So they've destroyed 40 to 50 tons of food in the starving
area this to see these numbers don't make any sense. Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's October 25 2009. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 142 This is no agenda under Declaration
of National Emergency for the swine flu hen coming to you from
the minimum security containment cell and get mo nation West in
San Francisco, California. I'm the crackpot Adam curry
and from sunny northern Silicon Valley and the top of the hill
I'm John C. Dvorak hill
it isn't it sunny here to John a little late what for the sun
no for us to be doing the show we're 20 minutes behind schedule
it's a Sunday you know the the Church of the church have no
agenda can only really commence when the high priests already
you know, it just takes us Yeah. It just takes us a little while
to get into it all. Last night, I went to what what's rn 47? Is
that the name of the restaurant?
Yeah, I've you know, I've been meaning to go. How is it?
It's not bad. It's a little it's one of these places that it's in
the millennium tower, which is a huge was I guess condo complex
in San Francisco.
Yeah, and that's the tower death right?
No, no, no, no, that's the Rincon tower.
No, I thought the tower Oh, okay. Rincon towers
up on Harrison. That's the that's the tower of death next
to the Bay Bridge. Now this is the Millennium tower. So it's
kind of a loft feel to it. But it's like, you know, it's one of
these places where it's not cheap. So it's one of these top
of the range type loft style places. It's who's a dumb guy.
It's one of those famous dudes who put this one together.
Minute, minute, minute and and the music is just a little bit
too loud.
You know, men lost both stars for Aqua.
They just came out I saw I saw the stars that just come out.
No, I can only see.
Yeah, no Minda losses. Two stars at Aqua had undeservedly good,
but you know, it's I guess somebody finally figured that
out and boom, they gave him pulled the plug on him. And then
they he lost one of his stars for the Michael Minar restaurant
in the St. Francis, which I don't think is deserving of a
star either. It looks like because it did because they
pulled a bait and switch on me with a wine selection once it's
still irks me. So this
aren't 47 is supposed to have the great wine selection, which
I did not sample at all, because of course, I didn't have my wine
bitch there. To select an appropriate bottle,
you can always call
it so the food was good. I'll have to say I had a pumpkin
soup, which was really nice. And of course in season. And then I
had I had to have this it was jumping out on me and the menu
Liberty farm Doc. I'm like, Hey, Clifford, every farm doc, yes.
Literally, if I've got the incoming. I was like, yeah,
that's perfect. It was really good. But just the ambiance is
just too light. And they build it like a train station. And it
was funny because I'm sitting there. And we kind of had the
Hollywood table at the very end, which was a really, it's an even
quieter than the rest of the place. And I kept hearing this.
I'm like, What the hell is that noise? And I realized we're
sitting underneath the schedule board, which is an old fashion,
like in a train station where the the numbers and the letters.
Let me flip over. Yeah. And it's cool. I mean, then that's nice.
Give me so what is it? What's on what's on the board? What does
it say? Does it have a menu on
places you're going to?
You're not going we're not really going hey, this is a
scam.
And it's like if you've ever sat in the train station, this is
one of the places you don't want to eat ever. So I'm not quite
sure how it relates to fine dining, but it's a theme.
Well, before we continue to show I want to announce our executive
producer for this week show. There's actually two people we
could give kudos to but we'll bring up the second one who's a
new night later, but this executive producer is actually
Sterling Ellsworth Okay, came in with a $77.77 and he made a note
that this is the sixth time in a row he's given this money
was one more time right and then we'll never hear from again wait
wait wait one more or 77 more times we don't No
no, no. After the next time only 70 more times. Because that's
cool though. I mean, the guy's definitely been been been
donating a lot and it's highly appreciated. So He is the
executive producer of episode 142 have no agenda. It's almost
like you can put an episode of lost on your resume if you're
the executive producer. You know, you'll say Episode like,
yeah, that's what they do. Others, the others are coming,
that would be the episode title. Right? So wait until you see the
show posted, then you'll know what the episode title is. And
then you can put that on your resume. Yeah, and we vouch it
totally anything you send us we'll sign
unread. So as long as it's not a blank check with my name.
Okay, where are you like to start John bank and drug
running?
Let's start with something light. Okay. There is an I have
a clip. Nice. So it seems as though their Fox and the Obama
administration have gotten into a pissing contest.
Yeah, this is this is kind of weird. And, you know, I think
our take is the same, John that this is just a huge distraction,
you know, because you can't get it any better to distract the
public from real news than having the news guys arguing
with other news, guys about news guys not being news, guys,
because the President said so I mean, it's just my mind is like
build a little bit.
Yeah, no, it's actually actually quite humorous. But, but
meanwhile, and I don't know if they're doing this on purpose,
because I don't see how these people can afford these ads. But
they're running on Fox, specifically on Fox the
following ad. You can see it on there. The Obama mentioned, I
think we should play it. Change has come to America. On Fox is
now yes, we care
to commemorate the inauguration of our 44th President with a
well known American Icon introducing GIA Obama, this to
Obama is a special edition and collector's item. Just spread
the seeds, water and watch it grow. Your chi Obama is a symbol
of liberty, opportunity, prosperity, and hope. Chi Obama
makes the statement. I'm proud to be an American. displayed on
your desk, in your home, at your school, to school, show pride
and support with chia Obama. Get your collectible Chia Obama. And
with this special offer order to Chia Obama's and Shipping and
handling is free. Call toll free
so you know both Mickey and Christina when they first saw
this because this has been running for quite a while on on
Fox. They both thought it was a spoof that it was a spoof ad and
I'm like no no, it's like a real ad. But the more I hear it, the
more I'm thinking there's got to be some huge organization behind
this who was actually just set this up as a spoof and they're
actually shipping them out obviously because it's real
ya know, the thing has got Yes, we can carved into the side of
it. It's a stupid looking thing. And you can get
you can get two versions by the way, you can get the pensive
looking Obama Chia or the yes we can Obama chia, there's two
different kinds.
And anyway, they're running this ad on the O'Reilly show, which
is the most expensive of all these Fox news programs. It's
also my understanding that along with the Snuggie This is the
first or the second most successful product being sold in
the United States at the moment.
You know, it's pretty unbelievable. I went to the
Seattle airport recently and there's they have this cute
shopping it's called fireworks isn't like the and they have all
these trendy little things and they have a whole bunch of Obama
stuff. They have Obama dolls Obama actually Obama action
figures. And then they have this one which is Obama. I was gonna
buy him and give them to you as a gift. But they're like they're
like $7 It was just wasn't it just
not gonna spend seven bucks on me
night spent seven bucks on you not but not for a little little
bitty can have mints. But there it gets it says on the candidate
is Obama minutes. And then on the site. It says yes, we can D
Oh, man. That's pretty nice. So this brings to mind a question
that I'm not quite understanding what the heck's going on here?
Because doesn't Obama have rights to his image even even if
he's the president, United States, and so far as commercial
products are concerned and doesn't he? Shouldn't he be in
touch with one of these licensing bureaus and be getting
a piece of the actual
Yeah, you're presuming that he's not.
I am presuming that he's not. I'm presuming that he is. I'm
presuming that he's not because there's somebody would have
uncovered the deal. I can't believe for a minute that
someone hasn't written about as well, Obama. And what does he
get? I mean, good. I get the sense that people just doing
whatever they feel like with the Obama image and they're just
cranking stuff out and nobody, nobody hears from anyone. Well,
I don't I'm not thinking I would
think that. As long as it's not as long as it's not disparaging.
I bet you can get a get away with anything and it's highly
encouraged by the administration. I bet the moment
you do a product that is, you know a
Bama chia?
Oh, that's that's totally cool dude, that's this is our
culture. We this is the country of the pet rock with the footage
talking about
Andy I mean, come on,
it's all a part of the mind control. It's good. You know, if
you have think about the the inherent benefits to the to the
administration of the Obama Qi, you know, you're displaying it
at school, which by the way, how can that I mean, that's huge to
display to even say displayed at school whereas, you know, there
was such a ruckus over the President doing a speech to to,
to the students of the country. Now, you'd want to display this
thing at school? No, I'm pretty sure that they're okay with it.
You know, it's all a part of the cult of personality, which is
back and instead of just suppositions, now, I think that
the thing that would sell to a lot of people would be Obama
marionette.
I like it. Let's do it. Now you too, can control the most
powerful man in the universe, watch him dance, and you can
make the mouse move and have little healthcare, healthcare,
healthcare, healthcare insurance reform. As cool we can we can
certainly make why don't we just make the commercial?
Maybe somebody out there big law to make sure someone
would make that it's the Obama marionette. Now you too can own
a piece of history. Now you do can be Rahm Emanuel pulling the
strings from above? Yes, we can just we can. Like it, the Obama
Marionette we should have. Why don't we should write the copy
for it. I mean, think about all the cool things you could say.
Now this ancient art form comes to your living room.
Right? Loves in China.
Now this ancient art, this ancient art form, practice in
China for many years with all of our presidents.
I like it, then you had to have some little kids and stuff, you
know?
Yeah, make it make a note and eat it, please. So so that we
actually do that. That is too funny. That's a good, what else?
Does a lot?
Well, the thing I guess the top of the news, in terms of using
the public is the delight, one of our last ditch efforts to get
people to start taking this swine flu thing is that the
emergence of national emergency, somehow it's become a national
emergency. Well, I by the way, the death count is is 1000. So I
think that's worldwide. Yeah. Which is about about a good
nine. You know, it's I mean, that normally in the US alone,
we have 36,000, from seasonal flu. So this is not performing
well.
Well. So there's a couple of very specific things about this
national emergency. And I think we have different types of
national emergencies. This is actually the kind that the exact
same form of emergency that was signed just before Katrina hit,
and a couple of other it's usually used for hurricanes and
and that type of natural disasters. And what enables the
health secretary to do our friend Miss Sebelius is to do a
couple of special things such as set up other plates, that triage
units outside of hospitals to treat patients, and also get
federal funding for it. So I think the rule is, if you so
let's say you don't want all these people who are puking and
moaning and groaning, you don't want them in the hospital. So
you can set up tents on the lawn. And as long as and without
this emergency proclamation, you can have tents within 250 feet
of the hospital itself, and federal funds can still be
appropriated towards it now with this, they can move it as far as
they want. And of course, I'm thinking FEMA camps. That's the
place to put the fuckers and, and the other part is, you
won't, the hospitals won't have to go through the rigorous forms
that you have to fill out. They can basically just say, What's
your name? And then they can treat you that's, that's what I
understand this to be about. Oh,
well, it could be. But I was.
I was. Yeah, go ahead.
I just don't see him lined up. You know what, I will be sick
people lined up, people go home, you know, they get the sniffles
they go home for these are short lived flu. Yeah, a good flu last
five days.
But this is also the thing if you watch television, which I
desperately try to avoid, you kind of get the idea that you
know, even the flu.gov and is reporting widespread swine flu
and it's all you know, it's 46 of all 50 states. You know, by
the way, we which ones aren't so I can go move there. And you get
the feeling that you know that all these people are dying and I
I'm just not seeing it in my, in my vicinity. I'm just not seeing
it around me. I'm not seeing it yet. Yeah, that. So we probably
have on any given day four or five people out of, you know, so
maybe 7% of our workforce at naevia was ill you know, okay,
that's with any type of flu season you can expect that I'm
not
sure how many people have been or just stay at home
like Oh, I feel I don't feel good. I'm gonna stay and you
gotta you gotta we got to slide flow.
I love those emails. Hey, I woke up not feeling too good working
from home today. I hate those. If you're sick just be sick and
sick and shut up about it. You know, sick is sick. Don't get me
this working from home. Don't work. If you're sick don't work,
please, please get better don't work. So yeah, I'm not I'm not
seeing it either. Although, you know, I've had this ongoing
conversation and, and she finally blogged about it and
actually undertook action. Our friend Molly wood over there at
CNET. She actually twittered. She said, Yeah, hell yes. I got
my son vaccinated. Sorry, Adam. Like if you had to do that. And
she has his heart
he had him like, like, you're the one guy
who was telling her not to do it. And, and she wrote this huge
blog post, and, of course, everything that that is, you
know, like, oh, all these cynical people, and we're all
going to die. She points to everything prison planet.com and
everything. And that works. Yeah, but every, every
everything is like, well, it's clearly not true. And then she
points to fact check.org I'm like, No, anyone who uses
factcheck.org as as their absolute truth, you know, should
be on the board of Wikipedia. So anyway,
so did Molly get a shot to
know even better, and I have high respect and I love Molly to
death
that she thinks there's any reason we can't slammer?
I'm not going to slam her but it's she's an excellent specimen
of the mind control that has been exerted upon the populace
because she actually wrote You know, I'm not getting my swine
flu shot just yet because I want because we don't have enough so
I'm going to wait until other children and pregnant mothers
have had theirs and then I'll go get mine
thing to post
you should love it. Oh, man, I just like oh boy. All righty
then did you know by the way, and one of our producers sent
this to me there is an excise tax on on the swine flu vaccine
you were talking about excites excise taxes
and there is yes what a scam that is supposed to be which was
really making the public healthy not finding another excuse to
tax
check it out. So this is the title of this document is like
then this is this was released in its form 720 which was
revised in April of 2009. And let's do this taxes on weird
shit right? I think we probably knew this like Arrow shafts,
certain types of Arrow shafts. There's excise tax. So the
vaccine tax very interesting. So this is IRS number 97. The taxes
imposed on the sale or use of a vaccine manufactured produced or
entered into the United States at 7075 cents per dose if it
contains and then it has a whole bunch of like dipped area toxoid
tetanus So basically every single vaccine that is out there
if it's against measles mumps rubella, hepatitis A, the
rotavirus gastroenteritis areata tours or the cumin Papa Mala
virus, so the HPV so essentially, you know, this is
like the scam is so incredibly clear. We get it was like okay
healthcare industry, bio Big Pharma, we're going to we're
going to help you push this agenda through for giving boys
anti cervical cancer vaccines boys and and then we're going to
charge you and it also says right here if it is a trivalent
vaccine against influenza. And then here's how they do it
though. And this is kind of cool. If any taxable vaccine is
combined with one or more additional taxable vaccines then
the taxes imposed on each vaccine included in the
combination example, MMR contains three taxable vaccine,
vaccines measles, mumps and rubella. So the tax per dose on
MMR is three times seven East 75 cents is $2.25 so, you know,
there's like a huge tax on this vaccine thing.
So when they produce the 100 million doses that amounts to
about
$70 million or more, yeah a little more Yeah $75 million.
Not bad. This whole
bad for a walk in the park,
but all this you know, there's also something called a lust tax
which I don't quite understand what that rushed L U S. T. Lust
tak oh and inland waterways fuel use so it must be some kind of
fuel thing.
You know, if people really realize how many how many tax
how much we are actually taxed. Oh dude, I'm firstly income tax
10% sales tax 10% average state income tax, personal state
income tax 10% 10% sales tax, the 20 30%. Federal income tax,
like gasoline tax, excise tax here excise test tax there. If
you go to a hotel, you spend as much in taxes as you do for the
room, if you go to the airport, you're being taxed tax taxes a
million taxes, you sit the $49 ticket comes out to you about 65
bucks, which means 20 bucks or so in taxes were paid, we must
be spent doing you know, we you know, people all we are low
taxes in the United States shit, that's bull.
So the air transportation taxes. They even have taxes for charter
flights. And they've raised them of course, these have all these
have all gone up, and they charge it per flight segment.
Here's an example. They even provide examples, handy examples
in January 2009, Frank Jones pays $265.20 to a commercial
airline for flight in January from Washington to Chicago with
an intermediate stop and Cleveland. The flight comprises
two segments, the price includes the $240 fare and the $25.20
excise tax, which is 10%. So over seven and a half, no, seven
and a half percent, it's 240 times seven half percent, plus
two times $3.60, for which Frank is liable. The airline collects
the tax from Frank and pays it over to the government. So the
airlines are basically an extended arm of the IRS. Yeah.
And also they're their tax collectors. And they are and
aren't the airlines already paying tax on their fuel.
And if they make any profit income tax, oh, the fuel
the fuel that paying taxes on their profits, and then they're
collecting bogus taxes, buy it from us. And that's all if you
if you count that as a additional tip because it's
being passed to you. I mean, the taxes that they're that they're
paying to the government for profits is, you know, just added
into the fair. So you're paying that too. Yeah, I can't imagine
what I mean I wish somebody out there would actually because I
heard a guy go through a bunch of these taxes once in some talk
show
but didn't wasn't done. We have a producer was working on that
trying to get us the true taxable tax rate for American
citizens based upon all this stuff. And he kind of went away
he went off the radar I think. Anyway, use of international air
facilities. There's a $16.10 cent per person tax for flights,
the beginner end in the United States. There's also a tax on
communication and air transportation for use of local
intellitype writer service I mean, it's crazy.
It is crazy ticket if
you're using a teletypewriter then you shouldn't
be what are they doing with all this money? They're just they're
just giving it to bankers. I mean, I can't believe that this
is going on and people i Oh, here's what the thing that kills
me because this happens because I do all these you know, these
shows like cranky geeks and things before that. And we'll be
in a discussion and someone invariably some one person
somewhere Well, I think they're gonna have to raise taxes or
they don't I don't think it's a bad thing because it's uh, you
know, we can do we can afford it no taxes. Anyway, there's people
that actually advocate, as far as I'm concerned that the word
taxes in the conversation, I'm against it, because I realized
that we were already taxed to death. And so why would you want
to add to the burden last week? I wish somebody would give us an
order. It's got to be 70% plus close
to it last night dinner was 9.5% state tax and then another two
and a half percent tourist tax dude, I live here. I'm gonna
frickin tourist. I gotta pay a tourist tax.
Oh, I never knew that in San Francisco. There's now another
2%. So in other words, your 12% tax on top of an 18% Tip.
No, I gave 10. I'll give a like I'm sorry. I can't afford your
tip because of the taxes. Let me just get back to the marketing
of the of the of the vaccine. I'd like you to take a look at
this link that I'm sending you John from MLB. That's Major
League Major League Baseball. You can join the I've got the
flu vaccine sweepstakes, yay, and get your free tickets to
game for the link and then Our friend,
I got the flu vaccine sweepstakes.
No purchase necessary because it's free. I guess you get a
shot and then you get registered for a game for something like
that.
Yeah, your odds of winning are extremely lousy.
If everyone gets it, so Sebelius was pushing this thing on school
kids. And they have a beautifully animated cartoon
with a little song that goes along with it. Now, seeing the
animation is really and this is on the White House website.
whitehouse.gov. And the animation is just fantastic. But
I want you to listen to the lyrics of this song because it
is just freaky. It's we're ready to stop on that virus. That's
our goal. So come on, everybody. We're getting a little bored.
It's gonna help a whole lot. Let's get the shot Johnny nation
is a great opportunity to do something for yourself and your
community. Small spread if we don't
don't get the virus. I won't give it to you. If you don't
give it to me. I will give it if I don't get it. I won't give it
to them. If I don't get the virus, I won't give it to you.
So the end is actually worth it. It's coming. Everybody. Justin
I'm ready for my study. Now you see the actually administering
shots into these kids arms?
Ouch. Isn't that the most sad thing?
One of the things by the way, as someone who knows how to
administer a shot, it doesn't actually hurt at all. No, you
don't feel a little pinch? Maybe you don't know even the I've had
people that you wouldn't even know that she was done. Yeah.
You know, experts. But of course, you know, they're having
pharmacists do these? That's disgusting.
It really is at let me just read from the blog post on Thursday,
October 21 students, parents and educators from the Washington DC
area joined Department of Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius for a screening of an episode of the
animated series Sid the Science Kid so of course now they're
also making it science. You know, just like Al Gore did with
global warming, you know, the science is in there's no
disputing the science. This was hosted at the Department of
Education, education, they watched suit in his classroom
friends as they learned about the flu and visited the school
nurse to get vaccinated for influenza. And I'm thinking, you
know, how can we haven't had this type of a drive for other
vaccinations? You know, for it for stuff like MMR as an
example. I mean, the push is so hard and to me if I just looked
at the the grand scale and on the last episode of no agenda,
we looked at the pipeline for the for big pharmaceutical
companies in particular GlaxoSmithKline. And the
pipeline, it's all about vaccines, the it's it appears to
be the future of Big Pharma is in vaccines, they've got an AIDS
vaccine, which of course probably doesn't work. Probably,
you know, they've been pushing the the HPV vaccine, which
unbelievably this anti cervical cancer vaccine now also being
approved for boys who don't have a cervix as far as I know,
if you haven't, if you haven't noticed, although, yeah, you
never
know. You know, it's just like, wow, you know, this is it and,
and, and people say, Oh, you're an anti Vaxxer you know, I'm not
an anti Vaxxer but I do think that the idea the idea that that
that kids get 20 to 30 vaccines before their you know, before
they can like walk just seems wrong, you know, there's just
there's just too much going on here and I guess this is the
future of healthcare is don't worry it may hurt a little bit
but it'll help a lot go ahead and bend over bitch and take the
shot. And that's going to save us all from everything. But it's
I don't know it's
gonna provide a lot of tax at tax benefits.
We Yeah, the tax benefits of Kleenex and if
it's horrible it's just sent me a note that says supposedly
massive orders for body bags on the hush in the in the
Northeast.
Oh, really? I mean, there's always there's always you know,
the body bags and the plastic coffins and I think
that's just uh, you know, you want to it's probably not that
much on the hush if he knows about it. He lives in Florida.
And let's face it this Horowitz
what does that mean? He's thinking to himself he's
listening on iPhone, by the way didn't know we can get the
stream on the
You Can we have this like three iPhone apps that you can get
from the iTunes store.
We need to get doing official one. But anyway, I
think this is a form of mind control that goes just beyond
beyond anything I would have expected out of our government.
It goes way too far.
It's gone way too far. But I don't think it's that you mean
it's kind of effective. I mean, obviously affected Mollywood who
actually went through the work I mean, if normally if somebody
like for example, listening to you go on and on about
something, and then then you with some critique of the, of
the system and the way it works. Normally people I think, and I
think the average not the average listener to this show,
but the average American would either gonna go yeah, I'll get
one or I won't get one and I kind of go into the kind of
detail that requires them to start doing research on the
internet
thing as you get to the research on the internet, and if you go
to flu.gov You know, they've got these big things you know, big
big FAQs and big reality check stickers and logos and refuting
everything that you know that certainly that we've brought to
light and the crazy thing is if you read and this this is such a
red flag to me go to flu.gov If you go to flu.gov and you go to
the FA Q's and right at the top there is one of our main shit
Hold on a second one is that it was about the adjuvants How come
they change it will they change the site every single frickin
day? You know so there's a question about adjuvants Hold on
I really want to get this I'm sorry Wow crap they make this
stuff so difficult to understand. Oh myths and facts
here it is straight talk about the flu and you can you believe
the latest? So here's the here's the question the h one n one
vaccine includes adjuvants such as squealing and then here's the
answer none of the h one n one vaccines currently distributed
by the US government contains adjuvants so the word currently
is important. That's the key word Yeah,
that's the that's the that's the bullshit.
So and then all they all each one no one vaccines using United
States are licensed by the FDA are made in the very same way as
seasonal influenza vaccines are made currently being currently
seasonal, seasonal flu vaccines United States are also made
without adjuvants, then right underneath it if needed. Hello,
if needed. An adjuvant is a component that can be
incorporated into a vaccine to help to help to generate a
stronger immune response to the vaccine and help prevent
disease. Bullshit. Squalene is a compound found in many natural
sources such as olive oil that can act as an adjuvant and is
used as an adjuvant in vaccines in many countries. So you know,
they're setting you up right there isn't yet right now
there's no adjuvants, but it's coming. The evaluation of any
vaccine by the Food and Drug Administration considers the
safety effectiveness and the immune responses and includes
consideration of all components of the vaccine. So essentially,
they're saying it's not in there right now. But if needed, so
what does that tell you if needed, they don't say why it
might be needed.
I know it's just a vague kind of thing.
And I just don't understand all the you know, the CDC releases
their, their VIPs statements, their Vaccine Information
Statement, and they say, you know, no one under two should
get this yet. On flu.gov. They're saying, hey, if your kid
is six, you know, no problem. And you hear pregnant women
shouldn't get it. And then oh, pregnant women should get it. So
yeah, that shit is going to happen. And it's already
happening in Sweden. There's tons of people getting sick. At
least it's being reported from the vaccine. Have you ever been
tracking this, John?
Not at all. No, no.
Let me let me just find it here. Yeah, it was like 100 people
already taken ill I think a couple of people died. Here we
goes. People are dying in the vaccine in Sweden. Of course, a
lot of these reports are unfortunately in Swedish. Makes
it rough. Makes it a little rough to actually check the
end. You know, this thing that you think there may be I don't
want to sound like the crackpot here. But you'd think that at
some point in history, like 10 years ago, we would have had the
kind of tools and massive computing power that could
actually do reasonably good machine translations. But that's
never happened. And every time a good trend insulation program or
some superstar comes up with a good translation program or
guide. I've met some of these guys to actually understand how
to do it right. They all get bought up by some conglomerate
and that product just disappears off the face of the earth. I
can't tell you how many translation products
disappeared.
So I'm I'm not sure what type of vaccine they are using in the
kingdom of Sweden but I do have a couple of links here to
Swedish articles with the translations for you in English
and you'll find that in the show notes at no agenda show.com. So
suspect death because of vaccine these are crude translations
obviously suspicious deaths of vaccine Medicines Agency isn't
of vaccines Medicines Agency, I guess it's the health services
is now investigating a death in which a a heart stroke patient
fell ill with chest pains and died one day after vaccination
against the swine flu. Here to people die soon after
vaccination too seriously, ill people have died after being
vaccinated against swine flu. So I don't know if they were
already ill. But this is a 55 year old, stronger side effects
than other vaccines and other Swedish report. So you know,
Sweden is definitely reporting something there seems to be
something we're reporting
nothing. Everything's great.
Yeah. Or, as we like to say, don't look over here, nothing to
see. Look at that. There's one other there's one other theory
that I really liked about, about the swine flu, you know, I've
been, I've been looking for the bank holiday when, of course,
everything closes and the banks are shot. And that's when, when
the dollar collapses, which is kind of the way it happened in
in the Great Depression. We need we need that that and all the
conspiracy theorists and fellow crackpots are all looking for
the bank holiday when it's all going to happen. And then it
kind of dawned on me, there's two things that could take
place. First of all, the banks could shut down because they are
petri dishes, just petri dishes of swine flu, I tell you shut
all the banks. That would not be outside the realm of
possibility.
You have to shut down sporting events first. And they're never
going to do that. Well, no, there's too
much money. But you know, that would be like putting Tsa, tsa
on trains and subways? I mean, that would be that would be too
crazy. You know, terrorists don't actually attack those
except in England and Spain. But wouldn't it be interesting if we
had to get rid of paper money? Because, you know, money? That's
a good one. I like that. I could Yeah, yeah, I get it because
paper money is covered with
germs. So I think we all should go to plastic money, no more
paper money for you. You need to use your double action.
Yes, you mentioned it, you have to take it one step further.
Which is, if you remember, they've already pre conditioned
us for these new credit cards that don't need to be swiped.
They've got an RFID chip in them, and you just have to hold
them near the device and shuts up to sucks up the numbers,
which would also be
a beautiful way to kind of fix a lot of this. A lot of our
monetary base problem, just get all the money in circulation out
of circulation. Keep it around a computer where it's all
completely manipulable and then manipulate it into billable.
Yeah, well, let's put it this way. Thank God for the Chinese
and the mob. Why the Chinese are cash oriented. And there's not
going to put up with this crap and the mob is hey, it's a cash
business. Yeah. Yeah. Well,
take a look at this picture, John, which I'm gonna send you a
link to right now. This came out yesterday as an official state
portrait of the Obamas. And, and I'm looking at this and I'm
saying what a piece of crap. Who decided to take this picture?
There's doors open in the background. Now the Obama family
looks beautiful. They look they look fantastic. They're in the
foreground. But you know, it's like it's in the green room or
whatever. And it's like, there's no, there's no flags. There's no
nothing it's just that like three chairs they throw and this
is done by the famous photographer, Annie Lieber,
which that's what blew me away. This is an Annie Leibowitz
picture like no way this is crap
and you know what's funny about that there was some I was
watching CNN or one of the channels and they were they when
this picture first came out, and then it's an Annie lever was
Annie lever was Annie Lee was what a beautiful picture. I've
never seen anything like it. It's the most beautiful picture
ever made. It's
a piece of crap. And it's not the Obamas look great. But you
know there's there's no no lighting, I mean for any
Liebowitz. I mean, I know she's hit on some hard times but man
that she had to she has to stoop to this to make this crappy
piece of shit. This is not as I'm embarrassed for my country.
For this to be the state portrait of the First Family I'm
truly embarrassed is horrible.
I think you've made your point. Okay, by the way, I play the
SWOT you were over with the swine flu discussion hit the
theme.
board when it caught me off guard, I was still. I was fuming
about an Liebowitz took it on a Canon Canon EOS one. Yeah,
great. Yeah, that's like that. What happened to you know, she'd
be using like one of those. One of those was, what is it? That
big expensive camera called Hasselblad so Blad? Yeah, that
with a digital back, that's what she should be using? No, instead
of that she's using a Canon II. Yeah, I don't. Something's very
wrong with
that. Maybe she had to sell her Hasselblad to pay taxes. My
favorite
new Congressman has got to be Alan Grayson. Oh, that idiot
from Florida. I'm liking this guy more and more. I really am
had Did you see him grill the the attorney for the Federal
Reserve?
No, I didn't. I missed that one. Did you tape it? Yeah, hold on a
second. It's all reserve ever tried to manipulate the US stock
market.
So he's so he's really so there's almost no one there. By
the way, in whatever committee this was, and he's asking and
this lawyer. I mean, I've had lawyers, this would not be my
lawyer. I mean, like, Okay, you're a wimp, get the fuck out.
You're not representing me. So this is supposed to be the head
counsel for the Federal Reserve. And Grayson is grilling him.
It's a grace and grilling on if the Federal Reserve has ever
manipulated the stock market. Now, of course, we all know the
answer. But listen to this weasel guy who just can't seem
to get out of it and grace and have to say he's really grilling
him and I like it.
No, sir. Not that I'm aware of.
Not that you're aware of. But you're the attorney. Right?
That's right. So you might not even know right?
I would expect to know if there were something like that being
done. I'm not aware of that at all.
And if you didn't know, you'd be bound by attorney client
privilege. And you wouldn't be able to tell us right?
Sir, if there was something the federal reserve were doing
outside its legal authority, I would have an obligation to say
something about that. Alright. So
we agree that any participation by the Federal Reserve in the
stock market or the futures market is outside the Federal
Reserve's legal authority, right?
The Federal Reserve has some authority to regulate various
aspects of markets and participate in markets in
certain ways. So I think your question is two categorical, but
I think not actually. Why don't you answer?
I don't know. What would I don't know your question is so broad I
don't know where to begin to answer that. I don't think it's
that overbroad.
I just like to get the guy's demeanors funny.
You got to admit he's he's Oh, yeah. No, the guys laugh riot.
And anyway, so it's like a five and a half minute clip. But it's
certainly the two main things that come out of it is, hey, can
we audit the gold is all the gold on the Fed's balance sheet
actually in the Federal Reserve? And the guy says, yeah, so can
we audit that? The guy says, Yeah, I guess you could. But the
big thing is, he's saying okay, so how does the Federal Reserve
participate in the markets? And then he goes into Yeah, well,
for interest rates and jobs and all this shit. And, you know,
it's about the front running. And of course, finally, the, the
attorney has to admit that JP Morgan Chase is actually
executing trades for the Federal Bank, Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, which, of course, is a major portion and major part of
the Federal Reserve. So it's interesting, though, and I'm
liking this Grayson guy, he's, he's a Democrat. He's just kind
of kooky. And he dresses kooky. And he smiles in that evil kind
of way. And he's new, right? He's new to the game on Yeah.
And they're trying to shut him up. The Democrats hate this guy.
That's mo maybe that's why I like him. Could be. He's cool.
Yes. Cool. I mean, I mean, he's amusing. I find him amusing, but
he's also full of shit. I mean, I just comes I've heard him to
do stuff. They're just like, What are you? What are you
crazy? So I mean, I don't take them too seriously. Let's put it
that way.
So my prophecy is coming true, although not entirely my own. Of
course, we know about the Trilateral Commission and the
entire concept of having a European Union and American
Union and an Asian union and then bringing those three
together into a one world government with as one huge
central bank and one central world government. And we're
getting pretty close to the North American union with Canada
and Mexico and the United States. And in Thailand, just
yesterday, Asian Asian leisure leaders pledged to overcome
their differences and push towards the formation of an EU
style community as they wrap up their annual summit in Thailand
on on it's actually today. So there you go. They're going to
build the association of South East nations, which already
exists, of course, and they're going to make that into its own
political and economic community by 2015.
So that you were will have your trilateral. Yeah. And the poor
saps in South America. Don't they get a piece of the action
or Africa? Yes.
No will the African Union already exists? But yeah, they
just need to shut up and sit down and just give us your
minerals.
South America is going to have to form with some giant country
like the non giant enough already.
Well, I'm just saying there's, I mean, the way it's working you
know, there is still you know, you still have Chile is by
itself small, it's very small. And Peru's by itself. It's not
that big Ecuador. These one of these countries hate each other,
though. It's kind of a problem. Which is also a problem by the
way in the EU, which is going to result in a civil war. That's my
prediction.
Yeah, I think that's a you might be you might be spot on about
that. And it'll be kind of par for the course. Right?
Yeah, no, it's just another version of the French hating the
Germans. So why don't you play the the guy that this British
guy
who wrote I saw this Obama land Yeah, I
got I had to edit this way down because I didn't realize until I
listened to this this interview that back is one of the world's
worst interviewers
are because the the questions can't be scripted. He actually
has to think when he when he goes to ask a question. So he's
got like bullet points or something some version of that
on the on the priority a
guy wants to the guys jumping in jumping in and Becca's goofing
around making jokes. You know, and the guy's got a lot of good
things to say I got cut most of the best stuff out of the
interview, because he just it was like, it was like, I got
about three minutes out of this interview. And the thing went
for at least 12 minutes is mostly back goofing around. I
mean, he's talking about you know, he's making jokes and puns
and while at the same time he's sympathetic with this guy's
point of view. But I thought that guy had a few really
interesting things to say about England.
It's so funny you say that because I watched this this
interview and I didn't know about the book and I have
ordered it although I've lived the book. Because you probably
have it in there about the about the trash bins. Yeah, that's
that Deanna have that too. So I won't, I won't give that one
away. But it's a this does completely come back to my
assertion that the Europe and actually in particular, the
United Kingdom is the beta test for what we're about to go into
here in the United States,
which is what this guy's thesis is. Yeah, I guess. But for
how long? Here's James Delingpole author of Welcome to
Obama land. I've seen your future and it doesn't really
work. James, welcome to the program, sir. Hey, Glenn. Thanks
for having me.
By the way, the guy looks so frickin goofy. Yeah, he's
great. He looks like he should be on The Daily Show.
For a moment that you're watching, is this a joke? Is
this like part of the we're gonna see the Obama Chia Pet ad
next or what is this guy? But he's serious? Sure.
Do you watch this program over in England at all?
By the way? That is what I mean. Like he doesn't know that Fox
News is available on Sky, you know, owned by by the owner of
sky means. Glenn Beck is your a disc jockey, man. Stop it.
Yeah, we're quite big, big fans of we're bigger fans of Fox over
here then President Obama. Yeah, white coat viewing?
I didn't didn't know if you knew what you were getting into here.
Over
over here. I know. You're You're a wild and dangerous guy.
Yes. I know. It's crazy. Okay. What I wanted to talk to you
about is, you say you've lived the Obama plan. You've seen our
future. Tell me a little bit about the future. Yeah, I am
like your Nostradamus because what you're experiencing now in
America, we've been living for the last 12 years. First under
the Obama prototype, the grinning monkey, Tony Blair. And
secondly, under the aging Polit bureau chief Gordon Brown. I've
had liked
that comment, the politburo chief that was good, was really
good.
And we've we've experienced socialism, and this is what's
going to happen to you and Fred. Okay.
By the way, the fact that he's calling us socialism kind of
bummed me out, because it's really it's a different form.
It's corporatism. It's not really social. Yeah. Which is
fascism. As a matter of fact, it is. And I wish that people would
get that straight, that it's fascism, corporate, you know,
maybe corporatism is a little softer word to use, but it's not
really socialism.
We're having problems because they're now saying, there were
these two women, they were like, I'm gonna drop my my son or
daughter over to your house and then they get on the bus at your
house, etc, etc. And the state came in and said, You can't do
that. That's a daycare. You have rules for carpools. If you're
going to take a bunch of kids to school, right? Yeah, we have
kind of a pedophiles are over here now more or less, where 11
minute million adults in this country who have to get checks
done on them. They have to pay 70 pounds I think it is they
have to submit to the six month bureaucratic process.
scoutmasters anyone who works with kids, anyone who takes them
around in the bus They have to be checked
for. This was reported on no agenda. We talked about this. If
you recall, John, that this was the new rule that was set into
place. If you were going to be involved with more than two kids
not your own, then you have to go through this check to make
sure you're not a pedophile. So if you got to drive the kids to
the to the football match, you have to go through a check.
Indeed, that allowed near a child in case they were less
than
70 pounds is at about $4,000.
Yeah, really? He's totally totally taken. Everyone's taken
our punch. Yeah, exactly. It's about 100. All right.
foxhunting. They're they're taking away your right to fall.
Yes, I
can't believe you left that one and
I should have taken it out. Yeah. Okay. I used to go
forward.
I'll tell you one thing about fox hunting though, since they
banned that the fox hunting dude, there were foxes
everywhere on the street during the day these foxes are walking
around there vermin they're no good they're evil dirty and
disgusting and dangerous.
Yeah, they are dangerous that really there's foxes all over
the place yeah
yeah absolutely.
Why they instituted fox hunting as a as a hobby in the first
place it was probably culturally necessary of course no
oh the poor foxes we can't kill the
red for danger. Amber for kind of worrying green about the
supermarkets and and nice and healthy get to the bins Germany
they had similar health warnings, you know, like Coca
Cola was considered unsuitable for the Kinder in Germany. It's
the same over here now. And I think you should all be very,
very afraid of the cap and trade bill. The poor keyless bracket
was a rehearsal the Cairo surrender. Monkey speech was a
rehearsal. The Obamacare was rehearsal. The really bad thing
that is going to ruin your lives in America is cap and trade
over in Europe. It's done.
Yeah, the biggest the EU loves the idea of cap and trade
because it's a way of imposing super supranational controls
over sovereign nations, you know, you have unelected
officials declaring what how much carbon businesses allowed
to produce? So you know, you have no control over these
unelected officials. They increase your taxes, they
increase regulations, you know, we have, we now have sort of spy
spy devices in our dustbins and our trash cans, as you call
them. In order to monitor how much waste we dispose of this
all comes from the European Union.
Right? And that is absolutely true. They have little devices,
and they determine the weight. And they've actually they
started out first by giving people smaller, they call them
wheelie bins, smaller trash cans, so they reduced the size.
And you can't just put a trash bag out on the street, it has to
be in a bin. And you can't have more than I think two bins per
house,
but your shoes in the bin. Yeah.
Exactly. And it was in combination with this, which I
think aired was maybe Friday show I think or Thursday or
Friday show. And I don't see it every single day. But I did
catch this in combination with and I can I know what you're
going to read how you're going to respond, John, but I actually
took the time to watch it all two and a half hours of the new
Alex Jones documentary, the fall of the Republic. And I would
encourage anyone listening to no agenda to actually if you can
sit through it, because two and a half hours is too long for
anything. And that's the mistake that that Alex Jones made is
this thing is just too damn long. I forced Mickey to watch
it. And actually, I didn't have to force her at all. Because
after 10 minutes, she was like, ha ha. And essentially, it's
every single clip you've heard played from C span on this very
program. He has amassed into two and a half hours, interspersed
with some interviews of which the best I think is still Max
Keiser. And there's a couple other Gerald Cilenti, which is,
you know, the kind of kooky people just, you know, sprinkled
throughout this documentary, but what's cool about it, is you'll
literally see President Obama, then as candidate Obama saying,
you know, there will be no signature statement signing
statements on any bills that come through Congress, and then
boom, you got a report of his first signing statement, you
know, transparency, boom, no transparency, bills will be
online, boom, bills are not online, you know, all this
stuff. We're gonna do away with this, and they actually upped
the ante. So it's a very good because it's C span. And if you
don't know what C span is, you kind of don't even know what the
hell you're looking at. But the point of the Jones documentary
is, indeed, the global warming or climate change as it had to
be renamed because of course, it's actually cooling and not
warming. That is I have to agree is probably the worst thing that
is coming down the pike here and that is where we will be totally
enslaved for essentially breathing.
Yeah, well, I'm not gonna get any argument from me.
And it's upsetting when you think about it. Now, although
there are some good reports that you know, less and less people
believe that what was
this, by the way that I think it was pew or one of these guys
that came up with the fact that the numbers of people that are
buying into climate change has really decreased by a lot. Yeah,
that's why I think it's going so fast. And now that I think that
best to put somebody in a panic mode to to just ramrod some
stuff through before they can't get anyone to agree to it. So I
think we're gonna see real action.
Yeah. Well, it's kind of scary, though. Because when you when
you look at some of this video of Al Gore, and how he gets into
people's face, if you if you know, of course, you're you're
you're not just someone who doesn't believe that climate
change is really what's what they say it is, you are a
denier? You know, of course, equating you to a Holocaust
denier.
Yeah, well, that that denier thing kind of backfired. I think
it was a little scary. Here, number of Americans who believe
in climate change drops survey shows only 57% of Americans feel
the planet's atmosphere is warming. That is a fall from
77%, two years ago, and that's from the Pew study that you
referenced there, John. So it's still 57%. But you know,
there's, there's it's so hard when people are when people are
so hypnotized by the media. And by the way, at 16% of all news
coverage in the past week was about Balloon Boy. Seriously,
16% of all news coverage was about Balloon Boy, it does not
just tell you right there that something is incredibly wrong.
So you've got a lot of people out there who are trying to
spread some kind of alternative message. And we do a lot of work
on that. You know, here's John cutting down into I mean, first
of all the pain of having to sit through Glenn Beck show, John
and humbled, I'm humbled in your presence of not only doing that,
but then going to edit it. You know, this is a Sunday morning,
it's the church have no agenda. We're sitting here we're doing
this and we don't take ads. We don't want to be interrupted. We
don't want to have to deal with the frickin Obama Chia every 30
minutes, or what worse every five minutes in order to pay our
way to do this. So we need your donations. We had a executive
producer who gave us $77.77. And we had a, I guess, kind of a
slow week, but didn't we have a new night that we do
as a new night made effort, unfortunately, is a secret
night. He gave us $1,000 $1,001.32 Which by the
way, according to him, sadly enough is is is he calculated
that that moment, what is the Euro worth? And he gave us
$666.66 in euros and that's $1,000. And that's $1,000. Now
when it when I was a kid, that would be about $400. So
something's wrong there. But so he gave us 1000 He's, and he
does a camp. This is kind of I don't know what to make of this.
But he says we cannot mention his name. He gave us a pseudonym
to us. Well, yeah, but I'm keeping it even the pseudonym, I
think's too much of a giveaway. So we'll just we'll, we'll work
this out. But anyway, so I'm calling it the secret night from
Hungary. And he he says that right. He says that he has, he
says that his wife will kill him. If she ever found out that
he gave us this money. I will she may actually listen to the
show. I'm not sure. We do have another woman listener. So we're
up to 19 that gave us money Kara Lennon gave us $51.92 I'm gonna
get through some of these. Okay, see defense defensive tactics
Inc. Out of Oka Edmonds, Oklahoma give us $50. Again, our
executive producer Sterling Ellsworth out of Santa Barbara
gave us his six donation of $77.77 Magewell crip Kripal K R
I P P H L in say a Portugal gave us $65.43 Hola. And
Portuguese I know it works in Spain too. I hear
and parts of China. And Christopher Advent gave us from
Winnipeg as a matter of fact, or AD. He said he says just
pronounce it ad went as though we don't take ads. Get it? So ad
went
once we have vaccines with AD wins,
and he's in Winnipeg, like I said, but me Well, let me read
Carol Lennon's note for the $51.92 senses. How convoluted
are listeners? Hi guys. In celebration of my new job. I'm
donating 50 While this is good and we get a new job and give us
some money $51.92 $50 being the donation and U S. D O one AUD 92
being the ratio of Aussie cents to the US dollar at the moment.
This is abnormally high for the currency of Gitmo south. Could
you mention thanks to my little brother Tristan Lennon, who he's
the guy from Wagga Wagga, who you've mentioned a couple of
times for donations mainly because he's from Wagga Wagga
for putting me on to the show or turning me on to the shows where
he but putting me on it gets his the Australian way of saying
turning me on right. I don't think putting me in an
interesting for putting me onto the show and delaying the decay
of my postgraduate brain. Please ask Adam not to call me as a
Sheila as he did for a Shayla. Why is the other Aussies
confused now? Because I did a documentary in Australia. And
all the men were talking about shirtless and I'm like, Are they
say females? I like neither one sounds really weird.
No one here says that. And I died a little inside when I
originally
I was there and I heard it. I heard two things Sheila's and
females. And I thought females was even Sheila I can kind of
you know, it's kind of cute. You know, I can kind of get into
that. But when you call it you say women, they call them
females. And it makes them sound like apes, you know, females
that just females and bitches
here come to females
coming to females, you know, where my females at? You know,
it just doesn't sound right. So I'm sorry, maybe that was in
1996. And maybe it's changed since then. But when I was there
may have been a local thing to
possible,
you know, maybe some little area. Anyway, we
appreciate your donations. And yeah, and the educational aspect
to it, thank you, I'm a better person for it. Go to no agenda
show.com Click on one of the donation buttons. You can also
participate in our night layaway program, which is $50 a month.
And of course, you can also go to dvorak.org/n A and donate
from that page as well so that we can continue this program
expanded we're going to start with the stream pretty soon. I'm
just waiting for John to do some work and actually select a
stream manager problem there of course is there's so many
qualified people who have sent in their resumes that it's kind
of hard to choose. Yeah, I
we're gonna have actually, you have to have to we have to have
a backup guy. So at least we'll have two guys.
And I'd like to welcome all the CEOs of Sequoia Capital
companies who are listening to the program this week. As Jason
Calacanis who we talked about on the previous show about his
email to the internal mailing list about swine flu. He just
sent another he pounded the list again, John
is a spammer that guy. Yeah.
Here's the here's the message self described crackpot Adam
curry rips into my OCD over swine flu on no agenda minute 78
some fair points. He's a sports I gotta give him that.
Well, if he gets anybody listen to the show where he you know,
he can afford to go I mean, that guy's loaded day. You should he
shouldn't be donating. He should be. He should be a night just,
you know, it would get our goat. If he was a night,
what kind of regard do you have for the examiner? What which
one? It will examiner.com.
The examiner.com I believe is an actual online outlet of some
newspaper back East.
Yes. Do you hold that in any regard as in?
I don't find it to be, you know, probably a tool of propagandists
by any more than any other journalistic endeavor. Okay,
then you won't mind me RIA reading, paraphrasing a bit from
from an article when I when I read it. I was like, hmm, this
is kind of what I wanted to talk about on the show on Sunday. And
here it is in in more or less a national public. Well,
certainly, it's on the internet International. And this is kind
of a throwback to the bombing of the moon bases, which we got a
lot of response to it for. Yeah. An official announcement by the
Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial
life is imminent. Now reports.
There's that there's that one and wait. The other one to
follow up to this, by the way is the announcement of the
antigravity device.
You keep saying that but you when I start flying over your
house, you'll shut up all right.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll remain mum. For several
months senior administration officials have been quietly
deliberating behind closed doors, how much to disclose to
the world about extraterrestrial life. This satisfaction amongst
powerful institutions such as the US Navy Over the decades
long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the
reality of extraterrestrial life and technology. So and then the
article is, it's interesting because I think probably what
the guy did, and this was written by Michael selenia, Ph.
D, I might add. You know, there's a lot, you know, you
know, I travel in certain crackpot ish circles, and
there's, you know, all of the stuff is pretty much what I've
been reading as well. So here we go. Over the period February 12,
to 14th 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussion
where approximately 30 nations secretly agreed upon a new
openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009.
The openness policy was implemented but never publicly
announced due to threats against UN diplomats. And there's all
links here to two different sources that would explain where
this where these assertions come from. And of course, a lot of
references to Coast to Coast AM, which you may or may not listen
to, that you may or not, may may or may not believe in it.
However, this is what I've also been hearing, that the plan is
either the end of 2009 or early 2010. Official disclosure will
most likely emerge in either one of two scenarios. One is
President Obama will announce the existence of
extraterrestrial visitors and describe one or more of these to
the world. Or, or shut up and announcement will be made
concerning the discovery of artificial structures at the
moon's south pole as revealed by the L Cross mission. No, because
of course, you know, they actually they what happened was
the reason why we didn't see any debris is they tried to bomb
this moon base, but they bombed one of the bigger buildings and
that's when right into it and so there was really no big big dust
cloud or anything. And so, you know, Obama being you know, be
heading up the Security Council of the UN goes right along with
with this because of course, you know, we have to not be afraid
of, of the extraterrestrials and in the even in the spiritual
circles, there's talk of, of this happening very soon. And if
you if you look around at the reports, and they're always
laughed and scoffed that there is enhanced activity in UFO
sightings around the world that is undeniable. Whether there
were the sightings are real or not. There does seem to be a lot
more reporting in alternative news. And of course not Well,
unless you want to count Balloon Boy.
And of course, we can thank ABC and Disney for all this
promotion, because V is coming out shortly within a few weeks.
And we want to bring our awareness up.
And the movie 2012 is hitting theaters. So you know, it's
obvious we got to be prepared for it. But if it happens, John
would not be wicked. What happened? It would be wicked.
Wouldn't you just have to eat some crow?
Yeah, sure. I got a lot of crows around here. By the way, I
wouldn't mind shooting one and eating him. So I had a I had I
had to come into the house the other day. And I walk up the
back steps into a huge red tailed hawk takes off from the
deck. He was sitting there he ate a seagull. Oh, no. Yeah,
that's all. I mean, he ate the whole bird whole, like he
attacked it. He killed it and ate it cheese.
And you saw this? No,
I didn't. I only get to the the end of it. And the entire deck
is covered with Seagull fur and feathers. Oh,
I'm saying it's time again for John C. Dvorak famous pulled
pork. So, alright, let me let me give you a couple of real quick
ones. And then we should do another one of your clips in the
continuing amazement about what is actually going on in
Afghanistan, and you'll have to go to the to the show notes at
no agenda show.com. The Boston what Boston Globe against the
boston.com is that I think that's the globe globe. Yeah.
They have pictures of our servicemen and women in
Afghanistan. So for this beautiful high res pictures you
don't see a lot of that, actually from from Afghanistan.
So first, you see a see 17 Dropping military supplies, and
then these military supplies drop into a poppy field. And
then the next picture is, you know, so a whole bunch of pissed
off Afghan farmers saying Yo, dude, like you drop your shit on
my poppy field. And the caption here literally says the Marines
are promising to pay him for his damaged Poppy crop and
compensation for the accident. Wow. Yeah, it says it right
there. It says it right there. And they're actually in the
Marines are just kind of standing there. And, you know,
it's like, I don't understand, aren't we supposed to like be
eradicating the poppy field? Isn't that a huge problem? And
of course, you on you. And I know that that's actually not
true is that we're there to protect the poppy fields. But
when you see this picture is like, literally, Oh, dude, I'm
sorry, man. We didn't mean to, to mush your crop. And then
classic. Yeah. And then NPR hackers,
nobody picks up on this right? No, while the Boston
Well, no, the Boston Globe just reports it but it's not even
like, excuse me what's going on? And then here's a report from
NPR that it looks like in Kandahar and other provinces,
they're really upping the cannabis production.
Yeah, here, let me read you something from a report that
came out. This is one of these government reports. Our This is
a report on the report in the first half of 2009. According to
the report, military operations destroyed more than 90 tons of
chemicals used in the production of illicit drugs 450 tons of
opium poppy seeds, which by the way, I wanted to talk about 50
tons of Open seven tons of morphine, 1.5 tons of heroin and
19 tons of hasheesh. And 27 laboratories, which are shacks
made mainly so when did they when did that we didn't even
know about the hashish
and hashish is nothing more than the the oil that you pull off of
the cannabis plant.
Yeah, it's kind of just a concentrated
it's yeah, it's what do you call it? Yeah, goo.
It's hasheesh
there's not like a half sheet plant. You know, it comes from
the same the same Yeah,
it's it's dope. No way man, I wanted to do something
interesting with the destroyed more than this that they then
they destroyed more than 450 tons of opium poppy seeds. Now
why would they do that? opium poppies foreign 50 tons by the
way of seeds. And you don't know what a poppy seed weighs? Yeah,
I
mean, the foreign 50 tonnes that that you could fill up giant
stadium 20 times without before it weighs four and 50 tonnes,
you could but the thing is, it's a nutrient and it's used in you
know, if you have a poppy seed bagel, it's those are the poppy
seeds that are used. And this is actually food. So they've
essentially it's, it's full right? You're right. So they've
destroyed 40 or 50 tons of food in the starving area. This the
see these numbers don't make any sense.
Now what where's that report from?
Now, this came out of this actually from last week. So I
probably lost the beginning of it. This was a an article that
was in, I think run by Reuters. But it was about a government
report. It's just a report of a report.
Well, you're right, the numbers don't add up. And I think we
should just stick to our assertion that the military
surge is all about protecting the poppies for the harvest,
which is coming up. And by the way, the NATO has now decided
that it's a good idea to send more troops. So of course,
that's just backing up a crystals, lithium crystals plan
there to send to send in more troops for the harvest. And
someone else send us a map of where all these camps are. And
again, these camps are surrounding the poppy fields.
And they're just not destroying him. Look at the pictures in the
Boston Globe. Just look at the pictures. They're not destroying
them. And isn't it convenient that now the marijuana
production is being up in Afghanistan. And since we got
all these planes flying the OPM over anyway, might as well throw
a couple of bales of weed on there. Isn't it convenient that
now in California, all of a sudden the Feds nationwide, the
feds are relaxing the rules on medical marijuana isn't
convenient.
Well, they gotta do something there's got to be I think it's
just of course, eventually they they figured out that they can
tax the stuff.
Well, yeah, and I'm all for that. But why don't you just be
honest about it, legalize it and get our frickin troops out. We
can grow poppy here. It will be great,
grows everywhere the stuffs amazing. And it's one of the
prettiest plant you've ever seen. And it's food and his
feathers food it makes
it makes food. Sheila Bair is the chairman of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. And she has a message John, a
message of hope and a message of self assuredness, you do not
have to be worried. You do not need to run on your bank.
Everything is good. Enjoy your shopping experience, please.
Here is her message.
I'm Sheila Bair, Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation,
by the way, she's wearing a red jacket. So you know, she's
important in the administration. He's in the club. She's in the
club. Yeah.
As we pass the 100th bank failure of 2009.
I love it. Hey, as we know, only 100 banks of 2009 have failed.
So let's talk about that. The FDIC
has been receiving more public inquiries about deposit
insurance and how it works.
And of course, we know that they've already announced
they're going to be borrowing money back from the banks in
order to fulfill their obligations. But listen to how
she explains it. And you tell me if these numbers add up, John, I
want to take This opportunity to reassure consumers that their
insured deposits are absolutely safe. In fact, as long as the
postures are under the insurance limits, their money is fully
protected no matter what happens. This has been the case
through each and every failure this year, and will be the case
in the future. Throughout the FDIC 75 year history, no insured
depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits, and none
ever will.
You're about to see the smirk on her face when she says that, by
the way,
200 banks in this country, some banks continue to face serious
challenges, that the overwhelming majority will
weather this economic storm. There are many signs that our
economy is recovering. And as the economy heals, so will the
banking system until the healing process is complete, there will
be more bank failures.
You know, there's a lot of psychological shit in there when
she talks about the healing process. That's it, that's
disturbing language, the healing process we've heard and the
healing, the healing has to take place. However, the
number of failures we are experiencing is significantly
lower than those the FDIC has handled during past crises. For
instance, in 1989, during the height of the so called SNL
crisis, 534 institutions were closed, depositors should
understand that the chances of their bank failings actually
mixing the numbers there because I think it was 180 banks, but
not just the 100 banks that have failed does not count all of the
branches, all of the individual offices, if you count that it's
like 2000. And here she's saying with the savings and loan, it
was 500. But that was including all the branches. So she's she's
mixing up the numbers
are low. And even if their bank does fail, depositors have
nothing to worry about. The FDIC fully guarantees their insured
deposits and provides them with seamless access to their money.
Okay, for the insured depositor, a bank failure is a non event.
People sometimes ask about our financial resources. Hey,
how about your financial resources, Miss Blair, and where
we get the money,
we need to protect depositors. Our resources come from
insurance premiums, which are paid by the banking industry.
Now that makes sense, right? That's the way it's supposed to
work. Right, John? The banks pay insurance premiums, and that
money is stored up and that's supposed to be kept. And that's,
that's used in case there's a problem, right? That's the way
it works. Okay. Well, let's see how it actually works.
We also have substantial authority to borrow from the US
Treasury Department,
which means it's not from like the taxpayers. Yeah. Okay.
Good, the need arise. We are the government and we are
the government, you have nothing to worry about. Please enjoy
your banking experience. You will,
Gerrans guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States government.
Yeah, that's rich. It's backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States government. In
short, we could not run out of money, bank failures to cost
money. And those costs have recently been high. What is the
point?
Well, I want you to listen to how she's bullshitting about
where the money's gonna come from.
But though we already knew that I, what I'm concerned about is,
is this is this big nurse style that she exhibits. Well, of
course,
it continues
defended reserves have declined, our resources run deep. At the
end of the second quarter are why does
she have to go on and on? Why does she does over what is what
is the point of all, if she'd like giving coded messages to
somebody this has gone on by at least 15 seconds too long
already.
You don't want to hear the rest?
Was it any good at the end? Because I'm already getting
annoyed by the length of it? Well, I
liked the fact that you're getting annoyed. Let me continue
to do it over $42 billion. We review the adequacy of those
reserves every quarter, and make adjustments as warranted. Based
on our cost projections, we have asked the banking industry
prepay three years worth of insurance premiums, which will
bring in another $45 billion by the end of the year.
So all right. I'll stop it here.
But it goes on. Oh, yeah.
It goes on for another minute. Who is she supposed to be
talking to the people who are concerned? She's just confusing
with a whole book with a whole bunch of bullshit numbers like
42,000,000,040 5 billion, I don't think $100 billion because
it covers all the deposits up to $250,000 in the in all banks of
the United States of America. I don't think that covers it.
Yeah, well, I should just covers all the ones are going broke,
maybe. But whatever the case is, it sounds like a bunch of horse
crap anyway. And then she will she
winds it up and I'll spare you she winds it up by saying we
have a line of credit with the Treasury for half a trillion
dollars. No, she doesn't. That would mean we'd have to raise
another half a trillion dollars in taxes. And just at the end
just have to say just let me play the end for you. I mean,
it's just so the wrap up is beautiful
coverage. To learn more by going to the FDIC electronic deposit
insurance estimator or EDI, it can be found at my fdic
insurance.gov If
my fdic insurance.gov, you have a personal portal for your world
of the FDIC,
let me say again, no insured depositor has ever lost a penny
of insured deposits, and none ever will. The FDIC was created
specifically for times like these, our resources are strong,
and your insured deposits are absolutely safe. Thank you.
Please enjoy your banking experience. Everything is okay.
You know, there's a bunch of new propagandistic techniques that
are appearing this soft spoken a big nurse thing is one of them,
but the one that I'm starting to see more and more of and you
have the clip there is epitomized by this Advair
commercial and I want you to run the commercial and then I'll
tell you what the what you'll figure it out when you have
asthma for 12 years. Six years are bad asthma forever. I never
knew why my asthma symptoms kept coming back and coming back or
that I could help prevent them in the first place. The problem
was that my controller medicine was treating only one main cause
of asthma symptoms, but there are two airway constriction and
inflammation, unlike most controllers had their treats
both main causes. Advair treats both main causes and that helps
prevent symptoms. In the first place. Add their contains
millimeter off Salmeterol may increase the chance of asthma
related death. So adver is not for asthma that's well controls
on another controller medicine. Advil will not replace fast
acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be taken
more than twice a day. Talk to your doctor about the risks and
benefits of Advair. If you take Advair, see your doctor if your
asthma does not improve or gets worse. If you're still having
symptoms.
Ask your doctor how to help prevent them with Advair,
get your first prescription free and save on refills.
Advair now you know. Okay,
so there's this technique they're starting to use. I find
it kind of interesting where you don't have a spokesperson
anymore. You have a myriad of people from various walks of
life, each one of them throwing in their two cents worth. So
there's an appeal to a broader proportion of the viewer. In
this case, you've got a black guy, Chinese guy, a Mexican
woman, a hottie black woman, easygoing practical black woman
a cool dude, a white chick a black you know, it's just that's
and it just goes and they each have bing bing bing, bing bing
and so on. And so it sounds like it gives you the impression that
for one thing everybody's united in this one single thought it's
the
United Colors of Benetton Exactly,
exactly what it is.
Yeah, but there's there's two things that bothered me about
these commercials. And you know, we're we have a media we have
wasn't Nutrisystem now as as a sponsor on programs, except for
this one. And the amount of legal legalese and legal things
we have to adhere to set out by some cover. Covenant with the
FDA is unbelievable. And the one thing you definitely can't do is
you can't have someone say, hey, you know, this really changed my
life, unless that person has absolutely gone to the program,
and it changed their life. And the people in these commercials
that to me, they're just actors. And I don't know where the
disclaimer is, but they seem to be getting away with a lot of
shit that smaller companies can't do. Does that make any
sense?
Yeah, there was a, there's a lot of research, there was a whole
special on this, on how these ads for drugs became so popular
because somebody tried it once. And they discovered that they
initially you couldn't mention the drug without the disclaimer.
So they just started being vague about a drug without mentioning
it. And its sales went from something like 400,000 a year to
80 million or something. And just on vague assertions, and so
everybody's gotten into the actual they have studied this to
death, and they've gone over the line. I'm totally convinced that
yeah, there's probably a bunch of requirements that these guys
have gotten around. For one thing, if you look at this
technique, you're having all these different people speak.
They're just, they're just short vague generalities about
nothing. And then they have the one spokesperson come on with
all the disclaimers and then they jump back into a series of
just calm you know, just kind of jump cuts of visual and vocal
jump cuts that don't really connect anything. There's no
tail no real story being told in any traditional sense. I don't
know.
Here's here's the thing, John, we're not learning from this.
This is this is the thing that's That's dumb. We're not learning
from these tricks. And we're not applying them to our own
programming. We need to have a United Colors of Benetton
commercial for no agenda and it needs to go viral. And we need
to have it running right after the chia pet commercial. I mean,
how about the Adam curry John C. Dvorak Chia pets I mean, we're
really Really not playing this well and we need a Montra just
like yes we can yes we can. These are the the people of the
world are your thing
in the morning does it? Yeah.
I will obey. No, you know, it's like whenever some when when
people are watching television they get these messages uploaded
to them like work like we're computers and we're completely
open to all of this message this messaging and we should be able
to do something with that we should be able to use the same
brains that are swallowing up all this bull crap and program
them differently don't you think?
Well yeah, they would be nice we don't we're not that good.
No, it's clear that reason doesn't work. We've got to come
up with some other way to do it. That we're failing. We are
totally failing Well, in case you didn't know the only thing
we do know how to do is apply our formula our formula is this
we go out we hit people in the mouth and it doesn't seem to be
working very well.
We're not hitting hard enough.
We gotta hit a lot harder. Alright, let's wrap this up my
friend
let me play one more I got one more clip that would be kind of
wrapping things up because I've been thought you know I tried to
keep up with I have them all backed
up the czar the czar No, no, we'll save
that one okay. This is shorter the show admin which is a very
interesting show to say the least if you can follow it I
don't recommend people getting into it late you just won't get
it what shows this admin admin much i madmen Oh, madmen? Yeah.
No, yeah. I've been watching madmen. So I think the one thing
that that makes the show interesting is this is this is
ice queen. This beautiful ice queen wife. For the main
character.
Yeah, that's Draper's wife. Yeah, bets. Yeah.
And hit Draper's wife. And, and I think the whole show is
summarized by this quote from her that I, I pulled off the
show from about two weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, which is
to me it was her in a nutshell, it actually kind of summarizes
the show. Here we go.
What's wrong? hate this place? beat our friends. hate this
town.
That's the whole show.
That's the whole show. I hate this place. I hate our friends.
I hate this town.
I've seen here and some other stuff. And she's, you know,
she's kind of Yeah, ice Queenie in madmen. She's smoking hot
when she when she unties her hair. And she's kind of looks
hip. Yeah. Yeah,
she's pretty good actress. But she plays this character that is
just like, Wow, can you imagine being married to somebody like
this? Yeah. No
wonder you Draper screwing around. Unbelievable. But
anyway, that's so you don't you don't want to you don't want to
do Ron Bloom? I think it was funny. Just because his name is
Ron Bloom. Okay.
Well, Ron Bloom, but this was a clip that I this is an out of
context clip. I don't know where it came from. And I don't know
what he's talking about.
Whatever it is, everyone's using it. I mean, at Fox
playing this clip, because it shows the guy just a you know, a
hater of capitalism. And he's our manufacturing czar.
What Wasn't he in charge of GM? For a moment there? I thought
that they put him in charge of GM. And then they and then they
took them off? And they turned them into the manufacturing czar
yet could be I don't I don't, they didn't, I should have done
more research on the character. But it's just as you makes you
shake your head when you listen to him. Nope, sorry.
Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free
market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is the game the
system to beat the market, or at least find someone who'll pay a
lot of money because they're convinced that there is a free
lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults
only no limit game. We kind of agree with now that political
power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it
that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.
No, I don't get paying you a lot of money. So then get a free
lunch, that free is not giving a lot of money out. So I mean,
that's a non sequitur, right in the middle of the whole thing.
And the whole thing is like, what is he talking about?
I have a feeling because I've seen this youtube clip and and
you never see what comes before it. But even when he says you
could interpret the I get the joke in a couple of different
ways. And what you know that that those words preceding what
he says about the free market, you could actually say, you
know, it could be a totally cynical thing. He's saying it's
a little too out of context for me to actually be able
to Yeah, I feel the same way. It was a little difficult. And
people out there should feel the same way too by getting a hold
of us at the no agenda show.com and divorce.org/na. Just to
remind you to run for donations we do we did come up a little
short number of donations just last, this last iteration.
I would like you know, within a couple of days, and we have
enough listeners to actually be able to make this really, really
work. You know, if, if all of our listeners gave us $5 A year
we'd be we'd be set, you know, I could quit the day job, you
could actually eat pulled pork twice a week. And we'd be good
to go. So you and John have really got to come up with, with
some better vision of how we move the show forward, because
I'd really like to make some big changes in 2010. Now, the new
year, I'd really like to, I'd like to, you know, get the
stream have the stream up and running have multiple shows, I'd
like to expand, you're already doing a cool show with Andrew
Horowitz, which really focuses on the markets. I think we could
build out a little little mini industry, that we could at least
do it full time. And I'd really like to work on that. I just
don't understand how we can motivate our growing audience.
To really everyone just comes and goes like, people say, I
don't have a job. You know, I don't care somebody five bucks.
You got five bucks.
Yeah, well, which is basically parking fee in San Francisco for
like 20 minutes.
I mean, seriously, take a look at what you're spending this
week. Just look at anything. You know, it's one, it's one trip to
Starbucks, one trip to Starbucks. And we're not trying
to get rich here. And we're not rich by any by any In fact, if
anything, we're middle class, upper middle class, and we're
being targeted just like everybody else. Yeah, for bogus
taxes. Yeah, taxes on everything.
Probably have eventually tried to put a streaming tax.
Oh, well, you know, and by the way, we kind of got to hurry up
doing this. Because if you've been following the FCC, and
their net neutrality sham that they're pulling off, brother.
Have you been following that? This guy who is this, it's like
Harry Potter is running the FCC, this, this little Roni? And he's
like, and he's just like, laughing. And it he. And by the
way, I don't think Google is our friend in this. I'm not so sure
that they're the good guys and all of this. But whenever I hear
that, you know, the few big ISPs that are around that they will
be able to manage their network traffic. He was like, okay, so
net neutrality. Yeah, it's for real. And by the way, where is
the whole debate on net neutrality? The minute people
online can't change their icon to a different color to support
net neutrality, then no one participates. You're all too
busy. Frickin twittering about Balloon Boy, you bozos. And now
what's really taking place right in front of your eyes. And
there's this really nefarious, vague, you know, my
website, Dvorak uncensored@vort.org, you're
blocked by all kinds of is blocked in parts of Russia, I'm
blocked by most corporations in this country, I've been unblock
because every once in a while, somebody said, Well, yeah,
you're blocked in my company. So who's doing it? And it's always
some little middleman that they've hired and they just
blocked stuff for no apparent reason. Yeah, Vodafone does
this in the UK, they block all kinds of stuff. And the only way
you can can get it unblocked is by registering, you know,
curry.com has blocked everywhere. I went from a Google
rank Page Six to a four thanks to all the blockages, you know,
and that's, that's not net neutrality. And then I can
that's, that's not being addressed or discussed anywhere.
No, that's not I bring it up. And it goes, yeah. And then
there's somebody explains well as because of the such and such,
then they stopped talking about it. I mean, the the only guy
ever brings it up as Leo. And He only talks about just to give me
the needle.
And then the one other thing I want to just mention is Hulu has
now announced that they're going to charge fees of course,
Murdoch is has been the big man on campus talking about closing
down the new sites, we're not giving it away anymore. And what
I find interesting is many people are saying oh, this is
the end of democracy. This is the end of free news. Everything
will be controlled. I'm like, This is great. The less stupid
Balloon Boy shit people be copying pasting the better. So
maybe the signal to noise ratio will finally straighten out a
little bit. I'm really happy please, every publication and
I'm looking at you Wall Street Journal. Please everyone close
your doors, make it a for pay service and go away. Leave give
us more room give us more bandwidth, slash attention value
to actually bring some interesting information. I don't
need to to access the Daily Post.
Balloon Boy,
Balloon Boy. So on Thursday, we'll find out what they've made
up this week to distract us from The Real News once again. And
that Countdown
to the meeting of the extraterrestrials is on our
president soon to announce maybe that's what district nine is all
about. Maybe it's prawns
brought some prawns. I'd like
the the head off of Brian. All right, no agenda show.com for
the show notes and an opportunity to donate to this
program. And you can also do that at devora.org/na. And
coming to you from the minimum security containment cell
housing the crackpot command center and get my nation West.
I'm Adam curry,
and from what looks like a sunny day in northern Silicon Valley.
I'm John C. Dvorak. We
will be back here on Thursday. Same streaming channel more or
less the same time on no agenda.
