Sunday, April 13 2014. It's time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 608.
This is no agenda, filtering the mainstream
of harmful carcinogens for your protection here in Region six
and Travis high tide out in Austin, Texas in the morning,

and I'm from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm doing my taxes
and I don't like what I see. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Vaughn
buzzkill
Oh man, I'm so not doing that yet. Don't we have until
Wednesday? Yeah.
Reminded me of it. Thank you.
I don't like that. I got a frog in my throat this morning. Yeah,

hit you. You've been sick for the last few shows people
haven't noticed. Well,
it's actually it's been oak. Yes. It's been the last couple
of months. We actually we were like we started looking around
maybe we should just get an apartment somewhere and leave
the Travis Heights area because we can't just I ology stuff is
crazy.
Is everybody suffer from this? I used to know,
last night. So yesterday, I worked all day. So that I could
have a couple hours at our buddy's 50th birthday party.
Okay, and and it was outside of course. And even long to people
who were born and raised in Austin they all say Oh yeah,
well that's our little dirty little secret is our allergies
that we have here.
And it really so so people that have been living there all their
lives and I've got no reason to have allergies. have allergies
well why don't you some Austin's Yes, Orleans,
please go to my Twitter stream. Your Twitter says yes, yes. You
know where I were I tweet where I
am Adam curry I believe yes.
And look for the picture from the party from last night.
Curry pockets agenda and live now that's a
little last night at that's not it was a photo of Miss Mickey
myself and a surprise guest as the theme was American Hustle.
What's his name? Sir Jean. Yeah. A rare insight into the fan base
is that a great shot?
Didn't get you some stuff. You think he's gonna talk like this?
You actually he had the whole thing down even a little baking
soda under his nostrils it was a great party. Yeah. In bed by
1130. Yeah, that's that's the life we live in. Maybe I tell
you
I started off with some good news. Oh, okay. China's been
corrupted. And I think we've got I think this is the best thing
that's happened ever
and we have something to do with it.
I believe so. Okay, I got two clips and it's about what
happened on Sina Weibo. What what is Sina Weibo? Sina Weibo
is the combination Facebook and Twitter of China.
Oh really it's a combo it's it's literally a Facebook Twitter
combo class for Facebook
and Twitter I think they call it more Twitter than Facebook but
it doesn't seem so good to have likes and all that kind of corn
balls
is it Sina Weibo dot c and
I've seen as the company Weibo W E IB. Oh is that is the product
I don't think is weibo.cnn.com I don't know but this is the good
news is the way this is the report is out right now the big
breaking stuff happening. Chinese you know they don't.
They don't like to be critical, but they can seem to be
critical. This seems that they've taken on some
characteristics of the American public, which means that they
can be manipulated in new and different ways.
Like all social media, China's Sina Weibo has seen a share of
celebrity gossip and scandal as photos. But there's nothing like
a lying cheating heartbreaker to really get users going. linkage
has Beijing correspondent Mark Dreyer joins us now. And Mark
What is this post that's been drawing so much attention.
It all started with a post by a newspaper a couple of Fridays
ago. They said See you on Monday, implying that they had
some big news to break. The news actually broke over the weekend.
instead. Actor Wen Jiang who's 53 million followers give you
some sense of his popularity here had been caught cheating on
his pregnant wife, the actress Mark Ely posted a lengthy public
apology ahead of the newspaper exclusive that was forwarded 1.2
million times and Drew 1.9 million comments. Many of them
critical. One person wrote those who feel that when Jones apology
is insincere. Please click Like and 10s of 1000s did so. Another
had this to say the highest order of mail scam. Those who
have hurt their wives and let the mistress take the blame
while they themselves are able to start a fresh adding to the
scandal was the fact that the mistress in this case was
Another actress yardie who's like when's that wife Ma was
another of his format TV co stars. That was just the start
mother the wife then posted this short message. Although love is
easy, marriage is not it's to be cherished. That comment was
liked more than 2.5 million.
So what you're saying is, isn't this great? We have we have
spread the horrible, stupid social media sickness upon them.
Is that what you're saying? Yeah, it's pretty.
It's like a disease that's pretty good. And it's got them
going and this even this meme came up about cherishing and all
this other crap and as all these likes lying around and the
Chinese are being critical, which is you know, publicly
saying bad things is not normal Chinese trait I mean, the whole
thing is just completely it's just to me it's just out of
control and wild is the second part of this you want to play as
shorter
I don't know if I really want to Oh, come on.
This is the beginning this is This to me is a historic moment.
The four posts to from when one from Martin one from mass father
with a fourth most popular of the week, setting new records
for the numbers of reposts comments and likes
they should they should be having making up their own
vernacular, you know, it's like it can't just be using likes.
Oh, this in Chinese is some other word
and what's posts and comments don't they have good like tweet?
A weed but yeah, we
we hear factors are in play.
Suddenly looks like those who argued Weber was dead. They can
somewhat Oh,
we heard that. RSS is dead. Twitter is dead. Facebook is
dead. Weibo is dead. We've got they're using everything now.
Yeah. Even us now. Do they have a Michael Arrington of China?
Probably. Mark TechCrunch. Is
there any sense of who has been fascinated by the scandal?
Yes, John C. Dvorak in Berkeley, California has been fascinated
by the scandal.
Well, Cena actually said that most people discussing when
initial posts were females aged 24 and under. Oh,
are there pictures on this thing? Yeah, yeah. With chicks.
Yeah, they're selfies. Yeah, I don't see any so I see. Well, I
see someone with food. Oh, man, the Chinese like the oh, here's
one. Oh, there's a cute little selfie. No, it's out of control.
These kids? What are they wearing? Oh, my goodness. Oh,
you're right. They can never take over the world now.
No, they've been corrupted completely. This is the worst
thing that could ever happen to the Chinese government. They
shouldn't wait for things to do this and that. They should have
shut this thing down from the get go
that yeah, this is I completely agree. I can't read or
understand much of it. But I can see the selfies. Huh, okay,
well, this is this is your right. This is very good news.
Today's the Yeah, we should mark the day. Yes, it is April
13 2014. The renminbi? anymore. I'm practising no renminbi. I'm
practising my Chinese, we got to get ready. That's probably
not a bad idea.
revelling them in cyberspace is what we're doing. Realising Good
work.
Good work.
I just thought Yes. A little good news today. To start
donations were so far down. Yeah, that would be the only
good news of the show. Yeah. And
do you think there's a reason for that if we just not been
doing our job, which is what I immediately think. I always
think
listeners are tired of us. I think a lot of the listeners are
just not stepping up to the plate. I mean, we have our
regulars and we have our subscribers. But we don't have a
you know, we have these moments. Of course, tax time is here. And
you can always use that as an excuse to go on with the having
an excuse not to donate after I got this letter, gentlemen have
in front of me, but it's a guy in England. And he says he says,
Oh, this note came over the weekend. If it came on Friday,
I'd have my wallet in your hand. But since you sent it out on
Saturday, it's impossible for me to donate. I don't know what
he's talking about. Like, is he gonna send us the wallet is he
gonna fail the wallet. But this is like one of these guys,
instead of actually contributing to the show and helping us out.
He's actually taken as an excuse not to donate then berates us
for when the newsletter can actually is a reminder to watch
the show the next day and actually supposed to coming out
on Friday and actually
takes time to send an email to you. And actually an email to
you or normally people just send it to me. I mean, this guy
really went all out he did some real work.
Yeah, I went through all the trouble of doing this and you
know, he's a classic. This is the kind of there's we get by I
think we've got more of these people than we really want,
which are this kind of screw ball. I don't know how to even
describe a guy like that. Well
It doesn't matter because I'm still enthusiastic and nice. And
I've still done my research and I've done my homework and I've
been I've got things to discuss. And the first thing as you know,
we're always on top of what kind of drugs to give our kids and
for what reason? You know, I love the DSM, the DSM five is
out. Now. That's the Diagnostic Statistical Manual. It's the
Bible for the pharmaceutical industry.
Yes, a profit making Bible. Yes. So money.
New research has shown something very important. Now, of course,
we're all familiar with ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder. And we have a couple of drugs to treat that. We have
the we have Ritalin, and we have Adderall. These are all great
products if your child has taken them by the way, we here at the
no agenda show recommend you try them yourself. I'll give you
good idea what you're doing to your child. Just take one that's
all it when we all will all it will take. Now, there's of
course, a problem with this. The way I view the world of
pharmaceuticals, is the the H in ADHD does not really I mean,
there's a whole bunch of kids 2 million in fact, according to
this article that I found the New York Times that you know,
they have attention deficit. But the hyperactivity is a problem.
And now groundbreaking research. John has determined Oh, yes,
groundbreaking.
We got new stuff coming.
We have a new disorder, and your child just may have this. It's
called sluggish cognitive tempo disorder. And the the condition
is characterised by lethargy or lethargy, daydreaming, and slow
mental processing.
What, what, what test? Do they do to prove or disprove or, or
major let's say well, slow mental processing.
The Journal of abnormal child psychology
met the kid like a like a crumpled up piece of paper throw
right in his head. Take him forever to block the shot.
Office head, that slow mental process well listen to this
mean, by the way, well, is mental processing say you're a
fast at a basket on a basketball court. you're dribbling around,
and you're kind of dumb in school, which can happen is that
slow mental process you know, seems unlikely.
In an interview Keith Nick Bernat, a professor of psych
psych psych Gayatri at the University of California San
Francisco. That's up in New York neck of the woods, co author of
several papers on sluggish cognitive tempo. And He's
amazing. He's an expert said
Oh, our guy again holons Chief MC, burn it.
Burn it when you start talking about things like daydreaming,
mind wandering and those types of behaviours. Someone who has a
son or daughter who does this excessively says, I know this
from my own experience. They know what you're talking about.
Time to drug him.
Dry gum, is daydreaming. He's thinking about a better future
drug
drug that veg. Oh my goodness.
Wow. So a kid can't just be day No, no, no, no daydreaming,
get back to work slave.
No daydreaming for you
do that number line, whatever it is. The number number line.
About two thirds of children with ADHD diagnosis take daily
medication such as Adderall and or Concerta Hertz. Yes.
Oh, God,
and that 6 million kids who in America alone are diagnosed with
ADHD This is kids. There's grownups are diagnosed with this
to me they did a study published in the Journal of Child and
Adolescent psychopharmacology concluded this is the first
study to report significant effects of their medication on
SCT That's right. Strattera is the medication Strattera.
Like one to check out
I have I need someone to be diagnosed with this so that I
can try me some Strattera Strattera because I like it
strattera.com I like me some Daydreamin here haven't
seen any Strattera is commercials for this shit. This
is no good.
Strattera is a non stimulant that may provide relief for ADHD
sooner would it be non stimulant? Who wants that?
And look at these two people that are on the front page of
their website in daydreaming, and the other kid was like a
pervert,
we can get a 30 day free trial. I need to try me something I'll
try anything Let's use their commercials if we can find a
commercial
bus for bipolar
one she looks out of it. I'm gonna use it for anything. Tell
your children
teenagers don't give your child teenager hazard here we go. Oh
wait here we don't have to have it you just have to have a
family history.
Here we go. I think this is a struttura ad. We'll probably get
it
they don't want you to take it straight Tara no they want you
to the doctors.
We've got our work cut out for us sales are down what's
it like to have adult attention deficit disorder? Add you often
feel distracted disorganised
Thanks YouTube I snapped out oh it's is flashes can we be
able to finish things like the channel keeps changing in your
mind? If you feel Oh, I hate this.
It's just like spinning beach balls across your whole
life. You may have a don't add. What about your a condition your
doctor can diagnose and treat. With prescription Strattera. The
first FDA approved medication for adult add Strattera can help
you stay focused so you can get things done at work and at all
slave you should not take Strattera. If you're taking an
MAO y or have narrow angle glaucoma, telling your doctor if
you have a history of high or low blood pressure, increased
heart rate or anything
you should see this commercial is this woman like she she needs
to double her dose. He does not look good. Wow. Strattera.
Let me get this. Let me figure out what was going on here at
Top at Tom mexiletine. Let's see what that is
Dr. Barkley who said that SCT is a newly recognised disorder also
has financial ties to Eli Lilly. Oh, really? Oh, interesting.
I've never heard of such a thing.
He received $118,000 for consulting and speaking
engagements. Okay,
money more and we're getting
no kidding. No kidding. Did you find anything on the doctrine of
burnin. Anyway, I thought it was just I thought it was kind of
just a really nice little little thing to add. Add there's 2
million kids in America who have sluggish cognitive tempo
disorder. As CT, check your kid. I think your test is valid John,
you throw a wad of paper at the kid. The kid goes wood
bounces off his head. He's got so he can even move his arm to
stop it. That would be a slow thinker.
Yeah. Yes, that daydreamer
that would be the what the tests the doctor should do. crumple up
the piece of paper and then toss it right into kid's forehead.
See what happens.
Oh, man. Yeah, perfect.
Yeah, okay, so this is not to be confused with a serotonin. No,
something uptakes the day Oh, no, don't selective reuptake
inhibitor
is
I can't figure out what this drug is. What it does or where
it came from. It's good though, right? No, no, it's perfect.
It's probably bad for you know,
I received. I got a back and forth email with someone a ham.
Of course. Excuse me.
And the hams all sending you notes. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. 73 is good, buddy. Oh, no, they don't say good, buddy.
Let's see B talk. We don't say good buddy. 70 threes and 88 for
the for the echo the ex while the YSL whatever the regarding
the pinger? The underwater locator for the so called Black
Box of the Phantom aircraft that is still being reported on CNN
every minute. It is, by the way, every single time you see
Richard Quest. You know Richard Quest. He's the he's that
British guy who's on CNN and he's that he's there. Here's the
aviation expert. Tell me you've seen this guy. Yeah. Okay. Every
single time I see him I just remember back to 2008 when he
was arrested in Tompkins Square Park in New York, with meth in
his pocket, a dildo in his butt and a rope around his testicles.
He had a deal done.
And a rope around his testicles and meth in his pocket. Was this
reported. This is in the New York Times. That's why I keep
reminding myself of this. This is fabulous event. And this guy
is now telling us with some great authority.
Yes, be your news media. Ladies and gentlemen.
He's got a pinger in his Yeah, this is a great story. And when
the cops arrested him because he was he was in kind of a
predicament. And because he had this rope around his say there's
a rope around his neck really move. He said I have meth in my
pocket. I have meth in my pocket. What I do believe that
you got to get oh Central Park. I'm sorry, not Tompkins was
Central Park even worse. 64 Street West West driver on
3:40am. Gee, I have met in my pocket, he said. Anyway, so this
ham question means the same guy. Yeah, that's the same guy.
That's why I'm always talking because
that name is not uncommon.
No, no, it's that's the guy. That's the guy from CNN. It's
Richard Quest from CNN. Yeah.
No, that's what they had to hire nowadays. You know, the times
are tough. He probably he probably gets paid. And this was
worth a million dollars
was 2008 was not long ago. Well. So this ham says, you know,
Adam, really, you know, this seven, this battery runs down.
It's very easy. This was regarding the 37.5 kilohertz
versus 33.1 kilohertz, which of course no no 33.3 I'm sorry,
33.3, which, in our book means, okay, there's the code. This
thing is obvious bullcrap. Otherwise, they don't pull that
number out. And so I'm like, I'm gonna go take a look and look at
the company that makes this. I did some work. looked at it as
the DK 120 beacon. Here's a couple things that I found that
very interesting. First of all, it is indeed rated 30 days on
the battery. But after 30 days, it will not change in frequency.
Their spec actually, specifically states that it can
vary by plus or minus one kilohertz from the 37.5
kilohertz. But what does happen is when the battery starts to
run down, because it's an it's an acoustic Beacon, the beacon
will then it will, okay, so its acoustic output is 1060 dynes
per square centimetre of RMS pressure. But after 30 days,
when the battery starts to run out, it's not like all of a
sudden, it's just done. Then it drops down to 700 dynes per
square centimetre RMS pressure. I have no idea what that means,
of course, but I do know that it doesn't die after 30 days. But
but also the pulse of this pinger. No other like, oh, we
picked up a ping, we picked them a ping, this thing went
operational pings for nine milliseconds. Every nine tenths
of a second so it's it's it's it's pulsing continuously. It's
nothing big. Yeah. Yeah, continuously. But here's here's
something that I found that was in the Federal Register of all
places. As when the foreign the French Air Force AirFrance plane
went down in 2011. They changed the rules with the FAA
specifically, but for all aircraft worldwide, ICAO rules,
that underwater locating devices now have to have batteries that
last 90 days. And this rule was literally put in place three
days before this flight went down.
Was the rule hat. What was the implementation? With the embers
the rollout? What did it have to be? None? There's
no no, it didn't have to be on this plane. But I just found the
the timing of that incredibly coincidental. For some reason,
yeah, I'm not I'm not I don't think there's really anything to
it. But I did find it interesting that this plane went
down but pretty much a month before everyone has to start
rolling out these new beacons with 90 days. And there's all
kinds of issues with this because if it's a 90 day
battery, then it's a lithium ion battery that could be deemed
dangerous. There's all kinds of follow up to all kinds of stuff
like that. But anyway, this just running across those specs, this
thing is not going to float all of a sudden down or drift down
to 33.3 kilohertz. That's not according to its spec.
So what did the ham guy say to you never finished?
Oh, and he said to go you surely you know from the Heathkit days
that when your power goes low? This is not his kit. This is an
FAA certified piece of equipment. This is not a self
build ham Heath kit. And then he came back and we said you know
what Heath kits first kit was an aeroplane was yeah, I didn't
know that either. The first Heath kit was an aeroplane. But
anyway, this thing does not just stop after 30 days. It will
reduce in its in its pinging output pressure level.
You Recall that loudness
acoustic output is what they call it acoustic output that
also will not drift that far down in frequency. And it pings
continuously. It's not you know, it's not like a world war two
submarine board ahead one bubble so everything everything that is
now being shown on television, and being prognosticated by the
guy with the rope around his testicles in the, in his pocket
is bullcrap.
What was the rope doing around his testicles was he had some
s&m Club in New York or something like
that one that was never made clear.
I think somebody should have asked him if they should ask him
now. What are you doing?
We should do? Something we should exactly what are you up
to? Or should just give it a shot? Oh. Would it be funny if
Erin Burnett all of a sudden just said, Richard. I have a
question.
That would be her last day on the job.
No,
she's gonna marry some millionaire billionaire that she
wouldn't marry.
She's already married to like a Wall Street guy thing. Oh, she
hasn't. She's a kid. They got a kid together. Oh,
she doesn't need to work. Anyway, she's just being told to
work
anyway. All very good news. And here's the best news of the day
got angry Rado Raff and Laura portress in the country no
problems at customs. How's your return by calling you experience
any difficulty
is very smooth, which is what we expected which is why we came
back because we didn't think that the US government would do
something really counterproductive and they
didn't so we're happy about that.
Yeah, I thought more important is always Greenwald in New York.
He came in with boisterous Yeah.
I thought she always got stopped. Oh,
no, no. Such a dumb blowhard that he answered the question
before she had a chance to bitch, how was your return back
home and you experienced
any difficulty? No, it was very smooth, which is what we
expected which is like backups had
a story to tell and now you blew it for me.
Because we've been thinking that the US government would do
something really counterproductive and they
didn't so we're happy about that.
Yeah. So he's back Greenwald's in the country that to pick up
an award to pick up an award also you can count on the done
that $25,000 A pop plus of 20 5000s was going to get
speaking engagements all over the place and a few freebies at
a couple of colleges
are really is that is that really what he's doing he's here
to do to pick up some some doesn't guarantee
it you're going to start seeing him be giving speeches it's
going to be bloody universities, which is low money he'll get
depending so you're gonna get from zero which you'll probably
work for, to about 10 grand may be for some of these college
gigs and then he's going to do a bunch of the corporate gigs and
those are going to get him 20 If he's got a good agent which I'm
sure there's all the agents will work for him because they it's
not like you get an exclusive agent they all do it right and
then he'll get 25 grand a pop on those and minimum I don't think
he's got the wherewithal to get more than that because gonna
have trouble rationalising it to his is enemy Scaife
escape was named skate ski hill,
ski hill ski that anyway ski hill would like to get that kind
of dough and so it boisterous but greenwall has been out of
the country solely and he's going to get the big speaking
engagements and he's going to be lined up he'll be here it'll be
probably do it for about a year. This is just my guess.
But there's something inherently sneaky about him coming back
into the country just to pick up an award No, this is just Yeah,
because that's the speaking engagements. I get it I guess
that's a good point.
He's got to make some money get back to Brazil bring back about
I didn't know you could probably do about 10 to 20 gigs bring
back a half a million bucks. Yeah.
Nice. Before they
often Yeah, no is gonna do anything. That's the funny spin
off. He's on the intercept
would be funny. If they did a quest on him. What a quest.
Richard Richard Quest gets found with a rope around his nuts.
meth in his pocket
I got in medicine
Oh man. Well, he has no news that's for sure. What what was
really interesting is this back and forth Bloomberg. Bloomberg
and let me see who is the the reporter on this.
Yeah, there was what was this? I would didn't get any clips of
it, but I kept it there. There's
no There's no clips but so Bloomberg reported bloomberg.com
It's my find who the Who the reporter is NSA said to exploit
Heartbleed bug for intelligence for years Michael Riley. And so
he very clearly reports one way there's a video here, maybe we
can. I didn't know it was a video. Maybe we can get some of
this from him. This was on Bloomberg Television.
streetsmart will probably get an ad. So let me turn that down.
Here we go. Is it working anything? Very, very clearly.
That reports the NSA or other
security agency knew about the Heartbleed bug for two years,
but instead of telling the public
this flash is gotta go, man. We got this has got to stop. I
think it's your connection. No, no, no, no, I
decided to use the flaw to gather intelligence. Bloomberg
News reporter Mike Riley broke
this. Come on. Ah, so annoying. All right, I guess. Yeah, it's
spinning. beachball, I'm sorry. So he so he breaks his story.
And then the NSA comes out very clearly saying no.
Not at all.
This is not true and are our general bias. This is also the
language used by the White House, the bias is to let the
public know about so called zero day exploits something that is
brand new, and is just just kicked in. Right. And let's see,
maybe I can play this, this all work. Here we go.
So this is actually what the NSA does, they find they have more
than 1000 people whose job it is to really look at software code,
and especially really important software code that covers a lot
of the internet. What they're looking for is flaws. They're
looking for vulnerabilities that they can use that they're
hackers can use to get into computers. If you contrast that
with the open open source security community, they have a
small number of researchers who, who spent a lot of time time
trying to maintain the integrity of the code. And they just
missed this one. The NSA did not.
So that's it. That's it. Pretty clear statement.
Yeah, I would say Okay, go on with the thing because I'm I,
I'm starting to form an opinion as you develop this. Okay.
Well, the only thing I would say is the last time a guy did
something like this and was really kind of like noodling the
government was when Bloomberg the reporter sued the Federal
Reserve. You remember this mark Pittman from Bloomberg? Yeah.
And then he died of a heart attack at 52. If I have Mr.
Riley here, I'd be very careful. Unless you think that you're
you're thinking is maybe there's something else going on here?
Well, if the NSA says they didn't do this in their
policies, otherwise, you know, they'll do the other thing,
which is to tell people there's a problem with the flaw in the
story is his report, which says, the NSA is looking for these
flaws. So they can spy on people essentially boiled it down,
which makes zero sense because they have all the all the means
there are to spy on people. They don't need other ways the spy
mean, they can spy on us effortlessly. Now. Why do they
need to be doing this? Unless, you know, I mean, this makes no
sense. It makes no sense. So if the NSA says, and I'll take him
at their word, that we're Dell, we didn't do that it's bullcrap.
We don't it would they should have said was no we don't do
that's bullcrap. We already have the mechanisms in place. Right?
Right. Right. So why would we want to do this is stupid. I
believe them. So there's something admits the story is
now I never thought it because I first bought into it to the NSA
was sitting on this. But when I heard this guy's report when he
says that the NSA is looking to always spending his time looking
for flaws. Now they're not.
Well, there's something else about this whole Heartbleed
thing that is bothering me. So I
bothered by the logo. This logo come from well,
so you know, there's Yes, that is that. That's the thing. It's
like scratching at the back of my skull I'm going now I think
it doesn't matter. So this came about very quickly. And if we
still are going to contend that there's so let's work backwards
from this. This is this is real time processing we're doing here
to the Bloomberg let's say this Bloomberg guy who seems like
he's kind of a in trying to be a little bit of a Greenwald
liquid. I got hackers there at the NSA, which is kind of the
way he's talking. Not that he's the doesn't sound like a
technologist at all. No, he just sounds like a guy who's who's
got a scoop. So we're working back from that this is anti NSA.
Now, or one of our original thesis is this is a CIA versus
NSA fight that has been going on fight for the money. Okay. Yes.
For the budget for the budgets for the budget. So now of
course, we know that there's people trying to get the secret
budgets out and to find out who's got what, but it's all
about the money. So this bug was discovered by a number of
people. It's not entirely clear if it was at the same time, or
if they worked together. But it was Neel Mehta, MD HTA, who's a
security researcher at Google, which is CIA. We know that
Google is just the CIA along with a company called Kodama
con. So let's let's look at Kodama con for a second.
It's funny I went to the Kodama con convention in San Diego
recently, really? Oh, no, no, what I'm sorry, that's Comic
Con. I'm sorry.
So June 30. So this is just six months ago, six, seven months
ago, Howard a Schmidt became chairman of Kodama Khan's board
of directors. Howard a. Schmidt.
How do you spell Kodama Khan?
CEO? Charlie Oscar Delta echo November Oscar Mike India
Charlie Oscar november.com. Got it. But dama Khan, the market
leader in security testing announced today that Professor
Howard a Schmidt was chosen as chairman of the Kodama comm
board of directors. Smith is an internationally distinguished
security expert who has served President Barack Obama as White
House Cybersecurity Coordinator. During the administration of
George W. Bush, MIT served as the vice chair of the
President's Critical Information Protection Board and Special
Advisor for cyberspace security for the White House. So these
are a bunch of this is a spoke. Okay, Sansha obviously, alright,
so he's this whole company is essentially a spook company.
Yeah, it's probably run it's probably highly financed by the
government. So intelligence.
Just look at the comp just look at the company and look at their
website. Yeah, it's obvious now the website. So now this Neil
Mehta, who we don't know that much about he is Twitter. He had
like three tweets in 2010, three in 2011. And then all of a
sudden this one.
The funny thing is when you look at that picture of Schmidt he's
just looks like every older spoken book. Yeah.
So Neil Mehta, all of a sudden, discovers this with these guys.
And it's and they're all thanking each other, but they
don't really explain the process, how they found it. And
then Neil Mehta gets a $15,000 reward from hacker one. And
hacker one. If you go to hacker one.com. is effective
vulnerability disclosure programme making the internet
safer by improving vulnerability research, disclosure is good.
This is a disclosure programme sponsored mainly by Facebook and
Microsoft. And they have all these donations. That is, you
know, are they talking about disclosure, but it's very
unclear where this money comes from. And when you discover a
bug, then you can get a bounty.
And disclosure is good. They say all technology contains bugs.
It's inevitable that a member of the public will discover
security bugs in your software. And how you respond reflects the
maturity of your security programme. Maintaining positive
relationships with security researchers is one of the most
effective means of providing a safe and secure product.
Disclosures shouldn't suck.
So Neil Mehta of Google who discovers this gets an imaginary
magic $15,000 Although if you look at the and this is a Dutch
outfit, by the way, that's hacker one.com. These are Dutch
people. So this is a Dutch company, a Dutch organisation
who run this disclosure programme. Let's see our crew
here you go. Here Medanta hatin, meitheal. Prints your butt up
Ma. These are all Dutch people as registered in the Netherlands
The thing runs in Holland. But somehow they get this this money
these these bounty
because they're humble hosts of the internet bug bounty. There
you go.
So it's very unclear where this money came from, but $15,000 And
what does Neil do? He gives it to the freedom of the press
Foundation, which is Glenn Greenwald's outfit there.
There's little, his little freedom of the press thing and
you were there, you know,
it's Poitras green, boisterous,
greenwall
the usual suspects so
this thing smells bad.
It just smells bad.
Who says meet a guy? What's his name again?
M EHT. A very hard to find out what's a very common
name? Yeah. For Indians. What's his first name?
Neil and E L. So Neil made a donates Heartbleed bounty to
freedom of the press foundation.
Well, let's take a look at his Linked In profile.
And there you go.
That's something we can do. Neal Mehta, real security San
Francisco Bay Area computer network security doesn't say
that he's at
Google. And all the all the news reports say that he's a Google.
Well, let's see what it says this must be the guy because
he's the security guy. Right. Google's security
researcher boosted a fundraiser for online privacy tools, passes
$100,000 goal by donating the $15,000 reward he received for
helping to expose the Heartbleed bug when
you donate it to the freedom of the press thing.
That's what it is. Oh, the freedom of the press foundation
is there for what they launched the fundraiser in December to
support encryption tools that journalists and others
foundation Yeah, that's what they're doing. If you go to
freedom of the press.org you'll see that there's that on the
homepage they are selling or they're raising money to create
that you know, like their their drop thing. Hackett was very as
he's been with Google since 2008. Before that, he was in
research and development at IBM Internet security systems, which
is where they got him from, I guess. And then he was just a
book writer shall coders handbook and he graduated from
UCLA with a Bachelors of Science in the University of British
Columbia. Really, he doesn't have a lot of stuff in here.
So anyway, when I see when I see all these things, you have a
spook company who discovers this with the guy who works at the
other spook company, and then he gives the award reward which
comes from poo nose, magic $15,000 from this company in the
Netherlands. And then he gives that to the Greenwald Poydras or
nonprofit This is a little too close for comfort.
Yes, too many coincidental names that we always discuss. That was
suspicion This is an interesting little comment he's got a one
man you know they have these little things you know John's
this and that, you know, these little comments that you can put
in these LinkedIn profiles. This one is weird. He's a director.
This guy's a director of azimuth security's name's John McDonald.
Nice and iquote says, Neil owns two ovens in the same house. I
don't really think is necessary to say much more than that.
Is one for baking children. What does he do with that?
No reason to say anything. If
you look at the code, Kodama Khan's News Archive, starting
with April 8, as he did that story and OpenSSL Heartbleed bug
found by Codenomicon TechCrunch story and OpenSSL Heartbleed bug
found by Codenomicon it's all found by Codenomicon. But
there's no mention of Neil here to who found it, then and why
didn't Codenomicon get the $15,000? So why didn't they get
to split it up? See, this is this. This doesn't feel right.
Here is the story from the International Business News or
business No, the International Business Times or these
competing, kind of douchebag operations. Heartbleed bugs CEO
David Sharpe ta explains how Codenomicon found the massive
internet security breach, discover the Heartbleed bug,
this gaping hole is the key to finding Heartbleed as the
chardee A was developing a way to automatically test encryption
software for vulnerabilities. We attack the software, the
unexpected messages and see how it reacts.
How did this guy get the reward if they did it? We see.
Ya know, I think we're here we go. Ah, here's the explanatory
paragraph. It's a growing trend in Information Technology
Security world to thoroughly test and vet software. chartway
said his team discovered Heartbleed, about the same time
Google Inc did about the same time oh, about the same time, he
felt was important enough to make the general public aware of
the service throughout the bug poses, as that would encourage
companies to upgrade their services. So they were they
would coincidentally write to guys and say, Okay, let's get
let me get this straight then. This is a bug that's been in
play for two years. And coincidentally two groups found
it the exact same time.
Okay, yeah. And then the reward goes to the Greenwald. Poitras
Cabal. Yeah. Perfect.
This suspicious about any of this. And then
on Al Jazeera, we have experts or no Experts have talking about
this. And she's a lawyer from a Washington DC law firm Alicia
hunt, Nick, was actually a partner at Kelly and dry. And
Warren, this is a very big Washington DC law firm. And I'm
not quite sure why she is brought in as an expert to talk
about this, of all the people al-jazeera could get. I did find
it interesting how this this moron host talks about this,
that there
were reports, at least that came out today that the NSA not only
knew about Heartbleed, but manipulated it. Al Jazeera
reached out and the NSA denied those reports. Do you think it's
possible that the NSA knew about this? No.
No, I think she's here to run interference.
Well, here's the question, you know, for two years,
let me get away. No, that's not the question. Is that great? As
is the question? Well, here's the question. Or my other my
favourite for this, by the way for people out there want to do
this? Well, that's not the question you should be asked.
Yes,
the question you should be asking. Exactly. She says she's
a professional spinster deny
those reports. Do you think it's possible that the NSA knew about
this?
Well, here's the question. You know, for two years, this
security flaw went undetected, I think the real question is, we
don't know, who was aware of this vulnerability. We don't
know what they did with it. And that was not a question. tricky
thing with this flaw is that it doesn't leave breadcrumbs. You
know, in the past, we've you have had these data security
breaches, you've been able to look back and say, uh, huh,
here's where it happened. Here's the data that was affected.
Here's how we can affect it.
That is not true. By the way. That is not true that it doesn't
leave breadcrumbs, it does. The requests. If you if you send a
request, and it's spits back at 64k buffer, whatever it is,
definitely logs the IP address the request came from. So this
is not true, what she's saying,
here's how we can identify it. With this one, it does not leave
a trail, at least not one that we're aware of yet. And so
that's really the problem. We don't know if NSA was looking at
this. We don't know if others were looking at that data and
using it. And so that's really I think what has alarmed most
consumers is not knowing whether their data was
I got news for you, not a single consumer gives a crap. No one
cares. If you're like, Oh, I gotta change my password. Okay,
password. 123 What's
the password? 1234.
Now, and I'm trying to figure out, uh, well, I'm gonna ask you
a question. Could this affect the US military, the US defence
apparatus in the country? Now, this
is another fantastic question, which she answered was such
technical expertise.
Well, so here's it. This was one encryption tool. And the good
news that we know so far is that this wasn't an encryption tool
that was used for companies that handle highly sensitive data.
This is why this is so not true. What she talking about. She's
saying that this isn't an encryption tool. It's an
encryption tool. Really? Did what Heartbleed? Yeah,
it's the tool she thing, right?
There are other much more secure, not only encryption
tools, but layers of encryption. Because that's the key with data
security. You're not just relying on one gate, you're
relying on multiple levels, let levels of levers remains to be
seen. At this point. It doesn't seem like it's it's going to hit
at that defence level. It's going to hit at the financial
institutions. But certainly nobody should be complacent at
this point. Everybody is just running to see it. Does it
affect our companies our layers of security in any way? At
least?
That was good.
I got you on techno Well, he's
what is he afterwards? Looking?
It's funny, everybody is just, you know, it doesn't affect our
companies or layers.
Anyway, that was good.
I got you on techno. I'm hiring.
Lisa, terrific conversation that she has the privacy data, and
security.
I think there's a radio guy who they put on TV. That was really
good, baby. Yeah. Yeah. What's your favourite station? who just
gave you this fabulous prize? Z 100. That's right, Elisa. So the
spinmeisters route and and I don't know why this woman is
this lawyer is out there pretending like she knows what
she's talking about. And meanwhile, when I really start
looking on the on the boards, and I know I'm in above my head.
But when I'm reading, that open SSL is vulnerable because of its
free lists. I mean, there's a whole bunch of reasons to, you
know, just put questions behind the whole story in general, to
very strange thing, and it seems like the veracity with which the
NSA is denying this, which is they're really quite adamant.
And Bloomberg just saying Oh, yeah, That's true, which I guess
and if you take the story at its face value, this woman saying,
Oh, no bread crumbs, you can say whatever you want to say. I
guess we're all stupid in the technology community. Then maybe
it's a it's a little hit job by someone who's more effective
than Greenwald because he's out of powder.
Hmm, that's an interesting idea. But Greenwald was the most
effective.
Yeah, but he's out of powder. He I know he's been marginalised
and kicked to the curb. Yeah, even that's why, by the way,
let's back up on that a little bit. That's obviously the reason
he's back into the country to get his profile backup, right?
He's like, Oh, my God, I've lost it. No one's calling me calling
them constantly. Now. Nobody's
calling they're calling female lawyers who don't know nothing.
Right. Greenwald could have been on that show. He's a lawyer.
Yeah. Yes.
Well, that's a good point. His profile. Yeah. Let's see what
he's tweeting. This is this is good. This is good. Let's
see. Yeah, he's got to be tweeting something to get
attention.
What was he talking about? He's talking in green. Okay. He's,
he's retweeting Jill Abramson. Okay, always good. He's
congratulating. Yeah, he's congratulating someone from The
Guardian, on something was
just trying to get back in their good graces made a mistake.
He says the worst person on television is Bob Bekele,
whoever that is.
Bob Bekele is a left wing guy on that that talk show the five
Oh, that guy in the middle
is always making lewd comments. Yeah.
Yeah, and then he hasn't really been tweeting. It's only the
only three tweets today.
That April 10. April 10, April 11th. He tweeted April 12. But
he's tweeting a cup is not much.
Instead of tweeting, why don't you write something on that, on
that blog of yours grin. That's what he should be doing is
writing something on the intercept.
On his 83/3 birthday, a reminder that Daniel Ellsberg was also
smeared by that era as government loyalists as being a
Russian spy.
Now I'm still nothing new from him. Last time he wrote a an
article, which is about the the Cuban Twitter, which was not his
story. Was it a week ago
when he was travelling? No, not a week ago? Oh, yeah. Not a week
ago. He wasn't?
No, no. Okay, well, we need to keep our eye on this because I'm
the Heartbleed bug with this snappy logo. And it's a good
question. Where did this come from? All you know, that was it
was there before I even knew about it.
Ya know, the logo was right there. And it's not it's not a
unprofessional looking logo. It's not like some kid
and then there's $15,000, which all of a sudden just floats
around. I don't know. It's
no idea. No. Okay, well, another mystery solved.
Kind of. Well, no, the here's the mystery. Of course, we're
coming up on the anniversary of the Boston bombing, which was I
believe the 15th. Boston Strong. That's right. And a couple of
things happened. I didn't see meet the Meet the palm face the
press. But one of the one of the so called victims, Adrianne
Haslet Davis, who lost her leg in the 2013 bombings of the
Boston Marathon finish line was apparently not happy about the
interview she taped on Friday for this Sunday show.
Apparently, the deal was that chip Gregory would not mention
the named Sarnath. That was the delay. That was the condition
she had. You cannot mention that name. And apparently he did
because she tweeted out that she had left in tears. She can't
believe the uncensored insensitivity of chip that he
mentioned that in the interviews I don't know what they how they
handled that on the show. That was
weird. Yeah. Well, that'll be on tonight on one of the
alternatives. It makes you record it
right. National Geographic is putting together a Boston
bombers Docu drama two, and that'll aired this evening just
kind of cement in the story that they've created for you. And I'm
sure they'll have lots of video CCTV footage, except for the
actual video of evidence that no one has seen except for the
people you know, the people on the inside but not even the
governor of the great state of Massachusetts testing the actual
video of them planting these bombs. So that seems like the
Ministry of Truth is ready to submit Ain't that into your
head? And then very unfortunate this is I hate it when this
happens. Officer Dennis Simmons who was wounded during the
shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers where they were they
killed that one kid.
Oh, he died. Do you mean the one that the kid that had the cops
standing on his head? Yes, that one. And then he was run over by
his
brother. Yes. And stop his brother. Yeah, but yeah, but it
was a shootout apparently.
Somehow. Yeah. He died.
Oh, hey, he had just taken his lunch break. And he suffered a
medical emergency in the gym. A very unfortunate timing.
Oh, oh, that's not good. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's how old was
the man?
I don't think he was at all. Let me see if there's an age here.
He was
elderly. He must have been in his 70s or 80s. He was
28 What 28 He was 28 He had a medical emergency in the gym.
Let me get this straight. The guy who was involved in the
shoot outs Moses shoot outward, the cop was standing on the
brothers had and then the other brother ran him over and killed
him. Later turns out he was killed in a shootout right. And
they couldn't shoot even the tires out of the car that must
have just missed the one combat foot.
Well, this but this officer apparently was wounded during
the shootout. Probably shot and he was set to receive an award
from the President for his bravery. Ah,
and dead. Yes. There's not more play on these things. He's
coincident
deaths. He was a health nut love to do CrossFit road races play
basketball. He was according to his colleagues the picture of
health.
Well, you know, people do have sudden death syndrome.
It's just the timing is very unfortunate that it happens to
him.
Yeah. Does it get to celebrate?
I'm just saying this. There's so many people are dropping dead.
That's weird.
Well, regardless of that, I As always, I'm very thankful for
your courage, John. And I'd like to say in the morning to you,
John C. Dvorak.
Oh, well in the morning, do you Adam curry and also in the
morning delicious to see boots on the ground feet in the air
subs in the water and all the games and nights out there. Your
turn?
Yes. And um, yeah, I was I was bringing up the spreadsheet and
I'm like, why are we going to do this? But okay. Thank you to our
artists and thank you to Holy moly. Was it nick the rat that
we read? Wow, I'm back. So Nick the rat making the comeback
against Martin JJ but there were a couple of very, very close.
Close seconds in the art that we saw for episode 607 About three
candidates no agenda are generated.com Yeah, that would
definitely but it's yeah, it's it's what it is. We got to
choose the best. So we appreciate their work and and of
course in the morning to everyone in the chat room, no
agenda stream.com no agenda chat dotnet the way we run the show
is everything is based on support from the audience who we
call producers because you literally are producing the show
by giving us information giving us feedback and supporting us
with a true Intel but also financially. And just like
Hollywood we like to credit our executive producers and
anonymous and Associate Executive Producers right up
front we don't actually have an executive producer today we only
have
that highest one Oh you're right moved up. You're right. We don't
have anybody who came up to the plate let's put it that way. But
we do have a tune of $22.22 Sir lb fudge fountain apparently
changed his name every chance he gets nice is aka Brian Moses
Hall, kilo eight t i y a ham 73 And he has a note in the morning
clicking clack and close please find double making it rain once
you work out all the issues which is not happening today.
With your contractors and corrupt arson investigations
over at Club 33 Please feel free to toss Murray or Mahna Mahna
Ma, the incompetent tax accountant and Adri the
incompetent veterinarian onto the stage. Ideally, the least
structured sound one available. Okay, I guess he doesn't like
those girls. No. Open for the following combo. Putin to the

Putin to the head Shut up slave karma. I'm sorry, does it
finally Want to add a high definition version of Gitmo
nation anthem as a as a ringtone? If any producer can
get me linkage can we put that just put it in the show notes
for him? I'd be eternally grateful my emails findable at
cole clooney.org
Yeah, okay all right now let me do this oh
you've got karma
well then we can we can help them out with this little
thank you very much.
What? That was our anthem.
Who did that me? Ah, yes, that was good. One note was a little
bit off
line, a lot of reverb and I could do and some auto tune.
Auto Tune or our anonymous came in with tuner bucks from
Auckland, New Zealand. Please make this an anonymous donation
of a fan in New Zealand. Keep up the good work. Thank you. sobs
Swiss in birch makan Swiss Swiss $200 In the morning, I don't
often listen to German comedy podcast, which makes me smile
quietly while listening. Only your show makes me laugh, laugh
or giggle out loud. And makes me or lets it allows me to bear the
crazy world and all the political douchebaggery with a
smile. This is worth a lot. Please send me some job karma
for my friend Bobby. Thanks a lot. And thank you for the
excellent work and fun you provide jobs, jobs, jobs and
jobs. Let's Volker jobs. Karma. And then finally, let me just
take a quick look here. See if there's a s r e. Is it two L's I
think so. Let me look at the email Edward Farrell via Pay
Pal. Donation received was a no note that I can see. Anyway, so
Ed Farrell in Evans GA is in for 200 bucks. And that concludes
our producers and executive producers for show. Which show
are we on? 608608? Yes, yeah, I
feel bad now. Because you know, we're taking next Sunday off we
have one more show to go. And I feel like yeah,
I gotta go off on your little vacation. I'm gonna come back,
bro.
It's kind of what it feels like. Well, I find
that very distressing that these numbers are so low. And I'll
talk a bit more about that when we get to the regular segment.
Okay, but they were couldn't be the newsletter didn't get a lot
of distribution except for that guy in England. Who was bitching
about it came on the came on a Saturday so he could can't
donate on Saturday. Well, maybe he's got some religious thing
going on. Whatever he by the way, the newsletter also comes
on Wednesday, you can donate then. But yeah, I was looking at
the numbers and comparing them to last year and we have
probably I'd say 3500 more people on the mailing list and
probably I'm guessing 10x That for listening at least 35,000
More people listening yet. The donation numbers are down and
Tom terms of total donations by about 15 to 20%. In terms of the
total numbers, which was around it was it was lousy, including
subscriptions. It's about about 200 Well, you
can you can blame it on anything you want. I we're clearly just
not doing what people want. People want more you know
pinger. They want to you know, the that's what CNN the Blade
Runner got. Yeah, CNN is got double the numbers they want.
You know, the guy who killed his girlfriend, they want more news
about that.
Yeah, I don't even follow this story. What some guy killed his
girlfriend. Why is this news okay.org
Who cares slash
and help
us out people really do need some support? And of course
while you're out there, why don't you go out and propagate
our formula?
Our formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth
and I want to remind people to go to fork.org/nhl dvorak.com/na
the no agenda shows got a button and so does the no agenda
nation. Yeah. And you should go there and get a subscription our
subscribers I did a calculation. We don't have enough subscribers
that and we got a bunch of them but we don't have it's like
ludicrous. Considering the total audience size people can't. I
mean, they'll go to the movies spend 20 bucks on a bag of
popcorn. They'll get you know the the parking alone is more
than they would give us for over 24 hours a month of solid
material or unless they just rather would not know Oh,
you know, that Cody Wilson, do you remember this guy? He he did
the 3d he printed the gun. Yeah. And then he, and then he now
suddenly has a Bitcoin organisation. And he raised I
think that he brought his $50,000 on Kickstarter for
something. Hold on a second. Let me just see what he raised Cody
Wilson donation? Because it's really making me mad. Yeah,
somewhere I think it was I thought it was a Kickstarter,
but he raised the $50,000. Indiegogo. You could Yeah, with
you. You don't even have to raise the full amount. You just
take whatever you can get. So this guy, he's, he gets invited
everywhere. What do you know, the Oxford Union Society? Are
you familiar with this? Never heard of it. It's kind of it
seems like it's a TED thing.
Everything's a Ted see what it
is Oxford Oxford Union. So So I think it's wrong. Isn't that
part of the Oxford University? I don't know. It doesn't have to
be. No, but I thought this is something you would probably
know my place out of Mississippi. Oxford,
Mississippi. The Oxford Union. Here we go. Look it up. No, I
got it. I got it for you. The world's most famous debating
society.
Oh, that's the right that is out of Oxford University. Right.
That's a that's a that's a that's a serious outfit. This
Oxford University like to? Yeah, I've heard of it. Yeah. Is that
is that is it a what we call an Ivy League school?
Yeah, you're British.
Oh, it's an Ivy League school. So Cody Wilson is invited this
guy who raises $50,000 for I don't know Bitcoin for for
freedom. Print the gun? I don't know. I mean, I just wouldn't
bought one. That's easier. You bought what? We just buy our
guns. We don't have to print them.
Oh, yeah. No. Here's the thing. It's so hard to get a gun in
America. I don't know what we're gonna do. We're gonna have to
print them
well. So now I want you to listen very closely. And when
you can't handle it anymore, you're going to say stop the
tape.
I will start to torture you. We're going to change the nature
of the show from now on. It's going to be called John and Adam
try to torture each other. Let's just do this with long clips.
Yeah, just see how much they can stand. Right? Okay, I go for
that the odds, they don't care.
So this is Cody Wilson. And this is this apparently is how you
need to speak. If you want to raise money on the internet,
this distributed begins from a conversation that I and my co
founder had just two people on a phone call. And it comes from,
let's say, a place of despair. I've used the word despair
already maybe like a millennial place with despair. A certain
kind of exhaustion with particularly American politics.
But I mean, the politics of the West. What we could say is the
post political the trans political moment. Just the
liquidation of democracy, the recognition that really
democracy is kind of in this how this this transpiring? What's
threshold of indeterminacy between like, you know, the
nominal liberalism, but mostly something that's contiguous with
a with a future absolutism, something that was more
confirmed to us after the revelations of Edward Snowden,
for example, we might still talk had enough yet the Rorschach
liberalism, think liberalism. But of course, there's like an
extreme amount of force and sovereignty and executive kind
of power at work underneath this nice, broad, but very thin
facade. From that place, we thought, Well, look, we don't
want to just, it was a good conversation first. I mean, it
was like, Well, what would the world be like with your city
instantaneous access to a firearm? I mean, what would
that? How would that look? Is that even something possible? I
mean, it began from this kind of firearm place. So often, the
question is put to me, you know, why did you want to print a gun,
it wasn't like that. It was like finding, we wanted to find the
technology that would complement this kind of hypothetical
scenario we were discussing. It just came from that I mean, our
frame of mind is again, one of these extreme suspicion of
democratic and legacy institutions. And then as we
kind of decided that this is a project had
enough yet divorce.
We fascinating our footing,
and found our rhetoric. And of course, then our ambition grew,
once we realised oh my god, this is working, this is having an
effect. And then there was certain, a certain kind of, it's
got
to be the biggest blowhard at a dinner party,
ever, you know, theory that we employed a fatal strategy, which
I think we'll be able to kind of discuss toward the end of this.
So this project begins with us and can you 3d print a gun? And
if you can, doesn't that mean anyone else can do that and
taking a page out of WikiLeaks and cable gate? Doesn't that
mean that you know this kind of, is a self negation of a certain
progressive principle of the of the control or at least the
channelling of manufacture, especially manufacture of these
politically contentious art
I think he's high. I think
he's on he's on Adderall. It's not Yeah.
Well, yeah, that's I agree. I agree. It's
all crap terms all sliced together saying this and that
sound trying to sound smarter than he is. Because nobody talks
like this.
You know, I, I found online, a new age bullshit generator.
Well, that guy's been using. We exist that he was reading from
it.
nonlocality requires exploration, the world is really
radiating superpositions apart possibilities, John. Yeah, yes,
we exist. This ultrasonic energy on balance is a constant.
Consciousness consists of subatomic particles of quantum
energy. Quantum means an unfolding of the psychic.
Maybe that all seems obvious, but for us, it was like, Oh my
God, if we could do this, this seems to be on the table. We
were willing to be the people to both develop that and put that
into the public domain. So the first kind of the first kind of
premise was available, which was the language of our open source
technology. Now I
can't even I got it. I gotta bounce this off. Hold on a
second. Number 243. Confucius say lipstick on collar more
dangerous than lipstick on lip. Okay, that was yes. Very
good. Very good.
So anyway, my point is this this guy, you know, raising money
hand over fist talking at Oxford University
with this with gobbledygook people like
Oh, yes. Oh, Cody. Yes.
Oh, yeah. All right. I said the same thing to my wife this
exactly.
Okay. Do a movie quiz if you want to move right. Uh, no, no,
that might get people that gets people.
Oh, no, I have some actual stuff to talk about. Let's do let's do
something real here for a moment. Oh, I'd like to talk
about the propaganda that is climate change. Climate change.
Talk about that on the last show.
Yeah, but But I hadn't seen and Curry's Special Report Year of
extremes yet. on NBC.
What year of extremes is beautiful outside
and we were we had a year of extremes and I want you to
listen to this.
What That's right. You know, when when superstorm hurricane,
whatever you want to Big Sandy and Big Sandy it that that was
the indication that we're going to have a giant massive storm
every single year. Right. Well, and that what Sandy was last
year, right? So there should be another one this year. What? No,
I'm sorry. I'm Sandi was in 2012. That No, there was
something big last year. What was it? What was the big giant
storm last year? No, there was
no. Oh, okay. Go on. It's something is. So in the
communication of climate change, which by the way, I'm going to
say it is important to have this climate change mean, this is
this is the economy now this is everyone is so out of ideas.
that climate change was was here see
if drugs shortchange their part of the economy, yes.
But we need a legitimate, we need to flow the drug money into
something we need to produce something with it. Okay. So
we'll start with CNBC report about how we need to rebuild our
cities because this is really what what is coming out of this
report and we try to follow the trendline of this latest
IPCC report and I'm seeing it clearly now. The trend
line is sea levels rising. Okay. sea levels rising it Big Sandy,
which is what they're calling it. Big Sandy, because of the at
least a foot higher ocean level. Apparently, foot. There's no
evidence of this anywhere. They've talked about maybe an
inch or two but okay. In New York apparently was a foot,
okay. It could be four feet within another 100 years. We
need to rebuild everything. We need to rethink everything,
restructure everything and they've got guys like this.
We're about to hear on CNBC along with the you're going to
hear some woman who is she's in the climate change department,
some city
they have these now an
expert in climate change. Doug Foy advises city governments and
planners on energy efficiency and environmental protection
now didn't know this is really big. The New York Times had an
article about a Dutch guy. And he's now like, he's, he's
walking on water in America. He's the Jesus. And I know these
guys is a consultant. You have like a waterworks consultant,
typical consultant guy, bald head, shaved head, got that
Dutch axe and everyone's buying into it. Oh, yeah. And it's
easy. They're taking taxpayer money and they're building all
kinds of things which, you know, in 100 years they think will be
necessary because of climate change. Ah, so it doesn't matter
whether it's going to happen or not. It is the economy it is how
money is flowing. Unfortunately, it's taxpayer money. Urban
planners
are going to have to deal with that by planning their cities
around resiliency, around adaptation, around dealing with
the threats and consequences of more intense,
which means everything from putting storm gates out in the
ocean to moving building systems to higher floors. Parks will
also become defensive like Boston's Emerald Necklace, which
serves as both green space and a floodplain surrounding much of
the city. And then there is heat. Harriet your goning is the
new director of Sustainable Housing and Communities at the
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
There you go. There's your department of climate change
right there. Now listen to this. The she's rich is this is a real
card. This one
Her mission is to help build a clean energy economy. clean
energy
economy. Oh, I need this job. Hi. Hey, hey, so what do you do?
What do you been doing them TV? Oh, my mission is to build a
clean energy economy. Oh, blue.
Cities are looking for our infrastructure to be a lot
smarter, and smarter, smarter, smarter infrastructure to do
double duty,
double duty. It's a DEP
handle stormwater but also help keep the city cool. generate
energy, generate food. Imagine those green roofs on the tops of
buildings. What if they grew food for restaurants on the
ground floor?
restaurant food on the top of a skyscraper and let that rat skip
the whole building and be crawling with rats.
I love the imagination. What if What if What if those and you
can just see I can see people going yeah, that makes total
sense. Yeah, cuz
you see a guy at the restaurant
hey, I want routes.
I want to wear like grass fed beef from the roof. What if we
had green walls green
that could also help produce food and cool buildings.
Let me go get I'm gonna scrape some kale off the wall Hold on a
second. I want salad for lunch.
As planners imagine corporate America is watching because the
potential for profit is huge. The potential
for scam is huge.
Enormous you all the companies that are in energy systems,
energy efficiency, IT systems where people want to be
where you want to be. This is where the money's flow. This is
the commercial consultant who is he's all it's
gonna have to be smarter about, we can be smarter has to be
smarter. There's an enormous economic opportunity to this
well,
now cities are going to have to be rebuilt over the next 25
years. That means integration of technology and traditional
infrastructure. So people can use real estate in a more
efficient and cleaner way. Take transit Toyota Daimler, BMW,
they're already exploring service instead of ownership
models of their cars. And that brings us to sharing and back to
how social change will affect our cities.
Yeah. Cheering oh man,
it never ends
well, so that is the business side that CNBC then I think
you're
dead on this too. This is exactly this is although you
know there's a problem here as usual, which is that this looks
like a pot at the end of the rainbow which is everyone's
trying to you know create the rainbow but it's like you know
the watching Kleiner Perkins go deep into green and pretty much
almost breaking the company because there's no money that
when it when you actually invest in this crap unless it's a total
scam. But like if you were honestly in trying to invest in
a company
now you wouldn't do that you wouldn't you know you're not the
only thing you gotta go scam ish. Yeah, no, you have to go
get this is why it's about the cities so you can so this woman
who you heard speaking she will have a budget and she is going
to people are going to come in with a flower point presentation
and go look, here's this we got these green walls and you can
eat from it. You can eat the wall and the first thing we
can literally Yeah, I can just see some benches guy that could
literally literally literally eat the walls
Yeah, no, and we need to do a pilot project. Yeah, we only
need like give us a million dollars do a pilot project. I'm
sorry. So what am I thinking? We need? We need $10 million
pilot project just start. All right.
Now on the other. So that's CNBC. That's the business side
of General Electric. You know, this NBC empire. Now we have the
consumer side NBC, where we have Have to frightened the public.
And this is a this is so beautifully done this thing with
Ann Curry. Because they you'll hear at the end of this report,
they had an artist render everything is rendered by the
way in the CNBC you also saw the you saw the buildings with the
green all of the walls and it was like do restaurants with
green people picking the green and eating it. So this is an
issue. And make no mistake, this does work on the psyche. This is
how television operates. Yeah, it's it's no different than you
believe in that you saw the Titanic. So listen to her
report. And again, it's all about the rising sea level. The
rising sea level is where the that's the sweet spot of this
scam.
Duke scientists all agree that the sea levels are rise, I want
to get you to answer that directly. Do they all agree upon
that point?
They all did. The Duke scientists all agree on the
rising sea level. There's no
disagreement.
That is, by the way, that is the setup for the for the thought
process of the viewer. Yes, Duke scientists
all agree that the sea levels rise, I want to get you to
answer that directly. Do they all agree upon that point?
There is no disagreement at sea levels rising that is measured.
It's not a model. It's not a theory. It's none of those
things.
And what those measurements show
us Wagner says it's funny that the sea levels rising is some
sort of a sick pervert. Why is he laughing?
That's what you do when you're in on the game. But your point
is, is excellent. Mr. Dworak, let's listen to him laugh again,
answer that directly. Did they all agree upon that point? There
is
no disagreement at sea levels rising that is measured. It's
not a model. It's not a theory. It's none of those things.
And of course, this is we're all going to be very worried about
the sea level rise. And he's worried he's laughing. He's not
well, no, we're going to be worried because we're going to
be the picture we get painted is a little different than the
fact.
And what those measurements show us Wagner says is that sea level
is expected to rise at least a foot more in the next 100 years.
You see, the way they measured it is at the sea level is,
according to this guy from Duke is a foot higher than it was 100
years ago, 100 years ago. And which I, okay, I'm not I'm not a
seam otologist
that's not what I've heard. Possibly
three or four feet, possibly three or four feet. I'm sorry,
wait a
minute. Oh, from one foot to four feet?
Well, possibly it's possibly rise,
at least a foot higher. Say what it says possibly 100 feet
higher. Once you go there that? Well,
the wait for the artist's rendering
rise at least a foot more in the next 100 years? And possibly
three or four feet, maybe even more?
Maybe even, maybe less. But why say that? Let's just say maybe
even more attention. We're about to scare the bejesus out of you.
Is it your sense that people will have time to get out of the
way?
You got 100 years to get away? I think so.
I'm a slow walker
goes by and everyone goes oh my god, look at this. We're we're
standing in water. Honey, how long has this been going on?
That's
yeah, it depends on who you are, where you are and what your
resources are.
Yeah, if you're tied up in a wheelchair and split on the
coastline, yeah.
If you're in an extremely low lying area like Bangladesh,
people talk about a foot and a half of sea level rise,
displacing 10 million people. If you're in the United States, and
you have resources, it could be that what will happen is areas
right on the coast could get damaged, but that they will be
able to move to interiors.
A recent study by the World Bank lists cities around the world
with the most to lose economically from rising sea
levels. Five American cities make the top 10
Get ready American cities because smart new thinking is
coming to your town. Soon, you'll be eating green stuff off
the walls.
Miami, New York, New Orleans, Tampa, and Boston. Consulting
sea level rise maps and topographical data artists
Nikolai Lam, that
listen to this now is the artist's rendering who consulted
some maps. He looked at some maps and then he just made up
some stuff. So this is not a seem otologist This is not a
climate. He's an artist. And so just close your eyes John and
imagine the visual
tried to visualise what an America under siege from the
ocean might look like. Here's what he imagines would happen to
the Jefferson Memorial. He rose by 12 feet trophy here's the
Statue of Liberty well 25 feet
25 feet the Statue of Liberty her feet are in the water 25
feet sea level rise. This is This is disgusting prop again
oh shit too because the Statue of Liberty I've been doing is
more the feet are way more than 25 feet in the air
Lam is not a scientist and his projections may be overly
dramatic because most scientists think a 25 foot sea level rise
wouldn't happen for centuries, if ever, but these images
especially of South Florida do make you think
so they never gonna happen, but it doesn't make you think makes
you think
here's Lam's illustration of Ocean Drive in Miami Beach,
Florida, at five feet of sea level rise at 12 feet. at 25
feet he imagines the thriving beach Mecca might be underwater.
Yeah. Yeah.
So there's your NBC Comcast NIC empire, on the business side and
on the consumer side, setting up the scam. Setting.
Comcast people who are fairly conservative, are putting up
with this crap. No.
I'll stay on this for a moment, as we have.
Genda show a new meme alert everybody.
John, you and I as proficient publishers of many books are in
good fortune, my friend. There is a new category of book a new
a whole new category of writing that I think we can get in on
the ground floor. And I'm going to play this clip from NPR our
national treasure who play commercials every 15 minutes.
I'm sorry, underwriters. Listen at the end of this report and
you will hear the new category that we can slide right into
Daniel rich wrote odds against tomorrow. The protagonist is a
boy genius who spins out worst case scenarios and sells his
elaborate calculations to corporations. But not even he
predicts that a hurricane will inundate New York. And of
course, rich had no idea his novel would be so timely.
Yeah, it was eerie. But I think this is the time that we live in
now. We live in this time where our worst fears are being
realised regularly.
Rich's novel out this month is the latest in what seems to be
an emerging literary genre. Over the past decade, more and more
writers have begun to set their novels and short stories in
worlds not unlike our own, where the earth systems are noticeably
off kilter.
Can you name it? Yeah, did the name of the new genre is coming?
Do you have any clue yet?
Forget it's a bunch of possibility.
We'll just wait for it. It's coming. You'll love it.
I think we need a new type of novel to address the new type of
reality which is that we're headed towards something
Armageddon, terrifying and large and transformative. And it's the
novelists job to try to understand what what is that
doing to us?
Oh, John, I can't wait. We're gonna be so good at this.
Of course, science fiction with an environmental bent has been
around since the 1960s. Think the Drowned world by JG Ballard.
But sci fi usually takes place in a dystopian future. Clarify
happens in a dystopian present.
talked over it. CLI fi.
I'm sorry, CLI fi. CLI fi isn't climate fiction. Yes. Well,
there you go. I think they nailed it climate fiction.
But sci fi usually takes place in a dystopian future. Clarify
happens in a dystopian present. Clarify
that dystopia? Is that what they're saying? Oh, no. The
dystopian present is a is fictionalised we have so we
fictionalised modern dystopia, which by the way, my movie clip
today is one of those things from the 80s which is dystopian,
dystopian present dystopian presents would be almost any,
any of the diehard movies. Yeah, any movie at all that's being
made today, as is the dystopian? Yes. But it's not realistic.
There's this like, you know, my wife has brought this up. We
like watching certain junk TV shows that are very popular and
they're and they're like, you know, eating candy. And NCIS LA
is one of them. And NCAA my maybe says, you know if this is
this, this show, it's like as though in Los Angeles on a daily
basis. There are shootings everywhere and attempts to blow
up the city. You know, every single day. By the way, if you
watch this show, yeah, we're just Opia Yes. Well, so it's
bullcrap. Yes. It's just the entertainment. The whole climate
thing is I'm now convinced of is a form of entertainment fly by
board.
It's now clarify. I like it. And I have a little surprise for You
also think CLI fi could be like a moniker for some sort of chick
lit. But you're gonna have to think about that one for a
minute.
And it's time for another episode of guests that movie.
However, I want you to guess my movie, John. I'm turning the
tables.
Oh, that's a good one. You turn the tables on me. I didn't
expect that.
Well, you could believe Mr. pecker spec. Or you could accept
the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of
biblical proportions. What do you mean biblical?
What he means is Old Testament. Mr. Mayor, real WRATH OF GOD
type stuff. Fire and Brimstone coming down from the sky. rivers
and seas, boiling water, years of darkness, earthquakes,
volcanoes, the Dead Rising from the great human sacrifice dogs
and cats living together. Mass hysteria. I get the point. But
what if you're wrong? If I'm wrong, nothing happens. We
go to jail peacefully, quietly will enjoy it. But if I'm right,
and we can stop this thing,
Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered
voters.
Yeah, Ghostbusters. Oh, very
good. Very good.
Care, man. He's talking to me. You gotta come up with better
stuff than that.
I thought it would fit in nicely with the clarify
Ed's totally Well, that's kind of that was a dystopian
situation. Yes. Okay. Well, let now you got to play my clip. And
you gotta tell me this is I think more this is a dystopia.
Wait, wait, this is a dystopian era. And but it has all these
nice memes and I like maybe I should have you killed. Who's
gonna complain?
You always violate people's constitutional rights.
This is my cursor. And I'm the law. That means I get to violate
your constitutional rights
and now it's time for another episode I guess.
Was that Revenge Of The Goonies
Death Wish three.
It's always death rich three,
was desperate for huge difference.
Meanwhile, the only people who actually have it all figured out
are the Japanese. So ever since the Fukushima
disaster, Japan has imported large amounts of oil and gas to
replace its last nuclear power, costing 10s of billions of
dollars. And now this government says it must face reality.
You must
show the understanding that there is no energy source which
excels on all the aspects of stable supply cost and safety.
We aim to opt for an energy supply system which is
realistic, pragmatic and well balanced.
They're smart. They're turning back on their new power plants.
Yeah. geniuses. Yeah. I got two Japanese clips rate kind of
interesting. I thought, Okay. Japanese criminal justice. Even
justice has been served in Japan the longest serving man on death
row sentenced to capital punishment a massive 48 years
ago has been released from jail Israel hack Amanda has been
freed after DNA tests undermined a key piece of evidence against
him. Amid suggestions that police investigators may have
fabricated a story to frame him was false. fancast Murray Linton
and Justin McCurry report human rights defenders say the case
highlights many disturbing facts about Japan's criminal justice
system, which has conviction rates of over 95%.
So nobody's suspicious about this 95% conviction rate. And of
course, the Yakuza run freely around Japan. There's no problem
they never get arrested. That's the
5% Five Percenters, right? Yeah,
the 5% they get off exactly. And there's part two is that just
the lesser but it's interesting.
The judges in the original trial was swayed by bloodstain clothes
that allegedly belonged to a hacker mother. They included a
pair of trousers that were clearly too small for him.
Your investigators bring in vulnerable people and use
torture to get a confession out of them. This way of making
false accusations is what happened not only to hacker
Madoff but also to other suspects.
According to the head of hacker mother's legal team, his clients
is another victim of a patently unfair criminal justice system.
So we've got to serve you I
just feel they have a duty to maintain public security that
unless they can evict potentially guilty suspects will
walk free. This is why Japan's conviction rate is over 95%
balls in visual
campaigners believe hacker matters case is yet another
strong argument for the abolition of the death penalty
in Japan, the only OECD country apart from the United States
dates, let's still carries out executions.
We're going 15th of
don't get picked up, you're gonna be found guilty. I really
know I find that to be I didn't realise that the Japanese system
of criminal justice was that corrupt. They should be ashamed
of themselves. So I'm
looking forward to my first conscious visit to Japan.
Well, you've been there and your dreams. When I was a kid when I
was very, very young. I don't really remember.
me describe it for you. You're sitting in a taxi. The taxi is
not moving. Repeat.
It's not like that's Thailand. There's like
a taxi. Oh, Thailand, but apparently I've never been to
Bangkok Israel. Okay, well, that's that's Tokyo. Gotcha. So
you've been there already? Well, I haven't because usually the
taxis the guys, the taxis are covered with doilies. This could
change this is it was faddish. It reminds me of the crazy balls
of crap that these taxi drivers in New York, New York. Yeah,
those balls would sit on. Yeah, they sit on these things. They I
haven't seen that for years.
But was a Middle Eastern thing. Those? The ball
was Pakistani. Oh, yes. I asked him about those balls. Yeah,
they Swetland as well as his Oh, yeah, there's some one there was
apparently one provider of these of these mats, these ball mats.
And they were made some old lady was making them and I think when
she died, I think the businessman disappeared.
Well, of course we have as Sir Mark and Dame Astrid, in Tokyo
who will be taking care of us to some degree.
Yeah, well, they will take care of you get busted. I'll be on my
own.
Of course, by now, pretty much everybody is seeing the shoe
thrown into Hillary Clinton. Which I found a couple things to
be interesting about the episode one is that I didn't see Secret
Service guys jumping on her and covering her and you know,
standing in front of her good point. Is that some are they the
is that just something you don't do anymore? If if you know if
someone's no longer really in office?
I think you still do it. Al Gore apparently shows up over it in
California with three or four of these.
She has the detail, but it's not like they were Oh, well. Maybe
protect you, madam. No, not at all.
Well, they got there. They jumped to person I believe that
through this shoe. They didn't jump
or no. She walked out with their hands up. Oh, that's right.
She walked out. So there was no security. But well, well, no,
no, they ran. I know where you're going with this. You're
gonna say this whole thing was bull crap.
I don't know exactly. But one of our producers sent me an email
which I wanted to share. Because of course, we have people who
travel in all kinds of circles. And this is one of our Texas
producers who wishes to remain anonymous. says I'm listening to
the show. And you're once again praying for Hillary to be
elected. I want to tell you, I was at an oil industry event two
weeks ago, and the keynote was none other than Karl Rove. Being
a big shot myself, well, okay, knowing some big shots. We were
at the next table and got to talk with him for a while. I
told him my dad would wet himself if we sent him a pic. So
he posed for this one. And he actually sent me a picture of
himself and his wife with Karl Rove. And I was distracted. His
wife is smoking hot. And yeah. And then there was Karl Rove in
the picture. So there's proof. Now this guy's wives hot, love
or hate the man he knows his shit. The man has a memory for
facts, like no one I've ever known. To my surprise the guys
is very funny, too. So anyway, we were talking about Hillary
2016. And he said in all seriousness, that he and most of
the insiders of both parties don't think she's going to run.
And this is what surprises me. The main reason is her health.
He said you can't fall and hit your head disappear for a month
and show back up wearing the glasses made for brain injury
patients and expect expect to run for president. And he
repeated the same thing during his q&a After the speech. So
this could be rove really believing this it goes
completely flies in the face of our theory that she went away
for a facelift and quite honestly, the picture that was
published of her ducking for that shoe oh my goodness, she
looks like parchment. What happened to her face?
Well, there may be two Hillary's Okay. All right. It's possible.
She's not she's not so distinctive looking that you
can't have a double
right, but do you think that she's actually now not going to
run? Well,
rove doesn't think she's going to run but the ready for Hillary
thing is too Well big LSAT can do this shopping mean less
they're trying to slip Elizabeth Warren in but I'm convinced that
she will she lose to a wider audience than she gets she picks
up Massachusetts because they're let's face it Massachusetts is
extremely liberal corrupt liberal state and they would
always gonna vote a Democrat and no matter what. So she's there
she's got her you know she's full of herself but She's so
annoying. Oh, yeah, Hillary is because she doesn't show her
true colours. I believe she doesn't show her true colours
and we have in I know we have some people that would claim the
same. She's extremely well liked by her the way she presents
herself and put a you know, trial, a bunch of makeup on her
and the whole nine yards and she looks. She looks pleasant. She
has a nice smile. Look, that cackling laugh has got to go.
Obviously, I don't like this news, this news at all because I
desperately want her to run. I desperately want her to be
president. I cannot imagine a world with anyone other than
Hillary Clinton being president. Oh,
Rove is a misinformation specialist. And he's done this
before and he was way off on the last election. Who was he? Is so
I'm not buying anything. He's prognosticating me, I mean, I
think is wishful thinking because they don't these guys
know that they're really screwed if Hillary gets in cuz she's
gonna, you know, sweep it. She's gonna Yeah, he's gonna screw
these guys up.
Well, there's I can see as I predicted, they're starting to
push Jeb Bush.
Jeb Bush's he got a prayer, this latest thing he said, What was
it? He said something really stupid.
Oh, no, I had I had this clip on the last show. And I Oh, maybe
I'm maybe a trashed it. He was about immigration. And it was
actually something that really angered me after having had my
wife deported.
Oh, yeah. He's he's on the wrong side of immigration. He's also
on the wrong side of two or three other very important
issues to Republicans. So he doesn't have much of a chance. I
think there's we're sick of the bushes. Yeah, well, no, they can
you know, manipulate. We're not sick of the Clintons. Now the
one guy that's that's, you know what, we had two bushes. We only
had one Clinton. Have you only had two bushes for a total of
three terms? So the
Clinton was Secretary of State, you know, she's been around.
So the one guy that has a possibility of getting some
attention, and I don't like the guy in the least even though
he's got good creds, and you've gone over stuff before and he's
from Texas. Cruz Cruz. Yeah, I think he's a snake. He looks
like a snake. He acts like a snake and he says stuff like now
I have this clip. This is about the United States has kept the
ambassador from Iran even though they keep sending Iran or
whatever. The Iranian guy that was part of the 1979 pooch that
took over the country and took the hostage so called a hostage
crisis. Yeah. Cruise chimes in on this report,
Iran is refusing to name a new UN Ambassador after the US
blocked the man from entering our country. The White House
yesterday confirmed it would not issue a visa to an Iranian
diplomat because he has ties to the Muslim student group at the
centre of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis hostage crisis. 52
Americans were held prisoner for 444 days. Elizabeth Brown with
the latest tonight from Washington, Elizabeth.
Hi Harris, the Islamic Republic's choice for Ambassador
to the United Nations has been rejected. US officials will not
issue a visa to Hamid a Bucha laby. Press Secretary Jay Carney
pointing to his ties to the Muslim student group that held
52 Americans hostage for 444 days during the 1979 takeover of
the US Embassy in Tehran. He's also accused of helping organise
in 1993 political assassination of an Iranian dissident in Rome,
but he was never charged.
But we've communicated with the Iranians that a number of levels
and made clear our position on this and that includes
opposition that the selection was not viable, and our position
that we will not be issuing him a visa. The
White House now needs to decide if it will sign the bill passed
in Congress unanimously which prohibits the nominated
ambassador from entering the US. Senator Ted Cruz, a bill sponsor
encourages President Obama to send a strong message of
intolerance towards terrorism.
This nomination of Amida Buddha lobby and acknowledged
terrorists was intended to be a slap in the face a slap in the
face to America, a slap in the face to the 52 hostages who
spent 444 days being tortured.
Iranian officials reacting to the news writing in part it is a
regrettable decision by the US administration, which is
contravention of international law, the obligation of the host
country and The inherent right of sovereign member states to
designate their representative to the United Nations, Tehran,
making it clear that country refuses to back down on its
nomination.
When I heard this story, I had a different take on it.
Well, I might take Stein on the story so you can do that after I
give you my Ted Cruz commentary, which he was in there talking
about how these guys were kept for 400 days and tortured. Where
is the torture
that wasn't in the movie that in that wasn't in the movie?
Here's here's one of the reports of about the torture. This is a
this is as far as the torture went and this is actually was
cited in Wikipedia to the cruelty of the Iranian prison
guards became a slow form of torture. This is the torture
guards would often withhold mail from home. Telling one hostage,
Charles W. Scott, I don't see anything for you, Mr. Scott, are
you sure your wife has not found another man?
Wait, wait a minute in the movie is? What was it the State
Department finance movie? Yeah. Oh, my Aberdeen was the Special
Advisor. What was it? Argo? Argo? Yes. They did pretend to
shoot them. They put them up against the wall. Well, I'm just
telling you that was in the movie that might as well that's
Hey, CLI five.
Aces Cruise is Cruise is a terrible person.
Here's my take on it. Okay, this is a fig leaf to the Saudis.
It's completely unimportant. It's like someone went searching
oh, what can we do? What can we do? Because obviously, the Obama
administration messed up with the Saudis by making Iran kind
of the you know, all we're talking to these guys, they can
be the kings of the region. And the Saudis have now started to
talk to the Chinese and everyone's working on maybe
pricing oil differently. This is my constant theme. I think this
is just a pure fig leaf to the site. It's who gives a crap
Ambassador but look at who our ambassador
why using the word. I know what you're saying. But fig leaf is
not the proper term. Why not? That's fig leaf is the cover up?
If you're nuts. I'm sorry. There's no connection because
palm leaf a almost Olive Branch. fig leaf.
fig leaf for those naked Iranian Iranians.
Thank you for correcting me, Mr. woroch. Yes, an olive branch. I
don't know why is that a fig leaf?
I have no idea just sitting and listening and saying where's he
going with this?
It's an olive branch. If you look at who our ambassadors are
to whoever could bundle the most money is their complete but the
Anna Wintour was was a candidate for Ambassador ship it she runs
Vogue magazine. And this is This is ludicrous. It doesn't matter
if you ambassadorships or doesn't matter. Some of them are
are of course real long term. deployment, diplomats, CIA
people, like my uncle, but it really is quite irrelevant. And
this whole big story, it's just I think it's just to say, hey,
Saudis. Look, we're looking Oh, well, we had a strong stance.
And of course, Ted Cruz will stand up today. Because he's all
four of these all in on the system. I've seen guys walking
around here with and driving around with Ted Cruz bumper
stickers. I have seen this in Austin. Yeah, so you're right.
There's definitely something going on now while we're on that
guy.
So this
cruise will not play to the most of America. Play to the
independence like snake
is guide don't snake and little eyeballs. I really don't care.
I do not vote for any one of them. So it doesn't make any
difference. I'm voting for whoever runs in the Libertarian
ticket.
So we had this we had this standoff with the Bureau of Land
Management and this Bundy ranch guy.
Yeah, I have a long clip of this. I just put it he had put
it on just on the on the off chance you'd bring it up. But
what if you want to play this part of this story?
Well, let me I'd like to
have you ever better clip play it? Oh,
I have no idea. I have a clip that's related, but not
necessarily about this particular story. Now the way
it's being spun by our seed guy here in Austin, although I do
not but I believe he just copied the story. I don't think he did
any investigative reporting himself. That this whole
standoff. So the situation is we had this guy and he didn't any
didn't want to pay taxes of his cattle grazing on this land in
Nevada, which is his own land and I guess you have to pay
three bucks per cattle unit per month. About the tortoises Who
God knows what it's about. But what what turns out that it may
be about is that Harry Reid has was working on a deal with the
Chinese companies a $3 billion deal. And Harry Reid's son, I is
involved in this and they were trying to force this guy out of
his land, to put the to put up some bullcrap solar thing for
this Chinese company, and this is a real big, like $5 billion
solar farm. And the story as it's being spun here in Austin,
Texas, is that, you know, this came to light and Harry Reid's
involved and you know, even holder are somehow involved and
because they start to bubble up, they like, they they kibosh that
pull back everyone and all of a sudden it's okay. And now this
guy can have as they're going to sell his cattle give them the
fair amount for it. But this really was trying to force this
guy off his land. I'm going to believe that there's something
to that story.
I liked the hair, you read angle that makes more sense in the
story. That's that's a cover story, which is that he didn't
follow some rules about the desert tortoise. And there's
going to end up killing a butcher with these cows roaming
all over the
world. Maybe that was part of the story, but I think it was
it's, it's a part of this. Read Harry Reid seems like a real
dick.
It's just like a corrupt character, but he's in a vat
limousine and Nevada prop politician corrupt character.
Let me write this down and see if it makes sense. So it's,
I found someone to put together this this compilation. And you
know, who was Harry Reid's favourite guy to talk to guys to
bitch about? I don't know who put together a compilation of
Harry Reid every single time he said Koch brothers this year
alone on the floor of the house and that gives you an idea I
bet that this isn't even all of them because it'd be almost
impossible to catch every little one
as far as me you know I'm not afraid of the Koch brothers Koch

That guy? Well, they're probably partly tried. I think they're

kicked out. And so he's probably got a grudge. Yeah,
but that I mean, that's, that's pretty insane. And by the way,
where is our money? Koch brothers?
Yeah, well, that'll never happen. I'm gonna
show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun

one down the street from us sit Covey, Alexander Alexander is
the covey and keeps rocking it, Gao keeps rocking it. John
Sprague in San Antonio, Texas. And that's it. That's all we
got. It wasn't that much. But I do want to read a note from
Lester donor who's came in under the anonymous number at 4999.
But he I'm gonna read the note without saying his name, saw the
SR 71 blackbird on the newsletter, which is my sign to
donate more than my monthly subscription. My dad was a
navigator reconnaissance officer backseater from the 73 to 80
flying the SR 71 and laughed out loud and assured me that George
HW Bush conspiracy theory was false. Which is the idea that he
was doing some deal and he
did he flew back on this on the on the Blackbird.
Yeah, what? orally?
Have you ever seen the Blackboard up close? Oh, yeah.
And you're not allowed to touch it, which I did, of course,
because
I saw you could touch it. I don't think so. Because this was
just yeah, this was at Moffett Field. They had the YouTube they
had a black bird.
I don't think you're allowed that you can't touch that
because it has a very specific coating that comes off on your
hands. I did you
decommission jet? It wasn't even in business.
I know. Okay. Well, I
don't know. I
know I touched it touched. I touched it in the yelled at me.
Well, they should
yell at you. Anyway. I saw the YouTube which is another pretty
plain but sr 71 is quite just like, wow, what planet did this
thing come from?
Anyway? Okay. Just a serious note. In all seriousness, we the
whole bargain here is value for value. And we provide analysis
we try to cut through I mean, if you really feel that you're
getting a good deal elsewhere, fine. I think that we do provide
the value, we need to have you step up. And I agree, John, I
think that people just aren't doing it.
Well, you know, they're taking us for granted. And this is,
this is this is good. Again, we're making it look too easy.
And, you know, so it'll be the
show wasn't on the air. What would you listen to as an
alternative? There's nothing like the show Nobody does what
we do, we don't we cut through stuff. That way nobody else can
do they don't do and they'll never do and you'll never and
you're as and the idea is to make the listener prosperous, in
spirit and in financial return you by knowing some of these or
taking another look as different news stories from different
perspectives, namely this perspectives that we provide,
often in disagreement, but there's still perspectives that
are different and unusual. you prosper from that because it
gives you a thought edge on your fellow employees, people at the
office at cocktail parties, whatever you use this
information for. Maybe you don't use it for anything and you just
get a better night's sleep. leap is beside the point is something
positive happened so you wouldn't be listened to the show
in the first place. Because of that you literally are required
to help us if you want to keep doing this otherwise you're just
screwing yourself.
I couldn't have said it better. That's exactly what it is. And
you're also leading a healthier life.
And it's a diet to be proven that in the past Yeah,
but you are leading a healthier life. And just look next time
you hear the conversation and people talking to you I'm sure
you're at the office or you're in the classroom or maybe a room
wherever you hang out. I'm sure people are talking about the the
portray a waitress trial, whatever that guy is shot his
wife, okay. And also you can just fly out and that's still
talking about the pinger.
And there will be people you can stand by them and listen and you
hear them exchanging network memes at each other. Yeah, these
are robots.
Yeah, ignore them at all costs, and know that you are living a
healthier life
with the blues. Jennifer, you're gay.
Good news. There's one thing you must remember no agenda and

and we congratulate EJ pyres that his dad James spires
actually sent the birthday wishes EJ celebrated yesterday.
From Sergey D a big birthday shout out to his friend Rebecca
who will be celebrating her 33rd birthday at 55 south in San Jose
today. Sir Keith Chamberlain congratulate the lovely and
gracious Karen Chamberlain's 71 Is what she turned on the 19 and
a belated Happy Birthday to our dear friend farmer Chris here in
Austin, Texas who turned 40 Last Saturday happy birthday from
your buds here the best podcast in the universe.
That's what Nikki texted me about.
She texted me about what
Yeah, but farmer Chris I had it written down of course, but she
wanted to make sure I didn't forget. Oh, Chris. Farmer Chris
is he's like the propagator of the formula at the Austin
market.
Good. Oh, yeah. Yes, the handout.
Um, oh, yeah. Give them CDs. And when we had those bags with 33
bags, I gave them those and um, so this weekend, we have the all
the finance ministers are meeting. It's the the G 20
finance ministers. And of course, this is where, you know,
the rumour is that since the United States didn't sign off on
the IMF 2010 reforms, they're all going to come up with their
own secret system and screw us. And Charlie Rose had a nice
little gig. Nice gig. He was able to kick off the whole thing
there. And he did a one on one chat with the we need a nickname
for her for the guard. Do we not have a nickname for her?
Christine Lagarde? No, we've
never come up with anything.
Well, old Leatherhead. Bam nailed it. Wow. Here's old
letterhead and and Charles just have two clips, just to kind of
set the stage of how the elites of the world of finance are
thinking and pretty much everybody is at this shebang,
Ukraine,
Ukraine, tell me what the IMF can do. We'll do wants to do in
whatever order you looking at you here
that's the setup for what's going on. For those of you so
this is a good example. When you're at the office and people
say yeah, man, we're really saving Ukraine from that, that
Putin aihole Putin, man, we got it. We got to protect those
people. That Putin is like he's evil, evil, evil, evil evil.
Now, listen to what's really happening.
Okay. What we want to do because it's our mission is to help.
I'm from the government. I'm here to help. Ah, hello.
Leatherhead? Yeah, the country
wants our help and the country wants our help and the help of
the international community. Yeah, we're here to serve
Ukraine as a member as paid it's do is paying it's it's, it's
reimbursement because we are it, isn't it?
They already owe the IMF money, which is nice help.
What have we done? The moment we were called, we sent a team on
the grounded whether they are crisis management experts.
I could. I can just imagine this John. It's like IMF,
oh, Leatherhead here. Yes, we need crisis management Ukraine
quick come to keep, okay, we'll send the team, we're on our way,
we're gonna save the day.
They know how to look under the skin of a country. They know how
to open the books,
I'm going to look under the skin of your country, the books
and check against the reality. They did all that moved into
negotiation mode. And we have now what we call a staff
agreement between the Ukrainian authorities and stuff.
I think there's like a staph infection,
but I'm not sure. These are due diligence people. Yeah, exactly.
We look under the skin of the country. I don't that might
hurt. We know we have a vase of making you talk to get the
reality of what's really happening with your books,
Ukrainian authorities and staff staff to address the key issues,
the exchange rate, the fiscal consolidation paths,
the fiscal consolidation path, that is lots of words for
austerity, the energy
price, the structural reforms, the governance, reform all of
them. So now, Ukraine has to demonstrate its determination.
So there are a few things that they have to do. And I'm very
pleased that this morning they adopted in Parliament, a new
procurement law,
these are conditions of procurement law, to the IMF is
is and roses right on the money These are conditions. So what
that means is, what they can buy, and from whom. This this is
economic hitman stuff in front of your very eyes is fantastic
to watch. And the Cavaliers that old Leatherhead here is to say,
Oh, perfect.
These are conditions before we move into the active phase when
we actually disburse funds. So once they've satisfied all these
conditions,
once they've satisfied the condition, what do you think
happens then John,
and they write a check, a really big
one. Probably one of those giant publisher Clearing House checks.
With physical they check for honour
submit to the board of the IMF, that includes everybody around
the table. I
love this. Whenever they talk about either the bricks, or
everybody around the table. They they never quite mentioned
Russia, including Russia, including everybody else.
Everybody else, everybody else admit the programme to give
support to Ukraine, anywhere between 14 and $18 billion,
which will primarily go to Russia
over the course of two years. And we're not going to give a
big check, oh, why not? The day after it will be paid in
instalments. As they progress along the lines of the programme
that they have adopt. So
the IMF will help design the reforms that are necessary in
order to make this commitment on the part of the IMF. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's right, like they did with Greece. Yeah.
It is totally Greece, our big Czech. Cyprus. Yeah. Now, this
was a very I don't have one other clip here. Very
interesting. Here's what Rosa
told me about this sexuality. It's in your DNA.
Some reason I confused Ron clip. This is about inflation. And I
would, I would like to hear your take on inflation, and then
we'll hear Charlie Rose. And then Christine Lagarde take on
inflation. What exactly is inflation? And what is it used
for? And is it good or bad?
Well, there's a lot of theories on whether it's good or bad. But
you're asking the wrong question.
The question is,
what? Thank you.
So inflation is the process of allowing the net worth of the
country to increase as the value of the currency decreases. In a
vivid sense, there's an actually a word for this, and I'm gonna
have to dig it up a minute to think of what it was It's theft.
Well, Bev was say that,
well, this is so the idea is the way I understand it. The Wait,
wait, wait, wait, the way it works? Is this a natural process
where you have a shortage to dig can only be solved by raising
the prices? You know, this is an economic model, that by raising
the prices so the people that can afford these items will get
them because they'll pay more? It's almost like creating an
auction market on the fly is very similar in that regard. And
and then, but that brings everybody everybody now to get
that same product, they have to either make more money, so they
demand more money and they and by demanding more money, the
decrease of inflationary spiral, which adds to the it's, it's a
complicated scam,
scam. It's theft. So the way I have always understood do it is
you create inflation by inflating the money supply?
That's one way to do it. Certainly. That's the easiest
way. And that way the purchasing power of the money you hold in
your hand actually goes down. Right? But this is an economic
system. So that everything so there is growth, but it's really
a bunch of bankers scamming everybody.
That's That's it some level, you can say that.
Let's listen to Charlie Rose, and then to Leatherhead.
I'm trained in the law as you are, but you went on and learn
economics. And I didn't. Well, he's trained
in the law. I didn't know what that means. He's a lawyer.
I think Charlie's a lawyer. I
didn't know he was a lawyer. I
know, I didn't know. We know. She's a lawyer. Because she ran
Baker McCambridge
lawyers, his lawyers manager, yes.
I always thought that inflation was a bad thing. But it seemed
to me that there's a conversation about inflation
that I don't quite understand. What is it that we need to know
about the impact of inflation on the global economy today?
Well, first of all, I regard you as highly read and trained in
all sorts of matters. So to this counter economic understanding
is a bit of an overstate. And mine is probably not better than
yours.
I certainly hope so.
Elites having fun on the podium.
Well, common sense sometimes is worth a lot more than highly,
highly sophisticated theories. But back to inflation, I think,
you know, it was a few decades back, particularly when, when
monetary policies were, you know, declared better as
flexible. A certain amount of inflation was determined as good
and helpful, helpful for growth. Because if you know that, it
might be a bit more expensive tomorrow, or the day or next
week, it prompts you to decide to spend, you buy equity or you
buy clothes, you decide to go for the cars that you always
wanted to have, and so on and so forth. Because it's a bargain
today, and it will be more expensive tomorrow,
these people must be rolling in dough. They're buying clothes to
buy that car, they always wanted because you'll be more expensive
tomorrow. This is how the elites view the world. This is this is
very interesting.
Well, there's a couple of things I want to interrupt here for a
second. One of the things about inflation is you often have the
problem with hyperinflation, which is different than
inflation. normal inflation is what she's talking about this,
but hyperinflation and some of these other things that can
happen aren't really beneficial to the banks. I mean, it might
be because people will throw their money into a bank that can
keep up with the inflation. The Brazilian banks are fairly,
fairly good at doing this. But what would real big inflation
manages to do as it makes money so cheap, cheap that if you if
you took out a loan for like $100,000, and you have runaway
inflation, now you can pay back the loan with cheaper money?
screwing the banks, right? So it's a double edged
sword, that's hyperinflation. Now we're just talking about
inflation, in my in my view, is just transferring money from the
citizenry, to the elites, sway
I see it. Well, that's what you see everything. Yes,
shouldn't be too much of it, because otherwise you will run
into a very disrupted scene and certain degree of inflation is
good, which is why quite a few monetary systems adopted either
the objective of inflation like the ECB, or a target, like the
Fed, and some of them are banned within which to keep inflation
so that it's under control, but high enough so that it
stimulates growth going forward.
Never in school. Did anyone teach me about this?
Yeah, they don't teach you about anything in school. No. And I
want to also mentioned something else, since we're talking about
these kinds of things. deflation, which is the
opposite, which does happen is usually causes a depression it's
called and it creates deflation, where people can't sell
anything. So they keep dropping the price, which is deflation,
that the point that the reason these these people that are
these, this group of thinkers thinks a little bit of inflation
is good, because deflation does just the opposite. If you think
you're gonna buy say gonna buy a new, a new computer, and if you
think that computer is going to cost less,
the longer you wait, and then I'm not going to do anything.
You just keep waiting.
Yes, get so damn cheap and get it for free. But okay, go on.
Oh, no, that's not good for the economy.
I just found that. Interesting how these people run our lives.
Of course they do. But not everyone thinks about it in
those terms. Those
people don't care. They just want to talk about the missing
plane and the dead Guy, somebody,
I love looking at this stuff. I really do I find it fascinating.
And when these people are all getting together and all,
all term and this explanation for this one thing and it just
doesn't coming to me and I'm gonna have to bring it up in the
next show, I'll doubt
find it. Hey, good news about Haiti.
There's never good news about Haiti.
There's nothing but good news. Well, what another US hotel is
headed to
Haiti. Oh, that's fantastic.
Hilton Worldwide will bring a one. A 152 room mid price hotel,
the Hades capital. Oh, this was announced by the church going to
be in Port au Prince is
not going to be in that we're going to be right by the
airport.
Oh, an airport hotel. That's right that nobody has to go into
town.
It's right. The new Hilton Garden Inn will be the third us
brand Did you know that we already have a 106 room Best
Western Premier. Nice and under construction of 175. Room
Marriott.
Why don't they just legalised gambling you know it solved the
islands problems
these these hotels are of course for the economic hitman that are
in there. Now before the end, of course, the Heineken people who
are investing their 100 million dollars in their brewery. They
already have a brewery there. Apparently they're doing
upgrades apparently.
Oh, well, you gotta get these people to drink more beer.
This would be the first Hilton Garden Hotel in the Caribbean.
Also the first time Hilton will be in Haiti. It's funny how that
works with people still. What would they What did what did
they have again? What illness did they have John?
Was it wasn't good. It was they had a car they had strep throat
was
out and it was the pooping disease. What
was it? Cholera? Yes. Cholera.
That's
how does it that's not really normal. They have
I think they got it from the from the UN
peacekeepers, right. Yes, obviously. Yes.
Well, who knows? I can't say if was purpose or not say that?
Sure. So this hotel will be done and open for business just in
time for President Michel Martelly for his 2016 rebid or
after his five year presidential term so it'd be perfect this
everyone will have a place to stay?
Well, just so we know that we're not just stealing goods and
services and things from the Haitians we do it to ourselves
to apparently every so often we strike they try to keep it out
of the news so the public at large doesn't know this is going
on. I never heard this story stepped on France van cat. It's
a very elaborate story with the FBI is decided to some old fart.
Nine year old man has been collecting stuff all his life.
And they figured they just confiscate it and figure out
later what to do about this. The personal team at the FBI heard
about this story.
Have you ever either as an adult or perhaps as a child collected
anything up stamps or just shells? Well, in the US FBI
agents have seized a series of arrowheads, pots, skulls, and
even a full skeleton from a 91 year old antiques enthusiast
who's been collecting these items since childhood. Jonathan
crane reports it remains somewhat of a mystery how on
earth he came into the possession of so many ancient
relics
in Sleepy rural Indiana and FBI investigations underway. Over
the past few days, officers have been loading trucks with a
treasure trove of priceless goods somebody thinks may have
been acquired illegally, but this is no mafia jobs. The house
belongs to this man. 91 year old Donald Miller, a world war two
veteran. His amateur museum connected by underground tunnels
looks like an Aladdin's cave. amassed over eight decades,
Miller's collection ranges from Native American tools to ancient
Chinese pottery. The experts are almost speechless.
Frankly overwhelmed. I have never seen a collection like
this in my entire life except for some of the largest museums.
The FBI is continuing to scrutinise the artefacts with
the aim of returning them to their countries of origin. But
the law in this area is complex. Authorities won't say if Miller
has indeed committed a crime
over the last several months and FBI investigation has determined
that Mr. Miller may have knowingly and unknowingly
collected artefacts, relics and objects of cultural patrimony in
violation of several treaties, federal state statues,
Milla is cooperating with the FBI. The pension is never made a
secret of his vast collection is to take schoolchildren on tours
of his museum, which even featured on local television a
few years ago.
Do you have any analysis of this because I've seen the report
this has been out for a couple of weeks now.
Well, this is I think, I don't really have have any analysis
that's that's anything but superficial
then you're no better than CNN. The guy
Yeah, but they don't say anything they just run the
story. The guy obviously some neighbour has a feud with the
guy so they trumped up this thing and call the FBI This is
to say something see something turn your neighbour in there's
no there's no reason in the world for this to happen in the
first place the FBI sees it as something they can steal. This
is just thievery they don't have any evidence about anything. The
guy just said well you know it may have may or may not have
done something we don't know but we're we're taking all the stuff
and all the videos dirt Hall and all the crap out of his place.
He's a hoarder let's face it, Archivist had it museum he could
have put a museum together and had a little shop with a museum
and that'd be a fine Gift Shop gift shop. But you know, he's
not going to sell anything so it's not a gift shop but he can
make a museum as you know people do this all the time people
collect lots of art and I mean this happens all the time.
There's some buddies like 90 years old they find the guy dies
and he's got an art collection to die for. And they put a
museum up and put the art in there this is very common so
what is the with this guy? What makes him so special that
they're stealing his stuff?
Is Are you perhaps highlighting the story because it could
happen to someone you know, it's possible as someone you know,
any amateur archivist who has like Confucius say book for
example.
Possibly the actual Confucius say book
we wonder what he's doing with this Confucius say book.
We don't trust him. He's really we he wears crocs.
I don't wear crocs you do? No, no, no, no. Yes, users vetoes.
Oh, I'm sorry. They're they're not even crocs. They're fake
crocs to fake cry.
Don't wear those anymore. Unless you're talking about done.
They've worn out. I've warmed you off.
Well, what what shoes do you have on right now?
I'm wearing socks. I got socks on? I got no shoes.
What kind of socks?
Gold toe?
Really? Okay, black, black gold. Gold toe. Are they knee highs?
No, no. They're just the regular ones. knee high ones are they
they're hard to find in the prom. When you get the knee
highs. You never always get knee high. So you have tools sites
out of the thing. You got one long sock and one short sock. I
gotta tell you so you feel like anybody and my wife. And my
daughter too. By the way. They laugh at my socks when I once in
a while I'll wear shorts and sneakers. I'm not you know,
like, they're like, Yeah, shorts. And I just had white
socks. And they're laughing at me. Look at you douche bag. And
they make me wear the socks that owned the don't even cover your
ankle. Are you familiar with
sock? Let's Yeah, that's so
Oh, and I hate him. But they knew they looked like an idiot.
Where No, they'd say they all think I look good.
No, no, no. Yes. Probably look good to other men to have you
know what I mean?
Well, yeah,
no trying to marry you off. But
now when I when I look around, and I see dudes with those with
the White Sox pulled up halfway up their calf and like, Yeah, I
think it looks better. We just had the little socket, but it's
it's an annoying experience if you're not used to it. Because
you feel like your ankles are exposed.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't do that.
Well, did. You don't have a wife living with you?
That's true. This is a good another good reason to have all
kinds of separate houses. You have such
an amazing lifestyle.
So apparently, the doctors never seen this show. And it's a
slightly influential show. They're talking about Coachella.
Oh, the douchebag concert thing? Yeah,
yeah, that the concert where everyone gets a stone in the
desert and hundreds of dollars to get in. It's
ridiculous. Yeah, it's it's a Burning Man for douchebags.
So So and I said, so twice here. I'm sorry. The there I got this
little segment. And I have to say now this is one of those
shows that slightly is influential is a California Los
Angeles show. And I have to give these guys credit for soft
pedalling. Pot. And I just thought it was very cool that
they did this.
I really don't know what to play. The doctors. Yeah, I don't
see that. I don't see oh, I'm sorry. This is
like, Oh, I could just record that.
Girls and women but some boys too. We can't forget about that.
Going through these drastic, aggressive, dangerous diet
measures. Then going into a situation that we just heard
about hot, dehydration, alcohol, some illicit drugs. You're
literally taking your life in your hands and you're engaged in
this
kind of scary and of course they're not doing like nice
relaxing. Some people are smoking pot kind of drugs.
They're doing designer drugs, salts and MDMA and Mali and
drugs that'll keep you awake for three days because that's what
they want to do.
This Coachella sounds wonderful all of
a sudden. You know, the funny thing is, generally speaking, at
least when I was a kid, the kind of rock concerts were it was
primarily pot because it was yes, it was because the music
and the pot went together. Well, I don't see Bong,
Elena. No, no, no, I gotta stop you right there. I've made some
study of this. Good. The today's music John, you know, not the
Green Day stuff that you like those Green Day kids. But let's
just if you look at DJ Toretto in Coachella has all kinds of
music. So you'll have your pop music. But House Music techno
music. A lot of even a lot of the hip hop fusion that the kids
are all into these days, is designed and recorded and
created on ecstasy, cocaine, meth. The drug goes with the
music it I think it always had
no, it makes sense that you weren't you're saying I'm I'm
just now I'm expressing myself as an old kid, we had pot and we
liked it to have sugar in the poem.
We played Rolling Stones can't get no satisfaction. Yeah, no,
it's an i So this ride thing that I go to the spin class.
So it's essentially complimentary to the drugs
totally. Okay. Totally. It would make nothing but sense. It's
completely
in line. In fact, I believe that that is why you and I can't
really stand a lot of the music because we're not doing the
proper drugs.
That would make nothing but sense. Yeah. Yeah. So it's
exclusive. It's very exclusionary, not exclusionary.
Yes. This music is exclusionary? Yes, exactly. That's what made
it makes nothing but since
I now I have never done ecstasy. But I
would have never done it. I look forward to doing it. But I don't
and I'm not going to know it because I know too many people
have dead eyes after doing it too much. Oh,
I just want to do it once. I from what I understand you. It's
very lovey.
Yeah, don't have sex on ecstasy. That's the rule. Don't have
I thought that's the whole point. Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Listen, look
into it. No, you do not have sex on ecstasy because it's it's so
intense because everything your your sensories are Yes. Ecstasy.
Yeah, that sex becomes very boring after that. You won't
like sex.
Oh,
now I understand. That's where the rope comes in. Yay.
All right. Oh, no, get all right.
We need to continue on our quest to make Vladimir Putin look as
evil as possible. In our media, the mainstream media, this aired
on CNBC but I believe it's from the National which is the
Scandinavian broadcaster CBC. No, no, I think this aired on
CNBC as well. This is where it was recorded from. They have a
deal. They have a hand off deal, the syndication deal. Nice. And
it was a portrait of it was about 20 minutes. A portrait of
Putin and the people who came in to talk I only pulled a couple
clips, two people in particular. The number one guy who I start
with here is Michael Hayden.
Oh, he, of course, criminal, the guy who was all in on torture
that guy. Yeah, that guy that way. I think I'd love to have a
beer with that guy. Because he just seems like a very talkative
person with a lot of interesting stories. Whatever you do,
don't do ecstasy with him. Ya know, with the rope. I've got
meth in my pocket. So here he is. Now he was the director of
the CIA. He also ran the NSA. And of course he is now you can
you can have him show up for anything as long as it's a slam
and Putin and it's really contradictory. Some of the
things he says but it's interesting to hear his take on
on Putin, which of course falls in line with everything we are
led to believe.
And I think he's thoroughly KGB. But I think the most important
aspect of that KGB heritage that KGB personnel money within
Vladimir Putin is an incredibly conspiratorial view of the
world.
He's a conspiracy theorist
Michael Hayden was for years, a man to whom the White House
turned for advice. General, former director of the CIA and
of the electronic journal,
it was in the Navy
could be about the National Security Agency. He has read
Putin his file, so to speak. What does that mean being having
been KGB? I mean, it means something to you clearly, I'm
not sure it means anything to the ordinary person.
He's got historic grievances. He's already complained about
the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was this
is the they love pulling this out? Do we actually have on
record somewhere where he said this
accase Air Force? I'm sorry? No, we've never had I've never,
I mean, never heard it,
I'm going to look for it. He entered the Soviet Union, find a
lot of Russians have historic grievances. But Putin because of
his KGB background, attributes, those problems to others, and
their actions, who are constantly aggressively plotting
against wants the Soviet Union. And now, the Russian Federation.
I'm very happy to tell you that I think they think we at CIA and
the American security establishment, spent just about
every waking moment, every day, thinking about Russia. And the
truth of the matter is, we didn't think about Russia very
much while I was director, maybe even to a fault.
Interesting. What were you doing then, dude, when thinking about
it, really,
I think maybe the most most telling aspect of the KGB
experience for him, and how it shapes his thinking, is that he
really does view this as zero sum. I win, you lose. If you
win, I lose.
Here's what I found from 2005. And this is actually boom, okay,
this is a quote, Russian President Vladimir Putin told
the nation Monday that the collapse of the Soviet Empire
was, quote, was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the
century. And it fostered separatist movements inside
Russia. The epidemic of collapse has spilled over to Russia
itself. He said, referring to the separatist movements as
those in Chechnya is a little different than I think what what
people are saying now, first and foremost, direct quote, it is
worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was
the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. For
as for the Russian people, it became a genuine tragedy 10s of
millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves
beyond the fringes of Russian territory. That's not exactly
the way it's being quoted. Now. Would you say that's fair?
No, it's they make it they're painting a picture of some guy
holed up somewhere. Joe fretting wringing his hands about all the
greatness of the Soviet Union if I was only the guy running that
Brian got here underneath me, right.
Which is, which is very different. Yeah. to Now, this
profile of turns to very interesting person, Masha,
Gessen. Masha Gessen is a a lesbian, Russian lesbian, a
lesbian. And she has a she wrote a book about Putin but she
really grew up in America with her brother and they went to I
think she went to college in Boston. And she resurfaced.
Actually she used to she was back in Russia. She had she she
worked for the State Department home. I have it here. She ran.
What is that? What is that State Department radio station that we
had over there Voice of America. Radio Liberty? Oh, radio? Yes.
Well, no, it's it's a state department funded thing. And
then she actually met with Putin. And then two days later,
everybody at Radio Liberty got fired, and they pulled the
licence. And so Radio Liberty was no longer on the air. She
also, interestingly enough, is writing a book about the
Tsarnaev brothers. It's funny, so she somebody's writing these
books for somebody I would say, and she's somebody she is not
whatever she whatever she does or is I don't care, but she
comes across as very, very angry and grouchy. And she's very
clear about how Putin thinks she's going to ratchet it up one
notch for us in this profile of Putin,
I think is your run of the mill mediocre dictator. There are a
lot of mediocre men who will have become Currently
I love the music in the background to accent your music
you
did you put that? Oh no, no, this is part of the point of the
music. Yeah, well
I also mediocre men becoming dictators. Little hate for men,
they're hilarious and
anti male.
That's I feel a little a little slighted by that and there have
been some pretty nasty women around to I guess it
takes Vladimir Putin more personally. She personifies the
Russia that Putin seems to detest. She's openly gay,
intellectual a dissenter. Her biography of Putin, The Man
Without her face has been translated into several
languages. Putin she says I've expanded his notion of Russian
manliness to include contempt for gays uses it says Ghassan to
encourage xenophobia.
In the sense that is very good shorthand for the West.
Everybody in Oregon for the West. Yeah, everybody
understands that. That their foreign agents were foreign
agents. Why are they foreign agents? Because Russia didn't
have gay people until the Soviet Union collapsed. Clear Western
important.
If you're gay, you're a Spy. Spy at that level. See if you're
gay, you're well you were a spy Masha Gessen. You were working
for the US State Department. So alright, so and I really
disapprove of misusing LGBTQ Qi a P, for political motives this
way. I really have to disapprove of this. And she is she's just
using this meme that was created that that Putin hates gays.
Well, clearly he's a homo himself. It's obvious and is and
that He dogged every every gay person is a spy. It's no I do
not like when people do this.
On the whole here's a man who has dismantled. The electoral
system in Russia taken over the media, thrown in his opponents
internship, had some people killed has analysed parts of it
leaked to neighbouring countries. Is
everything she said there. Obama's die No.
Are you trying to take my punch line?
At least two neighbouring countries is threatening the
rest of the world with unbridled aggression has scapegoated
minorities and instigated violence against them. That's
bad enough. He's a monster. He's a monster.
So this is what you're supposed to believe. And while a lot of
that may be very true, I think a lot the same can be said for I
don't know. American presidents.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm sure they're doing the same sort of
counter programming in the Soviet Soviet Union, Russia
within the schools, you know, calling us out for one thing or
another,
but it's counterproductive to the to the growth of the human
race.
Well, that's why these people in Russia should be listening to
the no agenda show. Well, some
of them are and one of them donates regularly as one of one
Don's probably he's the only listener
one Sukhoi of Alexander. Alexander COVID. So COVID
Alexander Alexander, so COVID that yeah, they do last name
first.
Well, that's just the way it comes through on Pay Pal. I
don't know what Xander Sukkot I like to call the Alexander
better. We'll just call that too. We'll just call them
Alexander the Great
okay. I like it.
I got Russian friends. We have a sir Jean is of dubious descent.
Yes, he is. Yeah, and well, I'm having dinner with him tonight.
I'm gonna I'm gonna drill down into he grew up in St.
Petersburg. Oh, he'll tell me some stuff. I hope
I put you on that I put I did this last show I'm gonna do it
more commonly and so we're almost at the end here and I
don't have a lot of stuff I really need to play septic the
car has got some action going on there. The Central African
Republic Do you know we're gonna send 12,000 to the EU and is now
going to send 12,000 troops in there which means Americans foot
feet on the ground will end up being part of it. This is
beyond the we have there was a 1500 French troops who can't
can't take care of business or already know they
can't do crap and neither can then then the chatty is just
left. And you can play this car killings. They were
mostly just civilians trying to go about their daily business
when they were caught in the crossfire police say at least 30
people have been killed in fighting between anti balaka and
Muslim fighters in the town of decode in the Central African
Republic. Police say The fighting lasted more than four
hours with stray bullets, killing most of those who died
and happen Despite the arrival in the capital Bungie of the
first European Union troops, a small contingent of just 55, who
immediately began conducting their first patrols in sensitive
parts of the city. To date, the UN Security Council is expected
to authorise the deployment of some 12,000 new troops there to
help stem the spiral of unrest.
Wow. Okay, we got to pay attention to that. I wonder how
many you're going to be us peacekeepers?
We're going to have to deal with that. But Play Part Two. And I
think there's some messaging going on here. There's, I think
the international community is getting the message. I don't
think the American public, I think this message is going to
be kept out of our mainstream media is going to be kind of
passed over because this is an anti, this is a message to the
Muslim communities in Africa. What's that store
population in particular, that there are concerns that ethnic
cleansing is already underway.
Now with the anti black activities. Almost 80% of the
Muslim population has been forced, forcibly displaced. I
went there myself last month and saw all the houses and their
stores and shops totally destroyed.
The Muslim population is estimated to have dropped from
15 to 2%. Critics argue that the 12,000 strong UN peacekeeping
force set to deploy in September will be too little too late.
Wow. Hmm.
So there's something going on that's, that's above just this
little battle. This is a messaging thing. And it's
telling these guys that they're gonna, you know, the whole thing
began when they get some power. Early, they didn't have enough
of the percentage of the population to pull this off. And
they started, you know, riding roughshod over the Christian
majority, and then they things just fell out of control. And
these guys got rousted and run out of the country. Yep. And I
think this is a message of some sort and just going to follow up
as such.
I have a quick little ditty here in the
shadow puppet theatre.
Haven't done that in a while. The shadow puppet theatre? Yeah.
Our Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen
Sebelius resigned.
Right after
this funny I saw a posting from one of my Obama bot friends.
Literally saying, we knew this right. No drama, Obama makes his
numbers and then quietly gets rid of the old problems.
Like, wow, okay, you're all in on that.
That's the meme. That's the meme. Yeah. And of course,
you know, Sebelius said, no, no, this said, you know, this. No,
she wasn't kicked out or anything. Unfortunately, she was
interviewed by the Huffington Post, just last week. You know,
they do video over there. They have that Russia horrible video.
But yes, they do have that old the woman in the girl used to be
on our T. or not the one who resigned but some other woman?
Well, here's, here's the little little banter they had a week
ago.
All right now, Secretary Sebelius, this obviously has
been a long hard push to get this programme up and running. I
think not only technically politically, as most has been
very difficult. So do you see yourself sticking around until
November for round two?
Well, absolutely. I think the goal really is to
I edited this down a little bit just to get to the end part,
we'll have affordable health care options. That's really what
is at the end of the day, this is the most satisfying work I've
ever done. I think it I've had the chance to visit people in
the call centre. And now these are folks in 17 sites around the
country. There are 14,000 of them on the job today. That's
what keeps me going every day. And that's why I stick around.
Alright, so you're staying was not done yet.
It gets better. No, it can't get better. Yeah, Canada, Canada,
Canada.
So you're staying for for a while. I'm in
I told you I'd give it really I get the clip. Oh, that's That's
very
funny. That's kind of you. So I was following the same story and
I have a clip. I just wanted to well, before you finish that,
because my clip has well, okay, just you're just talking about
Sebelius right. Yeah.
Tell me about Sebelius. Okay. Did you see when she her
resignation speech?
Yeah, what she lost the page. I don't even get that right. I
just
want to play that for people.
Hand me a phone with someone on the other end saying thank you.
Their stories are so heartening about finally feeling secure and
knowing they can take care of themselves and their families.
Unfortunately, a pages missing just
can't even she's just a screw up. I
just I just wanted to finish my shadow puppet theatre then I'll
be quiet I was this is a whole lead up. Okay? The woman
replacing her.
That's what I want to get to. Okay. And this clip will be
relevant. I just want to play this revolving door clip because
she is part of the revolt or group. Yes, but there's a new
member of the revolving door club. Let's just say
she wasn't fired immediately. And I think the President was
wise to get through that milestone we've all been sort of
looking at which is that 7 million sign up, they achieved
that she gets to leave with some grace. She was a policy person

over she also very strong on management not only worked as
the the Assistant Chief of Staff for Clinton also worked for the
