You been here six years we're married. We got two kids. Adam
curry,
John C. Dvorak. Thursday, January 23 2014. Time for your
Gitmo nation media assassination Episode Five a five. This is no
agenda. Welcome to the only comedy podcast in the politics
and news category on iTunes from FEMA Region six and the travel
sites hideout Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from the drought state called northern Silicon Valley
I'm John C. Dvorak. Baden buzzkill
Yo, I am I sick as a dog
Oh, now what? Yeah, here's the joke of it you don't sound even
you know if he hears the way I would expect if I'm sick. I'm
gonna come on the show like this. Yeah. Very sick. Yeah, and
I can't breathe through by those. I could do okay, well,
I'll be fine. I'll be fine don't worry about it. Well, here's
the difference. One I control the board so I've done some pre
filtering to make myself sound a little less less nasal but this
is have you ever had or I'm sure you've heard of the cedar fever
Are you familiar use me the cedar fever I don't even know
what you're talking about. Really? Okay, you know people
have allergies to Cedar the cedar tree
Okay
Oh wow. You don't know anything about this and I can I can tell
you're not kidding.
All right. course I'm not kidding. I never kid
in Austin we have around this time of the year it's always on
schedule. We have a couple things you know that last year I
did or the first year we were here I discovered I had mould
mould allergy
the way you said I had
Yeah, had mould
mould in my butt.
mould allergy which is prevalent here.
It's all these allergies are bad mostly from black mould. Yeah.
And I've never ever in my life had any allergy issues until we
moved to Austin. It's almost not worth living here for this inlet
and I never had any cedar problems. Apparently the cedar
count is off the charts. And I was at last night the night
before. I wake up at four in the morning and I what is going on?
My head is exploding. I can't breathe. It feels like someone
standing on my chest. And no one was little Geisha girl. No and
it is the it is the worst possible feeling and everyone in
town has them was walking around sniffling and snorting their
eyes all puffy.
It's if you ever heard of such a thing in Austin, Texas
called the CETA fever I got a fever and the only thing I need
is more cowbell. Okay, that's just a joke. But anyway,
so what's it from? There's a lot of cedars around there. Oh yeah.
We got tonnes of features are very interesting as a as a wood
i They it's very aromatic. And it's used the you know, I have a
cedar line closet and you don't get supposedly you don't get
cloths Yeah, exactly. Although I questioned that. There's some
tough mods around here.
Those Northern California mas they don't like a honey.
Exactly. No, it's really it's crazy, John. I know Mickey had
it. And that was the first the first year we were here and I
was like, okay,
he's okay. Now she didn't she didn't have this effect you're
having Oh, no,
but it's much better for her because she went to the Voodoo
doctor and got all of her Magnolia and all the things you
need. So she was prepared. And I wasn't because I thought it
wouldn't affect me and it just floored me man. It's crazy. So
you
have to go to a voodoo doctor what is wrong with you people
all night. I go to a doctor who actually helps me I go to the
applied kinesiology list and acupuncturist you know this.
What was the she took some some Magnolia
liquor? No, no magnolia. I have it here. This is the Magnolia
isn't I guess it's pure.
Take some and be done with it. That way. I only went
yesterday is it takes a day or two to kick in. I don't want to
complain too much. I just want to let you know that I'm apps
I'm dizzy.
Oh, you're dizzy because you can't get enough oxygen? Yeah,
I'm dizzy and so the whole thing I can blow some clips by.
I'm counting on you, Johnny. You got you gotta get me through it
man.
Well, I do I do have one clip that I want to play right at the
start just so because this would be kind of the introduction to
what I'm going through. Oh, yes. This is the clip that would be
we do this is straight from the air. This is a I just thought it
was. You're curious the ironic the way they did it. This is the
the weather clip the weather juxtaposition clip that came off
channelled to
in Minneapolis extremely high winds created a ground at
Blizzard. A windshield warning was issued for most of Minnesota
today. Advisories warned of temperatures from 25 to 35
degrees below zero. Many schools across the state cancelled
classes today, black ice and snow may driving very dangerous.
Temperatures today we're up there. Here are some of the
records against Sanford 75. In Oakland, it was 74 in Mountain
View in a tide record of 72. In San Jose, warm spot was
Livermore at 75. So temperatures tomorrow are going to be
slightly cooler than these numbers. Okay. Well, I just
thought it was we're watching this horrible situation in
Minnesota and we're having this heatwave. Oh, really? January,
we got no rain. It hasn't rained for a year. And it's really nice
out.
So we're getting the cold front. We're getting a dusting of snow.
Apparently this afternoon in Austin in Texas.
Yeah, no, I actually went to Texas once when it was actually
it went to I flew. There was a weird one. It was I was into
Hawaii and little vacation. But I had to give a speech. And so I
had to fly from Hawaii to Dallas, and it was snowing. And
a car car door was frozen.
So it's interesting to see, of course, that this weather has
been fun to watch fun for the narrative from the agenda 21 and
climate change people, the climate change people, the
Liberty people, all those people, the BBC, of course has
has to say something. And because none of this fits into
all of the models, and I cut this, this was like a five or
six minute report and then cut it down to about a minute and a
half about the sun and and where we actually may be heading of
course as a licenced ham radio operator both of us, we know all
about the solar minimum, the solar maximum and the sunspots.
And we know what it does for for propagation of radio waves. But
slowly we're bringing into the conversation, the concept that
maybe the sun has something to do with the temperature on
Earth. It's a crazy notion I know Wow, crazy to think
came up with that idea spots is a fraction of what scientists
expected solar flares are half. Richard Harrison is the head of
Space Physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in
Oxfordshire. He says the rate that solar activity is falling
mirrors a period in the 17th century where sunspots virtually
disappeared.
The Maunder Minimum, of course, was a period of almost no
sunspots at all for decades. And we saw a really dramatic period
where there were very cold winters.
And by the way that the the Maunder Minimum was 70 years of
a very, very cold weather. In the
Northern Hemisphere. There was a period where you had a kind of a
mini ice age. You had a period where the Thames froze and the
winters and so on. It was an interesting time.
rivers and canals froze across northern Europe. paintings from
the 17th century show frost fairs taking place on the
Thames.
Isn't that cool? Frost fairs on
artists Yeah.
During the Great frost of 1684, the river froze over for two
months, the ice was almost a foot thick. The Maunder Minimum
was named after the astronomer who observed the steep decline
in solar activity that coincided with this mini ice age. The
Moons of minimum came at a time when snow cover was longer and
more frequent. It wasn't just the Thames that froze over the
Baltic Sea did to crop failures and famines were widespread
across northern Europe. So does a decline in solar activity,
mean plunging temperatures for decades to come? Wow, let's
ask a scientist. We've been making observations of sunspots,
which are the most obvious sign of solar activity from 1609
onwards. So we've got 400 years of observations, the sun does
seem to be in this in a very similar phase as it was in the
run up to the Maunder Minimum. So by that, I mean that the
activity is dropping off cycle by cycle.
Lucy green is based at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory
in the north downs. She thinks that lower levels of solar
activity could affect the climate, but she's not sure to
what extent
is a very, very complex area. Yes, the sun's activity controls
how much visible light the sun gives out but also how much
ultraviolet light and X rays that the sun emits. And they
have they create a web of changes up in the in the Earth's
atmosphere producing effects that actually we don't fully
understand. Okay, we
don't we don't fully understand it. Don't understand. Here's
what
I want. All scientists agreed.
Oh, when I was watching this report, and there's a couple
others like you're seeing some of the This solar minimum solar
maximum Mondo, Mondo minimum now being talked about in the across
the Gitmo nation media, it might be possible that as part of the
setup, or the Bogot of climate, I'm sorry, global warming, which
then turned into climate change, because the sun basically did
not participate with the script. This whole thing was launched on
the upswing of the solar maximum, which pretty much ends
this year. And maybe it was it was planned all along, like, Oh,
we're gonna have the lots of sunspots, it'll start heating up
a little bit, we'll be able to point to it for sure. And the
sun just didn't cooperate. And that's what blew it all apart.
It may have been timed perfectly for this, which is a once every
11 years. Oh,
that's an interesting point. Yeah, you might be right,
because it was it was it. That's why I think they were they're
like in a panic, right?
Yeah. Because they're like, holy crap. Holy crap. This wasn't
supposed to happen.
And so let's hurry it up. No, we gotta do. What was the first
time you heard that? If we don't do something this year, it will
be too late. It was
2005. And I was in Pebble Beach. I think it's the Pebble Beach.
No, no, where's the in California where the there was a
Kleiner Perkins who were investor in particular at the
time, probably Pebble Beach right down was Monterey
Monterey. Yeah. And so this is very funny. They have these
getaways for all of the the CEO weekend. And it's really
horrible because you go there, and you have to bring your
spouse or whatever, and you stay at this like a nice hotel, but
it's all golfers it's taught for golfers and I had to go golf and
I can't even hit the ball three feet is horrible. But yeah,
that's where you're talking to you doing the business and they
get up and throw it. They actually gave me a prize for
most strokes of the entire was very embarrassing. Anyway, yeah,
that wasn't even on the course. Hey, everybody. John C. Dvorak
de also known as Dingo. And, and so you have speakers, and it's a
whole weekend. And on Saturday, or maybe maybe it was before the
weekend, Thursday or Friday morning, I didn't think we were
doing the show. At the time that it was before the show. via
satellite, they had Al Gore, talk about An Inconvenient
Truth. And they showed the movie, they screened the movie
before it was in the theatres, and they had a copy of his book
there for like, for everyone to take home with you. That's the
first time I heard of it. How about you?
Well, he the first time I think I heard that this if we don't do
something this year, it will be too late. Which by the way,
reminds me of the the Feinstein clip where you know, to five
years ago, which is are we gonna have a D attack on the homeland
in the next six months?
I need to find that clip. Again. I feel bad
if I do have a copy of you, by the way for one of my clips
today. While you're well I'm one if I go on an exposition take
try to find the clip which I'd like to play, which is Obama's
saying the first thing he is going to do when he gets in
office as the shutdown get mo
that's, well, I we have the payoff to that when I know that
we had because that basically
take that to the bank. That's the paying, I don't want that I
want the clip because it's just bid just Tyson. Anyway, the
first time I think I heard it was around 2007 When they were
getting panicky and they kept saying if we don't do something
this year, it will be too late. And then I think I started
paying attention to it the next year when they said the same
thing. But it seems to me that if you didn't do something in
2007, or whenever 2005 In your case, it will be too late. It's
too late. Right? Why do we keep harping on this problem?
Well, let me see if this is what you're looking for. I can save
this for later. I think I have it here. Okay.
I don't have Okay, I got it here. But it's always been it's
been two, but it seems that they're numbered or more
recently, there's a panic that you can just sense yeah, that
because the numbers aren't started they start the numbers
start stopped adding up the way they wanted it to add up and
they come up with these excuses. And, and they aren't on that
list by the way of there's a document floating around on how
to attack people who are denialists Yes, and one of them
is they they attack the notion that anyone would accuse the son
of having anything to do with this and there's some rationale
as scientists agree it's not the sun or something like I don't
know what their what their argument is. You just got
to call them deniers no matter what. And, and then go after the
fools
and idiots and Republicans
Do yes and go after their go after their advertisers. Do
something like that. That too. Exactly. Exactly. Oh, man. Well,
there is. I'm a little I'm not a little I'm quite annoyed by the
Geneva two protocol, which is the official title. This this
bait and switch to Syria thing. Yeah, this bait and switch that
took place which was assisted by some crazy PR, which was so
incredibly trend. It's so easy to see through so transparent
that it's like it was it's insulting to me. I don't
understand why
the you want your propaganda be to be better quality.
I want to have to think about it. You know, give me give me a
brain teaser. Do something. So in Syria, we're supposed to have
the next round of of peace talks, which just started kicked
off yesterday. And the first thing that happened it well, if
you follow the the general news, Iran was going to be at the
table, there would be 30 countries, including Syria, of
course. And then all of a sudden, John Kerry starts
yelling that, oh, well, no matter what happens, we cannot
have Assad has to step down which the whole point of getting
rid of the chemical weapons was to subvert this conversation. So
it was like a bait and switch. And then also 10 More countries
were invited all anti Syria. And Iran was uninvited and what and
then what happens as some report comes out, which I have, of
course, and I've looked at this is the the Syrian Syria Board of
Inquiry, Tao insulting Can you make it that has apparently
there was a whistleblower or informant named Caesar, and
Caesars contact person was, unfortunately with an al Qaeda
group, but okay, doesn't matter, they apparently still valid. And
he had the 55,000 copies of emaciated, tortured, beaten to
death bodies in Syria. And this is being touted by John Kerry as
proof that Assad is killing his own people. While the document
itself does not assign any proof to anyone other than the proof
that photographs are real, and most likely have actual Syrians.
But here's the problem. This report is not a government
report. This report was commissioned rod I had, I'll
play this clip, the three guys who are in the committee are all
big power players. They're from the International Criminal
Court, they're, you know, they prosecuted Milosevic, they're
high, really high end attorneys. And they have a lot of
credibility. And they show up on BBC and they're just completely
open about it and just say, Oh, well, here's what the report is
about
perspective and experience. Oh, I'm sorry, I have to point out
that the story was broken, by Christiana on and poor on CNN,
and she's very suspicious to me. I ever since she, she kind of
did her round of ABC and back and forth. I'm pretty sure that
she's on board, and I'm very disappointed with how how she
turned out as a journalist. But anyway, she's breaking this
report
most respected and experienced international prosecutors, they
say, quote, There is clear evidence of systematic torture
and killing of detained persons by the agents of the Syrian
government agents. They say that
agents of the Syrian government, not the Syrian Government,
agents of the Syrian government source
is a defector who had been in the Syrian military police and
insider. They've codenamed Caesar, who smuggled out 10s of
1000s of graphic images of corpses, emaciated and severely
beaten. Let me ask you first, Desmond as chairman, what was
your mandate? What were you asked to do?
Now, this is very interesting. She positions it beautifully,
for the uninformed, the uninformed, what was your
mandate? What were you asked to do? And then all sounds very
governmental and very official. And these guys have been in all
these official quasi official outfits like the International
Criminal Court.
It was an inquiry into liability. Oh, wait
a minute, an inquiry into liability sounds like a lawsuit.
The London firm of Carter rock asked me to put a team together
for the purpose of investigating the reliability, the reliability
of that, but the factor of
now when a guy can't say the word reliability You gotta think
he's lying. Did you hear him? Later? Right?
graphic images, emaciated and severely beat so I went back
with me ask you first Desmond as chairman, what was your mandate?
What were you asked to do?
It was an inquiry into liability. The London firm of
carta rock asked me to put a team together for the purpose of
investigating the rule rather than the fact why they
didn't do that. You didn't.
No, no, no, no. It's it almost sounds like I doubled the audio.
No, no, that's exactly
what he said. That sounds like a glitch. No, it's not like anyone
saying,
Yeah, believe me. It's just the way it really even he closes his
eyes and tries to get
the facts from Cydia, who I understood.
So the mandate from Carter ragno Carter rock is a law firm. So
these guys were hired by Carter rock international law firm who
really deal mainly with incredibly wealthy people who
have been sanctioned by a country or their funds have been
frozen. That's what they do. This is not you don't go to
these guys if you have like some dispute with your neighbour. Now
this is if you Well, let's see, Carter Rock has developed a
particular expertise in cases arising out of the events of 911
and the subsequent war on terror. It is currently
representing clients in relation to such matters and litigation
in the European Court of Justice, the New York District
Court and High Court in London, and has been involved in
negotiations on behalf of its clients with the United Nations
and with representatives of many national governments. In the
autumn of 2008, the firm's international law team won a
major victory before the European Court of Justice on
behalf of its client. Ya seen Cuddy by which EC regulations
freezing this the Cadiz assets were struck down to see these,
these are the guys they go and they sue the United Nations on
your behalf. So you gotta you got your big guys when you're
playing with Carter rock. And they represent entire countries,
as it turns out is the case remember, this is not John
Kerry, John F. Kerry, on the very day, Geneva to protocol
starts, he is touting this report, which has been
commissioned by a commercial law firm as proof that Assad has
been committing war crimes. First of all, the coincidence is
too crazy. A second of all, this is not a governmental report
that has been vetted by anyone
with him or had had have could comment on some 55,000 images of
people who have been tortured and killed.
And are you convinced of the reliability of the defector?
Codename Caesar?
I mean, the defector, codename Caesar, could it get any? Any?
Any sketchier?
Yes, I'm, yes, I am. sufficiently. So. I think all of
us were in agreement that's now pay
attention because he's going to tell you what this report is
really for his
his account was essentially true,
essentially true. Not entirely, but essentially, it had the
hallmarks of truth, the hallmarks, what are the
hallmarks of truth, John?
Goodness, right. Good. The hallmarks hallmarks of truth
would be somebody saying it's true. Yeah.
That's not the truth. The hallmark? Yeah, thank you saying
it's spelled properly. Maybe. flabbergasted. I am
add, it would stand up in the court.
Ah, it would stand up in the court. That's what so we have
this is essentially saying this, right. Yes, this is true. It has
all the hormones. It looks true. We think it would stand up in
court because we are the honourable sir Desmond DeSilva.
We are Professor David M. Crane. And we are Professor Jeffrey.
Nice.
And let me be very clear who funded this investigation? Ah,
any any guesses? John?
Well, you wouldn't be the law firm, it'd probably be some
group that is looking to get some money out of this deal. Who
knows? Let's I think you need to be a little it's a little more
simplistic. Obviously, the report would be someone who
wants to get Assad out because that's what the report is being
used for. Well, wasn't
the Russians. Let's put it that way. No, it's not the Russians.
It's not the Russians. Yeah. It could be the USA. No, no. Who
were the
guys that funded the terrorists. You give up? Yeah.
The solicitors who instructed me were funded by the government of
Qatar.
The Government of Qatar. Yeah. I got the guys who financed the
terrorists are now paying for these jibber Ionis to come up
with a report to say see Assad has to go It could not be more
obvious. This is what I mean by insulting. They're just on
television saying it.
Well, it's because nobody's paying
attention. Well, there's that. So they can say
whatever they want. Yeah. If the guy came out and said, Oh, well,
is not really reliable, and it is something of a scam, but we
think it's gonna hold up in court. And that's just the way
it is because he's a horrible man. Oh, so everyone go okay,
whatever. Hey, what's Justin Bieber doing? Hey, man, I
already got busted for DUIs.
That was I think that was a red book. John, did I not save
Justin Bieber to get arrested? Did I not put that in the
booking? Just check real quick.
I have three books to plough through. Now. The last one. It
was
a new book. It was not actually read. Yeah. And and on the last
show, I said Justin Bieber has to get arrested and he got
arrested.
You did? It didn't go into us. I remember you saying that. you
but you were saying it kind of heavily early. You weren't
taking it too seriously. But you were saying it's because you
need I think it was offhanded comment. It was not a red book
entry. Well, it
did happen. And it's Yeah. Okay. Well, next time, you
should be more serious about your long
stuff. And it's so nice to see that while the world is being
converted into rubble before our very eyes. The news media is
only talking about Justin Bieber. It is. It's great. It's
great. It's great. It's great for this show, that's for sure.
Now
it's like wow. Just like this stuff writes itself.
Don't Don't give away our secrets. Okay, so let me just
review for a moment. We have the bait and switch in and by the
way, it's in Montreux. It's not in Geneva I've been Have you
ever been to Montreux? No, I have not. I've been multiple
times we used to have the Montreux Rock Festival, and MTV
would go there and that's the I the first time the Beastie Boys
and Run DMC did their thing together. I was at Montreux.
Then it was always there's always the Montreux Jazz
Festival, but it's a pain at Montreux. I don't know why they
chose it. It's a pain in the ass to get there. You have to drive
for hours or or take a train in there still another hour from
the train station. It's it's not convenient. I don't know. It's
very strange. But it's beautiful. Right down to Lake
Geneva. It's nice. It's countries that would be very
nice. Alright, so they're in Montreux. It's a bait and
switch. The Syrians are the Assad regime is outraged. They
call the press conference. They said hey, this is bullcrap. Iran
gets uninvited one of the guys who would actually be pro Syria.
Instead of it being a peace conference. It's all about I'm
sorry, we have to have our transitional government. We're
back to that, again, to back up the claims on the very same day
we have this clearly fabricated report whether whether it's
whether people have been killed or not, is almost beside the
point because the report is is paid for by the very people who
want Assad out and who have been financing the terrorists in the
country. And and then all of a sudden Ban Ki Moon comes out
with I thought Syria was not that important. We're missing
something big listen to what the what does he have the the UN
he's the
he's the Secretary General Secretary General, thank
you listen to what he's talking about. The 2014
appeal for cerium launched today in Geneva is the biggest in the
history of the United Nations.
He's talking about some money that they've collected, which I
knew nothing about
$6.5 billion what to meet these inside Syria, and to help the
more than 2 million people who have fled the country. Now.
Hold on a second. We're coming up with six and a half billion
dollars. For what?
Somebody's just dumped the line someone's pockets.
It's yeah, I agree. Either. There's something in Syria that
we really need to have. Or it's just it's just as like, like
Haiti, no money will go into Syria and it'll just be stolen
and listen to where the money's coming from.
Mr. Baum made the announcement Wednesday after a donors
conference in Kuwait part of a un effort to raise six and a
half billion dollars this year, the largest ever funding appeal
for a single crisis. He said the fight against Syria has set the
nation back years even decades.
The people of Syria want peace and hope yet all they see is
death upon death. all they hear is a talk after talks. People
are dying. Families are fleeing. A series of fires are spreading
Kamesh soon engulf the whole region.
Kuwait pledged 500 Great million dollars to the effort while US
Secretary of State John Kerry announced $380 million. And
remember what
it was 20 million our taxpayers money at this too won't put up.
Remember what
it was. Remember when it was like 20 million or maybe 50
million now it's $380 million
to aid from the United States,
some of our support will help Syrians immediately as they cope
with one of the cruellest winters
on record, oh, you
know what that means.
And with our contributions today, we're providing
specifically fuel for heating, and cooking. We're providing
thermal blankets.
Blankets,
we just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets
or water. Just send your cash
and other critical winter supplies for 10s of 1000s of
people.
Yeah, that's what you need $380 million for for some blankets.
It's so insulting.
never ends. That's what gets me,
I think. But I believe somehow this ties into Turkey.
And now he's got something to do with in a day. You know, there's
just a lot of activity going on right now there was I mean, the
Ukraine is in flames.
What can I can I give you let's just stay here for one second.
We'll come back to Turkey later. But what I am. So the MIT, which
is the Turkish secret service was now that because of the rift
there that's going on between Erawan and the Gulin is movement
to the Secret Service was stopped at the border between
Turkey and Syria. And they had to open up their containers. And
that was just it was filled with weapons. So Erdogan, the Turkish
current Turkish Government is sending weapons down to Syria. I
believe it may have something to do with the Kurds. As Turkey has
now started taking oil from Kurdistan. And there's a there's
a connection between the Iraqi Kurds in northern Iraq and the
Syrian Kurds. It's insane.
The Turkish Kurds, which the Turks don't like, huh, yeah,
see, the prompt said the Turks have this issue because the
Kurds, the Kurds, those three there's there's three groups of
these Kurds, the ones in Iraq, and the ones in Syria, the ones
in Turkey, but the big group is in Iraq, and and they're buddies
or they seem to think that their pals in Turkey should have been
they should join up and make a country. And it would take a
chunk of Turkey away. And Turkey is a big country and and they're
always fearful that people want to take a chunk of it away, have
to have a weird attitude about this. It's kind of like the
Russians, they don't want to give up Chechnya, or any of
these other places, Dagestan. And I don't think we should be
given up Texas necessarily. So you can see how these countries
react to this sort of thing. They figured well, the Kurds in
Turkey should you know just stay calm and be Turks. Right? Well,
there's there's a bunch of there's a lot of geopolitics
here that are not fully understood by anybody.
It does seem that and of course I've been so so deep in Turkey
but I've been meeting with people we're doing all kinds of
stories there's reporters and they find we find each other and
they've been finding me in particular as of course in Texas
is very It's funny you bring it up Texas is extremely related to
what's going on in Turkey because of the the harmony
charter schools the most are in Texas run by Glenn the this imam
who is apparently creating the the war with Erdogan.
Yeah, it was somebody's help it be my guess. Well, I
I reached out to my my Jewish handlers in in Los Angeles you
know, the ones who have helped me with so much already
understanding other sides of stories. And and she got back to
me with a whole thing about how the CIA was paying off air.
Glenn with heroin money from Afghanistan. Yeah, and it seems
like the CIA and Glenn like they thought they were kind of
helping each other like, Hey, man, you control Turkey and do
whatever we asked you to do there and we'll make sure that
you get the you get all the all the dope money and then you can
start up all these schools but of course the schools are
starting to pay off you know, now we've got kids who have
graduated and throughout all of Europe, all of Western Europe,
they're now in, in government positions in parliamentary
positions. And it feels a lot like worst we're getting towards
that the next wave, you know, the Ottoman Empire has to
expand. And it's crazy because I have such a hard time wrapping
my head around it. There's a concept that I've learned called
Eurabia. Have you ever heard of this?
Yeah, yeah. No, you Arabia that first showed up actually, just
before 911? Oh, really, there was a lot of websites. Because
when 911 happened, I went out and I did a site myself, really
linked to all these sites. Because they were fascinating.
Yeah, it was fake. That's how I met a number of people because
they kept because they were, they tracked me down. Because I
was getting all these weird links. I was wondering where
they're coming from. And this was a kind of an informational
site. And one of the things that cropped up was these maps that
have all been taken down. And I just did really one of my first
early lessons about if you see something really cool, get a
screenshot. You gotta say anything, because it's not going
to be there. It'll be gone, it'll be gone. Exactly. And it
had all these cool maps about it with timetables about when the
Muslims were going to take over certain parts of the world. And
you Arabia was one of them. And that was gonna be it's gonna
start with France. That'd be the first to go. And then it was
going to kind of domino effect around, but they have the United
States on there, too. Yeah. Oh,
no. So there's a I looked up if you go to the book of knowledge
and look up your Rabia. It is a meet right there at the top. The
concept was coined by Giza. Littman. In the early 2000s,
that must have been when you heard about it. Her pen name is
brought to you yeah, or denotes a conspiracy theory, right off
the bat there. And by the way, this everything
is a conspiracy theory, apparently. But oh, but anything
interesting goes
much deeper. So I'm just gonna read you directly from the book
of knowledge. It denotes a conspiracy theory, where
European and Arab powers aim to Islam eyes and Arab buys Europe,
thereby weakening its existing culture and undermining previous
alignment with the US and Israel. And then it actually
goes further to compare this conspiracy theory to the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, you know, basically saying this
is you're batshit crazy if you ever think this is true at all.
But the problem is, I lived in Europe. And what this Eurabia
concept is, is the bloodless jihad. And it's happening. It's
happening in Belgium and Brussels in particular, it's
happening in France, it's happening in the Netherlands.
It's happening in the United Kingdom. You know, where you
have we've played these clips where you have patrols at night
Muslim area can't come here yet. Not with not with a skirt on
Muslim area, you're drunk go away. And I'm shocked at myself
thinking is it? Can it really be true? Is this really happening?
And it seems like it is. And the deeper you dive into it, and I
found a great book, by the way, which I'm not done reading it
yet. But it's called Europe globalisation in the coming of
the universal caliphate, which is written by this woman who
apparently, this Bhatia, or who created the conspiracy theory, I
guess. And it's fast, it's fascinating to read. And I'm
thinking maybe what's happening here, is Gulin wants to stop
Turkey from ascending to the European Union, which is what
Erawan is in Brussels, as we speak, trying to do. And of
course, the European Union is going a dude, you know, like
you're firing police officers, you're firing your justice
department, you know, what is going on? Doesn't look good, you
don't have the situation under control, you're not ready to
join up. And in that regard, it makes sense. That's someone who
would want to create the the, to reinstate the caliphate and the
Ottoman Empire. You can't really do that if you're part of the
European Union. The whole idea is to slip in, as Glenn said in
one of his internet speeches, and to get into the arteries of
the system. And then when it's time, you know, then you pop up
like a little whack a mole and we're good to go.
Like that alien creature coming out the gut. Yeah, yeah. Or,
and I'm like, wow, yeah. Possibly. Well, but this but
this is the kindest and then in America, this is the kind of
stuff that you have the what is it? Seven or eight senators
wrote a letter and said, hey, you know, we've got this Muslim
Brotherhood all over the place. They've got security access, the
Department of Homeland Security, we got to be careful of this and
right, then they're all avid Dean.
Oh my Aberdeen and there's another term I got for you. Dima
tude what Dima tude
oh yeah yeah the damn it yeah the demon Yeah, uh huh. So, so a
demon is no that's not that was also a term that I'm familiar
with
at de mi DHIM mi at DME refers to a non Muslim subject of an
Islamic state,
right you have to pay special tax and yeah it goes to get end
up you can't testify in court
so you're pretty much a slave. Yes, one step above
what's interesting about the de mes? Is it depending on what
books you read about it. The Muslim scholars or some Muslim
sympathetic historians like to say that this was shows how
great the Muslims were because they let these people roam
around freely even though they had to pay a special tax to
breathe Yeah, and they couldn't also testify in court and if you
raped one of them it was too bad for them kind of thing and and
then the other ones there's some great material on how these you
know the type of oppression that took place I mean, the whole
idea is to get the dummies to give up and become Muslims and
just right right because if you shut up if you become
a Muslim then then then you're then everything that is theirs
is yours and your your your your you know club? Yeah,
you can't do it. It's no no, no, no, no, you can't quit. No, in
the end, you're dead. You're dead man. And so
coming coming from the Netherlands specifically where I
know I know two people who it's now 1313 years ago said oh, we
got to be careful of this. being tailed for Hawk filmmaker. She
shot killed in broad daylight blown off his bike, throat slit
knife stuck in his chest with a with a note of more people who
were next. And pin for town who was his whole platform was to
stop the Islamification of the Netherlands assassinated one
week before the elections, which is party one, and posthumously.
I believe that every single politician who has any power or
who is creating law or policy in European countries, because of
this, they are so afraid that they don't want to be branded as
an Islamophobe which is well he has the
Holland has that one Muslim parliamentarian feels that Yes.
She's a she's against all the Islamification she is no no,
it's
him. It's feared builders, though there's a woman.
She's not sure she's in Holland. She's a very famous Muslim woman
who is Ayaan Hirsi
Ali is who you're talking about. Ayaan Hirsi Ali and she was in
Dutch parliament. And she left and now she's all kinds of think
tanks and she's married now that Niall Ferguson guy Niall
Ferguson. Okay. She's
not there anymore.
Now. But she but and she made the film with Taillefer Hall and
he got killed over that. Yeah,
she's well, she's been threatened.
She's been under protection forever. Yeah. So the so here's
the thing, here's the kind of the, the realisation I had, is
where I don't it's so hard in my mind from where I come from how
I was raised, it's so hard to believe that there possibly
could be an entire, like billions of people who actually
do believe that if you don't convert to Islam, then you're
either a demi or you're dead. There's a show title be a DiMeo
you're dead. There's a rap title actually. It's so hard to
believe that John. But yet, the deeper I get into it, this can't
all just be conspiracy theory Islamophobic crap that I'm
reading. There are people actually killing people and
blowing themselves up and, and claiming Jihad and these things
are real?
Well, there's a couple of things I like to always think, at least
from my personal perspective, yes. First of all, the the
notion of blowing yourself up a kamikaze style has always been
perceived as a as a last ditch thing, that this is where you
are losing. And this is how you have to react to it. Which which
I believe is somewhat true. And the second thing and I say that
because I the number of Muslims that are involved in this, jihad
is such a small minority, but it but as big in total numbers, but
it's a small minority of the total population. And there's
some we tend to be pushing this because I've said it before. If
you really go and look around Muslim sites, you'll find more
Muslim sites bitching about it? Yes, I agree. Yeah, we've taught
middle class Muslims, the ones that are just you know, they
don't even you know, there's like, there's just like
everybody else they don't you know, they're not nuts about the
religion. and they just happen to be culturally, Islam Islamic
and they you know maybe they go to the mosque once in a while
maybe they don't. But they don't they like a decent life. I think
this was parodied once on a Saturday Night Live show where
these two guys are leaving a great middle class life in
Topeka. And then they get the call from some guys. Okay, okay.
I have been Mohammed, Mohammed, Ahmed, you've got to go down, we
got to go. And now it's time. But we've been here six years,
we're married, we got two kids, and they start bidding gets into
a big argument about it. I'm sure
this was many, many years ago, you this is would be politically
incorrect to do on Saturday live today.
And maybe it wasn't that long ago was after 911. Okay. And
whatever the case, there's, it's just this is not resolved very
well. And it's like, it's like, I have a thought, to freak
everyone out. I have a thought on how to
resolve this. And it's and it is literally the difference between
the Muslims and we should do a website we should do a, an
aggregation of the Muslim websites who are bitching about
this and saying this, we got to stop this crap and all this
caliphate stuff and the Ottoman Empire, whatever. Although
that's much more about power than religion. I think the
coolest guy is just he just wants to be the ruler of the
world. It wouldn't surprise me there, there are megalomaniacs.
But there's plenty of we work in Silicon Valley people are with
the Silicon Valley people half of them would look up alone at
that pebble beach place.
But I've been to Iraq I was in the rubble of Iraq in 2003. And
I saw how how the how the young children are living and growing
up I went into many many towns and was relatively calm at the
time although anything could have happened and you know, we
need what they have there is rubble and satellite television
that's running CNN and BBC news all day. You we got to give
these people some culture like Love Boat episodes. I Love Lucy
Three Stooges, you know, Fast Times at Ridgemont High that'll
change your attitude a little bit, send them some x boxes, get
these people like in the lid to enjoy some of the crazier things
that we do over here. distraction because I'm telling
you, there's a reason why Americans are not on the streets
protesting like in Ukraine is because we got too much
distraction too many fun things to do. Yeah, we
we keep busy. It takes
you $300 million and the ebb and take and send some some video
game consoles to the terrorists in Syria. I know it sounds
simplistic.
But look at what happened at the end with the
supposedly give him some comedy man with something a
lot and he was playing some maxbox Yeah,
it was totally docile.
Yeah I thought it was a good game look
if you want Syria just dumped some fluoride in the water
supply send them some ex boxes with Grand Theft Auto and walk
right in and take whatever you want. And I mean, I can the
human brain still works the same, except these brains have
been programmed to go to the ultimate sacrifice of blowing
yourself up when the call comes. It's much more fun to blow away
hookers in GTA five I don't know it's just the for some something
has gone wrong with with the American media system we didn't
propagate that properly. We can make just as much money like the
military,
but it just definitely fell apart we don't know it's it's
the Westwood reason we do this show I think most of the show is
like an exploration of trying to find this we were just answered
seeking this show is the two of us seeking some sort of larger
meta reality then we can you know, every week we discuss
these issues to try to figure it out more it's like the 33 just
never gonna happen.
Well, there's something Yeah, exactly some things we will
never ever find out and some things in the universe must
remain or mystery John that's so important. Anyway, I'd like to
thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John.
Good morning to
you Adam curry in the morning to all the ships at sea by the way
also the boots on the ground the feet in the air and the subs in
the water and all the Dames and all the Knights out there and of
course to our human resources in our our chat room, always here
to give us some feedback, no agenda stream.com no agenda
chat.net as well as our artists Thank you very much to let's
see. Super Leone, gave us a very colourful piece of artwork for
the for the previous episode 584 And of course we look forward to
checking out nogen art generator.com To see what will
be submitted for 586 I saw you use some Some beautiful artwork
that was submitted for the newsletter
that the tile so had a cat kitten and you had
just about the best kitten picture and I can it's funny
because I I know you a little bit I can just see you finding
this picture and laughing oh this is perfect. Oh put this one
in the
jelly that picture in the newsletter there had the two
pictures that we're using in this newsletter one was the big
fat guy kissing the face
which a lot of people said no fair you're not allowed to put
yourself in the newsletter. Yeah, this is
just a bunch of ways to get a clue whatever the case is that
it because I was talking about the media and we'll talk about
later in the show native advertising and essentially that
picture because the way you when you were reading you'd see that
picture and you would think advertisers the big fat guy and
the media this gorgeous woman sexy sexy kissed are being she's
being assaulted essentially Yeah, by some sugar daddy which
is the word that was used in the previous graph so that was the
idea to get that debt image then I had to soften that image by
the way none of this proved to make the newsletter any better
than any other newsletter I did and he actually brought in less
you know interest than most of them but whatever the case but
then I had to put the kitten picture in there because I knew
that we needed a kitten picture and that was a gem Yeah, every
time I saw it it cracked up I couldn't stop laughing It's so
funny.
It's beautiful it miss Mickey actually went ah this picture
makes me want to have a kitten that's not gonna happen that's
not gonna but if you want to see what all the hubbub hullabaloo
was about you can sign up for the newsletter at any of the
show notes to have the link and today's link will be 585 dot no
agenda notes.com And in our value for value model which
allows us to talk like this is really cool I just got a back
channel message from cert 12 inch avoid zero runs a lot of
the runs the infrastructure he says You guys are the only show
on the world talking about this stuff he said the only people
who dare to even explore the topic of what's going on and
yeah, and we can we can do that because the only way that we
will go off the air Well there's a couple ways death would be
one. Death death by by bullets. a hail of bullets
hail it has to be a hail hail if
it's not a hail I'm not interested. Yeah, really don't
take me out you know like stupidly just do it with a hail
of bullets. Or you know people stop supporting us because they
don't like what we're doing but you can't go after our
advertisers because we have none. We only have
although we did get some I got to know Ray went back and forth
really well don't just say when you say you know what? 4k
television guy or
homeless I'm sorry 19 inch not 12 inch I underestimated sir
voice zero 18
inch isn't that the same thing as advertising? No plugs are not
the same thing as advertising and never really have been. And
a plug is just what it is and it's just casual and it's like
one of these things you don't even have to do it. But
advertising you pay for advertising you have to you have
you have to perform like the monkey you are Yeah, they can
advertising money. Yeah. And let me take money from our we take
contributions are well we'd like to call them from our listeners
who were dedicated into we'll start with today's executive
producers. We have two of them. We have three Associate
Executive Producers Fred Sir Fred Lutz with no comment, lust
with no comment from McCutcheon Ville, Ohio at 333 33. Gregor
Gregory Wilson 313 I'm sorry 333 3.13. He says he recently
cancelled his multi year subscription to The Economist
and ad supported rag which resulted in a refund of $225.
Oh, very expensive.
Yes.
I'm rounding that up to three, three 3.13 and sending it to you
as my first donation to the cause. I'm also pledging 1313
per month going forward. It's bad luck to be superstitious.
This should result in knighthood and march 2018. If the
government hasn't shut you down by then, thanks for all you do,
especially for the detailed show notes. Which by the way are a me
fantastic Oh wait.
I have a jingle for that now. We got a new jingle
what kind of a jingle that is, but it's an interesting little
little tidbit.
So he wants you to play D douche karma. Dr. Keith Kiki Shut up.
Uh huh. Two shots to the head Dougie. 1234566 is too many I
got
this like I got it's too many but I got this
bad deed deuced
You've got karma already. Science.
And then I almost got it. All right, y'all tried I try. It's
too much people.
Sir atomic rod atoms. Two, three 4.56 and force Virginia. Adam
and John, thank you for your courage and questionable
attitudes, following on questionably
says questioning that questionable.
Your question was a psychological thing. Yeah. And
questioning and your questioning attitudes following your lead
atomic insights.com recently completed a value for value
model, everyone is always welcome. But supporters are a
little more welcome than everyone else. We cut through
the anti nuclear FUD to provide clear, accurate nuclear energy
information, the natural gas industry hates what we do. But
no agenda listeners should have no fear. And give everyone a
shot at karma.
Yeah, thank you very much, sir. Rod. You thought it was funny
that this donation came in after I sent him a question. Like
whenever I have, you know, there's a couple of go to
people, we have lots of go to producers on the show. And I
sent him a question about the term meltdown. Because we had
been laughing about Amy Goodman using that term. And and one of
our producer said, Well, technically, the term meltdown
is is not recognised by any atomic agency. So So she, as a
term, she is allowed to use it. And I'm like, wait a minute,
isn't the term meltdown really doesn't mean something. And so I
sent it off to atomic sir rod Adams. And he says, you know,
well, it's true, that technically, there is no real
meltdown. But people think of a meltdown, as in relation to The
China Syndrome, but movie react where the core would melt and
melt all the way down a hole through the Earth, down to
China, which is hence the China's syndrome. So that of
course is is he says, absolutely not possible. But the cores of
Fukushima Dr. Chi, did partially melt. Um, so while we laugh,
because of course, we know that Amy Goodman really is aiming
more towards a China Syndrome concept. Melt down eight is a
term that can be used. So I questioned him and he gives me
an answer and then he donates. Is this awesome or wants
more questions?
Thank you, sir. Rod.
All right. Onward to awesome Johnson 2222 nose Boston,
Massachusetts, ITM crackpot and buzzkill been enjoying the show

agenda is just a start. He is he wants to get out of his dead end
telco terminal field technician job and make use of my film
degree. Right. Wow. That's going off kind of slide into the side.
Yeah, well, I have a degree in film. Do you want to go out to

on I'd like him to have you'd like him to be a producer on his
birthday, which is Sunday, actually, but we'll give it to
him today. He likes to listen to you guys. And I must admit at
first I didn't get what was good. going on, and I still
don't have the time. I refer to no agenda as his talking people
show.
Hello, it's the talking people show here.
We two people talk. But I have grown to appreciate the show
very much, even though most of it still goes over my head. Oh,
and if Adam is ever in San Antonio, he should go to one of
the two green restaurants. They have very tasty if spicy kale
salad. So you're now known as the kale guy, I
am the kale guy. I can't wait. I'm very excited, Jessica. When
when we go to get Miss Mickey's permanent green card, because
you know, there's two years and she's on probation. And then we
have to go back and I have to say if I think she's done a good
job or not. We'll go to the Green Kale restaurant.

the PR section or go to a no agenda nation.com and please
continue to go out there and do some really important like
propagating our formula. Our formula is this. We go out. We
hit people in the mouth
man, I'm dizzy. likey it dizzy? It's funny. You hear about the
black widows? Oh, you
mean the ones in Chechnya? We're gonna ruin the Olympics,
Sochi, Sochi. Here we go. Just a small ice cream treat.
With the Winter Olympic Games just less than three weeks away.
There are new and specific threats to the global event.
Female terrorists called Black Widows may have succeeded in
infiltrating Sochi and are out for vengeance
for vengeance.
What is this MDC who's doing the promotion for the Olympics? Or
is this this was who was it
may have been it Yeah, I think
probably NBC Yeah cuz they have the Olympics they gotta promote
it.
NBC barriers Terry McSweeney is live from near the Golden Gate
Bridge with more on the threat and reaction
said this. They here's what here's the way this is done. I
think all affiliates have this same they send them all a
package package. So they fronted the package with the local
report. And in this case, they put the guy over by the Golden
Gate Bridge on a remote because he's
black widows usually are or
that is about the Black Widows So he says, Well, you know, if
it was here, they'd want to blow up this bridge. That's the
compassion.
Wow. So you know, when people send us the the cone and stuff
was like, Look, all the TV stations are saying the same.
Yeah, we know okay, we know but this is now you're getting a
real look behind the scenes. So again, so every NBC affiliate
who had they have the Olympics, the Winter Olympics, they're
promoting the Winter Olympics. They have to promote it with
fear because that works promoting anything was best.
Fantastic.
Oh, God, we'll have to watch it because maybe someone will get
killed. Yeah,
the Golden Gate Bridge has been the subject of terror threats
and terror alerts over the years because of the International
publicity such an attack could bring to a terrorist group. Now
imagine if a group could pull off an attack at the Sochi
Olympic Games 18 days from now, what kind of publicity that
group might get? Well, and thanks for saying think about
the ratings that just such a plot may be well underway. And
at Sochi airport these days travellers are closely watched
as Russian security forces search for as many as four women
suspected suicide bombers who may be targeting the Olympics.
This is one of them. 22 year old Rosana I bred them over. She's a
so called Black Widow. She got that scar on her cheek during a
raid by Russian forces last year that killed her husband. Add to
all this the threat from the grave. Two men in this video
released yesterday, claiming they're preparing to carry out
last month suicide attack on Volgograd and warning of attacks
on the Olympics. They like a bragger MOBA are from Dagestan,
a Muslim Republic where many hate Vladimir Putin and want
independence from Russia. Residents say Russia's reaction
to Daghestan terrorist attacks has been harsh and pervasive
sometimes in mosques during prayer
oh man from the grave
it is so it has a lot of good elements so give them that
escape don't have this by the way these reports about the
black woods are rarely on if they are they're short pieces.
They're not really on anything but NBC
know well of course. Yeah,
I'm just pointing it out the obvious and pointing it out. I'm
wondering though how the package was presented I'd love to get a
hold of it because they because all these these B rolls and all
the stuff from these airports elsewhere is not we're not
sending anybody here from San Francisco to check this out.
It's all been provided. But I'm wondering because it seems to me
this was the way I would send out the video package from the
network I'd say can you
hold on hold on hold on a second I'll be NBC San Francisco is
like hello can be see programming department.
Yeah, this is network Hey network we're still in network I
got a package coming your way it's gonna be a video package. A
little local colour.
Okay, we'll get a guy out yep,
it's gonna be about the about the Olympics and make sure to

the middle of town we want you to go to one of your landmarks
Oh you mean to terrorists targets

whatever. What have you got a bridge there right perfect.
Yeah, Gate Bridge what a guy there and then talk about that
for a second then kick it to the to the report we have the rest
of it covered right good
great. Yeah. No, it's great. We cannot it's always good to make
people think about how scary would be if they blew up the
bridge perfect. Yeah
that budget about four minutes for the for the video which then
you can do you can pat it is what you put on make sure you
get the 18 days in their team to know when they when Olympics
began on the network
Bill, what is the what is the kind of run for this? Who's the
perpetrator? What are we put on the lower third?
You gotta there's a sheet of paper that has all your lower
thirds.
Okay, so it'd be Oh, I see it here. I got it. Black Widow. Got
it. Got it. We're good to go, man. All right. All right. All
right. Bye.
Wow, we
were uncannily good. Nailed it. Wow. You have talked to nailed
it. Nice. But just just to show people how insane the promotion
is for the Olympics. Hugh Laurie. Cue Laurie is house that
the series House. Yeah, he's the diver with the cane. So he goes
on Twitter and says I'm I'm pouring this vodka. down the
drain because of Russia. Hayes gears. To Laurie house is on
NBC. I just want to remind you, so it's so obvious. She was
on it was on Fox.
I thought no, I think it's NBC. Now it was Fox. I think it's
NBC. Oh, no. I'm pretty sure house was on NBC.
Just do a work or not. Let me is it if I'm going wrong. Search of
the
house. I'm pretty sure it's on NBC
Network.
sand. Fox.
Really? Yeah. Well, then Hugh Laurie is just a douche.
Well, maybe he's trying to get a job at it. That could be
did you use? I don't know, if you're doing this on purpose,
are you staying out of the white paper? You just don't want to
deal with it or because I've been missing out of the watch?
Well, I forwarded you the final draft of the
I never saw it.
This is a problem. I don't know what's going on. Alright, I'll
forward it through your Gmail or something. Because I got the
final final final.
It might be in there. I mean, on my box, now that I turned off
the thread view, it's now filled with crap that I don't want. Let
me just,
you thought you've gotten no spam, but you just had
everything to thread view.
You're not just No, this is not spam. This is all you know,
people. Yeah, you're getting emails all of a sudden. Lo and
behold, it turns out if you turn off thread view on squirrel
mail,
why mostly deal with the top stuff? I usually do your I do
searches for certain people. And I just read all your stuff
that makes sense. It'd be great if you could look at that.
Because get Crusader, Brian, as
your review the complete white paper? Yes, exactly. It would be
great. If you can have a look. I'm confident you will have
ideas that will be helpful to him.
Yes. About the layout and everything and you'll have a
look at it later.
Okay, I'll look at it later.
So once I have it now, but what happened in just a few days that
we're not on the air. The Washington Post literally comes
out with a headline, Russian President Putin links gays to
paedophiles now? Well, technically true.
I can see where I can see that. I can see how you could dream
that one. That's beautiful. Yeah,
well, technically true. Me. I had Mr. Oil, getting
translations of transcripts and everything. In fact, when you
really read what President Putin said, it could not be further
from the truth. And in fact, it's September of 2013. The
Russians signed all these agreements, to protect and, and,
and really enforce all kinds of law against violence against
LGBTQ Qi. And even in this reporting, in the transcript of
his interview, he does not say, Hey, you better file gay stay
away from our kids. But that's that is pretty much the way the
certainly the American media picked it up. And it's
despicable to see this from the Washington Post despicable, and
CBS and it's just, they should be ashamed of themselves.
ashamed. So I've got all that I'm not gonna go through it
again, because I'm like a broken record on this stuff. But
anyway, the parts of that will be in the white paper. And I
just like John to take a look at it just to look at format and
how the I don't think the executive summary is in there
yet. And it's a big document, and it's really good. And I'm
and I, and Brian is very courageous for doing this.
But I will put any, and we'll we'll put it as an attachment on
the newsletter on one of the newsletters. Absolutely.
Absolutely. So you know, just be aware link will link to a PDF
that you can download.
So it's really, it's gonna be great. It really is.
Just gonna just blow the lid off the media. Corruption. No, no,
it will make zero difference in the world and make no zero
difference, but at least everyone will have something to
point to you say,
look at this white paper. I have no time for such white papers. I
just read the headline. I
have no time for such nonsense.
Yeah, exactly. all scientists agree.
No, no, 98% of all scientists agree. The big difference, that
bad habit, it's just, yeah.
There's something I got a couple of weird things here. Well,
here's this let me go into a couple of Thom Hartmann clips
from sorry, yeah, he his show which is you know, he has been
trying to do he's so anti Republican. And this is where I
need the clip of Obama talking about Gitmo. But he's so anti
Republic have the clip if you want the clip. I have a I played
after it after you play. I played this clip and it was just
absorb it and you can play that clip. This is the good mo clip.
Okay. And he is so I was watching him do his show on RT.
And I realised that and he's just does anything he can just
to try to visa kind of milquetoast character he's not
you know, he tries to get angry, but it's like, you know, his
eyes bugged out. That's about as far as he gets rather new for
him though, because he's Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's and
I finally figured out what it is. Since they moved chunk and
these other guys off at MSNBC. He knows what they're Get him.
Some of these guys get paid over there. He has been I'm convinced
to this. And when you hear this clip, you'll see what I'm
talking about for a gig is what you're saying he is trying to
get a gig with MSNBC. Yeah. Because he can make a lot of
money. He's not the RT is not paying him anything. He's
probably doing what he can to make money on this on his radio
show.
Here's how. If you can bring in a sponsor, we'll give you a cut.
There. Yeah, there's that too, which is another pain. It's
probably because God made for him. Yeah. So here's what he
saw. He's trying to get everybody. And then the reason
the follow up clip is just to remind people that this is
nonsense, because you have to remember when he says that, when
would what he's about to say here, you have to remember that
Obama had the house to himself. He had the Senate to himself and
he had the executive office. He had two years, he could have
shut down get mo because he had everybody. They're all
Democrats, but somehow it was still the Republicans that were
at fault because that's what Hartman's going for here. So
let's play this
here. Good. The anti Guantanamo General. On Tuesday, 31, retired
American generals sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging
him to fulfil his promise to close down the Guantanamo Bay
Prison complex. A group which included a former Air Force
Chief of Staff, and the head of the military's Middle East
Central Command, said that Guantanamo does not serve
America's interests. As long as it remains open Guantanamo will
undermine America's security and status as a nation where human
rights and the rule of law matters. I couldn't have said it
better myself for the future. To quote, the failure to close
Guantanamo is not President Obama's fault. Republicans in
Congress, Republicans have blocked every attempt to
transfer detainees out of the prison, or otherwise closed
combat complex. Regardless of whose fault it is, though it's
encouraging to see people in the military call out Guantanamo for
what it is and national embarrassment or different
things that you could do early pertaining to executive orders.
One of them is to shut down Guantanamo Bay. Another is to
change interrogation methods that are used by US troops. Are
those things that you plan to take early action on?
Yes. I've said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and
I will follow through on that. I've said repeatedly that
America doesn't torture. And I'm going
to again, well, that's actually the 60 minutes.
Yeah, that's a different woman. That's when it's actually a
better clip. Yeah. When I was looking for because I liked
that. It mentions that he could do this by executive order,
which puts thumb Hartmann is just a hypocritical creep, for
blaming everything but he's only doing that to grab the attention
of MSNBC, which is the Republicans fault the
Republicans are creeps, put me on MSNBC so I can make some
money. I'm dying.
So is he lying? Is what you're saying? Yeah, totally. All
right.
Well, here's the other one. I had noticed this too, and I got
to a couple of clips. I got Hartman on the Second Amendment.
And he and then I have Bill Maher, who's also harping on
this and he's from that same show you didn't get these clips
off of him but I got one but clip play first Hartman on this,
that these guys are going after the Second Amendment. He's got a
new segment on his show where he puts two right wingers and it's
called the lone liberal and he argues with these two guys, it
becomes a you can you can cut it off when you feel like you
have an idea. I have an idea. Cuz I always like doing this.
Why before we play the clip, why don't we just remind everybody
it's very short, why don't just read the Second Amendment real
quickly. So everyone just remembers what it is? That it's
me it's three sentences. Okay. The Second Amendment to the
United States Constitution, a well regulated militia being
necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the
people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. And I
read that specifically. So you understand that this right of
the people which apparently already existed before the
Second Amendment shall not be infringed. So this is it does
not say you have the right to have guns. No. Your already
existing right, shall not be infringed. That's what the
Constitution says
study by researchers at the UC San Francisco has revealed that
people who have access to guns have an increased risk of both
suicide and homicide mean that the in fact people with access
to guns are two times more likely to commit suicide to be
killed. That's 100% More likely, every year 31,000 deaths between
suicides and homicides by guns. 51.8% of suicides are gun
related 66.5% of homicides in the United States. When
Australia after this, the 1996 slaughter in Tasmania in
Australia said Okay, that's it were horrified by this. They
actually showed the pictures of the victims on national
television and John Howard. George W. Bush's good buddy, the
Conservative Prime Minister, the very to the right of the
Republican Party Prime Minister said enough the states as they
as they decreased the number of guns in the states Tasmania was
the first they did the biggest gun buyback and then, you know,
we went all across the country, suicide rates and homicide rates
decreased in each one of those states following the gun buyback
programmes it was absolute relationship and to this day at
his help,
I think by the way, this suicide argument I've never understood
it's so what if people want to kill themselves with a gun? And
it's their own gun? So what just messy it's messy. I mean,
there's others cleaner
to clean up the mess Yeah, it's messy, but very inconsiderate.
Well, you know but there's also you know, the the hanging thing
is like you got it you got to the light fixture gets ripped
off the ceiling and stuff that's also annoying. But yeah, the
suicide argument I've done it let's listen to more. I'm thank
you for irritating me with this thumb guy.
This should we not say actually, let me take it a step beyond
that. Shouldn't we not say that because the Second Amendment is
archaic? Right. We said slavery was archaic, right? It was
error Stephen we love me as you can see that the first is also
our key. No, I won't.
Who's that who said that was a funny line. Ya know that he has
these two right wing guys that argue with a man by the way beat
him at almost every turn. Segment he looks like an idiot.
That's archaic.
Let's let's get rid of that first amendment thing. That's no
good. Well, I
thought Wait Psalm goes on here and you have to listen
carefully. He goes on and claims that the Second Amendment was
only put in by some Virginians who wanted to make sure they had
guns to shoot any slaves that tried to escape Exactly. What
first of all, it didn't exist. The first time we still
have newspapers, but we don't have slavery. And the second
amendment was passed to protect slavery. You know, the Virginia
ratifying convention that Virginians were the guys who
were demanding that there be a Bill of Rights attached. That
was that was the time that is absolutely absurd. Everybody
wants to believe. Had they been allowed to exercise the Second
Amendment right, perhaps slavery wouldn't exist. Let me explain
that like in the fashion that era claiming that New Englanders
didn't want guns. Sorry, that
too much. It's just that it falls apart because all these
guys are arguing at once. It's a terrible segment. Well, the
white guy is off the deep end.
But why would you hate him? Is this a personal vendetta you
have against thumb?
No, I have no, I don't care one way or the other. I find that
actually I've listened to his radio show. And he's, every once
in a while, he just goes right to the heart of the matter. He
nails a topic. He's really actually pretty good from his
perspective. And I enjoy it. But on this TV show, it's so obvious
he's trying to get out of our T to get a gig with MSNBC that I
find that extremely annoying. He's also not fit for
television. Well, he's got a bug out. He's obviously he's not a
nearsighted guy. So when he wears glasses, he's he's
farsighted. You know, for people who are farsighted when they
have their glasses on their eyeballs are doubled the size.
Yeah. Yeah. Let's go to Bill Maher and start with it. So he's
on the two tirades. He's one against guns. But the other one,
I caught me a little off guard, because I had predicted this in
an essay I had written about 10 years ago, and I got excoriated
for it. And my basic thesis, well first played Bill Maher
one, and then I'll tell you my thesis.
Bill Maher one, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry, I got the
wrong clip here. Okay, here we go. And as
we start a new year, let's start a new tradition, a good
tradition to replace one of our stupid traditions, like the
Electoral College.
Okay, so he just starts off by saying we have to replace a
tradition. This is not a tradition, by the way. The
electoral college is not a tradition,
this documented process. It's a process that's
in the constitution. So I had this thesis at least 10 years
ago, and I stick to it and I've always believed it that's
by the way that's a very good catch that him saying stuff like
that. It's pretty outrageous.
Yeah, well played well, this would before I go on, my thesis
is played built the second Bill Maher clip, which includes some
other stuff, but he still brings up the electoral college is more
on on the guns and more,
but we're not going to drop that bad habit without making another
important resolution, which is to stop hanging on to stupid
stuff long after it's irrelevant. Just because it's
tradition. We don't need the electoral college or the drug
war, or the penny. Or farm subsidies are an amendment in
the Constitution about how citizens need rifles in case
they have to take over the government.
Hey, people who clapped, you're the first to go.
Yeah, let's hope the first whatever the case so there's so
this and by the way uses the word relevant, which is the same
thing thumb use that same word relevant. Yeah. So these aren't
relevant anymore. And the the, but we know they're gonna go
after the Second Amendment has been a policy it's also self
identify
why we also know why. And the reason is not even to actually
rid the country of guns. The reason is to ensure that no
woman in America ever votes for a Republican.
Right. It's to get everyone off. Yeah. Because you associate guns
with Republicans and went and then you scare women with all
dead kids. Yeah. And then they vote Democrat. And that's kind
of the reason for the whole thing, which is this a great
ploy or break point? And there's so that you get more women
voting for Democrats and Republican for some reason, and
that's the reason I think
it is very important to point out that I really do not believe
any Democrat. Of course, there's some crazy ones but don't
actually care. They don't really want the guns gone. They just
want to get reelected. They just want to have more the power to
continue. I'm
really yeah, they're all shooters defect. Tom Hartman
admits he likes to go target shoes. So
does Bill Maher says he has guns? Yeah. So this
is bunch of hypocrites. Whatever the case is, the electoral
college thing is a new thing. They snuck in there and I didn't
say I predicted it. I did. I predicted this over a decade
ago. I and here's the reason. Here's the rationale. I believe
that they've been going after they they want to go after the
electoral college. Because for one thing, there's always this
argument that you
need to stop for one second. I believe due to the nature of
this programmes, audience, the producers worldwide, I think we
need to briefly explain the electoral college.
That point, the electoral college is a group of people
that actually pick the President in the presidential race based
and they, and it works like this every state's numbers come in.
And this is like if the state of Florida elects George Bush, then
the Electoral College members from Florida, cast their vote
for Bush in the Electoral College.
How does how does what determines how many state has
how many
electoral votes state's population,
okay, and who chooses the people who cast the electoral votes
at this, I think they'll let the local legislatures they pick
some people. And the whole thing process is really kind of just a
rubber stamp process. If you here's what the problem is, they
tend to the electoral college can be voted, your state has the
policies or how to put the Electoral College votes in,
right? So if there's a winner take all state. Everybody votes
for the winner.
Okay, so there are differences in each individual state how the
Electoral College votes.
My understanding is everybody does winner take all that's why
when you see the elections, but I think they can do whatever
they want. But in fact, I think they can even say the other guy
if they wanted to, which is one of the reasons people want to
get rid of it. But generally speaking, that's when when you
see the election, say, Oh, they won Florida, that's 25 votes in
the Electoral College. And that's and that the vinyl and
that's all that counts. And so what's happened over the years
is that smart politics, and I think this began with Reagan
began to target the populous states that had the most
electoral college votes and just win those states. And then dead
whatever it Nebraska, Kansas, who cares? Then go either way.
So you're so you have this thing now, where you have all the
states that really pick the president, are the same that you
can count them. There's California, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, and a couple others, and those are the
states that everyone tries to win, nothing else matters.
Because nothing else matters. Because if you can just win
these big Electoral College states, you can win the
election. So the possibility always exists. It doesn't just
happen once or twice. I think it happened. I can't remember which
presents but it's way back in the 1800s. It happened once and
I think I think it could be argued that it happened with
George Bush's initial election. I'm not sure whatever the case
is, the possibility exists because of this mechanism, that
you could have a popular vote way for one guy and the
electoral college vote the other guy wins right now, which
has always been the reason for the Electoral College has been
specifically for that. So that if for some reason somehow
everyone was paid off and they voted for the wrong guy, the
Electoral College, it's like a backstop. The Electoral College
could still save.
That was surance insurance policy, the insurance policy
process and this has
been in place since day one of our
beliefs Okay, all right. Now, but here's what here's the real
problem was screw all this nonsense about the process. It's
gotten to the point where local TV markets in states like Kansas
and elsewhere, they get no advertising no money, and they
need money because nobody gives a crap. Who wins Kansas? And so
the producer, there's no money trying to make the Election go
one way or the other. And so the Kansas logo markets are both.
Okay, now I know where you're going. It took me now. Yes, this
is actually a current theme, which returns about every four
years and it's a good one.
And so every so every newspaper, and local magazine and TV and
radio outlet in many states get none of the money that you see
pumped into Ohio,
which is literally billions,
billions it was like 3 billion or something total. Now, it
nobody really cared too much about this a while until
Let me guess until it turned out that in California, everyone's
so in for the Democrats that they also are getting no money,
right California, big budget, large media markets. Because
they're all in on the Democrats. Everyone's in California
Democrat. They were getting no money, and they should be
getting a big pot of money. So the reason for this, of course,
is the electoral college. Yes. Now, if without an electoral
college, now you can't play the game of just targeting one or
two states, California finally gets its money.
So it also behoves the big media outlets to propagate this idea
of removing the Electoral College because they want the
money.
So when I first wrote this up this idea, the result was Yeah,
nuts. Conspiracy Theory. Really, anyway, yeah. Hey, did reaction
to it wasn't very positive. But it's so obvious that that's what
has to happen. Right?
Well, it's all it's, of course, and it's all happening now.
Because the you know, we have to get this go. And this is where
the money comes from. This is so much money is involved in this
and it all flows through top down at $3 billion, at least,
kind of on that on that minor topic. Just a little side note.
You'll recall, I was doing a show in the Netherlands on a
radio station,
the one that was burned to the ground after you left because
you said something.
Yeah. Do you remember what it was? I said?
He said somebody was a paedophile. Yeah, right.
The the the Secretary General of the Justice Department in the
Netherlands, you're endemic. And I didn't just say that I said,
Look, here's here's the evidence. Here's what's going
on. And I was removed from the station. The stations financing
was removed, their licence was revoked. And it turned to
rubble. Work Adam is on Tuesday, the Justice Department now this
guy retired two years ago. And after I think blackmailing
people and propagating all kinds of crazy crap throughout the
Justice Department and the entire Dutch government. The the
Justice Department said we It looks like we indeed have to
prosecute yours damning for suspicion of his crimes of
paedophilia
Oh, aren't you happy that you did this? Because it was
obviously your reporting that resulted in this in the final
justice that being met out
it well I'm sure I contributed in some small way but it's it's
one of those things where you can say after the fact like See,
I told you I'm gonna have no job and the station station is Rob
alized but we were right
yeah, so that's the reason we have no station we have no
advertisers. We can say what we want. We can't say what we want.
We can't label people we know
we can't but how I'm going to show my sorry.
No, I don't don't don't if I if I jump back in don't don't stop
I actually wanted to stop it for myself because I learned a new
word. It's called a slap. S L A. P P Have you ever heard of a
slap?
No, I have but I don't know what it is strategic lawsuit
against public participation. Oh, that's neat. And it's what
this is essentially is if if you say something mean about
somebody and it's not really liable, but the person or the
company wants to suit wants to get Yeah. Then they file what is
known as you know, this slap lawsuit which essentially just
bleed you dry. So it's just it's just a way it's under tort you
know, because tort law is so weird in America, they just they
just bleed you dry until you give up. Or you run out of
money, which is very you run out of money very quickly, or you
just die or whatever.
Yeah, most of these, the most trivial of lawsuits cost 40
grand minimum to get just to deal with.
So a friend of mine is very worried about slap because he's
doing a documentary and there's some stuff going on. And so he
has errors and omissions insurance and all kinds of
stuff. But it turns out that there's jurisprudence for us.
There was a talk show host who was sued, trying to find the
have the Martino to Tom Martino, I think is his name. I have no
idea what that is. And they they tried to slap lawsuit on him and
it was thrown out. Because the judge said, even though this guy
presents thing as facts, because he's a comedian and makes jokes
all the time in the show, no one could possibly think that
everything he says is true.
Oh, so what about the flying saucers?
Exactly. John Moon bases. We never landed there.
So I'm reading this book. I'm reading. I'm starting to I'm
reading alternative what I consider alternative reality
books. I'm just some of them are
very interesting. Where's where's John C. Dvorak. Who are
you? I
just jumped thinking about the slap suit as we speak. And I
have to say that I that I'm going to discuss this in a
future segment because I got two books to recommend people for
alternative reality books. Which one of them is extremely well
documented, which indicates that the Germans actually had an a
bomb. In October of 1944, I mean, the name Israel Scout
Berlin power grid,
give me the name of this book.
I didn't say the name of the book. It's not one of these is a
really it's a privately printed book someplace that is very well
documented. The name is a mile long, it's in my bedroom. I
can't remember the name offhand. I'll get it for you. And the
book is, it's talks mostly about it's just a fascinating tale
that is got stuff in there and every time here's one of the
tidbits he built there's documentation to indicate that
we actually dropped two bombs on Nagasaki The first one was a dud
and it was recovered and and it was given to the Germans to to
use whatever did see how the explosive how that work because
there was some issues with getting these trigger mechanisms
to work properly. And that Nagasaki first Nagasaki bomb
apparently had this problem. The other one was we never had we
had two kinds of bombs we dropped we dropped a uranium
bomb and a plutonium bomb. This is documented. We never had
enough uranium to make the uranium bomb right up to the
last minute until we robbed and transport of highly fissile
uranium that they had been developing and working on and we
stole it and use it in our bomb. Now this goes on and on with all
kinds of these tidbits and I will bring this book up on the
Sunday show
nice I like it but
it is just like it's not as if this guy is just blowing smoke
he dot he's got newspaper articles he talks about the the
pot the EMP that probably happened that took out the
Berlin electrical grid, which was the most modern in the world
in 1944 for 60 hours. Right when they were supposed to be testing
this super it was called a disintegration bomb. Wow, this
is what they call these great stuff. And they blew this bomb
up as a test and they blew it up on a bunch of Jewish prisoners
that they put in housing development as one does Yeah,
and apparently they also dropped one of them they gave you can
couldn't make too many of these but they've got one of them on
the Russians on one of the on a specific Russian regimen and
took the whole group out and and the Russians refused to talk
about it because they didn't want to give any buddy you know
any
ad heads right heads up that it was real.
But anyway, this is this kind of thing is what I'm looking at
these sorts of would you please
let us know on Sunday what that is I already told people books
it's the book stuff is good and I we've gotten away from that a
little bit you know, although I'm now reading Gates's book if
I find anything interesting that hasn't been discussed on because
you don't you know no one on the the mainstream. They'll be
something no one reads those books. They just
go on the Kindle. You can read it for some reason. I would
recommend this to people. It's a plug. The Kindle Paperwhite
I got Mickey one of those for Christmas. Oh my God. Nothing is
a paperweight. Yeah, the Paperwhite Yeah, you can plough
through books with that thing. No, what I like about it it also
depending on your speed at the bottom, it'll tell you how many
hours left to finish the book.
Yeah tells you that's kind of cool in this chapter. Yeah,
but I switched back I don't have the Paperwhite have the original
Kindle, but I also use the the I find the the Kindle app on my
iPod Touch is really quite fantastic for reading at night
in bed. But the Paperwhite it does it really beats everything
it is. It's unreal.
Yeah, it was I'm astonished. I can't even read a regular Kindle
now because the Paperwhite and the great thing is you don't
need like a lot of light in the room. You just sent me the
lights up the place. Yeah, it's just but you can plough really
read fast and it's just your speed just goes faster and
faster. Anyway, that's a recommendation. Let's thank a

time for another donation my wife and I are officially
expecting a new human resource well to actually Heyo both
she'll be raised to question authority think for themselves
and do their own research before believing what bullcrap is fed
to them. See this. This puts a smile on my face.
Yeah, it does. But you know, it doesn't necessarily work out
that way.
Hello, Debbie Downer. Ain't gonna
just tell it like it is like my daughter, for example. It goes
to a kind of a conservative University of Willamette. She's
still subjected to the same propaganda stuff. And I tell her
no, no, no, they can look at it this way. And then she says she
likes you to dadier Yeah, I
I think it's still I think it's still it. It rubs off. And there
will be some things the questioning of your command J
questions authority.
Usually mine
well, that it's training wheels daddio it's important that
That's how it starts. Now, when people say to me, but what good
do you think you're really doing with that? No agenda show?
Is that that same guy, no different stop talking to him,
that different guy. That's actually okay. And I say, Well,
you know what? One by one, one little person at a time, we're
making our little difference. And it's mainly by making them
laugh and making them feel good about, you know, the constant
assault of bullcrap that's being thrown over them. And if you can
get your kids into this at an early age, it will make them
happier people.
I think, Well, I think well, yeah, maybe no, wow. They've
they listened to the show, it would help.
Well, yeah, but you're not everyone can listen to the show.
People who don't have a commute will never listen to the show.
It just doesn't happen that way.
You know, it's true people and you really do need to be a
commuter to listen to this show. I
had. I had a mandate. I've had my you had a mandate. What was
your mandate? I had two mandates. The first two ones
I've had in Austin. One, a man date. Yes. But I liked Santa
man, with a man date with a man two men ones one at a time
Monday with my buddy mark. And we talk and it's great, because,
you know, we just talked all about Turkey. And caliphate and
you know who else except you and my wife will talk to me about
this stuff. And then Tuesday, I had drinks and dinner well, more
bar food with Eric, the constitutional lawyer, who of
course he can't talk to anybody in Austin. Can't talk to a
single person. And it's so nice. Where you can just have a
conversation about the bullcrap. You know what I mean? And so
this is this is what we do as a show we give you the
understanding that you're not alone. But even I have that
sometimes.
And they're you know, I think a lot of people got a clue.
Yeah, well, they do. Our listeners they're often
they gravitate toward our show. They had many had a clue before
the show they just now there's just i Exactly. John geyser in

know nice things today. We only had a short list was to be
expected. Whenever we do well and it's the yo yo effect which
I could do without by the way.
You can't get away from the yo yo
effect just a little much for me Ah
boy yeah, well Justin Bieber's doing in the news. Danica
Patrick's in the news. They had
Oh, you know it was you know, I got some like a little quick fun
stuff. Caught the President with a flub always funny just to
laugh at the president
one of them as tough on Rodriguez. Who else will also is
here where's Darius? Good looking young guy right here
could not speak a word of English when he moved to the
United States from the Dominican Republican. There he is from the
Dominican
Republican.
It's because he's so this is a prompter flub. He's so used to
seeing the word Republican on his teleprompter. That it just
flips out now.
Yeah, that's exactly what that was. Yeah, yeah. It prompts the
thing is, you know, he's not that bad as an ad libber when he
comes on does Leno or roulette, especially with Letterman,
because apparently the two of them like each other,
but that it means that is all pre produced and pre discussed
and to a
point but it's not in so well rehearsed. It's, it's well is
better than his prompters stuff. He's the prompters out I think
they should be now have Letterman had a sense of humour,
when they brought the president they'd have to prompters up
there just as a joke. But
that's fine. Nobody thinks like that. There's a there's a term
going around, which I think we should pay attention to, because
I'm not quite sure it's well understood. Here's a CBS
throwing it out there. In an interesting context,
demonstrators
blocked private shuttle buses operated by Google and Facebook
and San Francisco Tuesday, several tech companies use the
shuttles to transport workers to and from their jobs in Silicon
Valley, some 35,000 Passenger pickups a day this seems to be
about more than shuttle buses. Oh, of course it is. Of course
it is. The private buses have become symbols of income
inequality,
income inequality. What this is a big term income. Well, it's
either income inequality or income equality. Apparently the
President is striving for something called income equality
and I'm not sure if this is based upon gender or or just you
know you make that we got to make the same I hear it all the
time. It seems to be a meme that is floating around hasn't quite
found a home yet. You haven't caught this
you all know this came up weeks ago. Yeah, he they've been
talking about this is like I don't know what the I don't know
where they're headed with it. That's why I haven't really
discussed it or thought much about it. But ya know, it's all
over the place. And this Google thing is apparently a worldwide
thing. I have a clip from France van cat on the San Francisco
Google bus bus international coverage and this is the way
they handle it.
Over time, first of all, they got cool music. I mean, hello,
right there. That's much better keep it ours,
the American rap group Cashbox, I've released a song criticising
Google buses the ultra luxury vehicles driving around San
Francisco provided by the web giant to transport employees
that buses are targeted as the level of comfort they offer is
deemed indecent as a typical video if you're in the debate,
which has continued to grow in amplitude in recent weeks. Last
month, the inhabitants of San Francisco and its suburbs
blocked Google buses on several occasions and even broke the
windscreen of one vehicle in Oakland chanting slogans such as
San Francisco is not for sale. The protesters criticised Google
in particular for causing rent increases by encouraging rich
employees from Silicon Valley to move to San Francisco, the into
1000s of evictions, or even signs of the protests on the
city's walls. As shown by some social network users. Many
posters denounce these buses, which have become symbols of
inequality between inhabitants whether they are owned by
Google, or by other Silicon Valley companies such as Apple,
Facebook and Yahoo. The debate has also inspired to San
Francisco artists Colleen Flaherty and Matthew B tanti who
depict miniature Google buses in a series of sculptures and
titled The Street views of San Francisco, the sculptures can be
seen on their site, which highlights changes to the urban
landscape where instability and world rub shoulders phenomenon,
which according to the two artists has led San Francisco to
lose it. So
the San Francisco apparently has lost its soul. Also, Oakland is
part of San Francisco. So somehow, Oakland they stopped
the bus in Oakland. And
now I'm just thinking now is there something more going on
here? Is Is everyone you know in San Francisco all pissed off
about this? At all? Is it really the huge outrage like
some sort of a crazy publicity stunt that is so deep? Hmm,
maybe I, I, what I do is question things. That's all I
can find. I know
and I been questioning it myself. And I like to report
Well, for one thing, it's a pro Google report because it goes
because of this information that came out in this report. They go
they the rap group is mocking these buses because they're too
luxurious. Yeah, I'm right. There. So luxurious there.
sinfully luxurious. We don't see any. I've never seen a picture
of the inside of these buses. But I know that type of bus,
just a bus. It's kind of nice. And it's a bus
we all know that.
Go Go dancers in there.
It all it's all symbolism. And I guess the question, huh? Because
typically when things are going well, in the economy of a city
like San Francisco, people are happy because money is money
flows. So either a the money's not flowing. And all I hear is
rents going up rents going up. We know the poor people of San
Francisco can't afford to live there anymore. And can't even
afford to live in Oakland. They can't even afford to live
wherever.
Now. The latest thing is San Jose. So as far as San Jose,
there was a couple in the downtown is not right downtown,
but right in the main part of San Jose. There are apparently a
couple of these they call them trailer parks. Now when I was up
in Oregon last time, and I don't know why this is and I don't you
probably haven't done it either. But I've actually never driven
through one I mean there's there's two kinds of trailers
parked there's the park that's got a bunch of trailers in it
and that people travel around they park their trailer and then
that's like an RV park that's where it's similar to an RV park
but
they're usually we're longer term there's an RV park
destroyed let's make it three kinds. There's we are we are we
actually worked term
we stayed at a an actual trailer park when we did our first tour
in North Carolina.
Right?
Yeah, so we I've been I've stayed at a trailer park.
Okay, but you've never been into one of these. These this what
they call a trailer park, but it's actually a small housing
development that has nothing but very elaborate double wides.
Yeah. permanently installed. Yes. No, I had to drive your RV
in there and park it. No. And I did. Yes. Correct.
Have you ever been in through those things? Yeah. That's the
one in North Carolina that
well, how did you get to park there's no room to park and then
we, one of our producers,
his name evades me for a moment. He runs the trailer park
on he let you park in his driveway. Yes, exactly. Okay.
All right. Well, those trailer parks Well, I was up into Oregon
with my daughter, and we were driving somewhere. And I,
there's one of these parks and I said, let's go in here. And, of
course, on the spur of the moment, I wish that we drove
through the thing. And it's like, all the way back house.
This is where she starts questioning your authority. Dad,
I don't want why I want to drive through a trailer park.
We were actually sure but she was fascinated as much as I was.
We drove through the thing and it's got like streets and you
know, cross sections. It's like a little town. There's no room
for it. I mean, it's all permanent. With gardens and
driveways and special garages, it's it looks like houses, but
it's actually these these mobile, double wides are these
things that they were sold just for this purpose or not, you
don't really drive around the country with them. And it's
modular housing is what it amounts to. So there's one of
these in San Jose and they they're going to tear it out and
put in a high rise and they didn't. So they were
interviewing these women that were living a mom and a
daughter, 90 year old mom and her seven year old daughter
living in one of these things, and they're talking about how
they get in Rouse and there's no place else for him to go. And
when he's supposed to do you can't really move these things.
And I just think, you know, this is one of the things that is
going on there uprooting things like these parks because
essentially, it's a real estate idea. You build a bunch of these
put people in these things. And then you have a whole bunch of
land that you own. The guy in your case owns most of the
property, I'm sure and they just those guys just play squatters
ranch. Right? Well, this is
kind of this is kind of the the perverseness of when people
really want to help you Brad Pitt was going to put 150 houses
in New Orleans in the Ninth Ward. And of course, these were
also houses that Brad Pitt designed because Brad Pitt is
frustrated architect. And I think they only put 40 or 50 in
and instead of the people whose lives were destroyed and
devastated. You got kind of upward like more like yuppie
types coming in. And boom, immediately, all the clubs
everywhere. They used to have no cover charge to come in and
watch a band now they're charging cover. And then the
people who live there who actually these houses were
intended for they have to move away. Yeah, this does happen all
the time. And it's good intentions, I think. But it
always kind of backfires.
I think it's good intentions to but it's like naive good
intentions, because it never works out. Especially when you
have guys are just got the you know, the money touch. They go
in there and the money touch. They do so there are some people
that whatever they do that just makes money and it at the
expense of the locals. You know, the whole hipster thing is kind
of
like that. Yeah, that's like Austin Austin is changing that
way. rapidly. Hi. Well, that's something I've been holding on
to for was just kind of fun. Just a couple of fun clips that
we could listen to. Marijuana is still a big conversation in the
United States. And there was this DEA agent, I think it was
it was like a deputy something or other Capra's his name. And
he was he testified about marijuana and how the DEA has to
deal with it. And I just wanted to, you know, this is this is
all kind of federal and he was testifying in front of
Feinstein, and it's just kind of funny how he was freaking out
about how marijuana is just so horrible. And you want to listen
to just a couple clips here, just this guy. I'm
always interested in this stuff. Okay.
I have to tell you this, I have to and I served in the great
state of California for nine years as as a new agent, and I
went with you to Redding, California, don't remember there
was more hair here. When you establish an office up there for
meth. I must tell you this, because it would be wrong for me
to tell you going down the path to legalisation in this country
is reckless and irresponsible. I am the department is set up
factor, sir, if and I get that. I'm talking about the long term
impact of legalisation in the United States if it scares us,
now, listen very carefully. The treatment people are afraid to
education people are afraid. Law enforcement is worried what is
going to happen in every part of the world where this experiment
has been tried. It has failed time and time again.
No, that's not true. This is just a blatant lie in Portugal,
where all drugs were decriminalised. It's been very
successful.
Very successful.
Now yes, it's an out and out lie but I love how it's in every
place in the world. What is it somebody
that's listening to this say, What about Portugal? We've got
plenty of numbers on Portugal. And this is not the case. And I
think you can make the same rationale for Holland when it
was like normal.
Yeah, yeah. Now that of course that had to harmonise and that's
all screwed up. Now he comes with some alliteration
illiterate alliteration. What is literary alliteration?
alliteration? Alliteration anyway, people
think that DEA and law enforcement officers around the
world are interested in Billy and his bong and his basement.
Come on. That's a good one. Man. I've come I love that. That's
like, like building bombs in your basement for Boston is
Billy and the bong in the basement is beautiful.
We're not we never had been. That's his mother and father's
problem. That's not the federal government's problem. That's not
Jimmy cappers problem. And DEA that's a mom and dad problem.
What I'm interested in what DEA has always been interested is,
is the trafficking groups that want Billy to be puffing on his
bond, the groups that are selling dope to our kids,
because they live off the backs of addiction. That's what they
want. And by the way, we've never gotten F and I've done
that because people thought we're going after small time,
traffickers. I've been DEA for 27 years, never arrested
inadequate. And I don't have any small time traffickers that we
don't we don't have time for that, because we're dealing with
things like this on a global scale. Yeah,
really? That's another lie. Yeah. Oh, I know, the prisons
are filled with not only small time traffickers, but users. I
know. They're filled to the gills with these guys. And of
course, they are part of the prison corporation, you know,
manufacturing segment of the country, which allows us to have
prison labourers. And so this guy is just a blatant this guy
should be ashamed of himself. He's just just lying through his
teeth. Because well, of course, it's what is he going to do? If
it was all legalised? He would wouldn't get a job. Obviously,
he's got no other skills.
Meanwhile, the deferred prosecution agreements between
the Justice Department and HSBC, the bank that was reached in
December 2012, was approved on Monday. The settlement for the
bank failing to stop billions of dollars in drug money from
flowing through the bank from Mexico, they will pay $2 billion
in fines, which is about five weeks worth of profit, to avoid
criminal charges.
Oh, good for them. Yeah. So that kid gets picked up because you
know, Billy and his boss from Friday night, high school
football game, here is
a statistic I did not know. And I have no way of checking it.
There are more
dispensaries in Denver, and then there are Starbucks. Now, do you
think that's true?
Yeah, I heard this before. This is one of their little common
things they like to drop out there. And then it is true.
Wow. Awesome. I think you're telling me that federal law
ought to be enforced. There's what it's all about. There you
go. Grassley? No, no, no, that's not Grassley. That's, I forget
who that is. But that's really what it's about. So I had a nice
conversation with Eric, the constitutional lawyer about
this. Good. And and I asked him it because he was putting he was
doing some permitting for a gas fired electricity generation
plant in El Paso. And it is for turbine. He says it's pretty
much like having a 747 on the tarmac revving its engines full
speed. That's what this is. And it can provide enough wattage
for a quarter of the population of El Paso prob about 200,000
people. And he said, What should just be a matter of just getting
a building permit? Because of the EPA, he says, turns into
this huge, incredible litigation. And I said, Well, I
don't understand how come why is it that you can't just like
Colorado with their weed? You know, it's like the Feds don't
come in and bust everybody, because they don't really have
the right. And he says, yeah, it's his aid. And he never
thought of it that way. But it turns out, Texas has some of
this the most, the toughest environmental laws anywhere. And
because of that, people can which I didn't know either, by
the way, people can just throw up roadblocks all the time.
Eventually, they get it done. But again, there's no way that
the that federal law, trumps the state law, even the EPA, really,
it can make it very tough for everybody. They can't really
stop it. But because everyone believes that federal law trumps
everything, and we have this conversation all the time, and
my God, how many lawyers that we have listening to the show that
write us and say you're wrong federal law, does Trumps state
law.
Well, generally speaking, I this like the lat last guy who did
that they tend to be law students.
Yeah, that's true. That's true, which
means It says to me, what does that say to us? It says that the
law schools are the ones teaching this, this this
concept. Yes. Well, that's uh, you're coming out of law school
and you've got this room just built in, you know, so as you'd
lock step, you know, Hitler salute built into your studies,
really, you will spew this and it becomes part of the you know,
this just make it universal. In fact, the one guy this was going
on, so what then? Okay, explain to me why, and this one I
thought was was really just set it all. Why you had to have the
amendment to the Constitution to outlaw alcohol, the prohibition,
exactly a 12th amendment. Perfect example, appealed at one
of the two. Anyway, so you had to have a constitutional
amendment, which means why didn't you have to have a
constitutional amendment to make marijuana illegal? And his
response was a convoluted one that said, back then, back then,
it was different, because there's been certain court
cases, certain Supreme Court decisions, and certain and also
new ways of doing things that now would make it. If it was if
we wanted to do prohibition today. According to him, we
wouldn't need a constitutional man, we just need a federal law,
right? Well, that's just not true. Because we have a federal
law for pot and no one's enforcing it, because they know
they can't,
they don't want to get into a 10th amendment beef at the
Supreme Court level, when all of a sudden all their laws are
crap. So they're not gonna they're not doing anything.
They're scared.
Yeah. Oops, oh, wait a minute. And now everything's off the
table can't have that. Well, this is there's something
happening in, in the Euro land zone, as well. In fact, the
Netherlands just had a, a citizens initiative for an EU
referendum, which is an interesting because the
Netherlands vote pretty docile people that are kind of all in
on everything, and oh, home, whatever, just go along, even
though it was the Netherlands and France, you'll recall who in
2005, in referenda voted against the European Constitution, which
resulted directly in the Lisbon Treaty, which was which was not
voted on the only country that was allowed to vote on it was
Ireland. Ireland said, No, we don't want it, then we had to do
over and said, Look, you're going to vote yes. And then
everybody voted yes, somehow, it was very interesting how that
happened. The Netherlands got they got 63,000 signatures, or
more than for this citizens initiative. They want a
referendum to stop. Power, more power going to Brussels to the
EU and even specifically, removing themselves from the EU.
Not that I think that will happen. I don't even know if
they'll get a referendum the way they want it. Because that is
not the system of government in the Netherlands, it said, it
typically is a representative government with a coalition. But
it is interesting that is happening. And it's and it's a
lot more than I expected, I didn't think this would would
take place at all. And it does seem that they're gonna have to
do a lot of Shut up to a lot of slaves, because I'm feeling that
there is some movement. Now, when we get Nigel Farraj, will
be leading some of that with LePen from France and, and
feared builders from the Netherlands. And I think there's
someone in one of the Scandinavian countries who I
can't think of at the moment. And there are there is some
movement going and they're going to have to shut this down
quickly. Because this vote is coming up in I think May. And I
know it's just I can feel some movement here in there. And it's
kind of a similar thing.
A little follow that obviously,
I tried to
I read, again, listening to some of these foreign news reports.
This was I found just for the audience's interest, not
entertainment, or just it this I thought this was interesting.
This was the this is a clip that's that's dubbed refugee
numbers. And it discusses the number of ref, you know,
refugees from various conflicts and countries and whatever.
Today, compared to what we had in 1975, which you'd think would
be which, you know, maybe ramp up with the population of double
and say, but it's the numbers are quite, I asked you, what do
you think the number how many refugees there were in the world
in 1975, and how many you think there are today and you your
guests would be hard to come close to this. Listen to this
and just listen to these numbers.
In 1975 there was some 1,400,000 refugees across the world. In
2012. This figure stood at close to 18 million. This interactive
map focuses on the number As if people fleeing conflicts in
their home country or political or religious persecution over
the past 40 years,
I'd say Syria, Syrian refugees by themselves is only as a
million.
Yeah. This is outrageous. Well, the rubble isation of the world.
I love that term
is creating this outrageous refugee problem. You know, we
went from 1,000,005 or so in 1975, which, you know, which was
a period of a worldwide depression, essentially, it was
a bad era to 18 plus million. Yeah. So, aimlessly roaming
around and living in camps. This is terrible.
A lot of that is I believe, is happening in. In the Middle
East, I think Africa as well.
Yeah, Africa in the Middle East is where most of it's happening.
And also, I think, by
the way, as part of the just a little call back to the Eurabia
and as a part of the the Khalif and the caliphate and all this
stuff that I've been reading about Africa you know, is a big
part of this there is a big the Muslim conversion process is
also all over Africa. And this creates wars and that creates
the same thing more people moving around moving the intense
and, and you know, who's in charge of this at the, at the at
the big, United Nations level? You know, you know, who is the
ambassador of refugees?
Well, is it Hillary?
Angelina Jolie? Oh, I think she should we need to fire her as
she's doing a horrible job. She is not doing anything good for
the refuge, which has only gotten worse. kinky sex. That's
Yes. You need to get George Clooney in there. Get someone in
there. We will do do something.
Yeah, get George Clooney. I'm trying to cue you for the call.
Cleany I didn't I didn't feel like favourite clip. I
didn't feel it was time to do it. Is a spy. I liked that one
better.
I know you love that one. Did you never play the other one? Do
you want that you'd like to call Clooney better? Yeah, it's
it's a toe Tapper. You've got some distraction.
Really, it's a toe Tapper. Very nice. Let's talk about native
advertising for a minute since I teased it in the newsletter. I
wanted to get a couple of names out there for people
let's explain. You want to run run by every but this is this is
the new thing. Everyone's into it. It's the New York Times.
Washington Post is doing it. It seems to be the only way now
that you can make money on the internet with content.
Yeah, and so you have so native advertising, which means it
appears in your publication natively as though it was an
article is actually an advertisement. And a good native
ad we I've seen you see these all the time I've bitched about
it and print myself I'll probably complain more. Even
though if I was running a magazine or a newspaper, a
normal one that was that like ours, which actually gets to the
bottom of things, but something is just weak entertainment for
the masses. I would probably be all in on this one of the
biggest operations out there is Mashable, which is completely
not only all in but it's a poster boy. With cashmore
appearing on the website of the number one agency in the
country, the MSL group. is the number one native advertising
operation pushing it I think, I don't know if they invented it,
it's hard to tell where it actually came from. I mean, it's
been around for a long time, but nobody, everyone was always
rebuked.
Well, I think, if I can just interject that I think the main,
the main difference here is that these publications are allowing
the advertisers direct access into their content management
system. So there's, they don't, there's no editorial process, it
flows right through into the native
action. And you'll get a kick out of this because you know,
these systems, the company you're looking for there is
called not TiVo in a Tiv. Oh, not TiVo, and essentially you
subscribe to them. And then they take the crap that you want to
put in the New York Times or one of these other places and they
just drop it in. And in the real time, let me read you from the
slide show that MSL group has about I'm just going to read
from the slides you can see work in native advertising be
executed at Native advertise this is a deck. native
advertising can be executed across a variety of media
publishers and platforms such as publisher sites and blogs, such
as BuzzFeed, Business Insider, CNN Money, entrepreneur, Forbes,
Kipling, Juror, Maxim, Motor Trend, Reader's Digest Source
Interlink The New York Times the street.com. USA Today, Web MD
and a few 1000 more.
It's everywhere.
All the top social networks have data products Facebook,
Foursquare, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr. So this is a
plague on on anyone, actually your real news coverage, your
reporting? No, no, this is just essentially taking as a debt.
And they show up on all the TV shows. In fact, you're getting
that Chevy job. And I and you can't even spot him because a
good native ad we've spotted him all the time, of course. But
every once in awhile, you'll wonder is this really is this a
native ad? Or is this like, generally speaking, if they're
eating McDonald's Big Macs on a TV show, and Brett and talking
about how great they are, that's, that's native
advertisement in some way, shape, or form. And that's what
we saw with the, the five or whatever is on this, let
me just say there's a difference between product placement, which
is so for instance, morning, Joe has Starbucks coffee, as does
the voice by the way. American Idol has a Coca Cola and they're
paid and then of course, and then taking a sip, etcetera.
Then there's a difference where you have where they actually do
a segment about healthy eating. And the panel in the morning is
talking about how McDonald's has salads. So that's that is the
real native advertising, we actually we ran across one of
the Wall Street Journal, which someone sent to me, it was about
the James Pennebaker 's book. And of course, you know, we
talked about him months ago, this is the UT of Austin
professor who taught us about performative. And so there's an
article in the Wall Street Journal, and it's an you know,
you think it's about this book in the performative but then it
very slowly moves into this outfit that Missy, what's the
name of it here? Sorry, it turns out some some company that some
communication skills training company syntaxes, and that's
really what it's about. And whether that's a PR job or a
paid for whatever it is, they miss used editorial to flow you
into this, this organisation. And that, to me is like, I felt
that was an advertisement. I can't I can't say for sure, but
I think it was yeah, I really think it was
we've seen a lot of these things. We try to pull them when
we see them. And then you know, in some cases, you can kind of
guess, who paid for this spot. And sometimes it'd be seems like
a regular report, then you somehow or other you realise it
may have been paid for. But if it's really well done, you don't
know for sure. That's the really great native advertising and
that's what's actually dangerous. I have one example of
that here. Which is I don't know if this was paid for by anybody.
There is a prominent name that comes up, which indicates it
might be but I have no idea if this is a legitimate report if
it was a video press release or what it was. But you can play
this clip. It's a blow for Honda story. Okay.
A blow for Honda. Today's consumer report says it can no
longer recommend the Honda Fit after it place last on a crash
test test looks at how well cars hold up when they hit a wall on
the driver's side at 40 miles an hour. The Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety says the structure of the fit car
collapsed around the driver. The steering wheel moved and the
driver's head hit the instrument panel. In addition to the Honda
Fit five other so called mini car cars rated poor on the crash
test. The Fiat 500 500. The Hyundai Accent Toyota Prius C,
the Nissan Versa, the Mitsubishi Mirage, the Chevrolet Spark was
the only small car to receive and acceptable, right.
Well, yes, we know that Chevrolet has immediate buy, in
fact, how do we know that because I'm doing voiceovers for
them. I'm auditioning. So yeah, Chevrolet is spending money. So
I would say yes.
It was it was well done enough, though that except I did think
that was kind of the giveaway it looks like to me like it was
native advertising was they had the at the end of the when they
punch the the punch line with the Chevy got away without
getting a bad rank. They had a car. They had a B roll of the
little car bouncing around.
But I think that to me still, John, I think the difference and
where it matters to us is the direct access to the systems. So
you're in the publishing system of the New York Times. It's a
little different than something on television.
Yeah, yeah, but those I think native ads on television are
probably in some ways if they're done well or more sinister
because they really you can't really it's not. Yeah, that's
true. You can't just drop one and you have to rent you got to
get them to buy, what is
that product placement? Or you know what I think that's
what that's about. And I think it's I think it's I think it's
slightly sinister, I'm happy. I don't think it's anything worse
than this not TiVo thing. If you look at that website, they got
they essentially, they got a video API for the New York
Times, and you can and they give you a what's called an editorial
well, and that is wide open. Here, they got it open for you
to put your your article in.
Let me see if I can play this video. I don't know if if
Shockwave Flash is going to be
this is one of the reasons that I think people really have to
think about this, this show and what we're doing. Because you're
not get you're getting so much crap from everybody.
The first truly scalable and automated native advertising
platform, allowing the instant distribution of branded content
across any site type all automatically matched to be
native to each publication. Here's how it works. This is a
piece of T Mobile branded content ready to be placed on
sites that are contextually relevant. All we do is click
play. And the native ad is then automatically placed directly
into the content well.
Okay, was that it?
preview images, headline links, and layouts are all made native
in real time, content is consumed on each publication,
and metrics, like time on content sharing, and other
analytics are all tracked. And all of this works simultaneously
across mobile, tablet and desktop. Marketers can now
easily buy native ads at scale across 1000s of publications,
while driving five to 20 times the response rates plus the
deeper engagement of content, once content is added than a
TiVo technology will automatically determine
contextually relevant placements, and optimise them in
real time. A B, headline testing third party tracking and
retargeting is all built in,
you know? Um, so there's a couple of things I'm not
against. I very much like what Red Bull does. I think those
guys are smart. Red Bull. Red Bull. They know Red Bull. Yeah,
they create content with the Red Bull Air Race. That's different
than what we're taught. No, I know. I know. But I think that
is where they should be headed. And all this other stuff is,
this is bull crap.
Well, it's a lot of wheel spinning. Now the key word here
and the reason that you you brought the TV thing versus this
this and is that generally speaking, native advertising was
always done like that little Chevy thing. It was done on a
one onesies basis. Yeah. And that's why this company into
TiVo came up because they say they can do it to scale, which
is why they have this automated system that pops right so you
come up with your T mobile ad or article about how great T Mobile
is. Because they get satisfied customers
worse they show it was a story about a guy surfing. Yes, but
it's all brought to you by i think it's they're kind of doing
this is what's so dumb about it. They're making content, they're
they're hiring people to create content that then they attach T
mobile's name to and this is kind of what they what they've
always wanted to do is have stories that they that are that
they think fit their audience demographics. So the I guess the
typical T Mobile Subscriber will be interested in in surfing and,
and hot babes and guys, and whatever. Yeah. And they, they
slide the T Mobile message all over it, because they they're
sick and tired of dealing with publications, and getting them
to write something that they want to be a part of. So it's,
it's, you know, I'm happy with it. Because let Everyone's
tired of dealing with publications that here's what
we're always reminds me of. It's the I'm, during my heyday as a
writer, which is
long gone. Many, many moons ago, the
internet screwed me. Yeah. So you'd go out and you'd have, you
know, you'd be have a meeting with some public relations,
woman and maybe some buddies get two or three people together.
And she'd pitch you to Yeah. So what do you do who you're
working with? Nash's? I'm working with the ABC accounting
company. And we're trying to get some articles written about how
great our accounting software is, right? And I would say, this
is like, the boring is thing ever. I can't write about this,
because I just lose my readers. I can't bore them. And I would
do I would actually say this, by the way. I can't bore them stiff
with a crappy accounting company's story. And you wonder
why your writing hay days are behind you.
And so I would say I would just expect and she knew this, by the
way, they always knew this. And now they got this opportunity to
screw it. We don't have to get some dumb screwball, like the
Vortech to write about our accounting company, because
we'll just go through this system, write about it ourselves
and how great it is. And that's why all these publications are
dying. Nobody wants to read this stuff, you know, It's just all
garbage.
Well, yes and no, because I'm a student of this and I look at
what BuzzFeed specifically is doing. And they are, they are
really creating content for the masses of morons. They really
are. And it's, and I have to say they're doing an outstanding
job. And it's always six things about five things you've never
seen 10 things of this. It's lists, people love lists, and
it's dumb stuff and putting celebrities and it's good to go.
No, I see those things. I don't know how long this is gonna
last. But those teasers and there's a bunch of operations
that run these things that are on the bottom of almost every
webpage now it's like some crazy teaser to be the one food you
didn't know rule kill you. Yes, exactly. You know, those things?
Those kinds of little? And yes, you always everyone's Well,
there's one Yeah, I got to see what this you click on it, it's
always a disappointment. It never tells you what you want to
know. It's just bullcrap. These are all teasers. These are a
bunch of teasing a holes. And I have nothing good to say about
it. It's funny, because I've gotten to the point where, you
know, with the research that we do, and we figure stuff out, and
and sometimes I'm, I'm I actually walk into the office,
and I think I'm going to write a blog post about this. And I
think now, now, that medium no longer works, you can't get
someone to read more than five paragraphs of information, which
is why I like doing the show, because people are trapped in
their cars in the subway, wherever they got nothing better
to do. And then we can explain it to them, and they can look at
stuff
this is true, we actually do have something of a captive
audience. Although there are volunteer captives, the ones
that are in the gym, are the ones that do house work around
the house, and they clean up and they keep their they got a pot,
you know, the iPod or whatever.
And, and apparently, we have an uncanny amount of accountants
and auditors listening to the show. Did you notice this? After
we talked about banking, I have not Oh, my gosh, I got I must
have gotten 30 different emails from highly qualified
accountants and auditors, talking about double entry
bookkeeping, how you can, how you can scan how banks work?
Well, the bank, there is settlements. And a lot of people
talked about that, but also that the and this is really the
fractional banking thing is what we forgot to talk about. Right?
So you know, the bank's balance sheet, you really need to have
as less these days, I think, but 10% of the money that you had
that you can provide in loans you only really have to have in
cash. But it was just interesting to see how many
highly qualified people in the field of accounting and
auditing, listen to the show. And whatever happened, by the
way,
they listen to the show, are they listening to why they do
the bike sync? So I think that they listening to it over lunch?
Are they listening to me? If they're commuters it makes let
us know
they will let us know when whatever happened to the good
old public service announcements.
Next, and international public service announcements by the
United States government.
The Rewards for Justice programme is offering a reward
of up to $10 million for information leading to the
arrest or conviction of any individual responsible for the
September 11 2012 Benghazi attacks. The US guarantees that
all reports will be investigated, and the identity
of all informants will be kept confidential. If you have such
information, contact the regional security office at the
nearest US embassy and the tip line at www dot rewards for
justice.net or email information to our F j@state.gov.
That was an international public service announcement by the
United States government.
That's that's real by the way. That aired on Voice of America.
Wow, what a crappy PSA.
No, no,
we could do PSAs
I think we've talked about this in the past. Yeah, I think we
had another fine idea that went another fine idea
that will never do.
Oh, man, thanks. You
know, people don't know this. But these you see this all the
time. There's a couple of them floating around and local radio
and I keep hearing them over and over I get really annoyed. But a
PSA. There's in the olden days of radio, there used to be a
couple of different kinds of PSAs most of them came in as
printed. And that you would get a
you would read it you would read the PSA and record.
Yeah, it would be a sheet and said PSA. And the you send them
out. They were like press release. You just send them out
to all the news, all the local specialty
they were from the American way. Remember that?
I don't remember any I'd be honest about it. But I do
remember the basic format which was there all capital letters
are double spaced, and they every line was supposed to
represent one second of reading And so you have so X number of
lines and then it was little time at the bottom and said you
know 20 seconds. PSA 30 cents a day sometimes you get three or
four you get a you get a 15 second or a 22nd version and a
32nd version and there were a long one and they would go out
that way and then they came up with the idea which seemed
logical to do it's easier now which is they haven't pre
recorded they come in on a tape but I think it's a lost art. Oh
dude,
this whole show was a lost art man. What are you talking about?
No video just Theatre of the mind two guys talking jingles
giving you a vibe to you. We're putting you into this that's
it's all a lost our DJs who used to choose songs on the radio
lost art now now. Enjoy your Spotify and your Pandora. You
don't know what you're missing out on but it's a lost art. He
will come back it'll boomerang back. Eventually, it all
everything comes back.
Well, a lot of people do listen to podcasts. This is true. And
podcasts are mostly you know, they're not necessarily. They
don't put as much effort into research that we as we do. But
there's generally a bunch of guys chatting if the guys are
interesting. You'll listen. Yeah.
Yeah, I listened to a few, very few, but I listened to a few by
the way. Yeah, devo is on and proof that Devo is, as
completely jumped the shark.
You mean Davos,
Davao, they have the young global leaders. Guess who was a
young global leader this year? Scoble. I think he was last
year.
That was a couple of years ago Scoble was Randi Zuckerberg. Ah,
Randi Zuckerberg. She's like a failed producer of weddings.
Reality shows
weddings. That she that she has a Zuckerberg media. I think she
produces weddings or something.
Weddings? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty bad.
A quick note, Blake says, Yeah, I know. You guys don't have a
great history of finishing books. But how about doing the
2030 survival guide? We can crowdsource each chapter section
from the no agenda community. Well, I don't know about
crowdsourcing. We have no, no good luck with that. But the
2030 2030 survival guide, this is for the 2030 club.com By the
way, which I'm still maintaining. I've still have not
done the centre black read thing.
Take your time.
Well, do you have the 2030 donation level yet?
I haven't figured it out. Probably $20.30. I don't know.
Okay.
And let me see. I have some stuff. Maybe say for that. Do we
have anything about Kia? Briefly?
IKEA?
No. Kyiv. Here value Ukraine.
Oh, yeah. I have a short Ukraine report. It says Ukraine. Okay.
Oh, good. Yeah, see it here. Let
me see. fires broke out today, in the midst of protests in
Ukraine. The situation is increasingly volatile. And for
the first time in four months of demonstrations, at least two
protesters were killed by police. demonstrators are angry
that the Ukrainian government decided to forge ties with
Moscow rather than the European Union. One opposition leader
today issued an ultimatum to the government to call snap
elections. Or he says he would lead an attack in the capital of
camp.
Yeah, this is this is pretty much an F Russia. thing that's
going on. And I caught dug well back maybe two weeks ago. There
were some congressional hearings and Victoria Nuland, who used to
be the spokes hole for the Department of State now as an
assistant. Now she's she Deputy Secretary of State, I think
or something. Yeah, she testified
these events included the violent action by security
forces against my Don protesters on November 30. The lack of
government accountability that followed that the second attempt
to use security forces to shut down the Maidan in the wee hours
of December 11. An evening that EU High Representative Cathy
Ashton and I were both in Ukraine,
by the way, and Kathy, Kathy and I were both in Ukraine
and finally the Ukrainian government's decision to accept
$15 billion in Russian bailout money. The Ukrainians bailout
money tell us that over those weeks, the movement that started
as a demand for a European future grew into a protest for
basic human dignity and justice.
Whenever you hear these words, and now of course, there's all
just like Turkey, they now have draconian internet laws,
draconian whenever you see that it's time for the internet in
the suitcase, and we're good trying to start another Facebook
war for clean
and accountable government and economic and political
independence of Ukraine. So why does the United States have an
interest in how this turns out?
Yeah. Why do we have an interest in that? I mean, why, I mean, do
you think it could be to stop Russian gas going to Europe so
we can provide it what more could be what is the American
interest for her to be in Kyiv handing out pretzels to
everybody and testifying and spending money and being there
with High Representative Cathy Ashton, what could that be? Our
chairman
and ranking member have spoken to that? It's because countries
that live freely and independently, respect the rule
of law are more stable, and they make better partners for the
United States.
Oh, yes. That's it because of democracy. It's better, it's
better for the world. The unicorns can't fly with. It's
not stable.
The same principles and values that Ukrainians are fighting for
are the cornerstone of all free democracies. And America
supports these values in every country on the planet. Oh,
yeah. That's even funnier. I hadn't even heard that.
The Euro Maidan protesters, students, workers, pensioners,
priests, entrepreneurs, business moguls and pop stars are all
calling for the same basic rights that we hold dear here in
the United States. They want to live in a country where their
government truly represents the wishes of the people, and where
they can safely exercise their rights without fear of
oppression.
So that $15 billion of bailout money, as she says from Russia,
it just paled in comparison to the 1 billion that the European
Union was offering. That's it. And I don't understand why
anyone would want to be a part of the European Monetary system
right now. That would that would make no sense to me.
The whole thing doesn't make sense. We do have one of our
producers sent me a note talking about one of his buddies.
Working on this, apparently we're setting up Nacht along the
Gulf Coast. And I guess the East Coast, we're setting up a number
of natural gas terminals, designed to fill these big boats
up to export.
There's Virginia I think, is one of course, Texas, there's a
number of them. And I, I think I might have received the same
email, it sounded to me like those things are being built as
if everyone knows the TPP is going to happen. Yeah, it's a
done deal. Do you think we just and this will be my last
question, I don't want this. It's kind of nice. Just to talk
a little bit. And that's been kind of cool. Maybe there's, you
know, you know, how we're so good at going into countries and
stirring up a ruckus where there are NGOs, and you know, we get
people to start posting things on Facebook and tweeting about
how horrible it all is. Is it possible that you know, because
once again, we got another chapter of the TPP, leaked
through WikiLeaks. And I think we both have our questions about
WikiLeaks. Is it possible that maybe Russia is behind the
incredible outrage over the TPP here in America, which is pretty
much based on no unknown information? But do you think
it's Russia?
Who is who is who is the most who's the greatest beneficiary
of of the outrage? Yeah, Russia, there's nobody else, not the
nuclear guys is not the it's not the oil guys is not, you know,
there's only one.
So that would mean fire mentalists they
can't they you know, they make a big they make, they're usually
used instead of they're not really creating anything,
I find it so interesting when I read these, lots of blog posts,
and it's very comparable to nuclear fear about the TPP. I
see people that's going to hurt us jobs, intellectual property,
and I see no factual basis for that I read whatever comes out,
I read there for so there's no decisions, but it's all it's all
just, it's gonna be horrible. And look at NAFTA, which is
something completely different. And I'm just like, where do you
get in this role,
it'll come out in the wash. But talking about these protests
before we get away from that too much. There's a weird
phenomenon. And I think that I, when I got this clip, I get it
from Van cat, when I got this clip, I think is one of the most
I don't know I think it's one of the most important clips I've
ever gotten, not because of what was actually being said here.
But the possibility that this is going to this is not just some
isolated situation. This is about the we know that there's a
bunch of crap going on in Thailand. But the way it's
being infected, you can't even walk two people at a time now
and there's all kinds of
but the way it's conium there's there's this weird element that
is that was exposed by Van cat that is very disconcerting, but
I actually think it's an important change in the way
things work in terms of how do you get you know, these kids,
these millennials to actually get jacked up about stuff. play
this clip Thailand fashionable protests.
In Bangkok, anti government protests sometimes look more
like catwalk shows on social networks. Young fashionistas
show off in photos during gatherings, often wearing blue
white and read the colours of the national flag, and a
Facebook page more resembling a beauty contest is entirely
dedicated to the protests most beautiful woman, despite the
violence taking part in the protest against Prime Minister
Yingluck Shin what has become fashionable among the country's
upper classes. Numerous celebrities such as actor
Jacques baronial, attend protests and pose for photos
with the movements leaders, model Martini Kim Payam openly
expresses her political involvement and has posed to
advertise their designer t shirt created to support the
protesters. A fashion on which specialised magazines are
surfing, just like image magazine, which in recent weeks
has published a series of pictures on the theme of
glamorous protesters offering advice to readers on ways to
protest in style, and industrial players are clearly not being
left out. Several designers have launched clothing ranges sold in
the surroundings of places occupied by protesters.
Meanwhile, a television channel supporting the movement has
opted to tap into the Western market which has become the
symbol of the anti government revolt with a gold version sold
for 100,000 baht for 2000 euros
this is kind of blowing my mind
though the whistles $2,000 Gold whistles cuz you know this is
one of those protests like I've seen this I saw it in Spain some
years ago where they you know, everyone's got a whistle, a
police whistle and they're blowing and making a racket. So
now there is a fashionable whistle that sells for $2,000
and the whole thing this is the weirdest story I think I've
caught for I don't know months on end this is like the
strangest phenomenon
well there is a huge disparity in the people who are protesting
in Thailand and the the wealth that surrounds the country and
so maybe that's just just the way to have fun with your
buddies. Get the right colour t shirt and get the whistle if
anything we should be selling whistle we've talked about
whistles
