Oh, let me see if I have any in the cupboard.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
On May 26 2013. Time for your determination media
assassination episode 516.
This is no agenda,
assessing with near certainty it is feasible to capture me at any
time. You're in the Travis Heights High now they in Austin,
Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, why am I shouting? I'm
John C. Dvorak. Greg Vaughn Bushkill.
It's to keep up with the Joneses. While you're shouting.
I could do that.
I think you should. Can you raise your level?
Let me see if the chair has a little thing at the bottom.
Yeah. And maybe turn off the microphone while you're at it.
Okay, it's the weirdest thing. It's like the whole song
throughout the whole Cinco Demayo fabisch. Everything's
great. And then we're gonna start the show. And then you do
like
right now just because somebody switches something. Right. And
he's ready to start. Yeah, I think it's about now. John?
Adam curry really is at home coming through for you today.
No, no,
you're fine. Good. You're 10 dog biscuits overnight.
Roger roger. Well, well, well, we had not barely even were we
able to wrap up the last episode of the Best podcast in the
universe. Or already the distraction of the week kicked
in.
Which one?
Medea Benjamin?
I don't know that. I was following other distractions.
You're distracted by other distractions. Medea Benjamin is
the co founder of Code Pink, John.
Oh, the Code Pink people? Yes. Oh, man. We had some Code Pink
people in the Berkeley in our Albany area. And they had the
big trucks as Code Pink get, you know, a Code Pink status from
the lesbians gays. Now, Code Pink stem. The original reason
for Code Pink was for George W. Bush, give him the pink slip
means fire or impeach bush.
Oh, that's right. Again, because he started with the code orange
Code Red etc. The whole code
became a Code Pink and there was meant pink slip
right now I do remember this? Well, so I looked into the
organization because now is like, so the woman who
interrupted the president three times and unprecedented three
times,
it was a, she was called pinker.
She she's the co founder of Code Pink, that isn't great. So I'm
now when I admire them now. I admire them too, although this
is clearly a co opted operation. And I'm pretty sure that not
only is it just obvious, it's the proof is in the pudding. So
for those of you who missed it, I'm pretty sure everyone saw at
least one snippet somewhere around Gitmo nation of the
president laying out his drone policy, which falls under the
counterterrorism measures which I of course assessed for you.
And it's the more things to change, the more things change,
the more they stay the same for sure in this case. But she she
was saying, of course, things that that make sense. And I'm
pretty sure the President was aware of something was going to
happen. Maybe not this he I think actually was at some
point. I love watching Miss Mickey she has complete she's
not as biased as I am. I said, well take a look at this video.
And you tell me what you think. And her response was, Oh, my
God, he actually was moved for a moment there. But what she was
saying, even though he immediately said that he didn't
agree with her. But I have two clips here because she
immediately was making the rounds. Yet another. I would say
clue that this was premeditated by someone. And of course, if
you want to lay out a policy that is exactly the same as it's
always been, and you're going to do this in a bombastic speech.
And you have all kinds of other things going on. It is great to
get the media to be distracted by someone who was talking back
to the king. And here's, here's what happened on CNN where I got
a lot of respect for Miss Miss Benjamin, because we have Carol,
CNN Ken, what is his facebook.com/carol CNN, this I
can't remember her name. Other than that, she says it all the
time. And she and she feels that, you know, this was
completely wrong. And you know, the President was already going
down that road. He was already he was already going to give in
to everything she wanted. But of course because of the
interruption. You know, I guess he changed his mind or
something. I don't know. But her comeback is pretty strong. wrong
and this bit
will go down. Okay. Let me ask you this again, it sounded to me
like the President was going down that road anyway, he was
giving this very important policy speech that, frankly,
Americans needed to hear. So again, you know, I asked I posed
the question on my Facebook page, which is what I do every
single morning and ask them what they wanted to ask you. And a
lot of them said that you are hurting your own cause. Because
one you appeared rude to the President of the United States.
And to you just seemed a little crazy, crazy.
So this is the the 100,000 people who watch CNN still, and
then trying everything. This is this is apparently the narrative
that they have, like, You're crazy. And it's rude to
interrupt the president, her comeback, I have to say was
good.
Well, I've gotten a fabulous response. And I think killing
innocent people with drones is rude. I think keeping people who
are innocent in indefinite detention for 11 years is rude.
I think not. Respecting the lives of Muslim people is rude.
I think not apologizing to the families of innocent people who
are killed is rude. There are a lot of rude things about our
policies speaking out is actually not rude. But it's the
basis of a democratic society where people use their voices to
try to make our country better. And I don't think more Americans
will have long
disagree with you. But I would think that some Americans at
least would say there's a time and a place.
Well, exactly. I've been waiting for over five years when the
President said he was going to, quote, close Guantanamo. The
time for words is over. It's time for action. He is the
commander of chief in chief, he can do this on his own.
So I just thought that was pretty good. Don't like yeah,
right on girl. Now. I kind of think she's sincere, as feels
like it. But
well, first of all,
well, let me let me finish the second clip. And then then we
can get into your
thoughts. disagree with anything you're saying. I mean, but go
on. Just play the second clip. So the no, okay, so
the question is, of course, she is the co founder of Code Pink.
She's very well known. How does she get into?
Oh, yeah. It's obvious it says she's planted she's
a thank you and it comes out when she's on Democracy Now. Who
of course, pose the question, but there's no follow up which
makes it so I'm sorry, that's the wrong one
that anything but her
Oh, man, what happened to my clip? Was my frickin setup. Oh,
no, don't tell me I blew this. Oh, here it is cached. Damn.
Almost. Okay, I'm so sorry about that. Here we go. Here it is
repeatedly interrupted President Obama's speech Thursday in an
exchange that ended with him saying, quote, The voice of that
woman is worth paying attention to Medea Benjamin, to Democracy
Now.
That's what he said. Talk about what
happened yesterday. First of all, how did you get into the
National Defense University for this address? I would assume
your face is one of the most famous on Capitol Hill.
There are some secrets, Amy, that can't be disclosed. Please.
You
like saying, Oh, I could be a terrorist. I could have a zip
gun. I could, you know, apparently anyone can just walk
in, within shouting distance of the president. And it's no big
deal. And, of course, Amy Goodman says,
but it was great to get in there. And you know, President
Obama, when I just listened to that segment, he's nothing said
that. I wasn't listening to him. I was hanging on every single
word. And I really expected to hear some major policy changes.
And I didn't know whether I was going to speak up or not. If he
had said something like to show my commitment to go on tonight.
She goes on kind of saying the same thing. So there is no and
Amy Goodman says nothing, nothing at all. Now, there's
some other dude on Democracy Now. And he he Gonzalez guy. Is
that Juan Gonzalez? I think so. Yeah. So and he knows that this
that she was planted. I think on the CNN interview. I didn't clip
that she even says she got an invite to come and it's so
obvious that they this was this was a setup where there she's
complicit or not.
I went to see Led Zeppelin. I've told this story before. Hit me.
Okay, so I'm working a summer job and Led Zeppelin first time
they come into the town first time in the Bay Area, I go see
them. And I just thought this was the best band I've ever
seen. But in one segment of the song, there was this long
pregnant pause where they're ready to rip into one of their
little crescendos. And and just as, as we're waiting and waiting
somebody in the back left hand corner of the It screams at the
top of their lungs perfectly. It's almost like a cue and the
band hits it. And it just brings the house down. Right. And I
thought this was a little I thought this was Wow, that guy.
Wow. And so then another guy went to see the band The next
night and I was working with him in the lunch room and I just out
of the budget, you know, when they were doing this song and
that those guys screamed at the top of his lungs. Did you have a
guy scream at the top of his lungs in the back corner says
yeah, yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah. Oh, shills.
It's called show business. That's what it is in show
business. And we know politics is just show business for Ugly
people. And by the way, Robert Plant lives in Austin. They say
you haven't seen him yet. No, no, I everyone,
because apparently he lives in Travis heights, which makes it
even funnier, which is where we are. And so whenever I say, You
know what, we're in Travis heights, someone says, Hey, have
you seen Robert Plant? I said, No, it's a hoax. He doesn't live
here. This is like an Austin hoax. Everyone's like, yeah,
Robert Plant lives. You know, he doesn't
know that's another good bit that always cracks me up. You
get these there are some celebrities that have these
hoax. Places where they supposedly live. Yeah. Against
the local sales up and they come out with an album boy, it's like
he's a local boy. Yes, he's around.
It's like Sandra Bullock you know, she Oh, she lives here.
Don't know. She doesn't. Have you ever seen her here? You
know, it's like, oh, yeah, sorry. I bumped into her at the
at the ATB. Now this is
there's any superstar celebrities like a Sandra
Bullock actually live actually living there and not visiting
once? Her mom once in a while they would be at the farmers
market? Yes, of
course they would be. So this is? I think she does. She may
have a house here. But even that I'm not so sure. I am. But
anyway, the Robert Plant thing is a funny hoax. Because this
has been going on for months now. Ah, here Robert Plant lives
over there. No, he doesn't. There's no house. No, no one
knows exactly who is hidden place and it's hidden. So Juan
Gonzalez, whoever it is? Key. He knows that this is a setup. And
he is, but I think he's embarrassed. Or maybe it's his
job to ask the tough questions. Because he is stuttering through
the question like like, like he should not be on television,
basically saying how is it possible that they allowed you
to interrupt the President not once, not twice, but three
times?
Having watched interruptions of presidents over many decades, I
was struck by the fact that you got to interrupt him three
different times in that speech. I'm wondering, do you get a
sense of Did you get a sense? Usually after the first or maybe
the second time, the Secret Service, we'll move into drag
people away. But did you get a sense that maybe to some degree,
his people didn't mind at the interruptions?
Yes. Thank you on
to the degree that he was unable to show that he is confronting
opposition on the left to his policies.
is one I give five points to Mr. Gonzalez. You stuttered through
it. But I think you nailed it.
No, not at all. What was happening behind the scenes?
Oh, now she's gonna tell me all this stuff that happened behind
the scene behind the scenes, John, where the Ave off stage
left. The stage managers were prepping the
Secret Service, the FBI, the people from the base coming over
and saying, You must come with us immediately, or you'll be
under arrest and trying to grab me and I was saying Don't touch
me. I'll scream. You don't want to make a scene in front of the
president. You will regret this if you do it. And they were
really confused about what to do.
Yeah. Bullshit. I'm calling that on her. That's not true. You
were not saying this. There was no scuffle going on. In this was
not not a huge auditorium. So it's clear. It's okay. So show
business people set up. Well done. Good job. And what is it
all about? It's about the presidential directive. Which we
don't even have the actual text of the presidential directive,
the P P D. We do have the fact sheet. What that's all we get.
See, we're citizens. We don't get to read the actual documents
so we can dissect the legal basis now we get a fact sheet
that you want to say something before we move on to the fact
sheet. No, let's move on. Fact Sheet US policy standards and
procedures for the use of force and counterterrorism operations
outside the United States and areas of active hostilities.
Okay, here we go. So this is about when to use lethal force
and this isn't that doesn't even specifically say drones. So The
President and I actually we should kind of should play these
two quick clips from his speech. Here is the President because
you know, that kind of got snowed under which was the
obvious point. Here he is on Anwar al aulaqi, who, as we
know, was droned and his the President's reasoning for it
being okay.
I would have detained and prosecuted aulaqi If we captured
him before he carried up a plot, but we couldn't.
Oh, wait, you stopped. A Yeah. When did he ever carry out a
plot? He was a he was a inspiration for others to carry
out plots. He never did anything. Do you know of
anything that he did? When he bombed someone? Did he? did he
shoot someone? Did he leave an IED? Did you do anything?
Well, the President actually has some reasoning behind that what
that means let me finish this 10 seconds,
a plot but we couldn't. And as President, I would have been
derelict in my duty. Authorize the strike? That took him up,
take him out, baby. I love that he's using Street terms now.
And he'd be derelict
and take him out. Right. If I hadn't took it. He said if I
hadn't took him out, which is incorrect English. I believe he
didn't say that. Yeah, I did. He said, took him out. Let me see.
Okay, I'll roll it up. Again. He said, I will be derelict in my
duty if I had not. If I did not want let's let's listen,
I would have detained and prosecuted aulaqi If we captured
him before he carried up a plot but we couldn't. And as
President, I would have been derelict in my duty. Had I not
authorized the strike. That took him out the strike
that took him that took them out. Yeah, I didn't hear that
part. Okay, so here is the reasoning behind it. And it
seems fair.
But when a US citizen goes abroad to wage war against
America, and is actively plotting to kill us citizens,
and when neither the United States nor partners are in a
position to capture him, before he carries out a plot. His
citizenship should no more serve as a shield and a sniper
shooting down on an innocent crowd should be protected from a
swatting.
Let me get this straight. So if you're plotting, and I think the
definition of plotting means that you're, I guess you're,
you're hunkered down in the sand and you're drawing figures in a
stick with a stick. Like, okay, here's what we do. Here's the
plan. I'm over here, you see, we've got the deep we got the
American citizens over there, and we're gonna go over the and
we're gonna kill him with this. I don't know what we're gonna
kill him. And this is my plot. So a plot, even if I'm talking
to other people about it, it does not warrant the death
penalty. But okay.
That's who Anwar Awlaki was. He was continuously trying to kill
people.
No, he wasn't. He was continuously plotting to kill
people. And he and the President just liken that to a sniper
shooting and people. Which is not the same thing. I'm sorry.
It is just not even.
It's not the same. People lap this up is amazing.
I think people don't listen, because this is why you have a
distraction like that, because oh crap. It's pretty crap. In
fact, Jeremy Scott Hill, who is a very vocal about this, and he
was on the Mad, Mad Cow show, which I thought was good because
she's she, she starts off this whole piece like showing
printers that are going to blow up. Like, oh, these printers
were all sad news. Oh, I'm lucky you. Trying to kill people with
this printer lucky died 600 days ago. His case has been litigated
posthumously through leaks from the administration. I'm willing
to concede maybe everything they say is true about Anwar, lucky
for me, it's not about who Anwar Awlaki is, it's about Who are we
as a society, how we treat the most reprehensible of our
citizens says a lot about who we are. So if we had that evidence
against him, what was so dangerous that we couldn't seek
an indictment and uphold the rule of law? And I should say,
and no, almost no one ever talks about this, the first time that
we know that the US tried to kill Anwar al Awlaki, was before
the underwear bomb plot. Before any of the allegations that
President Obama made today. They tried to call out to our lucky
on December 24 2009. This is before any of this had taken
place for any of the things in the Attorney General's letter
having been interesting. It's good that we know that. So now
let's go to the policy document, not the actual policy document,
of course, because we're not allowed to have that. It may
show up in the Federal Register, but I haven't seen it yet. So
here's the facts, facts, standards. For the use of lethal
force, and the decision to use force abroad, even when our
adversaries are terrorists dedicated to killing American
citizens is a significant one. Yeah, lethal force will not be
proposed or pursued as punishment or as a substitute
for prosecuting a terrorist suspect in a civilian court or
military commission. A Talk is cheap, lethal force will be used
only to prevent or stop attacks against US persons and even then
only when CAPTCHA is not feasible, and no other
reasonable alternatives exist to address the threat effectively.
So already they are now contradicting their own policy
because it says lethal force will only be proposed or pursued
a to prevent or stop attacks, but not the plotting of an
attack. Okay, I guess it's all interpretation, a particular
lethal force will be used outside areas of active
hostilities, only when the following pre conditions are
met. You might want to write this down, John. I'm writing
first there must be a legal basis for using lethal force,
whether it is against a senior operational leader of a
terrorist organization, or the forces that organizing is using
or intends to use to conduct terrorist attacks. So if someone
intends to use me to conduct a terrorist attack, that is number
one on the list that can be taken out? Even if I don't even
know it?
Yeah, you they could be listening to no agenda show and
saying, you know that Adam, I think we can use him to do a
terrorist attack. And then you can be killed.
And by the way, there's the word feasible is used. I think words
matter. The definition of feasible is, you know what that
is John.
Yeah, it means it's possible to do it. And I think it implies
easy. Yes.
Very good. By the definition is possible to do it easily or
conveniently. Often some fucking crazy. It's not convenient to go
capture him Hall means you have to go over there. That's not
convenient.
Let's kill him not something at all.
Second, the United States will use lethal force only against
the target that poses a continuing imminent threat to us
persons. It is simply not the case that all terrorists pose a
continuing imminent threat to us persons. I'm not quite sure why
they put that in there. And I'm not sure what the what we've
been through the whole definition of imminence, right.
We've we've talked about this. They've already they've already
redefined what imminent means. So imminent is open to legal
interpretation, which is what all these guys are all these
people are lawyers. Third, the following criteria must be met
before lethal action may be taken. Now we get down to the
nitty gritty near certainty that the terrorist target is present.
So you see, you can't take legal action unless you are near
certain near certain near certainty is the what does that
mean? Certain is certainly even 100% Certain isn't even even
positive. Is it? What is certain?
Well, it means for sure. Really, pretty much. Let's check it out.
Just to make sure we're near certain would be maybe
certain known for sure established beyond doubt. Okay,
so that would be almost almost almost sure. Why can't just be
certain near certainty that non combatants will be not be
injured or killed.
So that hasn't worked out?
Well, nearly? No, we haven't killed all of them. Just need
no, we
haven't killed the entire population.
So but here's here's another favorite. You also need an
assessment. That capture is not feasible at the time of the
operation. Now I like to do that because it's
the DL L of Walker Walker. Let me try.
Let me try it. Let me try it. Am I trying to you Major John C.
Dvorak. Have you assessed if we can capture this Allah waka
dude,
do we have him on the drone monitor? Yes. And is there are
there any nearby soldiers right by him at the moment?
Ah, God looks I'm pretty sure there aren't fire. Wait, you
have to assess the capture? I did. So it's one thing to say
and assess When it's another thing to say, a an assessment, a
positive proof positive beyond a reasonable near certainty doubt
assessment, just an assessment in the assessment is just that.
It's just like, oh, I assessed it doesn't even say, an
assessment, whether it's just crazy. It's an assessment, the
evaluation or estimation of the nature quality or ability of
someone or something. So just it just means the evaluation that
they just did
just I use our little play. Yeah. Which was hurry Devorah
clay house. We did the assessment to exactly the way it
would be done.
We there's another assessment and assessment that the relevant
governmental authorities in the country where action is
contemplated cannot or will not effectively address the threat
to the US persons. Right. And while we're at it, an
assessment, that no other reasonable alternatives exist to
effectively address the threat to us persons.
The guy was in a jeep, heading to the USA. For all we know,
he was heading west, he was heading west. And that's toward
is that's my assessment right there. Can we can we can we put
up a roadblock? That would be a reasonable alternative? I think,
no,
well, yeah, but just locals. They don't care. They think
we're fully crap.
And so just a couple more points here. Finally, whenever the
United States uses force in foreign territories, internet,
this is what's interesting. international legal principles,
including respect for sovereignty and the law of armed
conflict, impose important constraints on the ability of
the United States to act unilaterally. And on the way in
which the United States can use force. The United States
respects national sovereignty and international law. Oh, how
about our constitution a holes? There's no mention of
that. Now, why would there be?
That is that is just crazy. Okay, so who, who does these
assessments as we just did in our little life, actually, we
weren't far off. But actually, we were kind of far off because
I went to Major General Dvorak. But apparently, it can just
include the deputies and heads of key departments and agencies.
And they will consider proposals to make sure that our policy
standards are met, and Attorneys, including the senior
lawyers of key departments, and agencies will review and
determine the legality of the proposals. So here's some
douchebag, who passed the bar who speaks a different language
and can charge money for it. Who's going to determine Oh, it
looks good. And it's not looks? It's deputies, deputies and
heads of key departments and agencies. What like the like so
assistant to the head interns? Do I get to pick? And can we
some coffee while you're at it? Choose Hey, take a look at this.
What do you think just kind of look guilty? Be you? Yeah, give
me some coffee. Okay. This is insane. And this is what no one
talks about? Well, why bother? Anyway, so and then there's one
little footnote here about non combatants who of course, we
have to with near certainty, try to avoid killing them after an
assessment by the interns. Non combatants are individuals who
may not be made the object of attack under applicable
international law. Uh huh. The term non combatant this is it's
so obvious that we, you know, I, I've always stayed away from
jokes about lawyers, because yeah, I've used a lot of them
and, and it's just kind of the way it is. And if someone
studies law, you know, why would I have be a dick about it? You
know, it's just what it is. And you know, the Some people choose
certain professions. But this has, it has gone too far. From
when, you know, the whole idea of we're a nation of laws, it's
just become insane because, you know, in the legal profession,
you can twist and turn everything and this is exactly
what's happening. The term noncombatant does not include an
individual who was part of a belligerent party to an armed
conflict. An individual who is taking a direct part in
hostilities, okay. Or an individual who was targetable in
the exercise of national self defense. What that means anybody
apparently,
I can read I'm not a lawyer. I didn't go to law school, but I
can read and I'm not letting anyone get the slip this by. Of
course, this isn't even the official document. It's just the
facts. act a sheet.
Can you can imagine the official document must be a beauty.
I'm salivating. I want this thing. But I think presidential
directives aren't necessarily released to the public or they.
I think they're only seen some of them. I don't know that. I
don't know what the process is with a directive. Yeah, no, it's
what the orders are. We see no, those get released. Yeah, no,
but I thought the directive was under an order.
Now, a PPD is it is something else, and I think it go it can
go to select committees and Congress. A secret stuff?
Not necessarily to know.
I'm pretty sure it is presidential. Directive. Yeah.
I'm sure.
It's Robert plant's address. Interesting.
Right around the corner. I'm gonna go out there say, Hey,
dude, you had to plant in your show. Oh, I'm sorry. It's your
last name very funny. A form of executive order issued by the
president with advice consent to the National Security Council
directives. Bla bla bla, here we go. Since many of the
presidential directors pertain to the national security many
remain classified. I see that told you. That's bull crap. It
really
is classify why even give us anything including the summary,
the fact
sheet, well, that really doesn't matter. It just really doesn't
matter because the whole thing was interrupted by the lady and
then the lady gets all the press. And meanwhile, while no
one's looking,
a rocket launch this evening is expected to boost the US
military's capacity for communications, we have lift off
the United the single satellites on the rocket has as much
bandwidth as a whole fleet of previous generation satellites.
The increased capacity will be used by the army, and in part it
will help American pilots and soldiers hunt terrorists using
unmanned drones. Naturally, that's right.
Terrorists Hunter, it should just be Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak, terrorist hunters
that might get some funding. So I'm talking about drones. Yeah.
So Rand Paul was up in New Hampshire giving a speech to the
Republicans and you and tell me that somebody's I don't know Is
it me or are they lifting our material? Not sure.
So about a month ago, I got in the car to go to work and I
thought on the way in that I wanted to say something about
drones I've been asking the question for a while and so I
got up and I spoke for 13 hours. And I went to CPAC the next week
and I'm talking to a lot of young people one kid reached out
she yells out and he summarizes my speech in three words. He
says don't drone me bro
Yeah, so this of course, this definitely originated on the no
agenda show and I was carrying a sign with don't grow me bro. Two
and a half three years ago and occupy la before that got co
opted. Right and
you actually got a couple of pictures of yourself but by the
way, I do want to mention something don't drone me bro is
four words not three word.
Drone. Congratulations, John. You win this round That's
correct. Don't drone me bro. Wow, man, that is kind of Yeah,
I that's kind of sad. That you remember the way it went? I
think I have the clipped when he said that. Drone me, bro. Let me
see. I think that Rand Paul was saying I said to the President
for words, and that's when clearly a no agenda producer in
the audience yelled out don't draw me bro. So he doesn't. He
doesn't even remember his own setup. I don't think I have it
anymore.
Yeah, I remember that too. That was the seat. Yeah. From the
seat pack speech. We picked it up. Yeah. Yeah, but he but he's
using it down on the stump.
Yeah, of course. Don't trust him.
I know you don't I don't trust
anybody clip you. And that's only marginally. Hey, do you
have your Did you pack your bag and you got a toothbrush and
everything ready to go? What? To come here.
When?
Like, I thought you were fine on tonight. Why are Mickey's
leaving for Europe for 10 days?
Oh, are you bringing the hookers? Yeah. Hookers
everything. Booker's are the best. Yeah.
Are you speaking on experience?
No, no, it does a survey. Really? Yeah,
apparently, this I had this in the show notes on Thursday. In
Greece, prostitution is up 150% I wonder why prices are down
150% is
a good side to everything.
Actually the story and you can find in the show notes of the
previous show. It's pretty sad. Really. I mean, they're the
hookers are going for like five and 10 euros.
Oh my god. Yeah. So that'll bring the tourists trade up.
By the way, hello, Euro land. How are you guys doing? Awesome.
Let's take a look.
anti Muslim sentiment appears to be on the rise in England after
Wednesday's gruesome murder of a British soldier in London.
Newcastle police estimate a protest by a far right group
drew about 1500 people several times more than expected. How
the demonstration was originally planned to protest the creation
of an Islamic school in England but the focus changed after
soldier Lee Rigby was brutally killed in London by two men who
claimed to be acting in revenge for British wars in Muslim
countries. Another attack on a man in uniform as much of Europe
on edge tonight as well. A French soldier was stabbed in
the neck while on patrol in a busy commercial district west of
Paris. Police think the attack could be linked to rugby's
killing in London. And back to that case, UK police arrested
three men today for conspiracy to commit murder. London has put
more than 1000 extra officers on patrol in light of these
attacks. And authorities have stepped up security in some
major cities here in the US.
That's right. It's called the strategy of tension. Also known
as Gladio, Plan B. And this thing in London, did you look at
any of this, John this a little bit on last show? Yeah, but I've
really gone over there's many different angles. There's,
before you go into that I want to mention what was a French
soldier doing on patrol at apparently a shopping mall or
whatever? What does that mean? Oh, man,
the French soldiers are
all wandering around on patrol. Yes, not the police know the
French have had boots on the ground for a long time. Now
they're everywhere. Now every I think it goes predates the
election? Oh, yeah. There was a gosh, there was one of the guys
who was running for president when they had their elections.
And it's, it's, it's unfortunate, My French is just
not good enough to get the nuances. And I watched like,
three hours of YouTube video, there was this whole
presentation of how the Frances constitution over the years has
been substantially altered. They have had amendments and changes.
And I think I should remind everybody that the American
constitutional system is the Republic, I would say is based
on parts of the French system, correct?
No, the French constitution came far after our
spy. But the idea the idea of a republic.
Oh, and the the Republic may be French and in origin. French,
French philosophy is not from anything they know, it's
not for anything legal. But what you're seeing is that the French
and we had a French guy over the other day, that so they don't
mess around. First of all, they get very uptight when things are
not going the way the people want it. But the actual power of
and this is what's new for them. The power of the people running
the show has been removed because that power is no longer
in hands of the French president. It is all now in
Brussels, all of it. So lawlessness is ensuing. I might
want to point out that Stockholm is burning, burning to the
ground. It's been on fire now for a week. And
that's it's just weird, but we've never nobody's reporting
on it. That Well, there
is some reporting, but I mean, it's not like
well, the New York Times right here the Sunday Times.
Well, you know what, maybe the NBC Today Show heads. They did
have some news now.
Thanks to Time Magazine. We have proof that even the commander in
chief wants dawn the white dinner jacket. There is that 17
year old very Obama as he was called at the time at a senior
prom in Hawaii. That was in 79 President Obama's classmate
Kelly Ullman released the pictures to time complete with
the President's yearbook inscription to her calling her
quote, extremely sweet and Foxy.
Yeah, that's the news people. That's what's important to know
Barry was saying well, how can we don't call him berry
berry
which is Baroque come from?
I can sell that book of his were anywhere on the cover of the
book. He says he was born in Kenya.
So but here's what's interesting about this London thing, it
immediately has moved a whole bunch of things into action,
which I so I'm convinced this was a setup even more so when we
learn that this guy who, you know who chopped up a body and
there was no blood, he's you know, his hands were colorized
on the video. There's some photos, some video video graphic
evidence of this now that you there's an original video that
you can see. And then the video was hands and it's not dripping
with blood. It's colorized. It's almost like this. It's a
Wonderful Life guide. And by the way, he's just talking to the
camera. And I mean, what is this people just walking around.
There's no head separated from the body. There's no blood
flowing anywhere. There's no blood stains left after the fact
the whole thing is incredibly sketchy. And then it turns out
that the Secret Service has tried to recruit him as a spy.
And then the guy who was telling this on BBC News night got
arrested.
It's already known that Michael Adebola Joe, one of the two
suspects was known to the security services. But what's
emerged now is an allegation that mi five tried to recruit
him as a spy. In an interview with a BBC Newsnight program,
one of his childhood friends are being a cyber, says Michael
Adebola show was approached by them around six months ago,
after a trip to Kenya where he claimed he'd been arrested and
attacked.
He mentioned that they weren't. Initially they wanted to ask him
whether he knew certain individuals basically, that was
the initial issue, but after him, saying that he didn't know
these individuals and so forth. What he said is they asked him
whether he'll be interested in working for them. He was
explicit in that, you know, he refused to work for them.
The BBC doesn't have any way of verifying the claim. After the
interview, Abu nusseibeh was arrested at the BBC in relation
to suspected terrorism offenses.
Hey, you can't say that on television, you're under arrest.
Wow. You got one there?
Isn't that amazing?
It's unbelievable. So they had approached the
guy. He says, No, I'm not really interested in doing that. And
then I guess they mind control or whatever, heat and he's like,
Okay, I'll do this one play then. Okay. And then he does it
and then the and then his buddy goes, Hey, man, that's weird.
And then is like, Oops, he's gone. And then, of course, we
have immediately the elites jump into play. There's no force, he
had this big protest, which changed overnight, obviously. So
now we've got a real tension going on. And when that happens,
then rule start to get implemented, changes calm.
Here's, I think Theresa May, the Home Secretary, who of course,
knows that it is obviously the internet that can radicalize
1000s of people,
people will wonder, Is it really necessary to have new laws in
order to stop people standing on the streets of Britain, calling
for the beheading of soldiers? Or is it just that those laws
are not being implemented?
Well, I think the task force which is going to be able to
look across the whole of government, I've talked to you
about the present program. In the home office, we need to look
across institutions like universities, whether there's
more work we can be doing in prisons. But yes, we do need to
look at the powers, we need to look at the laws, we need to
look, for example, at the question of whether perhaps, we
need to have banning orders to ban organizations that don't
meet the threshold for prescription. We need to look at
organizations outside government as well.
I love that the threshold for prescription whatever it means
it's a show titled
what government is doing across the various departments like the
work of Ofcom, for example. These are issues that are
being written off calm as the British FCC.
So I've got let me just be clear, you're talking about in
other words, internet, hate preaching or what's shown on
television, what would you like the congregation regulates?
One of the issues we need to look at is whether we've got the
right processes the right rules in place in relation to what is
being beamed into people's home. What's your
no agenda
show is clearly being beamed at people's homes and it is an
outrageous Read, read his program.
He used to talk about the oxygen of publicity. Is your fear as
Home Secretary, that we the broadcaster's that the internet
service providers have provided hate the public state?
There is no doubt that could I have three
ounces of hate from you, John?
Oh, let me see if I have any in the cupboard
are able to watch things through the internet, which can lead to
radicalization In what we do is we have a referral unit which
members of the public and organizations referral unit are
able to refer into that unit when they've got concern about
what's been broadcast across the Internet and a significant
broadcast. This is so wrong on so many levels
since that unit was set up in 2010. Something like 5500 5700
separate pieces have been taken down off the internet.
We need to look at this removed forever. I tell you this,
as I say, we need to see if we should be doing more, we need to
see if there are additional steps we should be taking to
prevent radicalization is prevent
radicalization. When did this term radicalization. I mean,
we've tracked it for many, many years now. But didn't we used to
have like just different words for this kind of stuff? Like
we'll use it I mean radicalisation, which is
troublemaker to me used to have different words for this.
I'm trying to think as you as you suggest this as a as a topic
to think about. You know, what you're gonna I think we're gonna
have to do is probably, I don't know, we're gonna have to look
at like, some old newspapers that aren't papers and mag
corrupted. Yeah, by In other words, pre 19 I'd say probably
anything in the 70s even bookkeeping in the back of our
minds, we'll figure it out.
How about even pre 911 Maybe just maybe it's through maybe it
really started then this whole idea of button you just like
want to go
and be pre at at least because there was a there was a distance
was beginning and there was a we had a bunch of members they
Carlos the Jackal we always had these. No, no, I don't remember
him. There was a bunch of them. And they were in the news
commonly but they were you know, they didn't use it to clamp down
on the public like they have now how about some reason I'm not
even sure why why any This is great. I
mean, we had radicals we had anarchists. We had communists we
had witches, maybe? Which self which realization? Okay, it's
just the year now is, it's when when you hear someone and this
is in the UK, and I'm sure that our program will be cut off
there first. No doubt. When it's like oh, well, the clearly this
is beaming through the internet is beaming into your home. Self
radicalization tactics being beamed. These people have no
clue and used to talk like that. beamed. This internet. What a
truly beautiful Did you ever think, John in your wildest
dreams? Back when you were writing the windows 95
telecommunications Bible? Was that the that was your best. The
biggest best seller was that the one?
It was the divorce guide to telecommunications actually
predates windows 95 was Windows three was done in the 80s. Yeah,
I sold over a quarter million.
Yeah, that was I remember that. And I came with diskettes. Did
it not?
Yes. Rob, one of those little five inch or demonstrates three
and a half, three and a half
inch hard floppy? Hard floppy. Did you at that point? Because
this is still the this is BBs time. And Fido net. Did you
think
phyto net did a good one.
Listen, I was I wouldn't
serve. Yes. All began with the source CompuServe. And all that
sort of to remember,
what was a cupcake.
I don't remember cupcake.
It was we had the CB thing on CompuServe, which was the
basically the IRC chat room.
Right. And the CB was called the CB simulator. That's right. It
was during the era of CB radio. And so when you were doing your
chatting on CB simulator channels, good buddy.
And you had channels to like different channels to go to?
Yeah, just like to see is a CB simulator. So
that, of course was already quite cool. Because it was like,
wow, there's this network of modems. And you could call into
a local number, which meant that this is kids come sit on my knee
for
a moment. I got a story, you won't believe it. And
it was great, because you would call a local number. And it
would it would be free. Essentially it wouldn't cost
anything. Because it was within your local exchange. This is how
it used to work before cell phones before everything cost
money regard before you were paying 50 cents for a text
message.
Yeah, and you're paying when you get a call.
And then you know and I had I think I had three lines at the
house. And I ran on the line and I ran a BBS for a while. And so
what dial in and then you know they could be on your beep Yes,
and upload a file and leave a message. And then there'll be a
little timer in the corner, there'll be counting down how
much time they had left before the modem would kick them off.
So someone else could dial in. And but did you ever in your
wildest dreams think that we would get to this point where
we're doing a show and there's 10s of people listening? And and
you could sit in California, and I'd be in Texas, and we'd be at
this point. Did you ever really consider that back then?
I should say yes. But it's impossible. Yeah. It's like I
don't when I was, you know, like, in the 80s, for example, I
can't even even though you know, you knew the numbers and you
know, where things are headed. And it's doesn't take a genius
to see a trend in this industry, right. But it still baffles me
that I can go to Costco and pick up a four terabyte dry rot and
40 bucks.
Yeah, you I know you love the drive thing. The storage thing
is your thing.
Well, he's just like, holy crap. When I had my first hard disk,
it was five megabytes.
Ya know, mine was a, I had a 10 I think a 10 megabyte the big,
external scuzzy guide thing, the scuzzy drive with a big that big
fucking connector on the back. A big giant that had clips of the
plug wouldn't come on done. Hey, shut up. You hear that? Like
some some birds and crap out here? Shut up. I'm gonna show
here. Yeah, so I guess what I'm saying is that when I hear when
I hear this talk from from the Home Secretary over there and
Gitmo nation east, they have no clue what they're talking about,
or what they're dealing with. They see it so linear, you know,
it's just they really don't understand and
these people can't use a computer and you have to
remember Janet Napolitano doesn't use email and I don't
think she uses a computer at all.
No, no, we know she has an iPad. This has been confirmed.
Oh, well, okay. I guess an iPad counts for something. Yeah.
But you know, the the self organization
this this snap, look, I can move it with my finger.
She's doing Words with Friends, believe me. So the the, the
capability we have which we're not harnessing, by the way, we
are such losers as human beings, we will come around I'm pretty
hopeful that we're like, We're all waiting for some company to
do it or some. Some, you know, some bullcrap vent all of this
venture stuff for me. So we have this new thing in Austin. It's
called sidecar. Are you familiar with sidecar? Have you ever
heard of this? It's not just in Austin. It's in other places.
You know, sidecar
rings a bell, but you better I don't know. Okay, so sidecar
is essentially it's a system, it's an app. And you as a
private citizen can decide that you are going to be driving
people around like a cab around town. Yeah,
yeah, no, we have that here. There's a number of there's
three or four of these things around the country, different
brands of these things. So
sidecar is interesting, because it really is citizens
themselves, who then say, decide to become a driver. And then you
can look and see, you know, and you see the cars nearby and you
can tap on it. See what that guy looks like a creep. I don't want
him picking me up. So no, you know, you get the dude select
someone.
This, by the way, is a 40 year cycle. Again, this is a modern
version of what we used to have in the 70s, which was
hitchhiking,
right? It takes hiking. And well, the hitchhiking was
actually better. This is the problem, because here, we're all
you know, and now there's a company and the company is you
know, involved in middlemen. It's like why? Why can't we just
figure that the problem is we have bought into this cheap
mirrors and trinkets idea of oh, there's a cool service. There's
Twitter and all this stuff, when we need to be using the
protocols that we control, so that we can self radicalized
I'll use that term organize ourselves, because it's a
beautiful system. It's a beautiful idea. But there always
has to be someone in the middle making money and that screws
everything up every single time. And for some reason, we've been
programmed into not seeing that that is not the way to go. We're
like the like the idiot who just keeps walking into the door,
like oh, it's closed, closed, boats cool, close, close. How
many times are we gonna hit our head against this wall until we
understand what we really have to do?
That sounds like drone talk.
In the morning to John C. Dvorak.

I'm rapidly losing all belief in anything that comes from the
traditional media especially struck by those black is white
up as down at cetera theory. This seems so true. And having
been a business executive myself for years now. I know that it is
a strategy we are using so often in corporate life. If the CEO or
another douche, including myself says stuff like regarding to
your jobs, nothing will change, then you'd better Hi. Anyway, I
hope that the Pay Pal process still works out please be so
kind as to give me a shout up already. It's science. Love the
voice and nap for humanity. Already, science NUMA.
Now if I can get this thing to scroll,
yeah, it's not in this is something that Miss Mickey was
doing a spreadsheet for her for a show that she's doing in
Amsterdam. And I kind of get reminded that spreadsheets are
great for certain things. But when it comes to like what we're
doing here, and you know, if you want to just scroll down and
it's one big cell of information. You can't just get
it to stop it. There must be a way
to do that. Now. This is Microsoft stuff.
I haven't with open office two.

Have you ever noticed? Here's a couple of things. I remember
this back in the days we talked about the CB simulator simulator
earlier. I remember some there was a couple of code anomalies
that if you open a window and then you did something and
another one would OWB on top of it and you couldn't get and it
was the exact same anomaly you'd find in other products from
different companies are exactly the same. So somebody who was
using the same codebase and I don't think they were sharing it
on you know, with any I don't think they were meant to be
sharing it. It was being stolen. Anyways, NorCal and lake north
lakes Queensland to 3333 bit Associate Executive producer. He

idea? He just just want us to be drone and have it all done with
Thank you very much. I'm sure there'll be a lot more that
we'll be working on in the next couple of days. We got the long
part of the week and even though it's Memorial Day weekend, we
will still of course be all over it to them. There's always
something happened. They always like to have things take place
when everyone's out partying and buying cars because that's what
we do here in America when we're supposed to be remembering the
war fallen. And please remember us
to vorak.org/in a
car Swiper hanging out with a family and friends over the
weekends. How about propagating the formula?
Our formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth
it being a memorial day weekend, which as you know in my family
is taken very seriously. I am the the true black sheep of the
family. My entire family comes from a long line of servicemen
and women, both in the uniformed and non uniformed services. And
I am, which is probably why I'm doing what I do. A lot of people
have analyzed me this way. And so Morial Day weekend is, of
course, a time to think about the people who have served our
country. And but the servicemen and women. And you know, I think
it's clear, John are no secret that I have nothing to show in
general. But I think myself in particular, we I have a bond
with people in the service. And I'm not quite sure why. Have you
ever thought about this?
But your bond with people in service? Yeah. No. Okay. Yeah.
I mean, it's I think it started with the challenge coins, but
maybe it's because when I was I went to Iraq, I don't know what
it is. It's been here for some reason. You know, I come from a
family, but I have not served myself, you know, so it's, I'm
serving your country by doing the show? Well, maybe that's
what it is. But for some reason, I have a bond. And so I have a
lot of contact with people, you know, email. Yeah, WhatsApp is a
favorite, your sympatico? I don't know what it is. But I
guess, here's what it is. It's very similar to what people in
three letter agencies have is, you know, I understand, I think
on a human level, what they're going through and what they're
thinking. And because we vocalize that on the show, they
feel that they're not crazy. Maybe that's what it is.
Well, I think there's the public at large, that the public at
large, the ones who listen to this show, for any period of
time, I think it's a relaxing show, because you realize, oh,
yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Because when you watch the
mainstream media, which is really representing the elites
only it's it's they are making no sense that they say it makes
no sense when you listen to and then when there's a good
question, like you said, Amy Goodman doesn't and ask the
question. She doesn't ask the obvious. When she did the report
on the boat, the guy scribbling his note on the boat, and
they've been a plastic boat. Yeah. You know, no, no, just
reads it was just read read it like any other puppet.
So the President does his show. And of course, it's Memorial Day
weekend. So you know, he does a Heil everybody. And, and as I
listened to what he was saying, it really, really bugged me.
Because if you all you have to do is add a moustache and
armband. Or maybe you just think North Korea. And if you just saw
subtitles of what he's saying, you would think to yourself, Oh,
my God, he's an insane dictator. He's obsessed with war. War and
egocentric nonsense. Do you think we could listen to this
and remove ourselves and step back and? And think, to kind of
reverse it? Do you think we can do a role reversal on ourselves?
Do you think that's possible? Because because at first I was
like, Oh, just another boring speech about Memorial Day. And I
played it again, I forced myself and I listened again, like the
words coming out of his mouth. They're inhumane, too, we give
it a try.
I game. All right pile,
everybody.
Hi, everybody. This week, I've been speaking about America's
national security.
Okay. That's the setup, because it's not even talking about
what's when it's legal to kill people,
our past, our present, and our future. On Thursday, I outline
the future of our fight against terrorism, the threats we face
in the way in which we will meet them. On Friday, I went to
Annapolis to celebrate the extraordinary young men and
women of the United States Naval Academy's class of 2013. The
sailors and marines who will not only lead that fight, but who
will lead our country for decades to come. So already
he's talking about fight. This already the word fight has come
out in his message of love and peace.
And on Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day. Officially, it's
the start of summer, a chance for us to spend some extra time
with family and friends, at barbecues or on the beach,
getting a little fun and relaxation. And before heading
back to work, if you've got a job, it's also a day on which we
set aside some time on our own or with our families to honor
and remember all the men and women who have given their lives
in service to this country we love.
Okay, so so far, so good. But remember, this is 2013 We're all
supposed to be getting along. And we're a global universe.
We've got the internet we communicate with people all over
the world. And this guy is not Want to talk about war?
Bear heroes? Each and every one. They gave America the most
precious thing they had. The last full measure of devotion,
though it's so when you die, it's now called the last full
measure of devotion. Do you feel this? This is where I went? Ah,
that's like, you know, I've heard of the ultimate sacrifice
motion, that it's the last full measure of devotion. Devotion,
yes. Devotion.
That's a rather odd word to be using. It gets worse.
And because they did. We are who we are today. What a free and
prosperous nation. The greatest in the world.
I see. This is what if Kim Jong Un's stands up and says we're
the greatest nation in the world? Everyone goes up. It's
shut down set up a hall. But when Obama does it, it's okay.
No, I don't think it's good for any anyone to say we're the best
in the world. It's just this is not modern anymore. This is not
modern speak,
at a time when only about 1% of the American people bear the
burden of artifacts.
Oh,
I see. That's not true. We're
we're all leeching. We're just leeching off of the their true
dedication. And that's not true. You're right.
The service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform isn't
always readily apparent. That's partly because our soldiers,
sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen are so skilled
at what they do. It's also because those who serve tend to
do so quietly. They don't seek the limelight. They don't serve
for our admiration, or even our gratitude. They risked their
lives, and many give their lives for something larger than
themselves, or any of us
see that is also just not true anymore. I'm sorry, I speak to
these men and women, that it's a job. It was probably the only
job that they had in many, many cases. Or it's a it's a family
legacy, because you've got families who are bakers and
families who are, you know, military men and women, and it's
a job and right now they hate you. They hate your guts. This
is this, I'm speaking on behalf of the American men and service
women who tell me, they hate you. They hate you for what
you're making them do for how long you're making them do it
for the unclear reasons that they're doing it. And you're
screwing them right now taking away their money. They do not
like you and this is not going overwhelmed this little Ohio
speech of yours.
The ideals of liberty and justice that make America beacon
of hope for the world.
No, it's not a beacon of hope you can't get in you gotta have
I wish vice all kinds of papers that cost 1000s of dollars. And
then you get in here and then you're just treated like a
slave. That's not true anymore. That's been true throughout our
history. Up until like George Bush, the first maybe from our
earliest
days when a tiny band of revolutionary stood up to an
empire to our 911 generation, which
Oh, our 911 generation there. That's a good one. There it is,
ladies and gentlemen, you're the 911 and you used to be the Pepsi
generation. Now you're the 911 generation, which means forever
you will be you will be terrorized by your government.
The thought that if you don't stand up, and if you don't have
the ultimate dedication, like the 1% of the people who do,
then you're just a leecher and you're not here for the best
country in the universe. This makes me sick continues
to serve and sacrifice today. Every time a threat has arisen,
Americans have risen to meet it. And because of that courage,
that willingness to fight and even die, America indoors. John,
this is sickening. Tell me I'm not like crazy.
Not crazy.
Mad is the purpose of Memorial Day to remember with gratitude,
the countless men and women who gave their lives so we could
know peace and love and freedom. And we must do more than
remember. We must care for the loved ones that our fallen
service members of left behind. We must make sure all our
veterans have the care and benefits they've earned and the
jobs and opportunity
they deserve. Why don't you start doing that? We must be
there for the military families whose loved ones are in harm's
way for they serve as well. And above all, we must make sure
that the men and women of our armed forces have the support
they need to achieve their mission safely at home and
abroad. safely at home. Oh, yeah,
their mission safely?
Do we do they have at
home? Stay well as listened to get
the jobs and opportunity they deserve? We must be there for
the military families whose loved ones are in harm's way for
they serve as well. And above all, we must make sure that the
men and women of our armed forces have the support they
need to achieve their missions. safely at home and abroad. The
young men and women I met at the Naval Academy this week know the
meaning of service. They've studied the heroes of our
history. They've chosen to follow in their footsteps to
stand there watch, man, a ship, leader platoon. They are doing
their part. And each of us must do ours. So this weekend, as we
commemorate Memorial Day, I asked you to hold all our fallen
heroes in your hearts. And every day, let's work together to
preserve what their sacrifices achieved, to make our country
even stronger, even more fair, even more free. That's our
mission.
It's our obligation to make us more free is our privilege. To
it
more fair for us, citizens of the United States of America,
you know, thank you. Thanks. Oh, thanks. Hey, thanks. Thanks.
Hey, thanks.
Hey, okay, I've done thank you,
at least he was honest, and said, Look, let me be clear, we
make stuff that goes on the stuff that you strap on the
stuff that kills stuff. And that's our business. All right.
And that is what keeps our economy working. So that's why
we gotta put people everywhere, so we can continue to sell
stuff, we sell this stuff. This is what we make is what we sell.
Curiously, I have a bunch of clips that address this. If I
took more from this guy would address it even better. But I
got I just too many clips. But let me disguise Bruce ganglion
who is an ex, young Republican turn radical progressive over
the years, which is always interesting, because you have
these crazy perspectives. But here was the attention getter.
This is a very short clip that got my attention where I had to
say, wait a minute, I got I got to listen to what this guy's got
to say
this afternoon, I want to talk to you about the military,
industrial complex, corporate criminal syndicate.
Perfect. Now, I just want the audience to know that at no
point, did you or I have any conversation about what I was
going to discuss or what you are going to discuss? This is pure
coincidence?
No, we do this routinely. Because we're essentially it's
just a this is what the why the show is so good.
We're two hearts beating as one No, no anything but that. Sorry.
Okay, so this guy has his long speech, where he goes on and I
went on for I wish I could have just played the whole thing, but
obviously, I can't. So I'm going to bring out a few of his years,
this will be a build up to a couple of zingers at the end but
play ganglion to get there.
But why? Why would the United States want to restart the Cold
War with Russia? Why would we do that? Well, the only conclusion
I can come to is because Russia has the world's largest supply
of natural gas today, and significant supplies of oil. And
don't we know by now that the primary job of the Pentagon is
to serve as the resource extraction service for corporate
globalization.
So how long has he been listening to the show?
He's actually got here's the problem with this guy. Now this
is I see this with the progressive side, if you take
them to the far right, in the far left, they kind of meet each
other in the middle curiously and are actually not in the
middle, but in the back as they come around. And in the problem,
I'll tell you just I don't have the clip of this. But when he he
finally summarize what we can do to change things. His solution
is to stop global warming and build high speed rail that is
like, oh, no, you have
to get those clips. It was it was very verbose, but he's, he's
right. Of course, that is the answer to everything.
High speed rail. So he's got a couple of theories that he
brings up and I'll try to just explain him as we go along. But
play the the offense clip, part three.
You know, Obama recently announced just a couple of
months ago, a pivot of US foreign and military policy into
the Asian Pacific region. This is a part of a long range plan
that's been under development for some time. In 2001. The
Washington Post reported in an article entitled for the
Pentagon, Asia moving to the forefront, that the US was going
to double its military presence in the Asia Pacific region. And
as a result, you can imagine the Pentagon will need more bases
and more ports of call for its hugely expanding military in the
Asia Pacific. Obama followed this announcement of the pivot
by going to Australia, where he negotiated a deal to send 2500
US Marines to Darwin on the north coast of Australia. Had
you heard that Australia was in danger of being invaded by
anyone? So we had to send in the US Marines to protect them? No,
of course not. This is not about defense whatsoever. It's about
offense. Now it's about sales.
Well, did he explains he actually says that at some
point, but we're going to go on because I got to get to this
this lot. These last two games play the encirclement of China
which is another one these are all leading to the clips I'm
going to that are the are the punch lines.
At the same time the Obama administration is surrounding
China, with these missile defense systems, now putting
ground based launchers in Taiwan, in Japan and South
Korea, and just a few weeks ago announced that they would go
into Okinawa. These Navy Aegis warships with missile defense
systems on board are also going into Japan, South Korea,
Australia, Guam, and Obama is negotiating with Vietnam,
Singapore, the Philippines, and other countries in the region to
move these warships into their country's beginning this
encirclement of China.
That's what I'm going to be thinking about this Memorial Day
weekend. encirclement of China
encirclement of giant China and Russia China. So now we get to
the meat of it. This little ditty is the one that got me he
had two things to say in this whole speech that I thought were
interesting and the first strike clip is one of the two. Each
year
the Space Command annually WarGames a first strike attack
on China set in the year 2016. They call it the red team versus
the blue team. China today has 20 nuclear missiles capable of
hitting the West Coast of the United States. And in this
computer war game, the United States tries to take out those
20 Chinese nuclear missiles. The first weapon they use is the
successor to the shuttle, you've heard the shuttle is being
retired, and in its place is being developed the military
space plane that would fly down from orbit drop a devastating
attack, both either conventional or nuclear weapons, bunker
busters that go under the ground, try to take out China's
underground missile silos. And then they follow on with other
weapons systems in that first strike attack. But in the
computer war game, China is able to fire a few of its nuclear
missiles in a retaliatory strike. And it is then that the
so called missile defense systems, what we call missile
offense systems are used their job take out the remaining
retaliatory capability, giving the US a successful first strike
attack. And so after the first strike sword lunges into the
heart of China or Russia, the missile defense shield is used
to take out their remaining retaliatory capability. And so
of course, this is why Russia is saying we're gonna have to
withdraw from the New START Treaty, because why do we want
to reduce our numbers of nuclear weapons when you're surrounding
us with missile defense systems? And China is saying that we're
going to have to make our nuclear weapons survivable. And
that's why they're buying submarines from Russia so they
can take their nuclear weapons and put them under the ocean
where they can't be so easily taken out. In a US first strike
attack.
Can I interject before you get to your to the big punch line?
Yeah. So what showed up in the Federal Register, an amendment
to the international traffic in Arms Regulations, the revision
of us Munitions List category 15 and definition of defense
service, so they changed some definitions. I'll just read this
one little paragraph as part of the President's Export Control
reform effort. The Department of State proposes to amend the
international traffic in Arms Regulations to revise category
15 to describe more precisely the articles warranting
controlled by the USML the definition of defense services
to be revised to a man Other changes specifically include the
furnishings of assistance for spacecraft?
It's interesting,
How often have I said that there's space wars going on
right now as we speak?
Well, actually, if you listen to this whole guy's speed, this
whole speech from this person, he talks about this too. And he
talks about the Space Command and all the rest of it. There's
a lot of stuff that, you know, he talks about how
you remember the kid, the hacker who found out that he saw the
Pentagon computer where it talked about who was on world
and off world, right, the kid they wanted to extradite this is
this is real.
So anyway, eventually, it always becomes about the money no
matter what. And so we have clip six, which actually brings a lot
of this, you know, he brings out the point that, you know, the
Obama before he got elected promise, you're gonna take down
these missiles, the Bush missile defense stuff, because they were
old and outdated. We got to put in the new stuff. Well, that's
essentially what this clip tells us about, but it's got a little
another angle.
Well, just prior to the 2008 election, and very dear friend
of mine and Maine, an old man by the name of Herschel sternly
said to me, Bruce, have you ever heard of the crown family in
Chicago? And I said, No. He said, Go home and Google it
crown. Cr o w n. And so I did. And what I learned was that at
the time of the election, the Crown family was the majority
stockholders in General Dynamics corporation that owns Bath Iron
Works, where I live in Maine, that today is building these
Navy Aegis destroyers, with these so called missile defense
systems on board. And as it turned out, the Crown family
collectively gave Obama $500,000 for his 2008 run for president.
In fact, they also raise money for him within the military
industrial complex across the country. And so after the
election was over, and after Obama had won, Aviation Week,
and Space Technology Magazine reported that Obama received
more campaign donations from the military industrial complex,
then the right wing war hawk, John McCain did in that
presidential election, the Crown family
because they believe in Barry, because they love him, they
think he's gonna change everything right,
is also a Jewish family, and raise money for Obama
nationally, within the Jewish community. So remember what I
said early on soon after Obama became president, he announced
that Bush's version of missile defense that was supposed to go
into Poland in the Czech Republic would not be deployed,
and instead, he moved forward with a different version that
benefited the General Dynamics Corporation. The version that
Bush wanted to deploy was a Boeing, Lockheed Martin version
of missile defense. The cost of the standard, what they call
DDG, 51. Navy Aegis destroyer previously, has been $1.5
billion each a lot of money. But a new version is now for the
first time being built at Bath Iron Works. In fact, the Navy
didn't want this ship, because it's so expensive, that they
said it was going to harm their shipbuilding budget, but Obama
said no, you have to build it. And just a few weeks ago,
Associated Press reported that this new high tech version of
Aegis destroyers will cost somewhere between four and $7
billion per ship. So Obama clearly is rewarding the General
Dynamics Corporation for helping to make him president of the
United States of America
I am so how does he get from there to high speed rail I mean
that's
well yeah he goes on and on with the stories that are all
this is great. Where was this from? What was this on?
This was this was on free speech TV, hence does buzzing
today, do they not know grounding over there?
No idea what a ground free speech
What's at home? Is this available online? You think
speech TV? Probably the guy's name is GYG Nan.
Bruce gang known? He looks exactly like Larry David the
comic community interest makes it very difficult to watch him.
Oh, yes. Is that the keynote?
Yeah. keynoted something.
Oh, fabulous. If this is yeah, march 31 This must be This must
be what it is. Let me just check in you just tell me if this is
it. And I'll put it in the show notes. Because this is it was
like an hour.
Yeah, about an hour. It was good. I mean, but except then he
came into the global warming thing. It was just like how do
you make that connection? That's the it was it the way he did it
was so convoluted that it wasn't even it wasn't clippable and
then high speed rail was the real irony because he apparently
doesn't realize that high speed rail is the biggest bigger scam
and then as we've discussed over the years, it's just a setup. So
so like Warren Buffett can get free tracks do
you think that may be him doing that is his way of not getting
too to the head kind of like I talked about, you know, like I'm
crazy and
it gets good to come to the head from who from the
environmentalists? No, he won't get shouted down Well, that may
be part of it because you know, the left right now shout you
down. Yeah, they do. If you do not have if you don't follow
their they have their checklist of right has its checklist. Both
these checklists are terrible. From both sides of the of the
argument checklist
or hitlist, what do you want to call it?
But it's a checklist of you have to follow these are you won't
get picked up? Your stuff? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. This is don't get to
be won't be the Rand Paul at the at this dinner. If you are not,
you know, extolling certain things, right, right, has on its
checklist. And the same thing with this guy. So I don't know.
But I think he was sincere about the global warming and the
trains, we got to get people out of the cars, he said, and put
them in trains, I don't know about you. But once you get to
the train station, you gotta get a car again. And somehow, you
know, I think the whole idea we need these apps where people
can, you know, hook themselves up and just just just be, you
know, just an app, you know, it's just a bunch of developers,
this is the problem,
right? Here's the problem with those apps that you're talking
about the car?
No, I can tell you the problem, it'll get kicked out of the
Apple store. That's the problem.
It'll get kicked out of the Apple store. They're in San
Francisco they already have a law against it. You can't do it
in New York. It mean that the local Councilman get pretty much
beaten up by the taxi guys let's like Eric in our business away,
that's like Airbnb is now outlawed, or the It either is or
about to be outlawed in New York, you can get is and the
train that in Austin to we have, we have friends who have a
little chalet in the back, you know, we call it a chalet.
Basically, it's a shed that they made look real property, and
they rent it out for I think it can be as much as like during
South buys probably 200 bucks a day. And people gladly pay it.
But then all of a sudden, the city shows up and it's like,
well, you know, we got it unlicensed, got to have an
inspection done. And of course, they can't have it inspected.
Because it's, you know, it's not like a room in the house. It's a
chalet. So, you know, it's not meant it's not fit for human
consumption, probably. So then they say, oh, no, we're just
having people in the house and they inspect the house, the
whole thing is crazy. And then they wind up paying a license
fee. And that's just the beginning of the end. Whereas
Shouldn't you shouldn't just be up to you can't you just if I
want us
as a government intrusion, as in the personal, you know, personal
freedoms, freedoms? Yeah, well, there's that, that I was looking
for the perfect word, freedom, whatever the case is, yeah,
government, government intrusion on personal freedoms and your
ability to just act outside the government where the government
is not, you know, checking in on everything you're doing that, of
course, the government argues that is protecting the poor,
innocent idiot who uses Airbnb, unknowingly. You know, there
could be a cockroach in the place, or it might be unstable
or could catch on fire. And we're, you know, the first. And
their argument would be, well, you know, the first one of these
places that catches on fire and kills the guy who used Airbnb,
they're gonna blame us,
right?
And, you know, they always said, this is a common, it's like,
this is the essentially the how far we've gotten with, if you're
chewing gum in class, if I let you chew gum in class, that
means I have to let everybody chew gum in class. If I let you
do that, one thing that I have to let everybody do that one
thing, which is the lot, which is illogical if you think about
it, because not everybody wants to do that one thing, whatever
it is, this is this is the problem with all this stuff. And
I think you hit the nail on the head, which is that instead of
bypassing and when you try to bypass with these apps, you end
up getting didn't arrest the government
arrested Yes.
You'll get arrested well maybe legal cab service
eat is maybe it's time to read this though. Adams gonna read
Izzy Is this the fast gonna read his? Mama no Genda
you actually told me I should read this on the show.
Yeah, the one that will Yeah, I did. Yes. It's
from Sir Jim of Jamaica planes to make a plane I'm sorry not
planes to make a plane on the May 23. No agenda podcast while
discussing the growing concern that some Americans have to even
contribute to the no agenda show because it's security checks.
You mused about what parallels there might have been in Germany
in the 1930s. This is indeed new. You said what was it like
at the dinner table in the 30s when Hitler was coming into
political power, and things were changing? So a surgeon who I've
met Sir Jim, nice guy, he would be the first one on the train.
By the way. The best treatment of the subject that I have read
is attention, no agenda book club in the garden of beasts by
Erik Larson. And this is in the show notes, which tells us it
tells the story of Germany slide into fascism through the eyes of
the US ambassador, William Dodd and his family. One of the most
inspired pieces of population control developed by the regime
was the Hitler salute, which started as a military suit among
soldiers and was quickly mandated for all German
civilians. Heil, everybody. All greetings between German
citizens had to include the Heil Hitler, and the extended arm
salute. I didn't know it was mandatory. That's kind of cool.
Kid, imagine you can get people
to slam in their heart.
Only non Germans were exempted from the requirement. The book
tells the story of the well known us colonists commentator
HV countin. Born a German apologist and Roosevelt
opponent, while in Berlin, he and his family were attacked on
the street because they failed to salute a group of soldiers
marching down the street. A fluent German speaker Kaltenborn
told the soldiers he wasn't American, but they roughed them
up anyway. It's no wonder that everyone fit falls in line faced
with the continuous requirement brutally enforced for these very
public demonstrations of obedience. Having read
extensively about the German experience through the
throughout the 30s, it makes me very uneasy to see our subtle
but steady progress down this road. zero tolerance policies of
various types, corporate mandated politically correct
language schooling, security theater in the airports,
continuous video on phone monitoring the read of
definition of constitutional rights to cultural monitoring,
we are creating the same environment of being
continuously watched and evaluated for appropriate
thinking and behavior. I wonder where it all could lead? If only
we had a previous example was signed, sir. GM of Jamaica Plain
new home out of needs. Are you going Jim? Kay, that's drone
talk.
Rollin talk, that's drone talk.
That's just drone talk. It's a beautiful note. And thank you
and I picked the book up and I have started reading and I'm
gonna, now I'm going to be reading it. Probably tomorrow,
I'll finish it. And how little we know of history how little we
remember how little we're taught. Really, if history
were taught next to nothing nowadays,
I think that even my generation, which is the pre 911 generation,
I don't know what I what was what Gen and the Pepsi Jack's
Gen. No, no, please. Oh, you're late, baby boomer.
I'm the Pepsi generation.
Okay, that's what I am.
I truly am the Pepsi generation, where we were born into a world
of I like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
And that of course, is a coke commercial. Well, but they call
it upset generation singing a coke song.
That's how confused we are.
Yeah, well, there's that.
Um, well, now you've messed with my head.
Or now confused. So here's just a little short thing. I want to
remind people that we do these analysis as there's other
podcasts you can listen to. Oh, really? I have a couple here but
I'm going to play this one which is I think the most awkward
podcast ever. You could be listening to this instead of no
agenda, recording
now. Hello, everybody. Hey, my name is sub to me for review.
And this is my channel probably. I don't know. I don't know where
we're gonna be my channel. It's not going to be famous to show I
might upload as well. You can't stop me. So guys, stay say your
names. Press one I'm talking to Connor I don't think I heard
him. Yeah, I don't think it did either. Yeah. Wow, this was
awkward. Just the most awkward
Hahaha. Yeah, this this is the most awkward podcast ever this
is this is mine now. You can't you can't do anything about it.
Bob. Come on me bro. What did you say you can't command me
bro. guessers
Yes, well that yes, that's true, John. I don't think they're
quite there yet not quite at the level of
it's funny because I was going to read a quick note. As we lead
into our, our thankful segment here. And this is producer Matt,
who has been trying He's been following up on your advice and
he's been trying to listen to other podcasts. And he has come
back with a report. And Adam and John, I listen to a lot of other
podcasts as you suggested lately. I've heard on several of
them claim in one way or another that conspiracy theories are not
real. The most recent Penn's Sunday school with Penn Jillette
has Penn and his co host debunking JFK assassination
conspiracy theories, and claiming the official report was
factual. They also mocked the moon landing and 911 conspiracy
theories. They then went on to mock Jesse Ventura for being
able to back up his claims. Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan
experience has been talking about supporting the TSA and
claiming that conspiracy theories about the government
are silly even though he spent last weekend on Mount Rainier
looking for Bigfoot. On the latest twit, Leo and his guests
bring up that it's hard to believe in conspiracies because
it's hard to believe that people are smart enough to pull them
off. And on the Adam Carolla show, Adam and the others have
been talking about how conspiracy theories aren't real
because Nixon couldn't even pull off Watergate. So if they can't
even do that, how can 911 or JFK assassination be staged? The
fact that people don't agree with conspiracy theories doesn't
surprise me. But all this being talked about on various shows
during the same week. Got my attention?
Yes, I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
It's a conspiracy about conspiracies.
I kind of like that. Yeah, that's a good one. That's it.
That's a medic. It's
a meta conspiracy. Thank you, Matt. I
want to thank a few people, including including serve pap
smear. And eaglemont Stan, he's got a birthday coming up. I hope
that's yeah, he's on the list. He's on the list for sure.
Monica Lansing and Drayton, Alberta Drayton Valley, Alberta,
where all the money is 133 33 She said that she knew was time
to donate when she saw a bunch of threes in her bank account.
That's always the clue right there. I think so. Teece Burrell
or tysz?
Oh see hold Teece G's
in Eindhoven. 111 11
It's interesting. The we seem to have hidden nerves. I think the
Euro land is and the lowlands somehow something happened there
because we get a whole bunch of donations people emailing me. I

congratulates his wife, Natalie, happy birthday from all your

Yeah,
I do listen to other things. And so I'm listening to that maniac.
And I don't know why they keep him on the air. And I and he's
something is going to happen to him, because he's so caught self
contradictory in the way he approaches News Analysis. Who's
that? It's like you're saying one thing? You're saying
something else? Ed Schwartz.
What now? What is he on a must be at MSNBC? Yeah, of course.
Right. And so Ed Schwartz comes out with a rant. All he does is
rant against the Republicans and he just bitches and moans about
the Republicans, but he doesn't seem to get his. I think his
facts are crooked. And he's ranting about I don't know what
the play these two clips is just two clips of Ed going off the
deep end, blaming the Republicans for the here's what
it was stemming from there was a bunch of Republicans, or I
guess, just people in Congress saying the heroes in that school
that got decimated in Oklahoma, there's just teachers were
heroes. And he's all upset about them, calling them heroes,
because he says they're heroes all the time. And they're always
trying to take their money away from them. And they're, you
know, they're trying to start private schools, even though I
have to say private schools are filled with teachers that
probably get paid more, and that might be a benefit. But anyway,
let's play clip one,
realize that there are heroes in classrooms every day in every
school across America, when it comes time to talk about their
pay, or a better health care or their pension or even protecting
their pension. Well, they don't hear any hero talk then do a
there are a bunch of union thugs there a bunch of underachievers,
people that you would never think would step up during a
disaster and save a kid's life. No, they're only heroes when
they do that. A White House report shows that roughly
300,000 education jobs have been cut since 2009 300,000. Is that
going forward or backward? You think the Republican budget cuts
is what they are, along with the recession? No doubt. It has
created a very toxic environment for teachers in their
profession. And right now, ground zero you could say is
Chicago, the Chicago public schools are ground zero, the
battle to protect our teachers and save an American institution
this week. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, he's the expert. You know, he
handpicks The Chicago School Board voted to close 50 schools.
It is the largest round of school closures ever to hit this
country. And there is no denying that the closings hurt poor
African American neighborhoods and African American American
kids. Now the Chicago Sun Times reported that nine out of 10
students affected by these closings are black.
Does this seem weird to you? Does he know that Rahm Emanuel
is like not only a Democrat but worked in the Obama
administration? Or is he like?
I mean, I just find this this is what I talk about when I talk
about the short circuited.
Yeah, no, that's what that's exactly what it is. His brain is
fried is he's gone loopy.
Yeah. And so he can, but he can't let up. So he goes back
and it was part two here, which is I guess it's longer or
shorter, can't tell shorter. And it's the same thing. We see this
so often with all these politically driven people. They
are there they have their minds are, are scrambled by the self
contradictory nature of their arguments.
I have to ask you tonight, folks, what to all of these
governors have in common. They are Republicans. Public
education. They want to voucher Medicare, they want to voucher
health care. They want to voucher public education. They
don't mind if some kids fail. You know that currently 13
states have some form of a voucher program. Make no
mistake, these vouchers are it's a conservative plot to privatize
education. These vouchers are going to leave kids behind it
will funnel public education funds right into private
schools. Why? Because these people think they're going to be
better. It is unfair, it's racist, and in some courts, it's
been ruled unconstitutional. So when I started hearing all this
talk about heroes, the teachers are heroes. They're heroes at
shootings, they're heroes at tornadoes. No, they're heroes
every damn day because they're putting up with an ideology that
is attacking them.
So this is all of course all under the aegis of NBC. which is
really a arm of General Electric still, right there on caseloads
and mostly and so the kind of thing you find on NBC showing
the kind of overall naivete of the network is ads like find a
forest near you.
Forest is a magical place for your whole family with animals
and fun all around. So discover the forest and explore all the
wonder that's there. Visit discover the forest.org to find
a forest near you.
I got a forest right here between me and my pants along
the forest near you. I mean, are you kidding me?
What is it find a forest forest.org
Find a forest. You idiots. Hold
on let me find a forest. Hey. Google is suggesting find a
florist. Wait a minute. Find a four. Did I misspell it? Find a
forest. Oh, discover the forest. That's not what he said though.
No, he
said find a forest.org gidney. Oh, let me check.
Visit discover the forest.org forest
discover the forest. Let's see, within 15 miles from numerous
zip code.
It's another one of those $8 million websites waste of money
as usual.
Let's see. I can select all these activities. Okay, let's
go. Oh, wow. Oh, we got lots of forests around here. Of course.
It's Austin. You have to Austin. You kidding me? They have an app
to the nature find app who the who? Who's paying for this? Ad
Council? Course the PSA. PSA? Yeah. So that's
worse PSA, or the one that came up was one of the house ads
where they have the more you know, yeah, this is an old
campaign, by the way. Yeah, well, they got new versions of
it from children's programming, our
you know, I watched Smash, which I think the seasons ended. And
they keep putting the girl who plays Maryland, she does a
couple of these, the more you know, and I, I should have
recorded it because we could do a great segment, making our suit
and go like, What the fuck is that? It's like, well,
you think that's crazy. Listen to this one.
Do you know what's super cool about having your own plate?
It's all yours. And it's small like you so the grownups won't
use it. And it's the perfect size for the perfect portion to
keep you healthy. You'll love your super cool smaller plate.
The more you
have the small blade slave and shut up.
What was that all about?
You need a small plate. This is this is this is it? This is
1930s this was sitting around the table fits. You need a
smaller plate. She won't become fat and you can't you can fight
in the army. Heil Hitler.
This is exactly it. Are we just doomed to repeat history?
Apparently, as America, how is it possible? How can we have How
can I get this far?
I know it I think there's where we're not doing anything with
our infrastructure because we expect it to all be blowed up in
like some massive war between China, Russia, us and who knows
who?
Well, it's about time. We're about time we get some new
stuff. Wow. Yeah. By the way, from the crackpot files. You
know, Russia had this huge offshore earthquake, Although
who knows what an 8.5 is anymore? It could just be your
teeth rattling or something? Well, maybe it's 8.9. There is
word on the air. I shouldn't read this to you because it's
kind of funny. Let me see it was called alert alert. Here it is
alerts.
Now this is US Forest Service. Partnering with the Ad Council.
Word is public money anyway, go on.
Word is California is about to get the big one. I love one.
This is predicted
this. This one. What year has this not been predicted?
I'm just saying it's time once again. And peep the elites
apparently are moving out of the San Jose area.
No, they're not okay.
taking them away just for the long weekend. Okay. I mean, you
don't don't put it in the book. By the way. There was a story.
And I don't know I've lived in in San Francisco for a while and
certainly visited quite a bit and it was a story I think in
The Guardian about the private shuttle buses for the Google and
Twitter and Apple workers. You Yeah, that drives the city and
pick the elites up and then drive them to where and that
people getting pissed off at this? Well, it's
because there's so many of them. Well, yeah,
but the public I think also because parking for regular
slaves is 25 cents per 30 seconds. The public
transportation is atrocious. And I think if you see one of these
buses, one of these Google or Twitter buses, you should need
to egg it.
Yeah, we should be ageing these buses. Yeah, this
leads to their Wi Fi air conditioned buses floating on by
you little slave lifts as they shower their trinkets of free
services on you. And let me make the calculation. What is it one
I think Tumblr claims 150 million users, let's say it's
50. Let's just say it's 50. That would be a lot. 50 real 50
million real users?
Right? Not just somebody who wandered by signed up and then
never returned, which is generally what?
Mr. So if we take six, so we take 1 billion well actually is
1.1. So 11123123123 divided by 51 23456. So does that mean that
you were worth 22? bucks? Or is it 220? bucks?
Well, generally speaking, what do the verse calculation you can
figure it out? So what's 50 million times 20? times 10? Is
500. times 20, would be a billion. Yeah, so it'd be about
22 bucks. So,
so that, but that's what you are worth, to Yahoo. If you have a
Tumblr account and use it
not a bad number, by the way, no, but number of values,
I just want people to understand. That's how that
value is actually determined. Right? That's how it's done. So
thank you for your 20 bucks. That you the Shizen that have
now been sold off with your work, your content, your ideas,
your thoughts, your posts, your
balding, gave it away, gave it away, and but you end up with a
surplus. So you're worth $20 Because you're you're a guy who
gives away content. Yeah. And so they took you packaged you up
the way magazines and newspapers and all these websites that sell
advertising do the same thing, which is what we don't do, by
the way, and I want to encourage people to remember that, yeah,
that you're not the product. No,
you have a stake in the show. That's what you have. And
there's never going to be a moment where someone's going to
come along and say Adam and John, were buying your show.
That's, I would guarantee that I think
we can put that in writing. We're buying your show. Let me
see how many 10s of listeners do you have? So it's just yeah, and
then these Well, of course, their New York based company,
but it's the idea of it all. You know, it's the idea. It's as
kept going back to what I said earlier. How insane Are you? Or
are we really collectively it's funny, Mickey was convinced that
you friended her on Facebook. It's funny, there's this dude
who has a profile, and it's basically your picture but also
like made weird kind of witch, like like photoshopped, grungy,
crunchy and the name was like, John vores jock, you know, like
some bastardization and she accepted the friend request is
like, Well, I think John friended me with a secret
Facebook account. I said, Let me tell you one thing. This man
does not have a Facebook account. He really really really
doesn't she's Are you sure? Are you socialise? Absolutely.
Because she thought it was brilliant. It was like it was
like stealthy No,
I don't have time for that kind of game No. Besides that I give
my my social networks are LinkedIn and Twitter that's what
I use it Do I have to be a part of every social network. No, are
you doing people? Oh join me. bombastic join me a clout Do you
know what my one thing after another my ridiculous you'd be
spending all your time joining these idiotic things in this
usually useless
I'm leaving everything and I'm after the show today. I'm
completing my my sign up and configuration of my new social
network. PSK male
PSK net PSK male PSK male Yes. What does that mean?
Well, it's the name of a program PSK mail. It's a social network,
which functions only with high frequency ham radios. PSK phase
shift to A PSK phase shift, keying. Yes, thank you Phase
Shift Keying. And it does connect to the internet. But it
also it doesn't need it so you can still communicate in their
servers all over the world. It's all Unix based stuff. And you
can hit one of these servers and
mail. They have a wikispaces.com entry. Yeah. And it's a real
deal.
Yeah, you can do aprs messages. So you could communicate, you
can even you can actually tweet from this as well, it does
connect to the internet. But if the internet falls away, then
it's the network is still in place. So I can't wait.
You can still communicate. Me I'm in Austin.
Send Sam seeds.
So there was an interesting thing that happened this week
with David.
Paul on a second chat room. That is PSK male m a i l. They all
think I'm like I'm a some gay network. Hey, I'm joining PSK
male Okay,
leave me alone.
Debt. So David, Koch. Look, cook row. So he's was like, he's one
of the major donors to Public Radio.
I read this story. This was what was what was this? It
was in the New Yorker. And apparently what they did was
they, they decided to do the somebody did a documentary that
essentially just slammed the crap out of him. Do you have?
Do you have a clip for this? Or no, I have no clip. I'm just
gonna explain it funny. I like a good story. Yeah.
And one of the reasons that I'm telling the story, because this
is another example of why our model for survival is better
than you know, this other version, because the PBS was
torn about running the documentary on especially like
he's on the board of w n e. T. And he's a big supporter. He's
given hundreds of millions of dollars to Public Radio and
public TV.
I don't know if it's hundreds
of a hit piece on him on one of his companies that he's like on
the border.
Well, hold on, hold on. I understood that it was partially
a hit piece on the building that he lives in. And it turns out
that there's a whole bunch of other Democrat elites who live
in the same building, because of course,
there is that but the true rich people are Democrats. Why that
proves that that's for sure. But yeah, it was 7040 Park Avenue, I
believe. But anyway, there was a bunch of very nasty stuff about
him being a douchebag. Essentially, yeah. So he just
pulls the plug. He said, Fuck it, I quit this. Quit WNET, I'm
not giving any more money, you know, if you're gonna pull this
crap. So everybody goes on and on about, oh, this just proves
that, you know, they got great moral standards at these
networks. And this is what the New Yorker extensively
concluded, because they had a choice between one of their
supporters, big time sponsor, and then the hit piece. So they
chose the hit piece and got rid of him. He left. Yeah, I saw it
completely differently. They have never done anything like
this to their other big supporters, Bank of America,
Chevron, Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto. BNSF,
the Burlington Northern any of these guys, which are having,
you know, they have a liberal bias. So they got the one guy
who has a right wing bias, they do a hit on him. Yeah, get him
out of there. And then they take all the seats to feel so good
about themselves, even though for all practical purposes, most
of public television is anti. I mean, we know this it's it's an
anti right. It's very pros. Very liberal. very corny, the whole
thing. This is not stepping up. It's corny, corny. It's corny.
Hey, Did did you I mean, there was a pretty interesting little
protest that happened over the over the weekend. What you Oh,
this wasn't on public television.
I didn't see it. Wow, that
was like 40 countries. And these were real. I get a little round
up here. Of course, you you may not see this on on public
television. I believe Monsanto is a big supporter of PBS. Am I
wrong? I've seen them support many, many times. So here's a
little Roundup. I think I got some Seattle and some Canadian
news. And you can tell that these protests were real and
from the heart, because the signs are not professional.
That's how it usually works with real protests. So there's no
organization behind them, other than citizens who are just mad.
This March, one of hundreds of rallies scheduled across the US
today. A march organizer hopes voters will support initiative
522 In November, which would require labels on genetically
altered foods. Demonstrators say Monsanto and other agri chemical
companies do their own testing of seeds,
and they don't allow independent testing of their seed without
their permission. So this is an important thing that we want is
to be able to know what's in our food. examine what's in our food
demand testing demand accountability.
Monsanto says it seeds help farmers produce more More food
while conserving water and energy.
Hundreds of protesters marched in downtown Vancouver against
genetically modified foods. Demonstrators say they want to
highlight the dangers posed by those foods and the companies
that produce them, including seed giant Monsanto. Similar
marches were held in more than 50 countries around the world.
We'll see how to police were looking to see if there's a link
between today's smelly envelope scare in a downtown grocery
store, and a protest against the controversial food maker.
Everyone inside the Whole Foods near Westlake indeni were
evacuated this afternoon. After two letters were found. They had
notes written on them and they smelled like rotten eggs.
Today's protest march in downtown Seattle against
Monsanto starting to
that, by the way is a funny protest. That's the stuff that
you need to be doing. It's rotten egg smell. Oh,
my God, there's rotten eggs clear out the place. Poisonous
parking ended near the Seattle Center. There were other
protests against Monsanto. They took place in more than 36
countries and 250 US cities today. Organizers say they're
calling attention to the dangers of genetically modified food and
the companies that produce it. genetically modified plants are
grown from seeds engineered to resist insecticides and
herbicides, and also improve crop yields. Opponents believe
they can lead to health problems that also harm the environment
but the federal government and many scientists countered that
the technology is safe.
So there was not a lot of this on the big networks or any of
the cable news networks. You know, instead we just have to
have incessant over and over again of people standing next to
rubble. I get it.
Yeah, you know it's Yeah, sure. Or that other story that you've
the dog into the guy was left and then we got a football
player and other presidents forget.
And then it was gonna be the Liberace movie.
The Liberace
movie? Oh, you
don't know about this? Well, this is the new show.
Talking about oh yes. No, I saw I can't wait to see this. This
is Matt Damon and Douglas Michael Michael Duggan. Oh,
watch that. Yeah, I in the candelabra. It's on isn't it on
HBO?
Yeah, because no American distributor would take the movie
it looks like
theaters in Europe. It looks super cheesy.
Cheesy to me. I was thinking about this toy no American dish
I'm looking at what I've seen the trailer I'm thinking can see
why but he's gonna go to the theater to watch this TV movie
I would it's probably like Liz and Dick only a little bit
better. By the way this thing on the Monsanto thing in Montgomery
Alabama there's a big port and you know people are dying there
from some mysterious respiratory disease thing seven or eight
people have died already. And the theory I'm hearing is that
the because of the weather the cotton is a little late this
year but that it's Monsanto cotton seed and this is getting
into people's lungs and the and the dying from it. Now this
could obviously be an anti Monsanto plant that story but I
think it does warrant looking at
who knows what that stuff would do to you. Right? Yeah, no, this
is definitely needs to be looked into.
Meanwhile, in Toronto,
I do not use crack cocaine. Nor am I an addict of crack cocaine.
As for video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never
seen or does not exist
that's the mayor we got shitty mayor's compared to Toronto.
least they got guys. Did you hear about this
borderline Clip of the Day this guy
so that apparently this is great. There's a video of the
mayor of Toronto smoking crack with crack dealers. And but the
person who has this video, we won't sell it unless the live
like $200,000 or whatever. But listen
to what he says I do not use crack cocaine. He says
I do not you didn't say I didn't he says I do not use nor am I an
addict, nor am I an addict. What he
like this is like Norma and Adam this is like I didn't do I
didn't shoot her and they had I'm not a good shot.
I think it's funny. Like if only if he would just say yeah, I
smoked that crack. So what she problem is the city running the
trains on time. What is your problem? Back? I got a couple of
little zingers here. You know Stephanie Miller
Yeah, she's the one that was Is she the one from the New York
Times or
no? Well, I only know her because I think on HLN know what
is the other CNN maybe this HLN headline news or whatever? In
the morning. She has a radio show in the morning. Yes. And
then she but now her not like no. She's uh she touts her
lesbian identity a lot.
Yeah, she is like in the same league as I think Randy Rhoads
and some of these other guys right commentators, right she's
She's hilarious kind of a semi comedic Obama bought Yeah.
Oh total Obama bought and use a lot of sound effects.
Oh well that's always a good side everything Yeah.
And but she also because of her Obama botanists shows up on you
know MSNBC and then and then she looks she really cleans up well
from the morning show your hair is all nice and pretty and she
just to you she says that kind of like a mean a mean glint in
her eye. Because she's just
she's, you know she's a douchebag Yeah, maybe
if she
just thinks she's got that mean streak in her and then she's and
she's just lockstep Obama but I don't like her.
Yeah, me neither. And so So Anthony Wiener, of course, is
really going to run for New York Mayor, he's announced and he's
done. This video is like, Hey, I'm here. I'm sorry. And, and
you have to you might actually want to go to wiener for
mayor.org or whatever it is. Because you see, Uma, his wife
sitting next to him on the stoop as he's saying, whatever he's
bullcrapping spouting. And you see her look in the camera, but
for a second her eyes flash off to the right.
You know, watching the video now is the very end the very he's
got the little baby straw. No, no, no, no, no.
Go to the end, go to the very end. And watch where they're
sitting on the stoop the front stoop and he's saying hey, you
know, I messed up. I know, but I want to be good mare. And she
says something but she her eyes dart off to the right for a
second telling me that she's that they're holding her at
gunpoint. Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch. Do you see
watching the very end,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He's standing
up and they're sitting down. You have to
close your eyes wiggle back and forth. Yeah,
no. But look at that close. He's like, it's a dart. Like, yeah,
it was a quick don't I say it right. Did I say it right that I
say it right to say it right. Anyway, so back. So of course,
he's powerful. wieners powerful, because he's Clinton's boy. And
the only thing he did wrong if you screwed it up, because well,
you know, my, my theory is Uma has been Hillary's lover for
many, many years. Right? And he's a beard and he's the beard
and the only reason that all he had to do was just keep his
penis in his pants, which arguably he kind of did, but not
mess up. And then he would you know, he was gone to greatness
and he was a congressman he went he was
set up to take Schumer's position in this totally,
he was totally set up. And again, I know the guy I met the
guy when he was a councilman. He's an insincere douchebag and
but here is Stephanie mill apologizing, and I don't care
what he tweets but he lied. Okay, the thing that is being
overlooked is he's a liar.
Did you buy that apology? Second Chance for Mr. Wiener? I guess
so. You know, Aaron, it seems to me he wasn't really he didn't
really do anything in terms of actual incivility. He was sort
of convicted of being in eighth grade. I don't know it just
seems to me like it's more of a guy thing than a partisan thing.
Middle School. I just think it's a guy thing. And people are
like, Well, alright, if his wife forgives him, I guess I do.
The guy that one of the guys said what middle school you go
to where that was okay. But the point is, he lied. I mean, have
we forgotten already? How he stood there and lied and he lied
to broth? Blitzer? Mind you? He didn't just lie to anybody. He
lied to broth. And he just lied and lied. And how can she be out
there apologizing for this? Because she's part of the scheme
she is and because of the power of the Clintons those people are
Wow, man, they're so powerful. And then I'm going to give you
an update on the war on printers. I think we've pretty
much established my theory is on the correct path. That this
whole weapons thing printing guns is bull crap. And it's
about the fear, the total fear that industry has of these 3d
printers and what what actually will come to bear and so you
know, of course we have to not take the system new test
markets. Let's take it to Australia where unfortunately,
you are following in our footsteps of becoming the
largest washed mashes of gelatin goo. And it started after the
y'all gave up guns there I think is when it started. That's one
and that was that was the the gun violence
is down Adam. Yeah.
And slavery is up. John
files police have warned the public against trying to
manufacture plastic guns using new 3d printers, or authorities
around the world are trying to stop downloadable blueprints of
handguns being distributed over the internet. But the online
plans have already been acquired by over 100,000 people.
Don't you love how the Internet brings us all of these news
reports. So now we know that some somewhere Cody Wilson just
threw out the number. Oh, it's been downloaded 100,000 times
that is now presented as
a meme now. Yeah. 100,000 just only number it's not 105,000 is
not 50,000 is not 200,000 it's always 100,000 which is just the
right number. Sounds good. And it's bullcrap. I mean, like I
think you said it first, which is that zip guns have been
around since the you know, they're better.
They don't explode. Right? And they're better. Yep. So anyway,
the police have done a press conference. Trump's two reports.
And Jon Stewart has some kind of gang down there.
It's called the liberator, a plastic gun made by a 3d
printer.
By the way, every single time you see them fire it, you see it
exploding. You see, every every version of this gun has exploded
upon printing and testing except for the one that Cody Wilson
fired.
3d printers cost under $1,500 and work by spraying down layer
upon layer of plastic to form an object. Plans of the objects can
be downloaded over the internet. The model of this handgun has
been obtained by more than 100,000 people around the world.
It's so obvious
with and cost us approximately $35 This is the cop speaking to
make pretty high we made that on a base entry level 3d printer.
The New South Wales Police today warned the public against making
or using plastic guns.
Make no mistake about it not only are these things
undetectable, untraceable, cheap and easy to make, but they will
kill no man
penetrated approximately
17 centimeters.
Wow that guy's got a huge one until the gelatin
block which is about six and a quarter inches. And that would
have been a fatal wound if it was pointed at someone
still pulling that thing in me feet the police have received
information that plastic bullets can also be made by 3d printers.
Oh, this
is new information.
How do you get the gunpowder inside lasting bullets?
I have some gunpowder
and say that making or using a plastic gun in Australia is
illegal.
If you are thinking about even considering making one of those
weapons you need to understand that not only are they illegal,
but they are enormously dangerous.
I love that if you're thinking about even considering it. This
isn't this is new
thinking about considering Yeah, this is new or thinking about
considering
this is what we call before it's crap. It's pre crime. The police
have received information that plastic bullets can also be made
by 3d printers. And say that making or using a plastic gun in
Australia is illegal.
If you are thinking about even considering making one of those
weapons you need to understand that not only are they illegal,
but they are enormously dangerous.
I heard him say thinking about considering the Liberator
is only a single shot handgun. But the plastic guns are
difficult to detect.
That shot you heard was another video of Cody Wilson firing
perfectly
and it becoming a threat to airport security. Authorities
are concerned concern that gun owners may modified bigger
weapons making firearms fully automatic by printing their own
gun parts. Homemade plastic landmines or grenades may also
become a security problem
of all the things I would want to print. It's just why are we
this Yeah, I guess we are Yeah, we were this stupid
as 3d printers begin to simplify weapons production
can you not put some fibers in there and just print money
I would think there's a better use of your time
to think just get a fiber spinner or something of spinning
printer or whatever.
You can actually do that with regular printers pretty easily
if your problem isn't well mentioned as to anybody out
there is counterfeit using a good printer is that every
printer has a code Yep, track that is printed on every sheet
of paper that's printed by that printer. Yep. And those codes
everyone knows you know there you can't see them but the codes
there and that can track your printer down and track you down
and find the guy who made these phony hundreds and if
not, that is going to be your your Xbox One Connect system
that will rat on you.
Yeah, somebody will rat on you. So you're not gonna get away
with I don't even have you seen that thing? Just let not yet I
did looks like a It's not that fancy logo, by the way should
let Bernanke do the printing. Yeah, he's
good at it. Now this x Xbox One with the Kinect system. So you
just like Google Glass you say x box on and then it'll go green,
blue, blue, blue blue.
Yeah, I know this is suspicious.
In other words, it's listening on. It's listening all the time.
Yeah. Hey, by the way, so I was looking at our calendars. Oh,
want to get this out of the way? Oh, I was. I was looking at our
calendars. And I noticed that this six week cycle. Oh, is it
time? Well, no, we had it. We had the oldest the incidents
that took place, including the FBI shooting that guy. Well,
that was part of the cycle that began with the Boston thing. So
the next six weeks coming from this most recent little low
episodes turns out to be the July 4 week I was putting in the
book that we're going to have an episode because we haven't had
for example, we haven't had a bomb on July 4 Since
independence day with Will Smith. Well, first of all, it
has to be an IED. It could be what are the 90s in the news. So
we need to do an IEP so we're gonna have to have IEDs in the
United States of America and what's gonna happen on the
Independence Day?

they're put to make a note so we can clip this if it actually
happens on the fourth
damn MC anything coming
yeah, there's nothing on the fourth that's weird huh?
Okay, well that doesn't feel too great.
No
I had a couple if you want I just had a I can I can we do the
emails on Thursday if you want I got a couple emails to read
maybe it's better if we do that on Thursday
yeah once you do on a Thursday
okay, as long as we don't get like some huge thing that
because cuz I like reading the emails but then we get some huge
event
is always an event.
Really is isn't that. Anyway, I just got one clip here. This is
This is Chris Christie. Being badgered by Matt Lauer, the guy
who auditioned for VH. One about if if Superstorm Sandy, if that
wasn't, you know, because of climate change. I got some
respect for the dude this week
who said you don't think there has been any proof thus far that
Sandy was caused by climate change? Several experts I've
heard from say the destruction, though, from Sandy was probably
more severe because of elements of climate change, inclusive,
including rising sea levels. Are you not willing to say that? No,
I'm
not because what did they say? First of all, they this is their
business. They study it. And they say, probably me, I said
was I'm not showing any definitive proof yet that that's
what caused it. And this is just listen, this is distraction.
I've got a place to rebuild here. If people want to talk to
me about esoteric theories, we got plenty of time to do that
later on and study that. And let me be more informed about it.
But no, I'm not going to buy things, you know, at a whole
cloth about I'm just not going to especially when they won't
definitively say anything, and it's their business.
Let them happen. Yeah. Sorry. I asked.
Matt Lauer like this, not what you're supposed to say. Is not
fair. It wasn't okay to say could you can you see it?
Couldn't you fat?
Chris Christie is is a pretty quick on his feet guy that is
going to be a great politician in that regard. Yeah. And he's
not going to be the easiest guy in the world to you know, it's
going to be Christie versus Rand Paul, versus the guy in Florida.
What's his name? Jeff Jebediah. Oh, now he's not gonna get in
room. You know, the guy that Rubio, the Cuban guy, Rubio.
Rubio, yeah, Rubio, those three are gonna be the lead
candidates.
You don't think Jeb is gonna go at all? No, no,
I don't think so. I mean, unless there's unless something falls
apart and he can move in at the last minute. I did have a clip.
I should have put it on the New Jersey
heights New Jerseyans. They do not like Chris Christie. In
general, but of course, these are the Obama bot friends that I
have.
Yeah, they don't no, no. No. So I mean, how does he keep getting
reelected? Now they hate him. Now. You got him in again.
I think Christie would be pretty interesting. Christie is
the is the fast talker. And he can use his you can you can
throw his weight around.
Oh, no.
So he but he has the pasta, you know, the he's, he would be good
in the debates because he's he's the closest to telling it like
it is guy that the public likes. And in all of his.
Your right. And I think we need, you know, knowing how to
straight
talk to some guy who's being told what to say. Yeah,
yeah, I agree. I agree that all wishy washy. Yeah, it's true.
But you know, it's gonna be four more years and oh, 334,
whatever, nine 100. Whatever. The question, the Republicans
are trying to marginalize Christie to get him out of the
race or trying to keep the Rand Paul's looks like their guy.
Really? Yeah. I know. It's horrible. But I think Christie
can get in and he's more. He's, he's just a better candidate.
He's got the right attitude about things. And he's in he's a
straight shooter. He's not doing the checklist thing. And he
likes meat. Apparently likes meat. And a lot of starch do I
would guess.
So are you on twit today?
Oh, it's a holiday. They don't do the show. Unlike us. Oh, they
don't even have a show on holidays. They tend not to do a
show on a holiday. They run a rerun. Usually really?
How lame is that? Well, that's That's lame.
What am I gonna do? My understanding? I just have been
invited an entire month.
Nick Rath is not happy with Chris Christie. Well, I'm sure
Nick is from New York and New Jersey. I'm telling you. Yeah,
obviously he's a GIS in with a Goldman Sachs guys. I mean, come
on. Like we all know this. We're not we're not we're not
promoting a candidate here. What is wrong with you people? People
actually think that we are John I'm sorry that you have to
understand when we talk like this, you know, like
professionals and like, Who's Who's the better candidate? You
know, we're talking like producers, not as people who
care about what happens to the country.
Oh, well, yeah. When the guy gets in who knows who's really
running things? Yeah.
Exactly. Exactly. Ah, well, so I'll be configuring my PSK male
then. Perfect. Good. Yes, my PSK male network and it'll be kind
of elegant, kind of sad because Mickey is off to the airport.
She's going to get mo lowlands she He's got a huge gallery
show, which we're all very excited about. And so she'll be
gone for 10 days. So your bed is ready, John.
Great. I'll be right over. I'll not like
if you were a pal, you would come over and hang out, but
yeah,
yeah. Well, it would ruin the show.
Um, well, we wouldn't have to do the show here. Just come for a
couple days and cook with me.
Like good. Yeah, but you want to see what I got for frequent
flyer miles. Nevermind.
I'll just have Nick the ride over.
Okay, well have a great Memorial Day weekend, everybody. Remember
to be thankful for the war machine that we are. That is if
you're an American. If you're in the lowlands itself, you have
this is cool. The Dutch Air Force is now from now on to be
under control of the German air force. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah.
They can't afford it anymore. So I hear you Germans you just run
the show. This is not history shows. This may not be a good
idea. But okay, up to you. It's the Brussels way everybody.
Coming to you from the Travis heights hideout, where with near
certainty, it is always feasible to capture me. I'm Adam curry.
