Enjoying my Sputnik moment here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gidmore Nation West, in the People's Republic of Southern California.
Yay, in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it appears as if, excuse me, spring has sprung, but it hasn't really.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Think after all the time we spend getting ready to go hit it, that you'd clear your throat.
My throat is, I've got the congestion.
You know, it's like I pee, we had the fat bitch singing, we've got all kinds of stuff going on.
It's like, ugh!
You've had some throat issues for a while.
You know, and the other thing is like now, it's like it speaks up on you.
Yeah, it's...
Is that what I have to look forward to?
Is that what happens?
Is that what it becomes of you?
Sorry?
Never mind.
In the morning, John.
In the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships of sea, feet on the ground and feet rolling up on shore.
Right.
Let's say boots on the ground, wings in the skies, foots in the oceans, checks in the mail, bakers in the kitchens, dung in the pit, astronauts manning the moon and Mars base stations, hams on the air, and human resources everywhere.
And, of course, those in the chatroom, noagendastream.com, all charged up and ready to go exactly the way their government loves them.
And we're happy to see y'all.
And the stream seems to be, I guess we're in business now.
Good.
There's only like a million human resources working on it, which is awesome.
So it seems as if there was a piece of news this week.
Really?
There was?
Yeah.
What was it?
Some guy named Obama gave a speech.
Oh, that guy.
Right.
Yeah, so just so people understand, here's how it works.
John and I never speak to each other, ever, in between shows.
But you know that, you know, I know that you're watching the State of the Union address.
For those of you who don't know what happened, our president does, it's supposed to be at least once a year.
I think he does it once a year.
Thank you, my love.
You're welcome.
John says, you're welcome.
So he does a speech and he tells us about the state of our union.
It's like how we're doing.
It's like how we're doing.
But instead he gave a campaign speech.
Yes, he did.
The first thing I know is, did you know that Clarence Thomas doesn't show up for that anymore?
He's a Supreme Court judge.
Well, he's in big trouble.
So I googled it and said, why wasn't Clarence Thomas there?
He didn't show up last time either.
He doesn't show up for the brother.
Which is really weird.
Oh, he's in big trouble.
He's like a federal crime because he didn't report his wife's income or something.
Yeah.
I mean, not to mention the long dong silver thing, which no one seems to bring up anymore.
I don't know.
Why doesn't anyone bring that up?
That was good times.
Yeah, I don't know.
Beyond me.
Beyond me.
It's so obvious.
So the State of the Union...
That was kind of fun.
See, one of our...
So anyway, what I was saying is...
So we don't talk to each other, but then I know John's watching.
John knows I'm watching.
And then we start texting back and forth.
Like a couple of kids.
Seriously.
Like teenagers.
Like, oh brother!
Oh, now he's doing stand-up!
Ah, what is this?
But some interesting things mentioned.
For instance, we're going to have another website.
Yeah, apparently.
They really love putting up websites.
But it was like such a repeat, such a, you know, we're freezing spending, which you promised the last time.
We're going to have a freaking website so we can read everything, which of course was one of the big campaign promises and was a lie.
In fact, while you're at it, let's run the clip, which does a little of this pre-analysis or post-analysis, the John Thune clip, which mentions some of these things, and then we'll go from there.
Remains to be seen.
I mean, what he proposed was a freeze in spending for five years, but remember last year he proposed a three-year freeze in spending, which we never saw.
And there were a lot of things in his speech tonight that were similar to things that he said in his speech a year ago.
He talked about free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia, Panama, and how we needed to get those trade agreements enacted.
I went back and read his speech from last year, and I saw the three years.
Is this CNN? Where's John Thune on?
Thune is a representative from South Dakota on What's-Her-Name show.
Well, that's what I want to know.
Which show was it?
You know, this Fox woman who's had the facelifts.
Oh, Greta.
Greta.
Greta.
I saw the trade agreements.
Why didn't those things happen?
Well, I think part of it is it takes presidential leadership.
And we always said that, you know, don't judge people by what they say, judge them by what they do.
And I think the president says a lot of the right things and rhetorically gets up, and it sounds good.
It sounded good tonight, many of the things that he said.
But the real proof is, does he follow through, and will there be action to support the rhetoric?
Well, no, of course not.
Because he didn't follow through the first time.
He did get his buddy's Facebook and Twitter in there.
That was kind of good.
He put that in there.
And what was it?
By 2035, which John...
What is this?
It's like a wine salesman.
Unfortunately, you may no longer be with us.
By 2035, you might be able to drink it.
Let me see.
Oh, dude.
I mean, I hope you're still with us then, but you may not witness all the electric cars.
You just might not be a part of it, which sucks.
I mean, when you listen to that, it's almost like now that I'm getting older and you have to fill something out on the interwebs and you've got to fill out your birth date and you have to scroll all the way down.
Don't you hate that?
Especially on iPhone, you've got that little wheel for your date, and you've got a...
Ah, 64.
There it is.
It's horrible.
And I'm thinking, 2035, man, I'm going to be 70?
70.
And I'll still be working.
You'll be driving an electric car, kind of like it'll be a golf cart.
And I still won't be retired, because we'll have to continue to work.
No, you won't be retired.
You're going to get screwed.
So, of course, the thing that really pissed me off was a very clever play on words.
Very clever play, but extremely annoying.
As you know, we have completely assassinated the lie that don't ask, don't tell has been repealed.
And everyone's acting like, if you're gay, go ahead and say it.
In the military.
Good luck.
You can't because the bill he signed expressly says nothing is repealed until it's been certified by the Joint Chiefs.
There's no certification yet.
And then you've got to wait 60 days.
By the way, did you notice this one use of the camera pool?
Which is all rigged, so they've got these people that Obama's going to cite in advance.
Did you notice when they mention the don't ask, don't tell, they have all these people clapping, but then they show the Joint Chiefs sitting there just stiff.
I know.
They had a lot of interesting direction going on.
But I think that the Joint Chiefs guys never clap.
Because when they showed, they had something else that was positive about the military, and then they wouldn't show them.
I don't think they clap.
I think it's part of their job not to clap.
I think they should have, you know, when he...
Well, first let's hear what he said, and then let's talk about the non-response and the lie.
Tonight, let us speak with one voice in reaffirming that our nation is united in support of our troops and their families.
Let us serve them as well as they've served us, by giving them the equipment they need, by providing them with the care and benefits that they have earned, and by enlisting our veterans in the great task of building our own nation.
And here it comes.
Our troops come from every corner of this country.
They're black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, and they are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim.
And yes, we know that some of them are gay.
I thought that was a very interesting lineup.
We go from race to religion to sexuality in like the span of seven seconds.
Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love.
So, what a great play on words.
Starting this year...
Which, of course, when you are hypnotized and you think that actually this bill was repealed, oh yeah, it's like he did that at the beginning of this year!
That's right, it's awesome!
But what he's saying is, starting this year, like it could be months from now, if at all.
And let's clap!
Woo!
Woo!
Here's where the Joint Chiefs should have thrown their hands up going, woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Hell yeah!
Woo!
Well, listen, it just goes on and on and on and on.
And with that change...
They should have had the Joint Chiefs doing high fives.
College campuses.
But this was great.
So now that if you're gay and you want to fight...
Open their doors to our military recruiters and ROTC. That was weird.
Now, that's the time that if there was any moment that the Joint Chiefs would have clapped, that would have been the moment.
Or we would have seen that they don't clap for anything, but they did not show them.
No.
But it was just like, because I was watching, I watched C-SPAN because, C-SPAN 2 actually, because C-SPAN 1 had, you know, the whole, they just turned the cameras on early.
C-SPAN 2 turns the cameras on and has the audio jacked up so you can really see what's going on and Hillary with her blue outfit, which is, you know, blue is the new red.
Yeah, blue is the new red.
That's interesting.
You notice that.
Yeah, but you could also see, just like with the award shows, they had signs, like reserve, this is where this person's sitting, that person's sitting, so the cameras know who to cut to.
Because they've rehearsed it.
They've rehearsed this.
So, anyway, it was, yeah, meh, is what I'd say.
Well, there's a couple of things that were interesting, but let's take a look at the speech.
I caught the meme, as you know, early, and I did some research by running some text analyzers on the speech.
Wait a minute.
Text analyzers?
Yeah, there's a bunch of them out there, and this is one of them.
A text analyzer.
You take the speech, you can cut and paste it, because it's available, and you drop it in the text analyzer, and you get to find out all kinds of cool stuff.
The main meme, by the way, that kept cropping up was, win the future.
Right, which Sarah Palin correctly identified.
I mean, I got a little clip here of Win the Future.
Short clippy.
Well, speaking of last night, that was a tough speech to have to sit through and kind of try to stomach because the president is so off base in his ideas on how it is that he believes government is going to create jobs.
Obviously, government growth won't create any jobs.
It's the private sector that can create the jobs.
And his theme last night in the State of the Union was the WTF, you know, winning the future.
Yeah.
I thought that was cute.
Yeah, WTF. Well, we spotted that, too.
That's good.
So, anyway, he said, win the future or winning the future, or the future is ours to win, which is the only alternative where he actually used win and the future in the same sentence, ten times during the speech.
Oh.
Or once every ten minutes.
He also used the word future as a standalone five times.
Yeah.
And so the future was used 15 times within the speech.
Now, is this how you deconstruct NLP, how we're being programmed with what he's saying?
Is that part of this?
Well, no.
Well, that wasn't the idea.
The idea was just to take a look at his complexity factors and some of the other things he had in the speech using Textilizer, which is one of the online programs that you can do this with.
Anyway, you know what the word count is for an hour of speech?
This speech ran one hour and one minute, which, by the way, was less than the last speech, less time-wise.
I think the last one was...
75 minutes.
Oh, the last one was...
Yes, 75 minutes, which is hour 15.
We also had one of our producers give us an analysis of the podcast.
I have it right here.
He says the applause and he has the calculation based upon the fact that this speech was a little bit shorter than the 2010 speech.
He says time wasted from applause was down 5% this year.
And that's Kevin who did that.
Great job.
It's been increasingly down.
Also, the ratings have been down from speech to speech.
They're down again.
Well, he should go on Piers Morgan.
They both could benefit.
So Pierce Morgan, I didn't get the clip because I actually lost it, but there was a great clip.
Pierce Morgan, they brought him in on the CNN desk running by Wolf Blitzer.
And by the way, I also listened to the sound quality of the different feeds, and one of the producers is into this.
And we've determined pretty much that actually the best sound in terms of just a good...
Flat with dimensionality was actually CNN. And the networks also sounded pretty decent.
But C-SPAN was a little hollow.
It is interesting that I switched right after the speech.
I switched to ABC. As we know, there's a new director of news whose sister is a special assistant to the president.
So we know that ABC News is compromised.
And immediately, George Stephanopoulos was saying...
This was more applause than ever!
Well, we show that that's not true, so that was a lie.
Yes.
Yeah, because they're compromised.
Duh.
Yeah, and there's no analysis done.
He's just saying that out of the blue.
We had somebody, one of our producers, actually time it with a stopwatch, and he determined that there was less applause than ever.
I did love the...
Also, 2035, John, I'm so sorry that you're not going to witness it, but...
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
Boy, he was laying it on heavy with the trains mean.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Well, anyway, let me get back to the analysis of the content itself.
Now, by the way, what do you think in our speech, how many words do you think are said in an hour speech?
I don't know.
Well, what do you think?
1,000?
100,000?
3,840.
So it's 3,840 words, which is basically a really long essay.
You have way too much time on your hands.
1,615 different words.
The complexity factor was only 42%.
The readability, if it was written, it would be 8 out of 20, which means it was written, done for dummies.
The average syllables per word is 1.6, so there's a lot of does and a, us, and whatever.
Right, right, right.
Other than that, the word occurrences are kind of interesting.
He does this stuff that if you were writing copy for direct marketing, you'd use these words too.
Number one rank word.
What do you think the number one word was of all the words he uses?
Our.
Our.
Our future.
Our this, our that.
O-U-R, which is a very...
The second word frequency, the number two word, was new.
Oh.
And then the number three was a tie with people and you, which is another you is used a lot in direct mail sales.
Right.
You always say you, you, you, you, you.
And then it started to deteriorate.
No service for you!
Yeah.
It's good.
You managed to pull that one out of a hat.
I'm awake, brother.
That was good.
What years and jobs are tied for fourth?
Well, that's what surprised me.
Again, I'm going to go right back to the compromised ABC News, where everyone was saying, well, the president was talking about jobs, jobs, jobs.
I'm like, I didn't hear that at all.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
It wasn't like that.
No, there wasn't a lot of jobs.
It was still in the top five, but it was actually a tie for fourth, and it wasn't that big of a deal.
But here's what's interesting.
I noticed two words missing from this speech.
Yes, I know exactly which two words were missing.
The most important words in every teenager's vocabulary.
Hot talk!
The two words that I think are interesting because they were missing, one was green, and the other one, which I think was really telling, and I use the word telling as a conspirator, climate.
Hmm.
So we had none of the climate change crapola thrown at us at all.
But he did talk about clean energy.
Yeah, clean he used quite a bit.
In fact, they probably have a word count of it somewhere.
Anyway, that's enough of the analysis.
And he said salmon.
He did say salmon.
And I think there was code in there because he laid on the joke like it's a whole different deal when they're smoked.
I'm like, that's meaning something.
And I don't believe that was in the speech.
Oh, that could be.
I mean, I could look it up.
But anyway, I understood from just watching, and I was cooking, I was cooking the chicken, so I was like, had half an eye on it.
I understood that the president actually met with several of the news anchors before the speech to kind of condition them as to what they were going to talk about afterwards.
From what I understand, he had actual one-on-one meetings with some of the big news anchors.
Well, actually, I'm looking.
I have this speech up.
I think we should get off this because I'm getting bored of this.
Okay, well, we're going to be off it.
But Sam is not in the speech.
Oh, in the written speech.
Oh, he left the whole joke out, huh?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Okay.
All right, I'm done.
Along with that, though, I will say that we've had a flurry of PR activity ourselves, and I would like to thank GP1477 for registering LoseTheFuture.com.
Yeah, I saw that.
It's hilarious.
And linking that to NoAgendaShow.com.
A couple other quick mentions before we get to some support for the show for today.
NoAgendaBatSignal.com is now up.
This is Chris, who has completed development of the No Agenda BatSignal for Mac application, and he's put it into the new Apple Mac store, and it works through Growl.
Are you familiar with that, John?
Growl?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've heard of it.
I think I know what it is.
It works very well.
He sent me a copy.
It'll go on sale for 99 cents when approved by the Uber Lord.
So we appreciate it.
And so you can sign up at noagendabatsignal.com.
A quick mention, noagendarecords.com.
Brand new track out on sale.
The All-Seeing Eye, GX2, of course, and Mr.
Oil doing that.
And I believe they even sent a portion of the proceeds, which we'll get to later today.
We have another site, noagendaleaks.com.
We've got our own WikiLeaks site.
NoagendaLeaks.com.
We can be arrested now.
Yeah, I hope so.
And then a nice offer by Sunset West Investigations.
And there's a link here.
Licensing limitation in the state of California prevented me from advertising as No Agenda Investigations, but I'm proud to offer a discount to listeners of the show.
My value for value proposition is I will give back 50% of the profits from any investigation from a client that listens to the No Agenda podcast.
Just let me know.
You, the client, will also receive a 15% discount at my hourly rate.
It's an all-round win.
So if you want to investigate someone...
Got Mike Hammer working for us.
And then I did a little bit of PR work myself, and I went out and I registered al-sahab.com, and that now also points to noagendashow.com.
Al-Sahab, of course, is the cloud, the Al-Qaeda cloud.
I figured it'd be cool to be the Al-Qaeda cloud.
Do you have the correct spelling?
Of course not.
I have A-L-S-A-H-A-A-B. It's probably only one A, but that wasn't available.
Or somebody else can get the right one.
No, no, you can't because it's been registered by the actual Al-Qaeda.
Oh, Al-Qaeda's registered.
Why don't they go pick them up?
I tried to buy it off of them.
I'm like, hey, Al-Samaki, let me buy that domain from you.
We can do it through GoDaddy.
No worries.
So, before we leave the topic completely and go to our thanks to the executive producers for today's show, at least play the Ron Paul alternative, what he would have done if he had given the State of the Union speech, if he were the president.
Your turn.
What would you have had him say?
Well, I would like them to change the foreign policy and say we're no longer going to be the policemen of the world and bring all our troops home from around the world.
I would like to say that we don't need a welfare state.
The people will be taken care of better in a different manner with free markets.
But I also would have...
Wait, let me guess.
Bring home the hundreds of thousands of troops from foreign lands where we're just killing brown people?
Would that be something Ron Paul would say?
I listed the number of departments that we would get rid of, and I could give you about eight pretty easily.
Education, energy, give us some.
Education, energy, agriculture, homeland security, health and human services, commerce.
I don't know how many that is, but that would be a good start.
But the other thing that I would have said is I would get rid of the great facilitator, and the great facilitator is the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve always volumes the Congress for running up debts and causing our problems.
But, you know, if you didn't have a central bank creating money out of thin air to buy debt, This would be a different world.
So you have to get rid of that if you want to shrink the size of government.
All wars and welfare is paid for, essentially in all countries, paid for through inflation and the destruction of the currency.
So that, if you just got rid of the fact that the Fed couldn't buy debt, you would shrink or at least really impede the growth of government.
That would change life for all of us for the better.
It's really interesting.
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal that said, essentially, the Federal Reserve is out of silver bullets.
It's got nothing left.
All it can do is just monetize the debt.
That's all that's left.
They have nothing left.
They've tried everything.
It's done.
It's over.
I think we're done.
Yeah, inflation is next.
That's the only next logical thing.
Yeah, we're toast.
Oh, well.
I'm thinking of Australia, for reals.
Oh, Australia.
I finally got to watch that woman who's the prime minister give her a speech.
Oh, well, I mean, she has to go.
She has to go, A. And by the way, a lot of people are blaming her and the whole Australian government for these floods because apparently the flood water, the height, they...
Basically gave up on the...
They decided it was going to be a...
Because of global warming, they're never going to have floods again, and they were going to have droughts forever, so they let people build in the floodplains, and they just ignored everything they used to pay attention to in the past, and so these floods were worsened by the...
You know, the misfeasance of the government.
We'll check it out.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has now said we're imposing a one-time flood levy.
That's Australian for tax, mate.
A flood levy of half a percent for middle-income earners to pay for the flood damage.
That's pretty weird.
Whose fault was it?
Yeah, really.
Because they also seeded the clouds.
We know they brought in the technology.
It's just weird.
They don't have a provision for that.
They're going to do an extra tax.
Interesting they say flood and levy.
The Australians put up with a lot more than I always imagined they would.
Well, it's time to change that when we go move there.
It's all going to change.
It's all going to change.
That woman, by the way, looks exactly like that Swinton woman in the movie, the Clooney movie.
It's just amazing.
The evil lawyer.
Yes.
Well, she also looks a little bit like a younger, nicer looking Nancy Pelosi.
She's a clone.
There's a Pelosi, very mild Pelosi look.
She's got no upper lip, this woman.
Zero.
It's amazing.
I don't want to kiss her.
Okay, so we have some people to thank for today's show.
A bunch of executive producers.
The executive producer will be...
Kara Swinton, by the way, is the name of the actress.
Check her out.
She looks just like this Prime Minister.
Our executive producer will be the NoAgendaChallengeCoin.com site for delivering $333.33 and giving a knighthood to John Evdeman of Sammamish, Washington.
By the way, there's a lot of strange named towns up there.
So does he get the executive producership or just the nightship?
I think he just gets the nighthood.
Good luck, Mickey!
I love you!
You're welcome.
Bye!
Sorry.
She left earlier.
No, she's leaving now.
She just brought me coffee.
She's an awesome woman, dude.
So does John Evdeman also get the executive producership?
I think it just goes to No Agenda Challenge.
Noagendachallengecoin.com?
I agree.
And then we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 members of the 273 Club, which I think will be the biggest sub...
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
So we had noagendachallengecoin.com came in with $333.33, and that's his third payment of $333.33, right?
Yeah.
So that's how we get to a knighthood, because it's $999.99.
And then?
Right.
And then we have this process, by the way, that if people give us 33333 three times, then we throw in the extra penny.
And that means you, Adam.
Yeah, I just did it.
God damn, John.
It's the one thing we set up for this show.
The one thing we set up.
Here's how it works.
I get the sound file, everything.
And I'm like, dude, where are you?
I have to take you back there.
Yes, we throw in the extra penny.
There's the clip.
Oh, gee.
This is why we don't do anything in between shows.
We didn't rehearse this.
I just kind of wrote up the idea.
You suck.
God.
I knew it was going to fall apart.
A little peek behind the scenes of the No Gemma show.
I thought you were going to be the one that blows it, but no.
I guess...
Okay, let's move on.
We've got a lot of stuff to talk about.
Throw the penny in again.
No, no.
I think it's a quarter, actually.
It's such a great sound effect.
It sounds a little too heavy to be a penny.
Okay, so we've got five members of the 273 Club, which will all be associate executive producers and exclusive members of the 273 Club, because they gave us the show number, and the next show will be 274.
For anyone who wants to join one of these exclusive films.
So this is an associate executive producer and 273 club member credit which can go on anything.
It's an official one.
And it's a big deal.
It's like sponsoring a special episode of Hawaii Five-0.
Yeah, it's specific.
Benjamin Knight is in Brooklyn, New York.
I'm the one who sent in a flu vaccine email from...
I'd like to call out my friend Pete Boyle as a douchebag.
And Benjamin himself needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Propagating the formula, hitting people in the mouth, especially my medically inclined parents.
I threw away all the Splenda, Trident, and Diet Coke, and my father, Xylitol, chewing gum.
Very good.
And Zevia soda, which has stevia in it.
You guys are an awesome show.
Have made an awesome show, and it makes me laugh and furious sometimes simultaneously in that cry-laugh synergy.
I did some further research into Aspartame.
Aspartame.
Aspartame.
I don't know why I keep...
There's a lot of people that say that.
That say aspartamine.
And I'm like, no, it's aspartame.
Anyway, so we did some research and it turns out it's not good for you.
Huh.
Do you know that I actually stopped...
I was eating this particular cereal that I got from Whole Foods in the morning.
And I've been eating it for maybe two months.
And I look at the box and I'm like, holy crap, there's high fructose corn syrup in here.
I stopped eating it.
In cereal?
Well, I didn't expect it to be in this cereal.
I wouldn't expect it to be in any cereal.
Right.
And so I stopped eating it.
Within a week, John, my gut has visibly diminished.
Within a week.
Oh, you're probably getting bloated.
That too.
But just get that stuff out of your diet.
That and the aspartame.
That's a good start.
Anyway, I digress.
No, you don't.
Bill Rutter, San Jose, California, $273.
Christopher Lawton in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
Thanks so much for the show.
The donation is in order to move my knighthood along.
Also, please get some karma for my 12-year-old niece and our family.
She's having heart surgery tomorrow, Friday.
Oh, no.
Who knows?
You've got karma.
So we need to all send her some positive energy and prayer.
Soon to be Sir Christopher.
Christopher Lawton.
Jay Munoz.
Aquaeans?
I'm guessing.
Aquaeans?
Maybe.
He's in Spain.
Hello, John and Adam.
After a long unemployment period, I'm back into the payroll of my fellow human resources.
It's time to finally donate, and thank you guys for keeping me sane during that time.
It's already helped.
By the way, I recently started to listen while commuting, and it rocks.
I get to work with a smile on my face every day.
Greetings from Madrid.
That's the old Madrid, unlike the new Madrid, which is about to fall apart.
Here is his pronunciation.
Alvaro Omunaz-Kuens.
I don't know.
A-Kuens.
Is that Kuens?
A-Kuens.
All right.
Good job.
Jeffrey, and he's a new donor, by the way.
Jeffrey Lynch in Asheville, North Carolina.
In the morning, John and Adam, we'd like to join the 273 Club.
Don't need karma, but would love a shout-out for our non-commercial comedy podcast, Bothersome Things, found on iTunes or at bothersomethings.com.
He needs a sound bite of you saying, shut up slavery.
He says this all the time.
And listen to bothersome things.
And John's saying, Highland and Wood are an abomination.
You know, it's great.
These two guys, they're like a married gay teen.
And they've got the picture of them.
It's like totally Brokeback Mountain.
They've got the cowboy hats on and everything.
And we encourage that.
Because if you tell, we out you again here on the show.
It's Do Tell We Out You.
Yeah, you know, what's it called?
I'm giving them a jingle.
What is it?
BothersomeThings.com?
The Bothersome Podcast?
Yeah.
It's like Brokeback Mountain, only funny.
It's actually interesting.
If I'm going to give them any advice, in fact, they talk too much like this on the radio.
It's a little bit too much like a national treasure.
Yeah, that's the way I talk in real life.
Yes.
Well, John, whenever I'm talking to you, I do kind of talk to you.
Right here on the No Agenda podcast, where we bring you a media assassination.
You two guys, be conversational.
Nobody talks like that.
You've got to talk like John does.
Nobody talks like that!
And Todd Simmons, Sir Todd actually, from Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane, pronounced Simmons, I guess I've been pronouncing it Simons, contributed on Australia Day, 26th of January, because it's an Aussie thing to do.
Do it for your country, douchebags.
And that'll be it for our executive producers for this show, number 273.
So we really appreciate this type of support.
You know, we put together a lot of hours of show for you, and we think it's value for value, and clearly other people think that as well, and so we thank our special executive producer, noagendachallengecoin.com.
I received my noagendachallengecoin.com in the mail.
Yeah, I got one.
Yeah, I don't think it looks like us at all.
Yeah, I think the art of us, too, is not up to par.
I do like the chemtrailing aircraft on the flip side, though.
Yeah, I think whoever made the coin did is well done.
It's got a lot of enamel.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I meant...
Persistent Contrants.
And we thank our associate executive producers and exclusive 273 Club members.
The club is closed.
The door is slammed shut after this.
You can only become a member of the 274 Club next episode.
Benjamin Nidus, Bill Rudder, Christopher Lawton, Jay Munoz-Aquins, Jeffrey Lynch, and Sir Todd Simmons.
We highly appreciate that.
Of course, everyone else who's been donating...
Keep doing it and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New.
World.
Order.
Say it with me now.
Shut up, sleep.
I think we might start with the news of the day, John, before it gets stale.
Blast Rocks Hotel near World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Oh, I didn't...
Yeah, right.
No one hurt.
Remember last year the security guy got killed?
I'm sorry.
He committed suicide.
Yeah, he committed suicide.
And this year, that guy's gone and an explosion rocks the hotel in close proximity to the venue.
I'm looking at the report here.
It happened at the Post Hotel Morosani.
Shockwaves released by the blast shattered two window panes.
Well, it must have been some shockwave.
So, we don't really know.
Police cordoned off the area after the incident launched an investigation to find out whether the blast had a criminal origin.
Yeah, right.
Criminal origin.
But the interesting news that came in this morning is the base in Utah that went in lockdown.
Yeah.
Utah military facility that, this is Dugway Proving Ground.
Yeah, notorious.
Dugway.
This place is the size of Rhode Island.
Oh, it's huge.
It's like 400 acres bigger, 400 square miles bigger than California or some crap, like Los Angeles or something like that.
It's huge.
Dugway.
Dugway Proving Ground.
And so they test...
What are they testing?
Biological weapons.
Yeah, and gas.
A lot of gas.
And they're saying, oh, we're missing a vial of nerve agent, so they locked it down.
That's the CNN report, which doesn't sound too happy.
But I think something else is going on.
In fact, one of my favorite conspiracy websites had a great story in relation to this.
And I love it when you get a story like this about the lockdown, and immediately they come out with the real story.
And the real story is, of course, that they took the capstone off of the Stargate in the Atlantic.
And took it to this facility to examine it.
And the Russian Space Forces actually detected a...
Isn't this supposed to be the second half of the show?
Yeah, but I'm just going to give it to you now because I don't believe this myself.
Oh, good.
And there was a huge gamma ray burst of unprecedented proportions emanating from the base.
And so this all is brought back to the GPS testing that we talked about on Sunday's show.
That the reason why these areas right off the coast of Florida and coincidentally right in this area of Utah were marked as possibly the GPS systems may not work is because essentially they took the top off the Stargate and brought it to Utah like fools.
Everyone knows you don't do that.
Don't mess with the Stargate.
Is this the Stargate that's in the Gulf of Aden?
No, that's its sister, Stargate.
So this Stargate is off the coast of Florida in the Atlantic, off the coast of northern Florida, and there was a lot of naval activity there.
I wish they'd never done that movie.
Speaking of movies...
There were two really good movies coming out.
One just coming out on DVD. I'm going to bring it up here.
It's called Virus X. And the website is actually h1n1virus.com.
Yeah, it's really, really good.
And it's coming out, it's going straight to DVD, so I guess they couldn't...
A winner!
Yeah, they couldn't get it the release it actually deserved.
And there was also, apparently, I thought this show was off the air.
Apparently there was a Hawaii Five-0 episode where we were getting the big flood, the Noah's Ark flood that's been talked about.
What do you mean you thought it was off the air?
The show just started.
Really?
And people still watch it?
Hawaii Five-0?
Yeah.
Well, I don't know if they watch it or not, but everyone claims it's a big hit.
Right.
Here it is, Virus X the movie.
So you want to check that.
It was the Hawaii Five-0.
I guess that was the episode that was on this week, A Flash Flood Tsunami.
You guys were right once again.
I couldn't manage to get to it.
You couldn't watch it.
It's hard to watch.
The show's not hard to watch.
I thought the big news this week was the Egyptian riots.
Well, yes.
This is under the heading, What Color Is Your Revolution?
Yeah.
So, of course, this started off just like...
And we predicted this.
We were talking about this on Sunday.
We said, you know, watch this.
We're going to have revolutions through Facebook and Twitter.
Which of course is spurred on by operatives essentially whipping people into a frenzy on these social networking sites.
You attach a color to it and you're good to go.
Just like Tunisia with their...
What was their color again?
Jasmine.
Jasmine.
They're Jasmine.
And so Egypt comes out with a hashtag revolution.
Hashtag Jan 25.
And of course what happens immediately is Twitter gets blocked yet Facebook says no problem.
Everyone can still see Facebook there in Egypt.
Not a problem whatsoever.
Yeah, that seems a little corrupt.
And Hillary Clinton actually made a statement.
What does she say?
Well, and so this, of course, is like, oh, now we go.
Clinton defends Facebook and Twitter amid Egypt protests.
Well, and this is Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of the State.
So...
So you know that Egyptian authorities struggled to quash anti-government uprisings yesterday.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on longtime U.S. ally to unblock social networking sites that have been used to organize protests, such as those operated by Facebook, Inc.
and Twitter, Inc.
That's from Business Week.
So that's so clear that we're right on the money, that this is the new model for...
Yeah, and the thing is, it's also...
See, I was...
You know, you have to worry about who's behind some of these things, because it does...
It's not everything's the CIA. I mean, there's Chinese intelligence, there's Indian intelligence, and they both have a vested interest in Egypt.
And in fact, if you start looking into it, you'll find, you know, this is again...
Essentially an economic hitman thing because this is all about oil.
Let me just read you a couple of pieces that are run here and there.
This is from December 19, 2010.
According to one of the news aggregators, Egypt, 64% of all oil discoveries in the past five years in the Middle East are in Egypt.
Egypt achieved the highest rate of oil discoveries compared to all discoveries of all OPEC countries.
It's accounted for 64% of total volume of discoveries during the past five years.
The big company, of course, American company that's over there is Apache.
And meanwhile, what's happened is that the Egyptians seem to be cozying up to the Chinese in a real big way.
Right.
And that's basically our enemy.
Economically.
Yeah, in the oil business, sure.
And so the Egyptians and the Chinese, as a matter of fact, did a deal to build essentially the world's biggest oil refinery, I think, in Africa.
And this isn't rubbing people the wrong way.
Where there's a billion Chinese already in Africa.
Actually, isn't there like a million Chinese?
There's probably more than a million.
And so the other country that's a little annoyed by this, which would be involved, It would be India, who's been screwed over on a couple of ship deals.
They were building some monster ships for the Egyptians, and those deals were canceled and given to the Chinese.
So this is obviously an attempt to get rid of Mubarak.
I think they're not going to put in a democratic society.
It's just not going to happen, even though they're going to talk a big game.
You watch.
Here's what I'm thinking.
They're going to give the job to Mubarak's son...
Who will play ball, and if you look at his history, just out of the blue, what would you think Mubarak's son does for a living?
Oil trader?
Investment banker.
Okay, close.
Same thing.
Same thing.
Well, this is very interesting because I have another piece of news that fits in perfectly with this.
Now, what is oil at today, John?
We're back up around $87 a barrel.
It's about $87.
Yesterday it was.
And when we started this show, we tracked it all the way...
This was a couple of years ago.
We were tracking it all the way up to $150, and we actually assassinated a lot of the reports there and tracked it back to essentially trading.
The price, of course, is always determined by the bid and the ask, the supply and demand, etc.
So some very interesting things happening with oil as we've seen the price go down a little bit.
And then yesterday, do you remember we talked about Glencore?
Do you remember that?
No, I don't actually, but I'll be reminded.
Okay.
Glencore is the company in Zug, Switzerland that we discussed that was set up by Mark Rich.
Oh, yeah.
Now, I just want to go through this again.
Clinton's pal.
Right.
Mark Rich was arrested for trading oil with Iran when Iran was holding American citizens hostage.
And he got thrown in jail and then Clinton on his way out in 2001 said, hey Mark, you're free to go!
So Mark Rich hops out.
He goes to Zouk, Switzerland.
And this Glencore company is one of the largest corporations on earth.
They just filed for an IPO. And the expectations are, I'm going to do a dualist thing, I think it's London and Singapore, of course he's not going to come back to the States, because we have that, you know, it's horrible to go public in the States now, so, you know, the guy got sprung by the U.S. President, and he's now going to go make all of his friends rich, and you know Billy Boy's on the inside.
Oh yeah.
So this IPO is going to pop.
They're expecting it to raise $60 billion.
And then, of course, the price of oil is only going to go up, which makes all the insider shares worth even more.
This is going to be a monster cleanup.
This is it.
They're going to drive the price of oil.
It may go past $150 a barrel right after this IPO. And I'm amazed, actually, they actually even mentioned the date.
I mean, this is such a fix.
They're so sure of themselves that they're just saying, hey, this is when we're going to come out and screw everybody.
And you know Mark Rich, he's going to be true to his name, which he already is.
And they're just all sitting there in Zook, Switzerland, going, hey, hey, hey, hey, watch this now.
We're really going to screw him.
So, and of course, that's going to, the screws comes to us.
Oh yeah, we always take it.
Because the public takes it in the shorts.
Worldwide public.
Yeah, and here it is.
And then we put up with guys like Clinton.
It's amazing.
Yeah, they're going to do a $2 billion IPO in Hong Kong, sorry.
And then a $10 billion IPO in London.
And of course, this is just the pricing.
But between announce and going public, and then as it moves forward, the expectations are that the multiple will be six.
And it will be sometime between April and June.
Well, May would be between April and June, I guess.
And that's when I'm going to do this IPO. And it's the oil cabal with the final last big joke.
Well, it might be interesting to catch this peak and just short the heck out of it.
Because oil shouldn't be selling for this kind of money.
No, of course not.
Well, the Chinese are using a lot.
You start looking at the numbers.
The Chinese are not using more.
I mean, they're not growing that fast.
I mean, they are using a lot of oil, but it's pretty steady.
So there shouldn't be.
It's not like they're spiking.
So that's just a phony argument, the whole thing.
The oil prices are just basically being rigged again in some new way, and it could have something to do with this.
Now, the other possibility exists that they're going to run the oil price up just to get the IPO to come out at a real high multiple, and then the insiders can just dump their shares back on the market while there's demand, and then the price can fall right after the IPO. Of course.
Well, no, it's going to take a little bit longer than that.
And, of course, the Daily Mail in Gitmo Nation East reports properly that food prices could rise by 50%.
And, of course, that's why I need to get your tasty Monsanto snacks ready.
Yeah, well, I'm not buying into all of these assertions by these guys.
A lot of these things, when they say that, then I'm looking the other way.
Yeah.
Don't look over here?
No.
When somebody says the prices are going to go up, I'm thinking, well, why are they saying that?
I mean, it's just to support the high prices.
And they tend to go down.
I mean, these guys are stooges, essentially.
They always, you know, somebody tells them to say something, they say it.
And somebody else benefits.
Hmm.
Okay.
You can't deny people are pushing genetically modified crap on us.
Hello?
No, I can't deny that.
So, anyway, so Egypt's something fake about it.
Now, the thing that got me about this Egypt thing is that report after report after report, and I'm not sure why this wasn't, unless it was just a signal to tell us that, you know, this is the mechanism that we identified, by the way, in the last show, is that, well, it's because Tunisia did it.
That gave the Egyptians the go-ahead.
Did you notice this?
Yeah.
Everybody's making the connection between the two, as if the Egyptian public is sitting around, oh, look what they're doing in Tunisia, let's do the same thing.
They're rioting, we should do it too.
I'm not buying this.
Well, I don't know, because the way it's working, the way that, and this is very sophisticated stuff, because I see people, normally no one ever talk about Tunisia.
But now we have Facebook and Twitter involved and we have a color attached to it.
If you ask, I guarantee if you asked 10 news people on television right now, point to Tunisia on the map, they wouldn't even be able to do it.
They don't know.
It's sophisticated because the Ministry of Truth is giving us this information and it's fueling, it's fanning the flames on Facebook and Twitter.
People are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, screw it.
Because everyone's getting screwed.
Everyone feels that.
It's just now that the flames are being fanned, and it's viral.
It works all by itself, John.
I think it's the most sophisticated economic hitman stuff I've ever seen, and part of that is saying, yeah, Tunisia, you know, look what they're doing.
You watch it.
It's bringing it more and more of this.
I'm just surprised that there's no color for Egypt yet.
Yeah, well, maybe one will crop up.
The color of land.
So, um...
Another thing that's going on, which has got me puzzled, again, an oil producing country, big one.
Officials in Greece say gunmen off the coast of Nigeria have attacked a Greek operated cargo ship.
So now we're getting the pirates on the west coast of Africa.
It's kind of taken away because the Somalian guys, I guess, when was the last pirate story?
A long time ago.
Long time ago.
Months.
So now we've moved over to the West Coast to bring attention to Nigeria.
So there's something going on there.
And this is coming from the Voice of America News, which is becoming a very propagandistic, well, this news, it's always been kind of skewed.
Right.
Anyway, so we're going to keep an eye on that.
Should we do some magic numbers as a little segue here?
Do it.
So interesting magic numbers now that people are catching on to it.
And by the way, it's not 30, it's not 23, it's not 3.
It's got to be 33.
And we believe at this point that whenever something shows up in the news with the number 33, that's a message back to Homebase saying, we got it.
Would like to point out, by the way, that the latest iPhone Facebook app version is 3.3.3.
33 dead in Pakistan bus collision.
Catholic Diocese of Toledo's three-year reorganization will affect 33 parishes.
These are all the news stories taken right from the interwebs.
South Africa flood death toll rises as government declares 33 disaster zones.
Guinea seeks 33% stake in mining projects.
Pub sells...
333 million fewer pints year over year from England.
Is this ridiculous or what?
I'm telling you.
H.R. 333, the Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act.
That's a strong one right there.
South Africa, 333 rhinos lost to poaching.
It drives me nuts when I see this stuff.
This is ridiculous.
I don't think anybody...
No one tracks this.
Our listeners know that we're on to this because we keep bringing it up.
But at this point, it's ridiculous.
Right back to the trading companies, here's where the real message comes in.
Four companies, Eaton Profit, Eaton, profit jumps 33% in fourth quarter.
HDFC Bank, net profits up 33%.
Demand media shares, which by the way, demand media is a huge, huge scam.
Demand media shares jump 33% in trading debut.
CPL pre-tax profit rises 33%.
Please.
Please.
Demand Media, that's the guy, Richie, what's his name, Richie, who started MySpace as like the spam company.
So I guess they went public.
And that guy's a huge scam.
Well, what makes it a scam?
I mean, they're not doing anything illegal.
You know what?
I live here, so let's just leave it at that.
But the message is out, 33% jump.
But the 33% would indicate to me that they're fronting for people.
Essentially what they do, they do all those websites that you run into that kind of push the side, about.com.
There used to be these websites that were just trying to score easy page views by kind of gaming Google.com.
Right.
And the main ones was, I think, LookSmart, in the olden days, LookSmart and About.com, and then, of course, along came Wikipedia.
And they essentially just aggregate basic information.
Well, these guys took it to a new level with HowTo.
Right, HowTo.com.
By basically isolating HowTo.
They pay people next to nothing.
Richie Rosenblatt, that's his name.
Now, anyway, they pay people next to nothing to write up these pages.
Right, how to boil an egg.
How to boil an egg.
And so if you say boil an egg in Google, in fact, let's try it.
It may actually come up.
I think Google's been fighting against most of these things.
Yeah, I think that they also have hundreds of thousands of misspelled domain names.
That's a big part of the business.
It doesn't really matter.
Here it is.
eHow, right at the top.
Yeah, eHow.com.
I think eHow is one of theirs, right?
Yes, that is their main...
Yeah, How to Boil an Egg.
Yeah, their main publicly facing site.
They have How to Boil an Egg as number one hit from eHow, number two hit.
How to Boil a Perfect Hard Boiled Egg.
They hit that one too.
Yeah.
Nice.
And then there's another one called WikiHow.
I've never seen that one.
That might be one of theirs.
Oh, yeah.
WikiHow.
The how-to manual that you can edit.
Oh, brother.
I haven't seen that before.
Anyway, yeah.
So, yeah, that would indicate to me that something's fishy.
It's just the so much, the so much.
No, the 33 thing is ridiculous.
I think once somebody says, hey, you know, these two idiots on doing this show...
No agenda.
Or on to the 33 code.
What can we do to change it?
Oh, no, no, no.
It's not going to change it.
Are you kidding me?
The guys who use that are so, so far above us on the ladder of elitism.
They don't give a crap.
They do not.
They don't care at all.
No.
Yeah, the public doesn't care and nobody else cares.
Nobody sees it this way anyway.
It seems like a stretch.
Just a bunch of coincidences.
Well, this is the kind of stuff we bring you.
Coincidence?
I think not!
And by the way, the 13-part series Rubicon that was on AMC for a short time actually discusses this mechanism.
Really?
Yeah, it discusses this mechanism, these coded mechanisms that are used to just let people know that you either call someone or, I mean, they just put them into the public domain and then the 33 meme is exactly, falls right into place with the mechanism that was discussed in this short-lived kind of spook series that was on AMC. It was quite entertaining if you could follow it.
So speaking of coded messages, we're about to receive a new threat advisory level system.
And I believe Lucy Napolitano is announcing that today.
So maybe someone can pick up the news.
So the color-coded system is going to go away.
It's going to be replaced by the new national terror advisory system that will focus on specific threats in geographical areas.
Yeah.
So I think it's going to be even more...
We're not afraid anymore.
We're not afraid of walking through the airport.
We're used to it now, where you hear...
Yeah, orange.
Orange is the new green.
The current national security threat level is orange.
So that's going to go away.
Orange says 2006 and hasn't budged.
In fact, in Oakland Airport, the signs are actually posters.
You can't change it.
And I would, by the way, like a request of any listeners out there that happen to work for, you know, we've got some TSA people or anything.
Get us some of those.
We'd like to have some of those signs.
I would like to get one of the signs from one of the airports when they tear them down or even one that you might have in the back room that I could be shipped just to collect it.
Anyone who has a threat level sign.
Wouldn't it be funny if it was like, okay, we've now expanded it.
We're going from level one to level 33.
Yeah, it'd be something like that.
But I would like the old sign, one of the old signs, because Mimi's probably listening to the show, oh, more junk.
But I would love to have one of the old signs just so I could have it posted in the office.
I really wonder what it's going to be, though.
It's probably going to be like we have a...
Yeah, I mean, they're going to have to scare us with different things, like there could be a biological attack, so that'll have a code name.
Maybe there'll be codes, yeah.
Maybe the type of attack expected.
But it's got to be something simple that the slaves can understand.
You know what I mean?
Yes, it's got to be something simple.
Human resources in the chat room, keep your eye on that because Lucy is supposed to be announcing that today.
Oh, is it today?
Yes, today.
She's going to announce it and then it will be implemented, I think, in a couple of months.
We might catch it before the end of the show.
That would be great, wouldn't it?
Now, while we're talking about the airports, of course, this is news that I think John and I believe it's a huge, it really is a big story, completely underreported for obvious reasons.
This hero, Phil Mosek, Who, I think 2009, refused to identify himself at a TSA checkpoint.
He didn't have ID. Oh, yeah.
Loved this guy.
Yeah.
And then he started to take pictures of the TSA and the police freaking out.
So he went to trial, and he was acquitted of everything.
Completely acquitted.
And the main reason why, which I really love, is he said, look, the TSA website itself says you don't have to have identification.
Right?
And I actually looked it up, because you should print this out and take it with you.
It says right here, so it's a good idea to prepare before you arrive at the airport so you move more quickly, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It gives you all the prohibited items and everything.
And it says, we encourage each adult traveler to keep his or her airline boarding pass and government issue photo ID available until exiting the security checkpoint.
Children are not required to show identification.
The absence of proper identification will result in additional screening.
So it doesn't say it will result in you being arrested and denied access because they can't.
Because we have a kind of a little thing here that we call...
What is that thing called again, John?
Is it the Constitution?
Yeah, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights seems to be...
It actually still seems to be legal.
Yeah, that you have the right to freedom of movement without showing your papers everywhere.
Yeah, right.
And this guy challenged it and he won.
He won.
And I think the guy is a hero.
He is a hero.
For taking it all the way to the court.
And I saw some of the video, of course, you see when Lindsay Lohan's in court, it's live coverage.
When this guy's in court, you get little snippets of B-roll.
But I did see the attorney for the prosecution literally like, this guy was disruptive, he's clearly guilty on all counts, and The district attorney in this case is a douchebag who should be voted out of office if you can vote him out of office.
People like this, by the way, are really the pathetic lowlife of this country.
These are nuisance suits that they pursue.
I swear these people are the lowest form of life.
And that DA, who should know better...
He really should be hounded out of office.
He is a total creep.
What I like so much, though, is that we showed the power because this guy is acquitted by a jury, a jury of his peers.
And this is why this is not in the news.
The Ministry of Truth doesn't want you to know about this story because we can now...
I mean, I'm thinking about it, just showing up.
I'm sorry, I don't have my papers.
In fact, you don't have the right to ask for them.
I'm happy to go through additional screening just to prove the point, although I'm not.
Uh...
And, what, you want to take me to court?
Okay, because the people in this country, the people will stand up for what's right.
And that's a beautiful thing.
I'm very encouraged by that.
It's unfortunate we have to do it this way, but it shows that when the people see something really wrong, we call them out.
And you're right, and we should vote the DA out of office.
Of course, we don't know who he is either.
There's no information about that.
Well, we can look it up.
Somebody knows.
The fact of the matter is, these creeps that are supposed to be, you know, they're supposed to be working on our behalf, the public's behalf, not against the public interest, you know, for a fascist state.
Give me a break.
I don't know how that DA can sleep at night, to be honest about it.
So along these lines, someone sent me, I have a little clip here, someone sent me a YouTube series, or it's a series that is on YouTube, What We Can Learn From History.
And of course, you know, we have see something, say something.
We've got the citizen's watch, report on your neighbor, see something suspicious.
This is rampant.
We've been talking about this for a couple weeks now.
This is a part of the, oh, you know, the guy was crazy.
You know, this is how the Jared Loeffner tragedy in Tucson happened.
It has become a huge talking point.
The memes are, it's easier to buy a gun than get mental health care in this country, because obviously the slaves can't be trusted.
And you have to report on each other, which is something that has never really happened in this country.
But what I like, and I want to play this clip, it's about a minute and a half.
They found a whole bunch of Nazi records in one particular town.
And it turns out the Gestapo, which of course was a version of Department of Hinterland Security in Nazi Germany, wasn't really that large.
It's not like they had hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground.
They actually relied on a different technique.
And I'd like to share that with you because we can learn something from history.
Only recently have the files been studied, and a surprising picture emerges of how the Gestapo actually functioned.
To start with, far from there being a Gestapo officer on every street corner, there were only 28 secret police officials for the entire Würzburg region of nearly a million people.
I think the Gestapo could not have operated without the cooperation of the citizens of Germany.
By that I mean it would really have been structurally impossible for them to do so.
There were simply not enough Gestapo officials to go around.
Somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the crimes that were reported to the Gestapo came from ordinary citizens.
The main job for the Gestapo was sorting out the denunciations.
This seems to have been their preoccupation.
The citizens of a town like Würzburg didn't so much have to fear the Gestapo as what their neighbors might tell the Gestapo.
Every German was at risk from denunciation.
A woman who lived in this garden house on the outskirts of Würzburg in 1938 first came to the attention of the Gestapo when she was denounced by a relative.
She was called Ilse Sonja Totska, and her Gestapo file lies in the Würzburg archive.
After years of denunciations and Gestapo harassment, she was sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp during the war, where she died.
Her crime was simple.
She didn't fit in.
There you go.
So, can we learn something from this, John?
Should we be paying attention to history in this case?
Nah.
Key word, by the way, denunciation.
Yeah, I like that.
Key word.
I denounce you.
And if you Google that, it's surprising how often that shows up.
And we'll probably have denotices, a denunciation notice.
Ooh, I like it.
Yeah, oh, I got a denotice.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, denotice.
Who knows?
Send that suggestion to Janet.
To Lucy.
Hey, Lucy, I got a great idea.
So, study your history, people, because this was not Holland or France.
This was Germany.
This was Gitmo Nation Deutschland, where people were...
90% of all the reports was not the Gestapo snooping on people.
It was their relatives.
Their relatives ratting them out.
No, she doesn't fit in.
She's kind of weird.
She said something bad about Hitler once.
Yeah, yeah, not good, not good.
So I think this is very important to pay attention to, and there's links in the show notes.
By the way, I want to thank, I have a small test group, about eight people, who have been working with me on the new show notes show prep system, which has been a runaway success.
And when you see the show notes for today's show, you will be blown away.
Absolutely blown away as I've moved some of the...
You know those people who send you like 25 emails a day, John, with story ideas and leads and stuff?
Yeah.
How annoying is that?
Not the stories, but the emails themselves.
Just having it in emails sucks, right?
You don't think so?
No, I think it's a bookkeeper's nightmare.
Thank you.
That's my point.
It's a nightmare.
So I move those people off and I move them onto the system so now they're actually inputting directly into the show notes system and it's fantastic.
The show notes are elevating to a whole new level.
I've got some guys working on how we can render these outlines.
It's all structured data, which is the beauty of it.
The show notes are going to be even more valuable than they were.
I'll be inviting more people into the system so the human resources can really support this.
It's a big part of the show.
It's a part of the service that we deliver to you.
With our value for value proposition, which means we don't interrupt the show or the flow with anything, any commercials.
We don't take money from anyone other than the people who find and obtain value from the program.
Exactly.
In fact, we have some people we want to call out.
Right on cue as always, John.
I was typing.
So we do have some people to thank this week and we want to get through them.
They help us do the show.
If it wasn't for the people donating to the show and contributing to the show and helping us produce the show, we wouldn't have a show.
And so we have to call them out as great people.
Humanitarians.
Let's start with Tyler O'Brien of Boca Raton, Florida.
In the morning, John and Adam, my name is Tyler O'Brien.
I'm a college student of Boca Raton, Florida.
I've been a listener for about a year now and listen to every single show.
Back to the first.
I love the show.
I'm finally donating so I can get some karma for my classes this semester.
One of my classes is called American Social Problems.
Almost every class we talk about a subject you guys mention on No Agenda.
Last week we were told to bring in an article.
So I brought in an article I got from the show notes about vaccines and adjuvants.
My professor didn't approve and gave me a zero on the assignment.
What?!
Is that unbelievable?
A zero?
Don't you get a one at least for putting your name on the paper?
Bring in an article.
Oh, I don't like the article.
You get a zero.
Really?
That's what he says.
Hold on a second.
Douchebag!
Play that for him.
Douchebag.
Yeah, let's get the professor's name.
He's a douchebag.
Absolutely.
So anyways, he's 27 today.
His birthday, we'll give him a birthday shout out in a minute.
I'm hoping he can get a birthday shout out.
You guys are awesome.
Keep up the great work.
Loyal No Agenda Slave.
Also, a graffiti artist, which is interesting.
He's working on his No Agenda stickers, which will soon fill the halls of my campus.
And he'll send some pics with the next donation, which is, by the way, I'm one of the few people who's actually collected actual graffiti on canvas.
Is it graffiti or graffiti?
It's graffiti.
Okay, because you said graffiti.
I say graffiti.
I often mispronounce things.
Normally, it's because I'm reading it as though it was Dutch.
It's funny because the Dutch say graffiti.
Oh, do they now?
Yeah, which always kills me.
Graffiti.
Graffiti is like gravity.
I'm going there.
Graffiti?
You're going for graffiti.
Try it.
You'll like it.
Anyway, graffiti writer, artists are usually called...
Banksy, a huge graffiti writer.
They're usually called writers, which is an interesting subtext to what they do.
They're usually writing their own names is the reason.
Now we got down to...
How do we pronounce it?
Schnorrestein.
Schnorrestein.
But it may be Steen.
He's up at the North Pole there.
He's the guy that has the snowmobiles and the rifles.
Yeah, I know.
We're sitting on our asses doing this show.
We should be up there chasing reindeer.
He says no global warming here.
Well, we'll get to that in a minute.
Anyway, Monsieur Stain gave us $111.11 to promote the 1-1-1-1-1 meme, which is going on all year, by the way.
And he's working up towards his knighthood.
He asked for an accounting.
He's very, very close.
Well, Eric will do it for him.
No, he is.
You're supposed to do your own accounting, by the way, but that's okay.
Sir Greg Stone, Rapid City, South Dakota, $111.
Celebrating much need to vacation in Vegas with good friend and need some karma, mega karma, because apparently he is losing his money there.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
He's got karma.
Oh, we can't have that.
Yeah, go on a winning streak.
Sir Rory Stone, www.rorystone.com.
Also, Greg Stone, Rory Stone.
We also submitted some artwork about State of the Union, assuming it would be a topic of conversation in the morning.
Oleg Racatini in North York, Ontario.
I need some karma.
An envelope from Eric with my original challenge coin arrived open and empty.
Oh, no!
This is not good!
You've got karma.
This is supposed to be a present for my brother.
Anyway, I'd like to call out the person who stole it a douchebag.
Douchebag.
And he hopes you become an active...
And he hopes the thief will become an active no-gender listener.
It seems unlikely.
Well, that sucks.
Yeah, it totally sucks.
Well, I would...
I don't know what to do there.
I don't know what to do.
Well, Adam, Eric will figure it out.
He'll get in touch with him.
Jacek Artemiak.
I bet you it's Artemiak.
He's in...
He's in Poland.
He's in Poland.
Dear John and Adam, I'd like to show my support for your show.
We need some Polish support.
And if possible, to weasel in the mention of my book, Vim and V Tips.
No, it's V-I... V, it's not Vim and V-I? Yeah, you said V. You said V. It's Vim and VI. It's VI. It's my favorite editor, my Unix command line editor.
I use VI and Vim as well.
I've got templates for Vim.
I've got to read this book.
Where is it?
Where can I find it?
He wrote it to help young Unix admins and Windows guys understand the Vim editor.
The book is available on Amazon.com in print and Kindle formats.
If you do mention my book, please tell your listeners to get the Kindle edition.
As it's cheaper and more recent than the print edition, the book's URL has got a long URL on here.
But yeah, you can probably find it.
Devguide.net, I guess, is his website.
That's cool.
I'm going to get that.
I'm a Vim guy.
You should get it and stick with your old crap.
Simply Helpful LLC, Oakland.
My Vim kicks your word any day.
Eric says he's sending a replacement coin to our poor, hapless supporter.
Simply Helpful, LLC. What did you just say?
I said, my Vim editor kicks your words editor's ass any day.
Tell that to the fonts.
Simply Helpful, LLC. Auckland, California.

GX2. London, UK. Latest installment of the GX2 sales from the records of noagendarecords.com.
Please ask...
Hey!
It's hip-hop.
It's homeboy Johnny!
It's J-C-D-O-R. I want to ask you something, boy.
Suggest a new name for a new album.
So we want some input here, folks.
Also, a new single is out called All Seeing Eye.
Would appreciate it if you mention that.
The single is on iTunes.
It has great cover art.
It looks beautiful.
Mr.
Oil made that.
I think that the album title should just be Shut Up, Slave.
It's catchy.
It's not 66 is his contribution.
Jan Schubert of the Schubert family.
Hey, John and Adam, I'm going in for an interview for a new job this week.
I'm looking for some karma.
You've got karma.
Also, 6.66 from Oliver Junga from Parts Unknown.
Freehollowbooks.com.
Again, he's back.
He's back.
Summerfield, North Carolina.
Freehollowbooks.com again.
Please mention that we sold two No Agenda section books, and we're donating $33.33 and $24 for a total of $57.33.
One's going to the Cowra, New South Wales, Australia, and one to Brisbane.
Coincidence?
We think not.
Nice.
Charles.
Quebec, Quebec, Quebec.
Simply refer to me as Charles.
Hi, John and Adam.
I'm an avid listener, and 1% are reporting from Gitmo Nation, Meatballs and Hot Blondes, a.k.a.
Sweden.
So he's not from Quebec.
I got the birthday thing lined up in a minute.
You don't have to mention that.
Okay.
He needs it for his friend.
And who apparently needs a lot of karma.
Okay.
We'll hand out some karma.
Hey.
Oh.
This thing happened again.
Well, he's getting through his master's degree.
And wedding.
My thing broke.
Hold on a second.
This is really weird.
There we go.
You've got karma.
And finally, he needs a douchebag call-out because he's a regular listener of No Agenda and DSC but never donated.
Douchebag!
Be a donor, not a boner.
Doesn't he need a dedouching?
What?
No, it's somebody else that needs a dedouching.
Oh, okay.
I don't know.
I can't keep up with this.
That's double nickels on the dime.
Also Jeffrey Hunt, double nickels on the dime from Baltimore, Maryland.
Can't wait till the deconstruction of the State of the Union speech.
We did that.
So full of memes and lies.
Been listening for three weeks and thinks Adam's a crackpot, but makes some sense sometimes.
At least the very fluoride should opt in.
The best part of waking up is fluoride in my cup.
Now and then I hear John on Twitter and he always makes sense, especially about Sarbanes-Oxley.
I'm trying to propagate the message, but I'm amazed how many people don't care.
Yeah.
But the Kardashians have a new episode coming up again tonight.
Yeah, people care about that.
Carl Barron of Parts Unknown.
Adam, please teach John how to pronounce the umlauted in Malmo.
You can't just drop the umlaut and pronounce it as O as you did in the other donor last show.
Malmo.
Malmo.
Whatever.
I don't know how to do the umlaut in Malmo.
I don't either.
I don't know.
Obviously.
I'm being called out.
Radu Perlook, $50.50 from North Chicago, Illinois.
Is it Per Tuck?
Per Tuck, I think?
Oh, Per Tuck.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's hard to read.
I need my reading glasses.
He's a long-time listener and slave of the New World Order.
At least he knows his place.
I was listening to his show, 272, for the first time catching up while studying pediatric orthopedics.
It was a great show!
In particular, I'd like to recall one event.
While listening to the Carbon Credit section, I prepared myself some...
Tea brewed earlier.
We don't need a long narrative.
As John and Adam were building up on the discussion, I perked up my listening skills, leaned back in my chair, and taking a big gulp of tea, erroneous choice, apparently seconds later, I spewed the same tea all over my...
Oh, he did a spit take.
Yeah.
All right.
Awesome.
Well, why?
What was so awesome?
Well, he says, computer, iPads, notes, and carpet.
As Adam and John commented on who buys the paper of the buried cow poop, apparently idiots.
So we got a lot of awesome suggestions on how to jump on the carbon credits scam.
And one of the best ideas was, if you buy a carbon credit, one of the No Agenda listeners will take a nap.
Because when you take a nap, it's good, isn't it?
When you take a 30-minute nap, you're using up less resources.
You breathe slower.
I like it.
So I think it would be an excellent carbon credit.
I think you're on to something.
And we have like 4,000 people.
I've been taking more naps.
I get around 3 o'clock during the circadian cycle when it deteriorates.
You take a nap sometimes.
It's well worth a carbon credit.
And by the way, someone else pointed out that of CO2, two-thirds of CO2 is oxygen.
Why don't they call it an oxygen credit?
CO2. There's one carbon molecule and two oxygen.
Why is it called a carbon credit instead of an oxygen credit?
Well, it's tightly bound.
I don't know.
Anyway, Steve Quinton, $50.33.
We'll get a call out for his son, Connor, for his birthday shortly.
Then we have a bunch of $50 donors.
Arthur Kessler, Barry Wilson, George Vanderhorst.
Hey, George is back.
And actually, Sir Barry Wilson.
I'm sorry for not mentioning that.
Isaac Daigle in Brookings, South Carolina.
He wants to plug his website, linkboard.org.
We might find it useful, he says.
John Spitali, North Canton, Ohio.
Joshua Dale.
Sir Joshua, sorry.
Peter Totes in Sugar Land.
And Daniel Shimio.
Well, sorry.
Daniel's under the limit, but we mentioned him anyway.
Sorry, Daniel.
I didn't mean to say your last name.
That was a mistake.
Okay, anyway...
We want to thank all the people who donated that much and all the $33.33 subscribers, which is increasing.
And the $5.
And the $11.11, which we're trying to upgrade everyone who's donating $5 a month to go today.
So here it is.
And you can try this with a friend.
Take your birth year.
Take the last two digits, in my case it will be 64, and add it to the age you will be this year, in my case that will be 47, and if the total is 111, then you have to donate 1111 to the show.
Well, I wonder how often that works out.
It's your birthday, birthday!
On no agenda!
Happy birthday to Todd Simmons from Australia.
I believe he turns 23.
It's either that or 22 because Eric said he turns 223.
I doubt that's correct.
It was his birthday yesterday.
Tyler O'Brien turns 27 today, and Charles says happy birthday to Raphael Desiletsaub on the island of Gotland, Sweden.
Gotland, Sweden.
I know I butchered the name, I'm sorry, but Raphael turns 26 today, and Steve Quinton has a birthday shout-out for his son Connor, who turns 6 on this glorious day, the 27th of January, 2011.
Happy birthday from your friends here at No Agenda!
It's your birthday, yeah!
I think we need to extract the blades, John.
You got yours?
Sorry about that.
There it is.
Perfect.
John Edderman, please step forward.
John, you bought a No Agenda Challenge coin from NoAgendaChallenge.com.
Am I saying that correctly?
Let me double check that for a second.
Yeah, it is.
And because of that, you are now an honorary knight, but it's a full knighthood.
We pronounce you Sir John Edderman, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
NoahGenerChallengeCoin.com to be exact.
We should mention, by the way, that the reason the year is 200 and something is because Todd was giving us the birthday call out for Australia.
Oh.
Hey, your modem is clicking again.
Did you move something?
No, I didn't move anything.
Okay, I'm just saying.
How's that?
Yeah, it's kind of better.
So...
Let me see, I got a couple things here, and I think you definitely have some stuff to...
Well, first of all, it cannot be ignored, John.
It cannot be ignored that the world is freezing its butt off.
And, of course, this does not go well with the global warming climate change theory and all the models.
So a couple things.
There is a BBC documentary.
I've linked to the torrent in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
And it is the new president of the Royal Society...
It's like an hour long.
I started to pull clips from him.
I could just play the whole thing.
The whole thing is one big, you're a denier, and you deserve to die because you're a denier.
Are you crazy?
So, of course, it's hard not to deny the fact that it's pretty damn cold.
And in 2000, everyone was saying kids will never see snow again, and here we are 11 years later, and kids are seeing plenty of snow.
Plenty of them.
Lizards in New York, London snowed in, airports closed.
How does that work?
So we go to...
These guys are full of crap.
So we go to the compromised ABC News.
Diane Sawyer tosses to Sam Champion, who...
Whenever there's something to be communicated, like the New Madrid Fault, which I also have some news on, or the reason behind this incredible reversal of fortune we have.
We thought we were going to have beachfront property, nice and warm.
Now we're freezing our ass off.
Well, it's like a refrigerator door opening, John.
That's the reason Sam Champion has more.
It's hard to believe, but the official end to winter is still a couple of months away.
It's hard to believe.
This is Diane Sawyer programming you.
Not what millions of shivering Americans want to hear after all those weeks of record-breaking storms in Arctic air.
But while it may be cold comfort, experts now have some intriguing theories about what has been going on.
And here's our ABC weather editor, Sam Champion.
So, very interesting.
Listen to all the words that are being used.
Theories, hypotheses, experts.
This would fall under the category of...
Science!
The science is in!
So we have to give you an explanation because, you know, even regular folks who don't think about stuff are going, hey, wasn't it supposed to be warm?
How am I going to ask Sam Champion about that?
Three quarters of the United States is frigid cold, while the northern reaches of Canada and Greenland are experiencing temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above normal.
Scientists say it's the Arctic air, normally locked in place, that's seeping down into America.
There's damn Canadians.
They're letting their cold seep down on us again, John.
A little bit like opening the refrigerator and the cold air comes out and moves into the rest of the room.
It may have to do with the melting of the Arctic ice sheets.
What?
I knew you would love this.
What?
I'll explain it and then we'll listen.
Because the Arctic ice is melting...
It's like opening a refrigerator door and then the cold from that melting ice flows down to us in the south.
Downhill.
That's all, yeah, it's downhill.
It goes from north to south, from top to bottom.
Gentiline shows here where the ice was in the 70s.
The white area where the ice is now.
It's the jet stream that acts as a border between the Arctic air and the rest of the world, normally keeping the frigid air trapped near the North Pole.
Some studies now suggest that melting Arctic sea ice is making cold zones warmer, weakening the jet stream's grip, allowing colder air to spill down south.
Do you get it?
Are you with me?
Yeah.
Are you with me now?
Wow.
And by the way, Sam Champin, I don't know his credits, he looks like a guy who's in the gym all day long.
It doesn't look like he's studying science.
It looked like he's working out and working on his tan.
A recent hypothesis is that this heat coming out of the ocean is causing high pressure over the Arctic during the winter, and that's what might be forcing that cold air down to the south.
The result?
Scenes like these.
Five powerful winter storms in the eastern U.S. since December.
That cold air colliding with warmer air, producing blizzards in the northeast.
Ice in normally mild areas like Atlanta.
And then there's the cold.
Temperatures since December 1, 2010, have averaged below normal from Boston to New York City to Chicago and Minneapolis, but even in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Miami.
Woo!
Woo!
And there may be very little good weather news to look forward to.
We're already looking into the possibility that these Arctic intrusions may combine with other weather systems and make it an even tougher spring storm season as well.
Diane?
Oh, thanks a lot, Sam.
Keep the long underwear out.
Thanks so much.
Great to talk to you.
Yeah, it's the Arctic intrusion.
The only buzzword I missed!
Hey!
So it's everywhere.
Cold jumps Arctic fence, stoking winter's fury.
So in other words, when the jet stream...
Which shifts all over the place, comes and blasts us.
It's like it comes down instead of going across Canada or whatever it does at any given time.
That's essentially a refrigerator door.
It's everywhere, John.
Here, a chilly future for Britain with regular freezing winters if the Arctic continues to warm up, scientists warn.
Now, what you didn't see, and please look at this video.
It's in the show notes, obviously.
NoGenderShow.com.
When Diane Sawyer's introing Sam Champion, there's literally a polar bear on a sheet of ice floating in the Arctic behind her.
This is a bullshit photo.
It's a known fact that the shot of the polar bear is at one of two shots.
One, a very famous Photoshop job.
And the second one, the curious bear that jumped onto one of these ice floes so he could examine what was going on with the nearby ship.
When you see the polar bear, you're looking at whatever you're seeing as a piece of propaganda presentation from the get-go.
And NASA has another cartoon, one of those, you know, they have Sid the Science Kid who teaches you that it only hurts for a minute but the shot is good for you.
So they have Climate Kids Global Warming and...
It is so abhorrent.
They actually say, well, you should listen to a little bit of it, John.
Here, I'm just going to play it from climate.nsa.gov slash kids.
Listen to the scary music, kids!
It's scary!
Ain't that something?
So there's a polar bear, the same polar bear only is animated, sitting on a little piece of ice.
And by the way, polar bears are expert swimmers.
They're expert swimmers, and it's been proven that they're not going into extinction, that their numbers are actually growing.
Yeah, their numbers are up.
Their numbers are up.
Nobody wants to talk about that.
But listen to what, oh, well listen to what, so there's a little fish swimming by this piece of ice with the polar bear looking really angry on it, and here's the dialogue.
I don't know.
Hey!
Enjoying the show?
Excuse me, I'm working.
Kind of far as south for a polar bear, ain't ya?
Hey, looks like your ace is melting.
You don't say.
Look, my habitat is shrinking, and I obviously fell asleep on the wrong iceberg.
What'd you say?
Now leave me alone while I calculate how to get home.
Oh, you're missing all the shooting stars!
How horrible is this?
Hey, you forgot to carry the nine!
Uh-huh, yeah.
Look, I had to swim for miles to find a chunk of ice to climb onto.
This is terrible!
Now listen, listen, listen to this bit.
Listen to this bit.
Listen to this.
This is really unbelievable.
Nine!
Uh-huh, yeah.
Look, I had to swim for miles to find a chunk of ice to climb onto.
What'd you think?
If I don't get to rest once in a while, I won't have enough energy to hunt my next meal.
Oh, my God!
This is what they're teaching kids!
Because of the melting ice, I won't have enough energy to hunt for my next meal.
What the F? Unbelievable.
I'm going to read you something, okay?
If you have a minute, I've got two paragraphs.
On Thursdays and Sundays, I've got plenty of time for you, John.
The Arctic Ocean is warming up.
Burgs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday in Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in the climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures.
In the Arctic Zone exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met.
As far north as 81 degrees, 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters show that the Gulf Stream is still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones.
The report continued, while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no whitefish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never been before ventured so far north are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years, it's predicted that due to the ice melt, the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
November 2, 1922, by the Associated Press.
We're all...
Are we going to die or not?
It's taking too long.
How did we go from 1922 in the Arctic Ocean to the cold bull crap that took place in the 70s back to this same narrative?
This was from 1922, people.
This is a monstrous scam, and I don't understand how anybody buys into it.
That's it.
Just take your meds and shut up.
That's all you need to do.
Yeah, it's a huge scam.
It's a huge scam, and the BBC documentary is actually a well-known series called BBC Horizon, and the title is Science Under Attack.
Because people are attacking science.
They don't believe in science anymore.
It's a wonderful, wonderful piece to watch.
Unfortunately, you will find it wonderful as an awakened person who listens to No Agenda, not the way the makers intended it.
The makers intended to tell you that you are stupid, need to shut up, and not question the science.
Because the science is in.
Or...
The science is in!
The CDC is doing something kind of frightening as we come up on the flu season again.
They've been doing call-out research, John.
Call-out research from the Centers for Disease Control.
We have a clip.
Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We are conducting a nationwide study about childhood immunizations.
Would you please call us toll free at 1-866-999-3340 to let us know whether or not there are any children living or staying in this household.
The number again is 1-866-999-3340.
Thank you.
I'll be calling right away.
We want to see if you've got children in your household and have you given them their shots.
That's what that's about.
That's the Centers for Disease Control checking up on you.
How you doing?
Wow.
How you doing?
Yeah.
Play that Nazi stuff again.
Holy crap.
Meanwhile, what are the kids doing today in these states of Gitmo Nation?
It is becoming a trend among teenagers and college students.
Vodka eyeballing.
Fox 41's Valerie Chin explains this.
Hey, you got kids who can drink?
Are they vodka eyeballing?
No.
You know what this is?
Apparently they drink vodka through their eyeball.
Correct, sir!
I should have played the Ask John Cliff.
...of putting vodka straight into your eye.
It's a dangerous drink.
That's gotta hurt!
This is bogus!
No, man, listen!
...drinking game with two things that don't mix, vodka and your eyes.
This is bullcrap.
No, they've got tons of proof.
Teens and college students are finding a new use for vodka.
It's called vodka eyeballing or vodka balling.
Seen in dozens of YouTube videos, instead of drinking vodka, they're tipping back their heads and either taking the bottle or just a shot glass full, and they're pouring the vodka straight into their eyes.
Oh, this is bullcrap.
Some kids have dreamed this up just to fool the media.
All the kids are doing it, John, and we've got to stop them.
It's like that gag you try to pull with shaving with butter.
I don't know about the shaving with butter.
I never did that.
Try it.
Use butter instead of shave cream.
What happens?
And you get a really great shave.
Check it out.
Tell me what happens, please.
Tell me that's bad.
You'll probably figure it out.
Anyway, as we close out the biodiversité segment, I just want to call out GE as incredible.
Douchebag!
For their introduction of their new word, ecomagination.
Oh, yeah.
What a bunch of douchebags.
Ecomagination.
Ecomagination.
Give me a break.
Please.
Listen, would somebody please...
We've got tons of people who understand trading and markets.
We've got people in our audience who work at Goldman Sachs.
We got people.
We got people who understand this stuff.
Let's set up the carbon credit.
You buy a carbon credit and a member of the No Agenda listening audience will take a nap.
Because it's so ridiculous, it just might work.
Yeah, it might.
Nap for your environment.
Nap for progress.
Nap for the future.
Nap for the future.
Win the future with a nap.
We've got to come up with some good ones.
Nap for the future, I think, kind of works.
Nap and live.
So if you want to transition, I've got one.
Nap for Humanity.
Ooh, I like Nap for Humanity.
We'll come up with something good.
Someone will come up with a jingle, too, by the way.
We get a lot of jinglers.
We got some really good jingles.
Again.
Again.
You guys are so awesome.
Hey, we got this one.
Had you heard this one yet?
Before it's a crime, it's pre-crime.
I don't know where we'd use it, but it's pretty funny.
So, I got a blooper.
Oh, that's always fun.
Now tell me if you, I'm going to just play the clip straight up, and you tell me if you can find it in this clip.
Okay, hold on a second.
Oh, for some reason, my system is not liking it.
It's on a local news station.
Oh, here it is.
Okay.
Six days after a teacher in Marin County disappeared, police are now finally beginning the search for the 53-year-old.
Police won't say why it's taken them so long to launch an investigation into the disappearance of Debra Schmidt.
The teacher was declared missing after she failed to show up for work last Thursday at Tara Linda High.
She was apparently vodka-balling.
Debra Schmidt.
I love it when it's on TV. Yeah, that is funny.
And then they try to play it off like, that wasn't funny, dude.
Yeah, the other guy who is normally the sportscaster was his co-anchor and he was just not going to...
Yeah, that didn't just happen.
He didn't even give her the eye or anything.
He was just like, no, nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
I didn't hear it.
No, no, no, no, no.
That didn't happen.
Uh-uh.
No, that didn't happen.
Remember that trader in...
Commodities trader in Gitmo Nation East who bought up all the cocoa?
Remember that?
He was trying to corner the market on cocoa?
Yeah, vaguely.
Yeah.
Well, guess what happened?
May affect your sweet tooth.
President-elect Alassane Wattara has called for a month-long ban on cocoa exports from the West African nation.
Wattara is the U.N.-sanctioned winner of the country's November presidential election, but...
So, there you go.
U.N.-sanctioned, i.e., shill from the U.N., put in, and he immediately cuts off all cocoa exports.
Prices skyrocket.
Good move.
Think someone was in on that one?
The UN is a corrupt operation.
It's a criminal organization.
I'm convinced of it now.
And by the way, I've got this clip here.
I'd like to, you know, why does it do, you know...
What's the name of the people that lived there originally?
Slaves?
No, the people that were there before the slave traders showed up.
The indigenous is the word I'm looking for.
Slaves!
Indigenous slaves now.
Well, there are slaves in this situation.
I want you to play the Bolivians clip, but why do countries like Bolivia, or Peru for that matter, even though you don't have Peru in this story, why are these people subject to the whims of the United Nations when it comes to their natural inclination and traditions?
And in this case, we're discussing the chewing of the coca leaf.
Which is a very healthy thing to do.
It doesn't get anybody stoned or anything.
And I have actually been to Peru and been in the high in the Andes where everybody chews the leaves.
You literally can't move.
You need to chew coca leaves to wander around at 14,000 feet.
It's just not that easy.
I'm chewing them right now.
And the fact of the matter is you don't get a buzz or anything, and it's a very traditional thing to do, and the only reason they're chewing these leaves is not because they're addicted to them.
It's because they're practical.
And so I played this clip, and this is like a disgusting situation.
The Bolivians have to protest because the UN doesn't want them doing this practice.
They want, I guess, to drop dead up in the high Andes.
Indigenous activists in Bolivia have been holding a mass coca-chewing protest as part of a campaign to end an international ban on the practice.
Hundreds of people chewed the leaf outside the US Embassy in La Paz and in other cities.
The plants used in the Andes is a mild stimulant against fatigue and hunger.
Our reporter, Mattia Kibica, went to one of the protests.
Hundreds of indigenous Bolivians came to La Paz from many parts of the country and marched down to the Embassy of the United States.
They shouted, Coca is not cocaine, and sat on the ground for hours.
If they were chewing on poppies, it wouldn't be a problem.
Coca is not cocaine, that's the point.
Let me get my story about, I've tried this and I've used it in the high Andes, and let me just give you an example.
I'm with a group of people, I'm probably the oldest guy in the group, except for the people that live up in this little town.
I mean, there's a lot of old-timers up there, but...
I immediately gravitated to one of the old timers that had a big bag of the stuff.
And they showed me how to chew it and what you do with it.
So I chewed it up.
And there was a couple of younger people.
They're in their 20s.
Oh, no.
It's addictive.
I'm going to die.
I can't have this.
I've heard it's nothing you should be doing.
So they didn't chew, okay?
So we're walking around, walking around.
And I swear to God, these two people, the two would refuse to chew the coca leaf.
We're just about to drop dead.
Right.
And it was just, you have me, the older guy, wandering, you know, rocketing past them, you know, trying to, you know, get back to the bus.
I bet you were.
You're like, I'm Justin DeVore.
There's no way you could do that.
But these guys are bent over.
We're talking about you have to walk 100 yards.
Bent over every 10 yards.
Bent over completely.
Put their hands on their knees and breathing heavily, trying to catch their breath.
And then they walk another 10 yards, the same thing.
It was just astonishing to me.
And the fact of the matter is this is bull crap, this ban on the practice, as though it's some sort of, you know, these guys are all strung out.
Coca is not cocaine.
So let me ask you this question.
In Afghanistan, CNN reports, in a far-flung corner of northern Afghanistan, Aziza reaches into a dark wooden cupboard, rummages around, and pulls out a small lump of something wrapped in plastic.
She unwraps it, breaking off a small chunk as if it were chocolate, and feeds it to her four-year-old son, Oma Dula.
It's his breakfast, a lump of pure opium.
If I don't give him opium, he doesn't sleep, she says, and he doesn't let me work.
I bet it does knock him on his butt.
We give the children opium whenever they get sick as well, she says.
I bet that's actually probably good.
Pure opium probably does help you if you're sick.
It probably does.
It wouldn't hurt.
Oh, this is part of Obamacare.
With no real medical care in these parts and the high cost of medicine, all families out here know it's opium.
Yeah, well, why don't the UN go in there and crack down?
No way.
This is good.
We need to make more opium.
This is our business, dude.
Yeah, it's a pathetic situation.
It's our business.
We love it.
So, you know, what were we doing last week?
You know, dailies come in.
You know, everything's Chicago-centric.
I thought it was amusing with all the Chicago-centric news and the fact that, of course, Rahm Emanuel, who was not on the ballot one minute, and then the next minute because he doesn't live in Chicago and hasn't lived in Chicago, but he wants to be mayor.
They quickly turned that around, didn't they?
And I understand it's actually in the Illinois Constitution, right?
It says specifically that if you are a sitting senator or official, not the chief of staff, Or Ari Emanuel's brother.
That doesn't count.
That you can come back after, you know, any period of time and be eligible for a position like that.
But not if you're, you know, he was not as, he was not in office in Illinois.
Right.
It's in the Illinois Constitution.
Well, Constitution, schmonstitution.
Exactly.
So let's play new TV show.
Oh, no!
Hold on a second.
This sounds promising.
Let's do this.
You and I are going to ride the city.
We're going to pick the cases that really matter.
How do I know I can trust you?
You don't need to worry about me.
I'm terrified that something's going to happen to you.
This is about handling a cop killer.
We are resisting!
Welcome to zero television.
You disobeyed my explicit order.
If you want to take on corruption, this is how it's done.
Chicago Code.
That premieres Monday, February 7th on Fox.
Oh, yeah.
What's it called?
Chicago Code.
Number one show again.
Now playing on Channel 33.
Over Milwaukee.
Is that still the same promo?
No, it's some other crappy promo.
But did you notice that the Welcome to Zero Tolerance Shut up, slave.
I love it.
That's awesome.
Good one.
Yeah, you know it's going to suck.
Oh, I love it.
That's just amazing.
So, you know, we missed the big news story.
Oh, wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
And now, back to real news.
Oprah has a half-sister!
Yeah, well, that's the real news story, but that's good.
Yeah, you got me on that.
I forgot about that one.
That is the real news story.
And what I love so much, because, you know, Mickey, who, I mean, you met her before we actually were together, and she was a different person then.
And I say, hey, you missed the big news story.
I said, Oprah has a half-sister.
She says, oh, how convenient, right in time for the promotion of her new network.
I'm like, oh, baby, I love you.
You understand it so much.
Totally gets it.
I think most of our listeners are on that level now.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Absolutely.
So, yeah, I know.
It's just Oprah's in tears and the whole thing.
What did we miss?
What big news story?
There's no meat in a Taco Bell taco!
But there is sawdust, apparently.
I loved it so much.
It was so fun.
Like, really?
Huh?
There's no meat in there?
Huh?
Lawsuit filed in beef over Taco Bell meat, quote unquote.
Apparently it's like 35% beef.
35% of the taco filling was a solid and just 15% overall was protein.
35% was solid.
How much meat was in there is like still mysterious.
It was sawdust, I'm telling you.
It was sawdust.
That's all that it is.
It's pathetic.
What?
That people didn't know that or that it's actually true?
Well, that's actually kind of part of it.
It's kind of pathetic that this went on for so long.
Where's the FTC? Where's all these agencies, these great government agencies that Ron Paul wants to shut down for obviously good reasons?
They're not doing their job.
How does this go on?
This has been going on for apparently a decade where the meat is not meat.
It's not even enough percentage to say it's beef.
Where are these great government agencies that are supposed to be protecting the public because we have such great food in this country, as Obama mentioned in his keynote or his State of the Union?
Where is everybody?
Somebody has to sue in court.
We don't need government agencies if that's how it's going to be done.
Anybody could, I mean, if it's going to just go to the court system.
I mean, this is unbelievable to me.
This is like the SEC and the Madoff thing.
What good are they if they can't stop a guy who's ripping off 50 billion plus dollars?
I mean, these agencies are useless.
Keep going.
That's it.
John C. DeVore, ex-petive of the day.
And I'm actually in agreement with Ron Paul when he says we should shut down the Department of Energy.
What do they do?
The Department of Education.
Somebody pointed out in one of these talk shows that the Department of Education, we have one in the United States.
In Canada, there is no such department and all their kids come up with higher scores than our kids.
What does the Department of Education do?
It takes money from the states and then gives the money back to the states.
It's a huge scam.
It determines the curriculum, which is the scary part.
That's the scary part.
It puts global warming crap into the books and anti-Muslim propaganda into the books.
Kids who listen to the show send it to me all the time.
They scan their school books and say, oh my god, I can't believe it.
You know, the history of the Islam faith.
And it goes back to like Muhammad, and then it goes right up to the World Trade Center, 9-11.
That's in the timeline of the Islam faith.
In actual school books.
It's crazy.
Well, I'll tell you where we're headed.
This made me kind of laugh.
Where is Jaya?
Jaya?
How do you spell Jaya?
Petaling Jaya.
How do you spell it?
J-A-Y-A. Petaling Jaya.
I have no idea.
This has got to be...
I think this is an African country, isn't it?
I don't think it's a country.
It sounds more like an island.
J-A-Y-A? Yeah, the Institute of Medical Research near Bentong.
Where's Bentong?
Come on, John.
Don't you know this stuff?
Who knows any of this?
I mean, they keep changing the names of these places.
The Institute of Medical Research released 6,000 genetically modified mosquitoes in a forest near Bentong last month.
To test their flight range and ability to survive in a fresh attempt by the government to combat dengue fever.
And according to an IMR statement, the release was made December 21st.
The experiment concluded on January 5th.
Of course, people are a little bit upset.
People think it's deplorable that the IMR chose to announce this release of genetically modified, possibly infected mesquite a month after they've already done it.
The statement from the National Biosafety Board, and pay attention, human resources and Gitmo Nation, this is coming.
The quote is, it does not matter whether the public likes it or not.
Like, at least they're honest.
Oh, I love that.
I'm like, okay.
I think we should be saying that here more often.
Yeah, they should say that in Congress.
It doesn't matter.
Like it or lump it.
Like it or lump it, just take a nap.
That's what y'all need to do.
Take a little nap.
Bath salts now illegal in Florida.
Sales and possession of bath salt illegal.
Another no agenda first.
You heard about the kids getting high on the bath salts.
It's okay because we'll just move right along.
We'll just move on to vodka balling.
This is a vodka thing.
This is bull crap.
What network bought into this?
Can you imagine here just like suckering some bonehead at the network to try and get a shot glass of vodka.
Then you throw it into your eye.
Oh brother, that's got to hurt like hell.
By the way, it's not just any old bath salt.
It is only Route 69, White Rush, Bolivian Bath, Vanilla Sky, and a few others.
Oh, we have a video clip.
Hold on a second.
We have a statement.
They all sound like drugs.
Hold on, we have a statement, I think.
Can I play this?
How does this work?
Let's see.
This will be fun.
Let's listen to this.
Oh, don't tell me.
We'll probably have a pre-roll first.
Where is this coming from?
Oh, it's always a pre-roll.
You suffer from painful cramping, achy legs that interfere with your daily activity.
That's interesting.
Only one channel?
Vascular Associates, LLC. My God, that's a horrible commercial.
With only the left channel.
That's bad.
Let's see if the report is only one channel, then let's see.
That's you.
Bath salts that go by the names Route 69, White Rush, Bolivian Bath, Vanilla Sky, and many others were banned today by the state.
Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an emergency order this afternoon making it a felony to sell or possess the salts.
A felony!
No salt for you!
News Channel 7's Erica Rake who joins us live in our newsroom.
Yes, Nisa.
Attorney General Pam Bondi called a news conference late this afternoon where she announced the filing of an emergency rule that will add substances containing MDVP, which is the ingredient in bath salts, to the schedule of controlled substances.
Bondi was joined by Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen and other law enforcement officials.
That's bullcrap.
You can't make an ex post facto law.
If I bought those bath salts last week before the law passed and I possessed them, it wouldn't be a felony for me to possess them.
It's in play.
You can't pass a law after the fact.
Oh, surely you are mistaken, Mr.
Dvorak, because you are a stupid slave and need to shut up.
Don't question the law.
Take your meds.
Hey, take your meds.
FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey.
And representatives Jimmy Petronis, Marty Coley, and Brad Drake.
Together, they announced that due to...
Oh, you've got to see this video.
So they got the bath salt, like, tipped out on the table.
It looks like a big pile of coke.
Well, then they're committing a felony.
...the side effects involved with substances containing MDVP. The state is filing the emergency rule.
It's the emergency rule.
Apparently the emergency rule supersedes everything else you've learned.
Bondi says this will provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to take dangerous substances off the shelves and protect the abusers from themselves and others.
She went on to say these drugs are dangerous and should not be confused with any type of common bath product.
Sure looks like a bath.
Tools.
We need some more tools.
So I got so many, I'm not going to get into it, but I got so many emails about the salt conversation we had.
And actually not salt, but sodium.
Sodium, yeah, I know.
It's only 40% of sodium chloride.
I got a million of them.
But I did like the...
So basically, it's like sugar.
Instead of saying salt or say sodium chloride, are you clipping your nails again?
That's funny.
Sounds like it, but no, I'm doing this.
Are you bored?
Am I... Annoying you or something?
No, just something I'm doing.
Okay.
Well, do it quietly.
People pointed out a lot of sodium that should be reduced.
I.e., monosodium glutamate, MSG. It would be good if that was reduced, although we don't think the government means that.
Sodium bicarbonate, probably also in our food.
That should be reduced.
That's baking soda.
Sodium hydroxide is definitely one we don't want in our food.
That's caustic soda, better known as lye.
Yeah, there's actually a little...
In the coffee drink, cava, to neutralize the acid, they actually use sodium hydroxide.
And how about sodium thiopenta?
Isn't that the truth serum?
No, that's the...
Yeah, that'll send you right to the land of the truth.
That is, I think, the sodium they inject if they're going to kill you by lethal injection.
Oh, okay.
Which I think is also truth serum.
They just give you more.
It's the Ministry of Truth!
Wow, I didn't know that.
I thought there was sodium pentothal.
I think there's a bunch of these.
There's a variety of them.
Yes, sodium pentothal is the main one for truth serum.
But I think this thing is related or it's similar.
There's something.
I was reading about this once a couple years ago and it's vague to me now.
Apparently, Ohio is switching its lethal injection drug to one typically used to euthanize animals following a worsening shortage of the original drug.
Yeah, this shortage thing is kind of annoying.
Apparently, they only can get it from China.
Where they make it in high quantities, apparently.
And put it in the baby formula.
Which they ship to us.
Anyway, so we don't need to go back to the topic other than just pay attention to the words people use.
That's all.
And talking about policing, play this clip.
Let's listen to this clip on Weird Gang Report.
And there's a couple of...
I don't know.
Maybe it's just a poor presentation or they misread the teleprompter.
I'm not absolutely sure.
But it actually makes no sense.
There's a protest going on in Oakland by gangs, at least one gang in particular, about anti-gang violence.
That kind of legislation, local legislation to allow the police to pick up gang members more easily.
Youth groups demanding more city programs and less police enforcement showed up at Oakland City Hall today to fight a proposed injunction against members of the Norteño gang.
City Attorney John Russo and police are pushing for the legal maneuver to curb crime in the city's Fruitvale district.
That injunction would allow cops to arrest gang members involved in any type of illegal activity.
Protesters say it gives police too much license to racially profile people of color.
They're also calling for an end to the city attorney's temporary gang injunction already in place in North Oakland.
So, let me, here's the sentence that has me baffled.
Okay.
It allows police to arrest anyone involved in illegal activity.
Right.
Don't they have this anyway?
I mean, what do you mean it allows them to arrest people involved in illegal activity?
I don't understand it myself.
Okay.
I just want to make sure it wasn't me.
Quick trip around Gitmo Nation, everybody.
We have Gitmo Nation East, a lot of interesting things happening.
Police now standing outside of clubs.
As the human resources try to enter the club, they scan their money...
And their other possessions for traces of drugs.
If it's found, they lock you up.
They take you away.
All the money has traces of drugs.
Of course it does.
It's a known fact.
They've also started tagging bottles of alcohol with a marker.
Now where was this?
Where is this tracing the drug thing?
Where is this?
Gitmo Nation, East Britain.
All the money has traces of drugs.
That's the joke of it.
They're trying to get people in England to stop going out.
This is in Kent.
Armed with mobile trace.
That's a GE device, by the way.
GE, that's the guy who our president just appointed head honcho of all things competition.
And Economics?
GE. Armed with mobile trace and itemizer trace detection units and supported by drug dogs, Kent officers set up posts at local hotspots with full cooperation of their owners and require testing for narcotics as a condition of entry.
We scan you, slave.
What?
Yeah, they're scanning the kids to see if there's any drugs.
It's like if you've been in contact with explosives.
Only this is for drugs.
And, oh, there's a...
It's unbelievable.
It's pre-crime is what it is.
Yeah, totally pre-crime.
I'm actually stunned that the people of Great Britain put up with this in the way that they do.
Did you know we never mentioned Dvorak.org slash NA? No, that's bad.
ChannelDvorak.com slash NA? That's bad.
That's very bad.
Well, we can do it at the end of the show, which is nigh.
Let me just finish the Gitmo Nation roundup, because there is some interesting stuff.
Gitmo Nation fjord Norwegian police, seeking information on two bloggers, took data from 7,000 accounts, so there's no privacy there.
China, Gitmo Nation Kung Fu, plans a new megacity.
42 million people will live in this megacity.
Wow.
They have a bunch of these kind of dormant cities that they're waiting to put people into.
This is the ones we talked about.
It's actually quite interesting.
I'd love to get a tour of some of these places before they're actually populated.
This morning I got a Skype call from Eli Roth, my friend who's director.
He's well known for his horror movies.
He's out in China.
He's been there for two months and he's filming a movie with RZA called The Man with the Iron Fists.
It's like Lucy Liu and Russell Crowe and stuff.
And he's like, you know, everything's great here.
They got like 700 people a day on the set.
700 people.
And they're making all the wardrobe by hand.
This is an amazing country.
But he had regular internet through a VPN. Yeah.
That sounds right.
Yeah.
He's just like, oh, you know, it sucks a little because we are going through a VPN, but, you know, I can get everything I want.
I can get to the Great Wall, the Firewall of China.
He's out somewhere near Shanghai, I guess.
He told me I forgot.
Well, I'm surprised these movie guys haven't done a deal with China to use these moribund cities.
Right, as sets.
As sets.
I think that's close.
I think if he did this movie in the United States, now granted it's a kung fu movie so it kind of makes sense to do it there, it would have cost him ten times as much.
I mean, Shanghai is the new Toronto for the movie business.
But he says the happy endings in Shanghai are not so happy.
That was the basic message.
What does that mean?
I guess the hookers are no good.
I don't know.
It's Eli.
You've got to know Eli.
Of course, we had this horrible, and I think that it hasn't been used against us yet, but this horrible bomb explosion in the Moscow airport.
Yeah.
Now, it was at Arrival's.
Not at departures and not at the...
I don't know.
But, you know, this is going to be more scanners for everybody.
It's going to be used against us.
Whatever.
It sounds really bad what happened there in Gitmo Nation babushka.
We have...
I did Down Under.
Borscht.
Borscht, right.
Gitmo Nation Pickled Herring.
That's Denmark.
The government there is telling their slaves that they will be raising the age that you can take your pension or retire to 71.
Wow.
That's pushing it.
There you go.
71, I tell you.
Yeah, that's going to happen here.
And I discovered something very interesting.
Now, you are quite religious about calling yourself John C. Dvorak.
Can I just ask you, is there a particular reason for that?
For one thing, there's four writers named John Dvorak.
And each one of them is different, and they have a different middle initial, and it's a good point to differentiate.
And also, I think it just sounds better, and I like the looks of it better.
I like everything about it.
So I think, your middle name is Charles, I believe.
It's Computer.
Right.
My middle name is Clark, so I'm Adam Clark Curry, and I believe that I... Actually, that's a good sounding name.
It is.
I believe I have to move towards using my full name, and I'll tell you why.
Adam Clark Curry.
Yeah.
I think I have to move towards using the full name, or at least the middle initial.
Now, Mickey and I, we decided we want to move out of here for a number of reasons.
One, it's expensive.
Two, and we live now on the support of the show, and I got my daughter.
It doesn't matter.
It's expensive.
And I think probably now, compared to a year ago, we can get something maybe even bigger for less money.
So we're looking around.
That will continue.
Yes, that will continue.
And we don't mind moving around from year to year.
That's okay.
We're nomads like that.
And it's good.
But we do agree that, at least for the time being, we have to live in the milieu of...
Of Los Angeles, because it's important for the show.
You would agree, right?
I mean, you've got to be up there in the kind of northern Silicon Valley for your work, and it's important for the show.
Well, it's also important for Mickey, if she wants to get a job as an actress, she'd need to be in the milieu.
She actually said that she would be prepared to move to Montana or Australia.
Well, you know, she might get work there.
She can work anywhere.
Montana, no.
She's not getting a job there.
Forget it.
Well, that's beside the point.
So, now, we got this place.
As you know, this is a former house that was used by Vivid Entertainment for porn movies.
And the landlord, landlady, is definitely of dubious nature.
And she did not do a credit check when we said we want to rent this place.
Just give me my deposit and you're good to go.
So, if you want to rent a place, particularly these days, you get a credit check.
Now, what do we know about Adam's credit?
Adam has no credit.
It's been destroyed somehow.
And I'm like, I'm freaking out because we want to move, but if I get a credit check, it's like I get denied for everything.
Literally.
Even Southwest Airlines keep sending me, oh, get our credit card.
I keep getting denied.
I don't need one because I like living on cash, but if you want to get a house, unless you want to somehow magically pay a year in advance, then you've got to have a reasonable credit check.
So, I do one of those, request my credit report, and I start looking at what's going on, because I need to fix whatever is wrong.
I have a credit score of almost 800.
I'm like, what?
And that's like outstanding credit, right?
Yeah.
Turns out, if I use the name Adam Clark Curry, it's all good.
If I use the name Adam Curry, there's like a huge lockdown.
It's like, grab the guy and put him in handcuffs.
Well, this may relate back to the terrorist Adam Curry.
Exactly.
It does relate back to when I was denied entry into the country for over a year, and I had to go through secondary or tertiary screening process, and they would never tell me what was going on, other than that some evil Adam Curry, apparently in Oklahoma...
I thought it was in the Dakotas.
No, I thought it was Oklahoma.
But now you look at the credit report.
So it has my previous address in New Jersey from 20 years ago.
No, I'm sorry.
12 years ago.
But then it has an address in Florida and an address in upstate New York.
I mean, I've got real problems with my identity.
When did you live in upstate New York?
I didn't.
I didn't.
I never lived there.
I never lived in Florida.
But it's on my credit report.
And that's, of course, because of the evil Adam Curry, which is why I have to start using Adam Clark Curry on everything in order to move freely in this Gitmo nation.
Huh.
It's weird, right?
Yeah, it is weird.
I mean, I thought everything, oh, the Social Security number was going to clear all this up.
No.
No, it doesn't.
Yeah, you have an enviable credit rating.
800 is like...
700 is considered good.
Take the Lamborghini right now.
Anyway.
Just a quick note on the earthquake machine.
We have a dry...
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Hold on before you leave this topic.
Do you want to be called Adam Clark Curry?
And with Adam Clark Curry, I think I have to move to that.
Well, you don't have to be called that as your show business name.
I'm not in show business anymore.
What about the show?
This is a show.
It's a show business.
I'm in the truth business.
Well, you have to kind of...
Adam Clark Curry.
That has a ring to it.
Adam Clark.
I'm Adam Clark Curry.
Good morning, everybody.
Yeah, you sound like a bogus BBC guy.
The science is on Adam Clark Curry.
And in Nepal, Adam Clark Curry has a revolution.
Thank you, John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry here in Nepal, where we are currently experiencing the mauve revolution.
All right, everyone in British Columbia, today is not the real big one.
It's just a drill for a dry run in case you get the big one.
That's the earthquake machine test.
And for those of you following the new Madrid, or as we say, Madrid, Which I have said probably we're going to have an earthquake there in May.
That's when they're going to turn it on.
The FEMA people have sent out an RFI, a request for information for pre-packaged commercial meals and hydration supplies for disaster relief.
So I don't know, how does that work with a drill?
You know, it's like pointless.
But they're actually asking for like millions of pre-packaged meals.
Why?
Because I think they're going to turn on the earthquake machine there.
Well...
It seems pretty sketchy.
I saw this report, too, and I'm going, wow.
Well, did you see the RFI? It's on our official website.
It's an official FEMA request for information.
Or do you just think they just want to know what it's going to cost and see?
Because they need to have this stuff ready.
Oh, that's an interesting idea.
Scam.
Instead of doing the real work, put out an RFI or RFP for all matters, and you can get to look at the prices.
Huh.
That's a cheap-ass way to do research.
I like it.
That could be.
That's a good one, actually.
I hadn't thought of that one.
Yeah.
All right.
I see you have science in schools.
Do we need that, or is that...
Nah, it's not important.
All right.
She's talking about the fact that the matter is that the science test came out showed that everyone's an idiot, but California apparently is right at the bottom of the list.
I mean, what happened to California?
California.
Well, apparently everyone loves the new taxes Jerry Brown wants to put on us.
That's what the Ministry of Truth is saying.
Everyone's all for it.
Oh yeah, the general public, from my experience over the years, loves being taxed.
Yeah, we love it.
41% say, let's do it now, Jerry.
We love you for it.
We're already paying 10% income tax here, in addition to our 35% federal tax.
Oh well.
So I will do an end of show clip, which is M4GW, a fine cover of the Monkees' I'm a Believer.

They denounce you.
So, enjoy your denunciation.
We'll talk to you on Sunday.
I'm Adam Curry in Gitmo Nation West, People's Republic of Southern California.
And in Northern Silicon Valley, where spring has sprung, or so it seems.
It's a bluff.
I'm John C. Devorak.
We will talk to you again for early morning service Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
I thought the earth was heating up like a four-man grill.
I thought the poles were melting like a fondue pot.
I was a greedy.
I hated SUVs.
I used to cringe when cows would cut the cheese.
Then I checked the facts.
We can all relax.
The plan is just fine.
It was all a hoax.
I'm a denier.
The world's not on fire.
It's just a lie.
It turns out global warming was just a Ponzi scheme.
Seems the more lies they told, the more money they got.
They got Nobel Prizes and an Oscar too.
It seemed like there was nothing we could do.
Then came ClimateGate.
Now I'm a denier.
There is no debate or doubt in my mind.
It was all a hoax.
I'm a denier.
Will's not fire.
It's just a lie.
Well, alright.
The science is in!
Science!
They got Nobel Prizes.
And an Oscar too.
It seemed like there was nothing we could do.
Then came Climategate.
Now I'm a denier.
There was no debate or doubt in my mind.
It was all a hoax.
I'm a denier.
The world's not a fire, it's just a lie.
Then came Climategate.
Now I'm a denier There is no debate We're down in my mind I'm a denier, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm a denier Yeah, I'm a denier, yeah I'm a denier Yeah, I'm a denier, yeah I'm a denier Yeah, I'm a denier, yeah
