Madam Speaker, the President of the United States
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
is January 28 2010. Time for your GIBBO nation media
assassination episode one six Niner. This is no agenda
exposing the boils on the ass of America and coming to you live
from the minimum security containment sell crackpot
command centre in Gitmo nation West San Francisco, California.
In the morning. I'm Adam curry,
and you've heard him say at minimum, I'm in northern Silicon
Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill
Though clearly the Skype connection is so crappy that you
think I'm saying the minimum you did? I said minimum okay.
I was fine the audience be the judge
Well, you know what I'm just gonna make you sound like crap
today Yeah, so this is gonna happen Oops. Oh, it worked. Use
the chat room went crazy on us I think we should do a sitcom
we have to change it wouldn't be wouldn't be crackpot in buzzkill
would be the big dick and Buzzkill.
The big Lamy the Big Dick Well, yeah, I guess you know,
anatomically you're correct.
But enough I mean, you shouldn't be such a grump. Consider we
have four executive producers today.
Wow. Okay, Lay it on me big boy who's producing the show?
Well, the executive executive executive producers Tanya
Wayman, who is from New York City, and she's been building
your web to knighthood and with nickel and dimes, and she said
screw it and, and finish the job off with $662.20 to be exact.
Should
we do the ceremony right now? I think you should. Tanya from New
York, right? Yeah. Okay, hold on a second. Tanya from New York
City. I hereby night you Dana, Tanya.
Nope, it didn't hurt her. That sounds like a chapter.
Now that's only on the shoulders. It's okay. You can
stand up Tanya. That's cool. Well, welcome to Dane dumb or
knighthood, whichever we call it and the first to receive the
official knighthood ceremony.
Yeah, that took you a while. Huh?
bitch about that too. Old man.
Let's see $385.80 from Jordy Ramirez in Cancun and he's on
he's also a night lay away. So he was getting there
pretty soon right?
You'll get two more weeks. I mean, one more time I think he's
in so he's our Associate Executive Producer and then of
course you another one that that's working on this a swung
Berg enterprises. Our friends from Alberta,
Canada, Berg enterprises. What do they do John?
Spong Berg I don't know. He never says that he wants the
publicity. He's up there in Alberta Rocky Mountain House to
be exact. And he actually has a request. And which is worth is
Adams rig. Well, copy it. I laughed when I read that one.
By the way, you're getting worse by the second the rig is fine.
Is John's connection. That is the part that sucks. Yeah, um,
you know, I've started documenting it but it's it's
it's complicated. It's I don't even know how to document it.
People go like, huh,
I do that? It basically what he's done is he's jerry rigged
his Macintosh into a mixer. recorder or it's in it's in when
he shows it to you. It's like, you might as well shoot yourself
and you think you're gonna copy it? Yeah. But they could use
your microphone. That would probably be a start.
Yeah, that's good. I mean, I want to document all of this.
God John. It's unbelievable. We you call in it sounds great. And
then well, let's get through the the executive producers no bitch
about it. Last
is go goes Michael. Go go. Michael go goes. I think it's
sorry, Michael. Go goes to ad four. And he is from Tokyo.
Hey, excellent. Wow. Okay. Well, it's fantastic. Good morning.
Eva just walked in. Well, that's fantastic. We've got three
executive producers for this show. The top dog being Tanya
from New York City, the executive producer. I'm just
filling out the credit roll here. And then of course, the
Associate Executive Producers Jody Ramirez is spunk, Berg
enterprises. And Michael gogos. From from Tokyo, you know the
deal, put this on your resume, pull out the snippet from this
recording if you need to back it up, and you're guaranteed to get
jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
And it really works. Even Even people who have not put it on
their, on their resume have just gotten jobs by donating to the
show they got a job right? We've proven this karma. Karma.
Indeed. So I'm just not gonna say anything more about the
quality of your, of your connection.
Yeah, well, I'm looking at my task manager to see if there's
anything you know, possibly running because I know there's
nothing else in the house. I don't see anything going on.
How many look at it and tell me how many bits are you sending
out you can see that on the town the most you have a bandwidth
monitor in the in the PC.
Do you know I have a really good one on the other PC. But this
one here just has the whatever the network monitor says.
I mean, it's just it's just it's just a great if you come in
great, loud and clear. And then it goes through them two steps
right down to crap. So that's Skype saying on your end saying,
Oh, I don't have a good connection. I've gotta lower the
bitrate. It's your Skype that's doing it. That's let's put it
that way. Your Skype is lowering the bit rate.
Why is it my Skype because that's
the way Skype works when my connection starts to fill up
when like Mickey sends out a picture, then all of a sudden my
Skype degrades the connection.
When your Skype degrades the connection, what does that do to
meet to me sounded good or bad? No,
it does nothing to you, then you hear me sounding like crap. You
see,
I've never heard you sounding like crap. Yes,
you did. The minute Mickey sent a picture a couple of weeks ago,
you said Oh, you just it just sounds like you went to
shortwave. And I said, Oh, hold on a second. I can I could see
the what was happening right here on the connection. And she
was sending out a picture, my connection gets crunched. And
then Skype starts to degrade the codec. So it's something in your
place. It's your son that kami he's sabotaging it.
Because he's in Washington at the moment. Well, he's VPN
then somehow.
So I'm not completely a buying into your elbow, I can still do
it because I have a new router. So I have to change the port
forwarding. But I'm not really buying just because this never
happens when you're not in San Francisco.
It does. It does happen.
And it doesn't happen with anybody but you.
Well, isn't that unfortunate that we have to do a show twice
a week and it sucks. I think you need to move.
I think you need to get something other than AT and T
DSL.
Yeah, if it was available. We went through that I can't get
anything anyway. I'll just have to live with it.
I think so unfortunately, the audience has to live with it.
You shouldn't be so concerned.
Well, it's hard to hear you sometimes wonder what
this thing here. This is the interesting little programme
called iPod service
that listens to to your USB and if you connect an iPod, then it
fires up your iTunes
keeps coming and bouncing around or I don't like seeing it. I
think I'm gonna get rid of it.
You know, I think you should just get a Mac.
What's that gonna do? How's that gonna change my Skype
connection?
Well, I don't know. Because I know more about Max and I can
help you troubleshoot windows, man. It's like there's all kinds
of it's always talking to home base. It's always doing
something it's communicating with the NSA and the CIA. You
know, I truly believe that there is something in your system that
is uploading. That's why I said Carbonite. You've got to have
some online backup system or something that's firing up.
Not on this machine is really literally nothing on here. Yeah.
Okay. So what is this and this a dot send home?
Hmm, well, I wonder what that could be. All right, John, let's
get into the meat of this programme. It was funny to
watch. All the tweets coming by last night. People are saying
Oh, I know what they're going to be talking about. I know agenda.
And I'm like, the people really think that we're going to
comment for a long while on that State of the Union.
Well, I took a lot of notes.
Okay, once you lay in with the notes, and I'll comment back we
have no sound clips from it. I don't I don't think you have any
reason to take sound clips from it. sound clips, but they don't
have sound clips from that. Doll. The speech was dull
enough. Yeah, by the way. Funny though that happened on Hannity.
Before you get into that kind of Just say the timing of all of
this was so incredibly interesting with this State of
the Union was actually postponed and they would they were going
to do it on a different day. And then they moved it to Wednesday.
And I'm pretty sure that we can, without a doubt speak of the
seeing as Wednesday was not only the announcement of the iPad,
which these know these guys know that so many people on the
internet are going to be preoccupied with the with the
iPad, that they won't have time to be preparing and thinking
about the State of the Union. But also, it was the the
testimony and grilling of the financial division of the
government, including Little Timmy Geithner, Hank Paulson
about this scandal revolving around AIG in the backdoor
bailout. And I'm, I'm pretty convinced that was time
specifically to cover that up.
You have some clips from that?
I do. But let's get into the State of the Union first. Well,
before we
get too deep into it, you notice you this is all done with pool
cameras. Everybody was shooting, you know, as sharing the images.
Did you watch the whole thing and you saw that one shot, it
was only done once that I can remember where that I saw of the
overhead shot that was straight is appeared to be coming from
the dome itself?
No, I didn't. In fact, I was watching C span and I was kind
of disappointed later when I switched over to look at some of
the postgame analysis. You know, and then of course, you get all
the all the networks are in HD. I mean, C span it's like they're
shooting it with a flip cam. I don't I don't know what kind of
what kind of cameras they got. I mean, yeah, maybe it's a pool
cam. But dude, it was horrible. And I don't think it was all the
same cameras. I don't think it was all one pool.
No, there may have been two pools with the pool I was
watching which was CBS was when used by CBS. They were which was
in great, great quality. You see everybody yawning and they had a
lot of nice shots of the audience. Well, I got a lot of
interesting things like, what were the old military generals
doing in front there, and then they never clapped. They never
got up. And then we got down, you know, this particular event
is, is probably 90% of the exercise most of these people
get on a year by year basis. They're not they're down.
They're down. Well,
the Republicans were sitting down most of the time they
weren't getting up a hell of a lot.
No, they got out once or twice, but it was rare, but the
generals never got up except when Obama brought up the VA.
Yeah, they got up the whole time. I'm thinking you guys
you're never gonna get up because I guess we're not
supposed to. But they did. Well,
is it possible now they must release this script before the
President gets up and and delivers it and I'll tell you
why.
No, no, this is already a well known fact Hannity had it posted
on his website the night before.
Okay, good. Because I started getting CNBC iPhone app alerts
about was one of the policies that Obama was announced. You
know, I was like, the, maybe the freeze, but it was something
that came like 10 minutes before he said it in the speech. I got
the alert. I'm like, huh, I he hasn't even talked about this
yet. It was kind of weird. And by the way, you don't know what
this show was missing because it is a show. It's missing Ryan
Seacrest on the red carpet. As everyone's coming in. That would
be great. And what are you what is this fine yellow outfit you
have on what was up with that all these women in yellow, this
is
yellow and red for the women. The guys all wear either dark
navy, a couple guy old farts had grey suits on from Brooks
Brothers. And all the ties were the same looking tight and all
the shirts were either blue or white. There was no variation
Other than that, it was it was ludicrous.
Although I must say and producer listener. Chris pointed this
out. Biden's tie matched Pelosi suit they coordinated.
Biden's tie was kind of a blue tie with stripes going in the
opposite direction of Obama's red tie.
Correct? Yeah, that by the way is a Mind Control trick.
I think so. And blowsy. She was wearing about 25 grand in
pearls.
Bigger than my testicles. There were
huge black and white pearls.
She was wearing sealed testicles around her neck. It was
outrageous.
And she had a very sedate kind of a purplish, whatever the hell
she was wearing as it was in the audience. Yeah. red or yellow.
It was coordinated though. I mean, they totally are. What do
you you know, I'm sure Pelosi called up Jill chill. Um, what's
he going to wear?
She probably did. Yeah, of course, somebody's coordinating
this these outfits. Yeah. So here's the one that cracked me
up in the whole speech. The funniest thing. By the way, that
overhead shot that you didn't get to see is unbelievable.
Straight down on the whole thing with a super wide angle fisheye
lens. Oh, wow. It's astonishing. It's the only show that was out
there. Maybe not supposed to show it at all. I don't know. It
was screwy looking.
It's just my imagination, or it does. The President doesn't
usually come through the side door and he came down the middle
of the aisle this time or that?
Oh, you know, that's funny. I think he's done both. Okay.
Because
he because, you know, Mickey's like oh, he's gonna come down
the middle of the aisle. I'm like, now I always come to the
side door. And there he was. He came right down the middle.
Yeah, it was totally like the Oscars. We were just missing
Ryan Seacrest. That's all. And
here's the here's the funniest moment besides the guys going up
and down and up and down. So he turns to Michelle. And you have
to kind of deconstruct this if you want to really appreciate
it. It's pretty apparent if you've been following this first
year that if Michelle is allowed, Michelle Obama is
allowed to go over in her own direction with her own jet
flying all over the world pigging out, she's going to be
the size of our house in about a year.
Did you see the dress that she was wearing? Yeah, you know,
every woman knows that she has to wear these big dresses to
hide her enormous ass.
So Obama signed her the job of being in charge in charge of
some childhood obesity programme was hilarious. Like, she was
given him the stink eye over this. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And she actually told everyone to sit down to sit
down. It's not funny.
And he laughed about it. But she gave him a glare that was there
was enough to you know, dissolve a block of ice instantly. What
he's done is okay, if you're going to be in charge of
childhood obesity, you're not going to be able to go out as a
big fat woman.
You got to get rid of that. But maybe, but this year, but I can
hear the conversation go. Oh, yeah. Did you see that? Hemby
Peggy hamburger who's in charge of the FDA. Now that's fat. And
by the way, and people's can't help being sad, I guess.
No, but but you can't help from flying around and then going
from place to place and chowing down constantly. I mean, you
know, and then you can if you have to, you know meet actors
and actresses that are naturally fat they can they can control
their weight pretty well because they got a role to play. And so
Obama's Michelle Obama has now got a role to play yeah,
take some more classes come on. That's what we hired you guys
for tax act like it already. All right.
The other thing was weird was was Pelosi, two things were
going on behind Obama one, especially at the beginning. You
You think that Biden was of what No, do you ever see that little
monkey that has the symbols and you wind up? Thinking Ching
Yeah. That's what Biden was looking like. And, and Pelosi
would have these these these crazy smiles like a like a cycle
bat that would just crop up every so and
you could in the shot that I had on C span. You could just see
her mouth and the tip of her nose in the background the whole
time was a horrible shot. And you could see she got me like
that big. It's like faker than Hollywood fake. The smile. I
mean, and also I do understand you're really self conscious
when you're up there. You know, like people are looking at me
the whole time. But yeah, that smile is pretty crazy. We add
producer Kevin did a little tally for us because there were
some changes in the script writing we did not get a single
let me be clear. I don't think there was a single listen and
only one look. I remember the look yeah, I remember that too.
But there are a couple of new ones that are slipped in there
and this is from Kevin's note seems like now and still
followed by a pause has taken over now. Still make no mistakes
were in there let me repeat remember this the word job was
said at least five times work 10 Times a few of the job and works
were not in context. In total the word jobs he Kevin says 20
times and after the end this is interesting the timing of it
because for people have never seen a State of the Union is
it's kind of weird because it Mickey was never I think never
seen ones like what are they doing is like one of the why
they keep clapping and standing up and sitting down and
clapping.
A massive the Catholic Church yeah
wasted time. And so after they announced the president It took
four minutes until Pelosi introduced Obama followed by
another 50 seconds of applause 75 minutes total time from the
time Obama won walked into the room until the speech was over
and that time 24 minutes of applause followed by one minute
applause after the speech ended, which was short, I felt and
lacklustre. Yeah, in general, I thought the the applaud there
was less hooting and hollering. And of course, it was supposed
to be kind of solemn, I guess because everybody's State of the
Union, everybody's hurting.
So did he say that he just wants to troops out by the end of
August of this year,
and this is what got me I even had Nick who works over at
naevia, who, who was listening, who's kind of waking up to the,
you know, the guy's like, 30, he's kind of waking up. He's
like, hey, wait a minute, something going on in the world.
This is what you guys talk about. So he texts me is like,
all you gotta admit, that was a pretty good speech, you know,
for people who can't really see through it. And if you don't
know the background, yeah, it sounds great. When he says, Oh,
I'm gonna get the troops out. I'm gonna get the troops out by
the No, actually, you said the combat troops will be out by
August. And by the end of his term, that's four years, all
troops will be out, take that to the bank. So of course, we know
the lie behind that is that this was going to be the first thing
he was going to fix and take everybody out and the subtlety
between combat troops and troops. And then how about
contractors? That's not you know, he should say, I'm gonna
get Blackwater out, then I'd be I'd be standing up and applaud.
And if you said that, and then there was the gays in the
military. There's like, what's up with another, another empty,
vapid promise? It's like it keeps promising stuff.
I noticed the general didn't stand up and clap for that one.
Well, they were they were like, what? Hey, wait, that wasn't in
the script. He didn't say
that. And also they caught apparently CBS or one of the
stations caught the Supreme Court Judge Ali odo. When
Obama's bitching about the fact that they passed this, you know,
they had a decision based on how much money corporations can
spend on campaigns. They've leaning over and say, That's
bullshit. I'll release it as bullshit. Well, he said, you
know, he says not true. Somebody they caught him just shaking his
head and talking to the justice next to him that as though Obama
is full of crap, oh, no, that's
funny. I didn't catch that. Oh, no, I they had a shot of them on
on C span when he when he called him out. But you? I didn't see
any of that. I was actually looking. For some reason this
link broke. Who was the crazy Democrat?
The one in Florida? Yeah.
What's this? What's his name? Again? I
don't remember. I can never remember that guy's name. Well,
he hold on. I've
got it here. He's come out with with a bill. This is crazy. This
is Thomas thing. It's like, this guy's Bill has changed locations
on thomas.gov. Four times. And now it doesn't exist. Okay. I
thought it was Bill for HR 4431. That's what I wrote my show
notes, where he's proposing a 500% tax on corporations who
want to spend money on on media campaigns for elected officials.
Of course, it will go nowhere. It's total grandstanding. But
the idea is kind of funny. I can't I don't understand why. I
can't find it. Oh, here it is. Okay. HR 4431 to amend the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a 500% excise tax on
corporate contributions to political committees. And on
corporate expenditures on political advocacy campaigns.
Grayson, Alan Grayson from Florida. Yeah, Grayson, that's,
yeah, you'll find that in the show notes at no agenda.
show.com Funny, I like it. But you know, useless. No, no co
sponsors. A you don't you don't say? That thing went away quick.
Oh, there's like, you know, the media is not going to talk about
that. I gotta explain that. Everybody. How come no one talks
about this? Well, because who's the beneficiary of all that
money? It's the media? Of course not going to talk about it? Of
course
not. I wouldn't know. Federal we had sponsors we wouldn't be
talking about we should mention that. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. It was just, uh, but yeah, it was a speech. Right.
So here's another one I should mention. If people want to
deconstruct the stuff they should take, you know, take the
Republicans are trying to get this right. But it's like so
obvious when you watch it, if anybody just actually thinks
about it. So they had this guy, Bob McDonald from Virginia, the
governor of Virginia, you know, doing kind of a slipshod
response. At least it wasn't Bobby Jindal, who basically
screwed up any chances of ever becoming.
This is the Republican response to the state of the Republican
response.
So they had it in the the state House of Virginia. In which, you
know, it's kind of a cool looking place. But the thing was
rigged in such a way that he's standing there at the podium and
behind him. For people, there's one on the upper left or upper
right, lower left, lower right. And it was just like so stage,
it was worse than me, it was so obvious they had on the upper
left was a was a black woman. On the upper right was some vague,
Asian looking guy,
gay guy in there, hopefully, he may have
been gay. And then in the Lord, he may, he may have been a dual
purpose. And then on the lower left,
he gets he gets paid twice scale, because he's a dual
player, and the lower level of some military guy in his uniform
ball. And you could have been gay too, for all I know. And
then on the lower right, that was a lower left in the lower
right was some hot chick that was nodding constantly was a hot
chick. Oh, no, it's just some girl. She's really attractive.
And she's sitting there nodding and everything. This guy says, I
love it. The whole thing is that you can't you couldn't watch it
that much as I look at these four. goofballs.
Right? And of course, nothing was actually said
no, he didn't say anything. I don't think there were all I
know any notes I made was he they do have a website called
solutions.gop.gov.
solutions solutions, what are they an IT firm now? It's what
sounds like they've got solutions. Alright, so
meanwhile, all this was covering up a whole bunch of other stuff.
And I sat through a lot of C span over the past two days,
actually, I have to go back. Actually a week in time for
something that I caught that a couple other people caught this
on some of the, in some of the circles that I travel, remember
the they had the whole slew up there, they had an Apollo Tano,
they had lighter. He's the guy that went on his ski vacation
after the crotch bomber was caught. And one other jabroni
was up there. So at the end of the day, we're talking about,
you know, how can this get guy? How can how could this guy get
through what's happening? What's wrong with our airport security,
all the impetus, of course, to the introduction of backscatter
and millimetre wave body scanners. And this LIDAR says
something really interesting about the watch list. This is
not the no fly list, but about the watch list. And I missed it,
actually. And I watched this thing live. And I kind of missed
what he said. And I just like to play that before we get into
some of the financial stuff. Are you ready for that? Yeah. So
this is a I forget his first name, his name is lighter. He's
got these really weird eyes and these freaky eyebrows. And he's
always trying to make funny jokes, which fall completely
flat. So here comes the question about, about these watch lists
and how many people are on it? And and what are we actually
doing with these watch lists?
How many that were on the watch list? Last year, approximately,
were allowed into the country through random watch list. A
very significant number, just to give you a snapshot, of course,
the watch list is approximately 400,000 names. Out of those, I
believe only approximately 14,000 were selectees and only
4000. No flies. So a very significant month number would
they have travelled to the United States, right at most
would have been men at the border with some sort of
secondary inspection, it would have been a large number that
would not have been, it would have been a little bit allowed,
it would have been a very large number of eligible to come in
whether or not they were ultimately turned away at the
border. I can't give you that number. That's sort of
instinctively troubling is in that century? I think in one way
it is. And I think that goes right back to the standards or
what are the standards have we set the standards so low that we
really have too high a bar to get somebody into that no fly
select the list before they get to our shores of jumbled the
watch list who were allowed. We don't know exactly how many came
into the country who were on the watch list? No, I will tell you
that when people come to the country they are on the watch
list. It is because we have generally made the choice that
we want them here in the country for some reason or another.
There you go.
What you heard it correctly. If they're on the watch list, and
they're let in that's because we want them to come in for some
reason or another listen to it. Again,
they are on the watch list. It is because we have generally
made the choice that we want them here in the country for
some reason or another.
No one wants to say and of course this douchebag doesn't
follow up on it. Hello. The question is was the crotch
bomber on the watch list and did you let him in for some reason
or another?
That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard in turn in terms of
clips you've dug up it's troubling, right? Well, I don't
know, it's baffling more than Trump. I guess it is troubling
if what he says unless he was just, you know, not particularly
aware of what he was saying, which is possible.
No, he's I think he's very clear. He's saying, people who
are on the watch list don't get into the country unless we
decide that we want them in for one reason or another, which I
guess could only be to follow them or whatever. But that makes
no sense.
No, it doesn't make any sense at all. Okay, well, I guess we'll
have to I don't know. Obviously, this guy's not gonna follow up
with it with an interesting question. We're never going to
figure out the answer to that unless we get a hold of this guy
and asked him
well, this is this, of course, is the problem with all of these
congressional hearings is that nothing ever comes to them.
Nothing ever happens. No one ever no one ever. Oh, hold on a
second. John. We just have a very important clip. This is
Ruth Witherspoon during the Haiti telethon.
Great. Well, this is Reese Witherspoon. And we really
appreciate your call. You're calling in to donate her the
Hope for Haiti programme. Yes, I am. Wonderful. Well, we we are
going to have an operator get on the line and to actually take
your donation I've already spoken to an operator. Yes, I
have. Okay, great. And thank you so much for your donation. You
can't even imagine how much love and great wonderful energy is
here today. And people are just doing everything they can to
make a difference in these people's lives. I could help out
I couldn't donate a lot but what I don't believe I could I did.
This is the wrong one.
By the way, she's referred to by some people as Greasley. Reason.
Yeah, here's
the one I want to play. I'm sorry. I screwed. I suck.
This is Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. Oh, it's painting me to hear her
again. Falling into donate. Yeah, like
to donate to no agenda. Yeah.
All right. That joke sucks. I really blew it.
I'm sorry. Oh, you played next week?
Yeah. When We've all forgotten about it. I'm a douche. All
right, let's get into the meat.
You're not labelling your clips.
Navel uh, you're right, I labelled it the wrong way. Got
to talk about Little Timmy Geithner this is what I think
the big cover up was. So this was pretty amazing. You know,
there was there was a question whether Timothy Geithner was
going to be called in to testify at all and I you know, I put the
whole video is like two hours into the show notes you can find
that a no agenda show.com career.com dvorak.org/blog
I encourage you to watch it. Not that anything will ever come of
it. But if you want to understand the illegality, the
backdoor bailout, if you really want to understand what
happened, you have to watch this because nothing nothing will
happen to this guy. And maybe he'll resign or it's out he's
not gonna go to jail as he should. But what what is cool is
that these congressmen or senators, they ask the
questions, basically, in their question, they state the facts
of what went down and then they know then they asked What Is
that true, right? And then the guy just makes up some crap. And
he lies about it. But if you want to if you want the facts as
to what actually happened, you need to watch this stuff and
listen to it was kind of funny though, how it started out. So
anyway, so the guy has only two hours because he has an
important meeting and he has to leave like after two hours and
like, Well, Mr. Geitner you know we can only have one more one
minute from each side of the of the room one minute for the
Democrats, one win for the Republicans because Mr. Geithner
has a very busy schedule, and he has to go. Like what waterboard
this turd. So here he is after getting sworn in.
Chairman Towns, Ranking Member Eisah, members of the committee,
thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today. I
welcome the committee's attention to this issue. And we
will continue to work closely with this committee with all
other oversight bodies in the sector.
Pull the magazine to look closer we haven't looked troubled. I'm
almost eating it right now. How's that
has thought that was pretty funny. It's almost eating,
eating it. And then we get Eisah and ice ask them a question. And
it's very clear that ISO listens to no agenda. Not only Eisah but
Timmy Geithner's kids listen to no agenda, and I have proof
right here in the following soundbite. Okay, now it's easier
to read on the screen. Where are you on the AIG counterparty
disclosure issue? Okay, I got to set this up. So Eisah is showing
an email, where a day before the news breaks, Geitner sends an
email to the to his, quote, replacement at the New York
Federal Reserve and says, Hey, man, where are you on this
issue? What are we going to do? You're basically like shit, what
are we going to do about how it's easier to read on the
screen? Where are you on the AIG counterparty disclosure issue?
Long after you left, you made this email. What was it about
and what was the answer?
Well, the comment is, you know, this question of disclosure was
the subject of huge amount of controversy. And most people
think, yeah, that's what my son says and I agree with you. I
love you think. Yes, think. Anyway, the,
the person who really nailed Geitner and I got tonnes of
clips, I only think we should play them all because they're
they're all a bit long, but the one who really pegged him was
kept her Nancy kept her and she's, she's been, she's
amazing. She's a Democrat, I think, by the way. And, by the
way, the Democrats equally as harsh on Little Timmy Geithner,
so there's definitely some plan to get him out. And probably
Paul Volcker is going to take over or something like that. But
she basically just kept making the connections between Tim
Geithner and Goldman Sachs. And it was just embarrassing.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, welcome. Can you
provide for the record a copy of the recusal agreement that you
signed when you were the New York Fed?
So Timmy Geithner, this was the this is the thing that's
strange. He remained the president of the New York
Federal Reserve, which is a conglomerate of commercial
banks. While he was the adviser to the President and moving into
his role as Secretary of the Treasury, so he had to recuse
himself. So Kaptur is saying, Could you please provide a copy
of the letter where you recused yourself? The definition of
recusal John?
Oh, that means you've extracted yourself from a situation that
would be a conflict of interest.
I did not sign a recusal agreement, I withdrew from day
to day management operations policies as the New York Fed and
my colleagues, both in Washington and in New York can
attest to that.
So there was no formal agreement.
No, as I said, in my testimony, what I did is I withdrew from
and this was very important to do.
I mean, how weird is that? The guy recused himself, but he
doesn't do it officially.
Well, what he's claiming is that he quit. So what difference does
it make?
Well, but you kind of got to make that he didn't he didn't
quit. He was basically straddling he was in both
places. At the same time. He was still the president of the New
York Federal Reserve Board, but he didn't actually recuse
himself. If you recuse yourself, you do that with a letter? How
hard can it be?
Again, no precedent for this a sitting president York Fed,
being nominated be Secretary Treasury, and I withdrew from
after carefully consulting my colleagues from involvement in
monetary policy decisions. I did not go to the FOMC meeting in
December, and I withdrew from all decisions about these
individual cases involving the financial system and from day to
day management. That was thank you the right thing to do at
that time.
Thank you for clarifying that. Number two, a lot of people
think that the President of the New York Fed works for the US
government. But in fact, you work for the private banks that
elected you know, that is not true. Can you provide for the
record the names of the handful of bankers and the board of the
New York Fed that elected you in 2003?
That is a matter of public record?
Stream? Of course, we can do that. Thank you very much,
but because from what you just said, was not true. I work in
the public interest officials of the Federal Reserve work for the
public interest, and they work for the government.
But the people don't elect you the heads of the Feds around the
country don't elect you. It's the individuals who sit on the
board of the New York Fed that elect you Is that correct? It's
slightly more complicated
than that.
You don't know how it works. It's it's different. It's very
complicated. This is not for American people to understand.
This is very complicated. All right. I don't work for private
banks. I worked for the people
the Congress did in setting up the Fed. It set up a system
where the presidents of the regional Reserve Banks are
elected by their board, but it requires the approval of the
Chairman of the Board of Governors in Washington for them
to serve. So it is a delicate balance of checks and balances
and Congress design that system.
I understand. My understanding is he still got his salary.
Yeah. As if he was working full time. So there's a conflict of
interest. There
was that's that's the whole point. He was working full time
as the president of the New York Federal Reserve, not elected by
the people she's about to tell us who elected him And he was
receiving his salary. And of course, we know that he's very
poor at paying taxes. And at the same time, he was nominated to
be the Treasury or the secretary, and then this bailout
has to happen. So he's in both places at once he is the Black
Widow, the spider in the middle that banks
that elected you. And I would like you to provide that for the
record, please. That is not equal to the New York Fed. So
I'm very interested in your answer to the record. Number
three, Goldman Sachs was the largest domestic recipient of
funds in this AIG counterparty arrangement. Let me ask you now
is Treasury Secretary, your chief of staff is the gatekeeper
for access to you? Could you please provide his name?
His name is Mark Patterson.
Thank you, and for whom did he work before you selected him as
your chief of staff?
He worked for the President's transition team. No before that,
which Wall Street firm that you work for that? Again, this is a
matter of public record. And you know, and you know the answer to
this question, when work for Goldman Sachs, but
let me say this more and
more for the President's transition team. I mean, how
obvious is it? He's trying to hide this?
He was selling candy bars with the Girl Scout cookies. They
answered the question,
though. Well, you've answered the question. The AIG
transaction was disturbing to many observers. Why did our
government not require the bank creditors to take the lead and
bear some of the cost? In any plan to stabilise
AI? She goes on. And you can, you can see, you've got to see
this video. If you care at all about what's going on in the
world. You've got to see this. He made hundreds he has the
phone records, hundreds of calls to Paulson, who, of course, we
know is ex Goldman Sachs. And, and I'll just give you to finish
this up. Dennis Kucinich. I'll give you his lead in question.
We don't even have to listen to the answer. Kiska cinch
basically tells you what happened right here in his
question.
Mr. Geithner, the New York Fed agreed to Goldman Sachs demand
for billions to centre to settle its counterparty claims, with
AIG 100 cents on the dollar. But for more than a year before that
Goldman and AIG had been locked into a dispute over that money,
and Goldman believed that would lose up to 2.5 billion if AIG
defaulted. Did you know at the time that Goldman Sachs had
concluded it would not receive 100 cents on the dollar from AIG
in the event of default.
So that's something I didn't realise that, that they were in
a basically in a court case over this money. And of course,
Christina just goes on to state that, hey, look, you know, these
guys would have never have gotten 100 cents on the dollar
in a court case, at best, it would have cost them 10s of
millions of dollars in court to sue them over it's a would have
cost them money. Therefore, there was no reason not to give
him less than 100 cents on the dollar.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven, they shouldn't be
throwing people in jail.
That's the disturbing part. And at the end, regardless of who it
is, except for a CAPTCHA, they all pretty much say Well, we
really appreciate you coming here today and thank you for
your service and blah blah blah, blah, blah. Except for mica
thing that's his name. He he really laid into him. So yeah,
the whole thing is not just disturbing it's fraud.
Geithner's there perjuring himself as far as I'm concerned
lying, because it's very clear what he did he there was a
backdoor bailout 100 cents on the dollar and we paid for it.
He didn't act in our interest and he was conflicted and didn't
even write down on a piece of paper that he was conflicted it
was well known that no they they should be I'm telling you they
should waterboard. waterboard Little Timmy waterboard Timmy?
No. All right. You won't get this. I mean, you know, it's,
ah, I wish I wish they would make some time in in mainstream
media to actually analyse some of this stuff. It's not that
hard. It just takes a little while to go through the clip.
And just actually listen to what the guy is saying. And you know,
you can see what it's obvious he's lying. He's just lying and
nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen
except that now Paul Volcker is being kind of pushed to the
foreground who actually was I think was a pretty good guy. And
he was also head of the Federal Reserve during he was pretty
Greenspan. Yeah, pre Greenspan, right? You know, so now he's
going to take over or something's going to happen
here. But the way they hustle, Timmy Geithner in and out after
you know after two hours I was like, Oh, he's got a lunch date.
He's got to leave now. It was just crap.
I love that part. Sorry, but he's got to go to lunch. Yeah.
Gotta go to lunch. We have no time. So anyway,
they also had Bernanke on the on the day as to taking abuse from
everybody, same thing, and they're gonna probably put the
guy back in. And he's just he's as deep as
you think they could put Bernanke back in.
Yeah. Well, Obama wants to keep them. Oh, Bernie, Bernie.
Bernie.
He's better. I do agree. Let's just call him Bernanke.
Yeah, Bernanke. That's much better. So Bernie keys. Yeah,
but Obama wants for some unknown reason. I mean, he's not even
Obama's guy. You know, my favourite thing is the
Republicans love the guy. At least most of them do. And they
said not all of them according to the tomorrow ones don't. And,
and my still my favourite argument, which you had on the
show some weeks ago, which is the guy says, well, since you
screwed everything up, you know best how to fix it. Kind of
argument. That's why we should put him back in because he's
incompetent. I thought that argument was the most
interesting. Yeah, this
is just unbelievable that no one cares. We're all too consumed by
the iPad. That's really that's really what it's all about.
Yep, products.
This does this does tie into a very weird occurrence. A typical
case of to to the head up there and Davao and Switzerland. As
Dr. Marcus Reinhart, longtime Swiss police police commander,
who is in charge of security at the World Economic Forum, which
I guess kicks off in a week or two right
last night, but I know that given speeches now, there was
just one the other day by the guy that Prime Minister of
Greece was moaning and groaning saying that they're trying to
set him up to be a fall guy.
Oh, yeah. Oh, well, of course. I mean, Greece has been the fall
guy for a whole bunch of stuff that's going on the European
Union. But so this lot so there's a long long term Swiss
police commander key he literally and I have the reports
here that this is what it slays me when I read it and apparent
suicide he shot himself in the head twice I kid you not kid you
not just to make sure he was dead. He shot himself twice in
the head with a gun in his left hand. And I do have information
on what happened and I think this is quite telling. So the
World Economic Forum this is where all the bankers basically
get together and party and I was Oh boy. I think I just lost John
that doesn't happen very often. We'll see if he calls back
hopefully he will. Wow. John, maybe in a way we should be
careful playing these the sound effects Oh come on. John. Call
me back
where is he?
There he is. And you'll find it peculiar.
Yeah. No, wait a minute. Don't even say anything. Don't even
don't even say anything
you there. Yeah. Go ahead. Don't you find it peculiar that we get
disconnected on this particular discussion topic? Oh, yeah.
While you were gone. I'm playing like the tutor headphones. Yeah,
very peculiar.
And I mean we can we could be disconnected at any point in the
show. Yeah, but it has to happen on
this very topic as I'm about to tell everybody what's going on
so yeah, it's pretty peculiar okay, you find out because I
looked into this discourse about this guy getting you know
shooting himself twice in the head which again, you know,
that's almost like code now it seems to me
Well yeah. I think that I think they're sending messages to us I
think they're making a joke hey, let's fuck with those no agenda
guys.
Anybody listen to this show go on for hours about
it let's let's create let's do him twice here one more Hey,
Bruno. Hit him one more time that's funny.
You know, there's there's that possibility and because I you
know, I've you know if you're working with these, these guys
do a lot of them are are jokers, and they like to pull stuff like
that.
But they do I mean, that's why do you think that they're
talking about you think in the Senate dude, this show is making
a difference. In the Senate within this year, someone's
gonna say in the morning, Good night, Gary. until you,
someone's gonna say it. Let me just give you my, my theory
here, this comes from my sources. So, so all the bankers
are going to be in one place at the same time. And of course, if
you follow my theory, which John, I think you subscribe to
some of it, but probably not all, that a lot of this
financial trouble that we're in is done on purpose. And there's
a purposeful takedown of the economy and it's for a whole
bunch of reasons, mainly to, for people to enrich themselves,
that getting all the money now, and then when everything
collapses, they're gonna buy up your shit, they're gonna buy
your land, your farm, your house, your plane, your car,
everything that you own, they're gonna own with the money they
stole in the first place, which is your money through bailouts.
Just look at all the bonuses that are being handed out. So
they come together, and they have this is basically what you
would call John the drinking Club, where they all are going
to discuss how we're going to, you know, pull the final levers,
which may involve grease and a number of other countries. So
this guy has to do security. And obviously, you know, there's a
lot of security you got to put in place for, for all these
bankers. So he apparently, this Marcus Reinhart, you got to
spell it with DT otherwise, you get some body builder on Google,
which is
right. I got the body builder, I
got the body builder the first time to. So he was setting up
all new kinds of security. And he had these hypersensitive
listening devices. So you can actually hear a gun being cocked
you can detect all kinds of, you know, it's highly tuned stuff.
And he apparently overheard something about the real plan
for the final collapse of the global banking system. And they
found out about it. And that's why they had to do him.
You know, it's like, it's a good it's a good storyline for a good
Hollywood movie. I think there was that movie, the
International whatever it is about the, you know, the corrupt
bankers? I mean, let's face it, there's a there is a corrupt
aspect of what's going on. And I don't see this guy committing
suicide. No. Does that Miss wrong with this picture?
He's been a commander of the Swiss police for years, the guy
was 61, you know, is like, if he is like, 61, all of a sudden,
I'm gonna kill myself. You just don't do that when you get to
that age, John.
So by law says there's something that they could do to get away
with and send a message to his boss. In other words, everybody
gets the word that look. Stop doing this.
Well, yeah, stop. Let's stop the
and of course, the code word is to, to to the committed suicide,
but he's himself in the head twice.
That that is obvious code, then of course, that's it, right?
That's like out of respect for the family, no further details
will be released.
Okay. And that probably given them a cup pack of money.
Did you find anything else on this particular topic? No,
that was really kind of frustrated by I didn't get to, I
don't have a couple years sources. And so I was just
basically left out of left out of the I gave up. Well, so let's
go to some real news.
Oh, gee, it's about time. Now
there's a couple of things I got here. But this isn't actually
real news. But I guess the kind of qualifies as real and
actually, I got a couple of different things. But I was
watching looking for some some messages in a law and order
show, especially the new ones that are produced by USA
Network, which is done worst, they took that Law and Order
Criminal Intent show and they gave it to these other these
guys who can't really do a very good job. So you know how you
always talked about? If you just listened to the to the instead
of watch it? how bad the acting is?
Yes. If you're not watching, you're only listening to the
dialogue. That's when you really can hear how atrocious it is.
I got this clip. And this is including Jeff Goldblum who's a
Hollywood actor that should do to do well. Yeah. But no. So
this is just a little clip from the show. A recent episode,
which is called bad acting is try to listen to this. with a
straight face. It's not very long, but the whole thing is
ludicrous. So you sent over convinced her. I have no idea
what you're talking about. Ladies like what are you doing
here? I'm sorry.
I had an affair with Ron Hemmings. I just wasn't getting
the emotional support that I needed from you.
You know, that's exactly how my divorce went. That's exactly how
I said it. I just wasn't getting the emotional support from you.
Last Saturday I was having an affair.
Dr. Ernst made me realise that I owed it to myself to actualize
my feelings. And from his sessions with Ron Hemmings, he
knew that Hemmings liked your wife.
Did you know that Dr. Ernst pimped her out to get Hemmings
investment was not shocked
he sent her back again after things went bust.
Oh my god. This this is like this is like a acting class one
to one in high school.
I love the guy that says oh, I'm shocked shocked.
Oh, oh my god. This is all you got. Like I can I can take
another 20 seconds. That's about the whole Eclipse
calm Hemmings down and to convince us the only thing he
was upset about was their love affair. She wasn't sure that it
worked. I told you they didn't believe me. And you didn't want
him talking about your involvement and
beuliss securities because that might
lead us start asking some questions
John, don't do this to me.
Get my em as you get the estimate like there's actually a
punch line at the end. Make sure to keep quiet with this This is
insane. This is this is this is insane. This is insane. I am
shocked well you tried to kill him Yes. Yes. No I did not. Hey,
John. It's so robotic.
In the morning to you
is the more in the morning to you to Adam
yes good John. Hey. I just not getting the emotional support I
need from you in our relationship John in the
morning.
Yes, I am shocked to now okay now I got some did this is
closer to real news your muscles just play this it's the Super
Bowl clip. This is a big controversy is not quite taken
off like everybody hoped it would but they tried to make it
take off. Apparently some family go consortium have a bunch of
family kind of right wing family churchgoing types that are pro
life have gotten CBS to take an ad for the Superbowl. I don't
know why they can't they can't afford to take this ad out. And
what's the point of it would be but it's kind of football
related because it's a story about how Tim Tebow was as new
as great quarterback Iseman Trophy winner, Florida was going
to be a boy they did. Apparently his mother was told to get an
abortion because she's having complications. And she said, No,
no, I'm not going to. And now Tim Tebow arrives and he's his
great football player. So
okay, so now I understand what you're saying. So he could have
been an aborted foetus but because he wasn't aborted he is
this fantastic. Heisman Trophy winning football player.
Yeah, that's the underlying that's the subtext. So
meanwhile, a bunch of different people call but this is this is
presented on Fox and this is part of and you know, I don't
care one way or the other to run this ad. I'm sure it'll be fine.
But But Fox, you know, just trying to make it into an issue
because there's apparently a few left wing groups that are you
know, I think this shouldn't be on you know, because these
people are bad. I so they do they do the old trick? Well,
let's find somebody. Well, let's find somebody who's represents
the other side who doesn't want to see this ad. And let's see,
who can we find? Oh, here we are. Here's a stuttering black
woman who can barely walk and chew gum at the same time. Let's
let's put her on TV, and so she can represent that side of the
argument.
Focus on the Family anti woman. The Women's Media Centre calls
them homophobic and anti equality. Here's what the
executive director of choice USA told us they're known
to spew hate and to be again very divisive and and that I
have no doubt that that will come through and I don't believe
that it has a place again, this unAmerican hate doesn't have a
place in this all American pastime.
They say CBS should know better twice.
Well, there's a lot of controversy over the ad that no
one's no one's really seen, right?
What do we know about it? Joe? COVID No one seemed to know what
they're talking about. And they're doing a whole stories on
it. They don't nobody knows
what they're talking about. Nobody see the woman who's who
this woman who was representing God knows what organisation but
she you look at she looks she has about as much interest in
football in the Superbowl as nobody. And it's like so what
and so now she's well it's an all American pastime and we can
have you know, this kind of agenda on the show. I'm thinking
what a phoney baloney story this is that what is this? How does
this even pass for news?
CBS dude, no, it's Fox. Oh, okay. Well, that's the same
thing run by the same people. Yeah. Makes no difference.
Interesting.
So this is the kind of stuff we try to deconstruct everything we
can. Yes, yes, we do. And so I think we should go into our
pitch. But before we do, we should run the latest and
greatest news hour at the end of the News Hour, which is the PBS
news show, which is as biassed as anything out there, they're
unbiased credit. Roll that in where they tell you who's
actually paying for this.
Okay, so this is PBS, this is a along with NPR, national
treasure. These are programmes that are licenced to be
broadcast, because they are done in the public interest. And they
are underwritten. Although some would say it could be called
advertising sponsorship, call it whatever you want, according to
the president herself, and this is the MacNeil Lehrer news hour.
Well, it
used to be maybe a layer now it's just layer. Yeah. Okay.
Neil's wall and kind of what happened with Neil, he retired.
He, he retired, he's living on a Monsanto compound somewhere, he
may be dead. here's the here's the credit roll.
Major funding for the PBS news hour has been provided by
what the world needs now, his energy, the energy to get the
economy humming again, the energy to tackle challenges like
climate change. What if that energy came from an energy
company, every day Chevron invest $62 million in people and
ideas, seeking, teaching, building, fueling growth around
the world to move us all ahead. This is the power of human
energy,
Chevron, Bank of America committed to helping the
nation's economic recovery. Pacific Life, the power to help
you succeed. bn s BNSF Railway
Grant Thornton the accounts
and by Toyota.
And by the Alfred P Sloan Foundation, supporting science,
technology and improved economic performance and financial
literacy in the 21st century.
And with the ongoing support of these institutions and
foundations.
And this programme was made possible by the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting. And by contributions to your PBS
station from viewers like you. Thank you.
And don't forget your tasty GM snacks on the way out of the
theatre people.
Unbelievable. So we had a chevron Toyota we had
conveniently doing a recall. So that wasn't talked about
Grant Thornton, the accountants? I mean, this is do you think
that they talk about any controversial subjects regarding
these companies or climate change on that programme?
They don't do a lot in that regard. But they they'll they'll
analyse things that have nothing to do with any thing that's
important.
So it's very difficult for people to understand that. In
broadcasting, it is very, very hard to bring up topics that
surround your sponsors. It's a no go area. It's a no fly zone.
And this is why we decided very early, very early on, we don't
want to take any issue even if it's like you know, GoDaddy and
Squarespace we don't care. We don't want we want to be able to
rag on people we want to we want to be able to, to expose fraud,
bring you truth, at first for as far for as far as a couple of
guys read and Google can bring you truth, but at least we're
giving you an analysis of stuff and we have no dog in this hunt,
as they say. No dog in this hunt. And the only way we can
continue to do it is if you actually help us out and donate
to the programme. Now, I must say nice that we had multiple
executive producers. And of course our $5 donations are a
fine base. But it's very difficult, particularly when
we've taken an oath a very solemn oath.
Yeah, and oath of poverty. Which is,
which is the direction we're headed right now. What are we
women? I have a I have a couple of shout outs. I got to do real
quick because sometimes you get a little confused. Jeffrey
Lynch's listens to us every single day. time we have a show
on his massive commute and Gizmo nation low lands. He's having a
rough time right now, but I know he's, he's gearing up to be a
future night. And apparently, Claudia sent us a note that she
sent us 50 bucks for to have her husband's name mentioned for his
40th birthday. Kendall George from Norman Norman, Oklahoma.
But we mentioned Claudia last week. Yeah, no kidding. And
whenever we've got a female on the on the donation list, it
gets highlighted, but it was actually for a happy birthday
wish for Kendall George. So
belated? Yeah, believe it. So we made that mistake a few times.
Yes. Well, you have. Well, so anyway, want to reiterate our
Michael Gogo spungs Berg enterprises, Jordi Ramirez and
Tanya Wayman, our new night, and then we have some of some we
didn't actually have a lot of donations this week. But we did
have a few 50 in the $50 arena, which and I'll just name them
off. This is between me we have DUI help Barry Wilson and OKC
defensive tactics who are on at night programme I thought I'd
mentioned them again. Mark Iacono in New York City Brian
curry of Canal I think u e s ne l British Columbia, guide Brown
of North Sydney, New South Wales and he wanted to donate ever
since the squirrel episode
which I thought was the low the lowest of all lows of our of our
series and you thought was the best he thought was the best.
That was the best and of course it got my wife into trouble.
Yeah with me. Well, there was also this girl that ran under
the car. Also, we also have the donation from the beloved
internet personality rube
in Guilford. Oh, and sorry.
Eric Williams, in Hampshire. Struggling with Guilford has got
to do with it. Dizzy stuff from New Town, New South Wales. And
and then we got 55 Dodge, Santa Cruz, Nina Kuz mi na from
Moscow. Ah, she's the one who got us to put up to know, the
Devora channel DeVore ek.com/in A because she says that in
Russia, you can't get DeVore act.org Because I'm censored
Spasiba That's it. That's it. Yeah, that's it. It's real weird
because we got some good news executive producer, we got like
nobody in between it just a bunch of 50 bucks donations. So
hopefully we can do better. We gotta we gotta, you know the
months ending. So people are going to be getting their
checks. Go to those. No agenda show.com divorce.org/in. A and
channel divorce.com/and. A for you who can't get to the normal.
You know, I don't want to put our situation on any equality
with what's happened to the poor people of Port au Prince and
Haiti. But when you see how people respond to that, and how
they're how much money is being raised Gitmo nation, lowlands,
the Netherlands raised 100 million euros, 100 million year
that's like 100 and $140 million. Jennifer Aniston and
we, we've kind of been tracking this who are the celebrities who
are really cool. She donated $500,000 to Doctors Without
Borders. I'm all for that. You do not want to be donating to
this. This scam set up by former Presidents Bush and Clinton. If
you want to know more about that listen to no agenda 168 I
thought it would be helpful to play the clip of when Bush and
Clinton were on Meet the Press. And so you know, as we
deconstructed last week, the money goes into their fun, but
there's really no fun. So it goes into the Clinton
Foundation, and the and some foundation in Texas that Bush is
a part of. And both of these foundations have collectively
almost a billion dollars in cash, and stocks and bonds, of
course, because they're making money off of trading it. Let's
listen, if you miss this, listen to how these guys are talking
about it. You could just tell that they are bandits. President
Bush, what did you
learn in your government's response to
the tsunami to the disaster response
to Katrina? What lessons did you learn that this administration
should bear in mind?
First of all, it takes time to get the supplies in place. But
that shouldn't deter him. In other words, there's an
expectation amongst people that things are going to happen
quickly. And sometimes it's hard to make things happen.
So he's now actually passed polishing up his own image by
saying, Oh, it takes time, you know, whereas we know that they
just did nothing. Right. Good word, Tony. Yeah, nothing at
all. And while he's on the Katrina topic, there's now a
local recommendation in, in Louisiana in New Orleans. The
media is not allowed to call it the Katrina disaster, because it
was not Katrina that flooded everything. It was the levees
breaking, it was a federal mistake. And the court approved
this mandate on the media. Watch. Oh, you didn't hear about
this? No. Oh, my gosh,
a mandate on the media?
Yes. Well, a mandate as a recommended, you know, like a
strong recommendation. So the the city council that got
together be politically correct. You mean? Yes. Because you know,
it's not they call it the Katrina shorthand. You're not
allowed to use Katrina shorthand, saying the Katrina
disaster. Because, you know, a day after Katrina was already
gone, there was no flooding. It wasn't until the levees broke,
which these poor people have been complaining about for years
saying, you know, this needs to be fixed. And that's the
responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers to make sure those
levees are strong enough. But it doesn't matter anymore. No one
gives a crap about Katrina. And here's Bush trying to polish up
his his lameness of getting FEMA into gear, whether it was his
fault or not. He's responsible that point for FEMA, and it just
didn't happen. So he's like, Oh, take some time to get help on
the ground. Yeah, you gotta get 20,000 Marines and first,
quickly. Secondly, there is a great reservoir of goodwill.
That wants to help. And that's why he asked us to help and
we're glad to do it. I need to put a pitch in for the Clinton
Bush, Haiti fund.org. One of my concerns around any crisis is
that a shyster show up and take advantage of oil. And
right there, the shysters are in front of my very nose. One of my
concerns that shyster show up yeah, like the guy pitching
Clinton bush for haiti.org, which does not exist a non
existent fund, it's a website, and the money goes straight into
your own foundation, the Clinton Foundation and this Texas $600
million dollar fund foundation that it doesn't even exist, and
then you're gonna decide who to give it to. Where's the
accounting?
Yeah, really? Okay, I know where it is, is sitting in the same
folder of the accounting for the Fed.
i We got an analysis from one of our producers who doesn't want
who works in a nonprofit didn't want to be mentioned my name.
For the past two and a half years I've worked as an
accountant for a nonprofit bate, a nonprofit based in Los
Angeles. After hearing you mentioned the annual Clinton
payroll and travel budget, I had to do a double take. I reconcile
our payroll and expense reports every month. If I extrapolate
using my annual numbers to the Clinton payroll, their
foundation would need to have approximately 280 employees
assuming similar salaries to ours. Now, look, 280 employees
for nonprofit is huge. Most nonprofits I deal with have less
than 30 employees and working for nonprofit I can tell you
salaries are tight and usually compare low to similar jobs. If
we can believe that the Clintons are really out to do good, which
I'm sure they are, then your report is great news. We should
encourage more former heads of state to start nonprofits 280
new jobs imagine that maybe this is how the US will save and or
create those jobs. We have been hearing about a new nation truly
devoted to service $30 million in payroll Hmm. He says you can
take that to the bank. You can take that to the bank. It's
unbelievable. We want to hear more love than
clipper we're bushes are saying that give us money and look out
for shysters.
One of my concerns around any crisis is that shyster show up
and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity. Do you
see any
shysters here and drunk?
I think Bush could that be it?
Oh my goodness.
So I need that clip. Yeah, it's
a good clip. And then, so we spoke to Brooks, who was
actually on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
Well, let's before we go to brunch, let's make sure that we
reiterate that we do need some contribution. So go to
divorce.org/n A or no agenda. show.com Yeah,
and don't worry. We're admitted shysters. We're gonna spend it
on bills, hookers and blow okay, we're right up front about it.
Yeah, we'll probably mostly on bills, unfortunately. Yeah, we
got enough money to blow
before I forget. Britney Spears is also contributing She is
donating her skin even fine Haiti on a map she's donating
the silver for Saatchi gown she wore for her high profile
comeback appearance at the 2008 at an awards to kid for that
she's donating it to be auctioned off. So she's helping
for Haiti
Yeah, I'm gonna give all my sins of the consignment shop and send
the profits to Haiti. You know, why
is it the you get a guy like the you know, the Bloomberg reporter
who dies unexpectedly while it while he's trying to figure out
where the $2 trillion dollars that the Federal Reserve stole
went to, you know, effectively he gets to to the head and
Britney Spears gets to live. This is a you know, I gotta hit
the shyster. One more
crisis is that shyster show up and take advantage of people's
goodwill and generosity.
Yeah, exactly.
This shysters stirs shyster,
real shyster. Funny. No, it's, it's, it's not funny. So anyway,
this was kind of interesting. So I found out that it was actually
President Clinton, who put together the deal between Royal
Caribbean cruise lines, the investors and Haiti to buy up
this island Labadie, which is, I guess it's a part of Haiti, but
apparently they own it. And that's where this cruise ship
docks. Now, here's what you didn't hear in the news. So
let's go back and reiterate. Brooks is the producer are one
of the producers of cranky geeks. And he went on a cruise
that happened to be any I really left just before the earth
gorgeous, right at the time of the earthquake. And I remember
when he was leaving, he says, Well, I'm going to be gone for a
week. I guess I won't be stopping in Haiti, like they you
know that that's on the agenda. But he did stop there. And he
says that the whole reporting that was going on about them,
you know, going in there and just partying was was
fallacious? No, no,
he said they did go out and party, but this island Labadie
is 260 miles north of Puerto Prince at the reporting made it
sound like there was just over the fence.
No, I was under the impression from the report that what I
heard when I was listening to the news, because we were
thinking about, this must be Brooks boat. It sounded like
they dropped him off the northern part of the island
where they just all started partying like partying Hardy,
and then there was maybe like a barbed wire fence to keep the
other, the dirty Wells from come coming in and getting their
food.
Yeah, so that wasn't the case at all. And in fact, they raised
$250,000 cash on board. But of course, they made the mistake of
giving it to the Red Cross.
They were they right, they raised over $200,000 on the ship
itself. And according to Brookes, they dropped off a
bunch of food and supplies and stuff that was shipped into the
important print. So they were actually a mercy ship.
In a way well, so that's good. But you know, it just shows you
what kind of reporting you get. And when we of course, copy that
verbatim. Good on us.
You know, the thing Yeah, I mean, that's the reason people
should be giving us some support here because we, I mean, we have
a lot of friends that are you know, first person at these
things that like them in Haiti deal that we show that the media
is doing a really a poor job of reporting anything it was and we
I think are as good as anybody I've heard, especially when you
listen to these talk show guys, the Hannity's and everybody, all
of them, they did, you know, their deconstruction is done by,
you know, low paid staffers, and then they miss a lot of stuff.
And then it's very biassed. I mean, Hannity is, to me, I think
the most, in some ways, the most entertaining and the most
ridiculously biassed die on the air. And it did a survey on his
show about the Obama. Obama thing. I got to post a picture I
took off the screen, because it's just so funny, because the
Obama speech was just as Nick said, who when you talk to him,
yeah, it was pretty good speech. Yeah, well, it was you know, for
for Nick, it was probably a pretty good speech. If you
haven't heard Obama talk before. It was basically another Obama
speech. That was
it was another great performance, great performance.
He
had his they surveyed their listeners, and it was like 2%
thought it was really a good speech. 3% thought it was just
neutral and it's only 85% thought it really was terrible.
And I'm thinking this is not even why are you even putting
this
Why are you why are you even watching is my question
software.
I think he's the most entertaining of the group
because he's so by so he's so knee jerk
under the heading and not good for you. And Gitmo nation east
the United Kingdom. Kids are now starting to drop dead from this
stuff you can get off the Internet called message drone.
Have you ever heard of this? No, I don't know anything about it.
Me. Phed r o n e, maybe you can get some of the the chemical
analysis method drone, better known as meow meow. And people
who saw it and it's legal to sell this people are selling off
websites making about 25,000 pounds a week. Cheap drug gives
a similar high to that of ecstasy and amphetamine. So you
know, this shit is going to be outlawed pretty quick, because
we need you kids on heroin. We need your kids on the good
stuff. So kids are dropping dead from this over there, which is
it's kind of like a I guess it's kind of like a date rape type
drug where you kind of go like ghp we kind of go lethargic. But
I'm not quite sure why this is legal or what it is. It looks
kind of like a packet of the silicone you get when you buy a
new laptop. Maybe it is that stuff. I don't know. Kids be
snorting. But more interesting is there seems to be a rogue
manufacturer of Botox. And the feds are very worried about it.
Because if there is actually someone out there, and the
prospect is that it's a factory in Chechnya, churning out raw
botulinum toxin. That means that someone could have enough dope
of this stuff to go kill people with because you know, if you
have the you have the raw stuff, one drop. one grain of this
stuff can take botulism. Yeah. So I think that what's next is
they're going to outlaw Botox. They've already been trying to
tax the thing. And there's a fascinating story from The
Washington Post, which I'll put in the show notes, no agenda
show.com You want to check it out? If you're a user of the
Botox? John, you might look kind of look good with some Botox.
It's too late for me. No, not at all. That's not true. have you
investigated this who gave you that advice? That's not true.
I looked in the mirror I said Oh, too late. And then of this
stuff is to methyl amino one P Tolly. Pro pan. One One, also
known as methyl methyl methyl casiotone. They have troubles
chemistry is that there's about there's about that I know that
at least three or four major naming conventions and then
there's a whole bunch of spin offs. So there's all these
different words for it until you run into when it might be methyl
Dedrone this has some damage. This has something to do with
ephedrine.
Well, he derived actually is quite good news if we're having
a business that sold as ecstasy and nobody noticed.
That's that's called meow meow.
That was another thing that the kid should avoid. Yeah, all the
kids don't have enough trouble. Here's a story that I thought I
got a blog and Disgust is one of the more more annoying things
going on, which is the which is the mark which is the the
watering down by reprehensible of government officials the
watering down of the sex offenders situation where you
are now putting some guy who pees in the park on the same sex
offender list as a guy as a 50 year old man who kidnaps a six
year old of rapes and murders her saying thing according to
these people, so here's what's going on now. This is an
appraisal which is some I don't know what state this is in,
don't have it doesn't say to Ben Franklin middle school students
who Valparaiso police said we're caught using their cell phones
to exchange nude pictures of each other, just called sexting
sexting are facing criminal charges. A 13 year old girl and
a 12 year old boy were referred to juvenile probation on the
charges of possession of child pornography and child
exploitation. In adult court charges would carry a maximum
penalty of 11 years and prisons blah, blah, blah goes on.
They're gonna be on the sex offenders list. So this is
basically what they've done is they've criminalised and made
sex offenders out of kids who are playing the I'll show you
mine if you show me yours game, which I think kids do. If I'm
not mistaken. I plead the fifth. The point is, is that these are
not these kids who are taking nude pictures of each of
themselves. And by the way, when did pornography I thought I
always thought that pornography and it actually entailed some
insertion or some sort of something other than just a
naked picture of yourself. Oh, no,
no. And of course, the crazy thing is that body scanners are
not pornography, and that doesn't any and if you're
operating with one of these machines, you don't fall under
the sex offender law where of course you should.
Yeah, I think so too. But if you're going to take it to an
extreme, and you're going to make every kid who's sexting,
you know taking you know somebody taking a picture of
themselves into sex offenders I mean, the whole thing is is
disgusting to be honest about it because what they've done is
that they've so this little 12 year old girl or boy and a 13
year old girl, they're going to be categorised the same as a
murderer or a rapist in the in this in the sex offenders deal
where you have to be trapped for the rest of your life going from
town to town and the GAO pees in the park same thing I'm not
getting what unless they actually wanted to water down
the you know, really bad guys put mix it up so much that
everybody's on the list and so it doesn't make any difference
anymore, which is a possibility I suppose. But your theory where
you think everybody in high offices paedophile? I mean, that
could be but it's an unbelievable trend. Nobody's
gonna say anything about it because all you know, Joe child
porn is bad. But now I wonder what what, what is the
definition of child porn? Because this takes me back to
the label of a bottle of Mouton Rothschild that came out I think
it was the 73 Vintage may be or the I think was a 73 or
something like that. There was and then moved on. Raja always
has a little piece of art on the label. And there was some it was
a painting drawing of some kid a little young kid just like a
naked picture, but it wasn't even descript I mean, it was
just, it was just a very vague drawing. You can people can look
up John Ross child porn label and they probably find a picture
of it on the net. Anyway, they banned it all. It's it's child
porn. And I'm thinking how is this child porn? Where's the
porn part of A? And where's the child? I mean, there's no child.
There's no porn, but it's child porn. So it's like everything is
being lumped into this thing and these poor kids for sexting,
which by the way, 40% of teenagers apparently do this.
It's just I don't know I find the whole thing reprehensible
John C. Dvorak.
I agree with you John. And I have a couple of different
theories about this. First of all, is the sickness it is to
dichotomize your brain because of course on television all you
see is Viagra ads, Cialis ads, you know, this is all about
about having sex, every commercial every other
commercial has a sexual tint to it. So I believe it's the in
some ways meant as a Mind Control major to confuse your
brain on the other hand, yes, I do believe that in high
government circles there is a large infiltrate a large portion
of that population Arpita paedophiles and certainly in
some countries more than others and that you know, they like to
distract attention from themselves make themselves look
like they're all against it, which is very typical, by the
way for all to all sorts of criminals. Oh, I'm I'm
completely against it. Like look at the Wall Street guys is the
same thing. They're all against No stealing and, and, and
shysters. Thank you. There you go. That's exactly the same
mentality. Oh, you know, I hate shysters who's gonna say that
the biggest shyster himself? We have a saying in Holland you
write yourself being yourself is what you say is what you are.
And these these sayings don't exist just for no reason and
probably even more evil is they want to get these kids into into
juvenile homes so they can be abused by the very same people
who are trying to make it up these crazy as laws. There's so
much abuse going on in these systems. Child Protection
Services. Give me a break.
If people want to look something up this kind of interesting.
Look up Boys Town scandal. Yeah,
this is the channel for that the ITV documentary you have to see.
Yeah, yeah. And try to find the ITV documentary, which was only
which apparently was banned. It was taken off the air and they
destroyed all copies. But there was one VHS tape floating
around, which is still visible on Google, on their Google
videos, not to YouTube. And you should just watch it. I mean,
it's it happens and it's just all city corruption. And in
fact, that sounded to me as though the entire state of
Nebraska is completely corrupt. And it looked as though then
which is which explains that crazy thing that happened in
fact was brought up in a Katie Couric interview with Rahm
Emanuel which actually have for today's show if you want to run
it, which he brings it up where Nebraska got a sweet deal on the
health care bill. Wow, some unknown reason.
Wow, very interesting combination. So let me just
briefly about this documentary. It's actually I slipped into the
shownotes. I think two shows ago, I'll put it in again. It's,
I think it's called conspiracy of silence. No. Maybe it's
paedophilia in the USA, it doesn't matter. But it goes all
the way up to the Bush senior White House. And, of course,
some of the people who are involved in this scandal because
it was a scandal are dead suicided but it did take place
in Nebraska. And it was in the highest echelons of politics in
this place called Boystown USA originally set up by a Father
Flanagan, I believe, but at the time, heavy involvement from
this guy and called Lauren's King. For short. It was Larry
King's obviously not the not the old white dude. As a black guy.
Yeah. And if you watch that light Republican, you know, and
it's it's very disturbing. And it's exactly what it is these
these boys are being taken out of the Boys Town USA, being
taken to a high end parties with politicians and people of ink in
Washington, DC, they shouldn't be flying and flown in, they're
abused, and then sent back. And then of course, brainwashed that
nothing happened and is really disgusting. But it's a real
television documentary and several senators who were
involved in this bought the station off I think they paid at
the time $250,000 For not to air, which seems like a minimal
amount. I'm sure there was other pressure going on. But it was I
think was an independent producers who got who had to get
paid off. And so now indeed, very interesting to see. And I
want to play this Rahm Emanuel interview. That Nebraska got
this huge payoff. This was around the Medicare payments I
believe.
This is This was before the This interview was Katie Couric. This
is an interesting interview for a couple of reasons. It took
place before the speech, and it was about what Obama is going to
say but correct if she actually occurred was like this all the
time, she would really get a lot of attention because she was
very mean, she was she was asking crazy questions that were
off of manual did two or three takes to triple blinks. And then
he hadn't had wiggles and whoa, and the kind of you know, all
those kinds of things you do when you're being confronted by
a crazy person. And but it's but I tried to say well, this is
where maybe correct she knows she's gonna lose her job. And so
she's now she's becoming really aggressive as an interviewer.
And I realised No, she's just irked by the fact that Obama you
know that they lost Massachusetts. She's like a real
Democrat. She's arrived at the last Massachusetts so she jumps
all over Rahm Emanuel and she gives him nothing but crap. And
but she does bring up this Nebraska thing about how they
got a sweet deal in Nebraska. Why,
um, his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, I began by asking him
what mistakes the President will acknowledge tonight,
he is not going to sit there and kind of list a set of mistakes.
In his view, what he will do is in a couple places in the
speech, talk, take responsibility where he could
have done things different or better, like what it says the
communicating explain the challenges we had in the hour,
and what were the missions of what he was setting out for the
country to do or tackle in areas of health care?
Will you scale back and compromise some of your goals?
Or will you try to keep basically the same legislation
in place?
I think the objectives will never change. Okay, so the
decision now was, he
never had you to go forward.
The notion of Now why would he he's wrong. manjo you don't want
to get suicided
not doing something is off the
table. The President says he wants to work with Republicans,
but that really hasn't happened so far. So what makes you think
it will now
the President will continue to reach out to Republicans offer
them the chance to work together? I do think now that
the Republicans clearly have 41 seat with that ability comes
accountability. Who will have responsibility in this country?
It's funny because, you know, Mickey was in Los Angeles and
you know, hanging out with all our democratic actor friends.
And, and this came up she says no, because you walked in right,
as the State of the Union was about to start just well, you
know, the Democrats or the Republicans you know, they're
making it hard they you know, they're they're not cooperating.
I said, they don't need the Republicans they can put they
have enough votes to pass anything they want. Yeah, but
you're the Republican and even Bhama even made mention of this
in the State of the Union. Oh, well, you know, they've got a
filibuster. So that can be removed at any point. You can
just have a vote remove the fear Little Buster rule, but they
don't want to do that because they want to use it themselves.
The whole 41 thing oh, now the Republicans are responsible for
everything is so bogus.
Anyway, the Republicans either
let's let's play the rest of the hex and the choices we make.
As you know, people are pretty disgusted by deals that were
made up on Capitol Hill like the one given to Ben Nelson to win
his support. If the White House was so involved with this done
with your blessing.
We were involved in the legislation all the way through
we involved in that not going
to go through all of it.
Why get why till you Katie Couric, you're just media you
have to do what I say biatch what I pay you for no deal.
We were helpful in getting the bill off the Senate floor. And
in retrospect to things as I said to you just earlier, things
you would have done different.
You're considered a master political operative. You were
the guy four years ago course who orchestrated the democratic
takeover of the house. Where were you when Massachusetts was
going down in flames for the Democrats? Well, I
mean, it was brought to my attention or the White House
attention, we immediately got involved in it. I suppose Katie
could say that I'm responsible for not having done more at the
White House. But I think that I think your
analysis is spot on John, this is the kind of question you'd
ask it like the drinking club. Hey, dude, where were you? Where
were you Mr. Big man, Mr. Nine and a half fingers where were
you? Where were you when this was going down?
She gets meaner Listen,
period of time between her winning the primary and us
getting a phone call to get involved. Were immediately up
there with whatever resources they asked for and more.
Would you say you dropped the ball
high Rahm Emanuel
Rahm Emanuel
Lincoln a lot by the way, that I
Rahm Emanuel Rahm Emanuel dropped the ball. And did he
throw a shocker at her right there?
That'll back it up? For a question. But you have to
imagine him blinking like a maniac.
He's like, Are you Are you seriously questioning me? The
centre of Chicago Hitman politics Rahm Emanuel as
dropping the ball between her
winning the primary and us getting a phone call to get
involved. We were immediately up there with whatever resources
they asked for and more. Would you say you dropped the ball? I
Rahm Emanuel for White House. Democrats, your Katie Couric,
Katie Couric. You know, I don't want to re litigate this, but
there's no doubt in my mind my mind, we could have won that
race.
Me meanwhile, I asked Emmanuelle, if his job is
secure, he said, as long as the president wants me, I'm here.
CBS News will of course.
Emanuel wants to get out by the way. He wants I'm sure he wants
to get out. He wants to jump this ship. Big time.
I would I wouldn't argue that because he can't it's gotta be
thankless. And I honestly Where's what he's getting out of
it. It's gotta be a nightmarish job. He's working, you know,
probably not getting much sleep and you have to be all doped up
to even be effective.
Alright, I got a good two quick topics which are not to be
overlooked. John. This is from the BBC, I have not heard or
seen any of this anywhere in the United States press is from the
Financial Times. General Stanley McChrystal. This is the last job
who sleeps three hours a night and looks like the Cryptkeeper.
He says there's been enough fighting in Afghanistan. He says
it's time for a political solution. Unlike Wow, this is
the guy who was begging for, you know, 40,000 troops. Yeah, he
actually says the arrival of the extra 30,000 troops pledged by
President Obama and the additional 7000 troops promised
by other NATO countries should deliver very demonstrable
positive progress in 2010. He says, you know, the Taliban are
at this point, part of the political fabric of the country
now and to that, and this really blew me away. The UN Security
Council Committee announced Tuesday, it has lifted sanctions
against five former Taliban officials. And they've been
trying to do the Russia has been blocking this. This this
movement to you know, to basically lift the sanctions,
they finally agreed. They said, Yeah, you know what, let's say
we should just lift all these sanctions. And I think I think
that they're trying to settle it, John. I think they're
actually trying to buy the Taliban off and settle this
thing. And just, you know, work it all out. Hey, look, here's
just the way I would see it. Look at you know, this is
senseless. It's like, you know, we're the You know, the PBS even
reported on this, the trucking supplies come supply companies
who are funded by US tax dollars, they pay off the
Taliban to get a free ride, not a free ride, but a safe ride up
to the troops. So you know, our money is going to the same guys.
We're fighting Taliban, by the way, you know, they didn't they
didn't bring down the World Trade centres, if that's what
you believe it was Al Qaeda, which is now admitted many times
over is a fake name. It's a brand invented by the CIA. So
this thing is just a big quagmire and and we'll have the
end of the day, it's all about the the pipeline and the drugs
like Look, why don't we just we'll just split the money with
you guys. Let's take it easy. We'll you know, once in a while,
we'll give a couple of guys to the head to make it look like
the war still going on? Well, that those crazy Blackwater guys
do it, you know, meanwhile, we'll blow some shit in
Pakistan. And let's just split the dough and get the drugs
rolling in the pipeline moving, they are going for a complete
settlement. The war is effectively over
cars. I came out with a comment the other day. He was kind of
maybe indicating something similar to that, but insisted
that Afghanistan is going to need the help. They're gonna
need help. For the next 15 years is very specific, which I
thought was peculiar.
I think I have that clip. Actually, let me see what I have
here. For Karzai, this is him talking on the BBC last week,
I was interested in in reconciliation and in bringing
the Taliban back to their own country many, many years ago.
The difference this time is that now we have the backing of our
partners of the United States.
So it's our partners,
our partners in this
table for other allies in Europe
and their allies.
And of the countries in the region, there is a broader
understanding on the need for reconsideration and on relations
with Pakistan, where we have a better understanding of our
situations have suffered as well. Most important of all, now
we have a concrete plan of action, every sourced one that
would provide opportunities for those Taliban who return
Oh, I know what it is jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote
for jobs.
One thing that had to have occurred if you think about the
history of the Taliban in this area and their crazy governance
is that they're they were the ones that for what some reason
or other were burning up the poppy fields and making you know
saying Nope, we're not going to be doing any more of that
business
they were getting rid of it exactly it was
to now agreed so the battle had to be between pro Poppy growing
and not and not Poppy growing and the Taliban have you had to
have agreed for some reason or other that okay, we'll be we
will we will be part of this business that we're running in
in Afghanistan of growing poppies and making heroin to be
shipped to the idiots in Europe they must have been convinced
that well the Europeans are so corrupt and the only way that
the the new caliphate is ever going to reform is you let the
Europeans kill themselves with this stuff why what difference
does it make to you? You should be encouraging and not tearing
down the poppy fields and maybe there's some you know, debate
that went on for the last couple of years with the Taliban maybe
have seen the light and said hey, yeah, okay well you can
grow the poppies as long as we get a piece of the action and it
will try to you know, settle down into some manageable
situation that's the only thing I can think of happened yeah
well I'm gonna contention is the poppy field Yeah, of
course well and the oil pipeline obvious
I think the pipeline I mean they were probably getting royalties
for that anyway they want people
to have jobs build them Poppy so many jobs
that over the next few years because of poppy thing is that
you know, separately occasional you know, photo op, where the
video somebody in the army says, Well, look, we found another
poppy field. Unbelievable. We're burning it, watch. Take a
picture. We're burning it.
But actually, they're burning corn in the field and
burning it after it's been harvested because people don't
even know what a poppy field looks like. No, of course not.
And work could be a cornfield. You're right. But anyway, the
point is, is that they're going to now it seems to me if this is
what you know, our theory is, which is the whole thing is
about opium. If our theory is correct, that means the price a
heroine will drop drastically over the next two or three
years. Because they're a commodity investor now Yeah,
yeah, and we need to do that because meow meow is is cutting
into the market. We need to get rid of that shit. Get rid of the
coke get rid of the meow meow get rid of the II and get
everyone on heroin, it's good for you.
I want to say heroin epidemic in the 70s, which is a year, I
think there was a lot of activity going on. In fact,
there was a number of movies made about Afghanistan being the
Paris of the, you know, of that part of the world. And they had
the hippies were moving to Afghanistan. It was like, it was
a party town. It's crazy, dude. And that was like a 72,
something like that. And that's when there was, you know, people
were getting strung out on heroin, and there was the song
by Steely Dan chasing the dragon, which is a reference to
smoking it. And sounds right.
All right, then. I've got one more, which is very worrisome.
It's actually a YouTube clip of Canadian news broadcast to go
along with this, which I bumped into. And I did some research
and found a couple of acids, a very good sort of very well
sourced article with with links. This is about the upcoming
Olympics in Canada. I believe it's in Vancouver, right, the
Winter Olympics in Vancouver. So there is a high likelihood
according to sources that there could be a false flag terror
attack on the Olympics. And you have to understand upfront that
a deal has already been struck if something happens up there.
US troops moving to Canada
and is actually buying this one. Well,
I got the news reports. I'll play that in a second. So first
of all, what's happened is 6000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate has
gone missing from a storage facility in the Vancouver area.
Wow. 6000 tonnes? Yes. And what is
the nitrate Vancouver? Thank
you. And this is from a company that was recently bought for $22
billion. So the company that lost 6000 tonnes of ammonium
nitrate was purchased for $22 billion by Goldman Sachs, AIG,
the Carlyle Group, amongst others. The company was called
Kinder Morgan, either Kinder or Kinder Kinder will be kind of
funnier. Kinder Morgan is kinder. Yeah, I know. But it
sounds better. They did not report these two tonnes missing
for over two months due to a clerical error. A John you see
not 6000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate anywhere. I missed it.
I think it's in my backyard.
So listen to the news reports from Canada. And you will,
you'll get a little better view as to what is possible that
could happen and why this would happen. And of course that would
be to bring in the North American union with the true
spotty scanners could soon land at an airport near you. CBC News
has confirmed the federal government plans to introduce
the high tech scanners and all of Canada's major airports and
transportation ministers in fact holding a news conference this
afternoon to outline the new security of breaking news from
Ottawa for weeks we've been hearing that Prime Minister
Stephen Harper was considering asking the Governor General to
suspend Parliament now he's got
this remote with the American army crossing the border into
Canada. That is part of the plan if there's a major emergency
during the Olympics,
just three weeks before the Olympic Games to tonnes of
explosive material missing from a surgery storage facility still
isn't accounted for. She can use ropes for missing them ammonium
nitrate earlier this month. And tonight we have learned how the
Mounties are stepping up their search for
that's the part I missed by the way that the government has been
suspended conveniently during all of this.
So what is music in the background?
One of those YouTube things where they try to produce it.
Hold on this more. I don't like the music either.
These guys are trying to dramatise things that give me a
break. Hey, you guys would do that stuff. Stop stop doing
that. Yeah.
The apparatus of Olympic security is becoming apparent
along with the fencing around venues are the security cameras.
Hundreds of the claims is live outside GM place where the
cameras were put in today, Kurt
and Laurie, if you live around here or you're planning on
attending an event at GM or PC place, chances are you will be
on camera. The question is what to do with them after the games.
The words are alarming. Last night we reported on the US
State Department travel advisory for people coming here during
the 2010 Winter Olympics. US officials are telling visitors
that our games could be a prime target for al Qaeda terrorists.
So all we need now is an exercise we need to drill. We
just need just be able to look out for someone doing an ad
terrorist at a an anti terrorist drill around the Olympics and
they know what's gonna happen.
Yeah, they said it'd be that song was maybe like a code or
something to just to tell it warn people. So in other words,
the drill takes place, do yourself a favour and dog do
something, you know that was obviously related are going to
be related. Could be I mean, I mean, you have your list of
coincidences. Ah, you are. I think that I think is valid.
Thank you.
And on that note on that note,
before you, bro, I got one more thing, but it would be
depressing, more depressing. Oh, good. Let's, here's a new meme
that this is a long clip. But y'all play it to a to a point,
which is maybe a minute in. But there's a new meme that people
have to keep an eye out for I started first heard on some
right wing talkers. And then I ran into this PBS thing. And
that is that there's going to be some sort of an attack within
the next four years, the weapons of mass destruction. And the
mean very slowly evolved into the weapons of mass destruction
will probably be a bio weapon.
Botulism
could be it's a good point as a nice, that's a nice catch. But
there's going to be an attack of some sort. And we are ill
prepared to deal with it, which is another which was a
combination product here we're dealing with in terms of a
meeting. But this is an interview that took place with a
couple guys, yes, or whatever they do this report every so
often about our readiness. And it turns out that our readiness
is close to nil. And Where's where's this from this report?
This is on this was on your news, our sponsored by Chevron,
oh, and Toyota and carry buddy, Monsanto. Here we go.
Being here. Let's start with your assessment. Actually, 14
months ago, is there any doubt in your mind, and I'll begin
with you, Senator Graham, but either of you that the threat
remains as you assessed it, then that within the next four years,
it is likely or more likely than not that some terrorist
somewhere in the world will use weapons of mass destruction.
If anything, the odds that we gave a year ago, which was more
likely than not have probably gone up in the past 14 months.
That is it is higher than just a straight, slightly more than
5050. That someplace on Earth, a terrorist group will use a
weapon of mass destruction between now and the end of 2013.
And the reason for that is that accessibility, particularly of
biological materials has increased. The sophistication of
al Qaeda, as we saw on Christmas Day, has become if anything,
put into the guy's crotch sophistication. dication
brighter and more diffused. We believe that the risk is real
and
growing. And this was a unanimous find
out and we'll reduce, we'll reach a probability by around
2013. Of course, we didn't have Intel telling us the attacks
gonna occur in 2013. But if you look at the trend lines, it's a
short term risk. That's that was our point. This is not the next
generation that has to
worry about when you say trend lines briefly, what do you mean?
Well, although we're
doing things we're making progress in particular areas as
a government and with allies, they are active also. And it's
like we're running but they're running faster.
Alright, so let's take one of the F that I think made everyone
the most nervous, which was that a system still hadn't been
developed to respond quickly to a buyer, bioterror attack. Are
you talking about what
you know who's who who's really heavily the is a Israel as does
drills all the time for bioterror attacks? With a with a
whole population, everyone knows like the duck and cover stuff.
Everybody knows what what to do. They did one just two weeks ago.
Yeah, we don't do that. With any mass casualties. What do you
mean by
that? No, we take pictures of your naked
Oh, first, we mean deterrence. The reality is that if a
terrorist gains access to a biological weapon, they're going
to ask themselves where can we use this weapon to the greatest
effect. So, the degree to which you are prepared to respond to
it becomes a significant amount of your deterrence that it will
not be used against you. But if you are attacked, the adequacy
of your response capabilities can reduce the number of
casualties into the 1000s not the 10s or hundreds of 1000s and
therefore make it something less than a mass destructive of
Senator talent. What is missing in that area? What hasn't been,
unfortunately about everything is missing, but we've not
stockpiled the countermeasures. We didn't even have enough
vaccines for h one n one was six months notice. We don't have a
plan systems for distributing the
oh okay, so we have to stock up on on anti anti bio crap.
I guess apparently you had to stock up on everything and you
know, you have vaccines for anthrax, which are incredibly
dangerous and all these other things, I guess I have no idea.
I mean, yeah, all I know is I'm seeing the meme. I'm not sure
what the end game is, probably is to spend a bunch of money.
And I have no idea if there's some phoney baloney false flag
event in Vancouver that will just expediate these things. In
other words, that what we're hearing here is a prelude to a
kind of less panic the American public again and get them to
cough up a bunch of money, and then be leery of everything and
put up with the scanners that you're going to be have at the
airport. So these guys can get their rocks off. Not that that's
what they're doing. But come on. And I don't know, just the whole
thing. I mean, I just keep seeing these demean hearing it
and so I'm thinking something's up. And it's going to resolve
itself probably within the next month or two. And we'll discuss
it in great detail if we're still in where we have it as
like everything else we do on this show. And we've done it
from the h1 and one and even before we are we're so far ahead
of the game, the
the financial crisis, I call the stock market exactly by the way
as to what the low would be h one and one we've called all of
this stuff tight and it gets to the point where by the time
everyone's like, Oh, that was a scam they forgotten that we were
the one selling it was a scam.
So this is this is a new one. This is a new scam coming up.
It's just cropping up in too many of the places you know this
like we were talking about as the intelligence agencies will
have these things planted so they can get the word out. These
this meme is cropping up in all the right places. It just keeps
cropping up here and there and here and there all the places
that are you know, get the you know the word out. And so next
stage twos coming up and I don't know what that's gonna be. It
could be this Vancouver do the Vancouver thing could be a red
herring
pushed NGOs would be the would be the more and so therefore
people want to help Why stir show up and take my concerns
around any crisis is that a shyster show up and take
advantage.
That's got to be the title of the show. Is that with a YYSHY
ste
RS
shysters? So of course, just talking in this way that is
actually terror. This is actually what terror is all
about, about frightening people. And you know what? I just gotta
say it again. You have all the tools to be happy and the fight
this within yourself, okay? You can be a happy person. Just look
at John and I were happy with the result incredibly happy. And
we and we are what we're we are proud to serve you. And keep an
eye out for the shysters that show up?
Yes. And we will be happier. By the way if you go to the no
