Good to see everybody who loves God in different ways killing
each other. Good work, everybody. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak. It's Thursday, July 10 2014. Time via Gitmo nation
media assassination episode six, three. This is no agenda,
exercising deep, decarbonisation direct from FEMA Region six. And
I'm Travis high tide out in the capital of the drone Star State
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and from
Northern Silicon Valley where I've got the red book back from
downstairs where I've kept it and I've got a lot of explaining
to do. I'm John C. Dvorak. Scale. The
man early.
I don't think he was tiny. No,
no, no, we're early. We have not started before. 11 o'clock.
Central time. Yeah. In yours.
Yeah, we made it by two minutes. Yeah, I mean, it's earlier than
then we will actually where we normally started about, you
know, 10 After the hour, and this
is because you fell out of bed.
Pretty much. I think I might as well get up
as I was. I was up early to I had house guests. Oh, Miss
Mickey is is off. She's in Mexico visiting her God child,
which was her big birthday present to go to Mexico. Second
prize was two weeks in Mexico
was the old joke, but when was your birthday?
It was on the eighth. So I have her in the in the birthday
lineup.
Okay, cool. So, yeah. So chose for her birthday. She leaves
you?
Yes. Well, maybe. Well, you know how the Dutch are with the
birthdays and always have to do the, you know, decorate
everything in the show. I didn't have to do that this year. I
just had to get up at 430
to decorate everything the in the way I hear described as
everyone takes you take chairs. Like as many as you have in the
house. You push them up against the wall. Big circle, big
circle, okay, in a big circle up against the wall. And then
everyone sits in the chairs and sits there silently for I guess
no,
no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm getting everyone everyone comes
in. Of course you congratulate every member of the family. So
it's you would say to me, Adam, Congratulations with your wife's
birthday. Ah, yeah. It's
interesting. Pleasant. Oh, it's
very pleasant. No, you decorate the you have a birthday chair.
And that's decorated.
The person has to sit in at the Yes, absolutely. And what do
they do? They sit there and they had to put up with what?
Well, the same the same people. The same people whose you were
at someone's birthday the last week and they all come in? They
sit in the big circle and they talk about? I don't know, you
know? What they take for bad breath?
Sounds like you might Oh, I see why you are so amenable to the
ham radio. See? That's easy. It sounds like the guys that are
casually chatting on
the ham. And now but it's kind of the 14th reflector. Yeah. 14,
Charlie, oh, boy, Charlie. Charlie, oh, boy, someone's been
listening. Anyway, so coming through town on his way on their
way to Houston. Dave Jones and his lovely wife stopped by and
they stayed overnight. And I kind of in in between the boxes
here. Dave Jones is develop the freedom controller. He's the
sole developer on that car developer guy. Yeah. Well, no,
he's a developer guys. The Freedom controller guy. Yeah,
he's the freedom controller guy. It's not just developer guy. But
developer guy freedom controller makes everything run it's what
makes the show notes run and it's everything. It's fantastic.
And so it took them out to dinner and it was really nice.
If he's from Alabama, not from Alabama.
No
pleasant state. Sounds pretty cool. You've never been to
Alabama
I don't think so here's
what here's what your first impression of Alabama swingers
not talking about the Hicks that are in Alabama all the fireworks
they sell when they're during Fourth of July where you can buy
like essentially a quarter stick of dynamite on the roadside.
Yeah, besides that, you driving down these six lane freeways. I
swear I did this once. I'm going up to some six lane freeway from
somewhere to somewhere and there was nobody on either side of the
road. I went the fast lane stopped dead. Got out of my car
looked around. It was nothing.
It'll dance off by When did a jig? I could have
it was astonishing. The they have because of all the you know
the types of Polit politicians they've had over the years. They
have just got the federal government to give them all
kinds of infrastructure that is just like perfect, outrageous
and that I look out the window here. And you see the freeway
stopped dead.
So different so they brought me a MacAllan 12 as a gift There's
a house gift, which was very nice.
Oh, yeah, it would be good.
And you know there they have three kids. It
took me a minute to think of what you're talking about seeing
as a shotgun.
Metalla MacAllan? 12 gauge Yeah, exactly. Yes. Right. It's good.
Well, I'd had a sip of it last night he might as well be. And
they and it was funny because he they got three kids who they're
homeschooling. So they were for them. They were very Yeah, help.
Yeah. And they were very happy to be away. Just the two of
them. Three kids homeschooling.
That's a lot. Been a burden.
They assured me they never put a leash on their kids.
Good for them. Don't go to airport slot. I guess you drive
around. They
try. Exactly. Alright, John, we need to we need to figure out
what's going on here.
Well, let's play the I got the background clip. Oh, hold on
second. You might as well play that just for a little slight
intro. I'm
a little behind. Hold on a second. I wasn't I wasn't
prepared for that. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm here so early today.
I'm just okay background clip. Does it say background clip?
No, it says Brazil. Oh, okay. There's something here.
First, it was a battering for Brazil. The World Cup hosts have
been apologizing to fans after they crashed out of their own
tournament. In a seven one a semi final defeat to Germany of
batch that broke all kinds of records. Microsoft closer netted
five goals in the first 29 minutes alone and making him the
World Cups all time top scorer. By the time Oscar Claude won
back in the 90th minutes Brazilian fans were already
cheering for the Germans and police were out in force around
the stadium to prevent riots kept in Dahveed. Louise has
offered his apologies to all Brazilians. While coach Scolari
said it was the worst day of his life.
Now before you say anything, because I know you want to
launch into something here. I have a feeling if we had had a
show somewhere between Sunday and the game yesterday, we may
have come up with some alternative theories. I'm not
trying to backpedal or anything, but you didn't. You're doing
well, the No, because the news came out Monday in the
Netherlands, that the Dutch team had to leave their hotel. They
were only booked through the semi finals, because all the
sponsors were coming in for the for the for the big final match.
And I'm thinking if those guys booked in and they knew they
were getting kicked out by the semi finals, that's kind of
telling. Yeah.
Well, it is kind of telling it it would have maybe led us to
some new malice and maybe maybe
and by the way, I think that the one thing we can still agree on
is this stuff is rigged.
Well, there's the I had I've gone through a number of
iterations on what happened because I know people will
probably bet on the game based on the fact that we're never
wrong. Oh, yeah,
I got it. I got a couple of weeks. I got some emails like
Well, too bad your donation is all gone. I bet the money away
Thanks. Well, that
was one guy No, he was betting on the game was gonna give us a
piece of the action. It was gonna give us some vague Yeah,
so Well, one thing that would be really insulting thing here,
which kind of gets overlooked is that German guys now the leading
scorer in World Cup history. And you know who he replaces the top
scorer in World Cup history was the very famous Ronaldo from
Brazil. And I think that was not
anyway isn't Ronaldo, Portugal? No, no, no, the
the Renault de Ronaldo. Okay. Yes, still, right. Okay, who led
to Rennell Dino and some of these other guys who have
evolved from this get character was really a great player.
And he's historically Germany versus Brazil. Brazil has always
always beat them.
Always. Yeah, Germany, one nil 2141217. One's a bit much
like we know what the hell we're talking about.
That's all beside the point. Here's what here's what I first
thought. I thought that this game was rigged in favor of
Brazil because of the nature of the Brazilians. And they're
gonna wreck the place and all the rest of it. And so they and
what we didn't think about was the possibility that that
gangsters and we're in Brazil, a corrupt country has got a lot of
work to gangsters who have been rousted from the favelas in the
hills, because, you know, the Brazilians had been doing that
they'd been given tearing down those shanty towns, which are on
the sides of all the all the hills and with all the best
views of Rio and everyplace in Sao Paulo to a lesser extent and
so they went and they decided to rig the game and they've just
and to intimidate the tennis and we're going to they broke one
guys back,
right the Brazilian the star player,
disarmed player and then they also took the team captain, who
apparently the Brazilians felt was even more important. He's
out of the game and said said there's probably you could have
said we're gonna kill someone if you don't
blow this game. No, it will kill it will kill your family.
The Brazilians say to themselves. Yeah, the Brazilian
players say, Okay, we'll lose the game and we're going to, you
know, let's just don't play, which is what it looked like it
so they just yeah, you know, the game was horrible. So they said,
Let we'll just lose big. And so and they did and it's and it
became like it was obvious that there's something happened
something was wrong because you can even if you're a crap team
you can defend, you know, you can defend, play a very
defensive game and keep the score down, especially if you're
a data level because the Brazilians have a lot of great
players. Okay, that was my first thought, right? And there's
nothing you can do about that because we were thinking about
the corruption at the FIFO level. Then I said, Well, let's
go up another notch and say it was Pfeiffer. And here's, we say
FIFA, laflife of FIFA. So it's FIFA. So here's the logic for
this Brazil's got to lose because the team that has to win
it's got to be based on the same basic thesis that we've always
had along the way, right, which was the team with the economic
strife and the Spanish like situation has to be the team
that wins in that country is Argentina. I got a clip. Good,
started peacefully enough Argentine co workers protesting
against layoffs. That clashes on the pan America on a highway
leading into one as air as soon erupted as angry pickets
confronted police. The auto Park company Lear has announced mass
redundancies blaming them on the current recession. Unions say
it's the fault of the government pandering to American companies
in unpopular debt negotiations. But again, this is happening
because President Cristina Fernandez government is doing
business and negotiating with imperialists to pay the
fraudulent external debt. And for this reason, it has to
maintain good relations with the American company owners. Let
them present North America, Argentina has until July the
30th to reach a deal with hedge funds suing for full repayment
of sovereign bonds which the country defaulted on in 2002.
It's been holding out but the American Supreme Court where the
case was heard ruled in favor of the funds payment will send
Argentina into his second default in 13 years. Yeah,
exactly. And of course, our hedge funds are pretty funny,
they can get away with this, but they did. Anyway. So So the
logic would be this, you cannot have a final with Brazil and
Argentina for for a couple of different reasons. One is that
it doesn't it takes the European out, I didn't I you know, I
should have thought about this. The the audience is worldwide
and you don't want South America, two countries sitting
right next to it's just like, it's like the the World Series
in 1989, where the Giants play the A's. I mean, you know, say
you go across the bridge, and there's the other team, right?
Nobody's interested in this game is that people in Northern
California, right. And so you got to keep one of the European
teams in the finals. And if you want Argentina to win, that
means it has to be Germany, and you definitely don't want
Argentina playing Brazil in the finals, because that would cause
some riots, and it would cause all kinds of strife. And it
would be bad to see these two countries, you know, the two
countries butting they're right next to each other in the
finals. So Argent, so Brazil had to be taken out, they decided to
throw the game in a massive way. This is like the punch drunk
fighter that throws a boxing match. And the guy takes a wild
swing at him, misses him and the guy goes down and he's out.
That's essentially what we got to see. And so the winner in we
didn't, I don't think we were thinking clearly. I also think
that the FIFA people were Pfeiffer were there we're not
going to be intimidated by Brazil and their their threats,
essentially that and we were we were actually buying into the
idea that Brazil is going to burn down the place if they
don't win, and the Brazilians are saying the same thing. So
they didn't they weren't going to be pushed around. You guys
wanted the cup. You got the cup. Now just live with what we're
doing, which is making a political statement in favor of
Argentina
and there are elections coming up in Brazil.
Right, I know that's gonna be funny. Now, some people think it
does overthrow the government. Whatever the case was, we I
think if we'd go back to the basic no agenda theses that we
normally use to analyze these things, and we had recognized
the Argentina situation a little weak since we didn't talk a lot
about it. I think we may have gotten this correct right off
the bat instead of picking Brazil and the only reason we
picked Brazil because of the intimidation factor that they're
going to burn down the place which they've which is not
happening this is well that's because if if you get trounced
you know that that level it's not like it was a close game and
you could say it was you know, just you just didn't play you
gave up right whatever the case I think we out thought ourselves
and instead of really being objective like we've been in the
past
I'm I think we just got it wrong.
Well, that's what I mean because we just because I think we've
had it wrong. We weren't thinking along the lines that we
thought of in the past.
Well, there's there's one other thing that now comes to mind.
Now we have a final with the two countries that have each have a
living Pope. And one is out and one is now the Pope.
Yeah, that's funny. I don't know that would affect the outcome of
the game. The game is going to Argentina, that's all there is
to it. There's no way Germany is going to be allowed to win this
game.
That if well, if they do win, oh, man.
If they do win, then we can stop. You know, we just have to
assume that this game wasn't rigged. Because that way we
that's a bet
I find that hard to believe. I mean, in looking at the news
about the Dutch game, you know, so the fall Louisville, how the
coach the train or the manager or whatever, for the Dutch, so
he didn't do his switcheroo, putting into long tall goalie
with the the genius move that he made. I guess he couldn't do
right. I don't know. I don't know how this works. But he
didn't do that. It didn't didn't happen. And now in the
newspapers this morning, he's saying two of the players didn't
want to actually take any penalty kicks. They refused to
do it. And so not all of his best players apparently or his
best penalty kickers were kicking penalties. Yeah,
I don't think so. Coach, or a best guy. I don't feel like it.
He says Rome flower was not his first choice to take penalty
kicks.
A game was rigged to it was
nil nil? Yeah, well
yeah, yes, you keep the game nil nil which last soccer match. And
then you've had do these kicks in at the kicks determine who
wins and you all you had to do is have the goalie in your play
anyway. So I agree with you I think we still need to look at
the the geopolitical aspect for our for our prediction. And in
this case, that would have to be Argentina since Germany just
doesn't well there's other issues going on with Germany but
it does not have the geopolitical issues and actual
riots already taking place. And it would certainly calm
everybody down considering what's happening. Which is
pretty much the only the only thesis our our predictions are
ever based that would
be theirs. We just stuck with that we'd be we'd be writing
instead of we're getting carried away with overran analysis,
which is what happened to us. And then it was also this will
also give the South America a World Cup which I don't believe
they've ever won. I don't know. I don't know either. Anyway,
it'll be the good news is it'll be Sunday after the show. So if
anything happens that makes us change your mind we can still
get to it just before that happened. Yeah, Germany goes
into depression
it's not gonna happen. Everything go boom
boom boom boom dive straight straight to this some stuff
happening with
Deutsche by the way this also falls into the get Germany
thing. Yeah. Oh, man. Argentina has to win
the Deutschland blitzkrieg. This is crazy. Now we now we have a
second spy.
Oh, I didn't know. Yeah. All right. No, I just see this. Oh,
this is great.
I got a couple quick clips here at sea.
tensions remain high between the United States and Germany after
another alleged case of spying. 31 year old German Secret
Service employee was arrested just last week he suspected of
selling secrets to America. Well, today Chancellor Angela
Merkel made her very first public remarks on the case. Dig
in the hive Windows unbiased admitted.
If the allegations are true, it would be for me a clear
contradiction to what I consider to be a trustful cooperation
between agencies and partners.
Some politicians from Chancellor Merkel's own party are demanding
that US intelligence operatives be expelled from Germany. But
the investigation into the alleged double agent is expected
to take months. So there's a chance that political pressure
may drop off unless there are more surprises in a city with a
rich and murky history of spying. Oh, I love the smell
Putin.
Whoa, no. Well, interestingly so a lot has happened since this
this news broke. Which was a yesterday or Yeah, early
yesterday. And and we'll get we'll be talking about Gregory
Rado, Raph later on. But he, uh, he was been doing the rounds
about his huge revelation. And we definitely need to analyze
that But he goes on CNN with Jake Tapper. And this is one of
those things where it's so obvious that Jake has been told
you need to ask this question. Otherwise Glenn won't come on
your show or whatever. And he had this and he had to state the
This. I want to get to your story, Glenn in a second. But
first, Glenn, you suggested there there in Wired magazine
interview that there might be a second NSA leaker out there, in
addition to Snowden. I'm wondering, has Snowden confirmed
that? It's not? It's confirmed, it's just that there have been
stories published by other media outlets about NSA, using NSA
documents that very notably didn't indicate that Edward
Snowden was Snowden was the source for the document or
meeting, I think, to the reasonable suspicion that
there's another source or sources providing documents to
media outlets. All right, back to your story, right. All right.
Yeah, I did whatever you told me to do. Now there's, there's a
couple angles to this. Now, first of all, this is based upon
a news that was reported in Germany, which came from Jacob
Appelbaum. You remember this guy? He's the tour guy that is
our favorite guy. Yeah. And all remember him? Right? As you
would call him, the Tor phony?
Yeah, well, I've never called him that. But I like it,
as you might you might have.
And all of a sudden, he's now a former WikiLeaks, and if so
what? What happened there. And of course, he lives in Berlin
with the entire faction of whatever they are. And now we
have a second leaker and it's coming from Germany, you watch
this is going to swing around, we've got everything is all anti
Germany, we're now scrutinizing Commerce Bank, which is
Germany's second bank, I think, number two bank over there, just
like the French that dealing with Iran, you know, illegally
because we said you can't do that.
I think we're dropping hints about some things that show up
in these news reports. This, this was from the News Hour,
this is the clip, and sa WaPo. This is what this was just a
little, little explanation of that article that ran in the
Washington Post with a couple of it was very weirdly presented,
because it kind of talks about the NSA collecting all this
stuff on everybody, you know, you know, Twitter, photos,
selfies, they all have some reason, by the way, do not post
pictures like that. Anyway, so they end but they drop a couple
of little tidbits in here that I think were put there just to get
to it was a signal to somebody for something. In
an article published today, The Washington Post said it reviewed
more than 160,000 emails and instant message conversations
and another 8000 documents that were collected between 2009 and
2012. The paper says ordinary internet users, American and non
American alike, far outnumber legally targeted foreigners in
the communications intercepted by the National Security Agency.
The paper reports that nearly half of the files contain
details that the NSA identified as being from US citizens or
residents. The report also found that some of the communications
captured by the NSA did contain significant intelligence value,
including, quote, a secret overseas nuclear project, double
dealing by an extensible ally, and the identities of aggressive
intruders into us computer networks.
So we have three items that they just dropped in with no
anything. We got no detail, right, which I find offensive.
By the way, it doesn't take that much work in a row. Somebody's
doing a secret nook, which I believe could be Israel, or
China, or who knows who Japan could be anyone. Double dealing
is gotta be Germany. And then the third one, what was the
third one? That was? Oh, yeah, people spying on us. We got
their names. Yeah. So okay, fine. But the secret nuke and
the double dealing with the two that got my attention with no
details. Oh, where are these people? Why
provide details? This is no, you know, that whole the whole
article, The Washington Post, they say all that, you know,
they just say this stuff, but they say, well, we can publish
this. We're not going to show you this. The state or the
Department of Defense asked us not to do this. Now it's even
though we know from very early on when Guardian editors were
talking with Charlie Rose, that all these outlets pretty much
always go to the government first to say can we publish this
Daddy, can I go out to play and stay in?
So I would presume that that you just kind of think everybody is
in play in this. It is really one big. It's a Yeah, it's a
script. It's a big spectacle. And the latest of course is now
this is actually the second report that came out this
morning. Now we have dudes in uniform in Germany. Actual dudes
in uniform I'm going in front of the press talking about the
spying
an employee of Germany's defense ministry is at the center of the
latest investigation. His Berlin home and the ministry offices
have been searched by police. The German media says the
alleged spy is from the military and worked in the departments
dealing with international security. The official response
to those reports has been short on detail
can in here be fleeting? This is a bit long, I can confirm that
there are investigations of the federal state prosecution, which
fall into the defense ministries area of responsibility. I cannot
go into further details within the bounds I can tell you that
we are taking this case very seriously within 500 am so other
countries lawmakers. Thus, these are still Nadja Tateishi code
island in knollmann.
This espionage activity causes enormous diplomatic damage. We
can't see what information is supposed to be collected in this
way. But what we can see is substantial damage and public
opinion.
And that's interesting. They say substantial damage in public
opinion. Oh, really? So do the Germans now hate us?
Dido I haven't noticed.
I haven't seen anything about the public opinion.
A pm I mean, if I think that's what they're trying to twist it
that way. Exactly. This is clearly because those double
dealing Germans you know you're working with but it is what it's
all about Snowden.
You know, we don't have a Merkel shout.
Merc, Merc? Oh, it was no good shortly.
This is no good. Well, so there's that we're gonna just
flow into to something else that happened. So now we have, of
course, we still have Sarah Harrison, writing her book in
Berlin. And now let's recap Sarah Harrison. She came into
WikiLeaks as an intern, and rumored as far as I'm pretty
convinced about the evidence she was Julian Assange, his
girlfriend. And now she is living in exile investigative
journalist which is okay. I have never called myself a
journalist. I'm still a disc jockey. I'm a I'm a this are
record at I'm a legal groupie. But she is what
you're a legal group as opposed to an illegal group and what
kind of a group you are, you know, like
Law Group, like lawyer, lawyer lawyer group. Yeah.
Yeah, you're like I suck
up to lawyers, I guess. Cool. Now, so she just just to make
matters worse, even though she is British, is she was with
Edward Snowden in the Moscow airport. And then she was in
Moscow with him for
she was well she was well groomed. When she was Was she
looked great. She had a sexy sexy as black dress on oh, by
the way, I have the title for her book. Now. It's official.
Okay, at blowing the whistle. No. I made it up. So she's in
Berlin, and she's now confronted with it. She's fronting this
phony baloney courage Foundation, which is essentially
a way to take money away from Assange. And Biden's aside.
We were talking about this in a previous show. I think it just
genius. Now. The Assange can't do anything.
No, no. And here's what's troubling. Is she the story has
gone from she doesn't want to go back to England because of their
section seven rule, which is the one that they use on Glenn
Greenwald's husband and detained him for 12 hours and then of
course let him go even though he had apparently a USB stick
encrypted with with stuff on it. She says she would be afraid she
would incriminate incriminate herself or being no one has said
you can't come back into the country. I don't believe that
has happened. She is claiming that she can't go back because
she doesn't want to get into trouble that no one has said
we're going to arrest you
get into trouble for what she has some phony lame reason but
this is nonsense. Now here's the set up so much spotlight would
be on her to such an extreme. Exactly exactly what happened.
Exactly.
And you know her her parents are from elite circle. She's from
Seven Oaks, well known spooky territory i
Six. And
so the Deutsch Avella, German broadcasting who by the way also
hosted Amy Goodman, when she had her interview with our friend
Sarah Harrison. They recall that Yep. That when there was a lot
of Boga tivity in that interview, we played clips from
that. So they had the global media conference. This is a kind
of like Learn next web German style dare nextbase VanBuren.
And it's a, it's a big to do and she does a keynote, which of
course, I watched and she does a lot of, um, um, um, and I have a
very small part of hers. But what I wanted to play for you
was the intro. This is the woman from the door to Deutsche
Avella, and German broadcasting. And her introduction of Sarah is
very, very telling for the connection and relationships she
has currently. And also you'll hear later the disdain for the
United States it she's an interesting piece of the puzzle,
which I think will unfold.
Wonderful. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Wonderful. Good
morning.
Wonderful. Good morning. This is how we should say Wonderful.
Good morning, John. Good morning, John. Wonderful. Good
morning. How are you? It's very small. Login, John. Yawn have
wonderful morning.
Wonderful. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Wonderful. Good
morning, Sarah. And we are going to go into the third day after a
brilliant boat trip last night brilliant boat trip.
Oh, a boat trip be brilliant in any way.
At least it wasn't a train trip. This is good news. It was just a
boat trip. Brilliant.
So if you know, getting right into the aspects that we have
started in that we have continued to focus on the last
couple of days, the NSA scandal. And before that WikiLeaks, you
may remember that there are just sort of two male names
associated with the whole thing, first of all, Julian Assange.
And then of course, Edward Snowden, yesterday morning, we
had the greetings of Glenn Greenwald. But ladies and
gentlemen, of course for them to do what they did. They also need
counterparts, they need people that they work together with
trusted people, competent people, people who are brave,
just as much as they
are. Okay, this is interesting. This is good positioning.
You're Yeah, brave,
brave, brave, people who are just as brave as they are.
Why is this conference in English?
Because it needs these messages. And she doesn't just do it
in Germany, right? Well, there's actually German conference. Why
is she speaking in English?
Because she's introducing, first of all the German speak perfect
English. She's introducing Sarah, who's going Why
would they do a conference in English? I don't care if they
speak great English.
It's a message for the rest of the world. Oh, message? I'm
sorry. I was what was I thinking? Yes.
And she will make mention that Sarah's German is not quite good
enough, but almost to do this, which is another ages all
messaging.
And today, we have a lady here who has been incredibly brave,
incredibly brave.
Not only has she worked together with Julian Assange on WikiLeaks
as both a legal adviser and a journalist, excuse
me, a legal adviser. Well, what? I'm sorry, she's a lawyer. Now.
Let me think let me look at her. No, not according to her own
wiki pedia legal advisor. So it's positioning here and
investigative journalist. All right.
But then she said, Well, I'm going to help this guy, Edward
Snowden, get out of Hong Kong, try and find somewhere to stay.
And the backlash of that is, was one would think that the UK is
just sort of easy to go to certainly if you have a European
passport. Sarah cannot go back to her home.
Right? Whereas you can go back. Sorry, this is not entirely
truthful, me,
okay. She's been in Germany now for about nine months, and
almost getting ready to do this speech in German, but she's
opted to do it in English, will now hear a very different story.
And afterwards, there will be a little bit of time for q&a. So
ladies and gentlemen, welcome with me, a very brave lady,
Sarah Harrison, who was already showing the Dutch of Ella logo
on an interview broadcast yesterday on Democracy Now,
together with Amy Goodman, and we saw Dutch Avella sort of
everywhere. That was made possible by some other
colleagues.
This is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're on we're on Amy
Goodman War and Peace Report. Oh, our logo. Good work. Because
that about
No, no, maybe it was a quid pro quo, free publicity for exchange
something like that. Very much,
sir or microphone,
to listening to you to listen to your story and to see how we
could progress it and how maybe you You could get some support
from other people here, Sarah Harrison.
I have, like a one minute clip from her because her speech is
boring. It's completely boring. It's just rehashing stuff. But
she starts off. And it's all America has shit. America is bad
screw America. And they're just this. It's about what you call
it. unaccountable power is the title of her speech. And so
let's listen to her talk about America's, by the way, I'm not
saying she's wrong. I'm just saying this is all part of the
Blitzkrieg between America and Deutschland. This is, this is
part of that script,
unaccountable power when you're talking about governments, while
many people especially in the West will say, well, obviously,
this is the case in places like Russia, China, places like that.
But here in the West, we live in democracies, we have many
systems of checks and balances, we can vote. So the question is,
Is this really true? But your hand in the air if you have a
phone?
Oh, I have a phone. No, I don't have a phone actually. Okay. So
you're all being
tracked, spied upon your microphone can be turned on,
they can be listened. They can listen to your conversations.
How many of you voted for that to happen? Not one.
Okay.
All right. So that's kind of specious. Yeah. All right.
So here we have a power that is reaching into all of our lives,
can listen to everything and see everything that we're doing if
they want to. And yet, none of us voted for it. I would say
that that's a pretty powerful mechanism that has been not held
to account until it came to Edward Snowden.
I'm sorry. We might.
So we choose to vote on everything. Apparently, what
she's implying, yeah, so let's have a vote. Can Can you turn on
my thing? By the way? Have you ever been down? Anybody? Yeah,
sure. One day. Oh, you ever heard somebody but value? Oh,
yeah.
Because more than than once, because I'm always at the top of
the list with a for Adam.
I am. Have you ever listened in on a butt dial call? I am the go
to but but dial guy actually listens in I recorded if I can.
Sure. Well, most of the time. It's just somebody's in their
pocket. You can't hear anything.
Yeah, exactly. It's rarely sound like rarely any good.
So these guys are listening in to what but okay, we'll let that
slide.
When Julian actually started WikiLeaks, he thought that most
submissions would come from places like Russia or China. And
we have had many submissions from all over the world,
including Russia and China. But these were not our largest
leaks. And the other largest leaks in the decades who have
also come from the same country that ousted the United States.
And through these here, this United States, United States,
you know, no mention of the GCHQ or anything or the five eyes,
which she is going to say now, but it's all United States. And
then she has trouble remembering who else we
can see the truly unaccountable power of today, the United
States working with its partners and allies, especially the five
eyes, which is of course, Canada. UK, Australia, New
Zealand with the United States. Oh, yeah. United
States. Just remember United States.
She's been well, she's got her fingers going. I want to
Yeah. Okay. Now now, apparently, um, this is crazy. Edward
Snowden has 18 lawyers. Everybody is Ed Snowden, his
lawyer all of a sudden, B has and
I tell you something. Yeah. I'm Ed Snowden lawyer. Make it 19
attorney that I think you should call attorney attorney. And we
have the Jazlyn Radek she's the one who gets to when she gets
excited talks all funny,
freezing when he talks like this Yeah, we have his dad has got
crazy dad we don't know who he is even his dad got
the got the high end guy. And now there's Wolfgang is German
lawyer
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden would like to return to the
United States according to his lawyer. He's currently living in
Russia where he was granted a year's asylum. Speaking in
Germany, his lawyer said Snowden hope to one day be able to go
back to the US although he faces criminal espionage charges.
And that is and that's his German lawyer Wolfgang. So the
script is unfolding and
very poorly written in my opinion as writer I could have
done better
well the thing that and we can go to this now if you want but I
remember I recalling us recalls discussing weeks ago that and it
was based on so I can't I tried finding it. I don't maybe I only
read it somewhere and we didn't talk somewhere I read if
Palestine and Israel go added that that would really be the
beginning of the meltdown, the global meltdown. And it was in
relation to, to Ukraine to the Middle East to everything. And
now this of course is happening. Do you recall us talking about
that? Okay, must be my crazy crazy now you
probably think you're mulling it over we're going to do it on the
show. And then we ended up talking about something else
I've never had possibly.
And so now you know, this is now taking place. We can take a
little side journey, if you wish. Journey. It's it's very
interesting to see the reporting. We have here's NBC
taking the side of the palate of the Palestinians in Gaza. There
were no sirens warning of Israel's assault on the Strip.
A woman escaping with her children.
A man is hurt shouting, where is the world. Others just running
by the wounded. In the rubble of Israel's airstrike, a man is
trapped. With a little help. He is rescued. The might of
Israel's military unleashed on Gaza, targeting suspected
launching sites and the home of suspected militants. Authorities
they're saying this one striker killed seven including three
children. This future will
be very bad and very harsh for us. But what we can do what we
can do
so funny when he says what we can do I know so many Israeli
guys. And that's always they've always instead of what can we do
they always say what we can do something weird about their
language, how this reverses. MSNBC also now this is a ronin
ProMedia
is generally on the Palestinian side of this debate. They won't
go overboard and becoming Jew haters, right generally
speaking, well
well, Ronen, the Frank Sinatra kid over there on MSNBC. Now he
had a Nora. And I caught on with some other dude, I don't know
what that was. And she's a, she's a scholar, Palestinian
American scholar, Middle East, the University of Berkeley. And
she pushes back. But then he also says something very
interesting here.
I just wanted to point out that it's actually misleading to say
that this is an attack on Hamas, it's actually an attack on the
Palestinian civilian population within the Gaza Strip,
which is a good point. What she's saying there is, if you
look at the number
15,000 members of Hamas may live, but which is home to about
1.9 million Palestinians and then as far as Mr. Miller
suggestion that the USDA on the sidelines, but it's a little
hard for the US to do when it's already neck deep in this
conflict. It provides Israel with $3.1 billion annually. It
has protected Israel from anytime type of accountability
within the UN system within legal systems abroad and within
the US legal system here at home it's because of this US provided
impunity because of this
system. Yeah, what is the US legal system got to do with
anything I have no idea
that just just talk financial
and military support that we see what you call a movie but
actually would amount to a massacre repeating itself every
few years and in fact for the US to be involved. I say either
suspend aid to Israel per its own laws the Foreign Assistance
Act or the its military trade agreements with Israel and that
it has to abide by human rights law or that it removes itself
altogether and get out of the way so that the international
system can hold Israel to justice this triangle we won't
go
on and have a little discussion we get of a moral one we could
try to combine the two meanwhile back on planet Earth fair this
here comes
the point that she made there as to whether they're attacking
Hamas or attacking civilians. I mean, that is the million dollar
question right now these are heavily densely populated areas
that we're talking about.
Oh, crap, man had all that cut it off. So to a certain point,
he talks about this is like nah, screw it. I'm sorry. This is I'm
confused on that. Anyway,
well give a brief summarize, I got a couple of clips. Well,
I have the so I have the other side of this in on the in the
house. This is where one of the the representative from Florida
I forget her name, Ross Latina and I think she does her one
minute she requested a minute to talk and said and mentioned
something very interesting. She of course, is your butcher about
to hear on the Israeli side. Mr. Speaker,
I rise in full support of our friend and ally, the democratic
Jewish state of Israel.
Now that's an interesting term. The Jewish state of Israel. This
is what they've been pushing for. They've been pushing for
this,
it says been an issue. That has not been resolved word. Yeah, I
know we have to discuss this in more detail at some point where
we actually get a better grip on what
I'd like. I'd like to have our nights we have nights in Israel.
Of course we have sir Joan on the night of Zion, and we got
lots of nights. And I did been completely silent. I hope that
Okay, I hope they're not like, bombed, bombed away or whatever.
I doubt it. But they haven't they haven't come back. They
have not Not a peep. And we need some boots on the ground
information.
Well, I have a couple of clips from is that clip done? You're
done. You're gonna
she just keeps on going. Obviously, point was the Jewish
state, I thought was interesting.
The Jewish state thing. Well, this has become a bone of
contention amongst the Israelis themselves. But let's play a
couple of coats from France 24 Because there's some interesting
information in here too. This is about this is the Eclipse Hamas
versus the Iron Dome, which is something we forget about it,
which is there's a no Iron Dome, it's
an Iron Dome. It doesn't always work. It doesn't work.
For for many Palestinians in Gaza have been cheering the
rockets as they are launched into Israel. Militants say that
a nuclear reactor in the desert at demona is one of their
targets for long range missiles. It's widely suspected that
atomic weapons have been developed site and mass is
reaches now stretching ever further into Israel with the
rockets hitting Zhi Shan Yaakov, a town which lies well over 100
kilometers to the north of Gaza. Kathy Clifford tells us now
about her massive military capability. It would be the
furthest distance a missile fired from Gaza has ever
reached, Israeli media reported two rockets crashed into the sea
165 kilometers north of Gaza at the port city of Haifa on
Wednesday. This after the turn of Fodera at a distance of 116
kilometers was hit today earlier. The last Israeli
offensive against Gaza in 2012 was meant to have severely
dented Thomas's capabilities. But less than two years later,
the group's range of rockets and distance thing and fire to is
increasing their rainy and made fudge five missiles have a range
of 75 kilometers force Iran to Syrian and 302 rockets a range
of 160 kilometers. specialists say they're capable of hitting
major Israeli cities. Both
of those have the capability of reaching not only the the cities
in southern Israel, which her masters have been back battering
in recent weeks with large numbers of missiles but also the
major Israeli cities such as the rue Salam and Tel Aviv
promises rockets are all unguided, but are being fired at
an intense rate in a bid to overwhelm Israel's Iron Dome
missile defense system. Experts say Hamas could keep going at
this rate for around six weeks. They believe the grip has an
arsenal of some 10,000 missiles promises
ability to maintain a high rate of rocket fire has in fact
increased over the years after each conflict. And that's a
strategy is to engage Israel in limited conflicts, and then
expand its military capability again,
Israel's now mulling over a ground operation, which could
hamper her masters ability to again stock up on weapons at the
end of the conflict.
I gotta tell you, um, there's nothing like this particular
issue that gets people riled up against each other. It's um,
just seeing the chat room alone. It's It's really amazing.
You know, what's funny about these new missiles, especially
the Syrian one, this is like me, let's say I was were Hamas was
in San Francisco, right? That means they'd be pounding
Sacramento and anyone who's got familiar with the with the
district, which is about 90 miles away. You could be
pounding Sacramento from that distance. This is this is not as
trivial situation, especially when they're firing 200 missiles
an hour or whatever the number is, it's I think that was the
number and they got 10,000 missiles to fire, you can do a
lot of damage. You can see why these guys would be little irked
about this. So if you play part two, and you get to kind of a
you'd have to imagine being in a situation Yeah, you're probably
going to do more damage to the other side. But which is what
they want you to do be for publicity purposes is because
Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinians. But that's in my
opinion. But let's play this vert Hamas versus Tel Aviv
report and you get just I think a little I think this needs to
be understood a little bit. See at
Tel Aviv once again under fire this morning. How are people
feeling over there in Israel? I think people here are feeling
fed up because every so often their lives are put on hold.
This is a repeating pattern as we know, a cycle that goes back
to 2005 when Israel left the Gaza Strip, but you know, to
2009 2012 They, they're frightened and they're tired of
it and they actually support the government's very tough
operation in Gaza. Because as they all say, we want this to
end we want our lives to just be able to continue. One of the
startling images from yesterday I think is a woman, a bride who
who found her wedding interrupted, and she goes down
to the bomb shelter to complete her wedding vows. So there is
that ceiling here. Someone said it's as if we're living in a
reality TV show called Gaza which repeats itself and of
course for people in Gaza it's the same feeling only more
deadly. There have been reports about the children on both
sides, both having bedwetting problems both having trauma
related issues, so it doesn't seem to end and it traumatizes
everyone on both sides of this line
exactly that's what we end up with
it's the thing that gets me wasn't Hamas broke that wasn't
that what the they they caught that guy trying to the was it
the ambassador trying to do an end around to get money to Hamas
because they couldn't make payroll? I don't remember that.
Hey, they they
believe apparently spending all their money on missiles Sure.
Those little missiles that they use from the year Iranians and
the Syrians that aren't cheap. Yeah, I mean, it's
okay. So you could do you have an analysis of this because
no my analysis is I think I think this whole thing is just
as a taunting This is a I mean, I think they Hamas people with
their missile delay yeah, there's two things I want to
point out one is with the spies in the sky and the clear skies
you have over that area most of the time maybe they're only
launching these missiles when there's when there's overcast
it's possible I don't know no one's ever told said anything
about this when did they launch the missiles? Because it seems
to me that you'd you'd be able to pinpoint in real time where
the missiles are being launched from with our with spy
satellites, and then you could send drones immediately to that
spot. And yeah, it's probably in a neighborhood and it's gonna
kill all kinds of collateral other people, but you could take
these these these missile launchers out, it seems to me
but again, I'm not sure because of the when the lunchtimes
are but this, but okay, hold on a second,
they got to do something, you can't just let somebody fire
10,000 missiles at you without taking action. Or would you just
sit back and say well, whatever.
No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying I'm going back to
1990 when all this bullcrap started this whole thing
I think it started actually biblical times but that said
another philosophical
back Yeah, okay, that's right. That God drew the line and this
is this is where it starts well hallelujah everybody good to
know how we're gonna how good to see everybody who loves God in
different ways killing each other good work everybody screw
all of you kill each other
fine No, I don't see what the how this involves us and I don't
understand that well,
we we built the Iron Dome we mean that it was stupid iron
dough we give we give billions of dollars I cut and sell stuff
we sell stuff to them. What
do you mean when did the little clips because this was going on
forever? And because the French are very interested in this and
one clip says yesterday they fired 200 missiles at Tel Aviv
or someplace and two a two were shot down they were so proud
of it is Iron Dome is not is not a great thing that we're
thinking to Yeah, that's just it's just a rip off.
No, it's a total scam Iron Dome
but geopolitically in this entire region it's it's so
complicated. I have no background no education will not
ever be able to understand this and quite frankly have no desire
to to even create an opinion other than it is all related.
And it is all all the pieces are coming in rubble renewal rub
lies the entire area as far as I'm concerned that's what's
going on just screw everybody and everything
it's just well there gets narrowed there's a report I
don't know if I have this one I've got
to find that thing that I was reading where where I said you
know when if this if this thing escalated with Israel and
Palestine or Hamas or whatever you want to call it the Jewish
state versus the Hamas
Gaza people's whatever,
whatever that it's this cannot be good.
No, it can't be and here's the other thing that I think it's
being overlooked which I think is more important because you
don't want to realize these guys but this is going to happen
perhaps play the Jordan being set up clip.
Yeah, no We knew this was happening.
Protesters have rallied near the Israeli embassy in Jordan in
support of Palestinians. Chanting we are going to Gaza
millions of martyrs. Riot police arrested dozens of anti Israeli
demonstrators on Wednesday in Amman. The protest was organized
by the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood. Opposition parties
in Jordan are planning another rally in downtown Amman after
prayers on Friday. All right.
Was there a little thing there said Allah. Did you hear that?
No, I didn't hear what she says George Jordanian Muslim
Brotherhood and it was like a little background clip that they
snuck in. Just a little sweetening. Yeah, I play that
against your one a second.
Which one was it again, Jordan being set up yet.
Protesters have rallied near the Israeli embassy in Jordan in
support of Palestinians. Chanting we are going to Gaza
millions of martyrs. Riot police arrested dozens of anti Israeli
demonstrators on Wednesday in Amman. The protest was organized
by the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood. Opposition parties
in Jordan are planning another rally downtown Amman. On Friday.
You should do that, too. We'll just be talking about on what it
was cut in. It was oh, it was certainly jacked up. The sound
was jacked up at the end. That's
funny. I didn't notice that when I met when I was clipping in.
Very, very interesting. Yes. At that. And that's that means
verbalization is coming.
Did you read that? Robert Kagan piece that I sent you, you
probably didn't have a chance. It's no
I didn't have a chance I was going to it's and this is being
hailed as I forgot about. So
this is why I need to remind you that kind of stuff. I guess.
This is a piece written by Robert Kagan. And is being
hailed by the Neo cons as you know, the the the piece you must
read this.
I know you're not I feel bad about this. Now. It's in the
show
notes. It's called the allure of normalcy. What America still
owes the world.
Oh, yeah,
it's it's a beaut, it's a beauty. And I'll just read a
little bit. So these are the Kagan's these are the people who
got us into Iraq in 2003. You know, the road the project for
New American Century before 911 happened? They were all over
this. And now of course, yeah, this was their goal. We have
Nudelman, the vice ambassador
of state of kings of the analyzers.
We have regularization. We got all kinds of clips for this. I
just never get to it. Now hold on a second. Here we go. Yes.
Rubber lies the place.
So just I'll just read the first paragraph or so just to get an
idea. almost 70 years ago, a New World Order was born. There. I'm
hooked, right? I'm already in. I'm like, Yeah, from the rubble
of World War Two built by and around the power of the United
States. Today that world order shows signs of cracking, and
perhaps even collapsing, the Russian Ukraine and Syria crises
and the world's tepid response, the general upheaval in the
greater Middle East and North Africa, the growing nationalist
and great power tensions in East Asia, the worldwide advance of
autocracy and retreat of democracy taken individually,
these problems are neither unprecedented nor unmanageable.
But collectively, they are a sign that something is changing,
and perhaps more quickly than we may imagine, they may signal a
transition into a different world order or into a world
disorder of a kind not seen since the 1930s. And then it
goes on from there,
you can keep reading, as far as I'm concerned,
it's a breakdown in the world order that America made is
occurring. It is not because America's power is declining.
America's wealth, power and potential influence remain
adequate to meet the present challenges. It is not because
the world has become more complex and intractable. The
world has always been complex and intractable. And it is not
simply war weariness, strangely enough, it is an intellectual
problem, a question of identity, and purpose, and nice, and it's
a good spot to stop. Okay, so here's, here's what the article
is about. And he goes back into history and says, America has
traditionally always been isolationist. And we didn't want
to get involved in World War One. And we got involved. We
didn't want to get involved in World War Two. And we got
involved and we always got involved because like, oh, well,
nothing can happen. We're protected here. We've got two
oceans, and what do you like, what's Japan's gonna attack us?
And so this is how these people operate. And the sad thing is,
that, Kagan, the Kagan's and the Neo cons and the people from
Gail and Carrie and all these people, they truly, truly, truly
believe that America should be doing this. Having bases
everywhere, the arming people shooting people up killing it,
whatever that that it is our job. And if you really read
through it throughout history, we never want to do it. But
we're always pulled into it because of some emergency that
proves that we have to be involved. Which of course, Pearl
Harbor was obvious and 911 is obvious. And then that is
misused that he doesn't say that, but that is misused, then
for decades, as the reason why. And it just never stops until
it's, you know, there's a new generation enough, well, we will
create a new reason. And the entire mission of the Kagan's
and the Neo cons is, we are the policemen of the world. We
maintain the world order. Team America Fuck yeah. This is
exactly what this this is. And the the people who you'd expect
are loving this new world order and it means he says it's not
new. It's a world order. It was a new world order after the
Second World War, we just have to make sure it doesn't turn
into disorder. And they truly, they really, truly believe that
doing the right thing. By the way. I have no proof that
they're not I don't know. I mean, what happens if we
actually did nothing? Maybe the world would go to shit. I don't
know.
Here's what my problem is these these guys. And I just why don't
trust anything they say or do? Well, they're assholes. For one
thing, they're well, they're trans political. They're liars.
I mean, without question. I mean, look at what Nudelman has
been doing was doing in the Ukraine and what we Whoa, we
didn't know what to do with it. You know, your site, the bad
wrestler in an old wrestling matches, I didn't hit you,
illegally.
Well, no, no, it's it's worse than that. It's worse than that.
And people forget. Yeah, there you go. We can forget that. You
know, people don't mention that anymore.
Right? Although that's key. And it has something to do with this
German thing going on. So these guys and anyway, these guys are
trans political, and that kind of bothers me. They started out
there. If you look at the hiss, what do you mean trans
political, what does trans political means they started off
as a borderline communists coming out of college. And they
were all Democrats and they could not promote their agenda,
which was a very aggressive, warlike agenda. And they
switched the Republican side during lightning and late in the
Reagan administration. Now they're all it's all a new cut
new. The neoconservatives are all they switch from being Neo
liberals to neoconservative they just changed their name, right?
Not conservative, right. I mean, they didn't want to do a lot of
war spend. They're not conservative by any means.
They're now they're Republicans, and then they bought the
Republican Party, George Bush, literally on a platter which
helped, you know, seal their, their position within the party,
it soon became apparent that these guys are bad actors. And
now about from all accounts that I can tell they're very slowly
gravitating to the Democrat Party
completely to President Obama quoted Kagan in his State of the
Union.
There you go. Yeah. And so the Democrats are going to be stuck
with these eight holes, and they're nothing but
troublemakers, they they're the ones who would they're
essentially, you know, of old form of Leninist. They really
want to take over the place and run it and they and they're
horrible people. They're warmongers? Yeah. Hey, God. This
is nonsense, by the way about oh, we only reluctantly did this
and we reluctant this bullcrap. We would enter World War Two
because we were attacked by the Japanese and we really didn't
have what wasn't that reluctant everybody and their sister sign
Oh no, what
he's saying is we didn't want to get involved intel that happened
and then we didn't want
it we don't want to get involved that's what we've always been
like this has been the country where yes, if you read the early
Founding Fathers had don't get involved in this so but so
what he's saying this is what I'm trying to convey because you
didn't read the piece. What he's saying is if we don't get
involved early, some shits gonna happen to us he's essentially
turning it around and we pretty much know that or at least I
believe that you know these types of attacks are planted or
call them false flag or whatever in order to get us involved for
a number of reasons I would say mainly financial for you know,
bankers banker yep all wars are bankers it's
very well documented it was a bankers bailout. British banks
if we don't get involved, the British banks are gonna go down
and we're going to take the brunt of it. So we had the
bankers with that's when we started our propagandists.
That's when propaganda really took a took that
year. Let me read another piece from this. Let me read another
passage. Roosevelt, another American statesman originally
hoped that the remember he's a historian John and he who writes
history gets to write history. Roosevelt and other American
statesman originally hoped that the United States would not have
to do everything by itself. Roosevelt plan to share global
management among the four policemen, the United States,
Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China, and Truman in 1945,
was bound and determined to slash the defense budget and
bring as many troops home as possible. What a stupid idea,
like money that way. Yeah, within two years after the war
ended, the new this is his words, the New World Order was
already teetering on the edge of collapse, along with hopes for
global partnership with the other great powers. Britain
quickly signaled its inability to play its historic role. Even
in the Mediterranean, China descended into civil war and
revolution. And the Soviet Union emerged not as a supporter of
the new order, but to American eyes as its greatest opponent,
which was, of course, a scam set up. The result was the
disheartening realization, the United States was going to carry
the lion's share of the burden. Justice Taft had warned, as
Ashton later put it, the United States was going to have to be
the locomotive at the head of mankind why I'd need to do that
one again. That's a fantastic little ditty there. The
locomotive at the head of mankind, while the rest of the
world was going to be the caboose. These people telling
you, Robert, brought to you by clan Kagan, these people? And I
guess, I mean, what is it now maybe, since nobody seems to
care about Iraqis, and we're like, oh, we're war weary again,
the same thing? Maybe we have to make it about Israel, that maybe
that's why this is happening. So that we do go in and, you know,
is that what what is at play here? It could be I don't know,
I'm just guessing
that's gonna be tough, because we have a country's divided on
what side to take. And, and there's always this belief that
Israelis, you know, are taking advantage of us and all the rest
of it. I don't think it's Tuesday. And it's also just, you
know, it's this never ending conflict. That's been going on,
like you said, says 1919. Minimally. Yeah. And I don't
think that's it. It's got to be something else. I mean, Jordan,
we'd probably have to do something about that if they
start to realize that place, because that's a major, you
know, major ally. That is not on the that's not Israel. I don't
know. I have no idea. I don't know what they're good. They're
dreaming crap up. They're trying to get us involved in Ukraine.
Let's let's Syria. They tried to get us involved in Syria. They
couldn't get anywhere with that they had you know, Nudelman den
goes to the Ukraine tries to get stuck. Ukraine tries to get
stuff started there. Yeah, I don't think there's there's a
good spot, maybe Canada.
Let's let's, let's listen to the west Clarke seven. So I came
back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time, we were
bombing in Afghanistan. I said, Are we still going to war with
Iraq? And he said, Oh, it's worse than that. He said he
reached over on his desk he picked up a piece of paper he
said I just he said I just got this down from upstairs mean
Secretary defense office today and he said this a memo that
describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five
years starting with Iraq and then Syria Lebanon, Libya,
Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran. Jordan not on the list
which means we're Yeah, we wouldn't Rob allies and we just
have to do something though. I'd Chris Jordan's got a police
state so they usually can take care of these problems by
themselves. So the you know, every time I listen to that
clip, I'm always thinking what is the one thing he never says?
Which the answer to the question Would I believe would be oil is
why what is the point? Yeah.
Ah, well,
I do want to get your up to it with the oil thing too. I would
like to get a better connection between them and who and
international oil the Kagan's yeah Hmm
Well, I mean Nudelman of course is directly connected but I
don't know may not be that easy to prove. But the the oil it's
clear what what's happening with the oil. I mean, that's we have
turkey is preparing for the Kurdish energy future. We have
what a huge refining tower on its way through going from
Turkey to to Kurdistan, the the Islamic State now I guess we
call it from this giant petroleum refining tower
dispatch from Dubai to Turkey, to be transferred to northern
Iraq.
Where did it come from? Dubai, that stuff in Dubai.
Let me see if I can find out who made it come
from China. It could be or anywhere I mean, I think I think
we can still make those towers really expensive distillation
towers are just a
giant 70 meter long 250 ton tower right
and the inside this where they boil the oil and they take off
cuts and cuts go and it gets separated in size like
essentially a still a giant petroleum still like you'd make
alcohol
okay, we had we finally so at least someone's listening live
we get a note from Israel. I have a feeling it's not going to
be very flattering towards us. Because you know, of course we
were haters or whatever. So here it is. This is from Pavel and
Pavel says I mean fro from Israel first of all first off
Iron Dome works Get your facts right. It only shoots rockets
headed towards populated areas and it's quite accurate. At the
moment out of 350 rockets fired over three days it intercepted
90 of them and only a handful direct hits. So that doesn't
work I guess I don't know. Most of them close to Gaza where it's
almost impossible to intercept in time. Well then it doesn't
work. In Israel Iron Dome is considered the hero of the last
three days. I was in bear Sheva, Shiva when the alarm sounded and
I photograph two intercepts so the iron DERM dome works now it
didn't before Okay, and the Air Force does shoot the rocket
launchers. But just keep in mind there are over a million people
in Gaza gotta go keep you updated. Well, okay,
yeah, we'll keep us updated. Yeah,
please. But that sounds like the Iron Dome work some of the time.
Well,
it could not all you know, I remember I'll go back to the the
first Iraq war where they were sending the Scuds over and we
had the Patriot missile patriots yeah forgotten about that turns
out over time, and we've reported this before and
everybody knows and you can look it up. They were showing all
kinds of videos of the Patriot missiles blowing up you know,
there's another Scud coming and boom there went anyway here it
is. And it turned it over here it is here. I'm here in Iraq
John Scud launch an ad and what else you see in there the
I see the Patriot missile there. They're gonna and it's a direct
hit.
Well, it turns out that what happened was that this was all
bull crap. The Patriots never had one kill the scouts were so
crappy that they would go up and just break up in the sky. Okay,
so
what you're saying is
a lot of people may be getting the locals may be selling a bill
of goods to their own populace, because it would be kinda It's
distressing to think of these messages coming in and randomly
This is very similar to the Germans bombing with V ones and
V twos was bomb London. It just made people nervous. She
observes it comes to buzz bomb and blows up something it's very
disturbing to have that happening constantly.
Don't they need gas masks? And we shouldn't we have see that on
the shoot. We have Anderson Cooper in Israel
just messing up becoming your watch.
It has to come to a prediction. Yeah, because it's always fun.
It makes for good TV. Yeah, hold on one second. We're reporting
here from Israel. Well, you have to put our gas mask on. It makes
for great TV. All right, let's well regardless. Thank you for
your courage and in the morning to you John C. Dvorak hill in
the morning to you Adam curry in the morning to all ships at sea
boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all
the days and nights out there in the sand

for your contribution to the show.
Oh, I also want to thank the artists that for the last
newsletter I sent out oh yeah, it was 20 What was it 20 I

2012 20 pot. Yeah, jump shot exactly. 20 foot jump shot Thank
you
chat room in the morning to the human resources there. I had no
agenda stream.com Good to see all of you lined up are ready to
go. And of course we would like to thank our executive producers
and Associate Executive Producer we do that more or less after
the opening of every show in order to thank them because they
come in with amounts that that really helped the show in great
numbers and especially the previous episode. You can hear
by the way that sounds like today is the day we're going to
cut the grass thanks guys.
One of the things I should point out is that we changed the tempo
we've had nothing but email troubles I sent a special note
out to people on probably do another one we've had I changed
the template to be because people who Well America source
more readable on the on the mobile devices. So I found this
terrific template that scales everything so if you whatever
you look at it on it, the pictures get bigger and smaller
automatically and it looks gorgeous on a phone, Android
phone, as well as an iPhone. Yeah, no, I've checked a couple
of I am killing this template. As of today, it brings in it
gets hit as it. I don't know what it is. But it's Google,
mostly Google. And it either doesn't get delivered, or
Googled put in the spam box, the return net, normally speaking,
we get between 45 and 55% opens on any email, I send out the
newsletter, and generally recently has been around 50 51%.
or more, almost always, with the old template, right, the new
template, one issue, which caused me to write the email
35%. That was it. And then I got all kinds of feedback. I never
found it. It wasn't in the spam box, it didn't even get
delivered, which is the new this is how great Google is. They
didn't even deliver it. And there was a bunch of those and I
and one guy did find it eventually. And then I use his
search tip with everybody just oh, they still couldn't find it.
No email from us coming in. Even in spam promotions, nothing
never showed up. Thank you very much Google. The other ones are
always in Spam was in Spam was in spam. And one my favorite is,
you know, it was in spam before and I keep telling him it's not
spam, and again, telling us not promotions, and it still ends up
there. So the Google system sucks. Well, you
know, this is so we use MailChimp, I believe right? I
use
MailChimp and Google should know MailChimp is very
adamant. But yeah, but I don't know if MailChimp is current on
their payments, because they may not be Bing Google enough. Well,
it's not Bing. But there are whitelisting services, which are
very expensive. We talked about this.
This is a Google issue specifically. And Google does
their own whitelisting stuff. And blacklisting. So if they
have their own, they really, they don't use spam ionizer and
all the rest of these,
they certainly could. They certainly control if what goes
through or not for sure. So it
doesn't go through it has all kinds of issues. And the only
thing I can see is this, this template, this template which
has a bunch of scalings code and all kinds of stuff in it. Google
goes oh, looks doesn't look right. I didn't complicate it.
Now it's basically telegraphing Oh, this is marketing. And then
they say let's so skip logic, John. Here's how here's how it
goes. And we receive amigo Okay, where's it from? It says DeVore
act.org. But oh, it looks like a MailChimp or Okay, let's see all
no agenda. Quick.
Off with its head. Well, anyway, with besides that possibility,
or
making money off of our infrastructure without paying us
that's about a month, we are not paying them to use their mail
system.
You can say that if you want but the way I see it is this, I'm
getting 50% I use this template once I get 35%. I use it a
second time after telling everybody about the problem. The
second time, which was sent out yesterday 32%. Right? I am not
I'm sorry, mobile users. Your problem is with Google, I tried,
I tried to send out a newsletter that is scalable, it can run on
any product
does this How about other free email services, which of course
is the problem here is you have no control. I mean, if if I
control what comes through on my server or not. So you basically
have you think you have control because you have little buttons
to push, we don't really have control, you're not in control
of it.
They're controlling everything. And this is the what I my point
in which I make and I'm going to write about this too, is I got
some numbers I can use. It says this is Google's arrogance, you
know, they just think that they own the place they do not even
accept the fact this is a subscribe to a newsletter that
you can unsubscribe to very easily by going to the bottom of
and clicking a button. You're done. You're not on this
newsletter thing anymore. Unless you're resubscribe yourself.
They know this. They know this but this still you know their
code is so stupid that it's when it sees all this this crazy, you
know JavaScript or whatever so you
don't actually know that. That that's how it's happening.
That's got it you're presuming I am presumed me because that's
the there's no way that the otherwise it's a ridiculous
coincidence. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's more likely than there
should go no agenda. We can send it to them. Why don't they do
that all the time? Why just with this template? I don't know.
That's the problem. No, no, no, no,
no, that is not the problem. The problem is people decided long
ago that it was groovy to use free email services. You get
what you pay for. That's it that's the problem.
It will that is a problem. Okay. And Google's so I'm not
complaining because I think their stuff is I think they're
worse than the other guy but I'm not. I'm not complaining because
that's the that's that's the world and if you want to play if
people want to play In the Google infrastructure than an
ecosystem, that's what you get. You don't always get everything
you want, because you're at the behest of them.
Right? And what you won't get is a scalable newsletter that you
can read on your iPhone that people want want. They want
this, but I can't give it to them because nobody gets it. All
right. Okay. Fine. But anyway, tried. Yeah, fine. It's a
gorgeous, I think is a really good look in your presentation
is
very seriously. A lot of work. I will say, this is also a bit
like I get from trying from time to time I'll get an email, it
says, No, any show notes is blocked. And I got one week last
week, and he shows his blocked at work. And it says it's a
parked domain. Because I always say, what is the error message?
is black? No, no, please give me a little information. What does
it say? Like when, if an email gets rejected, send me the
rejection. Notice, I can see it, you know, there is some
technical information in there. And you know, so that the note
was essentially, it's been blocked, give me another URL,
like, I'll do that. But would you please take the time to
contact whoever is in charge of this blocking mechanism? And let
them know that you know, you think it is that it's an error?
People forget that you can you can contribute to fixing these
things. And you must,
you know, there's a way with Gmail, you can fix this, too.
Yeah, there's a there's that offense. Stop it. Don't use
that. Yeah. Well, that people, you can say that all you want,
nobody is doing that.
Well, then then there you go. The Internet sucks, though.
If you put us our two email addresses, jay@divorce.org and
no agenda@divorce.org into your contact list. The like the
Google says that this stuff will always pass through? I don't
believe that. I don't I don't believe it either. And but they
say it will. I don't care. If you dig around enough, there is
a filtering mechanism that Google has in their own genome.
It is so
complicated, John, I don't care this people have to
do care. I don't want to see 32% open rates. I understand
that. But this is not your fault. People need to find a
different solution for their email if that because it's only
going to get worse. The over the meta issue is Google determines
what you consume Shut up slave. Google determines that for you,
not you Google, Facebook determines what you see now you
Facebook. People figure it out already.
Well, so let's thank a few people who are executive
producers for show 633 That didn't get through and paid
attention. Natalie Cole Angelo, in Mount Laurel, New Jersey is
our top guy right on Excuse me $600.05 Finishing off my
knighthood in the lump sum because you guys deserve it. I

in Manhattan for years listening to your podcast that late night.
I don't agree with all who does know I do.
We don't agree with each other. How can you agree with all of
it?
That's what I always tell people so we don't even agree with each
other. Why would you agree with everything we say? Because
actually it's impossible because we don't agree on anything. Or a
lot of stuff. So why don't you agree with me anyway, this is a
philosophical thing. He says he does agree should not be using
Gmail. But your podcast is an important voice people need to
hear he's got no parent requests. Oh, okay. Came in an
email.
And what is this number 44443 Is that a significant number
somehow? I like
the round off his.
Oh, okay. Wait to round off the knighthood. Oh, because he's not
in blue on the oh, you know, knighthood in our coded system.
No.
Oh, no. As the other guy was rounding up. I don't know. He
doesn't say huh, it's a great video if it's a nice thing he's
gonna have to tell us also
seranthony is also not on the So, alright.
Okay, fine, Sir Anthony.

now just went through Google, I've decided to upgrade to the
full executive producer ship telling Mary I love her. And

of the money. Okay. It's always annoying. By the way when this
happened? Well,

Luckily PayPal works 99% of the time, but we do get a lot of
checks which are very, very much better. Roll SK and Saskatoon

missiny.
Le missiny.
What I say La man sunny as always a bit less
Sunny. A 2345611. My Favorite Things. Now this is a good note.
It's a little long, but I have to read it. After hearing John
talk about Noam Chomsky. I had to in investigate. I like
language and I like to think I can smell a skunk no reeks, but
I don't have much evidence I picked up a couple of gnomes
books and WTF the man is unreadable. Take my money.
Amidst much protest, I found this gem from the 1960s. And as
a quote and I think I told I sent him a note back saying, I
think this is one of his rationales for supporting Pol
Pot and the Khmer Rouge. And here's Nome talking. If we're
interested in, let's say, diminishing the amount of
violence in the world. It's at least arguable and sometimes
true, that a terroristic Act does diminish the amount of
violence in the world. Hence, a person who is opposed to
violence will not be opposed to that terroristic act. Well,
that's deep. What a crock. It goes on. And Andrew does. This
is not a good man. This is a long winded circular logic
condoning violence in the name of peace. This is what he does
obfuscation and sentences filled with the most amazing language
you've ever heard. How could he be wrong? This piece was for far
more lucid and understandable than his recent work.
Apparently, he was just cutting his teeth in the 60s. To quote
John, you are lying liar. Napping for humanity Baron so
he's now Erin. Nice. All right.
I'm just putting this in Andrew Loomis, honey.
Do more to go with a really am Dodi and Mount Zion Illinois. I
have the note the lawn Okay, I'll be right there. Ah, yeah.
And back. The note was laying on the floor. And you just can't go
too straight to the note. So he wrote a hand written this long
I'm not gonna read the whole thing. But he says Heil a
dolphin. Jebediah is hand written by when I saw this. Man
was completely nuts. Oh, hi, everybody. Hi, everybody. So he
writes his note, take this poor priapism. Strip priapism
stricken forever High School slave lit cash from my slave
transfer, celebration. Congratulation motto as a 30.
This is young for your production of the amazing
product, no agenda, that he has the handwriting of a of a
millennial. It's I you know, I blame the schools for this.
There is no absolutely no reason that the schools don't teach
penmanship anymore. And you can do that if you homeschool. In
fact, go all the way and teach calligraphy. That's what I think
and kerning. Kuchar kerning brings a typist. Production of
the amazing podcast no agenda. I knew it was time to donate.
When. When an hour in the neighborhood bring city one of
our something. When a whore in the neighboring city to Mount
Zion Decatur vanished in a mysterious gas explosion that
took out half of the neighborhood and blew out to
water in the houses nearby. Firefighters are still confused
as to its cause. Anyway, he goes on about the
drone strike. drone strike douche
me and give everyone a Reverend Sharpton we much Charlie Rose
karma. Oh no, there was you once the Charlie Rose thing to be
prepared to hear back from me after I transferred to get mon
nation Midwest Berkeley, which is the University of Wisconsin
Madison nuts for de radicalization in August. Also,
I did steal the intro to yalls donation segment from my
graduation speech. I'll send it to y'all when it makes its debut
in July. I'd love to do what do you still carry your corn holes?
Oh, thank you for taking some courage. God, I don't know what
he did.
Well, at least hopefully graduating get out of there
before they lynch him. Whatever he's going to do.
Now there'll be a little sea resist. We much
we must and we will much about that. committed.
Tell me about the sexuality. It's in your DNA. Karma.
It's hard to believe he actually said those things. Matthew Yates
says our final Associate Executive producer from
Fairport, New York at $207. Thank you for your analysis with
the Christine Lagarde babbling like a witch about the number
seven I just wanted to point out that local law enforcement
agencies across the US are being outfitted with military
equipment. Yes, of course to the 1033. program with the
Department of Defense, large following in regards math 1033
equals seven, I dropped the zero. I hope you use this
donation to buy your seeds in iodine.
We got a lot of emails about that, and mines will tell you
right now. So the rumor I said the seven years and something
that there was a, I had heard, I knew about this and of course,
tons of email of the biblical context of Genesis, Jacob
interprets the dream of the Pharaoh. And the interpretation.
This is where it gets interesting. You would have
seven abundant crop years followed by seven years of
famine. And what I got a lot of response from his people saying
for regard to turn it around, saying we had seven bad years
now it's time for seven good years, which is not according to
Scripture is botanical. It's an old Satan this trick I'm told.
I'm in I mean to everybody's like, Ah,
I've been found out.
So Lord only knows it's gonna happen on July the 20th, which
also apparently is the day when they want it was it hit? They
wanted to kill Hitler or Hitler's birthday? I don't know.
It's like, did a million things happen on July 20? And
apparently
sounds like a donation opportunity.
Yes. Well,
when opens the email, no way.
Someone had a there was a funny it was like if you do, I don't
know if I saved this one. It was a donation amount here it is.
Too complicated. Reverse karma seven years times 33 to 31.
Drop, the one is 2323 times 104 is the number of Norwegian
episodes per year is 23922 plus three plus nine plus two is 16.
One plus six is seven. Ah, so ask for this 231 donation, you
make a swine that deserves it and give him seven years and
putting it in the newsletter. So I'm gonna save it. So it's the
numbers 231. And it is a seven years of crap for someone. It's
it's a reverse karma. It's not very positive, but then
you can wish it on somebody. It's
the seven years decocker the set on the Malir because he's
said at the summit, then you had to have a revert. You said that
we could do this, but there has to be some way of reversing the
curse.
Well, here this this is a little the curse. Well, here's a little
candy Navion kudamon for a question raised and 632. Just to
confirm. In Quebec, we actually use an expression concerning the
number seven in relation to coming bad period of time. For
instance, if you break a mirror in public chances are pretty
high some old lady will come to you often with fear in her eyes
predicting seven years of bad luck in friendship would be set
down the mother. So his suggestion for donation amount
is a twist from French. last seven years to Kaka. And then he
goes to that whole thing to come up with to 31.
All right, well, that's the kind of creativity we have in our
audience.
It's very creative. By the way, he has never donated, he says
creative, very creative. Oh, all righty people.
We want to remind people that we do have another show coming up
on Sunday, I'm guessing it's gonna nobody's gonna get a
newsletter nor my show. And so please go to devora.org/n A and
help us out in any way you can.
Thank goodness, we have your ham radio working. So at least we
can grouse at each other over the repeater. The show falls to
two c 14 Charley indeed. Thank you all very much. It's highly
appreciated. Of course, these are real credits. And you can
use them wherever credits are valid. And we'll have a couple
of nights. Oh, there was actually there's one I needed
to. We had a mate good. This was something weird happened. I'm
not quite sure. And this is from Saab Swiss. And he so he had
sent in a donation which would get him a knighthood. It was
also for his birthday, which is July 4, and and it never made it
anywhere. It didn't make it onto a spreadsheet or anything. And
he sent this whole is it Pay Pal? Yeah. And he even sent a
copy of the of the paper. Now he's from Switzerland. And it
was 494 45 to complete his knighthood. And I said Eric this
whole note and Eric basically just ignores what I had to say
and just it's not anywhere. It's the note is not anywhere. So I'm
going to read this
I'll look into the Pay Pal bookkeeping,
please call me by my gamer name sub Swiss. That's my desired
night name sir sobs with my birthday was Fourth of July 1960
in the morn and John Anam, I don't remember how I found the
no agenda podcast, but it was over a year ago, the thing which
immediately got my attention was the Intune on the seventh day by
David Marriott. It is simply a masterpiece, which everyone
always asked me that it's on the seventh day, David Marriott took
me a while to find out that the no agenda show is at least as
outstanding as this tomb. Since I'm a regular listener, and
don't miss a single show. I understand that you like to have
as much instant knights as possible. But I think one has to
stay a slave for at least one year to be able to really
cherish the mercy of no one
mentioned this guy on the last show, but the audience tonight.
Well, you had to be a slave. I read his app. But
that does sound familiar. Don't you remember? Yeah, but if you
look at the spreadsheet, it's not on the spreadsheet. So where
was
it? Okay, we'll just keep reading that because this is a
good note.
I decided my for my 51st birthday. The Fourth of July
will be the perfect day to become a member of the knowledge
and a roundtable I would like to ask for some karma for John and
Adam, David Marriott, and all the listeners of the show and my
friends from Scottish to air brigade. Don't remember that.
Tom, something went wrong somewhere. But it's uh, and he
was really disappointed.
So he's a knight who well that and he's now a black knight.
He's, yes, exactly. Right. For over a year. Exactly.
And he gets his karma. Of course, you've got karma. So we
comes Black Knights or sub Suisse?
Yeah. Which is, you know, we we've done a really good job of
not having a lot of black knights. So that hopefully
is it will make good for the fact that he got missed and his
birthday too. I
feel bad. Yeah, I'm gonna put them on the birthday list for
today. Yeah,
I have Monday. I put him there now. Yes.
i Who knows, I think is my fault somehow.
I'm happy to blame you. Well, I
mean, blame anybody you want. But because I remember this
something. Okay. Well, will this gets resolved, we'll fix
it. And so we of course, have a show on Sunday. We need your
support is always for.org/n A and of course, we need you to
always help us out getting more people to listen by propagating
the formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
boy
there you go. Nice. Okay. It's a good group. We already had 143.
Are
you kidding me? Because we started early. Oh, my goodness.
Moving right along.
It's moving very, very fast.
Well, you know, we can do so I got a Q SL card. k zero am Z he
sent one for you to
have we actually que es Ode to deserve a que SL. This is this
is part of the ham radio, amateur radio culture where
I wanted to take a break and talk about this a little really?
fams.
Really? Okay, it's a little bit. Wow. Well, let me explain this
not
gonna be more than a couple minutes. All right, go ahead. He
didn't send a donation he just sent in a que Oiselle card. And
as I was looking at it, and it's like, it's got his call. He's
got it. It's like he's got part of his own address that Marty
needs to get a printer that knows how to print these things.
It's a really it's got, you know, day 33 Month 33 or 33.
It's a joke joke us. Oh, okay.
It's because of QSR card is essentially a confirmation.
Yeah, this is that you had contact,
right? And then you which we haven't had, I don't be
collectible. I would recommend anyone going on Google and type
in and T or old or classic Q SL cards, and then look at the
images and you'll see all kinds of cool ones. naked women, funny
cartoons. Guy Hambrick. And in our house. I mean, there's a
million possibilities, just so
you understand. This is the hobby, this is what it's about.
You contact each other you say, what's my signal? Here's your
signal. Here's your signal. What's my signal? What's your
name? Here's my name. And by the way, you can't say you have to
say the name here is you don't say my name is Adams. The name
here is Adam, for some reason. And the report is always five.
Nine is never any difference always five, nine to five, nine.
And they say okay, great. Send me a cue cell card. You got it.
And then you send the QSR card that says I talked to you on
this day at this time. Five, nine. My name is Adam.
Yeah, which you don't really feel that yet. Confirmation
queue. So with number, your name, your callsign and that's a
month date. megahertz where you found the guy that was put on or
not put it down on the megahertz. Yeah. So what I would
you know, I'm thinking this should be revived. Well, it's
quite lively. Actually. I'm getting well, I will discard any
indication for
my birthday. Miss Mickey has made me Cuba sell cards.
Oh, you got to sell copies. Yes. She's so nice. I'm going to have
one of our artists make one for me. Well, I
have one done personally by Miss Mickey. So haha.
Well, I'm gonna get one of the guys to do one. All right, and
then I have decided to do them in limited editions, like maybe
in addition of 50. And then that would be the end of that edition
that you sent out in the next edition and people would try to
get this set. So they tried to collect all of them.
And you can find John on D star reflector 14, Charlie. Yeah, all
right. All right. Hey, so we had this election in Afghanistan,
and it has not gone the way we want. No. So Abdullah, Abdullah,
Abdullah Abdullah, can you imagine that say you're calling
me on the phone, and my name is Abdullah? Okay, I'm gonna ask
you, I'm gonna ask you about these elections. Okay,
let me I'm gonna call you on the Afghanistan phone because it's a
it's a little a little older school.
There we go. Yeah. Hello, Abdullah. Yeah. Abdullah,
Abdullah. Abdullah, who? No, I was gonna do like this. Who's
winning the election in Pakistan, Abdullah? That's me
what, Abdullah? Abdullah Abdullah, what really is bad
now? Well, it was it would have been.
So Abdullah Abdullah is Abdullah he's not supposed to win. No,
this is not the guy. This is not our guy. Now. Of course not.
Who's our who's our guy? Our guy Ashraf Ghani. Yeah. And and he's
former World Bank.
Banker, guys.
Yeah. In fact, the date in the 2009 election, he ran, he got
like, 3% of the vote. They called him zonna. A bush, which
means George Bush's bitch. direct translation, I believe
his wife of George W. Bush, but Xana E. Bush, I think is Bush's
bitch. So he, he has now allied himself with with some military
dudes. And he is supposed to win. And this is not working out
so well. And there's like a recount, and everyone's getting
all upset. And of course, this has to be explained in the State
Department, as a gimp Saki Does, does her little, her little
show. And it's quite funny to hear how she's explaining that.
Oh, you know, clearly we have an issue with these elections. I
want
to reiterate that today's announcement is of preliminary
results. These results are not final or authoritative
because we have to go in and give them some democracy and
regime change
and may not predict the final outcome. There are serious
allegations of fraud, which I think you referenced, she
should have said it's a computer glitch. But no, no, she misses
the opportunity
there. And they've been raised. And in our view, they haven't
been sufficiently investigated. Right now. Our focus is on
encouraging a full and thorough review of all reasonable
allegations of irregularities. So we think that's essential
irregularities, that the Afghan people have confidence in the
integrity of the electoral process. We don't support any
individual candidate, as we stated, but we have long stated
our support for credible, transparent and thorough
process. And obviously, there are additional steps that need
to be taken in that regard.
This is so funny. It's just as funny as Syria, where, you know,
we we, we reckon we just created a whole new government, which we
call the Syrian opposition, but it's really just these so we
have these guys will talk with them. And now they know that
they're electing a new president, which will recognize
this, it's just we just pretend like Assad doesn't exist. And I
don't know what when we talk this year, we talked to the new
guys, the new president. And of course, this is all backed up by
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. That one guy in an
apartment in London somewhere who's always you know, it sounds
good The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Well, let's look at it from a logical point of view. We got a
lot of interest we got the drug business, which we're handing
back over to the guy we took gotta get Mo Yeah, because we're
unwilling so they gotta have some guy running down. He has to
be in our pocket. And then we also have issues with the
Chinese coming in. Oh, yeah. Because they want to take over
that lithium area, which is the northern part of the country,
which is apparently loaded with lithium that they can make into
batteries for electric stuff. And we can't have that happen.
We really don't can't afford to get this Abdul Abdul Abdul,
whatever his name is,
Abdullah Abdullah.
This is not good. No, we don't want that guy. But I will say
help us.
Here's the mistake that we made with he has the better name.
Yeah, he's got a great name. Seriously, cool. Is a great
name. Just memorable.
I can't even remember I just told you the guy's name that
we're backing and I can't even remember his name awestruck.
Look at it on a piece of paper. You can't remember it.
It's it's Ashraf, A S H ra Afghani with an H in there. So
Ghani
it says terrible name where Abdullah Abdullah and marketing
people in this
country I don't know. Abdullah Abdullah so, so nice. We named
him twice. I mean come on it's easy.
Africa they had the two names that was supposedly killed and
he wasn't killed and was that guys he had a double name like
that. Coney Coney. Yeah life or something. Whatever the case.
Yeah, no this Abdullah Abdullah, I don't know why we couldn't
have gotten them in our pocket to begin with. It's just one
module
that was in the way to go. Well,
I guess the Chinese bought him off. Whatever the case is, this
is gonna be a mess.
Yeah, yeah. So I presume. I mean, the President's already
gotten involved. He's calling like, hey, you know, be called
be called both of them. By the way, the president in town here
in Austin today.
Oh, it must be everybody must be giddy.
Well, of course he'll be having dinner at a very important
house. That's how do you he's having dinner at the castle
tonight. Robert Rodriguez film director in the castle? No, of
course not. Robert Rodriguez, filmmaker.
Oh Rodriguez, the filmmaker. Yeah, he
did des machete Yeah, I
know what he did. Yeah. He said he makes he makes schlock die.
Well, Desperado. But that was a while ago locked slug.
In Afghanistan clip kind of brings us to a head of what
we're talking about. Hold on a second at summary.
Yeah, that's good. We need this.
Claims of fraud in Afghanistan's presidential election must be
thoroughly investigated, says President Obama has told both
candidates by phone that the country risks losing out on
American aid if violence breaks out. Ashraf Ghani was announced
on Monday with 56% of the preliminary results. His arrival
Abdullah Abdullah has long complained that ballot boxes
were stuffed with fraudulent votes as well as other kinds of
irregularities. Now the Afghan Electoral Commission itself has
admitted to recording fraud by security forces and senior
government officials.
Ah okay so so we stuffed the ballot box they caught us and
they admitted dummies Yeah, we
did that it's you know, let's look at some more
let's look at some pictures for a second here. Let's look at
what doula doula looks like. Let's just look at a bar
looking guy tomorrow like he looks more Afghani than the
other guy. Yeah, looks like a Western bankers kind of clean
cut here. Yeah, but he's not wearing the banker suit that I
liked. He has he likes
it has this pensive look where he's clutching his chin with his
fingers. Okay, and then Ashraf Ghani let me take a look at him.
It's kind of nice if you think of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani,
Stan, maybe that's what that's a easy way to
hear I got a picture of Abdullah Abdullah with a suit on he's got
plenty of suits. And he's got to read where's all kinds of
outfits. Alright, so Austro Hungarian guys a good looking
guy. He's he'd be a good looking corrupt president. If you look
at
Ashraf Ghani. He looks like Dick Cheney. The bald head areas he's
done TED talks, please.
Oh, yeah, this guy. He has a website and Ted Talks thinks oh
yeah,
what is this how to rebuild a broken Yeah, Ted. He's done a
TED Well,
it's areas Yes, you have to do we got to did the TED talk is
here once you play a bit
Hello, Afghanistan. Surely you'll see me on my TED Talk.
Ah, all right.
Let's see it. It's funny I didn't I should have looked at
does Ed looks like the other guy. And he said stupid hat.
You mean the made of the hat made of the What does it made
of? It's made of plus sand? No. Yeah, no, it's it's calf fetus
or something like that. It's some disgusting crap. Alright,
how to rebuild a broken state. This is Ashraf Ghani from what
is this July 2005. All right. Oh, did we get a commercial
first? From Ted? Yes, Ted ideas worth spreading. Yay, clap,
clap, lick.
buffering. Buffering buffering.
Do we long ago observe is constituted to discussion and
debate if we are to call the tyranny of assumptions into
catch him
Yeah. And that sounded like what's her name but look guard
the unquestioned a little bit then we must be willing to
subject our own assumptions. So it's like a woman discussion
cookie this guy. It is in this spirit that I joined into a
discussion on dosterone time, namely, how to mobilize
different forms of capital.
Here's the And here's what they say. Ashraf Ghani is passionate
and powerful 10 minute talk, emphasizing the necessity of
both economic investment and design ingenuity to rebuild
broken states. And it was followed by a conversation with
Ted curator Chris Anderson on the future of Afghanistan. And
so everybody's in on this and I
was watching this political thing and I'm not gonna be to
you know, get into this too much, but I just want to mention
it. I mean, this guy for one thing, I swear to God when I
first heard him I thought he was being introduced by by a guard.
He sounds like a woman he's dead, which I could see why they
call him Bush's bitch. Bush is being very warm. He's got a
womanly voice. He's
very descriptive that Afghan he is slang.
So I'm listening to this political thing that I pointed
out to some people on Twitter's at Politico. He had a tech
conference of some crap they didn't know what they were
talking about phones. And they I never ended it for at least the
first five minutes I swear to God, I thought it was Rachel
Maddow. Was the was the guy that the moderator it sounded just
like her with the same cadence, same voice, same pitch, same
everything and it was some guy and I think this has to do with
it with our food supply. Low tea. Yeah, but is it low tea and
a 20 year old knows. Anyway, I just I just found it disturbing.
I'm
watching a replay of this C span thing on NSA surveillance and I
just wanted to play the in Johanna C span always has an
introduction. It's like a three hour D 30 minutes. Now a
discussion on NSA surveillance, cybersecurity and internet
freedom. We'll hear from Bruce Schneier internet freedom Okay.
Got a couple of clips about that
provide internet freedom Did you see this thing? Did you watch
this NSA? I
know I hear you were watching it. I was busy dealing with the
email getting 32% So I got Michael Copps was on C span. And
he has always he again, he used to be an FCC is a blowhard used
to be an FCC commissioner. Now he's with common cause. And he's
he's a, you know, just a blowhard. But he was on talking
about all the net neutrality and all the rest of it. And I got to
kind of semi long clips from him. But very interesting. He
thinks he talks about deregulation about the phone
companies taking over too much the business and the
government's got to get involved, we got to get
involved. And he also told your internet freedom to protect your
freedom from internet freedom with through government
involvement. And also he talks about political so I have these
two clips, and I want to play him because I think there if you
got anything from that NSA deal, this might work as a segue,
maybe not okay, but play this one. And this is Michael Copps
irony of deregulation that he kind of misses his own point. So
here
in Colorado, and other states legislatures are pushing to
completely deregulate the telephone industry. Despite the
evidence that in California, for example, prices went up over
250%. And just a few years after deregulation, I just want to ask
you, your take on this argument pushed by companies like
CenturyLink, that consumers don't need oversight from the
Public Utilities Commission or the SEC when it comes to our
communications needs.
So this company has basically one market power with no public
oversight. And if that's not a prescription for market control,
and gatekeeping power, I don't know what it is. But this has
been happening all over the United States of America, for
example, there are now 19 or 20 states where laws like this have
been passed that prohibit municipal broadband. So say
Verizon or Comcast or AT and T, maybe doesn't want to build in a
in a certain rural town, but they don't want anybody else in
there either. So they go to the state legislature, and then all
of these states, they pass laws either making it impossible or
downright difficult to do that. So you're leaving whole
communities behind and the broadband age and the Internet
age and who knows that those companies are those companies
won't be back until they think they can make make a buck there
and make $1 there. And that story has gone largely
unreported until recently, because there's so much less
state news scuze me except for on the no agenda show or at
Statehouse coverage in the history, because of the
consolidation of media and it's all one big set of problems. And
these aren't separable problems, broadband versus broadcast and
new media versus old media choose one or the other. We live
in one big communications ecosystem. Part of the
traditional media is broken needs to be fixed, but we also
have to figure out how we're going with new media and the
future, the internet and all the rest. So we need to report those
stories. I don't think most Americans if they really knew
the power that something like the American Legislative Council
had to, to not dictate but to really, really advocate on
behalf of him. Push these ads to pasture to their lobbying power.
I think most people if they knew how extensive that was, probably
wouldn't stand for it.
Okay, so that's interesting. And this is the part I didn't know
so we have of course reported on these municipal regulations,
which is completely anti competitive and if the people
even know the ones in the know of course in city council's
there the eight holes making this happen and probably taking
bribes, free broadband to the schools to the government
buildings to their offices. God knows what but this was set up
by is this Alec? Is that what he said the Yeah, those guys
they're behind us or mud douche buckets? Wow, I didn't realize
that was structural. Oh, of course I shouldn't be there.
But here's what's funny about he was talking about deregulation
being a bad thing. This is actually a form of regulation
that he's bitching about and because this regulation when you
pass a law that says you can't do something you've you've all
you you this is not deregulation and the least deregulation means
is wide open, you should be able to put municipal broadband in
Yes, like it misnomer. So he misses his own irony of this
complaining. But there's two things that is that is that
means he just doesn't figure out he doesn't understand the
mechanism. But this this was interesting to me, too, that
that Alec is behind these laws, because if you're some little
get country bumpkin out and but you know, not even a bump and
you own a huge cattle ranch, and you're out in the middle of
nowhere, Wyoming. And it's just outside of a city limit that
could have municipal broadband, and could be sending you a
signal and you can get high speed internet. And you can't
because the because the state passed a law saying that no. The
mean,
is it states is it states or is it municipalities state
Interesting? Well, this is this is this is being pushed for, as
we know the we read that document from the Council of
mayors who also want to push for this no municipal broadband.
Don't let the citizens get together and do a mesh network.
No, no, no, no, no part
of the same thing can't have that. Why? Does anybody come up
to these guys and say why? No, because people buy
but of course not. Because what's happening all people hear
is I can't get my Netflix because it's Comcast be evil.
That's all they know. Reality. That's the net neutrality.
That's all the people know, but everyone's all in on this. It's
pathetic. People do not take the time to investigate anymore.
Maybe it's never been that way. I don't know. Maybe it may be I
know it's never been that way that our show is one of the out.
What disappoints me is that the media is supposed to at least
give people a clue about a lot of this stuff. We wouldn't be
around
if this show the media was doing their job we wouldn't be
necessarily
doing the show. Yeah. They immediately I would
happily be producing entertainment segments with
Lindsay Lohan and and David studio has
given up. They've just given up or they or they've been
sidetracked or like he says they don't report on state issues
anymore. What do they report on? There's a lot of entertainment
news. That's crap. That's a lie. A lot of their resources go to
that the other stuff is just what press release came in. They
I can read or that I can regurgitate. I don't know. It's
just interesting to me that this has happened. No. This is not
news. I'm sure this is not like something good. It's been
getting worse though.
Okay, well, before we do that, then let's just just take it to
the test. Let's look@news.google.com Top
Stories. Germany orders US intelligence chief out of
country. So there's your Deutschland? Blitzkrieg rales
Yeah, we already got Palestinian death toll rises to 77 as Israel
hits Gaza. And then Georgia case reopened after alleged
prostitute accusing your death Google executive. Amazon allowed
kids to spend millions on in app purchases now. Now you have my
attention. Oh, Matthew McConaughey and other stars
react to the 2014 Emmy nominations everybody What are
you talking about screen is nominated? Who's nominated?
Yeah, I was nominated. Well, let's
find out. I think that you know, HBO has 19,000 denominations.
But don't forget Netflix because the broadband guys are coming up
quick. No Yeah, that's right. I can't see my Netflix without
buffering. Screw those guys. What what? Middle East what
what?
What where's that?
Actress Kerry Washington attends the seventh annual essence black
women in Hollywood lunch in Beverly Hills. What is that
there for us dumb makhana Hey nominated for lead actor in True
Detective. What about Woody? I don't know I hate why you even
asked me this.
Well, I'm looking at okay, you're looking at that. And as I
look at the MS Anza homepage, I got a bunch of news stories.
Sterling calls wife pig you will slue NBAA until he dies,
oh, wow, this is great. This is really good. Well, that's
important. This
is a good one Bergdahl. You know, Bergdahl. Bergdahl
pictured with Taliban leader courtesy of NBC News. There's a
picture of Bergdahl smiling with some Taliban guy Guilty as
charged, guilty in the eyes of the public. All right, enough of
that. That's what I want to play. The second thing, which is
one of my kind of the Theses about why we're never going to
get any sort of package equality would, while we're never going
to get any sort of campaign finance reform, because the
media, which is the influential number one influence in the
world will take all the money, they take all the money, and
they're not going to give up that money and go along with
these programs. But we listen to Michael Copps again, going on
and on about naively I might add going on and on about what's
needed. And then when he discusses this disclosure thing,
I'm going to ask you a question after this is over.
So I'm glad you mentioned our political ads. When you were in
the studio with us about a year ago, we talked about the need
for disclosure of all this ad spending on broadcast during
elections. Now in the past year, we haven't seen the FCC suddenly
take the reins like they could and and really forced this
disclosure. But you were just on NPR talking about this.
Yeah. Was went over 400 stations just this this past weekend.
There's tremendous interest in Congress, when the new chairman
of the FCC was nominated went up for his confirmation hearing
this issue came up in a rather controversial fashion, but it
came up there is support for what we're talking about, here
are those ads that were subjected to at home, let's say
this message brought to you by Citizens For purple mountain
majesties and amber waves of grain and then might be a
chemical company dumping sludge into the ocean, there's no way
you don't know because that's all you know, and what's section
317 of the communication statute, going back a long, long
way requires never been forced, is that you are told who is
actually sponsoring an app. So I want them to update the rules.
You don't have to pass a law, you don't have to wait for the
president introduced anything. You don't have to wait for
Congress to pass a law, they're not going to pass the law is on
the books, the FCC can update the rules, and have a
requirement in place long before the 2016 elections. If they'd
really get off the duff, they could do it before the 2014
elections. So that when you saw those as you'd know who was
trying to buy your vote, or persuade you to vote, and it
might change your perspective, a little bit on the message as
they're trying to drill into your brain. Okay, I got a
question. Oh, hold on a second. All right. All right.
So he doesn't want the sponsored by whatever the name of the NGO
or whatever the group is, he wants who's really behind. Now,
this is one of the specialties of yours. I say I do, I can do
it, but you really like to do, which is to dig and dig and dig
into find out who's behind it. Because it's usually a chain.
It's like one of those TV shows one of those mysteries that are
on television, where they find out this company is owned by
another company. There's an umbrella company, there's a
company that owns that, and there's a company that owns the
umbrella company, there's a come and then you find some guy at
the end that happens to be the criminal.
And by the way, you know, you know what the answer always is?
No, oh, come on. Of course. You know the answer. Koch brothers.
Always the Koch brothers
or Soros on the other side. Yeah, it's always Soros with the
Koch brothers. But this isn't so non trivial. This is not you to
get to the Koch brothers who some of these organizations is
like, it's almost impossible. And who are you to say, I am an
organization I'm an NGO called the Americans for for the nose
for red dogs. And, and I get money from all kinds of people.
Now what you don't have to don't have to report you don't have to
report it's not you don't have
to report it. How do you get to the real you can't do it. This
is this is idealistic bullcrap. Yes. If I'm the Americans for
red dogs, that's what its gonna that's the only thing you can
prove. You can't prove the Koch brothers gave me money.
Hey, you know, let's be done. If the Koch brothers gave us money,
I'd be dancing in the streets.
Yeah, well, the Cobra
Bring it on. Cuz
this is nonsense now and it's not going to be ever the FCC is
not going to do anything. This is I don't even know why people
keep talking about it. Well, then let's not. I've stopped all
right.
Let us go to the war on men. This is a little after jerk of
the Hobby Lobby case. As you know, now of course, we're
desperately trying to figure out how to pay for this even though
we know that it's all in the insurance companies in their
agreement that they have to pay and And obviously when the
Supreme Court votes for your side, you're great at these
people a vision. And when they vote against you, then they're
then there. Well, Harry Reid sums it up.
You know, we have so much to do this month. But the one thing
we're going to do during this work period, sooner rather than
later, is to ensure that women's lives are not determined by
virtue of five white men.
The Supreme Court has now been five white men. That's pretty
low. That is pretty low.
What does he want instead? Wait. Yeah,
I don't know. Who cares? It doesn't matter. It's pandering
to the base. He wants to give me this pandering. He's a pander or
disguise horrible hinderer. I
tell you, you know,
I'm surprised he doesn't blame the Koch brothers. Not and I've
never heard not.
Not in that clip. Actually, it's the five white Koch brothers. So
Nudelman was on the Hill. You know where as as new Newman?
Newman, Newland, Newland, Nudelman, Newland Newman, Kagan.
And of course now we were still all over Russia. Because Because
of obviously, and it was interesting. Is it Corkers Bob
Corker?
That's it. Yeah, yeah. Bob Corker, he
was kind of cool. He was just basically calling Nudelman out
saying you're full of crap. The sanctions we're putting up is
always overdue to some sanctions. We have category
category sanctions or industry, industry selective sanctions,
but nothing's really actually happening other than just a lot
of yelling. And he kind of called Nudelman to it. And it's
kind of funny to watch,
as President Obama has said, we will judge Russia by its
actions, not by its words, the US and Europe have imposed
repeated rounds of sanctions to increase the cost. Russia pays
for its choices.
Increase the costs. That's right, the increased the costs.
And as you quoted, Mr. Chairman, we are ready to impose more
costs, including targeted sector specific sanctions. So very
soon, if Russia does not decisively change course, and
break its support for sadly, it was noted that we have some
people here that are very committed public servants that I
respect, but I have to say, sometimes I'm embarrassed for
you, as you constantly talk about sanctions, and yet,
candidly, we never see them put in place. No, it has to be very
frustrating to continue to wake up in the mornings and look in
the mirror, practice talking, but know that nothing's gonna
happen.
That's pretty bad. Hey, practice that this morning in front of
the mirror and know that nothing's happening because
you're full of crap. Thank you, Chairman. Well,
then we have not seen progress on any of the areas that I
outlined. We are continuing the conversation with the Europeans
about the right moment for sanctions. There was a moment
where we had 40,000 Russian troops wringing the border, we
threatened sanctions, and those troops moved back. That is
absolutely untrue. absolutely untrue. They stayed on the
border, weeks and weeks. And then they kept saying they were
moving away. And our NATO friends kept saying they're not
moving away. That is absolutely not true. What you just said
there was a moment when we had cut 40,000 combat units ready to
move. A lot of them move back, but you're not wrong that a
significant number return.
You're not wrong, though. Homina Homina Homina.
Wow, a liar. Wow,
he lies or she lie. Now. This Ukraine situation? Of course,
the focus is completely gone. I think we're more interested in,
you know, three and a half billion dollars needed for to
stop the surge of illegal children, whatever. I don't
know. But what's going on is that everyone is this The
scripts are intermingling. And of course, we don't care really
about Putin anymore at the moment at least. How, however,
the does not stop the fact that in eastern Ukraine, we have
people dying and being killed by Ukrainians and this is that
person you just heard Victoria Nuland it put that regime in
place. We know that because she said so in the telephone call
where she said eff the EU. And these people are now killing
Ukrainians. This was not happening before Nudelman
started handing out the pretzels. Not like this. And
this is brought up in the Jen Psaki show in State Department
by an RT journalist I will say which is done specifically to
put her on the spot. I have not seen this show up on our tea so
I don't know if they use it. But so this journey Listen, this
woman holds up pictures, which you can find on the webs of
citizens killed, maimed, ripped apart, bombed to shreds. And she
says, How is this possible that America is is all behind this
key of this government, which is doing this? Can't you say, Hey,
enough? This is not okay. How would you answer this? John, if
you were if you were coaching Jen Psaki and someone confronted
you with civilians being killed by a government that you, your
boss put in place,
I would say that we these pictures are not verified. These
could be fake, they could be photoshopped. We don't believe
this is actually going on to this extreme. The information we
have from reliable sources indicates that a lot of this is
not true.
Oh, you're hired? Because someone gave her some bad advice
case. But
it seems that you are downplaying that honestly,
downplaying the scale of the crisis there. You know, these
are just, that's the reason why I would show this picture is
these are shots of civilians blown to pieces in, in their
homes, in their backyards in the village of in the village in
eastern Ukraine last week. And QI have ordered these killings.
Nobody else. Well, what is the US do to stop here from doing
it? I'm from the village of Kondrashov.
Finished, go ahead and plenty finish your questions.
A little defensive, go ahead, finish. But I've gotta wait for
you to finish.
I think just to be clear, on the ground, the reports that we've
seen, and the vast majority of people who are reporting from
the ground report that the Russian backed separatists are
the ones who are not only in engaged in, in violence and
efforts to take over buildings and attack people and innocent
civilians. And they have no place doing that in a country.
That's a sovereign country like Ukraine. So that's people
bearish and airstrikes ordered by key, if not by Russia, and
not by the separatist.
The Government of Ukraine is defending the country of
Ukraine. And I think they have every right to do that, as does
the international community. And these people have right to live,
don't they? Well, I think the people of Ukraine have the right
to live in peace and security without Russian backed
separatists attacking their homes and going into a
buildings. And I think that's where the root cause of this is,
and we shouldn't we shouldn't forget that fact.
Don't even deny that it's happening. Just say Oh, Putin.
Well, that sucked. That stunk.
Yeah, it's stunk, but it's also pathetic.
And of course, no, the situation's pathetic. Their
response was pathetic, too. Yeah. Apparently they're not.
Well, this is the Neo cons of taking over the Obama. State
Department's hilarious.
Well, not really. I mean, President Obama has, you know,
having
to be oblivious to this?
I don't think he can. I
mean, he says they have with him. They just lie to him in
those meetings, and they don't let him watch television.
I don't think he cares. I really don't
say it's probably your right. It's short term or the whole is
forget about it given up move on just every everywhere you go. So
well. I've given example, then we'll take a little break. If
this is just say whatever, whatever we tell, you just say
it. So here we go. This is the immigration crisis, which is
some trumped up bullcrap crisis, okay. All of a sudden is really
important. We've got kids, we got videos, just whatever you do
just distract from everything else. Here's the president in
2011. In Texas, talking about immigration and Congress and
what can be done sometimes when I talk to immigration advocates,
you know, they wish I could just bypass Congress and change the
law myself. But that's not how democracy works now. 2014 in
Texas today,
I'm beginning a new effort to fix as much of our immigration
system as I can, on my own. Oh, okay. Without Congress, but
that's a good set double. Yeah, we'll get that from someplace
else.
I was prompted to do it. Let's put it that way. I had to clip
it myself. But it was an it was an obvious giveaway.
Yeah, it's a good one. Yeah. So these guys operate.
It's really crazy. Let's take a little break for a second Johnny
got plenty to do.

who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.

my daughter's listened either. But my daughter doesn't listen
either. No,
I think we're a holes. No, no, no,
no, not at all. No, she actually. She she's she's in
living in Europe and she'll say Oh, Dad, I'm so happy that you
told me what to look out for with this global warming crap
she said because it's scary the way they make it sound but you
know we're gonna have horrible storms and we're all gonna die
and we're living under seven feet under the under sea level
as I said, but I know that it's not true because you know, I
know you. She but then she says, but I'm still pissed that you
made me drink water out of the rain barrel. Instead, be only in
in London. I said you shouldn't be drinking that water is full
of crap he's drinking out of here. I caught some rainwater.
She didn't she just to this day, she's still angry about that.
She doesn't lie wasn't didn't make her sick. And she didn't
think it was cool. Is this dumb? Why is it dumb is perfectly good
water generally, I'm just telling you going through a
pollution club and rainwater generally clears the air and
then all the rain water is pretty tasty. To vitamin
natural. She's
also mad about the time that I served her lamb and told her it
was steak. You know, these are things that kids hold on to for
a while to get some really mild lamb it's often tastes like
steak, right?
It was just a texture thing. It was um, you know, kids when
they're young, they they're not they're nutty about stuff like
don't I can't eat lamb, okay, whatever. And then, you know,
her mom was out and I cooked dinner and I made Lamb Chop She
liked and she liked it, but it was and then she got a stool to
climb up to the stove to look into the pan and she went. You
couldn't tell by the smell.
No, no, because I did a great job. It was really she is this
lamb. No, it's nice beef. Okay, tastes good daddy visits she
didn't trust me. This is kids
kids. Oh, Alicia is skeptical. That's a good thing. Yes.
But she won't listen to the show. But God forbid, you don't
want to kid with your parents. You know. You don't want to talk
to your parents after a while.
Let alone listen to him blather on about world politics. When
there's good celebrity gossip that they can pay. It's bad
enough when the DJ is over here cleaning in my office, right as
we speak. Somebody's known that as rude yesterday. And so I had
that National Enquirer sitting down on the tip thing that has
the cake Gosling's House of Horrors, and I'm not Chelsea's
real dad. Right she picks it up she starts going through it page
by page and she's just she's engrossed he's articles but she
was reading
about the Kate Goslin. Yes
so it gets they got the right
guys know what to do man this she's reading
it and she says all these if she says look at this look at this
one did this is like a discussion. Look at this one of
these see her edicts don't leave the television on when nobody's
watching it. What's so bad about that? They don't see how that's
a whole it makes her a horrible mom because she wants the
television turn alright enough.
Enough. So enough oh by the way, Nick Johannes happy birthday

My goodness. We have three today. Gentlemen, for your
contribution to the best podcast universe. I hereby pronounce the
dingling Night of the i Four corridor, Sir Anthony and
Blacknight. Sir stop Swiss knights of the Zurich islands
for you. We've got cabinets, Kevin, this animism Cabernet,
how librarians are Jager bombs, hookers and blow rent boys in
Chardonnay, geishas and suck a or if you want, we've got mutton
in Mead. And please go to nogen nation.com/rings Pick up your
ring. It's well deserved. I think you now get a confirmation
email. It was an issue with that Eric's working on fixing that.
So if you don't get it, immediately it will happen. And
the rings do come up go out as quickly as possible. And We
highly appreciate your courage and your contribution to the
show. None of this could be discussed or talked about in any
manner. First of all, if you're a journalist, investigative
journalist, you busy you're busy doing appearances, you know,
meeting with sponsors, believe me that journalists have to do
this particularly the people who are doing the news, reading the
news, there's really no time to actually do any work. Now,
something happened yesterday or over the course of the past two
days which was very peculiar. And I picked up on something
which I have not seen anyone talk about. And this is Glenn
Greenwald, Don Raff who promised us fireworks and a huge finale
as a part of his book and the intercept, which finally now has
released another news story on his on his blog is $250 million
blog WordPress blog. And it is a turd it is a total news turd
complete fail. He's doing his best to talk to everybody to
hype it up and and it needs analysis. And so there's a
couple of interviews that he did the the real turd is Shep Smith.
Now it's funny because here's, you know, here's two gay guys
talking to each other. And it's a little like, where well you
ran well, not that I don't want to generalize but she Yeah. And,
and essentially Shep Smith says, this is a turd man what was up
with this big thing? And then in case you didn't know what the
story is, it's kind of important. I'll give you the
setup. Grand Greenwald don't rap has now released a document that
in some way kind of shows that the NSA was eavesdropping on
email from what he calls five Muslim American leaders. And
that is the headline and I think the leaders thing is somewhat
misleading. And it's kind of like what It this is your
fireworks would. Now let's listen to this to Shep Smith
calling him out as it being a turd story. Glenn Greenwald
joins us now. He broke the news on his website, the intercept.
He's also I love his website. That's where it starts. Wow, a
website. Yeah, your website.
Glenn Greenwald joins us now. He broke the news on his website,
the intercept. He's also the author of the book, no place to
hide Edward Snowden, the NSA and the US surveillance state head
was on you were on the program with us, what a couple of weeks
ago and then this got delayed a little bit and we were talking
bombshells and fireworks and all that, Glenn to be quite frankly,
Frank, in today's news cycle, this is being played below
President Obama being offered a puff puff pass in Colorado.
I mean, was there more and I miss it? There, it's gotten a
lot of play. We
just posted it last night at midnight, you know, the New York
Times has a very long article on it. That's a long article to get
a long article.
thing, look, I mean, the fact is that there are people who look
at the targets and will think, oh, that's only Muslims. And
even though they're my fellow Americans, I'm not really
bothered by it. This is, hey, take that ship, which is only
care about Muslims, brother. I think sometimes that's part of
it. But I think the the applications are sinking in
nicely. Are there more names? Are there more people? Were
there some who wouldn't cooperate or help me understand
the bigger picture? Yeah, we this is what was a really hard
story to report. I mean, for one thing, we wanted to make sure
that anybody that we reported, we were very comfortable that we
were in, you know, blowing, legitimate, ongoing
investigation. And at the same time, a lot of people did not
want to be publicly identified as being targets of the FBI or
the NSA, for fear stigma that it would produce. This is this is
very interesting. Oh, now there's stigma. And now you're
protecting people all of a sudden, because they didn't want
to cooperate. Very interesting. And we wanted to honor people's
wishes in that regard, and not drag them unwittingly into the
public light, especially if they were private individuals. So all
of these five or people who were willing to come forward and
speak out, we felt like they were very illustrative cases,
it's five is a manageable number to report and our investigation
into this list is definitely ongoing. Is this a finale? Is
there more we're going to learn from the Snowden documents? In
other words, oh, Yan, Yan, what? And listen to Greenwell come
back, or is it? Is this the finish? No, I have stories that
are already written, in fact that still will be published
other privileged? No, no, that's the worst thing you can say. I
have stories I've already written but I'm not publishing
them just yet. And you certainly won't be getting the exclusive
anymore ships. journalists from around the world are working
with us on the archive. There's definitely a lot of more big
stories to come. But for me this this fills in a really important
part of the picture, which is putting a human face on how we
all know that the Obama ministration is both surveilling
all of us. But this puts a human face on the kinds of dangers
that can be presented to dissidents or people who
criticize the government from the most invasive forms of
surveillance. So it's important but not the last, okay? Now. So
it's it's a dud from a news perspective. I mean, if you if
if if you could only have said the NSA was eavesdropping on
Duck Dynasty, or anything of that ilk, or Goslin, anything,
it would have been fabulous. But now he has none of that. And
what's worse thing, what's worse, is this story is really
only slamming the Bush administration, the
government under President George W. Bush allegedly began
monitoring the American Muslims soon after the 911 terrorist
attacks. In some instances, targets included members of the
President's own party, Faisal Gill was a GOP operative and
served in the Department of Homeland Security under Bush,
the spine allegedly continued through 2008 and a joint
statement, the Department of Justice and the Director of
National Intelligence say the government values privacy just
as much as national security, and that it's entirely false
that US intelligence agencies conduct electronic surveillance
of political religious or activist figures solely because
they disagree with public policies or criticize the
government.
So he's yes Well, I
was gonna say a couple of things one you expect the if you're in
the in the government at the level of a national security
anything you have to assume that they're looking at everything
you do. I mean, that just like well, we're going to we're going
to get to that now. The second part is of course, I don't know
if you read this but but I don't know what the deal is with Paul
Carr that guy that the Pendo daily brought over car course
it's got some something Rico was asked about Greenwald. Yeah. And
it but it's great because bringing up the obvious
that's not what you told me the obvious but that's not the real
kicker was
While the obvious in this case is that Greenwell only brought
this up because it condemns the Bush administration, he will not
say anything bad about the Obama administration because all
mudhar is part of the Obama administration and was and then
it's implied that Obama dar has Greenwald and his payroll to
shut him up because he's all part of the whole Obama deal.
drive my car. Is his name pure drive my car.
Yeah, I don't use that.
Well, yes, that's the obvious, but that is not the kicker. Now,
here's what is the here's so whenever this happens, the way
it works in media land is they're always they're looking
for something to grab onto what can we make of this turd, to
make to dress it up and make it into something that we can shout
a headline. And they've only got one thing and that's very sad
for grand Greenwell. Don't laugh, because it's just not
important in the whole story. Well, let me just put a couple
of things in your reporting in one of your questions. The list
does talk about spying between 2002 and 2008. But the spying
and question on these individuals who are in front of
you, and also the other three we named took place 2006 2007 2008.
So in the case of FISA, for example, it was many years after
he was ever asked that council, it was actually during the time
that he was the Republican nominee for the House of
Delegates seat in Virginia. And so you know, the question that
you asked him, but what about these clients that you've
represented? There are all sorts of people who represent highly
questionable foreign governments, Bob Livingston, the
former House Speaker, Representative Omar Qaddafi and
Libya. Joe Trippi represents the Government of Bahrain, Lanny
Davis represents virtually every tyrant on the planet. None of
those people who are similarly situated or who have greater
contacts and who aren't Muslim seem to be on this list. And
that's the reason that I think it raises the suspicion along
with documents like the one we publish, where the FBI on a FISA
form for a sample is writing things like Mohammed raghead and
using ethnic slurs against Arabs and Muslims documents we've seen
before from the FBI and the NSA raising further questions about
what the motive is. So it's so
dumb, Mohammed rag head,
so dumb, that the only thing that Greenwald could turn this
into because he got called back or whatever he was told to shut
up, be right, of course, by a drive by car who was told to
shut up by the administration no doubt is, if they hate Muslims,
they call them rag heads towel heads is horrible. I can't
believe this. And that's the only thing the administration is
responding to saying, Well, we have to have sensitivity
training. This is not good. But here's the kicker, John, I'm
waiting. Who are these people? Do you remember? Okay, do you
remember when there was a letter sent by the Senate Security
Committee? Unfortunately, Bachman was in there. Of course,
she had whenever whatever she does is immediately deemed a nut
job about high level department of homeland security consultants
who have high level security clearance. Right, right, right.
These are these guys. Nihad Awad is the executive director of
Kerr car, the Council on American Islamic Relations, who
were indicted as being a a front to raise money for Hamas, right.
And this is 2012 that this has been taking place. These are the
people that they've been going after, and not a single person
is mentioning this. And this guy, Faisal, who did not decide
he did not disclose everything I researched at Faisal Gill, he
did not disclose that he had worked for the American Muslim
Council, before he took his job at DHS. And this is well
documented that I did not disclose it. And that's why it
became a problem. And that's why the Senate Security Council
brought this up in a letter and said, Hey, we got to be careful
with this, because, you know, this is Muslim Brotherhood
stuff. And they even came up with a bill, you know, to do
that. I think there's a bill now, to make the Muslim
Brotherhood a terrorist. This is when it was all Muslim
Brotherhood, Muslim Brotherhood, and these people are all related
to the Muslim Brotherhood. And now somehow they're getting,
like, put up as Oh, oh, they were being called reg heads in
the Bush administration. What is going on? Why is no one making
this connection? You work for the Department of Homeland
Security, you know, that this nation is under constant threat?
You have all people must understand sometimes
investigators and look in places and they don't find anything but
it's important for them to look
absolutely I have no problem with surveillance surveillance
needs to happen, but there has to be a reason for it. There has
to be at least something in my background that would lead
someone to believe that okay, this person should be suspected
of some questionable activities. I worked for the American Muslim
Council. And after that, I obtained my security clearance.
So clearly all that was disclosed and it was proven that
it was disclosed. There is just nothing there and no background.
And the other thing I would just say, lastly, is the FISA court
has a very high success rate. I think it's like 99.6%, or
something ridiculous like that. If you were to go to any county
in the United States and look at the success rate for obtaining a
search warrant for any crime, you know, breaking and entering
robbery, it would not be that high. So clearly, there is
something wrong with the problems just very briefly, you
think it was because you're Muslim? I can't think of any
other reason you think
they're literally reason. Yeah. You hate Muslims. So this is
very strange. And I do not understand why Jake Tapper. Why.
Shep, Shep Smith. Anyway, all of the no one is bringing this up
and say, Hey, wait a minute, Aren't you the guy that you know
that the Senate was going after? Because they didn't know what
your background was? Muslim Brotherhood? What is this, John?
Why is no one bringing that up? Is this to make these guys good?
Or this is, well,
there's something going on here. That'd be flat footed, because I
don't know why they haven't brought any of this up.
This has this something nefarious about something amiss.
So first of all, let's just let's just analyze this in real
time. So there's no mention of all of this stuff that was
happening during the Obama years. And by the way, it's a
perfect opportunity to slam Bachman or any other
Republicans. It's perfect. It seems like a slam dunk but
they're not doing that. Instead they're saying well, yes, just
because you're Muslim and you're Muslim American is too bad Casey
case is dead because usually the roll him out. He's like, I'm an
American, first performing Muslim. It's, no one is saying
anything about this. And this was big. This is only a year and
a half two years ago. It was this was a big deal and the
connection to the Muslim Brotherhood and this.
Well, he had. Okay, here's one possibility with Abba Doom or
whatever her name Aberdeen. Yes, Aberdeen and her connection to
the Muslim Brotherhood through relations. And her insight into
the White House at some point, because she's got connections,
she probably friends, I think if you look deep enough, aebischer
there's a Valerie Jarrett connection. And I think they've
decided to hush this up, because it's possible that they're still
looking into something that's going on now with some people
that are currently working within the White House, or
around the White House or have some connection to it. And it's
and they've decided to just not discuss it, because either
they're in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood at that level, which
is always possible, or they just don't want to talk, they want to
do want to keep the lid on it. Because there may be some things
you know, they gotta they're investigating something that
needs further investigation. So they're just gonna let it slide.
Well. So one of the two it's I don't see a third possibility.
It's I guess it may be a whitewash maybe there was new
information coming out beyond
by the new information clip. My favorite is pretty good.
Yeah, it was, you know that there was new investigations
coming or I've got information man, you should has come to like
something was gonna happen. And it was, you know, maybe you it's
the same old players again, and Muslim Brotherhood connections,
who knows what, and then I know that Greenwald delayed the
release of this fireworks because, right, he's been he has
this. He's sad, because he's not apologetic. This is not the
grand green bow show who I know,
he's a great. He's also I think, is good in the final throes of
selling as many books as he can. And he's done. Because I think
he was essentially bought off call. Yeah. It was, I don't know
how much money would take to shut a guy up permanently. But I
would guess 5 million bucks in his bank account in Brazil is
the Shut up and get out of town and stay out of town. Sign this
thing. And if you do violate this, you will shoot you. And
here's $5 million, and just go away and stay away. If you're
gonna do my book, I gotta sell more books. Okay, well let you
go through the app and then there's and then you're done.
You're done. You're out. I think is a possibility. And this other
thing is obviously is I think you nailed it. It's it's covered
up for some specific reason and my opinion could only be one of
two things. One, the White House is knee deep in it. They're all
connected to the Muslim Brotherhood as we speak. That's
I'm pretty sure of that. That has that's a possibility. And
the other one is was an ongoing investigation and they've
managed to put a gag on the whole thing, because it's a bull
crap story is fireworks. Yeah, no fireworks, the fireworks it
probably would involve the White House.
That's when it doesn't even come close to the White House.
No. And then she keeps out of the completely away from the
White House as much as possible, which I think, you know, car
noticed, but I yeah, this is I think it's over for him. I think
he's really, he's done. He's gonna work on some memoirs or
something like that.
He was he was already back in. He's behind his back in Brazil.
Yeah. So that's kind of telling right there. Interesting.
You could lead a pretty good life in the middle of nowhere.
Brazil, if you're with $5 million dollars. Yeah. Yeah.
And meanwhile, the Senate Committee has adopted the cyber
just keeping in this in the snow job stuff has adopted the
cybersecurity bill, which is the the witches bill, what's her
name? Which which is not the beach, not the Pelosi one the
other one Feinstein would that's the bill that this is not the
freedom for America something rather act. This is the here's
what a journalist is act. Law. Yeah. So the committee has
adopted that, of course, that doesn't mean that it's that it's
through or done in any manner. But you know what that means?
And the House and the President actually, let me see if I have
this, I believe. No one talks about this at all. House bill
passes a bill to boost Department of Homeland
Security's use of social media in emergencies. Did you see
this?
No.
It's really, it's sad. So this is a bill. Let me just see one
as a little congested here. This is a bill that puts together a
committee, which will include no less than three members of the
social media industry. Well, let me think, what do we have?
Facebook? Twitter, and what should we throw in there just
for good measure? That's no googling for it, why not just
throw Google. But it's no less than so it could be either or it
could be 30. And they will call it the social media Working
Group act of 2014. And we'll be a working group. And
essentially, this is to determine here one review of
current and emerging social media technologies being used to
support preparedness and response activities related to
terrorist attacks, of best practices and lessons learned on
the use of social media during the response to terrorist
attacks that occurred during the period cetera, et cetera,
recommendations to improve DHS, his use of social media, and to
improve information sharing among DHS and its components and
state and local governments and the working group, which is
those companies just heard of a summary of coordination of
efforts with the private sector to discuss, discuss and resolve
legal operational technical privacy and security concerns.
And of course, this will be the intent is to for the government,
Department of Homeland Security to be able to use social media
in the event of a climate change event. In the event of a
terrorist Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Clarinex In other words, the next hurricane is not going to
be a hurricane anymore. It's going to be a climate change
event. This is a good one and
terrorist attack, or threat thereof the
climate change event terrorist
or threat or other emergencies. It's just anything. So here's
what's gonna happen people viewer, here's how it's gonna
go. Attention attention. This is Lindsay Lohan on Twitter telling
you to cower in place caller in place. Believe me, you're going
to be told by Lindsay Lohan and by Justin Bieber's Twitter that
there's an emergency and maybe Perez Hilton Well, this is
you think that it is pathetic
now? So that's the the legislation side. But let's just
since we haven't discussed it, of course, you know, we've had
to terrorize everybody. Now we have this. You need to turn on
your cell phone. I've got let me ask you. Well, I'll ask you a
question after this. Let's play this. This is a an ABC package
sent to affiliates around the Gitmo nation, about turning on
your your iPhone before you go through security. Otherwise, you
can't get on the plane. And we have man on the street which is
my favorite. So you can guess what people will be saying about
this. The latest measure
passengers flying into the US should prepare for longer
security lines as agents check Electronic devices with
batteries, cell phones, DVD players, laptops and more must
be turned on at the gate or else you can't board the plane.
That's just part of flying if you don't want to fly, or if you
don't want to inconvenience no fly, I'm a rule follower. So if
a rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
I'm a rule follower.
You tell me what the rules are. And I follow
why. If you don't want to inconvenience no fly, I'm a rule
follower. So if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do
it. Don't necessarily like it.
US intelligence has learned bomb makers could be hiding
explosives and those devices.
They are small items, but it takes very little explosive to
penetrate the hole of an aircraft and cause catastrophic
damage catastrophic are
fighting an instability in Syria and now Iraq has American
officials worried that both countries have become a breeding
ground for terrorists, some with passports that could allow for
easy travel to the United States through Germany, never evolving
ever more sophisticated adversaries. So I think the US
has to step up its game step out. 250 airports offer nonstop
service into the US but TSA is not releasing which of those
airports is asking passengers to turn their electronics on. Okay,
a couple of questions. One, what is the last time you actually
turn your phone off ever? No one does not even an on and off but
who turns their phone off? When you go through security? You
turn your phone off? No, of course not. So who does that?
That people? Oh, I've got to keep it charged. Please. When's
the last time you ran out before you were on? Get on the plane?
Stop? This is stupid, too. Why don't we arrest every reporter?
They were were telling the terrorist. Don't put your bomb
in the iPhone. I mean, does anyone see the
wrench the last time a bomb was in an iPhone? Does anyone give
some examples of iPhones with bombs or Darb laptops with
bombs? Oh
don't ask questions. But this rule follow? This is so wrong.
This is so wrong. Don't people see that? This is ridiculous. Do
terrorists not know now that we're we Oh, and by the way if
you're TSA I would wouldn't want to turn your phone on over there
or I don't want it blowing up in my face. Yeah, really? It makes
no sense. What is this? How stupid do we have to be? Does
any of that. We're the TSA. TSA gonna Hey, if you know your
phone, don't turn it on. Don't run it. No, no. Hey, man, step
back. Don't turn it on. And who has a CD player? Hello. Oh, I
didn't notice CD player comes on with the CD
our day. And my
Walkman do I have to show you my cassette tapes. But I have Dolby
metallic tapes. The insulting This is insulting. I actually
had that same clip there's a couple of clips I want to get
out of the way before we finish here. We're
gonna get we're way overdue. John cloudier versus the
terrorist
crackdown in France, which I think is interesting because it
reflects what we're been doing well, long.
Aaron, France fears that young men and women may be heading to
Iraq and Syria to fight Jihad have prompted the government to
make changes so the law ministers have presented a new
bill designed to give the state the ability to block radicals
from accessing war zones. Shelley sitbon explains.
French Islamist radicals back from jihadi war zones have
become a major threat. Hamid mirar killed three children a
teacher on three soldiers in Toulouse and mortal born in
2012. Last May, Medina moves back from Syria shot dead for
people at the Brussels Jewish Museum. The French government
says there are dozens of other potential terrorists like them
in the country. Hundreds of French nationals fought in
jihadist war zones. With its new bill, the government hopes to
stop new candidates from following the same path.
To everywhere in Europe, there are citizens who are enrolling
overseas jihadist operations. They see violence and barbaric
brutality Babai and when they come back, they are a danger to
security country.
If the bill is adopted, the state would be authorized to ban
suspected radicals from traveling and validate their
passports been Airlines for flying them abroad. It could
also block access to websites that praise jihad. French
radicals government believes conjoin terror groups abroad
excellent blocking website I guess. You know, this is a
whereas it now this is ah maybe you don't have it this was just
in in in the UK they have the the new emergency powers.
Yeah cracking down everywhere and I haven't done that since
with the phones you gotta turn your phone on. And the only
other clip I think it's stories that kind of stands alone. The
only other clip I thought was is the is I don't do we discussed
it. I don't think the Blackwater story were black. I just think
there's something very funny about this story.
I wonder if
I think we have a moral the news and shades the week a top US war
contractor in Iraq threatened to kill State Department official
and
here we played this. We played a similar clip a couple shows ago.
Okay, sorry, I'll
finish looking into the wrongdoings at the firm which
used to be called Blackwater. The New York Times has published
a report which claims the manager gloated that there was
little investigators could do about it because Blackwater was
so heavily involved in US work, the document indicates to the
Blackwater's top manager in a low even tone of voice told one
of the government's agents that he could kill him without
blinking an eye. Yes, State Department investigators who
were in Iraq, therefore, to curb any further investigation, they
described stuff there were the notorious security firms out of
control, and that it was operating above the law. But the
American Embassy sided with Blackwater.
I mean, yeah, of course, let me add to that the President just
signed into law. Senate Bill 1681, which is the see the short
title of this act is the intelligence Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014. And it's essentially the money for the
for the following intelligence organizations, which have some
I'm sure flows through to these guys just listen to the
intelligence and intelligence related activities in the United
States government that we had, can you name 16 of them? I can
name about five. Okay, so we have Office of the Director of
National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the
Department of Defense, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the
National Security Agency, the Department of the Army, the
Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force, the
Coast Guard, Department of State Department of the Treasury,
Department of Energy, Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, National
Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial Intelligence
Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security. And of
course, there's a classified schedule of authorizations that
goes along with Bill S 1681, which you don't get to see
because that's the real information. And yeah, it's like
the NSA has like half a billion here, half a billion there. But
this is what's interesting. consistently throughout this
bill, I'll give you an example section 604, policies and
procedures, non applicability to certain termination. So a lot of
this is about whistleblower stuff, and about responsibility
of these agencies. So for instance, here covered
intelligence community element defined in the sections, the
Central Intelligence Agency, intelligence of the National
Geospatial Intelligence Agency, and everywhere throughout this
document, it says does not include Federal Bureau of
Investigation. And whistleblowers, if you're at the
FBI, you're not included. It's really weird. I've marked it up
so maybe someone can, it can give us some information. But
everywhere in this document it the FBI is specifically excluded
from any kinds of limitations on authority or things they can do.
Very, very
from the limitation clauses, yes. You can't do this. You
can't do that. Except the FBI can't do this. You can't do
that. Except Yes. Yeah. Yes.
does not include. Yeah. Very, very weird. He
can't gun run except the SAP FBI.
Yeah, I'm telling you. It's really really weird,
huh? Well, good for them. Alright. Secret Police.
I just have one thing I want to wind up with because I've been
saying it for years ever since we started this show. Pretty
much from day one. I was living in London. And I think I told
you many times the pedophile network in the UK, in the
Netherlands in Belgium and yes, I'll take it all the way to
George Bush's White House for sure. With Sr. and the remember
the documentary The was it called the Boys Town
to call boys lost boys or low Boys Town whatever the town
Yeah.
Which is still around which never aired, which you know the
connection between the Bush White House and abusive
children. And I've always said in the UK, it is the powerful
elite is the politicians. It is the entertainment industry and
it is the Royals of this ELMS house thing, which is being had
been consistently covered up is now blowing up in the UK. And of
course, you know, we have like a new committee will be brought
together and
Yeah, nothing will happen, nothing will happen. But the
closest thing the anything happening I think is even just
as a point or more are these apparently these women's
shelters as it were for the pregnant women in the early part
of the last century where they would bring any pregnant woman
in in Ireland, and they put it in the house and then they get
the senator off and kill her baby. They're finding all these
mass graves. Oh, yeah, it's horrible.
Well, let me just play this, this one clip because there's a
couple but only play one. There's some funny stuff. We're
Cameron saying, Oh, we can even I'll give them power to
investigate us. Right. So here's Peter Mac McKelvey, McCovey,
McKelvey, who in 2012. And by the way, the documents have
mysteriously been destroyed of the initial investigation. Yeah,
no idea how it happened. But here he is. He was the original
exposure of this pedo bear phenomenon in the UK and was
ignored. And here now he's back in the limelight soon to be
dead, I'm sure.
I believe that there is strong evidence and an awful lot of
information that can be converted into evidence, if it's
investigated properly, that there's been an extremely
powerful elite amongst the highest levels of the political
classes for as long as I've been alive. And I'm 65 now. And
there's been sufficient reason to investigate it over and over
again, certainly for the last 30 years. And there's always been
the block and the cover up and the collusion to prevent that
happening. For the first time, I've got a belief that survivors
will come forward, and justice will be served for a lot of
survivors. But unfortunately, it's been left so late that a
lot of the abusers are now dead. But we're looking at the Lord's
we're looking at the commons, we're looking at judiciary,
we're looking at all institutions, where there'll be
a small percentage of pedophiles and a slightly larger percentage
of people who have known about it, but have felt that in terms
of their own self interest and self preservation, and for
political party reasons, it's been safer for them to cover it
up rather than deal with it. over many, many years. I've
spoken to a considerable number of victims, and most recently,
victims of perhaps the most powerful elite group of
pedophiles and I certainly believe that what they're saying
needs to be looked at into in great detail. The problem is
that they don't have the faith in the system, they don't have
the faith that people will believe them. Because the worst
part of sexual abuse is the power that poor powerful people
have over them and they don't believe that that power can ever
be broken and that they don't believe that the power can come
back to them. You understand what they say about what
was done is boring. Better stuff that guy's killing kids on the
boat. This is a course this is all you have to do as you kill
one of these witnesses and you use him as an example to
everybody else and of course he didn't You didn't kill him he
committed suicide Yes. And then you say oh, you're gonna be a
whistle but you got to talk about this really gonna happen
to bill over here to the aluminum in the gym. It's gonna
happen to Freddie and
they appointed the Baroness Butler Sloss to head the sex
abuse inquiries wheel spinning of the highest order and then
her turns out her brother was it's apparently was one of the
of course wheels spinning, but of course it is. But it doesn't
mean that I just want to gloat for a moment to say that I told
you so.
Yeah, but you've been saying this since the beginning of the
show. You told us so but there's nothing what's come of it?
Well, we'll say we'll have more dead people who will be oh he
well he did it but he's dead. This is the good stuff. Good
thing did
it He's dead. He's dead. Yeah, he did it he's dead that's yeah,
that's one of the things he did it he's dead the other ones
they need is they need to want to all I'm waiting for they just
need to get one royal one royal that will be funny because then
all the royal families will start blaming each other across
the whole year.
Never gonna happen you don't know they wind up dead. Princess
Diana was a royal and she wound up dead Yeah, is he dated the
wrong guy? Or who knows why ah.
All right, well, I'm sorry you don't like these stories but I
can't help but bring it up. I got a hold of clips and stuff
and it's all in the show notes are all dead and 633 dot no
agenda notes dot
I don't mean that as a pun. No,
I know you don't I know you don't. Okay, there's a lot of
stuff I'm going to save for Sunday show a lot of medical
related news which is kind of interesting. involving the Milan
Melinda Gates Foundation. Oh, good. The Haiti new virus in
Haiti. Oh good. Is he supposed to say, Oh, good.
New virus in Haiti? Yeah, they're doing everything they
can to kill off that public
doing going very well. And this is something are you doing a?
No, you wouldn't do that before a Sunday Dvorak Horowitz, I
heard, but I'm trying to get it confirmed that Spain is now has
issued a retroactive 0.03%. tax on bank deposits.
Have you heard of this? No. But I will look into it.
I can't get it to confirm, but I didn't have to know. And which,
of course, so goes back to January that what I'm hearing is
that, going back to January 1 of this year, there's a 0.03% tax
on all bank deposits, which of course, is stealing your money.
If it's really true.
Well, yeah, it's stealing your money, but in this figure and
depends on yeah, there's an economic rationale for doing
that. But it's another story. All right.
Well, I look forward to discussing that. And the report,
which I have several 100 pages which have started you can
already start looking at the DDP P interim report, which I have
in the show notes.
I don't even know what you're taught. What is DD PPP.
I'm glad you asked. No, you're not pathways to deep
decarbonisation.
Oh my god. Oh, yeah. Where did this come out of? Well,
there's a new conference going on right now, a new climate
change conference. And this is from the Institute for
Sustainable Development and international relations. And
they have come out with the the deep decarbonisation methodology
which we have to follow in order to not die from climate change.
And this will be your meme. Deep decarbonisation, which has gone
from carbon dioxide, what you that which you exhale to carbon
pollution. And if you're going to decarbonize isn't the
easiest, quickest way to decarbonize is to just kill
human beings
that would get rid of the problem rice, kill all humans.
I think this is solved. This is the problem. So 218 pages, which
I'm starting to read through its released by who was the DDP it's
