I wish he would have done that now he just sound like a stooge
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak on August 10 2014. Time again if
you're getting donation media assassination episode 642 This
is no agenda stomping on the tail that wags the dog from the
South Austin safe housing FEMA Region six here in the capital
of the drone Star State. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. Wait a minute, I'm up in
the Pacific Northwest, looking for double rainbows. I'm John C.
Dvorak. keel.
Wow. Hello, 2010. I'd like my meme
back. I had a dream last night to serve as I mentioned it. You
had a double rainbow dream? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, it was weird. I
did. Like this was a weird dream.
It was weird. Like, uncanny. not of this earth completely strange
or odd or
Okay. Okay. It was an odd dream. And I had I was in a dystopian
San Francisco, which doesn't make any sense if you think
about it. It's a redundancy. Yeah. I was in a dystopian San
Francisco where all the police cars were powered by steam
engines. And they have smokestacks coming out of the
hood.
Wow, this is a sea of a steampunk
steampunk city. Wow. And many of the police cars is we're not
we're on tracks. So they've got to go on a trailer on a trolley
track.
This is really it was because of the supermoon that's what
happened.
Oh, maybe and anyway so there's a double rainbow involved in the
in the dream and I and everyone I ever knew seems to have been
in this dream. We're hanging out at some bar. Which, you know,
makes some sense. Why
was I there at the bar if everybody you know, you
know, you weren't you were to New York. You were not at the
bar you don't like going to bars are left out in the hurry.
Wow, this is very interesting. So I do believe that there was
something going on last night. Mickey woke up at four in the
morning and she's like, ah, the moon. The moon. I have to go
outside and look at the moon.
John Moon he's howling at the moon. Why she had to go look.
Yeah, she's a werewolf. That's what it would have been funnier.
No, I didn't sleep very well. But I also believe it was
keeping us awake. It was huge. But no double rainbows. Now of
course she was sleeping next to me which is that's part of the
part of the what's going on?
I think I think I don't know.
I mean, if I were Freud and I were to tie with
say that was I've never had this dream of being floating around
San Francisco with the steam punk police cars is pretty
weird. Yeah, uncanny. Not of this. I know. But I can say
pretty weird because it was hey, look, I live in the system in
this unusual.
I live in the city whose slogan is Keep Austin weird. Think
about how I feel. Okay. The overuse of the word weird ladies
and gents. Yes. I know what I'm trying to get rid of. I've been
catching myself. So I'm on my way to recovery.
So congratulations. Happy anniversary on your 26th The so
called paperclip anniversary. Yes, exactly. And what did you
receive from your lovely wife?
A giant barbeque pit? A hole in the ground? No, no, it's of it's
a stance on new Brownsville. I used to have a new Brownsville
in Albany and then it just decades of use just rotted and
fell apart a new Brownsville what it's called New any W
Browns fellas. The name of the brand is new Brownsville out of
Texas, Brownsville, Texas. Oh, yeah. And it's a side burner.
It's a bit smoker, a real Texas style. It's a Texas style
smoker. And
I'm looking at one right now. Okay. I know what it is.
Yeah. Nice. Nice. And it's nice, good product.
And do you get to take it back to California? I
got different barbecue down there.
So the idea is, so it's a hint, it's a subtle hint.
No, there's no one hint like come up here when smoking was
smoking more often? No, no, no, we've got to we got three
barbecues up here and I got about four down down south.
Really including the bullet to my favorite one which I don't
use as much as I should is the there's a wet smoker from break
used to be called the cook and Cajun and then Brinkmann bottom,
and it's a vertical bullet style. And you had to if anyone
was going to buy one of these send me some email first because
there's two kinds of dispose called Brinkman. One of them
does not work, which
I'm looking at him now. Which one does not the red one
probably doesn't
work that looks like the broken hands. There's but there's two
styles to square one and the round bullet one more square
one. Well, the square one. Oh, by the way, the square one.
Yeah. Doesn't work.
That's interesting. We had the we had barbecue Friday. Yeah,
yeah. At the county line which is pretty famous here in Austin
and Miss Macie ate a whole brisket I was
pretty surprised eat a whole brisket or Hans a meat
serving of brisket which even that is a lot but that's because
depending on how many pieces you cut off, he was big. It was like
Texas they get the right kind of brisket from the right kind of
cows low cook for Fort Lee new knives yet the right briskets to
make a good brisket get the cows
the ones that are really black and look really happy, though
they're roaming around here. You ever seen those?
Yes, yeah. They're roaming around the streets. I saw
really happy looking cows. And what did you get
a smile and cow What do you get from me? Bottle of two thirds.
I'm actually a Magnum of 2000 Croft, vintage port.
You drank it different bought it for yourself? No, no, she's
actually poor collection. We have port backed up. It's very
hard to drink a whole bottle of Port between even two people
make it give you a Sugar Buzz.
I didn't know she's a port collector. That's nice.
She Collect Support and champagne. Yeah, Miss
Mickey collect champagne too. And likes to take the cork off
it and drink it. There'll be knows there'll be no archiving
of the champagne. Well, very good. So and you went and you
took her out to dinner? Of course.
No, no. To cook dinner.
You didn't have a date night with with anyone else. There was
just the two of you. I'm trying to find out. It's
not it's just the two of us. I don't know why you're so nosy
about this, but it's just the two of us. And I cook there's no
place to go out in this party. Unless we're in Seattle. And
even then I'm saying
honey, I know what Screw it. Let's stay home and dream about
steampunk San Francisco. That's right. I know what you're doing
viewer. You're like, Hey, here's your bottle. Thanks for the
smoker. I gotta go watch some C span I gotta grab some clips.
That was the it was Friday. So I got to do the clips yesterday.
So no. Okay, but it would have been a she buys into that. So
it's good. Yes.
Why don't you go do some work?
So what did you do? Oh, well,
I'm glad you asked. I learned something new from the medical
world. Oh, uh huh. But have you ever heard of prolotherapy?
Pro? I might have heard of it.
prolotherapy or regenerative regenerative TR regenerative
injection therapy was originally used by Hippocrates over 2500
years ago to heal a javelin thrower shoulder pain. You have
a shoulder pain no Mickey has had various ever since Tokyo she
had this horrible lower back pain got all twisted sitting on
the plane and that really hadn't gone away. This is the second
time she's been to this doctor and Austin
was one another witch doctor.
This is a high tech doctor. They've got a huge setup where
they're
so the witch doctor do is no good on this deal.
The witch doctor helped with with some cupping procedures and
but this is really a mean procedure. Yeah. Are you not
familiar with the
What is with this guy?
I like him. That's that's the what's the I forget what it's
called now. The pushing down on your arm thing while you hold on
to the vial slipped my mind anyway, because I'm thinking of
this prolotherapy, which I found to be very interesting. Of
course, it's something that actually works, which means
Dept of creating irritation or injury to stimulate healing has
been recorded as early as Roman time. Yes, that's very high
needles were poked into the shoulders of injured gladiators.
Exactly.
So So nowadays, they have you know, they have an x ray system
that they can content continuously take pictures as
they're seeing where they're putting the needle in. And then
they're essentially putting sugar water and they're
dextrose. And you know that you and I talked to this guy for a
long time. It kind of pisses off whatever the area is. And then
the sugar water dextrose helps the self regenerative process
and it's I'd have to say it's it's kind of magical thing and
it's work it worked. Yeah. So she's good. Now she's good to
go. No pain to dead no pain at all. But of course, anything
that really works as you know is not covered by insurance.
Obviously. This is what all this was what surprises was
it ended up costing.
It's for us for one sessions, a couple $100 It's very expensive.
But you know, it's less expensive than anything that the
insurance is covering.
prolotherapy involves the injection of an irritant
solution into a joint space weakened ligament or tendon
insertion to relieve pain. Most commonly Hi bermel Hi. Hi. Hi
pero molar dextrose a sugar is solution is used glycerin lytic
cane commonly used local anesthetic that should kill the
pain.
Well lidocaine is lidocaine and that's what they're getting
Medicaid lidocaine before they planted before they put the
needle in.
And other commonly used agents the injection is administered at
joints or tendons where they connect to bone. Yeah,
exactly. It was no it was cool. I was allowed to watch it, you
know, so you get to a dosimeter and then a camouflage colored
like Flak Jacket against the radiation. And he's got that
kind of like, it looks it looks like you're in a room with two
dudes hanging out with Ted Nugent. And they kind of have
the face to go with it and tattoos and everything. They're
kind of rock and roll guys in this high tech environment with
these big GE specially designed X ray machines that just you
know, boom there's tons of screens and they're looking at
all these different angles and you know within 15 minutes as
you're good to go and of course the the fun part was because it
is an anxious experience obviously in the sticking
needles into you and it's in some law in some in some it's a
little bit like an epidural almost to they they gave her a
Xanax
before that mellower out
that's what she did. I'm hungry okay well how on brisket okay
you've walked on all brisket and fell asleep in the back of the
car before I got her home. You know, Mickey so you can imagine
that so contract and Mickey wolfing down a brisket and
fallen asleep on the back seat?
Yeah, that's very odd. Yeah. She gets better.
Yeah, that seems to work I wanted to mention, because, you
know, we have a lot of physicians and you have to do it
a couple of times, apparently. Yes. Yes. Yeah. You do. Applied
kinesiology was the witch doctor.
That was okay.
All right. More medical news. I have decided to start a club.
And it is because of a number of emails I have received. And
based upon the past two, well, well, actually the past couple
of years, but specifically the past two podcasts. I started the
no agenda Tourette's club. And the subtitle is documenting our
tics and superpowers.
That's a good idea. So how many people in the audience have
Tourette? Well,
this is why I started it because I I'm receiving more and more
email from people saying oh, man, I I always wondered what I
have. Now I know what it is.
Or find that peculiar.
Oh, you'd be amazed how many people don't really think of
Tourette's comes in all kinds of forms. Now we know the cool kind
which I'm not fortunate enough to have been blessed with the
fact that can't patient bomb you know, I don't have that one.
Which is, I think a superpower by itself because you can
actually make airplanes not take off.
Yeah, this is a lot of things. But when you think about
true superheroes, John, we have Clark Kent who is you know,
nerdy guy with the glasses. And then he turns into Superman.
What was Peter Parker? Was it like some stupid lab assistant?
Some schmuck. And he can only come Spider Man
or spider and we got bit by spider. Well, yeah, that's
different.
So you can find this at n a t c.no. Agenda? No agenda
notes.com and a tc.no agenda notes.com. And as of course I
have I'll just have three entries so far, but we're
getting a lot more so I have me as you know I've twitching of
neck shoulders thigh muscles. Mild grunting tightly squeezing
eyelids closed.
Mild grunting Oh, yeah. grunt Yeah. Just out of the blue.
Yeah, like that.
Yeah. Yeah. What do you think of a noise gate? My superpowers are
lightning fast response to falling items, snatching tipped
glasses in midair and photographic memory for numbers,
addresses and time codes. Then we have Cameron, who's in
Austin. And he's one of these. He said, Oh my gosh, I am so
happy. I used to have a lot of different tics. He says I only
have really two now. But I'm sure that this is a Tourette's
related. He has hard quick blink disorder as he calls it and
something I have to go see he has restless eyeball, which I
think sounds cool. However, he has no documented superpowers
yet, so we're waiting to see if he finds any penny. She has the
electric energy and straining various body parts. twisting her
foot is a favorite while walking. You get a good one. You
act like something's wrong with your foot and you twist it super
hard and that's it. Sounds familiar. It doesn't sound like
you put your heel down you tap you stamp your heel on the on
the I'm doing it right now on the on the ground and you said
you scrunch it around her superpowers photographic memory
memory of dance routines. Exactly.
eidetic memory is that real photographic is the word you
ever do. You can't forget anything. That's what she says.
And then she, okay, I got well here. I'm going to stop you now.
Because these people that have this type of memory, which of
course is some sort of a disorder, but it's, well seems
very valuable to me. Yes. And of course, the the one actress is
the one they based, there's a TV series on about a detective who
has photographic memory. And, you know, eidetic memory. In
other words, she can't forget anything. And that's based on on
a real actress, the one that I can't remember her name, Meryl
Streep. She's very famous actress and she has this power.
And she remember she can you can ask her a question. So on June
3, at eight in the morning, what were you doing? I was making
coffee. I mean, everything was crazy. All right. So it seems to
me, if somebody has this, this capability, I would like them to
index the show.
Well, she says she has robots. She calls it robot power.
I don't know what that means. But I, here's what I'm thinking,
well, we got somebody with eidetic memory, and they
listened to the show. And then we say, and this is the show
number, we tell him the show number. And here's the show and
you listen to the three hour show. And then like two years
later, you go, what show was where we talked about that we'll
be able to retrieve that instantly.
I'm going to give her our direct numbers, so that she can, she'll
be listening live and will say, do you remember actually she
would say Marilu Henner? Is what she would say
that that's who it is. Marilu Henner has his memory. She's
very funny when she talks about it because they did a couple of
specials. I
didn't know that about her. I've always liked her. But I had no
idea she had she had this superpower.
Yes. And she's very humorous. She has a good sense of humor.
But she says great when you're an actress, cuz you can really
get the script fast. You just read it once. Boom, you're done.
Right? But she
I wonder if she's actually reading if it's just
snapshotting
No, everything she everything that happens to her is
remembered. Oh, that's a gift sheet. Well, she says it's a
little annoying to people in relationships. Because she
well, I'm already like that, and I don't even have that good of a
memory. Yes, I did say that. Uh huh. It couldn't be a form
of Tourette's, not I think about it because she's a neat freak.
And Tourette's people tend to be neat freaks if
you Virgo Virgo is also are highly susceptible to
Tourette's, it appears.
I don't know whether she can look her up. But whatever the
case is, she's very funny because they did a special on
this syndrome. And most of the people that if they had about 10
people, or maybe five people that were that had this
capability. And most of them were very neurotic because of
this, right? Mary Lou Johanna was not she was like cool with
it. And that's good. And she she was very funny, but she said it
was it was difficult to always be right. Especially with the
kids.
Yeah, I know. It's a curse when you're always right. I feel your
pain, Mary Lou.
Anyway, so she, but if we have somebody like that they should
be able to listen to the show, if they're paying attention. And
then we cover this because we'll commonly go oh, you know, yeah,
yeah. Yeah, it was it was a prediction you made look it up
in the Red Book. Look it up in the Red Book. Find it in the
red. No,
typically, I remember. And you say no, it was that. So but I'll
say moon base is you'll say no Israeli Israeli bases. And
they'll say no, I never said Israeli Moon bases. No. Okay.
And then and then you know, you'll get this is exactly what
you do. And then you you're hunting around for days
listening to shows and you can't find it. And then you know,
you're angry.
I'm never angry. Okay.
Anyway, she calls this robot power. And she the way she
retrieves information is by saying, let me ask the robot. So
I think I agree with you. I think she's very handy. She also
says it's like having a tape recorder in your ear. She also
has easy replay of melody. And it was very easy for her to
learn where to put her fingers on a violin or any fretless
in this was also in the special there's a number of eidetic
musicians who can hear something once and then reproduce it
perfectly.
So what this proves is that you are not a Tourette Syndrome
sufferer. You are a superhero and you are interesting. And
your child who has this is interesting, and you need to
find the superpowers because you have them. I'm only now really,
really low Around the eighth grade wearing a cape. Well, I
think we should have no agenda superhero. Tourette's capes and
sashes. Well, let's see if we can grow the club
Tourette's cape. I have Tourette's? No,
you're stammering that's it. Well, in fact, you have a
version of it. You are stammer. I stammer. Yeah. So that's meant
makes you interested in knowing by the way, it makes you
interesting. It's not annoying at all. No,
I don't I it's not interesting to me.
I have never well, I've never found it to be annoying. You
know, it's unusual. It's annoying.
I won't I won't. Hold hold on, guys. Come on. There's just
see you can with Tourette's, you can even become president.
Yeah, you got something wrong with him proof? There's proof.
As we literally got no, I teased a couple of things in the
newsletter because we had we might as well get with it.
Well, let me just say right off the bat that as we speak, the
elections in Turkey are taking place. This is an interesting
one. Since we had the feeling that Turkey is on deck for some,
perhaps regime change. We know there's been a lot of a lot of
strife internally with the Gulenist police force and other
officials who have been arrested and kicked out and there's just
a lot of crap going on in Turkey. It being one of the most
important strategic countries in between the Middle East, the
Asia and Europe. All pipelines lead through the Ottoman Empire
if you will. And and you know, the Mr. Edwin has not been a
favorite of anybody of late really. He's kind of a a fair
weather friend to all, you know, oh, take some military equipment
from China or hang out with Russia. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, I
want the gas from Syria bad. Maybe I'll take it from from
Georgia, from Qatar or whatever. So we'll see. I do believe you
will win. Yeah, well, most people think so. Does Mali make
sense? But I I still think he may be a marked man.
I'm the put it in the red book that I think assassination is
coming his way.
And at the same time, we have some form of agreement that
watermelon had carry rushed off to Afghanistan, as it turned out
that Baghdadi Baghdadi so nice. They named him twice, of course,
was really winning the election. But that is not the guy that we
want to win, which is can have that Ashraf Ghani. And so
somehow we changed the rules will look no matter who wins
after we count every single vote again. And we're going to
quantify qualify, you know, hanging chads, whatever it's
going to be. And then whoever's The winner is almost like the
second loser. So if you're going to have equal powers, you'll be
president, you'll be Prime Minister, and we can get along,
can't we? Which is if you look, of course, at the background of
Ashraf Ghani, this is a complete Pentagon stay educated. And a
lot of that is going on in, in this Iraqi in the caliphate, I
guess we would we would have to call it at this point. Because
that's, that is the working name for what is happening in Iraq.
But it really isn't, of course. And it looks like you have a
well, you set it up in the in the newsletter. And I have a
number of clips and some analysis
of some analysis of why they're bombing this specific place. But
I do have the airstrikes rundown, which will lead into
that and then you can go off on your analysis for us and reveal
stuff that you don't get on the mainstream media. Well, I
spent most of yesterday, really trying to come up with the
proper analysis as of what's happening and when you when you
once you see it and you figure it out. It's really quite easy
to understand, actually.
And good morning, I'm Dan Harris. We're interrupting
briefly with news of an American airstrike in Iraq, the Obama
administration taking military action in a war the president
claimed to have ended several years ago just a short while
ago, the US military announcing it as carried out in airstrikes
and knockout artillery being used by Islamist militants and
ABCs. Martha Raddatz broke the news of this mission. And she
joins us now from Washington with the latest. Martha What do
you know,
Dan? The president of course, as you know, authorized airstrikes
last night they've already carried out humanitarian
missions with air drops. But this airstrike just came a short
while ago, aimed at an artillery piece of mobile artillery piece
near Erbil, or Beale is under great threat. That is why the
President chose to act Central Command carried it out with two
FA 18 fighter jets dropping 500 pound bombs on the artillery.
They believed that Americans were threatened because there
are Americans in Erbil, and they do not want those ISIS troops
moving on Erbil. I think you're going to see this as an ongoing
mission in the coming days that if those ISIS convoys move, as
the President said last night, they will also try to strike
those convoys, but very difficult targeting this, those
ISIS fighters, those terrorists in Iraq, throughout Iraq, blend
in with his civilian population. So I think if they see targets
of opportunity like they did this morning, they'll take them.
So we've
got two things going on. We've got the ISIS fighters moving
closer to aerobill, which is a city where there are a lot of
Americans. And then we have this humanitarian crisis with the
Christian community on top of a mountain surrounded by fighters.
How worried is the Obama administration right now about
being sucked back into this war that they claimed to have ended
back in 2011.
While you heard the President say last night, Dan, that we
will not be sucked back into a larger war that there is no
military solution. But being willing to even carry out these
smaller airstrikes, really does put the US back in a combat
role.
Yeah, yes. It was very nice to see the Pentagon released two
YouTube videos, as you know, once it's on YouTube, it's
pretty much the truth. Two YouTube videos have some dots on
the ground. And they're typically Why is it always black
and white? grainy? We can we up the quality a little bit?
I think so. Yeah, they could up to quality. There's no reason
for it to be that crappy.
Yeah. So you see, to
brown thing, mostly Tillery?
Yes. And then boom, you see a big white flash, and it's gone.
And then which
is also another thing that can be changed. There's no reason
for it to blow out the sensor.
Yeah, really? Thank you. That's really true. That's true. I
agree. And then then we have the night vision goggles, the green
version of throwing stuff out of a transport plane, none of which
proves anything. Yeah, this is why I say, you know, I'm
stomping on the tail that wags the dog. This could be all
complete theater, because now we have the there's some good
marketing, I'm going to get to what is really going on here.
But what is being sold to the world at large and certainly to
the American public at a wonderful time. By the way, when
everyone's off on vacation, the president's going on vacation,
you know, we got to get some going. We've got to keep
everybody busy. You know, don't look at all the other stuff.
That's annoying. There's a lot of annoying stuff happening with
the CIA spying on the Senate. And, you know, and we, of
course, we got still got our drone program, but I'm gonna
focus people on something. Well,
you know, I want to measure something in advance of any of
these analysis is that Erbil is just one dynamite place.
Well, yes. Our bill is, it is pretty much the center of oil
production for Iraq,
and it's in Kurdistan. So it's Kurdish it is, and it's a city
that goes back 6000 years, and it's been continually inhabit
it's one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities
ever. Yep. And it has a it's just gorgeous. Well, not like a
dynamite place. Look at photos of the place a beautiful
hotels, because and this is another reason why this all had
to happen. Now, we do have the big Erbil oil and gas convention
coming up September one through four.
That the convention center, that's
what you see on television, and this is, this is mind boggling
to me. I'm seeing what are supposed to be yatse I just call
him yawns. He's I don't know what the with the Yazidis, the
Nazis there. Some people run dresses running along the dirt
road. Okay, so they're getting killed and their heads have been
killing the children chopping their heads off, none of which
we've actually seen at all. And we're going to throw some, some
breaks, have meals ready to eat on their heads to save them. So
there's a humanitarian admission objects, obviously. And everyone
talks about well, we have US personnel and civilians. Yeah,
we have an embassy in Erbil. And we have Exxon Mobil, Chevron,
the one of the two main refineries is in Erbil. And
really, ISIS is not doing anything. This is the carving of
the border. This is setting the stakes. This is helping
everybody understand what the three main parts are going to
be.
And I should mention just in passing, that just looking up
now, the Erbil, Iraq Convention Center, and there it is, the new
ended with the title, the new state of the art convention
center isn't available yet. You're not going
to see that you're not seeing until you see dirty roads and
people with no shoes running in the dirt and the sand then, and
I love the news, the video of ISIS and if you really
objectively look at it, and there's one that keeps playing
Oh, over and over again, is taken from the back of a pickup
truck. And you see two ISIS militants run, they jump in the
back and they immediately assume the position. One guy left one
guy right with his AK. And then the next two guys come in is
essentially sorry for saying essentially, it is an upgraded
version of the Monkey Bar Video of al Qaeda. This is in the
drive and Kias and they've got logos they have a gift shop,
John IOSYS has a gift shop.
Yeah, you can swing by some flags. Yeah.
You can buy flags, hoodies, hoodies, mugs. This is a and of
course these guys come from originally Syria, from Libya.
These are the people that we
armed apparently Procter and Gamble, Procter and Gamble, do I
mean marketing? Oh,
no. There's huge PR firms on K Street. There's lobbyists for
these guys. So this is big, big business. And we have to go back
a little further than the 2011 that everybody's talking about
this is this goes back to the original plan of 2003. That
original plan was to break up Iraq into three parts to have
the Sunnis the Shias. So it'd be the Sunnis in the, in the
Baghdad area of the she hasn't the Baghdad area, the Sunnis in
the in the West. So that's Syria. And of course, Kurdistan
is what do we really care about? Those are our American
interests. But that is where the oil is flowing. And the
refineries are it goes out through the port of se han. And
it's going down to Israel to be sold. And it's also going up
north and out to even as far as China to Texas. And originally,
this was the pipeline. That was good dates back to the Second
World War, that is no longer usable, that would go directly
through Jordan into Israel. This is now the pipeline that goes to
the port of se han in in Turkey, in 2006. And this is something
we've paid a clip of, I think we played a clip of Biden saying it
but I found an old NPR interview in 2006. This was tried again,
with a it's called the Biden doctrine. And this is why Joe
Biden is kind of key in this one, and he's kind of stepping
up and he's talking to people he's making calls and, you know,
the Senate them out on the road to meet people. It was a non
binding resolution. And this was he wrote a an article in The New
York Times with the guy from the Council on Foreign Relations.
It'll come to galp, Leslie galp. And they and they wound up with
a non binding or non binding non binding resolution that was
introduced in the Senate. And it went through very quickly in
2007, introduced by Biden and Sam Brownback, senator from
Kansas. And that was, at the time, a major calling for a
decentralized Iraqi government based on the principles of
federalism, advocating for a relatively weak central
government with strong Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish regional
administrations. And this one, this went through 75 to 23, who
was voting for Hillary, it was all Ford, Chris Dodd was all for
it, because this is, this is the oil Cabal. This is really what
it's about. And it's about the control of the oil of that
region. What comes through Iraq going to Syria, what comes from
the south up from any of the oil or gas countries up north into
Turkey, it really is all about the control. Here is Joe Biden
somewhat coherent, but he still manages to mix up Sunnis and
Shias in his interview, which is just fabulous as the NPR guy is,
I think he's reading the script and going, Oh, crap, man, Joe
messed it up. Let me correct him, where he explains this
concept, and you will hear it is exactly the same. Not just
concept, but in some cases, same words, as President Obama used
in his speech in front of his helicopter,
I call for a strong central government. And the Iraqi
constitution already calls for a federation. Again, this is 2006,
that there'll be a semi autonomous region in the north
with the Kurds. And in that the Shia have a similar option. My
call is to give the Sunnis the opportunity to buy into a
federated Iraq by providing them the resources from oil revenues,
a percentage of them in order to be able to do what we did in
Dayton, in the Balkans. Remember, we set apart those
three separate regions.
Do you hear what he's saying? Yeah, yeah. Just so everybody
knows, that wasn't again, and also presented to the world as a
huge religious problem in the Balkans. But now it was really
kind of about resources and borders and cutting it up and
creating verbalizing to an extent but vulcanizing breaking
things up. That is what balkanize a vulcanized He
is in order for them to have breathing room to come together.
Oh, that worked out great job, but what incentive with a
powerful south and a powerful North who are basically
independent from the central government? Do the Shia have to
sign on to this notion and give up the insurgency, this is a way
to end the insurgency. And that might point out to the Sunni
staff. Yes, that shouldn't be the
Sunnis to the great Joe
Biden might point out, there is no plan that exists now for
disbanding of the militias. So you have these massive militias
in the shear area, and significant militias in the
north. So what guarantee to the Sunnis have that it's in their
interest to, in fact, sign on, even though they may get a
couple ministers?
Okay, so again, it's about the government. And if you follow
the news, and you listen very carefully to what is being said,
this is about al Maliki, who is the prime minister, there were
elections. And he has said, Look, I'm still Prime Minister,
everyone voted for me, I'm not stepping down. I'm not letting
people come in and just changed the structure. And we have
miraculously a new president has is on the scene. There's a new
speaker, and this is all being forced, but Maliki is refusing
to leave. And this is partially about Kim. Now, I believe if he
were to step down and say, Okay, let's let's do this fairly. He's
dead. If they'll kill him immediately. We'll have some
unfortunate hot tub backs in it. Well, I
think this is in the cards for him no matter what. But yes, I
would agree. So let's now listen very closely to what President
Obama was saying, Actually, did you see democracy now? Did you
hear Amy Goodman, about the president? No, no, you know how
we often talk about your mouth, your your brain cannot help but
tell the truth. Yeah. And the words will come out. I
had a clip of something her doing that. No, I haven't
Albright telling the truth. That's different.
AMY GOODMAN telling the truth.
Well, then I was wondering your response fellas to President
Obama and President Obama. And now I'm sorry, President Obama.
That's good.
President Obama. Yes. Very good. Amy. Very good. I'm going to
play the setup, which is the cover story. It's only about a
minute and a half. And the cover story is all we had humanitarian
boy, you know, they've got these people cutting children's heads
off, Waylon and let me play Yes, CNN, the Marquis, the marketing
the President is responding to this
is truly a living nightmare. That's not going away.
Christianity, and most of it is dead. And the Christian
Holocaust is
in our myths. So we have Christian Holocaust, which I
love this. There's nothing better than mixing the
metaphors.
Seven weeks ago, we
went to Washington, DC, and we actually were calling this
Christian genocide, Christian genocide. Since then, day by day
is getting worse and worse, more children are being beheaded.
Mothers are being raped and killed. Yes, fathers are being
hung up. This is an outrage. You can't be beheading children, I
think you need to send in some, some Hornets, show some video on
YouTube. As the President's about to go on vacation,
President Obama Ng and he's in front of his helicopter, which
is there's a lot of I found that to be a very interesting choice.
His stand up speech in front of the helicopter. It has a war
feeling to it, but it also has a feeling of Damn man. He's got
some nice wheels in the garden. And also, he's going on
vacation. And he came up with a cover story for the press,
completely scripted. As always, that's how these things work.
We continue to pursue a broader strategy in Iraq. We will
protect our American citizens in Iraq, whether they're diplomats,
civilians or workers for Exxon or military. If these terrorists
threaten our facilities, or our personnel
facilities is office buildings of Exxon refineries. And yes,
the embassy we will take action to protect our people, which
they could do by they could evacuate everybody. If it was
really bad, they could just rush everybody out. So there's other
reasons for this. Obviously,
we will continue to provide military assistance and advice
to the Iraqi government and Kurdish forces as they battle
these terrorists, so that the terrorists cannot establish a
permanent safe haven. We will continue to work with the
international community to deal with the growing humanitarian
crisis in Iraq. Even as our attention is focused on
preventing an act of genocide and helping the men and women
and children on the mountain. Countless Iraqis have been
driven or fled from their homes, including many Christians. This
morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Cameron the United
Kingdom Madam President law of France now
notice which two countries, the two countries that have always
since the since this country was created, since the drawing of
the lines on the map, there was the French and the British and
the Americans. And it is total oil and total fina, and it is
British Petroleum, and Exxon, Exxon Mobil, these are the
countries. That's why no one else is involved. It's only the
people who have actual interest in this region.
I'm pleased that both leaders expressed their strong support
for our actions, and have agreed to join us in providing
humanitarian assistance to Iraqi civilians who are suffering so
much Does this sound familiar of this providing assistance saving
the Iraqis this is going on for a while,
once again, America is proud to act alongside our closest
friends and allies? Oh, yes, hold
on, we need to bring out the Team America.
More broadly, the United Nations in Iraq is working urgently to
help respond to the needs of those Iraqis fleeing from areas
under threat. The UN Security Council is called on the
international community to do everything it can to provide
food, water and shelter, and in my calls with allies and
partners around the world, continue to urge them to join us
in this humanitarian effort. Finally, we continue to call on
Iraqis to come together and form the inclusive GM, inclusive
government that Iraq needs right now. Vice President Biden has
been speaking to Iraqi leaders and our team in Baghdad is in
close touch with the Iraqi government.
Okay, so now you have all the pieces in front of you, you have
the partitioning of the three pieces of Iraq, Shiite, Sunni
and Kurdish regions for the for the benefit of everybody, of
course, with the central government, which will be
completely useless, which will more than likely lead to a very
bloody civil war. But we are now protecting the Kurdish region.
And notice when we're protecting the Kurdish region, not
protecting any other part protecting that where our
interests are, well, that's always been what we're going to
do but that is not being explained to people. I
think it's important that as no reasons if people don't
understand it, and
our people do. That will take it away
one of the oil companies that's kind of left out of the
conversation, it was actually huge in Kurdistan is DNO which
is Norwegian.
Oh, sure. They'll have an army today.
I'm that's the reason they're like being left that
conversation.
So here is right after this intro. Now the President is
going to tell you what is really important. And he actually uses
the words, what is this is most important. So it's not about
these people on the mountaintop that you're seeing kind of
somehow I think of now we have helicopter shots of people
running towards the HELOC. It could have been Vietnam for all
I care. This is no proof of anything happening. But it's the
story. And here's the real, the real important timetable that
the most important timetable that I'm focused on right now is
is not saving people, Iraqi government getting formed and
finalized. Uh huh. Because in the absence of an Iraqi
government, it is very hard to get a unified effort by Iraqis
against I'm
talking about, well, here government's already been
formed. years ago,
well, listen, listen to what he's about, well, this is regime
change. And we have to get rid of Maliki. Here's what he says
we can conduct
airstrikes, but ultimately, there's not going to be an
American military solution to this problem, there's going to
have to be an Iraqi solution that America and other countries
and allies support. And that can't happen effectively until
you have a legitimate Iraqi government. So right now we have
a president, we have a speaker. What we don't yet have is a
prime minister and a cabinet that is formed, that can go
ahead and move forward and then start reaching out to all these
various world crabs inside of Iraq. What
I expect is the press to go I'm sorry, the Prime Minister is
Maliki. Now, our President just said we don't have a prime
minister in Iraq, you do have a prime minister in Iraq.
The guy who won't leave is not going along with the program.
You
don't like the guy who is the prime minister done. So now we
have this. What has happened now is with this change, and this
was a July 1, I believe, when the new government came in and
rocky won a lot of votes. But some people left some people
went out. So we had the foreign minister of of the Iraqi
coalition government, Hoshyar Zebari key although CNN still
credited as the Iraqi foreign minister, he is now a Kurdish
spokesman. And this guy is this is a card Man, this guy is
great. I think he was educated. I'm gonna see what I have here,
University of Essex, and these guys are all from the 2003 2006
efforts to make this happen and listen to listen to how he
speaks. Here we go. This is when CNM see it up yet last night
titled him as foreign minister of Iraq, which he is not. We are
most grateful now to express our gratitude and deep, deep
appreciation for President Obama and the US administration and
for the courageous US Army and airmen who are now patrolling
the skies of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Yes.
Thank you very much for so courageous to the guy they want
in and this is going to blow your mind is Ahmed Chalabi and
our lobby. Yes, I think enough. Yes. I knew it would blow your
mind. Yes. This is the guy who set it really set up Iraq. In he
they call him the George Washington of Iraq.
He is the guy oh crap artists. Yes.
He's them. He is the man on the inside that pushed us into Iraq.
Yeah, he's a troublemaker so they that he's full of crap.
Yes.
This is the guy that they want to be the the Prime Minister.
He's and no one's calling this of course. Oh, this guy. That
seems like a good guy to me. He has quite the resume.
Yeah. So screwing us.
Quick intermezzo interlude where and I think you are right John
Bandcamp girl with her flute Marie Harf is definitely on the
warpath to push Jen Psaki out. And she is now appearing
everywhere What she needs is a stylist. She needs a bit some
clothing advice.
And some other kind of glasses. This looks like early hipster
look is not working.
She goes on to MSNBC than to talk about the war with ISIS.
And I feel that as a spokesperson, and I left the
introduction in so you can hear her credentials, which we kind
of knew about but she's actually snickering and laughing about
how awesome she is. And listen to the party line, how she just
robotically spouts everything out. She is she's at the top,
she's talking to the big men. She's She right now. She's the
main girl on campus. I don't know what's going on. But she's
feeling pretty confident,
very harsh as the State Department's deputy spokesperson
and a former CIA CIA analyst on the Middle East. She also served
on President Obama's re election campaign. Thank you for joining.
She's smiling. That was her making that noise because
I served on the election team and was a CIA analyst for the
Middle East.
What I know is a busy day for
you. Thank you for having me. Are you happy to be here?
Ari. I'm happy to be here. Well, the first question out of the
gate is a good one.
Great. Let me start directly is the US now at war with ISIS?
Well, look, we've been clear for months now.
Throw, look, we've been clear for months. Well, look right
there. It's like, okay, Marie, thank you
that ISIS is an incredibly
dangerous enemy, not just for Iraq, not just for the for the
region at large, but for the United States and the rest of
the world. So the President made very clear last night that they
present a threat. We don't want them to be able to advance
closer to Erbil. Because as you said, we have a very large
conflict there. We have a joint operation center there where
we're sharing intelligence with the Iraqis themselves. So we
took some strikes today, as you mentioned, to hope their advance
and to give the Kurds really some room for this really good
fighting force. They have the Peshmerga to regroup to rearm,
and we're helping them do that and to take the fight
aggressively to ISIL. Because we know that's the long term
solution here.
The long term solution is to take the fight aggressively to
ISIL who are being led by Al Baghdadi, the mythical figure
who looks the part completely who is being profiled by Vice
magazine in a five part series on ISIS ISIL vice vice, okay,
vice, and they're in there and they're showing all the
interviewing kids Oh, yes, I want to join Al Baghdadi, to
join the khalifa to do honor the Kleef to join the caliphate. How
come no one else can get any kind of footage but vice
you know I've been watching the vice videos for a while I died
when they first started coming out. And I not going to be
accusatory I
am I am it's Tom Freston who started MTV, who before at MTV
ran an import export business in F and Afghanistan. Hello. Who's
a nice guy by the way. I like Tom Freston, but he's a player.
He's a player. And then all this money from Viacom came in. This
is a hugely funded operation. People love working for Vice the
money's flowing to the camp be making Any money they're
spending?
Yeah, well, that's always fun to me, that you I've watched these
these things, and it just seems to me that these things are not
only scripted, but many of the things I think are just
completely bullshit. They I don't think they are where
they're supposed to be. No, I wonder about most of the guy's
nervous. And some of these reporters that are out in the
field, the way they make it seem as though they're gonna get
killed any second.
Did you see the fire? Sign it? No, no. Did you see the five
part series on ISIS? No, no. And this is where they had all of it
is scripted, the guys jumping into the truck. And this and
they propagate these videos out in their YouTube videos, and it
makes its way into into mainstream media. They also have
this tank that's doing wheelies in the middle of the street.
flees. I mean, who? Who does wheelies with their tank? I
mean, they
don't I don't know. Whatever the case has been in the doughnuts.
It's been in doughnuts. Okay. To you have to be what kind of
lucky videographer do you have to be to catch some of this
stuff? They catch stuff that that there's no no one gets? No
one could be that lucky?
Well, I'm going to be accusatory because I know who's running
these outfits. And they're high up there. And you know, they're
the guys that enter North Korea. No one has anything to do these
guys always do. Fine. Okay. It makes it look good. And I love
what they're doing. I love the, the the weaponry. And of course,
they ISIS, you know, captured all of this, this these weapons
that were American made. This is bullcrap. These guys were armed
by us, in, in Syria, in Libya. And now it's the guys, it's the
same guys. Only now we've made them into this huge terror
organization. They are ruthless. And they chop people's heads off
no evidence of that. We held his head children's heads no less,
and they rape women, and they hang them in. And what the Vice
documentary has, is you have a heads on, on steaks on a gate.
And yeah, I'm sure there's videos of people being shot in
the back of the head. That's all over the place. But this is a
story. And it's being really carefully built up. And we are
in the We the Atlanticist are in complete control of the
situation. And we are building a beautiful wall around Kurdistan.
We are named I believe we're trying to draw Iran into the
south to have them come in and help Baghdad that would be
perfect if we could get that to happen, wouldn't it? Yeah, let's
have it. Let's get a little more Iran Iraq war going on. And then
everything to the West. We don't care. But in fact, here's Howard
Dean, who gets to know Howard Dean was a presidential
candidate, but he also he he's a big guy in the in the Democratic
committee, the party. He's a he's a big He's a big man in the
in the on the left, would you agree that makes
Howard Dean was a shoo in to be the president in 2008, and I
mean, he was going to he was the leader before any before Hillary
or anybody came in and they
killed him with the scream.
The screen? Well, he was killing himself because I saw him he was
because he was being orchestrated as a as a social
event. He was a so the first social media guy.
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, I forgotten about it. Yes. They had set him
up and the social media killed him. Well, no, he
No. The social media never killed him in my I watched his
very carefully and I believe the following. He was a goofball.
And the first time I saw him, he was on the I think it was the
Letterman wasn't Letterman. It was either Letterman or Leno at
the time. And he comes on the show, and I swear to God with
because he's never been on national TV before and no one's
ever seen him because he was he became he's on the cover of Time
magazine was but we never saw him in person. He first shows up
and I swear to God, he's wearing a tie a big red striped tie that
is down to his knees.
Like like a like Bozo the Clown. Exactly.
He has this huge long tie. That's really way too long. He's
tied it wrong. And he comes out with the stupid he was really
and then he gets serious and he he joke around and you just said
this guy's a goofball. He's no good. And so and so his numbers
started to drop and then when he won that primary and did the
scream, that was it. He was done.
But the way it was sold the way he was, I guess pushed out
because he was a goofball or whatever else happened was all
blamed on this moment. I've looked it up on the YouTubes
somewhere in it your
dean for America. Come on up here. All right. So everyone's
loving him. I think this is boring. Well, he comes up, Gary
grabs the mic. He's got the mic. Here it is. You guys,
you have already got the picture here. I was about to say, you
know, I'm sure there's some disappointed people here. You
know what?
You know something, you know something? If you had told us
one year ago that we're gonna come in third in Iowa, we would
have given anything for that. And you know, something, you
know, something, not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom
Harkin, we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and
Arizona, and North Dakota and New Mexico. We're going to
California and Texas and New York. We're going to South
Dakota and Oregon and Washington, and Michigan.
In hindsight is not that bad at all?
Well, it's pretty bad with that yet. But he was already on the
decline at that point. And that was the nail in the coffin.
So here he is being asked, and he's being brought in now, of
course, because he is a part of the Atlanticist Cabal. And I
think he does a very good explanation and really just
nails everybody to the ground in this three have been this three
partition strategy, the the Biden doctrine, I
think a lot of progressives are very suspicious, because this is
Iraq, because we've the American people have been lied to before
about Iraq. People who've tried to imagine the Iraqis he's he's
not all the way you know, though, as he would say, Iraq,
which is proper, if you're on the inside, this is Rwanda or
Bosnia. And I think a lot of things change in that way. And I
would agree with a lot of my positions fairly similar to
Chris Murphy's with this exception, unlike the Taliban
and the situation in Afghanistan, where you have a
pretty corrupt president and a pretty difficult situation. The
Kurds are a real country. And our policy in Iraq is not
interesting, isn't it? It's a country. It's done fairly
sensible. We're trying to keep the country together. 1/3 of it
are our friends, which are the Kurds. Another third are
essentially corrupt dictator. That's Maliki who was allied
with Iran.
We just recently realized we need to get out of there now now
for the final one another one of my favorite mixed metaphors.
What could the West be? I think are those guys any worth
anything to us, John?
Let's find out.
And the third section is divided between people who are pretty
much like the Nazis, absolute terrorists and
almost subhuman Hold on a second. You just you frying my
brain Dean. It was the Nazis who called the Jews subhuman. Yet
he's calling the Nazis subhuman.
Yeah, that's a mixed metaphor, a good one and Sunni sewer and
Sunnis who have legitimate grief grievances against real against
wherever Maliki Yeah, so this is a different situation we are, we
are supporting a what I think is a country which is Kurdistan.
And he thinks is a country dangerous goes around. It's a
you know, I'm calling this a country. And Biden's go on
Africa as a nation, we got some great people in DC. And I think
that's reasonable. We do not, under any circumstances, want to
have boots on the ground. But we're fighting with somebody who
can defend themselves as opposed to what's happening in
Afghanistan or what was happening in Vietnam. So I do
support the president. But I think he needs to look at the
whole long term Iraq policy, not just this short
war as most people would say, he needs to go in and go in big and
there will be no boots on the ground. This will be a complete
division where I believe we're trying to draw Iran and to the
south, that everything on the in the West is to be exterminated,
and preferably by the by the Baghdad crew. And by the way,
let's see if we can reignite in Iraq Iran war essentially what
we have already deemed to be the strategy to realize the place
rather lies the place
and all we need to keep intact is Kurdistan. That in
fact, by the way, while people are listening to this, I think
they should take a look at the map. I erbil.com. I named that
town E or B il I erbil.com And you get a sense of the what's
really going on which is you know, you get some it's this is
essentially a travel site, but it's promoting cheap flights to
the place and and they have a lot of slideshow with a lot of
pictures showing Nice is and you have news like the first startup
weekend and herbal Monday August 5, you know,
mas global selects GE turbans for Erbil? Yeah, this site is
Trillium holding builds residential and commercial
complex and herbal this place is is more active and more hip than
Austin.
This devil to him but what they have a walled city within herbal
that you can get a picture that thing holy. I want to see it
beautiful we should go and $499 I can fly round trip. Yeah, from
Amsterdam. I'm looking at the family
Mall. They got answered them Dusseldorf, Stockholm and you
notice
you notice how you never see this when the narrative is being
given to you on the so called news. All you're seeing is
exploding black and white video. The ship being dropped out of
the back of a plane people run around barefoot saying Help me
Help me a couple of douchebags in perfect Oxford English saying
thank you for helping us. You're never seeing the beautiful
restaurants, the beautiful buildings, the modern
skyscrapers, the brand new conference center. You may not
You're not allowed to have thank God for the web. It's 37 degrees
centigrade. It's kind of warm there. But it's with his uh,
West South West Side. Wesley horribly hot. Yeah, well, yes.
This is why people are dying, as you know. So the president, he
in the scripted event and was kind of funny, because I don't
know if you saw the whole thing. He said, like, final question.
And he forgot that it wasn't the final question. And then some
girl asked some insignificant question. And then he, he
realizes that he still has his point to make for his legacy as
he's about to get on his helicopter and fly off to for
another vacation. And he got calls again for yes. Now it's
time for the last question. Last question.
Reza, do you have any second thoughts about pulling all
ground troops out of Iraq? And does it give you pause as a US
as possible is doing the same thing in
Afghanistan? Now, this has been touted by a lot of alternative
media as well, who don't understand how these things work
as Wow, man, Obama's pissed he's blaming the bullshit regime. Now
this is a complete, completely scripted. Okay, the last
question this guy was supposed to have the last question. He
was given the last question. There's no, we never heard of
this guy. You don't recognize the voice. He's not identified
as just some dude. Not named Ben, who's standing there with
the last question as scripted for the President to finalize
his legacy and spoiler, he's saying, Hey, first of all, this
was already set in motion. Second of all, you better be
happy because if we had people in there, it would be a much
bigger mess. So be happy that I'm kind of in control of the
situation. I'm going to get on my chopper now and go to
Martha's Vineyard.
You know, what, what I just find interesting is the degree to
which this this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my
decision. Under the previous administration, we had turned
over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi
government. So let's just be clear, the reason that we did
not have a follow on force in Iraq was because the Iraqis were
Iraqis. Do you have bases that went to the next line on the
teleprompter, somehow the word Iraqis got broken up? Yeah,
Iraq, he's
a majority of Iraqis did not want US troops there. And
politically, they could not pass the kind of laws that would be
required to protect our troops in Iraq. Having said all that,
your comms, if in fact, the Iraqi Government behaved the way
it did over the last five, six years, where it failed to pass
legislation that would reincorporate Sunnis and give
them a sense of ownership if it had targeted certain Sunni
leaders and jailed them if it had alienated some of the Sunni
tribes that we had brought back in during the so called
awakening that helped us turn the tide in 2006. And they've
done all those things and we had had troops there. The country
wouldn't be holding together either. The only difference
would be we'd have a bunch of troops on the ground and that
would be vulnerable. And however many troops we had, we would
have to now be reinforcing I'd have to be protecting them and
we'd have a much bigger job.
Alright, so there you go. So just so you know, shut up.
Everything's perfect. It wasn't my fault but I'm glad I did it.
And for those of you who are interested in the the in the in
what will evolve here Maleki will be out he's a dead man one
way or the other. If they bring in this this shill that would Be
quite surprising.
It wouldn't surprise me if Well, right now he is the head of the
he's currently the head and president of the Governing
Council of Iraq, Iraq, and is a shoo in.
So Chalabi and read up on him I have links.
No, he was he was right. He was succeeded by allowing. He's
sitting. I don't know what he's doing now. I'm sorry. That was a
mistake.
He's, I'm sure he's not without work.
No, he's doing something. Yeah. He's also a bank additionally,
and joy, close political and business relationships with
members of the US government, including some prominent Neo
cons was in the Pentagon. He's a neocon. He's part of the Kagan
group group.
Yes. Absolutely. The all of these guys are every single
person who's on the scene now goes back to 2006. If not,
certainly to 2003. This is the original strategy. And I think
we're going to finally do it because now people are the
American public, certainly, but I believe around the world, we
are tired. We're tired of the, the, the sickness that is being
bestowed upon us, which is just war images and saving people.
Meanwhile, who's saving us who's saving the citizens of the west
of the Gitmo nation? They were sending hundreds of billions of
dollars every everywhere else. And we your brains can't handle
at a certain point, whatever, just bomb the shit out of them.
I don't care. You know, they look Hey, oil prices are down.
That's good. I'm not paying too much.
Nobody has really chimed in. I mean, this whole this bombing of
these, these characters. And and by the way, there, it seems to
me that because I mean, Obama touched on it with that last
question. And he didn't say it specifically, this is what
because they wouldn't give us certain kinds of protections, or
certain kinds of security do we couldn't leave any troops there.
What he was referring to was the fact that we had asked for total
immunity to do anything. We ran mental actions. So any American
in the area who was a rapist or a robber, bank robber doesn't
make any difference? They were immune to Iranian law.
Yes, that's what we need when you're going in and you're being
extractive you need this kind of protection.
They said, No, this is bullcrap. You guys are killing our people.
The Blackwater guys are good example. It's It's nasty. We
don't like it. And we're not going to agree to that. I do
think it was. And so then I think then that's why they I
think that's why the ISIS was established.
Yes. Well, ISIS already was established, it was just called
the Free Syrian Army or the Libyan rebels. It's, it's the
same guys Baghdadi was established. And I don't
understand why we don't use the because it's a good name. And I
think for that very reason, why is he not synonymous with Osama
bin Laden? Al Baghdadi is a great name. You know, he's got a
cape. He's got a beard. He's got like the cape. The cape is
great. And a great name Al Baghdadi. Everyone can remember
Al Baghdadi.
Yeah, he's from Baghdad. Yeah. The other guy was Al Baghdadi,
the guy that killed me. This guy named himself to say, we've only
seen there was a continuity. There was like a Superman too.
But I think the the nice touch to all of this was having Pope
Francis, send a cardinal to Iraq, I thought that was a nice
touch. That really brought it home. You know, it's like, Oh,
yes. Well, we're now we're killing Christians. And there's
a holocaust of the Christians. Very, very nice touch very well
executed. Very well done. Good. But good night, Iraq. Good
night. Good night. Good night, your rubble now. Anything can
happen. You will not hear of any you'll hear a strike here,
strike there. They'll do whatever they need. And I'm
sorry, my lucky. Sorry for you. That's the brakes. Man. You
play. You play hard and rough. And sometimes it doesn't work
out. So he's, he's dead. He may even be dead. Who knows.
And that is that he has a lot of bodyguards. And
yeah, I heard he was running around in the military fatigues.
And he was really, really going all out. So this is a lot of
marketing. It's good work, do not fall for any of it. And they
finally get they, the Neo cons, the the globalist people who
believe there is an order in the world and, and America and
Britain and France, and you know, they're supposed to be
running it. They're getting what they want. This is exactly what
they wanted. And for some reason. I think it's just
fatigue. Really. That's what it seems to be because no one
everyone's gone, right? The Congress has gone everyone's on
vacation, vacation, what's tired? Fine, who cares? Let them
go. And they're going to get in bed and everyone at this point
is buying shares and given all the companies and everyone's in
on it, except us. Right? And that's okay. And that's really
it. So a real great play. Just to go, don't be fooled. It's a
beautiful, beautiful city. It's modern. It is. It's like Houston
is the Houston of Iraq.
I don't think it's as grimy as Houston. It's probably pretty
I know it's probably prettier,
looks a lot prettier, especially that old walled city looks like
dynamite place to visit. And I
got some real, some real history for sure. Now, we could have
known this was happening because Kerry was in. He was in
Kurdistan in Erbil. Like two weeks ago, we should we could
have seen this happening, but it's so hard to keep track of
that guy. That maybe when more more than just one of him all
over the place.
It's hard to keep track of his tongue going in and out like a
snake and
no kidding. So that's it, people can. That's what you'll be
hearing. And of course, the the other end of that is working
quite well. I'm now receiving emails from producers in Europe,
also from agent AIFF. My Jewish shill. She says, wow, you know,
you're so right. The, the, well, the, it's under the flag of anti
semitism right now that the Muslims are, are rioting in
Europe and causing a ruckus? And, and this oh, this is
because of ISRAEL PALESTINE, which is is the excuse, but
they're really just causing a ruckus. It's distracting
creating chaos. And then you know, before you know it, the
look the the immigrants in in Western Europe are already in
government everywhere. The I think Europe is a is that a
loss? I don't see. I think that it's gone. Pretty much. I don't
see how they can change anything. We'll see it. They
can't turn it back when they're in government.
They gotta say the elites know how to do these things.
I think the elites want it. They want this is what they want is a
mess of it. Well, well, you tell me what's going on then. They're
just there to it's just being made a big fat mess.
Yeah, well, we'll have it figured out no time.
Yeah, before you know it. One more time. AMY GOODMAN cuz I
liked it so much.
Well, then I was wondering your response fellas to President
Obama.
Yes. President Obama being very nice.
I have a cool clip before we get to our first break. Talking
about because you had that that's a truth teller. Yeah, so
there was a there was a an event at Aspen the yearly Aspen
whatever bullcrap. I was just the security Aspen Institute's
yearly secret meeting.
Yeah, we had a couple of clips from some of the dishes up
there.
So this is all bright Madeleine Albright sitting on the stage
with Condon, Condoleezza Rice, and then there's the background
are on these people is kind of creepy, because they knew each
other and you know, it'd be apparently Albright was a
protege of Brzezinski.
Yes. Oh, yes. And she has she has one of the largest globalist
consulting companies around I mean, she, if you want to take
over a country, or you want to extract some resources, you call
the Albright group.
And it's kind of funny to listen to because the other guy and
there was gates as a guy, and he was contradicting the boat
bottle constantly. And it was actually very revealing. And
I'll get some of those because but I had to play the Albright
the truth teller, if you listen to this very carefully, you'll
see what what she what the truth is.
I do think it is the most serious event since the end of
the Cold War. And we all have been diplomats or in the
government and there many people here with the same background.
And there are things that happen all over the world all the time
there changes, border disputes, various arguments that go on and
that's what people like us used to do for a living
that's what we recreate border disputes all kinds of crap is
what we do for a living is it was Nudelman there by any
chance.
Victorian new Nuland was supposed to be this was done on
Friday this meeting. She was supposed to show up on Saturday,
which was yesterday to give her speech. So she was there
but it never showed up on any of the videos, so I couldn't pull
it. But I was whole I was scouring the net yesterday to
try to see if I can get the Newlands so I'm sure it'll show
up eventually. And I'm sure it'll be very interesting.
I love that that's what we do. Yeah, but you've noticed now
that the my Dawn is the people are now writing for real. And
then my dad again that covered our we know that in the like not
leaving and the chocolate King Poroshenko he's saying hey, you
know Can we all get along, but we need to honor the dead. And
people are saying, Hey, you didn't do a single thing you
promise not a single thing of now, where the Ukrainian
government and the US Neo cons are warning that if Russia even
tries to provide aid to the eastern Ukraine that will be
seen as an invasion. It's just was one instance when is
providing aid and a humanitarian humanitarian corridor, deemed an
invasion
before you know and the funny thing about this Aspen Institute
thing with these people nobody wants brings up any notion that
we're behind may Dawn and we had a lot to do with it. We had
newlon there. And we also had Brennan.
It's not a truth telling conference. This isn't making
money meet your customer conference.
It's just ridiculous that this is ignored to such an extreme.
You have I see you have two more clips. And if you want to play
well, we
can play it play the first one, which is the AD This is Condi
and Maj. talking amongst themselves. And then they put
this little little note in here, which I find to be kind of
weird. Now.
Condoleezza Rice, of course, was the ambassador, Secretary of
State.
under Bush, right, and maj Madeline Albright was the
Secretary of State under Clinton,
and is in their buddies is Condi in the Albright group.
I don't know if she is or not, but they're I know, they're
friends and they talk about their friendship.
Yeah, just for one just for one second, we we need to just look
up the Albright the Albright Stonebridge Group is what it's
known officially, then I just out
it because I think Conde wants is still in play as a political
politician.
We go beyond opening doors working alongside our clients to
help navigate challenging markets solve problems implement
strategies to manage risk. based in Washington and capitals
around the world. Our advisors provide unparalleled insights,
high level strategic advice and sound. With experience that
spans countries and industries. We tailor strategic solutions to
meet client's needs. Yes, we will take out entire governments
will kill people for you. We will create strife and rub
allies right before your very eyes. Who were the people didn't
have like some great people in there besides all bright? Oh,
yes. So all bright Berger. What do you have gold fields and
bankers. And we need the board. But we need but it just look at
it. Albright Stonebridge Group. And she's of the lizard people.
If you look at her, Oh, yeah. And she has a lot of experience
with this. She really did. She did. She did the Balkans was all
her her work, wasn't it? Yep. So I'm sure there they are. I'll
look at it. While we play this clip from the Aspen Institute.
We'll look at the news and see what they're doing
for Aspen Strategy Group. We are a unique institution, I think in
the American foreign policy firmament because we are
nonpartisan. We're not just bipartisan, but this is the
republicans, democrats and independents that come together
once a year here in Aspen. We have dialogues with the Chinese
Indian and Brazilian leadership's we are on our 30th
year. We were founded by two great Americans, general Brent
Scowcroft, who, unfortunately is not here right now but will be
in a couple of hours. And Professor Joe and I Harvard
University and so I would ask you to salute Joe maybe Joe you
could stay
elude him. That's right. Salute.
Thanks, man. Good work. Maybe we're gonna be discussing
Russia over the next three and a half days off the record
conversation. Off the record. There's nothing to talk about on
us Russian relations these days, but everything to talk about.
That that's at least humor, enjoy, wait, Bob's arrival, we
might talk about the issue that united Condoleezza Rice and
Madeleine Albright.
Haha. Now before we get to that, I'm going to tell you right now
I'm going to be following the news feed of the Albright
Stonebridge Group and I'm kicking myself now for not
having looked earlier. So I'll just give you the latest
headlines to tell you what the Albright group will be working
on to your senior counselor Don GIPS, participant GIPS
participating in a Bloomberg Google Hangout on the margins of
the USA Africa Business Forum. And then right followed by
Modi's first 100 days of you and I had a conversation I think
after the last show that we think India is due for some
verbalizing or making
making, we thought Debu because there's hints already that Ebola
in fact it's funny they would juxtapose in his newsfeed right
this guy, yeah, it's a Shepell mobile whatever his name is
talking about Africa and then right to India, and Africa,
India, Ebola Hello, I
think India would be just great for some Ebola. Yeah, it would
solve a lot of problems
with a lot of our problems.
So they were a big they had a big hand the All right group in
the, in this Africa summit, which makes complete sense and
so their clients are all over this. We'll talk about that if
we think well, you should
actually go down the feed further and you can see where it
starts to lead it's got all bright showing up on Face The
Nation they get good public relations, financial press, then
all bright again on CNN New Day, and then down and boom, there's
your hands Brzezinski, Brzezinski with the quote,
Russia sliding into isolation in disgrace. Hey, oh, so Albright
and Condi Rice in this little discussion. And you can play
this Yeah, I'd like to. But let me just set up a couple of
things. They trash, Russia, they trashed Putin. Albright says
he's deluded, he's delusional is a complete, you know,
crazy guy, he wants to go back to the old days of Russia, he'll
stop at nothing. He wants to kill everybody, Russia Ebolas.
And unfortunately, they brought gates in, which was a huge
mistake. Because gates just says, I don't think any of this
is true. Essentially, you play the gates, you're gonna play
this one, but play this one.
One thought I have before we get into this. I'm looking at
Albright. I'm looking at Brzezinski. I have a feeling
that we're at a very dangerous time. Because these people who
have been working on these initiatives for decades, they
want to really make another mark before they croak. And I'm a
little weary, may be afraid that they're going to push as hard as
they can. And it's not it's not about money or anything. It's
about the accomplishment of doing it and the true belief
that Russia has to be, you know, brought into line and China has
to be contained. And I'm worried that they're going to let you
know we say a continent now. Microtus Brahma, you've heard
the same before. Oh, yeah, I cat pushed into the corner can make
strange jumps, Confucius say, and I'm worried that they're
going to really push for some for some stuff that is a little
too risky. Well, how old are these people? 70s. They're all
they're all way in their 70s blister. But they don't know
they're not old. But they're old enough that they know that they
have to do this now. Because it's in play. Everything's teed
up. So they have to push push push. She 77 Yeah, so that's,
that's what she's only four foot 10.
Is that on our wiki page? Yeah. four foot 10.
I didn't know that. Wow. She's always seated, I guess is rigid.
You don't know that. But she's small.
You think she's seated? She's standing. Alright, let's listen
to this bit. I'm glad you got this because this is the kind of
stuff that you will not hear anywhere, unless you're really
going to look forward. And I think it's appropriate that our
podcast can take the time to play a little bit longer pieces
of important strategy sessions where these people are
Bilderberg Group, which are all bow, let's go hang out in front
of the Bilderbergs I see the elites driving in your new
owner. That is the distraction for the seed sellers. This is
where it really takes place out in the open. I didn't see anyone
there with a bullhorn yelling at them in Aspen. Did you was that
any notice of that? Yeah. Oh
no, no and bullhorns people, they say they're just saluting
newer,
New World Order signs. No, just everyone's saluting. And they
and they give you videos to look at freely. This is where it
really takes place
year after year pull off really extraordinary conversations in a
wonderful and civil way. Well, I was not to put too fine a point
on it a failed piano major. In college, I was supposed to be a
great pianist, started playing at the age of three. I came here
as a 17 year old, rising junior as my kids now call it at the
University of Denver to go to the Aspen Music Festival school.
And I met here 12 year olds who could play from sight but it
didn't take me all year to learn. And I thought find
another profession. And so I went back to Denver I was taking
classes tried a lot of things and fortunately wandered into a
course in international politics taught by a Soviet specialist a
Czech emigre, a great diplomat a man named Joseph core Bell and
it was Joseph core bell that stimulated my interest in things
international my interest is he
from the ice cream chain
that's core Val I'm
sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry,
didn't things Russian, my interest in diplomatic history
and he He convinced me that it was okay for a black girl from
Birmingham, Alabama to want to be a Soviet specialist. And that
was the start of my career. I just have to say he also said
and I have that I'd like you to meet some times she's studying
with big Brzezinski at Columbia. Her name is Madeline's big can
take that
story. By the way, if you're on the inside, you say it's a big,
big, big is the big the big is a big, big, big The Big Lebowski.
So what happened was my father was a Czechoslovak diplomat who
didn't want to work for the communists and came to the
United States and defected. And at that stage, I understand now
how it works. The Rockefeller Foundation, found them a job at
the University of Denver, we had no idea where Denver was, my
parents bought a car and started driving across America. And my
mother said, everybody says Denver's the Mile High City, but
we're not going up. So maybe we're going the wrong direction.
So anyway, my father started teaching at the University of
Denver and ultimately became dean of the graduate school, and
he died in 1977. And by then he was a really big deal. And there
were lots of flowers and tributes and things at his
funeral. And among them was this beautiful ceramic pot in the
shape of a piano with some leaves and things in it. And I
said to my mother, where did this come from? And she said, is
from your father's favorite student, Condoleezza Rice. So in
1987, when I was working for my long string of losing Democratic
presidential candidates,
and we know what's great, isn't this kind of creepy? Yes. But
it's, it's creepy in a very enameling engaging way. And you
and when you see all these connections come together. Yeah,
it's, I'd like this. I like listening to this.
You know, why not, in fact, get in touch with this woman,
Condoleezza Rice, who was I knew an African American music major,
I'll call the Blackie. That's what she's saying. But she's
just not saying
from Alabama who wrote her dissertation on the Czechoslovak
military with my father. So I thought she teaches on the West
Coast Soviet expert, I'll ask her to join my group. Joe was a
part of the group. And I said, Connie, this is what I'm doing.
And she said, Madeline, I don't know how to tell you this, but
I'm a Republican. And I said, Condi, how could you be we have
the same father.
Okay, so no, okay. Wow, creepy.
Well, anyway, the two of them go on and they start to talk I
didn't clip this because it's just with these clips are too
long. Yeah. So they go on and on a bitching and moaning about
Russia together, the two of them have the same she said Connie
was say one thing and that Madeline would take it to the
next level. And then Kanye would take in the next level. And it
was all about how, how horrible Putin is. And then fact it to
the point where it was they were just trashing him. And, and
they, obviously that was, you know, part of some sort of
philosophy that's obvious. He's Brzezinski. He's Zig or whatever
it is. The big grand chessboard is wigs. Now it's it's his game.
They all loves the big
day, apparently. Yeah. And so gates comes on. And this is the
gate is Robert Robert Gates. Robert Gates is ex CIA guy who's
also in the Defense Department did a bunch of things. And he's
actually very personable
uncle Don, my uncle Don, does not like him. Well, I
can see that is something of a BS, but I think he's personable.
But he does have a few things to say that contradict the two
women. And but I think in this clip, the pm Russia clip, I
think he outlines and reality a realistic look at things, which
is probably the official look,
border changes could only be resolved through peaceful
negotiations and the consent of the parties, and not kind of
satisfaction of revanchist claims by force. The second was
the freedom of sovereign states to choose which other countries
with whom they wanted to ally, politically, economically, and,
and for security, both of those Putin as essentially thrown
aside. And so the what all of the what the Europeans and we
for a long time felt was a matter settled at the end of the
Cold War is now very much back up on the table. I think that I
think Putin has to two goals. I don't know that he's delusional.
Maybe because we both came from the spy business. He and I had a
very interest lasting relationship. We didn't like
each other. But there was a certain interesting respect or
suspicion, I'm not sure which. But we would speak very frankly
to one another. And partly because I wasn't the diplomat,
and neither was he, he's clearing
his throat much. Yeah. I'm not sure what that's telling us. But
it's some there's an element of bold crap coming out of him. But
it's still the same time. It's very interesting.
strychnine.
But But I think he has after two things, and one is what Condi
alluded to, or talked about. And that is this, this sense of
historical mission to protect the Russians who were left
behind
this is this is the ongoing narrative, that he has the
historical mission
after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But the second is more
traditional Russian behavior. And that is the creation or re
creation of a band of states on the periphery of Russia, that
leaned toward Moscow, economically, politically and
for security. He doesn't want to recreate the Soviet Union, I
don't think I want to be responsible for all those
economic basket cases on the periphery.
That's a different narrative. I like that. Yeah. And I also see,
yeah, well, I understand what he's doing this with the EU is
the same thing. Bunch of states, you know, we'll take that crap
in Greece, give it to us
buffer state buffers you,
but he does want to recreate this this buffer, if you will,
the integral has been very part of very much a part of Russian
history for good reason. Yeah, of course. And frankly, I think
he sees Ukraine as the linchpin of that linchpin. Gab was where
the Russian Empire was founded over 1000 years ago. Is that
true?
I didn't know that. But it's apparently,
where the Russian Empire was founded to what he says. Could
be I mean, just roll it back a little bit,
kind of thing that he's just going to. That's not the kind of
thing he would say and not get caught. is true. I don't have
don't do not have the backup for that.
He says it's like 1000 years ago, like a long time ago. Yeah,
like back in the day, it was gonna fact check that.
Well, I still think that one of the two women would have a clue
to part of Russian history for a long time. And frankly, I think
he sees Ukraine as the linchpin of that linchpin. Gab was where
the Russian Empire was founded. What is
a linchpin? Actually, what is it? What is an actual linchpin?
Is that is that a nautical turn?
No, no. Oh, it could be lengthy. I know it's a pin that if you
pull it out, bad things happen.
But do you mind if I just look very quickly? Can you pass
through the Oh, of course, of course. Well, I would call it
something else. But it's a pin patch to the end of an axle to
keep a wheel in position. What do we call that? We call that
some there's a different word for it for cotter pin cotter
pin. Yeah. I Lynch.
That sound is good. Because it has a cotter pin of the whole
thing. So
if you if you take this guy, the wheels come off it
over 1000 years ago, 1000 years, I think he does see it as a made
up state. And, and I think that he will never rest easy as long
as he thinks that put that Ukraine might slide West and
and, and away from Russia and not a part of that. buffer of
states on the periphery of Russia. All right.
Okay, well, I like he's a little his. His version is a little
alternative but doesn't sound like he's any better or worse
than any of the Atlanticist who want
to have the same narrative. Of course, he just has a little
more. He has a little more detail to it. He's still an anti
Putin NIST Pooh. poohing this. And he is still connected. I
think. I think that's why he's there. He's got some. He's like,
I think he's the spokes hold for the CIA in these meetings.
Oh, yeah. But make no mistake. Nobody really cares. Exxon Mobil
just started drilling in the Arctic.
In color the Russians for the Russians. Yeah.
And Putin is up there and like, everyone's together, nobody
cares. But just is just playing little games Stratego. Whatever
that game is. Stratego? Isn't that the game? Is that what it's
called? Hey,
yeah, I guess I've never played Stratego curiously. Oh, I used
to play for hours on end. You want to play a few minutes of
the gates to clip which I think goes into something else. Yeah,
I
do. Just distance myself from the two secretaries of state and
in this respect, I always like The definition of diplomacy is
saying nice dog until you could find a rock.
Nice.
Yeah, I like that. Yeah, that's what you do with dogs when
you're an asshole. The, by the way, listen to how many people
are saying he's just like me. I throw rocks and dogs all the
time. Yeah, stupid stray mutt. Yep. Wow, look kind of little
frightening there people.
I think I think Putin thing. The thing to remember is that Putin
could remain President of Russia until 2024. He's playing a long
game. And I think we need a long game. Yeah, I agree. And I agree
with everything in terms of reactions, short term that Condi
and Madeline have kind of described, I would provide
lethal weapons, but with a heavy emphasis on those that are
largely seen as defensive, rather than an offensive
capability. And sometimes that's a pretty thin line. But
But I think that that just depends on which end of the
barrel you're on gates,
a long game, I remember, in 2008. Condi, and I realizing how
much intelligence we were getting on how extensive Russian
Black Ops were in Central Asia and places like Kyrgyzstan, and
so on, trying to stir up anti Americanism. So this is not
something that just started six months or a year ago. And and I
think is a key element there. What we need to do is not only
strengthen NATO, so
yeah, I think you're I kind of glossed over it. Let me just go
back a little bit. Let's hear that, again, how much
intelligence we were getting on how extensive Russian Black Ops
were in Central Asia, in places like Kyrgyzstan, and so on,
trying to stir up anti Americanism.
Now, that was also purely for extractive purposes.
I bet was that and it was almost like you almost get that back
off. And if you say, well, the Russians were doing this in
those areas. Well, let's do the same thing to them in Ukraine.
Yeah. And see how they like it. It's a tit for tat.
So this is not something that just started six months or a
year ago. And and I think what we need to do is not only
strengthen NATO's military presence, my biggest worry for
the Baltic States is not that Putin will send troops across it
is that he has such extraordinary economic leverage
in all three of those places where you go. And so one of the
things that I think we ought to be looking at both with respect
to the Baltic states and with Ukraine, is how what can we do
to screw the better safety net economically under those states,
so that if Putin does start turning the screws, you using
Russia as leverage in the Baltic states economic leverage, but
also the cyber capabilities that he demonstrated against to
Estonia, I think in 2007,
what was that? The Cyber cape and you hear some 2007? Yeah, I
remembered, what was the cyber capabilities as well.
We talked about Estonia. Yeah. Estonia, which is the most wired
of all these Baltic states? Had it? Yeah, we had a lot of I
think they shut them down or something. For some reason.
There was something going on. I don't remember now. But it was a
while back. Before we did the show.
Well, you said to
the real thing. He's talking about the oil cutting off the
gas. Yes.
That that those Baltic states don't have to knuckle under,
because they've got an economic alternative.
Right, which is Europe, I
guess. EU? Well, us, us.
Yeah. Well, I'm good. I'm glad you clipped that. And I actually
have been a elitist narrative to discuss as a follow on to that,
which I think might surprise you. And it'll be maybe a
multiple part series of something we're going to do here
on the show. But that's just a teaser. Because right now, I
have to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to you John C. Dvorak.
Well, well, well in the morning to you, Adam curry, also in the
morning and all ships at sea boots on the ground feet in the
air subs in the water and all the dams and nights out there.
And I want to say in the morning to everybody in the chat room,
no agenda stream.com Thank you, Boyd zero for making all of that
work. Again. Thank you all for hanging out with us. Thank you
very much to our artists who are always bringing us fantastic
artwork. It is a big part of the success of this program. Is that
we have new art for every single episode, Phil V. uploaded his
art to no agenda, art generator.com And we all look
forward to it. We'll see On for today's episode what you choose
right after the show, and it's very hard some time we had a
hard time actually, we went back and forth a lot on this one. It
was the John Kerry. Mr. Potatohead with his foot off
yelling Putin, which was kind of funny. Yeah, I like that a lot.
Yeah, it was, it was couldn't find any look original art too.
So thank you, James zone, we want to thank a few of the
producers that gave us some produce production money for
show 642 including James a wolgemuth, who gave us the
beasts donation,
the big beast, he came in with the big beast and he is a winner
of the big beast contest.
No, no.
He's a little beast. I'm sorry. What am I thinking?
And he says, From Everett, Washington down the road here
from where I am. And he's, she's over to the side. And he says
thanks for the funny photo newsletter. And that's all he
says, well, it
was a funny photo newsletter. Yes, it's
always funny that I you know, I had some guy wrote in he says,
oh, you know, I blah, blah, blah, so that I have a plugin so
I don't see any of the images. And he then he goes on about
something a goo which would have been explained by one of the
images because we have just typically it's three or four or
five funny photos. You had a
lot this time you had a lot of big beast photos and all and
they had always a cute kitten photo and works wonders.
Well, not always, but sometimes a panda sometimes the doggy
whatever the case,
you should do dog and with a rock with nine rockets
that I looked for that actually to be honest. The thing is, I
don't think the newsletters any good without the photos.
It's what makes it all come together. It's it is instead of
it's not just a newsletter, it is a product that is a piece of
it is a work of art, but it is a true product free. I might add
that you can just you can just sign up for it. There's a sign
up link on every show notes page.
Yeah. And even sometimes it newsletters doesn't have a lot
of news. It's still a great newsletter because of the
photos.
Yeah, but Mickey McKee, who is really no, this is not her
thing, newsletters but she always Oh, I got the newsletter.
And she likes what it says. But she of course likes the photos
too. And I do so I'm saving every single one when it comes
into my email, boom, I archive it. I like it a lot. So you do
your good work on that.
So David Foley likes it too, because he came in with $333.33.
Holy moly, the grand Zouk. stream out in the morning,
gentlemen, just a quick note to thank you for your continued
analysis and discussions that can be found nowhere else. Thank
you. In addition, in listening to the yesterday's show, I
realized that be VPS sole executive producer donation
means that it was my turn to step up and represent the
territory of the United States in donating to the best podcast
in the universe and what is referred to as Baron von
Pallasmaa, Grand Duke, France, France and Belgium.
I do have an extra an extra bit from our Grand Duke that he has
this is the ultra flex, which I didn't know that's what his His
thing was, I guess he's doing the same he's going taking it
one step higher than Netflix is ultra flex with 4k TV streams,
right? And he said, I'll just read this verbatim. Hey, guys,
can you put out a call to action during the credit segment on
Sunday? I just thought of this and would like you to call it
out. I'd like to reach out to any no agenda producers that
have video production skills, and have the time to create 15
and 32nd advertisements for no agenda. I've got several slots
on my 4k Ultra HD network and I can run these ads at no cost and
it helps to help us spread the word. What is going on?
I rousted one of the dogs from the door he's going to bust in
in a minute. Yeah, and they don't I took up up the stairs
and scared the parrot.
But you know what you have to do? throw a rock at that
I didn't have a rock to throw in. It's a glass door.
If anyone can create a video advertisement for the show,
please contact Ultra flicks at n tech.com. I'll put that in the
show notes. And November Tango echo kido.com. I'll work with
them to spread the word. Well, first of all, I'd love to have
some no agenda video commercials. It makes a lot of
sense if and we do have people who do this. What good repair
does the parent say anything or just squawk?
No, no, the parrot is hilarious. The parent says everything in
everybody's voice. And occasionally. Once in a while
well get into a conversation in someone's voice and your your
duck down here or something you go. Who's in here? It sounds
like somebody's in the house.
What's the parents name? Again,
Skyler.
Okay can you Skyler Skyler,
you can't believe me bear with
me, Skylar.
I like to get he would say Putin. I said well, but the
funny thing is they want to Putin. He would do with Putin.
But the funny thing about this bird is that, besides getting
into these conversations, is that he's a guard bird. And
that's why he's making all this racket right now. Sorry. Okay,
how old is and by? The way I was gonna say is that he's so far
away from you have no idea where he is. He's nowhere near here.
And then you I've always wondered why we haven't been
able to because I was at the there's a Kookaburra, there's
some birds or some Australian bird Kookaburra, I can't
remember. But they, if you've ever been in a, in a hall, where
there's one of these things, and they decide to lead out in
noise, it will, it will definitely like the stupid
parrot. Oh, yeah. Now, if you think about it, I don't know if
this is good for one of those solicitation deals where you get
money for an invention like this. But then their vocal cords
are little bitty things. You mean a Kickstarter? Kickstarter?
A little bit? How come you can't make speakers? That small with
that much volume coming out with a bird can do it with the lungs
aren't that big? They're not, you know, it's a little bitty
thing. And so that then they're just little bitty voice voice
bots? Well,
that's a very good question. It's not a great question, but
it's a good question. I think it's because the amount of air
pressure one can create and a bird apparently as well with
your lungs is that's really what it is. It's the air pressure
that makes it work
on a bird is nothing Well, let's
open them up and take a look.
It might be scolding him for making a bunch of racket
interrupting the phone this show. All right. Onward. Yes.
Raju woo Tae J, which would EJ wattage. Anyway, he's not he's
actually sent a note with a pronunciation which I of course
don't have from Slovenia. He is our first Slovenian 3333333.
Nice executive producer that I know of. First time donation

my bit. A shout out to Fred Herbert and Mr. Page.
Well, then he gets a D douching.
Then page, Mr. Page.
He does not ask him for it. But if it's his first time donation,
should we just deduce him? Yeah, give him one. I'm happy to. D
do. Nice. Nice. Nice.
Sir. John Donovan. This came in late. It's good. Angela. Oh, I'm

We have to do
the I wanted to do that. Now her blam. We can do it right now. If
you want to have her blam staying there for you? Well, I
it's 233. And he got credited in the credits, but somehow we
skipped over him. Yeah. And he said, it doesn't even matter.
You just want to make sure that we actually got the donation.
And we appreciate it herb and we're sorry. So we will add you
as an extra credit today to make up for it. Yeah,
get a double credit. Hell yeah.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
Sir John Donovan in San Jose, California. This came in

though it's gonna show up again in the next spreadsheet to 4642.
So when you do have certain privileges when you're a knight

It is the curry family reunion at the the old homestead where

everyone's coming in and barracks. That's gonna be fun.
My daughter's flying in from from Amsterdam. I'm sure we're
gonna go up together. And it's his uncle Don, you know. So
there's going to be that's actually something I want to
talk about in a moment. But first, a mention to everyone
that these are real credits these executive producer and
associate exec producer credits, they can be used anywhere just
like Hollywood with the only exception that we actually give
them a little more credence by vouching if someone questions
them, but you can use them anywhere and people like to put
them on their LinkedIn that seems to work very well. We
highly appreciate this. And we'll have another Thank you
segment for our donors $50 and above coming up in just a little
bit here on the show devorah.org/and And of course we
always need you to do some very important work of going out and
propagating our formula.
Our formula is this we go out for hit people in the mouth
shut up. Fear is freedom. Liberation. Contradiction is the
facts of this world and you will surrender to them
hello pigs in human clothing that I have here in my hands
John, a hard cover copy of the book pot shards. Pot shards,
pot. Contact as input shards.
Shards is in charge
fragments of a life lived in CIA, the White House and the two
Koreas. Oh, by John P. Greg.
It came out. Yes. Oh, did you get an autographed copy?
I am taking this copy with me to get autographed. But and would
you like me to read a little piece from the Preface?
I'd love to hear that.
Okay. Fragments of memory have persisted through the vagaries
of time like shards of pottery broken long ago. So he
wanted to be a apparently a novelist with this kind. Well,
this is going to explain. This is why I'm reading it so we can
understand what this is about. They are reminders of things
from all but forgotten past. When I was US Ambassador to
South Korea, I would often stop my armored car construction
sites and soul to prowl around freshly broken ground looking
for ancient ancient pot shards newly exposed I have boxes of
shards thus collected that can never be reconnected to what was
once was hole. I also have a vivid collection of memories
that I will try to string together to create the narrative
of this book. I remember waking up one night long ago, a small
boy filled with fear of dying. I cried out and my parents heard
me and came into my room. I was still sniffling, but they
comforted me enough so that I asked through my tears. If I
would live to see the year 2000. They assured me that I would and
I asked how old I would be when the date came. They told me I
would be 72 years old, that seems so reassuringly far off in
the future that I was able to fall back to sleep. It is now
well more than 14 years into the 21st century. And I realized
that if I'm ever to connect the dots of my memory, I had better
get started now. So I shall begin. Yeah, exactly. That's
what I said. So I will be
getting through clouds at the book. Of course, of course.
Gonna pull out a couple of tidbits. Absolutely. And then
we're going to discuss them in a future show. Yes.
And and know that Uncle Don was once the most feared man in
North Korea, but that has long since passed. And he is now a
revered man in North Korea. Right? He goes and visits Yeah.
And he tries to make things work. And while nobody pays
attention, Washington No. Washington ignores him and does
not like him for it. Yeah, that's why he doesn't like
gates. Yeah,
exactly. Exactly. But then there's that Iran Contra thing.
It's so annoying. Beyond that just never seems to quite can't
shake that off. Yeah. Oh, well, but Oh, well. I'm
sure that will be discussed in the book.
You probably well, he thanks, Felix Rodrigo. Since the doll
that guy, torturer has one of his friends. Oh, yeah, I know. I
know. I know. I know. This Greek is
was I we had Robert Rodriguez clip on once when he was were
with Hayden and these guys are worried sick, they're gonna get
thrown in jail. And and Rodriguez just seems like a gay
addict data guy you don't want to get on the bad side of I
think they
were all in Vietnam together you know they were like in combat.
So that's probably a different relationship that builds in
situations like that. There's something very fun happening in
New York. I'm glad I'm going. And I when I saw this initiative
pop up it like, Finally, here's someone who sees an opportunity
and is taking complete different approach. It's called the high
rise safety initiative. They have a website. Let me see what
is it? Hi rise safety nyc.org. And he they have a video to go
with it, which is just
beautiful. What if your office tower completely collapsed? Fire
high rise buildings are built to withstand raging fires that have
been for decades. And yet, in the late afternoon of September
11 2001, this World Trade Center seven collapsed to the ground.
And I turned the time to see what looks like a skyscraper
implosion look like if it's done by demolition crew, the whole
thing just collapsed. And God itself
wasn't hit by a plane and had only scattered fire burned. My
name is Don Butterfield had been a practicing architect and
engineer in New York City for close to 50 years. Many of us in
the architecture and engineering community are concerned that
this building could collapse. So we are supporting the high rise
Safety Initiative, a ballot measure that would require the
city of New York to investigate the collapse of this building.
And any future high rise collapse.
It's so smart.
Like right funny,
you know, it's, Hey, this this building collapse because of a
couple of fires, we need to investigate not only what
happened, but every building in New York because this could
happen to your building. Because it didn't get hit by a plane.
And they're putting it on the ballot for November November 4.
And if approved by the voters will require the New York City
Department of Buildings to investigate high rise building
collapses in New York that occurred on or anytime after
September 11 2001.
Well, that would only be one or two or three buildings.
Yes. In fact, world. One, two and seven. Yes. Want to make
sure
it was just poorly built?
Yeah, probably. Just shitty work. Exactly. Exactly. Okay,
here is something really bad happening. And I started to put
this stuff together. But right now, there's a lot of stories
about the porn business in leaving Los Angeles because of
the the condom requirement.
Yeah, I think they're going to Arizona or someplace? Well,
yes. But there's a setup in here, which is very sneaky.
This, this comes and goes. We've heard this for several years,
this has been going on this conversation about the condom
law. But now there is a new there's a new twist. And the
twist is trying to make it porn production safe if the actors
are taking a Truvada. This is the prep, as it's known, the new
medical regimen that can help prevent HIV transmission
do anything to get people to take these things?
Well, and this is exactly what this is being pushed very, very
hard and very callously, I would say now, Brian are gay Crusader
has been on my case about this for a long time. And and the
evidence is just is just mounting that right up to the
FDA and the CDC, they are not really communicating very well
that Truvada is by no means a miracle cure by or prevention
preventive cure, but and by no means does it mean you should
stop using condoms. In fact, the evidence shows that it really is
quite dangerous if you were to rely on this at all. And so
here's more news. Grindr is now marketing Truvada. So Grindr is
the gay hookup app. And they are now advertising on on the app.
And I believe there is too much misinformation and perhaps
disinformation out there, that people are not being told that
it is not safe to use this as solely without other protective
measures, if you if you do not want to be susceptible to
contracting the HIV virus, and NPR, which is a part of this
report is a part of the Kaiser medical report, which I
yeah, you notice.
I hate this.
They bring some woman on who is a representative Kaiser. She's
worked for Kaiser, and she's in there to give them the do the
medical segment of the show. This is native advertising. As
far as I'm concerned. I would be stunned if they didn't get a
pile of money for this.
Well, that well, it's it's sponsored by it or it's
produced, CO produced by Kaiser Kaiser, of course, is the Kaiser
Foundation, The Kaiser metric they have a nonprofit side of
the house. It's supposed to be a Chinese wall in between and
Kaiser Permanente we know is huge in the the in the medical
insurance business? Correct? The Kaiser Permanente?
Well, yeah, but it's a it's a, it's one of the four it may be
the original, at least one of the first HMOs. Right, and
they are management or manage ordinate organizations that
would, right?
So you when you're a Kaiser, you have insurance, but you have to,
you can get away with going to an independent once in a while
in an emergency, but generally speaking, you have to go to a
Kaiser facility. But all of this you're okay. I mean, but you
know, still so the
Truvada is it's still a very expensive pill, I believe. But
obviously, it's going to be covered and they're pushing it
very hard. And I believe it is very bad for the health of
anyone who's having sex and believes that you can take this
and not have to worry about contracting AIDS. And I am going
to hear accused NPR of at the very, the very least not
providing all the information in this report by telling people
very clearly that this is not a A you can this is not a
replacement. And at the very worst, I'm going to accuse them
of actually advertising Truvada, in this report, which I've cut
down a little bit doesn't reduce from the content, but just for
the snappiness of our show, very disturbing reports on the
national treasure NPR, a CO produced by Kaiser medical the
pill
is Truvada a combination of two drugs used to treat HIV. Despite
Eric's negative HIV status, he takes the pill daily. After
hearing about the treatment and doing extensive research on his
own. McCauley made an appointment with his primary
care doctor,
he was very supportive about it encouraged me to do it gave me a
lot of stuff to read, give me a lot of stuff to think about, and
told me that I was a good candidate for it
now. That's any sounds like what Yeah, that's a commercial.
That's that's okay. He was very supportive. I did a lot of
research. This is telling you do some research, call your doctor
talk to your doctor about Truvada. He might have some
materials for you. So off we
went a few months into treatment. McCauley says the
only change has been in his attitude.
I have what I was looking for. I have peace of mind. I feel like
I've taken responsibility for my health.
Although Truvada has been on the market for a decade, only
recently had prescribing guidelines been available. Not
every doctor is as familiar with prep, as McCauley says so here's
if your doctor doesn't know right, then we're going to help
you understand how to get through that and work with the
system to educate your doctor. So I'm within the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender communities have gone as far as
to label those on PrEP as Truvada hoards. The
the Truvada hor Yeah, this is what's going on. This is a real
term, then there are Truvada whores, the people who have been
and they're not that they're whores, but they have been
convinced that it's now safe. We've got the prep, we've got
the Truvada poohbear back, your best
assumption being you're on Truvada. So you probably, you
know, run around having sex with whoever you can.
I'm not surprised to hear that. I've heard it before.
That's Dr. Melanie Thompson. She's the principal investigator
of the AIDS consortium of Atlanta and has long worked in
HIV research. She's encountered reluctance from some healthcare
providers to prescribe PrEP, because of a lack of knowledge
about it.
This is an interesting thing to me because doctors who say you
know, I don't want to prescribe PrEP to somebody who might be at
risk for HIV, because they might not use condoms. You know, it's
an approach we wouldn't take in other areas of medicine.
Thompson says no doctor would refuse to prescribe cholesterol
lowering statins to patients because they're overweight. But
somehow the conversation around prep is different.
I know. So now the comparison is being made between statins and
cholesterol and being overweight. And Truvada somehow
being equal to that in the protection against AIDS. And
very briefly, do they mention to you of course, no one would ever
take it without using condoms where they put Yeah, that's
exactly the message you're sending. So I
think it's a very interesting moralistic attitude that soon
will be outdated with this
woman. She is a horrible person. Yeah,
she's she's from the UN AIDS Foundation, which, obviously a
shill for this drug.
But I do think that this is a barrier for some patients, they
feel stigmatized. And honestly, health care providers need to
step up their game and do better than that.
There you go. Come on health care providers. You can do
better you can you can prescribe Truvada
as CDC spokeswoman said via email that lack of awareness and
knowledge among healthcare providers is one of the primary
challenges to prep success. But both Dr. Thompson and CDC
officials hoped the newly issued treatment guidelines will help
overcome any barriers.
This story is part of a reporting partnership of NPR W A
B and Kaiser Health News.
There you go. So as a true as the person who truly cares for
my LGBTQ IAP brothers and sisters do not stop using
protective measures such as condoms or specifically condoms.
This you are being fooled. And I don't know if they want to kill
people or what the I don't know why this is being said why this
is being done. monetary gain, for sure. Really do not fall for
this trick. This is discussed
in these these these drugs. These drug companies are just
shameless. So there was a good article in the I sent you a link
to put in the show notes of a 12 year old dies after routine
doctor's visit. Yeah, a lot of people email somebody some 12
year old little 12 year old goes in and dead after you know
getting a out of the blue I guess they gave getting began
her on the on the shots for HPV Gardasil HPV shot the virus
vaccine. Well, they're the 12 year also got the first round of
the HPV vaccine. Afterwards, Meredith was tired and wanted to
sleep her mom went to get her get to get her a carry out. But
when she returned, something was terribly wrong. When I got home,
she had just thrown up was nonresponsive in my living room
floor I performed CPR was taken to wall. Well, Keisha Memorial
where she died. Yeah. Oh, this is not just the and this is the
key. The only thing different about that day was that shot. I
wish I would have known more about it before I agreed to it.
She agreed to it. She's got to be guilt ridden now.
Horrible. Of course, it's horrible.
Yeah, well, and by the way, people that listen to our show
that have
Yeah, well we discussed this in great detail and the scam over
for months and months and with the bin I have women in my life
who have gone through this terrorization of pre K or pre
cancerous you've got to get the Gardasil shot because your pre
can't live we're all pre cancer. I am pre dead right now as I as
I speak.
We're all pre pre dead everybody except maybe a couple of lizards
out there all prepared for
you rigor mortis.
So while you're on the topic of the of the sex workers, porn
stars, or
call them superheroes, yes,
they could just coincidental to me that the economist should
send you a link for the show notes. The Economist has
essentially produced a guide to prostitution. I saw
this Yes, I think I think I have it in the show notes somewhere
yeah, it's
how new technology is shaking up the oldest business more bang
for you, but it has a cute little disclaimer at the
beginning is warning we rarely feel the need to alert readers
to explicit content Yeah, but our discussion of the online sex
trade requires Frank language but which by the way, there's
hardly any in there and may and some may find the topic
distasteful. We and it goes on with pretty much I never knew
half this stuff. I always thought I kept up with they have
charts and graphs about prices about a bargain where you can
get worried what websites to go to to find hookers. It's I'm
looking at this going are you kidding me with this thing?
Here's a link that gives a graph and looks matter showing that
the graph showing you get
the girlfriend experience the girlfriend experience, or is
this for the for the customers
fat very fat and heavy women get $200 with the athletic and trim
and thin and skinny, they get to 60 and up. And then also hair
length that they want. They want blood you want this is according
to the graph. The winners here are the blondes, the athletic or
trim blondes or thin, athletic or thin blondes with very long
hair that's top dollar with a D cup and above. And it goes down
to C B A and flat is at the bottom. Nobody likes flat
hookers, I guess. And how come on this entire category of by
No, but they don't get the big bucks. Okay, all right. That's
the difference. Anyway, this thing goes on and on and on and
on. It's quite an extensive article. It's huge. Anyway, and
they have all so anyone looking for ketchup or find out what's
going on with the oldest profession in the world get a
copy of The Economist. I
think they know exactly where their who their audience is. And
bankers. Yeah. Looking for the whore.
No.
Let's not call them whores. No, the bankers aren't whores.
They're looking for horse.
But don't don't call the prostitutes horse. That's not
okay. They're looking for hookers. They're looking for
girls social workers. Well, at these prices? Well, and in
curious it is a curiosity to say Tokyo has the lowest prices. But
then they have a good argument. Why is because we may not know
what the real prices are for the what's going on at Tokyo because
we're just kind of admitting that they don't know what the
hell's going on, it seems to me
but I'd like to know as you know, who did the article what
kind of research did they go to all these prostitutes
everywhere? And all these cities are they have stringers if you
say hey, go for go do this research. And what was the
budget?
Well, this would be interesting information. There is. It's
under briefing. There's no byline. So I'm assuming that
they sent everybody out to checkout thing. Just do a
survey. What do you what do you charge? I don't know. I have no
idea. I just know that this is probably a pretty this could
have been an e book. And they would have sold a lot of copies.
They dropped the ball giblet would have been a giblet.
Speaking of which, there's a There's a book out called
console wars. Which
and who would read this book? Who's the author? Well, it's
about ex boxer. Yeah,
it's about Sega and Nintendo the battle that defined a generation
by Blake J. Harris. And there are many people who are reading
this book. Why we listen to this program? Well, people love we're
not gamers. I'm not a gamer. I've never been I stopped with
the Doom. Doom on DOS. after that. I lost interest
altogether. I've just never been a probably because I know I
would get sucked in and
yeah, you'd be playing the thing constantly. be addicted very,
very. Yeah. And
there's also an odd and an Audible audiobook of this, which
I was sent a clip from. And if you know how I like mocking
people and and doing their voice
Yeah, you do that?
It's kind of strange whenever sounds
like the person Right, exactly.
And now I'm recognizing this because there's a passage in
this book. I am apparently a part of the console wars. What?
Yes. And you're in the book. Yes. And I remember this. When
when I when I heard the passage which I will play for you. I do
remember it taking place I remember being completely
disinterested. And I think they paid me two grand or something
for the appearance. But what's funny is the the guy who's
reading the book, does my voice.
Say go to Toys R Us to host what looked and felt like a political
rally for Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic himself was there to greet
incoming fans, friends, journalists, as was his huggable
new sidekick tails on hand to complement but never
overshadowed the hedgehog. Both characters patrolled the
perimeter of this rally, ushering guests towards a small
stage or MTBS Adam curry emcee the event, standing behind a
podium with a Hollywood worthy poster for Sonic too, and in
front of a 30 foot too fast to cool to day batter. Curry revved
up the crowd for this groundbreaking occasion.
Can you imagine me revving up the crowd John does revenue up
and Toys R Us Here we go.
After building up momentum for Generation X is first unofficial
holiday. He welcome SIG as non hedgehog man of the hour. And
now to tell you more about all the exciting details a Sega of
America's President and CEO Tom Kolinsky nailed it. Wow.
Not in more like you doing his his voice.
And now he's the man surfer.
portray when I get to do as Adam Curry was a man, that's great.
I wish he would have done that now he just sound like a stooge.
Like a student show that was
pretty funny. Is there any techniques? John, do you have
any? Is there any tech news? Is there a phone number you have
anything going on?
No, there's no phone, no new phone? There's no technical
crap.
Yeah, there is. Oh, yes. Yes, I have two pieces of tech news.
One. This is disturbing. Google has now said that they will give
preference in their rankings to websites that use HTTPS.
Why? Because it's
more secure. So
blog now. So the blogs will get less and less because they're
not using HTTP. Okay, because setting up HTTP No, I I'm gonna
say something even though I even though it's not tech news, you
can just talk about it. I'm gonna discuss tech news sources.
Is it technically? Yes.
Can you just work in the phone? The word phone?
Don't close. Yeah. Well, you could do this on your phone. So
I've moved I've now I hate it. It's weird. But I've done it.
Mimi gripes at me, because I changed it on her machine. I'm
now using Bing as the default search engine because I'm
getting better results. Sure. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're doing it's a classic lock in really, because
ultimately, where's the easiest way to what blogs are going to
support this? You know, blogspot, blogger, you know, all
the Google stuff is going to support it. It's HTTPS. If I
had, if I had to implement this, I had to get a certificate. And
of course, it can't be a self signed certificate. This is a
pain in the ass.
So yeah, I think it's not necessary. 99% of websites don't
need HTTPS, the amount that they need it for. What do you need it
for? Tell me what you need. I'll tell
you a man in the middle of mine try and hijack you reading my
blog and then might insert to like, nefarious content.
Doesn't happen. Yeah, there you go. I want to do more tech news
then.
Okay, what's what's your Okay? Wait, is it about a phone?
No, I'll go but I'll work a phone in okay. Now this is
possible. The bear could be looking for a phone. Okay, good.
I have a clip. Oh, a clip. Nice.
This is a big story. Big Story on all the networks. The Walking
Bear
Bear video that has much of America talking and so we wanted
to know is it the real deal? ABCs Ron clay born in the
neighborhood.
See for yourself that experts tell ABC News is not someone in
a bear suit. They say it really is a bear standing on his hind
legs and walking just just comfortably and smoothly as a
person. Think he looks better than
new dog. He stuck his head up at first and then he stood up
fully. And then he started to walk. There it is. There it is.
This sighting caught on camera July 19. The bear ambling down a
residential street in suburban Oak Ridge, New Jersey. That is a
bipedal bear. Two weeks later.
What kind of bear is he?
He's bipedal very ghosts.
Again, just two doors down. And that's me. In northern New
Jersey, where black bears and humans coexist easily. A bear
sighting is no big deal. But a bear strolling around like some
mall shopper. Very big deal. It's scary at first, but after
you've seen it a couple of times, it just becomes weird.
The guy one says local residents have nicknamed this bear Vinny.
It turns out state wildlife officials have been monitoring
than he ever since he was first reported to them back in June.
They say he's a juvenile under three years old and weighs about
250 pounds. And he is walking upright. Because his two front
paws are injured
more than likely it was a car accident. bears can walk on
their hind legs very well. And it's just an how is this tech
news?
The bear was looking for a phone
good one. The only other piece of news I had Bucha I'm I think
the shine is coming off Tony Stark. Tony Stark. I mean, Elon
Musk. Yeah.
What would he do now?
Oh, I fired 400 People from Space X without paying proper
wages.
Oh, that would make sense. Uh huh.
But no annual annual reviews. These were being people who were
not pulling their weight.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right. So what do you have to do? Yeah, to
fire him.
Yeah, well, this is this is how this is how goes, you watch. But
yeah, it's still Oh no, he's just he wants the best people
working at this SpaceX, we just get rid of everybody else. How
easy they are
to fall for it. Yeah. Well, that's an old trick.
Still no word on the on the database glitch. No database.
Yeah. Yeah. American visa system. What is rather
disturbing is that the UK Government is also experiencing
backlogs about 30 Russians 30,000 applications, the
Russians. Well, Home Secretary Theresa May deny there was a
crisis even though it is an unprecedented demand for
passports. But now people are having seeing their their
vacations are being a falling in the water, as they say. Because
people are not getting their visas to travel. If you say the
Russians, I don't know.
It'd be the Russians or could be somebody shaken down the
airlines.
The coincidence of this happening with the of a glitch
happening with the US visa system and this huge backlog,
unexplained backlog. In the UK is
maybe they're using the same software, possibly from from
Oregon. So what I would look into if I was a tech reporter.
Oh, please. Getting in close the tech news.
Okay. Here we go. And that's it for tech news. No.
Okay. So I ran into an interesting, we talked about
books there a little while ago. So there, you know, there's at
least I have a thesis that then you agree with that, I think a
little bit, which is that they're doing everything they
can to vague and mean Hillary? Oh, yesterday, of course in
advance of her running to get her not to run and maybe she's
even in on this deal. So she can I don't know what what happens.
All the money that's collected by all these Hillary operations?
Not sure.
Well, there's we had the the social media talkers on the
previous episode, which are getting paid.
Yeah, somebody's getting paid. So there's a new book, a secret
service book, you're familiar with this, we didn't talk about
it, which is, was the new book and it's called the guarding,
guarding the family or something like
that. We have heard from Secret Service personnel and people
related to the service that the Secret Service despises Hillary
loves bill.
So this guy wrote a tell all with and he's being interviewed
here, and in the book, they say exactly what you just said.
Okay, I'm sorry, clip.
Now, when you write about individual presidents, are you a
conservative or a liberal? Do you have a political
I have I lean to the conservative side, but the book
is totally nonpartisan. It reveals on the one hand that
Hillary Clinton is so nasty to her agents, that being assigned
to her detail is considered a form of punishment. But on the
other hand, the book says that Barack Obama and Michelle are
very respectful of agents treat them with consideration. The
book reveals negative material about everyone, every Republican
from Spiro Agnew to Jenna Bush to but most
of the agents did not go on the record. A few of them did. But
no,
about two thirds of the book is on the record. No, no. The
agents themselves, they're there.
Now, they can't talk to you because since 2012, that to sign
nondisclosure,
they still talk to me. And the reason they have to sign that is
because I broke the story about the prostitution scandal. But
even before that, of course, they weren't supposed to, you
know, if Hillary
Clinton were here, she would say, you know, you're full of
baloney. I didn't give us any secret service agent. And she
could probably come up with four or five that would probably say,
this is on the record. There are a number of quotes on the record
from former agents who were on her detail, who described this,
this nastiness, she wouldn't. She would blow up with them. She
wouldn't talk to them. And yet she claims to be a champion of
little people. She She says she's going to hell you believe
that? Oh, there's no question. Yeah.
But But Bill Clinton, he wasn't bad to that. Right.
Bill Clinton was much more respectful and treated them
well.
Was there a reason that Mrs. Clinton didn't?
I think it goes back to her character. You know, it shows an
arrogance and imperiousness, an unstable personality. When he
feel you have to put down other people who are less powerful
than you. I think it's very important. And when we choose a
president, President, we need to consider that thing. But just as
I'm a little
it's interesting. I had a I had to go ahead.
I'm sorry. The first of the first family details Secret
Service agents reveal the hidden lives of the President just came
out in August 5 by Ronald Kessler. He also did a book in
2010, which was in the President's Secret Service
behind the scenes with agents in the line of fire. So I don't
know if this has a lot of the same material or not, but this
one definitely goes after Hillary.
Well, I have another book and this is a clip for Um, that I
had for show 640 We just didn't get to it. This is by Katie
Pavlich. And she is a reporter. I would say she's probably a
conservative reporter. This is from C span three from the book,
a book show, what does it book show?
What does it call a book go school?
I think it's called book show. And this is a salt and flattery.
And this is when you hear her take on Hillary and, and the
what is the word I'm looking for?
And this game on July 8, so this is pretty close to the Yes, yes.
It's all completely time this the hypocrisy of Hillary being
this staunch supporter of women and women's rights. I thought
this was interesting just didn't come up and well now we have
some time to play
time and time again. Instead of holding her husband accountable.
She defamed his female accusers as mentally unstable loons
looking for money. And Clinton repeatedly allowed women to be
lied about smeared and manipulated, so that her
philandering husband could hold on to power which eventually led
to her own position as a senator from New York, or presidential
candidate, and President Obama's Secretary of State. But speaking
of her record at the State Department, what exactly did she
do during her tenure there?
Yes, yes,
the pattern of behavior continues. She ignored alleged
rampant sexual abuse of minor girls by high ranking State
Department employees. And under her watch US Ambassador to
Belgium, Howard Goodman was accused of routinely ditching
his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual
favors from both prostitutes and minor children in a nearby park.
According to an internal memo, written by a Chief Inspector
General investigator, a State Department's security official
stationed in Beirut was accused of engaging in multiple sexual
assaults. And further a US embassy official was removed for
allegedly trading visas for sexual favors.
Shut down the database.
She looks to me. She's a blogger of the year at CPAC. 2013. She's
26. She looks like she's well connected. She's a conservative
journalist as it were. Yeah. She I think is being fed stuff. This
is This is material that a 26 year old does not
come up with. No, you want to hear more? A little more. Yeah,
yeah.
Definitely interesting.
As ABC, CBS News first reported last year, at least seven of
Hillary Clinton's security agents.
Ah, interesting. We have the book about the security guys,
okay. Routinely
hired prostitutes on official trips overseas. This is
a great gig. This security detail, bam, this is a good gig.
This sounds like a lot of fun.
Yeah, this bad behavior was described as endemic by
whistleblowers and Devin, although the agents were
eventually reassigned, they weren't seriously punished. And
when investigations were launched into misconduct, they
were immediately shut down by Hillary Clinton's Chief of
Staff.
This is I have to say is probably the endemic partisan.
It's the secret service in general. Obama's guys were
arrested and sent back from South America from the
Netherlands. It's just it's just the Jonatha job
part of the jobs part of the job to take that job to travel
around and forth.
Yeah, made the pain up may not be great, but I think are the
benefits.
And the female whistleblowers who brought all of this to their
attention, who spoke out against and exposed what was going on
inside the State Department. They were retaliated against for
doing so. Whistleblower Kerry Howard was run out of the
Foreign Service and stripped of her job and was bullied for
exposing us counsel General Donald wore when he allegedly
engaged in sexual activities with women inside his government
office. And with call girls in Naples.
I would like that on my tombstone. Call girls in Naples.
Maybe that's the title of the show. Call girls in Naples.
Here's the reason we're about this woman, conservative Jared
primary known for work in the online news magazine
townhall.com as well for authoring the book besides this
book she just did. She had another book, Fast and Furious.
Barack Obama's bloodiest scandal and it's shameless cover up that
she is provided. You know, this sounds like something that
somebody else wrote a National Review Washington Fellow,
whatever that means. She's appeared numerous times as a
television commentator at the age of well at the ripe old age
of 26. Notably in the Fox News Channel program, the five which
is a horrible show.
I was she on that show?
Good character. She's one of the cheat codes. She's coming. She's
one of the she's on the rotation Stringer, and self described
daughter of the American Revolution. She was raised in
the mountainous areas of northern Arizona, developed an
interest in river rafting, hunting and love of outdoors
from her Father.
Well, excellent. So
we've been hearing a lot from her from the way it looks to me.
Yeah. She's cute though. She's got everything you want. She's,
she needs media friendly, but she's, she needs to learn not to
sneer and and you know, and kind of this, this condescending
fool. You gotta be a little more factual, a little more a little
more journalistic at journalists journalistic ask,
yes, you have to look a little more, you have to do it more
straight, as it were 10 more seconds.
So this is just a snapshot of Clinton's legacy of defending
rapists and sexual predators. She's done it for decades, and
yet somehow has been portrayed as a women's rights champion.
Somehow, somehow, well, okay. But there's a reason I didn't
play the clip is because it's April was a big hit
piece, but they're out to get her. Yeah. And I just, you know,
you got to do what you got to do. Do you want to keep her out
of the running? I,
I look at Hillary and I'm saying I'm be tired. Give it to the
Warren bitch. Good. Let her go. That's me. That's Hillary
speaking. Not me.
That's Hillary looks tired. And Warren doesn't. And I think
that's going to be the difference maker. But then all
these girls that are girls, I'm using the word girls that are a
big Hillary fans, you know, the ones that we heard on that last
week or last show? Did these raw they're just all in on Hillary?
They're gonna be so bummed by the way, things are gonna turn
out.
If it's Hillary, but if it's Warren, it doesn't matter who
didn't know this more than just, you know, the everyone talks a
big game, but they want a woman. Yeah, no, they want Hillary.
Yes, very good point.
I'm going to show us move by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
All right. Well, you have some people to thank for the show.
And I'm just gonna take a little longer than usual because
there's a couple of really interesting notes within this
group. Okay, we normally don't read the notes from $50 to two
letters, just to keep them showing any of them right but
when they're really really interesting, we'll stop Stop the
presses and read the note by also if it's a famous night
Baron Chaffee snakes Oh, there you go. Baron. Pay does pay the

break at the Windy City and he's gonna need a give to make a list
of all his render them all once at the end. He's gonna want to
Boom shaka laka del gy. Oh, mg amazing as interesting. All
right. John Knowles in Murfreesboro, Murfreesboro, you
know, I that's a very famous town. That was a civil war,
important to the Civil War and I don't know how to pronounce it.
Murfreesboro? I don't know. Well, $111.11 Burton Rosenberger
in Woodbridge, Virginia 107 52. And he has an interesting reason
for this particular donation I want to read of donating a slave
script in the amount of 107 52 so I can get some Putin karmic
put Putin on there. He actually wants a Putin medley and give
them that maybe at the end Hooton. medley. Yeah, the Putin
a little girl, Luna Putin and a little boy pooping.
Oh, man. Okay.
And original Putin. He says Putin was born on October
7 1952. Hence, the new suggested donation amount of 107 52.
Ha. Okay. Interesting concept for sure.
Dan, good, solid cardif $100. And he actually has a note I did
want to read. It's been, it's long. It's been much overdue
donation for the simple fact that other news outlets
encourage their listeners know other news outlets encourage
their listeners to do their own investigation like you guys do.
Today. Plans are announced for the upcoming NATO summit to be
held in Wales.
Oh, yeah. They're like they're, I think they have
decided to build 11 foot metal fences. Yes.
For the freedom, freedom, freedom of speech zone. I
believe,
as all the talking heads seem to put it to keeping the world
leaders safe. He says It's perplexing and how Look at It's
perplexing how understanding the rest of whales are okay with
this. We are now literally slaves behind a metal 11 foot
fence.
What's your problem citizen
says you're not a neocon world leader then shit us and get
behind your fence. Below are the links he's got a bunch of links
for us which I think is very humorous if you think about it,
absolutely. It's just nobody's pitch they see they're pissed
off by the homeless spikes outside of banks and shops but
nobody seems to be pissed off by the 11 foot fence. The UK is
becoming nothing but a zombie state all people care about is
who killed who in East Enders also random I'm sorry yeah, also
the Adam the sound quality of the podcast has always been
rather good but over the past year it's improved a
considerable amount Thank you. When you two are on the road and
not in your normal setup the quality stays the same.

three people that we get a special call out and they get
listed on the show notes
so you don't know who you don't know who they are right now.
I have to go look in the thing I can find out real quick
but I have a medley to play that will it be enough time for you
to go and check it out? medley I have a whole series of special
things to do here for the karma
you do. Yeah. So What day was it that was the ninth Yeah, go
ahead play the melody I'll get it I'll
have two words for you thing go boom check that is
right Wow that was a lot I'm almost there you know, there's
not a lot of stuff that happens on the weekend so there's no
reason why it takes this long
you made such a big deal about the contest and everyone likes
it yeah
yeah I'm gonna do it I'm
gonna I've got it right here is right here a rules and
regulations my friend you can just you know, have Okay,
here are the three winners. No a Brasil. Rob C Loc, and then a
tie with Eric Asbury and Harry Henry Bigland. A tie. Yeah, so
we have four.
Nice,
airy Bigland Eric Astbury, Rob C Locke and Noah Brattle. Very
good. They came in right after the newsletter went out and it
was all essentially within a minute after that. So it just
had the average click on the drop. Skill I want to make that
clear as a game of skill.
Yes, it is a game of skilled no purchase necessary Void where
prohibited by law. Please help us out for the Thursday show as
we continue the best deconstruction with the best

wait.
Let me finish the call out so people have 50 bucks and so on.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
That's okay. But we need to hear that twice. Okay, we got James
Green. The second $56.78 from Mesquite, Texas grabbed were
parts where you are and he has all birthday. But he's got a
birthday. So there's Paula Peters over in Avon,
Connecticut.
Oh, by the way, his wife or his wife is a public school teacher
her room numbers 33. James Green. Yeah, very good. And Paul
Peters has his birthday for Paula. Apparently. Donation name
Paula Peters
is also her birthday. Oh two so he the husband looks like he
sent it in a guess. Yeah. Jeffrey Maxwell certified double
nickels on the dime, Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania Brian
Guilbeau double nickels on the dime and Brian is a mess. You
mentioned how to pronounce his name. He's the guy who drove me
around or we went around together. I think I was driving
around Detroit taking pictures of the ruins. And he asked here
if I took any good pictures. Yes, I took a lot of good
pictures. The problem with taking pictures in Detroit of
all the ruins? Is that you miss context.
Oh, it's like taking a picture of the Grand Canyon. Yeah,
yeah. Yeah, you missed context. Course you did. I'm telling
everybody out there. Me to look at Brian. But I can I'm telling
you got to go to Detroit. It's just something you have to see.
It's just like, wow, Keith, there's other thing going on.
I'm gonna do aside here. But Detroit was talking to me about
this. It was like, you know, people are looking for
investments, real estate investments. And there was there
was well, they came up with all this maybe Detroit's a good
place to invest because the hipsters are moved in. In fact,
Brian and I are in some hipster areas pointing out the hipster
restaurants, all the rest of it. And hipsters look like they're
gonna take over Detroit eventually, but and you think
well, maybe Detroit's a good investment. You could buy a
cheap house there or whatever. But when you realize when you go
to the look at the Packard plant, and I took a movie which
I'll post of driving around is mile long facility. It's like a
mile by a mile. It's like a town in size. It's a monstrous thing.
And you drive around this just ruined plant. It's just a
desolation. It's still standing there. Just a mess with note of
you know, Windows unbroken. It's been there since 1958. Yeah,
it's
been that way forever. Yeah.
So how long is this gonna, you know, this is this is not a good
sign for an investment. I'm just going to tell throw that out
there. Anyway, go onward. Keith Van Dyck and oh in South

That concludes our donors segment for show 642 want to
thank everybody the workout org slash Na is a good place to go.
It is indeed Thank you, we really really really appreciate
it. It allows us to do what we do. And part of that includes
watching endless hours of of the real elite conferences where
people are really discussing the agenda who have the real power,
not standing out, you know, bull horns outside
during the bull or drinking club on the front of the Bilderberg
drinking club. Yeah, I can do those bringing the Liffey
Rothschild bringing the Rothschild new world
that um, I know there's that there's an order and I know they
want it, but the people who you're being presented with are
not necessarily people actually making things that happen. And
we track the ones that do and and also we have time to and
really it is the time it truly is that the top we have a guy
who works at a studio on East Coast, I think the East I think
it's east coast. And he's sent us a little email thread between
the three of us actually a three threesome thread. And it's about
some of these MSNBC guys and like Al Sharpton and then how
they are with the crew and how they are as people and he sent
me a follow up that really these especially in MSNBC, they really
have no staff. They really have no one doing any work other than
looking what other news outlets are doing and then commenting on
that. You know, it's it's kind of sad.
Yeah. And people like I don't know why MSNBC is just so bad.
At least we have we haven't timed I have the time because of
the nature of the show. I dedicated myself fully to
understanding what is going on in in an air bill, which CNN is
spelling with an eye
eaters a bunch of alternative
real Ebro with an eye but I
think there was actually about seven spellings for that town.
Let me get it let me look it up. I just had just had it up but I
closed it. It's also written as Arbil, a RBI L or Erbil with an
eye ma also known as Cuellar, Adler, by the Assyrians, Bell, R
B, E, L by the Turks. So it has a number of curacy Hubler is the
Turkish is the Kurdish one. What's interesting, so whatever.
I don't know why everyone gerbil is what is the first one it's
the one you should use? I think
all right now I'd like to do the birthdays and we have we
actually have a knighting today and we have a nice Yeah, finally

Oh, really? I didn't even know Catch this. Yeah, yeah, there's
a lot going on. And the ECB, the European Central Bank, always a
lot going on and is about to Well, we've tracked the this the
single, what do they call it the single Stability Mechanism, the
emergency Stability Mechanism that it's keep changing. It
keeps changing name names. Now the European Central Bank is
preparing for their own version of quantitative easing. And this
comes on the heels of Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo needs to be
bailed out for a little bit more than everyone expected. Oops.
Yeah. No, the Portuguese played it well, very well. But this is
to modernize their country during this process. Well, yeah,
we pointed out in the show before it because you went to
Portugal before they modernized. Oh, it was third world country.
And I went when it was modernized. And it was like I'm
telling you these days, I was a dirt road and it's like a six
lane freeway out to the wine country
and to the airport that no one uses. There you
go. Hmm. Well, I think the isn't that airport in Spain. Yeah.
Well, there's that I'm sorry. Yeah, the
airport that would that no one uses. I think the Portuguese did
a better job of gouging the EU than the Spanish did. But they
both did. Okay, but there's
all kinds of problems. But this is quantitative easing at the
European Central Bank accelerating plans to unleash
fresh growth boosting measures. That's how I like to look at it,
honey. It's just a growth boosting measure. Don't worry
about it like it. The euro zone's recovery loses steam risk
is risk increases of a geopolitical shock from the
Ukraine crisis. This is indeed a problem. And the Dutch are
feeling it to very they're feeling it. Let's put it that
way. The let's see, what do you have Dutch growers feel byte of
sanctions against Russia? Now this is this is I think, really
a cover up story. Bell peppers, tomatoes, please. They're
they're going to run into trouble with the banking and
with their, their, their system of past I
think your thesis on this is completely on the money, it
makes this only thing that makes sense. But they've usually re
explained it to listeners who missed
it. Okay. The Dutch economy is so huge, because of two main
pieces of business, which is involves all of the the
political infrastructure, because revolving doors, you
can't even the revolving doors are so huge that they look like
buildings themselves, between politics and the banking
industry, the accountancy industry, the legal industry,
where it is very advantageous to have any type of business that
has intellectual property is not taxed in the Netherlands. That
is a rule. This is why you also see you too, and then the
Rolling Stones and all the big bands at royalties are not
taxed. But there's also no withholding tax. So you can have
a holding company, you can route your money through there, and
it's very, very advantageous. And essentially, you wind up
paying you want to bang Value Added to this. So 18% may be
19%, but it's nothing like it is in other places, and income tax.
In addition, the legal system in the Netherlands is very, very
susceptible to let's call it corruption and bribery. There
are no juries, no, no, you have professional judges. And then if
and they come from the same law firms who may be handling your
post box, your PO Box Company, and they will make rulings
advantageous to you like the eukhost case, in arbitration,
where the judges on this arbitration board decided there
should be $50 billion handed out to the owners and of course now
where they're screwing with Russia, and that there's money
that's all over and all the banks, it's a free for all. And
then there's the energy where the gas is stored in the
northern part of the Netherlands in the husk unis. The formerly
where the Dutch pulled the gas out of the ground. Now they're
storing Russian gas in there. And the Port of Rotterdam is all
in a deepwater port. Oil comes down, is loaded onto other
tankers and then shipped off to other countries, including
China. And the Dutch government owns half of all of this
industry. And they marginally make a profit on it. Sometimes
last but all the companies Yeah, they're
partners with Russia. Yes, there
they are. They are. Well, the king of Holland. Just bought a
house in Greece next to Putin. The prime minister, everyone's
drinking with Putin, the king and the queen. And where is
he? Does he ever open the window and then yell something out the
window? Yeah.
Right on cue, John. Good one. I like it. So yes, so now we have
some issues, essentially, sorry, the way it works with these
negative interest rates, if a bank wants to store money with
the Central European Central Bank, they have to pay for the
privilege. How does this work? And will this eventually affect
people who just have savings in the bank? Or how does the how
does this trickle down?
You know, this is very strange. I've known about the theory
about negative interest. But what it says is that if you're a
disowning would take place in a very strong deflationary
environment, which is a possibility is existent as we
speak, which means cash, you know, is becomes if you have
$10,000 I think it's also related to the bond market
somehow, instead of picking up these bonds that we're talking
about that were given to negative interest rates, federal
German Federal bonds, something like that. Yeah, whatever the
case if you invested $10,000 in a negative interest rate,
whatever the number is, you would expect to get back 9900
and dollars that say that doesn't sound like a good deal.
It does if you're if the cat it does under some circumstance
where you're protecting your money against losing all of it.
It's it's in a deflation do it seems to me that the problem is
is you have real property should go down in value. I think that
the store should be cheaper, and so the dollar becomes more
valuable than the than the loss of the negative. In other words,
it's it's a good deal to maintain the money at that rate.
Whereas unfortunate, I think cash would probably be even
better just to keep a bunch of stuff in the mattress. And I
this something I'm always thinking about, and I'm always
trying to figure out well, how an economy had worked that way.
And I've never come up with anything that makes me
comfortable. Well, I have no idea. And I know that is not to
be it's not desirable.
Okay, good. We agree on that. A sticking in your old land for a
moment this came out to over the weekend. This is about the war
on cash. We know the Netherlands has been a fantastic beta site
for essentially, fuck. Try not to use the word essentially, for
no, and I'm not catching you either. But you're catching your
show myself.
It's bad because it's the Tourette.
So yes. Okay, you're on the road to recovery on the road to
recovery.
We know that there are many stores there's a there's a
really they just don't take cash anymore. They have signs in the
window, no cash pain only, which is there a very specific system,
you cannot not even use a credit card.
I find this very disturbing. Well,
we're all we're all on the way to the pin system here. In the
US, certainly the smart card is coming. And the smart card is
what it's all about. And we've been tracking the Oyster card in
the UK, which is the same being used in the in the Netherlands.
And it's really is rolling out all over all over Europe. But
now a very, very bad precedent, I believe, as the first train
station in Verdun, that's in Utrecht became the first railway
station to close off its platforms to non smart card
holders. So from now on, you cannot even get onto the train
platform, which is how you you pay for your trip with your
smart card. You cannot you cannot even get onto the
platform unless you have a smart card. Now there will be a waiver
of I think 30 minutes you can your your system will let you in
the system will let you in if you're going to wave someone
off, but you still have to use your smart card so you cannot
pay with cash. But you cannot even access the plug the train
station without your smart card.
What if I'm an American tourist? American Yankee go home?
American tourists piss drop a lot of dough.
American Yankee go home.
No, seriously, what if an American tourist
the AD This is not in the article. Eventually the Dutch
train system plans to close off at two stations completely. And
is testing this at 26 stations this year. It's called forcing
people into the system and forcing them out of using cash.
How does this work for a tourist?
We don't care. Take a cab you can buy I'm sure you can you can
buy the pass. I'm sure hotels will help you by this. This is
what it was like in Tokyo day mastered had cards for us to use
which was very kind of her. But it look if you're a tourist and
you're showing up you don't know about this with your dumb
tourist. Which would mean you're probably from America.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. You're missing the point. I got
you.
I got you Johnny.
Yeah. Well, I can't help you on that is what this is what it is.
But you
got to find out I can't take it any but beyond
this. Please don't people are just not not seeing that cash is
being removed from the system.
We're seeing it. Yeah, we don't like it. We're not people. Thank
God for the Chinese. They won't put up with this crap. Well,
they love the cash. They love the cash economy. Really? And
there's lots of them
yeah, I've been looking at that. The new new canal is being built
and we have the the guy in was it to Costa Rica with the
Chinese. We're going to build a new Panama Canal. Now it's in
Nicaragua, Nicaragua. Thank you. Now Egypt has has announced a
new initiative. It's been compared
to Army strongman president Gamal Abdel Nasser, who
nationalized the first Suez Canal. Now Egypt's current
president has launched the digging of a second new channel.
The military run project is a major step by Abdel Fattah El
Sisi to stimulate his country's struggling economy. Its
construction will cost $8.4 billion and is scheduled to take
three years. Al Sisi has ordered it to be completed in one the
new passage will run in parallel to the orig You know, 145 year
old historic Suez Canal, which is still the fastest shipping
route between Europe and Asia. The canal today earns Egypt
about $5 billion a year, and is a vital source of hard currency
for a country that suffered a slump in tourism and foreign
investments. Since the 2011. Uprising, the project will
reduce maximum waiting hours for ships to three hours from 11 and
allow for 49 vessels to cross at the same time compared with 49
per day as now,
I like this, this particular news report, mainly because it
seems rather cheap, a billion dollars to build a second Suez
Canal seems to be kind of done. I don't know if it's just me
that doesn't feel like a lot of money.
Well, it's probably another one of those construction projects
that were they have cheaper labor. But it sounds like a
construction project that they're going to start at a
billion, they're going to run it up to 16 or 20.
So let's say it's a it's pretty common. Let's say it's 80
billion. Can we all imagine? Can we what can we all imagine? $80
billion, just for a moment. Okay. All right. And then listen
to this
say today's as a federal website aimed at tracking government
money can't find $619 billion USA spending.gov looked at data
from 2012. It says agencies spending records don't match
their budgets. Here are some examples. The Health and Human
Services Department failed to report $544 billion Veterans
Affairs had a $64 billion dollar shortfall. And the interior
budget gap came in at $5 billion. That's a lot of money
that just go missing.
It's not a rounding error. It's not a rounding error.
Meanwhile, golf is canceled. A bit No one gives no cares. Just
the vastness of $600 billion.
They don't want to, you know, they don't have no bookkeepers
anymore. But um, we still do. business right now is working
for the government. It's always been the business to be in to
great business.
Do you wanna you want a billing code with the government? That's
all you want? That's all you want. Okay. It would be nice. If
people rose up and said, Hey, I've had enough of this. Yeah, I
know. I know. I know. It's never gonna happen.
There was an interesting report, apparently, economist did a
thing on hookers on Obama, besides the hookers. And they
had they had an interview with him. And they were talking
about, you know, what, what Obama is good at not good at and
one of the things is apparently he doesn't understand business
in the least he has no clue. He's never been in a business.
He's only been a community organizer, government,
essentially, or NGO. But I thought this was kind of an
interesting this was an interview with the guy who wrote
the article did the interview with Obama, and this is the
economist is because there's a name they drop in there, which I
just thought was interesting.
I think the bit where the sort of passion comes at most is on
that issue of business, he comes back quite hard and tries to
make the case that corporate leaders should love him, you
know, he's produced a wonderful economy for them. And he still
doesn't get why they don't entirely like him, I think,
why did you produce that question for him in terms of
that perhaps he doesn't get what it is about him that they don't
like?
Well, there's a particular exchange where he cites
examples, several companies just just that all their main
priority is just to serve shareholders. And I point out
that that's exactly what Chief Executives complain about, when
they come to the White House, they think they run into a White
House, which doesn't realize that the modern chief executive
is somebody who has to look over a great many things, monitoring
executive spend half their time doing socially responsible
things. It's a vaster point of what they have to do they get
involved in things to do with workers with dealing with
different stakeholders, all those sort of things. And one of
the things they get frustrated about with the Obama White
House, they usually mentioned Valerie Jarrett very quickly, is
that they're always seen as people who are just trying to
make a quick buck.
Yeah, you mean the real president?
Yeah, and you can just see her when you look at her she doesn't
know anything about business. She's never run a business
probably never worked for one true. She's a slumlord. She has
a well that's yeah, okay, she's a slumlord. That's the kind of
business she runs, which is really a passive business
because you don't do anything you just let things deteriorate
and collect money. And so she's projecting that she you know,
that says all in good wants to do is make a quick buck because
that's what she does. Yes,
exactly. You accuse those of what you are guilty of yourself,
but your sense of being yourself when you do the health remember
that one?
Yeah, you say it all the time. And I love it. I like it. I'd
like to be able to say it myself. I just can't say it. I'd
hate it embed sounds like you're coughing actually, when you say
that.
Are you coming to my birthday party?
I'm thinking about it. I'm sure Mickey invited you. I don't know
that she'd Did you please
Oh, please. You did not get an invite that can't they
may have I don't know.
She's throwing the secret thing for me. In Amsterdam.
Yeah, I know a secret big surprise party. Yeah. So why are
we going to Amsterdam, honey? Oh, just a shop and we'll do
some shopping,
shopping. That would be no shopping. No,
just some shopping kept some underwear. And no.
Yes, it'd be my 50th I
never really I never celebrate, but my 50th will be a big one.
I'm very excited about it. Everyone's gonna be there. Who's
everyone?
Everybody has Grand Duke Vaughn Pels. mocker is going to be
there.
Oh, that's a very good question.
He should invite him she should have you too. He will be and
also Vanderhorst while we're at it, because others
slow down slow down slow down. There's a per head cost on this
thing.
Well, let me get some more than know what I mean a per head
costs dinners
like dinner and entertain sit down dinner. Yes. Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's no good. Yeah, it is. I like
what it means no, good.
It's expensive. I read a good cocktail party. And then a song.
Happy Birthday song in a cake. You're good to go.
It's my 50th birthday, John. I want speeches. I want presidents
I want strippers. I want all I want hookers and blow I want the
whole this is my 50th I'm only going to do this once. I want
people could do it a couple of times. I want slideshows. I want
PowerPoint presentations. I want people to making up songs and
singing them. I want celebrities dropping by. And here's Mick
Jagger
here and good luck
here to wish him happy birthday. Marky Mark and the Funky Bong.
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Yeah. Well, you know, you might be able to pull down a few
celebrities. Oh, yeah.
I already know there's going to be some Dutch celebrities. Well,
hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey.
I'm talking about international celebrities that reminisce in
the good old days you knew them all? Yeah, no one cares. Yeah,
well, it's what happens is the way it works in Hollywood.
That's
exactly right. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with my podcast.
Best podcast in the universe is true.
Just to finalize cuz I'm I think I'm kind of I think I'm out.
Unless you have something. Grand Greenwell don't wrath. Is being
really coy about this second, I think it's bogus it by the way
about this site, and
I'm in total agreement. I think this is bullcrap.
Yeah, he's pretending like he Oh, I can't talk about anything.
There's a second Snowden. Right, because he can't comment on that
CNN claim. He's out of the loop. Regardless, he's not in any
loop. But what I did find interesting, Snowden made his
first public appearance at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre,
without his glasses. Uh huh. Yeah, the broken ones that he
always wears when he does interviews. And his visa
apparently has been extended for three more years.
Yeah. Which is another reason to get Putin. Yes, still sticking
with that thesis. You're gonna go after it. But no one ever
mentions this either. And these, you know, the Aspen Institute.
Nobody, they don't even bring up Snowden. At least the things
I've seen so far,
it seems to be pretty much over really, hey, we didn't do much
about Ebola. today. It's still out there. I'm kind of still
looking at it from my economic hitman perspective. And who's
going to be next what what unfortunate country will get
Ebola next? Well, we
already think India is the target. India may be the
ultimate target. But let
me give you some numbers. The United States now supporting
Nigeria's 2015 elections with $51 billion.
What Yeah, we can build a Suez Canal for less money than that
three
of them. This is from the fact sheet from the White House, that
the US will be working with a donors to support Nigeria's
electoral electoral management bodies and strengthen the
ability of the country's civil society to promote electoral
reforms. regime change. Hey, good luck, Jonathan. Good luck.
His wife's name is patients, Jonathan.
Patient patients. They don't play their cards right. She is
going to be patient zero, if you
will, yes. We will be spending this from the fact sheet $550
million on our African rapid response forces. And
we've been basically kicked out of Africa Dell, you should watch
All those things. I mean, we play a big game carry had the,
you know, the big sessions and all the rest of it you start to
hearing the other reports and it's like, they don't want us.
We have to drop 50 billion.
Well, it's it's going
to be more than buying our way back.
Well, listen, listen, there's more. We have Europe, the EU is
launching an 845 million euro Pan African initiative. So
they're limping along with us. But it's the what is the
Infrastructure Protection disasters resilience. This is
the the Rockefeller Foundation has announced a $100 million
global resilience Partnership Fund for Africa. So there's big
money and we're you know, this is round robin stuff. It's
classic economic hitman. But here's where I would be careful
I would say candidates for Ebola Mozambique and the reason why we
have Texas based Anadarko and Italian partner ENI ENI making
the final investment decision on whether to construct one of the
largest liquefied natural gas facilities in the world in
Mozambique. Also on Deck I would say Tanzania now this is all in
the East so if this comes true, then we'll know that the game
what the game really is. Because right now it's all in the West.
It's all on the the Ivory Coast. And of course now Nigeria is
it's moving now mid country to Nigeria.
Did you read the article about how they've now tracked it down
to a two year old?
Uh Hold on a second. Bullshit this the thing about this the
way I understand it in 1970 was at six when the first Ebola was
first discovered. I
think it was 76
it developed in the
jungle with a with a with no natives and villagers out there
in the in the wild. And then it moves slowly towards the city.
This is started in the city, which is exactly the opposite
way. Except that you're we found patient zero some two year old
in a village to make it sound right I guess and then that that
two year old just jumped because only you can transfer it only
with bodily fluids. It jumped out of this two year old into
the city.
Do I know when first of the grandma and sister and the whole
family apparently got it? And I guess one of them staggered into
the city and set it off. But how the two year old god is still
mystery to my mind from the bats?
Of course. Yeah.
By a bat. Yeah. All right.
So it just seems Nigeria. There it is Nigeria, your we have that
huge oil. Fine from two years ago, we have the hundreds of
billions of dollars that were stolen. We moved our accountants
in you'll recall when we went looking for our for our girls
who we don't care about anymore. Screw the girls. Don't bring
back our girls anymore. Everyone's Twitter icon has
changed back. Bring Back Our Girls. We sent accountants over
to bring back our girls. Oh, yeah. And take a look at the
accounts of where the hundreds of billions of dollars went. And
now we have full time force in there. As we brought Goodluck
Jonathan over and his and his wife with the big floppy hat.
And we said well, you know, 250 $1 billion. We're going to
do a lot of work to I presume to reelect him. I can't I can't I
can't imagine anyone else I can't imagine.
Now there'd be some stupid where's the normal outfit? This
guy's a clown.
We kind of like that. Look at cars. I wouldn't know the guy
with the the goat fetus, skin hat or sheep.
We liked him at all. I think that was just a bad choice. That
didn't work out. Now. His brother
ran the drugs and had to end his other brother had the
restaurants and there was something about that he was in
the elite circles for the reasons for it. Okay, no click
to play us out. You got nothing.
Well, I think we can play some which has a little thematic
thing going on. I'd like to chokehold story and democracy
now which has the funny punch line.
Eric Garner died when a New York police officer placed him in a
chokehold after he was confronted for selling single
cigarettes known as Lucy's over the weekend. The police arrested
the man who videotaped Garner's death on his cell phone will
speak to two mothers whose sons were killed by New York police
and look at the crackdown on citizens filming incidents of
police brutality.
Yeah, that's pretty cool. Okay, who's
the guy took the movie they a find him and arrest them and
and they I think they arrested his girlfriend to or his wife
get her to
get them all in jail. No filming a cops beat and pee. Pull up a
killing him. Oh, well there's a two day show slave training that
was too long. We can play some other time. This is Obama and
his weekly. I'm sorry, I didn't have this clip where he talks
about the killing Yeah, Obama backs you up on what's going on
in the bad part of town in Iraq and then the E cigarettes PR Oh,
so I'm in the area and it's all legal now all the pots legal. So
I'm going to talk about that on the next show. Because there's
these pot stores all over the place with it looks like the
line to the Star Wars movie. Oh, really? Yeah. Hours an hour long
lines because the I can't get into one of these look and look
over and see what's going on where you can just don't want to
stand in line that long. Exactly. And they were they only
stay open for about an hour. And most people in line don't even
get in because they sell out. Why are they only open for an
hour? Because they sell out? Oh, all the pots gone.
People grow it learn how to grow your own, please.
Now there's limitations on that. Anyways, we'll talk about that
in the next show.
Okay, yeah, there is more about the E cigarettes than now
exploding everywhere. This is the new PR.
Yeah, well, this Yeah. Perfect. It's always something that you
gotta love it.
They're doing their best. Okay, well, I'm sure there'll be lots
of stuff to look at. We'll follow Iraq. And whatever else
is happening. There's not a lot happening because everyone's on
vacation. That's that's when the fun stuff does get slipped in.
Yeah, there'll be something decided to try to slip one bias
slip one bias. Yeah, no, I
was gonna say I'm, I'm gonna see if I can do a little CW work
today. conditions seem to be doing better better on the
band's
I forgot my rig. Emmett wants you
