It was a dark, dark November day. It was a Sunday in November
DeVore egg was back in California ye and curry in
Texas. But the prognosis was not good. That's
funny because that relates to a clip I have.
Oh, really well then I'll keep this one handy, just in case.
And we're good to go.
Although your thing is that's a little more dramatic tonight.
Mine's more subtle, but anyway, hit it. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak,
Sunday, November 24 2013. times you're getting donation media
assassination, Episode Five, six. This is no agenda,
presenting the only podcast that is peer reviewed from the Travis
Hine time out in Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
in from Northern Silicon Valley where I can sound happy to I'm
John C. Dvorak and buzzkill
Yes, however you can do it and then say and here's Bon Jovi
saying here's Bon Jovi
doesn't work when you say it's not the same.
No, you said he couldn't say it. He's gonna say it
doesn't sound right.
Why would I want to introduce Bon Jovi?
Are you accusing me of being a puker?
You're a little a little happy go lucky in that opening. Well,
I've
been sitting here waiting to hear back from Amsterdam now
warm again. No, it's not. It's like we never left. It's crazy.
We this is not well. Here in Texas. We are suffering from
some Nordic outbreak. Have you been following the Nordic
outbreak? John
put echo on that. I did. Yeah, that sounded really good. Just
assuming you did. Long laws in the Cornwall Yeah. Okay. What
the Nordic outbreak is global cooling. Yes, it is. We're back
we have freezing rain predicted for tonight. Nice. Yeah. So it's
like we never left
it was yeah, get Mickey's camera ready because we've got freezing
rain. You might get some really cool photos. Cool accidents
here.
Yeah, no, it's uh, so it's very interesting to see how global
cooling is taking charge and in fact Willie Nelson's the tour
bus crash because of slick roads yesterday
all that he's one of those giant buses too Right?
Yeah, well three of his band members were actually injured
had to go to the hospital
is nobody wear seatbelts in those buses. Yeah, exactly. I
was in one of those big buses like that size bus and a guy it
says it got is it rammed into a car on it was in New York was
this when
you were on on the on tour with the Andre the Grateful Dead
now it's just a regular it was a bus of people coming it wasn't I
know it was an airport or something was is one of these
huge buses and I always tried to get grab the front seat.
Yeah bus accidents are no joke by the way.
So I could get into that why no they're no joke if they said
really bad accent because that bus booze falls but when that
bus is usually hit something like it hit this car yeah, it
just killed the car the bus nothing. Oh yeah. Saw this way
to boom ploughs into this car. And it's like you wouldn't even
know you were in an accident if you're inside the bus
I think I think really is bus like hit an overpass or
something. And it's it's stopped the bus whatever happened. But
that's not going on. It's like like boating accidents. People
never think about though That's so dangerous. When the boat is
travelling and then stops because it hits something man,
you know, it's not okay.
Yeah, you're still doing 40 miles an hour. Exactly. Exactly.
Oh, it's a interesting day. Interesting week, some
presidential proclamations. Of course, we had the Day of
Remembrance for President John F. Kennedy, which was,
was that a day of remembrance is or months of remembrance as this
has been going on weekend.
And so annoying? Because obviously anyone who's a
conspiracy theorist is an idiot because of course, you know,
that's part of what all this reporting was about. The I just
tried to avoid all of it. It's just really really gah I guess
it's you know, I think it's because it's free content as
well. You know what I mean for the for the for the news guys
because of all that all that footage is all
you don't have to do any work. You just there's packages flying
everywhere
yeah, just throw some some some video together do it it's
perfect for the for the Thanksgiving week coming in. So
you'll have none of that here. However, I also must let you
know that we will be enjoying National Family week as by as
per presidential proclamation. And let us not forget National
Child Day. Which when was that? The 19th And we just missed it.
So it's been a very, very busy, busy month.
There's some transgender thing that was going on transgender
week or awareness or something like that probably wasn't listed
by the president should have been. Yeah, I did do a short
clip which brought an interesting point to mine, which
I was unaware of. And this is from the gay news that's on free
speech TV. And apparently somebody has a house across the
street from that Fred Phelps maniac, that church that just
walks around, you know, demeaning gays and veterans
love to do these things. And you think they'd read the papers
once in a while and figure out what the law is actually. We do
have one picture we want to put up have a nice story too and
this section of
trends completely but I have another one.
Okay, well, this is a quality house in Topeka, Kansas, which
you may remember was bought by a group called planting peace
right across the street from Fred Phelps compound to annoy
him you see the rainbow flag flying under the US flag on the
top of the building usually it's painted in the rainbow stripes.
But for Transgender Day of Remembrance, they painted it in
the colours of the transgender flag.
Oh wait a minute. Wait a minute the transgendered have a flag.
Hold on a second.
I was wondering whether you can That's what I said. I mean, they
have we have to have a fly.
Yes, we need a bike. Wow, the job Oh, the transgendered flag
is whacked. It's it's just interact
with some street art gods from Amsterdam.
It's it's it's green, pink, white, pink, green. That's
weird. Oh, we need a flag. You're right, John. We need a
flag. We need the flag. That's just I'm confused. You can be
LGBT or confused.
At a trench so anyway, yeah, I was very I was like, What? What
this house was painted in the flag colours.
And notice it was just to annoy him.
Yeah, I just found that that was actually an interesting
commentary because why don't you just ignore him?
Because it's fun because it brings attention to I mean, the
more I see it, and again, I'm by curious which is a category on
Craigslist and Backpage Yes, it is.
Craigslist is not in the Wikipedia is it?
Um, I don't know I've never looked it up but if you go on
Craigslist under adult services or you know hookups,
curious Wikipedia,
there you go. What is this? They should have my name in there.
They should Can you link to my wiki page?
No, but I'll put your name in there don't worry about it. i
Here is a phenomenon which in which people have a heterosexual
or homosexual identity who while showing some curiosity for a
relationship or sexual activity with a person of the sex they do
not favour distinguish themselves from bisexual label.
The term is somewhat used to describe a broad continuum of
sexual orientation between heterosexuality and bisexuality,
the term hetero flexible Oh, you're talking flexible, also
applied to
my curiosity, I am hetero flexible.
Distinguish hetero flexibility as lacking the wish to
experiment with sexuality implied by the by curious label.
So it's a third category, the term by curious implies that the
individual has either no or limited homosexual experiences
in the case of heterosexual individuals or no or limited
heterosexual experience in the case of homosexual people, but
making continue to self identify as bi curious if they do not
feel they have adequately explored these feelings.
Yes, I There you go. I am hetero flexible. I love this. I'm
exploring my bisexual I'm exploring my hetero flexibility
right now. Anything? Yeah. But you know what? We don't get any
props from the President. We don't get mentioned. No. It's
only only like only bisexual is is is recognised as a Wikipedia
entry. So I think it's valid. And I think we should have a day
and a flag on a hetero flexible, play hetero flexible,
big white flag with a huge question mark in the middle.
I found just to switch gears for a second. You know how when
Angelina Jolie? Well, I'll just say the crude way of saying that
she had her boobs lopped off, but she went through this whole
thing. She had the BR C A one or the BRCA two gene, which the
test is patented. Only one company can do it and she went
to this clinic and then She had a double mastectomy and then she
had reconstructive surgery where they keep the nipples intact. I
might might point out as per the clinic that she went to. And we
and at the time, I think we said, Wait a minute, this is
this is something's weird going on with this turns out this is
all paid for buy insurance. It is law in America law that
insurance must cover reconstructive surgery. And the
Bonanza is here, John, I have proof in the inflight magazine,
from Atlanta to Austin, and you're gonna this is just crazy.
I found the full page ad the Centre for restorative breast
surgery. And there's a new term, the may not be new, but it was
new to me that was that's been introduced. So here's how it
works. You go get a test to see if you have the gene not if you
have cancer, but if you have the gene, you get a probability
which and this is part of the law. By the way, it's it's if
you have the gene or a percentage of probability that
you will get breast cancer, then you can have a radical
mastectomy with built in reconstructive surgery. And it
is it is by law has to be covered by the insurance
company. I'm looking at this picture full page ad the woman
is in her bikini. She has beautiful breasts, at least that
we can see in the bikini. And she says, For a radical
preventative decision like this one, I would not have trusted
any other physicians to Mara Donovan, breast cancer, pre
viver.
The hell's a pre viver
you're a pre survivor. You're sad mean you're a pre cancer
survivor. Don't you get it? Oh, this is how insane it's become.
Instead of being a breast cancer survivor. You are a breast
cancer pre viver because you took the test had the gene had
the mastectomy and got some beautiful boobs back with your
original nipples all covered by insurance. It's a boob job scam.
Holy, wow. Right? Yes, it's exactly
what it is Reviver go to you can see their web revive or go to
breast centre.com. That's their website. And it I think I have a
what is this? What is a pre vive I started looking this term up
and it exists. I tried to get the domain name but was already
taken like man, I need pre pre fiverr.com What is a pre Viver a
pre viver is a survivor of predisposition to cancer. Excuse
me just hit me now in the face. The term specifically applies to
the portion of our community that has a community that has
its own needs and concerns separate from the general
population, and different from those already diagnosed with
cancer. Time magazine declared the term
is unbelievable. And by the way, we did just interrupt you. Yeah.
Hitting the images pre viver has its own little red, you know
that little
ribbon thing? It has a green and pink ribbon?
Yeah, it's got a green and pink ribbon. And there's this logos.
It's got logos but there's somebody's This is not a this
campaign is done. This is money. This is
bid well of course. But think about it. How many women
would Reviver day 926 12. This, we miss this
Miss providers. But think about it for a second. This is an I'm
not against this. I just want to point out what it really is. I
think lots of women would love to have different breasts
because of the peer pressure the world the way it is. But of
course it's really wrong in most in most circles, like I just
want to know you can have good or you can go get a boob job.
And it's also very expensive. However, now you take the test,
you get a percentage of likelihood of breast cancer
which by the way, I think the curry Divorce Act DNA analysis
group might be in order. we'll analyse you to spit in a baggie,
send it to us. We'll analyse it according to our patented system
and make sure it's spit.
Thank you. And then we send you back a diagnosis that says yes
you are predispositioned and then boom insurance takes care
of it gets some beautiful boobs. And if you look at this, did you
look at the breast breast centre.com website
I'm looking at all these images on pre viver night and if
you look at breast centre doc I think this is the actual place
that did Angelina Jolie because they have her testimony
testimonial on their website and they have the nipple sparing
mastectomy. This is their speciality. So they take your
your existing nipple unless you're not happy with that I'm
sure we can do something for you. They they save that and
they put it back on and everyone's gonna indigent and
they make beautiful breasts. And I've spoken to a number of women
about this and they're all like, Yeah, this is just a way to get
a boob job.
On the on the insurance, this white shirt, this is what why
our healthcare is out of control costs of health care in this
country worst in the world.
Now, I will say that, you know, as a contributor to the system,
because of course, I you know, I pay high fees to enable other
people because that's how the system works. You know, it's
mandatory Well, I pay premiums and, and they're all very high,
but this has to be done so that 35 million Americans who never
had health care can have it. And if if all the women who have
never had that, you know, can go get some beautiful breasts, I'm
all for it. I think that's a well invested. It'll make us a
happy country. But let's not shit each other about it. Okay.
This is this is what's really happening. Pre viver we can have
a reality show now on pre viver.
Wow, well, you stunned me with this one. Okay. And it's funny
that it's been going it's at least a year old and we took us
this long to catch up to it.
i Well, I was just flabbergasted. All those great
words. When I saw this full page ad
flabbergasted is better than amazed. What really
does here with internationally recognised leaders in the most
advanced breast reconstructive surgeries including the
immediate nipple sparing mastectomy, it's the eye NSM the
immediate nipple sparing mastectomy right here today on
pre viver I'm gonna have to scan this ad because the girl or she
looks like kind of like a mid 30s You can't see your face just
it's cut off in her mouth and she's in her bikini. It looks
beautiful.
Rockin No, no, it's just that some some stock shot. You have
no idea what that
picture. It's to Mara Donovan breast cancer pre viver it's
that's proof right there. That's
proof right there.
Wow, wait, but what about guys?
I feel I feel a little slighted now. Can we get a? A? Can we get
a pre viver treatment for something?
Dick enlargement?
No, all we get is like prostate removal. But thanks. Women get
great boobs. We get prostate. Thanks. So that that was one of
the highlights of our trip back I have to say
well what do give us some more insight of what was going on
over there. I mean, I could tell you what i By the way, I'll try
to tell you one of my little things about going to Florida
and back I got apparently southwest put TSA Pre on my
boarding pass
right yeah in fact you were starting to say this We got
distracted I realised we never really got to it
well I'm getting to it now. So that put me so I you go to the
beginning now they have a guy they get they got one more one
more new hire as at the very you know you have you get into a
cattle call line and then you get to the guy who looks at your
thing and he looks at you and then he puts it now they get
this little funny looking flashlight useless flashlight
that they flashed onto the boarding pass Have you seen
this? Yeah, yeah it's simple flashlight What is that supposed
to
do is to see if you wrote anything in lemon juice on it. I
think it's just due to bring a lemon and a little and a little
you know, cut straw and put like a swastika or something on it.
What happens when they shine
light on it? If it's a little light on there and then they
maybe it's for some Navy they're looking for somebody who's got
some code it's be Bill who knows whatever the case so you go
through but now they got a guy way at the beginning of the
cattle line who looks at your past to see if your pre which
means pre screened, right and that's the new Pro preview so
it's mindset pre TSA so I went in this light is
pre check right it's not pre check Yeah,
yeah. So the the guy show us a little shorter line as the same
thing they don't have the spinning device the net bodies
naked body scanner, a millimetre wave. They have just the
magnetometer Yeah. Believe it another yelling at you anyway.
All right, Ron, I'm so we when we came back from so we had to
we always fly from Schiphol to Atlanta, and then from Atlanta
to Austin. And by the way, it's so beautiful just you when you
come into St. Paul airport, and boom, you know the no agenda
hidden Wi Fi pops up and it's just blazingly fast and it's
just so it's so nice. So nice. And so we go through the first
passport thing, and we were really early, like an hour, like
an hour earlier than we'd had to be. So we had a massage there at
the airport, which is quite nice. It's such a sophisticated
thing to do before you leave. And then so now, if it were, if
it were a Delta flight, we'd have to go through the
questioning but it wasn't a Delta flight so they do on KLM
they don't ask you any questions and they had a magnetometer but
they also had to slave scanners and Mickey and I would just say
oh, we want to opt out and say Oh, no problem. And then you
know, you take off your shoes which you don't have to take off
your shoes in their slave scanner for some reason. Which
is of course a completely different from the United
States. And so we went to the magnetometer then you get a pat
down, which is John 20 seconds. And you know, and then of
course, my bag is always like, Hey, you got a microphone in
there. Which of course is the, the studio bag and I've got the
I have the I'm using the Rode pro pro caster, which, you know,
I would think it looks like a huge deal though. Tom was like,
oh, yeah, you just want to see if I'm not carrying a dildo is
what I said.
Okay, I like the idea of being funny and trying to get the TSA
or any of these security guys to Yuk it up with you. Hey, know
what you know what the guy is saying? Does it look like a
bomb?
You know what the girl said? Just no deal those turnip orange
on our scanner, so we know what they are.
Oh, well, you learn some
information I didn't have. Wow. But I actually had this as you
may I just say you guys are so much nicer than then our state.
Staci police in America. were yelling at you. Isn't this nice?
You know, it's a quick pat down you know, they evaluate you're
good to go. It's fast. It's quick. It's the cheerful that
not yelling at you?
Well, here's the interesting thing about the pre screen that
I thought was a little different. Besides not having
take your shoes or anything else off. And besides having a
magnetometer and rushing your right through and checking your
bags and not doing much. You don't take your laptop out.
You don't take Yeah, of course not. It's all bogus.
Because it's all bogus. So the labour your laptop in. And so
when I went Nast, that supervisor after this was done.
Oh, hey, how come I didn't have to take my laptop out? It could
have been explosive.
No, I didn't do that. I went to the supervisor that was sitting
behind some big desk. He looked like a judge or like one of
those old scenes from a New York precinct or the opposite way of
an Italian
I know Yeah, that's how they all are. They have that little their
little thrown back there. Yeah,
so I went over and asked the guy I don't know if he's, he was he
was running the thing. It's okay, because people kept asking
him stuff. So So what's the deal with this with white I go
through that line. So we're testing the pre screen to see if
there's any glitches. And I said oh, and what is that about? He
says Well, you got he's just TSA has been testing it because
apparently there's there's the if you go to tsa.gov that you
can sign up for this it costs money he says but he also said
Southwest is doing their own
their own their own version. Yeah, that's
what he says yeah, Southwest for 85 bucks you can get through
their system and it's the same you go still go through their
pre screen but you're not clear, you know, for unless you're
flying southwest you're still gonna have to go through the
normal this thing
this is why would you do that? This is This is annoying. This
the whole thing is a it's bullcrap. B It's a money grab,
see, it's just there to annoy me. So now we're flying. We're
flying. And we were in the economy comfort, which I had to
say on KLM is you pay like 100 bucks extra ticket. Well worth
it for the legroom but extra inches. Yeah. And so I'm in a
deep sleep. And all of a sudden, like and I had my headphones on
I'm I think I was listening to Devorah core with some plug. But
I fallen asleep so I'm in one of those.
Thank you very much. Yeah, you go for the blood. That's how
it goes. And all of a sudden, like I'm being shaken away can
like why am I and Mickey is looking at me like panics
there's something going on something going she was asleep
too. And there's like yelling and commotion like oh man. So
like half a cabin back. Yeah, it's like someone apparently we
thought was having a heart attack and and you know, the the
stewardesses that flight attendants, I should say, start
walking through the aisles. Is there a medical doctor on board?
Is there a medical doctor on board? I'm like, I can fly the
plane. And so what happened is some guy had high blood pressure
and wasn't feeling well and his wife or daughter or whatever
started freaking out. And it turns out the guy has had to
take his high blood pressure Your pills like, oh, people are
so on edge, you know, freaking out just like Ah,
I've been on three flights where somebody's had a heart attack.
Yeah. And
they came back with a hole with the paddles and everything but
then they never I was watching they odds in the just put the
blood pressure thing on the guy. Those paddles.
I don't need that. And,
but I think it's, we the people are stretched, we're uptight,
we're all kind of freaking out. And there's a strategy of
tension that's being taken advantage of, I think, if
there's three reports in a row that are solely intended to put
on television just to freak you out and make you nervous. This
was what's happening. Why is this not
it was certainly a big scare in the air and it was caught on
tape pilots had to make an emergency landing after
passengers started yelling about a bomb on board a Spirit
Airlines play
on these guys play
it's another passenger shot this video and posted it to YouTube
Friday the plane landed in Atlanta where police arrested
the disorderly passenger. Investigators believe he suffers
from a mental illness sweep of the plane revealed there was no
bomb on that plane
now here's the problems with this particular report one there
the the video was shot while they're on the ground the
Atlanta PD is on the plane. The guys yelling there's a bomb on
the plane yet he's holding on to the seat that the police are
trying to get him off the plane and he's holding on to the seat.
This I'm sorry this makes no sense if there's a bomb on the
plane, why do you want to stay on the plane? To what do you
mean a sweep of the plane? This is not procedure. If someone's
yelling there's a bomb on the plane everyone off the plane all
of this luggage off the plane this is this is something is
wrong. This makes no sense. You can't just say oh this guy's
clearly nuts. Let's just have a quick look in the bathroom and
move on. So that's bullcrap reporting and is there. It's
just intended to scare you. How about this one?
Police in North Carolina are trying to figure out who put a
bomb inside a teddy bear. The man delivering newspapers took
the bear home then realised it contain wires and smelled like
gas called 911 and police sent out a bomb squad. I'm just
trying to figure out why would you put a bomb in a teddy bear
in the first place like if anybody had picked it up
probably it will be a little kid.
clear this up as quickly as we can and it may be prevent
something like this from happening again. The ATF
has the bear and the bomb the federal crime lab will take it
apart and inspect it
and then we miss this one which is again and I have questions
about this in today's modern internet age almost 2014 We go
to Los Angeles airport
we begin with two frightening incidents with International
Airport and
pay attention to the cops in this report. They happen almost
simultaneously one at terminal four the other at Terminal five
at terminal four and a parent prank call to police last night
causing this chaotic scene. Authorities say it all began
with a caller reported a gunman at the airport and that prompted
this response from police everybody police evacuated it
sounds
like Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad by the way that one cop
everybody good sounds just like the guy so the cops are walking
through like guns pointed everyone's like shut up slave
cower in the corner, shelter in place. Let's listen to some
witnesses and determine
all but then they didn't find anything suspicious and then
they gave the all clear.
First I knew all that was when I was in the ladies restroom and a
security guard told us to come and hide in the baby's room out
of the baby's room. Because there was lots of yelling and
screaming outside I
was in the security line and they all of a sudden the
security people were shouting underlay underlay and get move
just get
that as a squat term I believe on the underlay underlay
underlay on the ground in the baby bathroom underlay underlay
so in in 2013 Almost 2014 When you say apparently a prank call
it you know when someone calls to I don't know if they still do
this on CSI or whatever. But it you don't have to stay on the
line for keep them talking for 70 seconds so we can trace the
call. That's bull crap. It's like connect ping we've we know
where you are. We know where it's coming from. You don't have
to like route the trim. You trace things through multiple
wires and agencies with a guy up in the telephone pole with the
orange handset. No.
Well it depends on where the call came in oh shit this if
you're calling the airport I don't think they have the right
gear. I mean you can get caller ID but there's there's one step
labial. There's one step beyond caller ID.
Who do you call to for a bar? You
don't call the police. What
do you call for a bomb threat? lax? What do you call? Because
the report was very
Ghostbusters. Okay?
No. All right. So it's not true. This is just a drill the whole
stories but yes, I do. Absolutely. And here's okay.
This PSA is Yes. On Delay.
Here's here's what your here's your thesis. Yes, a bunch of
cops are sitting around the lunchroom. What are we doing
this afternoon? Where's that case on that case was closed? We
can't wait. I have an idea. Let's let's say there was a bomb
threat called an LX. Let's just go out and scare some civilians.
No
be great. No, you're missing an essential part of the story. So
two cops are picking up coffee and lunch for the department.
And they're like, Hey, man, this traffic sucks flip on the light
so we can get back quick. So first they do that. Then they're
sitting around and say, Well, this is boring. What can we do?
Yeah, me? Yeah, we gotta get to the donut shop licence.
So I am saying strategy of tension. It's a well known
strategy. We have a lot of people flying in the United
States, certainly for the Thanksgiving holiday. You know,
we got teddy bears that don't have smell like gas of wires are
gonna blow up. We've got guys yelling bomb on the plane. We've
got another lax scare from a prank call. Yeah, yeah, this is
the way people respond. Just like what happened on the plane.
People are on edge. It's a dangerous situation. We all need
to calm down. smoke some weed? Well, luckily, I'm a pre viver
of any terrorism.
I'm thinking you know that that person will make a bear or
whatever it is. Know
to call the Vermont teddy bear.
No, no, no, the one don't know, these these franchises that are
all over the country, the teddy bear factory or whatever it's
called. And you go in there with your kid. Yeah. And they have
all these different skins you pick at different sizes, and
then different kinds of stuffing and then you actually make the
bear at the place where you could that's where you want to
make a bear with abominate. Yeah,
hey, could you leave a little a little room in there for like a
free free Hello bear.com. Bear. One of our producers has lots of
our producers have children. The kids had a lockdown drill at the
school. Here's the voicemail that went out to all the parents
or knew
that we had an unannounced emergency lockdown drill today.
I realise this may have startled some of our students and staff
members. But because of the recent events across the
country, we felt this drill was necessary. So we could be as
prepared as possible
recent events across the country. It's an epidemic of
people killing children
in case anything were to occur here at Revis. I am happy to
report that the students and staff took the drill very
seriously. And within 30 seconds, the hallways were
clear. And everyone was in a secure classroom or office. Wow.
Please know, we take the security of our students and
employees. Very serious. Yeah, you're
gonna get somebody a heart attack you do.
And having drills like the one today should give you a clear
indication of our commitment to providing a safe and secure

So our executive producer for for show 568 is Sir David Foley
Baron of Silicon Valley and all parts of
South Sudan was granted by now Is he is he still embarrassed on

important. So where's he from? What was that Dallas. Talked a
little bit like just
you from Dallas. Dallas is highbrow man.
Dallas talks through their teeth. Okay, dude, I'll talk to
their teeth. The word y'all do is extremely important. But
citizens just do not have the time to do the research in order
to stay abreast of how corporations and our elected
leaders manoeuvre. But with you too, at the helm of the s s shit
cutter. I like that navigating us through this flurry of
misinformation, distractions and infotainment Hey, we listeners
have found solace with you. The media assassination to
assassinating guards of reality. Please do not allow yourselves
to be compromised. And when folks say thank you for your
courage. I think the sentiment is deeper than you all realise.
Please, thank Oxnard Doug dodge for hitting me in the mouth
eight months ago.
John, you can move into Texas. Any old day will throw a hat and
boots on you stick you in a Dodge Ram with a gun rack and
you're good to go my friend. That was good. Hat trick 1879
Originally from Cricket, taking three wickets on three
consecutive deliveries extended to other sports around 1909. So
it's a cricket metaphor. Wow, I didn't know that.
But why is it called a hat? I know where it came from. But
what's the point?
Don't they were silly hats in cricket.
I think they were silly hats in England but I don't know if they
do in cricket. I don't remember so
allegedly because it entitled the bowler now will be the
pitcher to receive a hat from his club commemorating the feet.
Oh,
I guess but the bowler is right so
the bolos the guy was bouncing the ball toward the right so if
he gets
if he hits three wickets in a row, then he gets a hat. That by
the way is a great premium for no agenda nights. A hat?
Yeah, yeah, people don't wear hats. l QZ. Is your Zed L Q?
Zed? Yeah. In East York, Ontario Canada tuner. $1. So credit al
QZ. For this donation of Adam vaginas time maybe you could
read my book accusing start l cues. that.ca Here are the Smash
word codes to get it for free. Do we want to
Yeah, and I think I think I think we could read it on there.
It says kilo Papa, seven four kilo.
You can buy it if you like it's okay to read the code on the RS
what he says sorry, IRC, the geeks, the Greeks work the most.
They're not the most productive. There's a big difference. What
does IRC stand for, again,
in what is IIRC is in is in case in Rick?
It's one of those things. It's like Oh, I'm jus
I See I've never seen it use yeah I see us from target app
and acronyms J's. I'm
just looking everything up today
while I'm reading you can look stuff up. Otherwise you just sit
there are scratching your belly. Yeah, there's a big difference
as for using guns determined as for using guns to turn mom's
against the GOP the Liberal Party in Canada pulled a similar
trick with long guns in the Conservative Party. But it was
more of a city versus rural issue for some reason some of my
fellow city dwellers believe that registering farmers
shotguns would make them safer
I RC if I recall, if I remember correctly. I think you should no
one should use that acronym that's like No, no, no, no,
that's like I am not a lawyer.
The fact that all legal handguns are already registered was
ignored. John is six foot one. Colour me surprised. Giving his
history of trolling Mac users. I just assumed he was shorter
you know, there's some to that
at your roster. Miche in West Hollywood, California $200 My
name is Edgar Rother, Mish, it has been a while since I last
donated. So here's a long overdue $200 And by the way, for
people out there listening, think about that. How long it's
been. And here comes my shameless self promotion by the
way, we're working on Thanksgiving. Yeah,
because a It's a Thursday. A B, it's a bit of holiday. Well,
there's Yeah. And John will as his tradition here on this show.
They the stories really tell us the real story of thanksgiving.
Yes, I just released my and it has nothing to do with American
Native Americans. Just released my new book Logic Pro X how it
works the first manual for Apple's new Logic Pro app, I'm
sure many listeners use logic for their music production. I
also wrote books for GarageBand to the books are available on my
website ding ding music.com/manuals I also donated
a free copy of my logic book on your behalf to Jeff Smith. Oh no
appreciation for his great work in the no agenda jingles he uses
Logic Pro thank you for all your courage. Thank you for your
concludes our short list of executive producers Associate
Executive producers for for for for show 568 We're gonna remind
people to go to divorce that org slash and a child divorce
iq.com/n A also no agenda show and no agenda nation.com both
have buttons you can push to get to a to a donate page, but not
the donate page to vorak.org/and.
Of course, we always appreciate it if you go out there and
propagate our formula. Our formula is this. We go out. We
hit people in the mouth
so Is it is it? Or is this show just not exciting enough to
people doing? I guess we're not providing the value to some.
It's, I think one of the third show in a row. That's been low.
Yeah.
Because none of this happens every time we're entering a
holiday. Ah, yeah,
I think I don't
it's a cycle every time we've done every year, same thing
around Thanksgiving. That's why I've always advocating not even
working. Yeah, we're doing it. But
the problem is we don't have a flag. This is why the flag don't
have a flag. That's why the donations are down. Everybody's
got a flag.
Give flag and then we send out a pattern so people can make their
own no agenda flag
a correction about the Dutch expression on the strike stop by
for hunger, which I promised I would figure out the etymology
of it. I said it was the violinists bow while the
translation of violinists bow is indeed stock stock, when, as it
pertains to giving money to charity, and a lot of it sticks
to the strike stock. It comes from the olden days in the
Netherlands, when at the market, or I guess at the, at the Costco
version of the Market in the 17th century, they would take a
stick to even out anything like grain or anything that is that
has been put into a container. So it's level right at the very
top. And they had all kinds of tricky sticks, where that slided
across but then some stuff would would like to turn it and be
hollow and would flow into the stick to be grabbing some of
your grain even though someone else would be paying for it.
Does that make any sense?
Yeah, make sense. Kinda. This kind of scan is like this bill
wine thieves. They had this. There's a device I've seen it.
It's like you can stick this unlike a needle that goes
alongside the cork and it can go down into the bottle of wine
knocks it out and suck out some wine. So you have a taste nice.
Yes. It's very just the shortfill. Sir. Cork still in
here? Oh, man, I
have so much. There's just so much email people. Try and think
about what you're sending us. You know? It with all these
like, one of the what's the what's that thing that people
always using the iPad that that news app? What is it called?
Not having an iPad? I have no idea.
I'm trying to think well, you know, he just like like a book
and you flip through it and everything. And you know, it's
so Oh, yeah,
that thing I can think of no, what is that called? Chat room
working?
Yeah. They'll figure it out. But it's so easy. Oh, I'll just
email that to Adam. Oh, that's a great story. Hey, you should
listen to this podcast episode 24 and 25. Some great clips from
short. I know it's a two hour documentary. But man you love
it. It's great for the show.
It's you're gonna do that put the specific time code of this
specific thing you think was interesting? Yeah. So we could
if we feel like doing it, we'll open the thing up and then zoom
to the timecode. And listen, ya.
Also, don't email the same Flipboard that's what it's
called. Thank you chatroom. Right? Flipboard Flipboard thank
you a slick. Yes, Nigel. Yeah, do not email the same story to
both of us.
Yeah, just if it's really good and interesting, just sent it to
me.
If you are an insider and wants to be anonymous, send it to me,
you can encrypt it. But sending it to both of us, it's useless.
Because then I have nothing to like surprise, John with.
Don't listen to him, send it to both of us.
And there's something else I was bogus. There's something else I
wanted to mention. So and this is just interesting. It's okay,
if you guys do it. So I get a lot of emails to store it links
to stories and be like, it may be Zero Hedge or you know,
there's a whole bunch of different websites. But when you
look at the story, it is a summary of a story. And we'll
say Read More here and you click on that you go to a story, which
in many cases is also not the original story. And then you
click on so you have to click like three times to get to the
original story. And I'm wondering, Do people ever do
this? Are they ever do they know that they're reading an
abstract, rewritten like headline and everything, which
by the way changes like the game of telephone, it changes along
the way. And but by the time you're back at the original
story, the information is sometimes different. I wonder if
people take the time to do that. And don't think they do. And
since when did a link that? I see this all the time. So a
website copies a story. And then at the bottom where they have
the link to the original, it'll say hat tip to wherever the
story came from. What the fuck? hat tip. You took a story you
rewrote it that someone else did.
No, you don't rewrite it. No, you're not you're not a blogger
to know this. You don't rewrite it, you lift it,
you lift it, you chant another thing, change the headline,
whatever. And that's the bottom instead of have to do that.
Instead of here's the original. It's like cat tip. His hat tip
steal. You stole this hat tip is not dumb.
It's just the way blogging works. Grow up.
This is what politico does. Politico is doing things to the
blog. No, no, this isn't a elitist thing. It's different
John, it's it's a thing that's going on when people take take a
story. And then they write their own right, lift, lift, they lift
a story like I can't believe this is going on in the state of
Texas. Damn crap. Do you believe the name new hat tip? That hat
tip?
I don't see how to abuse that much. That was about two years
ago. And that was very popular.
I think the reason why I started reading there's because in the
book, you know, the in this town, there's constant referral
to what's the guy's name here is the political playbook. The
political playbook is a page on Politico, which is written by
Mike Allen, and apparently everybody in Washington, if you
believe what the book says, reads this every single day and
this is this like the Bible of Washington. And then if you read
this, it's always at the bottom here. The guy has got a million
hat tips, which will be h slash T S. We now have a now it's
like, Here's Dan Glickman for a motion picture. So,
slash T S, you should mean something like hot transsexual
something
that's, that's if there's more than one hat tip. It's, I guess,
an H slash T. But if there's more than one, then you give Ah,
maybe it is a trainee thing. I don't know. It's just this hat.
Tip thing. Stop. And please do yourself a favour, learn how to.
Okay.
It's time. It's time for one
day then Adam curry pet peeve hear about blogging?
No, it's not about blogging. This is a pet peeve about
dialogues. And I had a little tiff with my wife about this.
When your computer or iPhone or something pops up a dialogue
box, and the headline says, could not post your tweet. And
it has something underneath it. That explains why don't just
click OK, go make it go away and then say it doesn't work. People
don't read it, it'll say right? It says what? So here's an
example. that'll say, could not download this podcast. And then
click just click the Quick lead dialogue away. It's not
downloading. Whereas if you read the dialogue, it'll say, and
this is not my wife in particular, I've this has
happened many times with other people. Just I'd love you,
honey, you know, I'm not there's not about you got dumped in
trouble now. And it says, you're on cellular data, it's over 100
megabytes, you have to be on Wi Fi. But people aren't reading
this. And it maybe it's because developers have made dialogue
boxes inherently stupid in the past, and we have no
credibility. Or maybe I don't know what it is. But but the
answer is there. And so often I find that people that I couldn't
get it to work. Got an error. What was it? I don't know, as
close the box. To be Taurus. It's
a good peeve. I
like it. It's it's a huge peeve with me. Yeah, especially
if people are just not downloading our show because
they're not on Wi Fi the way.
BitTorrent Sync is the future.
You say this routinely on a cycle. Every three shows, it's
important to say because I want people to transition.
Everything. BitTorrent Sync was made for podcasting. It makes
now there's the new they came out with the upgraded app. And
you know, I have only I don't have a phone, I have the iPod
Touch. And you literally just scan the QR Code Blue. And it
starts downloading. It's just fantastic. And there's no server
in the middle. And it's fast. It's fast. It's fast. It's fast.
It is, you know, screw iTunes and all this other stuff, RSS
feeds, you just have a folder and then I manage the folder I
take
to show me how to use this the way you're describing it. It
sounds like it sounds great. Don't you have to have a lot of
people a lot of seeds out there though. No, I
mean, they'll work with one obviously but we have the show
has so many people seeding that it's so fast. It's downloading
it like breakneck breakneck speed technique. Break RX eight
brake Nate's right not racking not speed. It's really
phenomenal there's a on every single show notes show that you
go to 568 dot N A shownotes.com At the bottom we are one of our
producers wrote a beautiful how to and it's pretty simple like
Dropbox is you know you just set it up and you're good to go but
there's no Dropbox no server in the middle now of course there's
there's some tracking server somewhere. So there's it's
fallible, but we also we also do bit torrents on an RSS feed
there's just so many different options and I want to keep
pointing it out that people should take the time because
every single show we released dog catcher didn't work yeah, so
you know not our dog can take that may be dog catchers problem
dog catcher down downcast Nope. Nothing on downcast.
That same guy. It is. Yeah, he was this guy. We have a name.
Give him a
beer. He needs one. Just makes me laugh. Makes me laugh makes
me laugh. People just read a little. I'm going back in time.
I'm now I'm teaching myself emacs now and I have to say I
love it. Org mode on emacs is proving up
next RX.
Emacs has been around for like 20 years. But it has org mode,
which is it's great. It's like it's a calendar. It's an
outliner and it's it's a it's a word processor up to
it. Of what nothing.
It's probably installed on any computer you have. That's
another benefit.
Oh, yeah, I know that that's kind of the irony of a lot of
this stuff. It's on these. It's legacy software that sits on all
these machines.
Yeah, but if you know how to use it, it's pretty damn handy.
Like, boom, Emacs, and then I set up my BitTorrent Sync
folder. Boom. Nice. Okay, let's see where where to go from here.
Because I have a tonne of common core, which I was thinking may
be saving till later. Yeah,
push that off. I want to get some of this cop stuff out of
the way. Good. What do
we got cop stuff? Oh, you know, like the, you made a change to
the, to the to the claim. And
of course, the only person covering this is Amy Goodman,
cuz she goes to these things. So she's in Warsaw, living it up on
the on the dime of the contributor. Yeah. And so she's
there. And she let me just play a couple of these clips. This
one here, which is like, I'm watching this. You have to see
the visual on this, but I'll explain it to you after you play
the clip, which is Warsaw one lungs in the street. Oh, wow.
Okay,
The War and Peace Report for those who are just listening.
Is it called The War and Peace Report?
Oh, yeah. Hi, welcome to Democracy Now. The War and Peace
Report war and peace.org. The War and Peace Report is what she
calls this broadcast of hers.
The War and Peace Report. For those who are just listening to
this broadcast. You can go to our website to see this video
that was created by cough for coal. It is a video of a huge
plastic nine foot long youths that are walked through the
streets of Warsaw in protest. Yes, this is Democracy Now.
We're broadcasting from the capital of Poland where the UN
climate change summit is taking place. I'm Amy Goodman.
That by the way is allies not the UN Climate Summit. The CLP
is something different, but that's just being nitpicky. We
arrived
here in Warsaw. 18 people have died on the Italian island of
Sardinia and cyclone Cleopatra. At least six people have been
killed by tornadoes in Illinois and the people of the
Philippines continue to recover from the strongest typhoon to
hit landfall in history. We got to a voice from Africa. Just
before we went to air Somali youth climate activists, Marian
Osman address the main plenary here at the UN climate talks and
wars
and stuff stuff stuff, first of all. Bullshit. I left that in
just join me. Yes, it's bull crap.
It's not the worst typhoon in the previous one. There were a
couple but the big one in 1970 was blamed on blown global
cooling.
Right, who talked about that in the last show? was in the 1800s?
Yes. But that's beside the point to this group. So she brings
this woman on or she that no, she has this woman to after the
walkout. There's still a bunch of these young, I would
literally call them kids. They're obviously either in
their early 20s or late teens. And they get somehow they get
registered to talk to the big session, which nobody's at half
the places who already walked out and nobody sits around
anyway, because they didn't want to spend the money heads. These
kids come up and harangue them as this woman does.
Am I supposed to continue this clip? Or what am I doing?
I'm sorry, you're gonna continue this clip.
21 years. This year marks 21 years since the conception of
the UNF Triple C. And for those years, I asked negotiators, just
what do you have to show for yourself? This convention was
conceived to cure curb temperature increases and cope
with impacts of current climate change. Get here and now. 21
years later, atmospheric co2 has reached unprecedented levels.
And our adaptation fund remains full of nothing but empty
promises.
Yeah, take that.
But this is just the beginning. The whole thing, but she just
went on and on and on. Wait
a minute. Was this one of these young kids who's been trained?
Yeah, we've seen this before. The other one
is from Sri Lanka, who was there too, and she was the real She's
the real troublemaker. Yeah. And she's just like the worst. I
mean, she's like this girl that, but I was noticing a couple of
interesting, new buzzwords, and I'm gonna see which one here
got. Ooh, new buzzwords. Yes. Yeah. new buzzwords. I think
they're both incorporated in the carbon trading is by the way,
this was a I got a couple of things. Let me go ahead with
this guy from Patrick Bond on cap and trade. This guy is from
South Africa. And apparently a large group of these people have
finally talked themselves into dropping the cap and trade ideas
saying it's bullcrap. You have to just cap which is what We've
always said if you're sincere about this, right,
Durban South Africa, the Centre for Civil Society and two years
ago in Durban the cup 17 was a terrible disappointment. And I'm
here with one of the activists from the Pan African Climate
Justice Alliance other groups, really to see if we can revive
the momentum of climate justice. But she sort of lost climate
justice at that point. And the catch
is the bankers and the bureaucrats are trying to revive
their vision, carbon trading as the core solution, it was in the
Kyoto Protocol. And the question is whether they're going to find
any more money in subsidies to bring it back, we have
another great chance. The creativity is fabulous.
The carbon trading idea that the COVID-19 is probably going to
try to revive at the global scale really has been absolutely
a failure here in Europe, and partly because the Polish
government and the corporations have abused it so much. But in
general, the idea that we should turn over the planet to bankers
to allow them to arrange an efficient trading of the right
to trading from the Kyoto Protocol, Al Gore was very much
supportive. What
could possibly go wrong? John to 10 over the climate trading
bankers sounds like a fine idea.
That's really not working now. Jim Yong Kim, the World Bank
President has put that back on the agenda a few weeks ago. I'm
very worried that unless we show more of the opposition in the
demand for absolute cuts, paying private debt and not messing
around creating
Whoa, did I hear climate debt, but you caught both of them? Oh,
my goodness, the only thing you need to do ladies gentlemen to
save the Earth is human. Right, just nap for humanity.
If you nap, you don't put out so much less co2. Yeah, so climate
justice is one of them. And they're all talking climate
justice, including the Chad, what do we want? Justice? When
do
we want it now?
You got some time.
And the other one is climate debt. Climate debt is
essentially what we talked about a little bit on the last show,
which is but I we didn't have these terms. These these
buzzwords
was we had climate finance we had that one right
that was that doesn't have that doesn't have the impact of
climate debt. Because a time of debt may the word wording itself
makes the assumption that you owe money.
Oh, yeah, yeah, we're gonna have a climate debit card.
So you so in other words, and we're not talking about anybody
just owing money? Because they did they bring it up? It's the
United States, China, India, Brazil, and some other countries
were the bad actors. And they owe us money.
Yes, we have a climate talking
about you know, Sri Lanka some little country in the middle of
Africa. The Somalia girl was there and she was moaning about
everything and how a house breaking loose in Somalia
because of climate change and it's all everything's climate
change his fault and they owed money
climate debt we have climate debt to them yes, we have
we owe them money because of the because we've done suck so let's
play a couple of things. The carbon trading is out clip I
don't know if it's the same one we just played
it's no no, it's a different one. I played the Patrick Bond
Australia this one Durbin Scotch the same mistake I made all
right bullet. Yep. I think there's I think there's one more
Yeah, the told. I think that was all I got that was worth
building building seven is pooled. Yeah. So just so the
whole free speech TV has some new programming though there
after the climate thing was, it was it was the same as we did
last year law a couple years ago when they were in the other
place, or Amsterdam, whatever it was. Stay bullcrap. But play,
play. Play Play. This is the new programme free speech TV is
making some changes and this is a show we can look forward to
just spin presenting positive, innovative and solution oriented
news from around the world. On today's programme, we feature
the film peacemakers with Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One
Day, interviewing Prem Rawat, international ambassador for
peace. Then we'll see the Prem Rawat foundations piece for
people video entitled, Peace begins with you a
lot of stuff about peace coming up. Yeah, and free speech TV,
especially with their international ambassador for
peace, pram, Wawa, Wawa, I'll be watching that. And it's just as
if they're completely insane over at free speech TV and I
don't even know how much of this has anything to do with free
speech. Oh, here's the other cop. One is the cop report from
democracy now. Play this and then we're done.
Okay,
that is Frederick Chopin. He is a native of Poland. Yes, we're
broadcasting
for me, Chopin, the composer.
They play music on free speech TV commercials. She's back
announcing show and she backs back announces he's always
wanted to be a DJ. Play some dipshit song, she back announces
that and I think it's all in hopes
to see if I can try this Frederic Chopin right here on
the Warren peace report Democracy Now of course, Chopin
grew up right here in Warsaw, Poland, where we are now about
to bring you the brand new friends listen, that
is Frederick show Penn. He is a native of Poland. Yes, we're
broadcasting from Warsaw. I'm Amy Goodman. We're here at the
UN Climate Summit known as cop 1900s of activists have walked
out of the talk setting a lack of progress here over the last
10 days groups backing the walkout include Greenpeace Oxfam
three fifty.org, the International Trade Union
Confederation ActionAid, international WWF and Friends of
the Earth,
the current debris Consulting Group for climate finance, The
move comes less than
36 hours after group of 133 developing nations walked out of
a key negotiating meeting amidst a conflict over how countries
who historically emitted the most greenhouse gases should be
held financially responsible for some of the damage caused by
extreme weather playing a turn, right. There's
not climate, it's
unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Where is everybody? The weather
is not climate is not whether it has been told over and over
again, this has now just changed. And this is your news
media that you pay for some people pay for they send money
to PBS. This is crazy. Some
other voices of protest
will see us on the promises that were made in Doha, and
especially the finance because what really brought us in our
saw is the issue of finance, can it be fulfilled, we don't want
promises. We don't want empathy, where will we have the impact
and then people come and just empathise with us or sympathise
with us. We don't blame that animal who went solidarity?
So the biggest development, I think of this moment is that
some of the largest NGOs in the world WWF Oxfam, Greenpeace
groups that traditionally have been very engaged in this
process, are saying, we actually need to change tactics, we need
to begin to take on the fossil fuel industry in a really new
way. And so the message on the shirt says polluters talk, we
walk, I think that coming out of these meetings, there's going to
be a new type of commitment to really take on the fossil fuel
industry. divestment campaigns standing up to pipelines like
Keystone XL, we're beginning to figure out that to make progress
on climate. We can't just come to these conference and ask
leaders for action we really need to take on the industry
itself.
You know what this guy needs a flag.
I think he's got one
in fact is, is there a climate change flag?
Yeah, I think so.
Let me check. I don't think so. Climate I think there is I don't
think there's a climate change flag. He's got a flag but us.
There is no I'm looking there's no uniform flag. There's no
climate change. Flag, the cop thing.
I think there's a flag. Yeah, but
yeah, I mean, but I mean, it's not like a rainbow or you know,
transgendered flag. I mean, these you know, if you really
want to achieve something, you'd flag that
is Jamie Han of three fifty.org. And Cynthia. Oh, they
got a flag. Three fifty.org This is funny. You know, sir Jean.
Our producer here?
Yes. Or the guy who? Your handler Yeah, my
handler. He has one of those. What's it called? It's called?
Oh, hold
on a second. Wait, stop. So I found a climate change flag,
which is actually the gay flag. With the word climate in the
middle of
a great, it's the rainbow flag with climate I see it. So sir
Jean has one of those. Net Netatmo one of those networked
weather stations. And he sent me the app so I can look at the
weather and the conditions in his house. And it had measures
and this is what's cool co2 in the house. Currently now three
fifty.org These are the guys that said we can have co2 go
above 350 parts per million because we're all die. Right now
I'm looking at cert genes internal co2 measurement 493
parts per million gene get out and I've seen it go up to 700
Sometimes
what are they What's the 350 thing all about? Just a
bogus number that the domain name was available I don't know.
Anyway, the smart money is on global cooling and then please
pay no attention to the sun flares and and what do we have
we had a star blow up and all this pay no attention to
anything else. But rich nations. I had some other thing that said
this been going around a meme Oh Let me see if I can find it
here. These these 90 companies are responsible for all the
global warming.
Oh, wow, I didn't get that one. I think you can
Google it, you'll see it. I think it's 90 companies, all the
global
89 companies or 91.
Just inherited from The Guardian, of course, the
guardian of reality, who wrote this, Suzanne Goldenberg, US
Environmental correspondent, just 90 companies cause Oh, why
they can't
have an environmental correspondent in England? Yes,
not
just 90 companies caused two thirds of manmade global warming
emissions, I'm sorry, two thirds. And let's say this
is part of the of the overall 90% meme and all the rest of it,
where you have these numbers. So like a very small number of
people, cause all this brought, you know, very small number of
people use the resources, a very small number of people to do
this, you know, and then you can target a very small number of
companies. And essentially, it's an extortion racket, as far as I
can tell, so it'd be the same thing as you did Jesse Jackson
would do, which is said we're going to approach we're going to
march on your place, and you're gonna be all kinds of news
coverage. If you don't hire some black guys, this is okay. We'll
hire some black as well. We may want March anyway, you know, the
real problem that we have here is that you're not contributing
to our cause. Oh, oh, okay. Well, here's the check. Okay,
bye.
It's all good. The climate crisis in the 21st century has
been caused largely by just 90 companies, which between them
produced nearly two thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions
generated since the dawning of the Industrial Age. New research
suggests the company's range from investor owned firms
household names such as Chevron Exxon and British Petroleum to
state owned and government run firms. The analysis which was
welcomed by the former Vice President Al Gore, as a crucial
step forward, found that the vast majority of the firm's were
in the business of producing oil, gas or coal, which has been
published in the Journal of climactic climatic change.
Wow, what
is this? So I haven't looked at this, but I will for Thursday,
I'm going to download this right now tracing anthropogenic carbon
dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and cement producers
from 1854 to 2010. There you go. That'll do it. In Gitmo nation,
the Netherlands low lands was big news that well, you know,
they gotta gotta put more windmills in to save the earth.
And the government said, You know what, by 2020, we have to
have 16% of all of our green energy coming from wind, and it
will cost 70 billion euros that will have to come from the
private sector. Which of course means it'd be tonnes of great
incentives. And what do you call it? subsidies?
It's going to the taxpayers pocket. Yeah. Oh, of course.
Yeah.
Oh, can we close the gate? Private sector? Yeah. To the
gate to the gate to the claim. And
since we're doing a lot of mileage from that clip, since
we're doing callbacks, although it's not exactly right. Not
entirely swine flu. But good news. The US Food and Drug
Administration. That will be the FDA said on Friday, it has
approved a vaccine made by GlaxoSmithKline. For an h five
and one bird flu epidemic. The vaccine pen Dendrix will be
added to the national stockpile and will not be available for
commercial use. However, interesting to note that it will
not be available for commercial use. It's it's just being sold
directly to the stockpile.
What it could be they could be selling them water.
They could be but they're not. Because the first this is the
first h five and one vaccine approved to contain an adjuvant.
Remember that the Hamburger
Helper weeks and weeks talking about these adjuvants
adjuvants are illegal in the United States,
because they can't Yeah, they're illegal. That's why they can't
sell to the public, as you mentioned. Yep. So they don't
want to do anything with these things until they can. So what
we're going to see what you're suggesting, even though you're
not suggesting it, but I think you're suggesting it. What we're
gonna see is a move to legalise adjuvants while this stockpile
is being accumulated. The FDA
approved the vaccine for use in people over the age of 18 who
are at increased risk of exposure to the virus. It would
be distributed by public health officials if needed. Man come to
the schoolhouse get your free I mean your mandatory shot.
Well it could be there's also the you They've made this
exception. I think there's another thing that is wishes the
story I had clipped I think last week or the last show and it was
in the backup files, which if you had you could play it, but
I'll just tell you what it was. The FDA allowed and I think this
was a precursor, what you're doing here. If allowed a
unauthorised experimental vaccine against a certain strain
of meningitis to be used on all the students at Princeton, or
really,
with an adjuvant with an adjuvant?
I don't know whether it has an adjuvant or not all I know is
it's not a legal vaccine, but they're, they're saying it's
okay. In this situation, because there's an outbreak, supposedly,
five people, I guess, at Princeton University, which is
you're going to start killing the elites. That's the place
where you start that'll get your attention. And they've rolled
out this European vaccine against his very crazy and his
like, it's always weird, and you have a very specific vaccine
against the very weird and unusual and rare strain of the
meningitis. Bacteria.
Well, so let me continue on this because there's some interesting
things because, as you pointed out, this news release which is
from Reuters, is all about the adjuvant. According to Glaxo
some 30 million doses of pandemics were administered
across Europe. 800 people, mostly children develop
narcolepsy and same story to our saying, Today, we have Sweden,
preparing to offer an official apology for the children who
suffered narcolepsy following vaccination against the flu from
the flu shot, which is this very flu shot. And so now but now
apparently, the FDA and GlaxoSmithKline says there's
insufficient evidence to prove adjuvant the adjuvant was to
blame. adjuvants have been using vaccine for diseases such as
diphtheria, and tetanus for decades. Now a new more powerful
generation of adjuvants, including a S oh three, which is
squarely is contained in the vaccine is being developed in
the safety is being tested. Hey, I think you're right. I think
this is all about the adjuvants which does mean two things. One
is Hamburger Helper so you can sell more, or you get more for
your money more bang for the buck. Exactly.
And we talked about all this before squalene in particular.
But how about when this what was year was the swine flu bull
crap,
it was 2009. Yeah, we
had covered it to an extreme of this show did and now here it is
again. Now guys never let up. Now here's
something that I got really excited about in the Federal
Register today. And of course, it's always bad Chad there in
Boulder, Colorado, who's who's posting all the Federal Register
duties to the no agenda, news network.com site. Very exciting,
John, we could this is a red book gain. We can participate.
The Federal Register, that CDC through the Federal Register has
announced the requirements and registration for the I got to do
some echo predicts the influenza season challenge. Yes, ladies
and gentlemen, registration opens November 23. Closes
December 2 2003 register by sending an email to flu
contest@cdc.gov. And here's what we need to be eligible for a
prize. And by the way the prize $75,000 Nice. We must be at
least 18 years old. I think we got that one covered. We've
registered to participate. Yes. But but let's see, what do we
have to do? We have to in order to win here to contest for the
contest. 170 $5,000 prize will be awarded your tax dollars at
work, the winning competitor will be recognised on the CDC
influenza webpage. Okay, here's what you need to do. You need to
correctly predict the start of the flu season, that peak of the
flu season and the end of the flu season.
Give it a shot.
But there's something else going on here. Obviously this is to is
probably to promote like some bogus Google thing.
Obviously something going on they wouldn't just come up with
a stupid contest without some rationale some reason because
people are gonna say why are you spending? Why are you even doing
this? What's the point? What point is awareness?
Let's think about it for a second what we I'm sure we can
we can we can nail this.
The Start? It's simple. I think instead of looking for something
complicated, it's just to me, I think it is awareness, I think
is to have the contest started. And so everyone's thinking about
it and and then they're you know, then you've got At the
peak going and you get to get those selling more and more and
more vaccines, more flu shots at Costco. More flu shots at
Safeway, more flu shots everywhere. And you can always
talk about, oh, we can get a flu shot. Well, maybe the flu shot,
you know, if everyone gets flu shots, and this season will be
shorter, or it would all be part of the contest. And I don't
know, I'm trying
to I just looked up let me see 2013 National Influenza
Awareness Month now that was August so we already missed
that. So it's not going to start then. It wouldn't have to start
pretty soon.
I would have thought that it started by now. Well, no, it's
it usually starts in October.
You know, it can't even start before December 1 Because the
contest doesn't open until December 1.
What a scam
$75,000 Seriously, just donate that to the no agenda show.
Stupid if everybody who listens to the show. Put a link in that
shows. Everybody who listens to this show just enters the
likelihood of one of our listeners winning and then
giving us like I ran
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, you know, hey, I won here's your $222
Rain bitches Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, that's
that's how that's how it'll go. Are we doing that now? Okay,
what all right, Bitcoin we got to talk about Bitcoin.
Let's talk about Bitcoin.
I got to talk about Bitcoin. Let's see what the current
we didn't get through. We are yet to get a theme for the
Bitcoin segment.
No one has sent me a Bitcoin. So and we got to stay on this
because I'm now convinced. So 1000 By the end of the year is
obviously going to be hit. We already hit 900. So what is it
now I have 841 Eight. I'm sorry. 837. Oops, we just went down a
bit. And
had to make it fluctuate a little bit. So it looks real.
So there's a lot of things going on, that I find very
interesting. And the main one, and this was something I saw on
RT and I've never seen this woman on RT, there's a new
woman, and she has another you know, we're always looking for
the perfect
duo is a deep Russian accent. Yes. Yeah. So she's
got the right accent, but not quite the right look
and the answer a little too older Russian. Yeah. And the
accent
is it's a lot of it is is spot on, but it's a little too
aggressive.
Yeah, it's to accent D not too aggressive. So
she has on Patrick Merck. Now Patrick Merck and this is what
caught my eye because here's a he already had caught my eye at
the Senate hearing. He is the Legal Adviser on the board of
directors of the Bitcoin Foundation.
I saw this segment. I was that funny looking guy. He's got like
a weird hair pattern. He's kind of bald. And he has a beard.
He's got a douchebag beard
and got a beard. Yeah. So have you seen the if you look at the
Bitcoin Foundation website at all
these guys are the Bitcoin Foundation guys are showing up
everywhere. Yeah, I never heard about him until like a week ago.
Well, it's been around for a while if you go to Bitcoin,
Bitcoin foundation.org. Here's the board members, Gavin
Andresen. Who is the let's see, he's he wasn't. He began his
career as Silicon Graphics. He left the valley CTO of early
Voice over IP startup, which means that failed company making
multiplayer online games most recently the developer of the
Bitcoin digital currency project, whatever that is. Mark
Carpa less Who is this? I like this description. Mark currently
serves as CEO of a mountain Gox one of the oldest Bitcoin
businesses in operation today. He is the mastermind who created
the current trade engine and the multiple currency platform who
puts that in their bio? I'm a mastermind,
mastermind, and we have Mickey Malka,
the sole general partner of rabbit capital. Ribbit. Ribbit.
Sorry. So there's the VC in there. John Metolius. This guy
is interesting because he's a he's a press guy, a money
researcher and crypto economist from George Washington
University. John advises startups in Bitcoin gaming,
mobile and prepaid organisations. A tech
contributor to Forbes magazine editor of the monetary future.
He serves on the editorial board of Bitcoin magazine. And then we
have the
US guy was previously the CEO Hushmail remember them no. Oh,
yeah, hush mail was like a private
secure email would happen to them. Well, they
barely said Dennis aka I was shocked. I don't know the story.
either the NSA came knocking or their security was crap. And
it's just you know, they couldn't keep it up. So these
are
all guys that who are building businesses around this and then
Pratt, Patrick mark, interesting businesses, he was the prince.
He's the principal and founder of engage legal. And yeah, and
he's basically a PR guy for engaged legal. We are laser
focused on discovering new and innovative ways to provide value
and deliver results for our clients. We specialise in
gamification. And of course, Bitcoin is the biggest game on
the planet right now bigger. I say, Bitcoin is a bigger game
than Grand Theft Auto Five, virtual economies specialist in
loyalty and rewards and alternative payment system. So
yeah, that makes total sense. And he was also he previously
Patra worked in business and legal affairs at big door, big
door.com, which is also loyalty marketing. Now, the more I look
at Bitcoin, the more I love what I'm seeing. Because this is not
a currency, this is a game. Although I think there was this
guy who said something very interesting. And maybe it might
be in this clip that I have an idea. And I liked what he said
that Bitcoin is a protocol for transferring value on the
internet. And I like that definition. By the way, I like
it a lot. And it still doesn't mean it's a currency. But I
wanted to just play a couple minutes until we're bored of
this interview, because everything he said, everything
comes out of his mouth is is interesting to listen to as a
member of the Bitcoin Foundation, which of course is a
part of the Bitcoin community. Because without the community,
it won't work.
Both player we're all speculators help with price
discovery. And of course, consumers use it for as a
currency. So I think that's likely to be the trend with
Bitcoin as well. The difference is that the it's supply and
demand right now and the demand is far outstripping supply. And
that drives the price up in these parabolic curves.
Just for my edification, John, you would agree that this kind
of supply and demand that he's talking about that this really
is, it really is not a currency, it's kind of like a penny stock,
which is really nothing. No ownership or anything behind it
was more
like a derivative than a penny stock,
right of derivative just being a piece of paper and a promise,
right? Yeah. But But again, I want to say it, it's a game and
it's a great game. It's a huge game, and
there's no evidence of this not manipulated, because there's no
oversight.
It doesn't matter. It's done. Who cares. Richard Branson now
accepting bitcoin for his spaceflight, which to me is
proof that there's never going to be a spaceflight you'll be.
You'll be training for 20 years. Oh, are on the vomit common?
Again, we're training for weightlessness. Hey, Richard,
man, when are we going to go up in that thing? Yeah, state stay
tuned is coming. It's just suddenly a bit coined.
But eventually we'll we'll settle in at a valuation that is
fair for for mass consumer adoption,
I don't just settling in on a price that is fair. I don't
think that can happen. I'm looking at it as like from a
gaming perspective. Now, I don't think this can happen until all
the Bitcoins have been mined, and we M What a 11 or 12 million
are done. So there's nine or 10 million still out there. I think
this is going to continue past the $1,000, I think it's going
to go to 2300 is my next mark, after 1000 is just going to keep
on going because everybody is is in on the game. Everybody sees
that if you get in now, and you continue with the hype, it'll
just keep growing and growing and growing
when we get to that.
Absolutely. But I'm sure you heard a Bitcoin sceptics
comparing this new currency to a Ponzi scheme or warning of a
possible bubble. And you know that, you know, like, in the
case with housing bubble or high tech bubble, the problem was not
in the actual, you know, assets that were behind those
industries, but in the amount of speculation that surrounded it.
So it seems that the same thing is now happening with Bitcoin. A
lot of speculators are drawn to it.
I love I kind of love the accent, but it's a little too
much. And it's also you know, when do you want to be it's a
little harsh, it should be a little more, there's no sexiness
in her.
Right she needs that's it? Well, I'm the consulting perspective,
when we play the mean executive was just like, hey, she needs to
have a softer side needs to be softer and a little more of a
left Lewis back. Here's
how the the meeting would go. Babe, can you sex it up a bit
for me?
Maybe I mean, that's who knows what what's really happening? No
one can even give you a good answer on why the price of a
widely held and publicly traded stock like GE goes up and down
on some days.
Oh, hold on a second. Yeah, I think I can do But there's a lot
of reasons why a widely held stocks, the first one is
comparing Bitcoin to GE stock.
That's a good bit to think about. It's a good bit, but
it's makes no sense. Because stock in GE, you know, there's a
perceived value of ownership. And there's lots of things that
make a stock price go up and down. Besides PR and marketing.
There's all kinds of things like dividends or deals that are done
and all kinds of things. So it's dead executives,
it's hard to predict why or how the bitcoin price is moving, or
what's underlying it, whether it's a bubble or not, is
suggestive that at some point, it will eventually hit zero. I
don't believe that to be true. So I wouldn't necessarily call
it a bubble and that strict sounds don't
hit zero when they pop. I don't know why he said that. Why do
you say that? It was when the housing crisis happened at every
house become worth zero?
No, but I'm going to presume that these guys in the Bitcoin
Foundation, I'm going to presume that maybe they're not in on the
Satoshi Shaka Maka Nakamoto thing who created it. But there
they are the guys who have the most vested interest in making
it work, ie continuing to rise in value against the dollar. So
everything they say you got to take as a promotional activity.
And certainly there are going to be price surges and corrections,
we'll probably see more of these along the way again, as as
supply and demand work themselves out. As more and more
consumers come into the system, it's probably going to be a few
years while that happens. And that's one of the reasons why I
caution people, this is a very high risk environment. And it's
really not ready yet for for your average everyday investor
to try again, the investor
word is there savings to it. And
in any way. Anybody who puts money into the system now should
expect that they could lose all of it.
He's talking like it's an investment, not a currency. And
this is the Bitcoin Foundation General Counsel. So please take
that for what it's worth.
Now, what do you think is the fair price of a Bitcoin unit at
the moment? Would you yourself buy it for $900?
Sure, yeah. I mean, if this technology, you'll buy it, yeah,
reaches even a fraction of its potential, then $900 would
likely be a bargain. Especially.
It's a bargain. No, it's no, no, I think it's a bargain. I think
until all the Bitcoins are mined, this thing has nowhere to
go but up over the trending like currency
in the future. Now, it's also possible that Bitcoin could have
a extremely useful purpose if it was valued at 10 cents, just as
a payment mechanism. But most likely, it's going to be worth a
lot more as as more and more people use it as more and more
people see it as a legitimate alternative for payments online,
for international remittances and as a store of value.
So here's what's happening, Jonathan,
you might as well invest in Brazilian riyals.
No, I think No, I disagree. I think that what and I'm going to
put my my, my bitcoins where my mouth is, I think that what's
happening here, this, why is Richard Branson getting in on
this? And why? Why are all these people jumping in because they
understand the game. And the game is as long as the coins
aren't mined, as long as we keep the hype going, people will want
to get coins because you get the coin and a week later it is
increased in value is that is going to go on for a long time,
as nothing seems to stop this thing. Nothing. So it's a hype.
And it's a hype of epic proportion. People love it, it
hits. I mean, whoever came up with this was a such a genius.
And we saw $147 million value value transfer of Bitcoins. I
mean, all the it makes so much sense.
This is the beanie babies, but it's I've been looking for,
but it's gonna go on for at least two more years, maybe
three, the Beanie
Babies thing looked that way to what but when it collapsed, it
was just out of the blue. Right? But I don't think he can go that
far. I don't think I can, I would bet the fact let's put it
down. I would bet it's less than two years this thing is done.
You're saying more than two years, or what
I'm saying two to three years. And actually it's until all 21
million Bitcoins are
actually what you would that's not right, because when all 21
million are in play, then you can't make any more it should go
up more
in mind. But I think the the supply and demand because then
we'll actually I think the beauty is then it'll go into
reverse, then it'll then it'll start to split and we'll see
derivatives and we'll see you know, micro Satoshis or whatever
milli bits or whatever that you want to call it. And I'm going
to I'm thinking I should open up a Bitcoin thing for the daily
source code. And I'll publish the the The the address, so
anyone can can check and I won't sell any, I won't spell a single
one. And for the next three years, every single time I get a
new Bitcoin one, regardless of price, whether it's $1 or
$10,000, I'll do a new show. And I will not sell them until all
the Bitcoins have been produced or right, right until all of
them have been mined, and I'm getting rid of everything. And
with any luck, I would be 100 millionaire. Do I think I'm
gonna
do I would say I would go for
it. Yeah. Because no one's gonna say like, for the Beanie Baby
craze started at parently in 1995, and went through 99, and
then correct crashed, went along with the.com phenomenon. So
these things are always in parallel. So I would have to say
five, so as a four year cycle, in terms of a fractal, it's four
years of popularity. And how long has a Bitcoin thing been in
play? To the extreme? It has? Maybe a year?
If you really look at the extreme under a year, yeah.
Okay, well, then you would be right, it should go for three
years more, and become completely crazy if it's going
to follow the pattern of Beanie Babies because Beanie Babies
were around. I mean, they really began in earnest and 93 took a
couple years before they started catching on them the fad, where
you had TV stations, actually an entire network on the dish
network that was devoted to buying and selling Beanie
Babies. It lasted a couple of years, and they were selling
these things like crazy. And all these and the nut balls that
were involved in collecting Beanie Babies. For years, the
whole the whole thing was a four year fractal. And we have this
thing maybe I think I first started hearing about this to
this extreme about a year ago. So yeah, yeah, you might be
right about the three years it could go on for three more years
that would be so it wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea to buy
one for 900 bucks.
I'm not gonna buy I haven't bought and I'm not buying Oh,
you already got him. I want people to get mine
one. You I mean, you could probably mine one year and a
half.
Hey, I got one. I got a cooler.
No, I'm gonna know you have one.
You gotta you use the software to mine it and pooping and then
all of a sudden it's like, Oh,
give me a bit guy.
So here was something that in this interview that now although
I looked it up, and maybe I'm misunderstanding because of the
Russian accent, because the Federal Election Commission has
not allowed this to happen, and she says they have. But if this
happens, then bitcoin is going to go to Amelia I was surprised
to learn earlier that the US Federal Election Commission said
that Bitcoin could now be legally accepted as political
donations. And the question I would like to ask you is whether
you see any potential for using Bitcoin as, as a political
instrument, for example, for expanding the US influence
around the world, in a fashion similar to which the US dollar
is now being used.
Did you imagine if you could accept campaign donations
through Bitcoin, you imagine?
Yeah, I can imagine the corruption.
Exactly. So it's in everybody's interest to say, Yeah, this is a
VAT. This is a very valid, this is very valid as a currency. And
we should be able to take donations with it. For
elections. Yeah. And oh, no, no, this, you know, what, Fred, we
are keeping to our, our standpoint, that this is not a
currency. But as a gain. Wow, this is this is big. It's much
bigger than I ever thought.
You know, what's interesting about this, again, the cycle and
the fractal is that if if the Bitcoin thing actually just we
say it just started when it was at that during the Silk Road,
period, we'll say that's the moment or that era era Silk Road
era, it's when it began, it's gonna go for years. That really
does take us to the 2017 market crash.
I like that thing which follows that thinking yeah,
it follows the Beanie Baby prelude to the.com crash
so we could be spot on to 1000s Oh, what's what's going on here
on my 2017 Yeah, now now no big one but the cool thing is no
matter what happens, you know, Silk Road or you know, bitcoins
stolen all of it's like the sixth like the warning on a
cigarette packs.
And we haven't, here's a red book prediction. A Bitcoin Dooku
as long as these magazines are still in business, the Bitcoin
logo on the cover of Time magazine who was a man of the
year.
Thing of the year. Nice. Now it would be subtle Toshi Nakamoto
as men of the other have a shadow, because we don't know, a
shadowy outline of an Asian fellow and a Bitcoin logo. Yeah,
I think you're absolutely right. But but just like, we know that
you when you say you can get anal leakage you know, you might
know mine, you have suicidal thoughts, smoking these
cigarettes will give you lung cancer, which looks like this on
the package. People go out and buy more they wanted more. So
here's the latest PR for Bitcoin, which is just it's so
well done. I'm jealous that you and I didn't come up with this,
John.
The latest controversial site to surface from the dark web is
assassination markets, a crowdfunding service that lets
people anonymously contribute Bitcoin currency towards the
assassination of public figures. So far, there are six names
proposed on the sites with the chairman of the US Federal
Reserve, Ben Bernanke, being the highest price target with over
$70,000 against his name. The list also includes US President
Barack Obama and the director of the National Security Agency,
when contacted by click both the US Secret Service and the FBI
declined to comment on whether they're investigating the site.
So essentially, they've somebody one of these groups is set up a
honeypot half kind of genius, if you think about
the whole thing is genius. So I'm getting
a honeypot to find some, whatever idiot is contributing
to this is, you know, gets what they deserve. As far as I can
tell, I'm
in I'm going all in. I'm going
to contribute what do you mean going all in you're going to
contribute to Bernanke is being shot oh,
I'm becoming a full fledged member of the Bitcoin community
John. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to be have a bunch
of coins I do. But but I want more and more and more than you
don't want to sell them and 1000 You want to wait until 20? Like
I would say the January 2016. Get out genuine, IV hotter than
than ever. It looks like they're gonna double again. Yeah, get
out
now. At least 220 300 For sure. But I'll publish the address.
Well, I
would say 10 grand 10 grand.
Alright, so I'll publish it so everyone can see what what, what
I have, and I won't. I won't sell anything until until
January 2016. And I'll do shows.
I think then you can retire. We can close. Shut down.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm taking you all out for
Russian hookers and blow in Vegas, making it rain bitches.
How many bitcoins Do you have?
I'd rather not say, because that's not a good idea. Or
on the show. I think it's like eight. Yeah.
Because if you know if people know how many add them on come
and kill me for it, or steal all my computers in a
million dollars at the highest that what I believe to be the
highest price me that 10 grand maybe so that's where I'm going
to work from the go to 20 grand in your
you gotta gotta leave, I got a couple of years, I can work for
more and then I can retire in the lap of luxury. That's
presuming someone will give me dollars for my bitcoins at the
time.
The only you know, the hit. The problem with doing this is is
hanging on to the bitter end is that you freak. You're at some
point, I would say in 2015, which is just a couple years
from now. I'll be fine with sell half my stash. Let
me just explain one thing, the most. I was most unhappy in my
life when I was rich. So I'm not really even wanting to be rich.
And I am
unhappy as a rich person very. Oh, no, not
me. Not I thought I was happy. But in retrospect, in hindsight,
it's you're not happy? No, it's a hassle. That big ass hassle
unless you put your money away. Never look at it.
The Oh, this is about nobody does at the end of managing
their money. It's
just what you're always, this is what you're always doing. Well,
you know, we could we could rent the yacht for a week. It's only
$200,000. But well, what else could I do with that money? I
mean, that's literally what you go through in your head. It's
the stupidest conversation. It's not, it's bad. It's, I really
did not enjoy it. In retrospect, I thought it was great and
living it up.
But you're living it up? Yeah,
I'd spent I spent all my money over a 10 year period. Best
thing I ever did. So so I really don't care. So I'm going to put
a technical indicator in which you say is what is it 2016?
January one 2016 or $10,000? And that's when I'll sell. And then
everybody it's Vegas. It's not the way it works? No, it will
work that way. Because I don't care. I really don't know maybe
if you really have that kind of fortitude. But most people have
a 10 it could go to 20 it could they say it's gonna go to 20 I'm
not going to sell it at 10 could go to 20 is 20 Sell it sell it
No, no, no, no, no, I'm keeping it because they said it's gonna
go to 40 I'm going to keep it because it could go to 40 Yeah,
it's gonna go to 40 That's the ticket. And then the next thing
you know it's five bucks but that's
not me because I don't care. Okay, well, if you say so. I
mean, if you look at remember that little remember sorry, that
little extra airmen that we did with the Silk Road and I bought
some contraband. Yeah. What was it that you bought? Yeah, it was
contraband that now is like, that was a very expensive $900.
Bag. But I don't think of it that way. I think, yeah, I
really enjoyed those drugs. Zia, I just don't care. I really
don't. So those will be the technical indicators. And I'm
all in. And All
right, so keep it. We'll update the technical indicators as
necessary.
I mean, I we need to live off of no agenda donations, so we're
never gonna do Bitcoins for that, because that's dangerous.
Yeah, well, yeah. No, never. Yeah,
yeah. No, it's no I think it's dangerous. I don't want to do
that. We agreed. Do you have you changed?
No, I have not.
Are you changing your tune now?
No, absolutely not. I'm gonna stick with the the old fashioned
way. I'm with you, though. I'm the way George Bush would have
it. Don't send us your bitcoins. Send us your cash.
We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets
or water or Bitcoin danger cash.
I'm going to show my son moved by donate to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
I mean, we might as well do it. This is gonna be a short list
anyway. Because guess what? No bitcoins here.
Right? No, millions start
with the E N. Darling. 12345. And he's in my town of Port
Angeles, Washington, Washington. And
this is our our limoncello, babes. Brother, I think
something like that. I think longtime douchebag freeloader
Boehner pirate, please de douche.
Let me do that right away. You've been de deuced
this amount is equal to just over $1 per episode since I
started listening. I was getting sick of Alex Jones seed
commercials and pretentious radio lab crap. Have
you ever heard that? Radiolab? No. From NPR? No, it's kind of
like this. So we investigated Bitcoin. And we talked to this
guy. That's kind of how the show goes. Anyone who's heard the
show will agree with me.
Okay, so I Google searched for the best podcasts in the
universe and randomly found the show. Does that work? Does that
work? First I thought the morning zoo effects and corny
ITM BS was all serious. I barely made it through the intro until
Adam casually mentioned Whitney Houston. You had me at
Illuminati sacrifice.
If you Google best podcast in the universe that we do show up
as the top I'll see if we do best podcast. Just bet best
podcast what happens then? Podcast Awards.

weeks you don't need to go tweeting saying
hey, if five shows ago I still don't have
that same guy
to the guy keeps showing up. I don't know what to do about it.
I want to talk some common core. Yeah, I think so. I think it's a
it's important I what I will not do because it just makes you
just crazy is put everybody's examples that I get through
email on the show. There's just no time for that. But it's a
couple Oh, no, yes. Well, first of all, all of them are in the
show notes, every single one of them. And I have what I've
uncovered some stuff now that it really just, it blew me away.
Okay, let me let me see where should I start? We'll do emails
later. Okay. There is something called the someone. And you have
to see the whole video. It's, it's some parts are interesting,
the Freedom Project is a now that's a religious group. But
they've latched on to the common core thing very, very early on.
And they uncovered a document, which I now have in my
possession, which is produced by the Department of Education, and
really shows you what the the the idea is behind the Common
Core. And I of course, I've taken this document, I've marked
it up in multiple places, I'm gonna give you John, a URL in a
minute, so you can take a look at it. But I don't want you
distracted while I get this started. The title of this is
the it's the critical factors for success in the 21st century.
This is done in February of 2013. The US Department of
Education, this is the common core. And the idea behind the
Common Core is and when I saw this, like things popped into
place for me, promoting so common core, promoting grit,
tenacity, and perseverance, grit, tenacity, and
perseverance.
Right? Yes.
Now, we'll get into what this means. But this report was
developed under the guidance of the US Department of Education.
And of course, the authors want to thank, my goodness, a whole
slew of people, including the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, the just goes on and on. We'll get to some of the
foundations in a moment. But this document talks about the
key things that our children need, and that is these grit,
tenacity and perseverance now,
is this from the from the Department of Education during
the Arne Duncan era? Yes, this is from this from February, this
is from this year. Okay. So this year, so it is the idiot from
Chicago r&d. Yes, sir.
Okay, in the executive summary, I'm not going to read
everything, but I have to do some of the important points so
you can understand what we're talking about how can we best
prepare children and adolescents to thrive in the 21st century,
an era of achievement gaps that must be closed for the benefit
of everyone in society, rapidly evolving, technology, demanding
and collaborative STEM knowledge work, changing workforce needs
and economic volatility?
I'll create stem in there like that?
Well, this is basically saying we need that new kind of people
a new kind of worker.
Yeah, because there's no jobs, there's volatility equals no
jobs.
There's a growing movement to explore the potential of the non
cognitive factors, attributes, dispositions, social skills,
attitudes, and intrapersonal resources, independent of
intellectual ability that high achieving individuals draw upon
to accomplish success. If you didn't understand what that
meant, it says in this brief, we take a close look at a core set
of non cognitive factors, grit, tenacity, and perseverance. And
this is what your children will be taught. And when I heard the
word grit, John, I went holy crap. I have heard this word
1000 times 1000 times I tell you, you know who uses this word
all the time? Who the president? I take you back to February of
this year when this was released when when I first heard it in
his State of the Union.
Tonight. thanks to the grit and determination of the American
people. There is much progress to report.
All right. I just grabbed some random things from September
after a decade in which they'd already been working harder and
harder just to get by. It was a crisis from which we're still
trying to recover. But thanks to the grit and determination, the
American people were steadily recovering
and I just pulled one from October think about
a globalisation and technology means you can go just about
anywhere. But there are a whole lot of reasons you ought to come
here. We're not just the world's largest market. We're growing.
thanks to the grit and resilience of the American
people. We've cleared away the rubble from the financial
crisis. And over the past three and a half years our businesses
have created more than seven and a half million new jobs. So
this is very interesting this use of the word grit And it's
this is not by coincidence, we know that this guy never does
anything. Coincidentally, this is coordinated. And I will show
and this
definitely. And I think it's interesting to use grit and
determination, grit determination, they change it
the grit and resilience.
From the go back to the document, what will it take to
shift educational priorities to promote not only content
knowledge, but also grit, tenacity and perseverance. This
is an important and exciting time to stop, take stock and
prepare to move forward. new and emerging trends and research
policy programmes and technology are providing unprecedented
opportunities. And it goes on to say persistence is now part of
the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. The popular
media also reports on interest in these factors. No, the
popular media is not doing that. And then, oh, by the way, John,
go to grit.currie.com. Do that now before anyone else in the
chat room sees it and you can download the marked up document
because now's the time, you'll want to start looking through
that, as I have a couple of clips to share with you. The
first thing I will share with you is the Common Core Data
driven instruction. d d i is what this called. So this is a
document that shows how big data drives your kids education. And
this is a local, I think this might be Tennessee or Missouri.
And here's a few educators talking about how great data
driven instruction is, and how fabulous it is for these people
who used to be called Teachers can use this grow Microsoft.
They even have a Microsoft tool.
Driven instruction gives our teachers an opportunity to gauge
where students are their strengths, their weaknesses,
determine what we need to target for individual students that are
missing particular areas in the curriculum. An example would be
like this is you know, we take our vehicles to the shop once a
lot, I get the old check. And why do we do that, because when
we make sure our cars keep running, we don't do it once a
year.
This is just our children are like our cars. And like our
trucks, you got to take him to the shop once a year
haven't checked out, haven't kicked tires,
we're waiting to the end of the year, something's going wrong
with the car and it won't run smoothly. Well, that's very
similar what we do with data driven instruction every four
and a half weeks, we have common assessments. And from that data,
our teachers break the data down with the principal and the
curriculum team is well, we look at where our students are
performing really good at and we celebrate those growth, we
celebrate the growth, celebrating with parents, with
students, teachers and make a community aspect. And then we
look at the areas that students have what we call hotspots.
Little Johnny may not be doing so well in math,
Oh, little Johnny, for a particular
month, he may have some issues with fractions and that data,
the 4.5 common assessments we take will pick that up. When it
picks that up, our team immediately goes to work to
determine what Johnny did not get. We're going to reteach
those objectives to Johnny, we're gonna pull him out 20
minutes a day, we're gonna work with him,
we take them out, take them out back beat the crap out
of him rental support is probably one of the backbones of
what makes us work. And we make sure that our cars running
smoothly, if you will, we want to make sure that
back to the car analogy,
every student is successful. And that's your your student. That
score is minimal to your students. That score is
advanced. Every student is important. Every student can
learn every student can grow
guys really stretch size. So this goes on and on and on. And
then but the end of the day is we don't want to discourage
anyone everybody wins.
Yeah, Everyone's a winner. Everyone's share a secret. Can I
mention one thing here? Yes. Which is interesting. If you
look at if you go to the wiki page and look up grit, which has
a page dedicated, essentially, the definition of grit is
perseverance, and tenacity. This is essentially the same word
repeated three times.
Yes. Well, if you read the document that I just gave you
the thing for grit, tenacity and perseverance are multifaceted
concepts, encompassing goals, challenges, and the ways of
managing these. We integrate the big ideas from several related
definitions in the literature to a broad, multifaceted definition
of grit, for the purpose of this report, perseverance to
accomplish long term or higher order goals in the face of
challenges and setbacks, engaging the students
psychological resources, such as their academic mindset, effort,
control and strategy and tactics. What so not
only this, this is all coming if you look at the donors to this,
that people are behind
before we go there, because I have I also did the donor thing.
And it's important that we that we talk about the donors behind
this crap.
Well, at first, I just want to generalise Bill Gates was a
lousy student. He didn't drive was impossible in high school.
He couldn't stay in college. He doesn't know shit about
education.
Well, if you if if you look at the other at the other
organisations that are in on this, it's the Raikes
Foundation. Yeah.
Who yeah Freek Bill Gates, his bitch. Here's the run right his
foundation. And then he first he was late. He was the guy that
should have been the CEO now of Microsoft, but gates took them
over to the foundation and had him be the CEO of the Gates
Foundation. So the right so essentially, Bill, knocked on
his door and said, Hey, you're given to this. Okay, exactly. Do
some work.
What's it and then we have the Stotsky foundation?
That when I'm not familiar with you might be,
yeah, no, I Well, I have it all in the show notes, of course,
the Lumina Foundation. So the stop ski Foundation, which is
interesting, if you go to stop ski.org St. upski.org. Since
this report was released, which was February, you'll see an
update from Joyce and Larry stops key in September 2012.
After carefully considering our commitments and tensions in life
circumstances, we decided to wind down the work of the stop
ski foundation. So this foundation, that financed Common
Core has been closed, I might want to mention with $111
million in the bank. So they've shuttered with all that money
they raised are putting themselves God knows, the more
family is in on this. That's Gordon Moore from the Moore's
law. So that's all Silicon Valley stuff now. So back to the
Freedom Project. If you look at this document that I gave you,
John, the grid.curry.com, and you'll scroll down, you'll see
something called effective sensors that is a part of this
effective sensors. There's actually pictures in the
document of what effective sensors are, that these children
will be hooked up to with their free laptop and or tablet slash
iPad. Here from this presentation video is an
explanation of the effective sensors.
These are effective sensors that the Department of Education has
developed and plans to use. That's what this document is all
about is how do we measure the students effectively? They there
is a facial expression camera. There is a pods analysis seat,
there is a pressure mouse and there is a wireless or the
incoming Scientologists.
You stepped on it but yeah, so there's a facial expression
camera, a posture seat, a pressure mouse, and there's even
a strap that you put on your wrist, so that you can see metre
Yes, e metre correct. Now, what I liked about this video and
everyone are these are religious guys who put this video together
but they're making the drawing the right conclusion. This ties
into the bullying that we've been tracking for so long. Not
only is the bullying, to stifle First Amendment freedom of
speech, it is also about homosexuality or, as I might
say, hetero flexibility and it will tie right into bullying.
Listen to the conclusion that has drawn here, which I think is
correct. It will happen this way. And it's particularly with
these effective censors
and under the guise of anti bullying legislation, if the
government is teaching a lesson or the government teachers
teaching a lesson about homosexual relationships,
homosexual marriage, and your kid makes a face or your kid
slouches in our seat. Or York, the pressure on your kids mouse
intensifies. Right? Or blood pressure and pulse go
skyrocketing. Well, then, it's good fair to reason that your
kid has the wrong attitude about homosexuality. Okay,
stop, stop. That's Clip of the Day right? There
are 16 more seconds. I'll
tell Okay, play the 16 seconds on followed immediately. That
kid
is being taught to be a bully. And if your kid learned from
you, mom and dad that your faith tells you that homosexuality is
wrong. Then you're the bullies. You're the ones who are abusing
that kit. These are the kinds of things that these things will
mesh. Yeah. And wow, yeah.
All right. Okay, you get you win today's show.
Oh, but wait, there's more.
I'm sure but you're right there.
Here's here's
the kid squinted. He's got to be taken away from his parents.
Yeah. What are we living in Sparky flinched
with about the gay thing. here is there's a new meme in here
that I had not heard of. But it's all a part of Common Core.
We had a parent talk with us at a recent meeting just last week.
And the correct answer to one of the Common Core test was, I
think the problem was as simple as six times seven. And the
correct way to answer that was to draw 42 circles. I think the
child was in third, third or fourth grade.
And the child wrote 42, for the answer, and got it wrong.
Because at the lesson was the mother told us that math is your
being too close minded? We want you to be fluent in math. In
other words, we want you to be able to talk about what math is,
we want you to be able to explain why math is useful. We
are not interested in you being able to do math, it's much less
important to get the right answer that the word that she
used in terms of the way it was explained to her at her school
was estimative. Math, that the purpose of math is to be able to
estimate to be in a ballpark to be able to have a sense of how
math should function.
Yeah, it's kind of kind of there.
My god, that's another clip.
No, I can't accept it. Because I want these segments to flow and
it'll just keep going. Here's now here's a couple of crazy
things that have come in from parents. And this is becoming a
Twitter meme. Now Common Core, I guess, with the hashtag. This is
a here's a screenshot of the answer key for questionable
homework assignments from Common Core for third grade eighth
grade grammar, and just listen to the questions. So here it is
present possessive nouns directions, make each sentence
less wordy, by replacing the underlined words with a
possessive noun phrase, write the sentence on the line. So I
will give you the key the problem and the answer. And it's
not so much about the question and the the answer as it is
about what the question is saying. To one, the job of a
president is not easy. The correct answer should be John.
The job of the President is not easy. The Will it would be the
president's job is hard. It
is not easy.
That's what it was.
Well, you that was the original thing. The President's not easy.
Right. But you did it correctly. The job of a president is not an
underling, the job of a president is underlined. So is
not easy stays the same.
Oh, okay.
The people can be the president's job. A president's
job.
A president? A, the President's job is not easy.
The people of a nation do not always agree. And the answer
would be a nation's people do not always agree. Yeah. The
choices of the president affect everyone. This is very
basically taking people away from using the passive voice.
But they're doing it using propagandistic. Yes, yes, yes.
So instead of doing it just normally, the boy meets the
girl. Yes.
Let's do a couple of things.
President does this. The President does that and the
President knows everything.
No, no, no. He makes sure the laws of the country are fair.
Isn't that what he does? I never knew this.
The commands of government officials must be obeyed by all.
The wants of an individual are less important than the well
being of the nation. This is this is this is what kids are
being taught third graders, third graders. Okay.
Now this is astonishing. Yeah. Here's something
that it took me 15 minutes to figure out. You know how you
solve this question? Like, if John is travelling on the train
from Baltimore, and P and the train is going 67 miles an hour
and Pete is coming in from New York, doing 100 miles an hour,
they will both meet in Florida at what time? You know, these
these problems we used to have in school.
Yeah, it sounds like it'd be easier to answer now with
estimative math.
Well check this out the the assignment is cross out the
extra numerical information and solve. A gymnastic meet is two
hours long. It has eight competitors and each competes in
four events, how many events will be scored? And I had to
look at this for like 15 minutes until I figured out that what we
used to have to do with like three variables.
Yeah, well, just in this case, I My guess would be you cross out
the the length of the
two right? That's it. What is this? Why even put that in
there?
going cross it out is dumb.
It's completely insane. And then we have, let me say, there's a
whole bunch of stuff in the show notes, just tonnes and tonnes of
bubbles. Let me do
all propaganda, brain training, the crossing out the thing has
some function. So you have spurious information that you
get rid of. And so you're you get to the core of the problem
of the of the whatever it is, and then you obey the
government's orders, or something like that. Something
like that going on. Here is a, not what you're
told not specifically Common Core, but it comes from my big
campus. It might be campus does surveys that our parents are not
asked if they if, if it's okay for the kids to take these
surveys. You just take the survey. This is from Leo's
elementaries to a school. I'm not quite sure where Leo's is.
Welcome to Leo's LM and it's our online by the way that Google
Forms document Welcome to Leo's elementary PBIS student survey.
Tell us what you think about our school. Please answer these
questions to tell us about you and your school. Answer each
question honestly, Your answers will be kept private, no one
will be able to tell you that your answers came from you.
Thanks for your help. Of course you inputting it on Google from
God knows what machine at school and I'm going to scroll down
here to what do you do after school or on weekends? Select
all that apply play outside playing sports team dance play
an instrument acting plays homework at tutoring after
school programme or read during the past 12 months have you seen
another student with a weapon like a gun or knife at this
school? Remember your answer will be private. Yeah, I'm sure
I feel safe in my classroom agree disagree. I feel safe in
the hallways of my school. agree disagree. I feel safe when I
walk outside of school. And there's more things have this
year of kids don't mean things to you this year have kids on
the bus doesn't mean mean things to you. Have you been bullied
this year at school? Have you told a parent or teacher about
it? Yes. No, I haven't been bullied. Have you been bullied
this year at school and told an adult did the bullying stop?
Have you been in a fight at school this year? Which you and
the other person hit or touched one another? Have you ever been
robbed at the school? Have you ever smoked a cigarette even one
or two puffs? That's ready to
drink beer.
If you have drank beer alcohol before, how many times have you
drank in the past 30 days? What kind of English is that? If you
have drank beer or alcohol before, how many times have you
drank in the past 30 days? Is that correct? English?
I think it is technically?
Have you ever taken an illegal drug? How many days a week? Do
you usually eat breakfast? It just goes on and on and on.
Thank you for taking the survey. And it's a Google powered by
Google Drive. Yeah, where all your information is secret and
confidential is bullshit. Then we have I have the digital
documents just go look at him in the show notes benchmarking for
success ensuring the US student students receive a world class
education. Five steps toward building globally competitive
education systems one upgrade state standards by adopting a
common core Well, we've passed that. And it keeps on going
action four hold schools and systems accountable through
monitoring interventions and support to ensure consistently
high performance drawn upon international best practices.
This is slave training people. This is not school. This is
totally slave training. And it really really needs to be
started. We may be too late. This has been going on so long.
We didn't know about this.
Yeah, but the February 2013 things means that that's when
they shifted into high gear. And that means that we're still
within a year of the real push. So I think there's at least we
can cause a stir we're
gonna have to support the teachers like Luke who sent me
an email add on your reporting on Common Core Standards has
been spot on throughout my college education. Now my first
year of teaching, I felt very irked by Common Core standards
and the systems that are in place in the public education
system. From teaching in Nevada and then moving to Colorado, it
seems like the education system is a carbon copy. Teachers and
students are truly being turned into drones. I started to do
some research after listening to your commentary about Pearson
Education. I remembered some fairly expensive tests called
Praxis test that I had to take in college, and then another
test later on in order to get a teaching job. I thought Pearson
must have some involvement in this and well well then I found
an ETS practice Tutorial website made by Pearson. That's practice
tutorial.com. I also found that interesting PDF that's the
benchmarking PDF that I put in the in the shownotes. The
publication of the benchmarking tests was funded by the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation. Basically teachers in their job
securities are held accountable by the scores the students
receive on these standardised tests. The publication boils
down to the US having to compete with other countries for the
best test scores. Well, there you go, we should just have
every country test score Bonanza, somehow meeting these
benchmarks as opposed to Sabre already doomed economy. Hope
this might provide some more insight to the whole Common Core
Standards abomination. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. And
yes, this is exactly what is going on.
Well, it's more than that, obviously, because of the
watching your facial movements and all the rest of it. This is
I think slave training is exactly
what we're talking about here. Truly, truly, truly.
So you got to do it. Yeah. How do you manage you got 300
million people. And you have to manage these people to so they
can so they don't tear up the place and evolve things. Of
course, you don't want them taking your your stuff. This is
always the big deal with the elites don't take my stuff. And
Gates has got a lot of stuff. He's got more than the average
bear. So he would be more inclined to find these
programmes important. Because if anybody doesn't want people
taking his stuff, it's got to be bill. So yeah, depressing
report. Thank you very much.
Hey, fourth graders in Dupo, Illinois, are reading a
biography of Barack Obama is raising eyebrows among Sinclair
county parents the book which supplements the school's common
core curriculum, blames television for the negative
behaviours the first African American President picked up as
a teen quote, When Barry looked in the mirror, he saw a young
black man, but he didn't know how to be black. And no one was
there to teach him. He decided to act like the black characters
he saw on TV. He started acting tough, he cursed. Was that what
it meant to be black? As he got older, he started smoking and
drinking, he tried drugs. Was that what it meant to be black?
And then this book goes on to this to it segue straight into
the president. Some people said Americans weren't ready for that
much change. Sure, Barack was a nice fellow, they said, but
white voters would never vote for a black president. Other
angry voices were raised by Iraq's former pastor called the
country of failure. God would damn the United States for
mistreating its black citizens. He said, This is in the book.
The white people wouldn't have it. It's very, very sad that
this has to go out. Yeah. This is very, very, very, very sad
that this is going on. And I would say you need if you have
kids, you need to pull them out of school right now.
homeschooling,
it's the only way. Yeah, I mean, there's this page that I just
had this
you want this? I mean, some parents might want it the glow
robot kid.
died I you know, I'm I'm really not sure how to continue. With
our, with our analysis of this, I think we just might as well
stop because it's what it is. You know that you can send me as
many stories as you want. It's all more of the same. But But
people have to stop this from happening. Grit is the
Kimberley depressing? Well, that kind of puts a crimp on the
show. Oh, well, I had a blitz clip thing lined up. Actually,
it's actually do you want to do you want to click?
Yeah, you know, let's do something else. I was noticing
some some time about subtle propagandists to kinds of
weirdness. As you know, I like to sometimes go, you had this
music you were playing earlier, that would be playing in the
back of what we're like, we're chatting away and there'd be
some music playing.
Yeah, hold on a second. I can get Yeah. So why would you even
talk while
the music plays? So it sounds like you know, we're producing
the show. So, Adam, yes, yeah. So how was your flight back?
Well,
the flight was almost uneventful, except for the lady
who started screaming about her husband having a heart attack.
Did they by the way, do an emergency landing.
Ah, no, but I was prepared for it.
You know, I was in three emergency landings. We had one
that were this one was I'm flying from China to the United
States, and they somebody had a heart attack. And so they landed
in Tokyo, but you couldn't get off the plane because of
passport control. And it was curfew for taking off. And so
they're gonna have to leave us on the plane overnight. Sitting
on the tarmac, which is true. Yay. But so somehow I don't know
how it happened. But somehow somebody paid off somebody and
we took off. Yeah. Anyway, that's my story. Yeah. So we got
out of there and it was like, oh, geez, that was that was
gonna stop the music.
What am I doing with the music?
I just want to say this is this is kind of like we could
probably do the whole show with some sort of music bed. Oh,
yeah. I've never noticed that before. But the top show on
television, which is NCIS has a music bed. To the hole that is
not only weird, but until I made this clip, which is the weird
NCIS clip. I have never heard it before. Sorry, wait, wait. And
now I have to explain the clip. And the only reason I heard the
bad was because there was a long silence to silence spots in here
and then you could hear the bed going. Now the way it is, was an
NSA woman she comes in, and she and Abby who's the lab tech
says, I don't know who's listening in and blah, blah,
blah. And the woman says who could be listening in and then
there's a long pause and Abby writes on a piece of paper NSA
and holds it Ah, okay run in the world and but you get to hear
the bed. And then the woman who's at NSA doesn't do that.
And then AP does another pause, and Abby writes B S, and then
goes on to his end, but what I want you to listen for is it
forget the the actual bullshit propaganda, but this musical
bed, it's not it's like it's like a kind of music that is. I
swear, I've never heard this before, but I think the whole
show has got it going on talking to me.
No, I was talking to myself. And, and but, you know, I'm not
talking anymore because who knows who's listening? But do
you think listening?
Oh, no. Don't believe everything you hear. I mean, we don't
randomly listen to conversations and phone calls. am serious. We
need a court order just like you've we've had a few bad
apples, but we're good people out to uphold the law and make a
difference. So you haven't bugged my phone. I can prove I'm
here to help. I drew this using DC examiner's description of our
bogus FBI agent put into the NSA database and got a hit on the
guy named Rudolph Stalin.
Stalin is an American citizen with a history of international
espionage and strong political ties to Russia. Nice moustache.
I wonder if it's supposed to be ironic.
Yeah, I think it's covering up the crap acting. And probably
some other audio anomalies they couldn't figure out.
Well, I think I'm gonna have to go back now I don't have because
I always erase these things when I make the clip but is the
intent because I've never heard this before. And I don't know
why. And I'm wondering if the entire show doesn't have a
musical bed for some reason, and I'm wondering how many TV shows
do
I've never liked his MTV always wanted to do that? And always
said No, when I'm talking I don't want music under me. I
don't want don't want distraction. As always the same
music. I don't like it at all.
Well, I don't like it now that I once I heard it, but when I only
heard it because of that pause. Then I started now I'm hearing
it. I think it just is. Yeah, I agree. I think it's totally
distracting. And it's like kind of odd because it's just a vamp
it's the same thing over and over as grinding away. There
used to be a little on order show if people are gonna watch
them or reruns, they have a they have a track running underneath
that thing. When whenever they're out of the office, and
they're in the rock routing them out. And the track consists of a
dog barking woof woof woof and then there's some some just
random street noise and then there's a siren and then the dog
barks again and this is going on very subtly in all the all the
shots where they're roaming around the city. And it's and
it's, it's really it's a short thing, and they play it over and
over and over throughout the show to give iPads Yeah,
I think this would this you can probably trace this back to
Miami Vice because that's really which the title The working
title for Miami Vice was MTV cops. And I think that that's
you know, we had John Hamer doing all the the soundtrack for
that and everything every moment had this music I think you can
trace it back to that that's kind of when this started. But
you know what, I don't watch any of that. Ever.
Yeah, I know you say that papers a reality show you why Hell
yeah,
I got a bombshell email here. John bombshell. bombshell. This
right here. This email will make listening to the no agenda show.
Valuable. You want some inside information?
I'm waiting for you to read it. Adam for
variety of reasons. If you read this on the show, please keep my
name quiet. Although my co workers will likely know who it
is. Oh, I work for the company that provides the storage back
end of healthcare.gov. Well, 99% of the government actually, but
that's the big glaring one right now a couple of things. The
initial slowdowns well I don't discount it. and completely
agree with your analysis from the software side. While I still
don't think it'll work, one of the initial issues was they had
gonna love this, a cable plugged into the wrong port. Without
going into too much detail, we have a port that allows for out
of band control of the storage controller that shares kernel
space with the login console. They had plugged the network
cable into that port, which spammed it to the brink that it
effectively flooded the login console, which brought the rest
of it to its knees. Essentially, they were de dossing themselves.
We've only ever had this problem with one other customer which
oddly enough was themselves six months prior this week and a
part of the team that has to be on the bridge as they replaced
the platforms they purchased with higher end ones spare no
expense. Now we'll spare some they bought the mid range
platforms when really they needed the big boys. Even the
sales engineers pointed this out to them initially. What's funny
here is that I asked the account rep about backups. Should
something go horribly wrong? Oh, they said they don't have
backups. I started to laugh as this is absurd. But no they
don't. And I was told not to bring it up on the call as it
would make them put them in a bad light. Well, not sure it
could get much worse but what the hell? I guess if people can
sign in come Monday I'll eat my words about being software but I
have my doubts that this is going to be anything more than
pissing in the wind. Thank you for your courage.
Wow, stunner Shaka.
That's Oh no, but the plugging it into the wrong port really?
And no backups.
No backups is more is actually more of the scandal than
plugging into the wrong port you can unplug that put it some
place where it's supposed to be. But no backups. What kind of
methodology where's the CTO? Where's and that guy with the
boot with that COBOL and the speaking of in the in the
machine code
Don park they won't even let him testify. They won't even let him
tell us the
phone. Yeah, well I was thinking of a niche or a niche. Those two
guys you want
to do? You want to dig Kandra you want to do a Blitzer I
only have three I got three
high school USA our favourite show every Sunday we play a clip
up with the
bare feet. Yeah, teachers can be cool guys to Marsh know your
gun. Oh, that's right. Exciting, right. Well, a few of his
teachers have been a little spooked by some of these
students lately. I'm looking at you weirdo. So every teacher is
going to be carrying a gun from now on and I didn't sure school
safety. I couldn't be more excited. Neat. But what if a
teacher loses his or her temper Way ahead of you, buddy. Now
obviously we can't leave all you students completely defenceless,
like sitting ducks. So we decided we're all in on you to
what God's
This is so cool. I know right? Guns are the coolest.
Oh, all right. You heard it here. First game. The holders of
cool have spoken. When I call your name, come on out and pick
out your very own gun.
I can't put my finger on it. But something doesn't seem too cool
about this, Brad. I know
why this is great. I get to participate in the clip Blitz.
By the way it was this the new Common Core that I heard here.
The American Medical Association held on to its long standing
position that marijuana is a dangerous drug and a public
health concern. But doctors also recognised that federal efforts
to stop the use of pot have been ineffective. It called on the
feds and the states to come up with public health strategies to
cut the use of cannabis saying programmes are a better
alternative to helping people quit when compared to giving
them jail time. Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy son
of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, has no dedicated his life to
fighting the legalisation of pot. He praised today's decision
from the AMA saying it's time people listen to the medical
community, something he was preaching when he visited
Seattle in July to rail against legalisation rail
the message that there is no risk no harm to using marijuana
when all the medical evidence and literature all the
scientific research proves otherwise. Fast right
well crap marijuana gonna kill
dangerous dangerous dangerous I'd rather give
drugs out to people instead of you know that you want to sell
more drugs. In fact, this report is a part of obviously a public
relations campaign to get more people on drugs ADHD report. Oh,
crap.
I slipped. I knew you were going for it and I slipped I'm sorry.
Ah,
I'm slipping up twice. Hey, blitz we're getting good luck
we're getting Blitz.
Number of children with ADHD is rising. According to new numbers
from the CDC, more than one in 10 children are now diagnosed
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD
cases have been on the increase now for at least 15 years.
Experts think that's because more doctors are looking for
ADHD and more parents know about it. Well, many consider them the
good guys in the snack machine. And the major study says what
you heard about what
you're playing the next one, right? Well, it's all in one
thing. Oh, no play that we should have split split it off.
Because I did want to bring I did have a little segue. And the
next one should be nuts are good, which is what you were
just about to play. That's obviously a public relations
move. But I realised that there's some public relations
thing going on now because they did it with kale. With great
success. Yes, I still need more recipes people. But now they're
apparently doing it for nuts.
Many consider them the good guys in the snack machine. And the
major study says what you've heard about nuts is true, they
are good for you. The study followed 1000s of people for
three decades, it found that those who weighed seven or more
servings of nuts a week, were 20% less likely to die from
cancer and heart disease.
Less likely to die eat nuts. Honey,
I hear eat my nuts is really good to keep you alive. But
don't worry, because we can always make you a pre viver and
get you some new boobies. Well, I think that should do it, John,
unless you got something else for us in our
I mean, we do have a long clip which I'm gonna save you know,
Ray McGovern has been floating around on the on the TV and he's
an interesting character. But I but this clip these this clip is
so long it has to be for an end to show and we have a short show
and I'm gonna just gonna put it aside. Okay,
so we'll keep it we'll keep it. Okay. All
right. Wow. So much going on people. And I think we're pretty
much the only people talking about a lot of this stuff. Go
ahead and
no, you think we are the only people talking about almost all
of it. Yeah. If that we don't generally people always say what
are you going to talk about this you're gonna talk about it. And
I send them notes. You see the notes I say this is over covered
by the by the crackpot?
Already Yeah, the mainstream. The mainstream crackpots? Not
that like the good guys like us, right, man? Well, where to
start? We wouldn't actually need a 10 hour show just to get
through everything I have in the show notes, but it'll be there
