Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 277.
This is no agenda.
Deconstructing the press releases.
The mainstream passes off as news.
Live from the Hilltop Watchtower Cricpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where the price of gasoline is up, up, up.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Yay!
What is it now?
I don't know.
355?
360?
I think it's 360, 370.
380, I've seen.
It's getting there.
In the morning to you.
San Francisco, it's always like 380, something like that.
In the morning to you, John.
In the morning to you, in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground.
Wings in the skies, foots in the oceans, checks in the mails, bakers in the kitchens, dungs in the pits, astronauts manning the moon and Mars base stations, anyone napping for humanity, hams on the air, and human resources throwing shoes and boots everywhere, especially those in the chatroom, noagendastream.com, where everyone is charged up and ready, full of electricity the way their government needs them to be, to be good little human resources.
I'm happy to have you aboard.
I spent most of my morning tracking down an electrical fault.
Oh yeah, what did you have?
What was wrong?
Well, I remember when the stream...
I don't know.
You probably don't remember.
Yesterday, when I was in San Francisco, the stream went down.
Of course, we have so many awesome human resources manning this open-source radio project we have that, of course, something pops up and the show continues as normal.
And I couldn't figure it out because the whole system was offline.
I come home and a fuse is blown.
This is one of these things that's kind of hard to manage remotely.
A fuse or a breaker?
A breaker, I'm sorry.
Good point.
And so, you know, I reset the breaker and I start everything up again.
And then this morning I wake up and, lo and behold, the breaker's tripped again.
So, all right, now I've got to go figure out where it is, which consists of systematically unplugging things, walking around.
Turns out it's an outside light.
Oh.
Yeah, one of those.
Yeah, them outside plugs, they go out all the time.
Yeah, well, it's not a plug, it's just a...
Yeah, wire outside.
Yeah, so I've taped it off.
Big gaffer tape across the switch.
Do not switch.
If we go dark, you know what's happening.
So there's a lot of weird news.
Not just weird news, but a lot of news in general.
You want to kick it off?
I mean, the main thing for me was the obvious indoctrination.
I just got word this morning that there is an emergency vote on the Patriot Act today.
Now, of course, I know this is great, isn't it?
Yeah.
Two days ago, there were three provisions.
I mean, we should step back to the Patriot Act, which was set in...
When was that set in place?
In 2003?
No, no, right after...
Oh, that's right.
They had it ready.
I forgot.
Yeah, they had it all written up and ready to go.
And so that went right after 9-11.
And, of course, this was not just about terrorism.
It was about spying on the citizens of Gitmo Nation, tapping your phones, just being able to arrest you for any reason, just all of this crazy stuff.
And this stuff has a sunset provision.
It expires.
It goes away.
Now, it kept on getting renewed and was up for renewal or up for expiration, and they were trying to renew it through December of this year.
And it's necessary.
If we want to keep tabs on the slaves, then we've got to keep that going, right?
And so it gets voted down.
Or three provisions in a bill gets voted down.
Yeah, like the wiretapping thing for sure.
Right.
So, of course, this is no good.
And the weird thing was, it was the Republicans that voted it out.
I know!
They're the ones who voted it in.
What is it?
Make up your minds, guys.
Well, it's interesting.
Someone did something really cool because...
It wasn't just...
If they had gone by the old rules where you needed a two-thirds majority, it would have gone through.
But somehow someone changed the rules and now it only had to be a regular majority.
So there's someone on the inside doing something good, which I appreciate.
So this, of course, doesn't work.
So Lucy, better known as Janet Napolitano, amazingly, at the right day, the right moment, on the day of the vote, which of course is perfect scheduling for the news media, testifies with Leitner.
I guess that's her dude.
That's her right-hand man from the Department of Homeland Security.
And they testify before Congress, and it's unbelievable!
It's just unbelievable the things that are coming out of her mouth, clearly targeted at getting into the newspapers with...
Well, I have a clip here, so we might as well listen to how incredibly dangerous it is, because, John, in case you didn't know, in many ways, we are at the highest level of threat from terror since 9-11.
Wow.
Yes, I hope you were aware.
...now to the subject and the very important subject of today's hearing.
There is no question that we have made many important strides in securing our country from terrorism since 9-11.
But the threat continues to evolve, and in some ways the threat today may be at its most heightened state since the attacks nearly 10 years ago.
What?
Yeah, I love this.
But she's very coy and very smart, and she says, in some ways.
What ways?
What ways?
Somebody should call her out.
No, no one is going to call her out.
Come on.
They're all sleeping.
But it's so unbelievable.
Now, we have one of our producers.
I think it's Mark Kearns, I want to say.
Because this was a two-and-a-half-hour C-SPAN show.
Extravaganza.
Just gold.
Just complete gold in this C-SPAN testimony.
And I was traveling.
And he...
Actually, I'm seeing more and more No Agenda producers doing this, which is just fantastic.
He's like, you know what?
Not only did I watch it for you, I actually pulled some clips.
So he pre-produced this.
All right.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
So he got a couple...
Do you want to just do a couple of these clips?
Because it'll just blow you away.
I love Lucy.
Well, Lightner's even better because...
He's the next, he'll be taken over.
Oh yeah, no, he'll totally be taken over as Lucy goes off into...
Herd Leitner.
Yeah, goes off...
Herd Leitner.
Exactly.
So let me just pull out a couple of quotes here.
Some just amazing stuff from good old Lucy here, what she had to say.
Secretary Napolitano, in your testimony...
You went to great lengths to describe the involving threat on the homeland.
On the homeland!
Relative to homegrown terrorists.
On the hinterland!
Das Vaterland!
Homeland!
Das United States of America!
Law enforcement agencies have also talked about neo-Nazis and bi-neutral extremists.
Yeah!
We're already at Hitler.
We haven't even started.
Yeah.
Let's put them in the pot.
It's great.
It's great.
And anti-tax groups.
Oh!
Anti-tax groups.
Oh, yeah.
Jail them.
Oh, yeah.
No, this is...
I'll play that for you in a moment.
This idiot just say Republicans.
No, it's actually anti-government.
They're just saying it now.
It's not like written down somewhere in like a little thingy.
No, now they're just coming out and saying it.
Hey, you're against taxes, you're terrorists.
...prevalent than Al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist organizations.
Have you all looked at this to see if that...
Now, you know that this is a script.
It's like, alright, listen, you old guy there, you need to ask this question if anti-tax people are terrorists, and ask me if I've looked into it.
Representative Thompson, not in that sense.
I mean, we don't have, like, a scorecard.
The plain fact of the matter is that from a law enforcement terrorist prevention perspective, we have to prepare law enforcement and communities for both types of acts.
So, um...
She's got all...
I mean, it's just filled with al-Qaeda this, al-Qaeda that.
It just doesn't stop with Lucy.
And in some ways, the threat today may be at its most heightened state since the attacks nearly 10 years ago.
In addition to the core al-Qaeda group, which still represents a threat to the United States despite its diminished capabilities, we now face threats from a number of al-Qaeda associates.
Ah!
They're associates, John.
They're business associates.
That's who we have to look out for.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, let's talk about these al-Qaeda associates.
And in some ways, the threat to...
Hold on a second.
I deleted the wrong one.
Sorry.
Forget about that.
Let me move over to Leitner.
What did you do, blow it up?
Yeah.
I got confused.
Leitner was actually more entertaining because he really got into it.
And so the first thing is, it's so clear that Al-Qaeda is recruiting people in the homeland, in the Al-Fat-a-land, because they launched a new magazine.
Oh, they got a new magazine out.
That's fantastic.
Specifically, over the past year, AQAP released four issues of its magazine, English magazine Inspire, which attempts to persuade adherents to launch attacks on their own in the West.
That's right.
It's pushing people to launch attacks of their own in the West, but we've got to look out.
We're focused on continuing to lead information integration across the U.S. government for counterterrorism purposes.
We have always had access to a plethora of databases that can conduct Oh, information technology architecture.
It's called Facebook.
We've got our databases, our information architecture technology with SkipLogic and some COBOL in there.
It's called Facebook.
And that's how we're tracking everything.
We're watching the tubes.
So, uh...
Hold on a second.
And then he drops this little ditty.
Let us know what's really going on.
Offensive pressure that we're applying to Al-Qaeda in Pakistan.
Oh, Al-Qaeda in Pakistan.
Now they're actually just saying it.
The war is in Pakistan, everybody.
So maybe even more interesting is Lucy then goes on another C-SPAN show.
And this is a sit-down interview.
And she talks about a couple of things that are very, very disturbing.
One is a new version of terrorist we have, John.
The Lone Wolf.
This is the meme we've got to look out for.
The lone wolf terrorist.
This is someone who's very hard to track.
He's not really affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
He's just some pissed off person.
Exactly.
Who's against the government and doesn't like being taxed.
So he's a lone wolf.
He's a lone wolf.
He's a lone wolf.
Perhaps in some type of a conspiracy with a foreign entity, but as individuals as opposed to large groups of people.
What specifically is the department doing to try to make sure that it's positioned to try to identify, you know...
By the way, this is C-SPAN editorializing by saying, well, you know, we know we got these lone wolves out there.
What is this guy?
Is he just reading off the teleprompter?
I have no idea where that comes from.
Well, he's like, well, we have this lone wolf.
It's well known, John.
A well-known lone wolf.
Well-known.
Just ask him some questions.
Put him aside.
Take him aside and say, hey, buddy.
Hey, what you doing?
A single lone wolf.
Here we go.
Individual acting as opposed to in a group on September 11th.
What are you doing to make sure that you're going to be in front on the next incident?
He's got that kind of weird, nervous patter that...
MKUltra's suspects have.
No, no, like CNN's white-haired guy, your buddy Vanderbilt.
Oh, Anderson.
Yeah, he does have that kind of nervous stutter.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
No, it's because he's MKUltra.
I'd like Anderson, Vanderbilt, Cooper.
Same thing.
He's got a chip.
Eric, it is tough.
I mean, the...
Notice, by the way, Eric.
Eric.
Eric, as we discussed earlier, Eric, it is tough.
Uh...
The so-called lone wolf or the individual who's not part of a conspiracy, who isn't using any kind of complicated weaponry.
You know, like your neighbor, just some douche.
He's got no complicated weaponry.
He's got no group he's hanging out with.
These are the guys we've got to go get, you know, troublemakers.
Unless they're giving off real tips ahead of time, it's very difficult to prevent them from committing an act of terrorism.
And I think we're struggling with that.
The FBI is struggling with that.
The NCTC, the National Counterterrorism Center, we have all been struggling with how do we do that.
And really, the most effective things I think we can do right now are the things I was just describing to you, which is Asking individuals to be alert about their surroundings.
Having police that are trained to recognize suspicious activities that could be a tip-off that something is going to happen.
And then a third thing, which is to make sure that our communities are prepared to be resilient.
Yes, resilient.
This falls, of course, under the heading...
And then she gets really, it gets really weird because they've come out with the new software for the scanners, John.
The new software.
And the software no longer shows you naked.
Yeah, sure.
But they have a term for this.
Because it just shows an outline and I'm not going to spoil the term that Lucy will tell us in a moment.
And it pinpoints the dangerous areas.
That could conceal weapons of mass destruction.
So what do we call slaves in this case?
Over the holidays, there was a huge media uproar over new procedures that TSA rolled out for pat-downs and random body scanner selection and body scanning being used as a secondary procedure.
Search method.
Right.
The department has said that you're hoping that you'd have a thousand of these new technology scanners in place by the end of the calendar year.
Has the budgeting process gotten in the way of that?
Are you going to be able to meet that target?
Or are you struggling with that?
No, I think we'll be able to meet that target.
And even as we do so, we're already piloting the next wave of software, which has much more of kind of a gingerbread man type of image on it.
This is code.
Gingerbread Man.
Now, yeah, type it in.
Google it.
Gingerbread Man typically stands for a naughty boy who's running away, who's up to no good.
I mean, if you know the story of the Gingerbread Man, and you can look at Wikipedia.
Also, I believe a book of a guy who went totally psycho called The Gingerbread Man came out in 2005.
Five or six, I think, written by, who's that guy?
You know, that CIA guy who does all the big movies.
A lot of CIA guys out there.
And, you know, what's his name?
Clooney?
No, the guy who does all the CIA books.
Come on.
Clancy?
Not Clancy, the other one.
Right.
Anyway.
I keep naming names.
It's not helping.
I'm sorry.
It's called Gingerbread Man?
Yeah.
Is that the name of the book?
Yeah.
And it was a movie as well.
Well, it should be easy enough to find by typing in Gingerbread Man.
So the story of the Gingerbread Man is, I've run away from the little old woman.
I can run away from you.
I can.
I mean, it's just total subliminal code that now you're sure.
Robert Downey Jr.?
No.
Robert Altman?
No, he directed the movie.
Right, who wrote that?
Kenneth Branagh was in it.
Who wrote that?
Who wrote it?
Let's take a look.
Let me go to IDB, IMDB, whatever it is.
Yeah, you go do that.
Writers.
Oh, Grisham?
Grisham, there you go.
Do you think Grisham's CIA? Totally.
Okay.
But it's about a guy who went crazy.
So now, it's subliminal.
I've never seen this movie.
It only got a 5.7 out of 10.
Well, maybe it wasn't all that good.
It came out in 98, by the way.
But the story of the gingerbread man is totally positioning you as the slave, the protagonist in the fairy tale.
Yeah.
The cookie's escape from the pursuers and his eventual demise...
Yeah, no, it's insulting.
This woman should be drummed out of office and the Homeland Security Department should be shut down and the Coast Guard should go back into the military where it belongs.
It's, uh...
It's really unconscionable.
So then, of course, you get all the front page stories.
It's like, oh, Lucy says threat is highest ever.
This is horrible.
What are we doing?
And emergency vote!
Emergency vote!
So it's so transparent.
It's so obvious how this works.
And I'm so happy that now it happened literally in the span of three days so we can show the audience that This is exactly how it works.
Oh, wait a minute.
What?
They changed the rules and voted?
What?
We need to have these rules back in.
We can't have this thing expire.
Quick, emergency meeting.
Lucy, get out there.
Tell everyone how dangerous it is.
And, of course, now we're all preparing for the first national...
How many attacks have there been on the homeland that actually were successful or otherwise that have been on the homeland over the last ten years?
Well, Lucy...
This is like World War II where millions of people are dying and there's...
All kinds of issues going on and espionage and train tracks being blown up.
What train tracks have been blown up?
What refineries have been bombed?
What terrible things have happened?
Well, what's interesting is in the C-SPAN piece, and I encourage everyone to watch it, the only examples that Lucy comes up with are the Times Square bomber guy who had stuff that wouldn't burn.
The guy's all these duds.
Yeah, the kid who was enticed into dialing a number and arrested for thinking he was going to blow something up.
Right, the idiot.
Yeah, in Seattle.
Yeah, the guy that was trained by the FBI. Right, right.
You know, of course, where they made a mistake, of course, they lost a little bit of the tape, so they lost some of that.
Right.
Oh, we're sorry about that.
In actual police work where you police things, you would find a guy like that and you would take him aside and say, hey, we know what you're up to, stop it.
Yeah, really.
That would be the end of it.
Hey, kid, stop doing that.
Stop doing that.
But no, instead, in today's world, you take the guy aside and you say, what are you interested in doing?
Oh, well, let's help you.
Let me help you to the point where you make the phone call so we can arrest you.
What kind of police work is this?
This isn't just stopping crime.
But it's not police work.
What it is is examples that are used to further the agenda, which is taking place before our very eyes.
It doesn't say anything about it.
Nobody votes these idiots out of office.
No, I'm sorry.
Something was done about it, John.
Something was done about it, and here's how it goes.
Hello, uh, Lindsay?
Here's Barack.
Hey, Lindsay.
It's time for the Slut Squad distraction team.
Can you, um, steal something?
So we can cover up the news?
That's how it goes.
That's exactly what's going on here.
Everyone's like, ugh.
Just the Christina Aguilera thing didn't have any legs.
Well, she's also a member of the...
Yeah, I did.
The Slut Squad.
Because people don't...
No one noticed it.
This is the problem.
People did not notice that she flubbed the national anthem.
They had to be told.
I listened to her.
We'll talk about that after the...
Let's take a break for the...
Oh my goodness.
But I do have to talk a little bit about the Super Bowl.
Can I just finish this up with one interesting little factoid before we get to some things?
So I traveled up north to Gitmo Nation, San Francisco.
And I was like, oh gosh, because you know me, I'm going to have to opt out and everything.
So they still do not have naked body scanners, gingerbread man scanners at Burbank Airport.
But here's what happened.
So I go through the magnometer, and it went off.
It felt to me like it went off a little later.
Maybe that's just my perception, but I was like, oh, that's interesting.
I was already through it, and then it went off.
And then immediately the guy says, step in here.
And then he opens up the door to the slave aquarium.
You know, that's like a little glass box you stand there.
Like, yeah, and everyone's looking at you in the glass box.
And I'm like, okay, so they're going to search me.
This will be interesting.
This will be my first full-body pat-down.
And so remember now, so I apparently have some metal on me that made the magnometer go off.
And then a TSA officer, female officer, opens the aquarium on the other side and says, are these your shoes?
Holding up my boots.
I'm like, yeah.
Oh, we've got to scan them for explosives.
Okay.
Why are they telling you this, by the way?
What is the point of that?
Why don't they just grab the shoes and put them back in the scanner?
I think that was her way of asking my permission.
What do you need permission for?
All I'm saying is...
It's your shoes.
Who cares?
I mean, why do they do this constantly?
We're going to put your suitcase back through the scanner.
So do it.
But you missed the point.
The point is, I apparently had some metal on me...
But they didn't search me.
They swabbed my shoes.
What?
That's what I'm saying.
Were you wearing the shoes at the time?
No!
No!
The metal detector goes off.
They send me into the aquarium.
I'm waiting for my pat-down.
They say, are these your shoes?
Yeah.
We're going to swab them.
They swab them, and I just walk right out.
What?
With my 9mm.
Unbelievable.
I'm like, what?
What?
It was the most curious thing.
And so I'm actually thinking that...
Because, again, it felt like the magnometer went off late.
So maybe it's just like someone's pressing a button or something.
I don't know.
Somebody's back there.
That guy.
That guy.
Let's get that guy.
Maybe they thought I was a hot chick with my hair and everything.
Oh, shit.
Man, who hit the button?
Swab his shoes.
It's a guy.
Swab his shoes and let him go.
You know how that happens where someone will come up to me from behind, ma'am, ma'am, and I'll turn around, yes?
Right.
And so maybe someone, you know, someone, TSA agent was like, hey, hey, look at that hot chick.
Oh, crap.
It's a dude.
No.
Swab his shoes then.
I don't know.
It was weird.
It sounds like it.
And then on the way back from Oakland Airport...
They had naked body scanners.
None of them in use.
Yeah, last time I went through Oakland, they weren't using them either.
So I don't understand.
If we're at the, in some ways, as Lucy says, a heightened threat, then how come we're not undressing people?
Where's the path?
I think the TSA has either been told, or just like, forget about it.
Just lay off.
Don't worry about it.
First of all, we know it's a joke anyway.
It's one big money-grabbing scam, and no one's noticing.
And once in a while, they might throw a slave through the body scanner and whatever.
Which, by the way, the TSA still has not released the results of their tests to show that they are safe.
Yeah, we're going to do it in a couple weeks, they say.
I've got the link in the show notes.
It's all safe.
We're going to release these test results in a couple weeks.
Don't worry about it.
After we do another false flag attack or something so we can make everyone afraid.
It's just crazy.
I think the public's getting sick of it.
Yeah, so they've got to keep this way.
Of course, there's the public, which would be our listeners and travelers, and then there's the other public, the boneheads, the man on the street who they ask, and they say, oh, I think it would better be safe than sorry.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Safe than sorry.
Better to be safe than sorry.
I don't know what else you're going to do.
Better to be safe than sorry.
This concludes our Minute of...
I want to thank a few of the executive producers.
Yes.
We have two executives and two associate executives this week.
And coincidentally, since nobody contributed more than 277, the 277 club members are actually executive producers.
Oh, this is new.
Hold on a second.
Well, that's happened before.
Okay.
We have two executive producers who are also now members of the closed 277 Club.
Sir Lawrence Royke.
Sir Larry.
Sir Larry.
Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
John and Adam, enjoying the show as usual, though my wife thinks I'm nuts.
She wrote a column once said, my wife thinks I'm nuts was the title.
Trying to get her to see the Magic 33s.
Could you use some karma, please?
Yeah.
Is that karma for him or karma for the marriage?
I'm not quite sure.
You've got karma.
Well, he's on his way.
Let's finish this.
He's on his way to third nighthood.
He's trying to perpetuate the pharma at lifewithnoagenda.com.
He sent me a beautiful email.
He's been through some...
This is something I'm noticing.
A lot of our producers, the economy, it really is bad.
People wind up taking jobs that are 50 to 100 miles away from where they live.
And this is also, I think, part of the reason why we have more listeners than ever is because people are commuting and they need to...
I think it was kind of Sir Larry's email to me.
It's like, you know...
By listening to your show while driving 100 miles to this god-awful job, which pays me less than I ever made in my life, at least you guys make me feel like I'm not crazy, thinking this is all crap.
So it's kind of good.
Well, I don't know how good is it.
The bad side is that when things improve, he won't be listening anymore.
I don't know, man.
This show is for these guys like Lawrence because it's like...
You're in your car, you're locked in your crappy car driving away.
Even if you have a nice car, it's still a long time to sit in the car.
It's still prison.
It's still prison.
Totally.
So, and our other 277 Club member is Mike DeBrock, also executive producer of Spring Grove, Illinois.
It's his birthday, February 10th.
Do we have him on the list?
I believe so.
You surprised me with this.
Let me just double check.
We'll do him later, obviously.
No, we don't.
That's great.
Good work, Eric.
Thank you.
Good work.
It's my birthday, February 10th, and I decided to pay it forward.
By the way, give ourselves some uber karma and go slaves.
Go slaves!
Yay!
You've got karma.
Go slaves.
Go slaves.
It's a hoodie.
It's a hoodie.
Wouldn't that be a...
Yeah, go slaves.
That is a hoodie.
We should work on that.
Yeah, I think it's funny because you can imagine having a football team somewhere, the slaves.
That would be so politically incorrect.
Oh, you can't do that, man.
Dan Henderson, Louisville, Kentucky, 2222.
Associate Executive Producer.
Hey, John and Adam, looking forward to a new gig.
Need some karma.
Can you call out Justin Thomas as a douchebag?
Douchebag!
Problem.
Yep, got that.
And Henderson needs some karma.
Hold on, here it comes.
Hold on.
Stand by.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
Yep.
And he says it's good to be a 1%er.
He's a new donor, by the way.
Kyle Miller Bon Accord.
Bon Accord.
But he's actually, since he's in Alberta, Canada, I'm sure it's pronounced Bon Accord.
Right.
Hi, John and Adam.
I have had the misfortune, it's $200, by the way, of working in Fort McMurray, Alberta, for the last several months and have unlistened to episodes of No Agenda dating back to June.
On the other hand, I've made a lot of cash.
A bird is where all the money is, by the way.
Oh, really?
And now that I'm catching up, I thought I'd share some with you.
Also, I'm trying to work on my own knighthood layaway, so hopefully more donations will be forthcoming.
We hope so.
That's so awesome.
We really appreciate that.
I've got a couple of PR mentions that I'd like to lay down on you.
We have a new domain being forwarded, courtesy of Stu Coates, who is an $11.11 subscriber.
He says, great show.
I had this domain hang around.
It's fuckthe.eu.
Which, I don't know how they let that pass by.
They loosened up some years ago.
So, f-u-c-k-t-h-e dot e-u is now pointing to noagendashow.com.
The...
Steve has put together the noagendacarboncalculator.tk This is really good.
You can calculate your carbon credits when you sleep.
You fill in the number of hours you work.
He has a very interesting little matrix there.
It's a beautiful page.
When you hit the go button after you've filled out how long you're going to nap, And then it pops up with a whole bunch of cool stuff, tells you how much your carbon credits are worth.
Mine, by the way, if I napped for an hour a day, would be $78, which is not bad.
Yes, like $78.90.
And then it has little things that are like...
For an hour of napping?
A day, yeah.
So that would probably be my total in a year carbon.
Oh, that's a year.
You have $78 a year's worth of carbon?
Yeah.
It's a credit.
Well, if we have thousands and thousands of people napping for humanity, this is tradable on the Chicago Exchange.
Exactly.
So it even says right here, it says, planting a tree is hard.
Why not just take a nap?
Which I think is very good.
Most excellent.
So that falls under the...
I'd like to remind everyone that Rhino the Bearded, who does No Agenda Shots, which is a core part of the NoAgendaStream.com, every hour we have a No Agenda Shot.
It really propagates the formula.
He has a project.
In order to continue doing the No Agenda Shots, he needs you to help him out and pay for his books for school, because otherwise he'd have to take a job and wouldn't have the time to do the No Agenda Shots.
He's basically gone half part-time.
So please consider helping his Kickstarter project.
Only has about a month left, and he's not at the goal yet.
I've even kicked in some money, so I'd appreciate everyone helping him out because it's very core for the knowledgeindustry.com project.
Then we have a brand new iPhone app.
Part of the No Agenda stream initiative.
This is really nice.
Link in the show notes.
No Agenda Radio.
Joshua Fraser, who I think also donated to plug this.
We'll talk about that later in the donation part of the show.
A really nice app for the stream, which also flies all of our cover art one by one, rotating as you're listening to the stream and some really cool stuff there.
And it has iAds, so if you tap on the ads, you're helping the show out indirectly.
Another domain being forwarded by BadAce in the chatroom, 2tothehead.com.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
I'm sure we'll get some great SEO on that.
Ooh, 2tothehead.com is a great domain.
Yeah, who knew that that was going to be available, right?
Yeah.
And SiliconSpin, the happy and distractive slave, says I've also redirected opensourceradio.info to the stream, so we appreciate all of that.
So Good job by everybody.
That is fantastic.
Special thanks to our executive producers and the only two members of the 277 Club.
The door is closed on that.
You can only get in on the 278 Club.
So forever, Sir Larry Roik and Mike DeBrock will be the only two members and of course also executive producers of episode 277 of No Agenda.
And Dan Henderson and Kyle Miller, associate executive producers.
Real credits, guys.
You can put them on your IMDB, on your business cards, in your email signature.
And unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we'll actually vouch for you if you need that.
Everyone else out there needs to go out and do one very simple thing.
Continue to help propagating the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Whoa!
Order!
All right, everybody, say it loud and cry now!
Shut up, slave!
And...
Just take your medicine!
Just take your meds.
Take your meds.
Remember, take your meds.
So, we had a nice little...
We had a dinner in San Francisco.
Yeah, you came up.
And we went out to dinner at...
There's these three restaurants, Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco called Fresca.
And we went to, I think, the original one, which is up on...
Fillmore near D&M Liquors.
That was kind of the neighborhood.
I think I got out of the car and said, where are we?
It's actually a really nice neighborhood.
And we had...
I didn't think it was...
People were crazy about this food, but it was good.
I thought it was a decent meal.
Probably $10 more than we should have spent.
Yeah.
We spent $100.
It should have been $80 probably.
But of course, we didn't drink.
We didn't drink like we normally do.
No, we had some cheap Vino Verde, and we shouldn't have amounted to much at all.
And that was that.
I like the food, though.
It was tasty.
It was tasty food.
We had the pulled chicken.
Actually, I thought the appetizers were better than the entrees.
What did we have?
We had the scallops.
There was a scallop.
Yeah, the scallop thing was nice.
There was something else.
What was the other thing?
Another seafood thingy, which I liked a lot.
It was what?
Another seafood thing, wasn't it?
Was it?
I don't think so.
Well, it was very memorable.
It wasn't memorable, apparently.
But I felt, and correct me if I'm wrong, I felt our conversation was kind of boring.
Well, that's because you wouldn't talk about it.
That's exactly right.
Here's our conversation.
So then what did he say?
I've got to save it for this show.
Tell me now.
You can remember.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm saving for this show.
Okay, but what else happened?
I have to save it for this show.
Well, the thing is...
So then I wrote these things down in this little book and lost the book.
I told you you would lose it.
I knew it.
I knew you would.
I knew it.
I remember.
I remember what we were going to talk about.
There were two things.
What were they?
Well, the main thing was Al Jazeera.
We wanted to talk about Al Jazeera.
The thing is, I got a little different perspective on what's happening in the big sandbox in Egypt because the guy who has been driving for me for the past two years when we were in San Francisco and whenever I go to visit is Tony the Terrorist.
And Tony's Palestinian, but he's a translator for medical companies, but he also says, like, oh, look, look, Adam, another chemtrail.
So this is my kind of guy, right?
And I say, Tony, what's going on there?
What's happening in Egypt?
He says, ah, Adam, this is such bull crap.
I'm like, oh, really?
He actually says, you know, that Tunisia, he said, was absolutely real.
Real revolution.
He says people were so fed up there.
And it wasn't the guy running the show.
It was his wife was running everything.
That guy apparently was just too obsessed with the hookers and blow.
She was the one stealing all the money.
And we're talking like $40 billion.
He says, you have no idea how much money these rulers in the Middle East are socking away.
Well, I mean, look at how much...
What's his name?
We've got billions and billions.
The terrorist, the Daya Arafat.
Exactly.
I mean, this guy walked away with billions.
He wasn't even a ruler.
He was just an out-and-out scammer.
So just to give you some credits on Tony, he has a picture of him as a younger man.
Probably now he's like 35 or something.
Tony was like 20 or something, sitting on Arafat's lap.
Just to kind of give you the idea that he has some credibility with me.
Like, okay, you're a real Palestinian.
I'll take that.
And he says, Egypt.
He says, you know, what happened was...
Remember, you've got to pronounce it properly if you want to sound credible.
He tried to change the constitution to allow his son to succeed him.
And his own party are the ones that got all riled up and pissed off at him.
It was a very small bit of the news where his entire cabinet left.
That's what actually was the whole big problem, is he, who by the way, has $70 billion in the bank in the United Kingdom.
He was trying to pull a fast one, and his own party...
Because it is a democracy there.
Yeah, of course it's a sham, but they do pretend to vote, like we do.
And so this is what started all of the rumblings and the noise.
But what really happened...
John, you and I know crap all about the Middle East.
We have no idea.
No one on CNN or Fox News or the BBC, no one knows.
If you're not an Arab and living there...
You have to be boots on the ground.
Yeah, you've got to really be boots on the ground.
You've got no idea how that works.
You don't know about the culture.
He says the one thing that Mbarak did...
Is he raised the price of bread.
He says this.
He says, Adam, believe me.
You can do anything you want with Egyptian slaves.
You do not raise price of bread.
And that sparked off the young people.
They were really angry.
But this is not a Twitter revolution.
Twitter is like a telephone.
It just got kind of used as it.
And then they brought in football hooligans.
Actual football hooligans into the square because they had more experience with throwing stones at the police.
So there's a lot of stuff going on here that we don't really understand.
Their arms.
Yeah, that we don't really get and don't really understand.
Now, the whole thing's a scam.
And so I said, how about Jordan then?
Is Jordan next?
Because I think this is a script.
He says, ha ha!
Please don't make me laugh.
Nothing going to happen in Jordan.
I said, why not?
Because in Jordan, if you say one thing wrong, they kill you.
I said, okay.
I said, police, they kill you immediately.
It's on lockdown.
Nothing's going to happen in Jordan because everyone's afraid.
They kill you.
They kill you.
Don't worry.
Just killed and gone.
And I said, how about Yemen?
He said, oh, this is great.
Yemen is an awesome country.
He said, it's a vacation country for us.
He said, and the Yemen people are stupid.
He said that the Belgians, no offense, Sir Pelsmockers, or the Danes, I guess you could say, no offense to our friends in Denmark, but he's just making an observation.
They're considered to be the stupidest state in the sandbox because they let everyone come in.
They go, hey, come on, yeah, hey, how are you doing?
Come on in.
I said, really?
Isn't that like crazy?
Is Al-Qaeda everywhere?
He says, this is the safest place on earth, he says.
There is no crime, no stealing, no nothing.
I said, how does that work?
He says, well, there are 12 million people in Yemen.
But the population has almost 70 million guns.
They're completely gun crazy.
Everyone's got like four pieces and they carry and everything.
So there's no crime.
Everyone's happy.
They're a complete example of how everyone having a gun is actually good.
Yeah, like Texas.
Yeah.
It's like, wow, okay.
Anyway, so we did go on to say, look, do you know how many people live in Egypt?
I already asked you this question, so you know.
But your immediate answer was like 8 million or 12 million or something like that.
And that's what most people think.
Yeah, most people think, I don't know how many people are in Egypt.
80 million.
So to have 10,000 people demonstrating, not such a big deal.
Now, I will say that there is something going on in Egypt, and the slaves are uprising, and I think it is getting a little more out of control, more like a shoe-throwing thing.
So there isn't a very organic thing happening, and it is the younger people, and it is beautiful.
But here's the big mistake everyone's making.
And this whole, it's a Facebook, Twitter revolution.
Wow, I can't believe we're falling for this.
I mean, I just can't believe anyone is falling for this.
It makes no sense at all, in my mind, to organize riots on Facebook and Twitter.
I mean, what, so the police can, like, be there waiting for you?
I mean, please, this makes no sense.
Well, let's play a couple of clips.
Good.
Let's start with the Google guys, the hero.
Yes, who, by the way, is now actually in negotiations.
He is now part of the opposition.
Here we go.
Play.
Wael Ghonim is the unlikely hero of Egypt's revolt.
Today in a CNN interview he said it's too late for genuine negotiations with Mubarak.
They decided to negotiate with us at night with rubber bullets, with police sticks, with water hoses, with tear gas tanks.
But he didn't say that he was ready to lead this movement.
Disappointing legions of young activists who at the moment are making it up as they go along online.
People like Ahmed Abbas Elridi, a stockbroker turned internet rebel who discovered on Twitter today that protesters were moving beyond Tahrir Square.
Now we will add the place in front of the His proudest moment so far, victory after pitched battles with Egypt's riot police all chronicled on Facebook.
And he's got a trophy riot police shield to prove it.
So...
I actually tried to Google a little bit about this guy.
What does he do in Egypt for Google?
I can't find it.
I can't find it either.
But let's go back to this targeting parliament thing.
So the guy says it's a safe place to go.
So the reason they moved the demonstration, or at least a group of them, because it was safe, right?
Right.
So play this clip targeting Parliament.
This is the main gate of Egypt's Parliament covered with the protesters' signs.
Inside it's being guarded by just a few soldiers.
Outside it's being guarded by hundreds of protesters.
This building is now blockaded.
The protesters had turned their lightning blockade into a tent city siege.
So this feels like a good tactical move.
For the time being, yes.
It's not what's going to make it for us, but it's buying us time.
A few minutes later, the army tried to move a firetruck in, but the protesters blocked it.
And leader or no leader, the call went out online for reinforcements who almost immediately began to arrive.
Behind me you can see Tahrir Square and the protesters in front of Parliament are just in a little side street off to my left.
I can see them from where I'm standing.
They're still there and the army is simply looking on.
Katie?
And Liz, why are they targeting Parliament and are there any members inside the building?
No, the building's empty.
The legislators had to move to other quarters.
They're targeting Parliament because they think it was elected in rigged elections and they want it dissolved.
Hold on a second.
So just a second ago, the guy said in the exact same report, the reason we're targeting Parliament is because it's a safe place to target.
So where does she make it up that, oh, it's because of rigged elections?
And why is Katie asking the question in the first place?
Because she must have heard the earlier part of the report, or was she even listening?
No, she was not listening.
She was doing her hair.
The place is empty.
There's nobody inside.
Yeah.
It was a safe place to go.
The whole thing is bogus.
And let me just say one thing, which I don't know if you picked it up, but this happened this morning.
Yeah, Mubarak is going to step down.
Is that the news now?
Mubarak is going to step down today.
Right.
And that comes right from the CIA. Now, whether it happens or not is another question, but it seems to me, I want to point this out to our listeners.
And we've talked about it.
We talk about it all the time.
But I think we have to keep talking about it.
Since when did the CIA become like a spokesperson for anything?
I mean, they're on Fox all the time, various, ex-CIA, ex-CIA, and the CIA, former CIA analysts, and now Panetta's coming out and saying, well, according to our information, he's going to step.
When I was a kid, the CIA was actually a secret organization.
Yeah, you didn't know anything about them.
You didn't know anything about what they were doing.
They weren't making announcements and sending out press releases and telling us this and that and coming out with their version of things and everyone nodding their heads religiously on Fox.
Oh, that's interesting.
Well, you should know.
When did that change?
Did it change when Ron Paul said the CIA took over the country and they didn't get...
I think it changed.
No, the change is obvious.
It changed when the Obama administration came in, started messing with their power structure, right?
Because he put this whole level in between him, the executive branch, and basically put him on equal level with the FBI and put him under Lucy.
No, they're not under Lucy, they're under that laugher guy.
Right, I'm sorry.
They're on par with Lucy.
It's even worse, actually.
Yeah, that's pretty humiliating.
And they have traditionally, throughout the ages, have run the show.
They've had their own secret budgets, they're doing everything they want to do, taking care of business, running the show.
And all of a sudden it's like, well, you know, we've got a problem here because we're not running the show.
And then they probably brought in Hill and Knowlton.
Have you seen their website?
Not recently.
No, no, you should look at it.
They've completely redone their website.
Take a look.
CIA.gov.
Oh, yeah.
They've got a Flickr stream.
They've got YouTube clips.
Oh, yeah.
And they've got all kinds of things for kids about how cool it is to join the CIA. Yeah, this is new.
It's brand new.
Hold on a second.
I got it here.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not kidding.
CIA's revamped website has Flickr stream, new kids games, YouTube puppy cam videos.
Kids page.
Yeah, they've got a puppy cam, which runs around the CIA offices there in Langley and shows you all the cool stuff.
And then they have a history exhibit.
A history exhibit that shows all the cool spy stuff they've had.
Look at this makeup compact.
Yeah, we hit a transmitter in there.
People, please, they're putting chips in people's heads.
This is nothing.
This is like a joke.
Here, the CIA canine cam, the headquarters tour.
It's unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
Here, the kids page.
Have you seen the kids page?
CIA.gov slash kids dash page.
Welcome!
We're glad you're here to learn more about the Central Intelligence Agency.
And they've got little spies behind a vault with glasses on and stuff.
This is crazy.
Hold on a second.
I like the vault.
Isn't that awesome?
Yeah.
Spy is coming in and out.
It's like a Mad Magazine cartoon.
No, it's spy versus spy.
It's totally spy versus spy.
The CIA is an independent U.S. government agency.
Notice how they're positioning themselves.
Yeah.
Product place.
It's actually marketing.
Branding.
I'm telling you, they brought in Hill and Knowlton or someone came in to do something for them to take care of business.
Let's see.
Games.
What kind of games do we have here at the CIA website?
Puzzles.
World.
Concentration camp.
Coloring book.
Break the code.
Aerial analysis challenge.
Photo.
By the way, any of you kids listening to the show, do really well on this and they'll be knocking at your door.
Hey kid, looking for work?
Yeah.
Photo analysis challenge.
Oh, yeah.
This is very important.
Part of spookness is identifying networks, neural network.
You know, when you look at something and say, ah, I see...
Pattern recognition.
Pattern recognition.
Thank you.
So, yeah, I think they traditionally run the show.
This looks fun.
Yay!
See, the plane is missing.
Remember the thing in the newspapers?
What's the difference between picture A and picture B? It's like, where in the world is Waldo?
A little bit of that, a little bit of Waldo.
Yeah, find the ten differences in these two pictures.
I'm telling you, they need to recruit human resources because they've always run the show.
I'm convinced of it.
No, actually, I think, considering my background, I know it.
This is how they think.
Hey, we run this show.
Who does this guy think he is?
Stop now.
Clandestine services.
When you put this on here, it's ridiculous.
How clandestine are you when you have a page?
CIA.gov offices of CIA clandestine services index.htm.
Who are we?
Who we are.
Internship program.
Hey, let's get an internship.
Internship in clandestine services.
It's hilarious.
This is brand new.
The National Clandestine Service, NCS, undergraduate internship program is designed to give a limited number of talented undergraduate students the opportunity to support the NCS mission.
Nice.
90-day summer internship.
John, you're getting a little too interested in that.
I'm thinking of taking a 90-day summer internship in Somalia.
Trip overseas included.
Anyway, it's kind of nice to see that The Economist is listening to our show as they have done in the publication.
The Economist, we...
I've discussed that those guys are actually reasonable, although I think they're pretty compromised at this point.
Two years ago, they might have been reasonable.
So they've done one of their indexes, an index of unrest in the Arab world.
In this week's print edition, we ran a table showing a number of indicators for members of the Arab League.
So this is basically what countries are hosed.
And it's called the Shoe Thrower's Index.
Very nice, guys.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
That's exactly the way we'd like to see the formula propagated.
And there actually was a man who threw a shoe at Musharraf.
So this is good.
It's starting.
It's slow.
It's slow.
But I think with the current Patriot Act, if you're in the Washington, D.C. area, and you see some of these shills coming in and out of that vote, and undeniably, this emergency vote is going to take place and it's going to pass the Patriot Act extension.
Throw your shoe at these bastards!
You can also try calling your representative and say, please don't vote for this, but I think you should throw your shoe.
Now the revolution in Egypt has a color, John.
It's now red.
It's about time.
It's about time we got a color.
And just when you thought it couldn't get any funnier, Wyclef Jean shows up.
And he's on board.
Yo, what's up all my Facebook heads?
It's your boy, I could have shown it in a minute.
Somehow I screwed up the recording.
Damn.
That's unlistenable.
Sorry about that.
Something went double.
Anyway, he's throwing down a video for his Facebook heads and peeps in Egypt.
Peeps?
Yeah, his Facebook heads, as he calls them, in Egypt.
That's right.
My Facebook heads in Egypt.
Here, maybe I can get it off of his Facebook page.
I'm going to listen to this for a second.
Wyclef Jean.
Wyclef Jean.
Come on, Wyclef Jean.
Save the day.
Yo, what's up all my Facebook heads?
It's your boy Wyclef Jean.
I know it's been a minute.
I'm up in the studio getting everything cracking right now.
Yeah.
But I had to take time out.
One time.
To definitely salute the people of Egypt.
You can't even point to Egypt on the map.
Idiot.
I'm sure he can't.
Right about now, I want everybody to look out.
I did an acoustic song for the people of Egypt.
That's right.
It's going to be on my new albums.
Like, we ain't the only one that's struggling.
You know, all those young little youth that's over there in Egypt fighting a good fight, you know?
The guy's sitting there in his multi-million dollar recording studio with his Adidas track suit on.
He just got off of his jets.
Yeah, I was like, I'm sorry.
We ain't the only ones with a hard time here, man.
I'm going to do a song for you little slaves, you little young youths.
The youths there in Egypt.
We want y'all to know that over here we with y'all.
With y'all.
So, we want all your Facebook heads to know that Friday morning, 7 o'clock in the morning.
Friday morning, 7 o'clock in the morning.
That's really early for me, y'all, because normally I'm hanging out with my hoes.
7 o'clock in the morning is early.
Drop that acoustic joint.
I'm going to drop that acoustic joint.
Do you think the kids in Egypt are like, drop what?
Acoustic joint?
He's dropping a joint?
For all of my people in Egypt, 7 o'clock Eastern Time.
Say it again, bro.
That'd be my time over here in New York.
And then after that, if you missed it on Facebook, it's going to be all over the internet anyway.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Once again, I want the people in Egypt to know you're not fighting alone.
We with you.
All right, all right.
Get this guy off.
Give him the hook.
The hook it is.
What an idiot.
Well, you know, we already know he's a part of the CIA compromise system because they tried to put him in Haiti.
So what do you say?
I think concert.
Concert for Egypt.
What do you think?
You know, it's a little soon, but I think you might as well.
Might as well get rolling.
Get it going.
A concert for Egypt.
I don't know what's going to happen after Bart quits this afternoon, but we'll find out, I'm sure, by the next show.
So here's the topic we actually wanted to discuss, which is Al Jazeera.
And this is rather troubling to me, because what happened is there's this meme propagating that if you want the real news, the real story, it's on Al Jazeera, they're online, they're streaming, they're blacked out, they can't see them on the cable in America, it's Al Jazeera.
Who do you think is funding Al Jazeera, please?
Tony the Terrorist had like a half-hour diatribe on that.
What did he say?
British intelligence!
Yeah, no, we know that.
Well, no, people believe it's actually like some magical, well-funded organization that is telling the truth.
Come on, every mainstream media outlet that has this kind of production value and power and boots on the ground, he's compromised.
You have to be.
Yeah, people think that this is the real deal.
You actually can't do this kind of work anymore unless you're compromised.
Except for our work.
Well, yeah, but we're just doing analysis.
Yeah.
We're not doing any work.
We're not boots on the ground work.
It is work, but it's not boots on the ground work where you're roaming around asking people on the street what they think.
Yeah, you might get hit in the head, you know.
You would get hit in the head nowadays.
Dangerous.
Dangerous.
But you can get the same material.
I mean, this was proven by a number of journalists in the past.
I mean, Seldis and I.F. Stone, all they did was go through government documents and the congressional record, and you can get most of the information you need.
It's just this stuff never gets exploited by the mainstream media, and all we're essentially doing is picking up on...
The stories are there.
It's just a matter of finding them and then reconnecting the dots in the right way, which is all we do.
There's an excellent book that I'm reading which is an old book and you've probably read it, John.
Amusing Ourselves to Death?
It's an old book, yeah.
It is an old book.
In fact, the Pink Floyd song was inspired by it.
The guy who wrote it is dead.
His son does a nice little foreword there.
I think the book was written just before the internet started to come into reality.
But it's about the difference between the written word, the spoken word, and then television.
And it's very interesting.
And I'd like to put it on the No Agenda book, books.com list.
Everyone should have a read, because it really goes way back into Socrates and Plato, who I know nothing about, of course.
But it is very eloquently explaining how television lies all the time.
And the junk on television is good, because it's okay to have junk, but when television actually takes itself seriously and is trying to bring a serious, truthful piece, it's inherently the medium is false.
It just is, and you and I both know that.
Yeah, we worked in it.
Before we leave this topic completely, the Egypt one, you know that clip we played of the guy who saw the Twitter and was going to move to Parliament, right?
Yeah.
I took a little sub-clip from that clip.
Where they're asking him, what's he going to do next?
And they said, we're going to move the demonstration to Parliament where it's safe.
Play this ETF, which should say WTF. What's the ding?
There's a little ding.
This is on a CBS report.
There's a little ding.
In the background?
Yeah, and the timing is weird.
Just play this.
It's in front of the Parliament.
Let me listen again.
Hold on a sec.
Here we go.
Hey, play.
Hey.
That's weird.
It doesn't rewind.
Hold on.
He's like, he's looking for a word, because they say, where are you going to go next?
He says, we're going to go to, and then he's like blank, he's got a blank face, and then a bell rings, and Parliament comes to his head.
That's very strange.
Let's do it again.
It's in front of the Parliament.
It was...
Really?
Like in front of...
And then he got...
Ding!
Someone whacked him in the head.
Parliament?
In front of the...
Parliament?
I can't remember.
Ding!
Oh, Parliament?
Yeah.
It's to help him remember what they told him to do.
This was in this clip.
And I heard it the first time and I clipped it out and I said...
What is it?
Where does this ding come from?
Are you sure it's not his ringtone?
Ding.
It's like, I can't remember.
I can't remember.
I'm spacing out.
In front of the...
What the fucker!
Parliament?
Parliament?
Could be.
I don't know.
I just...
It's an anomaly.
It's interesting.
An anomaly.
We find them.
It's interesting.
It could be something.
So, uh...
But anyway, I do want to say for, um...
The human resources around Gitmo Nation...
Well, wait, wait.
Before you do that, we didn't quite finish the Al Jazeera thing, I don't think.
The thing is, if anybody hasn't noticed, this is coming up.
In fact, I ran into a webpage the other day.
How to get Al Jazeera on your Roku box.
Right.
And it shows you the convoluted way that you can somehow get Al Jazeera streamed to your Roku.
And it's like everything, you're right, the meme is there.
It's like, it's really interesting.
And it's just bogus.
Well, no, and it's been propagated specifically so people think that that's the truth.
And that is British intelligence.
Interesting, Tony the terrorist said, you know, you notice that Britain is not, that Cameron's not coming out and saying anything?
Everyone's really, really quiet over in England.
I was like, yeah.
He says, you know why?
I said, why?
Because all the money is there!
These guys got billions, tens of billions of dollars.
Mubarak, $70 billion in Britain alone.
And the United Arab Emirates foreign minister visited Mubarak the other day, unreported, of course, or underreported.
Yeah, no problem.
The guy goes in, goes out.
He basically went over there and said, hey, don't worry, man.
Your money, because he's got money there, too.
Your money's safe with us.
We're all good.
No problem.
Yeah, I mean, we know nothing, but there's two things that are happening with this.
One, the propagation that we think that, oh, Facebook and Twitter, these are the revolutionary tools, bullcrap.
The internet!
I believe that.
Facebook and Twitter, you know what?
This is what anonymous should be targeting.
They should be bringing down Facebook and Twitter.
These things are bad.
I was watching a news report the other day.
Every single sheriff and every single local police officer, office or station, they've all got Facebook.
Why?
Because, look, if you want to find Adam Curry...
You just go into Facebook.
You say, Adam Curry.
I've been tagged in photos.
So now they know what I look like.
And I'm sure if Facebook doesn't offer facial recognition already, I think they've announced that, right?
Where Facebook will find all your friends in pictures and auto-tag them.
How convenient!
Yeah, so it's in there.
And all you have to do is look and say, okay, who's he friends with?
Oh, Christina, that's his daughter.
Where is she?
It's so simple.
The police love this stuff.
Because we're such stupid slaves, we're actually giving them all the information.
We're volunteering all the information they need.
Oh, hashtag Jan 25.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's get ready for January 25.
It's like, how stupid is this?
If you're organizing something, it's text messaging, it's phone calls, it's smoke signals, whatever it is.
It's not Facebook and Twitter, but we're being fooled into thinking that this is the tool.
And like somehow, oh, those old guys in the government, they don't check out Facebook.
They'll never know we're doing this.
Please!
Despite the fact that, by the way, the largest growing group of Facebook users are over 70.
Yeah, it's old people.
If anything should be hacked, it shouldn't be PayPal and MasterCard and Visa.
It should be Facebook and Twitter.
That stuff's evil.
That is the true evil.
And Google must be freaking out if this guy really works for Google.
They're like, no crap, he's promoting Facebook.
This is no good.
You should be reprimanded for that.
Yeah, there's no Google execs coming out saying, our man's on the ground, boots on the ground, he's great.
Google's like being real quiet about it.
He may not even work for Google.
I can't find it.
Anyway.
But the human resources are indeed very angry.
And that's mainly because of the price of bread.
Because they can't eat.
They like their bread.
They like their bread.
They like the bread.
And if you do that here, if we raise the price of the Big Mac, we'll revolt too.
Well, maybe.
Yeah.
So, let's take our break.
Really?
Well, look at the time.
Well...
What do you got?
You got something still related?
Nah, I got some other good stuff, though.
Oh, yeah.
No, I do have...
Well, I also have a David Cameron clip.
It's funny because...
What did I just drag in?
I dragged in my David Cameron clip.
Do you have the one from the Munich conference?
Yeah.
Wow.
I have the same clip.
Well, let me see.
I edited mine down a little bit.
Yeah, so we'll listen to yours.
Yeah, you've got 46 seconds.
Perfect.
This is David Cameron who is following...
Can I just set it up and you tell me if I'm setting it up right?
Well, just set it up and we'll see.
He's following the same script that Lucy Napolitano is following.
Except he's doing it for all of Europe.
No, this is different.
This is his attack on multiculturalism.
Right, well it leads into that.
Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we've encouraged different cultures to live separate lives apart from each other and apart from the mainstream.
We've failed to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong.
We've even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values.
When a white person holds objectionable views, racist views for instance, we rightly condemn them.
But when equally unacceptable views or practices come from someone who isn't white, we've been too cautious, frankly, even fearful, to stand up to them.
Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and a much more active muscular liberalism.
Nice.
Muscular liberalism, I tell you.
Whatever that is, I'm not quite sure.
You have something more aggressive?
Well, I had him basically saying the same thing that Lucy is saying, that we now have homegrown terror in Europe, and this is the second point about how the media is portraying what's happening in the Middle East.
People are getting radicalized.
You know, we've got the Muslim Brotherhood.
Everyone's going crazy.
We're going to have more terrorists there.
We need to stock up, get ready.
We've got to, like, you know, scan the slaves.
We've got to check everybody because it could be a terrorist.
And third, we want to make sure that Britain is protected from the new and various threats that we face.
New threats, John.
New.
That is why we're investing in a national cyber security program.
Hey!
National security!
Deep packet scanning slaves!
That I know William Hay talked about yesterday.
And we are sharpening our readiness to act.
We're sharpening.
Oh, I love the language he uses.
We're sharpening.
He's good, that guy.
He's phenomenally good.
But the biggest threat that we face comes from terrorist attacks, some of which are sadly carried out by our own citizens.
The slaves are doing it themselves!
It is important to stress that terrorism is not linked exclusively to any one religion or ethnic group.
We'll get to that later.
My country, the United Kingdom, still faces threats from dissident Republicans in Northern Ireland.
Anarchist attacks have occurred recently in Greece.
Listen to this.
He's talking for all of Europe now, not just for the UK. Anarchist attacks.
You mean people who were like, had no jobs and were upset that the elites and the government had stolen all their money and were giving it to Goldman Sachs?
You mean that's anarchy, therefore terrorists?
In Italy.
And of course yourselves in Germany were long scarred by terrorism from the Red Army faction.
Wow, he's really pulling out all the stops here.
Rota Armee Fraction.
Nevertheless, we should acknowledge that this threat comes in Europe overwhelmingly from young men who follow a completely perverse, warped interpretation of Islam and who are prepared to blow themselves up and kill their fellow citizens.
Yay!
Instead, it's very clear there should be napping for humanity.
Nap for humanity.
That would be the true tool against terror, is a nap for humanity.
Last week at Davos, I rang the alarm bell.
I rang the bell, which we heard in Parliament Square.
The urgent need for Europe to recover its economic dynamism.
He's ringing the bell.
And today, though the subject is complex, my message on security is equally stark.
We will not defeat terrorism simply by the action we take outside our borders.
Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries.
Of course that means strengthening, as Angler has said, the security aspects of our response, on tracing plots, on stopping them, on counter-surveillance and intelligence gathering.
It's a total lockdown of Europe, is what he's announcing here.
Total lockdown.
30 more seconds.
...part of the answer.
We have got to get to the root of the problem.
And we need to be absolutely clear on where the origins of these terrorist attacks lie.
And then he goes into the whole thing.
So this is basically...
I think this is going on here, too.
This is basically a shutdown of free speech so they can steal the money.
Yeah.
This is basically a shutdown of free speech so the elites or whatever you want to call them, the people who are stealing the money can steal more money.
There's been discussions about this, about the missing money from the banking system and all the other.
Where's this money going?
Where's that money?
I mean, look at the billions that were lost in Iraq.
There's like three billion missing or something to put it out.
There was $2.3 billion already missing on September 10, 2001.
Yeah, the money is being stolen from the public.
We've got potholes out here on Highway 80.
And look, they're taxing us to death with ridiculous taxes.
They're just stealing the money.
And what are they doing with it?
They're stealing it.
What's interesting is your friend and mine, George Monbiot...
Well, very interesting.
He wrote an article on his own website, so not for The Guardian, called A Corporate Coup d'Etat.
And it is a no-agenda piece, John, from beginning to end.
It is really, really good.
And we don't like this guy.
No.
We do not like this guy.
Stooge for the left.
But he essentially comes right out and says, they're stealing the money.
They are stealing our money.
And finally, the slaves in Gitmo Nation East have figured out that the city of London actually is its own sovereign entity.
See, people don't really realize this.
It's called the City of London.
It has gates like a moat.
It has its own mayor.
It has its own tax code.
Right, it's in London.
It's a sovereign nation.
But it's a little bitty part of London.
Yeah.
And it's called the City.
And they wear different Bobby uniforms.
They have their own police force.
And that's where all the money is.
It's where everything's going on.
And he wrote a very, very good piece, I would say.
And he basically says, hey, you know, they're just stealing from us.
Well, duh.
You've been part of propagating that meme, by the way, George.
Good job.
Alright, now let's thank some people who enable us to not work...
A regular job so we can do all this research and work and collection.
And lighten the public.
Yeah.
And how you feeling?
How you feeling?
How you feeling?
You know you're being robbed.
Feel good now?
Again, this show is not intended to bum you out.
It's only intended to help you understand what you are not being told or what you are being told.
And I think we do a reasonable job.
People seem to appreciate it.
At least you can have a sense of humor about it.
Oh, look at this.
They stole my money.
Look at this $100 parking fine I just got in San Francisco.
Hilarious.
Oh, I lost my ticket on the Metro.
That's $189.
What?
For a $2 ticket.
Yeah, it's real theft.
Oh, this is...
Oh, here's my last penny.
That's the last one I have.
Joshua Frazier, he sent you a note from Salina, Kansas.
He gave us $111.11.
Yeah, hold on a second.
Let me open up my donations here.
Joshua, this is the guy who did...
The No Agenda Radio app.
Please give me a de-douching now that I have donated after listening for over two years.
Oops!
Sorry, I didn't mean that.
You did that again!
No, I'll give him a de-douche and I'll give him a double shot now to make up for it.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
So that is, this donation goes towards a damehood for my wife, Amanda.
I can't seem to get her to listen to the show, but I bug her constantly with the excellent knowledge I get from No Agenda.
And I think he makes a fundamental mistake here.
He says, this will also be part of her Valentine's gift.
I'm sure she will be thrilled.
I doubt it.
Dude.
You did what?
Dude, I don't know if that's a good idea.
I think dinner would have been more appropriate.
Much better idea.
But we appreciate it.
You sent them what?
Yeah.
What?
$111?
Happy Valentine's Day, Amanda.
I know that Joshua, for him to do this, he really, really loves you.
That's for sure.
Also, I've made an iPhone app for the No Agenda stream called No Agenda Radio.
It lets you listen to the show, also tells you what is playing on the stream.
The next update will include push notifications when the show is live.
It has an iAd in it so all the douchebags that don't donate can download it and click on the ad and the money will go to the show.
So douchebags, download the app and click ads.
The app is free.
Nice.
We appreciate it, Josh.
Very nice.
Thank you.
Perola Gustafson.
Perola Gustafson Gustafson.
Why don't you just shoot me?
By your command.
Sweden.
It's my 30th birthday on the 9th of February and I'm obviously obliged to do a donation, $111.11.
After my last donation, I won back about the same amount on a lottery.
It was a wash.
It was a wash.
I hope for some cloud karma since Google closed my account.
Oh, yes.
Why?
Why did they close your account?
It's ridiculous.
This is why the cloud sucks.
Yep.
You've got karma.
Last week, the douchebags charged me $5 for the storage on my account that they closed several months ago.
What account is this?
I don't know.
What kind of account do they charge?
Isn't everything free?
Well, maybe not in Sweden.
Well, don't pay it.
Don't pay it, whatever you do.
Well, send us some more details.
Yeah, we want to find out what's going on there, Perola Gustafsson.
Thomas Nussbaum, Sir Thomas, as a matter of fact, in Virginia Beach, another $111.11, number two of ten for the N.A. Nicole, I subscribe per Adam's instructions.
I was born in 65 and going to be 46.
So in other words, he did the calculation that came up with 111, which you'll explain after we're done.
And so he felt obliged to give us $111.11.
Robert Wiltshire, I'm sorry.
Tampa, Florida.
Birth year is 87.
I'll be 24.
So here's the lucky $111.
Okay, unbelievable when that happens.
I love it when that takes place.
So what you do is you take the year you were born, in my case that was 64, you add to it the age you will be this year.
I'm going to be 47.
If it equals $111, you should donate.
Or maybe join up with the $11.11 a month program.
Which is good, too.
New donor, Michelle Jackson, $100.
Calgary, Alberta.
I believe she sent me a note, but I can't find it.
Oh, thank you, Michelle.
Well, it's nice to see another woman on board.
Yeah, that's number seven.
Robert Majors in Lake Forest Park, Washington.
Cheers to Adam and Mickey for laying down the butts.
Oh, that's right, cigarettes.
And for luckily giving momentum for my very good buddy, entertainment mogul and no agenda contributor Marty for doing the same.
You know, at the office, everyone said, wow, you look really healthy.
I think it has to do that.
Yeah, because people haven't seen me for a couple months.
Yeah, well you always look kind of washed out when you were smoking too much.
Yeah, I think that's exactly what it is.
It looked really good.
And we had sex last night.
It was amazing.
I think it's better.
Sex without smokes is better.
I'm just more dynamic that way.
I don't have low T. Too much info for you, John?
I'm not really interested in this.
Chris Geelan, Geelan, Guilen, I can't remember how to pronounce his name, but...
Geelan, Geelan.
Gesundheit.
$77 from him because he says, John and Adam, the ringtone I got from the last episode was even more amusing than I anticipated.
John's pronunciation, or he might as well use the word butchering of the Dutch language, is hilarious.
So I had to donate again.
You really made my day.
Read it.
Geile Groeten uit Brussel.
Yes, exactly.
The contribution counts toward my knighthood and I hope to also to a dukedom in Steven Pelsmacher's barony.
Wow.
You know what?
Belgium has not had a government for 242 days, I think.
Yeah.
Turn it over to Pelsmacher.
Yeah, exactly.
We're going to run the show.
We're going to have barons, earls, dukes, knights.
They're not going to need a government.
We'll take care of everything.
Might be a lot better than what they got.
Hell yeah.
Pelsmachers could run the show.
I'm sure he could.
Schnorrestein.
Schnorrestein.
Schnorrestein in Norway.
Yeah, he's at North Pole, actually.
He's the northernmost located listener.
I'm still puzzled by Hussein Obama's first executive order.
What was the most pressing issue working my way towards knighthood within the month?
What was it, $60.66?
What was the first executive order?
I'm not sure.
There's a bunch of weird ones.
I can look while you're doing that.
William McAllister looks like a new donor.
Glasgow in the UK. A first-time donor.
Yes, he is.
Can I have some karma for my friend Barney?
You've got karma.
There you go.
He's got a rough spell, apparently.
He needs correcting.
Dean Morin, uh...
Or Moran?
Morin, I think.
Morin, I think, yeah.
Uh, Crown Point, Indiana, $66.
Dwayne in Hemet, California.
Uh...
It's what was left in his PayPal account apparently.
He's been sitting there for years.
By the way, anyone who has leftover money in their PayPal account, do us a favor and close the account and send us the donation.
It's symbolic.
Joe the Dish Slave in Stockton.
Hey guys.
Hey guys, double nickels from Joe the Dish Slave for his birthday on Friday.
Yeah, we got him on the list.
I'll be turning, no joke, 33.
Yay!
Magic number.
I'm an MK Ultra Condition Trigger for the Earthquake Machine that will trigger the Gulf of Aiden Stargate.
Please mention my podcast, The Ozone Nightmare.
Before some karma.
You need some karma.
Yeah, we'll trigger that gulf of eight in Stargate.
You've got karma.
Oh, you got me with that one.
That was good.
We got female number eight, Samantha Costa, in Stockton, California.
Double nickels on the dime.
Hi, John and Adam.
I wanted to say happy birthday to my husband, Joe.
Ah, this is sweet.
This is sweet.
Hey, what do we got going here?
This is sweet.
Remember that couple that was breaking up?
Yeah, the ones that kept donating for each other.
Yeah, they kept donating, they went up each other, and then we stopped hearing from them.
Yeah, it's all over.
Double murder.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Yeah, that's very sweet, and we will be saying happy birthday in a moment to him.
That's very nice of you, Samantha.
That's true love.
You make your man wash the dishes.
You know he's listening to No Agenda while the kids are watching E! Entertainment.
But you appreciate what he's doing, and we really love that.
Thank you.
We're finally getting more women.
We've got female number nine, Natasha White.
It must be how I look with not smoking.
Brixton.
Oh, Brixton!
Brixton!
It's almost the slums.
It's the hip slums now.
It's the hip slums.
It's been gentrified.
Mm-hmm.
I would really be pleased if you could wish a very happy birthday to my boyfriend, Richard Hepton, in Roberts Bridge.
Who is 32 on the 22nd.
That's some ways off, but we'll wish him a happy birthday so we don't forget.
No problem.
And thank you very much, Natasha X. She, and anyone named Natasha must be gorgeous.
Natasha.
Or a Russian spy.
Yes.
Skyler Viscani in Bakersfield, California.
Double nickels on the dime.
This is Skyler who's been donating every single show for like the past four or five shows.
He doesn't stop.
And he wants karma for us again, which I'll gladly take and receive.
You've got karma.
And then we have a few $50 donors.
Andrew Sawyer in Vancouver, BC. Beautiful city, by the way, if you haven't visited it.
Craig Jones, Danville, Pennsylvania.
He wants us to mention the lgbtaq.com.
No way.
Which is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual.
Al-Qaeda.
Which has been redirected to our site.
I didn't know that.
That's awesome.
L-G-B-T-A-Q dot com.
We are the lesbian, gay, bi-curious, transgendered Al-Qaeda.
Everybody in the morning to you.
How you doing?
We got some hot pockets.
David Middlebrook in Ellen Aberdeenshire.
Lisa Lang, Fitzroy.
Another woman.
We're up to 10.
Vitzroy, North Victoria, Australia.
And then, of course, Tristan Wilson.
Oh, there's a different Tristan, it looks like, in Padbury, Western Australia.
Tristan Wilson-Kerrigan.
And I understand the Australians jumping on board ever since I spoke about maybe New Zealand being the place to move to.
And you slammed New Zealand.
And I got a lot of email.
Everybody, it's john at dvorak.org.
Don't send email to me about what he's saying.
I didn't slam New Zealand.
I love the place.
No.
I need a trip there is what I need.
S8 says, I can't believe Dvorak dissed New Zealand so much today.
Doesn't he know we have great dirt cheap wine here?
If I ever see his face around, he's getting a shoe thrown at it.
There you go.
More shoe throwing at John C. Dvorak.
So we really appreciate all of this giving and love and support for the program.
We have decided we just don't take any commercial money.
We couldn't do this show if we did.
For those of you who are new and don't quite understand what's going on here.
I want to send one last little thing out here which floated around in this thing, which is a Valentine's call out saying, I love you, Polly, from John.
Are you clipping your nails again?
No, this is a pen.
Oh, okay.
And I have this nervous habit of grabbing the little, you know, the clip.
Oh, you're clicking it.
I pop it.
But this is clicking the pen.
This is popping the clip.
And so I'll break almost every clip I've got.
Really?
Yeah, because they bust off if you keep doing this.
Wow.
You know, those are collector's items.
With the busted clip?
Yeah, the busted clip.
I have a John C. Dvorak busted clip.
So if you did not receive our mailing, which we sent out, there were pictures of the night rings, which are now forthcoming.
Eric the Shill is working on those.
And they're beautiful, by the way.
They're absolutely stunning.
Anyone who was a knight will receive one, and it's included with your donation.
If you did not receive the email, you can sign up.
There's always a sign-up form at the bottom of the show notes and the postings at curry.com, dvorak.org.
If you think you've signed up and you didn't receive it, check your spam box because we've had some issues.
Yeah, and send me a note, johnatdvorek.org, about why it ended up in the spam box, because I'm trying to correct whatever error I'm making, because I've run the spam, I've run it through MailChimp, and they look at it and say, I don't know, this looks fine to us.
There's something about that chimp on MailChimp that's irritating.
Yeah, I agree.
It's like, hey, stupid monkey.
Yeah, stupid monkey.
Just make sure my mail doesn't go into spam.
So, everybody, remember this.
Dvorak.org slash N-A. It grows on you, that one.
I really like what Jeff Smith did.
Someone sent me an email and said, I've been singing this short little song all day.
I can't get it out of my head.
Guess what it is?
Dvorak.org slash N-A. That is the address you need to go to if you'd like to support the program.
ChannelDvorak.com slash N-A also works.
works, and of course, noagentershow.com, where there's a link to the donation page.
It's your birthday, birthday, on No Agenda.
Happy birthday to Per Ola Gustafsson, Gustafsson, who turned 30 yesterday on the 9th of February, Mike DeBrock celebrates his birthday, and we appreciate his support of the show today.
Joe the Diff Shlave, 33 on February 11th.
And of course, he also gets love and hugs and kisses from Samantha Costa, Miss Diff Shlave, which is a beautiful thing to see.
And Natasha White wants to wish her boyfriend, Richard Hepton, a very happy birthday.
He turns 32 on the 22nd.
Thank you, everybody, for your donations.
And happy birthday from your friends here at the No Agenda Show.
It's your birthday, yeah!
Did you get everybody in that?
I think so.
You got...
I got everyone, including Mike DeBrock, who wasn't on the list.
And you got Per Ola?
I didn't remember that one.
Yeah, yeah, Per.
I got Per.
I wasn't paying attention to Per.
No, you weren't.
You were busting your clip.
No, I was going through my list of things.
I wanted to do a couple of reminders for some people.
You were busting the clip, man.
This is busting the cliff.
Let me just make an announcement.
Please.
We have a lot of artists, and many of them are extremely talented, and some of them are very creative, and many of them are big-shot commercial artists that do our covers.
I want to just remind them out there, if they're listening this far, do not put the show numbers on the artwork.
Oh, good point.
Because we get a lot of artwork that we want to, you know, sometimes it'll get passed over one week and then the next week we don't like the art and we'll pull one.
It turns out that something from a week or so earlier is better for today's show and we'll pull it as an evergreen.
But it has a show number on it.
And it has somebody put a show number on it and so now I'd have to go in and edit out the number and it's, you know, find something else instead.
Don't do that.
And also, for those of you out there, go look at noagendaartgenerator.info.
This is where everyone puts the art up, and it's just stunningly beautiful.
I mean, sometimes we have five, six different pieces to choose from, and it's just so beautiful.
And you can use that, by the way.
You can make stickers out of it.
You can post it around, put it on your blog, your Facebook, a link to it from Twitter.
Make sure the LGBTAQ sees it.
So I just wanted to...
This was some great thinking.
I'm seeing more and more as our audience starts to grow, although we still are kind of at the 1% level of people in the audience donating.
People are thinking in the no agenda manner and it's taken us three years to start receiving this.
I'm seeing this happen more and more often.
I love it.
Yeah, it really brings a smile to my face.
Every once in a while you get somebody who sends you an analysis that you would have done if you had the same information and it's all no agenda thinking.
It's like A, B, C, and D, three discrepant pieces of information that are cooked together in some logical way that makes nothing but sense.
So a couple of our human resources said, hey, there's something showing up today in the news, which is a throwback to an article from January 12th.
So when it comes to vaccines...
I'd just like to reassert for you that all of the pharmaceutical companies predicted that vaccines were going to be where they get their growth from in the coming years.
Now, they started saying this in 2008.
We looked at all the annual reports.
You can go back.
You can take a look at it.
And there's a number of reasons for it.
One is it's a lot more cost-effective to tell people to take something before they're sick.
I mean, isn't that wonderful?
Hey, you're not sick yet.
Hey, have some medicine.
And then when you're sick from that medicine, we'll give you some more medicine.
The testing is nowhere near as rigorous, if at all, when it comes to vaccines.
Case in point, Finland.
Now this is showing up in Gitmo Nation lowlands, other countries.
The World Health Organization actually confirming now there are concerns with the H1N1 swine flu vaccine being linked to narcolepsy with kids.
Oh yeah, well, we should have checked that.
Uh-huh.
Well, I mean, don't even get me started on that.
It was rushed out.
It was rushed out, not tested.
I asked everybody about this phony baloney flu that never really happened.
And then at the end of the day, go, oh, well, we got lucky.
We dodged a bullet.
Oh, yeah.
Unfortunately, your kid now falls asleep every 10 seconds.
Tough shit, slave.
For the rest of his life, probably.
Yeah, oh yeah, there's no cure for narcolepsy.
Good work on people who paid no attention to the logic of not getting that shot.
So, of course, the way the news works is you have to have a PR agency.
Hill and Knowlton would be a good one.
Or a study.
A study is always good.
And that becomes a news article, and that's how you start it all up.
So the script for vaccines, here's how it worked with swine flu.
Oh my gosh, swine flu.
Woo!
Danger, danger, danger.
Get some doctors and lab coats talking about it.
Then, oh, there's a shortage!
Oh, there's a shortage of swine flu!
Everybody get your shot!
Remember that, John?
People were lined up.
Oh, you better get my shot now because there's a shortage.
We don't have enough.
We don't have enough eggs to create them.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Okay.
And then you get the shot and then nothing happens except, oh, you fall asleep.
Oh, well.
At least you don't have swine flu.
So, January 12th, New York Times.
A study published on Tuesday in the Journal of American Medical Association, which is not the Journal of American Medicine, reported the...
Hello, darling, how did it go?
Yeah, does it go good?
Go well?
Yeah?
You happy?
They didn't say much?
Okay.
Alright.
Have some heroin.
Um...
I'm so happy.
So a study, the rate of shingles, here it comes, was 55% lower.
Of the 75,761 people age 60 or older who received the vaccine compared to those who did not.
However, the problem is, as the headline on this article says, few takers for the shingles vaccine.
Not enough people taking the shingles vaccine.
Not enough people taking the shingles vaccine.
Front page USA Today...
As we fast forward to yesterday, new shingles vaccine in short supply!
Wait a minute.
Where's the logic in this?
Nobody's using it, but somehow it's in short supply now?
How does that work?
Tell me, explain that to me.
Well, the back story, of course, is simple.
Not enough people taking it, although you should.
Hmm, okay, what do we do?
Let's create some demand by saying there's short supply.
And then Janice Lloyd of USA Today, less than a month after the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that's your CDC who gave your children narcolepsy, recommended most Americans over 60 get vaccinated to prevent shingles.
The vaccine is in short supply!
Oh no!
John!
Well, you're not 60 yet, but you might as well go ahead and get it, man.
You're close to it.
You gotta get the one time vaccine.
You better get it too because there may be none left by the time you get that over.
So it's just unbelievable.
Now of course we also have a flu breakthrough.
A flu breakthrough I tell you.
As there will be a vaccine that will kill all flu.
Yeah.
Actually, this has been something they have been working on, I know for a fact, for the last 10 years.
And it's an interesting one.
I think it's a problematic product.
They're either going to find something wrong with it.
You can't have the show.
You think?
You think?
Because this shot, which apparently what somebody discovered, and this was some time back, is that there was a common mechanism in all flus.
Because they're all variations of the same, you know, the H-stents or something and the N-stents or something.
You just get these combinations of ingredients that keep making up these different seasonal flus.
And somebody came up with some way of saying, well, what's similar about all these things?
Can we attack that?
You fall asleep after you get the vaccine.
That's the only similarity.
And so there was like some one little thing, if they could break this one bond somehow, then all flu would be, you could kill, you know, basically defend against all flus.
And as soon as they came up with this concept, I said, why would they do that?
Because the idea...
Is that every year you get to sell the same vaccine over and over again with a slight variation.
And it's a huge cash cow.
You're not going to have some universal thing like a polio vaccine.
It's not going to happen.
Yeah.
I love it.
I think they're doing it.
They'll find something wrong with this.
It doesn't work.
It makes you sick.
You know, the one company, the company will go bankrupt.
There'll be something weird.
It'll happen.
But I know for a fact it's probably legit if they ever get it to market, which they won't.
And that closes off our...
I can go straight into another jingle, John.
Hit it.
Oh, here we go.
So, very interesting.
Ray LaHood.
Oh, I got the clip.
Okay.
It's not about trains.
Well, I guess it is.
It's about Toyota, right?
No.
Oh, you're not going to talk about Toyota?
No, you're going to talk about Toyota after I'm done with the trains.
So, Ray LaHood, who was a gangster because he's from the hood, and Joe Amtrak Biden, they announced the president's plan.
You know, I was going to clip some of this stuff, but...
It was just so much of an eye-roller, I couldn't handle it.
Well, it's not so much the clip as someone who boots on the ground who actually wrote about this, which did not show up in any of the news media reports, of course.
So the president is rolling out $53 billion, I tell you, with a B, billion dollars for high-speed rail, everybody.
Let's listen to Joe for a second here about why we need this.
You know, the next 40 years, 40 years, The United States is expected to increase its population by 100 million people.
Did you know that?
In the next 40 years, we'll have 100 million additional slaves in this country?
Did you know that?
No, I don't, but it's possible.
Joe says so.
So it's obvious we've got to put those slaves on the trains.
I mean, that's pretty clear.
In the next 40 years?
Yeah.
40 years.
100 million people.
By the way, 70% of all the people in America are slaves.
Live within 50 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
So, let's not put them in middle America, by the way, you're screwed.
You ain't getting no train, apparently.
70%.
And you know how congested we are now as a nation.
Really?
What happens with 100 million more, a significant portion of them being along our coast.
So we're going to need that infrastructure that can be able to accommodate more people and more goods than ever before.
Folks.
We've risen to these challenges before.
America's led the world in building, in innovating, in transportation, in infrastructure for the last 200 years.
That's been the story, the history, of the journey of the commerce of this country.
In 1830, When apparently Joe was still hanging out.
The first steam engine locomotive, the Tom Thumb, ran along a rickety 13-mile trek from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills in Maryland.
But it marked the beginning of a new journey, heading straight into a better, more imaginative future that built the industrial might of America.
All right.
So he goes on and on and on.
And there's no C-SPAN of it.
The C-SPAN apparently couldn't be bothered.
He says he took the train himself 7,800 times, which would be 20 years of train riding every single day, which seems really unlikely to me.
Go ahead.
Now, a blog post by Colby...
Itkowitz from...
What is this?
TheMorningCall.com was there and asked a question.
After Biden's speech...
Colby said, hey, how are we going to pay for this $53 billion of infrastructure?
His answer?
I'll read directly from the blog post.
Maybe this is more interesting.
Grabbing Biden for a moment after his speech, I asked him how to pay for all this.
The same way you fund the highways, he said quickly before moving on.
Wow, is what I say.
That is fuel taxes.
So, I guess the way we shove the human resources into the trains is by raising taxes on fuel.
Or taxes on some other resource.
No one's going to take the train anyway.
There's only two high-speed rails in the world that actually turn a profit of all of them.
There's dozens and dozens.
They're all money losers, huge money losers.
The worst part about putting the high-speed rail in and then putting passenger service on it is the maintenance.
It's more than it costs to build the thing out.
And it's all subsidized.
So which are the two that...
I don't know.
I think the one from Paris to Lyon might be one of them, and there's another one perhaps somewhere in the world.
The Japanese ones all lose money.
It's probably the Paris to Lyon and maybe Paris to someplace else like Bordeaux.
I'm sure it's the French.
What was your Joe clip?
Well, my Joe clip was...
It wasn't Joe.
It was Ray LaHood.
Yeah.
Which is, I thought it was kind of interesting.
You know, first of all, the Rayla Hood and everybody now gave Toyota a clean bill of health.
And now I want you to play the NASA report on Toyota.
And there's a little tidbit in here which I think you'll be highly amused by.
And, of course, then they have the conclusion and I want to comment on it.
We have set the standard for thoroughness and we are appreciative.
So with that, Mike, please present NASA's information.
Thank you, Mr.
Secretary, and thank you for the opportunity to discuss our work to such a broad audience today.
As the Secretary said, I'm a principal engineer in the NASA Engineering and Safety Center.
I work out of Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, about four hours southeast of here.
Principal engineers are multidiscipline engineers and provide the project management for multidiscipline tasks in our organization.
I'd like to start the presentation with a summary of our outcome.
And the bottom line is that NASA analysis and testing did not find evidence that malfunctions in the electronic throttle control caused large unintended accelerations as described by Consumer Reports.
So, of course, we called this early on and what a bunch of bull crap this was going to be.
I haven't tracked down exactly what the Japanese did so they could finalize this report.
They probably bought more of our treasury bills.
Yeah, they must have done something nice to us.
Yeah, they did something nice.
But for one thing, I didn't know NASA had an operation in Langley, which I guess is just for convenience.
Mm-hmm.
And then, of course, I didn't know they did all this work, which seemed like something any college student could have done.
They finally discovered it was the mats that caused the problem on a few of these cars.
Now, what I thought was interesting is, in hindsight, and what's overlooked with all the reports, well, Toyota's got a clean bill of health.
After all the fines, they were fined and all these other things went on.
Is that if you remember during this era where the runaway Prius is flying down the road, unstoppable.
Yeah, remember we had the guy who called in like half an hour.
He was on the phone like, I'm doing 190.
I can't stop.
I don't know that anybody's pointed out the fact that first you had all these episodes and people killed.
And then they made a big stink about it.
And then from that point, which is about, what, a year and a half ago?
A year ago?
When was this?
It was a while back.
Yeah, a year and a half.
So today, there was not one more Lone Wolf episode at all.
There wasn't one example.
I mean, they hadn't really changed anything.
There was nothing to change because it was the mats that were causing the problem.
There was nothing changed.
So meanwhile, there was not one more wreck or accident or out-of-control car.
Does this seem a little weird to you?
You have a bunch of here.
Let's go over the timeline.
You got a bunch of weird cars going out of control and consumer reports.
Oh, it's an electrical system.
No, no, no, no, no.
If we go back over the timeline, Japan said we're not going to buy your treasuries anymore.
We documented that.
They said we're not buying your debt.
We're not on board with the program.
Screw you.
And then all of a sudden, oh, your cars suck.
That's what happened.
Yes, but in the process, there was a bunch of accidents and people going out of control and it was carried by the news.
All these bad things were happening and then everyone was all upset about it.
And since there was nothing that was wrong with the car, basically, what made all these problems that were happening left and right stop happening out of the blue for the entire period until this rail of hood comes out and says, eh, there was no problem.
Well, you want my analysis?
You want my answer?
They stopped killing people.
It's like they got what they wanted.
Google Japan Treasuries.
Do I have to do everything?
Yeah.
Japan Treasuries.
Oh, wait a minute.
Safari doesn't like it when I do it there.
Japan Treasury.
I guarantee you that they're buying it again.
Major foreign holders of US treasuries, news for Japan, rise on treasuries, treasury for monthly gain.
I guess I've got to go past a week or past 24 hours.
It probably was about a week ago, I'm guessing.
Yeah, they're probably buying again.
We'll look it up.
I just think the whole thing.
I mean, it's like, why doesn't anybody pick up on the fact that there were all these accidents and they stopped completely for no good reason?
Anyway, okay.
Story now, let's go to another story.
We can drop that.
Well, can I just do another car story then while we're on it?
Yeah, you got a car story?
Yeah, remember the lobbyist Ashley Turton?
Her car blew up or caught fire in her garage and she couldn't get out?
This was a two-to-the-head story that didn't get a lot of play.
There was a lot going on.
It happened around the same time.
Another guy we don't talk about, the Bush guy.
Got whacked and thrown in the dumpster.
Oh, right.
The guy that was wandering around.
Yeah, exactly.
So she was an oil lobbyist, and I guess she was in the wrong deal or something.
This was in Washington, and her SUV caught fire and she burned to death in the car in her garage.
So an ongoing investigation, they figured it out.
Yeah, really.
It's like, okay guys, could you be a little more subtle about killing people when you do it?
Her 2008 BMW X5, here's what happened.
Because of the lights, the high intensity headlights, she didn't see the end of the garage when she was rolling in.
It punctured the radiator and because of the puncture in the radiator, the car caught fire and she burned to death and died.
What punctured the radiator?
Like a bike or something.
Did you have a spear at the end of the driveway?
But literally they're saying investigators analyzing the death of lobbyist Ashley Turton believe the high-intensity headlights of her sport utility vehicle may be responsible for the fatal fire that engulfed her Capitol Hill garage.
Unbelievable.
How did they even come up with this?
The halogen headlights, which emit a bluish light and illuminate the road better than conventional headlights, stayed on after the radiator was punctured.
So she didn't see it, you see?
It's like she hit something so hard her radiator got punctured.
You've got to hit something pretty hard.
And then she just stayed in the car for no good reason?
She couldn't open the door?
Yeah, exactly.
The working theory being investigated by D.C. police...
And did the door of the garage close in the meantime?
I mean, this whole thing is...
No, no, it gets better.
Investigated by D.C. police and fire investigators and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the heat from the headlights in proximity to the radiator's antifreeze...
Antifreeze is not flammable.
Antifreeze is flammable, it says, although it only catches fire at 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which, of course, these halogen lights apparently get hot enough to...
This is like 9-11 here.
No, the steel melts from jet fuel.
Antifreeze ignites from halogen lights.
Well, take all BMWs off the road.
Right now.
They're a danger.
If you're a lobbyist, that is.
I'm getting people getting whacked.
They have no scruples, these people.
It's like, but just kill you.
I'm looking up ethylene.
I don't know what they use in there, if there's some special antifreeze.
Generally speaking, antifreeze is ethylene glycol.
So let me look it up.
I have my Merck Index, which one of our listeners gladly sent me, or one of our producers.
The trouble is it's such a big book, you have to dig around.
I mean, even if that happened, it was probably the gaffer tape that they had taped her arms behind her back with that didn't allow her to get out of the car.
Please.
It's insulting to my intelligence.
And this is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Yeah, this is our theory.
Yeah, how about she got whacked because she was in a bad deal.
She was lobbying for the wrong oil company.
She got whacked, dude.
Whacked.
Lobbiest gets whacked next to Geraldo.
That's your clip.
Yeah, I know.
What time is it?
11.
Got it.
I'm not seeing heat of vapor.
Is it vaporized?
No, man.
Why even bother?
You know it's crap.
You know it's crap.
It's not true.
It's bull crap.
You don't have to look.
It's not true.
Besides that, why would you use a flammable liquid in a heating system?
It's idiotic.
Anyway, okay.
A couple of...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Do you have something to...
Well, not another car, really.
I do have a thing that's breaking news.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Wait a minute.
Breaking news from John C. Dvorak.
Play the 2010 egg.
Oh no.
Let me know that.
Breaking news from John C. Dvorak.
2010 egg.
A quick word about eggs.
Is it healthy or no?
Yeah, this is really exciting news.
It came from the egg board.
It's data from USDA. What they found is that the 2010 egg is better than the 2002 egg.
It has less cholesterol, 14% less cholesterol, 185 milligrams per egg, and more vitamin D, 64% increase up to 41 units per egg.
And you were telling me downstairs, one a day.
One egg a day is okay.
One egg a day is fine.
Just don't overdo the saturated fats.
Okay.
Thank you, Rich Besser.
And coming up, prepare to be amazed.
Now, wait a minute.
Let me think.
Is this leading into a plug for Mimi's book about eggs?
Well, yeah.
But the point is, what are we talking about?
Mimi's book about eggs.
Year number for the egg?
Yeah.
Not the 2009 egg, I don't know.
It was a good year for eggs.
Hey, hey, I got a 1999 egg in my basement.
You'll just love when I make an omelet out of this puppy.
I mean, give me a break, the 2010 egg.
It's a chicken.
Yeah, we do have an egg book coming out.
We're also working on the wheat book.
Somebody sent me an email saying, you know, you guys are always teasing one topic for the next show and you never talk about it, which is true.
But I'm going to say that, just to say about wheat, what they've done is they've come up with new bleaching agents and you should start looking it up.
There's again going to be a book on this.
But the point is that all wheat is bleached.
No matter whether you like it or not, except unless you grind your own and it's fresh that day, it's always bleached.
So the unbleached wheat or flour is the same as bleached flour and it's bleached differently.
And the whole thing's a huge scam.
And it turns out that a lot of asthma and other issues may be caused by the crappy flour that we're being fed in this country.
In many cases, some of the ways we're manufacturing our flour are actually illegal to do in Europe.
I look forward to seeing Mimi talking about her egg and wheat book on C-SPAN 2.
It'll be two different books.
So, Ministry of Truth, and unfortunately there's no video that I know of, I looked for it, of Hillary Clinton, who was visiting Mexico, and she was interviewed by Denise Merker of Televisa, who asked her opinion of proposals to address black market violence by repealing drug prohibition.
So the question is, in Mexico, there are those who propose not keeping going with this battle and legalize drug trafficking and consumption.
What is your opinion?
Now, it reads great, so that's why I'm sad that I don't have audio or video of it.
Her answer, I don't think that will work.
I mean, I hear the same debate.
I hear it in my country.
It's not likely to work.
There's just too much money in it.
And I don't think that you can legalize small amounts for possession.
There's just too much money in it.
Yeah, for the Clintons, in drug running, it's unbelievable.
Too much money.
It's not going to be legalized.
We're making too much money.
Google Mina, Arkansas, everybody, just to remind you of what the Clintons' role is.
The Clintons in the bush, they run all the drugs.
That's their job in the New World Order.
And then WikiLeaks.
Finally, now we've got some good stuff.
WikiLeaks cable comes out, which is now being tweeted everywhere.
WikiLeaks says peak oil is real!
Peak oil is real!
Saudi Arabia cannot pump enough oil to keep a lid on prices.
U.S. diplomat convinced by Saudi experts, reserves of world's biggest oil exporter have been overstated by nearly 40%.
The analysis?
Peak oil!
So then I'm like, wow.
This is interesting.
So I go and read the actual cable, which of course no one can be bothered to do, or the cable that is released.
And it literally...
So even the Guardian highlights in yellow...
The crux of the issue is twofold.
First, it's possible that Saudi reserves are not as bountiful as sometimes described in the timeline for their production, not as unrestrained as Aramco executives and energy optimists would like to portray.
So this is being spun as peak oil, but in the cable it actually says...
While stating that he does not subscribe to the theory of peak oil, the former Aramco board member does believe that a global output plateau will be reached in the next five to ten years.
Well, that's very different than saying it's peak oil, which is exactly the way this is being spun.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
One of our listeners is an oil trader.
Yes, he is.
Or something like that.
Well, he's a trader.
I think he is, yeah.
Uh...
He doesn't believe the $200 thing, which we question too, because it would break the world's economy.
And he's been making money shorting oil at 92 and then popping it down to 86.
And after Egypt starts to cool down, he says you're starting to see this more normalization of the oil prices.
But I think it's going to go...
They're going to take a run at it because they get it up as high as they can.
I wouldn't be surprised if they get it past...
They've got to beat the record, which I believe is 147.
They've got to beat the record just to do it.
Of course, it'll be running for the next couple of months because the Glencore IPO isn't until May, I think.
After the IPO, they'll take it up a little bit more.
Yeah, it'll help boost the stock.
But I think we'll see the peak somewhere around September, just leading into the cold season again.
That could be.
We also got a letter from one of our friends in the intelligence world.
Yeah, as we do.
Let me read this because it's interesting.
I'm not going to say his name, obviously, but it's just not revealing anything interesting so far as intelligence is concerned, but it's kind of...
What we've been saying all along about the military-industrial-academic complex.
So I was listening to the last Sunday show and it reminded me of something I meant to share with you.
I'm an intelligence analyst at the Air Force.
Last week I was at an intelligence conference.
They have these things by the ton.
A speaker from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, did you know that that even existed?
Sounds like a division of NASA. Was discussing some new programs they're trying to field.
A senior executive from Northrop Grumman asked him how long it would take until it was ready.
As a joke, the speaker said, when will the war be over?
And the Northrup executive said, don't worry, there'll be another war.
The rest of the slaves in the room just laughed and the presentation went on.
Because of my years of listening to No Agenda and the fact that Adam has drilled into my head that words matter, I was just floored.
The words kept repeating in my head, was it just a joke?
Or is it the military-industrial-academic complex really that tied into the march toward wars?
I believe it's the latter.
As a side note, which is the real reason I'm reading this, MITRE Corporation, which we've talked about, the federally funded think tank, MIT, Georgia Tech, and other academic institutions are always present at these classified conferences.
That's right.
There it is.
There's your military-industrial-academic complex at work.
Because words do matter.
Yeah.
Now, we appreciate those inside things.
Yeah, especially when they confirm what we've been promoting.
It's crazy.
Talking about the CIA, I do have one clip which I thought was highly amusing.
The guy who wrote, he didn't write Syria, but Syriana essentially was written by this guy.
His name is Bayer.
Ex-CIA. He writes a bunch of memoirs which have to be cleared, he says.
But somebody asked him, he was in the C-SPAN, and somebody asked him out of the blue, do you think it's a good idea to visit Iran?
And I thought his answer was interesting because it makes me want to go to Iran.
So imagine you're asking a CIA guy, what do you think about visiting Iran somehow?
The airport, this brand new airport.
That's a beautiful airport, by the way.
Very organized and everybody's very polite.
And they pulled me aside to say, Mr.
Bear, would you come with us?
I said, you know, my mother was right.
I'm half an idiot.
But anyhow, it was to fingerprint me because I was a journalist and we fingerprinted them.
But if a CIA guy can go in that used to deal with the Iranian opposition for years and did not write well about them in his first book, if he can go in and then be hosted by the office of Ahmadinejad, you can go.
I mean, you can't do something crazy there.
I mean, you're not going to...
I mean, there's no American consulate to call up if you get arrested.
But if you're a tourist, they'll treat you well.
It's a fascinating place.
Extraordinarily sophisticated culture.
And, you know, you go with good questions and, you know, catch up with the latest rock and roll and you'll be welcomed and embraced.
We've discussed this many times in the past when the saber-rattling first started about Aram.
70% of the country is under 30.
The Persian people, they're beautiful.
And they're not Arabs.
They're beautiful to look at.
They've got iPhones, they've got iPods, they've got cell phones, and I've seen pictures of Iran.
It's lush, green.
I mean, there's beautiful, beautiful parts of Iran.
I'd love to go.
Yeah, I'd love to go, too.
I mean, for no other reason than to get that smoked rice, which I'd get.
Of course.
Of course, there's a food angle.
Of course.
Oh, yeah.
Can you imagine?
I mean, Iranian food is quite tasty.
And I'm sure there it's really dynamite, obviously.
And I would love to go there to have some food, take some photos, go look at some of the sites, and hang out with some of the people talk rock and roll, like they said, which I guess they're into.
And, you know, go and then leave.
I mean, I wouldn't want to stay for a long time.
I think it's real easy.
I mean, of course, Los Angeles is pretty much little Iran.
And I know tons of people who are from Iran.
Yeah, we can probably get a pretty good look at the place.
Yeah, we can get a place to stay.
It's no problem.
No problem at all.
If we're serious, and of course, we'll never do it.
We never go anywhere, which is unfortunate.
Well, I'm going to Madrid next week, so...
Oh, are you going to do the show from there?
Yeah, I'm going to be there on Thursday, and I'll do the show.
I guess it's, what, 9 o'clock at night is when it's 9 in the morning?
No, 6 o'clock at night.
Is it 6?
Yeah, 6 p.m.
Oh, okay.
Well, anyway, I get in about 10 noon or something, and I'll set up shop, hopefully.
If there's anybody that lives in Madrid...
That listens to the show, I'd be interested in having a backup plan in case I can't get a good connection in the hotel.
Yeah, I'd be interested in that too.
I think you should.
But I suspect that the connection will be fine.
I have a couple of remnants of programming that I do not want to miss.
The BBC had a very interesting report about RFID. This is now starting to heat up a little bit as Apple and HTC and Nokia and everyone is coming out with their RFID technology, but also the near-field communications.
And remember I was saying that I had this theory, this kind of wacky theory?
Yeah.
How surprising.
That the IPv6 was really needed because we needed more IP addresses to track cash.
Remember that?
Yeah.
That cash would have its own IP address and then, you know, you wouldn't...
Right.
Well, we know for a fact, and I think we've discussed this before on the show, that a lot of the bills being printed nowadays have an RFID chip in them.
Well, it's been disputed and the governments say, no, it's not true.
However, this BBC report shows a $5 bill with an RFID tag.
It shows euro notes.
Check it out.
Listen to this report.
And they have not changed the tactile properties of the banknote.
In the future, it won't just be manufacturers who can protect themselves, but any business that handles this stuff, and which knows what it's like to find a fake note in the till at the end of the day.
Because scientists are already experimenting with putting extremely thin RFID circuits right onto banknotes.
The thickness of the circuit is very small.
The circuits are actually thinner than the ink on the same banknote that is put there to define the visual features.
The circuits are thinner than the ink.
Making circuits this thin is an extremely delicate process.
Funny boiler suits and a dustproof environment are just the beginning of what's required.
So, you actually see it in the video, a $5 note with the RFID tag in there.
They show it to you under a special light lamp, and then they show you your own notes.
And then they say, oh, in the future, it's just an experiment.
That's right.
Well, there was some guy with a website, of course it could be bogus, but I've done this myself, who took a bunch of $100 bills and put them in the microwave oven, and then cranked it up, and they popped the circuit, which was in the middle of the bill, and put a hole in Ben Franklin's.
Yeah, no, we've done this, and we talked about this years ago when I was doing it with Euronotes.
It burns a little hole right in the middle where the circuitry is.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what they're doing.
I mean, yeah, every bill could have its own IP address, and that would be kind of funny.
They're definitely possible because of the trillions and trillions of IP addresses you'll be able to get from the new system.
I think it's the way to go.
Way to go.
So we both had the diet soda report.
It's interesting because you have a clip about a minute and it says diet soda bad.
Diet soda really bad.
And I have an analysis which I thought was kind of more interesting from a doctor, from a TV doctor by the way.
This is the report that came out which basically said the elephant in the room is they're talking about aspartame but they're not saying aspartame.
Never.
Which is very interesting.
It's all about the sweeteners.
So this is a PR job, and I have proof of that in a moment.
Let's listen to your clip first.
Is it new set up, or just roll the report?
Yeah, this is Diane Sawyer, who I don't think is a good anchor.
She kind of is mud-mouthed.
Mud-mouthed?
But here she is.
In health news tonight, first, diet soda and a new report that seems to show a link to heart attack and stroke.
And also, eggs.
Turns out they may be healthier than they were before.
What does this mean for the amount we can eat?
Our chief health and medical editor, Dr.
Richard Besser, is here to explain.
Let's start with the diet soda.
Oh, this is going to be great because I have another chief medical editor from a different news report.
So this is going to be great.
We'll compare the two.
This will be fun.
As you know, I want to start with the diet soda here.
Hold on a second.
Stop.
If we're going to do that, let's look for the exact same wording.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
Because my doctor actually stumbles and almost messes it up, and I think that's a clue.
A link to stroke?
Heart disease?
That's right.
It's a study that was presented today.
Okay, now, again, listen to what he's saying, because, again, it's a study.
Right?
It's a study.
This is how you get news.
Do a study.
And you got news.
Now listen very closely.
At the American Stroke Association meeting, and it seems to show that people who have daily diet soda are at increased risk of stroke.
But I have to tell you, I don't buy the findings.
It wasn't well done.
They didn't look at what other things people were taking in.
So I wouldn't change behavior based on that.
But, Diane, I got to tell you, I'm not a big fan of drinking a lot of diet soda.
So if you hear about that study, don't go by that study, but why don't you like diet soda?
Well, we know that regular soda is linked to obesity, but if you're drinking a lot of diet soda, you're going to start to crave that intense sweetness that you get there, and that's not good.
If you can switch over to having unsweetened beverages, having sparkling water, unsweetened tea, and occasional diet soda, that's fine.
Wow, okay, so without saying it, he's saying it's addictive.
You'll keep wanting it.
You'll want more.
You'll want more.
Very interesting.
So he says, oh, the study's no good.
Now, this is ABC. Oh, this is fantastic.
My report is from NBC. Oh, wow, this is great.
And listen to what my...
So your doctor is...
Oh, I don't like this study.
This is no good.
Just screw this.
My doctor has a little different take, and also about the study...
Dr.
Nancy Snyder, NBC's Chief Medical Editor.
Good morning to you, Nancy.
Notice, Chief Medical Editor, same credentials, John.
Same credentials.
This is a little confusing.
The official study has not been released.
This is a press release.
Oh!
Well, that's interesting.
It's a press release.
It's not the actual study.
So did your doctor actually read the study?
I don't know.
He seems to have, but maybe not.
She says that it's not out yet.
Listen.
Abstract.
So it's not just a press release.
It is an abstract, and it was presented at the stroke meeting.
So they presented an abstract at the stroke meeting.
So you're guys lying.
I think.
He read the abstract.
He doesn't like it.
Stand by.
Let's hear more.
And there's some science behind this.
Okay, but without being able to pinpoint the link, how much diet soda...
Do you hear that?
Without being able to pinpoint the link, to what?
To aspartame.
Is too much diet soda?
Well, what they found and what they reported was that for people who drank soda every day, there was a 61% increased risk of a vascular vent, something like a stroke.
I think the real question of why the beverage industry has taken its stand and the scientists are saying, no, we stand by our data, is that we don't know where the it is.
What is it that might be the link?
John, what could it be?
What could it possibly be?
What's in this stuff?
It's only like the flavoring that's in all cola.
What could it be?
I don't understand.
No one knows.
It's a mystery.
What are they talking about?
It's a mystery.
What could it be?
I don't understand.
It could maybe as the water.
No!
It couldn't be like that aspartame stuff, could it?
No, it's a mystery!
I think we have to sort of dial back our social patterns a little bit to the days of Julia Child where she would say, hey, what's wrong with a teaspoon of sugar?
It's 16 calories.
It's not going to make you fat and it's not going to kill you.
But we have fallen in love with dietary sweeteners.
And what we've all found is they've made us like things sweeter.
There's now some science that may rejigger the brain such that it makes you crave other things.
Yes, exactly.
This is what aspartame does.
It's amazing.
These people buy into global warming immediately.
Science says so.
But when it comes to proven science about aspartame, we can't even say the word aspartame because we know we're going to get sued if we do that.
So there's a link here somewhere.
We just don't know.
We can't find the link!
John, if only we could find the link!
This is funnier than mine.
I don't know where the link is.
NBC's got funnier material than ABC. And it continues.
She actually stumbles, and I think it's a clue as to what's going on here.
And you watch, because I know what's happening here.
Stand by.
Okay.
That's not quite what it is.
But there's no doubt that we like things sweeter, and when we want things sweeter, we want more of them.
But when it comes to the link, the American Beverage Association is taking a hard stand against this study.
They say that one of the problems is things like family history and weight gain were not controlled in this study.
Well, the scientists controlled things pretty much beyond that.
There may always be a genetic component.
So she's saying that the scientists did a good job.
And they did have all that control stuff.
Well, your editor is saying they didn't.
Wow, this is very interesting.
Well, ABC's more part of the White House.
Well, I know what it is.
It's coming.
You just watch.
I know what they drink in the White House.
Listen to her stumble.
And weight gain per se, I'm not so sure, is important.
The beverage industry does have a point that we don't really, there's no reason to think that this is, there's a villain in diet.
Did you hear it?
Did you hear it?
Diet what?
What did she say?
Diet Cola.
That's what she was going to say.
Diet Coke.
Listen very carefully.
It is important.
The beverage industry does have a point that we don't really...
There's no reason to think that this is...
There's a villain in diet beverages.
I drink them.
I think you have to remember.
So, here's what I think is going on.
I think what's going on is this is called a Pepsi war.
Remember we talked a couple weeks ago about a new sweetener, Neoprene?
Yeah, no, there was some time ago we've been talking about these.
Not that long ago.
No, no, it's been a couple weeks.
No, it's only a couple weeks.
It's only a couple weeks.
And let me just Google it for a second.
I think it's neoprene is what it is.
Or something.
Neoprene?
No.
Yes, some stevia related.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It was another horrible one.
I can't remember what it was.
Maybe the chat room will figure it out.
So we know in the White House they drink Diet Pepsi.
We know this.
I think this is Pepsi Coke coming out and fighting because Diet Coke has aspartame and Diet Pepsi is going to announce they're using the new stuff.
You watch.
This is a diet Pepsi, diet Coke war.
And, of course, what's getting snowed under is the fact that people are dying from aspartame and all of these sweeteners that do mess with your brain, shred your DNA, make you fat.
There's a lot of folk evidence, in other words, just passed around, that...
Excessive amounts of diet colas or diet sodas of any sort actually seems to be creating early onset Parkinson's.
And I think, I would reinterpret this, if this doesn't, you're probably right, Pepsi's probably going to come up with something, because if it came out as a press release, this whole thing is being staged.
Totally.
But I also think it might be a staging for the removal of, the slow removal of aspartame before the real studies come out to show how deadly this stuff is.
Right.
And what they're going to do is they're going to come out with, they're going to slowly, it's like walking backwards real slowly while you're watching the bear, you know, Let me step back.
Let me step back.
Let me step back.
And then they're going to put in these new sweeteners and then they're going to just be mum about aspartame in the future.
It just won't show up anywhere.
So it's either Pepsi-Cola Wars, which I think is very possible, or it's a rebranding exercise.
Something is going on and no one is...
I mean, it's unbelievable that they're sitting there going, what is...
We just don't know the link.
We just don't know what it is.
I just...
It's the only variable there is in these diet colas.
It's the aspartame.
Everything else is in regular cola.
You've got your cola flavor.
You've got your phosphoric acids.
You've got your this and that.
They're all in both drinks.
The only thing that's not in regular cola is aspartame.
There you go.
So how is this so confusing to them?
Because they're not allowed to say it.
This is a PR move.
They're apparently not allowed to say it.
Yeah, it's a PR move and something is afoot.
Afoot's.
And it's happening.
We can watch it and we're going to laugh.
And this is why it's good to listen to the show.
Because you can laugh when you see it unfold.
You're like, huh, okay, we knew that.
Alright, quick trip around the dial as we look at some magic numbers before we get out of here.
And beautiful numbers.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful numbers.
There's a new Biodiversité project.
Oh, we should do the little jingle there.
Biodiversité.
Hey.
Hey.
Are you going to sing over each and every jingle?
No.
I'm just saying.
No.
I just get excited.
I get excited.
I don't mind you singing all the time, but you've sung over each jingle and these jingles are like well prepared.
Yeah, it kind of sucks when I do that, doesn't it?
And you're stepping on the poor guy's stuff.
I'm sorry.
Well, we'll do it again without me singing.
You may sing along at home.
So there's a couple of new memes.
Oh, before I forget, the new normal meme was front page of USA Today two days ago.
Remember we talked about new normal?
So the housing bust, the new normal!
It's like everything, whenever you're screwed, hey, that's the new normal, okay?
Shut up.
While you're mentioning these sorts of memes, I want to mention another one.
Michelle Malkin was on one of these shows recently moaning about this train crap about Biden.
And she mentioned she caught on to the win the future.
She said the motto is being changed, at least by Biden's camp.
Which we should be on the lookout for this.
She says the motto is changing from win the future to seize the future.
Oh.
Do you know that that was a book?
Seize the future?
No.
Winning the future was, I think, a Karl Rove book from 2005.
Oh, that's ironic.
You think?
So, Project 333, everybody.
Project 333.
You've got to get on the bandwagon for this.
Project 333 means three months with only 33 items in your closet.
We've got to go minimalist and this somehow helps the environment.
33 items in your closet?
Yes.
So for three months, you must try to get by with only 33 items in your closet.
Scaling back on wardrobe makes eco-friendly fashion statement.
What?
Yeah.
Keep asking me what.
How's that eco-unfriendly?
Well, because I guess it proves to you that you only need 33 items.
You don't need to be buying clothing because that, of course, is bad for the environment.
It's bad for the fashion industry if they take this approach.
Really?
People need jobs.
No kidding.
Former union leader gets 33 months in mob scheme.
That's a good one.
But the best one, now remember, when we look at the number 33, which we feel is code, it means whenever there's a press release that comes out and there's code with the word 33 in it, it's basically saying, hey, we've done it, mission accomplished, home base, we've done our job.
Well, here it is.
Microsoft patches 33 holes and 3 zero-day flaws.
Well, if that isn't a message that...
Wow.
If that isn't a message...
33 and a three.
And three zero-day flaws.
Pound it home.
Yeah.
It's going to be 32 flaws or 34 flaws or two...
Or a whole bunch.
Or lots, or almost 40.
So that's basically telling, probably I'm guessing, because there's always been these rumors that Microsoft has got back doors all over it.
Yeah, that's the message.
Of course it is.
And so it's telling the NSA, is my guess, or one of these agencies, but the NSA would be the ones that would need the back door.
Whatever you were bitching about at us at the last meeting, it's been fixed.
Yep, it's all done.
Yay!
Yeah.
You can stop bitching.
It's all fixed.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Huh.
Let me just see what any Gitmo Nation stuff.
We have tons of stuff in the show notes, of course, noagendashow.com.
You can link through to the show notes.
Huge outline, and as that project continues, we've got more human resources working on it.
We're going to come up with a...
I'm working on a system, which is too intricate to talk about here, but...
It's dynamite.
Yeah, it is actually going to be pretty cool.
I think I mentioned it in the letter I sent out, the newsletter.
Interesting, in Gitmo Nation lowlands, the Dutch bank, the Dutch central bank, DNB, the Nederlandse Bank, has told the main retirement fund, investment fund, they have to divest their gold.
He said, you can't have gold in the portfolio, which I think is really weird.
It fluctuates too much.
You probably have been noticing this as much as I have, because you probably don't listen to...
Of all the shows you watch on C-SPAN, you don't go to CNBC and listen to Fast Money.
No, no, I hate those people.
Well, there is a meme out there right now to...
Amongst stock traders to dump gold.
And it's everywhere.
In fact, they brought it up with Horowitz on the last DH Unplugged.
And he confirmed that there is a...
It should be playing on the stream.
He confirmed that this is one of the main kind of memes out there.
It's dump gold, huh?
Dump gold.
Interesting.
Well, and then just to wrap it up.
Just to piss you off, John...
They've done it.
Please go to handsacrosscalifornia.org.
Oh, yeah.
Somebody sent us this.
Well, there's a song contest, and I think you should submit a Hands Across the California Song Contest.
Applications currently being accepted for the official song contest.
I think you should apply.
I should.
And when is this thing being held?
Is it.org?
Yeah, it's.org.
And, uh...
What is this for?
Here it is.
I'm a bunch of people holding hands.
The United Children of Benetton.
One day, one line, stand up and be counted.
Over 1.5 million people.
Over 1,500 miles.
It's Hands Across California.
It will bring Californians statewide together to benefit California's community colleges and their students.
Who benefits?
Who benefits?
Amanda Abbott, a mother who dreams of helping hearing impaired children.
Ira Heinzen, a love of learning that will one day change lives.
Steven, these people look like retards.
Just to be completely politically incorrect.
This Amanda Abbott looks like a hippie chick that lost her joint.
Look at Ira.
Look at Ira.
Nice picture.
I like the composition of that photo.
And how about Stephen?
Ira looks like he's holding himself.
Steven looks like a psycho.
He looks like Jared.
Just call him Jared.
Jared Steven Martin.
Personal struggle leads to an educational epiphany.
East Los Angeles College nursing major and Oshark scholar Steven Martin did not have a typical high school experience after being diagnosed with He had a meningitis of some sort.
I think he had 12.
He had three brains.
Oh, God.
Look, people.
Look, people.
Screw hands across California.
There is only one thing you need to do.
NapForHumanity.com.
Go there.
Get your pillow.
Get your blankets.
And, of course, you want to go to the NoAgendaCarbonCreditCalculator.tk.
Links in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
And there's also an iPhone app coming up, John, which helps you track your Nap for Humanity credits.
You have to definitely go there.
I just want to mention this guy, Martin.
I mean, this is using...
This guy's got actually an interesting story.
He's done very well for himself or someone who had meningitis and all these operations on his brain.
But he...
You know, this is taking...
You find these guys and you put them into this program.
He's not going to be standing around holding their hands with anybody.
He's probably studying.
You find this guy.
He's a pathetic story, you know?
I mean, I feel sorry for the guy.
Yeah.
But it's like, why exploit him?
This is exploitation.
It's just plain and simple.
Who are the sponsors?
Let's see who's sponsoring this event.
Oh, Yahoo.
Okay.
Yahoo.
Southern California Edison.
The Teague Family Foundation.
The Sims Man Family.
Someone had nothing to do.
This is probably women from Berkeley who had nothing better to do.
Housewives from Berkeley.
Oh, let's do Hands Across California.
It's another sad story with her.
They're all sad stories.
Of course.
As far as her young daughter, apparently, is deaf, and this is the issue.
What is the point of taking these, you know, and exploiting each one of these guys?
I'm sure that Ira, with that crazy photo, has got some issue.
Yeah, she lost her joint.
You already said it.
And, uh...
I just don't appreciate that.
I think it's exploitation.
Of course it is.
So instead of holding hands across California, please nap for humanity and remember to support this show because we work very hard on it and it is what we do.
And take a look, by the way, go back to that site and look at the route.
There is no hands across California.
It's a round-trip ticket to San Francisco to L.A. along the lines of the high-speed rail.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Maybe they'll have a train going by.
Toot-toot.
Toot-toot.
And in closing, everybody, remember that the FCC has now announced the emergency alert system will be initiated this year.
That means your cell phone will actually broadcast a message, will receive a message broadcast by El Presidente or Lucy.
Your cell phone, your cable, your radio, your computer, this is how tied in this grid is that we're in.
It's unbelievable.
Everyone's scrambling to comply.
The thing has never, ever been tested.
It's like the president will take to the airwaves and address the nation in a test.
Only a test.
This is a test.
I speak to you from the White House.
It's scary that that's happening.
And that's what it's done for, to scare the slaves.
That would be you.
But, when it happens, we'll be laughing, won't we, John?
I don't know, I always keep my phone turned off.
And that concludes our emergency broadcast from Gitmo Nation West.
We had a lot of information today.
Indeed.
Sorry?
I said indeed.
Yeah, and there's even more, man.
I didn't even get to half of it.
Oh, by the way, that chick at Woody's house?
Bush the Fourth?
Remember?
No.
Yeah, August Bush, the Budweiser kid.
Oh, right, right, right.
She OD'd on Oxycontin.
What?
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's code for heroin.
Because that's what it is.
It's synthetic heroin.
Yeah, that's just, oh yeah, it's a heroine.
I mean, Oxycontin.
Yeah, she's OD'd.
She was hot, too.
That's what the elites are doing, everybody.
Sad story.
Sad state of affairs.
Sad state of affairs.
Have a brew.
Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California, here in the Watchtower Crackpot Command Center, where I'm manning the circuit breaker.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's custard in the air, I'm John C. Dvorak.
