Well, I see the fat lady has done so hit it. Adam curry John
C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday February 27 2014 time you get my nation media
assassination episode five nine.
This is no agenda wishing I
was wealthy and well connected here and femur region six of the
travellers high tide out in Austin, Texas in the morning
everybody. I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley where I am reading tweets in
anticipation of show 600 I'm John C. Dvorak. Yay. Yeah.
And Eric Holder is in the hospital.
What was he doing in the hospital?
They he was feeling faint and had trouble breathing Yeah, it
happens. Interesting. I don't know. I don't know if it's
interesting is breaking
anything else about Eric Holder in the news and I can't remember
well, yeah,
he's a dick.
Besides being
was that what he was about him in the news? He's a total
douche.
Something I can't remember what it was. Oh, well. Hey,
I did my dentist thing.
Are you okay? Tell Tell all Oh my goodness.
This was a you know, this is my year I've been saving up to fix
my teeth and this will be the last time I have to do anything
ever looked at that there would need fixing?
Um, yeah, they do. But this isn't this is this is my pride,
my 50th birthday present to myself is going to make them all
pretty and then I don't have to do much until I die. And so the
dentist here who knew we had this plan? We're working on it.
The technology of dentistry is pretty is even though the
dentist dental medicine itself is still kind of mediaeval. The
technology is pretty outrageous these days. I mean, got they
could they can print their their own crowns in the office, you
know, 3d printing stuff. Made of zirconia, which is
indestructible. Have you ever had a dental dam put on?
No, I don't think so. What is it?
It's a dental dam that I kind of liked it actually. Although when
when they put it when they started strapping a piece of
rubber on over your mouth and then cutting a hole just for the
area they're going to be working on. You know that there's
something real going down. This is not your recognise. It's like
Do you remember when there were vaginal dams for or oral sex?
No, I don't remember that either. And they never really
caught on trust me. Want to use those? I'll risk our risk of
disease. Screw it.
No, you're gonna get me going. Nevermind. Let's Yeah, really?
Can you your story?
Well, no, it was just it was it was there was three hours of
basically surgery. Yeah, it was too long. And at one point I
could see. So the assistant by the way, this is why it felt so
good about. So they numb me up. And you know, it's not good when
they put you up right after shooting all this lidocaine in
your mouth. And there's Oh, just wait here for 15 minutes. Now
you know that they're waiting for half your head to be an
exercise. And so I'm chatting with the assistant. And yeah,
what did you do before? You were doing this? Before you got into
dentistry?
You asked the question. Yeah. And it didn't sound like rude.
A little bit. No, it did sound a little bit like that. I said,
Wait, wait, wait, don't tell me professional sports. He said no.
Dancing. I'm like, oh, ballroom. She said no. But you were a
stripper? Yeah. For 13 years.
The dental assists. Yeah. Yeah.
I like this is gonna be a great session. I can't look at you any
different. I just see you make me want to.
This is the sexiest in you. Yes. It is a woman who is trying to
make a normal living and now you see her as a stripper. ashamed
of yourself? Yeah. And you admit it on the air? Absolutely.
Absolutely. Anyway, so just the technology part and I'll shut up
about it. So at a certain point, I see them both. I
think she should have flashed, you know, man,
would that have been awesome. She was really nice. You'd like
put her her hand on my throat when I was feeling a little tan.
She knows. He was fantastic. I've heard about that. Even if
it wasn't true, it made the whole thing great. I was happy.
But at a certain point I see both their eyes are wide and
they're looking at each other. Like what's going on? Yeah, we
got a little bleeding here. That's not stopping. I have
okay. And then near the road and they're whispering like yeah,
get the probe. Like what? And then she's like, bend him over
actually like, move his back up, move his back or whatever. And
then she puts a metal plate under my back. And then the the
probe is literally electrocuting your gums to search for them
closed and electricity is going through my body. Technology is
terrible. Anyway, so it's all much better much better.
Sounds like a comedy.
It'll play ground
ground. Exactly. It's the grounding plate. Okay,
this up is button brown disaster.
Oh, wow. Anyway, but she's she's a lesbian
lot of strippers but that's sick of it. That's
exactly what exactly what she said. She said, Yeah, I'm so
sick so sick of men. Anyway, then I found that out by saying
hey, you should come to spin class with me. Lots of cute
chicks. He went Oh, Rosa won't like it. Oh, yes.
Oh, Sybil like it.
Anyway, big show today, man. What a what a what a lot of
stuff happening. A lot of stuff happening.
Yeah, a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff. So the Crimea things
going as expected.
Yeah. And you call that and you were the you were the first one
to talk about it. And you look at Crimea, it is kind of like a
little ball sack appendage hanging off Ukraine down there.
And that craft shouldn't be there. It shouldn't. It
shouldn't be there. Well, I
mean it. Yeah. It should be. It's Russia. Yeah.
Basically. Have you learned much about well, maybe I should just
say what are you learning? I've learned a few things about about
what's what's been going on in the past.
Well, a guy like is this is his bald guy from RT. I'm not and
I'm sorry, not RT but van cat. He's a French guy. He's the one
to turn got me in doesn't start to look at Crimea. He is a funny
looking guy. He is a real foreign correspondent. He's not
a pretty boy who hangs out in Moscow and pretends to be
someplace else. And he has a report on what's going on in
Crimea. Doug Herbert is a guy this guy we should I'm going to
follow. And I have two clips. Somewhere.
Yeah, I've got Crimea report. Part one would just be Crimea
report.
Part one, it will catch up based on what the French are seeing
because he's got a lot of little tidbits and anecdotes, which
contradict a lot of what everybody else is reporting. Oh,
good. Doug.
You're in the capital of Crimea that says sim Farrell, Paul. And
this is where we can expect further bloodshed.
I won't go so far to say bloodshed yet a roar. Let's hope
not, at least. But you know, when John Kerry says that this
is not about a struggle, a battle between East and West,
there are quite a few people here who would disagree with
that they think it very much is a struggle. And when you speak
of separatists threats these days and those fears of
provinces and territories breaking away from the central
power, and this is exactly the type of place that people are
looking at in fear that that could happen. I'm standing
actually in front of what is the regional Crimean parliament here
in the capital of Crimea, semper Opal. Now, this is obviously a
region it is majority Russian speakers. But 60% of the
population out of 2 million are Russians. Yes, there's a sizable
minority of Ukrainians. There's also Crimean Tatars, but most
are Russians. And yesterday, we actually saw the Russian flag,
there were a lot of reports of the Russian flag being raised
above this parliament building. Now, that wasn't true. It wasn't
on the roof of the building itself. This morning Ukrainian
flag is still very much flying on the roof of this building.
But the Russian flag was briefly raised right over the letters
that you see behind me on this building. And it was done by
obviously some groups that are very upset with what they see
happening in Kyiv. I may note that in just a little a short
while time, they're going to be beginning a session of
parliament here where the lawmakers are going to be trying
to basically overthrow the current local government here
why because these are people that they see as being too close
to the new government in Kia feel they are people that they
do not feel protect the Russian interests here. And that is the
big issue because the Russians, I'm speaking about both Russian
speakers but also Russians living here who have Russian
passports, they are looking at what's going on and they feel
slightly exposed unprotected and they want Russia actually to
come help them.
I take a little exception with some of what he's saying here
though. Know the well about the language. I mean, people in
Poland speak or at least can get by on Russian Ukrainian. You
know, it's the it's not so much Oh, they speak Russian therefore
they belong to Russia. I'm not
a little. We have a lot of feet on the ground that have told us
that people just Russian Well, it's also
very much like Israel, and everyone speaks it's multiple
dialects of Arabic and it's not quite.
I don't think he made the point.
He repeated that a lot. He repeated that a lot. I hear that
a lot now to oh, this is Russian speakers. They don't want to
belong to this part. I've been looking at the financials.
Because you know the thing you never get in, in the newspaper
or on on the TV is, you know, okay, so we hear all the the
economy is wrecked, you know, what does that mean? What
exactly does what exactly is going on? And so I did some
research. And it looks like there's $66 billion of external
debt Ukraine has that will be maturing this year. And that has
to, of course, it has to be rolled over, there's no way
that's going to be repaid. But the real exposure is, is the
Russian banks, which is why I'm thinking when I heard Lavrov
talk talking, you know, I got a little clip here, of course,
it's translated because unlike everyone in Ukraine, we don't
speak Russian. It sounds I'm not so sure that they're against all
of this. But
we confirmed our principal position of non interference in
Ukrainian domestic affairs. And we hope that everyone will
adhere to similar logic, and use the existing contacts with
various political forces in Ukraine, to calm the situation
down, but not to seek opportunistic one sided
advantages at a stage when national dialogue is necessary.
Because the three boots on the jello Look, II was rushed, we
agree with our Luxembourg partners that it is dangerous
and counterproductive to try and impose on Ukraine. A choice
based on the principle, either you are with us or against us.
Now, you've got a new rebirth of principle liberal Western
liberal approach, if we want to see Ukraine, part of the common
European family in every sense of the word,
the I think there may be something to that. So when they
say their Luxembourg partners, and that's one thing and one
thing only that's banks. That's all that's in Luxembourg is
banks $28 billion
rookie factory.
The exposure to Russian banks, specifically Gazprombank is $28
billion. There's they owe six, three and a half billion for gas
that Russia has provided, you know, I'm maybe there. Maybe
it's as simple as that Russia really first is kind of like a
paper tiger. Really, I've had this feeling before that. I
don't know if they really have the might you have sure
everyone's got missiles, but this is not a missile issue. But
maybe they just want to get whatever they can get, oh,
you're gonna put your foot you're gonna give a billion
dollars. Right off the bat. If you join the EU. Fine, we'll
take that. Oh, you're going to take some IMF loans? Fine, we'll
take that. We'll take that we'll take whatever we can get. We
just want our money back.
Well, it would be better. I mean, from this perspective. And
yeah, I don't see that the Russians are running around like
chickens with their heads cut off over this anyway.
No, and there's a lot a lot of people say, Oh, they're getting
ready they're gonna invade. I'm
gonna play the invade. Thing is part two of the Chromium thing
with Doug Herbert again, discusses the the suppose it
activity at the border, kind of just, he says, as you know, as
possible, but play that part.
Now. There are reports that near the Black Sea in Crimea, there's
a growing military or Russian presence,
yet Listen, or Sevastopol, which is not to be confused with where
I am Semperoper, which is the capital is the base of the
Russian Black Sea Fleet. And I may note that the Russian ships
there are alongside Ukrainian ships as well. They've been
based there for decades, and Sevastopol has been a real
flashpoint of attention as well, because it's one of the first
places that Russia would look to obviously protect because it has
military hardware there. Now, there were lots of reports in
the past 24 hours, we saw across the blogosphere and Twitter,
reports of Russian tanks and more Marines being deployed to
the region. Now, some of the people here will say Don't
exaggerate, what you're seeing is one, a lot of the troops and
military hardware is also coming back from the Olympic Games in
Sochi, which is not far away. It's just on the other side of
the Black Sea. So some of that presence is normal. And they
also point out look, Russian military hardware has been
present in Sevastopol on that black sea port for decades. So
it's natural, you're gonna see some Russian military hardware
that said, the Russians they're not about to send in troops, but
they might be wanting to make their presence felt might be
wanting to send a signal to the powers and key of, you know,
we're here as well. Don't forget us that I,
since the source is the blogosphere and Twitter, you got
to be a little sceptical about you know, about them getting
ready to,
ya know, what this report said? It's not it's just business as
usual around the area. And, you know, everyone's it's like, if
you were, especially if they were redeploying all the
bullcrap they had around Soshi which was lots and lots of
people, and they're just running them up. Have a railroad, you
know, near the longing to coast and back to where they came
from. I can see somebody taking a picture that and saying
they're headed to the, to the to Ukraine. Well, that would do
that if I was a guy with a camera and I took that picture,
I'm pretty sure that this is all about the money. This is I'm
well,
let's come back to this thought. Now. Let me What can I can
I can I read the brief statement from the White House that came
out this morning? Sure. It's just it's from it's not from the
it's from the press secretary. So it's not from the president
yet. So it hasn't escalated. But the United States strongly
supports Ukrainian leaders ongoing work to form an
inclusive multi party government to represent all the people of
Ukraine as they prepare for May elections and to restore order,
stability and unity to the country. As the process moves
forward, the United States again calls on all parties in Ukraine
and in the region to support reconciliation and the country's
return to political and economic health. And we'll work with the
international community in building an economic assistance
package based on Ukraine's achievements in crafting a unity
government. This is about getting the IMF in. That's all
but we already figured that out. Right? But but it's what let me
I'm just saying it's before they even say stop killing people.
It's a get your financial house in order.
The Russians are owed a bunch of money, especially Gazprom, yeah,
3 billion. Now they're gonna they're not gonna let them go
bankrupt. And Russians don't want to give them a they've
offered to give 15 billion somehow and loans and guarantees
and other things to the, but it's like these guys, they, you
know, they're, I don't know, it just seemed like, if they would
take it, and everything would be fine that the creepy old guy,
the guy that was running the place before could have stayed
in power, who knows, whatever the case, it would be better not
to do that you'd save $15 billion, you get the IMF and the
economic hitmen in there, which is what we're talking about
here. When the US says let's, we'll make it we'll make an
arrangement, right? So you make an arrangement and you get that
money, and then you pay off the Russians that are owed all this
money. Right. And you know, and you're still got your run on
the, you know, I unless, unless they go to the point of wanting
to join NATO or actually becoming a member of the EU, I
think the Russians are fine with with the famous and I think part
of the payments would mean keeping the gas pipelines in
place, which runs through the Ukraine, into Europe. And then
also now that the only variable here again, we go back to what's
her name, the old spokes hold for the State Department.
It's Newland Nuland, real name Nudelman. noodle is really Yes.
She changed her name. Her real name is Nudelman. Her name is
Nudelman. Yes, Victoria Nudelman. That she changed it to
new. Yeah, I have I have the that speech where she was at the
US Ukraine Foundation, where she says Chevron logo. It's not just
Chevron. I went back and looked at the video. It's Chevron on
the right side. It's Exxon Mobil on the left side. Yeah. And this
is where she just played because you mentioned where she talks
about Ken,
by the way before before you play B so people can keep their
ear out. We've gotten three notes so far, confirming that
your pronunciation is correct. Is correct. is key. Yes, Roman.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for being here and for your continued support for the
US Ukraine relationship. And thank you for the invitation to
speak to you today. Still jet lagged from my third trip in
five weeks to Ukraine. And my days in case
earlier this week, as she goes on to talk about you know how
happy she is and how they've put in $5 billion but this is the
interesting thing. This is the US Ukraine foundation you know
me and foundations John, I love go looking these guys up. Why is
she talking about the US Ukraine foundation who's in the US
Ukraine Foundation, and the usual suspects GE first why
don't you go to us ukraine.org And I'll tell you who the major
funders are. We gratefully acknowledge our major financial
supporters, Baker McKenzie and Baker McKenzie of course the
Chicago law firm run by the now IMF head. French woman whatever
name is the that one. The Coca Cola Company ExxonMobil Heritage
Foundation. Mary Kay Corporation gotta gotta bring some makeup to
those people.
That was girls
they needed Raytheon
system capital manager TNK BP, Ukraine, an American court
that's a whole bunch of other NGOs in here, The Washington
Times. Interesting.
That's interesting.
Hmm. Chevron, of course, in here, and who else is in here?
And there's a lot of individuals. But yeah, it's all
the usual subjects. Interestingly, looking at their
blonde in the red dress.
It's a huge elitist outfit. And the interestingly, they don't
have a lot of money, they got about a million dollars a year.
So um, yeah, it's just keeping it running drinking club where
they all sit around and needs a drinking club. But that's where
Nudelman comes into talk. I thought that was interesting
that she's, she's there. Did you see
run for someone else?
Well, it's yes, it's a front for the these companies. Of course
it is. Remember that. Chevron got a $10 billion exploration
fracking exploration contract. And this is only a couple months
before all this crap started. So I'm kind of thinking that
something may be up with that, like 10 billion, but maybe by
the time the governments change, maybe we forgot about it, or
maybe it's just a billion, or maybe we'll have the IMF pay it
off somehow and whatever, and we'll pay it directly to them.
Do you don't worry about it. I'm thinking that 10 billion is
never gonna get paid. Otherwise, why doesn't Chevron immediately,
you know, why aren't they on the hook? There, they're, you know,
it's a creditor. Um, what I have here I have I was gonna ask if
you saw carry watermelon had carry with the
short clip of him, which is part of a quiz. Oh, do we want to? I
have some clips onto the quiz first, or let's do this as
though this is the this is the one that Herbert mentioned. Hold
on a quiz. Yeah, I'm gonna get the quiz. I have a question to
ask you. Okay. You played the Kurt Carey clip. Okay. And is
there a prize for this quiz? Yeah,
this is not a zero sum game. It is not a west versus east. It
should not be. It is not Russia or the United States or other
choices. This is about the people of Ukraine. And
Ukrainians making their choice about their future. And we want
to work with Russia with other countries with everybody
available to make sure this is peaceful.
All right. And the question is,
what do you say?
This is a this is not east versus West. Let's all be
peaceful, and let's work with everybody and Kumbaya. I'd like
to buy the world a coke. Okay. Here he is saying a very similar
thing to Andrea Mitchell. Andrew Mitchell works for CNN. But of
course I
actually ever be succinct isn't really that difficult.
We're actually going to make fun of him to the nth degree with
these clips. He is insane. And I'm happy that we're paying
attention to him now because he is writing really good comedy
for us. The Andrea Mitchell is she's married to Greenspan, the
former central banker of the United States, so she's an
elitist, masquerading as a prostitute. And of course,
that's how she gets these high level interviews, which
obviously are quite scripted. And here's Jerry Jerry's. Here's
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry's new take
President Putin in a telephone conversation with President
Obama just the other day, committed to respect the
territorial integrity of Ukraine. And I think that's
incredibly important. It would be very difficult for me to
understand how Russia would reconcile its position on Libya,
its position on Syria, its warnings against the
intervention in another country, and then not respect the
sovereignty of Ukraine and the will of the people there.
I love how he's just turning it all around. We are you know, we
invaded Libya. We're, you know, we've sent terrorists into
Syria. Now, we're, you know, we are the ones that have
destabilised Ukraine, and he's turning it around and saying,
Hey, I can't believe Putin, you know, wouldn't like step back is
unbelievable.
So we're hoping that Russia will not see this as sort of a
continuation of the Cold War. We don't see it that way. We do not
believe this should be an east west, Russia, United States.
This is not rocky for now. There we go. A popular culture
reference. But now,
I think we'll call him now. It's Jerry,
Secretary of State Jerry, and he's going to Jerry, he's going
to finish this up with the with, of course, the true news,
believe me, believe me, believe me. She Yes, Jerry, I believe
you. We don't
see it that way. We see this as an opportunity for Russia, the
United States and others to strengthen Ukraine, help them in
this transition. And there's no reason that they can't look east
and west and be involved as a vital cog in the economy of all
of us going forward. And that's what our hope is that there's a
transition Government, that there are reforms put in place
and that the IMF becomes involved, and that the Ukrainian
people have an opportunity
to at the very end, it's Oh, yes. And the citizens Yeah. And
then you can come involve after we get the IMF in. But now but
now the irony of what he is about to say. And I wonder if he
if he even understands the irony of the words coming out of his
piehole when he talks about Yanaka Jana Cove Yanukovych his
lifestyle.
The key here is to give the people of Ukraine, the full
space within which to make their decisions about where they want
to go. That's what we're trying to do. We're not putting
pressure on them. We're not urging something that they
haven't themselves expressed as a desire. We are trying to
honour their intentions of putting together a democratic
pluralistic government that breaks away from this
kleptocracy that existed there. And now we're beginning to get
some insights on the lifestyle of Mr. Jana COVID. With his
multimillion dollar dining room and his yachts and the rest of
it, really.
Do you not have yachts? Jerry, do you not have a multimillion
dollar dining room? Somewhere? I mean, seriously, Jerry? Really,
really? Hello, kettle. This is the pot calling. I mean, does he
understand the irony of that he's sitting in a gilded room
doing this interview in the middle of a room with a hardwood
floor where the design study has no. Lab lab lab with a design in
the middle of it, please. Ah. There was this was a very
interesting and entertaining interview. And you want to hear
his bit about the North Korea
she didn't say something to him.
Oh, please. Because seriously, because he's not a journalist
Jerry
share kind of sounds like your lifestyle. You gotta you got a
bunch of matches are all country now. You have these huge fish
soirees and your million dollar dining room. How can you point
to
the Ionis they're sitting in the State Department in the middle
of one of those rooms where the President knows over done room
with a compass design like the New World Order i in the middle
of the floor. And it's just them with two chairs and a table and
the whole room is echoing it's actually appalling. It is
appalling for him to oh, we're getting we're seeing his yachts.
Oh, unlike your yachts, okay? Your yachts. Okay, his yachts
not kleptocracy. The kleptocracy is going on right in front of
our eyes here. Do you want to hear is just his moronic
statement about North Korea. I love listening to this. Now
Andrea Mitchell is going to set him up with a with a hilarious
little ditty, which is you know, this is all unconfirmed. These
are all of course knew about how horrible North Korea is and the
horrible things they have done. And while I don't doubt that, of
course, there's atrocities going on. Again, there's the the irony
of what they are accusing the North Koreans of is spectacular.
Let me ask you about North Korea because the event has exposed
for all to see the horrors of those death camps, the prison
camps in North Korea. These death
camps, of course are unconfirmed. This is this is
Trump's some statements, some interviews and they showed some
satellite picture and said yeah, this is where they were.
The Human Rights wing of the UN is taking it up in Geneva, a
former prison guard testified to the UN that he witnessed years
ago, dogs attacking five children. Two of these children
survived the attack by the dogs and were buried alive. How much
longer can this go on with China protecting its client in North
Korea, and the UN not recommending that the leaders of
North Korea be taken to the World Court.
Now this is very interesting, because again, you have to
remember that Andrea Mitchell is an elitist she is a part of the
the upper echelon. And for her to say first off she did World
Court not International Criminal Court. I don't know if that was
an oversight on her part or if that is what they really I don't
know what she means by that. Of course, the United States
doesn't recognise the International Criminal Court
because people like Jerry would be in it.
Oh, I have a our politicians would be so wish would be
so she so as a journalist, she is now saying China is
protecting their client, North Korea. How can we don't take all
these people to the World Court and lock them up
prosecuted if they could possibly be captured if we could
capture them?
Well, I think I think that
he'll come to light but what he's about to say is beautiful.
The aspect of that report is a huge human is a huge service to
all of us. And I applaud the report.
Great, good work. Good work. Thank you. We applaud the
report. The report good work, my friend North
Korea is one of the most closed and cruel places on earth he's
searching
for at four adjectives and cruel and cold places. And
there's no question about it, no question evil, evil that that is
taking place there that all of us want to be deeply and are
deeply concerned about concern and we are continuing to press
for action. All right, but let's hear it in the meantime, there
is no question no question at the level of depravity the level
of human rights violations they have conducted executions using
122 millimetre aircraft guns to obliterate people and force
people to watch these cuts of executions. Tom
sorry, unlike a second Yeah, unlike we're putting people to
death and watching them struggle for air for 20 minutes with some
x's go back to the reality of this. They are forcing people to
watch it how they get to be sitting around or did they bring
him into a stadium and then jet shoots these
120 10 millimetre that's the
case? Why are there any photos of this? I don't care how close
the society is nowadays. People sneak photos. I do this whole
thing. By the way. I still think harkens back to Abu Ghraib, that
prison that we had set the dogs on those guys, because this dog
meme is just getting on my nerves. I wouldn't have said
anything unless it shows up again. I agree. Setting the dogs
on it. We did that. By the way. The CIA Hayden and these guys,
we set the dogs on people. Meanwhile, now we accused this
guy of setting dogs on his uncle, which was a lie. And now
we have this new dog story know what
you know, John, it's as if it's just crazy. I have yet a third
dog story. From Samantha Power. The UN ambassador. She is
married to Cass Sunstein, who will be discussed later in this
programme. The she'll extraordinaire and she has three
dog anecdotes to one here it comes this is from Syria, we
have a new United Nations resolution. And even though what
she's talking about happened six months or was reported six
months ago as she felt it. Very important to put this in her
statement regarding this resolution the facts
in Syria that gave rise to this long overdue Council Resolution.
By the way, she sounds like my dental assistant
defy the imagination. As the Secretary General has recently
reported, unspeakable abuses are being committed against
children, including kidnapping, sexual violence, beatings with
whips, electric shocks, and imprisonment without cause
all of that you're right. All of that our grave, imprisonment,
whipping electric shocks to the genitals now let's get to the
dogs.
Meanwhile, 10s of 1000s of detainees including humanitarian
workers, journalists, medical personnel and children are being
held in miserable conditions and are subjected to torture, rape,
and other forms of intolerable abuse. And of course, Syrian
forces have encircled neighbourhoods and willfully
used starvation as a weapon of war. Right for it blocking food
deliveries and causing religious leaders in Ghouta. to issue a
chilling religious declaration,
what could that religious declaration be John, are you
ready?
Given the desperate situation? The religious leaders gave
Gupta's residents dispensation to eat cats and dogs in order to
survive cats and dogs?
There's your dog story. Cats and dogs. It's all about cats and
dogs. You know this this makes so much sense to me. Because we
as a people, mainly because of of the the mind control of
television have become desensitised to people being in
dire situations. So it doesn't work anymore. People don't just
the person who gives a crap. Oh, it's a dog
don't seem to have much effect anymore. I haven't been reminded
of the I thought a failed I thought it was interesting. But
if the failed attempt during was it the Egypt thing or was it the
Libyan thing? The Syrian I don't know who it was. I think it was
Libya where they had Qaddafi whoever gave the orders made the
soldiers take via Viagra. So they could re have to rake
because all what am I going to do with this thing?
This was Libya. Indeed. Libya, Libya. Yeah, that was part of of
getting the resolution. pushed through me it was like was it
1973 resolution 1973 and 1975 or whatever it was, part of it was
yeah, they they they're handing out Viagra so these guys can
rape me is like really
crazy so many things wrong with the idea that that that even the
assumption that someone would believe this tall tale was
actually disturbing. I found the whole that whole episode to be
quite quite like it really set me back in terms of my respect
for the ability of this country in particular to do proper
propagandising bull crap.
Now we got some, we've
lost our good people to WPP Omnicom. They've all gone to
work for the private sector because this was so stupid.
Yeah, of course, it was revealed to be bullcrap. Which is that,
you know, if you're gonna do a propaganda gimmick, you don't
make something so weird that it gets it gets rebutted, and then
you just look like an idiot. Now nobody believes anything you do.
I'm surprised no one has pulled the Chernobyl card on Ukraine.
Well, actually, that's interesting. So
how Chernobyl is only 144 kilometres north of Kyiv. How
come everyone's still alive? You think with Neil Fukushima in
comparison, everyone would be fried and have three heads and
stuff. So only 100 So the hour and a half drives
talk about this has been I guess on the list of things. On the
other the one list was just as mentioned dogs and especially
attacking kids and eating people. And then we eating them
Doggy Dog, or we dog named us. And then the other list that no
no's must be Chernobyl.
Yeah, don't talk ixnay on the NoNo list, you can't
talk about it. But when you think about it, Did you know In
any other case in the it would be something well, you know,
Chernobyl and everyone in in a wide range, you know, Han 1000s
of kilometres died of cancer and had
a surprise Tom Hartman hasn't got his little
Geiger counter
little guide rates there.
Exactly. The only thing I will say as from a strategic
standpoint, having the EU in charge of Kyiv, which is to the
east of the Carpathian Mountains, that is strategically
maybe doesn't matter anymore. Maybe that's, you know, only the
days of, of foot soldiers. But the Carpathian Mountains, were
kind of a natural buffer very much like the, what do we have
over there? To the east of,
of Georgia, or the Sierra Nevada is?
No, no, whatever they call them, that mountain range over there.
It's a very natural buffer zone for between the East and West
and now the West will technically be on the other side
of that.
Well, where they can't get away. No, that's right. They're
trapped.
They can't really go home. Good point. Good point that can't go
home.
I think you're right. This is um, this is a this soul is
behind the scenes here. There's a money thing going on. Yeah,
it's it's a great auction when they sell that guy's house off.
It's not even his house. It's the presidential palace. It's
not it's not his own house. I don't think
he's the one who decorated it. Oh, well. Yeah.
And so the Obamas decorate the White House. Everyone gets to
decorate their own presidential palace.
Well, let's sell us that's the auction. I bet big money. It's
like you know that they really blew it with the good with
Qaddafi because you know, they stole it you can't, you know,
this is this is all all his hats. He had those big giant
hats. I mean, I can imagine his son to be selling those things
for 1200 to $12,000 a pop.
I think at one point I remember I there was a silent auction. It
was an Elton John, Billie Jean King silent auction in Los
Angeles, MTV days. And I think I won. Michael Jackson's fedora
hat at the silent auction for two grand.
You spent two grand on it on a hat. Where's it now? Where's
that valuable hat?
Was Yeah, no, it was so I I bid on it. But it wasn't really my
money. It was my radio syndicators money and we had a
contest and the contest prize was the hat Michael Jackson's
hat. Yeah,
that probably could be worth something. Yeah. I think all
this stuff is crap.
I keep seeing this hat pop up around the I think there's a lot
of hats. And you know, and I'm also I'm always very sceptical
of these things. Yeah, that is his red jacket. I've seen that
auctioned off too many times to the from from beat it.
I have a Ferrari red Ferrari cap that's signed by Schumacher.
Oh, really? Yeah. Well, that's going to be worth a lot of money
if he doesn't come out with a minute, said it. Let's let's

Quick PR mentions. Sir J D in the morning gents quick mention
a report from our San Francisco meetup. This was the San
Francisco no agenda 2030 Cyber force meetup a smashing success
with a great mix of knights supporters, sceptics and new
recruits. But we'd like to have more information on that
actually. Where's the photos? nascent photos will be
forthcoming? Hmm.
And I'd gotten to that I wasn't invited. Yes. You've
even mentioned that. You dick. We mentioned it on the show.
It's not the same and then Jimmy V. Although we I'm trying to cut
back on these mentions, but it was too good. Is now forwarding
to no agenda. show.com the domain name George Clooney is a
spy George Clooney
is a spy.
Which I think is a nice domain name
is good. Yeah, man. You really should buy it from us.
He's currently he's dating the WikiLeaks lawyer. Yeah, I saw
the new wiki leaks Laura. I don't even know that. I've never
even seen this one. She's hot.
We've seen her you Oh no, this
was not I have never never seen this one. No,
no. Well, I think she's the one that was she's probably the one
because Assange his girlfriend ran off with Snowden. That's so
he decided to see if he can make her jealous with this this high.
Well, definitely Clooney thinks
that bastard Clooney comes in and takes and you know, he
doesn't even want her out. You know, he's gay. He's like,
really want, right? It's just it's an arm candy for the White
House. It tastes he does have good taste. All right, everybody
for red.org/thanks again to our executive producer and Associate
Executive producers, it is highly appreciated. These are
real credits. Unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will vouch for
you if you need anyone to tell these people that these credits
really are for producing an actual programme of media. And
please continue to propagate our formula.
Our formula is this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
fun an interesting new media trend,
a new trend, a new media portraying a Trent. Is it a meme
or a trend?
It's a predicted trend, okay. It's not a meme. It's because,
you know, when you watch a news show, and you do a remote,
you're the remote guy and I and you throw it back to the studio.
Yeah, but are you gonna throw it to me? First of all, I'm
just gonna go out. You're just finishing a report. Throw it to
me.
And that's it here on location in Austin, Texas. Adam curry W
NBC back to you in studio, John.
Now, at this point, I can say I can say usually I say thank you,
Adam. Great report. Yeah, well, okay. Well, nevermind. What I'm
noticing, I don't see as many thank yous. Really. Yeah. I see.
Mostly they either they either back announce who it was. That
that was Adam curry. Right.
Yeah. can ignore it, too. Well, I think the I've seen more
ignoring. But that's on more national scale. The local
national news tends to ignore Yes, local scale is still, you
know, they're calling
to thank you. That's the reason I had this little meme because
Scott Pelley is constantly thanking you thanking the
reporter. But he does it in such a way that you think the guy's
working for free.
I have thanks, too. And thanks. Three years there. Thanks, one.
Thanks. One is CBS. Thanks. Oh, gotcha.
Michelle Miller in Manhattan. Michelle, thanks very much.
Thanks.
Thanks very much. Yeah. Like, so you throw it back to me. And I'd
say, Adam curry, thanks very much, since we're not paying you
anything. I'm gonna give you a hearty thanks. Thanks. And I'll
see the other reporters. I don't see the other anchors doing
this. And I try to play another one. Charles Scott,
that could be later this summer. Bob, thanks very much today,
Simon.
Thanks very much. No, no, no, keep BC in this case, he's the
commander of the ship. You see, and he's the he doesn't have a
co anchor, like a local news report is just him and so he's
kind of the captain and He wants everyone to know that, you know,
hey, you're you're kind of a, you know, you're in my ship, or
your
doctor. Thanks very much. Thanks very much.
Well, that's what I'm gonna do with you.
Thanks very much, very
much. I'm just gonna say thanks very much that you
mentioned, the CO anchor thing is interesting, too, because
that actually harkens back to Huntley and Brinkley. I think
there were the first co anchors because the news in the 50s and
60s, you know, had been issued was evolving from Radio and
Radio was, you know, mostly reports from overseas. And then
they, when they came to TV, they needed somebody that could
coordinate all this stuff. And they never used two people. And
so it was a huge revolution, when they had two people that
could go back and forth. The only remnant of that is the PBS
NewsHour, and they're rarely the two people are there now they're
kind of on two separate desks and then sometimes you're at the
same desk. But then local news has stuck with this old formula
where there's two three and four people at the desk.
Well, you have to have your your two anchors and male female
obviously then you have to have your sports guy in your Wedeman
right that's it that is the formula and this has been going
on for decades if someone actually came in and changed it
up boy it would be an upset
but you all you anyone has the guts to change but it's
also necessary because these people make so little money that
you need to there's all fire one need to know there's always
going to be someone who doesn't feel good that morning. Well
then someone else then the weather guy can sit in there so
it's very it's a it's a funny untested form is stemmed
from two guys Huntley and Brinkley and you never see two
guys on locals either a guy in and a woman or two women.
I don't have it. Where's two women?
We get two women alive.
Oh, it's of course it's got was California. Ah, that was That
reminds me. Okay, you sent an email this morning. And I'm glad
you sent that because otherwise I wouldn't be able to set this.
This segment up properly. Let me see if I can find this. But I'm
just going to paraphrase it was about the someone who sent us a
thing about the gays in Uganda. And you You sent a you don't
usually reply to people certainly not in this length.
But I think the crux of what you said was I'm sick and tired of
gay news. Was that kind of what you said,
Well, no, I didn't say that. I but I I've said I'm sick and
tired of this dissociated Gay Agenda, not gay agenda, but gay
rights news in Africa and other places that when we did the gay
stuff about, we're not gay. So we can't we shouldn't be
reporting on the gays. I mean, I mentioned I didn't mention, but
I was gonna say that if you it's where it is really bad. When you
read a guy writing about technology, who knows nothing,
he always gets something wrong. And it's offensive to read it.
And I feel the same way about this. Right. But in this case,
people don't realise that when we were really dissecting this
gay thing going on in Sochi. It was because it had a political
agenda behind. It was an attempt to embarrass the Olympics,
embarrass Putin, it was a bunch of crap going around. And it had
nothing to do with you know, supporting gay marriage or
whatever. I don't know. Yes, whatever the case is, I don't
care about these gay stories in Africa because they don't have
any political connection to anything.
Ah, I found a I found I found I found by God, I gotta take you
through the process. How I found it.
Okay, so you found something that makes it actually relevant?
completely irrelevant. Okay. Now that's fine. All right. This guy
didn't have that he just had stories about gays
right. And this is and this is a broader This is not just Africa.
It and I and Mickey has actually asked me to do the full acronym
once again LGBTQ Q AP I have to do this because he I owe you.
Lesbian, Gay by curious bisexual, transgendered, queer,
questioning, intersex, asexual, Allied and pansexual. That is
the full acronym. And if you are not one of those, you are a
homophobe.
What is the what is the what was the last one again? It's allied?
None underlyings hands on sexual
pansexual are people who fall in love with other people
regardless of their sex? It's only about them. I know don't
please die? No. Don't even get me started. Okay. So the so the,
what we witnessed with Russia, I believe was a great test balloon
and the test balloon was to see if we could get the West United
States and certainly Europe all riled up about LGBTQ Qi a P and
gay basically gay rights. This is what it's all about. I don't
believe in gay rights. I believe in everyone's a human and I
should have just as many straight rights or hetero
flexible rights or whatever gay rights is bullshit to me. It's
just another thing I don't like I don't like that at all. It's
like hate crime. It's a crime. You know, I committed to climate
change
and we figured it I'd go on.
If I'm boring you already you know, you can go figure it
out for me. You're but you're you're trying to you're just
you're taking a dissociating. What seems like you got a trend
that you want to talk about. But now you're making excuses for
yourself. No, I want to hear about the story.
It's important because we always have new listeners and they need
to understand where we're coming from. So this started for me
with a an amazing new report. Only days after we had that
douche bag from the Southern Poverty Law Centre. Potok,
talking about how you know how the so many hate groups ever
since though a black man in the White House, everyone wants to
kill him. And now all of a sudden he's back. Now this is
suspicious to me. I'm like, wait a minute, he's back in the news.
And with a new story that hate groups are down 19%
die. And I tell you is the opposite of what he said it down
90%. And so I had to one week, all well, he needed to be in the
news. And it was this report. That led me to the next report
which led me to the what's really going on and how the gay
just gay is called everyone just this LGBTQ kid. You're all gay.
The gay community is being abused by the Democratic Party,
and I'm going to show you how this is happening. So first, we
got to listen to this report. And I think this might be with I
forget who was who was.
Let's first talk about the analysis here that you've seen
this reversal after and we've talked in the past. It seemed a
year after year. These numbers were ticking up after the
election of the first black president.
I love how she shifted. She even says it right Yeah, that's
Melissa Harris Perry, I think, by the way, who is black?
That's true. They weren't growing based very largely on
antipathy to Obama personally, and to what he really
represented, which was the demographic change that's going
on in this country. The coming over the next 30 years loss of a
white majority. The growth was absolutely spectacular for four
years. Great for business. But I think what really happened in
part was when the radical right saw Obama reelected, listen
very carefully to the words he's saying the radical right, so
Obama reelected
after so much effort on their part, as well as other forces in
the political arena, to kind of dethrone Obama. At this point,
their reaction was one of real deflation of dejection. They had
done everything they could they did not expect to see Obama
reelected. And yet he was and at the same time, of course, things
like same sex marriage are advancing very rapidly. And all
of that I think, is really dismaying to these groups.
In your report, you identify what you say is, quote, Patriot
extremist groups, how do you describe or define those groups?
Okay, so this is maybe this is starting to shape in your mind
what I was hearing you saying, Oh, it's down because the
radical right saw the reelection making the radical right I guess
a political politically minded. Also gays off they saw the gay
thing happening there were destroyed disheartened,
disheartened on the decline, though.
Now let's look to go into describe the run Yes. Who are
they to patriot
groups that is their own name. for themselves. patriot groups
are Christian patriot groups are Christian what we all used to
call militias. Back in the 1990s, they are a group that
they are a movement really that is unified mainly by a
conspiracy theory, the idea that the government is secretly
plotting to impose martial law to take Americans guns away from
them to throw anyone who resists into concentration camps that
have been built by FEMA secretly and ultimately to force the
United States into a kind of socialistic one world
government. Yes,
exactly. Okay. So that sounds like a lot of people by
the way. I liked the way he puts these together because the
minute because we have to we have people listening to the
news. Christian militia is like a term in and of itself. Thank
you, applies to the Africans.
Don't move too fast. I want to I want to get there you are, you
are almost there. But first, we have to go to the next gay news
story, which was of course SB 1062 in Arizona, another storm
in a teacup? I don't we don't even need to discuss what it was
about. Because it's been vetoed. It's not gonna happen but the
message was Arizona hates gays. What do you do? You got to bring
out the number one left wing gay guy we know who everybody loves,
by the way and as a part of Hollywood that can only doing
one guy Yes, you might guess. Ronald Reagan Jr. House so
close. Ah, it wasn't Nope. George Takei of
Ronald Reagan Jr. would have been better No
no, because to Kai Ki. is the one that clued me into what's
really going on here comes George Takei joins me here in
the studio this by the way is Ronan
Farrow Ronan Farrow is gay.
Hello Ronan Farrow know that no I don't know if he's gay but
this is Ronan Farrow his show. This is just like him. He's new
MSN he's pretty boy by the way. His new MSNBC show he couldn't
tell you know, Frank Sinatra was his dad. Why it's so obvious.
Yeah. Can you break the ugly? Ugly Woody? Woody Harrelson
woody Woody? Okay, please. Oh,
thank you so much for coming in. Sir.
Thank you for this invitation. And congratulations on your new
show. Thank you so much. I'm a big fan of yours.
And this was a letter big fan is Hollywood big fan. Big fan
that moved a lot of people. Tell me how you felt when you read
the language of this bill, which contemplates essentially kicking
yourself and your partner out of places with my husband, your
wife, my husband, what was the reaction that you had?
It was first of all, it was absolute astonishment. And then
my blood started to boil. And we you know, we love Arizona. We
have many, many friends there. Brad was born in Phoenix,
Arizona. We have relatives there and a beautiful state and how
can a state like that pass something this ugly? The both
houses of the legislature passed it and it's filled with right
wing extremist religious Republicans.
There you go. Finally. Okay. George, thank you for pointing
it out. Christian, religious right wing Republicans. Now we
go to Africa. And this is what I've been waiting for. And we
find the movie The documentary, which of course I don't I have
to tell you who paid for this. It is the usual suspects.
They're all in there all the NGOs. It's called God Loves
Uganda. And I'm just going to play a little bit of the trailer
and you'll hear what is going on here.
Something frightening, is happening in Uganda. I foresee a
lot of death. The fire has already been set. And I think it
is important to trace it back to where it is coming from.
So the fire has been set, it's important to trace it back.
Where's this gay hate in Uganda coming from
Linz national house of prep again, in 1999.
We have about 1000 full time staff.
We're called to be a missionary people. I believe that Lord is
calling me to pray for a great missionary force in America is
not yet done sending her sons and daughters to bring the
gospel to the nation's
most of these young people is a town club an adventure. But
African listening to think that's our thing should be
the Bible say okay, all sex outside of marriage is wrong. So
Adultery is wrong. Fornication is wrong acts of homosexuality.
Homosexuality does not benefit the society.
All right, so you can watch all that trailer on your own. But
what is being said, and what is now all is going to be all over
the news is that the fundamental Christians ie the crazy
Christian Republicans are responsible for all the gay hate
specifically the internal International House of Prayer
and Scott Lively. And Scott Lively is a tea party spokesman
he ran for governor of Massachusetts. He's the guy
who's challenging the president on on Uganda. They are holding
him up as responsible not just for Africa. He apparently also
went to Russia in 2007 and taught everybody that they need
to be against gays and the whole plan because believe me no one
in the government cares about you if you're gay. The whole
plan is for you to hate Republicans more that gun thing
didn't work out that well. The War on Women didn't work out
that well but hey, they want to kill gays in Africa because of a
Republican. Watch it I guarantee you it's it's the Arizona thing.
Oh it's crazy Christian religious Republicans who hate
gays it's Africa crazy Christian Republicans who hate hate gays
and they're in America the whole thing is against the Republican
party you are being misused once again
Yeah, that sounds that's a good analysis I like it I have some
more going on and allergens Alec Baldwin shiners have a hold on
Muslims have
Alec Baldwin is a part of a part of the scam John
did you read the essay?
That's why it's yes of course. Why he's I'm leaving public life
because people think I hate gays. This is this is all part
of it is he is a brilliant guy by the way. He's brilliant. He's
always always got some commercial angle. And I'm pretty
sure that this essay of Oh, I love gays I bet How can I be how
can people think I hate gays is just to point out that you know
you can hate gays are you will have to go away out of public
life. That's what his essay is about.
I liked that. That's your 10 pointer right there.
Thank you. And we can just wait for it. And again, people who
hate gays your Republican will be shunned now if you're a
Republican ya
know that I think you could I think it traces that's because
wrap it around let's make a circle out of this. The LGB q2 T
bla bla bla bla, like you said, Either you're one of them
or you're a Republican.
You're a Republican homophone. You don't want to be in that
camp of being a Republican notice there's no they've done a
great job of I mean, they use the guns not because they
weren't your speakers up
a little turn your speakers up. You're not hearing me when I'm
interjecting I know maybe I'm hearing you but I'm okay. I just
want to set your I just want to say there's no R and LGBTQ Q AP
Hmm. Coincidence? I think not.
I would say that I think you're onto something and it again, but
I think it's part of the bigger picture which we already
identified, which is the make the gun thing was designed to
get the women to to move over. Get them out of the Republican
Party. This is more designed to get you know, the I don't know
who who's gonna someone
was brilliant when they came up with a strategy.
That's a great strategy, but I don't know who's going to change
sides because of the strategy because I think they've already
moved everybody over. don't think there's a Republican left
tell you and Republican who now know it's all Theatre of the
mind it's just no one's going to know the difference it's just
it's now the the die has been cast the mould has been set. If
you're a Republican you hate gays done. That's it. You're if
you're a Republican, you must be a religious nut. This is every
John everywhere I go in this town. Whenever the term whenever
a Republican comes up, it's always equated certainly in
Texas with religious nut. Right? Always. Yeah. Religious gun
toting women hating because you know, we don't want women to
have control over their bodies. Religious crazy gay hating nut.
And a lot of the gays I know here are all Republicans
actually
but there's a lot of gay Republicans I see iron Yes, of
course, but that can't be discussed. Yeah, no, I think
they've done a great job of painting. Painting the
Republicans as all these negative things, and the
Republicans have done a piss poor job of countering it. Yeah.
piss poor
well, but there's almost a no win situation because wedding I
do know some of my best friends are LGBTQIA you can't do that.
That doesn't work do anything cancer is nothing to say this
done that they this is Doggy Dog they they have to discredit. But
no one cares about wiretapping. NSA. No one gives a crap about
that gays. We care about our gays here in America. Mickey is
laughing her ass off. She's the most homophobic country that
she's ever been in. America is now pretending to be the super
gay friendliest place on earth. It's like Disneyland for gays.
Now this is this is heresy.
All right. Well, I take it back. What I noted, my thinking was is
that the Ugandan news was, and it was presented to us as such
was just a distraction. But if it's part of a deeper scheme,
which is what you're thinking, which I would have to agree
with, because you have too much evidence, you've pounded me into
submission, as it were. No, I still think it's a useful tool
in Uganda because you just say that guy's gay, shoot him and
then you get rid of a political opponent. He did a poopoo. And
it's very easy to deal with but okay. Yeah, no, of course, I
will keep an eye on this. But I think the Republicans have been,
I've never seen anything quite like it, how poorly they've you
know, they bring it back to you know, economic things and stuff
like you they can't even do that now, because they've done such a
big hole of George Bush.
It's it I don't know is there even a headquarters for the
Republican Party doesn't even exist anymore. It makes it they
might as well just give it up, throw in the state
just give them good Obama finishes his eight years, he's
just hand the keys over to Hillary, why bother wasting
money on an election
and and this of course, is happening now. Because of the
midterm election. We have elections coming up in November,
we can't have Republic This is a desperate move, and they will
abuse anybody to keep control of or gain more control more power.
It's a desperate desperate move and you just going to see more
and more of this and and, and quite frankly, I'm astonished
that the religious community puts up Do you know how much
grief if we just discuss religion? If we just eat not
even giving our own opinion just discussing the options that are
out there? Oh, my gosh. There we go. Taking the Lord's name in
vain. The amount of emails I get you pissed me off when you are
tired when you don't think God could make this like please
people. You're fighting the wrong guy. You need to be
fighting the the Democrats who are vilifying anyone who
believes in God. Crazy Christian Right?
Because they are present wrong guys in their fight in our show.
It's ridiculous. I'd really it's it's disturbing. We have this
one
guy who keeps me I haven't heard from him for a while, um, but
he's like, religiously listens to the show. And then he never
donates. Never helps doesn't have any. Right, right. And he
sends a note in every about once every 60 days. I read, I would
reach I was about to donate.
And that's the route to donate. And then all of a sudden, Adam
it's always me by the way, it is always always me. But
your partner Adam curry once again, took the Lord's name in
vain. What you don't do by the way, and I always apologise I
mean, you swear and you spit venom, but you don't really use
the Lord's name in
vain. If I do then I apologise. you'd ever do
it now, but that's okay. He kept barely saying anything, a whole
you know if you use the word Greubel I don't know what he
thinks that this would. But anyway, so he says this nasty
No, it's always anonymous. It's always gotten to postmark is
from some you know it's from you can't tell where it's from.
There's no return address or anything, you know, it's just
okay fine. Yeah, every show, I guess has one of these guys. But
again, I think you're dead on they are fighting the wrong
people, they they're wasting anyone who writes us about
religion wasting your time or even gayness their writing
should be writing to somebody that well it gives a crap about
their feelings on this because they're wasting their time on
people because you
see that that tweet that I received was kind of funny. But
now no one it was yesterday and this is in relation to I guess
the guy who was doing this just heard our thing about Pussy Riot
and of course, Pussy Riot by the way, they're back so they were
intimate. So they got out of jail, went to America got fired
from the band then they were onstage with Madonna in New York
at Amnesty International then two weeks later amazing Russia
lets them back into the country so they can be arrested again.
Okay
and beaten by Cossack and beaten by so you know of course we were
laughing about the about the video the music video they were
creating and that you know that oh, he boy he really whipped her
heart and then of course nothing happened and this guy I won't I
won't give you his Twitter name because screw you got riffraff
three followers.
Why would you know what I do? I just immediately blocked
no because it's funny. Adam curry is a heartless bastard a
self congratulatory racist, anti semitic patriarchal and
superficial conspiracy idiot. Hashtag no agenda.
Well, he lists is good at summarising. Yeah.
Like wow. And that's all because
that's why was why was that put on into one
bowl like that? And because I laughed about pussy right being
whipped. Oh, yeah, that
guy's crazy. Let's see why it was such a fraud. So obvious.
Everybody's running it on all the news channels, same videos
X.
Oh, I just want to complete my list. We finished House of
Cards. Season two.
Yeah, Mimi finished it too. And I want let me tell you what she
said I didn't see I'm gonna see when I feel like but can I go
I'm gonna throw something at you. I want you to tell me if
this might be a correct analysis. She says it seems as
if the story did end but she seems that they did a lot of
leaps of faith in the middle of it to move the story along
faster and faster. As if they were actually planning from the
from the get go from the very origins of the show to do three
seasons and do a three season arc. But that but because spacey
and I've heard him talk about this. He just looks at the time
he could you know, a lot of time and money is spent on this that
he could be bet that could be better spent. He runs a theatre
in England, the Old Vic, he does a lot of movies. He can make
more money doing movies that they said no, we're doing too.
So they rushed the story along and it you felt that there
should have been a third season and they jammed it into this
one.
There could easily be a third season. I don't want to spoil
anything that could easily be a third season. I still liked it.
I thought it was a great piece of work. I have no idea what his
deal is. I think he got a lot of money for this.
I think for the 13 hours, if he had done six movies, which would
be about 13 hours, I think he would have gotten a lot more
money.
Or if it's a hit movie. This is kind of guaranteed. The only
thing I just want to list the presstitutes who all contributed
as actors in this series. Oh yeah. These are the people of
course you couldn't trust them anyway but they they should
their credentials should they should be stripped of their
credentials actually banned. Banfield Kandi Crawley Major
Garrett Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Chris Matthews, Joe
Scarborough, all of you are presstitute actor whores and you
are not allowed to you should be stripped of your journalistic
credentials if you think it's funny it was in the first series
and Hannity I'm sorry his Handy was in there as well you're
right it's good to assume that your shows and it's they're
exactly like they are on their on their new show because they
are actors that's it's there's nothing more or less with that
and they should be stripped of their credentials Major Garrett
really? Major Garrett
How do you name a kid major? Oh no, you
can imagine if you really got to be pretty sure your kids never
going into the military if you name a major can't be Sergeant
Major, major, major sergeant major major Major General Major
What's your minor Major All right, that's
fine. Not gonna argue about that. I think that but I'm
wondering did harkens me back somebody did send the clip. We I
didn't I didn't chop it up to use it on the show. Today with
Michael Savage bitching about the native advertising that he
was presented with you that ended up yeah, you talked about
that ended up on the Hannity on Hannity and Hannity still now
he's like he's doing fundraising for the Tea Party Patriots,
which is one of these groups. And it's like a it's a con flick
with his Fox TV show but he says no, it's for the radio show is
if there's you know, he's not sure if there's some difference.
Yeah. So that Fox doesn't know what to do with this guy because
he's completely out of control. He's just grabbing as much money
as he can because he's get he's just I think he's gonna retire
or quit or something. Or run for office. I have no idea where
this guy's headed, but it's he's completely off the Randy
Yeah,
don't we do we still have Sean hannity.com? Is that still our
website?
Yeah, I think so. Just check it. You think that they would?
Sean hannity.com is for no agenda show perfect.
Yeah. bought it from us by now.
We don't own it. Someone else owns it while they bought it
from someone.
Oh, hold on a second, John. Oh, my goodness. This Justin John.
We have breaking news. Breaking news. Yeah, another dog story.
This is Yoda. He's drowsy. A little disoriented. And let's
face it looks a little goofy. His tongue sticks out like like
he's institutionalised, but he's actually not high. Something Dr.
Kevin Fitzgerald is seeing more and more of we've definitely
seen you know, more than one a week. Since January 1, a clinic
says dogs are getting into their own or supply of pot. So the kid
eating the pot cookie didn't want to stop it didn't go over.
How does it dog roll a joint? No, no, no, it's the edible
specifically edibles. What we're seeing is dogs getting into the
big products. The concern here is my dog is baked that edibles
have a concentration of marijuana meant for controlled
human consumption. Okay.
Hold on a second.
It's dogs and gays. I'm telling you. That's it. That's the
strategy.
Now that's the main gist. Let's be real here. The main edibles
when it comes to although they do sell lollipops in Amsterdam,
but the main edibles insofar as marijuana is concerned, has
traditionally and I think is still dominated by Brownies.
Brownies contain chocolate which can kill the dog. So So in other
words, it would be the chocolate that was damaging the dog, not
the dope. Maybe they were eating brown,
but they show the dog with his tongue hanging out
and he's looking goofy. Poisoned by chocolate.
I'll tell you something. If a dog was sniffing my weed, I'd
shoot that bitch. Get off my weed. It's just another way of
misusing gays and dogs to
get again to the anti for
Florida one but it's four to one it's for dogs to one now John
for dog stores dogs for dog biscuits.
Or need me over one. It's our Navy. It's amazing.
It I just love that people are no longer I used to be the kids
you know, save the kids. Me. That doesn't work anymore. It
used to be people like oh, they're getting killed. It's no
one cares. But dogs
dogs are in. Now I want you to just know the quiz. I don't want
you to tell him what kind of a clip kind of a I got a couple of
clips that are just baffled me. Okay. This one here is the the
Boehner clip this is blah, blah, blah. This is only part of the
question. I didn't even play the whole thing I just want. This is
Glenn Eiffel, geographer geographer asking bringing up an
issue and then they go to Boehner and a clip of him and
then let's just listen to this
earned incomes over $450,000. House Speaker John Boehner would
not say at the party supports the bill. And he refused to
discuss the details. Blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's the best I've ever heard coming out of his mouth.
Was that all about? I don't know. But that's
that was on PBS. That was the that was our Oh, geez. You know,
there were some really dumb distractions this week. I've
been like really really dumb ones. Here's why I had lice
removal company said the number of cases has taken a big jump in
the past year and they believe lice could be spreading among
teens. When they lean in, touch their heads and take selfies
with their cell phones. Most teens admit that they take at
least one selfie each day. Experts say parents need to warn
kids that while those pictures might be fun, they could also
have some unpleasant consequences. Watch. Yeah,
I know. I know. I know. It is the stupid his story ever. No,
no. This is the stupidest story
ever, as if learning her phone had been tapped by the NSA. Say
it was not bad enough. Now German Chancellor Angela Merkel
has the distinct dishonour of trending on Twitter over what
looks like a Hitler moustache and a photo she took while
standing next to the Prime Minister of Israel.
This was such an interesting story to me. Because of course,
we have a Jew standing next to a Nazi. Let's just say it, you
know, this is what everyone's Ha ha ha. And the Israeli blogs,
they were laughing. It was so hilarious. Whereas really, it's
shameful. It is shameful that this is humour because we pull
the Nazi card for everything and everybody Nazi this Assad is a
Nazi. This guy's a Nazi. They're all Nazi. They're fucking Nazis.
But then when you have a German chancellor, who by the way is
pretty much leading Europe. And it may even be photoshopped.
Let's say it's true. And then you get the Jew guy hahahahaha
pointing his finger and it looks like a Nazi moustache. This is
supposed to be the funniest thing and all media is on it
shameful Jerusalem Post snap this photo of Merkel with
Binyamin Netanyahu as they marked 50 years of diplomacy
between their two nations. But the photographer happened to
take the picture, just as Netanyahu lifted his finger
casting a rather unfortunate shadow across the Chancellor's
upper lip, it did not take long for the shot to go viral with
some labelling at the most awkward political photo in
history. Yeah,
I know it's such a double standard, I'd find this huge
insult. A huge insult coming from Europe.
Just I'm not going to argue I want to say I haven't.
Anyone draws a moustache on Obama little Hitler moustache.
Oh, you get arrested control. You get thrown in jail. You
can't do this. This is a horrible, but this is fun. I was
particularly disappointed by the Jewish blogs, these Israeli
blogs I should say. Hey, thought this was so hilarious. Okay,
that's fine. But then when something I'm looking at
one of these things here. This has been boosted there's no
doubt about it, but the shadow and I'll tell you why. He
said yes.
Well, the shadows of her now.
forensic analysis with John C. Dvorak. Here we go
in the shadows don't make sense any place else except over her.
Right. Cross your nose and shadows are never black. I don't
know under no circumstances. Are they black? They're always
greyish. And this one is ridiculous. Yeah. So somebody
it's easy to do. You move you take one of the channels has got
this, you just go around with channels and one of them. One of
them are curves. There's all kinds of settings on Photoshop
that would push this thing up.
i By the way, if you if I'm looking at pictures, if you do a
Google Image Search, I'm seeing different versions of this
picture. Interesting. If you look at the Reddit with flag is
in a different position. There's at least four different versions
of this picture
where she's four different people. Oh, yeah. And she's
leaning in differently and I'm thinking the shadow was
bullshit. I'm with you on this. This makes no sense.
Yeah, so we're looking at a photoshop job.
Yeah, but what Who are we it? Was this meant to humiliate
Merkel? Yeah. It's disgusting. So this it's so infantile. This
is the level that the that we've gotten to now in our media. Oh,
they were talking about 50 years of working together. It's still
Jews and Nazis. That's what that's the media for you. Sad
Yeah, I'm looking at these Yeah. And then they go course if you
really dig out, do you have a picture of her with a Heil
Hitler salute? And
let's see. It's okay. But whenever we laugh about other
things, when the President says Hi, everybody, you know, I get
loads. Oh, no, I'm used to you. You're disrespecting the
president. He says, Hi, everybody. Come on, and you can
hear it. We know what do we know what's going on? I just found
that to be sad, really sad.
Would like to have like to find the original to bed? I don't
see. Original vert. I mean, the guy who originally took the
pictures the one who did the original photoshop job because
there's no evidence, right? Yeah, he just boosted something
and bingo, there it is. Especially this one shot is so
well lit from every direction and there's no way that you
would have that shadow Black Black Shadow. Yeah. And yeah.
Okay. You got dum dum?
No, it's not good. But today, how about this one though? I do
want to go back to Africa for a moment, because of course, you
know, we are keeping our eye on Africa. And then how are we
going to kick the Chinese out and take over anything that
they've built? And do you remember? Well, of course you
do. IBM's Watson?
course I do. Okay.
How did Watson do in America after he basically had one at
jeopardy, and then kind of nothing really happened? They
didn't really get contracts,
we knew that they were going to turn Watson into a product
ID, right, a health care product, which really didn't
work that well. I don't think they've not sold it to anyone
either
way. In the 80s, there were these things called expert
systems. And they and there was a huge artificial intelligence
binge. That was around the early 80s. That's the
or the the first version of big data. Yeah, can ai ai is going
to
be I had all these ideas, and they all failed, right? And one
of them was a doctor that would diagnose your conditions, but
that's actually taken its rightful place as Web MD. And
these other websites, and I guarantee go there with some
symptoms, and it always ends up the same it's like, because of
legal issues. You go, Well, I got this. I got that. I got
this. I got that. Oh, well, you should consult your physician.
Yeah. Because we can't tell you what you've got, because we'll
be liable and sued and we'll die. Right. So this useless
crap. And so they Watson there was hoping to do an end run
around it, but and maybe a nurse, but you still have to
have somebody there to.
So right, so the IBM, and you're about to hear a report with the
IBM Africa. This is actually it's from Bloomberg. But the guy
you'll hear talking is from IBM, Africa. They found a market they
have. They found a market for Watson in Africa, it's only
going to cost some countries their $100 million. This is a
great sale. This guy at IBM Africa, he's on the fast track
to sit with the white people in the boardroom. I'm telling you
hang in there, buddy.
IBM began rolling out its Watson supercomputer system across
Africa this week. It's called the project to Lucy
project. Lucy, by the way, is what it's called. This is the
project Lucy and we'll take
10 years and 100 million US dollars to implement. The system
uses artificial intelligence that can analyse huge amounts of
data. Although it hasn't been that successful in the United
States, IBM hopes Africa will be different.
Now. What do you think the business is that Watson will be
in over this 10 year period for hundreds of millions of US
dollars?
Well, it wouldn't be
remember Big Data and artificial intelligence, I would say
wouldn't be medical because that would be too obvious.
Useful. You got to you got to think scam, you got
total scam, not just intelligence gathering, just you
got to just think scam, you're gonna have to tell me,
Watson, Africa is going to become the cognitive continent
of the world. Africa really has no choice but to embrace
cognitive,
what cognitive listen cognitive.
Otherwise, governments will have to look for that extra billions
of dollars. What Watson is going to do is to create new markets,
it's going to create new markets through cognitive computing
through cognitive computing.
IBM says the technology will will enable poorer parts of
Africa to leapfrog some development stages. Much the
same way mobile phones took off across the continent in places
where landlines were scarce. phones will also play a huge
role in connection with the Watson system through smartphone
apps. That could potentially be hugely beneficial for education.
Okay, so I'll just I'll explain it a little through cognitive
computing and big data and artificial intelligence. Watson
is going to gather all this data and find new markets. For the
Africans very much like the mobile phone market, he will
find new markets and present these, basically, you instal
Watson in your country, and it goes red. And it spits out a
piece of paper that says, you should be in an this market, and
I'll tell you what it should be you should be in plastics. And
they're buying it.
Do you know that in Nigeria, 10 to 15 million kids have never
stepped foot in a classroom. What does that mean? It means
that we got to think outside of the box, new and
new this is this is the IBM Africa guy. Cognitive Computing.
We got to think out of the box.
Yeah, yes, these guys down the street they're beating each
other up think out of the box shooting each other we've got to
think outside of the box.
I'm thinking outside of the box it's anywhere near the shooting
Hello 1980 is calling Africa we want we want our memes back
approaches to a content delivery not brick and mortar work
this guy literally went to that website Yeah, he went to that
website he said the crash you got to think out of the box
brick and mortar won't work.
He knew new approaches to the content delivery new approaches
to content delivery to traditional
brick and mortar work.
Think out of the box.
While Watson's potential is undeniable, take time to
implement the system across the continent and time to see if
it's viable or just another pipe dream another
pipe dream it's another pipe dream. Yeah. Hello Africa you
getting ripped off? Don't fall for it.
That sales guys well, maybe it works in Africa. We just take
our old sales pitches and recycle them in Africa like we
do our old computers. Yeah.
Where's that PowerPoint I had on? brick and mortar that is
literally from 1992
brick and mortars Although it hasn't quite yet evolved to
click and mortar Oh, wow.
Yeah, we could introduce that. Unreal I'm sorry Africa. I gotta
go to Africa. I
really gotta go we gotta go so you'll find it very
entertaining.
Well, of course I lived there for a while but I don't remember
much of a kid. Yeah. Who was saying that that? Was that a
clip that I had someone was talking about it being the worst
ever? Maybe that was the carry stuff
maybe was Andrea Mitchell. You're talking about how was the
no Syria was the worst ever and I was not have you heard of
Rwanda so much in mad and got another
clip of a weird thing. Where a guy said the guy this is a guy
was on this on CCTV, the Chinese outlet and and this is one of
these guys who's obviously been trained as like, Oh, that's a
great question. You just kind of retort but this one here I now I
think about I think I've heard this before and I it's it's a
non sequitur. When somebody asks you a question. You say this,
then you just delete into it. Yes.
Yeah. The weird the weird, Clint weird. Yes. Yeah, I got it. But
yet,
it comes with a balance of trying to grow the economy and
facilitate robust growth in manufacturing. So
how does one strike that balance? Definitely. So that's
what Zuckerberg always says.
How do you say what if I met I'm gonna ask you a question, Adam.
But so what did you do last night?
Definitely. We had an early night. Why would you say that?
No, right. That you got to add that definitely we had an early
night right. It's the crazies speak. Zuckerberg says
definitely a lot. I've noticed him using that. But maybe a
valley thing. Before we go into break there was actually it was
quite a let me see if bomb. Do I have that here? Um, there was,
well, crapola. Where did I put this now
you don't have that I gotta clip it. There's something screwy
going on in Egypt and I'm predicting right here and now
that this last episode of this turnover of government is going
to happen again because there's these people are just ruining
the country. Whatever is going on this clip I have which is the
farmland issues under weird farmland issues. It when you
listen to it, essentially what happened since 2011 is that
there's a limited number of farmers. This is a backgrounder
on the whole agricultural scene in Egypt and the government
response to the problem, which is people are just moving into
the agricultural area and making it so people are going to starve
to death.
Here in the Nile Delta. These fields produce around half of
Egypt's agricultural crops. But these fertile farmlands are
shrinking fast as a building being is underway. Since the
2011 revolution, the number of homes built illegally on
farmland has risen exponentially. Egypt's
population has grown by 4 million in the past three years,
and more people leave more houses and farmers here say
around 20% of the deltas arable land has been lost since 2011.
People went down and built on the farmland intensively and
there was no one to bring them to account. So of course, after
the revolution, there were a lot of complaints regarding the
farmland. When this well designed,
there is a law prohibiting construction on valuable
agricultural land that the government says it's nigh on
impossible to enforce.
It's not possible to be done. By law by force. It has to be a
society movement rather than police movement.
Who was that?
What do what he says this guy's one of these the attorney
general or some says, yeah, there's a law against it. But
there's nothing we can do, right? Yes, there is. You get a
bulldozer. And you bulldoze these places. But no, they say
no, no. The law. Yeah, there's a law and but we can't enforce it.
And it has to be a popular movement. Do you have to take up
arms to get these people off these agricultural properties?
This is corruption.
Right? There's corruption in Egypt. Oh, no.
And you've remember when the first Egypt thing began? It was
really and we kind of always forgot about this. We don't
bring it up much. It was over the price of wheat. Yeah. And
they
couldn't Yeah, they couldn't eat. Yeah, I do remember.
Anyway. BILL MOYERS show he's on PBS. This is our national
television treasure. They have commercials every 15 minutes. So
this is not like some they pretend to look like they're all
good on the up and up. And he had on a guy who wrote an essay.
His name is Mike Lofgren, Mike Lofton was a Republican
congressional aide. And let me see what do we have in his wiki
American former Republican US Congressional aide 28 years a
congressional staff member. And he wrote for Bill moyers.com, an
essay titled anatomy of the deep state. And like you would expect
from PBS it is essentially bashing the Republican Party
that they have made the Congress or the US government inoperable,
which is also kind of by design, but okay, whatever. But what he
brings up is how amazing it is that without any movement from
Congress, we took over Libya, you know, we have terrorists
funded by us going into Syria, the president can kill people,
including Americans with drone strikes. So it's an interesting
essay. And Moyers had him on and had him explain this concept of
deep state. And I want to play two clips from this interview.
Talk a little bit more about the Nexus, the connection between
the national security state and Wall Street, because this is a
theme that runs through your essay.
Do you know that about 30 blocks north of here there is a
restaurant that will sell you a truffle for $95,000? This is
sounds like Bill Gates, by the way.
It's the well it sounds like Bill Gates and Charlie Rose.
Actually, if you look, if you listen, if you listen to this
almost like
homie about this sexuality. It's in your DNA.
And I've cut out a lot of pauses from this guy. By the way. He
was a little annoying on
Christie's sold at auction, a painting by Francis Bacon for
142.
He's also a little bit of a Berkeley Hummer, if you notice a
painting
million. Now a parallel situation with the national
security state, the NSA spent $1.7 billion dollars to build a
facility in Utah that will collect one IATA byte of
information.
This is new for me, by the way, the concept of a Yottabyte. Have
you heard of the Yottabyte? Yeah.
That's as much information as has ever been written in the
history of the world. It costs $400. By the time the Pentagon
finishes paying contractors to haul one gallon of gasoline into
Afghanistan.
He's completely the male version of Jill Abramson of The New York
Times. I like what he's saying here.
That's a real extravagant amount of money. In both cases of the
national security state and the corporate state, they are
sucking money out of the economy. As our infrastructure
collapses. We have a TinkerToy power grid that goes out every
time there's inclement weather.
That's a great one by though I tinker toy power grid.
10s of millions of people are on food stamps. We incarcerate more
people than China, an authoritarian state with four
times our population. Does anyone see the disparity between
this extravagance for the deep state and the penury that is
being forced on the rest of the country? That isn't a natural
evolution? Something made it happen. We're having a situation
where the deep state is essentially out Out of control.
It's unconstrained. Since 911, we have built the equivalent of
three Pentagon's around the DC metropolitan area holding
defence contractors, intelligence contractors, and
government civilians involved in the military industrial complex.
There are over 400,000 contractors, private citizens
who have top secret security clearances,
I thought that was a nice little overview of the deep state of
the of the craziness. Yeah. And then he did something which was
close to my heart. And he showed how Silicon Valley is completely
complicit.
Talk a little bit about what you call this strange relationship.
You know, I got to do that. Again, I gotta play those back
to back because he and Charlie Rose are just as creepy.
Obviously.
Tell me about the sexuality. It's in your DNA. Talk a
little bit about what you call this strange relationship
between a Silicon Valley and the government.
And this is important because Silicon Valley, and pretty
particular apple with this go to fail, get such a pass from the
press, it's discussed how
it fits into the deep state?
Well, the National Security Agency could not do what it
does, the CIA could not do what it does without Silicon Valley.
Now, Silicon Valley, unlike the defence contractors, mostly
sells to private individuals, and to companies. It's not a big
government vendor, however, its services are unnecessary. and de
facto, they have become a part of the NSA operations. I'm sure
the CEOs of some of these companies try to obscure the
fact that this is mostly been voluntary for many years.
I mean, the
surveillance, the surveillance,
the gathering of information of an unknowing citizens,
absolute or commercial purposes,
though,
precisely, they've done it themselves. And they've assisted
the NSA through a FISA court order or an intelligent Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act. So this has been going on for
quite a while yet now. Like, Inspector Ray. No, they are
shocked, shocked to find out, but I think their main shock is
that they're now starting to lose market share in foreign
countries.
Yeah. Oh, good on him. At least some honesty on that PBS
station.
Yeah, yeah. Well, this would be a real concern. Everyone really
has though is the money loss. That's all.
Who cares? We'll get users from somewhere else. It's all about

eyeballs, eyeballs, and users.

All right. Let's see what we got here.
Is the club open again, John? You know, I
forgot about the club. And why the reason I forgot is because I
got a delay notice from the contractors these guys can not
do anything on time. So no Club today. Sorry. I think it's going
to be done by by Friday night. That's what I'm
told. So you're telling me the club will be open Sunday? I'm
did better be there. We're starting to lose money on this
club.
Yeah. Yeah. If we don't have any we need to serve up some table

is from debt. Donald Silva, who gave 100 from ease in Hawaii
living it up. I want to thank you, John, for the excellent
recommendation of the Kindle Paperwhite reader. I would have
never thought of getting it as I already own an iPad. When you
said you could run through books with ease, not exactly what you
said. I thought that's for me. And I'm glad I got it. I prefer
reading on the Paperwhite to the iPad. I'm reading a lot more now
instead of watching Netflix. Hey. Thank you for an excellent
education on the news media and it's deconstruction. To do this
twice weekly is truly a marvellous commitment to the
show and to your audience. My Hello. So that was worth
reading. Let's get through these names and we'll do give our
knighthoods and birthdays out Jamie Graham in Norwalk,

You're having earthquakes in Holland. That must be a thrill.
Google
earthquake north of Holland. It's, you know, it's two or
three on the scale. Every houses are falling apart.
Yeah, you can't those houses
are not not built for earthquake country
and not feel a buddy those little shakers, by the way. They
don't you know, especially in California, we don't even notice
them. But our houses are specifically built for
earthquakes. And they're built of wood in a certain
construction style. That's for earthquakes. Yeah. So your
household shake, rattle and roll but it goes way it's
solid. It sways a little more is what it
is. Yeah. But those houses in Europe is are hard. They're
hard. They're solid things and just shaking them a little bit

you wanted me to mention it. This is from Nicholas, who gave
us double nickels on the dime.
sent to you via Well, yeah, it was.
I think it's readable. It's been almost two years since my first
confession. So here are my dues good serves. I feel no agenda
has permanently changed me and my outlook on almost everything
might be dangerous. But I don't think this is a bad thing at
all. over these two years. I've seen some no agenda theories
play out almost to their completion. The switchy anti gay
propaganda for one how it controls and manipulates people.
As someone who is gay. I've seen this firsthand. The six week
cycle is also uncanny. Although you don't cover a Canadian much.
There have been things that are happening here recently. Anyway,
that before no agenda, I wouldn't question or even pay
attention to it's one thing to suspect or even read about it.
But to see it happen before your eyes is something else entirely.
It's almost surreal. I almost don't want to acknowledge it.
But as a rational person, I see no other alternative. Until we
thanks as for our for our courage and our karma.
This is an educational comedy show. Yes, we gave you the tools
you need to get left without getting buffaloed and ended up

that entails Exactly. But you get all of your notes read on
the air all the time. We read everything. Of course we don't
always have just the time in the in the show, to read everything
above $50. But everything above 50 is what we present. If you
are a knight, a Dane, if you're a baron, you need to add your
title to your donation for a multitude of reasons, which
includes checks, multiple email addresses, Pay Pal, all kinds of
things. It's very hard for us to keep track of your title. So if
you didn't hear us address you as Sir or Dame that's probably
because you didn't put it in your donation note. And it's not
out of disrespect. It said this is a very small operation. Let
me say it's me It's John and an Eric and he's selling bags. So
help us out we We mean no disrespect. No, they're the
great bags. Now we mean no disrespect but you really have
to help us out that's it's always the more people We have

nation.com and pick up a bag. Some of those proceeds come to
us. So good bags
is in the bag.
It's in the bag. Yes,
I have three clips, I'd like to play three.
It's a three peat. Well, they're
all short ones particularly short. But the first one is this
bilateral security agreement clip which is bilateral security
agreement. This is from get France van cat. And they
describe at least the clip to the short as I can what's really
what this security agreements about. We don't talk much about
it. But essentially it is to make sure that when we're in
Afghanistan, and by the way, they're not going to sign off on
this thing. They're hoping now we're hoping as Americans, we're
hoping that the next guy after car sighs out gets in and he'll
sign off on a bus essentially, to turn us into the British
redcoats of the 1700s
are all US forces could pull out leaving Afghan soldiers on their
own. Washington would rather keep troops on the ground, but
only if Afghanistan signs the bilateral security agreement.
According to the deal. If American troops stay in
Afghanistan, local courts would not prosecute them. The deal
says that US troops could lead Anti Terrorist raids in Afghan
homes once they've been formed Afghan authorities.
So essentially a busting into places and all the rest. And we
were completely not liable for anything. So we shoot people,
nobody cares.
You know that to the cars I had Wang Yi visit. Now. The Chinese
are moving in Afghanistan. They are
well, they've been sitting there been on a perch just wait.
They've been smart about it. They they do exactly the
opposite of what you know what we do to them in Africa.
Yeah, well, that's, in fact, that's the model that Chinese
have adopted. When I first heard about years ago, when I first
heard about Huawei, the big Chinese server or routers route
router company that competes with Cisco. Their approach,
according to a guy that worked there was they would follow
around like a, an Ericsson guy, like in New York, this is what
they did. And then they do the same thing here. But they didn't
get you know, we kicked them out. So they don't do it as much
but they would follow Ericsson guys who would come with these
big switches for phone companies, whatever. They're
multi multimillion dollar systems. And they would just
wait to the Ericsson guys leave and they'd go in and the deal
was whatever Ericsson bid were 15% Lower. And that's that was
the was the model and they did they've done very well for
themselves. Anyways, we nobody's talking about the BSA in any
great detail about how they, you know, essentially, can do
whatever they want while they're there. But besides Aki, had a
little mention here it says pisaq Iam BSA is this clip. And
she never really says much about anything except we're gonna get
this done somehow. But I got something else out of
it. And Psaki is the spokesman for the State Department. Right?
Not going to leave this in the hands of President Karzai to
sign and that there is the option of having a six That's
our sign. So that is certainly a new piece of information that we
have not indicated in the past. In addition, in terms of
consequences, what we have indicated is that the later it
goes, the harder it is but also the plan and also the smaller it
will be.
Alright, so I thinking I've finally decided I'm gonna start
deconstructing her stuff a little more. This next clip is
the deconstruction she has nothing but sexual innuendo and
your cute little way about her? Yeah, hands and car silence a
hand. What's his hands doing? So I pulled this out which Right,
right word for word from the other thing telling me there's
not innuendo in this.
The later goes, the harder it is. But also the smaller it will
be.
That's what she said. Hey, oh,
yeah, no, we'll just look at her. She's a sexpot. I think all
those women there including Nudelman. I think they're all
sexual deviance.
Well, the other one that comes in once in a while the backup
girl harm.
Yeah, I'm the Bandcamp. Girl. Yeah, the bank?
Obviously up to something. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on board with this.
And I think the all the whole state department. There are
a bunch of sex maniacs. There was
I got to the to longer things. This one has to do with Sandy
Hook, which of course, a lot going on and that every single
time something pops up about Sandy Hook, we are always blown
away by how nutty it is. Yeah, it means it, do they they tore
down the school. There's, you know, this, everything is wrong
about this whole thing. You're about to hear a clip from the
Connecticut Freedom of Information commission. And this
is literally taken from one of those committee meetings that's
on like public access cable. Where
can I stop you for a second? I want to mention to the listeners
out there that we are the only podcast that I know of or
broadcaster of any sort that actually played the 911 tapes,
right? Nobody would play these tapes. The tapes heads had
absolutely nothing on them. And it was by playing them that you
realise that this this all was all something was wrong with
this picture because everyone wouldn't play the tapes. Why
money would go on.
Um, so um, first thing I'll do is I'll read a little bit from
the Hartford current state task force has spent months studying
how to best bounds victims privacy and the public's right
to know on Friday proposed new limits on what records must be
disclosed to the public under Connecticut's Freedom of
Information Act. And in a 15 to two vote Friday, the panel
approved four recommendations, the most significant of which
would restrict public access to crime scene media, including
recordings of 911 calls, dispatch tapes, and photos or
videos depicting homicide victims. Members of the public
could view the media and obtain transcripts of recordings but
would be prevented from obtaining a copy now. What is
interesting closing of this report, the two members of the
panel who voted against the report were calling Murphy,
Executive Director of the Freedom of Information
Commission and the veteran newspaper editor James Smith,
and they're all on this panel. And the whole thing is about 15
minutes, I've only clipped about a minute 15 from it, it's the
most pertinent because what happened is, and I think I have
to tell you up front in case you can't really follow along too
well, because the audio is a little crappy. They are ready to
vote on this. One this document and this woman calling says
Yeah, hold on a second. But we never discussed or voted on
these these four points, which basically say if anyone within
the legislature within Connecticut does copy something.
Well, she doesn't say Sandy Hook, but does copy anything
under Freedom of Information Act that is now is not allowed. It
is a Class D felony and you will go to jail for five years. She
said we never discussed this. And this was slipped in and she
catches it and they and they wind up railroading it through
obviously.
I frankly don't recall any discussion on any of those
items. There were some documents, but no one. No one
here in this room discuss any of those items that Kaeleen is
referencing. We did not, for example, discuss that it would
be a crime to copy a document. It was never discussed. I think
it was
I don't know. I don't recall. Specifically voting individually
on each of these eight. I think we voted overall. But I
certainly remember conversation about each of those items.
Let's take a look at the minutes So, Barbara, can you look at the
minutes from that meeting? Or do you still have the floor? I
would, I would argue that Well, I would state that that's
precisely my issue that the discussion about a class D
felony was in the legislative language that was proposed, not
in the concepts and the concepts that were voted upon. If, if
that had been discussed, I certainly would have had a lot
to say about whether a Class D felony for that type of
violation of law would would be appropriate. So anyway, that's
the heart of my objection. I think that in recommendation
two, we've gone a little bit, a little bit quite a bit further
from the concepts that were voted upon.
So this is the Executive Director, who's saying this was
not in the minutes you slip this in, we never voted on it. And if
you watch the whole video, they go on to say, Okay, well, you
can make an amendment. And she's I want to amend that we that
these be taken out. And of course, everyone else is like,
No, we're voting on it. It's all good. So the effectively,
anything Sandy Hook related is locked up, is done. Can't get it
anymore. under penalty of five years in jail, if anyone inside
the Connecticut system were to copy that and give it to
anybody.
Well, I think Sandy Hook has been so debunked by so many
people at so many levels. I mean, many of these
deconstructions go way beyond what we did, that it's academic
at this point. And now I mean, yeah, there's new won't be that
book. I guess this is probably just to stop the book writer.
Yeah. From you know, because there's always some, you know,
five years down the road, there's some book that blows the
lid off the whole thing. And that's not going to happen. It's
just going to be forgotten, completely swept under the
carpet.
So there was a big, big argument in New York and New York State
this week.
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, by the way back to the Sandy Hook
thing. But what it did do it set up in Connecticut, I think, to
become a nexus for these sorts of things, because now you're
any buddy that dreams up some conspiracy? You're good to go.
And
yes, Connecticut as your state. Exactly. You want to see more
action and you want to kill some kids? Connecticut's your state?
Yes. For the next two years as we do the show, we're gonna spot
Connecticut at least very twice. Mark, would you
please put that in the book? Yes, I think that's book worthy.
And I think they should change their life, their licence plate
to Connecticut, that anything goes when you want to kill
someone state. Well, that fit on the licence plate. Big argument
big fractious in New York. Very interesting, because for once
it's not right wing crazy religious nutjob gay hate and
Republicans, but actually left wing school system officials who
are very upset about common core, we haven't really
discussed much about Common Core recently. That's why you're
going to get an extra double dose today. And this is in
particular, the, what's her name, the woman in charge of the
New York public schools and in upstate New York, does not want
the Common Core Data to be given to the nonprofit corporation in
bloom. Now in bloom is a room in bloom here we've discussed in
bloom in bloom is the Bill and Melinda Gates funded nonprofit,
which will have if you go to inbloom.inbloom.org in
bloom.com. Or yeah, you'll see what they're basically planning
on doing. And the whole idea is the data goes in, and then third
party application developers can get a seal of approval and can
then maybe slice and dice the data and give this fantastic
information about your children to Well, of course, the idea is
to give it to other educators and the parents, but we know
kind of, so it's
got a some of us got to go to the Yes, yeah. To the Oversight
Committee, steering committee of CCA Of course, the new
directions Corporation of America was also partially owned
by Gaines. Now here's
the disturbing thing about inBloom inBloom. They're the
they have a of course, they're nonprofits, so they have to file
a Form 990 This is I love looking at form 990s Anyone can
do this. And I pulled their 2012 990 2013 is not due yet in
2012. They had zero income. So this is basically a startup is a
new company and we have no financial data. Nothing has been
officially released. They have released nothing on their
website other than that they're funded by Bill and Melinda
Gates. And they also don't show For the conversation instead,
when NPR and this is where I was alerted to this, wanted to have
a debate, they got a spokes hole from the Data Quality Campaign,
which you can find it data quality campaign.org. Another
nonprofit funded by Sheikh Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
and a professional lobbyist type outfit, their hope they are to
their entire reason for existence is to protect in blue.
And if you look at the board of directors, which is always my
favourite thing to do, we have Rob McKenna. He's the chairman.
He's from a law firm or a Carrington and Sutcliffe. We
have John Bailey. He's from Dotco, worldwide, a huge
lobbying firm and lead edge capital Paul D. Bell, I mean,
it's just all elitist crap holes, who are on this another
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, nonprofit. So it's
just layers and layers and layers of people protecting this
scam. I wanted to play although it's a little long, I wanted to
play a bit of this debate between the the lady from the
schools who really doesn't want this to happen, and the Data
Quality Campaign woman so you can get an understanding of the
argument. And then we're going to hear an educator talk about
really, and this was mind blowing when I saw this video of
hers about what is really going on with this common core and the
data and the the computerised testing
Amy Reichstag Madera? I imagine you disagree with some of the
sentiments there. And I want you to make the case for us, first
of all of why we need to be collecting and sharing the data
of kids.
And by the way, Amy, what's her name? Good Dec stat. Krish Nani,
if you look at the data quality campaign.org You'll see there's
an actual menu item which is Amy's desk. The source for the
latest in education policy and data from Executive Director Amy
Rosstat. Good Dara. So it's Amy's desk. Sure. So
I'm an unabashed advocate, and we all are at the Data Quality
Campaign for changing the use of data and education. We believe
that data is the great equaliser. And, you know, the
truth is we've always had data in education, but we've never
used it to really change conversations, change actions
and to change outcomes. And we're now on the cusp. And it's
starting to happen around the country, where we're starting to
see where educators and families are having access to quality,
actionable information. And as a result, it's changing the
teaching learning process. It's providing greater transparency
about what's going on, and allows us to have richer
conversations about accountability.
Whenever someone says a richer conversation about anything, the
hair on the back of my neck stands up. This is this is this
is complete, doublespeak gobbledygook bullshit.
And most importantly, it's empowering individuals to make
great decisions for their own kids. I just want to reinforce
this is about more than anything empowering parents with
actionable information about their own.
You as a homeschooling parent, John, how do you view the idea
of I'm quoting from their website prior prioritising
student data privacy in the cloud and beyond? Does that
sound good to you? Does this sound like this will be
something good that the child will actually benefit from this
never
ever had before? Well give me
an example of that of how exactly this data could be used
to help parents and their kids.
Okay, I'm all ears. What, John, you've taught your children at
home, they've all gone on to be Ivy Leaguers.
Or at least I so I, yeah, you do that by getting? Letting them
read the classics, teaching them from neutral sources, letting
them think for themselves?
Did you give them a Kindle Paperwhite and then track their
progress, how fast they were reading? And what words Yeah, it
was.
Who cares? Did you track it care about that? Did you not?
What would you want somebody to finish a book where you're not
interested in action?
Did you not want actionable data to have a deeper, richer
conversation?
I have no desire, anything.
Here we go. Well, number one, you know, I'm a mom. And the
number one question I want to ask my teachers, I ask them
constantly, you know, my teacher conferences, but every time I
have a chance to talk to them, how is my kid doing? Is my kid
on track to be ready for this knowledge economy that they're
going to be going out into? And how do I know? And rather than
in the past, where teachers would say trust us, we're doing
the right thing. Everything's gonna be okay.
I actually really enjoyed that process of interacting with the
teacher and the teacher never said trust us. I've never heard
a teacher say trust us. Everything's fine. Nothing to
see here. No, quite the opposite. Mr. Curry and you It's
a little distracted. It's a little annoying sometimes. But I
like the spunk, you know, she needs a little work on this or
that, you know, maybe can help I've never heard trust us,
they now can provide me data showing how's my kid doing not
just compared to other kids in her classroom, but also in the
school. But also, we're now able to get this actual information
that shows suitable, because we do have this ability to look and
know that if a kid is scoring at this point in third grade, you
know, for a real data point, we know if kids aren't reading on
grade level by third grade, the chances of them graduating from
high school are diminishing. And so that's real data that we can
tell parents that we need to get your kid reading on grade level
by third grade, or we know that the results aren't going to be
great.
That is That is the stupidest argument I've ever heard. Your
kid might not graduate because he's not at a third grade
reading level. And we can't figure this out without
actionable data in the cloud. Lady.
Well, that may be scary. As you know, as the superintendent just
talked about, profiling, we think it's much more empowering
when you start thinking about our data,
the same buzzwords, empowering all this crap from Silicon
Valley, over and over.
Yes. And that's, I'm glad you're picking up on
it into the hands of families so that they know how they can be
the best advocate for their child. And when teachers are
given that information, and given the training to know how
to use it, it empowers them to not just teach the whole class
in a cohort, but to really focus the teaching process on
individual needs. And then make sure that every kid is getting
what they need and are ready to be prepared and to live up to
their potential.
All right, ready to be prepared to live up to their percent of
redundant comment. Right? Are you ready to be prepared? Or are
you just ready?
And is ready to be prepared to live up to your potential ready
to be
prepared to live up? Which means what does that mean? It means
nothing. No.
And so that goes on for hours now. What you're about to hear
is the others. And this is really, this was mind boggling.
This is Peggy luksic. And she's a troublemaker. I'll be the
first to I got to point that out right off the bat. Politician.
Constitution Party Pennsylvania, troubled
destitution party troubles troublemaker,
he's a troublemaker. However,
what's your name again?
Peg luksic, Lima uniform kilo, Sierra India, kilo, don't spend
any time on it. Listen to what she's saying. She says this
whole common core thing with the data in the cloud is about
computer adaptive testing. Are you familiar with the concept?
No, but I can make sense of it by just the name of it. Okay,
so to set this up, remember, your kid is doing stuff, the
test, the oh, all the educational materials, but also
the testing is coming from the cloud into the cat kid's iPad,
or tablet or laptop or whatever it is. And the kid is answering.
So it's completely two way interactive. However, as she's
about to point out, this has been going on for a long time it
with pencil and paper, the idea that the test is not just a test
for the topic at hand, ie comprehensive reading. But it
can also change on the fly so that it turns into an actual
slave training mechanism. Computer Adaptive Testing, I
give you peg luksic.
The problem isn't that it's self paced. The problem is that the
test is open to manipulation. So if I want it to look like the
students are doing poorly, I can adapt it to make the test
harder. If I want it to look like the students are doing
well. It can be adapted to make the test easier. And you as
parents or taxpayers or policy setters will never know which
way the test was adapted, because it's an internal
mechanism. So it is not a valid assessment. And that that is the
fundamental problem with it is that the test is being
manipulated as it's being taken. In other cases, when you're not
in math that you're in, in some of the more history or or other
areas where it's more philosophy driven, you have to comply
before you can move on. So the child is put in a position of
you must agree, I don't agree with the global warming, never
to have to, because the test won't let you move on unless you
comply. So when the test makers can make the test adaptive, we
can make it easier, we can make it harder or we can make it so
that we force compliance you can't take the next step unless
you comply with whatever it is that's being taught and for or
presented in the test.
So you're seeing what this is going right. Yeah,
it would be funny. Not today. This is funny, but I think the
test should go a little further than that. So when you answer
like do you know is global warming good? No, I think is
bullcrap. The test should come back with a response. You don't
say Oh, John,
have you already heard the clip?
No. And if you don't agree with it, you're gonna have to write
If you're gonna have to say so perhaps an example that is older
will help you. I have a long history in this movement. This
is not the first time the federal government has attempted
to take over education. So in the 1990s, that iteration was
called outcome based education, and then school to work.
You remember that right? Alcohol, education, that's
probably what got you to homeschool in the first place.
And I was one of the leading national opponents then too, and
I got involved, because a woman showed me a test it was given in
Pennsylvania, it was called the educational quality assessment.
It was originally given back in the 70s and early 80s. And
parent the test said citizenship, so parents thought
they were testing George Washington and the Declaration
of Independence. But when you looked at the internal documents
of the test, which I did, he said, we're not testing
objective knowledge, we are testing and scoring for the
child's threshold for behaviour change without protest.
I'm loving this. And this really happened, this was real,
and that was in the test. So that sample question said,
there's a group called the Midnight Marauders and they went
out at midnight and did vandalism. i The child would
join would join the group. If my best friend was in the group. My
mother wouldn't find out. There was no place to say I won't join
the group. They had to say under what conditions they would join
the group. Another sample question was, your parents just
found out that they're moving to Outer Mongolia? How much time
would you spend on each of the following? being upset? Crying,
arguing? So how adaptable are you to change based on the
results of the QA districts were given curriculum packets to
modify their curriculum so that the children would do better on
the QA the next time they were using the test to get a
threshold for behaviour and then adapting now that was a paper
and pencil test. So to say it was easy to track is a gross
overstatement of the level of difficulty that it was to get
the information, but when but compared to a computer adaptive
test, much easier.
So the way I'll hit play it.
Oh, really? Oh, that's very kind of you. Know, wow. Okay. I still
have a minute left of her.
It's okay. When she did the thing about the the, what is it
behaviour change without protest? Yeah, that's when you
won.
And, and what she is saying is that with Common Core,
Scholastic standards, CCSS, the tests and the questions will
change based upon each answer, to bring you into compliance
with whatever the messaging is. And she's saying, look, it's one
thing if it's paper and a pencil, but now when it's on the
computer, this should can change or just immediately, and there's
no oversight, not
in when we were fighting, outcome based education. I
travelled I was in every state, but Hawaii. And in one state, I
was reading the assessments and it was a reading assessment. And
it was a story about a child who found a wallet and there was
money in the wallet, what do you do with the money? I'm sitting
in the Department of Education, reading it in front of the
undersecretary? Because they didn't want me to make a coffee
and take it anywhere? Which was fine. And the question was to
the child, if you found that Molot a wallet with money in it,
would you take it? Do you read better if you say yes, or do you
read better if you say no? Or were they testing a child's
honesty on a state assessment with their name on it that was
computerised? That's exactly
it. You know parents need to process that parents need to
protest this crap. Oh, yeah,
they should this is horrible. We've said this before we should
probably focus on a little more with this kind of with this
woman being a good does. Good person that anyway, I was just
gonna get to which is the kids. This is like what you get in a
in a I think idealistic communist dictatorship of some
sort where you're trying to train the slaves, like you said,
but kids aren't really that dumb. They will actually amongst
themselves unless you keep them separated like you would in a
prison. They will talk about this and they'll say what are
you going to do? I don't know. They put me on this bad thing.
What did you do with my test did this what is your test? Oh, my
tested this. What did you answer? Why answer this and then
they'll they'll out think that they'll they'll scam the test?
Eventually, yeah, well, and so it won't work. This won't where
I mean,
but this is horrible. But it won't work because kids aren't
stupid, but it's skip logic. Skip it. This, because it's
totally skipped, you're getting a question you're answering the
answer is the next question changes based upon that answer a
couple of
rounds of this, you're going to start out thinking the test,
you're going to say, well, what if? What if I said that? What if
I did? They're trying, they're trying to trick me there. You
know, once you get a clue when
you're seven, or AIDS is this way, when this is what you do?
Or how about the big push from our president, specifically, for
pre K, we need to send the kids to the slave training before
kindergarten, by the way, kindergarten, child garden,
where you grow them, you plant them, you watch her them with
propaganda.
Right, and they're pretty pliant, till they get to about
the fourth grade, fifth grade, you start to fall apart a little
bit, you start to think for yourself sixth grade, for sure,
yeah, but seventh grade, and then you're done. And you're now
you're scheming against the system. Yeah, but that you think
our time
is too many people. We're not we're not growing kids that way
anymore. No, no, no. No, where? Okay, where are they getting the
defiant messaging from? How do they even know how do they even
know how to do this? How to go again?
Let's do our show.
Well, thank you. So we are we are essentially, where Bill and
Melinda Gates are us. That's kind of what you're telling
right. All right. All right, good. Well, I'm glad to be on
the front line there. Screw those guys. is corrupting our
children. This has
got to be praised.
Yeah. You want to hear the last 30 seconds ever? Yeah, I love
this.
Because with paper and pencil, I could find it. What if I put
that in the computer test. And if they don't give the right
answer, I can change the computer to move them in the
next direction. So computer adaptive testing is really
dangerous for our children. Because the state can manipulate
achievement data by making the test harder if they want, or
easier if they want. And you will know just get proficient
results. Or they can use the test to test for and then
influence what your child thinks and how your child thinks about
a variety of topics. And again, the parents thought that was a
reading test. They didn't know that it was honest. He was being
tested on a paper and pencil state assessment with their
child's name on it. That's now part of their record. Permanent.
Here's
Wait, wait, here's what she's doesn't get to, which I think is
part of this. And she should get to this. Maybe she doesn't some
other talk. This isn't about at the end of the day, figuring out
how the kid thinks isn't about the kid anymore. It's about the
parents.
Oh, no, totally. And the parents are gonna get a knock at the
door. Because your child doesn't seem so gay friendly as it
should be.
Any number of things. The kid doesn't think this way. Where
did Where does your child get this idea?
Where is it coming from?
Why is your child like what she you know, what is wrong with
your child? Who this child doesn't dream this stuff up by
itself? This child gets this information someone's way
because of some other source. That must be you. And you know,
then you start looking around the house, you would kind of
this is exactly
what my ex wife always says. Whenever my daughter does
something, we're just like, she gets that from you.
No, no. Now just imagine the government being that way.
Exactly. To get that from you,
and you get it from your father. Yeah, it's not that funny.
Really well. It's funny. Not nice. Yeah. Yeah, so this view.
So I'm very happy that this is not only and that's the way it
was being spawned, of course, just to back up for everybody.
This Common Core was implemented through a Race to the Top $8
billion grant given to the National Governors Association.
And they went right ahead and got Bill and Melinda Gates and
all these other suspects. Typical Engel deli goes down on
his wife. Yep, they're all on board. They're all because of
course they have. It has to be Microsoft operating system has
to be Dell computers. They're all in on it.
Yeah, they don't see the danger. I'm not convinced that they're
part of the real scheme. They're just part of the money part of
money, make some money, but But Bill and Melinda Gates, they are
evil, they have to be stopped. These people have to be stopped.
Well, the fact that they bought the into the California
corrections, CCA that operation, which is the privatisation of
which I have some clips of I have it somewhere else, you
know, get them for the show. This is a really bad trend this
these privatised jails.
Well, it's but the privatised jail is the same as the
privatised school. We get charter schools. They're being
paid for by God knows who they're putting all this common
core stuff and take your children out. Vote these people
out. Stop Bill and Melinda Gates stop them. These people must be
stopped. They run they own NPR
They all yeah they're the ones who had the NewsHour redesigned
its whole operation is people like this.
Suits? Yeah, they must be stopped the worst kind of suits
and they really believe that that's the worst part. They
really believe they're doing good. They're not and you need
to get in and pull your kids out if there's common core
candidates in 47 states that there's common core coming to
your school you need
to revolt. Let's state stone habit.
Texas says they don't have it but they do actually. You know,
when you get into this and you start looking I because I wanted
to see you know, what, where's Texas? Texas has educate Texas.
At educate Texas, we know that post secondary education will
jumpstart progress. That's why we work closely with our
partners to ensure that all Texas high school students
regardless of income, bla bla bla bla bla and you look at
who's on this and who's funding this and it just doesn't stop
the daisy chain of nonprofits this also has to stop we have to
stop nonprofits this they have to stop seriously just killing
us it's killing our culture is killing everything
Wow. Okay,
yeah. So that I thought you would like that.
Nothing to top that. Well, a couple of things that are kind
of interesting. Okay, what do you got? Well, first let's play
they this was only a course this was only done at on a democracy
now which is is an agenda that allows interesting little
stories to come. Oh, wait. We just put that off. I do have
something I forgot to mention. We have broken the record for a
drug advertisement.
Oh no. With with disclaimers
to minute that now that we've had these commercials before,
they're usually run. You know, some of them can almost get in a
minute. Some of them are minute 15. But minute 30 tends to be
the average two solid minutes of disclaimer of disclosure. No
Well, I mean it starts off with a sales pitch there was always
the same sales pitch sales pitch, then nothing but
disclaimers, little sales pitch at the end.
And as we've discussed, just like putting negative messages
on cigarettes, telling people heroin is bad for you it
actually encourages the human psyche to go and get some
no this I wouldn't get Victoza
Victoza Victoza
I don't see it Oh, I'm sorry. Here it is. I was thinking of
different here we go Victoza. Here we go.
Across America. People like basketball hall of famer
Dominique Wilkins are taking charge of their type two
diabetes with a non insulin Victoza
for a while I took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it
didn't get me to my goal. So I asked my doctor about Victoza he
said Victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen
that's 18 seconds of pitch I presume we're about to get the
disclaimer Victoza
is proven to lower blood sugar and a one C is taken once a day
anytime and the needle stent. Victoza is not for weight loss,
but it may help you lose some weight
Choza is an injectable prescription medicine that may
improve blood sugar in adults with type two diabetes when used
with diet and exercise. It is not recommended as the first
medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people
with type one diabetes for diabetic ketoacidosis Victoza
has not been studied with mealtime insulin Victoza is not
insulin do not take Victoza if you have a personal or family
history of medullary thyroid cancer not multiple endocrine
neoplasia syndrome type two or if you are allergic to Victoza
or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic
reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat,
dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing
severe rash or itching. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or
swelling in your neck. Serious side effects may happen in
people who take Victoza including inflammation of the
pancreas pancreatitis which may be fatal. Stop taking Victoza
and call your doctor right away if you have signs of
pancreatitis such as severe pain that will not go away in your
abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without
vomiting. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and
if you have any medical conditions, taking Victoza with
a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most
common side effects are nausea, diarrhoea and headache. Some
side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause
kidney problems.
If your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your
doctor about non insulin Victoza is covered by most health plans.
Damn.
That is indeed a record.
I think so I don't know if that can be topped. That may be one
of those records that cannot be taught because I don't think
they like running two minutes.
I was like little disappointed by the side effects though. I
think a lump in a lump in your neck. I you know, I like the
weather without vomiting. That's okay. You
die though. So let's
oh
no
Genda show.
Yes. New Meme alert. The no agenda show.
Finally. Are you ready for it? Okay.
Auto mania? Mania. It's a Turkish trend. It's called Auto
mania. And it is the, the mania like Beatlemania for the
magnificent century for the Ottoman Empire. Oh, odd auto,
auto mania. That's right. It so here's some examples. Certainly
in Turkey Burger King saltan meal combo. Ottoman cookbooks
Ottoman style bathroom consoles, wedding invitations, Ottoman
calligraphy. Ottoman style renovation of buildings. This is
a new mean.
Curiously, the Ottoman footstool is not mentioned No.
But this is is that actually from the Ottoman Empire? The
philosophy?
It's called an ottoman. Ottoman. Yeah,
this is the trend AutoWeb which of course is a throwback to what
the Khalif the post is all about Yeah, it's about bringing back
the Ottoman Empire and if you're gonna do a mania, yeah, well, no
odd auto mania. It's a great new meme. I like it. Auto Show
title, auto mania. And then final only because we got it
from our resident priest, who I think you saw the note to
the
the sciences in Allah. According to scientists now who have
desperately been looking for a way to explain the pause in
global warming for the past 15 years global warming hiatus
caused by the volcanoes cooling effect. You can't make this shit
up.
Did the volcanoes ever go away?
Just practice. Now it is according to a new study. Oh, a
new study published by the journal Nature Geoscience
volcanoes are the reason that average rate of warming dropped
from point 31 degrees Fahrenheit per decade between
1970 1998 2.072 degrees. This muted surface warming was the
result of a series of 17 small volcanic eruptions beginning in
2000. That spewed enough aerosols into the atmosphere to
explain the disparity between climate change models and actual
warming trends. So volcanoes that are basically big fire
spewing zits on the earth, cool the Earth. It's amazing. It's
just amazing. They will go to me, if you're gonna make
something up, you might as well do it something like this. Now,
I think that it's really it's quite genius.
So at least so you look at the temperature data. It's going
down. But you think for whatever reason, it should be going up.
Because that's your whole bait. You're basing everything on
that. Well, that's the climate. It's not going up is going down.
So you spend years probably yes, finding some something that
would explain this going down thing other than global cooling.
Right.
Exactly.
And you come up with, obviously, volcano volcano.
All right. I have a couple of global warming clips. I just
like climate change, just to just to wrap it up for today. I
first use the President talking to the governors of America
on the West Coast, you got governors Brown, Inslee,
Kitzhaber who are working together to combat the effects
of climate change on their states. We set up a task force
of governors and mayors and tribal leaders to help
communities prepare for what we anticipate are going to be
intensifying impacts of climate change, and we're setting up
climate hubs in seven states across the country to help
farmers and ranchers adapt their operations to a changing
environment. In the budget that I'll send to Congress next week,
I'm going to propose fundamentally reforming the way
federal governments fund wire wildfire suppression and
prevention to make it more stable and secure. And this is
an idea that's supported by both Democrats and Republicans.
This is the economy ladies and gentlemen, climate change is
your economy. You there is no stopping it. I would like to
point out by the way that Andre heights who is the stepson of
Jerry, Jerry Carrie, actually is a consultant for a Norwegian
company that will be trading and carbon credits more on that on
Sunday. So this nice bit of native advertising his stepdad
is doing there for him. And all of this, of course, is about the
messaging so that we can continue this economic change
with with green and everything. And you need to do that with a
messaging and CNN, Carol, CNN, brought on the guy from Yale who
is in the climate change communications, and he will
explain exactly who the bad people are. John, be careful,
it's us with me
down Dr. Anthony lizer. What's the director of the Yale project
on climate change communication? His group has been studying the
why question for more than a decade. Welcome.
Thank you, Carol. It's great to be with you.
It's nice to have you here. So let's clear up one myth. Do the
majority of Americans deny climate change?
No, they don't. And that's a really important point, we find
that about two thirds of Americans believe that climate
change is real. And in fact, we see more broadly that there are
six very different kinds of responses to climate change in
the United States.
So I edited this so we can skip right over the first five and
get to the meat number six,
six different Americas, if you will, let's let's talk about
last but not least, is
right that descends, right that very vocal, yes, yes, it's the
last group and they're the ones who deny climate change. This is
happening. Who are they?
That's right. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Are you laying
on the chaise lounge,
that group we call the dismissive and the dismissive.
And these are people who are firmly convinced it's not
happening, not human cause and not serious problem.
And by the way, I think that that's a farce. Climate change
is happening. But to put it in the same lineup, with people who
don't believe it's manmade is not fair. But okay.
And in fact, about three quarters of this group, and it's
about 15% of the public believe that climate change is a
conspiracy. They think that it's scientists making up facts that
it's a un plot to take away American sovereignty. That is a
plot by Al Gore, as we just heard, Ted Cruz talks about,
you know, always right on all counts, right has
nothing whatsoever to do with the basic fundamental science
alluded to before is that the scientific community based upon
the evidence 97% of climate scientists agree that climate
change is happening and human cause and yet this issue has
become deeply divisive in our politics.
Well, my research also found that those very loud climate
deniers are backed by lots and lots of money, a recent study by
Drexel University money,
or money, but listen, listen to what she calls lots and lots of
money
that conservative foundations and others have bankrolled
climate denial to the tune of $558 million dollars between
2003 and 2010.
Okay, so that's about 60 million a year. That's a lot of money.
No, that's nothing. That's a spit in the bucket compared to
the billions and billions of dollars that are being given to
pro man made manmade global warming climate change groups.
This is nothing but of course, evil Koch brothers,
who are these wealthy climate deniers?
Yeah, so there's two main camps? Yeah. The obvious camp, and that
is the fossil fuel producers.
Obvious, obvious,
I'm sorry, I'm gonna do you have a minute job, I just need to go
to the mailbox to pick up my check. From the fossil fuel guys
quickly happy with the current energy system of coal and oil
and natural gas, because that's they're making more money than
anybody else on the planet using and continuing to burn this old
energy source. But the other is the ideological opposition. And
that's what you're talking about with these conservative think
tanks. They're deeply distrustful of climate change,
because they're afraid of the potential solutions. Climate
change is not something that we can all solve through our own
individual voluntary behaviour. Yes, we can make a difference by
turning out the lights and buying a more fuel efficient car
and saving energy. But it's only going to be a small piece of
what ultimately is going to require a national and yes
global solution to this problem. And that violates some of their
fundamental distrust about government and the role of
government in society.
Yeah. Now, of course, as when I say that your economy is based
on climate change, what I really mean is gas. Natural gas is the
future. This is what this is the solution that is given. Of
course, it's not really a solution because it as just as
easy as carbon. The real solution is is nuclear. Oh, I'm
sorry. Let's scare people about nuclear. How about you NBC do
more
on this story as the date approaches, but there's a
petition additionally bracing prediction from a group of
scientists that low levels of radioactive cesium could arrive
on our Pacific coast as early as April like the solid waste that
has already washed up in so many places from the Pacific
Northwest on South this to is from the Fukushima nuclear
plant. Scientists say there are no readings yet at any of their
16 tracking sites and they are not worried about radiation
levels in the water when it does arrive.
However be afraid I said radiation and Fukushima be
scared scared scared scared.
Oh my god. Clip of the Day almost. Well,
now listen, I'm going to this is my last clip. I'm done after
this, the Nuclear Energy Institute. They've come out they
have the 2014 future of energy advertising campaign. Oh, boy,
Vai. If anyone ever needed the curry Devorah Consulting Group,
it's these guys. This is
these are like guys walking around a prop plane with
blinders on?
Yeah. Wow. An aviation reference a nice one, too. Yeah, no, no,
it's worse. It's walking around a helicopter towards the tail.
So I shall play for you their future of energy campaign. Of
course, I got this from atomic insights.com. Otherwise, I
wouldn't even known about it. And they're so they're so bad.
They, they I guess their campaign is trying to show that
nuclear needs to be part of the mix. Ergo trying not to, I guess
not to alienate anybody, or whatever it is, but it's so bad.
One minute, here we go. It's really really, really crap. I'm
playing this off of the YouTube. So give me a second. Well, it
starts here. Oh, I'm
sorry, Eric is energy future.
I'm Leslie to one chief scientist at trans atomic power.
Our next generation reactors take us to nuclear fuel to
generate clean electricity. Other innovators are also
supporting new reactors that are safe and scalable for America's
energy future. All right.
Wrong. Wrong. You got some chick with stupid bangs? Yes, she may
be a scientist when she got big bags under eyes. Shitty makeup.
Eggs. That's a puppy
trainee and girl puffy? Yeah. Thank you get a hot chick, you
go. Half those Ukrainian women are PhD? Yes. Thank
you very much. She's technology innovator is the caption on her
dumb
electricity. Other innovators are also supporting new reactors
that are safe and scalable for America's energy future.
I'm Dr. Patrick Moore, a co founder of Greenpeace and a
supporter of nuclear energy. No single energy source can satisfy
our electricity needs while meeting our environmental goals.
That's why I support the expansion of low carbon nuclear
energy to why are
they see this is where they really messed it up. It does low
carbon. Yeah. Why don't they just say no carbon?
I don't get that either. Jabby no carbon to even bring that
part of it up. Okay, that should be
Yeah, or just or just not say anything?
Cheap. It's damn near free. This would solve everybody's
problems. You know, here's the messaging that should be going
on. But we're not in 1950 anymore. Yeah, technology. We
don't build plants like Fukushima, we have iPhones. We
don't times have changed. And this technology has not been
sitting on its but I've always like to equate that to, for
example, Intel in their in their processor chips. They don't sell
as many as they'd like to anymore. And they just things
have changed. But they do not stop the walk into the drumbeat
of Moore's law. The chips made today are not the same as the
chips made three years ago, let alone 20 years ago. And so you
have so things have changed drastically. In
fact, in fact, that said the voice free should be promoting
that. In fact, first of all, the music has to go. Who made that?
Did someone like doing the music has to go and then you literally
Hey, it's not this is not your daddy's nuclear PAMP we remember
when we had answering machines. Hahaha, that's where that's
where Fukushima is from today. We've got iPhones. We've got
high tech. We've got new nuclear reactors. Thorium breeders, this
is good. Look at this hot chick. It's gonna save these kittens.
That's the kind of stuff we
want to read our electricity. I'm Mark verbeck. I oversee the
training of nuclear reactor operators here at Georgia Power.
And then they put the guy from Georgia Power and nuclear
operator who looks he looks like he belongs in the Addams Family.
The guy's creepy.
I'm one of 5000 workers building the future of nuclear energy and
one of the largest economic development projects in the
country. nuclear plant construction is crazy. In jobs
and growing local economies, confusing the
message around the world.
I'm Vicki Bailey, an energy entrepreneur with 20 years of
leadership in government and industry, not trustworthy for
America's energy future, we need a diversified electricity
portfolio. That includes
people at home, who vote don't care about a diversified energy
portfolio. No, they care about cheap, no carbon, futuristic
stuff, do you?
You know you I've always thought if you put a debate on like
conservative versus liberal, and you're the guy that is promoting
the liberal agenda, you put the debate with a really smart guy
from New York community. And then you find some screwy
crackpot idiot to do the debate on the other side, of course.
Now, is there any possibility that all this is misdirection,
these are designed to fail and that Georgia plant which they're
building which cost a fortune, and is huge and kind of old
fashioned, but it's not as bad as you know, the Fukushima
plants, this thing is going to run into delays, cost overruns,
is going to become a disaster. And they're going to point the
finger at it saying, look at all the old did cost 20 times more
than we thought it was going to cost and wow, oh my god, this is
the worst technology ever. And they're gonna they're gonna try
to turn it on. It's gonna crap out. Wow.
You know, now I feel a little dumb because I didn't do the
research into the Nuclear Energy Institute. I am totally buying
in. That this is has been set up to fail. Good point. Red
Herring. And I'm looking at this. Let's take a look at this
bias issues. Who is this? news and media curry? Who are these?
Who's Who's runs this thing? Nuclear energy? Of course, it's
got to be an NGO or something. Nuclear Energy Institute. Let me
guess, nonprofit. Let's play out all while that's loading. Oh,
here it is. nuclear industry lobbying group. Really, this is
the lobbying group. So it is nonprofit them but this these
are, this is your lobby. This is what you came up with? How about
getting someone from Hollywood? You know, get a Clooney type
person, you can get anybody. There's a million people who
will do anything for money. And this is this is the best you can
do to renewables,
nuclear energy, coal and natural gas. America is developing
innovative new technologies to expand the use of nuclear
energy, renewables and other sources of low carbon
electricity. Are
they promoting natural gas when they're trying to sell new?
I know, the coal, they promote whole the whole thing your
associate,
this is another trick. You do association. So you're condemned
by association. You throw the natural gas in there, sure,
that's fine. But they throw in the coal.
Humbly. We're like call
on us. We're all about nothing like coal. And also instead of
saying we have new technology, like we're developing new
technology, and they show that you know what they always show
this like that stock footage of Ethernet cables with blinking
lights. Yeah, that's really convincingly later energy,
coal and natural gas. America is developing innovative new
technologies to expand the use of nuclear energy renewables and
other sources of low carbon electricity providing energy
security for future generations nuclear clean air energy.
It is so bad
I'm Leslie to one chief scientist, trans atomic power.
Trans atomic power and EI is governed by a 47 member board of
directors man we really got to figure out who's running this
thing I bet you sir atomic rod Adams will know but these guys
are up to no good oh they've okay they've hired the Potomac
communications group I would fire the Potomac communication
guys. I'd be using WPP right off the top Yeah,
get get the get the real guys in there. The problem is they don't
have as much money that's a problem.
How could they not have any money that general electric
bills these things?
I don't think they're I don't think they're a part of it. I
think General Electric just wants the gas turbines and if
those go out after a while you need to build new ones. I had
this whole I hadn't I hadn't thought of that angle. Are they?
Good? They're very good on you and their knowledge centre this
looks shit. FAQ. Yeah, these people are no good. They're
never gonna they're never gonna help.
No, they're not helping. They're not designed to help.
They really aren't are they?
Oh, when you see fails like that you have to assume is done on
purpose. Unbelievable or done by a high school kid. I don't want
to Do
Screw it. We're not going to change that. However, we can
bring you your healthy news diet, and we'll do it again on
Sunday. I'm sure we'll have more common core, as people are
awakened once again about this.
D, a little bit about genetically modified crops in
Europe. Nice. All right. They're supposed to be all against it.
They're all for it.
And then we also have to talk about this Boston Magazine
article about the the, the Boston bombers and they're
linked to the triple murder. And this girl who has been reporting
on all of it, who was a friend of one of the killed guys, it's
very, very deep. Very strange. I link in the show notes so you
can brush up on that and be ready for the show on Sunday.
Thank you all for your support. Everybody who's donated monthly
donors, of course. And our executive producers Associate
Executive producers on nights dame's remember 600 coming up,
you get a double credit. Or otherwise, we'll kill this
kitten here in FEMA Region six in Austin, Texas in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm surrounded by Silicon
Valley people. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll
be back on Sunday right here on no agenda
