	All those lists suck.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 28, 2013.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 491.
	This is no agenda.
	T-minus one to U.S. austerity.
	From the Travis Heights hideout on the east side of South Congress in Austin, the capital of the drone star state.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the FedEx trucks are rolling, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Wait a minute.
	Did you say Silicon Valley?
	Silicon.
	No, I think you said Silicon and I kind of liked it.
	Silicon.
	Yeah, Silicon.
	Sell-a-con.
	You know what I mean?
	Sell-a-con.
	Sell-a-con.
	I like it.
	I stumbled onto something.
	I think it's a genius, genius discovery.
	Sell-a-con.
	Speaking of which, just before we started this program, Sometimes known as...
	The best podcast in the universe!
	You were doing something and I came up with a genius money-making idea that will take us out of a life of poverty, will put us into the mode where this show will just be a hobby.
	Okay.
	I'm in.
	Great!
	I'll send you the contract.
	Just sign it.
	Don't worry about it.
	Here it is.
	Ready?
	Yeah.
	Manuals on tape.
	Oh.
	Now, the reason why this is a genius idea is because I was listening to you doing a sound check, and you were reading a manual for a printer.
	And I'm like, this is, I mean, screw Audible.
	This is what I want.
	I mean, I want to put my earbuds in, and I want the dulcet tones of John C. Dvorak to explain to me how to set up my printer.
	Go.
	Go.
	One, when you see a screen like this one, which makes it difficult, but it's screen number one, verify that the settings are correct.
	If you need to change the setting, press back until you see the setting you need to change.
	Once you have verified that your network settings are correct, press OK to save the settings and return to the network settings menu.
	Press the home button to exit the network settings menu.
	On your computer, connect to the wireless network's name you created on page 17.
	Now go to the end.
	I want the payoff when you successfully set up your printer.
	There's got to be a payoff.
	Continue with install software.
	I think this is great.
	And we could have a little database.
	You know what I mean?
	A little database where you say, oh, how do I install that printer again?
	It could be a little, it would be little segments and then you'd click on the different ones and you'd hear it as you were doing it.
	Then you didn't have to go back and forth.
	You know, there's possibilities here.
	And I think that the branding is you in a superhero suit.
	You know, like a spandex thing?
	Not a sport jacket with a bunch of question marks all over it?
	That'll work too.
	Hey, before we start anything, I want to tease what I'm going to be talking about for a little while.
	Do you mean you want to stake your claim?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Play the Shrimpton alternate teaser...
	The Shrimpton alternate teaser, and then you tell me when you want me to talk about, to brawl some of these clips.
	Since you're talking about people who are on television, people who are high profile, you have to murder the children in order to protect your asset.
	So for the Germans, it was essential that the boys that were being taken onto the yacht, that was a death ride.
	When Jimmy Savile was taking, let's say, a 14-year-old boy down to Morning Cloud, handing him over to Everteeth or a member of the crew on the yacht, it was a death ride.
	That was that boy's last journey on Earth.
	So for five years, almost 500 episodes, you could tune in to the best podcast in the universe, and you could probably hear something about the pedo bear.
	And now that it's popular culture, are you going to take this from me?
	Is that what you're saying?
	I'm not taking anything.
	I just found a good clip.
	Looks like you got a whole rack of them.
	Yeah.
	It was a good one.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'll tell you.
	It's a funny story about this character, and no one wants to talk about his book, or no one wants to interview him.
	This all came from Bristol Community FM Radio.
	Where's this?
	Bristol in the UK? Yeah.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Now, this has been going on, this Elm House.
	Have you followed this at all?
	Elm House?
	Love it.
	This is really your specialty.
	I just happen to intrude once in a while.
	That's what I'm doing today.
	It's been so rampant and so bad, all this pedo bear stuff going on in the UK. I haven't even been bringing it up.
	I think I've put people onto the...
	Well, the reason I got onto it because this guy accuses the EU. Oh, really?
	The European Commission of being behind the whole thing.
	Alright, roll it.
	And German intelligence.
	Alright, alright, alright.
	Give me some.
	Give me a little bit now.
	I need some more.
	Well, let me play the other teaser.
	Play the original teaser.
	Um...
	Teaser.
	Yeah, yeah, I got it.
	Okay, alright.
	Good.
	This is good for me.
	His theory that the boys have been buried in the grounds of the nursing home is a perfectly reasonable one.
	A good copper.
	Good theory, but wrong.
	The boys were in fact being taken to a boat.
	It happened to be a Batiste boat or yacht.
	And they were murdered and thrown overboard.
	So there's no point, sadly, in looking for their graves.
	They don't have any grave except the sea.
	That's why the BBC and the Cabinet Office have been so keen to protect Savile.
	That's why the Cabinet Office in the 1980s were willing to back Savile.
	Savile to the point of giving him a position of authority at Broadmoor, which is an absolute...
	You know, you don't put a pedophile in charge of Broadmoor.
	This is like putting a lunatic in charge of the asylum or a drunk in charge of a brewery.
	Yeah, that pretty much sums up the past five years of my work right here.
	Grant, no, this is great.
	It's a little too early, I think, to lay into this.
	I can put it off.
	No, this is great.
	This is a great teaser.
	Maybe it would be apropos.
	For us to talk very briefly, because I'm watching the telescreens.
	And if you've never heard of the word telescreen, you might want to read George Orwell's 1984.
	I've been looking at the telescreens, and I actually spent...
	Is that our new official name for the television?
	Yes, telescreen, yes.
	Okay.
	And I saw, they had a live shot of the helicopter coming to drop the Pope off.
	I mean, literally, they have aerial shots of this.
	It's like they're narrating the Pope leaving.
	In his Augusta.
	Augusta Bell, I should say.
	Nice, nice aircraft, the 109.
	And I have done some more work after you, of course, set me on the path along with the impeccable Reverend Manning about what is really going on with what I'm calling Pope and Change.
	And I think there's two things.
	There's the public-facing theory, but then there's also what is going on on a much, much larger scale.
	So maybe we just wind the clock back a little bit to...
	Well, CNN's talking about it, in particular Don Lemon, but you know it's got to be...
	The story for the slaves.
	There's another developing story to tell you about.
	It's a sex scandal, a money scandal, and a cover-up scandal.
	And the names named go to the top of the Catholic Church.
	Here's what got the Vatican in rumor control mode this weekend.
	Some media outlets in Italy say they have uncovered the real reason Pope Benedict is stepping down.
	Now, you know when Don Lemon says it, it's not going to be the real reason.
	It is a reason for sure.
	The real reason he's stepping down.
	And church officials are doing something they almost never do.
	They're going public, saying it is not true.
	And CNN's Ben Wienemann has the very latest for us.
	Ben?
	On February 11th, Pope Benedict XVI shocked the world, announcing he was stepping down at the end of the month, too old and too tired to conduct his official duties.
	But reports broken in two leading Italian publications, La Repubblica and Panorama, suggest his reason for resigning was far more explosive.
	Shock at the discovery of a network of gay priests at the Vatican, blackmailed by a network of male prostitutes.
	According to the reports, the results of an investigation...
	I just get this weird visual of a bunch of gay male prostitutes coming up to the Vatican like, Hello, sister!
	I'm gonna tell!
	Bitch, I'm going public!
	Publica!
	You just got a short visual of that.
	It just doesn't feel right to me.
	...by three cardinals assigned to look into wrongdoing at the Vatican were submitted to Pope Benedict on December 17th last year.
	The reports say the dossier also suggests serious financial improprieties within the Vatican amounting to violations of the Sixth and Seventh Commandments, Thou shalt not steal and thou shalt not commit adultery.
	So I think they did a really good job putting this cover, this front together, which of course is I think pretty much bull crap for the reasons I just explained.
	I've met several male prostitutes.
	And they just don't seem like the blackmail type or the type that can't be intimidated.
	Well, actually, prostitutes in general can't exist if this becomes rampant and they will be killed by their own type.
	Yeah, and they'd ruin the business.
	It just doesn't happen that way.
	Of course, it happens on House of Cards.
	On Netflix.
	No, there's a couple things.
	First of all, the improprieties and the financial dealings of the bank.
	There's certainly something going on there.
	I think they owe 300 million euros to the bank, the European Central Bank.
	So there's all kinds of shenanigans happening there.
	But there's another angle to this.
	And this, I think, is, again, one of the many...
	This is probably the catalyst.
	And we have a documentary coming out.
	I think it will air on HBO by the same guy who made Smartest Guys in the Room, which I liked, the Enron documentary.
	You saw that one, didn't you, John?
	Oh, yeah.
	That was a good documentary.
	I thought.
	Well, it was entertaining.
	Did you not think it was accurate or well put together?
	There were some flaws in it, as I recall, that were important, but whatever.
	It matters not.
	It doesn't affect anything.
	So the same guy put together a documentary called Mia Maxima Culpa.
	And it's coming out in, I think, just a couple weeks.
	And here's a little blurb about it, as discussed on the BBC. Director Alex Gidney is releasing an investigation of paedophilia committed by Roman Catholic priests, a scandal that overshadowed the current papacy and will become a major issue for Benedict's successor.
	With even more painful topicality, the documentary alleges that the present Pope, when as Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, who was a member of the Vatican Civil Service, was part of a deliberate strategy of covering up sexual abuse.
	In the film, Patrick Wall, a former Benedictine monk, expresses surprise at what he says happened when he was asked to investigate claims of paedophilia by priests in America.
	I thought I was going there to uncover the crime, to heal the wounds.
	I thought it was pastoral care.
	You know, comfort the afflicted, what we're ordained for.
	But the people sending me in obviously had ulterior motives.
	You know, they would give you authorization up to $250,000 to settle a case if you could get a confidentiality order.
	And in 1995, we had a budget of $7 million to handle the various problems of childhood sexual abuse.
	That's the worldwide policy.
	To snuff out scandal.
	A scene from Mayor Maxima Culper, written and directed by Alex Gibney, who made the Oscar-nominated Enron the smartest guys in the room.
	So...
	I think that the catalyst probably for what is happening here is we have Ratzinger, whose entire job was to come in and clean it all up.
	And the way he decided to clean it up was buying everybody off.
	That's not a big secret, but now we do have a couple of whistleblowing cardinals or whatever they are, fluteblowing cardinals, who literally talk about the $250,000 shut-up money the budget just one guy had for his diocese, I presume.
	And now that that's all kind of put together, and it's not only done, but now it's starting to kind of come out, I think it was time for the Pope to go, well, I'll leave, and then, oh, we'll bring in a new guy!
	No!
	Isn't it good that we got rid of that?
	And what I understand is that the Pope actually...
	Or the artist formerly known as Pope, will continue to live in the Vatican after he resigns, which will provide him with 100% privacy.
	Of course, he retains his security.
	So, you know, they can't arrest him.
	You will not see him at the International Criminal Court or any place like that.
	But what's really interesting is who's going to come next.
	And this is where I think there is kind of a New World Order agenda at play.
	And this may sound a little crazy.
	Surprise.
	Now, if you look at what President Obama has brought to the United States, which is not just him.
	It's been a process of several presidents, Republican and Democrat.
	We are very much moving towards a Marxist slash socialist system where it has to be fair.
	Everyone does their fair share.
	You know, the American dream is, you know, you get to retire.
	Would you say that that's a fair assessment of what has happened over the past...
	Forty years, John?
	Just getting by.
	Right, just getting by, but we all share, and we pitch in, and the richest people have to pay their fair share and a little bit more.
	So it is kind of a Marxist, socialist-type system that we're moving into, much more like the United States of Europe, which is very much there already.
	But there is a...
	So it's referred to as the modern welfare state.
	Right, but you would agree that that is Marxist at its core.
	Maybe not.
	Maybe you disagree.
	Well, I would say by current definitions, yes.
	I think we need to keep our eye on the Jesuit cardinals.
	Now, the Jesuit cardinals, the Jesuits in general, from what I understand, I'm not...
	You know, this is where we need...
	What's his name?
	Padre SJ or whatever from Twit.
	That's the guy I've got to ask about this.
	We have a lot of Catholic priests that are...
	Jesuits specifically.
	More or less give us the...
	The background on this, and I suspect that between now and next Thursday, they will have a couple of notes.
	But go on.
	Specifically, Jesuits are, if you look at South America, they are very much, they come from a Marxist background.
	And I believe the next pope, and it could even be, I looked up a couple, here's one that's being talked about, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and he's in Argentina.
	So having a brown-skinned Pope would be great by itself, but to have a Jesuit slash Marxist Pope could really be the next piece that is needed for the entire New World Order system of everybody be together, get together, pay your fair share, shut up slaves.
	And be exploited by the elites.
	Yes, correct.
	So I think that is the more important thing while everyone's looking at the pedophilia angle.
	No one is really talking.
	It's like, oh, just these bunch of guys will go in the room and we'll wait for some smoke and then magically it appears.
	Now, there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
	This Pope business, the guy, this is, something is happening here that is extremely important.
	Put it in the red book if you don't mind.
	The Argentinian guy?
	Jesuit cardinal.
	I don't know if it's the Argentinian guy, but I'd say a Jesuit.
	I've just been reading a lot.
	You know...
	Here's an article.
	My favorite thing you read about this is the possibility of Francis Areens, I think is his name, who's the black guy, becoming the Pope.
	Is he a Jesuit?
	I don't know.
	What's his name?
	Areens.
	Cardinal, obviously.
	Yeah, it has to be.
	Cardinal.
	I mean, you can't just leapfrog.
	Either that or just elect Bill Clinton.
	In the morning.
	How did you come up with that?
	Francis Areens, you said?
	I thought that was it, but here's another black guy that could be the Pope.
	He is the Roman Catholic Cardinal from Ghana, currently president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
	Sounds good.
	Sounds like a lot of window dressing.
	His name is...
	Turkson.
	T-U-R-K-S-O-N. Well, I think we've got to look for one of these Jesuit guys.
	I don't know that they tell us anything about their order.
	If you read these articles, because typically these news reporters don't even know what that means.
	Jesuit, huh?
	There's other things we could put in the story?
	We get no background on any of this.
	No.
	It looks like a kick-ass.
	No.
	No, of course, there's zero background, but that's kind of what makes it so interesting.
	And I got a lot of hate mail for us laughing about this whole thing.
	And people were like, yeah, no, it was CC to you.
	Was it because you were mocking the church?
	I guess I was.
	I guess I was.
	People don't like that.
	This whole thing is, oh, the Pope, he's nothing.
	It's the office of the Pope.
	That's what's important.
	Here's the other guy.
	It's Cardinal Francis Aurens, A-R-I-N-Z-E of Nigeria.
	And they can make a lot of money with this guy in office using letters.
	What do you mean?
	From Nigeria.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	I am the Pope.
	I am the Pope.
	I have all this money for you.
	I have nine million in the bank, in the Vatican Bank.
	Trying to get it out.
	All right, we're going to hell now.
	For sure.
	That's the first thing you think of when you think of a Nigerian.
	Yeah.
	I have an idea.
	I have an idea how to make more money for the church.
	Whenever I get a Nigerian cab driver here, and Austin has a little community of Nigerian cab drivers.
	I always say, hey, I got a letter from your cousin.
	I got a letter.
	They get the joke, by the way.
	Oh, it does, because it's a major part of the economy.
	Yeah, they think it's very funny.
	Yeah, I'm sure they think it's funny that all the people that get suckered.
	They got some really good new letters that have come out recently.
	They really cover up the idea that it's a Nigerian scam letter because there's no Nigerian connection anymore.
	Except when you start looking into it and you find some sort of a phone in Nigeria.
	Wait, are you telling me that people outside of Nigeria are now onto this and they're using their patented...
	No, no, I think they're still Nigerians.
	Oh, okay.
	In Nigeria.
	I think they've...
	Even though most Nigerian scam letters still say they're from Nigeria.
	Okay.
	Which is like, how stupid can people possibly be?
	Well, the other one I like is, I was a platoon sergeant in Iraq.
	Yeah, and I found all this money.
	This pallet of money, and we need to expose this, and I want you to help with the money part.
	I've actually read through one of those, because I get weird emails.
	I read through most of them, because I think they're very creative.
	I got an email from a TSA employee, which I would like to share with the group, because there's a tip in here, a handy tip.
	Play it.
	It's not a clip.
	It's an email.
	It's from an anonymous TSA employee, a big fan.
	Believed to be legitimate?
	Yes, believed to be completely legitimate.
	So this is after we were talking about the three-year-old girl and the TSA Nazi saying that you can't film here even though you can.
	So it's quite a long email.
	I'm going to skip into the pertinent part.
	Most of the people I work with don't trust a word the government tells us.
	And we do everything we can to help people without breaking the rules.
	This is what our TSA stooge says.
	Rules can be bent, so we do our best to do so in the favor of the traveling public.
	I hope I don't get too to the head for this email, but that remains to be seen.
	Indeed.
	Even if you scold me for this email on your next show, I will still listen, and as soon as I can either find a second job or get full-time for TSA, I will make a substantial donation.
	Of course, that is if you are okay with receiving your soiled taxpayer money back from the government through a TSA employee, likely laced with glitter from strippers and coke.
	I think that's even better than the average donation.
	That's a benefit.
	The issue with recording being prohibited in some airports and blah, blah, blah.
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	He says, the problem, I hate to be defending the idiots.
	I'd say the organization is so bloated, has so much bureaucracy, the rules change every three months, which makes it very difficult to stay current.
	It does not excuse the language used and the stern tone or the requirement not to film.
	I'm definitely an advocate of small government, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay.
	Here's a tip.
	If you've read to this email so far, if you fly regularly, all you have to do to avoid opting out or going through the AIT, Advanced Imaging Technology Body Scanner, is tell the person directing you to one of those places that you are unable to lift your arm over your head And then you will be considered ineligible for AIT screening and thus will have not opted out either.
	This means that you will walk instead through the metal detector and not receive a pat down.
	I suggest you pass this on during your show.
	Holy crap, that's a great one.
	If it's true.
	Tip of the day.
	We need a tip of the day theme.
	Well, someone needs to try this immediately.
	I'm not traveling for a little bit.
	So you have to say, listen, I have a medical condition.
	I cannot lift my arms above my head.
	And apparently, you will then get the magnetometer and no pat-down.
	I can't wait to try it.
	Are you flying anytime soon?
	No, I'm trying to avoid going anywhere.
	Furthermore, just one last note from our TSA stooge.
	We need a name for our TSA stooge.
	TSA Stude sounds pretty good.
	One last note on the pre-check system that has been introduced and discussed by Mr.
	Pistol.
	It is the biggest sham I have seen.
	The idea that a citizen of the U.S. is required to go through a background check and interview process so that they can finally be treated like a human being again during the screening process is unbelievable.
	Not only is it extremely unfair, it also decreases security.
	My concern when the idea was first mentioned to us was that it...
	That all it would take is a terrorist to kidnap a person's family who was on the pre-checklist and require them to smuggle something through as they go through less security than the average passenger, which actually means being on the pre-checklist could actually make you a target.
	That's a good point.
	Yeah.
	I'm thinking our TSA stooge is the real deal.
	We hadn't even thought about that.
	No, I hadn't thought about it.
	I was thinking about one of the things I was thinking about was kind of this reverse.
	You know, unintended consequences is a theme that we don't really...
	A lot of the stuff we do, we never really...
	It never evolves into unintended consequences like that.
	Right.
	And that was the thing about the sequester.
	Because I was in a discussion about it.
	In fact, I have this sequester clip so I get a feeling for what this is.
	This is taking place tomorrow.
	Can we just finally call it what it is?
	And just call it austerity?
	I mean, the rest of the world calls it austerity.
	Why do we have to call it sequester?
	That's a good point.
	So we'll just call it austerity from now on?
	I can go for that.
	No one will know what we're talking about.
	Six days and counting.
	And the fear mounting.
	And that rhymed!
	A tremor will hit the American economy.
	Thousands of parents will have to scramble to find childcare for their kids.
	Sequestration would be destructive to our nation's security.
	Furloughs of air traffic controllers will cost us 750,000 jobs.
	Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off.
	Houses burning, crazies roaming, seniors starving, criminals fleeing, and don't even think about eating.
	What?
	Wait a minute.
	This is where we need...
	Did you put that together?
	No, I stole it.
	Can I do my 18-second ABC version of that?
	Yeah, do it.
	Each day, the White House's list of terrible things caused by the cuts grows longer, including flight delays, kids losing vaccines, and meat shortages.
	Now the Department of Homeland Security says it has been forced to release hundreds of undocumented workers back into the United States.
	I think that all of these guys really missed it.
	You know, before we get into the meat and potatoes of it, so-called, I mean, don't you think that we, you know, if they had called upon the illustrious Curry Dvorak Consulting Group, that, you know, we know how to do this stuff?
	Yeah.
	I mean, we...
	Well, you know...
	Do the voiceover.
	Do the voiceover.
	What am I going to be...
	One more day and counting!
	Mr.
	Crister!
	Meat shortages!
	It's going to be Armageddon!
	Armageddon, I tell you, fighting in the streets!
	We'll be kidding each other!
	Kidding!
	We're going back to bed!
	Kind of sweetened it a little bit.
	Well, I'm doing it on the fly.
	I heard one on the radio that I think it was on Hucklebee or somebody.
	Hucklebee, yeah.
	Hucklebee.
	It was my favorite.
	It was a beauty.
	I mean, it went on for days.
	And most of these are all sourced from the WhiteHouse.gov.
	I know, it's great.
	So, anyway, so I'm talking, you know, and we have to remember that this sequester or this austerity thing is essentially a cutback in the increases in the budget.
	Yes.
	There'll still be more spent than last year.
	Yes.
	So I don't see how it can have such an unbelievable impact unless these guys are all planning to really spend this money and it was already spent.
	That's what I'm thinking is a distinct possibility.
	Yeah, so the money's already spent.
	Now they're freaked.
	Well, they've got contracts.
	The government can't just back out of these contracts.
	There's all kinds of kill clauses.
	And heads will roll, for sure.
	But they always point towards the human resources.
	The slaves are going to get it.
	It's not like the drone program or the strike fighter, which is a disaster.
	You don't hear me talking about that.
	It's always about the slaves.
	Yeah, it's always the slaves.
	So...
	I was in a discussion over dinner with J.C., Buzzkill Jr., and he mentioned, he said, well, there are going to be some actual cuts.
	I said, well, these are just cuts and increases.
	No, there's some, and I guess some whatever information he's getting.
	I guess there are some departments in government, because everyone has to take a certain piece of this, that are actually going to be cut.
	And I started to think about it.
	I don't know whether it's true or not, but I can see an unintended consequence of all this.
	Which is that, let's say you're Department A and you have plans for a 20% budget increase.
	Hold on a second.
	I am Department A, 20% budget decrease.
	And I'm Department B, and I'm an honest guy.
	You're not.
	I am a dishonest a-hole.
	And so I've got a 2%.
	In fact, I think I can get by next year with my exact same budget because I'm essentially...
	Because you're a manager.
	You're doing your best for the American public.
	I'm doing what I should be doing.
	I've got no budget increases as the roller skate inspector.
	I am going to fuck you.
	And so you are getting a 20%.
	So they come along with the sequester.
	They say, okay, both you guys have to give up $2 billion.
	And I'm thinking, wait a minute.
	I don't have any.
	All he's doing is giving up $2 billion of his increase, and he's still getting more money than I'm going to get.
	I have to give up a real $2 billion.
	This encourages...
	Budget bloat.
	Because I've learned my lesson.
	We know this.
	There's nothing new here.
	You have to spend your budget every year.
	Otherwise, your budget decreases.
	You have to ask for a lot more than you would have normally.
	Right.
	I think it's going to make it go crazy, because if they ever pull this thing back, this thing's going to spiral out of control with demands for more money.
	It's outrageous.
	It's funny you bring that up, and I was amazed by this, and I think that maybe this is...
	I don't know.
	Ray LaHood seems like he is not in good graces.
	Certainly not with Adele.
	He doesn't seem like he's in good graces with his own brain.
	So he was on Adele Crowley's show there on CNN. Everyone there is Adele now.
	And she actually nailed him on something which he just had no answer for.
	The budget committee took...
	And I don't know why she did it, whose pocket she's in, but she did it.
	Look at some of these numbers.
	And they found that post-sequester, your post-sequester total at FAA Ops and Facilities and Equipment is going to be about $500 million more than 2008.
	And the planes were running just fine.
	So what I'm trying to figure out, as you know, people are saying the administration is exaggerating this.
	So if you're going to be having totals, inflation adjusted, at 2008 levels, why all of this sturm und drang about, oh my goodness, all the planes are going to be late?
	First of all...
	We're required to cut a billion dollars.
	The largest number of employees at DOT is at FAA, of which the largest number are FAA controllers.
	Get the slaves!
	We're going to try and cut as much as we possibly can out of contracts and other things that we do.
	But in the end, there has to be some kind of furlough of air traffic control...
	Air traffic controllers, and that then will also begin to curtail or eliminate the opportunity for them to guide planes in and out of airports.
	It's a big part of our budget.
	Is it true that domestic flights are down 27% from pre-9-11 levels, and the budget of the FAA is up 41%?
	Look it.
	Look it.
	This is my favorite.
	Hey, look it.
	Hey, you, look it.
	You're asking me questions.
	Why am I here to answer questions?
	Look it.
	Don't do that.
	Fairmines have consolidated.
	We've approved some of those consolidations.
	And in doing that, you know, a certain...
	There's less traffic.
	There's less traffic, of course.
	Of course.
	But shut up.
	More budget.
	Well, look it.
	Budgets have, you know, go up and down.
	But the bottom line here is that there's sequester required.
	It's Way to go, Ms.
	Crowley.
	Somebody did that.
	I was impressed.
	I have no idea why she did it, though.
	I just don't get it.
	But there's all kinds of shills in this game.
	Have you been watching...
	By the way, before you mention that, they keep talking about...
	One of our producers sent me a note.
	I think you got it, too.
	Saying, why does the number 22 keep coming up?
	22 days.
	Oh, 22 days of furlough.
	22 days, 22 days.
	That's a very sacred Illuminati number, 22.
	Well, actually, it's a contract number.
	All government contracts.
	You cannot furlough anybody by contract more than 22 days a year.
	Oh, really?
	So they maxed it out and said, that's it.
	No one ever says 23.
	Interesting.
	I tell you, it's an Illuminati number, 22.
	Whatever the case is, it's bogus.
	The whole thing is a crock, and the public is just lapping it up.
	And the media is, too.
	They're not helping.
	Except Candy here, and she didn't...
	Adele.
	Who watches that?
	Adele.
	By the way, if you're listening to this program, do not be alarmed.
	For the next two and a half hours, we're merely suspending the matrix so you can have a little peek.
	If you get too afraid, if you feel dizzy, just close your eyes.
	Turn off this podcast.
	It'll all go away.
	Life will return to normal.
	You'll get even more out of it.
	It'll all go away.
	It reminds me of the Universal Studios tour where you go on that stupid train and you go through the tunnel that's spinning.
	Have you ever done that train in Universal Studios on the tour?
	Best one in L.A.? Yeah.
	Yeah, no, I've only been to Universal in Florida.
	I'll never forget because I was a kid when we went, maybe like nine or something.
	And it was kind of scary because this was the tunnel.
	You get on this train and I think it was an episode of maybe the Bionic Man or something.
	Or Bionic Woman, Six Million Dollar Man, whatever.
	And it was spinning, and you're in this tunnel, and of course the tunnel isn't spinning, but there's a blue and white disc that's spinning around, and you feel crazy.
	And the tour guide literally says, if you feel dizzy, just look down at the ground, and it'll all go away.
	And that's kind of how I feel about this show.
	We need a clip of that.
	Yeah, we should get a clip.
	I'm sure some of those people who work there listen to the show while they're doing the tour.
	Yeah, get us some clips from these places.
	So go to sxsw.curry.com.
	All right, hold on.
	sxsw.curry.com.
	I think we get a kick out of this.
	So, you know, they invited me to do something at South by Southwest because, of course, I live here and I'm cheap because, you know, there's no travel cost.
	Not that they pay for it anyway.
	Just getting by in new media?
	Yeah.
	Do you like it?
	Currently, a self-titled government analyst, Adam Curry, reads legislation, watches C-SPAN, deconstructs the media, and reports his findings twice weekly on his listener-supported No Agenda podcast.
	Last summer, he toured the U.S. to meet and talk personally with his listeners.
	You don't have to read the whole thing.
	It's okay.
	You don't have to read the whole thing.
	To get a deeper sense of the impact of his efforts, to help people understand what drives the media and the future of the value-for-value model, Anyway, it goes on with your history.
	Right.
	So they're like, you know, they might be giants.
	Who, by the way, I was prepping to interview them, as that was the original deal.
	They've bailed because they couldn't get a gig playing in town, I guess.
	Which makes sense.
	They've got to pay their own way to South by Southwest, not get paid to do anything.
	If they can't get a gig, they should do something else.
	Their new album is...
	Outstanding.
	Ooh.
	They might be giants.
	Oh.
	You should really have a listen to this, because they kind of...
	A clip?
	Well, I have this one.
	That's a whole song, actually.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	They got all kinds of crazy, like, Illuminati, you know, New World Order type stuff, but all kind of done in this Richard Cheese type of vibe.
	You know, the typical they might be giants.
	Anyway, so they bail, and the guy says, well, you want to just talk?
	Like, yeah, sure.
	You were supposed to interview them?
	Yeah.
	Oh, that was the original gig.
	That was the original gig.
	And so they're not coming.
	He's like, well, you want to just do the talk?
	I'm like, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Give a 25, 30-minute speech.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, that's it.
	Value for value, just getting by in new media.
	I thought it was kind of catchy.
	Yeah.
	No, that's good.
	Yeah.
	Maybe I can take this on the road and make some real money.
	Good luck.
	Here we go.
	I think the spreadsheet appears to be in.
	So let us thank our...
	Hopefully we have executive producers.
	Then I definitely would like to talk about the entertainment industrial complex, which we've had to deal with.
	For the past couple days.
	Let me see.
	This is very annoying.
	This phone is ringing here.
	I have a phone ringing.
	Congratulations.
	Yes.
	Hold on one second.
	Okay.
	I'm holding.
	While I'm holding, we can probably...
	My phone off the hook.
	It started ringing, and it was Mimi during the DHM Plug show.
	Really?
	Yeah, let's thank a few of our executive producers for show 491, including Random Hillbilly in Elkins, West Virginia, and he'll be our executive producer.
	Random Hillbilly here.
	FYO, I skipped the second feedback section.
	But do what makes Adam whine less.
	Really?
	Oh, I see what he said.
	It's about the reading of these things.
	Well, keep whining.
	Maybe Random Hillbilly will keep giving us $3.33.
	My spreadsheet won't open here.
	I've got a real problem.
	Noel Oaks in Oatley, New South Wales.
	$300.
	I'm a douche of the highest order, having listened to hundreds of shows and never donated a cent until now.
	Hopefully, you'll receive $300 as per above receipt to help me make amends.
	I will donate again when I can.
	Thanks for the great show.
	And can I have a douchebag followed by a de-douching karma?
	You bet.
	Douchebag. - You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, the old Mac is struggling a little bit here today.
	Christine Mickelson in Wenatchee, Washington, 23333, another associate executive producer.
	Heil, Skip, and Biff.
	Heil, everybody!
	It's a high donation.
	She says, hell yeah, Washington State, greatest podcast in the universe.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	You mean she's high?
	Yeah.
	If I can't do a female, hi.
	You can give it a try, at least.
	Hi!
	Ah, hell yeah, Washington State.
	There you go.
	Greatest podcast in the universe.
	Hot diggity, you two rock.
	Amazing deconstruction.
	I don't know why she's from Jersey.
	Maybe they smoke a lot of pot.
	She's not from Jersey.
	Don't say these things.
	She wants a Hot Pockets Karma shot and an LGY. Okay, we can give you a Hot Pockets Karma LGY. Hot Pockets!
	You've got Karma.
	Yay!
	There you go.
	Thank you, Christine.
	And then we have Alex Kroak in New York, New York City, 201.
	Still a great show.
	Thank you.
	I like a smaller donation segment.
	I just like some karma to my documentary project filmed in New York, the www.ule.com.
	And it's about something or other.
	It was really poor.
	Let me see what it is here.
	U-L-U-L-E. Yeah, well, that's just the site.
	I don't know what in Italian.
	It is called Hope the New Migrations.
	Le Nuovo Migrazzoni, and it is a documentary, 60% completed, which they seek financial support necessary to finish.
	Well, good luck.
	For $7, you could jump right in.
	And you become an executive producer?
	Let me see.
	For $7...
	See, they're not doing this right.
	Oh, for $7...
	It's Italian, apparently.
	It doesn't say executive producer.
	It's got to be in there somewhere.
	And finally, last executive producer for today's show, 491, is Robert Alter in Kansas City, Missouri.
	They don't have a note from him at $200.
	I want to thank them and everybody else who helps support this show with producerships, executive producerships and whatnot.
	And I remind you to go to Dvorak.org slash NA, channeldvorak.com slash NA, or you can hit the donate button at both Noagendanation.com and noagendashow.com and continue to keep the show going the way it's going.
	And you will not be disappointed today.
	We have a lot of great deconstruction for you.
	I think we've already started some of it.
	Do we have some specials for our 500th episode, which is coming up on Easter Sunday, the end of March?
	Do we have...
	Do we have like a, since it's 331, are we going to do like, we're going to do something like 31313?
	That would be good.
	31313.
	That's perfect.
	It's perfect.
	I'm a genius.
	You are.
	31313.
	There you go.
	Fill it out any way you want.
	Or 500.
	Do we have these pre-programmed?
	I do know, but now that you mention 31313, I'm putting it in.
	I'm going to rewrite the sheet at Dvorak.org slash NA, the donation, the support page.
	Now, do we get a special 500 page where people can start contributing ahead of hand, beforehand, and then they'll get a double executive producership on the day of?
	I mean, come on, this is what you normally do.
	Anyone who donates $500 gets an executive producership on the spot and then a second one on the show.
	You get exclusive access to John and me.
	And you can call us.
	Yeah, you can call us.
	Yeah.
	How you doing?
	Yeah.
	Good, good.
	What do you want?
	What do you want?
	I want to say hi in the morning.
	This is the big scandal right now that OFA, which is one of these political action committees, that anyone, they've been promising people who donated $500,000 to the president's campaign, they've been promising quarterly meetings with the president.
	President?
	Yeah.
	And they can't deliver, can they?
	Well, I don't know, but the New York Times wrote about this, and this is a huge scandal, and no one will actually deny it.
	They're all saying, well, you know, this is, of course, crazy, but they're not actually denying the fact.
	This is crazy talk.
	$500,000.
	You can go sit with the president, have a little meeting.
	I mean, if I had millions of dollars, hell yeah, just to stick my gum under the desk.
	Yeah, well, actually, that's probably what you'd do exactly.
	Exactly what I'd do.
	So for $500, you get quarterly meetings with us.
	You get access.
	We actually should put together one of these.
	They got a lot of these new conferencing systems.
	Yeah.
	Oh, good idea.
	And we could probably do something like that.
	Yeah.
	We'd have, like, a board meeting of all the nights.
	Yeah.
	We tried this in Vegas, and that failed miserably.
	You remember that, right?
	No.
	Yeah, we were supposed to put together a dinner.
	Oh, the dinner.
	Well, that's different because that's a timing thing, and everyone has to go to Vegas.
	At a teleconference, they can be sitting in their bathtub.
	So, wait a minute.
	Should we have a patrons of no agenda board meeting?
	I think that's a good idea.
	Interesting.
	Well, you can do it on, like, talk shoot.
	We could do it on Mumble, for Christ's sakes.
	You can have a million people in Mumble.
	How many people can you have on Mumble?
	How big is your server?
	I'm sure Void Zero can set someone up who can have a million people in it.
	Or we can just do like a talk shoe thing.
	Do we record this and give it out later?
	Or is it just exclusive access?
	Exclusive access, slaves.
	Not for you.
	No!
	Alright, I do want to thank...
	Actually, what I would like to say...
	Our art.
	No, I wanted to say something else.
	I wanted to say, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	Oh, in the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and also to the dames and knights out there.
	That's right.
	Also to our human resources in the chatroom, NoAgendaStream.com, NoAgendaChat.net.
	Our artists always there and in place to bring us great art.
	I mean, Banksy has nothing on our artists.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	There's always a link.
	Banksy contributing any art to our show.
	Screw Banksy.
	Nick the Rat, thank you for the episode 490 artwork.
	And I'd also like to thank, let's see, here we go, Ramsey, Ramsey Kane, NoAgendaCD.com.
	Did you get your package of CDs yet?
	Yeah, I got a big box of CDs, including, I have to say, they did a great job, and they look printed.
	I mean, they look like they're actually manufactured as opposed to burned.
	Right, and so you're going to start giving these away, obviously.
	Oh, he's got a bunch of them with a little Korean thing in there.
	Because I mentioned this on the show, and he knew this, is that in the Korean area, which is down in Redwood City, or further south, is Mountain View somewhere.
	Anyway, there's a little Korean community that has this great supermarket.
	We go there every once in a while.
	It's a fantastic place, monstrous.
	And outside, they have all these...
	Where they have the free newspapers and stuff.
	But the Koreans, instead of giving out free newspapers, they give out CDs.
	So there are stacks of different kinds of CDs.
	So we're going to go down there and put our stack of CDs.
	Excellent.
	Pick up some Korean listeners.
	From North Korea, hopefully.
	So Ramsey sent me this note, like a country song.
	Because he sent me shipments on its way.
	I know it's bad form without a donation, but our house is being auctioned off from under us.
	Terrible.
	The family and I need to find a new place to live.
	We put an application on a rental in the neighborhood we want to live in, but we're not sure we'll get it.
	It's tough to find a place when you have a dog, two slavelets, a third one on the way.
	I'm like, man.
	Yeah, it's terrible.
	Yeah, let me give the guy a little bit of karma because he's really helping us out.
	Appreciate it.
	You've got karma.
	A little New World Order fighting karma.
	Thank you to Zofia, ZofiaArt.com, who sent me one of her beautiful pieces of art for the new Travis Heights hideout.
	And I have here, John, next time we see each other, I'll give you yours, from Lukasz from Poland.
	He gave us two of these name tags, military name tags, with ISAF on it, which, of course, is the Afghan security forces.
	And so it has Curry, Adam, and then my name in Arabic, and it has Dvorak, John C., and then your name below it in Arabic, with the Velcro on the back that you stick on your uniform.
	And it's very nice.
	And I was just looking at this, and I'm like, we have all this...
	You can walk right through security.
	It's one of those things.
	I can't lift my arms.
	Look at my badge.
	And I'm looking at this and I'm like, it's really awesome.
	We have all this military stuff, but we're not actually getting shot at.
	It doesn't feel right.
	It doesn't feel right.
	We're kind of like we're the Betsy Ross of the U.S. Armed Forces.
	We're just dressed up pretty.
	It doesn't feel right.
	Some years ago, a friend of mine who's still a big shot in the security business...
	I guess one of the hackers' conferences, somebody brought a machine and they did a deconstruction of a classic name tag that somebody might be wearing if they worked for the government.
	And they made them for everybody that went to the thing.
	And it consists of their name across the top.
	It was one of those, you know, badges inside of the plastic.
	It had the photo of the guy.
	Then it had a blue stripe that went from corner to corner.
	Then it had a bunch of bull crap, just M-M-N-N, you know, it's just like it was something, meant something.
	Just a bunch of, and a serial number and a different font.
	And the thing looked really slick, and this guy says he has been able to just wander around.
	Oh yeah, just walk around wherever you want to go, right?
	Yeah.
	In fact, this looks extremely official.
	So here's where you can really take advantage of this.
	Boarding first.
	Well, maybe you can do that.
	I don't know how far you can push this, but I didn't realize this until one time I went to Taiwan.
	And one of the women that was...
	Escorting us over from, I think it was Acer, taking us there.
	But she was a PR woman, but she dressed in some funny way that made her look to, for all practical purposes, she looked like a stewardess.
	And we all went to the money exchange spot, and she got a different rate.
	Really?
	She got a better rate?
	Yeah, and then I found out that airline personnel and people in official business and all the rest of it get a different exchange rate.
	It's like 10% better deal.
	So all you have to do is say, we have this badge around you, go up to the exchange booth, just take one look at that, and you get a better deal.
	I say, well, that's outrageous.
	Well, I think they always say, we're going to be boarding, and we'll, of course, board our platinum members and any uniform service personnel.
	I think I just have this thing.
	Just go up.
	I'm kind of on the down low today.
	I've got just a little piece of my uniform here.
	I'm undercover military.
	Anyway, thank you so much.
	We appreciate your help.
	It is important to us.
	This is the value for value model.
	If we're not giving you value, don't give us value.
	If you don't give us value, we don't give you value.
	Capisce?
	Dvorak.org.
	Now, of course, you can always do one thing like NoAgendaCD.com is propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Citizen?
	Chefs!
	Before we get too deep in anything, I'd just like to do something a little light for a moment.
	I received a word from our military contacts.
	In fact, I have the exact wording here.
	That was well prepared, Curry.
	Here it is.
	Consultants and advisors are going in to Syria.
	Expect CW to be deployed, possibly in Europe, to blame AQ. So you know what CW stands for, obviously.
	No, I don't.
	Chemical weapons.
	Continuous wave.
	Chemical weapons.
	Oh, bullcrap.
	Tell you something that's just come into CNN. Sources telling our Elise Labatt at the State Department that the Obama administration is moving toward increasing aid to the Syrian opposition in the form of non-lethal military equipment and military training.
	Now, these changes are being talked about with allies right now as part of Secretary of State John Kerry's meetings in Europe.
	The sources stress the U.S. is not considering providing weapons to the rebels.
	An important distinction, and one will see if it will last.
	Yeah.
	Besides that, of course, a report came out today that U.S.-made M47 anti-tank missiles are being found all over the place in Syria.
	This is what we were talking about when my contact talked about the consultants, the advisors, the DIA, the Delta.
	Remember the AGW, the AWG, Asymmetric Warfare Group?
	These are the 5,000 people they're now sending in.
	And it's DIA, it's CIA. This is what this little news that you just heard here from Aaron Burnett, this actually means we're going in.
	We're full on in.
	And I don't know how these guys even coordinate amongst each other.
	They all hate each other.
	But they're in.
	And this same contact, when he said, I'm worried about Mali, and I said that on this show, one week later, of course we already had this from our economic hitman, but when our military contact said Mali is it, one week later it hit.
	So if he's telling me Syria, it's going to hit, and he's talking about chemical weapons, I tend to believe him.
	Well, they've set us up with the chemical weapon meme really early on.
	If you remember all the news stories, it was like, oh, he's got chemical weapons, oh, is he moving, then we've got to protect the chemical weapons, and we don't even know they have any chemical weapons.
	Well, this is kind of agreed upon.
	This is not the same as Iraq.
	There is agreement about these chemical weapons, and I'm not getting any information to the contrary about Syria's chemical weapons stockpile and that they are dispersed all over the place.
	So I'm thinking, look, I'm just going by what I hear, and so far my contacts have pretty much set me straight when it comes to other things that are going on.
	But what I found interesting was possibly that one of these chemical weapons could be ticked off in Europe to blame AQ and really pull Europe into the whole terror state and everything.
	I mean, that's possible.
	It's not like they haven't been testing all kinds of biological weapons.
	There are kids all over the place going to hospital with strep this, strep that.
	You think this is a coincidence?
	How many kids do you know, or does JC know, that have wound up with lung problems?
	There was a rampant strep outbreak recently in the Ferry Building Merchant area.
	Well, we have it here in Texas.
	I've never seen so much strep, especially during a period of time where the weather is actually quite nice here.
	It's beautiful here.
	We've had 70 degrees.
	In fact, strep is still a thing that just kind of floats around.
	Rarely, rarely does anyone get it.
	But is it a viral infection?
	What is strep exactly?
	Reptococcus is a bacteria.
	Okay.
	And it gets in the throat area, I guess, somehow.
	And then if you don't take care of it, you get rheumatic fever, and then you have a heart problem the rest of your life.
	It's not a good thing to get.
	Yeah, but these young kids, I'm talking in their 20s, are going into the ICU with pneumonia and all kinds of crazy things that are popping up.
	So to me, that means test.
	Well, they've always tested the American public with these things.
	Yeah.
	You know, from the...
	In the 30s and the 40s and the...
	How can you still be alive?
	I don't understand.
	They should be trying people in jail for this, but instead they just, whatever.
	Promote them.
	Yeah, give them a better job.
	Good work.
	Have you seen this?
	This has got to be my favorite.
	Actually, it falls under another jingle heading as well.
	Did you see the latest announcement?
	The Obama administration, it seemed like someone pulled the plug and just everybody left.
	All kind of at the same time, and we never really talk about that.
	I don't know if that's even normal.
	But the new, let's see, it was a recess appointment.
	Chief agricultural negotiator for the U.S. government will be Dr.
	Islam Siddiqui.
	And he still is...
	Siddiqweed.
	Is a long Siddiqweed.
	Dr.
	Islong Siddiqweed.
	He currently is at CropLife America.
	So this is the guy who is going to be in charge of negotiating, I guess, with the agricultural industry about biotech and pesticides.
	Now please go to the CropLifeAmerica website, which you will find at croplifeamerica.org, which is kind of funny.
	Let's see.
	The importance of crop protection products right here on the front page.
	And you really need to go to the about page.
	It's just outstanding who they represent.
	Crop protection?
	Yes.
	Benefits of pesticides.
	This is a total Monsanto shill.
	And he's now been...
	I mean, the guy's been a lobbyist all his life.
	And now he's all of a sudden he's on the other side of the table here to shepherd his buddies in, I guess.
	Well, that reminds me of another screwball story in the ag business.
	And this was the headline in the Huffington Post.
	Aspartame in milk.
	The air industry seeks approval to drop label for artificial sweeteners.
	They're going to start taking the crap milk that they make and then they're going to dump a bunch of...
	A bunch of artificial sweeteners in it.
	I know.
	It's funny because I saw this.
	It's in the show notes from maybe three shows ago because it popped up in the Federal Register where the FDA was opening up for comments.
	But yeah, essentially, who reads this except us?
	The FDA was saying, oh, we think it's okay, first of all, to have milk sweetened at all and then just to call it low sugar.
	Low sugar milk.
	Why do we need to make milk sweet?
	It makes no sense.
	I have no idea.
	They're just trying to move more aspartame or something.
	I have no idea.
	Maybe to make them addicted.
	I have no idea.
	This is like somebody just explained this to me.
	I didn't know this stuff was that weird.
	It was toxic.
	Last week, the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, acknowledged the 2009 petition from the International Dairy Foods Association, obviously an evil operation, IDFA, and the National Milk Producers Federation, that seeks to drop the FDA requirement to label, oh, heaven forbid we label what's in these products, to label milk and other dairy products as artificially sweetened when they contain sweeteners such as aspartame.
	Yeah, episode 489.
	People, look at your labels.
	Obviously, this is against the law to do this right now, but look on your labels.
	See if you're already getting it on there.
	It's very possible that you already have your aspartame in your milk.
	And by the way, aspartame also is a trigger mechanism to make people hungry.
	And one of the reasons probably almost so damn fat.
	It shrinks your brain.
	I have it here.
	So isn't that crazy where it's illegal?
	Some researchers have found that artificial sweeteners alter people's brain chemistry, making them crave higher calorie foods, which in turn makes them more prone to obesity and diabetes.
	But they want this.
	They want it.
	We want it in the milk.
	These guys talk a big game about the health of the public and then they push this crap.
	And then what is the FDA going to do?
	Here it is.
	This is from February 20th.
	Flavored milk.
	This is a little different from what you're reading.
	Petition to amend the standard of identity.
	There you go.
	For milk and 17 additional dairy products.
	Ho ho!
	Filed a petition requesting the agency amend the standard of identity for milk and 17 other dairy products to provide for the use of any safe and suitable sweetener as an optional ingredient.
	FDA is issuing this notice to request comments.
	Since it was all over the news, I'm sure people are up in arms about this.
	Since our news media has informed the public immediately of this outrage.
	Yeah, once in a while that does happen.
	I mean, generally speaking, it's like all these guys, the aspartame people, the soybean people, the...
	The canola people, they have these public relations companies that go out and they, in fact, if you look at this Huffington Post article, which we'll put in the show notes if I remember to send you the link, you can see a shill right in the comments section, talking about how this stuff is safe, it's delicious, it's perfect.
	It's delicious.
	But these guys go so far as to, like high fructose corn syrup, for example, we know it can't be used to make chocolate, it can't be used in a lot of candy making because it's not sugar.
	It's some form that's not the same as sugar.
	That's what we know.
	Their argument is no, it is sugar and we'd like to change it so we don't have to use the name high fructose corn syrup.
	We want to make it either corn sugar and then change it to sugar.
	And we've already seen the corn sugar thing take place.
	But the way they do the propaganda, as exemplified by this clip, which is the show on ABC called Sub Purgatory, which is about a bunch of neurotic women or girls actually in high school.
	Listen to the way they play this.
	This is the opening of the show.
	He was.
	Tessa, when you first started dating my brother, you put me in a very awkward place.
	You think you know somebody.
	You wear their Letterman jacket, you put your tongue on top of their tongue, and you move it around, only to find out that they are a lying liar who lies their lies directly to your face.
	Look, I know how you feel.
	I experienced the same sense of betrayal when I found out the real deal about high fructose corn syrup.
	I mean, sugar is sugar.
	No!
	Am I right?
	No!
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Oh my god.
	So you can take a shit written show and you can still get it on television as long as you have the high fructose corn syrup industry behind you.
	You know, I'm wondering about the writers of this show because I get the sense that they were told to use this line.
	And so they use it in the context of someone who's a lying liar, liar, liar, liar.
	And so the context of that particular comment was in such a negative, kind of a negative envelope.
	No, I disagree.
	I disagree.
	I think they tried to pull, they tried to...
	You've overanalyzed it.
	You heard it too much.
	I heard it for the first time, and it actually meant to me.
	I heard it just without listening to it a million times.
	I heard it.
	I didn't listen to it a million times.
	I listened to it three times.
	Liar, liar, liar.
	And then I heard it's not like these guys who are the sugar is sugar.
	No, no.
	It felt exactly the opposite to me.
	Well, it probably had the opposite effect.
	I mean, you can't throw this kind of propaganda at the public without it having an impact.
	It's a problem.
	But wait, we can help.
	We can help.
	We can help, John.
	There's still time.
	Here it is.
	Number one.
	The petition states that amending the standard of identity for milk to allow the use of, quote, any safe and suitable sweetener in optional characterizing flavoring ingredients would promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers by creating consistency in the naming of flavored milk products because flavored milk could contain a non-nutritive sweetener without bearing a nutrient content claim, e.g.
	reduced sugar, as part of its name.
	Would the proposed amendments promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers?
	Wow!
	Talking about newspeak.
	Why don't you just bring George Orwell back from the dead?
	These people are disgusting.
	Whoever put that together is a disgusting person that you could spat upon if you ever ran into him or her in public.
	That's the FDA. The FDA is putting this together.
	Yeah, the FDA is disgusting.
	They're not serving the public at all, obviously.
	They're serving the interests of these industries.
	While we're on, it's gotten out of control.
	You are the hashtag trender.
	You have started such an incredible trend in the universe.
	I don't know what's going on.
	And some will attribute this to the First Lady.
	I'm saying it's John C. Dvorak.
	This mac and cheese thing is off the hook.
	I mean, I don't know what it is, but now I'm seeing this everywhere.
	I mean, literally everywhere.
	I think we're just starting to notice it.
	Everybody deserves their mac and cheese.
	So, I see on the White House, because the First Lady is out promoting her healthy recipes and her, you know, let's eat healthy, let's move.
	And so I'm like, oh, I might as well check this out.
	Healthy recipes from the White House to you.
	Hi, welcome to the White House.
	Encourage, blah, blah, blah.
	Great, healthier schools.
	Okay.
	Please enjoy the enclosed recipes from the White House kitchen.
	Congratulations again.
	So, number one, the number one recipe, broccoli soup...
	And then number two, cauliflower mac and cheese.
	It's like, okay, alright.
	Then, I've gotten into the habit of listening to our National Treasure, NPR, to pick up on good story ideas.
	And I hear this!
	Alright, so you brought us some suggestions, because we wanted to expand our menu of office cooking.
	You know, I was thinking about this mug thing.
	The mug gauntlet was laid down in front of me, and so I picked it up and decided to do a mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese in a mug!
	It's out of control.
	I just see mac and cheese everywhere.
	People are sending me restaurant menus.
	The only thing I haven't seen is a mac and cheese food truck.
	I mean, we're still on...
	Oh, no.
	Apparently, there's a...
	I got a note from someone.
	No.
	Yeah, there's been a couple of them there back east.
	Someone's already beat us to it with the mac and cheese food truck?
	Yeah.
	I looked into it, it's like you can buy a turnkey operation here on South Congress, trailer, everything in the kitchen, $40,000.
	Yeah, but that's not the van.
	That's a trailer that you haul around a barbecue or something.
	No, no.
	You got the spot, everything.
	No, no.
	We have food trucks here are stationary.
	They don't move around the ones that we have on South Congress.
	We have like a parking lot.
	And they just stay there forever?
	Yes.
	We got one guy who's built a container.
	We have a couple of those little parks in San Francisco.
	There's one over by the Costco of all places.
	And they have a variety.
	They got one, let me think, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine or ten of these trucks.
	And they're all different.
	None of them are the same.
	They're, you know, Indian and barbecue and Chinese and whatever.
	And...
	Those stay, and I think that's happened here and there, but generally speaking, most of these trucks, you see them going across the bridge early in the morning, and then they have a route.
	They don't always stop at the exact same place.
	They'll go in one neighborhood for a week, and then they'll go to another area, and then another, and they'll be floating around.
	They're making, I think, decent money.
	They're packed.
	Well, this is what I'm saying, is that we can make super money with this.
	Anyway, just wind up our segment.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Macaroni and cheddar melt together.
	Mac and cheese.
	See, actually, there's a mac and cheese truck album art that was submitted.
	I guess we missed that one.
	It's pretty cool.
	Mac and cheese, $7.
	Bacon.
	Add bacon, $1.
	Add spam, $2.
	Add lobster.
	Mac and cheese and lobster.
	Well, that'd actually be pretty good.
	That'd be fantastic.
	That's a $12 item right there.
	I want to remind people, don't listen to the show all the time, that mac and cheese is a Depression-era invention.
	Yeah.
	When people were starving to death, so they'd use cheap cheese and cheap macaroni, which didn't cost anything, and they'd melt them together, and that would be their dinner.
	And as we pointed out, when the people who shot all the mac and cheese at the store, most of it says mac and cheese dinner.
	It's like a dinner.
	Yeah.
	It's a dinner.
	Nobody finds this weird.
	I do.
	I find it very strange.
	I got some notes from people that say, you know, hey man, this is actually, moms who make mac and cheese for their kids are telling their kids they love them because they're not taking them to McDonald's or Burger King.
	I guess there's something to it.
	I mean, it is a step up.
	I agree with that.
	But it's mac and cheese.
	If the mom liked the kid that much, I would make him a substantial meal or some stir-fry or make him a hamburger at home.
	I don't want to take the kids to McDonald's because I'm too fat to get out of the house.
	Make them some mac and cheese, Madge.
	They like the mac and cheese.
	They're kids.
	All kids love mac and cheese.
	You know, a hot dog is probably better for you.
	All it is is grease.
	Cheap cheddar is just grease and starch.
	So, John, now that you are a billionaire due to your mac and cheese truck business, what is the secret of your business?
	Starch and grease.
	And we salt our mac and cheese, too.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Oh, my side hurts.
	Ah, starch and grease.
	Very nice.
	Ah.
	Oh, boy, that really hurt.
	I got, like, a stitch on my side from that.
	Oh.
	Oh, crap.
	All right.
	I got so much to talk about, so if you want to roll a clip out or something.
	Uh, I got a, uh, couple of interesting clips.
	They, uh, There's a book out now.
	Unfortunately, it's in French.
	But do you know how many billionaires there are in China?
	What do you think?
	Billionaires?
	Let's put it this way.
	A couple years ago, there were like 10.
	Oh, then I'm just going to say 1,000.
	No.
	No?
	Billionaires.
	We're not talking about guys with some money.
	There's 140.
	Play the book on Chinese.
	And that's a recipe that's rife for corruption.
	As my guest today...
	Sorry, sorry.
	That clip goes on for days.
	I only made...
	This is an example of my making a clip so I don't lose the clip.
	Play the other one.
	How many billionaires in China?
	Three decades after Deng Xiaoping led China on its first baby steps towards a market economy, the Forbes rich list can barely keep up with the exploding fortunes of China's Tsing Kui, that's the new rich, in Chinese.
	At last count, back in October, as recently as October, there were 113 billionaires in China, a quadrupling of the number in the space of just three years.
	Now, in a country where the Communist Party is still very much paramount, making lots of money also means having to make lots of friends in politics.
	He doesn't understand this situation.
	So, essentially, the whole country is...
	I mean, this can't continue.
	I mean, this is a government supposed to be sharing, you know, communist, all this other bull crap.
	Sharing.
	Not sharing anything.
	No.
	Screw the sharing.
	If the Chinese wake...
	And the Chinese, you know, the Chinese will put up with a lot.
	But then every once in a while, some leader or somebody will come along and rile them up, and it's a little spell doom for them.
	This thing's got to fall apart.
	Who was the last guy to do that, and what happened?
	Mao.
	Right, so how long ago was that?
	The 30s.
	Right, so that's 80 years ago.
	Yeah, a short time, the Chinese thinking.
	Right, right, right.
	So what happened?
	Now, this is important, because people, you know, what's going to happen is someone's going to make a movie about Mao, and it'll be completely full of crap, so please tell me what really happened.
	How did Mao come to power, what did he do, and what happened?
	I have no idea.
	Okay, great.
	Thank you, historian.
	He's a communist.
	He came to power during the, you know, as a follow-up of the Marxist revolution that took place in Russia.
	They saw an opening because the corruption that was in China was rampant, which was obvious at the last of the, you know, the dynasties and all these emperors.
	And they had a couple of revolutions that took place at the same time.
	One was a military revolution and that was his.
	And he had the better pitch.
	You know, all right, you know, you're going Mac and cheese!
	And all this cool stuff from us because we're going to steal from the rich and give it to you.
	Really?
	That sounds familiar.
	Yeah, that's an old pitch.
	It works very well.
	It's a great one.
	Get a better pitch.
	Mac and cheese!
	His wife say, hey, point on one, mac and cheese.
	That's the pitch.
	I also have a rundown, if you want to hear it, of exactly what happened in Italy, which is now a fiasco.
	Well, yeah.
	I've been in touch with Willow and my sister, asking her a whole bunch of questions.
	Let's play your clip.
	What do you have here?
	Essentially the rundown of where things stand right now with the three parties pretty much getting the same amount of votes.
	And none of them want to form a government because all three parties hate each other.
	Where the Italian government itself is in the midst of a leadership crisis following the general election there.
	The center-left won a narrow victory in the lower house of parliament, but the senate split with no party in control.
	The leader of the left is still pledging to form a government if he can.
	Siobhan Silk has more.
	A somber post-election speech from Democratic Party leader Pierluigi Bersani.
	We haven't won, even though we came in first.
	This is the substance and the reason for a disappointment.
	The Senate is in stalemate and Bersani's centre-left coalition has a bare majority in Parliament, but he will try to form a government.
	One option is a very unlikely alliance with Silvio Berlusconi, whom he blames for ruining Italy.
	The other big block is the anti-establishment five-star movement.
	It holds the balance of power, but its leader Beppe Grillo seems unwilling to consider a coalition.
	We are heading for historic change in the culture and in the economy.
	And for this, we must not think about making alliances.
	The citizens are now the state.
	Politicians must go home because the game is over for them.
	Bersani has little time for Grillo's reservations.
	Everyone must take responsibility.
	Up till now, the five-star movement has said, everybody go home.
	But now they're in this too.
	Either they go home too, or they say what they want to do for this country.
	Alright, so they didn't get necessarily equal votes.
	Beppe Grillo's five star, which I think is a very interesting name, got about 25%.
	So the only thing that could happen is...
	The other two got 29 each.
	Yeah, so that's more.
	A little bit, but this is the same thing.
	Isn't this what happened in the Netherlands?
	They couldn't form a government?
	Not exactly, because they had many more parties.
	But it's very similar, yes.
	It's similar so that what will happen is what Beppe Grillo says, what I did not get from your clip, which I heard in different clips, is the right and the left will be forced to form a coalition, and they will rule over the ruins they've already created, and then we'll have a guaranteed election in one year from now, because he says he and then we'll have a guaranteed election in one year from now, because he says he refuses to go into a coalition with either party, so he I am here to say this Beppe Grillo character stinks.
	What do we know about him?
	The only thing people can say, oh, he's a comedian!
	Very funny.
	Let's see.
	He, in many interviews, has always spoken very favorably about Ahmad Ahmadinejad, Osama bin Laden, Ken Livingston.
	His wife is Iranian.
	In 1981, he lost control of his car with three friends, plunged into a ravine.
	All passengers were killed.
	He lives.
	We know nothing else about this guy.
	Nothing.
	I'm saying he's an asset.
	It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
	Just like Mao was probably an asset.
	But an asset for who?
	Well, that's the question.
	That is the question.
	I think we both kind of agree that in the warring factions out there that Italy has to come down.
	It would be great.
	We need to go into war.
	It's going to take several years, but we know Europe has to go into war.
	This is no different from any other cycle we discuss.
	So, a good way to...
	I mean, Italy's always been kind of on the cusp of all these wars over there.
	Yeah, well, you had the cropping up of Mussolini.
	Right.
	In the 20s.
	Right.
	And then he just ended up hooking up with...
	He was a pure fascist.
	He was a fascist, and he was the progenitor of the whole fascist movement.
	And then he hooked up with Hitler, and, of course, that was the ruin of Italy.
	What are you doing tonight?
	I'm hooking up with Hitler.
	Yeah, Hitler seems like a pretty good guy.
	Yeah, I saw you and Hitler.
	Did you hook up last night?
	Just hook up with Hitler.
	Show title.
	Hook up with Hitler.
	Write it down.
	Well, we've got plenty of fascist crap going on here to be worried about what's happening in Italy.
	And something happened.
	I had one of those magical moments, and it really is because of the cartillary river thingy that it all came together.
	It was flowing in at the same time, and it blew my mind when I figured out that these two things were related.
	Did you hear at all about the president's...
	I guess it's a memo?
	Let me see what it is.
	It doesn't have an official title.
	It's just a directive, I think, about IEDs countering improvised explosive devices.
	You didn't hear about this at all, right?
	Did not.
	Okay.
	So this was released on the 26th, so two days ago.
	Let me just see if I have a...
	There might be a White House...
	Actually, it does kind of ring a bell.
	Let me see.
	Here.
	White House policy.
	This is actually from the WhiteHouse.gov RSS feed, so that's how I know about it.
	Here it is.
	For immediate release.
	The White House policy for countering improvised explosive devices.
	The President signed the White House policy for countering improvised explosive devices today.
	The policy can be found here.
	That's their entire news release.
	So that came through my little system there.
	I'm like, eh, well, you know what, I might as well take a look at it.
	And this is going to correlate into something else which came through one day later.
	But first, let me just read through this.
	So this is about, when you hear the term improvised explosive devices, what do you think of?
	What I think of is imagining a guy in Iraq that is floating around the areas where we mine the whole place with these bombs and digging one up, taking it apart, redesigning it so it becomes a roadside bomb,
	and then giving it to some character who will plant it along the roadside and then set it off somehow or to set itself off When a large American convoy or some guys in a black Cadillac drive by it and hit it.
	That's what I think of.
	You are so poorly informed, citizen.
	Huh.
	February 26, 2013, from our president, we have no greater responsibility than providing for the safety and security of our citizens, allies, and partners.
	I'm sorry.
	That is incorrect, Mr.
	President.
	I just want to point out for the record, your responsibility is to defend and uphold the Constitution.
	But okay, I digress.
	The use of improvised explosive devices threatens these interests by killing, injuring, and intimidating citizens and political leaders around the world, inflicting damage on U.S. forces on the battlefield and disrupting transportation and the flow of commerce.
	Skipping ahead.
	Today marks the 20th anniversary of the first World Trade Center attack.
	Aha!
	There you go, John.
	Already you were incorrect.
	But that was also an IED. We have come a long way since that time.
	What?
	Today marks the 20th anniversary of the first World Trade Center attack.
	We have come a long way since that time.
	Our capabilities to counter IEDs have evolved and grown.
	In issuing this policy statement, I recognize the important achievements to date and establish our priorities for the future in countering that threat.
	We must not become complacent, but must continue to challenge ourselves and each other to be more effective against these threats as we work together to reach our shared national interests of safety, security, and prosperity.
	Carry on, slave.
	So then there's this policy document.
	So already I'm like, wow, this is kind of interesting.
	They're saying that other things...
	Yeah, the first thing you would do, you, Adam Curry, would look at this and go, what was the point of this?
	Yeah, and how come all of a sudden is an IED, which I've only heard about in the context, as you aptly described, an IED is something that, you know, some guy in the sand, we got a drone for doing it, blows up our crap and our dudes.
	That's an IED. No, no, no.
	Improvise.
	I'm just going to skip through this a little bit.
	By the way, let's just examine this redefinition.
	Improvised is a key word in it.
	Yes.
	Which means you're kind of ad-libbing it.
	Yeah, you're off the cuff.
	So the guy who built the bomb that was under the 1993...
	Which I'll point out was in a truck.
	Which in a truck, it was all very carefully designed.
	It was given to him by the FBI. The FBI gave him this.
	It was not...
	This is well known.
	It's documented.
	The FBI said, oh, here's this truck and we've set it all up for you.
	You know that, right?
	I don't have to tell you this.
	No, I don't know that.
	All right, well, look it up.
	Look it up.
	I don't have time to back.
	I can't go back to 93.
	I can't go back to 9-11.
	I've got to move forward.
	It means a little roadside.
	It doesn't mean somebody who builds up.
	I guess what Iranians are doing is IEDs.
	These nukes are supposed to be designing.
	Well, this is what's interesting about the definition.
	You've nailed it exactly.
	Improvised explosive devices, IEDs, remain one of the most accessible weapons available to terrorists and criminals to damage critical infrastructure and inflict casualties, as was demonstrated in the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253 on December 25, 2009.
	The crotch bomb or the other one?
	The crotch bomb.
	The crotch bomb or IEDs now?
	The crotch bomb was an IED. Read the Wait, wait, wait!
	No, the reason I'm going to tell you...
	Yeah, I know.
	I'm saying for some unknown reason on the surface, you, you, me, the deconstructionist of the day for the moment, are going to tell us what this is really about, and I'm sure it's going to be interesting.
	Yeah, but I just have to move through it a little bit more.
	Because you have to understand the scope of this.
	This administration is, so they also say the 2010 air cargo plot, that was basically the printer ink bomb, so those are also IEDs.
	This administration is expanding and broadening its counter-IED focus, building upon existing policy and strategy which establish and implement measures to discover, prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate IED attacks and their consequences at home.
	Or abroad.
	So then they have these points, leveraging, integrating, aligning United States government efforts.
	So basically, hey, everyone in the government, get together.
	This is our new terror, new terror IEDs, enhancing our focus on protecting American lives.
	To better meet the IED threat at home, we will seek to incorporate lessons learned abroad while respecting legal and policy factors relevant to domestic counter-IED operations, which means screw your privacy.
	Promoting cooperation with governmental, international, and private sector partners, the United States will work with partners to reduce the IED threat by sharing intelligence.
	Sharing intelligence, building capacity, and developing complementary activities with the private sector.
	Sound familiar?
	Screening, detecting, and protecting our people, facilities, transportation systems, critical infrastructure, as well as the flow of legitimate commerce.
	This is the motherlode, John.
	We will continue to develop and use advanced protection and detection technologies and capabilities with our allies and at home by effectively deploying and integrating these technologies and capabilities into our critical infrastructure and transportation systems to decrease the risk of IED attack while facilitating legitimate trade and travel.
	So whereas we had Al-Qaeda and all this frightening stuff over there and IEDs, now...
	You will hear continuously of the IED threat here at home.
	IEDs is going to be your new terror word.
	So here's what happens.
	Screen detect, protect.
	Screen detect, protect.
	The Department of Homeland Security uses intelligence gathered by other departments and agencies to best position screening measures that keep explosives out of transportation systems.
	Screen detect, protect.
	Conclusion.
	The threat from IED use is likely to remain high in the coming decade and will continue to evolve in response to our abilities to counter them.
	So what is being talked about here is sharing intelligence, screen detect, protect, and on the heels of that comes the next mention, as registered in the Federal Register, for information collection.
	Technical Resource for Incident Prevention User Registration.
	Where have we heard this term before?
	This came one day after the IED threat.
	Technical Resource for Incident Prevention.
	What does that spell?
	It spells gun registration.
	No.
	No, no, no.
	Try it again.
	It spells wiretapping.
	Get to the acronym.
	Oh, ID. National ID. Technical Resource for Incident Prevention.
	Oh, Technical Resource for Incident Prevention.
	Trip.
	Trip.
	Remember we had this whole story, Tripwire?
	Oh, Tripwire, right.
	It was an operation called Tripwire.
	Tripwire is basically the dragnet of scanning everything we do.
	Right, for that big computer they're putting up in Utah.
	The Technical Resource for Incident Prevention, Tripwire, it literally says it here in this registration, is OBP, and OBP is the Office for Bomb Prevention.
	Did you know we had that?
	Office for Bomb Prevention.
	I'm telling you.
	Online collaborative information sharing network for bomb squad, law enforcement, and other emergency services personnel to learn about current terrorist improvised explosive devices tactics, techniques, and procedures, including design and emplacement considerations.
	Tripwire was established as an IED information sharing resource under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 19 which calls for a unified national policy for the prevention and detection and protection against and response to terrorist use of improvised explosives in the United States.
	Tripwire is now legitimate.
	Tripwire is everything we know about you goes into the central Tripwire database under this presidential memoranda and the directive because of improvised explosive devices.
	And you will see the entire citizenry of the United States submit and give all their information because we don't want to be blown up by an IED. Wait, hold on a second.
	Let me just ask you a simple question before you go on.
	Since 9-11, how many IEDs of this nature have blowed up in the United States to begin with?
	With the redefinition.
	With the redefinition, several.
	Because the underwear bomber was an IED. Didn't blow up.
	Ah, but you have to be afraid of it.
	I mean, obviously, I understand what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it.
	But you're...
	There hasn't been one incident that I can think of.
	Your silly logical banter is no good here.
	So, this is bigger than anyone realizes, I believe.
	And you watch.
	I mean, you can put this in the book, IEDs.
	And the great thing about an IED, it's like anonymous.
	You just pop one off.
	Oh!
	A terrorist IED! Well, they're going to have, by your logic...
	Or by my logic, they're going to have to blow up some phony baloney IEDs.
	Absolutely.
	Yes, of course.
	Of course.
	Well, I know exactly what we're going to do.
	You know all these houses that keep popping off?
	Gas explosions?
	Why don't we just call them IEDs?
	It gives a crap.
	It's easy.
	Don't even have to plan anything.
	Oh, terrorist IED. Why would you blow up the teacher's house?
	Yeah, because...
	You're going to have to have a logical reason.
	This is not going to fly.
	What do you mean it's not going to fly?
	Unless they do a real, you know, actually kill somebody, which is not outside the realm of possibility.
	No, I think they will kill somebody.
	So they'll kill somebody.
	Yeah, somebody.
	They'll drive over it.
	No, no, no, John, you're missing the point.
	I'm sorry.
	I've got to take it back.
	This is not like the road is not going to blow up.
	Okay?
	It's a change in terms.
	I understand the change in definition.
	So a guy with a pipe bomb throwing it at a bank.
	Or an exploding crotch.
	It's all IED. Honey, I got an IED here that you won't believe.
	And this is to shepherd in the legitimization of Tripwire for the Office of Bomb Prevention.
	My goodness.
	Do they have a website?
	They must have a website.
	Office of Bomb...
	There you go.
	Google even knows about it.
	OBP. I'm down with OBP. Yeah, you know me.
	Office for Bomb Prevention leads the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to implement the national policy for countering improvised explosive devices.
	I should have looked this up.
	And enhance the nation's ability to prevent, protect, and respond to and mitigate the terrorist use of explosives against critical infrastructure, the private sector, the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial entities.
	Awesome.
	Just awesome.
	Tripwired.
	It's all right here.
	Yeah, it's a money grab of some sort.
	I wonder who's getting the money.
	Follow the money.
	Well, who is the...
	I wonder who leads it.
	Who runs it?
	Leadership.
	Patrick Stark.
	Okay.
	We can send him an email.
	OBP at DHS.gov.
	Send him this episode.
	No, actually don't.
	Yeah, don't.
	Philip Stark?
	No, Patrick Stark.
	Patrick Stark.
	Tony Stark.
	He's probably related.
	Patrick Stark.
	No one knows.
	He could be related to Philip Stark.
	I wonder if they have an executive profile on him.
	No.
	Patrick.
	LinkedIn.
	Oh, yes, he has a LinkedIn page.
	Oh, we love that.
	Okay, here we go.
	He looks like a douche.
	His name is Peter?
	Patrick.
	Patrick Stark.
	I thought I was logged in here.
	Previously, the FBI, SAIC, the U.S. Navy.
	He's a permanent guy, yeah.
	These guys are all the same.
	Yeah.
	Look at him.
	I don't see him.
	S-T-A-R-K-E. Oh, okay.
	He has 390 connections.
	That stinks.
	Yeah.
	I'm logged in, but I'm not getting any.
	Do I have to pay?
	When it's concatenated, it says Chief Office for Bombing.
	Yeah, it does.
	Chief Office for Barming.
	There you go.
	That's his chief goal.
	Dedicated professional career of 20 years of strategic and tactical results-oriented management and leadership expertise in service to the United States.
	Possesses a track record of consistent mission accomplishment, visionary initiative, and unquestionable loyalty.
	Professional experience extends to international venues to include Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Americas.
	Can we create an IED group on LinkedIn and connect us to him?
	Yeah, probably.
	Can you do that?
	Yeah.
	Anti-IED LinkedIn group.
	No, just IED. I don't think it should be IED. IED information.
	I think it should just be IED. That's funny.
	So what did he do?
	He was a surface warfare officer in the Navy.
	Then he went on to special ops.
	He was actually in Ordnance Disposal.
	Oh, there you go.
	He knows all about him.
	In the Navy.
	And then he was a senior analyst at some company.
	Some quasi-government-covered SAIC, which I think...
	What is that?
	That's the Strategic...
	SAIC is...
	That's...
	School of the Art Institute of Chicago?
	No.
	Science Applications International?
	No.
	Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation?
	Yeah.
	I think it's Science Applications International.
	I think that's what it is.
	Located, headquartered in McLean, Virginia.
	By coincidence.
	I bet she has lots of friends.
	I'm sure he does.
	So he was working there.
	By the way, people out there, new listeners, go watch the, I believe it's on Netflix or Amazon, the 13-episode series called Rubicon, which is about...
	Yeah, it's still out there.
	It's still out there.
	Then he became a program manager right out of there for some unknown reason in counterterrorism at the FBI. Oh, really?
	That's interesting.
	And now he's at U.S. Homeland Security.
	So we know what it's still all about.
	It's just more intelligence guys.
	Yeah, but the bothersome thing here is Tripwire.
	Go back and look at all...
	Just Google Tripwire.
	Look at all the stories about it.
	And it's illegal.
	It is completely illegal taking your information.
	I'm sorry, you're not even taking it.
	Companies are giving it to them and entering it into Tripwire.
	Google is putting that stuff into Tripwire.
	Here's my problem with all this.
	Here I am, I'm 48 years old.
	I've seen times.
	I've been through some stuff.
	I've got a FICA report that smells like a graveyard.
	It's poop.
	And I can't do anything about it.
	I've got stuff on my record that's just going to be there until 2019.
	Yeah, well, you're going to be red-flagged.
	So I'm red-flagged for everything when it comes to financial.
	Everything.
	I can never get a loan.
	Nothing.
	And it's ridiculous stuff.
	It's just, oh, well, you don't have any...
	There's no good news.
	I'm surprised you can get a debit card.
	Yeah, me too, actually.
	We don't even trust you with your own money, Mr.
	Curry.
	This is no good.
	But this will happen with these types of programs.
	You're going to have some kind of report about you and something weird will get entered.
	Something weird you do.
	And if you're a working guy, a guy who works for a living, like most of our listeners, you can't just generate money out of the blue like most people.
	Very few people can do that.
	You are screwed.
	Correct.
	You can't You can't get a house.
	You can't get a loan.
	You can't get a car.
	I mean, you have to buy everything cash, and so you're saving all the time.
	You can't get a good job because if you don't have a good FICA score, they won't hire you anymore because you're a risk.
	The logic is that, well, if he doesn't have a good score, then he might steal the money from the company, so we can't afford to hire him.
	Too risky.
	Too risky.
	I think I pretty much blew all my hiring chances quite a while ago, John.
	I think the show has not necessarily helped with any potential hiring in the future.
	Yeah, the show probably, whoa, what, what?
	You were involved with what?
	A show that was actually giving real news to the public?
	Oh, we'll have none of that.
	That's no good.
	No, give them a lousy rating.
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	No job for you.
	In the morning.
	A few people did help us out on show 491, including Nate Mossman in Clinton, Georgia, who gave us $125 and says, I like short notes.
	A new donor.
	And he's a new donor along with Robert Alter in Kansas City, Missouri.
	I can't find his note, but I did see there's a little mention, 12407, the most uninteresting number in the universe.
	Are you sure?
	I have a feeling that we have a note.
	I'll look for it while you continue.
	Peter Tengstrom in Amsterdam, which I believe is in Holland.
	121.50.
	Thanks, guys.
	Keep up the good work.
	Playing karma would be appreciated.
	Okay, we'll give you that.
	Some karma, not a problem.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Spiros Betas in Nepani, Ontario, just wants karma.
	Okay, got that for you.
	You've got karma.
	I have nothing for Robert Alter.
	Nothing.

	No dancing required, monkeys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.

	Thank you very much, people.
	Love you.
	Eon Holm in Caroline Springs.
	Eon, no less.
	Really?
	Australia.
	Eon.
	How about Eon?
	I'll try that.
	What did I say?
	Eon.
	How do we say Eon?
	Eon!
	Eon!
	Ian.
	Hi, Skip and Biff.
	Stop.
	Nothing to say.
	Stop.
	No inane jingles.
	Stop.
	This is like a parody of a telegram.
	Oh, okay.
	Hi, Skip and Biff.
	Stop.
	Nothing to say.
	Stop.
	No inane jingles.
	Stop.
	Just karma for wife and daughter.
	Stop.
	Stop.
	In.
	Home.
	Stop.
	Caroline Springs, Victoria, Australia.
	Stop.
	All right.
	Karma.
	Stop.
	You've got karma.
	Just about Australia, just for a second.
	Starting May 31st, the government will be able to transfer all money from accounts in Australia that have not been used for three years into the state's coffers.
	How crazy is that?
	That's what they've been doing in the United States for decades.
	But you can get it back.
	Oh, you can't get it back?
	No.
	What?
	No, it's just gone.
	They take it from you.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You can't get it back?
	I'm sorry.
	The money can be claimed, but the process will take months.
	Well, here it takes years.
	No, it doesn't.
	I got a couple pieces.
	We had like $1,000 that the state of California stole from me, and it took us almost a year to get it back.
	They said, oh, we didn't get your request.
	Oh, really?
	I don't understand.
	Why is that even okay?
	The governments do that.
	I mean, that's just not okay.
	Because nobody said anything when they decided to do it.
	Oh, it's for your protection.
	Oh, we don't.
	And why would these institutions go along with it?
	Because there's money in their bank.
	Yeah.
	They don't do this in Switzerland.
	I guarantee there's lots of dead money in Switzerland banks, and they're not the Swiss government.
	Uh-uh.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Mike Schumacher in Rancho Cucamonga, California, 99.

	The long notes, Kiki and Karma.
	That is actually a breakfast of champions.
	So, let me bring that to you.
	Kiki, you threw me off.
	Shut up already!
	Science!
	You've got karma.
	You know, Business Insider?
	You familiar with this publication?
	Oh, yeah.
	What kind of outfit is that?
	Where'd they come from?
	They just kind of, like, appeared.
	Yeah, it's the guy who, what's his name, the stock guy who became, let me think of his name.
	Shit, I can't remember, it's weird, I can't remember his name.
	Warren Buffett?
	No, it's a stock market guy who was, I guess, damn near arrested for helping...
	Stansbury Research?
	No.
	Anyway, a stockbroker guy who was arrested...
	I can't remember his name.
	He's on Yahoo.
	I don't know why I can't remember his name.
	I know who he is.
	And I know his wife is a very famous PR woman.
	Go to this URL. SexyScience.Curry.com SexyScience.Curry.com So this is a business insider...
	Thing, which I liked, but I was very disappointed.
	Have you got it yet?
	Yeah, I'm looking at her.
	Heather Knight is the founder of the Maryland Mon robot.
	Yeah, but look at what...
	This is the sexiest scientist alive.
	It is the 50 sexy scientist list.
	Oh, it is.
	So down below, you click on it, and...
	For some reason, it, like, scrolls all over the place.
	I'll see who made our sexy scientist list.
	Yeah.
	No, Dr.
	Kiki.
	Oh, Dr.
	Kiki should be on there.
	Are you kidding me?
	She should be, like, number two.
	But I want to bring to your attention number...
	Hold on a second.
	Where is she?
	How about this douchebag?
	The guy with that soul patch.
	He's not sexy.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You want to go to number...
	Let's see, where is she?
	Oh, I can't find her now.
	Oh, look at this guy.
	Hi there, man.
	I'm a douche.
	I'll say Ben.
	Hold on a second.
	Number 37.
	She's number 13 in the slideshow.
	She's kind of like Tina Fey without the scar.
	Oh, yeah.
	She has a big jaw, no lips.
	Yeah, but listen...
	Fun fact.
	She is a descendant of Karl Marx.
	Fun fact.
	Fun fact.
	She's hot, though.
	Look at her.
	She's attractive.
	No, she's hot.
	I would call her hot.
	Oh, come on.
	Look at her.
	She's like, I'm going to science yourself into ecstasy.
	She studies the neuroscience of emotion, social interaction, decision-making, and memory.
	Oh, this is my kind of scientist.
	Yeah, it means that she can't remember anything.
	Specifically, her lab studies how our experience of emotion impacts how we think and behave on a daily basis.
	And when we suffer from mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, I want to be in your lab, Tally.
	Karl Marx, descendant.
	Fun fact.
	Now, hold on a second.
	Number one is Bullback Ferdowsie.
	He's got a mohawk.
	Where are you?
	Rachel Armstrong is kind of hot.
	The number one.
	Well, how do you get to number one?
	You just go all the way to the right.
	You click that arrow until you get all the way there.
	This guy is the sexiest guy?
	That's what it says, number one.
	Oh, he's the douchebag from Elon Musk's outfit.
	Oh, really?
	Yes, he's not Elon Musk.
	He's the Mars Curiosity rover dude.
	Yeah.
	And he always shaves, like, really?
	Yeah, he's got a couple stars painted on his head.
	Shave a 33 in there and all.
	And sorry, ladies, he's got a girlfriend.
	That's the first thing.
	Fun fact.
	And believe it or not, fun fact, for a guy who works at NASA, he's a major Star Trek fan.
	Yeah.
	The fun facts are great.
	We need fun facts about ourselves.
	Fun fact.
	John likes...
	He has some fun facts.
	Fun fact.
	John likes salsa dancing, karaoke, traveling, and film festivals.
	Yeah.
	Jean-Baptiste Michel.
	Fun fact.
	He likes Modern Family and listens to the Black Keys.
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Fun fact.
	He's a hipster douchebag.
	Unbelievable.
	But anyway, wow, Cleo Cresswell, number seven, Australian.
	Now you're talking.
	Fun fact.
	Fun fact.
	Yeah, well, Australians are pretty.
	If she's not at her desk brain working, you'll find her at the gym either bench pressing her body weight or hanging upside down from the gym rings.
	I got a sex swing that has your name on it, Cleo Cresswell.
	All right.
	We digress.
	I'm sorry.
	But anyway, I'm disappointed.
	I think Dr.
	Kiki could have easily been on, and I promote her because we abuse her every single show.
	I think Dr.
	Kiki easily could have been on this list, and I think it's a huge mistake.
	It's free publicity from us.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Geez.
	What did this section take so long?
	Matt O'Raston in Murdoch, Western Australia, 80.
	Medium-term boner, first-time donor.
	I would have contributed earlier, but I've decided to take six months off from working and drive around the country and generally be a bum.
	Fuck the system.
	I really appreciate the work you guys do and wish you all the best.
	Not sure if you're still doing it, but could I hear that African guy who explains everything and the general purpose karma?
	What?
	The African guy?
	That crazy clip that I had of the guy trying to explain stuff and it was just a bunch of nonsense?
	He played it once recently.
	Oh, what was it called?
	It was...
	Wow, did I save that?
	I should have saved that as an evergreen, I presume.
	I don't know whether you did or not.
	It is pretty funny.
	Do you know what it would be called?
	No.
	I'm sorry, man.
	I'll give him karma, though.
	I'm sorry, man.
	I don't know what it's called.
	You've got karma.
	Idiot?
	Let me see if it's idiot.
	No, I mean...
	It's my dating conventions.
	Well, I'm trying, but no, unfortunately.
	Anonymous.
	75 bucks job karma.
	All right, job karma for you, my friend.
	We need some of that ourselves.
	You've got karma.
	At Astonbury in Palwatosa, Wisconsin.
	$75.
	No witty repartee.
	Please throw some value-for-value accounting certification karma my way.
	Love, Matt.
	You've got karma.
	Thomas Imbrex in Namur.
	I don't know where that is.
	72 for some reason.
	According to the exchange rate, I'm at the same...
	I'm sorry.
	According to the exchange rate at the time of donation, this is 5510 euros, which is $72.
	I'm also sending a short note to the NA feedback inbox.
	Did you get that?
	I got it.
	Okay, what does it say?
	It's not short.
	Well, it's about the jingle.
	There's a quick note about the oldest, most played, the time-consuming jingles.
	He says, oh, this is kind of what he said.
	I donated 55, 10 euros, 72 dollars today.
	I got punched by a complete stranger who also broke my brand new 400 euro glasses just two days after my latest donation this summer.
	Hope this one goes better.
	Maybe it's because John didn't pronounce my name right that time.
	Oh.
	That's wasn't it.
	He didn't ask for karma.
	That's the reason.
	Give him some karma.
	That won't happen again.
	All right.
	We don't want that happening.
	You've got karma.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me get this straight.
	He's wandering around with a pair of nice glasses and some guy looks at him and punches him in the face?
	That's Germany, man.
	Ugh.
	Chris Ball in Chicago.
	You're listening to No Agenda.
	Boom.
	Chris Ball, Chicago, Illinois.
	7126.
	Thanks for all the hard work you do.
	We appreciate it.
	A job karma would be great.
	You've got karma.
	Thomas Kilbride, $70.
	And from Parts Unknown, Scott Akron in Ohio.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Scott in Akron, Ohio.
	It's your birthday.
	We got that.
	Double shot at D-douche karma is what he's looking for.
	You've been D-douched.
	You've got karma.
	The best podcast in my universe.
	Sir Zog in Elwood, Illinois.
	Long note.
	He says his goofy state legislature is trying to come up with a concealed carry law to comply with the recent seven district court rulings.
	Okay.
	I'm going to skip, skip, skip.
	He wants a douchebag for the Illinois state legislature.
	Douchebag!
	He passed his general and tech right off the top when he went to get his hand license and fell six answers short of his extra on the first time.
	Very good.
	KC9YJY. Hey, hey, hey, KF5. Now, I'll talk to random old dudes on two meters.
	Can I tell you something weird?
	What?
	Over the past two days, I did my first Morse code contacts.
	Yeah?
	I did Russia 10 watts.
	But I'm doing it with the key.
	I mean, I'm literally going doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
	You're actually running a key?
	I'm running a key, yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's pretty wild, isn't it?
	That is sick.
	Yeah, but I have to say, it's something really exciting about, because all the digital modes where you're typing it on a keyboard and it goes back and forth and people are using macros and everything, but when someone's keying with you, So there's a personality thing, you know, because, well, first of all, they have to really slow down because I can't copy, you know, if someone's going really fast.
	So do you, can you understand them as it comes across?
	Are you at the point where you just, you can hear Morse code?
	Yes, but no more than 10 words a minute.
	But what happens is, because it's kind of like texting, right?
	So, all these...
	And I didn't know this, but, you know, it'll be like R-U. It'll literally be R-U. You know, the letter R, letter U. T-U for thank you.
	So, all these kind of SMS... Yeah, all these kind of SMS acronyms.
	And so, you kind of fall into the rhythm.
	You kind of figure it out.
	And then, even if you miss some things, you can kind of pick it up.
	And, of course, the more you do it, the better you get.
	But, I mean, like a guy who's in his truck...
	And he's keying while he's driving.
	Oh, that's cool.
	It's very cool because he's in a zone, right?
	He's just driving and he's listening.
	He's hearing dee-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-da.
	And then he's got a key on his thigh.
	He's keying along while he's driving on the road.
	I think you could take...
	Here's the deal.
	You can take those shifting paddles on some cars...
	You just hit him right and left.
	Yeah, you'd have one would be a dot and one would be a dash, and you'd do it with the two thumbs as you're driving around.
	I think that would be a great gimmick for any car with shifting pedals, and it's totally legal.
	Here, listen.
	I'll give you a quick demo.
	There you go.
	What did you say?
	I said...
	CQCQDKF5SON. Oh, cool.
	All right.
	So I hope to key with you soon.
	Keying random dudes.
	Woo!
	All right, we now go to our 69.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	All right!
	Which again has faded to very few.
	We're down to three.
	Yes, the last time there was only two.
	Wow.
	Sean Hogan in Utica, New York.
	Love you guys.
	Can't live without you.
	Please give Chris Schwerzek a two to the head.
	Now donate.
	There you go.
	All right.
	Craig Dash now in Brunswick, Victoria.
	Hi, Bill and Ted.
	Craig, yet another American in Australia here.
	Hold on a second.
	I quit listening for a while, but I started listening a couple months ago.
	Although I was one of the first people to donate in the olden days, please deduce me for not donating lately.
	I agree.
	Anything else?
	John, the next time you drive by the Port Angeles High School, give them the finger from me for trying and failing to make me an obedient, soul-dead conformist.
	Can you please give me karma for a new job as I'm losing my current one?
	Thanks, Telestra.
	Telstra.
	Oh, Telstra.
	Isn't that the Canadian...
	Right.
	Telco thing.
	All right, here we go.
	You've been deep...
	And I'll give you karma since I hit you.
	You've got karma.
	I hit it.
	I hit that.
	Finally, Garrett Reed in San Diego, California, 6969.
	He's from San Diego, California.
	Drunk donation.
	It's my birthday Tuesday the 26th that I want to share my joy of not being a Darwin Award nominee this year with you.
	Love this show and send me some swazzle enough karma and science is in followed by LGY. That is all.
	You are the best thing to exist since vagina.
	The science is in!
	Wow!
	You've got karma.
	My mother, rest her soul, would be so proud.
	Yeah.
	Mommy, I just want you to know, my listeners think we're the best thing since vagina.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Eric Ortega in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Don't we have to wrap up our segment there, brother?
	We've got to close it up.
	69!
	69!
	Yeah, because you won't be playing that jingle much longer.
	It's a goner.
	It's over.
	56.98.
	Congrats to Miss Mickey.
	Welcome short and sweet 73s N3 T-U-X. Ah, that's right.
	Miss Mickey, she got her medical for her slave entrance exam.
	Oh, for a bracelet.
	For the ankle bracelet.
	Yeah.
	She did a good job, though.
	She had to get proof with the actual dates That she was inoculated.
	A bunch of bullcrap shots.
	Well, she didn't have to take the shots because she...
	She already had the shots.
	Yeah, when she was a kid, when she was like three months old, you get your shots.
	Yeah, you get all these shots.
	But you have to prove it, and so she had to have her doctor, she had to find the doctor, who was still alive, in Holland, who gave her the shots, and he had to sign a note with the dates that he gave them, which of course, right?
	Right.
	He did.
	Nice.
	Yeah, nice.
	Thank you.
	She didn't have to get boosters?
	He also signed for the boosters.
	Oh, good deal.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Chantel James and Shaguanas.

	Graham Wolfe in Wichita, Kansas.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Can't thank you enough for the hard work you put in the best podcast universe.
	Hope I'm slick enough to pull off a New World Order jingle with a Don't Eat Me Hillary stuck in the middle.
	Uh, New World Order?
	Oh, Don't Eat...
	Oh, okay.
	I get it.
	Hold on a second.
	This is not easy, people.
	Uh, where is it?
	Where is the thing here?
	Mew! Water! Order!
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton! - Let's go.
	Shut up.
	Wow.

	I like it.
	Mark Magapeo in Cerritos, California.

	Science.
	In the morning.
	You've got karma.
	Another person from Beaverton, Oregon, only he's anonymous so he can't hook him or her up with the other Beaverton person.
	Keeping it short, in the morning, like I said, you encourage people to follow at FreedomNW, Freedom Northwest, on Twitter, and to follow, review the material I sent over regarding the Oregon firearms legislation, which we may go into later today or on the show on Sunday.
	They're trying to shut down the Oregonians, which are pretty independent.
	Well, with insurance, with exactly what we predicted.
	That's one of the scams, yeah, plus all kinds of other crap.
	To Greg Stone...
	Let me just say, it's in the show notes.
	You can find it there under the War on Ammo.
	Good.
	Sir Greg Stone, Rapid City, South Dakota, double nickels.

	And James Deering in Lufkin, Texas, Double Nichols.
	He and his wife enjoy the show.
	And he would like some work, new job, money karma.
	He says something else.
	Well, he says do not read the note.
	No, he says Adam, do not read this.
	Well, you never read the note anyway.
	Oh, I see.
	John, we've been having an awful lot of weather lately, and I was wondering if you could start another rain stick war with Adam.
	Him is karma.
	I'm rain sticking you.
	I wish it would rain here.
	I'm rain sticking you.
	Karma.
	You know, we did this the other day, and did you see what happened?
	We had a blizzard in Texas.
	Well, you deserved one.
	That's because you're waving your rain stick locally.
	I'm waving my wand.
	Well, let's see what happens.
	Hank Vavors in Moovarden.
	Hank Vavors?
	What I said.
	In Leowarden.
	Leowarden.
	Yes.
	Leowarden.
	Leowarden.
	Yeah, 55.
	Noel Vincente, or Vincent.
	Leowarden is where the Justice Department is.
	Oh, is it?
	Yeah, if you get sued, you've got to go to court there.
	I'm reliably informed.
	Bill Vincent in Landing, New Jersey.
	Thank you for the show.
	First-time donor convinced by repeated on-air douchebag guilt from Sambo.
	Crackpot news tip.
	A cable guy tells me Heath insurance providers are trying to purchase massive backbone level network infrastructure.
	Health insurance providers.
	Oh, health.
	I don't know what a Heath insurance provider was.
	So they're going to do something.
	I don't know why.
	Well, hold on.
	Let's read it for a second.
	A cable guy tells me health insurance providers are trying to purchase massive backbone-level network infrastructure from his company to implement quarterly electronic home health monitoring, the results of which will be tied to premiums.
	In other words, to make sure that you are living a healthy life, slave.
	That's what it's about.
	Spying on you.
	That's another part of your report.
	Yeah.
	Along with the...
	This, by the way, is not Noah Vincente in Landing, New Jersey.
	He just says, thank you.
	This is Ed Smith in Lorena, Texas, up the street from you.
	Right.
	So I got the two jammed together.
	I'm not so used to one-line ones.
	Eliza Martinez in Florence, South Carolina, 50.
	ITM, Mulder, Scully, and Deep Throat.
	Here's a consultation fee for the Curry-Devorak Consulting Group.
	John, when you say ITM feet in the air, what do you mean?
	Paratroopers or women having a good time?
	Well, I never thought of the paratroopers.
	If I become a knight, I'll have Rioja.
	So what pairs well with that?
	Hookers, wenches, or what?
	Actually, steak.
	Rioja and rimming.
	Last, I recently started to listen to jazz.
	What's the name of the show's outro piece?
	You tell him.
	That is the Marriott Jazz Quintet, and the title of the piece is On the Seventh Day.
	And she would like a, or he, it's a she, a he, I don't know, a Kiki LGY Karma.
	Shut up already!
	Science!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	All right, so now we have a long note from Elizabeth Woods, who's written us before, and I'll be part of it.
	Big shout-out to her.
	We have her husband, Jimmy Woods.
	His real name is Francis James Woods III. So is he related?
	To James Woods?
	Yeah.
	I seriously doubt it.
	Where is she from?
	New York.
	Huntington Station.
	Hunting is stationary.
	Yeah, it seems unlikely.
	We were married five years this past August.
	I wanted to thank you for your interesting topics, for teaching me some stuff that I never knew about.
	And for the laughs, you guys are sometimes so interesting that I have actually gone to the show notes from time to time.
	Wow.
	Actually visited the show.
	It makes me feel so good because it's not like I take hours and hours putting all that together at all.
	Fantastic job in my book, You Become the Best Podcast in the Universe, of course.
	Can you give us a happy birthday in the morning as he gets on the birthday list?
	In the morning, some karma.
	And any other extras you want to throw in?
	Fondly, Liz.
	Okay, we'll throw it in.
	In the morning, you've got karma.
	Atlas Drugs.
	By Ayn Rand.
	You know, I saw Atlas Shrugged Part 2.
	Oh, fantastic.
	No, no.
	It's like someone who belongs to your club said, hey, let's make a movie.
	So we saw part one, and this is equally as bad.
	We're going to make a movie to make everyone think Atlas Shrugged is a stupid book.
	And they succeeded with that.
	Where Dagny is a victim, instead of this strong, amazing...
	Well done, sir.
	Well played.
	It is a piece of crap.
	I don't know how they did it.
	How can you wreck it so badly?
	Good.
	No, it's not good.
	It's a fabulous book.
	Antonio McMullen in Round Rock, Texas.
	Right up the street.
	In some Texas action.
	Salutations from a remote region of the world.
	I just started listening to the show.
	Thanks to my friend, Joe.
	I want to contribute to the Value for Value model.
	Your show keeps me entertained while I spread freedom and drones across the world.
	Keep up the good work.
	Can I get up?
	Don't eat me, Hillary.
	So you're laughing, or I'm laughing, but it's actually possible he is sending drones around the world.
	He just said he's in some remote region of the world.
	Get it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I get it.
	I'm just stalling so I can find the...
	He's a drone driver.
	Yeah.
	Drone driver?
	So they'll all be just like...
	All the cabbies will be...
	Drone driver.
	Eat me, Hillary!
	There you go.
	All right.
	Keep up the good work.
	Nicholas Boink.
	Boink.
	In Rye, New South Wales.
	It says Reed, but I'm actually in Sydney, the world's most beautiful city, which is unfortunately infested with narcissistic douchebags and bankers.
	Say no.
	First time donor, but listening since about show 50.
	Poor student, but I thought I'd donate.
	Well, I could get a mention for a modest amount.
	I think that would help the show is to move the donation section to the end as a sort of producer's end credit.
	That's an interesting idea that's not been suggested.
	Just move it right to the end and people just stop if they don't want to hear it.
	Well, I don't...
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	I like the idea.
	This has nothing to do with the...
	This has nothing to do with the...
	First of all, there's all kinds of gems that...
	I mean, would you have known the fun fact about the scientists if you had stopped listening?
	No, you would have missed that.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's a fun fact.
	Yeah, it's a fun fact.
	We got a fun fact.
	We got fun facts.
	We got fun facts in there today.
	All kinds of groovy things.
	You heard me...
	It's all minor.
	It's fun facts.
	Who cares if there's a bunch of...
	All those lists suck.
	And I think we made it clear that we thought that list sucked because they didn't have Dr.
	Kiki.
	She should have been in there.
	But what I'm saying is if you move this to the end, then people will miss it.
	And by the way, I think I could walk over to Genentech right now and find ten lady scientists that are better looking than anybody on that list.
	So they didn't even try.
	Why don't we do that?
	Nah.
	The hotties of Genentech.
	Why not?
	If we had a magazine or something where we'd make some money, I would do it.
	I'd have to actually get out of the house.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm thinking calendar.
	There's no money in calendars, no matter what you'd like to believe.
	Oh, okay.
	Link.me in Winterville, Georgia, 50 bucks.

	First donation.
	First donation.
	I want to thank him and everybody else who helped to contribute to this show.
	491.
	We've got 492 coming up.
	Headed to show 500.
	So look out for 31313.
	And we'll put that up on the new donation, the new contribution, the new support page.
	That's at Dvorak.org slash NA. And hope everybody keeps contributing, keeping this show going.
	Yeah, this is an important number, people.
	3-1-3-1-3.
	That is the 31st day of the third month of the 13th year.
	3-1-3-1-3.
	For the episode number 500, it will be quite a...
	It's quite a number for us.
	500 episodes.
	I mean, find some podcasts out there of this length of this value that actually do this on a consistent basis.
	And then tell me if this is worth it to you.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	We certainly try.
	Dvorak.org.
	Here we go.
	And of course we have a couple of birthdays!
	Which we love to celebrate!
	Garrett Reed, he celebrated on the 26th.
	Scott turns 32 on Saturday.
	Sean Hogan says happy birthday to Chris Swierczek.
	I hope I pronounced that right.
	And Elizabeth McCarthy says happy birthday to her husband Jimmy Woods.
	Celebrates on the 28th.
	That would be today.
	Send pictures.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the Noah Jones Show.
	It's your birthday, yeah.
	Fortunately, no nightings today.
	Yeah, it's a shame.
	Yeah, it's sad.
	I want to ask a question before I get into some of these offbeat topics, including my clips.
	What is the deal with Strauss-Kahn?
	I mean, now there's a book coming out.
	There's a little clip here that kind of explains it.
	Some woman who's actually quite attractive apparently had an affair with the guy for seven months and then wrote a book called Beauty and the Beast.
	And if you get to see this woman, if you see a picture of it, spook.
	Oh, yeah.
	So now this is...
	What did this guy do that they have just...
	Pile drive this guy into oblivion.
	Whoever did win 50,000 euros in damages.
	The book is called Beauty and the Beast and it was written after the author had an affair with Dominic Stroscon in the midst of the scandal over accusations he raped a New York hotel maid.
	Stroscon says the author was simply trying to make a buck.
	William Edwards has more.
	Marcella Jakub's book, Beauty and the Beast, is hitting bookshops this Wednesday, but if you want a copy, you might face a bit of a wait.
	A French judge decided against a ban, but required an insert to be added, and that'll take time.
	The work recounts the author's seven-month affair last year with Dominique Strauss-Kahn in graphic detail.
	His name isn't mentioned, but Jakub told a French magazine that the former IMF chief was the subject, but she admitted mixing fiction with reality.
	Fiction or not, Strauss-Kahn has called the book a gross invasion of privacy.
	I'm completely disgusted by the despicable nature of this text, and by the fact that it's completely untruthful in what it relates.
	It's all done to make money, with no regard to the devastation that it could cause to my personal life, my family life, or that of my children.
	So now I say, enough.
	I am tired of being used, and I want only one thing, to be left alone.
	The court also ordered the French magazine that published excerpts of the book to publish a statement on half of its cover.
	The author, editor, and magazine will have to pay a total of 75,000 euros in damages.
	The decision is unlikely to put an end to the intense scrutiny into Strauss-Kahn's life.
	So this woman, Marcela Lacoube, is, I mean, smoking hot.
	And she's young.
	I think she's younger than she looks in the picture, because she's got kind of an older haircut.
	Yeah.
	But she's...
	Yeah, spook.
	I mean, lest us forget...
	That when Strauss Kahn was removed and they were tapping his phone, they set him up with this maid.
	That was a setup.
	They set him up with this maid.
	It was to remove him to bring in Lagarde.
	This is why this guy...
	If he tries to make a move, they just have to make him look like an idiot or a pig.
	Literally, if you look at the cover of this book, there's a pair of high-heeled pump shoes and a pig.
	He has a pig.
	I know, it's relentless that this guy...
	They're calling him a pig.
	He just zigged when he should have zagged.
	But realize that all these elites, you know, just like our beloved Petraeus and Alan and all these guys, they are megalomaniacs.
	You get to this level of power and, you know, it's just like, whatever, just, hey, come over here, get on that.
	I'm going to hit that, tap that, because you can get it all.
	And look at this woman.
	I agree.
	Spook.
	And this guy probably, I can get that.
	It's great seeing the two next to each other.
	Ugly, old, fat beast.
	And he's getting that?
	Well, of course.
	It's only because either A, he's rich and powerful, which I don't think he was that rich, but he had certainly power and influence, or she's, you know, there to compromise him.
	And success.
	And the media has a story.
	They're not going to all of a sudden print, you know, his truth about how Lagarde screwed him and took over and captured the IMF and then immediately worked with You know, with the U.S. Treasury and bankrupted the entire world.
	Who's going to believe that?
	No, pig?
	Yeah, oh, I believe that.
	Look at him, the guy's a pig.
	So this is just how characters...
	You know, it wouldn't surprise me if the guy doesn't kill himself.
	Well, maybe they're trying to drive him to it, or actually, no, they'll kill him.
	And then put the gun in his left hand?
	Because it's obvious that what you just said...
	Is in the public domain in terms of a mindset that says, oh, I'm surprised he doesn't kill himself, then he kills himself, because you can't be the only one thinking that.
	No.
	No.
	Although I am a genius.
	So I want to play a couple of these things from this...
	Shrimpton?
	Michael Shrimpton.
	Yeah, good.
	Explain who Michael Shrimpton is.
	Well, if you play the first clip, which I believe is the long one, and you don't have to play the whole thing, which I think is the Shrimpton...
	Michael Shrimpton on British murder pedophilia ring, and it was a murder ring, and it was run by Ed Heath, the prime minister of...
	Of all people.
	And it's outlined in a new book that's called Spy Hunter by this guy.
	And if you play this clip, he introduces himself.
	I'm Michael Shrimpton.
	My day job is barrister.
	I used to be an immigration judge many years ago.
	My other job is as an intelligence and national security consultant.
	I've just written my first major book, Spy Hunter.
	We weren't getting anywhere in the intelligence community.
	We were being blocked persistently and consistently in London and Washington, and it seemed to me that only by bringing public pressure to bear on politicians could you actually get anywhere.
	These extraordinarily frustrating, intelligence is about speaking truth to power, but if there's nobody in power able to act on the intelligence, then it's a little bit pointless gathering it in the first place.
	There are people still alive who are involved in the paedophile scandal, and obviously I'm not going to name them on a radio program, but the most prominent paedophile associated with the Savile Ring was a man called Edward Heath, who you may recall was Prime Minister, and took us into the EEC. I've
	I've said this in Spy Hunter.
	Heath was into little boys, and Saville was supplying them.
	A number of these boys were taken out of the Haute de Guerin in Jersey.
	Saville was taking children from a children's home with the support of German assets in Jersey.
	Remember, the Germans used to run Jersey.
	And whenever the Germans overtake somewhere, there's always a stay-behind intelligence organization.
	The German assets didn't pull out of Jersey in 1945.
	Wait, is this about Gladio?
	Is he going to talk about Operation Gladio?
	No.
	Five.
	Only German troops marched out, those surrendered.
	The German intelligence operation in Jersey...
	Stayed on after 45.
	Jersey was very important to the Germans because of offshore financing.
	Because we do a lot of our offshore financing through Jersey.
	The banking in Jersey is quite interesting.
	And what was happening was that children's homes in the Channel Islands, particularly DeGrenne in Jersey, children were being taken from these homes, boys in the case of Everheath, As he was gay, and a pedophile, were being taken onto his yacht, the Morning Cloud.
	Right.
	There were, in fact, several Morning Clouds.
	And that's where Dutroux comes in.
	This is amazing, John.
	What a great clip.
	There was one in particular which won the Sydney Hayward Yacht Race, which was eventually sunk in the English Channel, from memory.
	But it was the boat that was sunk on which most of the abuse took place.
	Savile was actually going out...
	Two, he went down to Jersey, and he was actually taking boys.
	There was another man involved as well, but Savile himself took boys from the children's home, where he was the guest, or welcome, onto the boat.
	So he was taking boys out onto Morning Cloud.
	Since Heath is well known, and since the boys, we're talking young men, it depends how you define child, but as a lawyer, normally we define children as under the age of 14, which is the age of criminal responsibility.
	They were about that age, sadly.
	But they were old enough to know who was abusing them.
	It's quite clear that in most cases they weren't willing to be abused.
	And even if they were, at that age, we don't regard consent as informed consent.
	Defined in the United States, I'm afraid, statutory rape.
	The boys were murdered and thrown off the boat.
	Now, a very courageous Jersey police officer who was aware of the pedophile ring, was aware that boys were being supplied to politicians and key figures in Jersey.
	Knowing that children had gone missing from the nursing, and there's no dispute about that, the police in Jersey were aware that they had missing kiddies.
	Their theory, which is quite perfectly reasonable theory, was that they must be buried in the grounds.
	And I think if you look at the files, you'll see there was an attempt to find their remains by digging up the grounds.
	Was it Lenny Harper?
	It's been some times I looked at the file on this, but if you told me it was Lenny Harper, I wouldn't dispute that for a moment.
	What I do know is this police officer is very competent, very courageous, because he was up against a Cabinet Office-backed paedophile ring, and the investigation he was...
	Conducting was at some professional risk, and indeed, I suspect his life is also at risk at one point, because he was getting close to some very uncomfortable truths for certain people in the cabin office, GO2 in London, and certain people in Jersey, in the German network, which is, even today, there's still a German network in the Channel Islands.
	This is, so, this is Jimmy Savile.
	Jim will fix it.
	He received a papal knighthood.
	Which is maybe the reason the Pope quit.
	No, that was the other Pope, the guy before him.
	But whenever I launch into my conspiracy theory about an entire section of the elite ruling class in government and in elitist families, people would call me a nutjob.
	But this is like, this is so, and this connects to the true...
	No, it connects to all this.
	And what's interesting to me is that...
	It also connects to Boys Town USA, John.
	All of these things are connected.
	It's a huge network.
	Well, let's play Shrimpton 2, which is a shorter clip.
	It brings the Germans back into it.
	And apparently, this is the initiation of the British entry in the EU. The cabinet secretary of the time, who thankfully is no longer with us, Hunt, He was also a pedophile, was in on this, met Savile.
	He was Catholic, met Savile, as did that very nice man, the late Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Basil Hume.
	Basil was not a pedophile, but knew Hunt, and...
	I had a shrewd idea.
	He wasn't stupid.
	He had a shrewd idea of what had been going on.
	And I've no doubt was told to keep a lid on it.
	But Hunt was in on it.
	So the Cabinet Secretary at the time was in on it, was aware of what was going on, was aware he had a Prime Minister who was involved not just in abusing young boys, but was murdering them as well.
	It's quite possible that there was a crewman on the yacht who did the actual murder.
	I'm not saying that he necessarily bashed the boys on the BOCO and tossed them overboard.
	He may have had somebody do that for him, but he was certainly guilty of murder under English law as an accessory or on a joint enterprise basis.
	The Cabinet circuit today knew that we had a Prime Minister who was vulnerable to charges of murder at the Old Bailey, a bit of a national security I'm looking,
	but Spy Hunter doesn't appear to be on Amazon yet.
	This is a lot of suppressed stuff.
	Another EEU example is this one little anecdote he has about Madeleine McCann.
	Who was murdered.
	Yes, this is the young girl who was abducted in Portugal and never heard from again, which of course also rumored to be an elite pedophile ring in Portugal, actually.
	And I think they later did arrest a number of people in this pedophile ring.
	It was in my report to the Joint Intelligence Committee, which was put on the website disgracefully by the Daily Mirror a few years ago.
	In the case of Madeleine McCann, she was going to be abused by a senior member of the European Commission in Brussels, whose name is known to British intelligence.
	I can't identify him in Spy Hunter, but I don't know who it is.
	Wow.
	How come this is the thing that all bothers me?
	There's no way that Madeleine could ever be returned alive to her family, because the danger would be that even at a tender age of four, she would recognize him and know who was abusing her.
	I hear this all the time.
	Yeah, I know who it is, but I'm not telling.
	Why not?
	Why not just come all out?
	What are you going to do?
	Well, because he knows the same thing that you had going on when you were in Holland.
	You're going to get sued, and you're going to have to prove your accusation, especially in the European Union.
	The laws are different than they are here.
	You can actually pull off...
	Being more accusatory in the United States, but you better still be careful.
	The only people he names are all dead, but he has supposedly the documentation.
	He has credibility to a point.
	I don't know how credible this guy is overall, but he does have a lot of...
	He speaks nicely.
	Well, yeah, he's also the Shrimpton Kelly murder, is a nice little clip, and then I'll play the one that is extremely strange.
	I mean, you said yourself that parts of British intelligence have been infiltrated by other countries, so, I mean, you know, how can you say we would never do such a thing?
	Ah, well, then it's not we, is it?
	If a German, let's take the assassination of David Kelly, that was done by GO2, which is the German operation in London, and you've got German assets inside Thames Valley Police, for example.
	Where you've got Brits working for the Germans, then my view is you blame the Germans.
	You don't blame the Brits because the Germans are paying them or blackmailing them.
	Pedophilia is a wonderful means if you're a hostile intelligence agent.
	They're blackmailing politicians.
	Ah, really?
	Thank you.
	So that's what he thinks, that Kelly was blackmailing politicians with pedophilia?
	No, I don't know.
	That was a different topic.
	They killed Kelly for some other reason, and then this guy kept hounding him about, why would the Germans be doing this?
	Why would they be using pedophilia?
	because we don't, supposedly, in terms of the British intelligence, MI6 and MI5.
	And he went on and said, this is the style of German intelligence operations and made a point out of it.
	And then he brought in one item, which I think is just the most off-the-wall thing I've ever heard because, unfortunately, the interviewer doesn't think much of the – he didn't back him down on this and what the hell is he talking about and why did this happen.
	But when we look at Sandy Hook, the two of us, there's always this lack of evidence of anything.
	And then we have something like, for example, this phony baloney Pierce Morgan.
	And just play just for – just kind of a reminder.
	Pierce Morgan lies one clip.
	Music.
	.
	Good evening.
	You're looking live at Capitol Hill.
	We're in just a few hours from now.
	The Senate will hold its first hearing on Dianne Feinstein's assault weapons ban.
	That ban would outlaw 157 kinds of military-style assault weapons.
	It would also ban large-capacity magazines to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
	If you've watched the show later, you'll know exactly where I stand.
	I think the ban would be a very good thing for America.
	But its passage is far from assured, even in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre.
	The shooter there, it's important to know, used a Bushmaster semi-automatic assault rifle with a 30-round magazine.
	Many magazines were on his possession.
	No, I'm sorry.
	That was found in the car.
	Yes, it's bullshit.
	He's a liar.
	Yeah, that was fun.
	And so then they brought on a couple of – a dad and some other dad who lost their sons.
	And if you listen to this interview, this is as if you have somebody up there who had a script to read, and they don't like the script.
	They don't know what to do.
	They may have had a national security letter, so they really can't say anything or whatever really happened in Sandy Hook, which nobody seems to really understand.
	And listen to this way he – the way Pierce – The way this guy responds to Pierce, this is a very short little interview.
	Joining me now is Neil Heslin, his six-year-old son, was killed at Sandy Hook.
	He's in Washington to meet with members of Congress about the assault weapons ban.
	With him, it's his friend Stephen Gritch, whose son was also a tragic victim of gun violence, killed just days before Sandy Hook.
	During a home invasion near Clemson University.
	Welcome to you both.
	I just want to say from the outset, Neil and Stephen, that you were friends from high school in Connecticut.
	You've known each other a very long time, joined in this awful way by the death of your children.
	Neil, let me start with you.
	Tomorrow's a big day for the assault weapons ban, for the ban that's trying to go through on high-capacity magazines and so on.
	Where do you feel this debate now is in America?
	I don't know on that.
	I still believe that there has to be a band in place for assault rifles and the high-capacity magazines.
	Wow!
	Steven, you've also lost a child.
	Were there monarch butterflies flying across the screen when this took place, which is a surefire symbol of MKUltra?
	It was unbelievable.
	Oh my God.
	So then we hear from Trimpton.
	This unbelievable...
	And this is just completely off the wall.
	It wasn't followed up.
	And I would like to get a hold of this guy and find out what the hell he's talking about.
	Because this is the craziest thing.
	Believe me.
	And I'll take the crackpot side on this segment.
	This is the craziest...
	The WTF clip is the craziest thing I've heard forever.
	Okay.
	Now, I have not heard the clip.
	And I would like to make a guess.
	You'll never guess.
	Sandy Hook was a ritual killing.
	Satanic ritual killing.
	No, no, no.
	Damn.
	Now, you're painting a picture of lots of sort of high-level paedophile characters in the center of government.
	What on earth purpose would that serve?
	Oh, if someone is inclined in that direction and you can supply them with boys, then you've got a hold on them, or girls.
	There's nothing worse for a politician than being exposed in the murder and sexual abuse of young people.
	And if you've got a politician who is abusing and killing young girls and boys, but boys or girls, then you've got a hold on them.
	This has been a standard German intelligence tactic for decades.
	Well, surely it's not just the Germans.
	I mean, the British intelligence surely are using these kinds of tactics.
	Any intelligence service would want to.
	No, we're the good guys.
	I mean, MI5 and MI6 don't do murder.
	Obviously, occasionally it's necessary to take people out, but that's always done by independent contractors.
	We're the good guys.
	You're in this.
	You would say that, wouldn't you?
	Well, I am British.
	I'm in favour of the British, and I certainly count myself as a patriotic Englishman.
	And I am a Britisher, yes.
	But we are the good guys.
	And one of the reasons why we're the good guys is we don't approve of the killing of children.
	We'd never get British intelligence setting up a shooting like the Sandy Hawk shooting in the United States, which is again set up by the Germans fire Mexico.
	And a bunch of crazy Mexican drug gangsters rolling up to a school shooting up the kiddies.
	And it's just absolute nonsense.
	British intelligence would never, never touch an operation like that with a barge.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Oh.
	Ha!
	Step back away from the podcast receiver.
	All right.
	Thanks.
	I thought I had a weekend.
	I've got nothing but research ahead of me now.
	Holy crap.
	Mexican gangs spurred on by the Germans.
	Oh, my God.
	Awesome.
	Good job.
	Well played, sir.
	Yes.
	I was actually taken aback by that myself.
	I was like, what?
	Well, it makes a lot of sense because there is so much evidence of a gun.
	The green car outside has bullet holes entering but also exit holes.
	So if someone was shooting out of the car.
	There's all kinds of stuff.
	And also, you know, the records have been sealed for another six months at Sandy Hook, and the judge says, well, you know, we don't think the people could handle the possibility that there was more than one shooter involved.
	This is not reported on anymore, but it does get reported on, but just not a headline anymore, because God forbid.
	But wow!
	Woo!
	All right, thanks.
	Very good job.
	And...
	Yeah, I mean, I feel like I'm inadequate.
	Like, you know, I'm a shriveled little shrimp here as a crackpot.
	I mean, you've outdone me.
	You've totally outdone me.
	And I've never heard of this guy.
	This is great.
	It's really great.
	Yeah, and he doesn't get interviewed much.
	He was on this little station in Bristol, and he doesn't get interviewed much.
	Basically, he's been suppressed, and I think the book, I don't know what happened to this book.
	And the guy has a website, and in his website, he never really discusses any of this stuff.
	He kind of held back on all of it, because he was in the security agencies of some sort.
	And then he rolls out the book and tries to get some publicity, and I think he's shutting him down.
	But I tried to find this on Amazon.
	It's not on Amazon.
	It's called Spy Hunter.
	There's a different book called Spy Hunter, but not by him.
	Shrimpton.
	It's called Spy Hunter, the book.
	But Shrimpton is not on Amazon, period.
	So, let me see.
	He has a blog.
	Remember the beginning of the original long clip?
	He says this is his first book.
	So?
	And if you look up Spy Hunt, well then it wouldn't be looking up...
	If the book's not there, then he won't be there.
	So, I mean, it's not as though he did other books that he would show up on Amazon.
	Right, right.
	Well, when did this come out?
	If you look up Spy Hunter and then put in Shrimpton, you'll find there's some links to some obscure stuff.
	He first came out with this in the middle of January last month.
	I see it.
	And then there is a piece that he wrote, kind of a prelude to the book, in June or July of 2012, where he even brings in some more crazy stuff and kind of hinting about this book.
	All right, here's the problem.
	I'm just looking at SimeonPress.com.
	And so they headline, what David Icke has been saying since 1998 about pedophile and child-killing Prime Minister Ted Heath is backed up here by barrister Michael Shrimpton, an intelligence and national security consultant from his own contacts and inside experience.
	So the problem here is now he'll be associated with David Icke.
	Right.
	So that's a problem.
	Yes.
	That's a big problem.
	A huge problem.
	Yeah.
	But what are you going to do?
	David Icke has this old information.
	I guess it was known amongst a lot of people.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, the BBC. David Icke was BBC. It was a sports presenter, so he knew all about it.
	He knew what was going on.
	Yeah, he was at the BBC, so he knew.
	And he's a gossip, obviously.
	I mean, he's not the kind of personality that's just going to be shy and reticent.
	And so he found out about it, and then, of course, he went on his merry way, becoming David Icke.
	But then he was marginalized, generally speaking, by the public at large.
	And so this guy backing up the Ike claims is just going to be marginalized too.
	And so only listeners of the No Agenda show will know anything about this in the entire United States.
	This is never going to come out at all.
	And you'll have a little blurb when he kills himself.
	Right, he'll kill himself.
	Just a little blurry.
	Gun in the left hand, two shots.
	Yeah, we have to keep track of him.
	He's well connected.
	Yeah, it doesn't matter.
	He looks great, though.
	I'm looking at the picture.
	He looks like he's sharp.
	God bless him.
	We're going to give the guy some karma.
	I hope he stays alive for a while.
	This is good.
	You've got karma.
	So again, if you get dizzy from this podcast and you're thinking, oh my God, what is going on?
	We've just lifted up the veil of the matrix momentarily for you to peek around and under it.
	All you have to do is just turn the podcast off, turn on your telescreen, and everything will return back to normal and you'll feel perfectly fine.
	Or will you?
	And I would like to keep my deconstruction of the Department of Peace building for Sunday.
	We teased it.
	Yeah, that's teasing.
	So there's a brand new department.
	It is a huge piece of legislation which I have deconstructed in its entirety.
	Let me just say this.
	Get your brown shirt out of the closet because the Ministry of Peace is upon us.
	Yes, I'm not kidding.
	When I saw that, I said, oh, this is too funny.
	Yeah, I know.
	I expect we'll do it on Sunday.
	It's still the same newsletter cycle.
	Yeah, so we'll do it on Sunday.
	We're already over time here, and I do want to finish up with the ever-important entertainment industrial complex.
	This is, of course, I'm referring to the ceremony known as the Oscars.
	And a lot of things happened during this year's show.
	And the first thing that I... And this was Jimmy Kimmel, actually, that put this together.
	Because, you know, we're in Texas.
	We're in a weird time zone.
	So you get all this red carpet stuff ahead of time.
	And this has been bothering me for a long, long time.
	And we've talked about it on the show.
	Use of words incorrectly.
	And there's a list of them.
	And I'm really disturbed by it.
	Awesome!
	Right?
	The use of the word awesome.
	Yes.
	Also, the current use of the word sick.
	Have you heard this?
	Sick.
	Her body is sick.
	It's so good that it's sick.
	Her body is sick.
	It's just sick.
	I don't like that.
	It doesn't feel good.
	Particularly when one woman says about another woman.
	But props to Jimmy Kimmel for putting together a hundred uses of the word amazing during the red carpet coverage.
	Have you seen this?
	This is fantastic.
	Amazing.
	Thank you.
	You guys look amazing too.
	Her hair looks amazing.
	So?
	Amazing.
	Really?
	That's amazing.
	Amazing.
	You look amazing.
	Your hair looks amazing.
	I'm sitting amazing.
	Amazing.
	This is amazing.
	It was amazing.
	You're amazing.
	You look amazing.
	Everyone's performance this year was amazing.
	It's such an amazing ride.
	Amazing weather.
	Amazing hairdos.
	Amazing experience.
	Amazing McQueen.
	Amazing people.
	Amazing here.
	Amazing look.
	I think it's amazing.
	You're amazing.
	Amazing.
	Amazing.
	You look amazing.
	That looks amazing.
	Life could be amazing.
	You look amazing.
	Quite amazing.
	Thought it was amazing.
	It's gonna be amazing.
	Amazing.
	Amazing.
	You were amazing.
	You were amazing.
	So, by the way, the chat room is pointing out to me that you actually used the word sick in that context earlier in this very podcast.
	I did.
	Yes, and I remembered to point that out and I forgot, but thank you, chat room.
	So, I played this video, which you can find in the show notes for niner1.nashownotes.com for Ms.
	Mickey.
	By the way, I used it ironically, but go ahead.
	I know you did, honey.
	Believe me.
	And I played this for her because she's an undocumented American.
	She's an immigrant.
	And so she is still honing her vocabulary, and she finds it very important that she learns new words to use.
	This is one of the most frustrating things for her when you are not a native speaker and you want to not fall into the hipster trap of using these types of words, which happens very quickly.
	And she said, that's it.
	From now on, I'm using the word divine.
	And I think we should institute this.
	Like an old gay male.
	Amazing is used by primarily old gay guys, so how about just divine?
	It's just divine.
	You look divine.
	And also, I would like to start using most assuredly, which I don't think is actually correct, but it sounds great.
	Instead of certainly or yes, just most assuredly.
	It makes you feel, when someone says, hey, are you going to call for the trash can most assuredly?
	Yeah, well, I'd like to use for that, I'm going to use indeed.
	Indeed.
	No, Indeed works in print.
	No, ask me if I'm going to go take the trash out.
	Indeed.
	Hey, John, wait a minute.
	Did you take the trash out?
	Are you going to do that?
	Indeed.
	Now you tried on me.
	Hey, Adam, are you going to take the trash out?
	Most assuredly.
	Alright, so a couple of things happened during the Oscar ceremony.
	Can I say one thing before you go on your list?
	No, please, please.
	That woman, what's her name, Jennifer Lawrence, who ever fell down on the steps?
	Yes.
	What kind of a, and I heard that there was something, they were cheapening the whole operation.
	You're supposed to have, when you build those crazy steps with no way of...
	You have dudes who hold on to you.
	You have a couple of big dudes who hold on to you, or women in the case of the men going up, because it's dangerous.
	Yeah.
	This is, as a Curry Dvorak consulting business meeting, this is an outrage.
	And it was these two producers, these two old gay guys, who produced a divine program, who really missed out on this.
	And she had a dress on, which, you know, she had a, I think it was, crap, was it Chanel?
	No, it's Dior.
	It was a huge dress and she knew it was a problem.
	Yeah.
	And it was embarrassing for any woman regardless.
	But I totally agree.
	You need dudes there.
	It's a cheap-ass crap show and female unfriendly.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	Female unfriendly.
	Yeah, they hated women.
	Totally.
	They're hoping someone's going to fall.
	In fact, when, what's her name, Kevin, she had to go up sideways to get up to the thing.
	The big-eyed, big-mouthed woman won the award.
	Big-eyed, big-mouthed woman.
	Big-eyed, big...
	What's her name?
	Adele?
	The word big doesn't apply.
	Big-eyed, big-mouthed.
	What's her name?
	The actress that was in La Mis.
	Oh, yes.
	La Mis girl with the short hair.
	I'm starting to dislike a little bit.
	She's getting annoying.
	Here we are.
	We're such talented people.
	Besides the point, it doesn't mean you can't be critical.
	You don't need to be a chicken to spot a bad egg.
	Howard Stern hates her.
	I don't care about that.
	Anyway, go on.
	Well, I was very disappointed that during the commercials...
	Anne Hathaway.
	Anne Hathaway.
	Who came in and told you that?
	Nobody.
	Okay.
	So during the commercials, we see like Harvey Weinstein running around and stuff.
	They actually did an award, a category this year, and they didn't even air everything.
	I do have some audio of it, if you're interested, of a nominee that did not make it on the air.
	Want to hear?
	Sure.
	Coming soon.
	From No Agenda Films.
	Oh, brother.
	A journey into the mind of a curmudgeon.
	I complain endlessly.
	The Growser.
	Bullcrap.
	Prepare to be buzzkilled.
	Shut up.
	It was very hard saving that for two hours.
	The grouser.
	The grouser.
	Yeah, it was hard.
	Now I know why you did this.
	No, no.
	Very funny.
	Okay, so anyway, I want to point a few things out.
	Obviously, we have the First Lady of the United States all of a sudden showing up to present the award to, well, it was a shoe-in either way.
	It doesn't matter what was going to win.
	Did you hear the speech she gave?
	Yeah.
	Did you find anything weird with that?
	Well, I didn't study it.
	Okay.
	I just found the whole thing offensive.
	And then, of course, they give it to Clooney.
	And then backstage, Clooney's going on about, this is the real story that should have been told.
	And we had last in the last show.
	People should go back and listen to it.
	Let me play it right now.
	The only thing I would say was that 90% of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian.
	And the movie gives almost full credit to the American CIA. And with that exception, the movie's very good.
	But Ben Affleck's character in the film was only...
	He was only in Tehran a day and a half.
	And the main...
	Hero, in my opinion, was Ken Taylor, who was a Canadian ambassador who orchestrated the entire process.
	So, here's what's very important, and this is really, whereas we had pipelines in episode 181, people pay attention to what's happening here.
	So Michelle Obama handing out the award to Argo, which I fully believe she knew about.
	And by the way, of course the First Lady is hanging out on a Sunday night at midnight with a whole bunch of military men and women dressed up in their battle dresses.
	Of course, it makes so much sense, showing the power of the First Lady and the First Family and the military-industrial complex, just showing sheer...
	That was like Hugo Chavez would have done that.
	Yes, exactly.
	It was un-fucking-believable to me that she did that.
	Now, so even President Carter, which this was a test run, to change President Carter's legacy into something very positive.
	Yes.
	So now all of a sudden, oh, well, President Carter, because he even has a little role in the movie, as we know, during the credits.
	You know, oh, he freed the Iranian hostages.
	Nothing could be further from the truth.
	But the guy who wrote this fictional story actually won the Oscar for writing the fake story.
	And here's what blows me away.
	We have George Clooney, a known CIA asset, who was a producer on this film.
	Producer means funding.
	In addition to Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's girlfriend, being thanked in the credits, which means the State Department obviously had a hand in it, there was one other person on the credits, Whitney Williams, Special thanks to Whitney Williams.
	Whitney Williams was the First Lady Hillary Clinton's Director of Operations when she was in the White House.
	Whitney also serves as co-founder and chief executive officer and board member of the Eastern Congo Initiative, co-founded with...
	Yes, Ben Affleck.
	So, you understand the money is coming from CIA and State Department government sources.
	And the crazy twisted thing about it is...
	And this is why Clooney always stands to the side and is really embarrassed and timid because he knows that they literally...
	It's a movie within a movie.
	They created a movie about something that didn't happen.
	There was no John Goodman.
	There was no fake movie script.
	There was none of this bull crap, this backstory.
	But they actually did it with money from the government to create this fake movie about a fake movie.
	And they said, well, you know what?
	Let's get Ben Affleck to direct it because if it sucks, no one cares.
	It's fucking Ben Affleck.
	We don't give a shit about him.
	We'll just misuse him.
	And then it turns out, ooh, it was really a good movie.
	So the Hollywood establishment, which knows this, said, well, we're not going to give the guy best director.
	Fuck that.
	This guy, it's a total government operation right up to the White House.
	So, okay, it won best movie.
	They couldn't stop it.
	That's why they snubbed him on that.
	This whole thing is revisionism.
	Cultural creationism and revising history just like Lincoln, which is now going to middle schools, just like Zero Dark Thirty, which is...
	We don't have pictures of Bin Laden.
	We're not allowed to see them because everyone would go crazy.
	Oh, we can't have that.
	And Mickey made a very good point.
	I tried this out on her this morning.
	She said, you know, how come we can't show the pictures of Bin Laden, yet we have this entire movie about killing him, and the woman, the actress, what's her name?
	The cute redhead who didn't win?
	Yeah, the redhead.
	How come she's not under protection?
	Why isn't she being threatened?
	Why isn't she being threatened for her portraying a CIA agent indirectly responsible for the killing of Bin Laden?
	We can't show the pictures or anything.
	We dumped them in the ocean.
	This is all making history.
	This is the danger.
	And you can take...
	If you watch a Lincoln movie and show it in schools and you can discuss and read and read all the things that Lincoln was reading because he was very prolific.
	He read a lot.
	He knew a lot.
	The kids will still remember and believe the story that was in the movie.
	This is what is destroying history, legacy, and it's really, really, really dangerous.
	And there's nothing we can do to stop it, by the way.
	I mean, forget about it.
	But you need to be aware that this is taking place.
	And what is frightening to me is that we now have movies working towards the future coming out in June.
	There's two movies coming out.
	And I would say we have to be fearful for the president's life.
	We have White House Down.
	Coming out in June, White House Down looks to me like it's going to be the better of the two.
	Channing Tatum will be in there, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods.
	I mean, this is a full-on awesome, awesome cast.
	There's no trailer available yet.
	That'll be out in June.
	Coming out March 22nd, 322, very important numbers for the elite, What's it called?
	Olympus Has Fallen.
	And I do have a trailer of this movie, and they already have a website online, olympusmovie.com.
	Mr.
	President, five minutes, sir.
	Evening, ma'am.
	Merry Christmas, Mike.
	Mustang, this is Big Top bringing out the full package.
	Where'd that come from?
	So first the president's wife dies.
	Everybody knows you did the right thing on that bridge.
	Even the President knows.
	You've got to learn how to get back into the real world.
	Mr.
	President, we're ready for you.
	And now, we've got a C-17 flying over the Capitol and shooting at the White House.
	Sir, there's no need to prove you.
	Let's go, move.
	You get the idea.
	What is the point of these movies?
	Because it...
	Wow.
	Is it just a message to say, hey, just in case you didn't know it?
	Yes.
	We're in control and don't forget you're just a stooge for us.
	Yes, yes.
	Morgan Freeman.
	That's a possibility.
	I mean, we've seen this.
	Listen to this cast.
	We have noticed this problem over and over again.
	When we first started doing this show, we saw this situation.
	Listen to this cast.
	Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Dylan McDermott, Ashley Judd.
	These are not small little poopy movies.
	This is good stuff, and there are two coming out.
	And the dates have been changed.
	I mean, there's something going on that is very, very, very big with the complex.
	On the back end...
	Obama's getting too big for his britches.
	Oh, yeah.
	On the back end...
	He slapped down.
	There's one thing that I don't know if anyone really noticed, that it kind of went undiscussed.
	But this is where the real danger lies, and they better watch out.
	Love you so much.
	To my children, Christopher, Thomas, Alexander, and Samantha, thank you for inspiring me every day.
	To my mom and dad, thanks for telling me I could do any crazy career choice I wanted.
	Finally, I want to thank all the artists who worked in this film for over a year, including Rhythm and Hughes.
	Sadly, Rhythm and Hughes is suffering severe financial difficulties right now.
	I urge you all to remember.
	So did you see this part?
	No, I missed that.
	Okay.
	So this was when Life of Pi won.
	And what the guy is trying to say is that all these visual effects were made by an outfit called Rhythm and Hues.
	And Rhythm and Hues actually had several thousand people protesting the night of the Oscars, several outside of the venues, because their company is effectively being shut down.
	And here's where the big mistake is being made.
	The elites or whoever is running the show...
	Refuse to pay the visual effects makers what they really deserve.
	And they're starting to revolt.
	And you know, you need these guys.
	You've got to take care of your visual effects people.
	So apparently there's no real union.
	Even the director is not even thanking them anymore.
	Director of photography is not even directing photography anymore.
	They're just sending it all to the visual effects people.
	Here's one of the visual effects guys who have been in the business for a long time who explains the problem.
	In what ways is what happened to Rhythm and Hughes symptomatic of the industry?
	Well, it's been sort of the way it has been for the last 20 years that I've been involved in the industry, which is the visual effects guy is at the bottom of the heap, and nobody pays any attention to us, nobody gives us any due, and mostly we're never really paid the amount of money that we should be paid.
	It has been, interestingly enough, the Jaws theme.
	It has been a swim to the bottom.
	Maybe you need a bigger boat.
	I mean, I wonder if, you know, if the situation where the visual effects was, why would people go into this industry?
	I mean, isn't that just capitalism that someone's willing to do it for less?
	Well, the people that go into the industry that are visual effects artists are, in fact, artists.
	This is not done by technicians.
	This is not a bunch of people pushing buttons in computers and whatnot.
	The world-class work are done by incredible artists, men and women that are painters and sculptors and model makers, but now do their work in a 3D world inside of the computer.
	When I was in the magazine business, it seemed like the art director was always the one who got the stuff at the very last minute, that when everyone was late, it fell on the art director because they had to come up with those visuals at sort of the last minute.
	Is that the same thing in the movie business?
	Well, it's exactly the same.
	We're always the tail that wags the dog.
	Interestingly enough, the gentleman that won the Academy Award for the Best Director of Photography didn't even thank the visual effects people.
	But when you look at the life of Pi, here's a movie that's 70-80% digital.
	In fact, most of the visuals that you see in the movie that are absolutely beautiful, which is why the Academy probably voted for it, Have little to do with the director of photography and mostly to do with the men and women back at Rhythm and Hues.
	So I love how he says, we are the tail that wags the dog.
	Yeah, that's a funny reference.
	Well, he's not saying it by just some coincidence, John.
	So, this is a real problem, and I'm warning Hollywood now.
	I'm warning you now, you take care of your visual effects people or you're going to see more little, small little things are going to start creeping in.
	You know how they put like the Drew of Penis on Snow White or the Mermaid or something at Disney?
	Remember that?
	No, I don't, but I know how these guys operate.
	Apparently, the Star Trek models had all kinds of crazy stuff.
	Exactly, exactly.
	I think my favorite was a rural FD mailbox with a red flag up.
	Anyway, so this is what's going on.
	We are revising history.
	We are teaching through a full-on media which goes completely unscrutinized, has nothing to do, you know, we want to ban guns.
	It's all about video games, the enemy of the movie business.
	Television is entirely...
	Fair game in this, except for the pay channels.
	The movie channels will, of course, be protected.
	And this is where the true power now lies.
	And I am to believe that the press corps is on to this, but they're afraid to say it.
	They're afraid to say it.
	You know why?
	That's because there's advertisers involved.
	Thank you.
	Exactly.
	That's why people have to support this show.
	Thank you.
	That's exactly right.
	And we'll give you more reasons to support it on Sunday when we take you through the new Ministry of Peace, which is not a joke.
	There is a true Department of Peace building, and I have deconstructed the entire bill, which already has 10 co-sponsors.
	It's introduced by that douche-knuckle from California, of course.
	But that's irrelevant.
	But it's not something that just was made up overnight.
	And I think the Peace Academy sounds fine, so you make sure you tune in Sunday, or whenever you pick up the podcast, the best podcast in the universe.
	We'll be very happy to provide you all of that information.
	It's up to you whether you want to support us or not.
	Your choice.
	We do appreciate it.
	Coming to you from the Travis Heights Hideout here, just off South Congress, in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, my name is Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I can...
	Honk that horn without some suit telling me to stop.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday.
	Sans suits!
	and as divine as ever, right here on No Agenda.
	Coming soon...
	From No Agenda Films.
	Oh, brother.
	A journey into the mind of a curmudgeon.
	I complain endlessly.
	The grouser.
	Bullcrap.
	Prepare to be buzzkilled.
	Shut up.
	Shut up, slave.
	The best podcast in the universe.
