This is the voice who have learned to fear. This is the
voice of terror. Again, we bring you disaster, crushing,
humiliating disaster. This is the voice of terror, a secret
aeroplane factory somewhere in England. Listen, screams of the
day can still be heard. This is the voice of Tara. Are you there
people of Britain shivering in your sellers. Listen, Operative
41 The fuse is lighted. This is the voice of Tara. Englishmen.
Do you still await your doom in your stupid, stuffy little
clubs? It will come I promise you, Operative 23 The time is
now. We strike you on the high seas, as well as on the land.
This is the voice of Tara
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's December 27 2009. Time for your
Gitmo nation media assassination episode 160. This is no agenda.
Preparing to be body scan from this day forward and coming to
you live from five and a half 1000 feet in the snow just
inside the Mariposa County Line crackpot command centre and
Gitmo nation West west northwest. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's a slightly bit
dreary. I'm John C. Dvorak. Craig Levin Buzzkill.
All right. The show has begun.
You're at? You're in the snow.
I take it. John, this is this is crazy man. The dedication we
have for this programme,
I tell you, so you're actually in your car. Yeah. So
here's the deal. So we had a beautiful drive yesterday, about
five hours up to Yosemite. And then there's really only one
place to stay in Yosemite and I don't mind giving away the
location because I'll buy a coffee if you show up. It's the
Wawona Hotel, which is it's quite famous actually. I think
it's one of
the What about the Kalani
the Kawaii maybe that's the one that we're supposed to book.
Maybe we're in the wrong hotel. The worst of Kalani.
Isn't it the Guarani? No, this is the Wawona that's the big one
was the Kawaii that was kawaii Now there were wona is huge.
Right. A church called you got you got the name right. Well,
they they recognised our credit card.
Well, I mean, what do you have a card there? It says Wawona.
Well,
wona Yeah, it's the Oh, yeah. Well, wona. Anyway, so the
Wawona hotel, it's big. You know, it's big. And, of course,
I've been to all those hotels.
Yes. So we had called ahead and said you got internet. Yeah, of
course. We've got the internet, no problem. Oh, here we go.
So we believe
travellers error number 14. Yes.
So we check in it was not it was it was a beautiful drive. Have
you ever stopped at the at the Kiwi trading post about 40 miles
outside the park?
I haven't been there for 15 years. Oh, well, I'm
sure the same guy is still there. He's been there for 21
years. This is the place that as he claims, parts of the movie,
HERBIE the lovebug were shot outside the gas pumps. And this
is a guy from New Zealand who walks around with a six shooter
sidearm. Because you know, the cops told him you might as well
do that these days. And so we didn't know so that's we tried
to get some snow chains, which he didn't heal, I'd give them to
you, but I don't have any right now. And so anyway, so we we
drive up great drive, we're in the hotel. And of course,
there's no cell phone service. I didn't expect to have that up
here. And you know, I flip on the trusty old iPhone, like no
networks available. Maybe inside the big house. I'm thinking
like, maybe, maybe, maybe there's a place I can sit there
and do it. So no, no networks available. Say hey, you guys got
internet. Yeah, we sure do. You just got to drive up to the
redwood cottages that's about five minutes down the road. And
if you sit in the parking lot outside of the meeting,
conference room, that's where you got internet.
Okay, great.
So we last night in the dark. We drove up here and sure enough,
and I did a Speed Check if they've got a megabit up and a
megabit down so they do have a mate. I mean, in fact, John the
connection sounds better here than it does between San
Francisco and and the buzzkill bunker. The connection is
outstanding today. So we're sitting in the car, we've got
the heater on, I've got the laptop on my lap. I have of
course, you know everything is battery powered, which was
always the intent of my setup. So I've got the wireless mic,
strapped to the sunvisor. I've got the slider control for
volume On my left thigh, and then on the on the middle
console, I have the I have the jingle buttons. So the only
thing I didn't have that wasn't prepared for was of course a DC
to AC converter, which I believe is traveller. Mistake number
375. Because I have one, I mean, I brought everything that I
brought my VHF radio in case we got stuck in the snow. So I
could call on the emergency aviation frequency. I mean I
everything I could think of I brought with me except for the
DC to AC converter. So, this will be a true test of the
claims that Apple makes about their laptop batteries. I've got
two hours and 16 minutes left on a full battery. Of course, I'm
doing a lot of stuff.
Yeah, we get if we get to the hour, it'd be a miracle.
It literally is snowing, is beautiful. I mean, the setting
could not be nicer. And I've got everything I need except for a
little bit. I need more power captain. I need some lithium
crystals. And the stream is working. And in the morning to
everybody. That's the situation for today's show. Episode number
160. John, who was our exec besides Mickey, who I have to
put at the top of the list for for arranging everything,
including the hotel. She's at the top of the list. Who else do
we have as executive producer on the on today's show? Well, we
have besides a gratuitous one we have Daniel Rudolph is the
executive producer. And he is from Dresden. Deutschland. Yes.
Has
he not donated before? I think he I think we have
an address tonight before and I think it was him and he gave us
two and a 42 bucks. We have it was second. Associate Executive
Producer, Steven again. Steven mocker. No,
he's back again. The guy just is he? He must have a man crush on
us. Well,
he was irked about this not and when I pronounced his name pose
mockers. I didn't get that. So you gotta get this in there.
Yeah, Pels man. He's from Iowans of Belgium. Yes. And he gave us
23456 A great number. Great number. And, Steven, thank you
very much, especially for the note. Now,
how about our friend from Dresden? How much did he
242 242.
So we have EDM by eight bucks.
And that's what happens on the prices, right? You gotta know
how to play it, everybody. Sorry, I got carried away.
So that's our executive producer. And
it's very important that you understand that this is no
bullshit position. I mean, this is this is a real, a real
credit. It's not an official show. It's in the show notes.
You can point back to it. It's in the show itself, by the way,
so you and anyone can listen to the programme. And they'll know
that you are an executive, real executive producer of an actual
piece of entertainment. Put that on your CV, it can get you gigs
in Hollywood. Hollywood won't hurt
that's going to Dallas, Hollywood, Florida. Eventually
it'll be in the Internet data Movie Database.
You know, you should be able to get it. Wait a minute. Can you
get free audio? visual stuff? They don't do radio yet? Yeah,
exactly. And we have to work on that. Ah, so anyway, John, Merry
Christmas to you, man.
Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you so much for for your beautiful gift. Oh, you liked
that? I liked it very much. You know, it's going to determine
the entire interior of our house. Everything now has to be
read.
A couple of spot pieces of spot art. You get put up somewhere
next to each other.
John gave us two beautiful pictures that he took himself.
These are all tulips I believe John? Yeah, apparently. Yes.
Yeah. So I'm not. I'm not a photographer of flowers
normally, but these are from the reason I gave to you because it
reminds you of howling because these were taken in the Holland
at the Tulip Festival, which I went to last year during my
stint at Queen's de Yes. And you know, it's one of those things
that everybody in Holland it just talks about, oh yeah, the
Tulip Festival, a tulip that you go to this thing. It's for
people out there who want to know about it. You actually
worth going to and of course everybody in Holland feels this
way too. It's actually worth going to once
Yeah. I think I went to it in 1973 Yeah, I was like cool. All
right.
Once once, but it is like it's like, I don't know, like five
football fields full of flowers.
Yeah. Basically and flowers,
flowers. There's some other flowers besides tulips. It's
mostly tulips. And if you like taking you know photos, I mean
you take just like endless pictures from all sorts of
angles with the sun beaming and and whatever, of tulips and it
gets old but Again,
is it Well, first of all, I feel bad we didn't get you a gift for
Christmas. You
get you gave me you. This is. Yeah, you should feel bad. Yes.
Scrooge, you had these things laying around for months you
were planning on bringing them out really? They're supposed to
be a housewarming gift, and then they turned it into a Christmas
gift. So I don't feel that bad. Well,
no, they weren't hanging around. That's the problem. I just had
the maid. I had the printout done on about three weeks ago.
And then I had to take him to the frame place. It took them
two weeks. It was just about last week. I got him back.
It's really appreciated. John was very sweet.
Anyway, I should put them I shouldn't have that stuff
available for sale. I do have some good hanging art. Over the
after taking photos for 30 years, you actually accumulate a
few
decent show that prints it out. I had it I
actually went up to Bert Monroy, his house, the famous Photoshop
guy who's got this huge Epson you know this this bed printer,
this monster that prints art?
Oh, it's got one of those roll things or Yeah,
it's roll, roll. So it's a roll printer. So I you know, there's
an old adage in photography that if you can't be good, do good.
You can't do stuff. That's good. Do stuff that's big. Yeah.
Didn't Ansel Adams follow that as well. So much from around it
and Ansel Adams, live up here. And you'll spend most
of his time where you are right now probably in that same
parking lot. So
on the Wi Fi, uploading his porn pictures. So
anyway, so that so I saw we went up there and I printed a few
different monster prints. And those are a couple that turns
out that the frame is the real expense.
Oh, gee, why don't you just tell me what it costs a lot.
Anyway, so we got lots of news to go over before the connection
dies here.
Yeah, actually, I'm what I wanted to do real quick. Which
one? Which one is which one's the best picture making the home
I just want to retweet this picture so everyone can see it?
It's snowing. I didn't even tweet that we're on studio
setup.
Okay, yeah, you tweet that and I'm just going to what does it
serve you so so reply V seven. No retweet we serve Nice. Well,
I do. We get from here we go. What's that? Yeah, I'm
definitely going to retweet them. Well, now that people have
Mickey Hogan dyke now, though, they'll go and check it out from
you. Maybe you'll get some new followers out of the deal. Yeah,
cool. Yeah. Have you retweeted or if you have you tweeted,
John, I just logged in.
Okay. Two minutes. Two hours. 12 minutes on the on the official
Apple battery timer. So we should be good. I mean, I'm
Yeah, sure. I mean, knock on wood.
Bend over being at a no, Jen. Stream. Calm. The no agenda
show.
Oh, in the chat room. Adam is a dick. He needs to give John his
plane for Christmas. Hmm. There you go.
Be some sort of a tax deal.
Yeah, I'd love some big thank you. Well, the studio door just
closed as you could tell.
That's pretty interesting. I haven't
done a show from the car in a long time. And to do it in this
thing live from the car. I should know I should do this
more often. Man. I love this. This is and it's snowing like
crazy outside right.
Now, sure. Wait, are you on a Wi Fi connection? open a window.
Open the window. I think the window
is quite aware as to what I'm doing here. The town is all
abuzz. Yo dude, Adam curry is up here doing a radio show from his
car.
What do you mean?
Now they're from all over the place up here. No one's really
from Yosemite.
Yosemite Sam.
And he talked with a Texas accent. Anyway,
all right, here we go.
So the news without a doubt.
And the also the distraction? Oh, yeah, it's a combination
story.
Well, hold on a second. Let me let me pull in the distraction
of the week.
I think I agree, John. It is a double story. So well, actually,
it's three stories in one so we should probably do the one over
hear nothing to see. Look at that. Do you think it could be
considered real news as well?
Yeah. We got a triple play and now
faster claims. We got a triple play. We got a triple play. That
was a miracle was
interesting. Of course we're talking about the crotch bomber.
Yeah. What's interesting, I woke up yesterday morning. And I
first found out about this because the Dutch press was
blasted. It was completely full front page, Dutch hero saves
American plane. I'm like, wow, this is big. And I'm like, wow.
So this is the whole paper. It's all about the Dutch hero, the
Dutch hero, the Dutch hero. And they're, you know, he's a hero
in America, and he needs to get a medal. And I'm like, Whoa,
what is this and this claim that oh, you know, the whole all of
American press is talking about our Dutch hero.
By the way, the Dutch hero has a photo and Facebook. His name is
Jasper whatever. And he's a 32 year old filmmaker, supposedly
from Amsterdam. He has a little company called go with the flow
productions. And he's just picture on Facebook where he's
wearing he's like in a private plane wearing a headset and a
microphone when given the thumbs up. Anybody gets to see that
picture. Jon Gruden
look like who's Jon Gruden.
He was the former coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now as
a colour commentator on Monday Night Football used to be the
coach of the Oakland Raiders. And it's just a goofy looking
guy. I suppose I see this picture this guy say Hi Jon
Gruden. He's Dutch is good in a
good Well Could be. Could be.
Anyway, that's just an aside. It has nothing to do with the
actual story which is a crock of crap. This is the most
suspicious story I have ever seen that let's just do one
thing before we start talking about this guy, the crotch
bomber. Besides the fact that all the information that came in
at first was like it had something strapped to his lair.
It was firecrackers or slacker actually he had a pillow he was
coming out of the bathroom on fire. He was in a scene on fire
his crotch was on fire there's a million different stories
I hated when they I mean if they're gonna do this at least
put out one story just get it right the first time.
Now here's the one that got me to get the plane I tracked down
the times of the plane to plane left to Amsterdam, Ron eight
came in it was gonna land in Detroit 1140 and assume it did.
So he probably got off the plane around noon. Within I would say
nine hours. And this is basically overnight because in
the morning, Oh, my. By nine in the morning, they already had
determined who He was who He was related to and that he had
contacts in with outside I did the Fort Hood shootings that
same guy in Yemen Coincidentally, he was in touch
with this guy all this came
out almost instantly. Oh, it's amazing. How did they get out?
I mean, these guys can't find anything they can find their
asses with using both hands. But but somehow they get all this
information within a tweet within a drawer I'm sorry, never
12 but it within a 24 hour period because the plan was
gonna land 1140 So it'd be levelled by before 1140 The next
day and with with all kinds of quotes from people, and if you
start doing the timestamps are like one in the morning, two in
the morning and these are like congressmen on vacation who are
all over you're the head of the intelligence committee we had
some camaraderie we knew he was talking to Yemenis
he was on the Hot list we knew about him he was on the Hot list
we were tracking this guy we knew about him
so I find that a little suspicious
well so of course the number one and
wait wait one more thing if you're investigating something
crazy like this Why do you start why does it Why do a million off
the record sources suddenly appear to give you information
oh yeah
anonymous off the record sources within Homeland Security who did
not wish to be named what kind of
Homeland Security are we talking about? Days can't even keep your
information secure don't you do the investigation and then come
out with something instead of leaking a bunch of dubious
information out left and right as though it was already
determined that you had this year was already ready to go
plan was in place.
So it's it's obvious why the Dutch paper and the telegraph
which is the the big the main paper, the big rag, they it's
well known that you know, their ties to the intelligence
community and they're basically just, they just pass on whatever
they're supposed to write, you know, whatever. They're told
they're good little foot soldiers. So it's obvious why
they they blew out this all this big hero stuff because God
forbid anyone actually start to think about this night gee, this
guy from Nigeria who was walking around Schiphol Airport for
three hours. with firecrackers in his panties, and then was
able to get on the plane with whatever his pillow is
firecrackers is see for whatever it was supposed to be. This of
course, you know is in some ways to distract from the fact that
skripal Security I mean, as far as we're all we know as Dutch as
Dutchman is that stipple was only supposed to let the drug
couriers go through they're not supposed to let the firecracker
couriers go through I mean, this is well known that drugs are
allowed to pass but no bombs. Okay. So apparently, oops. The
coffee has arrived. So apparently, he was able to get
on with some kind of explosive device which wasn't actually
explosive it was to call it correctly would be an incendiary
device, which could have just been his pyjamas for all I know.
Love. Yeah. Made in China. And you know, they would catch on
fire. So now. Anyway, so they figure out what the stuff is.
They'll release what they say. And then so that becomes another
another discrepant piece of information here. The material
is called P E, TN, which is also a vasodilator, which is used
like nitroglycerin for heart patients and it's actually
chemically it's Penta etheric, etheric call Tetra nitrate,
which is an explosive that's used in mostly in fuses. Because
it creates it has a little it has enough of an impact that it
can set off some tech for example,
right, but it's only it's like a starter kit. It doesn't actually
get you anywhere. It's just you can make
it Yes, it can explode is very high, highly explosive. But
yeah, I think you either have to have it in an enclosure like a
pipe. Yeah, or something like that. Now they have two
different pieces of information that Ken once said it was in a
condom once it was in the little baby bottle. And once it was
strapped to his leg, and once it was strapped to his crotch, and
somebody said he was injecting liquid into it. Now,
we can take a syringe on the plane.
Besides that, what is this going to do? I could find no, I looked
up this chemical. And it's interesting. There's a good
Wikipedia article about it P E, TN or penta? S ret tall Tetra
nitrate. You can look it up and read all about it. And it's kind
of interesting, but I don't see any connection to liquids where
you'd put some liquid and then the next thing you know, blow up
the plane. And why I also found a reference to this stuff saying
would take you to blow up a plane and take you like two
kilogrammes, which is a couple of pounds, or kilogrammes, which
take a couple of pounds. And then there was other mentions of
different differing amounts the whole thing seemed kind of
weird. Why didn't he just go into the bathroom? lock himself
in a blocked the back of the plane? Why do you have to be
doing it at his seat? What is the point and
why upon final approach? What's the point of that?
Well, he wanted to do it over American soil. Well,
he could have you could have done that starting at like
Maine. You know, he waited until the Gear game.
QUESTION All this is questionable. Well, we
do know of course because the reports came out immediately as
I arrived here in Winona yesterday, picked up a copy of
The Wall Street Journal of fine burdock publication so you know
that the Ministry of Truth is printing that and it's quite
obvious that now of course the full body scanners have to come
into effect that's what this all boils. This
is dead This is to sell equipment.
Yes, it is. Maybe even by GE I don't know who makes those
things. Wouldn't surprise me
but they may be owned by GE but it's not. I saw those I went
through one one out but anyway, so now so they've decided to
this is definitely a attempt to sell product. And so anyway, so
they got it so they set up all these new new all this new
stuff. We got to do new stuff we got to make people stay at stay
in their seats. We got to check them over. We got to look at
everything in their bags, we got to make their lives miserable.
They make their life miserable, Joe, they demand that we stop
and we can only stop by adding new gear. Now. Here's an
interesting thing that to me is these guys obviously aren't
doing their job to begin with. I ran into a forum June 23 2006.
Sky goes on. It's a couple of stories here. The first I'm
going to read it's got nothing to do with this particular
incident but I thought it was funny Transportation Secretary
officials grabbed Daniel Brown at Los Angeles International
Airport in 2006 dragged him off for interrogation, causing him
to miss his flight. Brian was part of a group of US Marines
all in uniform and carrying military IDs and travel orders.
But TSA officials say Brown had been placed in the agency's no
fly list earlier after agents detected gunpowder on his boots
on a previous flight. That's Browns combat boots a previous
flight was after his returned from combat in Iraq. This time,
Brown was eventually clear to catch a later flight to
Minneapolis where he's found his fellow Marines waiting for him.
Another guy goes on says gunpowder and Marines boots hard
so Oh, third guy in the same thread says I had a suitcase hit
for PE T M P E tn which is this stuff and by the way PE Tn is
the same stuff to shoot bomber tried to ignite and couldn't now
what
now P Tn is that explosive is that really
explosive that's the the
gift so but you need to combine this stuff or you can just like
it shouldn't be you know if you have it in order to get an
explosion doesn't have to be contained like in a pipe for me.
Hello. I mean a shoe is not really going to do it is it?
Well, I
guess did it or a leg? Did it? No, of
course not. So
know that but they should have stuff may have been in a condom
which cracked. That'd be a good one. So anyway, so So let me
finish this. I had a suitcase hit for PE T and some 50 flights
ago and I haven't been flagged for anything I can tell that
he's bitching about it. Anyway, wait a minute, he was fly he was
another words those little swab bullshit things that they come
in, you swab your laptop for one of the things that looks for,
because they never tell you what this thing does, right? But
obviously one of the things that can find is P E T n, so they're
already equipped to detect this stuff. So why are they changing
any of these procedures when they have the equipment already?
And they're obviously not using it correctly? Or they're not
doing something right? Why blame the passengers? Why blame you
and me that we have to suffer now to the point where now
they're saying that you're on a 90 minute flight, heck with the
with the fact that you have kids that have to get up, you can't
get out of your seat for 90 minutes or two hours you can't
get it out of your seat from an hour when it takes off to an
hour wetlands. This is just to get everybody worked and they're
going to write their congressman as well they should and then
they're going to drop a bunch of money on some other pieces of a
crib because they can't this is not allowable. And let me give
you a couple of other things you want to go to pet peeve in a
second.
You want me to do it now.
Go ahead Shawn. See the borax these airlines dipshits are just
as bad as the TSA listen to these two these are two kinds of
stories that didn't get a lot of play but they I ran into them
this happened right afterwards. Instantly because everybody knew
we had to do something immediately Of course of course
listen to this a Wall Street Journal reporter preparing to
depart Saturday from Hong Kong on a Chicago bound flight from
United Airlines in Hong Kong said the airline inform
passengers and this is a long miserable flight
yes it's what 18 hours something like
that 14 At least he said the airline and foreign passengers
wouldn't have any entertainment aboard the flight or any other
United flights and in the parents security major ah the
entertainment systems typically feature on screen locator maps
that chart the flight
path and and you can listen to the end you can listen to the
cockpit the flight deck on channel nine on the United in
flight
so they don't want anybody looking at the map and saying
I'm over
time time time to light my crotch I'm fine yeah, so let me
just let's go another one. Oh my goodness what are you gonna let
me in edgewise for one second
that's my pet peeve at the moment Oh true. One couple which
assets or names not be used for good reason said that during
their flight to Atlanta from Managua, Nicaragua, Ragusa,
Delta another asshole airline job. Delta flight attendants
notified passengers that they could not place blankets or
pillows on their laps.
Yeah, because you might be lighting your crops underneath
them.
And despite the fact that the plane utilised wireless internet
apparently bragging about it, you couldn't use your laptop
during the flight.
So okay, so why don't we all just strip naked before we get
on the plane and just walk around in the plane naked strap
yourself in and shut up slave. That's, that's what they want.
Isn't that the fight is not the end game here.
It's what it sounds like. You know, so you can't use your
laptop. Now. This will go over big. You can't use your laptop
or your lap blanket. You're gonna have to freeze your ass
off on the plane. And you can't watch anything. No entertainment
for you. John Cena for X TiVo day. Or in other words how does
the public put up with this crap? Well, this will we have to
write our Congressman Darrell out of office if they don't end
this now, John.
The reason why is because of the fluoride and the lithium ion in
the water. That's why That's why we put up with this crap. We're
all dumbed down. We're like, hey, oh, that's okay. I'm sure
we can play cards. Oh, I hope the cards aren't too sharp
because you knew I could cut someone's throat with that.
Well, they might be taken away from me. That's that's what's
going on. I
do that goofball boys.
All these, well, how about some dominoes, oh, you might be able
to throw the Domino and hit hit the flight attendant in the head
oh, can use those.
And by the way, insofar as Al Qaeda is concerned that you
know, I you know, this
doesn't mean that sake terrorist group that doesn't actually
exist yeah
that well I'll tell you they do have a there's something that to
that of course there's some group that does coordinate sees
but they all if those if that group quote unquote, whatever,
whatever form that they're in they excuse me they always do
simultaneous things. They do like six things at once, you
know, they blow up five hotels, or they bought six cars. I mean,
it's all you know, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang all over the
place to cause confusion like they did in Spain when they hit
all those trains at once. Yeah, it's not that one lone guy
catching his dick on fire.
No. So there's more to come. Is that what you're saying? No, no,
that would have already happened.
Within a few hours of each other. Right. Right. Right. So
this guy had no connection anything it was a psycho?
Well, first of all, the al Qaeda, of course, was if it ever
existed other than what it what it stands for the database,
which was a CIA database of radicals that were funded by the
CIA in Afghanistan against the Russians, you know, so if it
ever did really exist, you know, then the origin by the way,
notice the Yemen the Yemeni connection there Well, yeah, the
Yemen thing that came up, right, so coincidental. Oh, that's so
nice, isn't it? Yeah, of course your
attack Yemen. I mean, it's obviously there's something in
Yemen, we got to get to either the new oil fields Hello. Yeah,
that would be a nice new oil or something. So we got Yemen
sorted immediately Yemen angle out of the blue. By the way,
this just began recently. If you do we pointed out a couple of
weeks ago, we first noticed it. You're gonna send a few
consultants in the Yemen. Next thing you know, just happens and
this guy is hooked up to Yemen that the Fort Hood thing
Whatever happened to that guy, by the way, Oh, who
cares for you? He was awake and talking. Remember they had they
had him talking about stuff doing now she knows media
doesn't give a crap. No one cares.
But he had Yemen, Yemen, Yemen, Yemen. So now we got this guy,
this bonehead. And then of course, his dad's a banker,
which makes it funnier. So I got to read your son.
I didn't know that part that his dad was a banker.
Yes, that's a major Nigerian banker.
I've got an email from his dad. Got some money stashed away?
Yeah, he's got some I think I sent him some dough. Wait a
minute. I can be I can have I have links to al Qaeda now. Oh,
my gosh. But before you do that, Jacqueline, let me just talk for
one second about these, these body scanners and what the what
the actual and then I had this conversation last night, who of
course has nothing to hide. Always remember, she has nothing
to hide. She doesn't care. So these full body scanners what
they do is they're they're making a biometric profile of
you. So it's not just a picture of you naked which the guys are
passing around at TSA because you know, they are there's you
know, there's some douchebag sitting there in the back and
the talk in the headsets like that guy's got a huge cock. Let
him through. He's good. Nothing else to see here. Oh, you know
they do that. Oh, of course. John, you and I would we'd be
sent everybody would you
got to get bored is a boring job. You sitting there for eight
hours. Holy crap, this guy. This guy's got a knee on it. Look.
We should name that thing. Look at her implants, oh my goodness,
get those four over for secondary, give those a little
pat down. Those are good. So the biometric profile is what this
is really about. This is a very it's almost like a fingerprint.
So what this has always been my my pet peeve of these biometric
scanners is it's like them saying Oh, you want to fly we
need your fingerprint. There's no difference. It's like taking
your DNA. And this biometric profile can be seen essentially
from a satellite from outer space. So they could if they
want to track you, now, there is no immediate connection between
you and and the biometric profile your your identity.
Unless of course you happen to have your passport, or your REAL
ID driver's licence or even your bus card on you or your credit
card because the RFID readers which I'm sure are in the booth
while you're standing there. They connect your your actual
identity to your biometric profile. This is worse than
licence plate tracking. And no one's ever talking about it. No
one ever reports. Well, by the way, we're all the Silicon
Valley Tech reporters. Yeah, I'm looking at you, John. What are
these things actually do what is this biometric profiling about
what it's not just to look through your clothes, it's
actually making a biometric picture of you. Can we get a
little more detail on this stuff?
Yeah, no problem any minute. So I want to mention that what
you're talking about that for people worried about what he
just said, which is the fact that they're going to be looking
at your your RFID tags go to Kennett, KY kn a ki.com and pick
yourself up one of his wallets.
One of the RFID Faraday cage wallets, a Faraday
cage Walter that expensive and they're actually quite nice. And
he has one for passports which I use myself. Yeah, I gotta get
one of those and you put your passport in there and all the
cards that you've gotten any RFID stuff is blocked now won't
block the big giant RFID those big tags that you use the open
doors because I've tested it it can if you push it up against
the thing it can read it through there but generally speaking it
won't get let anybody from more than you know one millimetre
away read anything in the wallet and one more thing before data
safe wallets before we
drift away from the TSA and they're what they now called
checkpoints. A good checkpoint guys
that get before we drift to I also have another thing to talk
talk. Let me let me just hit this real quick. I know we're
all excited calm down. Producer Jack Hoffman Hawk said, Hey,
Adam, you know you should do a weekly feature about the TSA
because they're so proud on their website. They report
exactly what they've done each week and for the week of the
14th through the 21st the TSA reports 13 passengers were
arrested after investigations of suspicious behaviour or
fraudulent travel documents ie passport and a Faraday cage 17
firearms were found at checkpoints now. Of course,
there's no actual you know, that could be toy guns for all i for
all i know, you know, could that have been replicas could have
been antiques, you know, somehow I doubt that if someone with a
gun showed up at TSA, that was actually intending some malice
that that wouldn't have been front page news, but okay. 17
firearms, one instance of artfully concealed prohibited
items at checkpoints
and I'm not supposed to be looking for that. I love
the artfully concealed sounds like free Harlow books.com. To
me. Yeah, free Holla books.com And then 18 incidents that
involve a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile
area breach going guys, but we didn't sniff the gunpowder.
Yeah, good work. So that reminds me of the I was something that
was a processor I'd lost it. Nevermind.
I'm sorry, man.
What was the beginning? What was the first thing you mentioned
about remember your age?
was the first thing that was on that list? 13 past reminds me
about you know, if you want to play a practical joke on
somebody, yeah, at a
TSA checkpoint, which is always a good idea. I'm just
saying if you wanted to play a practical joke at some place for
practical joke, this is a place you could do this. If you're a
fraternity guy, you're going to really think this is a great
idea. Yeah. He gets I think we did said this before on the show
because I still think is one of the great gags first
let me get really high so I can do this right away. So
So first you got to he has to be a friend of yours. Let's always
read in big you know, you guys especially guys pack those big
giant books.
Oh yeah, I know a couple of those.
You take us you get some go to the some chemical supply any
place where you get lead foil, get a big piece of lead foil
about one foot by one foot and then cut out the outline of a
revolver.
This is a great gag lead foil
and stick it in the book. And you know they may or may not
find it before they pack the book. But whatever the case is,
I guarantee is very funny. They would
they would the alarms would go off as this person went through
things right? You think? Okay, some advice as given on no
agenda, not actually to be tried out? Not really a good idea if
you value your freedom.
So let's just go over something merely This is something I
decided to read about this whole incident and instead of reading
about it in the American press, the European press. I decided to
read it in the Nigerian PRI Yes,
a fine thing to do, John, very smart. If I had had any internet
connectivity, I would have done the same.
All right. So there's a whole bunch of stuff here and this but
here's what's interesting. And this you won't hear on your
regular news, ladies and gentlemen, which is why we keep
begging for money. The timing of the attempted attack could be
significant was eight years ago this week that a similar
attempted attack was launched by a British member of al Qaeda who
tried to blow up a flight from Paris to Miami by igniting
explosives in the chute same stuff by the way, then, of
course eight years is the cycle. This fresh attempt comes on the
same day that Taliban released a video of the US soldiers holding
Captain back Afghanistan. Did you know that? No, I did not the
Taliban just released a video you
didn't see that? Yeah, he's been captured since June or July I
believe right
and they were At least a video but this is bigger news so that
no one's looking at the video. But this is the part that you're
not going to read locally. In less than 24 hours after this
incidents. American security forces were set to have storm
some northern Nigerian cities like Kano, Katsina can Duna.
Joe's jamfrog. And my good glory Wait
a minute, we stormed Nigerian cities
123456 of them. Insert title related outfit.
Oh, hold on a second. Don't
look over here. Nothing to see. Look at that.
It's just, it's just unbelievable. And, you know,
there's one other little ditty that just happened, John, at the
same moment, coincidentally, and I have to give props to the
Murdoch publication Wall Street Journal. For putting two the two
stories on the same page. In a quick little flurry votes 60 to
39. I believe, of course, you can figure out who the 60 word
who the 39 were? Yes, our government decided to remove all
spending limits for the national debt, as well as remove all
limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Essentially, now
the government can be on the hook to bail them out for up to
two or $300 billion, currently at about 60 each. While the CEOs
packages have also been negotiated $6 million for each
CEO, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and some other huge bonuses. So
this all happened kind of under the same cover of the crotch
bomber, which is what will dominate the news and all I
mean, the actual spending limit the spending limit mean this is
how much money we've all agreed we should spend that just Oh,
forget it. Let's just remove that. We'll just change that.
That's no problem. We should be able to spend more No, no, no
big by the way. It's for money we've already spent. Exactly.
And we invaded three was it three cities in Nigeria? Six,
six cities are these cities John Are these like villages? I
mean, they're probably it says cities in this in this
newspaper. They don't know that the city is up for
interpretation. Someone's got to look up a couple go online. Look
up Cano que no. And Katsina. Those would be two of them. And
you can you know, extrapolate from that they're probably small
towns, I'm guessing. According to this article in the Sun News
online.com, which is a Nigerian publication, security force
sources claims the CIA is apparently in Nigeria and not
helping us much with those Nigerian scams, by the way.
Yeah, believes that the radical Islamist sects in these cities
have been infiltrated by al Qaeda. But another security
source claims that the CIA has been operating in several cities
in the north since July, when the Boko Haram Islamic sect had
a confrontation with the police and the army. So all hell's
breaking loose in Nigeria. Wait a minute.
We have bases over there in Nigeria. Well, what I mean, with
these troops are CIA that did these invasions. I mean, this is
a court, you know, we can't get so we approved 40,000 new troops
to Afghanistan, which will take six months to get 40,000 guys
over there. Meanwhile, within one second of the crotch bomber,
the crotch bombers attack, were able to coordinate six cities to
be invaded. This is not something that's not a spur of
the moment call from the White House. Like hey, you know what,
let's go get those Nigerians now. Go go go. This was set up.
This is more
this Yemenis thing going on to
it's a it's a quintuple whammy is the way I see it John, it's
more than just the new security systems it's more than just the
out and out removal of all freedom sit down slave don't you
can get your carry on luggage. Next will be no carry on
luggage. I guarantee you that no using your laptop that you can't
have a blanket even if you're cold. What you're pregnant. I
don't give a crap. I don't care about you slave Shut up. And
then we're invading cities in Nigeria. We've we now we have
almost carte blanche for Yemen because of course this guy was
from
Xiamen. Now he was in contact with that horrible guy in the
game. And yeah, he will. Well, same thing.
So this is like all the end. And on the under the cover of night,
we've raised our constitutional limits on national debt. And
we've effectively given a complete carte blanche to all
the mortgage related companies, because Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac backup almost every single mortgage in the United States.
So we'll be paying for all of these bogus mortgages, you watch
the mortgage market now heat up all of a sudden, and all of that
go onto the books of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which we are
directly responsible for we own these companies that 85% owned
by the United States taxpayer. So all of this happens in the
span of not even 36 hours. And what you're going to See for the
next two weeks, probably up until something horrid someone
blows their fingers off a New Year's Eve, you're going to see
nothing on the news except the crotch bomber. And I hope they
call him the crotch bomber, because that makes it even that
more more funny. It's like Balloon Boy.
And I think that meme is set already as crutch bomb. That's
all
you're going to see is crotch bomber. This crotch bomber that
you'll hear a little bit about the you know, the security
systems. No. And you know, it's very important we have to get
new systems in place. Meanwhile, all this other crap is you won't
hear about this night these Nigerian invasions. I guarantee
you won't read about it anywhere. Thank you, John, for
being so smart as to use a web browser. You know, this is what
any publication could do. But they don't we hear it no agenda
do we take
Funny thing is about the whole crotch bomber, incidentally,
besides the fact that it was it was does all this discrepant
information. I'm looking at some other stuff about you know, the
security transportation. Well, let's go back to the equipment.
There's that thesis. If it's to buy these expensive scanners,
which I vent through one, by the way, I've been through one,
they're terrible. And here's the joke of it. I've said this
static though before I'm gonna say it again, you don't to honk
the horn, I go to San Francisco. So you can either go to the over
there, or you're gonna get patted down or I can go through
the device. So I go into the vise, hold your arms up. Yeah.
Above your head above your head, the thing goes around and you
get out and they pat you down anyway, just to let you know
what they're doing. They look to see what they can find on yet
with the thing. And they say and the guy just patch it down Zaha,
there is a comb back here, just like it said, they're just doing
it to confirm what
they sent. It worked. The system worked. We get patted
down, screw it, just go get patted down. So don't go through
that thing is embarrassing. Well, sometimes you can't avoid
it. Well, anyway, the point I was trying to make, I'm
stumbling around here, let's get back to it. You would be selling
these things, but they're not gonna sell them in all the
airports around the world. Now it's only for the American
market.
Oh, but don't worry. Don't worry, though. They're coming
into Gitmo nation lowlands because these are the guys that
screwed it up. They let this crotch guy on the plane. So
they're gonna they
only have a Jarius where he got on this first plane, they're
never going to do anything under
the wind around Schiphol Airport for three hours and then went
through another security checkpoint.
And we know that for a fact or was it a connection? Because
when I fly into No, no,
no, no, no, before you get on the plane at Schiphol Airport at
the gate is where they have another another metal detector,
an x ray machine at the gate itself. So yes, with and they
confirm this. So I'm gonna have to believe that they that he
could not be roaming around the tax free area, and then not go
through some sort of checkpoints. So we had to go
through that. But it wasn't a bomb sniff it's a very
unsophisticated checkpoint. It's just a metal detector, an x ray
machine. And these people, I mean, God bless him. I you know,
I'm well known in Holland and I'm always joking and we're
ended this just boneheads, they're just people who just
they're working 25 hours a week, you know, they got other shit to
do. They don't care. Everyone knows these are the same people
who used to do airport security before the TSA and homeland
security. It's the same people hired the same people back for
twice the money. You know, why?
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. That's no for jobs.
So what I was leading up to John is that this is the type of
reporting that you don't get on mainstream media. And I
guarantee you that even if you turn on NPR, PBS, you're gonna
get everything about the crotch bomber, and nothing about the
raising of the constitutionally determined federal spending
limit. Or about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac that is that was
done covertly. And in order to continue in order for me to get
a hotel that has Wi Fi in the hotel room itself. Good luck.
Yeah. I need you to help us out and support us. And there's only
one way that we generate any kind of revenue on this
programme and it's through donations from our listeners
slash producers today. If you've been listening since the
beginning then you heard are our executive producers right up
front, they donated the most money this week, which is highly
appreciated, but it's even those $5 donations that come in the
ones that are on subscription so we have a base so we can we at
least know we got like 500 bucks a week. Is that Is that about it
for the $5 donations? Am I just guessing
we haven't gotten to 500 bucks a week from the $5 donations.
So even if you're making a larger donation, please consider
signing up for a $5 a month as well. You know, you're
essentially replacing one trip to Starbucks at Starbucks if
that or a parking metre. Yeah, in San Francisco. God stands
for 25 cents for five minutes. I'm sorry. I know I know. It's
tiny. Put the last quarter in the first five minutes are over.
The first one at least. The first one is over. Yeah, you're
absolutely right. So the way you do that is very simple. We set
it up through Pay Pal, we wish we had a different system, but
it works the best so far, you can go to no agenda show.com and
click on the link on the right, or go to divorce tech.org/in A
sign up for one of our plans, our $5 a month, that's really
those are really important to us. Or, you know, we'd be happy
to receive more. And I think that after, we'll be following
these stories and just do a comparison do an A B comparison.
Flip on? What is it meet the press, turn on any any news
programme today, all the Sunday shows you see what they're
talking about. They're gonna be talking about new security
machines and the crotch bomber, they will not be talking about
invasions in Nigeria, they will not be talking about removing
constitutionally installed limits on federal spending, or
the removal of caps on what Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who
secure all mortgages in the United States that they've been
removed, along with some nice tidy little bonuses for the
federal workers who are the CEOs of those companies, or,
more importantly, taking the entertainment off them for Hong
Kong flight and united as bastard. At the
end of the day, it's more important that we have
entertainment. You're right. So
let's go over some of the people that gave us some money. I have
a charley horse. Okay. Would being in that car I would
imagine once you get away right it was actually not that much
because it's Christmas. It was Christmas. So we got you know,
we got tops
getting warm. It's
we got Oh, Daniel Rudolph Dresden Deutschland 242. He's
one of our He's the executive producer and Steven powers
mocker in Belgium to 3456. Also Aaron Tunstall Clement, from
Aaron Tunstall from Clementon, New Jersey,
Jersey in the house, I was waiting for some jersey to show
up 10101 Yeah, we're smart that way in Jersey 10101 a palindrome
and then we had a bunch of $50 contributors and I'll just run
down I'm Oliver Keesler or Keesler from Kern Deutschland,
also known as Cologne Germany came
early on we had colon as we routed colon.
Beautiful town by the way, if anybody is travelling, and you'd
get to stop in Cologne Cola, do it.
It's not like Frankfurt. Okay, sorry. It's not like Frankfurt,
but
no, no, it's not like Frankfurt or it's this beautiful town.
Barry Wilson it's got a great cathedral skeptism there's all
those there was huge bombed the ground but they did but instead
the Allied bombers use it as a landmark. So it never got
bombed. You get to see one. Go off the go. John, hold on a
second. Generals. I think it's Romanesque. Your break.
John, hold on one second. You were breaking up there for a
second. And I have a good connection. We're still
streaming. Okay. Try to get Hello, beginner. No, you aren't
your regular. Hello? But that's you. John. Oh, John. Oh, Hulu's.
Yeah. Oh, hold on.
No, I'm getting timeouts everywhere. Here. Hold on a
second. Ooh, boy. Are you still there?
Yeah. Can you hear me?
I can hear you. Yeah, you were breaking up a little bit. You
know what's I think? Yeah.
What your average is so low that the radios not getting enough
juice.
No, that's not it. That's not it. Okay. I think we're back.
You know what happened? A car pulled up right in front of the
the building that has the Wi Fi and I think we got some bad
deflection.
Well, you want to move your car?
No. Oh, shit. Don't park there. Don't Oh, jesus bastard. Don't
park there. You still there, John. Yeah, okay. Go through the
take. Pick it up from 8am. Again,
check that sheet before. That's okay.
It'll pick it up. It's gotten busy
boss guy. It's a Wilson. New South.
Now. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Just kidding. Yeah, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna have to move the car. Okay, hold on a second. You just
stay with me.
Oh, I'm making it. Yeah, watch this. You should have been
closer to begin with.
No, this is a good spot. Hold on. Nikki's gonna hold the
studio. All right. You still there jar.
Jelly pushing it? Yeah,
yeah, hold on a second. I just gotta move it to a different
location. Yeah, well, now we're actually driving. There's rocks.
Yeah, I'm gonna park it behind this guy over here. Hold on. You
still hear
me, John. Yeah, I can hear you.
Okay. Yeah, let me Oh, what's this douchebag doing here? Well,
I gotta I gotta roll that around. Hold on.
I'm trying. I'm gonna try Another classic from the no
agenda show.
Oh, I second if I turn it around right here and I put it right in
front of this building here we may be okay. Yeah, hold on. We
don't have quite the view that we had before but
they were parked for the view.
Let me just back it up a little bit. This will be better I think
that we dropped down to sub quality. Well, that's just I'm
getting you fine. No. Okay, well then. Alright, so park lights
off. Thank you.
While he's driving around, I mentioned the other name.
Okay, hit me with the names we've got to know that the
connection is back.
Barry Wilson New South Wales Coffs Harbour as a matter of
fact, these are all $50 donors. Also we have a couple of our
knights came in again this month in OKC, defensive tactics and
DUI dash help.com Thomas Penton in Springfield, Oregon, Chris
Engler who gives every so often and he's in Milton, Ontario. And
finally from Edmonton, Alberta find little town, Christopher
group G ri E. P. And he makes that sends a call out to Adam
saying isn't it great that my last name is the Dutch word for
flu?
Yeah, we're just about to say that. That, of course is the
sounding like grip. As we would say in English, three GRI EP is
indeed the Dutch word for flu. Yes. Great. How much did he give
us? These are all 50. Great. Let me give you some flu back.
So that's it for this week.
That's it. Yeah, that's it. That's not very good. John,
was because Christmas took a day out of the whole thing. And that
was the end of it. Well, that's not that's not good, dude. Now
we'll do better next. Before next Thursday. I'm sure of it.
Please, I hope this was I wish that you know, I'm making sure
to videotape that but she was too busy holding the studio
together. That was funny. Just driving from one spot to the
other because also the other is like coffee break everyone
showed up here. And you could literally see the car roll up
and I'd see the Wi Fi signal decrease. So now I'm actually in
front of this building and people like what's he doing
talking?
What is this guy doing? He's still in porn. Yeah. All right.
So let's see. I got a couple of clips that I send you this but
yeah, good. What you got going here? Well, what do you have
there on the list?
I've got Are you mad? British ambassador? civility.
Okay, that was a British play that British and but there's
another we
have to say differently. I have to say I'll take British
ambassador for 300 Adam so
the British ambassador clip I this is not this is the inquiry
on Iraq apparently C span ran out of material because everyone
Congress took off on vacation except the one or two guys
sticking around to to be the mouthpieces for the crotch
bomber. But essentially, I was listening to these this inquiry
which is extremely dull, but I picked up just one little tidbit
just in this one clip. And I want to I want to just highlight
it for people so they know that this may be happening. Play the
British ambassador This is a master to until 2003 from the UK
to the US.
So the window they will give to operating was so small wasn't a
window. That is extremely good question. I will adorn London.
After Bush announced shortly before Tony Blair's visit to
Camp David on the seventh of September 2002. I said as in a
briefing telegram. The game trick can't find in the
archives, somebody I pencilled existed. I said, I said in a
briefing diagram that, in principle, the British American
sides agreed that we should exhaust the UN processes.
Why it's okay. All right. Now what the interesting thing about
this wasn't what he said. But it was that a side comment where he
says in a briefing Telegram, which I couldn't find in the
archives, but I know exists, apparently was in the archives,
and it's disappeared with God knows what else. I think that
the archives of all the both the US for England and everyplace
else are being ransacked, probably as we speak. So we
won't have any of this any of this information, except for the
few guys that make these 10 to do this kind of testimony. And
you know, they could deny that I don't know there's nothing in
here.
Well, of course. I mean, but this is. I mean, it was funny. I
guess a couple of weeks ago, 20 million emails from the Bush
administration showed up all of a sudden, do you recall that the
Bush administration had an off site email system they used and
the guy who maintained it had an unfortunate accident in his
private plane? Yeah, remember we we covered that never heard
about that guy again either. No. New icing incident Whoa. Oh,
yeah. Now it's Yeah. So I think stuff got really easy when it
when it all turned digital, you know because it used to be you
know, you can't just carry out archives from from, you know,
eight years of an administration or 20 years of the UN you know,
that's that's too many boxes that's heavier than gold. So now
digital is just like oops RM star. Ooh, sorry. I didn't mean
to do that didn't mean to hurt you.
So what are the clips? I got there? He got the
Are you mad sounds kind of goes that just like a little
highlight jingle thingy there that. Are you mad? Are you mad?
wild goose chase. He is suggesting it's ridiculous to
put a stop to this. Okay, John, you're speaking, you're doing
production. Instead of wasting your time doing that, once you
send everybody who's donated money in email. That will be
more fun.
I'm going to do that. So now what else is on there? Oh,
here's what they get. They there's I saw a Clorox ad, which
had more promotion for h1 in one. And also they slipped in a
flu vaccine kind of get yourself a shot. Me Well, they never
mentioned Clorox in this ad. This is the advertisement one
you'll see an h1 No, I think. And they play the whole thing.
And it's this woman using different Clorox products to
scrub down everything. I'm surprised she's not squirting
the baby with this stuff. Don't try this
at home when it comes to fighting flu viruses like 2009
h1 in one. There are several steps you can take. Wash your
hands and get your flu shot. Regularly disinfect surfaces to
reduce the spread of germs. And perhaps the most important step
of all, talk to your friends about doing the same. Oh yeah.
Instead of spreading flu viruses like 2009 h1 in one month help
spread protection.
Hey, John, I need to talk
to you. So when did h1 anyone become a brand name? Dude,
it's what do you mean? It's a perfect brand name. It's what's
probably the most recognised brand in the world right now. It
should get an award for being the best brand. You know, Lysol
is doing the same thing. And if you ever have listened to no
agenda on the MVNO site, which has contextual advertising
systems built in, it actually starts off with a pre roll of
Lysol because they go through the show notes and they see h1
and one links and swine flu and Bada bing, you know, we get
these all these targeted ads for Lysol. I mean, this is this is
this is a very typical part of the whole programme. Everyone's
jumping on board. And by the way, anyone who has any kind of
organic flu, anti flu, antiviral, you know, herbicide
or anything but medication who's advertising that on the web,
they're being pulled down by the FDA, the FDA shames them the FDA
sends them threatening letters, you know, so if you just have
like vitamin D and you say you know, vitamin D can actually
build up your immune against the influenza like symptoms, the FDA
will have you take it down, but it's okay you know, to for Lysol
and Clorox, Clorox to advertise using the med who knows maybe
they've licenced it I wouldn't surprise me if they if you can
licence h one n one from the CDC wouldn't surprise me at all an
advertising vehicle. Sure,
why not? Why not? There was there was something I wanted to
mention. As we are at one hour and five minute battery time
left, I have to say, Apple not too bad. And I'm I'm processing
it 90% Because of the stream and because of the recording and the
Skype connection. So so far, so good.
Okay, so I got one more clip,
I believe. All right. Well, you don't you don't have any more
clips. civility? Yes, you do.
So this, this was a this is a meeting they had a bunch of
these guys are talking are like the Chief of Staff's of various
governors and just a bunch of second layer guys that you don't
even know never heard of. And but this commentary just irked
the crap out of me because it's so bogus, but I want you to just
play it and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I actually think I think civility is an issue. I do think
that we're less civil civil society as a whole. I mean,
anybody on the media side, like wait a
minute, where's this from?
This is from a roundtable discussion about how you know
various various offices in other words, how do they operate? You
know, how does it what is the head of chief of staff do and
how's things organised and and then what's what's changing and
what trends do you see this kind of boat, like
an off site? It's like an all government government. Oh, but
it's but I think it's open for people to listen in and it's
just bull. But I listen to this crap and I'm going to ski this
is Though this is nonsense but play play the thing they've
talked
about affinity and change have gone
downhill because of bloggers.
go let's go let's listen to you
know what it reminds you reminds me of what we do to make the
show work which is, you know people in the face that was the
cue for you to hit the
Oh, you mean like our formula, the one that is so
breathtakingly simple?
Our formula is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
tally out. Hell yeah. And we do it while driving our cars with
our hands tied behind our back.
Okay, so play this clip.
I actually think I think civility is an issue. I do think
that we're less Seville civil society as a whole. I mean,
anybody on the media side, the kind of logs you're now getting,
you would have gotten 20 years ago so there were no blogs here
for some reason were more Wiseguy in your face society and
I think some of that spills over into politics.
Alan, I have to I have to at least on a slightly upbeat on. I
agree that there's I agree that the Civility issue in the years
that we were up there going back to Hubert Humphrey and George
McGovern and Obama changed dramatically. But I will never,
never forget one night, very late, we'd finished the budget.
One o'clock, two o'clock.
We actually worked overtime in the morning.
Nobody was around, and then going down those escalators to
go down to take the tram back over to the to the Dirksen
office building. And there were these two senators in front of
me. Both elderly senators, both having trouble walking. One was
helping the other. And it was Jesse Helms and claim one pal,
helping them get on the trail that still sticks in my mind as
the type of Senate that we used to have. I doubt if I would find
that today, John.
Oh, yeah, we'd be kicking him.
That's right. Hey, y'all, man.
Our formula is this, we go out with people in the mouth.
You know, these guys are they are they they think they're
gods.
They're so full of themselves versus so much bullshit. Because
back in the 1860s, they used to throw shit at each other in
Congress, which is what we shouldn't be doing. And he used
to be on the stage in Broadway and they've been doing this and
there's lots of documentation for this. Literally the the idea
of throwing tomatoes at the actors was very common in the
1800s people would come in with bushel baskets full of rotten
fruit, eggs and tomatoes. And if they didn't like the
performance, they'd start throwing this stuff and that's
where they had to bring a screen down you know have some sort of
gauze to keep the guys from getting killed. Then what are
you talking about civility today?
Yeah, these guys should be happy that we're only doing this on
blogs and on podcasts that should be happy because we
shouldn't be punching him in the mouth. That's what
was deceptive free speech zone.
Yeah, lock me up in the free speech zone as predicted by
George Orwell in 1984.
So I find it extremely offensive to listen to these roles fast
going on and on about air you know bloggers
no civility they just wise guys. I tell you that just those
Korean Devora they're wise guys. They don't help old ladies
across the street like I did when I was a boy.
Anyway, cab was my last clip as well. I had just not dude, you
know, except for the
well there is something interesting. That's happened
project bomber, there is something very interesting. And
I'm going to try and tie this all together for you. You'll,
you'll recall the Goldstone report by the United Nations. We
talked about on the show and it didn't get a lot of play in
mainstream media. Go figure. The Goldstone Report was the report
about the 22 day war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza
Strip, which of course took place just about a year ago. And
the Goldstone Report summed up an inordinate amount of
tremendous human rights violations, violations of the
Geneva Convention, and any others for excessive use of
force targeting civilians using civilians as human shields,
using phosphor bombs over civilian areas. And of course,
ever since that 22 Day War. The entire area has had no water,
it's been blockaded, so people are dying, besides the fact that
they were treated severely completely inhumanely on both
sides, by the way. But of course, if you look at what the
IDF the Israeli diff As forces have and what the what Hamas
has, as it comes to hardware, I think we can say there's no
contest. So the Goldstone Report was denounced by two countries
who are members of the United Nations. You can guess which
ones that would be Israel and the United States. How, however,
in God bless him in Gitmo nation East in the United Kingdom, a
fine upstanding citizen took out an arrest warrant, which because
the way the laws work, that can actually happen without
government intervention, of course, that will change in the
next month to arrest the Israeli Foreign Minister, Tzipi Livni if
she should set foot foot on British soil, and so of course,
she cancelled her visit to the United Kingdom because, you
know, that would mean a pretty much one way ticket to the Hague
to the International Criminal Court. Now, while this is taking
place, of course, the work has not stopped in with the
settlements on the I guess that's the is that the the the
the West Bank?
I'm not sure where they are. And the last track, but it probably
is,
well, Benjamin Netanyahu, has now called every single
ambassador, Consul General around the world. Every single
one of Israel's ambassadors and consul generals has called them
back to Jerusalem. And they are to be there no later than
December 28. They're recalling all of their diplomats because
they are deathly afraid that this is going to propagate
throughout the fast let's call it civilised world. And, and
they'll start arresting these guys. Now, this is bad news.
Because even Obama bless him. President Obama said, hey, you
know, could you guys just stop that shit for a little while?
Please? Could you please stop kicking people out of their
homes? Could you please stop the blockade? Can we like really
work on a solution here? a two state solution which is what
apparently everybody wants. They Netanyahu just refuses to do
that. And now he's recalled all every single one of his words
you call them they're not politicians. They're
on celebs day ambassadors.
So they're all they've all been called back. And of course, this
could mean that maybe they're they're ready for the final
solution, which is something that's being mumbled about here
and there.
Leave me final solution.
Get rid of all of them. Get rid of all watch up all
Palestinians. Wipe it out. Wipe it out. It's very possible.
Oh, horse crap. Okay.
Well, you tell me why else they're doing all this charm.
But like you said, there's a vibe better? No, I hadn't
looking for evidence that they're doing it.
Have the recall? Oh, it's very simple. No, I'll tell you
there's the way they do it is. They say oh, we have a big
meeting. Come on back to the big meeting. That's never happened.
I can find you a link.
I'm looking at one link here on the conservative underground.
Israel's ambassadors and consuls general serving throughout the
world will discuss broad diplomatic issues.
That's a recall dude. That's what I that's a recall. That's
how I dissect it. Oh, yeah, we've got a little conference on
the 28th of December, please. It's a recall they're all been
called back. And this Goldstone Report has gotten legs in in
most of the world and people are saying this is not okay. What
happened down there? Operation Cast Lead Nice. Killed 1400
civilians 10s of 1000s of homeless 400,000 without water.
Because they sent a couple of firecrackers over over the
border and just
called them firecrackers. They were rockets from a rocket
launcher. Yeah.
And they land in the room like that unless
you were trying to propagandise the audience. firecracker is a
firecracker. A rocket is a rocket.
Okay? But when Okay, you're right, a firecracker rocket.
Because they don't do anything. They don't explode. They land
and they stick in the ground. I've never seen that they they
punch a hole through a roof. There's you got to look at it
from both sides, John. Yeah, well, why
are they sending these rockets over? Because they have
no they get no access to the food to water. They closed off
all of their supply tunnels. And people are starving. Like hey,
give me a break. Take a rocket I'm not trying to propagandise
Anybody
the barrier where they were their cut off is not where the
rockets were coming from? Well, I don't know
about that. Where the rockets coming from then
they were coming from the north. It was from the Syrian area.
Yeah, you're right. Let's just nuke the whole desert there.
Let's get rid of everybody. Sick and tired of it. Anyway, be on
the lookout for those guys all all going back and not not
returning to their posts. I think we should keep our eye on
that for sure.
coin to Al Jazeera. Hamas has sent 12,000 rockets over which
is hardly one or two. And I would assume one of them blew
up. 12,000 seems like a big number.
It's funny, though. I've
never again, according to AlJazeera, this information was
left out of this Goldstone Report. It's a lopsided report,
obviously. And I don't know why the Israelis it's not
true. That's not true. Because I read the report. That's
absolutely 12,000 missiles. No, it only talks about it doesn't
talk about the lead up. It only talks about what happened during
those 22 days.
Well, I think you should sit down and read the report.
I've read the report. You have Yes, I do. I this is what I do.
What is the report said it's so interesting
talk. We're using children as human as human shields, using
phosphorus bombs over civilian areas. We
know that phosphorus bombs are an issue. I agree with that. But
I don't know what minor issue. No, it's a big thing. It's a big
deal. It shouldn't be using phosphorus and you
see all the IDF wearing T shirts, you know, like with
horrible slogans on them. Alright, alright, nevermind. I'm
sorry. I clearly you don't care.
No, I do care. I'm looking at this material now. And there's
definitely something has to be done. There is some inequity,
that's for sure. And maybe I know that they blockade these
guys and they have to put tunnels down to get food and
they bombed the tunnels. The tunnels are now closed. They're
starving, they've got no food, they've got no water. You know,
they continue to kick people out of their homes. Come on. This is
you know, it's funny because Miki actually had a good point.
She said, You know, this thread has been going on for 100 years
and on 100 140
No more NAT more not virgin. It's been going on forever. That
whole area is ridiculous.
Well, it's not forever, because it's only been there since you
know the real problems of all even before
it was there. There's there it was conflicted.
And what's going on what's going on? Is there anything of any
value there besides holy spots? Is there any oil or diamonds or
gold? Oil? Well, maybe that's why no one really cares. It's
just people I fuck him. It's just people. There's no actual
minerals to be to be gotten there. It's farmland.
Yay.
And then a something pointed out by one of our producers separ
Aman. I think his name is he sent us a YouTube video which
I'll put in the show notes. It's from a news interview. About a
new pill John called. Lor Kaisar in Lor ca s e. R I N. And it is
finally here. It's the magic pill, the pill that will help
you lose weight forever.
Every time they do one of these pills had turned they turn out
to be deadly. Oh, yeah. Would you like the
blue pill? Or do you like the red pill? Now usually, and it's
funny because when you watch the interview the guy the CEO of the
company, he's fat.
No way. Yeah.
It's like Dude, why don't you like take one of your own pills?
Oh, it's fine. Let's see if the connection hold up five minutes
and 30 seconds into it. Let me just see. If this will pull up.
It'll be kind of funny. I'm gonna go to five minutes and 30
seconds. So that's about here. Let's see if we can get this to
work. Okay.
Hold on. When I'm reading the website from this company, it's
a Rena farm. Location hydrochloride is the most
advanced drug candidates promising oral agent being
evaluated in the phase three clinical trial programme for
weight management. Cancer. Phase three consists of three trials
bloom behavioural modification and location for overweight and
obesity management get the L O M blossom. I don't like
that. I can't get the
behavioural modification and l lowercase are in second study
for obesity management which is blossom and bloom Diem which is
behavioural modification. In other words, the behavioural
modification seems to be the big deal. There's a what's good is
this pill.
It'll help you keep the weight off. I'm just on the lookout for
this stuff.
You know, they should be working antibiotics. These companies go
running out and they're all crapping out because we've been
misused over the years and we're gonna end up with people
dropping dead from all kinds of simple bacteria.
There you go. Alright, I think I think I've just about exhausted
everything. I couldn't do all of my, all of my normal show prep,
of course. Now you're in the snow. Yeah, there is. There is
one good little link that is under the Gitmo nation heading
in the show notes. And I do have some show notes. From Esquire
magazine. And the title is, what do you mean, Obama hasn't done
anything? And they list. They list everything that he has
done. It's a great list. You've got to read this. If you look at
any end of Year list, this is the one to look at.
Give us some sample, okay.
A week before he was sworn in, Obama jammed part two of the
bank bailout down the throat of his own party a $350 billion
accomplishment. Two days after he was sworn in Obama banned the
use of harsh interrogation and ordered the closing of
Guantanamo. A day later, Obama reverse George W. Bush's funding
cut off to overseas family planning organisations, saving
millions of lives with the stroke of a pen. Three days
after that he gave the green light to the California Car
emission standards that bush have been blocking for six
years. It just goes on and on and on and on and on. And then
when you see because of course now in hindsight, it's fine to
see what that has resulted in. It's been a banner year for the
Obama administration. It's just been great.
One of our producers Clark sent this note. I thought it'd be a
nice Christmas ditty last Christmas, I bought Obama T
shirts from my in laws, who are Democrats but are also racists.
Nice. We sent them back to Texas from DC. And when they came to
visit a few months later, they brought this one back do the
photo, they probably turn the other one into a hood. The next
time it came back, just the logo came back cut out. Of course,
something's being the pharmacist Of course, being the fine son in
law that I am. I knew we would have to come up with something
and send it back. My brilliant wife then had the idea to turn
it into a pillow. And here's the kicker, have my six year old
daughter do the sewing this way the pillow is a gift from their
granddaughter and her very first sewing project and he will have
to keep it
all right. And producers like that, that make this show what
it is. And We highly appreciate it. So the next show will be our
Year End Show. It'll be on the is it the 31st John that will
our next show will be Yeah. Via New Year's Eve morning. Yep, in
the morning. Yeah. Exactly. So I will be back. I'm sure the
connection will actually be worse thing is I'll be on AT and
T in San Francisco. Yep. So the connection will
actually supposed to go poaching a signal from my cabin in yellow
here, samedi. Yeah.
Which worked out pretty well.
In the car, the car studio,
the mobile studio pictures will be a part of the show notes. And
yeah, so we don't have to wish anyone any kind of happening
here because we'll do that on the next show on Thursday. So
coming to you from five and a half 1000 feet just inside the
Mariposa County border. crackpot command sell in Yosemite
National Park get donation West. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where the rain yesterday
and nobody really cares much about the weather here. I guess
I'm John C. Dvorak will
talk to you again just at the end of the year Thursday for
early service right here on no agenda.
