We need a suicide jingle. Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak. It's April 8 2010 times your Gitmo nation
media assassination episode 189. This is no agenda, tracking
crazy cars, iced coffee intake and coming to you from the
hilltop Watchtower crackpot command centre and give our
nation Western the People's Republic of Southern California.
Yay. In the morning, I'm Adam curry.
It's garbage day here in Northern Silicon Valley. I'm
John C. Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
In the morning to you, John. Morning to you. Hey, we
started on time. Almost. No, we missed it by two minutes.
So we're doing pretty good.
I'm like, Yeah, let's see. We can end on time. That would be a
winner.
I don't know, man. There's been a lot of stuff going on is that
we have the the long like one extra day in between shows on
the on the Thursday show. It's just like, ah,
there's so much to hide. You know, luckily, a lot of it is
tied up around Tiger Woods, by the way he's teeing off as we
speak
with him, and you're actually watching that while you're on
the show.
No, I don't care to watch him. I'm gonna watch it at all. And
I'm gonna watch the reruns.
Because you'll know if he won or not. I don't care not worth it.
Yeah, it was. Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff
going on. Well, what do you have in the top of your weirdness
list? Well, the
weirdness list has to be. And maybe I mean, we just tease it.
And then we get into it after we announced our producers. This
all of a sudden, this guy from Council on Foreign Relations,
and then another guy from the United Nations come out and say,
Well, President Karzai of Afghanistan he's he's either a
mince mentally ill, or he's, he's smoking his own destoner.
Like, what?
I said, I saw the same stuff. What can we do to disk just to
get to this guy's not cooperating? Let's make up some
stuff.
The guy is the president of the Council on Foreign Relations
like okay, do me this couldn't be any more obvious that are
setting him up is like, what? It's just not know
what, what did he do wrong? Isn't that I guess he wasn't
playing ball was so I guess he was supposed to be doing
something. He's not doing it. I don't know. We don't know what
that is.
Well, it puts a whole bunch of things into perspective. First
of all, Obama's visit to Afghanistan. They are right on
the heels of that comes comes this news. You want to just so
we just play this, this little clip where where the guy
actually says he's like on drugs? Yeah, play it. Okay, hold
on a second. It was on I think it was on MSNBC. And it was just
the crazies, it was like on a morning show
with nearly 100,000 US forces fighting in Afghanistan, the
president of that country has escalated a war of words blaming
the West and the US specifically for interference. He even
threatened to join the Taliban. In fact,
this is the thing that's kind of interesting. What happened there
just went away. He threatened to join the Taliban.
Yeah. Which by the way, turns out to be completely and totally
bogus. He denies it. And everybody around him says
bullshit.
I know. Although trying to interestingly enough, it's the
Associated Press that came out and said that and now aids to
Karzai denied that he threatened to join the Taliban. But the it
was Associated Press who? And CBS was also all over this. And
everyone jumped on the bandwagon, I guess without
either a sourcing it or just taking the White House memo,
last year's election, so he would lose. Well, he took off
with joins us live this morning from Norway. And sir, let me ask
you what so
this is a former United Nations dude, and he's in Norway for
some a really important reason. So
President Karzai is behind the scenes threatening to join the
Taliban. He just met with President Obama two weeks ago.
Do we think he made that same threat to the president in their
talks?
I'm sure he did not. But these charges at first, they were, you
know, almost amusing. As I think many people know, I was actually
fired by the Secretary General because I wanted to do something
about the fraud in last year's election. And of course, the
fraud was organised by car size appointees, and he was the
beneficiary of it. But this continued tirade raises
questions about his mental stability. And frankly, this has
been something that has been of concern to diplomats in Koblenz.
This is great, isn't it? So this guy was fired by Bunky Moon is
that he was fired by what he says because sounds like so what
Wait a minute. So this is kind of interesting. So he's former
UN he was fired by the UN because he was trying to bring
the frog and Afghanistan to the forefront. And these guys got
some great cover stories. You think they're just sitting there
at night going, Hey, I know how we'll do it. Listen, we'll get
some guy who was fired. So he won't seem like an official, but
then we'll get him to say some really crazy stuff. I mean by
that emotional?
Well, he's he's prone to tirades. He can be very
emotional act impulsively.
In fact, in other words, it's his time of the month,
the sum of the palace insiders say that he has a certain
fondness for some of Afghanistan's most profitable
exports.
Do you think? Do you think he's smoking? These injecting the H?
Is he right in the white horse? Or do you think he's smoking the
Afghan? black tar the Black
Star he's talking about? Tomatoes.
Listen, listen to these MSNBC. Yahoo's like whoa.
Wait a minute. Let's me if you're gonna make that
allegation. Let's be explicit.
So you're saying he's got an issue. He's got his own
substance abuse problem.
They can't even say it. They can't either. Can't even say
Dude, he's smoking dope. That's weird. They have to skirt around
the issue. There are reports Sorry,
what I did did this baffling that they can't just say it
for some reason. Yeah. Because Oh, if you're gonna make those,
they don't want you know, they're like, oh, we can't get
sued. Oh, shit. Where's the Talking Points Memo? What are we
supposed to say here? He's going off script.
So to that effect, but whatever the cause is, the reality is
that he is he can be very emotional. These are things that
are not at all in the interest of Afghanistan.
Maybe Maybe this is part of the the anti marijuana legalisation
lobby John.
It's a stretch, I think so it is.
Alright, so we can talk more about that. First, let's
introduce the executive producer for today's episode of no agenda
today being April 8 2010. This is episode 189.
Yeah, we actually have two executive producers and two
Associate Executive Producers today. Okay. And of Curiously,
the executive producers both gave the exact same amount of
money. Nice. 333 33 Ah, they're
going for the triple play with the magic numbers if you donate
three times $330 $333.33 Then we kick in the extra penny and make
you a night.
Renee shorts. SW er tz from Haarlem, Netherlands.
Ah, Renee donkey? Well,
yes. And he's doing it. But it's not really he's not going to be
the ones executive producer. He's doing it on behalf of Meelo
Lisa de Kamp. Oh, so be named.
So what, though? So? Do I put Rene in here? And I guess I
don't know. Yeah.
And she's a newborn. And he's calling out her parents as being
I guess, you know, I don't know if they're listening to the show
or whatever. Everybody's calling them out as horrible people. I
don't know why. There's no real explanation. He just was trying
to embarrass him by giving me Lou the executive producers at
me lose a newborn? Yeah. Oh, great. So youngest executive
producer, and just as talented as any executive in Hollywood.
And what a career she has ahead of her.
Yeah, that's early start. Yeah.
Yeah, that's better than like a Tiffany byte ring. I mean, let's
be honest about it.
Yeah, I think everybody out there should do this because you
that you actually have these kids. A legitimate item on the
resume that will have people baffled. Like, wow, you started
a business a long time.
This kid will actually grow up to be a world leader and it'll
be a black mark on your resume. Oh, that's always a drawback.
Okay, all right.
David Eichler I see que le AR a Marion, Ohio his wife Jessie's
looking for work as a registered nurse. I figured he needed to
donate to the show. Well, good thinking.
This is an excellent well, actually in Iowa when we talk
about our supporters later on. Yet more examples of the karma
club of donating to to no agenda, so exactly does seem to
work. Okay. Mimi, Lisa, the camp and David Eichler or a clarity
thing
cyclers Eichler eyes and ice Eichler.
Today's executive producers the Associate Executive Producers
are John
Key Bradshaw Statesville North Carolina pretty estate in the
country. tuner dollars in Jonah's Astrium also, this exact
same amount so we have kind of a balancing thing another $200
from a and he's in Finland, Sweden. Excellent. He also says
Happy Birthday to me. I'm not going to play the jingle. No,
you don't have to please don't.
Yeah, you you celebrated. I guess you kind of celebrated on
me.
Yeah. So that's it. Yeah, that's that's our, our our people paid
for today's show.
Okay, thank you very much. Me, Lou, Lisa de Kamp and David
Eichler as our executive producers today Associate
Executive producers, Keith Bradshaw, Jonas Astron. We'd
really appreciate your support, put it on your resume will vouch
for you and go out and do this is this we go out for hit people
in the mouth
shut up. So if, if Renee or me loose parents continue, she
could also be the youngest night. Oh,
that would be interesting about that for
a second, we'd have to make smaller rings.
Well, they can pound them down. I think it shouldn't be able to
lift your hand,
Hey, kid, it's built for growth, you'll grow into it grow into
your knighthood. Now we we really appreciate it. This is a
real credit, as you know, and you as I said you can put on
your resume and also put it in your email signature. A lot of
people doing that. It's fun to see that.
Yeah, we do like seeing that.
And maybe I should just quickly mention a couple of not official
PR associates but people who are doing the work. Drew Larson sent
us a note and said I'm a college student at the University of
Wisconsin Green Bay. I had a very entertaining chance to
promote no agenda at our school. We have a student art gallery
that changes every week. This week, we had a viewer
participation showing which is basically a graffiti wall.
Anyone who stops by can add to I thought it'd be a great
opportunity to slip in no agenda show.com on the wall. When I got
there, someone else has beaten me to it.
All right. Yeah.
I love it. That's awesome.
The agenda show.com showdown.
Yeah, this is good. And then actually Randy Asher, is it no
agenda? stuff.com that he has? I think that's what I'm
questioning. That's his website. He says that he had 16 items
sold and he sent us our cut. And Paul B is still out there in
California, putting stencils up on buildings
rather large. Yeah, just make sure you don't do anything
illegal. No,
please don't. We're gonna see Paul on the news one night and
tell me
a little easier. You know, if Paul, you know, in California,
typically, the way they have laws written most graffiti
writers are under 16. And they can't really do much and they
kind of did really burn out about, you know, when they
turned 17. Because or 60 I guess when they turn 60 Because they
can get arrested and the the penalties are a lot worse. So
the best ones are, that are the ones are actually the most
prolific because they can get away with it are usually 15 year
olds. And,
John, go ahead. Why don't you promote using 15 year olds?
You're on a roll here. This is great. So I
think we should have all the 15 year olds out there because
they're safer. Anyway, yeah, the car that illegal that I did, I'm
just so I didn't I'm sorry. I did it. I didn't mean it.
That that Karzai thing was was really weird. And I think you
know, the guy is clearly go is headed for disaster. And this
guy was educated in the United States. His brother has a whole
chain of restaurants. Yeah, you know,
used to hang out of San Francisco. Yeah,
I mean, the guys that like he was part of the case
he's on he's on speed balls or something. I mean, who knows? I
mean, the guys on drugs, he's gonna He's gonna flip.
But this is all really I mean, it's really is incredibly and
probably doping.
And think about that, too. You got to see a guy in there. Put a
little something in his coffee. I mean,
I know he was a supporter of the Taliban. Back in
the day, I don't remember that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was by
this news to me.
Oh, really? I have the whole history here.
Probably bogus. No, but not not during
our occupation. He was there in the I guess right after the
Russians, and the Mujahideen which of course we know that.
Look, Karzai was CIA. I don't know. Maybe it's the CIA wars
type thing that we should be looking at here. But for what
he's definitely headed for a Oops. My aeroplane exploded in
the air type of event. Oh, yeah.
This is Yeah, no, I don't I've been waiting for that.
And I was watching out
or you accidentally there'll be some ran into a hill or shot
side enemy fire. So oops.
So I'm watching Geraldo tying into this
by the way, hold on. Now we're talking about him dread
ploughing into a or getting shut out of the air. Don't you think
we've already set the public up for that possibility by having
that video floating around with the guy with the RPG Apache
choppers on
to talk about that we definitely have to have a conversation but
before we even get to that, I saw it now Geraldo was on I
think once a week right on like it on the weekend, the weekends.
Yeah. And and I grew up watching Geraldo when he opened out
Capone's vault
you know that was that was just riveting
any any brought up some plates for the Titanic? And it was like
this. He was one of the first kind of brazen, crazy ass
reporters in New York. Yeah, I was in New York at the time. He
was just becoming really like this. This guy. He was an ambush
reporter ambush reporter I remember he got the chair thrown
in his face on a show
that looked like it was rigged. Yeah, of course
it was rigged. So he's in this is over the Easter weekend. He's
in Afghanistan, with with our troops. And he has this
unbelievable game. And he has this pre roll. He has his pre
roll for Walgreens. He has this unbelievable report, which I'm
putting in the show notes. And you have to also see that no
agenda tv.com And the whole thing was just from beginning to
end blew me away. Because it's, it really shows this is on Fox
and Friends. By the way. He was doing a special report. It
really shows what we are doing in Afghanistan. And you know
that I hold I hold very tightly to my theory that we're just
there for the poppy harvest. And this report basically
corroborates it. Isn't this.
Come back a pleasure this morning as Geraldo Rivera
embedded with troops in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
Right now there is a new effort underway by US troops to help
control Afghanistan's opium production, which is a serious
problem in the region.
Yeah, let's go live this morning to the Forward Operating Base in
Marcia where Geraldo is enjoying Easter meal this morning here in
the United States with troops there. Good morning to you all
though. Hi, Dave, Clayton and Alison. Yes, usually meals ready
to eat those pre prepared meals, but it is Easter Sunday
afternoon and they're serving steaks. The Marines are very
excited, they lined up early, they are enjoying a rare treat
in this in this forward operating base where just 48
days ago, here comes the first bit of propaganda or rather
helicopter borne invasion, since Vietnam took place there was
some bitter fighting in the area, come on and champion
brulee.
He brings a chaplain in there's a whole bunch of guys lining up
behind him, which is by the it's completely staged. Because when
they when they have food, they don't eat. It's not the line is
not outside, it's inside a tent so that all outside lining up,
you know, getting their steak. It's just it's completely
staged. And now it's Oh, bring the chaplain in a chaplain,
the chaplain from the first battalion, sixth Marines, as the
guys line up for their steak dinners. They had bitter
fighting just a few 100 metres from here. Are you know, they
used to say in previous wars, there are no such thing as an
atheist.
What's that in English? I don't know, a few 100 metres.
Oh, yeah. You know, the funny thing is a few 100 metres means
that these guys can fire a rocket right into that line. If
it gets better.
You will not believe
in a foxhole. Is that true? Yes, it is true. Very true. So tell
me how the young marines what they say to you, especially on a
day like today.
They're just thankful to be here thankful to be alive, you know,
thankful that they've been protected through all of this.
And they've been through a lot. And they're just happy to still
be here ready to go home and see their families
and you have a service and one of the 10 said 20 100? Yes, sir.
Chaplin. Thank you and happy Easter. Thank you
totally useless information. Okay. So now none of them are in
combat gear. You're absolutely right, a few 100 metres away. So
anything could be lobbed into this thing at any time. But
they're all calm. They're lining up for their meal. Now that's
sorry.
100 metres is it's 300 feet. So 600 feet, which you could some
people could throw a ball that far. Exactly. Guys, are they
just had a fight? They're in 300 You know, 600 feet away and
they're eating
nothing at all. Okay, now wait, it gets better.
The Taliban has gone to the shadows. Yes. They're still
attacking sniping and setting off those improvised explosive
devices.
Yeah, they're attacking their sniping. No, no, they're not.
We're all having a nice easter meal.
That these gigantic are Reen armoured vehicles prevent
protect the guys against. But you have to know that the main
fight right now is an anti drug fight. It's a Counter Narcotics
fight.
Okay, you're hearing this right? It's a it's a Counter Narcotics
fight just so you know, forget Osama bin Laden now it's a
counter or narcotics fight,
it's to get the poppies that grow in such abundance here that
are fueling the Taliban insurgency. And if you want to
see exactly how close the vast fields of poppy the opium poppy
are, just take a look at this. Just to give you an idea of how
pervasive it is, and how daunting the task of eradicating
the opium around here, I want to show you how prevalent it is
just in the shadow of the United States forces here to try to
wean the population off this addictive drug.
What does that mean? Like they're, they're not all stoned,
they're growing it dude to wean the population off this
addictive narcotic. So he's walking over to a gate inside
the camp to follow me
into this compound, just scant feet away, open the old door,
the door that has huge doors for quite a while. And what you see
is a wonderland of opium.
There's like a like a poppy field for as far as you can see,
right outside the gate they are protecting the poppies do
as far as the eye can say that Opium is what fuels the Taliban
insurgency. There are a lot like the FARC, the FARC rebels in
Colombia, whatever the Taliban started as right now, they are
narco traffickers. And they are fueling their death and
destruction with money from those opium poppies that feed
heroin addicts in the four corners of the globe. So I
Easter Sunday, maybe that sombre note, let me go back to you guys
in New York.
So the camp is literally it's, it's on the ditch. There's a
ditch, and then there's these poppy fields. And they're not
It's not like they're burning him. Now. The guys are just
waiting, because they're waiting for I guess, the Taliban to say
we're ready. And then to go pick them up and put them in the
plane and fly him out.
It's fine. We never had any trouble using Agent Orange in
Vietnam just to knock out some foliage. They can just dive bomb
these fields with a bunch of plant killers. And that would be
the end of it. It's uh oh, wait, I that'd be the end of it. They
actually wanted to tam Yes.
If they so it's so it's it's so confusing. And then so I run
across one other story which confused me even more because
I'm looking at these at these troops you know, they're they're
in line now granted this the Forward Operating Base. You
know, we've talked a lot about their being in Iraq at least
when I was there. They had Burger King Pizza Hut, you know
all kinds of fast food chains. And now the WHO WAS IT commander
Sergeant Major Michael Hall, wrote in a blog post. Quote,
supplying non essential luxuries to big bases like ba ROM and
Kandahar makes it harder to get essential items to combat
outposts and forward operating bases where troops who are in
the fight each day need resupply with ammunition food and water.
He goes on to say you know we're in a war here now. In this
article they casually mentioned the following chains. I would
have to say American fast food chains that are in Afghanistan
operating and serving for our troops Pizza Hut. TGI Fridays
Burger King Dairy Queen is not Orange Julius and
that Orange Julius was out of business that's interesting.
No or warning that concessions like Orange Julius Dairy Queen
and military car sales were also on the exit list. Paul said less
obvious changes were coming to including fewer canned and
bottled goods coming into the country. What is going on over
there? I mean, is this not war mongering? I mean, our troops
they need a they need a healthy meal. They don't need Burger
King and orange
Julian the war profiteering now warmongering Oh
yeah. profiteering I'm sorry. Yeah. profiteering. It's not
these are big government contracts, I
think is McDonald's is never one of the companies that does this.
I find that peculiarities
Interesting. Well, Pizza Hut and Burger King have the same
company I think, aren't they?
No, I don't think so. Really? I thought they were whatever the
case is. Pizza Hut is everywhere in these places. So do you think
they serve Coke or Pepsi? I'm sure it can say in the article.
No, no, no, he taught me. Coke. More than Pepsi can be
both Well, you never know Oh, you never know. Anyway, just
like what I did. I
think we I think that finding the story to be just
distressing, it's just we should we should just stop Afghanistan
covered on our show. It's the same thing. It's just ludicrous.
Well, we it's hard to stop the coverage. Because it's so it's
so you know, it makes the lie even easier. We can as someone's
got to be saying it.
Well, all I know is that it's just ridiculous.
Well, so we have we have that. That video, which of course,
propagated very, very quickly that WikiLeaks had been teasing
for a few weeks, they had decrypted the video and there
was supposed to be a big cover up. And here we are, in 2007,
Apache helicopter gunships murdered, quote, murdered 12 to
15 civilians, and everyone has a take on this. Oh, yeah. And, and
I'm very confused
of this to some confusing aspects to it. What you will
first of all,
you know, who says it's real, just because the State
Department or the Department of Defence says, oh, yeah, that's a
real video. I mean, it could be anything. You know, to me, it
just feels like there's a reason that this is coming out and i
Deep in my heart, I'm starting to doubt WikiLeaks.
Well, you know, that will of course, your This isn't could be
disinformation. But there is a story going around WikiLeaks as
a front for the CIA. And of course, we have one of our
themes of our show is that there's a CIA war between
different groups with either within the agency or with with
other agencies or with the Obama administration, we don't know
and we'll never figure it out. We can just speculate. And if
that was the case, though, they had any connection, this video
and all the transcription all the radio traffic chatter was,
could have been planted for some embarrassing reason not sure.
But I also maybe just to put a meme in this in the because you
know, the essay is being analysed to death by the
Internet. You know, there's apparently some guy that looks
like he's got some huge weapon with him that he stands it up at
one point and he kind of peaks around the corner and points it
at the chopper and then you see a little light if you catch the
frame, you see a little bit of a light that coming off the device
which which I was thinks is an RPG thing that takes down to
these planes. Which would to me if that finally gets to be the
main meme to come out of this thing then they're going to use
that to make the the to make it sound as though that these
devices are all over the place. And then when Karzai is playing
gets blown up it's going to be because of this that means we
gotta we need more troops or we need we got to do something
about it. And the problem I have with with it when the guy comes
around the corner with the RPG and pointed at the chopper
clearly he sees the chopper he's playing but nobody else seems to
see these things.
Well, yeah, you know, the chopper is and I was talking
with a couple of service personnel over email and a
couple of pilots and so we're trying to figure it out. You
know, essentially if you look at if you if you evaluate the time
between shots fired that you hear on the video and the impact
it's a couple seconds.
So we estimate the is two seconds. I've timed it. Yeah, so
we
estimate the helicopter must be at about 5000 feet. You can be
pretty quiet at 5000 feet or can be just another speck in the
sky. I mean, that's pretty high up. But you know, but the
conversation is like wow, why don't we show some of those dead
troops coming in? You know, that would be more shocking to people
that you don't see that know what they know what's going
after those photos of the coffins draped in the American
flag that you don't see that anymore that's been banned
effectively by the Ministry of Truth. And I was like, what what
do you expect? I mean, the way I read the story is there was a
the helicopter was covering a Bradley which was probably 100
metres down the road that's 300 feet in English. And and then
there's this view of the RPG I mean, there's there's so many
different sides to it, but it's like Don't you understand the
basic premise of voicing girls throwing hot lead at each other
in the desert is kind of stupid to start with. I mean, doesn't
doesn't anyone like see that? Okay, this is what it is. What
is the point? You know, oh, they're laughing Well, dude, why
don't you go sit in the desert for for for tours. And you know,
and see your buddies blowing up and getting shot at see if you
laugh if if you score.
Yeah, well, there's that element and we don't even know how much
of this chatter is accurate it could be completely sweet other
all we know I don't know it was awful lot of traffic I mean we
had you know two words I think I had a Lister I wrote down of all
these different monikers they had Bushwackers eight which
Wagar nine which record seven, which I assume are the choppers
because it would be you know Bushwacker get it, you know,
looks like a weed chopper. And then they had a bunch of other
hotel and all kinds of other monitors there was about 10 or
12 people on the channel talking about this and different people
giving orders to shoot and other guys demanding to shoot and I
couldn't really tell which are the I didn't analyse enough to
figure out which of the choppers monikers was doing the shooting.
But it's beside the point the whole thing it says a sketchy
perhaps planted video and I still think it might be to put
create the idea in people's minds that plants can be shot
down with RPGs and a very dangerous and then if something
happens in the next few weeks, regarding one of them, we will
already know what they are. Yeah,
I don't think an RPG will be very effective. It's 5000 feet
known. Right? That's the other thing. Yeah, so the whole thing
I think was just introduced the RPG it'd be very effective of an
aeroplane that's taking off or it's in a final approach or
something like that. I
think and then there's the the press angle, you know of the
Reuters.
You know, and this also looked more like a video from a drone
to me,
Neff? Well, I had those thoughts as well. But it pretty much you
don't know. You just don't know. But the whole thing you know, an
NPR had the Wiki Leaks guys on I put that I actually already put
that in the show notes. And if they're
at 5000 feet, how did they get, you know, they were there
manoeuvring around the building is kind of sketchy. But I think
they just moved the boom, their rallies behind the building now.
And then the angle of the thing at the building. I don't know,
the whole thing is, is just as you know, it needs more
explanation. We need somebody to deconstruct that video. No
one's doing that. I mean, that's the whole problem is all we have
is just a huge conversation. It's pro war, anti war. You
know, I read the comments at the borak.org. And he's like 150
comments. And it's all just the same thing. But no one's really
even questioning why this? Why this is out? WikiLeaks? Oh, we
have to trust them immediately. I'm sorry, I don't, I just
don't.
Yeah, can't trust anybody.
They put a lot of interesting stuff out. But you just they
really tease this that was really built up. And then where
they had people sort of, well, we didn't even talk about it on
the show. No, people were you know, they were being tailed.
And I don't know, man, it just it who's being tailed? The
Wikileaks, guys,
who are they? Nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow,
they don't even know where the servers are, this whole thing is
very much of a spooky kind of operation. I tend to agree with,
with the theory that it's, you know, they say, Well, you we
can't shut down WikiLeaks and Wikileaks has got this, you
know, this crazy network where they can, you know, be out there
because they're running, I guess there's some massively amazing
black hats or somebody that know how to keep these things, from
you know, how to hide the server and the giant web of internet's
and, you know, I don't believe for a minute that the NSA or the
CIA, either one of them, or military intelligence, for that
matter, if they spent like, you know, 30 days with a team of
people couldn't track these guys down, and go in there and shut
down the main server and, you know, and kill all the people do
our thing, if we're not buying it now.
I mean, either if WikiLeaks was a problem, it would be gone it
would be gone. It's that simple. You know, these guys put two to
the heads everybody whenever they want to whatever whenever
they really get really get close. It's you know, it's over.
And now but they can take wiki leaks out and the way they they
talk about it in this NPR interview is well, you know,
because we really have an impeccable reputation and that's
the thing the government can take down Well, I'm just not
buying it. I don't want to disparage anybody without any
proof. We do
like WikiLeaks is not great stuff
absolutely
great stuff. But it's just you know, there is an element of
screw Enos to the fact that they can exist I mean, the guy you
know, there are network and I mean, the thing is, this does
have to go through the networks and the networks or you know,
people still think well you can't take down the internet you
know, you shut down in the United States you shut down AT
and T and Comcast and all the peering they do. Yeah, you got
nothing because there's not enough peering anymore. There's
no you know, nobody uses the main the old fashioned internet
that runs through me east and Mae West because it's too
expensive. You have to pay for For for a carriage buyers Yeah.
And so everybody's P Are they appeared with all these
different little guys, they did deals, I have a thing up here
with you bear with me I, you know, ends up getting out there.
And then when the big pipe start buying everything up. So there's
not that many small ISPs anymore. There's probably you
know, there's still lots but there's not as many as there
used to be banned. And the network's not designed, like it
was originally where it was supposed to be bomb proof.
I got to disagree with that. I mean, that's it's gone
down a number of times it portions of
it, but the whole net never really goes down. It's just
because of these, you know, it's, it's to the end user that
we have these huge, you know, like Comcast or Time Warner or
at&t, it used to be all these little ISPs. And, and
that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Okay. Should is a remnant of the
thing left, if you took out those big guys that you take out
the top 10 by ISPs, just take them out, just tell them to shut
down,
then we're out, then we're gone. Yeah, then we're gone. Now that
well, so the United Kingdom is, is doing exactly that, except
they're not doing it through a technical manner. But they just
blasted through the this bill. You know, they're there. They're
gearing up for an election. And they had the digital economy
bill, which I think we even talked about a couple of years
ago. And it was up for comment in in Gitmo nation East. And so
40 guys showed up the other day 40 of the 646 ministers of
Parliament, and they passed the bill. They must have locked the
doors like don't come in. Well, busy here. We've got the bandana
on the door, please go away. And so this is the this is the bill
that allows the government to basically cut you off from the
internet altogether. We don't Let's not mess with the
backbone. Let's just chop you off. And then of course, if
you're downloading copyrighted material, and there were huge
advertisements in the newspapers from the creative industry,
because that's what this is being billed as the creative
industry is losing jobs and money because of people stealing
music and movies. The creative industry. What do we get out of
London, England when we get Harry Potter movies?
No, they're produced in the US, aren't they? No, I
think they're produced
by James Bond. I think he's got to Oh, yeah, we
can't live without that. Now, we need more pop idol crap from
Simon Cowell. So they actually they'll send you a
little bit and they're starving to death these people. Yeah.
We'll send you a letter the starving to death because of the
piracy. Yeah,
yeah, they got this they got no
money. They don't know what to do.
So they've RAM this through it is now law. And by the way, this
is something that happens apparently quite often right
before an election, they pass a whole bunch of stuff, because
it's the passing of the baton essentially. So we know that
David Cameron will be the next Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom and he's J he's just the other side of the of the same
team. Now he's just he's on the caboose and now and that will be
pulled up front and it's going to be exactly the same thing.
Nothing will change and they pass all these laws
was a better looking guy.
And they had to get brown out because of the Gold Scandal they
have to create some noise about that. So anyway, sorry about you
Gitmo nation East I will do my my appeal again to all sis
admins and network admins of the world we better start getting
our mesh network plans together we're going to need it because
they are going to they are going to take it down What do you
think John? I think we got five years you and
I you know the game Obama's you know I guess he finally passed
that thing where he can pull the plug on the whole thing in a
national emergency Oh yeah, there should also be a health
emergency by the way was based on the treaties and then the
bill that was passed and all the rest of it. So everybody needs
to get a flu shot for example and shut down the internet
not taking your flu shot. Oh, okay. Watch this. You flew a
slave take your flu shot or we're gonna we're gonna unplug
your iPad watch people go. Oh, no, not the iPad. Also in the in
the health care bill right along those lines. Section 203 B of
the health care bill. States all individuals classified as
officers in the reserve corps under this section shall be
deemed to be commissioned officers of the regular Corps.
And then in C to be we have the Ready Reserve Corps shall be
available and ready for involuntary calls to active duty
during national emergencies and public health crises. Similar to
the uniformed service reserve personnel So there's your
there's your troops on the streets.
Yeah, absolutely. They need troops on the streets sounds got
to be done this, this this unruly American public,
not not taking their flu shot. Which is I'm really loving the
now people are like, hey, this healthcare thing that's not
like, where? Where's it? Where is it? Where it's not helping
any, and they're trying to explain it go to health
reform.gov This is This is fantastic. So there's this
website because people are calling up and saying, hey,
where do I get my free health care? Should they be completely
misinformed is the fact there's a great article, and it's one of
the only articles actually health care. Health reform.gov
So I'll read this article, we're bringing that up. Two weeks
after President Barack Obama signed the big health care
overhaul and law, Americans are struggling to understand how and
when the sweeping measures will affect them. Questions
reflecting confusion of flooded insurance companies, doctors
offices, human resource departments of business groups,
they're saying, quote, where do we get the free Obamacare? How
do I sign up for that? And so President Obama is out trying to
explain it to everybody. And look at this website, tell me
anywhere on this website, how anyone and I'm reasonably
intelligent, I don't get it. isn't answering anything,
do anything? Well, I'll let me click on California because
there's a big map. Big map. Highlights. Okay, we're gonna
California to get health insurance and reform, under
reform in California. It's,
here's how you'll benefit but it doesn't say sign up.
There's nothing to sign up for.
And it doesn't say when, of course, most of this doesn't
kick in until 2014. Is the first line we have had we done
nothing. By 2019, the number of uninsured people would have
grown by more than 30%. All right, so I just want to sign up
about do I click on About No, the past that it tells me all
the stuff that's coming that's coming, that's coming timeline
and events? Maybe they're No, it's completely, you can't
understand it. There is nowhere does it say if you are 62.
Now, you made your point, it's useless. It's just totally
useless. It's a complete waste of money. It probably cost $8
million to implement his website.
And now our friend Mr. Volker, Paul Volcker, who has pretty
much become the head honcho of the of the President's economic
team. He's saying, Well, you know what, we may just have to
raise taxes.
Really? Hmm. I would have never expected that
here. This is from Reuters. Volker answering a question from
the audience at a New York Historical Society event which
by the way, these are great events to attend said Value
Added Tax is not a toxic and AI is not as toxic and idea as it
has been in the past.
You know, we called Value Added Tax on was two years ago on the
show and also
said a carbon or other energy related tax may become
necessary. Though he acknowledged that both are still
no matter
what the public thinks about anything, screw them. We're
going to do this stuff. That was the way we were trying to do it
by going through the normal process, but everybody didn't
like it. So we're just gonna do it anyway. To quote
Paul Volcker if at the end of the day we need to raise taxes,
we should raise taxes.
There you go. Now they got the right man for the job. Let's
play some clips.
Yeah, good. I'd like that. What you got?
Well, to go to we're gonna do some real news here. Oh, okay.
I'm a little slow on the ball.
John, who was the chair that new controller that giant iPad?
Yes, right. So I had two WTF clips. The first one which has
just in it, you should play because I'm, I'm just turning
around the challenge. And then I hear this suddenly and wonder
what could it be
for the record he was giving us those fist pumps back in the mid
90s When he was winning, winning USA amateur tournaments. Three
in a row. And he was still that you forgot. I agree, Robert. I
guess what
would you play? You play explain. I'm sorry. He was given
us those pumps back in the mid 90s.
I'm sorry, they came in the wrong order. I understand. It's
about Tiger woods. Yeah, well, it's the whole thing this is
this was the big thing about Tiger Woods is that he pumps his
fist. And that was like a new thing on the golf course, is
pumping his fist I'm sorry, let's let's focus
do by the way, the golfers have been doing stuff like that
they've been doing that WG the, the more horizontal pump. A lot
of them did that deal.
Boom, boom. And then you had Ballesteros who would shove his
putter like a sword into his into his grandstanding going on
forever. Except,
yeah, because the game is so boring and stupid, that you got
to do something to get a little exercise. I mean, in the olden
days, when you walked a course, that was like, You got to you
got a day you're out on the on the links, you're walking
around. Now they're in little carts, you know,
they they walk, I was I was watching Woods doing his, his
his little speech there and the guys had a lot of medical
problems, like towards Achilles heel, like they have to re
inject plasma into his leg and his knee and like, a dangerous
sport does go. It
will do when you put yourself all into it, apparently, you
know, it's stressful.
Yeah. It's supposed to be good for you.
In basketball safer, it's
really not it's really not okay.
So, I was noticing something interesting. I was I was looking
for some clips and I decided to go through all the, you know,
Access Hollywood Extra Extra, and all the other shows. Yeah,
and I realised and I got the teaser up here. I realised that
if you anybody who should watch these shows either extra Access
Hollywood that there's two or three others. There, the whole
show is teasers. They never do any.
I've never actually show you anything. I know. All your
latest teaser from actors Hollywood extra.
She was there when Lindsay was in rehab. She's now engaged to
Lizzie's father what she revealed to us about lone family
fallout. I can honestly say then I'd probably done it. Before
didn't vote I needed it. Last week we continues with our Dolly
Parton exclusive live plus our exclusive look at the same sex
marriage movie breaking down barriers tomorrow on Access
Hollywood now number one coast to coast. All right, coming up
next we are out on a date with Tina Fey and Steve Carell later
the big plastic surgery revealed at least a guest knows procedure
turned into a nightmare I'm slowly and I'm not perfect and
today's ah nation
has Tiger and Jessie go head to head and alleged affairs and
you're sounding off It's all coming up.
Get social with your entertainment news. Check out
the all new gadget I
gotta have the whole thing now. My grant I need the full pain of
it was like a two minutes and it was it was teasing and then the
teasing the teasing is unbelievable. And then when they
do the little little packages they're stirred like little
shortest in the teases are. It's hilarious.
I know and now that everyone's on recess, even C span is
boring. Except Rupert Murdoch was on C span last night in an
interview that was kind of interesting Biggs lion sack of
shit. But there's really there's there's no news at all. And so
it's all of this and then CNN. They started out you know, boom,
Jesse James boom, Tiger Woods. Boom. Lindsay Lohan is like what
were naming names.
What and Now luckily, oh, a joy Bay heart. You know, I cooked
the chicken the other night. I know I did one of these three
hour chickens. I'm really getting into it. And I'm like a
Hausfrau here and I'm watching I'm watching HLN headline news,
which apparently Joy Bay horrors headline news. And and it's all
about Jesse James being a Nazi. And it was weird because you're
Jewish. And you know, and so it's a very uncomfortable
conversation, where they move from the guys collecting Nazi
regalia to he's a Nazi. And it's just like, Wow, man, this is
really deep stuff that's happening here is really not
okay.
So we have a guy covered with tattoos who's a motorcycle
character. And he is a Nazi, huh?
He's not a Nazi. It's bullshit. I
know. You must be.
He's not he's not a Nazi. This is just like
I guess I won't I guess I've done the tech hippie in the
Oregon the Nazi is exactly what you need to do. To build by the
iPad. Yes. Now it will happen immediately. You won't do it.
And then last night newsflash. Oh Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper.
Oh, stop. Oh, we have a shoe bomber.
Yeah, here's a glass out of control story.
You know, well, there's a lot of things to this story that I
found interesting one, it is a diplomat from Qatar. Which is
kind of bizarre or Qatar. Yeah, I like to say Qatar, but I guess
it's Qatar. So first of all, he has diplomatic immunity, so he
can basically do anything he wants. Okay. Now, what do we
what have we learned from the story, we've learned that there
was an Air Marshal onboard if it's true, so that's interesting
little messaging right there. We have air marshals who jump on
this guy. It was probably you know, he probably took a huge
shit in the toilet, and it lit a match. That's probably what
happened. He was like, Oh, I don't want it to smell up the
plane. And then I'll say, Oh, he's lighting his shoe on fire.
But he was also on a flight from DC to Denver, which as we know,
is the new New World Order headquarters. The CIA has their
new big, beautiful offices there. And there's all kinds of
interesting government buildings popping out of nowhere. So there
was a lot of interesting stuff in this story. And I immediately
start scanning the channels for what is the something's
happening somewhere else we got? Oh, we got to find it. Where is
it? Because you know, something else is going on when they do
this.
Yeah, you will you find
nothing. No, I'm sorry. There's nothing I found nothing.
Well, that must have been really buried.
I was a little bit pissed off, although in a weird way is wrong
of me to be to be pissed off, because I wanted to say on this
very show, and people may not believe it. But I wanted to say,
next earthquake, Indonesia. And lo and behold, we get an
earthquake in Indonesia today. Yeah. Your rationale. Oh, a Oh,
dude. Well, first of all, others Jude dude, do do do. China,
Indonesia and China. There's like they are so embed together.
And this was one of the main reasons Obama met, he was
supposed to go to Indonesia on vacation. And then all of a
sudden, like, oh, I can't go because we've got to pass the
health care bill, which is bull, of course. So he didn't go
because they were probably they someone had their finger on the
switch. Like I you might not want to go right now. But he was
supposed to go to say, Hey, could you please stop messing
around with China so much, you're supposed to be with us.
Now. Also. He was probably really pissed off. They moved
the that statue of his, you know, they put up a statue of
Obama as a kid as a boy. And they moved it out of a public
place and like a schoolyard or something
where they put it where the kids are peeing on it or something?
I don't know. And maybe they you know, there's also this little
sidetrack of maybe he likes to tell them hey, you better shut
up about me being not being American. No,
yeah, that could be that
number. The big thing is China. Indonesia is, has increased its
trade. And also its defence ties with Indonesia in China.
Indonesia has increased it with China. So we have the Special
Forces process. And I have all these links, by the way in the
show notes of no agenda show.com. They've got all kinds
of strategic partnerships. It's China. And this was exactly the
same thing with Chile. They were China. I'm telling you, this
there's there's a you know that you know, they speak of the
great gain, right, the great game and all the big players are
in it. And it's Russia, America and China. This is what's going
on with all the stands. What by the way, curvy, Stan is it
Kurdistan, to no one can pronounce these, this why that
number in the news. It's Kyrgyzstan. Russia is now going
in there. And you know, there's There's blood all over the
streets in Kyrgyzstan because they don't want China to grab
hold of them. And America, of course really controls all of
these stands with all the colour revolutions. So the only one
America really still controls is Georgia. And it's because of all
the oil pipelines and all of the resources and China is bad news
right now for us. Not that I care.
You should care. You should care deeply.
I don't care. I really don't. They're already we already know
that they're infiltrating us. You just don't see it.
Okay. Like I say earthquake says anticlimactic the earthquake
since you didn't make the prediction in time.
Well, I'm going to make another prediction on Sunday. So yeah,
in a way, it's a it's anticlimactic. I find the
funniest thing was that Deepak Chopra claimed credit for the
earthquake.
What? Yeah, I missed that one. Yeah, he twittered.
Oh, I'm bringing up his Twitter right now. He says, where's it?
Hold on. He's, I think he is Deepak Chopra on Twitter. Here
it is, had a powerful meditation just now caused an earthquake in
Southern California. And then, so that was the one in Baja. And
then was meditating on Shiva mantra and Earth began to shake.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, this is not Deepak Chopra. I don't even think he can use
your computer. And
I think it is. I think he's verified.
It's not verified. It's a verified Twitter.
Yeah, I think.
So I think he's a weird character. Anyway, he doesn't
believe anybody actually exists, guys. So before we get to the
one hour mark, I got to I got some bank stuff. There was a
interesting piece that was done on PBS Sunday News Hour, which
is underwritten by everybody and their sister. And it was about a
trend going on around the country. And I think they're
trying to kill the trend, about how community bank smaller
little banks, like the ones we use, exclusively as a matter of
fact,
yes. I, if I need to bank I need to go to San Francisco, because
that bank is not represented in Southern California.
Right. But I will tell you, I find a similar bank down there
when I liked them. And I call them up and they know me by
name. They'll do anything over the phone for me. It's like, oh,
you know, they call me up, say, Hey, your daughter, because of
course, my daughter, I opened an account for her there, she's
overdrawn. But they're really nice you and they call you up
about stuff, they just they give a shit about me. And they didn't
make any TARP money.
And they know they brag about not taking TARP money. They The
funny thing is one of the things I like about them is that I can
use my ATM card anywhere. And when it says at the end of the
day, I go to Wells Fargo put the card and take out a couple $100
and says, For this project, you have retailers dollars. Yeah, do
you might do you accept a fee? Yes,
we're using so much energy on this transaction.
And by the way they should be giving you $3 Because the whole
idea of ATMs was to save them money on tellers. Yeah, those
those guys, they anyone who charges you if your bank is
charging you 10 cents, or anybody else 10 cents to do one
of these transactions with a teller you're getting ripped off
anyway. So the show the bank we use which I'm going to tell you
who they are. And because they are in the San Francisco Bay
Area, and I recommend them. It's the mechanics bank. They've been
around since the 20s.
Basically, the bootleggers use them. Well,
somebody one of the Yeah, they were actually where they're
looking at as possible. But anyway, they give you the
today's the mechanics bank, as you know that I guess all these
banks, they don't have to, you know, accept the charge. And so
they pull his charges off. Yeah, they paid the $3. I say, Yeah,
sure. Here's your $3. Never, they never get paid to $3. Yeah.
So anyway, so
community banks, good idea, which I think it is a good idea,
you know, because it makes sense to have a small bank in your
community, who you can go to, by the way, they're always saying,
if you need a loan, we really can give you a loan. You know,
if you guys need a business loan for no agenda, I'm like, I don't
think so. It's not a good idea. We're not very credit worthy,
but they'll give it to us. If we wanted it,
we probably could get a business loan now. So let's play the
community bank one long, which is the is um, that you got to
play the whole thing or break it up a little bit. But they
they're doing a story on his bank out in the middle of us in
the East Coast someplace. I can't think of the name offhand.
But they mentioned it over and over again. And they tried to
and the guy who was doing the report is incredulous that these
this bank is so involved in the community that they know who
their customers are. And then they have all these goods and
services. And so they go through there. So the guy to to
counterbalance the report, he talks to the head of Mellon bank
in New York, who's a big bank and they then the big bank guy
who's just as stooge goes on and on about how much more you get
from the big bank and how better the service is, by the way, the
big banks Screw you, they screw the customer, their services are
no good. They're cheap. They charge you for every little
thing they can. The prices aren't right or overpriced. It's
a rip off, but listen to this character.
Most of our employees work and live here in the community so
their families can take part and use this as well.
It was getting a little sweet for a jaded journalist. But
fortunately I'm
Hold on a second. This is the PBS MacNeill what does it make
layer he was
just a news hour. That's not used to be the MacNeil Lehrer
report. Okay, now it's just the news. It says it's getting
sweet. In other words, there are so many people complimenting
this guy in his base throwing
up. Yeah, I'm so sick of this. I'm supposed to be shilling.
What's the wrong
move in various circles? So I asked a really big banker, why
shouldn't I move my money?
If you think you get other products and services that are
superior to a large bank, then go for it. Robert Kelland, CEO
of Bank of New York Mellon, who suggests thinking back just 25
years,
we had 20,000 banks in this country. Now we have 8000 banks,
and my guess is 10 years from now we'll have 5000 banks or
4000. Banks, it's good to have lots of competition. But the
reality also is, is that bigger banks offer generally, better
products and services at generally really competitive
prices.
I just got to stop for a second because what happened 25 years
ago is there was a regulation change, where banks were the
small banks, you had a bank everywhere were allowed to do
interstate commerce. And this was before the internet really,
before you know, it was prevalent. And you know, if you
needed to send your kid some money in college, it was very
difficult. And the reason why people jumped on board of these
banks or these big national banks, so you could do that. It
was like the interstate commerce aspect. Because now we take it
for granted how easy it is to pay pal someone some money, etc.
Or just give them some cash. This is probably Western Union
was all
you had no, the big the big, big banks felt the real that wasn't
the reason they did this, of course, because that's
the reason. That's the reason why big banks became popular for
the common man, I believe.
Well, it's possible, but I don't know. But that the thing is the
big big banks, Citibank, and all these Bank of America have in
particular, a couple of big Whoppers. They were kicking ass
all over the world. But they foresaw the day when the big
giant like the National Bank of Germany, and all these big
giant, huge banks that were bigger than they were, were
going to beat them and international commerce and
economic hitman stuff. So they said, Well, we get this this
ball that we can we can only have branches in California said
the Bank of America, which was a California based bank, we would
want branches, why can't we have a branch in Nevada is right next
door. And so they passed this law saying, Okay, you're gonna
this is one of the things that caused this recent depression by
the way. They said, Okay, you guys can have bad you can do
whatever you want. So that was what instead of actually opening
branches elsewhere, they just started buying up these little
bags like crazy, you know, with offers, they couldn't refuse,
they got too big to fail. And so now that's the reason that
things consolidated, it wouldn't have obviously, if the
government hadn't changed these regulations, then there was a
good reason for and the reason is what you just saw with the
economy collapsing for not having banks all over the place,
you know, national banks competing with each other,
because it's going to be just like, it's just like at&t, once
you let them give them free rein this are buying up all the
little companies and there's just one big giant company and
the way the banks are gonna go, this guy's dead on it's gonna be
less and less and less these little banks as they all get
bought out or squeezed. I mean, their mechanics make it we're
talking about here in California, I've talked to them
about what you're gonna do when you're gonna sell out like
everybody else. They say that never will never will, but they
can be squeezed out. And that's what happens when these other
banks get really big. But the fact that this guy just lying to
through his teeth, about the better goods and services and
competitive prices, is just enough to make your just take
all your money out of these big banks, John Cena for X day, back
to
the end, the longer term trend will be fewer smaller banks in
the nation for that reason.
And as Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman reminded us
recently small is not necessarily beautiful,
that's possible of a banking crisis. Even without too big to
fail, you can you know, it was a lot of small banks that collapse
the financial system in the 1930s.
Indeed, 140 banks failed in the past year with another 702. Just
added to the FDIC ease problem list. Moreover, says Robert
Kelly,
we also have a gigantic economy, which you can't run with a lot
of really small banks can eat big, successful, sophisticated,
profitable banks, but the Village Bank is profitable.
What? That part of it profitable.
I do want to mention that the FDIC now is trying to convince
pension funds, right so the people who hold your pension
money to invest in in new financial products that will be
made available to the government to bail out banks that fail just
to you know, screw your pension, you ain't ever gonna get it.
It's gone. kiss it goodbye.
Is a $600 million businesses CEO Brennan big enough to offer
almost anything I'd need. Size does matter. But you don't need
to be a large institution in order to
be a community bank. Okay, good as a financial institution
today, how often do you use your ATM? Are you a local ATM user?
Do you travel a lot?
Yeah, I use my ATM a lot and I travel a lot no problem says the
village banks clear Messina. Yes, but how about new
technology? At my big bank, I can deposit a cheque and it
takes a picture of the cheque and then gives me the deposit
slip with the picture. So I feel as if I've
I get the same thing from mechanics bank they got pictures
of my checks on on their website.
Yeah, well, I mean it apparently Village Bank doesn't so he's got
it's got leverage. I don't need a picture of my check. Anyway,
we can stop playing this clip and go to the kicker which is
his wrap up of the whole idea of taking your money out of a big
bank and giving it to a little bank where it's where you get
was really good customer service and better services and all the
rest of it. And the way he does it he kind of he kicked sand on
the idea at the very end by saying it's kind of a nostalgic
thing and then they go to the den layer comes out and layer
gives it to you with the with the real reason that this piece
ran in the first place and this is the reason we ask people for
donations but play and you beg
at the Village Bank also Yeah, and you guys do too as well. for
over 40 years this is beginning to seem like a complete put up
job I mean really is is like ridiculous you know nobody's
gonna believe this watching this on camera. You don't believe
right? No one's gonna believe this that people love their
community bank
apparently
okay
no I believe it and I but literally everywhere we go isn't
it? I mean if he's ringers What have you done here? I've no no
no ringers these are just our customers. And so that's the
case for moving your money to a community bank. The case against
that it's a futile if feel good effort to turn back the clock.
Okay,
so he's saying that these community banks are a futile
effort. It's all nostalgia you just want to turn back the clock
You're not participating in progress for progress moving
forward in America is that what I'm hearing
Exactly Okay, let's
continue we'll see. We'll see we'll see sleeves
while the record one of the banks Paul mentioned in his
report Bank of America is a news our underwriter
Mr honest about it
they felt they had to it was a report was just they couldn't do
it without saying that oh my god getting called out if that
happened. Call out anyways. bogus. There you go.
There you go. So Bank of America underwrites this show and they
do a show with it where it can't believe that this is this
backwards. This completely antiquated this strategic idea
of community banks Oh, that's so wrong. You need to go with Bank
of America because they're our underwriter. You're right John,
this I'm so happy you brought this up. This is exactly why we
don't have commercials now. We do believe in value for value.
And we need to get paid for doing the show. We spend a lot
of time doing it. And quite honestly, I'm not really you
know, I think we've gotten to a point where you know, people are
saying oh, I'll do your website and I really appreciate it. I
appreciate everyone trying to poke us up and help us out. No,
we would we need support in the form of money because that's
what we need to pay bills with.
Okay, here we go. We do have some we did get some support
this week. And I want to name some names. Steven Schnabel from
Gosport, Hampshire, UK gave us one one. Now, I believe we he
says he's given it in recognition of the fine work
contributed by Jeff Smith.
Oh, that's beautiful. I think we skipped Matthew Wittering on.
Bachelor Wittering is next on my list. Yeah, he said he was from
lashes and last week somehow got dropped Matthew Wittering who
gave us $50 last week. Can
I just give you a quick look? He sent me a little side note.
Okay. Beautiful day here and get my nation east. The general
election has been called an air of optimism across Great Britain
this morning I received a phone call from London Southbank
University coming back to me about a job I applied applied
for in late February early March and offered me an interview for
later this month. On Saturday, I had actually donated $50 to the
fun for hookers and blow, which I believe has realigned my karma
and created this opportunity for me to interview for a real job.
So he's a part of the karma club which Wow, we
should go we could do your karma club farmer club. Yeah. We got
to put together a list of people in the karma club because
there's tonnes
Excellent. So Matthew, sorry for skipping and thank you for your
$50 donation it Rory
booze CA, b u s zk. A which has to be pronounced booshka. He
says he's wants to donate just to say like butchers name. I'm
glad to have that reputation now. From Carmel, Indiana. A
good 77 dot 70. And he's donating because he thought it
would be funny to hear me butcher the name, blah blah
blah. He wants to call it his friend Zac Brown as a douchebag.
Because Because he turned me on to the show but has but to my
knowledge has not donated and the significance of the number
777 is religious. He says if the Antichrist prophesy that number
66666 of revelation comes to power during my lifetime, you
guys will probably have something mentioned some mention
of it. So the Jewish numbering system 777 is symbolic of the
Trinity. Anyway, thanks for the good show. Thank you, Rory. John
Schneider Chicago $58 had given me a happy birthday $1 for
each each year of your age who would have
guessed by way and thank you very much $58 Anyone who has $58
Next week. Special call out. Oh rich. S C H ag ERL. Shana,
Sagar l
che is from Vienna.
All this it'll be already. Shag shag is an IRL shagger
where it's on the Pay Pal thing is s ch shortleaf. sch a g e r l
saguru Chaga road That's a tongue twister Yeah for real
fear defy 10 two nickels on the dime Musa now remember the
militia but not the militias amendment? Gordon Walton the
Austin Texas at the 510
I just say something about the Minutemen because Minuteman Tom
did want to remind everyone who is donating double nickels on
the dime that's $55.10 There are some duties that need to be
carried out there's a responsibility that comes with
that type of support. Here they are carrying the Knights armour
shield and sword, dressing the knight in his armour, replacing
the Knight Sword if it is broken or dropped. Accompany a knight
during time of war to the battlefield. Holding any
prisoner the knight mine take protecting the knight when
needed rescuing the knight should the night be taken
prisoner ensuring an honourable burial of the night in the event
of his death or to to the head ensuring the nights hookers and
blow are in good order. Carrying the night's blow for him through
airport security for example. Minute Man Tom, he's on the
ball. And he's so right. You must carry for your night.
Exactly.
Carry the blow. Right? Yeah, okay. Yeah, those things you
have to do. So, think about that when you get
don't just be cavalier and donate. Okay, it's a big risk.
Otherwise, just give us a you know, random number. Rubens,
Zhang z h a n g is in Canberra, out there in the middle of
nowhere Australia 5510 and encourages us do three shows
where you can the rest of these people gave us 5510 which
includes Aaron Spears robe. Lee lays June the June Baton Rouge
or something for Aaron Spears here. I see. A double
get to that. Okay. And then Scott bulan in Monroe, Michigan
and Erin spears and Brook Park Ohio. Is wishing a Happy
Birthday donation which of course we've encouraged Hold on
a second John
that's it sticking with a hole Okay, so it's Aaron spheres
donating double nickels on the dime wishing a very happy
birthday to his amazing wife Kelly on her 30th birthday and
also a plug for the world of cinema podcast world of
cinema.com. So is that all it takes to get a birthday
mentioned is double nickels on the dime?
Well, until we change it
all right. Kelly happy birthday from your hubby Aaron spears.
How professional was that? Oh professional was that?
We were borderline a lot of times. All right. So that's our
group and we also a lot of people gave us smaller amounts
of money and anonymously and we thank everybody. And by the way,
go to no agenda show.com and work.org/n A and if you want to
donate directly to the stream, which is a separate donation
gotten divorced.org/n A See, and donate there. Also, if you can't
get to the donation page, go to channel DeVore act.com/n. A we
need your help we needed.
Yeah, we do. We do
and time flies and so does the money. Well, just
the amount of work that we're doing for these two shows. I
mean, I can't imagine doing a third show at this point in time
without actually having to give up all my other work. I just
can't I don't see how we can do it.
Yeah, no, there's too much time. It's a time consuming process. I
basically lose Wednesday doing this show.
Yeah, all of Wednesdays go well, and Saturday.
Yeah, Saturday, it gets kind of wasted. I think that that's why
I think our Thursday show usually has more interesting
stuff, because we have an extra day to work on it. And back to
interesting stuff.
It will the Gulf of Aden, which I believe is not down there by
Yemen.
I don't want to Yeah, that's exactly where it is. Okay. So my
darling.
This is this is I'm getting a lot of reports and it seems to
be that over the past seven days is extra activity going on in
that area, which is a part of what is known as the Delta
Quadrant. There are tonnes of naval vessels basically circling
around I know you're gonna laugh at me but what we are calling
the Stargate
Aden No, not what we are. What do you mean, we got a mouse in
your pocket? Yeah,
I do. 300 naval vessels have been circling around this seat
this Stargate, which is the bottom of the of the sea there.
It's about seven miles down. And there's and from the reports
that I'm getting is there are these huge cigar like ships that
are coming out of the Stargate going up into the back don't
don't listen. But they have to decloak at a certain point as
they come out of the Stargate so they're visible, they're
actually visible. And I'm pretty sure that we can get to this
Well, no, I'm I'm hoping that we can get some Minutemen down
there. So they can go go take a look. Somebody who had been in
Yemen it is under not not. And I'm thinking though, remember
all these weird? radar images we were talking about on Sunday,
these circles now there, you can actually see circles of
interference in the photo from the bad sensor that
no okay, you call it that. But I have pictures and satellite
pictures of the Arctic region. And there are actually rings of
the ice melted that are exactly the same type of circles. So I'm
thinking that maybe the stargates are activating and
stuff was opening up. And what, what some believe is that
they're putting some kind of force field or I don't I'm not
too big on that one. But they're gonna put some kind of five d
Crystaline electromagnetic shield firmament around the
planet with a forcefield that will make aggressive use of
weapons and you
know, the melting of the, what you just described, maybe let's
go let's take this to a little bit beyond Okay, let
me bring up the bring about maybe
we maybe this is the whole reason to halt global warming,
because it's only been the coldness of the earth that has
kept these guys frozen under there. And obviously, Gore's an
alien if you ever looked at him.
You know, Time Magazine published this scare story about
melting Arctic seas at the same time, the same day on Saturday.
We have all these reports about Arctic ice dramatically
increasing. It's like, can't they get their stories straight?
Or at least get the order straight?
So, but I'm I really there's a lot of
interest to keep an eye on this. Adam, keep a close eye on that.
Keep an eye
on the Stargate. You can laugh at me. You can laugh with me. I
don't mind. I have I have some belief.
Yeah, no, I think it's fine. You might as well play the I love
you clipped in. Oh, okay. I love you
What is that? I might as well put that in the jingle machine.
That's a really good one. You can take that to the bank. We're
gonna play them together. I love you. You can take that to the
bank. Okay. Hey, there
you go. Nice. Was at he was giving a speech at one of these
colleges. He's managed to there's a couple of good stories
in the in some of the more obscure right wing, libertarian
magazines and newspapers. I've got one around here somewhere.
Let me find it. I wonder that by the way, if anybody wants to
donate something they can donate. I think that anyone who
reads this thing called the Rock The Rock Creek free press, do
you get it? No. I'm surprised. What is it? It's a, it seems to
be something there's a there's a kind of a character named Wayne
Mazda and who's floating around, who's kind of like Alex Jones
got like an Alex Jones, Wayne Mazda as these guys. And they
just put together they just collect from the looks like from
the internet, these weird stories and they they post them
as news articles. And this one, here's the one that got my
attention, which is the White House press corps, forbidden to
ask certain questions, and then outlines the questions we'd
already talked about. This was a new one. Well, this has gotten a
little more it's got a little more detail. But it's you know,
the question is about Occidental College. And when he was, you
know, apparently working for these weird schools and a kid
they can't ask him about his record, Occidental College, I
can't talk about him that, you know, a bunch of stuff. And it
was a long list. But this newspaper, which is called the
Rock Creek free press, hat takes ads. And I think they should put
an advertisement for our show in there. Now the perfect wouldn't
it? Yeah, cuz there's kind of characters that you know, would
probably liked it, but we have to say, so anyway, the Yeah, the
I Love You thing is part of Obama's Obama's not going to
die. He hasn't had a press conference from something like
nine months. And it doesn't look like he's going to do any
because he what he likes to do is go to these colleges and
schools where everybody loves him. And he gives speeches and
then the speeches get covered as news. And this one word I'd love
you think came from him went back to one of his schools that
he's visited before and he had nothing but fans there and some
girl in the audience out of the blue in the middle of his speech
yells out.
I love you Obama was like a rock concert. I guess. I got it.
Well, you know, there's, that seems to be heating up. Obama's
background, there was a report here in the examiner. As
investigators delve further into the background of Barack Obama
disturbing pictures emerging of a man who is not who he claims
to be. And this is not
it keeps looking like a CIA plant. Well, here. Yeah, well,
totally.
I mean, he actually worked for a CIA company. According to a
special report issued by the blogging professor, who is a
Chicago Law School faculty member, or ex faculty member, he
says that the Chicago the Chicago Law School faculty hated
Obama. In his report, it says Obama was unqualified, he was
never a quote, constitutional professor and scholar, never
served as editor of the Harvard Law Review while a student at
the school he was, quote, merely an instructor, not a professor.
So you know, that's a, you know, that's just poorly vetted. And
here it is, this was I spent some time with the highest
tenured faculty member of Chicago law a few months back,
he did not have many nice things to say about Barry Obama applied
for a position as an adjunct wasn't even considered a few
weeks later, the law school got a phone call from the Board of
Trustees telling them to find them an office, put them on the
payroll and give them a class to teach. So yeah, it seems fairly,
there is a Manchurian Candidate.
Well, well, yeah, except for that he's done not on the
Manchurian side of the equation. He's, you know, he may be an
agent, or was an agent or could have been or had something to do
with or a contractor or who knows what, because we'll never
find out from this with or with the CIA or the NSA or who knows
who. But the fact of the matter is, this is there's a lot of
suspicious activity. And that's one of the reasons they have
this laundry list of things you can't ask in front of the at at
a press conference. And now they're just not even doing them
anymore. They just say Screw that. Why do we even do these
stupid press conferences? We do that little radio speech we put
them in front of adoring college kids who just think he's the
greatest thing ever. They don't have jobs anyway. And then just
let it go let it slide. We'll get him through this and then
he'll get reelected which he will by the way, no matter what
anybody thinks really. You think so? Oh, it's a no brainer. Here
play Hannity with Bachman and Palin and this is the word that
this is the direction the Democrats are going and then I
want to take this further with some John Dean material.
American people no longer blindly trust their politicians.
That's how this was
Michelle Bachman, she wants to get reelected for the Senate.
No, no, she's a congresswoman
for Congress and Sarah Palin is on the road with her
and Nobody, this is actually a Hannity thing. But we're out on
the road together this Yeah, they're out on the road. And
they Hannity brought him in front of this huge adoring
audience. And he asked a few questions, and then you'd get
did turns into just a joke. The funny thing I want to mention
about this is the two of them. The body language is like, whoa,
Bachman is like lesbian. Like, no, no. Bachmann is like, angled
away from Palin. Huge manner. She leaning against her on the
elbow. On the other side of Palin, she's leaning away from
Palin. It is like, oh, so obvious that she does not like
Palin.
Yeah, it's fun. It's funny how they, how they don't work.
They have this everything you do as it happens accidentally, I
have a couple of photos of myself with people. We see.
I see it on cranky geeks all the time. You and Sebastian rudely
couldn't be further apart. Okay, here we go.
Very good thing, because they found out they've been hammered
by the politicians they elected and they're saying no dice,
buddy. We're taking our country back. And that's why
I want to ask this last question for both of them. And I want
your reaction in the crowd. are either one of you considering a
run for the presidency and Tony?
I'll start with you. Before I get the ranches, how many of you
would like to see a Palin Bachman? Chicken?
Are you thinking about a run again?
I as I have said, I'm not gonna close any doors that perhaps
would be open. Michelle and I have strong faith
that telling you this would be the lesbian ticket. I'd love it.
Yeah, I love it. I love it. I would imagine the porn movies we
could make as spin offs as a joke porn movies. Oh, yeah. All
right.
We fighting as hard as we can for our country and supporting
those who share our value, share our principles, and at the same
time putting our lives in God's hands and ask me the direction.
I want to thank Governor Palin.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah, let it go.
Breaking the barrier by being a woman as the Vice President on
the ticket. She did a wonderful job, I think is the Vice
President.
Good job losing.
Oyster. If she wants to run, I think that she has tremendous
support from the American people.
All right. Well, I'm gonna say goodbye to both you,
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Governor Palin. Thank you both
for coming up. By the way. He's rumoured to be considering a run
for the White House in 2012. After the break, the governor of
the great state of Minnesota Tim Pawlenty joins us next.
All right. So let me just say one thing, before we forget, the
Republican Party and Democratic Party are run by the same
people. They're run by probably by the big banks and wealthy
families. So if you're about to say that it's an I do agree with
you now now that I've heard this, because this is going to
be possibly the Republican ticket. Well, of course, of
course, Obama will be reelected. Of course, these women have no
chance.
Well, bachlin, by the way, refused to endorse if you listen
carefully if you deconstructed her. Oh, boy.
Okay, I think we're back now. Damn. You know, the minute you
come out with some, some real information like, hey, just so
you know, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are run
by the same people and this is a big game and it's a big show.
Then they they yanked the stream they always do that.
Well, let me finish this little commentary and then we'll we do
it we there's a few people on our Thank you list that we have
to name. Yeah, we had a couple of night layaways that we just
have to Yeah, actually let me let's not let me finish what I
was saying. Okay, first of all, the Bachman has not never said
if you deconstruct what she said she never said that she thinks
failing would be a good president. She knew she said the
public likes or she never said she was going to be she'd like
to be a vice president. She's out of this. She doesn't like
Palin and that's going to show up eventually. But then we bring
out this Tim Pawlenty who by the way this Republicans think is a
presidential calibre guy, the guy and I'm just going to be as
blunt as I can. The guy looks stupid, and he sounds stupid.
Finish bag.
He was the guy that did the rebuttal to the State of the
Union,
right? No, that was Bobby Jindal. Unless you know Bobby
Jindal did it once and he's like
a dummy to plenty did it the last time okay.
Yeah, I didn't watch that. I just died. He's just a guy. He's
no good. Anyway, so let's mention a couple more people who
forgot because it ended up because of the my fault. I cut
it off in the wrong spot. But we got Phillip grey Belrose New
South Wales, who says hello. And he's What's he say the Great
Wall of Oz. goes live to block no agenda for our own safety
expects that to happen sometime soon. It probably will. Just
inland and of course, Travis when Mike Westerfield and Lisa
Lang have all been putting away money for the knighthood lay
away. And then finally, Anastasia trickles from Highland
Indiana. So the first proceeds plus a few bucks from my
recently released Kindle book, putting people first human
issues in instructional technology, which sounds
actually like the kinda guy would read a good book. Yeah. So
look for the Kindle book, putting people first human
issues in instructional technology. Anyway, that's sorry
about that. Now
I have an interlude. Unless you want to continue on, well, I
wanted to go and marrying candidates who are boring and
just boring and not caring.
I think the point I made that the Republicans are not going to
beat Obama and I mean, they talk a big game. I don't even know if
they're going to do that well in this election coming up to be
honest about it. Even though you listen to Limbaugh, you listen
to Hannity are taking the country back, we're going to do
this. There are big talkers. And of course, you know, talk, no
action. And then right now, I think what they've done is
they've helped destroy the Republican Party by making the
Republican Party a checklist party. In other words, it's
like, you know, that you have to follow these you have to be you
have to go down a checklist of things you have to be against.
You know, you have to be against abortion, you got to be against
this. You got to have you can't be you got to be for this for
that. There's a million things a little checklist, if you don't
check them all off. You're not a Republican, you're not a
conservative, you're a rhino, and you shouldn't even be
allowed to live. And this kind of thing is killing the party.
So, yes, but All right, go ahead. I
had to go kill this phone call. Yeah,
go ahead. I mean, no one cares about the show. Okay, so I have
a little clip here from the United States of Europe from
Starfleet Command, where our good friend Nigel Farraj, once
again lays into haiku Herrmann. If you don't know who haiku
Herrmann is he is the President of the United States of Europe.
And Nigel Farage is from the UK independent party and he likes
to cause some crap, you'll won't see this reported on mainstream
television. It's not the same thing. I'm sorry. I'm sure
there's not the same thing report on last week with high
acoustic thing. No, no, no, no, this
is no, this is Nigel Farraj laying in this is from
yesterday. Okay, in Brussels. European freedom and democracy.
Next President Nigel Farage, we're in the presence of a great
man today, the president who is so important, he is beyond
criticism beyond reproach. He is the king of the modern political
class. He is the modern day Zeus. And he intends to rulers
from Mount Burley MA and woe betide anybody that questions
his authority, or questions, his dignity, or they will face
severe punishment. Indeed, in my case, the last time we met, and
I have one or two things to say, the parliament impose the
maximum possible fine. And I'm told that if I say anything that
upsets you, the microphone will be cut off. Well, what price
free speech? What price democracy. But you've come back
to us today. And now with the approval of Mr. Sarkozy and
angular Merkel, you're the head of a new economic government for
500 million people. And you've launched your 10 year plan, your
wish list, and I just wonder, have you remembered what
happened to the last 10 year plan that was launched in 2000?
It was It was launched in this Parliament too much acclaim. It
was a total and utter crippling failure, even before the global
recession hit. And in fact, all centralised EU plans fail. Just
look at the disastrous, ruinous Common Fisheries Policy. And now
your beloved Euro has failed. Its failed politically, at its
first major hurdle. You weren't able to come up with a plan at
that summit. You can't bail out Greece without the International
Monetary Fund coming in. To save, at least for the moment,
your Euro dream, and yet mr. Van Rompuy your plan seems to be,
we're losing, we're failing, let's have more of the same.
Let's have more Europe, let's have more failure. But what
really matters is the loss of democracy here, you have not
been elected, you are not accountable. There is no
mechanism for the peoples of Europe to remove you. It was
Zeus, of course that kidnapped Europa. My fear is you are
kidnapping our democracy. You are only here because that
Lisbon Treaty went through without the British people being
given the referendum that they were promised. And as far as
we're concerned, this is unfinished business people
fought and died so that we could be an independent, self
governing democratic nation that was able to hire and fire its
leaders, and no one that believes in democracy will
accept the post of president of the European Union. Thanks. For
all the noise Farish guy is my hero. Yeah, he really makes a
good point, you know, and this is a lot of people have been
sold on the idea of yeah, why don't we just all play together
and be one big world government and, you know, we'll all solve
the problems together and kumbaya hold hands and tell each
other a secret. And he's me makes a great point. He says
that we people fought and died to be able to elect our leaders
and now all of a sudden, here's this complete douche who's
sitting there unelected, and he is he is the Obama of Europe.
That is his position. And by the way, he makes twice as much
money as Obama. And he's gonna Yeah, anyway, he's not wearing
it. Now. Nigel Farraj is quite an amazing guy. I think he's a
lone voice. And he better watch his back.
Yeah, he is a lone voice. That's the kind of the disappointing
part about this. Yeah. Where
are the Brits? The if I can just say get more nation east. You
know, the Brits. I lived there for four or five years. There's
so suppressed they're such slaves that all they can do
after a nice day at the factory is go and drink themselves into
oblivion. You know, go out and look at the Frenchman. At least
the French are out there burning shit and blowing stuff up. John,
hang up the phone.
Hello. Yeah, you know, I got on a mailing list.
Just turn it off. Just
I took it off the hook. I mean, I usually don't get caught.
I have more important stuff to talk about. Because we have some
suicides taking place. Oh, okay. Let's
go to the suicides. We need a suicide jingle.
Well, it's basically that's all we've got. A chef at Euro Disney
hanged himself at his home last Friday. left a note saying I
can't handle any more kids. I will miss you. But I can't this
is very interesting. The way his suicide note is worded. I have
to increase my numbers with fewer resources reason enough to
kill yourself. This, by the way is the fourth suicide in a month
in Euro Disney. The happiest place on earth. Four people have
committed suicide in the past month. Now, so um, let's see.
Oh, so I'm like, Oh, that's interesting. This is what's
going on there. And then I find another little article. So that
is, by the way listed under legate. Mo nation in in the show
notes. The company Foxconn in Shanghai, New York. Foxconn does
Yeah, they're the biggest provider of laptops and I think
they make the the iPhone they're huge Foxconn and quanta are the
two big boys.
Yes. So they of course have made a lot of the parts for the iPad
as well as the iphone four suicides in the past month.
Now, you know, this stems back to an investigation. I think.
That's interesting. Well, so here
we have yesterday, an 18 year old female worker at Foxconn
became the fourth person in as many weeks to attempt suicide.
Well, she attempted suicide by jumping from one of the factory
buildings. She had been working at the Laguna pant plant for a
month. Fortunately, a tree broke her fall she could just catch
herself with a stick in the eye. March 29, a 23 year old man
named Lou jumped out of a dormitory. A lot of people
jumping by the way, jumped out of a dormitory window at three
o'clock in the morning. dressed only in his factory shirt and
underwear March 11 9:30pm worker in his 20s named Lee jumped to
his death again at the longbow, a plant. March 7, a female
employee named Qian jumped from her dormitory building and
injured herself saying she was under a great deal of pressure.
This jumping stuff I don't buy that. That to me is Push and I
don't know what's going on. But there was something very weird
about this about this Foxconn outfit
well you know it could be scandalous because then this is
the this is they they don't just make parts there are parts
company they made. Yeah the finished I think the iPad and
the iPhone are made by them. That's what this article states.
Well this is like you know, they want to get over Kathie Lee
Gryphon or whatever Gifford for jabbing making shoes in a
sweatshop. I mean, maybe somebody should get on Apple
from using Fox comm for this sort of thing and if they're
running a sweatshop
so I just thought that was kind of interesting. Especially
Bureau Disney the happiest place on earth for suicides from the
get my nation files we have this was pretty interesting. When it
comes to technology. This is from the daily illini.com which
is see where's this? Where's that from? Yeah, University of
Illinois. Does the alumni, Illini Illuminati. The
University Police Department is testing a new automatic licence
plate scanning technology this week, making the department one
of the first in the area to try the system. So what exactly is
the system you might ask? Well, it consists of a video camera
mounted on a squad car, which records licence plate numbers as
the car drive we talked about this that these are in San
Francisco, which records licence plate numbers as the car drives
through traffic lanes and parking lots. The recorded plate
is stored in the car's computer system and cross checked in the
system's national database of licence plates belonging to sex
offenders, gang members and criminal offenders. If the
system matches the recorded licence plate to a plate in the
database, that computer alerts the officer driving the car
giving them an opportunity to pursue the offender if
necessary. But it gets better. The system is linked to GPS
which records the time the plate was scanned, as well as its
estimated location. The information is downloaded and
stored into a server at the police station. This is sounding
really good, isn't it? I'm loving it. I mean, isn't there a
law against storing this kind of stuff?
They're probably not or they wouldn't even do it anyway.
Sorry, in the UK, and you know, they have licence plate
recognition cameras all over the motorways. Apparently they store
that information for two years.
Now that way they can see where you've been and what you've got
where you've gone. I don't see that ever. I don't know. It's
just it's as far as I'm concerned ends up as bad
information because they never use it right. And it's always
screwed up. The databases are corrupted. There's too much data
they don't know what to do with it. Well, someone's credit is
creepy as a dump. I just you know, the sex offenders. I mean,
they they made everybody a sex offender. And then they ended up
you're naked on your cell phone. Sex Offender. Yeah. And
then the next thing you know, the real some real sex offender
moves in next door and he decides not to play the game. So
he doesn't files any papers or anything and doesn't get a car.
Take the bus. And
there's a tip. Yeah, that's a sex offender tip take the bus.
You might be the interesting people. Give our nation down
under Australia is creating a new government post a new
ministerial post. John, can you imagine what it could be?
Sex Offender post? No.
It is the Minister of population strategy.
Well, Brother
population strategy. Okay, all of our listeners and producers
down there and get my nation down under. I think we better
get our trip going soon, John, because they're gonna start
calling the population like that. Yeah. Never been a ruse.
That means our listeners.
Yeah, exactly. My other first on the list. I just like wow, then
we have it just oh, shoot, I should have saved that page.
That was a good one about airline. They're putting into
put microphones and cameras in aeroplanes. Also we can we can
check on Yeah. And, yeah, and then my favourite, you know,
we've been talking about,
by the way, do it before you get off and I mean, there's another
article in this crazy little newspapers. I want to bring up a
guy. It's something we talked about every now and again, but
they have a graph in here. And I just remind there was a speech
given recently by black X. Prosecutor for I think
Washington DC or someplace who quit became a professor because
he's fed up with the fact that in his commentary was, the crime
rate goes up. The number of people in jail goes up, the
crime rate goes down, the number of people in jail goes up. And
so I'm looking at this incarcerated Americans thing and
you know, it's not as though we have this over 2 million people
are currently behind bars in the United States they resent
represent the highest per capita, per capita incarceration
rate in the history of the world. With about 5% of the
world's population American has distribution of housing of one
quarter of the world's prisoners. It was by far the
world's largest prison system, and we're worried
about Gitmo. We are Gitmo.
We're told Gitmo. And if you look in the chart is where we
had like we right now we're running over 2 million about
2.4.
I thought it was closer to three. I thought it was always
about 10,006.
So yeah, it's probably going up another half a million. And
we're white, half a million is kind of interesting is because
in 1920, we had like, I don't know, 100,000 in jail, it
maintained about 250,200 50,000 200,000. It kind
of went up to 500,000 in 1980. And then starting with Reagan,
it skyrocketed and increased it accelerated under Clinton and
kept going up under Bush.
Yeah, well, this is all because of the commercial jail system.
And by the way, these jails aren't too bad. They got like
nice facility. Some of them I suppose
if you're out of work, you know? Yeah, it's
better. You probably better be in jail. Yeah, didn't homeless.
So the IRS and this is a clip from the National Press Club.
And they got one of these IRS was his name Schulman. He's the
IRS commissioner Doug Douglas Dougie, Dougie, Dougie Schumann.
And so whenever they say, Oh, we're gonna go after rich
people. That's when people like you, me, like not rich people
need to look out.
He's basically ever go after rich people, no, here, here's
what he's saying. We're gonna go get you slaves. And we're gonna
come after you. Here it comes this is. So we're gonna continue
to use new and enhanced techniques to bring people into
the tax system and make sure they pay the taxes if they've
been hiding assets overseas. We have a new global high wealth
operating unit, where we're taking a unified look at the
entire web of business and economic entities controlled by
high wealth individuals, so we can better assess their
compliance risk,
right? We want to bring people into the tax system that has
nothing to do with high wealth individuals, they are in the tax
system. The high wealth individuals are the ones who are
not in the tax system or the one they're going after the ones
that are not in a tax system. That's like the little guy.
Yeah, and there
are landcare. Just
the there was some some actual big news that I don't think many
people understood, but I love the acronym n p r, which is
really what caught my attention as I was scanning through
through the channels because you have no one we don't have to
see. So I'm watching you got to go to something. It's
defence.gov/npr, which is just funny, of course, because we
have a new national treasure. And this is the I love this
acronym, the nuclear posture review, because we can have high
school posture. Oh, and this was just announced yesterday. The
administration's Nuclear Posture Review outlines the means to
achieve greater security from worldwide nuclear dangers. This
is essentially our position on nuclear weapons, and how
everyone else will have to adhere to it. And it's really
kind of funny because it says, Well, you know, we're not going
to use any nukes. We're not going to unless you piss us off.
That's basically what it is. And I don't know if this is meant
specifically to, you know, do rattle the sabre at Iran. I'm
not quite sure exactly what it is, but it was a big as deal.
And everybody was out on stage. And of course, Hillary Clinton,
the former wife of
she's starting to look pretty raggedy
she's gotten a while she gets she has her look though. She's
She's gotten the kind of
I think she's getting worn out. She's gonna she's not gonna keep
this job much longer.
So here are the five key objectives of our nuclear
posture review. The whole word is doublespeak, it's complete.
George Orwell posture one preventing nuclear proliferation
and nuclear terrorism to reducing the role of US nuclear
weapons in US national security strategy, three maintaining
strategic deterrence and stability at reduced nuclear
force levels for strengthening and regional deterrence and
reassuring US allies and partners, and five sustaining a
safe, secure and effective nuclear arsenal. This is so this
is so bogus. But you need to take a look at this. I'm looking
at it
as a picture of a bunch of geeks, there's a bunch of
quadrennial defence review, and it just looks like a phoney it
looks like another $8 million website that is got nothing
interesting on it. And it's either coded for some other
audience or just a bunch of bullcrap.
It's disturbing because you can't quite figure out what it's
about. But I did read through because the documents are
online, there's a PDF, I read through it, and it you know,
this is new start, strategic, whatever it stands for. And
essentially, it literally says, you know, hey, everyone calm
down. We're not going to use any nukes unless you piss us off.
That's literally what it says like, hey, if someone pisses us
off, we're gonna go new kid. Yeah, that's, that's our new
posture. Okay, no, I know, we're so lovely. Then, I see you have
where is it? I'm half asleep today. I can't find anything.
There was a new shadow puppet theatre. Here it is. President
Obama's nominee because he Oh, he nominated all these people
during the during the recess. So these are the people that guess
they couldn't get these positions confirmed. And so then
the press which by the way, the press is not covering at all at
all. So he nominated the US Army General Counsel, who pledges to
investigate anyone leaking military secrets to the media.
Now, where do you think this guy comes from? Where the New York
Times? Well, actually. He was the former chief legal officer
for the New York Times. And even better than that, he's receiving
a $1 million deferred compensation from the times
while he's working in government as the US Army General Counsel,
shadow puppets. I think Come on, doesn't get any more obvious.
That is absolutely the worst, he is going
to investigate people leaking military secrets to the media,
which of course, is what happens with the New York Times all the
time. I mean, this is the
show and then the New York Times is giving a million dollars to
be to take this position a million dollars. How much money
do they make over there? The New York Times are always whining.
According to a recent government ethics filing, Mr. Watson who
resigned as chief legal officer at the newspaper, expect six
more payments from the New York Times company executive
compensation plan ending in 2015. So he'll be he'll be
getting money throughout the whole throughout the whole time.
I mean, it wouldn't be like, Hey, man, we're not going to pay
you if you don't like hook us up. It's crazy.
No, that is crazy. Okay, well, I'm glad that you get the
depressing news in at the end there.
Meanwhile, ladies and gentlemen, in real news, Natalie del Conte
is five and a half months pregnant.
a PR person to promote herself as pregnant. I mean,
I got helicopters going over. I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's been all over the news for the last month. Oh,
gee, I must
have been looking at something important. It's what we do know.
It's like what? I hope it's not that douchebag she told me
I know this must be some amazing one of the guys he works for
CBS. That's the
guy that's the guy she was she couldn't decide. Oh, man.
It's not the guy that she was dating when she was down here.
Oh, no, it's not that guy. But this guy she told me about this
guy and he he was married. I don't know. Yeah, he has kids.
Gonna have
to look into this. I don't want to start making accusation mean
either me, but I was just like, shocked. I was like, Oh, wow, I
didn't know that. She's gonna
lose your girlish figure she just made
and of course, my favourite topic being chemtrails the thing
that you don't believe well, now the government has released a
report 128 pages where they actually admit to spraying
chemicals in the atmosphere over the United States particular Oh,
vers cities. So you can stop scoffing at me every single
time. I braless either report this bowl it is not its
government report, my friend. Yeah, sure. And in. Yeah, you
don't believe it? No. and in Europe, in fact, their European
Parliament, there are now questions being asked, quote,
why aircraft, condensation trails no longer only contain
water. I mean, this is big. This is, you know, this, this whole
geo engineering bunch of Yahoo's, who just met last
month, and they're trying to change climate. I mean, I think
they're trying to control people with the chemtrails but this
report is fascinating. I will put it in the show notes. They
the non daily source code, no agenda show.com. And you can
read through it. 128 pages, and it's all there. Yeah, I'll
read it. I'll see what I'll report back.
And if you've and you will, yeah, your report back and then
you'll just say you'll have to be you'll have to concede,
no, I won't, because I know it's gonna be it's gonna be you're
gonna have to miss read it. So we're not going to get to a
couple of things this week. I want to point this out to people
one, my breakdown of this edgy new book on education I was
going to talk about today, we never got to it. And also, I've
got some very interesting stuff from John Dean interview that
was done on C span that, especially one very disturbing
comment that he made.
So you have a thing for the end of the show, we'll play after
the
No, not this week, because it was actually really tie into
another thing and did another 15 minutes we'd have to do so we'll
put it off.
But now I'm really interested.
Yeah, I know. That's good. That's what you want. Now you're
gonna be really more interested to do it. You will want to do
the show on Sunday.
I want you to do it. Now. I'm like, I'm now I'm really into
it.
All right. Here's the this will be
painless. Show Music. Okay, good.
So I'm listening to John Dean, who's become this fairly
prolific writer. And of course, he was the Counsel to the
President during Watergate. And he's the one who turned state's
evidence and then blew the whistle on what the hell was
going on, because these guys have gotten completely out of
control. Now, I don't know they've redesigned this. We've
now remember as Watergate and they've kind of obfuscated what
was actually going on, which is essentially crazy thuggery. And
it was coordinated by, among other people, Chuck Colson. And
Coulson has been repainted since he became a Christian. In fact,
he got a Presidential Medal from George Bush. And they've managed
to change the the story, the basic story of Watergate. And
I've always remember hearing about some of the crazy ideas
that Colson had, and he wanted to do, and thought they were
just and they were always just promoted as quacky, the guy was
wacky, but listening to John Dean talk about specifically the
fire bombing or proposed fire bombing of the Brookings
Institute by the Nixon White House. It wasn't a crazy idea.
It was actually in play and about to happen until dean
called them out on it. So you can't do this. And so Dean, two
talks about that a little bit in this first clip.
First, then tregony, one was whether to become a short term
assistant or deputy general counsel, and then be boosted up
to General Counsel of the shipping worldwide shipping
line. And the other was a Wall Street job that very is an
investment banker that intrigued me very much. Both out of
politics, something I wanted to do something different. And I
explained that to Holloman and he said, John, you can't leave
you owe it to us to stay, you leave, you'll burn your bridge
with us. You need to keep that bridge open. And after it's
over, and you're going to get better, better offers. Didn't
make mention it might be making licence plates somewhere. But he
really, in essence said you can't leave and you're going to
hurt yourself if you do. I suspect years later, he wished
he'd let me go. But I I was at two things that you know, the
fact that I had told the Senator, I was not going to
spend a long time in government and the fact that I had not
liked the mood and change and the nature. This has been a
right after I'd flown out in July. To turn off the Brookings
break in I jack Caulfield shows up in my office one day and he
says he's been ordered by Coulson to break in and firebomb
the Brookings Institute. I said Jack that said, that's insane. I
said don't do anything and I flew to San Clemente got
Ehrlichman to turn it off and and came back crow comes back
and says, Well, John, that a lot of people think you're a little
old lady around here. I can't even tell you what they've asked
me to do. It was set up the plumbers. So I knew it was time
to leave. I thought it was time to leave. Did you ever do you
know, if people think that this shit stopped with Watergate,
you're crazy. It's only gotten worse. Everything we've
discussed on this show is poking through the veil, the theatre
that is being laid out before you and everything you
everything you see on television is a part of it. And this sheet
goes on, it's lethal. These guys are crazy. Your power corrupts.
It's not even about money. It's about power. They're just
frickin nuts, the skits those the nutcases,
the word.org/na, we need your help. Now we're gonna finish the
show now. And I got, there's a little more John Dean, we're
gonna play. And I'll tell you what this is, essentially is
John Dean breaking down some of the problems that we have today.
You want to
play that after we're done after we're done. Okay. Oops, sorry,
wrong one.
John D goes on. And he basically accuses that I talked earlier
between moaning about the Republican Party and their
hideous idiot candidates. He breaks down some of the problems
that Republicans are going to run into by virtue of the fact
that they're essentially creating a system a structure.
And I include people like Sean Hannity into that in that
structure, and also Palin of essentially lying to their
constituents with a
Oh, you don't say there's lying going on there.
But anyway, he lays it out in a more interesting way. And he
goes and talks about some of the things about Cheney, and he
talks about Bush, what he thinks is going on and how his history
is gonna see him. And it's all kind of counterintuitive to
today's Republicans who I like I said, our checklist,
Republicans, the checklist conservative, or you have to be
you have to be exactly the way this list says you should be or
you're not a real conservative, you're a phoney you can't have
any, you can't think for yourself. In other words, and
that is, I think, the problem that the Republicans having,
which is why I think they're going to lose in 2010 and 2012.
Not that it matters, who wins or loses because we got that
premise. But at the same time, there's just there is a shift
of, you know, ideology and it that it does affect the public.
It doesn't affect the, you know, the power structure, but it
affects the public who's in office. But
so, yeah, so if you're listening to this particular programme,
and no agenda stream.com Here's what you're probably going to
do, because I don't know if we've actually gotten through to
anyone, you probably know, okay, that was fun. Now, let me go to
die, I have to look at the Steve Jobs, OS, iPhone OS four
releases, oh, what's going on there, you're being distracted.
You're being distracted from what's actually is happening. So
when you do that, go over to PayPal and send us some money,
give us some support. So while you're fiddling around with your
iPhone OS four, we can actually go do some more work with it
like another full day of the week bias a day out there will
be very and
thank you very much for those who have contributed and
continue to contribute. I really appreciate that.
Well, yeah, it's not that I'm not appreciative. But I think we
we have more listeners and people need to understand the
message. This is the only way that we can do it. So the
workout org slash and a show notes for this programme, which
are quite extensive at no agenda show.com and I'm coming to you
from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command centre in
Southern California. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley word is garbage. They they
actually pick up garbage the government does that actually is
a private company. But anyway, the government makes it.
Subscribe. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you on the Sunday morning for early servers have
no agenda.
One of the one of the saddest things that I've seen happen of
late politicians have been known to spin information. This is not
new. What is new, in fact, I was it was so troubling to me that I
had to address it head on. It's an intellectual dishonesty, that
I think is going to have serious reverberations for
conservatives. It's happening too often. I've seen it, I saw
it first with this Watergate revisionism. I also saw in
documents like the torture memos that were written by John you.
I've seen it in some of his books, in fact, in writing
broken government, it got so bad at one point I decided to write
an appendix to show people the sorts of activities that are
being undertaken by people who know better and staying with
John you for a minute. This is a very intelligent man. This is a
man who clerked for Lawrence Silberman at the the US Court of
Appeals went on to clerk for Clarence Thomas was the counsel
of the House or Senate Judiciary Committee. It's now a Berkeley
professor, very prolific writer. And he is distorting information
in a very dishonest way. And I think that to do that, to make a
point, and to try to do it for political purposes, is very
dangerous. And I certainly hope Republicans and the
authoritarian can Republican, at least the authoritarian,
conservative Republican gets off this kick because it's going to
backfire on them.
You wrote in the book on Warren heart and some of the parallels
between the Teapot Dome scandal and Watergate.
What were they Well, there's the first of all, of course, it's
the first time we have a special prosecutor we get in Teapot Dome
to I want to caveat your your mention of of Teapot Dome and
Harding with the fact that Warren Hardy has nothing to do
with it. That's that's one of the great travesties that he's
been tagged with Teapot Dome. When it happens after he's, it's
totally away from him. With the one time he learns a scandal he
deals with aggressively, but yet he bears the burden of Teapot
Dome, and he dies before he can defend himself and he dies
before he can defend himself. But Teapot Dome is a is a pure
corruption scandal. And the only parallel really the strongest
parallel is the the use of the special prosecutor. They've
selected two of them by the Department of Justice the
Attorney General is selected to in fact, I've read memo by the
Watergate prosecutors drawing on many of the precedents that were
established under Teapot Dome, it it shows we have a remedy
less than having to have an independent counsel law that can
be used and can be set up. And I think sometimes should i I'm
one, for example, who doesn't understand why we're not dealing
with torture that way. I mean, these are very serious crimes or
war crimes, and they're not going to go away. There are
foreign governments right now investigating at least seven
former Bush officials. And if we don't do so, they could well be
you know, certainly aren't going to travel abroad for one thing,
but certainly they could be theoretically tried in absentia,
of crimes. So how do you think history will judge George W.
Bush? Obviously, history Nixon's famous line, that it depends on
the historian who writes the history will make the judgement
collectively, I think that he's in for trouble. I think that he
gave too much power in the first six years of his eight year
presidency to his vice president, his Vice President
had an agenda that was to try to overturn anything that was a
result of Watergate. These very aggressive actions in the name
of fighting. Terrorism went way over the top keeping Americans
frightened to get the mandate to do so. are troubling historical
potentials. They have not they've never been accountable
for many of the activities they undertook the fact that we went
to war in Iraq with on a really a bogus reason. Those all need
to be addressed and will be addressed and I don't think
history is going to be real good to either bush or Cheney. Doctor
