Ah, well, it's not that important.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's November 19 2009. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 149. This is no agenda, the proud
recipient of a dubious Dutch award coming to you from the
minimum security containment sell crackpot command center and
get more nation West San Francisco, California. I'm Adam
curry.
And from a still sunny northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Hill.
In the morning, John, hey, in the morning to you
seems like the morning to me sounds blasting through the
window blinding me
when we're on actually we're not some when we tried to go early,
and now we're on time.
We're actually 1515 minutes early. No
more like half an hour earlier than normal. normally get right,
because we're always 15 minutes late. Yeah. That's funny. So I
finally get you on skype be like, Hey, man, I gotta I gotta
get back. I gotta, I gotta talk to a guy. Do you know what that
sounded like? Like, you're just setting up a hit. I gotta call
you back. I gotta talk to a guy. Yeah, well, is that guy that I
that? I gotta talk to you?
So the hot news this week? Of course, you probably haven't
been following it.
Now. Wait a minute. I have hot news before you even get
anywhere. I have the hottest news of all hot news to share
with you. All right, what I'm putting it on Skype right now. I
want you to see this link. Ladies and gentlemen, you were
listening to officially according to Esquire magazine,
the worst dressed man in Holland. You Yes. And I want you
to take a look at this website. I'm looking at it because right
below me is the best dressed guy. That guy.
Well, you got to put this in the show notes because this guy this
guy looks like is that his hair?
That's his hair would look like what he's wearing?
Yeah, she's wearing like a he's How do you the worst dressed? I
mean, well,
listen, this is how it works. Esquire magazine is of course,
an irrelevant piece of shit that no one reads magazines in
general are in trouble. And so they're like, how do we get some
publicity? Oh, I know. Let's do something outrageous, like
nominate Adam curry for Worst Dressed Man, and then let him
win it.
So the thing is, that's interesting. Is it a picture of
you, you actually look pretty good? Do
I look better than normal? Don't
you look better than normal? You actually look quite good. And
you look like you're you're exchanging dirty ribald tails or
something with this woman. And meanwhile, this other guy looks
like a slouch. Who is he?
He's the lead singer of some no lead guitarist of some Dutch
rock band. But the point is you were you were talking about this
just the on the the other day on the show where you said, you
know, this is how these lists are put together. You have lunch
for an hour, and you talk some crap about you know, I will make
him No, I'll trade you him for him. And it's just it's fun to
watch how a magazine will actually take a public story and
use that to publicize their own magazine. And by the way, no one
in the Netherlands is actually saying this. No one has caught
on that maybe they did this just to get publicity for their
magazine. Next up, I think that this newspaper all coming off,
but I think the two pictures they placed underneath each
other is kind of their way of saying wink wink, we get the
joke. We understand.
Oh, I see. Yeah, you're right. But of course, the website I'm
looking at is not the Esquire site it's just
right. So but of course, if they were if they would actually give
me the award like a plaque I mean, that would be nice. You
know, something to put on that would be cool. Give me anything?
No, they won't give me anything. If they did, I would thank them
very much. And of course, I would have to say that the worst
dress title comes from the first half of the year when I was
still with my ex wife so
yeah, just keep the publicity thing.
Rolling, baby. Keep it going.
So you're telling me I think our studio audience should know that
what's the latest in Holland about you
know that's that's not important?
I think it is No, I don't think it's now they're gonna wonder
well I ever should go
learn Dutch and go read all I all I want. All I want is I want
an official award. I want a plaque. You see the guy who won
he got a Best Dressed Award. It would be great to have a Worst
Dressed Award plaque. Don't you think? I think that's bullshit.
You use my name to publicize your crappy ass magazine. which
no one apparently cares about. Why don't you give us at least
you could do is give me the official plaque. Flowers maybe
yeah, exact wear shirt. They you know, I
think if you hound them, they may just go buy one of these
plaques and give it to you. I think you just get him at ease.
I mean, you can go give yourself. Just go and I know
there's a lot other CEOs that do this and a lot of other phony
Bologna's, you go into their office, I'm always suspicious
when they go in somebody's office that's just like an
office, and they have their diploma on the wall. You know,
what's the point? I mean, anyway, you can get these things
made anywhere. And so they get their diploma and they have a
bunch of pictures of them shaking hands with various
famous people.
Photoshop, I got one of those. I have one with me and Putin that
someone made for me and it looks real. I had it on my wall for
the longest time. And so many people said, Wow, is that you
and Putin? Yeah, you know, it was down at the ranch with
George W.
Yeah, you could surround yourself with this. But the
other thing you can do if you want to really get go to go to
the next level beyond Photoshop, is you go to one of these trophy
shoots stores, you go in there all over the place. And they got
all kinds of cool trophies they're actually kind of
interesting to go into anyway, because you can look at these
crazy trophies and then you can just by yourself, you know, take
one of the trophies I'd like to get a sample you try
to get where else do you think people buy the trophies?
Yeah, they buy them at these places and say, Okay, here's
what I need put on here and then you put some bogus award with
your name. And then then you give them the 50 bucks or 20
bucks or whatever.
You can get a really nice one for maybe 100 Oh, yeah, you get
knockout
but you know you want one of those ones that looks like glad
you know the glass ones that are kind of
Lucite
well or lose weight size crack but anyway, you get any one of
these things and then you put you get a bunch of them actually
get five or six of them Man of the Year Sportsman of the Year
golfer of the year, you know, or the Humanitarian Award now so
now
that I think about it, you know, maybe uncle Don did that I was
looking at his study all that stuff, man, I'm thinking maybe
he went to the shop and bought those.
It's easy to do, you can load up you can make you can be very
impressive. What you get is one of the big offices, and you get
a fake Iranian rug.
No, no, the best. The best is when you see one of these guys
who's actually got a small office and has all of this stuff
all over the place, then, you know, it's really bogus. Like,
uh huh, sure, dude, you've got all
the facts. Most people who actually do win a lot of awards.
Don't you know? That they all give them to their mom, if you
go to their mom's house, and you can see
all the awards? That's absolutely true.
So although I have to say we'll people will put an Emmy up there
if they have one. I would. Those are hard. Those I don't think
you can go get a copy of No, no, it's okay. You betcha. I'll bet
you if you if you shopped around enough, you'd find an Emmy or an
Oscar in some pawn shop. So
you just have to put a different name on it. But sure. I bet.
Yeah. That's some technical award or something that should
be passable. Yeah. You know, you said you gave me this DVD to
watch of the Rachel Maddow Show. Do we need to talk about that?
No, not necessarily. I just thought it was interesting.
Because of the thing going on right now that needs to be
discussed, even though I know you're gonna cringe.
No, because I use it. I had to find the elephant in the room.
Yeah.
Did you find it? Well, I
saw three elephants. Okay. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, that's there's obviously 311. Go ahead.
Go ahead. What's the thing that needs to be discussed?
Well, Sarah Palin is on the rampage. She's on her books.
Book promotional tour. That's
what she's on. Oh, that's
what I meant. Yes. And so now it's like she's the all the talk
of the town. Although I think this one's gonna this is just
time it's got to fade for good. May I
say, by the way that on behalf of the no agenda audience, I
shall read her book. It was actually sold out. I wanted to
get a copy even even looked on Amazon. And of course not. It's
not available on the on Amazon. I
think Walmart has it. Yeah. So I'll
pick up a copy. It's funny, my my whole family up in Armonk,
you know, of course, we're all talking politics, because let's
face it, that's what we do. As like, oh, I have you know, Sarah
Palin, this book comes up. And everyone's like, Go falling.
Like, I don't think I'll put that on my list. I'm not gonna
read that. I'm like, wow, you know, for someone who came so
close to actually perhaps being Vice President, the first female
vice president, you know, why would you not be interested in
reading what's in the book? And these are intelligent people,
you know, it's just part of that whole meme of Oh, no, is
ridiculous. And even if she is ridiculous, it's still
interesting to read the book. Is it gonna kill you? No, I'm sure
it's big, big type, you know, double space. It's not going to
be hard to get through. So it's like, jeez, you know, and then
form your own opinion of the book instead of listening to a
bunch of talking heads like Rachel Maddow, or Sean Hannity
who had her on last night.
Yeah, I missed that. I saw enough of her. I mean, I saw her
do the Oprah show. I saw her on
that. I missed that. Yeah, I
know you did. And you purposely did because I asked if you
wanted to do DVD if any of this stuff is new to
you didn't know I said I wanted you to surprise me. So I could
come in with a fresh a fresh view.
Okay, well, you're gonna have one then because you didn't see
any of it. Now, here's what I mean, the only one the only
interview or I also heard part of the Rush Limbaugh interview
which was just the worst. He's not really an interviewer. But
and I'm sure Hannity's was a softball.
Here's, yeah, you're right, forget about it. Yes, soft,
Major League softball hand job, it doesn't really matter. I
mean, they're all colluding with each other, you know, enemies.
Like, we've got this Holocaust denier, Ahmadinejad who wants to
wipe Israel off the face of the map, that's when I click the TV
off. You know, it's like, okay, there's two things that are, if
not out of context, certainly not direct translations from the
Farsi language that Sean Hannity doesn't speak. You know, it's
like I'm done already. And then Sarah Palin to actually answer
that.
Screw so anyway, but I have to say the one hour long Oprah
Winfrey interview was quite good. And Oprah is,
can a great Interviewer Yeah, she's very, very personable, of
course,
and she doesn't. She brings out a lot of stuff without going
after the person. She has she I think she has a she has a lot of
interesting techniques. And but anyway, she drew Sarah out and,
you know, almost brought her to tears in some funny way, which
is another trick she has. But then the next day, Barbara
Walters, who obviously hates the woman interviewed her and then
of course, ABC, which I already slammed Palin once before in an
interview by you know, by creative editing. It was it was
just you could just tell that Walters was hated her. And it
was just as one of these you know, I hate you. And here's an
interview and she tried to do I hate you know, answering my
questions, dammit.
So I do have a clip you should play which shows is played I had
to go back and look at the interview. Because I for some
reason I missed this. I have the audacity. This the one that says
Palin, I think Brian Collins is with us. Good to see you.
It's a pleasure. And I'm looking at that clip and it annoys me.
ABC cut as close as they could to her face. That's a trick that
60 minutes discovered, the closer that they get to you, the
more likely they people are to just trust you, the closer the
shot, and they know that and so they cut in on her to actually
make her look less effective, less articulate. And it's really
not fair in an interview. Why would
so, so I went back. Oh, yeah. And they did and it was funny
because of course, you have the you know, this small pin headed.
Barbara Walters on one side. And there. She's cut normal. She's
you know, and she has she
has like a 5000. Darrin yay, pantyhose in front of the lens
for her and Vaseline.
And then they cut to Palin. And it's like, you can't see the top
of her head or the bottom of her.
It's just her eyes and her mouth. Right?
Just zoomed in on. They'll cut it back once in a while. But
most parts time
once again. And I'll let me just put it in the show notes here. I
will link to the Zen TV experiment. I think we've talked
about this previously on the show, John. This is a great
little test you can do at home, you can do it tonight. It's a
series of things you're supposed to do with your television. And
it teaches you the trickery that is television. It's quite good.
And I'll just leave it at that I've harped on this for at least
five or six years.
Right. So anyway, so then Palin goes off and does whatever she
does. And of course the thing that Walter saying was just
crappy, but it was at seven in the morning on the Good Morning
America show and who watches that. And that but anyway, the
one thing that was interesting was his Rachel Maddow situation.
So let me let me just paraphrase what I saw. Sure. Okay, so it's
Rachel Maddow reviewing the book, essentially. And she, I
guess they got a hold of Sarah Wallace who Nicole Nicole
Wallace, who is apparently slammed in the book for
essentially colluding with the with the press, which I thought
that was kind of interesting, you know, you get a kind of
behind the scenes feel of how these campaigns are run where
everybody's buddies and you know, at the Kate So what Sarah
Palin is saying is that Katie Couric, you know, no one trusted
her at the time she needed to kind of like an upfront, you
know, a personal interview walking along, but then it was
supposed to be in front of the UN to give kind of a political
worldly feel to it. So it's like it was all completely
orchestrated, according to Sarah Palin, and then Nicole Wallace
refutes that. And then they bring on this other lesbian from
Air America and I was just like, double barreled lesbian trouble
on my TV set. I was like, I just wanted to like fold the two of
them together. like they're a cute little couple. It's like
salt and pepper. It was bizarre to say to say the least,
it was very bizarre. And by the way, this is available. There's
nothing against lesbians. I'm just great. It's just that when
they're lesbians are
great. Hey, John, let's just point out lesbians are great,
particularly when
we can watch against the men. It's a problem,
colluding against hot looking straight women. That's also kind
of cool. And
this is the point is because they kept bringing up this point
that apparently, Palin didn't according to Nicole Wallace, who
here here's the here's the backstory for people out there.
And they just want to kind of deconstruct this a little bit.
McCain told all his staffers that when this book comes out,
they're not supposed to talk to the media, right? Especially not
to go on TV. SO MAD owl brought this up, and she says Nicole
Wallace Wallace contacted us and Nicole Wallace was a target in
the book, kind of and she was one of the McCain's top guy,
people, men guy girls, and she contacted them. And they did an
interview of her but they they wouldn't they didn't air it
because of this agreement not to do any TV. So they just took
quotes from the interview. And first thing I'm thinking is Why
is Nicole Wallace going to Rachel Maddow? I mean, this is a
little offbeat because she does. It's a it's a Democrat group. I
mean, it's a liberals. It's not conservatives. I mean, she why
she going in there. So then they bring up this with this other
woman, this pixie ish looking redhead that came on when you
called the other lesbian Girl, please. Oh, please, John. Okay.
She's extremely athletic and extreme lesbian. Okay. Okay. So
I looked at I just did a little background on this. She had done
a puff piece. This woman, it was a writer, she had done a puff
piece on Nicole Wallace in there. A long puff piece. It
was wonderful she is and she's so awesome.
It was a blow job in the strictest sense of the word and
journalistic sense of the word not in the real sense. And so
I'm thinking that oh, that's interesting. And then meanwhile,
I'm doing some more digging, trying to look at Nicole Wallace
and check her out, because she's obviously friends with these two
women. For whatever reason, I don't notice that she's a
lesbian, at least he's not overtly one that's for sure
she wants she's kind of like a Marissa Meyer lesbian. She's
very
cute. And chic. But then I was digging around in there she is
being interviewed by Katie Couric and a Fennec nother puff
piece, another blow job
with this. But this is the way it works. If you want to get to
a presidential candidate, the first thing you've got to do is
make nice with all the people who control the candidate. And
by the way, it's control. And you know, the best way to do
that is to stroke their ego by doing a nice puff piece. That's,
that isn't that's the smartest way to get someone done deal.
So there's like, so the whole thing is a little messy. And so
when so the giveaway, though, which indicates to me that there
is something amiss was Nicole Wallace is LaMantia, which was
repeated as a quote and then repeated again, when Matt, I was
talking to her friend, which is that as soon as Sarah met
Nicole, she hated her. And I thought that was well here we
have a very religious woman or, you know, basically a very
conservative Midwestern style personality in the middle of
nowhere, Alaska, not cosmopolitan in any way. And she
runs into a cosmopolitan little flash, it's a clash immediately.
And of course, nobody did anything about fixing that
problem. And so the whole thing went down the tubes, I believe,
I would believe the Sarah Palin side of the story, more than the
I didn't do anything. This is bogus. Yeah.
So I'm gonna read this book. And I'm sure I'll have it done by by
Sunday. I'll see if I can get it. You said Walgreens has it?
Walmart, a WalMart. We don't have a Walmart in San Francisco.
Oh, probably the only city in the world. We do we have a
Walmart here that the book will be it's just gonna be
everywhere. I mean, it's sold out. But it's just you know, I'm
sure that they they're backing up the trucks to the presses.
I did. I did read a different book on my in my travels last
week to Chicago and New York. I recommend the fed by Ron Paul.
Well, yeah, and I recommend this book. It's, it's a very, very
quick read. And it's very small, it's smaller than a Kindle. You
can hide it wherever you want. You can almost put it in your
back pocket. It's fun. By the way to go through TSA airport
security with this book. I literally had an out of the bag
and put it right on top of my stuffs to see if I could entice
anyone. See,
I have I have on the blog varric.org/blog For anyone who
doesn't know that. I have a link to the story about how the Ron
Paul aide who was taken aside from Yeah, well, I have the link
to the to the conversation, which I think we've linked to
before we've
played it on the show actually played The audio that he taped
and it was great. Well, what's interesting about it, so let me
just finish first and the Fed. It's a great Christmas gift.
I'll I'll put an Amazon link in the in the show notes. And I
really like it because I was telling my uncle Don, you know,
he was like, Well, you've because I'm going off, I'm going
like, wow, you know, it's the bankers and it's the Federal
Reserve. And so he says it very smart guy says, okay, you've
identified identified the villains who are the heroes. And
I say, one of them would be Ron Paul, and he starts falling off
all that lunatic Ron, Texas. I said, Oh, Uncle Ron, that's,
that's really cool. The way this is exactly the way you're
supposed to respond. Very, very good. You've been mind
controlled. And then we get to this conversation. And I wish I
had read the book before I had this conversation with him
because he's like, Well, you know, the Federal Reserve, blah,
blah. You know, Paul Volcker is a really good friend of mine. I
like him very much. And in the book, Ron Paul actually says
that he is a good friend of Paul Volcker as well who of course,
was wasn't he fed? Chairman for a while in the 70s. Before? The
Greenspan before Greenspan. Right. Right? So So I so I'm
gonna send this to Uncle Don, because he asked to read that
and particularly now that you know, that we know there's a
connection between Dr. Ron and Uncle Don, the with Paul
Volcker, but it's very simple to understand one degree separate
one degree of separation, ladies and gentlemen, and I highly
recommend it. So anyway, the the TSA story. What's interesting
about this, this, of course, is the campaign for Liberty
volunteer who had $4,700 in a strong box that he put through
the X ray machine, on his way back from an event. And he
immediately was pulled aside and they're like, you know, you've
got to be dealing drugs and his campaign. Are you leaving? Don't
give me because I love you. Did you? Okay, sorry.
We're doing a show.
All right, man. She's busy. And so then the guy gets sick, you
know, interrogated and you know, and thug, real thuggery. So
anyway, so the civil liberties was ACLU sued the TSA, and now
they've, they've, I guess, in a way, they've kind of settled
where the TSA says, Okay, we've changed our internal guidelines,
which by the way, we're not going to give you a copy of our
guidelines, you'll have to put in a freedom of information
requests. They are total jackasses. And what someone
points out well, in the article that I'll put in the show notes,
is that of course, they don't actually want you to know this
to know that the only thing they're allowed to do is be on
the lookout for anything that could put air airline or air
aviation security in danger. They want you to think that
they're there that there's some kind of Uber cops because that
makes you more nervous and makes you more subservient.
I think it's because they all want to be cops and they don't
have the qualification. Well,
they got the badges. Yeah, they finally got them some badges
edge. Remember the guy was crying when? When they handed
out badges?
Yeah. You don't remember? Yeah, Paul Blart I think was his name.
So anyway, yeah. Somebody will get that.
I had a thought, by the way, while we're talking about books.
You know, Lou Dobbs. He quit recently, right?
They fired him. Yeah. Yeah, he says he quit. But everybody
there was a lot of there's a lot of controversy. They think he
got run out of town by a bunch of by the Southern Poverty Law
Center.
So he says he was leaving to seek new ways to advocate his
opinions. And all of a sudden it hit me. Of course, this is the
first one to disappear. Next is going to be all captains of
industry, who will who will suddenly quit leave their
factories, leave their business, how they will all and they will
all be off somewhere. Go to Colorado once again. I've got a
plug for Atlas Shrugged in there. Lou Dobbs is the first to
go Gault. That's my story. And I've
been in and out of the company every time you need to he'll
quit CNN. And then they'll they'll put somebody else in the
last time they put in some woman who was sleeping with one of the
producers named No, I can't remember her name. But anyway,
she was David Letterman. She said she sunk the show.
Basically, I haven't seen her since and which was years ago.
So they begged him to come back and gave him more money. And I
think it's going to be another round to that because that shows
basically Lou Dobbs is spot. I mean, it's you know, it's what
he does. I'm not naive when we listen to him. I don't think
he's completely off the wall. He's Oh, he's
he's got a fact. He says a lot of really good things. Someone
pointed out to me, a very long blog post on Bill Maher's blog.
And of course, that will also be in the show notes and it's about
the flu vaccine for the swine flu. And this is not the swine
flu minute, by the way. I know you're already humming the tune
those of you listening to the show, because it's something
that just gets in your ear and you can't get out
Come on play it now. No, no, no, no, no, no.
And so he's he's basically, it's like he's listening to no
agenda. And he's going off. And he almost goes as far as to say,
you know, the government's out to kill you. So he gets he gets
pretty damn close. And I'm like, wow, it's I love this. I love
this. Of course, he wrote it on his blog, but it might get some
traction. I really like it, because here you can see a
fellow citizen of Gitmo nation actually starting to awaken. And
I tried to I tried to post a comment, I was gonna say, Hey,
man, if you approached climate change with the same attitude,
and maybe you didn't take the sciences, absolute fact, like Al
Gore tells us. And maybe if you look at some alternative
theories, which don't get any media attention, the exact same
story that you're prolific, you're asserting here with swine
flu vaccinations and swine flu in general, maybe you change
your attitude there. And this is very difficult for this guy,
because his whole audience is all about being an Obama bot and
following the order and, you know, the stuff that we always
talked about. And I think it's beautiful to watch anyway, of
course, if you want to do that, then it's like blog or something
that says, Give us your Google address and password to post
your comment. Um, like, What kind of bullshit is that? What
is that
all of? There's a box below that says you could post anonymously,
I'm sure it's still there. You didn't see it, I
hit the box, and it still asked me for my password. Anyway,
that's probably God telling me I shouldn't leave that comment.
But anyway, it's very interesting. And we're gonna see
more and more and more this happened. People are just waking
up and it's nice. It's a beautiful thing to see.
I guess.
And that is the definition of a buzzkill. Right? The sky is
blue. I have some some fun news from Gitmo nation, the lowlands.
And I figured it out. This is why, even though of course, it's
never enough. We still get donations from the Netherlands.
I think we get donations from countries that are really
severely suppressed. And of course,
you haven't gotten any donations from the Netherlands for a
couple reasons. Yeah. backstreet. I think the latest
thing, the latest gossip about you is blown. It all is kind of
screwing us.
Well, no, my ex wife is out there telling everyone I'm
broke. I got no money.
Well, that's a good thing. Yeah. So
yes, so we should be sending us some dough.
She took all your money now. So of course, the
Netherlands is a great beta test country, just like the United
Kingdom. And so they've been talking about the black box,
which is going to go into automobiles, which from time to
time crops up here in the States as well. So of course, we're
miles behind Gitmo nation east in this case, whereas they're
actually in 2010, they're going to start putting GPS based boxes
in everybody's car, so that they can charge you road tax in
accordance to exactly how much you use your automobile and on
what roads you drove. So there were some questions in
Parliament about this, of course, about the privacy
issues. And the answers come out, it's like, well, of course,
this information is all private, unless the security of the state
is at hand or if we need to prevent or actually investigate
some threat to the state. So not just investigation should you be
for some reasons, suspect of some terrorist activity, but
also for prevention of terrorist activity, which of course means
they're going to be looking at your shit. And they'll be able
to know exactly where you were at exactly what time doing what.
And as far as I can tell, this is just cooked to do to do to be
everyone just kind of, we're just kind of walking along here.
Nothing to see. Look at that. There's like okay, hey, Adam
Curry's the worst dressed man everybody interesting. Idiots.
So you heard about the recovery.gov fiasco and the
cover up about
it? No. No. Is that is that the big news? You want to start the
show? Oh,
no, no, there's big news was the Sarah Palin tour. We're all we
beyond the news show
was all a good night. We'll see. We'll see. I'm not Sunday
everybody.
Yeah, you can get this you miss out of this one go by
it you know what I've been doing. I've been on the road
sucking advertiser Dick trying to get them to support me vo Oh,
well, then you miss this. So somebody just died are just
doing some casual research. They discovered that the actually was
the Heritage Foundation, I believe and that was picked up
ABC or CBS picked it up after that, and then they'd go out
there we discovered it took credit for it, then it got to
the right wing talk radio, the left wing talkers. Of course, we
always have our dichotomy here with the right and the left. And
the left, people have paid no attention to this. They think,
well, it's no big deal. Just it's a common mistake. So the
recovery.org has all these, you know, here's how much money we
saved. And here's how many jobs were saved and this and that,
and the other thing, and somebody noticed that these
districts that they Arizona districts in New Mexico did they
don't exist.
They're not even on the website.
There's no district made, it shows itself on the
way so this is districts that don't exist where they actually
save jobs.
Yes, and money. There guys are like going to need to get the
government response to this. As you know, apparently, the site
is filled with bogus information, somebody who said
we have no idea where any of this stuff comes from. They're
just making it up and putting it on there. This is our
Qudra is doing a great job. million dollars,
ladies and gentlemen, is what they've paid to put this website
up. And it's useless garbage. And so what No, well, we we
didn't do it. We didn't think we didn't know there's just a
common mistake. I don't know where the data came from is a
database error that come with all his bogus excuses. And of
course, the real thing is, it was all it's all phony, the
whole thing's a fake, it's a fraud. Why did you shut down the
site and give the taxpayers or $18 million back?
It's funny, you know, I was I was looking at the at the
nightly news, and no one mentioned this, John.
Oh, well, it's not that important. No, of course, not
only $18 million down the drain, forget
the $80 million. It's all part of the bogus reporting that the
government does just like the the unemployment rate, which is
now above 10%. But of course, that doesn't include as we call
them, the bombs, bombs, the disenfranchised, the
disenchanted, the weak, and the bombs. So we're much closer to
like, I don't know. 1819, maybe 20% in some cases. Oh, yeah.
There's gotta be 20% at least in California Sure. Feels like 20%.
And by the way, I'm out there sucking advertiser dick to stop
that from happening in my own company. Right? Yeah, I can't
wait.
You get those little you getting those kinds of those crow's feet
around the lips there by the way, I'm
walking loose, green. All right. Too much information. There is
something else I didn't see on the news which I had to read and
get mo nation East publication le telegraphy from the UK, a
Boeing 747 transporting cocaine crashed in Africa. So the 747
was yes. 747. And this is according to the you knock the
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. So it actually landed
in West Africa on a small strip, relatively small strip,
obviously, in an emergency but then it it was taking the
weight. Well, I'll get to how it works. Then it took off and it
crashed upon takeoff carrying at least 10 tons of cocaine 10
tons. Now according to the UN ODC the drug problem the opium
now I don't understand how in this article, they're talking
about cocaine and then go back to opium but okay, so according
to the UN ODC the opium comes from quote Nigerian groups based
in Pakistan so here's how it works as far
as that sounds more like an opium and they get some a mixed
up Yeah, cocaine just grew up the search engine so you can't
find this story. Yeah. Oh, so I probably was was
opium or heroin, it was probably heroin. That's what I'm thinking
as well makes more sense. So what happens is, of course, the
shits grown in Afghanistan protected by the troops. It's
then transported to Pakistan, which by the way we're in then
it's taken out of Pakistan for processing in South America and
then from South America, it's flown into the United States. Of
course, no information about markings on the plane. I can't
find any more stories about this. In fact, you know what I'm
doing a save page as we speak. I should have done that. Yes,
we want to remind everybody out there when you run into really
good stories. Seeing in the mainstream media, always don't
bookmark them save page as and then you put it under web page
complete and you should probably have just a folder filled with
these things filled in that way when you go back to look at you
bookmark it to but then you go back to look at is gone, which
will be this will be gone. This will be gone. That will be gone
but you have a copy,
but you think that a 747 filled with heroin crashing would would
make some new somewhere
Yeah, yeah I would think like some guy with a with a with a
baggie. They had a story of important Angeles about Oh, they
got a guy with two ounces. You know front page breaking news.
Stop the presses.
Oh man, I want tons. Hey, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
I'm going to cook a heirloom turkey.
Are you doing that upstate in Washington are down
here? Down here. Do you want to come over?
Oh, thank you so much for inviting me, John, because I'll
be all alone. Oh, Mickey's Mickey's gonna be in Holland.
No, she's
let me think about it first. Oh, bastard. Oh,
wait a minute. Don't look John don't look here it comes. If
anyone can give me a better sound effect for to to the head
and appreciate it because people are complaining.
They don't. Yeah, I could probably put one together but
it'd be a 45 or 44 mil
it's gotta be a silencer is the silencer. So there's your
sounds like they're silent here. Here's why. Oh, wait, I got one
here. I'm gonna play this to do with it does a really good
silencer by the way to do that. Ready? How was that?
didn't feel a thing. You go. Speaking of Pakistan and our
producers had been Hey, by the way, shit. John Stott put on the
brakes. Who's our executive producer?
Good stoppage. Okay. I can't believe you this week's
executive producer Nyb I gotta brew it. You blew it. Well, we
could have brought him in sooner but just give them a low he and
by the way, he deserves a big plug because he gave us $300
Whoa. Michael Menzies.
Michael by the way, he
this this this show. Most of the money came from Australia. Well,
not most Yeah, most of it came from Australia. This guy is in
Eltham, North Victoria, Australia. And he gave us 200
bucks no questions or anything that didn't you know, just throw
it threw it at us. And I'm thinking we're, we have to I'm
in fact that was working on this earlier this week. It kind of an
Australian ditty. That will because Australia has got as
much crap going on, if not more than we
do. It's Guero. Nation down under. Oh, yeah. They got they
got big trouble down
there. Yeah. So Michael, thanks. Yes,
it's highly appreciated, Michael. And of course, you can
put that on your resume. You are the executive producer of no
agenda, Episode 149. Please put his name on the Skype John right
now just so I can remember to put them at the top of the show
notes, which I've been pretty good at. I've changed the format
of the show notes. I'm spending a little more time even some of
the stories we don't get to I'm putting the links in there. And
I want to thank Let me see. I don't know if I'm can find out
who exactly did that? Well, one of our producers heard my call
for audio of United States Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton when she was on her Far East tour, where she was
fielding questions about the Moro Islamic Liberation Front,
in a town hall style gathering in Manila. Here it is.
And I'm encouraged by what I hear about the progress in the
peace efforts that are going on between the government and milk
and
milk. One more milk.
Do you think it is so far removed from popular culture
that she has never heard the term milk? Absolutely. This is
what's running your country. This has said
most people don't know what I think.
Oh, please. My my 76 year old aren't knows that term.
I'm thinking most people don't. And I'm sticking with that
theory. But you know why? And why would she? I mean, come on.
Yeah, you're right. Good point. So you
get a couple more clips. John, maybe you want? Yeah, well,
yeah, I got it. Well, we talked about the homeland security
guys. A minute ago, I was listening to this guy Garza, who
is like an undersecretary for medical Homeland Security,
something or others. It's crazy title. You know, we've gotten
millions of people working in the government with these
titles, and all they do is give testimony now and again. And I
was listening to this testimony. There's a couple of things.
There's two or three things that struck me this was from US
Senate hearing. One of them was that was was a factoid that he
throw threw in there that I dropped my jaw, which you'll
hear and I'm sure you're gonna notice it and then it was also
his his quasi military way of answering questions with these
crazy kind of sentence constructs that are
oh, he's programmed he's totally programmed so that he can't mess
it. Was this a US Senate hearing a congressional hearing? I think
it was Senate. Okay. By the way, this is what we do. Ladies and
gentlemen, we take the raw information like what are the
was people called who are supposed to do that? are
journalists. Yeah, that's right. We take the raw information. We
interpret that for you. And we then actually give you the
source material so you can make up your own decision and do a
little bit of your own research. It's called what is it called
again, John?
I can't remember. It doesn't exist is something old and old
fashioned.
You have to get new words into the dictionary like unfriend.
This is a new thing by the way, unfriend is a new dictionary
word a friend so but they take out words like journalist
journalism, they just take it out. Yeah, put in words like
Huffington?
Unfriend, unfriend.
Let's listen to this guy. As I mentioned earlier, we have a
dual mission where one complements the other 80% of the
Department of Homeland Security personnel are operational.
He's You're right 80% of the US Department of Personnel the only
operation or whatever. I will tell you everything I've been
programmed to tell you for comparison,
this is roughly the size of the Marine Corps. Oh, a chain DHS
have moved aggressively to ensure that our forces are
protected. We have widely disseminated evidence based
guidance to our employees and posted them on our internet
sites.
Wait a minute, I gotta hear that again, to how was he talking
about?
Go back to the BIA. He's
talking about? Like, go back to the very beginning.
Yeah, I think you should. He's talking about the weather the
homeland security people have enough flu vaccine. Basically,
as I mentioned earlier, we have a dual mission where one
complements the other 80% of the Department of Homeland Security
personnel are operational. Okay.
Operational. What does that mean? I have no idea. Does that
mean that they've been injected?
I have no, no, they're operational. They're just as
that means that what's the other 20% doing? They're obviously
sitting on their butts doing nothing. I have no idea what
this is gobbledygook crap of bureaucrats. It's ridiculous.
Okay,
for comparison, this is roughly the size of the Marine Corps.
Oh, a chain DHS have moved aggressively to ensure that our
forces are protected. We have widely disseminated evidence
based guidance to our employees and posted them on our internet.
So
evidence based guidance. In other words that mean the truth?
It means it's the truth. It's evidence based. It's not just
some crackpot theory we dreamed up. It's the truth. If anyone
has a copy of this and seeing if there's 80,000. Was it 80,000?
No, 80% 80% rule never gives any numbers. No, he says this The
size of what you'd pick up, ya know, the size of the Marines?
Yeah, that's huge. Huge. This is department whole nature. And by
the way he uses to describe the these Homeland Security folks.
He describes them as forces. Oh, totally. So listen, there are
forces do this. Our forces do that. I mean, so in other words,
it's a military quasi military organization.
It's not quasi it's real. It's the real deals
to our employees and posted them on our internet sites.
You know, it's on the internet site. So we'll take a look
there. Okay. Addition, we spearheaded
the acquisition, storage and forward positioning of our
protective measures, including PPE and antiviral medications
was
V what? I have no idea what's just 40 He makes it sound like
he's on a mission in Afghanistan. He listen
to this guy. He this is the way he views it John, of course,
he's a Marine. He's
like a Dr. Murray sounds like he's he sounds like a two bit
military crony that's not even made Colonel yet. The bosses
with his talk
of our protective measures, including PPE and antiviral
medications. By performing
it's probably like, hey, probably like protective
personnel protective, something you know, it's like a rational
but use the chat functions
to help ensure that the threat of the current pandemic will not
influence influence the security posture
Is he reading from a teleprompter he stumbled over
the words that thread of his
current pandemic will not influence or influence the
security posture of this nation.
security posture, posture, which in this case, which Andover bow
he got.
Another stuff keeps popping up, not have had some time to
process it. Of course, Uncle Don, my uncle Don was there was
a funny quote, somewhere. He read it to me an old picture. We
were looking at old pictures and says Donald P Greg, a civilian
in the Pentagon, which of course means CIA. He was previously he
was even laughing about that. He's like a civilian in the
Pentagon. What does that supposed to mean? So I said,
Hey, man, what do you think about this extra layer? The
Obama administration has put above everybody, the FBI, the
CIA, etc. And he gave me a look, he said, The CIA is freaking
out. They are so angry. And it was already they already had all
this crap going
on. He's like, this has been your theory from the get go.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And they are very and so without saying They're very angry at the
Obama administration. The look was enough. He said, There's
confusion. There's anger, there's dismay. And of course,
you know, he's a CIA guy. So he's saying, like, you know,
well, you know, where's the, you know, where's the good things we
did? I like Don place. What do you want? But yeah, this is,
this is all just
it's in the book legacy of ashes.
We talked about that again, as well. And, and I said, like, you
know, so, you know, Legacy of ashes, you know, when you told
me Okay, so how did you get into this? Well, you actually got me
started, you know, after you wrote that, that New York Times
piece about legacy of ashes. And then you told me that everything
in the book was pretty much the wet, no, true. Except, of
course, they didn't put any of the good things in the good
things you did. I said, Well, you know, so there it goes. It
just proves that for 20 years, we were afraid that Russia had
all this great technology, and turns out it was bull, and that
the CIA read it wrong. Or perhaps there was counter
intelligence that made us read it wrong. And then we spent 20
years being afraid of nothing. Nothing I tell you 2030, made
how long
started in 1957. dropped their first H bomb. So
a six year 30 years, I'm sorry? 30 years. 30 years, by the way,
a great point made by Mickey and Don is why if you're Mickey
lived in Japan, and of course Don has been in Korea, Japan,
all over Asia, multiple
Mickey ever worked in the Pentagon?
Only as a civilian. And and there's this war memorial in I
believe Nagasaki.
You know, she you know, and Mickey is just there to keep an
eye on you. Right? Yeah, she hasn't
been activated yet. She's part of the 20%. That hasn't been
activated yet. Once he's activated. That's it. I'll make
sure I record the sound effect for everybody
can use it. I'll use it on the on the on the attribute show
when I get the two to the head. But every world leader pretty
much has been to the war memorial at Nagasaki except a US
President. And wouldn't it be particularly with Obama
traveling around in the in Far East Asia and you're going to
see all these leaders wouldn't be great. If you went to the War
Memorial and Nagasaki, that would mean a Ryu that would be a
real diplomatic state.
I suspect it's not our doing. I really doubt the Japanese
government wants us to visit the thing because it would cause
nothing but a headache for them in terms of protests.
I disagree. And only because Miki lived there for five years
and she lived amongst the people. Well, of course, she
lived above the people.
Yeah, she's six foot five. And they're all like, four foot two.
But but that is something that is sorely sorely missed is is a
visit from a real us honest to god President.
Well, then you got to wait.
Yeah, no kidding.
Okay, so a couple of things. Well, I got the I guess not
crossed it off. Nevermind.
Anyway. So I, John, once again, I appreciate you listening to C
span for a countless hours to pick up that little ditty. And
once I quit my day job, I too, will be able to have more clips
of this ilk. I mean, some people just have more time where
they're basing their meat than others. I'm pasting meat of a
different sort. I don't want to know, but this is this is what
we do on that no agenda. And this is why we have people who
are executive producers who give us money to keep us going,
because why should we do it for free? And honestly, I'm getting
a bit discouraged. I was hoping we would you know, eventually, I
thought we had a little uptick there for a while. And I thought
we would get to a third show a week, which is really my dream.
I would really like to just do this full time. But we need more
donations. And I can't say it often enough if every single
person who listens to the show. Even if you did $5 A year of
course you have to do $5 a month just to make up for the leeches.
We would we would be doing this show full time. Well,
I've got a little clip here that I want to play and before we
start asking or mentioning the people who did give this week
this is the i think i i was watching this I went oh my God
and I just had to clip the whole thing and it's a long clip. But
this is the end this is a clip you'll see there's long and you
can you can interrupt it if you want to but it's just like a jaw
dropper. This is we're talking about we're this show that we do
is basically like public radio on the internet. At but without
being connected to anybody you know that's that's commercial
there's
no no underwriting or funding or as they call it themselves
commercials from General Electric Archer Daniels Midland
Corporation from Boeing. And by the way, when you see those
commercials on public television, ask yourself, why
they're not selling you a product. They're not telling
you, oh, you should be flying in Boeing planes with GE engines.
No, that's not why they're doing it. They're doing it because
that way, they're actually they are touting the fact that they
have influence over what you're about to see. They are actually
laughing in your face like,
and the joke of it is, of course, they're they're begging
for money from the public. And the public gives them money.
Yeah, a lot more than they give us. This is the end. This clip
is the end of the McNeil lair world. News Hour,
the News Hour, which is brought to you by ADM, Boeing, and
well, this is the end with with the credits for this particular
show. And there's even a moment where they had where they run
out of time. They've been plugging stuff. We have
a show. Coming. Oh, geez. All right, playing. Nation.
And we'll see you online. And again here tomorrow evening. I'm
Jim Lehrer. Thank you and good night. Major funding for the
News Hour with Jim Lehrer is provided by
what the world needs to know is energy. The energy to God, this
is BP and the energy to tackle Chelsea's like climate change.
What if that energy came from an energy company?
I just got to stop this. So whatever the hell this come I
think it's BP so well, okay. But they're actually telling you
that there will never be a negative story about climate
change or an alternative story to climate change in the
program. You just watch because these guys are paying for it
to to tackle challenges like climate change. What if that
energy came from an energy company? Every day Chevron
invest 60 Chevron dollars in people in ideas, people
building buildings
around the world to move us all ahead. This is the power of
human energy.
Sounds like I should run commercial,
supporting math and science education for tomorrow's
innovators.
And by Wells Fargo advisors. There's the money guys together
will go far. BNSF Railway
and by Toyota. Oh yes. No bad stories about Japan for you. And
Monsanto. Wait a minute. How come they don't do the jingle?
We got to send them the jingle John. This is totally
ridiculous. Oh, I can't believe that. So there we go. And by
Grant Thornton that's Grant Thornton is also the money guys
right there accountants right. They're the ones sorting our
accounts, they cook the books.
And by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
yeah, hand in hand with Monsanto for the seed bank to get into
the
idea that all people deserve the chance to live a healthy
productive life
is that they're what they're dedicated to
die apparently. That's our new buzz phrase.
And with the ongoing support of these institutions and
foundations,
there's a huge list. Okay.
More about his program was made possible by the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting. And the Indian Institute or PBS station
from viewers like you.
And by the way, thank you to slaves. Yeah. So let me just
play that clip one more time of the chairwoman of public
broadcasting at NPR and NPR National Public Radio, which
some call the National trees your
national treasure. And this is called treasure that was Janine
Garoppolo saying that
yeah. Oh, yeah. National Treasure. I love it so much with
who is influencing your national treasure? It couldn't be
advertisers. Now could it? Okay, moving on to money? How are NPRs
corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession?
Well, Monsanto is really not giving us enough anymore. What
about foundation grants
to different stories? Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is this is
the area that is most down for us is is in is in sponsorship,
underwriting advertising. Call it whatever you want.
Yeah, let's just call it whatever you want. Let's just
call it advertising, shall we? That would just be the proper
name for it. So anyway, so And by the way, I love the chat
room. They're always laughing about this, like, you know, but
you guys actually play the game. Marshalls we do you don't want
ads. But yet you well, we're not getting paid for it. Yeah, we're
getting nothing. Yeah. Buffer deter. Yeah.
So if you want to keep this alive and by the way, we've got
some heat going on with this thing. We were nominated for two
Podcast Awards.
Yeah, we could win one on one. We're both some guys that gave
us some money this week. I'm pleased and some women we have
another.
Oh, I would like to point out that my sister Willow who is a
leech and has not donated she says, Look, shut up. At least I
keep your female listener count up. I had to give that one to
her.
Good point. Okay. Good point, Willow.
So we now have about 25 Female listeners to the show where
we're moving along, we added a lot of that have donated small
amounts of money and they don't get mentioned. So I think we're
probably closer to 30. But we got William Marchand, who was
given before it's in Drake and Massachusetts, and he's, he's on
a night's program and you have $137 other night program people,
you know, this is these are, we're gonna keep mentioning
them, but it's Ricky Pierce and John Petrucci and Laurie corpi.
That's le Ric KR Pei, the Finnish person. And and here's
the bad news of this week. The bad news is and by the way,
people, if you have some extra money in your PayPal account,
you want to cancel a PayPal account, just give it to us and
then close it.
A couple of people have done that. Usually it's only pennies,
but at least it's just not much 96
cents, one from one guy, but I appreciate it Sterling Ellsworth
are perpetual, $77.77 donor, unfortunately, this week, gave
$7.77 with a note. Oh, he said Obama's recession his killing
him, this is the best he can do.
Well, first of all, it is highly appreciated, regardless of what
you give to the show. And secondly, we just heard
donations, advertising, whatever you want to call it. It's down
for everybody. It's down for everybody. These are hard times
my friend. But you know what? At least he'll drink one Starbucks
coffee less and give it to us because that's really what we're
talking about here.
Well, he's he's he's a great guy. Mike Potter of curb appeal.
concretes looking for a government contract Lake St.
Louis, Missouri. 5555, which is nice. Then we had a bunch of $50
contributors brandy Eddie in Olympia, Washington. Christopher
poda in I guess it's Vinton Virginia, in the middle of
nowhere and good for him. Anyway, from Virginia, and then
we got an odd contribution. Luca Comodoro CLPP a D O R O from
Milano, Italy.
Bon giorno, pronto. Luca said
that that clip you played it that guy saying it's going to be
a new world government New World Order. Winning Australian firms.
Noise sorry, I opened a web page and what
auto Luca says that the New World Order clip you played last
week was enough to convince him to donate
Oh, I've got another one then from Henry Kissinger on Charlie
Rose. We can play that. I
saw that too. Okay, let me get finished this off. He gave us
113 euros, 113 euros. He says 113 is the emergency number.
Give me just like 911 Correct, correct. So you punch in 113. So
this is a helpline, but it came in because he donated 113 euros
it came and this is the sad state of affairs the United
States. Let me guess let me guess it came in as $160 168.
My good 46
Oh, my goodness. Yes. Thank you very much. That's that's a
beautiful amount and a very symbolic amount and that is
highly appreciated. Yeah, that was
outstanding blue. Beyond Blue concepts in northwest, New South
Wales, Australia 8699 And Joshua David Tao in Mesquite. Of all
places Mesquite, Nevada gave us 149, which was second only to
our friend, our new friend Michael Menzies from Eltham,
North Victoria, Australia. Okay, mainly $300. So that's all we
had this week is not that much. But we had a lot of small
donors, though, I have to say I want to thank lots of 10s in 96
senses and against closing out their, their PayPal accounts.
I gotta tell you that I do believe in this model. I really
do. And I'm coming up with an essay that I'm going to write,
which I think is going to be the working title is advertising is
dead. Which of course it really is the type of advertising that
we're used to. And don't you remember there was this whole
theme for a while that everyone's saying, Well, you
know, disruptive advertising woltlab We kind of slipped away
from that. And you know, we've got all this disruptive
advertising Seeing that said it's everywhere and people just
ignoring it. I don't think a lot of it works. Yes, some of it
must. But yeah, even I was watching V with Mickey. So we
had a V Athan because of course, we were in New York. Actually, I
was in Chicago, whatever we were on the road. So we had recorded
last week's V. And then of course, Tuesday, when we came
back, the new V was up. So we're like, Okay, two episodes back to
back. And we've got it on the DVR, which means we can skip
through the commercials. Now normally, that's about five
clicks, which is about two and a half minutes. So it's 30 seconds
per click on the fast forward to DISH Network has that lovely
feature still enabled, which I think was disabled on most
TiVos. And it's unfuckin. watchable, it's unwatchable. The
second you get into it. Boom, commercial. Click, click, click.
And of course you it's not five clicks. It's eight clicks.
Yeah, no, it's seven. Yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang,
bang. And then you're still you see the promos, you get pulled
out of it. And of course, and you pointed this out on cranky
geeks the other day. I think when there's an Apple ad you
stop. It's like, Oh, I haven't seen this Apple ad yet. Let me
look at that one. And then you can see it's unwatchable. You
were so right, John, I lasted we got through the last week's
episode. And then we got through, I'd say 10 minutes of
this week's episode, and we gave up that's it, we're done. We
can't wait to unwind. And it's not necessarily the dumb story
or the childish way that the plot is fed into you. Because of
course, you're a fucking moron. And the only reason why we're
showing you this is to make sure you're ready for all the ads
that are coming to feed you with stuff. It's unwatchable. It's
just on watchable with all the commercials.
I find the same thing with talk radio in the morning. I mean,
you listen to these guys is the same formula, you know, two to
one, two minutes of content for one minute commercials. And they
string out these advertisements for vitamins. And but the
problem is with the radio, you can't skip ahead. Fast forward.
No, of course. So what you do is what everybody else does, you
start punching the button to get to the other channels. I have
like four in the morning. There's like a sports talk. And
usually which
by the way, when I was in New York, we had lights, we had four
different lights in the studio. And those lights would light up
when one of the competition was in commercials. So we know if so
this was wh tz high rockin z 100. Server, the universe from
the top of the Empire State Building everybody. And so when
WP LJ 95, five, when they were in commercials, we would
basically immediately go to the biggest hit possible and put
that into rotation. Because when people are zapping around during
the commercials, you want them to hammer on to the big hit that
they're waiting for. Right? Yeah, this is all program now
before we let's just move off of this, let me just play a small
piece of and this is for our friend who donated 113 euros
from from Italy. This is Henry from Milan Oh, no less, Henry
Kissinger talking about President Obama's trip to China.
This is from November 16, just a little bit of the audio listen
to what he has to say, okay, problem
in it. We have a whole array of problems, each of it,
Afghanistan, and so forth, then we have the financial issues.
But they really are issues of the construction of a new world
order. That's what it's about. And that's the sort of dialogue
the Chinese are generally good.
There you go. So our president
says I'm gonna have to let you know I think I could get that
frog out of his throat you know, by punching up the
we need to do the one on your Skype in in the in Port Angeles
so we can kind of see what he says this is basically the
construction of a new world order. And this is why Obama is
bowing before all of these Far Eastern Asian leaders, because
he's bowing to them because they own our ass. Own it.
By the way for people who want to donate don't forget you go to
no agenda show.com or divorce act.org/in. A, and help us out
for Sunday. So we get our numbers up because they're
actually pretty weak this week. Yeah,
it's disruptive. org.org/and
a
warning. So there's, I have a couple of aviation related
stories. I wanted to hit real quick, but also there was
something about China oh, by
the way, before we go off the topic, I do want to mention one
thing I want to give people some because why you guys had enough
money.
We have to do the we have to do the jingle hold on
yeah, that's, that's when that'll put people to sleep. So
we're going to I want to mention, you know, a primetime
TV show which runs let's say an hour. The way they're budgeted
is based on on People number of people that watch, essentially,
the viewers are valued at $1 per show per viewer. And so if they
have 10 million viewers they have, they have usually an
income of $10 million per show, and then they can budget based
on that. So they'll budget couple million dollars to
produce like, you know, some cis show, for example, I think it's
probably goes out for 2 million or more. And then they didn't
have to divide up the rest of it amongst the networks and
everybody in between. But it's, but if we take a look at our
audience of 100,000 people, we do an hour and a half twice a
week. So we do three hours of programming, which is may or may
not be considered primetime, because it's available to
anybody. Technically, to really make it look as good as it would
with a commercial operation, we should be bringing in with
100,000 listeners, probably 100 to $200,000, we're bringing in
1000. We're bringing in 1/100 of what we should be getting if we
were a commercial operation that was actually pumping out you
know, two minutes of content one minute of advertising. We would
be rich, but we're not. So I'm just mentioning it to people
that if you look at things in perspective, we we could use
more money. That's the point so don't feel bad. Don't send us
nasty notes. You guys should be working for free. Yeah, blow
which we do get at least once a week. So
that's what podcasting is all about. Dude, no, that's not what
it's about. We're doing actual work. I'm following a Chinese
blog.
They're telling me you know that you learn Chinese yet
and no, but luckily, this guy, Benjamin Fulford, and I'll put
his his link in the show notes by the way, another fine service
we provide you for free. He translates it and this is so I'm
just hooking back into Kissinger with his new world order and and
Obama you know, suck it up to him over there. So China title a
visit China quietly introduces new financial system, which is
marginally interesting. Of course, we know that that the
that there is a new you know, there's a real push for a new
reserve currency. And here's some here's what I thought was
interesting. China is purchasing 10,000 tons of gold to backup a
new fund designed to develop and market here four here to four
forbidden and suppressed technologies. The fund will be
based outside of China and will be controlled by prominent
members of the Chinese overseas community. Now here's here's the
thing that blew me away, the gold purchase will take some
time because of the logistics transporting it. And the Chinese
wish to test it thoroughly because both the Chinese
government and MI six now confirm reports that much of the
gold sold by the Federal Reserve Board over the past decade is in
fact, gold plated tungsten.
Yeah, yes, there's a break. This was a story that wasn't covered
by the mainstream media. I did see it. And they and apparently
I don't even know if his gold plate I think they kind of
dipped,
spray painted it with like Christmas tree paint? No, I
think there's actually enough gold on the outside of your
scraper to scrape off some gold. But
you're telling me that the Federal Reserve is
I don't know the the federal I don't know that that part of the
story is true. But I understand there's a lot of tungsten out
there that is being sold as gold because it has essentially the
same way.
It's exactly, exactly. So this is you know, this is very, very
frightening. And of course, it now I'm starting to understand
why the Federal Reserve doesn't actually want to be audited. To
me, I just remind you that there's no one who has gone on
record and has actually seen the gold that is supposed to be in
the vaults of the Federal Reserve. You're not allowed in
there. You're that's our gold. That's our American United
States of America.
A bunch of these vaults underneath a huge tray, the Twin
Towers, and there's like they remember the stories that came
ashore initially about the missing gold. The Twin Towers.
Stories never resurfaced.
No. Why would it? Why would it were way too busy nominating and
awarding Adam curry with the Worst Dressed Man of the Year
Award, and other twin Taylor Swift related stories. That's
what the media assassination is all about. And I forgot to tell
you that in case you hadn't noticed, we have a formula.
Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
And we can't do it without your donations. We really can't. And
I would like to do a hell of a lot more and boy, would we be
good as particularly if we could get to a third show which I
really want to do. You just have that third show on your craw I
do okay, two aviation related stories. The first one is from a
week and a half ago. Reports of airplanes spraying mysterious
substance over Ukraine days before pneumonic plague
outbreak. Now of course I've been harping from time to time
on the so called chemtrails which are real which are admit
It now admits that they have done many admits then I'll have
to put the documents in the show notes give you give me a couple
of days because I can't quit my day job just yet but I will do
it. Five sources confirm this. local newspapers have key I've
also received hundreds of phone calls from residents and
business owners close to the area the planes were spraying
suspicious substance. But not only that, but local businesses
and retailers were advised to stay indoors during that day by
local authorities.
Well, I'd like to see some documentation for this in other
words, some of the advisory notices or something like that.
My understanding was they were seeding the clouds Yeah,
with a virus from Baxter International which is located
right there and you cry
you know that virus cannot you if you dropped a virus at that
altitude is not going to be alive by the time what
altitude John these things you think this like 40,000 feet? No,
this is doing this at a couple 1000 feet,
like a crop duster flying over.
That's exactly what it is. And it's and I see it all the time
in San Francisco, by the way, all the time.
No, please. I've never seen it once.
Let's let me so you think I'm crazy. Right? And yes, I will
point out to you when it happens again. And I can show you
pictures of the planes at local airports with all the spray
devices on them be happy to
do crop dusters they go up to the Napa Valley. Jet John
it's a Lear jet with his shit on it. It's not a cry. It's not
like a biplane. So remote, okay,
you take a picture of the Learjet with this shit on it.
I will. I've got pictures. I've got the pictures, you say that I
have the pictures from Tony, who drives me from time to time. And
Tony has also driven some black hats up to what's the black hat
air airport? I'll come up with it. I don't know. Anyway, he saw
one of these planes and he took pictures of it. So I'll get
those posted. But just to just to kind of
does a Baxter international on the Tail. Tail number and look
it up. You can look it up by tail number, see what this guy's
flying around.
Okay, good point, I shall do that. Remember the quantas jet
that that took those plunges on its way from Perth from
Singapore in October last year. Members, there's like a big
thing and they said it was oh, it had to be a maintenance and
everyone was and it was oh it was the we even discussed that
as a as a possible problem that the because the maintenance was
done in Mexico or some bullshit like that. And of course I had
some crackpot theory about it. Well, I would line out now like
just to read you from the official interim second interim
report from air safety investigators into what happened
to flight to flight qf 72, which left one flight attendant and 11
passengers with serious injuries. There is a constant
stream of high energy galactic and solar radiation interacting
with the Earth's upper atmosphere, the report notes,
this interaction creates a cascade of secondary particles.
Some of the secondary particles in particular neutrons can
affect aircraft avionics systems. Of course, this was an
Airbus, which is highly automated, highly system aided I
think running Windows and t actually. And this, of course
happened in the southern hemisphere. And this continues
to happen to aircraft that are in the southern hemisphere. And
no one's copping to the fact that there is some major shift
going on with mag with actually solar storms. Not suns. I'm
sorry. Not solar. Yeah, it is sold. Yeah, the solar magnetic
storms. And it is affecting aircraft in avionics. And now
they're reporting on it. So when you laugh at me for these things
and your lap, I was in total agreement with this theory. Now
you were talking about the maintenance in Mexico, that was
your side. Now whatever, it was both valid. So stay away from
those Airbus's is what I'm saying?
Yeah, I would know the air button to say well don't fly an
Airbus in the southern hemisphere, I guess for sure.
Correct. That idea.
So that's interesting. So that that's an official report. Yeah,
that's something from prison planet.
No, no, I have the PDF which will also put in the I gotta
presume the PDF is official. It looks pretty official.
Yeah, well, probably is. Nobody bothers with that sort of hoax.
Before I know well, you know, why is because no one's
reporting on it. It's not big enough. I mean, if you're gonna
make a hoax, then you want something that a lot of people
are going to talk about, like, let me see Oh, airplanes flying
into towers, and then the jet fuel melting them. Yeah, that's
a good one. Oh, Before I forget hr 1207, which of course is Ron
Paul's end, the Fed bill is now trying to be about to be watered
down by Mel Watt. Representative Mel Watt. And essentially the
whole bill is just going to be a piece of crap.
Oh, what do you and and we didn't see this coming down
Broadway. Yeah.
Of course we know what's going to happen, but it's it well,
it's one step closer. So we've got
to keep fighting. It's not it's not. It's not a step closer.
Well, people will eventually figure it out. You know, that
guy that Blankfein, the CEO of
did I tell you about the Lions for the swine flu vaccine over
here in Albany? Yeah, you
did last week on the last show? Yeah. People figuring things out
a lot. Yeah, no, you're right. Lord, Lord Blankfein, the CEO of
Goldman Sachs after in the Financial Times, which we
reported on after he said, we're doing God's work, which of
course, oh, it was just a joke. And because everyone got really
pissed off about it, and it started to catch some fire. They
had to do some damage control and now they're like, we're
coming out with a $500 million fund to invest in small
businesses. Invest in small businesses, you bastards. Lying
bastards. No way.
So while you're reading that book was the book I got here.
Do you want to do you want to hit the swine flu minute are
you have swine flu stuff? Because I'm really don't have
much.
I gotta, I got a little bit I know you can't help yourself,
but you're just humming that in the shower. It's, you know, this
is Jeff Smith. He makes hits so big. And you just hit the no
agenda, swine flu minute. Yeah, so actually, I was kind of
leading into it with the mysterious substance that was
sprayed over Ukraine. Oh, by the way, breaking news, Tony Blair
has apparently dropped out of the race to become the first
president of the year of Europe.
I wonder who is who the overlords where that made this
decision?
Yeah, someone definitely.
Kind of screws up our basic theories and does
well it's not over yet. Coming to you from Ireland get my
nation east. The Irish government plans to introduce
compulsory swine flu vaccinations and it's preparing
to jail people if they refuse to take the jab, as they call it
over there in the east. Be Irish daily Sunday Star reported that
British health department is the Irish health department is
planning to activate provisions in the 1947 Health Act to
enforce mandatory swine flu vaccinations. Baxter a company
currently under invested investigation by the Austrian
police for deliberately contaminating 72 kilos of axon
of a vaccine material with a live bird flu virus in February
is going to be supplying Ireland with the swine flu vaccines. I'd
say tip of the hat tip of the day you guys are screwed what
screwed an Irish
I could be I mean, if you're gonna miss you know the idea of
mixing these viruses in the same vial is to maybe they can come
up with some new one that come out of it that they can crank up
the pandemic that actually does kill people Yeah, but then to
actually make it mandatory mandatory I mean, if it's if
it's mandatory in Ireland it is now the United States of Europe
it will be mandatory all UK and by the way it in the in the
Lisbon Treaty which I read for you. Yes, I took the time to
read the whole thing. The in the Lisbon Treaty, it literally says
that they can mandate things like vaccines if there is an
imminent threat to the nation or the states, which of course this
is because the World Health Organization has deemed this to
be a pandemic level six under the rules which they changed
just before all this broke conveniently so anyone in Gitmo
states of Europe can expect to have forced vaccinations.
Meanwhile, back home and Gitmo nation mid mid Midwest,
Minneapolis, Hennepin County Libraries say plush toys and
hand puppets will no longer be available for checkout or play
because of swine flu concerns. Hmm.
I'm glad you're being extra cautious.
This is going a little bit too far.
Well, it's like the guy the idiot coaches says no more high
fives from the football players. Yeah,
but that's not how you're going to get swine flu from putting
your hands in a hand puppet. And by the way, it's a disgusting
thought. Anyway, if I was at the library, I would let my kid just
stick their hand up. Well, maybe you can stick your hand up
there. But yeah, wash it after that. You know?
Nobody put a turd in this one.
There's all kinds of crap in there.
I have a great day. Giving his high school kids a lot of kids.
Let's put
poop in there. And now of course in a given nation east, the
under fivers will be offered the swine flu vaccine. I don't get
it they keep touting everywhere that the CDC has said that
pregnant women and children under five are at high risk. Yet
all the vaccine inserts say that you know, you need to really be
careful if you're pregnant or under five before taking the
vaccine. I don't understand. Yeah, I
know they're all these all this information for what they do
anyone born after 1956 the likelihood of getting into zero
they don't need the shot older people should have the shot. I
mean, what you just like all the information is contradictory.
It's all over the map. There's no one source of good
information. It's it's a scam. And by the
way, you and I talked to talk to a couple of the kids who came in
the other day at the media office Amanda and some
girlfriends who was with these kids are what 2223 And you know,
they're so they of course they buy into global warming, and
they're very afraid of it and said no, I don't worry about it.
You're not gonna die. Unless you take the swine flu shot to No,
no, no, we're not taking the swine flu shot. Everybody we
know takes that shot got sick that day, ah, you're shooting a
virus into somebody, of course, you're gonna get sick. Well,
you're
always shooting a virus into somebody with the shots. You
don't always get sick from a flu shot. But why is everyone
getting sick from this one? Yeah, well, I'm very
good question. And I would like to remind everybody, all you
have to do is to do is go to glaxosmithkline.com. Go
download, download the PowerPoint from the, from the
CEO, when he's presenting it. Not that not the Annual Report
PowerPoint, but the one where he's really showing off like at
the conference, and you know, they're always going to some
conferences, and they're showing off what they can do like
financial conferences. I think it's like the Goldman Sachs
swine flu conference. And you look at it and it's like, we're
so proud. Our pipeline is huge vaccines are it this is gonna be
great front page, the Financial Times last week, front page, the
nicotine vaccine, it's on its way. I mean, oh, is
this a vaccine? It's not a vaccine is an inhibitor
definition is not a vaccine because the nicotine addiction
is not a is not technically a disease is not caused by a
vector. Somebody gets bitten by a mosquito, and they have to
have a smoke. Hey.
Yeah, that's kind of the way I feel. But what it does is yeah,
it's not a vaccine. It actually, it attaches and poisons you.
Yeah, it attaches itself to some micro group and Glauben in your
in your bloodstream is
lost to listeners, because it's that one guy, right, you know,
and mispronounces words, micro Moocow,
glauben. And so it makes it bigger. So it actually can't get
into the brain receptors. I mean, this is this is messing
with your bloodstream. I don't like the idea. No, but there's
going to be a lot there's going to be if you
don't want to smoke, just stop. Oh, it's such easy for you to
say to vorak.
There's gotta be some, no, they had, but the front page of the
funnel might hold on a second, let me see if I can find it.
Probably people live longer smoking than they would taking
these kinds of medications. Yeah, I
think I think I threw it out, unfortunately. But it was the
front page. And you know, they had all these statistics that
the Financial Times, by the way, which you know, now, I'm losing
respect for them as well. And it's like, well, statistics show
that of all people who quit smoking, you know, 80% start
again. And you know, what we really need this vaccine is
going to be great. And you're right, by definition, it is not
a vaccine, but there's going to be a shot so your kid won't get
fat that you know, here's what I predict in our lifetime during
this show. If we ever get enough money to continue, during the
show, there'll be an anti gay vaccine, I guarantee you,
someone's going to come up with it. This is how crazy this is
going to become. If you want your kid not to be gay, take
this shot. It'll be fine. I guarantee that's,
that's sick, but you're probably right. And of course, what
they've done here is they've promoted the use of the term
vaccine. And they you know, and then all the you know, all the
stories about the swine flu and how we're handling and
everyone's getting their shots. There's lines around the corner
and everybody's all, you know, jacked up about the idea of
vaccine vaccine vaccine is going to save us. So you equate
vaccinations with with with good things that could save you. I
mean, they could be shooting people that have swine flu
vaccine, for all we know could be just water. So the FDA
is very close to approving this. This nicotine vaccine and I
would like to read from the dictionary vaccine is quote a
substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and
provide immunity against one or several diseases prepared from
the causative agent of a disease. So you're right by
definition, by definition, this is not a vaccine and if the FDA
actually approves it under the wording vaccine, well then you
know that pain He who was in charge of the FDA is a complete
frickin shill. Absolutely.
Boy, let's, let's close it out Hold on a second agenda we're on
it for you. And don't let them trick you with this. Oh, there's
not enough room. We don't have enough go stand in line. You're
in a higher Nintendo marketing theory. Totally. And
it's working. Yeah. And I would like to mention one more thing a
whole so I guess breitbart.com or big Hollywood or whatever
that Breitbart dude does. All of a sudden the internet's are all
a lit a light in a lit about oh, they use law in order to promote
the health care agenda. Okay, how long ago did we start on
this? How long ago? Do we identify it? How often we think
we've been doing it for over a year, I believe we've been
playing
you clips from C. Long orders. CSI. Oh, another thing about
CSI. So we assign that cis.
We had a we had a burglary at the offices downstairs in the
basement. We have two studios and one studio was broken into
clearly by someone who wanted to, you know, probably a drug
addict. Because they took three cameras they left a lot of
really expensive shit there. But it was just unknown not the
stuff you can sell on the street. No height, no HD camera,
you can you can get really you can get rid of quick, right, you
know, 100, maybe 200 bucks or something. So it's very clear
that this is someone who just knew what they were doing had to
get a quick fix. And it's it sucks because you feel violated.
And we almost couldn't do cranky geeks because of it. So anyway,
the cops come in. And and they come in with their dusting kit,
which kind of looks like number one. We are kids, John. And for
Christmas, you get like a medical kit. You could be played
doctor. Yeah, well, those little plastic things. So that's
essentially what they're carrying. It's not It's it. The
only things missing is not pink. So it could be the nurse kit.
And they open it up and they're like, well, first of all, they
say where do you want us to dust? And we're like, Well, how
about the door? They jammed open with a crowbar? Would that be a
good place to start? No, we can't lift prints from that.
Like what? Where's your where's your where's your blue light
that you flip? where's the where's William Peterson?
You just walk in you
spray a little gas on a piece of you know,
being and we've got the DNA and we cross reference it and we've
got the fucker Where's all that technology? That's Oh, you mean
it's not true? It's bogus. Oh, yeah. Don't say bastards.
Yeah, catch the guys that are not interested. I
just throwing back to the beginning of the show regarding
Sarah Palin. I did catch some of what she said on Sean Hannity
last night. And, of course, she carried across the meme
beautifully, because regardless of whatever you think of her,
she's programmed she's a bot. And she's like, oh, yeah, this
Fort Hood shooting. That was a total terrorist attack. You
know, the meme that we predicted, John, she carried on
Oh, because of political incorrectness. She wasn't, you
know, this guy should have been profiled. Oh, I'm gonna get
slammed by all the Belden liberals tomorrow for saying
profiling blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile,
meanwhile, the White House. Of course, of course it was we know
the guy was actually a patsy. And there's so much wrong with
this story. And so many well, we
can't get the story. That's the problem. First, it was three
guys. And it was one guy then there was the woman shot and
then she didn't shoot him. It was some other guy, a black man
who actually took him down.
He did all this with a handgun where he had to reload at least
three or four times, according to
16. And you hear was a hand gun store where there was lots of
witnesses there told everyone to shut up, obviously. Yeah, well,
it gets better when it comes to witnesses because the first
public congressional hearing on the Fort Hood attack will not
include testimony from any current federal law enforcement,
military or intelligence officials because the Obama and
his administration may
wait, wait, wait, you mean the people that were there to say
yes,
the Obama administration has, quote, declined to provide any
such witnesses. There will be no witnesses who were there. It's
all gonna be well, you know, when it goes,
this is a scandal. Adam, this must have been all over the
news.
Again, I go back to my award for the worst dressed man in the
Netherlands at the embassy here. I'm not even gonna play the
jingle as you know play it much anymore. Because it gets tiring.
I could have we could call the show nothing to see here. We
that's what we could do the entire time. I'd
love it. They're not gonna have any witnesses that were actually
at the event. And we still don't know who the civilian was. I
think that's the key.
One civilian out of the blue was killed. Probably worked at the
Pentagon and civilian at the Pentagon civilian
at the Pentagon. Now we know the code. This is the stuff you got
to look for words matter. I am happy that I guess it's Harry
Reid's version of the health care bill has now been posted
online. I guess now it's up to 2500 pages. It's okay, because
I'm going to read it for you other so here's my homework. I'm
gonna try and get done before Sunday. But it'll probably
before I have everything done, it'll be next week. Nicky's
leaving on Monday for for a week to get mo nation East. And then
she's got to be in LA for some for some work stuff. So I will
have plenty of time. I will read through this bill, I will at
least be able to address it with some you know, I will do what
even our our elected officials are not doing because you know,
they're not going to read it. No, of course not. Why would
they die for and then a final length this will be in the show
notes from Nouriel Roubini, who is of course was a crackpot a
joke laughable a douche until he predicted the huge recession,
not only the timing, but exactly what would happen. He predicted
it very accurately. Now he's seen as some form of Oracle. And
he published an article in the Daily News. And the headline is
the worst is yet to come. unemployed Americans should
hunker down for more job losses. And he actually goes into the
whole the calculation of the the disenchanted and the bums. And
you know, even if you look at the the last recession, it still
took a year and a half before Jobs came back. So he says, you
know, you can't expect anything until probably about 2012. For
anything to really be turned around. If it does. So have a
read through that. That'll be some good, some good homework
for you all. And please keep sending us suggestions for the
Kim Jong Il care package, as we now have an in and can actually
influence world politics by sending him DVDs, which may
actually give them a different view of the world. So far
suggestions have been of course, Team America, which he co stars
in. And Mean Girls is the most recent one, which I thought was
an interesting, interesting suggestion. So we'd love to hear
more suggestions. Somebody
suggested to me Dr. Strangelove would be ideal. That's
a very good one. But maybe, maybe something with a positive
message. Something that you'll actually get some diehard. Hey,
yard all right. Do you have anything else, John?
