	Adam, it's a terrible storm here, and the ducks, the ducks are flying, and they just are flying away from the storm.
	It's a bad sign, Adam.
	The water's rising, it's rising up to my west.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It is Sunday, August 28th, 2011, time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 334.
	This is No Agenda.
	Tracking the tracking of Irene from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from the Northern Encampment, I'm John C. Duvall.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	The encampment, eh?
	All right.
	In the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you and in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground.
	Yeah, and all of our human resources who are charged up, ready to go once again as our government loves them in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net as the show is always performed live Sunday mornings, Thursday mornings.
	And you are up in upstate Washington, upstate there, Port Angeles, northern encampment, is that what you call it?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Well, when did you get up there?
	After a couple of days ago.
	Okay.
	I got up here a couple of days ago.
	Yeah, that's what I mean.
	So have you been following the news?
	Yeah.
	There's not much going on except this hurricane.
	This thing has me baffled.
	It really does.
	It has me absolutely baffled.
	There's only one thing I can think that this whole farce is about, because it is a farce, obviously.
	This is like a test of the Council of Governors.
	That's the executive order that President Obama enacted in January 2010 for all kinds of disasters.
	And it coincides so nicely with another earthquake in Albany and, of course, the drill for massive human migration towards West Virginia.
	But it certainly wasn't like a really, really horrible, devastating storm, the one that was promised.
	Well, I know they had people bailing out, and I think the whole thing was just kind of a talking point regarding global warming.
	Well, you know, interesting you say that, because...
	Oh, geez.
	First, before we get there, I just want to give people who are not in the United States, because we do have plenty of listeners around the world, and I don't think CNN International...
	Or any of the other news channels and their hype of this, which, by the way, completely threw Libya off the map.
	It's like, nothing going on in Libya.
	This is a huge distraction, as we would say.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Let me try and give you an example of the past 48 hours on all television channels here in the United States.
	So you have to kind of throw it to me, John.
	I'll be a guy outside with a jacket on and a hood and fighting against the wind.
	Okay?
	You've got to toss it to me.
	We have Adam in the storm as we speak.
	Adam?
	Yeah, hello.
	John, it's kind of hard to hear.
	As you can tell, Irene is just raging up the coast, completely enthralling everything.
	We see sea surges, sea walls.
	It is just, I mean, we can barely stand here.
	It is obviously everyone who is not already evacuated must be evacuated.
	Uh-oh, here it comes.
	Oh, no, oh, no.
	There's more where that came from.
	That's pretty much what we had the past 48 hours.
	It's ludicrous!
	Completely crazy!
	And when this started, because we went to Vegas for my daughter's 21st birthday, so this started Friday, and Mickey's like, I'm like, no, trust me, this is nothing.
	I can tell.
	You can see that when they started morphing away From actually talking about the strength of the storm as it started to die down.
	I was like, oh, this is just all over.
	This is not going to happen.
	Let me play you...
	I love the adjectives that people were using for this now tropical wet fart.
	This is ABC, the compromise news organization.
	...witnessing history.
	Rarely before has a hurricane barreled forward...
	...barreled forward...
	...with so many major American cities in her past.
	Irene is roaring up the east...
	...roaring up the east coast...
	...coast tonight.
	The hurricane's eye is moving into Virginia.
	You're looking live at Nags Head, North Carolina, pummeling that...
	that region all day and now the view from another perspective you can see from space that is the angry swirling high above earth tonight and this eveningirene is a category one hurricane winds of Category 1!
	Category 1 is nothing.
	Just to give you an idea, a couple of things I was doing.
	I was watching CNN, and I would see where the reporter would be standing.
	And by the way, these are all really tight shots.
	This is a television trick.
	It really is.
	Do the same thing with all the Libya and all the Arab Spring footage as well.
	You just do a tight shot on the reporter, and you don't really have a lot of background information coming to you.
	Well, one of the things I want to point out, I want to remind people of a clip that floated around during one of these flood situations someplace in the country where the reporter was in a boat.
	And he's showing the devastation, this huge devastation, this great flood as he's in the boat reporting.
	And then some guy walks by in waders.
	And I just want to say one thing, because here's the typical response.
	I'm already seeing it in the chat room.
	Ten people died, man!
	Listen, if people were on the streets, a hundred people would have died.
	People die all the time, every single day.
	In traffic accidents, I think probably less people died in the past 48 hours than is typical.
	Would you agree?
	Hey, kick those people out of the chat room.
	Those guys make me sick.
	I had some guy just tweet me the other day about, oh, look, I guess this proves you wrong.
	To a New York Times article saying that Romney and Perry aren't the best of friends, and thus my theory that he'd become the vice president is no chance.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, that's alright.
	We'll take the licking and we'll keep on ticking.
	I just have to do more on this, John, because I've almost obsessed with this reporting.
	It is mind-controlling people.
	And I have to remind myself and Mickey, I remember we were in this earthquake in D.C. It wasn't all that bad as the way it was reported within seconds.
	We saw the transition.
	We saw how television started reporting it.
	But this, I mean, to completely...
	Stop reporting on the continuous NATO bombing of Libya, which is really weird to me, since if you've already captured Tripoli, why do you have to continue to bomb?
	I guess something's not right.
	Apparently, by the way, they've been bombing a pathway to that.
	They just bomb the crap out of these people.
	These dumb rebels take credit for everything.
	When you are a Nobel Peace Prize winner, that's what you do.
	You carpet bomb people.
	Here's Mayor Bloomberg of New York City.
	The beaches are closed for the weekend, as will all cultural institutions.
	And once the storm hits, it is just not safe to be in the parks either.
	The risk of falling tree limbs is serious.
	Serious!
	And people can get killed there.
	Killed!
	For the surfers, we all know that it's a lot of fun to catch a big wave.
	This storm is dangerous, and we just don't have the resources.
	We don't want to put our first responders' lives in jeopardy to try to save you.
	By the way, the same first responders that Mayor Michael Bloomberg will not allow to be at the 9-11 ceremony for the 10th anniversary.
	So go ahead and save people, but don't get honored for your work on the 9-11.
	Here's where I got really suspicious of this entire operation.
	C-SPAN cut away to the President and Lucy Napolitano making a visit Which, of course, was covered by cameras.
	And you hear cameras, you know, the video camera obviously is there.
	And you hear photography, still cameras clicking away continuously.
	They made a visit to the operations center at FEMA. Did you see this, John, by any chance?
	No, I did not.
	Okay.
	And so these are the people who are monitoring and doing such a great job monitoring everything.
	But what happens is they come in and people are whooping it up like, woo!
	Woo!
	Like that.
	And this is FEMA. This is the operation center.
	And I'm like, what?
	And then when he leaves, they whoop it up even more.
	And at one point, I encourage you to look at this clip in the show notes at 334.nashownotes.com.
	Someone says, thank you, Mr.
	President!
	And Lucy Napolitano turns to that person.
	And does a, you know, and like a pumps her fist, like, yeah, that's good.
	Yeah, that's how you do it.
	So, which to me can only signify this is a PR move for either his presidential re-election, or for the Council of Governors, or just the fact that we can control slaves by telling them what to do.
	I don't know, but listen to the whooping, and just listen, it's very strange.
	Right.
	Alright, what do we got in here?
	The other side.
	This is the red team here.
	Yes, sir.
	Good to see you.
	How you doing?
	How you doing?
	How are you, sir?
	How are you?
	Nice to see you.
	Nice to see you.
	So what do we got here, Craig?
	This is where, when we get the requests from the governors, we are working to move stuff.
	This is really where you see the federal agency kind of resources.
	This is the team that, on behalf of the entire federal family, coordinates getting the things down to the governors that they need.
	All right, well...
	You hear all this governor talk, right?
	It's all about the federal family.
	We coordinate this down to the governor.
	This is how we make it all happen.
	This is where it happens.
	The red team!
	Everybody here, you guys are doing a great job, obviously.
	We're monitoring the situation closely.
	Thank you, Mr.
	President.
	But I will tell you...
	You hear the thank you, Mr.
	President, and Lucy's like, yeah, very good, good, good.
	You followed instructions, perfect.
	When I was on the phone with the governors and the mayors yesterday, and I asked them, was there anything they could think of that...
	Our team, meaning you, could be doing to help them get prepared.
	There was quiet on the phone, and that was a good sign.
	What that meant was you guys were going above and beyond the call of duty in terms of making sure that you were Asking state and local folks what they needed and making sure that you were deploying those resources in a timely way.
	This is still obviously going to be a touch-and-go situation for a lot of communities, but knowing that they've got an outstanding response team like this makes all the difference in the world.
	We really appreciate you.
	Proud of you.
	Especially because you're all not going to get any sleep for the next 72 hours.
	Here it comes.
	Father, thanks for having me.
	Thank you.
	What is that?
	What is that about?
	They're all whooping it up there?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Now then, I got a couple clips.
	Well, you're on Napolitano.
	I do have a Napolitano clip I want to play.
	Okay, good.
	I got one too.
	This clip's called Hunker Down.
	She decides to use this word hunker down because she can't tell anybody really what to do.
	And there's also a discrepancy piece of information at the end of this clip.
	But she has to say, quote, hunker down.
	What does this mean, quote, unquote, hunker down?
	Governor Perdue this morning, she said they were now, quote, hunkered down, close quote, but they are ready to do damage assessments as soon as possible, especially for assets like the bridges and the roads.
	Irene remains a large and dangerous storm.
	People need to take it seriously.
	People need to be prepared.
	As we have suggested during the week, think of this in three phases.
	Preparation, response, and recovery.
	Some of our states are now moving into the response mode, but other states, as they are further north along the Atlantic seacoast, are still in preparation mode.
	So if you receive a warning to evacuate, please do so.
	Even if you haven't received a warning during the storm, please stay inside, quote, hunker down until the storm passes.
	Stay off the roads so the roads can be clear for emergency vehicles for our first responders.
	Uh, yeah.
	So here's the, besides the hunker down thing, she feels, I guess she doesn't know what it means, or she has to quote it, I don't know.
	Yeah, well, what is this, well, the thing that's weird is, I mean, hunker down, of course, definition means to take shelter into a ball and hide in a corner.
	Yeah, but to say quote, I think we should just talk that way.
	Uh, John, uh, quote in the morning, quote to you.
	Uh, Adam, in the morning, unquote.
	This is, I don't, what is that?
	She's an idiot.
	Yes, hold on a second.
	Absolutely.
	Unquote.
	So here's what gets me.
	She says, you know, evacuate.
	If you don't evacuate, hunker down.
	But stay off the road.
	So how do you evacuate by staying off the roads?
	The whole thing is...
	How does that make any sense?
	You're supposed to stay off the roads, but you're supposed to evacuate.
	She actually said that, didn't she?
	Yeah, you're right.
	Well, she came on all kinds of news.
	She was doing news hits, as we call it, where she'll sit there with her little sign in the background and her big necklace with boulders around her neck.
	And then she does one news hit after another.
	This, I think, is Fox.
	And an interesting question gets posed, which I like.
	Have supplies near your home.
	Please anticipate, even if you are inland, that you could experience some long-term power outage.
	The very fact that you've made yourself available today, we always appreciate that, Secretary, speaks of, I would imagine, the enormity of this issue.
	Some have been saying it's a bad storm, it's not a lethal storm.
	What do these guys in Washington know that we don't?
	What do you?
	Well, we don't want it to be a lethal storm.
	What?
	What do you guys know in Washington that we don't about this hoax?
	So I would literally be watching, it was like Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, and I'd see the guy standing there.
	I need to get my sound effects back out again.
	I could see the guy standing there and...
	I gotta tell ya, it's uh...
	Did you see this railing here?
	A piece of that flew away just before we turned the live shot on.
	Sorry we didn't have that for ya.
	And uh, whoa!
	My goodness!
	We just hope everyone stays off the roads, even if you're evacuating.
	Unquote.
	And then I go to Weather Underground, which I use a lot.
	Weather Underground is a very interesting website.
	They have universities, schools, other types of buildings, but also a lot of individuals who have their own weather stations connected to this website.
	So you can go in and you can see what their weather station is registering.
	And this guy's doing this report, and I literally see like four mile an hour wind.
	At Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
	And then, you know, New York City, oh, same thing.
	We got, you know, people like freaking out.
	And then it's like, you know, 30 miles an hour.
	Let me tell you, I've flown my Cessna, rest her soul, I've flown my Cessna in 45 knot winds.
	Just to give you some perspective of how bad that is, I've flown an airplane, a small aircraft, in 45 mile an hour winds with gusting up to 55.
	Just to give you a perspective on how bad that is.
	It's not all that crazy.
	And what is this CNN phony meter they have on screen the whole time?
	What, they have like a guy standing following the storm and holding up a wind meter?
	Ugh!
	This is kind of funny from your perspective because while you were watching all this crap, I've been kind of like watching Sky.
	Are you going to move off of Irene?
	Oh no, if you want to, you've got more.
	I got two clips from Irene.
	Now it's just time to laugh.
	I wouldn't mind talking about the guy who was kept getting pummeled by sea foam, and this is like a big breaking story in MyFox.
	Yeah, let's play that.
	That was kind of funny.
	We've continued to deteriorate in a big way.
	We've had wind gusts to about 60 miles per hour here.
	I'm on the board.
	Woo, woo, 60!
	This is one of the most popular sort of hot spots here in Ocean City during the summer.
	And just in the past hour or so, The waves are really starting to pick up, and they've been making a charge at the seawall, which was built back in the 1980s after Hurricane Gloria.
	Now, there's all kinds of foam flying onto this guy.
	Green foam.
	There's foam that is riding over the top and starting to stick to all the hotels and buildings right along the boardwalk here.
	Excuse me, it's in my face as well, as you can imagine.
	It doesn't taste great.
	And why doesn't it taste great, John?
	Why don't you tell us, why does that foam not taste great?
	If I'm not mistaken, it was a sewage treatment plant that was, I guess, overflowed.
	It's poop!
	That's why!
	It's poop!
	It's got a bunch of foaming crap all over.
	I think foaming crap should be the logo of the fox.
	Oh my goodness.
	And then there was the Weather Channel.
	I saw some people, because I was looking around the tweeters, and this is a report from a Weather Channel guy.
	I love watching the Weather Channel.
	And I will tell you what happens when he starts to respond to people walking around.
	Just listen to this.
	Four winds, so at least it'll be okay as far as the winds are concerned.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You know, we're just a few feet away from that hotel, so if need be, we can find a good place for shelter.
	Anytime you're near one of the buildings, that's when you really feel that acceleration of the wind coming around the building.
	You head right out to the oceanfront.
	The winds are a little calmer, but we're seeing them start to pick up more and more.
	We were in a lull.
	Now we've got another rain band coming ashore.
	Norfolk has been repeatedly gusting over 50 miles We're talking about dozens of people.
	So what's happening, while this guy is talking, he's about to go crazy about it.
	There's like 15 college frat boys in nothing but their underwear, jumping around behind him, mooning the guy, waving their dicks out.
	Just like they're dancing in the rain.
	And this guy doesn't, because he's trying to do a serious report.
	And to be honest, I'm pretty much speechless.
	I've always been seeing in terms of how many people have been driving around, people like what you see behind me, which I apologize for.
	I don't even want to show it.
	At this point, I don't even want to show you anymore how many people are out and about, how many cars are driving around.
	You've got to see that clip.
	It's hilarious.
	These guys are literally jumping with their wangs out.
	It's funny.
	So, basically, it's all those horrible 50 mile an hour winds, which we have on the West Coast constantly.
	Horrible 50 miles an hour!
	50 whole miles an hour winds, and this guy's complaining because people are driving their car.
	Yeah, and frat boys.
	So, what is wrong with the East Coast?
	Did they turn into a bunch of weenies?
	Now, this is just mind-consisting.
	The earthquake, first we had the earthquake last week, and they're all freaked out, acting like a bunch of nitties, and now we have this?
	No, John, this is just media propaganda to, I think for the following, well, there's three things, and you said it right off the bat, and this next clip will prove it.
	The first thing is to just push you into submission and believe your news, and tell you what to do.
	Because, hey, without a doubt, most people went, okay, I'm hunkering down, unquote.
	Then it's, I guess, to test the Council of Governors for any kind of emergency.
	Then it's, I guess, prepping for the one where everyone's going to have to mass migration to West Virginia.
	And then, obviously, it's all about climate change.
	And this is Sam Champion.
	Actually, my worst nightmare came true.
	Don Lemon is now guest hosting the Joy Behar show.
	I mean, it doesn't get any worse than that.
	Wow.
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	I missed that one.
	So Don Lemon is guest hosting for Joy Behar.
	This is on Friday, I believe.
	And he sits down with Sam Champion, Senior Weather Meteorological Correspondent for ABC News!
	Let's see how our friend Sam Champion predicts, along with, of course, if we want to have some scientific information, who do you call?
	Bill Nye the Science Guy!
	...approaching just a day after the worst earthquake in 70 years hit the East Coast.
	The quake and the storm have some people wondering why we seem to be dealing with more natural disasters.
	Why?
	John, why?
	Why do we seem to be dealing with that?
	Earthquakes, hurricanes, global warming.
	Why?
	Or are we?
	Here to help us sort out all of this, many more questions.
	Nice sound effect.
	The Science Guy and Sam Champion, weather anchor for ABC's Good Morning America.
	Good evening.
	To you, Sam.
	You're a busy man.
	So listen, Hurricane Irene, barreling.
	Does this stand a chance to become a really major storm?
	Are we in trouble?
	Yeah.
	I think this is going to be a major storm.
	We're absolutely...
	I love this.
	This is the guy who you're supposed to believe every morning.
	We're absolutely in trouble.
	Major storm.
	There's nothing between it and growth.
	It's getting all the support it needs by warm water, clear air fields to get this thing to strengthen.
	It will at least be a four.
	Could even tip into a five.
	No!
	John, it could even tip into a five!
	A five?
	A five!
	A five!
	And heading toward land.
	And we believe based on the current projections or track, if it follows the track the Hurricane Center has set up for it, it kind of kicks off on the outer banks and then could even find a home on Long Island and then go on into New England later on in the date as a one or a worst case scenario.
	Now let's get into the climate change thing.
	Everybody on the East Coast has to watch this storm.
	They just have to.
	Every update could change, and we need to be prepared.
	And Bill, you know, hurricanes heading up the East Coast are much rarer than hurricanes in the Gulf, correct?
	Are you talking to me?
	Have you ever seen this guy?
	Have you ever seen him?
	Bill Nye the science guy?
	Yeah, goofball.
	What are you talking to me?
	He's on remote.
	Are you talking to me?
	Yeah, well sure.
	So far.
	But there's a lot of energy in the atmosphere and there are hurricanes.
	They've been going on for many, many hundreds of years.
	Oh, hundreds of years.
	John, this is our science guy telling us that hurricanes have gone on for many, many hundreds of years.
	You don't think it could be millions of years?
	Thousands of years, and so we always have to be prepared for it.
	Just as our infrastructure, our electrical wires, and our internet, and our television communications become more important to us, we rely on them more, and we have to make sure we secure that stuff.
	This actually also hit me, is a lot of this might be about the smart grid or upgrading the grid, because it seems like the main number that is being used on the fake news channels is how many people are without electricity.
	It's like, oh, no electricity.
	No electricity.
	Millions without electricity.
	Well, most of the stories I heard, they were always, including the ones this morning, they're bitching and moaning about losing the cell phone towers.
	No, I hadn't heard that one.
	I'd only heard about electricity.
	Oh, I actually have a clip.
	Go on.
	And that's going to cost money.
	Money.
	What's the cost of having it all blow down?
	And there we are.
	Yeah.
	We'll talk about the cost of natural disasters in just a little bit.
	But I want to stick now with the hurricane here.
	Because, Sam, it's more worrisome because it's so...
	Populated along the East Coast.
	All right, now let's get into the global warming thing.
	Talk about the things now that people find highly controversial when we're talking about...
	It's highly controversial.
	I'm done.
	Lemon.
	...about climate change.
	First a bill.
	Have there been stronger hurricanes lately, you believe?
	Is climate change behind this?
	Well, you know, I accept all the evidence for climate change and more violent storms are part of that.
	I mean, hurricanes have this unique thing where it is possible, under certain climate models, where the hurricane kind of gets, how to say, decapitated, that the top gets knocked off and it would actually get somewhat weaker.
	Now, these are mathematical models.
	But notice everybody, all the floods and the other extreme storms that we've had this year, and just a very, very hot summer.
	Now these are not, in themselves, proof of climate change, but they are absolutely consistent with all the predictions of climate change models.
	Well, let's go to Sam Champion, the guy who was so right about this storm.
	So, and I remind everybody, the United States is unique in this.
	this there's no other developed world country that isn't very concerned about climate change so uh stronger hurricanes stronger storms are what you would expect all right but the earthquake is a whole nother separate thing all right we'll move on from this but real quickly what do you think sam i'm on board for climate change i think again just as bill pointed out uh i can't think of another country as advanced as we are that hasn't made a policy about it uh and hasn't signed on to it let's let's the science is in
	I found that to be pretty disturbing.
	So I opened up the wiki page on...
	Climate change?
	List of New York hurricanes.
	Oh.
	And we should have this in the show notes.
	Or people just go to the wiki page and type New York Hurricanes Wiki into Google.
	And if you look at the pattern, by the way, there's been pretty much a hurricane until recently, until the last few years when we're having global warming.
	Until recently, New York's had one, sometimes two hurricanes hit it almost every year.
	some walks apparently in the past Not in the present.
	And it looks to me, I would say this is a, it looks like global cooling.
	If you start looking at this list.
	Yeah.
	Of course it's global cooling.
	I think we have global cooling going on.
	We should be, I think they're trying to kill us all.
	So, Austin Goolsbee, remember him?
	Oh, yeah.
	Austin Goolsbee was one of the president's senior economic advisor.
	He is a debate team winner from his school.
	And he now apparently thinks that earthquakes, hurricanes, Arab Spring, all of this is responsible for our economic problems in the United States.
	What went wrong?
	Well, respectfully, Sean, I'd say you're mixing up the time frame there.
	In the year 2010, which is when most of the clips when the President was saying we were starting to grow again, we were growing.
	And over that 17 months, we added 2.5 million jobs.
	Now, at the beginning of this year, we get...
	Earthquakes, tsunamis, revolutions in the Middle East, European financial crises.
	Now they've even got earthquakes outside of Washington, D.C. I mean, we've had a series of things that have put some heavy blows and slowed the economy back down again.
	What is he talking?
	What heavy blow did that earthquake cause?
	It knocked over a statue on a church and a few bricks fell off a building.
	Yeah.
	It's tsunamis.
	It's Arab Spring.
	It's earthquakes in D.C. That's why we have no jobs.
	That is such bull crap.
	I mean, how many jobs were lost because of that earthquake?
	It's all too funny.
	It's just the excuse making that this administration does non-stop.
	John, I think it looks like the economy is going to be hurt severely.
	I think it's just no good.
	We're not going to make it.
	We're not going to make it.
	Oh my God, an earthquake!
	There you go.
	I did production for the show.
	I can tell.
	I hope we don't have too much of this.
	No, no, I just had to do it once or twice.
	Well, now I'm going to have to do it.
	Wait, do you want to do it?
	No, no, no.
	I'm not saying I'll do my own thing in the future.
	No, I want to report.
	I want to report.
	Now going over to our special correspondent in Walla Walla, Washington, John C. DeVorek.
	John, what are you seeing out there?
	Adam, it's a terrible storm here.
	And the ducks, the ducks are flying.
	And the ducks are straight away from the storm.
	It's a bad sign, Adam.
	The water's rising.
	It's rising up to my waist.
	You know, it's just, it's the same sound effect system they use for the Arab Spring guns.
	It's just they put in different clips.
	Oh my goodness.
	Ladies and gentlemen, thank you if you've just joined this program already in progress.
	You've taken the red pill and you are now witnessing the farce that is called news in these United States of America.
	So we should probably thank some producers before we continue.
	Before we go back outside for another special report.
	Go back outside for another special report for some bonehead.
	When are they going to get over this model?
	They don't have to have these guys out there.
	Well, I think they're also trying to sell us red jackets.
	I mean, I really want to go out and buy one now.
	It does look.
	And Wolf Blitzer sitting in front of this green screen with his jacket on.
	I mean, dude, do you know you're a douchebag?
	Do you not realize that?
	You're in the studio in front of a green screen with your red jacket on.
	Please.
	And by the way, Bloomberg's had his press conference.
	He says, if you're told to evacuate, you have to, or you're breaking the law.
	Breaking the law.
	At least having people evacuate from, I guess, the...
	It was ridiculous.
	I don't even think...
	Well, anyway.
	So, meanwhile, of course, I was watching Sky.
	Yes, well, is there anything you want to...
	Did you get a clip from Sky?
	No, I think we should do our producers, and then we can go on.
	I got a couple of clips for a while.
	Groovy, groovy.
	So we do have some executive producers we want to thank for today's show, 334, including Matthew Carey, Sir Matthew Carey.
	In fact, most of our knights came up for re-election here, it seems.
	Eastwood, South Australia, I should complete my second knighthood.
	Can I request a birthday call out on show 333 to Josh Carey?
	I don't know, did we do that last year?
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did.
	Yeah, we carried it forward.
	Yeah.
	Who turns 11 years old this week.
	He gave that last week.
	Yeah.
	David Hoffman, Sir David Hoffman of Enola, Pennsylvania, 334.
	He's a member of the 334 Club.
	Wait a minute.
	We have two members of the 334 Club.
	And the other one is Baron von Pelsmacher from Belgium saying the following.
	Seeing how donations usually drop off to virtually none following a big donation drive, I should have a good chance to be the sole member of the 334 Club.
	He came very close, but actually I'm very happy that he's sharing that with Sir David Hoffman.
	Yeah, he got two knights.
	Yeah, the baron and the knight.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	Thank you.
	These guys understand how it works.
	It's absolutely true.
	It falls off.
	In fact, we have no associate executive producers this week.
	Jake Rock, East Kilbride, South Lank.
	Lenarkshire.
	Really?
	Jake Rock in the morning.
	Again, John and Adam, the donation for 3333 is payment in advance for helping me fix the mistake of inadvertently using my real name in show 300.
	In return for replacing my name with my alias Jake Rock in the show notes for episode 300, I give you this donation.
	Alright, so I have to go back and change that on 300?
	Okay.
	Alright.
	Oh, and this donation, along with my earlier 300 Club and 333 donation, should bring me with the magic one penny of getting my knight who could really appreciate if you could help out throwing the penny.
	Well, there it is.
	Yeah, and he'll be knighted today.
	And he gave us another two.
	See, now I've got to check to make sure this may or may not have been, or this may be the earlier donation for 333.
	Because it's got a different note on it.
	So then we have Parler Haute.
	I would say Haute.
	Haute?
	Haute.
	He's from Quebec.
	Haute.
	Haute.
	Longueul.
	333.33.
	And we'll find out more about him.
	Parley says Parley.
	Parley Haute.
	Parley Haute.
	Eh, whatever.
	We'll have to deal with...
	It is advertising.
	...the Becquois, buddy.
	All right.
	Those are our executive producers.
	We have no associate executive producers for today's show, so Pelsmockers was correct.
	We've got a little drop-off here, but I do want to thank these executives for helping us out on show 334.
	And then we have, also short on PR help here, actually, I do want to call out John Gabriel Bolland II. He's actually been purchasing billboards in-game in the game Social District.
	He says a lot of people see this.
	He says about 20,000 people come through the world.
	A couple thousand will see it at least.
	And he sent me some screenshots, which look very cool.
	And he has a song out.
	You should look for this Johnny B and the Dirty Hippies called The Government.
	It's kind of like raw punk rock.
	You should listen to it.
	Johnny B and the Dirty Hippies.
	And he says it's available everywhere fine and shitty digital music is sold.
	Then the only other PR mention, warondeception.net Now forwarding to noagendashow.com.
	He also has warondeception.com, which actually seems like a pretty good domain name to have.
	Yeah, that sounds like fun.
	And weknowbullshit.com, which, okay, it's also forwarding to noagendashow.com.
	Highly appreciate that work that you have done.
	We will not receive the Guinness World Book of Records for it.
	However, it does help with, in some regard, we're sure.
	We're pretty confident of it.
	People do seem to like it.
	Everyone else out there, you can always help us by going out and doing this important thing, propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	we go out we hit people in the mouth let her rip people say it down shut up slaves john i'd like to uh just ask you a question before we uh get into uh more meat of the show here uh This is a technology question.
	You are the resident technology expert.
	Techno-expert to you.
	Yeah, techno-expert to me.
	In fact...
	You know, Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO this past week.
	A lot of people talking about it, so if you could indulge me, please.
	We'd like now to go to John C. Dvorak, who is going to give us the lowdown on Steve Jobs.
	John, why did Steve Jobs step down?
	Because the storm was splashing against his house.
	So, well, if anyone wants to get my take on this, they can read the Market Watch column that ran on Friday this week.
	Can you tell us what's in it, or is it just like a teaser?
	What it is, is that I was convinced, or I'm still convinced, that Steve hasn't really done anything there since January, and Tim Cook was sitting there as acting CEO, and Tim knows that if Steve Jobs dies or something happens, and he's acting CEO, he's out.
	So you don't think this has anything to do with his health?
	I mean, I've heard people...
	I don't think his health has changed that much.
	I think it has to do with his health, the fact that he hasn't been working since January.
	Right.
	But this move right now was done to keep Tim Cook at the company because they want him to be the CEO. Steve wants him to be the CEO. And I'm telling you, you work with boards, you know that this would happen.
	If the guy's acting CEO and Steve Jobs died, let's say...
	The first thing that happens is a board meeting, and they say, well, what are we going to do?
	Should we keep Tim Cook?
	I don't know.
	Let's look around.
	Why take a chance?
	Let's promote Al Gore.
	And they would put Al Gore or some other idiot in there as the CEO, and Tim Cook would be gone.
	The other thing is, if a guy is acting CEO, everybody's probably headhunting him.
	Say, why don't you come over to Google or come over, do this, do that.
	And so you have to make a decision.
	You can't keep a guy's acting CEO and expect him to either stick around or stay after something bad happens.
	See, I... What it's all about.
	It's about Tim Cook, not Steve Jobs.
	Really?
	Okay.
	I have a different take on this.
	And this different take came to me after I heard Bloomberg News interviewing co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, who, you know, doesn't, I don't think he talks to Jobs a lot.
	He actually kind of admits that.
	Like, you know, maybe they'll see each other at some kind of Apple event from time to time.
	But he said something very interesting about Steve Jobs.
	And I'd like you to listen to this, and I will give you my take on the real reason for Steve Jobs resigning.
	You know, wanting to build things.
	We had different wants in life in the end.
	And he did want to have a successful company.
	And he had a lot of ideas.
	He must have read some books that really were his guide in life, you know.
	And I think Atlas Shrugged might have been one of them that he knew back then.
	But they were as nice as to how to make a difference.
	Now, if you have ever read the book Atlas Shrugged, then you will know, at a certain point, CEOs of companies start disappearing, and they of course go to reboot society in Galt's Gulch.
	Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
	So he is the first one to go.
	Who's next?
	And we're keeping our eye on this developing story.
	You can't blame that.
	You can't tell me that's not a very valid theory.
	Oh, please!
	If Steve Jobs...
	It's not even a theory.
	It's bullcrap.
	You watch.
	We'll see who goes next.
	We've got these CEOs everywhere.
	They're a bit disingenuous, but they're starting to revolt.
	They're all douchebags.
	Very few of them are going to revolt about anything.
	I think that Steve Jobs is one of the few guys who is not a douchebag, and I think he's actually off to reboot society in Gulch.
	Oh, brother.
	You're supposed to save this stuff for the second half of the show.
	Wait until we get to that.
	So I'm watching Sky, and Sky is, which is a British television satellite, we got a link to a nice unauthorized feed.
	I don't think I got that link.
	Yeah, you were CC'd on the email.
	Oh, okay.
	So anyway, it comes in beautiful.
	It's HD. It's a full feed with all the ads.
	In fact, just to show you the kind of advertising, you know, we've talked about this before.
	In fact, I'll do this as a quiz.
	You can always kind of figure out who's watching some station by the advertising.
	So if you're watching a show and it's all for a bunch of male diapers or something, you figure that the audience is a little old.
	Yeah.
	So who do you think advertises on Sky?
	Let me think.
	It's either going to be Legos.
	Because they skew very, very young.
	Or Depends, perhaps?
	No, no.
	But I think it's a more interesting kind of an itchy, scratchy audience.
	Why don't you play Who Advertises on Sky?
	When Tom had head lice, I was mortified.
	Luckily, my pharmacist recommended full mark solution.
	No pesticides or nasty smells.
	It's clinically proven to kill lice in just 10 minutes.
	Killing lice couldn't be simpler or quicker.
	Full marks.
	The full mark solution.
	So, uh, does this mean hobos watch sky?
	I don't know, but they have lice.
	People with lice watching sky.
	So, anyway, the, uh...
	The other one they had, they had a house ad on Sky, which was this, let's see, play the ladyboys ad.
	You'd get a kick out of this.
	Ah, I love me some ladyboys.
	All these women were born boys.
	It's the old saying, the best looking women in Thailand aren't.
	That's a part of me, that's a part of my brain.
	Just can't believe it's here.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Welcome to the sex change capital of the world.
	Before I knew that there was a difference between little girls and little boys.
	I thought, I'm a little girl.
	If all you ever want for your children, be happily married.
	It's something she's not familiar with.
	She was an elegant girl.
	I was completely surprised.
	Join us as we lift the lid on the lives of ladyboys, Monday at 10 on Sky Living HD. Yeah, so?
	So that's the other audience.
	You have to understand that I did a documentary in Thailand, and part of the documentary was about this whole ladyboys and the sex tourism.
	And I will say that it is predominantly British tourists who go to Thailand to have sex with ladyboys.
	Well, that's because they're advertising it.
	You know what?
	They're advertising dollars or pounds are paying off right there.
	It's proof.
	It's working.
	It's working.
	Emphasis on the word pound.
	So here's the typical.
	They're still covering wall to wall.
	You watch it and it's like cricket, cricket, cricket.
	Libya, Libya, Libya.
	Cricket, Libya.
	Cricket, Libya, Libya, Libya.
	There's no anything else going on.
	Well, they don't have a hurricane.
	That's why.
	No hurricane.
	Yeah.
	At least it's not within their audience demo.
	So cold-blooded murders is like the clip to play right now.
	This is the big story going on.
	Correspondent Stuart Ramsey shows the result of a massacre, including disturbing pictures of burned bodies and skeletons.
	You may not want to watch, especially with children, but we feel it's important the evidence is seen.
	Those pictures begin 20 seconds into his report.
	Only as the rebels push into the southern heart of Gaddafi's support in Tripoli is the true picture of this regime's capability for violence becoming apparent.
	In a burnt-out warehouse, they showed us how awful it could be.
	Still smouldering, the bodies of 53 people, civilians, we are told, murdered in cold blood as the first news spread that Gaddafi's Bab al-Azizia compound was falling.
	Now, a couple of things.
	These were black Africans, and they were black before they were burned, which would mean that they were part of Gaddafi's guard and not the rebels, and many of them had their hands tied behind their back, suggesting that they were executed and then burned.
	I've seen the guy walking amongst the field of the burned bodies and then in the tunnels.
	It stinks.
	I mean literally but also figuratively.
	Yeah.
	And this guy in cold, you know, they're talking about cold blood, and meanwhile they have a bunch of people, my wife pointed this out, and like, if you're in Oakland, and there's a drive-by shooting, you can't get, the media can't get anyone to say anything.
	No.
	You know, you're just not talking, you're not going to put yourself on a TV. These Libyans that are, you know, they're obviously, many of them are just told to come on, I think a lot of them are agency people.
	They come on and they tell a long-winded story about, well, this is what's going on, that's what's going on.
	They reveal themselves.
	It doesn't make any sense in a situation like this where there's a bunch of corpses everywhere.
	I was not watching our special private feed from Sky, but I got a clip from Sky.
	I got a couple of things that just...
	Really made me chuckle.
	So this is a reporter from Sky.
	And by the way, they're all being handed out these same helmets that look kind of like Nazi war helmets.
	The British are wearing full regalia.
	Yeah, but it's almost like the Harley Davidson, if you want to be a cool dude.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's a big, thick helmet.
	Yeah, but with the ear sides that pop out, it just looks like a Nazi helmet.
	And full flak jackets and everything.
	And no markings, by the way.
	Also interesting.
	No markings.
	There's just someone handing them out to these fake reporters.
	Now, this woman is from Sky, and she's interviewing a guy who apparently has Gaddafi's hat, gold chain, and, like, his...
	Well, she'll explain what he's holding.
	And I, of course, immediately Google for Gaddafi's hat, and it's like, you know...
	Yeah, it might kind of look like it, but it's...
	It could be a souvenir.
	Yeah, we actually...
	A souvenir hat.
	Let's just listen.
	It's just funny how this guy...
	And this guy, perfect English...
	Praising God, not Allah, whatever.
	I'm next to Mr.
	Al-Windi, who has Colonel Gaddafi's hat.
	Why is it Mr.
	Al-Windi, by the way?
	He's a dude.
	On his head, Colonel Gaddafi's, I don't know what you call this, but it's a sort of, uh, a Masonic sort of, um, bushy thing.
	It's a Masonic sort of bushy thing.
	John, do you know what a bisonic sort of bushy thing is?
	A stick.
	A stick.
	...you to throw around Anna's necklace.
	Now, where have you been, El-Wendy?
	Well, I've been in the Wisterine mountains since four months ago.
	I was five...
	This guy, he sounded like he was educated in Britain.
	Four months ago... ...thingy daffy troops in Kikla and other places.
	Don't they speak French more in Libya than English?
	Or Italian.
	Yeah, why does he have a British accent?
	And parts of Libya.
	And now, this is the first day after four months from struggling against Gaddafi troops.
	And all this, so now we have 50 calibers going off in the background.
	This reporter is not flinching because A, it's a soundtrack that's added, or B, she knows it's all bullcrap.
	I'm proud for this moment that the Libyans have waited for 42 years I'm going to give this to my dad as a prisoner because he has suffered a lot from Gaddafi and Gaddafi policy.
	Tell me how you got the hat.
	Oh, I got it on eBay!
	All right.
	So, CNN, of course, not to be outdone by Sky.
	By the way, I do want to say something.
	You're right because I have watched these reports and if there's actually somebody firing a gun anywhere near one of these reporters, they do flinch.
	Yeah, but not on this one.
	As anybody would.
	Yeah, not on this one.
	She's not looking at all.
	And later, it's a longer clip, but later in the clip there's literally a salvo of 50 cal.
	She's like, what is that Masonic sticky feather thingy?
	Now, unfortunately, the live report of this woman, her name is...
	Hold on a second.
	Let me find it for you.
	It's a CNN reporter.
	And she...
	I can't find it.
	She was right there when they discovered Gaddafi's RV. Did you see this?
	No, I didn't get this one.
	He had an RV. Yes, he was on his very own...
	Hot Pockets!
	What brand?
	Well, it was American make.
	I couldn't quite tell.
	And so, when they did it live, it was funnier.
	But she then went back and did another report, which is available on CNN.com.
	The fighting around the Tripoli International Airport does continue, but rebels say they are making gains, and they point to this as evidence.
	A mobile home that they say they just captured from Gaddafi's farm, located around 15 minutes from here.
	Now, they said as they entered, they did encounter some resistance, there were some firefights, but they said they've begun to comb through this sprawling, sprawling!
	Now, first of all, Firefight?
	There's not a bullet hole in the thing.
	It's perfect.
	It looks beautiful.
	You know, what resistance?
	There's no bullet holes that are apparent in this report.
	John, how exciting is this that we found Gaddafi's RV? Let's go find some evidence.
	Farm complex, and they've brought this to show to the other rebel fighters.
	Now, it does seem to be in fairly good condition.
	There are a few boxes back here with almonds.
	Oh, almonds, almonds.
	We...
	There's a toilet that is fully functional.
	In fact, I pooped on it just minutes ago.
	It works.
	And then in the kitchen, everything seems to be packed away, but a fully equipped kitchen.
	There was water in the refrigerator as well.
	There's sheets on both beds in the bedrooms.
	Rebels were speculating that perhaps Gaddafi had spent a night here recently.
	On those sheets?
	And he pooped in the functioning toilet and drank some water from the fridge.
	There's absolutely no way to verify that at this stage.
	Then they pulled this out, your toiletries kit that contains items for men and for women.
	And in the back here, they'd earlier showed us a gas mask that they say they found.
	There's also your other basic things inside this second toilet and shower.
	And then in the back is the main...
	Living room area.
	So this goes on for three minutes.
	This is ridiculous.
	Three minutes.
	Now the thing that killed me that they didn't have in this canned report is so she's, and she speaks fluent Arabic by the way, and she's kind of hot.
	She's blonde, hot, hot, hot, hot.
	And so she's doing like, you know, this of course with a much more intense like, we're in Gaddafi's RV! And the guy comes up with a crutch.
	A crutch.
	And he says something in Arabic, and she says something back, this apparently is a crutch used by Gaddafi, which could indicate that he is injured.
	Wait a minute, but he's not, the crutch is in the RV. It's just, it's insane.
	It's just insane.
	Now the real news, of course, that happened is the...
	Oh my goodness, this guy.
	Of course we have the NTC, the National Transitional Council.
	The media minister came out and gave a report.
	Now the media minister of Libya, who by the way operates out of Washington...
	This is the guys who are going to be the new government or the temporary government of Libya.
	The guy lives in Washington.
	And listen to how they chose a fine guy to be media minister.
	We have 30,000 ton metric ton of gasoline will start to distribute it.
	Can you believe this?
	This is their media guy?
	This is the guy they show?
	This is the media guy?
	This is the media guy.
	Oh, brother.
	And at the end, of course, the most important information is handed out.
	To the public starting today.
	We have diesel fuel will be arriving after tomorrow.
	Diesel fuel?
	To support the electricity powers, which will be essential after that to not only support the city, but support also the water supply.
	What?
	Also, we are going to provide within two days fuel, the gas for cooking.
	Cooking, cooking.
	Alright, so that's all the bull crap that no one cares about.
	Now let's get to the oil refinery, shall we?
	Let's get back to the real thing this is about.
	Let's get back to the oil systems that will come back online so everybody except the Chiners can go in and get their share.
	And we are working hard to re-activate the Zawiyah refinery.
	We had a meeting last day with all Now, I guarantee you this guy is not going to be media minister for long.
	Hillary Clinton will not stand for this.
	Like, dude, get someone in there who can speak English and can communicate.
	This is not sounding good.
	No, it doesn't sound good at all.
	I have a clip from one of these reports that I thought was weird.
	Play envelopes of cash.
	Hmm...kay?
	Here we go.
	where they are shelling the absolute downtown centre to try to drive out the last of Gaddafi's forces.
	NATO bombing had opened the way to a 20-mile advance.
	In a few hours, their top commander was able to declare a local victory, the last stepping stone before CERT. Now, so we have moved almost 25 kilometers ahead.
	Bin Jawad is now under, we don't means that Qadhafi forces to make extension fire on the area.
	So, With more heavy weapons, it's essential for the rebels to keep their momentum up as they approach what they hope will be their final battle.
	A businessman arrived from Dubai to give fighters a morale boost.
	Envelopes of cash.
	Hey, hey, it's noagendashow.com.
	It's dvorak.org slash blog slash NA. So if you listen to that whole report, it's first of all, they're trying to move into Circa, Circa, whatever that little town is.
	Circa.
	And so they say that the NATO bombers bombed the crap out of the path so they could get there because they couldn't walk by themselves, I guess.
	Yes, that's it.
	So they bomb the crap out of them, and then these guys, they show up, the background is just a bunch of artillery guys just shooting in the air.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	You know, they're trying to supposedly shell.
	Why are they shelling the downtown for?
	They're killing civilians?
	I also saw a report, another one of these tight shots, and, you know, a nondescript reporter.
	And, you know, it's like, oh, that artillery you hear in the background is just people celebrating.
	You don't think it could be someone shooting at the carpet bombing?
	It's...
	This...
	Thank you, darling.
	It's so nice to see that people have actually rented Wag the Dog from Netflix.
	Because there are so many similarities.
	But it really is a PR war that is just hilarious.
	William Haig, the...
	Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, what is he called over there in Gitmo Nation East?
	Is he the Secretary of Foreign Affairs?
	Foreign Secretary.
	Yeah, that would be it.
	Who's a hummer, by the way.
	He hums.
	So, you know, Gaddafi allegedly has said, hey, you know what?
	Let's make a deal here.
	Let's transition into something.
	And this guy just says, oh, that guy's delusional.
	The guy that Tony Blair went to visit in his tent just a couple of years ago, the guy that John McCain sold weapons to, and now the guy's delusional.
	Well, I think the NTC will certainly welcome negotiations.
	They've been conducting negotiations with tribes around the city of Surt to try to bring the violence to an end.
	But, of course, to frame that, the idea of discussing a transition of power, is a bit late now.
	I referred a few days ago...
	Colonel Gaddafi making delusional statements, and this is another one of them.
	A transition of power is already taking place.
	Are you crazy?
	We're already taking over the place.
	We are in charge.
	Transitional Council Ministers are in Tripoli and in increasing control of the situation.
	We just discussed the position on international recognition.
	Yes, yes, international recognition.
	And you know what that means, John.
	I have done some research.
	The IOM is now...
	Well, there's two things.
	First of all, the UN may send in a police force.
	They're actually saying police force.
	Is this Miliband?
	No, that was William Haig.
	Haig.
	Haig.
	Yeah, Haig.
	So, coming from Ban Ki-moon, there is an urgent need to put an end to conflict.
	Restore auto-stability.
	I'll agree that if Libyan authorities request, we should be prepared to develop police capacity.
	Bearing in mind, country awash with small arms.
	Okay, bunky moon.
	So we're sending in the blue helmets.
	This is just like they did Kosovo.
	You bomb everything from the air, then you send in the UN troops.
	It's like, fractal!
	Hold on, where's my fractal jingle?
	Anyway, it's a fractal.
	But here's the big fractal.
	Everyone is now talking about the IOM going in.
	And I did some research on the intergovernmental organization known as the IOM. You can find it at IOM.int.
	And this is the International Organization for Migration.
	What these guys do is they organize the elections.
	They organize the elections in Afghanistan.
	They organize the elections in Iraq.
	Did you know that if you are an expat of, let's say, when Afghanistan had their elections, if you were an expat and you were living in America, you got to vote?
	Did you know that?
	Let's go and repeat that sentence.
	Okay.
	So first of all, the International Organization on Migration is...
	It's a United Nations organization.
	They do a lot of things, but the main thing they do is they organize elections in these countries that have risen and requested democracy.
	Okay.
	So that's what this organization does.
	Now, in Iraq, as in Afghanistan...
	When they held elections, if you were an Afghani or an Iraqi living abroad, an expat, say in Britain or in the United States, you were allowed to vote.
	That's weird.
	That doesn't sound right.
	If you're an American living in Paris and we have an election here, you're allowed to vote.
	Yeah, I know, but this is like, this is a little, this is, you know, we had people like, did they, had to dip their finger in ink when they voted in Britain?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	So this thing is, you know, the Karzai government loves them.
	It's just, it's such an easy to read script once you step back from it and you see how it works.
	And I'll wind up, and then we need to move on to Syria.
	The BBC now, I guess they finally had to catch up on our No Agenda episodes, and they finally also kind of have to admit that whole Viagra thing was bullcrap.
	Libya is a unique opportunity for propaganda because the Qaddafi regime maintained such an information vacuum.
	That is, no independent press, people afraid to talk candidly on the phone, so many street informants that it's dangerous to even talk candidly on the street or in cafes.
	In that atmosphere, there's a real opportunity for other parties to throw up their own stories.
	Anybody can say anything.
	In your piece you say that the rebels have offered their own far-fetched claims like mass rapes by loyalist troops issued tablets of Viagra?
	That is definitely one of the most lurid bits of propaganda to come out of this.
	I don't think there has ever been any evidence of systematic or mass rapes by either side in this conflict.
	And I heard those claims being repeated at very high levels by the West, and what that goes to show is that even NATO is not immune to indulging in a little bit of propaganda.
	You know, they have an uncorroborated and slightly outlandish report, but they'll grab it if it helps to drum up support at home and among the Libyan people for their cause.
	And by the way, it was Obama.
	It was the president of the International Criminal Court.
	It was Hillary Clinton.
	These people should be ashamed of themselves.
	They should come out and say, we were wrong about that.
	We can't believe we used rape as a tool to propagate an agenda of a no-fly zone which turns into carpet bombing for possible Al-Qaeda members to take over a country.
	By the way, you notice that he did make the point that the Libyan...
	Sociology was that people were afraid to talk candidly, yet we see these people on the other end of a microphone speaking fairly decent English, yakking away about this and that.
	I'd also like to thank all Libyan rebels for painting graffiti in English.
	That's very helpful for us here.
	I really appreciate that.
	English graffiti.
	And English signs, too.
	Oh, yeah.
	There was a really good one.
	This is from the Washington Post.
	I've got to read this to you.
	I guess it's the reporter caught a picture of a Libyan rebel wearing an American University t-shirt.
	The Eagle Blue Crew shirt.
	Which is like, I guess you only get if you're on the rowing team.
	And there's this picture of a Libyan rebel wearing the American University t-shirt.
	I mean, isn't the American University like the Spook University?
	No, it's one of many.
	Uh-huh.
	It's just like, wow...
	Well, you might as well.
	Every once in a while, they like to throw it in your face and see if you're paying attention.
	Just see if you're awake.
	Now, of course, we have to move on to Syria.
	And there was some Syrian news.
	You had to look hard for it because, of course, we had reporters eating poop and reporters with guys flashing their butts, which is all very entertaining.
	The United Nations Security Council had a meeting on whether to impose sanctions against Syria's leadership over the crackdown.
	The UN says more than 2,200 people have been killed in the violence.
	Wow, it's going down this number.
	I thought it was like 10,000, then 6,000.
	Buried in this report, the UN Security Council is split.
	Over whether to impose actions because the team, the first that Syria has allowed in since a deadly crackdown on protests began in March, said there was no countrywide humanitarian crisis.
	Hmm.
	That's interesting.
	The way it's being brought, you'd think there was.
	So they have put together, what do you need, John?
	First we have to, we've got to start all the fear-mongering.
	Lucifer Clinton does that.
	Then what do you need?
	You need, oh yes, you need a council.
	That's what you need.
	Because you need, you know, who's going to be the new government?
	So they have a council.
	They announced that two days ago.
	It is the Syrian National Council.
	And I could almost not find any information about any of the guys on this council, except for one, Luay Safi.
	And he has a blog.
	Of course, the council also has a blog.
	You want to take a look at the council blog?
	Yeah, where is it?
	What's the URL? Nationalcouncilofsyria.com.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, there's two of them.
	It's kind of confusing.
	It's confusing as to who...
	Here it is.
	It's the...
	I think that's the fake one.
	Like the other non-fake one.
	I can't...
	I think it's...
	Well, I got the National Council of Syria.com.
	That's not the right one, I don't think.
	It's got a United Nations link.
	Oh, yeah.
	The National Council of Syria, the UN Media.
	It's got a media link, and it's got the National Council link.
	So, this council operates from Turkey, and they first started talking about this council on July 17th.
	Who was in Turkey on July 17th?
	Probably Lucifer, wasn't she?
	That's right.
	Lucifer Clinton was there.
	So she's been in on this Syria game, of course, from day one, setting up the council.
	So there's only one guy that I can find, Luay Safi.
	L-O-U-A-Y Safi.
	He has his own website.
	And this guy is very interesting.
	Let me see.
	I think I have a clip from Luay Safi.
	And, well, this, because he also, of course, speaks on, he's been a shill for BBC, NBC, CNN for many, many years.
	Let's see where he's hanging out.
	Now, speak to our guest, Luai Safi.
	He's the chairman of the Syrian American Council, and he joins us now from Washington.
	Oh, yes, right.
	He's in Washington.
	That's where he operates from.
	These guys are all in Washington.
	It's hilarious.
	The website for the council is registered in Annapolis, Maryland.
	It's like, it's the same script all over again.
	Actually, I have that.
	Here's the clip of Lucifer with the Syrian council from the 17th.
	The Syrian opposition came to force Bashar al-Assad to step down and establish a new united body to govern Syria.
	Hundreds of Islamists and liberals held crunch talks in Istanbul.
	The main sticking point, whether to form a transition government or wait to see how the Syrian uprising unfolds.
	For now they've agreed to set up a council to represent Syrian dissidents in exile.
	U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commended the meeting of the Syrian opposition during her visit to Turkey.
	Syria's future is up to the Syrian people, but of course the efforts by the opposition to come together, to organize, to be able to articulate an agenda are an important part of political reform.
	In Syria, anti-regime protests show no signs of abating.
	Some of the largest demonstrations took place on Friday in Damascus.
	Despite the bloodshed, protesters have their eyes firmly fixed on a revolution.
	As the conference took place in Istanbul, another was planned to run in the Syrian capital.
	But this was cancelled after security forces killed 14 protesters in Damascus.
	The conference was scheduled to take place.
	Despite the deadlock, anti-regime activists are refusing to give up, with bigger protests indicating a resolution is far from sight.
	So I'm trying to find information about the other council members, and it's very difficult with these Arabic names.
	You can go to the Wikipedia Book of Knowledge, and if you go to the National Council of Syria page, there is a list of other Syrian opposition members.
	Yeah, but none of them are hot-linked.
	Yeah, no, these are all hot-linked.
	The names of those dudes?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	They're all internally hot-linked, but they're here.
	I mean, Yassin El-Haj Saleh, a Syrian writer and political...
	I'm on National Council of Syria page.
	I don't see that.
	Oh, you're not on the right page.
	Go down to list of other Syrian opposition members on that page.
	Ah, okay.
	Well, this is not it.
	This is not it, because my guy Safi doesn't even show up on this list.
	Well, he may be a minor guy.
	I don't know.
	No, he's a minor guy.
	He's the spokesperson.
	He's got a website.
	No, he's not on the list.
	This is bullcrap.
	No, no, no.
	Because if you look at the council, go back to that page.
	Go back to the National Council page.
	The names are listed underneath there.
	The names are Amit...
	Ramadan, which is like, please.
	Okay, he's not on the wiki page.
	I don't see his name on this National Council of Syria page.
	Yeah, the NationalCouncilOfSyria.com.
	You see that?
	Oh, no, no, that.
	Yeah, okay.
	I'm on the wiki page.
	So here's the press release, and you see from left to right, Ahmad Ramadan, Khaled Hassaleh, Hassan Hashimi, Lovai Safi, that's the guy that I could find, Abdul Basid Sida, Adip Shaskila, and Hassan Salabi.
	Now, I'm on the front page of the NationalCouncilOfSyria.com.
	Where are these names?
	Okay, you see the three big pictures?
	You're on National Council of...
	Oh, okay.
	Click on the link National Council.
	Duh.
	Oh, okay.
	Right.
	Well, that's a different page.
	You see this?
	You see this is from the...
	They did this press conference in Turkey.
	It's like the tea party.
	Yeah, they did it in Turkey, which is where, you know, all good Syrians go to build a council.
	And then there are the names.
	These are the guys.
	But that's not on the...
	Gee, do you think the Wikipedia could be wrong?
	It's probably more right than wrong in this case.
	Yeah.
	It's a mess.
	It's just one big mess.
	Well, then the joke of it, of course, is the New York Times, in today's paper, has a big article about how, and this, I think, is very funny, how Iran is saying, hey, you guys.
	Yeah, hey, hey, ixnay on the ebola ray.
	You're like, chill out.
	We don't want to be next.
	Yeah, they know that.
	So they're trying to get Syria to knuckle under.
	Just quit.
	Stop that, will ya?
	What was the actual quote?
	Iran called on the government in Damascus to recognize its people's legitimate, legitimate, in quotes.
	Quote, legitimate, unquote, demands on Saturday.
	Yeah, of course.
	Iran's like, oh, dude.
	We don't want the no-fly zone.
	We don't want the rebels.
	So what happens if this Syrian guy takes the hint and realizes, I mean, how dumb are these guys?
	He's got to look at the situation and say, look, I'm being targeted.
	I've got to get out of here.
	I quit.
	What if somebody does that and it puts a wrench in the work?
	Are they going to just fake the whole thing that he didn't quit?
	He's on the run?
	I mean, what are they going to do to make it so that this can happen so they can keep going to the path to Persia?
	Well, why don't we look at the script?
	The script is more unconfirmed video footage of atrocities.
	That's part one.
	Then we have, of course, Lucifer will come out and say something.
	Obama will come out and say something.
	We've kind of had that.
	Now we need the UN resolution for a no-fly zone.
	Then we go bomb the crap out of him.
	Then this guy will go out and hide in some elaborate place and then we'll go find all his riches and he was screwing all the normal people.
	For years.
	And then we take over.
	Only this time, I believe we're going to have...
	We have to take his money.
	Don't forget that.
	We've already taken his money.
	We've already done that.
	We've taken the money.
	We've got the money.
	So we're done.
	We've got everything except this time...
	So we have to...
	First we've got to...
	Our no-fly zones now consist of attack carpet bombing.
	Yeah.
	It says it right there.
	No-fly zone carpet bomb.
	But the Russians have to be on board this time.
	And this is where it gets interesting because I really, the more I think about it, the more it seems logical that the Ruskies and the Chiners are not liking each other anyway.
	But that, you know, we're just kicking the Chiners out and the Russians who have this naval base in Syria are going to be kind of on board with us.
	It just makes sense.
	We're probably going to give them the whole country.
	We don't want them.
	No, they've got no oil or anything.
	How's that for an idea?
	We take it over, give it to the Russians to run it, because they've got the island, they've got the Cyprus, they'll have the base, they can have Syria, and then we'll move on to our next target, and the Russians can do whatever they want.
	We don't care.
	You want to call the next target?
	I think it's not Lebanon, I think.
	I think Lebanon is the one we're supposed to be looking at.
	It's too soon for Iran.
	We're not ready.
	That's going to be a tough one to do.
	Can you imagine if we were in charge of this?
	Hey, John, how about Lebanon?
	Oh, man, that's going to suck.
	Hey, man, can we get some techno-exports in there?
	Like, do some Twitter stuff?
	Like, we need some Facebook pages, man.
	I'm going to call Algeria.
	Algeria?
	Really?
	Yeah.
	I don't think that was on the General Wesley Clark's path to Persia.
	It might have been, and he may have just forgotten about it by the time he told that story.
	No, because he also put, you know, this list is also in his book, by the way.
	Oh, is it?
	Yeah, Wesley Clark has a book.
	Well, we should play that clip again as a reminder.
	Let's do that, yeah.
	About ten days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon, and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld, and And Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in.
	He said, sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second.
	I said, well, you're too busy.
	He said, no, no.
	He says, we've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.
	This was on or about the 20th of September.
	I said, we're going to war with Iraq.
	Why?
	He said, I don't know.
	He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
	So I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda?
	He said, no, no.
	He says, there's nothing new that way.
	They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
	He said, I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments.
	And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries In five years, starting with Iraq and Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	Okay, I'm looking at the list.
	It's Iraq.
	I guess if you're going to count Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, which is...
	Libya.
	We already got Libya.
	We got Iraq.
	We got Libya.
	Somalia, Sudan.
	Now, the thing I... See, the reason I'm saying Algeria is because I think As a misdirection, first we've got Tunisia and Egypt.
	Those aren't even on his list.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Yemen.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And Yemen.
	Tunisia, I think, was just a mistake.
	I mean, we didn't do that.
	Well, Tunisia was the initiation point.
	Yeah, but that's why we took advantage of it.
	But Tunisia, I think, just happened.
	We took advantage of that.
	We wanted to test the operation, so we did Egypt.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that was just a beta?
	Yeah.
	I think so.
	Which is why it's all messed up now, because we didn't have no transitional national council.
	Right.
	We knew what the mistakes were, and who cares about Egypt?
	It's a big old country.
	They can take care of themselves.
	So I still think we're still working on these schemes, because Syria and Libya is a mess.
	So I really think Algeria is going to be targeted, but I could be wrong.
	Maybe they're just going to go around the horn, go to Somalia, take care of that.
	Sudan, I guess, is part of it.
	I don't know what they're going to do about Ethiopia.
	I'll let them eat cake.
	Because Ethiopia is between Sudan and Somalia, so there's just got to be something going on there, right across from Yemen, and right by your Stargate.
	Yeah, well, I'm going to stick with Algeria as a long shot.
	Okay, well, I think Lebanon, you go for Algeria.
	It doesn't really matter as long as there's some brown people in the sand that we can kill.
	I think Lebanon, I'm looking at the map and I see Lebanon as something you can just skip.
	Algeria, brown people?
	Well, I'll have the area down there.
	Good.
	So, you know, we could no-fly.
	I mean carpet bomb.
	I mean no-fly.
	Don't send us your water or blanket.
	Send us your carpet bomb.
	That's what we want.
	And now, back to real.
	I always love me a good two-to-the-head story, John.
	And, of course, this one's very interesting.
	A gentleman I've known and worked with for many years passed away just a few days ago.
	I didn't hear about it until this morning.
	Frank DiLeo died at age 63.
	You know who Frank DiLeo is?
	It rings a bell.
	Some say DeLeo, some say DeLeo.
	He was Michael Jackson's manager.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	He managed several other people.
	He actually got fired, and he was Jackson's manager again during the period when Michael Jackson was being forced into the 50 dates at the O2 Arena when he was killed, as we have not confirmed.
	And I'm like, wow!
	DeLeo was certainly...
	He was kind of like one of the old-school mafia guys from the record business.
	And if you've never seen him, you probably remember from some video or documentary somewhere, he was this kind of like big, heavy, kind of gangster-looking guy and always had a huge cigar sticking out of his face.
	Big, big cigar.
	That was DeLeo.
	And so 63 is pretty young to die.
	And it was a massive complications during some heart thing.
	Well, here's the pertinent passage from this article for his obituary.
	In January 2011, Leo revealed he was planning to write a book about his life in the music business, which would have included details about his wrangling with the executors of Jackson's estate.
	Quote, there's so much misinformation out there that I'm going to set the record straight once and for all, unquote, he said.
	Yep, that's exactly how it happens.
	No, you're not.
	You have to do what John Perkins did.
	Perkins actually wrote Confessions of an Economic Hitman and then relented from publishing it and made it clear because he was brought back into the company.
	And he went back to work and then there was some change in management came along.
	The book was already done.
	Some change in management came along and pretty much didn't fire him, but they wouldn't let him do his own thing anymore.
	Some young punks that didn't know what was going on, which is typical in a lot of these companies nowadays.
	And so he just walked and the book was put out so fast they couldn't stop him.
	So you don't go around bragging that you're going to bust everybody's chops.
	No, that's how you get killed.
	You just do it.
	Just do it.
	Just write it and do it.
	And give it to all your cis admin friends so when you get that two to the head it can be released.
	Anyway, I feel sad because I bet you the guy had some good stuff going on there.
	I bet he had a lot of interesting things.
	He had a pretty good book in the works.
	Let's not forget we had Michael Jackson's lawyer kill himself.
	Remember that?
	Yeah.
	Daisy Duke's husband?
	Barbara Bach?
	He killed himself.
	Very successful entertainment lawyer.
	Shot himself in the backyard.
	That's what he asked.
	Makes sense.
	No suicide note, but let me go shoot myself in the backyard.
	And this is very interesting.
	You had actually sent me this maybe two weeks ago.
	As we have always been tracking the Hollywood Whackers, and I think this is a very good example of it.
	This Russell Armstrong guy, this is one of the, I guess the recent ex-husband of one of the housewives of Beverly Hills who hung himself.
	Russell Armstrong?
	Last week, I think.
	Yeah.
	Well, it turns out that one of his business associates also killed himself.
	Right here in Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, how does that work?
	Maybe it was despondent.
	It says Alan Schramm, business associate and friend of the late Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, also killed himself just 24 hours after Russell was found dead.
	Hmm.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	By the way, I don't think Russell killed himself.
	I think it was self-asphyxiation.
	He was in all kinds of kinky crap.
	Because he was found hanging.
	I think it was found hanging in its way.
	It's possible, but I think something's up.
	Yeah, what's up is probably bad Russian deals.
	I did research that.
	We never talked about it, but Russell Armstrong did a deal with some Russian dissident who has like a...
	A drug clinic in Malibu.
	It's very weird.
	I mean, it's obvious that the Russian mob is running everything here in Hollywood.
	And you don't play by their game, you get killed.
	This is why Ronnie Chasen got killed.
	This guy's got, once again, this Russell Armstrong, he's got ties to the Russian mob.
	You get killed.
	Stay out of it.
	Hollywood's a dangerous business, people.
	Take my word for it.
	You wonder why people like George Lucas and other, the big money makers, don't even live anywhere near Hollywood.
	No.
	Well, they're right now, they're in the truck in Syria and in Libya.
	They're directing the show.
	Somebody is, for sure.
	I think it's Tom Hanks.
	Yeah, seriously.
	Tom Hanks is very tight with the Obamas.
	Yeah, he is.
	He's always visiting.
	Yeah, not just visiting.
	He's always showing his movies there.
	I think it's Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and of course, you know, Clooney.
	Clooney may be going for some directorial credits.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	I'd like to see some donations from Clooney.
	David Murkowski, instead, from Gastonia, North Carolina, where they got whacked by the big hurricane.
	He's probably just swimming as we speak.
	$11.11.
	Thomas Nussbaum, Sir Thomas Nussbaum, or Nussbaum, from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	Another area that was not only hurricaned, but earthquakeed.
	A number eight for neck holes.
	Great seeing Adam and Mickey again in D.C. and bumping rings again.
	I have to go.
	Irene is here.
	$111.11.
	These guys are doing these donations in real time.
	I have to go.
	Irene is here.
	I like that.
	Carnes, Queensland.
	$100.
	ITM to you.
	A listener commissioned me to make a no-agenda ring for them out of gold.
	Here's part of the proceeds.
	Cheers, David Taylor.
	That's pretty cool.
	Wait a minute, so who got that?
	Who got the...
	I don't know what you can say.
	We'll find out.
	That's pretty awesome.
	James Briscoe, Bayshore, New York, 6769.
	Greetings from Gitmo, Long Island with the LIRR down due to the storm.
	It feels high time to donate again.
	I'd like to remind you about the birthday wish for my love of my life that I asked for a 28th over a month ago with my 1,000 rupee donation.
	I hope you guys didn't forget it's for Smita.
	I'm a bit sad I missed Adam when he swung by the air.
	He used to work at the New York Merc.
	So I'm not entirely a stranger to that arena.
	Thanks for the ferries.
	And a bit disappointed you didn't go to Manhattan.
	I figure quite a few people in the city would find it interesting due to the Z100 and MTV days I've only heard about.
	You guys should try to do that, have a dinner in Manhattan with us thing, which you tried some years ago.
	We should.
	Dinner in Manhattan we have with our five listeners in New York.
	We tried a Vegas dinner and we never got enough people who were interested.
	Well, it was the timing problem.
	Most of these people that listen to our show actually work for a living.
	Well, not only that, but you know what?
	I don't want to leave anymore.
	I'm very happy staying at home, watching C-SPAN, watching NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com, collecting stuff, doing investigation.
	I don't want to go.
	I don't want to do stuff on the road.
	I hate it.
	I like being here in the command center.
	It's what I do.
	You too, John.
	As witness, that you didn't come to any of the meetups, because the hassle, because you're doing the show, and then you have a little bit of life in between.
	We don't want to do that.
	James, that was, by the way, James Briscoe in Bayshore in New York, 6769.
	Well, I think you're basically right, but you do such a great job on the road that you got out there, you were bumping around.
	I think that you should, once you get your sea legs back, I think you're going to want to go back out.
	I don't think so.
	Alex Martinez in Mississauga, Ontario.
	$60.
	I'd like to get some karma for two things I want to happen by the end of the year.
	Thank you, Uncle John.
	Okay.
	No problem.
	You've got karma.
	Uncle John.
	What are you, sugar daddy now?
	Carol.
	In Market Drayton, Shropshire, UK. I'd like to mention for my birthday on September 2nd.
	Thanks to you, it's a little harder for the government to dupe me.
	Carol Shropshire, UK. Guess what?
	You lose regardless, Carol.
	You can't win.
	You can't be duped, but they are going to come take your money.
	Joe the Dish Slave in Stockton.
	Double nickels on the dime once again from Joe the Dish Slave.
	Thanks for delivering the real news and getting the slaves thinking.
	Please fire some karma out for my mom and give a mention to my podcast, The Ozone Nightmare.
	Alright, Joe the Dish Slave's mom, bend over, here it comes.
	You've got karma.
	Tomas Strohmanger in Biberach.
	$52.99.
	This is weird.
	Because he gave $52.99 and then Mark Caudell in Alexandria, Virginia gave $52.29.
	These are codes that we don't understand.
	Thanks for the great show.
	May I get some karma?
	I'm looking for a piece of land to build on my own garden.
	Sorry.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, build your own garden.
	Absolutely.
	You might as well.
	While searching for a couple of weeks now, the properties offered so far were not the right ones.
	Hope some karma helps me find the right ones soon.
	And then Mark Coddell, 5229.
	Arthur Kessler in Acme, Alberta.
	$50.
	And let's scroll down a little bit.
	Fernando Benito in Jersey City, New Jersey.
	Congratulations for this great show!
	I've been listening to you every week since June, so here's my modest first contribution, which will hopefully earn me a dedouching, as well as a bit of karma for his birthday.
	Give him a double.
	You've been dedouched.
	You've got karma.
	Tight!
	That was good.
	That was one of your best.
	He's got a birthday as well as for the human resources out there and the waterfront bracing for Irene's arrival.
	Keep it going, guys.
	Really love what you're doing.
	And finally, Peter Totes in Sugarland, Texas.
	$50.
	So, a tad light, but thankfully we had some great support from our Knights and the Baron, so we do appreciate that.
	How do we make it clear to people that supporting the show is like the only way that the show is going to continue?
	I don't understand.
	I guess it's still just the summer months, right?
	That's it?
	Well, August is the worst month ever.
	And I think it'll pick up a little bit.
	There's a lot of people that are listening and they're still thinking, well, it's a great show, and if it goes away because I don't donate, I'll find something else to do.
	Although, I have to say, if somebody's listening to this show routinely, daily, especially if they're using it as a commuter thing, and they've got to think about what they're spending for entertainment in general, what...
	Well, our show contributes to their entertainment week.
	I think they should reconsider going to the movies and give us the money instead.
	And it truly is about five hours a week of premium entertainment that you have probably enjoyed for free for quite a while.
	And by the way...
	It's more beneficial than most entertainment.
	Yeah.
	You learn something.
	Hopefully...
	In fact, it is kind of...
	Our show is in a way...
	You talked about this in the last episode.
	It is kind of the gift that keeps on giving.
	Because you'll just sit there and then, you know, once you kind of indoctrinate the family...
	Then, you know, everyone starts laughing about stuff that you see, and of course you have the memes to throw in, you know, like the douchebag and all that stuff.
	It actually, it's good, wholesome family fun.
	Yeah, no, when we sit around watching the news, we just can't stop laughing.
	It's hilarious.
	We get to see it in a whole new light.
	Mickey threw one out the other day, which I didn't have an answer for.
	And it's kind of funny because when she gets into no agenda mode, which is happening more and more, ever since the earthquake in D.C. that we were in, which of course was a clear case of harp being used, she's totally crackpotting on me.
	And she says, why is it, because she's of course watching all this bogus Irene coverage, she says, why is it that an American, and she believes it's only in America, and that may be true, because it's usually called force majeure in other countries, why is it in America that all insurance contracts speak of an act of God?
	Well, we're contracting legal-oriented, I think, as part of it.
	But, yeah, they always do.
	In fact, we have that in our speakers' agreement when we do public speaking.
	Right, but isn't, like, if I just go nuts, isn't everything an act of God?
	Isn't God controlling everything?
	No, it has to be a disaster.
	It has to be a flood or a...
	So that's God's work.
	Rock fell down the hill.
	That's God's work.
	Your car got a flat tire and...
	But what if I don't believe in God?
	Well, they won't put that in, then.
	They'll just suffer.
	Take it out!
	Redline all that God stuff.
	No, but I thought she had a point, and I said, yeah, but it's just how we speak in legalese here.
	She said, then why not just call it force majeure, which is what every other country calls it.
	Every other country in the world in contracts, instead of act of God, says force majeure.
	Why is it still act of God?
	Why do you have act of God?
	Why don't you have force majeure?
	We don't.
	We have force majeure.
	To me, they're synonymous.
	We do it a lot.
	Most contracts don't use act of God unless it's in the force majeure.
	Dude, even when you fly in an airplane, on your ticket it says act of God.
	I've never seen it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Whatever.
	I have to give that to her.
	So this is what the show does.
	It actually, instead of watching more E! Entertainment, we sit down and we discuss things.
	And it's great.
	And we recommend people go to dvorak.org slash na noagendanation.com And by the way, No Agenda Nation has an archive Of all the shows, and you can go from show one.
	In fact, it has a copy for people out there who we were going to re-release it anyway.
	But if you want to listen to an overview of the show, show 200.5 is listed.
	Oh, really?
	It's on that?
	Oh, that's pretty cool.
	Anyway, it's an hour-long show.
	People can play it anytime they want.
	It's just an evergreen thing that we did specifically for people who donated to the 200 Club years ago.
	Anyway, so you can see the length of the show go up.
	Yes, true.
	And you can download one or two that you might do.
	I would recommend people download 200.5 if they've never heard it.
	Because it explains the history of the show and all the rest of it.
	And it's very valuable.
	And the Noagenda Nation site is quite useful.
	And you can also go to NoagendaShow.com.
	You can also go to Dvorak.org.na and ChannelDvorak.com.na to hit the donation sites.
	Dvorak.org.na Sorry about that.
	And I would like to mention that Eric just sent me, Mickey and I, a couple of t-shirts from NoagendaNation.com.
	I guess we're getting a cut if he sells that.
	Yeah.
	Actually, what seems to be selling well are the mugs.
	You know, it's interesting because he didn't send us expensive stuff like the mugs.
	It's free.
	So he sent us the T-shirts.
	He sent us the Noage in the Nation T-shirt, which I just honestly don't like that much.
	I don't like his flag logo.
	But the slave T-shirts?
	Those are outstanding.
	You've seen that with like the barcode and it has slave on it?
	It's got a barcode that says slave.
	Yeah, that I have to say is an outstanding product.
	It's really nice.
	So you can take a look at noagenternation.com for that.
	And please, don't send us water or blankets.
	Send us your carpet bombs.
	So just to make sure that we are not behind, make sure that we do it, it may be redundant, Matthew Carey says happy birthday to his son Josh, turning 11 this week.
	James Briscoe says happy birthday to Smita, celebrating the birthday today.
	Carol, her birthday is on the 2nd of September, one day before mine.
	And Fernando Benito celebrates happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	Yes!
	And we have one knighting, and we just dropped the extra penny there for a second, because he came within one penny of the extra...
	Did you sharpen your sword today, John?
	I always keep my sword to the ready.
	It looks a little dull, actually.
	Well...
	Take rock, step forward, kneel!
	Extend your ring finger, or anyone you desire.
	Thank you very much for your donation and support of the No Agenda podcast.
	The best podcast in the world, said by many.
	You came to $999.99.
	We drop in the extra penny.
	I hereby knight thee!
	Sir Jake Rock!
	Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Your booze and hot pants are over here if you choose.
	We've got hookers and blow, and of course your rent boys and chardonnay if you swing that way.
	Hey!
	It made another rhyme.
	Thank you very much, Jake.
	That is really appreciated.
	And everyone else can become a Knight of the Noah Jenner Roundtable.
	Actually, I was in Vegas Friday to Saturday.
	My daughter's 21st birthday.
	I had a tremendous amount of fun.
	A couple of her other 21-plus-year-old friends came up.
	I think Molly Wood was there too, by the way.
	Molly came to the party.
	We all stayed in one room Friday to Saturday night.
	And a couple things I learned.
	One, Molly Wood would be perfect to take over either of our spots.
	We're safe, John.
	She used to be a left-wing nut.
	No, no, no, no.
	Well, that's not true.
	And it's even better because, let's say I go before you do, then it could be, it's buzzkill and wood in the morning.
	I just wanted to use that joke.
	Actually, she came up with it.
	And the other thing I learned is, it is pretty funny when you wake up in the morning and there's like eight guys sprawled all over, sleeping off their hangovers in Vegas.
	It keeps you young to see that.
	Yeah, very much like the hangover movie.
	We didn't have the hangover suite.
	We had a nice one.
	Nikki had definitely, she'd scammed somehow.
	She'd done some good stuff.
	But it was great.
	And I guess now, officially, I'm no longer responsible.
	Isn't that how it works?
	Yeah, right.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
	Yeah.
	So, I had to...
	Unfortunately, I don't have the times up here, so I had to go to the website.
	They didn't deliver?
	Oh, you're up in Washington, right.
	Yeah, I'm in Washington.
	I don't have the times up here.
	So they have the basic stories, the hurricane stories, the number one story.
	But I think the only interesting story on today's front page, besides the fact that Oklahoma City's got some twin tower clone that they're worried about somebody bombing, which is crap.
	CIA drones said to kill CADA again.
	Yeah, I keep seeing this, and it's just not the New York Times.
	Everyone's not using CADA. Well, that's because the New York Times started using it, and so they have to do what the New York Times does.
	Oh, of course.
	Oh, that makes sense.
	So, CADA. CADA. CADA for the Chinas.
	CADA. Some bozo we've never heard of.
	Yeah, this is a guy.
	I've never even heard of this guy.
	Now he's gone.
	What happened?
	Like...
	I read this report...
	I think this article is code for something.
	I'm not sure what it is.
	What I understood is they're basically saying...
	How do they know this guy's number two?
	You've never heard of him.
	Well, they just look at the website.
	Isn't there like a CEO investor relations website?
	Well, maybe.
	I haven't seen this guy.
	Maybe he's on the board of advisors.
	Here's what the CNBC said.
	The killing of Kata's number two leader deprives the group of a multi-talented manager...
	Who helped spawn offshoots around the world and survive a U.S. counter-terrorism campaign in Pakistan.
	This guy was a manager.
	They should have made him a VP. Give him a new business card.
	It doesn't even look right.
	So, maybe it was some...
	Maybe...
	Oh, okay.
	I'm almost thinking that this guy's...
	You know, this is a creative person.
	It was a graphic designer?
	No, I mean, I think he was like, this could be a composite photo for all we know.
	Right.
	Well, he was a multi-talented manager.
	And it seems to be just some, the article seems to be more about the annoyance that the CIA is causing with the Pakistanis.
	No, they never tell the Pakistanis before they blow someone out of the wall.
	Why are they even telling us?
	Is it important to know that this guy, who we never heard of, has been killed?
	They're killing guys constantly.
	And they did it with a drone, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Another drone.
	There's something fishy about this story.
	I think it's got some...
	There's a secondary reason for this thing cropping up like this.
	Okay, keep our eye on it.
	We don't always have the answers.
	No, we actually rarely...
	We don't know anything.
	We spot the anomalies, but we don't have the answers.
	We don't really know nothing.
	So that's kind of the New York Times.
	What?
	That's it?
	Oh my goodness.
	That's like so short, John.
	One thing is all there was.
	I'd rather play a clip I picked up on C-SPAN.
	Dick Cheney's got a new book coming out.
	Yeah.
	And it's getting a lot of play in terms of...
	So I've got the independent caller on C-SPAN clip, which is...
	It's just funny.
	Okay.
	Things are okay in our neighborhood.
	Akron, Ohio.
	Mike, independent caller, good morning.
	Oh, good morning.
	Thank you for seeing me.
	Sure.
	As far as Dick Cheney is concerned, he is emblematic of the problem of the GOP. Ever since 2000, that campaign, he was elected to be George Bush's right-hand man to look for a vice president.
	I guess you looked in the mirror and thought, my gosh, that's me.
	I blame the lame street media for not seeing that as a red flag.
	As a result, Dick Cheney became the most powerful vice president in the U.S., which means, therefore, George Bush will go down in history as the most insignificant president.
	Never the greatest, never the worst, just the absolute most insignificant president.
	I would have been happy with a George Bush, John McCain to come back in 2000 with John McCain being the president instead of Dick Cheney.
	That way we could have seen George Bush as the vice president and see that he's nothing more than an empty suit as a VP under John McCain back in 2000.
	And finally, the Tea Party, the Cambria Grassroots Organization, they have two main leaders.
	One, of course, is Dick Arby.
	And the other one is Dick Cheney.
	They should be called the Dick Army Brigade or the Dick Cheney Cheerleaders.
	Pick your dick.
	Bobby, Tallahassee.
	Bobby!
	Let's move right along.
	This just once again, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to help the show, there's a couple ways you can help.
	One is support the show with your financial donations.
	That is very important.
	But...
	There are people out there who are ready for this program.
	They are primed.
	Their eyes are open.
	Their ears are open.
	You need to be calling C-SPAN during these open phone calls.
	We have very intelligent people.
	We have people who do great stuff.
	You can do jingles.
	You put together bits for us.
	You understand the clips.
	Call into these shows.
	And then while you're talking about whatever stupid topic is on, just say noagendashow.com, the best podcast in the world, in the morning.
	Douchebags!
	It makes so much sense.
	This is the best way you can help more people listening to the show.
	And they have open lines on C-SPAN all the time.
	And not that they have a big audience, but you're right.
	The audience at the C-SPAN audience is our audience.
	I'm going to do it.
	Well, maybe I just have to show but lead by example.
	Just to go in and show how it's done.
	This is nuts.
	It's so easy.
	It's so incredibly easy to get on these shows.
	And it's funny.
	And that one apparently, I don't think they have a delay on it because the guy, you know, picked your dick.
	No.
	It's like something they would have bleeped on most things.
	And they have like some goofy interns who are doing the call screening because it's so easy to get through.
	It's so easy.
	Please.
	My goodness.
	It doesn't matter what the topic is.
	People are watching.
	Our people are watching.
	And please, I really encourage you.
	Now I have another clip from this same segment, but I don't know if I, it's a long clip and I don't think you want to hear about it because it entails 9-11 conspiracies and the whole nine yards is Dick Cheney's new book because this guy accuses Cheney of being in on it in some way.
	What do you mean I don't want to hear this?
	Maybe you don't want to hear it.
	You're setting me up.
	Of course I want to hear this.
	All right.
	So this is another potential no-agenda listener calling in.
	Yeah.
	A fan of yours, no doubt.
	Let me guess.
	He goes off on why did you issue the stand-down order?
	Is that what he says?
	Yeah.
	Good.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	By the Supreme Court.
	What's the question mark at the end of that?
	Long Island, New York now.
	David, Democrat.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Paul.
	Can you pull up an article at all possible from May 7th, 2004?
	It's titled...
	It was from the New York Times.
	It was titled, Tape of Air Traffic Control.
	It was made on 9-11.
	So tell us more about the piece.
	Well, it connected Cheney to the stand-down that was made by the...
	There was a normal protocol for interception of any airliner that was hijacked.
	And...
	Mr.
	Cheney had his finger on the button that morning, and for some strange reason, well, I think I know the reason, he had placed a stand-down order on any form of interception of those aircraft.
	But the tape of the controllers involved on that morning We're destroyed about four or five months later.
	And, you know, this was a heinous crime committed against the United States on 9-11.
	And to destroy evidence leads one to question why those videotapes were destroyed.
	And it was of the involved air traffic controllers on that morning.
	Prior to Dick Cheney coming to the Vice Presidency, he had been under investigation for accounting fraud involved, I believe it was connected to the Arthur Anderson scandal.
	And what was revealed was that Halliburton was in the red and his stock shares were...
	Wait a minute, is Cheney sitting there listening to this?
	No, no.
	This is just open...
	Oh, okay.
	I wish!
	Yeah!
	So, wait a minute.
	What is the C-SPAN host supposed to do?
	What is he like?
	He's an expert?
	He's supposed to answer this?
	No, that's the joke of they're just taking calls.
	That's why people should be calling in.
	They're just taking calls and they go from one call to the next.
	This is just like, hey, how you doing?
	Call me and just say something?
	Yeah, we're talking about the Dick Cheney, the new Dick Cheney book, and so I'm calling in with a comment about the Dick Cheney book.
	Okay.
	So I'm going to use the bat signal next time they have...
	When do they do these open phones?
	When do they do this?
	All the time.
	Yeah, but it's got to be scheduled.
	Especially on the weekend, and especially while Congress is out.
	This is crazy that we're not all over this.
	Let me see.
	C-SPAN open phones.
	It must be scheduled.
	I know it's in the morning.
	I guess they...
	Yeah, open phones.
	Doesn't tell you when it's on.
	They just do it whenever they feel like it?
	Oh, how often does C-SPAN do open phones?
	Okay, here's a Yahoo question.
	Uh...
	Yahoo?
	Yeah, you suck.
	Oh, they just do it whenever, apparently.
	Whenever they've got no programming.
	I think it's when they go flat on their programming, something, you know, somebody didn't show up, or the meeting was canceled, or something like that, and they don't have anything to do.
	So my recommendation is call in on the Democrat line.
	I think you should always call the, don't call the Independent or the Republican line, because they know that you're going to be nuts.
	Seriously, just call the...
	Yeah, but this guy is nuts and he called in on the demo.
	That's what I'm saying!
	That's what's so good about it.
	And just do this all the time.
	Just propagate all these memes.
	Okay, let's help our listeners, John.
	What should people call in and harp about this week on open phones on C-SPAN? What should we do?
	What should we pick?
	C-SPAN calls the theme.
	It doesn't matter.
	I think we should harp on the fake hurricane, the fact that this thing was overblown.
	No, that's not good enough.
	Let's do something really good.
	How about the Stargate?
	Have people call and say, hey, do you know about the Stargate that's opening up?
	You just wanted to call in with the crazy idea.
	Yeah, in the Gulf of Aden.
	How about harp?
	Just go and talk about HAARP. Here's a topic you can talk about.
	Now, just we'll back up for one second, and I actually put it in the show notes again, 334.nashownotes.com.
	This is where you can find testimony from Secretary of Defense William Cohen, who said that other countries have machinery where they can make hurricanes, earthquakes, and by golly, the U.S. should investigate in that as well.
	The Lugar...
	This is what part of the Lugar Something Treaty Act was invoked because of this.
	We're supposed to make money available for our own earthquake machines.
	The thesis is that HAARP, H-A-A-R-P, is doing this.
	And I believe that we are in a war with China.
	And China has flipped it.
	By the way, Albany got a 2.9 earthquake this morning.
	A big deal.
	But of course, we're not leaving China alone.
	Dozens of people spotted this unidentified glowing object above Shanghai and Beijing, China at the same time.
	A pilot flying from Shanghai says the huge cloud grew in size and ended up looking about 100 times larger than the moon.
	Some believe that this could be a fragment of a satellite launched by Russia two days earlier.
	You should go see this thing.
	It's great.
	It's huge.
	I'm predicting an earthquake in China.
	We're definitely heating up the ionosphere over those guys.
	You've got to see this thing, John.
	It's beautiful.
	It's huge.
	A huge bubble.
	It's in the show notes.
	I'll go check it out.
	Of course it is.
	Now, of course, when you're a talking head on the news, you've got to make fun of it.
	Look at that.
	What do you think, Walter?
	It looks like fog, maybe.
	What do you think?
	Fog, definitely.
	We'll go with that.
	It's Harp!
	You there?
	Yeah, I'm here.
	Alright, so let's see.
	The Russians lost...
	So first they lost their...
	What did they lose?
	They lost a rocket.
	Now they lost their...
	Their freighter.
	They're supposed to resupply the International Space Station.
	So they're losing stuff left and right.
	Are the Chiners shooting that out of the sky as well?
	I don't know.
	We may be shooting it out of the sky so we can reinitialize with some rationale the NASA program.
	I don't know, but this is the M-12M space freighter carrying food and other items to the International Space Station fell in South Siberia's Altai Republic after failing to separate from its Soyuz-U carrier rocket.
	The first loss of a progress freighter in the history of Russia's space industry.
	In the history.
	In the history.
	Mr.
	Adam Curry!
	Hold up the door, Mr.
	Curry!
	Now!
	I gotta back off.
	So, let's see what the London papers have to say.
	Okay.
	London papers have to say this.
	The Sunday Telegraph says that abortion laws are set to be tightened by the government in the biggest shake-up in a generation.
	And it also has a story of a report which is going to clear the army of systematically torturing civilians immediately.
	This is an investigation into the death in 2003 of Baha Musa, a Basra hotel worker, but it will criticize soldiers for closing ranks.
	The Mail on Sunday says that red traffic lights will automatically turn green to speed chauffeur-driven dignitries along special VIP lanes during the London Olympics, while millions of ordinary motorists will face gridlock during the Games.
	And we'll have more on the paper.
	I read this article, and I'm like, is that great?
	Isn't that just awesome?
	It's like they've literally created this, and the buses have this in many countries, where the driver can hit a button.
	It's called the VTAC system.
	And it will then, it's basically a big magnet, or that's how it used to work.
	And then it flips a switch, and then it essentially turns your light to green.
	Now, I've driven, in London traffic, it is the suckiest vehicle.
	Most absolute horrible traffic you can imagine.
	And now they're going to have these elitist pricks whizzing by?
	It's unbelievable!
	You people, you should be placing IEDs along this route.
	So, yeah.
	Well, anyway, so in this report, the one that you kind of let slide, which is the one where they...
	And you think about this, think about the logic of this.
	They've absolved soldiers from systematic torture in Iraq.
	Yeah, I heard it.
	And?
	But along with that, they said, but they got mad, or they didn't absolve them of closing ranks, meaning the soldiers were trying to cover up the crime that didn't happen.
	Maybe you should listen to it again.
	Because, yeah, I was focused completely on the elitist pricks.
	Let's listen to it again.
	In the wake of the recent riots.
	Let me hear it.
	The Sunday Telegraph says that abortion laws are set to be tightened by the government in the biggest shake-up in a generation.
	And it also has a story of a report which is going to clear the army of systematically torturing civilians in Iraq.
	This is an investigation into the death in 2003 of Baha Musa, a Basra hotel worker, but it will criticize soldiers for closing ranks.
	Wow.
	So how does that make any sense?
	The soldiers closing ranks were probably saying they didn't do anything wrong.
	They didn't do it, right.
	And so then they found they didn't do anything wrong.
	So how is that closing ranks?
	It's just telling the truth.
	The fact of the matter is they were closing ranks and there's a cover-up.
	They blew it by saying, okay, well, nobody's going to get it, but you guys shouldn't do that again, whatever it was.
	I mean, this is typical bull crap.
	What wasn't mentioned in this report is Home Secretary, I guess that's kind of the Gitmo Nation East equivalent of Lucy Napolitano, Theresa May, has banned all marches in East London and four neighboring boroughs in the capital for a 30-day period.
	Following requests from the Scotland Yard Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin.
	So you are not allowed to protest in Britain anymore.
	No marches.
	You cannot protest.
	Do they have any Bill of Rights there?
	No.
	They don't have the Magna Carta?
	Doesn't that count for something over there?
	Apparently not.
	And now, according to the latest news out of this place, Cameron is still going on with this, by the way, and getting a flack for it, saying we should have ways to shut down the tweeter.
	Yeah, of course we should.
	And the Facebook's got to go.
	And the BBMs.
	It's all got to stop.
	Meanwhile, back home, I spent my time wisely and watched our address from our president.
	You know, he always does this radio address on the YouTubes.
	And what is 9-11?
	What are we supposed to do on 9-11?
	What kind of day is that, John?
	Dunker down.
	Is that a...
	Unquote.
	Unquote.
	Isn't 9-11, shouldn't we be...
	If you were president, what would you associate with 9-11?
	Would I associate with 9-11?
	Yeah, what would you tell your people to do?
	An attack by a bunch of crackpot Muslim terrorists.
	Yeah, but would you say, let's remember, or...
	I would say we should remember those who lost their lives on 9-11, yes.
	Do we have any kind of other call to action?
	We should probably thank the first responders and things like that.
	I'm not sure.
	Well, let's check in with the President and see what he has to say.
	This September 11th, Michelle and I will join the commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville, and at the Pentagon.
	But even if you can't be in New York, Pennsylvania, or Virginia, every American can be part of this anniversary.
	Once again, 9-11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
	Oh, okay.
	National Day of Service.
	What?
	It's a National...
	It's a national day of service.
	Service, you know.
	Like, serve.
	Like what?
	How about getting us some jobs?
	No, you have to serve us.
	Listen.
	Folks across the country in all 50 states will come together in their communities and neighborhoods to honor the victims of 9-11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.
	In Minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center.
	In Winston-Salem, North Carolina they'll hammer shingles and lay floors to give a family a new home.
	In Tallahassee, Florida they'll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home.
	In Orange County, California, they'll renovate homes for our veterans.
	And once again, Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.
	And you can go to serve.gov to get all the information.
	What is this, a home improvement show?
	What are we talking about here?
	They're going to be fixing up some guys' houses.
	It sounds like that makeover show on ABC. Yeah.
	No, it's serve.gov.
	If you watch the entire speech, he promotes serve.gov.
	And lindo.gov, I think it is.
	I think it's lindo.
	Is it lindo?
	Lindo?
	Yeah.
	What the hell's lindo?
	No, it's not lindo.
	It's lingo.
	What's serve in Spanish?
	I don't know.
	I forgot it now.
	I think it was...
	Those tacos, El Pastor.
	That's all I know.
	Go to Taco Bell.
	Hold on, let me see.
	Serve.gov.
	Come on.
	It's...
	En Español.
	Here it is.
	Servir.
	No, it was crazy.
	There was another word for it.
	Now it's making me mad.
	It was like lingo, lindo.
	It was something weird.
	I'll have to look it up.
	But yeah, please obey and please serve.
	I don't understand.
	I think 9-11 should be a day.
	Didn't we talk about this?
	Didn't this happen in the past?
	I kind of remember this.
	That we were like, why do we have to volunteer and stuff?
	It's weird.
	Well, I mean, out of the blue.
	I think it's because they keep people busy, otherwise they're going to be rioting in the streets.
	And service, by the way, is a code word for many religions.
	You know, service, serve the Lord, service, service, service.
	Right.
	Which makes no sense coming from Obama.
	I don't know.
	The antidote to summer learning laws, reading and outdoor play.
	I'm looking at this crap on this website.
	This is another $18 million website.
	I keep thinking $8 million.
	I can't imagine these things costing $18 million, a bunch of cheap templates using Drupal.
	United we serve.
	The President is calling on all Americans to participate in our nation's recovery and renewal.
	Renewal.
	By serving in our communities, there are many ways to get involved.
	America's new foundation will be built one community at a time, and it starts with you.
	What new foundation?
	Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	Remember those big television towers that caught fire and fell over and basically took out all the television and radio for a week?
	Classic.
	Yeah.
	So the owners of the tower, Novec, they know the cause of the fire, but they are going to temporarily keep this a secret, according to all the Why are the Dutch slaves not revolting against this?
	Yeah, we know what it is, but we're not going to tell you right now.
	Wow.
	That doesn't seem right.
	No, and what difference does it make?
	Well, there must be some security reason or something.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, but what could it possibly be?
	Terrorists?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	It could be.
	Terrorists in this country.
	They go on and on and on about it.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	And this was the weirdest thing that came out.
	Wait a minute.
	What if it was like maybe a strike from a flying saucer and they don't want to alarm the public?
	Please, do not be alarmed.
	So this was news in my world about this 2004 declassified document which surfaced, which is from the director of the CIA. This document marked confidential,
	dated March 3, 1964, which basically states that Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy's supposed assassin, was trained by the CIA. Huh.
	Yeah, see, that's the problem.
	This is exactly the problem.
	Everyone goes like, huh.
	So, you know, why wouldn't several other of these lone wolf assassins be trained by the CIA? Why wouldn't 9-11 hijackers be trained by the CIA? We don't have to wait until we're 80 years old to find out that we were right?
	Yeah, Oswald's subject was trained by the agency under cover of this office, of the Office of Naval Intelligence for Soviet Assignments.
	So, shouldn't we, like, reopen that discussion?
	Yeah, I think we should do that tomorrow.
	You know what I mean, though.
	Seriously.
	That's weird.
	Well, yeah, you should, but what Ron Paul said in that clip, which is the CIA took over the place after Kennedy's assassination, and they took over the place for whatever reason, good or bad, we don't know, because we don't know anything, uh...
	How far do you think that reinvestigation is going to last?
	How far are you going to get with that, do you think?
	You're right.
	Not very far.
	All right.
	Let me ask you a question.
	By the way, what's the deal with...
	There's a book...
	There's a big scandal.
	This was in the Times.
	There's some guy who's written...
	Some ex-FBI guy that was in charge of some 9-11 aspect.
	And he's written this book.
	That's just extremely critical of the fact that the CIA didn't share any information about the 9-11 deal, and they're redacting.
	I saw that, yeah.
	I saw that.
	And they're redacting all kinds of weird shit, like you can't use the word station.
	Really?
	But isn't that kind of a common known word for the CIA office, his station?
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	No, I can't use that word.
	It's classified.
	Right.
	Well, you know, my Uncle Don is writing his book, and he's had it cleared by the agency, and he had to pull stuff out, too.
	Which I'm not allowed to tell you about.
	But I told him, Don, just...
	Thanks for the tease.
	Yeah, don't worry.
	It's like, just write the book, dude.
	Just write the whole thing.
	Write it perfectly.
	And it's very interesting.
	He's struggling with the whole October surprise thing because he was basically accused of being complicit in that.
	He said, why don't you try the truth?
	He says, I like where you're going with that.
	Truth?
	What?
	What are you crazy?
	You're a crazy man.
	Get that RV off my lawn, you.
	Alright, from your neck of the woods, John, please investigate this story for me.
	Welcome back, everybody.
	Okay, stop what you're doing, because this is amazing!
	Amazing!
	Orcas, like 20 of them, swimming near Maury Island in just the past hour.
	Sky King took these incredible pictures, and they're swimming in very shallow water.
	So we had to pull our environmental specialist from what he was doing to talk about this.
	Gary Chittim's here.
	Did you see this?
	These orcas swimming there, really in the shallow water?
	There's one down the street.
	An orca?
	No, I haven't seen an orca up here forever.
	It is beautiful footage, I have to say.
	It's like 20 of them, just all swimming in the shallow water.
	I got to see that big giant orca, that one that was the biggest, I think, ever in captivity.
	The huge thing that was at Marine World years and years ago.
	This thing was so big.
	I mean, it was unbelievable.
	I've seen other orcas.
	They're all pretty, you know, like, you know, maybe five or six times bigger than a dolphin.
	This thing was the size of a full, like, 18-wheeler.
	I mean, it was huge.
	Well, all I know is that orcas respond to harp waves.
	Oh, maybe they're coming in to bust up the place.
	And there's something else going on in West Virginia.
	As we know from the previous show, animals are much smarter when disasters are about to strike.
	We know that lions stood still.
	We know that all these animals were freaking out because of the earthquake.
	What's happening now in West Virginia?
	Hello, place?
	A town in West Virginia says it's under siege by birds.
	Every night, thousands of birds take over the town of Huntington.
	No one can explain why the birds have been showing up.
	What they do know is they are loud.
	It's very hard to sleep at night because of the noise.
	Very hard.
	They say the noise isn't the worst part.
	It's what the birds leave behind.
	It's almost a non-stop job cleaning up the bird droppings.
	Bird poop.
	Everybody, bird poop.
	Hey, hold on a second.
	Isn't this the year, this summer, the year that the entire East Coast was inundated with cicadas?
	Yeah.
	Wouldn't that kind of bring a few birds out of the woodwork?
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	But West Virginia is not really the East Coast.
	Yeah, I think they have the cicada problem because it stems from Chicago all the way, the whole, everything pretty much west, east of the Mississippi.
	Well, all I know is we've had a drill for everyone moving to West Virginia.
	The East Coast seems to be under attack from hurricanes and earthquakes.
	I'm glad I'm out here on the West Coast.
	Well, maybe they're going to cut the country in half with a big crack.
	Hmm.
	Alright.
	York.org slash NAP will help us out.
	Yeah, we really do need your support, and we will continue to stay on top of all of the bull crap that is being passed off as news and try and find the stuff that's really happening for you, particularly as it pertains to the Arab Spring.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation, West of People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from the Buzzkill Bunker North.
	Northwest, actually.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will talk to you again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Where's your slide whistle?
	in California.
	Turn off your television.
	Adios, mofo.
	Dvorak.org.
