	Name the song Jimmy Osment's hit.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, March 30th, 2014.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 604.
	This is no agenda.
	Officially blocked in Turkey.
	Direct from Fido Region 6 here at the Travis Heights hideout in Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from North Silicon Valley, where I'm not about to say the same thing twice, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	It doesn't matter.
	It sounded just as bad as the first time.
	It did?
	I broke up?
	No, it's not.
	It was more like compressed down or something.
	I don't know.
	Will you switch to Comcast?
	No, please.
	The Comcast thing has been fixed.
	No, that's not it.
	It's just a matter of how Skype decides to work.
	Look, the ISDN is no longer viable.
	You can't even get it anymore.
	Maybe just talk a little louder.
	How's that?
	I can scream.
	Oh, there you go.
	That'll work.
	I can push the gain up a little bit.
	I don't know.
	Well, maybe...
	By the way, I'm going to tell you in advance.
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah.
	Booted!
	Yes.
	Club 33 is burnt to the ground.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Club 33 is burnt to the ground?
	This must be sabotage.
	Insurance scam?
	I have no idea.
	Due to low donations, Club 33 has been burnt to the ground.
	Luckily, we were overinsured.
	Okay, nice.
	We will be collecting the names and we'll be reopening shortly.
	In other words, no stage segment.
	What are you supposed to do?
	I mean, you know, unless you want to come out in this cold weather.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, I want to say hi to everybody in Turkey today, if you're not dead.
	We have listeners in Turkey.
	We have people who are very upset and living in Turkey.
	Are they upset about their scam, the attempted false flag?
	Well, no, they're upset about a lot of things.
	Here's a quick clip which made me chuckle.
	First, it was Twitter.
	Now, it's YouTube.
	Turkey's government has been cracking down on social networking sites, which Prime Minister Rachid Tayyip Erdogan accuses of spreading misinformation.
	This is what the Prime Minister says is happening to Turkey.
	In his party's new video, a faceless enemy tries to bring down the country's flag.
	The people rise to defend it.
	Uniting the nation against conspiracy is his goal.
	What appears to have prompted the ban on YouTube is an audio recording between senior ministers which was posted on the site.
	They were allegedly discussing a possible military operation in Syria.
	Turkey's foreign minister said it constituted a declaration of war against his country.
	Wait for it.
	I've been a Facebook and a YouTube user for years.
	I'm uneasy over these developments.
	I wonder how far they will go to curb our freedom.
	First Twitter, now YouTube.
	What's next?
	Facebook?
	Oh no!
	Facebook's next!
	Oh no!
	Get off the internet, losers!
	Where did you get that report?
	RT, of course.
	That's funny, because I got an RT report that's, I think, a little stronger.
	Oh, no, I have the whole false flag thing.
	I just thought it was funny about what's next, Facebook?
	Yeah, no, that's pathetic.
	It's not funny.
	It's sad.
	It's beyond sad.
	It's pathetic.
	Learn a protocol, people.
	Get in an IRC chat room or something.
	Create a webpage.
	Hack some HTML. Blog something.
	Get off Facebook.
	Alright, so we have this YouTube false flag thing.
	Yeah, this is a report of it.
	And the funny thing is the American media really hasn't picked it up too much.
	It's way too complicated.
	It's not complicated.
	No, for the American news media, when you say turkey, people think, what?
	Is it Thanksgiving?
	What?
	Turkey?
	No, it's not Thanksgiving, is it?
	People have no idea where turkey is.
	What does turkey do?
	You should start a conversation somewhere.
	What do you think of the Ottoman Empire?
	And just see if anyone responds.
	What?
	Is that a new band?
	Is that a new band?
	Hey, that's a good name for a band.
	Hi everybody!
	We're the Ottoman Empire.
	We're here all week.
	Hello Cleveland!
	Right.
	All right, so...
	I got one.
	Most of my clips, not most of them, but a lot of them today are from RT, because RT... Has some hot chicks!
	Well, they got some good-looking women, but besides that, they are going after us with just needling us about one thing or another incessantly, and I just think it's hilarious.
	Yeah.
	But this is the false flag.
	I guess it's a two-parter, false flag scam and YouTube.
	Turkish authorities have launched an espionage investigation into a leaked recording purporting to be a conversation between two top officials.
	It revealed an alleged plot to stage a false flag operation that would appear to be a Syrian attack.
	The leak on YouTube infuriated Prime Minister Erdogan, who rushed to block the site.
	Here is an extract from that tape.
	Prime Minister said that in current conjuncture, this attack must be seen as an opportunity for us.
	I'll send four men from Syria, if that's what it takes.
	I'll make up a cause for war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey.
	Now the discussion surrounds a possible attack on the tomb of Suleyman Shah in northern Syria, a sacred site for Turkey which is permanently guarded by Turkish soldiers.
	Earlier this month, Ankara warned it would retaliate against any assault on the memorial.
	In case of such an attack, Turkey could also call for the involvement of its NATO allies.
	That is based on the principle that an attack on one alliance member state is an attack on all.
	Before you give your analysis, John, I'm surprised that there is no explanation from RT, or anyone really, about what a false flag even is.
	Do people just inherently know this?
	Well, no, that's not true.
	Abby Martin.
	Oh, well, yeah, of course.
	Abby Martin on breaking the set went into a detailed explanation.
	Yeah, okay, all right.
	But no, I think...
	So here's the idea is, what they're saying is that they were going to have a couple guys go into Syria, then attack Turkey in order for Turkey to say, oh, NATO, we need your help because we're a NATO member, and Article 5 you have to come in, and then we would have a reason to go and rebelize Syria even further.
	I don't know what more you can do to that.
	Really, what a waste of ammunition at this point.
	Why would we even bother...
	You don't even need to buy the ammunition.
	You go out there and just pick it up off the street.
	Just rearrange the rubble, maybe.
	What are they trying to do?
	So they had some peace, Nick, go on with some more discussion here with Part 2.
	This is the NATO Part 2?
	Yes.
	Well, it's a concerted policy on the part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, which Turkey is a part of, has been a part of since the early 1950s.
	It appears that was the strategy, was to provoke...
	An attack from Syrian territory onto Turkey, therefore providing a rationale to draw in the support of the United States and perhaps Israel as well as Britain and other states that are part of the NATO alliance.
	Certainly NATO members share Turkey's sentiments about the Syrian government.
	Both openly support the rebels in their fight against Damascus.
	And as for how far Turkey will go, a new leak on YouTube seems to offer some insight on that.
	It's a great peek into the way governments operate and how they gin up wars that they would like to have happen and blame them on somebody else.
	A lot of these insurgents were trained at American military bases and Air Force bases in Turkey, then put into Syria.
	Syria also has gotten all shipments of weapons, I should say.
	The insurgents have gotten shipments of weapons from Turkey.
	So far, NATO has not gotten involved, but with Turkey's grabbing every opportunity to say why it should strike Syria, there's no telling how long that will last.
	So, what's your take on this?
	Because I really don't see any need for this other than to distract from the elections that are taking place, which Erdogan is...
	It's a regional election, so it's not like he's...
	Well, I think they may be directly connected.
	And by the way, before we go on, I think the phrase gin up.
	Hello, 1950 calling.
	I like it.
	We should start using it again.
	Let's gin it up, you mugs.
	And whenever someone says the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, who even says that anymore?
	I don't know.
	Nobody.
	Hmm.
	Well, if there are elections coming up, if you're in a state of war, you're more likely to get re-elected.
	So there's something to that.
	It's today, though.
	Today, they're voting as we speak.
	Yeah, well, I mean, they didn't execute this scheme.
	But I'm just saying, this wasn't just dreamed up the other day.
	No, it was not good statecraft.
	No, the whole thing is...
	I wonder who leaked it.
	Somebody...
	I think it's either our guys, the NSA... Well, this is kind of the new thing.
	It started with Victoria Nuland, and that was released on YouTube.
	Right.
	Which, of course, always gives me a chance to play our little theme song from it.
	While I'm driving off laughing, this is what I'll say.
	Hey!
	And then we had the ambassador with the no chin monster foreign minister high priestess of the EU Ashton and Where she was saying, oh golly, I didn't know they had snipers.
	Oh gosh, we should look into that.
	Oh gosh, I didn't know.
	That's actually pretty good.
	Then we had the Princess Leia, Julia Tullia, her saying, hey, I want to pick up guns and kill all the Russians, also released on YouTube.
	And now we have this in Turkey.
	YouTube has become kind of the leaker's paradise.
	It's funny, though, because you try putting a print song on YouTube and you get arrested and thrown in jail.
	But, oh, if you've got some statecraft going on, everything's good.
	Yeah, yeah, ironically.
	It's funny.
	Yeah, no, this has all been done with these people who have to be more careful on the phone.
	Give up the phone.
	What is it now?
	Six months?
	Seven months?
	I don't know why they keep yakking on the phone when every call is being recorded.
	I don't use a phone anymore.
	Why bother?
	President Obama continues his European tour.
	You know, the funny thing is, if you were just text messaging, which are also captured, the impact wouldn't be nearly as much as hearing somebody's voice.
	So, you know, if she typed fuck the EU on a text message...
	We could just say it was an autocomplete error.
	You could do that.
	You can't use it as a little jazzy song like we have one of our producers make.
	No, no.
	You couldn't do anything.
	No.
	Yeah, but this is how these people operate.
	Statecraft is still done in person.
	They're talking.
	That's what they do.
	Anyway, so we have this whole propaganda thing going on, and RT is a fantastic example of it.
	And this is not just about Ukraine, obviously, it's about Russia and about...
	And President Obama really laid out the, I think kind of the meme in this interview with CBS was Scott Pele.
	Explaining really, you know, the visual we are supposed to have when you hear the name Putin, here's what you're supposed to think.
	What is Vladimir Putin after?
	Well, if you take him at his word, then...
	Can you?
	Well, on this, I think he's been willing to show a deeply...
	My God, he's really having to think way back.
	How am I going to make this one up?
	And Peli said, can we take him at his word, this lying sack of crap from Russia?
	Held grievance about what he considers to be the loss of the Soviet Union.
	No!
	It gets better.
	You would have thought that after a couple of decades that there would be an awareness on the part of any Russian leader that the path forward is not to revert back to the kinds of Have
	you ever heard him actually say that?
	I've only heard American politicians say he said that.
	I don't think I've actually ever...
	Now that you mention it, I don't...
	I looked.
	I couldn't find anything.
	I could not find it.
	You couldn't find it.
	No, I could not find it.
	Sense of Russian nationalism and...
	Unlike American nationalism.
	Sense that somehow the West has taken advantage of Russia in the past.
	Yeah, I think that would be true.
	And that he wants to, in some fashion...
	Reverse that or make up for that.
	Yeah, that's exactly.
	Make up for it, yes.
	I have repeatedly said is that he may be entirely misreading the West.
	He's certainly misreading American foreign policy.
	He's misreading American foreign policy, which as far as I can see is circle the wagons around Russia.
	I have no interest in...
	Sounds like he's reading it fine.
	The president's going to tell you exactly what he's doing.
	American foreign policy.
	We have no interest in encircling Russia.
	Why are we doing it then?
	We have no interest in putting ICBMs back around the border with Russia, but we're doing it.
	Ukraine, beyond letting the Ukrainian people make their own decisions about their own lives.
	And it is true that we reject the notion that there is a sphere of influence along the Russian border that then justifies Russia invading other countries.
	Certainly they're going to have influence because of trade.
	It's very cavalier to say Russia invading other countries.
	Russia has not invaded any other countries.
	This is real propaganda that you're hearing from the president.
	He's not even letting a spokeshold do it.
	Tradition and language and heritage.
	With Ukraine.
	Everybody acknowledges that.
	But there's a difference between that and sending in troops.
	Which he has not done.
	Because you're bigger and stronger, taking a piece of the country.
	That is not how international law and international norms are observed in the 21st century.
	Unless you're Iraq.
	Obviously, we've got to go in there and kick your ass.
	That's obvious.
	Yeah, and kill hundreds of thousands of people.
	I think we need the same guy who did Putin.
	Putin to do an Obama.
	Okay, so we need someone.
	I forget who the guy is.
	Putin!
	That's John Fletcher.
	All right, so I watched a lot of C-SPAN, a lot, and went back in the archives.
	And by the way, if someone from C-SPAN is listening, your new interface sucks mega balls.
	And your search, your text search used to work great, doesn't work anymore.
	Thanks!
	I think it was done on purpose.
	I've noticed this, too.
	Oh, yes.
	Of course.
	And then there's also missing videos, which are available.
	Yes, yes.
	I was looking for a specific video, and it says this program is not available, even though it shows up in the search.
	So things are being taken out.
	Anyway, so we had a couple of bills, and I discovered something pretty, I think, interesting, which may be one of these things that we are going to be on the lookout for for a couple of years as we track this.
	One of those things, I'm hoping.
	It'll kind of be up to you if we've stumbled onto something here.
	But first, there was an hour-long debate about House Resolution 4278.
	This was the final version of the bill for support to Ukraine.
	And the bill itself is fabulous.
	I mean, just fabulous to read.
	I mean, there's stuff in there to send in weaponry, consultants, if you know what I mean, budgets for security personnel.
	I mean, I've marked the whole thing up.
	It's in the show notes at 604.nashownotes.com.
	I mean, I really marked this thing up all the way.
	It's called the, the subtitle is the Ukraine Support Act.
	Actually, I'll give you the lead-in here.
	It is the policy of the United States to support the right of the people of Ukraine to freely determine their future, including their country's relationship with other nations and international organizations without interference, intimidation, or coercion by other countries.
	We should make this whole bill null and void by definition, but oh well.
	One of the most important things right at the top of the bill was discussed specifically by...
	what is his name?
	Congressman Royce from California.
	Mr.
	Speaker, Moscow is using propaganda to sow confusion and fear and unrest inside the Ukraine right now.
	Oh my goodness!
	What should we do?
	Which it then exploits to justify its actions.
	We need to do something against that!
	To counter that effort.
	This legislation enhances funding for Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and the Voice of America to expand broadcasting in the Russian language, in Ukrainian, in Tatar.
	In order to provide the accurate news and information on the ground across Ukraine.
	No amount of aid will help Ukraine if Russian propaganda rules the day.
	That's right.
	So we need American propaganda.
	Let's bring in free Radio Europe, Radio Liberty.
	And these guys are getting millions.
	If you're in radio, here's the gig for you.
	And they're doing it in all languages, not just Ukrainian and Russian, but they're doing it in English.
	You know, so it's funny to me that someone can literally stand there and say, hey man...
	Radio Free Europe is so 40s.
	Radio Free Europe, 40s suck, he's Batman, Batman, Batman, you like your friends in America.
	That's literally what it is.
	But now they've got websites and stuff.
	But that is at the top of the bill.
	To promote democratic values, transparent and accountable government institutions, and advance United States national security interests through United States international broadcasting, including the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberté, Incorporated.
	I mean, that is the American version of Russia today.
	So believe me, people who are doing the Net Agenda show are laughing just as hard at USA Today.
	Yet agenda.
	Yet agenda.
	That's good.
	Thank you.
	And then, this of course follows along the lines of what I thought was the main reason for this Ukrainian business as it pertains to exporting United States natural gas.
	But there is more.
	But first, let's have Royce explain this.
	This is an interesting guy.
	He does lay it out.
	I kind of like, I appreciate what he did there.
	Energy sales earn Russia not only dollars, but they earn Russia influence because Russia in the dead of winter has turned off the valve.
	Russia's state-controlled gas company, Gazprom, threatened to cut off supplies to Ukraine earlier this month, as it did during the winters of 2006 and 2009.
	For not paying.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because, I don't know, you forgot to pay the bill.
	It happens to me.
	Yeah, BG&E would do that to me locally.
	Yeah.
	Austin, you know, we have, the city of Austin has sent me very nasty grams in the past.
	When I kind of forget.
	...clear this month, as it did during the winters of 2006 and 2009, Gazprom has stated that it is preparing to double the price Ukraine pays for its natural gas, which could cripple the country's already weak economy.
	Which, by the way, is now exactly the plan with the IMF, the subsidies, the citizens, the actual citizens of Ukraine.
	We're enjoying are gone with this bailout package.
	The 50% reduction is now gone.
	Pay full price.
	Now, we have a powerful tool to counter this pressure.
	And it's right here.
	Is that a powerful tool, or are you happy to see me?
	One that is just waiting to be used, and that's our own energy reserves.
	Now listen to it.
	We must remove restrictions on the export of U.S. crude oil and natural gas into Eastern Europe.
	We have, in fact, a letter...
	To the Speaker of the House, from the heads of state, of Poland, of the Czech Republic, of Slovakia, of Hungary, asking us, asking us, direct resources, sell resources.
	Listen, at the end of the day, if we do this...
	of gas here in the United States.
	Oh, bullcrap.
	This is actually interesting because...
	Hold on a second.
	Let me say something about the flaring.
	The president's directive on climate change, the day this speech was made on the floor with this bill, he comes out with new EPA regulations to actually ban flaring in the United States.
	You can't ban flaring.
	It's a relief valve.
	You can do two things.
	Flaring, it happens at the refineries.
	It happens all over the place.
	Something builds up too much pressure and you've got to get it out of there or you're going to have to stop the whole place.
	So you flare off a bunch of gas and it burns pretty well.
	Sometimes it smokes if they've got too much goo in there.
	But whatever the case is, it flares off.
	You have to have the flares there.
	The only thing that would stop the flaring is you don't flare.
	You just turn off the spark so it's not on fire anymore.
	You just blow the gas into the atmosphere.
	You think that's a better solution?
	That's what he's asking for when he says no flaring.
	Seriously.
	That's the only solution to that.
	You just let the shit go into the air.
	Well, obviously, I have no knowledge of that.
	I'm only reading the legislation and the regulations that are being put out, and literally, the same day that this bill and this discussion is in the House...
	The EPA and the Clean Air Task Force are saying, we really need to stop the flaring.
	And then this guy says, hey, I got a great solution.
	Yeah, this is bullcrap.
	Of course it's bullcrap.
	But the real lie here is, first of all, to get our energy...
	You know, the components working, the fracking and the digging and the North Dakota thing and all the rest of it, it was all because, oh, we're too relying on foreign oil.
	We should be self-dependent.
	So we should just close shop and make our own damn oil because we've got plenty of resources.
	And the idea was not to get involved with the international trade of this stuff.
	In the first place, it was for our domestic use, so we can get away from being dependent on foreign oil.
	And so now they're going to try to pull a fast one?
	Is that what you're saying?
	No, let's go.
	Let's get back in the old business.
	I'm just playing...
	This guy's a crook.
	Let me finish this, and then I'll tell you where I think things are really going, and it's actually not this.
	Because of the glut...
	We're able to help our balance of payments.
	We're able to reduce our...
	Our balance of payments.
	Just listen to what he says.
	...deficits.
	It increases Russia's deficits, frankly.
	It produces jobs here in the United States.
	But it comes at a time when Vladimir Putin has a grip on...
	The necks of the decision makers.
	He's got a grip on the necks.
	He's wringing their necks.
	Got a visual?
	In Eastern Europe with respect to his power on monopoly over gas.
	Lifting, frankly, these self-imposed sanctions on ourselves in terms of not exporting.
	It's self-imposed on ourselves.
	It's like masturbation by yourself.
	It was self-imposed for a reason.
	Is this guy a Democrat or a Republican?
	A Democrat, Democrat, Democrat.
	What a stooge.
	...ourselves, in terms of not exporting our excess gas, would not only boost the U.S. economy and create American jobs, as I indicated, but would reduce the energy revenues that comprise 52% of the budget for the military and the government in Russia.
	Okay.
	So I'm kind of with you.
	I don't see that actually happening.
	I see a lot of noise about it.
	I'm not sure.
	By the way, I thought his little comment at the end there was pretty funny.
	Yeah.
	All the money that Russia makes on their gas and oil goes to the military.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Unlike half of the tax revenue here, which goes to the military.
	In this bill, this 4278, which was passed by the House, calls for deployment of international monitors to Ukraine to assess the current status of territorial integrity and the safety of all people.
	It's like a hall monitor.
	Can I see your pass?
	What are you doing?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	The bill causes to combat anti-Semitism and discrimination, which says we need to support Ukrainian efforts to foster greater unity among people and regions of the country, combat anti-Semitism and discrimination.
	Oh, so by implication, there's this whole thing going on as the Russians.
	Of course.
	Yes, of course.
	And that means we have to forbid John McCain from traveling because he likes to hang out with him.
	Promote respect for religious freedom, supporting the people and government of Ukraine in preparing to conduct and participate in free and fair elections, which they had.
	The guy who was there, we had monitors, but okay.
	Somehow we're now changing history.
	There's a lot of talk about money here, about the appropriations.
	Ah!
	Reducing the bloated public sector, maintaining a market-determined exchange rate, and strengthening the vulnerable banking sector.
	Always important.
	You know, we immediately had a new head of the central...
	The guy who was running the central bank got kicked out.
	We put a new guy in.
	One of our guys, of course.
	Then there's the censorship by Russia because they took over the TV stations, anti-democratic programming.
	They really talk about programming, which is interesting.
	So we will prioritize programming to eastern Ukraine, including Crimea and Moldova, and to ethnic and linguistic Russian populations, as well as to Tatar minorities.
	That's the programming.
	It will be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
	At least eight weekly hours of total original television and video content.
	I mean, these guys are literally laying out the programming grid.
	Wow.
	They include the clock.
	Here's the rotation clock for the top of the hour news.
	Traffic on the eights.
	Indeed.
	And then we have...
	Section 104, does the sense of Congress that the Overseas Private Investment Corporation shall prioritize investments in Ukraine?
	Have you ever looked at this thing, man?
	No, what's the name of it again?
	It's the Overseas Investment Corporation, OPIC, and you can find that at opic.gov.
	And these, well, here it is.
	OPIC is the U.S. government's development finance institution.
	It mobilizes private capital to help solve critical development challenges, and in doing so, advances U.S. foreign policy.
	It mobilizes finance.
	What does that mean?
	So I guess that's the real fascistic...
	I love the picture on the front page.
	With the little kids.
	It's about the children.
	Of course it is, yeah.
	And the multi-culti kids, all barefoot, or half of them are barefoot.
	Yeah.
	It is the government's development finance institution.
	So that's basically mobilizing private capital, which is kind of what Kerry was talking about as I went on my C-SPAN quest.
	What I would just say to all of you very quickly is, look, we spend one penny of the U.S. taxpayer dollar.
	On everything that we do abroad in terms of our diplomacy in the State Department and USAID. It's all our development, all of our money, all the things we do for disease, anti-poverty, one penny on the dollar.
	I don't have to tell you, but I'll just say very quickly, I am amazed by the return on that investment.
	Yeah, economic hitman style, of course.
	You put a penny in, you get a dollar back.
	It's fantastic.
	And of course, the people who get the penny don't really get the penny.
	They get to pay us a dollar with their stuff.
	That's how it works.
	Continuing on here, we already provided nearly $7 million in assistance on the Section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act.
	And in case you didn't know, Ukraine has been a long-standing member of NATO's Partnership for Peace.
	The Partnership for Peace.
	Therefore, Congress deems appropriate the Arms Expert Control Act should be increased.
	And the President is encouraged to draw down defense articles from the stocks of the Department of Defense in order to provide security assistance, which could include communication equipment, clothing, fuel, and other forms of appropriate assistance.
	You know, stuff like some water and blankets.
	In consultation, which means we'll send consultants, we'll enhance Ukraine's self-defense through appropriate assistance to improve the capabilities of the country's armed forces.
	You see, when John McCain is talking about sending in weapons, he knows it's already been approved.
	It's approved.
	Now, of course, we will have to have a report, not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this act, and the Secretary of State, that's the watermelon head, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate United States departments and agencies, shall submit to Congress a report on the results of a review of all United States security assistance to the government of Ukraine.
	I'm like, that's great!
	The report required by paragraph shall be submitted in unclassified form, but...
	It may contain a classified annex.
	So that's how it works, people.
	And then there's all this talk about the EBRD, which is the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, which is kind of a European version of the IMF. The thing that is interesting about this bill, and again, it goes on for pages and pages.
	I read the whole thing, and it's 48 pages, and you can read the markup if you're interested.
	What's really interesting is what's not in the bill.
	And it took me a while to get all of the pieces together on this, but Kerry, of course, really laid it out before the first negotiation.
	I don't know if you saw that Harry Reid said, well, we left out the IMF reform because the Republicans are being paid off by the Koch brothers.
	Seriously, that's literally what he was saying.
	That's what he says about everything.
	Yeah, Koch brothers.
	Those Koch brothers!
	But, you know, in no agenda fashion, I closed my eyes and thought, what am I missing?
	There's something that I'm missing here.
	And John F. Cary helped me out.
	In part of making sure that African nations and many other emerging markets make the most of opportunities in improving reforms to the International Monetary Fund...
	It's going to be a critical part of that.
	I think all of you know the IMF has been a central part of the transformation of so many countries.
	And it's also important to greater trade with People in our own hemisphere, as well as right here at home, and particularly for trade with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Korea, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Thailand, all of whom once borrowed from IMF and now are some of the most powerful traders in the world.
	So I'll just close by saying to you that Ukraine's struggle for independence, particularly its financial independence, will depend on Congress ratifying reforms that will help Ukraine borrow through the IMF's rapid financing instrument.
	Our $200 million investment and sovereign loans are needed urgently, but it's only through the IMF, a reformed IMF, that Ukraine is going to receive the additional help it needs in order to stand on its own two feet.
	So Kerry, in typical fashion, tries to really make it obvious that these reforms are important.
	And this is what is not discussed, and please show me in the mainstream media where anyone talked about this.
	And I'm going to try and explain what I think is going on.
	Actually, Menendez, he's a Republican, I think he's a Democrat too.
	He did a pretty good explanation when these IMF reforms were left out of this Ukrainian assistance bill.
	What is being talked about here is the International Monetary Fund 2010 quota and governance reforms.
	I'm going to give you a new term here, multilateralism.
	Actually, we should probably look that one up.
	Multilateralism, the definition.
	Hold on a second.
	I had it here for you.
	International governance of the many.
	Which is pretty much New World Order speak, if you ask me.
	But that's the word.
	Multilateralism is everyone all in.
	It's code.
	It's code.
	So the G20 decided that they needed to have this quota and governance reforms implemented in the International Monetary Fund, the IMF. Now, this is 2010.
	Very interesting, this timing.
	Because you'll recall we had Dominique Strauss-Kahn kicked out of the IMF not long after these 2010 reforms were approved, but they had not been ratified by one country.
	That would be the United States.
	And of course, the whole way that went down, where Strauss-Kahn was kicked out because of this bogative frame-up of him raping a housekeeper, which turned out not to be true.
	But all of a sudden, there is the uber-schill Christine Lagarde.
	She slips right in.
	She's from Chicago.
	She ran Baker McKenzie, probably the largest law firm in the universe.
	And she immediately goes on this whole trip of multilateralism.
	I will say that one of the things that turns out, if you look back at some of the reporting that was done on Dominique Strauss-Kahn, he was at the time floating the idea of SDR bonds.
	And it's complicated for me because I'm not a financial guy, but I do understand how money is created through debt and how the Federal Reserve creates bonds.
	And that's basically how we keep the petrodollar alive because everybody needs dollars.
	So we sell our debt to foreign countries, to the Chinas, but we also have a lot of it ourselves.
	And this is how the petrodollar keeps being used.
	And to enforce...
	Which, of course, started in the 70s with Carter and Kissinger.
	To enforce...
	Countries using the dollar as the monetary unit, the reserve currency for gas and oil, primarily, we kill people.
	So if you decide that you're going to sell it in euros or dinars, Saddam Hussein or Iran, we will rebelize you.
	We will kill you.
	The SDR was developed actually as an alternative to the petrodollar.
	Well, this is what I think is happening.
	I believe that once the United States approves the quota and governance reforms, that is when the SDR will be brought in to replace the petrodollar.
	It doesn't mean the dollar is going away.
	But it means that these commodities will be traded in SDRs instead of dollars.
	And this is actually kind of necessary if you're a New World Order type and you understand how the banking system works.
	If you look at...
	We had a big financial meltdown in 2008.
	Essentially, the Federal Reserve bailed out the universe.
	We lent money to everybody.
	It wasn't just American banks.
	Every single bank in the world, we printed all the money.
	And we continue to print the money, and it's not the United States.
	It's the Federal Reserve.
	It's the private banks.
	Banks create money.
	They continue to create this, and it's called quantitative easing.
	And if we had another glitch in the system, you wouldn't be able to inflate the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve any further.
	The only balance sheet in the world that can actually do it, if these reforms are passed, is the International Monetary Fund.
	So here is Menendez discussing the bill, and he's very angry and upset about this IMF reforms being dropped, and he'll talk about a couple of things, including this letter from the Bretton Woods Society, which is signed by every single neocon bullshit artist in the universe, because they all want it.
	There's a lot of money to be made if this thing happens, and it's kind of nutty, but the whole idea of a new world order currency, I think is actually happening.
	I think he did a good job at explaining this.
	As we take that step, let's realize that it's the IMF that is leading the effort to stabilize Ukraine's fragile economy.
	Congressional ratification of the 2010 IMF reforms would increase IMF emergency funding to the Ukraine by up to 60% and provide an additional $6 billion for longer-term support, setting an important marker for other donors such as the EU and the World Bank.
	Let's be clear about what keeping the IMF provisions would have done.
	The IMF is strengthened at no cost to U.S. finances or influence.
	The United States retains its executive board seat and the sole veto power at no net cost, because the $63 billion increase in the U.S. quota is totally offset by an equivalent decrease to a separate emergency facility.
	This is only necessary for him to say because what happened, I think, in Congress is we got Tea Party guys in and their heart is in the right place, but they have no understanding of real international finance and the system that is precarious on a very precarious teeter-totter at the moment.
	And they're all bitching about some money that would cost.
	They do not understand what is really happening in the IMF and how it works.
	However, other countries would put in new money, increasing the IMF's lending power.
	The fact is, this would be a pure win for the United States.
	The relatively minor costs would have been paid back many times over.
	And we will have Another crisis in the future, in which the IMF will be critical to whether or not that crisis can be diffused and solved.
	So what's happening the way I understand it is all countries now are shoring up their value in order to come up with the proper exchange rate against the SDR. If you go to imf.org right now, you'll see on their homepage...
	You'll see the current SDR versus dollar value, and there's a little calculator there.
	And every single day, there's a, let's see, what do we have, what is the SDR today?
	It's right there, SDR rates for March, interest rate is 0.30%.
	One U.S. dollar is 0.647773 SDRs.
	So they're already really pushing this.
	And the value of the SDR versus your currency is determined upon how much oil and gas you have in your country, how much you're actually producing.
	I think this is what the negotiation about the Key XL pipeline is about.
	Because yes, Canada is going to do very well.
	With the SDR, but if we actually are the ones selling it and we're transporting it, we get a benefit of that.
	A lot of gold is going to the Shanghai Exchange.
	A lot of it's going to China.
	That's all part of the valuation.
	And it really will be...
	What do you have?
	What do you produce?
	What's your GDP? And I think that is what's going on behind the scenes.
	And Bretton Woods, which we'll get to in a minute, is still a society of elites.
	And they sent a letter.
	This is very important that we have these 2010 reforms signed pronto.
	Now, I repeat what I've said before.
	This should not be a partisan issue.
	Presidents Reagan, President Clinton, and both Presidents Bush, all New World Order guys, backed legislation to increase IMF resources.
	And Ronald Reagan called the International Monetary Fund, quote, the linchpin of the international financial system.
	And let us remember that the European Union just approved the single bailout mechanism for their banks.
	This is really happening before our eyes, but I didn't see the big picture until now.
	In a letter to the House and Senate leadership last week, which I asked unanimous consent to include in the record.
	Members of the Bretton Woods Committee, which were the original entities that created some of the international organizations like the IMF that have created global stability, wrote that implementing, this is a quote, implementing the IMF quota reforms bolsters our leadership in the fund and provides the United States with what?
	Leverage to continue to preserve our national security And economic interests abroad.
	Now let me tell you some of the folks that signed that letter.
	Folks!
	Madeleine Albright.
	Aha!
	Former Secretary James Baker, Zivin F. Brzezinski, William Cohen, Stephen Hadley, Henry Kissinger, Tom Ridge, Condoleezza Rice, Clayton Uter, Robert Zulik, Lee Hamilton, Brent Scowcroft, Paul O'Neill, Frank Carlucci, Robert Rubin, Brent Scowcroft, Paul O'Neill, Frank Carlucci, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, John Snow, Henry Paulson.
	This is a bipartisan list of who's who in foreign policy.
	All saying that this is critical to do.
	So here's how I see it playing out.
	And by the way, that was a list of douchebags, if you didn't notice.
	Oh, yeah, of course.
	Madeline Albright at the beginning, please.
	Douchebags.
	I'm not saying that this is a great thing.
	I'm saying this is where it's headed, and they're really pushing hard.
	They tried to slip it into this bill, but failed.
	Yeah.
	Let me stop for a second.
	The SDR thing has been around for a while.
	It's actually a basket full of money that everyone's irked about because of different percentages.
	Since the 60s, yeah.
	This is a direct threat to the way we do business overall, and this is never going to go anywhere.
	This is just a bunch of people waving their arms around.
	This is not going to happen.
	What you think is going on is not going on.
	This is not going to happen in a million years.
	Or we might as well just pull up our tent and go broke because this is just not going to fly.
	This is an internationalist bullcrap idea.
	In fact, if you buy an airplane ticket, if you lose your baggage, they pay you in SDRs some equivalency.
	Right.
	Which is one of the early attempts to try to make this some sort of a currency outside the dollar.
	Right, right, right.
	The problem is with your entire thesis, you're the one that brings in the idea that, you know, anyone tries to go outside the dollar for oil exchange, that we rebelize them.
	But now all of a sudden you're on board with this?
	No.
	It doesn't make sense.
	No.
	I'm hearing John Kerry on board with this.
	That's what I'm hearing.
	I'm hearing the douchebags on board with this, and I'm hearing them push very hard.
	I'm not on board with any of this.
	Don't accuse me of that.
	The guys who really run things that we don't ever hear quotes from are not going to let this happen.
	I disagree.
	I think that they are all in on this.
	I think they totally want this to happen.
	They don't give a crap.
	Yes, they do.
	They do give a crap.
	Because you're going to have SDR bonds.
	All it's going to do is transfer it from the dollar to the SDR. If this is going to happen in any way, shape, or form, it's going to be some sort of screw job that neither one of us are seeing that will be some sort of bookkeeping scam to rip people off.
	But that needs to be discussed.
	How?
	I think it's the restructuring of sovereign debt.
	It's the valuation versus the SDRs where the ripoff takes place.
	I think the Chinese in the new system go from the 8th place to the 2nd place, right behind the U.S., Russia actually does increase a little bit in the new system, and all that has to happen is if this 2010 reform is ratified by the United States Congress, that's when the scam is on.
	Until that happens, in April 11th, there's a meeting of the G20, and the G20 has already announced, hey, if the U.S. doesn't approve this, then we may kick you guys off the board.
	Now, is that really going to happen?
	I don't know.
	I'm just telling you what the elites are saying.
	And these elites are douchebags, but not to be underestimated when John Kerry himself is saying this.
	Now, how is this going to be used, John?
	Climate change.
	That's how it's going to be used.
	They're going to price carbon in SDRs.
	That's how the scam is going to be implemented.
	Now it's so obvious to me.
	And yes, we will have another systemic meltdown.
	You cannot deny that currently we're in a state of craziness on our own market.
	So let's go to the horse's mouth directly, so to speak.
	Christine Lagarde.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And this is from a speech she did to the International Coalition of Douchebags in London six weeks ago.
	And for her, it's very simple.
	We have two historic dates, 1914 and 1944.
	And 1914, of course, is interesting because that came right after 1913 when the Federal Reserve itself was created, which is now celebrating 100 years, and maybe the system is just played out.
	So I invite you to cast your minds back to the early month of 1914.
	By the way, I edited out every er and pause from this woman.
	It's half as long.
	Exactly a century ago.
	Much of the world had enjoyed long years of peace.
	And giant leaps in scientific and technological innovation had led to path-breaking advances in living standards and communications.
	There were few barriers to trade, travel, or the movement of capital.
	The future was full of potential.
	Do you see what she's doing here?
	This is how it's going to play, John.
	We are getting the elites on board, and it's the same time.
	It's like a hundred years ago.
	We had technological advances.
	Wait until Bill Gates starts promoting this.
	1914.
	1914 was the gateway to 30 years of disaster, marked by two world wars and the Great Depression.
	It was the year when everything started to go wrong.
	So what happened?
	What happened was that the birth of the modern industrial society brought about massive dislocation.
	The world was rife with tension, rivalry between nations, upsetting the traditional balance of power and inequality between the haves and the have-nots, within the form of colonialism or the sunken prospects of the uneducated working classes.
	By 1914, these imbalances had toppled over into outright conflict.
	In the years to follow, nationalist and ideological thinking led to an unprecedented denigration of human dignity.
	Technology, instead of uplifting the human spirit, was deployed for destruction and terror.
	Like cyber!
	Early attempts at international cooperation, such as the Société des Nations, fell flat.
	By the end of the Second World War, large parts of the world lay in ruins.
	Terrible!
	So that is, and this is, she's preaching this to the elites, and I want to remind everyone again, she was ready to go when they kicked the Strauss-Kahn guy out, because there's a plan for this.
	There's a plan, and Obama's in on it, and Kerry's in on it, and these douchebag elite, they're all in on it, and I think it's going to be done with climate change.
	But let's look at 1944.
	This, of course, is what Lagarde is going to call the savior, the saving moment, and that was the year of Bretton Woods.
	Maybe you'd like to explain Bretton Woods briefly, John, so we have a historic...
	No, I can't explain it briefly.
	Play the clip.
	I now invite you to consider a second turning point.
	1944.
	In the summer of that year, the eminent economist John Maynard Keynes and a delegation of British officials embarked on a fateful journey across the Atlantic.
	Crossing was risky.
	The sea was rough.
	The world was still at war and enemy ships still prowled the waters.
	Keynes himself was not in good health.
	But he had an appointment with destiny and he did not want to miss that.
	His destination was the small town of Bretton Woods in the hills of New Hampshire in the northeast of the United States.
	His purpose was to meet with his counterparts from other countries.
	Their plan was nothing less than the reconstruction of the global economic order.
	Those 44 nations gathering at Bretton Woods were determined to set a new course based on mutual trust and cooperation, on the principle that peace and prosperity flow from the front of cooperation, on the belief that broad global interest trumps narrow self-interest.
	This was the original multilateral moment, 70 years ago.
	And it gave birth to the United Nations, to the World Bank, to the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, the institution that I'm proud to lead.
	So, that was the first big scam, and I'm pretty convinced that what we're seeing, this back and forth with Putin, these guys are all in on it.
	It's unavoidable.
	We need to bring, as elitist rulers, we need to bring the Chinas and the Russians in, Or the BRICS, let's just call it that.
	They need to bring their resources.
	And ultimately, I don't think anyone in America gives a flying F if they have dollars or SDRs or whatever it is, as long as they're on the winning side of the equation.
	And by putting this new multilateralism in place...
	It's going to give them that opportunity.
	They just have to create an illusion of why we have to do it, because obviously, if you don't plan this and play this correctly, people will take to the streets.
	But I think they're really trying it, John.
	I think this exposition you've just displayed, I wish you would have played Lagarde's thing earlier, it has all the earmarks of unbelievable desperation.
	Yes, I agree.
	It's just these guys, this is it.
	They don't know what to do.
	The world is about to fall apart.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	In fact, today's clips, most of them are about things falling apart.
	And it's like...
	I agree.
	So, I'm agreeing with you.
	And this is the only plan they have is this.
	The new multilateralism.
	That is the ultimate plan.
	That's all that they have.
	Nothing else.
	Yeah, well, I think they should take a little visit to Spain.
	Do you think it won't work?
	No.
	Why not?
	Well, for one thing, you know these people have never been outside of their little bubble, and so they don't know what the hell's going on.
	Russia's not going to play this game.
	They just as soon use dollars.
	They don't care.
	No, how can you say that?
	They have a deal with the Remedy Bee, and they're selling their...
	I know, but they don't care.
	That's what I mean.
	They're not going to...
	How can you say that?
	How can you say they don't care?
	I don't think they care to be in on this scam because they know they're going to get screwed.
	The Russians have figured this out.
	I mean, they're not the dumbest people in the world.
	I don't know.
	First of all, I don't know if they're that smart.
	Second of all, if you take China and Russia and their two votes together, they have more than the United States after the reforms are ratified.
	They don't have necessarily the veto, but they do have a lot of power because China moves right up to number two.
	Yeah, well, here's what's creating this panic.
	China's not playing this game either.
	What's creating the panic is this clip here, which is China in Europe, which the Russia Today people are all over.
	It's taking its chance to make sure China knows its arms are wide open for any investment it can get.
	President Xi Jinping is visiting the continent and Paris and Berlin have laid out the red carpet.
	And the issue of human rights are so often key part of talks between The EU and China is strangely absent this time around.
	Now, on Thursday, the EU trade chief agreed to drop a probe into underpriced talcum equipment imported from China.
	Carol Degut said that's because Europe needs to do much more to attract Chinese investment.
	There was some harsh criticism on China's rights record with Human Rights Watch, describing the conditions most Chinese people live in as appalling.
	But investor and financial commentator Jim Rogers says Europe knows it has to be nice.
	They've got a lot of money, and they're bailing out a lot of people.
	So if you want to maintain your standard of living, you better be nice to people with the money and your bankers.
	For the Chinese, it will be cheap foreign aid.
	If they come in and bail Europe out, then they get a lot of influence.
	If they don't get the influence, they're not going to do it.
	And the worst that happens to the Chinese is they make a loan, they lose everything, but at least they have helped themselves get a lot more power.
	I think you're wrong, John.
	Listen to this.
	This is from last Saturday.
	China's Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyau on Saturday called on U.S. Congress to approve a capital increase for the International Monetary Fund agreed four years ago.
	Zhu said some risks might occur depending on whether or not the U.S. can honor its agreement at the G20 financial minister's meeting, that's in April 10th, to approve reform plans for the IMF.
	We hope the U.S. Congress can make a rational decision and we hope that the reforms of the IMF can be implemented substantially.
	Why would they say that if they're not in on it?
	They're just saying it?
	Everyone's just saying it because it's a joke?
	I don't know.
	I think you're wrong.
	I think that they see how this will work.
	And they're going to be very powerful.
	No.
	No.
	I'm telling you, this never happens.
	This is the kind of thing you're describing as a scenario that we've never played into.
	The United States has never fallen into.
	I'm sorry, what was Bretton Woods then?
	Bretton Woods was the UN, Bretton Woods was the IMF, Bretton Woods was the World Bank.
	Why can't it happen again?
	Bretton Woods was also the main reason for Bretton Woods, my understanding, was to create a trading scheme so you could exchange pounds for francs and francs for francs.
	It would be like a stock exchange.
	And then out of that, because the United Nations, I don't really believe, came out of Bretton Woods.
	I think it still stems from the previous attempt during the Wilson administration to create an international body.
	And the two banks which came out of it, we took over the IMF, essentially.
	We run it.
	And I think it's our Federal Reserve.
	You've premised this whole long spiel with how the Federal Reserve can't print more money.
	They've already tapped out and it's up to the IMF. That's bullcrap.
	It's just the other way around.
	I didn't say that.
	I said if we have another financial crisis, we cannot inflate the Federal Reserve balance sheet another threefold.
	You can't do that.
	I say.
	Well, I don't say that.
	I don't know anyone else who says it.
	The Federal Reserve seems to be able to do it.
	I don't think that's true.
	I don't buy into this.
	You're talking to somebody who thinks that we should probably do more of this kind of printing money because it hasn't resulted in any negative effects.
	We don't have hyperinflation like all these pundits.
	You go four or five years ago.
	Oh, we can't do this because we're going to have hyperinflation.
	It's going to be Germany in the 20s and 30s.
	There's been zero evidence of this.
	These same guys are still blabbering about one thing or another, and that would be one of the things they'd say.
	You can't keep doing this.
	Well, why not?
	We've done it.
	It works.
	It works fine.
	I don't see what the problem is.
	Well, I see that the dollar that I have today is worth significantly less than the dollar I had 20 years ago.
	It's an actual purchasing power.
	Let's go back 20 years and say what we're talking about, 1994.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, the dollars probably got less purchasing, but not a lot less.
	It sure doesn't have as much as the difference between 1970 and 1994, when we weren't printing money like crazy.
	In 1970, gasoline was 25 cents a gallon, and it was like two bucks by 1994.
	Mm-hmm.
	And if you go back another 20 years, you'll see the same effect.
	This has been going on with the dollar forever.
	It's part of the system.
	The system works to very slowly deflate the money.
	It's just the way it is.
	It's been going on since the 1800s.
	So what has that got to do with the price of bread regarding the Federal Reserve tripling the balance sheet?
	Nothing.
	In fact, I would argue that your dollar is relatively worth more than it would have been under another system, especially if they'd let the economy collapse and you'd have deflation.
	God knows what the situation would amount to because I think they would have deflated, besides just deflating the prices of everything, I think the dollar probably would have fallen, making your buying power less.
	So if we have another financial crisis...
	That would probably be a derivatives crisis where somehow we have to come up with a couple hundred trillion dollars.
	You're saying the Federal Reserve will just print it and lend it to everybody again and that will solve everything?
	That just solves the system?
	Or do we bring everybody in and finally implement the multilateralism for a new era, i.e.
	the New World Order, and get all these slaves under control and have the top dogs and it's Putin and it's Kerry and it's Z and it's all these guys run the show?
	I'm not arguing against your thesis that they'd love that to happen.
	I'm just saying it's not going to happen because they've never been able to achieve it in the past.
	The public at large will not put up with this crap.
	I'm sorry.
	The public at large is only interested in why Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are on the cover of Vogue.
	They have no idea what we're talking about.
	No idea!
	They have no clue!
	They'll be all in!
	They don't need to know the specifics.
	When Kerry and Obama get up and say, hey, we're going to be friends with China and friends with Russia and it's time for a new world order, except we'll call it the multilateralism, everyone will be, oh, yeah, we want peace and rainbows and unicorns.
	I'm so glad you have so much faith in your fellow men.
	Why are we even doing the show?
	I'm preparing everybody for the inevitable.
	That's why, yeah, we're doing it for the small percentage of people who are actually interested in the future, but I don't see it as not happening.
	I see it as a very long game, and they've been working on this for a number of years, and I think that there's a shot now, if it doesn't happen now, it'll be another five years, but I think they're really hell-bent on making this happen.
	Well, that's what you think.
	I think they probably have always been hell-bent on making this happen, but I see this as desperation the way it's going.
	I think it has a lot to do with the crap going on in Europe.
	It's completely out of control.
	Spain is rioting.
	Essentially, the whole country is shut down.
	The youth of all of Europe are irked because they can't get work because nobody has any kind of business for them to do.
	You have a couple of interesting situations occurring now with...
	Veneto voting, you know, the area around Venice voting to be an independent country.
	Sardinia.
	Here, play the Veneto and Sardinia clip.
	And following the footsteps of Veneto, the Italian region that recently voted for independence in an unofficial referendum, now the island of Sardinia is seeking to split from Rome.
	But unlike traditional separatism, the Sardinians are urging Rome to sell their island to Switzerland.
	Andre Caruso, one of those spearheading the movement, explained the basis behind the push for secession.
	We don't trust the Italian political and administrative system anymore that has proved to be effective in solving the problems of the country.
	We think beyond any reasonable doubt.
	Of course, we're not blaming single politicians, but the system itself.
	Thank you.
	This is actually, this is making my point.
	I appreciate it.
	How does this make your point?
	Everyone's saying the system itself.
	Everyone's talking about the system itself.
	In Spain, the system itself.
	This is exactly, they're all saying the same thing.
	We need a new system.
	I'm not saying the system's going to work.
	I'm saying that's the plan.
	They're going to implement this system, John.
	They can't do it with all this balkanization going on.
	And these aren't the only countries that are having these issues.
	I mean, Scotland wants to leave the UK. And if you read the latest news, they specifically say they talk about financial support if they, under certain conditions, the UK would provide financial support to them, which is specifically talking about the IMF support for Scotland.
	I'm telling you, this is really, really big.
	I know you don't like it, but what else are they going to do?
	What is Spain going to do besides let their people starve, which seems to be the only thing left?
	Well, we have to look at the way Spain got this way.
	They were all in on the EU, which was one of these schemes that you're advocating for.
	No, no, no.
	Do not make the mistake in saying I'm advocating for any of this.
	That pisses me off because I'm not.
	I'm analyzing.
	Let's say that the Spanish essentially did the following.
	When I was there, I brought this up and nobody disagreed with me.
	They got into the EU, borrowed a crap load of money with no intentions of ever paying it back.
	They just saw it as free money.
	This is the kind of thinking that these IMF guys and all the rest of them are going to be running into because the way the economic hitman program worked was kind of like this.
	It was expecting you to do that.
	You came in.
	Here's some money.
	You spent too much of it.
	You couldn't repay it back because of all the benefits that you were going to gain from all this infrastructure and other improvements.
	It never came to be because you didn't open the right factories.
	You didn't have the right profit margins.
	Who knows what?
	And so you couldn't pay the money back to the IMF. And so then they started...
	Grinding you down with austerity programs, privatization of all the stuff that you owned.
	Now it's got to be owned by Chevron.
	And then you were like complete slaves, which has happened to most of the South American countries until they finally rebelled.
	But this has been going on long enough, but they always kick back on it.
	When this happens to the public, they go crazy.
	Yeah, it hasn't happened here where we're preoccupied with Kanye West, largely because the Federal Reserve has done its job of keeping the people happy.
	And that's another, just like a little overlooked point here.
	The people who are here are all, yeah, Kanye West, and let's see what else is on.
	Oh, we got the country awards coming up today.
	All that sort of thing.
	Because we haven't had these, we haven't been put into that tumultuous situation.
	If we are, they're going to be rioting in the street.
	The American public...
	We'll put up with lots, but they won't put up with everything.
	I don't think this is going to...
	What you're describing is not going to fly.
	I'm not saying it's going to fly.
	I'm saying they are really trying to do it.
	Jack Lew.
	You know who Jack Lew is?
	You heard of him?
	Oh, I heard of Jack Lew.
	He's my mechanic over here.
	The Lexus.
	The Lexus mechanic.
	But he only works on pre-2000 machines.
	He's our treasury secretary.
	He took over from Timmy, little Timmy.
	He is pleading with Congress.
	He's on his knees.
	Please, please, please pass these reforms.
	He's pleading!
	I can't make up what's happening.
	This is literally what is going on.
	So whatever we think this will do, that's not what they're thinking.
	They are all in on this.
	Jack Lew saw one too many PowerPoint presentations.
	The guy is not an economist.
	He's a lawyer.
	I'm not saying he's right, John.
	I mean, I'm reminded, I was just irked by the, you know this guy Cuckoo, whatever his name is, Cuckoo?
	The Japanese guy with the white hair who's a physicist.
	Yeah, Kriku, the douchebag scientist who talks about global warming, but he's a physicist.
	Yeah, Kriku.
	Kriku.
	Oh, I just...
	Whatever, Kriku, Kriku, Kriku.
	So he was on something.
	He's got two books out.
	He's got one book on global warming, which he's a physicist.
	And he's not about glory.
	He doesn't know anything about glory.
	He's not a climatologist.
	He's a physicist.
	But he's in on board.
	I mean, I would still say Freeman Dyson.
	I would take his side of the argument rather than this character's.
	But he's got this new thing he's got about brains.
	You get downloading your brain into some sort of thing.
	We're so...
	Anyway, the point is that that guy shouldn't be talking about brain science, even though he's a famous physicist.
	Well, thank you, John.
	But he is the Secretary of the Treasury.
	Yes, we've been overrun with douchebags and nincompoops.
	All government is filled with douchebag and nincompoops.
	What I feel to understand is why you get angry when I'm just pointing out that this seems to be happening and you just, oh, it's not going to happen.
	Well, they're sure going to try it.
	It won't work.
	Or maybe whatever they think is going to work is going to work.
	But I just don't think it will.
	No, it just sounds to me when you outline something with this great detail, it's like you're subscribing to it as a foregone conclusion.
	I'm subscribing to the facts as I see them presented by these people.
	Why else?
	Do they try to slip this into a Ukraine bailout or a security safety help them bill?
	And why is there such a big deal about it?
	And why is Kerry going into such a degree about it?
	Why is President Obama putting it at the top of his agenda?
	Why is the Chinese putting it at the top of their agenda?
	Because they want this!
	They want this!
	I'm not saying whoop-de-doo!
	To me, it's all an illusion.
	The whole fucking money thing is an illusion.
	Well, that I believe is true.
	Well, we're in the system, and they want a new Bretton Woods, and the idea is, go look at the IMF homepage.
	The SDR is right there.
	As you said, we'll be using it internationally already.
	They want this to be the reserve currency.
	And I'm pretty sure that the Federal Reserve is all in on that, and they're setting up, and they've probably got...
	I'm not convinced.
	This is that supposition.
	I'm not buying.
	See, this is what I'm talking about.
	You think everybody's in on this.
	I don't believe that's true, and you have no evidence of it.
	You have no evidence that the Federal Reserve is all in on this.
	Why would they be?
	It seems like a conflict of interest to me.
	Because the Federal Reserve is a bunch of banks who we don't even know who they are.
	So yeah, I'm pretty sure they're in on it.
	They're hedging at best.
	Well, that could be.
	They're always hedging.
	Yeah, they're just banks.
	It's just banks.
	It's not like some super institution.
	It's just banks.
	So what do banks do?
	They deal with money.
	And if there's a better way to make it by scamming people some other way, they'll do that.
	I think they want.
	In fact, I'll say this.
	I'm going to go out.
	I have no evidence.
	I think the Federal Reserve banks are behind it.
	This is now you have the ultra Federal Reserve.
	You get to create bonds for the whole world and not just America.
	That's what I'll tell you.
	Well, I'll accept that as a crazy idea.
	Thank you.
	I can't wait until we thank producers for sending us 472 SDRs and becoming an Insta Knight.
	Yeah, we do have a few people to thank.
	Well, let me say thank you for your courage, John, and in the morning to you.
	Well, in the morning to you.
	Fabian, in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the days and nights out there.
	You know, when someone's on the schoolyard and they want to say something nasty to you and all they can say is Fabian, it's a sad day.
	I mean, you're not going to get my lunch money with that.
	There's no way.
	I'm looking for something that's appropriate.
	And in the morning to our artists, thank you very much, Cosmo, for bringing us the artwork for episode 603, noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And in the morning to the human resources in the chat room, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	We do have one instant night, which is how we are able to come up with conversations like this and disagree...
	To the extreme, if necessary, and not be all in with whatever the advertisers wanted us to do.
	We have executive producers and associate executive producers and producers, and not a big list at all today, although luckily Brian House came in and kind of saved the day.
	Yeah, Brian House came in with $1,000 from Batto Bay, which is kind of a redundant name for a bay.
	New South Wales, Australia.
	I opened my newsletter this week with indifference until I saw that sweet little stoned kitten.
	Not being able to resist stoned pussy for too long, I have gifted your most excellent podcast another 10 basamogens, $10,000, to help common sense coursing through the width and breadth of them internets.
	Keep up the good work, gents.
	No, Jen is a worthwhile institution, and I dig that you don't sell seeds, water filters, or drops that might make your knob get hard.
	to celebrate my baronet.
	And I have a George Clooney is a spy.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Not that gay toe-tapping version.
	Topped off.
	It's too delicious to believe, my friends.
	Where is the...
	The only one I can't seem to find is the...
	Too delicious.
	Have we not...
	Have we...
	So he is a baronet.
	He's already a knight.
	I got it.
	So he's just a double knight now.
	Well, let's roll it out.
	George Clooney.
	Is a spy.
	Yeah.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Macaroni and cheap cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Karma.
	Oops.
	Yeah, a little steppage, but...
	A little steppy.
	Steppy, steppy.
	Todd Brink in New Berlin, Wisconsin, $300.
	Hello, boys.
	Thank you so much for the fuck cancer two weeks ago.
	I wrote in and told you about my brother, Jason, who has an extremely rare form of brain cancer.
	He's going to go on surgery.
	The show was running long, and Adam made John stop and give Jason a...
	F-cancer karma, I guess.
	F-cancer karma, yeah.
	Did it cure it?
	Well, he later got...
	So we don't know.
	Wouldn't it be great?
	No agenda.
	It solves the world problems and cures cancer.
	Yeah, I wonder how long that would last you before the FTC came a-knocking.
	Yeah.
	We do have laws to obey.
	Edgar Rothermich in West Hollywood, California, 2222.
	He'll be associate executive producer for show 604.
	My name is Edgar Rothermich.
	Mish.
	It's probably Rothermich.
	Rothermich, I'm guessing.
	My last donation was back in December when I promoted my book, Logic Pro X, How It Works.
	Now I finished a new book.
	He's on a roll here.
	So it's time for a new $200 donation with a new shameless self-promotion.
	Just released my book, Garage Band X, How It Works.
	He's the How It Works guy.
	He is.
	Available on my website, www.dingdingmusic.com manuals.
	Slash manuals.
	Slash manuals.
	Dingdingmusic.com.
	That's a good one.
	It's the first and only manual for Apple's new version of GarageBand.
	Is that even still a product?
	Yeah, apparently.
	Huh.
	I'm sure many of the No Agenda show listeners use GarageBand for their music productions and might be interested to check out the book.
	It's released in my Graphically Enhanced Manuals book series together with other manuals I wrote for Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro.
	That's the one I need to read.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, www.dingdingmusic.com.
	And finally, Sir Mac Tank from La Jolla, California.
	And I didn't get a note from him.
	I didn't either, I don't think.
	And he came in with $200, and that's it for our executive producer.
	And if, Mac, you have anything to say, send another note, I'll dig it up.
	Or I'll look for one in the meantime.
	But anyway, that's what we got for show 604-2-2.
	And I want to remind people, we got another show on Thursday, and we need additional help.
	Combined with your smackdown of my IMF uncovering, I feel bad I did any work at all.
	Why did I even show up today?
	Just to get derated and called Fabian?
	I mean, seriously?
	Wait a minute, you said that was the wimpiest thing I could have said.
	Well, it's hurtful regardless.
	It is.
	Now be quiet.
	Hurtful, hurtful.
	Why don't you all go out there and propagate our Fabianic formula?
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hear people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Water.
	Shut up, play.
	Shut up, slave.
	All right.
	So I ran into a clip.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	Actually, I got a couple ones here.
	I got one.
	Okay, let's change the pace here.
	Because we had an argument.
	And we have our arms crossed.
	Well, the only thing that's upsetting is that you keep thinking that I'm all in and I love it.
	No, I don't think that.
	You just said it.
	That's all.
	You just kept saying it.
	You're all in.
	You're buying in.
	You hate it because you want the Federal Reserve to print a million trillion dollars a second.
	That's what you want.
	You don't like the New World Order.
	Me neither!
	Okay, alright.
	It's a depressing scenario.
	You could have shortened it to be less depressing.
	I want it to be really depressing.
	I got the New World Order for you right here.
	Play the SFO fiasco.
	Okay.
	And by the way, we have to call it the multilateralism for a new era.
	Just getting this news in out of SFO's International Terminal, hundreds of arriving passengers are stuck waiting because of a glitch with the Customs and Border Patrol computer system.
	There are reports, as we look live at the airport, that some passengers have passed out due to exhaustion and dehydration while waiting for hours.
	An SFO duty manager says they're bringing water to passengers and taking care of those feeling lightheaded.
	Wow.
	Man, oh man.
	What did we used to do before we had computers at the gate?
	We just took the paper ticket.
	Well, you also stamped the passport.
	Now, was this coming in?
	Was this immigration?
	Yeah, coming in.
	Oh, my God.
	And so you've already flown for 12 hours.
	Yeah, well, SFO is a gateway to Asia, so yeah, 12 hours at least.
	And I'll bet you it was stinky.
	Oh, stinks.
	Ugh.
	And now you're just standing in line for two hours?
	Plus?
	Two hours plus?
	The funny thing is...
	If I was a novelist, by the way, I would have set the system down so all of a sudden they give up and they start stamping people and their crook comes in.
	But it's not likely.
	You know, this whole thing with immigration, and ever since that was taken over by Department of Homeland Security, it's been nothing but a mess.
	It's a huge mess.
	And immigration is just an incredible mess.
	Although, you know, Joe Biden, who still thinks he has a shot at becoming president...
	He's always thought it.
	He's not still.
	Yeah, well, let's see.
	On Thursday, we had Joe pandering to the LGBTQIAAP community, saying, hey, I'm with you, gays.
	Is that what he said or not?
	That was a great quote.
	He didn't quite say that.
	Now he's thinking, I know.
	Maybe I can pick up another 11 million Mexicans.
	Yeah, that's what I'll do.
	11 million people living in the shadows.
	This is him speaking at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
	So he's out on the trail.
	It's a stump speech.
	I believe they're already American citizens.
	Teddy Roosevelt said it better.
	He said, Americanism is not a question of birthplace or creed or a line of dissent.
	It's a question of principles, idealism, and character.
	These people are just waiting.
	Waiting for a chance to be able to contribute fully.
	And by that standard, 11 million undocumented aliens are already Americans, in my view.
	By the way, by the way, for someone whose wife was deported, has spent thousands of dollars on paperwork and bullcrap, this is so offensive to me.
	This is so offensive.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	And you're not the only guy.
	No, but I mean, seriously, this is...
	Very insulting.
	All they want.
	They just want a decent life for their kids, a chance to contribute to a free society, a chance to put down roots and help build the next great American century.
	I really believe that.
	Yeah.
	That's what they're fighting for.
	And one more thing, by the way.
	Vote for Joe!
	I hear about, you know, about immigrants coming.
	Look, this is a self-selection process.
	It's one of the reasons made us a great country.
	Yeah.
	He's great.
	It takes a whole hell of a lot of courage.
	Listen to this.
	This is great.
	Ready for a visual?
	Okay.
	You will vote for Joe because it took a whole lot of courage to be sitting at a wooden kitchen table somewhere, anywhere in the world.
	In a shack in Mexico, a little wooden table, thinking...
	And say, you know what?
	In a way.
	I tell you what, kids, let's all pick up and go to America.
	Come on, kids.
	Where we don't speak the language, where they don't seem to want us, where it's going to be really, really rough to get there.
	But let's go.
	Won't that be fun?
	Vote for Joe!
	Vote for Joe!
	If you're Mexican, vote for Joe!
	Quarter line clip of the day.
	And I think the administration, the Obama people, they think it's so funny.
	Like, hey, man, look, I'm in the Vatican.
	That freaking podcast.
	Let Joe do the podcast, man.
	He'll love that.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Joe Biden.
	I'm filling in for President Obama, who is abroad.
	I'm filling in.
	Hey, everybody.
	I'm here to do the top 20 countdown.
	I'm Joe Biden filling in for the president.
	What a dumb dumbo.
	I'm filling in.
	Meanwhile, Valerie Jarrett...
	I am the president.
	Valerie Jarrett, who is actually the president, she was out in Hollywood.
	Of course, we're trying to get the youngins to sign up for that Obamacare Affordable Care Act so that if we get enough of them healthy people, then the rest of the American people won't have to bail out the insurance companies.
	Which is pretty much what was in the law.
	Right.
	That's exactly what's going to happen, too.
	Yeah, but we still have to make it look good.
	Although I believe Valerie Jarrett actually believes the dope she is smoking.
	She goes on PopSugar.
	Which is, it's like a TV show with what came from a blog.
	Pop sugar?
	Yeah, that has like YouTube stars are hosting it.
	And she's got her hip knee pants on with her.
	So here's the look.
	She's got cocky knee pants with high heels, blue high heels.
	I don't care who you are.
	This is not a good look.
	And she's talking about how she's going to help Hollywood help us with the Affordable Care Act so we can communicate to the children.
	That's the cool thing.
	You've been reaching out to people that are outside of the norm of what the president might work with.
	Who else are you working with?
	Celebrities, personalities, things like that.
	You name it.
	That's part of why I'm in L.A. I'm meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the script.
	We're talking to celebrities.
	We're talking to athletes.
	What?
	We've got to get it into the scripts!
	We're talking to actors.
	We're talking to celebrities.
	Obviously, they get injured a lot.
	And many of them are the same age as the market we're going after.
	And what they can say is, look, you never know when life is going to throw you a curveball.
	You're walking down the street.
	You're a little clumsy.
	You trip your fall.
	Where do you end up?
	Emergency room.
	Exactly.
	A couple grand just to walk in the door.
	My goodness.
	Who can afford that?
	I really love the Mom Knows Best campaign, too.
	My gosh.
	You've got all the moms in there.
	Super cute.
	Aren't they cute?
	And what they all said is, what do moms do?
	We try to take care of our children, even when they're grown.
	And what we want to do here is like, Meg, we were really good at math.
	I'm a mom, so I know.
	I'm a really good nag, and I can come at the same issue like 20 different ways until my daughter goes, okay, uncle, I'll just do it.
	And so what could be more important as a parent than making sure that our children have the insurance they need?
	So we're doing it lightly, and we're doing it with humor, but there's a really very serious message there.
	We are so in the wrong racket.
	How could you even watch this?
	I'm looking at it now.
	There's this guy who also looks like it could be a girl, Tyler, and this other dingbat, and they're kind of like sitting on these chairs.
	Is this the same thing she's wearing blue, Valerie is, with stupid shorts on?
	Yeah, that's what I'm telling you.
	It looks horrible.
	Okay, yeah, you're right.
	Yeah, you're right.
	We're in the wrong business.
	Yeah, we should be in the pop sugar business.
	Yeah, we should be doing some crap like this.
	These two guys, these look like two morons interviewing her, asking the dumbest stuff, which you should emphasize there, but this goes on forever.
	Okay.
	That's great.
	More depressing stuff.
	It's not depressing.
	This is depressing.
	While you're calling me Fabian for uncovering the huge global financial scam, this is what's...
	Hey, Fabian was a very famous pop star in the 60s.
	This is what's on the news here in America.
	They're doing so as we're speaking to you here, trying to find any sign of a jet that's been missing for 23 days.
	Now, one of the objects spotted yesterday by a Chinese ship that...
	Just making it worse.
	Now, listen to it!
	I don't play it without reason.
	There's a reason.
	A Chinese ship, that orange object we were talking about, it turned out to be a dead jellyfish, so nothing there.
	But other suspicious objects which we have yet to be identified.
	It was a dead jellyfish.
	Who knew?
	Jellyfish turn orange when they're dead.
	Where'd you get that clip?
	I just watched and just recorded the freaking television, man.
	Oh, that's CNN. Of course, it's CNN. The Missing Plane Network.
	Excuse me, but I'm an ethical journalist.
	I only report the news I manufacture.
	There you go.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Meanwhile...
	Very interesting report that has gotten a little bit of play, which very much plays into our six-week cycle.
	And let me just revisit that for people who may be new, but you've probably heard about the six-week cycle.
	It's very simple.
	The FBI, specifically the FBI, every six weeks needs to do something to thwart a major terrorist plot, typically with patsies they have set up for months in advance.
	Who are then given a fake cell phone to key in some digits for nothing to blow up, but then they can make a big brouhaha about it, arrest these people, and continue with the budgets.
	It's all about the FBI continuing with their budgetary process.
	And the dimwits that they pick are always feeble-minded and they'll do anything.
	Now listen to this report about the Boston Marathon bombing.
	Phil, these motions filed today by Jahar Janiya's defense team give us some insight into the strategy they may use at trial to portray the older brother, Tamerlan, as the ringleader and Jahar as a younger brother forced to follow suit.
	In motions filed Friday, Jahar Zirnaev's defense team asks the judge to order prosecutors to turn over the government's surveillance of older brother Tamerlan, obtained during a 2011 investigation following a tip from Russian authorities.
	The defense believes any evidence showing Tamerlan's pursuit of jihad would support the theory that he was the more radical brother and the mastermind of the Boston Marathon bombing.
	This is a very complicated case that got a little bit more complicated today because now you're talking about lawyers wanting even more evidence.
	So expect the government to fight it.
	Expect the defense to say that they need it in order to move forward with the trial.
	The defense says the FBI had contacted Tamerlan multiple times before the bombing to speak with him about his questionable internet searches and even asked him to be an informant, a claim the government denies.
	The defense goes on to talk about Tamerlan's alleged role in a triple murder in Waltham in 2011, saying that would powerfully support the fact that Jahar experienced his older brother as an all-powerful force who could not be ignored or disobeyed.
	So this is interesting in a number of ways.
	Mainly that it appears the FBI was setting him up to be a patsy.
	I'm going to tell you, John, and this is something that I think maybe very early on, We talked about this.
	These things were never supposed to explode.
	That was our basic thesis.
	Our original thesis was this was an FBI scheme.
	These two guys were the patsies.
	And either the bombs went off for some unknown reason or they weren't supposed to go off or whatever it was.
	This is what our original thesis was.
	And it was an accident.
	And that's why there's so much discrepant information.
	There's no evidence of them putting the bombs in the cans.
	Even though they say there's a videotape.
	Everything leads to this...
	The explanation we had...
	Everything since then, including all the discrepant bull crap about he was here, he ran over his brother in the car, he was shot, or the guy had his foot on the guy's head, and the car went by.
	Well, John, not just that, but it so explains they had bomb-sniffing dogs, there was a drill before the marathon, they had all these dudes walking around with dubious intent.
	I mean, this was supposed to be a big...
	Six-week cycle.
	Look how good we are.
	But then the thing, something went off.
	They were supposed to catch it in advance.
	Which, I believe, that maybe a few of these, you know, crisis actors, that may have actually, there may have been crisis actors.
	I think some people really did get hurt.
	But it was never supposed to go down like that.
	And they were talking to these guys, to this moron for months.
	This is what they do.
	And do you remember originally they said that there was a big to-do over, why didn't the Russians tell us anything?
	Remember that?
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	You find out the Russians did?
	No, this is bad news all around.
	This was a screw-up.
	I think it's pretty obvious.
	Which is why we had the huge manhunt, because we needed to get these guys to shut them up, shut them down, shoot them in the neck, kill the brother, shoot the other one in the neck.
	And by the way, at the end of this clip...
	Hold on a second.
	Crap, I shouldn't...
	He couldn't talk after he was shot, if you remember.
	Yeah, he couldn't talk.
	And then the other kid who actually knew something, shoot him in the back of the head.
	This is a cover-up of epic proportion.
	Epic proportion.
	At the very end of this clip, I should have played the whole thing.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me just get that for you.
	That's why these lawyers are after all this documentation, because they find the proof is in the document.
	That's why the government's not going to give up anything.
	Listen to this.
	Listen to this.
	And therefore, a death sentence would not be appropriate.
	And the defense is hoping that there will be enough doubt to avoid convictions on a number of counts.
	For example, Jahar Zanaev is charged with causing serious bodily injury to MBTA Transit Police Officer Dick Donahue during the shootout in Watertown days after the bombing.
	But the defense says discovery turned over so far shows Donahue was actually shot by fellow officers in the chaos.
	This is everything we talked about.
	And then there's another piece.
	I think the key is going to be...
	You remember the guy who they hijacked his car and were like, eh, drive me to New York?
	Oh, this story has been...
	There was a whole thing in Alternet written by that guy who wrote that Bush book, Family of Secrets.
	That reporter...
	Writing an alternate, because no one else would publish this, went at that specific single fact and debunked the crap out of it in a very long article.
	And that guy's a real investigative reporter.
	Our gay crusader, Brian, also did some work.
	If you look at the timeline, at a certain point they're talking about, you know, they locked him in the car and then they went to go buy something in the gas station.
	And if you look at the photo, the original photo, you'll see that both brothers are outside of the car because you see the reflection of them in the window of the gas station's shop, meaning that the guy was just in the car.
	It warrants a longer explanation, but I think that with that Chinese student who went unnamed and we never heard from him again, he's probably dead, too.
	Or like that phony guy.
	Yeah, well, he's probably, if he was real, he's dead.
	No, he's an actor.
	He never did, no.
	Yeah, he's just an actor.
	He's an actor.
	I'm with you.
	I'm with you on that.
	I mean, the FBI tries, when they're in assassination mode, they try to minimize it.
	I mean, they're just not shooting up the place.
	They're only killing a few people.
	Well, a few is good.
	No, I think you're right.
	I think this is the biggest, this is an epic proportion cover-up.
	And, of course, you can't bring this kind of topic up in polite company like your Obama dinners without everyone just jumping all over you.
	Yeah, man.
	Last one, May 2nd, it's all over.
	Done.
	Forget about it.
	Never have them again.
	Well, May 2nd, you might find some other bots in town.
	There are places crawling with them.
	I don't think I'd find any bots who would actually allow me to do what we do.
	And I'm not so sure they like me at all anymore, quite honestly.
	Well, I wouldn't.
	It's alright, they can always go on a new radio show.
	Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, just announced that he's not seeking re-election in November.
	The seven-term Michigan Republican and former FBI agent is a prominent voice on national security issues.
	Rogers told a Detroit radio station that he plans to host a radio show of his own.
	Now, this story.
	Yeah, I was hoping it should come up.
	I didn't get the clip.
	You got the clip.
	This needs discussion.
	So he was hired by Cumulus.
	The big boys.
	The big boys, yeah.
	Well, they're number two behind...
	Is it Clear Channel, I guess?
	Whoever runs Limbaugh out is the number one.
	No, that's...
	No, Limbaugh runs...
	He's on...
	Is he on Premiere?
	Yeah.
	I think he is, yeah.
	I think he's on Premier.
	Pumulus has...
	They've got a lot of stations.
	Well, they've got a lot of big names on their list of talkers.
	Who was on their list of talkers?
	Well, Michael Savage, who's number two.
	Right.
	He's on their list.
	I had the list in front of me, and I forgot half the names.
	They must have offered him a lot of money.
	Which makes you wonder...
	why would they do this?
	He has no experience.
	He is a terrible, I can't even imagine being a conversationalist, which you have to do if you're going to be doing that kind of work.
	And you have to be able to talk a lot.
	And he can do that, but he doesn't have anything to say.
	So I think that he was bought and paid for by an intelligence agency to get out of the position he's in for some reason.
	I don't know what, maybe the battle between the CIA and NSA thing going on or something.
	He's an embarrassment.
	And he was just, he was essentially bought off and given this phony job, which won't last, it won't last a year.
	If he's on more than a year, I'd be surprised.
	Well, they don't even have a day part for him yet.
	They don't even know where they're going to put him.
	No, there's no slots.
	Yeah, so I'm not quite sure what they're going to do with that.
	Hey, is Mike Rogers here on the weekend shift?
	Well, that's probably where they'd start him.
	Yeah, but that's horrible.
	But what kind of money?
	A few million or something?
	I don't know what they lured him out with.
	Do you think that he's...
	And it's a cushy job he's got.
	Everyone who wrote about this, why is this guy quitting this job?
	Radio is actually hard.
	Is he being blackmailed out of the job?
	Is there something that we don't know about that would be coming out?
	I mean, this kind of guy with his background, his credentials, he can start his own consultancy.
	He can go to any number of Homeland Security consultancy gigs.
	That would be the typical thing to do.
	Yeah, he could go work for Chertoff.
	Easily.
	Easily.
	Get right into that operation.
	He'd go work for Albright, anybody.
	And they'd be happy to have him.
	He could just be on the board.
	He wouldn't even really have to show up.
	He'd just have to use his connections.
	So I think that is the only logical conclusion, is that someone said, you are out.
	And I'm going to call my buddy and I'm going to get you some gig here so we can get you something.
	But you're out.
	You're not doing it.
	He must have messed something up.
	That's my exact same thinking.
	Yeah, I think he messed something up.
	And he's not even doing the interviews anymore.
	Now we have Dutch Ruppersberger.
	A couple things.
	First of all, the name Dutch.
	This is no good.
	You're Dutch.
	You can't call it Dutch.
	So Ruppersberger...
	Where does that name stem from?
	Why does anyone ever get called Dutch?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Didn't they call Reagan...
	Ronald Reagan was Dutch, wasn't he?
	Okay, let's see.
	Etymology...
	Would it be etymology or nameology?
	Etymology of name Dutch.
	I wonder what that is.
	Behind the name Dutch.
	No, behind the name?
	No, no, no.
	There's a lot of...
	See, this is where Google is not helpful.
	No, Google has actually, the whole internet's slowly failing.
	Not so slowly, actually.
	I think it just tipped over the edge on this one for me.
	Well, they got going, Dutch.
	That's another insult.
	Yeah, and for those who don't know, in the Netherlands, we say that there will be an American party.
	For people who split the bill?
	Yeah.
	An American party?
	Yeah.
	Opens americans is what they call it, in the American way.
	Which, if you think about it, is true.
	In America, everyone splits the bill, always.
	Yeah, a lot of times.
	Anyway, so Dutch Ruppersberger is now the spokeshole for these NSA reforms.
	So, as I pointed out, the last time we heard from Mike Rogers when he was still alive, they may just have a whole bunch of samples of this guy and they've killed him already.
	They're just going to do a radio show with a soundboard.
	Hi, I'm Mike Rogers.
	Welcome to Cumulus!
	So now Rupert's Burger is speaking on their behalf.
	So the White House has something they want to do with the NSA telephony metadata, which is important to say telephony metadata.
	And these guys are working on a bill which is not going to be done for, I don't know, August or whatever.
	You know, they're taking their time, but they're talking about it now.
	And there's one slight difference between what the White House wants and what is actually going to be done.
	Here's Dutch Ruppersberger to explain it along with Andrea Mitchell, I think, is doing the interview.
	We both have the courts looking at what we call the information that's going to be used to give us the ability to get the telephone data that we need to protect us from terrorist attacks.
	This guy is so good.
	Every other word is terrorist attack, 9-11, safe, liberty, safe, terrorist attack, safe.
	The White House would have the court prejudge the issue, and we would have the court oversee the procedures.
	We both are in a position that after we get the metadata numbers, no content at all, and give you an example, if a terrorist from Yemen, a safe house in Yemen, is calling the United States, we want to find out who he's calling and whether there's a conspiracy there.
	And so we clearly have the court viewing that after the fact.
	Before the fact, we're a little bit different, but we're still looking at it, we're still negotiating.
	That's my point.
	I mean, that is a clear difference.
	The president's plan would do it before the fact.
	You would do it after the fact.
	You would argue that you can't wait, that the intelligence community needs to move more quickly than to wait for a FISA judge.
	Well, that's exactly the point.
	Our point is that we want to give flexibility.
	If there's an attack that is coming, we want to be able to jump on it right away.
	We have to learn from 9-11.
	I've got to learn from 9-11!
	If we would have had this metadata program, this bulk collection before 9-11, there's a good chance we could have stopped the attack.
	And the reason is because we didn't know the terrorist was in San Diego coordinating the attack.
	But yet, because of all the information out there, the public had a concern that the NSA was violating privacy.
	So that was not the case.
	There was no indication at all.
	In fact, our representatives say these are good people that go to work every day and care about protecting the people.
	But notwithstanding that, we've listened and we've changed the concept so the government will no longer hold the bulk data.
	So there's one small issue left, and that is the issue of whether we get more flexibility before The court gets involved versus after they get involved.
	And by the way, we're still working with the White House.
	We need to resolve this.
	We need to get this bill passed in the House, in the Senate, and have the President sign it so we can protect Americans and yet maintain the privacy that we care so much about in this country.
	Oh, maintain the privacy we care so much about.
	We don't care about that.
	No one cares about their privacy.
	No one.
	No one.
	Did you see the Google user data privacy video?
	No.
	Oh my gosh.
	It's like a board game with Playmobil figures.
	Oh my goodness.
	This was produced by Google?
	Yes.
	I can play the audio if you're interested.
	It's really annoying.
	But seeing the video is even better.
	But it's too long.
	I could play it as an end of show clip.
	No, no, no.
	It's okay.
	I'll look at it.
	Put it in the show notes and I'll look at it.
	So this whole thing, they explain how they're protecting your privacy, but then at a certain point, if you watch the video, it's like a road sign.
	They show the different data that the government can request from Google.
	And of course, what are we really thinking about when we think about stuff that they would request from Google?
	Gmail, obviously.
	What else?
	Conversations on the Google Talk.
	They literally have a Chrome icon.
	So I guess anything that you do in Chrome.
	So all your searches could be, yeah, what's your searches?
	Yeah, don't forget the drive icon.
	Because, you know, the guy, the guy, the Boston bomber, the FBI, kept asking him why he's doing these weird searches.
	Yeah.
	Has anybody out there that listens to this show ever been contacted by any law enforcement agency for doing weird searches?
	I don't think so.
	I have no idea.
	I don't think so.
	I bet you we can't find one guy that listens to this show that's ever been contacted by the government.
	Because I don't think they do it.
	Another icon you see is the android icon.
	Oh, yeah.
	They want all your GPS data so they know where you've been, where you're going, what you're up to, where you're stopping, where you're having dinner, where you're having lunch, what you're spending your money on.
	All things that...
	All stuff that maybe you can extend that.
	Apps, your storage, your address book.
	Yeah, just any good blackmail material they can get from you.
	Your Google Drive is also a part of this.
	And the funny thing is, people, get off Google.
	You don't need them for all this.
	And you certainly don't need a phone.
	I think having Android is okay.
	You know, just connect to Wi-Fi.
	Don't connect through the phone networks.
	That's ridiculous.
	Anyway, here's Dutch Ruppersberger.
	And Andrea Mitchell actually asked a valid question because everyone's glossing over the very obvious fact that these reforms are only about telephone numbers.
	Not about emails and all the stuff that we're talking about here with the Googles.
	What about the 702 program, the PRISM program that involves emails?
	That is not part of...
	That's a separate program, but this is not part of the so-called reform that the President has proposed today.
	Should there be some limits placed on that as well?
	Well, how I'm going to answer that, the most important issue we're dealing with today is the issue of the United States of America and our citizens' rights to protect our country.
	Here's how I'm going to answer everything.
	Protect our country, citizens' rights, 9-11.
	That's the highest priority.
	The other issue has to do with the ability to gain intelligence information on an international level, whether it's China, Russia, terrorists, whatever.
	So that's not on the table now, and we're focused right now on changing the bulk collection.
	That's a big deal, to remove bulk collection.
	The phone companies who have all the information now, we will basically, the FBI will go with an administrative warrant, say, give me this number.
	We're concerned about a terrorist calling from Yemen.
	And then right after that, the courts will then make a decision on whether or not they pass a test called reasonable, articulable suspicion.
	That's where we are with respect to this 215 and the bills that we'll have on the floor, hopefully, in the next couple weeks or months.
	Yeah, so in other words, carry on, business as usual, this is about a bunch of phone numbers who gives a crap.
	However, your PRISM program, the 702, everything continues as scheduled, but that's not the marketing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You guys are a douchebag.
	Yeah, at the same time...
	He's better, but he's actually a little better than Rodgers.
	Rodgers is annoying.
	This guy's just a stooge.
	No, I think Ruppersberger's just an old coot.
	I have to be ageist here.
	The old coot who really...
	These guys believe this.
	This is the sad part.
	These guys really believe this crap.
	Yeah, I think they do.
	That's because they're in the bubble.
	What do you expect?
	They could have stopped 9-11, but, oh, you know, we didn't really tell you everything about 9-11.
	Saudi Arabia have chilled a bit over the past year, largely due to America's policy on Iran and Syria.
	Now, all this comes amid a renewed push from a group in Congress and a senior statesman for the White House to declassify a 28-page redacted section of the joint 9-11 inquiry from the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.
	The group claims that the classified section proves high-level Saudi involvement in the 9-11 attacks and could have evidence of sleeper cells still operating here in the U.S.
	WTC 7 won't go away.
	There was more to the report?
	No, you kidding me.
	Russia today was needling the U.S. about Saudi Arabia for another reason, which is kind of interesting.
	Somebody's trying to bust this little party up.
	But for now, the U.S. wants to make sure Saudi Arabia stays a friend.
	Mutual benefits from the relationship have allowed Saudi Arabia to fly under the U.S. human rights radar.
	We've been following developments around one specific case.
	That case involves a former Saudi diplomat, Ali Ahmad Assyri.
	I've done several reports on this.
	Four years ago, the employees of the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles found out that he's gay, and Saudi Arabia stripped Assyria of his diplomatic passport and insisted that he go back to his homeland.
	In Saudi Arabia, being gay could be punished by death, public lashings, or jail time.
	And that's the law.
	When Asiri turned to the U.S. government for asylum, he and his supporters never thought Washington would turn down his request, especially in light of guaranteed persecution at home.
	But up to this day, Ali Ahmad Asiri's status remains up in the air.
	Of course, it's not just about gay rights, but also...
	Other forms of oppression that would be typically unacceptable to the West, and yet Washington does not show much urge to press on those issues in the relations with the Saudis.
	And I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them.
	Unless they...
	Unless they're Saudis.
	Yeah, unless those countries are, you know, nuzzling up to the Chinas, which is what the Saudis are doing.
	The gay crusader was really upset.
	He sent me a long e-mail.
	He says, how can this be that, you know, the gay, the LGBTQQIAAP NGOs are not saying a word about the president's visit to Saudi Arabia.
	Not a word.
	He says, how can that be?
	I said, do you not understand that all NGOs ultimately, whether it's from an NGO in the middle or from like the National Endowment for Democracy or USAID, ultimately they all get their money from the government, from the State Department specifically.
	And you do not make waves.
	It's like, what's the program today?
	Putin hates gays.
	Okay, we're good to go.
	What's next?
	you You know?
	That's how it works.
	That's how it works.
	Yeah, he should be upset.
	In fact, they should all be upset, but nobody's upset.
	They're all on board with Obama.
	Well, there's that.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	No Agenda!
	We do have a few people to thank for show 604 that came in.
	A little light, but they came in.
	Stephen Schultz in Suwon, South Korea, which is interesting.
	$116.65.
	He saved his coins.
	Passed them on to you with this 125,000 South Korean won.
	How many SDRs is that?
	Well...
	Probably about 10.
	Yeah.
	Steve, his name was Robert Paulson in San Antonio.
	I'd like to call, he's $111.11, so he's got a couple people to call up to the stage, which I'll note for when we rebuild the facility.
	So what is the deal with the club?
	It burned to the ground, I told you.
	I know, but what are we going to do?
	I'm talking to the insurance company.
	And there's a big, oh, you know, they've got to have an arson investigation first.
	And that's going to take a while.
	And we have to get our own, the club has to buy, I didn't realize this at the time, but we have to buy an independent, we have to pay for the investigation, literally.
	And we can't, it's a permit thing, the insurance company is not going to even talk to us until the arson investigation is done.
	Well, is there like a community center we can use?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, there's a children's center.
	Or a church somewhere.
	That would be perfect.
	Or a church.
	A Unitarian church we can use?
	Well, Unitarians would probably go for it.
	All right, but we are noting everything down.
	Dame Sam Manor.
	Oh, what is this?
	A double donation.
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	Yeah, two donations, which actually, you know, she should be put up into the executive producer, associate executive producer list.
	Yeah, we'll definitely put her there.
	Anyway, she's calling out all dames.
	Once Club 33 is reopened, let's have Ladies Night 2 donations, and she's got a whole bunch of people making it rain for Adam and John.
	What does the C stand for?
	Computer.
	Dvorak, double act, over 600 episodes strong.
	Okay.
	Sam Leong in Toronto.
	I said I should screw myself and open the club.
	I told him now he knows the reason it's not open now.
	No preference for a dancer.
	He'll let Adam decide who to call on stage this season for $111.11.
	Joan Dotterfree, $99.99.
	I should have opened these up before I started this.
	She sent in a million...
	Hold on.
	...send in a...
	She sent in a bunch of emails trying to explain what she wanted to do.
	She's a double dame or she's a triple dame now.
	It's hard to say.
	Let me get this one opened.
	Donation note for Sunday.
	I was going over my donation book, Keeping the Messes.
	I earned my third damehood.
	Okay, she's a baron.
	She'd be a baroness.
	Although she gave one away.
	Does that mean I'm a black dame?
	No.
	Because she got it early.
	That would be so cool.
	She wants to be a black dame.
	In any case, please dame me again according to whatever rules you feel are fair.
	She's a baroness.
	Mother-in-law karma works.
	She, my husband, and I all got through the month unscathed.
	She's even flying the family to Paris for two weeks in June.
	Thank you very much for that.
	Karma works, people.
	Drama works!
	So she becomes a baroness today.
	Yeah, I think that's right.
	Good.
	Nice.
	Okay.
	Onward.
	Adrian...
	Vernoy.
	Vernoy in...
	Hasslet.
	Adrian Vernoy in Hasslet.
	Does that sound right?
	It's interesting to see your...
	What do you call it when you mess words up, turn them around?
	Dyslexia.
	Yeah, I don't really have it, but I guess I do with Dutch.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	I should mention that Adrian said, excellent newsletter, John.
	Yes, indeed.
	We have a bunch of 69ers here.
	Computer Services and Solutions, Parts Unknown, CSS, Brian Barrow and Wooten Bassett.
	In the UK. Don't mention the last name here because it's in the notes.
	He says, if I could mention his last name, he says, do not mention it if I read this on the air.
	Okay, we won't mention it, but I will read it on the air then.
	Adam's assertion that coding is an art form is absolutely true.
	I'm a professional developer, a failed mathematician, and a bastard.
	A bassist.
	Oh, a bassist.
	I'm sorry.
	The other developers in my office that come from a math background have no idea what I'm talking about when I talk about beautiful code.
	Their code tends to blow more often.
	You know, I was thinking, how can people say that code development and programming is math?
	When it's called a language, it's literally called a language.
	You write in a language, not in math.
	You don't write in math, you write in a language.
	I think this stems back from the early days where Fortran was like the dominating language.
	I think it's still stuck in the public consciousness amongst these idiots.
	And, you know, it was just formula translation is what it was short for.
	And it was a language too, but it was designed around mathematical principles and used to do math problems.
	At the very bottom of it, of course, you're going out into binary, of course.
	But the math people were in and they've done their job a long time ago.
	Thank you, math people.
	Now we need artists and writers.
	The math part is over.
	Sir, Charles Anderson, 69, 69, from Columbus, Ohio, needs a little job karma.
	We'll put it in.
	We have job karma requests all through here.
	We'll put it in at the end.
	That's because the Federal Reserve is doing so well.
	If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve...
	It would be one big job karma show.
	We wouldn't get any money coming in, and it would be all job karma.
	Well, I'm never going to mention it again.
	Go Fed!
	Woo!
	Yeah, Mr.
	Sensitive.
	Hold on a second.
	I have to turn on the air conditioner.
	Will you just read the next one?
	It'll take me two seconds.
	Matthew Repko, at Leesport, Pennsylvania, 6969.
	Jonathan, what is this?
	Beretsch, Beres, Beres, I think.
	Or Beretsch, something.
	He's from Amesbury, Massachusetts, 6969.
	You guys are killing it, he says.
	Killing it!
	Rolf Lehman, Sir Swiss Senna.
	69, 69, and that...
	Well, he has a...
	Do we get to do...
	We kind of break for nights.
	Let me just see what he's saying here.
	He has a long...
	Oh, he lost a client, which sucks.
	Yeah, so he says he can't help us much.
	No, that's okay.
	First of all, we wrap that up.
	69!
	69, dude!
	And we'll have a big job karma coming at the end for everybody.
	James Skousen in Redlands, California, $64.50.
	We have a birthday call out for him.
	Stephen McConnell, $55.10.
	Double nickels on the dime in Cortland, Ohio.
	Eric Hochul in Berlin, Deutschland, $52.
	He's very consistent.
	Sir Hank in Kew Gardens, New York, $50.
	These are all $50 donors.
	Aaron Abramson in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
	That's $50.
	Chad Inman in Los Angeles, California.
	Sloan Kelly in Niagara Falls.
	Slowly I return, Canada.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	What is this?
	Sloan Kelly.
	Are you reading this note here?
	I'm looking at it now.
	It says, this donation brings me over to the $1,000.
	Ah, we have an overlooked night.
	Well, it's not overlooked because we caught it.
	No, but it would have been overlooked if you hadn't been reading it long.
	So does that mean Sloan becomes black?
	No, if we skipped it and made the mistake of not knighting him.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I saved us from a black knight.
	Yes, you saved us.
	Good work.
	Thank you.
	And he wants to be Sir Sloan of the Falls.
	Okay, Sir Sloan of the Falls, slowly I turned.
	Okay.
	Andre Adams in Nashville, Tennessee, $50.
	Finally decided to donate.
	Rabble, Rab, Rab, Rab, Rab Sendelin in Housing Force, Finland.
	Yeah, let's say it.
	Some about $33.
	Pronounce his name in a Dutch fashion.
	It should come out okay.
	Rabbi Sunderlin.
	Rabbi Sunderlin.
	Something like that.
	Mark Tanner.
	New Whittier.
	And then we have an interesting thing from Dame Jennifer.
	But that's a $49.99.
	This is a donation amount that we're not supposed to read or pay attention to.
	But she asks us to, gives us a, okay, we'll get a little job karma at the end.
	She does ask, and I don't mention her last name just in case, but she gives us hugs and kisses.
	Send a picture.
	Yes.
	It's much better.
	All right, everybody, bend over.
	Here it comes.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, hey!
	Jobs karma for y'all.
	And thank you.
	It's a short list, but thank you very much for helping us out here, the best podcast in the universe.
	And we do a show twice a week, so be on the lookout for our show on Thursday.
	We could use a little more support.
	A lot of work going into this.
	Can I ask for a make good here?
	Yeah, of course.
	Yeah, a lot of work went into it.
	I mean, you yourself did this thing that annoyed me to no end.
	It's about these douchebags trying to take over the world, which is running just fine without them.
	You know what this is about?
	It's about annoying you.
	That's what it's all about.
	It's very annoying.
	I have a meeting.
	Hey, let's annoy that douche on no agenda.
	Dame Joanie wants a Putin and a little girl yay.
	Okay.
	With a karma or just a...
	No, just playing out straight up.
	Okay.
	Let me grab...
	A stemmed glass.
	Okay.
	Putin!
	Wow!
	Okay.
	No problem.
	We can do that.
	We can do whatever you want.
	I have a make good as well.
	This is from Ryan Hoskins.
	Donated swazzle enough for the Thursday show when the donations were read.
	My name was changed from Ryan to Ray!
	I know it's difficult to produce the best podcast in the universe, but if you could just say my name on the show, that would be very much appreciated.
	What's his name?
	Ryan Hoskins.
	Ryan.
	Somehow we changed his name to Ray.
	It does happen.
	We're doing this on the fly.
	It's performance art.
	Postmodern.
	Yeah, this is performance art.
	People have to realize that.
	It is.
	It truly is.
	We make it look easy.
	That's because we're good performers.
	Hell yeah.
	Step on me.
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	I am right now juggling four balls.
	Okay.
	And hold on.
	Let me just boom, boom, boom.
	Okay, I got them.
	I put them down.
	Very, very good.
	James Skousen turns 50 tomorrow.
	Happy birthday from your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe.
	It's your birthday, yeah.
	And of course, we congratulate Dame Joan Dottifray becoming a baroness.
	There is no ceremony for becoming a baroness, but you do get to choose a protectorate.
	So if you could do that, Dame Joanie, we'd appreciate that.
	We'd like to know which protector you can have, and we can put that on our peerage map, itm.im slash peerage.
	I've got the blade.
	We have two nightings today.
	Can you do this while you're juggling those balls?
	I dropped the balls.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Brian House and Sloan Kelly, step forward, both of you.
	Please, thank you for your contribution in our value-for-value model, the best podcast in the universe, and $1,000 or more.
	Brian House, I hereby pronounce these Sir Baz Vombato and Sloan Kelly, Sir Sloan of the Falls.
	Both of you are very welcome here at the roundtable for your hookers and blow, whiskey and wet wipes, bad science and perky breasts.
	Cuban cigars and single malt scotch if you want.
	Some renfoys and chardonnay.
	Opium and warm orange juice.
	Or just some good old mutton and mead.
	And go to...
	Noagentanation.com slash rings to pick up your well-deserved ring.
	And your sealing wax and your official certificate.
	Not sure why the donations are off.
	Well, you said it was because of the Bill Clinton thing, which we've stopped discussing.
	Yeah, but they are still coming in for some reason.
	Well, I think it's because there's not enough jobs.
	I think people are broke, which is...
	I mean, we kind of go and flow with, you know...
	Some are coming up.
	Maybe they're saving their money.
	I do want to take a little break here and do a movie test.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	I don't do it that much, so you can't complain too bitterly.
	Hold on.
	I have a jingle for that if you have a moment here.
	And now it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie.
	All right.
	See, I like that.
	Do I go straight into it, or...?
	Yeah, I guess the movie.
	Azok, go!
	Let your fire!
	The giant Gundabadok had sworn to wipe out the Lion of Durin.
	He began...
	by beheading the king.
	No!
	No!
	Ha, ha, ha, ha.
	And now it's time for another episode of Guess That Movie.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Okay.
	I am going to say Lord of the Hobbit 7.
	No.
	Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	Wow!
	Really?
	Yeah, that was Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	Were they in a movie theater at Breakfast at Tiffany's?
	No, that was some of the dialogue.
	Did you ever see that movie?
	Audrey Hepburn.
	Audrey Hepburn, a famous movie.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	I knew you wouldn't get it.
	It's an old movie.
	Well, I think I probably had...
	I know it was my mom's favorite movie.
	In fact, my sister is named Tiffany.
	Oh!
	Because of the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
	Yeah.
	So I feel pretty stupid.
	I should have known.
	My sister is going to be mad at me now.
	Yeah, as well she should be.
	It was the beheading scene.
	Oh.
	What is the movie about?
	It's about a girl who lives in New York and she's a gadfly and she apparently had to kill the king by beheading him and then she ran off with some guy and then drove around a fountain with a car.
	Simple story.
	Yes, I have seen it.
	Especially the drive around the fountain with a car thing.
	A little Italian job, was it not?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Like a Fiat or something like that.
	Something like that.
	Well, it happens every year, John, and once again we're back with another Autism Explosion!
	New government findings are tonight providing a stunning and eye-opening look at the growing number of American families living with autism.
	Based on the latest survey data, the Centers for Disease Control estimates 1 in 68 American children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder.
	That's about 30% higher than previous surveys.
	The autism spectrum encompasses a broad range of developmental brain disorders affecting, among other things, speech and social interaction.
	These new findings bring renewed urgency to finding the cause of autism and understanding why it seems to be on the increase.
	Now, this is very interesting to me because I follow the autism diagnosis.
	There's a huge NGO for this, Autism Speaks.
	They have doctors and all kinds of big, important people, including pharma dudes.
	And ever since DSM-IV, this is the psychology manual, which is pretty much a sales book for the drug industry.
	We have created this thing called the autism spectrum.
	And if your kid spins around or walks on their tippy toes, autism.
	You're on the spectrum, you see.
	Now, I don't want to make light of kids who are generally messed up, because it happens.
	But sometimes these kids are just really brilliant.
	I mean, not just sometimes, this is actually in the report.
	Turning now to a new report on autism in America that shows an alarming 30% increase among eight-year-olds diagnosed with a disorder in a two-year period to one in every 68 children.
	This new estimate, based on the CBC's evaluation of records in 11 states during 2010, also assured large increases in the number of children with average or higher IQs who fall into the autism spectrum.
	So, let me get this straight.
	If your kid is smart, autism.
	What, we have to dumb him down now with drugs?
	What is going on?
	This is crazy!
	I'm sorry, your kid is very, very intelligent.
	So he doesn't fit in with the rest of the frickin' moronic slaves who all they can do is watch sports and read comic books.
	Sorry, your kid clearly isn't coming along well.
	We have to work on that.
	You know, I was always thinking, when you bring this topic up, I'm always thinking, you know, autism became a cause celeb because it became, you know, a lot of people were getting it and there's reasons nobody really knows.
	There's all kinds of theories.
	But I wonder if the same focus was ever put on Tourette's, what you do.
	What do you mean?
	What would I do?
	Yeah, I mean, what would you think about it?
	I mean, because there's a lot of kids with Tourette's.
	Yes, there's a lot of people with Tourette's.
	And you ran into one recently.
	Yeah, and you know what?
	Just yesterday, we had friends over, and it was a constitutional lawyer.
	And we were talking, I said, you know, you've got a light form of Tourette's.
	He says, no, no, I just have muscle.
	No, dude, you have Tourette's.
	It's a very light form.
	It's like, no, no, I just have muscle pain.
	You can't even admit it.
	I think a lot of people don't want to admit it because they think they'll be cussing the next minute.
	Well, I mean, we talked about this.
	Unfortunately, we don't have the cool kind.
	Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, bomb!
	We don't get to do that.
	If you're that type of terrorist, the one who cusses just randomly, I think I've told the story before where I ran and I was in an airplane and one of them was in there.
	They had to get him out of there.
	If you're that guy with the cussing And you're French.
	Do you cuss in French?
	Or do you still say the same stuff that the American guy says?
	It's like a dog.
	When you're a dog, you bark.
	If you're a French dog, you're going to bark the same way.
	I'll try and explain it to you, though.
	It is like sneezing.
	Okay?
	And I used to have like that guttural sound that I had to make.
	I'm not kidding.
	Seriously.
	No wonder you went in the radio.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and I still have the urge, but I don't make the sound, but my throat will go or something.
	There's all kinds of weird ticks, and it moves around and be in my arm, my shoulder, my leg, my head, whatever, my eyes.
	I hate the eyes.
	Do you have restless leg syndrome occasionally?
	No, no, no.
	It's ticks.
	If it's in my eyes where you see someone who's blinking a lot, that's really horrible.
	So I try to move it somewhere else.
	It's a lifelong thing.
	But drugs do not help.
	Actually, I'll take that back.
	Marijuana made me tick very slow.
	But here's the annoying thing.
	This happens every single year, and they keep coming up with the same ideas, the same philosophy, but nothing ever gets any better.
	I'm going to go back to a clip from our very own show.
	Funny enough, April 4th, 2012.
	It seems like they always come out kind of around April.
	And here is the autism report then when it was 1 in 88 children who were on the autism spectrum.
	And now the latest report.
	As of 2008, the last time an estimate was performed, 1 in 88 children has autism.
	That's a 78% increase just over the last decade.
	And the question on a lot of people's minds is why.
	How much of that increase is a result of better tracking, and how much of it is a result of an actual increase, we still don't know.
	Researchers have discovered many genes linked to autism, but in most cases, genes are only one part of the equation.
	And genes alone wouldn't change that fast in just ten years.
	There is something else that triggers the problem.
	We're talking about infections, we're talking about social conditions, and we're talking about exposures to toxicants.
	Now, let's fast forward to this new report, and we're going to talk to, I think we're going to talk to the doctor from Autism Speaks, a nice non-profit NGO. Good girl.
	What may be the most troubling fact, no one really knows what's behind the increase.
	We still don't know.
	We're two years on.
	Come on, people.
	Experts believe some of these numbers may be due to better detection of cases that might have previously been overlooked.
	So we're still detecting better?
	This makes no sense.
	You're giving me the same report with the numbers increased a little bit.
	Physicians, healthcare providers, educators are clearly getting better at identifying autism as well as the case definition.
	You know, what is autism is really evolving.
	It's really evolving and I think it's a big, big business.
	Again, if your kid is smart, The kid can be put on the autism scale.
	If your kid doesn't like to talk to you, put him on the scale.
	And if you look at AutismSpeaks.org, they've got lots of after-school programs, but drugs, a lot of stuff.
	And this is all now being detected when your kid is two.
	At 18 months, they can now detect this, which will happen in pre-K. Which is the birth to five system.
	This is where we are going to fix the kids that are clearly broken.
	We can't have anyone different.
	No one can be a little withdrawn or a little spinning or a little whatever.
	We have to immediately take action because they're messed up.
	And oh, by the way, we have to not use the word autism anymore.
	No parent wants to hear your child has autism.
	But you can't be afraid of the A word.
	The A word.
	The A word.
	Seriously?
	You can't be afraid of the A word.
	Here we go.
	It's money.
	If these numbers are accurate, it can't just be that it's a question that we're diagnosing them more.
	Are we seeing more kids being born with this?
	We think absolutely, yeah.
	There are really more cases of this than in the past.
	But then why is it happening?
	That's a million-dollar question.
	Research is trying to get that from a lot.
	It used to be a $64,000 question.
	Now it's a million-dollar question.
	This guy sees dollar size.
	He's got ding, ding, ding.
	That's a million-dollar question because I'm going to do some more research.
	...different angles, looking at genetics, looking at environmental risk factors, looking at things as diverse as pollution and older parental age.
	All those potential factors related to this.
	Old people!
	Old people!
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I find this disturbing.
	Very, very disturbing, this report.
	Because yes, of course, there are kids with Ashburgers and all kinds of stuff.
	But you know what?
	It makes life interesting.
	You know, the spinning person is not a bad person.
	I think Martha Graham, dancer, is probably a spinner when she was a little kid.
	But it makes life interesting, and so we're not boring.
	You know, it's funny.
	No, we should all be the same.
	Take the drugs.
	Join the SDRs.
	Take the drugs.
	Pay for them with SDRs, I think is what you wanted to say.
	You will obey.
	I want messed up kids, please.
	It's more fun.
	I got a little clip here about Natalia.
	Oh, this is the Crimean Solicitor General?
	Is that the hottie?
	Yeah, the hottie that's got the badge and she's this and she's that.
	I didn't know a lot of these details, but I think it's worth playing.
	Meet Natalia Poklonska, Crimea's 33-year-old prosecutor general, although many of our Japanese viewers would hardly need an introduction.
	Ever since Poklonska took the job, she has been a Japanese anime art sensation.
	Video of her press conference gathered hundreds of thousands of views, and pictures like these are now flooding the web.
	Some bit Poklonska against another famous woman from Ukraine.
	Her fans call her Prosecuti and even invented a name for themselves, Natalia Lights.
	Prosecuti?
	Really?
	Natalia Lights.
	Natalia Lights.
	Prosecuti.
	I love that Prosecuti.
	That's good.
	I was really turned on by her, but then I saw her speak and she talks out of the side of her mouth.
	She's a tough cookie.
	In fact, it's interesting that part two, I didn't know any of this.
	But Kiev, where she spent most of her career, is not amused.
	The Interior Ministry's website has her unwanted section, accusing Natalia of organizing a coup.
	I'm not a criminal.
	Some are speculating whether such a lady can handle this serious job, but Poklonska swiftly brushes concerns aside with her stern rhetoric.
	After all, some of her employees stated she took the job many of her male colleagues feared to touch.
	Yeah, because that's the job where you get killed by the gangs.
	Now, you have a theory on these women in Ukraine.
	Yeah, well, this is not a theory.
	The Ukrainian women will discuss this openly.
	It's fact.
	As an empirical fact.
	Which is apparently, and the way I hear the argument, it goes back to various wars and the way certain genetic people, certain people with certain genetic structures were killed off in certain battles or whatever, leaving a population of certain people with certain genetic structures were killed off in certain battles or whatever, leaving a population of women who don't really have long Now she's 35, I think, and she still looks good.
	But if you talk to people that go to the Ukraine and they'll discuss this and the Ukrainian women will discuss it too, too, that you really start to deteriorate physically in terms of your facial structure after 30 to the point where by the time you're 40, you're a babushka, which is an old lady.
	Which is not a good look.
	It's not a good look.
	And we'll find very few older.
	And I think, by the way, Natalia looks good at her age because I think she's Latvian.
	She's a totally different gene.
	So if you get one of these mail-order brides...
	From the Ukraine.
	A lot of Russians and Georgians also have this problem.
	So what happens, you get them and then around 30, then all of a sudden they turn just like milk?
	They just go bad?
	They turn into a babushka rather quickly.
	Now, any Russians that listen to the show, we do have a few, I would assume that they'll largely verify this observation.
	And, yeah, if you buy a mail-order bride, especially from the Ukraine, they're absolutely stunning from the ages of 16 to about 23, 24.
	And then it starts to...
	And it's just the way it is.
	I mean, it reminds me, Swedish women have a...
	Actually, there's a Jewish gene pool that has it where your skin kind of detaches from the...
	Have you ever talked to some Jews about this?
	It's a gene pool where your skin kind of detaches from the underlying structure and your whole face just sags.
	It looks terrible.
	Oh my god!
	And...
	But there's a lot of these little pools around, and it creates these issues, and they have to interbreed.
	They should just bring the Latvians in.
	John C. Devorak, can you tell me, should I be in the market for the perfect woman who will stay nice and fresh throughout my lifetime?
	What should I be looking for?
	What gene pool should I be fishing from?
	Probably Chinese.
	Really?
	Don't they get all crusty and old and wrinkly?
	Well, no.
	It all happens at once, but they're about 75 when it happens.
	Oh, okay.
	They don't care at that point.
	But they're so tiny.
	Well, the Latvians are good.
	The Norwegian pool looks pretty decent.
	Iceland is a little inbred, but it hasn't turned into anything negative except for the fact their eyeballs are starting to go to the sides of their heads very slowly.
	Like a black molly goldfish.
	I've noticed it.
	I don't want to sound like...
	This is not racism.
	I'm just observational here.
	I've noticed this last time I went through Salt Lake City.
	I think that the gene pool amongst the Mormons, because they interbreed...
	I mean, they don't marry their sister.
	It's not like Tennessee.
	There'd be a note coming in on that.
	But they've started to develop a look...
	That I can pretty much, if I go to, if you go to Salt Lake City, just look at the people there and there's a sameness to them.
	And it's not because they all dress the same because they don't.
	It's just a certain kind of a, just a very Mormonish look that is starting to evolve from this interbreeding.
	It's just like kind of, I think Donnie and Marie both have the look and they look very similar to each other.
	It's kind of that look.
	The Osmonds.
	Yeah, no.
	I know who you're referring to.
	But little Jimmy Osmond, he was, like, not on that scale at all.
	He was just a pudgy little kid.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He was the black sheep.
	Name the song.
	The pudgy little kid.
	Name the song Jimmy Osmond's hit.
	That was it, wasn't it?
	Pudgy little kid.
	No, no, no, no.
	Long-haired...
	I've got a day to die?
	No, the long-haired lover from Liverpool.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, you knew that.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I don't want to go...
	I mean, that's what the Ukrainian theory is.
	It makes me sound like I'm just spending all my time...
	No, I think it's interesting.
	I think it's these things...
	John, another thing that will never be discussed anywhere, but on a show that...
	Nobody in mainstream media will ever discuss this issue with the Ukrainian women.
	I love this story from Venezuela.
	There's a...
	This, of course, goes to something we've discussed before.
	There's a call for an investigation of the El Argueno Daily newspaper from the industrial town of Maracay for allegedly putting encrypted messages in its crossword puzzle.
	Yeah, I saw that note.
	Yeah, Rubicon.
	Yeah, I love that.
	That makes so much sense.
	Why not?
	For those of you who haven't seen it, I think it's still on Amazon.
	If you have the Amazon Prime, you can watch Rubicon.
	It's great.
	It kind of ends and then it's over, and it's a bummer because it's just done.
	Well, they didn't renew it, and so they had to end it.
	It ends.
	I mean, it does have an ending, but it's not as good.
	It would have been better if they'd gotten another 13 shows, I think.
	Alright, bad boy, take us home with a little, we haven't done one of these in a while, a little clip blitz, if you don't mind.
	Well, let's start by, well, this is not going to be much of a blitz.
	Red, 33.
	Blitz.
	I found this kind of disturbing.
	There's a couple of Arnie Duncan clips.
	Apparently he's the most powerful man ever to head the Department of Education.
	And as far as I'm concerned, he's just an idiot.
	But okay, let's start with this.
	I'm in the country every week.
	We talk to teachers, we talk to parents, students, school board members.
	And hopefully what you've seen is a much better sense of partnership.
	When the economy tanked in 2009, Secretary Duncan's power over education increased dramatically.
	A desperate Congress approved a $100 billion education stimulus package to keep schools from shutting down, teachers from being laid off.
	Nearly $5 billion of that was discretionary, meaning that Duncan could spend it as he saw fit.
	No previous Secretary of Education had ever had such power.
	In 2009, the president announced a competition for the money.
	Rather than divvying it up and handing it out, we are letting states and school districts compete for it.
	Almost every state entered the race, but few were expected to win.
	We're nervous.
	So states will get money if they do this thing that Duncan won?
	If you play by these rules, absolutely right.
	Some of us like to talk about race to the top as no child left behind on steroids.
	The principles of race to the top are the same as no child left behind, which is, you know, we're going to reward states that set and maintain a high standard.
	States that agreed to Duncan's conditions, including developing common standards and assessments and using student test scores to evaluate teachers, had a better chance of winning.
	Wow, that's a good backgrounder for Common Core.
	In fact, part two.
	Oh, lovely.
	I'm a much bigger believer in carrots and not sticks.
	And if, you know, you encourage people to go in a certain direction, if they want to go in a different direction, they absolutely have the right to do that.
	What the secretary called encouragement, his critics saw as coercion.
	The states went along with Race to the Top because they were all broke.
	You're saying the states were bought?
	Yes, of course.
	During the Race to the Top competition, a coalition of states released the Common Core state standards.
	These were developed with money from private foundations, not federal dollars.
	Forty-five states and the District of Columbia adopted them.
	If you adopt the Common Core, you are much more likely to get Race to the Top grants We're much more likely to get a temporary conditional waiver.
	And that puts the secretary in the business of starting to drive national standards and perhaps national tests and national curriculum.
	We don't want that.
	The Common Core is not curriculum.
	It's up to individual states to develop how and what to teach.
	But Duncan's Education Department has funded the development of Common Core tests to the tune of about 350 million dollars.
	I believe this new generation of assessments is an absolute game changer for American education.
	Duncan's critics say he went too far when he financed the tests.
	The law is very clear that no agent of the U.S. government may do anything to direct, control, or supervise curriculum and instruction.
	Testing is not curriculum.
	No, it's not, but it controls curriculum.
	Testing, what is tested is what gets taught.
	Everybody knows that.
	Wow.
	That's a great one.
	We should do a little mini package from this.
	Someone should put this together.
	This is a very good background because this went to the Association of Governors, which is heavily, heavily funded.
	And this is where all these douche knuckles came in, like Bill and Melinda Gates and Dell.
	And they said, hey, this is an excellent opportunity.
	Yeah, this is leading to a national brainwashing system.
	Oh, it's there.
	Centrally controlled.
	And the charter schools.
	New York is now, there's this huge debate that's been ongoing about not just charter schools, but the pre-K for all, which is where the brainwashing starts.
	So if you're four years old, you need to go to pre-kindergarten.
	It's ridiculous.
	Yeah, but it's going to be mandatory, and of course you can't get in unless you have your shots.
	Right, it's all part of the same system.
	And, oh, I'm sorry.
	We've noticed that your child is very, very smart, and therefore probably on the autism scale.
	So, yeah, we're going to have to dumb him down a bit with some drugs.
	Oh, it seems like he has a little bit of a tick.
	We can't have that.
	It will be unacceptable in society later.
	We really must change that.
	There's a kicker clip here if you want to play it at the end.
	Of course I do.
	That's the ultimate fear, that the federal government does get in the curriculum business and tells the states what they're supposed to teach.
	As for the secretary, he stays resolutely on message.
	It's important to have high standards.
	We've encouraged that.
	How you teach should those higher standards.
	The curriculum behind that, we have never touched that, never have, never will do that.
	Although the discretionary dollars are almost gone, Secretary Duncan still has the power to grant or withhold waivers.
	And if any of the 46 states with Race to the Top funding or NCLB waivers do not live up to their end of the bargain, the Secretary could force them to return millions of dollars.
	Wow.
	It's a scam.
	The American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP, came out with a report.
	Doctors should test middle school-aged children for high cholesterol and start screening for depression at age 11.
	What 11-year-olds not depressed half the time?
	According to the updated guidelines from the AAP, doctors should also test older teens for HIV. The new screening schedule provides, quote, the recommended content for a well-child visit.
	This has to stop.
	Yeah.
	It's not going to.
	No, it's not.
	Here's the actual list.
	HIV screening between 16 and 18 years old.
	Critical congenital heart disease screening for all newborns.
	No pap smears and checking for precancerous cervical changes in girls before age 21.
	But that, of course, is because they'll have the Gardasil shot, so they really won't need it because, you know, they'll be safe from slut cancer!
	It's so, it's, you know, it's that we can laugh about it, but sometimes, just, what is going on, people?
	The kid thing I'm worried about, John, this has to be stopped somehow because people have newborns.
	They're new parents.
	They don't know what to do.
	And there's the government making afraid of all this stuff.
	Yeah, and they try to take the kid away if you don't do what you're told.
	Yeah, and they get the birth to five visits from the government.
	The kid comes home, he's five years old, telling you about global warming.
	They've got all that.
	Did you ever get that shot schedule?
	What shot schedule?
	One of our producers...
	No, I didn't get it.
	I'm going to see if I can find it here.
	It's like a thousand shots nowadays.
	It's really quite...
	Which reminds me, brings me to a point I wanted to bring up in the last show.
	So J.C., Buzzkill Jr.'s wife, who was raised without vaccinations and did fine...
	Zero vaccination, nothing for polio, nothing?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	For some reason or other, she had to get a measles, mumps, rubella shot for some job or something.
	I don't know why.
	So she got the shot.
	She went and got the shot.
	Then, two days later, she comes down with the measles.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And then I looked it up.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me back up a second.
	Let me make sure I understand this.
	So, she was raised without vaccinations, or at least not the mumps, measles, rubella.
	Yeah, at least that one.
	Okay.
	She gets a job where they say, you have to have, I don't know what kind of job this is, I don't need to know.
	I'm not sure why she got the shot.
	I didn't do the background.
	She's like an eye roller.
	She got the shot.
	Right.
	Two days later.
	Right.
	First off, she gets the shot and then the next thing you know, her eyes are all glassy and she's like bitching and mowing.
	She goes back to the doctor and the doctor says, you got the measles.
	That's where her eyes are super sensitive.
	She has to be in the dark for days on end.
	And she can't go and she's contagious so she can't go out and, you know, go do some daycare with the children.
	But she got the measles.
	So I looked this up to see what the deal was.
	And there's a big measles outbreak in Southern California.
	And then there was one in Canada.
	And in the Canadian story, it says, yes, two people came into the clinic with the measles.
	One of them just got a measles shot.
	Some old guy.
	I don't understand how that works.
	I do.
	These guys, this is like, this is the same thing as the reason I don't, I mean, I know gamma radiation for food is a great idea because it would kill all bacteria.
	We wouldn't have an E. coli problem.
	You can eat raw meat, you know, and all the rest because it would be fixed by this, it's kind of like an ultra-pasteurization system.
	But Americans, oh, radiation's bad.
	So we don't do it.
	But the more I thought about it, I think it's probably best we don't do it.
	Because if we did it, they wouldn't give a shit about sanitary conditions.
	They would, you know, hey, this is a dog turd here on the belt.
	Ah, leave it through.
	It'll be edible when it comes out the other end.
	Because we don't care.
	We have none of these, you know.
	And so what happened when they made all these vaccination companies harmless, blameless, and by law, They don't give a shit.
	The vaccine is probably a piece of crap.
	It probably had just live germs in it.
	It's funny you bring that up because...
	Bad Chad from Colorado, who always checks the Federal Register for me, he posted a link to the recent entry from the Health and Human Services Department titled, Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, Pandemic Influenza Countermeasures Injury Table.
	Now that is a bunch of really expensive language so that reporters won't look at it, which basically means here are all the new flu shots that are protected by the government against being sued if someone gets hurt.
	And the government actually will compensate people, funny enough.
	Yeah, based on a table.
	It's the Public Readiness Emergency Preparedness Act, the PREP Act, directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a countermeasures injury compensation program.
	Countermeasure is a vaccine.
	To provide timely, uniform, and adequate compensation to eligible individuals who sustain serious physical injuries or to certain survivors of injured individuals who die as a direct result of the use or administration of covered countermeasures, that's vaccines, Identified by the Secretary in declarations issued under the PREP Act.
	So they just add stuff to this table, and if you die from it, whatever.
	Yeah, the government will take care of you.
	Yeah, the taxpayer.
	Here we have, oh, this is interesting, spontaneous miscarriage, bronchospasm, febrile seizures, neuropsychiatric events, Tracheal stenosis doesn't sound good.
	No.
	Wow.
	So they just do whatever and they can put anything they want in there.
	No one cares.
	They certainly don't care because they have no incentive to care.
	Right.
	And so she got the measles and that's that.
	Pretty pathetic.
	Have you been seeing this Ebola thing?
	Yeah, I think it's just a general scare.
	Well, I will say, prospective grant of exclusive license, multivalent, what does that mean?
	That means it does a whole shitload of things.
	Okay, multivalent vaccines for rabies virus and Ebola.
	This notice in accordance of blah, blah, blah contemplating the grant of an exclusive license to practice the following invention as embodied in the following patent application.
	So this one company will be allowed to create an Ebola vaccine.
	Wow, that's going to be a tough one to make.
	Hey Bill, what did you do with that Petri dish?
	Oh, it's over here.
	I left it out.
	Dead.
	Well, it seems to me like if you were going to get some kind of grant or exclusive license, you might want to have some news reports about Ebola virus.
	I think it works out.
	I do have two more clips I want to get out of the way.
	Okay, sure.
	One of them is the Ukrainian, both from Ukraine.
	One is about Ashton going on and on about the right sector.
	You know, who's running for the office in Ukraine is like some nut and the old, what's her name, the Maria, whatever her name.
	Princess Leia, Yulia.
	Princess Leia.
	But play this Ukraine right sector with Ashton bitching and moaning, and this is RT giving it to us.
	A major concern is Ukraine's radical group, the Right Sector, which is trying to become a political force in the country.
	According to Lavrov, John Kerry praised the Right Sector's move towards mainstream politics, but the EU recently condemned the group.
	RT's Polypoiko has more.
	Catherine Ashton has denounced rights sector.
	She's calling on them to refrain from violence, to give up their arms, and to basically stop behaving undemocratically.
	Now, this is a group that right now is besieging the parliament in Kiev, calling on the interior minister to resign.
	Finally, we have an admission from the EU that there are some very dangerous forces amongst those that brought about the coup in Ukraine.
	But the timing of this statement is nuanced to say the least throughout this crisis in Ukraine.
	The US and the EU have been very much in support of the protest movement.
	The then Foreign Minister of Germany even went to Maidan to pledge his support.
	That's despite the fact that Russia has repeatedly called on its Western partners to reassess the situation, to take a look at who it is they're supporting.
	But right sector now has become a major violent force in Ukraine.
	The arms that Catherine Ashton was talking about are allegedly stolen by right sector from weapons depots during the unrest.
	They're linked to violence against anti-Maidan activists, to deaths in eastern Ukraine.
	And the group's leader, well, he's wanted in Russia for instigating acts of terrorism.
	And this is a man, by the way, that's running for presidency in Ukraine.
	Now they've got...
	It's our kind of guy.
	They've got these losers that are trying to run and so the party that actually could win is the internet party.
	And they're actually running and he's getting a lot of popularity.
	I'm reminded of certain kind of craziness that happens on college campuses because all the young people in Ukraine seem to be behind the...
	The nomination and potential presidency of Darth Vader.
	Okay, hold on.
	Here we go.
	Figure to another, the race to be president of Ukraine includes some unexpected candidates.
	Iconic Star Wars bad guy, Darth Vader is among those promising to guide the country out of turmoil.
	Now, the fallen...
	I've been waiting years for that.
	The fallen Jedi Master is running on a policy of making an empire out of the Republic and restoring the nation's glory.
	Lord Vader has already won primaries for the Ukrainian Internet Party, which is paying the deposit for him to run for the presidency.
	On the 25th of May, he will compete against, amongst others, former Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko and the leader of the nationalist rights sector group.
	Although, with Chewbacca and his storm troopers to support him, Vader will be confident.
	I will run the country.
	Come over here, Victoria Noonan.
	I shall have a special, special little spot for you.
	So now we know things are completely out of control.
	You know, and we're going to have...
	It hurts my throat when I do that.
	We're going to have international monitors for this election.
	It will, you know, it'll be fair.
	Unbelievable.
	Probably, and Darth Vader could win.
	Somehow, I don't think we're going to get that.
	It would be great.
	It would be great, wouldn't it?
	Yeah.
	It turns out it's actually Hillary Clinton.
	Are you doing tweet today?
	Yeah, I'm doing tweet.
	Oh, nice.
	I predict you'll be talking about wearables.
	I hope not.
	Wearables and patents.
	And what would you do if you were CEO of Samsung?
	That's pretty much what all those shows are about, I'd say.
	It's got to be about phones too much.
	Yeah.
	Well...
	And wearables are, you know, essentially phones.
	And blocking YouTube in Turkey.
	There may be...
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Nobody wants to talk about chips anymore.
	I hung out with a chip designer the other day.
	Yeah?
	He had Tourette's, too.
	I'll tell you about that on Thursday.
	I want to know more about your other guy who denies having Tourette's.
	Thursday is Tourette's Day here on the No Agenda Show.
	You can tune in for it then.
	Until then, coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, FEMA Region 9, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	The best podcast in the universe!
