I can't believe that this thing doesn't work for shit. No, I'm
not ready. I gotta admit, I have to blow up my browser because
damn Twitter fucked me over. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It is August 6 2009. Time for your gizmo nation audio
publication episode number 119.
This is no agenda and coming to you from the minimum
security containment selling Gitmo nation West's under threat
of eminent domain demolition. In San Francisco, California. I'm
Adam curry.
And from Silicon Valley north, the lovely Silicon Valley north.
I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
Hey, can you tell I got it back. I got it back, baby.
Can you been up all night last a couple of days ago? Yeah. No,
well, yeah, that too, but I'm actually talking about my my
fader Fox MIDI controller. I got a new one. It's working.
Well, so somebody in Texas sent it to what?
It's a half it was Texas. It's a What's the name of the of the
strikes. I want to thank that guy. One of our producers sent a
sent me an email saying hey, Adam, you know, you don't have
to go all the way to Germany to get the fader Fox. There's
apparently a couple outfits in the States. This one's actually
from San Francisco. Robots speak. That's the name of the
store. And who was it that sent the email to me? F Shin Pete No
pee shin. Yeah, it's it's in San Francisco.
All that work? Yeah.
So I'm happy I got a brand new fader Fox. It's working like a
champ.
Yes. Show us your chops. Give us a sound effect.
You hear me fading?
Yeah, you were going in and out and making it sound like crap.
Yeah, I heard
now say something. Say something. Help people. I'd
worked. I can fade you away. Perfect. I have control.
Yeah. Well, that's the that's the disadvantage of the show.
So I take I take all of the production upon me. Yeah.
So what do you got this week? Adam, I got a few clips we can
play.
Yeah, we can do clips. We could also launch right into it with
with just an amazing new company, which I learned about
which is like a total Apple type company only it's a subsidiary a
wholly owned subsidiary. So did you see that email came in this
morning?
I know I didn't. I missed it at 1am on that email now. Should I
go look for it?
No, no, no, no, this is from one of our from one of our producers
from Joe Carlson. And bringing up his email now he lives in LA
we all do these these billboards. Judge one of my
bloggers. Oh, really? Oh, cool. Okay, well, he sent us a link to
icorn.com I would really appreciate you looking@icorn.com
John.
Yeah. Isn't that a hoax? No.
Is that a hoax?
I get the feeling it is yeah.
Really? I mean, it looks just it's very very, very elaborate
for that to be a hoax.
And you take a look.
So this is if that's a hoax, then then it's a really good one
and I deserve to be slapped for it. Introducing icorn well,
maybe it is a hoax. Now, man, this is like, gosh, let me see.
Contact us. Let me see if there's real contact information
here. It's very elaborate. Anyway, I corn appears to be a
company that sells genetically modified soybeans and corn. Are
you still there?
Yeah, no, I'm reading this thing. Now. I'm looking at this
guy. The OSU connection, which by the way, is the colours of
the icorn logo, Oregon State, which apparently is is basically
in bed with Monsanto. Yeah. Hey, we got some email from somebody
with some, which I'll have to dig up for a future show that
has a lot of documentation about that.
Well, I'm just looking at all these different products and
they all have interesting, interesting names, like 103 dot
VT six, it has the maturity date, description,
if you will, maybe it's just shot Maybe it's like a if you
look at the people behind icorn these four guys and a girl these
four guys that were in the exact same shirt
you're right, we're looking at they've got their corporate
office there. I mean, that's it's way too elaborate. John,
this is how crazy it's become with these Monsanto fuckers is
they now have companies with interactive, you know, web 2.0
names like icorn and they're selling you know, this
genetically modified strains of have corn and soybean and and it
looks so crazy that you can't believe it's actually true but I
think it is.
Yeah, you might be right. I don't want finding the earmarks
of a hoax.
Here's the one Oh 4.7 R which is known as the Oh, I love this
hold on. They call it the Roundup Ready corn. maturity,
it's new by the way,
you know, how much did how much? How much how many weeds? Do you
need to put out any corn grows so fast and grow so tall that
there's no weeds that can compete with it corn is
a weed, but just listen to how they listen to how you that's
interesting that you say that the corn is a weed.
Well, I mean, it's a grass, but it's a weed ish kind of thing. I
mean, it's like grows like a weed. It's a nuisance.
So this is Roundup Ready, which I guess means it can resist
round up. Yeah, so 104 Dots, seven hours a new 104 Day
Roundup Ready corn two that has excellent agronomics and is a
great fit on variable soil fields medium and like textured
soils that it's so it matures in exactly 104 days. I mean, this
shit is science fiction.
So this is cool. This company's out of Cicero Indiana actually,
at least that's where they're registered. If you look into the
domain name my registration
you're already one step ahead of me, but just if this is creepy,
man, it's creepy and they have so they have corn that'll mature
in 107 days. 109 days I mean, it's not shit supposed to be
kind of like natural and it's just like 100 between 100 and
120 days and now they've gotten down to an absolute
no, I can't get worked up about I don't eat that much corn.
Yeah, you don't eat any meat that has been
bred on ya. I actually would like to just only eat grass fed.
That's my point. Exactly.
I mean, I don't want to get I mean this stuff is probably
Yeah, who knows? I mean, I You caught me off guard with off to
look into icorn and see what they're doing.
It's elaborate. If it's a hoax, it's way elaborate.
I don't think it's a hoax at this point.
Sorry. Yeah. And it's and it's freaking me out it really Intel
is freaking me out and let's get to your sound clips then that'll
make me
do a couple of little lightweight ones here. I want to
do the
Ministry of Truth.
The propaganda yeah the Ministry of Truth. Well okay, let's run
the Ministry of Truth You got to set it up properly. Okay, so
apparently there's a bunch of weird Ministry of Truth stuff
coming out by the way and there's an email I also got
pulled in here from Tom McMahon. I'm just gonna read part of this
here. There's a lot of disinformation about health
insurance reform it's out there blah blah blah. So the White
House you know has a new policy if you go to
whitehouse.gov/blog/facts are stubborn things. That turns out
the White House is now asking you if you get an email or see
something on the web about health insurance reform, that
seems fishy, yeah, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov
so we can go and nuke that person.
Basically, yeah. So now they have a propaganda minister are
working on it. I guess they have one for each new one any one of
these initiatives? But let's listen to Propaganda Ministry
one clip one. mp3 that's on
your Douglas. I'm the Communications Director for the
White House Office of Health Reform. One of my job's is to
keep track of all the disinformation that's out there
about I
love that the disinformation that's out there, it's my job at
the Ministry of Truth,
health insurance reform. And there are a lot of very
deceiving headlines out there right now, such as this one.
Take a look at this one.
Now, what you don't see of course, because you're listening
to us, she actually shows a link on an on Drudge Report.
Yeah, this one says uncovered video, Obama explains how his
health care plan will eliminate private insurance. Well, nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Okay, okay. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Let's
play this step playing the short one, which is Propaganda
Ministry to play pop Propaganda Ministry to dash long, this
incorporates the the video that there was uncovered spin on a
number of sites. You told me listen to this and tell me that
how does this nothing further from the truth? I mean, I mean,
what she said just bold, you're gonna play long, long or short,
that played along
amendment is to make sure that we've got universal health care
for all Americans. By the end of my first term as President, I
would hope that we kind of set up a system that allows those
who can go through their employer to access a federal
system or a state pool of some sort, but I don't think we're
going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately.
potentially some transition process division a decade, or 15
years out or 20 years.
I don't think we can eliminate employer insurance immediately.
It's exact what he's doing, he just said it there.
Yeah, I know, what is she talking about? Was this part
of her clip? No, no
she did this was pieced together. Everybody's done this
a little differently. Her clip what she never showed the clip?
No, no, she just said it's not true. And what my take away by
the way, because I had a couple of different we pulled the same
clips essentially, she goes on to say, what people do is they
take little clips and pull them out of context and then post it
in a in a form that makes it seem to support their lies. And
then she subsequently goes on to show a couple of clips out of
context to support her story. It's exactly what she's doing.
It's unbelievable. She's not she's no good at this.
So we play the shorter clip. Now,
the shorter clip is just essentially an excerpt from that
long clip. That play Let's see, oh, he Okay, let's
let me just stay with that for one second. And you have to go
look in the end, at this link in the show notes that no agenda
show.com Or no agenda.squarespace.com. And
you'll see that she is literally saying, hey, you know, first of
all, you've got to report on all these evil people who are
disseminating lies. So that's like tattletaling You know, this
is like, you gotta be a tattletale. Scary, scary shit.
And I love the email address. flag@whitehouse.gov By the way,
Colette, please send the show to flag@whitehouse.gov It'll do him
good to listen to us.
And that's a great idea, because that way, they'll have to listen
to us. Anyway, we'll do anything we can to get another listener.
Wait a minute, let's make sure we get their attention jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
Okay, that should do it. People at the office are literally
screaming that in the hallways now. I'm good morning lead for
jobs. They're also happy they have a job. All right. I like
your clips. John, what else you got? Rockin?
Well, you know, we just touch on the Sotomayor thing. It's kind
of interesting, because of the left wing talk show hosts are
jumping all over, you know, the one or two guys that you're
going to vote against Sotomayor, which is very rare for any way
to do that, because it's like, it's a done deal. So why? So
they just make it look like they just hate to hate Hispanics,
they hate the Latinos are a bunch of creepy, you know,
Republicans and they go on and on and on and on. And that then
the most interesting clip I ran into was a testimony that Orrin
Hatch gave before the Senate. And it was actually very long
and I only took a small part of it. And I also cut the pauses
out by hands those
his pauses are damn long. Oh,
terrible. So I had to cut it. So I cut it down and still have
pauses was not as bad. But anyway, so he pointed out the
fact he actually supported her at the beginning. And then when
he grilled her at the one of the hearings, he found her to be a
little bit smug and disingenuous and wouldn't answer some
questions that weren't that hard to answer. And I look at watch
her back and she is very smug. But you know, I think she'll be
taken down a peg or two when she actually becomes a court member.
But he pointed out that she's you know, she's really not as
supportive of individual rights. She thinks the Second Amendment
is bogus food, nobody needs to carry gun gun so they just ban
them all. She hasn't much for freedom of speech. And then when
it comes to property rights, he's got this story to tell and
I thought this was just pathetic,
likewise gave short shrift to the fundamental right to private
property. It's an express right in the Constitution and didn't
versus Village of Port Chester, Judge sedima your firm dismissal
of the property owners lawsuit after the village condemned this
property and gave it to a developer. The Supreme Court
incorrectly in my view had previously held and kilo versus
City of New London, that economic development can
constitute the public use of which the Fifth Amendment allows
the taking of private property.
This is what I'm dealing with eminent domain, right.
Exactly. This is an eminent and eminent domain thing but this
kid's specific situation which he he bitches about the general
eminent domain laws but this specific thing with her is makes
her look like a just a hanging judge that is that is horrible
and endearing. However, the village had only announced a
general plan for economic development. No taking off
anyone's property had occurred. Mr. Didn't sued only after the
village actually took his property. Yet and another
cursory opinion that for some reason took more than a year to
produce Gen cinema yard denied Mr. Didn't even a chance to
argue his case. She said that the three year period for filing
sued began not when the village actually took his property. But
when the village earlier had merely announced its general
development plan. In other words, Mr. Didn't should have
sued Over the taking of his property before his property had
been taken. But had he done so then he would certainly have
been denied his day in court because his legal rights had not
yet been violated. This catch 22 amounts to a case of dismissed
if he did, and dismissed if he did not. Once again, John
Sotomayor gave inadequate protection to a fundamental
constitutional right.
Yeah, yeah, that doesn't surprise me. And she's, she's
obviously in on the game. She's on the inside. She knows what to
do.
But I find it distressing that story in particular, because
that is just an example of the judiciary run amok. It's unfair,
it's totally unfair. I mean, the guy obviously, and less, are
hatches full of crap and made the story up.
Well, you know, I don't think many people know but it's my
understanding that you don't actually own your property
anyway, which is the whole reasoning behind property taxes,
you don't actually own the ground, you own your own real
estate,
which is on the ground, you don't necessarily own the
mineral rights.
Mineral, are you sure that you're absolutely sure that you
own the ground? Well, first of all, you don't because it can be
taken away under eminent domain. So you don't,
they can't just casually take it away under eminent domain.
Apparently, they can apparently do but they're not supposed to.
Do you got judges like her? Yeah.
It's also my understanding, John, that this is I've seen,
I've seen a lecture once. It was a really long, boring lecture.
And some guy was explaining a professor was explaining how you
don't actually own your automobile. Have you ever heard
of this? Because you get a title, but that's not actually
an ownership paper.
Well, I can buy it and sell it as far as I'm concerned. That's
ownership. Yeah.
Dude, dude, dude, everyone have a drink? Did you see that video,
the YouTube clip of them toward basically destroying the Volvo.
That's been
I actually have it in my box, but I haven't checked it out.
It's it's fantastic. And this is when we're talking about the the
cash for clunkers bill. On the last show, and by the way, the
day after, or the same day that we think was the Sunday New York
Times I'm reading this, you know, page 18, of course, that
many, many auto dealers are freaked out because, you know,
basically the plan ran out of money, they still are trying to
collect their four and a half $1,000 per per destroyed
automobile from the from the government coffers, and they
don't know if they're gonna get money and so now you see all
these disclaimers on their cash for clunkers ads on television,
you know, basically saying as long as supply lasts as long as
government funding is still there, so So you know that
they're not even that many dealers are no longer even
participating because they don't know if the money is going to be
there. They had this rush $2 billion extra allotment of money
that they I think it passed the House. I'm not sure if it's
through the Senate yet. But you see this video and you see all
these cars lined up these perfectly as far as I'm
concerned. I mean, I take this this Volvo that was sitting
there I take it right off this guy's hands, no problem. In
fact, it's probably worth four and a half grand. And they pour
some kind of sulfuric acid onto the engine and they sit there
they gun the engine for about seven minutes until it just
dies.
So what was the point of this is when you
look at it when you see this destruction taking place, it
feels really wrong. It's the video it's one of these magical
video moments
that says what is the point who's doing it and why?
Well, there's we've talked about this too there's there's many
theories I don't know what's happening all over the world,
every country seems to have their cash for clunkers
programme and
you know, but what is the point of put of ruining taking this
car and not just sending it to the normal junkyard and scratch
and smashing it and that's the end of it.
I don't know John it was it your assertion was it was to buy
American automobiles I don't know. I mean, it makes no sense
that because they're doing this and in the Netherlands and the
United I'm
not talking about that I'm talking about the purpose of the
video
the purpose of the video is just a someone videotaped these guys
destroying these cars these guys I would say the dealership who's
responded dealerships don't do that doesn't know what they know
the dealer sells it to or you know sells it to the scrap guys
and the scrap guys have to get rid of it. So I'm sure since the
scrap guys you can see you see in the video you see all these
cars lined up all the hoods are open and one by one they're
pouring sulfuric acid or whatever acid onto the engine.
That gun
is what I understand and details.
But it's light on your watch. That's my point. You look at it.
This video hits you right in the gut. It feels horrible to see
this. It's almost like watching someone put a dog down. He's
like yeah, no, I
understand what you're saying. You're saying it seems like a
waste of resources to take a perfectly good automobile and
scrap it in this manner at our
cost. Yes.
But the Last time I looked, and I used to inspect Schnitzer
steel, which was, which is a recycling company. Hank Rearden
metal? Yes. Rearden metal? Of course, it's not the way they do
it, but
okay. I'm waiting.
It's just that it just seems like the thing was, it just
seems like a really I, I have to go look at it now, because it
seems like it was just rigged for effect. The video? Yeah. I'm
just saying because I mean, it just the whole thing, there's
just something doesn't add up. And I noticed that the right
wing is extremely against the cash cash for clunkers name,
because they don't like the idea of giving money away. And they
specifically unless there's two bankers, they specifically don't
like the idea that this actually resulted in a, I guess, a
quarter of a million cars sold. And, like instantly, and so
they've been against it like, and they don't like the idea of
it another 2 billion going into it personally, that their money,
as far as I'm concerned is still coming from the same pot. And
I'd rather see it going to John's
it should be going into jobs. John is not what was promised
jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs, let's vote for jobs.
circulating a billion dollars worth of money into the private
sector by buying and selling cars is contributing to jobs not
contributing to the manufacturing, although it's
keeping the car companies going. So I don't think it's not going
to jobs. I mean, it sure is more than giving a trillion dollars
to bankers so they can keep their bonuses.
Well, along these lines, of course, we have the awesome
recovery.gov. And I think we should probably touch briefly on
the $18 million contract. But I went there yesterday on my smoke
break at the office. And there's a there's a new feature on the
side, John. And what might this be? It's the chairman's corner.
And this is a little blurb written by Earl Earl, who is the
chairman of a the recovery.gov. And first of all
this, did they have to pay another 18 million to get this
guy signed up?
Well, it's part of the 2.0 initiative. But what are the two
things caught my eye? First of all, I have a feeling that
whoever writes stuff coming out of the White House is it's the
same guy. You know, because halfway down this page, if you
go to the chairman's corner, you know, he's like under a separate
contract. So of course, he's actually he's talking about the
website, under a separate contract awarded by the General
Services Administration, we're working with a new design team
to upgrade recovery.gov to a web 2.0 site, which by the way,
costs about $80 million. That is a second generation website that
will be user friendly, interactive, and provide you
with state of the art mapping technologies that will improve
your understanding of the data we are displaying. And here it
comes. Let me be clear colon, we will be displaying vast amounts
of data. This let me be clear thing, it's like it's a giveaway
that it's the same person or the same department writing this
shit. It can't just be a meme that everyone's latched on to so
crazily, where am I am I out of control? I am
not going to argue the point. So So these things, you can run a
you can run analysis on some of this stuff, and you can almost
pinpoint who it is is writing it. But obviously this guy's
not. Unless he says let me be clear. I mean, if you keep
hearing it enough, and they'll obviously they're saying they
are saying it a lot. I mean, Obama says it constantly. So
there's there's a couple of let me be clear, as opposed to what.
So there's a couple of things he mentions, he mentions another
new site, we need to look at John, federal reporting.gov,
which I encourage you to go to the site is is basically one
page. And it says the online recipient reporting tool is
expected to be available for the quarterly report due October
10 2009. It's got its what it's an online portal, apparently,
for contractors and grant recipients to report their
spending of the money. Of course, this is not you know,
it's all like opt in, hey, I got my money. I might as well go to
that website and put some numbers in there. But it's
pretty interesting federal con, it says right here on this page.
Federal contractors are not required to report on July 10.
And there's all these federal register laws and regulations.
It's you know, it doesn't seem like the reporting is quite as
transparent as its as it was made out to be. And then there's
this whole thing if you go back to the to the chairman's corner
this the last paragraph citizen IGS Help Wanted And it's about
the analysis of how your money is being spent. That analysis is
vitally important to us here at the Recovery Board. I like to
think of the many millions of Americans who visit recovery.gov
as citizen IGS investigators who will help us find irregularities
and possible misdeeds. So, citizen citizen IG Dvorak, we've
been on a little bit of a quest, haven't we?
I have to say, but you know, if we're going to do that kind of
investigation, let's go to muckety muck which is
interrelations between people and we put in Earl Delaney, who
is who we're talking about. Yeah. Map of rural Divina
relationships is interactive, you can move around. So his main
connections are use of Department of Interior, the
Recovery Act, transparency and accountability board, the US
Environmental Protection Agency somehow Jack Abram Hof. Hey, the
Minerals Management and service investigation and the US Secret
Service. So awesome. What his relationship to Abraham was, he
investigated him. He's a cop.
Yeah, they're all cops. They're all Well, and, and the idea, of
course, it's okay that, you know, we want oversight done by
people who have some investigative background. But
wouldn't you want more like a regulator?
No, I mean, even an investigator? I mean, he's a
secret ex Secret Service agent? Is that what it is, I guess? And
I miss what it says on MCC. And he says he was an agent there.
So that is out isn't? Was he an investigative agent and as an
investigator is that make him a manager? I mean, I'm just not
getting this.
Well, of course, our producer, John stek, who has just been on
fire lately, has, has really been getting all of the
documentation. On the smart tronics, the company that was
contracted for $80 million to build this interactive new
design. And I, you know, I looked at the PDFs, and
everything has been taken out. It's all redacted. It's like
pages and pages of black which exactly the parts where it says
how the money's being spent. I don't understand. And then it's
all under the guise of, well, you know, we don't want these
companies have to give up competitive information about
how they build a fucking website. Yeah, please. It's,
it's, it's, it's messed up. Let's see, here's, here's the
quote. Well, here's
the funny thing I did have a bite Law sent me this quote that
devanney gave when he was Inspector General, I guess
investigating the Department of Interior short, of course, short
of crime, anything goes at the highest levels of the department
interior declared Url domain, this was a New York Times
article. So I'm thinking, well, maybe he's taking a hint.
Because it sounds to me as though we're spending eight to
$10 million dollars for a $500,000 Max. Website is
anything goes. So we just get ease as well. You know, I just
watched I looked around, I saw that Department of Interior.
Anything goes, well, let's go for it. Yeah, I bet he goes
around in a limo.
Anyway, all of these links, the PDF, everything, it's all in the
shownotes that no agenda.squarespace.com. And
you'll see the proposal, which I read, which they were awarded
this $80 million contract on nine, 9 million to start with in
phase one, which is guaranteed another nine if they continue,
I've written these proposals myself. It's it's almost a
template, you know, yeah, we'll have secure backups off Site
Backups, you know, we'll have and by the way, the government
is providing all of this, they're providing the server
facility, they're providing the conductivity. So these guys do
not ruin anything, they're walking a server in. And then
like all and we're providing these awesome, data's, you know,
huge data feeds like RSS and Atom so that citizens can
provide mashups of complex data structures. It's like blah,
blah, blah. And we wrote that in 1998. Except we could never get
more than like, half a million for it, which, by the way, was
outrageous at the time to I'll be I'll be very honest about
that. But 18 million, it's just it's messed up.
And well, nobody's calling him on it except us. Yeah, nobody
cares. If we're gonna go to the stupid to government sites. I
think we have to immediately jump to this one. Okay. h h, h,
or h. h. s.gov. Yeah, well, yeah. Okay. Our producer Audrey
Hiatt says, give us a link to this. And they I guess you did
just found the small step Adult and Teen page.
Oh, hold on. Let me find it for you. There are many ways
that you can make take small steps toward better health and
you can do it today with an exclamation mark. Let me bring
up that basic government cyber is to let me just finish reading
what you're doing. Looking forward, we provide over 100
tips below to take small steps to a healthier lifestyle for you
and your family steps are simple and free to choose from any one
of these small steps, who's really was just like an ad
copywriter that's writing this stuff. This is definitely not
the same person. This
is the Department of Health and Human Services. And these are
tips for you to stay healthy from your government by the way.
Yes. So do you have the page I can't find?
Oh, yeah, well, I've got it. I printed it out just for that
reason. Okay. Let me just go over some of the things that you
should do. According to your government, under drink. Use fat
free milk over whole milk. Drink water before a meal. drink diet
soda.
This is this is my favourite, you know, please, if it has
aspartame in it, please drink it because Donald Rumsfeld drinks
it to
consume alcoholic beverages in moderation, if at all. Order
your latte or hot chocolate with fat free skim milk.
My favourite was don't eat any portion larger than your fist.
It has like a whole fisting connotation to it that really
just like actually, it's small. step.gov John, that's the that's
the state you that's the site you want to go to. Okay, small

Okay, stop. I can't handle it. Crap is too much for me. And
that's a real website. Small steps.gov I just love it, man.
All right, so moving along here. One clip another clip. Okay,
good. All right, here are the the two D I hate to be
negative and grumpy harsh.
But the two dingbats who wandered into North Korea,
because they're going to do a story, they think they're
sneaking into their high school to steal some, you know,
questions for test. And these are Americans who are these?
Yeah, there were two American journalists, they walked across
the border, and they were captured. And they've been in,
you know, prison for the last month or so. And
it's kind of like a logical thing, you know, don't go hiking
in North Korea.
No one's ever going to sneak in there. We're thinking they were
James Bond. Okay. They were working for Current TV Al Gore's
operation. And they went in there and there's in there were
idiots. And by the way, the right wing talk radio guys are
doing North Koreans kidnap them, and we should have taken our
gunboats and blowing them out of the water. You know, it just
went on and on with all this bull. Meanwhile, the finally,
you know, got the release, like so Clinton had to go get them.
Yeah. Did you see those pictures it looked like, like he was next
to Kim Jong Il. But Kim Jong Il looked like a cutout. It didn't
look like
a real dude, like a cut out. I thought there were two cutouts.
It's like inflatable Clinton inflatable Kim Jong Il
was looked at fake as they could be. But anyway, so here's the
two women after they got brought back into the country, and and
this one goes on and on with this with this kind of 30 hours
30 hours ago.
30 hours ago. You know, Lee and I were prisoners in North Korea.
Anna Lee. Did she say that?
That's the she's the other one.
Okay, but it's not aniline nemetz Is it from wire? No, no,
it's these are two No, this is Anna Lee is Anna first name Lee
second to Chinese. Okay.
We fear that at any moment, we could be sent to a hard labour
camp.
Okay, stop. This is clearly current reporters who do exactly
what they do on Current TV is trying to stir up the shit. They
went looking for it in a prison.
And then suddenly, we were told that we were going to a meeting
of some Cabernet.
Yeah. After she says meeting She sighs Let's listen again,
to have some Cabernet with Kim Jong Il a meeting
to a meeting. Like a 10 year old. We were taken to a location
when we walked in through the doors we saw standing before us
President Bill Clinton there's a million jokes.
I can't wait for the rest of it. Alright, gets worse. Oh, they're
clapping. They're clapping. Who wears this? Who's clapping for
this?
This a little crowd there's Al Gore standing there and a couple
of the family members and it just it's a it's a clownish
setup
dude, so isn't this dude dude Isn't it like Gore said Hey
Bill, Bill Bill What's up dude? I gotta Goodwin Listen do you go
I'm gonna send these two boneheads there we'll get him
picked up and you go catch him on the other side do it'd be
cool watch the Hitman
we were shocked. But we knew instantly in our hearts that the
nightmare of our lives was finally coming to an end to the
complete strangers with the kindness of hearts. Who showed
us so much love and sent us so many positive thoughts and
energy we think we could feel your love all the way in North
Korea. It is what Okay, wait
wait that's the
that's the end of the clip.
I'm listening to this thinking is there any way we can send
them back?
Please let's get rid of them. This is crazy. What is the point
of this?
It's such a distraction
or is it a setup
here news
it's a setup of some form over here nothing to see. Look at
that. You know I can I can totally see Al Gore and Bill
Clinton dreaming this scheme up
I can't do it so pathetic and and you're right these are the
two dummies that would do it. I mean, how stupid can you be? I
mean then I that but then they all these people that are that
are not defending them but saying they were kidnapped is
like bull. I mean yeah, you kidnap it's like, you know
you're you're in somebody's else's house and shot. Oh, they
were shot in the you know, they weren't something shooting
somebody in the street. I mean, this is ridiculous. As everybody
knows is North Korea is not a place you can just wander into,
well, let's just especially as they get a story,
let's just follow the steps for a second. So they go in. And
this is by their own admission, they were going in to get a
story.
They were Yeah, they're to journalism, Current TV, and
they're going to sneak in through China.
Current TV, which by the way, needs a hot story because
they're running out of money they're at their IPO didn't
happen. You know, they're they're in severe. They're the
laying off people left and right, the entire gaming
division was just laid off. Yeah, they're over here in San
Francisco. As a matter of fact, yeah. So you know, people from
current are coming over and trying to get work with us,
which, you know, we only got so much to go around. So they
desperately need a big story. They, they get kidnapped. And of
course, this is now the big story on talk radio, so I can
see where it was maybe a setup to either a help Current TV be
raised Bill Clinton's profile, because of course, Al Gore said,
yo, yo, Bill, dude, dude, get dressed on the plane, man. Get
over there, go save them, get them on kidnapped. You know,
it's something like that, but it's just pathetic.
Well, I mean, the two of them listen to them whine. I mean, it
was just they had any sense they would have come and said, we'd
like to thank everybody for helping us get out. We'll talk
about this later and the press conference or did they could
have done anything but sat standing there, you know, acting
like a couple of kids whining and talking about the vibes that
they felt from people I you know, I don't
know bad vibe shot, dude. When you when you walk into North
Korea, you can expect some bad vibes. It's a known fact.
They should have noticed Clinton flew into North Korea.
Yeah, no worries there right through the front door to pick
up somebody's house. Hey, it's time for another instalment,
John Oh. In the auspices of complete transparency and not
working with lobbyists. President Obama's administration
is picking a lobbyist for US Attorney, a copyright alias,
copyright lobbyist, no less. Oh God, Deputy Attorney General
Attorney General Neal McBride, who listed in 2007, as a
lobbyist with the business software Alliance and other
resource that's Microsoft, if you call them Microsoft picks up
has been named by the Washington Post as the most likely
candidate to fill the role of US Attorney in Alexandria,
Virginia. So another lobbyist coming in.
And you know, if I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong.
Could be wrong, John, you could but when Obama was running, he
said he wasn't gonna hire any lobbyists. He thought it was a
plague.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure what happened there.
Well, maybe we missed on maybe they cut maybe that wasn't
recorded, right? Maybe say he's gonna hire only lobbyists.
We just misunderstood it.
Man, oh, man. Okay, so let's go. We're gonna talk about
misunderstanding. Let's go through the jet. I have a clip
here. That's kind of funny. And in fact, this is when you have
to keep on those kinds of machine. This is the no taxes.
medley, which is a bunch of things that were put together of
Obama saying he's not going to raise taxes. give that a shot.
I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan. No family making less
than $250,000 a year which includes 98% of small business
owners. You will not see your taxes increase one single dime
Under my plan. Now your income tax, not your payroll tax. Now
your capital gains tax, no tax, we don't need to raise taxes on
the middle class, you will not see your taxes increased a
single dime. I repeat, not one single dime.
Okay now, so that Greta Van Susteren decided to put a couple
of other clips together which were was just play cannot rule
things out clip. Well,
that was the president and over the weekend, Treasury Secretary
Tim Geithner was far less concrete.
President has said the taxes won't go up for any Americans
earning under $250,000. But it doesn't appear it's gonna be
able to keep that promise, if you're gonna bring the deficits
down.
Again, we can't make these judgments yet about exactly what
it's going to take and how we're going to get there. But the very
important thing and no one is going to care about this more
than prison United States is for people to understand that we did
not have a choice as a country.
White House economic adviser Larry Summers was asked about
Secretary Geithner's comment. Does summers think a new round
of taxes is coming for middle class Americans.
So there's a lot that can happen over time, the priority right
now and so you had said never good idea to absolutely rule
things. rule things out, no matter what.
You know, Geithner is on a real tear article in the Wall Street
Journal She of course will also put in the show notes. He
apparently is turning into Rahm Emanuel with his with his
language. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner blasted top US
financial regulators in an expletive laced critique last
Friday. As frustration grows over the Obama administration's
faltering panic plan to overhaul US financial regulation.
Geithner told the regulators Friday enough is enough, said
one person familiar with the meeting. Mr. Geithner said
regulators had been given a chance to air their concerns,
but it was time to stop. Among those gathered in the treasury
conference room where Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke,
of course, sec Chairman Mary Shapiro and FDIC Chairman Sheila
Bair, it's a it's a fine trio that is further according to the
Wall Street Journal Friday's roughly hour long meeting was
described as unusual not only because of Geithner's repeated
use of obscenities, but I wish I had some audio that
we needed to get some idea of these obscenities because a lot
of these guys like to cuss. Yeah,
but because of the aggressive posture he took with officials
from federal agencies generally considered independent of the
White House, Mr. Geithner reminded attendees that the
administration and Congress at policy, not the regulatory
agencies, this guy is he's flipping out. Now. Of course,
he's also a former Goldman guy just might want to might want
to cuss a lot of that company.
At the go, of course they do. To the Goldman guys there, they're
evil.
And it cuts in a lot. I think. The by the way, I want to pick
up a couple of the callbacks here. Just next time we talk
about the software $80 million deal. We got to not forget to
mention there's no software warranty with it.
Wait a minute, we're spending $80 million and there's no
warranty.
There's no no there's just no Why would there be a warranty?
They probably got another 18 million to make it so it's
warranted
Unbelievable. Unbelievable,
just the way it is. So yeah, no, Geithner is gonna probably maybe
he's trying to get fired. I mean, it'd be I can't imagine
this job being much fun. Well,
there's a lot of movement going on the acting cybersecurity czar
announced her resignation. This was Melissa Hathaway. And
she was she How did these people that God only been in office for
six months where they quitting? Alright, I'll be fair,
she was actually brought in by Bush. And she was supposed to
stay on for I believe two or three months and do a
cybersecurity review. And then she was asked to stay in
additional 60 days. Now she has completed the review, which by
the way, wouldn't mind under the auspices of transparency,
wouldn't mind seeing a report, wouldn't mind knowing what the
review said. And she's now stepping down. She's saying I
think someone else should take over this because what's
happening is there's a big fight going on. You've got Larry
Summers we just heard from who is the national economic adviser
and resident sleeping guy. He he's fighting saying that the
cyber czar should report to the economic part of the
administration. And of course then you have the National
Security Council saying that it should report to them so they
can't decide under whose posts this you know, this cyber czar
should should should follow and who the person should report to.
And so now we've got front runners for the cybersecurity
czar why why do we use a former Russian word for a post in our
government?
It's not a former Russian word, current Russian word.
In recent weeks new front runners according to Wall Street
Journal include a former Clinton assistant Defence Secretary
Franklin Kramer and here's my favourite Howard Schmidt a
former top security officer at eBay and neither one neither one
have have commented
so by the way they did maybe our one of our producers can track
this now but I'm on of the understanding that before the in
the early days of the Roosevelt administration he did a similar
thing a lot of this by the way is derivative that stuff that
Obama is doing. Roosevelt had to set up all these characters and
but he called them dictators Oh, even better, why don't we go any
dropped a term after after Mussolini or Hitler or somebody
gave the term a bad name?
Yeah. There were a couple other guys who gave that a bad name, I
think. Yeah. Well, we're just staying on some Goldman dudes.
The CEO you if you don't think Goldman's Next is the mob. If
you've ever seen Goodfellas or in fact any any mobster movie,
this is exactly what they say after a Big Heist. So Goldman
Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, which is a fantastic name is now
telling employees of the bank Hey man, tone down the spending
don't make any big purchases. Okay, we don't need we don't
need to get tension. This is exactly what the mob says, Hey,
man, don't buy the new car. Don't buy your girl don't buy
your girl a fur coat. You know, we don't want to
shoot you if you do like they do. And the other one, probably
not extreme.
I mean, it's it's just it's um, this is according to the New
York Post. So you know, take it don't
you want to transition there? Sure. So New York Post is owned
by Murdoch. This is a good, awkward, awkward
segue. It's hurting, the Segway is hurting but go with it. It's
owned by Murdoch. So remember last week, we talked about how
the New York Times had reported that that Olbermann and O'Reilly
were told by their peers to shut up, right. Well, Olbermann came
out immediately. They're like the next day that you can first
time he gets on the air Olbermann. You know, the guy
with the big head. It came on.
Have you seen him in HD now and I'm gonna have a plasma.
It's frightening. I have little kids in the room. dudes got a
big head. It's monstrous isn't?
Usually by the way, according to MERV Gryphon is guaranteed
success on television. Yeah, that's your theory too. And of
course, Vanna White Pat say Jack all big heads.
Yeah. So anyway, and people with small heads do look funny on TV.
So it's so Oberman says a bunch of bull and so he came out and
did as a worse person, and he just said it was Murdoch. And
now so I clipped a few things, some of the boring parts out of
this, but you might want to play the clip Fox worst person now,
before you play it. I believe that this is going to if because
Murdoch sees this thing, if there was actually some sort of
a gentlemen's agreement between Murdoch and MLK, who's the head
of NB sorry, and head of General Electric, I think this will urge
him to know and and that would mean that, that and the thing
about Oberman is he's got good ratings, and He's on a roll and
he thinks he's owns the place.
So just to recap, there was a deal struck between NBC and Fox
that they wouldn't be talking shit about each other's
Chairman's after O'Reilly went after the chairman of NBC or
actually the president of GE, I believe, yeah, that CEO, G O G.
And so now we've got the NBC side of the feud now bitching at
Murdoch who of course runs Fox, let's listen to this.
First time cut as number two story tonight's worst person in
the world brought to you tonight, my fix news celebrating
six days without having fired Glenn Beck, even after he called
the president united states a racist, and even after they
basically claimed he didn't really work for them. The bronze
to Brian Stelter of The New York Times front page story front
page story Saturday, about a quote deal in which is the
headline read voices from above silence at cable TV feud
problem. Mr. Stelter asked me at least twice last week, if there
was such a deal, and I told him on and off the record, there was
not and I told him, I rather obviously would have to be a
party does such a deal. And I told him that not only wasn't I,
but I had not even been asked to be by my bosses, and he printed
it anyway. But our winner Rupert Murdoch, how would you like to
be Roger Ailes right now or Bill O'Reilly or anybody else who
thinks they decide what goes on? Even for a minute on Fox News
Channel? Rupert Murdoch, according to The New York Times
piece has muzzled below kept him from speaking his mind because
as the Times put it, what below said quote, could create real
consequences for foxes? parent corporation? How dare you muzzle
O'Reilly? Mr. Murdoch? Dare you,
sir? You know, this is this has to be considered. And now back
to real.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's all that our new stations are doing. They're just bitching
at each other. No one actually talks about any news? It No,
I mean, when's the last time he's I mean, Olbermann is the
biggest. I think he's kind of buffoonish the way he does it. I
mean, they do have some good material. I mean, the show that
actually has some content, I think is worth watching,
especially if you're a right winger that wants to listen to
the left wing people that actually do some research is
Rachel Maddow, who is a somewhat of a lesbian. Well, she's an out
and out, not out and she's an out lesbian. She's a lesbian,
but she also has a certain smugness to her that's somewhat
annoying, but she has I think, the best staff which because
they dig up a lot of really good dirt.
I just watch her because she's lesbian. Well, that's, you know,
some people would just sit there I just kind of imagine it, you
know,
so now I do have a mad out clip because there's
a man out clip from Rachel Yeah. Is it a good clip and it's not
real news.
It's it's, it's it's an interesting clip from the
perspective that it gives you insight into what's wrong with
her show. Oh, okay. Well, she has like all these good
researchers she digs up a lot of interesting stuff she finds a
lot of these you know, Astro Turf Grass phoney grassroots
campaigns that the Republicans tried to do.
You're actually saying she has a good show? It's not a good show.
No, I'm saying she has a good she has the best staff and she
has digs up a lot of good information I'm not seeing
anyplace else for as a show it's dull here but the
the information she has I see everywhere. It's not that
I disagree. But we'll we'll I'll have now you're gonna make me
watch the show more. You're pulling
clips like you're gonna waste a minute of my life with listening
to the to her if I can't see it worth it.
Why don't you not let me set this up correctly? You already
you apparently hate the woman.
I don't I don't hate the woman and she'll hate her. No, there's
all kinds of other real news to discuss, John. And now we're
going to talk about few
put the clip off. I'm putting the clip Ah. Oh, no. Now I'm
playing it too. I set it up and if I don't set it up, it won't
make any sense.
Is it any good?
Let me back up. I'm it's an example of why the show sucks.
So why would it be
good? The group's paying to run this ad that features you know,
don't
run to you can't run it without me telling you what it's about.
Yes, yes. Dr. de vorak. I'm listening.
Okay. She gets these. Here's the problem with her show. And
probably why nobody can watch it for too long. She I don't know
who books are guests. But they bring in these dummies that are
just unbelievable. They brought in and then they didn't they
when they bring somebody who's a newsmaker. They brought in Mark
Sanford's press, apparently his press guy quit afternoon he's
the guy had used a South Carolina governor that had the
affair with a woman in Argentina. Yeah. He quits. And
so she brings him on thing and he's she's gonna get some dirt.
And all she gets is about 15 minutes of propaganda about how
great Sanford was unbelievably frustrated. Now. In this case,
she she's running this ad, about in Nebraska, they're running
this ad after they're going after the it's another
healthcare ad. And they're going after the governor or the
senator there as the senator who's apparently got a bunch of
money in from the health care industry got like couple million
dollars or million dollars or something like that. By the way,
all these guys are going after all these guys that are
collecting money, and they always mentioned that, in
passing, that they're going to be corrupted by this money. And
then they say well, and don't forget Obama got 18 million more
than anybody combined. And but he's okay. Because you know,
Obama can't be corrupted. Now.
Rachel Maddow Manna would be the one who says Obama can't be
corrupted. She's an Obama Tron.
Oh, yeah. And so is so as Oberman Olbermann is actually
the one who had a whole list of these people. And then he
mentioned in passing, that, you know, Obama got 18 million, but
now it's okay when he gets it. SO, SO MAD out bring brings up
this idiot, who is doing this ad in Nebraska, at thinking she's
gonna get some insight from because he runs a coffee shop,
and he can't afford health insurance. And so here he goes,
You got to play this as Mattos guests. And this is why the show
sucks because she keeps bringing these idiots up.
The group's paying to run this ad that features you then
announced that they would triple the amount of money that they're
spending to run the ad. They're both sort of raising the stakes
on one another. What do you make of the way that this is being
fought out? Do you feel like it's constructive enough? Or how
do you feel about it?
Exactly how I feel about it. I think my position represents the
democratic wing of the Democratic Party. Barack Obama
was elected in this country and under his platform, wants to get
healthcare done. And I think we need to get it done. Michael
Schneider is the owner of the sizzlin skillet restaurant in
Austin, Nebraska. I don't know if I'm ever gonna get to
Ralston, Nebraska. But if I do, I'm going to leave a really
large tip when I eat at your restaurant. Mr. Schneider,
thanks very much for being on the show. I really appreciate
it. Good luck to you, sir.
Right, as I predicted a full minute of my life I'll never
forget. I really appreciate that.
It was worse if you saw that
guy. That's just fantastic. I really appreciate that. I
get that I'd been lighten up a little bit. You mentioned
18 million. There's reports. I love these reports. I just gotta
go off on on a tangent here for a moment. There was an $18
billion trend As for out of Iran, in 2008, part cash in
dollars part in gold 20 metric tonnes. And reports that I have
links for in the show notes will tell you that this 18 billion
was actually transferred to Barack Obama's personal bank
account. And
okay, where did you get this one?
Well, there's a couple of things going on, first of all, Iran,
the Central Bank of Iran is now openly talking about this
transfer and trying to figure out who who was the money went
to Turkey. Okay, so that that we know, now, there's been a lot
going on with Turkey recently, John, we've been seeing everyone
showing up in Turkey. Right, everyone's going and visiting
Turkey, including Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton, you know, very
unclear what they're all doing there. But now the Central Bank
of Iran is questioning the transfer of a container, a
container filled with his gold and, and cash. And it was
apparently transported by let me see, of course, an arms dealer,
I'm sure SML savaria nisab, who moved it to Turkey in 2008. And
this apparently was the actual war coffer for Obama. Now, a
couple other things that tie into this. I see you I can find
this, the links are a little bit all over the place. But if you
this article, where I'm getting this from translates to the End
of Times of three warring factions, the Muslims, the Jews
and the Christians. And it looks like there was some kind of coup
attempt that was being set up in the United Arab Emirates. And
for three months already, Prince Bandar, who was Bush's buddy,
he's gone missing, no one can find him anymore. You've got
Obama, who is, according to this, according to this article,
is taking this money from Iran.
Where is this article? And I'll send it to you sent to me now?
No, because you're just going to ridicule it.
So it's on prison planet.
I know it's not on prison planet is not. But what I like about it
is, you know, so we've got made off sending money to to Israel,
we've got Obama somehow, and it's just implications, you
know, working with Iranian money or working with Iran. And then
we have my favourite, of course, and this is something that is in
the news here is Eric, Prince of Blackwater. Now with Zee who is
being accused of murdering people who are going to blow the
whistle on him that he is actually sending over, you know,
his hundreds of 1000s of private troops, who are people purposely
you go over to kill Muslims.
That was an interesting story. But let's get back to the let's
go to that in a second. But let's go back I got a copy of
the Pakistan news agencies version of this, which is, I
think comes out of Russia, Russia, by the way, so it was a
stir up. The story has
worked well. I love the Russians. We Russia.
They're just starting to play games here. Russia shocked over
$18 billion Iran payment to Obama after failed us backed
Saudi cuckoo This is wasn't the United Arab Emirates. This was
Saudi Arabia. We're sorry. Yeah, you're right. Some fishy about
this story? Well,
meanwhile, Obama and Medvedev, Jeff had a little call the other
day. So everyone's talking to each other. Everyone's talking.
Yeah, okay. Well, let's see. See how it shakes out. Now let's let
me just throw one little thing in here. I've always been highly
suspicious of all the money that Obama collected during his run
for the President. Because it was all you know, like they brag
forever about it's off to the individual $5 donations. So you
didn't have to report hardly anything because everything was
coming in nickel and dime.
In gold dude is incoming nickel and dime No, but they
they had to launder the contribution somehow. So in
other words, you take 18 billion, and then you find some
way to divvying it up set up some some some servers someplace
that can start to accept this kind of Pay Pal. Exactly. And
you start pumping the money in five bucks at a time and as
individual contributions And then they don't have to do any
reporting on it. So you can take the gold bar because you can't
you can't give somebody even $20,000 without having to sign
up.
So So here's here's some more connections. Okay, so the
film Yeah, I'm saying it's within the realm of
possibilities. But this guy, the SML is Sarah free and nisab. He
was the guy in the middle of the arms for hostages deal the
Iranian hostages met. That was back when George Bush Senior
went to free the hostages with I believe my uncle, by the way,
which of course got you know, was great for Reagan with his
election the whole October surprise, yeah,
no, this was a Nike 79. When that was Carter, who was the
president and Bush was apparently sent as one of the
CIA guys or something.
Right, but it's the same guy. It's the same players. He's like
this. You mean, there's something going on?
Okay, so you're getting this from some Russian new site? Yes.
Yeah. So I figured, Well, Lisa was in prison planet. I'll give
you that much. Thanks, baby. But you know, the Russians are the
experts in disinformation. They're putting this out there.
For some reason,
no American citizens are the experts at disinformation.
That's why we have that woman who tells
us to show a woman, that woman woman,
if your neighbours are spreading bad news about the government,
tell us Don't worry, you'll remain anonymous, nothing will
happen. You'll be safe.
So always reminds me of a policy. Somebody explained to me
once the Disney Corporation apparently used that there was
at one of their facilities where they had a lot of people working
there. And they would, they would not really encourage
people to kind of tattle as it were on their on their fellow
employees. And so if you went into the boss and say, you know,
Jeff over here, he hasn't come into we don't come into work. I
mean, the guy's goofing off. He's on the phone all day
talking to his friends. He's not doing any. He's just sucks. He
stinks. They fired that guy.
Hey, thanks for telling us. You can pick up your top or box on
the way out. According to Bloomberg, which still does
pretty good reporting, I'd have to say and I think probably
because they don't have editors or or there's this. It's such an
online system. That stuff gets posted very, very easily with a
lot of not a lot of editorial going on. From yesterday,
President Barack Obama top US military commanders are being
pressed by Senators and civilian advisors to more than double the
size of Afghan security forces. This is coming from National
Security Adviser Jim Jones and the new US commander in
Afghanistan to boost the Afghan national army and police force
from current levels of 175,000 to at least 400,000. Lieberman's
on board
places, this is our Vietnam and Obama then goes JOHNSON
Oh, yeah, this goes beyond Vietnam. It's just your Senators
Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee,
and Carl Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, wrote
to the White House in July 21 letter obtained by Bloomberg
News. And meanwhile, in Gitmo nation, East and God bless him,
the Brits are finally starting to get pissed off and taken to
the streets. Now they buried another eight of their boys,
these are boys, by the way, who are my daughter's age, she knows
some of these kids were being sent over to Afghanistan for the
second or third time. And the Brits are going, excuse me,
mate, excuse me. What are we therefore, they're finally
waking up. You know, they're like, Wow, hold on. What Why are
we in Afghanistan? Again? What What exactly are we doing over
there? So I Bless them get bin Laden. Bless those guys. Oh,
man, there was a whole bunch of bin Laden news. I'm sure you may
have even blogged about it. Some whistleblower, saying that bin
Laden worked for the CIA right up until 911.
Did you so that's a stretch. I'm not buying that. Okay. I might,
you know, there might be a way to you know, the idea if you can
make it sound as though bin Laden was working for the CIA
all along. They might, you know, get him killed by one of his
compadres.
Of course, we know that he was working with the United States.
We've got, you know, all kinds of but
yeah, but that was years earlier. That was during the war
with Russia. Yeah. Yes. against war with Russia.
Yeah. years early as 80s John, not all that long ago. It's what
most people that will listen to stuff on the TV aren't even born
by they don't even remember nobody remembers that war.
Which is the only reason why we're concerned about it, I
guess. Of course, you remember the Second World War I I worked
a century in the Revolutionary War
just so we don't get taken out back to to the head and put have
the gun put in our left hand, John, a large lake in Chile
disappeared overnight, leaving in its place a giant pit 30
minutes metres deep. Placed in dry soil. This is according to
the National forestry Corporation of Chile. So there
was a lake and overnight the entire thing went dry. You want
to know what happened? It leaked out? Nope. A UFO sucked it out.
And I've got pictures. And you'll find those in the show
notes. At no agenda.media.com pictures. Yep. The UFO sucked
all the water right out of the lake. What would they do that
for? Well, they were thirsty.
Well, how much water do they need is huge lake W UFO must
have many massive in size.
There's also brand new crop circles showing up again near
wheelchair. So it's like every week, there's a new crop circle
in the UK
every single week. Everybody knows those things are fake
John,
you cannot make these these are not fake.
They're all you can. It's impossible.
I will I will give you okay, because they're made with all of
a sudden they show up in one day, John C. Dvorak, here's my
pledge to you, I will give you my entire bar of gold free,
completely yours to keep. If in one night, you can replicate
this without anyone seeing you.
So you could probably do a lot of stuff without anyone seeing
out in the middle of nowhere.
It's not all that far in the middle. It's wheelchair it's
this it's the United Kingdom. It's not like you know, the
backwaters of down south it's it's wheelchair. And if you can
create this crop circle, and you want even if you can do it in
broad
link to the crop circle. Now I want to see what it looks like.
Okay,
hold on, if you can do it in broad daylight. Let me get it
for you here.
So let me get this straight. So aliens have a flying saucer and
they come down and they say let's make some stupid design
down here just to confuse the locals that I wouldn't
say that's necessarily true. I think it's it that maybe it's
not done by aliens. Maybe it's Mother Earth doing it somehow.
Ah don't don't don't ridicule me those Chinese
girls back.
If you can make this you can do it in broad daylight. Yeah, give
you give you give it 20 hours. No, I give you 15 hours to do
it. Because that would be the time of darkness. Oh, that's
a beauty.
Yes, it is. You do that one? In 15 hours. I give you all my
gold,
though. What documentation? Do we have that that's not either a
photoshopped picture that we're looking at, which is what I'm
thinking.
Have you seen all the pictures? Scroll down, John. These are
aerial photographs.
This is a different one. No, it's
the same one.
I'm talking to look at the there's Okay, there's one. Oh, I
see. Okay.
Oh, what's that? It's okay. You make this with all the detail
look at all the swirls guys
obviously into embroidery or something. You know, he could
have taken a year to do this for all you know,
no, John, there are people who have
I want to see a picture of this same field taken the day before?
I'm not Look, why are you arguing the point instead of
taking my challenge within 15 hours from start to finish?
I can barely draw a circle with a line through it. Anyone
anyone listening to this show? If you circle throw the line
through it. Stick stickman theatre if you can make a
stickman John, just a stickman in a wheat field somewhere.
Anyone who can create this within 15 hours you can do it in
broad daylight. Go ahead make this make this and I'll give you
a tractor because there's a lot of tractor things going on. It's
fine. You can use
tractors you can use whatever you want. Make it John, you
could even you can even trace this with tracing paper from the
screen picture.
This guy this is performance art. It's like street art. It's
like graffiti. Yeah,
it's alien graffiti.
Oh, why would an alien bother?
Well, why do people bother doing graffiti?
Okay, some alien decided to to to deface this guy's empty
farmland. I'd like to know what the dark brown parts are.
There's no crop down here. It's not really a crop circle unless
it's wheat.
John. I think you should just give up while you're still
ahead. Still, you still haven't taken on my channel. and
are doing it I am taking on the challenge. Yes. Okay. I'd like
to hear from any engineers out there that can help me with this
and we can start to divvy up the money.
Yep, that's right, one bar of gold and I'll give you a hacksaw
with it. So you can divvy it up with your minions.
And I will cash it in and take the money from the Federal
Reserve folks.
Greece announced on Friday it would vaccinate its whole
population against swine flu and they are very proud to be the
first country to introduce such a broad measure amid the current
pandemic, the government intends to quote vaccinate all citizens
and residents of the country without exception.
Congratulations Greece our country will be among the first
to obtain the vaccines but they will not be used before the
official international and European authorization it's a
race John it's a race which country gets gets to to shoot up
their citizens first.
Why they just shoot their citizens
it's a race this thing is it's great the in get my nation East
in the in the UK, you've got people calling the swine flu
hotline, which is a bunch of the same people who take your order
for for Nutrisystem and and they're now diagnosing you based
upon a script so you've got people with like measles who are
being misdiagnosed kidney failure being misdiagnosed it's
all this is the stupidest thing in the world stupidest stupidest
thing in the world just if you got the flu go see your doctor
and I don't
want you coming in you get the swine flu man don't
come in. Well, that's what you get. You are assigned a swine
flu buddy and and a registration number so that your swine flu
buddy, can they then go get your Tamiflu which is making kids
sick everywhere?
No, this is what I wanted to talk about last week, this
propaganda started appearing out of the blue. I'm not sure why.
But I've started to see these stories left and right about all
these kids are all getting sick and you start looking into it.
And you just the documentation is pretty scarce. I mean, for
one thing you have to remember there how many doses of Tamiflu
you think have been delivered over the years? I don't know 50
million. So now one or two kids have gotten sick supposedly. Now
the other thing is most of the people who do get ill from
Tamiflu tend to be in Japan. And the Japanese have their own
manufacturers is one of the few countries that doesn't go
through Roche or whoever makes Tamiflu I think is Roche. They
got a special licencing deal because I didn't like whatever.
I didn't know what why they did this, but they decided to make
it themselves domestically. And this is where most of these
reports are coming from.
The report that I'm looking at and this is a Belgian
translation was 103 kids participated in a test 95
received wasn't also time of year, which is Tamiflu. 85 of
the 103 actually used it so they had some we had some what do you
call that a blind test or whatever. More than a half, more
than half 53% had adverse side effects such as nausea, nausea,
nausea, nausea. Oh, I'm sick. I'm nudges. 12% had sleep
deprivation, nightmares and 20 20% of things pretty high.
Develop psycho psychiatric problems. Yeah. Okay, Have you
have you taken your Tamiflu yet? I love this story in in the
Dutch press though a famous singer. He was on vacation. And
someone who was near him came down with what they call the
Mexican flu. Of course, it's not swine flu in, in most of most
other countries. And he got he goes on television saying, you
know, it's really I'm really I'm really lucky. I mean, it was the
there was a magazine, I thought with television or magazines
that I'm really lucky because, you know, I have my Tamiflu
vaccine with me and I take it every day, like huh? The guy's
taken Tamiflu every single day, and he calls it a vaccine.
This is your terminology wrong.
It's kind of a replication because you see the same thing
with celebrities all over the world now or saying, oh, you
know, I'm protected. And I'm ready and I can't wait for my
shot. And
yes, it's all part of a huge propaganda scheme. It's pretty
interesting. I mean, instead of Rachel Maddow looking for these
crazy things Republicans are doing Thank you. Now you should
be going after this stuff that nobody does, by the way, but
it's not just her. I mean, Chris Matthews, old man,
people listening to the show, don't turn off your television.
Just don't Watch anymore. It's useless unless you're watching C
span which by the way, YouTube has removed every single of the
6400 C span clips put up there by C span junkie, because of
course it's violating the trademark of C span. Then we
lost
who asked for a takedown because if you look at the terms of use
that's that C span publishes on their website, the everything
that they do all these videos that they make are public
domain, and you could put them on YouTube if you want to
the C span junkie user channel, a nonpartisan archive of short
clips taken from C span broadcasts of events in the
congress and senate has been the home of the vast majority of
YouTube videos of Ben Bernanke, Geithner, Paulson, others being
confronted in Congress, as well as Ron Paul speeches on the
House floor a total of more than 6400 videos, and all of them
polled hundreds of which featured the Texas Congressman
whether or not C span itself requested that YouTube poll the
channel is unknown, but it is clear clearly in the public
interest in constitutes fair use to show about blah, blah, blah,
blah, well,
it's in there, you go to C span.com. And take a look at
what what they allow and don't allow, and they themselves
except for certain I don't even know if there's any exceptions
to this. They have made this stuff public, it's public, you
can that's you know, you can you want to take a clip of the whole
thing and put it on your blog, you should be able to do it from
the way I'm reading it. The terms of use the terms of
service that
goes or stuff, John, go to C span junkie.org. And you'll see
well, you'll see this story, but if you scroll down a bit, you'll
see Hi, everybody at the insistence of C span this
website is being shut down. I will no longer be making any
future posts on this the new website Earth to obama.org is
where all the daily posts are now being made. C span is out
there busting this guy telling me can't use C span junkie you
can't use their C span trademark.
Well, maybe that's the reason because he's using the C span
trademark as though he's part of C span the
span junkie.org I mean, come on. What besides what difference
does it make?
No, I'm not gonna argue the point. I'm just saying
I love the sign. He's got up at the top under new management,
and he's got the white house there.
Well, you know, it's a known fact that she spends the guys
who run C span are fairly liberal.
Well, I agree with you. I thought that was like the whole
point of C span is that that's like public domain stuff. You
can do whatever you want
here. I'm gonna read from the C span websites he spans copyright
policy C span holds exclusive copyright in the video of all
public affairs programming it produces, although C span is the
only news media and organisation that regularly televises, the
legislative legislative proceedings of the US House and
Senate, it does not hold a copyright in that video
coverage. The government produced video is in the public
domain, which means that it belongs to the American people
and may be used without restrictions of any kind. So how
does that fit in with this guy's complaining?
I don't know. Man, I don't know. All right, John,
listen to this. C span permits non commercial use of its video
coverage of federal government sponsored events, which is stuff
that they produce would in other words, they also let you do
this, so long as C span has identified during the use of
this as the source of the video,
wouldn't it being on a website called C span junkie.org
suffice?
Well, you'd think keeping a C span logo on the screen during
the use is sufficient to identify C span as the source
which is going to show up anyway, so that would be fine.
So something's wrong with this story. Well, anyway, YouTube's
taken all these videos down. They just turn off the channel.
Well, the
YouTubes you know, well, you know, YouTube is probably got
somebody there who doesn't like you know, if it takes guy
probably has a shot. And
how about Eric Schmidt? Would that be somebody?
Eric Schmidt? You mean who's on Obama's Obama's
economic board? Yeah. visors Yeah,
that guy Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're making Obama look like an
idiot you know is probably not something that Eric Schmidt
likes and so he just caught Tesla YouTube guys pull it I
don't know that that's happened i I'm sure that somebody made a
decision because I can read this again. It does not hold a
copyright in that video coverage you can use this any way you
want to that's one of these I've picked up a few C span things
and posted them on on YouTubes myself so I could use them on
the blog and I read this in advance I always check to see
how these guys want to deal with copyright know if I'm gonna get
in trouble. And I read this and it makes sense to me that you
can put anything you want except the stuff they produce which is
what you know book your book talk and some of the things or
somebody's chatting about something right?
Well, maybe we should call the new our new buddy who's going to
be the our lobbyists buddy. There's going to be the new the
new czar.
New that says what is his name? again share buddy we can't
remember his name.
The way we are don't tell him I can't remember his name. I knew
buddy or whatever. But hey, buddy. Hey, the the Census
Questionnaire is underway in in Texas. I just wanted to read
this one to you, John speaking as you are such a civil
liberties Maven. Some North Texans are wondering if these
questions are not a little bit too probing. So the census is
done once every 10 years it's time once again, we know that
the census in fact to someone quit, I forget who it was they
who was that guy that they're going to bring in and he quit
because he didn't like the fact the census was being moved into
under control inside the White House.
Yeah, I remembered but I don't remember his name either. Okay,
so
here are getting a clue here. Let me see some of the questions
here. The questions wants answered about where you work,
how much money you make, what time you leave for work each day
down to the hour in the minute. Is that normal for a census?
I'm I'm questioning this story's fundamental basis of fact.
Base Oh, really? Yeah, I think I have the census here. Actually.
Hold on. I think I have a PDF of it. Questions planned for the
2010 census. And American Community Survey. Oh, that's
new. Wow. Okay, I have the actual file here. John. This is
interesting. So we do some of these questions and you answer
them.
You send me a copy right now real quick, and so I can look at
it. Okay. Don't get all huffy. This isn't on FARC or onion,
though. It's it's CBS 11 tv.com. I'll tell you that's a local
station. Here's the
somewhere Yeah, somewhere where there's a CBS on channel 11.
Okay, here's
there's the PDF for you. 2010 census. Okay. Let's see some of
these questions. Boy, this thing is big. It's funny. There's some
kind of sound that sounds like a gunshot. That's just coming from
your end once in a while, like every five minutes. Are you
okay?
I've had to duck twice. I don't know what it is.
How is this person related? I'm telling you if keep these
gunshots going off
as this every time a window opens up in Firefox. I think
that's what's causing that sound. Really? Yeah, because
they just opened when you just said there was another
something really weird with Firefox recently. All of a
sudden, friends we get this with with Dropbox. There it goes
again. Stop that. I didn't do it that time. Damn dropbox.com This
now it's happening every three seconds. There must be something
else going on?
Maybe that can't be Firefox.
Anyway, from time to time you go to a website and then I'm
hearing shots were like getting shot at man. Let me close some
here. I don't know what's going on. Nikki, are you okay? Are you
shooting at me? Oh, it is her?
It is her she's turned down your Mickey.
I don't know what she's doing of that. From time to time, you get
this page that says this is an attack site. And and we've
determined that it uses you and then it lists a couple of things
that are illegal. And so somehow and it's tied into Google so
when you're surfing around, I guess if you're logged into
Google or something, then Firefox awesome throws up this
page that says this site you're trying to go to is an attack
site. Do you want to ignore this warning? Do you want to
continue? Have you seen this thing? Yeah, I've seen it a
couple of times. But this is new. I haven't seen this. This
has something
to do with your virus protection. Timnah general Oh
no, no, I have a Mac and I have nothing no virus protection
turned on it's Firefox is in Firefox.
Me using Firefox on a Mac. It's Danks on a Mac.
Let me see. You use Safari. Here you go tell me this is
you What do you got a real typewriter there?
I'm taking off my headphones to listen. No, it's something else.
It's not in the house. This is weird. I'm gonna close it's
probably some fucking roll over on some stupid ass site in the
background that that fight like punch the monkey or something.
Here it is under
a monkey. What do you live it in the 90s
under security on the new Firefox here it is tell me if
the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site. Or tell
me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected forgery. This is new
defaults in the new Firefox that that you just get magically. And
it's a real bitch because you know, we're sending clients to
Dropbox and other places. And even some of our stuff has
JavaScript that all of a sudden Firefox decides is dangerous and
it throws up this page, but it's but it's getting into data from
Google. I don't like it. It's by default. And so by default, it's
sending your shit to Google. That's what's happening. And
oh, yeah, well, Google's got everything. Yeah, they got big,
which is why they shut down the YouTube C span stuff. I
suppose I've you looked at this thing yet.
I'm looking at it now. And it's like,
no. Where you got to scroll down a little bit
down then page. Oh, so I'm on page 39 already.
Okay, do you see any of these questions about when you leave
for here it is last
week? Was this person on layer from a job? Yes. Skip to
question 34. See, so they're gonna sit, they come, you know,
I have never had, you know, I've never had I had a census person
come by the house once. And it was actually recently. And she
just came up and she said, Oh, I'm with the Census Bureau. And
I have a question. And I said, What? And she says, this is this
only one family lives in this house. That's about the only
question
they should ask. Right? And I said, yeah,
she's okay. So that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Bye. Boom. That was
Andrew. Here's
last week. Were you looking for a job with this person laid off
for a job where you're temporarily absent from a job?
Have you been looking for a job in the past four weeks? So
that's unemployment figures? I don't know if that's
appropriate. Industry occupation? Are you an employee
of a private for profit company? Local government self employed?
I guess that's kind of appropriate. What location Did
you work last week? Give me the address and exact location. What
time did you usually get to work last week? How did you get to
work? How many people rode to work in the car truck or van?
Well, we're Mexicans Of course. 30 people the answer they want
work status last year, how many hours did you work? I think that
goes a bit beyond census. John.
Well, they want to they want more data for the purposes of
the Commerce Department so they can develop all kinds of models
of how to spend money and you know read how to gerrymander the
area so they can get you know stay in office longer there's a
million reasons for this. I don't think it's any good
anything to do with anybody personally
okay John answer this question Does your house apartment or
mobile home have a hot and cold running water be a flush toilet
see a bathtub or shower? I'm on the same exact page sink or
faucet stove arrange a refrigerator? This is I guess
the to tell how many people are Hicks?
Which fuel is used most you have a flush toilet? Yes.
No.
How many acres? Is is your mobile home on these.
So what's your point?
I think it's more than just isn't the census just who works
here? Or who lives here? Isn't that supposed to be it?
I think it was originally but as you see at the top of every one
of these like house heating fuels. Question number 10 has
been asked since 1940. So they show you that these are not new
questions. That which fuels us most reheating the house if they
already know the unemployment figures why are they asking you
if you're employed or the unemployment figures not correct
if they already know all about the Health Insurance why are
they on
what they would like to health the unemployment figures are
based on you know they based on the kind of numbers that come in
from these agencies that pay unemployment insurance and he
doesn't really keep very good tabs on what's called the I
think it's you six or whatever it is that the the true
unemployment so it might not be a bad idea to find how many
people really are unemployed by asking
all right, why don't one up with one of your clips. You have a
couple left and we really got no I don't have any level I only
Yes you do. I'll tell you what you have left you have parking
bullshit. Oh, parking bullshit. And inflatable Anderson Cooper
which I refused. Oh, Gulfstream 550. Is that good?
Ah, yes, play the golf. This shows that you that mainstream
news occasionally does a real story play X to
Capitol Hill where members of Congress have spent a lot of
time recently telling business executives to tone down their
spending in these days of economic austerity. So it is
ironic that in a spending bill now making its way through
Congress, there's 10s of millions of dollars for
aeroplanes to fly, members of Congress. Yay, it's Jonathan
Karl reports. It's your money. Call it jets for junkets.
Congress is poised to spend nearly $200 million to buy three
of the highest performing passenger jets in the world. The
Gulfstream 550 capable of flying nonstop from Washington to
Beijing.
Line. I love it. It's green.
That's a nice plane. It's a
it's a damn nice plane. Parking bullshit as the last one. Yeah,
this is this is kind of a long clip. But but this is a date. I
just set it up with. We've got you know, in California, we're
broke. Right? And then there's a couple of towns around here that
are really broke like Oakland and San Francisco. Do and so
they decided to gouge their own citizens gouge with all kinds of
scam part in it you know instead of policing view we have a lot
of police's a lot of murders, but now forget doing anything
about that. Let's get more money in they got $2.5 million in on
this one scam in Oakland, where if and I want to warn anybody
who's in this area, if there is a even if it's not mark, if you
even suspect that there is a it's a bus stop and you stop and
let somebody out of your car for just a split second, you're
subject to a $250 ticket and they're in they're laying in
wait for me and this starts off with a guy being interviewed
that got hit with it and then a little discussion of the problem
and then they talked to a cop who says I don't have to paint
the curb. And then they finish up with the rest of the parking
stuff. They're gonna it's gonna be a revolution in Oakland they
keep this up plate
in a barrel. I feel kind of cheated a little bit because I'm
just doing my job I'm not there parking or parked just dropping
off and there's no passengers zone. Not that knowing it's
illegal is necessarily easy. First of all, you don't see
anything on the roadway warning you the curbs not painted a red
or any warning colour and one of the No parking signs is missing
on this particular book which means drivers The only clue they
have that they're breaking the law is the fact that there's a
bus shelter and one no parking at anytime sign down there at
the mid block. There's no sign it's not painted. There's very
little warning
the signs say no stock no parking anytime in the mark bus
stop and the mark bus stop indicate by vehicle Costain and
doesn't have to indicate by red curb and this is such high
traffic it's hard to keep the curves up.
But it does Sheppard there's Deputies tell us that they don't
give everyone tickets. So as a matter of fact, they said if
they completely enforced it all the time, they probably give out
twice as much. I've got to tell you the station agents here at
the West Oakland barnston tell us that sometimes the cops just
perched themselves right down there and just line up the
tickets one after the other. DANA I suppose the literal
meaning of parking does not apply in this case like turning
off your car. No getting out. Stopping only All right. This is
not the only policy that has people upset in Oakland. Oh,
there is another ticket protests going on to balance the budget
in this cash strapped city. The city council is not only up to
price on me Pedja
Yeah, really fucking bored with that goes on forever. They've
also changed the hours now they have to put money in the metre
till eight at night.
Well, this is all just a part of it. And if we're just if we just
all bow down to it, then fine. We deserve exactly what we get.
Anyway, so that's going on everywhere. I mean, like it's in
front of the officers at me vo they it's five. It's a quarter
for five minutes. But if you put enough quarters in that you've
already lost five minutes. And if you look down, up and down
the street, it looks like the town is deserted because nobody
can park in these things. So they go down in the you know, as
far away as they can and find some parking. That's cheaper.
It's ridiculous.
All right, John, do we want to talk about some donations? Want
to keep that for Sunday? We're way over time. What if we don't
we have to do one of two things. We have to either go to three
Shows a week, or do something else drastic?
Well, maybe cutting off this conversation at the hour point
would be a good idea.
Well, I was ready to cut it off and you came in with your stupid
Maddow clip which just killed the entire buzz completely. You
hate her? No, I don't I hate talking about idiot news
channels that do nothing with it has anything to do with real
news. It's ridiculous. Well, I'm
just pointing out to people that maybe if they gave us some more
money, because this week we got very laughter last Sunday.
We got no money so you pulled shitty clips. That's it.
So the point is, is that you know, if you want us to go to
like a bunch of commercials, I mean, we actually need some some
contributions here. divorce.org/n A, or no?
agenda.me veoh.com and we'll fix the there's a link problem with
the night thing on that particular page. Oh, really?
What's the problem? It doesn't work. Like go to divorce.org/na
and that'll work and I think you have something that curry.com So
please help us out this week because we're we fell behind a
lot.
So someone here saying MVNO should host season span junkie,
shall Of course we will just upload it. If you can get them
back. If you can get them back from YouTube.
It probably has them somewhere. Usually when you send some of
the YouTube you keep a copy. Yeah, no, I'll send
the guy an email. Happy to do that.
Yeah. wants you as a really good idea.
All right. On Sunday, should we do a little less news about news
channels?
When's the last time I did that?
About an hour ago before that
it's just a buzzkill.
Well, it's only a buzzkill because you made it a buzzkill
by moaning I didn't realise you hated that woman so much.
Woman I it's, we're making it worse. The news is already bad
enough with all these people doing is just yelling at each
other and then we're actually highlighting it.
Yeah, that's my point. Okay, well, I'm not gonna do it again.
There you go. Oops. That didn't work. I meant it doesn't I can't
do two at the same time. That's sucks. Hold on.
All right, coming to you from the minimum containment.
Security sell. The minimum security containment sell shit.
It's a jail. Okay, and there's a wrecking ball outside. I'm in
Gitmo nation, West San Francisco, California. My name
is Adam curry.
And I'm here in St. Well, actually, it's not sunny today.
It was just kind of depressing. Northern Silicon Valley. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
We'll be here again Sunday morning, same time on no agenda.
