is all a great idea. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, September 8 2013. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 546.
This is no agenda
with a whole new meaning for PGT tips here the traverse high tide
out in the capital the drone Star State Austin J Haas in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where there are new sources of
news. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill. Yeah, there we go. We are we are connected somehow. To
10.
You tagged it right.
What do you mean? I tagged it right.
When I finished my little ditty that you hit the stinger. Yeah.
For those of you wondering, we are trying a mumble today, which
is the open source product. So nice of everyone to respond,
trying to help us out with our our connectivity woes. We have
spent countless hours over the past two days working on every
possible version of what we think the problem could be, or a
solution. And for every email we've received, no two alike.
Every ever talking about 100.
I mean, everybody's an expert, that's for sure.
You know, if you turn the microphone and you see you give
it a small turn to the left, don't get a better response.
It's your microphone needs to be turned in. It needs to be
pivoted
it's just like wow. But we've gotten all the way down to guys
who work at cable at cable companies and are talking about
the temperature of the coax outside. And I actually buy that
I I'm buying that this you know, and thermos stores are broken is
all kinds of things that can be wrong. But I think we've pretty
much ruled out that it is that it is really anything within our
control because we've tried VPNs different machines, different
devices, different microphones, different microphones. Now of
course, whatever is going on, it affects Skype more than it
affects mumble. So we've been just, you know, just decided to
use mumble which has its own little interesting quirks.
Yes, it's not very good as a product.
For instance, all of a sudden, I'll make a joke and then
sometime tomorrow, John won't get to the punch line. Just the
latency builds up for some reason.
Exactly. Yeah. Okay, so we there's a lot of news that
happened. Indeed, I think the funniest piece of news was and
by the way, this is interesting because JC works in the high
tech community as one of the coders or one of these startups
Yeah. And he went over there and said you know, the the NSA has
this they've got the all encryption codes there's no such
thing the banking community everybody else is up in arms
about the fact that they they can get anything they want any
financial data or whatever, and it gets nobody else in the whole
community knows about
and I'm not a security expert by any means. But it seems to me
that even if you just look at where certificates come from, if
you have access to the root certificate and it's been
rumored that these things have been you know, hacked stolen
whatever long ago years ago, it's done it's not that hard you
don't even really need to do any hard work
compromised
it's just I would believe that that's at the core that it's all
compromised sure it's funny though to see people going oh,
what now?
Now Yeah,
well what now? Yeah, okay are we have we built up a delay already
we built up our our latency
well, actually buzzkill Jr came up with an idea that I think we
should we should get put a little team together the buffer
Yeah,
I think we should restart it right now.
Well, that's easily solved let me just reconnect myself so you
fall under
was gonna hang back and I got back before you did. Yes,
you did. Well, I have to walk across the room because I set up
a whole new machine for this. Okay. So tell me what buzzkill
Junior's idea was.
Well, the NSA was always the go to people to verify and
encryption schemes. You they would be certified the
certifiers, right So you develop an encryption scheme now you've
now we can trust them. So you start your own company with a
bunch of experts to certify encryption schemes that make
sure there's no backdoors and stuff in them. And then you then
once you get going, and you get big, you sell right to the NSA.
I mean, there's easy turnover company here.
Once again, another great idea we will not implement for
ourselves.
Right? Is this a good idea?
Yeah, it's that you wrote you actually, you wrote a column and
a couple of things about this column one, it's an outstanding
product to it so much better than what you write for PC mag.
This is for the one the new domain is that what is a new
domain.net
a new domain.net So
on the stuff you make no money on is where your best work comes
from.
as witnessed by this show, yeah, exactly.
And and you kind of pull the pull the crackpot there you went
into, you actually saw something in the documents, which was
overlooked by I think, all four of the publications who are
complicit in this scheme, which now includes pro publica, which
for some reason pro publica gets a pass. Have you noticed this?
No, I didn't not. You mentioned it though.
Well, pro publica is like, Oh, well, this is a nonprofit news
organization. Oh, really? Okay, could you stop messing with your
mic, you're moving the mic or something, you're doing a lot. I
just closed
the window. Okay. So pro publica,
they were now added to this mix, I guess to somehow to make it to
make the story more credible, which to me immediately makes it
less credible. Very interesting. If you look at their if you look
at this story on their web page, and even says, this story does
not adhere to our typical
crap guidelines. The know the standards of ethics know
the the copyright their typical Creative Commons copyright. Oh,
so you can't you can't take it from their page like you
normally can under the Creative Commons, which I think is share
like attribution. Right? Because, you know, it's all
these all these, all these bronies are involved. But if you
really look into this, this outfit, who have who get $10
million a year to run their newsroom, their nonprofit
newsroom. This is from the Sandler Foundation. And the
Sandler Foundation was Herbert and was herb and his wife was
his wife, Marian, who founded Golden West Financial
Corporation. And of course, that later became Wachovia. Small,
small, small little outfit there, that thing had some
problems in the financial crisis. And so they they sold it
for $2.6 billion. And they they promised that they would make
$1.3 billion available to the Sandler foundation. Let's see.
See, for what is it to fighting predatory mortgage lending?
Which is funny. Like the asthma foundation and fighting
corruption, and then and then you look at this pro publica
outfit. Look at the board of advisors. I mean, why not just
call it mainstream media? I mean, this is what they've got
on as directors of there. Obviously, Paul Steiger. He's
the executive chairman. He comes from the Wall Street Journal.
And then of course, we have the that I think, by the way that
the found the guy who's funding it should not be on the on the
board, but okay, Herbert Sandler's on the board. Then
we've got a guy from Warburg Pincus, Mark colony, Henry Louis
Gates, Jr. You go down the line, there's, you know, top lawyers,
top venture capitalist guys and then on the we have Jill
Abramson. She's from the New York Times, David Boardman from
the Seattle Times. It's just a whole bunch of douchebags who
were all over the mainstream media and they hang out in this
little club, I guess. And, and I think they misused the
ProPublica in this case, trying to make it all look legit or
something. Ah.
Well, something's up with that story.
Yeah, how about it's not true. How about it's just, uh, just
put out there. Um, to make us feel that, that, you know, we're
hopeless. There's nothing we can do.
Wow, really? Well, there isn't. start our own company to do
certification.
Yeah. This is not working out. John. We're talking three second
delay now. But between me saying something latency
problem is really? Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. It's like distinct
starts off. Okay. Right, right. Right. Right. I understand.
All right. So I don't I don't. Yeah, I don't think our own
company is the solution. Although this isn't this what
the IETF is talking about. Now there are as I read everywhere,
a panel of internet experts has no planning to do XYZ, including
Vint Cerf from Google.
Well, I think, well, if anybody's from Google, they're
compromised so that you can forget that. Yeah. I think the
real problem is the compromised, everyone's compromised. The
article I wrote essentially said, Congress has compromised
the Senate's compromise. Marco Rubio was compromised
external company just explained the article for a second just
the main crux because it was really brilliant, what you
found, and I'm
sure if you read through the documents that were revealed, by
Snowden the word describe the American public, the banking
system, and large corporations and everyone in between. They
were all called adversaries by the NSA. So apparently, the
American public is an adversary, when you look at the definition
of adversary, it's it's a simple definition, it means enemy. And
so they have redefined American public as the enemy and thus
they might as well just tap everybody because they really
are the enemy according to the the way the NSA thinks in
confidential documents. Apparently, we're the enemy. And
so I went off on a rant about that, oh, now, and I didn't
blame the NSA. They're just taking advantage of the
situation. I blamed these congressional oversight
committees in the Senate and the House, and they got a bunch of
creepy douchebags and they're like Rubens Berger, that guy and
Mike Rogers and some of these other guys and you hear him
apologizing and wanting to head of Snowden now I know why.
So here's the here's the beauty of what you found in the
document, according to the Guardian, which of course, is
supposedly handed to us by by Snowden. These design changes
make the system in question exploitable through Signet SIG
int collection, with foreknowledge of the
modification to the consumer and other adversaries. That was the
key, not just adversaries, but and other adversaries,
right, when using the word other, included consumers,
because it was an it's an inclusive word. If it had said
the consumers and adversaries then they would have, then I
wouldn't have gone off the deep end. But they said the consumers
like you and the other gays.
Yes. Oh, I'm sorry. You have my attention and someone to call
that would be indicating that you're gay. Right, exactly what
they think so there was no the consumers the public, it was our
adversaries. This isn't right. No.
Now do you think it's it's actually true.
They're cavalier about spying on the American public and
collecting all our phone numbers, emails and everything
in between. They don't care. They do it with impunity. They
use that word fooling around. And it's just like, it seems
like a no brainer. So yeah, I think it is true. And I think
you have to be called to task on this.
Right? Everything you read, though, because I, what I like
doing is I'll go to the Guardian, I'll go to the New
York Times the post and pro publica, the nonprofit
independent news organization, funded by bankers. I might point
out, and I'll read the comments. And here's the sad thing. All I
read is, well, it's kind of like the show where, you know,
there's 80% is like, here's how you do it. You get to VPN, and
you double encrypt backward flip that in through the Tor Browser
and the onion router. But people are missing the point and I
think this is the point of your article is we have to impeach
everybody can you can we impeach all these
at least effort? No, no, you can't impeach us. You guys vote
them out? They're not impeachable?
Can we kill them?
Well, you can't do that either. Because that's illegal. Oh,
damn. Okay.
We can't do that off where their heads is, what is what I want to
say?
Well, head on a stick. I mean, yeah, that's also not not
kosher. You just have to vote him out. But people, the idiots
that voted them in are very reluctant to vote them out.
Because Oh, well, he's our guy. You know, it's just it's the
incumbent thing is is the worst phenomenon we have in this
country.
Right. But then but this is the opportunity to do this is
November 2014. Yeah, okay. So essentially, we have a year and
a lot can happen in a year because people will forget.
Yeah, and finally they will you have to remind them constant li
In fact,
I think most people haven't even noticed this. They're too busy
with with Syria.
Right Syria is yet getting a lot of attention. Yeah. So once you
start us off at the clip, well, I go get my list of clips.
Okay. Do you have something specifically?
I have a bunch of clips that are kind of interesting. Let me
well, I get the list. Of course you
just want me to play something on my own and just share it with
the group while you're not here.
Well, now that you mentioned, I do have some flips. No, I'll
tell you what, I will play something here from Al Jazeera
America. Ah, which is
I got a lot of clips from Al Jazeera America is Joe is
getting better. The production values are still off a little
bit, but it's better and they got the cutest guy or the maybe
the prettiest. And kind of she's slightly voluptuous, Bond
WEATHER GIRL.
Oh, have you seen her? No, not? Oh, haven't seen her haven't
seen her? No.
Clear. It's a clear choice by the curry divorce.
Really? Well, let me let me play this little. I split up into two
parts. I thought there was something interesting about
this, about the NSA cracking all encryption messaging that they
were of course, I'll just say America and as most news
organizations is one way or the other psychological warfare on
the viewers and propaganda at best, the US
Cyber spy agency has cracked many of the codes that are meant
to keep sensitive internet communications private,
according to new documents released by former National
Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, which
is patently not true because they were not released by him.
They were parts of it were published by newspapers. We
don't even know if they actually got it from him. And they were
shown to officials and they were redacted. So when you know this
is this is a really this is WikiLeaks all over again.
The NSA has invested billions of dollars in custom designed
superfast computers to break encrypted communications,
including banking transactions, consumer e commerce, corporate
trade secrets, medical records, and other ostensibly
confidential information. Now
this is I heard this I'm like, hold on a second. Where are they
taking this report?
The documents also show the agency secretly persuaded or
legally forced technology companies to provide it with the
keys to their encryption programs. So
here they're saying that they may have basically been in
cahoots with with companies now we kind of know that or have
already suspected that. But now we have another one of these
nonprofits funded by dubious sources in my book, who all of a
sudden comes into the story.
The British agency reported it had developed what it called
excess opportunities to Google's encrypted traffic. There are
over 400 million users of Gmail. Other companies targeted by
codebreakers include Yahoo, Facebook and Microsoft's
Hotmail. The documents collected by Snowden have been shared with
the New York Times The Guardian and the nonprofit news
organization pro publica. The revelations coincide with a new
poll released by the Pew Research Organization.
Oh, wait a minute. They coincided. I think
showing half of Americans are worried about the information
available about them online.
Oh, wait a minute. We're going to spin this a little
differently. John. You feel what's coming.
I'm just listening. It sounds good. So far. Here
is the Pew Research Center report that coincidentally came
out with this revelation, anonymity, privacy and security
online. Despite their precautions, 21% of online
adults have had an email or social media account hijacked
and 11% have had vital information like social security
numbers, bank account data or credit card stolen and growing
numbers worry about the amount of personal information about
them. That is available online. This report is not saying hey,
we want to be anonymous. No, no. This report in fact, I will read
to you what they what they are reporting is about keeping your
information safe from hackers. This is part of the big cyber
scam that the government has been trying to pull on us. And
here's the it right here at the top of this report. I checked
email social media accounts stolen information social
security numbers, credit card information. 21% of Internet
users have had an email or social networking account
compromised or taken over by someone else without permission.
13% of Internet users have experienced trouble in a
relationship between them and a family member or friend because
of something that user posted online. 12% of Internet users
have been stalked To harassed online 11% of had important
information stolen 6% had been victim of an online scam or lost
money 6% had the reputation damaged 4% had been led into
physical danger 1% have lost a job opportunity, or educational
opportunity because of something someone had posted online. Now,
if you go down into the report, users are trying to avoid the
following. And it's beautiful right there at the top hackers
or criminals 33 33% The magic number. Advertisers, that's the
number two that we're trying to avoid online. 28% why how that
fits into the security report is interesting.
Yeah, what do you think? What do you make of that? That's kind of
interesting. Well,
19% number three, given us enough money, certain friends
19% number for shared place three and four people from your
past, it goes down to 70% for people who might criticize you
14% for family members or romantic partner 11% for an
employer and way down at the bottom, John, the bottom two
users are trying to avoid with a whopping 5% The government and a
whopping 4% law enforcement. So we're all of you those.
Okay, I would give you a clip of the day but there's no clip
here. But the this is a Yeah, yeah, I think you're onto
something here. Here it is page 15 users. We don't care about
the police.
No new users do not think current laws provide enough
protections, asked whether the think current privacy laws
provide reasonable protections for people's privacy on their
online activities. Which of course is all about hackers and
losing your identity and advertisers but not about the
government is 66% 24% said they provide reasonable protection.
So what this is about is bringing in new laws to protect
you, you say we need to protect your privacy,
right? Does the various consumer protection, yeah, internet, send
these sorts of things that have been promoted by the NSA? In
fact, if you look at the House Committee on Intelligence
oversight, the one that was Mike Rogers, right on that front page
of that committee is a bunch of promotion for sis spa. Oh, of
course, it's
time to bring that back, isn't it?
Yeah. So they want you know, they it's all part of a grand
scheme to subjugate the public to government scrutiny on a 24
hour basis.
And I think it'll probably go something like this. Well, look,
you know, it was so easy, ultimately, for us. Just little
old us little NSA, you've barely heard of, yeah, we were in a
movie once, you know, like the enemy of the state. But that was
years ago. It was pretty easy for us to crack everything.
Don't you want us to protect you? So just can't be done by
other rogue governments or hackers from China? Don't you
want us to protect you? A know what's gonna happen? Everyone's
gonna go?
Yo, exactly. They are. Yeah, let's do that. Yeah, well,
that's because we've, we've dumbed down the public with bad
education and everything for the last, what, 30 years, 40 years,
50 years, maybe with just crap, you know, that's, you know, it's
not be competitive as gay hug each other. Your self esteem,
you all know, you're gonna hurt her feelings. All this stuff.
This is no education whatsoever. Just a lot of feel good stuff.
And now this is the result. You've got you got it public.
And I think those numbers are probably right, they could
probably I'm sure they're confirmable 5%. And even less,
think that the police are any sort of a problem. Despite that
they we've militarized the police completely. Most
municipalities of any size have an unnecessary SWAT team. They
have military gear, they look like the military. And nobody
cares about that, because they're worried about some hack
comes from China. And this is nonsense when it when all the
evidence, all the hacking that takes place worldwide, pretends
to be from us. We're the hackers, we're naturally hackers
and the government's a hacker.
And what's interesting, of course, is the coincidental
release of this report. And let me tell you, it's not like, you
know, the Pew Research Center went Oh, wow, cheat. We just
finalized this report. And we just happen to release it at
this very moment. This is not how things get released into the
wild. This is not how it works. This is a coordinated effort,
which to me immediately diminishes any credibility pew
had. Oh, by the way, on Friday system, yeah. Friday night, Miss
Mickey was out. And I was at home. And I watched by
recommendation from one of our producers, the President's
analyst. Oh, yeah. There was a James Coburn movie James Coburn.
Yeah. Okay, first of all, Everybody do not watch this
movie. Because if you will, it will hurt you unless you are
really into 1970s Americana, bad acting bad quality, bad
everything. But the premise of the movie, which I will I will
spoil it for you right here. James Coburn is a psychiatrist,
he becomes the the president psychiatrist because the
President needs to unload from time to time. And right at the
end, this is 1969 or 70, when this movie is, was produced,
they have the CIA and the FBI, but except they call them the
CEA and the FBR. In the movie, they are at war with each other.
And the FBR doesn't really want, you know, this doesn't want the
psychiatrists at all. And the CEA, you know, they're the ones
who really want the psychiatrists and then the FBR
wants to kill them. And then the CEA wants to kill them. And then
of course, there's all these spies, the Chinese, the
Russians, the Indians, everyone's trying to get this
guy to get the information out of his head. And it turns out
that there really is one overarching agency that has all
the information and has a bunch of bots running the whole
outfit. And that and they, and they have all the guns, and they
and they ultimately run the country. And that is the phone
company.
Yeah, I remember that now. Yeah.
It's hilarious. It is kind of funny when you see the movie,
but you don't have to see the movie to understand the premise
and, and that it's, it was kind of way ahead of its time. makes
so much sense.
Yeah, it was trying to run the country. Let's face it. Only
companies got as good a shot at it as any they could. They may
be calling the shots of the NSA, for all we know, not the other
way around. Absolutely. Maybe that's why they got the moats
and stuff over at the headquarters because their own
company. Anyway, okay, so we get a more on this NSA thing?
I'm not I think that's kind of it. Well, it does come back in
my in my continuing analysis of Syria and the T tip, but I want
to save that for a second. And first, I want to congratulate
you, John. Today is of course National Day of Prayer and
remembrance. Okay. By presidential proclamation, and
yesterday. I'm sorry, we missed it yesterday by Presidential
Proclamation was national Grandparents Day.
Oh, that's nice.
And it shall be get a card. Actually. I'm sorry. It's today
September 8, two days.
Oh, and we got our donations are down. So I mean, what sense does
is make what good is it do
not much and also, I want to say hi to to our producers in
Australia who have a new prime minister. Yeah. And guy well, it
should be interesting. This is Tony Abbott. He is the
conservatives. The Conservatives party and I believe that Clive
Palmer the big mouth that he I think he got a seat.
Oh, that's good. Yeah. So we should be able to get material
for from Australia on an occasional basis because of him
think
I would kind of be like the Faraj down under is what we're
gonna Yeah. I'm excited about that. Good. And in the morning
to John C. Dvorak
and in in the morning to you and in the morning to all the
Aussies out. And we hope that you will be sending us to Clive
Palmer stuff also in the morning to the boots on the ground, feet
in the air and the subs in the water the Dames and nights out
there.
Yeah, so I also want to thank the artists. Let's see who did
our art for the previous episode. Thorin helped us out
for episode 545. And we'll be choosing art from the no agenda
Art Generator, no janardhana.com 4546 A little bit
later on today after
and we're going to request all of our artists do us a Christmas
card. Art, which we're going to choose one from and use it for a
special purpose. Okay, the artists so
but that's not it won't be used for today we have a special page
for that or this sounds like this. Oh no,
here's what I'm doing shooting off.
I don't think we've produced this properly
yet. No, I agree. I am just shooting off because I keep
forgetting to talk to you about this project, which is Project
X, you
should have brought it up in the meeting.
I wish we're too busy trying to make mumble work. So it's just I
just got to get this done in advance. So if we can kill the
project, I don't care but need it has to be emailed in because
it cannot be of the square format that we use on the on the
art generator. The generator just won't take it. So it'd be
nice if the art generate has some more versatility so we just
put anything in there but it's what it is and that's what it's
for. So we'll just just throw it out there. So
what are the words I don't understand are people uploading
this to the Art Generator or not?
No they can't because art generates Alright, let's
do this. You Hey, we didn't say anything about the Christmas
album art or Christmas art or Christmas card art. We have no
way to handle this yet.
Just send it to me John Tavares. Good and put in a subject line
Christmas art in all caps. Yes. And
if you send it to me, I will not open it. I will delete it.
He will. In fact, he doesn't. Barely reads his email now.
Yeah. Okay. Well, let's thank a few producers and we'll talk
about this other project later.
Could you do me a favor? Yeah. Okay. Let's do this shortlist
today.
Yeah, this is funny. Dame Cathy and Sir Greg is Cemani which
gave us 546 Yeah, they're West Chicago and they have a note
which I left on the other desk. Hold on.
Okay. We will hold one second. While John gets i didn't i He
has room for two desks. That's interesting by itself.
All right. Anyway, Dame Kathy writes, as promised, we are
donating by cheque screw Pay Pal and visa. shows have been great
lately sir Greg and I are co sponsoring show 546 With this
donation as we did with 513 We'll wait to get double
knighted knighthoods together and become Baronet and Baron
Netis is that right? Yeah, thanks for all you do. A good
climate gate karma is always welcome.
Okay, I got some Climategate karma for you. Let me see Here
we go to the gate to the to the claimant. Karma. All right.
Thank you so much. And together, you will be the sole members of
the 546 Club. We're episode 546 of the no agenda show
and of coming in as an Associate Executive producer from Tygart,
Oregon, Duke, sir Duane Melanson, Duke of the mystery
and the Pacific Northwest of some region Oregon. Sends a note
in the morning gentlemen and be mailing a special donation next
week, but due to the light donations lately, I felt
compelled to send this it's a bag of deuces. It's a bag of
deuces tu tu tu? tu tu those bags? Gotcha. That's
interesting.
That's a good one. I like that about this
old bag of deuces to urge all the douchebags who aren't
donating to pony up? And finally Daniel kartha who I don't have a
note from for to 1133 from Littleton, Oregon, he might be
in the email. To take one quick look, since we apparently have
more than enough time to do this. I have a problem. I keep
putting the keyboard on the floor. Really? Well, I lean it
up again. Are you on the chaise lounge again? You are aren't you
know I'm sitting in my regular chair. First donation. Daniel
Carter writes in first donation. I just sent him my first
donation. I've not been listening long, but your show
certainly seems like the best podcast in the universe. I'll
try and get my knighthood by my birthday next July. Keep up the
great work.
Oh, thank you very much. And well I guess the 211 33 is just
magic numbers right there. So that makes sense.
Yeah. And that will be our associate producers and
executive producers. Executive producers for show 546 547
coming up. We hope to get some
Yeah, we hope to do a little bit better on the producer ships. I
think particularly when you see what we've been doing. What kind
of analysis we have for you today in the PR world. I do want
to mention that echolink node 3373 is still open and available
for for all no agenda hams. I check in there. It kind of died
off when? When I remember when we got exiled to to Amsterdam
for six weeks. And the whole thing just kind of collapsed but
I'm still on it and other people still on. It's not just American
hams. It's hams everywhere. The no agenda, hams echolink no
3373. Now here's the two new entries in the urban dictionary
attributed to the no agenda show. It always takes a little
while but one of our Hushmail producers, which means he's
extremely anonymous, has entered the Berkeley Hummer into the
urban dictionary.
Yes, I saw this this is great.
Berkeley Hummer a person often have a leaders persuasion, often
women God who maximizes the duration of words while

person who speaks at least 14 Arms per minute where US are

it's and this is the Urban Dictionary, we are very happy
with that. Thank you very much to our Hushmail producer, and
thank you, Executive Producer, Associate Executive producers
and executive producers. We've got Daniel Carter, sir Duane
Mendelssohn. And of course Dame Kathy and Sir Greg soon to be
Baronets. Thank you very much. We highly appreciate it.
Everybody else, be careful, that bag of deuces could be flying
your way if you don't help us out to vote.org/n. A. And of
course, we always appreciate when anyone goes out there and
propagates the formula. Our formula is this. We go out, we
hit people in the mouth.
And I also do need to say in the morning to the chat room, and
the human resources there. And oh, John, did you see that we
had a little red book action going on yesterday? No. But
yeah, I'm sure you must have seen this was everyone was
tweeting it. Vice President Joe Biden made it clear Friday how
he feels about departing Homeland Security Secretary
Janet leucaena Positano. I think jantan. Apollo would should be
on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Yes. And other no agenda prediction come true.
Well, I hate to point this out, but it is mine no agenda
prediction?
Well, okay, you can take credit for I do, even though it's the
discussions between the two of us, I think, generate the
Yeah, I think that if you actually went back on this one,
you kept saying, No, she's going to recruit spies at Berkeley.
And I kept saying he is going to do that. Okay. All right. I
won't take it all
out. So in other words, what you're, you're claiming this is
a single one sided prediction, because I was in the out because
I said, No, you're in? Well, yeah. Well, here's the deal.
Here's the deal. Okay. Just because Joe Biden says he wants
her in there doesn't mean she's gonna get in there. So I'll
stick with that. She's not gonna be the supreme court justice.
Okay. You're doubling down on the doubling down. She's gonna
be recruiting spies from Berkeley. That's what you do.
doubling down on the Red Book. Nice. Nice
on my side of the argument.
Right. So I've been Do you want to talk about Syria and Yeah,
not
too many clips on Syria. We should get him out of the way.
All right. Can I just say one thing right off the bat? Because
this watermelon head this guy is is amazing. He is going all out.
Did you Did you see what he did what to carry did in in France?
Yeah.
Minister by masa shadow was the NFC beaucoup over
morning it calls jail.
Fabulous. Fabulous. First of all, Karis. French is good.
Yeah, it's a little flat, but it is better than mine. Yeah.
And I'm impressed. And I think that this is all part of the
John Kerry can beat Lucifer Clinton campaign. I really think
he's, I think he's gonna go for I think he's gonna try and stand
up and he's gonna Yes, look, he's really trying. He's, he's
putting that in the Red Book is a prediction by you. Yeah,
please do. i Well, I'm gonna agree with you that he might try
to run but he definitely will get nominated.
Well, I mean, he's, he's, he's tried to go before
and nominated for a loss. Let's just say that,
you know, he's a part of the team, that, that makes
everything happen. And we get our trade agreement. And all of
a sudden, you know, the economy of America. And it could, you
know, three years is tight three and a half years tight, but it
could, you could actually have some real recovery. If we don't
go through the, you know, if we don't have the October crash,
and he could get credited for it.
He's not gonna get credited for anything. So there's this writer
named beach beach of itch or something. He wrote a book
called a number of books. He's a God of MIT. He's out I'm sorry.
Westpoint is in the military. Lots of experience as an
analyst. I don't know. You know exactly where he sits in the
scheme of things. I'm thinking CIA because he's attacking the
administration in a certain kind of normal way. And his book has
been breach of trust. He was on this very interesting interview,
and I have a few clips of them. And it's kind of leads into my
serious stuff. He was on the Moyer show. But Moyer wouldn't
interview him and Moyers was on supposedly on vacation, and Phil
Donahue, really filled in. And to me it was because this guy is
so anti Obama and Obama policies. And just, I don't
think Moyers Bill Moyers, who's Obama bought to the max? I don't
think he could do it. I don't think to deal with it. Right? I
think he didn't want to deal with the reality of it. But I
have three or four clips, actually from this guy. They're
all very interesting. He's very entertaining talker. But let's
start since you mentioned, Kerry, with his commentary on
Kerry. Okay,
I have to say, I'm just struck by the fact that Secretary of
State Kerry has become the leading proponent for war.
That's our secretary of state's job,
he threw metals, he throws metals back. Well, that's why
it's
doubly ironic that the Secretary of State is the war promoter.
And that our Secretary of State happens to be a guy who came
into politics basically, advertising himself as the guy
who, because of his Vietnam experiences, understands war,
understands the lessons of Vietnam, and is therefore going
to prevent us from doing dumb things. On the contrary, he's,
he's he's the lead cheerleader.
Before you move on with baby, I just have to play this one. Did
you hear what he said yesterday, the carry this now, he just made
a comparison, which I just have to play for you for nearly 100
years.
So this is our Munich moment.
This is disgusting. And so when he says this is our Munich
moment, and this, by the way, is exactly the same thing. Except
they played it a little differently in Libya. I didn't
have enough time to it's very hard now on the search engines
to find anything with the name Obama or anybody in it before
yesterday. There's too much flak. It's way too much. The one
he says the Munich moment he is referring to the 1938 Munich
Pact. And this is the famous pact where Nazi Germany under
the under the auspices of Neville Chamberlain, under the
so called appeasement took over the border areas of
Czechoslovakia. And of course, this was the start, if you the
historians will say this was really the start of the Nazi
occupation of Europe, and that this is our Munich moment. In
other words, we cannot be Neville Chamberlain's, and this
is a direct slam, of course to to Cameron. Oh, yeah, for not
being able to join in the warmongering and he is hereby
also equating Assad to Hitler. And just it's the thing that
bothers me that was it. Exactly. If you recall, and of course, it
was several years ago, when when all this bull crap was going on
about Libya. The same thing? Well, I remember there was even
argument someone saying, Well, you sound like Neville
Chamberlain, and the appeasement policy. Do you remember that,
John?
I vaguely remember that. But it doesn't. I didn't stick with me.
I know. I
was I wouldn't look into the clips, but because I only heard
this this morning. I'll be able to find it. And it was Obama I
think he was talking about about appeasement. But you know, for
Kerry to be talking like this. I mean, that's that's a pretty big
balls that he's that he's waggling around now.
Yeah. For a piece for a piece, Nick. Yeah. So we start with the
debate you vich discusses bombing. It's the debates of the
John bomb being Syria. This is how he began his little
discussion with Phil Donahue. Okay.
Well, I mean, if I could have five minutes of the President's
time, I'd say, Mr. President, the issue really is not Syria. I
mean, you're being told that it's here, you're being told you
have to do something about Syria, that you have to make a
decision about Syria, that that somehow your credibility is on
the line. But I'd say Mr. President, that's not true. The
issue really here is whether or not an effort over the course of
several decades, dating back to the promulgation of the Carter
doctrine in 1980, an effort that extends over several decades to
employ American power, military power, overt, covert, military
power exercised through proxies, an effort to use military power
to somehow stabilize or fix or liberate or transform, the
greater Middle East hasn't worked. I mean, if you think
back to 1980, and just sort of tick off the number of military
enterprises that we have been engaged in that part of the
world large and small, you know, Beirut, Afghanistan, Iraq,
Yemen, Somalia, and on and on.
Are we awesome or what and asked you South, what
have we got done? What have we achieved? Is the region becoming
more stable? Is it becoming more democratic? Are we enhancing
America's standing in the eyes of the people of the Islamic
world? The answers are no, no and no. So why, Mr. President,
do you think that that that initiating yet another war
because if we bombed Syria, it's a war? Why do you think that
initiating yet another war in this protracted enterprise is
going to produce a different outcome? Wouldn't it be perhaps
wise to ask ourselves if this militarized approach to the
region, maybe as a fool's errand? Well, he's
the he's not really getting into it? He's, I mean, he's, I'm not
that impressed with what he said there. I liked his first quote,
but this is like,
Well, I'll tell you this, it, doesn't it i plays into my
thesis, which is that all we want to do is mess up the place.
Now, hold on, you're on board with my thesis. You
know, I think your thesis is correct, too. But I think the
basic thing and that your thesis came after we we've been messing
up the place a long time longer than done this little thing that
you've come up with? Yes, no, that
I'll agree that I think it is it is to the strategies advantage.
If everything in Northern Africa and the Middle East is just a
mess, it's even better if it's just a mess. Yeah, no, I
think we began that before, I am still on board with your thesis,
which you might want to reiterate, but essentially, is
that it's about you know, they've
got a whole bunch. We'll talk about that. Can
you Okay, well, before we go on with any more of this guy, he
did mention that the the attitudes that are, are getting
more and more common in the Middle East. Let me play a
couple of off the wall clips is the one the one I'm going to
explain is the real rationale for the delay. bombing. This is
a fighter from the opposition. And apparently and you know, as
well as I do, the Middle Easterners love to argue about
things, and they love to come up with these damn interesting
theories. And then apparently now, the opposition believes
that we've threatened to bomb Syria, but didn't do it. So
Syria could get their ducks in a row. And it's all part of a
great scheme and of the evil United States. Oh, good
International
Green. She knows the regime is weak, and military action will
give the rebels the chance to enter Damascus and takeover
strategic locations. That is why they delayed the strike. So as
they prepare the army to absorb the hits.
Oh, I see. Yeah. Well, you know what, I'll even buy that one. So
we delayed it so they could get ready. So it could be more of a
match. We could volley back and forth with it a little better.
Yeah. Oh, no, I'm so it wouldn't even surprise me, John, this
whole thing is one big massive theater.
It's great. So they started the new PBS weekend. Revenues are on
the weekend. Okay. Here's the first irony. The news hour is a
half hour.
I was just about to say yeah. Yeah, of course, just
for just for an intro, let's play the opening of that and get
it out of the way and so we can hear how it starts. And there
was two things that caught my eye in the opening besides all
the new sounding foundations and individuals who are supporting
this thing. They listed a named a bunch of them, then they
showed a bunch of them and didn't name them.
I got the same music. Everybody, welcome
this edition. Eight officials prepare for a new flood of
refugees from Syria. In our signature segment, Israel's huge
energy discovery change life there and throughout the region.
That's the equivalent of taking all the cars in Israel off the
road for over a year. So it's a big thing.
And why were Seattle police handing out bags of Doritos.
Next on PBS newshour weekend. Wow. Yes. NewsHour Weekend is
made possible by Louis B and Louise Hirschfeld Coleman, Judy
and Josh Weston. The Wallach family in memory of Miriam and
Ira de Wallach, the Cheryl and Philip Milstein family, Bernard
and Irene shorts. Rosalind P. Walter. corporate funding is
provided by Mutual of America, designing customized individual
and group retirement products. That's why we're your retirement
company. Additional support is provided by And by Corporation
for Public Broadcasting. And by contributions to your PBS
station from viewers like you. Thank you. Thank you, from such
WNET studios. So
who was who was on the screen but not mentioned.
Just a bunch of people I've never heard of, but but as I
say, have a fee schedule. So you get your name mentioned if you
give this much. If you don't give that much you get this
other list of names that we don't and we've refused to
mention your name. I could have said something but they didn't.
Do they have black and white logos and color logos as a no,
no, no. So they could do that, though. So anyways, on the show,
the show's got the same as they don't see it that much
difference, except this all features, right? There's no real
news. But going back to the the guy in the rebel saying that the
United States is a bunch of corrupt bastards for not
bombing, and then everyone's being bent out of shape about
one thing or another in the United Nations everywhere else.
This is the most interesting little tidbit I got is Margaret
Warner in Egypt. She's in Egypt has been in Egypt for a while
they've shipped her off. And she reports on the anti American
sentiment and such and such. Apparently it is this Obama is
the great leader that's going to bring us all together just
listen to this report of the United States, they support it.
Harry, I have talked to dozens of Egyptians in this past week,
I have not met one, not one who supports the idea of a strike
against Syria, despite their compassion for the people who
are who were gassed in the chemical weapons attack. They
all talk about Iraq, the fact that US intelligence was faulty,
and the fact that Iraq now has descended back into sectarian
strife and in fact, is exporting jihadi terrorists to Syria and
some they fear to Egypt. The other thing Hari is that this is
exacerbated here by the strongest strain of anti
Americanism I have ever felt. The Pro military ouster of Morsi
camp feels strongly that we that is the Obama administration
coddled President Morsi as he became more and more autocratic,
Morsi supporters, Muslim Brotherhood supporters went to a
rally yesterday, angrily say to me, why won't your president
called What happened a coup. And so what it's coming from both
sides, and that is definitely made itself felt on us. We've
been thrown out of restaurants we've had people refused to be
interviewed, because we're Americans, and our local
producer, called a traitor to Egypt, for working with us. So
there is not much of a feeling of connection right now between
average Egyptians and really anything the Americans do.
Okay, anti American thrown out of restaurants condemned. But I
like again, it's like they get that guy in Syria, both sides,
amis. So we can't get on either one of the sides because of the
mercy. The anti Morsi military guys say that we caught. It's
our fault. And then they Marcy guys say you won't call the
military coup A coup, which is we won't. And so they blame us.
It's just that we this is the worst, kind of we have our
foreign policy needs to be a massive disaster.
Either that or it's all part of the scheme, a scheme that just
doesn't make any difference. It doesn't matter one way or
the other. Yeah, we really don't care if MARGARET WARNER gets
thrown out.
I don't think we care. I don't think anything matters as long
as Egypt is just a mess. I think that's the wind John, that is
the wind, we need to keep the canal open the Suez Canal. So we
will keep sending the money so they can you know, there's a
we've got it all in place there. And otherwise, just keep it a
mess. i It is the best strategy. We know what we need to do. I
say we
the royal we, the royal we were I think,
let me get into this idea. Do you want to do part two of
Marmite? No,
no, we don't need this part two of which is good, though. But we
do I have to there's a couple clips in here. I still want to
get back to but go on. Did
I think you'll have stuff that'll that'll fit in? Okay.
Now, because I have done a lot of work on this T tip the the so
called transatlantic foreign trade agreement. We also have
one by the way that we're working on with Asia. And, and
it's very interesting. I've gotten a lot of people say hey,
it's very, very funny to see that the you know, we're reading
stuff about the Panama Canal the Panama Canal has to be widened.
Do you know why it has to be widened? John?
Yeah. For their for the Chinese ships, I believe or something? I
know it's for the liquid natural gas should Oh, right. Right.
Right. Right. It's for our our liquid natural gas.
I didn't make that. But I can see with your thesis that that
would make sense.
Of course. Now, you know, now that I have a hammer, everything
looks like a nail. But but
that's the other reason for the probably the eventual use of the
of the Keystone Pipeline, which descended back to send it other
places. Yeah. And it comes out of Texas. So you don't go to the
canal exam at all. You just go outside of Galveston and you're
on your way to Europe. So these tankers are huge and massive.
Yeah, so and they literally do not fit through the Panama
Canal. And this is people emailing me stuff in Brazilian
Portuguese, saying, Oh, wow, look what I read. You know, now
that I heard the thesis about this, it makes so much sense
they're trying to widen the Panama Canal. for LNG tanker, so
we can get this stuff over to Japan. And all of this fits
together. Because who just got the 2020? Olympics Tokyo? Guess
what you need when you have a Olympics? You need a lot of
power. You're going to be building stuff. You need a lot
of energy to do this. You know, and the choices were Turkey
Eastern bowl. And what was the max? It was in Mexico? No.
I think we promoted Chicago on this. It was no,
no, no, that was the that was the previous one. No, no, no.
But anyway, Tokyo was just awarded the 2020 Olympics. And
of course, that's exactly what you want. You want them to have
it. So by then we'll definitely be shipping them our natural
gas. Well, I'll
tell you this, the Japanese are going to be sorry, to you.
I had like the Greeks you mean, well, do you?
I wish I had a clip on the last show. We never use but some
discussion about these Olympics or what they cost? Do you know
what the what it cost the Greeks? They lost money on their
Olympics as most Olympics do? Yeah,
I think it was it was 10 or 15 billion or some crazy number. It
was a lot of money on a per capita basis per household. It
cost the Greeks $60,000 A household it was
Spain was the other the other country that was up Madrid. Oh,
no, no, we can't have that. Yeah. 60,000 per household. It
tanked Greece. It was part of the tanking of Greece.
Yeah. So let's take Greece by giving them their Olympics back.
Right.
So anyway, so it made sense to me when I said, Oh, it Tokyo,
you can have that great, you'll be using our natural gas. We're
going to tank we're going to tank Japan. Perfect. So now we
have we still so we have two things going on one, I have
gotten really deep into the tea, the tea tip as it's known TTIP,
the Trans Atlantic Trade Investment Partnership, and that
is what you have to be looking for T tip. And and I was able
to, you know, if you want to find something at the European
Union websites, good luck, that there are so many websites, and
then you have like the EPP group was were actually found a lot.
They're the People's Party that the biggest party in, in the EU.
And they have their own television network, and
everyone's got their own thing going on. It is impossible to
find anything. However, if you go to Twitter, and this was like
go What a revelation. And you do hashtag TTIP. This is where I
discovered that the G 20 was not the meeting. It was the Vilnius
meeting in Lithuania. Everybody was there. So Obama's running
cover at the G 20. talking, talking, I mean, the guy is so
off the radar. Here's an example of these kinds
of interventions. These kinds of actions are always unpopular,
because they seem distant and removed. And I want to make sure
I'm being clear. I'm not I'm not drawing a analogy.
I'm not drawing analogy. I'm not drawing an analogy or water. I'm
not drawing an analogy to World War Two,
other than to say, oh, when London was getting bombed, it
was profoundly unpopular.
Wait, isn't he drawing an analogy?
both in Congress and around the country to help the British.
Okay. Right.
So he, so he is off, he's completely out of his league
complaint and he knows what he's doing. He knows he all he has to
do is just get through this, because Carrie was in Vilnius.
So we've got the watermelon head there. We got the no chin
monster, Baroness van Ashton. She's there. And if you look as
you do, if you go to Twitter, and just in the search box, type
in hashtag TTIP all the elites are like, hashtag TTIP. Can't
wait to meet Kerry gonna have a good lunch with him. Hashtag
TTIP. Yeah, no,
I'm looking at it. Now. It's pretty, pretty global as
this is where Yeah, but this is where the meeting really was.
Why? I have the timeline now. So here is the timeline. So in this
kind of fits in the Snowden stuff as well, which is creepy
when you and again, I have a hammer now with this. And just
to revisit, the thinking here is that keeping nor that North
Africa, the Middle East in shambles, threatening with Syria
is all a tactic to get the free trade agreement between the
America and the European Union. So we can start shipping all of
our gas over which will essentially save the world
economy that is the thinking. So they had their first round in
June, and the second round isn't October and that's when it has
to be finalized. This explains okay, this explains exactly why
everyone's in such a hurry because we have new elections
for The EU coming up in May. So if we don't get it done in
October, then it won't happen. Because then you know, it'll be
we go through Christmas and everything. And then everyone's
ramping up and never within the middle of elections, and it
could be a whole new bunch of people sitting at the table, and
that will ruin it. So the idea is get it done in October, then
you have the EU the elections in May, then we have to get it
ratified before the midterm elections in November,
otherwise, it can get screwed up on our side. So this thing has
got to move, it's really got to go. Now, what's interesting
about this timeline, what happened around June, July,
around June, July, everything. And this is the first round of
the T tip talks, there was the talks were in jeopardy. The
reason was, all of a sudden, Snowden was in Russia. And word
comes out that the Americans were spying on the Germans on
the Brits, and everyone in Europe went Oh, really, you want
to be our transatlantic partners? We got to stop spying
on us. So I'm thinking that was a plant that was propaganda from
the Russian side to screw up. Yeah, the the, the, the the
negotiations? And it really starts to make sense when you
look at everything like this. Now,
no, I'm, uh, people out there should pay careful attention to
this thesis. Because when you start watching the news, it all
fits into the thesis, there's nothing that has shown up yet
that would contradict any of this. Any of this. Conceptually,
we'll make it
even better. Mr. Brock, who is the German Euro parliamentarian
for I want to say he's not sure exactly what he is. But he
denounced, denounced Russia. He said, I denounced, denounced the
use by Russia of trade and energy sanctions for political
purposes against its neighbors and their sovereign decisions,
particularly regarding Syria. In other words, the Russians have
already said As predicted, hey, if you guys are gonna go in on
Syria, which the EU has now said, They're waiting until the
report, which comes out in Oh, G. October, how convenient. Just
when the second round of talks is supposed to start, Putin is
already saying, you know, I might start to, you know, raise
the prices a little or cut off a little bit of gas, you know,
make it a little complicated for you. Here is Pia Hansen, the
European Commission. And this, this really freaked me out when,
when I heard the the phrase she used here. Because it just it's
like this is where everything starts to really fall together
short clip of her being interviewed, is the commission
worried that with groups and lobbyists already saying take
this off the table or take this chapter out of it, it's going to
stall the the negotiations before they get started, or at
least put a sort of a spanner in the works.
I think it's important to maintain the ambition, but also
to be very clear that we have some red lines, which are never
going to be touched on safety on cultural diversity. And that's
very clear. I
just found that interesting that red lines is now used in these
negotiations as well. Before I think the President used his use
his red line
is code for something. Well, yeah, it's code for we're
in negotiation. Well, that's what it seems like code to me.
Well, good. Dude, you got to remember Obama did that he has,
like, almost two years ago. Yeah, no, no. But so at least a
year ago, yes.
But yeah, this is just a couple of weeks ago, I but really,
before the whole thing came back again. So all of this was going
down in Vilnius. October is when is when the second round of
talks take place? It this has to get done right now. We are not
going to do anything with Syria until October, the EU has said
no, we're going to wait for the weapons inspectors report, which
apparently they need, then they need to compile all of this, you
know, into into a report and it won't be done until October,
very convenient. And we're just going to be spinning our wheels,
which is great because it covers up all kinds of other crap
that's going on. We're going to there's going to be debates
there's going to be nothing's going to happen. You can put it
in the book, but nothing is going to happen. And they're
doing stupid stuff like this as Feinstein but one of the leaders
of this show rod gave us some inside information as to what
we're doing now to convince everybody
I had asked the CIA to prepare a DVD, a DVD, which would have
specific instances, evidence, law, evidence victims and what
what we See means what pinpointed eyes mean, what the
convulsions mean? A number of of aspects and we received that
this morning. And it's horrendous, I was quick. So
we're having that DVD multiplied and we're gonna multiply every
member of the Senate and possibly members of the house so
that they can at their leisure go through at their
leisure at home on the couch, just zips. So these are 15
different videos. And of course, they were leaked immediately.
Jake Tapper had them on CNN. Now a couple of things I need to
point out about this. Now, this is supposed to be sarin gas. And
these are all videos that not a single news organization will
verify because we've seen all of them. We have no idea where they
were shot. The science if I can just say the science doesn't
even work out, you know, and this may be these may be really
people who are dead, they may really have been poisoned with
something. But sarin gas, okay. First of all, apparently, this
magic sarin gas doesn't kill any women, because there's no women
in any of these videos, is zero, not a single woman. It's all
dudes and children. And apparently, this set is not the
sarin gas that can linger and stay in someone's clothes and
kill you if you come in contact with it up to 30 minutes
afterwards. This is not the sarin gas that usually kills
people within a few minutes. Now apparently this tough time to be
dragged into the hospital. This is these videos are certainly
inconclusive at best. And this is what they're peddling. This
is this and it's on on cable news, the same day that she has
been multiplying the DVDs for the club for Congress to look at
their leisure at home. Are you kidding me? This is psyops on
the American people,
which is also illegal. I should add.
No, no, that's not true. Remember, they just passed.
They pass a loss and you can do you can do this No. This illegal
can screw with the public. Well, they think they were the enemy.
Why not? So let's go over this some logic here. So there's a
logic that we have to deal with. Okay. And let's just Just tell
me if you think this is possible, all right. So you've
got you're in an area and you're you're one of these we saw
there's a couple of videos out there these guys saying no.
Okay, okay. Cue the gunfight.
Well, that was that was Syrian, Danny and that was like two
years ago,
right? We know you know, that guy was a fraud. But but let's
just say you've got a bunch of kids running around. They'd like
to have fun. Okay, Billy, I'll tell you. I'll give you 100
dinar if you do the following you firstly you're really good
at it. Remember, that's tricky to do with the snot coming out
of your mouth, your nose. Okay, can you lay on your back and
we're gonna film this, lay on your back and make this not come
out and then wiggle around a lot. Like you're like you're
just dancing or going crazy. Just do that. Ready? Okay, 321
go. Oh, there's one a good, that's a good one. To just do it
again. It's gonna safety. And it's gonna save. There's no
reason that the kid wouldn't do that. Well, I
mean, look, I would take it further. There's no reason these
people have not been killed with cyanide, or, you know, this.
First of all, there's no I'm not counting 1400 people or 400
children in these videos.
By the way, I think the observation there's no women
because they're zero contempt. Yeah, in in this particular but
I suppose. radical Muslim community. The radicals they
wouldn't have the women in there. So there's no, it just
won't do it. And so there's no women? No. Okay, good. Good.
Good work.
Yeah, there's no women in there. So, but regardless, regardless,
what do what differences a few 100 people make? If you're an if
you're an a hole elite, and you're going for saving the
world, which believe me President Obama believes he's
capable of that. I mean, he's and I think that his handlers
also are like, we have to save the world. This is Kerry
believes it. He's turned from a passive as anti war beatnik into
the guy who's saying, you know, this is Hitler. I want this is
1938 all over again. But these people really believe what
they're doing, John, they really believe it. And it's, it may be
for financial gain, in some way for all of them. But this,
there's some real dedication here.
Well, talking about the hippie that is like on the other side
of the argument nowadays. There's this report that came
up, I think this was on Al Jazeera international news or
one of the actual news sites, this is special news with
Samantha Samantha Powers, has had to she is of if anybody is a
Berkeley Hummers, you know, pacifist, her and her ha
husband. Listen to her.
It was left to the US Ambassador to the UN of all people to make
it clear that on the subject of possible action in Syria, the US
now believes the UN is irrelevant. Not only that, that
the diplomatic track is closed Ambassador Samantha Power said
that if they get the congressional vote, military
action is the only option.
For more than a year, we have pursued countless policy tools
short of military force to try to dissuade Assad from using
chemical weapons. We have engaged the Syrians directly and
at our request the Russians, the UN and the Iranian sent similar
messages. But when Scuds and other horrific weapons didn't
quell the Syrian rebellion, Gus, God began using chemical weapons
on a small scale multiple times, as the United States concluded
in June.
Very different views of course, coming from senior UN officials,
the UN and Arab League envoy on Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi went all
the way to the G 22. Lobby world leaders to stress that his view
is that the only solution is a political solution. He was asked
about the international legality of US military action.
I think the Secretary General all myself, we don't express
personal opinion. We say what international law says. And
international law says that no country is allowed to take the
law into their hands. They have to go through the Security
Council.
Oh, please. Security Council. Shamal. So
it's the fact we signed on to that. Yeah, we signed a document
that puts us as a treaty. No. Please, we have to abide by it.
And why aren't we
why? Because we're going to save the world John.
Yeah, but we're not going to bomb anyway think that this
whole thing is a scam.
But this is exactly the same principle that Clinton used with
Kosovo. This was why we had the Kosovo precedent which was also
couldn't get a UN Security Council resolution so we just go
around and use the NATO side of it that you know, the the war
side.
Yeah, but we haven't even done that much.
Well, patience before traveling around a lot. Busy. We have done
something we had done something to strike back at at Putin.
We've given Yeah, we have now with this, this is all part of
the F USA F Russia. Today. Three waivers of restriction of
assistance came out for Pakistan, Turkmenistan and
Tajikistan. This is Section 7031 B three waiver, the Secretary of
State may waive the limitation on funding on a country by
country basis based upon a waiver if it is important to the
national interest of the United States. So if you go and take a
look at Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, that's
a big fu to Putin saying oh, by the way, we're going to fund
these guys with anything they need.
And be like the Russians funding Arizona
you know, they can have Arizona for all I'm concerned. Take it
if it will end this facade. Geez, did you hear it's getting
so annoying when it just get on with it already. And it's not
going to happen? It's going to be and it makes so much sense.
It's covering up everything now unless of course we people will
get tired. I don't think they can take this all the way
through to October. But we get douchebags like Sheila Jackson
Lee, who get airtime. She is our representative from Texas A
disgrace. And I will be voting her out of office. I mean, I
will do my best and just one vote but I will try to vote her
out. She is
She she's a congresswoman you she's not in your district.
But yes, she is Houston. Oh, do you see the redistricting of
Austin we don't have a representative in Austin
anymore. So who do you vote for which this is heard it I know.
Yes. Yes. We have a wait a minute. I'm telling you that.
You tell me
the smartest people in Texas generally are either the rich
folks in Fort Worth or the all the you know the left wing Obama
bots but the intellectual college grads in Austin if
because that's what the University of Texas is. You're
telling me that all these people with all this brain power vote
that idiot in over and over?
I'm not sure when the redistricting went into place
because I've only been here you know, for a year and a half. But
here we go. Austin who represents me districts by city.
Now literally we do not send anyone to Washington anymore.
Austin which is the Oasis the oasis of blue ocean See, who do
I have here? She's blue. Yeah, no, she's blue. All right. Let
me see, I should look at some my code.
So this is I think the Republicans who did this to you,
which is funny.
Of course I did. Well, here, listen to what she said. And we
deserve her
decision will be based upon the not the issue of credibility.
And I wish we'd not hold that standard up. I think America has
shown itself to be credible. Our president has shown himself to
be credible. And I'm saddened that our memory fails us. And
that this is a president that captured Osama bin Laden. Oh,
really? Oh, wow. Captured Osama bin Laden or killed him and
dumped him in the ocean before we could see it. And we still
not allowed to see the pictures. Seriously?
Wow. Now I know she may have been. Maybe she knows. One of
those intelligence committees? I think she I think she is yeah,
you're right. Maybe that was a slip. That's a good, that's very
possible. Very possible. Anyway, maybe just good here to wrap up
my part of the segment with the President's plea to the American
people, which of course falls on deaf ears and blind eyes,
because it's part of his YouTube show that he does every single
weekend, which about 335 people watch, including me. And that's
about it, it will get clipped by some news organizations. It is
so good. John, we just have to comment on all two minutes of
it. And of course, when he's really serious, he does not
start off with a Heil everybody.
More than 1000 innocent people, including hundreds of children,
were murdered in the worst chemical weapons attack of the
21st century really. And the United States has presented a
powerful case to the world, that the Syrian government was
responsible for this horrific attack on its own people. This
was not only a direct attack on human dignity, it's a serious
threat to our national security. There's a reason governments
representing 98% of the world's people have agreed to ban the
use
of can I'm so done with this percentages. Who are those 2%?
I'd like to know because we need to out them. There's 2%
somewhere who think is good
for weapons, not only because they cause death and destruction
in the most indiscriminate and inhumane way possible. But
because they can also fall into the hands of terrorist groups
who wish to do us harm,
which of course really isn't the problem with chemical weapons.
The reason you don't use chemical weapons is because you
shoot that stuff and the wind blows and it can come back at
you. It's very ineffective. This is not a great weapon.
But we've stopped to think for saying they also I want to
mention 25 years ago, with the help of our intelligence
community. The Halabi jaw gas attack was where the Iraqis
killed a bunch of Kurds using gas with expert help. It was
always believed that we sold them the
gas from us now this is everyone's Well, the the
internet's bubbling about this. Yeah, sure.
And then, but they I just want to throw the number out since
you know these guys like to throw numbers around. So that
was the worst. According to Obama. This attack killed an
estimated 5000 Oh, which tops the Obama number.
So this is, so this should be number two with a bullet.
It's not even number two odd, but I bet if you really look
into it, is it down on the list? Well, he
said worse of the 21st century. So you know, he's very steep in
21st. I thought he said that? No, he said, 20 always got some
out slick. He's slick. Well, you know, here comes this other big
one that I have a promise why
last weekend, I announced that as Commander in Chief, I decided
that the United States should take military action against the
Syrian regime.
By the way, he's saying it here, just so you know, he's saying
the United States should take action. It doesn't matter what
Congress says it's
not a decision I made lightly. Deciding to use military force
is the most solemn decision we can make as a nation. As the
leader of the world's oldest constitutional democracy, I also
know that our country will be stronger if we act together, and
our actions will be more effective. That's why I asked
members of Congress to debate this issue and vote on
authorizing the use of force. What we're not talking about as
an open ended intervention. Yeah, this would not be another
Iraq or Afghanistan, there would be no American boots on the
ground. Any action we take would be limited both in time and
scope, designed to deter the Syrian government from gassing
its own people again, and degrade its ability to do so
here comes. I know that the American people are weary after
a decade of war, even as the war in Iraq has ended and the war in
Afghanistan is winding down. That's why we're not putting our
troops in the middle of somebody else's war. But we are the
United States of America. We cannot turn a blind eye to
images Like the ones we've seen out of Syria, failing to respond
to this outrageous attack would increase the risk that chemical
weapons could be used again, that they would fall into the
hands of terrorists who might use them against us. And it
would send a horrible signal to other nations that there would
be no consequences for their use of these weapons. All of which
would pose a serious threat to our national security. That's
why we can't ignore chemical weapons attacks like this one,
even if they happen halfway around the world. And that's why
I call on members of Congress from both parties to come
together and stand up for the kind of world we want to live in
the kind of world we want to leave our children and future
generations.
That's very unfortunate, but for some reason,
the piece here there's give this entire speech before we ran
another clip that was very similar. Yeah, well,
the same. Yes. The thing that I'm going to think that I'm
bummed about is it kind of it kick in the middle there.
Because what he said is, as the world's oldest constitutional
democracy somehow that we
talked about in the last two weeks, because before that we
mentioned Iceland is the world's largest or oldest democracy, but
constitutional is a weasel word you put in to make us different.
He should say, he might as well say, We're the oldest, you could
say we're the oldest democracy in the entire universe based in
Washington, DC.
Yes. on the East Coast of America. Well, yeah. So of
course, this is the this is the the Obama, I just want to call
them the Oh, twins. Now. This is the Obama that is the war.
Obama, who goes out and sells anything he is told to your wind
him up. And he goes, the Syrian Ambassador actually is onto your
theory about this
on purpose, whether the Republicans or Democrats, I
mean, I'm referring to the hardliners in the Congress and
the Senate, they are they want Obama to have his hand to have
blood on his hands the way George Bush had it. In Iraq.
Barack Obama, put an end to the American military presence in
Iraq. Barack Obama promised to withdraw from Afghanistan,
Barack Obama got the Nobel Prize Laureate, Barack Obama went to
Cairo to address the Arab and Islamic vote. And he said there
that there will be no more wars. Where is this Barack Obama?
Yes, that's a very good question. He is in the fridge.
The fridge in the basement. Now, one of our producers sent me an
email. He also tweeted about it, because we noticed that the
President, in his speech in Russia said aberrant instead of
abhorrent, and we've noticed this ah, problem. And I went
back into the archives. Let me just refresh your memory. This
is the President for some weird reason. This word does not
exist. I don't know why he's doesn't say abhorrent. Instead
of he says aberrant. It is it is just, you never learn this
right.
This is very similar to Stewie Griffin runs little speech
anomaly and people who watch the family will understand back up
at that comment. On here we
go. First of all, I didn't set a red line. The world said a red
line. The world said a red line when governments represent 98%
of the world's population said the use of chemical weapons are
abhorrent. And past three words
abhorrent. Alright, so Warren, so this Obama not aberrant a
boring Warren. So this this Obama says abhorrent? Because he
can't say he shouldn't be saying abhorrent. He can't say the age.
Now listen to the other Obama, much friendlier and his
programming over emphasizes the age balanced
way by making necessary reforms and asking every American to pay
their fair share. I'm honored and humbled,
honored and humbled.
honored. I love that one. That's the Stewie Griffin one
telling you this 100. These are the two guys right here and they
the programming in the chip, one of them says can't do the H and
the other one over emphasizes. That's how you can tell them
apart.
We have well, it's we need to get more clips to prove this
point of view this these two aren't going to do it.
No. But it's a start. It's a start.
Yeah, it's a start. We'll start listening for it at least. Yeah.
And our listeners out there will producers will catch these for
us, I think on occasion. I do have I do have to. We skipped
when it comes to before on a show where one of the guys some
guy Brookings or someplace else he was talking yakking about
something. He went into your similar conceptual issue that
you have with gas, right.
I just want to in the show notes. I have a Brookings
Institute report from 2012 about this very thing.
And this beschrijving guy, he's also on your page and I think we
should find In this was one of the last two clips. I believe
it's the base image answers Phil Donahue and you'll have a
different opinion of the guy. When you hear his basic
argument, which is your argument.
President Obama would say to you these are children being being
grossly and painfully killed.
Yeah. How can you watch these videos with the phone coming out
of the nostrils, and we've got to do something?
Well, the attack is a heinous act. Does the fact that they
were killed with chemicals make it more heinous than if they
were killed with Conventional Munitions? I'm not persuaded. I
mean, I think the issue one of the one of the issues here to
the extent that moral considerations drive us policy.
And I would say, as a practical matter, they don't. But let's
pretend that they do. To the extent that moral considerations
drive us policy, there's a couple of questions to ask. One
would be why here and not someplace else. I mean, just
weeks earlier, the Egyptian army killed many hundreds of innocent
Egyptians. And we sort of shook our finger at Egypt a little
bit, but but didn't do anything. So So why act in in Syria? Why
not act in Egypt? I think that that needs to be sort of that
needs to be clarified. And the other question would be well, if
our concerns are humanitarian, why why is waging war? The best
means to advance a humanitarian agenda? If, if indeed, US policy
is informed by concern for the people of Syria? Let's just
pretend that's the case. If it's informed by concern for the
people of Syria, why is peppering Damascus with cruise
missiles? The best way to demonstrate that concern? It's
fun, man, a little bit of creative statesmanship, it seems
to me might say that there are other things we could do, do it
actually kill it? I like it, who are suffering greatly who are
fleeing their country into hundreds of 1000s? Who, who are
living in wretched refugee camps? Why don't we do something
about that? Because it's what Nephi because
it's from afar better for ratings Does he really need to
know things up? It's good for ratings Hello.
skip right to this clip on the refugee camps that was re
exposed and in on PBS, but go to the clip that says refugee
report in French hospital. And there's a little tidbit in here
that I didn't know.
All along this road shops have opened on a street where the
French government opened the hospital. It's known as the
Shang, Philly's Ze, or people here call it chandeliers, a sham
meaning Syria in Arabic, it is now the second largest refugee
camp in the world. And that has put a strain on nearby
communities in Jordan, where water is often scarce, Sham,
Sham doesn't
get much better than that. Wait, wasn't there a terrorist group
that was the sham that were called sham as well? Right?
There was some
sham terror, the sham sham demand or something? Yeah,
do they have to throw it in our face all the time?
So they took some shots of this refugee camp from the air. Oh my
god, it looks like the San Francisco Bay Area
is huge. It's huge. It's huge. And everyone who's I guess
anyone who's not fighting is already out of so what is the
total population of Syria? Hold on a second? I mean, if it's 50
million so
the sham is the streets they got roadways is all dead looks like
they'll put this thing up. And and this there she's this woman
and PVS is wandering around and she's walking past anything
short of a Gucci store. There's all these shops and I'm telling
you this is a whole street the shop Shams Alley is a is a
street of stores that yeah, that the Syrians put up and if you
think about it, the Syrians, the Lebanese, that whole area of the
world, these people are shopkeepers, to, to a to an
extreme and so they build a refugee camp. The first thing
half of them do is put up a shop
Talal and nine others live in an unfurnished, 200 square foot tin
shed, they sleep on mattresses on the floor, use communal
bathrooms several 100 feet away and rely on a gas cylinder to
cook. They get free rations of oil, sugar, tea and rice. When
we visited. She was cooking something called Mashi zucchini
stuffed with rice. She can purchase vegetables and other
items at shops in the camp.
Yeah, but did they were they selling like leather goods?
They might be but they there was a lot of Yep, maybe there was
there was there must have been hundreds of those big
Fedora hats that you get in Italy. Fez. Yeah, you know, we
laugh but it's sad when 10% That actually I think for there's 4
million refugees He's now in neighboring countries. Oh,
terrible. So that is that's 20%. Yeah, that's 20% of the
population has left. And of course, that would be pretty
much all of the population that has that is not fighting in
Damascus and homes and everywhere where there's a
pipeline, basically, here's the deal. If you're in Syria, and
you can look out your window and see a pipeline, get the fuck
out, go away. Because you are in harm's way. Now, I'm really
skeptical because, you know, it's, I was hearing that John
Kerry thing this morning. And I got I gotta be careful with this
because Mickey, you know, she's unicorns and rainbows, man she
gets I can't I can only do this once or twice a week because she
gets really bummed out. And, like, you know, remember the
Second World War in the history books if you ask kids today,
what was the second world war about? I'm afraid that the
answer you're going to get is going to be something like well
Hitler hated the Jews and he gassed him ah,
you know, I think I think is way beyond the I don't even think
that's in the lexicon anymore. I think it's like was that
happened when they when they busted the drug cartels in
Mexico? I don't think the kids today know what anything about
the Second World War or they think it's the Korean War or
there's all lost that's not true. I don't think they did
Jews and and Hitler in the rest of it. Unless the History
Channel which they don't that's all lost its bowl. You can see
it constantly when anybody goes out on the street and just
interviews anyone? Yeah. World War Two was they have
no idea they have no idea.
Yeah, you know, they fighting Canada. I mean, I've heard these
kinds of answers. You know, the Canadian of Mexico and fighting
the Mexicans it was the drug wars. The war on drugs that
second world war.
No, no, no, you have not heard that.
I bet you I could get that out of somebody if you if you
question it. Right did great. Of course they'll agree with
anything when you're on the street with a microphone. But
it's it's kind of pathetic. And here's a little twist on things.
Play the tell me you've heard this all now that we did hear a
story of the they launched the spine missile off of Vandenberg
Air Force Base with an atlas three, right? Yeah. Play the
What the fuck? clip at the end of this thing here and tell me
if you've heard this at all.
Well, you're looking at live pictures from Wallops Island,
Virginia, let's have NASA's pending return to the moon. On
top of that rocket is the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment
explore what a beautiful sight clear skies 50 degrees.
Engineers call this rocket laddie. It will fly a six month
mission to the surface of the moon. The spacecraft will study
the moons then dusty atmosphere, what a shot. The mission will
also be NASA's first test of laser communications between
Earth and a spacecraft. It'll be up there for six months.
Right? So I was saving this for a second half of the show. But I
think I have to bust it out now.
You know about this, then?
Yeah, I know about this. This is the so called attempt to get to
the moon. We're not going to get there yet again. We're going to
we're going to fly around it to see I'm going to save this. You
know what, I'm going to save this right now.
Okay, let's do let's do it. Because I have a thought on it.
And I don't it sounds to me as though your thoughts not going
to coincide with mine.
Nope. Okay. We'll be comparing theories in just a moment. I'm
gonna show my school by

that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
So we want to thank a few people for helping us so show 546

We, as we have no nice things, no changes in titles today.
Which is always a little sad. There you go. And I also
attribute to our sound quality. I think it hurts people. So we
know it, a lot of people complain about it. But other
people still say, well, it's still the best thing we listen
to.
Yeah, I know. It is. I mean, it's just we had this issue
before it.
I don't know if it was a year ago, year and a half ago, where
we tried the mumble thing and it didn't work. And I think I'm
convinced a part of this is not so much on this show. But on the
Thursday shows because it's the it's the Midas thing, the
network is over over capacity.
Well, when you have when you already have a problem in the
network, and then you know, then you have more capacity issues.
And who knows. I mean, it can be all kinds of things. But just so
everyone knows, we have tried everything different machines,
and we've tried everything, the only thing we can do is change
networks. So the last thing we can do, John as you need to
order Uverse Yeah, that'd be fine. I knew that would get a
rise out here. All right. Thank you everybody. I work thank you.
So yeah, well, different network as the only thing we can try. We
really appreciate the the 6666 the bag of sixes for our

se and you'll see a speck of light going over the horizon.
It's not a flying saucer is not a UFO, it is the ladies space
probe, which will solve this old mystery of this glow on the moon
west of mystery. Just before dawn on the moon, our astronauts
saw this glow that lit up the sky, it shouldn't be there, the
moon has quote, no atmosphere. So it must be dust of some sort.
But that could interfere with a manned permanent space presence
on the moon if we have the station there. And so we have to
know more about the atmosphere and the dust. So this probe is
going to skim the moon at a distance of about 30 miles, skim
the moon and give us little latest information about the
dusty atmosphere. We need a little update on the moon
everybody,
hopefully in preparation for a permanent presence on the moon
one day. So after
this moon skimming, what might scientists in the Future Learn?
Well, we'll learn about for example, the other planets,
Mercury and the asteroids. How does that work? Because that's
one of the goals of NASA.
There's all these myths about the the dust from the moon could
help cure cancer. Oh, yeah. What about that?
They call me a crackpot?
I don't think so. I think I think they're just really
details basically learned most of what we can learn
from away. Well hold on a second. Yeah, I was just on the
moon an old wives tale. It's never been in the conversation.
Normally, I've never heard it back in 1500. Somebody's looking
at you know, that moon looks dusty. I'll bet you it cures
cancer.
Yeah, I've never even heard this one myself. Right. So this thing
is gonna this thing is going to skim the the surface of the Moon
at 30 kilometers. I mean, it does nothing but add to my
argument.
What argument
that our presence on the moon is sketchy at best. What is this 40
years now and we don't know about the dust and it's a sea of
mystery. And we got a similar x, we're getting an update from the
I mean, I mean, my my my thinking of Moon bases makes
more sense than this crap.
Well, there's also the other possibility, which is the I
don't think this is the case, but I like it is that they've
got to drop some dude Bri in that area where we landed. So if
some if Chinese ever get up there, they did shows that we
had actually been up there.
Well, interesting. You say that? Because here's the last 30
seconds of his report. No, let
people think that we know everything about the moon. But
actually, we know very little about the movie when he landed
there a few times in a few selected spots. We don't know
how thick it is, we don't know the density. And if we're gonna
have a permanent presence on the moon, we're gonna have to know a
lot more about the surface. When will we have a permanent
presence on the moon? Well, we don't know for sure. However,
we're all gonna get a shot in the arm in 2025. When the
Chinese put the Chinese flag on the moon, we may have a Sputnik
moment at that point. And that, of course, will spur interest in
the moon once again. So that's I think is covering his back.
Yeah, yes. Thank you,
right. confirms the bad crab. The crazy theory.
I like your theory, we need to drop a
flag. Yeah, we gotta drop some stuff down.
A golf ball, an old crappy flag. Oh, let's let's drop some
mirrors. Because you know, you know, the mythbuster guys
apparently shined a laser on him. What else anything we can
get basically, and like
I'm a golf cart, go back to my taking myself out of that realm
of thinking. I think this is the Tet merely to test secure
communications using a laser. Because we're being spied on to
such an extreme. And the real problem is the satellite the
satellite communications, right, which is used by us for
targeting purposes and we exchange this information
between satellites up there. And if there is a sketchy satellite
just hanging out behind one of our satellites, it can pick up
all the transmissions right. And so we need to have something
that is extremely targeted, but we don't know if our lasers are
good enough. So if you shoot it down to earth Will it be a 10
foot? Pole? 10 foot dot? Will it be a two mile dot? Right? We
really haven't done enough experiments. So we need to get
some way out there. And then pound the earth with some sort
of, you know the beam.
But remember the lat wasn't the last thing we did is we shot a
didn't we shoot a probe into the moon and we blew it up and
remember that?
Yeah, that's right. We blew something in the moon and blew
it up.
Why don't we? What was the point
of that? I forgot that already. Well, just
because you wanna you're asking me why don't we just go land
there again? Okay, just go land there. Do a cookout. Dig a hole?
Yeah. Do a fun little show. You know, why not? Do CBS Morning
Show from the moon with it was 40 cent. Anderson Cooper there.
Yes. Now you're talking. But it also but I'd also like Charlie
Rose and Gail up there. I think that'd be kind of fun. Well, how
about morning, Joe? Yeah, send them all up there. Yeah. All
right. I got a actually oops, I should probably probably preface
this with the jingle.
And I was gonna read his email on the no agenda show.
got an email from Dame Sarah there in Shrek shinny.
Pennsylvania. Member the log cabin house? Oh, yeah. And she
has been doing some work for us. She went to a seminar. And this
is not the as far as I know, not for her. Not for work or
anything. She went to a seminar on the DSM five, just for us.
I remember her threatening to do this. Yes.
And she says, Okay, I was a note taking during the conference.
And all I could do is think to myself, Adam is going to love
this. Yes, indeed. So here's her notes. And it's it's literally
just a set of notes, but I think they're good. The DSM five, she
says was supposed to be published in 2015. However, the
task force ran out of money. So that's why they're publishing
ahead of schedule. Now, for those of you not familiar with
the DSM, this is the fifth edition. And the DSM is the
Bible for psychiatry, this determines the sicknesses, the
new brain sicknesses that you can have. And luckily, it also,
as she says, Here, the codes for DSM five, luckily, will now
match the upcoming ICD 10. The only reason that codes didn't
match up in the first place was because the American
psychiatrists that devise the DSM thought the ICD was
inferior, partly to the fact that the ICD was designed by
European doctors, oh, my goodness. So now it's all we
have the same billing codes, you say, This is great. So we can
have a code, and then we know what to prescribe and everyone
can give you the same
and you get, right, he had to, it's like a car repair place.
They looked the car up into you, they charge X amount for
changing the transmission of a Lexus, for example. Exactly. And
this is essentially and then it also has a skew aspect to it. So
it's got an SKU. So they can barcode that in the computer.
Yes.
And it goes straight through to the insurance and the world is
beautiful. So here we got restless leg syndrome made it
into the DSM five. Yeah, baby, the panel that looked at it as a
diagnosis, having doctors on from the pharmaceutical company
that just developed a new drug for the condition. So good news,
you can have it and we can fix it. We have an actual diagnosis
now John, for forgetfulness in the elderly. I will not make any
jokes.
What was the first one? The first
one was restless leg syndrome?
This is a joke.
And I fell for it.
Yes, you did.
I did. Let's see. We have just skipping a little afford here.
This should this associate this associative Identity Disorder
formerly known as multiple personality, multiple
personality disorder. Now this was going to be dropped from the
new DSM because it turns out the hallmark for multiple
personality disorder the case I guess, is Sybil. Is that a
famous medical case? That turned out to be a movie? Yeah. That
turns out to be fake. However, Oh, Dr. David Spiegel, who made
a career out of the dis, she says dissociative identity
disorder, maybe it is dissociated identity disorder
diagnosis promoted himself to the task force for the DSM five
and forced the reevaluation of the possibility of dropping a
diagnosis. Lo and behold, it is now Current in DSM five even
though it had a cap a reliability score of two, when
everyone else has to have a minimum of 4.2 or point for
dissociative identity disorder is in the DSM five and you can
be diagnosed with it. So this is all very, very good news for our
pharmaceutical industry.
Yes. Very happy with that. I wonder what they do to you if
you have that. I mean, what drug would they give you held all
held all? No money and held all?
Yeah, there is. Yeah, I'll just close it up with that. I think
that said it's all
still on. Genda I had
an email from some aihole who was like mad at me about the
Fukushima stuff and I'm not going to do that. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna. But uh, you're
one of the atom haters. Yeah, it's an atom hater
ball. He isn't hater, you know? Well, actually, you know, I'm
gonna tell you, it made me so mad. Like, and you call yourself
an endless is the subject. Get your facts straight. If you'd
like to spout off, especially when you understand nothing
about a topic. Why don't you take a couple of minutes to look
at pretty pictures I've sent here for you. alpha radiation
consists of helium nuclei, and is readily stopped by a sheet of
paper, beta radiation consisting of electrons or positrons is
held by aluminum plates. That means alpha particles will be
stopped by a sheet of paper and not beta particles. Like you
said, good luck with your next Google search. I understand
computers aren't for the elderly, but get with it old
men.
Like the guy's voice, he's
got an interesting voice. So I went back to the source on this
because I talked to a nuclear engineer about it sir rod Adams.
And he and I actually put in the show notes the he sent me the
the EPA. Yeah, beta radiation will get through tracing paper,
but it won't even get through clothing. And this relates back
to the this Faker Shima story about, you know, if you're
anywhere near this radiation, these 1800 millisieverts that
you will die within four hours. Yeah, only if you're laying with
your face in the puddle of water. And if you're drinking,
drinking, even then you could probably get away with it.
Maybe. Yeah. So, so LG Zero has been you know, I've been
watching it
now. Do you on the dish or you have it on the cable? I have it
under dish. Oh, that's an I'm jealous because we don't have it
on Time Warner.
Oh, well, that figures? I have to give some stink about that,
too, by the way. Yeah, no, it's nice and HD as soon as they
still have a few glitches and amateur hour glitches where the
guys you know, there's an interviewing some guy off
camera, and then the hosts mic is dead. So you hear. And so
then what do you think about the Father do you know that kind of
thing? Then they crank the mic up? So they're having some
issues?
I will say we're the last people to laugh at other people's
technical.
Or do we have the money from the monarchy of Qatar? Financing
this show at this point, if we had the money, I'll take we
would. Okay, so here's so I there's always one of these and
I've come to the conclusion that Al Jazeera is going to have one
problem, and that's their name. Play the congratulatory note.
That guy's talking. He's being interviewed and listen to what
he says
San Francisco. Welcome, Gary. Good to see you.
Well, it's nice to see you and
congratulations to Alzira for putting this all together. I'll
zero everybody is Alzira Hey, Al Gore's era.
So L zero. cents. needs to change his name again. Because
it when they they're interviewing people in the
field. This is back to you. I'm Kathy combs from Al Jazeera.
Zero better. I they're going to have to change the name to the
AJ or AJ N. O or Aja network or something like that. So this is
AGI reporting for AJ network or AJ network or AJ N I like a j n
better. Or AJ see anything. You can't keep saying the Al Jazeera
thing. I guess somebody in Qatar thinks is a cool word. It's just
It's horrible. They've got to rebrand.
Why don't they I mean, it's through this be our new target
for the curry Devorah Consulting Group. Should we now be going
after them instead of RT? I mean, we've been unsuccessful
getting work. Who do
you think would give us the most money to help them if we could
get them to use our help? Al Jazeera Well, RT is a cheap
operation. And they're cheap. They're cheap operation typical
Russian, they're cheap. They don't even know what the good
looking women should be on the show. As Even Al Jazeera has a
couple of cuties
what's the name? What's the name of the weather girl you were
talking about? Rebecca go, pal. Zerah America right?
Rebecca she's very personable.
Okay, and let me see if I can find her here. This I'm bummed
out because I would have this thing on all the Rebecca
Vincent.
I don't know. If she blonde. Well, I'm
just look, I'm not there yet. Yes. You American British. No,
that's not her and she isn't. That's an American British human
rights activist. No, no, no. But I'd like to have her
representing me. Let's go to the weather. Rebecca Murray. Maybe?
This is hard, John. Let's see. This is all already I've
identified a problem. We there's no website. We can look up the
hot babes on the channel. Yeah. Oh, Rebecca Stephenson.
I like to be it sounds right.
That'd be her. Let me see. Yeah, let me check. Oh, there's a
there's a whole Facebook page for her.
Well, she's got somebody give her some publicity.
No, she she comes from Seattle. She was the chief meteorologist
on TV in Seattle.
Oh, that's why she looks so familiar. She used to be at
Cairo. When I saw her on Cairo. I said, Wow, this girl is the
one that you need to hire for a network. She looks at somebody
else's right. What's not that she looks great. And she is so
personable to watch. You just want to listen to her. She's got
you seriously. She just Yaks away and you go oh my god, what
she's saying is so interesting.
And what is the weather forecast for the San Francisco? I have
no idea.
Well, speaking of dingbats, here is our friend Marie Harf. The
dingbat from the State Department, former CIA spokes
hall with her opening statement from yesterday.
Welcome back to Friday briefings. I'm sorry that August
is over. Oh, in this one time at bandcamp. I don't have anything
at the top today. I stuck a flute Watch. Watch.
Yeah, that was a little remix. We did.
Sounded like her. Yes. Do
you know that? You kind of talked over the over
the whole thing again. I was stunned.
Come back to Friday briefings. I'm sorry that August is over.
Oh, in this one time at bandcamp. I don't have anything
at the top today. I stuck a flute and I'm sure you haven't
seen the movie. The week. I did it.
You didn't You didn't march you should have kept the game. It
was it was very
hard to do because the bid from the movie has music under it and
everything. So I did the best I could. It was It wasn't I could
do it was the best I could do it. But popular culture buffs
who know the movie about Bandcamp. will appreciate it.
Yeah, that's a movie I've missed. Yeah,
yeah, I think you did. What you didn't miss, of course is the
jobs numbers. This is one of your favorite topics. John, you
probably want to get the the official numbers up on your
screen there from what's our buddy there? Who does the does
the actual the actual stats. What does it shadow stats?
Oh, Shadow stats. Yeah,
once you get that up? Well, I played this report about our
jobs here.
There is news this evening about American jobs and the long slog
of recovery. For so many Americans. There were 169,000
new jobs produced in August pretty modest number as they go,
the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.3%. But largely
because they say fewer people are even looking for jobs. And
an old plotline is back again, a lot of the jobs they're finding
are part time with low wages and few benefits.
To this is this, of course, is the track that we're on. So the
only way to do it. This is what Germany has done when everyone
talks about how great Germany is and everyone has a job. They're
all you know, not part time they did a little smarter. And they
call that the social contract where everyone just works. Out
What is it 20 to 23 hours a week.
And then we finally reached our goal of a 20 hour work week.
Yeah. Which is exactly what you're getting. Exactly what
you're getting.
The problem is you're getting paid for 20 hours.
It's kind of a bummer. Yeah.
Well, the shadow stats. Yeah, the shadow stats unemployment
rate of is still actually it looks like it didn't go up
again. It didn't drop as precipitously as the US, which
has a nice little down, but it's still about 23 and a half to 24%
True unemployment
versus the 7.3 that we are being batted around the years with
this Unlike it's not amazing. Yeah. How? How do they come up
with it? How can they even? It's, it's amazing to me.
Amazing.
That's two uses of the word amazing in a row. Yes.
Well, so I've been working on the ultimate podcast device. And
so you know, we're, I have a new version coming, I think
Tuesdays, I'll be using that on Thursday show. And it's
basically the same thing only, you know, it doesn't have like
crocodile clips and broken pieces hanging off of it, I'll
be able to actually use this, and I'll take it with me, too,
we're going to be in Los Angeles the week after next week. And
then we're going to the revision two, which will have the digital
audio converter in it and everything. So essentially,
you'll be able to use this, you know, to podcast and I've been
talking to manufacturers, and I've been pretty hell bent on
having this made in the USA. And I have also checked because, you
know, you'd be amazed what you learn with this kind of stuff.
It's like, you know, if you have, if the board has
components on both sides, it's an extra 20 cents, because it's
got to go through the machine again, and you pay like, you
know, four cents per pin of a hole through hole component.
And, you know, if you have 200, capacitors, you know, that, you
know, of 10, micro farad, you have to buy a roll of a tape of
4000 I mean, stuff like this, right? Like what, cuz I've never
hold hold on, hold on. These fabricators don't have their own
rolls of capacitors that you have to buy, don't have just a
bunch just lined up, because I've seen these machines, they
got these rolls of keypath, Arizona, you know, on this on
this strip, and they're
gonna do some do some do some, I mean, the point, the point I'm
going to make is that I also talked to some Chinese
companies. And by the time you are done with shipping, and
import, and and I'm just calculating an X percent that is
just going to suck. Just because it's Chinese crap. And you
because, you know, you hear all the time they substituted
something without telling you or whatever. And versus and you
know, and I call one company, the CEO was on the phone first
call, he had no idea who I was just like, the small companies
like up in Seattle, you know, they're like, 25 people. And I'm
like, it's gonna be cheaper at the moment to do it in America.
And it I'll be able to put a big, made in the USA stamp on it
and be contributing to the American economy. We are
becoming cheaper than China.
I think that's probably been true for a while.
I didn't know this. This is real. Revelation.
There's something else but there's other reasons people use
the Chinese. But especially if you have to really ramp they,
they're really good at that. But there's all these new rules
about importing anyway, you should listen to Eric's horror
stories about bringing some from China. Yeah, no, I've
heard I've heard some of them. Yeah.
It's just like a nightmare dealing with our own government
when it comes to influence marketing. I mean, it unless
you're a big company, and you essentially have your own
division devoted to importing and they know what they're doing
to an extreme. It's really hard for a small, small manufacturer
in this country has been screwed over by big corporations.
Yeah, but now, but I'm thinking that now with our cheap gas, you
know that we should be having cheaper energy. I'm not seeing
it. But we should have cheaper energy at the moment.
Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. Yeah.
It I think we're competitive again. I really do. It's, it's,
it's nice to see.
Well, let's get this product done. Why we should do a
transistor radio next.
It's funny, you know, I've done lots of things. I've done all
kinds of companies, but it's been service or software. But
I've never done a hardware. And it's funny how people think
about you have no idea what goes into this. And I love the chat
room. Like, just use a 3d printer. Yeah. That'll be real
guys out to lunch. I'll be real cost effective.
The myth of the 3d printer. You couldn't do it anyway.
No, no, not you will you can make the board maybe. That's
about it, you can make the project it
would cost more to make the board than making 10 of them
compared pleated in a normal manufacturing. You know, those
are for 3d printing, which is way ahead of the curve in terms
of public awareness, because it's not they're not ready for
primetime by any means. They're just kind of a gimmick right
now. And they're only for one off parts. And I've met it
there's a 3d printer guy at the when I did last twit. And he's
got a really nice little printer. And he gave one to Leo.
And he says I, you know, I know Leo's never going to use it. But
some of the people around here might use it. And it's just you
know, they use it, but they only make doodads. You mean like
there's a little
twit logo and some napkin rings?
napkin rings? Exactly what these things are good for
it. No, it's good for Legos. Because you know, Legos, of
course, he was out of patent. So you can make Legos you can make
napkin rings. And by the way, this is another one of those
things that just you know, whoa, 3d guns. We have it and it's
just off the radar. All of these news stories, all of these all
of these crises that that the media that whips you up into a
frenzy. And who even remembers Sandy Hook?
Right? Yeah.
Who even remembers Aurora?
You don't remember I still only remember it in color. Friday was
they tried to pass more weird legislation?
Yeah, but it's really the this week there's an assault and
assault on your on your noggin while I still have this word.
This Rebecca Stevenson on my screen.
Yeah, I just took her off a second ago because I was losing
concentration. Yeah, I
gotta do that to hold on a second. I'm gonna get rid of
her. Go away. Rebecca. Go away.
Anyway, so that was that was just my little. Just my little
contribution there. I just thought it was interesting.
Yeah, well, it's gonna be a learning process.
Yeah, that's for sure. That's for sure. Well, what the good
thing is, is that people are want to send checks just to be
first in line, they don't even care what it is. I'll send you a
check. Right now, once you wait, it won't be it's gonna be a
little while longer. Okay, great article in the Spiegel about the
high cost and errors of German transition to renewable energy.
Yeah, yeah. And this is, this is a great article, it's in the
show notes. It's translated in English, they always have not
always but they do. There are international version. And so if
you'll remember, after Fukushima, Germany said, That's
it, we're getting rid of all of our nuclear, we're shutting it
all down, which was, you know, this is actually Angular
Merkel's big project, this is the, they call it to any given
day, or the energy revolution, or the turnaround, I guess,
won't be a more direct translation, but the the energy
revolution, and it's so bad that they expect energy costs to rise
up to 40% for Germans. And currently, because there's
everything is so discombobulated, because the big
thing is offshore wind, they've got they are using diesel power
to keep the windmills turning, so they don't rust. This is how
it's how bad are they you just
get we discussed this before. These and by the way, you may be
thinking back on it, is it possible that this whole thing
was to derail Germany?
You know, well, yes. If you this is what the hammer does when I
see the the big metal Enos of all of this, which, you know, it
is Libya, it is Egypt, it is Syria, and then Fukushima,
which, you know, wow, that was like one crazy tsunami. And of
course, you know, there is some concern about the tsunami bombs
that were tested off the coast. So whether that was manmade or
not, the result was a new market for for the United States with
our, with our gas in Asia, and essentially creating more demand
for natural gas in Europe, predominantly in the number one
industrial country, which is Germany. So, yeah, you know,
and, and if you look at this article, to me, just there's too
much to you know, to really parse through it right now. But
the whole thing is that you know, when you have no wind and
no sun, then it's all going to be natural gas kicking in. And
by the way, you know, a lot of that is also G so I guess that
in a way is kind of good for the United States except for the GE
plants that are in China.
Which are plentiful.
Yeah. But they've even they've even shut down they had these I
didn't know how this work but they had these really cool hydro
plants where during the day when there's lots of sunlight, they
pump water up 140 feet higher than the basin and then at night
when the sun is down and when there's no wind Yeah, then the
waterfalls down and that creates the generation but they're not
they're not even investing in that they're closing these these
these hydro plants down. It's crazy. This is like the Greens
have gotten there
gotten their way. But it's not the Greens who have gotten their
waste. And it's the natural gas guys. That's the bizarre guys. I
mean,
that's the sad fact. The sad fact is, I think it was, the
more I look at it, the more I'm like, Wow, what a scam. What a
scam and it was so well executed.
Well, that's the Germans shutting down. Perfectly good.
At the dinner table last night, we're talking again about the
backyard nook, two little ones. Yeah. And JC just knows about
this because one of his buddies, or is like, a new guy knows all
this stuff. And apparently, the size of the backyard nook, this
would supply the old electrical needs for your house. 400 years
is the size of a large grapefruit. Yeah, football and
it's got like a, like a teaspoon full of something in it. That is
the dangerous part. And then once you get the thing going,
and you shield it, it'll just just cranks on energy for 400
years to various mechanisms. And I guess, according to the
sources, that General Electric actually sells a small, a small
nook. No, that is, yeah, they do. They don't sell in the
United States. But it's a small, small nook. That is as big. I
mean, it's not a biggest plant. But they like one of the self
contained units. It's about maybe 20 feet high. And about
the size of a dining room, let's say and tall. Meyer, and that'll
power and whole neighborhood, right. And a small area. And you
could put these in like the suburbs of some town, and it
would just power the town. Right? And it would, again, is
closed, there's no waste or anything. It's a closed system.
And it's goes for like 400 years, you know, then you haul
it off? I don't know. I mean, none of this is being explored.
It's either explored or talked about, and I would love to have
the grapefruit sized one. I mean, we've had the small nukes.
I mean, what about a nuclear sub? They have this a submarine.
It's got a power plant in it. That's a nuke? Yeah. It's not
that big. No, and
I know plenty of people who listen to this program who have
been on them and are still alive. Right?
All the subs that are powered that way. You don't have a
gasoline or diesel engine pump, pumping gas into the cockpit. I
just gotta get up so we can get get one of our
Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen. In fact, it's even worse
because, you know, the new study out now, the way that we bring
in the smart grid, because that's really what's taking
place here is we're, we're going to give you the illusion that
you're under, this is all you got. And we're going to put
smart meters into your house News New survey hear being
watched makes electricity, users consume less. So now we know
that you know we're gonna we're going to teach you you say we're
going to train you, the smart grid will turn things off for
you. But meanwhile your price is just going to go up. Because
that's the game. That is the entire game is to screw you
there's just no two ways about it. The whole thing is about
screwing the public.
Yeah, it's been that way. All this show talks about is the
mechanisms in place to screw the public. So when nobody the main
stream media ever discusses it that way this is all a great
idea
or or it's all about World War Three, which is just not so
chill out. Have yourself a great Sunday relax. We're not going to
have world war three. This is not our Munich moment. It's not
it's just not the US Postal Service, by the way is in
trouble. And that's another one that's bullcrap. initiatives
that looks like they're going to have to seek emergency increases
in stamp prices.
Oh well that did verifies the need to buy those forever
stamps.
What is this?
Well that's what you do. You go to the post office and you can
buy stamps at any denomination but there's a forever stamp
that's been out for about two or three years now. They first came
out when they jacked up the price from 40 cents to whatever
whatever it is now 4546 40 I don't know I can't keep track
before I send anything out in the mail. I always have to look
up the price. Right well the Forever stamps, Belay that
because forever stamp is like you buy this stamp is first
class mail for ever. If it becomes five bucks an ounce you
use a forever stamp okay? So you buy I have to I have I bought a
bunch of these. The wanza forever stamp Oh,
don't would you send me a you know how many do you have? Can
we send out our no agenda Christmas cards with Kwanzaa
stamps?
I don't think I have enough of those that we have to send it.
And where do we find a good stamp though? That's like that.
So I saw this emails we have Miss Mickey and Eric and Mimi, I
guess. And they're splitting up the putting the stuffing the
envelopes, or making the dough hundreds
what you actually want to do okay, what we're gonna do? Yeah,
let's do have the meeting now.
We're going to find all the donors the people who actually
you know, not just newsletter people but the donors. The the
top donors mostly exhibit knights and people already
we have a discrepancy. I've heard people want to do the top
500 And I've heard that you only want to do the top 100
No, I've never said that. Oh, I've never said that. I'm just
That's a lie. Okay, all right. I've heard it was gonna be the
top 1000 or the top 500 Maybe I've never
been higher up maybe I'm wrong than okay. I'm with the top 500
Yes, with the top 500 District cars a lot of work. No kidding.
And assigning assigning a lot of cards and
possible that every person right it's also possible we should
just do the Knights only knights. Come on.
We should do we should do the top 500
Okay, well, we'll talk about this more. Anyway, so some
people are gonna get a Christmas card photos and signatures. It's
gonna be a collector's item. We're
checking our lists. And we're gonna see who's been naughty and
nice if you get it or not. The President Obama is also he has a
list. He has a nice list
making headlines right now US drone strike in Pakistan kills
at least seven suspected militants that drone firing two
missiles that struck a house near the Pakistan Afghan border.
villagers say four men were seriously injured and taken to
hospital. That strike was the 20th Deadly missile attack
carried out by US drones on Pakistani soil this year. Good
work.
I love how they now have B roll of the Predator drone firing
hellfire. Nice. It's actual B roll. They've got the
roll. They probably got it from the White House. Yeah, we are
such
a bunch of horrible horrible people. I apologize rest of the
world for the for what we're doing. But it's all for the it's
all for the good. You know, it's all the
imaginal play. You might as well play the clip from the from the
PBS our Gaspar Israel, which discusses something I don't
know. We talked about, what, a year and a half two years ago,
was it episode 181 or something? It was way back there. We
use it as one of our evergreens All right here and now. I guess
it's becoming news. Yeah, and play it. Yeah, play it.
It's a running joke here in Israel. Moses led the Jews
through the desert for 40 years to the only place in the Middle
East with no oil and no gas. So for all its 65 years, Israel has
been almost totally dependent on fuel imports for energy, costly
and precarious for a nation surrounded by often hostile
neighbors. 230. But now that's all changing. Israel has it last
discovered so much natural gas is heading towards energy
independence, a gas exporter in just a few years 56 miles of
Israel's Mediterranean coast. The Tamar reservoir started
flowing earlier this year, with enough gas to supply Israel for
decades. Another field nearby almost twice as big should be
pumping in three to four years. Israel believes both fields lie
well within his maritime borders, that the Lebanese
Government has challenged that the stakes are high because
there are also reports of huge oil deposits near the very same
gas fields. Some call these new discoveries and economic
miracle. Amazing, amazing, amazing story. And that joke
about Moses, we prove this joke to be wrong. Pipeline 16 inch
pipeline. It all began with good on Tadmor and his small Israeli
company which began drilling for oil and gas onshore in 1991.
Obviously, we needed the luck and God's help. We needed the
resources to be on the ground. But I think that the unique
contribution that we were able to bring is the human spirits
and the belief Tadmor a lawyer by training also needed partners
with drilling experience willing to invest millions he had a
hunch there was gas in Israeli waters because Egypt had found
some nearby and he sought investment from the Texas oil
giants noble but he says nobody bit afraid had more believed of
upsetting they're much bigger customers, the Arabs. Finally a
small Texas company with No Arab clients today called Noble
Energy agreed to invest in the Israeli dream started the energy
industry here. Interesting.
And of course, adviser to Nobel energy is the one and only Bill
Clinton. Yeah, isn't it funny they don't mention the name
Leviathan at all in that report. Oh,
they said there was a second one that was bigger. And they didn't
ever mention the name. But on the screen,
it said Leviathan. Yes, yeah. But that's what changes the
world, ladies and gentlemen, that is how it works. And that's
why we have, the Qatari is now building $10 billion worth of
infrastructure in Texas. That's why the Panama Canal is being
widened. These are big, big changes. And if the shale gas
revolution in America is true, then we're going to see well,
what do you what are you laughing about?
The whole thing is ludicrous. Because all the and this has
happened before we saw this in the 70s. All the Arabs have to
do if they want to just put a stop to all this is just turn up
the dwelled, just crank out the oil by the ton, and they will
drop the price like overnight, but right now they're kind of
basking in this $100 thing and think, Well, it's pretty good to
gouge everybody, let's gouge all we can. And then if somebody
gets into our business, these other guys will just pour it
out. They just did. You would just flood the market with cheap
oil back to $40 a barrel. But that's
but that's the oil. I mean, yeah. They don't have the gas.
They don't
have the gas. The gas has to be in Russia, United States and
other places, but right so that that oil can be pretty cheap.
Yeah, of course, it can be cheap, but why there's too much
fun to watch people suffer.
Yeah, well, there's that.
let everything burn. Let's make everything look the same. Charge
into rubble. And you don't think Lebanon
robber lies we've realized the Middle East.
And if you look at the map, please, I encourage you to do
this. And go look at Israel and move up a little north. You'll
see you know, we're Syria and Lebanon are and then you'll see
right there, you know, on the way to Greece, Greece, you'll
see a seer a Cyprus, and then it starts to become clear. No, but
that's not for a couple more years. But it doesn't matter
because it's Texas company. Anyway, we're in there. We're in
we're in we rock Team America.
Yeah, well, it's good for us. But you know, the thinking about
the petroleum economy and there's a I'm watching I'm dying
from my I'm on top of a hill where I can look down the
freeway see all these cars going by this by the tons. Now there
goes a Tesla, you know, electric cars. That's a spit in the
bucket. And it's just gasoline being burned by the you just
this is it. We're in a petroleum economy. Nobody wants to admit
it. Yeah, every I mean, the paint in the house is made from
petroleum products. The plastics are made from petroleum.
Everything except wood. is made from petroleum. Right. Yeah,
anyways.
Well, even even the Tesla automobile is ultimately made
from petroleum products.
Yeah, I'm sure most of the glue because it's pretty much
glued together. Really? How those things glued together?
Yeah, pretty much. And then I've gotten to a beef with somebody.
Because I was talking about how, you know, the maybe the riveting
may fail on these things. We don't know them been on the road
of oh, they're glued together. They're glued together like a
modern airplane. Oh.
Really? Like like an Airbus? Yeah.
And they were defending this gluing instead of riveting. I
mean, as far as I'm old school, I'd rather have a car that was
riveted together, but you're not gonna see that.
No, no, I'm with you on the old school. But we're having we're
taking an old school road trip in the old school Ford. In the
in the expedition, we're going to Marfa. Tomorrow.
Larsa ya know, Ark Capital of Texas,
the art capital of Texas. Laurie, one of our robot friends
has an expo there. And this is one of these places where if you
live in Texas, you'll never go unless there's a real reason. So
we're taking this as a reason.
Like people never go to Alcatraz. Right. They live in
San Francisco. Yeah. And by the way, Alcatraz is fascinating.
Yeah. And we have a producer who, who works there and who
will gladly walk you around. Yeah. Ranger Craig, I
think is his name. Or Frank was it Craig? I
think it might Ranger Craig. I think it's Ranger Craig. He's on
Twitter. If you're ever in the Bay Area, you can pretty much
throw him in in the morning and and he'll hook you up. Yeah, I
feel
is a good tour.
Have you done the tour with him?
Oh, yeah. And he takes you away at least with me. He took me I
took my daughter and her girlfriend, the three of us and
he took us on a back tour. of you know, like, like the behind
the scenes tour. So we were on his little cart, you know,
little electric thing driving around. And we weren't with the
tourists. We were around all these secret routes in the back
and we got to go into some facilities that are blocked off
and you got to see some stuff you'd never get to see. It was a
great, great tour.
Very cool. Very cool. All righty. That's about all I've
got for today, John, I know I basically I spent a lot of time
marking up the documents following the T tip. So unless
you got something to close, I
may get rid of a couple clips here. This is all blonde from
backed off. Yep. Francie backed off he was going to be the big,
shaking the fists and all that. And apparently, he was badgered
by the international community with a WTF are you doing? And
now he's his is his commentary, as he kind of gives up on siding
with Obama,
random Asli agreed that chemical weapons had been used. There was
no agreement, though, on who was responsible for them. And there
was further this very strong argument about going to the UN,
which the President addressed today before he left, right.
And so this is really the challenge for the President to
try to find some other international support. And he
has not gotten to the he has not gotten to this point now of
reaching out to additional support from international
players beyond the French.
No, that's very clear. The French, obviously President
along was it was in Russia as well. He took a beating from the
EU clearly said you must wait for a UN resolution at home. 64%
are opposed. And when it came down to it today, President Alon
took the opportunity to step back.
There's no met No, I don't we're not going to wait for the
decision of the Congress of the American Senate, the Chamber of
representatives and then the report by the inspectors. And
once we have looked at these elements, I will make a
decision.
Yeah, beautiful. We don't care how much Kerry speaks French.
Although I got Yeah, well, I'm impressed by that. And the guy
was good, that was good.
And then there is a piece of contrary information that makes
you wonder what side the New York Times is on. Because when
they ran this front page, horrible picture, that was
obviously going to be used to sway votes in the Congress, but
play the dual background on this picture got to click
and I want to refer to a picture that we saw in the New York
Times this morning, very, very disturbing images from Syria.
And this makes it difficult as well. This is
a picture that comes from is a screengrab from a video that the
New York Times got a hold of yesterday it shows rebels
executing Syrian soldiers. This is obviously this is a civil
war, horrible, horrifying things happen in the Civil War. But in
terms of lawmakers and how they are making their decisions. This
is playing into the questions about who are American allies on
the ground. Are there any good guys? Are there any good
options? And increasingly for many lawmakers? The answer seems
to be no.
But it's great for the ratings.
So everything's working out.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm, I'm ready to go. John Claude.
All right. Well,
you should throw down some friends from time to time.
CSUN you're
I gotta say, that was impressed. It would be cool if Obama just
threw out some French you know.
Can you imagine? He can read French with the right accent. He
could pull it off. Yeah. Didn't have to know what he's saying.
ng
but the the H is silent in French. So it might be a
problem. Perfect for them. And Obama for the one guy. Yeah. All
right, everybody. We'll be back on Thursday. I'm sure tons of
stuff will be happening. I'll have a report from the road as
we traveled through West Texas. Maybe I'll be able to bring you
some Gitmo nation news from FEMA Region six. Currently here in
the capital of the drone star states in Austin, Texas in the
morning. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, otherwise known as FEMA
section nine. I think Sam will be our region for Region. I'll
get it eventually. I'm John C. Dvorak
will talk to you again on Thursday right here con no
agenda
go to government children's. Welcome back to Friday
briefings. I'm sorry that August is over. Oh, in this one time at
bandcamp. I don't have anything at the top today. I stuck a
flute my government showed the best audios mopho.org/n A
