	What is this world coming to?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 9, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 381.
	This is No Agenda.
	Spending my days with Leviathan here at Camp Mofo in the capital of the Drone Star State.
	In the morning, everybody from Austin, Texas, I'm Adam Curry.
	And plain and simple from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Yes.
	Hey, Stinger.
	Nice.
	Well, hey, John.
	Hey, in the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground and feet in the air.
	You should try something new one of these days on your in the morning.
	In the morning to you, by the way.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	And in the morning to all of our...
	You should try something new.
	You should try something new.
	It's always the same thing.
	But let me say in the morning, everybody, noagentastream.com, noagentachat.net, there in the chat room.
	Sounds familiar.
	Yes, we've got all of our human resources lined up, charged up, and ready to go.
	This is what you say every time.
	I know.
	If you say something different, maybe I'll say something different.
	Oh, really?
	We should mix it up a bit.
	Go crazy.
	Did you tweet?
	Because there's no one listening.
	Well, no one listened to my tweet, then.
	Did I push the button?
	Did you actually push the button?
	Let me see.
	We've got 600 people.
	That's low.
	That is low.
	It's as well as a Thursday.
	Give people a chance.
	That's right.
	People who work for a living.
	Unlike us.
	We don't work for a living.
	My goodness, I'd almost do this show for free.
	Yeah, it says right here, noagendastream.com should be streaming the latest No Agenda.
	Oh, I see what I... Oh, you didn't press go?
	No, no, I got it here.
	I just put the hashtag in front of it so if somebody clicks on it, they're not going to really get...
	No.
	No, you didn't Twitter it right.
	It's too hard to cut and paste.
	You tweeted it wrong, man.
	Hey, by the way, Mr.
	Backpedal of the Century, I saw your tweet the other day.
	You're like, uh, I re-examined all the fractals, and I was wrong.
	Yeah, of course you're wrong.
	Did I call the guy who never watches a single game at all during the entire year, except for the Super Bowl?
	It shows you how stupid sports are.
	And I called it.
	I said, Giants are going to win.
	And then even after the show, you said to me, by the way, man, you're wrong.
	I've got all the fractals all figured out.
	I did not.
	That's exactly what you said.
	This is not only a lie, but a very poor imitation of my voice.
	I'll give you the poor imitation.
	But you actually did, you said, before we hung up, you said...
	By the way, you're wrong on that.
	Yes, you did.
	Oh, you lied.
	You lied.
	You're a horrible man.
	This is some sort of dream you had.
	No, no, no, no.
	Or a vivid dream.
	I can't believe you're doing this.
	After the show, we did a little deconstruction of the show, and then you went on your way.
	I don't remember talking about this.
	No, we didn't.
	You said, oh, by the way, before you...
	I said, okay, I'm done.
	You said, yeah, oh, by the way, you're totally wrong on the Giants thing.
	That's exactly what you said.
	But not even on the air, but off the air, the five minutes we talked privately, you still had to reiterate that I was going to be wrong.
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	So what happened with your fractal theory?
	Where did that go wrong?
	Here's what happened.
	Because I subscribed to the fractal theory, and I was like, wow.
	The fractal theory was fine, except when I really started looking at it, I had these fractals.
	I just basically made them up.
	There weren't any real fractals here.
	For one thing, Eli Manning's got no relationship to his brother.
	You had this whole thing.
	Let me give you the fractals.
	And I said that Brady needs to win four Super Bowls to match Joe Montana, but he's already won three and lost one.
	Montana never lost one, so the fractal's broken right there.
	And the other thing is, this game was the exact fractal model of the last time the two teams played, with the Giants winning in the last minute.
	So I was just wishful thinking.
	I'd created these imaginary fractals, and I was convinced that that's the way the game would go, but...
	I was wrong.
	Okay, good, because I don't give a crap about football.
	I mean, you know I don't.
	But you care about the fractals.
	Yes, of course.
	If the fractal theory is broken, then we have a much bigger problem.
	But apparently, for some reason, you made up the fractal.
	I kind of pushed the limits on the whole thing.
	Anyway, I'm glad I watched the game for a number of reasons.
	Well, it was very important because we had a very important...
	First of all, you were right about the viewership.
	It was a little lower than the 117, so if we'd done the 117 million, the under would have won because it was 111, I think.
	Right.
	The total number, which is bogus, which advertisers don't buy on that, but it doesn't matter.
	Right.
	We're 168 million.
	A trillion people are watching this telecast live!
	You watch.
	You watch during the Grammys this weekend.
	It'll be, a billion people are watching around the globe!
	They always say that bullcrap, and it's just not true.
	But it is a very important moment for the president to mind control everybody as we're all nice and sauced up.
	Which is a good time to message.
	Yeah, let's send the message.
	And you've got a lot of grease.
	You're eating sausages with a lot of grease and you're drinking a lot of alcohol.
	A lot of high fructose corn syrup.
	We should do this show after dinner.
	When people are like, yeah, man, everything they say is true.
	I know, it's alright.
	So last year, I think they had Bill O'Reilly from the Fox News Network, who was, you know, no one really, a lot of people were like, I didn't like that interview.
	And the administration, I'm sure, didn't.
	So they got the calmest pussycat of all, Matt Lauer, who I know.
	On a very, very cold day, winter's day in New York, I actually hosted a few VH1 shows.
	This is how I know the guy.
	And I hung out with him once at an airport.
	And he's not a journalist.
	Anyway, so he gets the gig to go speak with the president.
	Did you see this particular interview, John?
	No, of course not.
	Three short clips.
	Very interesting.
	Wordage.
	Words do matter.
	Listen to what the president says as Matt Lauer asks him about, of course, Israel and their imminent attack on Iran.
	It seems now the Israelis are signaling that they may act and conduct a strike inside Iran at their nuclear sites sooner than later.
	Do they have your full support for that raid?
	I don't think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do.
	I think they, like us, believe that Iran has to stand out on its nuclear weapons program.
	Did you hear the little word thing?
	Did you hear it there?
	Besides that?
	No, he said, instead of...
	What he's trying to communicate is, I don't think Israel's made a decision about what they're going to do, but that's not what he says.
	He says something else.
	Listen again.
	Say it, play it again.
	I don't think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do.
	What they need to do.
	They haven't made a decision on what they need to do.
	What they're going to do.
	What they need to do.
	What they need to do.
	I thought, words matter.
	You're right.
	Words matter.
	It's a good catch.
	Good catch.
	Now, this was kind of funny.
	So Matt Lauer tries to do a human interest in his six minutes of interview.
	Like, you know, are your kids, are they all jacked up about...
	What's the quarterback?
	Tom Brady.
	Tom Brady?
	Yeah, Tom Brady and Eli Manning were the two quarterbacks.
	Yeah, but Tom Brady's the guy who's with...
	He's got the model girlfriend.
	The supermodel, right.
	Are the Obama girls all jacked up about him?
	Are they all hot and saucy?
	Are the Obama women hot for him?
	Do they have posters on the wall?
	This is how our president handles parenthood.
	I'm going to look for a great game.
	What about the ladies in the Obama household?
	Do they feel about Tom Brady the same way ladies all around the country feel about this guy?
	I think they know he's a good-looking guy.
	There's no doubt about it.
	Is there perhaps a poster of Tom Brady somewhere in the East Wing?
	No, you know, they haven't...
	The girls, 13, 10, they're not quite of the age yet where they start putting up the pictures of guys yet.
	Justin Bieber, maybe.
	When that happens, I will...
	I may...
	Call some executive privilege and say that's not appropriate.
	Why don't you just drone him, Obama?
	What?
	Yeah, I may call some executive privilege.
	One thing, they're old enough to put up posters.
	Yeah.
	And the second thing is, who's he kidding?
	Yeah, but then he's like, if I see that, I may have to call some executive privilege.
	No, just drone your kids, dude.
	That's how you...
	Either drone or send in the mother-in-law who lives in the White House.
	We always forget that.
	Yeah, well, I don't forget it.
	I'm like, I never want to be president if that's part of the deal.
	It's the only time it's ever happened that I know of.
	Yeah.
	And then, of course, you are absolutely spot on.
	You called this a couple of episodes ago where you said the new campaign for Obama is we're only half done.
	We're not there yet.
	We need to go for the second half.
	We need to, you know, you can't stop us now.
	And this was the real message that the president communicated.
	Three years ago, we sat for this interview on Super Bowl Sunday.
	You had been president for just 10 days.
	Oh, by the way, so they're showing B-roll of three years ago.
	He's wearing the exact same shirt.
	And it's a very distinct shirt because it has little, you know, it's like a checked shirt.
	The exact same shirt.
	Like the guy only has one football shirt or something.
	It's his football shirt.
	Really weird.
	Lucky football shirt.
	But it's not even a good looking shirt.
	It's like, it just says, I'm a nerd.
	Anyway, it was just interesting that it was the exact same shirt.
	I mean, if I was watching that there, I'd say, hey, by the way, dude, don't you have any other wardrobe?
	It was three years ago.
	It's the same stinky shirt.
	We talked about the state of the economy, which was in dire straits.
	And you said this to me, quote, if I don't have this done in three years, then it's going to be a one-term proposition.
	You got good news on Friday in terms of jobs.
	The unemployment rate went down to 8.3%.
	But I think if you go out on the street and you ask average Americans, is the recovery done?
	Overwhelmingly, they will tell you it is not.
	So do you deserve a second term?
	I deserve a second term, but we're not done.
	Look, when you and I sat down, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month.
	In fact, we had found out just a few days before we sat down that we had lost that month 750,000 jobs.
	Now we're creating 250,000.
	We've created 3.7 million jobs over the last 23 months.
	We've created the most jobs since 2005, the most manufacturing jobs since...
	And by the way, wasn't it saved or created...
	They dropped that meme up here.
	What happened to all that?
	It's saved or created?
	Now it's just created, not even saved.
	1990.
	But we're not finished.
	And we've got to not only...
	We're not finished.
	...boost up American manufacturing, so that not just the auto industry, but all American manufacturing is building again and selling overseas.
	We've got to make sure that we're pushing American energy, and that includes not just oil and gas, but clean energy.
	We've got to make sure that the skills of American workers are the best in the world, and we're making progress on that front.
	And we've got to return to old-fashioned American values.
	Now, before he says this, so first of all, you don't deserve a second term in the United States.
	You can get elected and you can be asked.
	You don't deserve it.
	There's no deserving.
	I'm sorry.
	Personally, I found that to be offensive.
	I deserve this.
	I deserve it.
	Look what I've done.
	And now, John, what would you say are the old-fashioned American values?
	I mean, this is not an ageist thing, but I think that I can only go back so far.
	You go back further.
	I go back to the turn of the previous century.
	What are the...
	Just getting by.
	Oh, no, wait.
	That's the new...
	That's the American dream.
	I'm talking about the American values.
	Oh, the American values?
	And this is a meme that is continuing.
	This is another sort...
	Honestly, hard work.
	Get you ahead.
	You make as much money as you want to in this country.
	There's nothing holding you back.
	Everybody getting a fair shot.
	Everybody doing their fair share.
	Everybody playing by the same rules.
	And there you go.
	It's everybody getting a fair shot.
	Everybody doing their fair share and everybody playing by the rules.
	Yeah, this is not American values.
	Fair shot?
	Okay, I'll give you that one.
	Everybody gets their fair share, but it's not like, hey, hey, hey, you.
	Hey, citizen.
	It's your shot.
	Okay, make it count.
	You know, everyone does their fair share.
	I don't know.
	This just doesn't sound to me like...
	The fair share thing has bugged me.
	Yeah, it doesn't sound like a...
	By whose standards?
	Who is saying what a fair share is?
	The government.
	Well, let's listen to it again.
	Fair shot.
	Everybody doing their fair share.
	Everybody playing by the same rules.
	And that means, for example, regulations to make sure that Wall Street is following the same rules that Main Street's doing.
	But we've made progress.
	Rules for Wall Street aren't the same as the rules for Main Street.
	They have rules against crossing a red light.
	What's that going to do with Wall Street?
	Are they going to put a rule in for Wall Street that you can't do?
	You can't cross Wall Street.
	Why would they have a rule like that?
	How would they have the same rules?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	I think you pointed out exactly.
	If you want to cross Wall Street on a red light, that's illegal.
	And if you want to cross Main Street on a red light, that's also illegal.
	Those are the only rules that are similar.
	The whole thing was very bothersome.
	And of course, a total setup with Clint Eastwood and his halftime in America.
	I mean, you pointed out specifically the commercial where you have the guy with his big afro and they cut off half the hair.
	I'm like, oh, this is no good.
	You don't want to have Bobby walking around with half an afro.
	Although, by the way, I think that is kind of a cool look.
	It was very cool.
	Yeah, they should go with that.
	I think Nicki Minaj should try that out.
	I thought that was kind of cool.
	So then they employ Clint Eastwood to do, and I only took half of the commercial, it was so long.
	It's halftime.
	Halftime.
	Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half.
	It's halftime in America, too.
	I mean, isn't that a clear analogy to the halftime for the Obama array?
	I think Clint Eastwood was suckered into this commercial because he is a Republican libertarian, and I don't think he knew what he was doing.
	I think he did it because he thought it was like, he probably, as the meta, he probably thought this was a cool idea, and he bought into it.
	But he doesn't, since he doesn't listen to our show...
	He doesn't realize that there is a meme underway, this half-done meme that Obama's people are pushing, and he doesn't know that it even exists.
	I say most people don't know it exists.
	And so he got suckered into doing this idiotic commercial for charity or something.
	I think he looked at the original script and went like, what is this, half-row?
	I don't understand the half-row.
	Let's just say half-time.
	Because that would have been better.
	Half-row.
	It's half-row in America.
	That's what we're going to call it.
	Afro.
	It's kind of racist, though.
	But I didn't come up with a whole commercial.
	It's an afro in that commercial, right?
	Yeah, or something.
	Or it's just a haircut.
	I don't remember.
	That was weeks and weeks ago.
	But it was idiotic.
	This whole halftime in America.
	We can't stop now.
	We can't change course.
	Never change a winning team.
	Everyone gets their fair shot, do their fair share, and play by the same rules.
	Why do you laugh?
	Because the way you roll it out is actually quite funny.
	But it's the same words, it's just saying it a little differently.
	It's not all that much difference.
	Anywho.
	Well, I thought overall it was...
	You know, I've actually DVR'd the game and sped watched it going past the commercials.
	Yeah, I know.
	I've decided that this is a bullcrap scam that's been played on the public.
	Oh, you've got to watch the Super Bowl because the commercials are so great.
	So people actually tell you that, oh, yes, I sat down and watched all the commercials so I could talk about them around the water cooler.
	Well, it turns out there's nothing to talk about, A... And B, how do you get suckered, believe me, suckered into watching commercials per se?
	It's beautiful.
	It's idiotic.
	So I decided, screw it, I am not going to watch any of the Super Bowl commercials.
	And I did catch a couple, while going fast forward, I saw a couple of compelling commercials I had to watch.
	Yeah, you don't have to mention them.
	I don't care.
	Yeah, well, the one with the flying saucer.
	Yeah, but you mentioned them all on the Horowitz show.
	I heard that.
	I heard it all.
	Yeah, well, I only balled two.
	I saw two.
	Anyway, so...
	So you got suckered.
	You got suckered into it, too.
	We're done.
	We're done.
	We're done with the Super Bowl.
	I mean, because I think the real, the breaking news, I mean, the news that they were just playing everywhere, everywhere you turned, every news or every single network played this over and over and over again.
	Right?
	You know what I'm talking about.
	Assyria?
	No.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That's what I'm seeing.
	What are you talking about?
	I don't know.
	I actually didn't see this anywhere except on Democracy Now!, but I assumed that every network would be playing this because it's one of the biggest deals we've ever gone through in our country's history.
	The longest embargo last week was the 50th anniversary of the Cuban embargo.
	The longest embargo in the history of the world.
	That It had to be on all the networks.
	Did we have a firework display?
	I don't know, but I do have the one clip from Democracy Now!, which I know they talked about it.
	Up until the Cuban Revolution that overthrew the U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.
	Not long after, the U.S. responded with sanctions to punish Cuba's revolutionary government.
	Well, there are no commemorations planned in Washington, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. embargo.
	No commemorations?
	We didn't have a ticker tape parade?
	What?
	What is wrong with us?
	Did you actually say commemorations?
	Yeah.
	Well, there are no commemorations planned in Washington, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S. embargo against Cuba, the longest-running embargo in the world.
	On February 7, 1962, President John F. Kennedy formally expanded the harsh regime of commercial and financial sanctions against Cuba that have continued to the present day.
	The embargo has been solidly bipartisan, notably intensifying under the Helms-Burton Act of 1996, which was passed by a Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton, a Democrat.
	The U.S. has targeted Cuba in defiance of widespread international condemnation.
	Last year, marked the 20th consecutive year, the U.N. General Assembly has voted to call for the embargo's repeal.
	The vote was 186 to 2.
	With the U.S. joined only by Israel in opposition.
	Yeah, and I think Ron Paul voted against them too, right?
	Hey, wait a minute!
	What?
	Wait, wait, hold on a second.
	I didn't listen to this.
	Are you telling me that the U.N. for the last 20 years has been bringing this up and the only two people that vote against it are the U.S.? And what has Israel got to do with it?
	A, and B, I thought whatever the UN told us to do, we did.
	I mean, we went into this Libya thing and spent millions and billions of dollars on an air cover and bombing campaign because of the UN. What am I missing here?
	Oh, well, it's interesting you bring that up.
	People who sponsored the last show with their donations and this show will be very pleased with the value they're going to get for their money.
	I have spent about three days nonstop.
	I'm seriously not kidding.
	18 hours a day.
	And I think I have figured out the big picture.
	Wait a minute.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	The really, really big picture.
	And I have a little presentation for you as well, John.
	I would think, yes.
	But let's thank our donors for this episode first, and then we'll get to that.
	Oh, that's a great idea.
	You know, we should be thanking the donors right about now as I go back and click on this button just to make sure that I do have the donors here.
	You know, it's like...
	Are you trying to fill time?
	Hello?
	You know, I was wondering, can you play the No Agenda National Anthem while I download this thing here?
	I'm sorry.
	Sure.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
	Okay, you can stop.
	No, no, we're going to sing along.
	In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be...
	Human resources and servants in all lands and all ships at sea.
	From the east to west, down on the two, the lowlands and beyond.
	We are happy and distracted slaves in our Gitmo Nation song.
	Hey, citizen.
	Can't interrupt the national anthem.
	We're like, oh, stop, that's enough.
	No, it doesn't work that way.
	You could do that.
	No, it doesn't work that way.
	Okay, we played it.
	Okay, we do have a lot of people to thank for today's show.
	Good.
	We've got two executive producers and a slew of associates, and let's start with them.
	Uh...
	Moise Khan.
	Yes, Citizen Khan.
	And he is our executive producer today with...
	380.
	380.
	And he sent me a long note of which I will paraphrase.
	This is the guy who was in Pakistan and went to see Bin Laden's compound.
	Oh, right, right.
	This is our Pakistan guy.
	Exactly.
	And he had requested some travel karma.
	And before I get to the travel karma story, he says, just a little extra note, he says, he's actually Canadian, or he lives in Canada.
	Since I've returned to Canada, I've been busy and hadn't had the opportunity to review my photos.
	However, I want you to know, I'm working on getting a photo of some Pakistani soldiers in front of Bin Laden's house holding up a shutupslaves.com sign.
	Yeah.
	How awesome would that be?
	I love the Canadians.
	Anyway, so they asked for some karma to get my family back into Canada a few episodes back.
	It says you put it on 373.
	You kind of forgot to give me karma, he says, the nerve.
	However, it turns out karma knows what's best and helped me out anyway.
	Turns out his son is on the no-fly list.
	His son is three years old.
	He has an unfortunately common name and now prompts me to change that.
	So we were checking in for our domestic flight from Toronto to Calgary.
	From Toronto to Calgary.
	Hello?
	This is an internal flight.
	The flight attendant, or whatever you call them, had to wait on hold for about half an hour.
	I asked, what's the problem?
	She said, well, you probably get this all the time.
	Normally you don't have to wait on hold.
	Sorry about this, but you're on the no-fly list.
	And, of course, he's Pakistani.
	In other words, hey, the guy looks like a terrorist.
	I better make a call.
	So he's on the no-fly list.
	And then she says, oh, actually, I'm sorry.
	It turns out your son is on the no-fly list.
	So they finally did get home.
	He says, my first day back at work was January 17th.
	I went like any slave would, especially after four weeks off.
	I received an email from a friend inviting me to come for a free lunch on January 18th.
	Warning, free lunch is always dangerous.
	And apply for a contract position at about double my current salary.
	I was dubious but thought I better attend the free lunch.
	My friend gave me more details about the position.
	I figured I had nothing to lose, so I wrote up my resume that night.
	Over the next week and a half, I had three interviews.
	My boss, also a no-agenda listener, gave me a raise.
	If the job doesn't pan out, at least I got the raise.
	Then I received an offer for the contract position the following Monday.
	So he says that his karma has worked out more than sufficiently.
	I would think.
	And hence his donation of $380 to the program for today's show.
	And you will not be disappointed, my friend.
	Thank you so much.
	So, give me another shot at karma.
	See what happens.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, indeed.
	Let's see what happens.
	I want to have that sign of the Pakistani soldiers in front of Bin Laden.
	Oh, we've got to get that sign.
	That is great.
	Although, you know, people would say, I just photoshopped it.
	I assume this is the real deal.
	That's always what the problem is.
	And, of course, it'll get used and people will photoshop their own message.
	Yeah, but, you know, there is a product.
	There's a thing.
	There's a secret.
	There's a piece of code floating around.
	That the public generally can't get a hold of.
	It's used by law enforcement.
	Adobe created it.
	I will have a copy.
	You can run any photo through it.
	And it's got an algorithm looking for any sort of remnants of Photoshop being double...
	Well, let's run the birth certificate through that.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, you can look at, and you can see this stuff's not photoshopped.
	It's very important to have this kind of code.
	Anyway, I also want to thank Daniel Stratzer, R. Daniels.
	Oh, I know why he's donating.
	Why?
	I gave him the thing I'm going to talk about later.
	I gave him all this.
	You know what he does, right?
	We don't have to tell everybody.
	3-3-3.
	But I gave him some...
	I gave him my...
	I was testing my theories on him that I'm going to talk about in a minute.
	Okay, we'll talk about that.
	He liked it so much, he came back with it.
	Sure are.
	I love that.
	With no comment.
	Yeah, no, I know.
	Eric, I'm sorry, not Erica.
	Eric Wilka in Russiaville, Indiana.
	He's an associate executive producer, 214-12.
	In the morning, Citizen John and Citizen Adam.
	Hey, Citizen.
	Yeah, for the best podcast in the universe, please give me a karma shot.
	As I'm about to graduate with my master's and start living the American dream of just getting by, I also could get a karma shot from my fellow No Agenda producer, listener, Kevin Flick, for his fight against a very serious medical issue.
	Thank you both for your wonderful original analysis.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Here comes a nice little shot of karma for you both.
	You've got karma.
	Meanwhile, Joe the Dish Slave comes in from Stockton, California, 211.
	Joe the Dish Slave here after a bit of donation hiatus.
	Here's a ketchup donation.
	Actually, he sent us money.
	I didn't get any ketchup.
	Did you?
	That doubles as a birthday donation.
	My birthday's on 2-11.
	Would it be possible to have Adam say, Joe...
	I'll say it later.
	Why does he want me to say that?
	I don't know.
	I'll say it at the end because otherwise new people will be like, I can't listen to this show.
	We'll say, okay, Joe, you have to listen to the whole show to be at the very end.
	That's right.
	All right.
	It gets a little too much cussing.
	Yeah.
	Also mentioned in my podcast, The Ozone Nightmare would be great, and please send some karma out for my mother.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Scott Hankel in Sunland, California comes in with 2-10-12, which is one of the requests that we had on a little mailing for tomorrow, which is 2-10-12, which is a palindrome.
	Hey, that mailing really worked.
	We got like what?
	Oh, we got three.
	Three.
	Okay.
	Three is better than a poker knife with a sharp stick.
	Hell yeah.
	You know, you may have something with this karma.
	With that being said, I would like to give my wife and myself some karma to overcome the past few crappy weeks.
	Oh, man.
	Alright, here's some relationship karma, I guess.
	You've got karma.
	Valentine's, Carmen, everything.
	And by the way, Eric Wilkes' 214.12 was a Valentine's.
	Also on Palindrome, by the way.
	Yes, you pointed it out to me.
	For some reason, I... You hadn't seen it?
	I couldn't see it.
	And then, do we have one more show before Valentine's Day?
	Yeah, we have one.
	Sunday, right?
	Sunday, then Valentine's Day.
	You get a special credit at the top of the list, by the way.
	214 Valentine donations.
	So, uh...
	We put that up at the top.
	He said, Alan Cavito III in Richmond, Virginia, 210-12, who says he's had enough of the slide whistle.
	He's paying you more than ever before just to get you to stop with the friggin' whistle.
	It'll take a lot more than that.
	Of course paying money to make you stop is kind of a reverse thing that may not work out because all you have to do is keep blowing it and I'll have to give you more money.
	This isn't going to work.
	I love what you guys do for the country in large ways and small.
	He's in Virginia so he must have something to do with something.
	Try to get some Koch brothers money.
	Hey, we tried to get some Koch brothers money.
	It didn't work out.
	And John, who cannot seem to pronounce many of your contributing names, have amazed me twice before by correctly pronouncing my name each time.
	Kavido, like torpedo.
	Alright, well here's some karma for you right off the bat.
	I think you deserve that.
	Karma.
	Because you're not going to get John to stop the slide whistling.
	Quite honestly, we were talking in the pre-show that when the show comes to its natural end or when we are both ended, John at least will have a skill.
	I'm getting better with it.
	Yeah, you're getting really good.
	I actually enjoy it when you play the slide whistle.
	It takes a while to get the hang of it.
	I'm still about probably a year away from being able to play a song a cappella.
	From your first performance.
	From my first Carnegie Hall.
	Andrew Gardner in Avenue, Maryland, 21012, in the morning trying to even out the donating to avoid the feast famine effect.
	Couldn't resist the palindromic karma effect, so 21012.
	Nice.
	Could I please get a Hey Citizen karma shot?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Let me try it out.
	Hey Citizen.
	You've got karma.
	And he wants to call out the 99% non-donators as douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	Then we have Christopher Scalenda, $200 without a comment.
	Oh, that's Chris.
	He helped me out with my Android app.
	Good guy.
	Good to see you back, Chris.
	Sid Cognito in Melville, New York, $200 with a little comment.
	I admire the amount of work you put into the show.
	I'm glad to help keep it going, working towards an eventual knighthood.
	I'm donating another $200.
	As before, please don't mention my name.
	Just credit me as Sid Incognito.
	I don't need any karma, but I think you do.
	Please play the Huntsman Chinese clip because I think it applies to you mostly, Adam.
	Plug sciencebasedmedicine.org.
	Hopefully that'll balance out the negative karma from some of your anti-vaccine nonsense.
	Okay, well, wait.
	I got more.
	I got the doozy for you coming up, my friend.
	I'm not anti-vaccine.
	No, that's true.
	He's not anti-vaccine.
	I'm anti-Gardazil and anti-swine flu.
	That's what I'm anti.
	Mark Morley and Twickenham, Middlesex, $200 without comment.
	And we want to thank them and everyone else for donating to the show, especially our executive producers who came in with bigger donations.
	And I want to remind everybody, everything matters.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash N-A. channeldvorak.com slash na, noagendashow.com, and noagendanation.com, and hit the donate button at those two sites, and we'll be continuing.
	dvorak.org slash na.
	Yes, and of course we have the palindrome for Valentine's Day coming up, and nothing says I love you more than a donation to No Agenda.
	That is a fact.
	Um...
	PR, quick PR mention we've got here.
	This is Sir Craig comes in with a domain name.
	He must have paid a lot of money for this, pointing to noagendashow.com.
	From the new XXX top-level domain series, we have release.xxx, which I think is nice.
	I don't know how many people are like, oh man, I need to check out release.exe.
	Thank you, darling.
	What?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Everyone else out there, of course, you do have a mission.
	It is to go out and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New world order.
	Say it with me now, everybody.
	Shut up, Slick.
	All right, you ready?
	We're going to go right into your thing?
	Yeah, it's going to take a while.
	How long is it going to take?
	I don't know, it depends.
	You might immediately go, I might.
	Alright, we'll start.
	That would be really unfortunate.
	I'll start asking questions.
	Okay.
	Well, what is one of the premises?
	And we actually talked about this on 200.5.
	One of the premises of our view of the world.
	Yeah, there you go.
	What?
	Well, what do you mean?
	Are you asking me a question right off the bat?
	I thought you were going to start into a diatribe.
	No, it's a question.
	I need to ease you into it.
	I'm not going to answer this question.
	It's all about oil.
	Isn't that what we've always said?
	Oh, yeah.
	It's always about oil.
	Yeah, that's one of our many models.
	And to take it to a further extreme, it's about everybody else's oil.
	We just want to keep ours and then break the world, and then we have all this oil, and we can be the number one dog on the block.
	Right.
	Which is fine with me.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I think we were a little bit distracted by the oil per se.
	And it really took me, and again, I've been working at this 18 hours a day for three days straight.
	And what I realized is, it's no longer just about oil.
	Oil, of course, yeah, important.
	But what's going on, and I'll just give you a little taste.
	If you haven't seen it, if you haven't heard it, This is the only thing dominating the news in America today.
	The shattering explosions come every few minutes in the besieged Syrian city of Homs.
	Residents say government troops are using rockets and heavy artillery in a bombardment that has gone on for days.
	As the shells fall, the slaughter mounts.
	Another 60 men and women and children were reported killed today.
	But residents say they cannot even count the dead anymore.
	We can't even count the dead anymore!
	Now, we talked on the last show, John, we talked about why is this being hyped up about Syria?
	What is going on?
	There is so much incredible hype that there must be something happening.
	Did you pick up on anything?
	I mean, we've been waiting for this in the New York Times.
	Has anything happened with Syria?
	Anything new?
	Well, no, I mean, all of a sudden it seems like someone turned the on switch and pushed it towards 11 and said, we've got it, Syria, it's all about Syria.
	Syria, Syria, Syria, Syria, Syria.
	Well, I have a bunch of thoughts on this, too, with a bunch of clips.
	But I'm more now interested in what you think you've dug up.
	Okay.
	I preface it with the word unnecessary.
	Alright, so I'm going to tell you that this is not about oil.
	This is about gas.
	And it only really struck me when I started to gather a couple of maps.
	Now, John, get your browser ready, because I'm going to give you a URL. Get your browser ready, boss!
	Is your browser ready?
	Browser's ready.
	It's up and ready.
	Should I be in the Google box or should I be in the URL box?
	URL box.
	Put your cursor in the URL box.
	Alright, I'm ready.
	Once you load this, you only have like 20 seconds and the rest of the listeners are going to go get it.
	It's going to crash the server.
	Alright?
	Ready?
	Yeah.
	Pipelines.curry.com You got it?
	Pipelines.curry.com.
	Tell me when you have the page loaded.
	Pages up.
	Pages up.
	All right.
	Picture you when you're 10.
	Now scroll down a little.
	Yes, that's it.
	It's his fault.
	Okay, first, and people at home can play along with this.
	So I want to show you, these are not maps I created.
	These are ones I got from presentations.
	Don't scroll to the bottom.
	Just stay where you are.
	Okay?
	You with me?
	All right.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So the first picture here shows the state of gas.
	It says oil and gas, but it'll be about gas, and you'll find out why.
	So on the right here, you see all this Russian region.
	You see bits of Iraq and Iran, and you see that's the largest oil and gas sources of the world.
	And the market, the largest market, is Europe, right?
	That's the second largest market.
	Of course, we have other big markets, but that is a huge oil market, right?
	Gas market.
	And of course, the natural route of transit is through Turkey.
	Going from, and a lot of this, if you go to the second one, you see these are all the pipelines.
	So we have the pipelines, we have the South Stream, the Blue Stream, and you'll see that a lot of this goes through the Ukraine, through Slovakia.
	They built the South Stream, which, and this is interesting, which goes through Greece, and then from Greece it goes to Italy.
	And of course, Europe is highly dependent upon gas for a number of reasons.
	And gas became very important in this past year.
	Gas has become, also, we have to note, to back your thesis up here, the recent memes about the cold, cold, cold weather in Europe and people dropping dead is one of these things that makes people start to think about this.
	Well, there's one other reason, which I didn't actually realize.
	But Japan has a huge demand now for natural gas.
	Why?
	Because they no longer have their nuclear facility.
	And the next option next to nuclear when it comes to what is the cleanest, what is the cheapest, and what is the easiest to deal with is natural gas.
	Now you'll recall that right after Fukushima, Germany said, Oh, that's it!
	We're shutting down all our nuclear plants!
	No more nukes!
	So they need more gas to generate electricity.
	That's just a side note, but something to bear in mind.
	First of all, before you continue...
	Our basic premise in show 200.5, that it's always about the oil, it applies to gas.
	It does, but there's something else that happened that we have probably forgotten that changed the entire picture and will explain everything.
	And I think it's a model we can apply to everything that's happening.
	I got the title for the show already.
	The big T's.
	Scroll down to the third map.
	Now this is the Arab Gas Pipeline.
	And you'll see the Arab gas pipeline starts down there at Arish, right?
	This is where Egyptian gas was shipped into Arish, and then the pipeline goes all the way up, passing Israel on the right-hand side.
	It actually bypasses Israel.
	It bypasses Israel, Damascus, up to Homs.
	Gee, where have I heard that name recently?
	Every ten seconds on the news.
	Scroll down to the fourth map.
	What's interesting is the Arab gas pipeline only goes to Homs.
	It's not complete.
	Because the mission is to complete the final 230 kilometers into Turkey, known as the Assyrian-Turkey pipeline.
	So what was happening is we had natural gas being shipped in.
	And this is, in a way, in many ways, competitive to all the Russian gas.
	You with me?
	Although the Russians are in on it, everyone's in on it, particularly Europe, and the Russians are also in on the Syrian-Turkey pipeline.
	So this is the way the gas was flowing, and we're going to relate this back to Arab Spring in a moment.
	What happened on December 30th of 2010?
	I don't know.
	You tell me, Adam.
	We discussed it.
	But we didn't really think about what the true...
	And all this is in the show notes, by the way.
	We didn't think about the true parameters of what this meant.
	The Leviathan gas field was discovered.
	This is the largest discovery of gas in our century.
	And it's right off the coast of Israel, the northern coast of Israel...
	And it goes all the way, basically, to Cyprus.
	Oh boy, isn't that interesting?
	So all of a sudden, the entire dynamics changed.
	Israel, which has always had to import their gas, and they imported it, by the way, straight from Syria, through that Arab pipeline, Israel now will become one of the largest suppliers of gas.
	Now, if all of a sudden we have this huge gas field, sitting right there in the Mediterranean, and we have the biggest consumer being Europe, what is the most logical route?
	The most logical route is to go...
	Bypassing that entire other chart that you saw.
	Bypassing this entire deal that you've seen with the Arab pipeline.
	The Arab gas pipeline.
	And Cyprus is owned by the Russians.
	Cyprus is owned partially by the Russians.
	Cyprus is owned partially by Greece.
	Turkey is very pissed off about the whole Cyprus thing.
	But who do we see showing up in Cyprus?
	We see Hillary Clinton showing up.
	There's a company there called Noble Energy.
	And noble energy has very tight ties to the Bush family and the Clinton family because Israel got a little bit greedy and they said, hey, you know, those laws we had in 1951 about how, you know, if we ever had any kind of natural resources, we'd tax them really low.
	We're going to jack that up a little bit, if you don't mind.
	Just a little bit because, you know, we can make some money here.
	And then Hillary Clinton immediately came out and said, hey, this is no good.
	And then she started working on something called the Law of the Seas.
	Remember that?
	The Law of the Seas, which determines the territory of each individual country and all the rest belongs to the UN or some other bullcrap like that?
	Yeah, good.
	Because who actually owns this?
	Well, Lebanon says it's theirs.
	Or at least part of it, Israel's like, no, no, no.
	This is the promised land, man.
	This is what Moses brought us here for.
	This is ours.
	Cyprus is saying, you know what?
	I think maybe it's ours, but we've got Noble Energy here, the Houston-based company.
	We'll work with you.
	No problem.
	We'll be your buddies.
	And we've seen a whole lot of really interesting things happen between Israel and Cyprus, but also Greece.
	Homes, of course, is really important because you want two things to happen.
	Gas is very cheap right now.
	So we can't just say, oh...
	It's depressed, actually.
	Right.
	We can't just say, oh, here's all this gas, you know, because it won't even be worth it to export it.
	But if we can create some kind of scarcity, i.e., let's blow up some pipelines, right?
	And what happens in homes?
	Pipelines, it's getting blown up continuously, right?
	Oop, blown up.
	Now, three months after this discovery, three months, the Arab Spring starts.
	I'll remind you that Egypt...
	Was exporting their gas into the Arab pipeline, which bypasses Israel.
	Not only did we see the entire regime and the whole country destabilized, but their pipeline was blown up four times during that time.
	Four times!
	Libya!
	Hmm.
	Libya was exporting their natural gas to Italy, straight into Europe.
	That stopped.
	When all of a sudden we had the Arab Spring and the Libyan no-fly zone?
	Stop.
	Done.
	No more natural gas was exported.
	They're trying to restart that, but they're not going to.
	Tunisia.
	Tunisia delivers natural gas to Italy via Algeria.
	So this has always been about the gas.
	Now let's check in on some of the elites and what they're doing.
	This is where it gets really, really crazy.
	I have a clip here.
	This is the new minister of energy for Greece.
	It just gets too funny.
	And he used to be the economic minister for Greece.
	And he was actually the ministry of the economy up until the crisis.
	And then all of a sudden he switched roles and he became the minister of gas.
	And why, you'll figure out in a second.
	So he goes to Jerusalem because the Greeks, of course, they want to have this deal.
	They want to have this gas coming in from this huge Israeli field.
	To sell to Europe and basically shut everybody else out.
	So he goes to Israel and he does an interview with the Jerusalem Post.
	But the interviewer is like a 13 year old girl.
	So he's really cavalier.
	He's just laying it all out there.
	And the things he says are...
	Outrageously amazing.
	Here's question one about exporting gas from Israel to Greece and then from Greece to Europe.
	Only a few weeks following the formation of a Greek unity government, Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister George Papakonstantino is the first Greek official to visit Israel as a representative of the new coalition.
	Is Greece considering importing Israeli natural gas?
	There is at the moment a big discussion on how to bring to Europe gas from a number of areas outside Europe and diversify sources.
	The negotiations, for example, on bringing gas from the Caspian Sea are now going to come to a conclusion.
	We are trying to make Greece the hub for gas development.
	...transit to northern European countries, either via Italy or through the Balkans.
	And in that context, the discussions with Israel are ongoing on the possibility to bring in also Israeli gas.
	And these have been discussed at a high level in the past between the two Prime Ministers and at a senior government level.
	So this new prime minister in Greece is very interesting.
	The old guy, Papandreou, he actually was trying to do a deal with the Russians for the, let me get the name of it here, the pipeline, here it is, the Burgas Alexandropoulos.
	Which would come from the Russians through Bulgaria into Greece.
	So this is why he had to go.
	Because it's like, wait a minute, we've got all this Israeli oil.
	We don't want that stupid pipeline.
	That's way too long.
	We can ship it right through Cyprus.
	We own half of that anyway.
	We can still work with the Russians.
	We can still put a deal together.
	But we're going to be the guys.
	So they bring in the new prime minister.
	And this Prime Minister is all over that.
	The new Greek Prime Minister as of November 11th, Lucas Pepadimos, last week told Netanyahu that they're interested in strengthening relations with Israel.
	What do you think he meant by this exactly?
	I have learned in politics to never interpret what the Prime Minister says.
	However, for the last few years, starting with the previous government, George Papandreou's government, there's been clearly a new page opened in the relationship between the two countries.
	And I think there have been many instances.
	There's been the visit, of course, that has happened to Greece, and a clear desire on both sides We've moved closer on a number of issues, political, economic, etc.
	So, Prime Minister Papademos is simply pushing that further, and he spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu a few days to reaffirm our willingness to keep a cooperation that is mutually beneficial.
	Yeah, mutually beneficial.
	So, all code words for, hell yeah, we're doing a deal with those guys.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is going to be great for us.
	One reminder once again about this guy, this Greek energy minister.
	Constantino also served as the Greek finance minister until summer of this year.
	And he talked about some of the causes of the economic issues facing Greece.
	So, he was a part of the collapse of Greece.
	And I believe that he was a true shill.
	Because what has been happening with Greece...
	As they're trying to figure out their deals.
	It's not...
	This is where I made the mistake.
	I thought, you know, it's really all about the austerity measures.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It's also about the privatization.
	Remember, we're talking about Greece selling everything off.
	So what is going to be privatized?
	Well, obviously, this transit of natural gas is part of this privatization deal, so you don't have the government...
	Soaking up what's going to be a bonanza and then passing it out to the public.
	Right.
	So they're privatizing the airports.
	They're also privatizing the port in general.
	But they're also going to...
	I actually have the list here.
	Concession of the ports and airports.
	Athens International.
	Sale in the stake of the public gas corporation.
	Ah, there it is.
	Also sale of the banks.
	Now the gas corporation, the electrical corporation, is DEPA. D-E-P-A. The CEO of DEPA is a certain Mr.
	Harry Sakchinis.
	This just gets crazy.
	He was also Group Vice President of Standards and Poor's.
	So I think what's going on right before our very eyes is they're trying to delay as much as possible the Greek bailout because it's not about the deals with the pensions.
	It's all about the sale of the state assets.
	This is exactly what happened in Russia, by the way.
	This is how you get the oligarchs.
	Yeah, Russia sold off all their really great assets to these oligarchs who now are billionaires overnight, largely because of this...
	Essentially taking what was in the public trust and instead of sharing it, I mean, we've seen evidence of many stories we've talked about over the years about, you know, where some government like Ecuador, for example, wants to take their oil reserves and not give all the money to Standard Oil or Texaco, but to pass it to the public.
	Right.
	The way they kind of do in Kuwait and in the parts of the Middle East.
	Right.
	Share the wealth with the public at large.
	I mean, California, for example, if we did that here, we'd all be rich.
	So, yeah.
	Actually, I have some of the articles speak of the new energy order.
	And we use this for jet fuel.
	And by the way, wherever there's gas, there's usually oil.
	And this thing, if you look at the Leviathan field, It is literally the mother load.
	Who was the first company?
	Now remember, Noble Energy is key here.
	Noble Energy.
	A lot of ties to the Bush.
	They're from Houston.
	So a lot of ties to Bush, but also to Clinton.
	Who was the first company to get the offshore drilling contracts when President Obama opened up the Gulf Coast?
	Noble Energy.
	They're the first ones.
	They're all in line.
	Clinton has been pressing Turkish officials to back off from threats to send warships to waters around Cyprus in a dispute over the energy deposits.
	She is completely protecting Cyprus.
	This is not necessarily country against country.
	This is corporate warfare between different gas and oil companies, depending on who they're affiliated with, being fought with real guns against real people.
	So this whole Syria thing It's not necessarily Russia who are trying to protect them, but it's factions within Russia who are most likely working with the Russian Cyprus faction,
	who are working with the Clintons and the Bushes on noble energy, who really just want to make sure that there's enough demand, so let's ratchet down the gas to Europe, and we've already seen that 30% less gas is being transported.
	From, what is the big Russian company?
	I have it here somewhere.
	Oh, it's too cold here.
	We can't send you enough.
	We have pipelines being blown up continuously.
	Well, who's doing the blowing up of the pipelines and why?
	Simple.
	Because it's a very short pipeline they've got to build basically between Cyprus and Greece because it doesn't have to go from Israel.
	It's Cyprus to Greece.
	And Israel is now building military facilities in Cyprus.
	Here we go.
	Well, it's all in the show notes at 381.nashownotes.com.
	And this destabilizing of Syria is probably, and now I'm just going into hypothesis mode, is probably our promise, and probably Clinton's, Hillary, Lucifer's promise, like, hey, don't worry about it, Israel.
	We're going to hook you up because we're all in on the back end of this.
	We're going to make sure that that gas is not flowing from Homs up to Turkey.
	We're not going to have that happen.
	So this whole thing, everything, right back to the Arab Spring, this all started after this huge discovery of this Leviathan gas field in Israel.
	And you can apply this to everything.
	Who's next on the list?
	Italy.
	And who do they put in there?
	Another shill.
	Goldman Sachs is in on this, by the way.
	And it's like, I think it's a club of maybe a couple hundred people, and they're all in, they are completely in with the contracts, they know who's getting what, and they do not give a crap about people.
	But they are pushing this Oh, well, we're not going to invade Syria.
	There's no way.
	The Russians are going to take care of what they've got to take care of.
	And it's probably the competing Russians who are working in Cyprus who also don't want to see this pipeline completed from Syria to Turkey.
	It becomes so incredibly clear you can almost relate anything we're seeing in the news back to this one thing.
	Right down to Romney and Santorum and Gingrich who are all sucking off Israel.
	They know!
	They know where the money is at.
	They know it.
	Why is Israel so important?
	Well now it actually is.
	It is important because it's trillions of dollars perhaps.
	And they don't give a crap.
	They will kill anyone.
	Well, for that kind of money, you would too.
	So...
	So there's this guy, Patrick Seale, who wrote a bunch of books about the Middle East, and he's an expert out of England, and he seemed to have a grip on this whole thing, and he saw this action in Syria as pretty much, although he never talks about this field or the oil, gas, and oil aspect.
	He does have most of the players down, and he does see it as a battle between the United States and Israel.
	On the same team, obviously.
	On the same team against the Russians and the Chiners.
	Yes.
	Oh, yes.
	You kind of left the Chiners out.
	No, no, the Chiners.
	Of course.
	No, the Chiners.
	But I want to play, there's a break here.
	I want to play two clips from this guy.
	Both of them are a little long, but they're very interesting.
	And it turns out that it's very easy to do what you're describing, in other words, blowing up these pipelines, because the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, which is another reason we can't get involved in this thing, because they're going to end up taking over the place if the Civil War continues.
	And then we'd get blamed.
	And we already let the Muslim Brotherhood pretty much take over Egypt.
	And we want them to, John, because they're just going to muck it all up as long as it slows down the gas.
	Right.
	So anyway, so they've got a built-in situation, and he explains the geopolitical part.
	This is called the Searle.
	It's actually his name, Seale.
	SEAL, S-E-A-L-E. SEAL on the Middle Eastern security.
	And he kind of discusses the player so we have an overview.
	And by the way, when you listen to this, it's obvious that this is nothing we should get involved with.
	And if you watch these idiotic presentations – and by the way, there's one other element you've got to bring into this with this thesis.
	The British and British Petroleum and the MI6 who seem to be stirring up the pot on a lot of these things.
	And I would like to hear your take on that.
	But let's play this guy's take on what factions are at work playing in that area.
	There's disputes going on in the opposition.
	Some say we must cooperate with the Muslim brothers.
	Others say no.
	Some say we must seek external intervention.
	Others say no.
	Some say we need a dialogue.
	I believe dialogue.
	Are you playing the right one?
	Are you playing SEAL on Middle East security or are you playing what's really going on in Syria?
	SEAL on Middle East security is the one I'm playing.
	Okay, well then go on.
	You want me to play the other one?
	No.
	Oh wait, yeah, play the other one first.
	I'm sorry, that's the summary.
	Well, what's really going on in Syria?
	Yeah, play that, sorry.
	You see, I think to understand what's happening, one has to see this as a concerted attack, assault on not only Syria, but Iran as well.
	You see, Iran, Syria and their ally Hezbollah in Lebanon, that trio, a sort of Tehran-Damascus-Hezbollah axis, has in recent years been the main obstacle to American and Israeli hegemony in the Middle East.
	And the attempt now is to bring that axis down.
	Of course, they're fighting back with their allies, with their friends, precisely like Russia and China.
	So that's what we're seeing on that level.
	Internally in Syria is a completely different struggle.
	Now, you see, the main element in the opposition, the most powerful element in the Syrian National Council is the Muslim Brotherhood.
	Now, just the other day, they celebrated the 30-year anniversary of the Assault in Hama by Hafiz Lassad, the father of the present president.
	And in that struggle, At least 10,000 people were killed in the city of Hama.
	Now we have to understand the background of that.
	Hama in 1982 was the climax of a terrorist campaign by the Muslim brothers which began in the late 70s to overthrow the Assad regime at that time.
	And they seized control, the insurgents seized control of Hama, butchered Ba'ath Party members and officials, and it's only at that stage that the regime moved in and crushed that insurgency and killed a lot of people, a lot of innocent people.
	The spectre of what happened then, 30 years ago, hangs over the present situation.
	And the Muslim brothers, they've been outlawed for the last 30 years, they've suffered all sorts of problems at the hands of the regime, and they are thirsting for revenge.
	So that's why I'm saying it's kill or be killed.
	The present government feels that these are armed insurgents, and the mistake of the opposition was, in fact, to resort to arms.
	Okay.
	Who is this guy again?
	Where is he from?
	What does he do?
	He's from Britain.
	He's a book writer.
	He's got a bunch of books on the Middle East.
	I think he's a security expert.
	And it seems as if that it didn't take much more than for somebody, I can't imagine who, to arm the Muslim Brotherhood.
	And of course, we couldn't ever take credit for doing that because this is a group that really doesn't like us either.
	And just let all hell break loose right in that one area, like you said, where the pipeline ends.
	And now the pipeline is stuck there while they're trying to deal with this crap.
	And then, of course, the reporting on this is just dreadful.
	I was watching Anderson Pooper.
	I have a thing if you want to listen to this clip.
	Yeah, I do.
	He's got some guy named Daniel.
	There's no reporting on this.
	It's Danny.
	It's Danny on Skype.
	Danny on Skype.
	Now, I've seen this.
	This is fantastic.
	This is a fraud.
	This is a fraud.
	Hold on a second.
	Which clip is it?
	I should say Anderson Cooper somewhere.
	No, I don't see any Anderson.
	That's weird.
	Did you forget it?
	Did you forget to send it?
	Oh, that's too bad.
	I do have it.
	No, it is, right?
	The second from the top.
	Bogus Syria report by Anderson Cooper.
	Now, this Danny guy, I saw him this morning on with the morning girl.
	Before I play it, I want to set this up.
	He's calling in regular reports.
	Yeah.
	This idiot is calling in, yeah.
	And by the way, there's a clip of him talking about some dead kid, and it's like...
	But you never see the picture, you see the same picture of a guy with his heel bleeding.
	He makes a mistake.
	Oh, in this?
	Danny, yeah, if you hear, it's very hard to hear him, but he says, where's the U.S. when we need them?
	But he meant U.N. U.N., ah.
	So he says, where's the U.S., where's the U.N. when we need them?
	It's a very interesting flub.
	But...
	I'm sorry.
	But wait, a couple other things.
	I want to point out to people that in any armed conflict ever, there's always reporters who sneak behind the lines and give us at least written reports that are highly accurate.
	None.
	There's nothing coming out of this area.
	Not a single thing.
	They were tonight on the slaughter that Bashar al-Assad and his security forces have unleashed in Syria.
	U.N. Security General...
	By the way, just listen to the setup.
	Oh, this is pathetic.
	This is pathetic reporting.
	There's no proof of anything going on.
	I mean, we do see some bombs going off here and there.
	But you can't just report like this if you don't know for sure.
	I have some great clips that fit into this.
	We'll continue.
	Ban Ki-moon calling the regime's assault on Homs a sign of worse to come.
	After four straight days of bombing and shelling, it's frankly hard to see how things could get worse.
	By the way, you only see two explosions and smoke in every single video.
	It's the same one over and over again.
	And the one video that shows the explosion, first they have the camera pointed at where the rocket comes from, and then they follow it right to the point as if it was staged.
	Well, yes.
	Did you notice the way that was shot?
	Oh, no.
	Dude, we've got so much to talk about.
	Worse than this.
	Incoming artillery rocket fire on several cities.
	That's not incoming, by the way.
	...neighborhoods, especially Baba Amr, where this video was taken today.
	More than five dozen people killed.
	Reports at field hospitals and medical professionals are being targeted along with the wounded.
	Now, the killing, the atrocity is unfolding despite al-Assad's commitment, or stated commitment, to ending the violence.
	He made that promise to Russia's visiting foreign minister only yesterday.
	He's made that promise before, of course, and that promise has always been broken.
	By this morning, his sincerity could be measured in dead men, dead women, and dead children.
	Which we have not seen any proof of.
	The activist, an opposition member known as Danny, has been risking his life daily, bearing witness to all of this, posting videos on YouTube.
	He filed this dispatch just after today's showing began.
	Now, before we show it to you, I want to warn you.
	Graphic.
	It's not especially graphic.
	It certainly is horrible.
	It's also the sad and simple thing.
	Not graphic.
	It's just horrible.
	Listen to me, slave.
	It's horrible.
	You will think it's horrible.
	Reality in homes right now.
	This is a field hospital.
	It's so good to have a child.
	This is a little child.
	He's about two years old.
	He got hit with a squatter bomb in his house.
	Is this what the UN is waiting for?
	Do we have any more children?
	Kill all the children, kill all the women.
	This child lost his brains.
	A bomb landed in his house.
	He lost his whole brains.
	Two children killed him and his success.
	What is it you have made of?
	We've been trying all day with no success to reconnect with Danny.
	We thought we had him several times.
	Communications are extremely difficult.
	The streets are deadly.
	Just before airtime, we managed to get in touch with another activist named Abu Abdo, who had just witnessed a friend die.
	So, I gotta say a couple things here.
	So, for anyone in that region to say...
	I've seen more video of this guy, who, by the way, is getting the two-book deal out of it, I hear.
	He's gonna do great.
	And he's saying, yeah, we need the UN, we need the UN. Did you know that Barbara Walters sat down with Assad and had an interview with him, a 45-minute interview?
	Somehow we missed this.
	I don't understand.
	But it wasn't recently.
	It was December.
	Was it?
	You sure?
	Yeah, yeah.
	December.
	I thought it was a couple years ago.
	No, it was December.
	It was December.
	Well, I did see it.
	I saw the interview.
	And do you want to hear what Assad thinks about the U.N.? Last week, an independent United Nations commission who interviewed more than 225 people issued a report.
	What it said was that your government committed crimes against humanity.
	And they went on torture, rape, and other forms of sexual violence against protesters, including against children.
	What do you say to them?
	I mean, what I am saying again and again is that protesters were...
	We're beaten.
	Things happened to them.
	Do you acknowledge that?
	Do you acknowledge what the UN said?
	Very simply, I would say send us the documents and the concrete evidences that you have and we'll see if that's true or not.
	You have a lot of allegations now.
	Did the UN not send you these documents?
	Nothing at all.
	You mean the first year?
	They don't have even the names.
	And this is true.
	I've read the UN documents, and just like Libya, they have no one.
	And Libya was like, oh, all these people getting raped, and they had one woman who later said, I don't want to talk anymore.
	Yeah, let's not forget the Viagra bullcrap.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Who are the raped people?
	Who are the tortured people?
	Who are they?
	We don't have any name.
	They didn't.
	But they didn't.
	Sorry.
	Mr.
	President, they have issued this report.
	They have accused...
	It must be true!
	...through in your regime.
	According to what?
	Well, according to what they said, 225 people, witnesses, men, women, children...
	That is a lie, because they have no names and witnesses in the report.
	I've read the report.
	...whom they interviewed and identified.
	And that's when they called it crimes against humanity.
	We are government.
	We have government.
	We have institution.
	They should send us the documents as long as we don't see the documents and the evidences.
	We cannot say yes.
	That's normal.
	We cannot say just because the United Nations.
	Who said that the United Nations is a credible institution?
	We know that you have the double standard in the world, in the United States policy, in the United Nations that's controlled by the United States and the West.
	So it has no credibility.
	So it's about evidences and documents.
	Whenever they have, we can discuss it.
	Just to discuss a report that we don't see any reality related to it.
	It's just a waste of time.
	You do not think that the United Nations is a credible organization?
	No, for one reason.
	They haven't implemented, they never implemented any of the resolution that related to the Arab world, for example, to the Palestinians, to the Syrian land.
	Why don't they?
	If they talk about human rights, what about the Palestinians suffering in the occupied territory?
	What about my land and my people that left their land because it's occupied by Israel?
	Of course not.
	For every citizen.
	It's not for me as president.
	I'm telling you about the perception in the whole region.
	You do not think the United Nations is credible?
	No.
	Never.
	It's not something before my generation.
	It's something we inherited as concept, as belief.
	You have an ambassador to the United Nations.
	Yeah.
	It's a game we play.
	Yeah, it's a little game we play.
	Which is a fact.
	And, of course, we just mentioned earlier in the show about the United Nations voting, you know, a million to two to get to the U.S. to stop their embargo in Cuba.
	We just tell them to shove it.
	So, Assad, although I do believe what he's saying, you know, this is terrorist acts taking place.
	Well, and the expert from London says it's just the Muslim Brotherhood trying to...
	Do their job.
	And they're doing their job.
	They're doing their job.
	They have to blow up the pipelines.
	However, even though Assad is telling the truth here, he's a player.
	He's a player in the game, and he lets it slip in this clip.
	So, what's the biggest misconception?
	Why is there this misconception?
	And you are saying the country is stable, we have some factions.
	What's the misconception?
	First of all, who is the most of the world?
	Most of the West, you mean?
	Not just the West, Turkey, Jordan, the members, that's not the West, the members of the Arab League, they are saying to you they are imposing sanctions, some of them are telling you to step down.
	These are your neighbors.
	There's agenda for those countries.
	It's political game.
	It's not because they don't care about the killing, they don't care about democracy.
	Most of these countries, they have agenda.
	I'm not going to talk about the town.
	I'm not going to talk about their agenda.
	Yeah, I'm not going to talk about the agenda because he's in on the game.
	Yeah, obviously.
	But again, this is not just about countries.
	And so this will relate back to your question about the British and the MI6. You can't see it just as the British and MI6. It's the corporations.
	BP has their own agenda.
	ExxonMobil has their own agenda.
	Shell has their own agenda.
	So whoever has the right people in the right place, this is corporate.
	The corporations Yes, Chevron and Unical are also players and also Gazprom or whoever it is out of Russia.
	So, obviously...
	Well, wait, before you go on with this...
	I want to throw another, just another wrench into the works.
	Okay.
	So, while there's a bunch of this propagandizing going around, especially on the news shows about this Syria action, and you see pictures of Hillary in the UN, who, by the way, she does not look good.
	No, no.
	Uh...
	All of a sudden, out of the blue comes Brzezinski.
	Your buddy.
	My pal.
	Yeah.
	Just listen, is that the cue here?
	Well, I mean, I didn't know what to make of these two clips that I picked.
	I mean, essentially he always keeps going back to world governance, which again is code for, you know, we want to get in on this action too.
	Uh-huh.
	Because what you're describing is a huge multi-trillion dollar money-making scheme, which would make sense that people would want to get in on it.
	But he's making assertions and other commentary that I think it just doesn't sound right, but in the meta view that you're giving us, it actually makes a little sense.
	And I don't know which one of these to play first, but Play lost at first.
	Collectively address the problems that the world faces.
	One of those is to, I think in your term, expand the West to include places like Russia and Turkey.
	Absolutely.
	I think that it's in the vital interests of the West to do so.
	And I think drawing in Turkey, drawing in Russia, would greatly increase the vitality of the West.
	And after all, The Turks, in the course of the last hundred years, have demonstrated a determination to be modern, secular, and democratic.
	So they're really part of our value system.
	In Russia today, we see for the first time the emergence of something we can call a civic society.
	Okay, so what's happening is he's, and we're going to put names to these eventually.
	And by the way, he is on that side of the equation.
	Yes, oh yeah, we're going to be able to figure it out because what he's saying is Russia, Turkey, Europe.
	That's the way it should go.
	And I'm just going to relate that to the pipelines because there is the South Stream, there's the Blue Stream, there's all these pipelines that run through Turkey.
	So he wants Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey.
	How many times has Hillary Clinton been to Turkey?
	She's been trying that too.
	By the way, let me give you something on this meme he just said.
	He said that it's a modern, secular, democratic for the last hundred years.
	They have been fighting this.
	The public in Turkey are fighting this.
	And he says they share our value system.
	They are a hundred percent Muslim society that would love to go Sharia.
	They don't share any...
	It's bull crap.
	Yeah, the elites do.
	But this is not...
	This is...
	I was thinking when I first saw this, before I'm starting to think about this other thesis, was that what is he...
	This guy, has he not been to Turkey recently?
	Has he not been to the Istanbul airport?
	I mean, it's just short of having goats in it.
	I mean, it is...
	All the women are covered up.
	This is very extreme.
	You'd think that you're in Saudi Arabia.
	There are a lot of places in Turkey where the burqas come off and the girls go crazy.
	Actually, in Istanbul, the party section there is beyond compare.
	I have to say, they know how to party in Turkey.
	I'm not saying that's not true.
	But that can end at the drop of a hat.
	With one new government.
	And I just don't see what he's seeing.
	Well, Turkey is obviously against the whole Israeli thing.
	In fact, Turkey...
	It has to be.
	Yeah, I mean, they're saying, hey, Cyprus, that's our territory.
	You can't have that.
	This is the whole history of Cyprus and Turkey.
	But again, if you haven't seen it yet, please go to pipelines.curry.com.
	You'll see where all of this is headed and the shortest route from all this wonderful resource replacing nuclear energy going right into Europe.
	Something very interesting happened, though, during a recent Spokeshole Carney press event.
	I like Jake because he's kind of compromised, but he always comes up with a great question.
	And so he's saying, look, we don't really have any official reports on what's happening in Syria.
	Do you guys have anyone there?
	Do you really know what's happening in Syria?
	Which is kind of like a softball for Spokeshole Carney to lob it in and tell you how horrible and the crimes against humanity, and then something very funny happens.
	But first, the setup with Jake in the Spokeshole.
	And just to follow up on the Syria question earlier from Noor, there have been reports that because of All that's going on.
	I think it's Holmes.
	I think it's Holmes.
	Really?
	Do you think so?
	There was a hospital that lost power and a number of premature babies.
	There we go.
	There's the premature babies again.
	Incubators, we're back.
	We got it.
	it as a result I don't know if that's a true story or not obviously in situations like this there are a lot of rumors does the White House by the way rumors in the general media have now been replaced by bloggers bloggers Bloggers and YouTubers.
	This is the big trick in the media.
	So instead of saying, we heard rumors, no, we have a blogger there, or a YouTuber.
	This is very important for media assassination.
	Do you know anything about the extent of the violence, factually what's going on?
	Factually!
	I assume we have people on the ground there to a degree or another.
	Are we monitoring exactly what is happening?
	Well, I can say that we have all here seen the reporting and some of the...
	No, there's no reporting.
	We see YouTube videos.
	There's no reporting.
	Absolutely.
	Of the escalation of violence that's taking place in Syria.
	Um...
	Over the last few days.
	And it's clearly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians.
	Clearly.
	Clearly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of...
	Clearly.
	And been accompanied by troubling statements from senior regime officials who have pledged, quote, to cleanse the country of renegades and outlaws.
	Oh, cleanse!
	There you go.
	Nice little genocide meme.
	Throw it in there.
	Pour it on, carny.
	That is hardly reassuring and only...
	That reinforces the fact that the Assad regime is engaged in a brutal campaign to slaughter its own people.
	He's Hitler!
	It's a fact!
	He's just engaged to slaughter, slaughter like cattle!
	A people that has...
	This process began when the Syrian people...
	Peacefully demonstrated in support of reform and transition to democracy.
	Bullcrap!
	So I don't have any details to impart to you on the kinds of information we might have with regards to what's happening in Syria beyond the news reports, but the news reports are bad enough.
	Bullshit!
	The news reports are bad enough.
	Then something really funny happens.
	There's a Russian reporter.
	I don't know how he got in.
	But Carney is not loving this guy.
	And the Russian reporter is calling bullcrap on Carney from the beginning, and he winds up finally asking his question, which Carney just completely ignores.
	But it's a...
	I don't know.
	Something wrong happened.
	Something went horribly wrong, and this guy snuck into the White House press corps.
	He's Alex.
	Alex from Russia Press.
	That'll be the last time you'll see him, by the way.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, this guy...
	This guy, he's dead now already.
	He does...
	I don't think the guy lives.
	...believe they were the right decisions.
	Andre.
	Andre, that's his name.
	Back to Syria, please.
	Of course, the Russians and probably the Chinese, too, say that they are not supporting the Syrian regime.
	What they are supporting is the international legal regime, the international legal norms that exist in relations between states.
	They do not want anyone, including the United States, to speak a regime they don't like, So, it may be hard to hear.
	What he's saying is, you know, the reason the Russians didn't want to join in on the veto is because they follow international law, which is like, don't meddle with another country.
	Of course, it's bullcrap, but don't meddle with another country's business.
	Just stay out.
	You know what I'm saying, Spokesall Carney, right?
	Basically what you just presented to us was a rhetorical, political, even economic aggression against that regime.
	My question is very simple.
	What are the specific legal grounds on which you do this?
	Very good question.
	What are the specific legal grounds on which you can go and place sanctions and threaten an entire country like Syria?
	What are the legal grounds?
	You basically have such a resolution.
	I would refer you to the United Nations, to our commission there, and to the State Department.
	No, the President is saying this, dude.
	You're supposed to say it.
	What you saw and what you see today is a broad international consensus.
	Against the behavior of the Assad regime, the brutal, brutal killing of the Syrian people.
	We think that's wrong.
	And we agree with many of our partners and allies around the world and in the region when we say that.
	I think, again, the images that we've seen just this weekend.
	He's struggling now.
	He's like, oh man, how'd this guy get in?
	Let me get back to the images.
	Being carried out by the Syrian forces under the control of the Assad regime is vile and unacceptable.
	So that is why we supported the United Nations Security Council resolution.
	And it's why we'll continue to work with our allies and partners to further isolate and pressure the Assad regime to allow the Syrian people the opportunity to choose their own future.
	That's the approach we take.
	Okay, Andre's not done.
	If I may, one additional question.
	I actually wanted to remind you that lynching is illegal in the United States.
	You need to have a court of law.
	But I will not ask you about that.
	I will ask you about, can you tell me?
	Andre, I feel like it might be 1982 and it's...
	I don't know.
	Lynching is illegal.
	Many like-minded people form a posse, hunt somebody down.
	Andre, do you have a question?
	I have a question.
	The question is, can you assure me that we are not working inside Syria through your special forces, whatever it is, working military?
	So he's saying, can you assure me that there are no special forces from the United States working inside Syria to stir up this crap and blow up the pipelines?
	Can you assure me that?
	That's the question.
	I'm sorry, what's the question?
	Can you tell me that the United States is not taking any military steps?
	I think we've made very clear that we are pursuing a political and diplomatic course with regards to Syria.
	And we will continue to do so.
	Wow.
	So he doesn't answer the question.
	No, he actually, he did answer by not answering.
	He couldn't say no.
	Because that would be a big fat lie.
	Because we're there.
	We're part of this.
	We have promised Israel to do this.
	We have promised.
	That's why they voted for, that's why they made this idiotic vote when they have no concerns about Cuba.
	To vote with us on that stupid resolution.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yes, Israel, we vote no.
	And Iran, by the way, ships gas to Turkey as well.
	Well, this is an interesting, let's go back again, back to Searle, not Searle, but Seale, and the summary that you started to play, because this is kind of interesting, because it's quite likely, when this is over, or you can figure it out, but it's quite likely that all this action about Iran has something to do with this.
	Now, is this the Middle East security, or what's really going on in Syria?
	The one, the Middle East security summary.
	Yes.
	Because you played the other one.
	And because it's possible that we're kind of missing the point of Iran, too.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I think...
	But listen to this.
	Listen to this theory this guy has.
	Good.
	There's disputes going on in the opposition.
	Some say we must cooperate with the Muslim Brothers.
	Others say no.
	Some say we must seek external intervention.
	Others say no.
	Some say we need a dialogue.
	I believe dialogue is the only way out of this.
	And indeed, the Russians have suggested to both sides to come to Moscow and start a dialogue.
	But the opposition says, no, we can't dialogue with Bashar al-Assad.
	He must be toppled first.
	Well, that's a dangerous position to adopt.
	Now, Saudi Arabia is the Arab world's heavyweight.
	It is the great financial powerhouse.
	It doesn't particularly like Iran.
	It sees Iran as a regional competitor.
	It's frightened of Shia power.
	The fact that Shias have come to power in Iraq as well, and so it would rather like to contain Iran.
	However, there are some Saudis, some senior Saudis who understand that Saudi Arabia and Iran are really partners They share a responsibility for the security of the Gulf region and they should start a security dialogue.
	That's what they need to do rather than being dragged in to this quarrel between the United States and Israel on the one hand and Russia and China on the other.
	Yes, the new energy order has made the Iranians and the Saudis Natural allies.
	Now everyone is against Israel.
	Because Israel's got the mother load.
	And these guys are sitting like, wait a minute, we're here in the freaking sand.
	And these guys are going to be sitting in the catbird seat.
	They're exporting everything.
	We've got to work together here.
	And the way to keep that from happening is to keep saber-rattling, claiming they got nukes, because it's been said in many, we've seen a couple of these security sessions on C-SPAN where they talk about, you know, the real problem, even though we now assume because all the security agencies claim or say, all of them, Say that Iran's not working on any sort of nuke.
	No.
	But you want to make it seem so because it frightens Saudi Arabia because if Iran actually got a nuke, every other country would have to get one because they're afraid these guys are nuts because of this Shiite thing.
	But the fact, as this guy expressed, is those two countries, maybe this is just to keep them from ever getting together by scaring everybody with this bull crap.
	Exactly.
	Oh, you know, Israel's going to bomb them.
	Oh, we've got to go in.
	Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
	And all of our candidates, except for Ron Paul, who seems to be the only one that would just love to just back out of this.
	Yeah.
	He's the only one that's honest about it.
	These other guys are just full of it.
	Well, they probably got back-end deals, dude.
	Do you know, I mean, if you look at...
	Yeah, what am I thinking?
	Hello.
	Hello.
	That Ron Paul 76, he's set for life.
	He doesn't care.
	Noble Energy.
	Noble Energy is the one to look out for.
	By the way, in Iran, we have, you know, we've had all kinds of things happening, little terrorist attacks, little explosions.
	I'm reading from a report August 12th last year.
	An explosion Friday at a gas pipeline that runs from Iran to Turkey has disrupted gas exports...
	The explosion occurred early in the morning as part of the pipeline that is Turkish territory near the border with Iran.
	This is happening on an increasing level.
	And we can apply...
	I'm thinking now, John, seriously.
	Yes, Europe is in trouble.
	Absolutely.
	But when you put together...
	And by the way, this is what tipped me off with one of our buddies.
	He sent me a note and said, I can't believe it, but Standards and Poor is thinking of upgrading Greece.
	This is a rumor that's out there.
	They're thinking, and this was on Bloomberg, that they want to upgrade Greece.
	But when you understand that the CEO and president of the, if it isn't already 100% privatized, the soon-to-be completely privatized DEPA, the Greek energy company, which will handle all of this gas, which they'll ship off to Europe, used to work at standards and poor.
	The whole thing is an inside game.
	And who was it that actually screwed up Greece?
	Goldman Sachs.
	So Goldman Sachs puts in a Goldman guy.
	He's right at the head.
	The minute this guy's in, all of a sudden, Greece and Israel, they're visiting each other.
	We're hanging out.
	Yeah, we're having discussions.
	Italy, Goldman guy.
	Why?
	Because it has to go from Greece to Italy to Europe.
	These are warring corporations.
	Corporations, I tell you.
	Not countries, corporations.
	It's crazy.
	We just have to figure out which ones so we can invest in them and ride the gravy train.
	I've been looking up this stuff.
	Well, Noble's already got it.
	It's a hundred bucks already.
	You can't get into that.
	It was down to like 50 and now it's a hundred.
	You can't get into those guys.
	Although you never know.
	There's probably two or three of these players that you can sneak in on.
	There's investment opportunities.
	That's what the show's about.
	So anyway, this is what I've been spending my week on, and the more I look at it, the more it's just like, oh, this makes sense.
	The whole Arab Spring, it was about stopping the gas, because you can't have...
	Gas coming in from everywhere, then, you know, the gas becomes so cheap that you can't make any money on it.
	Syria, by the way, is not...
	And by the way, also, this explains why we've done nothing about Bahrain, Qatar, any of these other countries with Arab Spring, real Arab Spring action.
	No gas, no interest.
	No gas, no care.
	NGNC. That's your hashtag.
	No gas, no care.
	You got no gas?
	I don't give a crap about you.
	You're not important.
	But think about, and this is my crack pottery, think about Fukushima.
	All this happened after this discovery.
	Hey man, what are we going to do about these nuclear plants?
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	Why don't we make it really scary and really dangerous, and there'll be more demand for gas.
	Japan can't get enough gas.
	India.
	Israel is already putting deals together to ship their gas to India.
	India's freaking out.
	They need gas.
	Who's going to send it?
	Israel.
	They're doing deals right now.
	I've got all of the...
	It's all in the show notes.
	381.nashownotes.com.
	You know, you'd think with the food they eat, they'd have all the gas you'd ever need.
	Hold on.
	No!
	Simultaneous dingage.
	But I just look at the Arab Spring.
	I'm like, it makes so much sense, John.
	Yeah, no, this is good.
	I think this analysis, we should just keep this as our basis for watching this action going on in Syria and elsewhere.
	And we've got to be able to put the corporate names to the shills.
	So Hillary Clinton, we know she's in with Noble.
	And even Bill Clinton came out and started yapping about that.
	But we know that the Clintons really work for the Bushes.
	And this is a Houston firm, so duh, really simple.
	But also the Far East Energy Corporation, which is owned by the Chinas.
	They're also involved, and I think they're in the Clinton-Bush camp.
	I'll just say, you know, Clinton-Bush-Obama, because it's not Obama, it's whoever's running the show with him, because he immediately, the first company, the first company to get offshore drilling in the Gulf, Noble Energy.
	Never heard of him.
	Guess where they have connections?
	You're going to love it.
	Switzerland.
	Zouk.
	Zouk.
	Switzerland.
	Glencore.
	Mark Rich.
	Clinton.
	Connect all those dots.
	And I think if we just keep this in mind, you and I, because we'd kind of gotten away from it because it overlooked the gas thing.
	You know, it's like gas and whatever.
	I had no idea.
	And we had actually discussed this Leviathan field.
	But we never thought about the implications.
	Now, going back, and I actually did a lot of the search on my...
	I have one of those Yacy search engines, so it filters out all the bull crap from Google.
	It just gives you kind of sparse results.
	Man, I found so many amazing articles about how huge problems have been predicted between Lebanon and Iran and Israel because of this gas and the maritime borders and who really owns it.
	And again, that's why you get the laws of the sea.
	That's what Hillary Clinton has been spearheading herself.
	Well, you know, this is who really owns it and this belongs to them and then Cyprus and, you know, but it's...
	It's corporations, because you have Russians who want to ship the gas through the Arab pipeline, and you have Russians who are in Cyprus and want to get it from Israel.
	And it could be the same guys, for all I know.
	It's just the heads.
	They don't give a crap.
	And they don't give a crap about people.
	Well, they just don't want anybody else getting it.
	That's the problem.
	Of course, of course.
	And this totally...
	Now, for once, I can say, yeah, Israel is really important for douchebags.
	So let's take a break for the moment and then we'll get back.
	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.
	We want to thank some people who appreciate this kind of insight because nobody, I mean, you're not going to get anybody talking about this stuff.
	Well, we would have been interrupted.
	Michael Voss in Colorado, $121.12, which is, is that a...
	We would have been interrupted at least five times, maybe more, by commercials.
	So we would have lost our train of thought and it wouldn't have worked.
	You would have switched away and gone and listened to...
	I was watching the Democracy Now!
	show where I picked up a couple of things, including a clip I got later.
	And it was just terrible because at the end this guy got on a roll and said, well, you got one minute left because we're done, you know?
	The guy had to rush through his argument in one minute and then he had to kill the show.
	Yeah.
	It always kills it.
	This doesn't work.
	No.
	This has to be done the way we're doing it.
	And that's why we have to thank Jason Dozier in Kansas City, Kansas.
	$111.13.
	Also...
	This is Alexandra Denison in New South Wales.
	Hi guys, I'm making this contribution as a Valentine's gift from my boyfriend Peter Dobson.
	The guy is a huge No Agenda fan.
	While I typically shun all things Hallmark, I am happy to make an exception donating to you guys.
	You're pretty great.
	Not sure why I haven't donated sooner.
	Certainly this won't be the last.
	$100.24.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	Well, that's our 10th female listener.
	Anonymous Hillbilly in Elkins, West Virginia, $100.
	I'm probably...
	I can't give more than the IRS is now garnishing my wages for.
	Oh, boy.
	Oh, God.
	You know, we could put a garnish on your wages and take the money directly every month if you want.
	I'm happy to do that.
	Poor guy.
	Yeah.
	Okay, now you're going to have to pronounce this because I've got a karma shot for him.
	He wanted some karma.
	Yeah, give him a karma shot.
	You've got karma.
	An anti-wage garnish karma shot.
	It's $100.
	And now you have Peer, it looks like Hasselstrom in Stockholm.
	It's Peer.
	Peer Hasselstrom.
	Peer Hasselstrom.
	In Stockholm, $100.
	Thomas Casey in Rotterdam, $100.
	Doesn't sound like a Dutch name.
	After the producer with cerebral palsy donating, I could no longer live with being a douchebag.
	Let me give him a de-douching for that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	That's why he did it, so that you would feel that way, and it works, and we appreciate it on both ends.
	Exactly.
	Clinton Latham in St.
	Peter's, Missouri.
	$100.
	He who shall not be named in Port Jefferson, New York, $99.
	Sir Stephen E. Taft, to you.
	Marietta, Georgia, 88.43.
	Double nickels on the dime to celebrate Magnus Racing's GT class win at 24 hours in Daytona.
	Excuse me, Daytona at $33.33 as a third attempt to get an official podcast license.
	I'm getting raided, Rob.
	My two monthly PayPal donations in favor of a single auto-generated check.
	It's only $20 a month, but I'm just an old retired knight sharing what I have to keep the best podcast in the universe going.
	Your humble servant, Sir Stephen Black Knight of the Drones.
	Yeah, and I just want to say, since we need to talk about it every show, essentially, PayPal drops your recurring donations.
	They drop it.
	And they'll give you some bullcrap thing like, well, the credit card couldn't be used.
	And we have people say, this credit card is good.
	I've used it continuously.
	There's no problem.
	And if they can't process a payment for whatever reason, they just cancel the recurring subscription.
	So if you have one, please check on it.
	Yes, please.
	Brian Wright in Pasadena, Maryland.
	Dear John and Adam, time for some Value for Value.
	I've been listening to the best podcast in the universe since the first show, and it's about time I became a donor, not a boner.
	Could you de-douche me, please?
	Absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	I also have a son, Lane.
	He's on the birthday segment.
	He just turned 16 this past February 6th.
	He's a huge fan of the show.
	I'm also donating because I would hate for the show to go back to it once a week.
	I need my weekly tutor to the head.
	Thanks for all you're doing.
	Please keep up the great work.
	Now, this one is a mess on my screen, but it's Hans-Jorg Schultz, I believe.
	Yes.
	In Mecklenburg, which I think is in Deutschland.
	I think it's, yeah.
	6969, Jeff Daly, Arlington, Virginia.
	Hello.
	No comment.
	No, none needed, none needed.
	6789.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay, well, we need more of those guys in Arlington.
	Jeffrey Yerke, Concord, California, 6666.
	Hey, John and Adam, now that I'm back to being a wage slave, I thought it was hike time to start being a donor, not a runner.
	Yerke and I, by the way, worked together on remastering old vinyl.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, we have quite a few things done.
	Oh, that's cool.
	Still waiting for John and my Red Fox fortune to come in.
	We're looking for the owners of the Red Fox Party Album's copyrights.
	Red Fox, like from Sanford and so on?
	Yeah, he did a whole bunch of party records.
	Lamont!
	Martha, I'm coming!
	Lamont!
	Before that, he did all these cheap party records.
	Really?
	Hundreds of them.
	That's cool.
	And we cannot find who owns the copyright.
	What, you want to re-release him?
	Yeah, they're hilarious.
	Oh, I need to de-douching.
	Let me give you that.
	You've been de-douched.
	So if anybody has a clue on where to get these, we'll want to license the license.
	That's funny.
	That's very good.
	We've been doing this for years.
	Aaron Laudy in Montreal, Quebec.
	A 6666.
	You gentlemen deserve this value for value donation a long time ago.
	But alas, better late than never, I'd like to request a special shot of karma for the love of my life.
	Kelly, she'll be going in for jaw surgery next week and we'd like some karmic assistance for the six-week recovery.
	Absolutely.
	Here you go.
	It's going to look great, by the way.
	You've got karma.
	Be great.
	Brandy In Grando.
	In Denver, Colorado.
	Donations for chemo, bonos...
	Bonalik?
	I think Bonalik.
	Or Bonalik.
	Bonalik or Bonalik for his 36th birthday on 210.
	He loves your show and the jingles, especially in the morning.
	In the morning.
	Please wish him a happy birthday.
	We put him on the list.
	Samantha Costin, Stockton, California.
	60.
	We're up to a lot of women in the morning, John and Adam.
	I wanted to send you some donation love your way and wish my amazing husband, Joe the Dish Slave.
	A happy birthday.
	His birthday is on Saturday the 11th.
	I know a shout out from you guys would make his day.
	If you also don't mind sending some karma for him and our family, it would be greatly appreciated.
	Absolutely.
	Love him, love the cups.
	You've got karma.
	The mugs, I should say.
	The Doug in the morning news mug.
	Anonymous in Sofia.
	Bulgaria.
	Bulgaria, yeah.
	A fine oil, a gas transport country.
	Hey, John.
	Yeah, owned by some private company associated with Goldman Sachs.
	Hey, John and Adam, first-time donor here.
	Thank you for all you've done.
	To show my support, I've started a little Tumblr blog, No Agenda Gifts.
	NoagendaGIFSGIFS.com to propagate the formula in my own way.
	It's full of original content.
	They're pretty easy to make and you've got plenty of material to bounce off of.
	So enjoy the mindless GIFs and spread them around.
	It's not working.
	It's not working.
	Does it have to be WWW? No, it's unusual.
	No, it's not working.
	NoagendaGIFS.
	No, it's not working.
	That sucks.
	Okay, we'll work on that.
	P.S. Also, when time permits, I can make hand-drawn ones like the vacation karma for Julie Jif for your nights.
	Okay, well, we'll work on that.
	I'll get a hold of her.
	Him.
	Sorry, him.
	It's no agenda.
	Jifs.tumblr.com.
	Oh.
	They are very funny, by the way.
	Okay.
	Little animated gifs.
	That's cool.
	Good.
	We can use them.
	Is there a cat running back and forth across the screen?
	He actually has a sheep that has boots on, and it says, boots on the ground.
	Andrew Sturgel.
	In England, Colorado.
	I want to thank him for $60.
	Also, Aaron Anderson, Louisville, Kentucky, $60.
	Why?
	With the comment, why?
	Because I love you, he says.
	Roman Mikalovich in St.
	Petersburg.
	Russia.
	We don't have that many Russians.
	I don't think the Russians get...
	A fine gas exporting country.
	5775 would be awesome if you mention tmradio.net.
	Absolutely open radio with podcasts and stuff in Russian.
	Can't decide which one of you will get my valentine.
	Oh, make it me, please.
	Send it to Mickey or Mimi.
	Christina Rackley, 5678.
	Second Mile Productions in Melvern, Ohio, 5678, which is odd that we have two of those.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	The house hunting and travel karma worked.
	We found a house that seemed perfect for us and it has a few issues, but because of those issues, we may be able to get it at a better price.
	The house is bank-owned, which could also help the price.
	We put in an offer and are hoping to hear back this week, so I want to ask for some.
	Hopefully, the bank accepts our offer karma.
	Yeah, this is from Brian and Susie Morris, where we stayed during the Hot Pockets tour from the Second Mile Productions.
	They actually followed up.
	The bank rejected their offer, but they said, as we know, karma works in strange and wonderful ways, so they're expecting something crazy good to happen, like a whole other house that they never even had thought of.
	So let me make sure they get that unexpected karma shot.
	You've got karma.
	So I guess we didn't get the karma in on time.
	Maybe.
	Brian Rogers, Newton, New Jersey, 55-55.
	Why?
	Because?
	Value for value.
	Kevin Chismar in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Long-time boner.
	First-time donor.
	Could really use some hey, citizen, get laid karma.
	Okay, let me try...
	Citizen?
	You've got...
	No, that didn't work well.
	Let me try that again.
	Hey, citizen...
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Don't want a misfire.
	Scott in Leesburg, Virginia, double niggles on the dime.
	Adam's plea for money didn't move me until he started reading the Fruit Loop voice ads.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	I have a new one to read.
	I have a new one.
	I found the Old Navy one.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, so because our donation...
	Actually, if we can have it like today, every day, then two shows is good.
	I'm good for two shows, but we promised ourselves we'd give the whole month of November to make sure that...
	February.
	February.
	Well, it's November.
	February.
	So the jury is still out.
	But to try and pick up the slack of paying the bills...
	I signed up with a voice agent, and they sent me these voiceovers.
	A lot of it's for television.
	And by the way, when I see what they did choose on television, I'm like, oh crap.
	I mean, alright, there's no way I could do that.
	So this one's for Old Navy.
	This is the level I've sunk to.
	They should pay us for playing these.
	They should.
	But the instructions said they wanted a Hank Kingsley kind of voiceover.
	You know Hank?
	Hey now!
	From the Larry Sanders show.
	Hey now!
	This is how low I have sunk.
	This is Adam Curry.
	Three scripts for Old Navy.
	Two scripts for The Perfect Pufferizer and Censor.
	It's the perfect weather for a perfect puff at Old Navy.
	We're filling them with just the right amount of puff to keep your family looking cute and stuff.
	Wait, listen to the second one.
	That puff's full of stuff.
	Fits to puff-fection.
	Oh, God.
	Please, please, please behoove me.
	Don't let him do this, folks.
	That's so bad.
	Alright.
	I haven't gotten a single gig, by the way.
	Karma for Kathy in New York and a Huntsman Karma combo for him.
	So you can do a Huntsman Karma.
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Spike in Hamilton, Ohio, double niggles on the dime.
	Hearing Adam's voiceover application has compelled me to donate.
	Good.
	Hopefully we can keep you from going to one show a week as it will screw up my commute.
	Thanks as always for the best podcast in the universe.
	Maxwell Roberts, Crown Point, Indiana, Double Nichols on the Dime.
	I'd like to give you some karma to all the No Agenda fans who actually donate to the show and call out Scott McLaughlin as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	You've got karma.
	Patrick Vaughn, Traverse City, Michigan, 55 double niggas on the dime.
	The karma for my last donation was a misfire.
	Please send me another karma to help me secure a new job I've been chasing.
	Keep up the good work.
	Help to donate in the future.
	Save the hoist talent from Adam.
	Hold on a second.
	Patrick, I do want to say something, Patrick, because he sent me a note about what happened.
	When you receive the karma and it works, you have to acknowledge it and then don't think that karma goes on forever.
	Here's what he said.
	Last night, my newly 18-year-old stepson went to a casino.
	This is after he requested karma.
	For the first time, the worst possible thing happened.
	He won a couple of hundred dollars.
	A few days later, he went back and walked away with $1,000.
	Now he thinks we're all idiots for working for a living.
	That's what 18-year-olds do.
	And he went to a reputable sporting goods store and purchased a 1978 Russian military surplus rifle.
	So he got his karma right there.
	$1,000 worth of karma.
	And then, he went to the gun range, and after ten rounds, the rifle blew apart.
	A metal cover blew off and beamed the kid right in the nose.
	No serious injuries, and the stores quickly serviced the rifle, and it's as good as new now.
	But, you know, he's calling this a karma misfire.
	I'm going to disagree.
	You had your karma right there.
	A thousand dollars worth of karma.
	Don't go tempting the karma.
	That's not a good idea, so I'll give you another shot there as requested, but be careful with it.
	You've got karma.
	To be used with caution and consideration.
	Howard Abraham, Rochester, Minnesota.
	Nice place, 5510.
	Been meaning to donate for the past year, but something always came up.
	This week I realize it's not going to be a good time ever.
	Please de-douche me and send me some anti-conversion syndrome karma.
	Just in case.
	You've been de-douched karma.
	More on that coming up.
	Quite sure what that's all about.
	It's the Leroy thing, the conversion.
	Oh, right.
	Mass hysteria.
	Oh, it gets better.
	We're not going to have time to discuss too much of that.
	Yeah, we will.
	Yeah, we will.
	Ken Medlock, Roeville, Victoria, 5510.

	Here's an urgent call for karma from Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	My 12-year-old son Ben is forced by his mother and ex-wife to move to another town and school.
	Despite the fact he doesn't want to, he's got some form of autism.
	pdd.nos makes the moves extra bad for him.
	That's why I started a lawsuit.
	But give him some karma and we'll deal with it.
	Absolutely.
	I hope it all works out.
	We've got karma.no.

	And if this is the level of support you can keep up for us, then we're going to be good, but it will have to be an average for February.
	Otherwise, it's back to the old Navy voiceovers for me.
	Jaborak.org slash NA Hey, citizen!
	Hot Pockets!
	It's your Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day!

	Keep it up, people.
	This is good.
	No nights.
	It's not that good.
	And remember, nothing says, I love you, than a donation to no agenda.
	Last chance to dance on Sunday.
	Especially on somebody else's behalf.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	I got stuff, but I think I should let you...
	You got anything?
	Yeah, I do have a couple things I wanted to just throw in there.
	I think there may be some continuation.
	You know, the way we're handling, the country's handling a lot of this stuff and the way the news organizations are handling stuff.
	I still believe the CIA has got a battle going on with Obama in some way, shape, or form.
	We had on the New York Times, this clip is an NYC writer on Syria.
	This is Nicholas Kristof.
	Oh, he's the shill.
	If you take a look at his wiki page, you kind of see some interesting factoids about him.
	He's George Clooney's handler.
	No, no, no.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, this is the New York Times.
	I know who this is.
	Nicholas Kristof is the guy that got George Clooney interested in the whole Sentinel program.
	Well, that's a possibility, but this is not that creepy handler that's always with him.
	No, but he's a part of the whole deal.
	Well, whatever the case is, I thought this was interesting because he is making the claim that there is no reporting going on and that we have to be careful, and I still think...
	I think the CIA is against, or there's a battle going on between public opinion, what the Obama administration wants to do, and what the CIA wants to do.
	And first we're going to play this, and then I'm going to play a shot across the bow clip, which tells Obama to back off.
	And Nick, I know you've been trying to get into Syria.
	What do you think about the situation involving the media there?
	Well, I mean, it's really hard to galvanize the international community to care about a crisis when you don't have a lot of footage coming in over television screens.
	And there are some individuals in Syria who have been doing an absolutely heroic job with their cell phones and then capturing that video and then taking it at Some risk to themselves and trying to post it through, in some cases, the cell networks of surrounding countries near the borders.
	And if they are caught with that, if they're caught doing that, they will be arrested and risk execution.
	So I, you know, boy, I admire their courage.
	In the absence, frankly, of CNN and the New York Times and a lot of other international media, it is a lot harder to get that kind of international critical mass of attention at the UN, in Arab League capitals, and especially to create that kind of pressure on Moscow and on Beijing.
	Yeah, time to bring in Clooney, I say.
	I noticed there was the Moscow-Beijing thing, too, which is like, okay, whatever.
	So there was this weird thing that showed up on Democracy Now!
	with Gravel Voice reading the news about the drones being approved for small four-pound drones.
	They're trying to make them legal in all the cities so the little drones can be flying outside the windows.
	And then she has this very funny line, because you've ever watched that show, she just reads news items one after another with no segues.
	Never has a segway.
	First time ever she has a segway, and she says, in other drone news.
	Which I thought was, why is she doing a segway?
	And then she does a CIA, essentially a CIA report, where one of the ex-CIA, the military guy, you'll...
	This is a very interesting...
	I don't know where they got it or why they even ran it, because it just seemed like a messaging more than anything else.
	But play the whole drone story.
	We'll make it easier for domestic law enforcement agencies to obtain and use pilotless surveillance drones inside the United States.
	According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the bill would require the FAA... To allow police agencies to operate any drone weighing 4.4 pounds or less under certain conditions.
	Jay Stanley of the ACLU said, quote, this bill would push the nation willy-nilly toward an era of aerial surveillance without any steps to protect the traditional privacy that Americans have always enjoyed and expected.
	In other drone news, former CIA director Michael Hayden has openly criticized the Obama administration's use of pilotless drones to assassinate suspected militants around the world.
	Hayden said, quote, right now, there isn't a government on the planet that agrees with our legal rationale for these operations except for Afghanistan and maybe Israel.
	The drone program began under President George W. Bush, but has rapidly expanded under Obama.
	So far, the Obama administration's carried out drone strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Ethiopia, and Libya.
	Hayden also criticized the U.S. assassination of the U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen.
	Hayden said, quote, we needed a court order to eavesdrop on him, but we didn't need a court order to kill him.
	Isn't that something?
	He asked.
	So let me say something about this.
	First of all, I've read the FAA... What is the actual...
	Well, it's the FAA bill.
	And everyone's kind of concerned about the drones.
	But actually, and as an aviator, I'm very interested in this, of course.
	This does play into our hand, John, with the Dvorak-Kurri Drone Corporation.
	Because what it does is it makes it illegal to fly essentially a remote-controlled airplane...
	Without a pilot's license.
	So you will have to get an extra add-on on your ticket.
	So I have fixed wing, single engine, and I have helicopter all rating.
	So I can fly a Chinook, and I can, and I have.
	But then if you want to fly a drone or even a remote-controlled aircraft, you'll have to have a pilot's license.
	So it's actually a restriction unless you are approved by the FAA and have taken all the tests.
	What this further does is it finally, and I predicted this would happen, It finally provides the FAA with the $11 billion they wanted to implement the next-gen ATC system.
	So this is where it's not about drones.
	It's about your airplane will have no pilot in it.
	Okay?
	So it's going to start with cargo, but you're going to get on an airplane and you're going to feel so incredibly safe because we don't have pilots on board anymore, those pesky pilots who make all those crazy mistakes and kill you all the time.
	Notice, though, what she said in this report.
	She talked about a pilotless drone.
	And this is something that the...
	Military Industrial Complex, and I read all of their newsletters, is all over.
	What she means here is an autonomous drone.
	And the autonomous drone indeed does not have a ground crew piloting it.
	It makes decisions based upon a terrorist profile whether to shoot and kill you or not.
	That is what the pilot...
	It's a very key difference because a drone is not pilotless.
	A pilotless drone is autonomous.
	And to show you how bad it will be, remember those guys who were coming from England into the U.S. and they put on the tweeters like, we're going to go destroy America.
	What happens is these systems that are trailing and basically sniffing Twitter all the time see Destroy America.
	It immediately connects to the person's name, which, thank you very much, Twitter, immediately.
	I'm sure they have an API into Twitter's database.
	Sends it right over to the Border Patrol, and they stop the guy because no one actually read the tweet.
	That was automatic.
	Autonomous systems is very, very dangerous.
	Finally, the good news is, John, this will clear the way for our game show.
	What game show is that?
	Win, lose, or drone!
	That's right, now that we're official and we have a pilot's license, the Dvorak Curry Drone Corporation can go on out and we'll be the only ones exclusively to play...
	To play Win, Lose, or Drone.
	So, I would recommend the movie RoboCop, the first one.
	Yes.
	Which has this element in it with the automated kind of drone.
	They're not flying drones, but they're drones, as it were.
	Right.
	And then I want to go back and re-mention the Hayden commentary on drones, the ex-CIA guy, who was the most military one of late.
	He actually came out of the military.
	You know, Petraeus is too, obviously.
	But...
	I just thought that was weird, that he would make these statements about the illegality of these dronings.
	No, well, of course.
	But there's a lot going on with...
	I mean, the real problem with all of this is that it's not enough money.
	You see, these drones are really efficient.
	You know, you can get a nice drone that can shoot off some missiles for about $10-15 million, and it's just not enough people involved in all these contracts.
	You know, they don't like it.
	I was watching some C-SPAN, speaking of the military-industrial complex.
	And a guy named Frank Kendall, he's from the Pentagon, and I was blown away by this.
	He's been nominated as the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics, and he was at an event called the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
	This is my life.
	I'll watch what this guy has to say.
	It's very short.
	You know the Joint Strike Fighter?
	The F-35?
	Yeah, the one that can't land?
	Yeah, that would be the one.
	Now, the Joint Strike Fighter is like, I don't know, the project is 100%.
	Apparently they put the hook in the middle of it so it can't really land on an aircraft carrier.
	Something dumb like that.
	But it's hundreds of billions of dollars.
	And, you know, there's all kinds of countries bought it.
	I know the Netherlands bought into it, Gitmo Lowlands, and they paid a lot of money for the privilege to manufacture, like, I don't know.
	You know, a wingtip or something.
	This is a huge multinational project amongst NATO members to build this F-35.
	And here's what the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics says about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
	Putting the F-35 in production years before the first test flight was acquisition malpractice.
	It should not have been done.
	But we did it.
	So now, Dr.
	Carter first, and now I am dealing with...
	Malpractice.
	Acquisition malpractice.
	Oh, thanks.
	I like that word.
	Acquisition malpractice?
	Yeah.
	Thanks, everybody.
	That was your tax dollars that went into that acquisition malpractice.
	Anyone going to jail by any chance?
	No.
	No.
	Just...
	Makes me mad.
	I won't play it.
	I'll play it on Sunday.
	Remember those North Dakota farmers who got that drone called out on them?
	Yeah.
	It's too long.
	There's a lot more to that story, which I definitely want to do on Sunday.
	There's a...
	There's a thing I keep forgetting to mention.
	JC has a friend living in the Ukraine who is potentially going to become part of our organization.
	Oh, really?
	Well, I was just saying.
	Wait, wait.
	On the payroll?
	What meeting was this determined in?
	You'll see.
	The point is that there's a rumor, there's a rampant rumor in the Ukraine.
	Going around that says, and this could be planted, but it's definitely going around.
	It says that Germany is using either British company or some Russian company, someone somewhere, to print up boatloads of Deutschmarks.
	We've already talked about this a couple times, haven't we?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So here's, but anyway, so there's a lot of stuff about Germany and how great the place is on PBS. Uh-huh.
	And so I ran into this really idiotic piece that was done because they've got that woman, Margaret Warner.
	They sent her to Germany.
	And she's floating around and they're talking about, you know, how great the Germans are and how smart they are and how they export.
	The Germans export.
	The little country with one-tenth our size exports more than we do.
	It's a bunch of messages in these reports.
	But the one I got the biggest kick out of is the one I have listed here, the idiotic comment.
	To Germany's success lies in small to medium-sized family firms like this one that manufacture some highly specialized and indispensable piece of equipment.
	The Germans like to say, we make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.
	Have you ever heard him say that?
	I've never heard this.
	Clip of the day.
	Das ist der Tagesklip.
	So now, but here's the real irony of this piece.
	Wait a minute.
	No, no, no.
	Hold on.
	No, stop.
	I want to hear that again.
	I want to hear it again.
	To Germany's success lies in small to medium-sized family firms like this one that manufacture some highly specialized and indispensable piece of equipment.
	The Germans like to say, we make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Inside the thing.
	We make the thing.
	How many times did we make the thing?
	We make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.
	There's three uses.
	We make the thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.
	Okay.
	So we will translate that to German.
	Okay.
	And let's listen to this coming out of your BMW one of these days.
	We're doing what's in the inner thing, what's in the inner thing.
	It's not that simple.
	No, it's not.
	I like it in English better.
	Yeah, it's better in English.
	So here's the part that's idiotic.
	She's got this company, the small to medium family firm.
	Which company is it?
	Please, keep me...
	It's this company.
	The business is $1.5 billion.
	They make that giant drill that drills holes in the ocean.
	You know, that huge...
	The borer machine that dug out the tunnel under the, you know, the channel and all the, you know, that giant, monstrous machine.
	That's the little family-owned company.
	I'm thinking cheese.
	It's a family-owned, small family-owned firm.
	I'm thinking cheese or something.
	Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
	Then it's this company that drills that, you've never seen those things, right?
	Yeah, they're huge.
	I thought maybe it was like the company that makes the Russian babushka dolls or something.
	Yeah, no.
	No.
	It's a $1.5 billion drilling company.
	The thing that goes inside the thing that goes inside the thing.
	I already gave you a clip of the day for that.
	Thank you very much.
	No, it was very good.
	It was very, very good.
	Wow.
	Do you want to stay off topic?
	One more clip.
	Yeah, but then I've got to wrap it up with something outrageous.
	All right, you can wrap it up with something.
	This is outrageous.
	Oh, okay.
	So what to you is a gun?
	A gun?
	Yeah, a gun.
	What's a gun?
	You mean the definition of a gun, or what do I think of a good gun?
	Yeah, well, what's a gun?
	How would you define a gun?
	What's a gun?
	Something that you put a bullet in, and you pull the trigger, and it shoots that bullet up, and it can kill you, or hurt you.
	What's a fake gun?
	A fake gun is exactly that, only it doesn't shoot.
	Right, but it looks like a regular gun.
	And of course there's laws, for example, that if you have some sort of product that has a gun shape, you have to make it either yellow or day green or whatever.
	Right, yeah.
	So play this guns in school ridiculous report that I picked off off the TV. Officials at Cupertino High School say students should have known better.
	The school went into lockdown this morning after a janitor saw the handle of this gun sticking out of a backpack.
	When Sheriff's deputies arrived, they quickly determined it's a Nerf gun.
	Apparently, 30 students brought them to school to play a game called Assassin.
	School officials say no guns, real or fake, are allowed on campus.
	They say they plan to punish the students, but didn't provide any details.
	He says that he was hit over...
	That's good.
	A Nerf gun.
	It doesn't even look like a gun.
	It doesn't even look like a gun.
	It shoots little pieces of foam.
	And it's yellow.
	Meanwhile, President Obama is shooting a marshmallow gun in the White House.
	And that's okay?
	Yeah.
	And what, is a rubber band gun also something that's illegal?
	Because it's a fake gun.
	It's not a fake gun.
	A fake gun looks like a gun.
	It doesn't look like a Nerf gun.
	How about a caulking gun?
	This is the typical thing going on in the schools today, and it's a dumbed-down bunch of idiots that run these schools.
	Really, people.
	Homeschool.
	How about a caulking gun?
	That's a gun.
	It's illegal.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	How about a stapler gun?
	Illegal.
	You can't have a stapler gun.
	What other kinds of guns can we think of?
	There's all kinds of groovy guns.
	A nail gun?
	Well, a nail gun, you probably shouldn't take to school.
	But the compressor is kind of hard to put in your backpack, so...
	The whole thing is a fiasco.
	Yeah, homeschool.
	I'm in agreement there.
	I don't know if this jingle is going to make the cut.
	I don't think so.
	I couldn't understand a word he said.
	Vaccines.
	Two vaccine stories for you.
	The first one for Haiti, everybody.
	This is a report from your national treasure, NPR Radio.
	The cholera outbreak began near a United Nations peacekeeping base, housing Nepalese soldiers.
	The strain of cholera that raced across Haiti is nearly identical to the predominant strain in Southeast Asia.
	It's widely believed in Haiti that overflowing outhouses at the UN compound...
	We're the source of the deadly outbreak, and an investigation led by French researchers drew a similar conclusion.
	In the coming weeks, Partners in Health plans to launch an unprecedented and somewhat controversial vaccination campaign against the disease.
	Now, is there a vaccine that you're aware of that can stop cholera?
	I believe so.
	John Lasher says ultimately the way to eliminate cholera from Hades through building water and sewage treatment systems.
	But he says that could take years.
	While we're waiting, we know that there's a safe and effective oral cholera vaccine that can help prevent people from getting cholera again.
	By the way, did you hear what he said?
	While we're waiting...
	While we're waiting, we have this little thing.
	Why wouldn't we do that?
	I think it would be certainly expected anywhere else in the world.
	But the vaccination proposal has been criticized by some Haitians and questioned by some other aid agencies.
	Partners in Health is planning to use a relatively new vaccine, Sanchal.
	Because of limited global supply of the drug, as well as logistical concerns, Partners in Health is only planning to offer it to 100,000 people, or just 1% of the Haitian population.
	Sounds to me like there's a bonanza going on, John.
	Someone got the contract, Sanchal, which is a Swedish-made vaccine, only approved by the World Health Organization at the end of September of last year.
	Coincidentally, the UN who infected the country.
	Yes, thank you!
	World Health Organization, part of the United Nations, who infected everybody.
	It's made by Sanofi Pasteur, a subsidiary of Sanofi Pasteur.
	And the company...
	Here it is.
	It was developed by the International Vaccine Institute in Seoul with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
	Yeah, so if I could advise the people of Haiti, have them clean up your water.
	Have them give you a decent place to poop.
	And you might want to consider not taking the vaccine.
	Because I think that Bill and Melinda Gates are out to kill you.
	I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of them.
	Certainly if not if it's administered by a syringe.
	This is an oral vaccine.
	No, that's the alternative.
	This is the new one.
	Ducarol is the other one.
	Yeah.
	The most traditional one is Ducarol.
	Yeah, that's the oral one.
	That's made by...
	Why wouldn't they use the more traditional one?
	Money, baby.
	Money.
	It's Bill and Melinda Gates.
	Come on.
	It's money, dude.
	All the newer ones cost a lot more money.
	It doesn't make sense that you'd want to spend all that extra money.
	No, no, no.
	This is a money-making scam.
	This is money making.
	Well, they got to do something with all that money that they've collected.
	We got in the show.
	I'm just going to stick on vaccines for a second.
	In the show notes, you'll see a great new poster.
	You might see it at your local dentist, which is promoting getting the HPV vaccine because, you know.
	Wait a minute.
	You can now get it through your mouth.
	I knew you'd like that.
	What does this have to do with dental work?
	Well, it's an oral doctor, and if you're having oral sex, you can get HPV. So now you can get an HPV shot at your dentist.
	What?
	Yes.
	One of our producers took a screenshot.
	I knew you'd love it.
	Unbelievable.
	Here it is.
	Word of mouth.
	HPV and the changing face of oral cancer.
	And there's a little Asian kid there looking all bummed out.
	A boy, by the way, with HPV. Eh.
	A little Asian boy with the oral cancer at the dentist.
	HPV. Oh yeah.
	These guys, the sales guys are great.
	Boy, they are good.
	They know what they're doing.
	Okay.
	I'm going to wrap this up.
	I got one more.
	All right.
	I was going to stick on vaccines.
	That's why I wanted to wrap up the vaccines.
	Oh, yeah.
	Wrap up the vaccines.
	I'll wrap up the vaccines.
	Of course, I've been focusing on the Leroy, which is now almost 20.
	It used to be the Leroy 12.
	This is upstate New York, where all these girls all of a sudden had ticks and twitches and a new guy on the scene.
	So whatever it is, we've tested only Gardasil.
	We've tested Gardasil, and therefore, it can't be a vaccine.
	Didn't test any other swine flu, anything else, any other flu shots, nothing else.
	No other immunizations.
	We tested Gardasil because we actually have to cover up the fact that it's because of Gardasil.
	Now they bring out this new doctor, a new expert.
	And he is saying this is PANS, which used to be known as PANDAS, P-A-N-D-A-S. And that stands for...
	Hold on a second.
	I want to give it to you so you can look it up.
	Yeah, here it comes.
	I'm looking at the revision there.
	Sorry.
	Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections.
	That's what it used to be called.
	Now it's just pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder.
	So they've changed the name.
	But it's very important if you look that up in the book of knowledge.
	And what that is is an unknown.
	We think you get some kind of infection, and because of this infection, then you develop Tourette's-like ticks.
	But we really don't know too much about it.
	We really don't know too much about it.
	It's crazy, this panda's disease.
	It's just like, who knows?
	But that's what it is, according to this doctor.
	Listen.
	Scott and Mary Alice, this is a downstate doctor who was called in by some parents who did not accept the initial diagnosis of conversion disorder.
	Dr.
	Rosario Trifoletti has said all along that he thinks the mystery illness in Leroy was caused by an infection.
	Tonight he announced his preliminary findings do match up with that initial hypothesis.
	Trifoletti made his announcement tonight on the Dr.
	Drew show on the cable network HLN. So you know it's a cover-up.
	Sid and Leroy are showing signs that they could be suffering from pediatric acute neuropsychiatric syndrome.
	Now that's also known as PANS or formerly known as PANDAS. It's an autoimmune disorder caused by an infection which attacks parts of the brain.
	I can tell you that they are testing positive for, each one is testing for either streptococcus or mycoplasma, which is our known triggers of the pandas-pans syndrome.
	Now again, Dr.
	Trifoletti was called in by some of the parents in Leroy who were not satisfied with that diagnosis of conversion disorder that they got at Dent Neurological in Amherst.
	But the jury is still out on this, and there are some parents who are satisfied with that diagnosis.
	Today we heard from one Buffalo doctor who says social media might...
	Now listen to this.
	This is where it gets really good for the cover-up.
	...actually aid the spread of conversion disorder.
	Here's what he had to say this afternoon.
	When you're being exposed also through videos and uploaded images to the same kind of phenomena, if you are a person who is vulnerable in some way because of your own stresses and anxieties, and in particular if you identify with that individual, I think there is a potential for that to then create further potential spread beyond the area that was initially involved.
	Okay, so this is really good.
	So now, social media is spreading the disease.
	And by the way, whenever you have a British guy come on with it, there's some evidence that social media, if you are susceptible to this...
	So what does CBS News do?
	And regarding the Leroy story, we want to tell you about something that we've decided here at Two on Your Side.
	The doctors involved in this case have said that part of the problem is that the media is constantly replaying video of these girls on the news, and the stress of being on TV, even after the interviews have ended, are making things worse for them.
	Well, Two on Your Side not only takes its journalism seriously, we also take our role in our community seriously.
	And if not showing the teens and their tics will help, then we're in.
	And we've decided, until or unless some other diagnosis is realized, that we will not be showing the video of the girls and their tics.
	It's like...
	Cover up!
	Like, oh, oh, oh, we gotta really temper this, guys?
	So let's see if this spreads to Dr.
	Drew also saying, oh, no, we can't show it because that just spreads the infection.
	I was on MTV for seven and a half years with my Tourette's.
	Hey, raise your hand if it gave you Tourette's.
	Hey.
	Hey.
	Give me a prediction.
	We have seen these sorts of things before, and they all have a lifespan, and then they die in the media.
	And nobody talks about the resolution.
	It never happens.
	No, of course not.
	What do you give it?
	A month?
	Two weeks?
	Not even.
	It's over.
	Done.
	No video, no story.
	You think there'll be nothing next week?
	No.
	No video, no story.
	By this time next Thursday, I'm putting it in the book.
	No video, no story.
	No video, no story.
	If it bleeds, it leads.
	No video, no story.
	Okay, good point.
	I've got only one last little thing, which is kind of, I don't know, it's kind of weird.
	Show us your tick, slave!
	You know, the Maldives guy, there was a junta, a coup.
	A junta?
	Is that like a puta?
	This island state of Maldives.
	Yeah, which used to be a nice vacation spot.
	Yeah, probably still is.
	But they had this president and they ousted.
	Apparently there was a coup d'etat and the vice president took over and he said, I didn't ever have a gun.
	But the guy, the president says, there was a gun to my head I had to leave.
	It was a bunch of bull crap, okay?
	Okay.
	I've only run into one story that I've seen.
	I could be wrong.
	Maybe it's around someplace else, but it's kind of like the Cuban 50th anniversary again on Democracy Now!, They covered a little factoid that I just thought was fascinating.
	In 2008, Nasheed became the first democratically elected leader of the Maldives.
	He gained international fame for his passionate warnings about the dangers of climate change to low-lying islands.
	His reputation was tarnished after the publication of a cable by WikiLeaks that suggested the Maldives signed on to the US-backed Copenhagen Climate Accord in exchange for $50 million.
	What?!
	Hey, wait a minute.
	Can I get some of that?
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Climate change.
	Give me 50 million bucks.
	What?
	Is that unbelievable?
	What?
	Just remember that period of time, too, when they were talking about, oh, the islands are getting wiped out, our little islands.
	Oh, no.
	Wait a minute.
	I'm sorry.
	I was completely wrong.
	It was a misfire.
	This, my friends, is without a doubt.
	Cliff of the day.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	The Maldives may no longer exist.
	It's going to be underwater for $50 million.
	For $50 million, they'll say anything.
	So will I. Hell yeah.
	Wow.
	I mean, it was just a jaw-dropper for me.
	It was like, what a bunch of...
	What is this world coming to?
	That is fantastic.
	Oh my goodness.
	That's why you don't want WikiLeaks around.
	Oh my goodness.
	What a great deal.
	I think I will get me some of that.
	Well, I can't top that, man.
	I can't.
	I think Mickey's been to the Maldives a couple of times.
	I think she hung out with the prince or his son or something.
	Something weird.
	I'll have to get the story from her.
	Before they elected this clown.
	But anyway, okay.
	Wow, that's...
	I'm blown away by that.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	And that was reported everywhere, wasn't it?
	Yeah, but this little nugget?
	Hmm, interestingly enough, we don't get any reporting on that at all.
	How can it be?
	Wow.
	Just a... 33.
	That's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	All right, just code we're working on as we get out of here and we start preparing for our Sunday show, which will be the last chance to dance for your 214 donation for Valentine Nothing says I love you better than a donation to No Agenda.
	So we don't know exactly what the code is all about.
	However, cold kills 33 more in Europe.
	Dam breaks in Bulgaria.
	So there's some code reason there.
	I guess that's part of the gas cabal with a 33.
	And this was actually from Fortune magazine, which surprised me.
	Forbes, I'm sorry.
	The Federal Reserve has made it official.
	After its latest two-day meetings, it has announced its goal to devalue the dollar by 33% over the next 20 years.
	Hello?
	That's gotta be an investment message we're not onto.
	What the hell's that all about?
	Yeah.
	Well, they did the calculation, and this is about an increase in price level of 2%.
	I don't understand this stuff.
	I'm a VJ. I'm not an economist.
	We're going to look into this.
	But the headline literally reads, The Federal Reserve's Explicit Goal, Devalue the Dollar 33%.
	I mean, there's got to be a lot of guys reading their morning paper going, Oh, Martha, shit!
	There's a 33, bitch!
	We gotta get in on this!
	Bonanza time!
	You know what I'm saying?
	Would you please talk to Horowitz about that?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	It may have something to do with propping up the euro just by even saying this.
	It could be bull.
	Anyway, we certainly hope you enjoyed today's program.
	We hope you got something you can't get anywhere else uninterrupted by annoying commercials or compromised by commercial interest.
	The only interest we have at heart is you.
	You are not the product.
	Our show is the product and we hope you enjoyed it as a useful and tasty product.
	And if so, please consider supporting this program so we can keep it on the air two days a week by going to dvorak.org slash na and showing us your support with a donation.
	And of course, the palindrome Valentine's Day is 214, and we look forward to that.
	Everything in the show notes at 381.nashownotes.com, including all the clips and some PDFs and the maps and everything.
	And until Thursday, coming to you from Camp Mofo here in the Drone Star State in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I have nothing creative to say, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's okay, because we love you that way.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Two scripts for the perfect pufferizer and sensor.
