Hey, John. What? That would have been a great show if it had
actually recorded. You're kidding me. I'm not kidding you.
Were still on the stream by the way.
Well, maybe somebody out there recorded it. That's
why I'm still on the stream. I hope to God someone recorded
this show. I can't Well, you'll
find out shortly. That's pretty funny.
No, it's that's like par for the course for today.
Yeah, well, it sounds like it. Well, maybe somebody recorded
and we can run the recording. I knew this would happen
eventually.
Oh my god. I feel like such a douchebag. Okay, nerdy dude says
he hasn't recorded sending it. Oh my god, I love you. Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak. This December 16 2009. Time here
Gitmo nation media assassination episode 157. This is no agenda
scanning the C span transmissions for The Real News
because we can and coming to you from the minimum security
containment sell crackpot command centre and Gitmo nation
West San Francisco, California in the morning. I'm Adam curry

last week. I'm John C. Dvorak. Dragwon Buzzkill.
You're gonna try and look all smug and stuff. About what that
I missed up to date on the last show.
Oh, you did a really good
morning to you, John. Morning. Everybody on the stream and in
the chat room. No agenda stream.com. And no agenda
chat.com. For those of you who don't know, we do the show live
twice a week. Usually around nine o'clock Pacific Standard
Time Gitmo nation West. A little bit late today. My apologies for
the early service, but even even the holy men have have some
other you know, I had had to have a chat with God this
morning.
We have an executive producer this week. Good. We got we got
rolling on APL we have our old buddy Stephen pills. mocker.
Oh, that's a Dutch friend. Is he not? Yeah, Belgian Belgian.
Right. Cool.
He decided to give us a $200.90 90 cents is let's make a
deal. Number just in case just
in case someone else came in, right. Excellent. Thank you very
much, Steve. Is that the only executive producer?
Yeah. And and he says because I made the valiant effort to
pronounce his name pronounce his name properly. How's my car
thing?
You're doing a very good job. Steven, congratulations, you are
the executive producer of no agenda, Episode 157. Please feel
free to put that on your resume use us as a reference. It's a it
really does look good as a credit, right, underneath candy
striper. But seriously, you know, people take note of this
stuff, and they know what it means. It means that you that
you're in media, and and you've got a clue. So congratulations,
and we appreciate the support. It's always good to have a
recurring executive producer on the show.
So there's a bunch of interesting news this week. In
fact, I was like all over the map. Yeah, I agree.
And I'm sure you're gonna roll right into it. Maybe I can help
you because I've already seen the clips.
A lot. This was I don't have any clips. But the this is not a
clip related. But there's a there's a new Boeing Boeing
cover this Cory Doctorow, if anybody doesn't know the writer
who is kind of caught up to an extreme with copyright law. He
thinks some Spanish aspects to it, and he doesn't let
especially the fair use and public domain
Is he is he a proponent of the Creative Commons copyright
licence? Yeah, he's
one of those guys. And he's also kind of a proponent of, you
know, public domain being what it used to be not what it is
now, which is non existent.
Thanks to the Disney Corporation. Well, Disney was
one
of them, but everybody jumped on this bandwagon. And now the
latest thing and you're gonna read about this here and there
is that apparently Canada is being browbeaten by the EU to
adopt some scribble majors that are going to change Canadian
copyright law to such an extreme that there's actually a
provision for the most ludicrous aspect to that is taking these
things to an extreme. If I have a copy written book, by the way,
there's some aspects of this, which is that in other words, if
you create content like we do here on this show, you know, a,
it becomes something you can use it as a commodity, who's buy it
and sell it. But let's say I sell you a I'm a book store and
I sell you a book. Whatever it is, that badly shrugged. Yes.
Oh, what a fine idea, John, that book actually should be early,
early in the show, I
get it out of the way. So I still Yeah. Now if you resell
the book,
it's my property and resell
know what? It's now you have to track down the copyright owner
and give them a royalty on the sale.
This is your right this this this started with music first
where you weren't and I remember this conversation when, when DRM
and mp3 is came out. And it was all about you know, okay, look,
if I buy a CD, and I play that CD to my heart's content, and
then I take it to a swap meet and I or if I just decide I want
to give it away, or if I want to sell it for a buck, then it's my
property. I bought it. And I remember with digital, we
smooth, smooth slyly kind of move towards that direction of
well, you know, you don't actually own it, you're kind of
just renting it and everyone kind of glossed over it. And you
know, he cared, right, we had the shit on our iPod and we were
playing it and we weren't thinking about that. But even
with a digital, you could not resell that song.
This all began in the 70s. Late 70s. I was very young man, John,
the This began with a software entrepreneur named Seymour
Rubinstein Shima Rubenstein, who was the purveyor of WordStar
among other products, had developed a very interesting
ironclad licencing agreement. And I've talked to see more
about this over the years. And he always believed that in some
day, in the distant, not too distant future or distant
future, everything would be licenced, including books and
television shows that you watch. So you can't copy them. You
can't because you're licenced it and you make maybe you can make
one backup for personal use, which they're always fighting
against that too, by the way. So the idea of everything being
licenced evolved into the shrink wrap licence, which became law,
which is, which is that Terms of Service licence that when you
open up a CD used to be floppies, for the
end user agreement that is on a piece of paper, when you rip
open the package, you have
accepted it? Yes, you are now you are now under contract,
I always get I always say have your 13 year old kid open it,
because they're not bound by the same legal restrictions. Anyway,
like, that's gonna help. John C. Dvorak tip, this John C. Dvorak
Tip of the Day. So the this evolved into the terms of
service agreements that are on websites. And of course, the
phone rings right now. And I'm gonna go hang up. But the terms
of service agreement became law legally binding. So I expect you
to go to workout org slash blog and look at the terms of service
there, you'll find one of the more interesting ones because I
have all kinds of weird stuff in there, which is all legal.
And now as I'm actually reading your website, I am bound by the
terms of your legal agreement.
Yes. Which means you can't really do you know, I can, and
then great, crazy thing about the terms of service on the on
the websites is that most of them say and this is legal to,
most of them say that I can change this on the fly, and
you're bound by the changes, or the changes, even though you
didn't agree to them in the first
place. Where do I find your terms of service? John? Well,
I think you can go devore.org/blog/tos I'm not sure
I'll do that. We'll go on in the show notes. Yeah, good in the
show notes. But anyway, so that's evolved into the, you
know, just gets more and more onerous, and nobody seems to
complain about it. And so the next thing, you know, we got the
situation evolving where you, you really don't want to have
ownership of anything and right, you might as well take it to an
extreme but just licenced your furniture,
you know, I should We should make no agenda underwear, where
there's a whole licence agreement by opening this by
opening this underwear, you are bound by the following terms of
service and you can give it to your woman.
Sexual requirements in there, by the way, yes, of course. No
one's done that yet. But anyway, the whole thing is a fiasco. So
the Canadians, apparently I don't know what the point of
this is, or whether knowing this but there's a lot of stories
about the Canadians capitulating to various demands by the US in
the EU regarding the Canadian copyright laws, which is
somewhat different than everybody else's. I don't know
what the deal is. But I do know this as we we get very few
donations from Canada, we got none this week.
Well, this, of course, is all probably in the ramp up to the
actor, which we started talking about two years ago. This is the
global copyright agreement, which is so important to our
national No security that the Obama administration will not
release any information about it, some bits and pieces have
trickled through. And we pretty much know that there's going to
be a global three strikes you're out law for downloading
copyrighted material without permission or payment over the
internet. But, you know, I think most of that is really just a
precursor to censorship, which, by the way, this week was
completely rolled out in Australia. So, you know, just a
matter of time before we'll get no no donations from Australia,
either, because I'm sure we will be outlawed.
Well, we got none this week. Well, there you go. It's really,
the idea is that if you can create these, these, these
barriers, with copyright law against public domain and
everything else in between, and ownership of books and
information, you can at some point, you just you stop the
flow of uncontrolled information. In other words, you
you just the only people that would be doling out information
would be government agencies and public relations firms. And just
pretty
much what what mainstream news is today, PR firms send out a
press release, a journalist picks that up, rewrite or let's
say a news wire picks that up, usually, there may be a little
bit of a rewrite, and they'll pull some quotes, you know, so
these are quotes that are come direct come directly from the
from the news release. And once in a while, there's a journalist
that will call the organisation directly and get a new a
personal quote. But yeah, that's that's pretty much the way it
is. And it will be the Ministry of Truth, who was giving you
your news and your information? Totally.
I was once at a meeting with some public relations
professional who was the only one that was pretty honest about
it. And she says, you know, as far as I'm concerned, we provide
all the news for the public, and all you guys do is just
regurgitate a copy.
Well, in France now. We've been talking about the newspaper
bailouts. Sarko Z. libera. El presidente a has implemented a
plan that starts this fall so actually started this fall I
should say, giving every 18 to 24 year old citizen of Gitmo
nation false get more nation by get a one year subscription free
to the newspaper of their choice. And they say it's to
stimulate people reading news, but then if you follow along
with the with the Waxman proposal in the US House, which
would be for tax breaks and other subsidies of newspapers,
and then we have Gitmo nation lowlands where they're actually
subsidising 60 young journalists, and there's been
many reports of that there was, man, I should look that up. And
I should actually translate it there was a journalist in the
Netherlands we have not heard from since I might mention, who
said yeah, you know, this is actually how it works. And I
have a meeting and he actually took pictures of the secret
meeting room in the courthouse, where he would meet with
government officials, and they would tell him what to write
about either certain legal cases or, or different topics of, of
interest. I mean, this is and this has been going on for a
long time ever since it was it was it Roosevelt, who, who
thanked all of the journalists from Time magazine, etc. You
know, he met with them basically Bilderbergers who do this as
well than in the Bilderberg meetings, there's all kinds of
editors from top publications who are invited to this and they
never report on it, you know, because that's basically where
they set the agenda discuss what will and will not be printed and
made public to the
you know, this used to happen with Microsoft, Microsoft used
to have these meetings at one of their buildings on the Hood
Canal is because the yearly Hood Canal meeting, and they would
invite the top writers in the Washington Post The New York
Times Wall Street Journal, and you know, mostly mainstream
media publications, and they sit take him out and they you know,
of course, these guys all have these requirements that they
can't take more than $20 in gifts and all the rest of it
meanwhile, they get a you know, an audience with a Gates camera
and the rest of them along with a you know, overnight stay,
which is supposed to be somehow reimburse the company for it's a
scam and they listened to the propaganda over it but then they
never report on that itself is not disclosed because the
corruption of the nondisclosure agreement you know, is permeated
all media. So they sign off that they can't say anything and you
know me well I finally I was never invited these by the way,
because I don't exposure. Yeah, right. sign a nondisclosure if
I'm like, you know, if I'm a board member, some corporation
but I'm not sure But I won't sign a nondisclosure as a
journalist. I mean, it just doesn't. I mean, it just seems
unethical to me, everyone bitches and moans about the fact
that I go out to expensive dinners, but they say non
disclosures. I mean, it seems that's the problem. Anyway, they
show everyone's eye, but somebody told me all the
details. And of course, I wrote it up in one of the columns. And
that was the end of it, it killed the meetings. But
let's not underestimate what a dinner can mean, little closer
to home just two nights ago, one of our investment firms,
outstanding investment firm, who really has four major
investments in media, they put together an evening at a great
restaurant here in the city, I'm going to look up the name of it,
because we actually, I'm sure you've been there. And they so
they invited the founders of was it. Hold on a second, let me
just let me find the name of this place. It was provocative
for Bahco rubato per Bahco P er be a CCO per bucho and an
airbender of nice restaurant, they had a huge long table
private room. And they and they got to come the reporters from
Time magazine, New York Times Bloomberg guy had a great talk
with a Bloomberg guy by the way. Your us
stage you'll actually get
there, but bear with me. Still. I can see that that Yes. You
know, it's a staged event. But you know, it was a nice dinner,
they were treated well, great food, great wine. If you if you
want to keep getting the free dinners as a starving
journalist, you're not going to really slam somebody, you're
just not, you may be critical. You may have a certain No, I'm
not
gonna argue the point. Now I go out to expensive dinners, but I
don't go to these group meetings A and B, I only go to gos. And
with people like to tell tales out of class about their
competition, mostly. But the but the point is is that I'm making
is that there's a corrupt factor. That's, you know, it's
all over the place. It has to be taken into account. But nothing
to me is more corrupt than the nondisclosure agreement where
where somebody signs off on saying that they never had this
meeting, or they can't say they went to the thing.
As a journalist, I would say that's, that's pretty much
standard operating procedure. Wow.
Well, based upon that, I think we can definitely make a choice
between I have at least three today for the US trash.
So I'd have to say there were three main news events, all of
which could have been deemed or can be deemed as the, the media
distraction of the week. I'll start with and this just blew me
away. Actually, the Bloomberg guy who I had dinner with told
me about this, and I hadn't heard about it. He knew nothing
about Copenhagen, but he knew about this, Bloomberg.
Well, he knew nothing about Copenhagen. Very little.
He really very, very little. I was amazed. And I was telling
him a few things like, hey, you know, actually, I think I went a
little overboard. He was like, I have to go home and Google some
stuff right now. I'll see you later about another set of White
House. party crashers. Yeah. And I was amazed by this and like,
Wow, these guys, you know, they were so desperate to cover up.
Would I actually have a clip of that to cover up the $1.2
trillion spending bill that was rammed through the house? One
point, let me just repeat that $1.2 trillion. And here we are
talking about Medicare for weeks on end, which is about as less
than that, but about the same amount as proposed. But no one
as far as I can tell, reported on this. And there was some real
discussion going on some angry congressmen and women. There's a
lot of pork in this thing to understand. No kidding.
And where are we getting this money?
Well, hold on a sec. Before we get to that. i The only thing I
could think of myself as Wow, there was so desperate to
distract the attention that they said fuck it, you know that that
party crasher thing work. Do that one again. Pull that one
out quick. Let's do it. Then, of course, there's Silvio
Berlusconi,
by the way in the party crasher thing. I watched one of the
congressional hearings on that. And it's a scam, obviously,
because the White House won't even send their social people
that don't.
executive privilege. The Social Secretary does not have to speak
under the executive privilege privilege clauses.
The whole thing is either a scam or there's something else going
on. Do you think John? Well, you know, the other thing that might
be going on, right, based on your theories, is the
possibility that they're going to keep doing this as you're
going to have these these, these people getting close to the
president at the drop of a hat as a message from the CIA, to
Dell Obama that You know, he's got no protection.
Well, this is the way of course, it's being perceived in two
ways. Many people are scared saying, wow, you know what, our
president is unprotected and others are saying, Hey, if you
can't even we can't even protect the president. How can we
protect the country? You know, that meme was also discussed at
the table. Now, of course, we have a mantra we have an entire
formula for this programme, not to be taken literally our
formula is this. We go out, we get people in the mouth. So
Gitmo nation Italia was listening.
I know this is a great distraction, but this is more of
a European distraction. I think Americans paid much attention to
it. No, not
at all. Because no one I mean, Italy is so engrossed with their
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who's one of the
richest men in the world. He owns all of the media,
literally, he owns the media. So he has a complete lockdown. My
sister who lives there, Willow, who is a contributor to the
programme, says, you know, I have a theory don't look over
here theory says up until Sunday, the main news in Italy,
was that a pentacle, which is a mafia turncoat had accused
Berlusconi and Dell'Utri, which is one of his Jabra Ionis of
having very serious mafia connections, specifically, when
they entered politics in 93, when they founded the Forza
Italia political party, so this was the top of the news. You
know, people are really focusing in and they've been trying to
get to nail Berlusconi for a long time and, you know, with
with illegal campaign contributions, then all sudden
he changes the law. So that that is outside the statute of
limitations. So he's been real slippery, he
has been fantastically slick. Yeah, he's
the he's the Teflon and a prime minister. So this is top of the
news. And then all of a sudden, boom, we get some crazy guy who,
who threw a statue. Miniature statue, and I have the footage,
I put it in the show notes at no agenda. show.com It's very
violent. And because most of the most immediate, you know, has
kind of like a bunch of people. I don't really see it, but there
was I was watching, I think it was right, you know, and I got a
clip from there. And you see the guy. I mean, he throws this
thing hard. I mean, he busted his teeth. I mean, it really,
really hit him. So it's quite a way to go for immediate
distraction.
But pie was better.
Well, maybe they said, you know, pie. He's like, what's that? You
know, it's anyway, our, our listener there and in Italy,
Willow asserts that, she says, Oh, here's what's gonna happen.
He's gonna go to the hospital. He's gonna go to the guy's
parents house, and we'll do a whole emotional show of how he
forgives him because of course, he's mentally ill, and the media
will be all over it to capture it. And then he'll be Mr. Good
guy again. Yeah, turn the other cheek as it were. So there was
that distraction? Which,
yeah, that's a gem if this should save, especially if it's
orchestrated, well,
again, it's quite a ways to go but you know, these guys will go
to any, any number of desperate measures. boskone is the hero of
hookers and blow. I mean, this is this is all about that he's a
party animal. And we had this Sarkozy call them up and I'm
sorry, a Putin call him up and say, Hey, man, you real macho,
you really stood up to that. And of course, Putin is the guy who
has official pictures taken of himself riding bareback, bare
chested on a horse. Yeah, on a wild stallion. While he's
hunting, he's hunting for elephants or whatever. And then
the final one, which completely blew me away, because you know,
what is happening today, John, today in the Senate Finance
Committee, after the the hearings in the Senate, the
Senate Finance Committee will vote to decide if Ben Bernanke
should be reelected as the chairman of the Federal Reserve,
and what and what happens just just just one day before all of
this, Ben Bernanke is announced as the person of the year on
Freon for Time Magazine, which used to be known as the Man of
the Year is now the Person of the Year. And if this isn't a an
orchestrated, perfectly laid out plan, then I don't know what is,
of course, it makes total sense because Ben Bernanke, look at
the other choices, we could have chosen Obama, which would have
been a very logical choice. I mean, you got a Nobel Peace
Prize, you might as well throw him up on the you could have
chosen Michelle. Michelle would have been an excellent choice. I
mean, there's plenty of people you could have chosen.
posthumously. Here's something you could have done, you could
have put 3000 faces on the cover of all of our servicemen and
women who have died in my humble opinion in vain, fighting
foreign wars which are senseless and that have been good. That
would have been a really good one. Yeah, one of those big
collages. is, but no, of course they choose the actual boss, the
actual ruler, he is Obama's boss, they choose Ben Bernanke
and put him on the cover. It's That's just unbelievable as as a
move, that's all that people are talking about. And you probably
will only here somewhere next week just before Christmas when
no one's really paying any attention. Oh, he was
reinstated. And congratulations, business as usual.
Well, the guy going after was Bernie Sanders of Vermont. And
Bernie's not a guy that we would agree with on most topics. But
he's really irked about this Bernanke guy. So he gave a good
a big press conference. And he brought a bunch of people out to
moan and groan. And I have a clip from one of the people who
was a professor, who is a professor of economics and law,
and I think he's at University of Missouri. Absolutely. But
anyway, he just blasts printmaking pieces of it if you
want, but he blasts him for like, it's just that just a
broad side. That is like, when you listen to this, you go, why
is this guy in this in this office at all? And you know,
he's?
Well, you're you will recall, we played the 1314 minute clip. I
believe that was two episodes ago, of his confirmation
hearings where he was blasted in the in the in the committee on C
span. Yeah. As the guy responsible for everything.
Yeah.
agrees with that, even though he's starting to hear a meme
that he
saved it. Oh, we bought us on the precipice.
Yeah, we would have been, we would have been, you know,
nothing has improved by the way, unemployment still going up.
People are dropping them off to unemployment. Also, the numbers
are really bogus now, but they're extremely high.
Businesses, not good people are not getting those nothing has
improved one iota. And we don't know for a fact because there's
no way of doing a double blind study that if he had done let
these big companies fail, the ones that are too big to fail,
just let them go back bankrupt. You know, companies go bankrupt
all the time, airlines go bankrupt. And they stay in
business. It's not like they disappear off the face of the
earth. But they go through a process a normal process. But by
bailing all these guys out, is created probably worse in the
situation.
Did you have a chance to read the Rolling Stone article that I
posted? Last week, you must read this because then you will see
how the Obama administration carefully orchestrated people
going in and out in order to facilitate this huge bailout,
which it, of course, is just a setup. So everyone gets the
money, go buy it, buy some real assets, buy some land and
Paraguay, buy some aeroplanes and boats and buy your house
because you'll be bankrupt and, and then get ready for the final
collapse, which is imminent, and is, is probably three years out.
And you know what, let's play this professor's clip first. And
then I want to I want to I want people to hear what's happening
in in Congress in the house with this $1.2 trillion that was
spent that no one is talking about. So here's the professor.
Let me introduce a professor, Bill Black built from what I've
been asked to be very brief to give you more time for
questions. So I'm going to concentrate only on the
regulatory side. First thing that you need to know is that
the Fed was unique. It had authority under an act called
Hohepa. During this entire time period, to regulate and prevent
the subprime lending by otherwise unregulated entities.
These are the mortgage bankers primarily, that made 80% of the
non prime loans. The Fed under Greenspan and under Bernanke
refused to use that authority. And it refused to use that
authority, even though the FBI warned publicly and
congressional testimony beginning in September 2004,
that there was a quote, epidemic, unquote, of mortgage
fraud developing and predicted it would produce a financial
crisis unless it was prevented. And Bernanke is colleague on the
Fed Ned Gramlich personally warned that there was a housing
bubble of immense proportions developing and that there were
extraordinary problems in subprime lending, and that the
examiners needed to be sent in. And this is what the Senator was
just talking about. There was never a disagreement on
substance between Greenspan and Bernanke. They were the twins on
these issues. They refuse to send in the examiners the They
refuse to use their authority under the statute,
certainly be enough for people to understand that this is
intentional, and then it's set up. And I think we just might
want to remind people that the Federal Reserve, even though it
has, we've said this so many times, even though it has a
governmental sounding name, that it is a group, a conglomerate, a
cabal, it's a profit make, I think it is, I think it actually
is a for profit organisation that is made up of private
banks. And they have groups of banks, groups of banks, and by
the way, an unpublished list, they don't even, they're not
even transparent enough to let us know who actually are in this
Cabal. And their entire job is to make money. And the way you
make money, people just kind of can't understand, and we don't
have time on this show to get into it. I don't think we could
even explain it. But there's plenty of YouTube videos out
there that do a pretty good job is that when a bank lends you
money, so when if a bank, if a bank is you, John C. Dvorak, a
mortgage for $100,000, which pretty much about covers the
value of your home, as I've seen it, they actually then on their
books can create, it's an asset, they can then lend out another
$900,000 to other people. And this is how the system works.
And because it's a closed loop, all of these banks communicate
through the Central Bank, which is the Federal Reserve and other
countries, it's called the central bank. But that's exactly
what it is. This is how they control the entire financial
system. And this is what you know, is is not taught in
school, obviously, for very good reason. Because Ooh, boy, no one
would want to catch on to their scam. But this is this is how it
works and and they've enrich themselves and their friends.
And they've all been in positions of bankers. So
Bernanke was the CEO of Goldman Sachs, you know, who's winning
right now, who is doing fantastically well, Goldman
Sachs? You can look at it however you want. But
coincidence? I think not. It's just not that you have to
understand in general, in principle, all people are very
good. And all people can be very bad. And sometimes the bad
overshadows the rest. And it's the cycle, the bad is now in
power. Do you want to do more of this? Professor? Yeah, he's
got another point. That's even more interesting.
Go forward in time. It is, I think, no secret that the
Chamber of Commerce is not exactly a friend of the Obama
administration. And the President has just said that he
wasn't elected to represent Fat Cat bankers. Ben Bernanke is the
person who delivered for the fat cat bankers in the form of the
APA, the American Bankers Association. Wow.
That's the link you sent me right about the American Bankers
Association. Yeah, yeah. We'll talk about that in a second.
And for the Chamber of Commerce, because what they desperately
wanted, and what Ben Bernanke signalled approval for picking
up even their talking points, and the language he used was to
gut the accounting rules this year. And so now banks don't
have to recognise losses. So what do they do they report that
they're highly profitable, and that produces immense executive
bonuses. We have lied at the behest of entities that are
completely repugnant to the administration, supposedly, and
yet the administration seeks to reappoint
Yeah. Yeah, that that is fascinating. Because the article
you sent me, John, and that's actually listed for those
because the links are so long, that's actually listed under the
Divorce Act links heading in the shownotes. No agenda show.com
called naming the enemy where the National People's Action,
who I guess every every spring, they go out and they organise
and they go protest something, you know, these are very smart,
smart protesters, because while everyone is looking at, you
know, people like Ken, what's his name? Was the City Bank guy?
Yeah, the City Bank guy,
Ken Lewis, you know, and everyone's and the media
distraction is about the golden toilets. Yes. That's, that's
actually that really is gutter journalism. So everyone's
talking about you know, the bankers pooping on gold toilets.
The true evil is, is being
ignored.
While Yeah, the true evil is being ignored. That would be the
American Bankers Association, in particular, a guy named Ed
Yingling. And so now they're going to protest on his front
lawn which is appropriate. And yeah.
Which is why, by the way that Goldman Sachs which is also
received Goldman Sachs had a big A, almost as many Goldman Sachs
executives are being targeted by these, these,
which is why they've all registered handguns. Yeah,
they're all what they're, they're armed to
the teeth, because they think they're gonna get their houses
are going to be stormed. And by the way, it's always a
possibility, I would be armed to the teeth, too. If I was a
Goldman Sachs guy, I'd have more than a few handguns and a couple
of shotguns. And I have a bunch of security guards around my
place. And I wouldn't let the kids go out alone.
You know, I got a quick note from one of our producers. I'm
on and he said, so I'm at work eight miles away from the
Miramar bass. I just saw to transport helicopters, Chinooks,
three F fifteens, a stealth bomber and an AC 130. fly
overhead. My guess is they came up from Camp Pendleton on the
way to the Miramar base, there is a tremendous amount. And
there's lots of reports about this a tremendous amount of
troop movements in the United States in particular in the
Republic of California. And there are many out there and I
unfortunately, I have to subscribe to it, that are
thinking that you know there is an actual worry amongst the
government unreported that we could get some form of real
public disorder because people are really hungry and pissed
off.
Yeah, well, that's been going on for a while, you know, the
public is pissed off, but they they're not. You know, they're
the problem is that people that that have orchestrated
demonstrations tend to be socialists, just straight up.
And they don't have, they don't get a good response to the
public at large. Because when you start digging around, you're
fine. They're always part of the world's worker party, which
really wants to overthrow the government completely, and
replace it with a Hugo Chavez character and that kind of
thing. So it doesn't really do that we've managed to divide and
conquer. And I've been watching a couple of different left
wingers now and listening to their complaints about things in
the end, if you go to the complete right wing to the Tea
Party, folks, and then you go to the left wing to this, you know,
the progressive, the most left wing of the progressives, they
actually if you start listening to him, they're both have the
same complaint. Yeah, it's almost identical except for the
stuff the middling things, the stuff in the middle, there's a
bunch of stuff in the middle that they disagree on
completely. But this stuff, the big picture stuff, the big
economic issues, the corruption and all this kind of things are
in total agreement with amazing to me, but they got it we've got
to divide and conquer approach that's been beautifully
executed. And these groups never talked to each other. If they do
that. They're throwing fists, because they're throwing fists
over, you know, abortion rights or right to life, or some of
these, you know, crazy things in the middle that really are
separating the two groups so that you come up with climate's
another one they've progressive far left. They're big believers
in the climate thing. And the ones on the right, hate they
think is bogus. But they both agree that cap and trade is bad,
but they can't get together on this. I find it fascinating that
we have this dichotomous and it's in a set up by the by the
right wing ideologues and output Rush Limbaugh in that group who
have a checklist. And there they have a checklist of what you
have to believe in as a conservative. And this checklist
is extremely rigid, which is very unconservative. Like if you
think about it, is extremely rigid, you have to bid and if
you're not part of it, you're near a rhino, a Republican in
name only, or some other, you know, some other, you know,
moniker thrown at you to indicate you're less than a rib,
you know,
because I would have to make make no Make no mistake Rush
Limbaugh is on board with the programme. I mean, he's he's
part of the divide and conquer or what is often called the left
right paradigm, where you just have people fighting over stuff
all the time. And meanwhile, it's business as usual. And the
stealing and The corruption continues and this is not unique
to the United States. I it's, it's pretty much
goes way back.
So do you want to hear a little bit of Representative John
Culberson and it was it was interesting because I got this
new iPhone app, the C span iPhone app. I'm so happy with
this. All they need is a little record button. Oh my god, that
would be perfect. So you can get C span one, C span two and then
C span radio. So I'm listening. Yesterday morning as I'm
shaving. It's like it was like 830 and of course it's lit later
on the East Coast. And I Hear this guy go off and like holy
crap. And I have to say, thank God for C span. So I went to the
website and the entire 10 hours of debate over this $1.2
trillion spending bill, which is disguised as salaries and
clothing for our troops fighting wars overseas. But there's a
whole bunch of you know, all of a sudden, there's like all kinds
of other things in there. You know, I read through the bill,
of course, because you can now you can download it. But that
wasn't the case when they started this. When they started
this debate, in fact, it was completely the opposite of the
transparency that the Obama administration promised this and
this is not quite as long as your professor clip It's a
little long. But listen to this guy go off telling it straight
up as it is. Forget about what's in the bill. Just listen to how
our representatives are working and what they have to do. And
what it's related to
one of the most fiscally conservative members of the
House, Mr. Culberson, how much time does the gentleman yield
such time as he may concern? Thank you, gentleman from Texas
is recognised.
Speaker was to slow down for just a minute and think about
what is happening here today. The house is scheduled to vote
today on a package of four massive bills spending over 1.1
trillion hard earned tax dollars,
which of course is not true because we don't actually have
the money. But that's aside
that will be paid for by additional debt that our
children must repay. Worst of all, these bills were only
posted on the Internet last night to the American people to
see about 11 o'clock. So literally 13 hours for the
public, for the taxpayers, for the members of Congress to read
these bills, spending over 1000 $100 trillion.
Interesting he misspeaks there because it'd be 1001. One $100
billion? Not Yeah. But you remember what the promise was?
Don't you John, the promise was everything would be posted for a
few days or whatever, two hours? Yeah, so he brings this up
correctly. And I'm
scouted around now Madam Speaker. I'm scouted around
Madam Speaker. And they're the only copy of the bill before us
defence bill that anybody can find is the one up there on the
clerk's desk. These bills were put up on the internet 13 hours
ago, they're not even outside in the house lobby. And it's always
tradition at an absolute minimum, that members of
Congress would be able to physically read the bill outside
in the lobby. But this is all I found.
So so let me see holds up an empty cardboard box. So let me
just reiterate what's happening here. that Congress is debating
a bill which includes all kinds of new additions, which is known
as pork. It's all been put into this bill which the members of
the House who are about to debate this and subsequently
vote on it have not been able to read it has been withheld from
them.
It's empty box outside the lobby as all we have before us today.
1000 $100 trillion spent in a little over 12 hours. Why the
rush? Why now this
is the good one. So of course, the question is, why do we have
to do this? You know, this is a lot of money. It's very
important because it is about supplying our troops. Of course,
there's all kinds of other stuff. And the debate is
fantastic. If you have 10 hours, I listened to about six of it.
Are we rushing to do this. So Speaker Pelosi can catch a plane
to Copenhagen, we're spending $1.1 trillion on top of the 6.7
trillion that this liberal majority has already spent this
year. That means in the course of 12 months. This liberal
majority in Congress has already spent in this house nearly $8
trillion in 12 months. It's unprecedented it is
unsupportable it will bankrupt this nation, and crush our
children under a burden of debt that they cannot possibly repay.
without crushing tax burdens and massive sacrifices. We may be
the first generation in American history that leaves our children
worse off than we than then the world we inherited from our
parents. It's just unacceptable and outrageous. And as my
colleague representative Brian Baird and I, Madam Speaker
introduced legislation earlier this year, to require the house
to lay these bills out every bill for at least 72 hours
before they can be voted on on the floor. And I just want to
ask the speaker a simple question. What's more important
given the American people time to read these bills to give the
members of Congress time to read these bills or to catch an
aeroplane to a global warming conference, that's really what's
going on here today.
And so of course, I googled that. And lo and behold, and of
course, this is also in the show notes. US House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi will lead a 21 member congressional delegation to the
United Nations sponsored meeting in Copenhagen. And she says, Oh,
yes, you gotta love it. We see Copenhagen as a meeting about
job creation, jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. I don't get all that all that? Do you
hear that? What's happening? Do you hear the whole world using
this jobs mean? Do you hear that listeners? It's how we move
forward to create millions of clean energy jobs and new
technologies to keep America number one. So there you have it
are. And of course, the way it's supposed to work is yes, that
was the whole deal is we get to read it at people like John and
I read this stuff. And then you get to comment on it. You can
call your representatives that's what these people aren't just
like they didn't come out of the poop, you know, the
representatives, they're elected, you're supposed to be
able to talk to them and and if you want even lobby them, that's
that's allowed and have input before they go in. And now
they're essentially voting blind.
Pelosi flew in at 767 that she required the Air Force to
provide for her I
don't think it's big enough. I think she had to get a 747
Because a 767. I don't know if it can make the trek in one go
well, actually from DC. Oh, yeah. I
can't No, no problem. can forget, you're right.
It can it can. So, you know, that's, that's the government at
work. And, you know, you should if it's so unfortunate, because
the resources are all there. You know, C span is there. You can
hear this in real time. I did a little informal poll at the
office today. Yeah, yesterday. And it was
we had another poll from the office. Yes, we
had a jingle. And so these are young kids, but you know, in
their mid 20s, some of the just about to hit 30. And I said, we
have a little production meeting. I say hey, who here
knows about Copenhagen? One person? The other one that Amy?
And I said so what do you know about it? Well, there's
something about some global warming thing going on over
there and she gets her news from said I watch headline news. I
get 20 minutes everything I need in the morning. Oops. And then
I'm good and I'm good to go. And the other ones had never even
heard of anything going on in Copenhagen. So what's worse is
not these people are not not not being indoctrinated. The ones
that the 20 20% in the room that's one person who did know
about what's going on got it from CNN Headline News and a 20
minute nugget of course you knew everything about Tiger Woods and
everything about the white house party crashers don't even bring
up Balloon Boy by the way he would have been great for Time
Magazine's Person of the Year that would have been a perfect
one balloon boy you know, and and and it saddens me and she
did give me a good a good tip though. And this is something
that won't you know, we'll get the stream rockin and somewhere
in in the New Year, which, which is the entire plan when I quit
my day job. He said, can you just give me a tour? Can you
give me in five minutes what's going on? And I said, Okay,
here's what's happening. Copenhagen is a setup that Al
Gore participated in global warming is not true. It was made
so that they can put in global rules global global governance,
and eventually will lead to the male sterilisation,
sterilisation pill so that you can not have more than one
child, if any children at all to reduce the population have total
control over you. You said, oh, cool, thanks. Okay. Could you
just do that every single day because I've listened to that. A
good buddy of mine, I'll put a link in the show notes. There
was Boy Yeah, like that. He had it. He wrote a great blog post.
He said, I'm setting up just like the carbon credits exchange
that Al Gore has is I'm setting up a child exchange so we're
gonna have child credits. So we so you can actually great idea
Yeah, you can sell your birthright. So if you're if
you're a woman of birth, yielding age or younger, we
could you could give this for your 13th birthday, like your
Bar Mitzvah. You know, here you go. If you decide not to have
children, then you can sell that credit to people who do want to
have more than one child. It's a great idea John, we could be cuz
gazillionaires
we need to set up the exchange to do this? Yes, like Al Gore
did, we have to see what Gore did for his Climate Exchange
System and we can just copy it.
So meanwhile, the whole argument there in Copenhagen is it's been
shifted craftily so cuz of course there are hundreds of
1000s of people are protesting and people are getting arrested
and even the Danish are going like dude, you know, this is
this is pretty extreme you're
reporting on this correctly
would you implemented draconian laws to basically stopped people
from protesting but they want this they do want the protests
to take place because the protesters are protesting the
wrong thing. They think they think they're protesting cap and
trade because it doesn't actually solve the problem. What
they should be protesting is the entire lie. And the fact that
this is about ushering in a one world government and to have
less people on Earth, which I would assert also has not been
proven as the solution. Even though China thinks it's a good
idea. And this was that crazy woman from Canada, who, who
writes about it. She's She's a former reporter.
I don't know what you're talking about, oh, have to look that
up. She's, who by the way has two children herself? She says,
oh, no, everyone should have no more than one child. But she has
to.
The funny thing is this, the only idiots that would adopt
this policy are just going to be swamped under by them, you know,
the poorest people in the world who have the who use children as
a as a form of entertainment. They have to do some 6789 kids,
you know, they need them to help, you know as cheaply. Hey,
kid,
dance, monkey boy. Make your daddy laugh really? Do
something. Do something funny. So I think we should seriously
investigate that. John, we should the child credit exchange
this? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a
child credit exchange. CC. Yeah. Has a nice ring to it. Yeah,
doesn't it? Yeah.
So we're on the topic of the global warming debate. Why don't
you play the jingle by the way, since we might as well
we might as well open up the gate. Sorry, I'm a little bit
slow. To the gate to the to the climate.
might actually be interesting to play this. Today, I'm very aware
of the huge amount of listeners we have in Gitmo nation East
known as Europe on Newsnight. Which is, is of course, a
programme that is deemed as journalistically outstanding.
They had on trying to look for the for the notes here. They had
on almost irrelevant, but listen to this guy who was talking
about the climate gate emails, and how he is changing the
truth. Maybe we just call it lying. And then who he actually
accuses of releasing this just in time for Copenhagen, listen
to this. Second, why that happened? That's not correct.
Here we go.
exaggerated. It sounds like things have been held back from
the public. And this sense of distrust has me concerned
then to by the way, that is exactly the object that the
hackers had in getting into the emails. Remember that these
emails go back to 1998. So they've been accumulating them.
So that's line number one, where this is just technically dumb to
say this, so they've been doing this since 1998. They've been
saving them waiting to release the horse crap. Of course it is.
Dude, it's like they just got the archive is like people save
their emails. You know, you're supposed
to the guy. Okay. So the guy is doesn't either nobody's talking
about her. He's just an outlier. Yeah. Well, let's
listen to the rest. And they just released them in the week
before Copenhagen. Yeah. And that doesn't take away from her.
Let me let me come to
let me come to the fact he says, let me come to the
fact I just wanted to
look up at a second.
The strategy of these people who are hacking is important. Let me
also make this allegation for the first time in public. It's
an extraordinary sophisticated piece of work to hack into all
of these emails, and, and mobile phone conversations. When all
agencies have got the sophistication to manage that,
but I'll leave you to think about that.
While you need to get to the root of the server,
it's incredibly sophisticated. It is Professor Sir David King,
who is the United Kingdom's chief, who was the kingdom's
Chief Scientific Adviser between 2002 1007. And further he says
mobile phone conversations and what the hell is that? I think
what he's saying because you'll recall that there was a huge
scandal in the United Kingdom where the the gossip magazines
had access to mobile phone conversations you recall that?
Vaguely? Yeah, of course. Is that what happens? Is that is
that the first thing to go is the memory?
Yeah.
So he's talking about and thank God so easy asserting. Yeah,
really? Good point. Is he asserting that it's news
agencies or as you're asserting that it's me?
He's obviously just he just making some sort of blanket
accusation that you know, some sort of hacker some cabal of
hackers people against the correct oil companies? I don't
know. The guy is obviously the sounds corrupt. The guy's
creepy, his voice?
Yeah. Let me just make this let me just point out this fact.
This fact I must point out
so meanwhile, of course at the at the meeting, they the colours
of the global warming meeting, besides the fact that people
can't get in and so on, you know, it's just a mess over
there.
People outside the global warming conference are freezing.
Everything
that apparently did, I can go to the blog divorce.org/blog And
look this up, but Hugo Chavez comes out, and he'd receded
there. And he gives an anti capitalist anti Western speech
that apparently gets a standing Oh, you're essentially goes
after me. He hates us, right. So he goes after of course, he
didn't. And he has part of the reason to because I think the
the jackals tried to kill him a couple of times. And he finally
gave up on the, on the west. So he anybody who goes after us
accuses us of doing all these bad things. It says capitalism
is the problem, we need a socialist state, and the entire
place goes berserk with this, ladies and gentlemen, is what
it's all about. They want to set up, you know, the equivalent of
a caliphate, a world socialist government run by guys like this
would just steal money straight up without even having to, I
mean, forget the 72 hours of getting to read the bill or even
13 There'll be no zero hours. And and I think it was the
giveaway and you start to see these guys now coming out of the
woodwork because there's been some resistance by the West,
especially the United States, about where I don't know if we
should sign this. You know, we'll we'll look this do it next
year. And all those kinds of these guys are getting impatient
at trying to steal our money. And so now they're just coming
after us with all kinds of vitriol,
because you explain the word caliphate.
Yeah, caliphate is a is is essentially what the the Turkish
Empire was, when, when Muslims had essentially control of a
huge area of the Middle East Turkey, or parts of Russia and a
whole it's, it's essentially like an emperor, only it's run
under Muslim law. And the Caliphate is a is the desire to
have the entire world under one Muslim leader assaulted or
whatever you want to call him who would who would use a Muslim
authority to rule us all in some kind of gentle way.
And that alone, my friends is a $5 word you can use at the next
cocktail party caliphates, c l a s a t e.
I believe it's spelled. It's got pH. Oh, is that? Yeah. Hi,
Callie. See, Al I fac, wha tle
fate. Okay, wow, it's even better. And that alone should be
the price of admission that we believe you should pay for this
programme. Because your transition, I take this as my
transition, because we're about 50 minutes into the show. Well,
let me mention a few names while we're at
it. Well, go ahead.
I want to, we only got donations except for our executive
producer from only three countries in the world. I find
it fascinating. We got nothing from Australia, from Canada. All
our all of our donations came from the United States, the
United Kingdom, which is odd enough,
and the Netherlands and the Netherlands. And then other
ones, I have to say I've received at least at least 10
different emails from producers slash listeners in the
Netherlands who are pointing out you know, I have a couple of
Dutch links in the show notes, no agenda
show.com career.com divorce.org. They are, of course in Dutch,
you could do a Google translation. And people are Wow,
they're awake. They're seeing it. I mean, the whole because
it's the same playbook. It's the exact same thing taking place in
those countries. And they're switching on they're tuning in
and they Yeah,
it's a fractal. So every country that's going through this
process is having seen the same thing in different ways.
Although I do agree that the Netherlands is far out in front
of everybody else,
because they're gonna get the blackbox GPS installed in their
cars any day now. So yeah, they are there, which of course is
happening here.
So let's mention a few people. First of all, John Petrucci and
Laurie, Laurie corpi and John Trainor are continuing their
night March tonight them but in the Netherlands we've got a
Yusef to Mio in Amsterdam and he sent us a note which I'm going
to pass along to you because you need to hear this ready please
use an mp3 Tag Editor mp3 tag to change the cover picture type
from other to front cover other asset by iTunes this way the
great in all caps album art which by the way is great of the
show will also be displayed properly on Nokia devices.
Wow okay, this is very typical because I use iTunes to so we
record the show in raw a IFF which is done for one reason
only. That is should something crash during the show that I
still have that show and it's I don't I don't do a straight
record to mp3 or anything. Then I transcoded down to mp3 and I
use iTunes to to essentially put in the cover art and there is no
there is no functionality to change it to cover. Of course
because Apple has their own thing they don't really play
nice using the mp3 Tag Editor. Yeah,
I'll do that. I'll see if I can do that for for the show. Good
suggestion. Thank you.
I did of course we had Steven tells mocker who's from Belgium.
Yeah.
So he's always in the chat room. He's all over the place.
Okay, now we have ad dollars from Sander Bergen, hawks,
Bergen, pucks, Barragan and he says he only given us the ad
dollars to hear me pronounce. Zaandam again. Good job.
Do it a couple more times.
Pronunciation or not. It's Zam DOM. Zan DOM.
Like answered, I'm so dumb. So Zhan dumb.
Zaandam
okay but you have the inflection wrong. It sounds dumb not
zom John dumb that some dumb yeah okay. accent on the first
day but he's honest, I don't want to say what address he's
about tell us on a st which I will repeat. Pelicans strat is
that right? The pelicans, the pelicans?
strats. Yeah, Kelly can
strike. All right.
This is, this is why I do this show.
And and Raul's who I'm sure are getting his name straight from
Pontiac, Michigan gay 50 Daniel, shimmy Oh, shi M nyo and
Astoria. He didn't give us the required amount. But he did give
us $22.18 which was leftover in his paypal account. And he
mentioned he says he makes he's he's his side job. His hobby job
is to is to do music and do CDs occasionally. And now he says
this show of ours is giving him impetus to do more CDs, and
you'll give us the profits. Wow,
that's all well good. Send me a link to your store. And we'll
put that in the show notes with links to rock fantastic
and had to sit there and do some music. John Smith from Parts
Unknown gave us 100 hours because he was so he was only
going to give us 50 But he was so annoyed with those Beckwith
clips that we ran last week from PBS they gave us 100
Because he was annoyed by them. I was
annoyed I think annoying people's only way to get any
money. Andrew Green from London, gave us $100.01 a palindrome
which the British seem to be enamoured with. And then finally
our old friend Leon. Liam Liam Hemmings from Buckingham. Sure.
Give us 151 Let's take him and that's it for this week.
So you can count in your head that's not enough to have us go
full time. We do not receive enough in donations. I know it's
a tough time because it's Christmas. But please do not
forget your friendly internet pronounced educators who are
here watching hours of C span doing painfully what New York
Times reporter what does he make 150,000 a year
about 125 Maybe I'll settle
I'll take 125 I'll take that.
Well look at this other than let me read you this little clip
here from other editors just about from a salon article. I
found out that the GI Bill gay H Institute foundation the Bill
Gates Foundation Bill and Melinda Gates, Melinda Melinda
they've been giving money to the Discovery Institute which is
that see how a group that promotes creative design
creative intelligent design you know that they're anti
anti creationism? Yeah, no sorry anti evolution Yeah,
right. So I'm just gonna read the whole thing your other
foundations that have given money to discovery also seem
unsure whether donations may terminate tarnish their image,
still all insist the money they gave to Discovery does not go to
fun discoveries intelligent design work, Alberto Canalis,
spokesman for the Verizon Foundation says the five year
$74,000 grant that foundation made the discovery in 2001 was
earmarked for a lecture series goes on the David and Lucile
Packard Foundation gave $200,000 of discoveries, Cascadia centre,
and he goes in we're talking about the hundreds and hundreds
of 1000s of dollars and we get like about $1,000 a week. So
that's one other reason why
there's got to be within an audience is big and it's
growing. There's got you this is impossible to be a patron. There
has to be someone who was saying, You know what, I'm just
gonna set these guys up and let them go for a year, you know,
and really help them and we can stretch $1 You know, we can this
is I have decided I decided many months ago, this is my life's
work. I really want to continue it. I don't want to live in
Obama Ville. I don't know if he's, you see that.
I got a bunch of trouble with that Obama. By the way. I want
to remind people to go to divorce.org/in A or no agenda
show.com and click on one of the donation buttons and help us out
it does highly appreciate it. And don't forget, try to become
an executive producer. It'll pay off in the end. Yeah, it will.
Everything you give us will pay off. You'll get it back in good
vibes and
that's that's the dude. That's the law of the universe. If you
do good, then good comes back to you. Absolutely. Just to just
not to pat myself on the back or anything. Oh, why not? But, you
know, people have scoffed and guffawed at me in particular.
But I think we both sign on to the, to the theory that a lot of
what is happening in Afghanistan, besides the general
theory that it is for the Unocal Unocal pipeline, there's a lot
of big Gitmo nation initiatives that may get very important,
we're pretty sure that the troop surge was sent just in the nick
of time to help with the poppy harvest, seeing as of course,
output production of the raw materials for heroin from
Afghanistan is up 120%? Or is it 120% production level, I'm not
sure which one it is. And I have said many times that because the
only type of organisation in the world or in America, that is
allowed to send more than $10,000, internationally, are
publicly listed companies. And I've been saying for a long time
ever since we started the show that the drug money is slushed
through to Wall Street. Because you know, if I want to send
$10,000 or $10,001 overseas, than have to go through all
these hoops, I have to report it, you know, there's all kinds
of systems that kick in, particularly for sending it to
the Netherlands, then, you know, then it goes through swift and
the US can look at it and you get taxed on it. And there's all
kinds of huge, huge systems in place. But if you're a publicly
listed company, a Wall Street company, and let's face it, what
are the big ones doing all the business, it's the banks,
they're all listed publicly, you can buy shares in the banks, the
United Nations, the US, so those of you who believe that there's
global warming, that means you believe in the United Nations.
So that means you would have to believe this report that the UN
Office on Drugs and Crime came out with saying they have
evidence that the proceeds of organised crime in particular
drug money, were the only liquid investment capital available to
some banks on the brink of collapse. And a majority of the
$352 billion of drug profits were absorbed into the economic
system as a result.
Indeed.
So there you have it. Now
we have a link to that article.
Today, I have a link to the the article in The Guardian that
reported on it hidden Of course, and there's also the link to the
actual report which is worth reading, by the way we read this
stuff. People look at even the Bloomberg guy that I was having
dinner with now he's talking about the Lisbon Treaty and I
really went overboard with him. And I said, you know, I read
that you did what? So yeah, dude, you No, it's not that
hard, except you have to find all the protocols and the sub
texts and everything because it's all kind of pulled apart.
But yeah, you know, it's just people writing it. You know,
it's just lawyers. You know, I'm not impressed. You know, lawyers
are just paid to speak a different language. We've got
Google, you know, I've got a dictionary, I can look up words,
I'm always inquisitive about a word means what the intent is,
you know, it's not that hard. You can do this. Oh, wow,
really? And we did and so I did that. And this links, you can
download the, the house appropriation bills, the four
ones that were when they were debating, you know, it's right
there, you can download it, it's okay, you know, go scroll right
down to the end. That's where the pork is all included.
Interesting, by the way, how they've put in recipients of the
cash. So the appropriations bill actually list who the money's
going to, so it's not even up for you know, like a tender,
like a you know, like any for profit company can bid on the
boom, no, it's already in there.
Boom, boom, yeah.
Crazy. Alright, so
let's shift gears a little bit.
Yeah, I mean, do you want to stop on the climate gate because
there were a couple of very important piece of news that
came out one and claimed what well Al Gore. He, he did a
little closed conference, but it was for journalists in
Copenhagen as he flew is G five up there. And he claimed Oh, I
can't believe you missed this, John. He claimed
about that. About the ice cap.
He says these figures are fresh. He said in his speech like he
lies about a lot of the stuff some of the models suggest there
was a 75% chance of the entire north polar let me finish not
everyone has a blog. Some of them might do some of the models
there's a 75% chance the entire north polar ice cap during the
summer months could be completely ice free within five
to seven years. Unfortunately, the scientists that Gore quoted
the research from Dr. wheeze love malachowsky. And I love the
way this is written in. See what publications this TG daily
rather pissed on his chips by stating it's unclear to me how
this figure was arrived at I would never try to estimate
likelihood anything as exact as that. And Al Gore spokesman
backpedalled furiously saying the figure quoted was merely a
ballpark figure that was mentioned at a conversation
going along you probably had some images of like the Polaroid
Yeah, there he is. Alright, captors.
There's a distinctive cycled up. Oh, what else could it be? But
global warming? Well, maybe the sun. But there's there's been a
long term cycle of the global northern Arctic ice cap
specifically, of it melting completely. I mean, it's been
trend it's been navigated by the Chinese. I think it was 1000
years ago. There's documentation for that. And it comes and goes
I mean, it's it's better by most people's standards that it that
it goes rather than creates a an ice age the other way. And when
the Vikings came across, there was no ice up there. I mean,
there was very little on there's England was named Greenland
because it was a great place
to plant Lake and there's this Viking villages they've
discovered 70 feet under the ice. Yeah. Yeah. Like, okay.
Meanwhile, one of the main climate change opponents live on
Danish television. Got a heart attack.
Yeah, that was a weird one. We have that blog, too. Yeah, some
guy he was he was a complainer he was a denialist. And he's
going on about something. Somebody came over in touch. We
had a heart attack.
It was it was a frightening and you know what? A heart attack. I
thought normally you'd like people grab their arm or
something. It looked like it was weird, man. It looks like he got
an electric shock. That's exactly what it looked like. It
was like they'd switch the chip on you know, was like, hey, over
on screen 3042 Hey, something's going on. Zap. zap them now. zap
him. Okay. It was pretty true. We
got him. were safe. They got him off the stage.
They drug him and you haven't heard anything? You haven't
heard any follow up to that you didn't even see that on
mainstream television. No, Lord, Lord Monckton, who kind of
started off the public debate by going out and making speeches.
He went and interviewed some of the Greenpeace. Here's your left
right paradigm right here. So the Greenpeace protesters. Have
you seen that clip, John? No. Oh, let's listen to a bit of it.
He's interviewing Greenpeace protests. But it's
very common to come here and join our conference today. Why
you have come?
I think I've already heard So that question I've just come
because I'm a member of Greenpeace. We've heard that
this conference is about people who negates climate change.
Right? Now there has been climate change hazards there for
4 billion years.
But you tell me, I'm young.
So the point of this video will play a couple more interviews,
is all these people who are with Greenpeace protesting or sent by
Greenpeace don't actually know what's going on? They have no
information. They don't actually know the facts.
That's a good. That's a very good. Can I ask you, then, if
there's been Chuck, climate change for 4 billion years, why
are you against it now?
Because well, over the last, let's say, over the last 80
years, climate change has been really, really accelerating. And
we have a big problem. And we need to act very, very easily.
Right. Now, the UN, in its calculations shows that in over
the last 20 years, we could not have had any effect on the
climate. It's a very recent effect that we might have. Given
that there has been warming for 300 years, but only 280 years,
we could not have made any difference. I have seen in the
last 20 years, we have suddenly done something that really
changes the climate.
Well, if you look at places, if you look at the polar oppose,
and if you look at weather changes.
Are you saying that there has been any unusual melting of ice
at the poles? But how do you know that?
Because I'm reading reports, hearing people talk,
and I'll Gorsedd so reading the press.
Have you ever checked any of the data from the scientific
institutions or in the learned literature directly? Well, I
have checked the reports from for instance, reports from
Greenpeace because they they
Greenpeace is a campaigning organisation, isn't it?
What do you mean like campaigning for weather bureaus?
So my question then is Why do you believe reports whether from
Greenpeace or anybody else, without having actually checked?
I mean, I seen it because I'm from Norway, actually, I'm from
Norway. And I've seen glaciers 20 years ago, and they were much
bigger than they are now. And I see that's fauna and flora is
changing Norway because of
this has been happening for 4 billion years and we agreed
before you will get changes sometimes room
locked in. So you know, watch that entire clip Monckton is
great, man. He's out on the street doing this. He just yeah,
he's a character. Oh, my goodness, you shuffle. But for
this guy. I mean, that's just fantastic. Not not a lot of
people who don't have to worry about shit in life, who are kind
of set would do this stuff. It just wouldn't.
Yeah, he's a he's he's good. I mean, everything I've heard from
him has been very, very interesting.
And, you know, lots of other little reports here and there
that that you can read. Of course, it was funny to see
that. The Prince Charles and Gordon Brown both went to
Copenhagen, but they flew in their separate jets. They
couldn't go they could have made a little statement there. He was
like, hey, who was running the PR for this? Come on, guys. This
isn't isn't a slam dunk.
Think turns out that they would, because nobody cares. And
everyone just believes whatever the PR people tell them to begin
with, that they can get away with this. I mean, it did. It
was only the reason that they stopped flying their jets, the
General Motors flew, you know, flew a jet into Washington, DC
to do testimony. And then somebody picked it up and made a
big stink about it. And then, because they hate General
Motors, and they hate capitalism, they hate big
business. So they made a big stink about so the guys had to
drive in on a bus the next time, but nobody is going to make a
stink about these guys, because everybody's already signed up
for the global warming is going to kill us all. And you know, we
should do have one world government and all this sort.
Nobody's gonna say anything, because it might detract.
The CIA has come out the CIA has a centre for the study of
climate change deeply embedded within the Pentagon, or wherever
they are embedded. And we did talk about this briefly that
yes, climate change is indeed a it's a real concern to our
national security. And here's a quote from from one of the air
marshals, well initially, the main problem we see is people
will be fighting for food and shelter. When the migration
starts, remember, John, the big migration of 2010 Do you
remember those days, every state would want to stop the
migrations from happening. Eventually it would have to
become an military conflict. Which other measures do you have
to resolve your border issues? So there you go. We're all going
to be starving and burning up and we will have no food and
we're all going to be killing each other for food. That's the
meme that is being spread.
And well, it's a good one. Today, we can close this gate to
the gate to the gate to the cloud with
the problem, of course, is that the pendulum is swinging in the
other direction. So let's talk about some interesting here. Let
me just read this. This is from June. I found this when I was
doing some research, June in the nation, which is an extremely
progressive magazine. Writing on the Atlantic's website, Scott
bland and Ronald Brownstein identified the emergence of what
they dubbed the democratic industrial complex. Yeah, like
that one, energy and healthcare companies, automakers and banks
all understand that the Democrats control much of their
fate. So they've cast a lot with the majority party in a big way.
John Kerry got less than 20% of the donations from electric
utilities. brocco, when he ran for president, Barack Obama,
Obama got almost 60%. So far in the cycle, Democrats have
captured two thirds of the donations from the health care
industry. So let's play the clip with Howard Dean. As promised,
we
are joined now by Governor Howard Dean, former chairman of
the Democratic National Committee on a 2004 candidate
for the Democratic presidential nomination. Thank you for your
time tonight, Governor, thanks for having me on. Governor Dean,
you have been on this cause of health care reform for decades,
there has been no more energetic cheerleader for this legislative
crusade this time around, then you you have reached the point
now, where the Senate Bill, which is well on its way to
becoming the Lieberman bill is something you can no longer
support and you want to kill it. Tell us why? Well, I don't I'm
not gonna give up on health care reform, I'm still hopeful that
something will happen in the house, but it's not very likely
because the conference committee can be vetoed by Joe and the
other pro insurance company, just Democrats, when it comes
back as well. So real reform in the house is a lot less likely
given what's happened in the Senate. This is not real reform.
It's not healthcare reform, there no choices. Once the
decision has been made without really thinking about it. It's
been made because people are exhausted, they want to pass the
bill so desperately, they're not thinking about what they're
doing here. It's been made to commit the United States to
health care reform through the private sector. I don't think
that's the decision should be made lightly in the previous
bills, the Medicare buy in the public option had the choice of
a mixture, so giving Americans the opportunity to make their
own choices. Those choices have been taken away by the pro
insurance folks in the in the Senate. I think that's a
mistake, or there's some good things in this bill. Yes. This
is this is basically the Mitt Romney bill in Massachusetts,
except it doesn't ensures high percentage of people. The
exchanges work well. Although there's no cost control of any,
any substance, you're going to be forced to buy health
insurance from a company that's going to take on average 27% of
your money so they can pay CEOs $20 million a year and so they
can return to have return on equity and their shareholders
and there's no choice about that if you don't buy that insurance
you're gonna get you're gonna get a fine. So this is this is
this is a bill that was fundamentally written by
staffers who were friendly to the insurance industry held up
so that it was friendly to the insurance industry by Senators
who take a lot of money from the insurance industry, and it is
not healthcare reform. And I think it's too bad to come to
this Okay, so
he's turned on it. Interesting. The thing is, then a tough few
others are trying to get the courage up although like does it
nation article said the healthcare industry meaning
mostly a couple of insurance companies that dominate
healthcare insurance, and HMOs have been given all the money
the Democrats are the Democrats basically are talking out of
both sides of their mouth, and they're not going to do this
bill is going to be all this bill is going to do. Which is
which makes it even more amusing is that if you don't have
healthcare insurance, which you've been complaining about,
now, you're going to be forced to buy it. And it is running
about you know, 20 to 30% of somebody's annual income.
Yeah, and you'll be forced to buy it under threat of penalties
and jail. actual jail.
So really great job on by Obama and the boys. Yeah,
good one. There's what this one thing I should have mentioned
this, when we're talking about donations, John, because, you
know, we often harp on public broadcasting and an NPR about
them taking money from large corporations such as so the
Associated Press reported on Monsanto as confidential
contracts deal These are the seed people by the way they make
genetically modified seeds. In case you didn't know Google on
this plenty of juice Google juice about Monsanto.
Confidential contracts detailing Monsanto company's business
practices reveal how the world's biggest seed developer is
squeezing competitors, controlling smaller seed
companies and protecting its dominance over the multibillion
dollar market for genetically altered crops. One follow on
article that is that I'm not going to read. But there is an
admission Now, bear has admitted that GMO contamination is out of
control. They've admitted it, they've been unable to control
the spread of its genetically engineered organisms, despite
best practices to stop contamination. That's what's
been shown in all outdoor field trials. And so I thought, you
know, what, why don't I just go to the NPR website and see if
any of their programming talks about this Monsanto story?
What did you find out? Um, well,
gee, John, you know, there they are. On their website, they do
have a link to the AP story. But in all their programming, which
let's face it, that's what NPR is about is their programming.
All I can find in the Morning Edition is Monsanto, Tobias seed
producer in deal worth 1.4 billion. Monsanto, nixes, new
biotech weeds Monsanto Sue's dairy over milk ads.
Oh, they should they should another dairy over milk ads.
Yeah.
Let's go to PBS for a second. Let's see if PBS is reporting on
Monsanto, a little search on their site. Let me see. Well,
there's plenty of search results to talk about Monsanto
underwriting the programmes. But no, there's nothing about this.
John, it's it's it's phenomenal. The on the News Hour, which is
heavily sponsored by Monsanto is not reporting on this at all.
That's weird, because it's our national treasure. Yeah. And you
know, and they are after all sponsored by. So you think that
has the inside track, they can just call up HQ and say, Hey,
guys, why don't you just give a little comment on this Monsanto
story? No, they're not doing it, because they're taking money
from Monsanto. So they're not going to blow blow one of their
big little they are blowing, but they're not going to blow up
what are their biggest resources, one of their biggest
sources of money, which is why we don't take advertisements,
which is the only way this will work. So I just wanted to say
that was kind of interesting. All the search results and the
stories are in the show notes, of course, at the unadvertised,
double no agenda show.com.
Yes, indeed, in fact, it's, it's commendable. So there's a story
breaking. We're going to probably talk about it on the
next show two more in more detail. But now the research is
coming in that high fructose corn syrup is indeed hazardous
to your health. Yeah, don't say it screws up your liver and it
makes you fat. And it causes all kinds of issues with all kinds
of parts of your body and
I wonder John, who makes high fructose corn syrup?
I think it's Archer Daniels.
It will be Archer Daniels Midland company.
Yeah, don't take big time have sponsors of NPR and PBS?
I think they are maybe we should look at let me do Shall I do a
little search and see if there's any story on high fructose corn
syrup on PBS as an example you
won't find anything there.
Oh, come on. Let me look
you might find some stuff from the public relations department
that has the same kind of you know the basically the mean that
they've tried to put out there as is all it is is just you
know, sucrose and glucose hooked together in such a way that it's
very natural. I'm looking at a refinery out
of corn King corn how sweet it is the rise? Can corn learn
more? What is more dense yeast part two? No, John, this this
doesn't seem to be anything about high fructose corn syrup
being dangerous to your health on all of the PBS programming.
You know, it's a giveaway to the whole thing falling apart on you
with this terrible substance which is really pretty much only
use the United States where we've you can almost track the
obesity levels when it was first introduced to what it is today
itself is
a huge source of it, by the way, catch up.
Yeah, you have to buy them. You can buy Heinz at the Costco at
some cost because you can buy Heinz organic ketchup, which has
no high fructose corn syrup in it. Unlike all the other
ketchup.
It tastes like crap.
I do want to add that. No, it does. Exactly the same. Really?
I'll
have to try it I think it tastes like crap which is
exactly the same there's no difference in flavour it's
actually taste better.
I've always I've always thought that they make they put crap
taste in the organic stuff.
No, no, no, in this case is here's that. Here's the kicker
you're not letting me get to the punch line. I've run into this a
lot. I've run into this with cereals that don't have a
million additives in it. And I run into with this This
particular product does Heinz organic ketchup. It comes from
Canada. So of course,
this is what we should move on right?
Can we do it here but no, no comes in. So they have to bring
it in from Canada, because nobody around here wants to deal
with the fact that I don't know why should we bother? We need to
move with the kicker. The whole thing is Pepsi Cola just
announced that they're dropping all HF ces from all their sodas
next year and a fan of it, because it's bad for you. Yet
bad for you. But it will do some people should start looking up
some articles. Now you can find it either still obscure, but
these research reports are starting to come out. They're
gonna they're trying to be squashed as fast as they can.
But go to your typing high fructose corn syrup, hit the
button, and then click on news and try to get the newer stories
and you'll find a lot of this stuff.
So in our ever never ending quest to avoid to to the head
ourselves. John be ready for you're out there sounds, of
course after the nuclear cruise missile attack on on Denver,
which I reported on. Seems like they had a little a little drill
the other day, which was announced this was you know, in
case some kind of a missile would be sent into the United
States and there was an actual cruise missile explosion. This
time over in Nebraska. In fact, this happened 9pm Local
yesterday. It even the explosion even registered a 3.5 magnitude
on the on the earthquake measurement systems.
And a link to this article. Yes, I
do. And the cruise missile was shot was fired. It came over.
What is the cruise missile doing flying over Nebraska?
It's on its way to Denver. This is the whole this is the whole
space wars that we're not aware of the CIA Obama Cabal. And they
blew it out of the out of the sky John with a Particle Beam
weapon. So the aliens did you're saying I don't know the the
armed forces? Because I thought we were
firing it at Denver, which has now been taken over by aliens.
I'm gonna get the story straight.
I think you're not. But there's there's two there's multiple
fractions in the armed forces. You know, it's not all like
everyone's on the same programme there. I guess the point of what
I'm saying is there is absolutely a space war taking
place. I now kind of have to believe that the beautiful
circles we saw over over Norway, were probably part of a, like a
conjugate wave device. So these are all these are all weapons
that have been militarised and are and are being used right
now. There is some shit going on that is far beyond what you and
I can even comprehend because we've not ever been exposed to
it. But it's taking place. It's happening. It's out there. It's
up there. And also the tapes were released. I'm not going to
play him for you. But the tapes of the Northwest Airlines flight
188 Oh, the sleeping pilots. Wow. When I listened to the
actual air traffic control tapes, these guys were not
asleep. They were freaked out by something. And they're not
talking about it. I will put a link in the show notes to it.
You just you could and I I've listened to pilots on the
headsets. You know, I know how pilots talking to like, yeah, we
got distracted by something here. I mean, do you listen to
me like you're blown away by by what's going on? And and it's
not like there wasn't calls going out to them continuously.
They actually had other aircraft calling out to them trying to
reach them. You know, so why No, no F sixteens were scrambled is
still a huge gaping hole in the story. And it's and I think that
they saw something up there they weren't supposed to
that's always a possibility. From my my news item that I'm
going to throw out, which is probably not quite as profound
is that one
way it'll be mine. I'll save our life. Okay,
so police say to dogs fed on Nebraska owner's body
young to pugs. Apparently some owners some guy killed himself
shot himself and he left the pugs to their own devices. And
the pugs ate him over a two week period. Nice. Now a more
interesting story. There's another one this is on the blog,
which is Iraqi insurgents apparently have been hacking US
drones Elysium and getting the video feeds. So these show turns
out to the you know these predators, they fly over parts
of Pakistan or rack wherever and their drones these are the drone
aircraft drones the unmanned and flights they have a camera and
apparently they managed to hack the video screen stream using
some Microsoft product. Oh no. And so they've been putting the
screws if they found out about this because they got some they
busted some guy took his laptop and they found all these
recordings of the drone flight patterns. And it turns out that
when they designed these things, they never bothered to encrypt
the video stream. Are you kidding
me? Like hacked into the video stream coming from the drone?
Yeah, and when is when they hack into the actual drone itself and
Bahamas with it? I'm not sure but yeah, so so now they can say
oh, they're skimming over a doulas house get back inside
just in case they see you. Oh my god.
That's outrageous. Yeah, totally.
And apparently, they this whatever the software is that
runs on these things. It's it's going to be difficult to do
installing Crusher, which I find it's hard to
Windows Media running on NetSuite
that comes out half the time you get like kind of a funny display
with some animations on it.
So in the last few episodes I reviewed for you national
suicide which I don't believe you read yet John but I highly
recommend it written by Martin l gross. Read a brand new
Yes, indeed. New Book, which is not available on Amazon,
unfortunately, but which I, I am going to grab a hold on is of
this called crisis by design, the untold story of the global
financial coup and what you can do about it,
what you can do about it? Yeah, do anything about it,
I think put your head between your knees and Kiss your ass
goodbye. That would be it. So I'm looking forward to receiving
that book. And this was suggested by one of our
producers, which is 450,000 strong and growing by now. Keep
the numbers coming and keep the donations coming. No no agenda
show.com and dvorak.org/blog Na, I'm sorry, slash n a. And what
do you say my friend? I think?
I think we're done. Well, I
mean, in the show,
I got one I got one thing to do one correction. Sure. On the
last show, the CASPER milquetoast character was a
comic strip character grey by HT Webster in 1924. For his cartoon
series, the Timid Soul published in the New York World. When the
world folded in 1931, the Timid Soul moved to the New York
Herald Tribune, where a Sunday page was eventually added, and I
guess he was just referred to by Sinclair or by Sinclair Lewis.
And anyway, it went on till 1952
Another $5 word, you can use a cocktail parties to amaze your
friends associates and pick up chicks.
Yes, because of the popularity of Webster's character. The term
milquetoast mi l qu. E to ASD came into general usage in
American English to mean weak and ineffectual and effeminate.
