Adam curry, John C. Dvorak completely live and not
automated. This is no agenda for Thursday, March 19 2009. This is
no agenda basking in the glow of government chemtrails in the
crackpot command center in southwest London get my nation
east. I'm Adam curry,
and from Gitmo nation, West or the Gitmo nation or Silicon
Valley north. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill. We're getting better at that, aren't we? Well, I've
decided to instead of goofing around to do a straight you know
from time,
thank you, the the company and management. Thanks, you.
Yes. For your cooperation.
I'm sick of the memos.
That's one thing we don't have. We don't have memo culture at
Acme via Dewey, we have meeting culture but not not memo
culture.
memo, actually, memo culture, to me is better than meeting
culture.
Really, I hate memo culture. I hate meeting culture too.
Well, that's what I'm saying between the two. I hate both of
them myself. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, rather sit at
home in my underwear.
I like now case in point. Wait, let me just turn on the camera
stream. Which
is why we don't want to go use cameras. Why didn't we want to
use cameras? That's the beauty of radio, audio,
you have no idea how I'm sitting in what I'm doing what I'm
wearing or what I'm smoking or how my tea tastes. But you
really get an intimate feel.
Right. And so but so I think it's a mistake. Yeah, I agree.
And there's only a few people. I mean, I mean, how many people
listen to the streets, show stream, whatever we want to call
it? You know, a couple 100,000? And how many you really want to
you know, watch it.
Believe me, there's 1000s who want to I mean, not that we're
going to do it ever, ever. But there's lots of people who want
to it's I don't know, it's I don't know what it is. But it's
a big request from from 1000s. But it just won't happen.
Because I agree it ruins it ruins it completely. Yeah, I
agree. So I've been doing a lot of work this past week genre
since we spoke on Sunday. And I'd like to share some of that
work with you. Share, please share. Yes. So we have this. No
agenda stream? No agenda stream.com. Where? After the
show, you know, I basically rolls out 24/7. We talked about
it last week. And it has a mix of songs. And I've done a little
bit of hacking around in the past couple days with this all
command line stuff man, we talked about command line on
Sunday, and I was kind of getting back into that. Yep. And
I really wanted to string stuff together and make my computer
work for me for one. So I delve back into my what is it? The
book is called Unix in a nutshell one of my favorite
O'Reilly publications. Yeah. Thank you buzzkill twice in the
head. And so I found a great application called TTY TT er
titter which of course TTY is for Tex terminal emulator,
whatever it is, but TTY TT er. And so it's a script that I
could actually work with that I could understand and it can do
stuff with Twitter. So I've set it up where it can essentially
follow an account and when that account updates it it brings
down all of the all of the you know the 2020 most recent tweets
strips out as much crap as possible and then transfers it
into text into speech and then uploads it and puts it into
rotation on the stream so every I think six or seven songs you
get some news so I have the ah n which is a Twitter that I've
been following for a while which delivers really nice headline
news and there's some other son
as you're rambling here I want to point out to people that this
is actually the real Adam curry are listening to hear he is a
nerd Correct? Going and so I played with that for your your
What are you doing this for it? I'm not getting it you say
something? Okay,
so the whole stream is automated. That's the whole
point and it's automated. The the music mixes automated what
songs play four times a day talking about the stream that we
have that no agenda stream.com Correct
and no agenda stream then this is going to be streaming 24/7 I
guess that's been streaming 24/7 for about a week now. Yeah.
And I have I was acquainted with this which I mentioned to you
with with KPOPKP op RAM from wasn't ready. Yes, KP op Kpop
which was a PA upstaging, needless to say in that was
located at Pacific Ocean Park in Santa Monica, which was a one of
the last really great amusement parks down in Southern
California had a very unique roller coaster. And with two big
dips in a row, and anyway, and it also had a right to Mars,
which was kind of a thrill. So the Pacific Ocean Park had this
automated radio station, I think was the first in the country.
This was like in the long time ago,
80s must have been a I think 70s Even now,
I think it was in the 70s tapes, cool. They were they had a bunch
of computers, supposedly, I don't know what these were. But
they had all they had these bang, you could look inside the
place because it was glass had a glass wall. He'd look inside,
there was nobody working it. And they had these computers with
these big giant reels of tape. They were like the 10 inch legal
BNC tapes. Yeah. And one of whom would would be going and then it
would stop. And then another one would fire up. Yeah, remember
those systems? Sure. Right. Another one would fire up with
an announcer your Kp op in Santa Monica, listening to blah, blah,
blah, and boom, the dead it would stop. And then the next
another real was start rolling again with all the songs on it.
And it was like, wow, that was really cool for the first era
was in the 70s.
So the problem with automated radio stations is that they you
know, they're not there's nothing, there's no action going
on. And this is this is the real Adam curry. When it comes to
radio, you know, you kind of have something happening. And
the mistake that people make with radio, terrestrial
broadcast radio is really for geographic communities, that's
when it works best, which is why Clear Channel is failing so
badly. Because you can't have a guy sitting in Texas doing a
show for Pennsylvania, it just doesn't work exactly. But us act
but radio also works. And that's where I'm taking the stream, as
for a community of interests, so it's not huge, you know, a
couple 100,000 is our community of interest. So the songs that
I'm putting on there, I think will relate and that's something
that I've I've been programming songs and stations for most of
my life. But then I really want some news and not, you know, not
just regurgitated AP, but I do want a tea, but I want it
selected. So there are people out there who are selecting news
already twittering that. So all I'm doing is bringing it down,
and then turning it into a sound file, which actually on the Mac,
there's a built in voice that doesn't sound too bad. And in
context, it's kind of easy to understand because it's short,
you know what it is, it's not like a book where you don't know
what's going to happen or you don't know the the topics of the
day, so your brain can parse a little bit easier. And today, I
took the final step. And I set up a Twitter account. And that
Twitter account is no agenda stream. If you send a direct
tweet to it. So at sign no agenda stream, then your comment
will play on the stream within five to 10. So you want to hear
the most recent one.
This is a crazy.
I mean, it's gonna it's gonna get out of control, of course,
and you know, I have no filtering on it.
I have a lot of you guys shot.
Man. Hold on. Let me let me just update it just to make sure I
have the most recent one
this could catch on. Wow. Another invention by Adam curry.
You should patent it immediately.
No, no, this is what's gonna happen. Man. You didn't invent
that man. We've been doing command line stuff forever.
Dude, you didn't invent Twitter? Did
you? Why did you invented the mp3 player? Or you invented
streaming? This is this is the life I have to lead with just
play the play.
I'm just making sure I'm just uploading the most the most
recent one. So it's on cron jobs and you know all this groovy
stuff, right? It's I'm quite proud of myself. Okay, here it
is. Let me so it's updated. I gave people a second there
because there's a little bit of a delay on the stream. Let's
listen to it. Hold on. Fire up bitch.
Here the most recent tweets from Gitmo nation from twitter.com/no
agenda stream steroid says Hi Adam and Twitter's I have a
stream suggestion. How about inserting some highlight clips
from previous shows navajas has all of this says Keep up the
good work crackpot and buzz kill you
What do you think conspire
I like it You mean it's kind of creepy on the one hand but the
other hand is like I can see people getting getting to
hypnotized by that
well it's cool because you're gonna sit around and wait for
your for your own tweet. You want to hear your own thing on
the air of course. And and you know the the trick is is to
figure out how you need to write something so it sounds really
good. For instance, when someone says devote when someone tweets
Dvorak the sound file and we should talk to Apple about that
doesn't are set properly. It does a Divorce Act type thing.
Yes, listen to the car podcast
all Gosh this.com Thanks for keeping us informed. Jim
Lunsford says I would like to see the show go three times a
week or shortening
if we're gonna get a lot of those. Anyways, so that's up and
running, enjoy it, have some fun with it. I'm not quite sure
where we're going to take it. I do have a couple more ideas up
my sleeve. Just to make this a real community of interest
station, which I think is possible. And a part of that
will be song requests, and I'm working on that. It's got
pub, this guy PR written all over it. Er, I'm now you can get
ink for this.
Oh, yeah. Oh, excuse me. I just got a tweet from Mike Arrington.
He can't wait to talk to me. Yeah, right. Anyway, so that's
what's that's what I saw. And it was kind of nice to get back
into that programming vibe, man just to i There were two days
that I didn't even watch CNBC. Oh, woe is me.
It means C span.
And then I watched see it CNBC is on all day. And then I switch
back and forth. If I know there's something coming up
because CNBC does cover a lot of on the US CNBC, which I get
through the sling box from our wonderful friend in Detroit.
They cut live to sometimes hours of testimony, and they're
probably loving it. They're like smoking dubes To have an
martinis. Fine. I don't have to do anything on the air. You
know, Aaron's primping her hair.
Aaron didn't do a thing. But for her i Jingle. Your chair in the
Council of Foreign Affairs babe.
She's been assimilated man. But a lot to a lot happening quite a
lot. And I'm dismayed. I have to say
that they're getting away with it. They're getting away with
focusing not just the United States, but the entire world on
$170 million of bonuses. Ooh, boy. Everybody. Look over here.
Look over here. No, look at the billions going off the back.
Look over here. It is unbelievable.
You know what? I'm not absolutely sure about what why
this has never brought how many people are going to divide up
that money. I mean, they make it sound like there's 140
They have 100,000 employees. They have 100,000 employees.
AIG? Yeah. Is this is this 143,000,243 people? Or 143
million people? I mean, I mean, what is the we don't know? I
mean, so when the bonus may be minor, maybe 50 bucks ahead for
all we know. I mean, they don't say it but the thing is, it
doesn't matter. It's so bad because it is a distraction.
You're right. It's a complete distraction. And
look over here. Meanwhile, you know, this. Eliot Spitzer wrote
a great article in Slate, I think, Oh, let me see if I can
find it. And it's good when it comes from a guy like Spitzer
because we know he likes hookers. Therefore he's good in
our book. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. And by the way, he
likes good hookers. Let's be honest, the man has
gone for the girls are wandering around. No, no, no, you're going
for the specialities. So he says, you know, now that we
know, because a lot of the counterparty names. So again,
AIG, just for people who don't quite get it, you don't have to
understand a lot about finance, to understand that what AIG as
an insurance company did was to insure money deals, let's just
put it that way. They're called swaps, or CDOs, or whatever. But
money deals and if a money deal went bad, then they would have
to pay out on for whatever that money deal was insured for just
like your house or your car or whatever. Except they they were
marketing, their insurance, on insurance on insurance. And
essentially, they now owe a whole bunch of people close to a
quadrillion dollars. That's 1000 trillion. Okay. 1000 trillion.
So and I watched a lot of this testimony with the the new CEO.
And what they're doing literally is they're just winding he keeps
saying we're winding it down. We're winding it down, ergo,
every time we put in money, then they're winding down one of
those bad deals they made, but who did they make the deals
with? Who did they agree to pay? It's Goldman Sachs is JP Morgan,
a whole bunch of foreign banks. But literally Goldman Sachs is
getting this money. Just it's not going directly to them. It's
going through AIG. It sits on their spreadsheet for a second.
And then it's pooped over to Goldman, and this is all going
into the into the same people's pockets continuously. And it's
it's 180 billion AIG alone. And John, by the way, why don't we
own 100% of AIG? Why only 80 as a shareholder, I'm getting a
little pissed. thought
that's a good point. Well, they I think they I think it's a
political thing where you say we don't want to own 100% Because
then it's the same as nationalizing we can't do that.
Through all that said, Oh, it's for the nationalization thing.
Yeah, that makes sense. Links, by the way, for everything we
discuss in the show notes that no agenda.me veoh.com, including
that excellent article by, by our friendly hooker lover, Eliot
Spitzer.
By the way, you know, a lot of people felt that Spitzer was so
aggressive as the is the state attorney general, that and he
was going after all these guys that, you know, are in the news
now, that they had to get rid of him. And as they set him up
largely with the hookers and you know, they, you know, they put
detectives on him and everything else to get him out of the
picture. Gee, you think? I mean,
if he had shot himself twice in the head, it would couldn't have
been more clear
crabs, and drop them in a small play
their favorite method? So in all of this, there's some
interesting news that's come out that's floating around the
interwebs. And the drop as well, about politicians and how much
they actually received from AIG. Have you seen this list? Have
you blog that yet?
No, I didn't. I don't know if we blogged it or not. But I've see
I know, the list is gets shows that AIG these guys are bought
and sold. We have a legislature that is just a bunch of
sellouts. They don't care about the public. They're just so into
their own cell, who's at the top
of that list.
I don't know who Nancy Pelosi,
no, try Barack Obama. Oh, well, that's even better. $101,332 in
contributions from AIG, how does that work? By the way, I thought
you could only donate 2000 bucks.
You don't donate to the guy, you're donate to a, a Shem
something in between, like, like the Democratic National
Committee, you can give them as much money as you want. And you
do it in such a way that, you know, as soon as he's nominated,
you know, it's gonna go to him, you give them a big pile of
money to do with whatever they want. And it doesn't have to be
the DNC, it could be any number of organizations that are just
kind of collectors of money. It's, you know, it's something
it's a middleman that good bypasses that that restriction.
So you know how I always say that there is absolutely no
difference between the Republican and the DEM and the
Democratic Party, because they're being run by the same by
the same group of people. So just look at the top 10 Just for
a second, the top 10 donations from AIG. Number one, actually,
Chris Dodd, the man who approved the bonuses, the 170 100 100 and
$60 million in bonuses. He received $103,100 from AIG, as I
said, Obama 101 3032 Number three on the list, John McCain,
but he did get a lot less because now they had to hedge
their bet they're 59,499 Hillary Clinton right after that. 35,965
If we'd actually seen these, you know, you would have thought
Chris Dodd would have been President.
You know, Chris Dodd has got to be the worst of the bunch.
He reminds me if he had like, if he dyed his hair black he could
be in the Soprano's. He could be one of those like quiet guys
that just stands up and shoots you in the face you know what I
mean? Without him and Joe Biden Yeah. And Rahm Emanuel with his
chopped off finger there mobsters I tell
you well, they sure act like it. I know Chris Dodd puts the
screws to Silicon Valley and they get ends up getting a lot
of money directly for his campaign from California.
Really, what do you mean puts the screws to him?
He has a couple of minor threats that he throws at him apparently
the way financing is done with venture capital there's a couple
of tax loopholes that they take advantage of. And every once in
a while and I'm told this from various sources reliable
sources, reliable sources that God will you know, put the
screws busy, you know, that tax loophole there. Some we could
tax probably, if we really all thank you for the check.
We, we, the stuff we talk about here on no agenda, and the end,
the loop is closing a lot of it. People will say you're just
crazy, that's nuts. And then all of a sudden it's on the front
page like today. Financial Times fed moves to buy treasuries,
stuns investors Was it not four weeks ago that I said the Fed
has just approved to buy treasuries I mean this was known
information known information it Yeah.
I'm just as baffled by this this kind of lag time as you
are but it's getting shorter. So you know, it's gonna
make our job tougher. We will have to do three Shows a week
but we can't do it unless people contribute more
weight. Well, I don't do the contribute contributions yet. I
wanted to say that you my friend. called one out. So spot
on the money it hurt. Yeah, we were talking about Jon Stewart
and his Kramer show. And you said, you know, he might do Jon
Stewart must have really gotten burned by by investments because
he's probably pull them down a million a year and use it seemed
to take it very personal. Well, lo and behold, John Liebowitz
because that's his real name. has a brother named Larry
Liebowitz, who was the head of US markets and global technology
at the New York Stock Exchange. You're up next. also held high
positions at Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley. There's a great
article on page six in the New York Post, that that even talks
about a conversation that Larry and John were having in the
elevator that someone overheard you know, it's like, totally,
totally spot on the money. His brother got completely reamed,
because I guess it wasn't high up enough. And he probably just
got destroyed by the system. And that's why John was taking it so
personally.
Well, I'm sure John, rely on his brother. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. I mean, that's what you can. Of course, of course.
That's why That's why we know Andrew Horowitz
you know his I saw his piece the one that he got bumped for.
Yeah, they turned that into a Samantha BPCE
Yeah. No, I wasn't Samantha BPS from the beginning.
Did he know how it was going to turn out?
No, no, in fact he did he you know we actually talked about
this in it. You know, he you know, they shoot a lot of the
they they'll set you down the whole thing is literally post
post production. As a post production job. They'll sit you
down in this chair and do some plays Okay, now just stare give
me a blank stare at a little b roll here goes blank stare now
blink a lot. And it's just there stares fine. And then they'll do
that bit with which they always do on John Stuart were the were
the personality doing something crazy. There's some crazy and
then they just show this blank look on that. But they were very
kind and gentle with Horowitz and the reason we think is
because the Samantha Bee took a liking to him. It just I guess
in the pre interviews and Cranach just not a romantic
liking a liking that maybe I can use this guy as my money
manager. Really? That's funny, seriously, and so so why, you
know, I don't think I want to get him too pissed off. So I'm
gonna I'm gonna be real gentle kind of gentle. Soft this thing
I've ever seen in the Jon Stewart show.
I got through it. Okay, that was all right.
He was worried sick. Oh, really?
I shouldn't be if you do
dry reef dumb he should have been cuz I told him before he
got when he got booked. I started briefing him, you know,
giving him pre, you know, some ideas are what they're going to
do to them. And cause he actually first thought he was
gonna, like be sitting at the desk was stored. And then I said
I don't think so. And then we went into it. And this is Oh,
and I said, Who's it gonna be? Oh, Samantha Bee. Oh my God.
They said you've got to do this. And
it was really Yeah, it was a good one though. I liked it. It
was pretty funny. Yeah, it was pretty funny. I was like, horror
was to say yeah, it's good make money and then she talks to some
some CEO Why don't you just short your own stock make some
money on your own?
That guy was which was what was the name that was the I forget
which company that was, but that CEO is the biggest whiner I have
ever seen funny.
So Meanwhile, back in the real world, not time for real news
yet, John. The corporate or the commercial real estate bubble is
now starting to pop and the story. Yeah, well, but it's sad.
link in the show notes to a story from msnbc.com. About a an
apartment complex in Arizona 320 unit apartment complex. They
noticed that weed starting to grow and the pool started to
turn green.
That's actually a term for that. It's called I think it's called
Green pooling or something. There's, I'm sure there is Yeah.
Because there's all these pools, especially through Arizona,
which really got hit hard. Then they'll put pools everywhere,
which you need in Arizona. And so they're all turning green,
because nobody's there to you know, add the chlorine, right.
So
the, the company that owned the property or ran the property,
what is it Bethany holdings group, and they basically went
out of business, but they just literally left town 100
Hundreds, hundreds of millions of dollars of properties. These
people are paying eight $900 a month for a one bedroom
apartment with a green pool. And so you know, that's obviously a
problem but where it really, really hits me People is these
corporations. They didn't pay the water bill that didn't pay
the electricity bill. So, so there's like, you know, $100,000
water bill that these tenants that have to come up with,
otherwise the water gets shut off. It's not funny. And this
Oh, it's
pathetic. It's totally
pathetic. So that's how it starts. And I'm sure we'll be
reporting on a lot more of that in the future.
Well, yeah, well, it's got to bottom out here. Notice that you
haven't been using that you feel the bottom yet. John gag No,
because he stopped about two months ago.
Yeah, because I called the bottom and hit it and when even
below it, and it will go down to 6000. I've told you that and
six, we had 666 on the s&p, it'll go back back there. And
the reason why I know is, first of all, and people don't realize
what happened yesterday. Of course, the way it was reported
with this fed buying treasuries and pouring trillions of
dollars, they really just said, hey, hey, hey, everybody. Don't
look over here because the printing presses are rolling.
Were making up some money, everybody. Well, you
know, the printing presses shouldn't be rolling when we
have an when we have a deflationary period. So I don't
find this to be a bad thing. To me, that's what the Fed supposed
to do is balance. You know, get this No, no, no,
no, no, the Fed does. What do mean, the Fed is supposed to do
that. We don't need the Fed. That's what they do. But they do
it for themselves. Not for Johnny and Adam,
but they they're supposed to be doing it for us. You and me. Oh,
okay. Thanks. They're supposed to be doing it. Well, they
did a good job. They did that little bye and boom, the market
goes up again. It starts to stabilize. I think this is fine.
I don't see it. But I think it's over.
Are you kidding me? You think it's over? No fucking way.
They've they've just printed trillions more, John, maybe we
might have 15 $20 trillion out there that's new and been
created, either is not to be paid for with taxes, printing or
borrowing? This is this is not sustainable.
I think we're, I think we're done. I think the bad and the
bad times are over, we're heading to good times.
Okay. Well, we're not.
Well, I mean, you say that all the time. And you're gonna keep
turn your speaker down just a little bit. While you're yelling
is the reason to speak to this.
Well, what's the problem here your speakers because you refuse
to wear headphones or my yelling, I used to headphones in
the other house, and you sounded great. And now you're back to
your own bland self.
Bland.
So here's what's happening. The G 20 is taking place in London,
April 2, I believe it starts the G 20. The 20 most powerful
governments in the universe come together the finance ministers,
that would be our treasury, Secretary Geithner all came
together earlier or late last week. And here's what's going to
happen. As predicted, the global bank that I see coming is going
to be the IMF, they've now agreed that they're going to
create these SDRs special deposit rights, I think it's
called 750 billion of them. And it's just making up a new
currency, just making up a new amount of stuff. And every
country that runs into trouble will borrow from the IMF under
the same terms and conditions the IMF always gives to
countries like countries in Africa and if you can't pay it
back then we own you. And so that is now well underway. Yeah.
Okay. All right. All as well.
I think Did you notice the I don't know you will if you were
on the on the Slingbox to watch 60 minutes this last week,
Bernanke. I saw bits and pieces of it. I'm sure that's what
you're referring to.
Yeah, Bernanke was on shaking by the way because they didn't know
they like to put the real they'd like to zoom really close.
Really close. zoom the camera. Here he was really his ego. His
lips were she was quivering. Yes. Nurburgring. Well, I think
he was Yeah, he definitely was nervous. And he also had a bit
of spittle
right in the middle you just want to go wipe off like the
dude to do
well. It's between right in the middle of his mouth, glued to
the top and lower lips at the same time. So every time he
opened and closing said anything there was this gob of goop bit.
Oh, that
people have like those white white lines that then stick to
their lips when they're talking. That's what it
was. Oh, gosh, horrible. Oh, I was watching this. I was
cringing. I was like, Why doesn't the guy say hey, you got
a dab of spit. So anyway, so he's talking with this bit
going? Oh, that's so wrong. And I don't know what he said to be
honest about because it was so distracting with this GABAs spit
it It wasn't listening to him. I don't know you know what the
whole point of this interview was? Well this is tried to
explain the system
well this is part of the initiative. I've figured it out
you know that it's a big PR thing that that's being just
rammed down our throats the President is going on The
Tonight Show tonight with Jay Leno. And I got to get that on
tape and the 24th which is what is that Tuesday? No, no is it
he's going live to address the nation I mean, it is the
desperation must be so high or the or just another you know
reiteration of the message it's maybe
their V they've taken the hint that they've got to say
something positive
now he's not I'll bet you a cigar Yank gonna say anything
positive
you think is gonna go it's it's gonna get worse before it gets
better that pitch again, that's
just got to because, you know, they they're trying to move this
stimulus this package through which I guess hasn't been voted
on? And you know, no one wants to didn't want that. And I
haven't taken a vote because of all this bonus crap and you
know, all the all this just stuff all these distractions. So
yeah, he's gonna go out there and say, We got to do it. And
Tim Geithner rules. That's basically what he that's the
message he's been giving.
Well, the rallies Bernanke gave something of a positive message
even though it didn't influence the market much although it
didn't kill it either. Like usual. I mean, the way it
usually works is that when either Geithner or Obama speak
and Ben Horowitz has talked about this, the market tanks the
next day, because they're sending the wrong message. Well,
maybe they want the market to tank.
Thank you. Okay, there we go. Welcome to my side of the fence,
John. Exactly the whole thing the Kramer thing it's I mean
look, who runs by the way didn't reach
out to get Kramer and that trying to get him off the bus. I
mean, if he's not if they're not going to take him off the air
it's just it's a distraction. It's just go look at Kramer go
look at that guy. Go be angry at him. Go be angry. At the AIG
people go be angry with everybody except the people who
actually did it like Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Barney Frank, the
guy who had transsexual hookers running an escort ring from his
Washington DC apartment from his condo.
And it's unbelievable that they think he's running the
Banking Committee. They're doing this the testimony with the the
new chairman of AIG, and they're all the pink ladies were there
the pink ladies wear pink T shirts and the holding up signs.
It's a fire Geitner and they're not disrupting anything but
they're just holding up signs. And so they go through the whole
opening statement you know, the the first bit of testimony from
once I forget his name the CEO, and and then the whoever's
running the panel says, Okay, now the ladies and Lady Yeah,
lady, ladies and pink, you have to put the signs down they have
to be either you can give them give them up or you'll be
removed from the from the from the hearing for like a nice free
speech. So they give up their signs. And then Barney Frank
says, Hello. I'm glad they didn't have any slogans on their
T shirts. I was like, Oh my god. The guy is just doing stand up.
See if I poorly. Ah,
those are the people who are running everything God.
So yeah. In more interesting news. There's a new of a new
food show on NBC. Based on kind of, it's called chopping block.
And I think this stuff has all passed saying I want to talk
about food for wine and food for a minute because people like to
hear about it and I'd like to talk about it. So they got this
guy, Marco Pierre White. Have you ever heard of him? No. I
guess he was like an early. He was a celebrity chef of some
sort pre Emeral back in the late 90s. And he went off to become
just a kind of an entrepreneur and he's he's kind of like a
second rate even though supposedly according to his bio,
he's the guy who who trains are one of the guys who train Gordon
Ramsay. Even though if you listen to Ramsey it's mostly
French guys. So he's got this show called chopping block which
is a clone of Hell's Kitchen. But this guy's got no
personality and but he but because of him existing. They
give him credit for being the first Brit to win a three stars
and I'm looking at all this stuff to say this isn't true.
But then I realized it
is this the guy who's everyone got food poisoned.
Is that right? Oh,
the one of the celebrity TV chefs on the closes restaurant
two weeks ago because everyone this is the guy that does the
blowtorch stuff and A nitrous oxide to cook. We were seeing
that guy. No, he
doesn't cook anymore. So it can't be him. Well, let's look
this up.
I had it on the list. Go ahead, finish your story. I'll look it
up. I don't know. I mean, he's just not he was just talking
shit. It wasn't going anywhere. That guy was. Yeah, he the 400
people got sick from eating his food is three star Michelin
restaurant. Here it is. He's not on
restaurant closed due to food poisoning. He's off our list.
Heston Blumenthal.
Hey, you never heard of him. Now. He doesn't show him a TV
show. And he cooks with with interesting things.
Well, that's terrible. Jane Seymour has food poisoning
according to celebrity gossip. Hold
on a second. William cheese. You're going way too fast. And
now back to real. Tell me what's going on with James Seymour. One
of my favorite
meals poisoning the poor lady, poor woman. So she wouldn't
didn't check us. This was some while ago when she was on
Dancing with the Stars. Anyway, the point is, is that one thing
so I was like, watching this thing and said this guy stinks.
So I did a little research on him. And I started looking stuff
up. And he maybe he stinks as a TV personality. But he's he
makes a lot of interesting points. If you start looking him
up on the web, because he shows up with Tony Bourdain a lot. He
shows up to mostly complain about this about the food scene
as it now exists with these 18 course. Dippy shit menus and all
this kind of hoity toity crappy, you know, he's trying to push
people back to what we're doing Urinetown now, which is go to
some good place that has a real simple, nice, tasty, outstanding
small menu. And then tell people about it. I think that the worm
has turned and that is all this Armand ism is coming to an end.
And I think this show is probably going to,
it's going to be leading the charge. Yes, we are indeed.
Moving it up. We missed a great moment, which is not available
on video. Because there was only a pool Reporter This is what a
lot of these mainstream companies do is, you know, so
abc will have an affiliate somewhere and then they'll do
the pool video for everybody. I guess it's they must have some
kind of sharing agreements, kind of like peering agreements in a
way between all the stations. So you don't have that basically to
cut down on news organizations, all standing there with a
million cameras that they send one guy or they have one, one
station or one. Yes,
that has been going on since the 60s? Well, unfortunately,
we missed a great moment in a great Irish moment with Irish
Prime Minister Brian Cowen. He was doing an address with Barack
Obama, they were together and you know, for St. Patrick's Day,
he was in Washington, and he's reading off the teleprompter,
the prime minister. And then he realized, oh, yeah, he had just
logged this. Yeah, but there's no video of it. He repeated. He
was because they had they still had the president speech up
there. And he was repeating the President's speech. And then the
President gets back up, and then they but by then they had
switched it back to the guy speech and then then Obama winds
up thanking himself. Thank you, President Obama. He just reads
it straight off the prompter.
Just prompter thing is out of control at this guy.
But the video has been it's been completely annihilated. It's
nowhere.
Oh, I didn't realize that.
Yeah, the pool was was shot by a PTN. So they didn't have that
sort
of news. There's the great news organizations at work.
Yeah. Finally, finally, some real news that we can use. And
without some funny
and yeah. It's just nuts. So the restaurant where the guy Poison
Pill was The Fat Duck?
Yeah, that's it. Right? Yeah. Just stand on the news for a
second. Have you heard of these background briefings? You know
what these are? Well, yeah. Okay. So there was this is all
in lieu of transparency?
The Oh, yeah. You're checking the transparency, that how's it
doing?
I'm afraid to go look@recovery.gov. Just just
because of the stuff I'm reading elsewhere, the White House on
Monday held one of these super secret background briefing
calls. And the way it works is you're allowed to as as a member
of the press, you're allowed to be a part of the briefing, but
you can't actually report on it. Which just blows me away.
It's been going on forever.
I thought but I thought this was going to stop.
I thought I've tried Yes, it hasn't.
I thought transparency was in our future.
Job. That's a lie. No way. You kidding. We have we've been
duped. We have I wonder how long it's gonna take for some of the
people who voted for Obama to realize they've been duped.
I don't think anyone you know we're still in the Amen. It's
only been two months.
Right? That's just gonna be a man. It's only been six months.
So about a year I'm gonna
give him 100 days at least come on, man. I have, boy, I have
some. And now back to real animal rights protesters target

john@divorce.org And I'll find out figure out why my could have
been overlooked is also Brio up. Sorry. $50 from Brian O'Keefe,
who actually sent that check. Oh, very
nice. Kevin writes in and says Adam, I thought you might be
interested to know something I found out about iridium. Now, of
course, Iridium is a part of the satellite network that is
completely run by the military, and then recently crashed into
the Russian satellite, the start of the Space War, which
apparently caused all this debris, right. I mean, the Space
Shuttle couldn't launch there were all these things going on
lots of space debris. Oh, it's gonna be so horrible reports
front page news. Well, I work for a company that sells Iridium
satellite and bandwidth slash equipment. I asked someone I
know that works directly for them. And he said the collision
has been misreported that the satellite was not destroyed. It
was only a glancing blow that did not leave any debris other
than one more dysfunctional satellite that was knocked out
of orbit. I'm not sure if there are any implications of this,
but thought you might think it was interesting. Yes, I do. So
wow, they're saying so on the one hand, that's supposed to be
all this debris, all this shit going on. And then directly from
sources, we find out that nothing really crashed apart.
There was no explosion. It wasn't like Star Wars where
Darth Vader's zap someone, it just blink. It's like Spaceballs
blink, bumped into each other. So why would they? Why would all
this debris stuff come up? Then all of a sudden, what is that
about? Presuming that Kevin has the inside dope on this?
Well, let's assume so. I mean, we don't know we can't confirm
it, but it makes some sense. It says Why would somebody send us
a note like that? I always ask. Unless they're trying to feed us
this information. What would be the point? No,
he's not trying. I think he's trying to feed us good
information. Yeah, that's
what I'm thinking to me. That's what it sounds like. So let's
assume it is. So what was the point of All these discussions
about all this debris all of a sudden, by the way, if there
was, if those things busted into a million pieces anyway, it
would I mean, how much? You know, the spate is pretty big if
you start doing the calculation, the likelihood of ever running
into any piece of debris in that troposphere, above the
troposphere, considering the square miles is like running
into a bug log in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You know,
it's just pretty hard to do.
Well, there's someone's lying somewhere. And
why? Why is the question that's what we want to know. We do more
than just by the way, I forgot to mention at the end of that,
as mentioned, of all those names, that is divorce.org/n. A,
if you want to contribute to the show, because we can use your
help.
wasn't easy shortcut? No agenda library.com.
Either one, that's an easy. So the point is, is that one of the
things we tried to do here is we tried to get to the why of a
story, right, which I don't think anybody does anymore. No,
I mean, it's much easier to take. I see that you know,
what's worked. And we should also mention that we were seldom
get to the why we don't have any clue what the why is.
What does unfold because we set people up, you start them people
to start paying attention to stuff as an example. So we're
talking about Afghanistan, by the way, 50% of people polled in
the United Kingdom do not know why we're in Afghanistan. And
honestly, I think if you ask any politician, the only answer they
come up with is what to save that country from horrible
demise. That's the only thing they can say. But then when we
keep talking about it, you know, I'm I'm 100% Convinced that 90%
of the mission is to protect the poppy fields, so that good drugs
good heroin can continue to flow in to the west. And so our
military craft basically being sold the government's in that
that money then gets flushed through Wall Street.
So you know, yeah, keeps the economy going.
So here we have from Australia, global opium production is at an
all time high. Australia is unbelievable. How does that
work? Australia is at risk of a new flood of heroin, the
Australian National Council on drugs has warned. I love this.
It was it's back at the levels just before us exploded in the
late 1990s. So it's exploding now. The latest figures show the
number of border detections of heroin Australia were the
highest on record. And it literally says in the article is
all coming from Afghanistan and from Burma. Well, dude, how can
it how can it be, are all as no one looking? And they're just
kind of moved to the wall. They got a whole bunch of camels a
whole bunch of keys hanging on their bubble. There's no
military here. I just kind of walk away with it. It's all
drugs.
Well, they always say you know, the well who's the guy is so
that told us a debt cars is the world's biggest drug.
The guy from the Afghan who runs the shop up the street.
Right? And they the square, we get our news, ladies and
gentlemen.
I trust that guy more than any other report on reading, I cut a
deal. I like this guy. I cut a DVD for him of Alex Jones as the
Obama deception. I said that here, dude, I just want you to
watch this because you feel horrible that your country is
fucked up. Take a look at mine. You tell me which one you'd
rather have, at least you know, you can point a weapon and solve
yours. Our guys are so embedded. We're completely screwed the
whole system is I don't
understand why the media doesn't get out on the street more and
get some of this stuff. This is what really bothers me. You
know, I went to Israel shortly after the first Iraq war, during
this era where you had what's his name that one reporter
called this stud who was always ducking.
Oh, yeah, that was that was 93. Wasn't it?
Like that? So I'm over there. And I'm talking to these just
the people they say yeah, when they Scott attacks were taking
place, they would be people who put chairs out on the watch,
because it was a hell of a show because these things were such
junk that they usually go up in the air and blow up about
halfway. And he said that and they get one guy said to me says
you know, and I said well, did you get to see this Patriot
missiles knocked them out of the air. And this is before the real
story came out. He says no, no, everybody knew those things.
couldn't hit anything. They never hit one of
those patriots to go in, they'll be done. Right. Gone.
Yeah. And that was apparently a fun show to watch. As long as
one of them didn't happen to land on your roof, but which
was, you know, unlikely. But, you know, as I said, Do you mean
the Patriots Don't worry now they don't work and everybody
knows it. So you go back to the United States and all these
Patriot missiles and you know, we can eat the next generation.
They're talking about how they were working. And then I noticed
about three or four years later, which is what happens with all
these news stories. The truth comes out that the Patriot
missiles never worked ever. They were bogus. It was just to make
people fit thing something was going on it was working. And I
wonder, you know, and I see this a lot you see this, you know
this, you talk about the delay in the in the truth actually
hitting the streets and sometimes it goes on for years
because nobody wants to, you know, when the fuss is over, you
know, you can you can say, Yeah, well, they never worked in the
first place. You should have known better. I find this
distressing that too. So much of this kind of thing. I mean, why?
Why don't we get this more? I mean, it's just a white, where
the two of us even talking about doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm completely baffled. And of course, meanwhile, all these
local newspapers that the Seattle Yeah, yep, closed its
doors for the print edition on Tuesday. I'm looking for a copy
for the collection for the library.
The last the last edition. Yeah, I think I have a wall of them.
Oh, for the library? Of course. Yes.
Yeah, no, I got the one for the Rocky Mountain News. I got that
one. Somebody sent that because I just need this one. And I'll
need the Chronicle, which I can usually pick up that'll go under
probably in the next two months. And, you know, they'll be
they'll be happening everywhere. Now, one of the things that's
interesting about these newspapers folding, besides the
fact that I believe much of the reasons they're folding, because
they're not giving the public good information, too many
features and men, you know, brain dead stories and AP wire
service crap, which is from a propaganda mill. But you know,
this actually began this. People blame the internet, I don't I
believe
they blame Macs. They blame the internet. They blame Google.
They blame everybody.
Yeah, they blame everybody. But the fact is, this started to
happen in the 70s. That's why Nixon had to implement the joint
operating agreements. So these newspapers could like right on
each other's coattails. What
was the joint operating agreements, what was that
the joint operating agreement showed up? And then during Nixon
put it in place, which did the idea in the newspapers having so
struggling so much in various cities, Detroit being one of
them, I think that may have triggered the joint operating
agreement. And the idea was that the local newspapers that were
in a metropolitan area could pool their resources. In other
words, they could split the revenues from a couple of
functions, namely classified advertising, or just general
advertising. Because before that, was
that was that was going to anti cartel or whatever or anti
competitive
who I mean? Well, it was Pat. I mean, it did, nobody ever threw
it out. But anyway, the idea was, you could pool your money,
the money you made and split it up. And you could also pull your
resources for delivery. So you so two newspapers in the same
area didn't have to have two sets of trucks. So they jointly
did joint distribution. And all they would compete with would be
for subscribers. And even though they decided that, well, why
bother? And so this just, you know, the day just made things
worse, but the fact of the matter was paperwork, were
already folding back during the Nixon era, because of television
news. And they've just been on a downward decline ever since. And
this just the internet, just put the nail in the coffin for
classifieds. That's about it. But that was, I guess, the last
nail that was needed. And now all these guys are screwed.
Yeah, we used to have horse and buggy drivers. And we used to
have a music industry. Yeah, shit changes. But it does bring
up an interesting point, John, because there's one topic that
is not being discussed at all, anywhere in any mainstream
media. And I know why. But I'd like to pick your brain about a
couple of things. Because you're such a historian. The hardest
thing for any news outlet to bring up is the relationship
between the United States and Israel. Because, you know,
particularly, I'd say in print probably maybe even worse than
radio or television. One, one word, one nuance, one comma, one
apostrophe, one little thing placed in the wrong spot, and
you're an anti Semite. Which is, which makes it very, very
difficult for people to talk about. But we cannot ignore. We
just cannot ignore the news that is coming out. You know,
there's, there's a new government installed in, in
Israel. And there's all kinds of weird shit going on. My first
question to you, because I'd really like to understand it.
Why? We already know why America and the United Kingdom have a
special relationship because the UK are, you know, basically
bootlickers. And they'll do whatever the President says. But
what is what is the special relationship with Israel based
on and why is it so special? And when did this start?
Well, I think it started with World War Two,
but obviously, after World War Two, when when the state was
created,
but there were some names there. You know, this is a good
question. I watched these these specials on this. And I kind of
baffled by it myself. It's not that I think Israel should go
away because it's probably the only productive country in that
whole region. And they have. I mean, it's just when you go
around down there, it's obvious that They have more on the ball.
Let me cut straight to the chase. And let me just take that
let me just take the heat for saying it. But the one thing
you're never allowed to say is that there are a lot of Israeli
citizens or people from Israel. I'm specifically not saying Jews
because has nothing to do with being Jewish, but Israelis who
are embedded throughout our government right now.
You mean like Rahm Emanuel? Well, it's,
but it's, yeah, obviously Rahm Emanuel. But that's not he's not
the only one. Just look at all of the Greenberg, who was the
CEO of AIG before Liddy. He's an Israeli. Okay. There's Larry
Silverstein, who bought the World Trade Centers, you know,
two weeks before they were destroyed and collected 4
billion in insurance money, Israeli Mort Zuckerman Israeli.
Is there something or we may be under threat from Israel? Is
that Is that possible? They are a nuclear state?
Well, there's a No, I have no idea.
Christ John. Like I think he's going to answer he's got an
answer. He's got something for me.
No, but not you mentioned, I think I'm gonna look a little
more into it. I'm not sure. I think the idea is there. I mean,
I, it's got some years, if you're gonna go to your basic
way of looking at things, my my simpleton way. Yes, thank you,
the way I would see it is that Israel is there to protect the
industry, there is a buffer state, a buffer state, which is
what they are not, you know, a buffer state to help us have
access to the Middle East oil in any way we can. And so I would
have to assume that we're talking about the Middle East,
we have to be talking about oil, and Israel's there for to do our
to do stuff for us. I think that there are, you know, they're
basically an extension of the United States, even though they
do their own thing, and they will occasionally go off the
deep end and do crazy stuff. But
I think I think it's exactly the opposite. I think the United
States has become an extension of Israel. That's what I'm
saying.
Yeah, I'm not I can't. That's too nuts. Okay, what's the
point? What do they get out of it? We get a lot out out of the
oil in the Middle East. So it's, it makes more sense for us to be
you know, and we're always and we're doing all this crazy stuff
around the world. I don't see that the Israelis are pushing us
around. Let's just you can't see it.
I sure hope not. But Rahm Emanuel does scare me.
Yeah, but he's just another jerk off.
Oh, hold on a second. That was good. Let's do this. Ladies and
gentlemen, John C. Dvorak weighs in on Rahm Emanuel.
He's just another jerk off
have left that clean because people like to use it as their
ringtone. I think the your Al Gore from last week is a big
hit. as
well. The ringtone thing is a good idea. And I noticed my
stepson Eric, the coder was saying you we should be moving
more ringtones Yeah, we were crazy that that goes viral with
some of these ringtones
Oh, man. Let's talk about climate change for a moment.
What is that? Well, Surely you've heard that we're all
going to die. You are right. I think you're right, again, that
you said it sounds like they're really desperate to get
something moving here. And of course, the whole idea is to
dupe everyone into thinking we're all going to die from
carbon dioxide. And if we don't immediately start paying taxes
on our carbon use converting ourselves into what they're
calling a low carbon economy, then we will die, which is kind
of a save or create jobs because it's easy to say, if we don't
get going right now, we're all going to die in 2012, which may
be completely true for other reasons, but I don't believe for
climate change. And if we don't die, then it's easy to say see,
see. But we didn't quite pay enough. We didn't pay enough
carbon taxes. So we're gonna die in another 10 years if we don't
keep it up. And if we don't die, then they'll say see, it's
working. So it's it's a total scam. And there's a big, big big
shindig coming up in Copenhagen. And this is what it's all about.
Copenhagen is where is where the the Global Carbon Tax Cap and
Trade. GOP your poop chute system is going to be introduced
and everyone is out there harping on it. Everyone is just
going going at it. And the papers here again, the George
mana Monbiot
from the guy idea that guy's a communist.
He wrote a book. Someone sent me a link to his book on Amazon.
Are you familiar with his book? I'm no manifesto of a new for a
new world order. I swear to God, it's a big red book manifesto
for a new world order. Okay. Now, you know,
I read that guy, and I just mix. It's one of the few writers I
don't remember that much. But I run into his stuff. Because he,
you know, he's in The Guardian, you know, which is a red paper.
And so I'm reading this stuff, and I look, it's just it's so I
can see where some people maybe don't like my commentary about
the Macintosh. Because you actually started your blood
starts to boil about halfway through it mainly began his
cases because I know how to write propaganda. And I can see
him using this technique just to befuddled the poor reader.
article from The Telegraph who were on to this what's worrying
the globalists are all the signs that the world's politicians
coverage on Copenhagen in December to discuss the
successor to the Kyoto Protocol under the guidance of the UN, I
P. CC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
there'll be so much disagreement, that they won't be
able to get more drastic measures to cut carbon
emissions. So the name of the game last week, according to
this article, as we see from a sample of quotations was to win
headlines by claiming everything is far worse than previously
suppose, sea level rises by 2100 could be much greater than the
59 centimeters predicted by the last IPCC report, global warming
could kill off 85% of the Amazon rainforest much more than
previously predicted, the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica
are melting much faster than predicted, the number of people
dying from heat could be twice as many as predicted. This is
out of control.
So what they've actually saying here, as again, which I've
brought up in the last show, is that they don't know what
they're talking about. No, because they they're all the
predictions are wrong. Why, oh, why aren't they wrong? Again,
I'll tell you what the hell they're doing.
When we were, when Ron and I had a public company listed on
NASDAQ, you would have to predict you give guidance for
the numbers for your next quarter. And you'd say, Okay,
we're gonna make five and a half to do that. But you don't have
to, but it is expected. And that what what investors particularly
institutional investors want to see is they want to see you can
predict properly. So if you say, we're going to lose five cents a
share, then that's okay, as long as you don't lose six cents a
share. However, if you say, we're going to lose five cents a
share, and you make 15 cents a share, you will get punished.
Because that means you cannot predict and you don't know what
you're doing in your business. So that's how it works in the
real world. But in the world of climate change. You can just
make anything up you want anything. Read this article from
The Telegraph, it's in the show notes. It will open up your
eyes. There was a there was a whole bunch of dignitaries were
in New York at a climate conference, including the
current president of the EU, the crazy check guy who says global
warming is a hoax. And no one reported on it. No one not a
single
report. This is why the newspapers are folding Yeah,
because they'll die because they suck day. Why don't we get you
know, I mean, you get sick everything is like directed.
It's like there's somebody orchestrating everything in the
newspapers are part of the orchestration, so we don't get a
broad spectrum of opinion. It's all targeted. You know,
everything has got to be this way. It's got to be that was all
knee jerk. It's unbelievable to me. And then these guys have
moaning and groaning about losing their jobs. Yeah, well,
how about how about you just taking it and we're talking
about something else I'm
waiting for. And it is possible it could happen. I'm waiting for
the first bailout of a newspaper. You watch that's how
crazy this world has become. The government will bail out even
though that will be unconstitutional. It's gonna
happen. Constitutional. I'm sorry. Yeah, it has to be
unconstitutional. Yeah.
Like like the Constitution means anything. These ones they bail
out the Catholic Church.
Still no. No extra reporting on Baxter International.
Oh, yeah. There we go. There's another thing. Where's these are
these stories? I think there was one story and MSNBC had somebody
send us the link or you sent it to me.
Yeah, the vaccine International, which purposely mixed up flu
vaccination with bird flu virus and they have now admitted it
was a live virus.
Yeah, so they had mixed up the regular flu Vax vaccine with a
live bird flu virus. And coincidentally, this is the only
company that has a vaccine for bird flu.
No, no, it's not the only company I've got what's
one of the companies that has a stockpile of bird fan
deals, deals in place billions of dollars a deal, but you've
got to infect the public. Yeah,
otherwise you can't sell it.
Bird Flu doesn't seem to be catching on.
No, it's the meme is not traveling fast enough yet.
There's the, you know, just on on inoculations in general or
this HPV thing that some great lengths including finally Katie
Couric did a did a I would say a reasonable report although it
doesn't really get into the the true shit behind it about HPV
and you see these kids are getting fucked, man. They
they're in hospital beds, they can't walk. They can't. They're
paralyzed. It's crazy. And now they want to come out with the
shot that fixes hay fever forever. There's gonna be a shot
for everything. Oh, yeah. needs it. Yeah, well, you need it. You
need it. John. You need your hay fever shot. Don't you want to be
safe? Hay fever forever? Yeah. Let me just go grab the article.
It was well, I missed that one. Yeah, it's in the Daily Mail. At
jet Oh, it's this is even better. I love these guys.
They're so smart. A jab to end the misery of hay fever could be
available within just two years. The vaccine requires four
injections over a three week period.
Do you know it's not a vaccine? Okay, nevermind, no, please
hit me because this is exactly what
a vaccine imply. You know that there's a there's a disease that
is curing. This is not a disease and allergy. The implication of
a vaccine is that it cures a disease you're gonna get you
know, or some sort of an ailment that that is that is born of
viruses or bacteria. The therapy works for fever is not born of
viruses or bacteria. It's from pollens.
Check it out. The therapy works by triggering a good immune
reaction to counter the allergic response that occurs when hay
fever sufferers reject pollen as foreign. I think the only thing
good about it if you want to know the why is you know, they
just get more mercury into you more formaldehyde and probably
some RFID chip dust in there just for good measure so we can
track your ass. That's what that's what's happened in there.
But the Katie Couric thing is good, because you can you know,
when people say oh, that's bullshit, man. You can just take
a look at it. Other news, which I would I immediately believe
from the telegraph people with higher IQs live longer. This is
good news.
It's because the left and right before crossing the street. You
know how many Americans are plowed into by cars in England?
Yeah, you know many how many stoned Americans get run over by
trams and Amsterdam? Exam Exactly. Ties. Ron Paul's
Congressman Ron Paul's bill to audit the Federal Reserve has 28
co sponsors. We're getting some traction. That would be really
fun to watch, wouldn't it?
Yeah, never gonna happen course.
HR 1207. Go ahead. Call your congress, man or woman.
Or you're on the southern edge of Ron Paul. I have a story here
that we ran.
Now is this about Ron Paul supporters are terrorists. Yeah,
yeah, go ahead. That's a good one.
All right, this is in the blog divert.org/blog And you can go
to the blog, slash and a you can contribute to the no agenda show
please do. Okay, I'm just gonna read this to you. A new document
meant to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify
militia members or domestic terrorist has drawn criticism
from some and some I'm sorry, I'm trying to read into the
sunlight here has drawn criticism for some of the
warning signs mentioned. Apparently, according to this
report, modern militia movement mentioned such red flags as
political bumper stickers for third party candidates such as
US Representative Ron Paul, who ran for president last year.
Anyone who talks of conspiracy theories that's a red flag, such
as the end that includes the plan for the superhighway
linking Canada to Mexico, and also a possession of subversive
literature, whatever that means. So
now what are we gonna do burn books next?
i The whole thing is ridiculous. And the thing is, is I'm
surprised that they're not right there.
Yeah, really. We will get harassed dude, but it comes in
different ways. It's usually IRS. They do that with me all
the time. Let's just stick the IRS on this fucker.
Because they already like I already had our run into the
IRS. It's like it bothers
me. I'm done. 50 grand a year in trouble hide. There you go.
So what's another reason we need more more money
to pay the fines?
But the fact that Ron I'm surprised Ron Paul as income
About about, you know, mentioning something like, you
know, this is like just a front. I mean, like you can't have a
third party candidate, you're a terrorist. Yep.
And if you have some Versiv literature, what was it? If you
talk about conspiracy theories, this is outrageous. You know
that that's confirmed now that the troops in Alabama that they
were deployed, but they don't know who deployed them
after the shooting? Oh, yeah,
yeah, it's been confirmed Yeah, then but the troops so here's
the with the police commissioner says, hey, you know, I didn't
call them in but they came anyway and was really good
because they helped deal with traffic.
Well, at least this makes them useful. Okay, you take that
corner and you direct traffic. It's illegal, dude. It's
illegal. Yeah, no, it's totally illegal. But they think it was
bush or somebody who passed some sort of a major that quasi
legalized it
No, as long as long as, as the press of the president says,
Okay, this is a because what they changed was the term so it
can be any terrorist act any act of God or anything that's that
we consider fucked up. We can call in the army. That's
basically what they did. So when a weird
is that guy goes off and shoots a bunch of people and shoots
himself. So what do you need the army for?
To direct traffic? It's just to get you used to it, man. That's
what it's about. Just to get you used to it.
Well, hopefully Ron Paul, himself will take action against
this kind of thing.
I think there's something else kind of weird that's going on
these you know, they're these tea parties that we kind of
started with the CNBC dude, what's his name?
I don't know who Yeah, the
guy who went off the Kramer. No, no, no, no, the guy went off
about the losers. And oh, that sounds silly. Yeah. So this,
this whole Tea Party thing kind of started but I
I questioned that. I didn't know anything about this. Tell me.
Well, so
he called for the like, do a Boston Tea Party only do it. Tax
Day tea party? You know, basically little protests. But
it does. I'm not quite sure I can't put my finger on it. But
it doesn't feel right. It feels like kind of a disinfo thing.
I'm not quite sure.
Yeah. So yeah, it's in a trap in trackmate. The final article who
would go along with this hideous idiots ideas, and then you get
take their names, and put them on a terrorist watch list. You
got to watch people closely.
For our Australian listeners, and we have quite a few of them
in the Land Down Under and a very happy WikiLeaks got a hold
of the secret Australian black list of banned websites.
That was that Australia, Austria,
Australia. Okay, yeah, no, we have we most of our Austrian
listeners are underground. They're in the cellar with the
family. They don't have time. And so the the go to the link in
the show notes, of course, but on this list, and this, of
course, is to protect the children so that the entire
country cannot access illegal websites, which would probably
include hookers, but also includes online poker sites
fetish satanic Christian sites, Wikipedia pages, gay, straight
pornography, a travel operator and even the website for a
Queensland dentist. This is what's going on down under, you
know, it's crazy for anyone to think they can actually filter
the internet. I mean, for for all, unless we all physically
say, Okay, I'll take this pipe instead of that pipe. It just
won't happen. You can't filter it.
No, but you can make it for some time. I don't care. I mean,
there's a lot of people out there, you know, you always
think Well, I can always get this information because I know
how the internet works. I can use a proxy server, I can run it
through a Tor network and through an onion, and I'm at the
other end and someplace in the middle of it and we're
all going to help each other like that. If it comes to that.
We will if it comes to it, we'll string all of our Wi Fi boxes
together and create a mesh network if it comes to it, if it
comes to it,
but most people my point is, is most people don't care. You
know, so they can't get that dentist website, you know, and
they can't get you know, some Christian website. So what I
mean they don't care. They're looking they're Googling
something about knitting.
About the nice Richardson now not Denise has no name. No. name
is Liam Neeson, his wife. Yeah,
that was a horrible story. Horrible. Yeah, I saw I thought
it was creepy. And I pointed out on Twitter and abajo. And how is
it creepy? It's creepy because this woman takes a little spill
and the next thing you know she's dead
on like a beginner slope. Yeah, hold on a second. We missed the
Mr. Q. And now back to real. So how about that Richardson? Huh?
Yeah, it's terrible. My wife pointed something out. That is,
why didn't they make sure that because she died in, you know,
the right age and everything to donate all her organs? Because
there would have been you know, they're perfect to do
when I die, I'm not giving away my organs.
Well, the organs aren't gonna be worth my show. Thanks.
Let me know. Give me your heart. Give me your heart. No, no, no,
you just got to burn me and smoke me
onto what other news we got here.
But I don't know it was I got some a couple of things. But did
you take any notes?
Yeah, it was good. What do you think I've been going through
here, but you don't want to talk about any of this stuff.
All right. I want to talk about active because we have some new
info on ACTA.
Yes, that's what I want to talk about. Okay.
Actor is of course the what does the acronym actor stand for?
American Center for tits and ass
Advisory Committee on intellectual property rights.
That doesn't sound right. To hell is it mean? Anyway? So we
discussed on the last show, this is a New World Global
Intellectual Property Rights agreement. And the documents the
actual agreement has been classified as top secret cannot
be obtained through Freedom of Information request through our
transparent government. Because it is, quote a matter of
national security. However, there are a number of
organizations who who do have the documents, and they are on
the advisory committee. Let me just tell you a couple of these
organizations names and it might become clear why this is all a
big secret. So I don't know that. Well. Obviously, the
intellectual property Alliance. I don't know the Gorlin group. I
do know Time Warner. Yeah. I do know, Cisco. I do know Eli Lilly
and Company that would be a drug company. The US China Business
Council Anheuser Busch the beer people now owned by Belgians.
What are they doing on this list? Well, dude,
the secret to a good beer should be protected. That is national
security. I don't give a shit what you say. Because otherwise
you get that stuff made with rice. But the best one I would
have to say is Monsanto. That was kind of my thoughts kind of
my favorite company who's the whole list by the way, which is
about 20 or 30 Different names CropLife America Dow Chemical
I'm sure this somehow has to do you know all of the all of the
all medicine has a patent life just like music, I'm sure
they're going to change these worldwide so that you know the
you do not have a choice and you have to pay for very expensive
medicine basically made from natural stuff. And your food is
patented and trademarked through Monsanto. So when when they
forbid you from growing stuff through the new new organic food
act, then you can only buy your seeds from Monsanto or pre
approved seeds and you'll have to pay for them every single
year a royalty kind of like a subscription service to food.
You'll be licensing your food. Yeah,
exactly. Can I license half a chicken and some tomatoes? So
this is this is of all of the things that are irksome. This
one really really pisses me off. And I'm hoping the guys that
WikiLeaks or someone will just get these documents we just need
to publish them because I'm sure with all the shrouded secrecy
that surrounds them that they're up to no good with that.
Yeah, well, it's pretty obvious are up to no good. So back to
real news. take so long. And now you gotta have a fun gift yet
copy of that. I
got to set up the button. You're right.
Looks like and Sophie pick was awarded the maximum three stars
in the new Michelin Guide and she's the fourth woman in
history to ever win the honor.
And she cooks. She's a chef in
Adler Mason pick in southeastern France in the town of valance
advanced a I'm not sure.
So we need to visit there. I think we need to do a little
rocky.
Yes, I think that we should go to southeastern France and have
some of her sea bass. A specialist in fish. Her
signature dishes include sea bass caught In coastal waters
and steamed over what CAMI kelp served with a good lardo oyster
bonbons, cucumber chutney and vodka and lemon butter sauce.
Speaking of which, Patricia is in in Holland for two days doing
PR for the for the new series of shows. And so the doorbell rings
and it's a guy with a heavy in northern accent UK northern
accent. It's like you want to buy some fish. And we don't have
a fish market nearby and I'm like yeah, I love it here. We
get door to door guys all the time. You know we have a real
milkman who delivers the milk in the morning you know and then
takes the empty bottles the old way like good times. So again,
tell me it's I get to talk to these guys. And two guys, they
got a boat each that go out for two days and they go up all the
way up off the coast of Scotland and then they come back and then
they go sell it for two days. And like you know dude, you're
kind of out of luck because you know the lady of the house
really does all these types of purchases. Let me let me see
what you got. John they had the it was literally because they
don't they only come by once every two months here and in
London because you know they're they're hours away up north. God
I bought Dover soul sea bass salmon. I bought 10 kilos worth
of fish and put it in the freezer. But it was it was it
was right out of the sea man which is an odd smell. You know
it smelled like like real fish you know not Stiva just oh is it
was
too stinky if it's fresh and yeah so
and I said these guys you know sometimes business he says it's
so shit I said well, you people don't want to buy says no, no
people want to buy. But I'm coming back with half the amount
of fish I used to. It's just gone. There's just no more fish.
Well, it's a cycle. So
yeah, it's an 80 year cycle. Unfortunately, my children and
my grandchildren will not eat fish, but it's a cycle of
fish. Monsanto's poisoning waters.
They can have some Monsanto fish with two heads.
Three eyes. Yeah,
it's amazing. But these people got bird flu from eating fish.
How is it possible?
You know, the funny thing is, you know the Simpsons used to
have a fish. pet fish called Blinky on the show for the first
I don't know it's five or six seasons and it was a three eyed
fish that was caught outside of the nuclear facility run by Mr.
Burns. Yes, of course. Excellent. Smith. And so this is
a this fish. The three eyed fish. They got so much
apparently Fox got so much flak from the one of the agencies
that you know that they regulates these power plants
about this, about this fish that they dropped them from the show.
Oh, wow. That's how it works in mainstream media.
Because they keep harassing harassing commodity fish. You
know, they go out and you know, having dinner with Murdoch. Hey,
Rupert, how you doing now? Pretty good. Hey, man. Hey,
let's picking up this check. Well, you might as well because
we're losing all our money because of that three, eight
fish you keep putting on the air.
Oh, all right. I just want to wind it up with a big fail
moment. from Gitmo nation East which was just too funny. You
know, we have a new police chief, the new big man on campus
because Boris Johnson came in and said to the to the to the
police chief that we had, he said, You know what, I don't
like you, you should leave, literally. So this is how he
left. So the new guys in and they did a huge Dawn Raid with
helicopters at 80 police officers and they bust down the
door to catch the villain. And he'd been arrested two days
earlier. On some minor charge, he was already in jail. And
these guys are busted down the door with a helicopter. Yeah,
exactly. Man Alright, you got any final words so we can get
out of here.
Know about the end of April, two of us hoped to meet up in
Amsterdam on Queen's Day and I'm in the process of getting hold
of the guy who is the head of go Miios Holland operation. The
reviewers similar to Michelin,
I think I have kind of maybe bad news about that.
Oh, you're not gonna make it.
I think I think we might have a board meeting scheduled for
April 30.
So you won't be making it I'll be hanging out with the head of
the GOMI yo and a bunch of people that probably some of the
finest restaurants in in Holland we can find.
I think I might have to do this board meeting via telephonic
conference. Perhaps from my favorite coffee shop.
So, just thought you should know. All right.
Thank you very much. It's highly appreciated. All right, here we
go. Yes. Dude. I got through just about everything.
Yeah, I'm looking around here I only had a few other things I
went to a big wine tasting the other day. Oh do Bordeaux wines.
They had all these Bordeaux these guys these guys I don't
know how they can afford it but they flew all these small
vendors are small winery guys over to San Francisco. I guess
they did this New York two to four with 100 different, you
know, inexpensive, cheap Bordeaux's to see if we can you
know, they can get some interest in some of these obscure
wineries. It's actually quite interesting, too, but it?
Can I give you a quote that hopefully will be used in
associate with association with my name for many, many years to
come. Okay, well, I was thinking, you know, everyone
laughs about Bill Gates, who said 640k should be enough to
run any computer program you want is that the exact quote?
I did exactly was some. Here's the story. You want to hear the
word? Yeah, of course. Go ahead. It says 640 K ought to be enough
for anyone is what is the quote. And Bill, if you ask him
nowadays, he denies this. They said that he's ever said it. And
I'm reminded him when I worked at the San Francisco Examiner,
there's a story that is going around that. And by the way, we
can't find any evidence that you set up newspaper or anyplace
else that bill actually said this. So I'm reminded of the
story that goes around or what used to go around the San
Francisco Examiner newsroom, which is that the day before
Marilyn Monroe was killed, apparently Bobby Kennedy was in
San Francisco, and there's a bunch of photos of him that are
missing, right be ended up missing from the photo archives
of the newspaper. And there's no proof that Bobby Kennedy was
ever in town, which, as always led me to believe that Bill
Gates somehow killed Marilyn Monroe,
and that Bobby Kennedy said 640k should be enough for anyone.
That's a possibility. Well, I'm
going to tell you that you should be able to control the
world with 140 characters. Twitter is the new command line.
It's back and people know how to use it.
Well, I hope they appreciate what you're up to here with our
automated radio station.
I hope so too. Well, the good news is the feedback just
listened to the to the station and then all I hear if people
like it or not
tweet, well, you're gonna get a lot of that. Well, yeah.
Yeah, we could do eventually, if it really gets out of control.
We can make it only if if we follow you. So we could have
approved people. I mean, there's all different ways, but you
could have a parser. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we still need to get that.
We need the butler for the library who can write the
parsing programs all day long?
Well, there's a guy out there that would love to write a
parser for a Twitter feed.
Well, I already but I already wrote one. I don't mind the cuss
words. It's funny when you hear the voice saying,
okay. What's the web? I'm sorry? What's the website? Again, I go
to to put a message and
all you have to do is just Twitter. No agenda stream?
No agenda stream?
Yeah. And it'll read out your name. And obviously, you know, I
tried to filter out stuff like URLs and stuff. So because that
just sounds lame. Someone's reading HTTP calls.
Yeah, that's no good. So I'm, I'm filtering those out, put
some stuff in and listen
to it. No, agenda. stream.com is where you can hear some great
music, Real News, and your comments and feedback. And I'll
keep improving on that stuff. And we're gonna run into a
couple problems. But we'll talk about a Sunday. I can't do
Thursday. So I've got to do it next Wednesday. I think if
that's possible for you. Yeah. Okay. We don't have an all hands
meeting, do we?
Oh, we probably do. But I think there's a good excuse to not go.
That's right. We have to say excuse me, we're saving the
world. You're doing what? an all hands meeting, okay. We're
saving humanity, making the world a better place for our
children.
Or something like that. So what's going on Thursday?
We have a big UK producer meeting, Moody's flying out.
It's gonna be a full day. It's gonna be fun. Okay. Channel
dvorak.com.
Yeah, channel diboride.com. And also go to dvorak.org/n. A, and
help out the DIS podcast.
And also, would it kill you to tell a friend? And if you don't,
we need more. We already? Yeah, this probably everybody who
listens to the show must have at least one friend who would enjoy
this show because
we have real news about hot pregnant vegetarian vegan
chicks. Yeah, can't go wrong. Can't go Can't go wrong. In
fact,
I should make the album art. Alright, John, thanks a lot,
man. Good talking to you. Coming to you from Gitmo nation East
and South West London. I'm Adam curry,
