Let's just start booing and throwing paper balls at him.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
and Sunday January
4 2015. time you get one nation media assassination episode 684
This
is no agenda still shaking
my head and those frightened ducks live from FEMA Region six
in the capital drone Star State Austin Tejas in morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where we actually don't call
them the fighting ducks. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Raglan Buzzkill.
Everybody has to know that it only happens a couple of times a
year. And John will say, you know, this is an important
football game. Then Then I'll watch it.
Did you enjoy it? You know what? I did?
I did enjoy it. You know,
I always love I love a lopsided slaughter.
I have no,
I think that's the American way.
I have no dog in that hunt. But it was fascinating. Yeah, of
course. I like football. I understand how the game works.
And if it's an important game, and I could get behind somebody
and root for him
you know, I saw the thing on the back of the the Oregon Ducks
we're talking about
for people out there. Yeah. Against the Seminoles. Hmm.
Yes. Yeah, the Oregon Ducks never wear the same uniform.
Oh, I didn't know this. That green is not their thing. Well,
that's their
color, but they'll have a completely different uniform
next time. Because Phil, whatever his name is, who runs
Nike? Yeah, Phil Knight. Phil Knight is a huge he's an Oregon
alumni and he buys the uniforms for the team. And every game is
a different uniform,
because they're hurting so bad already in college football,
there's just no money in it. Yeah, seven and a half billion
dollars a year or whatever.
So so every so you look at a uniform, some of them would have
been extremely weird.
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta give you some feedback on the game.
Okay. All right. First of all, I really love all the this is I
look at it from a television production standpoint, then, you
know, you have cameras flying on wires over everything you've
got, there must be at least 10 Instant replay teams setting
stuff up and saying hey, we're their own director and producer
it's so obvious how how much is put into this? No Yeah. And then
you have the uniforms. I mean, this is these uniforms. It's
like gladiators and these guys look good slick. This is it's
it's everything is put together so well right down to the what
is it the Hershey's fan corner or whatever bullcrap sponsor
that thing. So to make sure you don't have some loser, you have
actors you know? They've hired the extras and they put them in
this box and and then they know what to do and there's a
producer standing next to the camera telling them when to
scream and yell and it's great it's it's very entertaining to
watch in halftime. They were the each of these bands they had
must have had 100 people in them. Yeah, they're huge. I'm a
sucker for a good band band performance. I really am the
marching band and marching band. Yeah. And then it was just the
score just got out of hand so in the second half, whatever
it was very comic the way that it got out of hand. Yeah, well
anyway, so that was important You said that's good. I want
Yeah,
I think that was probably the game of the year I watched it so
I noticed on the back of this one of the you know this one one
off jersey that they put fight and ducks right that's how I
came up with it. Yeah, I know as we I figured because I saw that
too when I said fighting ducks when did that happen? It just
the ducks but somebody put it on there I think it has to do with
the University of Delaware has some some crazy names to fight
in or the angry or something like that. Anyway doesn't
matter.
All right. So anyway, thank you for that suggestion. I watched
in there there you go I have a cough Yes. Okay, so today we are
flying without a net we have no no spreadsheet oh wait it just
came in Hey.
Oh the spreadsheets not what we this not be the show's not based
on the spreadsheet
yet it's like it's like a cornerstone without the
spreadsheet I don't know when to go to a break you see that we
can hit the hit the weather and traffic on the equate
that with flying without a net.
It's just you know, I'm I'm a creature of habit. I like to
have this you're you're a neat freak, because you'd have two
rats. I keep telling you this and you keep denying now it's
funny you bring this up, because we had this conversation about
my tics on the previous show.
No, no, it was a couple shows ago. I'm pretty sure
this was the previous show.
Now is the show After John, this is the one where
I talked about club and snapping my feet. My toes. That was this
show. That was the one that wasn't before. No, that was the
New Year's show. He didn't do it on New Year's. Okay, doesn't
matter. The last show was the New Year show.
Yeah, this one I mean, the New Year's show. So it wasn't the
Christmas show. It was the New Year's show. The last show we
did the previous show.
It was the show after the Christmas show.
Which was the New Year of whatever. Why am I arguing with
the man who remembers nothing? This is crazy.
There was a Sunday in between Christmas and New Year's. And
that's when you did
it should not be ours. It doesn't matter. Then I've had
just weeks and weeks of people emailing me who are starting to
become aware of their own tics.
Oh, you mean then unaware that Tourette's sufferer? Yes.
We prefer not to call ourselves sufferers as you can understand.
But we're starting a movement I get people who do the craziest
thing. And it's it's really nice to hear all these all these
different
strange little habits. So what's the weirdest one you've heard
of? Well, the
people who feel the need to roll a tennis ball over parts of
their body like in the
know but that's like the guy that we have a clip from who
says that? He got his urge to blow in his hands for a while.
Then that went away.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but it was just interesting how many how
many people responded and I think the general advice I
always give is if you just if the people in your surrounding
like your family just don't think it's a big deal and they
can laugh about it we do then actually becomes less and it
starts to go away. But I was just surprised the the toke
snapping thing is not exclusive to Adam curry. That's for sure.
I never heard of it before. Well, yeah, but you don't have
Tourette's.
The other reason that it wasn't the last show is because we
reflected on it on the last show.
I believe you is fine. Again, I have lost all look this but I do
remember is I proclaimed that I am on Team Taylor on the last
show.
Yeah. And then was this show before again? You've completely
blocked out the last show.
It was and I have to say I did some research. And you're right.
Her ass is so flat
that she could wear some padding bacteria would make it and she's
been saying By the way, but believe me by the time she gets
to be 40 It won't be anymore
started to look at as like I'm a face guy just look at face and
like
she takes to make up well.
Yes, she did. Well, you can see that she does not have the lips
that she draws on herself. If you look at a close up, you'll
see that you'll see over drugs. Yeah, exactly. The lipstick will
not just overdraws but she goes she creates a whole different
form a whole different shape. It's not really one. That's why
she has to wear the really bright red lipstick.
Yeah, because she blocks off there. Well I actually cry as I
as I've said before, I admire her and I admire the fact that
she's gone and to the in that direction rather rather than
getting her lips pumped up.
Exactly. Now that would not look good and that would ruin her.
No but a lot of these women and show business for some reason
they get tucked into it I don't know why they do it.
It is oh I can tell you why because always craps out. It's
women have it most women have a completely distorted self image
created entirely by the entertainment industry mainly
magazines but I'm hearing more and more now that we've been
talking about the Sony stuff I get more emails from people in
the visual effects business. You've probably seen that video
that served that was going around for a while I don't know
maybe a year back or so. Which shows you how Hollywood Video
Photoshop is what they were calling it kind of works. Have
you ever seen that one? No. Oh, no. Oh my God, I'll have to find
it send it to you. The Whitney the way these actors look in
these movies. It's not just lighting and makeup. There's a
lot of CGI and others and other tricks that are applied
particularly when it comes to bigger stars. And you hear more
and more about it you just like wow, it is also manufactured and
that it creates a horrible self image along with how women
believe they're supposed to look or what is believed to be
normal. And it's it's it's inbred. I don't think there's a
you can't get rid of it
was part of the businesses what you mean? Yeah, it's part of
life and of course as well Yeah, especially when you come on the
air here and start bitching about our flat ass The problem
curry,
but I'm still I'm still teen Taylor. I didn't say that. Over
I like her face. I'm a face guy I told you. Anyway, very, very
important. I know we did not discuss this on the previous
show because I didn't have all the information. And of course,
it's a brand new month is a brand new year, we have
presidential proclamations. Ah, the month of January is a very
important month. And as you know, when we go through these,
it turns out that you don't just get a month all to yourself if
you are for instance, National Mentoring Month to a January is
by presidential proclamation. In a nation of limitless
possibility every child deserves the chance to unlock his or her
potential. When young Americans have the support, they need to
make the most of themselves they can achieve their dreams and
strengthen our country.
Mentoring is just not for kids.
That's a good point. Actually. Mentoring mentors and caring
adults serve as essential sources of inspiration lifting
up young people positioning them to build the America of
tomorrow. That's not
mentoring is life coaching.
I hear it is okay. You always have to look for the
organization that's behind this. The guys that say hey, we got an
idea. We got a special month that idea for you. What do you
think this relates to?
Well, let's see. There's a involve food and
now it's an acronym. I don't know. We are working with
business to increase apprenticeship programs and
connect groups traditionally underrepresented in child labor,
science, technology and maths. Damn them. Yeah. All right. So
this is the stem month one, we just call it stem month, stop
lying. per second. It seems like this comes around every three
months or so. But it is once again National Slavery and Human
Trafficking Prevention Month.
I think the prevention is the new part of it.
Have you well, at least it
awareness with Lupus Awareness Month slavery Prevention Month.
Exactly.
Yeah, let's see who was behind this. Is there any except for us
AI D Is anyone else? No, it doesn't look like there's any
hidden message in here. This is just you know, for slavery, just
to be happy if you have slaves be happy. Congratulations. And
this is another one. We've looked at national stalking
Awareness Month. Now this one I think is it should be a
prevention not an awareness.
Prevention will be in June.
Why? Why would they do this? awareness, awareness,
awareness. First you want to wear awareness comes first. And
then when once you're aware, then you can prevent.
This month we extend our support to all those who have
experienced stalking. And we renew our commitment to shine a
light on this injustice, stock Ionis. And wow, whoa, well, I'm
going to tell you now I'm going to let me read on this, of
course is what this really should be called as national.
Stop free speech Awareness Month. word free speech
Prevention Month. Listen to this. Stalking is a pattern of
unwanted contact. Wow, this is a great definition of stalking,
which can include text messages, emails, and phone calls that
cause an individual to fear for their safety or the safety of
loved ones. While young women are disproportionately at risk,
anyone can be a victim including children and men. Individuals
who are stalked, often know the perpetrator but stalkers can
also be acquaintances or strangers. If yes, you cannot
threaten somebody. But text messages, emails, I don't know
this gets close to what can you do a comments that you'd want to
just add that Facebook posts tweets? That'll be next year
tweets? Oh, he's stalking me with tweets.
You know, a lot of people bitch about getting tweets, unwanted
tweets. And they why don't they just block them or get
off Twitter altogether? Yeah. But it's funny. I hadn't note
here. You are quick to block somebody. When you're sick and
tired
of them. It's called the hammer.
Where the C stands for hammer. What's interesting about it is
you block people who, you know, turn out to be very productive
producers contributors to the show with information sometimes
with financial support. And they always wind up coming back to me
to try and get hold of me anymore to try and get
unblocked. And it's really interesting. Some people
actually know how to do it and then you know I'll be like,
whatever. And I'll send you a message or I'll reply and add us
like I'm blocked this person.
Well, you know, one of the things that's kind of Trump,
trouble for them is that I don't remember. I block a lot of
people. So I don't remember who I blocked or why I remember at
the time, at the very moment, well, this guy is getting on my
nerves blocked. Yeah. And then a month later, he figures it out.
And bitches about it. And I have no idea why I blocked him. So I
usually go back and try to figure out you know, if it's
somebody that you especially because it's like some a night,
exactly.
But it's nice because I'm because you blocked so much.
Now. It all comes down to me. People always like, can you help
me get unblocked? Or they'll say, Well, John won't see those
because he's blocked me. And then it'd be and then I have to
block people.
Here's a reason does it reason I blocked people? Yeah, one
pestering me, too, they have snide remarks that I don't find
appropriate or they piss you off. Somehow I get irked very
easily. And I don't have I don't use Twitter for this sort of
feedback. Well, that's a complaint to
email me. Yeah. But you blog people on an email to well
usually keep emailing me. So but this does flow into a New York
Times article, I read. And it's really interesting how people
are so brain dead when it comes to the internet, and
particularly this issue of, you know, stalking or, or if you
look at it from another angle, censorship. And the title of
this one was published January 1, web freedom is seen as a
growing global issue. And the problem of this article is
writing the title, web freedom member, remember, this went from
internet freedom, which is Hillary, Hillary Clinton,
doublespeak to web freedom. And in this case, this article is
talking about government censorship. How Putin required
Facebook to remove a page about some guy who was also running
for mayor in Moscow, whatever. But the whole idea that we have
gotten to this place where people believe that the only way
to do something on this vast network is through these apps or
companies like Facebook and Twitter and, and Google or
whatever else is so discouraging to me.
It's beyond that, as far as I'm concerned, because I don't use
Facebook, which is which, which results in a situation like
there was a article in USA Today that I wanted to comment on.
Okay. I decided to start commenting, and I did. I
did like, comment on the web where we want to shut
down the web issue of the of the newspaper, there's comments,
they have hundreds, Mark Poggle I got my two cents, I'm gonna
throw it in. But sign in with your Facebook account.
Yeah, exactly. This is also crap. That's why should
I Why should Why is why am I required by USA Today? To have a
Facebook account? Well,
you know why? I mean, the answer is obvious. Because they're part
of the beacon system, or whatever it's called today, then
they get a lot of data from Facebook, if you use your
Facebook account to log in.
So they don't really care about comments. Now. They care about
who you are not exploiting.
Yes. The readers. Yes. And yeah, exactly. The throw up some cool
ads for you. Relevant, it's relevant advertising, don't you
want that? Just when you're in the market for something, it'll
pop up magically? I've seen I've sold that lied to so many
people. Yeah, we can take all this data. You see, we can big
data with analytics with our advanced network analysis
language, we get big data, we got big data, whether locally
managed network, operating protocol, all of that stuff, can
we get big data, we can tell exactly what shoes they want, as
the shoes communicate to the Internet of Things, bull crap.
So it was just really disheartening to me that you
know, the people are being raised now thinking that this
internet is just an app on your phone. And it's whatever app it
has to be and not that you can actually use this fabulous
network to communicate in so many different ways. It's just
people give up like oh well oh, Facebook, shut me down. Facebook
and these are the people who will have to be voted off the
island.
Well, we're the ones are gonna get voted off the island.
Eventually
the FCC saying they're going to vote on net neutrality in
February. Oh, yeah. I think I know what's going to happen. Now
we knows Red Book material may be as the president wants or has
you know that he doesn't know crap about that. He doesn't
really doesn't understand it, but he the White House the
administration has said we really want Want the Internet to
be regulated under Title two. And, of course, the all of the
incumbents, I'm sorry, the, the internet companies or what they
would call information providers, you know, Google,
etc. They don't want this. Because they know that that
really first of all solidifies the position of the of the
incumbent network providers makes them a commodity to the
business will not become interesting to invest in which
will ruin Google's idea because they just want to own the whole
internet. that's out there in Austin, man. They have
billboards and T shirts and teams, street teams, and you
gotta sign up and vote for your fiber hood. So you can get
rolled out first. It's fiber hood, fiber hood. Yeah, these
guys are the other good. They're gonna like you enter your
address, and then it zooms in and shows you your exact
district by fiber node. And you have
or is it f5? ERFIBRE?
That's a good question. I have the feeling see if I
can, I'm guessing er, I'm looking at Yeah, er,
fiber hoods. You know, Google even has little Hello, Austin.
Well, and people love Google.
Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course they do. Hello. I was gonna say
something about the fiber hoods about all the billboards, just
know just impede and like, but like Van cheese on the people
just don't understand or are walking around with T shirts on
site signing up on the street.
All right. So we have all that. And then we have Wheeler, who
is, you know, says, Okay, we got to vote on this thing. And I
believe what's going to have there is legislation which has
not been made public yet. Which and let me see what this is.
It's, this is the Republicans in Congress, who are putting this
together, and they are working on something known as Title X.
Wow, they're so stealthy. They're in Congress. It sure is
not title 10? Well, it could be but it just says Title X,
which is 10.
Yeah. Why would it be 10? They're already there already is
a title. If you
look at bills, they have one and they have to and then they have
wine, I understand.
But in okay. I think they already have a title 10 as they
have a title to and current legislation, or it might be
title 10. This would apparently enshrine elements of the tough
net neutrality principles. This is who wrote this crap
Washington Post. Of course, they've they've no idea what
they're talking about. This would enshrine elements of the
tough net neutrality principles called for by President Obama
last month. For example, it would give FCC Chairman Tom
Wheeler the authority to prevent broadband companies from
blocking or slowing traffic to websites. This metaphor is
fucked. Stop this is so dumb, educating people completely
incorrectly, or charging content companies such as Netflix for
faster access to their subscribers, a tactic known as
paid prioritization. All this, all this discussion and no one
and the journalists, the Free Press has learned nothing about
how this works. Nothing. So these new powers would come with
the trade off. According to insiders in exchange for Title X
or 10. The FCC would refrain from regulating net neutrality
using title two of the Communications Act, a step
favored by many advocates of aggressive regulation, including
the president. broadband providers of strongly oppose
aggressive net and Net Neutrality rules. And everyone's
Everybody's got their own agenda here. I think I like the idea of
a title I don't think they can title to would make no sense,
except for the lawyers because that'll just be litigated for
the next 20 years. And I don't see that being anything
effective.
This is a government takeover of the internet.
Yeah. Well, regardless of what what it becomes, it will all say
all over it. ISPs may not block unlawful content, or unlawful
network traffic and that's the it's the the last one that
scares me unlawful network traffic. So what will that be
peer devices that work? No peer to peer could be traffic, it
could be it's gonna be peer to peer voiceover I think so to
voice over IP. But again, the the ultimate solution for all of
this is the distributed hash table. We'll be in that. That's
how that's how we'll be distributing whatever is left of
us. That's how we'll be doing it.
Okay, what else is on the list of Obama's proclamations? Now
that was it. That's all the proclamation. But of course, he
did an executive order while he was on vacation there and in
Hollywood to CNN actually has a pretty good background or hold
on. This was so brazen, after the entire technology world
pretty much agrees that the forensics of the FBI to prove
that North Korea was behind the Sony hack along with the
timeline, along with the ransom they initially asked for the
fact that they never really talked about this movie until
the media picked it up, which is part of the big promotional push
that the President, the administration and the President
double down by saying, Oh, we stand behind our analysis from
the FBI, and you don't have the secret evidence that the FBI
has, oh, I'm sorry, this evidence, so they used the
misused, misused abused secret evidence to to put more
sanctions on North Korea, which is what I really focused on
the new sanctions ordered by President Obama are being dubbed
by the White House as broad and powerful and only the initial US
response to North Korea's alleged cyber attack on Sony
Pictures. Senior administration officials say they're aimed at
any and all officials of the North Korean government its
political hierarchy, as well as the heart of Pyongyang shadowy
cyber operation shadowy and the money that finances it
specifically blocked from any dealings with US financial firms
the RGB North Korea's intelligence operation comit,
its primary arms dealer, plus a chief defense research and
development firm. In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, the
president said his executive order adds to sanctions already
in place and is not targeted at the people of North Korea but
rather is aimed at the Government of North Korea and
its activities that threaten the United States and others
let's look at the executive order first was a you know this
is this is like candy for me an executive order ah by pointed
out and go take it with me while I'm while I'm pooping. I love
these. Listen to this language. I BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF America find that the provocative,
destabilizing and repressive actions and policies of the
government of North Korea, including its destructive
coercive cyber related actions during November and December
2014 actions and violations of the United This is the unsquare
so the human was unserer United Nations Security Council the
numbers Security Council resolution 1718 1874 There's too
many John. Just get what I want unsquare unscarred. Yeah, this
the United un is what United Nations Security Council
resolution unsquare. Oh, okay. And commission of serious human
rights abuses, constitute a continuing threat to the
national security foreign policy and economy of the United States
and hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared
an executive order 13 4/66 of June 26 2008, expanded in scope
and executive order 1355. One, and relied upon for additional
steps in executive order. 13570 This is like dominoes, man. This
is so cool. The way they link all this stuff together. It's a
lawyer's dream. So the sanctions that were put on, very
interesting, then I think the press is really getting away
with with really shitty journalism as usual. Because
what is this COVID is no journalism. Yeah. COVID What is
COVID? How do you spell it? Well, K O M. I D COVID. Is let
me I had there's I think there's even a wiki page. So COVID is
and I didn't know this is the military industrial complex
state run. Weapons manufacture and sales arm of North Korea. I
did not realize I always thought Iran was giving stuff to North
Korea, but it's exactly the other way around. North Korea
sells mangled things that they're asked to manufacture. So
they get plans will they'll rip off some some missile that
they've been given. They'll manufacture and they'll do that
in high output and send that to Iran, but also they have a sales
office in Syria. Ha, ha, North Korea mass produced missiles.
smokescreen? Yeah. Yeah, there's so many thing now.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, it has nothing to do with it. In fact,
the President even said it I think in the in the letter to,
to Congress, I have that here somewhere that he says no, this
isn't not necessarily to target because of it was really stupid
the way he
wrote that coma stands for Korea mining development Trading
Corporation,
right. And I find them all over the place. Also getting precious
metals and minerals, and not just manufacturing and the name
kind of implies that. So there's a lot more to this COVID And
three of the people who were also placed under sanctions,
that was new work for COVID, or our sales guys. So this is all
as usual.
And yes, about defense industry, as usual. So these guys have
started selling bullets. We're gonna sell more bullets by
putting them out of business. You can't
be selling in Syria, you idiots. This is not how it worked.
That's our turf. We distribute the arms to everybody in that in
that that's our corner. So I think they were just waiting for
an excuse to do this, because they would just hope this is
great. Let's do it. Now.
Let's look at some of these 10 North Korean individuals. You'll
see that they're all related. Yeah, Jang Song Choi is a COVID
representative in Russia and an official of the North Korean
government. He's working with individuals in Sudan who are
procuring materials from him. Yeah, yeah. Kim Jung Choi Chol
is a COVID representative in Iran and official the North
Korean government Yeah, this is just part of this.
Here is here are their here are their export partners.
Guys are these guys are like, like our ships. He kept Uber.
The Uber of the military industrial complex.
Here's your guys, Rio Jin and Kenny, there's two people
operating in Syria
here. Here are the expert here. They're here. They're customers
that Wikipedia has a list of their clients, Pakistan, North
Korean entities continuing to provide assistance to Pakistan's
ballistic missile program. Egypt. They've received
technology and assistance for making the why song five and why
song six. Iran as previously mentioned, one of the first
countries to buy North Korean missiles Libya, we we cut that
one off Syria. Oh, Syria originally obtained Scud B from
North Korea. And as apparently North Korea has assisted Syrian
development of this currency and studies
well, we are led to believe sketches Russian
they have manufactured United Arab Emirates have purchased
some squash song fives. This is a while ago. That's a good
product. I gotta check this out and Yemen. So wherever you're
wherever North Korea has a sales office, we're droning people
sales guys. Hey, Achmed, look he has his brown shoes on he must
be sales guy via
now who is that you're imitating?
I don't know. It was
the guy at Nellis and in the in the cargo container shooting. I
have
to tell you that was one of my worst invitations ever. Yes.
It's real. It's real. Sorry.
The first and only time I played
that was that you
was that? That was the seed guy. It was funny.
You're not You're not that far off.
So anyway, we of course are being sold as usual a load of
crap about this and what is the what is the big news? And I
think this
was good. You guessed it, you know, the whole thing was
sketchy. We knew that and we knew is bullcrap. But I never
put together the COVID
thing. That's because this is what this is what the what
angers me so much. I need to know is it do the journalists
just they just don't think about it they're not interested do
they think they don't
have time?
Or is if someone says we don't you know
we have the time but somehow they don't have the time this is
all I do. Do show prep. DVDs of the interview will be air
dropped on North Korea. Thanks Engadget
who is going to do this? This is bull crap horse it is the same I
got a kid guy when I saw that when passed a wire to is like,
right. I was thinking first thing I thought his job to get
the country code right.
Who is this Park Sang hack activist? Who is doing is what
CIA shill is this guy. This is so dumb. Let me see. Park Sang
hack. Who is he? He's the guy that says I'm gonna make this
happen. All right. Yeah, you go fly. You're a little auto gyro
with your DVDs. So he defected
in North Korea have a DVD player?
I don't know. Well, they have three G and I think even will
certainly 3g networks. It may not be the you know, who knows?
We're certainly not supposed to think they have that. We're
supposed to think they're all in chains.
Gulags pounded rocks.
Anyway, I find it brazen, just brazen for anyone to say we
stand by the FBI because we have secret evidence. Oh, I'm sorry.
Secret evidence.
This is the lamest thing I've ever seen. The whole story is
lame. And now that you brought the COVID thing, and now it kind
of makes sense. But is that the best they could do?
Well, I'm, I've been searching and searching, I'm pretty sure
there's something that we still haven't figured out about the
COVID deal something is going on. And there's very little to
be found just by searching around for COVID. There's a
couple other companies that have used that same acronym has a
name. I don't know if it's the same one or over it's a
subsidiary or whatever it is. Here the what the FBI is saying
is that they track Sony hackers for years. Well, then why don't
you stop what they were doing if you tracking them for years? And
all these things come together, we got the movie Blackhat being
rushed out, which looks pretty good, by the way. Does Is that
is that a Brad Pitt vehicle? Is he is he in that?
They'd have to look because the
trailers are so quick.
Yeah, no, this one of those, which means it may be a piece of
crap too. Could be fits in it's usually pretty good.
Yeah, I'm I'm a Brad Pitt fan. I don't think it is good taste.
No, I think it's Michael nuts. Chris
Hemsworth. Viola Davis, and no, he's not just he's not producing
it. I don't think so. Yeah. That looks good. Yeah, it's probably
crap.
Yeah. But, but it's all coming out all kinds of the same time.
We have to have all these things happening that believe me, the
reason why this, this vote for the FCC vote is coming up. It'll
be it'll be tied into it. You know, we need to have better
security to protect our people.
Well, I'm thinking by the way that there's going to be some
incidents as the Obama administration is still in
power. Yeah. Oh, some incident before March. I think it's March
when the Homeland Security needs to be refunded. Oh, it's coming
up. Because they Republicans tried to hold the financing for
2015. So it's just going to expire, to get back at Obama for
his Cavalier allowing illegals to come wandering over and
Spoken like a true fan. So the way you know, we don't even get
Fox anymore. I
haven't seen Fox it's off. It's been they took it off. They took
it off the day improved
the IQ of the digital listeners. Yours. So they anyway, they,
their job is to put the squeeze on Obama. But all they need is
an incident. I'm going to put in the book that I think there will
be a security incident and an airport just for this thing
fails. Yeah. So that way they want it there'll be no argument.
That's that's the easiest way because that's what the public
really understands. And that's what Department of Homeland
Security stands for. But even though interestingly enough,
when the President and everyone else talks about this is so as
irks me about our quote, unquote, broken immigration
system, this is this has now become the, the mean, or the
just the narrative that what the word our immigration system is
broken. That That makes so little sense. What does that
mean, it's broken? Is it in pieces?
Do we have to glue it back together? What,
what is broken about it? I can tell you, but it's we all know
it's broken. No, no one really understands what's broken other
than the Department of Homeland Security took over the whole
thing became a big money grubbing administrative scam.
It's just impossible to wade through the paperwork with forms
named for 20. Yes, you need to fill out form form for 20. You
need to send in the $420 payment.
It's just like the this is true, but I know it's a great gag, I
think is very funny. But this is like the Pentagon cannot seem to
do an audit on itself. Well, though, and this has been the
case for years now. We can't do we can't do an audit.
And I always like reminding people that this I always like
reminding people that on September 10 2001, Donald
Rumsfeld said, you know, there's about $2 trillion unaccounted
for in the Pentagon. We don't know exactly what happened to
it.
You remember that? Yeah. Yeah. And I want to find that clip.
Ah, maybe A Rumsfeld thing so I may have that as a an evergreen?
Probably not. Because I don't care that much. So the NPR did
an interview with the President. And they did. First of all, I
find it interesting that they did not air this on. It was
about 45 minutes on NPR in its entirety. They chopped it up
into a million bits and use it
as well, as you've heard Obama.
I think it's still interesting to listen by watch the it's a
they released a video, I watched the entire video and pulled a
couple of things from it. And it was really more. He is this is
pretty in the beginning. And I have I'll play them throughout
today's show just one or two. When I listened to him, he
sounds so disrespectful of the function he holds. But it's an
arrogance almost. And I never really have felt that so much as
as in this particular interview. Well just listen to the what he
says here, then I don't know it. Maybe it's me. Maybe, you know,
I'm the patriotic Yankee Doodle Dandy living in Texas. Who
doesn't like it? But yeah, well, I,
here's what I do think is true. That
That, by the way, is one of the best performance performances
I've ever heard. That that do it. Here's what I do think is
true. Wow. So whatever you're about to say, doesn't matter.
Think it's true? Maybe get?
Well I? Here's what I do think is true, that I have spent six
years now in this office. We have dealt with the worst
economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression.
So when someone says, I have spent six years in this office,
it's like he sacrificed himself. You know, I've spent all this
time as it's my own commodity. You know, my resource. I've
seen better things to do.
I would I would have preferred to hear the President say I have
served the American people in this office for six years. Is it
just me that this sounds irksome to all presidents talk this way
have I just missed it?
I can't say one way or the other. Does it bother you? Well,
now that you mentioned it, it does mean he slipped it by me
but he also the way he says it like I have spent six years
I've might I could have been doing like he's doing time I
could
have been doing blow with Larry Sinclair in the back of the
limo. Yeah.
Well, I here's what I do think is true that I have spent six
years now in this office. We have dealt with the worst
economic and financial crisis since the Great Depression. We
have we have dealt with it international turmoil that we
haven't seen in a lot of years
a lot of years.
I love him when he when he doesn't really have fact the lot
of years you know, this has been doing this for ever seen some
bill a lot of years. Just bothers me this guy. That that
and I typically don't have a problem with him, but this plow
man, could we just have a little bit of respect for the office of
the president.
He doesn't seem to have much on his own. Glen Eiffel, Glen Gwen,
who is the head geographer
for the President Obama and I've been a huge and Paul I can't
believe that they keep her let her stay on. I mean, I can kind
of usually most of the people that are the Liberals that work
for the News Hour are not so blatantly obvious. And I have a
clip which is Oh, where are you? This is your evil phone ringing.
This is your evil phone ringing and Surrett Wow,
nice. Yeah, it was good stuff. A little interlude for you. Yeah,
I
can't find obviously you make this clip. Good work. Okay, on
the other side of the coin. Good work. On the other side of the
well I have for the next show. Okay, on the other side of the
coin, though, we do have these sorts of calls. Which just
brings to mind in my in my opinion that more people from
the no agenda show should call and see spam. Because if
somebody can get a Skype call in like this, which is just a rant,
and the guy just listened to the whole rant and it goes to the
next caller. It's just even say anything on this call that
headline
America resurgent Obama tells reporters, Batavia, Illinois
Rick's on the Republican line, Rick, what'd you think? Hey,
there you go. Go ahead.
Press Conference was was a disaster. Like most of Obama's
press conferences. They seem vague but in essence three are
meaningless. Obama has appointed themselves dictator, he thinks
he's the poor man's Castro. I mean, who does this guy think he
is executive action. That's nothing more codeword for
tyranny and lawlessness. Obama should be impeached. His Castro
policy, first of all isn't gonna get anywhere because he can't in
embargoes, where he thinks he is. Second of all, he cozies up
to dictators, fogs and all kinds of Islamic terrorists. No
questions about his Mideast policy, which is in this tank.
Look at Egypt, look at Syria. Look at the Palestinians who are
bloodthirsty. I mean, every word this guy touches there's a
disaster. Obama is incompetent, and he should be impeached now
to Daphne, Alabama. Bolton is on our desk right
now on to the weather. Yeah, people should definitely call in
and always call the Democrat line. For That's the rule.
Yeah, they says you treated slightly differently like a
nutcase. Now, somebody did call in and mentioned something and
then the guy confirmed it. Obama in his press conferences when
he's taking questions lately, about what Yeah, lately and then
the last one was a good example. He only calls on women. Yeah,
this is this has been discussed what brought at the very last
one. He calls on one man, but actually, it was a
list of who's naughty or nice. That was given to him by Josh
Earnest. That's what the President said. So the list he
blamed Ernest for the list, but it was indeed all women. Yeah,
yeah.
Sexism. Yes. Total sexism.
And you know, two wrongs don't make a right is what I was
always taught. But that's okay. Because when it comes down to
the American public, John, I have a new noodles kid for you.
Oh, yeah. This is here's the millennial, the millennial of
the decade. Happy news, everyone. This by the way, is
one of those YouTube videos where the kids are just talking,
right one of the YouTube kiddies out, you know, the kind John,
the kind that you send to me to piss me off. Yeah, here's one
for you.
Happy news, everyone. Um, I hope you guys have a safe fun day.
And like, you guys, like you guys need to be more
appreciative because this earth is like 2014 years old. Because
like, that's a long time. Like, we know we made it. Like the
President's like they fought for freedom. Like, whoa, like
without the President's help. We will not be free right now. So
yeah, instead of like just partying as though you guys
should actually like, be thankful and like, pray to the
like, presidents because they actually like gave us freedom.
Yeah. Yeah, I
call bullshit.
You watch the video. It's this real? Bullshit real? You watch
the video. It's real.
I don't believe the noodle boy. I do believe this doesn't sound
like the Earth is 2000 years old.
2014 years old. Yeah. 2014. Yeah. John, this I sent
me a link out look at it. I'm not buying it. You just did this
to get back at me.
I'm telling you. It was real through. I got to stop doing
that. I'm walking down the street. I'm doing this people
look at me like I'm crazy. Stop doing that.
I got a couple of classics. And before you do
that, I want to mention a TV show since you brought up Fox
Fox. I I found this on the Roku. I don't know it was it. Maybe it
was.
There's more weird crap if you ever really got on to the Roku
has spent some time digging through their menus. Yeah, there
is some crazy stuff on there if you dig deep and well,
this actually now that I think of it came from my Amazon FireTv
stick. Yeah. Okay. Which I like, I have to say I like it. Have
you ever seen the television show Drunk History? Yeah. This
is an outstanding product. What they do is they they they do
stories about history. And they have actors who are mining the
words as they're being told by the narrator, who are semi well
known people like authors and but they're drunk, like
completely hammered. And, and I only saw three episodes, four
episodes in two of them. The narrator puked on camera. It's
it's really it's one of the best shows I've ever seen on
television.
I don't know this is a good thing to be promoting.
You watch this. You will love it.
Well, it sounds like television. The way it ought to be. Yes,
exactly. This is why I've always had this this desire to do a
show We're a kind of a roundtable a talk show called
legally drunk. Yeah. And it starts off with in the scene
begins with each of the presenters blowing into a
alcohol, alcohol breathalyzer breathalyzer and they blow it
blow into it and you watch the thing go off to the legally
drunk, and then the next one and then they when everyone's
legally drunk, then you start discussing current events.
why don't why don't you and I just do
that? Yeah, we could.
Yeah, of course, we first have to get my original show on the
air. Which was happened. We haven't talked about this in a
long time.
lose our drone.
That's right. Everybody wants to get time to play. We lose our
drone. Are you ready? We got Muhammad we got awkward. And we
got some news from Yemen. They're all going to be right
here on
row three.
Let's go to John who has the score.
Adam,
we got Bill with 30 points. Sally with 10 points, and achmad
with 50 points.
That's right onto round to lose our drone. This is
the elimination round.
We fail if we could do it. Or maybe
we could with the videos all there. It's made for it. We got
videos, we got profiles boom is perfect.
So the Chinese are into the drones. I got a drone clip. So
we can keep up with what's going on in China. This drone that
they showed on CC whatever tvcc tvcc p TV. They this thing is
just an exact copy of one of our drones. But it's you know it's
huge, even though they say it's small,
and other stories were falling for you drones are increasingly
common at least drone takes a closer look at how far Chinese
unmanned aerial vehicles have come after the debut of Chinese
drone wing loan at an aviation
This is the first flying practice for the wind loan team
in 2015. A drone takes off after a 700 meter crawl on the ground.
It joins another one in the air a big challenge for the control
system.
Man flying operation system will adapt what a pilot must do
according to the programming, we can monitor the drones during
the whole process in a correct each and every movement.
The homemade unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of
reconnaissance and a settlement. He can also carry out civilian
tasks like patrolling and monitoring. As a small size
drawn, when long is designed to be light and agile. However,
lightness also means difficulties in keeping balanced
during strong turbulence.
Remember, when we were just starting off years ago talking
about drones and we predicted all of this, we see exactly how
this is gonna go. And here it is. And it's just like boiling
frogs and water man. Except we forgot to jump out.
Well, one of these days we're gonna have I don't know what
they're gonna do with these drones started attacking, you
know, when country attacks and other using drones. And yeah,
it's easy enough to do in Yemen, because they got nothing going
on there. But what happens when a swarm of them come over in New
York City?
So that is exactly what was the Kill Decision? Was that it?
Yeah, Kill Decision. Yeah, Daniel Suarez, his book is a
very accurate depiction of what drones can become in the swarm
is one of the one of the features of these drones in the
book where the see smaller drones that do have weapons that
can shoot conventional rounds. But they find each other and
then they create this, this swarm, which is and then they
all synchronize. It's like there's no escaping it. And
there's no turning it off.
But again, to come with some EMTs or something that just
knock these things out of the air at the same time,
although there will be a big market for it.
So I have a little side thing here if you want to do it. Okay.
It's not ask Adam is kind of asking him I want you to guess
the country of a new story. It's it's pretty obscure. But you
have to guess where they don't tell you where this is taking
place until the end of the story. Is that at the beginning,
so I thought this was a good possibility, especially leading
into our donation segment. Okay. For you to guess the country.
I'm going to do the question anyway, then. So since we're
right, come on, John C. Dvorak Got a burning question. What
should we do?
Cause Yeah, that's what I said problem is not a burning
question because I know the answer
that Five men have been arrested and charged with kidnapping
Belgium. I'm just trying to jump the gun. There's more points if
I if I answered before the clip is over repeatedly
gang raping and extorting money. London the palace, from a 22
year old Japanese tourist young woman was held captive and
repeatedly assaulted over several weeks. It's the latest
case to underline the soaring levels of violence against women
in India despite toughened rape laws.
Doesn't she say India or did I misunderstand? You played
the wrong clip? You doing this on purpose? Oh, no, I'm
not. I'm not What are you talking about? Country?
Question for ad?
Oh, I see what country answer I'm sorry. I played it. So
sorry. You're right
next to each other, aren't they?
Well, the what country question for Adam is below the what
country answer Sorry. It's alphabetical? Yeah. If you
number them, then it
would have I could number them and say something. I might start
doing that. You did this on purpose, though.
I that is not true. Why would I do that? Why would Why would I
do that? It's the screw up to say no. Why would I love these
segments? I really love answering these things. I didn't
do that on purpose. I'm sorry. I could have pointed it out. Yeah.
Well, I was waiting. You would have told me to stop if it if
you answer. I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. Okay, well,
anyway,
was a good stores India. Well, I
feel bad.
I mentioned that because we get no donors from India.
Do you want to do it over I'll just edit it and then we'll
pretend like it never happened.
If you don't do that we've never done.
I'm going to show my school by Joe. Nice to know. So imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
John, seriously, I really feel bad about that. But I feel worse
that you are accusing me of doing that on purpose. Are you
just making a joke with me?
No, no, I'm dead serious because you've done this before. I've
never done that on purpose ever. I
never. I never
said you did. Why would I do that on purpose?
Because you hate this segment. I
love these segments. You're crazy. No.
is right. There's two clips right next to each other one
says what cuts question for Adam, what country answer? It's
not it wasn't it wasn't a stretch.
I went down the list. I said, whatever. Sorry. I didn't do an
on purpose.
And I think no, I'm not convinced. We do have three
people to thank for today's
show. This is your idea of a bit. I
don't like it. Yeah, so what I said. Now if it's your idea of a
bit of blaming me that I did it on purpose. I don't like that
because it's not true.
Well, anyway, India was the answer. We have three people,
one executive producer and two Associate Executive producers,
none of them from India, by the way, which was kind of the point
of the gag. John White $333.33 I cannot find anything from John
White.
Oh, did you get something? Yeah, mine Hold on a second. It may
also be a different named as we know him. On a second, I think I
have it here. Well, maybe not. No, I don't. Hey, so listen,
just before you go on any further, it makes no sense for
you to say that I would ruin the segment as it was. It would have
been a perfect segue into thanking the executive producers
Why would I do that?
I don't know I think is Tourette's. I just get the sense
that you've never liked the ask Adam. I love the
ask Adam segment. I love guessing the movies I love I
love that. I love challenging my intellect. And it doesn't come
along often.
is trivial pursuit is not intellect oriented.
Trivial Pursuit Where did where did the gang rape take place?
Oh, let me think I know the answer to this. We don't
normally say
India that's where all gang rape seemed to take place. Anyway, I
have nothing from John White. I
don't like being accused of things. I
did. Okay. I take the accusation back.
Thank you. Hope that makes you feel better, much better.
Intel armor LLC to one on one dollars and two cents in
Portland, Oregon. I think it's wonderful to start off the new

That's how we that's how we

Okay, he didn't ask for karma. Until the armor LLC in Portland,
Oregon. I'll give it to him.
Anyway, since
you've got karma, Associate Executive Producer.
Need Now we have the last person on the list, which is baronet's

Bear in It's Monica of Pembina River Valley. Don't mention my

last thing is. What do you think? That is actually the next
line on? Oh, yeah. It's real. It's real. It's real. Karma.
That's it. We're done. And you know what? The thing that
bothers me, is it because of all this about your segue, telling,
blaming me. I didn't get to say in the morning to you, John C.
Dvorak.
Oh, that's very funny. Well, that's the reason. In the
morning, John C. Dvorak, Linda morning to you Adam curry in the
morning all ships to see boots on the ground feet in the air
subs in the water and all the day and we do have subs in the
water, apparently, and all the names and it sounded
like I got the email as well. And of course, I didn't have my
pancakes. So that's why I'm all off kilter here. So just so you
know, in the morning to our artists, so first of all, let me
say hi to the chat room in the morning there no agenda.
stream.com. Nice to have you all. Helping out on today's
program, our artists. No agenda, art generator.com. Thank you
very much. 20 watt bulb, who we unanimously unanimously agreed
this was perfect and nothing. Right. Well, that's unanimous
vote. And there was some good art.
Bob's got a real professional quality when he does when he
feels
like he's got some stuff going on.
I agree. He's got it. We figured he is tools. Yeah, that art
pieces was beautiful Now was it it was not saying you can just
throw it together?
I'm thinking he has clients, he might have done something with
that tool or that process? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking,
isn't it? He's not designing tools for us.
Thank you very much to our three producers here. Of course,
executive producers, associate execs to and our top executive
producer John White. These are obviously real credits. That's
why they appear earlier on before we do our full segment.
And they're not accepted wherever credits are accepted by
outfits. Unlike Hollywood will, of course, gladly vouch for
these credits as executive producer, please consider us for
Thursday show this is looking pretty thin.
vo.org/and. A,
we always need you to be out there calling C span propagating
the formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth
all right. So I had a bad password. So I had a really
strong sense of indignation.
And it carried over right up into the show. Barely. Yeah.
And it was uh, it was pretty much about you getting fired by
your voice. Agent.
Yes. Yeah. Well, I never got a gig from my voice agent.
You never got a gig. I don't want to play this is on one of
the football games with a national audience. And this is a
commercial. I just
want you to listen to it. This is the San Antonio voiceover.
Yes. And
this is I'm thinking this guy, listen to it carefully. And this
isn't even the whole thing. It's about a minute and a half
actually very long commercial with this guy yakking away.
Here,
exotic is the standard. Inspiration abounds. And at
every turn, there's something new and amazing to this.
Discover. This is unforgettable San Antonio. It's a land of art,
history and culture with World Heritage nominated missions, art
museums and galleries and the world famous a 15 mile long
Riverwalk. It's a culinary scene bursting with flavors and dishes
from around the world prepared by some of the best chefs in the
country. It's a destination packed with adventure featuring
hundreds of festivals, events and attractions. Like Six Flags
Fiesta Texas. And SeaWorld San Antonio.
That's right. Come on down to the 15 mile River Walk. That's
me. I could have done it
again plays the sub clip best chefs. Okay.
best chefs in the country. Yeah.
Best and you couldn't get any voiceover work now? No, that was
an abomination. That voiceover really guy had cotton balls
stuffed in his mouth or something? I have no idea how to
even talk like that.
So. So it's Saturday night. You sitting at home? You're seeing
this? You're mad that I didn't get voiceover work. This is
Yeah, after hearing this guy. This is what happens to you.
Yeah. Well, that's kind of nice. Now I feel much better.
But he should. I think you should get another agent. This
clip quit. I wouldn't be talking about best chef.
Dr. Chi quit. I've done I've done no more. I've never ever
ever gotten any voice or any voice over work. And of all the
television and movies I auditioned for of course it
doesn't the Swamp Thing doesn't really count because they just
want someone who could. I was remember a lion and I bumped
into furniture. I did get into the final round of the new Wk RP
in Cincinnati. So I didn't know this to be the Yeah, the Dr.
Johnny fever. Yeah, it was me and one other guy a long time
ago. Then I didn't get it. There you go. And it got canceled
after four episodes. Something showed up in the news, which is
going completely viral. Something that I immediately got
to work on with our Brian the gay Crusader who he had his take
on this but I have something else I'm always looking for and
it did show up once again. This is the transgender girl who
committed suicide after his her crazy religious parents would
not accept him being wanting to be hurt. Did you hear about this
story at all?
Only vaguely.
Okay, well, this this kind of package is going around
is the Texas story.
Petition gaining momentum online tonight roughly 60,000 people
calling for the family of this transgender teen to put her
chosen name Leila on her tombstone. This after the 17
year old born Josh Ryan alicorn apparently committed suicide
over the weekend. I hate the fact that he had to live in a
home that didn't support him. Elkhorn lashing out against her
devout parents and society in a suicide note on social media.
The life I would have lived isn't worth living in. She wrote
because I'm transgender, adding she felt like a girl trapped in
a boy's body but that her family wanted me to be their perfect
little straight Christian boy on Facebook. alicorns mother made
no mention of suicide but wrote My sweet son went home to heaven
this morning. He was out for an early morning walk and was hit
by a truck. According to a survey from 2010 41% of 7000
transgender people question had attempted suicide alicorns death

her note Elkhorn wrote she wanted her death to quote mean

transgender people aren't treated the way I was tonight
her death starting a conversation.
Let's have a conversation about this. John, in Ohio. I need to
Yes, I need to have a conversation. First of all, this
is exactly why you can't be saying tranny on the show. But
Brian, the gay Crusader had a very good point he said the way
the press is reporting on this suicide is really beyond any
journalistic integrity or even the written somewhat unwritten
rules of how you're supposed to comment on the reason why
someone committed suicide, which you really I read the pointer is
that are they kind of a, any kind of
empty? Er? Yeah. Well, no,
who would you what school or? Well, I can ask you because
you're a journalist. And
I know most of the edicts come out of Columbia.
In general, is it not incorrect to come right out and say,
because his parents wouldn't let him be a her or whatever. That's
why this kid committed suicide. I don't think that's good
journalism.
Well, you know, there's a couple of things here that I want to
mention one. I don't think anybody has I don't like whether
you do it or anybody else does it. They pontificate
pontification about what is good journalism and what is not good
journalism? What is because it implies that there's some sort
of rigid rules that our government edX at some point,
this leads to licensing of journalists, I disagree. 100%,
that it's good or bad journalism is just a way it's done by this
person. There's some belief that there are actual rules. Even
though the idea of journalism and the brand the free press is
defined by the Constitution as just doesn't have it's vague.
But over the years, there's been all these rules that have
evolved usually out of Colombia, that you're supposed to do it
this way or that way. And a bunch of newspapers have also
adopted these and you're supposed to do it this way that
we're this is all bogus. At the end, the end of the day, it's
gonna mean that bloggers because they don't do it a certain way,
aren't journalists, and diary keepers. Aren't journalists,
anybody is a journalist, then they can do it any way they
want. In reality, this is all an attack on freedom of speech. So
there's no right way to do these things. And I've always been
annoyed to an extreme about oh, that's not you. That's bad
journalism is always said by somebody who's never been a
journalist, usually just some citizen, who's out there
pointing the finger. Oh, they didn't do it the right way. Oh,
that's not that's bad journalism, because I've had it
myself accused of it many a time because I write opinion
journalism, which is, by many standards, as bad journalism,
you didn't quote anybody, and that sort of thing. And I find
it extremely. It's repelling to me. I don't like this, this
imaginary good versus bad journalism thing, because it's
bogus. It's totally bogus. And
I could not agree with you more. I stand corrected. That is not
what I meant by saying that.
Okay, what I did was I wasn't attacking you. No, no, I
know. I know, concept. What I said was attackable is true. By
this. You're absolutely right. We're journalists. I'm a
journalist, I feel like a journalist,
you're more of a journalist. My the way I see it, you're more of
a journalist and most of the reporters because you reveal
interesting stuff that that is being ignored by people that
don't want to put the extra research in. And that's as good
as it gets, as far as I'm concerned. In many ways, you're
a better journalist, quote, unquote, than I am, because of
the way you approach stories. But that doesn't mean that
you're a model that everyone should copy and you have if you
don't do it this way, then it's no good. Yeah, I
fell into a typical trap the way it came out, but what I meant
was I am very disturbed by and this has been disturbing me ever
since this first started with this bullying, cyber bullying of
gay children, transgender, whatever it is usually around
sexuality, homosexuality, or any other of the LGBTQ Qi AAP
acronym. And it's always all because he was bullied. Oh,
because he his parents hated him because they were crazy
Christians crazy religious freaks of they wouldn't,
wouldn't recognize. And I'm always looking for one thing and
all the suicides. And here it is. I read from the
I can guess what it is.
Don't because it'd be so much fun when you hear how blatant it
is. Carla says in the interview that she had never even heard
her daughter use the name Leila before seeing it for the first
time when her suicide note was posted on Tumblr after her
death, and claims that her daughter this is the
transgendered boy had quit talking about being transgender
recently. This as she was put on medication to treat depression.
journalists of the mother effing world please go after this
story. These children are being put on antidepressants and SSRIs
SSRIs SSRIs.
I think it's just ourselves. They're serotonin thing. Yeah.
And the if you listen to any of the advertising disclaimers
about these very products. The number one disclaimer is it
might give you some thoughts about committing suicide.
And no one as we've talked about, and we've had many clip
on the show about how it also relinquishes the common sense
that you might have thoughts about suicide, but you you lose
the common sense not to actually do it.
Exactly. Exactly. And I'm just what's the
reason I shouldn't do it, I boom.
The only thing I haven't seen yet is the lawyers for the
pharmaceuticals that show up who want you know, oh, we need to
have anti bullying laws in Ohio, because, you know, kids are
killing themselves. And these lawyers always present
themselves as well. I'm helping the family I pro bono, but they
all work for pharmaceutical companies. And that's their main
client.
Yes, RI serotonin selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
Yeah, it is
SSRI. So they can deflect any focus away from these horrible
antidepressants that these kids are being put on. That is why
they're committing suicide. And even Brian, the gay Crusader
didn't catch this one, we get a lot about why and when you're on
some kind of drug, that as you point out, John, actually makes
the urge to not kill yourself go away. This is what's killing our
kids.
was responsible for an awful lot of suicides.
Every single day tell you
they warn you and we played we used to the whole year of 2010.
Or I'm sorry, 2011. Because I was going over old clips again,
was nothing but these clips of people and it could cause
thoughts of suicide, call your doctor. You know, by the way,
call your doctor, try calling your doctor. Just always
bullshit. Don't call your doctor when the doctor never answers
the phone.
No. And do you have to pay for a doctor phone? Conversation? Is
my experience doing that? Remember, the doctor used to
make house? Let's not do that. Let's not go down that road.
That's no good. So like
tool farts via
newsflash.
Yeah, no, that's it. Yeah. So it's another one of these no
agenda that you know, to me, it's another classic, no agenda
meme. When you see one of these stories, it's just the drugs,
it's drugs. We don't have that many formulas to to deconstruct
these stories. At the end of the day, maybe there's 20 oil
pipelines, horrible drugs,
or actual drugs to sell to the people on the streets. You know,
there's some of that going on. It's really, really, really so
simple. Yet so frustrating. Because it's all out now. It's
just all out completely. Nobody cares. I see people who
understand that they're being hoodwinked. But they don't have
the you know, the the no agenda was a good kind of like a little
back support, you know, and you're not, you're not the only
person thinking differently. That's what I mean. Yeah, you're
not the only crazy one.
Well, you're not the only one that sees the logic. Right. And
it becomes baffling that everybody's spewing this logic.
And nobody's questioning it at all. Nobody ever asks, wait a
minute. They don't they just blow out whatever it says on the
prompter. And that's the end of it. That's bad journalism. I
mean, you can say it
was really bad. And what's really bad is this flows over
the stories into social media, then I've just, I've just given
up I'm just looking at Facebook all the time. Now. It's become
an obsession of habit study to me, and how people the comments
they make, and how these stories get around. It's sad. It's
really sad. And there's no thinking, Oh, rest in peace,
rest in peace, my rip my little transgendered beauty. The kid
was killed by the pharmaceutical industry what can I say?
Nothing, nothing at all. Let me see.
I have a couple of things that say that go off to little segue
stuff here. This happened this year, as far as I can know, last
year, and we forgot all about it to something from
the classic clips folder, the classic clips, I put them in
their own folder today, so I can well, they
came in several days.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Let's try this little ditty that does come and gone. We forgotten
all about it. This is all in February of last year because
we're trying to keep anyone from going to the Soshi winter games
because the we hate the Russians. Yes. And boons gotta
go. Oh, no. So here's one of my favorite ones. I just flipped
dice. I forgot All about this this is very funny. And of
course nothing came of it. Latest TSA threat.
warning about terrorism just as the Winter Olympics are about to
begin it involves all things.
We went this was great. I remember this came out on a
Saturday maybe just before this Sunday and this was was
everybody was shown toothpaste blowing up in cars and all this
B roll tubes
of toothpaste and the Sochi Games that start on Friday. QHPs
Patti Lee is live now at SFO she learned it has no direct flights
to Russia. So Patti given that how are passengers reacting?
Well, they are still afraid and it's mostly because if explosive
materials are hidden inside travel size to toothpaste
wouldn't take much for a determined terrorist to sneak
them on board. toothpaste tubes could be used to smuggle bombs
onto planes. That morning came from Homeland Security today.
And it's for airlines flying direct to Russia ahead of the
Winter Olympics in Sochi.
It's a type of venue where you know, terrorists kind of
gravitate to it.
Rick Smith is a former FBI agent and head of security firm Cannon
Street he worries about the safety of the Winter Games,
which terrorists have already promised to disrupt. Recently
unleashing suicide bombers in other Russian cities
are gonna require passengers to, you know, put the liquids in, in
the check luggage, they've got to adjust based on the
intelligence and unfortunately the passengers are, are
victimized by all this stuff.
Securities boarding was directed towards us carriers, namely
Delta Airlines, which runs a direct flight out of New York,
I believe the games will be safe. But we're in a very
different setting in Sochi than we were in Salt Lake City. Sochi
is a very dangerous neighborhood.
Mitt Romney today called for more information about this
specific intelligence to help the TSA airlines and passengers
prepare. But Rick Smith says it's likely on a need to know
basis
I'd like to think that there's more specific intelligence on
what they're looking for other than just a toothpaste tube
if someone could ban you know the toothpaste and it's like
scary. So yeah, I don't feel safe at all.
SFO had little to say about this terrorist warning and only that
it didn't have any information to share. So here at SFO and
airports across the world ahead of the Olympics, there's a lot
of trepidation preparation and hoping for the best live at SFO
Patty Lee KTVU channel videos are just as addictive as
cocaine.
Yeah, you know,
this was a long report.
Two minutes. Yeah. Can I can I play something to hook into
this? Okay, are just 16 And
one more.
So she says good. So as long as it's so she
okay. Yeah, this is associate clip. This wasn't if that wasn't
bad enough, if that didn't deter you from going to Sochi, because
everything was about, you know, they're killing dogs, this
haze biting days and killing dogs. I
can't remember. Yeah, there's the other one, which is the
slamming Soshi. And even
though opening ceremonies for the Winter Games are scheduled
for Friday, not everything is ready. Construction work is
still being done on several hotels and a lot of journalists
are reporting. Their rooms are lacking many of the basics such
as light bulbs, shower curtains, locks on the doors, not to
mention heat or internet access. And in places where there is
running water. We hear that it's not drinkable.
Yeah, there wasn't a hashtag so she problems or something like
that.
It was built around. I
was listening to an NPR Interview with this guy, Joe
Weisberg. Joe Weisberg consults maybe produces now the Americans
have you ever watched it sounds like something you might watch?
Actually. Yeah, I think I've seen it. It's kind of in a way
it's an it's analogous to the hot Chapman redhead Russian spy.
What was her name? Anna Chapman.
Yeah, gently.
The move to America. And the whole idea is they're, you know,
they're spies. And what he says is kind of interesting that
because he is formerly from CIA, whenever he comes up with, I
guess he's the producer, the storyline or whatever. Maybe
he's the writer. I told her gal look it up. Joe Weisberg. He has
to run it by CIA in order for them to be approved of the
storylines he's putting in there. Earlier in
my career when I was writing certain things. I did have some
trouble with this process. I for example, one time, wrote a
treatment for a show and sent it into the publication's Review
Board, which is a part of the CIA that handles this. And they
just write
that down by the way publications Review Board. Yeah,
I hadn't heard that actual name.
So now in the end, I was able to sort of make some changes and
massage and work it out with them. But over the years, I
started to figure out what types of things they have problems
with and what types of things they don't.
What do you think? And this leads into
Joe Weisberg, as I said, Weisberg, okay. And he's the
program creator.
Okay, created by. So what do you think the one thing is CIA does
not let you talk about in the shows.
Oh, you know I this kit you know this came up on a previous
episode no agenda? Yes.
Was this a Christmas show?
Everyone loved that Christmas show.
I know. I'll just play it.
I would never guess.
So the process has been very light very smooth on the
Americans.
What kinds of things would they say note?
I don't write anything about cover. Because I know from
experience that details about or about CIA covered details about
cloud covers, meaning the fake jobs that people have
exactly details about journalists, they Yes.
Journalists and public relations. That's exactly what
that's what the cover is. Yeah. Public Relations. No, no one
diplomats. Yeah. Well, the Yeah, of course, an ambassador can be
stationed chief or Yeah, diplomats. But I'd say public
relations is probably bigger, even in the journalists. Thanks.
So I think so. So this guy, this is I love it when they do this
when they just blatantly come out and tell the exact truth.
Because, you know, here we go. His story lines are being
checked, certainly, perhaps even suggest he doesn't say this
specifically. But perhaps even massaged in some way to fit
whatever is either coming up or whatever is necessary. We have
course from the Lear Foundation, we have this classic evergreen
clip, which proves that that the government is always working
with Hollywood on script.
So in the course of our work, this is in the two years 11 to
13 335 storylines that we worked on, have been aired, we've
worked with 35 networks in the past four years, 91 different
television shows.
And you'll wonder if the Americans was one of them when
you listen to this funny little banter, but it's not so funny
when it's actually the truth.
You're starting your new season after the Winter Olympics in
Russia. Is that going to be good for you as people are thinking
about Russia and thinking about this newly belligerent Putin
esque kind of pseudo Soviet Russia?
You know, the moment it struck me that I realized that that was
all coinciding, I thought it was, I thought was pretty great.
And we're gonna have some commercials on during the
Olympics. And I thought, oh, it's all coming together nicely.
It's all Putin is helping you. It's all part of a cross
promotional marketing.
I wonder all the time what Putin would think of the show, I can't
figure out the answer to that.
I think Matt, uh, huh. Yeah, just came together like that.
How Isn't it fantastic?
Yeah, timing was unbelievable. Cross
marketing campaign. Yes. To Americans,
yeah, it's on effects. That's right. I have one more clip from
that. A Philip and Elizabeth Jennings are two KGB spies, the
KGB or the FSB. There's no KGB, it's in the
it's set in the 80s. This would be KGB. And the main thing that
is so cool, the guy said, I bet on the clip of this is that
there are no cell phones. He says today, when you look at
CSI, or NCIS, or any of these shows, the scorpion and all that
stuff. There's always a cell phone involved because that is
of course, the slave tracking device that everybody has. And
that's how they always find everything. So they had to write
the storyline set in the 80s, where the more traditional where
they call it to trade craft, trade trap trap, but there is
some truth to this. Marriage and CIA KGB coming in and kind of
doing the Anna Chapman thing. One of the
things in the show that is based on historical fact that's that
seems like it might be a TV thing, but really the KGB
encouraged their officers to use sex to gain intelligence
information and perhaps most startling ly of all, you know,
there's a spoiler for anybody who hasn't seen the show. You
might want to start humming for just a second but Philip
eventually marries his asset Marsa who was a secretary to an
FBI official Exactly. And KGB illegals actually well that they
actually married women. It was called usually secretaries to
important men who they want who the KGB wanting information from
so the KGB illegal would marry the secretary without the
secretary. I mean, any idea that person was KGB illegal these
marriages lasted for years, and the men would get intelligence
from the secretary.
Why don't you told me that because I really didn't think
yeah, nice. No,
I wish we could have made that up.
And I want FSB to know I am completely open to hot sex and
change for anything you want.
FSB doesn't listen to the show. I'm pretty sure the CIA listens
to that one guy who keeps you know,
whenever we say something positive about Russia,
they'll never see the end. So I'm subtle that I don't really.
I got a hard time believing that too. Yeah. Just a couple quick F
Russia's Oliver Stone is now coming out and saying the truth
is not being told in America about Ukraine.
Since he has our model, he does exactly the same as us. But he's
he is already pre perceived as a crackpot nut,
which keeps him alive. That's how you lose. Lose you live long
in the business if they can add Oliver Stone. He's just crazy.
He used to be heralded as the genius filmmaker. Yeah. Now he's
like, he's crazy. I don't think studios even want to work with
them anymore.
Well, he's a little annoying if you've ever seen he's always on
Democracy Now. You know, and he I think he's probably hard to
work with. I could be wrong I mean, might be the easiest guy
in the world to work with. But it just seems to me that he's
not
the Lada is no longer that we talked about a lot of no longer
the best selling car in Russia. Why Kia has overtaken them as
Wow Yeah, a Ford product I might add. He is not a Ford product
isn't Kia buy made by Ford? Hyundai I'm sorry. You're right
Hyundai. Hyundai is what Japanese?
No, it's Korean on a partier
and what's falling apart the connection?
No, no you you made Jamie Jo number of errors in a row which
I find very unusual. Ford Hyundai Korea.
It shows what I know about automobiles. You don't care.
And not anymore. You can always tell what you don't care about.
I am stunned that you watch the Oregon fighting ducks.
Yes. Why? You said I should watch you said this is a game.
Now you have to watch the final game which is the on the 12th of
January will be the fighting ducks against right to fight
ducks against
Crimson Tide.
What's the Crimson Tide? Alabama? No,
I'm sorry. What am I think it is Ohio State
you made a kind of mistake is this John C. Dvorak,
Ohio State beat well, everyone just assumed Alabama was gonna
win. It's just psyche. But Ohio State which is uh, I think that
they're damned if they will possibly win this game. It would
be an abomination, but
they are they are called the Crimson Tide or is that Alabama?
That's Alabama. Okay,
what is Ohio State? What do they call back guys to the Buckeyes?
Okay. All right. I'll watch the game. It'll
be worth watching when he's very hyped.
And when does that game coming? On the 12?
Okay. Good. So I believe is Sunday night. Monday night,
Monday Night Football.
Well, you know, you call me on Tuesday. You don't watch sports.
That's why you don't know about turducken. I mean I pay
attention to what you're saying.
No, I'm glad you watch that gave me that. That's one of the games
that game to me was a good entertaining game. Guys back and
up drops the ball is there's a lot of fun stuff.
And but just I'm telling you the TV production outstanding. And
did I see this like hot little girls now in the coach's area
with headphones on the sidelines
spend these kind of female assistants? I don't know. This
is good news. And couple of them are pretty cute. Yeah,
I love me. hot babe with a headset on. Looking good.
Okay, all right. Onward.
Okay, agenda 21. The European Union has a nice video they've
made to explain the goals and what they're going to do for
climate change.
Wait a minute. This can be agenda 21 is doesn't mean
anything. It's a bits bits doesn't have any impact? It
doesn't nobody believes it? No, of course
not. There's no There's no documents or anything. Not at
all. It's a cute, it's a cute animated video. And it really is
meant to get you ready for the resilience actions we will be
needing to take in the European Union. If you I mean, if it
wasn't enough for you to be in total austerity. We'll talk
about Greece in a moment. If it wasn't enough for you to have
GMOs coming in. If it wasn't enough for your banking sector
to be taken over by Brussels. Well, now listen to this.
Are you worried about your future? Yes. And is climate
change one of your concerns top of the list? How about we tackle
all these problems at the same time? Yes. Yes, it's possible.
But that's why the European Commission has proposed new
climate and energy targets up to 2030.
This music is killing me. This is meant for imbeciles really
by firstly cutting harmful greenhouse gas emissions by 40.
percent below 1990 levels, with the ultimate goal of reducing
them by at least 80%. By 2050. Does this sound a bit ambitious
to you? Well, we've already lowered our emissions by 18%
Since 1990, while our gross domestic product has grown by
45%. So even if fighting global warming is a real challenge,
it's an opportunity for our economy as well. First of all,
it will be good for competitiveness and innovation.
Many sectors will develop quickly in the coming years,
such as sustainable construction, clean transport,
energy efficient products, renewable energy,
this is such a scam of such huge proportions. But I have to say
if you need to create something that will just make an economy
even who cares if it's based on bull crap, this is all going to
happen. Right? There's going to be sustainable and I'm not
buying that. Why not? If the if there's steam if your stimulus
coming from the government to well, maybe Yeah, to build to
build sustainable things with subsidies everywhere for green
energy and all this. That does create an economy and a version
of Yeah, but it's vapid. I mean, it can't last because
eventually, it'll just be, you know, the House of Cards. I
think,
for instance, green jobs already increased from 3 million in
2002.
John, you got a green job.
Love a grilling green thumb
to 4.2 million in 2011. This 4
million bull crap jobs, people doing something green? It's
good, it's good.
And that's just the beginning. Secondly, by favoring renewable
energy and energy efficient solutions, we also reduce our
dependence on imported energy with this oil import bill, which
is 1 billion Euros per day. The EU is not alone in taking
climate action. Many countries are on the same track. But
Europe is clearly leading the way from now until 2020. At
least 20% of the EU budget will be spent on climate action.
There you go.
Climate Action 20% of the EU budget. This is Bonanza that's
around
180 billion euros. So tackling climate change means business.
Yeah, good business. Yeah. And it's everybody's business 2030
goals for climate and energy. Europe is showing the way
towards a safe and prosperous low carbon future for our planet
and our economy.
There you go. 180 billion euros
good money Jah
and then there's a complaint about the Koch brothers. Yeah,
no, those guys are outspending the 100 and 80 billion euros
from the EU Sure sure. outspending him out it's a
really good article I read about and this has been irking me for
a while and I really want to get into that this acidification of
the oceans this the oceans
are 30% more acidic right.
As compared to what is the question
then whatever.
All of this data the n o a National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration apparently they their chart where which they
show this acidification which means that carbon dioxide is not
able to get out past the greenhouse gas blanket and
therefore is going into the ocean and causes acidification
of the ocean.
Yeah, making carbonated water.
Interesting. Why don't they just say carbonated Why did they say
acidified carbonated water is acidified? It's a
but it sounds so much like acid like battery acid or
Yeah, it does. Yeah. But it what it is, is Coca Cola.
Good. Well, this is good diet coke. The charts they use only
started in 1988. And this is just another version of data
falsification. And they do have data from at least 100 years
earlier than that, but they're not showing that because then
the hockey stick doesn't work so well. So I'm looking at I'm
looking into finding more ways to debunk this acidification
bull crap.
I don't understand why all the algae which there's tons of in
the ocean and all the other plants don't suck up all that
co2 That's never been explained to me.
Yeah, I really don't. I really don't know
And then we have this huge algae blooms, which seems to me to
really require a lot of co2 and they'd suck it all up. I don't
get it. Well according to the head and what do they mean by
acidification total acid or Ph? I'm
going to read the relevant paragraph. According to Jane
Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. It is, quote, climate change is equally evil
twin, unquote. Because of the disastrous consequences it may
have for everything from the navigational systems of spawning
salmon to the health of coral reefs. Ocean acidification is
said to be carved when excess atmospheric carbon dioxide is
absorbed by the sea, reducing its pH levels to make it more
acidic.
Look it up at science.
Well, I'm on kind of a mission now because this is this being
thrown in my face more often.
Because I was I see it too and I
it's annoying that we don't understand. I don't understand
Sciences. I'm trying to
you're better off looking into it because you'll find out.
Exactly, both on the science stuff.
Meanwhile, big
brush Oh, this is interesting. Lou Lou Lubchenco went to St.
Mary's Academy, I Catholic girls school studying for independent
studies scholar at Colorado College. Got a BA in biology
Colorado College, which Jay's friend attended.
Is that the weed school?
I have never No. No Colorado College if you if you actually
started looking at it. It's a it's a feeder school for CIA,
diploma, diplomats, it's a feeder school. It's like
Berkeley is secretly Ah, so this is questionable right off the
bat. She didn't go to graduate school University of Washington,
which helps a little go that she already has. She got an M S and
zoology. Then moved to Cambridge where she completed her PhD in
75 Marine Ecology at Harvard are deserting this and once you get
on the track, you can go to your when when would she send to the
school? And when she
nominated? When was she brought into? No, do you get nominated
for that? Just get hired NOAA is that uh, do you have to go
through some kind of thing?
I don't think so. I think you just get hired. Wow.
Another gig I'll never get.
No, no, you won't get the voice over either. It'd be a guy who
says chef, Chef, Chef. Let's say it wasn't even that.
She's Interesting. Yeah, I'll look into her. This is what I
love doing this. By the way this is I do live for this kind of
this kind of thing. Alright, onward to the euro zone Euro
land. Big news. As we go towards the snap election, when is this
thing due? This Greek election is coming up the 25th I think
yes, this month. Yeah, I think it's the 25th of may just check.
Yeah, January 25. And according to the polls, which means
nothing the the anti austerity guys looks like they're now
ahead three to one. And, and their platform is screw the EU.
Screw austerity screw the loans, we're not going to do it
anymore, which would ultimately result in a possible default.
And the the word is back the Grexit. The Greek exit from the
eurozone. Angular Merkel is all over the
German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes the Eurozone could cope
with a potential Greek exit according to the magazine dish
Fiegel. It says her government considers a Greek goodbye almost
unavoidable. If Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is replaced in
power by the left wing Syriza party in this month's election.
This will be quite interesting to watch. And
I think they've been anxious to get rid of Greece. They lie they
fit cook the books, they don't give them the right numbers,
they're unreliable has a partner in the EU. They want to get rid
of them. Right. And it's all geared up for them getting
tossed in the make him suffer for a while. And then I would
think that you're probably correct now that all the assets
have already been distributed. Remember that that corporation
that came in to sell off all the assets, boom, I forget the name
of it. But just like Berlin, East Berlin when they opened
they tore down the wall. Then they had these companies come in
and all of a sudden, all the cool stuff that you really want
is in hands of Russians, including the the oil
facilities, gas facility. These may I don't think it matters to
them anymore. Like ask who those guys will write it off. But what
what did go to Greece has options? Do they go back to the
to the drachma? Did they
just become a, you know, a country? Right. Yeah, the
drachma and their own central bank and that you have to pick
up the pieces is going to be a mess.
Yeah. Probably should go visit if it's going to be so messed
up. We should go check it out.
We should think it'd be cheap. It would be fun. Well, things
are moral
already are cheap. I think we've missed that boat.
Now. Well. Greek Greece is doing fine before this all began.
Yeah.
Thank you Goldman Sachs.
But they were lying. on their, on their on their paperwork.
The guys who were who did the deals with Goldman, were lying.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I know. But I find it. This has been on our radar. For
years, we've seen all this happen. We've seen we've
continuously said the whole thing is bullcrap. And the tried
the trifecta of the Commission, the IMF, and what's the third
one?
World Bank? USA ID? I don't know. I don't know. So I got a
letter anonymously. From a guy who used to work at CNN. And
this is a note said concerning the President's you have this
note? Yes, I did it during the President's statement about self
censorship, which we discussed on the show, which takes place
commonly with journalists. And this was him talking about Sony,
and warning that we should as a country, particularly
journalists, not start any self censorship. Right? And I said,
this is bullcrap. Because the terrorists wind and the
terrorists when the terrorists when would do if do you have a
TSA I used to work at CNN in May 2005, we broke the Great
Firewall of China story. This was that Yahoo, Microsoft,
Google, were helping China censor the Internet for its
people. This was when Google said don't be evil. And were
reportedly holding back anonymous search engine data on
pedophile searches from the US government. Yeah, my favorite,
almost seems fictional at this point, knowing what we know. So
the story was the T one story on cnn.com Top story on the site.
And T one.
Yeah. And they were rolling it every 15 minutes on the air,
right? Yeah. And on
the ticker of every CNN channel, they talked about it every 15
minutes, within 24 hours, it was stripped from the site and
programming, from the internal journalist software and even
from the Wayback Machine. How do you do that?
I don't know if you've met his Wayback Machine or the actual
archive.org. It has
to be gotta be, he has to be referring to the way back. I
think it could be wrong. rumor was that China would close our
bureau in Beijing if we did not pull the story. Another hist
unpopular.
That's not that's not really self censorship that is
blackmail, or coercion. At best.
Well, I think this is what I think Obama's referring to this
too when he's pitching. Another unpopular history item was the
op ed in the New York Times from Easton Jordan in 2003. The news
we kept to ourselves, quote unquote, he used to be a CNN
bureau chief in Baghdad hard to tell how much of it was true.
But it was timely. In that it was written shortly after Wu
gave Saddam his ultimatum. Same thing but better. Same theme,
but better details. If that is true, and it is indeed his real
name. Maybe the two maybe he also has a second source of
income. Wink wink nudge nudge. So anyway, the point is, is that
self censorship lives censorship lives censorship.
Well now Yeah,
yeah, man, extortion lives.
We have Unfortunately, neither here at the show. No, we don't
have enough. No blackmailing. No extortion. I'm merely taking by
we're just saving the world one person at a time.
And I hope the people out there appreciate our work. Yeah.
Yeah. I was looking at people who have done this in the past,
I would say, do you remember John Lennon when he and Yoko put
up those signs on Time Square? No, yeah, this was not long
before he was killed. They had Love is the answer. There's a
whole Yoko Ono plastic band all you're saying is give peace a
chance. Imagine of course was exactly about this. But he
started to put his money and start saying I'm putting my
money into making peace and love and and I think that's when they
say let's get Chapman to go Killam
well Chapman did seem like a MK Ultra. There's
a lot of evidence pointing towards that. So yes, but what
you were referring to is correct. There was absolutely no
way that we could be doing the show if we ran by any of the
traditional models, which is why we have your donations.
I'm gonna show my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that and
figured might as well do it now. It's going to be short. Yeah, we
have a short segment here. Let's begin with the one I read
already accidentally Alex from Montevideo, Uruguay who wants to
remain anonymous, because of all the Uruguayans I guess. On
$11.11 Thank you, sir. We needed some karma requests for candy.
We'll put that at the end. Do that for sure. As a wrong one.
Don't mention my name. Sorry that always says Don't mention
my name. This is not karma. We did the karma. Cameron died $100
from Houston, Texas. First time donor he requested the douching
little bit of devolution at the end for sure. Austin vos in
Calgary, Alberta $100. LG. Why? Candace Hart in Austin, Texas.
Oh Nein. Nein Nein. And she has a birthday present for her
boyfriend Nick cosi. Oh, his birthday was January 2. I'm
sorry for being late. I would love to send him some job karma.
We'll put that at the end. Just before the birthday thing.
And a one time at band camp. I'll do the band camp. If When?
When a girl is asking for Bandcamp for her man. I mean,
come on. Yeah, definitely. And that's so amazing. Okay, good.
We'll do that. Marco
Strauss in Ithaca, New York. He's got 500 Set dollars and
seven cents total 9669 on this one. He has the worst the year
forever. We can use him karma. Lost a girlfriend still.
He's a country song man. This guy lost my dog lost my
girlfriend. Job. Hey, I'd say things are looking up man. Good
start for the new year. Who needs all that?
Dame Beth Bora Zan in Tucson Arizona 888. Adam, why would the
Wall Street Journal run a story about AirAsia flying unapproved
route if not to offer an explanation for the apparent
booboo?
Yeah, this is this is now all of a sudden some story that seems
to be important, but it's not you know, it's not like an
approved route. All of that was approved the flight plan
everything was filed. It's just they don't the government
doesn't want that to fly that often. But it doesn't mean that
it has any bearing on the accident at all. And by the way,
this plane came apart on the way down.

I'd say. CHIARA is the guard.
Okay, sounds good. Yars guard cars guard and finally Jason

regular store Mark chin Tanner from Whittier. California.
That's concludes our list. I
have two phone shows 684 I have one. You see, this is from Sir
Kyle Kinzel my donation of $50. Oh, he said 682. I already wrote
him. Oh, and we good.
Yeah. Well, you talked about Don't you remember the guy that
he wants to think that'd be blasting out over the we
do we do the douchebag call up?
I don't know we did the douche bag call out but well we can do.
Oh no, we did. That was the chairlift operator. You're right
on the chairlift operator. I
called out on the Yes, speakers. You remember it? Yes. It was
funny story.
I remember. I remember. Then I have a check. This was
interesting. This came to the house with a Christmas card with
a $250 check which I'll send to you says no agenda show on it.
So I guess I can't cash that. Can I
send it to me? It's fine. Well, yeah. And it's from like 339 l
Cirino. California. may get no agenda show bucks. 339 l Cirino.
California is where we were checks. Go.
And this is from the big ass blonde. Do you remember her?
I think she's making a Passat. Yeah. Well, I
hope so. She is currently living on an island in the Pacific.
What? Yes. I'm not allowed to say what? Get your address.
We met her at the meetup before we did the Hot Pockets tour. She
was because she's from San Antonio. She came up and do you
remember? Did you notice she's? She's an insider man.
I vaguely remember. Yeah.
And she's big as blonde is exactly what she is fantastic.
And she invites us to come to her Island.
Okay, what Island is this?
I'm not allowed to say, Oh, I'm gonna go and kill me later. I
will most definitely tell you later. She
own a whole island. No. She has a place on an island. Yes. Okay.
Let's just
say she's stationed on an island. Does that help? Oh,
yeah. Wow. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't remember
the whole story about the biggest blonde anyway, I will
put her as a Associate Executive Producer for today's show. Check
came I get it's been going it's actually sent it to our old
address and they got forwarded so I'm glad we got it. Thank you
everybody. Even though it's a short list, and we do have a
show coming up on Thursday, of course more deconstruction more.
Oh, I don't know proper journalism is what we'll try to
do proper. Proper channels. We really tried hard to
avoid.org/and that is on.
Bandcamp I stuck a flute my pussy jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for job.
And her head is gone. Yay.
Here's the list. Candace Hart says Happy Birthday to her
boyfriend and cosi. cosi celebrated on the second sir.
Kiss Starnes has Happy Birthday to his daughter, Lauren Smith.
She's celebrating on the fifth of January and Magewell.
Glover's says Happy Birthday to Lou Garcia. 42 years old today.
Happy birthday from all your friends here at the best podcast
in the universe.
Bring out the swords right away. We've got a knighting. Very nice
to see Steve bottoms. Joining us here and get them up on the
podium.
The bottoms Thank you very much for your accounting and for your
long support of the best podcasts in universe the amount
of $1,000 or more therefore we introduce you as a new member to
the no agenda roundtable and like the SIR old IT guy, please,
sir, for you hookers and blow rent boys and Chardonnay, Saki
and sushi bear and pepperoni pizza pokers in Mali, whiskey
and wet wipes. We got pappy Van Winkle bourbon served by
Oktoberfest frown lines. And of course, as always the ever
popular
mutton in need. Steve go to no agenda nation.com/rings. And
please tweet us when you receive your ring. You're sealing wax,
the certificate, etc. Yes,
with a picture. Yep.
Very cool. We like that a lot.
Just upload right there. Ah, well, I was you know, as you
mentioned, this journalism was journalism. What's good, what's
bad. I know one thing for sure that I would agree with
everybody on, which is if you ask a question. Yeah. And then
the guy goes off the deep end doesn't answer the question in
any way, shape or form. It seems. It behooves the
journalist to say that wasn't the question I asked. I want to
answer the question. Nobody ever does that especially in the
White House or the Defense Department or this poor
Department of State because you will be disinvited, you won't be
able to go back. So this is the way that works, right. So I
found a couple of classics from two 1000 I think 11 this is the
this this there's two clips. One is the amazing BS or attribution
question. Now, this one, the woman asked a very
straightforward, very interesting question and the guy
doesn't What does one of those, you know, trick aerations? Well,
you know,
what's really important? The question you should be asking
is,
it's not that quite, it's not quite that blatant. But it's
might as well be and this guy is one of the I think, is the State
Department and one of the tech experts talking through his hat
making stuff up as he goes along with just a ridiculous answer.
Or if I'm going to push back on you just a little bit on the
attribution question, which you don't see is that big a
challenge, I guess, if I bought a laptop with cash, and I
created malware, and I stripped all the identifiers out of it.
And I then traveled to a foreign city. And I went into an
internet cafe with unsecure Wi Fi, and I launched my malware,
and I then erased my disk. And I dumped that computer in a
dumpster. That malware in that one computer could be enough to
bring down the critical infrastructure of a city. Could
you track me down? Could you find me? So let me
let me answer your question by actually tying into something
that a general was talking about. I think we forget that
times of conflict are generally a great catalyst for
technological and organizational advancement. We saw the
emergence of the concepts of air land battle, for example, coming
out of World War One developing through World War Two through
the Cold War, we had Teflon as a consequence of the space age. I
think the main innovation coming out of the last 10 years, the
global war on terror has been a revolution in the way that we
apply intelligence in warfare. Leftenant General Michael Flynn,
currently the head of the DIA, but previously director for
intelligence with JSOC, in Afghanistan and in Iraq, said
that I think quite presciently in the 21st century in the cyber
era, intelligence and information are maneuver and
fire, the ability to be able to generate data from vast
distributed services, to aggregate it to correlate it, to
share it effectively to create actionable items is a huge
advancement, which was responsible for, for example,
the ability to interdict IED networks in Iraq before they
were able to form. Okay, that's kind of cross disciplinary,
right morphic analysis made possible by the fusion of data.
Wait a minute, hold on, Tanya, roll this back. This is a good
one, the polymorphic watch,
analysis cross
disciplinary. This is good, this is good. I'm gonna write this
down. This is good.
For able to form. Okay. Okay. Same kind of cross disciplinary
polymorphic analysis made possible by the fusion of data,
and analytical systems and
cross disciplinary polymorphic. I gotta use this.
It's a good one. polymorphic I take it back this Defense
Department,
which was responsible for, for example, the ability to
interdict IED networks in Iraq. Okay, okay. That same kind of
cross disciplinary polymorphic polymorphic analysis made
possible by the fusion of data and analytical systems is
exactly what we solve the problem of attribution made
possible by
will solve the problem of attribution, great man who had
bought the computer but with cash. It's dropped some malware
into the public domain and then dumped the computer could be
found out anyway, because of cross discipline polymorphic
analysis, they figure it out.
There's one thing missing something in the end cross
disciplinary polymorphic analysis made possible by the
analytics to solve
the problem of attribution or the analytics.
This is fantastic. I'm just gonna say this to people
made possible by the use of data and analytical systems is
exactly what would solve the problem of attribution fusion
of data
and analytical systems
analytical systems will solve will solve the problem the
problem of attribution
Great question. That's not a great question.
Wow. That guy should actually what we're dealing with
that guy should be shot. I think we just take them out back shoot
this guy.
Yeah. This is what we're dealing with is why we can make no
progress in this country. This is why the budget for the
military has gotten so high because of this guy. And
everybody just start booing him. This just started booing and
throwing paper balls at him. The Ah, wow. Well, he does another
little one, you know, there's more. There's one little one.
All right. And this is the BS artist part two.
I shall take a listen to this because as you know, the cross
disciplinary polymorphic analysis made possible by the
analytics of the fusion of data and art analytical systems, who
solve the problem of attribution.
I would say I think the enduring lesson that comes out of STUXnet
and Olympic Games is that it proved once and for all that you
can weaponize cyberspace and treat it as if it was any other
weapons platform, meaning that there is propagator code that
deliver code which is targeted to effect only one certain place
onto target. I think it's nonsense to talk about
cybersecurity without thinking about it. In terms of offense
and defense, when we train our infant tears and send them on
peacekeeping missions, they're not going to be moving
backwards, they're trained in advanced a contact as well as
defensive, we need to be thinking in terms of cyber in
exactly the same kind of way, because cyber weapons are
largely defined in terms of legal liability, what you're
talking about who they affect what they affect. And because
code gives us the ability to actually make that quite
precise, again, Olympic Games, I think, proves that. I think it's
a reality that we have to get over.
Oh, my goodness. What Who is this guy from?
I believe this was a Defense Department guy, and I'm gonna
have to now he must be,
but he's not in the defensive guy. He's a sales guy. He's got
to be a sales guy.
Now. I think he's wanting to win the public relations tomorrow.
They have like 10,000 people. Okay, Bill, your turn go up
there. And wow, wow, I don't know. I've got now I gotta do
some research and find out. I think it'd be fun. And we should
just build doing it is obviously still having the same phony
baloney pitches.
Maybe we can just create a website that makes it look like
we have a real company just put this kind of crap in there.
Yeah, just take. There's plenty of websites like that.
I know. But it will be ours. And we can take something. retainer,
retainer, payments, retainer sounds good. And then we'll just
do you know, we can stay at home we can do? What does that go to
meeting? And, you know, it's a John. John, what do you think,
now that you've looked at the cross disciplinary polymorphic
analysis?
Well, I'm telling you, I finally come to the conclusion that this
cross discipline is going to make it possible with a fusion
of both datas systems of big data, big data, big data, is
going to allow us to analyze to the point where we can actually
find the man doing the coding in the country that he's at, as he
codes and the real time, because there's attributions available
to us now that we have analytics. And even
if they strip out all of the identifiers, we still can't find
the propagation code or put our own propagation code in, to have
the attribution fallbacks through the cloud based system
that we well
that we're in stripping out the identifiers, as they don't know
all the identifiers. It's, I think the analogy is the VIN
numbers on automobiles, there's two of them that are hidden, and
there are plenty of hidden attribute to attribute attribute
data to you falling apart on the pitch. Sorry, there's plenty of
other alternative attribution data within any code. That's of
any size, just, in fact, if for example, if I save a Word
document, there will be my name. Yes. And I could do this.
Yes, exactly. This is a great analogy for for you people here
in the room as clients, John, please continue.
So it is always possible to get the attribution is never
completely destroyed. And then there is the signature. Now the
signature may be the absolute easiest way to find attribution,
everybody codes differently. And you run an analytical program on
top of the code. And you can pretty much identify the person
who wrote the code because everybody writes a little
different, like, it's exactly the same as handwriting
recognition is
completely the same. And we would like to start you off with
our, with our doom, Viking IP, identify our cloud service,
which runs 50s.
It's only $15,000 A month $10,000 plus dollars a seat
and we have and we have a setup fee, obviously, but that's no
bright but our team I'll be there for will I will personally
be on site with the team integrating during the meetings.
Of course, we have our hand off and then we have our people who
will continue.
Yeah, well, we do need an office on site
because we do not want a Sony thing here. You know what I'm
saying? I mean, come on. Come on. Sony do it. One word, one
word. One word few people, Sony, Sony, and REG it and Reagan
Reagan. Reagan.
Regine
is Reagan, I've actually got the official pronunciation Reagan,
Reagan.
I think we'd probably work on a pitch and probably have one
down. If we had just a matter of days, if we had a PowerPoint, if
we had some PowerPoint, and some PowerPoints, click, they click
five slides. More than that as you push,
and then we'll show as our credentials will show all of our
challenge coins. Whereas metals,
we can't say we worked on these projects, because you can see
why because we will, it's pretty obvious that we're,
we don't honestly thrown in the brig, you know, you gotta be
careful. We could do it, and we can do it to backup. Hey, I just
want to talk briefly because I had the same response you did
about this picture that starts showing up of supposedly, at the
Pakistan school massacre. There was a picture that was used as
one of the faces of the kids who was killed who was one of the
Sandy Hook kids, and I saw that photo unlike Photoshop to me
immediately. I didn't buy it at all. However, the thing that's
interesting is that this is now showing that the BBC is showing
footage with the same pictures in it. And there's some website
what is it a world at school which I think is a USA ID
sponsored thing? Well,
there you have it.
Yeah, we're old at school. What we do and they're using the
picture on their website, it's a kind of a what is it? Like a
composite of a whole bunch of dead kids? Yeah. What do you
think? I mean, I have a hard time believing that that that
the picture wasn't photoshopped in is it's all it's kind of hard
to even prove one way or the
other I guess. Well, they had that wall they showed a picture
with a kid on the wall Yeah, that's the one that was that
would take all the effort of printing the picture that kid
onto a piece of paper and gluing it onto the wall. That's a lot
of work and then having to BBC person coming afterwards and
then putting another poster over it so it covers up a little bit.
Yeah, no, there's no way this is bullcrap this this is this is
just reeks of bull crap but all the all the sites you know your
usual suspects are all over it and as this is to me it's real
it's this is to me is the is the marginalization of alternative
Yes,
this is exactly what you're exactly what you wrote in the
newsletter it's exactly what it is.
Yeah, it's to make every but everybody in the same pot all
these guys are nuts.
And I'll take it one step further. I believe these things
are introduced specifically for that reason and look at where
it's coming from.
Yeah, right the sources Exactly yeah, if people want to look at
to see who the sources are you go and do a search on that
picture and then look for the recent posts and you'll see this
you know the free Republic prison planet two or three of
these other guys that are always you know all in with any anti
government propaganda to make everybody did what is really
this is marginalize all the alternative sources of
information that might be very accurate
and that is the mission
yes the mission they're probably front one more that are just do
just you have to make up your mind what are they? Are they
doing it on purpose are they doing it just sell seeds What
are they doing it for? They do it unquestionably they don't
even they don't even really suggest it's a hoax
to me. It's been done it's being done to a discredit alternative
forms of media and I've received this email and links about this
over and over and over again. I'm pleased people think for a
second here
is really I'm always disappointed with no agenda
listeners who at least with any standing in other words, they've
seen this in the show more than two shows. Yeah. Send stuff like
that in. Yeah. A remote dude gave one one of the sites they
also had the story, which I don't have a clip original clip.
But one of the site one of the sites it was think it was
liberty, something. Anyway, they had another story of the mom who
turned in the kid and this isn't Snopes. This doesn't take a
genius to figure out this is bullcrap. The mom who turned in
Texas again, I think mom turned in her kid for masturbating
under a new Texas law against self rape.
Wait a minute, what no ID law is this. Yeah, well,
that's the point. There's no law. It's both wrap, but they
play it straight. Let's see you can find it
shouldn't be too hard snakes elves and rape. Yeah, Christians
right.
You find it on the net not on Snopes, Rob says okay.
Christians warned that Christians are also queer at.com
Christians warned against self rape. Mom call here it is
YouTube it's a YouTube video to mom calls 911 own son boy
charged with new cell rape law. Self rape on change.org Yeah,
that's everyone masturbate somebody's changed.org
Really they fall for this? Yeah, it's pretty sad on a second let
me find this.
Oh it is Arizona it was Arizona self rape law if you type in the
search I did just self
Yeah, got it. This is a video that goes with this. Let's see
what the video says the video comes in 58 seconds so that
should be good. All right. What's this pad? Oh, hold on.
What happened? Oh, man, what happened here? I know it's not
playing.
I hear some Yeah, no,
you don't hear it right. Hold on. What the hell happened
there? Oh, I'm sorry. It's playing to the speaker. It's not
okay, everything's frozen.
You can't do anything on that Mac. It's not funny. You want to
stop the
taping. Oh, no, no, no, no, I just want to get this going.
Just take a second
look. Here's an interesting one. This is actually on PubMed I
have it
if you want to take a second Yeah, when I hear that okay, it
was playing through the regular speaker it's my fault okay. But
it's an something's happening with the mouse it's getting
stuck. I don't understand why.
Probably some some is loading on your machine.
A Phoenix boys behind bars tonight turned in by his own
mother state.
Oh, what is this crap? Is this like change other words own news
report or something? Lame.
13 year old boy has been jailed without bail after his mother
called 911 When she found him in his room watching porn and
masturbating. 911 What's your emergency? Masturbating
please. And help now, bull is not real quick
to respond arresting the 15 year old. Now the teenager is being
charged by prosecutors under a new controversial Arizona State
law called this
completely fabricated. This story is bullshit.
I think is I think is this just it's alarming. Yes, it would
fabricate the 911 call was poorly done.
Let's put it that way. Well, oh, man, I'm worried about this. And
just hope we get to the end of the show. All right. close that
out. Who knows what's going on? Ah. Back to that NPR interview
with the President. He did something very unexpected when
asked about the terrorists and on
the international front, even as we're managing ISIL and trying
to roll them back and ultimately defeat them even as we've been
executing the drawdown in Afghanistan in a responsible
way.
Why is he not saying dash No, no. Why is he back to ISIL
everyone's using dash
No, they're not Yes. The State Department
the Pentagon they're all using dash you remember we had all
these clips?
Yeah, but okay. And maybe I don't know. If everyone's
I'm just trying to figure out maybe yes, or Obama usually. But
they need to brief both of them I know these are things that
bother me I'm sorry. I don't know.
Is a bother here's a bothers me is a clip. Well, back to the
other thing by the way, there is multiple personality self rape.
And is that is that illegal? No. It's
not illegal. It's just a condition. Apparently with
people that are nuts. I
think I've suffered from that from time to time.
I like you hand my Greg flay this one noose this really is
wow. New Shanghai boat port new Shanghai port.
We stay in Shanghai where the city is starting the fourth
phase of the Yong chan deepwater port. The port handling capacity
will reach 6.3 million containers by 2017. When it's
complete, the fourth fate will adopt the latest automatic
system to manage the port. The advantage of an automatic system
will allow a larger capacity of containers. And after the
completion of the fourth phase the Shanghai port will have an
annual capacity of 40,000,020 foot unit It's the standard unit
for describing a ship's cargo carrying capacity. The number
will be the annual production rate of the entire United States
sharing 1/10 of the world's annual rates. Wow.
So this one's more serious. Yeah.
That's, that's nasty. Yeah. These guys are serious about
destroying us.
Does this fit in that Russia is going to build a new high speed
railway between Moscow and Beijing?
I don't know. Probably this is everything seems to be
connected. Then we know about the high speed rail running the
sales route?
Yes. All the way all the way on to been to Europe. Yeah,
they can get the crap out of China. And this country is not
even at full employment.
Where Shanghai Shanghai is up
and on the coast, more or less
in relation to Beijing where she
is on this? I think it's on the same parallel.
Let me just take a look at the map. Because this railroad
they're talking about, which I guess would be part of the New
Silk Road.
Pretty manufacturing centers of China are not in Beijing. No,
no, but we know that this it's, it's always Oh, yes. And it
would be great for everyone who lives in Beijing, but we know
it's bullcrap. It's all about the goods that they can ship.
Let me see Shanghai is there.
It's very short ride, by the way. Very short. airplane ride
from Vancouver. Really? Yeah, I would recommend people if you
live in Vancouver, I just go to Shanghai for the weekend.
Really? Yeah. I mean, this is interesting. Honey, let me see.
From that have really from Vancouver. Oh, I see. Yeah, of
course.
I've taken that route as like, it's very short, right? It's
shorter, but shorter than going to London. It's like, I think
it's six, seven hours from beginning Coover six maybe.
Okay.
We had a Twitter conversation I said you should you had a
Twitter conversation I was along for the ride. And whenever I
said something, no one responded. So I guess I'm
blocked with Mark Cuban. So it's interesting Mark Cuban has been
out and about saying the way to mostly saying the big crisis is
the student loans. And if you want to fix the economy, limit
the amount of basically free money that government is handing
out to students to so that more more money can go into the
economy. I think that's kind of what he said. And and then there
was this conversation about the endowments and how much money
these universities really have, which is just hundreds of
millions of dollars. billions, billions built not 100. But
elite. Harvard is 30 billion
billions of dollars. And although I'm not sure if Cubans
thesis is correct, that it will change anything, I dug up this
quick background or on what has happened since the government is
now securing these loans for students.
We now have the federal government has monopoly ever
direct student loans, he used to have loans that private banks
and lenders have put out and to be guaranteed by the federal
government starting in July 2010. Thanks language that those
in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, which was
part of the Obamacare law, the federal government only loans,
the money directly to students said that $806 billion are loans
that the federal government has made for students to go to
school. That's money owed to the US Treasury.
800 billion.
Yeah. Wow. Well, they'll get it back. Unless Unless, of course
you volunteer for
service waves. You can't ever own a home or do anything
they're supposed to do, right. We had a guy's about 30 years
old, he was working in media is one of the operators of the
Tricaster and some other stuff. What's his name? Yeah, that guy.
And I said, So where do you live? Is it somehow in the
conversation? He says, he's, this guy's like, 30. Late 20s.
At least he's living Yeah, he's bitching about somebody
submission, but his roommates, plural. There's four, three or
four guys living in this small place. It he's moaning about
acid, munchies. Get your own places. I can't afford it. I got
to why so student loans. Apparently all the money he made
an MVNO had to go to pay off his loans. Yeah. And he just didn't
have any money. And this goes he says, I don't know when I'm ever
going to pay it off.
Well, this is like all the kids in LA who are Christina's
friends. They none of them want to be on a real payroll job.
They want to do all kinds of gigs, I guess you'd call it
because the minute they Get on some kind of payroll they show
up. That's when the government comes in to take the money back.
Yeah, but they just want you know, they just want little gigs
freelance type stuff, goofing around.
My advice to these kids. You're down in LA, there's a lot of
opportunities down there for what I'm going to describe.
Okay, fake social security number and false ID with a
different name. You can get the social security number for some
dead guy, whatever the case is, start using that and then you
can make some money and then the what's the worst that can
happen? You get busted for false identity. And this is what is
that going on? Man?
I don't know that can't that can't be good, I think might be
bad. But at some point,
you can flip it, flip it and go I'm gonna be myself again, a
ditch all the other characters
from the odd multiple people, the obvious out is go into
government service. That's how they you know, do you do what is
it five years, then 30% of your loan goes away? If you do it for
10 years, 50% of our land goes to work
for the government for the rest. Well, just a bad gig. Yeah,
yes, that would be correct. Exactly. Right.
Except you have to work with douchebag managers. Like the
government worker, the classic bad manager is in the
government. This is pretty much a known fact.
What is coming up this week, John, what is? What are we going
to be looking for? When does everyone get back in session? Is
that coming up? Because I'm so tired of nothing going on? I
mean, I need some legislation to read. I need some.
It's been terrible. And I think as the show is suffering, let's
see.
Oh, I wouldn't let that. Well.
Okay. But that's not really suffering legislative. We always
have good stuff. Let us state legislature
I know in Austin to get back. The legislature is coming back
this coming week. I met a I met a lobbyist the other day.
I think they're coming back just in time to switch over to the
new guys.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And there's a lot of stuff that has to be
done.
Gotta be this month. Some point. Maybe the next few weeks
will be happening. This was kind of funny to see. We have new
committees and new people running it. We talked about
that. Douchebag from Texas. Boo. What's the name her? Did you
ever look into him will hurt? Yeah.
I've been meaning to
Congressman Devin Nunez. I presume you pronounce it. And
you any as Nunez who is from California, Republican. He's the
he will be the incoming chairman of the Intelligence Committee.
And he announced that Jeff shocky will be the new staff
director of the committee shocky is a lobbyist for Academy.
Light. Yeah. Wow.
His firm. Not a huge one. But as
these guys going, they went as the legal guys out. Yeah.
Probably I don't know.
His firm earned $80,000 in 2014. Not much now. It's a small time
but still he's he's going to be staff director of the
intelligence committees guarantee that
the money number will go up up. Yeah.
He also represent I don't know if he represents a rep must be
represented. General Dynamics. Oh, of course, our favorite Koch
Industries. North of Grumman, what's
his first name?
His name is Jeff shocky sh o CKEY. Also, there was no Matt
and Marie show there were no briefings everyone just effed
off and left us hanging.
US lobbyists and congressional staffer all his almost his
entire career has been spent either working for Jerry Lewis
representative or the former Representative Bill Lowery's
lobbying firm Copeland Lowry Jack Kaz Denton and white is in
the middle of a federal investigation. Well, that
doesn't sound right. Perfect
time to bring a guy in
allegations of corruption. Wow.
Well, there you go. It's the Republicans turn. Don't think
they're any better than the Democrats is just a shitty. Yep.
It's the elite news. Real News. Harry. What's his face? Read
Harry arena. He had a pretty bad accident. No, I didn't know
that. Yes, his face. facial bones broken. miss this. Okay,
so here's the excuse to do
your Harry Reid action and hold on. Well,
you can read it I can share it with your dog. broke his ribs
and facial bones when the piece of exercise equipment
malfunctioned. That's what they call it. exercise equipment
malfunction during a workout at his Nevada home. From what I
understand it was one of those rubber bands and the rubber band
snapped and then he fell and then something fell on top of
him, but he broke his face. If that doesn't sound right, I
think
doesn't sound right at all in most of those rubber bands, as
far as I know, not gonna go that's the case with many of
them when they break they don't break violently. No.
But even even even those things breaking I don't think I ever
really heard of that happening.
Do you think that just number of ribs and bones?
This is maybe just a message?
This is definitely a message.
Wow. Ah, but he's outgoing.
He's getting that going at it. But he's still going to be in
office? Of course.
Of course. Let's see what else Oh, you have the also just
trying to get
you can't go to a website. Look at a theory for some damn video
starts playing.
Yeah, well, you gotta use Ghostery or so one of those
blockers. Yeah,
that's interesting that Harry Reid got beat up.
The first thing I thought was a beat
down to Ghazala face and Oh, rib. Good. Couple of ribs shots
with a baseball bat and then punch, punch, punch punch with a
brass knuckles. No kneecap.
Ah. But yeah, next he is in Nevada. After all, I think I
think someone roughed him up. Yeah.
So I think it could be from some Nevada politics though. Nevada
could be local.
This International Criminal Court is back in the news again.
With the
heels we had bruising around the eyes.
Just exercise equipment. Everybody must locate
his shoulder. No, no, wait a minute. I'm sorry. This is in
2011. He also suffered major injuries while slipping and
falling in the rain while running outside his Washington
abode resulting in dislocated shoulder and a bruise around his
left I guess guys had magnet for something. Wow.
That's cool. Yeah, politics getting hard and heavy. Yeah, I
guess so. The Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas signed
the Rome Statute, which means the Palestinian Authority now is
a member of the International Criminal Court. And that will be
their idea with this of course is to take Israeli officials to
International Criminal Court. This thing is very and let us
reiterate. No one has ever been convicted in International
Criminal Court. Not sniping there's not a single case,
just a threat and one of these days. Yeah.
One of these days,
one of these days and it's gonna be some screwy. Like they're
gonna take the international court and they're gonna make it
so the Euro has to abide by it. And then they're gonna have then
the Europeans will be done. George Bush gets arrested.
I tell him you. No, I think it won't be for that. It will be
for citizens who use the internet to bully people and
maybe send you to the International Criminal Court.
Well, I don't see Dick Cheney in any hurry to go visit France
that's for sure. And then this non story which I'm surprised
everyone kept sending this Prince Andrew Jeffrey Epstein
This is two years old this story that that this Epstein had
underage girls and Clinton was there too becomes an old story.
Why is it propped up again? Why is Clinton not being named
again? He was the article I read he was named you but the
headline is Prince Andrew. Yeah, if
Bill Clinton is a good man,
yes he is. This Epstein is no good though. Man. What a douche
knuckle he's a pimp
if only everybody knew how things really really work if
only we could get some of that once in a while.
That's not gonna happen. Alright guys, that probably comes in
with a little the Harry Reid action. Yeah, we don't need
that.
I have a oh actually I do have just because it's Sunday. Are
you going up today? No.
111
on my phone
and I actually have news about a phone okay,
this is just a commercial that I that I when I saw this
commercial I heard it my ears perked up
that is part of the new commercial ATS for the brand new
Asus phone. Now, of course,
what did it say? Well, I
had to listen to it a couple times because it's going pretty
fast in the end, it's not really a standard tone optical zoom
is what that spells out. Oh, optical zoom. All right, I
found it fascinating that they use Morse code in, in a tease,
just to get the worst kind of nerd. I mean,
seriously. hams are cheap bastards. Yeah. Why would you do
three or this is to get kids go, Hey, wait a minute, this Morse
code. I can probably find a translator on I don't know, why
would they do this?
Maybe, maybe just promote the use of Morse code. This is what
you've been doing. I wish you'd been promoting it.
I got all the way to Honolulu on sideband. With a new test I'm
doing with an indoor antenna.
You're gonna get a que ESL card. Yeah, heck yeah.
Yeah. The 10 meter band has been off the hook. Conditions are
great. John skippers everywhere. Ah, all right. Give me something
to play out, man. Let's go. I'm falling. I'm falling apart here.
Well, here's the migrants on the boat story which has a number of
details I found fascinating
notes with Europe being a preferred option for some Syrian
refugees, but this inevitably puts a strain on host nations.
Italy is no processing the 360 Syrian migrants who survived a
five day ordeal aboard the cattle transporter as a deal
which had been abandoned by its crew they to recount an
incredibly difficult journey.
The as the dean lies finally in dark, the blankets of his
migrant passengers strewn across the deck, but you need to go
inside to get a proper look at the terrible conditions on
board. The as a dean is equipped to transport cattle with cages
open to the outside. 360 people crowded in here and the cold and
wet, personal belongings lie abandoned. A stairwell is
littered with rubbish downstairs the hold were many of the
travelers huddled in darkness. The crew abandoned ship mid sea,
leaving the bridge ransacked. Arriving in the south of Italy
on Friday nights the migrants were tired but relieved the
passengers old from Syria were finally on dry land. The
evacuation took more than three hours. The end of an ordeal How
was the 11 days families traveling together, many of them
with babies and ministry these
people have gone five days without eating without any
electricity. It was really grueling.
Many passengers say they're boarded in Merson and Turkey.
Human traffickers had organized the trip as a cost of several
$1,000 each. I paid $3,000 I paid 7000 Italian authorities
have now taken the migrants to be housed in welcome centers
spread throughout the country.
Wow, welcome centers man that's new world ordered doublespeak.
Yeah, that's what I'd say. And the tournament canceled or like
it whatever the case. I thought this was the most interesting
ski so you buy this probably as a salvage boat. That was a
cattle caravan. These
guys make like 2 million euros doing this.
I know they had 300 People in the $7,000 a pop that would be
I'm just I'm just reiterating Dutch news stories would tell
me it was 2 million. Whatever the case, they buy an old sell a
piece of crap, which is the cattle carry and load all these
people in for between two 3007 $1,000 ahead. And then they
all get in and then they just start shipping them across the
ocean waters a big boat. It's not like a bunch of one of these
Junkers, a little ferry or anything.
I guess it's seaworthy. And they abandon ship and said
they I guess another boat full of alongside and they all bailed
out they stole what they wanted to from the day they jump on the
boat now if they go the boats now adrift in the middle of the
Mediterranean. Actually, I heard that it
was not adrift they had an on some form of autopilot and it
was steering towards the Italian coast.
Well with no pilot nobody on it. It was I would still call that a
drift. But yeah, that makes sense. So the I guess the
Italians got wind of what was going on and got somebody on
board that stopped the damn thing was
was coming close toward the I guess, reefs or something or
whatever some rocks and I mean this is this is a story in Italy
because Willow talks about this all the time whenever we email,
especially Lampedusa. It's just it's been then people have no
idea that Netherlands is turning people away. And Italy I have to
say then they did. Okay, well, we can't let these people just
die so they keep the
Chaldeans need immigration big time. They have the worst
population numbers. They need these people there to do the
jobs that no one's can do and that are you know, they're not
having babies is a dead country. Wow. I think there's probably a
positive thing for Italy.
Do you think they're having lots of sex though? On the boat? No.
Italians on the boat, I would assume no babies
they're probably having lots of sex jars that hedonistic sex. No
baby wanted. Yeah,
this is but this is and these people are from Syria. I think
there's some mostly Syria also coming from Libya still are only
Syria must be
on how they portrayed in Syria. But then it was taking place.
This whole scam was being done in Turkey. So Turkey is somehow
behind it. Yeah, they don't want these refugees. Yeah, the
Italian is no
no Turkey. Turkey is notorious for that. Just hit Stay. Stay
there. See that line? Stay on that side of the line? No Turkey
not not really nice when it comes to that. Where's Angelina
Jolie she she's out there. She's the High Representative for the
evacuees and refugees. Now she's working
on a movie. She got the
chickenpox. Alrighty, everybody. Luckily, legislatures come back.
Things will be happening and I'm keeping my eye on Greece. I have
still have some doubts about this AirAsia I'm working on I
don't want to say anything yet, because I'm gonna sound stupid.
But this, the CEO is a little irksome. No one I mean,
no, I don't know what you mean. I have no idea what you're
talking about.
Okay, well, I'm working on some stuff, aviation stuff. And of
course, as always, we will be using cross disciplinary
polymorphic analysis made possible by the analytics of the
fusion of big data and analytical systems that will
