Why would they not be our lap dogs? They've been our lap dogs
is Tony Blair. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, September 5 2013. Time for your
gizmo nation media assassination episode 545. This is no agenda.
It's all about the gas here in the travel sites hide up capital
the drone Star State Austin take house in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry, and for
the others Silicon Valley where I'm reading the tweet of
democracy now saying that war mongering is headed for a
defeat. I'm John C. Dvorak.
They're actually saying war mongering is headed for defeat
or war mongers or are headed for defeat,
says war mongering and the military industrial complex are
headed for an historic defeat in the house.
Oh, really? Wow. This is News. Breaking news.
Yeah, this just gets his two tweets ago.
Well, well, well, I've I've done some thinking about all of this
breaking tweets two minutes ago, you realize that by the time
people listen to this show, and there's some people who are
still listening to Episode 490? I'm not kidding. I
wish they would. You know, I've said this before, and I'll say
it again. Should I say it again? Yes, please do. Listen to the
current show. Go back if you want to entertain yourself, but
get read, listen to the current show. And then kind of feed
yourself older shows don't Don't, don't change. It's like,
pretending nothing happened.
La La, la, la, la, la, la la. Nothing's going on. That's true.
You should listen to the current episode. But then, you know, use
older episodes as a tasty snack. Yeah, when you have a moment for
yourself. Now I got an email from one of our producers who
lives in I guess we've always been pronouncing wrong. Espo we
always say as poo. I say as poem. not believe me? You don't?
Yeah. Okay. Espo. And, and he's like, I'm on episode 490
something. All right, dude, we might actually be talking about
you today. You don't want to hear about it. I mean, that's
200 200 hours ago.
Yeah. And then the worst part is if you actually have something
to contribute, which we expect from our producer, we
we might be dead by the time you send us an email. Yes. Oh, you
know, I heard this in that way. We're long gone. You know, try
to just skip the old shows. It's not important.
I think I have I think I've figured out another piece of the
metal puzzle, which I want to talk about today. And it kind of
fell into my lap actually kind of accidentally, but if we just
look at the news that everyone looks to us turns to us.
Foolishly I might add to dissect.
Oh, they don't turn foolishly. What kind of a thing is that to
say?
Well, you didn't Did you just think to yourself? I Kareo get
it all? No, I'm looking at your clips. I mean, there was eight
hours of and I taught Mickey this term. She'd never heard of
it dog and pony show on C span over the past couple days. Yeah,
that's an Americanism dog and pony show it's not everyone
understands this but where does that come from? Town fairs and
carnivals John the expression dog and pony
show dog and pony shows and it's considered just A an act you
know just kind of a can to act
like kind of like a show and everyone goes and likely shows
that they put on in Silicon Valley when the venture
capitalists go out pushing their their their packages is a dog
and pony show
or when when startups who have you know the next Twitter meets
Foursquare meets Facebook, they go around to the venture
capitalist where their dog and pony show exactly. Okay, so we
don't have a dog and pony show. But I do have a ton of clips.
That I I mean, just some really interesting ones that kind of
lead into where we're at. And, I mean, I don't even know where to
start really. Well, I can start with a couple of clips. I get us
get us rolling. Well right, shall I?
Okay, first of all, I found there's some new terms showing.
Right? We'd already identified international norm and
punishment.
Punishment. Well this new they just this guy that I've been
track kind of track backtracking. This guy named
Tony Blinken.
Is that the guy with the big head?
No, no, I don't think so. Okay, he's the Assistant Deputy the
National Security Council or something he works for Susan
Rice. Oh, and he seems to be out there as the guy the go to guy
and I have a bunch of clips of him which may lead into your
clips Okay, better than your clips will leave your own clips
because it makes no
sense. Because I can't lead into my clips with my clips. I need a
clip
that's the problem. So Fine. Let's start off with he showed
up on the on the News Hour. And he had hidden he's obviously a
stooge he married when you can look his wife up who's got
mortgage like and there's this this all gov website that tells
you everything about everyone. This guy's not even. But his
wife Stop,
stop right there. You are now officially cutting out bad.
Yeah. Are you sure no one's home. No one's doing anything.
There's not a person here. Everyone's working. Yeah. And
did they
all turn it off before they left? Well. All right. Well keep
it seems to be okay. Now, so we'll keep going. So, Tony
Blinken, who looks like he's seems like a picture of him.
Yeah, I'm looking at his we have no idea how tall he is. Of
course, you know, I think that he's about my age. I just never
included on the Did he go to Columbia Law School with the
President. He might
know it may be but he's not. Yeah. Did you check his age as
possible?
He's 51. He's the same age as the president.
Yeah, they maybe they ran into each other whatever the case is.
He was part of the team all along. And then they he married
a woman who I believe if you take a look at a picture of her.
She looks and she's lives in Alexandria.
We got to stop. We got to stop.
And so we're back.
It's magic. It's that is editing on the fly people. All right,
Tony Blinken.
Yeah, Blink is married to some woman if you can get a name
again. Her name.
Her name is. I got it here. Evan Ryan, and you sent me a show
note about her as well didn't Yeah,
we'll look at the show notes and get a picture of her and she's
from Alan. Just remember, she's from Virginia. And I believe he
she
just got spooked. She's from a spook family is what it looks
like.
Yeah. And she has the look. And he doesn't. Okay, to say the
least. And she, they just got married. Like when he got that
job. They got married, like, so I just think that she's watching
him. And so this guy is a spokes hole for the I don't know.
He's one. Yeah, he's the deputy. Hold on a second. I got it here
for you. This is security deputy national national security
adviser. Exactly.
So he's got no experience that I can tell in national security
whatsoever. But that's okay. Who needs experience if you're in
this White House? So he and by the way, he has this interesting
little habit. He's on the PBS NewsHour and Judy Woodruff every
time she asked him a question he like asked me a question. Just
ask the simple question. What do I have for coffee? Hey, John,
what
do you kind of coffee do you have?
Well, Adam, I have coffee made in Colombia. Every time he asked
a question is always Well, Judy,
unlike so it Beisel,
just say so. But he always says yes. Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy. And
it was like it's really annoying, because he does it all
the time. And he never really answers any questions. He is
just a kind of a stooge. So put plate we this is the
introduction of the guy. And this is in the middle of a
conversation. They started Judy and Blinken. But they blink in
part zero
final question. Oh,
wait, is this? No, I'm sorry. Part of Linkin Park zero. I got
it. I got it. I gotta get it. I missed it. Sorry. Got it. We
hear
Senators McCain and Graham saying in their conversation
with the President. He's talking about degrading the capabilities
of the Assad regime. That's going a step farther, isn't it?
What does that mean to degrade? So Judy, there are two things
going on here that are important to understand. First, with
regard to the underlying conflict in Syria, there's been
a civil war going on, as you know, and we've been working
very hard to end that war. And we think the best way to do it
is through a negotiated transition that moves Assad out
through a political process. In order to do that, we've got to
get him to the negotiating table. And that involves in
part, putting the pressure on him, isolating him and building
up the opposition, which we've been doing over the in recent
months.
Interesting. This is a recent interview that he did yesterday.
So he is right online with what a couple other people are saying
about a political approach instead of a war approach.
Well, there's a lot of talking points in this guy's jibber
jabber
jibber jabber, you say,
but the thing that I got the next clip which is not tight
because it was the first clip and then I had the the I didn't
realize there were gonna be a bunch of clips about blink and
this one has no blink and let me see new PBS 220. No, no part two
is actually part two diag looking for part one. There it
is. This is the new buzzword. I find it's lethal aid. Now when
he when he blew this one out, I said, this is News.
He's also going to learn that things that are important to him
militarily are at risk and that can have the effect of
convincing him that he needs to know sociate an end to the
underlying conflict as well. Well, in terms of helping the
rebels, we know there was a very prominent news report yesterday
that help or military lethal aid had not yet reached the
opposition. Now we're hearing that it may be close to reach in
the opposition. Can you tell us whether it has at this point?
And if not, is it about to? So Judy, a number of countries have
been providing assistance to the opposition, including the United
States. And some months ago, you'll recall that when our
intelligence community concluded initially that Assad had been
using on a small scale chemical weapons over the past year, the
President said that we would be increasing our support to the
opposition. And we've spent some time putting in place an effort
to do just that. And what I can tell you now, without detailing
any of the support is that we have moved out on that. So
lethal aid has reached the opposition is reaching it now.
So Judy, what I can say is without detailing the kind of we
have significantly increased the assistance that is getting to
the opposition.
Okay, good. Let me let me roll in here. This is a perfect
point.
So So Judy, is what he says, yeah, no, he uses both so
and so it'd be better if you went so well, Judy. In fact, I'm
gonna use that at home when I talked to Mickey so Well, Judy,
let me ask you a question about dinner. Okay, let me wrote now I
want to roll in because you actually have taken it a step
further. There's a lot of people who count on us, you know, to
watch the C span, get the moments let them know what's
happening. So we can and this is all every single bit a bit of it
is facade is show is dog and pony, as we discussed earlier,
and it will come back into Tony Blinken. He's clearly a newbie.
Yeah, that mean he's he's he's gone. He's this is not what he
should be saying. So let me show you how it's done. Now, here it
is. So we're gonna go straight to broth. Broth, Windsor, and he
has Debbie Wasserman Schultz on. And, man, she put on a
performance. I didn't know this. Of course, she is not only a
congresswoman from Florida. She is also the issue, not the chair
of the of the whole Democrat Party. She's like the head
honcho. The
she's one. No, she's the big party give her yeah,
she throws party that's for sure. And she's on with broth.
And this is how you talk about other countries being involved
in going to help other countries do it?
Well, there are other countries. I mean, we have from the
briefings that I've received, there are dozens of countries
we're going to stand with the
dozens would mean it least at least 48.
Right? would mean at least 2424 4836.
Do you think that should be 36? Should should be okay. 36
added states who will engage with us?
By the way 48 Makes no sense in any multiple of sorry, I didn't
Mickey
like that. No, it does. 24 is it's four doesn't.
Yeah, you know what we're getting Skype is telling me
we're getting a preventable Hold on. Auto preventable. Mike
overload is the error that I'm getting primer.
I'm over. I think you're over modulating. Yeah. Let me fix
that.
That's, I like the auto preventable mic overload. Yeah,
they won't let you that's a title by the way.
I'm gonna say it's too long. Okay, it's gone. Now. Kick them
out because I'm talking lightly
but is it me that's doing the auto the overload now have me
on here. I'm going to image I have I'm now checked out of auto
box. So I should not
okay, so All right. So nothing wrong. It's still popping up and
maybe I should check the auto box.
Check the auto box on.
I don't I don't want to get in trouble. Oh, boy. That's really
bad now. There's audio setting. Okay. Save. Alright, you saved
as well. Did you save?
I just did now. Okay. Auto preventable. Mic overload.
All right. Well, let's continue. Good. So yeah, so I was gonna
say I had a rough 48 hours, and Mickey helped me celebrate my
birthday for two days straight.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Shall I tell you one thing that's interesting. Russian
hookers are the best because they know when to leave
and military action and also that Baca stop
which countries or which countries will use their
military power to attack targets inside Syria?
And that's honestly something well, if I'm not at liberty to
say I mean, some of what I've learned is classified as
unclassified
of the of the dozens of countries it's classified. You
can't mention a one i
What I can tell you is that there are many nations who have
who have committed to support the United States in our action,
militarily. And that's and that's going to be important.
And you're saying militarily not just politically, or vocally,
but militarily, they will support the United States
pushing teams, their own missiles, their firepower,
who has F 16 has their own missiles, their own firepower
that's going to join in and target Syria.
In both military and diplomatic and political support, there are
dozens of nations who have committed to back us up
lovely, lovely, lovely, now, that was the okay all right,
good cheeses pro she knows how to improve was pushing, I was
quite proud
of what's right. Don't think the media sick of his own crowd.
Okay, so here, now she's gonna do something. Now this is this
is really fantastic. Because you know, the idea of the dog and
pony show for some kind of intervention, some kind of
military intervention in Syria, or off the coast of Syria, the
whole idea is, you know, this, this breaking an international
norm need to be punished for gassing their own people killing
children, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz hasn't just, I am, I am
so in awe of her pulling, not just a Jew card, but a mom Jew
card, this was very, very, very good
that we respond to atrocities and exercise the moral
leadership that the United States has always led with. And
for me as a as a mother, you know, to see that searing image
of babies lined up, murdered by their own government, innocent
children. I mean, as as a Jew, Wolf, I have to tell you, as a
member of Congress, who represents one of the largest
Holocaust survivor populations in the country, to me, the
concept of never again has to mean something. And the United
States morally, cannot turn the other cheek. Too many leaders
regretted that decision. But how
awesome is that? That was terrific. I'm like, I'm in awe.
And by the way to say she represents the largest Holocaust
survivor group in which they pop community or population. I mean,
there's in all of the United States 120,000, by the numbers
that I could find Holocaust survivors, and they're all 80 or
90, you know, so in Florida itself, it's got to be, you
know, a 10th of that. It's like, you know, if we truly want to
talk about the Holocaust survivors, where's the Dutch
contingent? You know, how come they're not all up in arms about
never again, I mean, come on, know what that was like. Wow.
Anyway, in awe of, of what she was able to do there.
That was great. That's a lot better than Blinken. And then we
have
to, of course, Ron Paul somehow. And, you know, they're so
desperate to get any any kind of controversy going. But it has to
stay within limits, obviously. And Ron Paul, who does his own
interview shows these days, which is
kind of excited to go into competition with us. Yeah, I'm
not too happy about that. Like, come on, Ron, you're a great
guest. I, although he went too far with broth. And well, broth
did what he always does and
could easily spread, but who created who he created a rack we
did as our country, and now they're aligned with the
Iranians. So the whole theory is that we're going into Syria
because that's the way you march into Iran. At the same time,
we've made it tougher we've made it tougher for Israel, we've
made it tougher for for All right, here's the director going
want to live in peace rah rah, cut them off. We're all stirring
up in Syria. It's a civil war. We don't have the authority and
the vote. Vote in a parliament that is fantastic. First time
since we are getting
in charge I gotta wrap it up but
I just want to clarify one point you're not blaming the United
States for the civil war in Syria the over the past two and
a half years that have already resulted more than 100,000
people dead
think we just lost Ron Paul on satellite but well, we'll have
him back for sure. Joining us
you can see the screen he's in a in a in a try box and the minute
broth cuts him off his box goes blue satellite like a
disconnected Seagull just blue just like frog just get rid of
it.
I always think it'd be fun you have bars?
Well they didn't That's what I said that they should have done
bars. They didn't know what to do with like,
oh my god beeping sound and then some channel number not the
bottom the
guy's making sense. Stop him stop and we can't have this.
Alright, so then there was all kinds of funny stuff going on.
Outside of the White House outside of the classified
Meeting because there was a classified meeting, you see,
where the people flew in from all over the country to get the
classified information that proves for fact science, no
doubt about it, that they have high confidence that that sarin
gas was used. And Nancy Pelosi, she just I mean, just make no
qualms about it.
I am hopeful as the American people are persuaded that this
action happened.
What? You're hopeful that the American people are persuaded
that this action happened. Now that kind of sums it up, doesn't
it? Cheese and then
ghoulish the way she puts it,
but she couldn't think she could have done a mom do card instead,
she did the granny card.
And then I really do have to go. My five year old grandson was
leaving San Francisco yesterday and said to me, me, me. Me, me.
Me, me. Me, me.
It's just find that odd.
Yes. I found that odd and somewhat disturbing. Code.
war with Syria. Yes. What was Syria? No. What was Syria? No,
it's five years. And wars thing war. I mean, we're not talking
about war. We're talking about inaction. Yes. For Syria, no one
what? I said, Well, what do you think? He said, I think no war?
I said, Well, I generally agree with that. But you know, they've
killed hundreds of children, their job killed hundreds of
children. And he said five years old. Were these children in the
United States? No, but their children wherever they aren't.
She and she goes on for another minute with a story that goes
nowhere other than apparently, the five year old kid did want
the bombs dropped or something.
Oh, it's all it's all about. She was insane. That was yeah, that
was completely insane. But then we have men that Menendez Mendez
man. And I think it's Menendez. Yeah, who was chairing this
special session. Now this is all part of the cover, you see. And
I'm going to get to this probably in about 15 minutes.
But it's all part of the cover, because the President now is
already on his way. He's off to Europe. And of course, the G 20
is a big deal that's coming up. And that kind of plays into all
of this. And Menendez is very obvious. What the next eight
hours of spread over two days was going to be when you hear
his opener, let
me say before I turn to Senator Corker for his opening
statement, the President is asking for an authorization for
the use of limited force. It is not his intention or ours to
involve ourselves fully in serious civil war. What is
before us is a request and I quote, to prevent or deter the
use or proliferation of chemical or biological weapons within to
or from Syria, and to protect the United States and its allies
and partners against the threat posed by such weapons. This is
not a declaration of war, but a declaration of our values to the
world.
Oh, okay. Just want to make sure I got it straight.
Before we go into this than that. And I do have to go back
to the good material. Okay, because there's a because he was
again, besides telling us that there that we the US of A are
providing lethal aid to the rebels, brings up a couple more
other TV reveals in another couple of things that I think
are kind of overlooked and I'm sure weren't covered. They
weren't covered overtly in these discussions that you have the
recordings of. So let's play Blinken. Part two.
Okay, come on. Blinken.
How long do you think any campaign strike against the
Assad regime will take the reason I asked Tony Blinken as
we know, and in striking Kosovo, you know, many years ago, the
the Clinton administration spoke about it lasting a few days, it
went on for something like 72 days. How once something like
this gets started, how do you know you can put an end to it?
Judy, it's really important that people understand what this is
and what this isn't. And it's understandable that people have
concerns about this being some kind of open ended potential
action. It is not. The reason people tend to have that as an
initial reaction is they are looking at this through the
frame of the last decade of war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan,
hundreds of 1000s of American troops committed Well, what this
is, is a very targeted, very focused time limited action to
deter Assad from using chemical weapons again, and to make it
harder for him to do so. What it is not is open ended. It is not
boots on the ground. It is not Iraq. It is not Afghanistan.
It's not Kosovo. It's not even Libya. I can't put be any more
precise than that. But it is a very limited targeted action but
an effective one to deal with the use of chemical weapons. Hmm
Okay,
yeah, by the way, do watch her on this particular interview.
She has the most weird look on her face. Like she's talking to
a man who's insane.
But Judy has kind of a weird look about it. Yeah,
but but not this weird. She's just weird looking. But you know
she did this was like her face was scrunched up like, Are you
kidding me when my eyes will play the last part, which is the
talking points which I believe you'll have parts of or we'll
hear more of. But here this part three of this character, I
believe are the talking points that have played out this entire
segment of the show.
And is the administration prepared for unintended
consequences a Syrian Foreign Minister is saying today,
there's no way of knowing what will be the repercussions of a
US strike, he talks about Syria striking back at Turkey at
Israel and at Lebanon, if the US hits his country, we're very
well prepared. We know that he actually risks any action can
have unintended consequences, we do a lot of work to make sure we
anticipate what those might be, and to take steps to mitigate
them. But we also believe fundamentally, that not acting
would have far greater and far graver consequences. If we don't
act to enforce a norm against the use of chemical weapons
that's been around for nearly 100 years that our Congress has
gotten strongly behind. Over the last decade. If we don't do that
Assad will conclude that he can use these weapons again, with
impunity, other countries in the region and beyond who have such
weapons or aspire to get them will also conclude that they can
acquire them and use them with impunity that would do terrible
damage to our security and to the security of countries around
the world. So they're always dangerous and acting, we work to
mitigate them. They're far greater dangers and not acting.
That's the main talking point. I believe that they're going to
promote. Yeah, and
the and I want to let everyone act the word impunity, which is
another one of those little memes that we didn't touch on
impunity means without repercussion. So if if a child
is allowed to take candy from the candy jar without being
punished, that is with impunity. Just one of those things where
words matter, because you hear it over and over and over again.
And a certain point you don't even know what it means anymore.
So yeah, so this is this is true. In fact, this did come up
in the in the hearing, this is where watermelon had carry AX,
and I'm sorry, he has a huge head.
And by the way, did you see the I don't know if I have a clip of
this. But did you see the women in the back with the red hands?
Well, yeah, and that was and this this is when this happened.
With the red hand. I mean, I it's very specific. I talked
about this in order, because that's when I understood that's
when it all started to come together to me. I was like, Oh,
my God. Okay. So first, let's talk about, you know, what
happens if and, you know, there's no boots on the ground.
But of course, you know, we want to, we don't really want to
restrict whatever bled
out. And, of course, that is a negotiation between the Congress
and the administration. Would you tell us whether you believe
that a prohibition for having American boots on the ground is
that something that the administration would accept as
part of a
row here, they're talking about negotiating the document that
was handed over by the administration, so that we can
say, well, you can only do this will limit you to do that? And
of course, you know, Carrie will have none of that, because
that's not it. What are you doing?
Nothing just to talk.
It's annoying when you're playing the frickin tambourine
in the background. I'm sorry, I just picked it out. elution.
Mr. Chairman, it would be preferable not to not because
the there was any intention or any plan or any desire
whatsoever to have boots on the ground. However, I think the
President will give you every assurance in the world that My
as as the Secretary of Defense and determine but in the event
Syria imploded.
imploded John write this down? Because I need to know the
definition of implosion. I mean, so an implosion
is like go when you break a TV, old fashioned TV tube, it
explodes
inward inward, right? Okay. Got sense or in the mean, it's a
metaphor. It's an actual an act. It's an actual scientific thing.
Yes, there
was a threat of a chemical weapons cash, oh, then going
into the hands of Al Nusra, or someone else. And it was clearly
in the interests of our allies. All of us, British, the French
and others to prevent those weapons of mass destruction
falling into the hands of the worst elements. I don't want to
take off the table and
Okay, so you understand what he's saying? He's saying well,
you know, if it got really
bad, promising there would be no problem putting that in.
And let me in the thing give you a little intel from our our
actual boots on the southern Turkish border. Go
to the border with Syria, right, which we teased in the
newsletter. Yes.
So first of all, everybody there pretty much expects bombs to be
dropped. And they and these are servicemen and women who are
responding and some Arab or we call advisors, advisors who have
been in and out of the region for a while. So they're pretty
sure that stuff is gonna get dropped. They're not happy about
it, because they say that there's so many chemical
stockpiles in Syria, that we don't even have enough people in
our army to guard them all. If we wanted to think about what
that means. We did. So when they say boots on the ground, and by
the way, any politician that says boots on the ground, if you
put an M 16, to his head, this it's the it's I'm so disgusted
with this term at this point. How about, you know, putting
people killing people getting soldiers at risk, you know, the
whole it's the boots on the ground abstracts, it's so far
away to invade, don't, you can't and don't say that, to me boots
on the ground. It makes me mad now at this point, it's like,
it's, it's horrible code, and it's being forced down your
throat. And just to wrap up the intelligence that I got, besides
that we don't have the manpower, it is expected no one in the
armed services that I've spoken to, or communicated with bit
message is happy about it. But in addition to that, the secret
intelligence that everyone got when they came back to
Washington, apparently the Germans recorded Syrian Army
officials talking about the chemical attack after the
attack. And that is their their big secret intel that they have.
Like, yeah, I would be on the ham radio talking about it. If
it if it happened in Texas, like this isn't, you know, they have
no smoking gun. This is why they only have so called high
confidence. Okay, so and again, this is all leading to something
that is kind of surprising. And I am confident that some kind of
missiles will fly. But there's not going to be World War Three,
Russia is not going to retaliate. Iran is not going to
retaliate, although carry would have you believe that this is
all about, you know, essentially Iran, and you're either with us
or you're with the terrorists. I will
tell you there are some people hoping that the United States
Congress doesn't vote for this very limited request, the
President is put before you around is hoping you look the
other way. Are in action, but surely give them a permission
slip,
permission slip. What are we in kindergarten now a permission
slip permission slip, please
misinterpret our intention, if not to put it to the test.
Okay. So I just had this one, this is maybe a funny clip of
Kerry trying to explain to the public that he's trying to his
whole job is to sell this thing. And he's having a hard time even
getting the words out of his face.
All of them landed in opposition controlled or contested
territory. We have a map, physical evidence,
a map, John, we have a Mattis physical evidence, it has an X
on it, and with with a dotted line showing the trajectory,
showing every geographical point of impact. And that is concrete.
It's a map. It's a map. It's concrete, but there's more.
Within minutes of the attack, 90, I think to be precise, maybe
slightly shorter. All right.
Hold on a second, when you're lying. This is not how you do
it. John F Kerry. So the he's supposed to say, but what he's
trying to communicate is that within minutes of the attack,
social media, the word is media exploded. But he's tripping over
himself so poorly, that he has to say 90 To be precise, or kind
of something like that. This is a man whose lie every
geographical
point of impact. And that is concrete. Within minutes of the
attack, 90, I think to be precise, maybe slightly shorter.
The social media exploded, and he
says the social media, the social media expert, he's so
he's upset with himself. So he can't even say social media.
It's social media
is slightly shorter. The social media exploded with horrific
images.
And then it just goes on and on with the same talking points.
Now of course, we know that he's lying. And Putin knows he's
lying to and says it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin flatly called
Secretary of State John Kerry a liar for telling Congress on
Tuesday that al Qaeda enjoys less sway over the Syrian rebel
forces than it used to.
We communicate with US officials and assume that they are decent
people, very lies openly and he knows that he lives. This is sad
The this is said let's
do his foreign ministry today that it was the rebels who have
been using chemical weapons. Yet Putin also said Russia might
join in and attack on the Assad regime, if it's proved the
regime was cold.
Now, that's interesting. If he indeed said that, of course, I
don't really have any translated documents of what President
Putin said. But he's calling Kerry a liar. And and I think
that's that's pretty bold face. Now. One more piece from this
nine hours of testimony, the only I mean, they were I had
this tons of stuff in the show notes, you all kinds of clips,
you can look and listen to whatever you want. I'm skipping
around. I thought this was the fun. There was a right at the
end. Rand Paul is going off on Carrie, Carrie gets pissed at
him, gets pissed. And then something really funny happened.
What I was just gonna say I can't imagine those two liking
each other outside of work.
Well, there's a third guy in the room, who was also having none
of caries watermelon had business
limit I doing so you announced in advance that your goal is not
winning. But that's not I think the last 50 years of Secretaries
of Defense would Senator win, always not to learn and be the
one to go to war in Syria? Of course, not everybody. 100% of
Americans will say no.
And by the way, I'm a little tired of everyone throwing out
percentages like 98%, you know, 98.5% 99, if you if you notice
this, that it's like, it's all 98 mess,
because it's worked so well to global warming argument. Right.
So now it's nine in now. He's 100%? Sure.
We say no, we don't want to go to war in Syria, either. It's
not what we're here to ask the President is not asking you to
go to war. It's not asking you to declare war. He's not asking
you to send one American troop to war. He's simply saying we
need to take an action that can degrade the capacity of a man
who's been willing to kill his own people by breaking a nearly
100 year old prohibition? And will we stand up and be counted
to say we won't do that? That's, that's not I don't, you know, I
just don't consider that going to war in the classic sense of
coming to Congress and training troops and sending people abroad
and putting young Americans in harm's way. That's not what the
President is asking for here. General. Do you want to speak to
that all to that? No, not really, Secretary, thank you for
offering. By the way,
so that's Dempsey and Dempsey, just let him hang out there.
Dempsey, if I was watching this, and Dempsey was like, either
show he was either folded arms, or he was he was doing a
crossword puzzle, or something. He was so disengaged from this,
that it was wearing his Bakelite badge in case anybody doesn't
know who he is,
in case someone needs to wake him up, like hey, Dempsey, ya
know, I mean, and everyone, of course, you know, the
distraction of the week is John McCain was playing poker on his
iPhone. And then he tweeted, like, oh, it's horrible. I got
busted. And I love it's because this is a dog and pony show. I
do want to just play because and poor Carrie, I feel a little bad
for him. Because, you know, he won't he wanted to be president,
obviously. I mean, we know that he ran in over his head with
this job. But no, but this is the problem isn't key. You know,
first of all, he was doing interviews from his clippity
clop. State Room. I mean, I'm sure you saw that last Sunday.
He was on all the all the Sunday talk shows. He didn't go to the
studios. No, he stands in his wood paneled room with his big
flags and emblem because he he's trying to be something that he
can never be, which is eloquent first of all, and he's just he's
he's direct way over
time. I've gone are convinced that he's not that bright. Oh,
no, he's dumb.
He's totally dumb. I'm sorry, John, John F Kerry is dumb. But
you know, but he's a bones man. You know, this is why he's all
in on this. He's from the skull and bones club. And he does
something in this altercation with the with Duncan, who's from
I think South Carolina. First he goes into Shut up slave mode.
And then it gets funny, because he thinks he's like the boss of
me.
Have there been efforts to to put weapons in the hands of
Syrian rebels, rebels and also transfer weapons from Libya to
Syria?
So this is a valid question. He's like, Hey, did these
weapons that you know, like, maybe these chemical weapons
that we transfer him from? Like, I don't know, Libya, Benghazi,
something like that?
Well, let me begin Garrison by challenging your proposition
that I've never done anything except advocate caution. Because
I volunteered to fight for my country. And that wasn't a
cautious thing to do when I did it. Mr. So and I was in China
Yeah. Gonna finish, I'm gonna finish I'm going to finish when
I was in the United States Senate. I supported military
action in any number of occasions, including Grenada,
Panama, I can run a list of them. And I am not going to sit
here and be told by you that I don't have a sense of what the
judgment is with respect to this. We're talking about people
being killed by gas, and you want to go talk about Benghazi,
and fast and furious. absolutely want to talk about guys. Four
Americans lost their lives. I have sympathy for the people in
Syria. And I do think there should be a worldwide response.
But we should act cautiously. Yeah, we are acting cautiously.
We are acting so cautiously that the United States was accused of
not acting because he wanted to have sufficient evidence, and he
wanted to build the case properly. It's been 15 days ago
now, not to back to this Chairman point of privilege,
privilege, point of privilege, point of privilege. I look this
up point of privilege. This is a parliamentary motion, when a
member is in need of assistance for illness or personal
emergency.
guy who, who's testifying
or the need to immediately answer a charge of misconduct
made by another member. This is a point of privilege. What are
you doing watermelon?
I didn't see this. But the parliament there's a
parliamentarian in Congress that whispers in the ear of the chair
usually. And they would shut these things off. So you're not
you're not qualified to do a point of privilege.
No, but this is how insane this guy is.
Now he's, he's horrible. Okay, so it gets worse by the minute,
I have to say that John F. Kerry, becoming the Secretary of
State is an improvement for our show over.
I have to say, because he's fun, he's fun. He's,
he's more fun because all we had on her was that she made a lot
of horse like noises. She's probably the devil didn't. You
can't fight
that it's just looping. Lucifer is just unbeatable. At the end
of the day, we know. We couldn't talk Lucifer keeps coming back,
carry on the other hand, easy target and the big head to the
shooter. Now. This is where I where I realized, oh, man, and
this is the first day I realized this thing is set up recognize
this voice
and lead the world with conviction. That is clear about
our
by the way, I need to point out this is happening at the end of
his opening statement perfectly timed
and lead the world with conviction. That is clear about
our responsibility. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Committee will be in order. Committee will be in order. We
don't want to ask the police to restore order.
Chris Mitchell?
John, do you recognize that voice?
Sounds like David the the operations operation pink or
Daschle? Yes.
And who is the woman?
I don't remember. He's
the same one that interrupted Obama four times in a row. She's
the same one.
What's the point of her? Maybe she's just a hired gun.
Yes. And why is she in there and she gets to the point of
ordering I would like to order order. Then she gets to talk
again, completely on unrestricted and then they take
her out. It's right after Carrie finishes his his opening
remarks. Then she as if on cue, she goes, and then Karen jumps
back into,
you know, the first time I testified before this committee
when I was 27 years old. I had feelings very similar to that
protester.
Now. You did. So the whole This was his setup. This was the
setup scripted, so that he could say, oh, you know, I protested
and I understand, but this is all about No, we can't guess
children, etc. Okay. So meanwhile, and here's what's
happened. This is very interesting. This going on, the
President is jetting off to Sweden now this is actually he's
all in all the Nordic countries and did even he might have
popped into Finland, God knows but he's gonna have dinner with
the King and Queen and Sweden because of course, he's on his
way to the G 20. Which is in St. Petersburg. He was supposed to
see Putin that's gonna kind of happen all part of all part of
the show. I'm kind of convinced in this case. And then the
President is in. Here we go is in Sweden, and he has a press
conference. And this is also scheduled and this was a big WTF
for people but I'm, I'm kind of disagreeing I think that this
guy is so slick. He's so smart. He knows exactly what what he is
doing. He is so right on the money. And here's Reuters
getting the first question an American journalist in Sweden
asking the question, and the President is literally accepting
this question as a gift. And he will say, so you fall under
voters.
Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, sir. Have you made up your
mind whether to take action against Syria? Whether or not
you have a Congressional resolution approved? Is a strike
needed in order to preserve your credibility for when you set
these sort of red lines? And were you able to enlist the
support of the prime minister here for support in Syria?
Get like we care of the Swedish Prime Minister, whatever, that's
not the point.
Let me unpack the question. Because it was a
gift. Let me let me
I mean, here's the thing Stop. He says on when did he keep come
up with the Silicon Valley crap, unpack the question, because it
was another thing. It wasn't here. There was a John, it
wasn't used. The I know it was a gift. But why would he be using
this terminology? Unpack the question,
because it was a gift you unwrap a question?
Oh, you're on. Let me unwrap my gift
support in Syria?
Let me unpack the question. First of all, I didn't set a red
light. The world said a red light. The world said a red line
when governments representing 98% of the world's population
said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent.
And what is the word abhorrent? You mean? Did he mean abhorrent?
And he said
abhorrent? abhorrent? There is no word abhorrent. I
looked this up to him like Man, am I missing a word here? No,
no, no. How can you how can you flub that one?
I don't know if he's ever said the word before has he has he
said abhorrence, but I couldn't
find any promises we do. What's he reading a script from a
distance and he and he couldn't make out the word. Or someone
said use the word abhorrent, abhorrent and he didn't hear it
right. We don't know. It's very, very strange. So
it's not I don't think he's reading from a prompter. It was
weird. It was weird.
The word abhorrent I mean, come on. Okay. Now and of course the
whole world is like and particularly the right wing the
of the all the van I wanted one of these blogs and use all this
bullcrap paid for by Republican crap, right? Oh, man, another
distraction. Let's go back. And let's listen to what he said
about the red line. Because here he is actually saying I never
made up the red line and
passed a treaty forbidding their use, even when countries are
engaged in war. Congress set a red line when it ratified that
treaty.
Now this by the way, something no one is looking up. This is
the Syrian accountability act from 2003, which he is acting
upon. He has every right by our stupid, idiotic Congress and
congressional law system to do what he's doing. And this is by
the way, Eliot Engel is the guy who drafted this legislation in
2003. Eliot Engel, a fine Democrat from the war mongering
party, and it's and it's all about going in and kicking some
ass and of course it was because they were encroaching on
Lebanon's territory. And this kind of comes back to what you
said on Sunday that it may be just indeed, we need to level
everything, make it all look the same. Make Syria look the same
as Lebanon. But the President is referring directly to something
you've not heard anyone talk about the Syrian Accountability
Act of 2003.
Congress set a red line when an indicated that in a piece of
legislation titled The Syria Accountability Act, that some of
the horrendous things that are happening on the ground there
need to be answered for. And so when I said in a press
conference, that my calculus about what's happening in Syria
would be altered by the use of chemical weapons, which the
overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong.
Alright, listen, pause it there for a second. Oh, this guy is
good, John. What this guy is good.
No, he is good because I have the other clip too. I have this
both these clips, but let me let me play it nicely. did whatever
he said. He said, But then before you go there. I'm
wondering about you know, He does this every so often where
he throws out the document he said, because of this and he
throws out The Accountability external accountability angles,
you actually went to the to the effort to actually look at the
thing and I marked it up for everybody. you marked it up.
Just said which which is what you do. I'm wondering if he if
this is the way he's thinking it is okay. This situation is
getting out of control the bad publicity is not to let me just
give them a gift. Let me give the media a gift. And go,
father, John, yours
fucking computer is fucking up again. I can't fucking hear you
now. He's cussing me out. I'm not cussing you out. I'm angry
because I'm we're into a conversation. Can you back it
off more? I have no idea why it's still giving me auto
errors. Just backup, my auto but let me turn down my turn down
the gain. And you've got your auto on. Right?
Yeah, I got the other one. Is that better?
I have no idea. Just pick it up. You're wondering how
to deal. So he goes out and he gets a he finds some something
in the background there that he can use as leverage. And then he
gives it to the meet, expecting them to look at it. And they
never do. This has got to drive him crazy. Because he's got to
be thinking to himself, I got all the excuses in the world and
lay and then one of his guys comes on. Hey, look at this. You
ever read this? Holy crap, this gives me all the everything I
need. Let me throw it out there and no, they'll run with it. But
because the media has been so deep balled and don't give a
crap and they don't do their job anymore. They don't even pick up
the ball and drive him crazy.
Well, yes. And no, yes. And no, uh, no, he knew about this. From
day one, the minute he said, I have the authority to do this.
And let's just go back to the redline press conference
us. We cannot have a situation where chemical or biological
weapons are falling into the hands of the wrong people. We
have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other
players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start
seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being
utilized. That would change my calculus that will change my
equation
now. So he is spot on. This is set up. He knew it, that he
there was a reason for this. And the reason is, of course, the
West Clark seven. So I came back to see him a few weeks later.
And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan, I said, Are we
still going to war with Iraq? And he said, Oh, it's worse than
that. He said, He reached over on his desk, he picked up a
piece of paper. He said, I just he said I just got this down
from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense Office
today. And he said this a memo that describes how we're going
to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq,
and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing
off Iran. Now there's a reason for all of this there is there
is an absolute reason why this is taking place now and why we
need to hurry up. We need to get everything into Congress. And of
course, Congress, their job is actually to delay a little bit
because we got some interesting things happening. First, let's
let Obama finish up with that his credibility is not on the
line here.
That wasn't saying I just got a made up. I didn't pluck it out
of thin air. There's a reason for it. That's point number one.
Point number two. My credibility is not on the line. No, no, the
international community's credibility is on the line. And
America and Congress's credibility is on the line,
because we give lip service to the notion that these
international norms are important.
All right, so now I'm thinking All right, hold on a second.
This guy does everything he does is calculated everything he
says, and he's so good, that he is not. And I hear what you're
saying. But I think that the reason why he said, Hey, wait a
minute, this is not my credibility. This is Congress
from 2003. This is you know, this has been on the books. I'm
just following orders here. I'm supposed to when something goes
wrong with Syria, and we don't have to read through all the
Syrian Accountability Act, you kind of get the idea of the word
accountability. It's been going on for you know, you are 10
years later, it's been simmering, waiting for this to
happen. And so it's like, hey, you know, this is Congress's
problem. This is not my problem. I have to go and do this
regardless, because that is the law. And of course, I'm a
constitutional lawyer now. So now I'm looking over at what
this is the timing of this is weird. Why is he pushing so hard
and then throws it into Congress? And then he takes off
immediately he's gone to the G 20. I'm like, there's gotta be
something here. And the thing the thing that tipped me off,
was and I've got tons of show notes on this was the big press.
release, they did a big PR thing from the Nordic countries. And
let me see if I can find it here. Hold on a second. Oh,
crap, I'll get it in a minute. essentially saying, hey, you
know, we're all in on on Syria. We're all in on the FTA. I'm
like, wait a minute. What Why are we Why do we have C at the
top of the press release, Syria and the FTA, also known as the,
the TI a FTA, also known as the TTIP, or the tip, we're just
putting the tip in. So I go looking around, and I'm
thinking, Hey, what are these guys talking about? Here's
Barroso, such a
deal between the world's two most important economic powers
will be a game changer. Together, we will form the
largest free trade zone in the world. So this negotiation will
set the standard, not only for our future bilateral trade and
investment, including regulatory issues, but also for development
of global trade rules.
Alright, so now like, Okay, this is interesting. Why is everyone
talking about this Free Trade Agreement ahead of this g 20? I
mean, is this something that we have to pay attention to here is
the EU Commission trade, dude, coddled, the 50s, a Dutch guy on
this whole T tip.
Ideally, we'd like to complete this work in about two years, if
possible, before the end of the mandate of this commission. But
more paramount than speed is achieving an ambitious deal,
an ambitious deal. And I'm like, hold on a second. I remember, I
remember something about this. And it was another one of those
things that came up in the State of the Union. You know, just
like the 3d printers, and all this other stuff. Like there was
something that I remembered and I went back, and I found the
clip announcing
that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic
Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union, because
trade that is fair and free across the Atlantic supports
millions of good paying American jobs.
And what are those millions of good paying American jobs? Well,
as you delve into it, you have to understand the meta of this,
all that, you know, this President is promoting our
natural gas industry, the United States is now if you look at the
potential output, and let's just pretend that the fracking that
we're doing in America and the buildup of the fracking will
indeed equal the numbers that are projected, which we will
equal that of Russia. Now, here is a $10 billion investment from
Qatar Petroleum, going to Exxon, and this is for a liquid or a
natural gas export terminal, here in Texas. And when you look
at, if you start just Googling around for natural gas, export
USA, you will find tons of amazing articles about how this
is going to if we can make this work, how it will essentially
save the United States and Europe. And here's why.
Currently, it's under $4 at the wellhead for gas in America. Now
this is not high enough, we need that to go up. Because we just
can't make No one here can make money on this stuff. But then we
have to get the demand of Russian gas to Europe is at $15
per million Btus. So there's your discrepancy. We are in a
beautiful spot in the United States of America. We don't have
to build pipelines. And because well, first of all, it's going
to be almost impossible, because you'd have to build them under
the ocean. But if we have these export terminals, we are right
in the middle of between Asia and Asia, certainly Japan where
we had an unfortunate nuclear accident and they shut down all
of their nuclear power and Europe who are in desperate need
because the Russians have been turning. They're famous for
doing it. They're famous for turning off pipelines, raising
prices willy nilly. So there's there's this problem that is you
know, and it's like it's a $10 difference. 10 $11 difference.
Now, what is the free trade agreement about it enables
American exports to countries that have a free trade
agreement, so that you know, there's no export, there's no
process right now, if you want to export a container ship of
natural gas, it can take up to 20 months to get the process
through the whole system. If we have the free trade agreement
and you look at it, they'll say climate change, and other jobs
and whatever bullshit. This is about getting gas from America
to Europe, and that is the competition. And Obama took this
so he's trying to negotiate this right now at the G 20. He wants
this free trade greement done, so we can get it going. It'll be
hundreds of billions of dollars in America. It'll really help
out Europe, whether we'll be producing something I have to
say this is kind of a brilliant plan. If you don't mind killing
people to get it done. This is it's great because we can save
our economy by finally producing something other than just war
material. Get it over to Europe, we can the Europe will be our
bitch now, we completely cut off Russia at the pass. Now,
what's the whole guy though? Well, here,
here, no, here, let me let me finish here comes. He is using
he'd needed Congress to delay while he's over there. Because
he's bad. He's using it as a bargaining chip. He's like,
look, here's what I can do. I can flip the switch. If you
don't give me the free trade agreement, I can flip the
switch. And it's going to ruin we want to ruin Russia's
potential anyway. But guess what's gonna happen to your
price of gas? If we start blowing up Syria? You're gonna
double? What do you want to do? This is his bargaining chip
John, and I think he might have to use it because the EU, there
they are so afraid of jumping out of the fat into the fire.
For instance, in the Netherlands, the Netherlands.
They looked at all their seek just yesterday, I read the doc
the the press reports on this. They read all of the Syrian
evidence. And they came out and said, We're not convinced. We're
not convinced that Assad did that. Why would they say that?
Could it be the 1 billion euro investment from Gazprom and the
new terminal and Rotterdam, you think that has something to do
with it? Of course it does. This is only about these two players
who was going to deliver to the number one customer in the
world. And this is a bargaining chip. The Russians don't give a
crap. If we bomb out Syria, they'll figure another way to
get their gas out to the Mediterranean, but they will
screw with Europe, they will screw with it. If the Free Trade
Agreement happens. You watch this is what it's about the TTIP
the TA FTA.
Right. Well, the Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement, which also
includes a lot of other stuff, you know, like Monsanto?
Sure. Well, the GMOs, of course, of course.
So here's a little tidbit in here I want to play, which is
Carl Levin is an idiot clip. And there's this little tidbit in
here. It was piece of information I thought was I
didn't know this before. You can tell me whether you knew it or
not. But apparently it's the Russians who have been supplying
Assad with the wet bins, according to Lebon
beside Assad's takes. So those kinds of weapons, it seems to me
can be safely provided to the vetted components of the Syrian
opposition.
Secretary Kerry said today, they would absolutely positively no
way be boots on the ground is this and that he would be open
to this being included as part of the war authorization
it Do you think that's a good a good idea to draw that
war authorization because
I think it's important that the American people know we're not
going to get dragged into a civil war, that there are ways
of taking action against the use of chemical weapons, which needs
to be taken. If other countries such as Syria and Iran
understand that the transfer, for instance of weapons of mass
destruction or the use of weapons of mass destruction will
precipitate a response on our part. Because if those weapons
are transferred, such as chemicals going to terrorist
groups, they can end up attacking us this is in our
interest.
And Russia may do that, but they don't care. They really they're
not going to go to war over this. And this is the this is
the only message I really have. There's no good there's not
going to be a world war three, non stop, stop listening to Alex
Jones with all that bullshit. This is pure, this is actually
good. I hate to say it, just from a meta meta perspective. If
the president can pull this off, he may, he may. And you've and I
go back to you, John, where you said that you know, like the 49
Gold Rush if we can have all this natural gas be the new gold
that it could save us from the financial demise with all this
idiotic money printing and quantitative easing has provided
as built up over the last almost half a decade. This would
actually save everything and the arrogance you're seeing is from
Obama is like I gotta get this done that it will you know,
they'll get people will die of course. But it is a strategy
it's just I would prefer if the President just went Okay look,
he's we're gonna we need this thing with Europe. And you know,
we got to screw the Russians to go get our business.
Well, here's what's what's got me kind of concerned, which is
that if they want they've there's a lot of groupings of
these chemical weapons throughout Syria, whether they
were supplied by the Russians or not. And Levin and all these
other guys. In fact, Levin goes on with another clip here where
he talks about these being weapons of mass destruction,
which is kind of his bullcrap, because gas is not a mass
destruction, it just killed people. But, but no, so they'll
topple or screw up that regime. And then they will, what they
didn't what they claim they don't want, which is that the
rebels, let's say take over because we're not giving them
weaponry according to the Blinken guy. That means that
those rebels will end up with the supplies of, of these gases
of the chemical weapons. Which is I thought that's not what we
don't want that to happen. Because now because this easily
transportable as Levin says it can be moved around released,
they could bring a canister into Paris and drop it off the top of
the Eiffel. There's a lot of negative possibilities here,
which I think is what we're going to end up running into,
even though I I would say that if your analysis of Obama's
scheming is correct, and even though I might be optimistic
that Obama has to be one of the smartest presidents, in fact
that we've ever had, even though it seems to me that some of the
stuff he does is naive.
Yes, John, that is the travesty that the Obama is probably the
smartest president ever. That is what neither of us expected.
Well, I mean, this is assuming that this is all his doing. And
it's not like, you know, somebody the CIA's scheduling
this whole thing?
Yeah. Well, I think this is, well, actually, you know, what?
When he was in, he just seems a little miffed all the time. Now,
for a guy who was you describe yourself confident that that he
seemed irked?
Running Yeah, I'm here. I'm sorry. That's okay. You sound
great. Honey, don't worry. So he'll problems here. You know,
here's what, we've had a lot of technical issues. Why don't we?
I think we have a shortlist of executive producers. We're
already way past where we should be doing our opening credits.
But we've gotten to a point where let's just thank some
people and then, you know, refresh our brains and come back
into where we think this is headed. How's that sound?
Yeah, I still have to get hold on now. Because I I had the
thing open the guy, Jordan DeMoss. Yeah. Gave us 460 $6.72.
And he'll be the executive producer and he's in Hawaii and
he has an email that he sent. Okay. It was a long, lengthy
one. So let me just look him up here.
Okay. And what I'll do is I will, I will say in the morning
to you John Cena random
morning to you, Adam. And in the morning to all the well, we used
to call them boots on the ground. But now that's you've
ruined it.
Now you can't have boots on the ground because it's it angers
me. How about you? I
don't know what to say. Now. you've screwed up my whole
pitch.
You can say boots on the ground. Because when you say boots on
the ground, you know that you're not you know, I'm talking
heavily or you're not being Cavalier.
Well, we got boots on the ground subs in the water feet in the
air and the data is nice out there. And the curious thing
here is that the subs in the water guy is Jordan DeMoss.
Oh, right. Yeah, no, I think this was a great email that he
sent us.
Yes. And you have to put him down because he's a surge Jordan
and he's now a Baronet. So he says he sends a note and I put
him put them on the list. Eric never got this note, ITM from
the sub under the water. I've been a 333 subscriber for the
last three years donation, no agenda nation.com shows that I
have donated, it shows that he's donated 1533 28. So he's made a
drunken donation of 466 72 for this Thursday show to my
Baronet. Who makes his own beer? I would like to be the Baronet
of breweries.
Well, sure. Well, you can you can you be that when you're a
Baronet? I'm just gonna be a baron before you can get a
brewery or do be any kind of any kind of protector.
I think it's fine. Okay. I don't think there's gonna be a big
demand for this. barony
up. Okay. You'd be surprised we got a lot of home brewers in the
in the club.
I believe the lands of breweries are small enough to still be
considered a Baronet. If you recall, my previous knighthood
title was The Lord of the Admiralty. Yeah, so please
announce me as the Lord of the Admiralty and Baronet of the
breweries. He's pushing it. Well, if the
Lord of the Admiralty and Baronet of the breweries all
right, you got it no problem, no problem.
Furthermore, as a Lord of the animal gene Baronet of the
breweries is a long title. I hear by issue and executive
proclamation that all brewers, sailors and marines who may take
offense by this by the way Since they operate as part of the Navy
aren't donating that those that aren't donating are douchebags.
Henceforth every September will be Brewer sailor and marine
douchebag Awareness Month.
Well, I don't know. I don't know if it can fit in with all the
other things we have to observe in the month of September but
okay, well, we'll see we'll get a presidential proclamation for
it.
Since one of the guys on my ship just tested positive for Coke. I
probably shouldn't partake in the hookers and blow oops. I
suggest you add barrels of beer at the bar to the offerings of
the new Knights and Dames of the Round Table. And finally he says
plug for Eric I'm awaiting the arrival of my fame United States
Constitution replica which is currently being produced by Eric
the shell so it may hanghai A bug above my Kegerator and
challenge coins. It's nice. Okay, anyway,
well thank you very much. Lord surge Jordan Lord of the
Admiralty Baron out of the breweries for coming. What an
interesting number the mentioned thing about the why it was
466 72 Or was that just
I think so it added up to whatever you like it adds up
exactly. 202
Okay, great great great
yeah there's nothing special okay. So anyway we How do I
sound am I breaking up left and
right no it's it's reasonable the the chat room had opted the
idea of opening up a ping connection between your eye No,
well you know, it's who knows I mean, it can it can help guide
the packets
apparently Yes. Guide Dogs have ping.
The guide dogs have ping? Yeah.
Anyway, back to the spreadsheet. As I look at the ping thing is
very hypnotic. Zoom the pings go by Matthew Sluder sloyd or
Sluiter.
I think it's floater. That would be that outer Dutchman in
Holland
333 77 is also says the town is Holland Michigan. Coming in
triples reason knees, triple threes on the knees
nice 337 You see the sevens look like knees? Oh yeah. Triple
threes on the knees love that
maybe that'll catch on. Finally donating on my birthday of all
days to the best podcast in the universe would love to give a
shot of karma to my brother Tim just starting out a new in
Vermont and my other brother Alex in his fledgling it
business don't need anything for myself we're all screwed anyway
Keep up the good work John and Adam Best regards pronounced
lighter
lighter Sorry, sorry. Formerly from Holland now in Holland,
Michigan. Born with the best beaches in the universe. Well,
here's the karma as requested said you've got karma obviously
some.
And by the way, his donation amounts to a breakdown for
anniversary Adam his birthday. And his sons Griffin we have on
the list by the way his birthday coming up. Nice. Oh, actually,
though, as James That's it's you know, this spreadsheet is
dissents. Eric's been doing good. It's easy to go right to
the next one just because there's no line when you use the
yellow coloring. We need thicker lines is what we need. This is
Dame Joan, in Morgantown, West Virginia give 255 54 and she
broke it down with 255 5488 for John and Mimi's anniversary 6666
for our anniversary 49 For Adam's birthday 51 for sons
Griffin's 50th birthday.
Now of course, you know if if Dame Joanie doesn't mind, you
can always hand her son over to Matthew. I mean, we can just
pass them around.
What are you implying?
That's because you had him congratulate? Oh, I
see what you're saying. Because I had it mixed up. Yes. It's
just one big yellow trying
trying to save you. I don't it's not that bad. I mean, I
my machine it is. There's no line between the two donations.
Okay. All right. All right. Good. That's okay, because that
was it.
We had to exactly one associate Exec. We want to thank them for
helping us on show 545 And we do need some additional help for
the show. 546 coming up on Sunday. We do.
Please go to devora.org/n A, and maybe we just need some help
just to get a dedicated line between us. I mean, this is this
is a very, very problematic issue. Also want to think of I
kind of already thanked all of our human resources in the chat
room. There are no agenda stream.com no agenda chat.
dotnet thank you to our artists. Thank you very much, Tomi tunks.
I think a new artist for us to brought us the album art for
episode 544 I can't wait to see what we have on no agenda art
generator.com later on today. I want to thank let's see producer
Matthew Hamilton who has registered now I'm not quite
sure how this works but he actually sent an email
explaining the dot bit domain which is.bi T and we have like
no agenda.bi t up pointing to no agenda show.com but also he's
got what is independence dot bits Self Reliance dot bit
civilians dot bit Lincon dot bit rebellion the shop the Shut up
slave dot bit and the way this works is and he's 16 by the way
is you mine I guess you you run the namecoin software so somehow
I think you're you're in some kind of Bitcoin mining scheme
and then you get domain names is like your as a goody payoff is
very interesting what exactly namecoin is a decentralized
currency and you can redeem when you when you mined name coins I
guess you can redeem the domain names for it. And he's anyway
the dot bit domain we pretty much Own It Now I guess. Okay,
no idea how that works. And also a shout out to no agenda
films.com Back on the scene with the the fall movie propaganda
alert lineup, so make sure you check that out. Link in the show
notes. No agenda films.com
Oh, that's good. I I was worried that he was going to bail out on
this because we've been recommending a lot of movies.
Yeah, no,
he's he's back in the game. He had a couple of sick toddlers he
said so he was he was pretty awful. I
got another movie then. I think people should just see it if
they never seen it. All right. Eraserhead dough
classic classic I'm not quite sure why you're recommending it.
Just get him to me good work John disturbing film that's why
Hey, go out there propagate our formula our formula is this we
go out with people in the mouth
and then just to bring us back into back into the whole thing
President Obama you know as as I am now, my theory is that this
is all about the Free Trade Agreement he's using Congress as
a delay tactic and and Syria is in by itself a bargaining chip
and if you remove the whole new world order you know we're gonna
kill you to do anything to make it all work thing then it seems
like a pretty genius plan. Here's what was really
disturbing to me that in the in the make believe world of
television. I have a video here of one of the Swedish morning
shows and they're all very excited about the president and
and the First Lady and we were coming over to hang out in
Sweden and and so what do you do on a morning TV show when you
know and you have like the full staff and you think kind of like
Good Morning America. And you have your select celebrate ease
and they're coming on? What would you do? You know, to make
to get everyone kind of into the whole vibe of the Obamas
visiting you'd have
Michelle come on and cook something Oh, very
close. They didn't have Michelle Come on, but they were cooking
something
that President Barack Obama I provide the list of comb oak is
sound the president than out Sundar, let me cause branch This
is my sister nice and man. No one report forbidden Well, let
me cost
Yes. Then no miss me customer Katenka see? Macaroni and
cheese. Yeah.
And then they go on to explain. The business Chanda Merica
somatic now load on the show. You know what you say in there,
don't you
just talking about how great macaroni and cheese mac and
cheese? Macaroni and cheese melted together
mac and cheese mac and cheese Mac is exactly what she said.
She said this is the national dish of America. It's cheap
macaroni and cheese cheddar cheese melted together. It's
exactly what she was saying. How sad is it that that is now our
national dish.
Does it make sense? Actually makes nothing but sense.
So here is further proof that this is about the the the gas
companies and this was a great flub by now Senator Levin is
he's also a Democrat. Yes. From the war party. John lemon.
Yeah. And he's from New York and he is the war party.
Representative as of the day
and he is a he's on PBS our national treasure and he
actually gives it all away in this one little clip.
I think we should authorize the use of force. And in order for
it to be most effective, that means that we've got to do a
couple of things besides authorize it, we've got to help
the Syrian people who are resisting Assad, to have the
weapons to fight for themselves. So far certain weapons, which
would be very helpful in that respect have not been provided
for them. And particularly in response to a chemical attack.
If they had anti tank weapons to go against the tanks, which
protected the launchers which launched the chemical weapons,
for instance, that would show that this is not just an
American fight, that this is a fight that the Syrian Free Army
is right in the middle of and is willing to fight that they
need the weapons, we ought to help get those wait for it
weapons to them. And secondly, it seems to me it's important
that when we do strike, that we have other countries with us for
it to be effective, and that includes a number of Arab
countries, we were assured today there will be a number of
company countries that would join us, and that's very
important to the effectiveness of any action on
what companies would be joining you in that effective action
that war monger 11 Would that be Exxon Chevron ConocoPhillips.
So I'm reminded of I got this clip that's got nothing to do
with Syria. But it is. You know, we've talked about this on the
show, and it's been discussed elsewhere how people can't not
tell the truth.
Yes. The human psyche wants to be truthful. Yeah, it's hard to
lie.
Yeah. And so it always comes somehow it comes out the truth
always comes out some way shape or form by a flub, or by overt
stuff. Do you remember that? We talked about this when you know,
Penn State? Had that, that? Jerry Sandusky pedophile, pedo.
Bear thing? Yeah. And there was a huge ring. And there's been an
update because there's this new show on CBS called sports. 60
minutes. It's on Showtime. So they cuss a lot. And and they
had the two lawyers for the first time from that case,
discuss their, how they did it and how they beat the guy
because apparently, Penn State in particular, and they and from
this clip, this Sandusky clip I have, they talked about how the
university so many state university itself was was
totally involved with blocked with the obstruction of justice.
In fact, the the former president of the university and
two other people are under indictment as we speak, and
they're gonna get busted for this because they were
supporting it. So they talked a little bit about that at the
beginning of this clip. And then they talk about how they finally
managed to break the case wide open. And again, it's someone
who could not not tell the truth.
So know that we got and stayed involved a massive multibillion
dollar entity that at the time, we don't realize although we
would come to realize it may not be fully committed to disclosing
what the reality is, of course, we come to realize that they're,
they're actively obstructing our investigation, and they're
obstructing justice. Yeah. And they had been for many years,
did you to ever look at each other and go, I can understand
if they're covering up recruiting violations. But this
is serial sexual abuse of children, that they are
institutionally resisting efforts to uncover many times. I
mean, that happened over and over again. I mean, it's
offensive. I mean, I just don't understand how you separate any
of this, any of this from the context, which is children were
being raped. I mean, this isn't hard. This isn't, you know, this
isn't a difficult concept. This isn't a wishy washy issue.
feenin McGettigan felt there had to be more victims, but finding
them and convincing them to testify, appeared out of reach.
Until that is an investigator discovered an old book Sandusky
had written about himself, incredibly titled, touched, when
I
learned that the book was entitled touch when I started,
get involved in investigation. I said, I can't believe that he
did that. I mean, he's, he's telling people something. And he
did. He really did.
And we looked at the pictures in the book. Some of them had names
that we could identify the kids, some didn't. And then we would
search and try to find somebody that could identify the picture
of the kid and the book
touched is a roadmap to a certain degree for you guys in
the beginning to try to find some of the victims there really
was, but now you have to convince them to come forward.
Wow. Yeah.
Although our president I think he actually is pretty good at
it. Now he is what headline I finally caught him in one kind
of, well,
how did you catch him with a net point is, is that most of these
guys are good at lying. Oh, so it seems. Yeah. And then as we
listen to their clips, you hear them? Yeah. You're here
revelations, indeed. But what they're good is covering that
part up.
There was a Swedish reporter who asked her Did you see this
question about? Well, I'll play the question for
British national television establish. precedent, you've
given very eloquent talks about the moral force of non violence.
I was wondering, could you describe the dilemma to be a
Nobel Peace Prize winner and getting ready to attack Syria?
I like this one, by the way. Because this is what everyone
always talks about.
Yeah, this question should be constantly asked,
I would refer you to the speech that I gave when I received the
Nobel Prize. And I started the speech by saying that compared
to previous recipients, I was certainly unworthy.
I'm sorry, Mr. President, this is one maybe you weren't
expecting this question. Why don't we listen to the beginning
of his acceptance speech, shall we? John? It's kind of fun in
retrospect.
Your Majesty's Your Royal Highness is distinguished
members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Don't you love it? Your Majesty's Your Highnesses?
That's the new pukey man, New World Order bull crap right
there.
Add Malika and citizens of the world
and he has a smirk on his face.
I receive this honor with deep gratitude.
Okay, deep gratitude. Not quite saying he doesn't deserve it
yet.
And great humility. Oh, humility. Why an award that
speaks to our highest aspirations? For all the cruelty
and hardship of our world? We are not mere prisoners of fate.
Our actions matter.
Have you heard it yet? John has it? Yeah. Have you heard
anything that is he's not right over here. I don't hear maybe
it's coming up making
history in the direction of justice. And yet, I would be
remiss if I did not acknowledge the considerable controversy
that your generous decision has generated.
Okay, hold on a second, the controversy? Because he's not
worthy of it. I guess he's gonna say right, that would that would
be what you'd expect him to say. Because I'm not worthy of this.
In part, this is because I am not worthy at the beginning. And
not the end of my labors on the world stage. Compared to some of
the giants of history who have received this prize,
okay, let me put myself in the lineup of the giants of history.
Schweitzer and King, Marshall, and Mandela. My accomplishments
are slight.
I'm still not hearing the I don't deserve it.
And then there are the men and women around the world who've
been jailed, then beaten, in the pursuit of justice in America.
Those who toil and humanitarian organizations to relieve
suffering. The unrecognized millions whose quiet acts of
courage and compassion, inspire even the most hardened cynics. I
cannot argue with those who find these men and women. Some known
some obscure to all but those they help to be far more
deserving of this honor than i
Oh, okay. Well, you kind of said it. You were anything but
humble, sir.
Well, then he, yeah. Well, he constantly does this. And he
could probably make the argument by parsing that he did say
exactly what you know, well, I just thought it
was exact words. But he's usually better when he when you
know, the whole red line thing he was spot on. He's like, let
me unpack your question. I didn't say it was a red line. I
said there was a red line and I was gonna change my calculus.
That's what happened.
That was good. That's another buzzword that's showing up a lot
that's bothering me with calculus. And he uses it all the
time. My calculus. Yeah, I've heard it. You hear it a lot. And
she keeps cropping up. So it can can you say my calculus? What
does that even mean?
Well, it's the complex calculations only I can make as
president of the best country in the universe.
This is literally the definition of this word. Let you do A brand
of mathematics that deals with the finding properties of
derivatives and integrals of functions by methods originally,
based on the summation of infinitesimal differences, the
two main types of differential calculus and integral calculus.
You lost me at calculus.
Now, the number two definition I have given a little credit for
them under logic, a particular method are actually mathematics
and logic, a particular method of, or system of calculation or
reasoning.
Reasoning, yeah, that's probably where it's getting it from.
Well, maybe I should just say my thinking on the matter,
because it sounds cool. You know, it's like, it's like point
of privilege. You gotta, you gotta use these things, man, you
gotta get
shows a female. There's a female senator from Nebraska. She's the
one who brings out and she's never been on TV before. She's
kind of a squawker. And she's moaning and groaning, and she's
the one who brings in the Russians, which has me skeptical
about everything. No us
boots on the ground at any kind of enterprise in Syria. Do you
agree with that? Is that taking it too far? I think the American
people don't want to see boots on the ground. As I said, we've
been in the conflicts in that region before we're not ready to
go back. We need to understand what the ramifications are. We
can say no boots on the ground. But what if Assad uses chemical
weapons? Again, how do we respond? It's happened 14 times.
We're just responding. Now. The British Prime Minister has said
this has happened 14 times. So why are we just responding? Now?
That's a question that needs to be answered as well.
So there is the give as you're trying to figure that out why it
didn't happen before. Have you ruled out in your mind that it
should happen
now? You know, I haven't ruled out anything. We're learning
more and more every day. We just heard from the Secretary of
Defense Secretary Hagel today that the Russians are supplying
chemical weapons to Syria. We didn't know that before. I've
gone through two conference calls briefings. I went through
a briefing with the Armed Services Committee this morning.
We just heard that today. So what else? Don't we know if the
Russians are involved in this? Are they supplying the Syrians
with chemical weapons? And what consequences are we going to see
from that action? How are they going to respond? If we go in
and attack Syria?
Wow, wait a minute, is she so? Is this part of the secret
information they got that the Russians are providing chemical
weapons? Can this really be the true information they received?
You know, I was thinking about this. There's two things that in
retrospect, I, when I made that clip, I didn't have your TAFTA
theory in mind. And this actually, I think the 14 attacks
that took place before kind of plays into your theory
perfectly, because the question is, he's been doing it all
along. Why why now? Which makes sense if you were thinking
about the, about the the TAFTA and the G 20. And
the G 20. Right, right. And but this thing about the Russians, I
here's what the problem I have with that is because I've never
heard this before. No, it came from Hegel's mouth. And I was
thinking about this. Hegel is possibly a pathological liar.
Well, yeah, I'm always on the lookout for pathological liars.
You see
him at I, I did not clip anything. There was a thing was
on C span video of him and he was at an Air Force base with
might have been Marines. And he's out on the tarmac and he's
trying to get everyone to go and yet like no one's doing it. And
they're just like ignoring him. You know, like we're the
teachers trying to get you to participate.
But oh, you go to a concert and they want you to sing right?
Yeah, right.
But he but he was not able to get it was the weirdest thing
and I think that this guy he may he might be just a hologram I
don't know if the guy is even even exists. But you hear him
talk English well, and he's a yes man. You can handle we refer
He's a moron. And but we already we already when he was being
confirmed in the Senate member when he screwed up his his
answer and he went back later and said like, what I really
meant is we love Israel, whatever the hell he said that
was wrong. And I think we assessed him right then it's
just a moron who was meant to get us into trouble. But the
Russian supplying the chemical weapons now, this the whole
chemical weapons thing, if that's the red herring, I think
you are right, you know, and this is I couldn't sleep last
night for at least half an hour. And thinking God Tim John is
right. You know, the whole idea is to just ruin all of the
Middle East ruin North Africa. Go just ruin it. You know, maybe
we can get the pipeline going from Qatar through, you know, up
up through Syria into Turkey. But I think it's a reboot. Yeah.
I mean, it's just, let's just make it all make it all flat and
dirty and dusty and horrible. And you know, the only thing we
have to look out for is so called pirates, as we have our
ships of gas going over to Europe, and going over to Japan,
that's the only thing really we have to worry about. And of
course, you know, that could be pirates is a big word. Right? It
could be. It could that could be the Russians could be anybody.
But this is this is it's so simple. And all of this. And by
the way, look what what has been achieved with with this, this
huge Syria thing? No one's talking about the NSA anymore.
No one's talking about Snowden. No, and it's, it's all off the
table. So it's, it's beautiful. The thing I'm worried about if
anything, is, you know, this is going to calm down a bit. We're
not, you know, they're gonna have to, like start distracting
us because they may not want to do anything. If we get the deal.
You know, then then maybe we don't want to make such a big,
big show of ruining Syria. We'll do it in another way.
Well, I mean, if you look at the videos from that area, it's
pretty ruined. The Damascus itself is in good shape. And
that has to be the last to go. So when is the summer What's the
date on it? It's
now it's starting now. I think it starts today. Because we
do still have our six week cycle with the upcoming Yeah.
And number 11. I know what else is annoying that Bashar Al Assad
born in 1965 on September 11, that's also kind of annoying.
One of these annoying things that you pick up along the way,
like really? Doesn't have to be like that.
Okay, here we go. So, here's the G 20. There's a webpage for
people to go to is g twenty.org. Putin has got to be beside
himself on this whole thing. I like him calling out Kerry as a
liar. Oh, yeah. But who he may be a pathological liar, too. I
mean, he, when he ran for president, I think they were
busting him on some of his assertions that were bullcrap.
How about here, check this out. This is. So here's the official
stance. So I think this is what what we're hearing from haiku
Harmon, who was, of course, the President of the United States
of Europe. Here's kind of his his vibe on this, on this whole
on this whole Syria thing, which is a little different than what
you know, you might want to hear if you're President Obama, but
maybe this is the whole reason why we're doing it
also say a few words on Syria. In the face of this cynical use
of weapons of mass destruction, the international community
cannot remain idle. We have to show that such crimes are
unacceptable and will not be tolerated, to show that that can
be knowing community and to prevent creating a dreadful
precedent for the use of chemical weapons in Syria again,
or elsewhere. Okay, so, so far, so good.
We hope a preliminary report of this first investigation could
be released as soon as possible. We urge the UN Security Council
to unite in its efforts to prevent any further chemical
attack. To that effect. We encourage the UN Security
Council to fulfill its responsibilities in line with
international law and take all initiatives to achieve this
goal. Finally, there is no military solution to the cerium
ah, whoa, hold
on a second. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, I think he has to
say that because when emitted just just take my theory. You
take my theory that it's all about the gas. And by the way,
how cruelly funny is it that that it's about gas and they're
actually using sarin gas? It's maybe it's just ironic, right?
We'll use some gas and
by the way, thinking about it, I would base we're gonna stay with
your theory we're gonna assume that this whole thing is just to
get some gas out of the country which is a depressed market.
Yes, it can hurting us it needs to go up to eight or nine bucks
and we'd still
be horrible 393 years I'm crazy. So anyway, let us stick with
this. I liked the theory because it had good does account for a
lot of things and it would also account for the following sense.
The British are given all this over so independent we voted if
Obama had it and the obviously involved in this would be the
Brits. So the So Cameron would agree or actually help submarine
it in Parliament, he would push it because he has to look good.
Oh, we got to do something and then it would get voted out
exactly. As part of the bigger scheme. So so the Brits are
still I don't watch Do you Brits are still our lap dogs? Oh yeah,
absolutely no donations coming in from the UK anymore. But but
that would because why would they not be our lap dogs they've
been our lap dogs as Tony Blair. And before
and if you and so it and I have a couple interesting Can you
turn your speaker's down just a tad John it's because of the
mumble it's coming back news out of the UK a quarter of the
inhabitants of the Isle of Britannia. And God known as
Gitmo nation, East a core 25% suffered unbearable cold during
the winter to save money on heating costs,
dry and now with global warming causing all these snow storms,
it's
getting worse. And then we have here's Gazprom and katooni, find
Dutch company, have signed a letter of intent to explore the
potential expansion of the Nord Stream pipeline to Britain. So
if you are running a country, and your people are cold, and
you know that the global cooling is coming, you don't want to be
hauled into one party you want to have, you have to have second
sources. And Putin is famous for turning it off in the winter,
like, Oh, really? I think I'm gonna turn off this pipeline.
We could get gas over there somehow. It would put would have
to lower the prices, well, as prime would have to lower the
prices, and which will, which will fit? Yeah, yeah. It would
pump up the economy of Europe. Yes. It would be a super it
would be a win. Yeah, I'd be great. So
here's legislation in Congress, this is House House Resolution.
House Resolution 2771. Let me see who introduced this thing.
Let me get the this as the this Act may be cited as the expedite
our economy act of 2013. This is introduced by Mr. Poe of Texas
for himself, Mr. Cardin and Mr. Olson. And the intention of this
bill is to repeal the requirements under the Natural
Gas Act for obtaining authorization for the
exportation of natural gas. Gee, that would be kind of handy to
have this bill password in it. And then and then have the three
no brainers we don't have a free trade agreement with Europe. I
thought it was like, don't we have that? No.
No, we've never had a free trade agreement with Europe. No. And
this
is the this is supposed to be the we, you know, people don't
know that people think. But we're buddies with Europe,
aren't we? No. Apparently not. I had no idea. I thought we had a
complete free trade agreement. Everything was copacetic.
Was having little little tips that she's TIFF, for example,
the wine tiff has always been one or another, right? Hey, you
can't have her cheese without paying extra.
It's extra stinky. You know, the
reason for free trade agreements is to reduce tariffs to zero,
right. So you there's no tariff, so you can just ship stuff over
there, you know, as fast as you can.
Right? No, tax. Right. Right. But even it's even so it's like
3%. I mean, most of its very low. But this is more about the
way I see it is. If we have that, then it removes the whole
reason the whole if we have the FTA then removes the whole
exploitation problem. So they're trying to attack it in multiple
ways. I'm looking at the G 20. So the G 20. officially started
starts today. No, yesterday, what's today, the fifth note
today. St. Petersburg key objective given the instability
in financial markets. I mean, let's just think about that.
Let's, let's look, analyze this for a second jump. If this
happens. The questions are one, what does it do for the United
States? Two, what does it do for the United States of Europe? And
three, how can we profit from it financially? You and I
personally?
Well, we could invest in some international banks. Yes,
actually, for us. And I think the general public, we just have
to live with the with the money, profits that plow back into the
economy. That's I don't think that we can get anything else
out of this.
There's nothing there's no stock. We I guess now it's such
a long game and such big money.
Maybe Horowitz would have an idea because I've noticed this
working with him. As I've invested on and off for years.
Right? How's
that worked out for you? Are you rich? Yes. No, of course not.
And the reason is, is because when somebody's in it full time,
and that's all they do, they start thinking differently,
right? And they'll think about three layers down. So you have
this is going to happen and that's going to affect this
company, this company and this company, but the real
beneficiaries this company three or four layers down which makes
all the valves Right. Right. Right, right.
Like so we'd have to look at something some company that
makes something for the because these are gonna be super mega
tankers that have to carry it could
be welding sticks.
Hey, welding sticks now. Some it used to be plastics now it's
wielding sticks okay as coral, but it's and we'll pass it on. I
think we should we should all be trying to benefit from this. But
yes, I and I'll just and this will be the last thing I'm gonna
say about it. I think it's a genius plan.
If Yeah, if I don't see any holes in your logic on this one.
And usually you do that for the gas getting loose. So I'm
wondering whether you're going to overthrow Assad, or maybe you
know, I was thinking about this a couple of times, if they're
going to want to dig it together launch at missiles or whatever
on the onto the Syrians. I was thinking this possibility. What
are they going to bomb it? They can't make it a big point. We're
only going to bomb one airport, I think. Yeah, I think they
probably drop a couple on the airport. But what about some
pipelines and some facilities? Some China things, some Russian
stuff? Yeah.
Well, that's all. Yeah, no, it's only it can only be pipelines.
Pipeline.
Infrastructure pipeline out. Yeah.
But see, but this, this is why I think, again, it's a double
whammy, because, you know, if if the pipelines get taken out,
then automatically gas prices go up. I mean, already, we're
seeing petroleum products price increase, just imagine you're
sitting in Europe, you're paying $15 per per million Btus. And
all sudden, it's going to 20. And guess what, it's September.
Now it we are going into autumn, and then winter, this could be
this could be a very, very cold, expensive winter for Europe.
Well, that which brings me to the price of oil. Actually,
natural gas right now is down to 359. Down to Yes, horrible
percent. It's horrible. But the price of crude oil is up to $108
crude oil should be around 40 bucks, no matter what anyone
likes to believe. It average is 40 bucks over the long haul and
it gets as low as 25. It's 108.
Yeah, so that's groovy.
You know, Eric Schmidt. I'm looking at a financial site,
Eric Schmidt and in Sergey, have been taking out. Well, just as
recently, August 28, Schmidt took out $73 million. And Brin
took out $71 million from the company.
Yeah, that's what you do when you know, you take it
off the table is called but Schmidt has been consistently
doing this. Let me take just I don't know we shouldn't be
talking tech on the show. But we can. Why who says can't do that?
I don't know. I'm just saying. So here it is. Let's take a
look. He sold $11 million on the 28th and he sold $73 million on
the same day to transactions I guess. Then he sold 6 million
then he sold 54 million then he sold 11 million then he sold 17
million then he sold 52 more million in July so 4 million 68
million. He's got what is this leftover? He's just selling like
crazy. Yeah. He's been selling like crazy since February 22.
When he sold 20 million
baby cash is king he knows what's coming he sees it he sees
it has definitely got a lot of cash on hand. Oh, this is what
you do when you look September is always a bad month for the
markets and you know it's a hedge you got October coming up
what are you going to want to do if at all if it comes tumbling
down and we don't get our Obama doesn't get his stuff done in
Europe? It all starts to fall apart and we've gotten nothing
Yeah, and then they're gonna put Larry Summers in charge which
will trigger the market to collapse in October
Yeah, I'm really I'm rooting for this FTA by the way, I'm all in
on it. I'm root I think I want it to happen. I genuinely just
want people to live a happy life. And you know screw screw
it if your faucets on fire fracking rocks. This is good.
Who cares if your water is is explosive. What else you're
gonna do?
Well, most of the stuff North Dakota nobody cares.
Yeah, well, but Texas is an interesting state because this
is where it's all going to be shipped from this is this is
headquarters of the stuff we're gonna have the big
orange, Texas wasn't it that's married on there. That's a
bottleneck it was exploited in the movie
that Rubicon oh the Yes.
At the very at the end of the movie.
Interesting. Yeah. The end of the series. Yeah the the
shipping lane or whatever. Right on that
people haven't seen this in our our movie guy should put To make
sure that episodes people go get it from Amazon if you have prime
you get a free to good story that teaches you a little bit of
something
I mean while there is other stuff going on in the world
ladies and gentlemen and it's back
hey when you want to wage war on somebody what you need is a
study and whether you're doing a study on chemical weapons or
whether you're doing a study on the future fan of families,
which was a study commissioned by PE t a PETA known as that
people's ethical treatment of animals. Let me tell you what's
going on. The latest scientific evidence John, evidence was
sciences shows that sons of pregnant women who consumed
chicken are more likely to have a smaller penis. What yes, if
you are pregnant and you eat chicken, specifically chicken
wings according to the study your unborn male child is more
likely to have a small penis
that was that explained the Japanese
do they eat a lot of chicken
No, that's the point
I'm just I'm just telling you the news
well that's the war on chicken I think I think you might be right
okay that's the best you can do
I got a better one just published in women's health
magazine by the way just know they just
trying to get killed chicken sales they want to eat more
beef.
Yes. War on chicken so I
one of our listeners sent this or one of our producers sent
this in and I couldn't I clipped from it. In Australia course
elections are coming up and you're gonna have some
commentary about
I have the same I wonder what you what you clipped from it.
You have a
clip I clipped where they just started. Kind of converging. I
just.
I did I did like maybe I have a better clip because I edited the
clip. And it's shorter.
Oh, I don't think that needed needed editing.
But you didn't have the whole thing with the guy. Did you?
There's only two pieces. No, no,
no, I just got the part. No, no, this stir beads. It takes three
minutes before they start to bicker.
I have a cut down to two clips 121 and 52 seconds. But okay,
I'll go with you.
Well, my clip has got more continuity. You don't even know.
Because this is Clive Palmer who's of the Palmer united
party.
And this morning for this is the guy who was bitching about to
Greenpeace being run by the Rockefeller Foundation. Remember
that?
Yeah. Yeah. He He's a character. He's like, it's almost a
billionaire. He's in a million mineral business. And he's, he's
one of these colorful guys. They have in Australia, we have very
few of these people. I mean, Donald Trump comes the closest.
So he's gets into a beef with the guy that today's show. Who
will I believe, by the way, the date? Today's show there is so
much different than our today's show. They're always they're a
little more. I think they're more aggressive as interviewers.
Well, not only that, but what I found funny in this clip, and a
number of people sent this to us at the end. They're like, Hey,
that was fun sparring. We did. Yeah. Okay. All right, buddy.
Take care. And they're all like, they're all like, good.
Yeah, I know, they enjoy this sort of thing. And in the United
States, everyone gets offended.
Yeah. And well, it's a scandal because we know how to promote
stuff.
Can you believe where does the most damage? It's all fixed.
It's all rigged. Exactly. So this is unrehearsed. So they get
into a little beef or anything and he keeps telling the guy to
bring up his game. And it starts with a discussion over the free
he's using his workers from his various corporations to man some
boots at an event for free, not worth paying them. And then he
was talking about other things, including the revelation that
that
don't listen to his fun. got the opportunity to listen, some
workers say they fear
Alright, now I'm going to play my opening clip first, because I
think the setup was important. What he said about Murdoch, it's
now considered
an outside chance to pick up a seat in the Senate. The leader
of the party, Clive Palmer, joins me now from the Sunshine
Coast. And he's talking
about the fact that he may pick one Senate seat because that's
what the polls indicate
beautiful sunshine coast club. Good morning to you. How
confident are you of that one Senate seat? Not very confident.
Okay. We're looking for about 10 Senate seats across Australia.
That's what our polls are telling us. You're just reading
the rubbish that Rupert Murdoch puts out with the he owns news
Polly owns Galaxy poll, and he said he's going to support Tony
Abbott as prime minister. He's sworn an oath of allegiance to a
foreign country. He's not an Australian citizen. He sends his
apparatchiks out here are also not Australian citizens to tell
his editors what to write. Sexy edited a Courier Mail, and 20
journalists around Australia We've got 150 candidates in
every State of the Commonwealth ready to go. And people realize
that the current tool is really so hopeless, you know, reds
gonna disaffection rating of 56%, Tony Abbott's got 48% So
let's get something going by Australians for a while Kevin
Rudd bought over a Barbas Media Team.
I thought that thought that was interesting. So, he's accusing
Murdoch of first of all rigging the polls because he owns the
polls. You know, he's, he's essentially he's defected from
Australia. True. He's, you know, he's gone. He's become an
American citizen. He says he's put in editors who are not
Australians into writing all the propaganda, and he's and he's
helped bring over Obama's media team to help Kevin Rudd Yeah, I
thought that was interesting.
It was interesting, but I believe that these consults
these American consultants have long since gone to Australia to
promote various individuals they get they're hired guns they get
hired. I don't think it was really anything overtly done by
us as a country okay. But anyway, so that that was good I
should have put it put that in but i all i will like was the
bickering sorry, here we go.
Got the opportunity there is. Some workers say they fear for
their jobs. In this instance, will they be satisfied at work
in the boom that's the problem for Australia, with Kevin Rudd
and Tony Abbott Abbott about to take $40 billion off the budget.
If you look at Steve Jobs executive to a whole different
category I'd call your lift lifted guy might get into a
national thing. Don't get down there with your employee. There
are your employees if they fear what their job looks Look, look,
look if I've done something illegal, go to the police maybe
talk about some decent stuff on your program. We'll go through
the floor we expect people to work this trip for free this
Saturday.
I can predicted coming John people emailing us hey man,
would you podcast lift your game? You guys are sucking on
that podcast. Lift your game make
Australians who will vote freely I don't want to pay anyone to
vote cow. Come on, get seriously
Oh at the front page of the Australian. The front page of
the Australian hasn't missed today. I'm sure you're aware of
Hadley Thomas a very well respected heavy Thomas writing
he says
today. Thomas is like black caviar with a broken leg. What
does that
mean? What did he say black caviar with
black or bad but I think it was black caviar with a broken leg
on Black Set me I don't
know if I'm looking at black caviar with a broken leg. This
is this is an A true Australian ism as if I've ever heard one.
Top Philly Oh, black caviar is a horse. Oh, it's very I'm
surprised you didn't know this. John.
I am too now that you mentioned it.
unbeaten Philly black caviar. Okay, you're looking at that?
Well, this is the
teachers working for repurpose it because he doesn't want to
get the sack the Australians got a newspaper Rupert's place and
have a look at the telegraph and you have a look at all the
editorials. Can you answer this accusation. So can you answer
can you add to some of these accusations that does running a
viable software acquisition? Sorry, anything from Headley
Thomas sorry that apparatchik of Rupert Murdoch, New York, this
is a great word opera. I think apparatchik is like the it's not
like the Russian
Yeah, it's a Russian stooge,
but the way he says it sounds like a like an Indian squab an
apparatchik. Anyway, he says it was weird.
Word. Murdoch's wife, Wendy Dunn is a Chinese spy across the
world, she's been spying on Rupert for years, giving money
back to Chinese intelligence. Read the truth about it. In
southern China, the truth I'm telling you the truth, Chinese
spy, that's why that's why Rupert Murdoch got rid of it.
And that's the truth. This guy wants to control Australian
policies standing up a Rupert Come on. He wants to control he
wants to control what you think. Have a look at your newspapers.
That's what he wants to do. And Kevin Rudd brings over Obama's
team to well, they're
just getting back into I thought that was phenomenal. And there
is some reporting on this. I'll be it, you know, sketchy. But
I'm down with it.
Didn't make sense. You
look at her. And you look at her history where she kind of
because it did kind of come out of nowhere. You just look at
her, you know that she is riding that rope or was riding that
Rupert rampant. You know, I can just see the guy going. I don't
care, whatever.
I'm having some fun here. So
we need a new jingle. George Clooney is a spy and soars
Rupert's wife. Totally as
she she actually, you know, we looked at the wife of, of this
character of Lincoln. Yeah, actually looks like only she's
Chinese she has a Chinese version.
Right? I think that's funny. I think I just, you know, how can
we can have that, you know, how come that we are the land of the
free home of the brave and, um, you know, we have all this free
speech. But what goes on in Australia on television that's
that is free speech mate.
Much more hilarious than what we have. Anyway, if you play the
rest of it could be also brings up bring up your game again.
I already dropped the clip. Yes. Okay.
I do have one little piece of local news I want to play just
to let you know why California is going broke play. The new
bridge opens.
Okay. Oh, yes. I've heard about this thing. Yes. Here we go. The
largest self
anchored suspension bridge in the world open for business in
San Francisco today. Vehicles began crossing the new section
of the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, some six years behind
schedule. The span cost $6,000,000,000.05 times more
than its original budget.
How much? What's more than its original budget? Five. Wow.
Wow, six years behind schedule five times the budget piece of
crap.
And isn't it all? Chinese steel?
Yeah, it's all in Chinese. It's all the money went to China.
Nice. Excellent. Good work. So
we got the first teaser, and it's gonna be coming up on
Saturday. I'm gonna make sure to watch it. The new PBS NewsHour,
their thing there. You know that Bill Gates and the Gates
Foundation?
Yeah, to recap the Gates Foundation. So the Gates
Foundation came into the PBS NewsHour and brought in several
million dollars on an per annum as long as they would do a, like
a medical update of science segment. And of course, that's
when the news our started, you know, covering Africa, and
basically anything that Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation wanted
them to cover. And this is it's not just me saying this. You can
you can read about this in the post mortem of the PBS NewsHour
show. And then, you know, essentially they went well, you
know, we're really we want to hip it up a bit. Because this is
what always this always happens. I've seen it happen with
nonprofits, where you have like a big, you know, the nonprofit
will have a fundraising event. And you have the you know, the
the top fundraiser, probably has, I am generalizing has a
trophy wife. And the trophy wives like we have to hit it up,
honey, we have to make it look a little better. And then
essentially, the big the big donors as well look, you know,
it's like my wife over here, the Chinese spy, she, you know, she
she wants to, like, let her let her let her organize the gala.
And that is how things start to suck. So they said we are not
going to put any more money into the news hour because it's
boring. Yeah, they
wanted to sex it up. They did make some changes. They colorize
the backgrounds a little bit instead of being the boring
blue, and they make JUDY WOODRUFF Blondie, more colorful
clothes. And that's about
it really is this is the promo.
Well, this is the promo for this weekend show, which they
insisted on doing and the theory is is that they're going to test
market the weekend show with this this guy's name I can never
pronounce but he's a he's the good looking multi CultI guy.
And he is going to do a jazzier version of the the weekday show.
And then I believe they're going to roll out the weekend show, as
the show eventually.
So this is a this is the promo
of the weekend show that Judy Woodruff announced on
yesterday's show,
and that's the news hour for tonight. But before we go, a
reminder, we have good news. If you're used to watching the PBS
NewsHour Monday through Friday, starting this weekend, you can
find a Saturdays and Sundays as well. PBS NewsHour Weekend
premieres this Saturday, September 7. Join HARI
SREENIVASAN for a 30 minute look at the top news stories with the
same in depth independent coverage you've come to expect
from the news hour. That's PBS newshour weekend. Primary right
here this Saturday. Check your local listings. I'm Judy
Woodruff.
Hello, yeah, hello. This is Bill Bill Gates. Yeah. We can't
pronounce the Harley colluvial Aggies name. You know, the new
guy, the multicounty guy. We need him to change his name.
Okay, your watch? Could be they're gonna fire him. possibly
get rid of him.
I don't know why didn't change his name and make it more easy
for people. Anyway, so this is It'll be the beginning of the
end for the news, which is kind of a shame because they do
actually cover the news. They bring people on and they chat
with them. And most of the time the guests are lame and doesn't
really do doesn't contribute anything. But at least they do
something. They just don't rattle off a bunch of little
short snippets, right. Anyway, that's your update for the day.
All right, I have a new jingle, which hopefully I'll be able to
use some time in. In November. Of course, now it's failing to
play here we go. It's another installment of with the That's
right, you know, with the robots, and I got an email
regarding the most recent dinner I thought maybe I'd shared with
the group. Yes, just from producer drew on liberal
protests. Because, you know, I was complaining that they didn't
seem to be much of a protest or vibe going on at all. Do you
words about American, particularly progressive apathy
made me think you'd appreciate an account of an event, which
I'm I don't think made any press anywhere. But a month ago,
another one of these country wide email lists, organized
protests with speakers and advanced reservations went down.
So I decided to see how the San Francisco hippies were taking
their glorious leaders betrayal. And also I wanted to hear Daniel
Ellsberg speak, who apparently was at the protest. Yeah. Are
you familiar with this protest? John, there was some protests,
I don't get the you know, it's like one of those things have
been taken off the mailing list.
Because this wasn't you know, it's in San Francisco is your
back,
I would have gone you should know.
The first thing I noticed when I showed up was a guy with a
clipboard, asking people to please give them their names and
email addresses this at a privacy rally. That is pretty
good. There was like there was even a suspiciously foppish Brit
telling everyone through a giant voice system. I think you can
trust these guys. And everybody laughed. It's the one thing I
don't have recording of that. I wish I did. Well, the speakers
ended up sucking this horrible woman whose only claim to fame
was having Eric Schwartz for a client until a yak he wasn't
anymore to nearly programmed the very white crowd with facts. Per
Big Finish was threatening to vote Pelosi out then a
documentary filmmaker was very nervous. The whistleblower from
AT and T basically said a lot of I told you so and Ellsberg
repeatedly propagated the myth you debunked regarding the
President's plane being forced down. very surreal. After that,
the protests was underway. First, the aforementioned
British person started handing out whistles to the assembled
crowd. Oh, nice. This was this made us all honorary
whistleblowers.
Oh, that's it. They're gonna use it like you do in Europe where
they just blow on these whistles.
You know, if you're a whistle blower if you blowing on the
whistle,
Oh, please.
down from the public square. We marched along the street, but
not in it, of course, blowing our whistles and chanting our
chants. These were also led by the Brit on the megaphone, which
was a huge mistake. He just did not have the voice for it.
Making matters worse. I don't know who actually came up with
the slogans but a few highlights include 2468 This is worse than
Watergate. And hey, NSA, stop your spying go away. No secret
laws, no secret courts, no secret surveillance, and my
favorite 1984 No more cutting stuff. We tramped right down on
the sidewalk, actually stopping for the effing traffic lights,
if you can believe it. Who the hell stops at traffic lights in
San Francisco anyway, we get down to Pelosi 's office and
it's closed because it's Sunday. This obviously could not have
escaped the notice of the organizers of the protest. But
they held it there anyway, they left a giant poster board for
people to write their comments on promised to hand delivered to
her in the morning. And that was it. Protest completed everybody
time to go home. And then one last thing they had everyone
take out their cell phones in order to take down Pelosi is DC
office number so that they could then call her the next day on a
bunch of retards. And that is the liberal protest the level of
liberal protests we're
seeing missed it.
You you could have been a part of it. John, you could have been
probably not
I think it was on Sunday. We did a show The Verge was still
closed. Just
like Sorry, sorry. No, I gotta I got an email where we go into
the donation segment that came in from one of our I'm not gonna
say who it is because I didn't get permission to say who it is
just one of our better producers. I've been watching
these presser is with Maria haar for
Oh my goodness. Oh, I know that email you talk of. You speak
about? Yes. Yes, he sent us a nice collage.
It's a very funny email. Thank you so much for turning me on to
that new drinking game. Every time she says broadly speaking,
you have to take a shot. If she could talk, stop talking for
long enough, I would fuck her. They put her in there because
they need someone that will speak in a really confusing way
and argue semantics ad nauseam. And at the end of the day, she
has not really said anything. And if she does screw up and say
something, it's wrapped in so much ridiculousness. You can't
trust it. She is perfect. She has a job for life.
Yeah, I agree. I think she is perfect.
I think she had notch now that I read this letter. I think she is
perfect. She had we we criticized her for being
incompetent. But perhaps that's exactly what she's supposed to
be doing.
And he sent us a collage of her like six or seven different
outfits and like, she has something weirdly attractive
about her, doesn't she?
Yeah, it didn't start with some of her looks. Yeah, the look
that she puts on a fake department with the schoolmarm
glasses and the stupid hairdo is she's very, I think she's
unattractive. But then if you look at some of her other looks
that she's done, she looks pretty good. So this whole thing
is rigged. I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
fun.
Read the first donation, which has no note and then I'll go get
the note for the second donation.
I may have the note. What do you have? What? What's What do we
have? I have a John Donovan's note I believe I think I
haven't. Yeah. Let me just double check because there was
emails to find. No, I
looked I did not see a John Donovan. No, no, I've been John
Donovan came in with $188.66.
I had I have the Jordan DeMoss note, which we had. And
did that one. Yeah. Okay. No, I don't care what we can't find a
note for you, John. But Chad Biederman did send in a tight
written letter. In the morning, Armand and Javier might read
like a drunk letter, but I'm not drunk. wanted to thank you for
the karma you gave me a couple of years ago for my cat, Mr.
Fokker? Oh, yeah, at the time, I seriously thought I was going to
have to put him down. But thanks to no agenda, karma, I found a
vet who found out what was wrong with him. He's still happy and
healthy to this day was happy and happy as my house cat can
ever be at least, had been doing the $4 a week donation for a
while, but I've been thinking about donating more for a while
now these things motivated me to get off my butt one seconds
before Adam played jingles of his choice on 541. I thought to
myself, I haven't heard the weekly hooker report anymore.
Imagine my surprise when Adam immediately played the obscure
jingle. I just thought of, obviously a sign for me to write
my check.
Interesting that there are people who actually think about
these things. Imagine my surprise,
yes. Let's see the show. 542 Right after 541. And like
another listener, I didn't want to be mistaken as French because
I didn't donate who likes the French nobody? Donation drop off
likely caused by the spam filtering changes by Google and
Yahoo. I use Yahoo mail but I have steadily received the no
agenda newsletters in my inbox despite your address not being
included in my contacts list. Go figure. I'm one of the lucky
ones. I have, however, noticed that the Marc Maron WTF
newsletters are being dumped in my spam folder. So definitely
something going on. And then he goes on with some other marks.
The Marc Maron podcast, by the way. He's high on the Obama bots
list. Oh, is it? Yes, it is a huge

Bloom. Bloom here notes and Eric told me to find the note. Here's
what I found. I've been noticed EVO says I've been donating for
quite some time now. $5 a month. As reality hit me that is only
three euros and 88 euro cents. That was too much of his Do for

them on a list dear out of my husband your boss made two
recent donations that no agenda show is Pay Pal name was
mentioned V V V V Low remember that one from Thursday? Yes, but
as no was not read. In fact, you asked John if there was a note
and he said no.
I have pasted the note below say with that game enthusiast.
I have pasted the note below. Could you guys deduce yourselves
by reading it in the next show? I'd love to Hello, Adam. John,
my American wife Tanya long and picture here at our wedding in
2009. No, that's one mother. I'd like to has her Fischer's big
opening as an artist as part of the rediscovery of the world
exhibit opening an Amsterdam at the house Marseille museum for
photography this coming Saturday. This is why it was
important that he wanted us to read this. That is Saturday the
seventh will be great to see some no agenda producers there
if they're in the area so a shout out will be greatly
appreciated by the both of us. We are tired of living the
starving artists dream of just getting by so here's the regular
promotion cetera et cetera, Kind Regards from use funfilled Tov
and Eindhoven the Netherlands PS other Norwegian and listeners in
the ICT joven best area should look me up at six sexy say Fei
Fei Fei Fei. Hello. There you go. Now was Tanya who was rather
upset that her husband's note wasn't wasn't a read. And then I
have we
also have a note from de Miller
do you get the one time like Yeah, yeah. In the morning when
I sent John has Afghan I encourage appreciate by the way
yeah, this is day melody lady, the lady of the loom who has
done Afghan for you and for Miss Mickey and I? I included a
letter which he apparently overlooked.
Yeah, so it sounds like
then I sent it again in an email when he thanked me for the
blanket. Again, I can only say I was only assume he overlooked
it. Here's a tip number three. Adam, I know I can count on you.
Didn't put that in there. But that's what he would think.
Yeah, I see that either. As an anniversary gift. I would like
to have my personal knight in shining armor Jim man award a
knighthood. In addition to seeing me through the cancer
treatment, he was also making the nine hour drive between
Shreveport and Atlanta, sometimes twice a week to see
his brother in ICU, who was not expected to live all of this and
traveling for work as well. He did this for three months of
great costs, financial, physical and mental and emotional. I'm
actually kind of emotional from reading this. A happily I'm in
remission, and his brother made a miraculous recovery. It's
deserved karma here beautiful. He has already met the
contribution level long before I manage it. But he'll never be
the one to seek the title. I can't access his accounting as
that will spoil the surprise. So I'm asking you to take the word
of a dame and I'll send the proof afterward. Thank you day
melody, Lady of the loo. Well, of course we first of all, we
trust you implicitly. And we'd love to tonight, Jim, and that
she didn't leave a Yeah. What do you want to want to be?
I would just make him Lord Jim Knight of the no agenda
roundtable. That's a beautiful story.
And yes, and that was very sweet. And then a little
troubling. From Christian from Berlin, Adam and John, the only
thing I use my PayPal account for is the subscription to no
agenda yesterday, I got this message. To keep our customers
secure, we regularly screen activity in the Pay Pal systems.
During a recent screening, we identified activity that may be
in violation of the United States regulation administered
by the Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign
Assets Control, o fac. Were committed to meeting the our
faces regulations, one regulations to ensure that our
customers are compliant with applicable laws and regulations,
including those set forth by the o fac. So they limited my
account until I send them an ID. Now, what I'm worried about here
is if he has only used this account to for the no agenda
subscription, are we now seen as a terrorist risk somehow?
No, this is funny, though, because what it indicates to me
and I've seen this happen before. People are trying to
send money from outside the country to the US have a right
which you would think which is good thing you think would be a
good thing, but they're blocking it. Why are they are they it's
not like people that some sleazeball in the US of A
shipping money to somebody in Somalia, right? This is money
coming in. This is net worth to the vet to the to the country,
it's like important. It's just baffling i It doesn't make any
sense whatsoever.
But I would more but really, it's like so they were we were
just regularly screening. So this is the kind of thing, this
is why privacy matters people. Okay. So it could it could this,
this email could easily have been, hey, we're at Google. And
we were just doing one of our regular screenings through your
email. And we saw these words that we thought were like, kind
of a little off and weird. So just to make sure that you're
protected. We've sent it over to the FBI. It's the same thing.
It's exactly the same thing. So don't worry about your privacy
or anything like that. But we so we have a couple of so we have
to we have we're going to night, Jim man. And of course, we
proudly give Jordan DeMoss his Lord of the Admiralty and
Baronet of the breweries title, and we appreciate your support.
Please continue to support us on Sunday. We'd have to figure out
if we can do anything about the Ark connection and stuff that's
been kind of weird for the past few weeks. Or slash a what do
you think? No, no has to be the.org/and A

a challenging day so far.
It happens once in a while. people support us even more.
Yeah,
but we're gonna happen. I don't know what to do. I don't know
what to do. That's my problem. I just know what to do about it.
Happy New Year after having
checked it with the pings and dings and all the rest of it. I
bet you there is something going on between these two systems.
Ah, that's not so unsurprising. I mean, they're both there. Both
cable companies, you know, their ditch diggers used to say, back
in the day when MTV in the early days, we'd have to. So this is
1987 1988 we had just gotten on to basic cable, and it was touch
and go, because you'll remember when cable came around John,
people to television industry laughed at it. They were like,
if this is not real, advertisers didn't know how to advertise.
And you know, no one could figure out exactly what it was.
It was very strange,
right? And when it began, it used to be called community
television. TV Exactly. See, it wasn't even the cable industry
was the guys who had out in the suburbs were trying to get a
better signal from you know, so they put up these big, you know,
these big receivers and then they would send the cable signal
to the locals, they would you get a really good signal when
you're in a fringe area. That was the original idea.
Yeah. And these guys, there were tons of them. They had their
little, little networks, and there were bigger ones and
smaller ones. And they've all since been rolled up into these
couple of conglomerates, but back in the day would talk about
them as ditch diggers and ditch diggers but then we'd have to go
out and blow them to make sure they kept us on on kept kept our
signal on. And so now you know the the mentality is still I
think it's still ditch digger mentality this data No,
there's still the tail wagging the dog where the the TV
stations will say guy can you put us on your thing? Please,
please, please, we'll give you money if you carry us right. And
then then a switched around with a cable company saying hey, I
want to know if you pay us we'll put you on
right all right, all right. And now you know they run the
infrastructure. And so we've got a crappy cable system running
your internet and I've got a crappy although I've been
generally happy but they still have to connect somewhere and
our connection has not been groovy
know that you're breaking up now.
Yeah, so I think what I'm gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to
find I have to proxy out somehow and we'll figure so it's been
like this for a month so the and by the way, they do this to
their customers all the time. He a witness to the business class
No, but no, no, not forget that witness Time Warner, my cable
company who just said screw you customers. We're taking CBS and
Showtime off RT off our system. We don't care which is
ludicrous. It is back now. But we don't care what you want to
watch. So they may be in some kind of tiff over peering with
the Comcast who knows maybe one of our SIS admins or network
admins can tell us and can really help us out. In fact, we
shouldn't be able to, you know, we should have sis admins who
can help us with private routing. I'm telling you this
can be done. At the BGP level we can have some kind of just for
us even it can be done. It's funny how there's never a cool
sysadmin working at Time Warner Cable who would send us an email
you think there's some guys go through there but they never
stick around? It must be boring. Must
be horrible. Yeah, well, we'll see. We'll see what we can do.
We're gonna have to fix it one way or the other or we just quit
the show because it's not really working.
I think we go broke
quite rapidly. Yes. What you got here, Johnny Boy I got I got
maybe one or two things we spend a lot of time Well there's the
Wiener meltdown. Of course everyone saw this. Did you see
it? Yeah, yeah, leave that for what it is. I thought you
know, I didn't think the Wiener thing in the you're talking
about him doing the Caribbean accent?
No, I'm talking about him yelling at the he had got into a
verbal fight at a deli in New York.
Oh you know, I didn't never got to see that. I think you should
play it oh
wants to know what's that? What's that you want to like
walk out you're saying it That's courage. That's courage. You
wait till I walk out to take
a nerf you're a perfect judge but I tell you that I didn't do
my job. You're fine. You got your promise was down to the
public. That's up to you to judge my time. Yes, I don't take
my choices for you and this goes on for like two and a half
minutes where it's this guy saying Look you're just douche
essentially you saying you're scumbag I think is what he said.
And wiener kept saying you know you don't judge me that your
rabbi tell you to judge me and of course is Rosh HaShana. You
know so this is all this is like. This is like Jews at their
worst in a deli in a deli one Jew yelling at another Jew. And
it's just it's it is it is so it's like a train wreck. It is
is a total what? What do we put in the book for when he kills
himself wiener?
Oh, we don't have a date. We don't have a date we do have
ended before the end of the year that you sent me.
I mean, it's so it's leading
up to it because he doesn't have he's off the rails.
I mean, this is one of those things one of these fights you
just don't have if you are no you walk. Yeah, of course it
was. It's really like, Oh my gosh. And he's just everyone's
just deserted the guy. I mean, he's got intern showing up to
rallies to make it look like somebody's there. It's it's
really intensely sad. I'll have to say, Boy, I'm I'm really with
the New World Order today. I'm liking the President I find
wiener sad. I
don't know what to do with myself. You've been drugged my
friend. Drug?
I'm telling you miss Mickey has drugged me and I have not. I
have not recovered. All right, I do have here you go. This was
this is this was a little little tidbit that I wanted to pick up
on. I'm sure you've heard about although it's hard to get any
other kind of news other than the you know, the we're gonna
are we gonna kill people in Syria or not. But I have a
little bit of data on another one of these Faker Shima
reports.
Now will that go back to events in the Middle East a little bit
later on in the program. In the meantime, we've got some news
just coming in from Japan, where the radiation reading at a water
tank at the ruined Fukushima nuclear power plant has risen by
18 times. Now on Saturday, yesterday, the level of
radiation near the bottom of the tank was strong enough to kill
an exposed person in four hours. The operator of the plant TEPCO
has said that a new leaks been detected from a pipe connecting
to other tanks. So they
interrupted the BBC News to bring you this breaking report
that there's radiation that can kill a person within four hours.
And what happened. Apparently, they were only measuring one
millisievert per hour 100 millisieverts per hour, but they
were using an old fashioned detector. And it only went to
100, when they got one that went to 11 or whatever, it turns out,
it was 1800 millisieverts per hour 18 times. Now, here is the
problem that was not reported as the measure dose rate was 100%
beta radiation measured at a distance of 70 micrometers from
the radioactive material. beta radiation can be shielded by a
piece of paper and only travels about one to two meters in dry
air. So yeah, if you took that it wasn't a puddle, if you put
your face in the puddle, licked it for four hours, you might get
sick. But the BBC has to propagandize this as some huge
thing. And it's just more disinformation, setting us up
for more gas usage. Essentially. I need a jingle for this fake
Kashima stuff.
I think that you've now by doing going, going back to the well on
Fukushima, and actually becoming an Obama but literally on the
show. When I'm fighting the other stuff, the other one you
mentioned. What it's like, I don't know what's happened.
But wait a minute, I'm going I'm going back to the well saying
that this is bullcrap.
Yeah. But it's like you you're you're compounding your your
position on these things. It's just like, this is not the Adam
we expected but the flying saucers and the cars that run on
water. And some of these other crazy things. Well, wait a
minute. I want the car on water back to that.
No, I want I want my pickup truck to run on wood. That's
what I want the guests.
You know, you could probably work that out. I mean, there was
a lot of cars that were running on wood. You have to have a
fireman in the back.
I'm sorry. Well, I'll tell you what, then why don't we just
quit quit while we're ahead. Alright, let's pay attention to
see what happens with with the G 20. With we probably won't get
much before I would be surprised if we were dropping bombs by
Sunday. Let's see what happens on the let's see the 11th is
Tuesday.
Yeah, okay, well see what that's going to be a something's gonna
go on. It's expected by then. Yes. You can play the little
clip by for people who want to record these things. I did. I
was watching the Bob's a Bond movie and I got this. I've
always wanted to get this clip because it's always been funny.
You put that at the end of the show and
Okay, if I could see which one it was.
It's called My Martini is still dry. All right, very famous clip
from one of the bond attempts to Well, guess what it is? And
can't think of anything else.
All right. Coming to you know, there's something we're
forgetting, probably. But we'll figure it out on Sunday. We'll
be here. Remember us to vorak.org/na Thanks for hanging
in there, chat room. Coming to you from Austin Tejas in the
morning. I'm Adam curry,
