	You're mentally ill, lady.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, February 12th, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 382.
	This is no agenda.
	Doing my best to ignore the distraction of the week here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the Drone Star State.
	Coming to you from Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where things never change.
	Hey, we started the show at 9.09.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Yeah, there must be some secret Illuminati meeting to that.
	909, everybody.
	And in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	And in the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	And to all ships at sea and boots on the ground.
	Feats in the air, drones overhead, earthquake machines in the oceans, aliens underground, moon bases on the dark side, spooks in the wires, bankers in the government, special ops in the sand, clones in the White House, shills in the Congress, shills on the hills, stooges in the media, hackers in the ballot machines, sysadmins on the inside, producers on the job, knights in the service, sysadmins on the inside, producers on the job, knights in the service, formulas in the propagations, memes in the cold, and fractals in And all of our human resources in the chat room at noagentachat.net.
	Do they have a list they're reading?
	Noagendastream.com.
	No, I just made that up, man.
	That's off at the top of my head.
	That's the kind of professional I am.
	And the list that I got.
	So I'm really bummed because I played this awesome little ditty on the pre-stream before we start the show and we do it live.
	Which we do every single Thursday and Sunday morning, 9am Pacific time.
	But I was on the backup server because of all the problems we had on Thursday.
	So I'd like to play it again and I think you will enjoy this as well, John.
	It's a little ditty one of our producers put together.
	How long is it?
	30 seconds.
	Oh, I thought it was that long song you were playing.
	Get out there and whoop!
	Obama's behind the cow!
	Get out there!
	That's one of the more musical things we've received.
	He said, Who was that?
	Because he's obviously a DJ. I don't know.
	I forget who sent it.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	He did a couple other things.
	I thought that when he was like, hey man, I'm just trying something out.
	Hope you like it.
	I'm like, like it?
	I love it.
	It's pretty good, yeah.
	Are you kidding me?
	Finish the show with that.
	Finish the show with it.
	I will.
	It's awesome.
	The Reverend Manning.
	Whoop it with the Constitution!
	Whoop it, whoop it, whoop it!
	Well, in retrospect, the clip I played last week, there's a guy sent a mix between...
	We had this guy, Ceylon, that was talking about what's going on in Syria.
	And so, John Opper sent in a clip pointing out the fact that this guy sounds exactly like General Ackbar.
	From the Star Wars movie.
	Did he mix it up?
	Okay, let me listen to this.
	One has to see this as a concerted attack assault on not only Syria, but Iran as well.
	You can see here the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor.
	Although the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism.
	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.
	It is protected by an energy shield, which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor.
	The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted.
	Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter while the fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor.
	There you go.
	Proof that you've been preconditioned for this to happen.
	That's great.
	It's him.
	It's totally him.
	In fact, he could have said those words, and we've still been like, yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know, it's so funny, because after the Mammoth Leviathan explanation, I actually thought to myself, you know what, I'm going to cut that down to a YouTube video.
	Because it was like an hour that we discussed the...
	I'm just calling it the Leviathan Project.
	People probably in a few episodes from now will be like, what?
	What the hell are they talking about?
	But if you haven't heard it, episode 381, we had a pretty good conversation about what all this bull crap in the Mediterranean, the Middle East is all about.
	It's all about the gas pipelines.
	And so I'm sitting there actually editing, and I always have, here in the studio, I actually have two satellite feeds, and I've got my iPad running CNN, and I happen to be watching Sky News as well.
	And the only thing we didn't discuss was this.
	I'm like, oh crap, now we've got to talk about it on the show so I can put it into this montage I'm making.
	Two explosions have killed at least 25 people and injured over 170 others in Syria's second largest city, Aleppo.
	I'm like, oh man, we know that the pipeline that goes into the Arab pipeline that goes to Turkey, that it has to go from Homs, where all of this, I'm sorry, where Assad is killing, slaughtering the Syrian slaughter.
	He's killing his own people.
	That it has to go through Aleppo.
	Like, oh, we should have just said, watch for something to happen in Aleppo.
	We completely forgot, and there it is.
	It would have been in the red book.
	We would have nailed it.
	We would have totally nailed it.
	The funny thing is, this was an explosion.
	Of course, it was the pipeline construction that exploded.
	And, you know, Syrian soldiers, predominantly, who died...
	And this report says, okay, well, we got an explosion in Aleppo.
	Now back to Homs.
	And now there are reports that Syrian forces are preparing to mount a final assault on the rebel city of Homs.
	It's like, okay, something happened up there.
	Please, please, whatever you do, don't look over there.
	There's nothing to see there.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that.
	Please, continue to look at Homs.
	Homs?
	Hey, homies, Homs.
	It was just phenomenal to see these things unfold.
	And now, of course, I'm like, okay, Whitney Houston's death, I'm sure it's related to the pipeline somehow.
	It's like everything I see is like, how does it relate to the pipeline?
	How?
	Well, it doesn't.
	I'm good.
	You may have nailed something.
	No, I'm good.
	I'm good.
	I'm not that good.
	The Whitney Houston thing is...
	I mean, everyone who listens to the show knows that there's some basic things that we would assert, which is, you know, she just finished a movie.
	Yes.
	It's probably a turkey.
	Sparkle.
	Well, actually, you know what the movie's about?
	Yeah, it's about her.
	Yeah, it's literally...
	A drug-addicted woman who became a star.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Three sisters form a successful singing group and must deal with the fallout of fame and drugs.
	Yeah.
	So that movie probably is a turkey that needed a little boost.
	Yeah.
	Also, somebody pointed out in this morning's email that on the upcoming Tuesday Glee...
	Yeah, they're doing a whole Whitney Houston special.
	I don't know about you, but you can't turn around this stuff that fast.
	No, it's so funny because I was sitting here with Christina last night because she's visiting and Miss Mickey is in LA doing some work.
	And so I'm like, oh, really?
	This is all about the Grammys and...
	Did she get a boost?
	Well, there's some other things that I would mention here.
	She also was just offered, and it's funny because two days ago there was news that she was offered a judge's position on the X Factor.
	Listen, I'm telling you, just that alone, when it comes to the war between X Factor, American Idol, and The Voice...
	I can see it would be worth it to kill her, not to have her as a judge.
	If she was a judge on The X Factor, I'd watch.
	That'd be pretty funny.
	So I'm sure that alone would be worth it just to kill her.
	And Christina's so funny.
	I'm like, well, do you really want to listen to my conspiracy theory?
	She says, Dad, that's not a conspiracy theory.
	That's marketing.
	I'm like, I love you so much.
	You're so smart.
	But even before it came out, even before I saw interviews with Ken Ehrlich, who I know, who's the guy who usually used to direct all these shows.
	I don't know if he's still directing or just producing.
	I was like, okay, this is really obvious.
	This is to promote Jennifer Hudson.
	And you watch.
	I said, she'll be doing the big tribute to Whitney.
	And Christina's like, how do you know?
	I said, well, this is how it goes.
	This is exactly the marketing.
	In fact, Piers Morgan...
	The shill.
	Had Clive Davis on.
	Clive Davis is the...
	I think he actually loved Whitney Houston for a while.
	Although he's gay.
	But loved as in a fatherly love.
	He was on Piers Morgan with Jennifer Hudson.
	What does this lady rank?
	She really ranks right up there.
	For me...
	I've been known to be involved with divas, whether it started with D.M. Warwick, which led to Aretha Franklin, and then it led to Whitney and Annie Lennox.
	When I saw that audition...
	By the way, it's Annie Lennox.
	For someone you claim to have discovered, at least get her name right, Clive.
	...for that movie part, I saw a depth and a range and a soulfulness that really ranks at the top...
	Level, and that's why we've been working together ever since.
	I mean, I've always assumed, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be hard to beat Whitney at her peak.
	Hard, right?
	When I hear you sometimes, I do genuinely feel, and I'm not as expert like Clive is, but I feel she's nearly there, maybe as good now.
	Listen, it's hard to make comparisons.
	For years, you know, working with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, I've always said, well, can Whitney compare with Aretha?
	They're old-timers, and Jennifer definitely has that potential.
	No, it doesn't matter.
	It's a win-win for Clive.
	Because now, of course, Whitney being worth a lot more dead than she is alive.
	Jennifer Hudson will shine at the Grammys tonight.
	And just to end this topic, because it's annoying me to no end, because all of a sudden nothing else was happening in the world.
	The only clip that you will not hear on the news...
	And I couldn't decide what to play.
	If I was going to play, you know, her not being able to hit the notes anymore, she was all cracked out, or this stellar piece that is often referred to in her interview with Diane Sawyer, but no one plays anymore because, of course, we have to honor Whitney Houston, who was a crackhead.
	First of all, let's do one thing to be straight.
	Crack is cheap.
	I made too much money to ever sell crack.
	Let's get that straight, okay?
	We don't do crack.
	We don't do that.
	Crack is whack.
	Yeah, so was that clip, unfortunately.
	Now, that was her saying, uh, crack is for cheap.
	We're too rich.
	We don't do crack.
	Crack is whack.
	So, uh, I don't feel bad for Whitney at all.
	In hindsight, though, uh, I was thinking, you know, we started our careers around the same time, and I worked with her When I was 19, I think she was 20, maybe I was 20, she was 21, and she was on the show I was presenting at the time in Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	And this was when she had her first hit, I Want to Dance with Somebody.
	And I recall thinking, wow, she's really strange.
	She was a complete, in hindsight now I realize she was of course an NK Ultra subject.
	She was completely mind-controlled.
	Did whatever her handlers told her to do.
	Not a single smile.
	And we were young.
	When you're young, you're supposed to be like, man, isn't this cool?
	Can you believe this shit?
	This is awesome.
	Look at what we're doing.
	We're on TV. You're singing.
	No, just nothing.
	Just a complete, non-blink stare.
	And if anything, this was an Illuminati sacrifice.
	So...
	Why don't you save this for the second half of this show?
	Well, I was still on Syria.
	You wanted to get the Whitney thing in there.
	So we're done with her.
	Okay, good.
	So let me get back to Leviathan.
	I was expecting you to come up with the Hollywood Whackers.
	No, I'm telling you, it's an Illuminati sacrifice.
	This is to change the thinking and the mindset and the energy of the world.
	Something very important is going to happen.
	Save it for the second half.
	Well, you asked me again.
	Stop asking me then.
	Alright.
	So back to the real news of what is happening with this huge oil discovery in Israel.
	Man, Lucifer Clinton, she literally didn't waste any time.
	This week has been a very, very, very busy week for her.
	You okay there?
	Go on.
	Now, of course, we know that we're going to have some form of transport of this gas through Cyprus into Greece.
	And I've got tons that I can talk about.
	We'll touch on some of it briefly.
	I don't want to repeat everything we did on 381.
	But guess who shows up in Washington?
	Oh, boy!
	We have the foreign minister from Cyprus.
	With Lucifer.
	And she does one of her little clippity-clop things where they both come out through the doors that open up like Darth Vader's entering.
	And here comes Lucifer.
	I have the clippity-clop sounds.
	Very interesting.
	First we'll listen.
	It's very short.
	It's a minute in total.
	As Lucifer starts off with...
	Her reasoning, how important it is that the Cyprus foreign minister is in Washington, and then what the Cypriot foreign minister says is, I mean, if you now relate that to our pipeline theory, it's pretty astounding the things that are coming out of her pie hole.
	Well, I am delighted to welcome another foreign minister, and one with whom we work closely, and the relationship between our two countries is deepening and broadening all of the time.
	Deepening and broadening all of the time.
	Yeah, gee, I wonder why.
	Is that because your buddies there of Noble Energy are in Cyprus, Hillary?
	Is that why it's so important?
	We're, you know, very pleased that we work together on regional issues as well as bilateral.
	Regional issues?
	Okay, you mean like the big gas field in Israel, Lucifer there?
	And we will be discussing those in great depth.
	It's all about the depth, by the way, which I think is funny.
	It's deep, depth, it's all down, low, yeah, underground, the pipeline.
	And I want to welcome you here, Foreign Minister, and thank you for coming.
	Madam Secretary, thank you very much.
	Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be here with you and discuss, I think, on a very interesting and important agenda that we have.
	Ah, those cameras are so annoying.
	And why don't they mic these people?
	These are digital cameras.
	You don't have to make that much racket.
	No, they don't have to make any noise at all.
	It's so annoying.
	Somebody mic'd the cameras.
	Yeah.
	Well, I guess it's so we don't hear because she's giving a lot away.
	Dealing with issues of common interest.
	Issues of common interest.
	What could that be, John?
	What common interest do we have with Cyprus?
	None.
	Concerns primarily in Cyprus question.
	Issues about our presidency to the European Union.
	The Middle East and our neighborhood in the north part of Africa.
	Oh, it's all about North Africa and the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
	Uprising.
	And the Arab Uprising?
	You mean all about that?
	Israeli gas?
	Yeah, Arab Spring.
	All these are very interesting issues and I'm forward to discussing them with you.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Oh, the cameras are so annoying.
	I didn't even realize how annoying it is.
	So, you know, along with this comes some interesting news.
	There's now, you know, we've been talking about the pipeline.
	Cyprus is probably going to get a natural gas terminal.
	It'll be a floating natural gas terminal.
	All of this in the show notes, of course, 382.nashownotes.com.
	Even more interesting, though...
	Today, or actually yesterday, came word that the Nabucco pipeline, this is the pipeline which was Europe's flagship project, the gas pipeline to the Caspian Sea, is definitely off.
	The project is dead.
	Gee, I wonder why it's dead.
	And what's even crazier, these guys are so into getting this done that they're now talking about The world's longest undersea power cable.
	Cyprus could become an energy bridge between the European and Asian continents by installing a 540 nautical mile undersea power cable that would transport 2000 megawatts of power at a depth of approximately 2000 meters.
	That's pretty rare, I'd have to say.
	They really want to get this power into Europe, and they really want to do it quickly.
	It seems like that's a really easy...
	I mean, I don't know.
	I don't know about undersea power cables.
	I can't imagine somebody blowing nothing up.
	You'd have a lot of electrocuted fish.
	Be fish forever, that's for sure.
	Maybe it's down there just to block the fish from coming in from the Stargate.
	Thank you.
	And then comes news.
	Yeah, really.
	That there will be, I'm sorry, the offshore Israel liquid, liquefied natural gas infrastructure contract has been awarded to an Italian firm.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	An Italian firm.
	So all eyes now on Italy, because if we're already bringing in the new oligarchs in Greece, who will take over the infrastructure, Italy will be next.
	It's not going to be Portugal.
	It's not going to be Spain.
	We have to take over Italy.
	And who shows up in Washington this week, John?
	Oh, my goodness.
	The attaché from Italy.
	Yes, the Italian foreign minister with Lucifer doing her clippity-clop.
	Yes.
	Clippity-clop.
	Clippity-clop.
	Fucking cameras.
	Well, good afternoon, and we are delighted to be welcoming the Prime Minister to the White House this afternoon for his meeting with President Obama, and the Foreign Minister, who is well known in Washington.
	Well known?
	Oh yeah, we know him quite well.
	Here to the State Department in its new capacity.
	The United States and Italy have such a strong friendship and alliance, and we are working on a full range of important issues.
	Very important issues.
	Hmm.
	What could those be?
	Pizza imports.
	Hmm.
	From our common efforts in Afghanistan to our concerns over Syria to, of course, the economic issues that will be the topic of the conversation.
	As we take over all your crap.
	With the President.
	But I want to underscore how confident we are in Italy.
	In Italy's future.
	In the extraordinary commitment that Prime Minister Monti and his government are bringing to the challenges confronting the Italian people and in the Italian people themselves.
	So it is with great personal pleasure that I welcome you back, Minister.
	Wow.
	Is she blowing him or what?
	And, you know, it's like, please, this is a, you know, the Monty, of course, is a Goldman Sachs shill who was brought in.
	And if you relate this to how the power has to flow from Greece through Italy, it makes total sense that Italy is next.
	Thank you very much, our Secretary.
	It's a great pleasure.
	It's an honor to be here at the State Department.
	And I believe that we're going to have a very interesting conversation about political issues, which are...
	Yeah, right.
	I'm sure we talk about political issues.
	No, about divvying up the goods.
	...a common concern to both our countries and where we are involved.
	You know, we are particularly engaged in Mediterranean issues.
	Mediterranean issues?
	Hmm.
	You just have to replace...
	And every single time one of these douchebags says, political, just think commercial.
	If they say, you know, the people think us.
	You know, just replace all those words.
	Yeah, no, the funny thing, you know, I was thinking about this over the last couple of days, and...
	Sarah Palin used to brag about how it was set up in Alaska where the people got the money.
	They had a lot of oil up there that gets pulled out and it gets divvied up.
	Everybody gets a check for a couple grand at least.
	Everybody in the whole state.
	And their tax rates are low because it helps favor the taxes.
	You have a natural resource that's specific to that state.
	And since we are a federal-style government where the states have these powers, you just say, hey, this is stuff that belongs to the people of the state, and they share it.
	Even though, you know, you can say, well, that's just a bunch of communists.
	It's socialists.
	Communists.
	Commies, damn it.
	It's communists.
	But the thing is that...
	It belongs to the people.
	Of course it does.
	It belongs.
	And California has always irked me because even though...
	And I'd worked for an oil company, Union Oil of California.
	And I always thought it was unfair that we not only had oil that was being pulled out of the ground, just underneath everybody, and privately owned, and we not only got no benefits from this as a state, we got very little tax income because we're broke.
	But they would also have the highest gas prices.
	I mean, during the crisis in the 70s and the one more recently, our gas prices, like right now, it's like $4 a gallon.
	It's just like we pay more.
	We get screwed twice.
	It's unbelievable.
	You know, and this is why you wound up at the end of your career doing this show and you're not like some elitist with a billion dollars because your thinking is all wrong.
	Yeah, no, my thinking is totally wrong.
	I'm a communist.
	It's stupid.
	It's stupid.
	I'm a stupid communist.
	Stupid communist.
	Now listen.
	So it's like these countries that have always had that idea.
	I mean, Kuwait shares the wealth with its citizens.
	They have, you know, its higher standard of living.
	Hey, citizens.
	Yeah.
	Saudi Arabia, every time they have some issues going on, they just write a check to everybody.
	Hey, calm down, people.
	Here's the check.
	What do you want?
	Five grand?
	Five grand?
	Shut you up?
	Okay, five grand.
	So they do that.
	We don't do any of that because we're taught that this is not right.
	It should all be owned by a guy who scams everybody because he's got the government on his side.
	But some of these countries, like Greece...
	As we point out in the last show, and to a lesser extent Italy, but definitely Cyprus, they always had this common ownership idea, but now they're getting screwed out of it by the true elitists, the people who really run the world.
	30 more seconds of the foreign minister from Italy.
	He's also talking about the Arab Springs.
	So it's all code for, we got it, we're in, we're in the pocket.
	Oh yeah, we have an understanding, sure you do.
	Thank you all so much.
	It's like applause.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's like, good job, boy.
	Good job.
	All that camera action.
	What kind of shots do they expect to get?
	Yeah, really.
	And why is it so loud?
	And why aren't they mic'd?
	Yeah, it's very annoying.
	So, of course, the stupid slaves in Greece are rioting and protesting once again.
	And this is about the new package from the Troika.
	And it's gotten pretty bad in Greece.
	But of course, the Greek government doesn't actually give a rat's ass about the people.
	They care about the bailout package.
	And I looked at the package.
	We all talk about it.
	And they just talk about, oh, the money, the money, the austerity.
	And I'm like, well, what actually is in this package that they have to sign?
	And I was able to find a list.
	And here it is from Reuters.
	So there's fiscal adjustment.
	Before any funds are dispersed under the bailout, the government must pass a supplementary budget, including spending cuts.
	Bank recapitalizations, i.e., give money to the banks, taxpayer money to the banks.
	And then, here it is, privatizations.
	This is part of the mandate.
	From the European Union and the Troika Starfleet Command.
	The Troika being the IMF, the European Central Bank, and what is the third one in the Troika?
	I don't know.
	Darth Vader.
	Council?
	Darth Vader.
	Or Darth Vader.
	Here it is.
	Cumulative privatization receipts.
	It should be at least 4.5 billion euros by the end of 2012, 7.5 billion by the end of 2013, 12.12 billion by the end of 2014, and 15 billion by the end of 2015.
	An initial privatization target of 50 billion euros should be achieved over the medium term.
	Point two.
	Increased powers for Greece's privatization agency to sell assets in pieces or liquidate it if it cannot be sold in its current form.
	It's very important, this little ditty here.
	And the third point, the list of companies whose full or partial privatization will be launched in 2012 include gas company DEPA, gas grid operator DESFA, and the refiner Hellenic Petroleum.
	So there it is.
	It's black and white.
	Forced on the people that their ownership of these about to make a lot of money operations is now done.
	And then I see, and I'm like, oh, okay, so they got more power, the privatization agency.
	Well, it turns out in July...
	Greece named a new team that will head up the privatizations agency that is set up to undertake these billions of euros and at the sale of billions of euros.
	So who's in it?
	Well, let's see.
	Finance Minister, blah, blah, blah, picked EuroBank Equities Executive, Kostas Mitropoulos, as the agency's managing director.
	So that's, let me see, is that a banker?
	Yeah, that's a banker.
	A private bank, I might add.
	He also named Giannis Koukiadis, a law professor, and former minister and European Parliament deputy as board chairman.
	This is getting pretty good.
	We've got some really partial guys on here.
	This sounds really good.
	Other board members, Andreas Koukiadis.
	Toprens' former CEO of Hellenic Post.
	So they'll probably sell off the post office.
	And former chief executive of Athens Water.
	Yeah, of course.
	Don't forget, we're trying to do the same thing here with our post office.
	Yes, of course.
	But now when you look at Greece, you just say, oh, that's the new Russia.
	Everything fits.
	No, the Russian model worked very well for certain groups of people that were well-connected.
	Look, I'm well-connected.
	I need to get something for all the work I've done for you guys.
	Yep.
	Everyone's connected and they're doing it right on the backs of the slaves.
	And they give them all kinds of little things like elections.
	Oh, you can pretend to elect somebody.
	And all kinds of little...
	Oh, no.
	The public is just completely out to lunch on this whole thing.
	All the protesters, they don't know anything.
	They just throw stuff and get it out of their system.
	The real troublemakers get isolated and thrown in jail.
	Or worse.
	Shut up, slave.
	It's almost like a honeypot.
	And I had mentioned on the previous episode about how all this relates to the Arab Spring and that Egypt's pipeline had been blown up as well.
	Actually, I found an article as I was researching for my video.
	Egypt's gas export pipeline in 2011 was attacked ten times.
	Ten times!
	It is so obvious what is going on.
	And then just to make it completely crazy, I think you call it recursion.
	Maybe we call it fractal.
	But the script leaked out for the reality show.
	That is this interview with Assad.
	I'm sure you saw this.
	Maybe you didn't.
	Is this the one that you played on the last show?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	So what happened is Anonymous, oh, those awesome dudes at Anonymous, whoever they may be, apparently hacked into the Syrian Ministry of Presidential Affairs email system and exposed emails which showed that the apparently hacked into the Syrian Ministry of Presidential Affairs email system and exposed emails which showed that the Assad regime is out to propagandize Americans who are so stupid So this was so mind-boggling.
	I want to play this report from Wolf Blitzer.
	And what's crazy about it is here's a report that is supposed to tell you that you are...
	That you were being manipulated by the Assad regime, but of course this is actually manipulation in itself, and we're buying into it.
	This is how stupid we are.
	The Syrian opposition group is reporting as many as 137 deaths at the hands of government forces today, and now we're getting a shocking inside look at how the Syrian government is allegedly spinning the crackdown to the outside world.
	The source?
	Secret emails posted...
	Secret emails!
	Secret, John!
	They're secret.
	They were secret.
	If they were secret, they would be called cables.
	They're secret emails.
	...by the notorious hacking group, Anonymous.
	Brian Todd is here.
	He's working the story for us.
	So, Brian, what exactly are you finding out?
	Wolf, one person we know who is connected to that hacker group, Anonymous says...
	One person we know...
	You mean your CIA handler?
	Is that who you're talking about?
	It could be anybody.
	You can say that yourself.
	That's so funny.
	I'm going to say that all the time.
	When I was talking to Anonymous the other day...
	These emails appear to be authentic, and if so, it does not look like Bashar Assad's aides have a very high opinion of Americans.
	It's days before a big interview with an American network.
	Barbara Walters.
	And Bashar al-Assad is being coached.
	To spin this crackdown, 1Aid writes, don't talk reform.
	Americans won't care or understand that.
	The aide advises the Syrian president to talk about, quote, mistakes.
	Blame his own police.
	American psyche can be easily manipulated when they hear that there are, quote, mistakes done, and now we are, quote, fixing it.
	So this is the point where my mind is boggling.
	I say, am I really hearing a report meant to manipulate the American people that is actually saying that someone tried to manipulate the American people?
	It is so mind-boggling this is taking place.
	Here's what Assad then said about the crackdown in that early December interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.
	This is individual, and that's what I describe as individual mistakes.
	Okay.
	Done by the military or done by whom?
	We don't know everything.
	In some cases, done by the police.
	in some cases done by civilians.
	That email on what to say was apparently from Sherzad Jafari, press attache at Syria's mission to the UN, to one of Assad's press aides in Damascus.
	The hacker group Anonymous posted the email passwords of top Syrian officials.
	Hackers like this one cited by Foreign Policy magazine claimed to have downloaded the emails and posted them online.
	CNN has seen the emails.
	They appear legitimate, though we cannot independently verify their authenticity.
	The email apparently from Jaffari advises Assad on a quote to give.
	Syria doesn't have a policy to torture people.
	Says he can contrast that with the US and mention Abu Ghraib.
	Referring to Assad as H.E. for His Excellency, it says, at one point, H.E. was viewed as a hero, and in other times, H.E. was the bad guy.
	Americans love these kinds of things and get convinced by it.
	They think that the American public is really stupid.
	No, they're right.
	They're absolutely right.
	They're totally right.
	But so what?
	Everybody does this.
	I got a punchline.
	A president who says he was once imprisoned and tortured by the regime.
	This is what they taught us at the school.
	The Americans, they know nothing about the world.
	They really enslave their people.
	The worker has no rights.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	In the U.S. And they really think so.
	They think that the American is easy to fool.
	Yes!
	David Kenner of Foreign Policy Magazine says the email reflects an amateurish effort to present serious case to the world.
	What is their current media strategy?
	Honestly, I think at this point, they think they have lost the Western media.
	They've lost the United States.
	All right.
	So, of course, I went and looked at these so-called emails that were posted to Pastebin by Anonymous.
	And...
	Very interesting, because if you actually read the email that was sent, which, you know, here's how it starts off.
	Hello, dear, comma.
	So I guess this person forgot to say, and this, by the way, is coming from the Syrian Attaché at the United Nations, the most corrupt organization in the world, where the script was written.
	Now, I'm going to read this opening paragraph to you, John, and I think you'll agree with me that something else is going on.
	Please let me know if you need anything else.
	Barbara will be here on the 2nd, and the interview will be on the 4th because she's leaving on the 6th, so that would give you some time to do the editing.
	Thank you.
	They're just handing the script from the United Nations.
	This is not propaganda.
	This was a script that was written in collaboration with ABC News.
	They had a meeting at the United Nations and said, okay, listen, and this is from the person at the United Nations saying, Barbara's going to be here.
	I guess this person means in Syria.
	Here's the stuff you should talk about because we've already done the pre-interview and you'll have some time to edit it all together.
	This is the stuff that's important to manipulate the American people.
	It's the script.
	It's not like some big, crazy conspiracy.
	It's just a script like everybody does.
	And Assad is a player.
	Like Barbara Walters is a player.
	Well, she's more a pawn, but she's a player.
	But yet this is spun into like, oh, the propaganda is crazy.
	They fooled Barbara Walters.
	And of course, we're on to this crap.
	And just about the time that we're starting to understand what's going on and expose it, then all of a sudden, let's change the news and kill Whitney Houston.
	So, uh...
	I'm looking at some articles about some previous public relations ploys by the Syrians.
	I'm wondering who, there's obviously two groups involved, and I think the oil interests may be one of them, or the gas interests, whatever, same thing.
	Same guys.
	Who are the, you know, they're taking two sides.
	It's interesting because it's like a public relations battle that they're losing with this story because this story is a bogative story that really is designed to just make everything they do look crappy.
	Like, they're just trying to manipulate us.
	They suck.
	They're horrible people.
	And, you know, they should all die.
	They should get a different firm.
	And nobody considers the scripted aspect of it, the United Nations aspect, or the Barbara Walter aspect, or the after-the-fact editing, which is considered, no, we can't do that, even though they apparently do it all the time.
	This is a briefing from a PR agent here at the end of this briefing, and this is something that Lois would give us if we were to do an interview.
	Key points, the government's crackdown, the bloody regime, civil war, security forces and violence, tanks, the YouTube torture clips President Assad ignores, the bloodshed and the help of other countries in the Arab League, army defectors, Robert Ford's returns to the U.S. for security reasons, Syria is an authoritarian government, So these are the key points they know that Barbara Walters is going to focus on.
	And then at the end, the broadcast hours and channels, and they give the whole rundown.
	The interview will be broadcast across ABC news platforms, including World News, Good Morning America, This Week.
	I mean, it's a PR briefing.
	Yeah, ABC, not NBC. I thought I said ABC. Yeah, ABC. Which means, it says, full-length treatment across the digital space.
	This is PR talk.
	For ABC News this now includes Yahoo as well which means you can reach as many as 100 million people.
	ABC News and Yahoo recently joined forces which is another reason why so many people now bring their interviews to us.
	Really?
	This is a PR briefing.
	And you're right.
	And so what?
	Yeah, I know.
	So what?
	But there's more PR going on.
	I just caught this this morning on CNN. I mean, CNN itself does these.
	Thank you.
	Well, here's CNN playing along nicely.
	CNN next Sunday night, 8 Eastern.
	A collapsed cooling tower.
	Leaky pipes.
	Why is this nuclear power plant still online?
	So no one's going to talk to us?
	No.
	CNN presents Nuclear Standoff.
	Next Sunday night, 8 Eastern.
	Nuclear standoff.
	Get rid of all nukes because gas is coming.
	Gas will save you.
	Get rid of nukes.
	Nukes bad.
	Nuclear power plants bad, bad, bad, bad, Actually, we both of us got an email from Atomic Rod.
	Yeah, we did.
	Which was a really beautiful email.
	Because he believes there is, and he's, you know, I mean, I think he's got his very...
	Set opinions about energy.
	Atomic Rod Adams, who was a long-time supporter of the show, was on a nuclear sub for many, many years.
	And he does work in the Navy.
	He works in the Navy.
	And he says, look, man, backyard nukes are not far away.
	It's clean.
	All this propaganda.
	It's all propaganda.
	Of course, Rod has his own agenda.
	And I wish...
	See, I can make a combustion engine here at home.
	I mean, I can get a lawnmower, and I can get some parts together, and I can create a generator.
	If I could do that, if I can split a couple atoms here at home, and I wouldn't die from it, then we would have a different story.
	But it's so embedded into the psyche...
	Well, and you heard it in that teaser where they said, why is it still online?
	Why is it still online?
	Well, maybe because it's just producing energy and it's not doing any harm.
	So maybe that's why it's still online.
	But this slanted pro-petroleum, which, you know, we're a petroleum economy, and anything that threatens it is always like...
	It's always like meets with ruination.
	Always.
	Yeah.
	Nuclear.
	You're going to die.
	The thing that happened in the 70s, which is going to happen again, you can count on it, which is the...
	No, no, no.
	It only has to happen every 30 years.
	We had Fukushima.
	It's done.
	It won't happen for a while.
	You're talking about the clean energy movement that takes place with the wind power and all these other things.
	The thing you do is you jack up the price of oil as high as you can.
	You try to manipulate it up, up, up, because it really should be selling for $25 to $40 a barrel max instead of $100.
	So you jack it way up and then all these other things look like, well, you know, this is affordable.
	We should do this.
	And you get everybody to invest their money into all this green stuff.
	And by the way, those funds are all underwater.
	Put all your money in the green stuff and then you pull the rug out from under them.
	I've seen this happen before.
	Boom!
	The price of oil goes back down to where it belongs.
	$25.
	All these companies go broke overnight and it just sets them back $20 or $30.
	They can't threaten again.
	It's just a real common...
	Because we've got so much oil that it's almost crazy to do anything but burn it.
	Yeah, but we've been mind-controlled, dude.
	We've been mind-controlled.
	Of course, we're killing the earth.
	We're killing each other.
	Peak oil and all the rest.
	Peak oil, all this stuff.
	Yeah, we're all going to die.
	And now nuclear.
	And of course, I'll reiterate that right after Fukushima, then Germany said, oh, we're shutting everything down.
	No more clean, beautiful nuclear energy.
	Right, and if you can be one of the guys involved in a, since you're not sharing the wealth when you find all this oil, you just control it somehow, you can make a heck of a lot of money just pumping stuff out of the ground.
	I mean, there's no work involved except for putting in a pump and you hire somebody to do that.
	It's a killer moneymaker.
	I mean, that's why you have all those rich guys in Texas.
	I mean, you know, they're some of the dumbest people you've ever met.
	Rick Perry, case in point.
	You feel?
	So, anyway, there's a lot of links in the show notes.
	3a2.nashownotes.com under the heading Leviathan.
	There's a whole bunch of contracts that are up and there's companies mentioned.
	So, those of you who understand this business and understand buying stocks and investing in companies, if you're doing it anyway, look at some of our research.
	And if you score, send us some dough.
	Yeah.
	We're basically your research arm here, and we're happy to do it.
	Yeah, we got some good insight on this stuff.
	You might as well become an executive producer.
	Do we have any today?
	Yes, we do.
	We have some nice executive producers that came in to help us.
	Oh, good.
	And we have one executive executive producer, the top of the line, our old buddy or your friend, Dame Astrid.
	Oh, Dame Astrid from Tokyo.
	Tokyo.
	Oh, awesome.
	Came in with $500.
	Dearest John and Adam, donating is love or not.
	I love you guys.
	I cannot live without you, nor less of you.
	Should you go to one show a week, all dames unite for this and never happen again.
	At night, with my earbuds in, I fall asleep listening.
	Oh, this is great.
	She's falling asleep over.
	We put the weird stuff at the end, too.
	What?
	She dreams of us?
	Yeah, I guess so.
	I dream about you.
	I love your bogative language and all the charming mispronunciations of French.
	You think you're cool.
	But really, you're the most endearing of all.
	John, who doesn't know, agent provocateur.
	And Adam, who likes, my mom would say, dog that barks doesn't bite.
	And most importantly, you make me laugh like no other.
	Happy Valentine's Day from Dame Astrid.
	Do you think she's asleep already?
	She probably is.
	She's already like...
	Like, oh, that's really interesting.
	She's probably going to wake up with some weird ideas and she's sleeping.
	I don't recommend that to me.
	I'm going to talk to her now in her sleep.
	Dame Astrid, we love you too.
	And we're here with you.
	Wakey, wakey!
	Kathy Lee Simonich sent a check-in for $260 with the comment that this is the equivalent of $5 a week for a year.
	Oh, that's a good initiative.
	Thank you.
	Well, that's a pretty good deal for the entertainment we deliver, I think.
	Yeah, it's definitely cheaper than anything else out there.
	Scott Hankel, Sir Scott Hankel in Sunland, California, $214.12, a Valentine's Day donation.
	Thanks for the karma shout-out in the last episode.
	I was not for what Adam alluded to, which he mentioned was relationship issues.
	It was stupid slave issues.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	My mistake.
	A week ago, some moron driver coming in the opposite direction failed to yield the right-of-way and turn left in front of me.
	Collision ensued.
	No!
	This past week, my wife stopped for traffic and was rear-ended by a city worker.
	And her car was hit, too, apparently.
	Fun times.
	Thankfully, everyone is all right, but vehicle damage and dealing with insurance companies such a joy anyhow.
	Keep up the good work.
	Love hearing you twice a week.
	Hopefully, the donations pick up to get you guys passed, keep you guys busy providing the best podcasts in the universe.
	Well, then let me hand out...
	Re-karmakize him.
	I'm going to re-karmalize him.
	You've got karma.
	It's caramelizing.
	Not carmatized.
	You've been caramelized.
	Chris Eisbach in Cheshire, Connecticut.
	2-14-12.
	Not sure whether it's ever making it to the show list, but I did see a comments area to include a note with my donation.
	I was moved to donate a palindromic amount on this palindromic show date.
	I even have a...
	By the way, all the 2-1-1, 1-2-1-3, all through the 19th are all palindromes.
	It's nice to know other people who find that cool.
	I love a little karma.
	I add to my chances for the promotion I've been hoping for over the last few years.
	I've been listening to talk for years, starting with Art Bell, moving to Glenn Beck, and now no agenda.
	Starting to think maybe I am the crackpot.
	No, I think you've upgraded yourself, my friend.
	That's what I think.
	Here you go.
	You're getting caramelized.
	You've got karma.
	And that's the 214-12.
	Very nice.
	Yeah, and also Brad Doherty in Brooklyn, New York at 214-12 without comment.
	Tom Trobo, or Troba, in Austin.
	Whoa!
	He's right down the street from you.
	He's probably watching you with binoculars as we speak.
	2-12-12, which is today's date.
	Long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Love the show.
	Need some karma to get some new projects going.
	Keep up the great work.
	Your neighbor in Steiner Ranch.
	Oh, he must be loaded if he's in Steiner Ranch.
	That's where the mother load is.
	That's where you don't want to be from, according to you.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no.
	Well, there you go.
	You've got...
	Steiner Rance just moved back up.
	Actually, that is very close to where I live.
	But...
	Robert, can he hit you with a mortar is the question.
	Easily.
	Easily.
	One of those boomerang drones.
	He could shoot it right out of the tube.
	And it would take 30 seconds for it to fly over my house.
	Devin Ostendorf in Arvada, Colorado, 21212.
	Hey, citizens.
	ITM to you both, although I made my first...
	Just last month, I felt strongly compelled to lob another one.
	Why?
	Because show 383, a nice palindrome falls on 2-12-12, an even nicer palindrome, which happens to be my birthday.
	Wow.
	But it's actually show 382, which is...
	Hmm.
	Well, you can...
	Yeah, so it's not really the palindrome of the date and your birthday is great, but it's...
	I thought this was 383 myself.
	No, this is 382.
	Sorry.
	So why is there any other reason that I'm donating?
	Great question.
	Insert JCDs.
	That's not a great question clip here.
	As a matter of fact, there is...
	And even implicit karma appears to work as, since my last donation, I've acquired a new job that I'm very excited about.
	So here's a donation to 2-12-12, which together my donation from early January of 1-21-21 takes me to 3-33-33, the third of the way to knighthood.
	Jeez.
	Yeah.
	Let's give another karma shot to Gary Johnson.
	I'd love to see him debate Obama and whomever the GOP nominee ends up being.
	Okay.
	We'll caramelize Gary Johnson.
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	There's something else there at the end there.
	Thanks again.
	Kevin Ostendorf, pronounced like the capital of the drone star state.
	Gitmo Nation craft beer.
	Arvada, Colorado.
	Hey, citizen.
	All right.
	Gil Freund in...
	Where's this?
	Gany Tikva?
	N-A? I don't know, 210-12.
	Hey, citizen, donate.
	Why?
	Because it's an excellent question.
	Someone has to ask the questions not asked by the lamestream media, and those someones are used.
	Note, no original content used in this message.
	That's right.
	Damn it!
	If you're going to donate, use original content!
	Harvey Lee in Federal Way, Washington, 212-12.
	2-10-12 with no comment.
	And finally, our last associate executive producer for today's show, 382, is Jason Brooks, Antioch, Tennessee.
	$200.
	$200.00 and zero cents because round numbers are good for your cardiovascular system and libido.
	So I've heard.
	I'm proud to be an associate executive producer for the show and so appreciative that you guys are doing all the work out there.
	All I ask is that John say name really, really slow during the credits.
	So that people who are fast-forwarding will hear it in real time and do a double take.
	Jason Brooks.
	Thanks for all you do.
	You make my weekly five-hour drive that much easier.
	That's cool, man.
	That's funny.
	People listen to podcasts at double speed.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, a lot of people do.
	And if you have the right device, you can hear it.
	You can understand it.
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course you can.
	Well, that's very nice, and we'll bring you in as an associate executive producer.
	We appreciate our other associate execs and our executive producers.
	No different from Hollywood, by the way.
	If you're going to watch the Grammys tonight, if you're listening to the show live, you'll see the list of executive producers and associate executive producers, and these are the people that benefit.
	They get value from the show.
	They probably get to bang some of the singers.
	Yeah, they're lucky.
	Yeah.
	I want to remind everybody to go to Dvorak.org slash NA. Channel Dvorak.com slash NA. Dvorak or the NoGenaShow.com and NoGenaNation.com.
	We're going to also pick up a cup, which are nice, by the way.
	A cup.
	A mug.
	You can pick up a cup.
	Those are nice cups.
	A mug.
	A cup is something you use when you're on the...
	Actually, it is going to be...
	Yes, exactly.
	Dvorak.org.
	A couple of PR mentions.
	Thank you very much, Citizen Harvey, for forwarding the domain name DronePilotTraining.com to our NoAgendaShow.com website.
	That'll come in really handy, I guess.
	Also, did you have another one?
	Yeah, DronePilotTraining and DronePilotsRus.com.
	So should we ever get into the business?
	And that'll be just groovy.
	I misread the XXX top-level domain name we got on the previous show.
	I said it was release.xxx.
	I have no idea what I was thinking.
	Well, maybe I do.
	Actually, the domain name registered is realsex.xxx, which is actually better than release.xxx.
	And finally, unbelievable, but it was available.
	Thank you very much, Mark, from Indian Trail, North Carolina.
	Newenergyorder.com.
	Now pointing to the NoAgendaShow.com website, which makes total sense and is an easy one to remember, actually.
	NewEnergyOrder.com And I want to remind people that there is a Valentine's Day coming up with a 2-14-12 donation that you'll see listed on the website.
	So what are we going to do?
	We're going to mention these posthumously after the 14th?
	Yeah.
	I mean, you do the lucky thing right.
	You do it right on the day.
	Remember, nothing says I love you more than a donation to No Agenda.
	And I would also like to thank all of our artists who never get enough props, who diligently create artwork for us for every single program.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.info NoAgendaArtGenerator.info is where you can see all of the artwork ever created.
	And it's great because it's very hard for us to make a choice.
	But we do have to make one choice for each episode.
	But there's lots of really funny stuff and really cool stuff to look at on that website.
	And we highly appreciate it.
	And of course, we always put credit in the show notes for our artists.
	But because it happens all after the fact, they don't usually get recognized as much as they should.
	And that's quite an effort that goes into that.
	So thank you all very much.
	Of course, everyone else out there can go out and do something important, which is propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New.
	Road. Order.
	You know you're a slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	And before you say anything, John, did you get in on this big business news?
	No.
	About the big merger?
	What merger?
	Don't tell me you didn't have stocks in this.
	Come on, man.
	You and Horowitz do a show about the financial news.
	There's mergers all the time.
	Which one are you talking about?
	Wow.
	Just tell me.
	News that Al-Shabaab, long associated with Al-Qaeda, but never formally welcomed into the family, has gotten the blessing from Al-Qaeda's leader and has merged with the organization.
	Oh, brother.
	A merger.
	Who are these guys kidding?
	I mean, this is an obvious media scam.
	It's on CNN. It's called a merger.
	I wonder if it's a reverse merger.
	That's funny.
	I'm waiting for the IPO. People who follow these things will get a kick out of that.
	I'm glad I made a funny on you.
	Yeah, that's a funny idea.
	Reverse mergers for people out there who don't know what they are.
	It's like, you're a company, and people want you to go public.
	And so they make a big stink about you.
	But your company is so screwed up.
	You can't actually file a document that would make any sense.
	Yeah, you can't do it.
	So you buy a company that's already public but it's selling for like a penny a share.
	And you buy them up and you take the whole company over and then you change their name to your name and you have reverse merged and you're now a public company.
	And companies do this constantly and that's one of the reasons that people like to toy in penny stocks because if you find a company out there that's selling for like two cents or a penny or less than a penny, many times it's like a tenth of a cent, It looks like a reverse merger candidate.
	You buy that company because when they do the reverse merger, the stock stays the same.
	So when the company comes out and it's five or six bucks a share, I mean, you can make a killing.
	Final line in the CNN report.
	This is so funny.
	Intelligence sources tell CNN the merger announcement was expected weeks ago.
	I guess we missed that filing.
	Yeah, there's a red herring.
	I'd like to see that.
	The terrorist red herring report.
	So, how can we make money on the next merger?
	I think there's going to be an IPO. What would it be?
	What would it be the next group?
	No, they're just going to go public.
	They should do an IPO. I'm sorry, Facebook's already going public.
	It's the same thing.
	Al-Qaeda and Al-Shabaab merger.
	But now the question is, will they come up with a new name, Al-Shabaab?
	Or, you know, are they going to use the acquiring firm's name?
	These are all questions that are very...
	Kebab Shaba.
	Kebab Shaba.
	How about Shish Kebab?
	I think that would be good.
	What would the ticker symbol be?
	Yeah, Shish.
	Shish. Shish. Shish.
	You got into that shish stock, man?
	Yeah, baby.
	So I was doing some research.
	Sorry, that just tickled me.
	Yeah, apparently.
	All right.
	So I'm doing some research.
	I'm going through the...
	You know, the WikiLeaks cables are still there, and there's more in there, so you can do these searches and you find different things.
	So I was doing some research on Valentine's Day to see what was going on around the world.
	Yeah.
	And it turns out this holiday is huge everywhere.
	Yes.
	And in India it's actually quite interesting because in India it's kind of a gay holiday.
	Oh really?
	Yeah.
	So isn't gaydom like not, isn't that frowned upon in India?
	Well that was interesting so I started doing a little research.
	I came up with two things.
	I found out that gay, it's legal now to be gay in India according to this one cable.
	There was a briefing for the State Department, confidential by the way.
	And I did a little work on that, too.
	This is what's great about it.
	See, I did a whole bunch of research on the Leviathan, and now you're like just clutching for straws.
	I am.
	You come up with Gay Valentine's Day.
	Gay Valentine's Day.
	Good work, John.
	This is my answer.
	Good work.
	So, gay Valentine's Day.
	So, anyway, apparently the Sri Ram Sena, SRS, a small fringe Hindu extremist group, which has spent the past year engaged in isolated violence against young men and women celebrating Valentine's Day.
	Lost its momentum this year.
	And now they apparently, they're legalized.
	This group is, which used to beat people up on Valentine's Day because it was gay.
	I don't know.
	So in the process, I'm reading about this, and I run into a slew of cables out of China.
	China cables.
	And all signed by Huntsman.
	Oh, really?
	I don't want to say...
	I don't want to come on this show and make the statement that...
	That someone might think John Huntsman is gay.
	But he really goes out of his way to cover gay issues in China when he's over there.
	The whole big memo on the Mr.
	Gay China pageant.
	Really?
	I mean, there are many a cable about what's going on in the gay community.
	And I think, well, what's this all about?
	And he was the one endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans.
	Above all the others, and there's a couple other gay groups that have promoted him.
	He's Mormon, and his father, so I started looking into it.
	I mean, could he, maybe he's gay and he's married to some woman who, you know, he adopted a lot of kids, and there's some crazy pictures of him.
	They've adopted kids from all over the place.
	And his father, I didn't realize, was a 70s.
	And which is one of the Mormon elders at the highest level, like a cardinal in the Vatican.
	Only in the Mormon church.
	In the Mormon church.
	Major league, borderline apostle.
	And it's a very interesting thing.
	And if you start looking into it, I think someone could come to this conclusion.
	So what you're saying is all this research you've come up with is a flaccid allegation that John Huntsman is gay.
	Very, yeah.
	Great.
	That's great.
	That's about it.
	That's awesome.
	On the domestic front, as it specifically pertains to some of our greater LGBT community, Governor and Mrs.
	Huntsman are particularly supportive of our issues, wrote Morin, a consultant who is involved in a GOP gay rights group known as the Log Cabin Republic.
	The other thing I actually kind of turned up is that...
	Huntsman's dad partnered with a guy named Gay, Robert C. Gay, to create the Huntsman Gay Global Capital.
	But what's interesting about this is that Gay was one of the executives from Bain Capital, which I now believe is apparently a highly Mormonized operation.
	Oh, well, that doesn't surprise me.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Now, do you relate this back somehow to your Bahrain-Valentine's Day clip?
	Is that anything worth listening to?
	The Bahrain-Valentine's Day clip.
	I don't know, play it.
	Oh, okay.
	Take human rights activist Nabeel Rajab.
	He's been to jail where he says he was beaten.
	Says he was beaten.
	A visit to his house reveals windows that have been smashed and attacked by security forces.
	The Bahrain story is starting to crop up again.
	I saw it in the Washington Post, too.
	Yes, MI6 has decided...
	They've been covering it up, and now they've brought it to the fore.
	And this is a BBC report.
	But they're still rather skeptical about the whole thing.
	And when you listen to the...
	Some of the take on it.
	It seems to be a borderline civil war between the Sunnis and the Shiites in Bahrain.
	And the Shiites bitching and moaning about the Sunnis not giving them work, not giving them this, not giving them that.
	You start hearing this meme over and over again, and there's this skeptical reporting from the BBC where they say, well, this person, Clay.
	You know, the way you're supposed to report this, by the way, officially, is when someone says they've been beaten in a prison, you use the word says.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly is usually involving a legal situation where you can't call somebody a crook.
	Oh, okay.
	In general, straight reporting, you would generally say says he was beaten or you could say alleges he was beaten, but you don't ever use the word claims because claim has negative connotations.
	Got you.
	You hear anybody saying, claims, oh, he claims to be an alien.
	You know that the person giving the report is skeptical of the whole thing, and it instills that skepticism in the listener's brain, and it's incredibly unfair reporting.
	And I just want to point that the BBC does this a lot.
	Okay.
	Continue?
	Yeah.
	Now you see the high rate of unemployment among Shias, high rate of people with no houses among Shia.
	You see how high rate of people with no nationality among Shia.
	You come to the Shia areas, you see how much they are suffering.
	Pro-government sources say the economy has not been greatly affected by the protests.
	While some businesses have relocated to nearby hubs like Dubai and Doha, others are filling the void, like fund management business Nort Stuki.
	We were looking for a robust regulatory framework, which we find that it's been offered by the Central Bank of Bahrain.
	It has an excellent infrastructure, and the proximity to Saudi definitely is another reason.
	Still, around the financial district, there is anecdotal evidence the economy is suffering.
	Building projects look stalled.
	In the streets of the capital souks, western tourists are markedly absent, and many who sided with the opposition have lost their jobs, leading those still at work to save money rather than spend.
	Dr.
	Ala Shahabi has a PhD in economics and was fired because of her associations with the protest movement.
	Her husband was jailed by the police.
	I lived through this nightmare.
	My husband came home for lunch and he left and he was ambushed and kidnapped from his car park and he was in jail for 10 months.
	He was sentenced to three years in a military court.
	I had very little access to him.
	He was tortured, severely beaten up and he still lives with his scars and his wounds.
	With the one-year anniversary of the uprising coming on February 14th, it's possible that tension bubbles to the surface once more.
	Yeah, it's funny that you bring that up because I did do, just by coincidence, I was looking at February 14th because I got a note from one of our Producers who said that word on the street is they have now flipped the kill switch in Iran on the internet in order to keep out the techno experts and their propaganda, but that it is also now forbidden in Iran currently to sell roses...
	For Valentine's Day.
	And just no roses, which leads me to believe, you might want to slip this into the red book in pencil, that there is a new color revolution planned for the 14th and that it's going to be a rose revolution, color red.
	But if you look up February 14th in the Book of Knowledge, 2011, and this is the Book of Knowledge, so it's highly edited by whomever.
	As part of the Arab Spring, the 2011 Barani Uprising.
	Let's go up a little bit further.
	Some other things.
	In 1989, Iranian leader Khomeini issues a fatwa.
	Against Salman Rushdie.
	It's an interesting date.
	1962, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy takes television viewers on a tour of the White House, which was a big deal.
	I remember my parents talked about that, even though I wasn't around.
	1946, the Bank of England was nationalized.
	1949, the Knesset, that's the Israeli Parliament, convenes for the first time.
	Let's see what else.
	It's just an interesting date.
	There must be some...
	Of course, we celebrate it, I presume, for the St.
	Valentine's Day massacre of Al Capone's gang.
	That's why I celebrate it.
	It's just, you know, Arizona admitted as the 48th state.
	Voting machines approved by U.S. Congress for use in federal elections in 1899.
	Really?
	1899?
	What kind of machines were these?
	The ones they still use here and again.
	The big lever.
	Yeah, the big lever.
	Alexander Graham Bell applies for patent for the telephone.
	Interesting day.
	Maybe we shouldn't overlook it just as like some...
	There's got to be some undertone meaning to all of this that we're just not realizing.
	And somewhere a couple of elites are going, Yeah, celebrate our holiday, you suckers.
	So in the process of looking at all these cables, and ending up with all this stuff about lesbians in China, which took me off the track, I finally got into looking at, there was a mention, I was noticing that at the top of the cables there was this crazy little moniker on the Huntsman memos,
	it said, classified by Political Ministers Council Aubrey Carlson for reasons 1.4BD. So I decided to start looking into what is that.
	So it turns out that in 2003, March 28th, there was an executive order which was amended.
	It was Executive Order 12958 amended to Executive Order 13292.
	This is your stuff.
	And they have all these sections, and those are the sections that discuss how to classify documents.
	And so this is what I thought was interesting.
	Essentially, Section 1.4 is the classification category.
	It has all these different things.
	Things have to be considered for classification for all these various reasons.
	And then they talk about top secret, secret, and confidential are the three.
	And they all tend to be about the same thing.
	It's going to cause unauthorized disclosure, which would reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the national security.
	But what's funny about this, and the thing I think is the kicker, There's these people that are designated, it's very specific in this executive order, people who get to make these determinations.
	There's like one guy at the council, at the embassy, the memo has to go through him and he has to determine it has to be confidential or secret or top secret.
	Right, right, right.
	But the kicker is if there's nobody around...
	No, wait a minute.
	So if everyone's out playing golf, who determines the classification?
	Yes.
	So when there's nobody around, the author or anybody can essentially determine a classification and they could say it's top secret.
	And it becomes top secret until somebody, one of these other bureaucrats, gets hold of it and redesignates it, which is a paperwork issue that they're not going to do.
	Wow.
	So any bonehead who writes one of these stupid memos...
	Just put top secret on it, you're done.
	At least they put secret on it because they're afraid that if they don't, they'll get in trouble because they want to get this thing published.
	But now there's different...
	You have top secret, you have for your eyes only, there's all kinds of classifications.
	No, those aren't part of this.
	There's only three designations that are part of this.
	That is top secret, secret, and confidential.
	Those are the three.
	That's it.
	Everything else is just, you know, bullshit.
	But if you're doing one of these memos and you have suspicions that it should be, you know, you automatically put confidential on everything or maybe secret on everything because there's nobody around.
	You don't want to go on through channels and once it gets on there, it's stuck.
	Most of the documents are taken out of the public view because of this bull crap.
	Because what are you going to do?
	You write in a memo, you work at the...
	Yeah, it's top secret.
	Top secret.
	Top secret.
	Yeah.
	It's funny because Senator Wyden had sent a request to Attorney General Eric Holder, or as he's known, the General, as well as James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, requesting the chain of decision for requesting the chain of decision for the droning of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki.
	And what came back from Holder is that he does not have the authority to provide formal written opinions of the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel to Congress.
	And Dennis Blair said...
	If we think that direct action will involve killing an American, we get specific permission to do that.
	And Wyden, in regard to that, wrote Holder and says that the executive branch, this is an interesting quote, indefensible for the executive branch to claim that intelligence agencies have the authority to knowingly kill American citizens.
	Subject to limitations that have never been described publicly while at the same time refusing to provide Congress its legal opinions on this authority.
	So essentially what's going on here is we have a little tit-for-tat with the intelligence agencies saying, we don't have the authority to do that.
	That comes from the President.
	Which we have the clips of that.
	That comes directly from the President.
	I find this disturbing, obviously.
	Yeah, well, I'm still wondering what the real, what's the, there's some behind the scenes stuff here that we have yet to uncover.
	There's something.
	We probably never will.
	I mean, it's just not.
	You know, there's something else that's going on that I realize there might, there might be another psychological operation going on.
	What's the name of that department now?
	They've changed their name from PsyOps.
	Remember they changed their name?
	Yeah, let's see if we can figure that out.
	Boy, I'm so stupid.
	I need to remember this.
	So there's two things that hit the news.
	I'm always watching for these.
	One is some woman, Mimi, comes out and says, Yeah, JFK had sex with me when I was 19.
	You saw this story, right?
	This was all of a sudden, Oh, a new woman comes out.
	JFK slept with me.
	There's also a, I think it's like a four hour documentary coming out about Clinton.
	And of course, all the rehash is coming back into the news about Jennifer Flowers and of course Lewinsky.
	And I believe this is being bestowed upon us because...
	Military Information Support Operations.
	There you go.
	Miso soup.
	That was it.
	Miso.
	Miso.
	I believe this is happening because something is going to come out about Obama.
	And we're being prepared because, you know, you look at JFK, seen as great president, Clinton, seen as great president, even though we know he's a douchebag.
	You know, even in this documentary, I haven't seen it, but I'm just reading reviews, it comes out and says, you know, well, yeah, he did great things, you know, he had a flaw or two or whatever.
	So I think someone has the goods on Obama.
	And something's coming out, and we're being prepared for this.
	That's an interesting theory.
	I'll put that in the Red Book.
	You might as well.
	And I don't know if it's a Reggie Love thing, or maybe it's that crazy guy who says he had oral sex and did coke with Obama in the limo.
	Is that guy dead yet?
	Probably.
	I haven't seen much from him.
	Yeah, whatever happened to that guy?
	Is he dead yet?
	He might have just...
	Bought him off and told him to get lost.
	Oh, and we can take one out of the Red Book.
	Hold on a second.
	This was a great PR. Thank you very much for the multitude of people who sent me this trailer of the forthcoming movie Iron Sky.
	This, of course, not only explains our Dark Side of the Moon theory as being a bullcrap news story to promote this movie, All of a sudden, oh, it's so important, Dark Side of the Moon.
	Now, I thought it was relating to the re-release of the Masters of the Pink Floyd album.
	Turns out this movie is filled with it.
	And there's another little extra meme in there just for us.
	Where are we from?
	The dark side of the moon!
	He hee!
	This is about Nazis who have moon bases.
	Of course.
	I knew that.
	And they're from the dark side of the moon.
	And they're coming to attack the world.
	And the kids are like, the dark side of the moon is like awesome.
	Now, listen to the extra little ditty in this.
	I just clipped a bit of the trailer.
	We can't be!
	Who are these guys anyway?
	Nazis from the moon.
	That's too much.
	One word for me, and the invasion from the moon begins.
	Invasion.
	Y'all must be tripping.
	Now my question is, what do y'all plan to do about it?
	Because we just happen to have a little something up our own sleeve.
	All presidents who start a war in their first term get re-elected.
	Oh, that's beautiful.
	All presidents who start a war on their first term get re-elected, which of course is a big part of the Iran saber rattling, and that would make a lot of sense.
	This is a Red Booker, but I do like The Dark Side of the Moon being a PR initiative for this movie.
	Very good.
	Good job, guys.
	Whoever did that, brilliant.
	Brilliant, I tell you.
	There always tends to be movies.
	And you can take one out.
	I don't know when we put it in, but we said Judge Napolitano's show would be cancelled, and lo and behold, cancelled!
	Yeah, he's still working for the Fox people, and my original thesis was they were just testing him there, and then they were going to give him the Glenn Beck spot.
	And I think...
	No, he was off the reservation, man.
	He was going way on.
	I think that's right.
	I think he went a little bit too far with his libertarianism.
	They don't like that.
	No.
	And Stossel has still got a libertarian show, but he's kind of like so nutty enough that he's not, you know, he's like...
	He's got a once-a-week deal.
	They can put up with that.
	They don't need that.
	And talking about dumb Americans, you mentioned this earlier in the show.
	No, I didn't.
	I said we are dumb.
	I didn't say this.
	There's not this dumb...
	All of America is dumb.
	Well, some people are dumb.
	Except for the people who listen to the show.
	And I would say that this week's award goes to the representative John Fleming.
	Who's a congressman, a Republican, who apparently posted a horrible, I mean, just ranted on Facebook, because he's an idiot for being on Facebook, linking to an article about the Planned Parenthood abortion plex.
	Which was an onion story that was bogus.
	Well, you got punked by that, too, recently.
	So, you know, you do also qualify as...
	I'm not a congressman.
	You're a dumb American, though.
	Oh, yeah.
	Totally.
	Yeah.
	I joined the ranks of the dumb Americans.
	I wonder if it was really him or some idiot in his office.
	Well, from the looks of it, it's probably him.
	And, uh...
	And there's one YouTube thing going around that's also on my blog.
	You should check it out.
	Have you ever seen the dad who goes nuts about his Facebook?
	His daughter writes something on Facebook and then he blows up her laptop with a.45 and the whole thing is like, do you guys ever sit down for dinner?
	That's a spoof.
	I don't believe that's for real.
	Yeah, I put the hoax.
	In fact, in my post I said maybe this is an elaborate hoax because it does seem hoax-like.
	And why would you blow up the laptop when you could sell it on Craigslist for a couple hundred bucks?
	I mean, it doesn't make sense.
	It's, you know, because I saw that come through on noagenthenewsnetwork.com because anyone can put an RSS feed in there, noagenthenewsnetwork.com.
	There's a link right at the top in the menu that shows you how to do it.
	Why don't you have an RSS feed out?
	Why?
	We have an OPML feed, so you can take that OPML feed and you can import it into your own feed reader and have all the feeds and remove the ones you don't want.
	That's the way it's supposed to work, dude.
	Yeah, well, it doesn't.
	Well, what do you mean it doesn't?
	I'm just telling you.
	No, you're misunderstanding how it works.
	Yeah, obviously.
	This is an aggregator.
	This is a public feed reader.
	Yes, I understand.
	So, instead of giving you an RSS feed of RSS feeds, I give you an OPML file so you can import that and you can subscribe to whatever you want and then have your own.
	It's much better.
	Yeah, well, that's according to you and your other OPML fanatics.
	What's your problem?
	What do you use?
	What do you use?
	Google Reader?
	Look, all you have to do is load a page.
	Oh, it's so much work.
	Hit a bookmark and then you get all the news you want.
	In fact, you don't need to have any other news than that.
	That's the only site you need.
	What else are you reading?
	I agree with that.
	You could live on that site.
	Yeah.
	What else are you reading?
	Nothing.
	All right, and although this...
	Cables.
	Cables, okay.
	From the BBC News, the Automobile Association, here's another Red Booker, is set to launch a new insurance policy which uses sat-nav technology to track driver performance.
	Well, this is not a Red Booker.
	We've predicted this.
	This is a close the Red Book on it.
	Well, there's one extra little bitty, little ditty-bitty.
	Who is going to provide this sat-nav technology for them?
	This is the one that I think is the kicker.
	TomTom.
	Now, TomTom is arguably the most successful satellite navigation company.
	So they're now in.
	Because, of course, they signed huge deals with the map companies.
	It's a Dutch company, originally.
	I think it's still Dutch, although probably public at this point.
	And they have now signed up with the insurance company to use their technology.
	So here's the Red Booker part.
	I'm going to predict...
	Within our lifetime, certainly, but within a reasonable amount of time, all TomTom navigation systems will receive an update, have some kind of interface.
	They're embedded everywhere.
	They are the key into it.
	Every single navigator that you have will now become a spy apparatus that Whether it's for your insurance company, which you'll have to do.
	You'll have to do it.
	Otherwise, your insurance rates will just be too expensive.
	Yeah.
	No, it's obvious.
	And this is the thing.
	The insurance companies have been angling to get the goods on the public forever.
	Because the way they see it is, oh, this person's a risk.
	We don't have to insure them.
	That's where essentially Progressive began as a company that did no more than data analysis of very large databases to figure out how much risk a person was.
	And they could do it by your background, where you lived, how many wrecks you've been in, what kind of ticket history you have and everything else.
	And you could say, well, this guy, you could charge him this much money because you'll make money on him.
	If you charge him less, you'll lose money.
	And that's one of the reasons that I don't even trust a Safeway card.
	You know those cards that you go to the grocery store and you get an extra nickel off.
	If you have the card, you join their little store club.
	And they record every purchase you make and it goes on your record.
	The insurance companies would love to get a hold of this and who knows that they're not getting a hold of it.
	They say, well, this guy buys an awful lot of potato chips.
	I think we should jack up his rates.
	Right.
	And the funny, by the way, for people out there that don't use these cards, myself included, you see these things that's on sale, you take it through there and say, well, you get your card, you say, no, you can use this person, the person behind you, they'll be glad to take, run their card for it, or usually the store itself will just give you the discount anyway.
	But listen to this.
	It's not good.
	So, I love this BBC report.
	Information will be transmitted remotely to the insurers, can also be accessed by users via a website, which gives information on overall performance, warning them if they are likely to be moved into a higher premium.
	You are enslaved with this.
	This is terrible.
	Listen, the system will detect sudden hard braking.
	Extreme speeds will be greeted with a, quote, stern email to the driver.
	Can you imagine?
	Hey, you know when you stopped hard for that cat going across the road?
	We didn't like it.
	The pay-how-you-drive system is what it's going to be called.
	Of course, it's going to save you a lot of money initially.
	Yeah, right.
	They're calling it telematics or black box insurance.
	These are all great words.
	And I think there was more on...
	It's like how they're going to track your cornering, your braking, your speed.
	Maybe even if you fart in the car.
	This is being implemented where?
	This is in the AA, which is the biggest, basically the AAA of the UK. This is in the UK we're talking about right now?
	Yeah, this is UK. So we already have Progressive in the United States who have an option, but this is going to be mandatory.
	I mean, this is just, there's no way around it.
	Drivers on the scheme will be given a TomTom Pro 3100 as part of the package.
	The device will include active driver feedback.
	This is great!
	Oh, hold on a second, John.
	We have to...
	Active driver feedback.
	Oh my goodness.
	Do they have some old woman's voice?
	You're going too fast!
	Slow down!
	Let me try this.
	Slow down, slave.
	Slow down, slave.
	This is just, it's really, let me see.
	They also have live services.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Live services went to warn drivers when they were cornering too sharply or braking too hard.
	So those of us that have cars with nice tires that are designed to corner fast...
	You are braking too hard.
	We want to make a nice fast turn because it's kind of fun when you get on the freeway to let it rip.
	This is now...
	My insurance rate's going to go up because I can't corner?
	Kidding me.
	Your far smells.
	Oh, my goodness, Fred.
	From December, insurance companies will be barred from basing premiums on gender.
	So no longer can you...
	No, they don't have to anymore because these...
	The black box will know it's a woman driver.
	I know.
	Send the email to me.
	Slow down.
	Here it is.
	Yo, bitch.
	Slow down.
	Woman driver.
	This is...
	Wow.
	And then how long until you get an upgrade on your smartphone?
	I mean, the only thing I still use from Google is their navigation, which I have to say is an outstanding product.
	I know you're a fan of it as well.
	Oh, yeah.
	I think they can sell it.
	That navigator on the Google Android phone is astonishing.
	It's so great.
	It's really, really good.
	And then when you get to the location, it shows you a picture.
	It shows you a picture.
	But it also does something that a lot of sat-navs don't do, which is says, you know, your destination is coming up on the right.
	Thank you.
	A lot of them don't say that.
	And you're like, what's the side of the road?
	It's an outstanding product, but that soon it's just, you're going to get an upgrade, and literally, you'll be using your phone, and then all of a sudden your phone is just going to say, You are breaking too hard.
	And then your information will be sent somewhere.
	We've got to get off the grid, Johnny boy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's, you know, leave the thing at home.
	I don't drive that much.
	Yeah.
	Leave it at home.
	Just disconnect it.
	Yeah, no, it's hooked up.
	Could you explain to me what the brokered convention terminology means?
	Yeah.
	Please.
	It means that there's nobody with a clear majority of votes to win the nomination for the candidacy for the president.
	And so now you start doing deals.
	And that's the brokering part.
	You're starting to trade votes like a stock broker.
	You're trading.
	And this happens at the convention itself?
	Yes, it happens on the floor.
	So Al Cardenas...
	Who was the head of the American Conservative Union, who actually was running that CPAC thing that Sarah Palin and all these idiots were talking about.
	Douchebag fest.
	He says it's very possible that Jeb Bush would emerge as a possible alternative party nominee and it could all come to a head in a brokered convention.
	Yeah, I think...
	Yeah.
	I don't want to say too much, but I do think I kind of predicted that was going to happen.
	No, you did, but you did about three, four shows ago.
	So it doesn't count.
	When you said it, I said, ah, shit, I could have done that.
	So it doesn't count.
	But no, it counts.
	It was just definitely a winner.
	I don't know if it would be Jeb Bush, but the possibility does exist that somebody is not going to get this thing the way it's going.
	But I still stick with my thesis.
	Wait a minute, your thesis was Romney Santorum.
	That's your original thesis.
	No, no, my original thesis was Romney Perry.
	And I think that's done, but...
	But my secondary thesis, which I think has been in play, which is that the media and all the powers that be that get all the money, the media gets all the money, they are manipulating the election so it drags on so more and more money gets spent.
	And so they're trying to keep it as even as they can until the very last minute when one guy runs away with it and then that's the end of the gravy train.
	Well, it's funny.
	That's why they keep drawing attention to these super PACs.
	Oh, these super PACs.
	Right.
	Oh, look at all the money going into them.
	You rich guys, you could put money into one.
	It's terrible that you're doing that.
	Send us money.
	Money, money, money.
	It's like I was, before we got rudely interrupted last night, I was watching the returns of the main caucus, which is a caucus.
	It's not a...
	It's not a vote.
	It's not a classic elected vote.
	Yeah, it's just part of the show.
	It doesn't really count.
	The votes count.
	Well, yeah, so the difference was like 190 votes, and then the guy who was in charge of that in Maine says, well, we're just going to call it for Romney.
	Yeah, we could still do the remaining 10%, but it's going to be Romney.
	It doesn't matter.
	You know, it's like Ron Paul was like 194 votes behind.
	Of course it matters.
	And it's just like, oh, it doesn't matter.
	Ron Paul, you know, see, Ron Paul, you have to remember, is marginalized by the media and everybody in between because he doesn't have these super PACs.
	There's no money.
	You're going to make no money from this guy, Ron Paul, so screw him.
	Keep him out of the way and let's put the guys who are drawing all the cash.
	He's got no dough.
	You know, take the big money.
	These guys who are, you know, like Shelly Adelson is just pumping money into Newt Gingrich's campaign.
	And where does that money go?
	It goes right to the newspapers and the TV stations.
	That's right.
	So let's keep him in the race if we can, you know, because there's more money coming from Shelly.
	That's right.
	Just a real amazing, obvious money grab.
	And Ron Paul is not one of the moneyed guys.
	No, all you get from Ron Paul is...
	That's not good enough for CNN. No, you need money.
	Super PACs.
	Oh, they're so terrible.
	Oh, we had an interesting little two to the head.
	Very interesting.
	Besides Whitney Houston?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, first we had an interesting little thing happen.
	The U.S. Navy...
	Named a ship.
	A combat ship.
	After Gabrielle Giffords.
	The USS Gabrielle Giffords.
	Which I still think is in play with my theory that she's going to be very important in the upcoming election.
	You said she was going to be the nominee.
	This has been the book.
	Yes.
	In a brokered convention.
	Who knows what can happen.
	Jeffrey Zaslau Wall Street Journal reporter who wrote the book about Gabriel Giffords died.
	He was driving on a snow-covered highway in northern Michigan when he lost control and was hit by a truck.
	This is how the Russians used to do it.
	But he didn't only write that book.
	He also wrote Sully's book.
	Oh.
	Uh-huh.
	So maybe he was getting a little too big for his britches.
	Huh.
	Right?
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	Yeah, I'm not calling coincidence on this.
	I'm saying, you know, lost control while driving, hit by a truck.
	I mean, come on, man.
	This is how the Russians do it all the time.
	So obvious.
	In my book.
	In our red book.
	So, I'm digging through my no agenda fodder and I'm finding all these old stories.
	I can't figure out what happened to the ones I did.
	Well, I want to play one more of your clips.
	It's about time.
	I'm bored of myself.
	Okay, what do we got?
	Let's see, I've got to get back to the mail.
	Words matter looks like a good one.
	Words matter.
	This was, yeah, I played Words Matter.
	It's interesting.
	And so it doesn't connect.
	You've got to set this up.
	I have no idea what this is.
	You've got to set this up.
	You've got to set it up.
	You know this guy Frank Luns, Luns, whatever his name is, he does all this analysis.
	No.
	Of course Fox, and he does all this.
	He puts people on, you know, he's the one who does that little chart that shows people are more interested or less interested during a speech.
	It's on CNN all the time.
	You know, they're showing the speech, and then you see these two are red and a green line, and they're fighting with each other for, you know, what the women don't like, what this guy says, the men don't like it, and he does all this stuff.
	But I keep calling him Lutz because he looks like, I didn't realize, but he looks like the bonehead that's in the 30 Rock show.
	He's a writer on the show.
	But anyway, so he came on and just discussed some usages that I just thought was kind of interesting.
	This is a filler clip.
	It's nothing special, but it's worth noting.
	Essentially, he's bringing out research data that is essentially what we say on this show and we've been talking about for the last five years.
	And so it doesn't connect.
	All right, well, let's break down some of the phrases they use.
	I noticed President Obama never talks about taxes.
	He talks about revenue.
	Constantly, because nobody wants to pay more in taxes.
	It's okay for you, John Stossel, to pay more.
	But I don't want to pay more.
	So when you talk about revenues, everyone thinks it's somebody else who's going to get hit.
	Taxes, I pay, revenue, it's everything from somebody else.
	Exactly.
	So we don't have a tax increase, we have revenue enhancement.
	Enhancement, exactly.
	They always try to find ways to soften the negative or strengthen the positive.
	I noticed during the State of the Union speech, the President said, no more bailouts, no more handouts, no more cop-outs.
	Now think about that phrase.
	First off, it's appealing.
	It is appealing.
	When we tested this for Fox News, that was the number one phrase of his entire speech.
	No more bailouts?
	He's the one who gave the biggest bailout to the banks.
	Right.
	No more handouts?
	He just goes on and now he's grousing.
	Anyway, that was just kind of a short clip.
	Now I've got the thing open so I can see what we've got.
	I thought the most interesting thing I saw was a round of applause for Sarah Palin.
	Stockwell, the guy who used to be the head of budget under Reagan, wrote a book called Crony Capitalism.
	He was interviewed on C-SPAN, like two or three.
	It's actually quite a good interview when he talks about crony capitalism.
	He brought crony capitalism back to the forefront.
	Palin gives a speech at CPAC as if she invented the word...
	Because his audience is so brain dead, they give her a huge round of applause.
	Nobody ever credits Stockman for repopularizing the word.
	I just found it quite annoying, but here's the reaction she got.
	To serve the common good.
	But this Washington is a place where politicians, they arrive as men and women of modest means, and they become plutocrats.
	The money-making opportunities for D.C. politicians are really endless.
	But they don't just enrich themselves off of you for themselves.
	They spread the wealth around to their pals.
	And this has a name.
	It's called crony capitalism.
	Ah!
	You know, I defended her somewhat in the beginning, because I did read her book, and I was basically defending the reading of books.
	Because people were like, I can't believe you read a book!
	And I'm like, yeah, of course I read her book.
	And of course she didn't write that book.
	We have the author's name and the ghost writer.
	And she paid the extra money to keep his name off the cover.
	If you don't know how this works, you can't write.
	You hire a ghostwriter.
	You hire a ghostwriter and you pay him one of two fees.
	You either pay him extra money, but their name is off the book.
	Or if you won't put out the extra dough, then their name has width, and it has their name, and the person who actually wrote the book, and they get on the cover.
	Well, the problem with Sarah Palin is, of course, she's had some weird work done, probably on her...
	They probably implanted a chip.
	But anyway, she is...
	She, to me now, is the Whitney Houston of politics.
	Just total nincompoop.
	Well, she's definitely...
	Doesn't look her best.
	Her old makeup artist isn't around anymore.
	No, I don't think she can afford it.
	I think that's the problem.
	I think she's broke.
	I think she just does anything for money, whatever they want her to come up with.
	If she's broke, she ran through an awful lot of money quickly.
	Again, the Whitney Houston of politics.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Huh, huh.
	Well, on the subject of being broke, we're still working our way up to some solvency.
	Jake M., we have some donors that we want to thank.
	Jake M., $150.
	Thank you for providing the best podcast in the universe and would ask that you de-douche me.
	He's been a long-time listener and boner.
	You've been de-douched.
	He wants us to send some karma to Matt and Sarah as they continue producing more slaves.
	They sent some karma our way.
	Wife went a few shows ago and since then I had a significant raise and my wife Kirsten locked in her number one choice for her medical residency program.
	Glad I found a hot smoking sugar mama with brains.
	I think that deserves a MILF karma shot.
	That's one mother.
	I like this.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Good one.
	Thank you very much.
	Appreciate that.
	$130 or more in Carol in Des Moines, Washington.
	It's been 18 months since my last donation, so can I get de-douched?
	Absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	I know you guys say that karma only lasts about seven days, but when I last donated, I asked for karma for my friend's invention, beer machine that fills through the bottom.
	Oh, that was, yeah, I remember that a couple years ago.
	And they now, 18 months later, have machines installed in over 100 locations and had machines at the Super Bowl.
	Wow.
	So karma can last at least 18 months.
	Ixnay on the 18-unxnay.
	Shh.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Michael Voss from Parts Unknown, $121.12.
	Jesse Wilson, Hobart, Indiana, $111.11.
	And then Anonymous from Brownsville, Texas, $102.14 is a financially strapped schmuck.
	I already regret parting with this money, but I'm donating anyway because Thursday's show was awesome.
	Cool.
	Whether or not listeners consider this show to be a bunch of crock, a bunch of crock, I'll be damned if Crackpot's crap about Leviathan wasn't convincing, entertaining, and terrifically depressing.
	We're all screwed.
	John's not getting any better with the slide whistle.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, bullcrap.
	I know what I'm doing.
	ReadNoAgenda.com is amazing.
	When I checked it out, I was pretty impressed that a similar podcast transcription tool had not been made previously.
	It was created specifically for No Agenda, apparently.
	Check it out, Slaves.
	Point four is best podcasting in the universe.
	Give a karma shot to the guy who made ReadNoAgenda.com.
	Fanscribed at GoldenSpud, G-L-D-N-Spud on Twitter.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	We thought karma.
	Yeah, I put that in the show notes now every single time.
	At the top of the credits of the show notes, I put fanscribe transcription.
	So this will be 382.readnoagenda.com.
	You should definitely pitch in on that.
	That's great.
	Ryan Breedlove, Amory, Mississippi.
	$100.
	Rhino the Bearded, a.k.a.
	Ryan Breedlove.
	This donation is for a double shot of karma.
	One is for John, Adam, and the rest of the No Agenda community.
	It's a thanks for all you've done to help me accomplish in the past year.
	You have made me a better human resource, and I thank you for that.
	Second is for some karma for my No Agenda Best Podcast Universe award show.
	Kickstarter.
	Wait a minute.
	We have an award show?
	Yes.
	Do we get a tribute?
	Remember, for less than a cup of coffee, you can end your douchebag ways and help two podcasters live the American dream of just getting by.
	It can be found at itm.imkip2, which is...
	You're going to have to link it.
	And the donation segments are always one of my favorite parts of the show.
	Never get rid of them.
	You've got karma.
	You know, I've got to...
	Can I just interject for a moment?
	Bookmark.
	I want to say something about that after we've thanked everybody.
	Sir Ryan Barrow of Wooten Bassett.
	$100 I'd like to contribute to keep Adam from having to do voiceover work.
	I should find another one for the show.
	Yeah, it seems to work.
	Yes, well, hey, it brings in...
	Go to Old Navy for puffery.
	Pufferize yourself.
	I'll find another one while you're talking.
	Andrew Seuss, $100.
	Also, I have a little one here.
	Hold on a second.
	Michael Miller, he needs a call-out in Karma for his wife, Catherine, $126, and he wants a Hey Citizen Karma call-out for his wife.
	Hey Citizen Karma, okay.
	Hey Citizen.
	You've got Karma.
	He's over there on the other side of the bay.
	He actually can watch me with his binoculars.
	Would you like McDonald's?
	Sorry?
	Would you like McDonald's?
	Why would I like McDonald's?
	Would you like to hear my McDonald's audition?
	Oh, God.
	Which I didn't get.
	Adam Curry, Vox Agency, McDonald's early adopter.
	Now, by the way, this is what I resort to when donations are down.
	You always have to be the first in line.
	You got a smartphone back when everyone else's phone was just sort of clever.
	You're in before in is even in.
	And now you're determined to be the very first person to try what's new at McDonald's.
	Come rain or shine.
	Or rain.
	So wait a minute.
	Was the script actually using the clever joke?
	Yeah.
	So they came up with a joke that says when smartphones were just clever?
	Yeah.
	Listen to this.
	The simple joy of being first.
	Oh, God.
	It's so bad.
	I listen to it, and I do these with earnest.
	Yeah.
	Because if you get one commercial, you can make a lot of money on a national spot.
	Yeah, well, especially if it's video.
	How many commercials do you think I've gotten?
	None.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Zero.
	A big fat zero.
	You have to keep trying.
	Well, I'm going to have to.
	Sarah Morrill in Montreal, Quebec says no.
	$99.99.
	I donate today with a happy heart and a tale of supreme no agenda karma success.
	That's another one.
	For the past two years, I've been battling Revenue Canada because they wanted to tax me personally on an arts grant that I received in 2003, which is usually tax free.
	I was asked to pay a large sum, which included heavy penalties and much arrears interest.
	I received no agenda karma at each step along the way after the audit upon objecting to the reassessment.
	And finally, when I submitted my case to the tax court of Canada, well, third time lucky.
	I won.
	The judge says that the Canadian reviewer.
	review agency's case against me would not hold up in court and they were ordered to pay back the thousands of dollars that they stole from me so i donate again to share the wealth and thank you both for the countless hours of witty and intelligent banner that helped me get through my hellish ordeal I'd also like to wish my partner in crime, Valentino, a happy birthday, which we'll give.
	That is so nice.
	And that was Sarah Morley.
	In Montreal.
	Thank you.
	That's very generous of you to share in that.
	Thank you so much.
	I appreciate it.
	Yes.
	Hey John and Adam, this is Michael Maiatico in Milton, Ontario, another Canadian, 65-56.
	Hey John and Adam, listening since episode one.
	I have not donated in a while, but I had to go.
	I just had to after that mind-blowing episode on Thursday's show.
	Can I get de-douched and he'd like some karma for me and my family?
	How about a double?
	Yeah, you got it.
	Douchebag!
	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
	No, no, no!
	No, no, no!
	I'm so sorry.
	Oh, I take that back.
	Let's do it properly now.
	You've been de-douched karma.
	I'm sorry.
	I was off.
	Okay, but you get the douchebag button ready because he's got a couple.
	You'd like to call out Joe LaMorte as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	For listening and not donating.
	And Christopher Richards as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	For not donating in a while.
	Please note I have forwarded the following domain to No Agenda Show.

	Thanks for that.
	That's not bad.
	Yeah, I like that.
	Thanks for keeping us slaves informed.
	Keep up the great work.
	Thank you so much.
	And now Stephan in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

	Well, it's a little late.
	It's $3.82, but that's okay.
	We'll put in the dollar.
	Happy birthday to me.

	Sorry I've not donated a long time, but times have been hard.
	I'd like to dedicate the donation to my amazing girlfriend, Gemma, who has now become a loyal No Agenda listener.
	I got Gemma listening to No Agenda whilst on holiday.
	Whilst.
	Whilst.
	That's one hot elf, baby.
	On holiday lounging by the pool and she now listens to the show on her long commute to work and she loves the show and thinks you're both amazing.
	Please tell Gemma that I love her lots.
	Can you give her a Hey Citizen shout out and a Karma as I'm sure she needs it putting up with me all the time.
	Yeah, no doubt.
	Hey Citizen.
	You've got Karma.
	He also wants karma as he's waiting to hear if I have an interview for a new role this week.
	I'm currently studying toward becoming a penetration tester.
	Wow.
	A penetration tester.
	Sounds like a good gig to me.
	There's a slide whistle when I need it.
	Possibly the first no-agenda hacker of the roundtable in the future.
	I'd also like to know if it's not too much trouble for a karma shot from my friend John Robinson, who's got me listening to the show in hopes to see more regularly.
	I think he got a karma shot, so he can share.
	Please keep exposing to the corrupt douchebags.
	Yeah, we try.
	All right.
	Lauren DeBruyne.
	Lawrence DeBrun.

	Hey, John and Adam, instead of some lame-ass card, I'd like to make this a Valentine's Day donation to my dear little...
	Wife Astrid in Gitmo Nation Deutschland.
	He says Maulwurf.
	What is that?
	I don't know.
	Maulwurf.
	I don't know.
	I'll look it up.
	Maulwurf.
	It's probably something...
	Some slang.
	She's the only slave I've been able to bring on board.
	Although she has some trouble following her.
	How many do you need?
	What does it mean?
	I don't know.
	Slave.
	She has some trouble following the show due to your accents, pop culture references, and in jokes.
	She nevertheless seems to be on the crackpot side of things.
	Please give us some karma.
	I'm not sure if the last batch worked.
	Love 382.
	You've got karma.
	Oh.
	Malworth is German for mole.
	Maybe it's endearing.
	I guess, yeah.
	Alexander Munoz in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
	50-50 in the morning.
	Citizens, last time I asked for karma for a job, the job sucked.
	Not the karma's fault.
	I wasn't specific enough.
	So I went back to school and now I'm a seminary student asking for some grad school karma to keep me through my systematic theology.
	By the way, John, if you can correctly say my name, I'll donate another 50-50 next week.
	But I give you a 50-50 chance.
	Alexander Munoz.
	You've got karma.
	It's got to be it.
	It's on you, man.
	Hey, citizen.
	Well, you know, Ash in some place or other, 50-50.
	Hey, citizens, new listener, first time donor, giving is loving and all that.
	I know it's limited, but hopefully my 50 bucks will help support the thing inside the thing, inside the thing, inside the thing.
	That's no agenda.
	Glad you spotted Danny in Syria.
	He's definitely playing out the script, whether he knows it or not.
	Sky News over here in Gitmo Nation East gives him nearly five minutes of airtime, completely unchallenged by the presenter, where he doled out a series of completely unsubstantiated claims with no footage backing it up.
	You know what we should do, man?
	I mean, I got a green screen.
	We should become like correspondents.
	Yeah, when I say bullcrap.
	You know, just like grow the beard and stuff.
	We can't count the dead!
	And have a lot of clicking and stuff.
	Yeah, and just call in all these stations.
	The guy's making a killing.
	Anyway, if you can give me a Hey Citizen Karma, that would be lovely.
	Hey, citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Tight, tight, tight, tight.
	Tyler Crothers in Lincoln, Nebraska.
	$50.33.
	My last name is pronounced Crothers like brothers.
	I've been listening since show 198.
	Definitely need a de-douching.
	And please send some karma to his...
	Well, give him a de-douching and a separate karma to his friend, Zach.
	You've been de-douched.
	And karma for Zach.
	He builds amazing handmade products in Fort Collins.
	Let me give them the karma first while we're looking at this.
	You've got karma.
	What does he make?
	Etsy.com slash shop slash...
	This is really catchy.
	Yendrabilt.
	Yendrabilt is probably Googleable.
	Yendrabilt.
	Let's look at that after we finish up.
	Okay.
	Zoneplex Los Angeles, $50.
	Need Karma for his board game he has on Kickstarter.
	Fellow slaves know of its home at zoneplex.net.
	Game about pyramids and stargates and curry-isms.
	Oh, very nice.
	Can't wait to check that one out.
	You've got Karma.
	$50 from Christopher Witt in San Francisco.
	In the morning, I need a dedouching for not donating.
	The second I started listing in December, I graduated last May.
	I'm still looking for work.
	I recently applied for some jobs that look promising or appreciate some job karma, so he needs a combo douching.
	Oh, dedouching.
	Okay.
	You've been dedouched.
	Good old George...
	You've got karma.
	Good old George Scanlon in Carpentersville, Illinois.
	It comes over $50.
	Martin Peters.
	Martin Peters.
	In VNN. Vianen Utrecht.
	Vianen Utrecht.
	$50.
	Please give my hot milf Mikey.
	Is it Mikey?
	How do you pronounce that?
	Mikey.
	Mikey.
	A birthday shout-out for the 12th of February.
	Milf.
	That's one mother I'd like to...
	We have an anonymous donation from Kyoto for $50.
	Damon Estevez in Isabella, Puerto Rico, $50.
	This is my first time donating, but don't dedouche me since I've been listening for a year and kept procrastinating, so I pretty much deserve it.
	Instead, I'd like to ask for a shot of karma.
	I'm a college student.
	I need some divine intervention to pass a test this Tuesday.
	The donation comes via my part-time job as a CIS admin.
	Well, you do have to kind of study for the test, but here's the karma.
	It would help.
	You've got karma.
	And it's just karma.
	It's not like a SAT aid or something.
	Tristan Wilson-Kerrigan in...
	I thought they were in Wagga Wagga.
	No, no, Padbury.
	$50.
	Chad Biederman in Round Lake, Illinois, $50.
	I'm a believer no agenda karma works.
	A few weeks ago, I asked for karma for my sick cat, Mr.
	Fucker.
	Two days later, the vet finally discovered the problem and Mr.
	Fucker is fully recovered.
	Please send out a shout at karma to my fellow donors for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, that, uh...
	That, uh...
	Was it the stuff that guy makes?
	Yendra built?
	It's nice stuff.
	Fucker.
	He makes furniture.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I'll check that out.
	Yeah, beautiful furniture.
	Malcolm Blair on Kalamazoo, Michigan.
	$50.
	And that will conclude our donation segment.
	I want to thank everyone who helped us out here.
	And I want to remind you to go to dvorak.org slash nachanneldvorak.com, noagendashow.com, and...
	We have some make goods.
	Jeff Daly, so we're not sure if we mess these up or not, but they come in from Buzzkill Jr., who I would like to thank, by the way, for doing such a great job.
	He's been doing really good on the accounting and everything, particularly with all the PayPal crap going on.
	Jeff Daly had donated $6789.
	He just wanted karma for his wife.
	She's trying to get into vet school, so I want to make sure she gets her karma.
	You've got karma.
	And Christy Gurnett, or Gurnett, as we'd say here in Tejas, donated $56.78.
	Congrats on your engagement, Adam.
	Having recently gotten engaged myself, I'd like to ask for smooth wedding karma for you and yours and me and my amazing husband-to-be, David Foxx.
	He loves your show, and if you go down to one show a week, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
	Oh, one more thing.
	Can I get a Hot Pockets jingle just for me?
	Why don't we do a Hot Pockets Karma jingle combo for you?
	Hot Pockets!
	You've got karma.
	Perfect.
	And I did want to say, I got a strange email, John, which I didn't copy you on the response because it kind of made me mad.
	And when I do that, then you always say, why do you deal with this?
	Why do you even answer that?
	I do not.
	That's exactly what you do.
	You make me after some sort of an ogre behind the scenes.
	You're a buzzkill.
	Behind the scenes.
	By the way, I love this cube table from...
	Gendra Biltz.
	Nice stuff.
	So this person was saying, I mean, he was trying to ask it, and you know what, I should actually, I should almost like just get the email, because it was trying to be coy, but really, really kind of irked me.
	Okay, get to it.
	But it was about the donations.
	He's saying, you know, you're selling karma like...
	Here it is.
	Okay, I get the listener supporter model you and John use.
	Now listen to what he's saying.
	I understand why you don't sell advertising, although I could point to several instances where endorsement of certain products that happen to be sold by supporters of the show could be construed as such.
	Not true.
	I want to reiterate our model.
	All we want is people to support the show with the value they think that they're getting from the program.
	And we make suggestions.
	And we also, this is very different from like NPR. You want to take the NPR logo and go sell some mugs?
	Want to see what happens?
	You'll be sitting in jail, mofo.
	Anyone can take our show.
	They can do whatever they want.
	They can repost it.
	We encourage people to put it on their blog.
	Take logos, whatever you want.
	And if you make money off of it, it would be nice if you sent us something.
	No obligation.
	We have no connection to these products.
	Now, here's the question.
	If a listener or syndicate of listeners were to pay you and John to stop begging for donations, would you do it?
	I was offended by that.
	We're not begging for donations.
	It's a value-for-value model, and 99% of our audience listens to this on a podcast.
	If it annoys you to listen to this, and by the way, sometimes I think it's funny to listen.
	I think we try to make it entertaining, but I think our donation segment is sometimes the best part of the show.
	I agree.
	But once in a while.
	Yeah.
	You can fast forward through it.
	No one's forcing you to listen to the segment or to the show at all.
	Go away.
	And then he says, would you stop the modern day equivalent of early Roman Catholics selling indulgences?
	You call it karma.
	The modern Pentecostals call it word-faith-giving.
	They're both offensive to intelligent people who, under other circumstances, would support you.
	Bullcrap!
	Bullcrap!
	We had a guy that...
	There's one note that we both got from some guy.
	He says, you know, you guys should only do one show a week.
	I'll give you...
	I'll donate if you go to one show a week.
	Right.
	But, you know, over the years, the first thing you learn is these guys who promise to do something if you do something.
	Mm-hmm.
	They never do it.
	They're just trying to get you to do what they want.
	And it's like they're basically the scammers trying to push their weight around and trying to trick you.
	But why don't you do this?
	I remember this one guy.
	There used to be some guy in Holland, by the way, who disappeared.
	He stopped listening.
	But he would donate a nickel.
	I had to look at this all the time.
	He'd do it like he'd donate a nickel about ten times a day for like a couple months.
	And so the PayPal thing would have the nickel in and the nickel out.
	Because it would cost a nickel, right?
	You get enough?
	Yeah, they wouldn't charge me more than the nickel, but they would pull the nickel back and I never got a nickel.
	Just zero.
	Literally never got a nickel from the guy.
	And the guy sent a note in, he says, and he had all these things he would do.
	He says, you know, if you guys stop asking for donations, then I'll donate.
	Yeah.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	So this guy then tries to trick me.
	He says, in return for a truly anonymous income stream that did not depend on anything but you simply dissecting the media, i.e.
	your show without the offensive beg-fest, would you do it?
	If so, what is the magic number?
	Give us the dollar amount.
	Now let me just say, we would never do that.
	A, all of the support for the show is completely transparent.
	We tell you the numbers.
	We give you the amounts right here.
	We know who's donating.
	We don't want anonymous.
	And if we actually, oh, you know what?
	Let's not talk about our value-for-value model.
	Let's just take this big chunk of money from some anonymous sources.
	That's the easiest way to kick us off the air or compromise us.
	Because all they have to do is say, oh, we're not going to pay you this month.
	And then we'd be screwed.
	So we're never going to do that.
	I didn't like what you...
	Well, he's already offended by certain aspects of the show.
	So you already have a bad advertiser.
	Somebody who's got nothing good to say is moaning and groaning.
	This is exactly why we don't take advertising because you can never find...
	There's no such thing as a good advertiser.
	They're always, well, you know, we don't think you should.
	You know, we're big supporters of Ron Paul or we're supporters of Mitt Romney and we don't want to hear bad things about him.
	Right.
	Right.
	Oh, we don't like that.
	We don't like the moon-based stories.
	Or you're not doing enough of this.
	Or you're not doing enough of that.
	That's the other one.
	You're not doing enough.
	Why don't you just do that?
	We've built this model over five years.
	And you're wasting your time by sending these complaints.
	Yeah.
	You are.
	Well, they're wasting everybody's time.
	I'm reminded of Peter Goober once had this great show called Shootout with Peter Bart.
	It was on the AMC on Sunday mornings.
	It was about the movie business and it was all inside stuff.
	But Goober talked about when he was running the Sony Pictures.
	He was the president and CEO. So they came back for a year and they did like 20 movies and there were two mega hits.
	And it goes to these Sony executives who are saying, what's wrong with this movie?
	Oh, that movie didn't do very well.
	This movie didn't do very well.
	This one did okay.
	And then this was a big hit.
	And this was a huge hit.
	And the Sony executive with the straight faces, I have it.
	I know what to do.
	Do more movies like these two.
	What an idiot.
	You know, do more of these.
	Why are you doing these other movies that aren't making money?
	Just do these two over, you know, in different ways.
	It's like you don't get it.
	Also, people think it's the same with us.
	People think it's so easy.
	They're like, man, I can't believe you talk about Whitney Houston.
	It's real easy.
	I just sit here all week and make up the great stuff.
	I just make it up.
	This is hard work that we do.
	Hard work.
	It's also boring at some times.
	Yeah.
	It's deadly.
	So it's like a good trade-off.
	You know, we enlighten people's lives, particularly people who drive a lot and commute a lot, and they like it, and they get entertainment out of it, and they work hard at their jobs, and we're sharing it, and we're commies!
	It's great.
	I love it.
	It works.
	It's perfect.
	We're commies.
	All right.
	If you want to support the show, there's only one thing I have to do is program your brain to remember this.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A-N. All right, and of course, people always like to donate some cash.
	No blankets or water, thank you very much, just cash.
	To hear their name mentioned on the show in relation to her birthday, Devin Osterhoff congratulates himself.
	He celebrates today.
	Happy birthday, Sarah Morley.
	Congratulates her partner in crime, Valentino, born on the 14th.
	Hmm, wonder how they came up with that name.
	Christopher Witt, Witte, or Witt.
	Congratulations to his girlfriend Eliza.
	She turns 25 on the 17th, or Eliza, but I think Eliza.
	Russ from Wildwood says happy birthday to himself.
	He celebrates on the 23rd.
	Martin Peters to his MILF Micah.
	Ah, she celebrates today.
	And Vicki Williamson for her husband Marty.
	He turns 46 on Valentine's Day.
	Happy birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Hey, hey!
	Any nights?
	No, we haven't had nights in a while.
	Nighthoods are kind of dwindling a little bit.
	It's okay.
	We gave ourselves this month to evaluate, and people got the message, which is nice, and it's appreciated, and I feel loved, and when I feel loved, I do good work.
	I come up with Leviathan-type stuff, or at least my eyes get opened.
	Now you've got to beat it.
	You've got to do better.
	Well, I don't think I can beat the gay thing with John Huntsman.
	You've raised the bar on me.
	Hey, somebody's got to do it.
	Well, something interesting did happen, and it kind of got snowed under.
	And I've edited the compromised ABC News report from Diane Sawyer, so I can listen to what is being said, and then I'd like to, there's a Bloomberg report that relates back to what this is, and I connected a couple dots, and this has to do with campaign finance for President Obama, who, by the way, doesn't seem to be spending a lot of money on anything yet.
	I don't think he has any cash.
	I think he needs to get some cash.
	Do you see any money flowing?
	I don't see any super PACs spending tons of dough.
	Well, he opened a super PAC. I think they're collecting a lot of money, and if all goes well, he cannot run for re-election and take the money home.
	Close to a billion dollars.
	Well, he needs to come up with probably one five or two billion to really do it.
	To really make the media love him, he has to come up with a lot more money.
	Well, a billion will be the record.
	I mean, no one's ever spent even a billion yet.
	By the way, if you just change two letters in Romney's name, it says our money.
	Which I think should be...
	Would you call him that?
	His name is our money, yo!
	Our money!
	You know what?
	I mean, it's like subliminal.
	You look at Romney, and I keep seeing our money.
	Our money.
	Your money, my money.
	I keep seeing Romy.
	No, I see our money.
	Well, now I might start seeing that.
	But think about the connotation.
	It's our money.
	The original gangster rapper.
	Our money, y'all.
	So here is, of course, we've bailed out the banks.
	We gave them more than a trillion dollars.
	We lent them trillions and trillions of dollars.
	Everyone was scamming.
	Everything's a freaking scam.
	That they're sitting on.
	No one goes to jail.
	Not a single, except for that one idiot who did like an insider deal.
	That one Indian guy.
	Yeah, he's the scapegoat.
	He's the patsy.
	The one guy.
	He may not even be in jail.
	We don't even know if he's in jail.
	He was convicted.
	I don't know if he was convicted.
	No one cares.
	And this comes out, the president makes a big deal about this, which is kind of like, I'm going to open my stash and I'm going to give you all some money.
	And this is about the $26 billion fine, and it's positioned as such.
	John, you own your house, right?
	You have a mortgage on it, though, but you own it, right?
	Yeah.
	And you have a mortgage.
	Yeah.
	So, do you think that you're underwater?
	No, I'm not underwater.
	That's a bummer, because even if you're $1 underwater...
	I'm better off.
	Yeah, probably.
	But even if you're $1 underwater, according to this new scheme, the banks are going to help you.
	So there's two parts to this.
	One, I know what this is.
	They're not actually going to take any money off of your principal.
	That's a lie.
	And you'll hear the Attorney General from New York in this report skirt around the issue.
	What they do is, let's say you have a 30-year mortgage, they're going to lower your monthly payments.
	And the way you lower the monthly payment is by saying, okay, we'll just extend your loan to 40 years.
	That's how they do it.
	They're not actually going to give you any money.
	Well, that's no good.
	Well, no, of course not.
	But listen to Diane Schroer.
	Who was probably drunk again.
	And then this guy talked, I've edited this down to like a minute and a half because it's a long report making it feel good.
	It's just all kinds of weird stuff and then I'll read the Bloomberg report.
	Today the Justice Department announced that five of America's biggest banks will be forced to pay a record penalty $26 billion for their role in the mortgage mess.
	They will also have to help a lot more homeowners renegotiate better mortgage terms.
	So tonight, millions of American families are asking this.
	What does it mean for us?
	How much?
	How soon?
	And ABC's David Muir talked to the people who negotiated this deal today, David.
	By the way, it's great, isn't it?
	Like, hey man, Obama, he's coming through!
	He's going to give me some of his stash!
	Yo!
	Screw that our money, bitch!
	Obama's gonna give me money!
	Diane, as you know, we've been reporting from day one here on homeowners struggling to get the banks to modify their mortgages.
	And tonight, here's what's different about this landmark settlement.
	These five banks have agreed to help homeowners across the board, not just the ones missing payments.
	All homeowners who are underwater paying more on their mortgage than their home is worth.
	Tonight, those five banks have now agreed to spend that $26 billion to finally help nearly one million struggling homeowners either refinancing their mortgage rate or modifying their mortgage altogether.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Modifying their mortgage altogether, which means it's just going to be modified in time.
	This is what the original plan was, which no one bought into.
	New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman helped lead the charge with all 50 states.
	Let's talk about the average homeowner.
	When they hear about their mortgage coming down, the principal, how much is it going to come down?
	It's going to be done on a case-by-case basis.
	Bullshit!
	10,000, 20,000, it could well be, could be more.
	Wouldn't it be like some percentage or something?
	No.
	Could well be.
	Could be more.
	Case by case.
	Bullshit.
	Economists tell us the average homeowner helped could see $20,000 knocked off what they owe.
	And their rate?
	The American homeowner paying a mortgage rate of, say, 7%, $175,000 in debt?
	This plan could help bring their mortgage rate down to 5.5%, saving them $250 a month, $3,000 a year.
	Yeah, but when you have extended payments...
	Then, yeah, your percentage rate goes down, but you're actually going to wind up paying more at the end.
	It's a trick, I think.
	You were telling me earlier that even if you're a dollar behind, you could get a letter in some states.
	Yes, the banks are being forced, even if you're just a dollar underwater on your mortgage, to send you a letter to say, come on in, let's take another look at your mortgage.
	And what about those Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae?
	Yeah, that's the other half of the population in this country.
	I asked New York's Attorney General.
	He said their eyes are on Fannie and Freddie next.
	And so for homeowners watching us tonight, stay tuned for that.
	Okay, so obviously it's only for half of the country.
	Now here's what was kind of weird.
	So I'm trying to find out, I'm trying to find the document of the actual agreement.
	And producers, bat signal to producers, please find me.
	I love reading this stuff.
	I don't care if it's a thousand pages of legalese.
	I'll get through it.
	I'll do this.
	This is what I do so you don't have to.
	I want to read the document.
	I can't find it anywhere.
	I just can't.
	You want to read some cables from China about gay marriage?
	You've got to keep busy somehow.
	So, I'm reading a report on Bloomberg, written by Stephen Greenhut.
	And he says, I'll just read this to you.
	Why should a taxpayer in Houston or Wichita bail out irresponsible California homeowners, banks, and the state public employees' retirement fund?
	Yet, that's exactly what the Obama administration is looking to do in its latest effort to shore up a housing market that continues to sag as large percentages of Americans remain underwater in their mortgages.
	The administration is pleased that California's Attorney General is now on board with the President's multi-billion dollar bank settlement after securing tougher measures to benefit individual homeowners.
	More good California-based news for President Barack Obama.
	Bank of America Corp.
	has become the first large mortgage provider in the Golden State to take part in a federally funded keep-your-home program that would pay banks to reduce the balances that struggling California homeowners owe them.
	So apparently Stephen Greenhut has more information than I can get my hands on.
	It sounds to me like what ABC News is reporting as a penalty, these banks will be just lopping off, more depending on individual cases, lopping off some money, that California is actually getting the money from the government.
	I'll read that again.
	Yeah, you might as well.
	More good California-based news for President Barack Obama.
	Bank of America Corp.
	has become the first large mortgage provider in the Golden State to take part in a federally funded Keep Your Home program that would pay banks to reduce the balances that struggling California homeowners owe them.
	So I'm like, so I'm looking around, I'm trying to figure out, well, what is going on?
	How come, on one hand, we're being told the banks are being penalized, on the other hand, it appears that this whole program is being paid for.
	And then I see, I notice, because, you know, I'm all over this California thing, because that's where I believe, based upon all this Ulster report and insider stuff that I've been reading, that Obama's A previous campaign was funded through the corrupt bank out there in California that got federal tax dollars in the bailout.
	And that money from Feinstein got stolen.
	So the banks in California are highly suspicious in my book.
	And it says,"...the administration is pleased that California Attorney General is now on board with the President's multi-billion dollar bank settlement." So who is the Attorney General of California?
	Now remember, this is the guy that the long-term Democratic insider fought against and got killed for.
	California Attorney General is Kamala Harris.
	Right?
	So Kamala Harris says, yep, we're on board.
	Bring that money in.
	Interesting that Kamala Harris' brother-in-law is a guy named Tony West, who is an assistant attorney general working directly under Eric Holder.
	But Tony West, in 2008, was a bundler for Obama, who brought in, are you sitting down, 65 million dollars.
	Now, when you read about people who bundled donations for a presidential campaign, it's a million here, a million there.
	This guy brought in $65 million?
	That's a big amount of money.
	So I'm smelling a big rat here.
	That this money is going to go right out of the federal coffers, or print it up at the Federal Reserve, be sent to Citibank, and it's going to go straight into Obama's Super PAC. Well, that's a good idea.
	Why didn't we think of it?
	So if anyone can find me documentation on whether this is truly a...
	Payment that these banks have to make, or if they're getting...
	Maybe they're getting another $26 billion in really zero interest loan that they can just borrow from the Fed and then they can use that.
	I mean, I need to know what's going on here because, of course, Whitney Houston died, so no one's reporting on it.
	But this is very, very, very suspicious.
	And this Kamala Harris, who had to win, and who the longtime Democratic insider who actually organized, the guy who saw that there were two Obamas or whatever, he saw something and he started talking about it, got killed.
	He's the guy that is now saying, oh, I'm on board.
	And to be honest about it, there's no reason.
	Kamala Harris was really, wasn't a very good at, she was the district attorney in San Francisco, wasn't very good at her job.
	She had none of the qualifications to actually get this other job.
	And had a very strong Republican candidate from Southern California, where all the votes are.
	I was leaving the whole time and somehow she wins.
	Yeah.
	How does that work?
	It was kind of a surprise to me.
	Well, great.
	Thanks.
	Well, no, it's my project for the coming week.
	I'm going to look into this.
	I love these documents.
	Please send me...
	I mean, the president can't just say, I did a deal.
	I did a deal with these gas 26 bill and not publish the documents.
	You can't just do that.
	Well, he can do whatever he wants, obviously, but you know what I mean?
	It's like that should be public, shouldn't it?
	I can't find it.
	I can't find it.
	I mean, maybe I'm not Googling right.
	Somebody should be able to help me.
	What's it called again?
	Keep Your Home Program.
	Maybe I didn't Google that term.
	Let's see.
	You may have to contact one of the congressional offices to get somebody to help you from the inside.
	Yeah, but which one is not dangerous to my health?
	I think you're a local boy there in Texas.
	Texas is pretty safe.
	Keepyourhomecalifornia.org.
	Huh.
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	So I'll be looking into that.
	And let me just, I only got one more thing, which is, you know, I can't help myself calling out the shills who are telling you to take Gardasil.
	The dentist now telling you to take Gardasil.
	55-year-old women emailing me saying, you know, my doctor said I should take Gardasil.
	I haven't used that thing in years.
	But now Dr.
	Drew, the biggest shill in the biz.
	So he's talking about the Leroy 200 now, I think.
	I lost count how many children are going schizofroid crazy ticozoid.
	There's a little clip one of our producers sent us.
	My question is basically...
	I've heard kind of like various different kinds of long-term horror stories for people who've received anal sex over the long term.
	Now, I myself have only given it.
	And my question is...
	Now, did you hear what he said?
	I just want to make sure you hear what he said.
	He has something about he's always given it.
	Anal sex.
	He says about long-term anal sex.
	This is a Dr.
	Drew question on television.
	So he's talking about anal sex and he's saying that he only gives, so he would be what we call in the business, a top.
	I'll play it again and listen to Dr.
	Drew's...
	What business is this?
	Go on.
	My question is basically...
	I've heard kind of, like, various different kinds of long-term horror stories for people who've received anal sex over the long term.
	Now, I myself have only given it.
	And my question is, is it really true that if you receive it, like, on a regular basis when you're younger, that when you hit, like, 50, you're going to be, like, wearing Depends or...
	No, wait.
	Legitimate question.
	As a bi-curious male, my ears perk up.
	I'm like, okay.
	I don't want to be wearing Depends.
	So, how does Dr.
	Drew answer this?
	Well, normally you don't hit 50 if you've received it on a regular basis when you're younger because you get claimed by AIDS, but nowadays...
	That's Adam Carolla, by the way.
	Well, let's be honest.
	Well, the big thing you've got to watch out for now is HPV. You've got to make sure you get that Gardasil vaccine because the HPV is highly associated with anal cancer, but also head and neck cancer.
	So even if you're just engaging in oral sex, you've got to take that Gardasil vaccine.
	It's insane not to take it.
	How about not penetrating your anus?
	It's insane not to take...
	You're insane!
	Are you engaged in anal sex?
	You're insane not to take Gardasil.
	It will protect you.
	What a crock!
	Of course!
	You're insane!
	Dr.
	Drew, you are the biggest shill in the universe.
	That was bad.
	It's horrible.
	It's just absolutely, it's abhorrent, actually.
	This is the definition of abhorrent.
	Unbelievable.
	Well, that was a nice depressing clip.
	I'm sure it doesn't bother you.
	What?
	The clip?
	Or these guys?
	And he's not the worst.
	He's one of the worst.
	But I don't think he's the worst shill.
	That other guy who keeps wearing the smock.
	Sanjay?
	Show what?
	No, no, not Sanjay.
	I would put him under Drew.
	No, there's this one guy.
	He's got this on some show.
	He's the Oprah doctor.
	Oh, Dr.
	Oz.
	Dr.
	Oz.
	Yeah, Dr.
	Oz.
	That guy's terrible.
	Yeah, well, here's what they're going to be talking about.
	They're going to be talking about Viagra now being an effective treatment for...
	A very rare disease in children.
	Of course, it's very handy that Viagra is running out of patent, so we've got to find some other uses for it.
	Stanford researchers have discovered a drug for a rare and often untreatable disease that leaves children with massive and sometimes deadly growths on their faces, necks, and other parts of their bodies.
	Here's the twist.
	The drug is Viagra.
	I mean, how do you discover that?
	Hey, kid, you've got this horrible growth on your face.
	Take this.
	Take this blue five-month-old girl.
	Here.
	Lane stumbled upon Viagra as a possible treatment.
	And this is from the San Francisco Chronicle.
	SFGate.
	SFGate.
	Lane stumbled upon Viagra as a possible treatment for that child, a five-month-old girl, by accident.
	How does that happen?
	Come on.
	And then, of course, it's that time of year again.
	The new DSM is coming out.
	This is the American Psychiatric Association.
	They describe the mental disorders.
	Everything now is a mental disorder.
	That's right.
	Millions of healthy people, including shy or defiant children, grieving relatives, and people with fetishes may be labeled mentally ill.
	Yeah, grieving is mentally ill.
	Somebody just died.
	Oh, they died.
	I don't know why, but you're mentally ill, lady.
	You're mentally ill.
	And if you have a fetish, you're mentally ill.
	And of course, we have the oppositional defiant disorder.
	That's my favorite.
	I think I have that.
	No!
	Yeah.
	You can't make me.
	Yeah.
	I want an iPad!
	Oppositional defiant disorder and apathy syndrome.
	Oh, And of course, I'm sure there'll be some lovely drugs for it.
	Vivance, Adderall, whatever they come up with.
	Viagra!
	I think Viagra.
	Just give Viagra to everybody.
	What a wonderful world it would be.
	Are you shy or defiant?
	Or do you have a horrible growth on your face?
	Viagra!
	You're not fooling me, people.
	So in California, I might have mentioned this, that they've decided to jack up the corrections, another $895 million.
	So it's $8.7 billion.
	What do you mean?
	This is what they're spending on prisons?
	On prisons.
	They're going to jack it up by another almost an additional billion dollars.
	And to do that, they've decided to pull all the funding for the library's Killing a mere $12.5 million.
	So every library now is being defunded by the state so it could go into prisons.
	This is a California Democrat-dominated system.
	We've got the governors, Jerry Brown and all of us.
	So the idea is just to give more money to prisons and keep kids out of those damn libraries by shutting them down.
	Yeah, because that'll put them in prison faster.
	Yeah, there's money to be made in prison.
	Nobody makes money from a kid going to a library and reading a book that they could have bought.
	And you said, I bummed you out with the anal sex thing?
	No reading.
	No reading.
	Just go to jail.
	Or go to jail and do some work in there.
	There's a lot of work to be done.
	Alright, I think we should get out of here, John, because you're bumming me out.
	We do have a No Agender Producer update coming.
	If you're listening to the live stream, they will be speaking about fixing the stream, no doubt.
	I'm not quite sure what's going on, but we may be...
	What's wrong with the stream?
	I don't know.
	It's like we're being jacked somehow.
	And about the new website, which, of course, lots of...
	What new website?
	Well, the NAG Radio website.
	Oh, okay.
	When you hear the show, you'll know what that was.
	And this evening, if you are going to watch, I presume a lot of people will, it'll be a huge show predicting big ratings for the Grammys.
	When Jennifer Hudson performs, be on the lookout for triangles, pyramids, all-seeing eyes, and checkerboards.
	Guarantee you they're going to be in there.
	Illuminati.
	After your ass.
	Trying to take your energy.
	They won't get mine because I'm here at Cap Mofo in the Drone Star State.
	On your side, fighting evil every single day in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where, I don't know, not much is happening, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Talk to you again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Now get out there and whoop Obama's behind the...
