Time Text
I think somebody's listening to our show.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Sunday, February 19, 2012.
Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 384.
This is no agenda.
Measuring the balance of the universe here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state, Austin, Texas.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where bonds backed by mortgages regain allure.
I'm John C. Devorak.
You know you're not on the Horowitz show, right?
I just read that was the top headline in the New York Times this morning.
Bonds backed by mortgages.
What was it?
Regain allure.
I mean, who writes a headline like that by the New York Times?
Yeah, really?
So that means that something's up.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I actually thought that we were kind of done.
I was paying very close attention between Thursday and today.
Oh boy.
My air conditioner just went crazy.
And I think we've conquered evil.
There was a lot of stupidity, but there wasn't a lot of evil to fight in these past couple of days.
It's more fun.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
But actual evil, I think we've temporarily set them back a little bit.
Well, that's because it's a holiday.
Every time there's a holiday, if you haven't noticed things, slow down.
What holiday?
Tomorrow is President's Day.
It's a big holiday.
The post office is closed.
The banks are closed.
Do you even keep up with this stuff?
No.
When you live like me, when you don't have an office to go to, the only thing I care about is Thursdays and Sundays.
I don't know.
It's like, oh, what?
President's Day or whatever.
No, I don't keep up with that.
Not at all.
I have no idea.
And isn't that just a car shopping holiday in America?
Isn't that we all go and buy cars?
Well...
Or a white sale.
Is that white sale?
Is that refrigerators and ovens and stoves?
I thought white sales were sheets.
No, I thought a white sale was refrigerators.
Oh, sheets.
No, well, you're not going to go out and buy sheets.
Yeah, people buy sheets.
Okay.
At Macy's.
Yeah.
Well, in the morning.
Macy's always has the white sale.
They don't sell refrigerators that I know of.
In the morning to you, John.
In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships at sea and all boots on the ground and feet in the air.
And we also had a washed up on shore foot.
Yeah, we did.
We did.
Yeah, well, you know, we still track it, but it's just, it's boring now.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It's like, okay, so once in a while...
Did you see the analysis that says it's due to, a lot of people believe it's possibly a cult of raping dolphins?
You know about this?
Yeah.
I haven't actually seen a series.
I've seen, like, you know, internet-type reports about this, that the dolphins are going crazy and eating people.
Yeah.
And they're raping them.
First they raped them and they supposedly, this is according to the, I don't, this is not, none of this is true.
Hey, citizen.
Well, that's what you said.
They have a, I guess a member that has like a hand on it.
And so it grabs people and then drags them down and rapes them and then their foot falls off and washes up on shore in BC. That's essentially the theory.
That's the theory.
Have you ever done that swimming with the dolphins thing?
No, I don't swim with the dolphins.
I've done that once.
It was a documentary.
I can't remember where I was.
Actually, it's quite expensive.
I think it's probably cruel as well.
These dolphins are locked into a fenced-off area.
It's like, hey, come on in and swim with the dolphins.
It's like $400 or something.
I got to do this as part of a documentary 15 years ago or something, maybe longer.
And I swam with Jake and the Fat Man.
It turns out, actually, two male dolphins.
And so, you know, there's a part of the getting to know them process before they, you know, swim with you, which is quite cool because you lay in the water with a life jacket on and they come up and they each put their snout underneath your foot and then start to push you.
So you're actually propelled out of the water, kind of like hydroplaning.
It's a very cool experience.
And so, you know, we're playing with these dolphins.
They roll over, and then the handler says, oh, don't pet his belly.
And the reason why becomes quite evident when you do, because these guys will get a boner that is, I swear to God, it's two feet long.
Does it have a hand on it?
It's got a knee.
These things are huge.
Dolphin schlong is outrageously big, and they love it.
They're like, yeah, meh, meh.
So it's possible.
Yeah, well, whatever the case is, but it just seems a little far-fetched.
In the morning to all of our human resources who are charged up, ready to go.
I see them all standing by in the quorum at the stream and chat to noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
Good to have you all on board as we once again try to fight evil.
As I said, there's not a lot of it, but lots of stupidity.
And I'm a little disappointed because, you know, we never converse in between shows.
And you sent me an email and it completely bummed me out.
Oh, because you had a surprise clip?
Yeah, I was going to freak you out with this news item to show you why this...
But I had also been turned on to the item.
You can thank Eric DeShiel for ruining your gag.
Well, thanks, Eric.
No, someone sent me this earlier in the week, and like, this is such a perfect example of why this program is important.
This is Yahoo.
No kidding.
This is Yahoo News.
It's the worst, and why do they produce this?
And it just shows you the educational system in this country has gone to hell, because there is no, this is a mislogic, crazy, and it's presented in such a way that, you play it if you Let me set it up a little more.
This is the Yahoo News version.
Yahoo News, who of course successfully have merged their news outlets with ABC News, that other compromised service.
CNN and even CBS 60 Minutes, they've got experts like Sanjay Gupta.
And Dr.
Drew to come in and cover up the horrible Leroy 12, which is now about 20.
These girls who all of a sudden got Tourette's-like syndrome.
Yes.
And they decide to do it in a mocking, trivializing way that is just an insult to anyone with any common sense.
As if the flu weren't enough, this winter there was a mysterious outbreak at a high school in New York that some theorized could all be in the victims' heads.
Over a dozen girls and one adult at Leroy High School all reported the same very real symptoms of twitching, ticks, and uncontrollable outbursts.
But there is no known medical cause, and the bug may have been spread on Facebook by teens convincing themselves they were sick.
A similar twitching outbreak struck nine girls and a teacher at a Virginia high school in 2007, but investigation determined at least six of them were faking it.
Fake outbreaks bred by the power of suggestion are a rare phenomenon, sometimes called mass hysteria.
The Tanganyika laughter epidemic paralyzed people in part of what is now Tanzania.
Did you ever look that up, the Tanganyika laughter epidemic?
Jew?
No!
I was sure I would be able to say, John, when the Tankania laughing epidemic came about, what was the general consensus in the world?
It's kind of like pre-Google.
It's hard to look some of this stuff up.
I mean, we could actually use some of that.
Why don't we have a laughing epidemic?
That would be great.
We should have some of that.
There's more to this great story.
With months of uncontrollable laughter in 1962.
And another famous suspected example was the dancing plague that struck Strasbourg, France in the summer of 1518 and didn't end until several dancers had dropped dead.
Now, that just doesn't sound true to me.
There was an epidemic in France in, what would you say, 1600?
And people were dancing until they dropped dead.
This is clearly meant, because anyone with any sanity is going to say, well, that sounds like it's stupid.
And maybe it was real, I don't know.
I mean, it's hard to tell now, isn't it?
You're right, pre-Google.
But it's playing down what is a serious problem, which I believe is caused by HPV injections, the famed Gardazil drug.
And it just gets worse.
Mass hysteria belongs to a category of self-induced or imaginary ailments called factitious disorders.
Which is what you're going to be diagnosed with this one day, my friend.
I'm sorry.
Your daughter has a factitious disorder.
It's very sad.
And you know how that spreads, don't you?
Like that of Bethany Storo, who got on Good Morning America by splashing acid on her own face.
This is what got me about this thing.
One has got nothing to do with the other.
No.
But they even take it further.
They take it to the stupidest level ever, down to the simplest of all simple childhood nursery rhymes.
Or not nursery rhymes, but little stories you tell your kid at bedtime.
Or Ashley Ann Carrillo, who faked having cancer, even getting a won't quit tattoo.
Pretending to be sick to get money is known as malingering, while feigning illness to gain sympathy or attention is called Munchausen syndrome, named after Baron Munchausen, an 18th century German nobleman known for exaggerating his exploits.
It's also called crying wolf.
There you go.
It's like, okay, so he went from some mysterious disease that has caused these girls some serious harm down to crying wolf.
They're just crying wolf.
And we all know the story of crying wolf, don't we?
And one of the dangers of constantly claiming to be sick is that if you really do get the flu, nobody believes you.
The flu?
Why is it the flu, by the way?
It goes from that to, if you really do get the flu, what?
The flu?
I know, this whole thing is a humiliation to anyone who's ever done broadcast journalism.
Yes.
It's a complete fiasco.
It is probably the worst little production I've ever seen.
And they put some money into it.
It's got no logic.
It goes from one, jumps from one thing to another.
It makes false associations.
It is, it's so bad.
It is, it should be, they should shoot these people.
But of course the way it spreads is the best part.
Oh, why doesn't it go?
Hello?
Hello?
Yeah, I'm here.
Oh.
Did we hear that?
Maybe I missed it.
The whole point where it could be spread by Facebook?
That was early.
That was early.
I missed that.
It ended with, you know, the flu.
Somehow the flu, so they get a little promotion there for vaccines, which is the irony of the whole thing, if you think about it.
Yeah, so...
That you're right.
That is the irony.
It comes from vaccine, but...
Really, you don't need the flu because you can get a vaccine.
And by the way, it looks like the CDC was busy doing other things.
They didn't have time to release the flu virus into the atmosphere.
Good evening, I'm Wendy Davis.
And I'm Rob Vaughn.
Get your cold medicine and your vitamin C ready.
Or better yet, think about getting that flu shot.
Health officials say...
What could this news report be about?
Get that flu shot!
March!
The latest start to a flu season since 1987.
It's running late, but now it's here, and we're about to get into the thick of it.
So, really, since you said that, John, I'm just really combining that now.
All of a sudden, it just makes so much sense.
That piece was really just a flu vaccination piece.
Yeah.
And it's perfectly timed with all these other news stories.
This is some bogus story from where is it from?
Oh, I almost had clipped one up from here.
They had the same exact bogus story in the Bay Area.
Yeah.
About, oh, the flu season.
It's like, hey, wait a minute.
What's going on?
Hey, who lost the sheet to our rundown here from October, November?
We're out of order.
What are we doing?
Wasn't there like something?
What is this date on here?
It says, well, how come we didn't run this in October?
What happened?
Yeah.
Run it now!
It's like almost March and we haven't done the flu stuff.
My goodness.
What distracted us?
That stupid GOP X Factor reality show.
Too many debates.
Yeah, I've got to talk about that briefly.
So Rick Santorum, and this is...
So Gitmo Nation Lowlands is all in a titter right now.
Why?
Well, because one of the royal princes...
Oh, yeah, right.
Got hit by an avalanche.
Yeah, hit by an avalanche.
And I know one of the princes, and Mickey knows one of the other princes, through business contacts, actually.
And I haven't spoken to my prince.
And Mickey didn't email her prince.
And he said, yeah, I think this is pretty grim.
But this is dominating the news.
And it's gotten to the point, it's very interesting to watch the social medias Where the Lowlands people are like, who cares?
Yeah, yeah, this is bullcrap.
They're so negative right now.
The vibes are so low in the Lowlands.
People are so suppressed that, you know, the news media is obviously covering up all kinds of other stuff that's going on.
Somehow they feel it's wrong.
But at the same time, it's kind of inhumane to be like, I don't give a crap about that guy.
It's like, wow, you know, my brain is a little twisted over it.
But one of the things that is suppressed because of this is something Frothy Mick Santorum said while he was on his little speaking tour.
And his whole thing is Obamacare bad, Obamacare bad, Obamacare bad, whatever.
And he says something...
About the Dutch medical system, which is patently untrue.
Oh, this is the problem with all these guys.
They all say stuff that is just off-the-wall untrue.
So he's talking about, he's making a comparison to death squads.
And he brings up an example.
Death squads or death panels?
I'm sorry.
What's the difference?
Death panels, right.
So that a medical, like a little secret group of people.
Cabal.
Cabal can say.
I think he should be dying.
Yeah, I think he should die.
I think he should die.
So in the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal.
And I know from first-hand experience, this is not really that simple.
Even if you have all the documents signed, I mean, there is a percentage, I believe the official percentage is 2%, of voluntary euthanasia.
Which means you sign a document and say, hey, you know, if I'm no good anymore, then pull the plug.
That's essentially the deal.
But here's how Santorum presents that.
In the Netherlands, people were a different person, if you're over it.
And the bracelet is, do not euthanize me.
Are you hearing this?
He says people wear bracelets in the Netherlands that say, do not euthanize me.
Because they have voluntary euthanation in the Netherlands.
But half the people who are euthanized every year, and it's 10% of all deaths in the Netherlands.
You can hear the guy filming this.
Whoa!
10% of all deaths is people who are voluntarily euthanized.
Half of those people are euthanized involuntarily.
Oh!
Involuntarily.
They are older and sick.
That gets better.
And so elderly people in the Netherlands don't go to the hospital.
They go to another country.
That's such a lie.
Older people in the Netherlands don't go to the hospital.
They run away.
That is such bull crap.
I'm sorry.
It is just not true.
I've had a lot of older people around me in the past 10 years.
Some very close and who have passed on.
And this is just not true.
It's a bold-faced lie.
Now, I will say, there is, and we've discussed this on the show, that when you're of a certain age, the way the system works, they do say, well, you know, we're not going to pay for your liver because, you know, you're old.
You don't count.
You're 98 years old and you want a liver transplant.
Well, even younger than that, I have to say.
75.
75 is like, no, you're not going to get one.
If there's a limited number of livers and somebody younger needs it, it's probably best to go to them.
So that's the thinking.
But this is such a blatant lie from this douchebag.
It's unbelievable.
It's just a lie.
I mean, it's absolutely not true.
And what does he think?
I would demand that he produce one of these old bracelets that say, do not euthanize me.
Yeah, we should sell those bracelets.
Do not euthanize me, bro.
Do not euthanize or drone me, bro.
Really?
I mean, I've never seen one of these bracelets, and I've been around.
Stupid, bonehead, frothy Mick Santorum.
He's a liar.
He's a total liar.
He's an embarrassing liar.
But he's the frontrunner in the beauty contest.
I can't wait for the talent portion.
It'd be great if he had to play, like, you know, slide whistle or recorder or something like that.
Well, on the subject of douchebags, I got a Keith Olbermann clip which relates to the election.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Olbermann, who apparently decided that, you know, Ron Paul is not his cup of tea, decides to take a shot at him with this really nasty little commentary.
Good one.
First, the sanity break.
And on this date in 2000, one of the strangest coincidences of history concluded when the cartoonist Charles Schultz died literally one day after the publication of the last of the Peanuts comic strips he had drawn six weeks earlier.
Two days before that, the House of Representatives had voted to award Mr.
Schultz the Congressional Medal of Honor.
There was one vote against that by Congressman Ron Paul.
He had also voted against giving the same award to Rosa Parks.
Time marches on.
Not only is he anti-black, not only is he anti-human rights...
He's a cartoonist hater.
Cartoon hater!
Now, Obermann, who seems to be sensible in some regard, but in this case, he apparently thinks that a cartoonist should get the Congressional Medal of Honor for a comic strip...
This is what this award...
This is like marginalizing the award for people who actually did something heroic.
Rosa Parks herself would say this would be bogus.
She probably wouldn't even take it.
If you've ever listened to her interview, she just wanted to keep her spot in the bus and somebody else made a big deal out of it.
Why is this a Congressional Medal of Honor issue?
And why is it a big deal that that Ron Paul is the only man with any apparent honesty amongst with himself about the value of these things that he'd vote no and then he'd be condemned by this idiot?
Yeah, well, I guess since Olbermann is clearly back on the air, he's now he's on the take.
There's no other way to explain it.
Why else would you do that?
Time marches on, he says.
Time marches on.
No one cares.
No one cares about that douchebag.
They had to go to an Abyss set.
He doesn't have a background anymore.
They just put up the black curtain like we use on the X3 show.
Are they in the basement, too?
Yeah, probably.
It's like a cheap production.
Well, I'll tell you, John.
I viewed the stuff that happened over the weekend from multiple viewpoints.
And I'll discuss the one as a television producer first.
And I'm referring to the Whitney Houston funeral.
And I don't know if you saw any of this.
I saw zero of it.
It was hard to miss, actually.
I did it!
Yeah, you did.
You succeeded.
Your mission is complete.
So here's what was interesting about this.
It was four hours long, and I was monitoring everything.
I was monitoring the social networks.
It was on CNN. It was Fox.
Everyone was broadcasting this thing live worldwide.
CNN more, of course, worldwide than Fox.
Although Fox has a pretty big worldwide presence now as well.
And a lot of people are watching this.
I haven't seen any ratings yet.
In fact, while we're doing that, I'll see if we have anything come in yet.
Because I think it was a fairly large audience.
But here's what was interesting.
So we had the Grammy Awards.
The Grammy Awards, 18 cameras, you know, flashing, strobe light-y, you know, the biggest names in the music business.
Man, it was the most boring, idiotic show I've ever seen.
I couldn't watch it.
I thought it was, for one thing, and I'm not like a 20-year-old, but these people that were performing were...
Old!
I mean, it was like, why don't you put on some modern groups?
I mean, why am I watching these people that are, you know, in their 60s and 70s playing?
I mean, it's not that...
And they weren't playing anything good.
They were playing this kind of dirge music.
I thought the whole thing was depressing.
Right.
Thank you.
Exactly.
It was depressing and it was boring.
This Whitney Houston funeral...
It was also about four hours, about the same length as the Grammy Awards.
It had no commercials and one camera.
One camera.
And a lot of interesting people and talented people singing.
And from a television production standpoint, the numbers haven't come in yet.
I haven't even seen the overnights.
I think that this got bigger ratings than the Grammys.
And was actually quite entertaining to watch.
And it was...
So from a television production...
And I watched Mickey, you know?
I saw her sit...
You know, because I'd recorded the Grammys for her.
She was in Los Angeles doing something else.
And she couldn't even sit through it.
And, of course, she has to fast-forward to the commercials.
Like, oh, what is all this crap?
And it's going to sound a little weird.
But if you take into account...
What I believe is going on in the music business, which is an evil business.
It truly is.
First we had Madonna's Super Bowl halftime event.
Now you saw that, John, didn't you?
I know you saw it.
I saw it until...
I only watched about half of it because I thought it was...
For one thing, it was overproduced.
And it wasn't that...
Great.
I mean, it was, I suppose, for what they were looking for, they got what they wanted, and then, of course, somebody flips off somebody at the end, and I missed that, so I felt pretty gypped.
Well, you've kind of missed...
If you're going to flip somebody off, please do it at the beginning of one of these things.
Well, I think you kind of missed the symbolism that was in this performance was all over the place.
The Madonna thing?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There was all kinds of pyramids and devil horns and, you know, like squatting on rocks.
I mean, this was all...
Squatting on rocks.
Oh, yeah.
The old squatting on rocks symbol.
That's right.
In fact, here's Madonna on Anderson Pooper before the show.
And she uses some very interesting words to describe her performance.
Are you nervous about doing the Super Bowl?
Oh, my God.
I'm so nervous.
You have no idea.
I am.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, first of all, it's the Super Bowl.
I mean, the Super Bowl is kind of like the Holy of Holies.
The Holy of Holies.
Pay attention to what she's saying here.
The Holy of Holies.
America, right?
So, like, here I am.
I'm going to come into the, like, halfway between, like, the church, the church experience.
So she's now, and it's true, I think.
She's equating the Super Bowl to the Holy of Holies.
It's the church, okay?
What is your job in the church, Madonna?
I'm going to have to deliver a sermon.
Ah, right.
A sermon.
And I think she did deliver a sermon.
I think she delivered a satanic sermon.
Sure.
I'll buy it.
Yeah, I think you nailed this.
This is good.
Now, stick with it.
Stick with it.
Then we have the Grammys.
Now, remember that Whitney Houston died as the first guests were arriving to the Clive Davis party in the same hotel.
In the very same hotel.
And, you know, 800 people in the music business, and she's up there dead for hours while they're downstairs partying.
I mean, that's crazy.
And Whitney Houston was Clive Davis' baby.
He made her, and vice versa, by the way, to a certain degree.
Clive, of course, was already kind of out there.
So Chaka Khan comes on the Pierce Morgan show.
And I think that a lot of artists are very afraid to just basically come out and say it.
But at first he says, you know, he asks her about people coming and partying while Whitney's up there dead.
And she was in the bathtub probably still.
You know, don't just take it out.
You know, it's just crazy.
You were, I think, going to go to the Clive Davis party.
Yes.
It was a surreal event where Whitney's body was still in the hotel and there was this sort of party where apparently half the room were in tears, the other half were kind of partying.
What did you feel about that?
I thought that was complete insanity.
Yes, it was insanity.
Of course it was insanity.
You're absolutely right.
And Chaka Khan, listen carefully to the words.
We just heard Madonna about the Holy of Holy with the Super Bowl and the church and the sermon.
Yeah, the church of the demonic spirit.
Now listen to Chaka Khan, who's been in the business a long time.
You don't hear about her much anymore because, of course, she's fulfilled her contract and she's out and she's still alive.
Here's how she describes the business.
She thinks she had that tendency anyway.
I think that we all as artists, because we're highly sensitive people, and this machine around us, this so-called music industry, is such a demonic thing.
It sacrifices people's lives and their essences.
It sacrifices their lives and their essences, which of course is the same for soul.
And then we go on to do this show the next day where we have Nicki Minaj literally performing a demonic ritual on stage.
John, here's what I'm going to say is happening.
We're the Pope character.
Thank you.
Here's what I'm going to say is happening.
There was absolutely a sacrifice, whether it was purely music business related, whatever it was, there's a lot of weird, crazy crap going on in the music business.
Listen to the lyrics.
Look at the top ten.
Where did all the love songs go?
No, it's all about the Rain Man, and it's all about...
It's demonic.
It's completely demonic.
Yeah, where did all the love songs go?
Well, they came back yesterday.
And even when Paul McCartney sang on the Grammys, sitting down the whole time, it was like very atypical of his material.
Exactly.
Because it's a demonic system of programming.
Music is extremely important.
When we were kids, you know, starting in the 50s, I'll just take it back a little bit.
I know all the 50s songs for some reason.
It was all about love me do, I love you, wake up a little Susie, love, love, love, all you need is love.
And that changed somewhere around the 70s, the disco era kind of, when they're like, hey, we can program people.
Music is no more or less than vibrations.
It's just vibes coming out of speaker conuses.
And it's really important what it does to the psyche.
And I think that The music business and the industry is being used to bring down people, to enslave them, get them into these demonic feelings.
And what happened with the Whitney Houston funeral is the other side went, okay, we're not having any of that.
We're going to project love and, well, the God stuff.
I was even into that yesterday.
You got, like, the preacher guy, you know, the Winans brother.
Saying, if you have a light heart, can you say amen?
I'm like, amen!
I was like, all over.
Stevie Wonder comes out.
It was absolutely, there was a war going on between evil, or light and dark, let me put it that way.
That could be.
Whatever the case is, the Grammys got huge ratings, and I don't think this thing will even come close.
Oh, well, we'll wait until the ratings come out.
You'll see.
But by the same token, I'd say be very, very careful, because when this stuff takes place, and it's happened in the past, Something big will happen.
We're being set up.
Maybe the Antichrist was birthed during the Grammys.
I don't know.
It would be Obama.
Well, you should Google that.
In the UK, by the way.
Everyone said it was George Bush.
Why can't it be Obama?
Say, yeah, what's the difference?
Just birthed a new one.
In the UK, on Channel 5, this is the fail of the century.
So they have a promo for Channel 5 for a Whitney special.
It's followed by a commercial for a company called Wonga.
And it's better to watch it.
It'll be in the show notes, 384.nashownotes.com.
But you'll be able to hear.
So they close off the promo and then listen to the first line of this commercial, which I guess is meant to be funny.
But in the end, what would forever silence one of the world's greatest voices?
I know we're fashioning drugs.
We're fashioning drugs.
Whitney's Addiction, Death of a Diva, 10 o'clock Tuesday on Channel 5.
She looks better in a body bag.
Wunder.com.
Straight talking money without the drama.
Could you hear it?
She looks better in a body bag.
She looks better in a body bag.
It's unbelievable.
Who does it?
That wasn't something else?
Is it just a bad cut or a bad segue?
No, it was just a commercial that has to do with something else, but they played it right after the promo.
Yeah, they played it right after the promo.
It's terrible.
It is absolutely horrible.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I feel like we got some rebalance in the universe, and that's good.
And we'll see how the...
Yeah, well, I'm hopeful.
I say no.
I'm hopeful.
Did we get any balance in our show?
We got a very interesting series of donations because a whole bunch of people came in at almost the exact same amount of money, although we do have one winner of the executive producer sweepstakes.
For us, Al Thabani in Riyadh, which I like to pronounce Rydia, in Saudi Arabia actually came in for $266.67, which is the exactly 1,000 Saudi rials.
Oh!
I've been meaning to donate for a while, he says.
Why?
Because you're worth it.
You do excellent work and uncover issues that are often ignored by the media.
I'd also like a karma shout.
Let's give him one.
Yeah, absolutely.
We highly appreciate the thousand rials.
You've got karma.
That should be a new amount.
A thousand rial karma shout.
Why not?
They're taking over anyway.
So for us, he'll be the executive producer for today's show.
We want to thank him for coming in from far away.
Send us some photos.
Joseph Lake in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
$250.
Associate executive producer.
John and Adam needs a deduce.
He would most of all need some house karma.
So he needs a combo here.
Currently living in the in-laws RV. Oh, that's got to be a thrill.
Due to the house we were buying falling through after selling the old one.
That's nice.
You sell your old house.
You can't get in the new one.
And you're living with your in-laws in an RV. Making an offer for a third house today and need the karma to make sure it works out.
I know Adam can relate to the RV thing.
Imagine it with wife, son, and golden retriever.
And when the golden retriever gets wet and then comes in the RV, the smell doesn't go away for, like, weeks.
I wouldn't think.
Give him a dedouching karma.
Yeah, you got it.
You've been dedouched.
You've got karma.
Marco van Wien in Grevenzand, someplace.
I'm not sure where this is.
Gravenzanden.
Is that in Holland?
Yes, Gravenzanden.
Gravenzanden.
23456.
I want to thank him.
James Shearer in Roseville, California.
23333.
James Howard.
Sir James Howard to you.
Indianapolis, Indiana.
21812 in the morning, citizens.
My birthday is on the 18th.
I made a donation on over myself after hearing Adam's deconstruction of the Liath and oil field conspiracy.
I'm even more tempted than usual to flee civilization and become a yak herder in outer Mongolia.
Hey, hey, get in line.
But before he goes, he's going to bequeath all his worldly possessions to the greatest podcast in the multiverse.
That would be us.
That's very cool.
Thank you.
So yak for me is fun, Sir James.
You might think about it seriously.
Brian Mancuso, Enfield, Connecticut, 218.12.
Hey, Citizen, I'm supporting the new show with 218.12.
Why?
Because?
It's also a palindrome.
It's my birthday, and I fear that's it.
Oh, we don't have him on the birthday list.
Put him on the birthday list.
Really?
That's wrong.
Yeah.
I'll put him on right now.
And I fear that since my last show mentioned where the donation was on episode 200.5, I may have relapsed into douchebaggery.
Oh, no!
A $5 a month subscription only goes so far.
If you would be so kind, can you use some karma for his job search?
Apparently, whatever is building on the moon bases isn't buying enough oxygen generation systems and water processing or spacesuits from my company, who supplies the International Space Station.
Oh!
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
As such, I figured it would be a good idea to look elsewhere.
Thanks for the best.
Here's karma for you.
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
We've got Phil Rodas in Adelaide, South Australia, 212.
A quick reply to the well-justified boner call-off from my friend Ed Zolo last week.
It's required, and now I declare the race for Knighthood 212 between Ed and myself officially on!
Oh!
We've got a race to the bottom.
He needs a Karma call-out for his daughter, Maya, and a MILF call-out for his wife, Natalie, so I think you give Karma and then MILF. Can I do a combo?
Combo is good, right?
Yeah, start with Karma and then...
That's one, mother.
I like that.
No, here's karma for his daughter.
You've got karma.
There you go.
I would have done it in the reverse order, but okay.
Well, but you're not pushing the buttons.
Sure, if I don't have the buttons.
James Church, Dundee, Illinois, $200.
He'll be our final executive producer for today's show, 384.
Been a listener since show 291.
I could use some general karma for reasons to be determined later.
What, you want to put that in a jar or something?
Well, just give it to him and he'll put jarred himself.
Okay.
Thanks for all the hard work.
You've got karma.
I want to thank all these people for helping us on this show.
And remind everybody, go to NoAgendaShow.com, NoAgendaNation.com, Dvorak.org slash NA, and ChannelDvorak.com slash NA to continue supporting the No Agenda show, this one being 384.
That's right.
Dvorak.org.
We got an interesting initiative from one of our producers.
I didn't quite understand it at first.
But he is forwarding a domain name to us, but he wants us to do something with it.
He's got generic.drug.name.
I guess name is a top-level domain.
Oh, yes.
Just new.
That's a new one.
I didn't realize that.
They were hoping that they'd get everybody like it'd be dvorak.name.
And then I would set up shop using, you know, selling email addresses or something.
So I guess we could set up, you know, we could, he says, it'd be cool if someone set up a wiki.
A wiki.
Just put a wiki up.
So I can point the dotted decimals to that server.
So you could have like xanax.drug.name.
Or, I don't know.
I don't know if it'll work.
The wiki itself could just have every generic.
If you get a drug, you look it up and see what the generic is.
I mean, there's got to be something done.
I mean, we have to at least support the generic world, because obviously they're destroying it.
Well, you know who's...
Remember, of course, we uncovered that Dianne Feinstein, right after Whitney Houston's death, immediately put the bill in, which is intended to kill generics under the meme of Internet drug and Internet pharmacies bad, sell illegal stuff?
Yeah.
So she's got a shill.
She's got a shill working for her.
Of all the people in Congress...
Who?
Bono, of course.
Oh, Bono.
Bono's bad.
Bono Mack.
Listen to this.
Have you ever seen this woman, Jane Velez Mitchell?
Oh, yeah.
She's the clone of, what's her name?
Nancy Grace.
Yeah, on HLN. Horrible woman.
And she scares me.
I sit there and watch.
I flinch every single time.
Congresswoman, Mary Bono Mack.
Congresswoman, I'm thrilled that you want to hold hearings on prescription drug abuse.
There it is.
I'm thrilled you want to hear...
Did you hear it?
Were you able to hear it?
I'm thrilled that you want to hold hearings on prescription drug abuse.
Let's listen to what her reasoning is.
Listen.
Let's be real as a nation.
I've been talking to people all day.
Yeah, druggies abuse Xanax.
They mix it with alcohol.
It gets them a terrific high.
It's a deadly combination.
Why would any doctor...
Prescribed Xanax for Whitney Houston.
Xanax!
One Google search, Congresswoman, would show that she'd struggled for years.
We all know it.
This is very good, what she's doing, by the way.
One Google search.
You can Google it.
I love that.
You can Google it.
Do your own research.
You can Google it for yourself.
That's the truth.
Substance abuse.
Well, Jane, it's a great question.
You do have...
It's not a great question!
It's not a great question!
...to ask who is this doctor, what was he thinking, and why...
Wait, hold on a second.
Stop.
What was the question?
That's the whole point.
There was no question.
There wasn't even a question, and she says it's a great question.
What is wrong with this woman?
Well, because this is a pre-programmed, scripted segment.
That's why.
And Velez went off script and forgot to ask the question.
Let's listen to it again.
Whatever it was.
What's the question?
Whatever it is, it was a great question.
For years, we all know it, with substance abuse.
Well, Jane, it's a great question.
You're right.
He doesn't even ask a question.
No question.
That's a great question, you douche.
You forgot to ask the question.
But don't worry, I'll save it.
Do you have to ask, who is this doctor?
What was he thinking?
That was the question.
You have to ask, who is this doctor?
What was he thinking?
That was the question she was supposed to ask.
Why did he do that?
Unfortunately, this is too common a story now in America.
You know, I just...
What can we bring this down to?
What common denominator can we...
How can we get the entire America...
I mean, sure, celebrities is one thing, but how can we bring it down to get everyone really excited about this horrible generic...
I mean, counterfeit bad drug situation with doctors prescribing it so we can bring in some legislation to get rid of cheap generics from other countries?
What can we do?
What common denominator do we have to bring it down to, John?
I want to say something that I've heard over the past few days about Whitney's death is when somebody said, you know, she had cleaned up her act and she was off of street drugs, but now she was on prescription drugs.
And I think that's the perfect example of what we're faced with right now, this battle that we're faced with, this epidemic of prescription drug abuse that really is killing not only adults, not only entertainers, but it's also killing our kids.
Damn!
There you go.
It's killing the kids.
Killing the kids.
It's killing the kids.
That and child porn.
It's killing the kids.
I almost forgot.
Oops, here we go.
We do need producers who cannot support us financially to propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New World Order Hit me now, baby!
Shut up, slave!
I think, uh...
Let me see.
I have to, uh...
I don't know.
I have to change servers or something.
What happened?
Eh, who knows?
They're blocking us again.
Is it the chat room?
No, we're having...
This is the pharmaceutical companies.
The pharmaceutical companies.
I'm going to switch streaming servers, everybody.
Get ready to refresh your browsers.
I don't know what's going on with that.
Let me just...
Hold on one second, John.
Oh, he's changed again.
It's worth it.
Otherwise, everyone gets really freaked out that they can't listen to the show live, you know, and they sit there doing it live.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
Well, I'm never doing that again.
Ever.
Ever.
Do you even remember where we were?
We were at the point where we were talking about some things.
Oh yeah, that's right.
I remember.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, citizen.
We're back.
Well, we can go to a clip.
Let's do that.
Let's pick it back up again.
Johnny, come on.
We're pros.
We can do this.
Well, I got a bit that we can do because we just had Bono on as an idiot congressperson, but I've got the better one, which is Anna Eshoo.
Anna Eshoo?
You have to do this with me because we tried to do this last night.
This is, by the way, only half of the clip.
Who is Anna Eshoo?
She is a congresswoman who somehow got on the committee that had something to do with spectrum allocation, broadband.
She doesn't know anything technically about any of this, so she just stammers her way through an explanation of what might be going on with spectrum.
And in the process, she says, uh.
A lot?
Uh.
A lot.
So much that we can't...
We have...
And this is, like I said, only half the clip.
Let me ask you, is this...
I got the bell ready.
You have to listen to the ones I miss.
I'm going to ring the bell every time she says, ah, and you're going to see what I'm talking about.
This is a classic congresswoman.
She's actually been in office forever.
She's paid to do this, and she can't even present herself well on television.
Is this part of the light square GPS congressional hearing that was going on?
Is that what this is about?
I believe so.
We haven't come to a total agreement.
You know that we did agree on many different parts of the bill, which is wonderful, and that's the way it should be, because these are not partisan issues.
The difference of viewpoints, of approaches...
That we have a national interoperable public safety network for our country, finally.
That the 9-11 Commission called for this.
We finally have gotten to it.
And there is agreement about the D-Block where we have some difference of opinion.
It's about a governing body relative to that effort.
So...
I hope that we can come to an agreement.
Okay, I get the point.
You know, you can't do this.
You know why?
There are people out there, every single time you ring your bell, they take a drink, and they can't keep up.
We can't do this right now.
We're going to lose our listeners.
That's worse than the stream crapping out, is when you ring the bell, everyone's like, oh, drink.
Oh, man.
You've got to stop electing this woman.
Get rid of her.
Where's she from?
California.
Oh, well, there you go.
Hey, by the way, on the California thing, you know, I've been following all this bank bailout, essentially, this so-called $25 billion that they're going to get, which really, they don't have to pay anything.
They pay like $2 billion, and most of that goes to California.
And that, of course, a lot of that is discretionary for the Attorney General to spend however she wants, because her name is Kamala Harris, Guess what the rumor is now around Washingtonian town?
No.
She may become nominee for the Supreme Court.
Oh, please.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, she's not getting in, I can guarantee.
No Republicans are going to allow this nut job to become a Supreme Court.
No, she hasn't got the right background.
Maybe that's what the ritual was about.
Maybe she was birthed.
As the demon child.
She's evil.
She is totally evil, dude.
Come on, you gotta admit.
Yeah.
It's just, it's horrible.
No, there's a lot wrong.
Hey, there's a lot wrong.
Did you know that?
I've heard that.
There's a lot wrong.
Even more wrong is the Iran situation.
You gotta ring the bell.
Aaron Burnett.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Or as we say in Texas, Burnett.
We don't say Burnett.
We say Burnett.
Burnett.
Yeah.
Burnett.
Aaron Burnett.
We'll just call her that from now on.
Aaron Burnett.
Used to say that in Santa Barbara.
Aaron Burnett.
So first she rolls on a little clip from Clapper.
This is the guy who knows nothing.
Yeah, he's a hilarious clapper.
Yeah, so first he sets it all up about the Iranian...
This is the guy, we should remind the listeners, he's the guy that they asked him a question about something that was just taking place in...
In the UK, like a big terror thing.
There's a big riot going on.
I don't know.
No, it was like a terror thing.
I don't know what's going on.
He's totally oblivious.
I can probably find that clip too.
So, of course, even though the International Atomic Energy Association has said, well, there's no evidence that shows that Iran is making a nuclear-powered or a weaponized nuclear uranium, That came out wrong.
Boy, did it.
Yeah.
But you know what I'm talking about.
Now everyone's just saying, well, we all know this is true.
It's true.
It's true.
It's a fact.
It's a whole fact.
It's a fact.
The Supremes are now in charge.
Apparently Diana Ross is going to make the decision.
So this is the setup, and all these people are paid off to do this.
And it blows my mind that the public stands for this, where Aaron Burnett now brings in Peter King, who's a...
Go on TV at the drop of a hat.
Is he a senator or a congressman?
I believe he's a congressman.
And, you know, great timing.
Because, of course, we had this great lone wolf event, which we'll have to talk about in a second.
So while all of this is going on about Iran, he cleverly brings this around to strikes on the homeland.
It's unbelievable.
This is no longer about Iran building a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the map, as the supreme leader has said.
But he brings it all the way around.
And Aaron Burnett, man...
Screw you.
The question is, will Iran strike inside the United States?
But that's not the question.
I've never heard this question.
When has that been the question?
It's the question.
The question is...
Out front tonight, Peter King, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Good to talk to you, sir.
Appreciate this.
And I know that you have been briefed, and obviously...
I love that.
I know you've been briefed, so you know what I'm going to do, right?
You know the answers to all the questions.
You've been briefed, right?
Are you ready for it, Mr.
Chairman, sir?
Mr.
Clapper has briefed you on many of the details, and you've been told there's no specific plot at this time.
Are you satisfied with the intelligence that you've been getting?
So she says, there's nothing planned at this time, but are you satisfied with what you're getting, the briefing, so can you please lie a little bit?
Aaron, I am, because even though there's no specific plot, the intelligence community does believe...
There's no specific plot, but listen to these words!
...that an attack could very well happen.
Right now, a threat from Iran...
What?
Yeah, he literally says, even though there's no specific intelligence, a plot could very well happen, be very afraid!
It's gonna happen, it's coming your way!
The community does believe that an attack could very well happen.
Right now, a threat from Iran, a possible attack from Iran is the greatest threat we face.
The greatest threat?
No, no, no, no, that's not the greatest threat.
The greatest threat we face is an attack from Iran?
That's the greatest threat ever!
Ever!
How does that work?
Well, he's going to...
What kind of a What a douchebag is this guy?
He's going to explain it to you.
And every threat stream is being tracked down.
So while there's no specific threat, we're assuming, we have to assume that one could occur.
That's why the NYPD, and by the way, I agree totally with Mitch Soba, that we have to assume that Hezbollah would be the proxy.
It gets better.
So Hezbollah will be the proxy for Iran to attack us in the United States.
Oh yes, it's possible.
For Iran, I can well carry out the attack.
So no, I am convinced CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, plus local police like the NYPD. Listen to that police state, huh?
DHS, NSI, CIA, FBI, plus the local police force, your dentist, your clergy.
Are working 24-7 on this.
And has this changed?
They got nothing 24-7.
Hey man, can you get me some more coffee?
I'm working on the Hezbollah attack.
I need some more coffee.
And has this changed?
I mean, now you're saying that Iran is the greatest threat for a terror attack in the United States, whether they do it through Hezbollah, a proxy, or otherwise.
A proxy.
That's another public company type document, right?
A proxy.
You can vote through proxy.
These companies are huge and influential.
Very good.
Has that changed?
Has the recent rhetoric and conversation raised that threat level or not?
It's so scripted she can't even get through it.
It really has.
There's been several things.
One is obviously the tremendous tension in the Middle East with Israel and Iran and the fact that Iran is getting so close to having a weapon.
So close, John!
It could be in 24 hours.
So close!
It's the fact!
No, it's not the fact.
It's not the fact.
The opposite is true, you liar.
...weapon.
Secondly is the fact that...
So another fact.
Stand by.
Fact.
Another fact.
In December, we stopped the plot of the attack upon the assassination attempt on the Saudi ambassador with the attempt to blow up Cafe Milano, which would have killed hundreds of Americans.
That was really crossing a red line.
Ah, there's the red line.
That's the Panetta red line.
Pay attention to these words, the red line.
Panetta has said when they cross the red line, we're going to go after them.
And all the chatter that's out there, just the...
Shatter!
The general consensus among everyone in the intelligence community.
Everyone!
Everyone!
The science is in!
Everyone!
The science is in!
Science!
Right now, Iran and Hezbollah would be the number one threat to the United States.
Also, unlike Al-Qaeda, which is still a very serious threat.
No, let's not forget those guys, because that's Team B. You know, if we need to, like, scare you into submissions some more, we've got to bring those guys back in.
But unlike Al-Qaeda, yes.
The offshoots of Al-Qaeda are Hezbollah is a state-trained terrorist organization.
That is really the major leagues of terrorists.
It's the major leagues, John.
It ain't some farm team just down the road.
Oh, no.
This is the major leagues.
This is the guys who get paid to do it.
They're sponsored.
You think that maybe the Hezbollah will have, like, sponsored shirts?
You know, the funny thing is that in asymmetrical warfare, they're anything but the major leagues.
Because the asymmetrical warfare, which is non-centric, where they can come at you from any which way, and there's no state that you can go back and bomb, even though we tried to do that in Afghanistan, and we tried to do that in Pakistan.
Yeah, how'd that work out?
That's the major leagues.
This is bullcrap.
Well, of course, it was all set up to coincide with this patsy.
And just listening, I mean, I pulled one report.
Because, of course, there were a million about this guy who was going to go blow up the Capitol building with an explosive vest.
I have the, to bring people up to it, I do have the news report locally where the guy actually read it slightly wrong.
Oh, let me hear yours first.
Where is it?
And he ends up saying, set up in a way that made it sound like the whole thing was a scam.
Another feeble-minded a-hole busted by the FBI clip.
3-9.
The FBI arrested a man today for plotting to detonate a suicide vest at the U.S. Capitol.
The 29-year-old Moroccan man was taken into custody at a parking garage in Washington, D.C. Agents said they had Amin Al Khalifi under surveillance for about a year.
Undercover agents set him up with what Al Khalifi thought was a suicide vest.
Yes, he was set up.
Duh!
It took a year, by the way, to set this thing.
It took a year of brainwashing this guy.
This is what's so pathetic about this.
Can we have our agencies, instead of spending time and money setting up the feeble-minded to do crazy things because you find that they're stupid and you can talk them into anything if you spend a year with them, and actually go stop a real plot?
Well, wait a minute.
There probably aren't any.
So the report that I have gives us another extra little detail which just blew me away that they continued with the setup.
Officials say the suspect decided to target the Capitol after first considering a military installation, a synagogue, or a restaurant.
So here's how it went.
Hey, I'm Khalifa.
I want to blow up a restaurant.
No, no, no, man.
That's not good.
That's not good.
Try something else.
How about a synagogue?
No, man.
No, no.
We've done that one.
That's not good.
How about a military installation?
No, no, no, man.
We already had that other guy.
No, no, no.
That's not good.
How about, you know, maybe you could think of, I don't know, a Capitol building or something?
It's just a thought.
They had followed him for months, they said.
But in December, he started, quote, moving down the path toward conducting an attack.
And eventually, on his own initiative, went out and bought potential bomb components like nails and glue.
Now, let me tell you...
I go to Home Depot often.
Because I do buy nails and glue.
You do?
Yeah, should I? I've heard this about you.
I think they're keeping an eye on it.
I mean, should I be worried that maybe I should buy something else?
I want some nails.
Nails and glue.
Potential bomb.
You didn't buy any screws, did you?
Or ball bearings?
No, that would be really bad.
No, nails and glue is apparently now, there's a potential bomb material there.
We should need a license to buy a nail and glue license.
Where were they following this guy in the first place?
Well, I'll get to that.
They went someplace and they found the stupidest guy they could find that was real susceptible to your suggestion.
And they went in and they said, hey, you know, I got something, you know, would you like to meet our buddies?
We're going to have a poker party on Thursday night.
Come on by.
Oh, I do not play poker.
Alagbar.
Okay, well, good.
You want to go have a beer?
No, no, no, I do not drink.
Alagbar.
Okay, well, we're going to go pray on Thursday.
You want to come with us?
Alagbar.
Sure.
Allah Akbar.
Alright, now it gets better.
Suspect Amin El Khalifi is described as a 29-year-old Moroccan who was living in the U.S. illegally in Northern Virginia.
Now, I don't know much about living in America illegally, but as an illegal, why would you live in Northern Virginia?
Is this some great opportunity to live amongst spies and spooks in northern Alexandria?
That's a spy country.
Yeah, it's allspice.
Someone say, hey, Amin Khalir, you have to go to Virginia, man.
It's cool there.
It's great.
I keep an eye on it.
Virginia, that's the place to be.
I'd like to know this.
If the FBI, you're telling me if the FBI found an illegal alien that was floating around with these sorts of, who was an idiot, obviously.
And instead of just grabbing him and deporting him, they let him, allowed him in the country for an additional year while they followed him around.
Well, wait a minute, but you didn't get the whole report.
Because guess what they let him do?
I mean, this is where it gets crazy.
A law enforcement official said he espoused extremist views, but said they believed the suspect was acting alone.
Just two weeks ago, FBI Director Robert Mueller said there is a growing concern about that kind of individual, a lone wolf who is not part of a known group.
Over the last two years, what we have seen is an increase in the lone wolf activity, principally because you have the Internet that can be utilized for radicalizing, can be utilized for instruction, training, organization.
Over the last two years, for example, one suspect was accused of trying to fly explosives into Washington targets using model airplanes.
Yeah, remember that bogus one?
And another was accused of trying to bomb the DC Metro.
I spoke to Philip Mudd, a former FBI counter-terrorism official, about whether the public is in danger when officials mount a sting operation like this one.
Oh, now we have to be concerned about the officials.
And how they decide to set up a takedown.
Takedown!
They ask, is he going to do something tonight, tomorrow?
Does he have access to weapons?
If you can ensure that he doesn't, one of the questions you want to ask is, can we prove intent in a court of law?
At that point, as you roll the operation, you own it.
You own it!
He's going to come to you and say, where do I get a vest?
Where do I get weapons?
Where do I get explosives?
At that point, you own it.
You own it.
You own it.
But this is patently not true, because here's the bit of information.
They should have taken him down months ago, but they didn't because it's a total bullcrap operation.
Listen to this.
According to one affidavit filed in this case that on January 15th, Al-Khalifi stated that he had modified his plans for his attack rather than conducting an attack on the restaurant.
He wanted to conduct a suicide attack in the U.S. Capitol building that same day at a quarry in West Virginia.
As a demonstration of the effects of the proposed suicide bomb operation, Al Khalifi dialed a cell phone number that he believed would detonate a bomb placed in the quarry.
The test bomb did detonate, and Al Khalifi expressed a desire for a larger explosion in his attack.
He also selected February 17, 2012, today, as the day of the operation, according to the affidavit.
He was going to hit the Capitol building today, Candy.
They set him up with a bomb in a quarry in West Virginia.
They say, hey man, dial this number, watch it explode.
He does that.
Isn't that the point you need to arrest the guy?
Well, I think they wanted to take it a little step further.
Well, of course!
The question on my mind becomes, how is this in any way a lone wolf operation when he obviously has a team of people with him?
No, no, but...
Even though there are guys.
But it's not lone wolf.
If he did the whole thing from...
If it was truly a lone wolf, they would have never...
I mean, the guy would have dreamed...
Of course, he would have done his original plan and blown up some, you know, coffee shop.
But...
This is not a lone wolf operation for starters.
There's no way.
There was a whole infrastructure involved that was more than this guy could do.
For more than a year.
And it was a year.
This is really a bad sign.
I just want to warn everybody.
Be careful who your friends are.
I don't have anymore.
You're not my friend.
Go away.
I don't need any friends.
I want to go buy my nails and glue in peace.
Glue?
What's glue going to do?
It's bomb-making material, man.
And he didn't make the bomb, obviously.
No, they gave him a vest.
Yeah, so what did he need the nails and glue for?
He's probably fixing something.
Fixing up the house.
Ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, but it's disturbing because the way this is presented, like you said the other day, it's meant to freak people out, and I'm sure it's working.
I'm sure it's working.
And then Peter King with that horrible report...
I mean, CNN should be ashamed of itself for promoting this sort of thing.
They got no evidence.
The intelligence agency said so.
But yet, they apparently lied about it because, according to Peter King, everybody in intelligence, all the communities, DIA, CIA, you name it, they all know this is coming.
24-7.
We're on the case.
They're working on it 24-7.
24-7.
We got your back, buddy.
Why do people keep re-electing this clown?
He's a negative person.
He's bad for the country.
And Aaron Burnett's gonna burn it in hell.
Well, she's just reading from a script.
Yeah, but she's CFR shill.
Come on, she's in the CFR. Well, whatever she's doing, she should be ashamed of herself.
And why doesn't she ask an intelligent question?
She used to do that when she was doing her stuff on CNBC. I guess they won't let her.
Why is she asking intelligence questions?
Like, why would they say that there's nothing going on and there's no evidence of anything happening, and you're now telling me they're working on it 24-7?
There's a disconnect here.
Explain it.
Why doesn't she ask that simple question?
No.
No.
Oh, God, we're going to all die.
No.
Good one.
That's my opening clip right there.
Let me just mark that.
We're all going to die.
It was really dying as everybody over there in Euroland.
Not going well there.
Gas prices in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, highest ever.
Guess what they're paying per gallon?
I did the calculations.
Per gallon?
Yeah.
I would say like $7.
No, it's more.
So the all-time retail price for a liter of petrol is 1.795 euros, which is $2.36 per liter.
One gallon is 3.78 liters, so the price per gallon is $8.90.
Yeah!
Yeah!
We'd be driving a lot of small cars in this country if our gas prices were nine bucks a gallon.
And a lot of it's just, you know, taxes.
But it's all this bull crap.
And by the way, is oil really going up that fast?
Is oil shooting up the charts?
No, oil has been stable for the last year.
It's almost like dead money.
So it's warmongering and profiteering at work in front of your very eyes.
Yeah.
Can't be anything else.
Nicolas Sarkozy...
He wants to get re-elected, the French Napoleon.
Napoleon was French, but he's the new Napoleon.
The French Napoleon.
That was good, right?
Hi!
I went to college for three months.
The French Napoleon.
He's a French version of Napoleon, damn it!
So he has a re-election campaign poster, and it features him in front of a sea.
A beautiful shot of him in the sea.
And people went to work on it, because it's stock photography.
And it turns out it's the Aegean Sea, which is right off the coast of Greece.
So he's touting that as some French beautiful landscape.
And now they're trying to get rid of all these posters.
Stupid idiot.
So I did a hit for a Canadian broadcasting company a couple days ago.
Oh, really?
And I went to my regular studio that I use, which is Beyond Picks in San Francisco, but they've changed.
It's interesting, and I've noticed this on the...
On the, when they do these remotes.
They've changed something, which I thought was, I'm actually stunned that it took so long to do this.
In the olden days, you'd sit in front of a picture of like San Francisco or something in the background, and they'd have the camera on you, and you were all lit up, and the background was like, was in focus.
Right.
Which made it look kind of dubious.
So now they have the bouquet effect, so the background's really blurry.
Uh-huh.
But they've taken it to one higher step where now the background is on a video screen.
It's blurry and it's live action.
Well, that's distracting.
Well, no, actually, because it looks like all you see in the case, I was in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, which looks like I was going to go, it's cold out here.
But I didn't do that.
But anyway, so there was a, the bridge, it was all blurry because it was like, it was like a phony, you know, looked like, you know, that lens effect.
Yeah, it's fake.
But you can see the waves barely.
It wasn't distracting.
It actually makes it look like you're, it's all so phony.
I mean, I'm in some studio with a screen behind me.
I can't even see the Golden Gate Bridge.
What were you talking about?
I think it's disingenuous.
What was the topic?
What were you talking about?
About the history of San Francisco?
No, no.
This should have been a Silicon Valley shot.
I was talking about Apple's and Chinas.
I wrote this column accusing, you know, all of a sudden the Chinese are confiscating all the iPads because some bogus little company came up from out of the blue that's out of business and started suing Apple over a trademark violation over iPad.
And I said that this is because the Apple decided to make a big stink about the Foxconn company and they're going after them with these consultants and the Chinese said, yeah, you really?
You think you're going to do that?
And then they just put the clamps down and said, now what are you going to do?
And I'm convinced there's just a little politicking going on between the Chiners and Apple.
And as a result, Apple stock tanked right after your news hit, I'm sure.
No, Apple stock's not going to tank for a while.
It will, eventually.
Speaking of the Canadians, Kevin Rudd...
I'm sorry, Canadians.
I'm wrong.
Why did I think Canada when I meant Australia?
No, I meant Australia.
Oh.
You know Kevin Rudd, who used to be...
Wasn't he the Prime Minister?
Yeah, I think he was.
And now he's the Foreign Minister.
Okay.
So there's a video of him.
He's still got work.
Yeah, but he's trying to...
So he has to do one of these pieces like Lucifer Hillary Clinton does.
And it's part of the Chinas.
That's right.
It was something about China.
And we don't even know what the piece is, but the Telegraph released.
And I encourage...
Anyone who is a freelancer who does these, you'll never work again, but who does these things with these people, with these a-hole elitists, release the raw tape, release the outtakes of when they mess it up, because it's hilarious.
So Kevin Rudd can't get it right.
And he has a meeting at 6 o'clock.
And you can hear the guy tapping on the prompter, changing the words.
And he's swearing.
He's going off on it.
I edited it down.
The whole thing is like three minutes.
I got like 50 seconds just to get the juiciest bits.
Man, this is just impossible.
I'll get to the very end.
it's yeah it's not dead oh and tell these dickheads in the embassy to just give me simple sentences I mean, I've said this before.
Tell that bloody interpreter...
You know how it goes when they have a prompter freeze and they get really frustrated?
You've seen this happen, right?
Some people blame it on themselves, like, why can't I do this?
Why can't I do this?
But he's going off on, these idiots, these dickheads, these interpreters, why can't they get it right?
His fucking language!
He just complicates it so much, you know?
How can anyone do this?
You know what I mean?
It's just...
Becoming hopeless.
Tell them to cancel this meeting at 6 o'clock, will you?
Cancel my meeting!
Is this a fucking Chinese interpreter up there?
Just fucking hopeless.
This is the foreign minister?
Yes!
Can you imagine Hillary off camera?
Oh, it must be unbelievable.
Oh, I bet it's fantastic.
People need to release that.
This is really good.
If you really want to help.
Well, you know, you don't have to be the person doing it.
You're not the guy that's going to release it anyway.
the guys in the control room.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, this is an ENG setup.
This is just a single camera.
With a prompter on it.
This is in his office.
Yeah, but you still got to take the...
No, no, no.
It's in his office.
But there's still going to be raw footage that's going to be floating around the controller when they edit it.
That's possible, yeah.
You mean the edit suite, not the control room, the edit suite.
Yeah, the edit suite.
It's going to have the little...
We need more of this, and I will air anything you send me.
We need more of this.
This is great.
This is what YouTube was made for.
Yeah.
This is fantastic.
Really, I love it.
Bloopers.
What?
What?
Bloopers.
Yeah.
Political bloopers.
By the way, there's another show for us, John.
Yeah, political bloopers.
We could make it so that politicians actually think it's cool.
Yeah, they do it on purpose.
Yeah, I'm on P-bloopers.
P-bloopers.
It's our new show.
P-bloopers.
Political bloopers.
And now, Kevin Rudd.
He's so hilarious.
So everyone comes out and starts, you know, after we've been talking about this for, oh, I don't know, two years about commercial drones and drones everywhere and drones in the skies, and now everyone's like, oh, drones!
Oh, how do we know?
The FAA passed legislation.
And they, by the way, are the ones that are allowed to...
They screwed our business model.
They totally did.
Well, yes and no.
They must have heard us bragging about how we can take over the whole industry.
And the next thing you know, they changed the law.
So now any douchebag can fly a little drone around.
By the way, I recommend everybody get some really good high-powered pellet guns, which are usually legal in the city.
And then keep an eye out.
If you see a drone flying over, taking pictures of your backyard...
Pop about 10 rounds into that thing and see if you can drop it.
Okay, I was going to go in a little different direction.
Pellet guns are for pussies.
You need to get yourself...
No, you take...
You shoot a...
You discharge a firearm in the city limits of most towns and the cops will be right there and you'll get arrested.
So no.
Let me explain something.
So what they've done, there's two forms of drones that will be able to fly.
Okay.
And the one that will require a license where we can still be in business are the ones that fly at 2,000 feet AGL altitude.
And these will be under 55 pounds.
And this is like commercial airspace, so you can't just get a drone and fly it at 2,000 feet.
You will have to have a license.
Like I have.
And then you have to take a separate test for...
They're trying to get away from the word drone, by the way.
They're really trying to make it UAV. But we're not going to let them.
It's going to remain drone.
So that's part one.
The other part, though, is under that 2,000 feet level.
And I looked up the law, because obviously, back in the day, they said, look, if you own land, then you own the airspace all the way up to the sky, essentially, to the stratosphere.
Now, they had to do away with that for overflight, so that you can't be paying every single guy every 10 feet, like, oh, here's a dime, because I'm going to fly my commercial airliner over it.
But the law is...
Here it is.
I've looked it up.
The dividing line between the portion of airspace in the public domain and the portion protected as an incident of land ownership against invasions by aircraft is the line delineated by the Federal Aviation Administration as the minimum safe altitude of flight.
The minimum safe altitude, John, as any pilot will be able to tell you, is 500 feet.
So if something's coming over my house and it's under 500 feet, I am blasting the crap out of that with an actual firearm shotgun.
And I encourage anyone else to do the same.
And you have the legal right to do that.
And they're going to be flying these things right over your house.
300, 200, maybe 50 feet over your house.
So if it's under 500 feet, which of course is not easy to determine exactly what that is.
If you can see it and you can hit it with your shotgun, valid.
And you should do it.
And pellet guns, maybe in the city.
But this is a severe problem.
Well, anyone who's shot skeet would relish shooting one of these things because they're not moving that fast.
Oh, they can book.
Nah, I know, but if he's taking pictures, it's coming.
Yeah, if it buzzes your house, it's already going to be gone before you run outside with your gun.
What do you mean?
But if the thing is sitting around out there, it's easy pickings.
I have my gun on the balcony at all times.
What are you talking about?
I'm just waiting.
Well, you're like some crazy guy with a rocking chair with a gun next to him just waiting with his hound dog sitting next to him.
That image is exactly me.
That's exactly what I'm going to do.
And again, I can't believe people are putting up with this.
But the 2,000 feet drones is obviously also a problem.
And you should shoot those too.
I'm not going to be shooting everything.
You're going to take me to jail all you want.
I'm shooting it.
Get out.
Get out.
Like, not get off my lawn.
Get out of my airspace.
Damn it.
Go ahead and prove that you were above 500 feet.
Go ahead and prove that.
If I could reach you, then you had to be within range.
How far does a shotgun go?
A shotgun doesn't go over 500 feet.
Effectively, does it?
Not really.
I mean, it's just the spread is so ridiculous after that.
Because then I have to resort to the...
Yeah, I need some anti-aircraft gun.
You can buy those in Texas, you know.
Anti-aircraft gun.
Some pom-pom gun.
You have to see the thing moves around, yeah.
It'd be right in your backyard.
Mickey, Mickey, spin the turret!
Lead it, lead it more, lead it!
I can see it.
Oh, beautiful.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see how far all this gets.
There's a lot of crap on the horizon.
But the thing is, like they say, the drone makers were heavy lobbyists.
It's not like the model airplane guys.
This is the defense industry.
They're all jumping on this.
If you go to noagendanewsnetwork.com or subscribe to a couple of defense blogs, and one of them is the UAVS, and it's basically a blog about drones.
And the lobby is just incredible, because everyone needs to jump on this as quick as possible, because it's replacing helicopters.
It's replacing all kinds of really expensive hardware, so these guys need to get in there and make it really expensive.
Yeah, you don't want to let the cheap guys get in there and screw it up for the guys making easy money.
Nope.
Oh, boy.
Very funny, though.
Hey, we both got the same clip, I see.
Which one?
About our money.
Which clip is that?
Romney.
Romney confused.
Oh, I don't have that clip, do I? Well, I see it right here in your folder.
It says...
I don't even see Romney's name.
Maybe it somehow...
It's your folder.
That's interesting.
Well, let's listen to him then.
Well, let me take two attacks or two approaches to that question.
One is to describe my own record.
I was a conservative governor.
I've described some of the ways I've done that, how I fought for conservative social values, conservative economic values, balanced the budget every year.
Actually, during my term in office, the budget in Massachusetts grew more slowly than the rate of inflation.
Let me contrast that with the other guy who's sort of up in the polls right now, Rick Perry.
Excuse me, Rick Santorum.
Wrong script, man.
Adios.
You got your old script, dude.
Swap it out.
Wrong script, man.
You got the wrong one.
Rick Perry.
I mean, Rick Santorum.
Well, he was designed originally to be this guy that's going to be his head so they can keep spending money.
But they had to swap him out because he failed.
It's almost as though I'm looking back on this.
The more I look back on the Rick Perry thing, I think he actually tanked.
I think he did it on purpose.
He didn't want to take part in the game.
I think he is kind of a goofball.
And so he just played himself and goofballed his way because a lot of the stuff he did was way too over-the-top goofy.
Yeah.
I don't think he wanted to be part of this scheme because he knew he was going to get screwed in the deal.
He wasn't going to win because it was all about Romney.
Right.
And so he said, screw it.
Yeah, I'm out.
Or disagree.
Maybe he was expected to be vice president like I predicted.
And they said, we don't think we're going to give that to you.
Well, then screw you.
I'm out.
I'm out of the script.
Go find somebody else to play your stupid game.
And he walked.
Well, it still seems like my latest assertion slash red book prediction will come true.
A prominent Republican senator told ABC News, the compromised ABC News, that if Romney can't win Michigan, the Republican Party needs to go back to the drawing board and convince somebody new to get into the race.
Who could that be?
Jeb Bush.
So Jeb Bush is all over this thing.
I agree with the Jeb Bush potential, but I think, again, that's just part of the thing just to keep soaking these idiot contributors for more and more money for their guy so they can spend it, so the media can just soak it up.
That's a media report.
Of course it is.
And it's interesting how Ron Paul keeps...
He's on Candy Crowley's show every single Sunday morning, and I see that because the show's on around 8 o'clock here.
And it's always the same question.
So when are you going to give up?
It's always the same question.
Well, you know, if you're closer in April, would you then endorse someone else?
And Ron Paul is not having it.
He keeps saying, well, no, we're going all the way.
What are you talking about?
They just want him to say, even the smallest slip, you know, and he's very careful about it, but if he ever says, well, you know, then I might do this or that, then all of a sudden, oh!
They just want him to say he'll give up.
They're so sick and tired of it.
They really can't handle it.
Well, it's a problem because he comes out with these, you know, assertions about one thing or another.
He's a man of conscience, even though, I guess, voting against Charles Schultz, a cartoonist from getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, is some horrible thing, according to Keith Olbermann.
You know, we should just give the award to everybody.
Yeah.
We should get one.
We should get one if he's going to be that liberal.
But, uh, so Ron Paul, you know, keeps bringing up, no, a torture is illegal.
Oh, no, this isn't good.
We should get out of these wars.
All the stuff that Obama promised, you know, he's kind of saying the same thing, which is what got Obama elected.
I'm totally convinced that everyone voted for Obama because he was anti-war and anti-this and anti-Bush and anti-the other thing.
And then he just became the same thing all over again.
And now all these people are horribly disappointed.
If you listen to democracy now, it's like they they still won't come to grips with it.
But you can just tell they're bummed out.
Yeah, they don't know what to do.
They can't put another guy in.
He's going to run again.
And so they're buying into the well.
It was the one he had this recent one.
Well, you know, they'll fix it next time.
He'll fix it.
Yeah, he had to be that way because it was the first term.
It's bullcrap.
Well, I will also give a lot of these people the benefit of the doubt.
And, you know, they got tricked.
They really bought into the...
Look, it was a huge movement, John.
You can't deny that there was an emotional feeling that people were just like, hey, here's a guy, he's really saying he's going to change it.
Now, of course, it was a trick.
It was an actual trick.
But people really bought into that, and they're disappointed and dismayed that they got tricked.
Yeah, they got suckered, and now they've come to a reality that they're uncomfortable with.
That these guys, all of them, except for maybe Ron Paul, all of them are a bunch of criminals.
And they lie, and they do stuff like the Peter King thing that you played earlier.
Or just the out-and-out blatant lie of Rick Santorum about the bracelets in Holland.
It's bullcrap.
One thing after another.
And then you have the people who support the bullcrap, like Olbermann.
It's gotten worse.
Angelina Jolie is now confirmed to be an asset.
It's unbelievable.
So she does this movie about Bosnia.
And wasn't Bosnia, John, am I crazy in not remembering, wasn't that also about a pipeline?
I'm sure there was a pipeline.
Wasn't that a Balkans pipeline type thing deal?
It could be.
I'm sure it wasn't.
Let me look it up.
The elitists don't really give a crap.
So anyway, she does this movie where she says she financed herself.
A big chunk of change.
Probably $15-20 million.
Wait a minute.
Before we go on...
Apparently now there's a new initiative, the Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline going through Bosnia, which is a natural gas proposed pipeline.
There you go.
Which may have something to do with your other...
The Leviathan Theory, absolutely.
Well, she's now coming, as part of the Leviathan Theory, she's now coming out and says, this is Angelina Jolie, it's time to intervene in Syria.
Hmm, isn't that interesting?
And then she's at an awards...
What's she got to do with it?
Well, people listen to her.
Come on, man.
She's hot.
Sexy.
She want to steal some kids, or what's the deal?
No, no, no.
She's an asset.
Remember, she is the United Nations ambassador for refugees.
So she's a confirmed asset.
Quote, I think Syria has got to a point, sadly, where certainly some form of intervention is absolutely necessary, Jolie told Al Jazeera Balkans in an interview shown on the channel's internet site.
It's so sad, it's so upsetting, it's so horrible what's happening.
At this time we just must stop the civilians being slaughtered.
And then she goes to Egypt.
And we have the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Schill of the Crisis Institute, the guy who was supposed to go in and become president of Egypt, Al Baradai.
And Al Baradai gives her some award and kisses her.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
So, you know, it's like...
Anything to get a cheap kiss.
Apparently she's like five foot three.
Did you know this?
I thought she was like six foot tall.
Well, this is the right way we've said this in a million times.
This should be in Wikipedia.
I've been told that she's like one of these, you know, like a pixie.
Well, that could be because, I mean, you don't know, but it seems as if Brad Pitt is not a tall man.
No, he's not.
He's not.
And let's see if we can get, I'll look up Angelina Jolie height, and usually they have a few references.
That's always wrong, by the way.
Yeah.
Angelina Jolie weight, because they lie.
But she's 5'5".
I bet she's smaller than that.
No, wait, no, that's just somebody else.
No, it says she's 5'7".
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
I was speaking to people who have met her, and they said, no, she's like a pixie.
She's like a little, teeny, dainty little thing.
You just want to pick her up between your thumb and index finger.
Like, put her over there.
I don't believe she's 5'7".
She's very thin.
Well, yeah, but that's what I mean.
She's like a little pixie.
But she's 5'7", it says by everyone.
Yeah, I don't believe that.
Apparently, recently, she's down to like 100 pounds or something.
Now, I don't have to tell you how I know that a lot of these things are wrong, but a lot of these things are wrong, particularly when it comes to height, weight, and age.
But I'd say height and age are the two most lied about things on Wikipedia.
I think weight is right up there.
Maybe.
Here's one where she says he's 5'8".
Please!
No way!
Even that I know is not true.
No way.
That can't be.
No way.
So, anyway.
Yeah, we gotta get...
Because there is something else going on with Kosovo.
What's going on?
I keep reading about this.
That would be this natural gas pipeline.
Hold on a second.
Because I actually didn't pull the clip, but Lucifer Clippity Clop.
Let me see.
I bet you this is about it.
While you're doing it, you want to take just a quick aside?
I think somebody's listening to our show.
You think?
Yeah.
Well, because I watched the children's show Doodle Bops.
It's just the worst piece of crap ever produced for children.
Doodle Bops.
And there's a reference to our show in there.
If you play the clip, just as a shorty, you tell me that you can spot it.
Come on, Mo, let's go.
That was a good hiding spot.
I'm Deedee Doodle.
I'm Rooney Doodle.
I'm Moe Doodle.
And we're the Doodle Bops!
The Clippity Clops!
We're the Doodle Bops!
Well, that's just silly!
The Clippity Clops!
Writers are writers that write for the Doodle Bops who are listening to our show.
Hey, we're moving up in the world.
Yeah, Clippity-Clop was out there with, let me see, let me search for the word Kosovo.
There it is.
Oh my goodness.
She was out with Kathy Ashton, and they were like blowing each other again.
I saw the picture of the two of them.
I saw a picture of Hillary and Ashton recently.
That's what I'm saying, those two, Clippity-Clop and Ashton.
They look like gay lovers.
They would make a handsome couple, wouldn't they?
I think so.
Let's see.
Hillary doesn't look good.
She's gaining weight.
She looks tired.
I think they're ruining her.
It's always a pleasure to welcome my friend and colleague, the high representative.
What's this high representative bullcrap?
She's stoned, man.
She's high.
What else could it mean?
Kathy, man.
Hey, man.
High representative.
Pass on the crack pipe, man.
I want to get high, too.
You can't be the only one who's high.
Union here to Washington.
We always have a lot to discuss, and we are always relying on each other because, as I said in...
Munich, a few weeks ago, Europe remains America's partner of first resort on all of the global challenges we are confronting together.
I know that Kathy understands the significance of our ongoing violence against Syrian people.
Yeah, really.
Let's see if I can find it.
I also want to extend, on behalf of myself and our government, our sympathies to the family of Anthony Shadid and to the New York Times.
Yeah, by the way, this was kind of weird.
This Anthony Shadid deal.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah, so this is a prize-winning journalist.
He's been shot.
The guy sounds like one of these characters you run into when you read about the Civil War and these guys are basically running around with no arms or legs and they're still fighting.
And so he's in Syria.
I see the guys from CNN are just now on the street in homes.
They're not on the street, but he had to climb through barbed wire through Turkey and come into Syria.
When you read the story of his passing because of an unfortunate bout of asthma, Yeah.
Did you have like a, hmm, really?
Two to the head.
Yeah.
I mean, because the guy speaks fluent Arabic, multiple dialects.
I'm thinking he found out what the true bullcrap is, and I'm like, sorry, man.
Good work.
But...
I mean, it's horrible.
I think most people, not most people, but at least listeners to this show and others have deconstructed some of this.
I think there was something more than anything we've even thought of that he must have uncovered.
He's one of those guys that's digging around constantly.
Yeah, he's really digging deep.
I mean, it's something that if anyone knew, and we obviously don't know what it is, there would have been a disaster for someone.
Who knows?
You may have run into a whole...
I have no idea.
A poker party with Jimmy Carter, for all we know.
I mean, who knows?
Or maybe the third Obama.
I have no idea.
Let's listen to Lucifer, because she does mention Kosovo in this.
The opposition and to provide relief to the people of Syria.
I will be attending the Friends of Syria conference in Tunisia next week.
Friends of Syria conference?
Did you get an invite to that?
Oh, I got snubbed!
A number of nations will work to intensify pressure on the regime and to mobilize the humanitarian...
Yeah, so here it comes.
Actually, there is something going on with Kosovo, which we weren't aware of, and she's going to bring it up.
I'm looking at the transcript, since I didn't clip this, so I'm kind of filling time.
Regime's actions tear the country apart.
Here it comes.
We're looking for...
Let me forward it.
Here we go.
...is leading to try to advance Euro integration for both Serbia and Kosovo.
Deputy Secretary Burns is encouraging both sides to remain flexible and open to compromise.
Okay, so what is going on?
That must be the pipeline.
Yeah, obviously that's all she's on right now is the pipeline stuff.
Everything that she's doing, if we've just listened to the last five or six shows, and actually any shows after Leviathan, she's always connected to this thing somehow.
Right with the Noble Oil thing.
I mean, everything is connecting her to this, and so she's going to be...
I don't know.
Maybe she's a quality control person.
The front man?
The guy who goes ahead?
Advanced person.
She's the advanced man for everything.
Making sure all the ducks are in a row so nobody screws up when they put all these things together.
So there's a couple of interesting news articles where we just stick on Leviathan for a second.
And by the way...
It is the largest natural gas offshore discovery in the world in the last decade.
Leviathan!
Leviathan!
It's a little long, but I like it.
It's a little long.
So I've gotten a lot of insider emails.
And these come in encrypted.
You can use PGP encryption.
And even after I've read it, I delete it.
And hopefully that protects you and me.
Right.
And I don't do any of that.
No, please don't send it to John.
Whatever you do.
Just in case.
So, Solar Turbines.
Have you heard of this company?
Yes.
I'm sure I will.
So, Solar Turbines was purchased by Caterpillar.
It's a caterpillar company.
And my source has a source well positioned at solar.
And so my source, that's Adam here, said to his person in that organization, so how are you doing with solar turbines?
It sounds so innocuous.
Like it's about turbines for solar.
Or something.
But it's apparently not.
Apparently they're making an effing killing on their natural gas turbines.
Yeah.
Huge.
Huge.
I'll read from their website.
Products from solar turbines may play an important role in the development of oil, natural gas, and power generation projects around the world.
It's huge, apparently.
Now, Turkey, as you know, Turkey kind of got cut out of this Leviathan gas field in Israel and Cyprus deal.
And Turkey are now starting to freak out as Israel and Cyprus signed their agreement that will allow Israeli defense planes and ships to use Cypriot airspace and territorial waters.
And Turkey's saying, oh yeah?
Well, we're turning our ships around too.
So we could see an actual war happening there because Cyprus, part of that is Turkish.
Am I correct in saying that?
Yeah.
So here's the way this could play out.
So the Syrian thing is just a show to force the Russians to take some positive side in the Cypriot action.
So Russia's going to do some...
This would be my prediction for the Red Book.
There's going to be some sort of weird activity with a confrontation between Russia and Turkey.
And when the Russians finally make the Turks back off, then the Syrian thing calms down.
Because the Russians are the ones that are hurt most by the Syrian thing.
Yes.
It's all about Russia.
So, meanwhile, in order to prepare the market for gas energy generation, two things are happening in Germany.
The dealers played a little game, and a large portion of Germany almost went to blackout because they were messing around with the reserves, with the gas reserves.
And this is very similar, I guess, to what happened with Enron in California.
But what came out in the news was, oh, you know, we've shut down nuclear energy, which they haven't yet.
It's supposed to happen, like, over the course of the next five years.
But it was kind of portrayed in the media as, oh, my goodness, you know, it's like, we need a fix for this.
Something needs to be solved.
Because, you know, this nuclear energy, we're not going to have that anymore, so we need more gas.
And CNN, and we actually both received an email from Atomic Rod about this today.
CNN did their report, which we previewed, about the nuclear industry.
Yeah.
Did you see any of that report?
No, I didn't.
I missed it.
I got a little piece of it, and the memes are everywhere.
We're here in Vermont where there's a battle brewing that could determine the future of nuclear power for the U.S. At the center of this battle, this nuclear plant, the same design as Fukushima.
Bullcrap!
Same design as Fukushima.
Let me mention something.
I want to do a little background here just before we go on with this.
First of all, people always like to talk about the French.
They have a system in France where they get most of their power, electricity from nukes.
They're all over the place.
And I've talked to a nuclear physicist or a designer about this once.
He said, well, in France, it works very well because they have one standard design.
And so everyone who works in any one of these plants, they can quit one job and go to another plant someplace else.
It's the exact same equipment.
The problem with the USA has always been...
Even though you have the same company like General Electric making most of these plants, they're all custom made.
They're custom outfitted.
They're all like custom cars.
There's no two alike.
So how would this one be a copy of Fukushima, which is an old design?
That's bull crap.
Well, let's listen to her report because she actually discusses that immediately.
Oh, cue ominous music, please.
The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station is 40 years old.
40 years old!
Its operating license, issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or NRC, is set to expire next month.
It's one of 23 Mark I design nuclear reactors in the U.S. So that sounds like at least there were 23 the same, John.
Well, I wonder whether they were the same.
I'll look into that to correct myself in a future show, but go on.
The problems with this design are well known to industry insiders.
To the insiders, yes.
Well known.
This is a problem.
Nuclear bad.
Including the NRC. According to government documents dating back to 1972.
What is the point of running music behind a documentary style of presentation?
Unless you're trying to influence the thought process of somebody listening to this crap.
72, the NRC said we never should have licensed this Mark 1 design, period.
Period.
But they also said we've got so many of them licensed already that if we were to change our mind, that would ruin nuclear power forever.
Aha.
So this is the whole point.
Who's this guy?
He's a whistleblower bullcrap guy with a beard.
So Atomic Rod does a nice bit of deconstruction about this.
And the problem, of course, is I don't understand nuclear energy.
But I am willing to take at face value that it is probably very cheap and very effective and very safe.
I'm really willing to take that at face value.
But because it's called nuclear, we all think of bombs going off.
And the way it's being presented by CNN, which I will point out, owned by Time Warner, large shareholder.
What's his name?
Ted?
Ted Turner.
Ted Turner, who owns tons of gas land.
That's what he owns.
Liquid, you know, natural gas.
So he would be against nuclear.
Sure he would.
But if you look at the cost of nuclear fuel, and particularly of the raw materials, it's really, really cheap.
And so no one benefits in the oil and gas cabal, particularly the gas cabal now, if nuclear energy is even around.
So forget building new plants.
They want to get rid of the old ones.
Just ruin everything.
Get rid of the whole shebang and have a great party.
Apparently, this plant in Vermont and the Fukushima plants were all based on this Mark I design.
So that's true.
Now, if they're identical, I wonder.
Because my understanding is no two of these were...
I think the basic design is probably identical.
And everyone says the Mark I is the worst thing ever.
35 years ago, Dale G. Breidenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric resigned from their jobs after becoming increasingly convinced that the nuclear reactor design they were reviewing, the Mark I, was so flawed it could lead to a devastating accident.
Right.
Questions persisted for decades about the ability of the Mark I to handle the immense pressures that would result if the reactor lost cooling power.
Right.
Okay.
I stand almost corrected.
So when was Three Mile Island?
That's a good question.
And did anyone die?
Because I was too young, I think.
I wasn't really cognizant of Three Mile Island.
For those of you who don't know, which, by the way, TMI, before it was too much information, stood for Three Mile Island.
You can see how language changed, interestingly enough.
Yeah, 1979.
Okay.
What movie came out in 1979?
Yeah.
I think that was the movie with Jane Fonda, The China Syndrome.
Yeah, Jane Fonda married to...
Well, she was later married to Ted Turner, but I don't think she was married to him at the time.
She was a radical left-winger at the time.
Right, but I think we'll find out when she got married to him.
But The China Syndrome came out, which was about a meltdown of a nuclear reactor.
Yeah, exact same story.
Exact same story.
So you gotta wonder if this hasn't been going on for a long time.
I mean, seriously.
She was married to Tom Hayden, the radical, until 1989, so she was a good 10 years.
In fact, she only married Turner in 91.
Oh, okay.
Alright.
But that coincidence is pretty interesting.
And did anyone die at Three Mile Island?
Well, you made me change pages.
I don't think anybody did, actually.
Is it contaminated?
Can we no longer visit that?
I mean, we're all going to die?
No, even go by there and have a soda pop.
It's Pennsylvania, right?
The Sasquahanna Valley, right?
Yeah, Harrisburg, right.
My aunt lives in Harrisburg.
She's still alive.
How old is she?
Aunt Jannie?
She's got to be 80.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah.
Three Mile Island?
It's apparently a stuck valve.
Yeah.
But I do remember watching television and seeing these things and we're all looking at it.
Oh, is it going to blow?
Is it going to blow at any minute?
We're going to have a complete meltdown.
So maybe there's something to this nuclear energy.
There's been a lot of improvements in this stuff.
I wish I could make it.
Can I make nuclear energy in my basement or something?
You keep bringing this up.
You keep wanting to do that.
Yeah, can I? Have a small little pile in the backyard that's just grinding out steam to power your place.
Is it possible?
Yeah, they do it.
I mean, I think it'd be a little bigger than you'd want, but it can't be much bigger than a big generator.
What do I need for that?
Do I need nails and glue?
Licenses.
Yeah, I need nails and glue and lots of licenses.
No, but seriously, from a chemical or from a physicist's perspective.
You need to buy some fuel for it.
First, you need the proper construction, and I don't know if they make them that small, except for on ships.
Maybe in a submarine thing might work.
Right, right.
And, I don't know.
Keep looking into it.
I'd like to, well, I will keep looking into it.
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.
In the morning.
Do I need yellow cake for it?
Yeah, from Nigeria.
And you'll probably get a letter in the mail about it.
From some Nigerian.
Trying to get some money out of the country.
Because he owns all his yellow cake.
Warren Weicker in Victoria, B.C., $150, he donated.
And tonight on my way to a private poker game, I thought to myself, if I win the pot, I'll donate it to no agenda.
I saw him tweet the picture.
He won the pot.
Yeah, no, he had a huge stack of chips.
He proceeded to lose half of my $20 buy-in in the first hour, so I publicly tweeted my promise to donate if I won.
Suddenly, my luck changed.
Over the next three hours, I managed to knock out all seven other players and walked away with a $170 pot.
What?
Could there be such a thing as no agenda pre-karma?
I'll have to experiment with this.
Here's the $150 of profits.
I'm holding back my $20 to buy and to try again next time.
Anyways, thanks for all your hard work assassinating the media.
Please de-douche me and send any remaining karmic balance after tonight's karma advance to my wife, who's been attending grad school in another city five hours away for the past year and a half.
Oh, right.
Well, first of all, we have no idea.
Report back and see how that works with the balance of your karma.
So here it comes.
De-douching and karma double shot.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
That's nice.
Well, I think it is possible, you know, and we don't know nothing about karma other than people seem to enjoy it.
That if you think about it and say, you know, hey, this is what I'm going to do.
I'm going to use my pre-karma, and if I win...
Now, of course, the thing probably would not be good to then not, like, go, you know, make good on the karma.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, he did the promise on the Twitters, and so he ended up having to be a donor now.
I'd never hold him to it, but...
William Langford in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, another contributor, $100.
This makes me one-fifth of the way to knighthood, and he needs karma for his compensation exam with the VA. I'm not dead yet, and they want to know why.
Oh, God.
That's terrible.
That's horrible, yeah.
You've got karma.
Wow.
Wow.
We won't ask.
Warren Carroll in Des Moines, Washington, which is, I didn't know there was a Des Moines in Washington.
Usually most, you know, $100 investigation into the Leviathan Project has been one of the most interesting and well-produced discussions I have ever heard.
Good.
You have outdone yourselves.
Here's a donation to help fund Adam's work on the condensed clip that he was going to try and put together, Hail the Foot.
Yeah, I'm still working on it.
Yeah, it's not easy.
This stuff, you know, especially doing video, it's painful.
Someone else should be doing that, actually.
Yeah, you need a little staff down there with some minions.
That's what I need.
I need staff.
Yeah.
We need staff and minions.
I'm happy I get coffee halfway through the show.
You got coffee?
Yeah, I got coffee.
Nicky always brings me coffee just before the donation segment.
We also have $100 from Mark Smith in London with no comment.
London, London.
I'm assuming that's in the UK. It could be London, Ontario, but it seems like the UK. Jan Persiel in Hamburg, HA, which I would assume is...
Deutschland.
Get my nation, Deutschland.
Deutschland.
It has to be.
Deutschland.
Hey, John and Adam.
Hey, citizen.
A quick lucky number contribution.
8888.
He's asking for some karma for his upcoming trip to India.
Hey, Werner, I try my best to be there on time and here's a great tip for everyone's next vacation or extended holiday trip.
After you've enabled your email autoresponder...
Check whether your auto-donator over PayPal is active as well.
I just checked mine and feel well prepared for the trip now.
Please keep up the great work.
And then he says something.
Hachipula ching ching.
Oh.
Hachipula ching.
What is that?
I recognize that anywhere.
It's good.
Robert Vincent in Chagrin Falls.
What a name for a town.
Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
They probably pronounce it Chagrin.
$75.
Bob in Cleveland.
Longtime boner.
Looking for some karma for a new job.
Career starting January 27th.
Oh, very nice.
Sorry.
You've got...
Did you give Priscilla a karma?
I don't think so.
I'm going to give him a hapuchara ching-ching karma.
He doesn't understand this ching-ching.
You've got karma.
Now he's set to go in India.
Watch out for the food poisoning, by the way.
Kimberly Lewis, only eat local and eat all the spicy stuff you can.
It won't be easy to do, but you won't get sick.
Kimberly Lewis, Davis, California, 69-69.
We seem to have a 69-69 thing going on.
69 karma.
Since the last show.
Hi, John and Adam.
First time donor to the greatest podcast in the universe.
I'd like to request a de-douching as well as karma shot for my birthday shout out.
We got that listed.
For my smoking hot hubby, Al Nonymous.
He got me hooked on your show when we started sharing about three hours of daily commute bliss.
Keeping from having to talk.
Thank you for all the hard work in keeping us entertained as we circle the giant drain hole of the universe.
This is actually great.
Yeah, it's like, you know, it's like, honey, just turn on the Noah Jim to show.
I really don't want to talk to you.
She's in San Francisco.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Matthew Phillips, or Matho, but I think it's probably pronounced Matthew.
I could be wrong.
In Dearborn Heights.
Another 6969, as in Matthew, not French.
Oh, I got it right to begin with.
Not French, but my parents do not like me.
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
All right.
Another 6969 coming in from Daniel in Melbourne, Victoria.
I think this all began with Shern, Kerry Shern, who started the 69 meme.
I'm liking it.
That's fine.
6969.
Refer to me as Daniel from Melbourne.
Thanks.
Thanks for the entertainment that accompanied me during my long drive through the green New Zealand pastures for my 33 days of holidays.
I get 33 days.
The 6969 is also because I want to return to Australia as a donor, not a sheep boner.
Excellent.
Thank you.
And Don in Columbus, Ohio, 6666.
Kind of the evil number in Columbus, Ohio.
Hi from Donna War.
Please do not say my legal last name on the podcast, which is not mentioned.
I'm smoking my Megadeth CDs over here and feeling like I should donate 666, the heavy metal donation amount.
Since I've been listening to No Agenda, I've gone from not understanding politics to knowing that no one else could possibly understand politics.
Thanks for that.
Which you might as well say thanks for nothing.
Also, it's my birthday.
We got her down.
I'll be 44 and still rocking.
Excellent.
Mom and Dad thought it was a phase.
Yay.
Tim Paradox in Little Hocking, Ohio.
5525.
Please read My Name is Tim Parake.
In the morning from Gitmo Nation's drunk student at the home of America's number one party school, Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
Woo!
I think Chico State would maybe take you on with that one.
But, please call out long-time boners Mr.
Whiskey, Sip Sick Puppy, and Predator Doctor as Douchebags.
Well, I'm happy to do that.
Douchebag!
Donating drunk and could use a Huntsman Karma Combo Jingle for a potential upcoming home purchase.
Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
Tightness.
Joe the Dish Slave is back from Stockton.
5510.
Hey John and Adam.
Joe the Dish Slave here again with double nickels on the dime.
Please put the donation to my wonderful wife's damehood as any good night in the flat where it needs a damsel to rescue.
I would appreciate a mention of my podcast, The Ozone Nightmare.
It's the same one he sent last time.
Thanks for the hookers and blow.
First of all, he's now Knight of the Flatware.
Yeah, Knight of the Flatware.
Sir Simon Reed is New York, New York, New York.
55, double nickels on the dime, ITM citizens.
Can I get some karma for my sister who's going through a tough time even though she doesn't listen to the show and groans.
She groans whenever I talk about it.
She really could do with the help.
Well, maybe you should turn her on to the show, man.
Get her to listen, because, well, let's have...
She won't listen.
We'll throw out some help her get listening karma.
You've got karma.
It's Rene Estevez in Orlando, Florida, double nickels on the dime.
It's his first time donor, long time boner, which recently got dumped the day after Valentine's Day.
By the way, this is very common.
Yeah, it happens a lot.
It happens a lot because people didn't get the Valentine they expected.
You can thank Hallmark for this disaster.
Anyways, which is just as bad if you ask me, since I'm now a statistic, I'm requesting some slide whistle karma.
Not for myself, but for all the suckers who still believe in love.
This one's for you.
Ready for the slide whistle karma?
Okay, ready?
Here we go.
You thought karma.
Excellent.
P.S. I could be wrong, but the last two times you guys denied karma to a sports ball team, they both lost a subsequent match.
There you go.
Sounds like a fractal to me.
Yep.
If so, I'd like to request some karma for Rick Santorum.
It's a funny idea, though.
It's all because we won't give it to them.
Exactly.
Oh, I see.
That's cool.
That's sneaky.
That's like what kids do.
Parents do their kids.
Like reverse psychology.
Yeah, she's reverse psychology.
Psychologizing us.
Nice, nice.
And she hates love.
Yeah, they give her a couple months.
Anybody in Orlando, look her up.
Alexis Richardson, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Double nickels on the dime.
My name is Alexis, pronounced Alexis.
Thank you very much.
I would like to wish my wonderful boyfriend Clint...
What is...
Where are these...
Who's spelling these names?
Clint?
It's Arkansas.
He'll be 24 on the 21st and more importantly is responsible for my no agenda addiction.
Nice.
Very good, Clint.
The best podcast in the universe, she says.
Thank you very much.
Double nickels on a dime from Kent O'Rourke in Frostburg, Maryland.
Just want to request some karma from my friend Angie.
Angie!
You've got karma.
Angie!
Sir Nathan Marshall, Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Double nickels on the dime.
That's Sir Marshall to you.
I had to donate after last Thursday's show.
You prove once again why No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe.
I need a shot of karma to find a new place to live and for North Dakota to eliminate property taxes for good this coming November.
Good luck with that.
You've got karma.
As an aside, there's no reason with all that oil and gas they've got under that state and the wind power they could generate that there's any reason whatsoever that anyone should be paying any taxes at all, property or otherwise.
Seriously.
I'm down with that.
Jonathan Rucks in Alpharetta, Georgia, 5290.
I just donated 5290 to get some karma for my buddies Derek Dean and Jason Licata.
They turned me on to you in JCD, so it's well deserved.
I'm attending a mass precinct meeting to hopefully become a delegate for Mr.
Ron Paul here in Gitmo Hill, Billy, Atlanta, Georgia.
A little shot of karma definitely helped.
Big thanks to you and the Buzzkill for the eye-opening info.
You've got karma.
Hey, hey, hey.
Easy.
Slide whistle only on request.
Bart Barton's best.
I have no idea where he's from.
He's from Ports Unknown.
$50.
Been a while.
Good work.
Keep it going.
Can I get some karma for me and my loved one?
Okay.
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
Another $50 from Eon Larson in Auckland.
My donation is in honor of my daughter's 22nd.
We've got her on the list.
2102-2012, a palindromic date for all of you international listeners out there.
2102-2012.
Yeah, it's European.
Yes, European.
It's silly U.S. citizens in their nonsensical date system.
Hey, citizen.
And finally, without comment, from Geneva, Illinois, Jason Fortun came in with $50.
I do have one additional check that came in from Brian Navarro in Chicago.
Send in a nice check for $99.99.
And I've noticed something funny.
I don't want to go too deep into this.
But we get a lot of these checks because people do these time payment plans.
And people put little messages.
Well, that's nice.
This one says apply to account karma.
So I'm assuming he wants a karma account.
Let's make sure we give him that then.
That's good.
You've got Carmen.
Nice.
But there's all these cute little messages that are in here, you know, in the morning, ITM, let's see if there's anything funny ones here, slave from slave, sending one year, listening back.
A lot of people are doing...
John Henry, who we credited last time, he did a one-year back pay, and it's on the check.
It says memo.
Another one came in from David Burneff from Raleigh, North Carolina for $50, and his memo on his check says, giving is loving on the check.
It's actually quite funny.
Well, I think it's really good, and a lot of people are saying, hey, man, how can I send a check?
And so there are multiple ways to do it.
All of that, of course, is explained at...
That is the place to go and find out all of that information.
Yeah, we'll have some more information on these time payment plans.
Some of them are interesting because at least one operation consolidates them so you get an envelope full of these checks.
Everybody else, we have one guy sending in a dollar and he gets it and the bank sends it and I don't think he's being charged with a postage or anything.
He just comes in, you know, the banks.
These time payment plans are pretty amazing.
And most banks do them, so check it out.
And with your support, we keep this program on two days a week, which we're very happy to do.
So, I mean, of course, after we discuss this, donations have, you know, typical, you know, everyone jumps on, then it slips a little bit.
But we would evaluate the month.
I think we just do it on month by month.
We evaluate the month of February, and we see how it goes, and then we continue for the next month.
That seems fair enough, doesn't it?
Yeah.
I think we're doing okay.
Our supporters have come around.
We have to thank all of them.
We hope they continue to do so.
It's always nice to see you.
We have a lot of patrons who come back.
Some people send in small amounts.
We do get a lot of $49 ones.
People don't want to be mentioned.
They don't feel it's necessary to be lecturing the public.
They stay serious and anonymous.
Others don't care so much.
And it's not just the program you get.
You also get the show notes, which you can find at episodenumber.nashownotes.com.
So you have, today's will be 384.nashownotes.com.
And also the art.
And we can't thank our artists enough for all the great work they do.
And I think it's entertaining.
I really do.
I think it's a big part of the show.
In fact, we have correlated bad art to low support for the show.
Yeah, there's actually something to that.
In fact, when we have a clunker show, sometimes we get no art.
I think our artists just turn off the show.
I'm not sure.
Of course, we do need the stream to run, because the artists usually do the art in real time.
Yeah.
Well, Sir Gitmo Slave and Mr.
Oil are all over that, and I guess we've been okay since we had that little snafu earlier on.
Okay, one more time to program your brain.
So we got a nice little list today.
And of course, your donation of $50 or more helps you get on this birthday list.
And we always send a follow-up card every subsequent year that we're still on the air.
Brian Mancuso, he congratulated himself.
His birthday was yesterday.
James Howard, his happy birthday to himself yesterday as well.
Kimberly Lewis congratulates her husband, Al Anonymous, celebrating on the 20th tomorrow.
Dawn wants to congratulate herself.
She turns 44 now.
On the 28th.
Seems like we're a little early on that.
We might have to do it again next week.
Ian Larson's daughter turns 22 on Tuesday.
And Alexis Richardson, her boyfriend Clint, turns 24 on Tuesday.
Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
So there's one, and by the way, we do want to thank everybody profusely for helping us.
There's a show I've been trying to, I don't think too many of our listeners watch.
And it's a J.J. Abrams show because he does Fringe.
I don't think a lot of our listeners watch Fringe, which is a wild show, but it's hard to follow.
I don't watch any of that stuff.
He's now doing Alcatraz.
And the show that's taking off and doing well, but again, you probably haven't watched either, which I think is a really great little drama.
It's called Persons of Interest about a guy who developed a computer that watches everything everybody does in the entire United States and has been kept a secret.
It's a pre-crime show.
It's a total of pre-crime.
It is a pre-crime show.
And this little clip, I just said, wow, this is just right up our alley.
Because it's one of our memes that, I guess, one of the scriptwriters decided to just put it out there and see what happens to get some attention.
Stay down.
Don't nobody move.
On the ground.
You gonna arrest me?
I'll be out in 14 hours.
And then I'm coming for you.
They had me the police officer.
I'll add that to the charges.
There won't be any charges.
At least none that stick.
The CIA. What?
The CIA is trafficking drugs.
The government couldn't win the war on drugs.
So they're using it to fund the war on terror.
It's common knowledge?
Doubtful.
The company's built on secrets.
I risked my life for this.
I'm taking a minute.
You do.
And the company will ruin your career.
And that's if you're lucky.
I'm taking a minute.
Well, this is better than 60 Minutes.
It's the truth.
Yeah, it's the truth right there.
We haven't discussed this in a while, but there's a number of really good books you can read.
And the one I like the best is Legacy of Ashes, written by Wiener.
Weiner or Weiner?
Weiner, I think it is, a former New York Times journalist.
And as you know, I corroborated this with my Uncle Don, longtime OSSCS CIA operative all over the world.
And when you read it, I mean, this is Iran-Contra.
This is literally...
It's all facts.
Yeah.
And in fact, fluoridating water at camps to subdue a camp before they go in and get whatever they need to get.
All of that is all true.
It's all in there.
So I was listening to this clip, and there was one discrepant little line in there that I thought was odd.
The CIA guy was the drug dealer.
And by the way, the guy who spotted him as the CIA guy was a rogue agent.
The drug dealer guy says, yeah, you're going to arrest me, but I'll be out in 14 hours.
And I thought the 14 hours was rather specific.
And I'm still wondering why, what message are we being sent with this number 14?
So I'm keeping an eye out.
Okay, good.
I have no idea what that is.
No, why would it be 14 hours?
Why wouldn't the guy say, yeah, you can arrest me, but I'll be out in no time, or I'll be out before you get back on the show.
Which is typical dialogue, but 14, specifically 14 hours?
The hell is that supposed to mean?
So there is, of course, a lot of stuff that we don't actually understand, but sometimes just by mentioning it on the show, people do say, hey, well, you know, I've got a connection to that.
Our listeners, for those of you who are new, we actually refer to them as producers, and they do produce the show.
Executive producers pay for it.
Associate executive producers pay for it.
And producers help us produce by getting information, field production, really.
It's crowdsourced.
Yes.
I don't like the name crowdsourced.
I do.
I love it.
So I've been, of course, paying attention to Pfizer.
The makers of Xanax that reportedly...
Getting lots of free publicity, I might add.
Well, I mean, I'm sure...
Don't you think this...
Message from CNN is publicity where you go, oh, well, everybody's taking Xanax and then drinking alcohol and they get wasted.
Why are they, you know, is this like a formula for like getting, oh, I didn't know that.
Let me try that.
I'm going to see what that's like.
No, I think it's a three-pronged approach.
First of all, Pfizer is doing what they should, we have a saying in the Netherlands, which means when you're being shaved, you should sit very quietly.
And I believe that this is all part of Pfizer.
When these congressional hearings start, and Dianne Feinstein already has the legislation in, it's going to turn out that Whitney Houston had either a counterfeit Xanax, Right?
Yeah, and it could still happen.
It could still happen.
Either that or, you know, everyone goes into this registry database and you shouldn't be getting Xanax from Canada or any other drug from Canada.
And so another one of Pfizer's big ones is Viagra.
And Viagra actually does not go out of patent until 2020, but there was a real problem Because the active ingredient, Revatio, is the active ingredient in Viagra, it was about to go out of patent, which means that you could potentially go and make your own boner medicine.
So they sued, and whatever they did, they got a six-month extension on the patent.
And Rovatio, actually, interestingly enough, is used for kids.
So I'm not quite sure how that all plays together, but it's interesting to see they're doing anything they can to extend their patents, because I was just looking at the numbers.
Their revenue, Pfizer, ever since Lipitor went out of patent, you now can get generic Lipitor, their revenues were cut in half.
I mean, we're talking like billions of dollars less money coming in.
So it's obvious that they're just doing anything they can.
How about this, Ray?
I got an idea for these guys.
What?
I got a really good idea.
Come up with some new drugs that are like maybe antibiotics or something that actually helps mankind instead of milking the old ones to death.
Maybe develop something new.
How about that for a concept?
It's my suggestion.
Well, they're trying that.
They're trying.
Oh, really?
I don't see it.
They're spending all their money on advertising.
So, Purdue Pharma, up in Canada, are pulling OxyContin.
Is that how you pronounce it?
OxyContin?
OxyContin, yeah.
OxyContin.
They're pulling it off the shelves in March.
They're changing the formula.
Here's what's going on.
Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, which is twice as strong as morphine, we might point out, will stop manufacturing the drug in its current form at the end of the month.
Oxycontin taken orally in pill form is a long-acting form of the highly addictive opioid oxycodone, but when the pill is chewed or crushed, when injected or inhaled, it produces a heroin-like euphoria.
It's basically synthetic heroin.
So they're pulling it off the shelf, and they're going to make a new form of a pill that you can't crush, and if you try to liquefy it, it only turns into some kind of gel which you then can't extract for injection.
And this is a big deal in Canada because everyone's freaking out saying, well, they're all going to turn to heroin.
I'm like, yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't that the point?
Coincidentally, up there in Toronto, the Border Services Agency said it found 13 kilograms of opium at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
So I guess they're starting.
Or could it be?
It's very hard to see what the message is.
And just this week, along with this announcement, A vaccine against drug addiction?
The Holy Grail?
Yep, there you go.
It seems the Addiction Technology Transfer Network presented in Ciudad Juarez, the Mexican Health Secretary Solomon Chertorivisky, whatever, that it looks like they have a vaccine for heroin addiction.
Which, of course, can't be a vaccine.
It's an injectable.
And I'm thinking, these guys are doing it really smartly.
So you take away the...
You change the pill so you can't inject it.
You ramp up the heroin coming in from Afghanistan.
And you put a little fishy out there, a little carrot that says, but hang in there.
How about this?
So you have this vaccine, or this actually should be called a preventable.
Like a lunchable.
Lunchables.
You have this vaccine that prevents...
How does it work?
How does it prevent addiction to OxyContin?
Well, probably because it gets you high.
The reason I ask is because what happens if you get into a bad car accident and you're prescribed OxyContin after having the vaccine a year or two earlier?
It won't help.
Do you mean you're going to die or what does it mean?
Of pain, maybe.
Because what is the...
What does it do to you?
Does it make it so this stuff doesn't work?
Does it make sure you can't be addicted to it but you can still take it?
Which doesn't make any sense at all?
Because then what would be the point?
I think it's dangerous.
It sounds like the worst thing in the world.
Let me read it to you.
Some people, there's actual need for morphine under certain highly painful situations.
So now you got injected with some crazy crap that now you can't take the pain medication.
Well, here's the report.
You can't take a cough syrup.
The vaccine triggers an immune response that stops heroin entering the brain and stimulating the opioid receptors, stopping the, quote, rush of the drug.
The vaccine will not be the solution to all addictions, but it is one way to confront the problem above all in the treatment field.
It is hoped that the vaccinated person will have a lower desire to consume the drug because the dose of the vaccine will block the pleasure of taking it.
Well, I think you're right.
I think that's a very good point.
This is not smart at all.
Because if you actually need morphine or oxy, it won't work.
That's a good point.
Yeah, then what do you got to do?
Overdose on aspirin, which doesn't work in these situations?
No, this doesn't sound like a good thing.
No one's asked this question.
You know what that is, John?
You know what that is?
That's a great question.
That is a great question.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what constitutes a great question.
So, although we'll never say that again.
So you ever know about this Davis report?
Have you been following this at all?
No.
The military, the guy who blew the whistle on the Afghanistan thing and he's now in trouble.
He's actually in the army and he wrote this big report for some military journal and it leaked out and the Rolling Stone ran with it.
Oh, it was a huge report.
It was like 90 pages or something.
Yeah, I read the report.
Here's the intro to it on the Davis military Afghanistan document.
We turn now to what Rolling Stone magazine calls the Afghanistan report the Pentagon doesn't want you to read.
It's called The Dereliction of Duty 2, Senior Military Leaders' Loss of Integrity Wounds Afghan War Effort.
And it was written by Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, who returned in October from his second year-long deployment in Afghanistan.
In the report's opening lines, Davis writes, quote, Senior ranking U.S. military leaders have so distorted the truth when communicating with the U.S. Congress and American people in regards to conditions on the ground in Afghanistan that the truth has become unrecognizable.
Part of the report was published in the Armed Forces Journal in an article called Truth Lies in Afghanistan.
In an interview on the Aliona show, Davis explained what motivated him.
The job that I had there required me to travel all over the country and to talk to soldiers at every level, from the highest commander to the lowest 19-year-old private.
And what I saw out there, over time especially, began to be clear, was so different than what the public assertions are that I started to have some moral problems with it.
Turned into something more when I started seeing the results of men dying as a result of this in missions that made no sense and were then later characterized as big successes, but in fact they were not.
And later in the summer, a couple of guys in particular that I had met were killed in action a couple of weeks later, and that drives it home pretty strong.
So how long does this guy have to live?
Well, he's still in the Army, so they think that some bad things could happen to him.
He could get court-martialed, maybe.
But it was unclassified, the main document.
He has a classified document they're trying to get a hold of, which he also wrote that no one's seen.
But this guy's going around moaning and groaning.
And this has gotten so little play.
I mean, all this other stuff that Rolling Stones magazines come out with, you know, all these different, you know, the Crystal and all the rest of these things...
This is, I think, if I hadn't have been listening to obscure news reports, I would have never found this.
Have you read the report?
Because I actually started reading it, and I went, ugh.
And I was just like, well, the thing is, is like...
If you can't read it, then nobody can read it.
Yeah, you know what the problem is?
Is it just like, there's nothing new in there.
No, that's true.
And that's probably one of the reasons it's not getting any attention.
But it does bring home the same point, which is this thing is bogus.
And we've got a president who's going to keep us there.
And now there's backroom talk.
I've watched at least a couple of these left-wing operations go on about, well, Obama promises that after he gets re-elected that he's going to do what he was going to do the first time.
And we have to take his word for it.
He's going to.
That's what he says.
Yeah.
It's like, how dumb are these people?
How dumb are we?
That's really the question, my friend.
How dumb are we?
So, okay.
Well, everything's quiet out in Greece.
I guess Monday is when they say they're going to pull the trigger.
How long is this going to go on?
I think since we began the show, the Greeks were supposed to do this or that.
March 23rd.
And now everyone's talking about this document.
And it appears to be orchestrated by the Federal Reserve.
And by the Treasury, little Timmy Geithner.
And from what I'm reading, and I'm going from John Ward stuff, the slog, it appears that all the American banks are preparing for this.
And I don't think Greece will actually leave the Eurozone.
It's just going to be a default.
And they're not going to go back to the drachma.
And it appears from the Leviathan sources, and I thought it's amazing how many people are popping up and giving me information, that it's still, the problem is whether, as a part of the austerity measures, they're going to sell the, where is it here?
I got it.
Whether they're going to sell the gas company, DEPA, and the energy company, DESFA, together or separate entities.
You get more money by separating them, I think.
Now, what would happen if the Russians came in and decided to buy that?
I think the Russians might just do that.
I think Gazprom is a real contender for this.
Yeah.
Well, this is what's really going on behind the scenes is the battle between Gazprom, I'm sure BP is in the race, Chevron, Unical.
I mean, all the big boys.
Shell, for sure.
So who do you think?
Who do you think is going to run away with it?
I think Gazprom would be the one.
If I was going to bet on it as a horse race, I'd bet on Gazprom.
I think there's a lot of the politicking going on keeps pointing me to look at the Russians.
This would be a joint venture.
It might be a joint venture that a bunch of guys get in on.
That'll resolve a lot of it.
It's all pretty expensive, though, all this stuff.
It's not really easy to do all this.
These companies have got billions and billions of dollars.
Maybe Apple will buy them.
They got the most money in the bank.
Didn't you tell me a theory about that the other day, about Apple?
I know.
No, Apple's going to become a bank.
Someone else told me that.
I like that theory a lot.
Apple has now, what, $100 billion almost?
Yeah.
So why don't they just become a bank?
Why not?
Yeah, they already got your credit card and your address book.
That's their exit strategy.
Just becoming a bank.
No, I think it's totally possible.
And by the way, if you think Apple is not evil in this whole address book thing, you're crazy.
Apple is absolutely evil.
They're putting all your shit together.
They've got your credit card.
Thank you very much for buying that stupid 99 cent Rihanna song.
And they're selling all that information.
I mean, I'm so close to going all Linux.
I am.
There's like two pieces of software that doesn't run on Linux yet.
And if I can get that, I'm out.
I would probably take that approach if Adobe ever put its editing suite on Linux.
I think it would be all over for everybody.
But aren't there enough open source programs that do exactly the same?
No, they don't come close.
It's a joke.
What do you use Adobe for other than to read PDFs?
You actually create PDFs?
What do you need that for?
Yeah, I create PDFs.
Well, you need it if you're going to publish a book.
You have to create PDFs.
I mean, you have to do it with Adobe software.
You can't do it with any of these clone softwares because none of these publishing or printing shops will take it.
They say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Look, you're going to be doing this.
You do it right.
You do use the Adobe product because that's what we're standardized on.
And I also use Illustrator all the time and I'm always on Photoshop and I use some of the advanced features.
I can't use the GIMP. Hey man, I love the GIMP. The GIMP is rocking.
Please.
But that's not all you do.
The bulk of what you do is email and surfing the web and stuff like that.
I could use Linux for that.
It's not a problem.
But if I want to up the ante and actually do some serious computing...
Well, yeah, that's their bread and butter then.
That makes sense, but I'm sure eventually we'll get there.
We'll have to because I don't know about this.
I mean, I haven't upgraded to Lion.
I refuse.
And next it's going to be Mountain Bird.
Mountain Dew.
Mountain Dew.
OSX Mountain Dew.
Oh, it's going to be just like your iPhone.
Well, thanks.
That's not what I'm looking for.
That's not a great idea.
I don't want it to be like my iPhone.
No, I was looking at Windows 8, I have it on a machine running, and it's like, this has got a bunch of the Windows phone crap on it, with these stupid tiles.
Nah.
Well, you could always run it in a virtual machine, I guess, if you want to, if you need it.
Right.
Well, you mean Linux and then run all this other stuff in a virtual machine?
Yeah, people actually do that.
I might consider that.
I actually was successful.
I got Ubuntu to run on my MacBook Air.
But then there's just one piece of software and I can't get it to run in Wine or whatever that is.
I don't know if there's another way to do it.
Because the software I use also runs on Windows.
I just can't get it to run right.
But otherwise, I'd be out.
I really would.
I'd be so out.
Sick and tired of this crap.
And people will figure it out, by the way.
You'll figure it out that it wasn't such a good deal.
All that free stuff.
Tech press sucks balls, dude.
Seriously.
What do you expect?
It's been balkanized and there's all these kids that don't have any experience?
What are you going to say?
I don't know how we got on this, but it's worth discussing.
Two things that are very disturbing.
One is...
That all these companies, all this internet advertising, it's all bull crap.
Your machine is compromised, filled with flash cookies, super cookies, and they're selling all your information.
And now it's just gotten to the point where it's not so cool anymore.
And Twitter takes your address book, and if you hash it, that's one thing.
If you ask me, that's another thing.
But it's just not cool.
It's just not okay, and people are going to start figuring out that this is...
Wait a minute.
Mickey and I changed our...
I still have a Facebook account, and I use it only to terrorize my daughter's friends and call them fags, which is hilarious.
You're terrible.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, just say, hey.
That's a strike zone for these kids.
Yeah, and then my daughter thinks it's the funniest thing ever.
So, of course, she's like, oh, you've got to change your status to engage.
You've got to change your status to engage.
Dude, Mickey and I both have like, now there's like emails, banners, everything.
Oh, wedding rings, wedding planners.
It's like all this stuff comes in all of a sudden.
Oh, spam.
You've been spam.
Totally, totally.
So the minute we changed our status.
So in other words, you changed your status and you got spammed to death.
Yes.
Wow, that's terrible.
So Mickey said, what if you change your status to dead?
What do you get then?
And I don't think there is a status for dead, but they should have it.
That's a great status.
They should have just status dead.
I think if you die, someone should be able to set your status to dead.
That'd be good.
Status dead.
What was the other point I was going to make?
The other point I was going to make.
Is that the educational system, which is already a piece of crap, do you know that all of these universities, they're now sponsoring, like, you know, the whole idea is come to our college.
Harvard's doing this too, by the way.
Come to our college and you can be the next Zuckerberg.
And then you have just tens of millions of dollars going into these incubators.
And kids are learning nothing, but it's the same as trying to become David Beckham.
And they're learning nothing.
They're dropping out, they're joining these incubators, and they might come up with an interesting product, and then boom, they won't get any money.
You're not going to be Mark Zuckerberg.
You're going to get robbed.
The whole thing is a big-ass scam.
Don't go to college at all, I say.
Become a bum like me.
Well, if you're going to go to college, go to college to learn something other than what they did.
Bullcrap Mark Zuckerberg was a dropout.
Yeah.
You know, this is not a life.
No.
I wouldn't mind having some of that dough, but, you know.
You seem to be a happy-go-lucky guy.
I do officially call myself a bum.
This is my fiancé.
What do you do?
I'm a bum.
No, what do you do?
I read legislation as a hobby.
I read legislation.
You know what a guy said to me the other day?
He said, well, you know, you could work at a lobbyist firm.
I said, yeah.
They need people who are into that.
I said, okay.
Yeah, you probably could.
Keep your eye on the kingdom and not on the jewels that lay before it, my friends.
That is my wisdom of the day.
It would be so much fun to work for a lobbying company.
I'd make some real money.
Well, yeah, I'd do that, but it's got to be an unhappy existence.
Anyway, we'll continue to keep our eye on the evil and keep fighting it for you and bring you all the stupidity that's out there and the real news that you can actually use to get laid at cocktail parties.
Here at Camp MoFo in the Drone Star State, the capital of it being Austin.
In the morning, everybody, my name's Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where, yes, I did listen to the Doodle Bops once, I'm John C. DeVore.
We'll be back on Thursday once again for you.
Please join us on No Agenda.
And a reminder, we've got the No Agenda Producer update next on the screen in the morning.
