	Nothing like lesbian MILF cops.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, March 10, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 285.
	This is no agenda.
	Swagging the dug from high atop the hilltop watchtower, crackpot command center in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley in the Buzzkill bunker, I'm White Dog John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Johnny Boy.
	It's a little off.
	You are off.
	Timing is a bit much.
	What happened?
	Just a little off, huh?
	After I said John C. Dvorak, I waited for the donut to close.
	No, no, no, no.
	It was right on time.
	That was tight.
	It took you a whole...
	Maybe we have a delay in the Skype again.
	Because when I said I'm Adam Curry, there was like three seconds before you said anything.
	And I know you always jumped the gun.
	Oh, because I stepped on you.
	No, you were three seconds late now.
	I'm saying from my end, I stepped on you.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, shoot.
	Because I always step on Curry.
	When you say I'm Adam Curry, as soon as you hit the hard C, I'm talking.
	Well, then maybe we should reestablish connection because it's going to suck otherwise.
	Yeah, that would be good thinking, because otherwise it's going to be this long cause like I'm on a satellite phone.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	I know what it is.
	It's not actually John's fault.
	It'd be my fault.
	Okay.
	But we won't tell him, okay?
	We won't tell him.
	I'll just say...
	Who is it?
	Hey, much better!
	So, John, you know, I was working a lot during the week, and I got on this really hot trail of, because I was watching C-SPAN, of course, so you don't have to.
	Well, I'm glad.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	We've been doing a lot of that.
	I don't know what the deal is with how you got onto anything, because I was watching C-SPAN all week, too.
	I ended up having to get my clips from Fox and CNN. Let me just say that the hearings I got into were listening to Arnie Duncan go on forever.
	The guy's an idiot.
	I have so many clips.
	Because the first thing I found was the National Press Club Luncheon.
	And this is something that we've paid attention to, particularly when Vivian Schiller, the CEO... Oh, by the way, rest in peace.
	You know, I think this is the biggest blow to no agenda, and I want everyone out there to realize it.
	This is, I think, the biggest blow to this show is the firing of Vivian Schiller...
	Over the past couple days because of the...
	Well, I have some clips on it.
	Well, I'm not into...
	Let me just say, I'm not entirely sure it's because of this video of...
	This is the guy who did the pimp thing with the...
	With Acorn.
	With Acorn.
	It's the same guy.
	So he goes in and he gets this guy, this Rob Schiller.
	No relationship, as you'll see everywhere, which of course I investigated that for at least half an hour.
	Are we sure there's no relationship?
	I want to make sure.
	It's just too much coincidence that he said the Tea Party people are crazy, they're racist, they're gun-toting idiots or whatever.
	I'm not so sure that that's it.
	I think there's a number of other reasons.
	I'm also not so sure that she was actually fired, although it's being spun that way.
	Let me mention a couple of things.
	First of all, I don't know what you...
	Did you hear all the tapes that this guy did?
	He's got another one coming out, by the way.
	Because the thing that I think was important and was interesting because the left-wing media, like CNN, spun it one way.
	But the good stuff was only on Fox, in this case, which was the guy going off, you know, saying NPR stands for National Palestinian Radio, and the saleswoman going, that's a great idea, and then saying the Jews own all the newspapers, and they don't own any of us, they don't own NPR, so don't worry about it.
	And that, I think, was the heavy-duty stuff that was worth getting worked up about, whereas if you listen to CNN, they just kind of pass it off.
	Well, these guys made a tape and they found that the guys criticized the Tea Party for being bigots and racists, which is like the minor...
	Did you hear anywhere on these tapes where they actually said, we'd like to give you a $5 million check?
	Because I've seen all the reporting on it, but I haven't actually seen the tape, because of course it doesn't exist.
	I'm sure that's a lie, and they're making that up saying, oh, but you know, we didn't take the money.
	So, of course, what I had set up makes no sense now because the crazy woman is gone, and I agree, it's a big blow to the show, depending, of course, on who steps in to take her spot.
	And I was looking at the funding and all of it, and so I kind of followed this trail, which is very interesting.
	NPR doesn't actually sell the commercials themselves.
	They sell it through this National Public Media Foundation, which this Ron Schiller guy, he's the head sales guy.
	And when you look at their website, it's like, you know, hey, we're the exclusive guys.
	We sell it all.
	We sell all the spots over here, commercials.
	I mean, underwriting, sponsorship, we got it for you.
	So then I start looking at their financials, as I do.
	And I'm looking at the NPR financials, and indeed, they get between $6 and $10 million a year just from the NPR Media Foundation.
	So it's kind of like a Chinese wall, or i.e.
	an accounting trick.
	They also have an offshore company in Germany.
	NPR Berlin for some reason.
	And money comes in from there as well.
	I know what the reason is.
	Somebody likes Berlin.
	They probably have an apartment.
	Yeah, it's rocking over there.
	We've been trying to get Leo to do it.
	Set a shop in New York.
	It's rocking over there.
	And then I'm like, well, you know what?
	Actually, so then I heard a report.
	I'm not going to play all these clips.
	I have them all set up, and they will be in the podcast feed, which is a new thing at NoAgenaShow.com in the show notes.
	So you can listen to that yourself.
	But I hear this guy coming on shilling about high-speed rail.
	And I'm like, wow, who is this?
	So it's a guy from the RPA, the Regional Planning Association.
	I'm like, who are these jabronis?
	So the Regional Planning Association, they take on the big issues and hit against the big lobbyists, which apparently means sucking HSR off.
	Because they're trying to get high-speed rail in.
	And I'm like, okay, so who's on the board of this not-for-profit outfit?
	This is where it always gets good.
	So it doesn't take much to do this.
	But you go to, I think it's rpa.org, and you say, okay, well, who's on the board?
	Well, let's see.
	The chairman is Elliot G. Sander.
	Group Chief Executive of ACOM USA. Of the Global Transportation Unit.
	Now, that's okay.
	So what does ACOM do?
	John, any idea?
	Probably have something to do with trains.
	They do nothing, but they've got billions of dollars of contracts for high-speed rail.
	So it's like a mouthpiece.
	RPA is a mouthpiece for ACOM, and it's right there.
	I mean, there's a whole bunch of people from ACOM on the board running the regional...
	Yeah, who bothers to look?
	Okay, so...
	By the way, I want to stop right now.
	There's a lot of things that I expected you to go from point A to point B, but this one is really a wild ride.
	Yay!
	How do you go from the NPR to high speed rail?
	Continue.
	So then I'm like, well, I hear this guy from the RPA talking.
	And then I hear another NPR report with a guy from ACOM talking.
	I'm like, wow.
	So I want to know, has ACOM or RPA bought any spots, any corporate sponsorship?
	And by the way, you can't find this on the NPR website.
	There is a page that is not linked from their About Us page.
	And it gives their financial reports.
	It's kind of boring stuff, but it goes all the way through 2010.
	So they're doing their 990s and everything.
	And then there's a list of corporate sponsors.
	And they don't have a list further than 2010.
	What happened to 2009-2010?
	It's not there.
	They haven't published that.
	So now I'm getting irked because, of course, the trail stops dead there.
	I can't find out if ACOM or RPA have purchased any corporate underwriting, sponsorship, or advertising, whatever you want to call it, in Vivian Schiller's own words.
	And so I think there's a huge problem.
	There's got to be a reason for them not publishing that because they've got to be hiding something.
	There's no other reason.
	But then I tie it all together, and I think I have the true reason for Vivian Schiller leaving.
	And this ties into stuff we've talked about in the past.
	So this is like an hour long.
	She gets introduced.
	She talks about the funding.
	She goes into this whole thing saying, well, the 10% we get from the government, it's seed money.
	It's seed money.
	It's an investment.
	You could say, yeah, 10% off the top is like...
	If that went away, then it's just cutting back like everybody has to do.
	We've cut back 30%, most people.
	But for her, no.
	Without that 10%, we can't actually invest in the future.
	It's our seed money.
	I'm like, well, that's half full, half empty.
	But then this little ditty crops up, which blows me away, and I start to really get into the research.
	Well, I grew up in the 60s and early 70s.
	This, of course, is during the question and answer session where it's not rehearsed, although the guy is reading the questions off cards.
	People aren't allowed to ask anymore because last time they did that, that horrible question came up about funding and we've been berating her for it ever since.
	I was in New York.
	So I, frankly, at that time was mostly listening to AM pop music on the radio, quite honestly.
	And then I lived out of the country for many years, and so I came late to NPR because for most of the 80s I was living abroad.
	And, in fact, I can tell you the first time that I really, I'd listened to NPR, but I really honed in on it, is when I first started dating my husband, who is here somewhere, I think.
	There he is.
	So, this is what's interesting.
	So, a couple times during this hour, she talks about living out of the country.
	I was abroad, I was living out of the country.
	Like, that's weird, particularly if you're a progressive left-wing shill.
	I was living in Europe, I was in France, I was working with children in Africa, whatever it is, right?
	She wouldn't just say, I was out of the country.
	Would you agree?
	Yeah, I think so.
	So where was she?
	Do you know?
	No, but I'm absolutely convinced that you're going to tell me.
	She was a tour guide in Russia.
	Oh, really?
	Now, this is exactly like the editor of the New York Times.
	All these guys have been in Russia for years and years and years, and you do Google searches, it all says she was out of the country, she was abroad.
	You finally find, like, yeah, I was in Russia.
	She apparently, and in her own words, written words, she says, yeah, my job was to lie to a fat American tourist.
	That the plane had some kind of problem, whereas it just wasn't scheduled or whatever.
	Her whole job was lying to tourists, she says, in Russia.
	And she was there when it was Russia.
	Russia!
	Not former Soviet Union, no, Russia.
	The reason she had to leave is she was about to be exposed as a Russian spy!
	You think she was a Russian spy or American spy in Russia?
	No, of course not.
	She got her training.
	Just like the guy from the New York Times.
	This is how it works.
	Of course not what?
	You didn't answer the question.
	What do you mean?
	She's working for who?
	For the Russians.
	She's a Russian spy.
	She's a Russian spy working for the Russians?
	Yes, in America.
	This is what espionage is.
	I understand what espionage is.
	It wasn't real.
	It wasn't a real job.
	It was a cover job.
	She was getting trained to indoctrinate and infiltrate our national treasure.
	And it was getting too hot.
	That would explain kind of the left-wing leanings of the national picture.
	Exactly.
	And the same for the New York Times where the editor-in-chief spent years in Russia.
	What were they doing in Russia?
	Come on, John.
	I've been to Russia.
	I was in Russia in 1988.
	What a crap hole.
	And then she comes back and immediately she's like a top producer of TBS for Turner Broadcasting.
	Please.
	Please.
	Please!
	She went from being a tourist guide for Americans in Russia to being a top producer at Turner.
	Hello!
	That's how it works.
	And I think she was about to be exposed because the focus was going to be way too much on her personally and she had to get out.
	Wow.
	We can end the show with that.
	You like it?
	I love it.
	I'm telling you, man.
	Vivian Schiller, Russian spy.
	And that's what it's about.
	That's what it's about.
	Well, how many Russian spies do you think there are in this country?
	Well, I know a little bit about espionage, as you know.
	From my background?
	You're a student of it.
	Go on.
	Yes, of course I'm a student of it.
	But the number one job of all espionage is to infiltrate and indoctrinate the media.
	Because over time, decades of time, it's much more valuable to bestow a thinking pattern upon people And let's face it, that's what NPR does.
	There's no doubt about it.
	I mean, you just can't argue, and the proof is in the pudding with this other Schiller guy.
	And they wouldn't deny it.
	Yeah, not related.
	No relation.
	So, I think that she had to get out because it was getting way too hot under her feet.
	NPR, National Public Russian.
	And I think I can back a lot of this up.
	And you do the Google searches on Vivian Schiller, and it's like, I was abroad.
	I was out of the country.
	I was abroad.
	In the 80s in Russia?
	Hello?
	That was the height of the Cold War.
	What were you doing?
	Oh, there was a lot of tourism to Russia in the 80s.
	Come on.
	Not.
	I mean, yeah.
	I mean, that's stupid.
	I mean, it's a total cover.
	And whenever you're a spy in a different country, you have some kind of...
	You're either with a PR firm or...
	Yeah, doing some bogus job.
	Yeah, bogus job.
	It's a real bogus job.
	And she laughs it off.
	But to say I was out of the country so as not to focus her attention on her being from Russia, just like the editor-in-chief of the New York Times who was in Russia during the same period for many, many years.
	And then she comes back, meets her husband.
	Who knows what he is?
	Yeah, we could start looking into him.
	He's probably another one.
	I mean...
	Or the cover guy.
	Or the cover.
	Or all of this is just to promote.
	It was a pre-setup promotion for Salt 2, the sequel.
	And they're like, ah, this thing is going to be a dog.
	Vivian, forget about it.
	We don't need the promotion.
	We don't need you.
	We need you over here.
	We don't need the promotion.
	Let's see where she crops up.
	I'm telling you.
	Dylan Knowlton.
	Yeah, something like that.
	Who have been very, very busy with the high-speed rail.
	Oh my goodness.
	High-speed rail is a good way to bankrupt the country, so that would be a positive thing for the Russians to do.
	Exactly.
	Aboard, trains good, planes bad.
	Oh, you might as well just get right into it.
	Of course, many of you have already seen the video.
	You know, George Clooney predicted it.
	George Clooney said, what you're going to see is, what was it, Newsweek or whatever.
	We're going to see celebrities, and today's show will be filled with them.
	Celebrities being the ambassadors of goodwill to all men and all things on the planet.
	And, you know, as you're getting it all cranked up, why don't you get the guys from Mad Men to do a cutesy little commercial for high-speed rail?
	Have you seen this, John?
	Tell me you have.
	No, I have not seen this.
	Oh, you're kidding me.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I'm too busy watching C-SPAN. I'm listening to Arnie Duncan talk about what's going to happen in the education system in this country.
	Well, let's get to that in a second.
	Let me play this.
	No, I'm not going to get to it.
	Yeah, you will.
	Yeah, you will.
	We're going to have to go long.
	So this is Vincent Cartizer.
	He was kind of the Weasley dude who I like in the show.
	And then actually a guy I know who was on the Big App show, Rich Sommer.
	He was a really nice guy.
	He's really into technology.
	I think he's a good actor.
	He's just a sweetheart of a guy.
	Well, he got roped into this thing.
	And it's him and both their characters in the setting of Mad Men trying to come up with a commercial for trains in, you know, like 1965.
	But actually, of course, it's a commercial for trains now.
	Parking was murder.
	Forget about that.
	What do you think about trains?
	Trains?
	Trains.
	High-speed trains.
	I've been reading.
	The Japanese are gung-ho about high-speed trains.
	I have no idea what to say to that.
	Picture this.
	A woman.
	Looking at her.
	Controls of a car.
	She's overwhelmed.
	Tired of all the knobs, levers, and gizmos in your car.
	The simplicity of train travel.
	I assume that was your tag?
	Yes.
	Have you ever driven a car?
	They're not that complicated.
	They look complicated.
	Well, they're not.
	I did have one other idea.
	Actually, I don't think this works without the video, so I'm just going to go straight to the tagline.
	So this goes on for like two and a half minutes, which is actually too long to make it work.
	So here's the tag.
	We can't wait another decade to move forward on high-speed rail.
	The future is now.
	Tell your friends, tell your family, but most importantly, if you agree, then tell your senators.
	Find out how and get a bumper sticker to show your support at madfasttrains.com.
	Get a bumper sticker to show your support.
	Get a bumper sticker.
	This is for like, let's go back to the 19th century, ladies and gentlemen.
	19th century technology coming at you.
	Very expensive.
	Only two lines, one in Japan and one in France.
	High-speed rail makes any money.
	They all lose money.
	Big drain on the taxpayers.
	But the crazy thing is, in the United States of Europe, they've actually made the commercial these guys are talking about for Thalys.
	They've made the exact commercial telling you that cars suck, trains are good, and of course they've updated it because it's not like traffic.
	No, the Wi-Fi is great.
	This, by the way, apparently is running everywhere in Europe and you can't get away from it.
	Welcome, welcome, welcome.
	Spend the strangers, the same day.
	Good evening, good evening.
	Leave your troubles outside.
	Good evening.
	Here, the seats are beautiful.
	The Wi-Fi is beautiful.
	Even the meals are beautiful.
	Ah, perfect.
	So they're using a song.
	Why do they have English in there?
	Just so they can catch a few tourists?
	Yeah, no, it's for everybody.
	You know, it's the whole song, Willkommen, Bienvenue, Good Evening.
	That's a multi-language song.
	That's why they had a meeting, a long series of meetings about this.
	What song can we get?
	What can we license?
	Who can we make rich by doing this?
	And now, Leslie and Thalys, bringing you yesterday's technology tomorrow.
	It's despicable.
	It's absolutely despicable.
	By the way, the Mad Men spot is brought to you by PIRG. Another outfit we've got to keep our eyes on.
	These guys just want to steal our money.
	You know, this is not the time in the economy with the economic downturn to be stealing our money with high-speed wealth scams.
	Well, they're saying exactly the opposite.
	By the way, USPIRG, standing up to powerful interests.
	Oh, it's USPIRG. Oh, that's interesting.
	USPIRG. Okay, PIRG. Well, there's a group called CalPIRG, which is related to these folks.
	PIRG. Perg.
	Perg.
	That's what they call themselves, Calperg.
	Calperg.
	This is U.S. Perg.
	And these are the assholes, and I don't cuss much on this show.
	No, you don't, John.
	That pushed through the so-called bottle bill in California and still brag about it to this day.
	So every time you buy a can of soda or a bottle of soda, you pay an extra five cents, which is essentially a tax, on top of it to recycle this bottle, which you never recycle, by the way.
	You end up throwing it into the recycling bin in your local garbage company, and they recycle it, and they get whatever they get out of it.
	This is...
	Before the bottle bill was ever passed, I was working for the government at the time, and most bottles were already being recycled by most systems.
	And in fact, if you went to a glass company factory, and I had inspected a number of them, there were unbelievable piles and piles of bottles that were going back into the glass company to be recycled into making new glassware, generally brown bottles, because they mixed up a lot of the colors.
	They couldn't keep them all white.
	Whatever the case was, it was a complete rip-off of the public.
	But the public, oh, we've got to recycle.
	We've got to get the bottles out of it.
	Oh, there's bottles all over.
	Bums are picking them up, by the way, which is another way that recycling works.
	Naturally.
	So we are paying, if you go to the store and you buy a bottle of water, you pay an extra nickel, a dime, whatever it is, it could be a lot of different, it varies, for every bottle because of these guys.
	Yeah.
	And nobody has said anything about it, about, you know, saying, well, why are we doing this?
	Why are we paying this extra tax for every bottle of water that we buy or every bottle of Coke?
	And nobody questions it.
	Oh, well, you know, it's just for the good of the environment.
	It's for recycling.
	Bullcrap.
	But what's funny is their whole idea is we're standing up to powerful interests.
	And then you look at their websites like, well, we need to have healthcare work.
	We need high-speed rail.
	They're totally on board with the whole program.
	They don't stand up for anybody.
	And of course, once again, I'm like, let's go look at the financials.
	And they talk a lot about featured giving opportunities.
	John, we're not using the right language.
	Featured giving opportunities?
	Featured giving opportunities and planned giving.
	And what was the other one?
	Planned giving.
	Oh yeah, well we have planned giving kind of.
	Yeah, but of course if you want the actual financial report you have to write a letter.
	You have to write a letter to them.
	Oh, it's crazy.
	It's just crazy.
	They're a 501c3 organization, conducts research and public education on emerging public interest issues.
	We're taking on the big corporate lobbyists.
	No, you're not.
	21st century transit on track.
	American high-speed rail is ready to leave this station.
	What lobbyists are against high-speed rail?
	No, they're all hired.
	They love it.
	Exactly.
	No one's against it.
	Chemical facilities must be safer.
	It's crazy, and we're being inundated, and you can't get the information.
	The transparency is no longer there.
	We're just not showing it.
	I had a doozy, by the way.
	So on March 7th, I didn't see this until the 8th, President Obama signed an executive order.
	John, an executive order.
	And the executive order, maybe you've, amongst all the Charlie Sheen news, and the Libya wag the dug, maybe you heard about this.
	President Obama released an executive order March 7, 2011.
	Periodic review of individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station pursuant to the authorization for use of military force and indefinite detention.
	I heard this.
	Okay.
	Now, here's the funny thing.
	So, I'm looking at...
	Did you hear what I just said?
	Let me read it again to you.
	This is from whitehouse.gov.
	Periodic review of individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station pursuant to the authorization for use of military force.
	Pursuant.
	No, no.
	It says pursuant.
	It says pursuant?
	Pursuant!
	And I'm like, what?
	So I go to the dictionary, I'm like, pursuant?
	Is this a word that I don't understand?
	And of course, it's not.
	It should be pursuant.
	And I'm thinking, and there's not even any margin for error.
	I'm thinking, if these guys can't run an executive order through a spell checker, how...
	You know it was going through a spell checker, they just ignored the little underline.
	How can we presume that they actually checked it for constitutionality?
	It's a stretch, but it's amusing.
	And so I bitched about this.
	I tweeted about it.
	Ten hours later, they change it.
	So, hey, someone's listening.
	They change it to pursuant.
	But, of course, on the index page, it's still pursuant.
	I took a screenshot of it.
	I just thought it was too funny.
	An executive order that they didn't spell check.
	I'm waiting for it to show up in the federal register incorrectly.
	Because then, of course, it's, you know, it can't be, it's invalid because pursuant is not a word.
	But it's like, and this thing is crazy.
	Indefinite detention without trial.
	John, we're screwed.
	That's it.
	It's over.
	Good night.
	Go home.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold on a sec.
	This makes no sense.
	This goes completely against everything Obama promised us.
	Well, well, well.
	It's funny you bring that up.
	Because I'm stalling.
	I have...
	I can tell.
	Are you looking something up at your machine?
	What machine are you operating that's taking forever?
	It's my eyes.
	It's my old eyes.
	No, I'm looking for the clip of where...
	Here it is.
	BBC clip.
	They actually did a better job than I could have.
	Within days of taking office, President Obama promised to close Guantanamo, and with it, an unedifying chapter in American history.
	And we then provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.
	That was two years ago.
	And now!
	But more than two years later, there are still around 170 detainees held without trial.
	This is the thing that kills me.
	This whole thing is about 170 dudes, and what's happening now, including the New York Times, the spineless, ball-less New York Times are saying, well, the president had no choice because, you know, Congress won't allow trials in the United States, so it's Congress' fault.
	A Republican Congress, by the way.
	Which is just unbelievable.
	What happened?
	Wait a minute.
	Congress just got in.
	It was supposed to take care of this within a year.
	It's the spineless Congress.
	It's Congress.
	Within a year, Congress was Democrat until just a month ago.
	This is the New York Times opinion page.
	The editorials.
	This comes, I guess, from that Russian guy.
	Uh...
	And on Monday, that promise crumbled.
	The victim of congressional spinelessness and President Obama's inability to create political support for a way out of the moral quagmire created by his predecessor.
	Please!
	Please!
	The New York Times is run by the Russians.
	NPR is run by the Russians.
	And Charlie Sheen's show is getting better.
	That's all I know.
	It's getting better.
	But I'm flabbergasted.
	I'm just flabbergasted.
	Well, you're not talking about the Russians.
	We might as well.
	Well, actually, we only have a couple of executive producers, unfortunately, so let's get to them, and then we'll talk about the Russians.
	All right.
	Namely, their reports of what's going on in Iraq.
	Oh, yes.
	I have that, too.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	You mean Libya?
	I'm sorry.
	Yes.
	Iraq, Libya.
	It's all wag the dug.
	Whatever you want to call it.
	Wag the dug.
	All right.
	We've got one executive producer, one associate executive producer for this week's show.
	James Pierce from Copperas Cove.
	Or Copperas Cove.
	Copperas, I guess.
	Texas.
	Thanks for the priceless information and entertainment you provide every week.
	The most horrible parts of my week are when your show ends.
	And I have to find something else to listen to.
	Ugh, the agony.
	Anyway.
	There's always national treasure.
	It's comedy.
	I've sold my wedding band.
	I'm passing the money on to you.
	Oh, no!
	Now I'm still a little slave, but just more free.
	Can you please slap some karma in my brother's face?
	He's recently laid off and needs a new job, James Pierce.
	You've got karma.
	And now we've got our one lone poor lone member of the fabulous 285 Club and associate executive producer Jan Persiel from Hamburg, Deutschland.
	Dear John and Adam, a fortnight ago I registered Psycho4Cash.com, which redirects the No Agenda donation page.
	Well, I guess it's best...
	test to actually visit it right since it is a my birthday on the 10th of march i am currently in india teaching journalists how to create podcasts and real news and use challenge coins What am I good?
	What is this coin you have?
	Wouldn't it be funny if NPR started issuing challenge coins?
	It should.
	I feel like giving value for value.
	Yeah, really.
	I felt it is time to be a 285 club member, and E, I need some karma for my search for a new office.
	By the way, donating from India is actually hard to do.
	PayPal locked down my account immediately when I logged in from India.
	Oh, yeah.
	Gee.
	Let me give him some karma first.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	He says he's looking forward to being back in Hamburg in two weeks.
	Keep up the good work, Jan Persiel.
	Pronounce for your help, John, Jan Persiel.
	Hey, it looks like he had another donation on the list, though.
	He has 111, two slots down.
	Oh, I see that.
	Okay, we'll make him an executive producer then.
	Totally.
	And I have a late entry to the 285 Club.
	I don't know why it's not on the list.
	But it looks valid.
	From Nick Ball.
	John Adam, here's my donation for the 285 Club.
	If you could please mention my non-ad supported podcast, The Gadget Gurus, and call out my two co-hosts, Mike and Vic, as douchebags.
	Douchebags!
	I've got to do another one for him.
	Yeah, I saw that come through too, but it never showed up on the spreadsheet.
	Well, I'd hate for him to have done it and it not be true if we will take appropriate measures.
	Yeah, tell him.
	He should also go look at his account and make sure that they posted it correctly.
	Wait a minute.
	The shill says he donated $2.85.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	What a trick!
	I got tricked.
	I got tricked.
	My fault.
	Well, I don't like that.
	Well, you don't know that.
	No, no.
	I'm seeing the shill just ping me on that.
	Yeah, I know.
	I realize that.
	But it's possible that he put in the wrong amount.
	We'll find out.
	That's possible.
	That's totally possible.
	And, of course, we give people the benefit of the doubt here.
	Without a doubt.
	So that's our executive producers for this show, Dan Prasile and James Pierce.
	Thanks, guys.
	Dvorak.org slash NA Just a quick number of PR mentions, some domain name forwards.
	There's so many of them.
	Any good ones?
	Yeah, there's a couple of them.
	I liked AsiaRenewableEnergy.com.
	Ooh.
	SolarWorkGroup.com.
	That's good.
	Kyle registered Davorac.org.
	That was a good idea.
	Yeah, which I think you should have.
	Davorac.org slash NA work.
	I'm sure it will.
	But that seems pretty important.
	Yeah.
	I heard the other day, I'm not sure, I think it was Shana or maybe Citizen X. No, Citizen X registered devorehacked.org.
	Devorehacked.
	I like that.
	We've got notinmynews.com, which I like.
	Technorednecks.com, a throwback to our techno experts.
	Bearfight.com, and then I think something that Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will be very jealous of.
	JustSendUsYourCash.com.
	Yeah, I saw that one.
	That was pretty funny.
	I think that's a very, very good one.
	So we appreciate the work that you PR associates are doing.
	All of that, of course, listed in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	And muchas gracias to Jan Parcil.
	And I'll just add Nick Ball to that.
	And James Pierce is our executive producer of episode 285.
	Of course, if you're in the 285 club like Jan is, then it's closed.
	That's it.
	You can't get in anymore.
	The next club that we'll be opening up as of now is the 286 Club.
	Everyone else Welcome to my show!
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Word.
	Order.
	Stay with me, lot and proud, everybody.
	Shut up, slave.com.
	Before we continue, I would like to at least do a teaser.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Coming up on the No Agenda Show.
	It's a clip that says teaser.
	Oh.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	Hold on a second.
	Got it.
	Okay, let's try it again.
	Let's try this.
	Celebrity Meltdown Showdown.
	Lesbians mad at Justin Bieber?
	The unbelievable new reason today why some lesbians are upset with the Biebs?
	And the question that the best scientists in the world have not been able to answer, why are the Kardashians famous?
	That's right, everybody.
	We've got the Biebs.
	Upset at the Biebs on the next No Agenda show.
	Wow, John, I'm riveted.
	A little short on producers this week, so we're going to the Justin Bieber well.
	Yeah, when the Biebs are angry at the Biebs, that's the show title right there.
	Biebs angry at the Biebs.
	I'm just saying.
	They have some term for themselves.
	Yeah, clam bumpers.
	Now, we were going toward what?
	What was the topic?
	My topic is, while we're just on the donation front here...
	Help us out.
	We need all the help we can get.
	I tell you, I think we should try it.
	I think we should do a third show on Tuesday.
	There is enough news happening, John.
	With this NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com, there is enough news.
	I've got like 50 stories, and they're all brilliant, and I've got audio clips and everything.
	This thing is on fire.
	We can do this, but people would have to...
	Double the giving level, because essentially I'm quitting everything else then.
	And you'd have to quit some stuff too.
	But we can, I mean, if the giving levels are there, why wouldn't we try it?
	Well, but how do we know if we don't try it?
	Maybe we try it.
	And we give them like, you know, four weeks.
	And if it's not there, we go back.
	Well, then we're backtracking.
	Yeah, but we're in irons.
	Well, if you've got all these stories, let's do one.
	Okay.
	I got tons of stories.
	Like what?
	All right.
	Why don't we just get on the wag the dog?
	Wag the dog trail.
	Okay, let's do the...
	Okay, so Russia Today had a...
	Which, of course, is now...
	By the way, there's a couple of interesting things going on.
	I think the Russian Today little episode that was passed around, it will be on the show notes, kind of exposed what we've also been seeing from certain Russian bloggers and other news sources.
	I have the audio if you're interested.
	Yes.
	Yeah, why don't you play it and see how long it takes.
	Hold on a second.
	It was...
	What was it called again?
	It was Russia Today, right?
	Yeah, it was Russia Today, but it was a report on...
	Yeah, media blamed for Libya unrest.
	Yeah.
	And I have a couple other clips to back it up, but it was on Russia Today, and I've clipped the intro off for obvious purposes.
	The allure of a war.
	Incomprehensible as it sounds, it's present in any conflict.
	Just days ago these parents feared for their children's lives.
	Today they are taking their pictures in front of the tanks.
	The desire to be captured laughing in the face of danger is even stronger among journalists.
	And the conflict in Libya is providing a perfect setting for it.
	On TV screens Benghazi may look like the center of the rebel resistance, The country is waking to another day of chaos.
	Gaddafi may have lost about half of his country.
	They watched these bombs fall from the skies.
	But in reality, it's more like a seaside resort than a conflict zone.
	Hotels are fully booked with journalists and residents.
	It's a junket, I tell you.
	Everyone's like, hey dudes, party in Libya!
	Tripoli, here we come!
	We're on the beach.
	And you see the pictures that go along with this report.
	It's beautiful.
	It's just beautiful.
	People like hanging out, drinking tea, swimming, good times.
	And then they go and they form a little group and take a film and make it sound like something's going on.
	But the thing that fascinated me the most, and I noticed that you noticed it, which is that she caught the Al Jazeera crew.
	Right, on a balcony.
	Right.
	On a balcony with their cameras exhorting a crowd so they can get some good shots of people shaking their fist.
	And of course, if anyone else hasn't noticed, most of the signage is in English.
	And many of the spokespeople that come in talking all speak reasonably good English.
	And the first thing that came to mind when I saw the Al Jazeera crew doing this was Hillary Clinton.
	Why does Hillary Clinton, out of the blue, when Al Jazeera first formed, it was a huge insult to the Jewish community and everybody in between, and then if they were like you assume, which they were taken over by MI6, and then became like a spokeshole for God knows what, but the British are really into taking over Libya.
	So they're in their exhort, trying to make it look like something's going on, and Hillary comes out and says that the best news source is...
	Is Al Jazeera...
	And Russia Today, which is, this is like a double whammy, this report.
	And Russia Today...
	It's right in the beginning.
	This is such bullcrap, and the fact is our news...
	Because our people can't be trusted to hold out with this bullcrap.
	In other words, even, you know, even...
	I mean, even CNN, which I do have a clip...
	Which I want to play.
	It's Anderson Cooper going on and on, but every time he shows something now, he couches everything with, we don't know if this is real, we don't know if this is legit, we don't know if this is taken yesterday, we don't know this, we don't know that.
	Yet Anderson Cooper, his intros are always, crazy Libby leader Gaddafi lies again!
	That's the news guy, Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper.
	Elitist prick.
	Do you want me to play the CNN on Iraq?
	Why did you say Iraq?
	I don't know.
	I keep saying, I keep mixing Iraq.
	This is funny, isn't it?
	It's, well, it's...
	It's a Freudian slip.
	Freudian slip, of course, because it's exactly the same game.
	Opposition forces say the town of Misrata, east of Tripoli, remains under their control tonight.
	The streets, they say, are calm for now, but fighting in Misrata has been fierce in recent days.
	I love the soundtrack.
	Alright, up with the gunfire!
	Gunfire!
	Gunfire!
	I need to hear gunfire!
	We need gunfire behind our podcast.
	Oh, yeah, we do.
	Could someone please drop a gunfire for me in the Dropbox, in the open source.
	And by the way, another thing I want to point out, which just came to mind, is if you haven't noticed, when they show all these clips of these rebels out in the middle of nowhere with this crazy anti-aircraft thing hooked to a Jeep.
	Yeah, I love that.
	We've all seen this.
	It rocks.
	And this thing is like pumping rockets into the air.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	There's no planes around.
	They're just It's even better.
	Hold on.
	I've got to take you to this clip.
	So, we've got the BBC. Of course, the BBC is definitely compromised by British intelligence.
	We know that.
	So, the BBC, they've got this dude, and the video just doesn't correspond with what he's saying.
	So, he's like, we're under attack, and he doesn't have a helmet on.
	They're in the car.
	Keep your head down.
	He doesn't have a helmet on, because, of course, that would mess up his hair.
	Check this out.
	At dawn this morning, it was immediately clear that the rebels' enthusiasm and fighting spirit was fading.
	It's carried them 150 miles westwards along the coast, beating Colonel Gaddafi's troops back all the way.
	But now their supply lines are stretched, and Colonel Gaddafi's troops are starting to fight on more friendly territory.
	Yesterday we went with the rebels to the next town, Benjawad, which they attacked fiercely.
	The defenders had better weapons.
	And this morning when we went up to Benjawad, we found that the rebels had faded away during the night.
	From a distance, we saw a checkpoint, which we eventually decided was probably manned by Gaddafi.
	So they're standing, like, a hundred yards away.
	I mean, it's just like...
	You see a couple of Toyotas there.
	A checkpoint.
	That looks like Libyan guards.
	Loyalists.
	It was.
	A couple of soldiers opened fire in our direction.
	Cue fire.
	Just keep your head down.
	Keep your head down.
	And he doesn't have a helmet on.
	I've been to a war zone.
	You are obliged to wear a helmet.
	We drove back hastily.
	It's insurance purposes alone.
	...down the road to the important oil town captured by the rebels on Friday night.
	But today, far fewer of them were making a stand here.
	Now, check this out.
	You hear that, John?
	It's great.
	And so, John, we're here in the war zone, John, and it's really bad.
	I need better gunfire, guys.
	That's only like one.
	I need better.
	This is not good enough.
	He's a machine gun.
	Yeah, this is not good.
	This is not a...
	Yeah, so John, we're in the war zone here on the No Agenda show.
	Anyway, so what happens is, now we have to get the no-fly zone thing in, so we're going to insert a shot of a jet flying by.
	Listen, it's crazy.
	Just listen to this.
	It's been quite a success for Colonel Gaddafi's army.
	So they insert a shot of a jet flying by.
	And then check this out.
	So this is a different shot.
	They've overlapped the sound, so you see the dude's just shooting into the air at nothing, right?
	This shot was like Steven Spielberg.
	It was like Top Gun.
	They took a clip from that.
	So they have the jet flying, they've got the guy shooting, and then he's circled round.
	Ooh, sorry, we don't have any video of that.
	The bomb landed away from the...
	Oh, we don't have any video of the bomb!
	...positions.
	The weather the pilot missed on purpose wasn't clear.
	So they don't actually have video of it.
	It was so far away.
	But then there's something interesting, and I would like our producers, Noah General listeners, of course, our producers, to check this out.
	In this video, where they're running away from, like, you know, I don't know, the producer saying, okay, run, cue, there's a guy whose head is blocked out.
	There's a guy running in this little group of journalists and his head is wiped out.
	Oh, the CIA guy.
	Must be someone of some import.
	Yeah.
	And they've literally blocked it out.
	I'm like, wow, that's weird.
	You mean to have war footage and then block that guy out?
	Yeah, block a head out.
	And not mention it.
	And not mention it.
	Not say, like, you know, that was our translator or something like that.
	That, to me, was like, wow, you know, highly suspicious.
	Yeah.
	More gunshots, people.
	We need more gunshots.
	We don't have any...
	John and I need to do this show with gunshots so we can be hip like Anderson.
	Oh, John, it's really bad here.
	How is it where you are?
	I guess it cleared up.
	I'm near the Rebels, John.
	It's getting really bad.
	You should loop that.
	Let's go back to the Anderson Cooper clip where he starts doing these disclaimers.
	They're also showing hospital shots, and it's a loop of about three shots.
	They keep bringing the same guys in.
	It's like, here comes another one.
	It's the same guy.
	Bloody clashes over the weekend left dozens dead, dozens wounded, according to a doctor at Central...
	Dozens according to...
	...Miserada Hospital.
	He said a three-year-old child was among those killed.
	Save the children!
	I want to warn you, this next video is disturbing.
	The voice narrating it says, these are the people who tried to attack the city of Miserada on March 6th.
	Yeah, I watched that video.
	Was it disturbing to you?
	No, not in the least.
	It wasn't disturbing at all.
	It was the voiceover that's disturbing.
	That was on Sunday.
	CNN cannot independently confirm where or when that video was shot nor who those people are.
	They are wearing uniforms.
	Likewise, we can't confirm witness reports in Ms.
	Rada because we don't have reporters there.
	Earlier, I talked to a young woman in Ms.
	Rada about what she has seen and what she's bracing for.
	Stop there.
	Stop, stop.
	So, okay, they can't confirm anything.
	We don't have reporters, even though Al Jazeera does.
	And let me just say, if you've ever been to a television taping, like of, I don't know, two and a half men, what you'll see is, you'll see the producer, usually with the script in hand, and he'll be like whooping up the crowd, you know, like raising his arms up, raising his arms up, yay, yay, yay!
	So people get all crazy and they're all like, yay, this is fantastic!
	It's exactly what this guy was doing.
	It was just unbelievable.
	John, it's really, really horrible here, and I don't know what we're going to do in the war zone.
	I understand you're being invaded by aliens there in Los Angeles.
	Yes, it's really bad, John.
	It's really bad.
	Oh, no!
	We've got jets coming in, John!
	What am I going to do?
	Oh, it sounds like...
	Oh, John, yes!
	Well, they say that there's lots of rebels around here, and I think they're right.
	I'm glad you got that nice hairdo.
	So anyway, so now Anderson Cooper brings on some woman who sounds like she's a girl from the San Fernando Valley.
	What, is it in the same clip?
	Yeah.
	So it says she has a contact in Zawia and talked about that.
	For her safety, we're not identifying her.
	I understand you know somebody who just got out of Zawia.
	What did they say?
	They were just telling us how bad the situation is with Zalia.
	He had to leave Zalia, 30 kilometers out of Zalia, just so he could get cell phone reception.
	He told us that everything's been cut off.
	All the sources of communication, both telephone services, both cell phones, their electricity's been cut off.
	They're shooting from tanks, from guns, essentially everything.
	The situation is so unsafe.
	They're breaking into houses.
	They're not leaving.
	Even children are getting killed.
	They need to get some better sound effects.
	This is what it should be sounding like in the background.
	You know, that's...
	A rail gun.
	Yeah, I mean, Anderson's got shitty sound effects.
	I mean, ours are much, much better.
	Like, they're not...
	The thing is, they're not leaving anybody out.
	You know what I mean?
	They're, like, shooting aimlessly at people.
	Anyone who tries to step out...
	I have a friend whose uncle passed away the day before yesterday, and we couldn't even get out to bury him because of how unsafe the situation is.
	What is the situation where you are in Misrata?
	As of today, it's pretty calm, but it's really unpredictable.
	Like, we can't even sleep at night because every time we hear a sound, it's like, automatically we think it's like a helicopter or we think it's firing.
	So it's really, really, really stressful.
	Really, really, really, really stressful.
	That sounds like Los Angeles.
	I got helicopters, I got Chinooks going over all the time.
	It's like, John, you know what, it's getting really, really kind of stressful here.
	It's stressful.
	Stressful, I tell you.
	Alright.
	Oh.
	I love that soundboard.
	It's like I think that somebody botched this whole operation because I don't know what they were hoping Gaddafi was going to leave like his kids scramble off to Argentina.
	Well, I disagree.
	I think it is much bigger.
	It's a very ambitious plan.
	And, of course, the idea is to go from North Africa all the way down to South Africa so that, you know, we've got a clear shot.
	We can put a train in there to get to the soccer match.
	We've got Egypt.
	We've got Libya.
	Right underneath that, we've got Sudan.
	George Clooney keeping watch.
	Then, underneath all of that, we've got the Congo, John.
	Right, and it has its Hollywood representative.
	Oh yes, and who would that be?
	Ben Affleck!
	In this time of heightened concern over federal spending, some suggest that austerity demands return a blind eye to the crisis in Congo.
	What's the crisis in Congo, John?
	What is going on there?
	I don't know.
	What?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I think I'm reporting here from the Congo, John, and things are really, really bad.
	Ben Affleck is here to save the day.
	I believe nothing could be more misguided.
	It would simply be Pennywise and Pound Foolish to allow Congo to...
	Pennywise and Pound...
	And the dudes behind him, his handlers, if you watch his video, and this is a congressional hearing, And they're shaking their head like, yeah, good boy.
	Good boy, Ben.
	Yeah, Ben.
	And he's reading the whole thing.
	He's great.
	I mean, the guy knows how to do it.
	He delivers.
	Of course, he's an actor.
	Yeah, Ben.
	He's a good one.
	You deliver, Ben.
	That's great, Ben.
	His buddy, what's his name?
	Who's the other one?
	Who's also getting involved in all these things?
	Yeah, the other dude.
	The other guy.
	Yeah, Matt.
	What's his name?
	We got Matt Damon.
	Matt Damon.
	He's the one.
	And Ben Affleck.
	Matt Damon is all over the place.
	Matt Affleck and Ben Damon.
	Yeah.
	They haven't given him a permanent assignment yet.
	No, he's getting one.
	He's like, all right, boy, listen, here's your assignment.
	Did I have an assignment?
	You know, everybody else has got an assignment.
	Yeah.
	You know, Ben's got one, and George's got one.
	Boy, listen up.
	Here's your assignment.
	And by the way, there was some mention, I think Affleck, or not Affleck, but...
	Geez, I can't remember his name from one second to the next.
	Ted.
	No, that's already...
	We are now...
	No, it's Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
	So Matt Damon is on the Piers Morgan show.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Oh, my God.
	And he's like, you know, apparently he's tight with Clooney, too.
	Duh!
	These guys all hang.
	Weren't they all in Oceans 11, 12, and 13?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah.
	So there was...
	It was actually quite interesting.
	Let me see if I can find this.
	Yeah, it's under the Wag the Dog...
	So, one of the ministers of parliament in the United States of Europe, I'm sorry, EU commissioner, went off message.
	And I wish I had some video or audio of this.
	EU observer says this.
	Speaking to press at an event organized by the Malta Business Bureau.
	Malta, by the way, groovy hangout.
	On March 5th, Friday, the EU Health Commissioner, who has a long history of business links with Libya, said, quote, he didn't think he had the right or anyone else to make a statement on whether Gaddafi should step down.
	He said, I think Gaddafi should make his own decisions.
	He has the assessment of the people, and he has said on TV, as he has said on TV, and here it comes, I think Gaddafi has made the first attempt towards conciliation.
	And then...
	I'm looking for this.
	I should have highlighted this.
	I want the exact quote.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm bony.
	Paraphrasing.
	It's a long article.
	Paraphrasing.
	He says, what is being shown on television is not the true situation.
	Duh!
	He didn't figure that much out.
	But he totally went off message, of course, to save his own skin, his own ass, his own money, or whatever he's got riding on this.
	And by saying that, it's like, wow.
	So there's a little factoid that floated through the ether that I think was picked up on CNN and kind of bounced around.
	Nobody paid much attention to it.
	But I did, which was the comment was, Gaddafi, this I guess took place a few days ago, Gaddafi said that he would leave, he'd quit, if they just let him out of the country intact with his money.
	And supposedly whoever's representing the rebels, I don't know that they have a representative, they said no.
	No, you can't do that.
	No, that's not in the script.
	Did you see Petraeus welcome gates on the runway in Libya there?
	No.
	Check this out.
	It's going to be hard to understand, I think, but maybe I can process it a bit.
	Here we go.
	You've got to listen to this.
	Nah, you can't hear it.
	So they don't know that they're being taped.
	You've got to see the video because it's subtitled.
	And so Gates gets off the plane.
	Petraeus says, hey, a much bigger plane than usual.
	What are you doing?
	Going to bomb Libya?
	And Gates says, yeah, that's right.
	Hilarious.
	Well, that's kind of a funny bit that took place.
	I have this Rumsfeld who's been going around saying that Karzai is the world's greatest guy and he's not corrupt.
	Yeah, good old Ted.
	He was on O'Reilly on Wednesday.
	I think he's been on a couple of times.
	He was on Piers Morgan!
	Right, saying the same thing.
	Yeah, I mean, so all this money's good.
	Rumsfeld, Ted Rumsfeld, all he wants is he just wants a big blowjob.
	Can someone just blow the guy already and get it over with?
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, the money's going to charity.
	He'll go on anything.
	He'll be on, like, Cribs next.
	Yeah, it's my sauna.
	It's where I work out.
	I'm hanging here.
	I'm Ted.
	I'm Ted.
	Yo, to the shizzle, Rumsfeld.
	So play this clip because I think it's funny because he won't even acknowledge that Obama's president.
	Afghanistan?
	Obama doing the right thing?
	I have a lot of confidence in Petraeus.
	Yeah, I think he's a sensible man and a fine general officer.
	The reality is that country's going to have to nation-build itself.
	We can't nation-build another country.
	Give me odds of that happening.
	Everybody says the Afghan's just not going to do that.
	It's too corrupt, too backward.
	Oh, I hear that corrupt baloney.
	Listen, is there a...
	We already played this!
	We already played this baloney clip.
	There must have been a rerun.
	But anyway, I think he just says the same thing over and over.
	Whatever the case is, I just got the biggest kick out of him saying, I think Obama's doing a good job.
	I think Petraeus is doing a good job.
	He won't even say Obama.
	I saw a couple of things I saw.
	One was, and I don't think I have a clip of this, but when Ted Rumsfeld was on Pierce Morgan, he said, you know, Colin Powell should go in.
	Colin Powell should go in and talk to...
	I'm like, wow, there you go.
	Let's get the guy up.
	He's got one foot in the ground.
	How old is he?
	I don't know.
	Colin Powell needs to go in.
	That's the guy that can do it.
	And then Bill Richardson.
	Now, this was interesting because I watched this on the wrong television, of course, while I was having lunch, my sandwich, and he was on CNN. I think I saw this.
	He was with Wolf Blitzer.
	And, of course, these guys like Buddy Buddy, you know, oh, we've been to North Korea together.
	I guess they can go to North Korea.
	Ling Ling has to get rescued by Clinton.
	But apparently it's okay for Wolf Blitzer.
	Bill Richardson, former governor of, what was he?
	Arkansas?
	New Mexico.
	I think it was New Mexico.
	He was also the Secretary of Energy during the Bill Clinton days.
	And he said something on this show.
	He said, you know, I think we should arm the rebels covertly.
	I'm like, wow, that's just coming out and saying it.
	Yeah, I think, which of course we're already doing.
	He's not the first guy that said that.
	There's a bunch of guys that said that.
	I know, but here's what's interesting.
	So I go back and I look at the interview, and the CNN website only has a little snippet, which is an irrelevant snippet, like Gaddafi should give up or whatever.
	And then they have a transcript of the entire interview, and that part is cut out.
	They don't actually have...
	I think he...
	Someone said, you know, hey, we've got to stop with the covert arms because that's what we're doing.
	You've got to stop doing that.
	But I was able to find a clip of him saying this on one of the Sunday shows on CNN. And he goes a little bit further.
	Meme after meme.
	Has the U.S. handled this?
	Has the president handled this in a way that has made things more difficult now that it looks like Muammar Gaddafi has some staying power?
	He's on the Viagras.
	Well, I believe the president has handled his crisis well.
	His statement two days ago that Gaddafi must go lays a cornerstone for a policy.
	What I think the U.S. needs to do...
	Now, listen carefully.
	If you listen to him in a different context, he's speaking the truth.
	So, cornerstone for policy...
	Is, one, covertly arm the rebels.
	There we go.
	Let's covertly arm the rebels, which we're already doing, because the rebels are, of course, Al-Qaeda, which are financed by the CIA or God knows who these days.
	We should take that step.
	Develop a no-fly zone.
	I think that is going to be needed.
	Maybe we get the Brits and the French.
	This is exactly what we're going to do.
	The Brits and the French, who, of course, they have all the oil interests in Libya, so we've got to get, and they're already drawing up the draft.
	And the Italians and the Arab leaguers.
	And the Italians, they don't want the Libyans flooding their country, and the Arab League, you know, screw them.
	Some kind of no-fly zone is going to be necessary, mainly to send a message to Libya's military and Qaddafi that the U.S. and...
	Is going to kick your ass!
	...the international community is not with them.
	Protect those refugees.
	Find ways to help those refugees.
	The refugees, these are all people, they're immigrants...
	Who are working shit jobs, you know, like dangerous jobs in the oil fields.
	And they're like, oh, let's get the hell out of Dodge!
	They're not Libyans, these refugees.
	Yeah, and they're ending up on some island off the Italian coast.
	Yeah, the Ellis Island of Italy.
	Throw them on there, slave island.
	Get out of Libya.
	Find ways, too, that we can develop in Libya what is called a civil society.
	Yeah, which is called an oil-based society.
	That's what he meant.
	Code word for civil.
	Respect for human rights.
	Ooh!
	Democratic institutions.
	Oh, like BP. Start now.
	I like that idea of Steve Hadley's of establishing a trust.
	Yeah, a trust.
	A big oil trust.
	A financial trust.
	Oil trust.
	That develops those democratic reforms in Libya.
	Yeah, so that we can divvy up the oil feeds like Iraq.
	Get in there early.
	But again, there's huge...
	Get in early before the Russians and the Chinese come back.
	...huge opportunities for American foreign policy in the Middle East.
	Yeah, the oil policy.
	To be associated with democratic institutions, with those protesters...
	Yeah, like Exxon.
	...that want democracy and civil rights.
	Okay, I think we got the point.
	How come Anderson Cooper, who went to Egypt, didn't go to Tripoli?
	There were no hotel rooms.
	He needed a suite, and that bitch from CNN, what's her name?
	Christiana Alpour.
	There were no CNN people there, according to him.
	Well, there's no suites available.
	Anderson won't go if there's not a suite, you see.
	That could be.
	Yeah.
	And he wanted his own beach chair and everything.
	So anyway, I guess we need to wrap this up.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this is classic Wag the Doug.
	It is a big joke.
	Big, big joke.
	And I guarantee you, it's Sudan and then the Congo, because we've already got our celebrities all lined up and ready to do it.
	We've got Usher.
	Usher is now, of course, Mariah Carey, but now Usher is saying, oh, hey man, I'm going to give the money that I made from, you know, performing for the Libya from Gaddafi, I'm going to give it to human rights organizations.
	So we've got a huge...
	I think this is the bottom line, John.
	Of course, it's obvious what's going on is we want that oil and we want the Sudanese oil.
	I don't know what's going on in the Congo.
	They got oil there in the Congo?
	No, you know what?
	They got minerals in the Congo.
	I can start researching this, but let me, for example, just read.
	I just did a quick thing.
	Congo, and this is classic.
	From earlier, mid-2010.
	Congo plans oil pipeline from Central Basin to Atlantic in 2015.
	Congo wants $3 billion pipeline to Central Oil Basin.
	Congo wants gas pipelines from eastern border to Atlantic.
	Congo pipeline engineering jobs.
	Hey, they got some jobs posted.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs!
	Oilcareers.com.
	Yeah!
	Tom Curry here reporting from the Congo.
	Things are really bad.
	Really, really bad.
	I think we need to apply.
	We need a no-fly zone over the Congo.
	My buddy Matt Damon is here.
	Matt, what do you think we should do?
	So the other one that's going to crop up, because I'm looking at a stream, Uganda.
	Well, that's right underneath the Congo.
	Of course.
	It's going to build the pipeline carrying the oil through the Congo.
	Oh!
	It's hilarious.
	So the only way we can do it, because we know it doesn't work.
	We can't go back and do the weapons of mass destruction thing, because it took a lot of covering up and lying, and a lot of celebrity presidential slut squad distractions to get people off of that.
	So instead, we need human rights.
	Wait, wait, wait, stop.
	I can't not interrupt you here.
	Okay.
	Because more recent news, October, because you have your little map, your theory was that it's all, you know, a straight line, and now it says, Congo, Kenya, Uganda, former E&I man plans pipeline, Congo, Angola, into Chevron pipeline, Uganda says it will be a pipeline.
	Anyway, okay, I'm done.
	Right, so...
	Who are we going to put in Kenya?
	Who are we going to put in Kenya?
	We need a celebrity in Kenya.
	Not the president.
	We need a celebrity in Kenya.
	We need the president.
	The president.
	Uganda?
	Well, Uganda...
	I am Bill Clinton here in Uganda.
	Matt Damon, we got...
	Okay, we'll line them up as they come out.
	Matt Damon is lying...
	No, we got Clooney in Sudan.
	He's right underneath Libya.
	Yeah.
	Hi, this is George Clooney.
	It's really bad here in Sudan.
	The rebels are fighting.
	We need to save...
	Quick, we need to save these people!
	We need humanitarian assistance!
	Quickly!
	Alright.
	Then we've got Matt Damon in the Congo.
	I've traveled to this region many, many times and have never seen the fighting this bad.
	No, it's Affleck's in the Congo.
	I'm sorry.
	No, Damon will be...
	Then we should put Damon in Uganda.
	Yeah, Damon will have to go to Uganda, and then we need two more celebrities, and we've got it covered.
	Who can we get?
	Who is of the right ilk for this?
	How about Bono?
	No, Bono screwed it up.
	No, Bono's no good.
	Bono is Bono.
	Boner.
	No, no, no.
	Bono's no good.
	Maybe...
	Who else is in this crowd, this little clique?
	Well, hold on.
	Let's look at Ocean's Eleven.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah, that's probably where it all stems from.
	Ocean's Eleven.
	Let's just see the cast of Ocean's Eleven, right?
	Hold on a second.
	We've got...
	I know there was another dude that we could use.
	Paul Nolan.
	Elliot Gould.
	No, too old.
	No, you've got to be a young hotshot.
	You're going to have to bring a couple new guys into the fold here.
	How about Oceans 12?
	Let me see.
	You know, they had a couple of these Oceans things.
	Yeah, they had three of them, actually.
	Let me just see the cast.
	Maybe the chat room can help out.
	I mean, we have Angelina Jolie would be a possibility.
	Oh, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
	She could be good.
	Julia Roberts.
	I think she's already done it.
	Brad Pitt needs it.
	Don Cheadle.
	Don Cheadle for the black slaves.
	Don Cheadle.
	Cheadle would be good, but Pitt.
	Don't forget Brad Pitt.
	Yeah, Pitt.
	Although he seems to go off script too much.
	Yeah, he's not really reliable.
	He's dingy.
	Yeah.
	We'll have to see.
	Julia Roberts could be one.
	I think Julia Roberts...
	Yeah, but these people, the women aren't going to have...
	This is a macho thing.
	I think they're going to be less inclined to, you know...
	Well, I don't know.
	But let's keep our eye on it.
	Miley Cyrus is being suggested.
	Andy Garcia.
	Andy Garcia would be a good one.
	Yeah.
	Wesley Snipes, I think he's in jail.
	That's because he wouldn't go.
	Why is Wesley Snipes in jail?
	He wouldn't go.
	Right, exactly.
	James Franco, we could send him.
	Robert Downey Jr.
	Now these guys got too much, there's too much riding.
	You gotta have, Robert Downey Jr.
	could be a good one.
	He might, well we'll just have to see.
	We'll keep our eye on it, keep your eye out for, you know that Clinton is doing another fundraiser and he's got Drake performing.
	This is the new ambassadorship.
	This is the new thing.
	And it does kind of bring the whole Charlie Sheen thing home to me.
	So he's like, I'm not going to do it.
	I think Sean Penn was sent in like, hey, Charlie, man, just come with me to Haiti, and we'll make it all kind of look good, and you've got to do your thing.
	Because it's all power control, mind control.
	So I ran into an odd piece about Sean Penn in Haiti.
	I have a clip I didn't incorporate, but I'll put it on maybe the next show if it's necessary, but I don't think it is.
	So it was Anthony Bourdain on No Reservations meeting with Sean Penn, who's apparently holed up in Haiti.
	And Penn is revealing, or he says, you know, the whole thing is about art.
	He's in this huge art community.
	Apparently the Haitians are like crazy artists.
	Well, no, that was the one project that Bill Clinton did is all those billions of dollars.
	They rebuilt the art building, which is the iron building.
	It's called something like that.
	And that's what he keeps showing.
	If you go to the ClintonFoundation.org, you'll see it's beautiful and people are making pottery and stuff like that.
	And that's where all the rebuilding is being done.
	This one iron building, as it's called, And where they make art.
	Arts and crafts to sell to the tourists who are coming.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's an arts and crafts thing to sell to the tourists.
	But Penn is at the ground floor of this thing.
	Yeah.
	It's actually quite interesting.
	Oh, yeah.
	Anyway.
	Penn is not going to be moved to Africa.
	He's just stuck in the heat.
	How about the Kardashians?
	I don't know.
	We're going to have to see who crops up out of the blue.
	I think the Kardashians would be great.
	Well, I think they'd be great just to ship them to Africa.
	Tell them that there's a beach.
	There's a beach in the Congo.
	It's okay.
	You'll love it.
	Uganda.
	You're going to.
	You're going to love it, baby.
	You're going to love it.
	Alright, we'll figure it out when it happens.
	We'll see it.
	As soon as it happens, we'll all go, wow, that's the guy.
	Right.
	We will go, wow.
	Like, ugh.
	So, Jesse Jackson Jr.
	Yeah.
	Have you seen this dude?
	I actually met him once.
	Really?
	How was he?
	Was he, like, zonked?
	I like him.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Did you hear his recent diatribe?
	You know, I heard it and I've heard a bunch of people saying, yeah, this guy's crazy, this is nuts, but the fact of the matter is if you actually boil down what he said in some logical, weird, left-wing manner...
	Because the big thing everyone's bitching about, I mean, I know where this is coming from.
	It's from the logic that, no, you can't do that because it's not in the Constitution.
	You can't do that because it's not in the Constitution.
	You got Judge Napolitano taking over the Glenn Beck show.
	It's not in the Constitution.
	You can't do it.
	If it's not in the Constitution, it's not doable.
	As predicted, by the way.
	So, we predicted that very early on.
	And so...
	Okay, well then put it in the Constitution, because you can put anything you want in the Constitution with an amendment.
	Yeah, so here's Jesse Jackson Jr.
	requesting just that.
	I believe that the answer to long-term unemployment is actually in the Constitution of the United States.
	Well, let me say that a little differently.
	It's not in the Constitution of the United States.
	It should be in the Constitution of the United States, and one of these days we're going to get there.
	We need to add to the Constitution the right to a family to have a decent home.
	What would that do for home construction in this nation?
	What would that do for millions of unemployed people?
	He says we need to add to the Constitution the right to medical care.
	How many doctors would such a right create?
	He says we need to add to the Constitution of the United States the right to a decent education for every American.
	How many schools would such a right build from Maine to California?
	How many people would be put to work building roofs and designing classrooms and providing every student with an iPod and a laptop?
	I think he needs to update it.
	It should be an iPad 2 and a laptop.
	I think we should put that in the Constitution.
	Every kid needs an iPod and a laptop.
	So, you know, the thing about this is, yeah, well, you could put it in.
	I mean, no one's going to vote it in, by the way, so this is, like, ridiculous.
	And if it's in the Constitution, it doesn't mean that anything's going to happen.
	But the idea is no weirder.
	No weirder than the right-wingers who want to ban gay marriage and put it in the Constitution.
	No, of course not.
	They're all nuts.
	They're all nuts.
	John McCain has great...
	A lot of people sent me this, of course.
	He's talking about our great manufacturing here in these United States of Gitmo.
	I would also point out that if you'd emptied that house there, if you'd left a computer there, or an iPad, or an iPhone, those are built in the United States of America.
	Yeah, okay, John.
	What?
	Thank you.
	What?
	Where is this?
	What planet is this idiot from?
	This guy was going to be the president?
	The iPad is built right here in these United States of America, John.
	Just so you know.
	Since when is the Foxconn factory in China, the United States of America?
	Let's just listen to that again.
	Just make sure we heard it right.
	I would also point out that if you'd emptied that house there, if you'd left a computer there, or an iPad, or an iPhone, those are built in the United States of America.
	That's right.
	Built right here.
	What?
	What computer is built in the United States of America nowadays?
	The one that you build in your house.
	Yeah, the one that I built from Chinese parts.
	Yeah, it's assembled in the United States.
	I mean, the iPhones are assembled in Cupertino, which I think means they put the sticker on it.
	Yeah, they don't do much.
	No.
	It's not like somebody's got a screwdriver.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, McCain, he was almost president.
	Whew!
	Boy.
	Yeah, we dodged a bullet with that guy.
	We dodged a bullet, didn't we?
	Hey, I'm just full of good stuff today.
	Well, it reminds me of George H.W. Bush when he finally quit, or he was ousted from the presidency, and then he goes to a grocery store, and he's completely befuddled by the barcode reading system.
	Yeah, what's that?
	Wow, wow.
	Where did this come from?
	This is hot tech.
	So my friend and yours, Austin Goolsbee, And there's something up with the patent system, by the way, because he did a whiteboard talking about how we're going to reform the patent system, i.e., just like Homeland Security, if you want a visa, if you're a stupid slave, you pay $300.
	If you guaranteed want your visa, you pay an additional $1,000 for a total of $1,300, I know, because someone I know has gone through this twice now.
	And it's like, you get it.
	It's like, oh, here it is, stamp.
	For an extra thousand bucks.
	So the patent system now, they're going to guarantee that within 12 months you have your patent on your bogus claim.
	Of course, there'll be an extra fee for that.
	But this is not the clip that I have.
	This is a clip from Austin, just to give you an idea of this jabroni.
	By the way, the Supreme Court is today ruling on the possibility of copyright, works out of copyright, bringing them back into copyright.
	This is another genius, genius thing.
	So all those Gutenberg books will be owned by Disney, trust me.
	So Goolsbee's at the National Association of Business Economists, I think.
	It's NAIB is what it's called.
	Or Business Executives NAIB. NAIB. That sounds enlightening.
	But I just want you to hear, he says something...
	So what they're talking about is economic data.
	Because, of course, the economic data that we get is just whatever the, you know, Jabroni J there at the White House says, oh, jobs, you know, we created more jobs.
	We saved, we created, we did whatever.
	They just, you know, unemployment, 9%, oh, it's all, you know, who knows?
	They cook it up.
	They just make it up.
	They calculate it differently every single time.
	There's always different formulas.
	So NAIB, Who I guess are a bunch of good guys who actually just say, hey, what is the actual economic data?
	And their one mantra is, better economic data.
	Loud, listen to this.
	Nabe, for everything you do, for six years I was on the Census Advisory Commission, and Nabe and the Census Advisory Commission are basically the only two bodies in the United States.
	Strongly and totally voting issue is quality of our economic data.
	And I remember...
	Now listen to this story.
	So this is what they're about.
	It was like, that's right.
	Hey, douchebag up there.
	We want quality of economic data.
	September 11, 2001, the name meeting was in New York.
	And Alan Greenspan at that meeting filmed a series of videotapes.
	Calling for improvement of the economic data that needed to be funded.
	They were destroyed in the September 11th attack.
	Wow!
	He's laughing.
	The crowd is laughing.
	That the tapes of Greenspan calling for better economic data were destroyed in the 9-11 attack.
	What's so funny about that?
	And where was this meeting held?
	And why is it funny?
	Yeah, I'm wondering.
	There's something very ghoulish about it.
	Listen to that again.
	That meeting filmed a series of videotapes calling for improvement of the economic data that needed to be funded.
	They were destroyed in the September 11th attack.
	Hey, John!
	Right?
	Right?
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Alright, we have a bunch of donors this week that we want to thank, and many of them are from out of the country, including Damian Tayman, who comes in at $125 from Perth, the place I've always wanted to see.
	It's beautiful there, it is luscious, it is green, and it is one of the places Miss Mickey and I are considering moving to.
	You know, I've heard nothing but good things about Perth, but I guess it's very easy to connect to Asia from Perth because it's on that left coast.
	It's beautiful.
	It's luscious and green and nice.
	Damien says, I've been a $5 a month subscriber for some time now.
	I feel it's necessary to make more significant contributions since your show has kept me sane barely while working over here in crazy Papaw, New Guinea.
	Papua New Guinea.
	Papua New Guinea, which is another cool place, I suppose.
	Your constant insights in media assassination makes me realize that even a small fraction of what you talk about, if it's true, we are all truly screwed.
	And I think that's the way you can sell our show to other people.
	Hey, if only 1% of what these guys are saying is true, you're screwed.
	He needs an in the morning to his amazing girlfriend, Jane.
	In the morning!
	In the morning!
	Which means that probably something goes on in the morning.
	They're doing it in the morning.
	That's right.
	And, of course, we did mention Jan Persiel's Hamburg Deutschland's $111.11.
	And then we got Thomas Nussbaum.
	Sir Thomas, I'm sorry, Virginia Beach.
	Number three for Nicole to become a dame.
	I didn't receive the Schill's night letter.
	Ring size is $11.11.
	For Thomas Nussbaum, Sir Thomas Nussbaum, size 11.
	That's a big finger, isn't it?
	I think.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what the sizes are.
	Vernon White, but it's good to have a size 11 after giving $111.11 because $11.11 is coming up.
	Yep, that's right.
	How about that?
	Vernon White, Black Knight.
	Vernon White, that is.
	I'm adding $111.11 to get Karma missed on 284 to help my job search since I've been out of work since June of 2009.
	Wow.
	All right, let me give some of that to him right now then.
	Here you go, buddy.
	You've got Karma.
	He lives in Pearland, Texas, he wants to correct.
	I think I said Pearland or something like that.
	Craig Peters in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, $99.99.
	Niner, niner, niner, niner!
	I have become an executive producer.
	I have an executive producer check coming your way soon, but in the meantime, I was compelled to donate ASAP after listening to episode 284.
	This quad niner, let's hear it, Adam, you already did it, is for the noodle douchebag clip in the discussion that followed.
	Oh, a lot of people commented on that.
	That was the kid who was like, hey man, we have to show up to work at a certain time and make the noodles a certain way, man.
	That's just not okay.
	Should we play that again?
	Yeah, I get it.
	Go get it.
	I love that clip.
	It was just hilarious.
	It was a throwaway clip which made it even more interesting.
	I have it.
	Well, you're getting our read-off where we're going.
	He's also going to be the owner of PR.com and waggededug.com.
	I have it.
	Here we go.
	Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
	You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
	self and most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free um you don't really get to decide your work for example i work at noodles a restaurant and basically it's a dictatorship there um we're totally the dictatorship there how are we going to cook it what time we're going to get there and basically if they don't like what they're doing they try to tell us what to do if we don't listen they get rid of us and so that's so horrible Tell us what time to get there.
	And how to make the noodles.
	It's a dictatorship.
	I tell you, noodles is a dictatorship.
	Hold on, it should be like this.
	I'm here at the noodles, and the dictators are telling me what time to show up, and I've got to do all kinds of horrible things, John.
	I've got to make the noodles a certain way.
	Help us!
	New donor, Andrew Terry, from Brackley, Northamshire, Northamptonshire, UK, small token from a long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Please shout out to atlefod, L-E-F-O-D. I know he's listening from his bunker in France.
	Right on.
	I don't know if we're supposed to shout out he's a douchebag or what?
	Well, why don't we try this?
	There you go.
	A little louder.
	It was fine for me.
	Paul Alvis in Toronto, Ontario, working my way to nighthood.
	Next show, you'll donate him out based on how many listeners.
	Go to crackpotcommand.com or www.buzzkillbunker.com and sign up as a website member.
	Okay, we'll see.
	I'm going to be adding Eric DeShill.
	Get those robots up.
	We'll see what's going on.
	What robots?
	We got robots on this show?
	We got robots.
	Oh, cool.
	I'm going to be adding a section where users can plan no agenda meetups soon.
	That's a good idea.
	And also, if I missed the no agenda PR links, please let them know.
	They can contact me.
	I'll be glad to add it to the crackpot command, $66.66.
	William Hamblin, Nashville, Tennessee, $60.
	Andrew Sawyer, Vancouver, BC, 50.
	David Milbrook, Elon Aberdeenshire.
	UK, $50.
	John Tarada, another $50 from Pasadena, California.
	And here we go.
	Not bad, John.
	Getting better?
	So this is a throwback to this wonderful Dutch proverb.
	Which is being over het paard getild, i.e.
	you were boosted up so high onto the horse that you fell off on the other side.
	What John meant to say was, ik ben niet over het paard getild, ik zit op het paard als ridder.
	So I have not been hoisted over the horse, I'm on the horse as a knight.
	Nice.
	Thank you, Chris.
	I mean, Chris, he's going to get there, man.
	Oh, he's already a knight.
	Yeah, he's Sir Chris.
	He's Sir Chris.
	Say it properly.
	We have Matthew Belmar from Wolcott, Connecticut.
	Last time I donated in late summer 2009, you pronounced both my last name and my town wrong.
	Belmar.
	Good job, John.
	Bel.
	Good job.
	Bel.
	That you ring like a bell mare, like a female horse.
	Okay, bell mare.
	And Wolcott, like wool claw.
	So it's Wolcott.
	Alright.
	So he can use some karma.
	He needs it.
	Okay.
	Coming at you, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	Now, Matthew is a classic donor.
	He's a student and he can give us $50.
	I don't see why other people can't help us out.
	Really?
	And then finally, Tristan Lennon, Sir Tristan from my favorite place.
	Wagga Wagga!
	That's where I want to move.
	I want to move to Wagga Wagga.
	I would love to at least see Wagga Wagga.
	$50 and then Tristan Wilson-Kurrigan in Padbury, Westerns Australia.
	We have a lot of Aussies on today's donor list.
	That's because Chelsea Lately is doing her show from there this week.
	Yeah.
	I love that show.
	That is a good show.
	And I love the Australians.
	I love them.
	I love them.
	We've got to go.
	We've got to go.
	John, we're crazy we don't go to Australia.
	It's a long haul.
	And so anyway, we have a couple other miscellaneous.
	Give James Williams some karma.
	He looks like he's going to be able to give us more money.
	You've got karma.
	And we have ChicagoPolice.net and ChicagoCops.com, both linking to No Agenda Show.
	And we want to thank all the donors, no matter how much they gave, for helping us out for this show.
	Oh, sorry.
	And hit it.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And you'll find links on the NoAgendaShow.com, also at the NoAgendaNation.com slash donate or slash NA, but I think it's on the homepage, too.
	I'm reading this book called Moonwalking with Shakespeare, The Art and Science of Remembering.
	About halfway through it, but already it's like...
	You forgot what page you're on?
	It's very interesting.
	The guy who wrote it was a journalist who was sent, I think, for Slate to cover one of these memory competitions.
	And he winds up in the finals of the memory competition because he figures out how to do it.
	But it's not really a how-to book on how to do it, although the trick is in there, and I've practiced this, and I'm going to be doing it.
	It's amazingly fun when you know how to do it.
	Oh, let me take a look at when you're done.
	I mean, I used to have a better memory than I, since I can't remember Matt Damon's name.
	It was better three years ago, John.
	It's a matter of practice, because I recall when I was a receiving clerk for International Harvester, There were these long numbers you didn't have to remember, but if you didn't remember them, you were going to spend a lot of time looking back and forth.
	It is so easy.
	Once you know the concept of memory palaces, it is so easy to do this, then it's just practice.
	But there's a lot of things that are harder, but he does go very deep into the whole idea of how jingles work.
	Slash N-A. And that these are non-erasable.
	You cannot actually erase that from your memory.
	Yeah.
	Devorak.org slash N-A. That one, every once in a while I start thinking about it.
	I can't get it out of my brain.
	Let's do our birthday call out for Jan.
	Well, really big list today.
	Yum Perseal, who of course is one of our donors, no longer a boner, celebrating his birthday today.
	Yum, we wish you a very happy birthday from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show, Adam and John, and of course all the producers out there in Gitmo Nation.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	So, um...
	I was a little bummed out because more bummed out.
	So I thought, I'll have a great idea.
	I'll start adding books to the Big App Show, which I've done, adding book reviews.
	And do you know that with the Amazon Associate Affiliate Program, you can't link directly to Kindle Books?
	Oh, interesting.
	And like, what the F is that?
	Well, they have all the control.
	But I mean, you can link to any hardcover or softcover or secondhand book, but you can't link directly to Kindle books.
	Yeah, you know why?
	Because obviously you'd be making too much money.
	Because most people that would be doing linking in the first place probably have a Kindle or some device that reads Kindle books.
	Well, you can read it on your iPhone or Android.
	I know, it's pissing me off.
	It's like the whole idea.
	Where's Barnes& Noble when you need it?
	I mean, these guys have never picked up the slack.
	It's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	Something very interesting.
	You know, Russia and Get My Nation Vodka, or Borscht, as you prefer.
	They've been rebranding their police force.
	And what's funny is...
	Of course, I don't speak Russian, so I'm just going by what I'm reading, but the video of this is fantastic.
	So they've changed their name, and the abbreviation is OMOH, of their police force.
	OMOH, which of course, if you turn that around, is HOMO. And, uh, so there's this squad now, these girls, and the YouTube video is fantastic.
	So when you're driving down the road and you look in your rear view mirror, you see a homo.
	That's right.
	Homo, homo, stop.
	So it's homo, but they're really, it's the new friendlier, uh, police force.
	And because of this, because it's such a joke, there are girls now going up to the female Russian police officers and kissing them on the mouth like tongue.
	And the whole video is just...
	The whole video, and they're calling it an art project.
	Yeah, I call it fake.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	This is not fake, dude.
	Hold on a second.
	You should really see this.
	Dude.
	Dude.
	You should really see this.
	This is, it's phenomenal.
	They're calling it street art.
	But there's just video after video of these girls running up to these female cops and just like tongue kissing them.
	And it's hot.
	It's totally great.
	And I think...
	You gonna send me a link?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	It's funny, when I'm trying to move the cursor of my Mac that I'm running the show off of, I'm trying to pull it into my laptop screen.
	Of course, it doesn't actually go that far.
	Hold on a second.
	You will love this when you see it.
	Hold on.
	Street art of the day.
	I'll also paste it into the chat room.
	I think the human resources will appreciate it.
	Try that.
	I'm going to paste this into the chat room so we all can enjoy this.
	This is a moment, everyone together now.
	And they're just doing it all everywhere.
	And the Russian cops, these women, they're hot!
	Oh, I see.
	You're probably right, because the Russian cops are pissed.
	Yeah.
	So, Omo.
	Omo.
	Well, there's one girl who decided to give her the kiss back.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	Russia's becoming also a possible destination for living now.
	How about Hawaii, John?
	What do you know about Hawaii?
	We used to go to Hawaii once or twice a year.
	Because I'm looking at real estate prices.
	For what I'm paying here, I can have like five bedrooms, 15 acres on the beach.
	Well, it depends on what island you're talking about.
	Who cares?
	Who cares?
	As long as there's internet.
	It makes a difference.
	It's boring on some of those islands.
	I don't need excitement.
	I need internet.
	Yeah, you do.
	I need internet.
	I need internet.
	That's all.
	That's all I need.
	Hi, Adam.
	Big fan.
	Whoa, she really planted one.
	Yeah, that's not fake, John.
	That's real.
	Admit it.
	Yeah, no, this doesn't look fake.
	Hi, Adam.
	Big fan.
	It's like the attacks is won.
	It's hot.
	It's hot, isn't it?
	And they're like, whoa, what's going on?
	I love it.
	Nothing like lesbian MILF cops.
	This is Russia.
	Way to go.
	Hey, comrades.
	Loving it.
	It's very funny.
	I have to blog this.
	Hi, Adam.
	Big fan of the show.
	I wanted to let you know...
	Oh, hold on.
	I actually should play this for a second.
	And now, back to real news.
	Big fan of the show.
	I wanted to let you know, we got a tip.
	This is one of our medical producers, who shall go unnamed, as he calls himself, my liaison in the belly of the beast.
	I want to let you know we've got a tip regarding a medication called Zaconotide, a trade name Prialt.
	The tipster alleges Charlie Sheen has been taking the stuff and this is what's driving him crazy.
	Apparently the stuff is a lot more powerful than morphine, has some gnarly side effects, which include bipolar behavior.
	Have you heard of this Prialt stuff?
	No, we don't have it.
	I never hear of a drug unless it's been advertised heavily on television.
	Well, this is, if you go to drugs.com, Prealt is a non-narcotic pain reliever that works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain, used to treat severe chronic pain in people who cannot use or do not respond to standard pain-relieving medications.
	Ziconotide is derived from the toxin of the cone snail species, Conus magus.
	Scientists have been intrigued by the effects of the thousands of chemicals in marine snail toxins since the initial investigations.
	That's probably what he's drinking.
	He keeps saying he's drinking some weird stuff.
	Yeah, that's tiger blood.
	This is tiger blood.
	It's got to be this stuff.
	The effects of these toxins from his childhood in the Philippines.
	Some scientist was fascinated by this stuff.
	Ziconatide was discovered in the early 1980s by the University of Utah research scientist Michael McIntosh when he was barely out of high school and working with this guy Olivera.
	Siconatide was developed into an artificially manufactured drug by Elon Corporation.
	It was approved for sale under the name Prealt by the US FDA in 2004.
	Isn't it a beautiful thing?
	It's always something.
	Hey, breaking news.
	In other words, it's basically a toxin that snails use to keep alive by killing their prey.
	And now, of course, being the Hollywood denizen, we take it.
	Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, John.
	Breaking news, coming through with the Noagena Network.
	NoagenaNewsNetwork.com.
	Breaking news.
	We know that the Chinese spy Gary Locke is now being sent over to China to become ambassador.
	He's being retired, right?
	You read about this, didn't you?
	Yeah, I have, actually.
	So he is the Commerce Secretary.
	He's of Chinese descent, and he's done enough spying now, so I guess he's taken a bag full of secrets over there and he's become ambassador.
	Breaking news, according to Bloomberg, who is in line to be the next U.S. Secretary of Commerce?
	Bloomberg?
	Eric Schmidt?
	Oh, well, we knew they were going to put him somewhere.
	Former CEO of Google.
	Well, we predicted, of course, he's going to end up running the intelligence agency.
	Well, is there any difference if you're running commerce?
	Commerce is pretty weak.
	It's a gig, though.
	Yeah, it's a gig.
	Once he's in, once you're into that, you know, it's like a milieu.
	Once you're in, then they just start bouncing you around because you're now an expert.
	Yep.
	And so then you'll be bounced from here to there, and the next thing you know, he'll be head of the CIA, the NSA, or the guy in the middle, that new guy, which is what he should be doing.
	Yeah, from...
	I don't see that.
	Eric, chief science officer for Sun Microsystems and CTO at Novell and CEO of Google, a search engine company, should be the head of commerce.
	Can't you find a professor or somebody?
	It's just a start.
	Well, it's just a start.
	It's just a start.
	But he's in.
	They've got to get him in.
	Get him in.
	Move him up.
	That's the Boy Scouts marching song.
	So we had a little bit of biodiversity in our own backyard this week, Redondo Beach, California, where millions of sardines died and floated to the surface.
	Do you have a theory on this?
	Because I got one.
	I'm sure mine won't be as entertaining.
	Well, then you go first.
	I would assume, well, there's a couple possibly.
	I'll give you a crackpot one.
	They've been finding a lot of marine life has been huge kill-offs and dead zones and all the rest of it from underground volcanoes that have been leaking out lots of methane and other gases.
	And it's quite possible that a crack is formed underneath that area just outside the shelf there in Southern California, which is a precursor to a massive earthquake, which is going to knock your house off the hill.
	You know, it's so funny you say that, because this is absolutely, I believe, we've got the big one coming in California.
	And just like in New Zealand, what did we have just days before the big one?
	We had whales beaching themselves.
	So this is it.
	It's coming.
	It's coming.
	We've got bottles of water.
	The big one's going to hit California.
	And you're going to laugh at me.
	Of course, we had...
	This is HAARP, by the way.
	This is not any biodiversite.
	This is HAARP. They're tuning it up, and they misfire.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	They hit Japan with a 7.2.
	I keep notes now.
	February 24th, at 9.15 on this show, you said, No quake in Southern California.
	No way.
	Change the story.
	I'm allowed.
	Hey, if the president can keep Gitmo open, I can change my earthquake machine story.
	And it's a moving target, but I give one week.
	One week?
	One week.
	Big one hitting in one week.
	What was the lag time between the whales?
	A couple days.
	A couple days.
	All right, well, I've argued buckle down.
	I would wear a seatbelt.
	Yeah.
	I wish I could have one of those leashes you put on your kids.
	Of course, the Los Angeles Times says, well, this is because there's no oxygen, because of an explosive growth of algae, and that's because of global warming.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Absolutely.
	You can make anything.
	The stock market crash can be blamed on global warming.
	Yeah, well, it will be.
	If only we had bought some more carbon credits.
	I've been following these water meters.
	And this is an unbelievable story.
	I'll just play the first minute or so of this clip of these residents in...
	I forget where it is now.
	Let me see.
	Well, I'll play the clip and I'll remember.
	They have their smart meters installed.
	We're mad!
	Atlanta residents.
	Atlanta.
	We're mad!
	Clearly have had enough.
	For you to expect us to think that four million gallons of water is leaking somewhere on our property and not showing up is absolutely mind-blowing.
	We were taking a shower every day.
	Now we're skipping sometimes because we're trying to save the water.
	For more than three years, Atlanta, a city of more than a half million residents, has been bombarded with complaints of outrageous water bills.
	Now remember, I told you that I was going nuts over the water bills here.
	Like, I'm paying like $500, $600 a month in water.
	It's Mickey and I. You know?
	It makes no sense.
	No.
	Similar complaints are popping up around the country in places like Cleveland, Charlotte, Tampa, and California.
	Brockton, Massachusetts.
	But the water bill war is nothing like in Atlanta.
	Just ask Wilda Cobb.
	I feel like I'm going crazy.
	Cobb lives by herself in this 1,800 square foot home.
	Her water bill averages $30 to $40 a month until it began going up more than $1,200 in November.
	What happened before this water bill went up, John?
	What do you think happened?
	Hello?
	Hello?
	What are you doing?
	Are you pooping?
	No, I had to get a glass of water.
	Oh, jeez.
	Hey, that's a very expensive thing you're doing there.
	Yeah, this glass of water, no, it cost me $50.
	What do you think happened?
	Well, well, what do you think happened?
	Well, let's listen.
	December bill, nearly $6,900.
	This is great!
	Cobb now owes more than $10,000.
	And city inspectors found no leaks.
	Remember when they were...
	I don't want to give it away.
	...take the time to do this.
	And then there's Debbie Scarborough.
	Her water bill shot up more than $3,000.
	After two months of huge spikes last summer.
	This is another bill, another month.
	She even hired two plumbers to prove there was no leak.
	Five years ago, the city hired a company to replace its aging water meters with automatic meter reading devices.
	Ah, there you go.
	It's the smart meters.
	And if you'll recall, the main selling point of the smart meters was to be able to detect leakage So what they're doing now is they are raping us, and I'm sure this only really happened this morning that I found all this.
	I'm sure these smart meter companies are getting a piece of the back end, but this is a 10-minute report of nothing but people who live in modest homes with thousands of dollars of water bills, and then it's like they have no leaks, no nothing.
	No, you're just using too much water, slave.
	And it's rampant.
	And it's all these smart meters.
	It's happening with electricity.
	All these smart meters are doing that to the electricity bills, too.
	We've had that locally.
	In fact, my bill went way up for some unknown reason.
	Well, no.
	The reason is known you just had a smart meter installed.
	Remember?
	You told me that.
	You had a smart meter installed.
	They did it on the outside.
	You had nothing to do with it.
	And now, all of a sudden, your electricity bill skyrockets because it's theft.
	They're stealing from you.
	Yeah.
	I'm actually getting very angry because our bills, it's out of control.
	And we have like soft lighting, you know, with a transformer.
	We don't even have light bulbs.
	And the water, it's just off the chart.
	So they're installing these smart meters, and I think that the companies, they go and they interview one of these guys, total jabroni, douchebag.
	I think they're on the back end.
	I think they get a piece of the back end, because they also do collections, remember?
	They do collections.
	They don't just measure it with Wi-Fi.
	They drive by and they collect all the data wirelessly.
	But they do the collections as well.
	So they're on the back end of this.
	Because, you know, that's what you get paid for.
	You get a percentage of collections.
	They're just jacking up everybody's rates.
	Yeah, well, it sounds like an out-and-out scam.
	And, of course, we don't have any public utilities commissions anymore with any balls or any power.
	Nope.
	Because it's all been taken away from them during the deregulation period where we don't need, actually, any regulation whatsoever.
	And so this is the direct result for all you out there.
	And I know there's a bunch that listen to this show who are...
	Deregulation absolutist.
	Oh, you don't need regulations.
	The free market will take care of it.
	This is what you get.
	Corruption.
	The free market works great when it's not corrupt.
	So now we're going to have to go, who do you sue?
	Who do you sue?
	You have to take them to small claims court or something.
	I don't know what you're going to do.
	Somebody will come up with a model to sue them to get their money back and hopefully they'll find a judge who's not just some dumb jerk-off that's sitting there doing nothing.
	I think they're all...
	John, they're all in on this.
	This is the takedown of the people.
	They're all in on it.
	They are all in on it.
	I've got to go look at my water bill and I'm going to freak out.
	Because I know the water bill is going to be like $700 to $800 a month.
	I cook a little bit.
	We take showers.
	I think the one way to go about this, if it's possible, is to...
	If you could re-meter your meters, in other words, turn off the thing and then put another meter on.
	Yeah, but meanwhile, they've got the ultimate control over you because they can shut it off remotely.
	Flick of the switch!
	Not all of them are two-way yet, but they have that capability, easily upgradable.
	No, no, no.
	This is a huge scam, and a lot of people, it's going slowly.
	It's like the Chinese and the Russian credit card dudes.
	What they do is they steal your card, but they don't charge like $1,000.
	You'll see a charge show up for $2.
	It'll be some kind of fee.
	And they do this with a million people, and they got $2 million a month just from one little scammage.
	Go ahead.
	I've seen it.
	I've seen it on my credit card, and I refuse payment on it.
	But they're getting greedy now.
	It's like, stupid slaves, just take your money.
	You don't want to pay your water bill?
	You're going to get really thirsty.
	You don't like electricity?
	Well, just going to turn it off.
	And the whole cover is biodiversity and global warming and carbon and bad.
	How is this going to work with your battery car, douchebags?
	No, it scares the bejesus out of me, and we've got to do something about it.
	Yeah.
	Well, they screwed up with that woman who's given her a $6,000 bill.
	Yeah, no, they went a little too far on that one.
	Yeah, but of course they'll come up with some bogus, oh, it was a mistake, it was a faulty meter, it won't happen again.
	Yeah, we'll fix it, don't worry about it.
	But meanwhile, so you just said it yourself, your electricity went up for some reason.
	Have you changed your habits?
	Not really.
	How much is it, like $10, $20, $100?
	No, it doubled.
	And what do you pay a month, if you don't mind me asking?
	I pay it well, and this last bill that jerked up out of the blue went to $1,000.
	What?
	You're one dude in the house!
	Yeah.
	What are you running?
	You running something special in the basement?
	If I was growing pot, at least it would make some excuse.
	You might have to.
	I might have to if we don't get more donations.
	This is crazy, man.
	Yeah, we're working on it.
	I don't know.
	We have to find some mechanism to sue them because I know it's bogus.
	This is something Mimi should sink her teeth into because she notices this stuff.
	I'm sure she said, John, what are you doing?
	I'm sorry, she doesn't talk like that, of course.
	But John, what are you doing?
	What are you using double electricity?
	You got like hookers in there when I'm not around?
	What are you doing?
	You got like a disco ball and like strobe lights?
	What are you doing, John?
	So play a clip so I can go hang up this phone somebody's calling.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll play a clip of...
	Go ahead.
	This is Lucy Napolitano who's buddy-buddy with...
	Who's the dude who's on CNN? What's his name again, John?
	You don't give a shit.
	What's the guy who's going to run for president?
	Romney.
	No, not Mitt Romney, the other guy.
	Huckabee.
	Oh, that guy's not running for anything.
	Hey, by the way, I just picked up the phone and it was a recording that says, we apologize, we reached your number in error.
	That's good.
	What was it, you think?
	The water company.
	Pay up, slave.
	So Lucy is on the Huckabee show and they're good buddies.
	And, uh...
	And this is an amazing little interview.
	And by the way, wow, she could be a Russian cop.
	She talks about using the word terror.
	And Huckabee says, you know, hey, should we really be using this word all the time?
	In the interest of full disclosure, you and I have been longtime friends from being governors during the same time and sharing the podium at the National Governors Association, but I'm going to get right to the point.
	Is there a reluctance on the part of this administration to use the term terrorism or jihadism?
	No.
	We love it.
	I use it all the time.
	I say, honey, terrorist.
	Hey, baby, terrorist.
	Oh, terrorist.
	She wakes up in the morning and goes, oh, what terrorist is it?
	And in fact, in testifying before the Congress just a few weeks ago, I reminded the Congress and the American public that the threats to the United States, they've evolved over time.
	We're not seeing the same kind of plots we saw pre-9-11.
	You know, massive international infiltrations of the United States to weaponize airplanes.
	John Massive infiltrations.
	Are you still on the phone?
	Massive?
	No, I'm not on the phone.
	Massive infiltrations.
	Weaponizing planes.
	Weaponizing.
	Well, when was this?
	How come this hasn't been reported?
	Let's listen.
	Over time, we're not seeing the same kind of plots we saw pre-9-11.
	You know, massive international infiltrations of the United States to weaponize airplanes, fly them into buildings.
	Yeah, you know, like weaponizing planes flying into buildings.
	Massive infiltration.
	When was this?
	This interview?
	No, when was this taking place, this massive infiltration?
	As we speak, that's why she's reminding you, terror is real.
	Smaller things, individual things, one or two people perhaps acting together, makes it a lot more difficult for law enforcement to detect, to prevent, and that's why we're asking people when they see something to say something.
	Hold on a second.
	We have to...
	Where's my jingle?
	Here we go.
	If you see something, say something.
	That's why we're really working with our governors, our mayors, to really share information about what the terrorist threat is to our own country.
	When P.J. Crowley mentioned that we weren't sure what it was.
	P.J. Crowley is the spokeshole for Hillary Clinton.
	At that time, we know this guy had screamed out, you know, God is great in Arabic.
	There was clear indications from his Facebook page and his communications that he had been consulting with jihadists.
	So, is it fair to say the biggest threat we have in terms of national security, in the specific sense, is that threat from A-Rabs!
	A-Rabs!
	A-Rabs!
	I call them A-Rabs!
	Well, I will say that certainly what we have seen in the...
	John, it's time to talk to your chief.
	Certainly what I've seen is Muslims and Islamists.
	The last several years is a growth of Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda-related groups around the world.
	AQAP, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
	Yes, it rolls off the tongue so nicely.
	AQAP, AQAP. We've seen Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb, for example.
	Al-Qaeda in Maghreb.
	Where's the Maghreb?
	Maghreb?
	I think it's Morocco, isn't it?
	I don't know what she's talking about.
	And we see with the internet as an accelerant...
	An accelerant!
	Oh, Johnny!
	Nice term from CSI. Yes, accelerant.
	Accelerant is the shit that you...
	Sorry.
	Is where you throw on the fire to make it burn faster.
	Accelerant.
	The internet's an accelerant.
	We gotta shut it down.
	Accelerant.
	The connection between groups abroad and individuals in the United States.
	So it's fair to say that a small...
	Al-Qaeda on Maghrib.
	We've got terrorists at McDonald's, John.
	It's the Al-Qaeda and Maghrib.
	Small percentage or small number of individuals who are Muslim and acting in a misguided name of Muslim.
	We call them Islamists.
	Let's take note of that.
	Can you write that in your book?
	I'm writing it down.
	We call them Islamists.
	Have plotted or planned, and they've been intercepted.
	Zazi, Faisal Shahzad, to give you two examples.
	But there are others as well.
	So we don't want to make the terrorism aperture too narrow.
	It's not just about...
	The terrorism aperture.
	Ooh, it's nice.
	We've got to open that hole.
	She's talking about a sphincter.
	Why don't you say it?
	Just a terrorism sphincter.
	All right, well, where is this going?
	Where is it going?
	It's going to this.
	It's going to this next question where he says, hey, hold on a second.
	You and your Department of Homeland Security, you know, a guy got through with box cutters.
	How would you...
	Yeah, which, of course, encourages them to take further action.
	No, no, no.
	So how could he plays right into their hands?
	She does it even better.
	First of all, when you get to the actual checkpoint at the airport, there have been multiple layers.
	Multiple layers in the sphincter of security.
	Layers of activities that have already been undertaken in our effort to make sure that we're focused on the right places.
	We still get a box cutter through is what happened last week.
	Here it comes.
	That's right.
	And then we go through.
	That's why we have multiple layers.
	Why?
	Because you always have to plan for human error.
	When you think about the United States...
	That's great!
	He mentioned that it didn't work.
	There's multiple layers.
	No, of course not.
	Of course not.
	But she's like, that's right.
	That's why we have multiple layers.
	Yeah, the stewardess saw it when it fell out of the guy's bag.
	That's a layer.
	It's a layer.
	Okay, well, here's what we're kind of missing, and I think this idiot Huckabee doesn't help things much.
	No, of course not.
	The TSA has recently, and we both have this article, has recently been kind of scolded, and the Amtrak people are completely bent out of shape because the TSA decided, because they have this team called these Viper teams.
	Viper!
	Hold on a second.
	It's the Viper team coming to...
	Oh, I didn't go.
	Oh, no.
	It crashed.
	Oh, this is not good.
	Hold on a second.
	Viper team coming to a train station near you.
	So they came and they stopped the people leaving a train in Savannah, Georgia and wanded them.
	And there's a video floating around about this showing a little nine-year-old getting wanded.
	And they had some kid sitting down and they were wanding his feet.
	They had to stick his feet up when he was wearing socks.
	And they're wanding the socks.
	And so the Amtrak guy got bent out of shape, and nobody can figure out why they're wanding and checking and questioning all these people getting off of a train.
	And by the way, where's Obama with his, oh, you know the train, the high-speed rail, you won't need to take off your shoes.
	They're taking off their shoes getting off the train.
	It's worse than what he said wouldn't happen.
	Yeah, it's worse.
	And then meanwhile, in Washington State, they have a test program that's only being picked up by the Pacific Northwest newspapers, actually only by the Seattle Times, where the TSA, the Viper teams have decided to, they've got a new one, they're going to try it out.
	So they've been trying this out at the Seattle airport, where they come on the plane.
	What?
	After the plane is boarded, this is documented, after the plane is boarded, the TSA comes on the plane, eyeballs everybody, and then has them take down their luggage from the carry-on and go through it.
	They start filtering through your luggage again.
	Listen up, slaves!
	You see this badge?
	This badge I got, this means I got power!
	Power over you!
	So shut up!
	Meanwhile, there was an incident report last year where this kind of thing happened at the Greyhound bus station in Tampa, Florida, where the Viper teams came out to check on the people getting on the bus just in case.
	That was because they might be smuggling money.
	Remember that?
	We played that clip.
	So these guys are completely out of control.
	There's a waste of the taxpayers' money.
	It's an insult to everybody.
	And it's obviously, the way I'm seeing it, it's the formation, the subtle formation of a secret police and a bunch of Gestapo.
	It's not so subtle.
	It's not that subtle.
	When they're coming on the plane now and eyeballing you, oh, let's take a look at this guy.
	He looks suspicious.
	It's unbelievable.
	Of course, Huckabee doesn't bring any of this stuff up.
	He just asks about the box cutters, implying that they're not doing a good enough job so they should maybe up the ante.
	What is he, nuts?
	That whole thing was rigged?
	That was a bunch of bull crap.
	This has gone completely out of control, and it's a shame that the public is still putting up with it to such an extreme.
	I mean, still, in India, they won't let you have full-body scans.
	And the latest one, the rejection of full-body scanners, is, of all places, Dubai.
	They say, screw you.
	We're not going to put these things in our airports.
	How's that going to work?
	There was a...
	I don't know if I have it.
	So I have to go to a full-body scanner to fly from San Francisco to Seattle, but I can fly from the Middle East to New York City without one?
	Yeah.
	What's your problem?
	Why are you making waves, boy?
	You want change?
	You put it in the Constitution.
	We have power.
	It's in the Constitution.
	They can't do this.
	Yeah, well, show me.
	I'm uh...
	I'm dismayed.
	Again, it's all this...
	John, let's try and do a third show, seriously.
	Why?
	Because I think that there's enough to talk about, and I think that the giving levels will increase enough to take up the slack.
	If not, we need to do more.
	We need to help people and fight back against this, and we're just missing too much.
	We're not able to connect enough things on a weekly basis without that Tuesday show.
	We're just not able to connect all these things.
	There's no material between Sunday and Tuesday.
	What are you talking about?
	You have one day, Monday.
	There's tons of material.
	Maybe...
	It's too long.
	Maybe we have to change the whole schedule.
	It's too long between Sunday and Thursday.
	We're missing good stuff.
	Stuff that people need to know.
	What?
	All kinds of stuff.
	You're not on board with my program.
	I mean, of course.
	Okay, vaccines.
	Let me talk about vaccines for a second.
	I realize that I've mentioned many times how we went through all the reports of all the pharmaceutical companies and that they're all like, vaccines is the big bonanza.
	There's no regulation.
	You're giving medicine to people who aren't sick.
	It's a great way to make money.
	And all the CEOs...
	They're not subject to any liability issues.
	And, of course, if someone dies, tough crap.
	Supreme Court has ruled that tough.
	What I neglected to remind everybody of is that all of these companies...
	See, there's no new stuff coming out.
	The patents are expiring, which of course is why they're now, you know, why Goolsby is now, oh, we'll do something with the patent process.
	You watch, you watch what they're going to do.
	Pfizer, who makes Lipitor.
	Now, sales of Lipitor, we've discussed this before, the sales of Lipitor were larger than the entire music industry in 2009.
	This is the cholesterol drug.
	Right.
	$10 billion a year.
	The patent runs out in November.
	You see the problem?
	Yeah, so we've got to rush a new patent law into effect so we can save these guys.
	I mean, if you bring in $10 billion a year for 20 years, you've got plenty of money to pass around to get people to come on board.
	This year alone, because of patent expirations, the drug industry will lose control over more than 10 mega-medicines whose combined annual sales are $50 billion.
	$50 billion.
	Lipitor being one of the big ones.
	There's a couple others we can talk about.
	So it's a hedge.
	So they've got it on two sides.
	They've got the vaccines, which of course are a bonanza.
	But that's tough because you've got idiots like Curry and Dvorak saying that it's a scam.
	But then, you know, we've got the, all of a sudden, oh, we've got to do patents for innovation!
	Yeah, so we're overhauling the patent system, and you watch, it's going to, it's copyrights, the Supreme Court is, you know, although it's not the same as a patent, the Supreme Court is talking about bringing stuff back in, so it's all a setup in the next five years.
	Same with, what's the, Eli Lilly's Alzheimer's drug.
	I mean, all this stuff.
	All these guys, all this stuff is running out of patent.
	They have nothing new.
	So the only thing that's new is the vaccines.
	Yeah, you think they'd be working on some antibiotics to help people when, you know, since all these other antibiotics are stopping, they're not working anymore because of the misuse.
	You think they would develop some new drugs as opposed to these kind of superficial drugs?
	And by the way, it would be a benefit to people who actually need to take Lipitor to get it for $5 a month instead of $500 or whatever they're paying for $100.
	That should be in the Constitution.
	Well, maybe it should.
	All I know is that the whole thing is just ridiculous that these drug companies are dropping the ball on antibiotics.
	Right.
	Genentech, I think, came up with a new drug for lupus.
	Oh, really?
	So, yeah, and that just got FDA approval.
	So lupus is a terrible thing to have.
	It's a horrible, horrible...
	I know someone who has it.
	It's a horrible disease.
	It's an immune deficiency.
	It ruins your immune system.
	So all these guys, you know, they bought up, it was Roche paid $46 billion for Genentech.
	There you go.
	And Sanofi Adventist paid $20 billion for Genzyme.
	So there's a lot of moves going on here, a lot of things taking place.
	And guess what?
	It's meant to rip you off.
	It's funny, in Gitmo Nation lowlands, there was a huge traffic jam, as reported, let me see, was this Friday?
	Wednesday.
	But yes, a huge traffic jam because, you know, there's a ring, the ring around the Amsterdam, around the city.
	It's called the A-10.
	Huge traffic jam because they were vaccinating 11,500 children against HPV. Huh.
	Why, is there an HPV epidemic?
	Well, you know, it's a fellatio epidemic.
	Is there an epidemic of genital warts?
	Throat cancer.
	Yeah, we're all dying from throat cancer.
	It's for the boys now, too.
	It's not just for the girls.
	So, yeah, it's great.
	Awesome.
	Reminder, programming note for those of you who listen loyally to noagendastream.com.
	Coming up right after the show, the brand new...
	Crude oil show from Mr.
	Oil.
	A lot of people liken that program, and rightly so, because it's really awesome.
	From someone on the inside, you want all the tips?
	And of course, Glencore, so the oil, what are we at now, John?
	$107, $110 a barrel?
	I can get you the exact price at the moment.
	So we're, I think we're still going to try and, I know you disagree, so it's okay, but I think that they will try for the $200 number.
	And all of this is planned beautifully with Glencore's initial public offering, who have now just announced that it looks like they might be merging with Castrata, Which is a mining company which would value the company at $100 billion pre-IPO. This could be the first trillion dollar company.
	And of course, this was set up...
	Well, sitting at $102.90 down at $1.48.
	Yeah, just a temporary pullback.
	And of course this, I think it could be the first trillion dollar company and this of course is started by Mark Rich, the oil trader who was thrown in jail and President Bill Clinton pardoned him on his way out of office and he went to Zouk, Switzerland and started this company and do not care about people.
	Just care about money and power to them.
	I wish I could live in Zouk.
	Which means train.
	Yes.
	And here's a very interesting one.
	Goals at 14.12.
	Yeah, well, I don't want to say I told you so.
	Down 16.
	Well, this is very interesting.
	The document that I had has all of a sudden been removed.
	But there was an airworthiness directive.
	This is very interesting.
	You always have to save page as.
	I have.
	I'd save page as, but I don't have it here on this machine.
	Anyway.
	If you're going to poop...
	On an airplane, just try and hold it in.
	Seriously, don't poop.
	Don't stay in the bathroom too long, and I will tell you why.
	An airworthiness directive has been issued, which an AD, as it's known, means you have to comply with this, and you have to do it within a certain time frame.
	This is an emergency AD, airworthiness directive.
	I follow these, being an aviator.
	Various transport category airplanes equipped with chemical oxygen generators have to be removed from the laboratory.
	In other words, if you are in the bathroom and there is a sudden drop in cabin pressure, you will have no oxygen available to you in that area of the plane.
	The reason why is security reasons.
	Because, of course, someone could tamper with that and turn it into a bomb.
	Makes sense.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Makes total sense.
	So now when you're flying, if there's a loss in cabin pressure and you're in the bathroom, well, kiss your ass goodbye because you're dying.
	Unless you can really run back quickly and get yourself some oxygen.
	This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
	Take out the oxygen in the bathroom because someone might try and blow up the plane with it.
	Brother.
	Oh, brother is right, my friend.
	I didn't even know there was a thing that flopped down in the bathroom.
	Yep.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, how many times, by the way, you've flown commercially a few times, haven't you?
	It has occurred.
	Yeah.
	How many times in your...
	Zero.
	Just zero.
	Just zero.
	Zero.
	Never happened.
	You're telling me that in flying for 30 plus years, you have never had an incident where you've needed the oxygen in the air?
	40 plus years.
	I was flying when we had to wear suits and my sisters wore white gloves and hats.
	So for 40 years, and you fly a lot, at least for a while.
	I used to, yeah.
	And you've never had this happen?
	Never.
	Have you?
	No, as a matter of fact, it's never happened to me.
	And the funny thing is I don't know anyone who ever has happened to.
	Oh, except one guy.
	Take it back.
	There was a story.
	I'll tell it.
	And I took this flight.
	It was the flight from Denver to Aspen.
	And it's a miserable flight over the Rockies.
	And typically back in the day when you had to fly on some of these prop jet Electras, as you recall, they were kind of a sickening ride.
	And this guy's flying in on, he told the story after the fact, on a smaller plane.
	It was a prop job going over the mountains, up and down, up and down, up and down.
	Everyone was getting sick and throwing up.
	Cool.
	And the plane kind of went into kind of like, it was just a puke fest.
	Everybody was throwing up all over the place.
	And apparently there was puke everywhere and it was all along the, it got in the aisles and the plane went into kind of a nosedive.
	And it rolled down the aisle.
	The stewardess fell on her ass and slid on the puke all the way to the front of the plane.
	Sorry.
	And the oxygen mask came down.
	Hot pockets!
	That's what I was told.
	That's awesome.
	Great story.
	It's a visual thing.
	Uplifting story, John.
	Uplifting story.
	Some magic numbers for you before we get out of here.
	33 high-ranking SEC workers had to be counseled or disciplined for watching porn at work.
	Yeah.
	Texas man sentenced this week in federal court to 33 years in prison for his part in a street-hurt child pornography ring that was broken up more than six years ago.
	And this has to be the most emailed one I received.
	I've just got to open up the page here.
	As we look at the number of Kinect devices sold...
	It's not quite the right number but it's good enough.
	133,333 units per day of the Kinect.
	That's the three cameras you now have in your home.
	Yeah, the ones that can be accessed remotely and then they can look at everything in your house and they can do calculations on how much money you spend and all the rest of it.
	And what you're doing, where you're moving.
	You know, I showed this app on the Big App Show.
	Actually, I've recorded it.
	I haven't shown it yet.
	It's called Into Something.
	I forget what it's called.
	And it's an app that you turn it up.
	It's like SoundHound or Shazam for television.
	And you hold it up to the television with the sound on, and then it recognizes what show you're watching.
	And it goes ding, and then it shows how many other people are watching the same show.
	And why would you want such an app?
	I don't want the app.
	I'm just saying that this capability exists.
	Yeah, and that's what they do with these things.
	Well, what they do is, you know, you've got your Google Voice thing, right, integrated into your browser, which they can turn on remotely whenever they want, and it's innocuous right now, but, you know, they turn it on, and while you're surfing around with the television on, they start showing you ads that relate to that.
	I guarantee you this is happening.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, that's the way there's the future.
	Hey, everybody!
	Hot Pocket!
	That's right.
	I'm getting me some Hot Pocket ads while watching Hot Pockets.
	Some foots in the news.
	Oh, did we report on the foot from last week?
	I don't remember.
	Is this the Powell River?
	The one that came up in Vancouver?
	Yeah.
	No, we didn't.
	There were a couple.
	I think we forgot to report on it.
	It came last week.
	It was last show.
	Well, if you go to noagendafoots.com, everything has been tracked meticulously.
	We are the only media outlet that tracks the foots in the oceans that are washing up on shore.
	On the west coast, mostly.
	There was one that washed up, and they said it wasn't a human foot.
	It was like the foot of a sea lion.
	Like, what is the sea lion doing wearing a Nike?
	That's crazy.
	It's...
	Yeah, so anyway, another foot showed up.
	In a tennis shoe.
	The Powell River.
	Powell River, Vancouver.
	And I was pointing out, I think in the email when we went back and forth on this, is that the Canadians, they're documenting the feet that wash up there, but just like less than 10 miles south of them, where the feet are washing up in Washington State on the same basic area, neither one of these two sizes says, hey, wait a minute.
	This total is a little more than we think.
	We've only washed up six feet in the Puget Sound and the Canadians have about eight.
	Foots.
	Foots.
	Speaking of the Canadians, you know we're doing a joint exercise.
	Off the coast of Southern California?
	Any exercises down there?
	I don't want to say too much.
	Let me tell you exactly what it is.
	Hold on a second.
	The Army, the CIA, and the Canadians.
	As you know, we now have a deal where if there's an emergency, then here, then the Canadian Army can come into our streets, which is a nice way to avoid posse commentatus.
	Right.
	Plus, it's like the spy operations.
	You let the MI6 spy on Americans, and then we'll spy on the British for them.
	Army officials preparing to conduct what they say is a rare training event involving the U.S. military, the CIA, Canadian officers, and other government agencies.
	The Joint Intermediate Staff Planning Exercise, better known as JISPIC, will be held March 21st to 25th at Fort Leavenworth's Lewis and Clark Center, home of the Army Command and General Staff College, blah, blah, blah.
	It's a week-long event designed to encourage participants to confront the challenges and uncertainties of joint interagency and multinational operations.
	I'd say get ready for some false flag, is what I'd say.
	But Kansas City, there's nothing going on there.
	What do you think?
	There better not be.
	And meanwhile, Gitmo Nation East, I was just talking to my daughter who is coming back in like two weeks.
	She's been over in Amsterdam and in London.
	And her friends are freaking out, John.
	There's like no work.
	There's no jobs.
	There's nothing.
	Everything sucks.
	Everything blows.
	And people are starting to protest.
	There's an outfit now who...
	Go away.
	Go away.
	Hundreds of council tax...
	This is like city tax.
	Council tax protesters storm courtroom and attempt to make citizens arrest of judge.
	And these guys have t-shirts that say, I'm not your slave.
	I'm not your slave.
	We are one.
	I'm not your slave.
	This is good.
	This is a good thing.
	Because you are, of course, slaves.
	But they're people who can't pay the council tax.
	And they're grabbing judges now.
	And apparently there's a huge strike planned.
	A million people.
	Schools, universities, courts, job centers, which are very busy these days, could all be shut down in June in response to their pensions going away.
	This is happening everywhere.
	Everywhere, everyone's pensions would be...
	Of course, there's no money anymore in the pensions.
	Even the CIA pension fund is broke.
	Did you know that?
	How can that be?
	I know.
	I know.
	They messed it up.
	Well, hey, agents are slaves, too.
	And let's be honest.
	And in Greece, new numbers, youth unemployment increased from 28.9% to 38%.
	Oh my god.
	So...
	Anything good?
	No, there's nothing good.
	This is depressing.
	You want to do a third show?
	You're nuts.
	I think, well, then we might find some good stuff if we do a third show.
	The more work we do, the worse it gets.
	No, there's got to be some shimmering light.
	Maybe not.
	Maybe Charlie Sheen is literally the only shining light that we have.
	Well, I have to say, you know, I have to say he's become...
	I think that Dennis Miller was on the other day.
	He has it right.
	Sheen is actually extremely entertaining.
	He's getting there.
	His show has gotten a lot better now that he ditched the whole crew idea.
	Yeah, and he just sits in rants.
	Yeah, that's...
	It's like a nutball.
	Gee, he might be a guest on this show.
	Well, we don't have guests.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Well, anyway, if you think that you could up your giving level and if we could do it, I'd be happy to hear from people.
	But we'd have to double.
	We'd have to double.
	We should probably do an occasional show.
	We also have to do, we never have done the primer.
	Primer, yeah.
	I'm spent.
	I'm depleted.
	This human resource is empty.
	Well, thanks for listening, everybody.
	Hope you had some enjoyment.
	Hope you will consider us with some value for value because it's what we do so you don't have to.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I am the lone wolf known as Adam Curry.
	And White Dog here from Northern Silicon Valley signing off.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service.
	Stay tuned for Mr.
	Oil with crude oil right here on No Agenda.
