	Hey, got dudes hung like a horse.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, May 27, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination.
	This is episode 412.
	This is no agenda.
	Cranking up your Tier 3 news source here at Camp Bofo, in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it is a holiday, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Give me a little volume there, man.
	You came in low.
	I'm at the level I'm always at.
	Well, not on this end.
	Don't turn me up.
	I am going to.
	Call Microsoft.
	Tell them to fix it.
	What have they got to do with it?
	Don't they own Skype now?
	I don't think there's Skype.
	I think you just have me potted down, as it were.
	No, I do not have you potted down.
	It's whatever it is.
	Well, John, since you have no executive producers today, people are going to get what they pay for.
	Do we get to do more real news?
	Yes, and let's start off with the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, ladies and gentlemen.
	The winner from Sweden with the worst possible song you can imagine.
	This is Laurie...
	With euphoria!
	Have you seen the video yet?
	Yeah.
	Hi, you don't know what you're missing.
	Well, let me go look.
	Please.
	Not worth it.
	Well, at least I want to see what this woman looks like.
	Nah, she's kind of like a witch.
	Just listen to this song.
	It's like GX2 kicks this ass anytime.
	This is like, you know, everyone who was voting...
	Very good.
	What's that?
	She's not an attractive person.
	No.
	But listen to the song.
	It's like an Ibiza hit.
	Woo!
	Party!
	Glow sticks!
	Somehow she outdistanced Russia and Serbia, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
	Yes, somehow.
	How is it possible?
	So we do this every year, because I like doing it, because it's so stupid.
	You like it because I think you actually enjoy it.
	Oh, I enjoy it as a guilty passion.
	What's always fun is to, if you can...
	I'm just baffled by the fact that this is not exploited in the United States.
	It's not as if it would get the big ratings of American Idol, but it's just a classic one of these shows that would get attention.
	Well, the music is so bad...
	It really is.
	You have to understand, from the fun perspective of watching this, and I've witnessed this from two countries, from the Netherlands, where the Netherlands always thinks they've got something good, and it sucks balls.
	It's so horrible what the Netherlands always sends.
	And then the United Kingdom, it really started with Terry Wogan.
	Because, you know, you have the show, but then you have the local announcers for each country, kind of like a sporting event.
	They sit there and they talk over what's going on.
	So, you know, they're in their little booths.
	Because the United Kingdom, I think they won...
	Once, I think, with Brotherhood of Man, save your kisses for me, and why do I know this?
	But then they're always at the bottom, like always completely at the bottom.
	And Terry Wogan would make jokes about the political nature.
	You know, Cyprus always votes 12 points for Greece.
	Greece always votes 12 points for Cyprus.
	It's always like this, you know, it's a political thing.
	And again, and now Graham Norton has taken over, who's very funny.
	And they sent Engelbert Humperdinck in the last-ditch effort to really try and do something.
	He came in one above the bottom spot.
	Engelbert Humperdinck!
	Almost in last place.
	But the thing is that the Eurovision Song Contest is supposed to be about the song.
	It is also not just about Europe.
	It is about the European Union of Broadcasters, which can include more than just countries in Europe.
	Now, of course, the irony of the word euro is that Sweden won.
	Sweden doesn't even use the euro.
	That's just irony right there.
	That is quite funny.
	But listen to the NPR report and then think about what you should be doing.
	Oh, they actually did a report on this?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	But now the reporter.
	They would.
	Is not only a reporter.
	Well, the EU, I mean, the European Broadcasters Union is meant to popularize and to promote public broadcasting.
	So NPR or PBS actually could easily be on board with this.
	Yeah.
	But it's a very expensive proposition, particularly if you're the country that wins.
	So, you know, Spain was like, please don't win, don't win.
	We can't afford to host this thing.
	Right, that was a good one.
	We can't afford to host it.
	Please, don't, no, please suck.
	Don't win.
	So this is your national treasure.
	And listen to the factual incorrectness of this report just to show that, you know, if you're giving money to them, you need to turn off your podcast right now and go shoot yourself or donate to this program.
	Here's how dumb and uninformed NPR is about this event, which has been going on for 40 years, I think.
	It's well known.
	It's well known how this works.
	This is a week when Europeans...
	Stop!
	Wrong!
	It's wrong!
	It's not Europeans!
	It's not just Europe.
	Israel participates.
	Is that a European country?
	Idiot!
	...can forget about the debt crisis and politics for a moment and throw themselves into rooting for their home country.
	This is like, like, who wrote this?
	Who did this report?
	This is NPR. Somebody who can't use Google.
	Eurovision 2012 is underway.
	About a half a billion viewers are expected to tune in for the finale on Saturday.
	The song contest began in the 1950s.
	Notice she's saying song contest, right?
	It's always been about the song.
	50s, and each country that's competing is represented by a single singing group or artist.
	Eurovision is being staged this year in Baku, Azerbaijan.
	And that's where we reached William Lee Adams.
	He's a writer for Time magazine and also editor-in-chief of weweblogs.com.
	That's a site dedicated to covering the Eurovision contest.
	Okay, so this is the guy who's the authority.
	They've gone to the authority.
	Not only does he write a blog that is the authority all about the Eurovision Song Contest, but he also writes for Time Magazine, and he's a reporter for NPR. And we reached him at his hotel in Baku.
	Welcome.
	This song itself is kind of appalling, but Eurovision isn't about the best song.
	It's about the best act.
	How can it be?
	What is this guy hanging out in Azerbaijan for?
	Well, he's getting paid by NPR to report, and the first thing he says, this isn't about the best song, it's about the best act.
	No, it's not, you douchebag.
	Let me just douche him.
	Douchebag!
	I mean, this is elemental stuff.
	Anyway.
	Good morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water.
	Rubbers on the road.
	That's right.
	All the human resources in the chatroom, noagentastream.com, noagentachat.net.
	Good to see you all here on this Memorial Day weekend.
	Nobody's listening to this show today.
	Well, not in a Gitmo Nation, United States of Gitmo Nation, probably not.
	Well, that's 80% of our audience.
	That's not 80%.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's 83%.
	What are you talking about?
	No, it's 83% of our audience.
	Well, I cherish the 17 remaining percent.
	I like the other percentage too, but I didn't see them pony up for today's show.
	Nobody gives a crap about these holiday shows.
	That's what I've been saying for four years, but you insist on doing them.
	So you're saying we just shouldn't do it at all?
	On a holiday like this?
	Yeah.
	We would bring in the same amount of no money.
	Nobody's going to donate to become an executive producer on a show that they're not going to listen to.
	Because they're on the road.
	They're driving around.
	They're jumping in the pool.
	They're in a boat.
	Barbecuing.
	They're barbecuing.
	They're doing something other than listening to the show.
	So they're not going to hear themselves get mentioned as an executive producer.
	So why...
	Would they do it?
	They would do it maybe in a week or so when they'll be listening to the show.
	Nobody listens to the show.
	I wish I could get actual numbers.
	This is the problem with the internet and podcasts.
	Your numbers are always a little, you never know what they really are.
	It's not like, well, you don't really know what they are on TV either, but it convinces that they do.
	But the point is that we have a sparse audience.
	It's probably half of what it normally is.
	Now we've got about half as much money as we normally do.
	You know, we could always just use a couple of the illegal words.
	Maybe we'll get the Department of Homeland Security to listen to us.
	I'm sure you heard about this, the analyst's desktop binder.
	Actually, is this new?
	Yeah, it is new.
	Is it real new?
	Because I knew that this was going on for a while.
	Yeah, so now I have the PDF. This is the Department of Homeland Security National Operations Center Media Monitoring Capability Desktop Preference Binder.
	And this was obtained under Freedom of Information Act request.
	And so we know that the Department of Homeland Security is now monitoring...
	Social networks, news channels, just basically monitoring everything and compiling reports to send back to home base so we can get a temperature of the threat of terrorism and stuff like that.
	And so there's a published report now that has a number of things.
	I mean, the reporting was like, oh, there's hundreds of words.
	If you use those words, you'll get a call from the Department of Homeland Security.
	So I'm like, why don't I just read the entire desktop binder so you don't have to?
	What this is about is items of interest, so-called IOIs.
	An item of interest.
	And so they have different levels of things that are interesting to them.
	Top of the list, of course, terrorism.
	What?
	Including media reports.
	So if you have a media report about the activities of terrorist organizations, then they will capture that and report that back to home base.
	Reports about nuclear.
	There's about 14 of them.
	Cybersecurity, interestingly, at the bottom of the list.
	And let me just bring up here.
	I'm still not getting this.
	If I say the word terrorist, or I say a terrorist was discovered, I blog it, I'm in a report now?
	Well, not necessarily, because under Section 2.6, they have credible sources for corroboration.
	And this is what's interesting.
	What does that mean?
	I'm going to explain.
	So, a first-tier source...
	So they don't just monitor social networks, they monitor all media.
	A first-tier source is one that does not typically need corroboration prior to release.
	So that means...
	They hear something on a first-tier news source, and they don't have to go and check it.
	They don't have to vet it.
	Because sources that construct the first-tier platform include major news networks, such as CNN and Fox, major newspapers, USA Today, The Washington Post, and international news, such as BBC and the International Herald Tribune.
	Here it says, these sources do not need additional corroboration prior to release.
	So what do you mean, prior to release?
	What does this mean, prior to release?
	What's being released?
	The dogs?
	The internal reports.
	The internal reporting to Department of Homeland Security.
	So if the BBC says something, then it gets released immediately?
	Yes.
	Then it gets released back to home base, and they'll say, yeah, BBC's reporting on this, and they don't have to corroborate it.
	So that, of course, is bullcrap, because we know that...
	Oh, I got a BBC report today that is total bullcrap.
	These reports coming out of Syria.
	Well, we don't know if this video means anything, but...
	It doesn't matter.
	That will go straight into the Department of Homeland Security.
	Now, what's interesting, John...
	Blogs, podcasts, even if they are of a serious political nature, are a third tier.
	That's us.
	That's where tier three must be verified.
	You can say whatever you want.
	It's even better, though.
	Must be verified by a first-tier source prior to release.
	So whatever we say, unless CNN says, yeah, that's how it's going down, then it doesn't count.
	So you're right.
	Now, you want to know some of these words?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay, alphabetical order.
	I'll just pick a couple categories.
	Domestic security.
	The words assassination, attack, domestic security, drill, exercise, cops, law enforcement.
	Cops.
	Cops.
	You can't say cops.
	You can't say cops.
	Shots fired.
	Shots fired.
	Organized crime, gangs, national security, breach, threat, standoff, SWAT, screening.
	Now for southwest border violence, words that are going to be tracked are words like gang, drug, narcotics, El Paso.
	Don't say El Paso.
	Terrorism words.
	AQAP, AQIM, TTP. My goodness.
	Let's AQIM. Wait, Al-Qaeda in Michigan.
	Exactly.
	Islamic Maghreb.
	TTP. Tariq i Taliban.
	Pakistan.
	Somalia, Nigeria, radicals, al-Shabaab, homegrown, nationalist, fundamentalist, Islamist.
	So somebody's writing about homegrown weed, it gets tagged.
	Yeah, but it won't get sent to home base unless CNN reports.
	But here's the cool stuff.
	Effective January 7, 2011, there's a privacy impact assessment allowing the media monitoring capability to collect and disseminate PII for certain narrowly tarred categories.
	There are certain things they will never report on.
	So the things they definitely report on and people, U.S. and foreign individuals, senior U.S. and foreign government officials who make public statements, U.S. and foreign government spokespersons, names of anchors, newscasters, or on-scene reporters who are known or identified as reporters in their post or article or who use traditional and or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed, i.e.
	Randy Corvin, But then the people they will never report on, not approve.
	We will not report on individuals suspected or accused of committing crimes of national or homeland security interest if captured.
	So if they capture you, then there's no report sent out.
	We will not report on private citizens if they are a witness...
	Or in some other way connected to an event.
	And we will never report on high-profile people such as celebrities, sports figures, or media members.
	What?
	Because they're in on the game, apparently.
	Well, Clooney is, but...
	High-profile celebrities and sports figures won't get reported on if they say, like, terrorism.
	I guess they're vetted.
	They're good to go.
	Okay, well, I don't know.
	It seems like just another bureaucratic memo written by someone who didn't have anything to do that day, and his boss was hounding him to get some work done and fill out his logs, because the logs are pretty sparse, and he hasn't been doing much, and the $225,000 they're paying him, so he sat down and wrote this up.
	Even better, he made screenshots to show you how to enter your information into the log.
	That was the next day.
	On their system, yeah.
	He did that the rest of the week.
	All right, tell me about your bullcrap report from the BBC on Syria.
	Well, let's see.
	Well, you caught me off guard, thank you.
	Well, you brought it up.
	Yeah, but I didn't know we were going to go right in.
	Let me just go to my account and get the list of...
	That's weird.
	I got a lot of your clips double here.
	Interesting.
	No, really?
	Yeah, it's alright.
	I'll just take out the doubles.
	I know how to drag stuff.
	Because I just did it.
	I mean, I essentially just...
	It's okay.
	I know how to drag stuff to the trash.
	Okay, yeah, there's a little can.
	And sometimes it's a good idea to empty the trash.
	Oh, really?
	How do you do that?
	You right-click.
	Oh, you can't do that with a Mac.
	I'm so pussy-whipped, Mickey makes me empty her trash.
	Really?
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, I show no doubles here.
	That's all right.
	All right, we're good.
	I have Muddy's BBC report.
	Okay, I got, let's see, what do we got?
	We got the muddy BBC report.
	Yeah, this is the classic one here, this muddy BBC. You have to, this is, the audio is not as good as the video.
	They show this, one of these phony baloney, you know, unverified reports, and they talk about it, but it's a guy, some guy screaming into his camera.
	He's like one of these guys on the YouTube that is, you know, trying to make a point by getting real close to a webcam and screaming at you.
	So he's screaming at you, and then they show it, then it's all jerky, and then it's black, and then you can't see shit.
	Hello again.
	Opposition activists in Syria say more than 50 people have been killed and 100 wounded in what they describe as a massacre carried out by the army in Homs province.
	Videos which have not been verified show many children among the dead after shelling in the town of Hule.
	The BBC's Middle East correspondent, Jim Muir, has this report from Beirut.
	Unverifiable video posted on the internet by activists showed the blood-stained and mangled bodies of many children huddled on the floor in the dark, with the commentator shouting that there were too many to count and more kept arriving.
	Too many to count and more were counted.
	Well, this whole Syria thing is heating up because Ban Ki-moon, the director, secretary general of the United Nations, Came out, and I couldn't get any audio of it, but he came out and said, Oh boy, here we go.
	Very alarmingly and surprisingly, he's so surprised, a few days ago there was a huge, serious, massive terrorist attack.
	I believe that there must be Al-Qaeda behind it!
	So now they've changed the narrative.
	Because, you know, the whole Syrian opposition coalition fell apart.
	The main guy left.
	Yeah, they gave up.
	Yeah, there is no opposition, yet somehow fighting continues.
	So now it's like, oh crap, we don't have any guys to talk to.
	We don't have any dudes to elect.
	What are we going to do?
	And someone came up with the brilliant idea.
	I know.
	Al-Qaeda.
	Yeah, that'll give us a reason to go in.
	And the BBC's, but the BBC's noticing the irony here.
	I got another report, which is the Al-Qaeda in Syria one, which I want to run this and I have to make a comment about it because it was quite a funny clip.
	Okay.
	Support that.
	So does Al-Qaeda.
	Ironically, they're on the same side in Syria.
	Western governments worry if they intervene in this, will the wrong people benefit?
	The Nusra Front emerged with an internet video earlier this year.
	They say they're jihadis back from other wars to fight in Syria.
	We don't know if this video is genuine, but some believe this is the future in Syria.
	The numbers were quite small at the beginning, but they have grown in this time.
	The hard element of the opposition, the armed, the combat experienced people who come up from either Libya or Iraq, not only are at the vanguard, but they are actually pushing out all other forms of opposition.
	The regime says that this is the result.
	They blame bombings in Damascus on Islamists, though the Nusra Front deny they did this.
	Some Syrians did go to Iraq to fight.
	Did they come back with Al-Qaeda's ideology?
	Not good.
	Abu Layla fought in Iraq.
	He says he was defending his tribe, which is found in both countries.
	Despite appearances, he doesn't like al-Qaeda.
	He fears them.
	And he says he doesn't believe they are behind the recent bombings.
	This lie has been used over and over by the regime, he says.
	I wish they'd come up with something new.
	The regime lies all the time.
	They even lie about the weather.
	The bombings are done by the regime.
	Many fighters are deeply pious, but there's a moderate tradition of Islam here, at odds with al-Qaeda's harsh ideology.
	The daily suicide attacks and beheadings so familiar from Iraq have not yet come to Syria.
	It's coming!
	That'll be the sequel.
	That's what they're saying.
	The sequel.
	You know, before you say something, John...
	Say something.
	In listening to that report, what I find so great is they edit it, and whenever there's a little pause, they always do an explosion.
	Yeah.
	So I think we should just do that from time to time, just because it kind of catches your attention and makes you feel like, oh, wow, something's going on.
	So let's talk about this clip for a second.
	John...
	So this guy, this guy at the end that was talking, who supposedly is a tribesman, he went to Iraq because his tribe also apparently is in Syria and Iraq.
	Iraq.
	Iraq.
	And the tribe is in both places.
	The guy, meanwhile, for this tribesman that he claims to be, is wearing a Saudi headdress.
	Yeah.
	Specifically Saudi.
	It's the red one, you know, the red and white checkers, which is very specifically Saudi.
	And they showed him shooting a gun, I guess, you know...
	Like that.
	Meanwhile, this gun had about a one-foot kick.
	I swear.
	Really?
	I don't know what it was.
	Cool.
	But he had it up against his eye on the scope thing, and the thing kicks and busts it right in the head.
	And it's got a black eye, basically.
	Really?
	What a bonehead.
	What a bonehead.
	He didn't know what he was doing.
	It was a shill.
	So he was from Iran.
	Iran.
	Yeah.
	It's a stretch.
	I know it's a stretch.
	It's a stretch.
	I tried.
	I got it, though.
	Yeah.
	I'm always looking.
	Well, you know, all of this is about to change dramatically.
	And by the way, they showed this Nusfra group I never heard of, some new group they've introduced, and they had this video of them dancing.
	They were dancing to that music, and the guy said, this is the future of Syria.
	So, this is about to change dramatically.
	There's a new group on the scene, John.
	New group on the scene.
	And I picked this up via the YouTube blog...
	And here it is.
	A new human rights channel on YouTube.
	I'll give you a little excerpt here from the blog post.
	From its inception, YouTube has been a platform for free expression.
	Yeah, and cat videos.
	Activists around the world use YouTube to document causes they care about and make them known to the world.
	In the case of human rights, which we'll be talking about later on this show...
	Video plays a particularly important role in illuminating what occurs when governments and individuals in power use their positions.
	I can smell Lucifer's drippings all over this.
	That's why our non-profit partner Witness, a global leader in the use of video for human rights, and Storyful, a social news gathering operation, are joining forces to launch a new human rights channel on YouTube.
	Dedicated to curating hours of raw citizen video documenting human rights stories that are uploaded daily and distributing that to audiences hungry to learn and take action.
	So, I'm like, okay.
	You need a machine gun in there, too.
	Yeah, I'll get one.
	So this, of course, has the hoof prints of Hillary on it.
	So if you go to Storyful, and Storyful is storyful.com, S-T-O-R-Y-F-U-L.com, very sparse information.
	Of course, it's a non-profit based in Ireland and has absolutely no information about their non-profit status on their website.
	Storyful's team of professional journalists.
	Oh, what?
	Professional journalists?
	Separate actionable news from the noise of the real-time web.
	Ah, okay.
	These are the Randy Corvins that we have now.
	What is his name?
	Andy?
	Randy?
	Andy.
	We work with professional news clients acting as a social media field producer.
	Oh, they're freelancers.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're freelance video guys.
	The worst.
	That's the worst job in the world.
	But now the real organization that is paying these guys is Witness.
	Oh, shoot.
	There we go.
	Sorry.
	What'd you do?
	My mouse got stuck.
	Here we go.
	Where are we putting it?
	Heyo!
	Witness.org.
	This is also...
	Now, they do have...
	They're a 501c3 corporation, so they don't have to mention their donors.
	They do have a list of all their donors in the form 990.
	They have like 13 donors.
	They brought in $3 million in 2010.
	They do not have their 2011 numbers up yet.
	$13 million?
	$3 million in 2010.
	So they don't have their 2011 numbers up.
	But this comes from 10 individuals who are not named, each donating about $100,000.
	Okay, sure.
	Witness is an international non-profit organization that uses the power of video and storytelling to open the eyes of the world to human rights abuses!
	And this is Peter Gabriel's Human Rights First Foundation and the Reebok Human Rights Foundation who started it.
	As far as I can tell, they're no longer involved.
	Yeah, they've been co-opted out.
	But look at the board of directors.
	Okay, about us.
	Oh yeah, board of directors.
	Let's see.
	Got a Goldman Sachs guy on here, International Human Rights Funders Group, which of course is a...
	This is a crappy thing.
	I can't scroll down.
	Hold on a second.
	This is JavaScript.
	They should pay a little extra money for that.
	Okay, here we go.
	So while you're looking at that...
	If it comes up...
	What they actually do, you can hire them...
	Because I saw...
	Oh, it's part of a public relations operation.
	Exactly.
	So they have something called campaigns.
	And they say, human rights organizations are increasingly interested in employing video to advance and strengthen their advocacy.
	But many groups are not equipped or experienced enough to make the most of video and other forms of media.
	Witness engages with human rights organizations, our campaign partners...
	He's still the chair.
	Sorry?
	Oh, he is?
	I didn't see that.
	Yeah, Peter Gabriel, chair, co-founder of Witness, activist and musician.
	So they have campaign partners, which is basically clients, in intensive campaign-specific relationships.
	So let's look at the list here.
	They have such incredible human rights abuses that they've reported on, such as National Council on Aging.
	This is bullcrap.
	You can just go hire these guys to go make some videos a la Coney.
	And they put it together for you.
	Yeah.
	And if you look at the YouTube channel...
	See it, film it, change it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And if you look at the YouTube channel, which is...
	What is it?
	It should be see it, say it, film it, change it.
	YouTube.com slash human rights.
	It's completely professional slick video.
	There's no raw, unedited footage.
	It's beautifully lit.
	The sound is perfect.
	Human rights, all one word?
	Yeah.
	You know, here's On the Front Line in Bahrain.
	I'll just click this one.
	That's the top one.
	Let's see.
	Front Line Defenders.
	404.
	Human Rights?
	YouTube.com slash Human Rights?
	Yeah.
	My name is Zainab Abdelhadi Al-Khawaja.
	Oh, I see what the problem is.
	What I do is I'm a pro-democracy activist, I guess is what I would call it.
	Yeah, some call it a techno-expert.
	And I come from a family with four daughters and a family of...
	It's just all professional, beautifully shot video.
	Who gives a crap about her?
	No one, but that's the point.
	They're going to kick it up a notch and you're going to see a lot more of these videos produced by this outfit.
	They're essentially just setting it up to roll it out.
	It's just a placeholder.
	Now you should explain to people what freelance video people do.
	Storyful.
	If you're watching the daily news, like your local news, every so often there'll be a report From Washington, D.C. Hi, I'm Bill such and such from your local station in Washington, D.C. The guy doesn't work for the local station.
	He's a freelancer.
	Stringer.
	Stringer is what we call him.
	Stringer.
	Yeah, well, freelancers, stringers, what they tend to, stringers, yeah, stringers, well, there's actually kind of a little difference between stringers and freelancers.
	Pure freelancers usually always have something to sell, and stringers are usually somebody you call up and say, give me a report from...
	Okay, good distinction.
	So the freelancers, they're making reports, and they're saying, all right, here, use mine, buy mine, buy mine.
	Yeah, so they essentially, they'll be at some big event at Davos.
	Yeah, right.
	And they got the truck.
	Scoble!
	Scoble!
	That's your typical freelancer right there.
	Yeah, they got a truck, usually with a satellite dish on top, and you'll see these things driving around, and they have, most of the time, you'll see it say ABC News, or it'll say K-R-O-N News.
	But if it says nothing, it's just a white truck.
	It's a white truck.
	It's a freelancer.
	It says nothing.
	Yeah.
	That's a freelancer.
	And a lot of people consider it the hardest thing in the world to do, because you have to buy all this expensive equipment.
	Many don't even have any, but they just set it up themselves as one person.
	Sometimes it's a two-man operation, generally.
	Camera and sound.
	Yeah, they set up, they got like a dummy or something they put in, they set the camera up and they go over and push the button and stand in front.
	Like News 1, Channel 1 in New York.
	Yeah, it's like hilarious.
	When you see them along the side of the road, it's like there's a camera pointing at some guy with a microphone and there's nobody else there.
	The camera's just going.
	Stop laughing, that's how I do my big book show, okay?
	It's not that funny.
	Yeah.
	You could have Mickey come in and hold the camera.
	Hold on, we're going to get the show rolling in a second.
	Let me just start the camera.
	Yeah, it's pretty lame.
	Yeah, it is.
	Of course, you know, Leo's operation, the Twitch show.
	He started that way.
	He started that way.
	Well, he still doesn't have any cameramen.
	He has 40 cameras.
	I think this is the future in some ways.
	They're small studios.
	He just has 40 cameras.
	They're everywhere.
	And so you just set them all up to begin with, and then you just, you got a guy running a switcher, and you're just switching between the cameras, but no, there's no cameraman.
	So the woman running this witness.org is Albertink Tang.
	I think she's Dutch.
	Her bio is interesting.
	Nearly two decades of experience in media and new technology.
	We could have run this outfit, John.
	Most recently, she served as Executive Vice President of Content and Strategy and Acquisition at Juiced.
	Ha ha ha ha!
	Yeah, how'd that work out?
	Does anyone remember Juiced?
	The global online video platform formed by Nicholas Zenstrom and Janus Freese, founders of Skype?
	It took me until now to remember what that was.
	You remember Juiced?
	Yeah, Juiced was going to be the next big thing.
	It was television.
	It's what it was going to be.
	TV. This is television on the web.
	Juiced.
	And we all went like, what?
	You download this thing and they had all these channels.
	It screwed up your computer.
	And it was weird because I remember when it first came out, I downloaded it and I turned it on.
	I watched like two minutes of it and I turned it off and I never went back.
	Ever.
	Remember it screwed up your computer and reset your video card to the wrong size.
	All kinds of weird stuff.
	Yeah, it's always a problem.
	Anyway, prior to that, she was the Executive VP of Business Affairs for MTV Networks International.
	This woman has, like, you know, she's, like, cool.
	She's cool.
	But she has a point to prove, because basically she failed to juiced.
	Yeah, I'll get them now.
	I'll show them who's cool.
	Awesome human rights videos.
	Yeah, this is a loser.
	I think we're going to see a lot more high quality, comparatively speaking.
	It's not as effective as that crap they show on the BBC. Jerky jerk camera.
	We can do this on the green screen, John.
	Yeah, I know you can.
	You do some screaming.
	Uncountable people here!
	We cannot see how many have actually been killed!
	Man, just slap in some video.
	I'll just have Mickey go out and just roll the camera around, a little shaky-like, on 6th Street in Austin.
	Running, running, running.
	Why don't they cut that out?
	Stop running.
	The guys are running with the camera running, and all you see is their feet.
	This is the Ministry of Truth, ladies and gentlemen.
	Have you seen that shot?
	Yeah, of course I've seen it.
	Stupid.
	Completely stupid.
	I know, I know.
	Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
	So, wow, I did do a lot of work, actually.
	And it's your fault.
	Why?
	What happened?
	Well...
	I need to know so I can plan in advance next time.
	Yeah, okay.
	So you got me started on this.
	We had an end of show clip.
	You also had a couple other clips about the eugenics and population control.
	And so just to summarize, you had a clip of a guy saying this whole population thing in China is bullcrap.
	In fact, China now desperately needs more human resources.
	The one-child-per-family policy failed, but it was already misreported, whereas if two children from a single-child family wanted to have children, they could have more than one.
	But it's failed, and they're in trouble.
	So I got kind of interested.
	Totally underreported by everyone.
	Very underreported.
	It's ridiculous.
	So I got very interested in the whole, you know, because we talk about Bill and Melinda Gates being eugenicists, basically killing people in Africa with their vaccination programs.
	And although I've read a lot of stuff over the years, I really got into it.
	And what happened was...
	We got...
	One of our producers sent us a video of a guy being interviewed about his book.
	And the book is titled Merchants of Despair.
	Link in the show notes at 412.nashownotes.com.
	The guy's name is Robert Zubrin.
	Merchants of Despair, Radical Environmentalists, and Other Merchants of Despair.
	So I've taken a few clips from that interview, and then I'll tell a little bit about the book, which of course I read for you.
	...out of resources, but we have encountered considerable danger from people who say we're running out of resources, and who say that human activities need to be constrained because there isn't enough to go around, and so someone's got to be put in control.
	This has been a threat for some time, and what I do in the book Merchants of Despair is go through the history of this movement over 200 years and show the horrendous results of their activities where they've been successful.
	So that is essentially what's in his book, is he's saying that these merchants of despair have been misusing data for, well, he goes back 200 years, to essentially justify killing people.
	And the theory goes like this.
	The theory is that we're running out of, and you'll be very interesting in this analysis because you're You're a little bit older than I am, so you'll remember some things better, certainly from the 70s.
	But the elites, which really started back with the, and it's hard to even imagine, is the Museum of Natural History in 1877, Who set up the Immigration Restriction League, which is essentially a database.
	These are the guys that eventually shut down Ellis Island.
	They believe that there was going to be a population explosion and we'd run out of resources and then the entire world would fall apart and we'd all die.
	And so they set about through a number of very interesting ways, and I have a couple of examples from the book that I want to put in front of you, to basically kill people in many other countries except the United States, but now it seems like we've kind of moved towards the United States as well.
	And in his book, the entire first third of the book analyzes the fallacy of population growth being detrimental to the amount of resources has, in fact, quite the opposite because we have a lot of very smart human quite the opposite because we have a lot of very smart human resources who are born, and we have this population, we come up with great technologies, and we are able to
	And that he believes, which is kind of crazy, but he believes that we could probably grow to $6 trillion instead of just $6 billion we, We could grow to six trillion and still be able to sustain ourselves.
	So one other clip from the interview.
	Among the ongoing programs that they have are population control programs, which involve the forced sterilization of millions of women every year.
	Where's that happening?
	Africa, South America, India, Indonesia, and that's under US pressure, and in China under their own pressure.
	So the US is pressuring Indonesia to engage in forced sterilization.
	It's a condition of getting foreign aid funds.
	In the 1960s, remnants of the pre-war eugenics movement reorganized around the slogan of population control.
	And they always fit their ideas to fit the time.
	So they said population control was necessary to win the Cold War.
	That excessive growth of population in the Third World would provide masses for the Communist World Revolution.
	And so that the U.S. should make population control part of its foreign policy.
	And in 1966, laws were passed that mandated that U.S. foreign aid funds should be linked to population control.
	The Johnson administration denied famine aid We're good to go.
	This has been horrific, and it is still going on.
	And obviously the Jews in Nazi Germany.
	So what you heard there, and what's great about this book, is one third of it at the end is all references to what he's claiming.
	And the references look pretty solid, I have to say.
	And of course, I read it on the Kindle so you can actually bop out to a lot of the online resources.
	And it does indeed appear that USAID, which of course is under control of Hillary Clinton, has been saying since the Johnson administration, oh, you want some money from us?
	Or not even money, but you want us to give our American companies money?
	So they can come and build stuff in your country.
	That's great, but you've got to force sterilize your population.
	And he spoke about India.
	The total is like 18 million women who had IUDs shoved into them, very poor sanitation environment.
	It's really quite unbelievable the things that you read.
	And of course, there's many things that we could do with the technologies that we've developed, such as nuclear technology, that are now being held back by the very same elitists who are in control and don't allow us to make ourselves sustainable, which of course plays right into their whole script of killing people in order to keep enough resources for everybody.
	In general, their desire to control everything from the top has impaired numerous technologies that could improve the environment.
	Nuclear power, for example.
	I used to work in the nuclear industry, and there was one plant that was having a certain problem which we knew exactly how to correct, but we couldn't do it.
	The NRC wouldn't let us because it meant deviating from their regulations.
	They have genetically modified crops now that can produce their own pesticides and fix their own nitrates.
	So you don't need to spray pesticides into the environment and you don't need to scatter nitrate fertilizer on the land.
	They won't let you do it.
	Look, a lot of things they say are happening, but are not problems.
	Population growth is happening.
	It's not a problem.
	The world's standard of living has gone up as population has increased.
	And not coincidentally, it means a larger market which allows people to introduce new technologies faster, a larger division of labor, a larger number of inventors coming up with new technologies.
	I mean, just think how much poorer we would be today if the world had half as many people in the 19th century as it actually did.
	You can get rid of either Thomas Edison or Louis Pasteur.
	Take your pick.
	So, he lost me a little bit on the genetic modification, but in his book he actually, I think he just got confused.
	He talks about bioengineering, which seems a little bit more plausible, where he says, you know, there's ways to combine plants together so they can create their own pesticides.
	You don't actually need any pesticides.
	You don't need Monsanto to help you out.
	You with me so far?
	Yeah, I'm listening.
	So, in this book, a couple of things really stuck out.
	The main thing is something that you'll remember, and if I say to you the words DDT, what springs to mind?
	Well, a couple of things.
	One, it was one of the greatest insecticides ever, and the other one is that it made the shells of pelicans' eggs thin.
	You nailed it.
	You nailed it.
	So DDT was actually invented in the late 1800s, but not implemented until, according to the book now, but he has all the sources, so it looks pretty valid.
	It was not really used widely until right after the end of the Second World War, Germany was...
	Wrecking Italy's infrastructure and people got all kinds of diseases, such as malaria, which of course is a huge problem now in Africa.
	And people were dying by the millions, literally.
	And what they did is they got this powder, this DDT, and they sprayed it on people.
	Within a month, the death stopped with no obvious repercussions for humans.
	Yeah, in fact, there was a San Jose State professor who was a big DDT proponent during the controversial era when they pulled it completely, although a lot of people stockpiled it.
	Okay, so...
	And he used to eat it.
	Yeah, just to prove that it was okay.
	Yeah, he would have spoons full of it.
	The guy wouldn't do it, but...
	So then a study came out, which of course was sponsored by the same elites who didn't want, who wanted population, who wanted to cull the human resources because it was being used in Africa.
	It's being used everywhere.
	It was really cheap to make, you know, once you're making it in mass quantities.
	It was the miracle, the absolute miracle.
	Then all of a sudden we got the report.
	It said it'll cause cancer, it destroys the pelican population by the thinning of the eggs, and it hurts the algae in the sea.
	And he details in his book all of the actual reports results, which really said it's not all that bad.
	In fact, you would have to have such massive quantities, and you can die from water essentially, such massive quantities for it to be harmful.
	But at this time, Kennedy had just been assassinated, Johnson had just come into the White House, and it was one of the eugenicist shills who was, I guess they then started the EPA, and he said, we've got to get rid of this, it's horrible, and against the actual recommendation of the report, overnight they stopped the use of DDT, and 100 million people died since then because of malaria.
	And the propaganda campaign was so outstanding that, you know, I tried it on Mickey last night.
	How about DDT? So it kills people.
	This is what I remember.
	DDT, a horrible pesticide.
	It kills people.
	But it's quite the opposite.
	It was, as you said, one of the greatest inventions ever.
	So he takes this all the way, and of course this originated the Club of Rome.
	We're really the guys who...
	We're all going to die by the year 2000.
	We're all going to die by the year 2000.
	We're going to be all over by the year 2000.
	It's even better than that.
	So in 1972, the Club of Rome comes out with a report, and you remember the population bomb?
	Do you remember that?
	Yeah, by Ehrlich.
	Exactly, Ehrlich.
	Who was Ehrlich's protege?
	Yeah, I think he was also on the global cooling bandwagon, which was the meme of the era from the same elitist pricks.
	We're all going to die from an ice age.
	Who was Ehrlich's protege?
	I actually should know that, but I don't.
	John Holdren, Obama's current scientific advisor.
	Oh, cool.
	He was Ehrlich's protege.
	And in 72, they came out with this report.
	We're going to have a global ice age.
	Of course, that didn't happen.
	They also said that we would run out of oil in 31 years.
	Oh, shucks.
	And it wasn't peak oil then.
	They didn't have the peak oil idea.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It was we're going to run out.
	We're going to run out.
	Exactly.
	We wouldn't have any.
	We're going to run out.
	So that was the 1972 report.
	One of the authors of that report was Jorg Rander.
	And as I'm doing my research last night, I come across a video of Jorg Rander from May 18th, from this year, who has just released a book.
	So this is the second book.
	It's called 2052, a global forecast for the next 40 years.
	So this is one of the guys who wrote that original report that said we're A, going to run out of oil.
	B, we're going to die of global cooling.
	And what do you think the results of his study in this book are, John?
	What do you think it is?
	The new book?
	Yeah.
	We're going to run out of oil and we're going to die of global warming.
	The main message of 2052 is that humanity won't make it.
	You know, we are not going to make a soft landing.
	We will basically run into an overshoot and collapse type of...
	We're all going to die!
	Let's bring out the hookers.
	I'm going to party for the next 40 years.
	Let's just snort and screw.
	These guys never give up.
	I like the fact that they have great propaganda machines and they use them to an extreme.
	And now, of course, we only have, I guess there's only three major...
	Advertising and public relations agencies.
	They've all been bought up by these three massive companies.
	So Hill and Nolten now is the same as one or another dozen companies.
	So there's only three.
	And if you look at the board of directors of these three massive companies, Omnicron for one, and WPP. Omnicon.
	Omnicon.
	Omnicon.
	What am I thinking?
	Omnicon.
	WPP, and then there's a third one.
	And then there's a fourth, smaller one.
	But they've been buying up all the advertising agencies, and one of these days we'll discuss this in more detail.
	But they've been buying up all the advertising, public relations, and research companies.
	And it's like, to me, no matter who you hire nowadays, it's a conflict of interest because somebody on the other side has obviously got a company working within the same group.
	I mean, it's just...
	I had this, let me just go just a bit aside, just a little off track here since nobody's listening anyway.
	I'm always concerned about these consolidations of all these corporations because it creates, besides corruption and conflicts of interest, it's just a bad scene.
	It just destroys markets.
	For example, Pearson Publishing, there used to be a really good business in writing computer books.
	You can make a living.
	There was companies all over the place.
	You had several bestsellers.
	I had a couple that sold well.
	But now there's one.
	It's Pearson.
	Pearson bought up Macmillan.
	They bought up Simon& Schuster.
	They bought up Peach Pit Press.
	They bought up one after they bought every company that makes computer books with the exception of maybe O'Reilly, who does this.
	You know, he's a specialist.
	And I think McGraw Hill still does some.
	But they essentially bought them all up.
	And they bought Q. And Q was the most interesting of the computer book manufacturers because they did all their books by work for hire.
	In other words, they'd bring out a book on, say, Excel spreadsheets.
	And they'd just pay some writer to do it, and then they'd bring the book out, they'd promote it to death, and then they would pay royalties.
	Oh, they wouldn't pay royalties?
	No, it would work for hire.
	It was just a straight-up deal.
	You got paid $5,000, $6,000.
	It wasn't even that much money to these poor writers, and they would get nothing.
	So you'd go, and I did this.
	I sold a book.
	You sold a book to Prentice Halls, one of their companies.
	You sell it, and here's the way it works.
	Here's the scam.
	I have an idea for a book on, you know, left-handed mice.
	And one of the book companies within the organization will buy it.
	Like, say, Prentice Hall picks it up and says, okay, we'll run with this book.
	But we don't think much of it.
	You don't expect to get a lot of money.
	And they do the book.
	And all of a sudden, I'm starting to make royalties.
	The book becomes a runaway bestseller.
	And I'm getting $10,000 a month.
	The next day, Q will bring out the same book under this, and they're still all owned by Pearson, the left-handed mouse book.
	They will push that book down the throats of the booksellers, pull my book, and they don't have to pay any more royalties.
	It's an unbelievable scam that just completely wiped out the computer book writers.
	So that's bad for the writers, but I think that the propaganda and the success of the propaganda, which started with global cooling, then they used the oil thing.
	That didn't pan out.
	Then they said, oh, we have to get rid of people because the Communist Party will adapt them.
	That was a beauty.
	But it's true, right?
	That actually happened.
	They were actually saying, oh, we have to sterilize people because otherwise...
	Now if you notice, that meme has morphed into the Muslims are going to take over the world because they're breeding like dogs and cats.
	This is non-stop.
	Now...
	Just as my own little sidetrack here to show you how the PR works.
	Headline, German solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity.
	I'm looking at this.
	This is from Reuters.
	I'm like, oh really?
	Well, let me see.
	What's behind this report?
	Of course, this was released by a guy named Alnoch, who is head of the Institute for Renewable Energy Sources in Germany.
	They have like half a website.
	Basically, they create reports on demand.
	What do you want to say?
	Solar is better than nuclear?
	No problem.
	We'll get the data.
	How do they get this data?
	energy exchange bourse.
	So it was based on futures trading, not on actual usage or production, but based on futures trading.
	So it's a complete lie.
	What?
	Yeah.
	You had the nerve to do that?
	Yeah, and Reuters picked it up with that headline.
	Oh yeah, well that's because, again, these public relations firms are powerful and they're consolidated.
	That makes it even more dangerous.
	So now let me play the four solutions.
	That the guy who was wrong 40 years ago, one of the guys, for his new book, you just heard it, we're all going to die, it's going to collapse, unless you follow the Club of Rome's recommendations.
	And he starts off, by the way, which he actually says, twice in this, he says, this is code.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	You're giving me code so I can actually decipher this code?
	So before he gets into his solutions, listen very carefully to this fourth bit about where the world is headed and what...
	And he's...
	He has a boner over it, literally.
	He's smiling.
	He's like...
	Finally, I should say that the 2052 forecast covers a multitude of additional aspects.
	This is propaganda from the publisher.
	It's propaganda from the pub.
	It's propaganda, John.
	Here comes the propaganda.
	Thank you.
	You know, we should make you aware of the fact that it's worth reading the book because it talks about the split of the EU in the 2010s.
	The split of the EU in 2020.
	Ah, that's interesting.
	It talks about how urban life will be in 2040s.
	It talks about the future by military and biodiversity of CSR and the fifth cultural step and the future role of self-programming robots, which is really the interesting end to all of this.
	Self-programming robots, which is really the interesting end to all of this.
	What?
	That's what he said.
	The end of all of this is self-pro...
	This is the transhumanization of technology.
	This is what they want.
	Then we won't need people.
	Stupid cannon fodder.
	And by the way, this stupid university over here...
	Singularity University, yeah.
	Is all in on this crap.
	It's all about this.
	It's all about this.
	And most of these guys are too dumb to realize this is what the Unabomber warned against.
	I hate to play the Unabomber card.
	So here is...
	Yeah, that's bringing...
	Unabomber, what?
	I hate to play the Unabomber card on you, but yeah, he was a Harvard mathematician.
	I just want to point that out.
	Did you see what he did on his Harvard alumni Facebook page?
	You mean what he did?
	Yeah, because they sent out...
	They let him use Facebook?
	Yeah, and then he posted status, prisoner.
	This is someone else.
	I don't know.
	It's just Harvard trying to get some press.
	So here's the four...
	Prisoner.
	Here's the four solutions to our ultimate and apparently unavoidable demise.
	What should be done?
	Four recommendations.
	And they're very obvious.
	Do you want to guess them?
	The obvious recommendations?
	Well, yeah, we've got to stop CO2 emissions.
	We have to do population control.
	We have to have global governance.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And I don't know what the...
	You're close enough.
	Let's listen.
	But they are starting to take on some stronger...
	It's important, I think, now.
	First of all, we're back to the thing that have fewer children is one of the, you know, try to further reduce the growth of the population.
	Kill people!
	Kill!
	Reduce children!
	Kill all humans!
	And of course, it's especially in the rich world where it's important.
	That's you and me, baby.
	It's in the rich world.
	We must kill people in the rich world.
	To get the number of children down.
	You know.
	Listen, he's so evil, he'll even kill his own child.
	Listen.
	My daughter has a footprint which is at least ten times as big as an Indian daughter.
	And so, you know, she's much more dangerous than...
	She's dangerous?
	Kill her!
	She's the first one to go!
	Kill her!
	Kill your daughter, douchebag!
	An Indian.
	Secondly, reduce the ecological footprint, and particularly the footprint from people like I, or rich societies like Holland, because it's the footprint of those nations that need to be lowered, because everyone is aiming to be in that situation.
	So, uh...
	Breathe less?
	This footprint thing is annoying.
	Yeah.
	That it caught on as a meme is just disgusting.
	It means basically one thing.
	Stop using fossil fuels.
	Ah!
	Stop it.
	This is your global warming.
	No, it's as simple as that.
	It's as simple as that.
	It's as simple as that.
	Thirdly, construct a modern, low-carbon energy system in the poor world, for the poor world, paid for by the rich world.
	Okay, cap and trade.
	There we go.
	And let me be the middleman taking the money from you and paying it to them, and I'll take my piece.
	Exactly.
	This is the simplest fashion of development.
	It is so simple.
	Can you not see it in front of your eyes?
	Don't even read my book.
	It is simple.
	...that we can do.
	Just start building the windmills and the solar plants.
	Just start building windmills!
	...and the gas with CCS, etc., etc., plants that is actually going to produce relatively low carbon energy for the third world.
	And finally, this is code.
	It's code!
	It's code!
	John, are you paying attention?
	He said it's code?
	Yes, he said it's code.
	I thought he said it was cold.
	Like, oh, it's cold in here.
	No, he said it's code.
	This is code, so you must pay attention to my code.
	Finally, this is code.
	Strengthen the global ability to act fast in order to accelerate the effort to improve the living conditions for our grandchildren.
	Global governance!
	Yeah.
	It's code for global governance. Order. Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	And reduce your footprint.
	And that's why you should go to Dvorak.org slash NA and help keep the show on the air because we're not going to keep it on the air if the donations are this minimal.
	We had no executive producers today.
	No.
	But again, of course, my real complaint is that we're doing the show at all, but not today.
	Okay, let me remind you again how you can help out this program so you can get this invaluable information.
	Dvorak.org So now, you know, there's many, many examples in this book.
	I think it's well done.
	It's a short read.
	Again, link in the show notes.
	I have not read his 400-page tome, but I will, so you don't have to, just because I'm sure I can pick up some great quotes from it.
	But these are the guys.
	You know, the Club of Rome, these are the guys.
	And Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, they're the ones that funded this.
	And they really, really believe, contrary to real evidence, Scientific evidence, let me say empirical evidence, that more population does not eat up all the resources.
	And, you know, they've been wrong.
	They've been continuously wrong, but they just keep going back at it.
	And this is the World Wildlife Fund.
	This is Greenpeace.
	There's all these guys who are in on the game.
	And they really believe we just got to kill people.
	And the amount of people they have killed through forced sterilization is staggering.
	Literally staggering.
	And so when you think about...
	Well, and while you're talking about that, although I just closed my thing, there is a scandal going on right now with bad malaria drug vaccinations.
	Have you heard about this?
	No.
	And it makes you really wonder why this is happening and who's behind it.
	I'm not changing the subject here.
	It's the same subject.
	Play the clip that I have.
	Making and selling fake anti-malaria drugs should be treated as crimes against humanity, say the authors of a new study into the problem.
	The researchers from the U.S. National Institute of Health found that over a third of the anti-malaria drugs available in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa are either fake or of such bad quality they can make the problem worse.
	The study links the spread of fake drugs to the spread of drug-resistant forms of malaria which have begun to spread in areas such as Cambodia and Thailand.
	For more of this, we're speaking with Dr.
	Steve Bjorge, who's head of the malaria program in Cambodia for the World Health Organization.
	That's good enough.
	He joins me now.
	So this is exactly what he details in his book, that the United States, through USAID, would buy up, and there's this douchebag, I'd have to go back to the book to find his name, but this douchebag who was running the joint, who would buy up Why
	not use DDT? The science empirical evidence is there that DDT works.
	It was a miracle.
	Well, because of the obvious reasons, they don't want to solve the problem.
	No, but this is where I, now Bill and Melinda Gates, you know, they should be in the crosshairs.
	They are eugenicists.
	They're using the same language that's been used for 200 years.
	The same exact thing.
	They may believe it, but they're incorrect, I think.
	Well, I mean, Bill, who used to show up at users' groups, is now essentially an elitist hanging out in Davos with world leaders and red carpet treatment everywhere it goes.
	There's a guy who eschewed I caught him one time in, I guess it was in the late 80s, getting out of a limo.
	And I said, you're in a limo.
	And he said, yeah, regrettably, he didn't like limos.
	He liked taking public transportation, roaming around.
	Of course, you can't do that anymore at all.
	But now he's got two limos when he goes anywhere.
	I'm glad no one's listening because you told this story on...
	Yeah, I know.
	And you're not going to haunt the horn.
	But the guys he hangs out with now, you'll never see him with the people.
	He is now an elitist.
	He's been welcomed into their ranks.
	So what I found interesting in your little clip there was the quote, this is a violation of human rights.
	And this is a pet peeve of mine, this whole human rights business and what it is.
	And I will remind people again to go check out the interview I did with the Columbia professor.
	It's in the show notes as well, 412.nashownotes.com.
	So on Friday, let me bring out her jingle.
	Hold on, where is she?
	You know what I'm talking about, obviously.
	Here she is.
	It's Clippity Club.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity Club.
	Yes, the behooved one, ladies and gentlemen.
	Lucifer Hillary Clinton with her trident and her horns.
	There was a clip I was going to get.
	I just didn't feel like it, but I was thinking about it.
	But it's a clip of John Batchelor doing a promo for a show saying, next on the next show, Hillary Clinton, the most respected female politician in Washington.
	That's kind of a contrast to the way we take it.
	No kidding.
	The way we do it.
	So people who listen to our show, you're definitely not getting the party lying.
	No.
	So she came out with...
	Well, I'll give you her announcement.
	This is the announcement of the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.
	Now, this is not a PDF you could just download.
	Hillary, stop clippity-clopping.
	This is an interactive database, so you can select a country and select the reports you want.
	This is cool.
	Where is this?
	Well, it's at state.gov.
	They may have a direct URL. It's a complicated...
	Yeah, forget it.
	Just tell us.
	The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
	So you can select the country.
	So, of course, I selected the Netherlands.
	I selected the UK. Man, the UK, they're bad.
	Oh, boy, you are violating human rights.
	So here's her intro to this report, which she's very proud of.
	I snipped out some irrelevant bits just so you can get the fun stuff.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, everyone.
	Hello.
	I'm very pleased to be joined here today by Assistant Secretary Posner to release our 2011 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.
	These reports, which the United States government has published for nearly four decades, make clear to governments around the world, we are watching and we are holding you accountable.
	We've got our eye on you!
	Yes, you know what could happen?
	We came, we saw, he died.
	Yes, we've got our eye on you.
	And they make clear to citizens and activists everywhere, you are not alone.
	We are standing with you.
	Now, as you know, this has been an especially tumultuous and momentous year for everyone involved in the cause of human rights.
	Now, notice she's going to start mixing it up.
	Many of us that have dominated recent headlines from the revolutions in the Middle East to reforms in Burma began with human rights.
	Human rights?
	With the clear call of men and women demanding their universal rights.
	Wait a minute.
	Human rights?
	Universal rights?
	Human rights?
	Hmm.
	We will support people everywhere who seek the same.
	Men and women who want to speak, worship, associate, love the way they choose.
	Ah, there's the gay meme.
	We will defend their rights, not just on the day we issue these reports, but every day.
	We're expanding access to technology and defending Internet freedom because people deserve the same rights online as off.
	Oh, these human rights must be amazing!
	And we know that in the 21st century, human rights are not only a question of civil and political liberties.
	It's about the fundamental question of whether people everywhere have the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.
	Ah, that sounds like a just-getting-by thing.
	Now, as these reports document, there is a lot of work that remains to be done.
	In too many places, governments continue to stifle their own people's aspirations.
	And in some places, like Syria, it is not just an assault.
	That's the only country she highlighted, interestingly enough.
	On freedom of expression or freedom of association, but an assault on the very lives of citizens.
	The Assad regime's brutality against its own people must and will end, because Syrians know they deserve a better future.
	Well, there's the shot across the bow.
	It's always been bewildering to me that so many government leaders don't want to make the most of the human potential of their own people.
	Sounds like she's laughing there.
	Oh yeah, she's laughing.
	She is.
	She's literally smiling throughout the whole thing.
	It's so bewildering to me.
	I would expect this to be...
	Reading material everywhere.
	But I do hope somewhere in the corner of my mind that maybe a leader will pick it up and say, how do we compare?
	Yeah, while he's pooping.
	I've got to take a crap.
	Oh, what's this?
	Oh, let me read this report here.
	How do we compare?
	With others.
	And what can we do today, tomorrow, and next year?
	That will maximize the potential of more of our citizens.
	So interestingly enough, the only country you cannot get a human rights report on is, oh yeah, the United States.
	So China came out immediately and criticized a woeful human rights record in the United States.
	Ha ha!
	The Chinese are so annoyed by us.
	And you know, there's some other elements that we're going to get into later, but like the Louisiana prison system and some of these things happening.
	By the way, the Louisiana prison system itself has nine times more prisoners than all of China.
	Exactly.
	So they said, a day after this report comes out, Which said Beijing's record is getting worse.
	Beijing said, quote, The United States' tarnished human rights record has left it in no state, whether on a moral, political, or legal basis, to act as the world's human rights justice.
	They said in their annual report on U.S. human rights, I have not been able to find a translated version, but the report cited the arrests of protesters, particularly in the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States.
	Many protesters, it said, accused the police of brutality.
	The United States also has strict restrictions on the Internet, saying the U.S. Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act both have clauses about monitoring the Internet, giving the government or law enforcement organizations power to monitor and block any Internet connection are harmful to national security.
	So I figured the best thing we could do for our show, John, Since this is bandied about, and I will remind you, the interview was with Columbia professor Samuel Moyne, his book, The Last Utopia, Human Rights in History.
	It's in the show notes, 412.nashownotes.com.
	Take a look at that, because he explains where this comes from.
	And the first written documentation of...
	Human rights was 1948 by our friends there at the United Nations.
	It is called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
	And since it's being bandied about so much, I would think that every citizen should know their human rights.
	Do you know how many universal human rights you have, John?
	Do you know how many articles there are?
	Well, let me think.
	Ten.
	No, there's 30.
	Let me guess again.
	No, I already told you.
	Oh, you did?
	There's 30.
	30?
	30.
	And I'd like to just see if you think the United States adheres to a selection of these 30.
	Should we do that?
	I'm in.
	Okay, so first, Article 1.
	All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
	They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in spirit of brotherhood.
	I think we're on board with that.
	I think in America we have...
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	That's like a fact of the matter.
	Yes.
	As opposed to a right.
	It's like saying a human right is being born and breathing.
	I mean, it's stupid.
	That's Article 1.
	That just kind of sets the tone.
	Okay.
	I'll skip to Article 4.
	No one should be held in slavery or servitude.
	Oh, that happens all...
	No.
	We violate that.
	How do we violate that?
	How do we violate that?
	Well, I think it's, I think, wage slavery.
	I think there's all kinds of different ways.
	I mean, in fact, the military is essentially a detrid servitude.
	Okay, let's go to Article 5.
	No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
	No, we violate that constantly.
	All the time.
	Article 7.
	All are equal before the law.
	Are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.
	All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation.
	And that flows into Article 8.
	Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted by the Constitution or by law.
	Well, that's a known fact that that doesn't work out.
	Article 9.
	No one should be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile.
	It happens all the time.
	Now we can drone ourselves.
	Well, this is Article 10.
	Everyone is entitled, in full equality, to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal in the determination of his rights.
	Well, they just gunned down or shot down those people in Yemen with a drone, not to mention all the people in Pakistan, so that can't be true.
	Everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law.
	Unless, of course, you're on John Brennan's list and he decides to drone you.
	Now, here's an interesting one, Article 12.
	No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence.
	Well, it can't be more arbitrary than it is.
	Yeah, ever hear of that building on 2nd Street in San Francisco?
	They're sucking up your phone and email all the time.
	Oh, Article 13.
	Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
	No, not in America.
	If you don't pay your taxes, they will take away your passport.
	Clear violation of Article 13.
	Article 16.
	Men and women of full age without any limitation due to race, nationality, or religion have the right to marry and found a family.
	I think we're in violation.
	It doesn't say only men and women can get married.
	It says men and women of full age have the right to marry and to found a family.
	Article 17.
	No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.
	Let me see.
	What happened in San Francisco?
	Did I get kicked out of my house under eminent domain?
	Yeah, you did.
	You got kicked out.
	Kicked out.
	The government said to leave.
	So they could build some...
	Bus station.
	A bus station.
	A bus station.
	Yeah, a big bus station.
	Article 19.
	Nobody goes to the old bus station, but they're going to build a big one.
	Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
	Except you can't say you're fat.
	Because that would be bullying.
	This right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media, including podcasts.
	Article 20.
	Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
	No, only in the free speech zone.
	Now here's where it gets really interesting.
	Article 22.
	Everyone as a member of society has the right to social security.
	Huh.
	Okay.
	Article 23.
	Everyone without discrimination has the right to equal pay for equal work.
	This I find egregious.
	Because it's not equal output.
	No, it's equal pay for equal work.
	You hear the difference of what I'm saying?
	Explain it to me.
	So, you may be working on the railroad, and you may be doing the same work I do, but maybe you build the track five times faster.
	You should be paid more.
	In my mind.
	In your mind, you're an elitist.
	Yes, correct.
	Everyone who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration.
	Ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity.
	What happens to all the interns?
	Yes, interns are illegal.
	Article 24.
	Here's where we come in.
	Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.
	We're working on a holiday and not getting paid.
	And screwed on Article 24.
	I've been complaining about this.
	Article 25.
	This is crazy.
	Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being of himself and his family, including...
	Food, clothing, housing, medical care, necessary social services, the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
	Wow!
	If that's a human right, then why don't I just quit right now?
	I got no job.
	It's a circumstance beyond my control.
	I can't help the economy.
	It's busted.
	It's a human rights violation for you not to pay me.
	I'm not paying you.
	Then you're violating my human rights!
	Well, I guess.
	Sounds like most of these things are in violation.
	Article 27.
	Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary, or artistic production of which he is the author.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, so you can go back to Q and sue them under Article 27 of the Universal Human Rights Declaration.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Cue.
	Slowly I turned.
	So that's just a...
	You should know these.
	I mean, if you are a citizen of the world, and if you are going to believe in your government here in the United States of Gitmo Nation, you should know these rights, and you should call them on it.
	You also have the right, by the way, this was very funny.
	Let me see if I can find it quickly here.
	Everyone, John, everyone has the right to education.
	Here's the kicker.
	Education shall be free in the elementary and fundamental stages.
	Is it free in America?
	Well, in a manner of speaking.
	Do they mean free as in money free, or free as in free as to what you can be taught?
	Oh, no, they mean money free.
	It's not free.
	I pay for that.
	I pay my taxes.
	No, that's what I'm saying, in a manner of speaking.
	If you had no money to pay insofar as taxes are concerned, you'd still get a free education.
	Well, thank goodness at least we adhere to one of the 30 articles.
	That's groovy.
	People need to understand these.
	There's no mention of LGBT rights.
	There's no mention of internet rights, except for the podcast thing.
	And the United States is clearly in violation of at least half, if not three quarters, of the agreed-to universal rights.
	So stop being such an elitist douchebag, Hillary Clinton.
	Stop it.
	And by the way, I have the human right to say that, douche.
	So we should definitely find someone who can get us that Chinese document.
	Yeah.
	Which has got to be hilarious.
	It's got to be funny, yeah.
	Because the Chinese are so annoyed by us constantly nagging them over their human rights issues when they have this huge population and they have to deal with it.
	I think there's a lot of corruption going on.
	China's got nothing but trouble going ahead.
	But we're not the ones that should be wagging our finger.
	Well, you heard her doing just that.
	We're watching you.
	We've got our eye on you.
	I'm Hillary Clinton.
	It's totally hypocritical.
	Hope you all enjoyed that little trip down to human rights lane.
	Human rights are a farce.
	Farce, I tell you.
	It's a farce.
	Watch that interview.
	You'll be astounded by how human rights has been misused to tell other countries what they should be doing, and if they don't adhere to it, to go in and kick their ass, which is exactly what we do.
	I know, we're really good at it.
	It's all we do.
	What else do we do?
	I don't know, not much.
	It's getting kind of, you know...
	So, uh...
	We can go in a couple of directions.
	We can get it.
	We can...
	Wait, wait a minute.
	First...
	First, we need to...
	Yeah, let's do the donor thing right now.
	I'm gonna show myself the mood by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	That's a good spot for that explosion.
	Jasper Holmberg in Duval, Washington, he's our number one donor this week at $123.33.
	Thank you, Jasper.
	To put forth his theory on the 33 meme, it's a reference to Executive Order 12333.
	United States intelligence activity signed by Reagan in 1981, which basically tells the CIA to go get them, boys.
	Hey, I like that number.
	Now they simply use 3-3 or 3-3-3 to sign their work.
	There is as good as any.
	I like it.
	It's great.
	Unless Executive Order 1-2-3-3-3 was referencing to something else.
	Anything is possible.
	He needs a tapu tiliya qi chika ching ching karma for an upcoming job interview.
	All right, let's rock it.
	Tapu tiliya qi ching ching.
	You've got karma. - Bye.
	I also want to thank William Ashby in Mobile, Alabama.
	$112.35.
	In the morning, tweet's best when you two are on.
	Yeah, okay.
	Adam did a great job last week, so please play the jingle announcing 33 as I saw it thrice in three days.
	Once on NPR about some Pakistani doctor who helped find Osama.
	Once on the New York Times and once in a commercial.
	Also, I had a nightmare while drunk.
	That the You Will Obey jingle was a neural programming of the Dvorak.org slash NA jingle.
	What?
	You Will Obey was a neural programming of the Dvorak.org slash NA jingle.
	Play those back-to-back sometime.
	Uh, well, first let me do the, uh...
	33, that's the magic number.
	It's the magic number.
	Okay.
	So you're going to play You Will Obey and then Dvorak.org slash NA. You want me to do that right now?
	Yeah.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	We haven't played the You Will Obey in such a long time.
	I've got to go to a different rack.
	Hold on.
	Where is it?
	Here we go.
	You Will Obey.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Now, I wonder if you played Dvorak.org slash NA first, then you will obey.
	I want to hear that.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. You will obey.
	I like that one.
	That's a good one.
	We should do that.
	I like it.
	I think he's on to something.
	He is.
	Good idea.
	Maxwell Robertson, Crown Point, Indiana is on to something with $110.20.
	Adam, it's up to you to make sure John doesn't fuck this up.
	Thanks, Maxwell.
	We'd like to get some Gitmo Nation poppy karma for the upcoming deployment.
	Oh, boy.
	He may be overseas.
	Yeah.
	We just pumped some argon into an empty bottle of Johnny Walker gold to no avail.
	What he means by that is he drank it anyway.
	Yeah.
	We have now resorted to cheap High Plains wine.
	By the way...
	Liquor, high alcohol liquor, anything A-proof or so.
	Argon doesn't mean anything one way or the other.
	It's just things that oxidize, which is wine.
	And Max just had an epic opt-out at the Chai Town Aerospace Complex.
	No cotton pads.
	Don't fear the cheeseburger, Dvorak.
	You are next.
	Give Chelsea a MILF shout-out.
	Cue it, because Scott's too scared.
	I hope some scratch-off tickets head my way so I can become a mofo knight.
	John, don't worry.
	Zuck will soon rule the world and you.
	Adam, hook it up for the multiple combat tours, folks.
	That's one mother I like.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, be careful out there, boys.
	I don't know what he's even talking about.
	They're clearly being redeployed to Afghanistan.
	Yeah, they gotta protect the puppy.
	In fact...
	Front page, today's New York Times, big, giant, above-the-fold picture of an army officer walking through a poppy field while on patrol in Afghanistan last month.
	Why don't they just come over here, pick up some cow poop, and rub it in my face?
	Because that would be less offensive.
	It's a real pretty picture.
	These poppies aren't just real red ones.
	They're kind of a very interesting hybrid.
	Pretty.
	Well, I hope our guys only have to do that.
	I understand if you walk through those poppy fields enough, you get wasted.
	U.S. efforts fail to curtail trade in Afghan opium.
	Top story in today's New York Times, Sunday Times.
	Lure of poppy profits.
	After allies exit, drugs likely to remain fuel of corruption.
	No.
	There's gambling going on over there?
	Shocking.
	Shocking.
	I tell you.
	Kerry Smock in San Diego, California, 75 bucks.
	Can you do a shout-out to my husband, Bill Smock?
	Smock, Smock!
	For his birthday, he listens to your show quite regularly, and I would like his donation to go towards his eventual night.
	You know, that is so sweet.
	That is so sweet.
	Loving wife, Kerry.
	Yes.
	Yes, loving wife.
	Send pictures.
	So he'll be on the list.
	Jesse Cruz, Highland...
	And the quarter just fell.
	Okay, dropped.
	Jesse Cruz in Highland Park, Illinois.
	And the streak continues at 69, 69 in the morning.
	John and Adam, can I get a Huntsman karma shot from my friend Erica Bunnell for a job search karma?
	And Don Vondran and Ray Caesar.
	Dan Vondran.
	I said Don?
	Yeah.
	Dan Vondran and Ray Caesar for overall karma.
	He doesn't understand this situation.
	You've got karma.
	Ray McKenzie, Moronville, Alberta.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Moronville, Alberta.
	Oh, man, of the ten people who donate, you're going to insult them?
	No, I'm not insulting him.
	You can't use the N-word, man.
	That's against my human rights.
	69.69 from Ray.
	You're violating my human rights.
	He can get 69.69 every week, and the money's still there.
	Trevor Stroop.
	Hillsboro, Oregon.
	Wine-grown country, 6969.
	Trevor Stroop likes soup.
	Adam, your twit appearance was great.
	Best twit I've heard in months.
	Also, as a fellow aviator, I appreciate your commentary whenever an aviation topic is mentioned.
	I've been listening for about two years now, and I've wanted to come in for the first time as an executive producer, but my recent angiogram drained most of my savings account.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought Obama was going to pay for all that.
	I guess not.
	Please de-douche me with a slide whistle duet background.
	Everything has turned out fine except for the frustration of dealing with the cluster fiasco that is the healthcare system.
	Please give a douchebag call to my son, Ethan.
	Ethan, douchebag.
	Douchebag.
	Who has been a listener for a while but now subscribes to Hulu Plus instead of you.
	Oh my goodness, that's horrible.
	Alright, let's get a little de-douching there.
	You've been de-douched.
	Woo!
	Ray Met, San Diego, California, 69, 69.
	Here's some cash for the cause and to prevent Adam from having a broke-ass wedding.
	You're the only news I need.
	Can I get some Huntsman...
	People are really into the Huntsman thing.
	Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	You've got karma.
	Why?
	Because?
	That's why.
	Because?
	Paul Hargett in Hayes, Kansas.
	69-67.
	Thanks to the Ozone Nightmare podcast, I've had a two-month-long boner.
	I thought about it.
	I thought it was time to contribute my first donation with a Pro Silky Smooth Slide Whistle 69 Combo Donation.
	Please give me a de-douching along with a slide whistle duet.
	Another one.
	Well, it's interesting.
	Okay.
	We're going to have to put the kibosh on that eventually.
	It's annoying me.
	John Haller in Missoula, Montana, 6057.
	You have a real kick out of Adam on Twit.
	You have much more intelligence and experience than anyone would imagine.
	Oh, you reveal on no agenda.
	What?
	That's what he said.
	You rock, he says.
	I mean...
	Wait, back up!
	What?
	He says that you are showing more intelligence on Twit than you do on this show.
	That's what he said.
	Because I understand the financial markets?
	I don't know.
	That's crazy.
	I listened to it.
	I thought it was boring.
	You need to beg, borrow, or buy.
	I missed the gun.
	That's what irks me.
	I gave up on the show about a half an hour in and then you pull the gun out.
	Did you just call me boring?
	No.
	I was just kidding.
	It was actually one of the library shows.
	You carried the show.
	Thank you.
	And I don't know what else to say.
	Scoble is on.
	You need to beg, borrow, buy a truck camper unit.
	I bought one last year and lived in it for five minutes.
	You know, you could.
	That's a possibility.
	Let me just add that we desperately need a shorter trailer or a bigger truck.
	One of the two.
	And by the way, we're leaving for the wedding in six weeks.
	And then when we come back, we need to depart on the Hot Pockets 2009 tour.
	So still desperately looking for something to hook up to Mustang Sally, the 2002 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 engine.
	What about getting a camper shell?
	Dude, you want to talk to Mickey about that?
	You want to talk to Mickey about that?
	She's expecting some kind of luxury.
	You have the truck, a used unit would be cheap, and you could auction it off to a lucky listener and recover the cost.
	It's not cheap.
	This is the thing.
	I've looked at second-hand trailers.
	No, we're talking about a camper shell.
	If you want a decent one that's not going to fall off its axle, it's thousands of dollars.
	Mickey sounds just wonderful.
	You're a lucky man, John.
	Huh?
	Oh, I love you too, John.
	Leaving El Cerrito would be good for your crankiness.
	I left Kensington and I'm much happier.
	Please send de-douching and good driving karma as I'm 5,000 miles into another 10,000 mile trip around the U.S. You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Tristan Banning in Toronto, Ontario, 51.
	Double niggles on the dime.
	Hey, guys, trying to make a donation, a regular thing, three times in about two months, and since the Canadian government gave me money, I don't know why, I figured I'd portion off a chunk of you guys.
	Must be in Calgary.
	Hey, Citizen Karma for myself, my mom, K-Ray, and my girlfriend, Holly Dunbar, all of whom listen to No Agenda.
	Thanks, and keep up the good work.
	Hey, Citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Steve Wittig in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
	Double nickels on the net with a comment.
	The moment I met you, I swear.
	Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	Brian Smith in Irvine, California.
	Home to the University of California of Irvine.
	5150.
	Sending 5150 in today to support to show you both are clearly insane.
	Your last show was awesome, but the real reason I'm sending this donation is due to Dvorak's stoner dude impersonation.
	I'm currently stoned and donating.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Well, hello.
	I'm currently stoned and donating, man.
	So feel free to read the rest of this in the stoner dude voice.
	Don't give up on Joe Rogan podcast, man.
	I know Adam's recent attempt didn't go as planned, but when the No Agenda and Joe Rogan podcast forces a line, it'll be groovy, dude.
	And can I please get a Clippity Club douchebag combo?
	Thanks, bro.
	Keep up the good work.
	Brian from Southern California.
	P.S. Regarding the slide whistles, they can be excessive at times, but I support your fundamental human right to slide whistle.
	P.P.S. And Adam, make sure John comes on the Joe Rogan podcast with you, man.
	It's just not no agenda without the both of you, and I know John would love it.
	Make it happen.
	Article 31 of the United Declaration of Human Rights.
	Slide whistle shall be at the prerogative of the human resource.
	He wants a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	I think he was really stoned.
	He probably wanted a de-douching, but okay.
	He said douchebag.
	Yeah, I read it.
	He was stoned.
	He didn't know what he was doing.
	Michael Klink, Oak Park, Illinois, $50.
	ITM, AC and JCD. My birthday today, so I gave you 50 bucks.
	Wishing you all a happy Memorial Day and finally a little job, Karma.
	Thanks, soon to be sir, Colonel Klink.
	You've got karma.
	And, uh...
	Sorry, we also have Alan Martin, Brandon, Florida, 50, no comment.
	Peter Totes, Sir Peter Totes, the U, $50.
	Ryan Hoskins in Yorba Linda, California, $50, saying he's going on vacation to Las Vegas on Sunday.
	Boy, my arm's tired.
	And I'd like to get some karma for the trip.
	Thank you both for all the hard work you do deconstructing the news.
	As a student, I know how hard it is to find the funds to donate to this show.
	But I know that there are a lot of other people out there who can afford the $11.11 monthly subscription like I do.
	And it's very important that everyone follow the Value for Value model.
	And this show is based on, thank you for making the best podcast in the universe.
	A little bit of karma for you, student.
	You've got karma.
	Well, you know, I got really motivated yesterday.
	I was like, oh, you know, I'm going to start writing the outline for our book about...
	I have the title and everything.
	It's not just going to be a no-agenda book.
	I think it has to be...
	The title of the book is Steal This Book 2.0 Subtitle, the value for value model.
	And I'm like, we can write this.
	It'll be great.
	We'll give it away.
	People will send us money for it.
	We'll follow the whole thing through.
	And today I don't feel so good about it for some reason.
	You still on board with that?
	Yeah, well, you shouldn't.
	And I don't like, you know...
	What don't you like?
	Well, I don't like getting to the...
	I mean, eventually we're going to have to do it, but I think in the future, where we actually have product...
	What do you mean?
	Why don't you like a book about the value for value model?
	Because we have to ship the book.
	No, it's an e-book.
	Oh, an e-book.
	Yeah.
	It's just an e-book and you can get it free.
	Oh, an e-book, yeah.
	It's fine.
	Yeah, we just set up a mechanism.
	Yeah.
	And then you donate if you like the book.
	Okay.
	Let's say that you set up something and all of a sudden you became a millionaire on our value for value model.
	You send us half a million.
	That would be good.
	Well, it would be worth it.
	I think so.
	I mean, so do you like that idea, or are you just saying that for the show, and after the show, you're going to berate me for it?
	I might berate you for it.
	I doubt it.
	I'd probably forget.
	It's so early in, I don't have a long memory, if you haven't noticed.
	I was thinking about you this week.
	And then you forgot.
	No, but I was thinking about you.
	I reminded myself, because I have a clip, I want to just interject it here before we get to our thank yous, because there's a new show coming out on television that is right up your alley, and it's something that I wanted to alert you to, because I don't know that you'd know that this was going to happen, but I know it's important to you, so I do have this clip telling us about the new show.
	Yeah.
	So are you guys ready to get carried away again?
	That's gotta be a ding.
	Yeah, well the pilot for the Carrie Diaries, the prequel to Sex and the City has leaked and it whisks us back to 1984 when Carrie Bradshaw was a high school girl in suburban Connecticut.
	Anna-Sophia Robb will play Carrie in full 80s fashion.
	Lots of Laura Ashley and material girl looks.
	And Manola Blahnik's Nowhere to be Seas.
	Oh, look at her.
	Yeah, it's really, it looks good.
	Carrie Diaries airs on CW starting in January.
	Looking forward to that.
	And finally, everybody, have you ever gone to the freezer?
	You are violating my human rights as an LGBT C male.
	By making fun of me, just because I'm bi-curious doesn't mean I like stupid sex in the city.
	No, no, no.
	He went to see all the Sex and the City movies.
	I know that for a fact.
	I went to see the second one because Mickey asked me to go, and it was...
	Three hours, it was very long, three hours of my life that I've never really quite recovered.
	Oh, I had misinterpreted this all along.
	I thought you were a huge, huge, huge Sex and the City fan.
	No, I like Smash because that's a good show.
	Oh, you see, that also leads me into the same conclusion, yeah.
	Yeah, and by the way, Smash got picked up for a second season.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And it will be, eventually, it will be a musical, and I will go see the musical.
	Absolutely.
	Broadway!
	Are you culture barbarian?
	By the way, we've tried to watch Girls and Deconstruct It.
	Oh, no.
	I mean, Mickey still really likes it, and I'm like...
	It's got the dialogue is idiotic, and men do not talk like this.
	No, women talk like this.
	This is apparently exactly how women talk when we're not looking.
	Yeah.
	And it's pretty frightening.
	It's like the Eddie Murphy bit where he poses as a white guy and then as soon as he becomes a white guy, everything's free.
	Only when there's black people around did they start charging money.
	Do you remember that from a movie?
	It was very funny.
	No.
	Anyway, sorry, let's get back to the...
	Well, I wanted to play a little thing from PBS. We got our birthday.
	I got that.
	I got that.
	I got a little thing from PBS just to show you.
	Now, PBS, of course, is doing their fundraising drive.
	Stop fluting and listen.
	So I want you to, so this is a local station, local PBS. The way it works is, you know, PBS, they have, what's the guy, the travel guy?
	Rick Steves.
	That's the guy.
	Travel guy.
	So now travel guy is, if you donate $100, I think maybe it's $150, then you get his 90...
	$150 level.
	Level.
	Giving level.
	Then you get his 90 episode DVD set.
	Right.
	So, they come out of an episode where he is in Denmark.
	Now, this is PBS, public television, so highly rated, so incredibly intelligent, you must support them at the $150 giving level.
	Denmark.
	I hope you've enjoyed our look at the best of Denmark.
	I'm Rick Steves.
	Until next time, keep on traveling.
	How interesting to see ancient and modern Greece, including where the Olympics started.
	What?
	They come out like, how was so interesting that about Greece?
	The guy said, that's it from Denmark.
	Yeah, this thing is just clipped together by an idiot that messed up.
	This is the kind of phony baloney stuff you get from PBS. How interesting.
	Just fantastically interesting.
	All right, we really need some more support from you guys.
	I think we have...
	I mean, it's kind of interesting where on one hand you can say, you know, you give us the value after we've given you the value, but maybe we should wait until you give us the value for us to give you the value.
	I don't know.
	I thought we gave you some value today.
	Where else have you heard the 30 articles of the human rights...
	As declared by the elites of the United Nations.
	No one will ever discuss that except the two of us.
	Oh, exactly.
	No one will ever discuss it except you.
	Let's be straight about it.
	Well, is that a bad thing?
	No, it's a great thing.
	I never thought to look it up.
	Exactly.
	So where else will you actually hear the elitist agenda of killing your children?
	Did we not show exactly that?
	We're just trying to keep people alive.
	Dvorak.org Slash N-A-L-O-R Well, Carrie Smock, she congratulates her husband, Bill, who turns 47 today.
	She loves him so much, she actually succumbed to donating to the program.
	Carrie, you are a fantastic partner in life.
	Michael Klink, also celebrating today, and he congratulates himself.
	And those are our birthdays.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	And indeed, we have one knighting, I want to say.
	Meetsy at noagendanation.com.
	Mike, Echo, Echo, Tango, Sierra, Yankee.
	Meetsy at noagendanation.com.
	If you believe you have a knighthood, if your ring hasn't arrived, she's almost caught.
	She was sick.
	I didn't know she was sick, John.
	She's feeling better, though, I guess.
	She had some cold or something.
	She only does the rings when she feels like it.
	That's the spirit.
	Seriously.
	That's nice.
	That's nice to know.
	George Scanlon, step forward please, sir.
	Thank you so much for contributing to the No Agenda show.
	The best podcast in the university in the amount of $1,000 or more.
	You, sir, will be receiving one of the rings when meets he feels like it.
	So we hereby pronounce the Sir George Knight of the now agenda roundtable for you, sir.
	Hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, wenches and beer, or hot pants and booze right here at the roundtable.
	Thank you for supporting the show.
	Value for value.
	It works.
	Sometimes.
	I witnessed something interesting this past week, which I wanted to talk to you about.
	Remember I had that allergy for a week, like the mold allergy, and I was dizzy?
	Yeah, from the area that has apparently a lot of mold.
	Yeah, I was like falling down and sleeping all day, and it was quite disturbing because I'm a pretty healthy dude, I think.
	Yeah, you look healthy.
	Yeah, thank you.
	We haven't seen each other in so long, honey.
	How can you even know that?
	You don't look as healthy as Zuma, but we'll get to that later.
	Okay.
	That was Zuma.
	I know what you're on to.
	So, you know, Ms.
	Mickey had really bad allergies, and it got to the point where, you know, when your wife says to you, honey, do my eyes look puffy?
	I mean, what is the correct answer?
	Well, the correct answer depends on how long you've been married.
	Well, we get married on July 16th, so what is the correct answer?
	Oh, no, you look so beautiful.
	Exactly!
	I got up the other night.
	I said, you're in bed already?
	You didn't wash your face?
	She said, oh, no, I already took off my makeup.
	You couldn't tell?
	What is the correct answer?
	Oh, really?
	No, I couldn't tell.
	You don't even need makeup.
	Wedding advice from the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group, ladies and gentlemen.
	So, you know, I mean, anyway.
	So she was looking around, you know, how can she fix these allergies?
	Because she really had them bad.
	And so she winds up at a guy, Dr.
	Ron, here in Austin, upon recommendation of a friend's sister.
	And he does...
	Kind of like voodoo stuff, but also...
	He says voodoo doctor.
	That's what you want.
	Also, acupuncture.
	Acupuncture.
	Now, you know me.
	I'm not one for the pharmaceutical industry and system, so I don't go to the doctor ever.
	I just refuse because I know what's going to happen.
	I'm going to say, oh, no, you're going to die.
	You're going to die.
	You're more likely to get sick after.
	The hospital.
	Exactly.
	It's a fact, by the way.
	Everyone's saying, oh, you need to get a prostate exam.
	No.
	Not going to do that because the elites don't do it.
	Warren Buffett's guy doesn't do it.
	Because what will happen is, oh, yeah, no, we definitely got to.
	First they should stick a camera in your butt and then they radiate you.
	It's like, no, I don't want that.
	So, yeah, I'm very skeptical.
	All right.
	But I say, okay, I'll go and have a visit with Dr.
	Ron.
	I have to say, John, have you ever had acupuncture?
	No.
	Very interesting.
	Very interesting experience.
	In fact, it was very similar to smoking weed Where, you know, and I'm not, I'm very afraid of needles, so, you know, I got my eyes closed.
	Yeah, these needles are pretty...
	Yeah, you don't feel it at all.
	But, you know, he put one in my third eye chakra, which is right where your third eye is on your forehead, and the one at the top of my head, and literally I could hear, like, zzz, electricity, like, zzz, zzz.
	And I swear to God, I got high.
	I started giggling like I was smoking weed.
	I'm not kidding.
	And then after that, and then after that, I got really heavy, dude.
	And I had to sit in my car and drink tea for like 10 minutes before I could drive.
	I'm like, dude, I'm so baked from this.
	It was an awesome experience.
	Baked?
	But he did something else.
	So I said, you know, I got Tourette's.
	Okay, superstar, fix my Tourette's.
	He's like, okay.
	So he brings out these two boxes that are like VHS cassette boxes, and there's all kinds of vials in them.
	Have you ever seen this procedure?
	No.
	Okay.
	So you're lying on your back.
	You put your left arm in the air straight up, and he pushes at the back of your hand, trying to push your hand forward, and you have to use as much pressure as you can not to allow him to push your hand.
	You with me?
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So when he puts the first DVD box on, he says, there's anything in here.
	He puts it on my stomach, literally, and presses my hand.
	My hand doesn't move.
	And he says, okay, there's nothing in there.
	He takes the second DVD box, puts it on my stomach, anything in here.
	And he's pushing my hand, and he's moving it forward, and I cannot stop him from pushing it.
	I'm not a weak guy.
	I'm like, that's weird.
	No, this is your body telling you that there's something in here that you can't stand.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Is he playing the DVDs?
	No, it's a DVD filled with...
	It's a box filled with vials of stuff.
	And he just puts the box on your stomach?
	Mm-hmm.
	But the stuff is in the box?
	Mm-hmm.
	There's nothing else going on?
	Well, no, I'm sorry.
	He opens the box, turns it upside down, so there's maybe 30 vials in there.
	But they're not on my bare stomach.
	They're just on my stomach, on my clothes.
	Alright, so anyway, oh, there's something in here.
	Then he turns the box over and he puts my finger on each one of these vials and does that test trying to push my arm forward.
	And I can feel him really trying to push and I'm pushing back and he's not moving.
	Then he hits one and I cannot stop him from moving my arm forward.
	It's like, hmm, let's take a look.
	He pulls it out and says, oh, mercury.
	There's something going on in your body with mercury.
	And then he takes and he continues this test and he puts like on your liver, your large intestine, your small intestine.
	He's like, no, it's not there.
	It's not there.
	It's not there.
	Then he puts it on the right hand side of my head and he can push my arm all the way down to the ground.
	You got mercury in your brain.
	I'm like, what?
	So you got mercury in your brain.
	And he does a couple more tests, and he says, okay, you got this when you were six or seven years old, you had a vaccination, you got mercury, and it's now literally encapsulated and sitting in your brain, and that's probably the cause of your Tourette's.
	And so he says, you know, it'll take about a year, but I think we can get rid of it.
	You're flabbergasted.
	Well, that's about as hocus pocus as a story that you've ever told him ever.
	Why?
	I mean, what happens if it actually fixes it?
	Would you still say it's hocus-pocus?
	Well, I would say here we have an example of the very little understood, in fact, almost not understood, placebo effect, which would possibly cure you.
	You think it's all placebo effect, huh?
	Well, you know, this thing about this pushing the arms down, I've seen this demonstrated before.
	I was highly skeptical.
	I'm like, yeah, this almost seems like a...
	Yeah, I know you should be, but I've seen there's a...
	I don't know if I... I may have told this story on the show maybe two or three years ago, because I witnessed this.
	And I've talked to people who know about it and who've also seen it.
	And it's a theory by Mark Levinson, who is one of the most famous audio engineers in history.
	And you can just look up the Levinson amplifier and you can see, find all kinds of references.
	Very expensive.
	And he has this theory that digitized music actually has a psychological effect on people and weakens them and makes them susceptible to propaganda and whatever.
	I believe that, certainly if it's MP3 quality.
	And so he, well he says an email from the DVD. So he, but he says this can all be modified away and this other very famous audio guy named Berwin, I can't remember his first name, but I've actually corresponded with him.
	And he's aware of the Levinson Gimmick and the fact that Berwyn's software will change the DVD so they work just out.
	So he'll bring somebody in from the audience.
	Somebody comes up, and it was a seminar, or not a seminar, but a presentation that I was at.
	And he tells them to hold their hands out, and then he pushes down.
	He says, no, resist me as much as you can.
	And they play some DVD music from a regular DVD, and he just said, no, resist it.
	Boom, pushes them right down, just instantly.
	And he said, no, you can't resist any better.
	And it's the same kind of thing that you were doing.
	And he just pushed him down.
	And then he plays the modified DVD that has been Berwyn-ized, that has all the better characteristics.
	And the person can hold their arms out and resist.
	Right.
	And there's not a person in the world that can explain this.
	I mean, whatever.
	But this kind of thing, it's out there.
	Penis, penis, penis!
	Oh, man, it's not working.
	Well, talking about penis...
	Anyway, I'll keep you.
	By the way, it's a very cheap procedure, so it'll be worth it for me to try.
	What's he going to do?
	Is he going to be chelates?
	No, every month I come in, he does the sacred...
	What is the word I'm looking for?
	So I'm getting the impression this guy's not really a doctor.
	He studied at UT, and after he finished medical school, he went to the Orient and studied this, and he came back and decided this.
	It was interesting because...
	Well, my doctor's an acupuncturist, too.
	But what he was saying, we were talking, because I was kind of interviewing at the same time, like, you know, I'm skeptical.
	And he said, I'm highly skeptical of the pharmaceutical industry.
	He said, you should be, because they're just trying to sell vaccines, which is all bullcrap.
	And by the way, he said, there's legislation, you can't go sue the vaccine companies.
	I'm like, okay.
	All right.
	You're in my camp.
	You're in my camp.
	All right.
	All right.
	Stick the needle in me, bitch.
	Go!
	Make him listen to the show.
	Anyway, so it could be the placebo effect.
	It could be sacred signs and stuff and all kinds of good stuff.
	It could just be because I believe that my body heals itself, but I've been living with this for almost 48 years, so it would be interesting if it were to be gone.
	But maybe I won't be interesting then.
	I'm kind of worried about that too.
	That can happen.
	Maybe Mercury's the only thing keeping you on the track.
	Oh no.
	It could be.
	You know, it's okay.
	The show's going to end someday anyway.
	Yeah, we're all going to die.
	So we've got at least a year.
	Okay, good.
	So this guy Zuma, the head of South Africa...
	Yeah, we know him.
	What a piece of work this guy is.
	Wasn't there some crap about a painting or something he was pissed off about?
	Yeah, there's a painting of him in the main museum, and it's called The Spear.
	And there's a picture of him with his dick hanging out and his balls hanging out.
	Which I can't even imagine doing that in this country.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold on a second.
	I need a picture of this.
	Yeah, just type Zuma balls on Google and you'll see the picture.
	Really?
	Balls?
	With a Z? No, with an S. Balls?
	Hold on a second.
	Zuma balls.
	Okay.
	Oh, man, you get all kinds of Zuma balls.
	No, no, no.
	The pictures are there.
	No.
	Go to images.
	No, I'm going to images and I get all kinds of beads.
	Z-U-M-A. Yes.
	Okay, here, let me get you the real search.
	How about Zuma Painting?
	Get his first name.
	Zuma, South Africa.
	Zuma Painting Balls.
	Ah, okay.
	There it is.
	Let me just...
	Hey!
	Got dudes hung like a horse!
	Well, he has four wives, and he still has kids out of wedlock.
	He's just a total dog.
	And, you know, he's running the country, and so they're all...
	He's circumcised, too.
	So somebody put this painting out, and it's on the museum, and so...
	It's kind of the Obama colors.
	You notice that?
	Yeah, well, kind of, except for the blue, missing blue.
	So...
	So somebody defaces the painting, and now it's a big scandal.
	But the weird thing is they had the defacing on the BBC, but it was a camera that was obviously on a tripod, and the whole thing was filmed from the beginning, when the first guy puts an X over his head, and then the next guy comes along with some black...
	It's a produced video.
	It was set up, is what you're saying.
	Yeah, it was totally set up.
	It plays Zuma balls, and you give a little backstory.
	Yeah.
	A controversial painting that shows the South African president Jacob Zuma with his genitals exposed has been defaced at an art gallery in Johannesburg.
	The attacker told the BBC he'd smeared the picture with paint because he thought it disrespectful.
	The BBC's Milton Nicosi reports.
	It was business as usual at the Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg.
	Then suddenly this is what happened.
	The portrait depicted a fully clothed President Jacob Zuma, but with his genitals exposed.
	A scuffle ensued and the two gentlemen were apprehended by security guards and then handed over to the police.
	They will appear in court soon.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me get this straight.
	So this picture, the guy likes the picture because it shows him hung like a horse and it's okay, it's on display, and then someone comes in and ruins it because it's inappropriate.
	Is that what I'm understanding?
	Well, I'm not sure.
	I never got the straight scoop on whether Zuma likes or dislikes the picture.
	But he didn't do anything because he's been hanging for a while, so to speak.
	Yeah, he's been hanging there at the museum and nothing's been done.
	It's not an illegal picture.
	So I'm suspecting he probably did like it because it was, you know...
	Yeah, it's flattering.
	Well, to guys married and have four wives and a bunch of other women on the side, I guess it would be.
	Dude, this is a flattering picture.
	Here's a Zuma Balls Part 2 just kind of wraps it up.
	The African National Congress, President Jacob Zuma's party, is in court trying to force this gallery to take the painting down.
	There's been a lot of controversy in the last week about that painting.
	People were saying, especially from the African National Congress, These supporters from the governing African National Congress were outside court singing old liberation songs.
	In his application to stop the display of the spear, President Jacob Zuma said he was hurt by the artwork.
	But why continue with court action when painting is already vandalized?
	In Section 10 of the South African Constitution, it says everyone has a right to human dignity.
	That everyone entrusts the president of this country, entrusts Zoma as a father, entrusts Zoma as a grandfather, entrusts Zoma as the president of this country.
	President Zuma's life has been under public scrutiny for some time.
	A polygamist, he has four wives, and has admitted fathering at least one child out of wedlock.
	Milton Ngozi, BBC News, Johannesburg.
	This is like, I don't know, this is weird.
	Is it some kind of racial thing they're trying to stir up, or...
	I don't have a clue.
	Who gives a crap?
	I mean, well, there's that.
	Well, it's a novelty story.
	I mean, above all.
	But it's like, South Africa is, we probably should look at it a little more than we do.
	We pretty much have stopped paying attention to that far down.
	We're looking at the pipelines and the stuff going up further north.
	There's probably some pretty good stuff in South Africa to deal with.
	For sure.
	Interrelations with China and all this crazy guy.
	Guys walking around with their balls hanging out.
	It's good stuff.
	Yeah, there you go.
	It's good stuff.
	Well, the BBC, of course, reporting on this, they're very smart, the BBC. They have more information than you and I do.
	Really?
	Yes.
	One of our donors mentioned that he heard the 33 meme mentioned on the BBC report about the doctor Who faked the vaccinations and thereby got, what is it, he got like the DNA from someone, remember that story?
	Oh right, the guy, yeah.
	He faked vaccinations, got the DNA, and that led to Osama Bin Laden's demise.
	The BBC, however, has an interesting twist on what really happened.
	We're doing political fallout following the decision by a Pakistani court on Monday to jail Dr.
	Shaquille Afridi.
	He's the Pakistani doctor who was recruited by the CIA to help trace Osama bin Laden, running a fake vaccination program in the town of Abbottabad, where bin Laden was eventually captured.
	No, shh!
	No, you talked over it.
	I'm sorry, I said go again, but I was stunned that she pronounced it correctly.
	She said Abbottabad.
	I know, she said it right.
	I noticed that too.
	But also, the guy was CIA. It's 33 years that he's been convicted of.
	She says Abbottabad properly.
	So why is this last bit not true as well?
	Bin Laden was eventually captured and executed by U.S. Navy SEALs.
	I didn't know he was captured and executed.
	It wasn't captured and executed.
	So wait a minute.
	So we have 33 years, CIA, Abbottabad, which is the correct pronunciation.
	It's not Abbottabad.
	It's Abbottabad.
	Code in itself.
	Yes.
	Extreme code.
	And then all of a sudden, Osama bin Laden was captured, then executed.
	What does the BBC know that we don't know?
	Maybe they didn't write the report.
	Interesting.
	Well, I mean, that's what we've always suspected.
	Now, have you heard this?
	This is one that's...
	I'm not totally on board.
	That's a clip of the day, by the way.
	Are you sure?
	I think so.
	That's an outstanding clip.
	You want to bestow that on me today?
	Well, that's very kind of you, John.
	There we go.
	Thank you.
	Clip of the day!
	It's no better than the Zuma Balls clip.
	Well, here's two clips from President Obama.
	And I'm not entirely on board with how it's being presented, but it is weird.
	It can be interpreted in two ways.
	This is about health care and equal rights for women and men.
	And he keeps referring to his sons.
	Have you heard this?
	No, but I'm all ears.
	We don't need another political fight about ending a woman's right to choose or getting rid of Planned Parenthood or taking away affordable birth control.
	You don't need that.
	I want women to control their own health choices, just like I want my daughters to have the same economic opportunities as my sons.
	We're not turning back the clock.
	I want my daughters to have the same economic opportunities the same as my sons.
	Now, you can interpret this two ways.
	One, he has kids we don't know about.
	You can interpret it multiple ways.
	Two, his daughters are actually dudes.
	That's possible.
	Three, he's so elitist that he considers our kids to be his kids.
	And if it only happened once, okay, anomaly, teleprompter, flub, but it happens again.
	We're all going backwards.
	First bill I signed, Lilly Ledbetter Act.
	Simple proposition.
	Equal pay for equal work.
	I don't want my daughters treated differently than my sons.
	What the heck does that mean?
	Is he the king now?
	My daughters, my sons.
	Or are his daughters dudes?
	Or he has kids.
	Or he has more kids we don't know about.
	By another wife.
	It could be the other Obama.
	Oh, the other Obama has sons.
	Right, that would make sense.
	Now, that could be that.
	It's weird, though, isn't it?
	Because there's ways of putting it...
	I would like to have my daughters have the same advantages of...
	As my sons.
	There's ways of getting around saying that, and he just doesn't want to, and he's...
	I don't know.
	That's pretty strange.
	That's a good clip, but it's not the clip of the day.
	So Elizabeth Warren, and I have a conclusion about this, which is why I want to play it.
	Because she's sending out code.
	And I believe, by the way, that she is 100% descendant of...
	Was it Arapaho?
	Is that...
	Or Cherokee.
	So Elizabeth Warren, she initially was supposed to head up the Consumer Protection Agency, and she's an incredible douchebag.
	I don't like her.
	She rubbed you the wrong way.
	Yeah, she's the one who also walked out on Congress saying, I haven't got time for this, and left.
	Yeah, she's running for Senate.
	Okay.
	And again, Scott Brown, the male model.
	Scott Brown, the GQ model in Massachusetts, I believe.
	The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	Took over a Kennedy spot.
	So, in some cookbook somewhere that she released 30 years ago, called the Pow Wow Chow Down or something, she claims that she is 132% Cherokee Native American Indian.
	And she has actually gleaned some advantage, perhaps, by claiming to be a minority.
	Now, she does not look like she's a Native American Indian.
	At all.
	At all.
	And so, of course, this is a political campaign.
	So the whole thing blows up and everyone's like, hey, hold on a second.
	Answer the question.
	Did you make this crap up?
	Did you make it up?
	And the people who've hired her said, oh, you know, it didn't make any difference.
	We didn't hire her because she's a minority.
	She got no benefit from us.
	But the question lingers, and of course she hasn't really answered it.
	I believe it to be true, if you know anything about today's state of the Native American Indian, she is telling us this in code continuously while not answering the question.
	Elizabeth, can you put this issue to bed and tell us whether or not you are in fact a member of a minority group?
	So, middle class families are getting hammered.
	I've been out talking to people about this all across the Commonwealth and what they care about.
	Or what Washington is going to do about that.
	My Republican opponent has made it clear what he will do.
	He voted to double the interest rates.
	Members of the Cherokee Nation want to know.
	They say you should come clean.
	I have made the facts clear, and what I'm trying to do is talk about in this Senate race what matters to America's families, what matters to the families of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	Scott Brown has hammered on my family at the same time that he...
	So she's not answering the question, but do you hear the code that she's using over and over again?
	What?
	That now, middle class families are also getting hammered on...
	She keeps talking about getting hammered.
	Yeah, getting hammered.
	All Native American Indians get hammered.
	They get hammered on booze all day long.
	She is a true Cherokee.
	She doesn't stop, John.
	It's the issue, and it's my job in this campaign to talk about those issues.
	This is what matters to the families.
	And then stop.
	I can't stop her when she's in the sequence.
	I like she tries to get her PR guy to stop, and he goes, I can't stop her.
	What, I can't stop her when she's in the sequence?
	It's a douchebag.
	What is she, a robot?
	Apparently.
	Why did you claim you were a minority and then stopped?
	I have told you.
	I have answered these questions.
	I am going to talk about what's happening to America's families.
	It's what people across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts tell me is important to them, and it's what I'm going to continue to do.
	Don't you think it's an important issue to address?
	I have talked about the issues that are most important to the families of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	The families themselves have made this clear.
	I have answered the questions about my background, about my family, and I am talking about what matters to the people of Massachusetts.
	They have said what they care about is that middle class families are getting hammered.
	She keeps saying getting hammered.
	Getting hammered.
	Well, they are getting hammered.
	There's nothing else to do.
	They haven't got jobs.
	They might as well stay home and get hammered.
	I mean, is that your talking point?
	Families are getting hammered?
	Families are getting hammered.
	It's like, she sure sounds Cherokee to me.
	Getting hammered, man.
	I'm getting hammered.
	Meanwhile, down under...
	Jeez, what is wrong with that woman?
	And of course, they're making this like the racist neck and neck again because I gotta get that money.
	Of course.
	And what she's saying is her veins are popping out of her neck like she's a shapeshifter.
	She's freaky.
	Really freaky.
	Something's wrong with her.
	Yeah, very freaky.
	She's tall and lanky, but she's freaky.
	She's very tall.
	She was on the Jon Stewart show once and she was like towering over him.
	Well, he's...
	That's not hard.
	So, Australia, of course, very, very sad for our friends there in Oz.
	Maynard, if you're allowed to escape under your human right of leaving your country, you've always got a room at the inn here, my friend.
	Well, you can sleep in between Miss Mickey and I. Because you've got to get out, man.
	You've got to get out of that place.
	First of all, they've got carbon taxes, so they're right on board with the Club of Rome and transferring your money to the poor nations who they're killing.
	And then they're going to come after your kids because they say the guy's ready to kill his own kid because of their carbon footprint.
	But now, my friend, and Maynard is a mainstream radio guy there, but he's got an edge, and he's really pushing the envelope a lot, and that envelope has got to be free speech, but I think you're in trouble, Maynard.
	Police may have trouble finding a job when they leave school.
	Under a new scheme to be trialled by 12 major employers in New South Wales, Bully Check will require all prospective employees under the age of 22 to provide a character reference from their school.
	If the applicant is found to have been involved in bullying, their application could be binned.
	It's hoped the program will be adopted across the state after a 12-month trial.
	Bully Check!
	Wow!
	How awesome is that?
	Wow!
	You know, Australia.
	You have to come with a reference from your school.
	And your application will get binned.
	It could get binned.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm going to see if I'm fast enough to do this.
	Let me see if I can get bullycheck.com.
	Am I fast enough?
	Did I get it?
	Oh, or someone already has it.
	Damn, who's got bullycheck.com?
	GetBullyCheck.org.
	Well, let's see if there's a website there.
	Ah, it's parked.
	Bastards.
	Am I boring you?
	No, I'm just filling time for the listeners out there while you do this thing.
	I don't have that thing.
	I would have the Jeopardy theme, but I can't play it.
	I don't really...
	Well, then I have this from Gitmo Nation East.
	Robert Leather sent me a ton of clips.
	It's just too much.
	But this is about Gareth Williams, the spy who zipped himself in the bag.
	Oh yeah, the zip spy.
	He zipped himself in the bag.
	So as part of the court proceedings, they brought in an escape artist.
	And ask the guy to zip himself in the bag to see if he could do it.
	Right at the start of the inquest, the coroner, Dr.
	Fiona Wilcox, said the question of whether Gareth Williams was able to lock himself in the bag would be at the very heart of the case.
	Central to answering the question was expert witness Peter Folding.
	Folding?
	Peter Folding.
	I know, isn't that great?
	Peter Folding.
	He's an expert in zipping himself into tight spaces.
	He's mounted on video to lock himself in a holdall identical to the one in which Gareth Williams was found have been flashed on TV screens around the world.
	It was particularly unpleasant to actually zip yourself in the bag.
	I had paramedics on standby.
	I had a release knife inside.
	I found it extremely difficult.
	I wasn't flexible enough to be able to close the bag myself.
	Houdini would have struggled with this one.
	Peter Folding told us he was called in by the Met within days of the start of their investigation.
	He was contracted to work on the case because of his listing as a confined space specialist on a police database of expert witnesses.
	I think the whole report is humorous.
	It's very funny.
	Peter Folding, confined space specialist.
	No kidding.
	Really?
	And that's his real name?
	Oh, boy.
	Then this report came out, and unfortunately, what I wanted to find for y'all was not available because it aired in 2004 on CNN. But here's the sad news that reached us late last night.
	Sandy Dahl's best friend says Sandy died of a broken heart.
	She'd given so much of herself to others, even as she carried a heavy burden.
	Her husband, Jason, was the captain of United Flight 93.
	He, the crew, and passengers fought back against terrorists that hijacked that plane.
	Friends say Sandy Dahl died in her sleep on Friday morning.
	She was 52.
	So we have Sandy Dahl.
	Actually, she was a flight attendant herself.
	She dies in her sleep, age 52.
	She was the wife of Jason Dahl, pilot of United Airlines Flight 93.
	In 2004, she was on CNN with Wolf Blitzer.
	No one will mention this to you, by the way.
	You will not see this on television.
	And it's unfortunate I can't find a clip.
	2004, I don't think we had YouTube.
	I have the transcript, which I did get from CNN. Sandy Dahl says...
	I'm disappointed at the FBI report because I heard something other than what they reported and I don't understand how they came up with it.
	For instance, they talk about passengers indicated that the pilots were dead and laying in the first class section.
	I heard evidence to the contrary on this tape and I don't understand why they would report that.
	Wolf Blitzer.
	Tell us exactly what you heard.
	Sandy Dahl.
	Oh, I can't do that.
	I've signed papers with the FBI saying that I wouldn't.
	I just wish they would come out and tell the truth the FBI with the evidence they know.
	I'm not saying that they're deliberately trying to deceive.
	I would just like the evidence out so that people can know what really happened.
	It's kind of a folktale at this point.
	There was a riot of passengers and crew at the end, and they did crash into the cockpit.
	And then she dies at 52 in her sleep.
	She's probably working on a book or something.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	Just saying.
	Well, we know this...
	Yeah, bad.
	So I got a couple clips I want to get out of here.
	One is that the mayor of Baltimore...
	You want to get out of here?
	You want to leave?
	Are you in a hurry?
	No, I'm just saying.
	And I don't want to just say just saying.
	That's another bad thing.
	You're literally just saying.
	Just because why?
	Alright, so the mayor of Baltimore is giving a commencement speech.
	She's a black woman who I believe thinks she's Oprah.
	But she also treats everyone like slaves.
	Like Oprah.
	Very much.
	And so...
	Where is this clip?
	It's...
	Mayor of Baltimore.
	Mayor of Baltimore.
	This is what you would be hearing if you were a student.
	So first, the first thing I ask is that you please stand and give your parents and your family a round of applause and the educators here for all that they have done to help you to get to this day.
	Now!
	Now!
	Now that is a round of applause.
	Thank you.
	Wow.
	She jumps at the...
	She's not like Oprah.
	She's like this one.
	Yes, here's a little one.
	You come on up.
	Yeah, well, she had a lot of Michelle mannerisms.
	Okay.
	And the way she talks about her mom, she could have been...
	But Oprah and Michelle and this woman seem to be kind of all cut from the same cloth.
	But now!
	Now!
	Now!
	So Olympic ticket sales are off.
	Yeah, they have like 300,000 they can't sell?
	Yeah, and so there's two stories about this.
	One is apparently the Ukrainian guys, and by the way, there was a riot in Parliament.
	I wish it wasn't worth clipping.
	No.
	But there was a fistfight that broke out that was just a melee.
	It looked like one of those movies from the 30s, you know, a cowboy movie in a bar.
	But anyway, so...
	Were they slamming chairs on people's heads?
	No.
	Yeah, it was horrible.
	Ah, wow.
	Ukrainian, for one thing, they catch a Ukrainian scalper.
	This is just a short bit.
	Ukraine's Olympic Committee has suspended its General Secretary after he was caught on camera offering tickets for cash to the London 2012 Games to an undercover BBC reporter.
	Volodymyr Jarashenko, the General Secretary of Ukraine's National Olympic Committee, told an undercover reporter posing as a ticket tout he had up to 100 tickets to sell.
	Such a sale would be illegal and could carry a fine of up to £20,000.
	Mr.
	Garashenko later insisted he had no intention of actually selling the tickets.
	Adrian Warner reports.
	I like the end.
	Dude, I wasn't going to sell it, man.
	I wasn't going to sell it.
	I was just kidding.
	So anyway, the whole thing is bogative because the Olympic ticket sales are down in the tank.
	You can play that and we get a little background.
	Nearly a third of the Olympic Games tickets that became available to the British public earlier this week are still unsold.
	That means there's now a real prospect for the first time since they went on sale last year of the Games not being a sellout.
	The London 2012 organizers had expected that all 928,000 tickets would be snapped up quickly.
	Yeah, no one wants to go to your douchebag Illuminati celebration.
	No, and you know what the real thing is, is that leaked report that you read last show about the Rockefellers.
	Yeah, after our show, ticket sales time.
	When they bring in the Navy and they bring in a would-be aircraft carrier, which is some other thing, but it looks like one, and then all these rockets on the rooftops, I wouldn't be a million miles near that thing.
	So this is very interesting.
	So just to recap, we read the Rockefeller Foundation report, which had four scenarios for the future.
	One of them literally said 13,000 die at the explosion at the 2012 Olympics in London.
	I think what's happening now, they've probably only sold about 13,000 tickets, John.
	I'll tell you, this...
	Yeah, but you're right.
	I mean, why the hell would we want to do that?
	Why would you want to go to the Olympics with all...
	You've got the aircraft carriers, you've got the helicopters, you've got the...
	Jets.
	Jets, you've got the missiles on the roofs, you've got the Rockefeller report...
	What if one of these rockets, here's the thing you do, is you take a little terror team, you go up on one of those towers where the rockets are, and you kill the three or four guys there.
	I don't know what kind of security they have, but you can probably find a way through it.
	And then you shoot the rocket at the stadium.
	Or unload the whole batch of them.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	That would be a mess.
	Well, at least it'll be televised live.
	At least it'll be televised live.
	That'll be cool.
	So, I mean, so I wouldn't go.
	I wouldn't buy a ticket to that.
	I think it sounds dangerous.
	It's going to be on television.
	So, you heard it here first on the No Agenda show.
	The Russian superjet that crashed, we immediately said, ah, this is clearly an attack.
	You know, we've had the ongoing Airbus-Boeing wars, and obviously Boeing wanted this thing to tank so they could sell their There are 737s, which is...
	No, no, no.
	We decided that wasn't it.
	It was for Airbus.
	Airbus, I'm sorry.
	Because Boeing has a piece of the action.
	I'm sorry.
	Airbus, you're right.
	Airbus wants to sell their...
	What is it?
	The 410?
	The 409?
	What is it?
	No, the little bitty one.
	It's a 319 or something.
	I don't know.
	It's a small one.
	310, whatever.
	310, maybe.
	Report!
	Report, report.
	The GRU, Russia's Military Intelligence Agency, suspects that U.S.-inspired industrial espionage may have caused the May 9th crash in Indonesia.
	We're not that crazy on this show.
	At least we're not crazier than the Russians.
	No.
	That's in the Christian Science Monitor.
	I'd say that's reasonably respectful.
	I like it.
	And then we might as well hit the... The Euro.
	I'm glad I got this clip.
	Because this is something that is very important for the human resources and now austere enslaved slaves of Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	So, you know, the...
	Cabinet has fallen.
	You have the finance minister, Jan Kees de Yacher.
	I have to say it again.
	Total dick.
	I know the guy when he was undersecretary.
	And all he was, he was a Microsoft IT guy.
	All he had to do was do some systems integration and make sure the tax systems were working because it was broken and the Microsoft platform was not performing properly.
	Somehow he became finance minister.
	He's a total douchebag, total idiot.
	I have inside information about his elitist nature as well.
	And I suspect many other things, which I will not mention.
	I don't want to violate his human rights.
	So he is interviewed on Euronews.
	And this is always interesting because it's in English and it's not going to be broadcast in Holland because it's not like on a national network.
	So he could just be as elitist as he wants to be.
	And boy, is he.
	Title of the clip, Slaves in Line, Brussels Happy.
	Your main message for the international market...
	By the way, I think it's Bruno who was asking the questions.
	Given the fact that we have a debate about the AAA stages of the Netherlands...
	Well, we have seen that even under the most difficult circumstances politically, we have seen that the Netherlands is ready with a parliamentary majority in both chambers, we have two chambers here in the parliament, with the majority and the government together to have a package deal that includes not only an austerity package which will bring us to the 3% deficit target next year,
	And a structural reform package of all the structural reforms that have been debated the last, well, even decades in the Netherlands.
	Liberalizing the labor markets, even before the financial markets asked us to do so.
	To have a housing market reform here in the Netherlands, which was very difficult in political terms, but we are doing it now.
	We have a pension reform already starting in 2013.
	So we do the economic reforms.
	We do the austerity measures.
	We are making all necessary measures to show all the world, all parts of the world, that the Netherlands is still an austere country.
	I rock!
	I rock!
	And we have our slaves in their place, bitches!
	You're talking about packages.
	Package deals.
	Zoom has got one.
	It's funny because package deal, of course, is more like a travel package deal.
	Yeah, he's an idiot.
	He continues.
	You're not going to play more, are you?
	It's kind of funny.
	Go on.
	I mean, you got something better?
	Yeah, well, no, I was saying, what he's saying is exactly why the students in Quebec, which nobody's covering except Democracy Now, 40,000 people marching.
	Rioting, yeah.
	There's a couple of explanations, which I finally picked up on this, what's really going on, and it's the same thing.
	It's about trying to create this austerity thing in a time when it's just not a good time to do it.
	And I think that...
	I'm surprised the Dutch have not...
	It's done anything about happening to them.
	The Spanish aren't putting up with it.
	Well, let's go to Quebec, and then we'll go back to the douchebag.
	What?
	Yeah, play the Quebec student movement.
	But the other thing I wanted to mention is that I think this red square patch that they're wearing...
	I think that's going to catch on here.
	It's a cool-looking red square that's sitting on its axis.
	We call it the red square because the students here are squarely in the red.
	So it's a symbol for student indebtment.
	And when we started our strike a few months ago here in Quebec, well, we decided to renew...
	Oh, I like that.
	Do we have a picture of this?
	Red square patch.
	Hold on.
	Just type in and you'll see it.
	It's about an inch and a half square, red.
	And you wear it so the point straights up so it's not like a square.
	It's like a...
	Red square patch.
	And I think this will catch on here because it's actually very attractive in some funny way.
	Google is off for me today, man.
	Do I say Quebec maybe?
	Red square patch.
	Oh!
	So you tilt it.
	Yeah.
	And apparently, that clip goes on and on, but apparently that patch is being worn by everybody, not just the students.
	I like it.
	I think I should wear that too.
	The red square patch.
	We're indebted slaves.
	Yeah.
	That's very cool.
	You know, it's interesting.
	It's made of felt very similar to the Jewish Star of David from World War II. Yeah, it's a felt, red felt, and it's because you're squarely in the red.
	I love it.
	That's very good.
	That's cool.
	Let's go back to the douchebag.
	I just love listening to him because the people of Holland need to make sure they know this.
	So actually the Netherlands preached to other countries in the Eurozone to respect to the letter this 3% rule and we saw the recent figures actually that the Netherlands did not respect it.
	So what is the main reason and what is the way out?
	Well, it's very simple, because the latest figures were without this spring agreement, and this spring agreement, also the Commission already explained that, will not only bring us towards the 3% deficit target in Europe, But also, and even more importantly so, includes a very high-quality package of economic reforms.
	It's high-quality.
	It's high-quality reforms, John.
	It's not just high-quality.
	Your debt will be of high-quality.
	...and the ECB have given a lot of praise for this package of the Netherlands.
	Good boy.
	Good boy.
	Your package is awesome.
	Good boy.
	Good boy, young case.
	The douchebag!
	I can tell, we know you don't like the guy.
	No.
	So, my favorite news item this whole week, which was again underplayed in the U.S. media, is apparently, you know, even though if you remember all the predictions, don't worry about it, the Muslim Brotherhood is in the lead.
	Most of the votes have now been counted after the first round of the presidential election in Egypt.
	The Muslim Brotherhood says its candidate, Mohamed Morsi, is in the lead, with the former Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq, in second place.
	Right on.
	So there you have it.
	Thank you very much.
	That went well.
	That wasn't supposed to happen, was it?
	Or was it?
	Well, it was obviously supposed to happen in some way, but I remember when it was happening, everyone said, no, these guys are marginal.
	They're marginalized.
	They won't even get involved.
	They got nothing to do with it.
	The Muslim Brotherhood, there's no chance.
	You remember all that bull crap.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, well, they're winning.
	This is not good.
	This is not good.
	Meanwhile, there was a guy...
	Islam for Holland?
	No, I'm sorry, Sharia for Holland.
	They went to Dam Square, and these guys were like, we're going to bring Sharia law to Holland, it's all going to happen, and you remember Theo van Gogh, yeah, we'll deal with Geert Wilders, and these guys just allowed to do this the whole time, violating human rights, obviously.
	They were just allowed to talk this crap the whole time.
	The Sharia law thing, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the whole thing is worrying.
	They need to go kill some children.
	Well, I think I'm almost now of the opinion that the idea is to get these radical Sunnis into power in some of these states and that kind of blocks the radical Shiites and then perhaps creates some sort of a war between the Shiites and the Sunni that we don't have to really get too involved in.
	They just start to kill each other off.
	Well, that's also good for the Club of Rome.
	Yeah, it's good for the Club of Rome and Hillary would like it.
	Because I don't see how they could not see that it was going to be the Muslim Brotherhood that takes over Egypt.
	Of course, the guys are going to...
	Israel's really screwed.
	Right.
	What is the...
	What is the main difference between the Shiites and the Sunnis?
	Is it just interpretation?
	One of them is, and I don't know which is which anymore, but the leaders believe that there's a direct link from Mohammed And there's like a relational link through the leadership through one, and the other one is more of an electorate kind of thing where they pick new Mohammeds as they go along.
	There's a fundamental difference in the way they see the organizational structure.
	One is kind of based on a continuation of Muhammad and the other one is based on... New Muhammads.
	New Muhammads or something.
	I used to know a couple of years ago exactly the difference.
	But you forgot.
	Well, I mean, it doesn't come up in the conversation.
	I'm not expecting people to ask me.
	But you can look it up and you'll find the difference.
	And it turned out to be, it's like a difference that apparently angers both sides.
	They hate the other guys.
	Ah, you guys are wrong the way you're doing this.
	No, no, no.
	You're wrong.
	Well, the only thing I got to wrap it all up, which is not a clip, is just a report.
	Miami police officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man Who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp.
	Zombies!
	Exactly!
	They're already here.
	They're in Florida and they're eating people.
	There's been a lot of zombie stories floating around.
	Well, have we not been warned by the CDC? I mean, ha ha ha was all a joke.
	It's not a joke.
	There will be a zombie apocalypse.
	I mean, this is the beginning of it.
	These are the first reports.
	What else is a naked man doing, chewing and eating another guy's face?
	And it's so bad that the cops can't tase him.
	The cops shot him.
	Two to the head.
	Double tap.
	That's what you gotta do with the zombie.
	Yeah, you gotta say, hey zombie, hey you!
	Double tap.
	That's the only way to get rid of him.
	Why else would the cops shoot him?
	The guy's naked.
	He's unarmed.
	Wow.
	Well, you tell me.
	I'm not saying anything because these zombie stories are cropping up.
	Now there's supposedly some zombie people getting zombified from eating the wrong food or taking the wrong medicine.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We'll see.
	I do want to do a mea culpa.
	I mixed up Nicaragua with Honduras.
	Oh, that's very bad.
	But I think the point I was making was valid, but the location was invalid.
	We forgive you.
	We forgive you.
