Adam curry. John C. Dvorak
may 13 2010 time here Gitmo nation media assassination
Episode One Niner Niner. This is no agenda screw me. When did you
do chainsaw? Let's do it
again. All right. Ready? Yeah, hit it.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
May 13 2010 Time for your gizmo nation media assassination,
episode one Niner Niner. This is no agenda, partying like it's
episode 199. And coming to you from the hilltop Watchtower
crackpot command centre and get my nation West in the People's
Republic of Southern California. Yay. In the morning, I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the sun is always shining,
except when it's not. I'm John C. Dvorak and buzzkill in the
morning, in the morning to you and to everyone listening into
those at sea. Can you say that? You used to be a common that for
ships
to people from all lands and ships at sea. This is the is the
BBC News to to do to do to tutored
by news this news over the last few days.
Well, I wonder if you if you don't mind if I just do a little
bit of
why would I mind that? I think that's the best part of the
show.
So two episodes ago, I made a bold prediction on this
programme. Regarding the next oil rig disaster. Do you recall
my bold prediction John?
No, but I'm guessing it would have to be Venezuela. I don't
remember it personally.
Well, no, it was the Caribbean. I said look for the next one in
the Caribbean. Okay. And if you read the news report properly,
you would see that this Venezuelan natural gas platform
which is now sunken into the Caribbean, off of Trinidad,
Tobago and Trinidad Tobago. Now okay. So let me just do it
again.
How did I know it? How did I know it? Because it's a setup.
This is you know, Chavez is now in on the game.
You know, I don't think that's true. Let me tell you what I
think okay, I think it's probably they may he may have
been lured into the game because he's an idiot.
Okay. Oh, I'll take that.
And the reason that he wants to be in the game, because
essentially what Chavez gets to do here, he says, Look, we had
problems with our platform, too. But nobody was killed. And note
and zinc didn't catch on fire, and we got to cut it off the
flow. So nothing's leaking. We're better than you are.
Well, everyone gets a bene when they play along with the game. I
mean, he's not just going to do it for no reason.
So he gets to tell his people who have to listen to his crap
on a day, or what's it a weekly TV show? You know, the Hugo
Chavez show.
It's kind of like no agenda only on real TV.
He probably has the right I'm sure he has a bigger audience
than we do. But, but not as smart and audience obviously,
they wouldn't be watching it.
Or they wouldn't be telling me where the next oil cabal would
strike, which of course was exactly right. I didn't dream
this up by myself, obviously.
So anyway, the we just we should do a Hugo Chavez show, it'd be
nice to get somebody to give us a clip, an audio clip of the
intro to the show where they, you know, I'm sure that the Hugo
Chavez show in the morning. I liked the clip of that.
Anyway, so this is part of the album, gas company. So I haven't
even had time to research them. But as predicted in the
Caribbean, because the whole thing is a setup. The idea is to
spike the prices of oil and gas. And we could talk a lot about
that. I have a I have a really funny clip later from Geraldo.
Somehow, some of this propaganda is running.
Well, let's before we get into that, let's go and thank our
executive producers.
Okay, we have more than one that's always good news.
We have two we have two executive producers and no
Associate Executive producers and the curious thing again, is
that we have over Random Number aspect to this we have two
people that pretty much donated back to back from two different
parts of the world this exact same amount of money. Wow. Okay,
so we have Matthew Greene Smith from Melbourne, Victoria
Australia. He also says thanks for the great show the closest
read Matthew green Smith you said
green SMITH Yeah. And get this spreadsheet spreadsheet you know
people put stuff in spreadsheets unfortunately we have to add
this but
like spreadsheet was did kind of revolutionise the computer the
personal computer,
I don't mind it revolutionising it. But people I run into
constantly send memos written on a spreadsheet that did that. Who
do I know that's got one the other day somebody said sent me
it was like, here's the list of this, that and the other thing
that was all on a spreadsheet, so I had to boot Excel. But
that's a gripe to me. Because on one of my machines, it doesn't
work right.
In the morning, John and Adam, thanks for the great show. I
think your show comes the closest I've seen to the model
that will replace the Nothing to see here that has taken over the
the news we used to have my donation is to support the
continuation of that process. Hope to see you and get mowed
down under soon. Oh, and we have a D word call out to Simon
Alicia, who needs to recognise the value he's receiving and pay
up.
She for some reason, my spreadsheet is an idea.
So of course Matthew. Come in with the first of his three is
this the first of his three instalments for no is nice.
But it's $333.33 which is a good number for us. And it's a lucky
number for everybody and our other executive producers Adam
Miller, who is now sir Adam Miller are not officially while
he will be by the end of the show. Yes, she's right now until
for he's got a small window of being just plain
just plain old Adam Miller at the M nothing space YALI.
Perry Ville Missoura as well, so gave us $333.33 into these are
both within like, like 10 minutes of each other? Well,
this
was get a kick out of that. This is awesome. So those are our
guys. Even though we don't have a Associate Executive Producer.
We do have a PR associate for today. And that might be well
first, let me mention a couple of initiatives as I like to do
at the top of the show. We have another kind of site that's out
there. It's not a cool domain name, but I did want to mention
it No agenda.status.net Of course all of these are put into
the show notes of no agenda show.com Do we
have a master list someplace have all these linked sites?
Well,
all of them are in the show notes on their links that rock
on every single show.
Do we have the guy who did the I just got
no. We have no agenda network.com which is starting to
really list all of
the okay, because we got the guy who does the floor mats. I got
my floor mat actually said to I think one is supposed to go to
you.
You think I'm you. I want my floor mat. I'm coming to San
Francisco next week.
I'll give you your floor mat. Yeah,
I'll have to bring an extra big suitcase
it's not that I mean it's not a monster it's not a rug it's a
floor mat it's like you know just a small it's not small. But
as you'll see it it's perfect for the kitchen no agenda in the
morning is quite nice and perfect for
the kitchen.
It's perfect for the kitchen right
does it come in multiple colours?
No it's black with the no agenda logo and the one of the logo no
one of the many have no agenda logos and the in the morning,
Monica
Yeah. Hey, would you mind Twitter tweeting twittering have
you done already did Oh good. Okay, then we have another great
initiative actually installed this myself. This is from Brent
Mosley. Adam and John I just got done creating a no agenda
browser toolbar. Now normally I hate toolbars I don't instal
them I find them to be malware etc but he's uh he's created one
which I'm just gonna have to presume is safe I installed it
and so far everything's still running the features include an
easy embedded no agenda stream player easy access to the no
agenda chat room compilation of the links that rock section
which is nice it's done in like in a hierarchical drop down menu
so you can find all these sites Twitter reader, which is full
which follows no agenda, Adam curry and the real divorce tech
and no agenda RSS feed embedded streaming of tea. The news from
across Gitmo nation one click Page translation. A Google
search bar customised no agenda network search possibility on
its way, and a direct link to the donation page. not
unimportant. So I think that's cool. And you can find more than
cool. Yeah, no agenda toolbar dot our toolbar.com. This will
also be in the show notes.
Don't you think that deserves an associate public relations
thing? No.
Well, you know, we only have one PR associate per episode and I
haven't even gotten there yet. So it's a with right it's a with
commendation. I mentioned with commendation, let's put it that
way. Then I got to I can't ignore the fact that several
people nominated you to be PR associate of the of the week.
For your work on this week in technology. Leo's twit show
people thought you did an excellent job particularly when
you when Callie said in the morning and then you said in the
morning
was already funny. Yeah, it was actually I should we should clip
that out. Yeah. When she said in the morning should in the
morning. Yeah. And
again, now I'm now as I tell people about the PR associate.
I'm going to send you this picture. I purposely held off on
sending it to you because I wanted you to get the full
effect of the surprise. You know, one of the people who
listen to the show is Pat Wilson from Weezer. He's we've had an
email with him back and forth. You remember this? Yeah,
I'm waiting for the photo.
Do you know I haven't sent it yet. Do you know the band
Weezer? Actually, John?
No, I don't I don't listen to bands anymore.
What do you listen to then? Classical music
and bands don't perform that what is it comes out of major
orchestras. Oh, okay. I don't have anything handy. They here.
I do have something handy. Hold on. I'll play you a little bit
of wheat. You'll say oh, yeah, those guys. They've had some
huge hits,
I guess and the photo. I'm gonna send the
photo. Here's one of their many hits. I'm playing this from the
iTunes Music Store
Yeah, I've heard these guys. Okay, well, there I am familiar
with the Bear Bear. They're actually outstanding. This is
their big head. Right. Okay, they have a big sound. Yeah,
it's a good sound. I like the big sound
so so Monday night on the George Lopez show, which I believe is
on TNT
or some something like
that. They are performing on the show. Also, so they taped this
last night and he sent me a picture also on the show as
Donald Trump and I just want you to see what they will be
wearing. Waiting for except John on the Skype file transfer There
you go look at what they will be wearing on the show and people
will freak out when they because of course you're gonna have to
watch on Monday but I wanted to make Pat Wilson and Weezer the
PR associate for no agenda episode one nine or nine or I'm
waiting for your reaction. It's cute. Cute, it's awesome.
In the morning
so we tell the audience what yeah, we
have Trump in the picture while the picture will be linked in
the show notes. Because again, a bunny costume another guy they
watch the guys from Weezer. Yes, the guys from Weezer's Weezer
guitarist and the Trump and lead singer in a bunny outfits with a
crown or something. I don't know what they're dressed in the
morning sash. I mean, it couldn't be any bigger. Yeah,
no. Come on that there are official band now.
That's right. Weezer the official band have no agenda. I
love it. All right. So we want to thank Matthew,
looking like what he's totally you know, I would ask what do
you what is this? Why am I here? I hear craziest picture because
it makes Trump sort of just doesn't get it.
All right, we want to thank Matthew green Smith and Adam
Miller for being our associate our executive producers for
episode 199. You know the drill by now you can put it on your
resume, you can put it in your email signature. You might be
able to get some IMDb credit, but definitely it is known in
Hollywood circles to be a crime added that means something value
for value. So please let us know and let everyone know what the
formula is. Our formula is this we go out for yet people in the
mouth
Okay, Weezer's sick long sleeve chat rooms going nuts, they want
to see it, but
you want to send it to him. Well, I
can't send it to the chat
or I can put it on a link somewhere in the eye net. Don't
get
don't get her on the show. Wait until the show notes come out.
Let's get right to a topic of interest. I don't want to talk
about anything but this right now. Okay. You spent like I
don't know. What were you complaining about how much money
it takes to send stuff over and apparently you got my shit right
box crap and it cost 80 bucks. No,
hold on a second. No, Mickey. Mickey Mickey had her stuff
coming from Amsterdam. She had to pay 1800 my shit comes in
from London. I paid 85
Right so somebody's scamming somebody. Yeah,
and my boxes weren't opened I know that because my LMG 99
Japanese Light Machine Gun arrived fine my double barrel
shotgun arrived fine. My ammo for the shotgun arrived fine. So
they didn't sway me you're smuggling arms? Yes, absolutely.
I'm proud of it.
And nobody cares. This is why
I have a Japanese machine gun in my boxes and it's marked
labelled guitar just like the oldest trick in the book as soon
as she puts cello Yeah. And I paid 85 bucks and they didn't
open a single box but oh yes custom scan it for you for your
convenience sir
well I'm sure they scan is a way to this let's go over this. So
give some background of the people out there you had moved
your stuff from London and Mickey who you're now living
with moved her stuff from Holland and there seems to be a
discrepancy in the way both systems were handled in other
words the London stuff came in
both both systems were handled the same way the rule State
Department of Homeland Security is by law outsourcing the
unloading and preparation for scanning of all goods shipped
into the United States. Okay, so they have a hole and these are
published prices these prices republished in 2005 it cost more
for garments apparently cost nothing for boxes containing
weapons machine
guns shooting
guns. And yes, you wind up paying 8500 bucks. That's a was
it at 1800 and I paid 85 bucks and minus 85
bucks. Why was her so expensive with the book? Was her box 1000
times bigger? No,
no she her box she had for four times as much stuff. So in
calculations scenario about you know, should be a little harder
but
at the wild is calculation let's say it was 1000 because she had
a lot of clothes but you know how hard is it to check clothes?
I mean, what do you make put 1000s of kilos of heroin and
clothes. Hey, honey, your bra seem pretty puffy. So yeah. How
can how can you how come you only want to talk about this?
Are you on some kind of thing or
no I thought that you were complaining bitterly about what
a scam this was going to be and you knew you're gonna get ripped
off by the time you're stuck gaming you're worried sick?
Well this shows you how big the scam actually is. I think I
think coming in at such a low number shows that this man
knows charging this I mean it's it is it has something to do
with that thing coming from Amsterdam versus London. No,
because and where does the bill come from? Is it American
companies?
Yes. We mentioned that last time there's no there's only one
company in Los Angeles.
That's what I'm getting at is why was your so cheap? I don't
know.
You asked the shipping company like look we can't really
explain it to you. This is the bill they give us and that's we
have to live by that
it must be one of those things where they're just ripping off
the women you know like the car repair places. A lady or
Fraggles broken it looks like you're gonna need a new one a
new belt.
It could be but it's it's the truth. And I just find it funny
that I'm that I that I have a Japanese machine gun in there.
And and I have ammo
The ammo is particularly disturbing. I don't
have ammo for the machine gun. I'm still looking for a
magazine. And I think it's the 7.7 millimetre ammo. I'm sure
someone out there can help me
sure it's like five bucks a bullet. So anyway. No, I
understood that the thing came in with a summary just it looked
like it was just a mess. It wasn't very well organised in
the box.
No, that was a different problem. It was. It was packed
in London at my ex wife's house. And I think that here's here's
how they did it. Hey, that's a shit throw that in that box.
Seriously, it's not the way it works. This stuff arrived pretty
mashed. It's not, it's not. But the machine gun is safe.
Probably the most rugged thing you got. What about your audio
gear? Yes, all
of its here. And this weekend, I'll be setting it up. I have
some plug conversions to do. Because, you know, they're all
they all have the UK those crazy UK plugs which are bigger than
my head. Yeah, that's crazy. You click caves like UK plugs have
three big prongs. And there's already a fuse and a switch plug
and a switch. Yes.
You know what, I don't want people getting killed. I
travelled to 20 which you know, a lot of people don't realise
and you have to be careful with around 220 It's unlike 110 With
110 you get a jolt knocked on your butt with 220 just drops
Yeah, you're dead.
I've always wondered why. Why we have 110. And
for safety reasons. We the United States early on decided
that it was better to have one king because it was safer,
really. And it would kill less people. And because we have
liability issues in the United States. We're a legal country
that shoes does a lot of lawsuits. The Europeans don't
give a crap. So they basically said you know they get kills
himself. He's an idiot. So that's why they just summarise
does an idiot is an idiot. So, to destroy the Arcana nanny
state and their kind of nanny state,
hey, do you have a pet peeve today because I got some for
you.
I probably do. But you know these things kind of come up a
pot. Take the gig. They sneak up on me. All right, if
it happens, I'll be on the ready. Okay, I got a lot of
stuff to talk about, but maybe I should let you go first.
of all, thanks. I don't have the whole I can get it real quick.
Like Rajiv, Guru Baba and big Brahma in the morning. That's a
good one.
Yeah, that's good. And that's from The Simpsons. They're on
board with the programme.
People send me the craziest stuff.
Well, good. Keep sending him stuff. Keep them busy. So let's
talk about what we can talk. Well, let's hear it. Let's run a
humorous clip. Betty White it says Betty wife on Saturday
night. This is what was the big talk of everything last
Saturday.
Yeah. Wait a minute. Why don't we I think I think this
qualifies.
And the reason is the reason everybody has all worked up,
wrestled young woman, you get that fish out of my parlour?
What is gotten into you? She's a lesbian.
All right. Which brings us to
Yes, this is very this is a very interesting story. And it has it
has people talk and really I haven't I have the links,
including the one you sent listed under the Ministry of
Truth. Well, here's
what's interesting to me. Now we're gonna we're talking about
the Supreme Court nominee, who was the elephant in the room.
When she was first pun intended. When she was first nominated.
Nobody seemed to want to discuss the fact that she in fact, when
we mentioned her on this last show, I had a number of Skype
messages say just that all the word was just lesbian. What can
I just say one thing that we mentioned her on the two shows
ago, and I said, Hey, the White House has just announced that
they don't think there's any problem with her being a shill
for Goldman Sachs, that that to me is a little more important as
to as to whether she's gay or not.
I agree. But what I found interesting is that they didn't
want to talk about her being gay even though now they say oh,
that's all we talked about. Which is bogus because I have I
watched show I hate doing this, but I watch show after show
after show I watched right after a nomination right after they
started getting into it. First, I watched Overman then I watched
Matthews and then I watched who's the guys there's a couple
more of these on the other on the Fox I watched O'Reilly I put
these on the DVR so I could run through All of them oh right no
rush I didn't see back but you know I didn't miss anything I
really but but then I said well they're all ignoring the
elephant in the room and I can talk about the fact that she's
she appears to be gay we don't know if she is or not but she
just carries herself like a gay woman and one of the shows
showed pictures of when she was a college kid she was actually a
cute little Jewish girl that was actually very pretty in a you
know in a cute little Jewish go away, but I can see her having
boyfriends but she is probably she I get the sense that she's
asexual more than anything
before before you continue political reported two days ago
that all of her friends now of course they go they're not going
by name, which I love this great reporting, are all sending
messages saying Hey, she's not gay. She dated guys in college,
right? And even Eliot Spitzer. Eliot Spitzer, that's the guy
who has $5,000 Night hookers. Yeah, he's my hero. So he's the
guy that would know, he says, I did not go out with her, but
other guys did.
Yeah. Well, Spitzer is actually an interesting character. But
anyway, so I get the sense that she's probably not not gay, but
she's not asexual, she's you know, workaholic. And she's kind
of given up you know, because it doesn't look like a person who's
like, preoccupied with their looks, let's put it that way.
But meanwhile, but there's still the issue exists and there's
good reasons for it. And I think Andrew Sullivan discussed this
the best he went on about you know, and who is openly gay and
he says, you know, this we you know, do Obama wants everybody
to be open and honest and do all this kind of thing and then now
it nobody wants to talk about this gay thing. And he says it's
important from a from a lot of different perspectives I mean,
look what they did to Clarence Thomas, when they you know, the
code can thing was
up care who can verify me that that that horrible woman that
hill? Yeah, Anita Hill. So anyway,
long Dong, silver,
long Dong silver, you remember all?
That was awesome.
So I figure of all people, the person that would most likely to
bring this up and I was waiting for my hero to come to the
rescue. Rachel Maddow, oh, boy, she says nothing. And instead we
hear this. This ridiculous. Let's see, where is it? I got it
on the clips. I must know it's not enough.
Of the elephant in the room. Yeah, that's
okay. We'll just play a little Rachel. By the way, Rachel comes
to her defence without ever without ever saying why she's
coming to her defence. And she put in let me set up one little
thing. One of the Republicans starts off this little clip by
saying, Well, the problem with this woman is she's got no
judicial experience. And she's got no litigate litigation
experience, which is true, right? She has she's, she's
basically a bureaucrat, and Rachel comes out and she twisted
by saying, well now the Republicans are saying she's had
no judicial experience. And here's other people that have
never had judicial and she goes on um, but she's, she's very
specious with her argument. She's like cheats. She doesn't
say anything about the no litigious experience either.
Rachel is she is as a host. And the way they talked about back
in and Limbaugh lying a lot. This woman is really probably
the worst of the group because she just leaves stuff out in her
arguments.
It strikes me that if a nominee does not have judicial
experience, they shouldn't have substantial litigation
experience. Ms. Kagan has neither
Senate Republicans pouncing today and the fact that Elena
Kagan has never served as a judge. The last time someone who
wasn't a judge was nominated to be a Supreme Court justice was
in 2005 when President Bush nominated White House Council
Harriet Miers to fill the seat of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
that nomination lasted all of 25 days. Whereupon Mr. Bush was
forced to withdraw his pick for lack of political support. The
relevant comparison between Harriet Miers and Elena Kagan is
not actually about judicial policy questions about whether
Elena Kagan is qualified for the Supreme Court. Harriet Miers had
essentially been George Bush's lawyer, and she'd been White
House Counsel for a hot minute and that's it. Elena Kagan, on
the other hand, is the current Solicitor General of the United
States. That's the person who argues the government's cases in
front of the support. She is the former dean of Harvard Law
School. She is a former clerk to the Supreme Court. She has a
nationwide coast to coast Sterling legal reputation she
has been a longtime mainstay of Supreme Court speculation.
Okay, you can I just tell you that I find it very important
that my supreme because they're mine, as well, my Supreme Court
justices must have courtroom experience, litigation
experience and lesbian experience. I think that's
really having a lot of problems with all those guys. Now, let's
let me get go. break down a couple of things. She says in
her first she brings up the Harriet Miers argument, which is
a completely off topic. Wait, wait. very embarrassing. He was
didn't pick her because she was his lawyer for a hot minute. By
the way.
Obama Obama is Obama's personal lawyers now defending all kinds
of stuff inside the
administration when I'm not talking about that. It's the
fact that she says a hot minute meaning that she just showed up
and who But meanwhile, Kagan is only meant Solicitor General
sensitive does less than two years and to the Imbaba. Same
thing, but that's besides but she but she completely ignores
the fact that the reason Harriet Miers was dropped is because the
Conservatives got bent out of shape about not about
qualifications or anything in between, but it was about out
and out cronyism, which, of course, she could have made a
point about cronyism, because, you know, Matt out, you know,
there's always looking to just still score points against
George Bush.
Yeah. Like, there's no cronyism in the administration.
He completely ignores and keeps going. And now she's just
pounding the drum for this woman who I believe she thinks is a
lesbian, and she probably thinks it's a good idea to get her in
there.
Yeah. No, I think that something else is going on, John. Oh, look
over here. Nothing to see. Look at that. The things that I see
one is that she worked for Goldman Sachs receive money from
them, which I never mentioned. No, of course not. This is why
if nothing to see here, I'm talking about lesbianism. The
other one. And this is currently I believe in court. Monsanto was
trying to overturn a 2007 California decision that imposed
a nationwide injunction on planting the company's
genetically modified alfalfa. In March Kagan's office that
Solicitor General interceded on Monsanto's behalf.
Oh, you got me on that one? Good one.
No, of course, of course, you
know, I you know, the way to wish for anybody who wants to,
like do what we do on the show deconstruct these news stories.
It's, you know, the one of the tricks you can use as you put
in, I didn't do this, I should have Kagan, Monsanto, Hagen,
goldsack, wherever it is, you know, wherever you want. Just
start with those. Monsanto, Goldman Sachs just put Goldman
Sachs in vanilla and put the person's name.
I do that all the time else. I also add United Nations and
Council on Foreign Relations. Those, those are the four and
you've, there's your show prep. There you go. You're done. It's,
I'm trying to do this without cheating. Cheating. It's totally
cheating. It's not cheating. But you know, the funny thing is, is
that this stuff goes on. And it never comes up in the
conversation. In fact, the Kurt's article I sent you, which
is linked in the show notes, otherwise post, it's just goes
on about, you know, quoting and all the different people, they
made up their huge smokescreen, about this lesbian thing, which
seems to be off topic when it comes down to what's really
important, which is She's a shill for Monsanto and Goldman
Sachs. Yeah. I won't even be I would challenge anyone to find
me a clip from C span when they start grilling her dad even
comes up on the conversation. You know, it's
funny you say that about C span? Because well, first of all, I
hate it when the pro programming executives put all the primetime
shows on at the same time. So of course, you know, you and I both
know that everything happens in Washington is one big show it
show business for Ugly people. And so I didn't know what we
have C span one, two, and three. I don't know whether to watch
the financial hearings about the flash crash about all the oil
executives that are blaming each other. Or, or Kagan. I mean, I'm
confused. I, there's I don't I can't do that enough. Not enough
Adam to watch everything. And I didn't record the clip. And I'm
sorry, I didn't see span is now editorialising. And it's
starting to piss me off. So first of all, why do I need to
have C span to all day with, you know, with BP, BP, Halliburton,
and Transocean executives, because all you see is a bunch
of politicians who are all experts, and they're all talking
about the blowout prevention and the deadman switch was shut up.
You don't do an investigation. Don't take up my time with that.
But then you get the you know, the woman who comes on sometimes
the guy but it's been a woman for the past couple of weeks,
and says now we'll go to the Senate to hearing about the oil,
the oil crisis in the Gulf. This programme lasts about three
hours.
Right? So they know they always give you the estimated time
but now she's editorialising. And it went something like this.
We now switch over to the Senate hearings about the Gulf. The oil
spill in the Gulf where where oil executives are pointing the
finger at each other. This programme lasts about three
hours. Yeah. And I didn't record it. It's one of those I can't
get it on the C span archives which are outstanding but you
can't get it because That's the Edit
interstitial announcement.
So why is she telling me that they were pointing the fingers
at each other? You know? Oops, we got a problem here,
John. Yes, you're on your side. Yeah. You have a loose
connection. Maybe your battery's dead. To check the two. That
sounds like a dead dead battery on your mic belts. Oh, boy. was
some just start to every plug everything in your head.
That's super simple. It's not that fail. Just kernel panic.
everything crashed hard. And of course, when that happens, then
the configurations get blown out. And I can't. were we just
talking about my new studio, John?
No, actually, we're talking about Goldman Sachs, Kagan and
Monsanto. We did talk about it earlier.
Anyway, I'm, I'm happy. Yeah. Hold on a second. We'll just
check that that's all recording.
You're hearing all that right now? Yeah. Sounds good.
Okay. We'll check this in the morning.
So are we just broke? So once you explained what happened, and
then I can do an I told you so and then we can get back to the
show.
Okay, what happened was, we were talking. And then all of a
sudden, I got a kernel panic. I could hear here. That's when you
that's the Mac equivalent of blue screen of death. And
everything started to freeze. I couldn't unfreeze it. I tried to
dump out of the Ableton Live so that I could save because it's a
it should be saving directly to hard disk. But whatever happened
in this instance, it it didn't leave anything. And
so I had to reboot. We did a half a show. 40 minutes of the
show. And we did 30 minutes. We were 39 It was 40. Really? Yeah,
you sure? Yeah. Cuz I made a note of the time so I can we can
calculate when we're going to do some other things.
Okay, so we have 20 left for this half. Okay. So anyway, the
good news is, I think nerdy dude recorded the stream. Note his
moniker, nerdy dude, our hero. Yes. And so that's already being
uploaded to a server. So I can stitch it all together for the
podcast, which most of the people,
although you stream it 32k, or some sort of, no, no,
no, no, no, we're streaming at 64. We've upped everything. And
we and and in case you hadn't noticed the quality of the show
is now at 96. These days, I've got no complaints.
Yeah, well, it's a better sounding show at 96. Obviously,
yeah. So okay, well, then we would do have the first half of
the show, so we don't have to worry about that. Good. And
although we knew this was, you know, we knew we know that a
number of people recall backup to show for us in the cloud.
Yes. Our version of the cloud, which are individuals sitting in
their rooms, here in there around the country.
Hopefully, they're joining the show, and hopefully they're at
work.
Yeah, I know, your theory should be at work recording. Yeah.
You should be doing that. Okay. All right. So all right. We are
so we I guess we were talking about Kagan and we kind of
wrapped up that topic on Kagan.
I think so. Yeah. I think you mentioned the fact that, you
know, we're on at least we, we mentioned the fact that, you
know, if people just you know, Google people's names with the
words, either Monsanto or Goldman Sachs, you find out that
they're all connected
to what it was. We were talking about that and then all sudden,
boom, they shoot a magic bullet through the line and they nuke
my system.
Yeah, that's what they did. So but the point is, is that, you
know, this is another example he had now we have, essentially the
East Coast elitist, it's almost I don't think there's anybody
not in the ivory Ivy League that is on the court, so nobody
represents the public. And to make matters worse, they're all
stooges for Monsanto. This will come up in the conversation, and
when there's a court case, and they judges all, you know, find
for the
big corporation. So why don't we do something a little, little
light just to get back into the swing of light? Yeah, something
light. I have some clips from a television show, which are
propagating an agenda, an old one and a new one.
I'm listening. Okay,
so you're familiar with the programme supernatural?
I don't know. I may have watched it once. I think it's a it's a
crappy show. So yeah, I guess I do. I'm familiar somewhat.
Okay. So first of all, they they like to propagate some memes so
let's make sure we get them in there. Can we commit our act of
domestic terrorism already? Let's go. And so what is that
act of domestic terrorism? Well, we're gonna throw a couple of
memes at you and listen very closely because this is
something you're going to be hearing a lot more about
something
you need to say.
nevus pharmaceuticals rushing delivery of its new swine flu
vaccine to quote stem the tide of the unprecedented outbreak.
Shipments Lee Wednesday, Navy's pharmaceuticals get it?
You too are lucky Have you looked at your demon lover
Brady? The VP of distribution devious.
Ah, yes, that sound of the abacus cracking. You're caught
up. So pestilence was spreading swine flu. Evernote just for
giggles that was step one. Step two is the vaccine and you think
I know. I'll stake my reputation. That vaccine is
chock full of great a farm fresh Crotone virus simultaneous
countrywide distribution. You don't get to be horsemen for
nothing. So you've always been stuck up on everything.
This time next Thursday. We'll be living in zombie land. Okay,
so you didn't see the show? So the premise
before you say anything more? You watch this crap?
No, someone sent it to me. Okay. The premise is swine flu
vaccine. But this vaccine turns everyone into zombies. And just
look around at the slate of television shows and movies that
are coming out. It's all zombies. John.
The zombie craze is over. No, no, no, no,
no, it's getting it's gonna get a lot worse. Look at all the
upfronts we're gonna see a lot of zombie stuff. And I always
feel with some of this mainstream media stuff that kind
of like, giving us little message like, Hey, you're gonna
be turned into zombies. You watch. It's a new meme zombies.
It's much better. It's gonna be much bigger than it was.
Yeah, okay, I'm not buying it. Okay, that's the reason why is
because the zombie thing has come and gone.
Well, I may be a little bit more in the media than you.
Do, you might be wrong.
Speaking of being wrong. We talked about the flash crash.
past couple of shows and a lot of people have been doing
research sending in stuff, some anonymous including this next
message. We talked about the Russian programmer who would be
related to Sergej Eleni cough, that's the the guy who took the
code and got arrested at Newark Airport. And and went to
Chicago. This of course, is my theory entirely, but based upon
conversations with insiders, and I took that code into the
computer room compiled it, ran it for a couple seconds seconds
brought down the entire market, down 2000 points and was just a
little beta test. And you said well, you know, it's like this
doing this you got to compile the code. I just want to give
you a little bit of extra info. The language that these guys
programme this stuff in is Earl Lang. Are you familiar with
Erling? No? Okay. erlang.org and I'm reading verbatim from an
email from an anonymous donor of information. Erling has many
properties that make it an excellent choice for building
highly concurrent servers, one of which is the ability to
recompile and reload code while it is operating. Under certain
circumstances, the Erlang VM will even execute both old and
new code revisions of a code base simultaneously. So very
plausible, the new code was loaded even while trades were
being processed. I couldn't believe that, so I'm really
sticking with this. So that's
running with a run a virtual machine. So you can probably
maybe be very powerful. I'll look into the Erlang language.
Yeah,
I had never heard of it before. But erling.org has a
lot of these really weird little languages that are specialty
languages use for one thing or another. I'm not I'm wasn't
arguing with the fact that I think something was was I
totally In on the concept that somebody ran some beta code,
just to see what would happen, and then and then rocketed away
saying, oops. And I don't know if they meant to crash the
market. I'm sure they I think it may have been just was a test
and what would happen and what's gonna happen? Yeah. Let's run
this virus see what it does? I will say that the SEC is
extremely disappointing in, you know, so the first of all,
what's her name the SEC chief,
the one that used to be with the other agency that she moved over
to the SEC, they're the one that ignored Matt Madoff and they
played with that one,
Mary Shapiro that one. So she calls all of the exchange chiefs
to Washington and you know, so without actually she a computer
expert? Oh, yes. Well, they're all experts in everything blow
out preventers, the computer code or Lang, she looks like
she's an Erlang. Hacker. So of course not. So instead of
actually getting to the bottom of this, which they can't,
because there's like 250 different exchanges they have to
look at and they're like, Well, you know, it's gonna take
forever.
The fact of the matter is they need some GI some real hackers.
And it's gonna take six months to figure this out. waiting six
months, you couldn't even do it. Maybe it may take years but
whatever to play my stock market crash clip, which is what we're
hearing now this is what what is what it's deteriorated into,
which is a bunch of lame excuses. And we don't know this.
We don't know that and maybe it was this maybe is that I think
we're concluding this and we're concluding that.
Now. Sec Chairman Mary Shapiro and CFTC boss, Gary Gensler are
answering from lawmakers on the capital markets subcommittee
about that 1000 Point market flashed last week, basically
both of them saying that their collective staffs are working
around the clock along with participants from the key
exchanges to find out what actually caused that 1000 point
drop last week.
We will get to the bottom of this, I think we will be able to
determine what the initial triggers were. That's going to
take time there's 66 million trades on May 6, covering 19 and
a half billion shares of stock.
Now, collectively, Shapiro and Gensler are telling lawmakers so
far, they have ruled out the so called notion of a fat finger
trade. They say they've had no evidence of prior securities
trading out of the extraordinary, shall we say no
evidence of a terrorist type cybersecurity attempt at
hacking, if you will, and CFTC chair Gary Gensler in particular
is honing in on the notion that it really was a confluence of
events.
Our own review of trading data shows that some were starting
around 240, some of the most actively traded participants in
the futures markets, some of these high frequency traders
started to limit their participation around 242 to 43,
and so forth.
Yeah, they don't know. They don't know. But the limit of
participation is where it's headed. Now. First of all, the
guy says the confluence, which means it was a coincidence. The
the Dennett follows up with this idea. And this is the one I
think that's that's, that's getting the most traction, which
is, well, you know, these guys, the high frequency trader guys
decided to turn off their programme for some unknown
reason
and compiling code
and not participate. And essentially, because the high
frequency trading is so dumb is so dominant. Apparently
everybody does. It's not just Goldman, that it's propping up
the market. So once they pull it, yeah, that's
it. That's actually not a bad theory.
Ya know, it's propping up the markets is buying and selling
and making things look real active, and then they just shut
the thing down for a minute. And the market just collapses
because there's no support it what is really saying is that
the market is I would be really afraid if I was an investor with
with this one thought that they're starting to propagate,
which is that if it wasn't for the high frequency trading, this
market would be down at 6000.
Well, so let me ask you a question. Because I find the
timing of this very interesting. This happened just before. Just
days before the announcement of the now what is it almost a
trillion dollar, quote, bailout of the European Union to the
Eurozone, which many financial experts are now saying is
probably 1/10 of what will actually be needed? Now, the way
I see this, I think it's Yeah, well, I'm thinking 1/10 Two,
yeah. Oh, while we agree, so the way I the way I'm seeing this is
people don't really understand what is going on with this
bailout. I mean, it's not like we're giving money to
governments and like, Oh, thank you. We needed that money. They
have to pay off these loans. And if I'm not incur racked these
loans are from huge banks like Citibank and Goldman Sachs and
those derivatives trades, and it's, you know, all kinds of
complex stuff. But it's really going back to bankers, people
who lent these countries the money, is that a correct
assumption?
Well, you're gonna have to shed again,
okay? So I see that, you know, Citibank comes out and says,
Well, we do have an exposure to Greece, it was, you know, to
$1.7 billion, or something like that. So the exposure is, Greece
borrowed money. And they have to pay that back, because these
bonds are now maturing, and it's time to pay back the loan.
Right? So but these loans are going to banks. So this money
that Greece is receiving is going to banks, it's kind of
like I think, Horowitz said it, right. It's kind of like we had
a credit card, it's full, it gets caught up, and now we get a
new credit card. But you know, we still have all this debt
hanging out there. And it's a never ending story, but it is
ultimately to the holder of the credit card, which I believe are
pretty much banks, the money is coming from somewhere. Yeah. So
it's banks that are lending this money. There may be you know,
there's some sovereign funds. So like the Chinese, you know, but
that's still a bank. It's basically banks. So is it
thinkable or within the realm of possibility that the banks are
like, hey, you know, you guys better get this better? Get your
crap together? You better like, show us the money? And if not,
we're going to crash everything. Watch this. Flip the switch for
two seconds?
No, well, I mean, from my perspective, it's no because it
was screwed there, the bank should be more screwed than
anyone.
You will? Or will they really, because they'll just get a bail.
I mean, if you think it was just
like a, you know, salvo said, just scare them, and then really
never do something like that. But if they crash the whole
system, the banks or their demise, or, you know, just close
up shop, they'll never get any money from anybody. I mean, no,
I don't think so. I just doesn't make sense to me. I think that
this stock market thing was either an accident, or was or a
beta test, or something, or it could have been a number, but
it's something that corrected itself rather quickly. And it
looked like a switched kind of a thing. I mean, it did have an on
and off switch quality to it. And I don't know I think is more
nefarious than just a bunch of bankers. You're either more
nefarious or more frightening or just accidental, I don't know. I
just find the whole thing disturbing. And it's not. I
don't think it's being really looked at, from the perspective
of there's a lot of implications that are just not being
discussed well, as well. So I just found, yeah,
it was two days before most of these things happen, like, right
on, you know, like, you know, it was more interesting, your
argument that Goldman, you know, got this, you know, indicted and
fined, and then it happened that it makes
no, that was not my argument at all. I don't think that that was
my argument. No, no, no, they just want, they just want to
make money at the end of the day. Yeah. And they all want to
make money. But this whole, you know, the whole
make a lot of money on the short side, by the way. No kidding.
And it goes that fast.
But if we look at the United States of Europe, with this,
with this bailout, I think we're, I really feel that we're
headed towards a war.
Well, isn't that the theory of our show since the beginning?
Yeah.
Really? It really seems like it's crazy. You know, I was
reading some some Gitmo nation, lowlands articles actually,
somewhat, and I had to read it's an English book and I had to
read it on a Dutch website. It is. This is a who wrote
freefall, written by Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz. And this
is about Iceland. So this is kind of what started things off
in Europe. Iceland, of course, was the first country to really
be taken down. Through no fault of the people.
No agenda bookstore. Make note? Yes.
So here is an interesting passage from the book. Iceland's
banks had like banks elsewhere taken on high leverage and high
risks, when financial markets realise the risk and started
pulling money out these banks and especially Landsbanki. Now,
this is yet the you had the ice saver accounts, which British
citizens and Dutch citizens invested in through the
internet. Right. They made these banks lured money from
depositors in the UK and the Netherlands by offering them ice
saver accounts with high returns the depositors foolishly thought
there was a free lunch, they could get higher returns without
risk, perhaps also foolishly thought their own governments
were doing their regulatory job, because it turns out, and this
is 2008. So the finance ministers, I guess it would be
the exchequer in the United Kingdom and the Minister of
Finance in the Netherlands which I guess would be Valtor boss,
they they should have known or they should have done some what
do you call it due diligence before allowing this cross
border trade and this and this investment through the internet.
Essentially what these banks were doing was saying, hey, you
know what we're in, we're in trouble here. We're gonna need
some money. What do we do? Oh, yeah, let's get those saps from
over there, we'll have them invest, and we'll take their
money. They literally took their money. And the finance ministers
should have at least known this. And this was 2008 way before
there was any sign of a problem in the in the public eye. And,
you know, it just seems like it's all all done with with
intent. And then of course, UK in the Netherlands pay their
their citizens they say, Okay, well, Allah will front the bill.
And then they go in and they screw Iceland. I don't know. You
got me on this route worse, you probably don't care anyway. But
there's an element to that. Well, this this, of course has
nothing to do with finances is all about control. And the Euro
is a government project about world government and not not
about money. Although, of course, money controls at all
Brussels Dateline. Yesterday, Europe announced radical plans
Wednesday to prevent member states budgets from the next
year, drawing decidedly mixed reactions from Euro giants
Germany and France. So the idea here is we have to, we have to
look at your accounting. We've got to see what your budgets
are. And we're going to determine from Brussels from
Starfleet Command, we're going to determine what you can do.
Yeah. Okay, this is this is control. This is totally
a whole things. I agree with that everything is about
control. The thing that still gets me and I don't know how
long this can continue, is that it when you start looking at the
nexus of power, in the EU, it always crops up as Germany and
France was
the biggest they're the biggest, bipedal
Vegas, and they seem to be both dominant. They're both a type A
personality countries in this regard. When is it? How long is
that partnership going to last? Well, it's never lasted it
throughout history has never lasted if the basic personality
types of those two countries is extremely incompatible. So I
mean, would you disagree with that?
No, I totally agree. And of course, the French and the Brits
are always ragging on each other all the time.
There had to have it. Did they have a love hate relationship,
like a couple of brothers love hate?
They love the French wine and cheese and hate everything else?
I mean, that's not a real love hate relationship?
Well, it's true. But yeah, but they, you know, I think it's
less of a genuine personality conflict. I mean, I don't think
that I think the personality conflict between England and
France never see me. It's interesting. But it's not to the
extreme of, of core personalities, insofar as the
differences are concerned between the French and the
Germans. I think there's a core difference between their the way
they were raised the way they think, the way they operate
everything about them to French, in the end that English is kind
of laughable, because they've you know, it's just different is
that it's not I don't see it as a how many, you know, their wars
between those two countries ended, you know, hundreds and
hundreds of years ago, the French and the Germans had been
battling for less 200. And they still are as far as I can tell.
I mean, what was something wrong with that analysis? You think?
No, I think that's a good point. I just wonder if it's gonna be
by proxy. It just seems so now we know France is actually
attacking Britain.
For the British now, the Cameron. Okay. Here's an
interesting thing. I think of a clip of this
Cameron's problem. Yeah,
why don't we play that and then we can go into the fact is, you
know, this is something Americans don't fully
understand, because we've been taught in school. And I can
assure you, we've been taught in school, that England is a
constitutional monarchy, and the monarchy itself is a figurehead
position that has no meaning. That's what Americans generally
think.
That's not what I think. I know.
If you play this clip,
all right. I'm just saying if her name is on the dotted line,
she may be a figurehead but her name is on the dotted line
over to Simon Hamza. It's certainly been a big day for the
British government. We want to get a look at sort of the wrap
up of everything that's been happening there and talk a
little bit more about how it's gonna affect the currency
market. Simon, if you would just recap the day's events
what effectively 13 years of Labour Party rule Trish in the
United Kingdom have come to an end under Tony Blair, and more.
Lastly, of course, the man who was his finance minister, Gordon
Brown. We had an election last Thursday after five days finally
today. Gordon Brown resigned as Prime Minister because that
election of the three parties gave none of them a majority.
And he couldn't do a deal with a third party in order to gain
office. There you see him walking out of Downing Street to
go and ask the Queen, if he could move on in life. She then
asked David Cameron, who is the head of the Conservative Party,
if you are kindly former government, he is now therefore
the prime minister. And indeed We believe or it's apparent that
he is going to rule in a coalition with the third party,
the Liberal Democrats the scale of Cameron's task, and this is
what the markets are focused on. Trish is absolutely enormous.
Outside Downing Street, as you see him there. He spoke about
confronting problems facing up to challenges. And front and
centre of those challenges are the British deficit this year
expected to be $250 billion, that's 12.8% of GDP, far more
severe than you have here in the United States. And the
expectation that demand from the Treasury is to the cause cuts or
tax rises equal to 5% of GDP, $105 billion, we have an
emergency budget, which he will go ahead with within 50 days.
That is the promise. The question for the markets is
exactly how we'll steer that will be we know he'd like $9
billion of spending cuts, the Liberal Democrats are working in
the right.
It ended there. Yeah, sorry. It because he goes on forever. But
what the point he ends up making is that the Tories may be
forever screwed because of what they have to do. But at the
beginning of that clip was the interesting part, which is the
queen, you know, Gordon Brown went there begging that he could
leave and she said yes. And then she then she, she, as we said,
weeks and weeks and weeks ago on the show that you know, Cameron
was obviously on the fast track to become the next prime
minister. It's time for him to take the baton. And and but but
the fact that the Queen had to get into the news cycle, and
tell him, you know that here's what here's what's what, you're
going to be the prime minister, and then you're going to work
with these other guys, and you're going to have to fix this
problem. Really kind of takes away the idea that the Queen's a
figurehead?
Well, you know what, it's a good backstop, because in case the
elites don't get what they want, then she can always just step in
and say here's how we're going to do it. A couple other
interesting things I noticed about this coalition, which is
the first one in 30 years, if 55% of the coalition government
does not agree on an issue, then they disband. Oh, I didn't know
that. Yeah. Well, I mean, and of course, you know, I love it, how
I get emails from people saying you don't understand our
government works. Well. Maybe it's just interesting to listen
to how American looks in a great honey. Maybe it's just
interesting to learn how Americans think about it, but I
did live there and I do think that I have some knowledge of
what's going on. So this is how a cabinet falls. So 55% Doesn't
seem like a lot. You know, it seems like you know, things
could be kind of worked out, particularly when you note that
in this new cabinet. Listen to the bankers who are now members
of parliament, Mark Garn. Yay, emerging market specialist Joe
Johnson, brother of London Mayor Boris Johnson, who worked at
Deutsche Bank, Jacob Riis, MOG, formerly of Rothschild and Lord
George management, investment management expertise boosted by
the arrival of Richard Graham, former head of international
business of bearings, asset management, also founder of the
British Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. And then we have
Matthew Hancock who was George Osborne's Chief of Staff and
brains behind the conservatory economic policies. He was co
author of The Oculus report on red tape and regulate regulation
commissioned by the Tories, Mark reckless economist for bearings
and Warburg Bank. There's a lot of bankers in there. So who
interesting,
don't you think it's interesting how the bankers are taking over
the world of politics when it used to be the lawyers?
Well, it's a much easier way to control people through their
money. The law stuff is complicated takes a lot of time
to write, you know, here's just like, Shut up slave. I'm gonna
take your money. It's like, okay, what do you want me to do?
One other interesting little ditty in the coalition document
which I read, which of course is interesting, because they these
two parties, the Liberal Democrats and conservatives have
very different views on a number of issues on most things. Yeah.
One of the big ones seems to be a change in the way voting will
happen, which will include a referendum. That's actually one
of the longest pieces of the document. There's some banking
reform, immigration political reform The funniest one, though,
is out of nowhere. We're gonna implement high speed rail. It's
right there in the coalition agreement. Really? Yeah. Email.
Let's listen to this. Listen to this. I love this. The
establishment of a high speed rail network. So it's not just
we're going to talk about we're going to do it the cancellation
of the third runway at Heathrow planes, good planes, bad trains.
Good. Wow, the refusal of additional runways at Gatwick
and Stansted and the replacement of the air passenger duty with a
per flight duty. So
no, wait, get good. Just go over that. Again. We're
grounded
the establishment of a high speed rail network. No, no, no,
no, no, that last part, by the way.
Oh, the replacement of the air passenger duty the tax with a
per flight tax. So now it's mean oh, that means it's, it's easier
for guys to keep planes on the ground, because there's extra
taxes if it actually flies. And I believe that the airlines have
to charge that if they don't already. It's a tricky one.
Well, there's definitely a movement to Yeah, I think this
is the you've nice find, by the way.
Thank you. Well, reading you know, it's not that hard. The
BBC was gonna read him who, by the way, mandating a national
recharging network for electric and plug in hybrid vehicles
mandating mind you a mandate for power outlets on the highway.
You know how long it takes to recharge a battery operated car?
What are you gonna do park it there for 12 hours and take it I
mean, maybe one of these things where you just sleep all night.
I still tell
I still think it takes longer to to prep this show than it does
to charge your car. Just one funny little bit. Remember that?
You know how long it takes to charge an iPad. I'm not that
long, actually. Five minutes. Yeah. Well, it was a little more
than five. No, no five minutes because I went to the store the
other day and I gave him the American Express card took five
minutes.
Bada Boom, wait, I have a
tech grouch joke by that. I
like that. So remember, the crazy lady who was yelling?
Blew the joke. just mentioning it, you know?
It was a joke to say. I'm a horrible story, man. Kay Kay
Burley Is that crazy woman who was yelling the Sky News woman
who was yelling at all that horrible person. Yeah. So she's
really funny. She's gonna get sued. So apparently she doesn't
do just political stuff. But she also was covering Naomi
Campbell. And so there's a whole bunch of photographers and
everybody out there trying to get a shot of Naomi Campbell and
some photographer bumps his lens into her cheek. And by the way,
she's an elitist now she's she's, she's at Royal Ascot with
her big with a big hat on and everything. Oh, lovely. So she
gets pissed off she grabs the photographer by the throat and
chokes her and and then later she says she says I didn't put
my hands on anyone. I was provoked. Well, I might have put
my hands on so I put my I put my hands up you know I didn't choke
anybody and then there's great pictures of her literally with
with a hand around this poor photographers throat choking her
is a picture of her neck it's completely scarred with the with
this choke marks this woman is a horrible horrible elitist
person.
She is terrible and then if she shows a naive not to notice that
every you're in
everyone's taking her picture.
Everyone's taking pictures. What an idiot.
It's funny. It's in the office. Yes.
Fired.
Yeah shownotes it No, we're not gonna get fired. She's, she's
perfect. He's perfect. So
let's get back to this other point. Which is the I don't I
haven't heard a more obvious rails good aeroplanes bad yeah,
then that one because they want you to know we're not going to
put the extra runways up. No, we're not going to do that. But
yes, we're going to do high speed rail which and I don't
know I mean it Britain is. I mean, what do they need high
speed rail for their? Where are you? Where are you going to go?
The trains are already such a success. And they're so
affordable. They take the toilet. They took the toilets
out to make room. So I say long on adult diapers. Now now, it's
crazy.
So okay, we got an email from somebody in Australia.
discussing there, they get all of it out of the blue that this
guy sent us a note saying that, well, I thought you guys are
full of crap. And I don't know what this high speed rail thing
is in his den. He says all of a sudden apparently fast with no
discussion was like a billion dollars for high speed rail in
Australia, which he says, is extremely ludicrous because
there's a huge distance between all the towns and if you wanted
to go to Perth, on a high speed rail, no matter how fast it
went, it was still taking days.
Well, I've taken that to trans Australia line is 24 hours from
like Melbourne to Perth. And that doesn't go very fast. So it
would go faster than that. I think
it How far is Melbourne to Perth?
It's about 24 hours by train.
Yeah, but how I turned into my thank you, thank you very much.
I
don't know it's a famous real well, is that was the Indian
Pacific. Yeah, no,
I've heard it. So it's one you want to take. But anyway, it
seems to me that I don't know, this whole high speed rail thing
is getting on my nerves. Well, there's
two other things, actually three other things.
Somebody also did some calculations on whatever the
differences that make the high speed rail line unless it is an
express line is you it has to stop all the time. So the
momentum, you know, it goes out to you know, the tuner miles an
hour or 300. Let's hope and it has to slow to nothing and stop
dead. I mean that you know, so your average speed is going to
be next to nothing. Somebody talked to me about that.
Apparently some Japanese technology. No one's implemented
this yet.
I have it in the show notes. The the animation of it, of the top
car
being dropped off. Yeah,
it's like they just like unhook it like, Hey, I'm on hook and
get out. And so it does slow down a little bit, but doesn't
stop and then it basically roars past the station, the car to
everyone has to move into the drop off car like Chevy buddies
like a mailbag.
With a hook. It's just like, look, I'm on the hook. And then
it'll pick up the people who are waiting in the car that you know
that that is at that station. And so it never really stops.
But I mean, this is not implemented yet. I mean,
this is never going to be but because it's too crazy, but I
think it'd be funny to have a system like that. Because you
can imagine, you know, like, you're on your train trip to
your marriage. And you say, Hey, honey, I gotta go to the
bathroom, I'd be right back. And you just sneak up to the
top of the car to the drop off car. And
boom, the train is on its way and you're like, back behind the
line.
So two things I wanted to mention. There's something we
have to be on the lookout for showing up everywhere in I'll
just say real news sites are anti plane stories. And I have
two of them one from Gitmo nation lowlands and one from the
National Journal which is set us
I should you us are
Yeah, I agree with you and I think it's us. Okay. And so
they'll have a story. No, I'm sorry. This is UK they'll have a
story is the three hour tarmac delay rule good for travellers.
And it's Lisa Caruso writes in the National Journal blah blah
blah harsh penalties for US airlines blah blah blah blah
blah blah. And then it's the whole page is filled with
banners for Northern Norfolk Southern transportation. Yeah,
for the railway and then there's one from the Netherlands on news
out.com. And by the way, these are not rotating banners these
these are set banners that do not rotate. I've been I captured
him first in PDF and a refreshed refresh the next day. So top
story the ash cloud I'm translating on the fly the ash
cloud from the Iceland volcano is still disrupting air traffic
in the north north of Europe. here here's the latest news and
the most recent predictions for closures and right underneath
it. High speed the fast and always trustworthy alternative
travel by train in the middle of the page right underneath the
story
might date well but why would they be promoting it in them on
the continent because they've got already have it?
No, no, no, the Netherlands that oh, the high speed train story
in The Netherlands is a two decade old story. They started
this of course all of this started a long time ago. They
they flattened villages houses everything for this. This gutter
which is going to have this high speed train and the gutter has
been there for a decade, but the train is still not running. Now
this has been a multibillion dollar fiasco
timorous does it make in Holland. Did you have high speed
rail or not? Well, you get on a slow train you're out of the
country and about 14 minutes?
Well, I've been thinking about it. And the only thing I could
come up with is with air travel. You don't control anything
except the takeoff and the landing. Yeah, me sure there's
control over where you fly, etc. But you can't tag someone for
going over land. You can't, you know, there's no infrastructure
in the sky. It's just a money grab. If we can move the people
on the earth, then we can make a lot more money off of it. That's
the only thing I can see.
No, no, I still think it's about freight. I mean, Norfolk
Southern, or whatever you're talking about that other plant
that other operation that's not coming is ever going to carry
passengers. That's a pure freight company,
isn't it? Yeah. I'm not familiar with them.
It's a freight company. I mean, Burlington, northerns, a freight
company, the only people doing passenger traffic in the US
because everybody else had this is a loser is Amtrak. And they
contract with a few of the other was a few of the rails for
their, for their right of ways. But you know what, Norfolk
Southern is never going to go into the passenger business in a
million years.
I'm clicking on the banner. And then this is funny. The future
needs us.com Oh, that's great. That's great. You see a road
with cars. And it's old smokey and then dusty. And then it goes
to the smokey Old Guard go to the future needs us.com And then
it goes to a freight train. So first, you see cars with two
trucks. And then freight train. Amazing. The future needs us it
needs green jobs a competitive economy clean,
clean air. You know what I think anyone out there who has friends
in the teamsters union should teamsters should be on this
because this isn't a direct attack on the infrastructure of
trucking in this country, which is extreme was not assessed
country, every country job in every country, but we are very
truck oriented. Yeah. More so than Europe. Yes. So I would say
to something, something's up. We know something's up. It's just
you know?
Well, of course, the big news and as Rahm Emanuel said, Never
let a good crisis go to waste is John Kerry introduced the new
version of the cap and trade bill yesterday.
Oh, another version of the cap and trade scam? Yes. And you see
the by the way, juicy, the fact that now science magazine
finally revealed the fact that this on the blog, by the way did
work.org/blog That that polar bear picture was totally
photoshopped.
scam? Yeah, it's in the it's in the show notes. Nobody, of
course will mention this. You know, Carrie or anybody else's
they tried to plough through this cap and trade scam. out and
out scam, you know, and all Diplo pro global warmists are
all going oh, well, you know, you can't take a chance. You
know, we're just trying to you know, yeah, okay, we used a bad
photo. But you know, it was sure was a good ideas right? In not
only that, but they also used another picture of a house
underwater as saying this was because of global warming.
Flooding was happening everywhere. And they got that
off of stock photo.com or istockphoto.com. And it's it
says literally right there. It says this is a Photoshop
computer generated. Yeah. So a couple of the things and then we
should get into our thinking some of our our borders today.
Yeah. So first of all, this bill, which I looked, it's 890
pages. I looked through it yesterday has cap and trade
right in there. Of course it's very complicated language. But
wow, what a rollout we have this thing happening in the Gulf.
Everyone's going crazy, because you know, we're all gonna die.
And and then cap and trade gets rolled out and it's now called
Hold on a second. It's called they haven't it's called the
climate change bill in the public. Vernacular just s 1733.
It is a bill to create clean energy jobs. Of course, it's all
about job. Oh,
yeah. It's always about jobs. Yes. It's always been the
children. Yes, it's about
jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, reduce global warming, pollution and
transition to a clean energy economy, short title, the clean
energy jobs and American Power Act. And he had Dow Corning he
had everybody they're all the guys who are gonna get a whole
bunch of money. And by the way, it's free. John Kerry said
yesterday, this is free is going to cost us nothing. It's all
free. I need to get that clip. It's free. It's just free. Don't
worry about it. It's free.
It's guides turned out to be one of the great sleaze balls.
Total ass wipe, ever. So everyone's on board with this
programme and I want to play a clip from Geraldo. And so of
course this is all on the heels of of the disaster the
monumental, massive disaster we've never seen anything like
it in the history of all mankind in the Gulf. Interesting to note
that you don't see any aerial photographs. No one's got a
helicopter showing this huge oil spill because I guess the oil is
under the water. Well, there's
some pictures on the National
Cup. Yeah, but why is it if it was really that horrible? Why
don't I see you I hear about the turtles, but I don't see birds
with oil. Well, I had
the one clip I we didn't play it was with you last week or the
week before I didn't move it forward, where this woman is all
and they found a dead bird.
Well, I'm, and I don't want to downplay it. And of course, you
know, this is not fun, but it's just like, health care. You
know, it's like we're all the people are jumping up and down
on the news saying, Yeah, I've got health care. You don't see
him because it's not happening because it's not true. Because
if it was, I'm sure they would want to report on it. So Geraldo
has a guy go out and talk to a fisherman. And by the way, the
water is blue. It's beautiful. The other guy's got a salty guy.
He's got wind in his hair, and he's being interviewed by one of
her all those dudes
that we all love. Even Greenpeace recognises America's
need to be energy independent, and Steiner scoffs at conspiracy
theories that the Obama administration was slow to
respond because it's secretly wanted to undermine offshore oil
industry.
By the way, that's a little message to us to play the clip.
Hey, hey, no agenda, guys, that's we're talking about you.
I think that's
kind of ludicrous.
No, has placed a ban on fishing in most of the Gulf costing
billions was the band and overreaction, though? Isn't it
possible that this water this big body of water, we'll just
churn and wash this stuff out?
Let's hope so. I mean, this is an open ocean environment,
there's going to be some wave wave activity and such. It's a
very different ecosystem than Alaska and elsewhere.
But that I find very interesting, because of course,
I'm not a biologist, or a water ologists. But it is a different
ecosystem, he says, and the waves can make a difference. And
I mean, do you hear that? John, you agree there's something that
it is different from Alaska? That's what he just said this
guy's night? Yeah. Okay, good
God, while it's doing that, it's exposing all the water column
organisms to toxicity that otherwise weren't. So there's
no, there's no win out of this. It's a lose lose situation. And
you see
what's happening in the oil industry and offshore drilling,
comparable or some kind of parallel to like the movie
Avatar?
Oh, wait, it gets better. John, you thought it stopped there.
You know, these environments were terrestrial primates. And
so we get what goes on on land. But humans haven't spent a lot
of time on the ocean. Most people haven't. So it's a little
bit of foreign environment for people. But these are precious,
productive environments. The oceans sustain much of the life
on Earth. So yeah, this is, this is a treasure, treasure, a
national treasure that we shouldn't put.
I love the national treasure. But treasure there's more.
There's more at risk. This this is fantastic. This this is now
your brain is about to fart. This is our
avatar. That certainly could be although the fights Gorny and
director James Cameron are waiting to protect the rights of
the indigenous people of the Amazon from a huge hydroelectric
plant is a world away from the situation in the Gulf oil spill.
The principle is the same protecting the planet from those
interested in only quick profits tell me
since when people oil companies don't make quick profits, it
takes billions and I don't want to sound like an oil company
shill. But that's just bullshit.
That's total bullshit. And to build one of these hydroelectric
plants, it takes decades of deep to plan it and all the rest of
it. It's not it's anything but a quick profit. It's a profit. But
it's not quick and it's not easy.
It gets better. How is
your life affected? Knowing the change that avatar has had?
I mean, so now we're on the avatar world making people more
environmental but who is he talking to?
conscious when you went to visit these people in their natural
environment?
You know, what I feel that avatar did was was show the
world how concerned people are about our planet that we are
aware of the damage we're doing to our planet.
Sigourney Weaver. Unbelievable. Yeah, it showed People the
damage we're doing to our planet No and showed blue people in 3d
is time. More than time for us to stop now, and all help each
other find energy efficient ways of producing.
What kills shameless
Shameless, Shameless.
Oh, wait, I can roll it out. Hold on, John. Here it comes. I
can finally do it. I've been waiting all day. Big, big,
big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big,
big, big. It's all about things that are bringing hungry feed
doesn't drink. He doesn't show he reaches in and whips it out.
He doesn't believe and when he started to see his rights, big
big fish. Big Big Fish Two big garbage pants thing big, big
and I think that I think that that's your first and last
playing of betting. Not short Diddy. Oh my god. It's so
it's your Big Beef. Yeah. All right. But yeah, it's it's
completely outrageous.
That is ridiculous. And then what are what is your overall
and this is on Fox?
Oh, yeah. But listen to what Geraldo says is come back after
this. This bit with Tip of the day, by the way.
Yeah. Sigourney Weaver. Craig, it seems to me that this may be
a pivotal moment to re energise a real environmental movement,
not the you know, politicians and others who are claiming
making preposterous claims not backed by science, but having
kids and people get involved the way they did in previous
disasters, Three Mile Island, for instance, or Chernobyl.
Kids are getting involved in church. They don't have any
hair. Let me tell you, that's one aspect.
Three Mile if kids need to get involved, no politicians can't
change anything. Kids from Toronto who were involved in
Chernobyl. Chernobyl, listen against Betsy,
the Deepwater Horizon disaster as the Three Mile Island event,
the Exxon Valdez a way to change the industry. You know, the
tanker industry was changed, the nuclear industry has changed. So
this is gonna be a catalyst. And environmentalists want to see
more of a move to cleaner energy as a result. So it just goes on
and
on and on, which is unbelievable.
And it gets because the die is run Morocco.
I mean, I thought Fox was at least had some, you know,
semblance of like, middle of the road to right wing attitude
about things. This is just out and out. Crap. But what's
Geraldo doing there? I mean, why don't you just go to CNBC? Well,
because
Fox is run by the Denver Ms.
I'm sorry, CNBC is run by the Democrats we owe it is obvious.
It's run by the Democrats to have this report, which was
nothing less than pathetic. And I'm glad I didn't see it because
my blood would have been boiling. By the time I had
dubbed it.
So the thing that the thing that gets me and of course, a lot of
C span is that, you know, all the politicians are doing the
same thing. We need clean energy. Hey, I don't think
anyone is against windmills. I don't think anyone you know, I
don't think anyone is against solar, but it doesn't work well
enough. We know you can't just like
steal a money loser. Yeah,
it doesn't work nuclear. Alright, I'm all for that. What
what is the administration give us a couple of bullshit promises
for maybe eight nuclear plants made and
the problem that we have with new nukes in this country and
er, well, no, there's also the fact that you know, people well
France to France, France, France has a standardised power plant.
Everyone is the same if you hire somebody that runs the power
plant and you know, outside as she known at some other place in
France, they the controls are the centre in the United States
of America, all the nuclear power plants that we've done,
are all custom made. They're all different. They're extremely
expensive. They're they're crap by comparison, because they're
all we got to use the latest technology so they keep changing
things. And General Electric, of course, is the big big winner in
that regard. They're one of the many companies but gee, that's
why you always you never hear anything really negative about
these things in on MSNBC. It's just a it's a corrupt, horrible
situation. You know, the, I don't know, I just find this
distressing that they keep propagandising People at the at
the level of a movie called Avatar. Yeah. I mean, do they
really think the public is that stupid? I'm sure. Yes. Yes.
John. Yes, yes. Do hobbyists
or wind let's credit some of our non slave listeners. Yes, that's
about to think for themselves for helping us out on this last
show. And by the way, we do have show number 200 Coming up on
Sunday. And now's the time I don't want to pre promote it.
But now's the time if you want to be one of the executive or
Associate Executive producers for show number 200. And God
knows if we'll get to 500, which would be the next big
breakthrough.
We're not going to do 250 or 333 or something like that.
Oh, we definitely would do 333 Now you mentioned it. Yeah.
Thank you. I thought so. Oh, yeah. 333 Absolutely.
That's the next milestone in our career.
250 might happen to that it'd be nice.
If we get hungry. We'll do 250 If I get a huge, like, tax bill
or some shit like that
can happen any minute after you're brought in the Japanese
machine?
That's how they do it. We're like a 2007 you still owe us
money from when they were rich. You bastard. Come here. Nice
wait. report of
a Japanese machine. Gunby Yeah, why did you get the report all
these guys are bragging about it on the done the sum podcast.
So Adam, Adam Burke Pyle, who I believe is the creator of the
pocket no agenda app. Donated $150. So I'm going to presume
that's from sales of the pocket no agenda app, which I have to
say is one of my favourites. I really do like it. It's a
winner. Yeah. John Schneider from Chicago. The run of
numbers, the straight 1234 $523.45. Then we have
Daniel Tara Steny. From Woodbury, Connecticut. Adam,
please dedicate a song to my wife on this Friday is DSC.
Okay, I'll do that on Friday. Sorry about that. But he's
really fan by the way.
Well, he's clearly supporting the whole concept of, of the
show. With his $110.20. Then we have anonymous from Montreal, or
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Adam, stop promoting Doctors Without
Borders. Look into one of their founders. Dr. Bernard Kushner,
French Foreign Secretary great show, huh? Well, I don't think
I've been overly promoting them have no,
he only actually only mentioned them a couple of times during
the early days of Haiti. But we will look into this. We will
find the perfect the perfect charity for the Haitian relief
and I'm getting the opinion or they're coming to the
conclusion. We got a good note from some what one of our
producers actually did some research on that. And I wouldn't
mind talking about it on the International Red Cross. Yeah,
no, no. on Haiti and the internet, the International Red
Cross, I'm not there yet. But Haiti,
okay, with International Red Cross is just another note. It's
got nothing to do with any
profit profitable organisation. I calculate and they're very,
very human
rights operation has got nothing to do with medicine. And they
and they're set up shopping in Haiti.
I looked at their balance sheet. They have $600 million in the
bank. Wow. Yeah. Huh. That will some of its in derivatives by
the way. About 10%. Yeah, why not? Yeah, good. Christopher
does Scott Oh, double nickels on the dime from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Hey, got a better job. Two weeks ago, I told myself I was able to
find a better job this year, I would start a plan to become a
knight. Four days later, I got a call from an old boss basically
offered me my dream job and a change to move back to where my
family lives. I'm driving across the country from North Las Vegas
to PA my friend Steve from Detroit is a he's been listening
from day one but not contributing. And Harry Meyer
from Stevenson Ranch California. Also 5151 And then we have the
click lab limited from Auckland, New Zealand. John, that's,
that's wrong. That's for Dvorak uncensored.
Oh, that shouldn't be on that list. Okay, take that off.
And Lisa Lang has started on her layaway programme. She's
Fitzroy, north of Victoria in Australia. We gotta go.
We have we also have three more that came in on our Deuce club
listings, which we'll be discussing on this special show,
which I should mention big digital like laggers and the
double nickel and dime programme Matthew McDonald, Peter bhiva or
Beva and Jeff rochem, or I'm sorry, Rosslyn or Rockland
Rocklin. Probably Roc H li n.
That is the sound John of me unsheath If you wouldn't mind
grabbing yours yes very well. We want to ask Adam Miller to come
over here he's actually if he was listening to the stream live
it's been an extra long wait for him to be just a regular dude
named Adam Miller. Because we had that kernel panic and
everything crashed. Adam Miller kneel before us please. Very
good as we now dubbed the name de ser Adam Miller night of the
no agenda roundtable. John, we need the extra long ones for
this
for this bit. Your gums? Yeah. Okay.
We are going to do a slew of night Noir's. These are the
Black Knights who have contributed over a time. And
somehow we just didn't get to him because we couldn't count.
You know the rules if you support the show with up to
$1,000 over time all donations count. Then you can become a
knight of the no agenda roundtable. John, why don't you
just give us all the names and in one go and then I'll give
them one big clunk with a sword and do them all at once.
Yeah, thanks. Thanks for doing that. Since I just said my
screen. I got the wrong Aaron
Jones, Philip Evans, Roland Ruth, Kelly Spartanburg.
I got the last two, Margaret George and Todd Simmons real
before
the round table, you have the honour bestowed upon thee, of no
night Noir. Please enjoy your future ring and join the Knights
of the no agenda roundtable.
Like to Sir Rolland of wooddale.
And by the way, you knights can create their own uniform. They
can put as many crazy things on their uniform as they want, like
generals. Yep, they're like us generals. They can. Well, of
course, we all communicate with each other, they get special
benefits. We do stuff for our nights. Or whenever you you
know, winter, spring, summer fall, all you got to do is call
and we'll come run for our nights. And of course, so as
always want to thank everyone who is on the monthly
programmes, $5 a month, the lucky $30 People who are saving
up to become knights, it's highly appreciated. And all we
want is value for value. If you think we're putting some into
this and you see some value, then you give us whatever value
you think it is.
Yeah, and if you think about what your time is worth the fact
that we don't have commercials to the tune of probably saving
you for our if you listen to the show all the time and a lot of
people do. Saving you probably four or five, maybe six hours a
month of your personal time. What is your time worth? We
would appreciate our monthly basis. You know, it's a cheap,
it's a cheap investment to be honest about it to help us out.
It's cheaper than one of Eliot Spitzer is hookers.
Yeah, well, he was going for Yeah, the big money hookers. I
think us with the two $3,000 girls, and I don't
think they were even worth it. Really? When I looked at him.
Hey, the Voyager two John, which I recall, this was probably
crap. I don't know. 10 No, not even 10 years old. When did this
thing launch Voyager Voyager to launch than it is 1977. And
danger. Sorry,
leisure, that's the one that becomes becomes a Borg robot and
comes back and tries to kill us all?
Well, it's starting as Voyager two, all of a sudden started to
transmit data that NASA could not decode. So now, of course,
you know the Voyager This is the one that we put a whole bunch we
put like Chuck Berry Johnny be good. And we put music in there.
We put like symbols and, you know, some poppy seeds and some
other stuff. And you know, they if you guys discover us out
there, and this is what we're all about. Here's who we are.
And this thing sends back signals, takes about 13 hours
for the signals to reach it either way. And of course, NASA
has been in contact with it continuously. It's now at the
very edge of our solar system. And on April 22, the data
packets returning from Voyager two cannot be decoded. They've
changed. So I'm thinking someone's on board, send the
messages back.
Some kid
some space some space kid is on there, like hey, let me send
some stuff back. He's probably sending his version of Johnny be
good bye. act. So they've the NASA is somewhat puzzled over
this. So I think it's kind of interesting that the data pack
has changed. And that doesn't just happen. You know, why would
the computer all of a sudden just like start changing the
packets and what you saw, I wish it was like open source. And we,
you know, we could get these packets and they should do like
a SETI at home type thing. And, you know, they should let
everyone work on it and try and decode what messages are coming
back. I mean, isn't don't we own this data as citizens of the
United States of Gitmo? I would think it would be nice. I want
to give some props to one of our producers, as you know, our
listeners are our producers. I'm seeing more and more of this, of
people doing the research for us. So
by the way, I think we forgot to mention that when people if they
want to donate where to where they can go.
It would be helpful, wouldn't it? It would be helpful,
no agenda show.com divorce.org/in. A, and
challenge vorak.com/in. A that might be useful. And especially
if you want to be one of the producers of the 200th show, I
think I would encourage participation. And by the way,
we still have the deuce club. It finishes off at show 200 we're
still collecting $200 for the 200th show as a tribute. And
we're gonna have a celebration episode, which is going to
deconstruct our own show. And that's still that's still going
on. dvorak.org/deus and every I send a mailing out, you know,
and people are you know, you're sending it these too many
mailings. I send like two a month. And,
oh, too many mailings, right? How many shows do you get a
month? We do too many shows John was cut back was just cut.
So anyway, we're just normal complainers. But anyway, the
point is, is that this is a good, good moment to join the
deuce club. And of course, some people have pointed out that our
logo for the deuce club looks like two enormous breasts.
And you think that's a mistake, of course, is not a
mistake. Exactly. I'm just amazed that people think it's a
mistake.
By the way, the chat room has already solved the Voyager two
issue. They say the Voyagers SSL cert certificate from Network
Solutions expired. So that's clearly what's going on there.
So our producer, Kevin flick, did some work on Haiti, of
course, you know, the drill by now this is a total take over
the country, it's going to be a great tourist destination, Bill
Clinton, who economically screwed the country throughout
his entire visit in the White House, is now the yuan, UN
special envoy, and he's in charge of the billions of
dollars. But interestingly enough, the people of Haiti are
drowning, and are dying. But of course, we only need about
30,000 of them to man, the hotels, that's probably what
they're thinking. So all these links are in the show notes. I'm
not going to belabour it. But he found an interesting path of
articles. The oil developers are about to buy the Island of La, I
guess it's Jonov. And this is about two miles from the
epicentre of the earthquake. And these guys have been trying to
buy this for years. And now all of a sudden, it looks like
they're going to buy it actually buying the island. And so funny
when you see some of the paperwork from global renewable
energy, there's q&a Like FAQs, saying so what will happen to
the inhabitants? Will they no longer be citizens of Haiti? No,
there'll be citizens? Well, what will life be like? It'd be like
life will be the same only better. That's literally their
answer. Basically, well, they call themselves a global
renewable energy, but they're an oil outfit. And so in September
of 2009, this is just three months before the earthquake,
Bill Clinton spoke at the at the annual Haitian unity Congress.
And, of course, the global renewable energy guys, were
there. We got all kinds of pictures with them. And it's so
obvious that what's going on there? And it turns out,
according to global renewable energies, yeah. Let me just get
the FAQs for you because it's really funny. So how many people
live on La Jonov? About 90,000. Why develop? Well, it is
situated on the windward passage, which is one of the
world's most highly trafficked energy, sea lanes. This I did
not know. So it's a strategic This is why it's strategically
so important, because it'll be great. have a huge port there.
It's sheltered in the Gulf of luxury. And I've protected by
the high mountain ranges. I mean, it doesn't get much
better. This is the perfect place the perfect place.
What do you think? What do you mean? What do I think? I mean,
what's it perfect you by me you think that they would put in,
for example, but it sounds to me that if there's a bunch of you
saying tankers go by there, yeah, it's the most so So what
you'd want to do is, you know, we're talking we talked about
this manipulation of the oil and gas prices. So what you'd want
to do and this is what I would look out for in the future, this
will be my prediction. Okay, as opposed to your zombie
prediction.
You know what, I'm the one with the machine gun when you just
come over here when you need protection. Yeah,
when's the last time you clean that thing? So anyway, I'm
thinking if you get the protected port and everything
that's it sounds to me like a place you'd put a tank farm up.
And these big changes that come in and
I'm sorry, it's in the FAQs, three mammoth tanks. You're
right.
Ah, well, I'm already ahead of myself. Yep. I'm looking at is
only the beginning.
I'm looking at the FAQs right now. Oh, it's gonna be an oil
refinery.
The I didn't even need to read the FAQ.
Why locate an oil refinery on luxury Nova zona? Well, the
island needs to have a balance of trade and be self sufficient.
Yeah. For the 90,000 people who are there they need an oil
refinery. The oil refinery will produce the diesel fuel for
machinery and generators jet fuel for the airport's bunker
see fuel for cruise ships, petroleum coke for power plants,
asphalt for required paved area, Steam, industrial city and water
for the industrial city. If it were necessary to import the
aforementioned supplies, the island of Loginov will be less
attractive to developers. Oh, please give me a break. So who
the hell needs
a stinky refinery? Yeah. I mean, if it was, if it was, you know,
American, you know, in the United States, we've done a
pretty good job of keeping the, the oil refiners from just
basically stinking up the place. Because if they're not, if you
don't have a lot of air pollution control devices on
these refineries, because of the nature of depending on the kind
of crude oil you have, but if you generally speaking, there,
we don't really do a lot of news, they talk about sweet and
sour. That's the typical two type types of crude oil that are
available. And then there's kind of hybrids that are pretty
amazing Bolivian oil, for example, is notorious for almost
being able to pump it out of the ground and put it right into a
diesel engine without refining it all. But anyway, generally
speaking, you have two kinds of oil, sweet and sour. And the
sweet oil is what we usually have here. sweet crude, you see
it traded as a commodity. And sweet crude goes in it doesn't
have a lot of sulphur doesn't stink up the place. sour crude,
which has plenty of it around. You got to take it to someplace
like Haiti, where you can refine it and just stink the place up
without anybody worrying about it or complaining because who's
gonna complain?
Nobody, a bunch of Haitians there will drown it anyway. So
anyway, the kicker. The very last question on the FAQ. And
this, this goes completely to my theory of earthquake machines
ready? What happens if the government of Haiti does not
approve the project soon? So this was written a couple of
years ago, this FAQ? Well, the project has been delayed for
nearly three years, the developers are becoming
impatient. If the project is not approved soon, then it will be
moved to the Dominican Republic. So there you go.
Oh, interesting. The development is reliable. By the way, if
you're gonna
patient Of course, it's a threat.
Yes, I don't read though, because the Dominican Republic,
which is it's not going to put at I'm assuming they're going to
be doing crew sour crude refining, because that's what
you would do. The Dominican Republic wouldn't put up with
it. So they wouldn't they wouldn't allow a refinery like
that in their area.
So anyway, from this site, now, I started to do some research. I
bumped across to oh, by the way, one other thing, Monsanto, those
nice folks. Where's my jingle for them? I haven't used that in
such a long time here. Yeah, you lost it. They're so nice.
They're helping out the Haitians, they. They sent them
475 tonnes of genetically modified seeds. Thank you,
Monsanto. That sounds sweet of you. That's so nice. So from
this site, I bump around and I'm on some Haitian probation sites.
And I come across something called the United States
Institute of Peace. Have you ever heard of this?
I did. And I only heard of it but they had him on C span once
and I tried to get some clips from speech the guy was giving
but it was so dull. I didn't get anything.
Well, these guys and they have a beautiful building, by the way.
Oh, they're loaded with money. Oh, Oh, and by the way, there's
the Congress pays for him. So it's us, we're basically paying
for it. It's just it's amazing what they are the one, no, we
have to be everywhere and help people to propagate peace. We
are obligated peace. We provide a hold on. The United States of
peace is an independent, nonpartisan institution
established and funded by Congress to increase the
nation's capacity to manage international conflict without
violence. So they're all over Haiti. And then from that, I
jumped to the International Crisis Group. Oh, my God. This
is an amazing thing, working to prevent conflict worldwide
because they're aligned with the United States Institute of
Peace. And then you look at the Crisis Group, and their board of
trustees. Well, I should just mention a couple of them.
Let me guess are all One World Government guys? Oh, yeah.
George Soros.
Ah, Kofi Annan. Zbigniew Brzezinski. Your buddy, all the
dudes are in here. It's like, it's just it's an amazing, it's
great.
It's a great drinking club.
It is a great drinking club. It's just amazing. And so
they're they're all involved with helping Haiti and keeping
the peace and let's, let's say where the other developers are
becoming impatient. Unbelievable. So anyway, I want
to thank Kevin flake for doing that research and that all of
the those links are all in the show notes. Pretty Pretty
amazing. And we had a we had a to to the head as well, which
was kind of interesting. Russian scientist, who was at Fermilab
knew what Fermilab is
I Fermilab at
Fermilab is, I think it's the it's a it's a collider.
Oh, maybe Yeah,
yeah, I think it's maybe this second largest. Police. So what
happened is
me been shot by someone from the future.
Well, no, actually, it's a she. And 24 year old visiting Russian
scientist Maria Bellroy Vaughn. And she fell to her death in the
atrium. It's their favourite way of doing it. The not quite sure
how it happened. But yeah, she fell off the stairs into the
atrium of the Fermilab. And, of course, she died 16 storey
buildings, several bridges, you know, one of these beautiful,
beautiful hadron collider type things. And so of course, the
all of the conspiracy nuts who are crazier than I am, are out
there saying, Oh, she had information about the the
weaponization of these colliders. I'll put a link in
the shownotes about that. But it's it's interesting that a 24
year old Russian scientist stumbles and falls to her
untimely death in the atrium. It happens all the time.
Yeah, it does. They should did any more safety features on
these things. It's really,
and big props to a guy I've met once I spoke with him for a
couple of hours. His name is Jung poate. And he is a real
estate developer from the Netherlands. And he got into a
huge public fight a number of years ago, because his idea is a
very rich guy. His idea was to create something called chips
hole. So you have staple, which is the airport, and they have
all this real estate. I mean, that airport is really a real
estate project. And he wanted to put in office buildings. He
wanted Cisco to be there. He had all the contracts he had,
everything was all set. He was good to go. And then the
government just pushed him out. It's well documented, you know
that he sued them. The judges were kind of losing ground, the
Ministry of Justice, switch the judges on him. There was all
kinds of crazy shit going on. So this guy is definitely a
radical. He's very, very smart. He's probably about 60 or 70
years old now, so he doesn't give a rat's ass. He took out a
full page ad in in one of the Gitmo nation, lowlands
newspapers and basically said, the Ministry of Justice is crap.
And why are you protecting the paedophile? Yeah, yep. This is
the the director general of justice, who has admitted that
he's a paedophile but he's still in, in his, in his position, so
to speak. And, and he basically is saying, You know what, I have
a whole dossier here. If you guys don't play by the rules,
neither will I am going to release all the information.
Oh, well, he's gonna be dead shortly. Yeah, well, we'll see.
I do backups all over the place ready to go to be dropped into
the public domain. That's what you got to do.
Well, the thing is, is all this information is in the public
domain. Everybody knows it. Except he might have some new
stuff. It doesn't matter. I mean, the the media won't reply.
By the way, what
good is it done?
The media doesn't report on it. They don't care. And really
don't.
So I got a couple more things here before we finish.
Yes. Oh, well, I want one moment. Just whistle for a
second John.
Why am I breaking up?
Um, Nikki has a very important meeting. So I wanted to give her
some extra love bombing. Okay.
We're back. We're back. We're back. We're back.
I'm like a human Theramin whatever that is. Yeah, you
should look it up. Here's something that bothers me if you
notice that the way the media has switched around the I want
you to play I got a clip here from Keith older man who was
talking with jazz John Dean on and he mentioned something
interesting I we can play the whole clip or part of the clip,
but he probably should play the whole thing. But it's about this
Miranda rights thing which people keep talking about, and
holders come out and said, Well, you know, we've got your whether
we should deal with, you know, some criminal as a terrorist or
not?
Well, so this this, let me help you set this up. There is now
the what are they belligerent come combatant terrorist
homegrown act or something that's been proposed. So
basically, if you talk crap about the government, you're
belligerent, not only will will your Miranda Miranda rights, but
they're actually talking now about the Secretary or Secretary
of State, being able to take away your citizenship, which of
course is the end around the Miranda rights? Because first
you take away your citizenship? Oh, no, I don't know. I don't
have Miranda rights.
Well, the thing that's really going on, it seems to me is
they're actually and if you just listen to the news, and you hear
the complaining about oh, you know, John McCain, part of this
whole ridiculous situation? Oh, they read him his Miranda
rights. They shouldn't have done that it would have been better.
Why are they reading him his Miranda rights. And so we think
that the debate is about whether you should read somebody's their
Miranda rights. But when you start looking into it, and John
Dean, I think points this out on this little clip I've got here
from the Keith older man show who is Dean, John Dean's a
former White House Counsel under Nixon, and he's basically a
writer and I think he's connected. So
either Are you being ageist?
What Keith older man? Yeah. It's old sir. Right? No, I just think
it's a funny pun. Yeah. Okay. So I mean, I'm John older man.
Okay. So anyway, they, but we, here's what I'm trying to get
at, which is they keep talking about reading the room reading
the rights reading the rights. No, they're talking about
eliminating these rights. In other words, even if you read
them or not, you say I want a lawyer. They say Screw you, you
got no right to a lawyer. That's what's going on. They're trying
to pull and hold as part of this, pull the entire Miranda
rights thing. Now, it's not about reading the rights. It's
about having the rights. And nobody's talking about it
looks like context with this new threat. I think we have to give
serious consideration to at least modifying that public
safety exception. And that's one of the things that I think we're
going to be reaching out to Congress to do to come up with a
proposal that is both constitutional. But that is also
relevant to our time and the threat that we now face.
No indication that a broader exception to Miranda based on
international terrorism would even satisfy those bending the
issue for political purposes, who do not want terror suspects
at all put through our nation's criminal justice system. Rudy
Giuliani, for instance, supported holder's proposal, he
said it would. It would still be better to hold suspects like
Shahzad as military detainees. Giuliani joins the likes of
Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Joe Lieberman, who have
offered various ideas about how to discard Miranda rights in the
case of a terror suspect. Let's bring in his promise former
White House counsel now columnist for five law.com John
Dean, also the author of blind ambition, John, good evening.
Good evening. Are we clear yet to any degree what holder's
proposing here Do you have any idea?
Well, I actually caught the clips and then thought that
isn't very clear. So I went back and looked at the entire
transcript. And I wasn't clear at first if he was really
responding just to leading questions, and or if he'd
actually had some proposal that he had in mind at the Justice
Department, it appears the ladder, although I don't think
he was ready to announce it on Sunday, but rather it was forced
out because of the question.
It would seem as if a public safety exception to Miranda
wouldn't be enough of a dilution. And we just saw its
effectiveness in practical real time circumstances in New York
in the capture and arrest and interrogation of Shahzad What
Why would anybody think that's not sufficient?
Well, it's certainly good political grandstanding. I do
the right has been hammering on this on how tough they are on
terrorism, how weak the Democrats are, so they keep
pounding that drum. It looks like Mr. Holder and the
administration is trying to respond to that they're never
going to satisfy it. In fact, we don't need legislation there's
no evidence that Miranda has ever been a problem for law
enforcement. There's no evidence that it's a problem now with
terrorism there's no evidence they need anything more than the
exception and they already have
in 2000 of the Supreme Court addressed the Miranda case or a
case it was supposed to
yes pretty outrageous.
Yeah, there's basically you know want to be able to arrest you
give you you have no rights to an attorney probably tried to
you know, just throw you in a slammer beat the crap audio or
whatever.
What happens is a van pulls up they throw a hood over your head
and you're gone. never heard from again.
Yeah. perfectly legal.
And I'm telling you that Hillary Clinton she's doing something
with this take away your citizenship. That's it. That's a
part of a John Yeah, just take away. That's that's the easy way
around who needs legislation if if Hillary Clinton and say,
you're no longer a citizen, what a crazy world we live in. It
turns out President Obama has a social security number from
Connecticut where he's never worked. So we're still in
dispute whether he's an actual natural born citizen and someone
like me and you who were born here. We just got out you're not
a citizen anymore in the slammer, you go rendition
flight.
That's where it's leading. So now I have one last clip. I have
a bunch, but I think there's one that's kind of interesting.
Talking about weird laws. There's a new story that took
place in the Bay Area's code, the clip is secretly
videotaping. And tell me if you don't find this kind of weird.
Fight Time now for looking at stories making headlines around
the Bay Area tonight. San Jose man is accused of secretly
videotaping women's body parts while they were grocery
shopping. And off duty sheriff's deputy noticed it happening at
the Dunn Avenue Safeway in Morgan Hill. The deputy ended up
in a struggle on the ground with a suspect Juan Rodriguez. The
Safeway customer help the deputy make the arrest. Rodriguez is
accused of using a concealed camera for sexual gratification
and battery of a law enforcement officer. Lottery investigators
are cracking down.
Is that is that is that new
day? Apparently it is. I've never heard of videotaping for
the purpose of sexual morality only heard again,
Rodriguez. A Safeway customer helped the deputy make the
arrest. Rodriguez is accused of using a concealed camera for
sexual gratification
using a concealed camera for sexual gratification. I love it.
That's how is this? This is you can't do anything. What about
just looking at somebody for sexual gratification,
that'll be illegal next. In fact, I have an end clip for the
show, which I want to play as we're winding it down. And this
is, of course, we've talked a lot about how you can't show,
you know big breasted women in Australia. There's
no small breasted. It's a pet of sorry, small
breasted Exactly. There's all kinds of weird stuff. And this
clip is about how women young women are essentially
manipulating themselves not manipulating but what's the word
I'm looking for? I don't know that getting laby ectomy Slavia
activities.
They are why they are mutilating themselves mutilating the word
word Thank you
mutilating. Well, because they think that that's what a
beautiful vagina is supposed to look like. Because because
they've shown all these fake vaginas that have been
photoshopped, and, you know, there's different ways of
shooting this. So I was like, Oh, my vagina is ugly. I have to
get stuff chopped off. It's crazy and it's a video of course
you'll be able to see that on no agenda tv.com Caution not safe
for work at all you actually see one of these operations taking
guys I'm not going to look at it but when you hear the audio it's
it's interesting enough so you don't have to actually to
actually look at it. But ah, so we get all this goes back to
your nudity is porn. It's all it's just not so stuff.
It's not getting any better. All right, then.
Producers Zach. responded to the Philadelphia Pennsylvania tax
amnesty ads. We just play that again real quick because it's so
we have now posted on the divorce.org site and everyplace
else it's disgusting. My
name is Tom. You live just off of Fifth Street. Nice car, Tom.
Nice house. What's not so nice is you owe Pennsylvania $4,212
in back taxes. Listen, Tom, we can make this easy. Pay online
by June 18. Then we'll skip your penalty and take half off your
interest. Because Tom, we do know who you are.
Find us before we find you. So Zach made a call to the
Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and got switched to
their public relations office. The woman there said it was the
Neiman group that devised the intimidating ad campaign. The
woman unnamed claimed that focus groups were done. And these
focus groups approved of the plan focus groups Yay. Oh, yeah.
Focus groups are useless. Yeah, she wouldn't tell them who were
in the groups or where they were held. The ad campaign was part
of a budget deal Governor Rendell, who is the guy who got
a kick out of office, Pennsylvania. A part of a budget
deal Governor Rendell signed off in October 2009. The entire
campaign including website and TV ads cost $3 million. But she
said they were hoping to recoup $190 million from the 3% of
taxpayers who don't pay their state taxes. Niemann group
located in Harrisburg and Philly I call them says Zach was told
to speak with Monica Witter. She wasn't in so I emailed emailed
her list of questions. Her email is in the shownotes. She has she
hasn't responded yet. The claim in the following stories that
the ads are working and then as a story that they've already
collected $12 million. So I guess the Shut up slave thing
works.
Yeah, maybe this group is ahead of the game.
It's what's common ladies and gentlemen. And then a quick
little note from Shawn. He heard us on the cheating gene meme.
And he said, Hey, maybe we can put this National Enquirer story
that's going around about Barack Obama cheating. Maybe they're
preparing to hit us with the news that he has the cheat gene.
And, and of course, vaccine coming soon. Stop your man from
cheating. Pay your taxes. Make your vagina look pretty. And do
the right thing. Yes, that's what you shipped more money to
Haiti. shyster show up and take advantage of people's good. It's
called a labia plasti. Right. It's very interesting to listen
to because they're drawing some of the right conclusions but
doctors who do this are a little frightening. So anyway,
doctors are in it for the money
you thank. Thanks, everybody for hanging in there. Throughout
this programme, it was difficult if you're on the stream, we're
going to put a little I yeah, I edited the two pieces together.
Of course, thanks to nerdy dude for recording the first piece
off the stream. So I got some splicing work to do. And I'll be
doing that here in the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command
centre and get my nation West in the People's Republic of
Southern California. Yay. My name is Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where the sun is shining except
when it isn't. I'm John C. Dvorak
will talk to you again on Sunday early morning service for
episode 200. Remember devora.org/deus right here are
no agenda.
This video presentation has been classified by the ABC as M. It
contains material that is not recommended for persons under 15
years.
I need to warn you that this next story can names, footage of
genitals and surgical operations that some of you may find
confronting. There's one part of the female body that most of us
have seen way more often in pictures than we have in real
life, but has censorship skewed our idea of what a normal vagina
looks like and could it be contributing to a new trend in
cosmetic surgery
just getting rid of these protruding bits here.
Let me place the term given to the surgical improvement of
female labia which are the lips of the female genitalia.
This will generally be healed to a single crease, which is the
terminology I've heard used before in the industry
that are either done with a scalpel or with scissors that
you would take just the pendulous part of the labia.
So this be just made up into a single crease where you just
can't really see any the inner labia.
Each of these men have jobs which require them to trim the
labia menorah that's the inner lips of vaginas. One of them is
a graphic designer at a soft porn mag who has asked that we
conceal his identity. We have replaced his voice. The other is
a plastic surgeon
what you would see most of the time in the media and in the
published literature is something like this. Closed
labia majora,
could there be a connection between the two roles
Labiaplasty is becoming increasingly popular in
Australia growing at a much faster rate than other cosmetic
surgeries. Experts say there are a number of reasons for this
trend, but we think there's one that's been overlooked. And
that's censorship. In Australia, unrestricted soft porn mags.
That's M 15. Plus ones such as penthouse picture and people are
allowed to show frontal nudity but only discrete genital
detail. But what if your genitals aren't as discreet as
the Classification Board would like them to be?
The same as saying what does a normal face look like? Or what
is a normal nose look like? They're all look normal. They
all look like a vagina. But you know you get different in the
filling of the labia majora, different pigmentation,
different areas of the labia menorah, which are a little bit
more pendulous. The clitoral hood might be a little bit more
folded on itself. One can't really say that there is a norm.
That's right, folks, not all personalities look like this. So
why then is this the only kind ever shown in soft porn?
To the stuff that's the outside of the lips of the vagina here.
That would be defined as very detailed. And so to avoid
getting busted by the censorship board, we just take all this
out.
We don't instruct clients how to edit their magazines. It's their
commercial decision if they want to particularly image in a
particular classification. That's their commercial
decision.
So would the board not allow in an unrestricted publication
image of a woman who had protruding inner labia?
Not necessarily but saying that to maybe depending upon the
pose?
The magazines say otherwise. We spoke to Brad voxel former
editor of the picture magazine for seven years and later
publisher of picture and people magazines. He had this to say
the only acceptable vagina as far as the Classification Board
is concerned is one that's neat and tidy in their eyes. They
basically consider the labia menorah to offensive for soft
porn.
Off the record, a number of men's mag insiders including a
current editor confirmed this claim. This is only 12 tested,
we took our own theories of pussy portraits, different women
all photographed in exactly the same way to the board. Well,
they
will possibly be allowed, I think.
Okay, and how about this? Possibly this one,
possibly the quarter? It's hard to say again without
so Why do you hesitate a little more?
Clearly, there's more general detail in that pitch. But I know
what you're saying. I know he's saying put it to
the magazines that that they're doing this for commercial
reasons and they vigorously deny that they resent they say they
resent having to heal things to a single crease and that they're
certainly not doing it for the taste to suit the tastes of
their readership. As far as they're concerned, this is
absolutely a classification issue. Well, that's their
opinion.
The Classification Board can spin in any way they like. But
the effect of their decisions is that all but one particular body
type is too rude to be shown in soft porn.
Loving, most women don't really examine other people's vaginas.
And so they don't really have an idea except from literature. And
you don't see the normal range because all people that are see
fall into a normal range, but they have issues with it looking
a little bit untidy or too bulky or you know, to pendulous. So
that I think is a major reason why people sort of seek out
improving the little bit. So I suppose for want of a better
word.
What's happening here is far more than just photoshopping out
blemishes. It's actually removing a part of the human
body.
While obviously would be better if we didn't have to do it. I
mean, this is reality, and we're messing with reality. This is
what people actually look like.
For every woman who thinks surgery because she thinks she
