Time Text
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
And it's Thursday, April 7th, 2011.
Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 293.
This is No Agenda.
Shadowing the puppet theater from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gitmo Nation West, here in the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I have successfully returned from Gitmo Nation glass buildings, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
You know, I got a couple comments about that.
People from Brooklyn are a little perturbed about your categorization of New York being Gitmo Nation glass buildings, where we do have Gitmo Nation Studio 52.
Or what was it?
Odyssey 2000 in Brooklyn.
I wasn't in Brooklyn.
I know, but it's like New York is, you could say Manhattan.
I said get monation glass buildings.
That is Manhattan.
In the morning to you, John, and all ships at sea.
Wait!
And boots on the ground.
We have boots on the ground, John.
Did you know that?
In Libya?
No, it's bullcrap.
There's no way.
Excuse me?
No, no, no.
Obama said there'd be no boots on the ground.
That means there's no boots on the ground.
We have boots on the ground.
Angelina Jolie is now at the Libyan-Tunisian border.
What the hell is she doing there?
She's boots on the ground!
These boots are made for walking boots.
She's there with the refugees, like, patting them on the head and stuff.
Just the beginning.
We're waiting for the false flag, and then we'll have the real boots on the ground.
No doubt that's coming.
Oh, man.
You know what?
Let's just mention this.
We have a lot of listeners who have...
We had a lot of email this week.
Yeah, I'm not kidding.
A couple of things.
One, the Glenn Beck prediction we made, what, six months ago?
Yeah, I mean, to a T, right?
Right down to Judge Napolitano taking over.
It's like, whoa!
That was good!
It was ridiculous.
And there's, you know, of course, the eight-year-old who was gassed and beaten, I guess, by the cops.
It was pepper sprayed.
Pepper sprayed.
Pepper sprayed, yeah.
Heaven forbid.
Did we predict that?
I don't...
You've got to look in the book.
I don't remember that.
That's the kind of thing that's going on.
So, you know, we have...
The ease in which we just can see this stuff coming and...
It's actually kind of, now it's getting a little ridiculous.
Well, yeah, no.
Take a look at what's going on.
We just look at the history.
There was a very interesting couple of things that happened in the last couple of days on the MSM, the mainstream media station.
Really?
There was something interesting on TV? Yeah, what was interesting is Jesse Ventura is selling a book.
I got to tell you that, and I'm sure that we both pulled similar clips, I think we need to analyze a little bit what's going on with him, because first of all, you could have Jesse Ventura knock off a hundred pounds, put some hair on his head, and get rid of the stupid Indian jacket, and it's me.
Literally.
And although he's also got a little bit of...
But you have a more mellifluous voice.
He's...
He's, you know, from all those years of screaming in the microphone as a wrestler.
Right.
You know, he's really...
His vocal cords are shot.
I did like the Pierce Morgan interview, though.
I thought that was...
No, I didn't see that one.
Oh, you didn't see...
That was the best.
No, I got the...
Here's the ones I got.
I got the Jess...
I got the...
Was it Napolitano?
No, was it Napolitano?
I don't know.
You'd have to listen to it.
But I got the Joy Behar.
Oh, I haven't seen that one.
With him, which is ridiculous.
Is that the...
We want to play that?
Is that...
Well, Joy Behar...
The clip is title...
Let me see.
What is the clip title?
Let me think.
Joy Behar is an idiot.
Ah, that's right.
Yeah.
That's where the clip is titled.
She is all of a sudden asking him about policies.
This woman, she's about 70.
People don't realize how old she is.
Is she really?
By the way, does it matter?
Let's not be ageist or anything.
It does when you act like an old lady.
And she's, I mean, Nancy Pelosi, I think, is 71.
I think Behar's just a little younger than she is.
And she has had a million facelifts or something, or a good makeup person.
But when she gets down to, when it gets down to, you start to hear the old lady.
She's asking him, and then what do you do?
And old lady questions.
And so this is like her worries.
I don't like oral sex.
She's worried sick about the government shutting down, and so she's grilling Ventura as though he's an expert on the subject when he's only there to talk about his book.
But the whole thing deteriorated in such a way that I just had to deem this woman an idiot and the clip an idiot clip.
I mean, again, let me bring the troops into that.
Will they get paid if there's a government shutdown?
Sure they will.
They will?
Yeah, I'm sure they will because they're essential.
They're essential.
Yeah, because they fall under defense.
I see, but old people...
Old people aren't essential.
Even if their lives are essential.
Hey, John, just so you know, old people aren't essential.
I love it.
That's the government.
Yeah.
No, I disagree with it.
But, yeah, what they're saying is the military is essential, national defense is essential, but the old people, well, maybe they look at it this way.
If a few of them kick the bucket, they won't have to pay out the Social Security no more, and it'll help the budget.
Now, talk about a conspiracy.
But, I mean, what about babies and young people who won't get formula because their parents are not getting food stamps?
Well...
Think about the children.
What an idiot.
She is such an idiot.
Well, then let me take a left turn here for a second, because this is, of course, the top of the news.
We had Boehner just speak live on the TV about the government shutdown.
Let me just tell you, the government shutdown, it's a smokescreen and it's bullcrap.
That is not what's at issue.
What's at issue is...
It's May 16th.
And little Timmy Geithner came before a congressional panel earlier this week to talk about it.
And in no uncertain terms, and I actually have two clips.
First he tells us when it could happen and what could happen.
Then he tells us about how we're all going to die if it happens.
And that's the raising of the debt limit.
It's time once again, because the United States of Gitmo Nation You're right to say that...
In the next several weeks, Congress will run out of room under the debt limit and be forced to raise the basic debt limit.
You asked the question, what happens if we do not, if Congress does not raise the debt limit?
As I said in my recent letters and as all my predecessors have said, the consequences of that would be catastrophic to the United States.
Default by the United States would precipitate a crisis worse than the one we just went through.
I think it would make the crisis we went through look...
Modest in comparison.
It would force us, of course, to cut critical payments to our seniors, and it would be a reckless and irresponsible act to this country, and I find it inconceivable that the Congress would not act to increase the limit, and of course I welcome very much the fact that...
All the leaders of both parties in both houses of Congress have reaffirmed the importance of making sure that this country, the United States of America, will meet its obligations.
That means our payments, our credit card payments are due.
Of course, that requires Congress to act in a timely manner.
You know, you're listening to a guy who sounds like the leave it to beaver kid.
He is the Leave it to Beaver kid all grown up.
He's the Wally Cleaver of finance.
But they don't stop.
They keep going back.
And again, this is not being covered at all.
It's all about abortion.
Bull crap.
That's not what it's about.
They're covering up this little fact.
So, Timmy, little Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, what will happen if we don't raise the debt, if we don't give you the opportunity to go to the Federal Reserve, your Uber Lord, Ben Bernanke, To print more money.
What will happen, Timmy?
Again, it will be catastrophic.
I mean, you will call into question, if you call into question the willingness of the government of the United States to meet its obligations, you will shake the basic foundations of the entire global financial system.
It is inconceivable that America will do that.
And I'm, of course, totally confident that Congress will act.
I love when someone says, I'm confident.
It's always nice to stutter on that one, Timmy.
To avoid that, but again, to think about it in a direct sense, what it does is it will raise dramatically the borrowing cost permanently for all Americans.
Every business, for a very long period of time, would raise a much higher cost of borrowing Every family would raise a much higher cost of borrowing.
Unemployment would rise dramatically.
Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of businesses would fail.
And of course you would shake the confidence of the world in U.S. financial assets and treasuries.
It would be a deeply irresponsible act.
Again, inconceivable.
Sounds like a party to me.
You know what's funny is that the logic is elusive because...
If you're looking from the outside looking in, you're going to see one of two things.
One, they're going to raise the debt limit, which seems irresponsible.
Or you're going to say, look, we're going to batten down the hatches.
We're going to live within our means.
We're going to pay back our debts.
We're going to do what any normal person would do.
We can't just keep extending this situation so it's worse every year.
Wouldn't the opposite of what he says be true?
Yeah, duh.
Yeah, this is how all families get out of debt, is we just open up a new credit card.
And it's perfect.
By the way, in my never-ending quest to see if I can exist, I went to our bank, Mechanics Bank, declined.
You declined?
But they go to a...
Yeah, they're outsourcing the whole process.
But you know what the reason is?
No sufficient information on file.
Huh.
Yeah.
I don't exist.
Which is kind of good, I guess.
Yeah, well, it makes it tougher for the...
But, you know, the thing is, the only plastic we have is our debit card, which I enjoy immensely because there's no temptation or anything.
But now there's rumblings on the hill that banks will somehow get some ruling that they can limit debit card purchases to $100.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
That's ridiculous.
So it'll be like, you know, if I'm going shopping at Whole Foods, which is the only place...
Yeah, there you go.
You're doomed.
I have to take a big wad of cash, you know, for my $147 purchase.
That's the way they want to play it, because they're trying to get away from the cash thing.
It's just going to push people back towards cash.
I don't see a problem with that.
We've actually taken the...
The approach, at least we've tried to, I still have a debit card in American Express, but we've taken the approach, let's try to spend cash rather than anything else because when you're sitting there buying stuff and you're thumbing out the 20s, you'd think twice about, wait, do I really need to spend this much money?
It's a different perspective on spending when you're using cash.
You won't spend as much.
I just need different pants to carry these wads of dollar bills.
I'll carry out a bunch of 50s.
Almost everybody takes a 50 nowadays.
You know what the mob's supposed to do?
I literally never have more than like 80 bucks on me.
Well, change your ways.
No, I don't need to spend more.
In fact, I never go anywhere.
I'm up here all day watching freaking C-SPAN. What are you talking about?
The only reason I have 20s is when my daughter hits me up.
She's like, hey dad, I need some money.
Eh, here's 20.
So you reel off a big 20.
I peel off a big 20 for it.
Here sweetie, don't spend it all in one place.
Don't spend it all in one place.
So let me just get back to Jesse, because the interview that I enjoyed immensely, although I did not see it live, was him on Pierce Morgan.
Now, of course, Pierce has a completely mind-controlled MKUltra douche slave.
A douche slave.
A douche slave.
He can't just be a slave or a douche bagger.
No, no.
He's a douche slave.
And whose brother just completed a seven-month tour in Afghanistan.
He's a British commander or whatever.
And the whole show is phenomenally entertaining.
Although, unfortunately, Jesse, his head starts to shake and he starts to rock back and forth like Bill Gates.
He looks like a nincompoop.
And he's wearing his New Mexico...
I don't know what the deal is with this outfit.
By the way, he wore that exact same outfit on Joy Behar and Napolitano.
That's all he wears.
If he would wear a suit, you know, and then people might take him a little more seriously.
I think the whole thing is just like, okay, let's laugh at the conspiracy theorists, conspiracy theorists, conspiracy theorists.
And here he is about the true reason for us being in Afghanistan.
And Piers Morgan refutes this.
He denounces Jesse.
Do you want to know why we're in Afghanistan?
I'm fascinated.
It came to me six months ago when a story came out that they found a vein of lithium there that they say is worth a trillion dollars.
Now, what is lithium used for?
Every cell phone, every computer, and soon-to-be electric cars.
So why don't they just, Piers, tell me the truth.
We're going there to get lithium so that we can live like we live.
Don't sit and try to sell me to give democracy to the world.
Jesse, it sounds a bit like you've been on lithium.
Hold on a second.
You know, if you're going to do some material, that's a shtick, right?
So he's going to do that joke.
So he sees this dimension of Lizzie.
So instead of, he decides to just completely blow his timing by trying to interrupt Jesse.
But Jesse, I've got a joke here.
My joke is coming.
Yeah.
My joke is coming.
He should have just let Jesse go on and on and then at the very end he could have dropped that bomb.
It would have been funny.
I know.
It's because the producer was saying in his ear, tell him he's on lithium.
He's on lithium.
He's on lithium.
Pierce, say it.
Say it.
Say it.
And he couldn't wait because Pierce is an idiot.
He is totally an idiot.
And it continues.
You can't seriously imagine we've gone to war in Afghanistan over lithium.
Are you serious?
I am serious.
My brother just served a seven-month tour of Afghanistan.
I am serious.
He did not risk his life for lithium.
What did he risk it for?
What did he risk it for is the question.
Well, that's what Jesse just said.
What did he risk it for?
And here it comes.
Because everybody knows.
Every...
John!
Everybody knows.
The science is in.
Everybody knows.
Osama Bin Laden was training people to commit atrocities in Afghanistan.
We all know that.
That's a fact.
You're talking to the wrong guy.
It's a fact.
Well, your conspiracy theorist.
Wait a minute.
I don't believe 911.
But you don't believe in anything.
No, I believe in...
You believe everything has an ulterior motive.
Not true.
And I mean, we could just play the whole hour.
It was fantastic.
It really, really was.
Oh, I missed that one.
That was a winner then, yeah.
That's probably the best of the group.
In the show notes, noagendashow.com is where you can find a link to a YouTube video for as long as it lasts, of course, with the entire interview from Jesse.
And you listen to it as like, yeah, that's what I said.
Just put some hair on the guy, take 100 pounds off, and maybe get a nice jacket or something, not like a suit jacket.
And it's me.
Well, you're basically in line with most of his thing, although a lot of it is like, you know, he's a little too, he's pretty like a knee-jerk conspiracy guy.
I mean, he won't, he doesn't look at the mechanisms that are creating the situation.
He's just, you know, he's basically like the guy who's a diagnostician.
He says, well, this is the problem, this is the problem, but he doesn't look at the real crux of the issue, which is what we do on this show, which is try to see how this, how it goes from A to B. And you're right, because his book is 68 Documents Your Government Doesn't Want You to See, and it goes straight from the documents to the knee-jerk.
And it's unfortunate.
It really is, because I do believe his heart's in the right place.
By the way, the guy was a mayor, he was a congressman, Navy SEAL. I mean, this is not your typical idiot.
No, he's not an idiot.
And he's a good businessman.
He made tons of money as a wrestler.
Yeah, absolutely.
Can I give you an example of what we do on our show?
Because I broke some news, which of course absolutely went nowhere.
Which is what we do on this show.
I broke a story which has gotten zero attention.
Zero.
Where did you break this story?
On Twitter?
On my blog.
On Twitter.
Alright, so you know what I'm always reading?
I'm always reading the executive orders, right?
Every single day I check to see if there's a news.
Oh, you find another winner?
Yeah, a fantastic one.
Remember, this is coming from the winner of the Transparency Award, President George W. Obama.
The secret award he got in a close meeting.
So he releases an executive order, which is actually a collection of amendments to existing executive orders.
And this is very interesting, because this is when my juices start to flow.
I'm like, oh yeah, I get to go research these other documents.
What is being changed?
And so there's a couple interesting ones in there, but of particular note is Section 6 of this new executive order, which simply states, Executive Order 13507 of April 8, 2009, is hereby revoked.
I'm like, okay, so he's pulling something back.
Let's go check it out.
Does anybody find that these executive orders are much like a fatwa?
A fatwa?
A fatwa, the things that the Muslim clerics do.
They're the one that they do with Salman Rushdie.
I declare this, I declare that.
Proclamation!
I denounce Executive Order 13507, which I put in place.
So I go look at Executive Order 13507, which was the creation or establishment of the White House Office of Health Reform.
Now, this Office of Health Reform was created specifically to advise the President on the Obamacare health bill.
And it was headed by a woman named Nancy Ann DeParli, who at the time drew a lot of criticism because she had served on corporate boards of medical companies and insurance companies.
She was during the Clinton administration, received more than $6 million as a director of half a dozen companies that actually faced federal investigations, whistleblower lawsuits, all kinds of bull crap, right?
And she got a lot of heat for being the leader of the White House Office of Health Reform because of all of her industry connections.
So here's what I'm like.
Why would he abolish that?
I mean, it's not like everything's over, right?
There's still debate.
People are trying to make changes to this.
So I come across this news article from a couple weeks ago.
House Republicans...
Said they were, quote, concerned and disappointed by the administration's refusal to provide in-depth documentation about the secret health care reform meetings, which Nancy and DeParli had as part of the Office of Health Reform.
Remember that?
Everyone was in there and they're doing little secret handshakes to write the bill?
Yeah, right.
There's a bunch of secret handshakes.
This, by the way, is in complete violation of Obama's promise.
Transparency, right.
They're going to have everything on C-SPAN. Yeah, yeah.
So, White House counsel, because they got their own lawyer, Bob Bauer says, you know, to provide all possible information encompassed by your request, every meeting, briefing, or telephone call would constitute a vast and expensive undertaking.
We just cannot comply.
So, obviously they've got something to hide.
So what do you do?
You just get rid of the whole thing.
One stroke of the pen.
This is revoked.
This office no longer exists.
Sorry.
There's no more evidence.
Gone.
Huh.
And where's the reporting on this?
Well, it's kind of boring.
Boring?
It's called hiding evidence.
Isn't that boring?
It's boring.
It's not as good as Jesse going on and on.
Yeah, but it's true.
Well, too late now.
Did I bore you with that one?
I'm sorry.
No, actually, I thought it was kind of interesting.
It was an interesting ploy.
No wonder my story didn't go viral.
It didn't go viral?
You expected it to?
I should have put Justin Bieber in there.
I should have put a Justin Bieber thing in there.
Damn, I missed the opportunity.
Damn, damn, damn me.
Oh, man.
All right, so before we start thanking a couple people who have made this program possible, I have a little clip here from the former leader of our national treasure.
Oh, you got the clip, too.
Vivian Schiller.
Do you want to do it now or do you want to hold it?
Our friend Vivian Schiller.
Well, I don't know what your clip is.
Mine is a clip where she's whining about getting busted.
Yeah, that's probably the same clip.
Yeah, why don't you play it?
Alright, so what I find...
Well, we'll play it and then we'll discuss.
These hidden video cameras.
How concerned are you about this?
And in particular, the way this one has gone down and continues to be.
Extremely concerned.
I think it's an abomination.
I mean, this kind of tactic, for somebody to attach the word...
Some are calling this a form of journalism.
This is not journalism.
Wait a minute.
So we go undercover and we bust someone doing unscrupulous things.
That's not journalism?
No, 60 Minutes has never done that, have they?
No.
60 Minutes has never walked into a repair shop claiming to be an owner of some piece of faulty equipment and then watched the guy scam him with a hidden camera.
60 Minutes has never done that, have they?
Never, never.
That's not journalism.
You should...
You don't ensnare people.
You don't entrap people with hidden cameras.
No!
You never do that!
That's not journalism!
You never do that!
You're supposed to read the press release!
This is not journalism the way we do it!
You don't pretend to be somebody who you're not.
Like a Russian spy leading the national treasure?
You don't pretend?
I don't know what this is, but it's got nothing to do with anything that resembles the journalism that I know.
The journalism I know, which is reading press releases.
The journalism I know.
Speaking of such, I guess one of our producers tweeted Andy Carvin and said, hey, you know, you guys treat underwriters as advertisers.
And he got into this whole Twitter flame war, sending the clips back and forth, to which I guess the end result was Andy Carvin saying, well, underwriters and advertisers, there's a big difference because we don't promote products or services from our underwriters.
What?!
I was like, what?
Why is this guy on?
Is he high?
I guess so.
It's like, have you ever listened to NPR? If you want GoDaddy for a cheap domain name, use code NPR3. I mean, please.
Yeah, they do Carbonite ads on NPR. Unbelievable.
And they have codes.
Give me a break.
All right, John.
All right, we've got a few people to thank.
We have some executive producers, and we treat our executive producers as advertisers.
Whatever you want to call them.
They're advertising their skills as people.
Yes, thank you.
And they are not the product.
This show is the product.
That's the difference.
People keep making the mistake when they make the debate.
You always got to remember, when you're listening to this show or when you're reading a magazine or whatever you're doing, are you the product?
In this case, no way.
And you don't want to be the product, by the way.
You're being exploited when you're the product.
Anyway, we talked about this in depth in one of the previous shows.
You can listen to that.
I want to thank David Hornbeck III for giving us $666.66, and we miscategorized him.
And apparently, according to him, I didn't go back to look, but he claims that I called him David Hornbeck.
I think it showed up that way.
I think he did.
And I think it was incorrect on the spreadsheet.
We got a lot of issues with it.
I mean, it's hard.
Names are very, very hard.
It's a hard thing.
Anyway, so David Hornbeck III becomes a knight, and we're going to make him an executive producer of today's show, just as a make good.
Then we have actually one, two, three standalone executive producers, a couple of co-executive producers, and one associate executive producer and member of the 293 Club.
So, David Hornbeck is number one.
Then we have Nathan Marshall, Grand Forks, North Dakota, who gave us or contributed $111.10, which in the morning I've donated 111 because I was born in 91 and I'm turning 20.
He's 20 years old and he can afford becoming a knight on the spot.
I want to mention that to people out there who have been on the fence to help us.
Another 11 for my birthday, plus my birth month, April 7th.
If you guys chip in the...
He's April 7th.
He's got a birthday call up.
Put him on the list.
Yeah, he's on the list, I think.
I think he's there.
If you guys chip in the last cent, I will have one, one, one.
We'll do it.
Toss in the last penny.
Oh, yeah, I got that.
Here we go.
There it is.
What's his name?
Nathan Marshall?
He's not even on the list.
He's right there, number three on the spreadsheet.
Yeah, but he's not on the birthday list.
$111.11, that's why I mentioned it.
Anyway, so he essentially gave us $1,111.11 because you gave him the penny.
And he's a sir.
He shows the hard facts and keeps me sane.
Thank you very much.
That's what we do.
I keep bringing your talking points up in conversation, so I'm giving you value for value since I've given at least $300.
I'd like to be added as a member of the $300 Club.
Okay, no problem.
Not that.
My last request for this is some super karma and the slave song.
The ring size is 11.
The slave song?
Don't we have a slave song?
Yeah.
You kind of catch me off guard here.
First, let me get him some karma because I got that always handy, obviously.
You've got karma.
We can do the slave song later.
It's around.
Okay, we'll save the Slave Song for him.
Francis Hardaway, Phoenix, Arizona, 330-333.
Hello, Canvas, Bridgeport, Connecticut, $300, member of the 300 Club.
Anonymous guy from Conifer, Colorado, 300.
Sir, or Baron, what am I saying?
Baron von Pelsmacher came in to join the 293 Club.
Appreciate that very much from Belgium.
And that will be our executive producers for today's show, number 293.
And we're heading on toward the 300, show 300.
I want everybody to think about helping us there with a donation of $300 or a layaway of $300, $30 a month.
Let me just check.
Hello Canvas is executive producer and then Baron von Pelsmarkers is associate?
Yeah.
And Hello Canvas and Anonymous Guy are co-executive producers, which is like, okay.
What's Hello Canvas?
I don't know.
I don't think I have anything else.
Google Hello Canvas and I'm sure you'll find it.
Okay.
So remember, Dvorak.org slash NA. And we really appreciate the help.
We really appreciate a lot of it.
We need the help and we appreciate it.
And Dvorak.org slash NA. ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. Also, NoAgendaNation.com slash donate or slash NA. And you can also go to NoAgendaShow.com and you can always find a link there to the donation page.
Okay, a couple of PR mentions.
We have a number of good ones.
First of all, there's yet another iPhone game out of which proceeds go to the show.
This is the No Agenda Federation iPhone game, which I played.
It's kind of funny, where essentially you've got to make connections between knights in your head or my head.
It's cool.
I like it.
It's a good little game.
I have to say, I didn't know it was installable on Chrome, but apparently works on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.
The No Agenda BS filter, John, you have to install this thing.
It is hilarious.
So I just installed it on my browser, and I'm just reading through news, and when you're on WhiteHouse.gov, and they're talking about, it's like, you know, the president of Gitmo Nation Taco...
Is he Lucy Napolitano showing up?
It's hilarious.
And I put the link in once again in the show notes, NoAgendaShow.com, because it's very, very funny.
A couple of domain name forwards, NoAgendaMinutemen and DoubleNicholsOnTheDime.com, now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com, which is great.
NoagendaSquirrel.com.
You could have just waited for that one to show up, right?
Yeah.
NoOilLeftBehind.com, which I think is also kind of a nice one.
NoAgendaThink.com.
I have DetectiveDookie.com.
I like that NoOilLeftBehind.
It's nice, isn't it?
Yeah.
So, DetectiveDookie.com slash donate now points to Dvorak.org slash donate.
The same for ShutUpSlaves.com slash donate.
And then I have to say, this is probably the domain name of the day, BarackObama2011.com.
That is pretty good.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not 2012, obviously.
Right, but they have that one.
But I can see people making the mistake.
I kind of like that one.
Yeah, Barack Obama, because someone would make the mistake, because he's running already, and it's only what, you know?
Exactly.
So, I mean, he's two years ahead of the game, and he apparently needs a bill.
He's going to get a...
The last election before these elections with Obama, the amount of money the president would gather to win was $300 million.
Obama's going for a billion to get reelected, which will be the biggest amount of money in the history of the game to get reelected.
How does that work?
Where did you get a billion dollars from?
I think, to be honest about it, you're going to see a lot of anonymous donations.
I think he's getting it from overseas.
I think he's sneaking it into the country with these $5, $10...
You've set up a bot.
I mean, let's face it.
The robots out there can do this kind of thing now.
You set up a bot with a bunch of rotating IP addresses.
You know how that could work.
And then...
You have a bunch of money, you have a cash, millions and millions of dollars, and you start pumping it into the campaign anonymously from all sorts of different directions.
It all looks legit because they're all USA IP addresses.
And you just pump, pump, pump, and it could all come from Saudi Arabia for all we know.
These anonymous, wide-open donations are so corruptible in the Internet age.
It's something I should probably write about in a column about the potential to do this.
I need to talk to a couple of sysadmins.
Anybody out there listening?
- Anybody listening to me right now that knows how this could be done, I want to hear from you, john@dvorak.org.
And I think he did it with his last run up.
I think he's getting money and I think Clinton's the guy who perfected this idea.
His library is totally financed.
They won't say where the money is.
Where do you get all this money for this library?
It's from Saudi Arabia and other places.
And so I think that it's extremely easy for him to collect this money in the internet age and you're going to see all of it.
Oh, it's just all these individuals.
Can you imagine some poor person in the middle of nowhere saying, well, this guy's got a billion dollars.
I'm going to give him five bucks.
That's bullcrap.
Hold on a second, John.
I just want to thank, before we get into that, I want to thank our billionaires who are financing us and the show and the cause.
David Hornbeck III, Nathan Marshall, Francine Hardaway, hello Canvas, and Baron Steven von Pelsmacher.
Did I get everyone there?
I think I got everybody.
Yeah, you got everybody.
Thank you so much.
You now have official credits.
They'll be listed in the show notes, noagendershow.com, and other places around the net, like barackobama2011.com, then shutupslaves.com, and of course, seanhannity.com.
And in addition to that, unlike the phonies in Hollywood who do give out credits for financing their projects, we'll vouch for you.
Just have them call and we'll take care of you, no problem.
Everybody else out there, we've got a formula.
We need you to go out and propagate it.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
World.
Order.
Say it with me loud and loud.
Shut up, please!
Yeah, a billion dollars.
I wonder what that's for.
Oh, that's right, to buy commercials.
So, of course, you know, it's so disgusting.
The whole system is so wrong.
Yes, so the mainstream media is going to be all pro-Obama.
Yeah, you know, but they're going to play it real close to the vest.
I mean, to do it right, if you're a big network, a TV network, you've got to create polls that show it's a tight race, and you've got to spend more money to win.
And so, you know, the polls will come out, it's going to be tight, because if it was a runaway...
With a no-problem situation, then you wouldn't need to spend so much money at the networks.
I mean, the whole thing, it's a corrupt system.
And I don't think it's ever going to be changed because the people who would complain the most about it are the media.
But the media is not going to cut their own throats by losing all that advertising.
So they want it this way.
I'm thinking of setting up a few websites that just do nothing but run ads.
Political ads.
I saw the Huffington Post.
Someone sent me a link and it went to Huffington Post.
There was a full page takeover for Barack Obama 2012.
Full page, already, you know, full page takeover.
Like, okay.
You know, the funny thing is, is why is there a, he's starting so early, I think he can burn himself out.
I mean, I don't know if this is a good strategy.
This is like the rabbit in the, you know, you have the Kentucky Derby and there's always some horse that just runs out and goes crazy.
He's always called the rabbit and he takes off like a rocket and then poops out at the end and some other horses pass him up.
I mean, I don't know if this is a great strategy.
I mean, is he that worried?
Is Obama so worried about losing that he has to start this soon?
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I don't know.
I mean, he's got a lot of negativity out there, so he certainly has a lot of work to do, that's for sure.
You know, it's not like he's the most popular guy right now.
And did you see that first campaign spot with the guy with the bug eyes?
Yeah.
You're sitting on his porch with his eyes like MKUltra to death.
The guy's big bug eyes.
I don't agree with him, but I'm going to vote for him because I like the man.
I do.
It's like his eyes are popping out of his head.
Like, okay, yeah, I identify with that.
You know, the secret to these things is you always want to put people on television who you can identify with, which is why you see the nurse, you know, the doctor, the fireman, you know, the garbage, I'm sorry, the sanitation worker, you know, and they're like, yeah, I'm voting for him.
You know, so you're like, hey, that's my dude, that's my brother.
I don't know.
By the way, I do want to give a very heartfelt...
I want to send some karma, actually, to our brothers and sisters in Japan.
Man, this country has been taken down.
The Toyota plant is going to close next week here in the U.S. because they can't get parts.
All of the gaijins, which are essentially the foreigners living in Japan, they're now called flyjins because they've all left.
The whole place is shutting down.
They had another earthquake this morning.
Which, by the way, beside the fact that this is no longer the Richter scale, and no one knows exactly what, and the measurements are all different, and it's bull crap.
Regardless of that, when you see 7.4 and think, wow, that's only 1.6 away from 9.
Yeah, but it's a factor of like, it could be a factor of 100,000.
The difference between a 7 and a 9.
So don't think that that's the same thing.
And immediately, you know, the stock market slides.
7.4 is a pretty nasty equation.
Yeah, but we had a 6.4 in Mexico.
You didn't even know about it.
That happened this morning, too.
These are not Richter scales anymore, John.
We know that.
We know that they changed the scale that's not Richter scale, and it's something different, and it's not based upon the type of measurements they used to make.
Everything's changed.
It's all...
This is part of the whole...
Normally I'd keep this for the second half of the show.
Oh no.
But this is an official document.
You know how I love me some official documents.
Because I was kind of...
When I talk about the earthquake machine, people are like...
Crackpot!
Why don't you go live with Jesse Ventura?
So I pick up the document.
There's an international...
That's what I said.
That was me you were doing.
How is that in person?
You can crack that out together.
So there's international humanitarian law.
There's a treaty.
And specifically, I will refer to, and this is on the ICRC.org website.
ICRC stands for International Comité Red Cross.
It's the Red Cross website.
This is an official document.
You can get it today.
And this is the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques signed by every nation that counts on December 10th, 1976.
So we can kind of remember that.
I was alive then.
And let me just read you the pertinent piece from this.
You can read the whole document.
It is the understanding of the committee that the following examples are illustrative of phenomena that could be caused by the use of environmental modification techniques, as defined in Article 2 of the Convention.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, an upset in the ecological balance of a region, changes in weather patterns like clouds, precipitation, cyclones of various types, and tornadic storms, changes in climate patterns, changes in ocean currents, changes in the state of the ozone layer, and changes in the state of the ionosphere. changes in the state of the ozone layer, and changes Now, I ask you, if we have to have an agreement not to mess with those things, don't you think it's possible that people can mess with those things?
On the surface it would appear so.
On the surface.
Dude!
It's like, almost like, hey, let's not do any atomic bombs, okay?
I promise.
Pinky swear.
So what's your point?
And my point is that I think that Japan was taken down.
Yeah, but your theory was all different.
I mean, you've got to make up your mind here.
One thing you said, Japan has taken down.
Number two, you say, oh, they've got to buy more of our treasuries.
They can't afford it now.
I mean, so they were taken down for what purpose?
It doesn't make any sense if we want them to buy treasuries.
You think the guy was pushing the button and then sneezed and went, whoa, nine?
I didn't mean to push the button that hard.
I mean, your thesis is crackpot.
Dammit, John, I'm a scientist, not an economist.
And by the way, I wanted to mention something when you played that Geithner clip.
You know, this is the problem.
You know, Geithner and his mumbo-jumbo about how everything's going to collapse if we don't raise the debt ceiling so he can borrow more money or so we can print more dollars is the reason that, you know, the entire Congress is peopled with attorneys.
I don't know if there's an economist in the entire Congress of any sort.
In fact, if you remember during the Obamacare debate, there's a number of doctors, MDs, who are in Congress, and they came forward with all kinds of complaints, and they had all good information.
We cannot have a country led by nothing but bonehead attorneys who don't know anything except how to write laws and interpret the past.
So they can be buffaloed by these guys at the drop of a hat.
I don't understand the problem at all.
I think they should just go to Wachovia and just borrow the money from them.
There you go.
You read about this?
No.
I'm going to hear about it, though.
Yeah, so finally, Wachovia Bank was fined, they got a little slap on the wrist, for laundering, you're going to love this, almost $400 billion in drug money.
Yeah.
Let me just say that again.
$400 billion in drug...
Here, $378.4 billion in drug money...
And they missed it.
They missed all the transactions.
And then they get like some slap on the wrist.
You shouldn't do that anymore.
You've got to tighten up your controls.
You just can't do that.
Which, of course, proves that it wasn't the stimulus.
The reason the banks didn't go down is because they just got more drug money.
The whole thing is all drugged.
Obviously.
This actually came in through Columbia.
By the way, now all of a sudden we have a deal with Columbia?
Do we have the total numbers?
We had that report, that government report, which is very interesting, that comes out every year, showing out where the drugs are coming from and what the values are.
Oh, that's the United Nations report.
I don't know if they've done it yet.
Well, I'd like to know what the total number is now because it's interesting that we're – I've got a little bit I want to do in one of the future shows based on some of the numbers of how much drug money – I mean, how much money is in the drug economy?
Yeah, well, probably a lot.
Well, I know it's a lot.
Are you talking illegal drugs or legal drugs?
What I want to do is I want to calculate what it's costing us to stay in Afghanistan.
And by the way, so I'm watching the CNN with John King, and I'll probably play this clip next show, when he's got this woman who keeps showing up on everywhere.
She's Frances Townsend, former spook, head of the NSA during the Bush administration, kind of a good-looking woman, who obviously is telling, you know, has a perspective.
A perspective of some sort that's based on some agency.
I don't know which one.
I could make a couple of guesses.
And she's like, they're now promoting the fact that supposedly Al-Qaeda is moving into Afghanistan and they must be stopped.
We've got to stay there because they're moving in.
And then they make the argument, and I haven't pieced the clip together properly to prove my point, but I'm going to say the point.
They make the point that They blast Obama for giving a timetable.
They say, there's a timetable.
Once you give a timetable, then everybody's going to pull back and just wait for everyone to leave and then they're going to pour in.
But then they say they're pouring in now and we've got to stop them by increasing the troops or whatever.
But wait, the logic isn't there because if it's true that if you leave a timetable, they pull back, we should have less activity, not more activity.
So what's the point of this more activity if they're all pulling back to wait for us to leave?
So their own argument is working against them if you actually listen to it.
But nobody does, of course.
And so you have this kind of contradictory perspective on what's going on in Afghanistan.
And it's going to, I think, turn out to be an interesting intelligence battle between these different groups.
The Obama side of the agency and the other...
I don't know what's going on.
I don't have the exact...
Well, that's very interesting.
So two things I'll say about that.
One is Bill Gates, our Secretary of Defense.
He was in Iraq.
Robert Gates.
No, it's Bill Gates.
Bill, Robert, Ted, doesn't care, Bill.
Oh, Ted Gates.
Yeah, Ted Gates.
So he's in Iraq, and he's kind of on his farewell tour.
He's waving to everybody.
Yeah, I would like to get one of those t-shirts.
Yeah, the Ted Gates farewell tour, 2011.
And he says, you know, because we're supposed to have everyone out by December 2011, everyone out of Iraq.
And he's saying, this is the funniest thing.
Hey, but weren't we supposed to have everybody out of Iraq last year?
Didn't they all leave?
You can take that to the bank.
No.
We still have, I think, 50,000 non-combat troops and 150,000 contractors.
This is just about the troops.
Forget the contractors.
Because we've got permanent bases there.
This is all theater.
But he actually says, you know, unless Iraq wants us to, but they'd have to ask us, wink, wink.
He's literally like, you know, they've got to ask us if they want us to stay longer.
We can stay longer if they ask us.
You know, it's not all you have to do is ask.
Really, really, really, really, all you've got to do is ask, and then we'll stay a little bit longer.
It's like, excuse me, it's my money.
I don't want to stay any longer there, and besides, we were supposed to leave.
You can take that to the bank.
Liar.
Gates, you liar.
What are you telling me?
I didn't know this, but you mean he's actually saying...
Yes!
The billions of dollars that the taxpayers...
And I've got Highway 80 out here filled with potholes.
Here comes the potholes again.
They're all over the place.
You can't go across the Bay Bridge now and there's potholes all over the place.
They can't fix these potholes, but we can fix potholes in Iraq because the Iraqis want us to.
Hey, I want us to fix the potholes here.
I think my vote counts for more than theirs.
This is ridiculous.
Well, let me give you the full quote from CBS News.
I'll just bring any compromised news organization.
It comes from AP, the really completely compromised news organization, Baghdad.
The Obama administration would keep U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the agreed final withdrawal date of December 31, 2011, if the Iraqi government wanted them.
But, as Ted Gates says, the Iraqis need to decide pretty quickly.
In order for the Pentagon to accommodate the extension.
This is not a deal.
This is a deal.
I'm going to have to talk to my manager.
Hold on a second.
You'll eventually have the deal for the next five minutes.
But after five minutes, the price goes up.
And I'll throw in the AM FM cassette for free.
But you've got to hurry.
Act now.
You've got to hurry.
You're a bunch of used car dealers?
What is the deal?
I'm telling you, it's crazy.
You've got to act now.
Act now.
Act now while stocks last.
While troops last.
Alright, so I have a, we kind of got off track there, but there was some bankster on, I think it was CNBC, might have been the British version, and he says something very interesting about what's playing out here in the United States.
Short clip, but it's always fun to hear these banksters talk about plays and acts and scenes and, you know, scripts and, you know, auditions or whatever.
It's always fun.
It'll all be about the bigger picture, the longer term.
Where does Medicaid go?
Where does Social Security go?
Rather than this sort of horse trading over just this year's budget.
But the challenge, of course, for entitlements is that it's payments to people.
But I must say, Anna, that to me, being in Europe for a few days, the plot in Greece and Portugal sounds an awful lot like the same plot that's going on in the United States, but the characters have different names.
There you go.
The plot.
But the characters have different names.
It's exactly the same.
Duh!
Really?
And then we have this Ivory Coast thing.
Now, this has been interesting.
Ivory Coast affects us in one main way that we actually notice around this lovely time of Easter, and that is if you buy some Easter eggs, you can barely afford them.
And why is this?
It's because most of the world's export, apparently, of cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast.
And the Ivory Coast, which we now, of course, have to call Gitmo Nation Cocoa, you know, there's people getting killed there.
This is not like a good thing that's happening.
And Lucifer Clinton comes out, and she says, you know, basically the whole thing is now Africa or bust.
You know, it's like, we're going all the way.
We've got to get this place.
Secretary of State Lucifer Rodham Clinton says the U.S. is deeply concerned about the situation in the Ivory Coast and reports of human rights abuses and a massacre of more than a thousand people.
By the way, if there's a massacre, I thought we went into Libya to stop a massacre.
We now have an actual massacre and we're doing nothing.
Sunday, in the statement, Lucifer called on Laurent Gagbo, the entrenched, I love this AP reporting, incumbent who lost the November vote to step down immediately.
Because, of course, we have to have the new guy come in.
Alasane Ouattra.
Now, do you know who this guy is, this Alasane Ouattra?
No, but I'm gonna find out.
If the international community gets its way, before long Alassane Ouattara will be in power in Ivory Coast.
The EU has signaled that it's ready to lift sanctions on the country should that happen.
But who is Alassane Ouattara and what will he do for the country which before his current trouble was perhaps best known as the world's largest producer of cocoa?
Patrick Smith is the editor of Africa Confidential.
Thank you for joining us.
Let's start with who is he?
Well, he's a quietly spoken technocrat.
He is a trained economist.
He studied in the United States of America.
And he has been in and out of politics most of his adult life.
In fact, you could say his political career mirrors something of the...
Post-independence history of Ivory Coast.
He served as Prime Minister under the founding president, Felix Hufway-Buany, from 1990 to 1993.
And then after that, after the death of Hufway-Buany, his political fortunes declined rapidly.
Until he's then worked in the IMF in Washington for about ten years.
Ten-year veteran of the IMF, ladies and gentlemen.
Too bad we can't just do a search for keywords on all the broadcasters like IMF or World Bank.
So since this guy's name is...
What a coincidence!
Yeah, I think not.
Coincidence?
I think not!
So since this guy's name is so tough, Alasane Uwatra, I think it's just Audi Quattro is what we call him.
BS Filter guys, Audi Quattro.
Yeah, he assumed office as Deputy Managing Director of the IMF in 1994, Bachelor of Science at Business Administration, Drexel in Philly.
All these guys are from Philly.
Thank you, darling.
It's a key area, yeah.
I mean, seriously, Ph.D. in Economics, University of Pennsylvania, it's like the opposition in Libya.
They're also from Philly.
What's up with Philly, eh?
I don't know.
We have to look into this.
There's something going on with Philly.
It may be one of the branches of whatever the influencers are.
It must be.
Well, of course, it's our capital of freedom, so wouldn't it make sense to have it all there?
Well, I mean, it's like, you know, University of California over here with all the spooks that keep showing up with that, you know, accreditation.
It's just, it catches, you don't notice, because it's not like Harvard, Yale, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Princeton, Harvard, Yale.
You know, it's University of Pennsylvania, Cal Berkeley for the strange, you know, strange outcomes.
Or, you know, people that go there for whatever.
I don't know.
Philly is unknown to me.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, by the way, gold all-time high.
Silver all-time high.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
So what's your point?
Oh, you know, I may not know much about earthquakes, but I'm still holding my gold.
You told lots of people to sell.
I never told anyone to do anything.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
So the cost, in case you're interested, cost of boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan vary, but some researchers place the average bill as high as $1 million per troop per year.
Wow.
Why don't you just give the people the money?
Well, that's been discussed many times.
But, of course, we need the lithium.
We need the lithium crystals.
We need to get the lithium crystals for our battery cars.
I think he's a bit off on that one.
I don't know about it.
We've discussed the minerals and the lithium stuff.
Yeah, but that was discovered long after the fact, long after the poppy field thing was underway and making the real money.
And the real money is in drugs.
I mean, there's more money in drugs than lithium, for God's sake.
Well, but there's a push right now for the battery cars.
By the way, we get tons of interesting emails from people from the NERL, the National Energy Research Labs.
Apparently, they're not quite as organized as we think they are.
We pretty much walk backwards like idiots.
But he says that electric cars would be a boom for our business.
That would be great for us.
And the president literally, I don't have a clip of it unfortunately, but he was talking about his energy policy and the same old thing.
He should bring up that Jon Stewart clip of every single president since we've had television saying, we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
We need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Electric cars are impractical in the long haul unless they can find some way to charge them quickly.
Because if you're driving from here to Los Angeles and the car craps out in 350 miles around Bakersfield someplace, you have to pull in somewhere if it's still running.
Yeah, but it's a slave mobile.
It's only to get to work and back.
It's not for driving.
It's a slave mobile.
And that's why they look ugly, too.
You might just put slave on the side.
Slave not getting laid, mobile.com.
I mean, that's the whole deal.
Yeah, it is a slave.
Yeah, and they are.
They make them, yeah, it's almost like you're a slave and then you're driving around in an ugly car, too.
I mean, they hit you with both things.
It's like, hey, let's see if they'll drive this piece of crap, you know.
Yeah.
But we'll tell them it's the goof for them.
Hey, John, I got a cool idea, man.
I'll tell you what.
We'll put them in slave mobiles, but just to mess with them, we'll make them ugly.
Look at that idiot.
Nissan Leaf is a good example.
I mean, that thing looks like crap.
I mean, it's just a horrible looking vehicle.
Why can't you make it pretty?
Why bother?
Yeah, that's the point.
It just makes it even worse.
Hey, listen to this for a second, John.
Tell me if you can identify the artist in this song.
Wait until he sings.
See if you can identify the artist.
Ah, shit.
Sing.
You should already know by now.
Why would I know?
I can barely hear it and it's like going on forever.
You don't hear it?
You don't know who it is?
I haven't heard him sing.
He's singing now.
And that's how Will he sings.
Wow, should I just tell you?
I can't hear him singing.
I heard nobody singing.
I heard somebody going, oh, whoa, whoa, is it Al Gore?
No, no.
Guess again.
He's singing in French.
That should be a clue.
I have no idea.
This is the new president of Haiti.
Oh, that guy.
As predicted.
Yeah, we predicted that.
Sweet Mickey Martelli.
So the first guy, what was his name?
The first band leader, Wycliffe Jean.
Wycliffe Jean.
He got too big for his britches, and they're like, nah, this guy's not good.
He obviously said something in a meeting they didn't like.
Yeah, he's like, we need some other guy.
Who else is in the band?
Oh, sweet Nicky Martelli.
Yeah, we'll make him president of Haiti.
And so now he's president of Haiti, ladies and gentlemen.
And it's just unbelievable.
So all is well in Haiti.
We can just ignore the fact that they never got their money.
Well, also, you might take note...
His campaign was run by the same consultants who worked with John McCain and President Philippe Calderon of Gitmo Nation Taco.
I mean, hello?
Hello?
I mean, consultant?
You mean, what, the guys come in with AKs and Glocks and just force people to vote that way?
I mean, this is a total douchebaggery.
Yeah, that's great.
It's unbelievable.
And of course, where's the money?
Where is the money?
Stolen, ladies and gentlemen.
So I'm walking through the subways of New York City and there's a thing, some exhibit.
And it has all these little, you know, underwriters listed there.
I wonder if it was the Clinton Foundation for Climate Change or something like that.
I've never heard of this one.
Clinton's on board with that too.
He's gone all, oh yeah.
You mean disruption?
Well, it said climate change, I believe.
By the way, I was supposed to give a report on this show for the Spider-Man play.
Yeah, that's right.
How was it?
And by the way, if you can go pick up...
Hello?
Am I there?
Yeah, I lost you for a second.
You're back.
Typically, you know, these Broadway plays are really a rip-off.
I mean, it's $250 to get a seat.
What?!
Oh yeah, $250 you can get a seat.
The cheap seats are $175.
It's way over the top.
But if you go, because these things aren't selling out, especially the dogs, you go pick them up the day.
You can go in there and just get in line.
Or if you have a student, a student's tickets are $25.
Now you're talking.
Jay's a student.
So Jay went and you and Mimi stood outside?
No, the students can buy X number of tickets.
Oh, okay, good.
So, but anyway, you can get in cheap if you're not stupid.
So, here's my review of the Spider-Man.
This is an absolute fact.
Ready?
This is my kind of review.
Ladies and gentlemen, due to technical difficulties, the show will be interrupted and will resume shortly.
Really?
So we got an interruption.
Right at the end, with like three minutes left to go, they were getting to the climax.
And then some wire got tangled up.
You're kidding me.
Nope.
So we waited about, I don't know, actually it was about 10 minutes, and you see a bunch of things moving, and they start the show again.
I mean, actually, I've heard of Showstoppers, but I never thought of them in this regard.
That's funny.
So the show was terrible.
For one thing, the music was not memorable.
Nobody in my family, Mimi or Jay, we can't remember one song.
There was one kind of a good...
It's Bono.
It's Bono, but here's what Bono was doing.
These are songs that you would swear were written by Journey or Night Ranger in the 70s.
They're so old-fashioned.
It's unbelievable.
That sounds like my kind of show.
Don't stop believing.
That's the kind of crap it was.
And so the first half of the show, the show is also too long, the first half was essentially the Spider-Man 1 movie, kind of condensed, and then the second half was just a mess.
We don't even know what it was about.
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
I have my review.
There you go.
That's Spider-Man.
So anyway, the point is they're going to shut the show down on April 17th on a hiatus and then reopen a redesigned version, official opening, because it's still in previews, on June.
And the word on the street is they're killing it.
Oh, duh.
I mean, they can't afford to have it running any longer.
The thing, I'll tell you this, in terms of like sets and set designs and staging, which is the reason I think a lot of people thought you should go see it, I have never seen anything like this.
It was ridiculous.
I mean, they had stuff, I don't even know how they did it.
It was outstanding from that perspective.
Unbelievable, actually.
But it sucked.
Of course, it didn't work.
Yeah, well, that's kind of...
I mean, the guys are flying over the audience into the balconies.
It's unbelievable.
Wow.
Anyway.
Oh, boy.
So that's your review.
If anybody goes to New York, go see Memphis.
Amazingly outstanding product.
So, uh, I was all excited, as was the rest of the world's journalists, for the, uh, the opening of the, uh, Silvio Duschelisconi's, uh, sex trial in Gitmo Nation Pasta.
This is the trial that, you know, he's got like presenters from Rai Uno, George Clooney, all kinds of celebrities have to testify that either he did or did not have sex with the Ruby is her name.
Can we get Clooney back on a movie set?
Get him out of the scene here?
Yeah, he's got Eyes of March coming out.
That's already in the can, so that's coming out.
He needs to be working.
Yeah.
Well, you know, Sudan is heating up.
You know, we've had a couple people killed there, so they're struggling to get that into the news.
Anyway, so this is supposed to be the trial, right?
And Berlusconi doesn't show.
Ruby doesn't show.
After ten minutes, the judge says, let's go have some pasta.
There's no trial.
The trial's off.
Due to technical difficulties, the trial is off.
So we have to wait to see what happens there.
But I don't think a lot of people in Gitmo Nation pasta have a lot of faith in the judicial system.
This guy's going to die in office.
How long has he been there?
He's not going to die.
He's a zombie, man.
The guy doesn't need to live.
So the big debate going on in Washington right now is this thing with the budget.
And so did you hear Obama's presentation on marriage?
No.
I thought it was kind of more revealing about his relationship with Michelle than any sort of...
Wait a minute.
Did he go all black on us with this?
No, no, but I thought it was kind of...
He does that a lot, right?
We don't want to mess with the first lady.
Well, I think this is...
This is another confirmation of the way he sees things in his relationship.
Play it.
You want everybody to act like adults?
Quit playing games?
Realize that it's not just my way or the highway?
How many folks are married here?
When was the last time you just got your way?
That's not how it works.
Wow!
Shut up, slave!
Really now?
Yeah, I've never heard that one.
It's Obama and Valerie.
It's Michelle and Valerie Jarrett.
They're running the show.
Now, by the way, did you see this thing that's running around the internet, which I kind of like, and they have a whole bunch of pictures of Obama with this big scar on his head?
Yeah, I saw the scar.
And of course, if you boost the photo, the scar becomes more apparent.
I mean, this is what we did, if you remember, a few years back when we boosted the photos on George Bush and the transmitter he had during the debates.
The hump.
The hump.
He had this thing.
It was obviously a transmitter in his ear.
A receiver.
A receiver.
It was a receiver.
A transceiver.
Hey, who has his ham license here?
Transceiver.
Well, actually, it was probably just a receiver because the trans part was him talking in the mic.
Or as we call in the business, a tranny.
Whatever the case is, he was, you know, they was cheating.
The whole thing was staged.
I mean, it was obviously a phony baloney thing.
And I guess this was four years.
What?
This was a while back.
How long have we been doing this show?
Anyway.
So the point is, is that you can do things with photos now and some things will come out, they'll jump out at you after you screw around with them.
And yeah, he's got some huge scar on the back of his head as though the back of his skull had been removed and maybe a new brain had been And we've got to wonder, we've got to keep a sharp eye out and see if both Obamas have the scar, if they replicate it.
Right, as one of our listeners pointed out, it could be an indicator of which Obama we're dealing with.
But it's, I mean, I think we should know.
I think we have a right to know exactly what is that scar all about.
Yeah, it's pretty nasty looking.
You read that Trump is now sending his own investigative team to Hawaii to find out if there is a birth certificate?
And even worse than that, a poll, I think I have it here, the Washington Post reports, this is, here we go, WashingtonPost.com, this kind of blew me away, and by the way, it makes total sense.
Sorry, a little slow to load.
Here we go.
The latest NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
Businessman and reality television star Donald Trump finished second behind only former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in a hypothetical 2012 Republican primary heat?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm watching this stuff, too.
Now, here's a couple of things people should first understand immediately.
One is that Trump is playing the role of the spoiler to get the competition to back off and let Romney win.
Romney's obviously been picked in advance to be the candidate.
Mm-hmm.
And so you got this guy, because the fact of the matter is, even though he's playing it as though he's running, as somebody pointed out, and I agree 100%, is that when the federal election committee, when Trump actually declares, if he ever does it, he won't, because he can't, because he has to file documents with the federal election committee, which outline exactly how much money he has or doesn't have, and it has to put all his finances on the table, and it's going to prove that Trump...
That's when he draws out.
He draws out because he's not the richest guy.
No, no.
It's hedge funds, and he takes other people's money.
He's borderline broke half the time.
He talks about it.
He knows how to play the game, so it looks like he's loaded.
But why is he doing a TV show if he has that much money?
I mean, give me a break.
For the chicks.
For the chicks.
Meanwhile, and this just came out this morning.
What is Hawaii?
Gitmo Nation.
Hula.
Hula.
Bobby Titcombe.
Personal friend of the Obamas, who usually spends the holidays with the President and his family when they spend time in Gitmo Nation hula, has been seen playing golf and attending picnics with the President, was arrested for soliciting an undercover cop who was acting as a hooker.
I love that.
It was a reverse prostitution sting involving a fake online female escort website.
I mean, this is...
Oh, a honeypot.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I hate that, man.
That pisses me off.
I mean, what's the point?
They should change the laws and make prostitutes.
Yeah, I hate that so much.
Bull crap.
Yeah.
Ugh.
You trick people into doing stuff they wouldn't probably do if it wasn't there, or otherwise they wouldn't have done it because it wouldn't have been there.
No.
So you trick somebody to do something which wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for you, and then you arrest them.
I mean, this is bullcrap.
Yeah.
It sounds like you've got some experience with this.
I've never been arrested.
Hey, I almost have a classic, John.
Yeah?
I almost have a classic.
Remember now, my wheels in Southern California is a 1999 Saab Niner 3.
Yeah, a girl's chick car.
Chick Mobile, right.
Which I purchased outright for the, and I saved for it, $3,000.
Right, which sounds like a reasonable deal.
You are very frugal in your old age.
It has to be frugal.
It has to be frugal.
But you know what?
It does the job, and the top is not ripped.
That's amazing.
I think you've got a deal on that.
Well, it turns out I just might, as it looks like Saab is sending all of its workers home.
Yeah, they're going out of business.
Oh, well, they've been going out of business for years, but they never quite go.
Yeah, now they've actually said, hey, take the rest of the week off to all of their employees.
Like the Spider-Man hiatus.
Yeah, if they stop making sobs, I'll have an instant classic on my hands.
Yeah, you can't get parts is what it really means.
And the thing is, these things don't break.
It's a good thing.
Yeah.
Well, it's not a good thing, because if you're looking for a part, if you've got a Monday morning model, then you're, you know, SOL. Yeah, well, I don't know.
Yeah, it's too bad.
I mean, the Swedes are pretty...
Well, I think General Motors bought Saab, and they just ran it into the ground.
It was bought by Spiker, the Dutch car company.
More recently.
Yes, yes.
Have you ever seen a Spiker sports car?
I've driven one.
Really?
It's a piece of crap.
Oh, but it's pretty.
It's a piece of crap because they're all handmade.
Have you ever driven a De Chevo, a Citroën De Chevo, the two horsepower, where it has this stick shift on the dashboard?
No, I've always wanted one, though.
So the way it works, and it's a two-horsepower car, the original, and it's made of, like, tin can.
Yeah, it looks like a tin can.
So there's this big knob sticking out of the dashboard, and essentially, it's a rod that goes into the engine compartment, straight through the fascia, as the technical term for it, and there's the gear shift, and the gears are the same.
You know, one is to the left and forward, two is left back, three is right forward, four is right back.
But you have to use this knob, so you flip the knob to the left and push it forward, and you're literally pushing a rod up on the front because the gearbox is up there.
It's the same with the spiker.
It's the exact same feel.
Yeah, except it's in the back.
That car costs a fortune.
Why would they have such a sleazy lash-up?
It's made of aluminum, which makes it all cool and stuff, and hand-tooled leather.
But it's a piece of crap.
It feels rickety.
It's a rough ride.
I'm talking a couple years back when I was in Amsterdam.
I'm driving this biker, man.
I'm like, let me drive this.
And the key entry system doesn't work.
Stupid car.
Stupid.
Well, they bought Saab.
It's not going to help.
No.
No, it's obviously a douchebag car.
Unlike the Saab Niner 3.
Which is a girl's car.
Which is clearly a girly car.
So it looks like we're going to have some false flags coming up in 2012.
Yeah, and I have a clip going back to Ventura when he was on the Napolitano show.
And I also want to play Glenn Beck on the Napolitano show.
While we still can.
While we still can, yeah.
So Jesse is on there.
This is a long clip, but it discusses false flags.
And the funny thing is, if you really look into American history, and I think there's a chapter on this in the book about George Bush, the family of secrets, about false flags.
Remember the main?
We sunk the battleship.
We've done a lot of stuff.
Well, this is Jesse's thing because of the Bay of Tonkin, right?
This is his whole thing.
He's going to talk about two elements, including the Bay of Tonkin, which irks him to no end.
Yeah, because he had to go to Vietnam because of that.
Yeah, and the Bay of Tonkin was a false flag that was just a complete ridiculous setup.
It was admitted to later, and of course the public long since forgot about it.
Nobody notices that we do this as a policy.
I mean, this is the same as burning of the Reichstag by Hitler, to blame somebody besides the Nazis.
But let's just play this.
It's a long, it's a little lengthy, but it's interesting.
What about Operation Northwoods?
Stop.
I love it.
Thank you for bringing this one up.
What about what the military wanted JFK to do in Miami in order to get rid of Castro?
The military wanted to use our CIA and the Joint Chiefs wanted to use our CIA and military to attack certain parts of the United States and make it look like Castro did it so that the country would get up in arms and support an invasion of Cuba.
And what did JFK say about you?
JFK told him to take a hike.
And when JFK told them that he was going to pull troops out of Vietnam because he believed that that was a fruitless and immoral war...
No defender of JFK, though in these two instances I agree with what we now know is his judgment.
What did the military do?
Or what happened after JFK was murdered that the military and LBJ did to shore up support for the Vietnam War?
Well, they had what was called the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
And in 2004, when I was teaching at Harvard, McNamara came through and admitted it never happened, that it was a false flag made up, Event.
And that's eventually put 58,000 of our generation died and probably a million Vietnamese over something that never occurred.
And the official Gulf of Tonkin incident, and there are documents about it in the book, was that American ships peacefully in the Gulf of Tonkin were attacked by North Vietnamese.
In fact, there may have been some ships there, but they weren't attacked.
No.
And on the basis of that, President Lyndon Baines Johnson got the Congress of the United States not to declare war.
We haven't declared war since December 8, 1941.
Correct.
But he got the Congress to authorize him to fight this war against North Vietnam.
Exactly, and that put ground troops in there, is what happened.
Hey John, I think while we're talking, the whole time we're talking we should just have these sound effects.
You know, just the whole time.
Just to accentuate that it's important what we're saying.
Yeah, so here's my clue that we're going to have a false flag.
Probably the Olympics is the most obvious.
No, I don't think so.
I think it's going to be sooner.
Well, let me tell you why the Olympics is a candidate.
The International Sports Federations, all 26 of them which have sports competition in the Olympic Games, will each be insured for up to $100 million in case of terrorism.
So they're covered.
Well, you think earlier, it's funny because there was this letter circulating that this came out in Chicago.
Osama bin Laden apparently wrote a letter to a whole bunch of people, media outlets, and said there's nuclear bombs all around America.
And the FBI goes, nah, that's not him, because we write that shit normally.
That's not him.
That can't be him.
You haven't even heard about this.
Have you?
Have you?
You got me on that one.
Yeah, you get just one point.
You're ahead now.
I mean, seriously, it's like, it's unbelievable that, you know, some cassette tape, some 8-track comes out and there's like, oh, there's news!
Osama bin Laden has spoken once again!
We all have to be very, we have to listen up here!
And then the actual letters sent, handwritten letters...
He ain't got no computer in the cave.
And it's like, well, you know, that can't be here.
So Osama bin Laden, in a tape that they say now is bullcrap, so they didn't publicize it, says there's a bunch of bombs planted all over the place?
Yeah, so I'll read it here verbatim so I don't mess it up.
It was actually...
Here we go.
The FBI... Is investigating a Chicago connection to a letter claiming to be from Osama Bin Laden.
25 copies of the letter, postmarked from Chicago, where he lives, were sent to locations around the country.
The so-called Bin Laden wrote he has 160 nuclear bombs that will be detonated unless certain unidentified people responsible for war crimes are put on trial.
Which sounds pretty consistent, by the way, with what he says.
The letter goes on to say the trials must be televised live and done American Idol style where viewers could vote on guilt or innocence.
You gotta hand it to the guy.
I'm loving that.
That's awesome.
What a great idea.
And get Jennifer Lopez to interview.
And Ryan Seacrest.
So anyway, so immediately that can't be true.
Because of course it would be X Factor, not American Idol.
This can't be the real Osama.
So, I'm thinking, I'm putting this down in the book as one of your predictions.
What did I predict now?
What?
What did I predict now?
Just that there's going to be a false flag attack in the Olympics.
And so somebody can collect on the insurance, although I think the insurance companies won't let that happen.
Anyway, I think it has to be sooner than that, because we've got to get feet on the ground in Libya sooner than later.
I think they're trying the connection now with the bombing in Ireland.
They're saying the Semtex came from Libya, like it had some kind of...
It's weak.
It's very weak, but I think that was a feeble attempt, probably.
It's going to be something, and I believe it's going to have to take place within the next 30 days.
Really?
Yeah, so I'm going to put my prediction down.
Yeah, write that down.
All right, cool.
30 days.
Yeah, write that down.
Definitely.
So anyway, just since he's going away, Glenn Beck, as we predicted, we said, look, the guy's on the way out.
We know media.
We predicted this six months ago.
Yeah, and we said that the Politano was going to be his replacement.
We said it right off the bat.
I think I said it, actually.
You might have.
It doesn't matter.
Whatever the case is, we both knew it.
And here is Glenn Beck on the Napolitano show.
Further, might as well just announce it here, but they don't announce it.
And they kind of laughed us off, but just listen to this clip.
Society and a war and couldn't pay it, and so we changed the way everything works.
Brentwoods 3 is being held right now with George Soros, and nobody's saying anything.
We've got about 30 seconds left.
What can be done about this other than what you and I and people that agree with us say on there?
Make you the replacement for me at 5 p.m.
I hope our bosses are watching.
Make you the replacement.
I've been here for 13 years.
You've been here for a little over two.
It's hard for me to remember what Fox was like without you.
It was hard for me to imagine what it'll be like without you.
I ain't leaving, so don't worry about it.
I ain't leaving.
There's a couple of things that I'm listening to this, him on Napolitano.
First of all, we spotted this early because they brought Napolitano and went out of the blue and all he does is he...
I have some neuro-linguistic interpretations of what he does on his show, which I'm going to probably bring up on Sunday.
But he...
I realized there's something...
Glenn Beck was actually...
This is a theory.
Glenn Beck was brought into Fox about two years ago as an entertainer, as a scripted guy.
His ratings have gone down, by the way, because they've moved his time around, so he's on at 11 at West Coast, 2 in the morning, 5.
He's also gotten boring.
Well, yeah, because they took his budget away.
He was brought in for the purpose of, and Napolitano basically says this, that Beck was his mentor.
He was brought in to coach Napolitano to become a big shot on these shows.
So he was brought in on a contract basis for, I don't know how much money he's getting, a fortune, because he became the number one show for a long time on Fox and all of cable.
Yeah.
So he was getting probably 10 or 20 or more millions of dollars, plus his books make him a lot of money.
He was getting a little carried away here in the later days, and they had to get rid of him, but he's on a contract, so he's not going to badmouth them.
He says he's still going to be there because they've obviously got him on a long-term deal.
He has to shut up and get out of the way, push Napolitano in, who's a more controllable character, who has the message that the Fox people want to convey, whatever, you know, we can figure it out easy enough.
And Beck is going to be moved into doing specials.
He's still going to show up on O'Reilly once in a while, and the two of them are going to yuck it up because they have the greatest time in the world when they're together.
And it's going to be – but he's done.
He's gone.
The Soros thing and the rest of it apparently was not sitting well with someone.
Yeah, with the Democrats who run Fox.
Yeah, obviously.
And so the point is that he's done, but he's not going to badmouth.
He's not going to say anything bad.
He's very kind of amenable about the whole thing.
And he says he's not leaving.
Yeah, he's not leaving because he's on a contract because they signed him up for God knows how long.
And until that contract is over, we're not going to really know the truth about this whole situation.
Well, boo-hoo!
Yeah, I find it interesting because it's like, you know, the whole thing was a bunch of bull crap from the get-go and now we're going to be, we have to keep a careful eye on this Napolitano guy.
Yeah, unfortunately that is, you know, what a job we have, man.
We're watchdogs.
Really?
Is that our gig now?
I think we are watchdogs.
I think we watch, you know, we're media assassins like you like to say, but in fact we are watchdogs.
We are watching the weirdest stuff and we're listening to all these things and we're trying to connect dots that nobody else bothers with.
And we're watching over your children to make sure they're safe.
Or is that taking it too far?
Probably.
You know who sent me a cool clip?
Maynard.
Maynard G. Krebs?
No.
Maynard, our buddy from Gitmo Nation Down Under, who's on the real show there.
Oh, Maynard!
What has he got?
Hold on a second.
For some reason I hadn't...
This is really weird.
You haven't queued it up on your new...
No, I'm pretty sure I put it in my box to play.
Oh, here it is.
I've got it.
Maynard is too funny, man.
So they've got a harp installation there in Australia.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
And so I had a chance to interview Associate Professor Colin Waters, who has worked at the Alaska Harp Array and is part of Australia's ionosphere research.
Maynard goes on to say, now, our harp is very low power.
He says the Alaskan facility has regular open days, so maybe a listener could go have a look, which, by the way, Jesse Ventura says he tried and they wouldn't let him in.
I asked him about several theories.
The public had developed about his type of research.
And there's a full interview linked in the show notes at noagendershow.com.
But of course Maynard just can't help himself when it comes to promoting the show.
Put an electromagnetic probe up there to see what's going on.
Now, I've seen the chart of when the best time to be operating is for comms.
Is it basically at night or midday, or is the best time to do an over-horizon radar and our sort of miniature project, is it pretty much in the morning is the best time for it?
I love that guy.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
All right.
First, I want to mention that we have a number of checks that came in the mail, which will be mentioned and credited on the Sunday show.
But the normal conduit, we have a number of people.
And by the way, I want to mention two of them at the beginning, who actually will become associate executive producers.
Benjamin Salen of Wilmington, Delaware, who donated $200 with a comment that the man's got me down.
He needs some karma.
Mm-hmm.
You've got karma.
And also with $200 is Harold Fudge, who's a new listener, and he wants a donation credited to Infostripe.com or Infostripe.com slash NoAgenda.
It's a customizable way to connect all the information you want to share, uniquely formatted for any device.
We have to look at that and see what we think.
And he wants the combination dedouching karma.
Wow, okay.
Wow.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
That was hot.
That was a good one.
Yeah, that was good.
Also, whoa, here he is again, our pal Baron von Pelsmacher.
To offset the douchebags of the MTA sticking it to Christina.
Yeah, thanks.
It's some bail money, $189.
Thank you very much, Baron.
That's exactly the bail money.
That's very cool.
Thank you.
Jason Marella in Augusta, Georgia.
$111.11.
Missed my chance for a 33rd birthday shot on the day that we'll live in infamy.
12-7-10.
Can I have a belated one?
Put him on the birthday list.
Wait a minute.
What's his name?
It's Jason Marella.
M-A-R-E-L-L-A from Augusta.
Can I just say one thing?
About the 111.11?
Okay, so if you haven't figured it out by now, it's very important to understand.
If you take the last two digits of your birth year and add it to the age you became or will become this year, it equals $111.
And this is special karma.
And by the way, duh, this works for everybody.
However, I want to point out, the next time, this is why it is a special karma to either donate on the $11.11 a month or $111, It is a special karmic event.
The next time this will work for everybody, John, is in 823 years from now.
There you have it.
This is it.
This is your opportunity.
It's going to click some who knows what cosmic whatever.
So anyway, Jason goes on about what a great show we're doing.
It's one of the few things ever.
He wants to make sure that you weren't really depressed a couple of shows ago.
And he's been a...
Donation of $5.11.11 monthly, dollar an hour program, also formerly and additionally the old defunct $2 a month subscriber.
Wow, yeah, I was going to tell me that.
And so he's a good man.
And he doesn't ask for it, but I think we should give him some karma anyway.
Of course, not a problem, and deserved.
You've got karma.
I want you to give yourself some too, but you get it in other ways.
Cameron Warren in Port Byron, Illinois.
$111.11.
Hey guys, going to Vegas this weekend so I can use some karma.
If it works, I'll be back to the donation page.
Oh, I can't take a chance on letting that go by.
So give him some karma.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're eating!
You've got karma.
I am.
You're eating!
I'm sorry, I know.
Now I'm trying to be really quiet about it.
Lynn Fogwell, Raleigh, North Carolina, another $111.11.
Anastasia Perov in Toronto, Ontario, $100.
Anastasia needs some karma.
Mm-hmm.
You've got karma.
Got an anonymous donation of $100 from Chicago, Reno, Nevada.
Steve Bottoms asks us to keep the faith.
He's in for $100.
You know, I've got to tell you, this is so awesome.
This really is.
This is so awesome.
What?
Well, I've worked in media all my life, since I was 15, basically.
I've always sold the audience as the product and the demographic, and to see people appreciating the product that we make, it's mind-blowing to me.
It's just mind-blowing.
I love it.
It makes me feel so good that we're actually making something work here, John.
I've just got to say it.
Okay.
I agree, and I think the audience appreciates the fact that they're not being used.
Mark Wallert in Rocky Point, New York, 66.66 may be my second donation ever, but it comes along with my vote for three shows a week.
It's my only source of news.
I can't get enough of you guys.
Please keep up the fantastic work, and I'll continue to spread the word.
33.33 times 2, love the magic numbers segment.
Geek Rolling, Los Angeles, California, $60.
Sir John Snyder in Chicago, Illinois, wishes me a happy birthday with a $59 donation.
I want to thank everyone who sent me a note, card, or whatever wishing me a happy birthday.
I appreciate it.
Joe Morphine, or also known as Joe Murphy, in Bella Vista, Arkansas.
Second donation from the No Agenda Human Resource iPhone app sales.
Updates with added levels will be out at the end of the month.
Getting married at the end of the month, so you can send me some karma.
Joe and Stephanie, thanks, and please tell folks.
The leave a review.
Good thought.
Karma.
Yeah, leave a review.
That is important.
It's very important.
Stephen Sawyer, Lincoln, Nebraska, 5555, found the podcast recently through the Ozone Nightmare podcast.
That's nice.
Do you think that has anything to do with them?
Couldn't be, could it?
I doubt it.
Our corporate slave masters gave us a bonus this year, so I thought I would pass along some karma to you.
Thank you.
Vernon White, Black Knight Vernon, as a matter of fact.
Pearlland, Texas.
Small karma club donations as they started a new real job after 93 weeks of unemployment.
Great.
Triad club donation in two weeks.
Vernon White, No Agenda, Black Knight.
Sir Vernon.
Loving a Sir Vernon White, Black Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Yeah, a white black knight.
Aaron Spears, Brook Park, Ohio.
Happy birthday donation from my beautiful wife, Kelly.
We've been donating double nickels on a dime for birthdays in our family for four, for a year now, for a family of four, and we only have five more years of birthday donations until knighthood.
That's all right.
We'll be here waiting for you.
Cynical Computers in Stowell, Victoria, Australia feel like a bit of a douche for not donating for so damn long.
Could I grab some karma as a shot and if I'm not too late a birthday mention for the third?
You've got karma.
Yeah, Cynical Computers is on the list.
Yeah, but what's his name?
It's Cynical Computers.
This is his birthday for the company?
Don't worry, next week we'll have to make it up one way or the other.
Christopher Pota, Vinton, Virginia.
Hey guys, I keep hearing comments from other producers saying to lay off the crackpot stuff.
Well, I'd like to cast my vote for more crackpot theories!
I can't get enough of that stuff.
Stand by.
Yeah, great.
I'd also like to say thanks for continuing to put out such great shows.
Noah Jen is my absolute favorite source for news information and entertainment.
Double nickels on the dime from Christopher.
Stephen Nelson, Denver, Colorado.
My third three-year-old daughter, Liz, now calls the cat a douchebag due to my playing this show on car rides.
Record that.
I want to hear your kids saying that.
That's funny.
That'd be great.
Please de-douche her.
You've been de-douched.
I don't know if it'll help, man.
She may be lost.
And he's got a birthday call out coming up.
Steven Dune, Newburgh, West Virginia.
Greetings from Gitmo Nations, Appalachia.
Appalachia.
Love the show.
By the way, a lot of people mispronounce it as Appalachia, not Appalachia.
Love the show.
I'm being a fan of the Appalachian state.
Embracing my inner crackpot helps me stay sane.
And the entertainment helps too.
I'm keeping a keen eye on my water bill.
Please don't say my name too bad.
I started monitoring.
Nobody's reading these comments before they put up these things.
Of course not.
That's okay.
He started monitoring social networks and who knows what other corporate hooey they're trying to pull.
We could use some karma.
Give him some karma.
Oops.
The bell got stuck.
You've got karma.
Mike Goldwoods in St.
Helens, Merseyside, 5454, Cybology.com, C-Y-B-O-L-O-G-Y, Villa Park, Illinois, 50.
Also, Lisa Mullins in Wycliffe, Ohio, and Sir Mike Westerfields still in for 50 at Enderlin North to the Code.
And finally, Nichelle Moore, Nightdale, North Carolina.
I think...
I think Lisa, I think there's a note here.
Let me just make sure.
I do have one.
I have a make good I want to get out of the way before we go into the birthdays and nighting.
I got one more.
Let me just get this out of the way.
Charles Sin III should have been mentioned a couple of weeks ago.
He also needs some karma and he gave 53.33.
You've got karma.
Okay, so I'm trying to track the administration here.
So Lisa Mullins, I believe this note goes along with this.
From Nelson.
Yeah, Nelson Mullins.
Gentlemen, my wife Lisa surprised me with the news that she made a $50 donation.
She's come a long way from resigning herself to listening with me to enjoy the show.
Lisa says John is cute and she likes Adam's impersonation of Obama.
Hello, everybody!
By the way, she gave up birthday money to donate.
Aww.
Aww.
You know, your Obama thing, I never thought about it as being decent, but when you say it, you actually do sound, you might want to work on this.
Hello, everybody!
Anyone here been married?
I'll work on it.
I think you should take some tapes of Obama, because nobody does him well.
Take some tapes of him, because he has a certain resonance in his, that comes out, that if you don't get that, and you have it.
Okay, I'll work on it.
It's not like I'm busy watching C-SPAN or anything.
You can work on it while watching C-SPAN. Imagine that you are Obama watching C-SPAN. Damn it!
Michelle!
Michelle!
They're lying again!
I got a couple quick shout-out to Daniel Wheaton.
Remember Daniel?
The kid who used no agenda to basically graduate.
No, he became the Nebraska Class B extemporaneous speaking champion and became third in persuasive speaking.
Even though I did not yell long dong silver or call my judge elitist pricks, I performed exceptionally well.
Can you just imagine the kid going, thank you for this award.
Long Dong Silver!
Google that one.
Surprising that karma was not entirely depleted.
After the state meet, we went to the national qualifiers tournament for our district.
After 15 rounds of grueling competition spanning three days across a college campus, I succeeded in qualifying for the national tournament in June.
For the first time in my school's history, we are taking two people to the NFL national tournament.
Myself, an extemporaneous speaking companion, Aaron Pierce.
My original oratory, which is a seductively hard-hitting persuasive, has arguments in line with the overall goals of no agenda.
It's called think, dammit.
Yeah, no, this is amazing.
So you need a little bit of extra karma for the June meet, I guess.
You've got karma.
I want to give him that.
And if you win, it's long dong silver, okay?
Okay.
Just in the air.
Yeah.
And then, I'm not sure if this came through, but Adam and John have been a long time listening to Douchebag, Love Your Show, Total Producer...
I donated $50 from your link, but there was no link comment, so I'm not sure which $50 donation he was.
But anyway, he wants ifixmac.com.
He's trying to get a business started because he needs money, and so he needed a little bit of karma there as well.
Now, to support this show...
There's only one thing you have to remember.
That's really it.
And we appreciate it.
And I think in the second half of the show, you'll see a lot of value for value.
I certainly spent some time watching C-SPAN. And now I'm going to expand that by working on my Obama impersonation.
Obama.
I think it would be worth doing because, you know, you could do that.
Hello, everybody!
I can do it, right?
That sounds kind of good.
That actually does sound good.
It's got...
Hello, everybody!
I'm hearing UPS. I've got to work on it.
Now that you mention it, because your hello, everybody, is you're kind of screaming a little bit.
I think he's kind of screaming all the time.
Just noticeably.
Well, it's because he's reading.
Maybe you should work on your Obama, but you should read.
Right, right.
You should take it off a sheet.
You should write what he's going to say and then read it.
Okay, okay.
All right.
So, more work to do.
Dvorak.org slash NA. Remember, you can become an executive producer, an associate executive producer, a member of the 294 Club, which is now officially open, as well as a co-executive producer.
Or a night.
And a 300 Club.
Yeah, the 300 Club, by the way, is coming.
What are we now?
We're six episodes away.
Yeah, we're getting there.
It's getting exciting.
Status of the rings?
I don't know.
I didn't ask.
Okay.
Well, they have been ordered and they have been paid for.
So that is the good news.
All right.
So Nelson Mullins, of course, congratulations from his lovely wife, Lisa, who was a brand new listener or she's finally succumbed and she's on board.
Sir Nathan Marshall celebrates.
Aaron Spears says happy birthday to his beautiful wife Kelly.
Cynical Computers celebrated on April 3rd.
Stefan Nelson turns 32 today.
Stefan van der Haver.
We celebrate our birthday on the 3rd of April.
And Jason Marella and I have Mike Chaddick-Stahl.
And of course, my partner in crime who celebrated two days ago.
Happy birthday, John, from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
And you were probably on a plane while you were...
As a matter of fact, we went to my birthday, did a birthday lunch in one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan, Bully, which was quite tasty.
And they had a rather inexpensive tasting menu for lunch, I thought was interesting.
And then we took a plane back, right, and then, of course, yesterday my family took off to...
They ran away from you.
They ran away.
We get sick of each other rather quickly.
And my daughter was abused by the TSA on the way out.
And she got a secondary screening because they wanted her to go through the machine.
She refused.
Good honor.
Good girl.
And she was upset by it, by the way.
And meanwhile, and of course we know from, if we listen to the clips on our show and the testimony in Congress, these machines do not work.
My wife ended up lecturing the TSA person about why they're not wearing the little badges and the rest of it.
She has the whole thing down.
She went along with the talking points like everyone should do.
If you didn't get your talking points, you were left out.
That we sent out to everybody in email.
A lot of people never opened them.
And that was the end of it.
It was a good trip.
Did Jay feel she was touched inappropriately?
She didn't like being isolated and made a public spectacle.
Well, luckily now, of course, we have Will Wheaton has now cried on his blog, I was sexually assaulted by the TSA! So now, of course, it's a big deal.
So that'll be a top topic on Twit, no doubt about it.
Probably will be.
Hold on a second.
Get your blade out, man.
We've got a couple of knighthoods to take care of here.
David Hornbeck III and Nathan Marshall, please step forward.
In your support of the No Agenda Show program on the interwebs, you have both reached status of knighthood.
David Hordenbeck III, actually a black knight.
Nathan Marshall, a white knight.
Both of you in excess of $1,000.
We highly appreciate the support of the show and the cause.
We here now pronounce thee Sir David Hordenbeck III, black knight, and Nathan Marshall, Sir Nathan Marshall, knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please have a seat over here.
Enjoy your hookers and blow.
Or, rent boys and cabernet.
So, speaking of TSA, which by the way, the BS filter turns into...
It's funny because I was reading about the TSA and it's like the touching sexual assault or something.
And whenever it says Transportation Security Administration, the BS filter changes it.
It's quite hilarious.
Yeah, I'm going to put it on.
They're coming up with a switch to turn it off, which is also kind of necessary, because sometimes, you know, it's like, you just really want to, and like, literally everything, Gitmo Nation this, Gitmo Nation that, Gaddafi douchebag, it's funny.
It's really, really funny.
It's a good little gag.
I love it a lot.
So I'm watching...
Oh, gee.
I was watching...
So wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
Let's back up.
Can you go to somebody else's machine, download it, and then turn it on?
Would it stay on?
Yeah.
No.
All you have to do is you go to crackpotcommand.com slash...
You know, I don't want to...
We're trying to keep the show clean, but BSfilter.
I think it's even linked from the home page.
There's a link in the show notes, nogendershow.com.
And it's literally just click install in the browser.
You don't have to dial it.
It's just click and it works.
So does it stay?
In other words, does it stay on?
So in other words, can I use your machine for a second and go over there and load it?
Yes, yes, yes.
And I think it updates automatically.
I think that we have like 300 terms now in there.
Hillary Clinton becomes Lucifer Clinton.
It's hilarious.
It's a good gag, actually.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
It's a very good gag.
So, I'm watching C-SPAN. This comes from the longer clip, and it's quite boring, but quite important that we listen to it.
And, again, this is two-and-a-half-hour testimony from Keen.
Keen.
What's his name?
Keen?
Yeah, Keen.
Keen.
I don't know Keen.
Yeah, you do.
K-E-A-N. Keen.
He's, uh...
Here, I'll tell you who he is.
Thomas Keen.
Do you know what Thomas Keene is?
No.
Well, he's been around.
Wasn't he a senator or something at one point?
Anyway, Thomas Keene and Lee Hamilton testified about the implementation of the September 11th Commission recommendations and the obvious gaps in national security.
And, you know, and I got to go back and read the 9-11 Commission report, which of course I have, because apparently I missed this, but apparently the 9-11 Commission was all about homegrown terrorism.
And this year...
What?
Yeah, apparently.
Yeah, no, I mean, I got to go, now I got to go back, I have it, I have the book, but you can get it online, of course.
Apparently it was all about homegrown terrorism.
We're not even close, not even close to closing all the gaps and the holes.
And when you listen to this, you just know what's coming down.
I mean, Gitmo Nation, lock me up.
And there's even an award for, well, listen to this.
Many counterterrorism experts talk about 2010 and name it the year of the homegrown terrorist.
There you go.
The year of the homegrown terrorist.
Wow.
The year of the homegrown terrorist.
He was ex-governor of New Jersey, I believe.
Thank you.
With this British accent?
Yeah, it's kind of a, I think it's more a Massachusetts-like thing.
Let's listen to it again.
Many counterterrorism experts talk about 2010 and name it the Year of the Homegrown Terrorist.
That's right, everybody, 2010, Year of the Homegrown Terrorist!
Woohoo!
This guy starts off as a douchebag par excellence.
So this guy is a Republican.
Yeah.
Republican douchebag from Jersey.
Yeah, Jersey.
Let me just throw another shoe at him.
Hold on.
So let's listen.
He speaks and it's very boring, but I think we have to listen because no one reports on this.
No one has the patience.
I'm all ears.
I had to drink cups of coffee to stay awake during this stuff.
Here it is.
Self-radicalization is up.
I just got to stop right there.
Self-radicalization.
Yeah.
What is that?
It's like, what are you doing, honey?
I'm self-radicalizing.
I mean, is that horrible or self-radicalization?
I guess you're reading a book.
Next thing you know, you say, I mean, this is actually when you bring up self-radicalization, you have targets.
Now you have a million of them.
Anyone who writes a book, critical of the United States, anyone who does a show like ours, creates, you know, allows people to become self-radicalized because we're not actually going and talking to anybody personally.
This is just a part of a censorship move.
We're own terrorists.
Self-radicalization is an alarming development.
Alarming.
Our group issued a report, as you have mentioned, last fall on radicalization, and we're going to follow up this spring with a set of recommendations for dealing with this important and very, very sensitive problem.
Why is it sensitive?
What's sensitive about it?
Why is it sensitive?
It's an important and sensitive...
Because it hurts when you touch it!
What is he talking about, important and sensitive?
What is sensitive about it?
The guy is a drama queen, and he's trying to play this up because we've got to lock everyone down, we've got to give you a real ID, we've got to throw Gitmo bracelets on you, and this guy is doing it!
Also face new threats.
Like the discovery in October 2010 of explosives packed in a toner cartridges addressed to synagogues in Chicago and shipped on FedEx and UPS cargo flights from Yemen.
The cyber threat is also increasingly severe.
And poses a real danger to our critical infrastructure.
So, okay, so we have a couple things here.
No more shipments from Amazon.
That's one.
Forget about that.
And let's shut down the interwebs.
Defending the U.S. against such attacks must be an urgent priority.
So we'd like to offer our assessment today of where the government is implementing.
9-11 Commission recommendations.
So apparently these were all 9-11 recommendations.
I don't remember any of this.
Any of it.
But okay, just me.
On emergency preparedness, we have made some progress toward establishing a unity of command.
In other words, one person responsible for coordinating efforts in a disaster.
But having said that, our recommendations are still a long way from being fully implemented.
Was he talking about Brownie?
So what is this we're listening to?
Who is he talking to?
He's talking to Congress.
Why?
Because this is about, they have to put more securite.
You'll hear it.
He starts coming up with what we need to do.
This is about the lockdown of Gitmo Nation and completely enslaving us so we can't do anything without being scanned, tracked, and felt up.
Who've mentioned to us that many metropolitan areas still haven't solved the problem.
So this is about putting, you know, command centers...
Commissars.
Yeah, exactly.
Putting everyone in, should we have, you know, Stasi, Commissars...
Yeah, exactly.
The whole thing.
Just lockdown.
Of having a unified command structure.
Unified command structure, please.
Moreover, it is unacceptable that the government still has not allocated the additional 10 megahertz of radio spectrum The D-block that you mentioned to public safety so that our first responders can communicate the disaster.
Now, I recognize the efforts and the leadership that you've shown through your bill.
I believe the President supports such a recommendation, and Congress needs to act.
I think this is about the H.R. 5155.
I think that's what it is, John.
This is where all this stuff comes together.
I've got to research it, but I think that's what this is about.
There have been improvements in transportation security.
But technology still lags in screening passengers for weapons concealed in their bodies.
Which means in your butthole!
And for detecting explosives contained in bags.
He just admitted it doesn't work.
Apparently.
Doesn't work.
They run the bags through the real x-ray machines and they can't find the explosion.
They got all those little swab deals.
They can't find the explosions.
Doesn't work.
So even that doesn't work.
Doesn't work.
Well, actually, coming back from New York, I'm, you know, I'm...
With your Semtex.
We're packing, and I said, you know, we bought it because I didn't want to bring a tube of toothpaste, so I bought a tube of toothpaste in New York, a big giant tube.
And I said, and Mimi had some honey that she bought for some tea that we're making.
And I said, just pack it.
Just pack the honey, and I'll put the toothpaste in the bag, big old giant toothpaste.
Let them take it away, right?
And my daughter goes, oh, no, you shouldn't do that.
This is not right.
Oh, she's a good slave.
Well, unfortunately, in some ways.
And so, until she got felt up, now she's maybe changed her attitude.
But anyway, I forgot, actually.
I was going to pull out the plastic bag and put it on the rolling thing, because you're supposed to pull out the plastic bag of toiletries.
I forgot.
I just left it in there with the big, boom, right through.
Of course.
Yeah, if it was a bottle of water, they would have...
Dangerous H2O! GAO continues to find holes in virtually every single security layer that we establish.
Border security remains a top national security priority as terrorists continue to exploit our border vulnerabilities to gain entry into the United States.
Really now?
How does he know that?
If terrorists continue to exploit our holes and gaps in borders, where are they?
Are they living here?
How do you know they're here, Keene?
That's bullcrap right there.
It's total bullcrap.
Several attempted attacks over the past two years were perpetrated by terrorists who could have been detected by the U.S. immigration system.
We require a more streamlined terrorist watch-listing capability and better sharing of information between intelligence agencies and immigration authorities.
One area of progress is the deployment of the biometric entry system known as US VISIT. Yes, that's progress!
Biometrics is progress!
We still lack, however, any comprehensive exit system.
We don't know, in other words, when people leave the country.
The Commission recommends that the government standardize secure identification and the federal government should set standards for the issuance of birth certificates and driver's licenses.
The Real ID Act established these standards by statute.
About one-third of the states have complied with this first-tier benchmark.
The deadlines for compliance have been pushed back now twice.
We gotta stop this shit!
...and compliance creates real vulnerability and makes us less safe. We would ask that no further delays should be authorized. No further delays shall be authorized.
Hey, Keen!
Keen, over here!
Look, looky here!
Woohoo!
Shoo in your face, mofo!
I'm a douchebag.
Now that was juvenile.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
But he's a douchebag.
No further delays.
No further delays.
Alright, so I think you got your clip out of the way.
We have to lock him down.
No further delays.
Well, so you spent two and a half hours and that's the best you could come up with from that crumb?
Yeah, but this is what it's about.
No further delays.
No further delays in locking him down.
What has to happen, man?
Alright, so I got some better material than that.
Sorry, I give you real information.
You've got comedy.
Roll it out.
No, the point is, this guy's a...
This is what he is.
He's a clown.
Why is he even...
These guys are falling asleep listening to this joke.
Why is he even speaking?
What consulting group is he with?
I mean, what does he got to do with anything?
Who is he?
What makes him an expert?
I am your overlord.
That's a jerk.
Actually, that clip now, I would think about it, really annoyed me.
That's...
Yeah, what was that?
Hold on, it hurts to do it.
Let me try it.
It hurts to do it.
I'm your father, Luke.
That's my Darth Vader.
Yeah, well, it was a little better before.
And then you actually, when you were really garbling it, it sounds like some other Star Trek character.
But anyway.
Long, long, silver.
The guys, I got, here's a light piece of light material.
Oh, nice.
Barbara Eden got tried, the famous actress who did I Dream of a Genius.
She was very cute when she was younger.
And apparently John Kennedy tried to pick her up.
And here's the story on the Joy Behar show.
I'm back with the lovely and talented Barbara Eaton.
Barbara, tell me.
Whenever you say that, that means old.
Whenever someone says the lovely and talented means you're old and you're wrinkled.
I'm back with the lovely and talented Barbara Eaton.
Barbara, tell me, so we left with JFK. Yes.
Pierre Salinger.
What did he say?
Bring us back again.
You were at JFK Airport.
Oh, Pierre Salinger said.
Which was called Idlewild in those days.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's right.
And you must understand, I was in a rented mink coat down to my ankles because...
20th Century Fox put us all on a mink coat.
It was winter.
Yeah.
But Pierce Allen just said, I want you to meet the next president of the United States.
And I said, hello.
And he said, hello.
And that was it.
That was it.
He left.
And then, as I got on the plane, I put my hand in my pocket of this rented mink coat.
Yeah, yeah.
And there was a little piece of paper with a phone number.
Oh.
Please.
JFK. Hee-hee.
He didn't know.
I didn't know who JFK was.
Honestly, I hadn't a clue.
I wish I had that piece of paper today.
Wow, you bet.
But if you had known who he was, would you have called him?
Well, I wasn't married.
You weren't married?
No.
I don't think he was at that point either.
I don't know.
What year was this?
Oh...
Actually, I think he was married at the time.
But the point is, apparently Kennedy had gypsy blood in him.
He could slip the note into a pocket unbeknownst to the person wearing the jacket.
Well, let me tell you something.
This is, of course, just to promote the JFK special.
Of course.
Was it History Channel?
No, they changed channels.
No, it's some drama.
Yeah, I know, I know.
It got drawn away from History Channel.
They didn't want to run it.
It's like a huge scam.
It's all promotion.
But first of all, let me say, Barbara Eden back in the day.
That's one mother.
I liked her.
Now, she wasn't a mother.
She was, like, young.
She was 17 or 18 at the time.
I think I self-radicalized watching her.
I'm pretty sure I did.
Yeah, I think a lot of people self-radicalized over her.
But the best thing...
That's my new one.
Yeah.
It used to be...
Is the worst.
I bet you wish you had that now.
When you watch the show, you know you're going to get material.
But, you know, it's always...
Okay, so I have a long...
Let me just say what I have here.
Wait, wait, wait.
One second.
One second, one second.
Okay, I'm done.
Why, are you going to use that for the beginning of the show?
No, no.
I just wanted to practice.
So I'm watching O'Reilly, and there's this guy from the New York Times.
I have his name.
I just thought, tell me if you don't find this to be quite hilarious, this clip.
This is Nicholas Kristof in New York.
Oh, he's the guy that inspired George Clooney to go spy on Sudan with satellites from Google.
Well, he's got this funny attitude about the humanitarianism of it all.
He's a spook.
He's a total spook.
It wouldn't surprise me.
But I get more of the kick out of his...
If you play this clip, I'll analyze what I think is funny about it when it gets to the end.
But in Rwanda, the UN was there and they didn't do the job.
Well, I mean, lots of people were there.
The French were there, and the French evacuated all their embassy staff and evacuated the embassy dog and left behind their Rwandan staff to be killed.
Right.
And so Americans are going, is that our fault?
I mean, are we supposed to be, you know, if the French won't do it, the UN won't do it, we have to do it?
Well, I mean, I guess from my point of view, I'd say that if nobody else is willing to do it, and we have...
But nobody else is willing to do it.
Yeah, precisely.
So if nobody else is willing to do it...
We have to do it.
Then, you know, if the choice is either we do it or 700,000 people are slaughtered, as in Rwanda, and if we can do it in a way that doesn't require a lot of time, doesn't require a vast cost, then, you know, I think that's...
Right.
But that's still wrong.
Because that's what the memo said.
You know, it was a humanitarian thing.
If it's not too much effort...
It doesn't take too much time.
Look, if it doesn't put me out, I'll take you to the airport.
But, you know, I know I've known you for 50 years, but screw you if it's going to interfere with my time with my kids.
You can get another ride to the airport.
You're not that good of a friend.
Now, this guy's a spokeshole for the Ministry of Truth.
I mean, give me a break, but this humanitarian, humanitarian, as long as it's convenient, it's just like, wow, this is your New York Times liberal.
Yeah, no, he's the guy that George Clooney shared a room with him in Sudan.
Okay, well then he's definitely, probably, or more than likely, a spook.
Yeah, of course.
Duh.
Duh, winning.
You know, Charlie, she's trying to get that copyrighted.
I know.
I know.
Well, we gotta call that out.
If you see something, say something.
Hey!
Stop trying to copyright that, Sheen.
We got our eye on you.
That self-radicalization you're doing is not good.
Hey!
Hey, big news from Get My Nation East, John.
How many times have we warned everybody about the Shantix?
Oh, lots.
Yeah.
We dedicated a show to it.
Yeah.
Father murdered family was quitting smoking and on medication that caused depression.
Oh, they didn't say the medication, did they?
Yeah, they did.
It's called Shampix in Gitmo Nation East.
Oh, they actually named it?
Yeah, absolutely.
Shampix.
Shampix is what it's called in Gitmo Nation East.
Yeah, he murdered his wife, his two kids.
The hearing was told on July 10th Mr.
Case had been prescribed Champix tablets to be taken twice a day.
He was then dispensed a further number of tablets by a chemist on July 23rd, the day they returned from holiday.
Horrible.
Horrible.
This stuff makes you crazy, people.
Don't take it.
Just smoke.
It's better to smoke than this, I think.
We got a couple of emails over the last month, so I used it and it worked for me.
Yeah.
Sure.
Okay.
Great.
I'm sure.
Usually, probably, you know what also works?
Willpower.
Yeah.
General practice.
What drug did you take to stop smoking?
Well, I started again, actually.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You and what about Mickey?
Yeah, right back there.
Now we're going to quit again.
It's horrible.
It was after the depression I had.
I had the depression thing about the whole constitution.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Huh.
Yeah.
No, I just smoked a cigarette and like, oh, we can have one more dinner.
And then it's like, boom, we're smoking.
So I got to stop again.
Well, that's terrible because it's miserable to go through the stopping process.
Well, it's a drug.
It's worse than heroin.
Yeah, I guess so.
It's hard.
It's very, very hard, and I feel like a horrible douchebag.
I'm not going to lie to you, though.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Okay, well, you stopped it before.
At least I didn't start drinking.
I'm looking forward to that.
This is John.
I'm going to start the show today.
I hit the wrong clips.
I'm self-radicalizing!
Gitmo Nation, Leprechaun, the health service executive, I guess that's their version of the...
We'll remove all stocks of the swine flu vaccine pandemrix from family doctors, GPs, general practitioner surgeries.
That's English for your family doctor shelf.
The vaccine has been linked to the disabling sleep disorder narcolepsy.
Yeah, that was reported in Canada.
We talked about that on the show.
No, it was reported in Finland.
That's where it started, Finland.
Oh, it's Finland, right.
But we talked about it when it first showed up.
Yeah, and it was like, oh, crazy.
You guys are crazy.
There's only one guy who keeps writing in with that voice.
Why don't you just block him?
Who?
The guy who keeps writing in saying we're crazy.
That one guy?
That one guy.
That one guy?
Who talks like this?
Who talks like this, man?
Yeah.
A retired Air Force major predicting UFO sightings at the royal wedding.
By the way, I want to stop you.
This narcolepsy thing is non-trivial.
No, it's a horrible disease.
Why is this not front page news in every newspaper in the country?
Because we have UFOs showing up at the royal wedding.
What are you talking about?
What's more important?
Well, you got it.
Are you nuts?
Are you crazy?
I want to know more.
I have some predictive programming.
Would you like to hear some of that?
Yeah.
So, this is from...
Let me just grab it here for a second.
From the movie No Escape.
This starred Ray Liotta.
And this is from late 90s, this movie.
Ray looked pretty good even then.
And listen to what they were saying about Libya.
Oops, oops, oops, oops.
I screwed that up.
Sorry.
Ah.
2011, Benghazi, Libya.
You marched directly up to your commanding officer, put a gun to his head, and blew his brains out.
Okay, so, 2011, Libya, Benghazi, the boots on the ground, this guy shoots his commanding officer, and now he's going to explain why to his dying general, who he goes to confess to.
I was the leader of a helicopter assault on a village.
It was supposed to be the source of bioweapons fire.
I should have known better.
I had a lot of combat time, so I should have known.
It was too easy.
There's no radar.
No air defense.
I kept telling them.
But he ordered us in anyway.
You've got to help me.
I always followed orders.
We take pride to the place.
So, if we follow the logic of our predictive programming, what we will see is we will see a bioweapons place being obliterated because apparently that's going to be there, but it isn't in Libya when we get the boots on the ground.
Interesting.
Where did you dig this one up?
It's in the movie No Escape.
Ray Liotta.
This was in 99?
94.
94?
Again, let me ask again one more time.
Where did you dig this one up?
One of our producers sent it to me.
Aha!
Okay.
What does that mean?
Why didn't I get a copy of this?
Was I CC'd on this memo?
You don't...
No.
No.
Well, I mean, you know what?
I don't even want to tell you why, actually.
Oh, he hates me.
No, no one hates you, but they're a little worried about, you know, you kind of, sometimes you let names slip out.
It's not all your fault.
Oh, it's a guy who has to be anonymous because he sent us an old clip of a movie?
No, he sends me other stuff.
Oh, one of your buddies in the agency.
Also, I have PGP, encrypted email, and my server's in my house.
It's not personal is what I'm saying.
Everybody really has secure correspondence that they need to take care of with us.
Send it through Adam.
He's got a PGP deal.
He's got a secure deal.
You don't know where it came from, where it's going.
I'm self-radicalizing, baby!
He's self-radicalizing in the corner.
So yeah, okay, fine, I accept that.
So don't take it personally?
No.
Good.
That's a great find.
It's an excellent find.
Yeah, that's another point.
But I'm not giving you credit for that one.
I have credit for playing it, for lining it up, for pressing the button?
No.
Okay, you get two points.
So, good.
Hey, by the way, I want to mention something that we keep forgetting to do, which is thanking our artists.
Wow.
You know, it's funny because I was looking back.
I was looking at noagendaartgenerator.info.
And it's just so beautiful.
We typically have four to six pieces to choose from for every episode.
And someone should do something with that.
I know that a couple people have, but that needs to be showcased more because it's so incredibly beautiful, the work that is done.
And it's hard as an artist.
You create something and then you don't get chosen, although we often go back into the archives and pull something out that we keep as an evergreen.
But yeah, it's, I believe, and we actually have proven that it is a fundamental part of our show, and you're right, the artists don't get, they always get a credit, the artist in question gets credit.
Yeah, but you know, they don't get credit as a group, and I was in New York, I was trying to get together with Nick the Rat, who's in New York.
Oh really, yeah.
I have to apologize for not doing it, so I'm going to make a special trip to New York because he's got some art for me, and I'm an art junkie, and so I'm going to probably go and just hang out with him for a while.
But I feel bad about the fact that last week we got nobody...
It's just one of those cycles.
It's a random number theory again, but we got pretty much no art as opposed to our normal...
We usually sometimes get five and six pieces that we get to pick from, and it's interesting to...
I mean, it makes the art, because we use our cover art, it's very integral to our show, and people comment on it constantly, because it's high level.
Extremely high level, sometimes high conceptual level.
It's always beautiful.
It always is.
It's phenomenal stuff.
Yeah.
Now, you probably have a clip to end with, so I just want to hit two categories that we cannot miss today.
I just want to say that as predicted, now scientists are starting to debate geoengineering and links in the show notes as always at barackobama2011.com.
Scientists debate risks of sunblocking other climate tweaks to fight warming.
So this is how the persistent jet contrails will be brought into our existence.
You can just wait for it.
It may not be this year.
It may be next year.
But I guarantee you, now they're gearing up to say, you know, we've been kind of experimenting with this stuff.
And hey, it's really good.
It'll save you whatever.
And I want you to take a look at those links in the show notes.
Also, this was rather disturbing.
Jerry Brown.
Who is our governor here in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California, yay!
Had a meeting with that Dakani Hedegaard, the EU Commissioner for Climate, and they're going to harmonize the carbon markets between Europe and California.
This is not a good development.
Yeah, because California is in such great financial condition that we can start throwing money away to scams, essentially.
International scams.
This is interesting.
Carbon taxes.
The AIR will now draft a detailed order outlining their case that the proposed regulations will allow the state's highest polluting industries to continue or even increase pollution.
You know what AIR stands for?
Association of Irritated Residents.
Kind of interesting.
Really?
Yeah.
Huh.
Anyway, so it's going to harmonize.
Oh, jeez.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see what really happens.
You never know what Brown's up to.
Meanwhile, it's raining.
It's cold.
Yeah, well, it finally stopped raining here after the storms we had.
Hail, and it was miserable.
Blew off a bunch of shingles off my roof.
I gotta have a new roof done.
Yeah, my shingles blowing off my roof.
Yeah, it was bad.
I don't really have, I have one clip that needs a lot of discussion.
We can run it on Sunday.
Let's run it now, man.
Let's wind it up.
Let's do some discussion.
I'm ready to go.
Tell me, you know, Al Walkie.
Wait a minute, this is the guy who spoke at the brunch at the Pentagon?
Yeah, that guy.
The guy who's caused all this problems.
I think there's a little beef going on between different agencies because when you listen to this backgrounder on the guy, which I picked off of one of the news channels, you can tell that he's obviously been working for an agency of some sort.
Duh.
Because he was arrested in 2002 and kept for a few hours, and he had a secondary warrant, and apparently an FBI agent, whose remains unnamed, came in and said, hey, you can let the guy go.
The warrant's been pulled.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Stop for a second.
So Anwar al-Awlaki, the self-radicalized, homegrown terrorist, Al-Qaeda, Inc.
In Yemen.
Who originally spoke at a Pentagon brunch after 9-11, was then arrested in 2002 and let go.
So we had two opportunities to have the number one terrorist in the world.
Squirrel!
Yeah, he's number one.
He's number one on the hit list.
And by the way, I think he was arrested for trying to pick up hookers.
Which shows he's a good Muslim.
He's a good Muslim.
But if you listen to this, you can just see that the whole thing is just...
I think that there's something going on where there's a debate going on between different aspects of the intelligence community.
one once is pissed about the other ones let this guy go and the other ones trying to run a game and they want to keep it going and these other guys are trying to bust them i don't know i have no idea but if you listen to this it's got spook city written all over it new questions tonight about why the feds released a radical american cleric with links to recent terror plots against the u.s and ties to at least two of the 9-11 hijackers
Investigators have connected Anwar al-Awlaki to the attempted Christmas Day underwear bombing, the Fort Hood massacre, and the botched Times Square bombing.
As Fox News has reported, the feds had Awlaki in custody back in 2002 and had a warrant for his arrest.
But they ended up letting him go.
National correspondent Catherine Herridge now live at our DC newsroom.
Catherine, the reporting you've done with our specials unit came up at a hearing on Capitol Hill today, right?
Well, that's right, John.
We've gathered strong evidence suggesting this warrant for Lockheed's arrest in 2002 on passport fraud and the decision to pull it on the same day the cleric re-entered the U.S. was never provided to the 9-11 Commission.
And that's important because the Commission was entertaining the idea that a Lockheed may have been part of a pre-9-11 support cell.
Last man.
Wait a minute.
Supports?
Is that like a group that gets together?
Like, how you...
Hey, man.
I'm not feeling...
Can they talk about books?
I'm not feeling the terrorism today.
No.
Hey, my name's Anwar Alalaki.
Hi, Al!
My name is Al.
Hi, Al.
So they have a, now they clip to a little piece of C-SPAN footage where they're talking to the head of the FBI, what's his name, who has got nothing really important to say, but they throw it in there.
It's kind of interesting.
You're concerning a Fox News report about the Bureau's October 2002 decision to release Anwar Al-Aqwi.
From custody upon his return to the U.S. despite an outstanding warrant for his arrest at that time.
If this was not provided to the 9-11 Commission, it was certainly not by intent.
It may well have been not in a file, one of the files that we provided to the 9-11 Commission.
The official position of the Justice Department is that it was a series of coincidences that allowed Oloky to slip through the net, adding that there was not enough evidence to keep the warrant active for his arrest, though that position is disputed by current and former investigators familiar with the case, John.
So, you know, a lot of people probably don't realize the guy that U.S. officials now say is terrorist number one was actually in U.S. custody back in 2002.
Well, that's correct.
The first American on the CIA's kill or capture list was held in federal custody.
Wait a minute.
Kill or capture list?
Is this published?
Apparently the CIA has a kill or capture list.
Hold on a second.
Let me take a look at the CIA kill or capture.
I've got to Google this.
If they have an actual website that is CIA.gov slash kill or capture, I'm...
How do these news people know this?
Was there a press release?
Nobody says this is kind of odd that they would know this or that it exists.
What happened to us when the CIA became kind of like a public institution?
It used to be a secret agency, wasn't it?
Hold on a second.
I'm looking here.
Let me see.
CIA YouTube.
Oh, this is interesting.
Their site chain.
Let me see.
Kill or capture.
I'm just going to Google it.
Just search on their site.
Kill or capture.
Let's see if...
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Oh, it's got a search.
They're waiting while they're getting your IP address.
Error.
A server error has occurred.
Check server response code in details.
Yeah, server error.
Somebody's listening to the show.
Sorry.
Cut that thing out there now!
Cut it!
Pull a plug!
Just pull a plug!
Let me try again.
That's hilarious.
On their site itself, I get a 500 server response code.
That's because they got their techno experts on the case.
They just want me to click on the kids page.
That's all they want me to do.
Which they have.
They have a kids page.
But I don't understand.
Where's the...
It's still waiting.
How hard is this search, kill or capture?
How hard can this be?
There's a list apparently...
There's a bunch of horns honking right now in Langley.
Anyone who looks up kill or capture on the site...
Is that wrong?
Is that wrong of me to do?
Well, it's too late now.
But it's just sitting there.
It's not doing anything.
Let me go back home.
Alright.
Let me see.
CIA open initiative, careers, offices, news information, human resources.
I mean, where would I find this?
CIA and the war on terrorism.
Maybe that's where it is.
Let's see.
There's no kill and capture list.
This is bogus.
If you type in CIA kill or capture in Google, you get a shitload of stuff.
Yeah, but not from the CIA. No, but somebody must have a press office.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Yeah, but that's ridiculous.
You think the media just made it up?
Apparently.
Apparently.
I mean, I think that they should have, I mean, we have the top ten most wanted.
If we're doing it, if we're allowing, look, Anwar al-Awlaki, I don't know the guy, but he's an American citizen.
He can be killed by the CIA because they have a killer capture list and he's on it.
So you can kill American citizens.
I'd like to know if I'm on the list.
Well, you're going to be if you keep this up.
Let's listen to the rest of your clip.
For nearly three hours on October 10, 2002, and was released only after an FBI agent told customs officers that an arrest warrant for passport fraud had been pulled back.
Fox's reporting has shown that the timeline does not add up and that the warrant was still active when Al-Awlaki was allowed to walk away.
This mugshot of the cleric was taken after he was busted for soliciting a prostitute in San Diego.
Now, after his release by customs in 2002, Al-Awlaki then showed up at the home of Ali Al-Tamimi, who was at the time...
Oh, Ali Al-Tamimi!
It was also in the support group.
If you back it up a little bit, you realize, I mean, by the theory that Al Walkie, whatever, Al, was working for somebody, he had to go to this meeting because that guy was targeted.
Let's listen again.
Now, after his release by Customs in 2002, Al Walkie then showed up at the home of Ali El Tamimi, who was at the time the focus of...
Were they following him?!
Hold on a second.
Wait, they let him go because the warrant was passed.
The guy's good to go.
He tried to get a prostitute.
Nothing came of it.
And then he went to a meeting with this guy.
Were they following him?
Well, yeah.
Well, that's what I'm saying, but they don't indicate any of this in this news report.
He was obviously being followed.
It was part of a scheme.
We've got to get on the press release list for the CIA, because these guys get better stuff than we do.
I want to have the kill and capture list.
FBI counterterrorism investigation involving the same FBI agent.
There has been no public explanation for what happened, and as Congressman Wolf wrote to the FBI Justice Department, think how history would be different for the Fort Hood families if a Lockheed had been held and prosecuted nine years ago.
Yeah, it would have been so different.
Where's Osama Bin Laden?
Send Pierce Morgan to Afghanistan to go find Osama Bin Laden.
Yeah, well, the whole thing's a scam.
So we're just being scammed.
The public is being scammed left and right.
The media is giving us crappy reports and is making everything mysterious.
And here we are, and here we are, just the two of us and our audience going, wow.
Going, wow.
Well, at least we're informed.
Hey, by the way, Leon Panetta...
It will apparently be the new defense secretary.
Oh, he came out of the CIA? Yeah.
Well, I guess that's the new routing, because Gates was in the CIA. Exactly.
That is the routing.
So, okay, so we're going to see, right now we've got Eric Schmidt, who I chatted with, who will be in the, I guess, going to Commerce or one of these other parts.
He'll be routed to two or three things, end up at the CIA, then he'll eventually be, so in other words, the end game is to become the head of the Defense Department.
Yeah, he'll be running the military.
Eric Schmidt.
Who hates you, by the way.
Who thinks you're an idiot.
All right, everybody.
You are once again informed.
Thank you very much for your support of this program.
We highly appreciate it.
