NSA, or one of them.
One of the alphabet soup agencies.
He was Midwest chairman of JPMorgan Chase, Bank One Corporation, currently on the board of directors of Boeing, Merck.
This is a great guy to bring in.
Oh, and of course, Council on Foreign Relations, my favorite organization.
So that's the guy who's replacing Rahm the Blade Emanuel as the Chief of Staff.
But then, even more interesting, the President announced a new head of his NEC. And of course, I first went like...
This guy's head of NEC? What's NEC? I knew you'd want to know what that is.
The National Economic Council.
Oh yeah, the NEC. NEC. And he brings in Gene Sperling.
And do you know who Gene Sperling is?
No, but you know what?
You know what?
What?
I'm going to find out.
Gene Sperling, now this is, so, this is another, like, amazing dude that he's brought in.
He's like a Goolsby guy?
No, he's worse because, and I was really trying to understand if what Wikipedia is saying is true, it's freaking me out.
Sperling was a principal negotiator.
At the time when Lawrence Summers was Treasury Secretary, principal negotiator of the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, known as the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act.
Oh, it's got Phil Graham's name on it.
That's bad news.
Listen to this.
The Graham-Leach-Bliley Act repealed large portions of Glass-Steagall, allowing banks and security firms and insurance companies to merge.
So the guy who was the architect of the collapse that we're now in is now leading the Economic Council.
I mean, you can't make this up!
Yeah, that's good.
You can't make it up!
I'll give you a point.
I'll give you another point.
You just can't make it up.
I'm crying over here.
That's a beauty.
I'm crying.
Like, what?
It's like his stuff writes itself.
This can't be true.
What, does he get a do-over?
What is this?
He didn't screw it up enough.
What is that?
And then the president's like, hey, he's great.
He's back.
He literally says, hey, this guy's back.
He's here for a second term.
Good on you.
Democrats are just pleased as punch with bullcrap.
Good on you.
I just, it's like, will anyone pick up on that, please?
No.
No.
Please, please, please.
I mean, it's in Wikipedia, for Christ's sake.
Excuse me for taking the Lord's name in vain.
But it's on Wikipedia.
I mean, even the lowest of all lower-than-whale-poop journalists looks at Wikipedia when someone comes in and is appointed to the Economic Council.
Or are we too preoccupied with the tragedy in Tucson?
Exactly.
Yeah, okay, that's a good one.
That's the point.
I don't mean to make them, but I got more.
Uh-oh.
So you've been doing a lot of research.
This is my life, John.
I was in Vegas.
Spinning the wheels.
But this is what my life has become.
I just sit here and I go like, huh.
The universe shifted again and I can feel it.
My whole body aches from it sometimes.
Why else do you think people support us?
They support the show because of the work we're doing.
And by the way, I can't take credit for it 100%.
I mean, the Wikipedia lookup, yeah, gee, that was the work I did.
Yeah, well, how much work does it take?
A lot of work went into that.
I'm telling you, a lot of work.
There was one...
Which is actually the sad part.
I know!
That's what makes it pathetic.
But this is the...
What is the major media, guys?
Do you realize how many millions of dollars Shepard Smith gets a year?
Three million.
Three million a year.
He gets three million and the major anchors on NBC, ABC and CBS are up five to ten.
Uh-huh.
Million dollars a year, and they can't put two and two together by going to Wikipedia, which, like you said, is a crappy resource, but often brings results.
And I'm cuter than Matt Lauer.
I got more hair.
I should be able to do that show.
He's bald.
And that's what I'm saying.
I got more hair than him.
You shouldn't be on the air.
You shouldn't be on TV with hair like that.
It should be disallowed.
You should be outlawed, damn it.
Because they do it to the women.
They start getting a little chubby.
They fire them.
They should fire the bald men.
So then there's this, I mean, of course, most of the news got snowed under because of the tragedy in Tucson.
Oh, nice.
I like that effect.
That's good.
So one of the news articles out there was, you know, we're tightening up the belt.
Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, said, yeah, we're going to cut military spending by $78 billion over five years.
I'm like, $78 billion, that's only a Facebook and a half.
What are you talking about, man?
Over five years.
They're spending $100 billion a year in Afghanistan.
$100 billion plus.
They spend $2 billion a day for the Defense Department.
But over five years!
It's like 10.
It's like nothing.
Meanwhile, they're going to expand the budget so it'll even out plus.
I will say, Judge Napolitano The heir apparent to Glenn Beck brings on Dennis Kucinich.
And Kucinich kind of lays it out, and it was quite entertaining.
I'm finding it disturbing that I'm in agreement with Kucinich more and more and more as time goes by.
I loved him from the moment he liked UFOs.
From the moment he was on the UFO tip, I'm like, that's my man.
So here is Dennis Kucinich.
And Judge Napolitano actually kind of goes off, which is funny.
Well, it's a step in the right direction, but it's not substantial.
You know, you're talking about $78 billion over five years.
It's a fraction of the overall Pentagon spending that would be projected to occur in that time.
But what we have to do is look at the money that's already being spent.
You know, they constantly lose track of taxpayers' money inside the Pentagon and how the money is spent.
This is a problem that's been going on for decades from Democrat and Republican administrations alike.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Is there something about America, mom, God, the flag, and apple pie, World War II, that has made the Pentagon a sacred cow, that they can waste all the money they want, and Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, big government progressives, and libertarians will look the other way?
I thought that was a great rant.
Yes, that is exactly what's happening, Judge.
Yep.
Well, you know, it's a constitutional responsibility to provide for the common defense.
However, there's nothing in the Constitution that says that we ought to blow money in that provision.
We should blow it on hookers and blow, not on that.
And what's happened with the Pentagon is they lose track of money.
When I came to Congress, there were over a trillion dollars of accounts they couldn't reconcile.
That's my favorite, and the reason I bring that up is it gives me another excuse to play the Donald Rumsfeld clip From September 10th, 2010, the day before 9-11, Donald Rumsfeld, the then Secretary of Defense, says this.
According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.
Oops!
And then, of course, the exact department where the accounting for that...
I lost money.
A plane flew into it.
Sorry, I almost said a missile, but it was a plane that we don't have on videotape, and there was no luggage and no debris and all that other stuff.
Well, actually, there was quite a bit of debris.
I'm sorry, but no debris of, like, luggage.
There was not a single suitcase that you can point to in any picture anywhere.
People were traveling without their suitcases that day.
And that day only.
And then the final distraction due to the tragedy in Tucson.
Where's my sound effect, John?
That's great.
Let's try that again.
Tragedy in Tucson.
Is...
The Democrats actually, and where did I get this from?
The Washington Post.
I think they're very happy, and this is why the voting has been delayed.
They had a whole massive press extravaganza set up.
70 different press announcements to combat the Republican repealing of the Health Care Act.
The Washington Post has this whole article about how they...
It's like a complete media warfare.
They were planning.
So I don't know if it's off or they're going to postpone.
And it's all based upon, I love this, a poll found that 42% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the health care bill and 41% an unfavorable one.
The poll, John, who was the poll done by the Kaiser Family Foundation?
Hello.
Hello.
Non-partisan.
They even dare to say.
Yeah, they don't care.
Non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation, who I believe are the same people, the same family behind, is it Kaiser Permanente by any chance?
Yes.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So it's your money, and that's what they're doing with it.
Good night, everybody.
Terrorist tragedy in Tucson.
So before we leave these topics, I want to get one more clip in.
Please.
Because we discussed the tragedy in Tucson, and of course they're using it as a double-edged sword.
In other words, they take some of these news stories and chop them away from the mainstream.
And I think we've outlined the main ones.
But also the second and most compelling thing is the use of them for...
Propagandizing the public against, you know, turning the American public against itself, limiting free speech, anti-gun legislation, which we did not bring up, but is part of it.
Internet ID, which is now on the books as well.
Right.
All these sorts of things.
But the other one, which is the most onerous, is this guy.
I've never seen him before.
He shows up on Fox.
And I want to remind people out there who are listening to shows.
They watch Fox or they watch CNBC or whatever they watch.
And we've determined this some time ago.
Fox is not your friend.
No, they are run by the Democrats.
And so Megan, the hot blonde, who I love, who Adam loves, who was made up to the hilt for this, has this doctor on who I've never heard of before.
And I watch Fox a lot, but I've never seen this guy.
But I guess, you know, he's the Fox Psychiatric Analyst or something.
He had some crazy title.
Comes out with this nonsense, which I just made the hair on the back of my neck stand on, and where he essentially advocates essentially a fascist state.
If you listen between the lines, play this Megan on Fox with Doctor.
We don't know what they're talking about.
The sheriff just said there were difficulties there.
There was some petty anti-stuff with law enforcement with some drug paraphernalia.
But it's not exactly something that had red flags all over it, this guy's history.
You know, that's the disconcerting part to people out there now who are wondering, where's the next Jared Lochner?
Well, yes, but yes, that's true, that there are people who can do very dangerous or even homicidal things who don't raise red flags, but there are also people who raise tons of red flags again and again, and our system doesn't really respond to them because we do have law enforcement saying that he voiced homicidal ideation toward others in the past.
If that's an accurate report, why wasn't he hospitalized or was he hospitalized in a locked psychiatric unit?
Because that's one of the prongs that would get you put in a locked psychiatric unit.
Homicidal ideation in the context of, if it's present, a mental illness.
And to get out should be tough because that risks other people's lives.
But we don't have a continuum of care in this country, mental illness-wise, that's reliable at all.
It's shattered.
It's a good question.
The sheriff didn't really get into that about what exactly the follow-up was in response to those threats and why he wasn't arrested.
What do you call it?
Homicidal what?
Ideation.
You should be locked up.
And it should be hard to get out.
In other words, we're talking about pre-crime or making idle threats.
Well, hello, but the president has signed executive orders for exactly that.
You can be picked up in this country and locked away without any due process for long as the president wants, or, should the president so wish, you can be killed!
This is all executive orders.
Yeah, enough said, right?
You can be killed.
But the fact that this is on Fox and expressed in a matter-of-fact way as a good thing...
Yeah.
...is a bad...
You know, it does not bode well for the people who listen to Fox.
I mean, they're going to be brainwashed into thinking that this kind of...
It's fascist.
I mean, it's just plain and simple.
It's leading right to pre-crime and the rest of it, which has always been laughed about, ho, ho, ho.
But the fact of the matter is, everything is headed that way, and they're promoting it.
Another little message that I... Did you catch the local affiliates' call letters?
I know which one.
K-G-U-N. Which Shep Smith, I'm surprised you didn't have that clip, he kept saying, we've got our affiliate there, K-G-U-N. K-G-U-N. I didn't notice this.
Yeah, K-G-U-N. K-G-U-N. Our affiliate on the ground there in Tucson is K-G-U-N. I think at one point he even said, boy, can you believe that?
The affiliate's name is K-G-U-N. We could have said K-G-U-N. But it was so obvious.
K-Gun.
Which it is.
It's K-G-U-N. It's not K-Gun.
K-Gun.
You can't say K-Gun.
Shooting you the news.
K-Gun.
Tragedy in Tucson.
Shooting you the news on K-Gun.
We could do it, John.
I could get gussied up like Megan.
We could look good.
We could be on Fox.
We could do shows.
Yeah, and we could have the sound effects and the whole thing.
We don't even need a sound effect.
We could have lower thirds.
Dr.
Dvorak.
I'll come up and throw the key away.
That's what I says.
Dr.
Dvorak, welcome to Tragedy in Tucson.
Thank you, Megan.
Oh, my goodness.
Alright, let's thank a couple people who made our show possible.
We're not quite in the Fox League of newscasting salaries, but we're happy not just with what we receive from our $5 a month subscribers, our $30, our Locker 33s, our Night Layaways, everyone who's supporting the show.
Of course, the Human Resources who are working very hard on NoAgendaStream.com.
And not just the stream, but the chat room.
All of that stuff.
All of the initiatives.
We're very, very happy.
We're building a community somehow which seems to be working.
For as long as it lasts.
Yeah, until they put us on some list.
And, of course, I wisely did not sign up to be following WikiLeaks, but my cohort here has, and we'll see what happens when it becomes of that.
Let's do a couple of make-goods before we get to the main donors of this week's show, and then with Barry Finnegan, who's a member of the 267 Club, which is never...
You can't join anymore, by the way.
He wanted us to...
We did not mention his MyNoAgendaRealtor.com site.
MyNoAgendaRealtor.com site.
He's a San Diego real estate guy.
I think you pronounce it as Realtor.
Did I say Realtor?
You see Realtor, which is kind of like the difference between well and good in my book.
No, no.
I don't think it's the same as well and good.
I think Realtor...
It's Realtor.
I think it's Realtor.
No, it's R-E-A-L-T-O-R. It's Realtor.
My No Agenda Realtor.
I don't know why I say Realtor.
I think that's one of those things like nuclear.
Nuclear.
It's nuclear.
I'll look it into the pronunciation, but you might be right.
But I've always said Realtor.
Well, it's incorrect.
I know.
I'm looking at the word.
It doesn't have an A in there, so why would it be Realtor?
Because it's not.
It's Realtor.
It's MyNoAgendaRealtor.com.
Well, he's a Realtor.
Excuse me.
I cannot say it.
I can't stop myself.
He was hoping for some karma for the coming year because he's apparently the real...
Oops.
Oh, what happened there?
Did I... Oh, my...
So, uh...
I'm sorry.
The coffee hit the plug.
Let me move the coffee over there.
He's hoping for some karma.
I got that part.
You've got karma.
And Stephen Howard, who was this exclusive member of the show...
Oh, no, he wasn't.
I'm sorry.
He was just a $70 dollar.
By the way, he's Autonomizer.
He's Autonomizer.
In the chat room.
And also, his Dropbox is in rotation on the No Agenda stream.
Autonomizer.
He's looking for a de-douching and some karma.
All right.
Well, here we go.
You've been de-douched.
Hold on.
Karma.
You've got karma.
Ooh, I can feel that one.
Yeah, that felt good.
I can't thank you two wonderful gentlemen enough for this amazing show you have.
Good morning!
You guys are truly the only Mavericks of Media that I'm aware of.
I think Mavericks of Media.
That's good.
I'm liking that.
I like it.
Mavericks of Media.
These are your Mavericks of Media.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorah.
Tragedy in Tucson.
I like Mavericks of Media.
That is...
That is amazing!
That's amazing!
We're so good.
I like it.
I like it, I like it, I like it.
Yes, very good.
Okay, Thomas Nussbaum.
Sir Thomas Nussbaum, as a matter of fact, Virginia Beach, Virginia gave us $111.11 one-time donation for Nat Cole.
Nat Cole's becoming a dame from Sir Nussbaum, her boyfriend.
Okay.
We'll look forward to Nackhole becoming a dame.
David Byrne, Brooklyn, New York, 111.
Bill Rudder, San Jose, California, 111.
Both new members of the No Agenda producer family.
Niels Martens in Deutschland.
I got a bunch of...
Do you have the word?
Because I have a bunch of...
I don't have the right font or something.
It's just a mess.
I have the...
I'm Morgan.
What do you...
Let me see.
I was...
No, I have the same thing.
I got like a crazy character.
Okay.
Anyways, in Deutschland, $99.99.
Still hoping for a shipment of the coin.
Get a hold of Eric at...
Chill at noagendanation.com.
Wishes us both a happy, healthy, critical mind for 211.
I think we're getting there.
Sterling Ellsworth, or Sir Sterling Ellsworth, as he should be known by his friends in Santa Barbara, 777.
It's been a while, but the Obama recession is still killing me.
Us too.
We're giving more if it was possible.
Yeah, we appreciate it.
Warren Carroll, another new producer, Des Moines, Washington, 6333.
I didn't know there was a Des Moines, Washington.
Please give karma to Josh Springer, owner of Grin On Industries, a high school friend.
You've got karma.
The coolest beer dispenser ever.
Check it out at BottomsUpBeer.com or videos on YouTube.
Have you seen that thing?
No, have you?
It's amazing.
They put like a cup on top of this box and the beer shoots up from the bottom.
Into the cup.
It's like, you know, if you do that...
How does it not spill all over the place?
You have to see it.
If you did that in England, they would cut your head off.
But it's very funny.
It is indeed a very cool device.
I wouldn't mind having one here at the Watchtower.
That would be kind of funny.
For all the beer I'm drinking.
For all the beer I drink.
Well, the job sucks.
A lot.
Here's hoping for a lot of no agenda karma aid by continuing jobs.
Yeah, no problem.
Here it comes.
You've got karma.
The job sucks.
Well, basically, we just got some government cash.
You got the job.
I love it.
Yeah, that's good.
Tanya, Dame Tanya Wyman, New York City, $50.14.
It just adds up to make her a double dame.
That's right.
We're going to be daming her again.
I just realized I was approaching the magic 2K mark, so I thought I'd kick in enough to put her over the top.
I will, of course, continue my $33.33 subscription.
We encourage everyone else to do that.
Thanks for the great...
GREAT! She has it in all caps.
Love you guys.
You know, I think she loves you more than she loves me, though.
Well, it's probably for good reason.
I'm just saying.
David Middlebrook, Gardentown, Abbards, UK. Wait, wait, wait.
Let me see what you just missed there.
I didn't want to blow that up.
Gardentown, Aberdeenshire.
Yeah, Aberdeenshire.
Aberdeenshire.
50 bucks.
Andrew Sawyer, Vancouver, B.C. And Joseph in Eureka, California.
$50.
It's a donation for his brother Isaac.
Yeah, we'll do that in a moment.
If you will do that in a moment.
And finally, a couple more.
Ryan Thompson, Fort Collins, Colorado.
You missed Lisa.
Oh, I'm sorry, Lisa.
Lisa Lang, Fitzroy, North Victoria, Australia.
It's a $50.
How much do you think people in Australia despise it whenever someone says something about Australia and does that stupid Australian accent?
I don't think they give a crap.
I think they hate it.
Nah, Australians don't seem to hate anything.
And they all go, good day, mate!
And I'm sure they're like, oh, douchebag.
Or like when someone's from Canada and Americans go, eh...
I go to Canada all the time and say A constantly and they think it's great.
Really?
When's the last time you were in Canada?
You haven't been in Canada since we've been doing this show.
I go to Canada.
I'm slipping into Canada tomorrow.
Bradley, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
$50.
Due to my budget, I will probably never become a No Agenda Knight.
I may never become an executive producer.
But now I can probably say that I'm a No Agenda 1 percenter.
I finally made a...
We got that...
A meme.
A one percenter.
I sense a meme.
Yeah, I do too.
A one percenter.
I have finally made a donation and became part of the 1% of listeners that help support the show at whatever giving level they can afford.
Thank you for all your hard work in creating such a great show.
Thank you, Bradley.
1% are Brad.
And finally, Bobby Burden, another newbie out there.
Cleveland, Tennessee.
I didn't know there was a Cleveland, Tennessee.
Hello in the morning.
I'm donating to dedouchification.
For who?
Him.
For himself?
Oh, okay.
You've been de-douched.
Hold on.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Dvorak and Celestial being curry, I need karma.
Could you read that again?
Because your plug keeps bopping out.
Read that again.
I am an out-of-work Pearl programmer and need some work, so please, demigod Dvorak and celestial being curry, I need karma.
Alright, watch this.
Watch the job come.
Watch it happen.
You've got karma.
It happens.
It can happen.
Wait, in fact, I'll give you a little...
Ooh, that was nice timing.
Good job on that.
Alright, so that's, is that it?
Does that wrap it up for the donations?
Yeah, that's it.
For the donations?
Okay.
Good news.
It's your birthday, birthday!
Where?
On No Agenda!
Only one, but we haven't had birthdays in a while, and this is from Joseph Lamb saying very happy birthday to his brother Isaac Lamb from him and all of your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
And I think we should sharpen them up there, John.
I got the big one.
We need that.
That's very good.
Because we need to invite Dame Tanya to step forward.
You know, she likes you a little bit more.
Maybe you should do the knighting of Dame Tanya.
We can't step away from tradition.
You may continue.
Okay.
Dame Tanya, you have now, coming up to the sufficient giving level of $2,000, putting you in a very exclusive club.
You are now twice the dame you were before.
Dame Tanya, once again, dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please join the Knights and the other dames.
They're happy to have you there once again, and we're very happy to have you as well.
And Dvorak.org slash NA is where you can support the show, or channel Dvorak.com slash NA, or if you're completely confused and can't remember that, go to NoAgendaShow.com and you'll find the links there.
And don't forget we got 1-11-11 coming up in a couple of days and encourage everybody to kind of get this set themselves up with the various Fields of cosmic energies that will be created magically on that day.
Well, there's a couple things going on.
One, and there's a link in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
And for those of you on the $33 mothership boarding pass, you're going to be pretty happy when you see this because the mothership was stationary above Lima, Peru for about half an hour.
And it's on video multiple times.
So you can go take a look at that.
It's big.
And lots of blinking lights on it, too.
All over the Peruvian news in the past couple days.
Of course, obfuscated by the tragedy in Tucson.
Now, what was this?
This is the mothership.
The mothership is here.
It's in Lima, Peru.
It was hanging above...
What's it doing in Lima, Peru?
Are they looking for blankets?
Do they need some warm wool blankets?
What would you go there for?
I don't know.
I mean, they should be coming over here.
But maybe they just...
Maybe they took a...
Blankets.
I'm telling you, I always tell people when you go to Peru, and you can get...
Most of the blankets are handmade, but you can get blankets.
The blankets from Peru, especially the baby alpaca blankets, are the best in the world.
We just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Just send your ship over here.
We need you here.
So on the 11th, of course, is...
Oh, thank you, darling.
Mickey and Miss Mickey showing up with a fresh brew here.
Thank you.
Can you receive the show?
Is it working on the app?
Yeah.
On the Pocket No Agenda app?
Love it.
Wait, does Mickey listen to the show on the Pocket No Agenda app?
Yes, she does.
Why doesn't she just sit there and listen to you talk?
Because she's got stuff to do.
She's walking around doing stuff, and she's like a commuter.
She's commuting from one side of the house to the other.
Because of what?
But anyway, she's doing stuff.
I don't know what she does.
I'm doing the show, so I don't know what she does.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
Come here, honey.
I can't hear you.
What are you doing?
Wait a minute.
Now the whole thing broke.
Okay, what do you do?
That's pretty funny.
You do laundry?
Playing housewife?
On Sunday morning.
Ask her if Raphael the pool boy is around when you're doing the show.
I've seen Raphael.
Is Raphael the pool boy around when I'm doing the show?
See, she says.
You know, I had an interesting conversation with her.
We were talking about George Clooney's girlfriend, who, by the way, has...
Because I saw her butt, and I said, hey, it looks like your butt.
And, of course, that was a good call.
But she's like, oh, George Clooney's girlfriend has a whole career of being George Clooney's girlfriend.
I'm like, that's not a very nice thing to say.
She said, that's a huge job.
And I guess she's right.
Yeah, that would be a huge job.
So on Sunday...
Anyway, moving ahead.
So Clooney...
Today, the Sudan starts voting for their...
It's their referendum.
They start today.
And of course, I'm sure that we'll have to have the International Coalition of Ministry of Truth come in and recount the votes.
But apparently, the way it's being done, the way they're voting in Sudan, and this is for the, does the southern Sudan want to be independent?
And of course, the answer is yes.
They've wanted to be independent for 50 years.
There's a picture of one hand and a picture of two hands.
And one hand would be, yes, I want southern Sudan to be independent.
And the two hands is, no, I want it to be united.
And of course, George Clooney is watching via satellites and making sure no one is getting killed.
So we'll see what happens.
Today and tomorrow is the vote.
And George Clooney is on watch.
Nothing to worry about.
Nothing to worry about at all.
Like you know what a stock portfolio is.
Of Clooney?
Yeah, because he's probably got some investments that will skyrocket.
Oh yeah, of course.
Of course.
Something else that hit me, and I was like, oh my gosh.
Do you remember we talked about what the issue was with South Korea and the United States and why we've kind of been embroiled for a while and I told you based upon my uncle, he was ambassador to South Korea.
Remember the whole thing about their beef?
I think you even told me about their beef as well.
You've been to South Korea, have you not?
Oh, numerous times.
Yeah.
So, from what I understand, in Korea, the culture of their beef is very long.
It's a family tradition.
They have cows that are passed on from family member to family member, and they really didn't want...
Can I stop you for a second?
Yes, please.
As you began to introduce this topic, I was kind of baffled thinking that by beef you meant complaint.
No, I meant actual beef, like cow.
Yeah, no, steer meat, yeah.
Right.
We talked about this, right?
Yeah, no, we did because they have a long tradition.
I mean, they're bulgogi and all these...
They have a lot of dishes there that are...
They're big-time beef eaters.
Basically, when you go to a really great Korean restaurant, especially in Korea, you eat beef.
Right.
And they really didn't...
In 2008...
We were trying to get this free trade agreement, and it was about U.S. beef being imported.
And they're like, no, we don't want your beef.
We like our beef.
And I got my cow from my grandfather, and it's from his father.
It's like the Japanese and their rice.
Right, exactly.
So, of course, President Obama gets this free trade agreement done somehow.
I think it was, what was it, like he had North Korea threaten to bomb South Korea or something?
I'm not quite sure what happened, but all of a sudden it showed up.
And then what happens?
So now we have no more tariffs.
U.S. beef can be freely imported.
Oh my gosh!
South Korea has culled over a million heads of livestock to stop foot and mouth disease and bird flu.
Now that to me is just...
Coincidence?
I think not!
I mean...
We get the free trade agreement and then all of a sudden...
Out of the blue, we have to kill millions of animals.
1.2.
Mostly cattle, some pigs as well.
I guess that means they're going to have to buy a little more of their beef than they expected.
Yes.
They weren't stepping up to the plate.
I mean...
We made them an offer and then they refused.
Douchebags, you should have listened the first time we told you.
Just blew me away.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe.
And foot and mouth is one of those things that, you know, it's one of those crazy diseases.
There's all kinds of stuff.
Foot and mouth is, I don't know, there's all kinds of stuff going on.
Sounds like it was, you know, I'm sure the Koreans are suspicious.
You think?
You think?
I would assume, I'm thinking this, because we just recently got a new half a steer, and we're now ordering a...
My wife's on some kick about pork meat is apparently contaminated.
Almost all commercial pork meat is contaminated with some chemicals.
You know it's got worms in it.
I'll get the whole story in so we can talk about it.
Don't you remember, if you put it in Coca-Cola, the worms will come out.
Have you seen the YouTube clip?
I'm sure you have.
I was offered half a cow, by the way.
What?
I was offered half a cow by two of our producers.
Well, you should get it.
Yes, no.
What was the price?
No, free.
Free.
Not only that, but...
Hey, I need some free meat, too, up here.
Uh-uh.
I don't think so.
You don't need any free beef.
No, and they've got like...
I'll be promoting them when I get the whole story.
But we've got to go on a day trip, Miss Mickey and I. Like an overnight trip.
Just make sure you bring some coolers with you or some way of keeping the meat because they're going to have it probably frozen.
Yeah.
But whatever the case is, it's a couple bucks a pound generally at the most.
And...
But it's so much so superior when you get this farm stuff, this natural beef that's done by one person.
They have three cows or three steer.
This large-scale commercial beef that we have is inferior to what you get in Korea.
Well, not anymore because it's dead.
It's buried.
It's completely buried.
No, seriously.
Another example of Americans promoting, you know, we have to come to some conclusions about the quality of our products.
We'd like to brag that we're number one, we're this, we're that, we're great.
You know, our cars have always been second rate.
A lot of them have great designs and they work for a while, but they're essentially second rate.
Many of the products that we make in this country, we make good products to begin with, and then as we scale, they get second rate, and we put up with it.
Well, let's look at this.
We make this program in the United States.
This is good.
This is first rate.
Yeah.
Okay, so that's good.
That's a step up.
We also make other good stuff.
Luckily with the internet, scaling doesn't affect quality.
Right.
I have a clip of something else that we make that is really good that we'll be selling soon to your local authorities.
You want to hear it?
I'm interested.
They're used in the war on terror, but a spy in the sky like this may soon be watching you.
They're called drones, basically unmanned planes equipped with cameras.
This is the drone that Honeywell is selling to the Florida Police Department.
This is a great report.
Although it's off balance, there's only one channel for some reason.
...department in our area bought one.
My name's Charles Belial, I'm from Miami-Dade Police Headquarters with what this is all about, Charles.
Hi, everybody.
Get ready to meet the T-Hawk.
It is drone technology that is being used very similar to what is being used over in Iraq and Afghanistan in the war on terror.
And technology can be very exciting.
Yeah!
Very exciting.
Are you excited, John?
Well, you know, these drones, which have been around for a while, by the way, I've seen them at trade shows for at least almost 10 years, they're not quite the same as the ones being used in Afghanistan.
Not even close.
They're not even close.
They're very small little camera drones.
And they can't shoot.
That's the key.
But here's what the deal is.
They want to introduce these things to the point where people are used to them.
And then they'll bring in the big boys that can shoot you.
You're so on the same track as I am, as usual.
So these are little rinky-dinks that weigh like 40 pounds.
They can only fly for 40 minutes, which, by the way, what?
40 minutes?
I mean, that's like a model airplane.
But it looks exactly...
It is a scaled-down version of the Big Mother.
And when that thing's up in the sky at like 2,000 feet, you won't be able to tell the difference between that one and his big brother, which can shoot...
When that thing's up at 5,000 feet, it'll look like the same thing.
What's more interesting, and of course that's in the report, but it doesn't matter if he wants to play it, is that Honeywell is now getting the FAA clearance to fly this in urban areas.
Yay!
Which is going to be great.
I'm just going to rock.
We've got these drones flying around.
Yeah, that's what we need.
Drones flying around.
This is like a science fiction movie we're living in.
uh yeah yeah yeah so so i got a bad one a I got some real justification, although unfortunately the good human resources don't seem to understand that this is a solidification of what they've been doing for years and it ultimately will wind up, what is the word?
Oh yes, killing you.
is this report that came out from HHS Health and Human Services for the HRs.
The HHS for the HR and the EPA came out with a report and said, hey, you know, this fluoride in the water, it could actually, like, mess your teeth up.
So, I've been saying ever since we've been doing this show that fluoride in the water is a joke that is for your teeth.
In fact, it does exactly what this report says.
You're being over-fluoridated and it actually creates brown spots on your teeth.
But of course, what it's really meant for is to pacify you, to keep you a calm and docile and distracted slave.
And the reason why I know this works is because it's in the literature.
We read the books.
The CIA used this in camps.
They still do it.
They fluoridate the water and everyone's like, hey, hey dude, come on by.
So now they're saying, oh, there's too much fluoride in the water.
We have to go to the lower limit, which is 0.7 parts per million or something.
I have the report here.
You have no response to this, John?
No, I was actually surprised that you brought it up.
Really?
Yeah, because it's just like, you know, I don't know, I thought it was interesting.
It's kind of a cliché.
I think the whole point of what it is is like, so now we're going to be guaranteed to have the fluoride in the water.
Now it's like, well, you know what, we've figured it all out.
Now it just has to be 0.7 instead of 1.2.
So now everyone's going to get it.
That's the way I see it.
That could be.
Congratulations, you're just going to get it for sure.
So, alright.
It's Keith and Jeff, by the way, who, in the Santa Ina Valley, who have the half a cow for me.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Santa Inaz Valley?
Yeah, whatever.
And they're giving us a freedom...
I-N-E-Z is Inaz?
Yes.
How did you pronounce it?
Inaz?
Santa Inez Valley.
Half a cow butchered and ready for freezing, grass-fed, non-GMO. A free room at Fess Parker's Wine Country Inn in Los Olivos.
Yeah, it's a good winery.
Two free tastings at the winery.
Two free wine or beer tastings at Bin 2860.
Two free tastings at Sarlouis and Sons.
You're going to have a nice little day, a nice day trip.
And in exchange, the only thing they want is to have the title of Stewards of Gitmo Nation.
Oh.
Well, what do I get out of it?
I'm sure if you want half a cow, then they'll be happy to facilitate you.
Half a cow for the steward.
Well, okay, listen, we'll talk about this in a meeting.
Oh, Keith and Jeff, you're screwed.
If we've got to have a meeting, it'll never happen, dudes.
It's all over.
It'll never happen.
Give them the steward thing.
Steward.
I think it's worth it.
Well, yeah, anything to get you off of that Safeway beef.
Safeway?
Safeway beef?
Give me a break.
It's only if you throw it on the frying pan and green ooze comes out.
Yeah, then it's not good.
Algeria is erupting in violence over food prices.
This is the first, I think, the first real food riots that are taking place in the world.
Yeah, well, commodity prices, even though that doesn't seem to be affecting inflation according to the official government numbers, are just completely out of control.
The food prices are just skyrocketing.
Yeah, this report – Worldwide.
Yeah, China and India, double-digit food inflation.
The Kenyan government has issued a drought and famine alert after several people have died from hunger-related causes.
I love that.
Hunger-related.
It's like, you starve.
Okay, it's hunger-related.
It's starvation.
The real word.
They died of starvation.
No, it's hunger-related causes, John.
Are you crazy?
International organizations are talking of food price shock hitting the world.
Wow.
Wow.
The FAO, what is that?
The Food Administration something office?
No.
I don't know what the FAO is.
It's probably a UN... Let's look it up.
It's just FAO. I mean, come on.
Let me do it.
Go ahead.
Keep talking.
The FAO announced on...
I think it's a UN division.
Announced that its Food Price Index jumped...
Food and Agricultural Organization.
...of the United Nations...
Guarantee you.
Yep.
Because those guys track it because they're in charge of all that.
By the way, I want to compliment you for that.
I didn't mention on the Thursday show, but that clip from that John Birch Society guy was outstanding.
The guy who was a crackpot back in his day?
It was a crackpot in the 60s, and now he sounds more mainstream than Glenn Beck.
So, great.
So we know what I have to look forward to when I'm dead and someone's playing my YouTube clip.
They're going to say, well, that guy seems like kind of a liberal.
Kind of.
He must have been run by the Democrats.
FAO announced on Wednesday its food price index had jumped to 214.7 points from the peak of 213, whatever the hell that means.
Prices of sugar and meat are their highest since its records began in 1990.
World Bank president, who of course are going...
Wow.
Robert Zulik urged governments in a newspaper opinion column to avoid protectionist measures as food prices rise and called upon the group of 20 leading economies to take steps to make sure the poor get adequate food supply.
Right.
Code for let him die.
Yeah.
Of hunger-related diseases.
We laugh, but it's only because it's not that funny.
I had something else.
Oh, I had a crazy clip about one of these crazy-ass antidepressants that they're not supposed to give to kids, but they are.
Let me see what the name is.
The off-label.
Yeah, we were talking about that the other day, the off-label stuff.
Let's see if I can find the clip.
Yeah, Risperdal.
R-I-S-P-E-R-D-A-L, Risperdal.
Yeah.
And they give it to kids as an antidepressant, but it's only meant for adults.
And it has some interesting side effects.
Probably side effects that are enjoyed at the Pentagon.
It's the psychiatry drugs that actually are turning out to be the number one problem.
Causing diabetes, pancreatitis, boys to grow breasts.
Did you know that?
Hello, boys growing breasts.
And you've got to see this video.
It's disturbing.
We have, at this time, approximately 50 children and teenagers who have developed gynecomastia, which is growing breasts as a result of Risperdal.
Even though the FDA approved the drug only for adult patients who are psychotic, doctors widely prescribed it to kids for less severe behavior problems.
It's a very, very powerful drug.
Our clients who have gynecomastia and the consumers that do not have it or the little boys that have not come to us yet, the effects of gynecomastia are immense.
These are a couple of lawyers who are looking to mount a big lawsuit.
Of course, that's why they're on TV, but it's pretty disturbing.
And of course, It says in the disclaimer, you know, you can get gastio-moidio mux, whatever it is.
If they just put, like, you may grow boobs, I think people would, you know, think twice about it.
That would stop people from taking it.
But it's horrible.
It's horrible.
Talking about drugs and their weird effects, do you note, one of the things that was, just going back to our original story about the shooting of Giffords.
You mean the judge who was killed?
Yeah.
Well, I'm not buying the judge thing.
I think that was just a coincidence, personally.
Because there was no evidence that anyone knew he was going to be there.
But anyway, beside the point, the guy, the kid who did the shooting...
Yeah, the reporting is so on track, yeah.
Well, it could be bullshit, but I'm just saying, I'm not buying it.
The kid who did the shooting did make a comment in one of his YouTube videos that he was a sleepwalker.
Right, well, that's where the MKUltra comes from.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just wanted to mention that.
Yeah, yeah, no, thank you.
Thank you very much.
He said he was a sleepwalker.
Wow, and I didn't expect you to mention that, and I actually put a, not to mention on the show, but it's in the show notes.
I have a heading, MKUltra, which discusses exactly that.
He says he was walking unconscious or something like that.
The whole thing is weird.
Can we just leave it be tragedy in Tucson?
What I found to be interesting, two articles, one from the Seattle Times, one from the New York Times, regarding the, of course this is a story that has been snowed under, the naked body scanners from the TSA. Seattle Times says the amount of radiation generated by a properly calibrated full-body device in a typical 15-second scan is equal to about an hour of normal background radiation,
the TSA says.
Yeah.
So that's bullcrap.
240 times.
Let's get some tests.
New York Times, two other patients were overdosed before the hospital realized that the device, a linear accelerator, had inexplicably allowed radiation to spill outside a heavy metal cone attachment that was supposed to channel the beam to a specific spot in the brain.
This happened a month later at the same hospital.
These are radiation devices.
They're not being operated by the ones at the airports.
They're not being operated by professionals.
Yeah, and even the professionals screw it up.
Exactly.
So I'm going, I'm leaving from Las Vegas.
Make sure you show up two hours before...
It took me ten minutes to get through security.
I had to sit at the airport for an hour.
So anyway, so I'm going through, and I took the, you know, I went through the metal detector, but there was a radiation device.
Did you opt out, or you just didn't have to go?
No, no, I just, I got in the right line.
I didn't have to opt out.
Oh, good.
I would have opted out, but I didn't have to.
Oh, good.
I could have gotten in the other line.
Well, wait a minute.
But you're a terrorist.
How come you're suspected?
How come you just get through?
What is that?
No, I'm not a terrorist.
So they're profiling?
Is that what you're saying?
I do not subscribe to WikiLeaks' Twitter feed.
Those 600,000 terrorists who subscribe to WikiLeaks' feed, they're the ones that I have to x-ray.
I'm fine.
Let me check and see if I'm actually following them.
I think I am.
See, now you may have been full of crap.
No.
Now you're worried.
Yes, I'm...
Are you kidding me?
You worried yourself with the commentary.
That's funny.
Okay, so anyway, so I'm going through, but they have the thing there, and there's some woman that works for the TSA, and they're just barking out a lot of, ah, take your shoes off, take your belts off, if you're going through...
Put it in the bed!
Take it out!
Water!
Like that?
Yeah.
And so this woman, this one TSA woman, is standing in front of the machine the whole time.
And when somebody gets in, she goes back and stands there.
It's like she's guarding the gate into the...
This is one of the round machines that looks like a tube, as opposed to the backscatter machine that has the...
Right.
This is the one that spins around.
Yeah, this is the one that's...
Crap.
I am following WikiLeaks.
Crap.
You're doomed.
So anyway, so she's kept standing.
I'm thinking, how much radiation, spurious radiation is this woman receiving on a daily basis?
She has to stand right there, right up against the machine constantly.
Yeah, tons.
That whole area must just be loaded with spurious x-rays.
You've got x-rays doing your suitcase.
I had some idiot, some trainee who looked like she had an IQ of close to 70.
Now, now.
And couldn't see anything.
So I had to wait forever to get my bag through.
And then this woman, and she's pounding the button on the x-ray, making it go harder.
You push a button.
Need more power.
Put more power.
More power.
My suitcase comes through with smoke coming out.
That's how much power they have.
Put more power on it.
If only I could get the lithium crystals, it would be better.
Anyway.
So a quick trip around Gitmo Nation, John?
Just to see what's going on all around these states of Gitmo?
Before we take our quick trip, I do have a couple of clips I wanted to get out of the way.
Oh, sure.
I'd love to hear some clips.
Because we're talking about some of the basic changes that are taking place in the psyche.
Of the listening public.
And I brought this up on the last show.
I didn't have a clip about how Joy Behar, for example, has got the...
Oh, there's no proof that the tax...
She's on Twitter, by the way.
I'm following her, too.
Ah, well, make her follow her.
I deserve to be picked up for that.
The WikiLeaks thing is one thing, but actually following Joy Behar should be illegal.
So I ran into – so I'm starting to see – here's what I want people to listen out for and send me some examples of a blatant and basic anti-capitalist approach to area.
In other words, we should get rid of capitalism completely.
It's a bad system.
I don't know what they want to replace it with, but this is showing up all over the place.
I've got two clips that have anti-capitalist rants.
One came from CNBC World, which is the anti-capitalist rant clip.
And then I have...
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, it's The Communist on CNBC. Which one do you want first?
The Communist on CNBC. He actually wrote a book called Endarkenment, which is really funny because it's supposed to be like the opposite of enlightenment.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
Just play a little bit where he starts getting into is the system's no good.
We got to change it.
And the CNBC guys are just, oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
They're not asking any questions.
Who is this guy?
What's his name?
Who is he?
Well, he's the guy who wrote this book in Darkenman.
Now you have to look it up.
Okay.
But the point is that they don't question this guy.
I mean, it's just ridiculous that this guy comes out with this rant and nobody says anything.
Well, maybe the book is being published by a GE subsidiary or something, and you need to shut up and just plug the book.
Squawk Asia on a Tuesday morning.
We're back with Graham Axton, our guest host, chief congressman at the Insight Bureau.
Oh, this is the douchebag who asked Sanderson what it was like.
What does it feel like to be a billionaire?
Does it feel good?
Does it give you wood?
That's this guy, right?
Uh, maybe.
Yeah, that's this guy.
Still with us around the desk here at the SGX. And during the break, we were starting to talk about this book you're working on, a new one, From Enlightenment to Endarkenment, a term which you coined.
What's it about?
Yeah.
He's British, that's why.
You get instant cred.
Oh, he's British.
He speaks with a British accent, so he must be intellectual.
Interesting.
We've created That's a very interesting use of words.
We've created it.
Yes, someone did create it.
It's not going to last for perhaps 20 years.
We're scraping the planet clean of resources.
We're not going to have enough oil or coal or water or gas in the next few decades.
So we're killing ourselves.
We're killing ourselves.
We're moving backwards.
And, you know, we're heading to the dark ages if we don't turn around.
So do we need an alternative to the market economy, to capitalism?
Yes, I mean, I think a lot of this is caused by...
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Come on, John.
You watch this interview?
I want you to notice the guy who asked that question is a CNBC guy?
Yeah, he's just out of the blue.
Oh, so let's just get to the point of your book.
I mean, that was promotion.
The point, it may be promotion, but the point is, why would a CNBC guy say, we need to get rid of capitalism?
Right, because it's, well, who knows?
You know what?
Oh, I don't play any more of that clip.
No, I want to hear this clip.
This is not, you've got my interest, because something is going on with CNBC, and they've got an agenda to promote, and they're using...
And that's General Electric, by the way.
Yeah, and this guy is part of it.
No, I'm interested now.
In the next few decades...
We're killing ourselves.
We're moving backwards.
And, you know, we're heading to the Dark Ages if we don't turn around.
So do we need an alternative to the market economy, to capitalism?
Yes.
I mean, I think a lot of this is caused by economics.
Economics has got it wrong.
We've been following this idea of laissez-faire, the invisible hand, and free market economics without any restraint.
And it was a failure of regulation that caused the financial crisis a few years ago.
It's a failure of the market that we can buy oil for $93 a barrel today when it should cost perhaps $900 a barrel.
If you look at the environmental cost, if you look at the cost on future generations of it not being there, we're paying far less than we should be for our commodities.
And that will eventually correct itself.
What about survival instinct?
What about evolution 2011?
We're here because, ostensibly, if you believe Darwin, we're the best of the breed.
Okay?
If you believe Darwin?
Oh, come on.
Hold on a second.
I just gotta shoot myself here for a second.
Whoa.
It jammed.
Yeah, the jam.
The gun jammed.
Let me try that again.
Now it worked.
There you go.
Yeah, through and through.
Do you want more of this?
Well, no, it gets worse.
But anyway, the point is...
Should we listen to it?
Because that's funny.
Go ahead.
You seem to be intrigued by this bull crap.
By the way, I was having dinner in a restaurant here in L.A., and you know who was at the table right behind me?
Stephen Hawkins.
No.
Yeah.
Does he live in L.A.? I didn't think so, right?
No, he lives in England.
He teaches at Cambridge.
He was at La Mondrian Hotel.
We were having a dinner at Asia to Cuba.
Did you go over and ask for his autograph?
No.
It was the weirdest thing.
We were there with two guests.
Mick and I had taken two guests out to dinner.
I said, dude, it's behind you right there.
I'm looking right at their table.
I think it's Stephen Hawkins.
I said, absolutely.
It was a group of young people.
It looked like maybe students.
It was like a meet and greet.
It was a tweet up.
It was.
It's like a meet and greet.
And he has this kind of attractive, heavyset, blonde girl.
He always has a good looking woman with him.
Yeah.
And it's kind of weird though because she's feeding him and the way she does it, she holds onto the top of his head And then pulls his head back a little bit and his mouth kind of falls open and she shoves the mush in there, which is weird.
And it's kind of sad to see him as one of the most brilliant minds in the universe with mush dribbling over his chin and out of the sides of his mouth and was just kind of weird.
Life's weird irony.
It really is.
I'm surprised you didn't try to capture that with your iPhone.
Well, no.
Because I'm just like...
Because Mickey was saying, hey, you should go over there and take a picture with him.
Like, no, that's...
I don't want to be like a total...
I know, it's borderline.
I don't want to be a dude.
Like, I admire your work.
I love your work, man.
Like I've ever read a whole book of yours.
It's like impossible.
But I felt like it.
Yeah, you were in the douchebag zone.
I was very close to being in the douchebag zone.
And then, you know, so we left and we walk out and then Mickey was like, she's horrible.
And I said, wow, you know, and I actually mentioned, I said, that's kind of weird, you know, to see all the goop dribbling out of his mouth.
He said, yeah, but he winked at me.
I'm like, bullshit.
What?
He probably did.
I think he did, too.
He winked at Mickey.
And when he winked, his chair turned left.
Ow!
It's not for you!
But anyway, it was weird.
Something she can write in her memoirs.
It was a brush with greatness.
As it were.
Alright, back to some other douchebag here in London.
We can't figure this out?
Why are we killing ourselves?
Why are we killing ourselves?
John, good morning in the morning to you, John.
Can I ask you a question?
Why are we killing ourselves?
Oh, it's terrible.
Peak oil.
By the way, new term to look out for everybody out there.
Peak water.
Oh, peak water.
Oh, nice.
Peak water.
Wow.
Prediction book.
I got that on a couple of shows.
Yeah, good one.
I'm interested in this clip.
I want to listen to some more.
We've been seduced by this idea that we can have it all.
We can have it all today.
We don't have to worry about how much we borrow.
We don't have to worry about how many resources we use, about what we do to the planet in terms of emptying the sea of fish or polluting the skies.
Is this a recent phenomenon?
Because you look back one and a half, maybe two generations, our grandparents were very different, very fiscally conservative, saving, saving, saving.
We didn't have credit cards in those days.
It started at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s.
Oh, before I forget, The Kardashians, their credit card, they're being sued by the credit card company.
They walked away from the deal even though they signed the contract.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And they said, well, we don't want to be a part of that predator.
Because, you know, they heard us, obviously, talking about all the fees and everything and how these poor kids are going to get screwed on their stupid Kardashian credit card.
I always imagine that the Kardashians listen to us religiously.
While they're in the gym.
I'm telling you, they're in Equinox, and they're in the gym, and they're listening to No Agenda.
With Ronald Reagan.
And they're digging this whole peak water thing.
Margaret Thatcher and Milton Friedman, their whole idea is of pushing the free market.
And we've led this life where we've borrowed too much, we've consumed too much, and now we're at a tipping point.
And unless we change what we're doing, then the whole of humankind is going to move in the wrong direction.
And part of this is the rise of China as well, which is added to the...
The statist Chinese model, red capitalism, if you want to call it that, that's not sustainable either.
No, but actually I think over the short term, the Chinese model is likely to prove stronger than the Western model.
Because...
Okay, let me just call bullshit on that.
If you go to the show notes...
NoagendaShow.com, you will see the ghost cities of China.
Have you seen this, John?
Oh, I want to visit a couple of these places.
Well, there's tons of them.
There's tons of them, and they're just fascinating.
They're beautiful.
It's like, let me see, what's the name of this?
BusinessInsider.com has satellite images and close-ups of these 20 cities being built every single year, and no one's in them.
No, they're dead empty.
But there's like beautiful structures.
I want to see one of them because I wonder how true these stories are.
Oh my God.
I mean, it's a believable story that there's these cities because the Chinese love building stuff.
They love building stuff in shiny packages that we buy, typically.
They just like making things.
It's amazing.
I have to get that verified, though.
Well, these satellite pictures look really convincing.
The Zhengzhou New District.
Empty towers, empty streets.
It's in the show notes, John.
Noagendershow.com.
Certainly you've heard of the site.
You don't have to listen.
I like this guy.
I want to hear him.
I'm getting good material from him.
These companies don't have to make a profit.
Isn't China a large part of the problem?
An economy this size, this scale, growing at 10% a year.
This is a hungry beast that needs to be fed.
No, for sure.
I know there are people in Washington who wish that China would just go away.
Because, of course, they're competing for resources today, and they're competing for all sorts of other economic factors as well.
And, yes, China, 1.3, 1.4 billion people that need resources, that need food, that need water, that need oil.
The rise of China has certainly accelerated this problem.
But, of course, that's here, and that's a fact now, and we have to somehow manage ourselves around that.
We need basically to reform our economic system, which is what the book's about.
Okay, I'll tell you what.
Reforms then.
What are the alternatives?
Well, we have to, I think, move away from completely under-regulated markets.
We have to start regulating much more.
But isn't this such an old story?
Doesn't this guy know by now that these so-called unregulated markets are BS? It's corrupt and it's crooked?
I mean, is everyone stupid?
No, the regulated markets are corrupt.
They're all corrupt.
They're all corrupt.
But I mean, the guy is basically saying there was no oversight.
You know, it's like completely the laissez-faire oversight that didn't work.
Yeah, it was just corrupt.
This is corrupt!
Much more, I think, government intervention.
I think we need to constrain the development of a lot of big corporations, which seem to be taking far more power, which are not democratic institutions.
The phrase big brother starts to creep into my mind.
That doesn't sound good, though.
Well, you People begin to think of communist states, but if you look at countries like Germany or Japan, Japan's a model of economic management, but in terms of social management, in terms of providing welfare for the citizens, these are better social models.
Interesting.
Okay, well, we'll talk to Ray Maxon about Chief Congress at the end.
Interesting.
How interesting.
All right, why don't you blow me, prick.
So we have the, you know, kind of hoity-toity anti-capitalist rant.
So I'm flipping around.
I catch Joy Behar interviewing Roseanne Barr.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Roseanne Barr.
Two of your favorites.
Who wants to be president.
And so Roseanne, but yeah, this is the reason she's on the show, but she starts, she does an anti-cap, at first I thought she was going to be a big defender of capitalism, the way she presents it, and then she goes on and tells it what she really feels, and here's a woman who's made millions and millions and millions of dollars on her...
Basically, through a capitalistic system.
And listen to the anti-capitalist rant here.
And Behar, of course, listens to this crap without saying anything critical.
When, meanwhile, she goes on and on about anyone who says anything about global warming being...
You know, she just blasts...
Behar is a disgusting person, generally speaking.
She's just ridiculous.
But this is...
Quite amusing.
Wait until Piers Morgan comes on CNN. You think Piers Morgan is going to be the worst?
I hate Reaganomics.
They don't work and it's not a good system.
Okay.
Now you also go after Oprah in your book.
What do you got to get into?
I don't go after Oprah.
You said Oprah has never done a show on capitalism which made her a billionaire and that pisses me off.
It does piss me off.
Well, why?
Because we should have a whole bunch of shows about capitalism right now.
In other words, just because she made a lot of money, she should talk about capitalism?
Yes, absolutely.
Well, you made a lot of money.
You don't talk about capitalism.
The hell if I don't talk about capitalism, Joy, you're wrong again.
My book's all about capitalism and how much it sucks.
What do you think of that?
But when you've made a billion dollars, maybe you don't think it sucks.
Just because you're rich doesn't mean you're...
Why am I screaming?
A capitalist.
Doesn't mean you're horrible.
I've done a lot of good things with my money, Joy.
I know.
And I love it.
I get a big, big thrill in my life, I just have to say this, when I give money to a good cause and I give...
Did she give money to Haiti?
Tell me she gave some money to Haiti, please.
Oh, she had.
Please, tell me you gave to Haiti, Roseanne.
Significant...
I hate that I'm saying this, I'm going to go to hell.
But I give a significant amount of charity, and a lot of rich people do.
I know they do.
A lot of people are real good, and they're not all...
And Oprah's good, too.
But I want her to talk about capitalism, because that's why we're in trouble.
By the way, nice backpedaling pussy.
Oprah's good, too.
She's like, shit, I want to be on Oprah's show.
I just want to talk about capitalism because that's why we're in trouble.
This was exactly what this other asshole said.
Maybe she doesn't feel like it.
She has a new network, so maybe she'll do it over there.
I hope so.
Well, let's hope so.
Okay, now, you're also a big supporter.
Let's hope so.
Okay.
So Roseanne was on a special Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper 360 with Ted Nugent, who also has a book out called Ted White and Blue.
And those two agreed.
Roseanne and Ted Nugent were in agreement with each other on a lot of stuff.
I had to turn it off.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
That's mind-boggling.
It was, yeah.
It was quite mind-boggling.
Like, well, wait until you get to the part where he pours deer urine on himself and goes bow and arrow hunting.
Maybe you're a little different there, but they never got to it.
But they have books to promote.
When you're promoting a book, then it's like you don't make waves and stuff.
I don't know.
It was weird.
Very weird.
You know, it's Anderson.
You don't make problems on Anderson because he's keeping you honest.
Be careful, man.
We've got to get that little clip.
Keeping you honest.
He says it all the time.
Fair and balanced.
Keeping you honest.
All these little buzz phrases.
Ours is the Mavericks of media.
Was it the Maven's?
No, Mavericks.
Mavericks.
The Mavericks of media.
You gotta do your sucking sound.
Wait.
The Mavericks of...
Wait.
Whoa, wait!
Wait, wait.
The Mavericks of media.
So, a quick trip around Gitmo Nation.
Of course, we already talked about the drone and the Commerce Department with Gary Locke, the Chinese spy, getting this cybersecurity ID thing rolling, so keep your eye out on that.
Gitmo Nation East, a fantastic video from Virgin Atlantic.
You have to see this.
You can see it on YouTube.
In this video...
It's got like an all-seeing eye, chemtrails, masonic hand signals, pyramids, five-pointed stars, phallic symbols, and my favorite, people going through the naked body scanner and dancing.
It is amazing.
You have to see this video.
You will crack up.
So they pass by the body scanner and you see them in their underwear and they're like dancing and all happy and stuff.
It's nuts.
Like Richard Branson is New World Order.
Then we have a big story out of Gitmo Nation, Deutschland, where Germany detected illegal dioxin levels in poultry products.
Dioxin, of course, is not good for you, John.
What is a dioxin?
What is it used for?
I don't know if it's used for anything.
I know it's a byproduct of degradation of various types of chemicals, mostly pesticides.
I believe.
Let's see what's useful.
Let me grab the Merck index.
I have...
Dioxins are contaminants that often result from industrial combustion and exposure to them at high levels is linked to an increased incidence of cancer.
Yeah, no, well, it's bad, bad stuff.
So it's been found in eggs, as you would say, eggs.
Eggs.
South Korea, Slovakia have banned the sale of German imports.
Britain found dioxin in their cakes that had eggs from Germany.
Gitmo Nation Lowlands, dioxin from Germany!
So everyone's getting poisoned there, thanks to Gitmo Nation Deutschland.
In the lowlands, by the way, no problem poisoning themselves.
Huge fire just outside of Rotterdam in a chemical factory.
And, of course, everyone was like, oh, don't worry, it's no problem.
Just stay indoors.
The factory housed a large stash of Monsanto's Roundup Ready.
You are so going to die.
Oh, my God.
Yes, we are definitely keeping our eye on the air quality, the official said.
Oh, my God.
It's horrible.
They had this huge poisonous cloud floating over.
Yeah, it's probably no coincidence.
Yeah.
What else happened in the lowlands?
Oh, six of the ten coffee shops will be closing, thanks to the new government.
Coffee shops, of course, is where they don't sell coffee, but where they sell weed.
So that's all over.
Really?
In Amsterdam?
Countrywide, but I have the exact numbers for Amsterdam if you give me a second here.
This is from the People's newspaper.
That's kind of ridiculous.
What's the point?
Well, it's Europe.
We have to harmonize.
We've got to close.
We've got to get rid of it.
You can't have drugs in one country.
And no drugs in the rest.
Why not?
In the United States, because supposedly the EU is a federal system bullcrap, and in the United States we have one state, Nevada, or Nevada, depending on what part of Nevada you're from, which has legalized prostitution statewide where they don't have that anyplace else.
I would not argue with you, but of course that is not really true.
You need to shut up, slave states, shut up, and do what they say in Brussels.
I'm surprised that the Dutch put up with this crap.
Oh, but...
Well, listen, they're breathing Roundup Ready and drinking fluoride.
What do you mean?
Like, what?
What?
And they all went out and got their flu shot.
They're completely drugged.
Except for the human resources on...
Listen to our show.
How many coffee shops do you think Amsterdam has?
I have the number here.
How many did they have?
How many do they have currently that sell weed?
Last time I was there, which was a couple years ago, I can almost remember at least a dozen or more.
All of Amsterdam, it's a lot more than that, obviously.
Well, maybe 50.
223.
Okay, well that's a lot.
According to the new regulation, 187 of them will have to close.
Why?
Why?
Oh, because they're not allowed to have a coffee shop within 350 meters of any school zone.
Huh.
Which is 350 meters, that's like a thousand feet.
I find it hard to believe that 187 of them are within a thousand feet of a school zone.
It's a city.
It's a school zone, maybe.
Yeah, well, it's a city.
And it's all kinds of schools.
And it's like you've got the University of Amsterdam as a school.
They've got all kinds of...
The whole city is a campus.
It's over.
And, of course, they still have the weed credentials.
They call it the weed pass.
To get a passport to go get weeds.
To get your weeds.
ID, please.
Show me your papers.
You can smoke some weed.
So anyway, that's Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
Then we have Gitmo Nation Sweet Butts, which is Brazil.
They just actually launched their new national ID card.
Hey, this kind of blows us moving to Brazil, John.
December 30, 2010, the national ID card from the Civil Identity Registry was launched in Brazil.
The issuance of the new ID cards.
All Brazilians are each registered under a unique national number, which is tattooed on their arms.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I made that up.
Which will avoid registration of individuals in more than one state.
The card will come with a chip containing the person's fingerprints, internal revenue service number, voter card number, information on gender, nationality, date of birth, and...
Photograph signature and the issuing registrar.
The new ID card has 17 security features designed to deter fraud.
Oh, by the way, Gitmo Nation Lowlands almost forgot the biggest news.
Oh my God, I can't believe it.
They now are saying that we need to chip our elderly.
In the lowlands.
Because, you know, they get confused.
And we have to be able to find them.
So they want to set it up so that above a certain age you get chipped.
And sold as beef.
It's half an elderly for you.
Soylent green is people.
It's good.
Yeah, exactly.
It's good to freeze them.
It's just unbelievable.
So that, I think, is the trip around Gitmo Nation.
Then I have one final clip.
I've been waiting to play this for the entire show.
And this...
I think it's actually...
Corroborates my research from the last program we had regarding the dugs and the birds and being crushed in midair and falling to their peril and their deaths in the region.
I love the new theories that are coming out.
Well, this is still my theory.
This is still the harp theory.
This is not a new theory.
Yeah, which you should have brought up the first time, but you know.
Well, excuse me for like having to go through all the disinformation.
By the way, have you heard the bad eyesight theory?
No.
They didn't eat enough carrots?
What is it?
Basically, it goes like this.
Apparently, they have red-winged blackbirds in particular.
They have kill-offs constantly.
Because they fly in a very tight formation because they have bad eyesight.
They can barely see anything.
And the leader bird...
Who's leading the way sometimes gets confused and he'll run into the side of a mountain and all the birds will follow him right in, kind of like the Thunderbirds Air Force jets when they crash every so often.
And they can't stop themselves and so it's like lemmings.
This happens apparently a lot with blackbirds or with red-winged blackbirds in particular.
They have bad eyesight.
Right.
Right.
Perhaps because of...
And then again, perhaps not.
Anyway, so I kind of went back to the harp thing because of the New Madrid fault and my belief that in May...
Somewhere.
That's when we have the National Level Exercise 2011, which surrounds the New Madrid Fault, which is right there in Beebe, Arkansas, Louisiana.
This triangle where these birds all fell out of the sky.
Because I think that Harp was cranking up and the birds basically ran into the force field of Harp and they got crushed.
Here's a little news report which comes from KTHV, Little Rock, Arkansas, everybody in the morning to you, that corroborates my theory.
...in several parts of the world are still making headlines.
The bird kill in Arkansas is on almost everyone's radar.
No, literally, it actually shows up on radar.
New at 10 tonight, KTHV's Lauren Clark joins us now to explain.
Lauren?
Well, as today our own Ed Buckner pointed out an interesting image from the radar screen taken New Year's Eve above Beebe when the birds fell.
We took it to the National Weather Service in North Little Rock to see if they could give any more information about the spot.
By the way, this is local news, which really sucks.
So it's kind of like...
There are some indications that we're picking up a non-precipitation target.
It has some similarities to, say, like a collection of birds.
This radar image is from around 10 p.m.
New Year's Eve.
Science and operations officer at the National Weather Service, Chris Bonanno, tells us Arkansas had lots of busy weather that particular night, but nothing after sunset.
What you're seeing on the screen is this big blotch, stationary blotch, right in the area where the birds, the dugs, were crushed.
And it's not moving, it's just a stationary big spot on the radar.
It's not uncommon to see actually birds on the radar, especially in the spring and the summertime.
He estimates this spot to be between 1,300 and 1,400 feet above ground and points out how it doesn't move as most clouds or rainstorms would.
When you see higher activities, that's an indication of a stronger or higher energy being returned to the radar.
Ooh, higher energy being to return to the radar.
So higher than it's sent out.
John, how is that possible, do you think?
So there's higher energy returning from the radar than was sent out.
What could that be?
And where's that radar?
What's that?
The birds have radar.
Oh, the birds have radar.
Usually these higher reflectivities indicate very heavy rain or perhaps hail.
And the bright color is just too strong to blame it on bugs or smoke.
But Arkansas Game and Fish officials say witnesses told them the birds were flying low that night, hitting everything from cars to mailboxes.
That's your lead bird theory.
I hit a mailbox!
So while we know what it's not, the National Weather Service cannot definitively say what it is.
Okay, so it's not precipitation, it's not birds or bugs, it's not smoke, it's returning higher energy than the radar sending off.
And the weather service here in Lorant even fielded a call from a TV station in Germany about this radar image.
Liz?
Very interesting, Lauren.
Now listen to her comeback.
Very interesting, Lauren.
That's really phenomenal.
Now let's just wrap it all up.
Thank you.
We'll be talking about this topic more on our shows tomorrow on today's THV This Morning at 6.45 a.m.
Arkansas game and fish biologist Karen Rowe explains why they say a loud noise like from fireworks is to blame.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
They just dropped it.
Yeah.
It's like, it's fireworks!
It kills me.
Funny enough, you want like a crazy number thing?
Oh, why not?
Yeah, remember that clip I played of the Be Informed, Be Ready, Have a Plan?
Right, the bogus...
Oh, you never let me tell my earthquake story.
Yeah, well, you can tell it right after I do this.
So, they've got a couple of these PSAs.
In the video of them, I think we talked about this one, your world is turned upside down.
And you see this whole family, and they're floating upside down.
I guess the house turned upside down.
And the clock says 5-11, which would be May 11, which is exactly the date of the NLE, 2011!
The what?
The national level exercise is on 5-11.
Oh!
That's cute.
That's a bit of a stretch.
Yeah.
So why don't you...
No, I mean, it's really a stretch.
That's the crackpot in you.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just saying.
I got in the show notes, for those of you who would like to go check it out, we've got a whole bunch of Haiti stories, which we didn't get to.
Of course, news about Louisiana being completely oil-contaminated still, which no one is talking about.
Why would we?
Because we've got tragedy in Tucson.
Yeah.
Thank you.
We've got 3,500 impaired drivers trapped in Seattle.
You're in the neck of the woods there.
We have great research from our Minuteman.
What's our Minuteman?
I can't remember.
I left out his name.
On the mystery missiles.
Also, Minuteman research on HAARP. There's all kinds of groovy stuff in these show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
That's part of why you actually support this show is because of these show notes.
It's a great resource.
If you use the show notes, which a lot of students should, because it's great stuff to drive people crazy, especially with papers that incorporate some of this information, which is all public information.
We're not writing these stories.
God forbid!
No, we do this show and we're based on other people's work.
We're actually a meta show, which is kind of shocking because you think somebody else could do this sort of work, but apparently nobody's interested.
It's too hard to go to Wikipedia.
It's too hard to look things up.
Well, what has happened, though, which these other shows don't have, is we have a relatively large community of people who are awake and watching and not drinking the fluoride.
And by the way, you can get tons of non-fluoridated toothpaste.
It is available.
I suggest you use that.
And they're looking at stuff, and they're picking it up, and they're sending it in, which is why we have to go through hundreds of news stories and watch C-SPAN, so you don't have to.
Magic numbers.
A wife of convicted felon Thomas Parenteau, sentenced in Ohio to 33 months in prison.
Bed shortages in Northern Ireland hospitals, 33 people die of bird flu.
And 33 women raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
33?
33.
33 women raped in the Congo.
Yep.
Why are they toying with us?
I don't know.
I don't know.
And of course we still anxiously await who is going to be the new spokeshole for the president with Robert Gibbs gone.
Can't wait to see who shows up.
They're thinking it's going to be a journalist.
No.
Yeah, that's what they're saying.
It's like it probably is going to be an established journalist who has a good rapport with the Ministry of Truth.
It's true.
Well, that could be anyone.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see.
Did you want to do your earthquake story before we leave?
Nah, I'll do it next time.
Really?
Are you sure?
Because I'm happy.
Well, all I was going to say when it was pertinent was that this bull crap, and you hear all these other...
There's a lot of podcasts, and there's a lot of TV shows with the...
Oh, get your supply of food and water just in case a disaster happens, like an earthquake.
And I'm always thinking...
So let's say we have a massive 10-point quake here in northern Silicon Valley and it just knocks everything out for a while.
Let's say it's going to take weeks to fix.
Why don't you just get in your car and go to Reno?
Check into a hotel and gamble a little bit and buy your food up there.
I mean, I don't get it.
What are you supposed to do?
Stay here?
You always told us, and Mickey remembers it, but I remember you told her where to go.
You said, if something happens, get in your car and go, and I forgot where it was, like Sacramento?
Sacramento, right.
You said, go to Sacramento.
She's always remembered that.
She's like, if something happens, I'm driving us to Sacramento.
Well, from where you are, you can go to Palm Springs.
Right, to the desert.
It'd be beautiful there.
Which is where I'd go if I was in Southern California.
Just get in the car.
Because nobody's going to...
I mean, the bridge might be down or something.
It might be a little...
I may have to take a back road.
But just leave town.
What do you want to...
What's your problem?
Instead, you're going to have a bunch of stuff in your basement.
Who cares?
And you're going to eat a bunch of dried food in the dark.
Because, you know, you're...
What's the point?
It's pointless.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah.
Alright, everybody.
Enjoy the rest of your week with Tragedy in Tucson.
And your Mavericks of Media will return on Thursday for another No Agenda show.
And throughout the week, of course, we'll be working on the No Agenda stream, noagendastream.com.
There's a lot to work out, but it's turning into a pretty excellent resource to listen to.
John, while you were in Vegas at CES, were there any car radios with, like, Wireless reception?
Not that I saw.
I mean, there might be.
I didn't go to that section of the show.
Internet TV, Internet TV. What about Internet radio?
Yeah, I know they've got to get up to speed on this stuff, that's for sure.
The human resources are there doing it, that's for sure.
I'm coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center where I have plenty of storable food.
I am Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where it's more than cold, it's chilly.
I'm John C. Devorak.
