then if that's the case, why can't I go sign up some slaves?
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. It's
Thursday, August 12 2010. Time for your Gitmo nation media
assassination episode two to five.
This is no agenda
competence a hot tub is not a good place to be. And coming to
you from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command center and get
my nation in western the People's Republic of Southern
California. Yay in the morning I am the patently unemployable
former Soviet spy known as Adam curry
and, and from Northern Silicon Valley with a much simpler
introduction. I'm John C. Dvorak, Raglan buzzkill
in the morning to you, John,
in the morning to you and in the morning to everyone in the field
and all ships at sea
and in the morning to all of our human resources charged up and
ready to go with no agenda chat.com and all the new human
resources listening to the program for the first time who
found out about us on the Adam Carolla show. I did some PR
work, you see.
Yeah, I suspect the numbers will be skyrocket. He's
got a big show, man. Don't Don't knock it. He's like always
number two or number one on iTunes. He's got he's got a
pretty big show.
I've never heard it.
It's, it's, it's okay.
I know. He's getting a lot of grief for doing it.
What do you mean, he's not? He's not getting grief. I think his
fans love him for it. No, it's
fans. I'm talking about the other people that still are
stuck in old media.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow, he got fired. You know, what's he going
to do? He did, they kicked them off. They changed the whole
station under his ass. And so what's he gonna do? Yeah, I
know what he could do. He could do it smart money's doing. And
that is going to work for the Fed.
Yeah, federal government. That's right. become a teacher. This do
some
of these things here. Let me just read this from this. This
came I've got to send you the link has got to go on the show
notes is from USA Today. They took a look at some of the
numbers and to pay rates in average, the average pay rate
compensation 2009 for a federal civilian worker, not a military,
civilian, federal civilian worker. The average is $123,000.
Are you Are you kidding me? That's that's a lot of dough.
Man.
The as the average the average state and local government
nationally, employees 69,913. And the average private
enterprise, the people, the normal people, slaves, the
slaves, slaves 61,000.
Wasn't there some big fractious in California that, like the
state comptroller was making $700,000 a year or something,
and there's a
bunch of people making millions, that federal compensation
advantage has grown from $30,000, a year 2000 to 61 998,
who's counting down? That's the advantage that and in other
words, in other words, they were making 30,000 More than private.
But now it's 61,000, more than private on bilinear. And here's
the kind of the interesting thing about this. And people
should be irked about this is that, you know, with with the
SEIU and all these unions that are that pressure the federal
government to give them more money, those unions are very
effective in government, they should be outlawed. They're
effective. Because when you're a union, nice company doesn't in
the private sector, and you ask for more money that affects the
bottom line, all the bookkeeping has to change. Everything has to
be accounted for. With the government. There's no, you
don't lose your profits, you don't get screwed by giving the
employees more money. You just go to Congress, so we need more
money, printing some up. Hey, Fred, from the private sector.
Yeah. And give it to him. It's value for value. It's $123,000.
If you're working for the foot, that's your average pay in the
federal government 123,000.
I picked a really good week to quit my day job, John. I have
over 300 links in the show notes. I got up at five again,
you're gonna killed our listeners? Well, actually, I
have. I'm going to do something different with the show because
you know, I published them in OPML, which is the outline
process or markup language and XML derivative, but also just in
HTML in the show notes, but I think I'm in the show notes. I'm
going to do some, like some kind of widget thing I can use so
that all of the categories are are collapsed. So that doesn't
take up the whole page. Yeah, I don't know what it does for
indexing or anything, but frankly, I don't care. Just as
long as Oh, this is the link. Thank you. Let me
put that make noise on the show. Yeah. This is the
irritation link. What do we put that under? Let's put that under
finances? Yeah, nice. So uh, yeah, no, but it's man I'm, I'm
happy I've got the time now to do this. It's outrageous that I
wouldn't know where to start the show there is so much happening,
particularly under the headings Ministry of Truth and get mon
nation. It's just outrageous.
Well, I think we should thank our producers before we begin we
have producers good. And as you know, a little, although I'm
still annoyed by this. I mean, actually, you know, I used to
work for the government should have just stayed there. Yeah,
but he's this aggravation. You couldn't
go back. Can't you? Can't you moonlight on this show that
you're working for the government? I can
like but I don't think the government you know, they're,
they have they're a bunch of ajustes they wouldn't hire me.
They there's nobody to answer to you know, they can be ageist.
They don't care. What are they going to do? Somebody calls them
on it. Too bad. Count salt. Yeah.
You can't pound salt. That's illegal to stop it. Can't have
salt a pound.
So Paul couture is responsible for three more order the mint
knights? Yeah, this is the Knights will have to also make
executive producers. Okay. And those are $1,000 each. Victor Oh
stirred doll from Heiniger Sweden. Stephen Lowe from
Birmingham, UK. And Glen Mercer from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Now this is from the no agenda coin challenge, which you can
find at no agenda fans.com I believe now there is a coin. So
these are $33.33. There is now a coin sold in 46 of the
continental United States. So we're almost we've almost
blanketed the entire country. And the way it works is every
week until almost all 500 of the run arm are sold. And there's
like 20 or 30 left every week $1,000 which is I think what is
it like not 60 or 70% of the of the profits or the proceeds? I
mean, the guys making no money, so he's sending it all to us,
which is amazing. One of the coin purchasers is pulled at
random receives a exclusive black. What is it? A black no
agenda challenge coin and is made a knight in the order of
the mint. And of course also automatically an executive
producer, which is phenomenal. Hey, where are all the other
initiatives like Sir Paul couture.
And Paul couture, by the way is also an executive producer.
Of course, because yeah, and so the total will be like, like
over $12,000 When he's done.
Yeah, something like that. And he's also blanketed 23
countries. Wow, just know that. So we also have regular
executive producer Charles Jordan, Milwaukee, Wisconsin who
gave us 333 33 He's gonna build it up to a knighthood isn't a
knighthood, Deborah Hutchinson's Mooresville, Indiana 274.
Wait, isn't she from Zydeco shows. I think she is. Yeah,
right. She's resided it goes. I think she sent us a note
unfortunate wasn't in the know.
I know what it is that Zydeco is still giving away 10% of their
of their take Zydeco his restaurant there and in
Indianapolis 10% of the take goes to goes to the show, and
she's building up her knighthood as well. Her dang
regular and also by the way, Steven pals mockers, and I don't
know why he's not on this database, but he came in at the
last minute. And it's possibly we had a crossover issue because
it propels markers in for 500 plus dollars. Holy
crap. This is great. Wow,
I appreciate and associate sales marker, of course, is our
longest term supporter. He's a patron we have to give him a
special title at Greg Birch, donate two and $50 for his for
his son, Michael Birch, who will be named the executive producer.
Okay. heading off to school needs to build an art portfolio
and designed a black knight. Pin. So that's a pin that we
have to weaken. We're gonna send it to our knights. They're going
to be sent from Port Angeles, Washington. Okay. Water cell G
What is when you
wait a minute, do I have him on the spreadsheet router? I've
tried.
He's not he's not an executive producer. He is a associate
agent later so I want to worry about his butt pronouncing his
easy not an associate. He says Call me Walter as one thing up
there. So
does he not an associate?
No, he's only No not yet. Okay.
So no associates. We only have executive producers. Is that
what you're saying here?
No, no. Deborah and Greg are both and Greg son Michael are
both associates. Okay, but Steven
is full blown. PAL smackers. Yeah. Okay, see once again, all
you have to do is show up and bumble through the spreadsheet.
Good job. You're welcome. Yes. Is that it? Yeah. Okay a couple
of PR mentions then before we move on, as I already said
welcome to all the new listeners to the show who I know that
you're out there because they've been emailing me since my
appearance on the Adam Carolla show yesterday. Also this week
we were featured in a thank you to the new podcast team at
iTunes. They put us on the homepage, which is really nice
with our with our artwork and and a link which should push us
up in some listenership as well. As well as on the homepage of
the the my row guide podcast directory, which apparently is
good for a lot of impressions. And see, there's a new site, but
I don't think it's up yet. But I did like the idea no agenda
words.com. So I wanted to mention that to spur on the
producer who was working on that producer project, whenever we
come up with a word like we had, what do we have the other the
other day, we had expunge, you know, just good words to use to
throw out a cocktail parties. So I'm hoping that gets rolling.
And I just want to call out Nokia as the absolute douchebags
of the week. So there's been an initiative to try and get a
Nokia app, which they have this little widget at the Ovi Store
Ouvea at the ovary store over at Nokia and you basically just
hand off your your podcast feed URL, and then it's supposed to
bake a little widget that you can load on your phone. And this
has been going on for how long now? John? This is like two
months, three months?
It's been a while yeah.
So they finally so Afters like Yeah, we had air via Yeah,
I don't want to get into it. But oh, they lose like a rudderless
ship.
I lost you there for a second. You said you didn't want to get
into it.
But apparently
Well, the only thing I thought was funny is that we were
rejected for a number of reasons. But the number one
reason that and this email just came in today for offensive
content. And offensive language such as the F word the S word
and the N word.
I'm like that's an out and out lie. Yeah, unless done out of
our way not to use the N word
unless the new N word is basically Nokia.
Oh, that could be Yeah.
I just thought that was pretty unbelievable. Like wow, anyway,
and I wanted to test something on your John before we get
rolling here. Because I don't know
Nokia's now the the the n words they police in podcasts of
language? Of course.
Of course. Why Shut up slave lending your business
get? We're on the iPhone. They don't pull these podcasts for
language. They're in there. They're more you're crazy about
this sort of thing. Yeah. Nokia got a hair up. It says I don't
know.
I don't know. But I had to call them out. I want to test
something on you before we move ahead, John. This is an app and
I don't know if it works. It's called stealth tones. And what
this does is it emits a tones that apparently at certain age
ranges you cannot hear it does
work. We've already tested it.
When did we test I didn't test it.
When did we and now I'm talking about weed people on my side of
the of the virtual fencer we have tested it.
Well, I just want to test it with the chat room for a second.
Okay, so if you are under 24 You should be hearing this
a second. Do you hear anything? No, but you're running it at
such a low bit rate as possible. That's not coming through
anyway.
I don't know about that. That bid right has nothing to do with
the well maybe it does. Sure it does. It compresses the
frequency let's say this is if you're younger than 30 You
should be able to hear this. I don't hear it. This is if you're
younger than Mickey can hear these by the way if you're
younger
in the room there but she can't hear it coming over the
net. I don't know about that. This is 39 Wait, yeah, see this
work? That's six. Do you hear that one, right?
No. I can barely hear you. I have to turn up the speakers if
I'm gonna hear this because I forget about
it. Nevermind. Hey, let's thank our executive producers for the
show for episode 225 Victor Oster dolls, Steven Lowe, Glen
Mercer Paul couture, Sir Paul, I should say Charles Jordan and
Steven pals mocker. Steven Pels markers Associate Executive
producers, Michael Birch and Deborah Hutchinson. As you know,
this is a real credit and you should start a couple of people
here in this list gonna start stacking them up. And it's a no
difference between having an executive producer credit on CSI
as it is on no agenda. It's an official Hollywood credit and of
course, we will vouch for you everybody else out there. Go out
and tell your kids to propagate the formula. It's This
formula is this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
Alright, let's do it everybody stay with me
well, I'm figuring there's a couple things we can talk about
right off the bat. But I'd like to save some of them. There's
just a ton of stuff going on. And not one, but two to to the
head moments this past past week.
What was the second one?
Well, oh, the second one was actually the first one. Of
course, we'll have to talk about Senator Ted Stevens. Yeah. The
first one came early in the week, Matt Simmons.
That's yeah, right. Yeah, that's him as well. That's
not a very nice way to talk about someone who was just blown
off. That's not very nice. You
know, what's weird about the Simmons story is that there were
three reports and they're all different on how he died.
Yeah, it started off with a phrase a heart attack, and it
was in a swimming pool, and then it was in his hot tub. And we
know that the hot tub of course, is the the new preferred method
for the, for the CIA of offering somebody you know, the you can
either drown in your hot tub or you can pull the cover over and
suffocate.
Yeah, because it's a common thing you want to cover over
your own hot tub while you're in it.
So Matt Simmons, of course, famously, was criticizing BP for
the oil spill and the government and BP for the handling of the
oil spill. He's also by the way, I think the propagator of the
meme of peak oil that which I personally did not subscribe to
well, he propagated Peak Oil. He also said that by the end of
July, BP would far file for bankruptcy. The guy has been I
have a tape of him in 2006 talking about oil selling for
$300 a barrel by 2007. The guy is just a troublemaker he's
dead. Yeah, well, I think you know, in this case, it's we get
less disinformation now. Well, then maybe have some theory
about why they killed him because I don't see it.
I think you I think you just you call it he was just a
troublemaker and and it's like enough of this guy because he
was on television all over the place. Nah, they just they
couldn't call him enough of an idiot or a kook because he came
up with that whole Peak Oil thing and they just had to get
rid of him.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I
think so. I think this is a clear Come on, John. This is a
clear case of to to the head.
Well, I mean, it fits all the earmarks. I mean, all that was
missing was being a hot in the hot tub in a small plane. Yeah.
And committing suicide.
Let's save the Stevens crash because I have I definitely have
a theory on that. And it's not what you think it would be.
Okay, well, good, because I have a theory to beat your theory.
Well, you want to you want
no no, no, no. You
want to get into it now boys that would no no, no, let's do
something else. Let's, let's let's ease into the show. And
there's plenty of other things to talk about.
Some poor German woman was killed in Union Square while a
couple of gangsters were having to shoot out. Really? Yeah.
Yeah. And now they apparently they can't charge any fight they
got cameras all over the place. Right. This is our great cameras
society spying on everything we do. You mean the gunshot
detectors? Yeah, the gunshot detectors. And of course they
could they got they got videos of all this stuff. But they
can't identify anybody. So
Union Square San Francisco Union Square. Yeah. Like
on Gary and Mason. Wow. And this is the by the way, so I'm
warning people out there. This is a public service that we do
on the no agenda show. Don't go to San Francisco as a tourist.
Especially if you're German. You're gonna get shot
to get to get off your expendable if you'd like
an anniversary. She's you know, with her husband, and they were
here to celebrate and all the restaurants you just takes takes
one step outside the hotel, which is right in Union Square
and gets gunned down in San Francisco. This is not a place
to be
in nor is it a place to be when it comes to the new parking
meters. Have you been following this? We've talked about parking
meter
thing is a complete fiasco. But don't get me started.
Well, I got to get you started because now the new smart
parking meters are going to do so called demand responsive
pricing.
And which I challenge I challenge this bullcrap. Because
I'll tell you right now, the whole area around that to DiMeo
offices. There's millions of these parking meters. Nobody
parks in because there's free parking down the street so that
things are all empty. So by that, by virtue of that theory,
I should be able to walk up to one of those meters and put a
nickel in and get an hour, it's still five minutes for 25 cents.
So the smarter parking meters, which you'll be able to pay with
a credit or debit card and soon with a special SFMTA card will
automatically adjust parking rates based upon supply and
demand. Which means according to this article, you would pay
anywhere between 25 cents an hour Right? to $6 an hour,
right? They don't even give the real top rate here.
$6 an hour is what it is around the MVNO offices 20, which I
believe is correct. If I do my math, right, yeah. And they are
there's nobody parking in these things. How come the price
hasn't gone down?
Have you tried it when when it was empty? Yeah, that's the
same, really. And this is the new smart parking meter.
Well, I mean, there are smart they get the thing I don't know,
that looks me got the little thing where you stick a card in.
Yeah, they have the little bubble thing to let that sit,
they have sensors in the street. Yeah, to make sure that you
actually move your car because you can't actually put money in
the meter and then put more money in the meter later. I
mean, it's just a scam, parking meters in the whole parking
system was originally designed to keep traffic flowing. So the
idea was, you'd park your car. And you were you made a
gentleman's agreement with the city. And you still see this
with the blue discs and France and elsewhere. You make a
gentleman's agreement that you park and your will be gone after
an hour or so depending on what the rates you know how long they
let you stay in so your idea was you'd Park and then you'd go and
you park you go it was never meant to be a source of income
for the city. And then some bean counters showed up so you know,
we can make money off of these meters. Yeah, jack up the price.
All right, I won't get you started.
They should take the meter. You know, they've tried to put
meters in the little town I live in over and over again. And then
the voters get pissed off and they we have no meters in this.
Did I just lose your parking meter should be removed from
every city? It for one thing. It's just overhead that costs
money. It I don't even think it pays for itself that you get you
get some more government employees driving making 129
bucks 129,000 A year driving around in a truck
is ridiculous. Get rid of them. All right.
Portugal, starting today has the dubious honor of being the first
country in the Western world. To have a law that imposes limits
on salt content in bread.
Finally, right baseless bread,
they finally taken it further than any other country is of
course being part of the Codex Alimentarius and the assault on
salt. produce produce. And here it is, produce and bread with
more than 1.4 grams of salt shall be punished with fines of
up to 5000 euros. Brother, how do you test that? How do you
test how much salt is in bread after it's already baked?
Oh, it's not not hard. Really? No, no, you can just dissolve it
in a limited amount of water and do it do it easy test that
probably is easy to do. It's going to dissolve into the into
the liquid that you use. And as you titrate it with something if
you're how much salt there is. It's probably brain dead easy.
Is. Is that enough? 1.4 grams of salt. Is that enough to make it
taste good? Or? I doubt it. There you go. You are officially
the first country and Gitmo nation to have your food
actually altered?
Well, you know, the poor Chinese or you know, amongst those group
the pigs,
Portugal, Italy,
Ireland, yeah, Greece and Spain. And they are probably just
knuckling under to anything because they they they took big
advantage of becoming an EU member and modernize their
entire country is gorgeous over there a great place to visit if
you want to vacation, go there instead of San Francisco would
be better off and the food will be better for sure don't get
shot and you won't get shot. But so they're probably just you
know, they're going along with any programs just so the
pressures taken off of them, you know, so nobody's going to start
looking at them to bust them but you know, bust them down like
they did with Spain. Well, the United put up with this crap,
they'll probably just cheat the system. I get this sense that
the Portuguese are old school. You know, they think they pull a
little like, you know, yeah, whatever at the test and they
make one loaf and those salts.
Roll we'll see. 5000 euros is a pretty
random inspections from the grocery store. And then you say
hey, they lie. Somebody put salt on it. It's bullcrap. here
here's the salt. Here's the salt free loaf. And is an average
salt. They can make a couple of salt free loads for people can
have any salt and then make them salt it up stuff.
Of course the good news is drugs are legal in Portugal, so yeah,
well There's always a silver lining. The United Nations has
come out. They of course, are the ones behind the whole Codex
Alimentarius push. And they're basically saying that you know,
we really can't go on like this eating pigs and cows, we need to
eat insects that
oh, yeah, you beat me to that story.
That's it's a great story, read them. He bugs, Hot Pockets, it
filled with bugs. That's the
story, which gets to me is like this. This is all part of a
vegan, global warming agenda to keep us from eating meat.
By the way, who says that hot pecans aren't already filled
with bugs?
That could be? I don't know, you'd have to test for it. It's
just brain dead easy. So anyway, the
Yeah, so it's against meat? That's correct. It's a gets it
all.
It's all about meat, vegetarians and the vegans.
Wait, there's more to it. Sorry. It's there's more to it. It's
let me just tell you the exact statement. It's to cut levels of
meat consumption worldwide as part of the United Nations
commitment to stamp out famine and, and cut global warming.
Yeah, sciences. Let them eat bugs.
Yeah. So so they come here. Can you imagine the meetings are
going to introduce this to the public? I don't think some
people are going to like the idea of eating bugs. Well, you
know, I think if we just kind of slowly bring him into it.
There'll be eaten bugs, you know, we just had to, and the
funny thing was No, not you mentioned this, I realized that
I got a package about those six months ago. And I don't know if
I don't think I mentioned on the show. I didn't think about it.
But it was some green initiative, sending out
chocolate coated grasshoppers. Yep. And so I got like this
package, chocolate coated grasshoppers, and my daughter
and her friend. They both ate one. Yeah, and said that they
were delicious. They were delicious. They were they said
they were good there Chris like eating. It's like eating a
KitKat bar. It's got that crunchy. Crunchy. Yeah, so it's
like a KitKat with a real cat inside. Anyway, it was like this
little bug and I refused to eat it and it had like green and had
a bunch of green logos. And it's good for you. It's good for the
environment, all this other crap.
Lots of awards. Well, you can I mean, this is being integrated
already, by the way on selectors telling
the people what they what they what these governments really
think of you out there, you're eating worms and bugs and
roaches.
I am telling you in our lifetime, John, we will see hot
pockets with bugs. And it'll be and it'll have labels of
greenness on it. But from edible.com You can now get a
pack of giant toasted ants. Hmm, yes, they are an inch long these
toasted ants. And they have a nutty bacon like taste with an
earthy spicy kick. They are according to the marketing
to famine mode. This seems to be you know, this will have
something to it's the perfect party snack books for the no
agenda book club. And the rest of these people have documented
our entertainment site. Yeah, it's called I have to get let me
get the author, but the book title is called unmentionable
cuisine. And this is done from I believe was the University of
North Carolina Press. And it's a cookbook that is huge. It's
pretty big. And it's a duck this this professor documented every
recipe in the world for like dog and rat, and and cat and various
bugs and worms and strange things that you wouldn't think
you could eat. And in fact, most of the recipes for the rat were
developed by the French during the French Revolution where the
French had to eat something other than nothing to eat. And
so they were started eating the rats of Paris and some of these
recipes are pretty interesting. I mean because the French you
know, they if you're gonna eat rat, you might as well make it
taste good.
When we get get into the show a little bit further on. I think
there is some validity to this and I think there's some
reasoning behind the fact that they're starting to get us
accustomed to the idea of eating bugs because we do have some
major food problems on the horizon and if you look at the
futures of wheat you know there's the we are on the verge
of some very very significant problems, particularly when you
look at the weather world right worldwide right now.
Well your crystal wheat fields are Russia Bernie so they're
going to stop their wheat exports. So you might want to
think about buying some wheat futures. The by the way, I think
and then that thing the next thing they're gonna do is
they're gonna have an eating boogers. Juveniles
bug pockets Now from the people who brought you hot pockets, we
bring you button pockets. Yum, great party snack. tasty and
good for you. But yeah, burgers are next. No problem.
Most of the people in the United Nations already do that, by the
way, eat burgers.
So I noticed in your clips you didn't have anything about Naomi
Campbell.
Yeah, I know. It's a shame. I kind of just didn't even pay any
attention. What's the latest? Well, let
me just fire up. So, Naomi Campbell, we now have full
testimony from her. And also from her former agent, Carol
white. And this thing is that you could turn this into a into
a mini series. I mean, literally a movie of the week. It's so
amazing. But of course, the best testimony comes from Mia Farrow
and I just like to play some of that at the International
Criminal Court in The Hague. I might remind you at this
breakfast, by the way, who are all these people, these judges
on this Starfleet Command?
Did we play this last show? No, we didn't play me
a pharaoh. Did we play meat? No, no, it was my wish had come true
that she would testify.
Yeah, and that was a clip. No.
I don't think so. Oh, that's
okay. We can play it again. Well, but But let me ask you
this. You always call in me on these.
I may be wrong, but it's it's just too nutty. But this
International Criminal Court who are these judges? Who are these
people? You know, they're wearing like red capes that they
wear red, red garbs
Yeah, they're wearing costumes is a kangaroo court. It's
ridiculous in the fact that anybody pays any attention or
takes it seriously or thinks we should be members and and be
subject to their edicts is beyond me.
Well, just just in case I we already played me a pharaoh. Let
me play you the testimony from her former agent Carol white,
and the rebuffing that goes on from Charles Taylor. Evil
warlords. Definitely didn't play those attorney. No, we didn't
play that. Nor did we actually play Naomi Campbell's full
testimony, which is just hilarious. I've
been looking for finding the full testimony I have not found
yeah, I've gotten most
of it. So this is from Sky News. And here is what's her name?
Again, Carol
arrangements at the end of the dinner, that some men had been
dispatched to Johannesburg, which was about two hours away,
I believe, to collect some diamond. And to bring them back
to the guest house
was the discussion about the arrangement at the dinner table.
So this is the the lawyer for Taylor, the guy who was using
blood diamonds to buy weapons,
maybe with Naomi, but I knew about that, after the dinner
when we stood up and talked with the minister of defense. And I
believe Charles Taylor was there for a second, about the
logistics of getting these diamonds to Naomi Campbell.
Did you hear any discussion about arrangements at the dinner
table? And don't really recall. Well try and help us please. Did
you hear any arrangements being made at the dinner table as to
how the diamonds were to be delivered?
I heard about the diamonds being delivered. And it was my
understanding it already started. The men had already
started on their journey. And I heard that some of the 10 so
these guys actually are
way way way way. So in other words, so in other words, there
was information
before before because it would they were talking about at the
dinner table with Nelson Mandela I might point out Yeah, clean as
a whistle he is but we've got to we got to listen to Naomi
Campbell because it's just too funny when you hear this
horrible woman who commits acts of violence upon people with
objects of hardness like cell phones, and she was flirting
with this Charles Taylor I got pictures in the show notes of
her like grabbing his ass almost you know in like a group picture
and she's like all hugging him and she knew because like I know
I'm getting a diamond and then of course she was really
disappointed when they turned out to be a couple of dirty
rocks was a bizarre stupid to know what what diamonds look
like in the
second clips going yeah, no
I you know I think there's a there's a there's a little
discrepancy here that's worth noting. She gave these she got
these rocks she obviously wanted them at the dirty rocks and but
when she talked to me a pharaoh and I don't doubt Pharaohs
account of this at least, you know she's a little nutty, but
she she was Oh I just got this big diamond, I'm thinking and
she got a big diamond and a couple of dirty rocks and a
couple of little ones and she gave the little ones to her
attorney saying get rid of these things. You know, I can't
probably can't get them out of the country and then smuggled
the big diamond those places in your body you can hide a rock.
And I left the country with and she's still probably either
still has it or she had it made to have just had it cut. Who
knows? Well, let's listen just first. I don't know.
Yeah, well, apparently they were already talking about it before
she got them that evening. And it's the whole thing is it just
it just shows you how elitism works it sleazy yesterday
against her will to give evidence under oath. I solemnly
swear in the Bible.
Why, since when does the Bible have anything to do with the
International Criminal Court? She's standing there swearing on
the Bible. I need to understand how this thing works,
that I will speak the truth that I will speak the truth, the
whole truth or truth and nothing but the truth and nothing but
the truth.
The supermodel was asked whether she was given conflict diamonds
by the African dictator, Charles Taylor, at this charity dinner
held by Nelson Mandela in 1997.
When I was sleeping, I had a knock at my door. And I opened
my door. And two men. Were there and gave me a pouch. The pouch
said a gift for you.
We ran this lesson. No what time?
No. Well, people can go. I mean, there's there's a lot of gems in
here. We didn't run the whole thing. But it's okay. I can tell
your board. It's fine.
It's okay. Really? She beats around the bush.
Yeah. Anyway, the thing that really gets me it's just looking
at this footage and looking at this court, what is this court?
Who are these people who died and made them God? And why do we
have to swear on the Bible? You know, is this a court that by
whose laws How does it work? And well, we know why it's in the
Netherlands. Because of course, that is a lead Central. But it's
just, it's just unbelievable. Unbelievable. They're there get
ups and it's just,
ya know, I find the whole thing abhorrent?
Yes, it's a great word.
Anyway. What's gonna come of it, and what are they going to do?
And what's Why is Charles Taylor locked up by these people in The
Hague?
Yeah. And how come Nelson Mandela gets a free ticket? I
mean, it was at his house. Yeah. What crime was committed in his
house him in a crime committed in his house?
Yeah, I don't know. Next,
okay, let me hop on the Haiti train for a moment. Then a
little more information about Wyclef shawl. And the aircraft
because of course, that's where some of my expertise lies. This
is when he was departing onto the tarmac in his politician get
up as he is now. More than likely going to become the
president of Haiti. He stepped out of a Gulfstream four with
tail number two number 254 Golf alpha. So I've gotten a little
more information. This is actually owned, by or leased by,
I'm sorry, we know it's owned by the Gulfstream corporation but
leased by net jets Middle East limited. Now, that should ring a
couple bells. And I've looked at some of the passenger manifests
it is often used by Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and and
and who Bill Clinton. Oh, that's hilarious. Good call. Yeah,
it's like so find that out. Well, there's so much
information is available. I'm sure they'll lock this down now
so that you can't find any more information on this plane will
become a black plane. Or he just won't use it anymore. But yeah,
this is you know, it's very obvious and what Sean Penn in
eloquently said is true. The guy is sponsored by big corporations
big oil that's what the whole Haiti thing is about. They've
sold off pieces of the island actual pieces of the island to
an oil refinery. We've uncovered that on previous episode of no
agenda to create a huge refinery ships can pull right up no
problem. And Billy Boy Clinton will be responsible for all the
nice hotels and casinos
on the north shore on the North Shore. What's the does Sean Penn
bring up the Clinton stuff?
No, no, he didn't. He just said he just said corporations which
I
think although he didn't he doesn't see the Clinton
connection any of this.
I mean, you mind but you know, he flakes out he flakes out a
good guy. There is there is good news. The Bush the Clinton Bush
Haiti fund has finally publicly awarded some money to See if I
have the guy's name here
to the artists of Jack Mel $50,000 to this artist who has
trademark is making paper mache sculptures in Haiti.
I know it's like government work
$50,000 to a guy who makes paper mache. Meanwhile,
you know Haiti, Haiti, where they get paid a quarter a day
ask Sean Penn what he could do with $50,000 to help some people
who are dying. It's just unbelievable. And then this is a
new story. Daz is great. Although not a massive sum. The
story reads, it is for that guy. The grant will fund the
rebuilding of 10 Atul yeas, destroyed in January's
earthquake and literally put new roofs over the heads of a team
of artists. Ah, man. Yeah, exactly. So our eyes are on you
Billy Boy. And Wyclef John boy.
Yeah. And all the good that does?
Yeah. Now? Well, well, we'll keep our eyes and we can just
keep exposing. That's about all we can do. We have no power.
Right.
So let's get back to the Ted Stevens thing now. Okay,
although I do have a little bit of kind of, I have a kind of a
crossover story if you want to share this easily. Sure. It
turns out this is like kind of between Real News. And but this
is a story that just shows you the kind of the kind of problems
we're having. You know, greed is an issue in the world of
business and government.
And there's no difference between the two, apparently.
So Chuck Schumer, and 10 co sponsors have introduced and
this is from metal filter, have introduced the innovative design
protection and piracy Prevention Act. It's it's essentially
designed to give the, you know, the fashion industry, which was
who has some of the greatest millionaires and billionaires in
the world, because they make so much money off of the fashion,
the idea of fashion, they're trying to get the this is a
front organization, a front bunch of congressmen fronting
for the fashion business, to try to make it so you could patent
and copyright designs of clothes.
Yeah. Which, of course, is the whole fashion industry is based
upon copying, it's the way it works. You have the old couture,
you have the big fashion shows, and then h&m and all these boys
knock them off.
And so they have to come to the next cycle. That's why you have
all these seasons, and you'd have this turnover of clothes.
And these guys make millions and millions of dollars because of
it, because there is no, you know, copyright of fashion. But
now they want to make it so there is no these big companies
can just do essentially what the fashion industry would like or
what the what the CEOs of these big corporations would love
nothing better than is why do we have to go through all this
trouble making this new designs every year? Why don't we just
get it copyrighted? Nobody can copy it. And if anybody does,
we'll just buy them. And it will just become some, you know, just
produce kind of communist style clothing, blue jeans that gets
everybody dressed the same men don't give a crap anyway. And
women, you know, they can eat it. You know, we're just get
them off this fashion track. And we'll just use growling money
and nobody can, you know, it's no one
can touch us. No one can touch us, right?
It's ridiculous. The kind of laziness that said, and this is
why we get government workers making $125,000 a year.
And you have a link to this story that I can show right now.
Yeah, I definitely want to investigate this that would kind
of destroy the whole fashion industry, though.
But they don't care. It wouldn't destroy their bottom line. Who's
behind this then? Schumer does some congressmen
who by the way, is the icon of fashion.
I don't know what companies are, but you can assume is like Nike
or some of these guys like that have all these you know, little
logos and things you'd like to protect. It's got to be I can't
believe it's a European idea. It's got to be American.
It can't be. It can't be people who are really into the fashion
industry because they live on that though. That's the whole
idea.
Yeah, they live on turnover. Okay, then it was just an
interesting little thing that's happening is another decimation
of, you know, whatever rights we have left.
All right. So a plane goes down in Alaska, nine people on board,
some interesting players, a former NASA and now Airbus guy,
Senator Ted Stevens, who of course, very controversial
figure and And I definitely have a theory, but I think it's
better if we hear yours first. Because
why would it be better if you heard mine first? Because just
trust me. All right. Stevens cropped up in Washington DC in
late 2009. All of a sudden, after he was, you know, he
essentially was first charged with an ethics violation. And
then they, after they found him guilty in a court of law, and he
lost his election, the the government says, Well, you know,
it probably was a there was mishap, you know, they
was never convicted, he was never convicted because of
procedural issues.
Right. And then it they thought it was prosecutorial misconduct,
and they were going to actually throw the book at the
prosecutors and indict them. And but, you know, this is all after
the fact because they already lost his his election. So he's
out now, so who cares? I mean, they just wanted to get rid of
and they want to get him out of office, they, you know, they're
just gonna screw the guy for one reason or another. I will
mention this, by the way, I was watching and I have some clips
from democracy now and Democracy Now insist, when they gave his
obit on calling me a convicted violator, you know, they really
made it just not true, which I know it's a lie. But that's just
the democracy. Now they you know, they don't want to give
you the real details. They want to give you the Democrat,
liberal progressive angle on things that which is sometimes
skewed. Right. So anyway, so he shows up in Washington, DC, you
know, he's not a happy camper. And he's floating around with a
couple of Ghostrider ghostwriters. And he makes it
clear in public that he's going to do his memoirs. And everybody
knows for a fact that these memoirs aren't going to be very
amenable to the powers that be that got him kicked out. So he's
run the track to spill his guts about stuff to God knows what
next thing you know, he's dead.
Do you know that his memoirs received a grant for blue from
BP? A million dollar grant from BP? Yes. Nice. Yeah, that's
convenient. So you think that this was a hit a total two to
the head on Stephens because his memoirs, were going to come out
and, and embarrass a lot of people.
Yeah. And he would if you looked at the committees he was on, he
was on a lot of committees. In fact, he was on the homeland
security committee, subcommittee. Oh, no, the
committee and then he was on a bunch of sub intelligence
subcommittees, he was floating around that whole area. He knew
a lot of dinos where a lot of skeletons are hidden. He's, you
know, he's too old. He's getting kind of weird. They couldn't
take a chance. The BP thing probably has something to do
with it. Because they said, you know, you got to tell the story
about you know, the truth about something. When So, boom, he's
dead.
Yeah, possible. Possible. I approach it from a different
angle.
Is this a topper?
I think it might be. So of course, when I hear about an
aviation accident, I immediately start investigating what
happened and and all of the mainstream news reports have
absolutely no information whatsoever. They don't even pull
out the bad weather card. Other than that, it was bad weather
which hampered rescue efforts. But they just said you plowed
into a mountain. Right? There's nothing there nothing place.
What happens every day? Yeah. So I look into who's piloting the
plane. And the guy piloting the plane is Terry Smith. Now Terry
Smith is a very, very experienced pilot and these bush
pilots, by the way, these guys who fly otters and his Havilland
they know what they're doing okay. Yes, things happen. But
they do know the guy had 29,000 flight hours. He actually I
think was chief pilot at Alaska Air. The guy it's not not
something for him to just you know, right after takeoff
because it was only it was very close to where they took off
from from this lodge, to then have such a catastrophic
accident. So you would immediately have to figure some
kind of failure on the craft. Now when you look into Terry
Smith, his son in law died just two weeks ago. While flying a C
17 aircraft in the same region. What happens he takes off plane
crashes a couple minutes after takeoff a C 17. So he's starting
to feel me yet. I'm listening is kind of a coincidence. All
right, now you have to bear with me Don't go Oh, brother
immediately on me. Okay.
They do it before you do anything out of the way, just to
Oh, brother little brother. Now let's look around the world
right now. Currently, we have here Huge flooding in China,
India. We have Russia burning. We have Japan 21,000 People in
hospital for due to heat stroke. We have Africa severe drought.
We have very crazy weather going on in the southern hemisphere.
Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, extremely cold, California
extremely cold. So what does this do? This is messing up our
food supply. This is why I alluded to it earlier. And now
you have to go and look at the charts. What has been on
consistently for the past couple of weeks is the Harper ray in
Alaska. These they had been beaming and had been modifying
the weather for weeks. And this is and you can just look around
you know and the East Coast of America were frying and the east
coast so what happened is these guys were I don't know if it was
intentional, but it would make it would be very convenient for
for a Senator Stevens. They got fried by a Tesla beam from this
Harper Ray. And what happens is
like a nice logical exposition I know the second half of the show
material.
You guys stay with me. So what happens is Terry, who's good for
Terry Smith is good friends with Steve and says, Dude, this
accident with my son in law that's messed up, there's
something weird going on it has to do with a Harper Ray. He he
they're up there together, they actually want to do some
investigative work as well. And they get fried there's no other
reason for this plane to come down unless they can give me a
reason which they're not doing. The NTSB is shutting up
everyone's completely quiet. Normally, when you see an
accident they say oh, okay, well so here's what happened. Here's
what it looked like. Now it's just like the wings were bent
off of this thing. Bent off not broken off bent off okay,
there's so many anomalies that I absolutely am convinced that
there's some kind of weirdness going on and you put all of that
weather related stuff together and the harp array as we know
isn't Alaska this was a Friday job
all right. Makes no sense but my as opposed to my argument, which
makes some sense but you can stay with that theory I mean,
that's just not to shot it was just an accident is what no no
no I'm saying it's total to to to the head but it's it's
because they were in kind of
you know, they've been killing people in the small planes for
what decades without using laser beam harp and or whatever the
you know, it's being used for most people mostly for
telecommunications by the way the but with bombs and you know,
and screwing up the plane in one way or another but now they're
gonna get carried away does that make any sense? Let's just put a
bomb on the thing and blow it up out of the in the sky.
No, this is a lot more convenient. Remember we had a
very experienced pipeline convenient Yes. All they have to
do is just turn the antenna like three degrees and zap the sky
there's
there's a lot of people involved with this facility would put
planning a bomb yet
name one name one person you know involved with this facility
you have no idea no one knows anyone from this facility.
But there's people there's more than one lone guy floating
around some covert agent it's coming
from the guy who thinks there's to Obama's just telling me that
this is this is outrageous
to Obama's only involves one person that you didn't get this
this Harper is not operated by one guy by himself getting
messages over some code lately.
They even sent in a hit squad to make sure the right people were
dead. Listen to the differences between the two BBC reports. The
first report comes out. Five people were at the scene earlier
on Tuesday helping the victims of the flight but it's unclear
how they reach the wreckage. According to the National Guard,
the National Guard in Alaska reported that a private medical
team had been dropped near the area of the crash by a
commercial helicopter on Tuesday. Uh huh. That now their
air dropping guys in so we know what that team was doing. And
then they change this report. And we have PDFs of the of the
web pages. Several local Samaritans had reached the
wreckage before rescuers could arrive and tended to the
survivors. Please, please, they went in made sure that they were
that they were well taken care of. And there is a full scale
war going on. And we're not we're not opening our eyes
because it's so big. It's as big as the mountain that they flew
into that there's a weather war going on a full scale weather
war and the United States is propagating it. Why else do you
think Russia is burning up because all of a sudden this
just happens? It's like crazy. It was a global warming John,
what's your rational warming? Okay, just want
the pie possibility of, you know, some sort of a weather
war, which I don't think has anything to do with this
particular instance of Ted Stevens. But because and I would
say that if there was global warming would be the good cover
story. Because it's like, what if people notice that this is
going on? You know, what are we going to how we're going to
explain it? Well, we've got global warming, that's what's
doing it.
So that's what the that's what they're saying about the East
Coast that's being used to bring in our cap and trade regulations
and all the rest. It's people are dying everywhere. You don't
even hear a breath on the news about the 1000s of people who
have drowned from flooding. And this the HAARP array has been on
consistently it's on its frying stuff.
How do you know it's arm on?
You? Can the frequencies are known? You can you can, you can
actually listen to it. You can do there's there's shortwave
radio sites everywhere on the net that monitor HAARP all the
time. And it's on.
You're gonna have links in the show notes. Sure. Of course, of
course. All right, well, I consider this crazy. Okay. But
again, I mean, we don't have an explanation for the crash. But
I gave I gave you the explanation. They were
investigating what was going on why this guy's son in law, all
of a sudden
diner was hardware was Harpy. In regards to the plane crash?
Where's HAARP? Located up there? And where was the plane? Was it
crowd nearby? It was walking distance, what they're doing
rounded
you all you have to do is just focus the beam. It's that
simple. I'll tell you where it is that simple
care.
Well, that look, they're frying Russia. I know, I know, you
don't believe this. That's okay.
That's okay. You can It's fine. It's fine. If you want to go off
in that direction. It's okay,
I need to put it out there because I really believe that
there is a the the frequency is three point 39 megahertz, that's
where you can hear them. And the actual location, not someone in
the chat room will know what the actual locations but doesn't
matter is up there in Alaska. And I think that this guy's son
in law, maybe accidentally flew through the beam. And, and, you
know, and and the plane got fried and went down. And they
were possibly flying in the same area, or they were investigating
and they just got fried and it was convenient because Stevens
was a pain in the butt anyway. But I think Stevens was probably
helping the guy. Stevens is a big pain in the ass. He knows
what's going on. He knows what's going on in Alaska. He knows
about HAARP. And then they send in BP to go finance the
archives. So we'll never see anything. They now effectively
own the archive. So none of that stuff will ever come out.
That's convenient for your theory. Yeah,
well for yours too.
Real, I suppose. All right. So that will keep us
but it's radiation week. By the way, in case you hadn't noticed.
We have radioactive wild boars in Germany. We have radio
radiation in the streets of Berlin. And of course, the
Moscow fires, you know, all of this all the wood that has been
radiated or whatever is now going to put radiation into the
air. That's the meat of the week is rich radiation week. And you
got the memo?
Yeah, I missed the memo on that one. But after after that fine
exhibition of crackpot madness, I think it's time we take our
little of you by the way, I want to get a telephone ringing. So
when we ask him for donations and support and contributions
that we have the phone ringing in the background, because I'm
noticing PBS using it more than usual, really the old fashioned
one to the phone that nobody owns anymore.
Let me see if I can find one for you. I was when I was on the
Adam Carolla show, you know, of course, we brought up business
models and stuff like that. And I said, Well, you know, PbS is
I, PBS are a bunch of Jack offs. And I said, you know, they use
this fake. They use a sound loop and they're like, oh, yeah, I
never thought about that. So yeah. Because you know, you're
so conditioned. People don't realize that. I don't have a
sound
effect there. We'll get one and we will make a background track.
I'll have it looped. So I want to thank some people who donated
to the show in the last week or so. And I want to start by I'm
gonna let fact I'm gonna let Adam mentioned the first one.
Okay, this sister. Yeah, he says Walter, but I'll call him by his
his birth name voter cell j from Hilversum. The Netherlands. This
donation is to get me $333.33 away from my knighthood not
counting my monthly 3333 donations. I'd also like some
good karma from my mom who's getting a new hip in two weeks
time. My last donation will be on 1010 Two 2010 seems like the
perfect day to get knighted, as it's my birthday that day as
well. I think Adam should spend this money on iTunes downloads
for some DSC shows. Love the show that just kept me sane in
an insane world for the past few years. Oh, and John, please come
back to the chat room. But it helps if you register your NIC
yet because I get kicked off. So by the way, I think we might we
might do a special I think maybe within the next month or so, or
soon as possible. Do a special donation drive for 1010 10 This
is only going to happen once every 1000 years.
I'm doing my donation thing man. I'm doing my rings.
It sounds like such sounds like some it sounds like somebody's
killing a cat. Sounds good here. piercing my ears.
Well, I have different ones. Have a ring that's a great ring.
What are you talking about? It's a perfect ring. This triggers
people immediately I must send money. I need to send money.
So anyway 1010 10 is a big deal because 1010 day for one thing
is a Chinese Lucky day and then 1010 10 has got to be Wow. And
that's coming up. Brian Rogers Newton New Jersey $101 and one

start my march toward knighthood. Please use this as a
token of my appreciation for better bandwidth in the last few
episodes has been a struggle. Keep up the good work and I look

and checked to see if their monthly donations were still on
and some of them had indeed been canceled Pay Pal has this
mysterious way of canceling things these these monthly
donations and it's no one really understands how it happens.
Yeah that sometimes you change your card number or you or maybe
your card date changed or who knows whatever the case is the
drugs they drop it boom really fast.
Justin Stokes says in the morning I bought one of the

Or maybe you can just get on the night rings John it's just the
just a thought I could. So I want to play just a quick bit of
audio because people may not understand our model. The
formula of course is simple going out and hitting people in
the in the mouth. But Bill Hicks who was he died a little how
many years ago to Bill Hicks die.
The Rock and Roll guy Bill Hicks, the
comedian Bill Hicks.
Oh that guy I don't know that he's dead is he?
Oh yeah. Yeah, he's been dead for a number of years I'm sure.
I don't know he and he was a real go out and hit him in the
mouth kind of guy and here's what he had to say about
commercials and this is more about doing a commercial but it
really does explain why we do not take any money for
commercials we don't do commercials we don't take
commercial money because well listen to the here's the deal
folks. You do a commercial
you're off the artistic roll call forever.
End of story. Okay,
you're another corporate fucking shell you're another whore at
the capitalist gangbang and if you do a commercial there's a
price on your head everything you say is suspect and every
word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling
into my drink and that's the truth it says summarizes it
that's the truth and that's why we're not in the Nokia Ovi Store

at no agenda.
Now we did have some douchebag call outs that I saw in the Pay
Pal thing. I'm not seeing him in my list here.
Okay. But while you're looking for that, let me again, thank
everybody who is on the under $50 A month donation list. As
you know, that's where we keep anonymous, and everyone who's on
the on the monthlies, particularly the mothership
boarding pass only 1000 of them actually 999 Because I'm on
board John is staying behind to fight the zombies. And if you
would like to sponsor this show, which is completely listener
supported, go to divorce act.org/and. A, of course, you
can find the link at no agenda show.com. And for the firewall
challenge, it's channel DeVore act.com/in. And I'm sorry, yeah,
channel divorce.com/and. A we popped up in a couple of virus
scanners for some reason. Oh, really? Yeah. The AV a virus
scanner decided that that we were no good.
Who's we
know agenda and Dvorak?
No agenda show.com. Yeah, our XML
feed all of a sudden was no good. And it contained the virus
so they said and a lot of people notice this a lot of people sent
me email about it. And I guess a lot of people went back to the
company and said, Hey, and they change it now we're off.
So we're back on the good list. We're gonna what cut what what
caused the trigger? I think,
you know, someone can just push a button and say this is bogus.
You know, someone probably got got angry at us.
This is do we have to be diligent about this? Well, our
producers luckily are very Yeah, luckily they are. That's the
great thing about being open source. I mean, one of the
things you know, Paul couture apparently is offered his idea
of these challenge coins to other people. And they just told
him to shove it.
Yeah, like, Oh, you're taking our brand. Are you kidding?
Can't do that. That's no good.
I mean, if you're gonna go the route we're taking and again, go
to dvorak.org/na and help us do this. We are completely Oh, Open
Source we we we do ask for donations and contributions and
support because we we are essentially giving away
everything I mean we give our brand name is out there for
anyone to use and some people have misused it and some people
most people haven't yet you trust the public you trust
people to start their own initiative they have no agenda
book club you know we don't have a no
agenda tv.com me there's tons tons of sites all out there
for people to take advantage of the situation but it's open
source and it says shows you the power of just letting you know
letting things grow on their own instead of trying to be control
freaks, which is an old model that is dying. And what has
resulted in in the country itself as a fractal are
government employees getting $125,000 a year while you get
Jack we got to play the John cedars borax
the old model literally is dying. John the latest Nielsen
data shows that the median viewership of mainstream
television which of course includes mainstream television
news is well here's the list ABCs median age 51, CBS 55 NBC
49 and Fox 44 They don't have the young audience anymore and
they're gonna the some of these networks are getting like CBS
are getting so old that they're actually the network themselves
as the network's gonna get a Social Security check.
It won't be very big, but they'll be getting one.
Yeah. won't be as big as a government workers paycheck. You
should get
one in the morning for that one. That was good. That'll anyway,
remember what you you said many times about Robert Gibbs, the
spokes hole for President Obama and the administration. This is
the guy who does his daily show the Robert Gibbs show in front
of the pressing does little stand up and I'm so cool. What
have you said a couple times about him
he's a douchebag
Yeah, well besides that what that he's coked out Oh
yeah, well he sounds coked out if I talk like this on the show
let is the job so here we talk a kind of like this sort of like
you had to just assume that you have a cold but if it never goes
away probably got something called coke hated by those
So Cindy she Han has called him out. Now unfortunate don't have
a sound. I don't think there is a sound clip of what Gibbs said.
But it blew up that he What will it do when he made all these
comments about progresses? Yeah. Liberal. Yeah,
he said they should have their urine tested for drugs. Yeah.
And as Cindy she Han has thrown down the gauntlet and said, Hey,
we should test your urine douche. I think that's a really
good idea. We should test that guy for drugs. We should test
all of them for drugs. I bet you they're high as a kite there in
the West Wing.
Well, you know you gotta work hard. You know sometimes you
need a little you need an energy boost. When Red Bull won't do
the trick.
I can just see Gibbs snort and blow off of Lindsay Lohan has
asked me to hurt you. Just to show you how that Ministry of
Truth really works. Charlie Gasper Rondo gasps Marino who
used to work at CNBC. I'm sure you've seen this guy on the air.
He now works at Fox Business, of course, that no one watches. And
so he was on. O'Reilly I'm surprised you haven't you didn't
see this. Maybe you did, talking about the meeting that Jeffrey
Immelt who of course, it's on the President's Economic
Advisory Board. And of course, General Electric up until this
recent merger with Unum was universal. I hate Comcast. I'm
sorry. Comcast, of course now owns audible town. Yeah, they
own all of the NBC properties, but it was owned by General
Electric. During the run up, of course, the Obama elected
election to the elections and Obama being put in the White
House and listen to what he has to say about the meeting that
was called between Immelt, the CEO of GE, owner of all the NBC
properties, and, and all of the station managers of these
different properties. I talked that up really well. But I for
some reason can't
Yeah, I don't know why, but I won't play
it's pissing me off. I'm sorry.
Ah, it'll play eventually.
No. Let me try it again. No, they've taken it off. The air
doesn't work anymore. Jesus.
God, just give us a rundown.
I have the transcript maybe it'll play. Well, it was
interesting. There was it turned out to be true. I think the New
York Post reported Robo Baba Jeff Immelt, Chairman of GE
which used to own me So universal called incident, the
senior staff clearly was worried, according to the people
just refreshed, according to people that this is an abortion.
This whole page is seven days term. Yeah, this whole page is
like freaking out. There was a meeting about the possibility
that the NBC stations were becoming too anti
administration. This is when the Obama and yeah, this is when the
Obama administration first took over. And some of the spending
plans came out and the markets reacted. And so then a Riley
says to me that himself introduced on the editorial
position of CNBC because he felt that you weren't giving Obama a
fair shake. And then gasp, Marino says, yeah, they're gonna
deny it officially. But the way it worked is people got called
into the meeting, they were basically read the riot act, the
question of whether they were being fair to the president was
brought up. So emiltt literally brought in all of the all of the
network execs and said, You're not being fair to the President.
You've got to come, you've got to tone it down. And you've got
to stop being anti administration.
Really? Wow. Well, you know, it's not as though we didn't
deconstruct this. I know, but it's an I wish I could always
Yeah, it's always good to get confirmation. Yeah, in one way
or another. And I believe its value is true, because CNBC was
a little harsh on occasion. And they, you know, CNBC has kind of
a problem because they, they a lot of people blame them for
the.com collapse. And in along with magazines, like Forbes,
with none of nobody picked up on anything. Yeah, yeah. Well,
they're just boosters. And there was a lot of stories going
around in the late 90s. About how if you went on CNBC as a
guest, and you had any kind of bearish negative information
that you are promoting, that you would never get, never get
invited back, right, you're all gonna be a bull. Yeah, you're
gonna just pump pump pump. And so the whole thing was just
like, you know, crazy. And so then when the thing collapsed,
they had, you know, they were partly responsible in some, you
know, in some psychic way anyway. But anyway, the, so more
recently, they have been very aware of this, this reputation
of theirs. And so they've been doing a lot of negative stuff,
even though when they had a real opportunity, for example, when
the guys the guys with this book came out, I cuz I saw this show.
And we're slamming Lehman Brothers saying that these guys
are gonna go broke and everyone is in the company, and they were
doing and they and they did CNBC folks, it was the one of their
morning shows and all this bogus, you know, you have no
proof. And they, you know, basically rousted the guys and
wouldn't let them really explain their position. Or they led me
to explain it, but they poo pooed it. And so of course, when
layman did collapse, it was like, wow, you know, CNBC is
back on track being just boosters. And so they have this
reputation, or they tried it. I think when they did, I think
they did attempt to go that way. And so then they get called on
the carpet, that's not good.
Well, it's how and
I mean, what do you think that MSNBC stands out as a standalone
sub network would more than make up for anyone who had anything
negative to say? So they essentially they're saying that
all of NBC and of course, we deconstructed a lot of stuff
from like their some of their dramas, in fact, that we're just
boosting the President is just a shill for the, for the for the
White House?
Well, I think there's the whole thing is it's all a setup and
all of
it is a big contractor for the government. Exactly.
But then when you look at how the financial news and and just
the news networks in, which basically do a lot with, with
Wall Street and the whole game, and you look at what's really
going on, have you in Horowitz talked about these weird robot
trades? Have you seen Have you seen these charts?
We talked about this quite a bit actually,
the what they're calling the crop circles, market data
charts, now. It's well, so what's happening is these, this
is a part of the high, the high frequency the flash trading,
they come in, and within a second, they'll do like 1000
bids or asks. And that, of course, over time and time in
this case is a couple of seconds to maybe a minute, it boosts the
price of a stock. Yeah. So here, I'll just send you the link so
you can take a look at it. So the people are now not news. But
what's interesting is to see the charts where you can actually
see the different algorithms that are being used. And it's
happening in such high end. First of all, it's illegal you
can you're not allowed to go into an open market and trade
just to boot and do bids just to boost the stock. You have to
actually do that with the intent to buy or sell. But when you see
how these these hot these high frequency rams are illegal,
where's it illegal?
Oh, that's, that's a that's a law. That's the law. The SEC
law. No, I I'm quite sure it is,
you find it and cite it.
Okay. I mean, I'm not an expert. So I could be wrong.
I'm not to be an expert to find insights, something I'll look
for guys have been doing this for you for ever since it was
they went to computerized trading. But have you had any? I
mean, you can't they couldn't possibly be a law because for
example, the computerized trading system whether there's,
you know, the flash trading is new, but the computerized
trading system, which accounts for like the EU, which kind of
benefits the market in a lot of different ways by balancing
things, if the market starts to collapse, and the computers kick
in and start selling. It's the equivalent. I mean, there you're
not buying and selling for any other purpose, you need to get
the hell out of there. No, I don't think you're gonna find
you're not going to find documentation for this. The
Flash trading is legal.
No, I'm not saying the flash trading is Eleague. Well, you
know, I really don't know, I have to say, I don't know, I
read. I was pretty sure I read it somewhere that it was
illegal. But what just really hit me is when you said that in
the shownotes. Obviously, we're looking at this chart to see the
chart. It's amazing, you know, and it's just all these little
blips all in a row within one second. 1000 different 1000
different offers.
Yeah, that are just meant market manipulation technique. Right.
Okay. So
you're not allowed to manipulate markets? No, he didn't say that.
Okay.
All right. But it's what is used is what it ends up being used
for. But the proof is another thing. Yeah, I know. I don't
know. Stay out of the market. That's my Yeah,
buy gold. Go get some of those Glenn Beck gold coins. That's
what you need to do. Take it back. Go get some of those.
That's really good. You got some clips. John, I'd love to hear
some.
Yeah, I got here. I got it. There's an interesting one. i
It's a series of four clips that I got from the Democracy Now.
Show, which is just a whole I mean, it's a very difficult show
to get through. But But they did find there's a thing called the
national security letter, which became scandalous during the
Bush administration. But just playing this this is like, we
know we have you would think that in this country, we'd have
respect for the First Amendment or right to free speech. And
this brings up a couple of topics. The national security
letter, which was the the FBI handed out nearly 200,000 of
these things to people. You don't know who they are, because
nobody could talk about and there's like essentially given
you a letter from the FBI, which essentially was a nondisclosure
thing that you were forced to agree to, by virtue of the fact
that they told you to a secret. It's like the secret police
coming and knocking on the door.
So what was the content of this letter? Well,
here play the national security letter, the first AMY GOODMAN
clip of the group and you'll get a clue about it.
We begin today's show with a guest here in New York, who's
been under an FBI gag order for the past six years. In early
2004, an FBI agent visited Nicholas Merrill and handed him
a national security letter that ordered him to hand over
detailed private records about some of his customers. At the
time, Merrill was running an Internet service provider in New
York called calyx. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, the FBI issued more
than 192,000 national security letters between 2003 and 2006 in
order to obtain sensitive information without a court
order. Under the law, recipients of the letters are barred from
telling anyone about their encounter with the FBI. While
Nicolas Maduro was not the first American to be gagged after
receiving a national security letter and then a cell he was
the first to challenge the FBI secret tactics. After receiving
the national security letter Merrill went to the American
Civil Liberties Union which then filed the first lawsuit
challenging the national security letters and letter
statute. Okay,
so he got his letter he's now just now in 2010 can talk about
it and he still can't fully talk about it for some reason and
he's so fearful This is baked by the way with the direction our
country's headed. And and when you listen to this guy tried to
explain himself in the next clip, I think, I think there's a
clip in there called still scared or something like that.
Just listen to a person who received one of these letters in
the warehouse skittish he's become and how unAmerican this
whole thing is in the fact that the FBI tried to pull this
through or they tried to they managed to do it pull off
becoming a secret police the Gestapo as it were, in in this
what essentially is, is you don't want to do a lot of
investigating obviously making more than $200,000 a year at
least a minimum average pay of 125,000 your federal employee
you don't really want to do any work because you know you can't
really lose your job but you want to at least get some
results so you put out a dragging it you try to drag net
things you in other words your hell with them first amendment
hell with everything hell with a Bill of Rights, the Constitution
and everything in between me let's see if we can go get some
convictions you're doing it the Easy Way by by providing right
creating this national security letter and just doing a witch
hunt. But listen to this character in the clip to
Nick Merrill joins us here in New York. We welcome you to
Democracy Now.
Thank you. Good morning.
It's good to have you with us. I bet it's good to be able to
speak it is kind of a relief. Yeah, it's
also a bit surreal, because I'm not exactly used to it yet. And
almost every time I say something about it, I kind of
have this knee jerk reaction, like, I'm not supposed to talk
about that. And, you know, that got so ingrained into me that,
that it's still a bit strange.
Wait a minute, which which administration handed out these
national security bush? Okay, right.
You know, great old bush, and then Gonzalez,
tab. And but now he can speak about it.
Well, he can now because he won his court case, but in fact, he
can't fully speak about it. He mentioned the fact that the
court case was an agreement. That's still Mays, he can't talk
about, you know, the specific operation that they were looking
at, which is some NGO, apparently, and you know, and he
can't show the letter, this all redacted except for the
signature and a couple of offbeat words showing here and
there for no apparent reason. And so he's still kind of under
a gag order. And which brings me to the point about what is our
freedom of speech rights. If you can't talk, you know, this, this
has been bothering me for a while before we get to the next
two clips. And I talked about this every so often, I bring it
up on this show. And I'm gonna keep bringing it up, because
nobody seems to be paying any attention to the fact that we
have in this country, something called a nondisclosure
agreement, which essentially abrogates your right to free
speech. Right, you sign a nondisclosure agreement, you
can't talk about something under penalty of whatever, you can get
sued, all these bad things can happen. But we have that in the
Constitution, we have a right to free speech. So how can this be?
So how can I sign away my constitutional rights? I'd like
to know do you have an answer that question?
Well, I think part of your constitution or part of the
constitutional rights that you have in the United States is to
enter into a private contract my individual Great,
that's exactly the answer I was looking for. So why can I
entered into a private contract as a slave, an indentured
servant? Why don't I sign Why don't we go to Africa and have a
bunch of Africans sign a document a private contract that
they are now full time slaves?
That's a good idea. Let's go get us some.
So that's the question I have to ask you. Now, you just answered
the question. The first question, how do you answer the
second one?
Let's go do it. I could use a couple. Yeah, upload this to me
upload the show and do stuff like that.
It sounds to me as though if you give the first answer, which you
gave, which is the answer, I keep hearing,
by the way, I'm only giving you the answer, because I know
that's the answer.
That is the answer. That's the answer. I keep hearing then if
that's the case, why can I go sign up some slaves?
Well, John, I think we should test this Coolio who in the chat
room wants to be a slave? We'll sign you up. If anyone wants to
be a slave, you can come here, I'm gonna put one of those red
rubber balls in your mouth. Again,
I'm sorry, I'm not a slave to do some work in the back yard.
Clean the rake the leaves. Shut up slave, rake my leaves? Well,
I think you can John. I think this is a constitutional point.
And I think you should go out and you should fight it as you
go hit people in the mouth to get you some slaves.
So anyway, and so this story continues. Just go to clip
three.
I love you, man. Why don't you tell us your story? What day was
it? When did it happen? And what happened?
I don't know if I'm allowed to, for some reason, say the exact
day. It was in February 2004. An FBI agent visited my office. He
brought me a letter. He you know, he badged himself, he
identified himself as an agent, he gave me this letter. I opened
it. I read it in His presence. And a few things kind of leapt
out at me. Upon first reading the letter, one of which was
that I was commanded to never tell anyone, anyone about the
letter, not that I had received it not that there had been a
request for information. It was a very broad, and there was no
exceptions in there. There was no instructions on how to
appeal, there was nothing about contacting a lawyer. So I said
to the agent at that time. It says here, I can't tell anyone
about this. Does that include my attorneys? Does that include my
business partners? And the man said something to the effect of
I've, I've just been given the job of bringing you this letter.
I don't know. I'm not a decision maker. And that was basically
the end of our conversation. Then he left. At that point, I
was left with this letter, which asked for what I believe to be
constitutionally protected information belonging to one of
my clients.
rule. This is great.
Yes, the what you do when you're lazy, instead of actually doing
any real footwork, you know, you come up with this letter that
says you can't even say you have the letter. And then you scare
the crap out of somebody because everybody knows habeas corpus is
out the door and other constitutional right. And they
can probably pick you up and throw you into Gitmo for all you
and who's going to do anything about it? Nobody, often nothing.
So let's finish it off with that, I think clip four and
we'll be done with this time.
two FBI agents came to our office with the letter. They had
called a week before and told us that they were going to serve us
with a security letter. The thing that leaked to my
attention about our letter was that it concerned an incident
back in February, five months prior to this, it was dated in
May two months prior to July. And it was still addressed to
the wrong person that our office had called to ask who it should
be addressed to. So I could conclude that it was not a case
of hot pursuit. And that if I dug my heels in, we weren't
jeopardizing any of our fellow sofas. What do
you say to the FBI agents who came to your door?
This is great. That's awesome. Well, I've been while that was
playing, I've been looking around but I cannot find a copy
of what would be a national security letter, of course. Not
available to get
Wow. So anyway, the so this has been going on and as far as I
know, this never been to these letters are still in effect. And
nobody's done anything about the Obama administration shirts and
done anything about they like it. I mean, who doesn't like
this kind of secret police action?
I think we should have a I think we should have no agenda NSL we
send you the letter and the first the first rule is you
can't tell anyone about what's in the letter. Fight Club. Yeah,
exactly. And if you do, then you're our slave. That could
Yeah, I think we did. John. I'm, I'm with you, my friend. I think
constitutionally, you have a great point. And I'd like me a
slave. Would you like you a slave?
I know. I need a bunch of them. Yes. In my backyard. There's
work to be done. Yeah.
Well, this of course is all just kind of a wind up to where we're
really headed and Gitmo nation. And this all came kind of came
out this past week and Gitmo nation East in the United
Kingdom where I guess so many people complain that the
advertising watchdog what is that? The
Ad Council? Yeah, the British version of the British version,
British version of the Ad
Council says, hey, you know, these ads that we have running
on the radio, we really can't run these anymore. People are on
to us. And I want you to listen, this is the campaign if you
suspect it, report it, oh, he had this. This is great.
The following message is brought to you by Talksport and the Anti
Terrorist hotline. The man at the end of the street doesn't
talk to his neighbors much because he likes to keep himself
to himself. He pays with cash because he doesn't have a bank
card. And he keeps his curtains closed because his house is on a
bus route. This may mean nothing, but together, it could
all add up to you having suspicions. We all have a role
to play in combating terrorism. If you see anything suspicious,
called the confidential Anti Terrorist hotline on Oh 800.
So there's a couple of these. I don't want to play the different
versions because there's some really subtle stuff that just
blew me away when you listen to the other versions of this
because of course, all these all these stations got paid to do
this. I mean, this is a paid advertisement. Yes, not a public
service. It's not a PSA at all. Check.
The following message is brought to you by Talksport.
Tech I'm sorry, it's the wrong one
is that is the announcer that little GEICO lizard. It sounds
like it
doesn't. Here's the national campaign. A terraced house in
our street has blacked out windows. I love this you have to
listen to it again. She says a terrace house in our street now
a terrace house is a particular type of house and in a typical
London street, but using the word terrace house is perfect
for this because what does it sound? Yeah, I thought I heard
sounds like terrorists, right? So it's very subliminal, but
really, really good. Like it was a terraced house in
our street as blacked out windows, which is odd thing is
the rest of his documents have different names on them. It just
seemed far too much fertilizer for such a small plot of land.
I love that. It was far too much fertilizer for such a small pot,
that plot of land, too much fertilizer.
He may have been on the level of why did he want to buy
protective equipment because asking loads of security
questions. And then I discovered he didn't even work in that
department on their own. They may mean nothing. But together
it all adds up. Breast plot may have discovered we all have a
role to play. Do you hear that?
Did you hear how they edit those words together? Yeah, that's
discovered. We all have a role to play in combating terrorism.
If you see anything suspicious, call the confidential Anti
Terrorist hotline on Oh 800 789
I love how they do that. So the edit together with these people
are saying and it sounds like a terrorist plot has been
discovered. Yeah. I mean, there's total subliminal mind
control.
It's great. Yeah.
Give me some slaves. This is awesome, too. Anyway, so they've
stopped that which of course means that now everyone's
playing on everyone's listening to him. Right and deconstructing
them. Yeah, well, no one's deconstructing this. No one's
deconstructing it. Oh, they have to be they're not that stupid.
Who this there's no one in Britain deconstruct with it.
Were people who would deconstruct this stuff. That's
like, yeah, no, that's a Yeah, I use cash. By the way, don't
cash. I got lots of fertilizer. I need poop for the yard. I'm
surprised he didn't say his hair. Isn't that blonde. He
doesn't need all of that bleaching product. Also in Gitmo
nation East Now, some people may agree with this. But smoking in
your car with your children is now pretty much officially child
abuse. And, you know, that means they can take your kid away.
Yeah, they're looking for any excuse to take your kid away so
they can brainwash them in a state run orphanage. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. They need your kids. For the MK Ultra program, I got
an email from Reverend Eric, who was in I think he's in
Minneapolis St. Paul. And he went to a different church. And
the congregation as it would be to see at the service was the
conclusion of the Vacation Bible School at the congregation and
they had a theme him called my ID and he's freaking out about
this and this is a reverend and he sent me some of the I'm
trying to get a copy of this actual him
but he wrote down here to get a recording of it Yeah,
no kidding. It's called My ID I don't know the I don't know the
the the tune or but I do have some of the words. God the
father made me in a perfect way. He stepped back and he said it
was good now he gives me loving each and every day everything he
promised he would who comes to refrain my ID through faith in
Jesus Christ I'm a child of God, my ID baptized by water and
blessed by the word. Jesus is my Savior dying on the cross who
suffered and bled for me now he's my friend. He's not he's
not like a boss. I saw it serve the world because he set me free
my ID, my ID and it goes on a little bit longer, but he is
freaking out about this and I've heard that there's been a lot of
infiltration into parishes and money actually flowing in that
when it's time you know, for the flock to get your I guess, get
your Id get your mark of the devil that this is this is the
him you'll be singing you'll be happy to get your little number
tattooed on your wrist or whatever. But this is kind of
scary. Creepy, very creepy. Very, very creepy. Anyway, so
Reverend Eric's going to try and get it for me says the pastor of
the church are out of town till Friday they're on a float trip
with a junior high kids talk kind of creepy. And the music
director is no longer there. The song was new to me. So he
went on to the next place I guess so you go from place to
place it introducing these things
so anyway, he's he's going to try and get me a recording and
or, you know, the Full lyrics etc. And, and the and the tune
but it's just like wow, that's that's pretty out there.
So I have a just a follow up ad that we did remember a couple of
weeks ago we did the all state ad where the guys the rich guys
driving along and he slams on his brakes because the stock
market fell and the guys rams into him. He's a rich guy. He's
a douchebag he's a douchebag well, they're continuing this
douchebag theme with only the guys now he's playing a girl who
broke up with her boyfriend smashes into somebody's car and
I've realized that that all stain somebody should take them
to task for this has basically they're basically playing the
protection game it's like a mob ad if the mob could do you know
if you didn't if you didn't want to brick through your window you
might want to get takeout some insurance. Oh.
Like when the mob comes to your store and says you know you
could you could get robbed here unless you like take out some
insurance with us. us
yeah now listen to us all state and tell me it's not like oh
obviously some mix mobster is writing the copy
I'm a teenage girl. My BFF Becky Texas says she's kiss Johnny.
Last problem because I like Johnny. Now I'm emotionally
compromised. OMG Becky's not even hot. And if you've got cut
rate insurance you could be paying for this yourself. So get
all state you can save money and be better protected. You may
have like me
dollar for dollar. Nobody
protects you from Mayhem like Austin.
Wow. Okay. This is very confusing to me. So he's
pretending to be Becky.
Yeah. And then she gets a message she get Becky gets a
message that she did boyfriend broke up to go out or No, he's
the other girl whatever the case is his boyfriend broke up to go
out with Becky he slams into a car because he's emotionally
compromised because of this terrible situation. Then he
drives off the hit and run and this could happen to you you can
have a hit and run because it's something bad you know he's got
nothing to do with anybody can be a bad. This sounds exactly
like an extortion AD.
He even talks like a mobster
didn't realize that the first time Yeah. Well, that's the
beauty
of doing audio only when you when you don't have the video to
to distract you then it really all comes. It all comes
together. Wow. Amazing. Gitmo nation is an awesome place to
be. It's great. So one of our producers sent me an ad in a
local newspaper. This has to do with the demon drink. And it's
this newspaper is geared towards the 21 to 35 year old crowd. And
I think this newspaper might even be distributed in bars. The
ad actually has a guy holding up a sign that says, you got $3,400
Well then don't drink and drive. So they now actually have the
price of the scram bracelet, the interlock device and what it
will cost you if you're if you're caught $3,500 Yeah, it's
it's it's amazing. Now, I of course do not advocate drinking
and driving. But the scam they've got behind this thing.
It just it becomes so blatant, when they've got a guy holding
this literally holding the sign it's going to cost you $3,400
And we know what it's for.
That's why people you won't be able to you know, you keep you
introduce the price and the whole thing so then everyone's
used to it and so no one can be outraged by it. Yeah. It's just
a slow process of introducing people to something and you
there's no obviously there's no outcry because it's like child
porn, and all these other things. Oh, you can't? What are
you advocating people driving around drunk?
You can't talk about it. He can't talk about it because
you're crazy. You're crackpot Oh,
and then you keep introducing this other piece of information.
It's 3400 bucks and so now it's a year later.
This is not a federal fine this is just this is the commercial
industry overhead overheads commercial industry.
And so when the year later if you say well gee, this is a rip
off while you've been going on forever and you're now you're
saying it's a ripoff yeah you're you're living under a rock. You
can't win with these guys. This system is too powerful. We can't
stop it. It's taking our rights away our right to free speech.
So underneath unders is going to just given government workers
twice as much money as you're so pissed off
about that. So underneath the ad is a little logo, checkpoint
StrikeForce with a with a handprint in red, checkpoint
StrikeForce
I like to hit red handprint Yeah, so go sign of likes of
communist revolutionaries in the South
America will go to checkpoint strikeforce.net while I play the
commercial, which is on their homepage, checkpoints,
motorcycles provide is virtually limitless. Drinking and driving.
There's no way to hide. Ride impaired. You do get busted DC
police are on the hook for drunk riders and speeders right now
it's zero tolerance in DC. So stay within the legal limits.
Checkpoint StrikeForce is back with a special interest in
motorcyclists riding over the limit under arrest a message
from the District Department of Transportation and the
Metropolitan Police Department.
You know, I'm all for the message, but wow, really put it
in my face like CSI Miami,
and then they got some guy here some tough luck and black guy
with big jaw with a big jaw that red hand checkpoints or some
opera obviously some some scam at some organization is getting
government money in intensive law enforcement mobilization to
get impaired drivers off our roads, stopping over 500,000
drivers last year and sobriety checkpoints. In other words,
you're inconveniencing the poor Like, let's put it make it let's
call for what it is. Assuming everybody's a drunk, using
checkpoints and patrols when we're drunk driving is most
likely to occur outside of bars and let's just hang out. Why
don't you just let me give a little advice to these? That
skip skip the middleman? Why don't you just take the entire
police force and instead of preventing robberies and murders
and all these other things that go on, just hang out in like,
you know, the cab lines you go to like a fancy disco. And
there's a bunch of cabs waiting to pick you up about two in the
morning and take you home in New York City that's very common,
just have a whole lineup of cop cars kind of similar to the
taxis. And then as people stagger out of the bar, or walk
out of the bar, whatever, follow them with the car, you know,
just go in the same thing. And then if they get into a car, or
if they look for their keys or anything, just bust the muster
Maya bustin right there. Yeah, well, that's already happening.
Yeah, well, they should. They should institutionalize it, put
the police right in front of every bar in town.
I think this is actually happening John, this is not a
dream you're having this is actually taking place and if you
have the keys in your hand, you get arrested. If you have a
thought crime, you've got crime, you will go up to your car and
70 revenue you
haven't gotten an inch.
So checkpoint strikeforce.net is
another way to get move extract money from the public. You know,
that is trying to you know, just live.
They've got a link here myths. Um, you know, I mean, I think
I'm all for really, drinking and driving is really, really bad.
It's a very bad practice. But there are other ways to educate
the public about this. And this is just checkpoint crap is just
pissing me off and calling it a checkpoint, and they're rolling
checkpoints by the way. So they'll set up and then they
half an hour later the roll up to another part of town and they
just keep checking checkpoint checkpoint checkpoint
StrikeForce to be checkpoint. Slave.
Yeah, it was for the new prohibitionist movement, too.
Wasn't it wasn't smart. tronics the company that built the $18
million website?
Yeah, I think it might have been not sure. I'm not sure. I don't
I can't say for sure. I think it was a million dollar, you know,
Link.
Yeah, I think I think they built recovery.gov
It's possible. Yeah, I got to go back and listen to the show. But
no, no,
we can. Let's just check that now. Hold on smart. tronics
recovery.ca I'm pretty sure those are the guys. Yes. Okay.
Yeah, smart. tronics built the $18 million recovery.gov
website. They have just acquired Cogan systems LLC. And that
means to me, that is the company that VEC Qudra. And, and what's
the other guy and Nish Oprah? Yes. That they both worked at
before coming into the administration.
big shocker. eruption.
Yeah, I just thought that was kind of an interesting little
find. They they literally acquired the company that these
guys came from. Yeah, no shame. Absolutely no shame there. Why
bother? Nobody cares. Nobody calls him on anything. Everybody
thinks these two guys are heroes. Yeah, you know, because
they you skip logic, because they you skip logic and they
don't speak in binary and COBOL. And we got to play that clip.
Well, you do have to play that more often. Okay, so there's a
new superbug in the United Kingdom In the United Kingdom,
which of course will require drugs. And then there's lots of
stories about this and it's very easy to deconstruct you want to
learn how to deconstruct a story you just read through it. So the
the the main story here, a new superbug could spread around the
world after reaching Britain from India. By the way, it can't
go from India in any direction. It can only go from Britain to
the rest of the world. But in part because of and here comes
medical tourism. Scientists say there are almost no drugs to
treat it for the sciences
and
it's m nd M one which is a great name NDM. One makes bacteria
highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most
powerful class called carbon EMS. No, I'm sorry. carbapenems.
Experts say there are no new drugs on the horizon to tackle
it. So of course, what this is about is, is about the medical
tourism because the the system in the United Kingdom, their
national health service is broken is sucks and people are
going away to go and get health care in better places where you
actually get served and there are people on way waiting lists
for you know, for important stuff, you know, six months now
usually to
a YouTube report.
You got a YouTube report on this. Yeah. Okay. Let's have a
little listen then. Now NDM one super bug that's hope we don't
have a pre road a
newly identified gene mutation be responsible for a new class
of drug resistant superbugs. British researchers say it's
possible According to ABC News, researchers say a group of
plastic surgery patients who traveled from India or Pakistan
back to Great Britain returned carrying bacteria which has an
antibiotic resistant superbug gene known as NDM. One Indian
one stands for New Delhi Metallo beta lactamase. AFP quotes
researchers is saying that a new class of superbugs could spread
worldwide, the New York Times quotes experts calling the gene
mutation worrying an ominous According to AFP, researchers
first discovered the NDM one gene in 2009. In a Swedish
patient who was hospitalized in India, scientists are said to be
especially concerned because Indian one bacteria are
resistant to even the strongest broad spectrum antibiotics
reserved to treat multi drug resistant bugs. In an article
from the journal The Lancet researchers in Britain noted
that Indian one can easily be transferred into common bacteria
such as E. Coli. Why this is
great. I think just in time now that the World Health
Organization has declared the swine flu pandemic over I think
it's perfect timing the bring up a new super bug
where they call it a bug to bacteria. Not an insect.
It'll soon be in your diet. I don't know.
Neither, I'm gonna figure it out. Anyway, obviously, it's a
some Sandy Of course, they've been trying to stop the outflow
of patients to India, because the hospitals there have the
same Indian doctors they have in England, but they're cheating to
do 1/10 The price and this will keep this up put the clamp on it
the Indians they have to get a scramble to stop this.
Well, we'll see this will unfold this will unfold into something
very obvious.
I'm sure we are we okay. We caught it early, early. Yeah.
And we will stay on it because it's obvious going to be a major
thing along with tuberculosis, resistant to drug resistant
tuberculosis and the next iteration of the swine flu and
the whooping
cough. Don't forget the whooping cough,
whooping cough. Yeah.
Now we know we got a vaccine coming for that. And the British
has always been a vaccine for whooping cough. Yeah. But now
it's going to be something we need to have your kids won't be
able to go to school without it. Just another needle. That's what
it's about. It's a drug company. They've got nothing left to sell
this. They've become so desperate now. They've
infiltrated the British Heart Foundation, who now say fast
food outlets such as McDonald's, and Burger King should consider
handing out statins with their hamburger. It would only cost
five P A customer similar to a sachet of ketchup. A statement
of course, is to fight cholesterol. But I think it's
time for people who have real cholesterol issues. And I don't
think it should just be a bill that you get with your
hamburger. But this is what the this is like the idea. It's
pretty good a state in the day and this is this is just selling
drugs and pushing drugs. A state in the day can neutralize the
risk of cardiovascular disease linked to a daily intake of a
seven ounce cheeseburger and a small milkshake. This is
getting people off the cheeseburger.
No, no, no, no, no, no, we don't want to ruin the industry. No,
we just need to amp it up. This is great.
This is so smart. Twice as many burgers that
I this is actually what they're saying. They're saying he'll go
ahead eat your burger and just take the pill. It'll be fine.
It's gonna be great. This is brave new world stuff is what
this is. This is great. It's just awesome. Very, very smart.
So sick world.
Well, then let's do this. No, no,
no. Nope, nope. Before we do that, because I know where
you're headed. I want to play at least one more clip. Sure. Just
to bring up that just kind of a funny thing because it actually
is a clip in a clip. But play this Obama sports clip first and
then I want you to follow up with the block back to school
tax free clip
okay with some commentary in between. Yeah, okay.
President Obama makes no secret of his affinity for all things
force. The Washington Post's Dana Milbank writes about what
he calls the jock in chief setting a new standard for
presidential game playing after a bachelor birthday weekend that
included a round of golf with friends hosting with Milbank
calls a fantasy camp with pro basketball legends, and
welcoming the reigning Super Bowl champions to the White
House Monday. unofficial presidential chronicler Mark
Miller's numbers reveal President Obama has left the
White House on 16 occasions to play basketball. In addition to
countless times on his home court, he's played 44 rounds of
golf, gone fishing and played tennis, total sporting related
events at the White House 45. That's about six times the
number of news conferences he's held since taking office.
In notice you didn't go fishing with Ted Stevens.
Meanwhile, of course in Illinois, where Obama comes
from, there's this there's a bunch of it's just a weird
thing. It's like, you know, how am I I don't know, they just
seem to be taking a lot of vacations and not paying much
attention to the job creation except in the government. And
but back to school tax free. This I just thought was funny.
And I don't know, you know, just was screwy.
And finally a 10 day sales tax holiday and they'll in Illinois,
save shoppers 5% off the final cost of qualifying school items.
That's the key element. However, you might be surprised to hear
what is and is not covered. For example, a thermos does not
qualify. But in Armani Thai does. Same for a coach belt that
does count. But a geography book. No. Does not a computer
does not qualify either. However, a piece of lace
lingerie will save you 5% sales tax. Not sure exactly what dress
code requirements that particular back to school item
meet.
But let's just go fuck ourselves. Let's
spend 18 billion on hired and some teachers for that great
educational system because that's gonna get us out of the
economic depression. You know, that's what the that's what the
President told us. Come back from your vacation, you slaves
and vote for this.
Alright, so anyway, I just as a little aside,
I like that. I like that pedo bear struck again, John. Oh,
yes. The pedo bear strikes again to assistant Bishop assistants
to the bishops in Ireland. I guess they're called assistant
bishops. That I'm sure there's some other term for them.
They've got some kind of thing Monson year or whatever. Erman
Walsh and Ray field wanted to resign because it's very clear
that the church in Dublin has been covering up PTO bear
activities and the Pope refused the resignation. No, you can't
resign you have to stay at your post you cannot go not allowed
to resign
Well, you know, maybe they don't want him to quit. They want them
to stay they want the other guys to resign. Maybe that's a good
thing. So okay, I think
I know what you're all about. Trains. Planes bad. Yeah, one of
the biggest categories. Let me start it off, John with a fine
commercial for a wonderful children's toy. Before we get
into all the other news about quote, world's
fastest train is ticking off. Super turbo trade with Jared
double jump travels in scale beyond the speed of sound. And
so fast. It races a wall and even upside down so fast. It
makes the incredible Daredevil just keeps on going. There's
nothing else like it. Take control of a fastest and only
airborne train. But new super turbo train with Jared double
jump from Tyco.
Kids get it for Christmas with the Super Daredevil air jump
from Tyco. It's awesome because that
matches nicely a new story that just broke actually the eighth
but did you get this? I don't know if you get your how many
planes bad storm? Is this the tiny town? No, this is the
passenger booted for trying to do good.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. Of course. She said this woman
smelled alcohol. She thought on the pilots breath.
This delta by the way, which is the world's worst airline.
So a reminder for those of you who are new to the program, that
Hill and Knowlton, one of the premier PR agencies in the world
is promoting the EU us high. Here they come the US high speed
rail Association and they're doing it mainly by the sneaking
in reports into your regularly scheduled news into the regular
Ministry of Truth items about how bad air travel is. And so
yeah, this woman who was on Delta she, she whispered what's
her name Cynthia Angel, who was the Good Samaritan? She quietly
whispered to the head stewardess. You know, I don't
know this is really weird, but I think I smelled alcohol on the
pilots breath. And so they took her off. She you know, she spoke
to some delta officials. They put her back on and 20 minutes
later, I guess They just kept the plane there. They said,
Alright slave Get off. Get off this plane, you're not flying
with us. You're not on the friendly skies get off. And they
just took a write off, of course, implying that delta
pilots fly drunk. Guess what it says to me, that's kind of what
the implication is there.
It's kind of what the end game story is. If you're trying to
get a story out there that it sounds that's that's what you
want to get be plastered, but they're not you're gonna you're
gonna be the ones thrown off. It's an old trick
salon had a very nice little thing they snuck in there.
Headline airport security run amok. At the checkpoint,
checkpoint, checkpoint, there's a big sign picture of it here.
Please be advised. snowglobes are not allowed through the
security checkpoint. And there's actually a little picture of a
snow globe with a red circle around it and at stripe. Your
safety is our priority to so you know snow globes now a no no.
Yeah, well you can always pack them up get your league ever get
kid get your best check luggage even though I've rarely do it
but ever check in then you get the back and there's a there's a
there's
a Yeah, a little TSA note. Yeah, Homeland Security note actually,
yeah, I've gotten that all the time. Those guys be rummaging
through my underwear touching themselves. Before we get to the
the main clip, of course there was this is kind of funny. This
Steven Slater flight attendant on a JetBlue flight who got so
pissed off that he rejected out the emergency slide. And the way
this was reported on ABC is so filled with memes, John, it's
just crazy. The guy now apparently According to ABC is a
hero because he quit his job, which is like the whole country
is you know, we're in 20 25% unemployment and this guy
apparently According to ABC News, and Michael Musto of The
Village Voice is a hero because he did what everybody wants to
do is quit your job in a you know in a big fanfare, grab a
couple beers and eject out the chute. But when you listen to
it, including the guy's ex wife, it's it's just filled with all
kinds of memes that scream getting donations clean, doesn't
it? But let's listen to the commercial. Your mouth is no
different. This is a dramatization but millions of
plaque its Listerine rooms are left behind. Sorry about this
second rinse with Listerine antiseptic.
fanship by you in an h2.
Yeah. But there's so many things I just don't have the time to
make the clips out of all of these, you know, and what do you
make the clip out of? I'd have a million clips and I want to be
honest, I want to be able to anticipate to jump in and do
something here we go.
His name is Steven Slater. And if you don't know his name by
now you'll probably know what he did. He is the JetBlue flight
attendant who got so frustrated on the job yesterday that he
quit an epic fashion and tonight he is free on bail after cooling
his heels behind bars all day all the while
by the way and this is not to what's the word I'm looking for?
The guy is clearly gay was put it that way. Yeah, but but his
ex wife. His ex wife is talks for a moment
and it's really fun folk hero reputation was burning up the
internet. Andrea canning looks at how one man's meltdown
society tons of times here it is and other times Listen,
remember when being a flight attendant was a job of glamour
and adventure like this combined with the Clippers solid comm
book.
Well, those days are over now flight attendants deal with
frustrated passengers who are cramped and cranky.
I mean, is this not a total PRPs put together to show you how air
travel has become cramped
and cranky. just crapped are
America's newest folk hero. Stephen Slater, the now infamous
JetBlue flight attendant isn't being praised for saving
anyone's life or averting disaster. But because he lost
his cool when an unruly passenger tried to get her bag
and hit him on the head. When she didn't apologize. Slater got
on the intercom started swearing and had these parting words quit
that's it I'm done. And I thought that was the end of it
until his triumph and exit which can be heard on this airport
radio traffic. It was essentially deployed.
This piece is so well produced. It is so well put together.
They've got video of everything that went through all this
trouble. This is a PRPs complete video press release a total yet
to come and they've got pictures of him next to the model of the
Jet Blue AirPlay
activated the emergency inflatable shoot and slid down
the tarmac, but not before grabbing a few beers for the
road.
I think he just had his mom very small meltdown. And I think he
deserved to be able to have that meltdown. And it isn't just him.
His mother who is on his side,
people who have been pushed to the limit Stephen Slater.
This is Michael Musto. The Village Voice who was a
douchebag is a hero. He's
somebody who said, I'm out of here. And he didn't say I'm out
of here until he told everybody off over the loudspeaker. And
the best thing about what he did is that he proved that the
emergency shoot actually works
just a day after. Interesting. Wow,
I mean, isn't that we're in doubt until then. Yeah,
because you know, gee, at least when we crash we know we can get
off if we're not dead. Thanks, Michael.
That's around the water cooler seems to be much in his favor.
There are Facebook pages with 10s of 1000s of fans and blogs,
giving him a virtual pat on the back. There are even T shirts
for sale.
This is a major percentage of our time. I'm going to go home
and follow him on Facebook.
By the way this this shot of Michael Musto, completely style
black backdrop beautifully lit it's so so produce, even
follow his tweets,
Slater spent the day being arraigned in a New York
courtroom and sitting in jail waiting to be bailed out. Does
he know that he's become somewhat of a folk hero
overnight. He has 1000s of fans on Facebook now. He is aware of
anything he's been isolated from any news. News coverage. Could
Stephen Slater have done what we've all dreamed of doing at
one job or another?
And Hathaway has a great quitting scene and the Devil
Wears Prada which he can't take any more than
cleared the rights for this scene from the movie. Well, it
takes a minute Yeah, beating
it cost money is what it's it's expensive
to finally just throws her cell phone in the fountain and walks
away. I was thinking keep the job we want to SQL.
This fantasy of
storming out of this with office space with Jennifer Aniston in a
blaze of glory
has been a recurring theme in movie after movie. This Jennifer
Aniston's character Joanna in office space wasn't wearing
enough buttons at her job. I hate this job. I hate this job
and I don't need it. And network Well, this one is enough to make
any news reporter a little nervous.
Mad as Hell. And I'm not gonna take this anymore.
Network is the iconic I'm quitting scene Peter Finch
deservedly won an Oscar for it. Unfortunately, he was dead by
time he won maybe from the rage. This character has more range
than Mel Gibson, but expresses himself way more poetically.
Only time will tell if Stephen Slater turns into another Howard
becomes his ex wife. He'll inspiring others to follow in
his footsteps.
Stephen Slater just said I'm not taking it anymore. This is it.
This is the last time and that's why it's such a fantasy that
people are glomming on to it's like, oh, we wish we had that in
us to tell people off and just walk away and take two beers.
That's the important thing. He definitely exited
in a grand fashion is a dramatic fellow. So I wouldn't expect any
less of him later to
be ex wife does. He's a dramatic fellow.
Drama queen. Yeah, well,
now he's gonna talk and it's like, oh, okay, I
guess it's up to seven years behind bars for his stand. But
he didn't slide into notoriety. Without these parting words, it
seems like something here has resonated with a few people. And
that's that's kind of neat.
It's kind of neat.
Let me there's a couple of things that need to be pointed
out. Please listen to this specious argument that he told
off his bosses and quit he didn't tell his boss he told off
the passengers. Yeah, the people he didn't go into the offices of
JetBlue and scream at the CEO and quit, like any of these
people that they exemplified. So that's bull crap. Yeah. The
second thing is you think it's a coincidence. They keep
mentioning this beer you're allergic to beer, Hill and
Knowlton, they now are leading Dutch Deus Ex keys brand and a
selected them to do so there's a beer meme in there that's
obviously been slipped in because this piece was produced
pretty much under the direction or with the help of Hill and
Knowlton that in because it was a slam piece. And it was never
Of course they didn't have the train meme in there, which is
you would have been it would have been too much. Yeah, that
would have been too over drinking beer. Yeah. And they
got their, you know, their their anti airplane meme. And so yeah,
but as bullcrap they he told off the passengers he didn't tell
off the company. And, and also, I don't know why, by the way,
and here's the thing that's weird about it. This guy must
have been working there long enough to know that if that
woman swung a bag and hit him in the head, he could have had her
hauled off. Yeah, the flown off the plane thrown into custody.
Yeah, and met her life would have been miserable. But instead
he has a hissy fit.
Maybe the guy was a plant to who knows?
I don't know. I'm beginning to wonder. Yeah. All right. Then
we have the clip of the week which of course, this is the
trains good plains bad clip of the week from Rachel Maddow, our
friend from MSNBC
first Happy New Year. Also happy largest regularly anticipated
human migration in the world. It is Chinese Lunar New Year on
Sunday, which is also the world's largest movement of
people from one place to other places. Chinese Lunar New Year
in China is called the Spring Festival. It's the most
important holiday in the Chinese calendar. And as people all over
the world do on important holidays, the Chinese travel for
this holiday, a big majority of China's 1.3 billion people are
expected to take at least one trip for New Year's totaling
more than two and a half billion excursions. Good news for these
billion or so travelers. This largest mass migration in
America and in American in world history is that this year, some
of those trips will be a lot shorter. In the last four years,
China has spent more than $185 billion on high speed rail, just
on trains. But all of that investment means is that within
about two years, China expects to have 42 new high speed train
lines for comparison here in America. We won't even have our
first one. We're expecting our first high speed rail line. Two
years after the Chinese are expecting 42 of them. We'll get
one within four years, China will get 42 in half the time.
Our one little high speed rail commitment will connect Tampa
and Orlando, Florida. China, on the other hand, has major train
routes planned to link all of its major cities. The superfast
trains average about 215 miles an hour. That would be like
traveling overland Dallas to Detroit in six hours, Birmingham
to Indianapolis and a little over two hours. Boston to New
York
in an hour. would be awesome if we were doing that instead of
China tries filibustering.
How long does it take to get from Boston to New York
45 minutes
to do it in an hour with a high speed train. And the way she
says it so dramatically as though it takes days to go.
You know, what's next 45
minutes. And by the way, we do have a high speed train. It's
called the Excella. And it runs up and down the eastern
seaboard. So she's full of crap on that. And the fact that this
story was obviously designed for the, you know, to propagandize
Americans as the EU was given away by the fact that she
dropped America in as a as a flub club. Yeah, it was on her
mind. So she's the big greatest in the history of America. I've
a China. She's a shills. She's a total shill. She should be
ashamed of herself for pushing this crap and the editorializing
because she doesn't care what we think.
Wouldn't it be great, but of course the Republicans would
filibuster it.
Yeah, that was the punchline. Yeah, the Republicans would fill
a budget. If you know, the Chinese would love to have our
air transport system, you know, where you get basically, they
wouldn't
have to wear diapers on their high speed trains. Because they
won't let them poop. It's true.
Ya know, yet they've, ya know, it's inconvenient
to say the least. there yet,
I have an end of show clip that I'd like to play.
Here's your friend who did the other end of show clip.
I still don't know.
We're gonna play it again until somebody can tell us who it is.
I'm gonna play John Pilcher today. By the way, five minute
clip titled Obama as a corporate marketing creation. Good little
clip. Okay, thank you like that. Okay, John. So we'll be back
Sunday morning for early morning service.
Yeah, and I want to remind people to go and give us a hand
here doing this thing and how books continue doing the show by
going to divorce that org slash N A and donating something if
you're on the mailing list, you probably we got a letter this
week asking to help us out with more $5 subscriptions.
And sorry, we ran a little bit long but just had to get those.
Those trains, good planes, bad clips, and it's very important
stuff.
We got to get the show shortened up. Coming to you
from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command center and
Gitmo nation Western the People's Republic of Southern
California. Yay, I am the former Soviet spy known as Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, you can't prove he's a
spy or not. So we don't care. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you Ken on Sunday right here on no agenda.
The clever young man who recently made it to the White
House is a very fine hypnotist, partly because it is indeed
extraordinary to see an African American at the pinnacle of
power in the land of slavery. However, this is the 21st
century and race together with gender and even class can be
very seductive tools of propaganda for what is so often
overlooked and what matters I believe, above all, is the Class
One serves. George Bush's inner circle from the State Department
to the Supreme Court was perhaps the most multiracial in
presidential history. It was PC Power excellence. Thing
Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell. He was also the most
reactionary. Obama's very presence in the White House
appears to reaffirm the moral nation. He's a marketing dream,
but like Calvin Klein or Benetton, here's a brand that
promises something special, something exciting, almost
risque, as if he might be radical, as if he might enact
change. He makes people feel good. He's a postmodern man with
no political baggage, and all that's fake. In his book, Dreams
from My Father, Obama refers to the job he took after he
graduated from Columbia in 1983. He describes his employer as an
a, quote, a consulting house to multinational corporations, and
quote, for some reason, he doesn't say who is employee was
or what he did there. The employer was Business
International Corporation, which has a long history of providing
cover for the CIA with covert action and infiltrating unions
and the left. I know this because it was especially active
in my own country Australia. Obama doesn't say what he did at
Business International, and they may be absolutely nothing
sinister. But it seems worthy of inquiry and debate as a clue to
perhaps who the man is. During his brief period in the Senate,
Obama voted to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He
voted for the Patriot Act. He refused to support a bill for
single payer health care, he supported the death penalty. As
a presidential candidate, he received more corporate backing
than John McCain. He promised to close Guantanamo as a priority,
but instead is excused torture reinstated military commissions,
kept the bush Gulag intact, and opposed habeas corpus. Daniel
Ellsberg, a great risk whistleblower, was right. I
believe when he said that under Bush, a military coup had taken
place in the United States, giving the Pentagon
unprecedented powers. These powers have been reinforced by
the presence of Robert Gates, a Bush family crony, and George W.
Bush's powerful Secretary of Defense. And by all the bush
Pentagon officials and generals who have kept their jobs under
Obama. In the middle of a recession with millions of
Americans losing their jobs and homes, a bomber has increased
the military budget in Colombia, he is planning to spend $46
million on a new military base that will support a regime
backed by death squads, and further the tragic history of
Washington's intervention in that region. In a pseudo event
in Prague, Obama promised a world without nuclear weapons to
a global audience, mostly unaware that America is building
new tactical nuclear weapons designed to blur the distinction
between nuclear and conventional war. Like George Bush, he used
the absurdity of Europe threatened by Iran to justify
building a missile system aimed at Russia and China. And another
pseudo event at the Annapolis Naval Academy, DEC with flags
and uniforms, a bomb allied them America had gone to Iraq to
bring freedom to that country. He announced that the troops
were coming home. This was another deception. The head of
the Army General George Casey says with some authority that
America will be in Iraq for up to a decade. Other generals, say
15 years. Chris Hedges the very fine author of empire of
illusion puts it very well. President Obama he wrote does
one thing and brand Obama gets you to believe another. This is
the essence of successful advertising. You buy or do what
the advertiser wants, because of how they make you feel. Unquote.
And so you are kept in a perpetual state of childishness.
He calls this junk politics. You can take that to the bank
