How many seats do you have on the plane bitch, Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. It's October 15 2009. Time for your gizmo
nation media assassination episode 139. This is no agenda
awakening the masses so they don't become extras in zombie
land too. And coming to you from the minimum security containment
selling Gitmo nation, West San Francisco, California. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's not supposed to be
raining, but indeed it is. I'm John C. Dvorak.
It was a horrible storm, and I didn't witness one bit of it.
Well, you know, wasn't that bad around here? That's the joke of
it.
Oh, San Francisco in the city itself. People said it was it
was almost spooky. There.
Were there wimps. Yeah, of course, there would have been an
inch of rain in San Francisco. There was 14 inches in the Santa
Cruz Mountains. Yeah, it's funny because we're all the action was
there's
a lot happened, John, we had snow in. I think Utah on
Minnesota. There was there's snow on the mountains of Hawaii.
Is that normal?
Global warming? What can I say?
Exactly? It's exactly what it is. And Chicago where I was for.
For a couple days. Oh, man, it got so cold. Of course, Chicago
is known for getting cold. Not this time of year, but um, it
was. We only looked at sin at Celsius temperatures but it was
below freezing. So that would be below 32 degrees Fahrenheit
overnight. And of course, you get that wind off the lake
Michigan is like Ah, okay.
who winds up going the other way? So, wait, wait, wait, I
got news. I got I got big news.
All right. Oh, by the way, before you start, I want to
mention that our producer executive producer today is
Timothy Tillman. Timothy from Midlothian, Virginia. Timothy
Tillman, executive producer of the no agenda podcast this week
of episode
139. Timothy is the executive producer put it on your resume.
Yes. And it will help you get get jobs and will vouch.
Absolutely, we'll sign anything you send us happily now so we
came back, John and guess what? We have twins. Oh, really? Yeah,
they hatched the pigeons hatched.
Okay, now let's go did you take pictures? Yeah, there's
there will be a picture in today's show notes is a picture
on Mickey's Facebook. You
have a picture of the baby pigeons. Because this was the
debate this one guy came over your place and said I there's
people have noticed and this is legendary that no one's ever
seen a baby pigeon. Yeah, well,
so for people who haven't followed along for the past four
or five months, these two pigeons keep coming back.
roosting in this window sill ledge, which is right off the
deck of the back of the containment cell here. And every
single time it's gone wrong either. We've had crows take the
eggs or they've fallen down to the ground or a combination
thereof. And I think it was you've
even killed one of the eggs. No, I didn't kill
the egg. But there was a crow had the egg in his mouth I went
shoo and then he dropped the egg on the ground. So technically,
it was a lose lose situation anyway. But I did hear and I
think this is what what is different from this time that
the city of San Francisco spreads out pigeon feed that
includes some chemical that makes them sterile. Because of
course they don't really want a whole bunch of pigeons flying
around the city which I can you know there's already enough of
them so I can kind of understand that but it's also like so what
I did is every single morning whenever the for the with this
last batch of two eggs, I would take some either muesli or
granola and I throw it out on the ledge and and these
so wait you're now admitting to being one of those horrible
people who gets paid for
it? No, but John, it was for science. And by the way, they
really liked the raisin muesli apparently that's much better
for them. And and I really got into a good relationship with
ginger because it's Fred and Ginger. Like the muesli better
Did you check to make sure it didn't have any high fructose
corn syrup? No,
no, it's it's completely organic. Yeah, sure. Yeah. And
but I had such a good relationship with it. I could
actually throw the stuff onto the ledge while she was sitting
there and on her head and she wouldn't care right. So we come
back yesterday from Chicago and I look out and the broken egg
shells are still one of them is actually still attached to one
of these two chicks. I guess they're chicks, right pigeon
chicks. And yes, we're piglets. penggiling pixelings
Pit jets.
And, and she literally shows them off to us. She's like here
and she leans back like he looks at what I got here. And then she
covers them up again. And this morning, I gave her some some
more actually was joining PETA. Yeah, Christina wouldn't let
them Christina is like, hey man, don't give them them. Usually
that's good shit, man, I want to eat them usually. So I gave them
some, some other stuff.
Some rice krispies,
Rice Krispie treats for everyone. And as you got awesome
nest to go and eat it and went back, and we got some fantastic
pictures that, you know, I have to say they're cute.
And within it will literally now we know we can put this on
Wikipedia. Yeah, I just takes care of the legend that no one's
ever seen a baby pigeon. Well,
we have to and we will be documenting. documenting their
girls until red tail hawk comes around. Some lie we have
right we have a roster who's going to be watching out.
Anyway, a couple things from my travels before we really get
into the meat of the show. First of all, traveling in America is
not fun anymore.
It hasn't been fun for the you know, almost a decade.
It's really, really diminished. I mean, all the way from you get
to the airport, and we flew united. And we flew coach, which
was still Chicago, San Francisco, Chicago coach,
roundtrip each ticket was $600. And that's what the frick, is
that just shy? It's yeah, it's yeah, very high. And it's just
you know, every every year United has this priority check
in which you can add another $49 per ticket, and then you can get
into a faster line. It's like what the hell is that? It which
by the way, didn't go any faster than the regular line, you can
upgrade it, you used to be able to select the seat that was near
and exit those, of course now are for sale. And when you walk
into the plane, it's all frickin midgets who are sitting there
who booked their tickets a year in advance and lock up all the
premium seats? Because that's not a premium seat. Or is that
yeah, an exit row used to be like, well, you have to adhere
to all these. Can you speak English? And are you able to
open up the window? Now? It's like a you got 50 bucks, you can
have an exit seat? No, it's about right. And then this, this
extra, you pay extra for your baggage, which I don't know, I
guess I kind of I didn't realize that's what was going on, you
buy your ticket. And then if you when you check in, if you
actually have a bag with you, then you have to pay $20 A bag.
You know, it's it seems to me as though this is all leading to
one, one of the audacity, which is they to fly you around by the
pound.
Oh, you know what? I'd be okay with
that, you probably were enough to you probably would be the
median. Now they were typical, you probably pay right around
the 600 mark, and then they get these people that are extremely
large, that would have to pay even more. And then there's the
skinny little people could probably get in at a discount.
Well, here's the thing that really make a difference is I
mean, it's part of the cost of the flight. Of course,
every pound is is noted on the spreadsheet, it's extremely
important. But the thing that this does this, this paying for
$20 For baggage which and I'm okay again, I'm okay with it. If
it's really by weight, you know, there's a lot of reasons to say
okay, because it does cost a heavier person. It costs more to
transport them in aviation, it's all done by weight and balance.
But of course, what this does is it forces people to bring on
these fatties overseas shipping containers on wheels. And it's
just a nightmare. What goes on with people trying to jam this
shit into overhead bins. And then of course, you know, it's
completely filled to the, to the nook and cranny and people, you
know, finally get them closed. And then some other dickhead
comes along. He's like, Oh, I think I will open this one. And
then you know, it falls on people's heads. And it's like,
it's just, it's a nightmare. It's so stupid. And why do they
allow people to bring on these huge suitcases?
You're not supposed to bring on a suitcase that big. I mean, I
carry a hard case, which is designed specifically. And I do
it for the specific reason. I know it'll fit in those bins.
But these people they buy these things that they will fit in the
bin if they're empty, but then they stuffed them full of so
much stuff. And thing is bulging. And then they slam it
up or the or some people do the same thing with a garment bag,
even though that to me, people travel with those anymore, but
some people do. And then they can't they can't get the thing
in and they're pushing and pushing and pushing and then the
woman comes along those she helps push. She's pushing and
they're pushing and then she's got tricks to kind of caulk the
things so kinda opens a little wider and they finally get it in
there. And then when when the plane exits, you have to wait
for this guy to try to get out. But
it's like you're supposed to even say please put your lighter
items in the overhead bin which they're not luggage storage
there for like your coat, your laptop bag, you know, some small
things. And I have a nice coat and I put my I fold my coat, I
put it up there, I've got my my laptop bag, I put it up there
and I'm done, you know, and then some douchebag comes along. Like
dude, you know, that's like my coat in there. That's like my
shit. And you're just like, ramming it like a jackhammer,
tough toenails kid now and
all the while. And so the air conditioning unit was on like
sub zero temperatures above three rows, because we're of
course, we're on a triple seven, which means you get why do they
make five seats next to each other five seats is the most
inconvenient thing in the world. If you have an aisle seat,
you're going to be standing up throughout the entire flight to
let at least two other people go to the restroom. And so you
know, kept saying, Could you please control the air
conditioning? Because we're really freezing like you feel my
legs. They're made their blocks of ice. And these people, the
the flight attendants on United who are just dickheads and ugly.
They just all look good. All the conservatively to yeah, all
they're concerned about is turn off your cell phone could you
please, whoever controls the air conditioning? Could you please
change it just a little bit? Turn it up a little bit turned
off? All they talk about? And then oh, we have we have a
breakfast. Which by the way, the food you buy is a box of
chemicals. And by the time they get to row 43 I'm sorry, we're
out of breakfast. How many seats do you have on the plane? Bitch?
Ah, use that as a starter. Yeah.
Let me market that's a good one. And, and I had some fun at the
TSA as well. I just so far. Yeah, I mean, ah, so the thing
that bugs me is there's no consistency. So there was a new
or two new things in Chicago on our way back. The new one
was just interrupt you for saying I do want to mention that
there is no consistency. If you look at the TSA website, because
I fly with my daughter every so often. She's under 18. If you
read the TSA website, children flying with their parents don't
need any ID whatsoever. Right to Try to do it in the TSA says on
the website. So the TSA TSA policy, try to get your daughter
on an airplane with no ID and see what happens.
Oh, well. So the consistency Well, first, let me start at
every airport. Before you get to TSA. They have the local airport
rent a cop, which is one step above janitor and nothing
against janitors, but you get a uniform with a sewn on like
security patch. And their only job is to check and see you have
a boarding card. Right? They have no legal right to look at
your identification. Their only job is to make sure you don't
get into line without a boarding card, which I'm okay with that.
But the arrogance and the way they look at you and the way
they speak to you and then, you know so I on the way over the
woman like Martin guide, like and what happens with me is I
just can't help I remain friendly, but I gotta loud, you
know, like, Good morning, how are you? And they're always kind
of freaks him out. And then she's like, grabbing my grabbing
my boarding card. Okay, that's good. Thank you. You know, I
just I just can't help but I just have to, I figure if anyone
says What the fuck is wrong with you? I'll say I'm sorry. I'm
hard of hearing or something. You know, I can just like what?
But you know, it's like that's, that's it's so unfriendly. It's
so unfriendly.
My favorite thing is recently they'd be taken out when you go
into the line is to begin to have the boarding card and Id
guy. And so they in different airports. Again, it's
inconsistent, but Seattle always had to have for one thing. They
got a little ultraviolet light. Yeah,
they shine it on your on your
card, like okay, whatever. Yeah, so they're shining the light on
the card, and then the guys in Seattle typically hold the card
up into the air next year. So it's like matches next to your
face. And then they move it up forward and backwards, though.
They're like Monet and
they're looking at looking at it, like they have some facial
recognition to
picture and they're going back and forth and back and forth.
Like you know,
so here's, here's the inconsistency. So in Chicago,
and of course, these instructions are yelled at you.
So usually it's take your laptop out of the bag, and I have a one
of those crumble bags, so it's just the laptop and it has its
own little encasement nothing else so it's you know, it's and
I just carry that in my under my arm, because I don't want to be
taken shit out of a bag and just make it easy for me. Whatever.
So you're normally he's like, take our laptops out like
chronic. And, and then you have to, and then you have to put
your shoes you have take your shoes off with a new one here
was Do not put your shoes in the men's shoes have to be on the
belt by themselves. Like, yeah, exactly. And I'm like, wow,
okay, so I just let that go. So I'm like, Okay, I'll put my bugs
because then of course, I travel with the easy issues to take
off. I'll put them on the belt, I have a scarf, like a, you
know, just a gray scarf. And everything's off. I'm you know,
my pants are falling down. I've got nothing, nothing on except
the scarf. And the guy says, take off your scarf, sir. And
that's like, doesn't the X ray machine show that there's
nothing in the scarf? No, we have to see you have nothing
underneath. Okay? So I'm like, Alright, I begrudgingly do that.
And then as my stuff comes out on the other on the other side,
and there's one been with my laptop, on top of the rubber
casing, you know, just a little protection or protection bag.
The guy says, you know, you don't have to take that out of
the bag. I'm like, Oh, really, Agent white? Well, please come
to every other airport. I've been through where I've been
balled out for not taking it out. That's not true. Like,
okay.
You know, that's not true.
And then and then then I would know, please take it on. Yeah.
And please take your bins off of the belt, we need to move along,
move along. Like where am I going to redress? Sir, there's
like one bench where two people can sit on and there's 30 People
in the queue. It's just so anyway, what I'm building up to
is my entire frustration of being treated like an idiotic
slave. And when you really sit and drink a coffee at the
airport and watch people, they have become zombies. And all the
while the soundtrack is current thread level is orange, please
be very vigilant. Do not let go of your luggage, please maintain
your it's maintain your luggage at all times. It's like that,
that shit has influence on your psyche. You know, it really
does. And people are walking around like zombies John, and no
one's friendly. No one says thank you or please or whatever.
And it's just
that well, you wonder why Chicago lost a bid for the
Olympics.
And it's not it's not just Chicago. It's the airport
experience in general. And America used to be ridiculed in
a funny sort of way by the Europeans when I was growing up
and get my nation east. Oh, America is so fake with your
Have a nice day. And how are you doing? And I'd always defend
that and say, No, that's not true. People Americans generally
just mean that don't read anything into it. They actually
mean how you doing or have a nice day and it's a part of
service and services Service with a smile. But now even the
people who say this like Hi, how you doing? Have a nice day.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day. It becomes zombified,
completely zombified. And I'm, well, that's why these movies
are out. Exactly. Exactly. And and even in my intro, I said it,
you know, I saw zombie land, which is a fantastic movie, if
you like gratuitous killing of zombies. Who doesn't? And let's
face it. But I think there was a very deep psychological metaphor
in there that the filmmakers were trying to portray, and
they're right. We have just become a nation of zombies, at
least in these in these open spaces. where people come
together, and there's just no human interaction whatsoever.
And it's, it's sad and misery. It really saddens me, and
that the government has done what it has to do to dehumanize
the entire population, United States and its word nation,
it's frickin worked. Well, they,
you know, it doesn't take that much.
So anyway, while I was in Chicago, I had a quick walk
around, wanting to show Mickey, you know, some, you know, like
the loop and stuff. And I bumped into something rather
interesting. And I did a little bit of research on it. Although
I don't know if it really means that if we can read too much
into it, but it was just kind of fun to see. I saw a plaque on on
one of the bridges, and I forget which one offhand but it's not
that relevant, which was a plaque from 1687 or something
and talked about Norwegian sailors coming over to Chicago.
And so I started Googling a little bit about, you know, I
basically, did Google searches on the Norway Chicago
connection, of course, thinking that, hey, maybe, maybe there's
a deeper meaning behind the Norwegians not the Swedes, it
was the Norwegian, five Norwegian politicians who
essentially choose the Nobel Peace Prize. There was a huge
Norwegian community in Chicago. And did you know that 55 of the
big bridges in Chicago were built by Norwegians. Okay, and
And there's a lot
of Norwegians in that whole area, Minnesota, Chicago,
Wisconsin. Right.
Right. But I just thought, you know, and there's there's still
to this day shipping contracts. And there's all kinds of stuff
going back and forth between Norway and Chicago. And I just
thought it was interesting that there may be a little more
connection there between Chicago specifically and Norway and
never know what Chicago so there's
a there's a couple of links that I'll put into the show notes
that no agenda show.com where you can read about the Norwegian
community. All the work they did on on the bridges, which face it
is a big part of the Chicago infrastructure. And 55 bridges
is, you know, that's that's not just a little and there's a lot
of, I guess, it's Lutheran churches in Chicago that that
Norwegians built? I don't know. I just thought it was
interesting that there may be a little deeper connection there.
Well, let's get back to this dehumanizing theme. I think this
is this is a good one for sure. Well, let's, which brings me to
one of my clips. And first I want to mention that clip Id hit
guy promise died never dug up. And I got to dig it up because
it's still valid. And it'll still be good to listen to,
which is Shepard Smith, be rating on Fox where the movie
rating a nurse or who wasn't going to take the swine flu
shot. And he essentially berated her for pretending that she
knows more than the CDC knows. Because the CDC knows more than
she does. She doesn't know anything. And the fact that she
would come on the show and go in it was just was unbelievable.
Listen to this thing, because it was just like,
Did you did you send me this clip? John?
The clip that you have two clips, right. Yeah, it's the one
that's not the P pod.
Oh, Riley dick.
Anyway, so so so Smith goes on and on. And so I've thought wow,
that was just an anomaly. Shepard Smith's a dick. You
know, there's all these different possibilities. Or she
went off script or who knows what and I think that I didn't
think was gonna be automatic. Then O'Reilly comes on to showed
me this was this last week. And you know, I just not that this
woman doesn't need berating. But the idea that you bring somebody
on who has you know, that you're all you're gonna do is be raid
her, because she is not the government and the government
knows best. Fox had gotten into this mode of the government
knows best. Which is, which is somewhat sick. Because the
government doesn't know best, but the government knows best
are the generals know best? And, you know, I mean, you know,
anyone who's been through the Vietnam war scene knows that
that was bogus. But no, that's okay. So I want you to play this
is a little long, you're gonna have the interrupted a couple of
times. But this is O'Reilly attacking a Code Pink woman, one
of the co founders are something and she was actually quite
pleasant for a Code Pink woman she had, she just wanted to she
just came on to say what she wanted to say. And he just not
only ridiculed her, but then laughed at her and I thought
found it abhorrent
for Americans who want out of Afghanistan, even though there's
no question that terrorists would move in. Joining us now
from Washington, Medea Benjamin, leader of Code Pink, committed
anti war group. And Miss Benjamin is just back from
Afghanistan. So just just to find for everybody, your exact
position on the war over there.
We don't think sending 40,000 more troops is the answer. We
think there is no military solution. And in fact, we think
the presence of US troops is the best recruiting tool that the
Taliban has. We were told about 30% of people who join the
Taliban join because they've been harmed by foreign forces,
and the other 70% joined because they're poor. So I think we'd be
a lot better off saving the lives of our soldiers and the
money of our tax dollars, if we provided financial incentives
for people not to join the Taliban. And we have an exit
strategy, and let the Afghan military and the Afghan police
be trained by the UN, and promote peace talks.
Before we even let O'Reilly go further. It baffles me how the
talk has shifted to the Taliban. How we were supposed to be there
for one reason and one reason only, which was to catch Osama
bin Laden. Okay, you can tack on your phantom al Qaeda if you
want. But the entire conversation has shifted to the
Taliban and no one's even questioning that.
Now. This is like the shift from health care reform to health
care. Insurance Reform. Yeah, you just slip in. You just be
you do slipstream the argument. So you were talking about one
thing one minute, the next thing you know, we got to stop the
Taliban, by the way, just
so Medea, Benjamin feels that she you know more about winning
a war than General McChrystal.
Well, yeah, he's doesn't seem to be winning it does he? She's,
I don't know, if that's gonna fly. Soon the Christian thinks
he can win. And he's the expert general, and you're a civilian,
but you say, you know more than him?
Well, I'm absolutely certain that more troops is not the
answer. It's
okay. But he's certainly he's certainly more troops is the
answer. So I'm saying, Why should I take you with all due
respect your expertise over Christmas?
You fool, you're a slave. You need to shut up woman Shut up
and sit down. What do you know?
That's exactly right.
Yeah, it's, you know, so just in response to this, first of all,
I don't know what wars McChrystal has won, you know, I
wouldn't mind seeing his track record, okay, maybe he was a
seal or something like that. And just to preface this, I really
have deep respect for servicemen and women, my whole family is
government servicemen and women. And there is a constitutional
obligation. And when people sign up for that, you know, that's,
that's huge. So it's not about that. But jeez, Louise, when
when will we understand that this is the biggest scam in the
world. And I hate to say it, but it is a complete fractal of
Iraq, complete from from Afghanistan to Iran. It's all
about access to the region. It's all about oil. It's what it's
all about all over again, it has nothing to do with Taliban,
other than, you know, getting the Taliban out of the way, who
of course, depleted the poppy fields down to almost zero
production. The coalition forces come in, and now we're up at
120 125%. So we can ship drugs over to the west and continue to
fuel Wall Street.
Okay, well, McChrystal was a West Point grad, commissioned a
second lieutenant around 76. Then he was we did that. See, he
was special for Special Forces,
special ops or whatever. Okay, so but that doesn't mean you
know how to win a war. That means you know, how to kill
people.
You went to South Korea. Ooh, the street that is fifth
Rangers. So high end? Fighter, that's for sure.
Yeah, a fighter, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a
strategic war winner. And by the way, what constitutes winning in
Afghanistan? What when we win, what does that mean?
Yeah, well, I know it's the same thing with Iraq where who's you?
Who would who would be beating? I mean, somebody come over and
do we sign up some papers on a train on a ship? I mean, there's
no who knows nobody that did that can surrender. I mean, it's
ridiculous.
And it looks like the it looks like the Obama is going to do
another surge type deal.
Yeah, well, that's what this debate is all about. I'm still
looking over this McChrystal stuff. I'm not seeing that,
that he was a big war winning general.
He was criticized for his role in the aftermath of the 2004
death. This is a one where that guru or the Pat Tillman was
killed he lied about it apparently. He said that Tillman
was killed in a line of devastating enemy fire, which
was not alright or not gonna be the case. It was friendly fire.
So we got it. So now we have a guy that's not even you can't
even trust him right there. Boom. So why does anything he
say it was. Liddy
write us. BBC reports us dismisses Afghans surge report.
The White House has denied reports that US President Barack
Obama may soon announce a substantial increase in US
troops to Afghanistan. You want to hear Robert Gibbs that
douchebag want to hear what he has to say I love Robert
Gibbs. He's my favorite. He's
funny to listen to. It's a short sales report.
I wouldn't. The President has not made a decision. And when he
does, I think you can assume that the BBC will not be the
first outlet. For such a decision. I would not put any
throw weight behind the fact that a decision has been made
when the President has yet to make a decision.
Does the President actually make that decision? Doesn't Congress
make the decision?
Well, it's a board decision. So it's supposed to be Congress,
but I think that the Congress doesn't care. And besides that,
they should go along with anything. He says
Gordon Brown pledged 500 more forces for Afghanistan. That's a
500. Yeah. And he said it's all you know, it's all very
important. This is right in line with the strategy. So
apparently, the UK strategy is different from the US strategy.
Or it's just the setup. You know, to say the strategy is
Right, and the strategy calls for more troops. And then Obama
can say, well, our partners are doing it, we have to do it as
well.
And yeah, there's some some. So I'm gonna, I'm definitely I'm
gonna get off this wiki page. I'm sorry, but I was looking at,
somebody's gonna have to, I don't know why it's not in the
wiki. But supposedly Stanley McChrystal won a Bronze Star.
And there's no mention of what for?
Well, it was to fill up an empty spot on his uniform was an
interesting report in The Times the UK times that, you know,
the, the French that were 10 French troops who were killed. I
think a couple of weeks ago, when they walked into the war,
they took over from the Italians in the sarobi area east of
Kabul. And this was supposed to be a very, very calm, very
serene area. And the and the French come in, it was their
turn to take over that particular region, and boom, you
know, 10 guys get killed. And this report now states that the
Italian Secret Service was paying 1000s and 1000s of
dollars to the Taliban commanders and local warlords to
keep the area calm. But they neglected to tell the French
this so the French went in, didn't know where to drop the
black bag, or where to place the envelope. And the warlord is
like, Hey, we're going to take you out. Because the Italians,
the Italians are just paying them off and drinking wine all
day. It's a fantastic article, it'll be in the show notes. But
I definitely have to read that one. It's
like, Whoa, I mean, and there's a lot and there's been a lot of
reports about buying off of warlords and, and but there's
just no one really aggregating it all up into one real concise
story. And
now the whole thing is a fiasco. It really
is. It really, really is. And but not just It's so
disappointing, and it's upsetting. It's like, don't we
see what's going on? Don't we? Why can't Why can't we see that?
Probably because all we hear is current thread level is orange.
I was talking about this with Nikki last night. And because
she also was starting to get really irritated about, you
know, the TSA stuff, and she's totally slipping over to the
dark side, John, which is kind of cool. And, and she says, But
you know, of course, we don't want terrorists. I said, Well,
let me ask you this in Madrid, where were people killed by
terrorists? And she said on the train, I said, in London, where
were people killed, killed by terrorists, she said, on the
subway and in buses. So well, how come you know? How come the
terrorists who are apparently out to kill Americans only
target airplanes? We got plenty of trains, we got buses, how
come there's no security there? Because it's bullshit.
Well, for a group of that that's out to kill Americans, it seems
that they're the number of attacks that they've made on our
shores is pretty low. I mean, although we do catch you know,
these these, these idiots like that guy in Dallas, of course,
that was gonna blow up a building, but the guy was
obviously a subpar moron, who you know, somebody targeted. I
mean, and I think you could probably do this with a lot of
these guys, you find somebody with a really low IQ. And this
is part of the course the, you gotta get the Patriot Act re
passed. And so what you got is you have to have a few
incidents. So they arrest that one guy out of Denver, then they
find some guy plotting against something in Chicago.
Coincidentally, yeah. And then they had this moron down in
Dallas Fort Worth area that was gonna blow up this building. So
they found some guy who is is going to be his handler. And you
know, who was a government agent, and essentially, the
government agent does everything. He buys him the
bombs, he gets them, you know, he sets him up, he gets them all
jacked up. Come on, buddy. We can do it. We can blow this
place up. And the guy says, yeah, oh, good, duh. And the
guy's an obvious, you know, probably a IQ of 80. And they he
gets him to the point where he they planted this phony bomb,
and then he hasn't pushed the button like he's gonna blow it.
Okay, you're gonna get to blow it up. Here's the button trigger
here. Take push it ready. 123 Push. Oh, didn't work. Oh,
didn't work. Boom, you're under arrest. Yeah. And this would
have happened if it wasn't for the other guy who was the
American, the government guy that was doing all the heavy
lifting? Yeah. There's a if you want to just grab people like
that. There's a bunch of big talkers in the United States.
You know, anyone who's ever been amongst a working class who has
been in a factory or anything. There are so many blowhards in
this country, that it's not hard to find one and then sucker him
into doing something he probably wouldn't have done in a million
years. And this is probably you know, some of the worst kinds of
entrapment. I'm not saying this guy should be out roaming
around. He's probably a dummy that should be locked up. But
that's beside the point. I mean, you saw it with John DeLorean
when he had his car coming. This was back in the 70s I believe.
Where are you know, he was he was losing money they some
government guy came up with this idea to talk him into, you know,
let's get into the cocaine business. It's a real problem.
All my life I do, right, this guy right into the sewer, when
he probably wouldn't have done it on his own, I think is
important. And that's what the we just kind of make people
criminals. I don't see why we're making people criminals.
Meanwhile, if you connect the dots, and you will not hear this
on Fox News or on your beloved CNN, President Obama has
consistently said that he did not want to make a decision
about more troops in Afghanistan until the the elections were
finalized. Now the elections this is Karzai, the guy who is
co owner or his brother has all these hosts huge restaurant
chain in the US. He's, you know, he owns the Toyota factory in
Afghanistan. He owns he owns everything He's like, he's like
the true warlord of business over there. And Karzai, of
course, you know, as a as a shill worked for UNESCO was or
Unocal was put in there to kind of manage the region. And so
we're waiting for you know, they had this election, it's like
there's been no real results. And it's like maybe there was
some fraud. And now the UN official in Afghanistan Sunday
acknowledged widespread fraud in the disputed presidential
election and is rejecting allegations from a former deputy
that he covered up the cheating to smooth the path to victory
for President Hamid Karzai. Now, where do you think this UN
official is from? John?
I don't know. You tell me
from Norway. Chi Elda.
So you're getting Norway in some grand scheme? Yes.
I'm telling you in Norway in Chicago, there's no
Norway Chicago Obama axis
I'm telling. It's the axis of Norwegian evil remarks by
Norwegian diplomat chi l de appeared designed to win back
respect for both the troubled UN mission and the entire election
process ahead of a ruling by investigators and where their
fraud was extensive enough in August, the August 20th
balloting to require runoff. So here's a guy who was supposed to
make sure that you know, there was no fraud and he tried to
cover it up. He tried to cover it up.
Maybe the Norwegians, you know, are so sick of making money from
oil that they're looking for this drug connection. Maybe the
Norwegians are supplying all the drugs in Chicago.
Yeah, maybe they're just trying to expand their business. Yeah,
you know, so
what do you do? Yeah,
you know, so, but these things you'll never hear about this?
This is I consider this to be pretty big.
Like, nobody cares, not
insignificant, you know, there's definitely something to it.
Now, what am I just take your shoes off, put them in the bin,
don't put them in the bin, put them in the bin. Don't put them
in the bin.
I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. And maybe that's a
part of it. Maybe they do it on purpose to confuse your ass. You
know?
Well, that was something somebody sent us a seat that CNN
had you Did you read the you know, we have one of our
producers as a hypnotist? Oh, yeah, I did. And he found the ad
that CNN uses which, which is a very, which is an ad designed to
confuse the brain?
Oh, that's where they have it was the CNN ad. Yeah, I do have
that. Hold on.
Yeah, confused the brain and then you they hit you with a
suggestion? You know, it's a very, I find it fascinating. I
believe that we need to do a couple and I think I can I can
reproduce kind of reproduce the style of that ad and make a no
agenda ad, which will help maybe get us more contributions. Would
you like me to see if I can pull that add up for a second? Yeah,
it's in his email. Yeah. Why
don't why don't you explain I kill some
time I kill some containment that was telling people or while
you were gone about your containment shell. And the fact
that I believe that in San Francisco, all these lofts that
are being built in there that you can, they all have the same
basic style, the windows are off the ground. They're they're
brick, they're made out of, you know, brick, most Not, not just
not regular brick, but this kind of prison brick. And all you
need to do is just put the some bars on the windows and you'll
find that most of these lofts in San Francisco could easily be
minimum security prisons. And I think I'm almost convinced that
they were designed with that in mind. And you're in one of them.
And that's what I pointed out to you and it even has the elevator
where they can beat you up. I mean, it's just amazing. It's
just a classic prison situation.
Okay, I got it here. This is actually you blog. This is
coming from your blog. So this is an Anderson Cooper 360 or As
we say, ac 360. And it's well listen to I hope it'll because
YouTube sometimes doesn't do stereo. So let's see if it'll,
I think is ninja did stereos it makes it I don't think it has to
be in stereo to work.
You know, I disagree. I think what you hear through left ear
and through right ear has profound different effects. Now
maybe because you know the right ear goes to the left brain and
left to go to the right brain and those brain halves do have
different functions. Well, let's hear what it sounds
like lifelong. The issue that matters most to me is national
security. Unfortunately, many of the politicians running the
government are almost difficult to trust sometimes. That's why I
watch Anderson Cooper 360. On CNN, every weeknight at 10 ac
360 brings you the news from different perspectives. I
especially like keeping them honest, because whenever one of
those right wing politicians plays with their facts, they're
held accountable ac 360 weeknights a 10 only on CNN.
It's actually
it's what Alex Jones would describe as the left right
paradigm, which is why I find the actual separation of
channels an interesting concept because you literally are
talking about left and right and what would it be interesting,
and you have to get the original John and see if you can find out
what's playing a white on which channel because if the if the
woman who says left actually appears in your right ear and
the man who says right appears in your left ear, there's
something to that that is not unimportant.
Yeah, it might be because you have a left brain, it's like it
has a certain mentality. And the right brain has a different one.
So you could kind of appeal to both of them through the
different ears and then consolidate your message at the
end. So you have like confused the way it was described as you
have confusion, confusion, confusion, confusion, and then
the brain is going I don't know what to do. And then then
consolidation where the and the information is identical.
But speaking of CNN, and this was a fabulous report that came
out, which I think is something that's very important for our
audience, our producers, women who perform the act of fellatio
and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week
may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40%.
Yeah. Yeah, that was a hoax. You know?
Yeah. From the Associated Press
was never Associated Press story.
It says right here, it's an AP story to what it says. And it's
on cnn.com.
I'm telling I know, that began as a hoax, and somehow it got
into the mainstream.
And it's from a study from the North Carolina State University.
It's just if it really is a hoax, that's great, because you
can just say something's from the North Carolina State
University and get your shit on AP and CNN. And apparently, they
studied over 15,000 women. John Dwight, John, I think we have to
test this theory. I think we need to get a few of our we have
well, we have like nine female listeners. We need to we need to
study them over the course or a few years to see if this is
actually true. This is for Science, John, we cannot just
overlook these things.
Yeah, for validation, validation purposes. So I guess this is
good a moment as any for the pea pod.
Okay, everybody, it's time for x.
Okay, here's the deal. That finally it just actually got to
me a couple of weeks ago, and then I heard this ad.
With Ragu, you can give your kids veggies they'll actually
eat. Ragu has more than a full serving of veggies in every half
cup. So give them a good start with all natural Ragu feed our
kids well.
Veggies when it veggies become like a mainstream term. Oh
veggies what is it? These people six years old? You know I saw it
start seeing this word veggies cropping up and you hear all the
vegans also Oh, veggies veggies. Oh, I've got my veggies and I
saw what really got to me was on Yelp. They used to you see these
older the veggies are really good. What veggies what's
veggies, I don't get what veggies is It's like somebody
saying what do you like to eat? I like the meat. It doesn't mean
anything. But the term veggies is so kind of like third grade
that it just galls me it just irks me to hear grown women say
veggies and then they when I heard this commercial it just
took me over the top and by the way also when you do a Yelp
post, there's a little I think you can say a little more than
the word yum. To describe the meal. Is that it? Yeah, John
cedars borax.
It's a part of the dumbing down of the masses. John it's so
incredibly clear. It's just it's just to make men to make a
stupid we're stupid apparently. Veggies head veggies. Yeah. And
it's in Ragu, which sounds pretty ominous,
full serving, whatever that means. I guess they're counting
tomatoes as veggies when in fact are fruit.
Speaking of commercials. John Granada's, I think as I
pronounced that one of our producers, says, you might want
to take a look at the new format for drug ads on Hulu. He said, I
don't watch Hulu, because I, maybe I should to watch some
good. You have
a real TV? Yeah,
I got a television. And I tried to keep that off. It's much
safer. He says last night when he was watching cops to improve
his Taser avoidance techniques. Software. That's the one I love
our listeners. He saw for the first time one of these new ads,
and it includes a screenshot. And he included a screenshot of
it, but the spot is a minute 15. So it's that new format, of
which 50 seconds is the is all the disclaimer. So you get like
15 seconds as a sales pitch and
55 zero. So this was 20 seconds was or 25 seconds was actual
commercial and the remainder of the time. So long commercial.
Yeah, well, it's one of those new minute 15 things but they're
now also has on the Hulu ad, they have a scroll bar, that
that actually now gives you the text of all of the negative
effects of the camera. Oh, wow. Yeah. Including right upper
belly pain. I love that. I thought that was a pretty
interesting. So who's gonna make a bundle off of that? Really,
that's it's, I got to I got a credit for
the only two countries in the world that allow this sort of
advertising. It's banned. And it used to be banned in the United
States. But now the United States and New Zealand of all
places are the two countries in the world that allow this sort
of really onerous drug company advertising to get people to
hound their doctor. When I saw it on TV, and I wasn't right for
me. I mean, is it right for me?
So here's what some financial analysts are saying about the
pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceuticals have shown their
defensive colors in the downturn with no sign yet of late cycle
hit to revenues. Here's a UBS analyst our initial view was
that we would see something by the third quarter but it's
starting to feel like that's not going to happen in other words,
a downturn in fact, drug sales are now expected to grow by four
and a half to five and a half percent this year in the all
important US market. According to IMS Health leading Trends
Report drugged up you all important. It's very very
important. Only six months ago, IMS was predicting a one to 2%
fall. And oh man it's it's oh here Credit Suisse analysts,
Catherine Arnold said the average price increase for major
US Drug companies and third quarter was 8.7%. So they're
going gangbusters gangbusters. I tell you, and you wonder why?
Well, yeah, well, you make the public sick. Yes. You know, yes.
scare him to death with swine flu crap. You make him sick with
lousy food, and you know, veggies. And then the next thing
you know, they they, they're ill and they need to take drugs.
Well, you don't even need to take drugs. But yeah, if not
what they're
sold a bill of goods about the drugs. I got a million
commercials. Yeah, I wanted we play him all the time. And it's
just like, why do you need this drug? I mean, they still like,
you know, the Restless Leg Syndrome drug is a classic. Who
develops these things?
Well, drug companies,
and what I mean, I just like go I look, I think I got a theory
here. But we can, we can make this drug for restless legs
syndrome. And there's this many people and I can imagine the
meetings, you know what the meetings are like, you're
meeting guy. They go into there and they got the whiteboard. And
they're showing the numbers of people that have restless legs
syndrome and how much money they can make per pill because it'd
be 10 bucks a pill. And then they say, Well, how many people
can we convince have restless leg syndrome? And Holy mackerel,
look at the size of that market? All right, let's do it.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. What is his position in government?
He is a representative of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Okay, so he's not a he's not somewhere. Well, let's
look him up on Wikipedia. Maybe he's got in somewhere.
Well, because you mentioned the meeting and he has been standing
outside I guess the capital I'm waiting for this page to load.
And he is all over this secret meeting that the vaccine
producers had offs and offsite meeting known as an off site And
they had this meeting where they actually discussed how to cover
up the fact that the minute traces of mercury in
vaccinations, not necessarily the h one n one, but that they
knew that they know that it causes autism. And I'm going to
play a little bit of this because it's pretty compelling
stuff. And you have to you have to watch it. I will put the link
in the show notes. Thank you very much.
I'm so happy to see all of you out here today, finally telling
the truth to this Congress, which needs to hear the truth
for the first time. The government scientists are
acknowledging that even tiny, infinitesimal amounts of mercury
Mercury parts per billion will cause profound neurological
injury in children. And I was working on these issues. And I'm
mothers started coming up to me and said, you know, the biggest
exposure is not coming from power plants, or old mining
claims, as you might think it's coming from our own vaccines.
And they asked me to work on it until just to look into it. And
they were not hysterical people. They were scientists, they were
doctors. They were psychiatrists. They were
pharmacists. They were people who had had their feet on the
ground. They had attended the conferences, they had read the
scientific literature, they had calmly and deliberately gone
through this, and they had reached a conclusion. And the
conclusion was that the vaccines were destroying the health we're
making the sickest generation of American children in the history
of our country. Now listen to this shit about the man I
started looking into it. And somebody provided me with the,
with the Simpson would memo, Google that John Simpson board
members in Rolling Stone and Simpson Wood was the transcripts
of a secret meeting that was held between CDC and 75.
Representatives of the vaccine industry, in which they reviewed
a report that CDC had ordered the Stratton study will have
100,000 children in the United States vaccine safety database.
And when they looked at it themselves, they said it is
impossible. This is a quote to massage this data to make the
signal go away.
I think I see little red laser.on his forehead? Well.
It's a little unclear on the video. It's a great it's a great
speech he does and that's he's really out there and this
Simpson Woods memo is interesting stuff. The CDC,
colluded with 75 vaccine manufacturers how to cover this
up. You know, and then you get people like Jenny McCarthy,
who's married to Jim Carrey, and they have a kid with autism. And
then you know, and then she's trying to get the message out
saying, hey, you know, we're, you know, we're giving our kids
28 vaccines before they're 18 months old. You know, the logic
points to some issues here. And then just Google Jenny McCarthy
and yeah, no,
not making a big, a lot of noise about this. Yeah. But so yeah,
they got her marginalizes a crackpot.
That's what I'm saying the Google nutcase or crackpot and
Jenny McCarthy and she's it you know, she's Oh, she's crazy.
That's good stuff, though. I have no idea what
Well, I'm sure that you know, with Kennedy, you know, he's a,
he's a do gooder. Yeah. And a sincere one. I mean, I think
he's wrong about a lot of stuff I've heard him talk about but
and he's very socialist, but he is thorough and good
troublemaker. He He's because he has all kinds of creds and if
he's looking into this, this is gonna be interesting to see how
that works out because that is a little more that they're gonna
have a trouble tarring him with the Jenny McCarthy crackpot
paintbrush
well particularly when you when you read this memo, you know
this this memo about the meeting that they held off site they
held it off of site specifically because then they thought there
would be immune from a Freedom of Information Act request.
So did you see they have now they have like three or four or
five of these different swine flu vaccines and they had all
these different manufacturers this I wish I had this law
article in front of me but I was like hold on one second
gentlemen. Yeah, so they have these you know they SmithKline
all these different Glaxo all these different companies that
make this swine flu and then they said and they have one
batch of it that is the only one that is thermo so the mercury
free and it has a no no adjuvants and mercury free and
who do you think was the manufacturer of that one?
Let me Could it be Baxter is cracked up You got to send me
that link. We're gonna put that in the show notes. Baxter, who
of course actually tried to kill people by spreading the live
vaccine and got away with it and their stock price is through the
roof.
Yeah, they make the good stuff apparently.
Yeah, yeah, they make the well there was another link Hold on.
Here it is San Jose Mercury News. Headline us could
potentially use controversial adjuvants and swine flu vaccine.
So of course, we've been promised that no adjuvants would
be put in but it's very simple to see how the strategy is going
to work. Oh, we don't have enough vaccine. People are
getting sick people are dying. We have oh my gosh, in Oklahoma,
there's children are dropping dead on the streets. Queue up
that old video again of the three kids. Yeah, the Oklahoma
video The World Health Organization estimates that a
worldwide production capacity of 3 billion doses. John, we are. I
mean, I I want to apologize to the listeners. When I said you
should invest in gold, I'm sorry, you should have of course
completely invested in these pharmaceutical companies. 3
billion doses of pandemic h one n one vaccine will be used to
prevent the outbreak and spread of the 2009 h one n one flu or
swine flu. This ambitious plan for widespread vaccine will be
inadequate for a total population of 6.8 billion people
has drawn criticism regarding the vaccine safety. So here's
the strategy. Oh my gosh, it's working so well. But people who
don't have it don't have access to the vaccine, they don't have
access. They're dying, we only have one way to go, we can
produce it fast enough. John, do you have an idea? Do you have a
solution?
We use lots of weird adjuvants
at the hamburger helper of the vaccine industry.
You know what's going to happen here? Because there's already
been a number of huge populations that have said,
Look, we don't we don't want this stupid shot. And the thing
that's interesting about it is that, you know, the swine flu
came up last year. And they and there's always this thing about
why you know it, unlike every other flu, for some unknown
reason, it doesn't go away. Even though the 1918 Flu did it, it
had a two year life cycle. So what you're gonna run into is, I
think there's going to be another round of applause for
this for the stage one and one next year, I can almost assure
you of this, we can make a note, put a.on this show. And by this
time, next year, the thing will be coming around again, in a
more virulent form. And we're going to have and apparently not
everybody got their shots last year, and we've got to stick
because they gotta get rid of these shots. I mean, you don't
make, you know, three, 4 billion, you know, copies of
this flu have to be distributed and only sell half of it. You
you what do you do with the rest of it? You can need to shoot it
up, you know, next year. So this one's going around. And that's
what you need the Thermacell and therefore, because it needs to
preserve it for a year.
This is a good article that's in in Mercury News. And of course,
that'll be in the show notes that no agenda show.com. In
testimony before Congress in 2001, the FDA needed to make a
decision on the safety of adjuvants, so manufacturers
could know whether they could include them in vaccines or not,
quote, it seems that the FDA and the manufacturers have been
waiting for a pandemic to solve the problem for them. It was
going to be the avian flu. And this is testimony before
Congress. No,
you know, we discussed this, I think like four or five months
ago with this exact same thesis. Yeah.
An adjuvant vaccine for h five and one avian flu was approved
in many countries, but the disease never spread person to
person. Damn, damn, damn, damn, drat. Back to the drawing board.
Baxter. Can you guys hook us up? So then swine flu came along
Glaxo, Novartis got another bite of the cherry. And of course,
once the adjuvants get into licensed products in the US,
they'll become part of all sorts of novel vaccines for cancer and
non infectious diseases. They're just waiting to roll this shit
out. It's no they roll they need
to do they really want to I mean, we said this before, when
this whole swine flu thing began, which was this is a scam
of some sort. And the adjuvant part of it seems to be one of
the elements and the fact that you know that in the coincidence
that all of a sudden backs are sending out regular vaccines
with h five and one in them which would have triggered the h
one. Oh, they
know it was h one n one. No, it was h
five n Well, I'm sure it was wasn't it? It was it was bird
flu.
Era irrelevant.
They will besides the point they were trying to get something for
spreading we we feel even though no, it was an accident. And you
know, we'll take their word for it. There was no way that they
could possibly be doing that. So we're going to that's what we're
that's what we stick by. Although we don't believe it
just wanted to close it off.
It's probably best.
So one more little piece of outrage which you will not hear
about because of course we're too busy talking about are we
still talking about the Nobel Peace Prize? Or is it time? I'm
not It's not isn't a time for another distraction. We need
another one. We need something to distract from what's
happening right now?
Well, let's see, Britney Spears is out of the picture. So that's
no good net Kate Plus eight I think is lost. And I think
they've lost her momentum. And
Jeff is doing pretty good, though. Man, I
don't watch it.
No one is talking about it. But it's happening. AIG is about to
hand out another round of bonuses, which averages out to
about $50,000 per person in the company. And even the lunch lady
is getting a $7,000 bonus. And of course, these are retention
bonuses. And you know, you can't have the lunch lady leaving the
company. Really, what
would you do? Yeah, because it's so hard. You know, it's hard to
get lunch. You can't find anyone to hire because there's nobody
that there's nobody unemployed amongst the 20%.
So while this is happening, court documents, and this is
about the the previous round of bullshit bonuses. Oh, crap. My,
my browser just bricked. Court documents are showing that
Bernanke and Paulson knew about the bonuses before they forced
Merrill Lynch to be acquired by Bank of America. And they so
they lied about these people should be fired. Well, they
should be thrown in jail. They lied about it. They allowed
they'd lie here. Court documents show that federal regulators
were told about billions of dollars in bonuses awarded to
Merrill Lynch executives during the company's takeover by Bank
of America contradicting statements by Congress by
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. And former Treasury
Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. They knew about the 20 about the
bonuses before. So that would they knew it on December 17
weeks before the government approved the $20 billion
bailout. And then of course, when those bonuses happened,
like, ooh, and no one's given the bonuses back. Remember, they
were supposed to give the bonuses back. No one's given the
bonuses back. It's all reported in mainstream news. It'll be in
the in the show notes at no agenda show.com.
And nobody seems to be outraged by anything. No, but
but now they're about to do another round of bonuses. Why
not? It's just, I would, but how come no one's angry.
I'd be lying if I was running one of these companies. And I'm
looking around and looking at all these people, you know,
scattering around, you know, worried about their shoes in the
bin, and all the rest of it. I just be Jamie taking all the
money and passing it amongst all my buddies. And then buying
yachts and boats and trips to Europe and Matt have a great
time. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Nobody cares. Nobody seems to
care. They don't want to they don't want to do anything about
looking at the books of the Fed. Because heaven forbid anyone do
that. God knows why. I mean, what are they? What are they
trying to hide? That's what I know. It's becoming mysterious.
Yeah.
Our friend, slick Willie Brown said something very interesting
on October 11. As he was being interviewed, he would you
like to do another. He's been dropping little bombs here and
there. Because I'm using well, he dropped a rather familiar
bomb
package, which hasn't been spent yet. I think maybe only about
20% of it has been spent. I would be doing jobs, jobs, jobs.
Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
either listen to our show, or he
probably does like, Hey, let me give Adam and John a little
plug. They'll dig it. It'll be really funny jobs. They'll be
really, really funny. We have an international police force set
up. Interpol in the United Nations are now becoming
partners in fighting crime by jointly grooming a global police
force that will be deployed as peacekeepers amongst rogue
nations, riven by war and organized crime. Hey, we should
have him here.
Yeah. In Chicago as we speak.
On Monday, justice and foreign ministers from more than 60
countries, including the United States and China are gathering
in Singapore for a meeting hosted by the two international
organizations again, the UN and Interpol the first step towards
creating what Interpol calls a global police doctrine. This is
it. This is what we've been talking about for two years. Two
years and here it is your global police force. We've got the the
global finance which the G 20 is going to determine how all the
central banks work together but a global police force ladies and
gentlemen Enjoy your shopping experience now shut up and sit
down.
A global police force. That's a good one is all money grab?
Yeah, I think it's a little
girl power grab too, I suppose.
And this is weird from the Washington Times. And I've been
following a couple of kind of weird stories. But you know,
there was also this United Nations. I don't think it was a
UN report about the atrocities that went on during the most
recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza,
where both sides really overstepped the boundaries of
all rules of killing people. Because you know, you can't kill
people in a certain way, you can only kill them with like a clean
shot to the head, preferably to. So this UN report accused the
Jewish state of Israel and the Palestinian State have targeting
its civilians in illegal ways. And now Israel, in the Knesset
is seriously considering restricting travel to Europe by
senior officials and military officers fearing they might be
arrested for war crimes.
Yeah, well, this is a problem Cheney has, by the way,
where is he hiding out?
I think he's in the Batcave.
Yeah. Okay, I want to send you a link that you just have to take
a look at, if you want to know, because otherwise we can't
discuss it. While you're
doing that. I'm going to we have to do a little call back here to
Stanley McChrystal. I just want to read a couple of paragraphs
from the free Republic. But McChrystal, he stopped the
practice of flying flags at half mast. Every time a soldier was
killed, saying a force that's fighting a war can spend all its
time looking back at what the costs have been. His approach to
challenge the standard military culture of overwhelming the
enemy with superior firepower sometimes regardless of the
consequences. He has told his men to think before they before
they shoot. In August, he angered Germany by apologizing
for an airstrike on to hijack NATO fuel trucks. The strike
called in by the German contingent, it killed 990
people. This this compassion was a long way from the reputation
McChrystal had enjoyed as an American as America's ruthless
chief terrorist pursuer caught up in a scandal over torture and
prisoner abuse. He was apparently somehow this guy is
no good. His transformation is that here's the quote that was a
quote from the piece I wanted to read. This came from The Times
online in the UK, by the way, his channel owned and recorded
in the free Republic. His transformation into a quote
scholar soldier is perhaps one of the greatest achievements in
a remarkable career. Yeah, really? Oh, and apparently, his
biggest fan is Bill O'Reilly.
Hold on. Hold on, John. We're breaking up. Let me just see if
I can fix this. It's a it's an audio thing. Hold on.
His biggest fan is Bill O'Reilly.
Yeah, you know, you're on top then hold on. Let me see if I
can fix this. Okay, yeah, it fix I think,
ciao. Wow, what's going on? It sounds like lightning over
there.
Yeah, it's like bits breaking out but it's something internal.
I don't know. I just sent you a link. And if you want to know
what is actually killing our children, look at this latest ad
from Ralph Lauren. And this was distributed
remember this? This somebody photoshopped image of Photoshop
dad,
but I think it was actually distributed, wasn't it? Yeah, I
have not sure I can. No, I can't tell whether this was a hoax.
And I have never gotten to the bottom of the story.
The Mazzo
and this woman you know, is complaining I don't know. I
don't know what the deal is with this picture. Well, we just put
in the show notes and let people comment on it and we can it's a
bit it's really just says Ralph Lauren and and it got some woman
whose head is bigger than her pelvis head whose head is bigger
than her waist. It because they've shrunk her. They've
photoshopped her. So she's like, thin as a rail. And minimally
and I don't know it seems somewhat pointless. Yeah, but
now everybody's up in arms about
it. Well, yeah, but it's it's killing our kids. You know, they
this model who
is 120 pounds and five foot 10 says she decided to go public
after she saw that Photoshop ravage frame. 510 120 is thin.
It is and she was fired for being too fat. I don't believe
that. I think there's something wrong with the story. I think
there's a missing piece of the puzzle. She maybe was fired for
other reasons. Who knows? But being 510 and 120 is I don't
know if there's any models that listen to the show ha. But there
might be, give us the current stats on what's expected I know
used to be 58105 used to be some you do run into that, but 510,
you can carry 120 and look at it and still be thin as a rail.
So that I care. Before we get to our producer credits. For
today's show, John, I just wanted to open up discussion
with you about what's really going on with Russia, with Iran,
and China. And the US, of course, Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton was in Russia the other day, and she's not
just there to check out the borscht. Okay, there's reasons
why these people travel to those countries as much as she likes.
She's totally into that shit, as she said, I so into that shit.
Gazprom, of course, just closed a $25 billion deal with China to
deliver gas to them. And this is where Iran comes into play.
Because of course, we I think we can learn from a little bit of
history, that the whole idea now now it's they're not calling it
weapons of mass destruction, where they're calling it nuclear
devices, and that Iran is going to blow us up and they're going
to blow up Israel, and they're going to nuke everybody. And we
have to stop them. And we have to sanction them. And all this
crap that's going on, the Russians are basically saying, I
don't think so. Because we're actually like doing some pretty
good business. And, you know, and, and we want to kind of keep
things kind of cool. But who needs the Iranian? Iran, by the
way, has the world's largest natural gas reserves are
estimated 991 trillion cubic feet? And who needs that? Who
needs that? John? The Europeans need it. Yeah,
the Europeans do need it,
they need it desperately. And there's actually a shift going
on, I'm seeing it in all the newspapers. Now that oil is
above 70 bucks, its borders at 7375. Somewhere in that region.
at an all time low at the moment, gas, natural gas is at
an all time low. And I think that what's really going to
happen is a lot of countries are desperately trying to switch to
natural gas, because it's just that much cheaper. And it's
facing the United States, we got tons of natural gas, we that we
wouldn't need anything from anybody, we could completely be
self sustainable. I think
we got a lot of natural gas, we keep discovering more, we
actually have a lot of oil two that hasn't been tapped. There's
a there's a there's a thing underneath North Dakota, there's
a there's a series of oil deposits, that was almost as big
as Saudi Arabia that hasn't even been touched.
So let's put the pieces on the board. It's undeniable now. And
there's just too many really serious reports coming out that
the oil trade is now being switched to euros and the lawn
and baskets of currencies that include gold, I mean, everyone's
talking about it, no matter how much, you know, Gibbs stands up
on the podium and denies that it's happening. You know,
everyone's switching to stronger. By the way, there's
Gibson coked, up to you
totally, maybe he's on E. Sometimes he looks like he's on
MDMA trip.
But yes, it but he has it as I kind of know that star Doc can
read it through the doors a lot of the time ahead, when he talks
about it, there's nothing coming out of the dose that he has yet
that kind of the sound jumps and
we should totally pay attention to that we should look if he's
doing some nose touching. Now, I'll make that my mission for
for this week. So So Iran is becoming incredibly important.
Meanwhile, in the US, if we actually want to switch to
building this whole new gas infrastructure, we need to
finance it, we really need to finance it. And who's going to
do that that's typically China who aren't financing it anymore.
So we're kind of in this race, I think somehow, for the US to
switch to natural gas. And so our currency is, you know, not
even slowly but moderately quickly becoming no longer the
reserve currency of the world. That's the Euro which by the
way, is not all that good for for Europe that has its own
implications and problems.
Well, I've always believed that. I thought this was gonna happen
the last time the dollar folded and if you remember that, about
a year or so a couple of years ago, when all of a sudden the
pound fell like a rock and the euro was falling really fast and
the dollar was picking up steam member that yeah, and then you
know, boom, it turned right back around the dollars in the
toilet, the Euros a buck 47 Buck 50 That means you have to pay
50% More for stuff in Europe. It's ridiculous. And then the
pound is kind of holding its own about a buck 60 And so the
dollar starts collapsing again and we're supposed to have a
strong dollar policy. How about this for an interesting
scenario? The world changes it's with the dollar keeps kind of
declining and it looks weak and weak and weak and so on. So a
screw the dollar, we're losing our butts being in this thing,
let's switch over to the euro, buy high, sell low, switch over
to the euro and bend and do all these contracts in euros with it
with the oil. So that is let's say that you buy X amount for,
for for two euros. And, and then all of a sudden that once that's
all established the dollar skyrockets in value, because you
can turn it up and down with two different kinds of policies. And
the next thing you know, we're getting our oil at half price.
Because it's all well, I'm sorry, if you want to be with
the euro. And then we ended up getting a really good deal, the
economy gets cranked up again, and we're back on top. And then
everybody realizes that we've screwed the world financially
once more, which we're really good at, by the way, and I have
lots of confidence that we can do that kind of thing.
And by the way, just like to point out when you hear all this
great talk about a jobless recovery, which is Chris a
jobless recovery because the Dow was at 10,000 yet, but if you
calculate the dollar value, the Dow was really like it's seven
and a half 1000. It's you know, it's not the same 10,000 as it
was two years ago. It's a different 10,000 Because the
dollar is just
beside the point, this thing is overpriced. But the jobless
recovery thing, it's just and they keep talking about it as if
it was a good
thing. It's a meme. Yeah, just trying, hey, it's good. Hey, we
our economy has recovered Too bad you can't eat motherfucker.
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, just stated at the
World gas conference in Buenos Aires, that the US may never
need new coal or nuclear plants ever again, based upon our sweat
our pause our potential switch to natural gas. And by the way
cars run on that too. Yeah, it's good stuff. You can do a lot
with it. And I think it's pretty clean. John, am I wrong?
No, it's an outstanding product. You could actually light your
house with it him and they used to as a matter of fact, years
ago, before electricity, everything. Yeah, gas lamp in
the house.
So this is the kind of stuff that we that we consistently
look into. So we have a couple of things that we have to do
this week, I will be watching a lot of C span C span three,
which is only online, by the way, watching all of Robert
Gibbs presentations to see if he's coked out or not. And I
actually take that on as a challenge. He sounds that way.
And you know, just considering his job he might be. But we
spend a lot of time looking into this stuff. John does a whole
nother show with Andrew Horowitz talk specifically about the
markets and and the economy and how the money flows are going
and the type of analysis we're giving you even if it's not
true. The Norwegian Chicago connection. I think it's it's
worth more investigation. I'll keep on that. We do the work. We
do the work and we don't let ourselves get interrupted by
stupid ass commercials. let ourselves be limited by not
being able to talk about certain things that would piss off
advertisers. And the only way we can keep doing it is by you
donating to the show, it's just like PBS only we're not corrupt.
Right and we don't you know, necessarily. Well, we don't we
don't have any underwriters or anybody that you know, can tell
us what we can or cannot say. In fact, and let me go over this.
We did. We didn't actually get a lot of money in this last week.
I'm kind of disappointed but we did have some enough to get by.
And let me name a few people. John Trainor, Wilmington,
Delaware $50. Then we had Samuel Vander plank and we didn't get
much overseas money for we had just one and this is it Samuel
Vander plank. It was in, I guess as Leaper Belgium, lep. Er,
labor Yeah, yeah, he's gave us $77.70 And he wanted to mention
the the anti censorship thing going on in Switzerland on
October 31. And you should go to anti dash Zen sewer ze NSURZ en
su r dot info that's anti dash Zen sewer dot info. And there's
something going on in Europe that we need to catch up to
Aaron Toulon gave us 50 bucks and he wants us to mention surly
trader as you are L y trader.com. And he's in
Lawrenceville, Georgia and apparently are mentioning that
is a wedding gift to somebody. Oh, that's nice. Timothy
Tillman. Midlothian, Virginia gave us 100 Kenneth Kiel Holtz
in Hamilton, Ohio gave us 75 And Dr. Nan injures natural meds in
Port Jefferson, New York gave us 5151 Thank you. And then again
here we go. Again, Sterling Ellsworth, once again. repeats
his seven Only $7.77 cent donation from Santa Barbara. And
I've come to the conclusion that he's going to obviously do this
is a third time maybe he's going to do, I'm kind of guessing he's
going to do this like seven times it's a hostile takeover.
He's gonna do this like seven times, and then he's gonna get
got some lucky numbers and then he is going to go to the horse
track and go to the seventh race and set the horse number seven
and bet on horse number seven, and you know what's going to
happen with it all back. It's going to come in seven. And
finally, I love it. Bruce, sec. A sec. Sec got, you know, I had
the pronunciation done and I blew it. So cocido I think it's
the s ACC Oh, cci Oh, which I think it's a co CIO or circuit
CIO, probably circuit CIO. That would be that sounds right. Who
gave us 7733 to mention the fact that he that you mentioned, 7733
is a Masonic number. Yes. And he did some research and discovered
that many, if not most of the Masonic lodges, is their number,
the phone number usually incorporate 7733.
Absolutely. And that's what I think I think the Masons would
actually be on our side on this show.
Oh, probably, already. Thanks, Bruce. So that's our that's it.
Yeah, that's all we got.
I just did want to mention that besides the AIG bonuses coming
out, Goldman Sachs, who of course, actually were failed,
and then a turn they were allowed to turn into a regular
bank and a holding bank and they got they got billions of dollars
and were bailed out and they got 8 billion of the AIG bailout put
directly into their coffers. They're about to hand out $20
billion in bonuses to themselves as we are, you know, at the
can't we're not working for them.
It's our destiny, John. It is our destiny.
We could be in Paris right now shipping Beaujolais.
Hey, pretty soon. I'm gonna hook up that. That Cabernet sipping
session for you though.
What Cabernet sipping session
with Kim Jong Il. Oh, right. Right, right.
Yeah. How was that? Can you I was thinking, boy, boy, you
know, it's Bordeaux's. So I thought he had Cabernet was
Bordeaux. Yes. Bordeaux is a Bordeaux nut.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was cat. Well, I'm glad you
corrected me. Oh,
Cabernet would not prove, please.
It's gotta be Bordeaux. Hold on too much. By the way. I
want people to go to the dork.org/. Obama's at Union
Square. Yeah. Obama is at Union Square today.
What's he doing on Union squares shopping at Neiman Marcus.
Now he just did Obama came in to San Francisco to disrupt
traffic.
It's the house the traffic darling. By the way. Is
he ever in Washington anymore?
He's not in Washington. He has nothing to do there.
And which Obama is this? Is this the gray haired Obama which
Obama is
it? Is it the black haired Obama or the gray haired Obama? Oh,
it's she says the one with the green hair. The chia pet Obama.
Yeah, Obama's in San Francisco. Anyway, I just want to make
people aware of that. No agenda show.com is where they can
contribute to the show. I wish you would go there immediately.

executive producer again, John this week.
The executive producer was Timothy Tillman. And his
contribution was it was 100. So it's and we've gotten under the
wire. Usually that's that's rare. We don't get somebody who
can beat that.
Yeah, usually it's a little bit higher, but consider giving us a
bonus. I think it would be a great incentive. I'd feel really
good. And otherwise, you know, I just might have to go become the
sandwich lady because she's getting seven grand.
A sandwich. Here's your tip, honey. Good job.
It's a retention bonus. We have to give these people bonuses,
because otherwise they wouldn't want to do this crappy job at
