Hey, do what you got to do. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, January 2 2013. Time for your get my nation media
assassination Episode Five, Seven Niner. This is no agenda
mentoring mouth interest from sea to shining sea from FEMA
Region six and travel sites have an awesome tea house in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and northern Silicon Valley. Without further ado, I'm John C.
Dvorak. Hill.
Yeah, that's right, John. It is a brand new year, a brand new
month. Happy New Year to you Happy National Mentoring Month
2014.
Happy New Year to everyone out there listening to the stream,
the show on the podcast, the downloads, and everything
thereafter.
And it is National Mentoring Month. It's National internet
month. Oh, National Mentoring Month
or mentoring? Yes, prayer makes so much noise. About National
Mentoring Month. Well, I see why it's printing so many pages.
Well, this is by presidential proclamation. And as you know,
America is at its best when we lift each other up, when we
peruse over individual goals while never forgetting that we
are bound as one nation and as one people. If we carry the
spirit forward, if we take responsibility for our future
leaders and give them the tools to succeed, America's best days
will always lie ahead. Now therefore, I BARACK OBAMA,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution, the laws United
States do hereby proclaim January 2014 as National
Mentoring Month, and I call upon public officials, business and
community leaders, educators, podcasters and Americans across
the country to observe this month with appropriate
ceremonies, activities and programmes
it actually says podcasters though of
course it doesn't. But I mean, what's the difference?
Well, I'm just says I thought it could public
officials business and committee, aren't we business
and community leaders, educators leaders part? We're certainly
Americans across the country? Yes. Okay. But it's not just
national men. And I think we do we do mentor so I'm happy about
that. And that's good. It's also
been a number of people. Yeah, we have so many successful spin
offs of our podcast. Yeah.
And it is also National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention
Month. 2014 Yet again,
every year every month every day human trafficking only
we're only once a month only once a year for one month in one
month. Okay. Yeah. And once again, the no agenda show was
right in the sweet spot. We totally try to prevent people
from being slaves. Exactly. This is one anyone we work very hard
on this. Because modern day slavery is a global tragedy come
actually combating it. Would that be with two T's or one T
combating it? I think it's one okay, because it looks weird. It
makes you want to say, combating it. But yeah, okay. Combating it
requires international action. The United States is shining a
spotlight on the dark corners where it persists, such as the
United States, right there in your community in your own home,
placing sanctions on some of the worst abusers like the United
States government, giving countries incentives to meet
their responsibilities and partnering with groups that help
trafficking victims escape from their abusers grip. We are
working with other nations as they step up their own efforts,
and we are seeing more countries pass anti human trafficking laws
and improve enforcement. Please pay no attention to the 3
million people incarcerated working for almost free in our
prison system.
Which is a form of human trafficking if you want to take
it
to end slavery. Yes, and it is national stalking Awareness
Month. That's right. Every January we draw attention to a
crime that will affect one in six American women at some point
in their lives. Although young women are disproportionately at
risk, anyone can be a victim of stalking, regardless of age, sex
background and gender identity. Yeah, it's a fact. Yeah. And and
I guess what we're added to I'll say hi to the to the hunger
strikers outside of City Hall, here in Austin, Texas.
What's going on in Austin that they're striking.
There's a hunger strike. I posted about it on the blog
blog@curry.com Day Three I believe now for these gentlemen
they are going there on hunger strike until Austin stops
Florida eating its water.
Oh. All right. I didn't know they fluoridated. The water.
Isn't that
nuts that you have this lovey dovey rainbow and unicorn town?
And everything is you know all healthy and perfect and green
yet they toss all this fun fluoride in our water. I've
always found it to be peculiar.
Yeah, well, the Everglades a lot of peculiar stuff going on. I
want to if we could talk about the new year I want to get
congrat we have of course every town has one but they make it a
big deal. So there's only one the first baby born which I
think was born at least in our area two seconds after midnight
via a
woman that got you actually you you watch some mainstream news
or television? I did. I completely hidden. Not only did
I not see it, I hadn't heard I didn't even think about it.
Yeah, well, this one, I think was an MK Ultra mom. Oh,
wait a minute, hold on a second. Where's John C. Dvorak. Who are
you? You're an imposter. Did you just say it
sounded weird. And she had a message to tell us about what
the year is going to be like I reprises it at the end. So we
understand that what 2014 is all about
his deal on the 31st so you always know it could be a
December or January birthday, and he didn't know what's here.
What What shoes could then be, either, so lots of surprises. So
lots of surprises. So lots of surprises.
It's funny because I have some audio from the first baby born
dad. This is really That's creepy. How we do those clips.
Here's the dead someone's getting cornhole today. Sounds
like a recipe for success to me. That was the sister favourite
clip. To your right. Yeah, might as well. It's interesting.
Actually, the chat room is all excited as we stream this
programme live twice a week Thursdays and Sundays 9am. Gitmo
nation West time. The chatroom is all like, Hey, John ended the
year like in the chat room. You know, they're all excited that
you know that they're back in your good graces again.
Because they benefit we benefited from their input on
the last show and
you got really nice
on him. I said they did a great job they did. They dug up the
thing in the in in solid time the whole thing worked out fine.
It happens until until the they you know they turn it turn on us
again. But you'll be probably during this show.
Oh, it was it was interesting. Well, let me ask you first.
Well, I did I was in mind was a happy New Year. John. Would you
do with the new years do you ring it in with the family and
the alcoholic beverages?
Well, we run it in up in Port Angeles with family and some
champagne.
Very nice. We did the same we had the we we had champagne and
Miss Mickey made blinis and we were in bed at 1130
Yeah, this let's kill Jr. has the flu. So he slept right
through the news.
Now we we decided we were going to go to bed early and we were
actually asleep by 1130 We got up early on the first of January
started the new year off with a nice nature hike. We went to
Hamilton pools and and that was really refreshing. To to not
start off with a hangover or anything. I'm just boom.
You were asleep at midnight. Yes sir. Yes, sir. Yeah. I typed in
the military.
Yes, sir. Very nice. My bed was made.
Is there anybody here with us in charge? Yes, sir. Is sorry, sir.
I love you know, when someone asked me something like in the
store on the street for some it and it's automatic. And I know
it comes from my my upbringing, but I say Yes, ma'am. You can
see, particularly when when women younger than I yeah, they
give you the stink guy. No. And um, yes, ma'am. And they look at
me like, like, what do I look like? I'm 70 Yeah, it's just I'm
sorry. It just pops out. I can't help it. It's just what happens.
The I'm sorry, buzzkill gene, you're so sick. This is the flu
man. This is now of course, I had the flu. And a couple of
days, maybe I just had to lay down but they're really pouring
it on big time now. And instead of just saying, hey, once you
get the flu, like I had the swine flu, you'll recall in
2009, and it didn't kill me. And now that you know, I probably
caught the swine flu again, as Texas is orange on the map of
swine flu.
Yeah, you know, you guys are the target. Do you
know that every year between 50 and 200 Rhode Islanders died
because of the flu alone. And this year, it's the h1 in one
virus. That nasty swine flu
nasty swine flu. Hold on, we get to put trying, John, is that
nasty swine flu is not just that oldness then nasty swine flu
back in
oh nine. That's wreaking havoc and making everyone sick across
the country but everybody's
sick. John, are you sick? Are you sick yet? You gotta be sick
with nearby Massachusetts in New York already considered
widespread flu outbreak numbers. Some Rhode Island Health
officials say we're next
flu outbreak numbers make sure you check what outbreak stands
for. One thing we know Always that flu is in fact on its way
here. It's coming from the south. He's taking the A train,
the west and the north Rhode Island to the east. That's
water. It's just water. This is Rhode Island baby. Surrounded by
flu
and Health Director Dr. Michael fine says flu cases in nearby
Massachusetts are now considered widespread. And physician visits
for flu like symptoms here in Rhode Island are way up
flu like symptoms always gotta be careful with that one.
And doctor find says that means what?
They're way up there, though it's time to stop
procrastinating and get a flu shot. Especially if you're a
young adult.
Ah, see? Wasn't was not when they can't ask me a question
until I'm done with this report.
In a typical year, worry about the elderly and infants this
year around the country. We're seeing hospitalizations, and
even deaths in young adults.
What Where's this coming from? But what data are there? So we
have a pandemic? Outbreak not pandemic yet. But outbreak
numbers are up there's no connote no source of numbers.
But now young people not not infants and elderly, no young
people. Where's this coming to
a question about this? Something's baffling me? Sure.
You remember, we did a extensive coverage of the swine flu fiasco
for about a year probably. Yeah. Because of the woman from the
World Health as a pandemic.
They change now let's let's do it properly. They changed the
qualifications of what is a pandemic. There were people
inside the World Health Organisation and this has been
reported by mainstream media as well although summarily who had
a vested interest in propagating the you must get vaccinated
against the swine flu. They had an actual financial interest. So
yeah, that yes.
Well, the question is, if you remember, because I do during
that little era, there were two things that that stood out. One
is that the h one and one H one n one flu vaccine had to be
separate from the other mixture, the ad mixture of ad libbed flu
vaccines that they you know, they went to China. So all of
this is going to be this this and this doesn't make up this
here what it was,
there was a specific vaccination not for any old flu, but it had
to be for this very specific strain of h one n one.
And the second thing that was noteworthy is that it wasn't one
shot.
No, it was multiple two. Yeah, it
was at least two shots. You had to go back because it was so
nasty and dangerous that they were the thing had to be divided
into two shots. So how do they know so answer me this? This is
the question this will be like an ask Adam but not really. I
don't want to hear the jingle. If that was true, then what
changed because now they have incorporated the h1 and when in
the regular flu shot a get which they said they couldn't do and
they used to say you needed two shots. Now how did it become one
shot within the mixture of all the other flus?
John, this is a baffling question.
To answer it, well, no,
I can just end up with what I had. I don't have any answer
other than this bullcrap. But you know what? You have two
weeks slave. So regardless of who you are, it's a good year to
be immunised and 2014 a good year to be immunised? I
think that's going to be the theme of the show.
It's a good year here to
be those of you who are dead set against being immunised.
Hold on a second. That would be us. Yeah, that's
Dr. Fine would like to paint a picture of what the flu is
really like. Okay, are you ready? Oh, no,
did not because you're gonna paint the picture for you. You
deny Are you?
For most of us. It's a fever of 100 203 being knocked flat on
your back. You know, it makes you ache so much that your hair
hurts. And for many people, it's been at work for one to two
weeks.
That's the mean. That's the mean. You don't want to be out
of work for one to two weeks. Do you? Slave. That's the mean. So
they're going to you watch it's going to be you have two weeks.
You're in it you were hit by this fluid. You're working? Yes.
The show and you sounded fine. By the way. Did you have any of
these symptoms? Maybe he had a different flu?
I always have hair pain.
Well from your hair. So
hair, of course. Of course my my entire my lungs hurt and
it's too late now because you obviously don't have the right
genes. But don't you think it'd be funny with you in that hair
on MTV for those old timers that listen to the show here? That if
you actually went bald,
you know that sounds so fucking hilarious, John.
No, I'm just saying wouldn't you think it would be because you'd
probably still keep the long haired dog guys like This, they
got this they keep the long hair and then they end up with this
bald and a ponytail. Yeah, there's
a lot of guys like that for sure there are Yeah. And you know
what you need you and I need to be very quiet because the hair
gods have been good to us. Don't piss them off. It can still
happen. You're on your Borderline by the way.
Yeah. So even when I was a kid, okay, so it's
standard operating procedure for you. Well, you're lucky you have
a good head of hair for your age. Mate. Thank
you. Thank you, son.
I don't mean it like that. But most most of the guys I know who
are younger than I do got
like, I know. This is stupid to talk about this in the show but
you do have you still have free will out there. Haven't seen
him. Adam. He still got the hair and he could probably still
bouffant it out if he wanted to easily
easily. Yes, I could. And it grows very fast. My hair. And
it's because I'm happy in general.
Ah, I wanted to mention that I am still running on Windows 8.1
Pro preview on this machine. It's
really funny the minute you said that the sound got really
crappy. I'm not kidding you. You weren't I wanted to mention I'm
still a robo. Bucha the way I'm not kidding. That's what
happened. But it's okay. You're good now? What? If you really
went away? Because I lost you. I completely lost you say
something.
But it's funny because I lost you a second ago. I think we
have your connection is getting flaky. Anyway, I got a message
when the machine booted, telling me to buy the damn thing.
Oh, because this is a preview thing. Yeah. And it says
it will be disabled. And they said you got some time to buy
it. It's good to get to work. It's this is gonna work now this
morning. And now I was gonna move it to the machine. But I
figured like, I wanted to do this live on the garrison
experiment.
What happened? Break live on the air. What a great idea.
It said it will reboot in two hours. So why? I don't know why
why?
I'm thinking I don't want it to move. Oh, this is no good.
Well, that means that that means right now it's 925. We started
about nine. So at 11 o'clock. My machine is going to reboot. Yeah
or not. I don't believe it will. Okay. I believe I believe that
having done this, but I'm familiar enough with Microsoft.
I believe I'm going to get a message for
why why would do they want to reboot just to spite you? Or is
that like is that so that so that you buy it?
Preview and they don't want you to think you're gonna get away
with it. You're not getting the operating system for free, chump
is what the message is.
Huh, interesting. Well, it what is it worth to you? What is it?
What are they charging for that a Windows eight OS?
I think for people that were preview users, I think it's 40
bucks, which is reasonable. And
for regular slaves. It's
$500.
Now You're kidding, right? I can't.
It's a couple 100 bucks is really? Wow, what's
the value? Man? That doesn't sound like a good value.
Now if it reboots every two hours.
Did you see what Mayor Bloomberg did on his way out just before
the a lot of people?
Yeah, he gave the finger and walked out of the office. It was
horrible.
Did something else he signed he signed the one little bill into
law. But what a lot of people do. I knew years wouldn't you
have to have new year's resolutions? Yeah, some of that
will be what do you think the number one New Year's resolution
is lose weight? Yeah, that's probably true. And then I think
smoking and drinking is probably not far behind. Yeah. And so he
he made sure that those who wanted to quit smoking with some
assistance can just forget about it. No matter how you feel about
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, there's no denying his impact on the day
to day life of New Yorkers over the past 12 years taking on
everything from birth control to big gulps. So it seems almost
fitting that in his final act as Mayor Bloomberg signed into law
a controversial initiative that extends the city's smoking ban
to include e cigarettes and vaping the law would make it
illegal to use the battery operated cigs and offices
restaurants, bars and parks but some critics including anti
smoking advocates say the ban may end up doing more harm than
good. There's a lot of people wanting to you know transition
through an e cig
No wonder we did this is like a trend because we have a similar
situation happening here at Cal there's I've ever clipped. And
they are also banning e cigs but a lot more.
Okay for students, faculty and employees of the University of
California who smoke this year could bring a new set of
challenges as the entire system goes smoke free. Starting today
smoking and the use of all tobacco products including
cigarettes, e cigarettes, cigars, snuff, waterpipes pipes,
hookahs and chewing tobacco are prohibited on all campuses and
facilities both indoors and outdoors. Officials with the UC
system say is offering an extensive selection of stop
smoking resources to anyone who's interested.
Wow. Smoking too, but Well, smokeless, I have to say, when I
was in, obviously the room here sometimes, you know, the chewing
tobacco. I don't even want to be around you as a human being with
your, with your Pepsi you can that you're spitting dribble
into whoever
it must have been like in bars in the old west where they had
two tunes. Yeah, I think because the you know, the guys weren't
hitting those things, not you know, nine out of 10 times. So
sign somebody had to clean that mess up.
But just the whole process of putting that in your mouth is
very annoying. I don't understand it. I've tried to
snooze, those little pouches of tobacco. I mean, not not in the
past two years. But when we are in Los Angeles. I think we tried
to quit once for about a month. Not so successful. And I think
it was mainly because we were using the E cigarettes at the
time and I tried a couple of those snooze things. I don't
know what you're talking about snooze is it's I think it's made
by it's a camel product, or it's made by camel, or the Marlboro
Man may come to or Philip Morris. And it's a little pouch
of tobacco. But it's it's like a little little little mini pillow
and you can stick it in your your your gum like you were
chewing tobacco. But you don't have to spit out all this goop
all the time. And worse, actually, you swallow whatever
nicotine stuff is in there. And it's probably 10 times more
addictive than than smoking. But it gives you a really good
satisfied feeling.
I have my chewing tobacco story. So I'm working at the refinery
in Union oil and roadeo and I'm floating around. I don't know
why. That was one of the guys who works in the tank farm. And
we got into some conversation over there and about how nobody
the refinery smokes for obvious reasons. Yeah, you blow it up.
But there's a lot of addicts and they all use chewing tobacco. So
half the workers especially during this era when everyone
was smoking, they were all chewing tobacco and and so he
said Yeah, have you ever tried chewing tobacco says no. And so
he showed me you know, it gave me a pinch and told me how to do
it. Chew it and all the rest and meanwhile we're looking at some
tanks I'm climbing this tank to get to the top to look down at
the time I got up there I was so wasted from this stuff. I was
dizzy Yeah, it was horrible it's very destroy comes crawling back
to the ground and got no no I didn't get sick but it was just
like wow this stuff is ridiculously strong. Yeah. I can
hear and the guy says to me says ES is most of the people that
switched from Tibet just from smoking to chewing tobacco were
where they were worse off he says is much much more nicotine
you get more addicted as says terrible he said as he put
another chunk or just whatever.
It's so crazy. We had to we had my daughter and her girlfriend
here and Christina has pretty much she doesn't have the I have
an addictive personality so if I smoke a cigarette there'll be a
second one would be a pack and we'll be back on I just know
this and girlfriends smokes and but like a smoker no really like
you know after a meal or going in the morning with coffee. And
of course we're not having you know, can't smoke in the house.
Not that we when we were smokers we did of course. And so she's
smoking out in the back but just having someone who smokes around
you. I can't believe that I didn't realise how follow this
really is is totally
bad. When you have a cigarette before breakfast and one I mean
the classic smoker to me as someone who smokes at the table
during breakfast during breakfast and then puts the
cigarette out in one of the egg yolks I've
never done that but I've come pretty close I really enjoyed my
smoking and I used to roll my own I choose to tobacco you know
it was all very
it was a whole ritual out of smoking. Yeah.
And I wish I wish I could just kneel once in a while have a
have a nice smoke but I can't I just can't because I know what
will happen and you can't do it. This is a stressful situation.
Boom it'd be done to be over and this and I just have to remind
myself it took me a year and a half and we've been more than a
year half now of not smoking to realise how bad someone really
smells. Oh, they
stink
did I think like that too?
Yeah, really. But you had also the realm of pot,
which was kind of attractive isn't he's kind of an attractive
guy. I don't know why.
He was the patchouli oil
and a peace sign around my neck. Perfect. Well, glad we're done
with that. I feel Very, very good, very strong. And man, I
just got to reiterate how my life has changed with that spin
class, which I still do twice a week. Oh my God, I feel just so
good.
That's good. That's good.
Speaking of pot, it sounds like Mm hmm. Damn, I'm really trying
to work on that in 2014 Do you remember when we were looking
for the answer to the question everyone was asking what the
hell is wrong with Colorado? Because what is up with the
schools in Colorado the kids are killing each other what's wrong?
I don't know if we actually use that voice but that that a lot
of my friends certainly in the cabin in the Northern
California, up near you literally said what is wrong?
What can be we don't understand. Well, the answer came Colorado
schools
have a pot problem that would be
Oh, yes, this is how we're gonna roll baby.
Where do people get it? I don't know exactly. But just like I
know that kids smoking a lot. Now that it's legal. Everybody's
just getting it. While still illegal for anyone under the age
of 21. Younger people are finding ways to get their hands
on marijuana. And we found they don't shy away from talking
about it. I see people selling it and I think it's easy for
people to get now. Even for somebody who's underage Yeah,
are really pissed off.
Teacher was so hard to get it before they legalised it Yeah,
it was almost impossible
couldn't get out man in it. But this this report, which went on
for five minutes only clipped 40s 45 seconds. It just goes on
and on. I know lots of people, most of my friends use it. Why
do they? In fact, I'm high right now
want to use it?
Why do they want to use it? Cuz you know, few makes you feel
good.
I feel like that it's not typically classified as like a
harmful drug. Like as meth or whatever. Do you know if anybody
comes to school high or gets high during lunch break? For
example? Oh, yeah, this is? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
It happened before
I was getting high and going to school. 30 years ago. Come on.
This is not new ever happened
before Adam is because they legalised it and something's got
to be done.
You know, this is this is a part of school. You're supposed to be
high and go to school. Once in a while.
Every school is like we have this slave training schools.
Yeah, I'd be better once
in a while. I mean, it's a part of growing up.
There was not when I was a kid. It was strictly a college
situation.
I bet you there was drinking when you were growing up? Wasn't
that the big thing? That's drink? Oh, that's absolutely
alright. So
driving was the thing
that would turn out for everybody
seemed to be okay with God.
Yeah, it's not uncommon at all. There's a bunch of people that
come to the school. Hi. Well, some teens seem to think using
marijuana is okay. Schools are trying to send a message that
it's not. Pot is now the number one reason students are kicked
out of Colorado. I learned
from you. Okay. That bring back any any memories? Do you
remember?
My children have never had any of these issues? Do you not see
kids that were raised properly and his parents thought Oh, hold
on
a second. You're telling me that none of your kids ever went to
school? Hi. Please. Oh, please.
Go get me if you die when do you at school, but they didn't go to
school high. Especially. It's pretty hard to do when
you're homeschooled. That's exactly why you got to get high.
Now. Well, that there is a point there if you're home, but then
maybe the homeschool was fun. Yeah, it wasn't
like going for fun in the regular school. A bunch of
people who haranguing
going to the slave institution. Yes. No wonder you. But there
was this commercial
plenty of kids that aren't stoned. Did that begin the
Colorado schools too? This is just a hysteric report. Yes,
designed for one thing to overturn the laws and is being
propagated by the Justice Department because they're
besides themselves what to do about Yes, it's lovely. It's
great. And factors are just gonna be effect has already
started. It appears to be that there's going to be a lot of
drug tourism, people passing going into Colorado because you
apparently even if you don't live there, you can get like a
quarter ounce, I think is the max. I was listening to a radio
report on this. And you can get a quarter ounce because it talks
about a lot of this stuff going on in Colorado and Washington
because Washington is also legalised. And there's been some
stores opened up, ready to go. And it's, you know, it's just
it's just going to be part of society. It's not going to be
it's not going to it's like Portugal once you make things
legal, they did think calms down. It doesn't go You're
making it sound like it's going crazy.
I this it's the same with bicycles. By the way. I saw a
report or it was a couple of expats living in Amsterdam did a
like a mini documentary, I'll have to see if I can find it
somewhere. It's on YouTube, about bicycles. And when you see
how the bicycle traffic in the Netherlands works, it really is
astounding. It's like birds who are flying in a flock and all of
a sudden they go left and right, and they never seem to bump into
each other and do justly each other out of the sky. And they
stood at a particular intersection, where they
counted. I think they counted in one morning, you know, 100,000
bicycles, intersected cross, including cars and trams and
buses and nothing happened, you know, and people, they don't
when they almost bumped into each other. There's no yelling
and shouting, say, Oh, I'm sorry. I said with a little
sound. But there's no fighting. No, no one's honking and yelling
and cursing and,
and that took the ring that little bell Alon Yeah, the belt,
which I miss here. You know, people don't understand a bell
and how to use it. And it took it took day maybe took 100 years
for that culture of bicycling to be integrated and you can't just
expect it to work in San Francisco or in Austin. Now we
have the city bikes, which are cute, but it's
dangerous city bikes now in the city. It's
dangerous is dangerous, and it will remain dangerous. And
by the way, we're the helmets for those city bikes.
Oh, screw that. Screw you and your helmet. You don't need a
helmet.
Well these guys do. And by the way, when did what is it that
why don't the police are always looking for new revenue. Do
something about these bicycles? Who don't stop it stops
one second. Hold on. No, no, listen to me. Yeah, in the
Netherlands. How many people die from not having Do you see
anyone in Holland riding with a bike helmet? No. No, maybe a
wool cat by
a pedestrian should wear the helmets you can get hit by those
bikes. Even that
doesn't really have bike lanes everywhere even it's just
culture it takes a long time it's not just rules know what
the bicycle is in the Netherlands completely red light
is go faster. They completely ignore that and it still works.
It works it's not a regulation thing. It's a cultural thing and
it takes a long time a long time and it will work if you know if
if people want to use that mode of transportation everything
figures itself out but you can't do it with rules it doesn't work
that way. Same with with marijuana doesn't work that way
something you can grow in your backyard doesn't work that way.
No.
Well, they're going to try to do everything they can to make it
look like all hell's broken loose in Colorado with stories
like that, for sure. Oh, the kids. Oh, we've got a picture of
a five year old smoking a joint. That's you get to see that
you're gonna see a toddler. Oh and a toddler go what happens
when the toy the toddler. The parents were smoking dope in the
living room. And then they went to the kitchen to get some
peanut butter and jelly. And the toddler came up and saw the
joint and took a couple of puffs and had to be rushed to the
hospital. I can do these stories. Yes, I
know. I know. I know. It's it's almost like wow, we're going to
do another year of this. So easy to predict.
Yeah, he's walking down Main Street everywhere. Well, most of
our listeners I think can can spot these things a mile away.
Although they still miss a couple of people out there are
still sceptical about us. I had what you know, the like the for
example, this guy, Jordan, Jordan Maxwell, who I've been
trying to get to the beginning of the hoax about who was the
who was Jordan Maxwell Jordan. Max was a public speaker who has
been for the last 50 years been promoting the idea that that the
whole country is a sham and we're part of some corporation
that we don't know about and and the officers are in England and
the Rothschilds are running everything. Yeah.
So now hold on one second. I need to know exactly who this
guy is. Hold on. Let me just look at me. Let me let me do it.
We always do. Because you've gotten me into this as well and
and and now you've You dragged me into the sorry, yeah, you
dragged me into this and the amount of grief I get now
I'm doing date searches. But but I'm
backing down backing you up on this stuff. And this is and this
is what is making people very, very angry.
Because a lot of people have bought into a little hook line
and sinker. I had a guy who sent me a note saying I want a
reference to this copy of the Congressional Record showing
where this
this is the the act of 1871
Yeah, 1871. You look at any of these bills, by the way, which I
think you'll enjoy
this. We're gonna listen to a clip from this guy Jordan
Maxwell, who has a sparkly starry background on his web
page at Jordan Maxwell dot com really?
I just want you to get an idea of the kind of ill logic and
craziness that people eventually lap up because you hear it
enough and people reiterated and this was just ran on info well
hold
on one second before you go anywhere. Let me read from his
own website known by close friends as simply rusty Jordan
Maxwell born Russell J. Pine. Apparently he needs a stage name
continues as a preeminent scholar and lecturer in the
fields of secret societies, occult philosophies and UFO
ology since 1959 His work is not only fascinating to explore, but
too important to ignore Are you sure? What's what is your middle
name stands for? What is C stand for? What is C cash? You are
John. Sounds like I got someone else. Maybe you want to play
something from Infowars?
No, it was it was it's been around but they've David
highlighted it. Because I'll tell you the background of this
because he had Jordan Maxwell did this long lecture that was
just an eye roller it went on for three hours. And and it was
the title of it. If you look at it on the YouTube it says
Infowars refuses to play this clip.
Oh, okay. Well, that he might be telling the truth actually. So
I'm not I'm interested.
Well, no, no, now they're playing his clip. They played
the shortcut because he apparently has been retired for
a while he's must be done and how old he is. But he now he
just now he's, he's, I swear to God, in this clip, he's just
essentially wearing his underwear. So you have to
imagine a guy in his skivvies discussing this stuff.
You know, I have watched so much of this kind of stuff. And I
lainnya you know, I mean, I like You're like you starting I mean,
Jesus, John, you start off with MK Ultra. And now this.
You are a corporation, your body has been bought and sold on the
New York Stock Exchange every day, and you have no idea in the
world. How the world really works.
Yeah. And you know, what, seven, eight years ago, six, even six
years ago, I would watch this stuff and how big Yeah, man.
Yeah. Until I really started to learn how to read documents. And
there's just no evidence to back this up.
I like to know where this stock is. I would like to short myself
short myself and quit the show and make a fortune.
So people talk about having to go to
court they talked about I am short on Divorce Act this week.
The government does this and the government that I that
really you don't really want me to listen to this day. This is
Lee just a human remains in enlisting
because they gotta go to court. Once you shut these here, the
court.
I'm not scared of court. But why don't people
go to court? Because you played basketball court? You played
tennis court? Wake up?
Wake up people. Let me try it. You gotta wake up people. You'd
like basketball on the court? Like tennis on a car. It's got
me on a guard.
Trying to do my Alex Jones. I don't think I can do it. 53
years? No, not even close.
Very much anymore. The reason why you go to court, it's a
game. It's like tennis, and how they play tennis you play when
you're playing on a rocket is a good way to go in to a
basketball game to play on the court. The whole idea is you
have two teams, one team of a team of lawyers and another team
of lawyers. And the whole idea of a court because it's maritime
Admiralty international banking law. The whole idea is to put
the ball back at the other guy's court.
There's a couple of so here's what I do have an opinion on a
lot of this stuff. There's a difference between international
law and and common law and of course, we have commercial
common code. Yeah, there's a lot of law there's a lot of a lot of
you know, it's all make believe it's just rules that we've kind
of agreed on that have been written in some form and it's
just all derivative of, of some original Magna Carta in some
ways. And this is you know, and what people call law and a human
rights law and internet freedom law and all of this. It's all
it's all in people's minds is all what they make up. And this
has nothing to do with America being a corporation or not, and
it doesn't really even matter. It doesn't matter. You can bring
corporation to its knees as easily as you can a country. You
can build up a corporation to be a great corporate, I
made this argument before and I think it's I think you're I
mean, there is that element that what if even if it was true what
there was as a make Yeah. But it's not true and is ludicrous
and is beside the point and it just causes nothing but
confusion amongst these people that buy into this that we're a
corporation.
No, I'm sorry. I don't understand the your obsession
with other people's obsession who gives a crap I don't
understand
I crap. I care about what? I don't know yet. And getting to
the bottom of it. Maybe
you care because that no, here's what it is. I know what it is.
This guy seems to be actually selling books he actually
published for 1999. Maybe that's what angers you that he did it.
He put a book to
obtain me for doing my research, put up a
web page with some sparkly stars in which you could easily do and
he's selling his book. Why don't you get on this bandwagon? The
good you could do Astro cycles or whatever people will buy it.
Look at it. He's got he's got a million books out. This guy's
he's his own little publishing empire. Yeah, yeah. That's your
problem.
Anyway, it could be it could be I could be just jealous. I think
you are. That always used to be a thing of Bill Gates a bad guy?
Yeah. Just jealous of Bill Gates. Oh, my God.
Did you hear about the email with Bill Gates?
I bet you what did he did that you won money? No, no, no.
So the see Robert Wilson, on Monday, killed himself Robert
Wilson, very, very wealthy hedge fund guy who was 86. Or you had
a horrible stroke. And he wrote it. I didn't know when it's
published. He wrote a suicide note. And he jumped out of his
upper west side high rise apartment and died. And he had
given away an estimated $500 million of his you know, 800
million or billion dollar wealth. And his goal was to give
away most of it before he died. Hey, he told a friend recently I
only have about 100 million to go. So after this happens a an
email exchange is released between him and Bill Gates. Are
you googling this? Because I'm just gonna You don't have to?
I'll just tell you what it is.
Yeah, I'm just want to see a picture that guy and some other
stuff go on listening. So the course I'm googling it, that's
what we do. Both of us
people don't people think you're doing. They think John's not
interested. He's doing his tax returns or something. They
will that to do tax returns? Well, I'm googling.
All right, from Bill Gates to Robert W. Wilson. This is June
16, of 2010. I'm writing to Robert, I'm writing to let you
know about an idea we're calling the giving pledge that came out
of a number of conversations that Melinda and Warren and I
had with a number of people over the past year. By the way, this
is a recurring theme with Bill's emails, Melinda Warren and I
like you'd like you're in title of a book. It sounds like you're
having sex, which is sad and scary. Yeah, we were all in bed
smoking a joint the other day and we said, hey, let's write an
email to Robert W. Wilson. The idea is that when you take the
giving pledge, you agreed to give the majority of your wealth
to charity during your lifetime or through your will. The Giving
Pledge will be public and pledges will be posted on the
website giving pledge.org And he goes on and on and on. And then
he says so I'm going to skip through a lot of this email. See
today, an article about the giving pledge was posted
online@fortune.com Warren and Melinda and I will be on Charlie
Rose's show tonight to further discuss the idea boy that
Melinda hit the jackpot didn't shake. Oh, boy. Nice. Second,
and that is in the next few days. We are asking some of the
great philanthropists in the United States to join us signing
a letter to hundreds of wealthy people in the United States,
inviting them to pledge. So he's basically pitching and then
Wilson response Mr. Gates, I decided more than 10 years ago
to try to give away 70% of my net worth and have already given
away one half billion dollars. I have never been a Forbes 400 So
I really don't have to take that pledge. Your Giving Pledge has a
loophole that renders it practically worthless, namely
permitting pledges to simply name charities in their wills. I
have found that most billionaires or near
billionaires hate giving large sums of money away while alive
and instead set up family controlled foundations to do it
for them after death. And these foundations more often than not,
bureaucracy are often bureaucracy written sluggards.
These rich are delighted to toss off a few million a year in
order to remain socially acceptable, but that's it. I'm
going to stay far away from your effort, but thanks for thinking
of me cordially. And gatesman responds, what you're doing is
fantastic. You're giving yes Bill Gates is so nuts. This is
how he responds to that email. Sounds like a boilerplate, what
you're doing is fantastic. You're giving a high percentage
and doing it in a very efficient way to causes you have thought
about thought deeply about, the key benefit of your getting
involved in the pledge would have would be having people
learn more from your example, both in your pledge letter and
your participation in the yearly events. We believe the more
people we get involved, the stronger the effort will be. And
the more people who will join in, you are right that the
giving pledge allows people to join in who don't give until
their will comes into action. Since people don't know when
they will die. It is a bit difficult to make the timing of
their giving supers super specific. You're also right that
some people set up foundations with a strong focus or without
without a strong focus or leadership. And with high
overhead. Yeah, no kidding. And blah, blah or not. So it's fine
for you to stay out. But I want you to know that we agree with
your views on philanthropy. And we would benefit from your
joining in if you're willing to talk further about this. I would
love to chat on the phone sometime. And then Wilson comes
back. Mr. Gates, thanks so much for your email. But as my
previous email indicated, I wouldn't have much fun or add
much value to this group. You being a liberal think you can
change people more than I think I can. But let me make one
comment. When I talk to young people who seem destined for
great success. I tell them to forget about charities and
giving concentrate on your family and getting rich, which I
found to be very hard work. I personally and the world at
large are very glad you are more interested in computer soft
software. I'm sorry, I personally and the world at
large are very glad you were more interested in computer
software than the underprivileged when you were
young. And don't forget that those who don't make money never
become philanthropist. When rich people reach 50 and are
beginning to slow down. This is the time to begin engaging them
in philanthropy. I greatly appreciate just leaving it at
that cordially. Basically, screw you and Melinda and Warren.
Well, I would Yeah, well, they're pretty arrogant about
this whole thing in fact, which brings me to one of my points
over the years especially with Bill and Warren and they're
always the rich should be taxed more didn't they're never seen
that and say income taxes should go up for the rich including
themselves. And then Bill is one of those guys who used to pay
himself like $1 Yeah, am I getting a co pays $1 And so the
wealth tax would shut these guys up. Yeah. I gotta get back on
that. That ain't gonna happen. I'm gonna hit you with good
well, yes, otherwise you end up with a
situation like the one here I have a clip of which is taxes in
France. Listen to these numbers. Yeah, this this this got past
situation in
France because the French are facing new tax hikes.
Yeah, exactly. Everyone's trying to calculate now how much more
they're going to be paying. tax hikes came into place from
January 1. The biggest among these are changes in the rate of
value added tax or VAT the tax on most goods and services. And
at the change that affects every consumer no matter how much or
how little they earn. Some businesses are trying to absorb
the cost of the tax increases not pass it on to their
consumers. But as Kate moody has been finding out, it's not an
easy task,
champagne and a meal out small luxuries being affected by the
new year's tax hike. This restaurant owner has vowed to
protect his customers and won't raise his prices. He'll find
other ways to save.
For the 29 year a menu will take up poached eggs with morel
mushrooms. Because morels are such a rare product
rare and too expensive to offer. Now that the intermediate VAT
rate which applies to restaurants, hotels and train
tickets, is boosted from seven to 10%. Services like Plumbing
also fall under the same bracket. For this plumber the
new rate amounts to about six euros per house call. He too has
promised to absorb the extra cost concerned about
discouraging new customers. What concepts will
take it from our profit margin good and so maybe we'll learn a
bit less and but at least we won't lose clients on that
buckle
due to Francis Standard VAT rate which applies to goods like
clothing rises from 19.6 to 20%. While the basic rate on food
remains unchanged at 5.5% but some consumers worried the extra
pennies will add up.
This is VAT
yeah VAT 20% It's 21%
in most of Euro land 21% on anything it's 20
You know what's interesting about this report that was kind
of overlooked in terms of understanding it because there
was a number of things is all from Van cat. They talked about
Lithuania is now in the euro zone and they're going to have a
little bit of inflation but the but every time you hear a report
about this and you hear it here all the time too. they're going
to end up just a meme. They're going to pass it along to their
customers. Yeah, they do. In France, they're going to absorb
it. That was the kind of the theme of this because the French
have a socialistic mentality. And so they all suck it up. Does
that a yoga? Yeah, to gouge I mean, we're gougers.
I live, I lived in the Netherlands From a very young
age and I and when we moved there in 1972, I believe the
highest bracket income tax was about 72 or 73%. And this came
down dramatically later on, but this is where it was when we
started. And of course, you had so called free everything, it
was all great. And you know what it just capitalism has his has
his problems, this socialism has its problems. So it does not
work. Because people take advantage of getting a free
ride. I don't feel so good. Oh, I'm gonna go Oh, my, you know,
my back hurts. I'm gonna stay home this week. Because you'll
get it you know, you get paid for it anyway. And if you're, if
you're if your long term disability, you get at least 80%
of your last paycheck, all this stuff? Well, it's just like the
insurance companies, when you have an insurance company people
do and the end, the culture of the Dutch was growing up, I will
never forget. People would take out a trip insurance for
vacation. And they would lose their phone or their or not
phone because they didn't have their camera typically. Oh, my
camera was lost or broken. Yeah, I'm just gonna report it to
insurance so I can get a new one. It's my right. Eye. People
will take up our desktop. It's my right, because some for some
reason you it's you've paid enough that people start to feel
what they feel what they feel is enough. Oh, I've paid enough now
it's my right to to collect. And I've seen this happen. And with
the with the value added tax, massive, massive fraud in this.
I worked at a restaurant busing tables. And the guy was like,
Yeah, you know, give me some of those VAT receipt to empty VAT
receipts, I'll give you 100 guilders at the time. You give
me a booklet of those which is massive fraud everywhere. It
only invites fraud. And it's very easy and it's easiest for
the people at the top to defraud. No, no forget about it.
We have diverged to such a degree where the the rich are
truly disgustingly wealthy. And I have no disgust for money. And
the poor are just disgustingly poor. And our schmucks in the
middle, were the ones getting raped overall, this is a great
article in Business Insider. They went to see the Wolf of
Wall Street. And the theatre they went to is one right behind
Goldman Sachs is office right their financial district.
And will field work it's called
field work. Yes. And during this entire movie, which apparently
is a long one, like three hours, whenever DiCaprio who plays the
rich tree. Yeah, Belfort is a it's based on a true story.
Whenever he was like taking coke to sober up from the ludes you
know, it was everyone. I mean, if I remember being watching
Beverly Hills Cop on it's in a Time Square movie theatre, and
everyone was cheering on Eddie Murphy. It was a very very black
crowd. Isn't Beverly Hills Cop? No was some it was I think it
was maybe was it purple rain. It was some? I don't remember what
it was. Maybe it was just early Eddie Murphy's raw or something?
God what was it? Regardless, you get the audience of you know,
just people cheering and like, oh, yeah, go mad. Yeah, shoot
him kill him. This is what these guys are doing. When he's
stealing money, and nothing off his clients. He's wearing a wire
and he's any any slides a piece of paper two is his number two
in command that says don't incriminate yourself and wearing
a wire and the crowd is yelling. That's right. Stand by your firm
don't read it. You know, it's like
what kind of an audience was this? And they're so vocal.
This was just Wall Street guys, Wall Street guys. The financial
district this is this what it is they don't care. They are
ripping everybody off and enriching themselves. And it's
it's fine. It's disgusting. But the guillotine could come back
people just want to remind you to there's no way
there's no head on a stick because I wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, so VAT Sure. It's just to rip us off more. This is I don't
know. Maybe Hillary can fix it.
You know, I don't think that she's on the public side on any
of this stuff. Oh, get that sense. I don't know. Maybe I'm
wrong. So I've ended up watching the entire house of cards. I
didn't realise you know, I had oh god give away the whole story
but it mean. Now I'm even more disgusted that Obama was like
admiring this this guy on the show. Guys a murderer. Yes. The
show is every buddy is despicable everybody, the little
reporter she's girlfriends of jerk. Everybody is a horrible
person in this thing. It's very good story because just like
you're just jaw dropped over why what? I know, I know. It's
pretty good. Just a cold blooded, horrible person. The
only person that's kind of interesting that might not be a
horrible person is the woman who quit that the nonprofit they
were running and to get because she's having a baby. But even
then she was out or out to get the other one. So I mean, it was
it's a, it's a people would have to have all the things you want
to see on Netflix, go watch House of Cards. And then the
other thing is I wouldn't rewatching Rubicon still a good
story on Amazon. It's free to Amazon Prime users. And it's an
HD. Very good story, too.
I got a lot of research that I want to discuss with you. And I
want to get to that. But first i i Even at the the first show of
the new year. I have to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John C. Dvorak.
What was that again, Adam
in the morning to you John C. Dvorak. Well, in
the morning to you, Adam C. Curry. And in the morning all
ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air subs in
the water, and all the Dames and all the nights out there.
Yes. And, of course in the morning to everyone in the chat
room. Now back in good graces. As we start off the year with
John happy about the chat room, no agenda stream.com. Yeah, that
probably won't last. But it's always nice to start off on a
positive note. And thank you to our artists silikon spin brought
us the art for 578 The last piece of artwork for last year.
And we appreciate all the work that our artists do, it seems
like some people have already put in for future episodes. I'm
not quite sure how that works. Anyway, very end, it was just a
nice end of your piece. And we're very curious to see what
happens in this new year. And all of our artists are always
credited. And it's always highly highly appreciated. Thank you no
agenda, art generator.com. And then of course we have our
model. I think we long ago discovered that you can't
monetize the network. There's no nest necessity for aggregation
you can go direct and build your audience. We've been working on
this for six years. And we continue to build and and grow
very slowly.
Yes, slow but sure though,
it is sure I got a an invitation from a magazine in the
Netherlands. The the editor the chief editor in chief is called
The New Order food which is crap magazine. They've always been
mean to me to me not you always mean with articles like who does
Adam curry think he is and then the interview a whole bunch of
piano be good. Yeah, it's not very doesn't never turns out
nice. No, no. And so whenever you know some listener alerted
us to your stance on sandy hook in the Boston bombing. Yeah,
maybe we should did talk about that. I'm like, yeah. Oh, well,
let me think you're going to make me into an idiot hoaxer.
That's probably what you want to do.
Three nut? Exactly. Exactly.
No, no, no, no, we think that you have I heard seven or eight
minutes of you talking during Christmas break about? Because I
said I accused him of never having listen. Otherwise, you
never would have asked me this says no, no, I heard seven or
eight minutes on the Sandy Hook. And, you know, the evidence and
what I said we've done hours of this over months, I can you case
you can't put this into a one page article. It's impossible.
It will not work. And all that happens is is you know, I get
nothing out of it. No, but don't you want to promote some of your
ideas? No, no, I don't own ideas.
What we're here to promote people to the ability to think
through people's lives. Thank you, you that sort of thing and
keep if we're going to promote anything, we do promote the
show, but that but
you're never gonna get promotion for the idea that maybe one
person who go like I am we take a look at that. And all of us
are like, Ah, I knew it. tinfoil hat crazy nut job that
wears the tinfoil hat. Yeah,
exactly.
That's exactly right. We know this.
So it's I might Wow. And, and to myself, I also had to reset
like, Okay, this is you know, I could see all the danger like
warning world danger Will Robinson back away from the
mainstream press. Because it was the last time we did something.
We were in Los Angeles. And it was a real publication. Maybe it
was New York Times or Wall Street Journal, and they would
not accept my Title of media assassin think, well, we can't
print that. So but that's what I am. No, that's not a real title.
Do you remember that? What mag what newspaper? Was that? Or
maybe it was USA Today or?
I don't remember this. Yeah, I remember you get into a beef
about something. No. And we know they're not our friends. So
they just want to make fun of us.
Well, it's because they
know but here's a guy who's being paid them. So is no but
no, but I guess the point is, the way it works over there in
that land in that in in mainstream land, is you know,
you're in a big company, a big publishing house to do multiple
magazines, we got to do something, we'll make fun of
somebody or maybe not even and then the other magazines can
jump on it, extract stuff and call the guy nuts. And then
we've got a little thing going on, more people will buy our
magazine, just some controversy, just whatever we can get. And we
opted out of that years ago. And the only way we've done it is by
the model that we've created, which is in no way an Indiegogo
or a Kickstarter, this is something very, very specific,
which may only work with an audio podcast, by the way, I
don't even know if it will work with many other forms of media.
And when we're not working for tips, and don't know, tip Joe
used to work
for PBS. Yeah, in the early days, there was pretty much just
when you get them this. And it was different when I was a kid
that public broadcasting thing was it was a more honest
operation. They were a little low. And they were not quite the
same standards in terms of broadcast quality really lame,
basically, it was it was there was good material on there. But
it wasn't. It wasn't. It was like Russian TV,
we should we should trace back to see when that change and what
the change was because it's not low grey anymore. Underlying
writing came in Yeah. Oh, you mean? Let me see. Where do we
have? Yes.
Oh, here it is. Okay, moving on to money. How are NPR is
corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? And
what about foundation grants?
Two different stories. Underlying is underwriting is is
down, it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this
is the area that is most down for us. This is in is in
sponsorship, underwriting, advertising, call it whatever
you want to
call it whatever you want, or whatever you want to
advertising. And we're obviously advertising in today's era when
the guys are done because these advertiser demand, I demand 60
seconds of promotion for Chevron. And
then how can how can PBS sit there with a straight face and
say here is the Kaiser medical report and independent
organisation funded by Kaiser how can they say that with a
straight face?
I think they're I honestly think they're deluded. I don't think
they're being insincere.
That's the scary part. Here is the Kaiser not not just a the
PBS medical report, underwritten by Kaiser know the Kaiser from
Kaiser Permanente from the from Kaiser the Kaiser Family of
course like
watching ABC where it says you know, it says scoreboard Vizio
scoreboard Volvo scoreboard Ford rocking by Ford Yeah. This Ford
minute
Yeah, owe the Ford minute. It really we tried to watch a
little bit of the shows from Time Square and I did Time
Square in 1987. And at that time, I had a bodyguard an armed
undercover off duty cop standing next to me because there was no
guard rails or anything there was there wasn't even a camera
the camera was on one time square up on the third 50th
floor looking down at me with a huge zoom lens. And I was like
good luck curry. Yeah, there was no it was no crowd control.
There were no gates no podia and no nivia nivia which is a cream
for your elbows is it's been the spice made entire New Year's
blue on Times Square. And it's ruined it ruined everything. And
then it's ruined. And then you switch back and forth. It's just
the whole thing is ruined. It's continues to be a crazy a
million people running around like that. And now it's all
controlled programmes scripted. I like Jenny McCarthy but no, I
like Carson Daly you know? No. is dumb. He talks about dumb
things you make me feel dumb and we watch dumb commercials. It's
dumb. I swear I went to bed.
Well, you know, you're better off we didn't get to see any of
that because up at the, at the North Western bunker bunker, we
don't have any broadcast TV, Mimi moved all this stuff around
and she had it hooked the antenna to the TV. And so we're
just everything's on Netflix either watching or through the
Roku box. Everything's roku.
I got a new Roku, one of those Roku threes. Boy, what a nice,
it's a nice box. Wow, what an upgrade. That is. No. And here's
the cool thing
about the Roku three I promised in the newsletter, we talked a
little tech. So this is it? Oh, no. This is it. The Roku three,
the thing you got to know about the Roku three is that it has a
universal search function at the very beginning. So you can
search for a movie and then it will find where it's available
on all these other different services with the prices
corresponding prices. If you said wait a minute, why should I
go here for $3 When I can see the same movie for free on
Amazon.
I know that it's a it's an it really truly is an outstanding
product. I hope those guys make money. I don't see how they
they're selling. And also just the whole idea. It's a little
Linux thing they got in a little enclosure. I mean, it's all it's
beautifully done. I really like I don't like the fact that it's
broadcasting like a Wi Fi network from my remote control.
That's new. I think that's dumb. There's no reason for that to do
that that way. But I actually
had lunch with the CEO. Yeah. And I use the nice guy. He's one
of these real nerdy characters a nice guy, but
he's, he's an accountant. He's not really a tech guy isn't some
or something. Kind of a
tech guy because he's the guy who started replay TV. And he
was neck and neck with TiVo. Those two guys there. He's
essentially the inventor of the DVR, ah. He says get better
bandwidth over the internet. Now. If it's it's handled
correctly.
Well, they have so I think they have new they must have the h2
Six for decoding down. They've done it really well. On this no
Roku, new Roku or just it. The quality picks up very quickly.
And it's just and here I can even do Time Warner Cable on the
Roku, which has an I don't have to deal with their whole stupid
idiot box. Which pisses me off to no end, rebooting a million
times L minus 10 l minus nine whenever they update their
crappy ass interface. Alright, so the long way to get to the
fact that we have people who produce the show, produce it in
with information with propagation and with
financialization.
So we have a lot of financialization, people.
Good. We need it to kick off the year right
off the year. Right. We're starting with David, we want to
thank them David Foley, who's now the Archduke of Silicon
Valley. He's getting into Grand Duke he's trying to catch up
with bells mockers his work it gets into that group he'll have
the the eastern hemisphere and fully have the western
end, but he also gets a jingle then at that point.
Yes, he will get a jingle like Grand Duke in the morning, John
and Adam a close 2398 dot 63 Wow. And this is the 4k TV guy.
What's his website again? 4k special.com.
I think that's good.
You can look it up. Well, I'll check. I think it is nice.
Something else. I thought whatever the case, he didn't
promote it this time. But I like to promote it just to annoy that
one or one listener. It is 4k special.com
and if you use the code, no agenda then you get $50 off.
Okay. Enclosed Please find my January donation at the best
podcast in the universe. Hopefully this will kick off a
great 2014 for the show. Thanks for all the great analysis this
donation should elevate me to the Archduke of Silicon Valley.
Please send me some of that wonderful no agenda karma for
the upcoming month.
You got it. Here you go. Archduke thank you so much.
You've got karma that is really really appreciate.
Yes, indeed. Now we have is Hey, idiot. McDonald, Concord,
California just right up the street for me where the fries is
$579.11
this is this is the one person who heard the donation number
the 579 11 Yeah, Episode 579 and 11. Yeah, nice. It's him. It's
the only one in the club. He's eating the clone. No. Hey,
idiot. Hey, idiot
from Atlas McDonald. Longtime Boehner first time donor. That's
the way to get started, but at least I've been linking Hey
idiot.com to the show.
I didn't know. Let me check that that's good. I didn't realise
that.
That counted his show and serving up the BitTorrent Sync
feet at 100 megabits per second since it started so he's one of
doing a lot of work for
us. He's a cedar where some I'm show sell seeds we have cedars
whoo Yeah, that's great. give myself
some space Yeah. Finally felt shamed enough to donate out
after hitting just a few folks in the mouth not a stellar year
for me but better than some it appears. Would love to hear John
you will obey and thanks for your courage you will obey you
will obey you will obey.
Nice well thank you very much Hey, idiot from Atlas McDonald,
that's very kind of you. And you will be not only an executive
producer of Episode 579, or you also be the sole five, Seven
Niner club member.
Anonymous from anonymous michigan 333 33. Mana Christmas,
please keep my name and location anonymous. Thank you anonymous,
not complaining just wondering about the email server from home
product or in a box or instructions, some sort of thing
for the outliner ACX uses and he wants information from you. Yes.
And easy instructions are probably this will be the day by
the way when he documents something.
Well, let me let me finish this. And I'll say something any any
written
blah, blah, blah, you guys and everyone that assists are the
best much love, I also fast forward through donations. So if
you happen to mention either email server or Outliner, I'll
only catch it if it's outside the donations. Say it, we say I
have a hard enough time keeping up with the actual show.
This is part of the show, look at what you've missed in us just
talking about just leading up to donations this is so well, it's
up to you, you need to do whatever you want and doesn't
matter because you get enough value to provide us with value
for not even listening to that. So appreciate it. Yeah, I have
decided, well, I got to think about it. The problem with the
email server is you just have to be willing to want to do it.
It's not all that hard, I can point to a million documents,
there's no surefire way of doing these things. Because every
situation is a little bit different. It's like It's like
cooking, I can give you a recipe. But you still have to,
you know, your stove is different, the ingredients are
gonna be different sizes, you'll have different in factors,
different environment, different taste buds. And it takes a
couple of weeks to get it up and running. And, you know, you just
have to, I don't care, I'm sorry, it's the stay with Gmail.
And if you really, really care if that if your reasons are pure
for wanting to get off centralised services, you can
figure it out.
You can also go to little guys and go through them. You know,
of course you can work with with people locally, but I like my
guy. But even that is, you know, to a degree. Now, if you read
all the documentation about what rights you have, when you park
your stuff at a third party, it's basically none. So it's
better to own it. And even if you have infrastructure even if
you own even if you run a server in the cloud, if you run an
Amazon EC two or something on Rackspace, they cannot legally
Of course, technically, but legally, they can't do the same
way that they do with Gmail. They can't just call up
Rackspace and say break into that guy's box that is not
allowed a big difference
the post office should open some system and make a law that
protects it some way they would like to do with the regular mail
you know, just it's I think they try it anyway. Let's get on with
it. Please me Well, of course he didn't get any of this because
he just fast forward he didn't hear any of what I just said.
Yeah, it's so ironic. Edward sheets from Parts Unknown $320 I
do not have a note but he does he's got a note in the next week
give us $320 Twice yeah whoo Yep, well that puts him up to
the 640 mark but he wants 320 Finally mac and cheese by the I
got a great mac and cheese. Nevermind finally mac and cheese

for a D douching. Then relationship karma. Also, is it
possible to add Cuban cigars and single malt scotches to the
Knights list?
I'm doing it as we speak.
I thought it was already on there something like that.
No, we have long haired heavy metal guys and scotch. That's
like the cheap you know the cheaper Johnny wouldn't name
John Cuban cigars should be
on news Ryan cigars and single malt scotch and
he says in all caps you guys rock. And then he says how do I
apply for the ring? You go to no agenda nation.com/ring And
you'll find an ID douching

You want to keep your eye on that?
Yeah, well, he'll be campaigning for New Hampshire, so nothing

nice producers, human resources to a lesser extent all the
freeloading boners out there. And he gave us $201.40 And he's
a history major at Bard College in upstate New York. And your
show is a source of valuable news and information as well as
entertainment is in my life, being brainwashed hipster
amongst brainwashed hipsters. I've been a listener for it. I
haven't put this whole note in. So because it's pretty funny.
I've been a listener for a little over six months now and
I've totally totally hooked which means that my life pre an
A was a total waste. My parents have actually been trying to hit
me in the mouth for a few years but being a douchebag teenager,
I made it long and arduous mission. Bless them for not
giving up on me. For now I'm fully indoctrinated and taking
it upon myself to convert the few friends I have whose head
would not explode. Upon hearing the truth. Your bi weekly shot
of sanity gives me plenty of material to throw at the moronic
Republican hating Obama bots that mainly populate my school.
Needless to say, I don't have many friends. Good riddance. The
last few episodes have finally really been top notch and I've
decided it was finally time to rid myself of the dreaded
Boehner status. Luckily, it being the holiday season, I took
advantage of my family in order to avoid actually chipping in my
own money, of which I have basically none. So here's $200
and $21.40. To kick off the new years Keep up the good work and
humorous analysis and they'll be more of that where they came by.
He's teasing me. I also like to call my long distance girlfriend
from St. Petersburg to the stage Marina. Get your sweet Russian
cheeks up there. She'll be making a conjugal visit to get
mo nation in February and if you're lucky, Adam, I might just
send you a picture. Can I get to the head Don't eat me Hillary,
don't Raph and some karma for the road. I'm looking to become
a certified massage therapist sewing squeeze some extra cash
out of the trust fund babies I go to school with
good notes. A kid should become a writer is good. That was a
good note. I like that that's not the right one. We had that
problem before, haven't we? Yeah. Well the second one is
that I gotta get rid of that one. Here it is. I got it. Let
me just get rid of that one all together because I don't like it
at all. No, no, it's let's try this again. Here we go. It's the
same. Yeah, what is this? I don't know. Where is the Don't
eat me Hillary Clinton's the regular jingle.
This is a problem. This is interesting.
How can that happen? You know, what happens is we don't play
these genes. was for a long time
and it get overwritten No,
no certainly not overwritten, but it must be somewhere in a in
a folder on a second here it is. Okay, one more time Hillary
Clinton don't put off Why are you on? You've got karma All
right. Now I know where it is. I'm going to put it into the
main bucket. Yeah, you're
gonna get to be reprieved because we got to Hillary's
getting back into action here
now we got I gotta roll it all up into into into a handy little
interface that works.
Yeah, bring the show back up a notch sorry I'm
I'm obviously obviously sucking
and by the way that was done Kravitz and Princeton Junction
New Jersey State please be upstanding nation so Steven pals
mockers showed up with the joiner $1.40 cent donation from
Belgium Happy New Year to the and he's of course the Duke he's
our number one patron at the moment. Although as to see this
there's going to be competition Happy New Year to the guardians
of reality in May 2014. Bring you much happiness enjoy some
karma for you both as well as for all the no agenda peerage.
Oh. Oh, very nice. When waiting for karma.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought there was more coming. Yes, karma of
course repels mockers. You've got karma. Oh, sorry. It's
actually for us and no agenda period. You know, I'm
sorry. I was working. I was working or looking
for new or digging around. I was. I was I was doing your
taxes.
Yes, clipping my nails.
Alright, so that concludes our donation, jacket and producer
and Associate Executive Producer donation segment for show 579 To
start off year 2014. Want to thank all those great folks and
knights and dukes and everyone in between reminds you to go to
divorce that org slash na channel divorce.com/n. A if that
doesn't work. I also know agenda nation and no agenda show.com
both have donation buttons, which have alternate ways of
getting us some, some production they do
indeed. And in the PR section of the show notes. I have a link.
That's actually I was looking for the email, but couldn't find
it that quickly. But we have a new app for the no agenda show
for Windows Phone. Oh, surely there's someone out there who?
Who has a Windows? All right. I
think that's fantastic. I think the way I don't think the
Windows Phone is a huge success by any means. But there's a
number of people and I think many people who would have a
Windows phone might be interested in no agenda.
Yeah, this is a Christian Schroeder. And it includes a
player with Show Notes history of played episodes and links to
no agenda websites. And it's on it's in the Windows Phone Store.
Windows phone.com. But I have a direct link to it. And we
appreciate that kind of work. That's that's important. I
played with those Windows phones. I was no it's not no
iPhone, but it was snappy and quick. And I can understand I
don't even see why it's not it doesn't look like a bad phone to
me. quite honest.
No, no, it's actually usable.
It's totally usable. So we appreciate that work. Thank you
very much to our executive producers, our Associate
Executive producers to our our knights, our future knights who
will be united today our barons, Baron etc. It really is you who
makes this happen. Of course not just with your financial
reality, but also with your with the actual contributions towards
the show. You know who you are, you know what you're doing, and
we appreciate it. devora.org/n A and of course, we always want
everybody listening to go out and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
Alrighty then. Well, I spent, of course there was no, there's no
news, so to speak. I spent a lot of time looking at Turkey, which
we'll talk about later. There's quite a lot of we have so many
people who are worried actually in Turkey, who understand
Turkey, you understand what's going on with the Gulenists
versus the ad and oh, by the way, confirmed. It's not Erdogan
is air Dhawan. Are these kind of like in between a Dutch G and A
W. Okay, that from the official pronunciation Yeah,
well, I'm never going to pronounce it that way. You can
do whatever you want. But I also got it almost got angry is not
the word but like I've had so much enough of this snow job
that has been propagated on us and just like big Coyne I need
to point out some obvious obvious things too. And in
particular our kind of audience I don't think it's our our
producers and listeners, per se, but it's the same profile of
person of job they have where, you know, Bitcoin is well, you
know, let's just ignore the fact that the person who invented
bitcoin is non existent. This has always baffled me that
really intelligent people who know a lot about technology are
all over it and are willing to ignore the fact that Satoshi
Nakamoto person group whatever is just an unknown entity, that
kind of for me compromises the whole thing. And the same is
happening with this Snowden Poydras grand green rush shout
out Don roffe Bart Gellman and most importantly Jacob
Appelbaum. I'd like yeah, I'd like to focus my knives on him
today.
Well that would be good you know I had a all of a sudden
Applebaum shows up with a bunch of these different blood you got
some clips it's actually JC some
clips holy crap some clips showing up all over
the place and he's and he's some of his assertions are weird. And
I I'm interested in this too because i j buzzkill Jr sent me
a bunch of these clips. I don't know what he was
what he was thinking but it was hilarious from the flu is just
the boys say
back to him I said you know this guy this guy's this not a guy
that you should be apparently met it filters all you know,
he's a hero to a bunch of Yes, yes. Thank you. That's really
got to end that's
that has to end. And as far as I'm concerned, it ends today.
All right, go couple of things. So so he did a keynote quote
unquote, a speech which Greg green rock did his keynote the
day before at the Chaos Computer Club, their annual thing in
Germany now. Jacob Appelbaum lives in Germany, as does Laura
Poitras. And I am always just curious now, apparently, he
someone's paying him to tweet, I don't know what else he does. He
of course, is famously the inventor and programmer and
writer of the onion router Tor. And this is the same thing with
Bitcoin. And of course, I need to drive one's attention to it.
So you really understand Tor, you know, it's one thing to
write free software, and to give away free software, our freedom
controller that that we've actually, that we've opened up
before and when the outliner is fixed in that way, there'll be
another round of people can use it. And you can already get the
source code now whatever you want. There's no money. We
didn't take any money. And I'm talking about Dave Jones, who
really did all the programming. But if you look at the the
sponsors of the onion router, and we know that this is a 5013
C corporation does about $1.9 million in funds, the act of
sponsors from for 2013 as listed on the tour project.org website,
broadcast Board of Governors, that is the FCC, essentially the
government, Sr, I International. These are huge, huge nonprofit
organisations that have tonnes of money coming in from places
like oh, I don't know, the US State Department, as is one of
the sponsors US Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human
Rights and labour they will be sponsoring through 2015 Sida. We
went through this previously the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency, the National Science Foundation,
Radio Free Asia, the Knight Foundation, and anonymous North
American ISP of the Ford Foundation. Famous famous for
being anti semitic, the anonymous North American NGO.
And then of course, there's more than 4300 personal donations
from individuals like you. Now if you look at past sponsors on
this very same space, this is and this is essentially Jacob
Appelbaum, Jacob just him there's there's no team that I
know of none a huge development organisation no offices are the
guys in Berlin taking all this money from Well, let's take a
look Google access now. The Google Summer of Code, Human
Rights Watch all of these known known NGOs with an agenda, but
also very interesting to see. In 2006, he received the Omidyar
Network enzyme grant, so there is where the circle connects
between Glenn Greenwald, Pierre Omidyar and Jacob Appelbaum, who
now also is apparently a journalist. As he coincided his
speech, his hour long speech with the release of all kinds of
unbelievable information nondairy bago Der Spiegel I tell
you. So he was in I have clips where he's going to be referring
to this all this great information he put in there,
Spiegel. And I don't know, if you had a chance to read this
article, the framing of this, to me is very simple. This is more
of make the net, the NSA look like horrible, horrible Blackhat
hackers who are out to penetrate your not just your computer, but
every orifice you have. And to protect the true evil that is
going on, which is all the companies made that he's taken
money from, first of all, and you know, the State Department
runs lots of Tor nodes, lots of them, you can figure all this
out. I think he is an agent of trying to protect the true
whatever is really left of the true intelligence apparatus in
America, which is the centralised services where
people gladly build up their profile on Facebook and LinkedIn
and Gmail and everything, Google and Yahoo, because he protects
those companies, the fascist companies, while yelling all
kinds of total nonsense about other things, and he is indeed
now seen as a hero, and it has to stop because I'm calling him
out as an agent. So if you look at this, their Spiegel article,
the first thing that really made me mad, which is very easy for
everyone to just you can Google this. They he's trying to frame
how many evil people are working at T A AU, which is total
awareness operation or whatever the hell is it? What does he
call it? Oh, come to me of the NSA. And here's how they're
Spiegel frames it. And he's credited as one of the
journalists now. In January 2010, numerous homeowners in San
Antonio, Texas stood baffled in front of their closed garage
doors. They wanted to drive to work or head off to their
grocery shopping, but the garage door openers had gone dead
leaving them stranded. No matter how many times they pressed the
buttons the doors wouldn't budge. The problem primarily
affected residents in the western part of the city around
military drive and the interstate highway known as loop
410. And the United States a country of cars and commuters.
The mysterious garage door problem quickly became an issue
for local politicians. Ultimately, the municipal
government solved the riddle fault for the error lay with the
United States foreign intelligence service. The
National Security Agency, which has offices in San Antonio
official at the agency were forced to admit that one of the
NSA is radio antennas was broadcasting at the same
frequency as the garage door openers. Embarrassed officials
at the intelligence agency promised to resolve the issue as
quickly as possible. And soon the doors began opening again.
It was thanks for the garage door opener episode that Texans
learn just how far the NSA is work had encroached upon their
daily lives. For quite some time now the intelligence agency has
maintained a branch with around 2000 employees at Lackland Air
Force Base also in San Antonio. So he's saying essentially
because of these 2000 employees, and they started broadcasting
the secret signals. So if you look into this, just so that's
the framing he's trying to frame and say, you've got secret shit
gone on people. I happened to be a licenced amateur radio
operator and there's all kinds of open source information about
who is allowed to broadcast where and what. And this
actually started in 2005, when the Department of Defence not
the NSA per se, the department department department, the
Department of Defence defence, started their LM, our system,
the land mobile radio system, which are for all of the DOD,
not just the NSA. And you can there are stories going back to
2005, not 2010. But back to 2005, even in Canadia, Canada
Navia. And I have these links in the show notes when this started
to happen. And if you look at garage door openers, and there
were there was fair warning that the LMR was going to be on the
350 megahertz. Frequency in that range, which is what these non
unlicensed part 15 garage door openers are. And the rule with
part 15 from the 390 megahertz the rule from part 15 Is that
you may use very low power on certain frequencies. But you
have to yield two priorities and priority licensors licensees of
the frequency which the government they send out their
information said hello garage door guys. We're going to start
operating our LMR world globally but really all across United
States on This frequency and they ignored it.
Right They were told to go to 315 s
and they ignored it. And this is the framing of your huge not
just by just one set up set it up that
yeah, no, I agree I've no I think you're right. But then
they ignored it because they're just lazy
right but for the dare Spiegel to frame an entire NSA is evil
with this does not bode well for the journalism contained there.
And as far as I'm concerned, that bode well for the article.
No, it does not it's really stupid. A looked
into it, and some lawyers are crooked.
Now Applebaum, if you look at his Wikipedia entry, has pretty
much worked for the government. You know, so why all of a sudden
everyone is so accepting of him as some hero is beyond me. It
truly is beyond me. If you look at his Wikipedia page, I'm gonna
go do that. Yeah, in fact, I'll play the jingle independent
computer security researcher and hacker. He was employed by the
University of Washington, a core member of the Tor Project
represented WikiLeaks at the hope conference. Yeah, he just
that's what he popped onto the scene. Never
picture of him on the Wikipedia. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Terrible.
Yeah.
So he's essentially
Okay. By the way, he Laura Poitras does this too.
Well, hold on here. Let's go back for a second, because this
is very important. He was brought into this by Laura
Poitras. Now, Laura Poydras. I have I have yet to see a serious
interview, a serious analysis of who she is. And both Poitras and
Applebaum are doing something that is really that I'm that I'm
going to start doing, John, how many years? Did the United
States stop me and investigate me at the border? How many
years?
Let me just quote right from this because it applies to you.
He has subsequently been repeatedly targeted by a US law
enforcement agency, how many
I went to maybe three years I could not get into the country
without being questioned for hours. And what's great about
your being targeted, my friend, both Laura Poitras, and
Applebaum have no proof. They have no proof that they were
held at the border. There's no proof that just saying it.
I don't have the proof either. I mean, how can I prove that
happen? They don't give you a note.
Wire one time, if you remember. Did I
wear a wire? Yeah. Did we record that? Yeah, we broadcast it.
Yeah. And we should find that. I was wearing a wire.
wasn't that interesting?
So so this gives this is Laura Poitras, his entire credibility
and Apple bombs is that they've been stopped by the US Customs.
My wife gets thrown into the fish tank every single time she
arrives at US Customs. She's being targeted. Targeted. We're
both being targeted. So this is not credibility. It's bullshit.
You fucking shill. I'm sorry, I get really mad about this.
Alright, so Poydras. Now if no one has read the
same thing. Now he was detained with an actual number, detained
him 12 times at the US border after trips abroad and seize the
laptop. Yeah.
Poydras. Now Poydras is very interesting. If you have not
read about the the IED attack when she was in Iraq, and
happened to be up on the roof. So, in fact, I'm going to find
the exact article for you because I think it is. It is
quite important. You've read about this, haven't you, John?
Here it is. US soldiers alleged Poitras, co author of NSA Oh
yeah, no,
no, we had a clip we had a clip describing the situation where
ToysRUs apparently had set these guys up and guys were killed in
the process. That's why the military hates her.
The military does not like her. And she lied about this setup.
So what happened to was a she was filming she was staying with
some with what was thought to be the kingpin of this. Of this IED
attack in Iraq in what was it? I have to find it here. Why am I
got the links in the show notes when she was up on the roof
filming when this IED attack took place? A couple of guys got
hurts badly think one or two died. And then she denied it but
later she wrote an email which has been published. She said
yeah, no, I was on the roof. I was filming and in other words,
she knew that this was going to take place and she did not tell
her fellow countrymen Hey, you know you're gonna get killed get
killed. No, she felt it was more important to get the footage
which makes her the traitor in my mind that And she's never
been prosecuted for that or anything. It's someone who does
that for the, for the for love of film, cinema, it really is
needs to check herself. That's really very, very low and the US
military does not like her for this very reason. The words got
out. So whatever, however she somehow was getting her money,
we know that she's a MacArthur Fellow, so she got some money
from there, but she's certainly not to be trusted. But anyway,
so she somehow is the one that Snowden reaches out to why this
happens. You know, we have our thoughts about this being a CIA
operation who do the real work who really do kill people, they
do wet work they do. They kill people on the street, they kill
people in any way they need to. They kill people with drones.
And they truly are building the Internet of Things. They have
their investments in all companies that are now being
protected, interestingly enough by Applebaum. But the NSA, the
pansy boys, and the technology that is oh, so scary. It's so
scary. It's also scary. This is what Applebaum is promoting. So
I took his hour, and I chopped it up, I got a lot of clips, but
it's they're huge. Most of them are very, very short. But I want
to dissect this, and I think it's important to us that we
need to help people understand this guy may not be your friend.
I certainly don't think he's any, any kind of hero. And
there's in addition to this, John, I think there's a gay
thing going on. And, you know, we're obviously proponents of
anyone doing whatever they want to do.
Well, there is a mention I should manage, say in the in the
Wikipedia article that he worked for kink.com I don't know what
he did there. But he was kicked off an internet pornography
operation out of San Francisco. Oh, they're probably working
memory. This is
where they had the whole he his technology was running servers
that had Pedobear crap on
it. Yeah, it's a lot of BDSM BDSM stuff cat fighting
finishes.
But I think there is a because maybe these people are being
controlled through sexuality or some other thing. Look at
Greenwald. I pretty sure Applebaum is gay and I'm pretty
sure Laura Poitras is gay. This is
I would not, I would say just appear by appearances and also
the way they act when they're on the interviews. I don't think
there's any question about that.
Right. But I I'm always worried when all when you Yeah, when you
bring in sexuality into spying, it goes hand in hand somehow.
I'm not sure how it fits in, but it will, some of that may become
apparent to some of these clips. So first, here is Applebaum
framing his speech?
So what's it all about, though? Fundamentally, it's about
control baby.
Okay, so he's also trying to do stick
control baby.
He said that, yes, he's trying to do Austin Powers stick on
stage. And there's no rafter.
And that is what we're going to get into. It's not just about
control of machines. What happened with rainfall is about
control of people. And fundamentally, when we talk
about things like internet freedom, and we talk about Hold
on, when someone uses Internet freedom, they're on the wrong
side of the debate, as far as I'm concerned, but
tactical surveillance and strategic surveillance. We're
talking about control of people through the machinery that they
use. And this is a really, I think, a really, kind of, you
know, I'm trying to make you laugh a little bit, because what
I'm going to show you today is risks living depressing.
So he this is a common theme of him framing this now there's
about 6000 people in the audience who have paid for this.
And I haven't going to just guess that if you have the chaos
computing club's annual conference, the three Oh, C
three, I'm going to guess that maybe there's some spies and
intelligence operatives in the audience of just guessing. And
maybe there's one on stage, and everything this particular guy
says is scary. It's frightening. It's scary. It's risks leading
depressing.
Basically, the NSA, they want to be able to spy on you. And they,
if they have 10 different options for spying on you that
you know about, they have 13 ways of doing it, and they do
all 13. What does that mean?
What does that mean?
I think he's slipping up. And as you'll hear in a lot of what
he's talking about in this speech, he's, he's exposing
things that he is privy to that have never been discussed by
Snowden, or it has not been released in public by Snowden,
that's for sure. But also not by Glenn Greenwald, or Bart Gellman
and Rohde Applebaum also had an interview with Snowden. And he
published that event snowed and Snowden had a kind of a
different voice in that interview was little more snarky
and so who the hell knows if he even actually spoke with him?
But I'm telling you Apple bomb is not clean.
So that's a that's a pretty scary thing scare him Scary
basically their goal scary
that they they have, there's 10 ways they'll use 13. That's
pretty scary. Yeah,
be very scary,
is to have total surveillance of everything that they're
interested in. So there really is no boundary to what they want
to do. There is only sometimes a boundary of what they are funded
to be able to do and the amount of things they're able to do at
scale. They seem to just do those things without thinking
too much about it. And they're specific, this
is all subjective conjecture. He's this, he has no proof for
this. And I'm not defending the NSA. But this guy is I know, a
pitch man, when I see one, I know a huckster and a Chuckster.
When I hear one, this guy is selling you something
tactical things where they have to target a group or an
individual. And those things seem limited, either by budget
or simply by their time. And as we have released today, on their
struggles website, which it shouldn't be live, I just
checked, it should be live for everyone here,
oh, a woman, I'm sorry, that would be the supporting sales
materials in their Spiegel, where we set up the really scary
fact that the NSA use the the national land mobile radio
system, and it screwed up garage door openers that were legacy.
Yeah,
we actually show a whole bunch of details about their budgets,
as well as the individuals involved with the NSA and the
Tailored Access Operations Group in terms of numbers,
the Tailored Access Operations Group. So here, here he is
talking about that one specific thing, John, the numbers,
there's 2000, people who are ruining garage door openers,
so should give you a rough idea, showing that there was a small
period of time in which the internet was really free. And we
did not have people from the US military that we're watching
over it, and exploiting everyone on it. And now we see every year
that the number of people who are hired to break into people's
computers, as part of grand operations. Those people are
growing day by day, actually. And every year, there are more
and more people that are allocated and we see this
growth.
Wow, oh, my god, well, I'm so happy to see the growth because
they're exploiting everyone. This is this is his This is his
entire
speech is not about Google giving your information to the
government. It is not about Yahoo giving you information to
the government,
about Mueller hanging out the best Facebook. In fact, Facebook
is not even mentioned once, in this entire speech. It is all
about low level, technical hacks and cracks. That may you know,
it's to me, it's like Get Smart chaos 1950s. So what this is
chicken shit compared to what's really going on. But this is
what is happening. He's taking a group of very intelligent
people, and is snowing them. I mean, listen to his proof,
there is a planetary strategic surveillance system. And they're
while they're many of them, actually, everything from I
think off planetary surveillance gear, which is probably the
National Reconnaissance Office, and their satellite systems for
surveillance, like the keyhole satellites. These are all things
most, for the most part, we actually know about these
things. They're on Wikipedia.
Oh, well, of course. It's on Wikipedia. So of course, yeah,
of course. Now, it's not that I don't don't want to believe
this. But what kind of speech? Are you doing what you're
saying, Oh, they have offworld listening devices. That's the
NRO. Of course, these this shooting stuff in space all the
time. But because on Wikipedia, that's your proof. Please don't
insult me.
But I want to talk a little bit more about the internet side of
things because I think that's really fascinating. It's really
part of what we are really
what does it accent from that? He says part an important isn't
what kind of accent is that? Is that like a Buffalo New York
accent? Or where's that from?
It's one of those accents. That is I think is milieu based, that
you will not find, you know, as a general unless it's like, it's
a community based accent is you'll never really discover
you'll find other people that have the accent, like we had
with the Soledad O'Brien and a group of women that have this
kind of anxious way of presenting and reading, which
somebody I think described as sitting on the toilet trying to
trying to take a crap accent, but you won't find it as I don't
think you're right. We'd have to find some really good linguists
that could identify it. I don't know. But just
a note, the first thing that I see in the chat room is Adam is
spreading disinfo he hasn't even watched the presentation. You
know what? Clip it without watch. And Q How can even duck
when you even spray? Well, how can you even say that? I watched
that
guy kick him off
briefing today with their Spiegel or what has actually
been released. Just to be clear on the timeline. I'm not
disclosing at first. I'm working as an independent journalist
summarising the work that we have already released onto the
internet as part of a publication house that went
through a very large editorial process. In which we redacted
all the names of agents and information about those names,
including their phone numbers and email addresses.
Now, now explain this applause to me. So he just goes through
this whole thing which is barely understandable. I didn't do this
by myself. We work with a huge organisation we'd read them and
talk to everyone we redacted it would put it up and no agents
names were exposed and everybody's clapping what are
they the agents in the audience? Yeah, it must be they're all
happy all. Thanks for not
exposing me man. Yeah, I'm gonna have to quit and go work for
General Motors mean, that
is literally what I'm hearing. Am I nuts? No, I think
that's exactly why else would you clap,
where the clapping for this phone numbers
and email addresses. And I should say that I actually think
that the laws here are wrong, because they are in favour of an
oppressor who is criminal. So when we redact the names of
people who are engaged in criminal,
I can't listen to it. It's this is very interesting. I know,
listen to you,
including drone murder, we are actually
home. back that up. He's talking about drone murder, NSA doesn't
run drone,
we redact the names of people who are engaged in criminal
activity, including drone murder, we are actually not
doing the right thing. But I believe that we should comply
with the law in order to continue to publish.
Okay, so he's saying that somehow, he knows he has
information that he has received from people who are involved in
criminal activity committing drone murder, which is really
would be the CIA, but okay. And they've decided not to publish
that. So that they can continue to publish, dude, if you know
that someone's in the government is involved in actual criminal
activity and murder a human you need to be a real hero and and
fess up with that. That's not That's not okay. And he makes it
worse.
I think it may be illegal not to.
But he's saying that that's not the way he No, he says,
no, no, I'm but I'm just saying, I there may be a statute
that if you see that you that'd be may be true.
That if you see something, you must say something in this
instance.
So he's he's saying, I want to release the names, but I can't
because otherwise we can't publish. Yeah, well, what's more
important? No, no, no, that's what that's what he said. Well,
I
noticed when he said the whole thing is it is this bowl, he
just well read this. None of this is true.
Well, here he now he does those lists of
drone murderers
kit now we have now he makes it even worse, by hedging. And
saying, Well, you know, sometimes it's legitimate what
the NSA does, flabbergasted that no one is throwing watermelons
at this guy. We also
redacted the names of victims of NSA surveillance, because we
think that there's a balance. Unfortunately, there is a
serious problem, which is that the US government asserts that
you don't have standing to prove that you've been surveilled,
unless we release that kind of information. But we don't want
to release that kind of information in case it could be
a legitimate target
and a legitimate target. Hold on a second. I thought that this
all was all about this is all wrong. But none of the maybe
there's some legitimate targets. What is this term?
We I'm really uncomfortable with that term. But let's say that
there is a legitimate target the the most legitimate target and
we didn't want to make that decision. But we did also want
to make sure that we didn't harm someone. But we also wanted to
show concrete examples. So if you look at the Spiegel stuff
online, we redacted the names, even of those who are victimised
by the NSA is oppressive tactics, which I think actually
goes further than is necessary. But I believe that it strikes
the right balance to ensure continued publication and also
to make sure that people are not harmed and that legitimate good
things, however rare they may be. They are also not harmed Who
talks like that. An agent. I'm
he sounds like an insult. Yeah, right. Now, you
may know what is our one of our main, one of our main theories
about the NSA is is really about espionage. And it's about
corporate espionage and blackmail, and blackmail. But
yeah, but that's a part of the espionage. And he talked a lot
about this particular technology, which collaborative
collaboratively is called cue fire. And it just and when I
heard this, I'm like, oh, okay, that makes total sense. In our
theory,
fire is essentially a way to programmatically look at things
that flow across the internet that they see with turmoil. And
then using turbine they're able to actually inject packets to
try to do attacks. Interesting thing about cue fire also, is
that they have a thing that it's called a diode. Cue fire has
this really neat little detail, which is that they compromised
other people's routers and then redirect through them so that
they can beat the speed of light.
Oh, where did I hear that before? Beating the speed of
light. Do you recall the Federal Reserve meeting notes were
leaked? To end beat the speed of light not more than six, seven
weeks ago.
Well, this has happened a number of times this is the front
loading kind of where was the announcement supposed to happen
to two o'clock? Exactly. And somehow through some mystery
mechanism, I guess this is it. The message gets to some a few
insiders at
before the speed of light.
Before the speed of light would have made it. Yeah.
So thank you. Now, and he goes into a lot of detail about that,
that you go watch the whole thing if you want to learn and
actually he's pretty bad at explaining it. But I'm like,
okay, yeah, that makes sense. Sure. These guys use that to
cheat. They use a diode. Yeah, the apparently that diode. And
then I was so surprised. We don't have to worry about a
thing, John, the NSA is not looking for you. They're not
looking for me.
And as far as I can tell, it's being used for at scale
exploitation, which is not really, in my mind a targeted
particularised type of thing. But rather its fishing
operations, its fishing expeditions. It's more like
fishing crusades, if you will. And in some cases, looking at
the evidence, that seems to be what it is targeting Muslims, I
might add, oh, because that's what they're interested in
doing.
Oh, okay. This is that's news. They're only targeting Muslims,
apparently. Where did this show up in the documentation? I don't
know. I never heard this. No. Now let's go back and catch him
in a huge lie. And he starts to ramp up. His hand is holding the
hand above the heads of the US fascist companies who are
complicit with the government and are giving your information
to the government just for money. As far away is eight
miles. This is about the packet injection that can be done as
far away from eight miles. And just to make sure you're scared,
he's going to lie about something he has no proof for,
to inject packets. So presumably using this, they're able to
exploit a kernel vulnerability of some kind parsing the
wireless frames. And yeah, I've heard that they actually put
this hardware from sources inside of the NSA and inside of
other intelligence agencies, that they actually put this type
of hardware on drones so that they fly them over areas that
they're interested in, and they do mass exploitation of people.
Now, we don't have a
No wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you're killing the punch line.
Back it up. Now, we don't have a document that substantiates that
part. But we do have this document that actually claims
that they've done it for up to eight miles away.
So he has a product sheet. That that is a device that up to
eight miles away can inject packets through wireless data
frames. And he makes up by saying I know from people inside
the intelligence agency, they put this in drones and fly over
and compromise everybody in one fell swoop. I can't prove that
but I've heard about it. Come on Apple bomb. Now all he has is
that this thing will do eight miles. Okay, great. Fabulous.
Again, bull trap it but it also doesn't matter. You know, this
is don't have enough people in the world to deal with all this.
This is not where the true intelligence gathering is taking
place. Let's listen to him talk about the company's here's the
ramp up.
So that's a really interesting thing, because it tells us that
they understand that common wireless cards, probably running
Microsoft Windows, which is an American company that they know
about vulnerabilities and they keep them the secret to use
them.
Now, this is not a throwaway line, this this this American
company thing this is becomes this common theme. This is
part of a constant theme of sabotaging and undermining
American companies and American ingenuity, boo.
But they're undermining American companies and American
ingenuity.
Oh, the opposite of what's going exactly. Oh,
but wait, it's time for some credibility. Wanna make
a couple points clear? This wasn't clear. Even though it was
written in The New York Times by my dear friend Laura portress,
who is totally fantastic, by the way, and but your brain yours?
Oh, yes. You're great.
You're great. You're priceless. My dear friend. You're great.
Hey, thanks for killing those soldiers. Now this company thing
this is so I'm glad you're picking up on her son. So
Emperor Alexander, the head of the NSA really has a lot of
power. If they want to right now. They will know that the
IMEI of this phone is interesting. It's very warm,
which is another funny thing.
So he pulls out an iPhone and it's like, oh, yeah, they can
hack it right now. It's warm. Oh, yeah. They must be rooting
around in it as we speak. That's obvious.
And we'll be able to break into this Almost certainly and then
turn on the microphone, and all without to court. So that, to me
is really scary. Especially just like the fact that if you were
to be building these types of things, they treat you as an
opponent, if you wish to be able to fulfil the promises that you
make to your customers.
Now listen to what he's saying, if you want to build these
things like Apple builds iPhones or like he brings it back to him
a lot, I build Free Software, I build free software, and I don't
want to give up they are against me.
And as someone who writes security software, I think
that's bullshit.
Bullshit. Now taking money from Google and Pierre Omidyar and
the NEA, the National, the recent Naval Research Laboratory
in the State Department. That's bullshit Apple bomb. So
if the NSA wanted to tomorrow, they could kill every anonymity
system that exists, of course, by just forcing everyone who
connects to an anonymity system to reset. That's the same way
that the Chinese do scary right now in China with the Great
Firewall of China. Oh, so that's like the NSA builds the
equivalent of the Great Firewall of Earth?
Oh, yes. The firewall. That's scary.
That's, to me, that's a really scary, heavy handed thing to
carry. And I'm sure they only use it for good. Oh, yeah, back
here in reality, that, to me is a really scary thing, especially
because one of the ways that they are able to use the word
scary throughout
the whole speech. That's why I took that clip, specifically,
and here comes Scary, scary, scary. So here comes the dumbest
of all gay jokes I have in fact, it is a gay death joke really?
Which makes it so unfunny. And this is where I'm like, why are
you why are you doing this? And you could the audience is
uncomfortable. I don't think anyone got the joke. They're
just like, whoa.
So there was a joke. You know, when you download mp3 as you
ride with communism from the 90s
Do you remember this great joke. When you download mp3? You ride
with communism? Who made that joke? I don't remember this
joke. I don't remember that joke at all. But he's gonna use this
joke to take it into an even worse job. So
there was a joke you know, when you download mp3 as you ride
with communism from the 90s Some of you may remember this. When
you bear back with the internet, you ride with the NSA.
When you bear back on the internet, you ride with the NSA.
A bareback of course is a sexual term for not using any
protection usually used in gay porn.
Yeah, it's a gay term funny funny going for
Yeah, I'm gonna get AIDS from the NSA that what you're saying
what are you trying to say Applebaum as a as a
play it again so we can get because he had a little punch
line at the end he tried to make up for this lad does
so there was a joke. You know, when you download mp3 as you
ride with communism from the 90s. Some of you may remember
this. When you bareback with the internet, you ride with the NSA.
Or you're getting a ride, going for a ride
and stick to your lies and stop with the stick. Okay, now he's
off
track, clearing his throat so much when
you're lying. And you're nervous about lying, and you're up on
stage. And you're shilling to protect the very companies that
have given you money. The very people have given you money ie
the State Department, Google, Pierre Omidyar. These vary, and
by the way, if you look for the enzyme grants from 2006, you
Google it, you can go you can look through all the Omidyar
Network, they do not even record there's not a single mention of
this award of the enzyme grant. There's not a single mention of
the Tor project, but it's all over you see all over his
materials. And what how does that happen that they just
denounced renounce their award, they don't talk about it
anymore. I wouldn't nonprofit removes an award from their
website never happened. So I don't think it ever I don't
think it happened that way. It doesn't matter. There's more
nuttiness, he's off the rails Fox
acid is essentially like a watering hole type of attack
where you go to you go to URL, quantum insert, puts like an
iframe or put some code on your, in your web browser, which you
then execute, which then causes you to load resources. One of
the resources that you load while you're loading cnn.com,
for example, which is one of their examples. They like that,
by the way. So you know, that's a extremists site. So you might
have heard about that. That's a lot of Republicans in the United
States read it. So right before they wage, illegal imperialist
wars, so
Okay, so you go to cnn.com. You might have heard of this site.
It is a it is a what do you say terrorist site or whatever? A
lot of Republicans read it before they wage imperialistic
illegal wars? Is the Is this the kind of information that people
accept in these intelligent computer hacking circles?
Republicans read CNN before they wage illegal wars. The point is
that, why imperialistic
wars?
Let's hear it again. Versus the you load while you're loading
cnn.com, for example, which is one of their examples. They like
that, by the way. So you know, that's a extremists site. So you
might have heard about that. It's a lot of Republicans in the
United States read it. So right before they wage, illegal,
imperialist wars. So the point is that you go to a fox acid
server, and it basically does a survey of your box.
You know, that's what is his agenda? I'm sorry. Only
Republicans read CNN. Before they waged imperialistic wars. I
don't know, man, your Democratic president is the one pulling the
trigger. I'm gonna speed up a little bit. Let's just talk
about
houses like this guy. Yeah, yeah. This is a good, this is
not. This is pretty straightforward stuff. That
mean, this guy is just I don't know why, why he's become such a
such a cause celeb Oh,
but don't you see? And what's
he living in? What's the Berlin thing going on? And what is the
Berlin angle here?
Be? Well, I would subject that Poydras. And Appelbaum, our
agents for the Germans. Berlin has a huge, yes. Like, hey,
yeah, no, no, but the Berlin has a huge base for the German
intelligence,
right? It's a new building. And then somebody mentioned they
were actually their apartment or wherever they're staying is
nearby. Yes, you could walk to work
this. Yeah. So this, this this? Why doesn't anyone even suggest
that I'll be limited? Let it be me. I think these people are
agents for the Germans. Why else all of a sudden, is it so
important that Angular Merkel has been spied on? Because
that's, that's their boss, as far as I'm concerned. And you
know, the Germans are very angry. They're not in the five
eyes. Now, so this is this is not all that hard to comprehend.
But because he goes into this detail with a couple of RIT,
literally just a couple of boxes on a PowerPoint slide and says,
This is what it is. And yeah. Are they real NSA documents? And
they look authentic? Does it? Does it show me code? Does it
show it working in the field? Do you have any proof of the drones
flying over and compromising everyone's wireless networking
frames? Can
you imagine the scrambled spaghetti you'd get if you're at
40,000 feet, which is eight miles, and you were trying to
pick up the all the Wi Fi signals, which you can't detect
at that distance? I don't care what you say, No, that's not I
just don't want that I have to travel that, John.
No, that's not true. As you know, on 911 people were able to
call from their cell phones. So this, you know that that is
absolutely technically technically possible. But this
is the problem, because people get the the people in this
audience are being this is a psychological operation of epic
proportions. And these people who are very intelligent are not
thinking straight. Yeah, I'm against the government, at this
95% of this show is based on that. But when you're being
duped by an obvious, but clearly the guy has been paid by this,
he's not even ashamed of saying it. He's been paid by the State
Department. He's been paid by Google. He's been paid by all
these people. He's lying to you.
Now. Another interesting point is that for the Yahoo packet to
be beaten, the NSA must impersonate Yahoo. This is a
really important detail, because what it tells us is that they
are
this, by the way sounds exactly like stuff that ISPs do. And
that British Telecom was setting up that to provide you with
different advertising. It's like deep packet inspection. And I
think that's what this technology essentially is, is to
beat the packets from the advertiser to inject different
advertising. Yeah, no, this is a very common practice. Yeah, but
he's making it sound like you're going to Yahoo to get I don't
know, some news. And they're changing the information and
sending it back to you with different information. Like what
is the point? What is it what to show me the
duck directory? It giving you different stories? Yeah, the
Duck Duck Dynasty is not true. The guy does he loves gays.
Isn't that true?
essentially conscripting Yahoo and saying that they are Yahoo.
So they are impersonating a US company, to a US company user.
And they are not actually supposed to be in this
conversation at all and
another US company Oh, and they do it, then they of course,
basically, if you're using Yahoo, you're definitely going
to get on so. And I don't just mean
oh, well, maybe if Yahoo had, I don't know granted some money to
your Tor Project. Maybe you wouldn't be fucking with them
like this. Why single out Yahoo. If you're using Yahoo, you're
gonna get own because you're an idiot. And
that and that Yahoo is vulnerable. They are. But I
mean, people that use Yahoo tend to maybe it's a bad
generalisation. But you know, they're not the most security
conscious people know,
you're a dick. You're stupid. Use Yahoo user you because they
didn't spend any money on me like Google did
that I think you're dead on on this. There's this this sounds
like, you know, this is like a Jesse Jackson tactic. Oh, are
you supporting this operation? Are you supporting the
tour? The tour? The Rainbow Coalition? Exactly. Yeah, well,
you're not supporting as well, you know, we got to take a look
your minority hiring.
Alright, so let's get to the crux of what he's really trying
to do, which is protect the companies, mainly the ones that
have paid him in the past, from any persecution. This is the
same thing that we were talked about the other day on some tech
shows, where they're saying, all the tech companies are they're
outraged. They're so mad, because they're getting blamed.
And they went to the President and said, President, we're not
having this anymore. Stop. We don't want we're not doing
anything bad. An apple bomb has been paid.
Now we're gonna name a bunch of companies because fuck those
guys basically, for collaborating when they do and
fuck them for leaving us vulnerable when they do.
Oh, let's name some names. Fuck those guys. Oh, let's see who
we're gonna say. Fuck you apple. Fuck you Google. Fuck you Yahoo.
What else? Linked in Twitter, Skype, Microsoft, all of that.
Yeah, no, no, oh, gee, no. Yeah. Fuck those guys. I'm gonna name
names bad. I'm
the most loving way. victims, actually,
some of them are victims, John may be the ones that paid him
important to note that we don't yet understand, which is which.
So it's important to name them so that they have to go on
record, so that they can stay where they are, and so that they
can give us enough rope to hang themselves.
So what did he say? I love this term where he messes this one up
on record,
so that they can stay where they are, and so that they can give
us enough rope to hang themselves.
They can give us enough rope to hang themselves. Yeah, they've
got it backwards, because he's lying that he's got it
backwards.
I really want that to happen, because I think it's important
to find out who collaborated and who didn't collaborate.
Okay, so this is this now we're getting down to it, who
collaborated? And who didn't collaborate, this collaborator?
That's right. And if you're a collaborator, we're gonna shave
all your hair off. And by the way, he's
given the speech. He's what, where's he giving a speech in
Berlin? That collaborator is a term that's not really
recognised too much by Americans. But it's a very nasty
term for France, and Germany, in particular, because it's where
the East Berlin or the East Germans are they were
collaborating with it was the governor, the evil government.
And this is a this is a charged word he didn't you use it for a
reason.
Yes. And it was very interesting. I'm watching the
chat room out of the corner of my eye. And the chat room is not
understanding what we're doing. Because I think a lot of people
who are in IRC chat rooms command line, really want to
believe what this guy is selling. And I'm willing to put
my ass on the line and to be burned, which is what we'll get.
We'll get a lot of emails, I'm sure I don't carry it. But one
day, some of you will thank me. Now
so this is again, the chatroom goes back into his normal sour
quality state. Yeah, it's like milk you know, once it goes bad.
So we so we have this. Now here. Here's one of the big things and
if you google this, if it's it's all over the web, the NSA can
has complete access to any iPhone can get into the iPhone
can turn on the microphone can take your contacts, your text
messages at any given moment, and he has a slide which he
published on bear Spiegel with four boxes, and some ludicrous
name like blow up Jeep, something Euro Jeep, whatever,
four boxes, no code, no working examples, but a slide that says
we can own any iPhone now. We know that the first slide that
came out ever was About prism. And I think this was the
mistake. I think this is where that's somehow it didn't
something went wrong. And that slide was never supposed to make
it out. Because it's it showed all the companies that are this
is this is what he is now covering up in his speeches. And
this has been this they've done everything they can to. And that
that phoney meeting with the President was part of the scheme
to Cisco is there by
the way, yeah, Cisco wasn't at the meeting, or HP wasn't at the
meeting. Now. So we have Tim Cook, Tim Collins, Tom, Tom,
whatever his name is. Tim Cook. We know that. Only a few months
after Steve Jobs died. According to that slide. Apple joined the
prism programme. And I'm pretty convinced that Glenn Greenwald
was chosen specifically for this push for this scam of
discrediting a whole bunch of agents and and covering up what
the CIA really does. And Greenwald ran with it. This was
a mistake, this first slide because now because now we have
to run interference and get everyone back on track and focus
on hacking from drones. And you know, love that hacking from you
know, cable connectors and all kinds of stuff. And I'm going to
show the ludicrousness of this. And just as I wind this up in
just a minute, can I
ask a simple question here, since you've done all the
research, was apple on the list of donors?
You know, Apple was not on the list of donors. But now I want
you to listen to his version of the Apple iPhone hacking. So are
my version is Yes, I saw the first slide. I think that is
probably true. And Steve Jobs probably died a superhero he
probably he probably got killed. I never know I don't know any
elites who die of cancer. Now this guy has to die of cancer.
Why that guy? And he dies of cancer, shitty as cancer. And
three months later, they're on the list. I think they waited
for him to die. Tim Cook Collins, by the way, gay I hate
to do this because I'm not anti gay. But there's a gay thing. I
hear the comments quite the opposite. Thank you. But there's
a common theme here. And all of a sudden, we have all this
information at the iPhone can be compromised. What is Applebaum?
Say?
Here's an iPhone backdoor. So, drop out jeep. So you can see
right there. So SMS contacts, list retrieval, voicemail, hot
microphone, camera capture cell tower location. Cool. Do you
think Apple helped them with that? I don't know. I hope Apple
will clarify that. I think it's really important that Apple
doesn't. Here's a problem. I don't really believe that Apple
didn't help them. I can't prove it yet. But they literally
claimed.
Stop, stop, stop. So I would let him finish. Let him finish.
You gotta go back because I think there's something we both
missed. I have to hear it. Okay. The he says let me just tell you
what he said. He said, I would like to have apple. clarify
that. I hope it doesn't.
You know, this whole if you go all the way up to the end, I'm
going to play the whole thing again. And let's try let's
refrain from making any noise. Go.
Here's an iPhone back door. So drop out jeep. So you can see
right there. So SMS contact, list retrieval, voicemail, hot
microphone camera captures cell tower location. Cool. Do you
think Apple help them with that? I don't know. I hope Apple will
clarify that I think it's really important that Apple doesn't.
Here's a problem. I don't really believe that Apple didn't help
them. I can't prove it yet. But they literally claim that
anytime they target an iOS device, that it will succeed for
implantation. Either they have a huge collection of exploits that
work against Apple products, meaning that they are hoarding
information about critical systems that American companies
produce and sabotaging them. Or Apple sabotaged it themselves.
Not sure which one it is. I'd like to believe that since Apple
didn't join the prison programme until after Steve Jobs died,
that maybe it's just the right that they read shitty software.
Wow. So his take on this, by the way, let's hear it. Let's cue
the applause. We know that's true. Ha ha ha. No, Apple
doesn't write shitty software. All software is shitty. So his
take on this is if Apple didn't do this, they're not complicit.
Steve Jobs died and they write shitty software. Wow. That blood
blows me away.
Well, how about this? And by the way, I still think it's telling
that he says I hope Apple does. I I agree. I agree. I agree.
You're good catch. Okay, wait, wait, wait, how about this, all
software companies that write elaborate systems like that, and
that would put Microsoft on top of this IBM did the same thing
with OS do they have a way that you can remotely control the
product so you can analyse and fix it from a distance. So you
don't have to have people bringing stuff in and back and
forth. So you can turn your machine you call IBM. When the
days of stupidity with Microsoft, you say, I can't my
machines to acting funny. And you can in some sense
situations, the guys could say, Can I would like to take control
your machine If you'd allow me to? Yes. And they will
literally, you have a there's a back door and they will look at
all this stuff from from their perspective. And it's got a lot
of different things that wouldn't surprise me in the
least, if there was a remote control way to turn on the
microphone or the camera. Why wouldn't there be
Apple bombs mission? Of course, of course there is Apple bombs
mission is to protect the very same companies that are
fascistic ly involved. That is the true definition of fascism,
with the government, particularly in Culebra
tutorship with the government and here's his wrap up.
Look at that. It's another American company that they are
sabotaging they understand that HPs
they being the NSA is sabotaging these American companies, John
sabotaging them servers
are vulnerable. And they decided instead of explaining that this
is a problem, they exploited an Iron Chef through interdiction
is one of the ways that they will do that. So I want to
really harp on this. Now, it's not, I think European companies
are worth less. I suspect, especially after this talk, that
won't be true in the literal stock sense, but I don't know. I
think it's really important to understand that they are
sabotaging American companies because of the so called
homefield advantage. The problem is that as an American who
writes software, who wants to build hardware devices, this
really chills my expression. And it also gives me a problem,
which is that people say, Why would I use what you're doing?
You know, what about the NSA? Man, that really bothers me,
man, what you're saying really bothers me. You are protecting
the very companies that are complicit in this, the director
of the FBI walks around the halls freely at Facebook.
Where's that mention?
Well, there's a lot of dimensions to this. And I want
to mention another one, which you touched upon, which is he's
essentially slamming the American companies for writing
bad code and having the NSA all over it, for whatever reason,
never really explains it fully. And they are tapping in on
everything. So why would you want to use these products? So
if you're working for German intelligence, you want to
promote non American products by slamming the American which is
what he just said, he just this element seems to be there. Yeah.
He just when in fact, I think that our thesis, which is that
the NSA is really all about industrial espionage to benefit
American companies.
That's the sick part of it. I know. Wow. All right.
Let's just finish up with the last 20 deserve the Huawei
taint. And the NSA gives it and President Obama's own advisory
board that was convened to understand the scope of these
things has even agreed with me about this point, that this
should not be taking place. That hoarding of zero day exploits
cannot simply happen without thought processes that are
reasonable and rational and have an economic and social valuing
where we really think about the broad scale impact. I don't know
what report
he read, but the report that I read, which has exactly one
actual lawyer on it, and the rest is all intelligence, shills
said exactly the opposite, that they most definitely should have
zero day exploits on hand to use when appropriate, and they can
do it without going to the court. They can have the
Department of Justice ie Eric Holder say yeah, go ahead. We'll
go get the warrant later on. It's exactly the opposite. Okay,
so I don't know shit about technology. Okay, I'm dumb. And
this is what I'll get. You don't know. But why frame injection
packets? Koufax? backdoors No, I
don't but you wouldn't read the chat room play the rest of this.
No, no, I'm not I'm not.
I turned to the chat room to me. That was a chat room.
That's that was not the chat room guy that was experienced
guy. But I am a licenced amateur radio operator. I am licenced
twice. Now. It's important for this last bit. Because he went
at the very end of the speech he goes and I I have this whole
lead up. And he's saying who was surprised by this? Who thought
that they would be surprised by anything? I said, I'm gonna blow
your fucking mind now. And then he goes into this mind blowing
piece of technology. which is continuous wave radar. And this
continuous wave radar device as you will hear him set it up is
one kilowatt at about a gigahertz. I am licenced up to
1500 Watts 1.5 kilowatts. And I am licenced far into the
gigahertz spectrum. I know a thing or two about RF, this is
this genius his take on it, and the audience laps it up.
When I told Julian Assange about this, he he said it right, he
said, I bet the people who are around Hugo Chavez are going to
wonder what caused his cancer. And I said, you know, I hadn't
considered that. But, you know, I haven't found any data about
human safety about these tools, has the NSA performed tests
where they actually show that radiating people with one
kilowatt of RF energy at short range is safe.
Now what he's referring to is the CT x 4000. He shows the
slide on the screen. And the CT x 4000. as per its description,
is used to collect signals that otherwise would not be
collectible and extremely difficult to collect and process
the way it works is it spot it's like a radar and it spouts off
this one to two gigahertz beam 45 megahertz of bandwidth. And
whatever pops back it can then it can essentially can read
could even read your monitor the device that he's showing, and
the specs that he's showing says output power user adjustable up
to two watts using the internal amplifier, external amplifiers
make it possible to go up to one kilowatt, which is 500 watts
less than I'm then I and licenced to use after memorising
100 questions in the one to two gigahertz range. And he is now
spinning this a as if they are standing next to people with a
with a one kilowatt signal beaming it into their head. And
that this is how Hugo Chavez got cancer. Oh,
my God. No, you guys think I'm joking, right? Well, yeah, here
it is. This is a continuous wave generator, continuous wave radar
unit, you can detect its use because it's used between one
and two gigahertz. And it's bandwidth is up to 45 megahertz
user adjustable to watts. Using an internal amplifier, external
amplifier makes it possible to go up to one kilowatt. Just kind
of let you take that in for a moment.
Really, I can put up a wire in my back yard legally and blast
1.5 kilowatts at the same frequency. You don't need to
have that soak in Apple bomb. It's not a big deal. Don't stick
the wire in your mouth.
This is bullshit. And you get a nasty RF burn,
you can get it of course you can get an RF burn. But this but
he's making it sound like the evil NSA is blasting people with
a kilowatt from force four inches away.
Who's crazy now you are.
Hey, you gotta laugh.
So that goes on for four more minutes and people just lap it
up. I'm sorry, I actually know something about this. So
Applebaum. If as long as you pay him for his development work of
his free, quote unquote, software, I'm sure he'll protect
you. Google, from EDR. And I'm pretty sure that Glenn Greenwald
in all of this is he seems like the perfect guy to line up, he's
so narcissistic. He's so full of himself. He loves to see and
hear himself so much. This is what I think what happened, I
think, you know, yeah, there were 50,000 slides or documents
or whatever. They had to come up with this. There's more this
1.5 1.7 to keep Greenwald Shut up to keep him happy than to
think that he's going to get something else. He didn't have
it. I doubt it exists, but he doesn't have this. So sitting
there the true collaborateurs Poydras, who we know nothing
about and everyone gives her a free pass. Except for the US
Army who thinks she pretty much might have helped kill some
people, Americans and this guy all living in Berlin. I'm
disgusted by it. And I'm disturbed that people who truly
mean well and really understand technology are falling into this
trap of oh, look at all the exploits. So while their
information is being sucked away from the the true media
companies that were just giving a past to, and the internet of
things that the CIA is building, that's where it's really
happened, you being distracted and you're looking at all the
wrong things. Backslash oh and by the way, when he says, I
didn't clip this, if you're a reporter, you should only use
tales, which is a Linux instal on a USB stick, which uses up
Tor. I'd run away from anything Applebaum suggests to me.
Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Well, they do everyone. It's a
known fact that Tor is compromised. So I don't know why
people are so still to yakking about it. So it's not
as funny Mickey walked by the studio. And he's listening says,
you know, who said who was Applebaum? She she knows that at
this moment. She hasn't quit. She hasn't put it together
because I haven't done this whole spiel. I said, What do you
think he says, you know, whenever I hear someone talk
like this, like they've got it all figured out. I don't trust
them. Okay, I'll take that as instinct.
Yeah, well, okay. Well, that's a different conclusion is Apple
bomb is what he is. He's part of the Cabal. That's God that we
don't know what who they work for West Point. Well, the
conclusion kind of is he's protecting the true NSA. Which
is, is all the company do? It's AT and T It's Verizon. It's
Google. It's Yahoo.
No, he's protecting corporate interests. Yes. He's not
protecting the NSA at all. No.
Well, that but that is the NSA. Facebook is the NSA. It is the
FBI. This is it. That's what it is that that is that's the
database. This is no, this is not a secret, but you're being
distracted away. This is what it is.
Yeah, well, that's why I'm not on Facebook.
All right, let's take a break. I'm going to show
my son move by donation to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
So Craig phenomena we want to thank a few people here for
supporting today's show. $186.19, East Kilbride, South
Lancashire UK Good for him. Happy birthday or happy new year
Dorothy and Lillian. He started with an instant night when was
his donation to take me to a feminist sounding Baronet dice,
sir. Are and yeah, I think it's Sir Andrew MSNA destiny in
Colorado Springs. 12345. William Dorkin in Greenville, South
Carolina 12345. Nice as Dame Sam Minar. Okay. Happy New Year from
Dame Sam and his girls from the house of dubious repute. He sent
us pictures. That's right, Samantha, I believe.
And wait a minute. Does she not have a that's a Make It Rain
donation but no one requested on stage.
And she didn't request herself. She didn't have time to email
because I'm doing it on Sunday. Okay. And a lot of travelling.
Sheldon was weasoner Weisner, Weisner in Lubbock, Texas, on
$11.11 I want to start by saying I'm so thankful for the analysis
you produce every week. There's my first donation a long time.
In my road to knighthood I figured I'd start the year off
with a bang before I hop on much smaller donation befitting
second year political science major and other students good.
Yeah. And we're influencing the student tree. He's got dough
bought
mom, Karen to the stage. We'll bring her up on Sunday at the
douching for my longtime Boehner status and a douchebag call out
for the guy on the internet who says I like to suck off closeted
conservative queers. Okay, not sure what this had to do with
the global warming debate. This is the reaction people have when
presented with the facts learned on the no agenda show. I take it
as a good sign. Yeah, so that's what somebody called him.
When he when he I guess he was talking about like, hey, the
rich kids of Instagram are stuck in the ice. Hey, you go soak off
your closet of conservative queer friends. Which I guess is
us. We I guess we're the closeted conservative queers.
Yeah, speak for yourself. Get give him a douching Of course.
You've been de deuced
on this rattle off the rest of the fine folks. Oops, no. One
dollars and Berlin. Sorry, I missed that. By the way. Agent
Orange, go check on these these people over there and tell us
what you find
here. We know Agent Orange and it This is a New Year's gift
from him. And he's he is in Berlin and he gives me
information about what's going on in Berlin. So I speak with
some Berlin knowledge and knowledge. Here we go.
Ivo Welton and am him. Arnie is it aren't aren't on him
Evo velten. Evo Veltins
but he said 99 from Barnum RNM Deutschland, I'm sorry. Yeah,
that's good. Holland. Yeah. Candice Hart. 77 saqa sevens
from Austin, Texas right down the street from you, Chris, and
she's got a birthday coming up, or somebody does. Christine
Zachman and lost wages Nevada and another sack of sevens and
other birthdays. 16 I did. James Burke, six United six and a half
from Richmond, North Yorkshire Yorkshire. Trent Ravus. Webb is
whiteness. Sneaky rabbit 6969 from Elwood, Victoria, Canada,
Australia. I'm sorry and Timothy Tillman, in Mechanicsville,
Virginia. That closes that Nicholas Betson in Geelong. Get
along G long was on the dime Australia which is nice to get
our Aussie friends involved. Michaela, which Roman in St.
Petersburg Russia $55
From Russia with hate. He says hey, yeah,
Shannon Adkins Warren, Michigan Michaels Siegenthaler. There's a
5050 Miko Siegenthaler in Phoenix, Arizona fifth 50 And
then the $50 come in for came in from John de Vela in Naperville,
Illinois. Greg are short Greg Brunson and Kenosha, Wisconsin,
Karl Baron, possibly cert Carl, if I'm not mistaken. He's in
Malmo, Sweden, Katherine Lee with a birthday call out in
Malaysia $50. And that closes the segment for no agenda
donations for show 579 It was a lot less your donations came in
as we tried to get people to go $20.14 said a couple of them. We
had a few we had about 15. And I want to thank them and everybody
else who gave lesser amounts for keep the show going. And so you
can get kind of information you won't get anyplace else.
Well, you certainly get the analysis you won't get anywhere
else. And and I say take what we do and sit on it for a day or
two and consider what what may be going on what you may think
is really happening. And it's because we have these this model
because of these donations that we can even venture into this
territory. I hope people understand how special that is.
I think that people who support the show, do they inherently
understand that this? We can't even have this conversation. You
imagine CNET? Talking about this,
or slamming Apple bomb? Well, nobody would do that. It's a
heresy. It's a heresy. Let me ask you this. I'm not giving you
the show anymore. If you look the guy up, he's never given to
the show.
If you I just I'll say I'll say this. Here's the here's one for
you kids. If you really wanted all the information that
somebody had on their computer, wouldn't you go to Carbonite and
say, give me that? Has anyone even asked them? Hey, Carbonite,
Have you have you? Do you? Have you ever received a request? The
people won't even ask that of this company, because they're
advertising. This is the inherent compromise that you
have to deal with, that we don't have. So we can at least ask the
question.
Knights only one of about 10 of these companies that do cloud
back. How about
Apple's backup system? They back you up to the cloud? Microsoft?
Always ask this question, because I've never been cloud
oriented. Except for my email. Yeah. And you know, it's not a
sensually on the cloud because I'm using IMAP and you can't
really avoid such things. But but when you use a lot of these
services, like pay, Pels on the cloud is very sluggish is really
not a very positive experience. But I've always asked a question
in an era of hard disk for right now Costco, four terabyte hard
disk for about 150 bucks, I can go buy one and backup the
hardest. And I can backup up to my heart's content with no use
of my bandwidth or anything else. I don't have to wait
forever because I'm not going to get any throughput as opposed to
it's 3.0 USB, back and up to my own heart is saying take the
thing and give it to a friend or I can put it somewhere and then
you back up again some other time with super cheap I mean,
that is a dirt cheap price for four gigabytes, or terabytes.
Why am I thinking?
I say have you done this?
I bet I kept I have two backups. I have a two terabyte drive in
the trunk of my car.
Wow. Okay, there you go in and say, it's not that hard to hit
that old Alexis
to crack into the car and his horn goes off at the drop event
which
by the way, that would be illegal.
Yeah, that's illegal.
Going to Carbonite going to Carbonite. And requesting your
data is not illegal. So
I can buy these cheap, I can get a two terabyte drive for like,
less than $100. And I can backup to my heart's content. It
doesn't take that long. And I can backup everyday just do I
can do a mirror, it doesn't make any difference. Why during that
era, have we been promoting whatever it is the tech
community in general been promoting this on over the air
backup, this online backup that is slow, it takes forever?
I'll answer the question. Look at who's advertising. That's
your answer. Why is the tech community promoting it? Because
there's no critical analysis of it. Because they're the ones
that are actually advertising.
What I said from the beginning and Intel did it for a while.
It's dumb, it's slow. I cannot give a mirror image in my mind
was Yeah, I got at least a terabyte worth of photos. And
you can't back these up to over the net is you just get unless I
had a gigabit connection against as me why Google's pushing the
Gigabit Ethernet. Oh, you think very good. But you know that
that's but that's not available to me. Oh, you and 18 t
is going to do it. Verizon is already doing it. It's all going
to be this.
Just don't trust it is what it's and then if they don't like the
looks on your face and say, You know what? We're cancelling your
account. Oh,
and by the way, what does Google say? You can't run a server on
our Gigabit Ethernet. You can't run a server on that. Yeah,
they've come back a little bit. Well, yeah, you can kind of
maybe yeah, you can run an Xbox like thing, whatever. Now, the
first thing you say is you need to connect to us. That's
alright. If that's if that's the internet people want Fine. Fine.
You go use that. That's what they want. That's what they
want, John. Alright, so again, another part of the conversation
we could not have if we were seeing it.
No, of course. No, we couldn't even discuss any of it. Do we
lose the advertiser be on the phone? Hey, hey. Oh, now she
better apologise.
But also good. Yeah, hello, it's good. Corinne Devora back here.
What's up?
Yeah, this is Carbonite. I'm your account rep. Hi. Hi, Mr.
Carbonite account rep. What's up? Hey, my boss chewed me out
for what you guys did.
What do you mean what we did? What did we do better?
Fire those two guys. And you better announced they were fired
and you better announced they were fired? Because they said
bad things about us.
Or else what are you going to do?
Me and my other buddies that advertise in your crappy network

The Department of Health and Human Services has ordered 14
million doses of potassium iodide. 14 million tablets, of
course has to be delivered to them by February 1 2014. That's,
this has been
what That? That? That is the six years the six week cycle. It's
about there.
Really? Yep. Interesting. Well, what prison planet is doing is
they're selling iodine. Since the government can have it but
you can't apparently so you can go buy some pharmacy. I think
you should go buys No. Do you buy the one with Alex Jones on
it? Are you kidding me? Go look at his gloves. Ed is yes. He's
on it. He's on the bottle. All the shape
like his head.
He's got the coffee. He's got the iodine.
Oh, there's a coffee. He cracks me up. I said I pledge I think
sometime before you know the next few months when I'm like,
can't come up with anything. I will find out the vendor of the
coffin and find out what the deal was nice. Alright, good. Is
this drop shipped? He has nothing to do with it
is fun to look at. It's hilarious.
So I have to say so I will mention something here. I'm down
to two sling boxes. Well, actually three, there's one in
Canada. It's just a horrible setup. It doesn't seem to work
very well. My main Calgary connection gave up and unhooked
it or something. I don't know what happened. I got one in New
York out to one of them works. The other one does. And then I
have my guy in Tampa, who seems to be he's got a nice TiVo box
there. He's got one of the best systems. But all my other boxes
are either dead or missing. The Australian boxes disappeared
from my list. Well, there's some help out there people.
And there was also some kind of weird upgrade I think, never
worked. I
need a London box, a London box.
That's what she said, hey, if people want to help out with the
show, I think they should participate in this new. The
White House has a film festival now. And the film festival is to
promote STEM. In in classrooms, technology in the classroom,
this is all part of your common core marketing, that the White
House is now completely complicit in. You want to hear
this little ad done by Bill Nye the Science Guy,
Bill Nye, I've always I'm always intrigued by anything he does.
Okay, how come? He's not? Hey, Bill Nye the Science Guy here.
Now, you know, when I was in school, I used a slide rule. No
kidding. This is a calculating device that didn't add or
subtract. And we wanted information, we had to go to the
library and look things up in blue cards, we had to find
books, we had to open them, we had to study the books. But now
you in the information age, information from all around the
world, even from outer space is available to you at your
fingertips. It has changed the world. What you have now is the
ability to learn things so much more quickly than I could when I
was in school. But look, I came out fine. I'm kidding. So here's
the thing. If you think that you can make a cool video about how
you learn science, technology, engineering and math using the
technology that's at your fingertips, then the President
the President of the United States wants to hear from you.
The White House is accepting submissions for the first ever
White House Student Film Festival. This is for kids like
you between kindergarten and 12th grade, you can get all the
information you need online at whitehouse.gov/film Fest. And
the films can be short. In fact, they have to be short, they
can't be any longer than three minutes. The official selections
will be featured on the White House website and shared around
the world. On White House sites and tweets. I can't even stand
this guy. So it's all promoting science, technology, engineering
and math, please, whatever you do know art or music. Let's just
keep that away from the stupid slaves.
want anyone to be just dumb? Yeah. Now the whole I have the
clip that I wanted to play on the last show and I'm gonna play
it now. Because I was listening to it again. And I realised that
there's something we're overlooking, I think just in
general of a fractal which we don't talk enough about. That is
actually a fractal. If you This is about a guy went on a
shooting spree apparently his wife was harassing him. So he
went and shot the parents to her parents, their granddaughter,
whatever shot the wife shot one of his bosses. I was
collaborating with her there she was hounding him about you know,
support or something typical Monday in America. He flipped he
flipped and they went crazy. If, and, and I was, as I listened to
this a second or third time I realised that this is a fractal
of the bullying situation in schools where you some kid is
harassed and harassed, he can't take it anymore because of
bullying. And then he goes on a shooting spree then kills
himself. What's the difference? Play this. Sorry, don't just say
play the clip and then tell me what the difference is okay.
For learning new details this new and about a Louisiana man
accused of targeting his family and former colleagues in a
series of deadly home invasions last night. He killed a hospital
administrator his former mother in law and his own wife before
taking his own life. ABCs Matt Gutman has more.
Police believe this man 38 year old Ben Freeman went from home
to home in the Fouche parish 30 minutes outside New Orleans on a
mission to kill. This is
unprecedented to have three different victims unrelated,
targeted by a single killer.
His first stop at 640 Yesterday evening. The home of his former
in laws very allegedly killed his ex mother in law Susan go
wounding her husband parish Councilman Louis go and their
daughter Andrea Freeman had been married to the couple's daughter
gene. Just 20 minutes later, police believe Freeman targeted
the home of Milton bourgeois he administrator Oster St. and
hospital or Freeman once worked bourgeoise wife and was also
shot and taken to an area hospital where she is now in
stable condition. A third stop and a third death. This time
Freeman's own wife found dead in their home. Police say a
shortcut was used in the shootings. A mess of man HUD
continued until just a couple of hours ago, when Ben Freeman was
found dead in his car on the side of a highway of a self
inflicted gunshot
and during Freeman's spree three hospitals where he used to work
were put on lockdown while police searched right now police
are still trying to figure out what sparked that deadly
shooting spree.
Now what is sitting today? What are they even has
locked down
show? What is your question about them that
they quit? And it's not a question. It's an observation
that this is the exact same bullying meme without the
bullying message, because it's the guy flipped for the
following day. I got this idea actually from Mimi, when she
heard the clip. She says, oh, you know, is obviously the
wife's fault. It all has happened. You know, we don't
blame the victim enough. And I thought she was just being glib.
Yeah. But at the same time, I said, maybe that was the I mean,
she was obviously gouging this guy she was bullying him using
the courts. His prayer, his mother in law or the you know,
the mother in law, I'm sure was on her side again, harassing
him. And the and the guy flipped just like a student does in a
school. And then they have the same exact results. A guy kills
himself, and they put a bunch of people on lockdown. I'm not
seeing why they have not picked up on this as a fractal that
they could dig. Actually, they can't do it because you can't
turn this into a bullying mean when it's exactly the same
thing. So you actually have this, this, this thesis about
bullying creating these maniacs who go on a killing spree, but
they won't take it to the next level, because then you're
blaming the victim because
he's not gay. It's like, it doesn't work unless there's gay
involved. That's when it becomes bullying.
Yeah, well, there's that too. By the way, I just thought it was
interesting. And it we should start looking at like,
no, no, I totally agree.
And it has the same elements locked down.
Interesting. Anyway, we, the the white paper the the white paper
that Brian the gay Crusader is putting together he's he's been
feeding me. He's been rewriting everything really good. About
the gay the so called gay Russian anti gay laws. Yeah. Oh,
man, it's gonna be this. He's really he this is what
a lot of people get irked by when they see the reality of
some of the stuff that we discuss. And we
got big credits, by the way in this white paper. Good. It was
funny because suddenly a certain point, it's like, you know,
because he wanted to prove us wrong. And then but he also
calls us as huge proponents and supporters of the LGBTQ Qi
community. I can't wait to have that on a business card.
And remember that
we are supporters of the LGBTQ Qi community. We're not yet
we're supported as everybody says anyone? Yeah, except what I
mean is as much we're not anti gay, let's put it that way.
We're not so I got a couple of quick clips for the end.
Alright, I had a few more things just to talk about briefly. You
know, we're running out of time. Can you push them off to Sunday?
Ah, yeah. Turkeys gonna have to be on Sunday cuz there's a lot
let me just see what I got here. So we'll do Turkey, loose Turkey
on Sunday. That's important. I'm just check. Oh, yeah, one thing.
And I need you for this target. Can you see? Was there any short
selling? Like before? December? Do you have a way of looking at
that on a chart?
No, you wouldn't need a Bloomberg terminal I could have.
Horowitz look at what
you ask Horowitz if you if you talk to him,
what's your what's your theme? What's your What are you looking
for? What do you what is your basic thoughts on this?
Okay, so target was compromised. Target lost a lot of business
Target lost several points on the stock market when this hit.
Yeah. We know that the NSA knows. And
he's pretty sure it's Yeah, we were before the announcement.
Yes. Correct. I'm sure that we're
Yeah. I just like to know if what he sees on his terminal?
Because that makes so much sense.
Yeah, it was a scam. It's, that's just idea. This is the
mob that there's a mob does this stuff, they get this thing going
on, they'll do something they may have leaked the whole idea.
They sell in New York, or somebody picks it up, or they
start selling the names, you know, I'm sure it was listed as
target customers, and somebody finds it, and then they put it
out on the net. And the next thing, you know, the stock
plummets, and somebody who's who's smartly shorted, you know,
a few days before, you know, was probably involved, but there's,
you know, it can make me a bit sad promise, if they're really,
really good. These guys, they would have shorted so long, so
much earlier, that you can't really put the finger on him. So
that means that's the real problem that guys are really
pros. Yeah, they don't short two days before they short, two
months, three months or
four. Well, I just looked at the chart, and I saw that there's a
lot of fluctuation in price. Now fluctuation of course, is all
relative due to what the the scale of the chart that you're
looking at, but I'm not good at that. So anyway, I asked him,
and I will end my bits for today by reading your headline from
USA Today. More record lows than highs in USA in 2013. We have
another huge storm in the in the east. Now. That's your global
cooling as promised. Americans buying less electricity almost
as little as a 2001. This is going to really mess up a lot of
business. But the thing that I really have trouble with, we
have tonnes there was another report here, cesium 137 found in
strawberries, mushrooms and more in Northern California,
including the baby food. Yes, this is all from Fukushima. Just
so you know. But what I can't find any analysis of is the
environmental damage done by the train collision and explosion in
North Dakota. Do you think anyone is going to look at that
at all? Do you think there's any not going to happen? Do you
think there would be any kind of environmental damage from this
accident?
I would hope
you know what I was worried at the beginning of the show. But
now I know is you Yes. All right. wrap us up Johnny Boy
so you have a movie Hardison. It's called the hearts and minds
as long as the Bible is a kind of a wrap up of the Vietnam War,
a very interesting documentary, somebody sent us a link to it. I
watched a little of it. And it had Daniel Ellsberg making this
very interesting comment. In one part of it, he was one of the
guys that was cuz he's the one who pretty much busted the whole
scam of the Vietnam War wide open. And I just thought this
was a very nice little thing. He talked about the
administration's from Truman on being a bunch of duplicitous
liars and the particular clip is liars and fooling the public.
Truman lied from 1950 on, on the nature and purposes of the
French involvement, the colonial re conquest of Vietnam that we
were financing, and encouraging. Eisenhower lied about the
reasons for the nature of our involvement with GM. And the
fact that he was in power essentially because of American
support and American money and for no other reason. Kennedy
lied about the type of involvement we were doing their
own combat involvement and about the recommendations that were
being made to him for greater involvement. President Kennedy
lied about the degree of our participation in the overthrow
of GM. The Johnson, of course, lied and lied and lied about
provocations against the North Vietnamese prior to and after
the Tonkin Gulf incidents about the plans for bombing North
Vietnam and the nature of the buildup of American troops in
Vietnam. Nixon, as we now know, misled the and lied to the
American public for the first months of his office in terms of
our bombing of Cambodia and Laos ground operation Since in Laos,
the reasons for our invasion of Cambodia, and Laos and the
prospects for the mining of high fawn that finally came about in
1972, but was envisioned as early as 1969. The American
public was lied to month by month by each of these five
administrations. As I say, it's a tribute to the American
public, that their leaders perceived that they had to be
lied to. It's no tribute to us that it was so easy to fool the
public.
I just want you to know that Benghazi was caused by a video
keep it up the liars it's good.
What the can you in one send you because you set it up that way.
In one sentence, the Pentagon Papers which are so often
bandied about, in connection with Ellsberg name in connection
with WikiLeaks and Snowden? What exactly in one paragraph, did
the Pentagon Papers expose
that the Vietnam War was contrived? For what purpose?
Well, we went there was, well, if you listen to this same
thing, Eisenhower had mentioned in the 50s, that Vietnam was a
place where we get most of our tungsten which was really
necessary for our machineries and to tungsten and one other
metal it was a metal thing and then some people have surmised
that there's a lot of oil off the off the coast, which has
been confirmed more recently, but they've just never really
been the oil has never been exploded. We had a minerals
interest and of course, the the, the big lie was that this was
all part of was a domino theory that was going to if Vietnam,
South Vietnam fell, then the whole all everything from
Australia to everything is gonna become communist. Right. And
that was the kind of the overriding thesis as why we had
to
be there. Yeah, that was that was before we had Muslims.
Right?
That was one of our communist reforms. Now we switched it from
the communists tired,
good, tired of the communist thing. Although they should
bring it back, because I've been reading about South Sudan. And
all these oil companies are all Chinese. They're all owned by
China. Every single one of them it's at coastline we're gonna
let it go we're gonna let it become a Rwanda by this my
prediction. It's going to become a Rwanda and the economic hitman
would verify this that it's he would advise against it, but I'm
guessing they're going to choose to let it become a Rwanda and a
mess and rubble, and then we'll come in at the last minute after
all the deaths and rubble at the rubble stage and how's the
Chinese is right now, I don't think we have it.
No, no, no, we needs more rubble, we're not it's not it's
pretty close, though. Most of what I've seen there South Sudan
is kind of rubbly
It's very rubble it's almost like 90% there how don't Ross
started off at high rubble rate
don't rock don't rap about rubble rate. Okay, all right,
give me another clip and we'll go well, that was kind of good
though that it's enough to wrap it up for me.
Well, there is a it kind of it's got a couple here. Let's see No
smoking Palestinian. Oh, okay. This is the one that's the funny
one. Well, it's not funny some guy got killed but play the
Palestinian clip.
Are you sure that's usually pretty funny when someone gets
killed? Your clip doesn't want to load here we go.
A Palestinian ambassador was killed opening a safe that
hadn't been opened in 20 years at his residence in the Czech
Republic. Police in Prague say 56 year old Jamal Jamal
inadvertently triggered an explosive booby trap security
device on that safe. It had been moved from an old Embassy
building and officials say he wanted to find out what was
inside.
Wow, you found out I sure did. That's why you got to keep
copious notes. What's in this save? I don't know. I only
started working here a year ago. Okay, I take it in my house. No,
I guess lovely.
I had lots of deconstruction on Turkey, Russia and Palestine
actually coming up on Sunday show looking forward to that.
Thank you all producers, executives associates. Everyone
in the segment and below the line we really appreciate your
help. Hope you enjoyed some of this I see a lot of people
already checking in on the email saying yeah, thanks for exposing
that guy. Should be and I can't wait
about mp4
Haven't had a fun keynote like that to look at before.
But I would go to one of those keynotes. He sounds boring.
Coming to you Are you from FEMA Region six here in the capital
of the drone Star state where we will be flying drones on test
missions coming up this year? In the morning, everybody I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I sit here, waiting for
the machine to reboot and it didn't do it. John C. Dvorak.
Yes, we win once again. Hey, we'll be back on Sunday.
