Yeah, city bank should there should be a run on the bank as
we speak. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak on February 21 2010. Time again for your
GIBBO nation media assassination episode 176.
This is no agenda reading the law so
you don't have to and coming to you live from the hilltop,
Watchtower and crackpot command center and Gizmo nation West Los
Angeles, in the Republic of California. Yay. In the morning,
I'm Adam curry
and wondering where the rain is, which is supposed to hit last
Friday and nothing came of it. I'm here in Northern Silicon
Valley. I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Levin Buzzkill.
Yeah, we got the rain.
We got rain over here, man. Yeah, it's apparently raining in
Arizona, too. Yeah. In the morning to
you, my friend in the morning. Lest there be any type of
confusion. We actually love each other. People sometimes are
confused. They think that you know, we're like an old married
couple.
It's a mare. It's man love. Man Crush.
I had dinner last night with a good friend of ours, Rodrigo de
Zhu. And Rodrigo, outa Zhu is a jewelry designer. He's pretty
hot right now. He's a Argentinian. But he he started
in Amsterdam. And we had dinner at Gordon Ramsay's London
restaurant in the London hotel.
Oh, I II. I thought he shut that down.
Maybe you shut the New York one down. Because he had one in New
York. I know that. But it was started
with the La 108. But what about it? Good? No, of course. It's
good. The guy knows what he's doing. Yeah,
I'm sure he's not there, though.
I'm sure he's not there. And I'm sure it was too expensive.
That was the second thing I was gonna say way too expensive.
just outrageous.
I think the days of these expensive meals are over. Jeff
people wanted us to talk again, more than a few letters from
people saying, Hey,
how can you talk about wine? And I'll tell you I agree with you,
John, because it was no problem getting a reservation on a
Saturday night. Originally it was going to be just the two of
us. And then we added then what's going to be four and then
it went back to three and Mickey called back like four times
changing the time changing the number of people was not a
problem. And the restaurant was not
full. Too expensive.
Yeah, it really is. And
well, we went to a place here, which I didn't think was that
great. But it was it was interesting and and cheap. It
was a it was a relatively it was a in San Francisco called choo
choo.
Oh, that's the the the bistro we went to together. Yeah,
that, you know, is it even that? You know, I don't know, I'm
having mixed feelings about some of the trends going on the night
before I was taken to dinner by the people at NetSuite of the
CEO there's a good friend of mine who likes to go out once in
a while with some some of his staff and I got invited. And so
we went to the just awarded two stars. Michelin place called qua
COI. It's pronounced Quoi, San Francisco. And it's like 11
courses of like a tablespoon of this and a tablespoon of that.
Who wants that? Just give me a burger. Yeah.
It's like it's interesting, like five or six or seven or eight
years ago or 10 years, sort of thing. Because, you know, people
were starting to get into cooking. They're looking for new
ideas. And but it's it's so tired that I really wonder
about, you know, even the molecular gastronomy that's
going on here. And there were there.
wasn't hanging out with Dave Matthews came over Friday night.
Dave Matthews Band, no, Dave, the inventor, Dave, the
inventor. And he was talking about this molecular stuff where
they you know, they take like a certain type of food, but
they'll change the way it looks, the texture, the taste, or you
think it's something else and they may even change the smell.
And then you eat it and it completely messes with your
head.
Yeah, yeah. Well, this was all protected by the guy out in
Spain in the Costa Brava a place called El Bulli. And it's been,
he has a number of protegees around the world at at one of
his places in in Sao Paulo called DOM DLM, which was
actually quite, he was it was good. I mean, the thing is, the
guy in Brazil was at least serving you know, he was he
wasn't it wasn't like a teaspoon of this and a tablespoon of that
was like entire meals that were done this way where you think
you're eating one thing was actually another, this the meat,
the sausage, you normally find the meat sauces, and the rich
brown sauce is actually chocolate, you know, kind of
thing. So that's,
that's weird, where you think you're going to sink your teeth
into one thing and it turns out to be another.
Yeah, but you know, again, I mean, this is interesting, but
is it really,
dude, we're going back to home, go home grown vegetables,
because that's all that's going to be available if you want
something that's not genetically modified.
Yeah, that and then there's a now there's some word out that
you know, as part to me the aspartame, aspartame. The stuff
done by your buddy Rumsfeld is is a, potentially the cause of a
lot of this is early onset
Parkinson's and obesity and heart disease and all kinds of
bad stuff.
So anyway what so this little kind of stuff we'll be talking
about today ladies and gentlemen, if you're
Wait, click, I just heard everyone tune out who's our

Yeah, exactly. He's in Voorburg
I'm afraid to ask where's the forbidden forbidden for Berg
which is right before the Hague I believe it's a
I guess after all this mispronunciation of these crazy
Dutch names eventually start to pick up the patterns I'm looking
for. Yeah, but
but basically the Dutch are now donating just to hear you
mispronounce their name. This seems to be the case. Yes.
Nothing to do with the show. Like we love hookers and blow
and all that just mispronounced My name because it's funny the
way you say it.
Yeah, I know. I love to be the butt of humor. Hi, John. And
Adam says the Dutch government fell today there's a slight
reason for optimism and get mo nation East actually you
know lands loneliness. Yeah, we do have to talk about that as a
topic.
Easy on the no agendas church routine lately. Both reason
enough to celebrate the small we're trying to avoid that to a
small trite stride toward knighthood. He's in the chat
room as fair. Now. You may have a go at pronouncing my name.
It's always a blast to hear you break your tongue over awkward
names. Thanks, hair fair.
Okay. Okay. And our third executive

Associate Executive Producers are a couple of regulars. Ian
Monroe, Hey, you did it live original Louisiana and, and our

So Seamus says that he will laugh about the Fallen cabinet.
Yeah.
So first of all, let me thank our executive producers CB from
Tokyo hair beard and Sean Conley Connolly. That's it right.
Connelly? Yeah. Yeah. Ian Monroe and Ilan, Seamus, Ilan, Seamus,
Seamus, who are en and Ilan are. So Associate Executive
producers. Please do put this on your resume not only does it
help you get jobs, it looks good. And it actually makes us
us look good too. If you if people start listing this then
starts popping up you know people be like, I another one of
those resumes where there's no agenda thing on it. You know
what, what is going on with that? It's good. It's all round.
Good. Absolutely. And and it's highly appreciated. And you
really do make this show run, you really do make it work. Your
donation is doing exactly what an executive producer does. They
print the money. So the show can be produced. And you never get
any residuals. So it's perfect. It's exactly the way it's
supposed to. It's like Hollywood. It's the real deal.
So I guess maybe we should start with Gitmo nation lowlands
because I was rather excited after I did this humongous rant
on the previous show about the Netherlands about the Dutch in
particular, how suppressed they are. The night of so was Friday
night, and they had this real long meeting in the Cabinet
meeting in Holland, the government fell. And you might
be wondering, what exactly does that mean?
Yes. What does that mean? Well, the way it works, that's running
around in the streets and everyone's anarchy
trip. No, not yet, though. So first of all, what happened is,
you know, the way the Dutch government works, you have a
number of parties, and you have to have majority of seats in the
government. So typically, whoever has the most seats
during the election gets to form the coalition. And then they
have to find a couple other parties they can work with. And
then you know, there's weeks sometimes of discussion, a can
we work together. And by the way, a lot of them are religious
groups. So not only we do have a Labour Party, we have a
socialist party, but we have the Christian Democrats, we have the
right wing Christians, we have a whole bunch of different
they're called the right wing Christians, almost
now the called the Christian Union union. There's a green
party. I mean, it's just a lot of different.
Yeah, they usually show this, like when there's I was reading
about the show a pie chart. And there's all these different
parties, and they all have the representation.
So it was very interesting. In order to have a majority
coalition, the Labour Party was with the Christian Democrats.
And they brought in the Christian Union, which is kind
of these really right wing guys who have a very small following,
but that gave them just enough seats in the government to have
the majority. And sometimes the party that actually wins will
wind up it as an opposition, because they can't form the
coalition. It's really crazy. And of course, the guy you think
you're voting for a guy or a woman, but they never wind up
running the show, so it's typical Gitmo fashion. Anyway,
in 2007, when they formed this bulking into cabinet, which was
the fourth time the this under the Christian Democrats as the
cabinet has fallen four times already. And remember the first
time they came in was after Pim Fortuyn was assassinated. So
this has always been a very sketchy group of people, in my
opinion. They the the coalition had agreed in the previous
elections in 2007, that in 2010, they would withdrawal from
Afghanistan the Dutch, as we've discussed on this program are
stationed in orders gun in Afghanistan, protecting the
poppies over there. Actually there's, there's sometimes it
gets pretty nasty in the in that region. And so, you know, the
time is up, right, it's time to pull out. And of course, this is
a NATO mission. And the way it were the way this whole
Afghanistan stand thing has been spawned, is hey, you know, they
attacked America. So all NATO, people have to help us and you
got to go in and you all got to be a part of the program. And
the the CDA, the Christian Democrats were like, well, you
know, we shouldn't really pull out and maybe we should have
another meeting, we should have another steering committee, and
this has been going on for a number of weeks now. And
finally, the Labour Party, who was the, you know, the second
largest part of the coalition said, That's it, screw you,
we're out. And so then they basically pull out they no
longer have a majority. And that's how the cabinet falls.
And that means within 83 days, there has to be new elections,
why 83
That's the law somehow, I don't know if the magic number, they
could have done 84. But three was more magical. So by May,
there has to be new elections. Now, here's what's interesting.
Of course, I said that this, you know, this, particularly this
government has brought in so many rules and regulations and
all kinds of crap that the Dutch people were so suppressed, and,
you know, really were frustrated, and all of their
frustrations were coming out in comments on the internet. And
everyone's just really pissed off as a huge integration issue
with a Muslim population. And we have this guy here, the
builders, who is whose party is the PVV, which is the party of
freedom, something. And this is the guy who did the video, the
fitna video against, basically, against Islam. And because of
this video member, he was not allowed into the United Kingdom
because he was discriminating. And so right. There's an old
story. Yeah, this is this, this went on over a year ago. And the
video actually wasn't, the video wasn't all that good. I mean,
Alex Jones does stuff 10 times better than what he did.
And his stuff is really bad.
So, so it's like, alright, this is what all the brouhaha was
about. You know, it was like, it wasn't all that big a deal.
However, they did a straw poll, and his party would win by a
landslide, if elections were held to day. Like, I'd like huge
amount, like 30 seats, which would be, you know,
gotta put the election off.
Well, this is exactly what happened with Pim for time,
there's two things that can happen. One, he's an obvious
candidate for two to the head. By the way, if you if you don't
know who this guy is, you've probably seen him on the news he
has is really crazy blonde, really luminous and blonde hair.
But a lot of people like him because he's basically carrying
the same message that Pim Fortuyn was carrying, which was,
you know, Hey, enough with the Muslim integration, you know,
they need to speak Dutch or get out, you know, basic I'm
paraphrasing to a large extent. And there's a lot of people who
are very tired of what's going on. And of course, the Muslim
population population isn't the easy target to blame for
everything. And it's very typical. Yeah, of course. But I
have to say the the integration of the multicultural society, it
has not gone well. But there's something that's very
interesting this happening is this guy is being prosecuted by
the Dutch Justice Department for discriminating the entire nation
of Islam with this video. So it's possible he could hate
crime. Yes, exactly. It's possible he could get thrown in
jail, or his maybe his right to stand as an elected official
could be taken away. That doesn't mean the party goes
away. But it's going to be really crazy right now. It's
going to be very interesting. But what I did Saturday morning,
when I woke up, and this had already happened, as I started
reading all of these comments, and people were like, rejoicing
and saying, Oh, yes, it's a national holiday. And this year
with this, they will go down in history. We're so happy the
stupid government is gone. And it's just wow, you know, so now
it'd be interesting to see if the Dutch can really pull ahead
and come up with some creative ideas for changing their
destiny.
I'm guessing no.
Yeah. I have to tell you, I'm I'm pretty worried myself,
because it's probably impossible for the PVV feared builders
party to have such an overwhelming majority that they
don't have to form a coalition. So who wants to work with them
is the next question. Of course, these guys are deemed as racist
and you know, but you know, I know lots of people, and they
are all like, this guy's our guy and he's going to change stuff.
He's going to make it happen for us. He's representing how we
really feel and I know that there is a huge undercurrent in
Holland and donation lowlands of people who really want to stop
the immigration which by the way, it's too late, because that
is now all being arranged by Brussels. You see, it doesn't
really matter that the government fell now because it
doesn't matter. It said the Lisbon Treaty came in. That was
the whole point of this government was to shepherd the
Lisbon Treaty, get that in, and you watch all these guys are
gonna go off to wonderful little spots in Brussels, or maybe high
ranking officials at Goldman Sachs, you know, they're all
going to get their little little payoffs for doing their job. And
the only the only way to get them, they have to have some
kind of revolution, which will not be a color other than red,
as in blood to really change something.
Yeah. I think the likelihood of that is 02 This is all leading
to a civil war more than anything else.
It is especially if Turkey enters the European Union.
You're gonna have trouble turkeys gonna have trouble
getting in? Well, they're certainly trying. Yeah, they got
a they have a catch 22 Unfortunately, built into their
system, which is the fact that they have all these these harsh
rules against anyone who is fundamentalist Sharia law. Well,
no, they have a harsh rule by people even advocating that
you'd be joined in jail for all kinds of of for any sort of
religious promotion. So the is Lammas have canceled even talk
about it. But since they had to, they've recently had some
elections, where an Islamist essentially has gotten into the
government and kind of fighting these rules. The possibility
exists that that could be overturned and Turkey could go
from being this incredibly liberal Islamic State, we're to
have one of the best party scenes I've ever seen in my
life. And
I mean, that is a symbol as a party town, baby.
And it's what they drink a lot. In fact, everyone goes I was
hanging out with saying, you know, we were the Muslims who
drink and that can be destroyed, rather, fundamentalist takeover.
Well, I think what will happen in the Netherlands is it'll
pretty much be like Belgium, which also has been just
basically out of control for the past past couple of years where
they just you know, they can't form coalition's stuff keeps
falling apart. But there's lots of opportunity. The main thing
though, the main thing is what will be great if they could
achieve one thing is a sweeping change throughout the justice
system, they have to kick all of those pedophiles out every
single one of them because those guys basically they stay, you
know, unless unless the new government comes in and says,
Okay, you're out, you're out, you're out. These guys are not
party affiliated. So that's what really has to happen because oh
my god, I mean, I've just been not you know, whenever something
like this happens, people start bringing up weird things that
are going on that the government has been in control of, and the
Justice Department in Gitmo nation lowlands is just so
corrupt and so blackmailed because of all this, you know,
all this weird SEC stuff that they're into. And I'm not afraid
to say it because I mean, you know, they've admitted it, they
admitted to just now it gets suppressed in the media but
they've admitted it in writing it's It's sickening so that's
what had that's really what has to change for anything to really
change in that country. But we'll see. I mean, I, I don't
know I think you need some kind of balance with a shared
builders. Not to balance him but to balance the people who who
are following Him and who want him to win. You need some just
it's good to have some balance, like you know, like crackpot and
Buzzkill. So what you know, it's easy to go overboard one way or
the other. And, you know, the interesting to see who they can
get in but without a doubt these the PVV will win the election. I
guarantee
you that well, we'll see when they ever have the election,
it's it I think it's the law it's the some form of
constitutional thing they have to they have to have it within
83 days. So it'll happen it will happen
so another thing that cropped up this week on our on our no
agenda agenda is the is this crazy article that you read it I
read is with floating around there was a bunch of discussions
about you know, the apparently the Israeli Mossad had decided
to go to Dubai and there was a team of them and again kill some
guy. Yeah. fake passports. They use fake passports from mostly
from Britain, which broke the British because they were you
know, something they somehow found out about it the and then
meanwhile, all the activity Have these guys was captured on the
hotel cams and they found you know all of them or they didn't
caught any of them of course and but they put it all on the
internet so that people could watch YouTube and see how an
assassination works. And then it went
here here's how it works do it's real simple.
So and then So, The Economist has his article which we do have
a link to in the show notes that discusses the the whole
situation in a in such a weird matter of fact way that it left
both both of us and I think Rohit his article slightly
stunned.
Yeah, because you know, what I mean, see, read the relevant
passage from this because it's, it's, you know, it this is now a
part of the way things work.
For example, the Israeli security visit from the article,
Israeli security services have never voiced any moral doubts
about targeted assassinations, blah, blah, blah. And then they
talk about some bungles in the past. I'm apparently all these
things have been overly documented. And they talk about
the United States being, you know, Reagan is the one who
passed a law saying no, none of these justices you because he
found out about it, and he said, No, we don't want this, we want
to be out of the assassination picture. And apparently,
on February 3, Dennis Blair, the Director of National
Intelligence, told Congress that American forces might sometimes
seek permission to kill a citizen of the United States, if
he was a terrorist, this fall to report that Barack Obama had
authorized an attack on Anwar al aulaqi aulaqi, a radical
American imam in Yemen. And this is the disturbing part is where
this is the Economist. And there's not like a little line
after it that says, the constitutional correctness of
this is in question or something to that ilk. I mean, if all of a
sudden and we know that the Patriot Act made it possible for
anyone to be deemed an enemy combatant of the state, which
what we're doing right now, John, the very fact that we are
talking about the government in negative light, could be deemed
we could be deemed as enemy combatants.
Yeah, luckily, we're low on the list. I don't
let's let's not grow the audience. This is a bad idea.
You know, we could be deemed terrorists and therefore we
could legally be killed. Without I mean, without any what is it
called? Oh, yeah, due process, which is not and I have been
doing some, some research into this as to how exactly this
permission is obtained and how it works. And I got something
here from ABC News. And this all kind of started with with the
waterboarding. It was that lawyer, John, you. I think his
name was yeah,
it's from the University of California of all places. Yeah.
So
this guy, this is a guy who basically is a lawyer. So he
reads the law,
Professor. Isn't he a lawyer as well? Ya know, he's a law
professor.
So he reads the law. And he interpreted by saying, Well, you
know, it seems like you can basically waterboard people and
it's okay. Because that's what the law is, you know, its
interpretation of language. And it goes even further. Actually,
further by going back, he did an interpretation when Bush was
president. And he said that basically, if the President
wants to he can approve taking out an entire village, he can
approve a massacre. And the Obama administration, basically
let these lawyers off the hook, even though we all said oh,
well, waterboarding, that's not cool. You know, but the guys who
said it was cool, they're okay. You know, they leave them in
that they can just hang around. That's not a problem. And it's,
it's frightening. And so here it is. When the President wants to
kill an American citizen, he has to ask permission of the
National Security Council. Who's running the place? So well,
that's a good question. The National Security Council
consists of the vice president, secretary of state than the
Secretary of the Treasury. So there you go. That's Biden,
Clinton, and Timmy, Timmy Geitner the Secretary of
Defense, the Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the
assistant to the president for economic policy isn't that
Christy Romer isn't at that school teacher, she sees On the
death panel, believable panel, this is the real death panel and
these people are going to
think we should kill everybody that scene in casino where
they're where they're starting to murder everybody, right?
I love the guy but we got to kill him.
And the guy didn't exist. Yeah, no, he's a good guy he's not
going to talk to you in a day goes around the table to the one
guy again. Who's the real the boss of the boss is asked why
take a chance? Yeah, we gotta
take him out. Great article in salon magazine or salon.com
referring back to the big snafu that Alexander Haig, who passed
away yesterday made when Ronald Reagan was shot in charge. He
said I'm in control here in the White House, but he probably
was, you know, but that was like that, that was basically his
downfall. But you know, you said it right. John, who the hell is
in charge right now in the White House. So here's something that
you know, I'm living in a lala land. And I wake up Friday
morning and it's all over the briefly because of course,
there's a lot of distraction going on, which we'll get to.
There were 21 marijuana dispensaries were were raised
rated.
In La Yeah. 20 wide make the news up here.
No, of course not. If it was all about the about the IRS,
kamikaze pilot and the Winter Olympics. But yeah, 21
dispensaries I mean, wait a minute. The President
specifically said lay off Leave him be back off and the DEA
they're not listening. They don't give a crap. They've got
their own they've got their own agenda. They're just like oh, it
was gonna roll in. They probably ran out of marijuana brownies
they needed to bake some more I don't know what's going on but
it's not it's not 21 dispensaries just rolled right
in. Not a problem.
Well, you know, this is going to just make this is a good thing.
Explain. It's going to charge up the electorate when the when the
marijuana initiative comes into play and burn this thing to a
head will pass this law and then see what happens. Yeah, you
think so? full legalization, then we'll see what we have to
federal government's gonna push around California. I think it's
going to encourage people to vote yes. Who may be on the
border on the border line or on the on the fence pole sitting
wherever you call it can sitting on the fence. So
it seems that that literally no one is in control right now. It
just is. You know, it seems like the CIA is doing whatever they
want. They they're knocking people off left and right. You
know, they're helping everybody out to kill people. We got
drones overhead zapping people in the middle of the night.
We've got the DEA running around, do whatever they want.
It's just crazy.
Yeah, well, if the Obama says they were gonna stop and they
didn't stop, there's something wrong. Yeah, by the way, there's
a bunch of stuff going on, in what I call a pot wars. And now
there was an article that just came out, actually, I think
about five or six days ago. First US clinical trials and
more than two decades on the medical benefits of marijuana
confirm that pot is effective in reducing muscle spasms
associated with multiple sclerosis pain caused by certain
neurological injuries or illnesses according to a report
on Michigan mon on wet last Wednesday.
Well, you know, one of our friends, mutual acquaintances
you know, I'm talking about from the office, you know, is
is sick, you know, as cancer and she's, she's smoking marijuana
and it's really helping her. I talked to her the other day, and
she's like, you know, thank god food for this.
That's a good thing. Yeah.
Because, you know, she got chemo and radiation and she's like,
Yeah, stuff makes you nauseous. Yeah. And, and she said, you
know, they, they give you all this, these pills, and it you
know, it just makes you even feel even worse, and I don't
take the pills against the nausea. I just, you know, smoke
a joint or make some tea out of it. And it's, it really makes
her really gets her through. Yeah,
I know. Well, I think this is going to be this is gonna come
to a head and they're going to, you know, crack down just
because there are a bunch of thugs on on something that's
that the state of California has decided is illegal for its
citizens. And then the federal government's gonna come in this
is this is not acceptable.
Now, there's one thing I wanted to little throwback to Episode
175. From last Thursday, John, I told you that the video from C
span had disappeared from its archives where Patrick F Kennedy
literally admits that someone in the a person in the intelligence
community had essentially let the crotch bomber through by not
allowing the State Department to revoke his visa. Believe it or
not, thank you to all our producers, at least seven
Alright, people sent me the video was actually available on
the, the State Department's own website, although it is
absolutely no longer available in the C span archive, which is
weird. It is, it is available from the State Department
itself. And I just wanted to let you hear exactly how they talk.
This gives you a little bit of an idea as to how out of control
this is and how, you know, this, just like people are overruling
one another. And there's all kinds of agendas that are being
used
before before you play it. This is a long me meeting.
Oh, it was it was like two and a half hours and
it and all throughout until you got to Kennedy, there was people
that nobody seemed to know this piece of information. And they
were all saying all kinds of including the poligono. Yeah,
oh, yeah.
Either doesn't know anything or just says nothing. But she
probably knows nothing about anything. I get that
feeling. She looked like a robot. She's looking up and left
there. I don't know what she's looking. She's looking into the
sky a lot. It's a very strange testimony.
She's looking for the drone crap.
Dolphin coming in and out of the water.
does. Yeah. Anyway, so let's, it's like a two minutes, but
it's worth listening to. To this.
My understanding is even though this was an unfortunate
situation.
This is the committee chairman and president
took responsibility. And that's a question in the minds of a lot
of us is, is that good enough? Now, my next question to each
one is infatuation. Today, would it be in a different?
By the way, listen to this, this is the quality of the recording
that we get. I mean, this is not my fault. This is literally the
quality that is put out there. I mean, it's not like they're
intending anyone to use this for anything.
The State Department it wouldn't be different, Mr. Chairman. We
had a process that had been worked out with the interagency
community. And we have discovered that we did not have
sufficient checkmarks. There was no requirement, our previous
rubric when we reported on a piece of Viper meaning somebody
coming into American embassy and saying we have concerns about a
third party. We reported that immediately, but we did not have
in that process, a checkmark that this individual had a US
visa,
are they doing this on like a clipboard? A checkmark? This is
like it's just like crazy. Because like so you come in. So
the guy's dad comes in and says, hey, the guy's a nut ball, he's
gonna do something. And they're like, oh, okay, we'll check that
off on the list here.
I cannot tell you why that wasn't included. I can tell you
probably because we had already passed to the law enforcement
intelligence community, the list of everyone who gets a visa on a
daily basis, we have now added that to our process. So any
person who comes in the embassy and makes a report of terrorist
concern, not only report that individual in our visa Viper
message to the community, we add, this person has a United
States visa. And we've also enhanced the name checking
capability in that system to make sure that if there's a
misspelling,
here it comes
as a result. So what does that do? In the process, does it
revoke the visa? Does it?
As I mentioned in my statement, Mr. Chairman, if we unilaterally
revoked a visa, and there was a case recently, we have a request
from from a law enforcement agency to not revoke the visa,
we came across information. We said, this is a dangerous
person. We were ready to revoke the visa. We then went to the
community and said, Should we revoke this visa in one of the
members and we'd be glad to give you that out. A private said
please do not revoke this visa.
Here you go. So I think that's a huge story.
I don't know who it was.
Well, that he was he wasn't going to he wasn't going to
divulge that in this in this committee. So I'm gonna do it in
private.
Yeah. So it had to be CIA. Of course,
who else or or FBI maybe or, but who knows,
I may see something like this. He had this whole process. Is it
possible that the kid this is that this is kind of playing
your role here? Yeah, sorry. Every time I see one of these
situations, and there's a botched attempt, and everybody
knew about it, and it was a strange Indian man at the
counter, and there's somebody was filming it, and somebody
else was arrested that was on the plane that nobody's followed
up on, which was witnessed by a number of people that were put
into, you know, because everybody on the plane was put
into a warehouse for a while and And against that one guy, some
other Indian guy was arrested and taken out. No one's ever
said anything about that. Meanwhile, this other this kid,
this
kid was 23 year old.
Is it possible that this was really an extraction and
extraction of the kid he was into Yemen, maybe the whole
thing was a scam they were the kid never wasn't a terrorist. He
was just part of a bigger scheme to arrest this other guy. You
know what,
you know what I'm missing? I'm missing. You know, remember how
Colin Powell held up that vial of anthrax and like, you know,
this must be someone should be sitting there on the panel
holding up a pair of smelly half burned underpants going this
could kill us all. This is the danger, you know, like some poop
hanging off and stuff. Now, there's none of that. There's
none of that, except for that bogus picture that was at ABC
had a picture of some unburned underwear. Yeah. I mean, you
know, I was talking to Dr. Dave on Friday, you know, and he, so
he finally figures it out. He says, Wait a minute, you
actually you don't actually believe that the government was
involved in bringing down the Twin Towers, do you? And I said,
Yeah, I have to say I'm a 911 truther. And I got into it
through pilots for 911 truth.org. And he said,
Dude, it's impossible. I mean, there's no way that such a big
lie could be covered up. And I said, Dave, you're a smart guy.
The biggest lies are the ones that that are easiest to cover
up. If the lie is so big that people can't imagine that the
government would do anything horrible. You know, like, kill 6
million Jews? I'll just make some up. You know, if you make
the lie big enough, then yeah, people don't believe it. is hard
for people to realize. And I know you're not exactly on board
with the whole truth or thing.
No, but I am I am a skeptic about the World Trade Center
seven going down like a rock.
Well, very interesting. And this, of course, got no play
whatsoever. But on the 19 So that was what Friday 1000
members of the architects and engineers for 911 Truth held a
press conference. essentially saying just that, that there
were unanswered they went to the head like 28 locations in seven
different countries. And they all want it people went out in
mass and said, Look, there's all these engineers, all these
architects say this could not happen. These buildings being
pulverized, not to dust but to powder, absolute powder, you
know, pieces of debris being shot out of the building, you
know, at 600 miles an hour, and of course
World Trade Center seven falling at freefall acceleration.
Hey, by the way, you know, I was watching the IRS guy on the
airplane that that building was on fire like it was no tomorrow
that couldn't explain all the flames and that thing didn't
collapse. No, I didn't World Trade Center seven collapsed
because from what flying banana, I mean, doesn't make any sense.
Flying
banana? Well, please go to a nine eleven.org. And, and take a
look at some of the excellent research. I've done the
PowerPoints, the videos, the presentations, and these are
engineers, you know, the engineers of the world can
definitely get into this and understand the science. Oh, wait
a minute, I should actually say there's more sciences. And it's,
it's, yeah, I mean,
he got on to this topic. Yes. I think we might as well bring up
one of our producer sent us a note about the Texas election.
Yeah.
So this I think this does tie into what happened with the with
the Austin kamikaze pilot, and I have a lot of questions about
what happened there.
I've been a longtime listener of the show, and I have to say that
you all been spot on with your suspicions Glenn Beck and Sarah
Palin. Up until about a week ago, I was a fan of both Sarah
Palin and Glenn Beck. I really enjoyed Sarah Palin.
Through the Texas accent that's
talking about teeth that could be like a rich Texas. Every
person kind of MPs also enjoyed many of Beck's rantings against
progressivism. And by the way he was did an interesting job. It's
a recent meeting. We'll talk about that to progressivism as
well as the support for the tea parties. I've even thought of
Beck as a modern day Paul Revere, as of this past week
that all that changed. I believe a majority of people like myself
who identify themselves with the tea party with me here in Texas
now feel very much betrayed by both Beck and Palin. Here's
what's going on the Texas governorship is up for election
this coming November. The primary elections on March 2 On
the Republican side of the ticket we have Rick Perry Kay
Bailey Hutchinson and Deborah Medina. In full disclosure, I'm
supporting Medina I also believe that many people who associate
themselves with the Tea Party as well as Ron Paul's campaign for
Liberty support Medina also, in fact, Medina worked in the
campaign for Liberty before running for governor blah, blah,
blah. You guys are called Sarah Palin speech at the tea party
convention where she encouraged the common people to step up and
run for office against the career politicians, Kay's been a
senator since 1983. Rick is running for an unprecedented
third term, I believe most would consider Medina to fit the
description yet Palin goes and endorses Perry. Some may call it
quid pro quo for endorsing the McCain Palin presidential
ticket. As for Beck, he interviewed Deborah Medina this
past week and accused murderer 911 truther. Yeah, Van Jones.
Media didn't do a good job of answering the questions but
tried to clarify herself on subsequent radio shows. The
first interview came along with just enough to irritate many tea
partiers, but Beck kept on accusing her and other shows.
The local radio station, which carries Beck is home to a couple
of local conservative radio personalities who all have their
lines lit up this past week from people who are limited both Beck
and Palin many people are questioning white Beck is even
going after a little known Texas gubernatorial candidate on his
national TV show in the first place that I end on. Yeah, and I
think that
this so outside of why or why not? Or even if if Joe stack was
even flying the plane, and there's so many things that are
just unknown, and so many really weird things like the hazardous
materials team just happened to be across the street the minute
the minute that the the plane flew in, did you know that?
No, none of one of these coincidences? Yeah, no,
actually,
I think. If you want I can actually, there's a piece of
audio of a video here it is. Let's just play this. Oh, wow, I
got a YouTube error that's out of control. That's new. Wow,
YouTube is down.
Now able to play it a Wow. No, it says
sorry, something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys
has been dispatched to deal with this situation. Also, please
include the following information in your error
report. And then there's like a whole long thing of hex. I
wonder if this video has just been taken down? Hold on. Let me
just let me see if all of YouTube is down. Hold on. That's
interesting. Because this was a news report. Here's why I always
know but it was a video, you know, what
am I going to do now? It's hard to record everything.
Okay, well, that seems to be working. So YouTube itself isn't
down. Hold on. Wow, I'm getting a 500 internal server error on
the actual video that has an eye witness at the scene saying,
yeah, and she doesn't say hazard material. She actually says, oh,
yeah, the hazmat team was just across the street here. Who uses
that? Who uses that term hazmat? Is that like? Yeah, thank you.
So now all of a sudden, this video is getting a 500 internal
server error. Let me just post this into the no agenda chat.com
chat room so people can see if they can get a go. There's the
URL guys you go on. We'll have the NASM work on it, see if we
can get a copy of that video. So anyway, outside of that, the way
it's being used, because there's so the Tea Party, Tea Party
years, there's no real actual Tea Party, you know, one of
their main drivers was hey, and the Fed stopped the tax, you
know, and all this crazy stuff. So this guy is being associated
with tea party, because of his rant against the IRS, which by
the way, a guy who does embedded systems doesn't seem like a guy
who would post something in Microsoft Word on his website,
you know, that that was very strange to me. Um, and Deborah
Medina is, you know, she's basically on that same path.
Although she expressed I listened to the interview with
with Glenn Beck she expressed the says that, you know, she,
you know, the 911 is a federal issue, you know, she's concerned
about, about Texas issues. And you know, as well as Glenn Beck
launches instead of, well, if someone was a 911 truther, would
you still associate yourself with him and said, Look, I'm not
a Mind Control person. People can think what they want to
think. But what I did is I did have a listen to Alex Jones's
show. Friday. I guess I heard that Saturday, the repeat
because he's in Austin, and he had a lot of very interesting
insight information he has he's had Deborah Medina on his show,
and she sounds very competent. I have to tell you, she sounds
very, very smart. And of course, Texas is probably one of the
states that if they wanted to could secede from the Union, you
may they have a very strong, straight line. That Oh, wouldn't
it be fun though? Wouldn't it?
Okay wouldn't manage it
I mean, I know what the law says and how they did the deal, but
it's not gonna happen. They could they couldn't do it if
they wanted to really. Hammer would fall Forget it.
Well, what is the whole thing about the 10th? Amendment? I
mean, is that not real? Isn't doesn't does not hold water?
I don't think it does. I think it's just a dream. It's just
it's a it's a it's kind of a wishful thinking that you could
do this kind of thing. It's not gonna happen. gonna happen
wouldn't be able to be wouldn't be nobody could do it.
You see. Did you see the Newsweek article about the top
10? Conspiracies?
No, but before we get into that, let's finish the medina
conversations. I want to mention something kind of funny. Okay.
We're going to talk about this a little more later, which is the
just ended like a day or so ago that Conservative Political
Action
CPAC Yeah. Where I might add, Ron Paul, won the stroke, the
straw poll vote by 33%. Amazing.
Yeah, I know, people like Newt Gingrich got like 3% or 4%, the
whole thing was hilarious. And then nobody wanted to talk about
this. You know, they had all these different speakers in the
thing ended with a Glenn Beck speech, which was quite well
written. I don't know who wrote it, but it was well written. And
Beck performed very well, even though it's a lot of
contradictory stuff. And the things he said, and by the way,
I watched Beck show this last Friday. And I think he really
loves up on the Friday show. So if people want to watch back,
maybe she watched the Friday show, it was absolutely a we're
I mean, I have to give Fox credit. My son who's not, you
know, who's not a conservative by any means that he loves. He
thinks that the Reilly show is a work of art the way it's
presented. And but I think the Glenn Beck show and with Beck
just by himself, carrying an hour is one of the really fine
presentations and and just last Friday show was absolutely
fantastic. So I was interested in hearing his speech at the
CPAC. And it was a real interesting speech. And I have a
clip from it later,
you know, you know, our theory, of course, on this program is
that the Democrats actually run Fox News. And the more I think
about it, the more that the Tea Party or the Tea Party nation, I
should say, which of course, is the Sarah Palin fraction pulls
away from the Republicans, the better it is for Democrats. Oh,
yeah. I mean, this. Yeah, it makes like it makes like perfect
sense for for all of this to be going on on Fox. So that the
Democrats as long as they kind of stay together, they'll
they'll, you know, they still have a good shot of winning the
midterms.
Yeah. And if you remember, I can't I we talked about this on
one of the shows where they had a bunch of these characters,
these ex Republicans that supposedly part of the Tea Party
movement, they went up and they had a I forget what election, I
had to go look it up again, because we talked about I forgot
all about it. But there's an election that was essentially
split, because some guy ran as a conservative. And the and the
Republicans held this seat in Congress for forever. And they
brand is crackpot Ken Soper so called conservative against the
Republican who was a shoo in and they split the party and the
Democrat got into this into this position that hasn't been held
by Democrat forever. And so I think there's something like
that going on. And this is like, part of it and this Medan
obviously Medina is a roadblock for some unknown reason. So
they're ganging up on her
I gotta tell you, I've heard her speak I like her. You know, she
she actually gets the real numbers on the finances and
she's you know, she's got a no nonsense attitude. I think she's
pretty interesting. Thanks to the NAMM. We have the the audio
and the video now of this eyewitness as reported by
Austin. The Austin NBC affiliate, and this so they're
standing literally across the road from the IRS building and
listen to this. This eyewitness is at the Home Depot parking lot
where you were, it wasn't
actually I was over in the world market parking lot. So it was
about the same angle but but not quite. Quite. Okay. And your
name, ma'am. Making really making right how do you spell
that last name? Ri le was okay, great. Well, Megan, tell me what
you saw this morning. Yeah, well, a little bit before 10
o'clock. I was over there near the Mopac and 183. And the plane
came flying over from look like pretty much straight from the
east. It was kind of curving a little bit. Nuts. It looked like
there wasn't anything wrong with it. It sounded like it was
running fine. The engines weren't smoking or anything. But
it was really low. I missing the power lines. And it was clipping
really, really sharply to the left. And honestly we kind of
thought it was somebody just messing around flying too low
trying to Hear copilot or whatnot. And so we heard the
explosion. And we looked at over here in the siting of this
building had fallen down. So yeah, just describe for me what
that it had to be surreal. It definitely was because, like I
said, we thought it was just me joking around, we didn't think
the plane was actually crashing when we saw it. And it was so
low that it was kind of one of those things like I didn't see
the person, but it was close enough that you could have seen
the guy in it. So describe for me what you're what you're
feeling. Now, as you see this is it's very surreal. It doesn't,
it seems like one of the things you see on TV, not something you
actually see. Thinking about for the people that are inside that
building right now. I've you know, I've heard most of them
are okay, but I mean, a plane just hit their building. That's
just, that's ridiculous. And I mean, it's 10 o'clock in the
morning on a weekday, there must have been tons of people in
there.
Did you? Did you actually see the plane flying across? When am
I free? How long? How long would you estimate that plane was?
Like I said, when it was when it was back there, which is what
half a mile some? It was already. Like, we were worried
it was gonna hit the trees over there. So I mean, it was already
coming in way too low. So whatever was going on, it didn't
get out of
school, maybe 2030 feet above the ground. What do you think?
I'd say where I saw it, at least it was probably about 50. But is
there anything else that you would like to say? After this
seeing this this morning? I guess sorry. The one thing I
would like to say is I know the the fire department got here
real fast, because they actually had a an engine sitting over
there that just happened to be doing something with hazmat. So
like right away, so
he actually sets her up for the question. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I
forgot to say the thing that I was supposed to say about the
hazmat.
Like he kept training for to say that. Yeah, it was like,
where's the setup already? And you know, she's like, I didn't
see the pilot, but I was close enough to see him. Was there
actually a pilot onboard?
Here, ever? She never said she said she could have seen it.
They were close enough. She never said she did see him,
you know, and I went to the wayback machine because of
course, this website, by Joe sack was taken down by the FBI,
which makes no sense, by the way. And if you look at the
Wayback Machine, he did embedded embedded systems for like
Teledyne. And, you know, a lot of defense type contractors,
including some GPS flight based navigation embedded system. So I
thought, why didn't he leave his house on fire, but his wife and
his kid weren't in there. And now there's a report from his
daughter who lives in Norway from his first marriage, who
says just awesome sound like my dad, this, this note is written
by him. So there's all kinds of weirdness around that. But I
cannot help but think that we said something was bound to
happen, that there's something is going to discredit. I
actually said you might be an attempt on the President's life,
something is bound to happen. And while we were on the air
talking about it, this takes place and it's immediately
pinned on. What is it called homeland homegrown terrorism.
Yeah, they backed off on that though, immediately. Now, they
first they started fritton with it first started off as
homegrown terrorists and they were pushing that real hard, and
then they pushed it toward the Tea Party. And so now you had
everybody call him just a nut ball. And typical, you know,
trying to you're trying to associate the Tea Party people
with nut balls. This is a bit this is a main meme that's been
going on even O'Reilly and Beck and everybody else have been
saying, wow, there's a certain percentage of that are crazy.
And the funny thing is about this Tea Party thing I was
thinking about this this week, is that I was that was watching
some of the protests and it was I am watching these protests.
I'm thinking these protests are the only thing is weird about
them is that they're being done by conservatives who very rarely
carry signs and protests. It but if these were all let's say this
was a left wing anti war move protests from like, during the
Iraqi invasion, with all those answer people and all the other
crazy kinds of signage that were going that was going on against
George Bush and all the nuttiness. I mean, it's the same
protest. Events are always the same. They got a bunch of screwy
people there because they're just you know, 2468 Who do we
appreciate? You know, why do we want what did we want we on it
now and all this kind of thing
is so much imagination and creativity isn't there?
Yeah, this same old you know, jingles and it's just being done
by different people. They're no different than the left wing
protesters in that regard. So this, trying to paint them with
this brush. We're doing everything we can to make it
say, wait a minute, you guys aren't supposed to be the ones
ever protesting get back to work and let the left wingers do
their thing and then you get go back to your homes. Yeah. Do you
nut ball? Nut balls?
Oh, man. So, so it's it's, you know, on the one hand, you know,
you said something interesting, I was reviewing the last show
and I do this I, you know, I, we really work hard on the program
and we think a lot about what we're saying, well, we hit we
don't hit, we tried to keep it within some reasonable
timeframe. And you said, you know, they're going too fast.
And I don't know if it was something you said consciously.
But, you know, it does seem like things are being pushed ahead,
like, like, there is no central control anymore. And things are
just bopping around we see, you know, the cabinet falls in the
Netherlands. We're seeing you know, this this Newsweek article
which I'd like to get to where it Newsweek, you know, this is
Newsweek, who are basically saying, you know, all these
conspiracy theories, you know, they're crap with no evidence,
by the way to the contrary, and then all these things that are
taking place, you know, this this Austin kamikaze bomber
could easily be some form of false flag does all this stuff
is just happening too quickly. And it seems like the wheels are
coming off the thing they were either that or you know, the
whole The sky is gonna fall I mean, it's one or the other, but
it feels like someone's lost basic control over what's
supposed to happen. And maybe it's just greed and the trying
to get everything rolling as quickly as possible for you
know, before the inevitable happens. I don't know it just
it. It feels unsettling. Yeah, and
of course, they're doing the best job they can have come up
with distracting news. Tiger Woods is confession.
Oh, my God, what was that all about? I mean, that's that was
without a doubt. Distraction.
Sorry,
damn near did an entire show about it.
I know. It's like, why, you know, and it's just, it's the
obsession. Yeah. And we're programmed. We're the people are
programmed to care about this. And by the way, if you're Tiger
Woods, and that and you can choose from all the porn stars
in the world. That is not the one to choose.
Well, not only that, but all my wife was pointing this out. She
says, you know, I can see why Ellen was irked. Not fair, but
because of the choices. It's like an insult to her. Yeah,
it's the work that came up with identifying all these women that
he would apparently I was skanks
big time skanks just nasty I mean not even sexy. Not even
hot. You know, the one who came on with their own press
conference right after Tiger Woods, or tea Thrall jutting out
and stuff was like yeah, I mean, I've seen better looking porn
stars. And by the way, he's under porn stars to porn
actress. I've never heard of this woman. And I'm, I'm pretty
reliably informed. To say the least. So here here, this may be
a clue John as to what's happening. This is an amazing
story coming from business insider.com Apparently, many
Citi Group customers, so I guess Citibank, etc. On their monthly
statements, there was a notice. Now I know John, you and I both
have a different bank that flies way under the radar of
everything, including tarp. This is the notice that was printed
on Citigroup customers statements, and I quote,
effective April 1 2010, we reserve the right to require
seven days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all
checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this
right and do not have and have not exercised it in the past, we
are required by law to notify you of this change. Seven days
advance notice before being able to take money out of your
checking account.
What about writing a check? You can write a check?
I guess not well, they can delay it up for up to seven days
effective April 1 2010. So that's weird. That is weird. You
know, and I would take my money out of Citibank right now if I
had any there immediately. Yeah, seven days to
make sure there should be a run on the bank as we speak.
Maybe or maybe it was done to create a run on the bank. I
don't know but you know, this I've not seen this anywhere
except business insider.com Which I know that seems like a
pretty
you know the whole banking thing as you deal with they've gone
out of control with the credit cards. They're they're getting
you know that there's story after story. If I did have a
couple I didn't use them as clips. I try to do them on
Thursday, story after story about how these guys are
basically and then the stories are handled like oh and the
banks have decided to raise The interest rates are 30%. And you
can now from the minute you buy a purchase, you have to start
paying interest. There's no grace period and going on and
on. And that's just the way it is. Instead of saying this is
gouging? Yeah, does anybody notice that the banks are these
credit card companies in particular are gouging the
customers. I was having to
think out outside the other day, I was laying in the sun here at
the hilltop Watchtower and watching hawks circling
overhead, which is just beautiful, by the way to see
this count there, California hawks, right?
To they go after your cigarette after your eyes, scratch them
out.
Maybe they had transmitters? I don't know. But I'm thinking
like, you know, all these all these people, you know, the
whole thing would be like, Oh, you don't ever want to declare
bankruptcy. Because you know, you'll destroy your credit. And
I'm thinking to myself, who needs credit, you know, stop
with a credit already. You don't need that car. You know,
whatever you've got is fine. You know, just save your money, set
a little bit of an aside, and then you can upgrade to
something bigger later on. If everyone just unmasked right now
today walked away from their mortgages, just said, I'm not
paying anymore. I'm not paying for that credit card. I'm not
paying for it. There's not enough law enforcement to
actually do anything about it. If we all just said, You know
what, screw you. I'm not going to do it. Here. They can't come
in and kick everybody out. Of course, we could never
orchestrate something like that. But at the end of the day, who
needs credit? Where's this magical thing coming from that
you need credit? I don't need credit. I spend what I have and
I stay
there you don't you have trouble getting loans of any sort. If
you don't have a credit record? I know. But
you don't need to be in debt. But yet, right. But what do you
need a loan for? You don't need a loan. You make money. You save
your money for a rainy day you pay your rent, you pay your
basic food, and then what do you need a loan for? For what?
He asked you this? Somebody wrote in on the complaining
about our donation requests, saying why is Adam Adam just
bought a huge mansion in Southern California? What did
what did you pay for the mansion there? Adam?
Do you rent? I'm renting it? I'm renting it? And shall I tell you
something? Because I have no credit in this country, because
I left in 1999. And I would have to build up credit again. So I
have no, I have zero credit. And as you know, the only thing I
can show is investors who invested in my company, but I I
cannot get a credit card. I can't. I've been declined for
every credit card.
And I just can't use a debit card from the bank you go to and
I
gave up because I'm like, I'm not gonna I'm not going to lower
myself to prove to these guys that I'm credit worthy. I don't
give a crap. And I don't need credit because I stay within my
means. And I'll tell you something, the landlady that
we're renting this place from, she met us and she said, No
problem. Give me the deposit and you can move in on the 15th. And
she did no credit check. And I said honestly, uh, you know, if
you want to do a credit check on me, it's going to be difficult
because I have none. She said, Okay, I trust you. And that's
that we have to go back to that. We have to go back to those days
where you know, and by the way, if I don't pay, she'll come here
and she'll show me which is probably the right thing to do.
So we have to we have to stop thinking that we this artificial
idea that we need to have credit when we need to have loans and
yeah, I didn't buy no damn mansion. Okay, it's a house from
1930 You know, the windows are scratched. It's in a nice
location. Absolutely. But you know, I am renting it. And I'm
happy and I don't feel less America we're gonna have a great
party. I don't feel less American about it about not
owning it. That's another farce I really don't yeah, look at you
own your house. They're in Berkeley. You can't leave the
damn place because you can't sell it
in this market Yeah, you're right yet to hang on everything
for a while.
You'd probably be underwater. I don't know if you have I don't
know anything about your financial status. Except that
No, I'm not sure the problem is I because I've always been a
writer. I've never been given the kind of credit rating that a
normal working person has. So we've always had to put a lot of
money down and we've always been had to have it we don't have a
like a stretched mortgage. So it's pretty hard to go
underwater. So okay, so let me read this letter. Now we're
talking about people donating to the show every so often that we
called out I think specifically India and France as just being
kind of not you know, to well they've never
donated just one donor we got one guy once again from France.
I think
one from India one from friends maybe. Okay, so it's a guy read
some Indian rights. Okay, I'll bite I've heard your excoriate
Indians are not listening or making contributions to your no
agenda Podcast. I'm in India in needs from India but I live in
Los Angeles and an avid listener to your show. You guys are a
bunch of nuts cranks and purport to call it call yourself geeks,
G's have yet to find anything useful in your show that would
move me to make a contribution. I am optimistic though that one
of these days either you or Adam might say something that will
make some sense to me. Maybe then I'll open my paypal wallet.
I doubt it. Tell Adam I like his earthquake machine rants, I had
a theory at the time of the Big Indian Ocean earthquake tsunami
that was actually manufacture earthquake whose goal was to
tilt the Earth's access to increase the Chandler wobble of
the earth access, which would cause some climate change
delaying the effects of global warming. And he thinks we're
nuts. Yeah, really. Even I didn't come up with that one. So
thanks for the podcast one of these days, you were hit a nerve
with me and I might move to donate. So I started looking
into this and I realized first I know that India is notorious for
being cheaper than the Scots, who are also by the way, penny
pinchers. And so this like in the in the Cricket World is a
big scandal of a player skipping a charity match. I rented a
couple of bullet blogs and we read from silicon India here in
India, people keep the insides of their houses immaculately
clean is written by an Indian by the way, but the streets are
strewn with garbage. It may seem like a small observation by
think it says a lot about the Indian frame of mind. They are
very attended to their personal welfare. He goes on and he says
the effects of the self centeredness are manifest in the
conditions of India's higher education system. Unlike
American alumni associations, violations. When the time is
right they expect students to fulfill their obligations with
cash Indian institutions rarely see returns for the top notch
and dirt cheap education they provide grants from Institute's
like Harvard and Stanford send billions to their alma mater.
And the Indians do not deny that there's a blog from Ned Dan, who
is a American entrepreneur. And he makes this interesting
comment he says when he says when it comes to a key sign ever
interest in community, the amount we give in charity, we
Indians are among the most tight fisted in the world. The US has
long been the most generous in terms of per capita donations
and charity work are giving on the other hand pales next to
Indonesia, Thailand and most other Asian countries. So
essentially, the fact of the matter is, I should stop
complaining about the Indians, because they're never going to
give anybody any money. They're just a bunch of cheap bastards.
So that's just the way it is. Now, on top of that, you have
the French who had complained about can you play the Glenn
Beck commentary?
Yeah, I just wanted to say, is this where the term Indian giver
comes from? Or am I confused?
That our government looks at the American people as the bad guy.
We're not the bad guy. Stop penalizing us. Americans also
don't need to be taught how to give. We don't need to be taught
how to take care of each other.
For how to be this is from CPAC.
Yeah, this is from CPAC.
Charitable, were charitable automatically. Why were
Americans in 2008, the American people gave $307 billion in
charity, it was the second year in the world. This is the last
statistic that we have the 2008 second year in a row, that it
was over $300 billion per capita. That's 10 times the
giving power of the people of France. 10 times the amount.
Don't tell me we need to be more like Europe. Europe should be
looking over here. How do we do?
We rock Go USA, the world fuck the world. And of course, we
should play right after that shyster show up and take
advantage of people's goodwill and generosity of our search and
rescue team.
We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets,
blankets, your cash. So the point is that the Indians are
what they are and the French are what they are. And that's just
wait. Stop complaining about it. Yeah.
However, we do have a lot of people who support our show, in
the only way that we are able to generate revenue and we can't do
this for free. This is what we're what we do and what I hope
to be doing for a long time. I hope it can be the only thing
I'm doing. Right now. I'm supplementing my income by still
pretending to work at An MVNO. I'm going up again on Monday
night. going north. Yeah.
Meeting. Yeah, of
course it was for the Tuesday meeting. Are you kidding me?
And, and I have to say we're a long way off from it beings
Sustainable, but we're doing better. It's nice to see a
couple of executive producers on each show. And just to show our
and of course, we had two nights today, which is great. And to
show our gratitude, we'd like to thank a number of people who
helped us out in this past week.
Right. And then there's also a people have, we have a probe
program that we're developing to do the stream, and so we're
looking for money for them. So we are letter went out to our
normal contributors. And it'd be a follow up letter, because
there's still like, 400 people in there, we're open this
letter. That will, because we're closing this deal at on the
first of March, and people who have gotten some notes and be
like, I didn't get the letter, I just gave you some money. And I
said, Well, you get, you'll get the second letter, because I
have to add to the mailing was to double the new contributors.
But I want to thank everybody who gives even the small amounts
that some people come with some creative ways of getting rid of
their paypal account, or they've got, you know, some money they
found someplace or they you know, sending us blankets, even
though
we don't need blankets, we need cash.
But really appreciate we got the supporters we have, we have some
really strong supporters that give a lot. I mean, essentially,
they give us money every month or two. And we appreciate that.
But we also appreciate the $5 a month donations, I think that
are important. And if you want to get if you've been listening
to the show, and you get anything out of it, I think we
have a lot of good material a good angle on things that make
your cocktail party conversations much more
interesting. Go to no agenda show.com or devora.org/n. A or
channel dvorak.com/n A and contribute. We would we do
appreciate it does keep the show going. It keeps us doing more
work, and makes us feel better. And I have
another minor plea. In order for me to actually quit my J dub and
J dub J dub it's like wait a minute. I've got that TCP laced
weed again. Hold on. This is bad my day job. If someone will buy
my plane, and you can find that at Trade Winds aviation.com
Yeah, I know there's lots of people listening to this you
know, I have we had a couple of nibbles this past week and I
need to get it sold pretty quickly because with this what's
happening now of course, is going to be a huge clamp down on
general aviation because oh, you know, we have to
do a sales pitch Adam good work.
No, no, come on. Real pilots don't give a crap about it. But
it's it's gonna hurt the price. And I'm selling it pretty cheap
as is. I just want to move the
price go up. Sorry. And make make the price go up.
I just want to get rid of it so I can quit.
Okay, well get rid of it. Okay, trade
with trade trade when trade winds AVH. No, I'm not. I've
been sick for the past five days like some of the swine flu. Hey,
Adam. My name is Michael. I'm from Buffalo, New York. I wanted
to let you know this show gets me through my days at work. I
work at a porn shop and it's miserable.
By the way the streams dead.
No, it's not. Okay. I work at a porn shop and it's miserable.
Which doesn't sound right. But hopefully I can make my way to
college soon. Long story short, I'm 23 I skip college to help my
ex stepfather with his mortgage. I play the show at work and
customers always ask what station I'm listening to my
response is always station Are you insane? This show would
never be able to be broadcast on on on Citadel. I don't know what
that is. Then I point I'm in a local state show, then I point
them in the right direction to you guys. Anyway, I feel
terrible that I leech off the show and never donate Well, you
know what you're gonna get? He's like, I'm gonna save up and he's
gonna get on a plan. So, but I just thought was kind of cool
that we're now being broadcast in a porn shop.
And by the way, you won't have the ASCAP police pounding down
your door for rebroadcasting anything because we encourage
it. Yeah. You know, it's illegal to do that with a radio station.
Oh,
no, we won't. And we want people to copy the show and burn it to
CDs. I just got a Twitter from no agenda torrents who says for
the record. The French have never downloaded a torrent of
the show. But India has. So there's leeches out there in
India. We've never received anything from India have we?
I think we got one guy who's on one of the plans. Okay, so let
me read some of the notes we got from people with the donations
like $50 from Jared Shapiro in Summerville. South Carolina says
I will email in addition to the note but I have been listening
for over a year now to every show in the morning on the way
to work. Unfortunately my store is closing in March. I'll have
to find another job so I can keep listening to the show. I
would love it if you're going to add him with check out the
special documentary did on the Tea Party. We'll post that on
the show notes. John Kelly's course is just a layaway
program. Robert Hegedus $103.33 And this is going to become a
meme I'm afraid unfortunately I don't know if I should be
encouraging it but I think I will. I have another douchebag
shout out oh boy or listener that call out is non donating.
Douchebag friend reminded me to call out to that I know sort of
Ryan Turner and David Dolson pony up you cheap douchebags. On
the side note, I run an IT I run it to data center that was built
as an underground nuclear fallout shelter. So he says we
are invited to visit Nicky Schumacher. $58 from Brother
kingdom. No, come
on, give the guy's name. Leicestershire. Leicestershire,
right? Yeah, very good.
You got it? Leicestershire. Please wish Joel Phil II all i
Happy birthday. He'll be 2032 on February 23. Happy birthday and
he should give us a palindrome. 3021 plus 32 plus five. Joel
filiale. Now, I would suspect that these two are friends in
some way. And I suspect that she's doing this because Joelle
should probably be asking her to get married. Oh, okay. I'm just
guessing that's nice. $66 So Joe get off the stick. Six. She's
probably gorgeous.
Yeah, but she is hace que se
si. Yeah, Nikki, come on. Oh, Nick is pretty cute. $66.66 Joe
Jose, a fun towel. All right. I've been called up but this is
the guy by the way, who was called out as a douchebag. All
right, I've been called up by Ben rush and I'm not a douchebag
I'm calling out Sean make words. Wait,
wait, and I gotta get my finger on the button.
Just said Adam play the douchebag jingle now, by the
way. Thank you guys for calling this the guy we call on his
birthday.
Oh, right. Okay, you know there's an iPhone app called a
douche bag and it has a button on it. You can set it and it
will play douchebag in 17 languages. It's a fine it's a
fine app. I'm sure it will make half a million dollars easy.
That's
one of our fine reviews. Dallas Bedwell 55 bucks or Eugene
Oregon circuit six LLC. I'm Dr. Andy from circuit six and audio
visual lighting company we listen listen to no agenda, by
the way, he gave us 50 But we're thinking that he maybe should be
given if you can prove this associate public relations
person. We listen to no agenda on job sites and play the show
through PA systems on festival stages in concert. Wow, that's
awesome. Hey, everybody, Freebird
ray, ray magwell that radio guy $50.05 Jersey City $88.88 from
Andrew Abraham in Toronto. And he says in the morning to you a
bit late but Happy Chinese New Year hence all the eights. I
wish you good health and prosperity. I'm a student.
Here's a student is giving us money at the University of
Waterloo and after paying tuition. Here's all I can
afford. Now for the record. I'm an honor, Honors Geography and
Environmental Management candidate. And I think you're
because of the global warming climate gain in the IPCC are
ridiculous. Okay. Also, I'd like to call out Richard Thomas chin,
a York University student who avidly listens to the show and
is probably the only student at York who is aware of the mind
control going on at that school. All right, so that's our that's
I guess yet we're now where everyone's a douchebag
and you pay for the privilege is wonderful. No, seriously though,
we we appreciate it. We are proving that there is a business
model for this type of programming because it will not
work with commercials. And I'm working on my own manifesto. How
advertising just is broken altogether at least on scale.
And you know it's we've we're proving right here that if we
can build a small loyal community which we seem to have
certainly no agenda chat.com that there is a way that out of
many we can we can become one oh E Pluribus Unum. I just came up
with a new slogan.
Yeah, it's on the back of the new Penny. By the way. Maybe we
could talk about the white.org/na and no agenda
show.com and channel devora.com/na to donate. We
appreciate it. We'll you know could do I don't know how long
the douche bag thing's gonna continue. But it won't last I'm
sure well, let's, let's hope it doesn't last. Also no agenda
show.com for all of the show notes, which is a part of the
offering that we provide to you there The actual work that goes
into this program John and I are incommunicado or just throughout
the entire week, we're always looking at stories looking at
angles. I mean, how many how many people do you know that
actually text message each other and say, Hey, dude, something
cool on C span right now but Sadek. It is as Mickey sitting
here going like, is it time to watch ugly people again, she
hears the text message, right? If you like. A brother said,
Okay, well, you see like watching II, Chelsea Handler.
All right, what do you got to watch now, but she actually gets
into it.
She has some good stuff that we do have to go through a lot of
got boring stuff, so much
garbage just just to get to something. But you know what,
it's what what do you those people called? We're supposed to
do that stuff. Journalists, maybe?
Oh, yeah, that's what it is.
There's more than we do on this show, which is all a part of our
service to you.
Read a brand new book for you or do a movie review.
I am reading a phenomenal book, John. It's called side effects.
Death Confessions of a former Insider. I should be good. Oh,
my God. And I have a link in the show notes, an Amazon link. So
you can actually pick up a copy of the book. It's also available
on the Kindle. It's about this guy who was born in British
Guiana. And he eventually went on to become one of the top
salesmen for Eli Lilly. And he you know, he's, he's a
whistleblower, but you know, he's like 6465 right now, so
he's kind of retired and doesn't care anymore. But when you read
how the pharmaceutical industry with Eli Lilly, I think being
the most evil of them all now, they have they had they get the
award, the gold medal, what they do to hide people dying in
clinical trials and how they bribed doctors
that just some guy busted recently, some doctor who for
that last 15 or so years, has just been phoning up numbers and
is everyone Oh, that's then let's hire him. He's perfect.
Yeah.
So and this guy was, he's a sales guy. And he and he, he
really lays it all out. And it's a page turner. It's not a very
thick book, but it's just it's a page turner is like boom, oh my
god, I can't believe this. Oh, wow. And they make up diseases
like ADHD. That was completely fabricated and, and he really
focuses on the neuro. What do you call it? The neuro
neurotoxins, not the neurotoxic but but basically, Prozac the
drugs that are supposed to help you out of depression? Yeah,
right. And he says, you know, the number of suicides that are
done in clinical trials, they have people in a clinical trial
hanging hanging themselves, which that should never happen
is there supposed to be monitored it's it's amazing to
read it's easy to read and of course the guy you know has an
interesting history coming from coming from British Guiana you
know his holes it's only like the first chapter of how he got
into got to London finally got the study and got his first
medical degree and then went on to become a top salesman for Eli
Lilly but it's just you must read this book
you're gonna put a link to it to get an Amazon account some
people buy it through our
I have it through I have I found out that I have an Amazon
account. So you can we get get a little hit. I mean, a
dime is not that much now. Since we're on the topic, I got a
couple of ads. Oh, nice. That are right down this topics.
Dally so let's play the first one and we're just talking about
it for a minute but what I'm liking about some of these are
is the music that Avodart uses in the background which is just
to kind of call me and they change the pace that we just
listened to the music as your as the words are coming through you
can just see what's what is interesting sales pitch this is
I'm at the doctor getting my shoulder with as we're finishing
up, I mentioned I'm going to the bathroom more often. He checks
it turns out my urinary symptoms such as going frequently trouble
going for starts and stops and going off in the night are due
to BPH also, large prostate VPA says over time, every diet has
been shown to shrink the prostate, improve urinary
symptoms and reduce the risk of prostate surgery.
Only your health care provider can tell if your symptoms are
from BPH and not a more serious condition like prostate cancer.
Do not donate blood until six months after stopping Avodart.
Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, rarely sexual
side effects and swelling or tenderness of the breasts can
occur. Avodart is for men only women should not take or handle
Avodart due to risk of a specific birth
defect. Today is the day to talk to your doctor about your
urinary symptoms and find out a fabricar dishrag for you.
This is amazing. First of all, the music sounds like you too.
It sounds like the beginning of a YouTube track.
Yeah. There's one line in here, by the way, that just kills me.
Well, first guys go to his doctor and he says, You know, I
can't
pee. It's not going well, man.
And so but the end of the thing they say this interesting. They
make us interested. Tell your doctor you have if you have
liver disease, what can you imagine? Hey, by the way, I've
got liver disease, doctors watch that, how did you How do you
know? Anything?
Tell your doctor you have livers. I like this whole Jeep
GPD where they call it?
BP BPH? That means he checks and he checks
it out. Hold on, let me just check your cock. Let me check
your prostate.
Good thing. Turns out my urinary symptoms such as going
frequently, hasn't made for starts and stops and going off
at night, or do the BPH vPH Boehner prevention are hard on I
don't know
if some weird owner prevents and hard on it. Nice, John. Nice. So
anyway,
okay. And now we get to Lunesta ad, which I think is even more
interesting, because they have a they have this long laundry list
of all the things that will do to you, which none of which
sounds good. But they have this, they the sound effects they use
on this one. It's just like a snapshot into a maximum
attention. And so you have to listen to the ad listen to the
bell, they play like it's like a boxing match.
That's like pay attention. You are going to die if you don't
take this.
If you've taken your sleep aid, and you're still fighting to
sleep in the middle of the night. Why would you go one more
round using it? You don't need a rematch. But here's
the meeting. Okay, I've got this great idea. We're going to do a
boxing theme. Okay, and we'll do the bell for each round. We'll
use language that is related to boxing. It'll really work
because guys listen to that.
If you've taken your sleep aid, and you're still fighting to
sleep in the middle of the night, why would you go one more
round using it? You don't need a rematch, but are we think with
Lunesta, Lunesta is different it keys into receptors that support
sleep setting your sleep process in motion. Lunesta helps you get
the restful sleep you need when taking the Nesta don't drive or
operate machinery until you feel fully awake, walking, eating,
driving or engaging in other activities while asleep without
remembering it the next day has been recorded. Abnormal
behaviors may include aggressiveness oh sorry gotta
stop. Not remembering where you worried the next day is part of
remembering if you ate if you walked around oh my god, this is
good. This is this is good for you
driving or engaging in other activities while asleep without
remembering it. The next day has been recording abnormal
driving without remembering it. Oh, this is awesome. One more
time. I love this
area until you feel fully awake, walking, eating, driving or
engaging in other activities while asleep without remembering
it the next day have been reported. Abnormal behaviors may
include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations or
confusion and depressed patients worsening of depression
including risk of suicide may occur. Alcohol may increase
these risks. Allergic reactions such as tongue or throat
swelling occur rarely and maybe Side effects may include
unpleasant taste, headache, dizziness, and mourning
drowsiness. Stop fighting with your sleep more to get online
and ask your doctor about switching to the Nesta
restaurant
this is this is great It basically puts you in a zombie
state told zombie don't remember anything at all I
remember driving
this past the FDA regulation this is
nothing
oh my god this is an switching fruit yeah switching from what
does this does not knocking me on my ass and making me want to
kill myself. John, we need to take a stronger doc.
We just need to take this. We just need to try it out. You may
not remember doing an entire no agenda show but after taking
Lunesta, you may get very pissed off at your radio partner. You
may have suicidal thoughts but you may not remember the
suicidal thoughts. This is zombie meds This is fantastic.
Why don't people you know if you can't fall asleep I think
he's it's rude. Yeah Do not do not operate heavy machinery
until you feel fully awake yeah da oh my god, this is fantastic.
What is the what are the visuals that go along with Lunesta,
a woman tossing and turning in bed and then looking real calm
and then a butterfly flying All over the place like this, like
nightmarish hallucinogenic butterfly flying across the
screen.
Okay, so the whole Okay, so the whole time thing is because this
is what guys are supposed to buy for their women. Because
essentially, you know, the the whole boxing metaphor gets guys
attention like Oh, hold on a second oh wait a minute, the
bitch and even gonna know it she's gonna be asleep half the
time right now Yeah, honey, you should get some of this
and you won't remember a thing. BPH benign
prostate hypertrophy hypertrophy hypertrophy, hypertrophy
hypertrophy.
No, I was after you just said that pronunciation I can think
of in a second.
It's hard. Wow. Oh, I haven't laughed that hard in the in a
week. That's
a good one. Well, there's some other stuff we got here on those
on the back up. For one thing, we could either go get serious
and play some clips. I made a surprisingly good speaker at
CPAC. John Bolton. Or we can save that for the next show and
play some bad acting.
No, I don't want to do bad acting. Let's just I have some
serious stuff as well.
If you're gonna do that, then play my clip because as some
comment I want to make I have to ask you something. What you
think about this. I just want to play this short clip of Obama on
health care. Oh, hold on a sec was on down his Saturday. Now
and you know he does that Saturday.
State of the fireside chat. Yeah, right. Okay.
The other week, men and women across California opened up
their mailboxes to find a letter from Anthem Blue Cross. The news
inside was jaw dropping. Anthem was alerting almost a million of
its customers that it would be raising premiums by an average
of 25%. With about a quarter of folks likely to see their rates
go up by anywhere from 35 to 39%. Now after their
announcement stirred public outcry, Anthem agreed to delay
the rate hike until May 1, while the situation is reviewed by the
state of California. But it's not just Californians who are
being hit by rate hikes. In Kansas, one insurance company
raise premiums by 10 to 20%. Only after asking to raise them
by 20 to 30%. Last year, Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield
raise rates by 22%, after asking to raise them by up to 56%. And
in Maine, Anthem is asking to raise rates for some folks by
about 23%. The bottom line is that the status quo is good for
the insurance industry and bad for America. Over the past year,
there's families and small business owners have struggled
to pay soaring healthcare costs. And as millions of Americans
lost their coverage, the five largest insurers made record
profits of over $12 billion. And as bad as things are today,
worse, if failed.
So first of all, we have Anthem Blue Cross whatever, that's
yeah, that's our provider media and our we have not did not
receive anything in the mail.
Well, that your group thing is a little different than the way
they this is for the individual programs. But let me ask a
couple of questions here that are rhetorical. One of them is
with this health care bill kind of floundering. Why out of the
blue with these insurance companies draw attention to
themselves having as Obama points out rightly so that
they've made $12 billion in easy money profits. Why would they
jack up the prices out of the blue to draw attention to the
situation, which is exactly what happened with everybody covering
this? There's so that that question is has to be answered
in one of two ways. One, they were told to do it to get the
public option thing back on track. And so they would come
into which was our original theory, which is,
yeah, then all the all the talk now is about the upcoming
options
back on. Yeah. And there was either for that reason, in other
words, they're in on this somehow. In other words, it's
like, okay, Anthem, here's what we're going to do. We're gonna
do a public option, but you're gonna run it, it's going to be
even more easy money. But we've got we can't get it back on the
agenda can you get do an outrageous height, hike of the
rates and get a lot of publicity and that'll the public all
irked, and we can get this get this thing going, where it's
belong, where it belongs. These are that or they're jacking up
the prices because they know their days are numbered, and
they want to get as much profit and run as fast as they can.
What are those two things? There's no other reason to do
this rate hike. Both of these reasons are essentially corrupt.
But both but it has to be one or the other can't be anything
else.
Have you looked at the short positions because this was your
original theory is that once the public option gets pushed
through then all those people who who invested and got in
short well thank
you wasn't enough. The stocks all skyrocketed and they still
are far as I can tell that this hasn't changed. But the but the
public option thing is got to be a concern to people who are
investing in insurance companies. And it has to be a
concern to the insurance companies unless they're in on
the game, you know, in some way where there weren't a public
option comes out, somebody has to manage it. And then we love
to outsource everything. And it seems to me that you just say,
okay, Anthem, you're going to be running the public option along
with your own program, and then you can transition and take over
the whole thing if you want. This is this, this this
outrageous increase is just bogus. I mean, it wasn't done
because of some. It's a scheme. It's part of a scheme. It's so
obvious.
Now, Goldman Sachs will wind up running a public auction,
no, whatever the whole thing is. By the way where you were
talking, I just want to mention one more thing before you go on
to your next topic, which is that since you're talking about
the pharmaceutical chemists, I wanted to mention this article
that showed up in India in the India today. Publication,
apparently, this 84 year old Monsanto, I guess it was a head
of India, India's Monsanto division and long since retired.
He says that the guy worked in Monsanto for two decades,
including eight years as the managing director of India
operations to find information. Yeah, he says on Monday, he
elaborated by saying the company used to fake scientific data,
don't say, government regulatory agencies to get commercial
approvals for its products in India. Yeah, you don't say goes
on and on? Yeah, I know. It's all like, Yeah, well, we knew
this. And I
had this fantastic page, which now of course, is gone.
You're the same page as Hold on a second.
Oh, find it. Crap. Anyway, the USDA you know, I've been on
tracking the sugar, the falsified sugar crisis, the
synthetic sugar crisis. And essentially, this was an IT WAS
A NASDAQ page which is now gone, so I don't have time to go find
it. But I will get the original page back in the show notes no
agenda show.com That, that it is impossible to fulfill the sugar
need for the 2010 sugar crop without biotech seed now. Yeah,
impossible. The USDA is saying it we have to use Monsanto. It
literally says Monsanto produced biotech seed for sugar beet in
order to fulfill the requirements needed for the 2010
sugar crop. And and you know that like well, you know, we
really didn't look into how bad this stuff was because of
course, it's all been Roundup Ready seed Roundup Ready
resistant seed that's been used 95% And so they're like 5% real
sugar beet seeds still left over and there's just no way we
cannot fulfill the needs of what people need and sugar beet for
2010 without it being biotech seed and Monsanto is the only
guys who deliver this shit.
One more thing that guy in India said. He says at the time
Monsanto was getting into the seed business. And I had
information that a terminator gene was to be incorporated in
the seeds being supplied by the firm. This meant that the farmer
had to buy fresh seeds from Monsanto at a heavy cost every
time he planted crop. By the way, something like 200 or so.
farmers in India all committed suicide like like a year or so
go over some of this to try to these can't make their own
700 farmers it was it was much worse than that.
Whatever it was it was these guys are being put out of I'm
going to just been ruined. By the way sugar beets are
essentially you know if you're going to if you're going to use
sugar out there people use cane sugar. The sugar beet is
actually a toxic a beet and the sugar from it has to be highly
refined because the fact that it is a little insight information.
If you buy a like for example C and H is a cane sugar company
and I think Spreckels is the indoor Domino is a sugar beet
sugar company. If you buy a brown sugar, you can't make
brown sugar from a sugar beet you get a brown sugar but it has
to be refined because the molasses from that you get from
the from the sugar beet which is the part of the sugar that makes
it brown is actually poisonous. So when they make brown sugar
from sugar beets, they actually get molasses from cane sugar and
spray it in a special in a special device and sprays and
coats the sugar with his little brown color that becomes brown
sugar
So it's basically it's molasses covering a poison.
No, the poison is out. Okay, there's no poison and what's
left to sugars is fine. I mean the beet sugar sugar after it's
been refined and refined and you get all that toxic molasses out
of it. Yeah, it's okay. But if you want brown sugar, which some
people seem to prefer, you can't really make it from sugar beets
because that molasses is toxic. And so they have to spray it
with with regular cane sugar molasses, any cane sugar brown
sugar is genuine it's not sprayed with anything is real
brown sugar and that is that now what I find this out well I got
at one time I was was an inspect food inspector C and H cane
sugar factory and they gave me this long lecture about every
kind of sugar in the world. And then when they told me about the
poisonous molasses I got kind of I thought it was somewhat
amusing.
So here's the story. The supply of non biotech sugar beet seeds
available to farmers is insufficient if a federal judge
bans the use of genetically modified seeds. US District
Court Judge Jeffrey White could rule on the matter as early as
March 5 The time of year when most sugar beet farmers
traditionally begin begin planting. Quote, there's not
enough conventional seed to produce a crop this year says
Luthor Marquardt, executive vice president of the American sugar
beet Growers Association, the biotech sugar beet seeds under
consideration were developed by soy and are popular with US
farmers because of the herbicide resistance they provide before
these herbicide resistant seeds. Farmers had to use several
different kinds of herbicides that needed to be applied to
crops at different stages of plant development. So yeah, 95%
of the 2009 sugar beet crop was produced with genetically
modified seeds, please, the dynamin How did you know that?
No, I did. I didn't know Monsanto was making the seeds
for
them. They're making everything. They're making everything. The
FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is opening a massive
office near Chicago. And why would they be doing that John?
They liked the Windy City. Yes.
And to handle the coming tidal wave of Midwest Bank closings
they are expecting
Mizel centrally locate.
That's exactly it. They've got seven floors. In. In Chicago,
they're opening up a new office 500 employees because there's
gonna be so many Midwest bank failures. Like we might as well
be nearby. Okay, you know, you walk over there. Quick Bit of
real news. I loved this. From the from the Olympics. Oh,
shoot, man. You know what? The Olympic Committee took it down.
That's too bad. You can't save these videos. Ah, gosh, crap.
There's there's actually a couple of programs that allow
you to say
I could Well anyway, Sven Crummer is Dutch speedskater.
And he won the gold. And it was so funny. Because he wins the
gold. He comes across the finish line. He does like half a half a
circuit and he escapes out. And then there's this NBC or ABC
News woman, NBC, Lucia NVC, of course, sticks the mic in front
of his face and says, Tell everyone what your name is what
you just won what in what metal? You won. And, you know, because
she wants she wants to have like the peace, right? So the guy
just won the gold medal. Right? The gold medal for like this
sprint or whatever. And she's like, Hi. Please tell everyone
what your name is, what metal you want and what the event was
in high school. And his response is, what are you stupid? It was
beautiful. But of course the the Olympic Committee took it down.
That's too bad. What are you stupid? It was. I don't see why
the Olympic Committee has the right to take that down. It was
part of the deal part of the contract for full control.
Very interesting.
I was used to watch this crap. By the way the Olympic Committee
should be tarred and feathered.
If people don't understand that this is one big commercial
venture and visa scam. It's a
big scam. Getting a bunch of people that work for nothing.
Yeah,
these kids are working for basically for a pair of skis.
And in a tracksuit.
No, they can't. Well, maybe. I mean, I don't mind people
working for nothing. I think volunteerism is great, but this
isn't volunteerism, this is a huge and slavery operation that
doesn't pay out this slavery, slavery. It's a form of slavery.
So do you recall about a year ago we were noticing that the
SDR Special Drawing Rights were placed into all financial
systems. And I've received a printout of these SDRs and this
I think John is absolutely becoming the global currency
that we've been discussing. because it had there's now an
exchange rate against all different currencies versus the
SDR and, and this is now being used by traders in currency
swaps. So it's this phantom SDR. I'm not quite sure how they
would commercialize that and use it for consumers. But the
possibility of SDR as a meaningful reserve currency is
absolutely possible.
Interesting. Yeah. And
you'll see that the dollar and the euro, there's like a spread
of 12%. It's really it's, it's weird.
When it was probably something happening about that,
just looking at Gitmo nation, United States of Europe, that it
doesn't get any funnier. So, of course, we've been following
that Greece is in deep, deep trouble, by the way, huge
nationwide strike planned this coming week. You know, there's
no fuel already, there are fuel lines, because the you know, the
truckers are stopping everyone stop and they're just gonna stop
working, which I think is the right thing to do. This is the
French way. And they may not know how to donate to the show,
but they sure know how to get the attention of the elites.
They just stopped the whole economy. So this is this is
funny. yesterday's news about the departure of the head of the
Debt Management Agency Spiros Papa Naka laka Lu. I can't
pronounce the guy's name. Yeah, he's being replaced. So this is
the guy who is in charge of the Greek debt office. And of
course, this is the problem they have is they have this humongous
debt is being replaced by a former Goldman Sachs investment
banker. It doesn't get any better. Unbelievable. These guys
have no shame. Tucked, why should day it's just rolling,
right?
You and me who's complaining?
Just rolling right in. They they help them hide the debt in the
first place, by the way, Gitmo nation East United Kingdom.
Turns out their debt is now over 12%. They could easily be next.
Easily, they just had to borrow an extra 4.3 billion pounds last
month. pumping up their the forecasts was 178 billion. Now
280 billion, it's not going to stop. They are now over 12.8%
heading towards 13% of GDP, which puts them in a very
precarious situation. Now, of course, they they can inflate
their own currency which is smart, which is why they kept
the pound. But this is not. This is not a very good situation.
And it's nice, you know, it's nice to see that it's not just
the US is getting screwed.
We may come out smelling like a rose when all is said and done.
It's very possible. It's happened before ladies and
gentlemen, this is an
interesting story that I'll put the link in the show notes no
agenda show.com. If you wonder what people are like these,
these politicians, this is a great story that one of the
highest ranking members of the of the civil service. I'm trying
to try to find out exactly what the what his position is civil
service cheap chief actually had to take Prime Minister Gordon
Brown aside and speak to him about his abusive treatment of
staff. And when you read this article, this guy he's like, he
like stabs his pen into the leather of the car when he's
pissed off, he he jumps across the desk and grabs people by the
shirt collars and says they're out to get me they're out to get
me. He's running around screaming and yelling at people
that people are terrified at 10 Downing Street have them
terrified. And those got so bad here during one rage while in
his official car, brown clenched his fist and fury after being
told some unwelcome news and then thumped the back of the
passenger seat with such force. That protection officer sitting
in the front flinched with shock. The aide sitting next to
Brown who had just told him the information that provoked the
outburst coward, because he feared that the Prime Minister
was about to hit him in the face. I mean, I thought we had
that But no, he seems to have the same formula.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
That's right. That's what Gordon Brown does, and he adds to it.
So follow this in the in the observer there serializing. This
book that was written by this former chief, the Civil Service
chief, and it makes so much sense. You know, these people
are maniacal. They're egomaniacs and they're out of crackpots.
They are out of their minds completely out of their minds.
Oh,
yeah, and they're running things.
Hi Adam. John. I'm a junior in high school taking a US History
class. We're currently studying the 1950s. Concerning
McCarthyism and such this 17 year old. The whole class took a
survey adapted from a 1954 survey in sha Stouffer is
communism, conformity and civil liberties. A cross section of
the nation speaks its mind. It was in 1955. The answer students
in my class gave for the survey made me sick to my stomach, for
example, for the question, should the government have the
right to listen in on people's private telephone telephone
conversations in order to get evidence against communist? It
had 21 votes for yes and six for no. This question can be seen as
a direct parallel to the Patriot Act today, but in order to get
evidence against terrorists, quickly after the question was
asked of the class. Do any of you have any sense of privacy or
personal liberties, I was quickly attacked by other
students who claimed if you have nothing to hide, you have
nothing to worry about. I had to hold myself back from yelling at
the entire class, I hope who will hopefully be donating soon
once I get some pots of money. Being an executive producer for
no agenda would look good on a college resume. It would love
the show Tom Lawlor age 17 And I'm very pleased to hear this
but let me just say one thing don't go off on the classmates
you won't win. Okay, you've got to find other ways to you know,
get into college get into get into public service and run for
president will vouch for you. No doubt about it. That's just it's
just sad when I hear that oh, yeah, you got nothing to hide
you got nothing to worry about. Slave you wonder those Newsweek
things real quick. Have you? Did you read this?
No, I didn't want you to just go over. Okay. So Newsweek
came out with an and I don't know if it's in the paper
version, but certainly online know your conspiracies
Newsweek's guide to today's trendiest hippest and least
likely fringe beliefs. And it's written like by an intern, but
this is Newsweek. So number one, Barack Obama was not born in the
United States. So the the truthers, but the way this is
written on Thurs. Now the birthers I'm sorry, the way this
was written is I
think this whole thing this whole brought this this, I've
said it before in the show, I think the thing has always been
a red herring. And I think it was done by I don't know who
who's behind it, but it's always you just a bogus distraction.
The fact that this came up number one is is number 10. This
is
number one, St. Nicholas. So let me read you number two. So the
way the format of this article is one, it's the conspiracy to
it's the proponents of the conspiracy and three kernel of
truth. So number two, of course, is anthropologic. Anthropogenic
Global warming is a hoax, kernel of truth. So this is basically
Newsweek debunking this conspiracy. deniers have long
taken advantage of scientists cautious statements. And I liked
the use of the word denial deniers. Oh, yeah. And climate
gate, breathed new new life into the movement. But the science
stands. warming is real. And it's caused by human action
sciences. And this is Newsweek. This is Newsweek. The science
stands What a piece of crap. Goldman Sachs intentionally
created. The economic crisis is number three. kernel of truth.
Goldman undoubtedly did better than any competitor from the
financial crisis, and CEO Lloyd Blankfein even admitted albeit
cryptically that the company had, quote, participated in
things that were clearly wrong. This theory is tougher than
others to debunk fully because there's no empirical data
available either way. Nonetheless, while golden may
have profited, that alone doesn't prove malice or
conspiracy. Oh, my God is unbelievable.
stooges
but Newsweek did my mom, what you know, and you know, yeah, my
parents, you know, they had some government ties and stuff. And,
you know, she once gave me a subscription saying, you know,
this is great. You should read this is like this news week.
It's not reporting this is like COINTELPRO just laying it right
out on the line. From our, to to the head. This is just funny.
Remember the Lockerbie bomber? He was released?
Yeah. And pissed because he couldn't tell his side of the
story. Yeah. Why
was he released? John, do you recall?
Well, yeah, because it looks like they did turned up evidence
of show that the real culprits were somebody else and they were
going to bring this out in court. And so they decided they
decided to release them and ship them out of there as fast as
they could.
Right. That's the real story. But what What was the cover
story that was used?
I forgot what the cover story was
uncompassionate grounds because he
is dying or something. He's gonna be dead in a minute.
Well, turns out he's living in a luxury villa. Still Alive six
months after being at death's door.
You gotta love it. Yet Well, who's following up on it? This
is there must be a hot Newsweek story that's pointing out this
discrepancy.
It's only those two jerk offs from no agenda. And from the out
there files. Thursday, the Large Hadron Collider powers up once
again. So hunker down, everybody. Here it comes. The
this is so bad. This is so bad. I hope this thing blows up
again. By the way, we're called Big bangers now.
I was that what were called Yeah, big bag, big bangers. If
you don't trust it, you're a big banger?
Because it's going to create what they're supposed to
duplicate the Big Bang? Yeah. So it seems to me if you're going
to do that it would it would blow up the universe
or would create a black hole. And then there's an article that
was not the issue. And here's an article that comes from Belgium.
So we'll have to translate on the fly. Romanian authorities
found a or found hundreds of kilograms of heroin hidden in a
truck, which was on its way to Haiti. Oh,
yeah. Medical supplies.
Yeah. Real metals was hidden in the braking system somehow,
hundreds of of kilograms of heroin.
In a truck report in the Belgian press. Yes.
I have the link in the show notes.
I don't have any evidence of that being reported in the US
press. No, I don't think
you'll see it at all. So you know, like Haiti is becoming a
very interesting place. And there's also there's there's a
lot of news stories that it's kind of coming through. But, you
know, there was this guy who was a legal adviser for American
missionaries who were arrested on child kidnapping charges in
Haiti. He himself is now facing allegations of human trafficking
in El Salvador. You know why? Because they're all pedophiles.
They're all trafficking little children and abusing them in the
holes toll system is rampant with them. Ah, missionaries.
Disgusting. It makes me want to puke. What a cover story. Ah.
And then this guy is the Legal Adviser now he's now he's in
trouble for human trafficking of kids. Unbelievable.
It's enough to make you just go crazy. Do you have anything,
John because you have a couple more clips you want to leave.
That's
one of the things I want to I want you to do at the end of the
show. When we're done with the theme music we're out of here. I
want to play the three Bolton clips in a row really one after
another? Hmm, yeah, Bolton on sovereignty, Bolton on treaties
and Bolton on taxes. These are actually probably the CPAC show.
I think these are the three best little goodies that you're going
to hear from the whole event. And his thing on sovereignty is
actually quite interesting. And he's, you know, and we'll
probably do want to talk about this and maybe even talk about
it with the clip again, some other time. But, you know, he's
he sees things from a different perspective. He's actually it
was quite funny on this thing. I never liked him.
Tell people who who is just so they know, like he was the
former UN Ambassador under the Bush administration, who was
always seen as there's a lot of bad information or there was a
bunch of there was a bunch of slanderous loud, there was a hit
piece done on him before he got the job as some sort of a
horrible guy to work for. And he yell at people and he was an
asshole basically, is what everyone said. And you can see
him being kind of an asshole maybe. But the fact of the
matter is, his speech was outstanding. And his standing
with the points he makes about sovereignty, about the treaties
that we shouldn't be signing because of our sovereignty.
We're an independent country, we don't want to be part of some
other bogus thing run out of Brussels. I mean, essentially,
what he's saying is that the Europeans when they formed the
European Union now want to make it bigger, so they can rule over
us too, which is what they've tried to do with wars, but they
haven't been able to and now they're going to try to trick
us.
Yeah, exactly. And it's all part of the whole trilateral system.
So, but meanwhile, before we go, this we can play one of the CSI
clips the pharmacy scene, which I want to explain because it's
so hilarious. First of all, let's just play it
I just got a real time hit on Joseph Winston's stolen farm and
waiting for a suspect to turn it on triangulation trace it to a
pharmacy on Riverside Drive. And I just tapped into their
security camps.
On that, Sam, that's Casey Steele. What's, what's he
waiting for? Wednesday. Call the pharmacy tell him to take their
time Dan. Kohn, Fox and flax they're going shopping in
Washington.
So that by the way, they showed this pharmacy and it's a little
hole in the wall. craphole pharmacy that's dig. But
meanwhile, they got cams that they can tap right?
They triangulate and three three nanoseconds per turn on the
camp. Oh my God, then this is meant to make you believe that
they can do this stuff.
This isn't this is poisoning the jury pool of this country.
It's mind control is what it is. Mind Control.
So anyway, so we'll play the bulk stuff at the end. And that
would be probably the only clips we need.
All right, then let me just end on a really happy news. Happy
news note here, John. Yeah, this is good. As you know, we're
planning to visit many of our producers around the world we
need to get to Australia we need to get to get more nation
Eastern Europe. We must put Switzerland on our list. John.
Swiss prostitutes are now being trained to use defibrillators
and brothels in case heart patients go into cardiac arrest.
Yeah, no.
Apparently a bunch of people have been dropping dead in Swiss
brothels,
which tells me that there's something good going on that
sounds like they're doing their job at least.
All right. we've overstayed our welcome once again. We're doing
like two hours Shona is too long. crapola. Hey, help us out,
go to no agenda show.com Divorce act.org/na or channel divorce
iq.com/na and donate and get on the $5 a month program or the
$33 a month program. Coming to you from Gitmo nation West in
Southern California to hilltop watchtower, my name is Adam
curry.
And from the northern silicon enclave. It's actually starting
to drizzle now, which is good. I'm John C. Dvorak
will talk to you again early Thursday morning right here on
no agenda.
Clear where this is coming from, from comments made by the new
president of Europe. Herman Van Rompuy of the European Union on
November the 19th when he took office, Europeans take the the
presidency of Europe seriously. So I suppose we should but
anyway, Hermann von Karman Von Raab boy said, and listen, this
was before Copenhagen, but he said 2009 Remember that epic
year that the President talked about 2009 is also the first
year of global governance with the establishment of the G 20.
In the middle of the financial crisis. The Climate Conference
in Copenhagen is another step toward the global management of
our planet. Nobody in Europe laughed when their president
said that. And, and it's it's important when you remember the
adulation of one student after a speech the President made on his
first European trip, he said on his in his voice, he sounds like
a European, that that's where the problem is, we're going to
see more efforts on climate change. The collapse in
Copenhagen has not discouraged the advocates. And you know,
this is something that, that we need to be concerned about
whatever you think about the extent of global warming,
whatever the extent you think about its manmade causes,
because the people who support the sorts of state control state
regulation and international taxation that were being talked
about in Copenhagen, would advocate those same policies,
whether the problem was global warming, global cooling, or the
earth's temperature wasn't changing at all. This is a
statist agenda we have to reject.
The threats to American sovereignty are going to come in
a variety of other areas as well. I foresee at some point
that the President will find a way to once again sign the
treaty creating the International Criminal Court,
Secretary of State Clinton said last year, that it was an I
quote, a great regret, but it is a fact we are not yet a
signatory to the Rome Statute which created the court again in
the Bush administration. We took the US signature off that
treaty, which was a direct threat to American sovereignty.
The President has made it clear he wants to see a lot more of
American foreign policy run through the United Nations
system and he also he also wants to see the US proceed. He does
more engaged internationally. So there are a lot of treaties out
there that have weathered for a long time, I think the
appropriate moment, the administration will make another
effort to get them ratified by the Senate, the UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of
All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. You know, there's
a theme here in the United States at our federal level and
state level, we have dealt with questions of discrimination on
the basis of disability and gender, and a whole range of
issues. We in this room would probably disagree over what the
appropriate measures are, there'd be a broader
disagreement within the American population as a whole. But you
know what, as Americans, we are capable of passing our own laws
on these subjects.
You do not have to have a substantive position on these
treaties or questions like the death penalty or anything else,
to say they are not matters for international negotiation. They
are matters for democratically elected governments like ours to
decide on our own. We finally, I could go on with a lot of other
examples. But finally, one that I know is important is the
threat of international taxes. Now, the UN and other
international bureaucracies despise the American system
where Congress has to appropriate money to pay our
assessments and pay expenses to these organizations, because
Congress is so uncooperative. So they have looked for years to
find ways to fund international organizations without having
democratically elected representatives make decisions.
Prime Minister Brown of the United Kingdom is proposing an
international bank tax. The French have proposed taxes on
international airline tickets. The whole point is obviously
banks and airlines don't pay taxes, you pay taxes, and you
would on bank transactions and the purchase of these tickets,
it's to get away of funding, whether it's the climate change
