Time Text
I am going to homeschool her with a stripper pole and just move straight.
Just move straight.
So she can go straight to college.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, April 14, 2011.
Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 2, Niner 5.
This is No Agenda.
Enjoying my spring spears high on top of the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California in the morning.
I'm Adam Curry.
And with no further ado, and from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
Hey, in the morning to you, John.
It still pots you down when it's playing the thing.
Oh, really?
No.
I'll tell you what, then you pot it up on your end.
I'd be up and down and up and down.
I'll just strain to hear you.
It's okay.
It only lasts for a few seconds.
I can turn this up a little bit.
Who knows?
No, don't do it.
Don't mess with it.
Don't break what's fixed.
In the morning to all ships at sea, all boots in the ground, and of course all of our human resources who are all charged up and ready to go in our chat room at noagendastream.com.
They've got their fingers on the keyboards and foots on the ground.
And some of them, since it's early in the morning, feed in the air.
Some of them.
Oh, man.
So, you know what I just realized?
You know what's kind of annoying about this show?
There's a sales pitch for you!
Wow!
Yeah, well, annoying for us.
Annoying for us.
Oh, that you have to get up at 5 in the morning?
No, I like that.
I actually wake up, I'm refreshed, and I'm ready to go.
Most of the time.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
It's 5.30, by the way.
It's not 5 o'clock.
It's 5.30 on show days.
If you were doing the Today Show in New York City, you'd be getting up at 4.
Yeah, and I'd be a slave.
Now I get up and I feel like a free man.
I'm a free man!
But no, the problem is, you know, we talk about stuff, and then two to four weeks later, it actually happens.
Yeah.
And then it's boring.
You know, then it's like, ah.
Well, I got one that I think we talked about four weeks ago or whenever, and it came to pass, and it's not boring, and it's kind of a surprise.
Oh, what's that, my friend?
Want to get right to that?
Yeah, let's rock it.
Well, we talked about, we were making a prediction of who was going to be the representative, the spokeshole for the Congo, which was the next step, I think.
Oh, I know, I know.
I saw this, too.
Oh, you did?
I don't have a clip, though.
I see you've got a clip.
We were both wrong.
It's unbelievable.
Well, we never thought to ask.
I mean, we had our list of people.
Who did we predict?
I think you had the one.
Okay, well, first of all, let's just explain for those of you who are new to the No Agenda show.
George Clooney has the Sudan.
We've got Matt Damon has, what does he have again?
I don't know.
I thought Clooney had...
No, Clooney has Sudan.
Clooney's in Sudan.
Or was it Somalia?
No, he's not in Somalia.
It's Sudan.
Okay, Sudan.
And then Matt Damon, I don't know.
What does he have?
I don't remember.
But we were thinking, okay, who is it going to be further down south?
Because the pipeline has got to go all the way from north to south.
Right, it's got to go through all these countries.
We know what countries they are.
Congo was up on the list.
And then we figured there was...
I thought it was going to be Leonardo DiCaprio.
He was going to be somewhere like South Africa.
We never thought of any women.
When we did, we considered one of the women from Oceans 11.
I can't remember who was it.
No, in passing.
Yeah.
Angelina Jolie were like, nah.
She's in charge of the baby store in Malawi.
No, that's Madonna.
I'm sorry.
Where does Angelina buy her kids?
I don't know.
All over the place.
These women, they're internationalists.
They're jet-setters.
They buy their kids where they can.
She doesn't discriminate where she buys their kids.
She shops.
She shops around, by the way.
Comparative shopping.
She's like, let me see.
Well, the quality of these kids here is good, but I think I should go up north a little bit because, you know, you get a better deal.
And you get a, you know, five-year warranty.
Right.
That's so horrible.
Alright, so why don't you set it up?
I can't believe it.
Well, here's the clip that as soon as you'll hear her, and we might as well tell you who it is.
It seems to be Ashley Judd.
And here's a clip from, she's on, she's starting to make her moves around here.
I've got two clips, and here's the one that clinched the deal, and it's on the Chris Matthews show.
And so the things that PSI is doing, things such as the One Campaign, which raises tremendous awareness about how simple...
That's Bono's thing, the one campaign.
So that's a true giveaway.
What about Bill Clinton?
Tell me, because I don't mind singing his song.
My son worked for him, and I think he did it in Rwanda, where Michael worked.
He's done great work, and nobody else ever did it before.
AID, the American agencies, didn't do anything.
He went in there, and all of a sudden, these people are alive.
I'm a big fan of the Clinton Global Initiative.
I think that it...
Is making a remarkable impact worldwide.
And I'm very grateful that the President appointed me to the Rethinking Refugee Committee.
Oh my God, this is number three.
Appointed by the President.
On which I'm very proud.
Yeah, on which I serve.
Yeah, he's still a President.
We want to move the needle on the refugee issue.
Because 80% of all refugees worldwide are girls, are women and children.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, script, script.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, what was it again?
Women.
And so we're going to work specifically in Congo, where I've been to Congo multiple times.
I'm going back in July.
Oh, wow.
So let me just mention, Angelina Jolie has Tunisia.
That's where she's covering Tunisia.
And it's all under this refugee BS. Yeah.
Now, here's the thing that I... Now, I'm watching this going, okay, well, we missed that one.
Normally, I mean, I'm...
By the way, she's the hot judd.
Yeah, she is the prettiest one.
Although the old lady is not bad looking.
Okay, John, I'll step away from that one.
Have you seen her?
They've got this reality show now.
Oh, really?
She doesn't look as good as she used to?
Well, she's very ill.
She's a very ill woman.
I want to say...
This is not known to me.
Yeah, no.
She fell very, I think maybe Parkinson's or something.
Oh, okay.
But really like, you know, six or seven years ago.
And when you look at her, I mean, yeah, she used to be, you know, she used to be kind of milfy.
But now she's just like, not so good.
But they've had a bit of a falling out.
I think the whole family's had a bit of a falling out.
They're competitive women.
Yeah, good point.
So, meanwhile, Ashley here, she's gotten to Congo.
So I'm watching this going, well, you know, she doesn't have a handler.
You know, every time you see...
Oh, she's got to have a handler.
What is that?
Well, I think not, and I'll tell you why.
I think she's a big...
Sorry.
I don't think she has a handler the way Clooney does.
She is running...
Well, she's smarter than Clooney.
That's obvious.
I think she also, if you listen to clip number two, you'll see the reason why.
And I'm sure Clinton said, look, you have to either...
Or Clinton or whoever, who's really behind all this, said, look, you have to have a handler because, you know, you're a busy person.
You're an actress and you do this and that.
It's just how it works.
It's how the agency runs things.
Listen...
To clip two and you'll see what change was made.
And also, you know, naturally we need to improve the conditions in camps, but we need to eradicate the underlying causes and conditions that create forcibly displaced populations.
Why'd you give up acting to do this?
Because this is more fun.
I love this.
I love this with all my heart.
Because you were a big star.
You may be again.
Let me ask you about malaria because I had it.
She's given up acting, eh?
Yeah, so now she's going to be doing, this is her acting full time.
Yeah, but exactly.
She doesn't say anything.
You've given up acting.
She's like, oh, what are you talking about?
This is the best gig ever.
No, she did.
She nodded her head.
She's given up acting.
She likes this.
It's more fun.
She talks about it later in the interview.
She's given up acting.
She probably doesn't expect to go back into it.
This is her new job.
This is great.
Best gig ever.
And she thinks it's fun, by the way, and I have to ask, you know, this is fine, I think maybe, is it really fun to be dealing with refugee situations and misery and kind of, you know, I mean, this is not a, how is that fun?
Oh, these people are miserable, they're all dying and I'm not?
I can tell you how it's fun.
I think I have it.
Because...
The Congo, of course, is huge, right?
It's one of the largest regions in Africa.
She's going to be joined by Charlize Theron.
She's also...
You just dug this up?
Or this is part of your bit?
No, it's not a bit.
It's true.
I've got it right here.
I mean, your bit.
I mean, this is part of your side of this.
Yeah, I've got it right here.
So they're going to be partying in the Congo.
Exactly.
Oh, show title.
It's too early for that.
Partying in the Congo.
Yay!
Duck call, duck call.
Woo!
Yay, everybody!
We're partying in the Congo.
Two hot chicks in the Congo.
Now, that'll put a smile on the elite's face.
Yeah.
I mean, think about it.
If you really need to do something nasty in the Congo, and you really want to get some guys on board, some of these banksters, And some of these oil douchebags.
You need to get a couple of these hot chicks down there.
That's the way to go.
So yeah, Charlize Theron will be joining her.
Although not expressly so noted.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
in women is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do.
Little did we know that he was talking about these hot chicks and not about refugee women.
Banking would say, yeah, investing in women.
Very good.
So what's our next country further down, do you Do you have a map in front of you?
Because now we can still predict there's going to be, I think there's two more countries involved that they have to find spokesholds for.
We have a couple.
And by the way, it's heating up there in Clooney's region.
800 civilians killed in southern Sudan so far this year.
Darfur refugees take 12 Sudan aid workers hostage.
So it's happening, right?
They're heating it up.
This is why George is a little quiet.
Let me see, we've got, well, Chod.
Chod, or Chad.
Do we have a Chad, like a celebrity Chad, who could just fit in there nicely, since he's already named Chad?
No, Chad is a passé.
Okay, so we don't need Niger because it's a little off to the left.
Chad we need?
Chad.
We have the Congo, obviously.
That's covered.
Boy, the Congo's big.
Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
I still think South Africa is going to be easy.
No, I don't think South Africa's ever going to get picked up.
Well, but the pipeline has to go.
Exactly.
I mean, that's Leonardo's.
Leonardo's just like, hey, bitches, get off.
It's covered.
Go away.
Yeah, in fact, that's probably true.
He's already got South Africa.
Yeah, he's got it.
So we've got the Central African Republic, which is right above the Congo.
Is that the pipeline going to go through there?
Do you know?
I don't think so.
So you can either go through the Central African Republic or Uganda.
I think that Uganda and the CAR are such a hassle, they're just going straight down through the Congo and it's done.
It's like a three degree detour and you don't go through Uganda.
Yeah, you don't want to go through Uganda.
But you still need Zambia and Zimbabwe.
We need those two.
So Zambia and Zimbabwe are the two that are left.
Zimbabwe, of course, they've been working on that for a long, long time.
They can't get that guy out.
Oh, okay.
Right?
Oh, right, yeah.
Mugabe.
Yeah, Mugabe's got to go.
Hey, Mugabs.
Sorry, man.
Meanwhile, the path to Persia continues, John.
And speaking of spokesholes, Jay Carney, who is the new spokeshole for the White House, had a true, beautiful Freudian slip on his...
Oh, you have it?
Yeah.
Did you hear this one?
Because I have it.
No.
Yeah.
So, of course, everyone wants to know...
Just to reiterate, the path to Persia is this plan that has been around, it's documented, of how...
The West, I would say the U.S. and the U.K., certainly the banking cartels, eventually want to wind up taking over Iran.
And, you know, baby steps, right?
Little baby steps.
We've got to do small things first before we get to the...
They tried to spark this with the Green Revolution.
It failed.
And so it was back to the drawing board.
But the plan still exists.
Path to Persia.
So we've got Egypt, Tunisia, Libya.
And what could be next?
Well...
Spokeshole Carney, let it slip.
And please listen to the reporter's response, who of course don't report on this at all and actually are complicit in the entire plot.
He was no longer the legitimate president of the country, that the elections that displaced him were...
He's talking about Libya, obviously.
Oops, there we go.
Libya?
Yeah, he's talking about Libya.
He was no longer the legitimate president of the country, that the elections that displaced him were free and fair, and we have supported the efforts of those who would bring him, convince him to remove himself and we have supported the efforts of those who would bring him, And we have been very involved in The effort at the international community level to help make that happen.
So we welcome that development.
And on Syria, I would say that...
I'm sorry.
On Libya, I can also...
Yeah, well, that was on the list that we played the clip.
For people who haven't heard the show much.
We played the Wesley Clark clip.
I wish you'd play it again.
Which outlines exactly what happened and when it was all planned.
But what elections is he talking about regarding Gaddafi?
No, I'm sorry.
I think he was talking about Egypt.
And then he went to Libya.
But then instead of saying Libya, he slips and he says Syria.
Okay.
Which, of course, because this guy, he's new, right?
So he's not well-trained.
They were probably just talking about Syria before the press conference.
Oh, yeah, they were probably inundating him with too much information.
Exactly.
And he's like, oh, Syria.
But listen.
Now, I'm glad you stopped me there.
Listen to the press.
When they call, they say, no, no, you mean Libya.
No, no, no, it's like little school children, like Missy Finkelstein.
No, teacher, no, you're wrong, teacher.
You're wrong, it's Libya, not Syria, not even questioning.
And then they all, no, let's start.
But Libya, I can also...
You can tell that the unrest in the region is broad, right?
But in Libya...
Teacher made a mistake.
Wesley Clark did specifically mention Syria.
There's one more.
I guess Iran was in there, too.
Yeah, it's all falling into place.
Yeah.
No, it was Syria, Yemen.
We have Yemen.
That's a done deal.
What are we missing here?
I think Iran was the last one on the list.
It's the path to Persia.
Yeah, we've got Iraq.
We've got the other side.
We've got Afghanistan.
We've got Pakistan.
So we're just slowly surrounding Iran, and that's the big one.
That is the big one.
But it was just funny.
I couldn't believe...
And in the same speech, the only thing anyone picked up in the news, because now I'm starting to pay attention to that, is like, okay, so what are they going to report from this 45-minute press conference?
The only thing they report on is, again, this is why I get so bored...
Is that spokeshole Carney reiterates what little Timmy Geithner said about, oh, not raising the debt limit would be a catastrophe.
And everyone's like, oh, the White House says it would be a catastrophe.
Yeah, well, we played little Timmy from his C-SPAN testimony three weeks ago now, where he said May 16th.
And we talked about this.
This is what it's really about.
It's like, duh.
Duh!
And now...
We speak in riddles.
I suppose somebody just new to the show would come here, what the hell are these guys talking about?
But here's what happens.
You think that, but then three weeks after you've listened to your one episode, you go, oh, wait a minute.
Yeah, I think a lot of this stuff sinks in after a while.
Well, no, but that's when it hits the news.
We are so ahead and so...
All of this is so predictable.
It's like, okay, all right, here's what's going to happen.
You want to just hear Ron Paul on this whole budget thing?
Because, of course, you know, the elephant...
And this is boring to me, too.
This bitching and moaning about nickel and diming.
And, you know, humans can't understand big numbers.
A trillion?
It's impossible.
You can't fathom a thousand.
You can barely fathom a billion.
In fact, I don't think you can do that either.
It's a thousand million.
It's very, very hard.
And so when people hear billion here, billion there.
And by the way, in the budget, in that thing they passed, that temporary one-week thing, a billion for trains.
We needed that?
A billion for trains?
Were they spending that in a week?
Well, you know, the joke of the whole thing is that according to the Congressional Budget Office, one report, they came out and they said that when they did the math on this $38 billion or whatever the heck it was, it came to $500 million.
They said it's all bullcrap.
Yeah.
But the elephant in the room is the war, you idiots.
You know, that's where all the money's going.
And they're not pounding.
Well, they are literally pounding it in the sand.
But it's going to the military-industrial complex.
They're pounding it into the sand.
They're pounding our money into the sand, literally.
Oh, too bad there's some people in between the bomb and the sand, but they're literally doing that.
And thank goodness for Ron Paul, although it's meaningless.
It's totally meaningless.
He's the only guy besides him and Kucinich.
Yeah.
Well, he actually says that in this clip, which is kind of fun, because he basically says, it's futile.
But listen to what he's talking about.
This is a good clip, and I love what he says.
Most of the time.
Well, anyway.
From Tim Geithner, if you heard from Bernanke, they say, look, this would be cataclysmic.
This would be an apocalypse.
Something about Anderson Cooper saying cataclysmic sounds dirty.
You know what I mean?
It's like, yeah.
Not to raise the debt ceiling, that basically we wouldn't be able to pay our obligations, our bond rating would be shot, inflation would shoot up.
Well, no.
When they print money, that's inflation.
That's literally inflation.
They always use fear tactics.
It's very similar to saying that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapon and he was going to bomb us, and therefore we had to go to war.
Very similar to building up the fear after the financial crisis.
We'll have a Great Depression if we don't do it.
And yet the Depression would have come to the people who were ripping us off.
So they gave the Depression to the people who lost their homes.
I love that.
They gave the Depression.
Hey, slaves, take this!
What's that?
Here's your depression.
That's a pretty bow on it.
It's your depression, slaves.
Shut up.
So, yes, they always use a fear-mongering in the establishment, whether it's the Federal Reserve or Treasury.
They're going to come and say, raise it up.
Legalize what we're doing.
Raise it up!
Raise it up!
Keep the system going for a long time.
Never look at the real problems of cutting back the size and scope of government.
There was a lot of talk about what would happen to Tea Party Republicans when they were coming to the House, when they were coming to the Senate for the first time, whether they would somehow change, whether Washington would change them, they would change Washington.
As you see it, as you see these debates happening, as you see the compromise that happened last week and no doubt will happen this week, do you think the Tea Party has changed, those folks have changed, your son included?
I don't think he's changed.
He's very determined, and several of them are.
You have to realize, though, even everybody that was newly elected didn't get elected by the Tea Party, so you have to take the new members and maybe cut them in half, and most of them really want to, and they've stuck to their guns, but they don't have any real clout.
I mean, they're not the majority in the House, and you still have the Senate, and you still have the President, so there's no way they're going to have their way, Squirrel!
I love it the way, you know, actually he says one last beautiful thing.
I'm just hoping that more Americans will wake up and send a stronger message here to Washington to clean up our act.
That's about it.
That's all we can do.
Yeah, good luck.
Yeah, well we're part of it.
We're waking people up and they're going like, where's the coffee?
I'm awake now.
Let's wake up a few people by thanking some of our executive producers.
What's this pretty gift?
It's a depression slave.
Nice.
So we have a new night, one standalone executive producer night, and then we have one, two, three, four, five members of the 300 Club and executive producers, and then an associate executive producer.
And we'll start with Mark True, who's in North Andover, Massachusetts.
And actually, we may have one.
Hold on a second.
I'm not going to screw this up.
So we're going to knight him today.
He'll be Sir Mark True.
Sir True.
That's kind of cool.
Sir True.
Sir True.
So I have one.
I have the checks that came in.
I'm going to go through them today.
And we did get a $200.
I don't know if we credited this when it came out at show 290.
I think we did.
Do you remember CK Creative, LLC? Yes, I do.
Okay.
Alright, then he's been credited.
So we have one other executive producer, I don't think we credited, which is Kevin McNulty, I'm not sure.
By the way, every single person who donates, I pretty much remember all the names.
These are people who will go with me to my grave.
They're going to be at your grave?
Yeah, they'll be smoking me.
Smoking you.
Who was it that Mick Jagger's partner that smoked his dad or something?
It was disgusting.
Keith Richards smoked his dad.
When I heard that, and I think I've actually said this longer than that story, I've told my daughter and I've told Miss Mickey, I said, if I die before you, you've got to burn me and smoke me.
Count me out.
Put me in a bowl.
Well, we're going to add a little weeds in there to make the experience nice.
Yeah, smoke me.
Okay.
You know, I think we just lost half the audience.
Okay.
My ring size is 13.5.
This is Mark True, North Andover, Massachusetts.
Gave us a nice, he's now the executive producer, $1,000 night.
Love the show.
Please karma and de-douche double shot so I may start my knighthood fresh.
Oh, all right.
Well, we can do that.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Nice.
And we will be knighting you later on, sir.
Out of Zurich, Switzerland, Cloud Sigma AG. Just letting you know we're in a position to start making donations.
I just organized a donation at 33333 to the show via PayPal.
Really pleased to be able to support the show with respect to the donation.
You can only mention it came from the Cloud Sigma team without any names.
I don't even got any names to give.
It's CloudSigma.com.
I don't know what they do.
If you are okay mentioning our company URL, that's great, which you just did.
I totally appreciate we don't do any advertising, so if not an issue, long may the show continue.
And we don't wish to be underwriters.
There you go.
They do cloud servers.
No risk, no obligation.
CloudSigma.com.
Josiah Thomas, West Des Moines, Iowa.
Or as they might say someplace else, Des Moines.
In the morning, tax refund coming your way.
Thank you very much.
Please plug, pronounced RecoEngine, R-E-C-O-Engine.com.
Tech buying made simple.
33333.
Hans-Jörg Schultz in Bad Doberen.
Bad means bath, though it was a resort town at one time in his career.
Thanks for everything.
I'm enjoying this show.
And by the way, most of the towns that say Bad are pretty cool.
Thanks for everything.
I'm enjoying this show.
They're not bad, is what you're saying.
They're not.
Yeah, exactly.
That's good.
I'm enjoying the show and stream immensely.
And here's some value for value 300 club member.
Anonymous from Edmonton, Alberta, 300 club member.
Simon, Alicia, Elsternwick, Victoria, Australia.
Love the show.
Please send some karma for my family so that we can continue to see through the deception that is out there.
Also, it'd be great to go beyond the media assassination and understand why the elites do this at a fundamental level.
Thanks for that.
You've got karma.
Why do the elites do this at a fundamental level?
Because they can.
Because they're all connected.
They're all related, and this has been passed on for centuries.
Or as Ashley Judd says when she sees the huddling, miserable masses, it's fun!
Oh, look at them.
They're dying.
Hey, his arm fell off.
That's fun.
Squirrel!
Robert Holsey in Vallejo, California.
Hey Adam, I was disconcerned about you picking up the smokes and I wanted to share with you the secret alternative mantra I used to quit.
When you're having a craving, say out loud, be a bit better than Obama today.
I also wanted to call out Nick McNeil as a douchebag.
That is very funny.
Douchebag!
I shall be a bit better than Obama today.
And it has nice alliteration to it.
He wants to get some karma for his finals.
He's a student in my forthcoming job hunt.
I'll soon be graduating with a totally useless degree in English from Cal.
Well, here's some karma for that degree, my friend.
You've got karma.
I love it.
You know, students.
It's not like students are rolling in the dough, you know?
No, we appreciate the student support, that's for sure.
And he went to Cal, so I can assure him that he'll do fine.
Kevin McNulty, $200, from Delaware, Ohio.
So he'll be an associate executive producer.
So we want to thank everyone who contributed to the executive and associate executive producer levels for this show.
It keeps us going, and we appreciate that to an extreme.
Thank you very much.
Just a couple of PR mentions today.
Came in late from Tom, who had a really good idea.
Noagendafoto.com is what he's registered.
Now, this is not forwarding to the NoAgendaShow.com website.
He is a photographer and photo editor by trade and thought he could create an addition to the already large array of No Agenda sites.
So this will go into the sites that rock.
Walking the streets of Gitmo Nation glass buildings, I'm constantly confronted by memes and sometimes even people mentioned on the show.
I'm creating a collection of Gitmo Nation photographs myself, but thought this would be something other producers could easily be a part of.
If there's enough support, that means submissions, I'd love to publish a book.
I published a couple myself through Blurb.
So take a look at noagendaphoto.com.
Both John and I think that's a great idea.
Yeah, so if you're walking around, you got your cell phone, and you see something wacky that is classic no agenda material, take a picture and send it in.
It'll go on the website.
Matt, who runs ShutUpSlave.com, which is forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com, says, I took Tyler's challenge suggested from episode 2, 9, or 3.
And indeed, I set up ShutUpSlave.com slash donate to redirect to Dvorak.org slash NA. Beautiful.
Some other forwards to the show.
WeirdGoogleSearches.com, which I'm sure someone does.
Someone hits that somewhere along the line.
Yeah.
SparkNation.com, now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
And here's Julio.
He says, I converted my friend Victor Santana, no relation, into a No Agenda human resource.
He bought the domain dedouche.me and is redirecting it to noagendashow.com.
This is a nice one.
We have two, hypnopolitics.com and napredictions.com, both being forward as noagendashow.com.
GovernmentTerror.com, GoogleBlocked.com, and FleeceBack.com, all being forwarded.
That's nice.
Yeah, EnergyConnection.me.
And we have to mention, I believe, in the donation segment, so I'll just put it here.
He wanted a PR credit.
The Green Dice, I guess, sold out, and we have a donation coming up later on in the show from NoAgendaDice.com.
We appreciate that.
Oh yes, I wanted to mention we have our own PR initiative underway.
It is the No Agenda Gitmo Nation Tour.
Miss Mickey and I would like to depart somewhere the second week of July for a minimum of four, probably five to six weeks, and we'd like to tour around all of Gitmo Nation, the United States.
And we'd like to visit all of our human resources and producers of the show.
We need the RV. Someone needs to loan you an RV for a month and a half?
Yeah, a month and a half.
And we'll pay for insurance.
We'll pay for gas, obviously, which will be expensive enough.
But I looked at renting one of them.
I can't afford it.
That's out of control.
You get like 30 cents a mile, please.
So we need an RV. It doesn't necessarily have to be one that poops the living room out of its belly, out of the sides, which is cool.
As long as we can put up a green screen somewhere, as long as we can cook, and a shower, because I don't want to be dependent upon anything else.
But there's got to be someone who has...
We can work out some kind of deal.
It doesn't have to be new.
We just need the wheels.
And so I wanted to put the shout out early in the show.
A knighthood beckons.
Ooh.
Yeah.
A knighthood beckons.
That's a good one, John.
And this will be good for the show.
It's not like, you know, oh, we want to go on vacation.
And by the way, this is like, it's camping, okay?
It gets old fast.
I'm sure there will be trials and tribulations along the way.
But we will document it.
We'll be doing the show from the road.
We'll be taking pictures, posting them.
We'll be tracking it on the map.
We're going to be visiting human resources and producers.
It's a great idea.
We're very serious.
We've now cleared the decks.
I'm going to be doing the big app show in the bus.
So it's like we're literally closing up the shop.
And the only alternative is, and I don't want to go this way, but the only alternative is to give up.
Hitchhike!
To give up the watchtower, close it down, and rent a place for when we come back and put everything in storage.
But that's a nightmare.
No, no, no.
Somebody out there must have one of these.
They'd be glad to see you.
You could take them out to dinner, give them a knighthood, and grab the thing.
You got it insured.
You drive it around.
You drop it off.
You know, typically this sewage system will jam up.
There's all these repair places all over the country, by the way.
We took one of these once.
And so when something weird happens, you get it fixed and it doesn't cost that much.
It's surprisingly cheap.
And there's all these places to stop.
There's a whole club.
There's two or three of these clubs.
Good Sam or Good Neighborhood or something.
I forgot the name of them.
But there's a couple that you join these clubs.
They cost like 20 bucks, you remember.
And you can stay at all these different places.
You can get to hook up the cable.
You hook up the high-speed modem.
You can move into some little community for a couple of days.
And then you drive off.
Then you can stop at a national park.
And you can set up shop there.
And that's usually cheaper.
But you don't have a high-speed internet connection.
It's an interesting experience, and especially somebody who spent most of their time in Europe would find it quite fascinating, especially when you get to places like Appalachia up in the northern part of Arkansas, or Arkansas itself.
Hey, John, we're already going.
You don't have to convince anybody.
But I think there's more to it.
I think for the show, we can do daily reports and we can do special episodes or talk with people that we meet along the way.
I think it will really pull Gitmo Nation West together.
But we want to go all the way around.
We want to do the full 360.
So not just like back and forth.
No, the full deal.
Anyway, so drop us a mail about that.
Now, to wind it up...
Whoa, what is that?
Go away.
I thought it was a pledge break.
It is!
There you go!
Right on cue!
Danny, producer Danny, sent a couple of donation ideas for things that you and I have not thought about.
There's a big one coming up on 420.
420.
John, hello.
Is this on?
420.
April 20th.
420 is a great donation.
Yeah, we get it.
We get it.
Okay.
Easter, 424.
Apparently Obama, by the way, is coming to San Francisco on 420.
Really?
Yeah.
Really.
Coincidence?
Coincidence?
I think not!
Then he says 424 for Easter or, and this is really the one that you and I spoke about, 521 for End of the World Day.
What does it matter?
Support the show with 521 because on 522 we will all be dead.
So we highly appreciate the support for the show from, to be knighted, Sir Mark True, and our executive producers and 300 Club members, Cloud Sigma AG, Josiah Thomas from RicoEngine.com, Hans-Jörg Schultz, Anonymous, Simon Alicia, Robert Halsey, and Kevin Gignolte.
Everyone else out there, you are a producer, so you have an obligation for our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
World Order!
Say it loud and proud, everybody!
Shut up!
Slaves!
Shutupslaves.com, of course, forwarding to noagentshow.com, as does seanhannity.com.
For all you Hannity heads.
At least for now.
For a while.
While the going's good.
Hey, so, Gitmo Nation Kiwi.
This is kind of interesting what's been going on down there, which, by the way, is not unique to New Zealand.
But in the midst of everyone still kind of recovering, if not monetarily and physically from the earthquake, They passed file sharing legislation, which I'd like to point out is about to pass in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, is now being ramped up again in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
So it's all kind of at the same time, they're all rolling it together.
Now, here's the bad news.
They created a hashtag for this.
Oh no.
Blackout.
And everyone turned their Twitter icon black.
Hello.
Hello.
In protest.
Yeah, and they were tweeting about how lame it is.
This is lame, man.
If you want to get anything done...
You can't...
Twitter...
Changing your Twitter icon to black and using hashtag black out of protest.
Go ahead, search it on Twitter.
It's sad.
It's just...
It's pathetic.
You are sad, sad, sad.
But not quite as sad as the people pushing this legislation through.
Now, if you want to hear something clueless...
Wait, hold on a second.
Stop the presses.
So, let me ask you a question.
Not an Ask Adam, just a question.
Alright, good.
Now, is New Zealand like, they're directly connected to the Hollywood center of things?
It's a hotbed of content.
Is it a place that's so freaked out about content and movies and downloads because they're going to lose their ass if they don't pass this legislation?
Or are they just stooges for Hollywood?
Well, I think it's a combination.
Oh, you think it's the second one?
Yeah.
Do you think?
So not only are they just stooges, it's a beta.
Because it's easy.
Because obviously, you know, Clinton, Lucifer Clinton dropped by.
You know, it was like, hey, we flipped the earthquake machine on.
How'd you like that, bitches?
You didn't like it, did you?
Wait a minute.
PR, I do my hair.
That's better.
And, you know, we really need you to push this legislation through.
You know, it's really important because we need to have a precedent.
Jurisprudence.
And they knew.
They know that the timing was perfect.
Everyone's really shaken up, literally.
And this is the general consensus from...
Actually, yeah, Kiwi Chris sent me this clip that I'm going to play.
Everyone's shaken up from the earthquake.
So, you know, it's like there's all kinds of other stuff going on.
The last thing on anyone's mind is file sharing.
And by the way, this is not about file sharing copyrighted works.
In the clip you're about to hear, expressly, this douchebag woman...
Expressly says, this is not about copyright.
This is about file sharing.
So you can't have file sharing software.
I don't care if you're sharing your thesis.
You cannot have file sharing.
This is the legislation that has been pushed through and passed in Gitmo Nation Kiwi.
So this is very, very different than, you know, well, there's got to be legislation against sharing copyrighted works.
Do you understand the difference, John?
Yeah, they're basically...
Let me explain it better.
They're so stupid...
You're about to hear proof of that, yeah.
They're so stupid that they equate, they don't understand the difference between exchanging copyrighted works and file sharing.
They think it's synonymous.
Synonymous.
Now listen to this clip.
By the way, that's because they're stupid.
No, no, no, no.
You have no idea how stupid they are.
Well, I do have an idea.
When they say there's a lot of sheep in New Zealand, this woman is the ringleader.
She is such an idiot, and she's a techno-expert!
They explain to them what file she...
Just listen to this.
You'll puke.
And that's the way it should be, to ensure that it stays current for a longer period of time in a very fast-changing environment.
She was on the committee.
Do you have her name?
Not offhand.
I think it's...
Someone in the chat room will know.
Here we go.
Now the select committee worked really hard on this bit of legislation, I've got to say.
We had it for a long time in our select committee.
And in fact, I felt very sorry for the officials when they first came in.
Because, you know, I think I'm relatively savvy when it comes to...
Savy?
Are you savvy, John?
John, are you savey?
You've got to be techno-savey.
Ah, apparently.
Yeah, I think I am techno-savey.
She's savey, yeah.
But when it comes to file sharing, which actually is mostly not my generation, I've got to say, because it wasn't around when I first started using computers.
It actually took them a while to explain what file sharing was to a few of us on the committee.
And actually, it came down to...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It took a while to explain?
Well, listen!
She's going to explain how they explained it to her.
how they splained it to her.
Boxes sitting along the front of the select committee and they'd explain how it takes a bit from this box and a bit from that box and a bit from this computer.
It's like the Stevens guy.
I'll see you later.
A bit from this box and a bit from that box and this computer.
But listen, it gets better.
A thousand little bits and it makes up a file, which actually takes a bit to get your mind around.
I told you you were going to be posting this video on your blog.
It does, that's right, Steve.
So it took a little while for the committee to get its mind actually round what this bill was about and came to, at the end of the day, what this committee came to, it came to a compromise because we had a huge debate over how do we discourage file sharing.
A huge debate!
And how do we ensure that We're not over-regulating or that we're not over-penalizing people who file share.
But it's really important to remember that file sharing is actually an illegal activity.
I think she said illegal activity.
That's what she said.
She said file sharing is an illegal activity.
Actually, it's an illegal activity.
How is it illegal?
She's savvy.
She's savvy.
I sent you the clips for the show today, right?
Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait.
Stop.
Just answer.
Yes.
Yes.
Isn't that file sharing?
Yes.
You illegal bastard, you.
Huh?
You outlaw.
You lone wolf.
It continues.
An illegal activity.
And so two things that we talked about.
One was ISP warning notices.
So you've got a provider, you've got Telstra or...
Or Telstra.
Extra.
You know, I get the biggest kick out of people that come in out of the blue like this and they have a couple of briefings and the next thing you know, they're experts.
She's savvy.
She's savvy.
Be quiet.
Do you know what she's savvy?
Gives you your internet connection and they give you a warning if they think you've breached by using file sharing.
You've breached.
Hello, Mr.
Dvorak.
You've breached.
And then you can get a second warning and then a third warning.
Three strikes, you're out, bitches.
And with that also, we talked about, it's not just about breaching it, but knowing that you've breached it.
We've most probably got a whole generation out there and coming through that actually don't understand that file sharing, or don't care, but I don't think that's not necessarily true, that they actually don't realise that what they're doing is illegal.
So, let me understand.
The whole generation out there are very savvy about file sharing, and they're so savvy, they turn their Twitter icon to black, you stupid idiots!
Jeez!
That's not how you protest.
And actually it's not right, because what we've got out there is we've got peer-to-peer file sharing programs.
So you can actually go out there, put a software program on your computer, and file share.
So what's wrong with that?
And I know, you know, I've got three children who are on the internet all the time.
Oh, she's spawning.
This is not good.
She's got three of them.
And I actually don't know if I'd know how to find it, actually, as a parent, about whether they were file sharing or not.
I'd like to think they aren't, and I'd like to think they were educated...
Of course they're file sharing.
...paid our children about it.
But until I had this bit of legislation before me in a select committee, I actually didn't know about it, I've got to say.
And it's quite different to copyright.
Where someone sends you a file, that's different again.
Oh, so she thinks someone sending you a file is copyright?
What is she talking about?
And why is she talking for so long?
Because it's funny.
She's like, I've got to give those no agenda chaps a good little laugh.
Because if someone sends you a file, you may be breaching a copyright.
Ooh, John, you've been breached to copyright by sending me the file.
As opposed to what this legislation is about, which is actually about file-sharing programmes, peer-to-peer file-sharing programmes.
So I think it's important, because I know there are many kids out there, especially, you know, in a hurry, in my lecture, which has got a very high usage of computers, especially in the youth, I think it's really important that we go out and we educate our youth and the parents about what file sharing is and how we shouldn't be doing it.
And it is different to copyright, so bearing all that in mind.
Wait a minute, hold on.
So she says that copyright's bad enough but file sharing's worse?
Oh yeah, it's the evil file sharings.
And all those kids, all the tweets are into it.
But they're too preoccupied with figuring out how to make their Twitter icon black.
It's sad, people.
It's sad.
You need to throw these people out.
You need to throw shoes at them, whatever.
They don't even know what they're talking about.
Here's the thing.
So now they're making up a law that you actually know something about.
And you can see how wrong they are.
Just like journalism.
So when they're making up a law of which you might not be so educated about the topic, you're pretty much guaranteed they don't know anything about that either.
Revolt, I say.
That's pretty disgusting.
Yeah, yeah.
And you have to see her, too.
You know, she's just one of those finger-wagging, elitist...
File-sharing programs.
Look, I wasn't so savvy, but it gets a little bit from here, bit from there, bit from there, and a thousand little bits, and then you've got a program.
So I guess somebody tried to explain BitTorrent to her?
Yeah, bit.
That's why she's saying bit.
Bit from there.
Yeah, so now that is illegal.
Some smart cookie should take that to court.
It's ridiculous.
I mean, 90% of the work you do on a computer is file sharing in some way, shape, or form.
If you think about it.
The whole internet is one big copy machine.
Hello?
But please, when you send a file to someone, that's copyright, according to her.
Yeah.
Oh, it makes me sick in my stomach just to hear it.
I feel bad for our human resources there and get my nation kiwi, but you can't be like protesting with blackout.
They probably think the kids are doing blackout.
Well, they want us to turn off the electricity.
They don't know what you're talking about.
Pretty bad.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
To say the least.
So, I have a Rick Santorum clip.
Who's that again?
He was a New Jersey governor or something.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
He's a total douchebag.
He looks like he's 12 years old.
He wants to run for president.
He couldn't win if he had.
He won't even come close to getting...
If he even got 10% in the primaries from any place, it would be a miracle.
Because he just looks like...
He's got close-set eyes.
He looks dumb.
And...
But it's not about physical appearances.
It is about physical appearance.
When it comes to running for the President of the United States, you can be sure it's about physical appearance.
You look like a big dummy who's 12 years old.
You ain't winning.
Abe Lincoln was a real hottie, though.
Abe Lincoln wasn't important then.
We didn't have the TV media.
If it was the days of TV, Lincoln and all those guys would be out.
Yeah, that's true.
We got some good-looking presidents back then.
That's right.
So anyway, there's a million memes in here, and I want to deconstruct a few of them when we get to the end, but he's on the Greta Van Susteren show trying to defend the idiotic things he said on some radio talk show.
Alright, now you've had some wind behind your back.
You've won a couple of straw posts.
South Carolina, Greenville County, the Homeschoolers Conference in Washington, D.C., Pacific Homeschoolers Super Conference, Presidential Straw Poll in California.
So you've got a little wind behind your back.
Then you've got something that, frankly, I thought was a little weird.
And that's, you said on a radio station in New Hampshire, that the abortion culture is to blame for the Social Security program's financial problems.
Do you want a do-over on that one, or do you stand by it?
Well, first off, what happened was there was a caller that called in to a radio station up in Livonia, New Hampshire.
And they called in and said, and made the point that because of the number of abortions in America, that there are fewer people out there working.
And, of course, Social Security is based on having people working to support those who are in retirement.
And one of the problems with Social Security is a demographic problem, which is, People are living longer and collecting benefits on Social Security, and our birth rate is lower.
We now are not at replacement rate.
And so that combination is causing a problem with Social Security.
I simply made that point.
You know, it's a little weird, because if you think about it, if those people were here, we're going to have that same problem when they become adults, because now we've got all these extra people to pay Social Security to.
The big problem right now is we have a baby boom generation that's retiring.
We have this big bubble.
Right.
Okay, well, there's a bunch of things that came up in this I thought were interesting.
Starting with the fact that I believe that the United States is at replacement level.
I think we've been for some time.
We're one of the few countries that are.
What does that mean, replacement level?
That means we're producing as many people as are dying.
Yeah, and we've got to have more dying, I think, is the general message.
Well, there's that, but according to him.
But this, of course, is all bull crap because the people like myself who will be going into Social Security at some point shortly, we paid into it.
That should be paying where we're getting the money from, not from somebody who was aborted.
But that's beside the point.
This is a crazy idea.
And the other thing is we're at 9% official unemployment, possibly 25% in real unemployment.
So what, when we have all these abortions weren't done, we'd have, what, 30% unemployment?
I mean, that just makes zero sense.
It's like a million abortions a year, I think.
I don't know.
Is it that many?
Yeah, I heard someone talking that Planned Parenthood arranges $300,000 a year, and the total is like 1.1 million abortions a year.
Sounds high.
Whatever the case.
It's a suspicious argument.
The guy's an idiot.
But what I thought was interesting, at the very beginning, some of these straw polls that he won, you know, where he was obviously a candidate in a field of two, him and his wife, so he wins the straw poll.
There was two interesting things mentioned right at the beginning.
There was these homeschooling conferences, including the super conference.
Now, I'm a big homeschooler, not so much anymore, but I keep up with this stuff, and I was unaware of these conferences.
conferences and now I'm suspecting that when I hearing about the super conference for homeschooling in the West Coast I'm suspecting that there's some sort of co-opting going on here with the homeschool movement and I'm going to start looking into it but I would tell people out there to keep an eye out or an ear out for for some for weirdness within the homeschooling situation because it sounds to me like for one thing that this guy would be addressing these conferences home Homeschooling is like something where there is no central organization.
It's just what people can do legally in certain states.
Interesting you bring this up.
Mississippi, and this is from two weeks ago, Judge Joe Dale Walker of the Chancery Court of the 13th District issued an order requiring attendance officers in five counties to provide the court with the names and addresses of homeschoolers in that district.
Ten days to comply.
So there's something.
I mean, it's a huge problem.
Something's up.
Clamp down.
Yeah, it's like you don't want to go.
It's almost like that Citizens Against Vaccine thing that's located in Virginia.
It's like you want to be real careful with people who pop up as like, yeah, well, we're the homeschooling conference.
You got to be careful because you don't know what's going on there.
They may be like just going there to see who was there and track you and do all kinds of weirdness, whether it's organized by the conference or not.
I think that's what you're saying.
Yeah, I would be suspicious.
And the fact that this guy, who seems to be a shill of some sort, I don't...
Obviously, I'm not a big fan of Rick Santorum.
And...
He seems to be a shill of some sort, and now he's been approved as the candidate du jour by the super conference of homeschoolers on some operation I've never heard of out here on the West Coast.
Immediately, red flags are all over this little talk of his.
Just a heads up.
And the guy's a douchebag.
He's a total douchebag.
I think I saw an email thread that you were talking with someone about this.
There was a report that came out.
From this guy, Robert Lustig.
And although a lot of people said, hey, this is really great, you know, people are saying that high fructose corn syrup is now bad, you know, there's this report, I think it's exactly the opposite.
This is the...
Yeah, no, this is what I... I sent back a note.
Did you get my note on that?
I think, yeah, I think that's what...
But I'd already seen this earlier in the week.
So in this report...
He calls sugar a toxin or a poison.
And by sugar, he means not only the white granulated stuff we put in coffee and sprinkle on cereal, technically known as sucrose, but also high fructose corn syrup.
And this is actually very, very bad.
Because what is happening now, and this is, I'm reading from the New York Times, this is now being propagated.
High fructose corn syrup is sugar.
Because of course people are not going to stop using sugar.
Well, they think of sugar.
Right.
Well, this is part of the scheme that we've talked about on this show numerous times, is that since there's a backlash against high fructose corn syrup, which is possibly a problem with both obesity and diabetes, too.
You think?
What seems to be.
Even though they have a great PR machine that keeps cranking out this crazy propaganda and they get subsidies from the government to make this stuff from corn.
It's something that goes through essentially an oil refinery process.
It's not natural in any way.
Anyway, so they've been trying to...
Because of the backlash, they found a way to legislatively call it corn sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
And then we predict, and this will happen any minute, we predict that the next step is that, well, why should we have to call ours corn sugar when they don't call theirs cane sugar?
They just call it sugar.
So why can't we just call ours sugar?
And then the next thing you know, it's going to be called sugar, and it's not going to be sugar.
It's going to be high fructose corn syrup.
And these sorts of articles, which are designed to put you in a mindset.
Of HF.
Of equalizations.
Yeah.
Right.
A mindset of making of equivalencies.
In other words, you lump two things together and then you debate about it as though it was one thing.
And the brain puts them both together.
And then you start beginning to think along the lines that these are the same thing when they're not.
And then when you make the move from corn sugar to sugar, nobody says anything.
And believe me, they won't.
And it's even better because this report comes out, and it's telling you that something's bad for you, and I think we have documented several times that not only do we put big smoking kills on packs of cigarettes, which makes people go and buy more cigarettes, look at the drug ads.
The whole drug ad is how it's going to kill you, you'll have anal leakage, all kinds of stuff like this, and they're like, oh, I think I need some of that.
Something is wrong.
Our brains have been rewired, maybe, because this is not seen as an actual danger.
I mean, if you see a tiger growling at you, I think maybe some DNA kicks in.
But somehow we've been mind-controlled and programmed that when you hear, hey, you know, this stuff can kill you, and you don't want to be taking this while you're smoking, and don't drink fruit juice with this, because you'll die.
This antidepressant may make you think about suicide.
Oh, I think I shall go ask something from my doctor.
So to say sugar is going to kill you, and by the way, high fructose corn syrup is sugar, people think, oh, I need some sugar.
Right?
Well, that's definitely one of the elements.
But I think the real goal here is to change the moniker.
And it's going to, you know, the organic people, you know, who are suckered into all this crap anyway.
So they're just, I mean, the whole thing is pathetic.
It's just going to be harder to find stuff.
The cane sugar, beet sugar people are going to have to put cane sugar and beet sugar on their products to make sure that people know that there's not high fructose corn syrup.
Right.
Well, I'm okay with cane sugar.
It's kind of groovy.
Yeah, I think it's fine.
Anyway.
I think we've lost France.
To our show?
Well, we already...
I mean, we have like...
We only have two listeners in France.
We have Tristan and someone else.
Who else do we have in Gitmo Nation's Stinky Cheese?
There's one more, I think.
Two more, maybe.
Well, so there's no more reason to visit.
I'll tell you why.
So first of all, they've now officially banned full-face veils.
Which I think is a shame because I think it's very hot and sexy.
I'm always like, you know, I have fantasies about what's going on under there.
There's some guy underneath.
Some dude.
Like, hey baby.
Oh, sorry.
So yeah, so this is no more veils.
You can get a fine of 150 euros.
But there's now an official, official, official, official.
So that kind of...
He's like, alright.
But now...
Now Gitmo Nation's stinky cheese is considering outlawing prostitution!
Now you've got my attention.
Wow.
Yeah.
If the laws passed, France would join only a handful of European countries where clients of sex workers face prison.
Clients of sex workers.
Notice that.
Sweden became the first in 1999.
You don't need prostitution in Sweden.
Everyone's hot.
Followed by Norway and Iceland.
Really?
Iceland?
Iceland should not do that.
They should, like, crank up the hose.
Iceland's population is too small.
Oh, that's true.
It's only 250,000, 350,000 people.
You can't really...
You have to...
It would be...
No.
It's no good.
You have to have a big population for prostitution to do well.
You know, the whole...
I mean, lots of people go to the Gitmo Nation Stinky Cheese because you've got the hot trannies on the Champs-Élysées.
I mean, that's where...
It's tranny central.
You can't, like, get rid of that.
That's wrong.
Where else are we going to get our trannies?
I don't know.
You can get them in...
Why don't you go to West Hollywood?
You live right next door to the place.
Sometimes there's a guy.
All right.
I don't deserve a little...
Hot pockets!
You deserve more than that.
You deserve a slap.
Yeah.
So, well, I wonder what the deal is there.
That has to be probably the quid pro quo for the veil thing.
Maybe.
The Muslim community said, look, we don't like prostitutes.
We'd rather have multiple wives.
Of course, Carla Bruni's fair game is okay.
You can be a prostitute and sleep with that midget.
You know who she is?
Yeah, she's the wife of Sarkozy.
Yeah, right.
Wife?
Mm-hmm.
Alright, now you're taking the thing off the track here with a French dude.
News from France.
It's exciting.
Alright, so as we were talking in the pre-show, it's sometimes so hard to do this program because we talk about things.
Oh, actually, I got a whole setup for this.
Let me take you back.
Remember the Washington Post interviewed me about Andy Carvin?
No.
Do you ever show up for the program?
Are you ever here, actually?
I'm here at the moment.
Right now.
You kind of live in the moment.
So Andy Carvin works for NPR. Andy Carvin is their social strategist.
Senior social...
VP of Senior Social Strategy Limited Inc.
for NPR. And what he does is he aggregates tweets...
And then that's passed on as news into the NPR organization.
Right.
And we know this is all bull crap.
Well, yes.
Now, by the way, do you know that he is rumored to be the frontrunner for a Pulitzer Prize for this?
For what?
Yeah, I'm telling you.
For a Pulitzer Prize.
He's not a front-runner.
If he gets a Pulitzer Prize in the things, it's a complete farce.
Yeah, unlike the Peace Prize, we went to Obama.
Obama bomber!
Yeah, like that was real.
So...
That was a good one.
Yeah, well, it's true.
So I'm...
Hold on a second.
Where's this?
Oh, I thought I had this link all set up.
Oh, well, that kind of bites.
Anyway, so the Washington Post interviews me.
For some reason, my link isn't working.
So what were they interviewing you for?
Because I'm...
Because they were doing this puff piece on how awesome he is, right?
Oh, and you were supposed to, because you're the pod father, you were supposed to go, oh, this is great?
No, no.
And what happened was, is the interviewer said, well, does anyone not agree with what you're doing?
And Andy Carvin, apparently, because our show does have some reach, said, well, yeah, Adam Curry is kind of critical of what I do.
So I do this whole long interview and I say, well, you know, dude, this is like, you can't, this is like wrong.
You can't vet this stuff.
The State Department, Hillary Clinton herself, says that they have techno-experts who are...
We're making stuff up.
Shills.
Yeah, shills.
So I do this like half hour interview and you and I discussed it on the show.
You said, yeah, well, let's see what shows up.
So NPR's Andy Carvin tweeting the Middle East and like literally it's such a puff piece by your friend Paul Fari.
Hold on a second, says Andy Carvin, mid-conversation, swiveling to his laptop.
He taps away for a few seconds, as quiet as a squirrel.
Squirrel!
And then he's back.
Andy Carvin does this 20, 25, 30 times.
It's easy to lose count.
An hour.
It's practically second nature now.
Often, he doesn't even interrupt what he's saying.
The typing and talking happens simultaneously.
He should get a Pulitzer Prize!
So then it goes on about how awesome...
I like that voice.
Yeah.
That would be your pitchman voice.
Right.
So then he keeps on going.
Now, you've got to go to page two.
Goes on?
How long is this article?
No, it's like two pages.
You can't be critical of Andy Carvin on page one.
And then, here it comes.
All this makes some observers raise an eyebrow about Carvin's work.
Wait a minute, John.
I'm raising my eyebrow.
No, I think we said douchebag.
But okay, I'm raising an eyebrow.
Quote, To have NPR appoint a senior strategist with full knowledge that they are publishing news or information based on tweets of unknown or unvetted sources is troubling, says Adam Curry, a media critic and veteran technology blogger and, long ago, MTV VJ. It's like, discredit me, will ya?
Just discredit me right there by calling me a blogger, which I expressly said I'm a media assassin.
You're not a technology blogger.
Yes, I'm not a technology blogger, so that's factually incorrect.
And then put in, and long ago, MTVVJ. Who knows where this is coming from?
I'm not saying Andy's a bad guy or has an agenda, which of course I'm happy to put that in because that makes people think he has an agenda.
But I do think it's worth asking what NPR thinks it's doing.
And that's the entire criticism in...
That's out of a half an hour of chatting?
Yes.
That's about right.
That's about right.
Now...
Russia Today, who of course listened to our program, because...
Why did they listen to our program, John?
Why would Russia Today listen to us?
Because they're always complaining about Russia Today.
Well, no, we give them advice.
But, you know, they've got to hotten their chicks up.
Oh, yeah, no, we have given good advice.
I think in the last show, people should go back and reference that.
Because we...
Once in a while, on this show, we do some free consulting.
And we told them what they should do.
Free consulting.
They told him what they should do.
By the way, how come you couldn't get a plug for the No Agenda show in on that article?
I did!
Why?
Because all he heard was agenda.
Because I said no agenda, no agenda, no agenda, no agenda, no agenda.
And he put, I don't think Andy Carvin has an agenda.
That's what he meant by no agenda.
Are you kidding me?
I talked about you.
He knew who you were.
No, I'm a technology blogger.
No mention about the show.
I said, do you know what we do?
The whole thing was about the show.
He doesn't put it in.
Wait a second.
Hey, hey, I don't care.
Play the douchebag.
Douchebag.
Exactly.
Now you're talking.
Exactly.
All right, so what is Russia Today up to now?
So they have, they still don't call her Natasha.
They got a new chicky on.
And, you know, they're hot, but you gotta get blonde Russians.
They don't understand.
I mean, I've been to Russia.
There's plenty of blondes in Russia.
Oh, yeah.
Tons.
But they get the brunettes.
It's like, it's wrong.
She's hot.
And she has kind of a hot voice, but she's not called Natasha.
I have yet to see one journalist on Russia Today whose name is Natasha, which is what you need.
She'd be the star.
But this one is hot.
Anyway, they did take her advice on the techno experts, and they're literally just explaining how the State Department pays people to tweet bullcrap.
It's pretty funny.
The U.S. is providing high-tech help with innovations for anti-government activists in a number of countries throughout the world.
One of the latest developments is the panic button.
According to the State Department, the application can be uploaded on activists' cell phones.
Should they be detained, the software instantly erases the contact book in their phones.
Yeah, by the way, we all know what this is for.
This is so that if they get a hold of one of these shills over there in North Africa or the Middle East or wherever, you don't want any traces back to the State Department.
That's what it's for.
It's to blow up your phone so that they can't trace it back to Lucifer Clinton.
And sends a warning alert signal to other activists.
Sounds great.
One push of a button and it's all gone.
This is her.
She's very hot.
Probably among those thanking the US government for the technology are going to be drug dealers and terrorists.
Terrors!
But American officials, of course, claim the best of intentions, saying the innovation is to protect pro-democracy forces in other countries.
To help use the technologies more effectively, the US has organized training sessions for thousands of activists.
The one held just weeks ago in the Middle East included anti-government campaigners from Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, And Lebanon.
So this is kind of new.
I didn't know this, but apparently they have training camps in the Middle East that Lucifer Clinton sets up.
And all the techno-bloggers and techno-experts come aboard and they teach them how to use propaganda on the Twitters.
And as the newly trained and equipped activists return home, the U.S., as one State Department official put it, counts on the ripple effect.
Foreign interference doesn't have to be a military invasion, a bombing.
And this is some ugly American chick, stupid.
...campaign or, you know, some kind of special operation on the ground in that country.
It can also be the training and funding and this political support given to individuals who then promote those foreign interests.
And that's one of the newer strategies that the U.S. government has successfully been executing in different countries around the world that it doesn't consider subordinate to their agenda.
And it's a way to do it subtly.
It's harder to detect it.
It's harder to denounce it.
and it can often be more effective.
The U.S. perceives the internet and social networking platforms as major tools for spreading democracy and pumps millions of dollars into developing systems to help people in the Middle East and China get around internet-blocking firewalls.
So the State Department is selling technology Yeah, they're selling at all ends.
It's mind-boggling what is going on.
Where is our national treasure, NPR, on this story?
Where is the Washington Post on this story?
Hello?
They're literally equipping, they're doing training camps, they're equipping them.
Well, we've been talking about this process for a while.
We didn't know about the training camps, obviously.
But it just confirms everything we've been saying for, I don't know, six months?
Yeah, exactly.
This whole system.
This has been going on with the social networking thing.
I mean, I think its impact is exaggerated.
I want you to listen to this.
She actually goes into the exaggeration of...
I mean, it's Russia today, so it's their own propaganda.
Take it with what you want.
But I want you to accentuate your point there, John.
But at the same time, American companies provide Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites.
When the U.S. government purports to be spreading democracy, it's simply a sham, it's a pretense, it's a lie.
The goal of U.S. foreign policy is to put its people in public office in foreign countries.
The US military has recently launched an online management program which enables it to generate multiple fake identities on social networks.
The false personas are designed to contribute to the flow of conversations on Facebook, Twitter and other websites.
People are using social media for cyber warfare.
I mean, that's what we're going to see more and more of, I think, from whether it's governments or non-state actors.
They're going to try to find ways to use the Internet and social media to gain an advantage in their own battle.
The recent turmoil in Libya suggests orchestration of Twitter with fake users.
Here we go.
Now listen to this.
Only around 5% of Libyans have access to the internet.
5% of Libyans have actual access to the internet, and 4% of that is in the government.
The number of Twitter users there is so small that analysts couldn't even calculate it.
Yet, in February this year, a surge of Libyan Twitter accounts appeared, reporting in English, and virtually all begging for intervention.
There you go.
Gee, how could that be?
Andy, make sure you retweet it!
It's unbelievable.
And the guy will win a Pulitzer Prize.
And by the way, it's like the whole idea of Twitter is...
I mean, if you remember when it first started up in the United States, it took forever for anyone to figure out what the heck it was good for.
It was stupid.
And largely still is in many ways.
Well, it helps because when we make our Twitter icon black, it stops governments dead in their tracks.
So with a culture that is internet-centric, like the United States, especially the youth culture here, it took forever for the thing to catch on.
So how does it magically catch on in some third-world Libya where people would give a crap about tweeting?
I mean, it doesn't make any sense at all.
And then all of a sudden you have this huge surge of interest.
It's obviously fake.
And all the tweets coming from Libya are bullcrap.
And the fact that it's being reported as news when it's just obviously you're right.
Well, we're right.
We've talked about this for the last six months.
It's coming straight from the State Department.
And Hillary more or less said so herself in that show that we did with...
More or less, she said techno experts.
Yeah, she said it herself.
The techno expert episode, we talked about it in detail.
And, you know, and the fact that the Pulitzer thing comes up with this...
I mean, if the guy, you know, the reporter at the Washington Post should have been looking at this from that perspective, that this is bullcrap.
Yeah, but instead he, like, does a whole puff piece about how awesome Andy is and calls me a technology blogger, factually incorrect.
Media critic.
I'm not a media critic.
I'm a lone wolf.
Eh.
It's just, you know, it's sad.
It is just sad.
But, luckily, we've got several hundred thousand people who are listening to this show.
And I want to say a big in the morning to Sammy.
Sammy just popped into the chat room as a first-time listener.
And he was a little confused.
I bet he was.
The way we started off this show, it's impossible to follow us.
He's like, what is going on here?
What is happening here?
I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
We're on no agenda in the morning.
Now before we get started on our donations to the show, John, I want to mention a little article that came out yesterday, or the day before yesterday, about our national treasure, NPR.
So for those of you who think that NPR is non-commercial, You are incorrect.
And the way we define non-commercial is...
Or commercial, let's put it that way.
If the audience is the product, if the audience is being sold to anyone, be it an underwriter, advertiser, whatever you want to call it, to use Vivian's own words, then it is commercial.
I don't care how you look at it.
If the actual show, the information is the product, and you're not taking any advertising...
Then you're non-commercial.
So NPR has done something.
This will get legs.
I think it'll get legs.
John, we've been on radio, you and I, for a long time.
And for those of you who consider donating to NPR, give the money to the No Agenda show.
We know how it works.
We understand.
You can call it underwriting, but if you're handing out GoDaddy codes or Carbonite or whatever, it's advertising.
And now NPR is starting a geo-targeting ad network.
I kid you not.
The ad network would make it possible for sponsors to make underwriting buys that could reach state, regional, or national levels, says Keith Hopper, Digital Services Director of Product Development.
Though all stations have sales operations for dealing with sponsorships, this network would provide underwriting from larger or national companies that don't necessarily reach out to smaller stations, Hopper said.
The sponsors would go through national public media, that's the sales arm of NPR, and stations would likely have the choice to opt in to buys from national underwriters.
So again, how it works, it's a very smart thing, they have national public media which does all the selling, and national public media donates, not all, but donates money to NPR. So it's like a Chinese wall is what we call that.
And you know what it is?
It's a rip-off.
It's a rip-off, and they are influenceable through this system.
And we don't like it.
And we have taken a vow of poverty to not do it that way.
I forgot about our vow of poverty.
I was wondering where the money was.
I forgot that I've taken a vow of poverty.
Yeah, what's your problem, boy?
It's your vow of poverty.
Yes, I think that's a good point.
Well, let's thank a few people.
First, I want to get to a couple people who send checks in, because I've been putting that off for a while.
Yes.
I want to start with the...
All I can say, there's nothing here.
I'm just going to read this.
It says, International Human Resources Karma Request, $111.11.
And I guess...
I read these numbers and I want somebody to take these down and tell me what this means because I have no idea unless it's not binary because there would be some letter in there eventually.
Maybe it's for that.
You know what's that thing you keep hearing on the shortwave, these numbers?
Oh.
Squirrel!
162-259.
That's the embassies and stuff transmitting secret encoded messages.
There's an encoded message maybe.
I want somebody to tell me what it is.
162-259-276-829-213-363-391-578-010-288-127.
Bingo!
Bingo.
Also out of Kansas City, we got $133.33, a magic number.
We stopped tuning in, just started listening to you and Adam on No Agenda.
It's amazing!
Best source of news since we've stopped turning to MSM since 2008, donating $11.11 a month for the whole year.
Just adding the penny to make it a magical $133.33.
Keep up the good work.
Also, I want to thank Alan Bean for his $50.
He seems to send it in every month.
He's from Oakland, California.
And these are checks again.
And Charles Rasnan III, 5333.
And that's it for our...
Checks.
Or checks in the mail.
We've got Chris Engler, who we talk about, you will discuss in a second, who's selling the No Agenda Dice, $111.11.
Sir Thomas, I'm sorry, Nussbaum in Virginia Beach, $111.11.
Number four for Nichols Damehood and a direct challenge.
Nicole.
Nichols.
It's a...
What did I say?
Nichols?
Nichols.
Hey, honey.
Here's a Nichol.
Come over here.
And direct challenge to my friends Amy, Fran, Mary, and Dave.
And he needs a dedouching for some reason.
You've been dedouched.
Maybe he's dirty.
I don't think so.
Frank Davis, Florence, South Carolina.
John, I've emailed you regarding much-needed karma.
Please check your email from Frank Davis with the subject John and Adam need karma to overcome nepotism in some job he's got, $99.99.
And, you know, so as I'm sitting down to do the show and this happens every single week...
And now it's actually, it's like a running joke.
Eric, the shill says, there's a category, annoy Adam emails to find.
I need that like at least an hour before.
I can't do that right before the show.
Fine, but do you have the email?
This note will suffice.
Just dedouche the guy.
Yeah, but maybe it's a good email.
He needs the karma.
Oh, okay, but maybe it was a good email.
It might be.
It's okay.
Read it later.
By the way, Eric, can I do a message to Eric?
Thank you, Eric.
I received the gift.
I really love it.
It's awesome.
What gift?
He gave me a gift.
Well, how come everybody's getting gifts?
This is the second one on this show about me.
Well, maybe if you change your attitude, mister.
Bill Gress, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
As a proud one-percenter, please accept my donation.
I'm also forwarding Barry Sotero.
Sotero.
2012.
To know it, Jen.
That's a good one.
I hadn't heard about that one.
Barry Sotero 2012.
That's good.
I like it.
Did you see his sister?
On Pierce?
Whose sister?
Barry Sotero's sister.
No, I didn't know he had a sister.
Yeah, Barack Obama has a sister, yeah.
Well, how come she's...
Yeah, well, of course she has to pop up because of the birth certificate thing.
That's why it's like, here's proof, he has a sister.
That's proof of nothing.
Yeah, and she talks like this, like a robot, like everything is calculated.
Even my daughter was saying, and we were watching this, and my daughter was over, and we cooked together, and I said, oh, I've got to turn this on.
This is proof that Obama is real, that he exists.
And she's listening to it, and Pierce Morgan asks a question about their parents or whatever.
And Christina says...
But she's got to be full of crap because if anyone, and she's been interviewed lots of times, if anyone asks about my parents, I immediately say, oh, you know, this and that.
And she has to, like, think about every word she's saying.
I'm like, I'm so proud of you, girl.
She's got, I mean, total mind-controlled MKUltraSlave.
Anyway, I digress.
That's good.
That's a good digression.
Bjorn Pennenberg, 5555, and he wants me to say in Dutch, no agenda, hoer, je echt, neers, neers.
Try that one again.
That was pretty funny.
That's good enough.
No agenda.
Whore ya.
Whore ya.
Echt news.
Okay.
What does that mean?
You hear real news on no agenda.
Cool.
Arnold Reistad in Caldwell, Idaho.
Double nickels on the dime in the morning.
John and Adam here's a double nickels on the dime.
For a birthday shout out for my son Nate.
We got that listed.
Keep up the good work.
And a karma hit for the family would be appreciated.
You've got karma.
Feels good when the whole family gets it.
Double nickels on the dime from Troy Rudder.
Yeah, he's a long time ago.
In Ames, Iowa.
In the morning, guys, might be the last one.
Nighthood, I've lost track.
Somebody's going to do the math for you.
Either way, it's not the last as long as they keep producing the great shows you do from the Eagle Web Cam State, Iowa.
John Boland, Byron, New York.
It's my third donation now, 15% of the way to Nighthood.
I had a job interview Tuesday, and it went well.
Use some karma to get the job.
All right.
Got that for you.
You've got karma.
And he said with the increase in pay, he'll actually be able to afford to pay off his student loan, which, by the way, is a plague on this country.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but I was reading, I think it was even TechCrunch, I have to say.
It was a good interview with the guy who started PayPal.
No, Teal.
What's his name?
Teal.
The elitist Teal.
You know Peter Teal?
Yeah, what about him?
He was saying, we are in a bubble, and the bubble is education, and that's going to pop, and that is what's going to kill us.
The education bubble.
And I thought, wow.
What does that mean?
How does an education bubble pop?
Okay, so the cost of college, which of course...
Oh, it's ridiculous.
In fact, I believe in...
Did you read that Matt Taabi article?
Yes.
Well, did you notice one of the things these two, by the way, there's an article in Rolling Stone for everybody listening to the show, another one by Matt Taibbi.
Linked in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
The guy is amazing.
There's the guy that should be winning a Pulitzer.
Well, hold on a second, because I do want to point out that I mentioned that all of these loans had been made to employee funds through the TALF program, but he connected some names, and that's what was really genius.
Yeah.
And the fact of the matter is the education system has become a huge scam to promote student loans.
That's why when I went to the University of California at Berkeley, I essentially went there for free.
And now it costs $30,000 a year to go there.
It costs as much to go to most public schools nowadays as it costs to go to Harvard.
I mean, if you look at the cost, the difference is minor.
And so it's like the whole thing has been a scam to set up these...
Ever since they privatized the college loan system, which used to be run by the government and used to be actually fair, they privatized it.
Now all these students come walking out of college...
And this is the only loan that does not go away if you file for bankruptcy.
Did you know that?
Yep, I did know that.
The whole thing is a complete scam.
Nobody's done anything about it except a few protesters in England who are complaining about their tuition going up.
And the fact of the matter is this has been creeping up, creeping up, creeping up.
It's ludicrous.
When I was a kid, you could actually work part-time and you could pay your way through school.
What happened?
He worked his way through college.
Remember that?
That used to be part of the American group.
Have you ever heard that even said anymore?
No.
Is that a meme out there?
I've never heard the meme anymore.
The meme is gone.
Work my way through college.
No, of course it's the meme.
My grandfather taught at Harvard while putting himself through Harvard.
That's how he paid for it.
Can't do that anymore either.
No, the whole thing is to become this huge scam to enslave these poor students into these ridiculous loans.
And if they miss a payment, there's all these, it's almost like a payday loan where you miss one payment, all of a sudden your interest rate goes up to 30%.
And now you owe half a million dollars.
And the whole thing is an outrageous scam.
And it's all, and the schools are in collusion.
Hmm.
With the loan companies, public institutions wouldn't have jacked up their rates, and knowing that you take it or leave it, because it's almost like price fixing, because every school now has these outrageous tuitions, whether they're public or private.
It's unbelievable.
And this is why you have so many hot co-ed strippers.
They're working their way through college in Los Angeles.
Actually, you know, you say that is kind of a funny gag, but I think you're right.
No, I know I'm right.
My daughter again, who says, Dad, I went to two strip bars, and this is what every father wants to hear, of course.
Because, you know, you have to be 18 if they don't serve alcohol.
Then they have strip bars for 18 and over.
And they're all really hot and they all go to college and they're all paying for school by stripping.
We've got a couple of schools around here.
That's probably the good news.
Yeah.
So what are we complaining about?
Shut up.
All right.
Ixnay on the oolskate.
This is good for us, John.
This is really good.
But the point is, I think it's valid, and I think strippers prove it, that it's a huge scam that's been set up right underneath everybody's noses, and nobody cares.
Wasn't the Obama administration partially responsible for the change in student loans?
Wasn't that one of his big things?
We did something about student loans.
He didn't do crap is what he did.
When did it change to...
Maybe someone in the chat room can help me out.
When did it change to...
Why don't you figure out which president would like to see a lot of hot strippers?
Let me think.
Clinton.
Clinton.
Really?
But somewhere along the lines, it changed.
I can't remember.
We'll get to the bottom.
John, I think it was under Bush, and I remember us talking about it on this show.
This started before Bush.
No, I think that you cannot get rid of your student loan even if you file for bankruptcy.
Oh, no, that part may have been under Bush.
They did a bunch of that crap.
They did a bunch of credit cards, you know, are now exempt from bankruptcy.
I mean, where else are you going to borrow money?
The system is corrupt.
It's corrupt.
The politicians are corrupt.
The schools are corrupt.
It's amazing how corrupt everything has become.
And I'm surprised that the public is not up in arms, but they're not because they're watching, you know, Dancing with the Stars.
Let's thank...
I want to finish off here.
Chris Slowinski in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, $50.
George Scanlon in Carpentersville, Illinois, $50.
Jason Burke, Richmond, Texas, $50.
And finally, Jason Saul...
Bento in Toronto, Canada.
Hey, John and Adam, long-time listener, first-time donor.
Recently got a promotion.
Figured now I'm making a little extra cash.
I could be helping out with the best show on the interwebs.
If I could get a dedouching and a shot of karma, give him a combination for the new job position.
I'd also like to have a birthday call-out.
You've got karma.
Yeah, we got the birthday call-out set.
And that'll be it for this show.
I want to thank everybody who helped us do it.
And also the people that gave less than the $50, which we list your name.
And everyone that subscribes, please check your subscriptions to see if they're still valid because PayPal pulls them left and right.
I saw that it looked like the $5 monthlies went down a bit.
So we may have gone through another round of PayPal screwing us.
Wait, it's probably Peter Thiel.
He's probably making that happen.
He's probably, I mean, you know, I hear more and more.
There's those guys, just screw them.
I get a couple weird things that happen on PayPal every once in a while.
Like they kick back somebody's donation saying you didn't ship the product.
They literally take it back.
They take the money away from you.
It's weird.
So yes, we highly appreciate the support of the show.
It's what keeps us running.
You don't see us with no geo-targeted ad network with some foundation bull crap selling ads where you're the product.
The show is the product.
The show notes are the product.
The noagendanewsnetwork.com is the product.
There's a lot of stuff.
There's a lot of product.
John, we do some product here.
We do some product, my friend.
We're product meisters.
Dvorak.org slash N-A Apparently kids everywhere love that jingle.
And they have a hard time pronouncing your name, like the toddlers.
That's the way my wife pronounces it.
So that is the only thing you need to remember.
Dvorak.org slash N-A Shortlist today, but we are very happy to congratulate Arnold Reistat's son, Nate, who turns two today, so he'll be singing that jingle pretty soon.
Also, Jason Soa Bento says happy birthday to his lovely girlfriend, Lisa Kim, and we could not agree more.
Happy birthday from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
And we've got...
Now, did Mark True come in with like $1,000 all in one go, right?
Yeah.
He's not messing around.
No, and he says his ring size is 13.5.
Note to Eric.
Okay, good.
So he'll be receiving a ring.
And I think Eric told me two more weeks or something like that.
He's got an update coming.
Yeah, they're in process of being manufactured as we speak.
Okay.
Now that I know it's in the shills' hands, now I know that it's good and that it's going to get done.
Man, for as much crap as I give Eric sometimes, he does a great job.
He really does.
Alright, Eric?
Feeling better now?
He's probably not listening.
He's not even listening.
I'm Mark True.
Please step forward, sir!
Because of your giving level up to the required status of $1,000, which you've done in one go, and you didn't even make us kick in the extra penny...
We are very proud, sir, as you kneel before us to pronounce you and knight thee, Sir Mark True, knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
For you, sir, an entire table full of co-eds who are stripping to work their way through school.
Sir Mark, welcome!
I've changed it.
Now we have co-eds stripping through school.
Yeah, well, that's a new American phenomenon.
Yeah, and they are entertaining our nights, which is pretty awesome, I'd say.
Okay, second half of the show.
This is where we usually have some fun.
Oh, you got something crazy to go with.
Can I do one thing first?
Yeah, of course.
I don't know if anybody watches CNN, but over the years...
Wait a minute.
I just raised my hand without talking.
Does that count?
Yeah, I watch that.
I watch C-SPAN. I watch all the douchebag channels.
So, I don't know about you, but it seems to me that John King is on something.
He's got this show and it's John King's world or something.
He has like the walk, don't walk sign behind him all the time.
And he yaks away at high speed saying most of the time not making any sense whatsoever and he talks so fast it's pretty hard to beat.
But I've got this one clip here called John King is High.
I want you to listen to it and tell me if you can understand what the heck he's talking about.
And Fran, it's part of the bad news also that it is somewhat obvious proof that as the United States pulls back and asks the Karzai government to do more to prevent them from coming back and maybe to cut a deal with the Taliban of some sort so the Taliban is not friendly to al-Qaeda, that those pieces, critical pieces of the equation, are failing.
What?
What?
I don't know if he's high.
I think he's just an idiot.
He's not talking fast enough for it to be coke.
Well, sometimes it's pretty fast.
It may be like something over the counter that he's on.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe it's coffee.
I mean, some people get that way with coffee.
That's possible.
I don't know.
They get all wired up with coffee, and the next thing you know, they're talking like...
He strings words together, starts to make sense, just as it's about to make sense, and then he says something weird.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You think it's the magnetic thing?
Yes, I do.
Let's listen to it again.
And, Fran, it's part of the bad news also that it is...
Somewhat obvious proof that as the United States pulls back and asks the Karzai government to do more to prevent them from coming back and maybe to cut a deal with the Taliban of some sort so the Taliban is not friendly to Al-Qaeda, that those critical pieces of the equation are failing.
Yeah, I think it's a magnetized brain influence.
But the magnet isn't cranked up to full speed like it did on those other ones, so he's not completely whacking out.
So did you see the thing on the internet, the movie of the guy with the magnet?
Yeah, I told you about that.
And he starts talking like those news anchors.
Yeah.
Totally.
But he also twitches.
Uh-oh.
What are you saying?
Well, I know he twitches.
I was saying I don't have Tourette's, but there's actually magnet work going on.
I wasn't making that accusation.
No, I thought it was an accusation.
It's a possibility.
Association is what I thought it was.
Maybe some people are more sensitive to the magnetic fields and they just zap out like, you know, no apparent reason.
Well, let's find out.
What is this that you want to talk about, which sounds like it's already nutty?
Well, first of all, I wanted to correct myself and say that Sammy is a female listener who joined the chatroom.
That's why everyone's like, hey, Sammy, in the morning.
You guys are so transparent.
We got like two women in the chatroom.
Anyway, in the morning.
Yeah, two things.
You can call me wacky if you must, but from time to time I like to remind people that the wacky theories when I say HARP Which, of course, is the earthquake, a part of the earthquake machinery that is being run.
I'd like to pull out official documents, and I've pulled out many different documents in the past.
Here's a new one.
This is from the EU documentation from the European Parliament.
Now, this is an older document from 1999, and they're talking about weaponry.
And agreements to not use certain types of weapons.
Whereas, despite the existing conventions, military research is ongoing on environmental manipulation as a weapon as demonstrated, for example, by the Alaska-based HAARP system.
Now, when you hear that sentence, John, don't you think it means that they know that HAARP is being used as a weapon?
Can I not read properly?
No.
Hello?
You know, just listening to that, I don't have a copy of it.
I don't know where you got it.
Off their website, europarl.europa.eu.
From the EU's parliament?
Yes.
Yeah, it's online.
All right.
Well, it sounds like they're suspicious.
Maybe they don't know what they're talking about.
Well, so on Coast to Coast AM, this guy showed up.
I have no idea who he is.
It doesn't matter.
Whenever someone agrees with my conspiracy theories, they're great.
Brooks, during the Japanese earthquake several weeks ago, do you know if there was any kind of a spike from HARP? Some people have told me there was.
Well, the spike that people talk about, there are actually two of them.
One is a...
Changing of the sky into kind of a lavender hue, the auroral effect of the high frequency affecting the sky above where this earthquake is going to happen.
And the other is a ham radio being able to pick up that two-meter phased array carrier frequency from HAARP. I'm not Familiar with any data that shows the latter was there.
And this earthquake did happen during the daytime, so it's difficult to tell whether there was the auroral signature.
But Japan also sits in between the Chinese harp, the Russian harp, and the U.S. harp up in Alaska.
So it's difficult to tell which one might have been used.
And in cases like this, where you're looking at a target of multiple weapon systems, It might be smart to just follow the money.
See who had the most to gain from an earthquake like this happening in Japan.
Well, it's not the U.S. Japan was the number two buyer of U.S. debt and we're, of course, wonderful trading partners with Japan.
It would have been advantageous to the Chinese because they're the number one buyers of U.S. debt And they're up and coming strong, and they want to compete in several markets, not the least of which is electronics and manufactured goods and pre-manufactured goods.
And their HAARP is located not very far away, and they are already suspected of targeting Japan, not actually firing them, but targeting them with missiles.
So there is intent, there is opportunity, and there is capability.
Those are three good earmarks for any investigator.
Russia, on the other hand, also has some motivation to do it because they are not really the friends that the Clintons would have us believe they are with the West.
The West, however, probably was not involved in it.
Now, the other harps do have signatures as well.
The one in Russia is nicknamed the Woodpecker because its ELF is so high amplitude that it makes a very loud ticking sound on the ham radio when it's picked up.
No evidence that that one was picked up.
So that only leaves the Chinese one left.
No.
Okay.
Now, let me say what I think.
Okay.
I like the theory.
And the Chinese, of course, have been asking Japan to give him an apology for Nanking for God knows how long.
The Japanese keep telling him to shove it.
Is that Larry King's brother?
And, yes, no, his sister, Nan.
Oh, Nan.
Sorry.
Sorry.
So, the Chinese have a grudge with the Japanese, and of course it would be nice if they could start selling us cars.
I mean, I'm not a big believer in this basic theory, but I'm more inclined to believe, if anything was going on, that it would be the Chinese.
And there was one other thing in there that...
I think I have you stumped there, John.
I think I have you in a place where, like, you...
Okay, I mean, first, I read you the European document where they talk about harp as a weapon.
And we have a harp weapon, too, by the way.
Here it is.
Here comes the harp.
You've got...
Play it, bitch!
It's our harp.
Our harp.
So, uh...
Anyway, this brings to mind something interesting, just because of the ham connection.
I knew you'd like that.
And it's that Peter King of the U.S. Congress is trying to ban, trying to steal the ham bands from the hams and kill the entire ham, so get all the hams off the air.
Because they can hear the harp array.
Well...
Based on the way that this is sounding, I would say that maybe.
What other reason does he have?
We've got plenty of bandwidth for all these services.
They can't even sell some of it.
They've tried to.
They've stolen all this TV bandwidth and they can't put it on the market.
So why would you want to take the few ham bands away out of the blue?
Because it's annoying when you can hear it.
Well, let's see if you can tell which one it is.
Well, it's the woodpecker.
The woodpecker.
The woodpecker!
Do you have a woodpecker call there?
Oh, that's pretty good.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I like it.
Very good.
Alright, so that's your crackpot thing?
Well, I was going to say...
By the way, that guy can take my place.
Yeah, when you die.
So, um...
Well, there's also another theory which I'm looking into of the heave weapon.
And the heave weapon...
I need to balance you out, John.
The heave weapon actually influences gravity.
So the concept is that they initiated the heave weapon and the ocean bed, the floor bed, actually rises up and then they turn it off and boom!
That thing slams back down and that creates the earthquake.
I'm looking into this technology.
The heave weapon.
Hey, and tonight, John, we got a date, you and me.
You's and me's baby.
We got a date tonight.
Obama speech?
No, we have a date at 9.24 p.m.
Gitmo Nation West time.
They're shooting off another one of those Atlas V rockets, man.
Ooh, from Vandenberg?
Yep, from Vandenberg.
By the way, we don't have any money, but we're shooting...
Atlas V, this thing is huge!
Yeah, that's the one you want to go watch.
And this is the second one for the National Reconnaissance Office.
I think you should get in your car and go down there and watch it.
Or up there.
No, I can see it from the hilltop.
Well, it depends on which way they target it.
It may shoot my way or it could shoot your way.
Dude, it goes up into space.
It'll be nighttime.
This thing will be burning.
We'll see it for sure.
At 924.
I know exactly where to look, too, because I saw the last one.
An Atlas V rocket.
This has got to be hundreds of millions of dollars.
And we don't even know what it's for.
It's a secret classified thing that the National Reconnaissance Office is sending into space to spy on us.
You're paying for the privilege of them looking at you.
I hate you, people.
They're probably spying on someone else.
Yeah, it's classified.
Yeah, so now there is a chance that they'll have to delay it because visibility may not be great tonight.
But they expect it to...
What's visibility got to do with the launch?
Does it have to see where it's going?
I'm just reading off the news, man.
I'm a technology blogger, not a journalist, damn it.
Technology blogger.
Let me just douchebag that guy again.
Douchebag!
Douchebag.
Douchebag.
Go talk to Lucifer Clinton.
Oh, douchebag.
Just douchebag.
Just makes me angry.
Stupid people.
Stupid people.
Frank Lautenberg is playing his hand on this whole high-speed rail thing.
So they left a billion dollars in that stupid budget for high-speed rail?
That was just the interim budget.
Brother.
A billion dollars.
It's just a waste of money.
Well, it's not a total waste of money.
I mean, it's going to benefit the Berkshire Hathaway investors.
Well, and this is exactly what Lautenberg's Act is about.
He introduced it the first time in 2010.
It's coming back now.
He's emailing constituents about it.
It's the Focusing Resources Economic Investment Guidance to Help Transportation Act.
Do you have the acronym?
Give it to me.
Focus resources...
No, I'm sorry.
Focusing resources, economic investment, and guidance to help transportation act.
Freggedud?
What is...
Freight.
Oh, freight.
Really?
Yeah.
Focusing resources, economic investment, and guidance to help...
Why don't they just tell it like it is?
This is for the freight guys.
Yeah.
The whole thing is about freight.
This has been your assertion from day one.
So they actually make an acronym that says freight?
Yeah, hold on.
Ten and a half, eleven.
Inches.
Unbelievable.
Isn't that crazy?
Nudge, wink, wink.
For you idiots.
What a big joke.
And it's all about, we need infrastructure.
It's going to play a critical role.
And you've got to read through the whole act, the whole bill.
And then now at the bottom, it's like, you know, trains is how we can move freight.
The Freight Act will help bring us national freight policy that will dramatically improve freight mobility in this country.
Yeah, heaven forbid that these big, giant, conglomerate railroad companies put their own damn beds in.
They make the public pay for it so they can make more money.
Well, remember, John, there's only one thing you have to do.
Have you not taken your meds this morning, John?
I always take my meds.
Good.
You know that it's going out of patent, the hard-on drug, Viagra.
Oh?
Yeah, it's next year.
It goes out of patent, so you can watch all kinds of...
Viagra 2.
I'm sorry?
Viagra 2, my prediction.
Really?
Yeah.
Hmm.
I don't know.
Well, they're working on all kinds of stuff.
Of course, there's all kinds of fake Viagra around, and soon that'll be basically legal Viagra.
And Pfizer's freaking out.
They've got to make some more vaccines.
Maybe they could make a vaccine that guarantees a hard-on.
That would be kind of cool.
Huh.
Wouldn't it?
You just take one vaccine when you're like 13 or something and then guaranteed.
13.
You have to be 21 in this country.
Guaranteed no erectile dysfunction.
Perfect.
It's possible.
Why not?
We can just tell them that it works.
Doesn't matter, does it?
I don't think it matters.
No, I don't think so.
So I got a couple of clips we want to get out of the way early.
While we're still ahead.
Before we go off into the boner direction.
Where else am I going to go?
I want to play a couple.
Strike missions continue.
Do you need an intro or are we going straight for it?
Go straight for it.
Well, we've been hearing for weeks, as you said, Shep, that on Capitol Hill there have been testimony from various Pentagon chiefs saying that we had handed over the strike mission to NATO and that U.S. fighter planes would simply be used for refueling missions, for surveillance.
Take a listen to Secretary Gates' lesson two weeks ago on Capitol Hill.
We will not be taking an active part in the strike activities, and we believe that our allies can sustain this for some period of time.
But today, Pentagon spokesmen surprised many of us, letting slip this morning that, in fact, the U.S. had 11 strike fighter aircraft in the fight, six of them F-16s, flying, and on three separate occasions, they dropped bombs on Qaddafi's air defense systems.
You know, but the rebels are still fighting against the Muammar, the leader there, Muammar Gaddafi, and they say they want the U.S. to take a larger role in the operation.
I mean, why wouldn't they?
Well, the French and the British are also highly critical of the U.S. for not taking a larger role, but what we're really hearing from the Pentagon today is that the U.S. is taking a larger role than previously disclosed to the American public.
The Pentagon arguing that these are defensive airstrikes, not offensive airstrikes, The strike mission was over, Shep.
And it's not a war and we haven't taken sides, right?
It was going to last a couple of days.
Yeah, a couple of days, we'll be out.
Just a couple of days, people.
Shep.
You can take that to the bank.
Yeah, no, actually, we have that somewhere.
I need a whole panel just for Obama soundbites at this point.
It's becoming a comedy act.
I mean, the guy is a comedy act.
So why are we not out of Gitmo?
So there was at the Chicago City Club, there was a New York Times reporter asking, of all people, Axelrod, who's now hanging out in Chicago.
Oh yeah, well he's starting up the campaign, that's what he's doing.
He's getting ready for the, he's running the campaign, isn't he, with Pluff again?
I guess, and so whatever the case is, he was in there, the New York Times guy asked him a hard question about how come Obama said we're going to be out of Gitmo, you can take it to the bank.
The first thing he's going to do when I'm president is get us out and close down Gitmo.
Right.
And so it turns out, Axelrod, I got the clip here where he tries to explain it, and of course it's not Obama's fault, even though he can sign executive orders, he's got a million ways of doing it.
He couldn't do it because Congress, even though it was 100% Democrats, Congress wouldn't let him, so he didn't want to push the issue, I guess.
That he, former USC law professor, who knows that this is morally outrageous, why didn't he say, no, I ain't going to sign that because those guys got to get out of there.
Well, let me say a number of things about that.
First of all, Well, I've got to make up a lie.
Let me say a number of things about that.
First of all, let me be clear.
Listen.
Okay, I've got it.
There is this institution, as you mentioned, called the United States Congress.
And under our system, they...
My God, he has to...
John, agree with me.
When you talk like that, you're making up the lie as you go along.
Yeah, you're adding a lot of extra words so your brain can catch up to what you're trying to dream up.
Yeah, there is this institution, as you well know, it's called the American Congress.
They have some authority here.
And they've exercised that authority and they've exercised it, you know, in contravention of the pleas that the President and others have made.
We wanted to close Guantanamo because it was and remains a hindrance to Guantanamo.
To what we're trying to accomplish overseas, it's a negative symbol.
And in that sense, it doesn't enhance our safety.
It detracts from it, and that's why we wanted to move remaining prisoners from Guantanamo to Thompson, Illinois, into another facility there.
And the United States Congress has blocked that.
And has made it more difficult in terms of where the venues in which these folks are going to be tried.
But I will say, Jim, so we're proscribed from it, and so then it becomes a matter of...
You can take that to the bank.
I'll throw a little sugar on top, Johnny Boy.
Pentagon now says they have second thoughts on withdrawal from Iraq.
You got me.
You got me on that one.
Eight months shy of its deadline for pulling the last American soldier from Iraq and closing the door on an eight-year war, the Pentagon is having second thoughts.
Reluctant to say it publicly, officials...
This is from AP, by the way.
Officials fear a final pullout in December could create a security vacuum, offering an opportunity for power grabs by antagonists.
In an unresolved and simmering Arab Kurd dispute, a weakened but still active Al-Qaeda, or even an adventurous neighbor such as Iran.
The U.S. wants to keep perhaps several thousand troops in Iraq, not to engage in combat, but to guard against an unraveling of a still fragile peace.
Yeah, it's real peaceful over there.
Let's go on vacation to Iraq, it's so peaceful.
This was made clear during Defense Secretary Robert Gates' visit Thursday and Friday in which he and the top U.S. commander in Iraq talked up the prospects of an extended U.S. stay.
Oh, really?
How do you answer that, douchebag-a-rod?
Unbelievable.
That's a good one.
It's not a good one.
It's sad is what it is.
It's totally sad.
You dig yourself into a hole and you fall in and you're in there.
Uh, Yeah, it's sad for the U.S. economy since we're going broke and I still have potholes out here, even though there's probably less of them in Iraq.
Hey, you know what?
I've been on that highway from Kuwait City to Baghdad.
It rocks.
I mean, yeah, okay, the bridges are blown out, but it's a 16-lane highway.
There are like eight lanes on each side.
I'm not kidding.
It's a beautiful highway and no potholes, by the way.
Wait, didn't Obama say he was going to get us out of the war first thing when he became president?
You can take that to the bank?
You can take that to the bank.
That's exactly what he said.
Apparently he lied.
No.
Alright, so that's enough of that depressing news.
I have another piece.
Just another little thing to get out of the way here.
This is unreported education news.
I didn't realize this, although I've always suspected it.
I always thought it was weird.
They used to have a bunch of ads here in California about how you should get your two-year-old into Head Start.
Get them in the head start because it's going to, you know, get the kids, start training them early, propagandize them.
I think, of course, you know, you get these kids early into these pre-kindergarten programs, which they had all over California.
They're promoting like crazy, even though they cost a fortune.
Of course, a lot of it's so you can get the kid out of the house, I guess, or you can't, you don't want to raise your kid.
You shouldn't have kids if you don't want to raise them.
But that's okay.
It's another story.
And I might be wrong.
So they...
So there's apparently some studies that have been done.
I didn't know any of this.
This is one of the congressmen.
I have his name somewhere here.
Let me guess.
Dan Dushbach.
No, no, no.
This is a guy.
He's a Reed Bibble.
So Reed Bibble is bitching and moaning.
And he just throws this little gem out.
And I'm going, what?
I never heard any of this.
Is to first recognize that we have a problem.
That there's a sickness in our system and it doesn't work.
And the idea that modest cuts to one program is going to jeopardize the entire education system is just not true.
What it will do, though, is it will begin to send a message to those running those programs that they have to fix them.
The results of an independent Head Start impact study indicate that the benefits of access to Head Start at age four are largely absent by first grade.
It's worse even for those three-year-olds.
Who go in the program.
In fact, the study cited that it had negative impacts on three-year-olds.
And so the time to begin to challenge the status quo is now.
So we need to get a hold of this study, man.
We've got to see what the study's all about.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Now, I'm thinking the interesting thing.
Why would a three-year-old, why would it hurt?
Well, for one thing, he's taking a three-year-old out of his house, his home, and put him in with a bunch of strange kids and a strange teacher.
And then, of course, if you know these programs, they just essentially brainwash the kid, which would depress anybody, especially if you're three.
And so these programs are all crap.
And this guy's just, we have to find the study.
I really hope, if Miss Mickey and I are fortunate enough and blessed with a child, and I would hope that would be a girl, I am going to homeschool her with a stripper pole and just move straight to college.
So she can go straight to college.
You just get ready for college, get the kid on the pole, and you're good to go.
That is the Head Start program Gitmo style that I am thinking of.
I'm very excited about this.
I cannot wait.
College.
Nancy Pelosi?
Go ahead, you finish.
I stepped on whatever punchline.
No, no, it wasn't a punchline, it was a lead-in, so you finish up.
Well, I was just going to say that is something we ought to look into because it doesn't surprise me.
And then this homeschooling thing, which we picked up on earlier, something going on there, too.
The whole system is, again, part of the entire corruption that we're having to deal with.
And, of course, the big news instead, if you watch the news this last couple of days, is O'Biden falling asleep.
That was hilarious.
During the Obama speech, and it's hilarious for a number of reasons.
One, it became a hot news item everywhere.
With the Compromised Ministry of Truth, ABC started it, actually.
So there's something going on because they had a camera on O'Biden, and they're just like...
They're focusing on him until he conks out.
They probably drugged him.
He conks out.
I mean, what were they trying to tell us?
That Obama needs new speechwriters?
I mean, there's some hidden message here, because normally, these in-the-bag TV networks, think about this, everybody.
Oh, Biden's out.
He's out.
No, no, this is the start.
This is the Dean scream for Oh, Biden.
You think?
Yeah, of course.
He's done something wrong.
He has done something fundamentally wrong.
The call went out.
Embarrassed the guy.
Hey, for all I know, this could have been inserted footage.
I don't even know if it's O'Biden from that speech.
Who the hell knows?
No, I think the call went out.
This was a total political two to the head.
Political.
Yeah, I agree with that.
If I were O'Biden, I'd stay away from the hot tub.
Well, maybe this is, not to get too weird about this, although Obama is running for president.
He's already on the campaign trail, so one of our theories was that he's going to resign, and then, of course, Biden would want to run, and then Hillary would want to run, but the script is for Hillary.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, she's the setup man.
And so you want to first take Biden out if anything does happen, but Obama is running.
Now, Obama's starting to run a little prematurely.
In other words, he's running earlier than he really should have to, and he's going to collect a billion dollars, which seems like a lot of money.
And apparently, he still has $300 million tucked away.
Did you know that?
Yeah, from the last campaign.
None of this gets audited.
I've been talking to a lot of IT guys, and I'm going to encourage anybody else to send me an email, johnatdivorek.org, if you have any way of documenting or showing how you can scam.
Small donations through the internet.
So in other words, a big donor, somebody wants to give them like $25 million.
You put it in a pot.
The pot starts cranking out fake IPs and donating 55555 for a couple of days.
And the next thing you know, you've got the $20 million transferred from some Arab sheik.
Or Qatar or whatever, or the people that put together Al Jazeera, everybody's also hot over now all of a sudden.
And all of a sudden this shows up in American coffers, which is totally an illegal contribution, but it could be done on the internets.
Here's a thought.
Because, of course, you and I have to pay taxes over all these giving levels.
What if we just create the no agenda ticket, right?
And so we start an exploratory committee.
We actually run for the presidency and the vice presidency.
I don't have to tell you which one you are.
And can we just take all that as campaign donations?
You have to spend them.
Yeah, like there's a lot left over I'm saving.
Yeah.
After we pay bills.
Right.
No agenda news network is now like six hundred bucks a month.
I don't mind.
I like the idea.
I'd rather just keep continuing the way we're going in so far as opposed to scamming the system because the paperwork for this is you need a full-time bookkeeper.
Yeah.
I can see Eric is cringing.
No, I don't want to do books.
Now it's easy.
It's like, here's my money.
It's like, here you go.
Take it.
It's all over.
What do you mean?
You're going to be the vice president?
Yeah, of course.
I get to fall asleep.
I get all the hot strippers.
I would rather doze off.
So, anyway, something is up with the old Bidens falling asleep and the...
Well, particularly because ABC News broke it and it's their video that's propagating.
And as we know, the president of ABC News, the brand new president of ABC News, his sister is a special senior advisor to President Obama.
So there's no way in hell that would happen.
I mean, can you imagine if it was unintentional?
No.
So this is a call went out.
It's very obvious.
Yeah, it's intentional, definitely.
I have an end of show clip, John, which I think will be kind of fun to listen to.
You're never going to listen to my Trump clip.
So before we do that, let me play the Trump clip and get at least the first one, the short one, which is Trump will do a great job.
This is basically all he ever says now.
A great job.
If I run and if I win.
Right.
A great job if I run and if I win.
A great job if I run and if I win.
But his numbers are pretty big according to the polls.
Yeah, it's all bogus.
Of course it's bogus.
He's essentially a red herring and he's also setting up, he gets to do the Obama birth certificate thing without getting the whole party in trouble.
And he also gets to experiment with what works and what doesn't work because he gets attention for coming up off the wall with various comments.
And he wins because the ratings for Celebrity Apprentice just keep going up.
So it's perfect.
Everybody wins.
NBC wins.
GE wins.
Or Comcast now.
Trump wins.
Everybody wins.
And most of the time you see Trump, he's on NBC, which is of course a stooge for the Obama administration because we know that, what's his name, is brought over to the administration and GE doesn't have to pay any taxes.
And the only other place that plays the Trump card a lot is MSNBC. And they do it mockingly.
Oh, this is crazy.
These Republicans are all idiots.
But then they play hours of Trump.
Right.
They love some Mr.
Trumps.
I got an email from Boots on the Ground.
producer Nathan who was a student at Wichita State University as a guest speaker the other day here on campus the speaker was Gary Bridges do you know who Gary Bridges is no senior vice president of Cisco this the human network remember Cisco's tagline the human network should Yeah, that works.
Well, Gary's speech focused on the future of the internet.
However, none of his hour-long diatribe discussed the internet as we think about it, referring to web browsing, etc.
His speech focused on technology and ideas that Cisco is currently working on.
He said that about 1% of the U.S. population has schizophrenia and has trouble taking their medicine.
He literally passed around a package that included a Band-Aid-type tracking device that is placed on the lower back of the patient, and the pills that are prescribed are linked to the Band-Aid.
The Band-Aid has a small chip that connects using Wi-Fi to satellites and tracks the patient via GPS to the doctors that administer the care for that patient.
He literally said, They can tell if you did not take your meds, and if you did not take your meds, someone will contact you via phone, or we will send a nurse to your residence to ensure you take your meds.
I looked over at my wife and gave her a Hot Pockets in the morning and, shut up, slaves, take your meds, but she blew me off.
Can you believe it?
I actually sent him a mailbag and said, dude, easy on the wife, man.
He also, Bridges, the VP of Cisco, also said he believes the information age will be dead by 2025 and then nanotechnology and new medical technology will be the wave of the future.
I thought that was a great email.
We get lots of emails like this from the boots on the ground.
And I think a couple other things that just run through the show notes.
The IRS is going to be using pre-crime enforcement tactics now.
I'm sure you've blogged about that, John.
Hello?
I got a note about it.
I don't think it's been put on the blog yet.
They're using software that basically predicts if you're the kind of person that will cheat on your taxes, so they'll come and check you out.
Yeah, they have, but this is nothing new with the IRS. The IRS has profiling software that they've used for years.
For example, if you're a professional writer...
They run a program against you and they can tell how you're spending your money, essentially, because you would have a certain level of expenses and a certain level of this and that.
And they do this with most professions.
They can tell doctors.
This is how they busted all the waitresses some years back.
It was a big scandal.
Yeah, they also go sit in cafes and stuff and they count how many drinks are sold and then calculate what it should be.
They've got all kinds of methods.
But it's a little more scary now as they're now talking about the technique.
They're really talking about it in a pre-crime sort of way.
Yeah, I think it's always been that.
But yeah, it might be a little worse.
And it will be a part of...
If you see something, see!
Hey, hey man.
Hey, you know, I don't think he's paying his taxes.
If you see something, say something.
Also now at Sydney Airport, the see something, say something signs.
Even though it's a U.S. Homeland Security Department initiative, it's spawning all over the globe.
And we want our Australian listeners to take pictures of that and send it to that no agenda photo thing we're doing.
You know they're also trying to ban topless sunbathing in Australia?
Not enough college students?
I don't know, but it's like a bunch of...
Why?
What is their problem in Australia?
Well, I have a clip.
It'll be funny to listen to.
Here we go.
A sunny afternoon on a beach in Sydney and hundreds have come to relax and soak up the sun.
But trouble is brewing for those who get too relaxed because conservative politicians and a Christian morals campaigner want to clamp down on top of this sunbathing.
Those who want to tan without strap marks may find they're banned from beaches in the whole of New South Wales.
I love the alliteration.
Those who want a son without strap marks might have a ban on the beaches.
Douche woman.
Australian morals campaigner Reverend Fred Nile believes women degrade themselves by exposing too much.
She demeans herself.
I believe that she's taken away her own self-respect and I'd say any of the men around that area would not have any respect for that girl and probably would think that she's cheap.
That's exactly what I think.
What a bunch of bull crap.
I'm like, hey, nice boobies, you must be cheap.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, a good way to get slapped.
This guy is like an obvious douchebag.
Yeah, let's hit him with one of those.
Douchebag!
A lot like Europe, it's very common in Australia.
By the way, it's part of the human anatomy.
It's part of your body.
Is there anything in the Bible about it?
Oh, you can't show a breast?
Yeah, I mean, have you ever seen some of those pictures from back in the day?
Some of those paintings?
Everyone was naked!
And some, you know...
Anyway, okay, it's just another bad thing going on down under.
Yeah.
I did see...
Oh, that was kind of interesting, kind of along those lines.
Let me see if I can find this.
Yeah, here it is.
Pennsylvania, which of course is a hotbed of shills who show up in the Middle East and North Africa.
They all go to university in Pennsylvania.
A federal judge has ruled that it is okay to wear those bracelets, John, like the rubber bracelets that people sell.
It started with, I guess, Lance Armstrong's Livestrong.
So there's a new wave of them, and this went all the way to a judge.
It says, I heart boobies for breast cancer fundraising.
And the judges said, no, that's okay, because apparently he loves them boobies.
But that's okay, so we can use us.
Why would this go to court in the first place?
Because we've got...
Do you think idiots are only allowed in Australia?
But it just says, it says, I heart boobies and people, oh, this is terrible!
Let's sue him!
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my goodness!
If you see something, say something!
He's wearing a bracelet with boobies on it!
If you see something, say something!
And here's the crazy one that a lot of people are talking about.
This is so nuts.
This is in Seattle, not far from where the Dvorak family is hanging out.
A sophomore at a local private high school ran into a little trouble.
Jessica is 16.
This is great.
I had an idea to fill little plastic eggs with treats and jelly beans and other candy for a community service project, but I was unsure how the teacher would feel about it.
She was concerned how the teacher might react to the eggs after a meeting earlier in the week where she learned about their abstract behavior rules at the school.
I went to the abstract behavior rules.
This is a new one.
I went to the teacher to get her approval, and she wanted to ask the administration to see if it was okay.
She said, no problem with the eggs, but you couldn't call them Easter eggs.
You have to call them spring spheres.
What?
What?
So they have these rules, abstract behavior rules, because we have to be fair to all children of other beliefs and religions, and we can't be giving anyone any props above the others.
We don't talk about Christmas.
We can't talk about Easter eggs.
They are spring spheres.
How come they can't be spring eggs?
I don't know.
It's not a sphere, for one thing.
No, it's an oval.
Generally speaking, I've got these.
We use them here for Easter hunts.
And they're little eggs that are hollow, and you pull them apart, and you put some money in them, or some candy, whatever you want to do.
Well, of course, the other big story this week, besides that stupidity, which is unbelievable, this is, again, the problem with public schools, is the little kid that got felled up by the TSA, the six-year-old.
Yeah.
Well, that was actually last week, actually.
When you watch the movie, by the way, I think we just saw the film a couple days ago.
The kid is freaking out.
The kid's freaking out, but the TSA douchebag pushes the mom aside.
We've heard over and over and over again in various testimonies that we picked up on C-SPAN that you're not supposed to do that.
The mom should be right there.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I know.
So, maybe we should do your end of show clip, because my end of show clip is not going to make you feel any better.
I can guarantee that.
What is it about?
Predator drones inside the United States of America.
Oh, we can run that next week.
My thing is Trump going on and on about himself.
It's very funny, and it shows you what a joke the media is for playing this.
It's obviously a setup.
It's a scam.
It's ridiculous.
Okay, good.
I feel much better about doing that.
I hope you all enjoyed our little program.
We worked very hard on it.
We appreciate you keeping it running with your giving levels to the program.
It is Dvorak.org slash NA. That's all you have to remember.
We have Mr.
Oil's Crude coming up after the end of show clip.
And remember...
Make sure to also visit NoAgendaShow.com.
We can also link to the donation page.
And also NoAgendaNation.com and you can slash...
N-A or slash donate if you can't get to the Dvorak.org site.
Yeah, and shutupslaves.com slash donate.
NoagendaNewsNetwork.com.
I've got a couple more contributors if you want to contribute.
Hit me up, AdamMcCurry.com.
And we are looking for the RV for our Gitmo Nation tour.
So coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center here in Gitmo Nation West, still in the People's Republic of Southern California, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley and the Buzzkill Bunker.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service right here on No Agenda.
You're going to be paying seven or eight dollars a gallon for your oil very soon.
But do you blame this all on Barack Obama?
Well, I blame a lot of it.
It's been a terrible presidency.
Look at Libya.
We go in, we don't want to remove Gaddafi, but we're going to go fight, and we're good at this, and now nobody knows what's happening, and it looks like Gaddafi is going to beat the United States.
Would you as president say, let's get more aggressive, let's put boots on the ground if we have to?
I'm only interested in Libya if we keep the oil.
If we don't keep the oil, I'm not interested.
I don't know who the rebels are.
You know, they make the rebels like it's some romantic, beautiful novel, the rebels.
I hear the rebels are al-Qaeda.
I hear they're Iran-backed and Iran-influenced.
Where are they getting those weapons before we came along?
From Iran.
Gaddafi's going to go around saying he won the war against his country.
When you ask me what I do, I'm only interested in Libya if we get the oil.
All right, so everybody...
Wonders what the Obama doctrine is, asking questions.
He doesn't have a doctrine.
He doesn't have a doctrine.
Would you?
What's your doctrine?
What would your doctrine be?
About what?
With respect to what?
Foreign affairs.
Foreign affairs is we take care of ourselves first, okay?
We don't build schools in Afghanistan.
We go to Afghanistan, we build a road, we build a school.
Two days later, they blow up the road, they blow up the school, we start building the road and the school again.
In the meantime, we can't build schools in Alabama, in New Orleans, in Texas, in New York, my place where we're always fighting to try and get school money.
We're spending trillions and trillions of dollars.
My thing and my doctrine?
Would be build, build, build.
Some positive news for you, this new poll, NBC News Wall Street Journal poll that shows you surging to second place among potential GOP candidates for 2012.
Why do you think that you are connecting with voters?
I think that I connect with people because I happen to be smart.
I happen to have a lot of common sense.
I happen to know what I'm doing.
I built a great company.
And by the way, if I run, I look so forward to filing a declaration because it's a great company.
I built a great company.
And I'll make that decision sometime prior to June.
What are you waiting for?
Well, I hate to say it.
I have the number one show on NBC. That's pretty good, fellas.
Is that a correct statement?
I mean, The Apprentice is doing great, The Celebrity Apprentice.
And I am not allowed to run.
What does that have to do with it?
It has a lot to do.
It sounds so trivial, and I hate to even bring it up.
But I'm not allowed to run during the show.
No, you're not allowed to have a show on and be a declared candidate.
Thank you, pizza pie!
It's a great show and it's got phenomenal ratings and until that show is over, I can't declare because otherwise NBC would have to take the show off the air and I think that would be very unfair to NBC. Recently you spent a lot of time talking about President Obama's birth certificate or lack thereof.
You don't seem convinced that he has one.
No, I'm not convinced that he has one.
I've had very smart people say, Donald, Stay on the China issue.
Stay on the Saudi Arabia issue.
Stay on the India taking our jobs and the Mexico, which is NAFTA, which cleaned out New England.
Get off the birth certificate issue.
Why don't you?
Because you know what?
Three weeks ago when I started, I thought he was probably born in this country.
And now I really have a much bigger doubt than I did before.
But based on what?
And you know what?
His grandmother in Kenya said he was born in Kenya and she was there and witnessed the birth.
Okay?
He doesn't have a birth certificate or he hasn't shown it.
He has what's called a certificate of live birth.
That is something that's easy to get.
When you want a birth certificate, it's very hard to get.
But it's considered the equivalent.
It's not the equivalent.
In the state of Hawaii, they said they have seen this document.
Meredith, it's not the equivalent.
It's evidence that he was born in the United States.
That's good enough for them.
Scholars have looked at them.
A birth certificate is not even close.
A certificate of live birth is not even signed by anybody.
I saw his.
I read it very carefully.
It doesn't have a serial number.
It doesn't have a signature.
There's not even a signature.
Do you believe he's lying?
I'm starting to think that he was not born here.
Do you believe he's lying, Donald?
Come on, just answer.
He spent two million dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue.
And if he weren't lying, why wouldn't he just solve it?
And I wish he would.
Because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history period.
You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country.
He may not have been born in this country.
And I'll tell you what, three weeks ago I thought he was born in this country.
Right now I have some real doubts.
I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding.
You have people now down there searching, I mean, in Hawaii?
Absolutely.
And they cannot believe what they're finding.
I would like to have him show his birth certificate.
And can I be honest with you?
I hope he can.
Because if he can't, if he can't, and if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility, I'm not saying it's a real possibility, much greater than I thought two or three weeks ago, then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics.
And beyond politics.
Do you consider yourself a Tea Partier?
I think so.
I'm very proud of some of the ideas they put forth.
And the big idea is they want to stop this ridiculous, absolutely killer of spending that's going on.
What's going on in this country, the way we're spending money like drunken sailors, we are just absolutely going...
And ultimately, we're going to destroy our own freedom.
But they want to stop it even at the cost of shutting down the government.
That's a possibility.
Are you in favor of that?
Excuse me.
It's not really shutting down the government.
It's cutting costs.
The kind of money that you're talking about is peanuts.
And I think the Tea Party has done an amazing service for this country because people now, even very liberal Democrats, are starting to think for the first time, well maybe we can't just keep giving everything away.
So I think they performed a great service.
So if there were a partial shutdown of the government come Friday, That would be okay with you.
In my opinion, you know, I hear the Democrats are going to be blamed and the Republicans are going to be blamed.
I actually think the president would be blamed.
If there is a shutdown, and it's not going to be a horrible shutdown, because as you know, things will sort of keep going.
Well, there's a partial shutdown, right.
If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States.
He's the one that has to get people together.
I'm a dealman.
I made hundreds and hundreds of deals and transactions.
He never did deals before.
How can you expect a man that's not a dealman, that never did a deal, other than, frankly, becoming President of the United States, he never did a deal?
How's he going to corral all these people?
So how would you do it now?
You're in the Oval Office right now.
I would get everybody together and we'd have a budget.
They've all gotten together.
Well, that's because they don't have the right leader.
You don't have the right leader.
This is the President of the United States has to get this done.
And I think he probably will.
Now, I don't say he, but I think he and the group probably will get it done.
But it's pretty sad because the whole world is looking at us and laughing at us.
You've criticized Obama quite a bit in this interview and in the past.
What do you think he has done well?
Get elected.
I think he did a great job when he ran for office.
That's it?
Well, I think Obamacare is a total disaster.
I think the thing that he did best, best of all, is get elected.
He got elected.
He ran an unbelievable campaign.
I want him to do well.
If I had my choice of having Obama do great as a president, And do a really great job for this country.
And not running, as opposed to running and doing, I'd prefer that he did a great job.
I love this country.
But this country is going to hell.
I would run a great, great country.
This country will be great again.
It is not great right now.
We have huge deficits.
We have huge unemployment.
We have a huge problem.
And we're not respected.
We're not respected in the world.
The world laughs at us.
They won't be laughing if I'm president.
