they open fire for public safety. It's friggin dear Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's May 16 2010. Time here Gitmo nation media assassination
episode 200. This is no agenda, celebrating 200 episodes of
mediocrity and coming to you from the hilltop Watchtower
crockpot command centre and get more nation West in the People's
Republic of Southern California a in the morning to you all I'm
Adam curry.
I think not regarding mediocrity. This is number 200
from Northern Silicon Valley and John Cena. Greg line Buzzkill. I
just wanted to see if I could throw you off guard. You can
always throw me off guard
in the morning to you my friend and in the morning to everybody
listening. Yes. And congratulations, John.
Because you have new gear. Well,
yeah, no congratulations on 200 episodes.
Yes. I think that's pretty amazing.
I think it's, it's a feat.
It's, yeah, it is a feat actually very few people can do
it. Especially with the kind of support we're getting from our
listeners, which I think is a good thing.
And this is something that we'll be talking about on our special
200.5 episode. Now. Is this officially the Deus or is the
200.5 episode this
is this is the this is what everyone's celebrating. The
other thing is is the after party. Backstage, the Backstage
Pass. It's the after party. It's the you know, let's chat about
what happened.
So, yeah, for this 200th episode, we have new gear. You
sound lovely, my friend.
Well, let's hope that everyone else out there thinks so.
And let's hope that someone's recording the stream just in
case at all messes up.
Yes. You have all this new gear you put together a complete new
studio understand that like
the was not a new studio, everything came in from the UK.
So I've put together the old studio that I used to have,
right, so you have this studio now which has real gear and
instead of everything running through on a Macintosh, and but
unfortunately I understand I understand it, you still have to
record on the Macintosh because you don't have like any hardware
recorder. So you're hoping that people are backing you up as we
speak?
Yeah. I've looked for one over the weekend. I just couldn't
find one that was suitable. It's not it's not really something
you just easily go to a store and pick one up a really good
high end. Go to
is Yousician friend.com/recorders.
Exactly. Online. I can get it. Yeah, it's just I wanted to pick
one out. Yeah.
Actually, if I don't know they did I know the h2 from zoom
zoom. And the H fours are generally available all over the
place.
John, who are or who is our executive producer for today's
episode?
We've got a couple. Hold on a second. Are you eating gotten me
off guard with a piece of Tumelo in my mouth?
Panello. What he's ever had a Palmela.
You know what I'm talking about? All right. All right. All right.
I still have to get the spreadsheet, I think for
executive producers. And one will become a night. And that's
John Schneider from Chicago, who gave us actually two donations.
He's actually a double executive producer. If he wants to play
that do that. But we're just going to name him one. Give us
123456.
What? Oh, 123 I'm
sure No, no, no. 1000 To really up the ante. We're waiting. Next
Andy is 1234567. Is
this the highest donation we've ever received for this
programme?
It's a good question. Eric can tell us in one go? I
think it is. Well, I
had no idea that but he added another 200 they actually would
his total for the show is actually 146 8.6 fives must be
another Goldman Sachs guy. He has to say that kind of money.
We do now. And Sachs listeners all you Goldman Sachs guys. Boy,
he's changed. He says he has a very short note. He says that
it's actually he's a double night. He's now at 2000 donated.
And he says he loves the show because it's changed the way he
looks at news and information. He says Our show has changed the
way He sees things which is actually kind of what we're
trying to do, which is make people think like we do not
necessarily exactly like we do but just to see through things a
little bit better. Because we're both media guys and we on both
sides and from print to you know broadcast to scams to from
reality shows.
We have in fact we've done we've run the gamut, haven't we?
Pretty
much everything except writing a dictionary, and I did do a
glossary. And so we've seen it What a bunch of bull crap is
going on and we just tried it You know, communicate that and
and just Schneider appreciates it. And I we appreciate people
like Schneider because we actually do the show for all our
producers. Now, the second our second executive producer,
because he gave 333 33, which we just kind of grandfathered into
being an executive producer no matter what. And it's been
Blondin from Brook Park, Ohio and he wants to plug vending by
nature.com.
Vending by nature organic stuff, okay. It's not not vegan, just
organic.
Commitment eating. So, which is interesting, because when we get
into the show the guts of the show, I want to start off with
something kind of thematic. Along those lines. Now we have
Associate Executive Producers Jody Ramirez in Cancun. Hey,
Cancun, we can be there. $256.30 and Jason Marilla. Augusta,
Georgia when he he has an email for us. We have to go look it
up. We'll talk about it when we do the regular donations later
and Robert Mathers in Jersey City $21 on behalf of Radio Free
jersey, okay, cool. You thought it was is that a
pirate must be a pirate station. I wonder if it what? I'm sorry.
There's one thing, boy, some things have changed here. As you
can tell, not all my Mac sounds are coming through. Sorry. I
didn't know might be wonderful. It's probably just online though
on sound was cool enough.
And then also we want to thank God we have in the show 200.5.
We will go over the deuce club members who actually we should
list them as executive producer, co executive or Associate
Executive producers for this show just on mass. Because we
have a lot of people that gave us the tuner dollars that we
wanted to use to celebrate the show. So I want to thank them,
but we will thank them more profusely and 200.5. That's it.
Okay. Well, we of course really appreciate the support from John
Schneider and Ben blonde and who are the executive producers for
episode 200 Associate Executive Producers Jody Jordy. Ramirez,
Jason Marella. And Robert Mathers. I think this is
actually pretty smart. If you were going to support the show
and want to become a producer of the show, or an executive
producer associate. This was the one to do because it looks that
much better on your resume. I think executive producer of
episode 200 have no agenda and of course, as we'll talk about
later in the donations it actually can get you late so go
out and propagate our formula. It's very simple. Is this we go
out for yet people in the mouth Alright, let's say together it's
our mantra. I want to hear good job
Nice. Well, you know, now that you have the new gear, I'm not
going to be lagging so much because I could never do this
Shut up slate because it'd be like five minutes later you'd
hear it. Your jokes you mean? No not to jokes to shut up slave
line. Oh, well, yeah, that's the one of the reasons you're not
getting my jokes because the time No,
I get your jokes.
I just Yeah, no, you don't.
So okay, so you're all antsy? You've been sending me you were
up late last night. I saw email from you at like 130 Yeah, you
shouldn't do that on school night.
No, it was annoying about this spreadsheet, because it's just
annoying. Oh, here it is. Okay, nevermind. Is that it? You can't
stretch it or it was seemed locked but it wasn't nevermind.
Yeah, no, I was. I'd been get I got too many clips. I've got my
new I keep the recorder on the television set permanently. And
so I can get clips all day because there's so much inanity.
I know. That's the right thing. Isn't it? This like whenever I
like what is this? One cable box that doesn't that isn't a DVR
and I'm afraid to turn it on. It's like I know if I turn that
one on. And I watch that one in the kitchen. I'm going to miss
something that I can't rewind. Like that's kind of my rule. If
I'm watching TV, it's got to be on the DVR box.
Because yeah, no, actually that happens to me when I'm driving
around the car on the radio. And I wish somebody would come up
with a DVR for the radio because you're you're driving oh my god
what what did he say? He reached for something the button to push
and there's nothing that's gone.
Alright, so so like you're antsy you got you sent me a crapload I
mean, I got clips, I got stories. I got tonnes of stuff
follow ups.
But let's start off with something that my wife got me
worked up about last night.
That's what she said.
Apparently And by the way I want to, I'm going to have to like
publicly apologise to you for Pooh poohing, you're consistent
over the years, harping carping, whatever you want to call it on
the alimentaria
Codex Alimentarius. Oh, it's okay John, I humbly accept your
apology.
Now
the US? Could you just say it please? Why could you just say
I'm really sorry?
No. You got you what you got there was all you're gonna get
all right. Otherwise, you'll start playing it as a clip.
So I'm opening up my, the node on my outline are called the
Great Salt war. I'm just getting ready for whatever. Yeah,
there's a big raw milk war going on too. And apparently the
government is deciding the following. Plaintiffs do not
have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish. Yeah,
shut up slave. Attorneys for the federal government have argued
in a lawsuit pending in federal federal court in Iowa, that
individuals have no quote fundamental right to obtain what
food they choose. This is from a weds wn D website. Brief was
filed April 26. and supportive a motion to dismiss a lawsuit
filed by the farm to Consumer Legal Defence Fund over the US
Food and Drug Administration's ban on Interstate sale of raw
milk. There's no quote There's no deeply rooted historical
tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds, says the
statement signed by the US Attorney Stephanie rose.
Assistant Martha Martha fag, and Roger girl, trial attorney for
the US Department of Justice. No wonder
they went into law with names like that. I mean, you might as
well just sue people all day, I'm getting back at you for
calling me fg on my life.
Plaintiffs assertion of a fundamental right to their own
bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they
do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their
families is similarly unavailing, because plaintiffs
do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish the
government has argued really. This is where Iowa Wow of all
places, by the way. Yeah, really, you know, Farmville?
Why, wow, this has this is part of a there I have a couple of
links here, which I'll try to I'll send you we can post them.
This is part of an assault by the government's state
governments health department's and US government, on the dairy
the raw milk dairy industry, which is seen as some sort of a
threat I've never figured out exactly why I mean, I mean,
there are probably a dirty dairies that shouldn't be
selling raw milk. Most dairy dairies are but the guys who are
really into it are extremely, like hyper clean. And we in
Washington, we go to I'm not even gonna mention the place,
but it's the first raw milk dairy in Washington State. The,
the milk is so much just better in every way than the guys under
nothing but constant attacks, because he actually made it so
that they can legalise raw milk in Washington State. And now
there's like 25, raw milk dairies, and I'm sure some of
them are no good. But they're, they're just out to get the guy
so so perhaps a little background for people who are
new to the show, if, if you've been listening since the 27th of
November to 26th of November 2007. I think that's the first
time I probably mentioned the Codex, Codex Alimentarius. And
you can google those exact words. It's a United Nations
initiative, which should tell you enough right there. It's a
huge document with all kinds of protocols and, and, and
connected and related documents. It's been going on, I think this
has been building. It's just like climate change. It's been
building for 50 years, they've already had these conferences
around the world. And now the board of the Codex is like 127
representatives. And this is starting to filter down and went
into into effect with the signing of the Lisbon Treaty in
Europe in January 1 2009, I believe, although 2010 There was
some legal change. And now it actually is law above the local
laws. As far as I understand. I'm just a disc jockey. So I'm
just trying to read stuff and understand it. And the word
alimentarius of course, means law, or rules. I guess more
specifically. So it is the the
alimentarius doesn't do with food, sorry, a Codex is means
Codex.
Its food rules, food rules, and and it's just filtering down and
But
why? I mean, see, what's the backstory here?
It's simple. You control
what you're gonna say. And I don't think it's that simple.
You
control the food you control the people it is that simple. What
do you mean? And now, you know, McCain's money. McCain has
introduced a bill McCain Yes, McCain has introduced a bill to
the Republican McCain Yes, the Republican McCain McCain in
February to control dietary supplements. And in fact, if
they're not they will have to be approved by the FDA.
Well, let's take this one step further with my wife complaining
to me. Let me take the let me finish off my little piece here.
Public, this is again from the W nd.com. website under the title
life with Big Brother. A public comment period on a food and
drug administration plan to classify vitamins, supplements,
herbs and even fruit juice as drugs has been extended from
April 30 to May 29. After the proposal was publicised in a
report by us this website, the extension on the FDA posting
will allow consumers additional time to comment on the plan
docket number 206. D Oh, that opponents that opponents say
could even classify water as a drug when it is used to treat
dehydration.
A Shut up slave moment. I can't say it any other way. What do
you what do you read into this other than a bunch of you know
people with names like fag, were pestered all their life and then
like man wouldn't even give me stapler I'm gonna get back at
you when they when I'm big. I'm gonna go controlling your food.
I mean, that's the only other thing I can see.
It's unbelievable. I mean, I'm sure that you know this. This
particular website exaggerates things. But when they're taking
direct quotes, and you're seeing this stuff, and you can actually
interpret it really interpreted. You know that water is a drug.
If co2 is a pollutant, yeah, water might as well be a drug.
You're right. You know, every, you know, polluted oxygen is is
could be a drug. I mean, you know, in other words, they're
all the only thing that you actually sustains us food. Well,
so salt. This is crazy, crazy salt
goes right along with that. We've been tracking this for a
number of weeks. Of course, we have the National Health Health
was NASA national assault Reduction Initiative, which I
believe is being pushed by Mayor Bloomberg in New York. But I
read, of course, this thing is now spread out, right. It's
completely ingrained. We're only seeing it now. And we're
starting to notice it. And the New York Times, of course,
completely on board with the programme, but very
interestingly, in a report that may bolster public policy
efforts to get Americans to reduce the amount of salt in
their diets, scientist Writing in The New York and New England
Journal of Medicine, which is, I guess, pretty well respected
John, conclude that the lowering the amount of salt people eat
even by a small amount, could reduce cases of heart disease,
stroke, and heart attacks as much as reductions of smoking.
Oh, please. But this is the New England Journal of Medicine. So
apparently, if you reduce your salt intake, it's this. It's the
same as reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke, I just
don't believe that.
It's really
the way that this is being spun. Of course, as well, you know,
this is all about healthcare. And, you know, it'll save us 50
or $60 billion a year if people eat less salt. And granted, that
salt is is overused in processed foods and stuff you buy at the
supermarket that that is prepackaged. And there's a
number of reasons for it.
That may be the only backfiring mechanism here to these people
because it's big. Let me read you from that same article about
the water. The guys go on to the effort that he points to
efforts. This is the Codex Alimentarius Commission that was
created in 1963. By the Food and Agriculture Organisation, World
Health Organisation, World Health our friends, official
groups within the United Nations claims that their main purpose
is to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair trade
practices in the
right rate. That is what they originally said, as part of the
Codex is for labelling and it's that you're getting what you're
supposed to be getting from a different country. But of
course, it's now just turned into control.
Yeah, and then it's all bull crap too, because they don't let
you label all kinds of stuff within the EU. The Swedes are
complaining that their jams can have the Swedish flag on it
because it would be you know, there's something sinister about
that even though people might want a certain kind of barrier
jam from Sweden because the berries from you know that part
of the world are outstanding. So that's all bogus.
And now Heinz And the first time in 40 years Heinz ketchup has
and I love that because if you Google Heinz ketchup less salt,
you'll get their PR statement everywhere which he of course,
blatantly copied from the press release. I write and it says
Heinz has cooked up a new recipe everybody 15% less salt. And,
and they're not worried about about consumers being turned off
by a crappy taste, apparently, which it'll I'm sure you're
gonna notice a difference.
I have a letter into Heinz's PR department that a couple of
people there as we speak, I had to do over the weekend. And so
nobody, you know, this is not a high tech company. So they don't
work on the weekends. And so I haven't gotten a note back yet.
But I questioned this public relations commentary because and
the question I asked is simple.
Why don't you ban high fructose corn syrup instead of salt in
your crappy as product?
Close? Even more interesting is? My question is, are you telling
me you haven't changed your formula in 40 years? And you
were using high fructose corn syrup in 1970? I don't think so.
Good question. I like that. So I'm waiting for the answer.
So there are 16 Other companies who are complying it actually
says complying with flying and going oh, yeah, the rule I
guess. Yeah. This is from the examiner whose website is
actually a little bit funky this morning. But it includes
Starbucks. It includes subway,
that salt in the Starbucks.
They do sell food. Now I must say there was an interesting
article posted on no agenda report.com
By the way, stop what I just said about this is like a
publicity grab. Starbucks should be ashamed of themselves. They
don't have anything to do with they don't have a dog in the
hunt. Well, of course, by by by lending their name, they're
giving credibility to this bull crap. Yeah. So Starbucks, stop
drinking any Starbucks. Anyone listening? I think that's really
bad.
So a good piece written by Professor Tom. This no agenda
report.com has gotten pretty good, actually. We people are
starting to research stuff and contribute. And I like it. You
should take a look at that from time to time journalist and one
of the many websites that we have that are created by our the
audience, which I love. And Title of this is Codex
Alimentarius, visa vie fight clubs, oxygen masks. And so he
draws an analogy and you know, I still have not seen Fight Club
because I thought it was like a dumb fight movie.
I watch a great deal. I
know I got so I gotta get this on Netflix. So apparently,
there's a P a piece in Fight Club. There's a dialogue, hey,
do you know why they put oxygen masks on aeroplanes? And of
course, well, because you can breathe, no oxygen gets you high
in a catastrophic emergency. You're a high on oxygen. So
you're nice and calm as you write it all the way down. So
he's drawing the professor Tom draws the analogy to salt or
sodium. And he says, Look, this has been known to cause
hypertension, perhaps less salt will make people more calm, more
docile, more with the programme. Just watch him Joi de haar. And
I think that you know, it's not bad. It's not a bad theory.
Actually. I kind of like it. To be, but, but when you start
Googling around, it's amazing. You know, CNN, of course, is all
over the salt. And they had, what is it? 25 Surprisingly
salty, processed foods. Just like, like, you know what,
pretty soon, it'll blow jobs will be outlawed because they're
too salty. It's just nuts.
Anyway, so the whole thing is in an age, but there's something
called the food Modernization Act that seems to be floating
around that has something to do with this, and I think it has,
it's directly linked to the Codex. The whole thing is a the
fact that the mainstream media is not questioning any of this.
I mean, they're totally on board, but I don't think half of
them realise how idiotic it is. And I think the irony that I was
going to point out earlier was the fact that the big giant food
and you know, the McDonald's and all these giants, Uber
corporations that rely on salt and fat to get people to keep
eating their food because it has a slightly addictive nature are
the ones that are going to suffer the most. So there's
actually some sort of humorous aspect to this in that regard.
Well, there's there's so there's a couple of the first of all
salt is an essential and essential What is it actually?
Is it a mineral salt?
Yeah, it's a mineral you need to have it especially your
electrolytic balance by immature who said, like, you know, we
have a lot of electricity, you know, that we need to, you know,
operate ourselves. I mean, you know, that's fine. tires nerves
and makes the heart pump you need salt in there otherwise you
know it's shorts out. Yeah. And
so salt is completely essential but throughout the year salt has
been used in a variety of interesting ways. First of all,
we're probably using a lot less salt than we used to because we
have refrigeration now we don't need to, to, you know to bury
everything and salt to keep it from spoiling. But the Roman the
Roman soldiers foot soldiers were actually paid in salt. In
fact, that's where the word salary comes from. From Sol as
in salt, the Latin Sol and salt has been used as money in in
history. Maybe there's maybe make one want to grab all the
money now before we actually need it. Before we revert to
using salt as cash.
You know, it's kind of amusing is that this whole salt thing
comes right on the heels of a and if you anyone who's gone to
any of the gourmet food expos for the trade, it comes right on
the heels of a huge assault fad. And you can find it in a lot of
specialty grocery stores, there will be a, you know, a myriad of
wacky salts, which was largely triggered by people chefs like
Thomas Keller at the French Laundry who will serve little
pet little plates full of different kinds of screwballs
salts from Hawaii and the lava salts and sea salts and pink
salts that are in giant crystals. And this was like a
big deal. And in fact, a local store down in the San Francisco
Bay Area gourmet kind of high end grocery store Andronikos
they have a huge salt selection. And so salt became like a kind
of a amongst foodies a big deal, you know, so I went I'd like to
have the Malaysian green.
I've been cooking a lot recently, Mickey's also on this
diet where she has specific stuff, and I'm really getting
into it. And the first thing I noticed is Hey, Tony damn salt
on everything if you don't put some salt and I use sea salt
from Formentera actually, in Spain where a lot of good sea
salt comes from, and you need it. You can't cook without it
and everything tastes like crap if you don't use salt.
Here's your salt and pepper. If you watch any of the cooking
shows the guys you watch Jack Papan who's like in I think he's
at something now in great health, you know has been around
forever. And he he cooks. This is a little pepper he puts a you
put like a shitload of pepper and then he takes like a handful
of salt and dumps it in. Yeah. You know, little salt. He's
always goes a little salt. It's quite a bit actually. It's a lot
more than I use. So
the bottom line is, of course, you know, the salt that is in
processed prepackaged foods are needed because otherwise people
would figure it out. It's not actually food that they're
eating. It's cardboard that is salted to make it taste like
some kind of food. Yeah, there's too much salt. But that's fine.
But you know, educate people don't tell them what to do shut
up slave.
Educate people out there. I'm going to tell you a couple of
salt tips.
Okay, John C Dvorak, X salt Tip of the day,
the really great salt in the world that just for some reason
is the god it's just has everything going for it are
these hand these things are pulled by by individuals, and
various salt marshes. And it's it's French and but they do make
it here and there. It's called fleur de sel, f L e u r de sel.
And it's it's a, it's an outstanding salt, especially in
a salad or something that maintains its crunchiness. And
it's just a fantastic thing. There's also something that they
try to sell the American public called grey salt, which is a
salt that the French really rarely cook with. And it's don't
get it as just junk. And the the other one is, there is a bunch
of smoked salts now. And if you have the strong the American
ones are overly smoked, but there is a Florida cell that is
smoked, called few may sell which is actually the only
pretty much the only salt I'm using currently. That is
absolutely fantastic. He's got a very light smoke taste, but you
can't really identify it as smoky. Very good stuff.
And where do I pick this up at Costco?
I don't know. I don't worry. All right, let's
let's move off of code. I want to play a clip that has a double
whammy. It's immediate, and it's actually a tripleheader it's
immediate assassination. It's a big booboo. And it's it shows
you why our national treasure NPR is full of crap. This is an
awesome clip from Casey R W. Worst case er w is that in San
Francisco. It's in California. Right.
Casey RW I think it might be one of the one of the small PBS
station somewhere in Northern California NPR.
I think, though NPR Yeah, whatever. Anyway, so they have
the show. In fact, let
me is a radio clip. Yeah, this
is a radio clip. And it's like, wow. And yeah, this is a show
called left, right and centre. I've heard it. Okay. And on this
is the guy Blakely, who's now you know, he used to be on
McLaughlin group,
right? And he's got a horse, a dog and every hunt Yes,
yeah, he does well, actually, it's interesting because on the
site, you know, they have their financial disclosures and, and
all the hosts like, oh, I here's what I do I get paid for this.
You know, I'm your medical course. And of course, people
don't give a crap about the disclosure. However, Ariana
Huffington is also on this programme. She's one of the four
hosts of the show and a peg, if she couldn't make it to the
studio, she was too busy counting her cash. And she says
something about something that a TSA agent said to her about X
ray machines. And then notice what happens in the programme
and notice how they just talk right on over it. I don't want
to give away because it's so good. So I'm going to play it
for you right now.
Well, again, I love to analyse that anger. And it has something
to do with conservatives are not conservative and so much to do
with their stance that the government is not on people's
side.
You know, the conversation is about conservative as
liberalism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The government isn't
taking care of me. The government needs to control me.
And you know, there's so much evidenced by that. I mean, I was
walking through the airport yesterday, and there was this.
This guy who was an affair, you know, an official checker.
She's trying to come up with TSA but smokes coming out of her
ears, you know, and official checker. Yeah, okay.
The security line. And he stopped me and he started
complaining, you know, he likes what I'm saying. So, but I
presume he is a liberal, but he's all complaining about
government. He said they're not taking care of us. He said, They
had promised, eight of my friends have got cancer from
this from this machines that promised to her to give us a way
to track how much cancer radiation is coming out. But the
government has done nothing and he gets. I think we lost Ariana
there, Bob, but you want to pick it up?
So she says something amazing, which is that the TSA guys are
getting cancer from the X ray machines. They cut her off the
oh, I mean, listen to the delay between when she's cut off. And
when he says, Oh, we lost her. It's like a nanosecond.
That'd be meanwhile, you can imagine a producer in the
background agree with doing that cutting the throat motion?
And exactly. And then listen, so he said, let's pick up on that
here in the studio. What do you think,
Narayan? I think the problem is not one of my tantallon Come and
see only in the sense that the incumbents have betrayed us. So
it
doesn't say a damn thing about TSA agents getting cancer from
from the machines. Not a damn thing just continues right on.
They cut her off. They it's clearly clearly she Oh, no, she
didn't. She was no she didn't talk about cut her off, cut her
off. Gone?
Well, she won't be back either.
I just thought that was an outrageous, outrageous clip. And
she does. And she doesn't even understand what she's saying.
She doesn't even understand she's she's still wrapped up in
herself. She doesn't understand the importance that these
machines are causing cancer.
They probably are. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. First.
I mean, I've seen no evidence of that. But it wouldn't surprise
me. I mean, you're sitting near an x ray machine all day long.
And you know, and you're just, you know, day after day, week,
after week, month after month, I mean, you gotta be getting some,
I mean, the things got what your suitcase goes in, there's a
couple of flaps laying there. But thing is zapping the crap
out of everything. And they push the high energy button to take
an even closer look, you know, this guy starts bouncing all
over the place now that you got that new machine that the Miller
wave thing, you know, main guy, there's evidence that that
particular those waves cause a cataract. It's got to be
bouncing all over the damn place.
So I just thought that was fun to listen to how your national
treasure censors at
will. They probably lost the connection. All right, she's on
for half an hour and then all of a sudden she says something
interesting.
And then yeah, and then they don't even address that part.
That's That's very funny. Well, they have an agenda. In fact,
I have a couple of clips. Speaking of agendas, by
the way, you know, I'm still working on the educational
information that we will need to kind of like a feature when we
get around to it. Yeah,
when that comes out, and when the book comes.
Any minute so the
book for two and a half years dude, there's
no book is the book is done.
So organisation.
So let's see here we got a couple of clips that are cut I
have just showing the the public broadcasting the kind of the
inherent racism that they don't even know themselves that
they're doing. And so let's play that beginning part of this
whole ridiculous little interview with the with the guy
who I've always found to be weird because I don't even know
where it came from. But he's been all over PBS, Tavis Smiley,
if that is indeed his real name, who has this very strange accent
that I can never identify? And he's kind of a, in this case,
he's kind of stammers a little bit more than he normally does.
When I'm wondering why that is. And he's interviewing this
novelist named Isabel Alain de who sounds like just a terrible
person. And obviously a racist. If you listen to this clip here,
which is the Tavis Smiley Allender. A racism clip.
When you when you on earth the backstory of a true story, like
the birth of New Orleans, like the slave revolt in Haiti,
like what? The revolt in Haiti?
Yeah, she, she has this novel where whether you do the Dominie
I think it was Dominican Republic and Haiti, they had a
slave revolt, and they took over the place and right, yeah, of
course, I guess a bunch of people went to New Orleans and
were the big, I don't know, I'd have to read this. But she made
it all up. I mean, she's got some facts, but it's done as a
novelist. So who knows what's going on?
Would you ever at any point tempted to not write fiction,
but to write nonfiction
on the contrary? Yeah, I love fiction, nonfiction, you go into
the thoughts of people, the little people, the people who
were defeated the poor, the women, the children that are
never in history books, if you're, if you write nonfiction,
a historical account of what really happened. First of all,
it's always white men who do that. And you don't have the
voices that are very interesting to me, of the people who are not
sheltered by the big umbrella of the establishment.
Everything, everything, you know, if you write what really
happened, she says, which I think is the telling line. What
really happened? No, no, I don't want to write what really
happened. I want to kind of make
make it up. And it's the white guys always saying the white man
bad. Yeah, this is kind of news
and out now racist comment, this question is upon, and he should
be ashamed of himself. He hangs out with Farrakhan and a bunch
of these other characters. And then when something that is
obviously blatantly racist, is brought up on his show, he like
plays along. I have clip number two coming up. Racism, two,
yep. Nonfiction, a historical account of what really happened.
First of all, it's always white men who do that. And you don't
have that. That's,
that's just really bothers me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's, that's a
bothersome thing, I
think, to me, are the people who are not sheltered by the big
umbrella of the establishment.
What does it say about the way we teach history, about our
literature more broadly, that your point is true. That because
history is told to the voices of white men, there's so many other
voices that get lost. And for us, oftentimes, to get those
voices, we have to rely on fiction, of all things, how
fascinating,
it is fascinating, but it's really, everywhere is the same.
Now, of course, we have black historians, are usually men. And
we get the perspective, always the slanted perspective of what
has happened, the battles, the things achieved the loss. But
where are the people, the families? What happens inside
the houses inside the minds and the hearts? And that's what I'm
interested in?
Here's a loaded and impossible question at the same time, How
might our read of history be different? Were we to hear the
voices of the women and the children and the others that
have been historically left out?
I think it changes completely. And now we're living in a time
when that is possible, because we have all the technology to
record things in the streets.
What a crock of crap. By the way, what she's talking about is
called cultural anthropology, which is is is being executed
left and right. And not all historians are men by any means.
And every female historian whoever Do you who listen to
this sort of thing should be up in arms about it. And by the
way, history is the study of quote unquote history not about
some dreaming up what people are thinking when you don't really
know you don't know what's in their brains when you're a
fiction writer you're just making a story that's that's
compelling for people to read. This woman is sickening.
And that's this whole white man, that's that's starting to bug me
a little bit
when it's so blatantly obvious. And Tavis Smiley says nothing
about it.
No give the time. Who cares about him?
Well, a lot of people watch that show.
What's it on PBS?
Oh yeah, the national treasure.
Another national treasure. Treasure. national races
treasure. That's pretty bad man.
Yeah, I thought I thought I'd liven things up for show 200
Let me catch everybody up on the I keep wanting to not do it. But
I just can't stop with the planes bad trains good.
Promise to shows?
No, it's impossible anymore. So you know my my daughter is in
Gitmo nation lowlands. By the way she did the URI. There's
this show called The New Uri Geller, you know, regardless
right, and, and the show is not that I think that it was the big
finale. It's basically it's a reality elimination show. And
they're trying to find the next Uri Geller and Uri Geller as the
judge. And it's pretty bad. And so they have all these jabroni
who come on and do crazy stuff. And so they asked my daughter to
be a celebrity to have some crazy stuff done to her. And it
was great. And the guy the guy is like, okay, Christina, he's
gonna put her in trance. Right. And she's like that I was
totally faking all this. Listen, it's like, okay, you've had a
tough year. I can feel it like, yeah, like it wasn't in the
press. And, and I feel that
mom and dad are getting divorced.
I feel like, I feel like yes, I can feel like you felt alone and
you didn't want to eat. Like, yeah, it's all been in the
press. Like this guy has just basically read some gossip
magazines. But she did a great job. She had tears rolling down
her cheek and you and the guy like that a pearl comes out of
his eye or something. Oh, I cry pearls, whatever. She was Gruchy
she she she is Meryl Streep, Jr. Oh, she's amazing. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah, she's great. She got paid.
So we should mention that people out there that a lot of actors
can cry on cue. Mickey can go to so my my what? Let me finish the
story. I'm gonna say don't date an actress.
You can I have 25 women here. That's awesome. So you know I
have a car to pick her up when she gets back to the UK and she
texted me this morning says not dad. Can you have a pick me up
at at pancreas station. Because looks like besides there being a
British Airways strike, the ash cloud is coming back again,
conveniently timed with the British Airways strike. I might
I might add, and airports are going to be closed Monday. They
already know that. So she's taken the train back. So of
course they're like, Oh, brother. All right. So what's
going on with trains. And then there's this hold this, this
British Airways strike is pretty amazing. We got an email from
one of our producers in the United Kingdom from Simon. He
says you know, I live with three cabin crew that worked for
British Airways and none of these people want to go on
strike. In fact, in there was a strike in December or January,
everyone as far as he knows everyone and his crew mates,
everyone voted against it and they still went on strike. So
there's something very weird, particularly now we know the new
government is going to never allow a third runway at
Heathrow, no more expansion of Gatwick that they're going to
bring in the High Speed Rail guaranteed. And there's just no
clip after clip of Anzahl in the show notes at no agenda show.com
of British Airways personnel going we don't want to go on
strike. This is not about money. We feel we feel reasonably paid.
We don't want to lose our jobs. In fact, we're afraid that we're
gonna get squeezed out they'll bring in lower paid employees
just maybe just to get rid of us. But I'm pretty sure it's
it's it's connected somehow to just getting rid of air travel
altogether. And then over the weekend. Our president I think
it was the weekend was it Friday was in Buffalo. And it's two
clips. I got to play after another so it was in Buffalo and
the guy gets up. I'll be a shill. Yeah, we're gonna get any
high speed transportation here in Buffalo. Well, not only does
the President answer the way you'd expect, but he throws in
something we hadn't heard in a public setting before.
So I've got time for a couple of questions.
I've got the his question right here. Well, it was hard to get
an audio clip. So I had to get it off of someone who recorded
off the TV.
You got to do some voice.
Actually, you have you have the clip. I don't have this clip. I
have this be But I'd have to go dig dig. That's okay.
Well, my question is, during your term of office, will
buffalo see the transit system improvement for this country?
arrived here in Buffalo? Well, you know, it's a great question.
And I know that you know, the issue of infrastructure and
transit transportation is big here, but it's big all across
the country.
Answer that question, let's put forward
had one of the biggest investments in infrastructure
since Eisenhower started the interstate highway system. But
the backlog of work and projects that need to be done is so big,
that it's going to be a multi year process that we've got to
embark on. My hope is that Democrats and Republicans
working together are going to be able to find a long term
financing mechanism. And that we start investing not just in
highways, but also in mass transit.
Now, I want you to listen to two things. First, he's going to
tell you how great it's going to be in all these places that
really need trains connecting him
high speed rail, and especially along the eastern corridor, and
say, where I'm from Chicago, where you got Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, St. Louis, Indianapolis, you've got all
these cities that are pretty close by there, half hour, 45
minute flight. But if you had a high speed rail system, a lot of
people would end up using the rail system instead of flying
your B,
which of course there's no evidence of but here it comes
more convenient for a lot of folks and you won't have to take
off your shoes. There we go.
Well, you already have this clip, but he's this is the first
time he's saying it in public. And then I want to play this
clip right after it from CNN, which was on the same day after
the President says you won't have to take off your shoes. We
have CNN American al Qaeda,
Allah American citizens, radicalising eager to kill their
countrymen Venus is the terrorists next door the
American al Qaeda now
what are the al Qaeda gonna do who do they want to kill how
they gotta do it? You don't have to take off your shoes sleeve
alkaitis target the busiest commuter railroad in the United
States, the Long Island Railroad in New York.
So how do we how do we harmonise that the terrorists are gonna
hit the railroads the American al Qaeda is gonna hit the
railroad this setting us up now
somebody has somebody has screwed the pooch when it comes
to get a message. You know, normalised between the
government and CNN.
This is just not a video you guys
were supposed to have produced a show on on homegrown terrorism
if you were not supposed to did you get the memo you're not
supposed to attack the trains you idiots.
We've got to keep this clip this Obama clip because now this was
public. The other one was a private little ceremony we've
got to keep this because the minute we have to start taking
our shoes off before getting it's going to be take your shoes
off, put your depends on. When that happens. We're going to be
playing this clip over and over again. Because it's gonna
happen. Of course,
you have to take your shoes off, we'll have all kinds of security
a shoe bomber and you know, train shoe bomber, but
the President said it he said you won't have to take your
shoes off at all ever take that to the bank.
Well, he said a lot of stuff that he hasn't followed up on.
And I listened to that buffalo speech. I actually was gonna put
that in the clips today. The beginning of that speech. He's
like, you know, Ray stoke is like is on the campaign trail.
No, I mean, it's just, it's just horrible. I mean, I'm surprised
people can even want to listen to him speak because it's, he's
got that cadence that gets on your nerves. And it's always
like he's a cheerleader. He's worse than Bush's Bush was a
cheerleader. This guy was a want to be.
And then of course, the only news that comes out of this
whole speech in in Buffalo is he stopped at a biome diner to get
some buffalo wings and
fly and he gives them a huge plug, which I think you know,
questionable. And he knew their lives you saw the clip of it
he's in there's no no no, you know, you I can't You can't pay
for it. I have to pay for and he brings out his wallet pays for
it because it's it's a real job, get thrown in jail if they give
him a free buffalo wing.
So Luann Haley comes up to the president says you're a hottie
with a smokin little body. And then and then Obama says oh,
man, watch out. Michelle is gonna get on your case. And then
she said that's all right. Hi, Michelle. Eat your heart out.
This is this is a part of the cheat gene setup, of course, but
he's seen he received A vaccine, nothing to see here.
Real News. It's got it all. It's got nothing to see.
It is however interesting to note that this wings Restaurant
is located right next to the edge to a building where a lot
of people from the Department of Education are located. That was
just kind of offhandedly mentioned in the report. So
maybe that had something to do with it. I don't know. But yeah,
totally nothing to see here. And that's all the news reports on
they don't talk about anything else. All it is
complimented Obama for being a hottie we kind of recovered who
cares. I love it. By the way, picked up an interesting little
thing. Just as an aside, if you got my clips, I got a little
interesting one says that soap opera tell me that you're not
hearing a message in there because you don't wanna think
about being alone.
Right. I wish I could stop thinking about it even for a
second. But everything I do reminds me of Brad. taping the
show. visiting family looking at my son. It starts in the morning
when?
Yeah, Message received. Love it. What was that from? One word?
What are you watching? Dvorak?
I was just flipping around. And I saw I was watching this
looking to get some sort of like, I figured there may be a
clip possibility and she dropped the in the morning bomb. That's
something is
beautiful. I don't it's it's crazy. This. I don't know how we
do it. I don't know how we do it. It's definitely out there.
So the President in his weekly address, replicated almost word
for word, by the way. I mean, of course, the words are different,
but the whole meme is the same. In his. In our I'm sorry, it's
our presidential address, our weekly radio chat, which he
does,
you know, I missed it. I got the guy cut down to the end of it
where the Republican was blasting him?
Well, no, no, this is this is his, his weekly radio chat,
which which, of course, is a YouTube video, where he always
pushes the agenda. So you just gotta watch that it comes out on
Saturday. It's always it's all it's always so you know what's
going on? Right. So we played the one when it was about
passing health care. Now, it is the Financial Reform Act, which
is the new health care, and which I have read, and I am just
calling the Federal Reserve empowerment act, because
essentially, the Federal Reserve will be overseeing the banks. So
they're already a commercial Institute of banks. You know,
that, yes, they've been outsourced by the United States
government, but they are the banks, the who's on the board of
governors, the bankers. So the bankers will be watching the
bankers and they basically get all the power. And when you read
this, that's, that's all that the act is about. But this
actually leads into an interesting little, little
commercial slash mean. But I just want you to listen for a
second about the the lies that the President is spewing, that
it's going to protect the consumer. And I'd want to remind
you that we passed this health care bill, and I have yet to see
one person being interviewed anywhere. And by God, there's
enough people who are supposed to have been saved and forever
helped. But I don't see anyone jumping up and down saying,
yeah, got healthcare. You don't see it. All you see is experts
talking about how great it is. But you don't see any citizen.
So this is now the next healthcare the President will be
pushing as more power comes into the hands of in this case, the
bankers, and I'll
continue working hard to make sure that happens. But my
responsibility as President isn't just to help our economy
rebound from this recession. It's to make sure an economic
crisis like the one that helped trigger this recession never
happens again. That's what Wall Street reform will help us do.
In recent weeks, there's been a lot of back and forth about the
reform bill currently making its way through Congress. There has
been a lot of discussion about technical aspects of the bill,
and a lot of heated, and frankly, sometimes misleading
rhetoric coming from opponents of performance.
It's always the same. And why, you know, I've never heard the
President actually say this before. I don't think he's
always saying, oh, people are lying. Other people are lying.
It's the misleading. I don't like it doesn't stand for good.
Too much. Yeah. And it's not a good leadership doesn't need
that. And quite frankly, if what you're saying is true, you don't
need to even dispute that. You just lay out the facts, which he
doesn't do.
All of this has helped obscure what reform would actually mean
for you, the American people. So I just wanted to take a few
minutes to talk about why every American has a stake in Wall
Street reform. First and foremost, you have a stake in it
if you've ever been treated unfairly by a credit card
company, misled by pages and pages of fine print, or ended up
paying fees and penalties you'd never heard of before.
So this is like the credit card protect Shouldn't consumer thing
that they've been talking about which of course, is still yet to
be implemented. And meanwhile, credit card interest or what
27 28% still isn't, this is nothing going to change there.
And it's very little in this bill about that.
And you have a stake in it. If you've ever tried to take out a
home loan, a car loan, or a student loan, and been targeted
by the predatory practices of unscrupulous lenders, the Wall
Street reform bill in Congress represents the strongest
consumer financial protections in history. Okay,
so I don't have to play anymore. I just wanted you to hear it to
understand it's bullshit. That is not in this bill. It's
online. And it's still it's a proposal. It's not the actual
bill, and you read it. It's like, it's all about the Federal
Reserve overseeing the big former investment banks who of
course, now have become holding banks, who can get federal
money, it's all about giving power to the Federal Reserve,
the Board of Governors is on every other article. So this is,
of course, we need to spread this meme now, just like we did
with health care. So now the banks got to get on board, and
they've got to start propagating the message. This is a
commercial from Citizens Bank, which is a great name, because I
think they're anything but a small community bank. Is that
true, John?
I don't know the size of them. But it doesn't say it sounds to
me as though they're probably a monster.
Yeah. And so what you see is a bunch of people who are
citizens, and they're in like, kind of like a courtroom
setting, although it's not really a courtroom, but kind of
like a courtroom bleacher like they're the audience in in a
trial case, and there's someone standing in front of them, and
they switch back and forth between a couple of guys in
white wigs who are supposed to look like our founding fathers.
And the mess. The message is give us your cash. Here we go.
We all agree on one thing that our country was founded on
citizenship, citizenship. Oh, by the way, as a little kid who
keeps asking dad what what does this mean? What does that mean?
What is citizenship?
A system of rights and responsibilities, banking,
banking, everybody carries their weight, business.
And bank banking is part of the idea. I put money in the bank.
The bank lends to me and bank lends to me.
One man savings is another man's mortgage is another women's
mortgage, a new
factory daycare centre, college loans, expansion, growth. Jobs,
shared prosperity. This would have been supposed to be a
facilitator of prosperity. One of us that's the idea right?
That's how the forefathers saw good banking is good
citizenship. Good citizenship is good business. Yes.
And then it ends with a good thing. Wave is more of an
indictment of the educational system. Dad, what's growth?
What I love this, banking is good citizenship. Give us just
give us your cash just put yet
because I gotta get those guys yelling. Yes, the rescue
team. We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send
blankets or water. Just send your cash.
It's amazing. It's like it because if John you have to put
your money in the bank, because that's someone else's mortgage.
That's someone else's small business loan. That's not how
banks work.
Well, they did back in the 1800s. Of course,
of course, but it's just like, whoa, just you just sit there
you watch it go like, okay. Just give us all your money. Please
be a good
like the structure of the commercial with the guys yelling
Yes. And if you don't watch the commercials, just listen to it.
It's really got a nice structure except for the idiot kid who may
who's distracting because he comes in and he asked the stupid
his dad what's growth? It's like, shut up, kid. Are you that
stupid?
Now if we, if we actually go back to the President's radio
chat, they're about to screw the community banks, which is the
thing that I got really worried about.
You'll be empowered with the clear and concise information,
you need to make the choices that are best for you will help
stop predatory practices and curb unscrupulous lenders
helping secure your family's financial future. That's why
families have a stake in it. And our community banks also have a
stake in reform. These are banks we count on to provide the
capital that lets our small businesses hire and grow the way
the system is currently set up. These banks are at a
disadvantage because while they often play by the rules, many of
their less scrupulous competitors are not playing by
the rules. So that's
just doublespeak for we're coming after you. Community
banks. That's the way I read it.
I'm not getting that but we'll wait and see but I'm sure the
Vita screw that community banks are the only banks that seem to
have any ought to be doing it right. She did have customers
that like them.
John, we're an hour into this programme, I think we should.
Well, before we do, I might as well finish off with a very
light thing, which is the because of the structure that
last commercial I want to play the classic commercial called
the Honey Bunches of Oats, which is a cereal commercial, which
has got all the elements and I would hope somebody out there
can can do a commercial like this around our show, you know,
people like to produce stuff for us, because this is really got
the right rhythm. I unfortunately left a little bit
of it after the this this uptempo ad. And I just got the
beginning of one of those depressing ads for you know,
some antidepressant pristine for steek or something. And so it's
kind of an interesting contrast, but just play this ad, you try
and have a bunch of
spoonful is a little different. I get three kinds of flakes,
which is delicious. It's the perfect combination of sweet and
crispy. I'd love it. This is so good. Great, the magics in the
mix. Depression is
we totally went like the magics in the mix.
Like it was, you know, going from one voice and another. It's
so good. And all the rest of it. Commercial was dynamite.
Yeah, it's like now with more crackpot flakes. It's the magic
is in the mix. Yeah, someone's got to do that. That's awesome.
So that is, of course, a big part of how our show works. And
this is now episode 200. We have a different model that we've
chosen for one that consists of no commercials. And the donors
of this programme will be receiving a special link to
listen to the backstage version of the show, which includes a
lot about how we put it together while he put it together, how we
morphed and how we stumbled upon this way of doing the programme.
Not having commercials but also not being maniacal about
copyrights and ownership and we have now an entire slew of
websites that are I want to say audience but it's more like our
community we call them producers have set up around this show
from the no agenda toolbar to the no agenda network the no
agenda search are in the morning tea no agenda floormats. No
agenda travel. No agenda book club, no agenda forums, no
agenda art, no agenda, karma, no agenda proxy mean, the list goes
on and on. By the way,
the no agenda proxy for you people out there who can't get
to the divorce.org/in a donation page. Go to no agenda proxy, it
works great.
Well, you've tried it. I've tried it works good. Yeah. Works
well, so and people from time to time, I think we may even have
Adam Berg piling in the notes for today. From time to time,
they'll make some money on one of their initiatives. And then
they'll send us some and we don't just say how much we don't
say you know, you got you can keep it all for for all I care,
it would be nice if you don't want to be a quintessential in
the system seems to be working. Now. It's growing. It's not
where it needs to be yet. But once again, this week, we've had
a lot of people help us out, and we appreciate the support.
Yeah, so we have some good support. And of course, we have
a lot of support for the deuce club. And a few people coming in
late on the two nickels on the dime, which we'll mention here.
And we will talk about them with great admiration. They also
posted Deuce club page, which will be all discussed on the to
200.5 show. Everyone who's on the list to get the link we will
have a link to the 200.5 clubs sent to you by email today late
today. I got to update the mailing list before we do it.
And so open your mail this time because I believe half the time
we send a mailing only about half the people ever open it
because that'll be the link that you can just click on it and you
can listen to the show there will have a direct link and a
link to where it's where it's hidden. But let's thank some
people for this week's show. Besides our producers, or
executive producers, you got Steven staff from Conklin, New
York, who gave us $198 Brian Cuthbertson Brisbane, Brisbane,
Australia 150 Stephen staff, Conklin, New York 144 90. I'm
worried that somebody here sent me a special note separately

We have another did you get the Dean has a birthday announcement
truth that's resonating then. The dean she says she made the
donation on behalf of her boyfriend Aaron Marino or Moreno
on Sunday, May 16 is his birthday. So there is no better
gift than this donation. Yay.
And then finally, one more from the karma club and you can enter
these at no agenda karma.com Adam and John says Seth plenty
of stories about people getting gigs donating to the show, but I
recently got laid. Let me tell you the story I was in this is
an incredible story. By the way. I was in a bus station Ecuador.
That's a great way to start off any story. Yeah, I remember who
was in a bus station Ecuador. I spotted a girl with an iPod
Touch. I could clearly see the album art and recognise the
podcast has no agenda. I was able to start a conversation
with a hot blonde from Sweden who happened to be heading to
the same small beach town as I was no agenda gave us something
to talk about on the three hour bus ride and we hit it off. We
actually just like Casey case, and we exchanged in the mornings
the next morning and parted ways. Thanks so much, John, for
helping to relieve my sexual frustration. Whenever I have
some spare cash or throw it your way. No agenda, it gets you late
in the morning. Do you believe that story?
You know it's a great story.
You agree? All right, time for a couple of knighthoods. John, who
do we have on deck for our knighthoods?
Well, first, Mr. John Schneider known to be Sir John Schneider.
Yes,
John Schneider, please step up. And kneel, John, time to
unsheath you got it good. John Schneider do hereby swear by
your life and love that you will never live for the sake of
another man nor ask another man to live for yours and that money
is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to
deal with another must deal by trade and give value for value.
If you do then we hereby Nightbeat Sir John Schneider
knights of the no agenda roundtable All right, who's
next? Jory?
Good old Jordi Ramirez.
Okay. I think might want to sharpen up that one a little bit
okay Geordi Ramirez kneel before crackpot and buzzkill under the
same vows aforementioned we here by night the surge Geordi
Ramirez nights of the no agenda roundtable please step up, come
over here and enjoy your hookers and blow. And if you're new to
the programme, a donation of $1,000 in aggregate, give gives
you a knighthood and a ring. I did ping Neil, by the way, for
the for the designs as he sent you anything yet?
No, he hasn't said anything. But if we start pestering him,
you'll have to do it.
Okay, because we're so we'll have a manufacturer everything
else is all good to go. Right? We just Yeah, we
were pretty sad. So by the way, we do have one correction,
perhaps, but we're going to put it off till next week, which is
Steven staff has actually made two donations this week, which
put him over the top for the executive producer, but since he
put them one was 198. And one other one was 144. I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't want to be because it doesn't make a lot of
sense to me. So we'll just ask him to be executive producer
next week.
Groovy. All right. And of course, we have donors for the
deuce club. And they'll get the special backstage show. I guess
they'll receive that today in the email or tomorrow. Yeah,
it'd
be tonight. Yeah.
And and that's kind of a backstage it's a backstage pass
to the novice bash
state. We're going to talk about how we do the show what we why
we do the show what some of our you know what, you know,
essentially what you it's the inside stuff inside baseball.
You construct the show your own show, and you go, we may find
that it sucks.
So so maybe the last show, something kind of disconcerting.
This was actually for a moment there a trending topic on
Twitter.
Oh, by the way, before you go on to that, don't forget to mention
divorce that org slash n A or donation site, and
divorce.org/na s for the stream and also channel dvorak.org/and.
A.
It's amazing how we still get donations for the lack of
attention we spend on actually telling people how they can
donate.
Yeah, I know. It's amazing. By the way, I want to mention that
at midnight tonight. The deuce club is closed. Good site comes
down. Good night Pacific time.
So trending topic on Twitter for the past couple days. Rainbow
clouds seen over Los Angeles. Similar to clouds seen before
Chinese and Chilean quake. And this is the changing of the
colours of the sky that we've been tracking, John. Okay, wait,
hold on a second. First of all I want to mention is the Vortech
that org slash Deuce for the deuce club. But But hold on a
second. You're in LA?
Yes. So I've seen them too. Oh, hold on.
Take a picture. You have a big fancy camera.
No, I didn't. I didn't. I should have done that. I guess that's
kind of stupid, because now you won't believe me? I don't. So
well. So there's been a lot of small quakes this past week. But
that's kind of normal for the region. But I'm just saying that
couple days before the big one hit China and the big one hit
Chile and even right before Chile. And right after there
were these rainbow clouds in the sky. Which, you know, as some
people are saying is a precursor to an earthquake. Yeah, it could
be I mean, it could be some piezo electric thing going on.
Who knows?
I mean, I'm not saying it's anything else. I'm not saying
it's earthquake machine, per se. I'm just saying that that's it
was it was even a trending topic on Twitter. People were noticing
this. And there's an interesting
Whopper coming up down there. I mean, my Mimi's noticed a bunch
of she follows she every day she looks at the National the geo
whatever the heck it is site.
You want to look at his quake prediction.com
That's the cool one the little what is what is quake
prediction?
Quake? What does quake prediction say? Well, funny you
ask? Let's have a listen.
Good morning this Luke Thomas quick prediction.com expecting
about a 7.22 8.2 around a 7.7 earthquake in Southern
California. Between today may 9 and may 15. Most likely to
happen around May 14 through the 15th but it could happen sooner.
Again, a 7.2 to 8.2 but a 7.7 in Southern California. Please
check the maps over quick prediction.com For more details
again this Luke Thomas. Quite prediction that
all right, there's Luke. Luke is our professional. So far he's
late.
Yeah, isn't What's the date today?
It's the 16th. So he's two days late.
Well, this is no good. Well, I'm just saying it could happen at
any moment. Well, let's make sure we get that 200.5 show out
of the way and get it uploaded quick. And then you know, if it
happens tomorrow, you have enough time to recover to get
your gear back in place for a Thursday.
There's a number of two to the head stories that I think we
need to, to make mention of. First one in Gitmo nation East
in the United Kingdom, remember, the crazy Member of Parliament
who thought IP an IP address stood for intellectual property
address.
Steven two got his IP monikers mixed up.
Yeah, he's like, Oh, the intellectual property address,
well, he got stabbed.
Well, I don't blame somebody, it'd be Come on. Hey, buddy,
screw you.
He had these members of parliament hold what they call a
surgery, which I had to look it up actually a surgery is is not
a medical surgery, but it's where constituents can come and
speak with their members of parliament. And this 23 year old
woman apparently got upset with him probably over that IP thing
and stabbed him in the stomach. Oh, yeah. And so immediately, of
course, that's never let a good crisis go to waste. That's
rekindling the knife epidemic discussion in the United
Kingdom. So that was a close call there. Then there's the
very interestingly, the polish to to the head story. Of course,
half of the Polish government wiped out in one go there. And
in Russia with the amazing flashing crashing plane, right
before the runway. I think we actually mentioned this and
brought eight HP into the conversation. But now it's
starting to get out there, that there might have been a whole
bunch of important NATO codes and other information on the
plane, which you would expect a president to carry with him.
And, you know, there's a lot of talk now that the Russians may
may have acquired all of that, due to this unfortunate
accident, though no. launch codes, who knows what, who knows
what those guys have, but certainly keys to communication,
etc. But that seems kind of logical if if you have half the
government on the plane, but then what's going on in
Thailand? Did you see this? This assassination of the general of
the reds, I mean, do you even know what's going on in
Thailand?
Well, I know all hell's breaking loose. It's not a place I'd want
to visit at the moment.
No, and this is actually in, in Bangkok, where we're all this
stuff is taking place. But yesterday was it yesterday or
the day before? So they're interviewing Katya I guess this
is the the general of the red. So these are the rebel guys. And
so there's a couple of reporters around them. They have a camera
there, they turn on one of those camera lights. Two seconds
later, the guy gets to the head. So with so they think was
actually a journalist. So of course, I would probably be CIA
who more than likely are behind the whole thing anyway. Set them
up, you know, just flip the light on, made him a nice
target. And then a sniper picked them off from wherever and then
shot him. So that's going to I think make things a little bit
worse. Well, one of our producers from from Bangkok sent
in a note to me. And I really have to study this. I really
don't understand what's going on. But I guess it's the Reds
against the yellows, whatever. But it turns out that these reds
have been barricading the entire financial district and including
the offices of Goldman Sachs. It's just funny how these guys
pop up wherever there's crap going on. And and then, the US
Ambassador to Thailand, requested a meeting with the
reds. And it's just it's it's, you know what, I'm all over the
map here. I don't know what's going on. But it's will I know
what I need help on understand if this has been going on for
months. By the way.
I know that we've overlooked a story that immediate hasn't
helped anybody 00 So we don't know something. And because of
that, we have to assume something's up. And it won't
take that long. I mean, I think it'll take us a few days to
catch up kind of with the story and then a few more days to
figure out what the backstory is, which is the
most important part. So see, this is a call for help.
Anybody out there has a good son Amory, we'll take a look at it
now.
I'm going to talk about the oil cabal for a second. Where do you
want to go into some clip? You have so many clips I want you to
to play a few. And then I'll I'll wrap up with some oil
Cabal.
All right, a lot of these clips are pretty light hearted. One of
them was kind of interesting. I do have a Glenn Beck clip. And I
thought it was interesting, because he's going on about some
new regulations. They actually he's going on about the what's
her name, the Kagan and the fact that he's found a quote from her
saying, talking about this using counter information to to kill
off dissent. And then she did he cited one of her mentors as the
guy behind the idea of taxing people. Because this is you
know, Beck's interpretation of it. But it there's some some
truth to it. taxing people who come up with conspiracy
theories.
Wait a minute, we already have Pay Pal taken our money now we
have to pay more.
Exactly. So listen to this clip. And here's what I don't want to
give away the I call the clip Glenn Beck missing the point.
And then the I'll tell you why. I'll tell you in advance of what
it's clips about. Glenn Beck is describing a situation as though
it's some horrible thing that Obama is going to do and then
this woman's going to go for and all the rest of it. What he's
describing is already in place.
Elena Kagan is the nominee for Supreme Court Justice of the
United States, the highest court in the land for those of you and
other Gitmo nation quadrants. Let's listen.
Now, why is she complaining? This is not an isolated
incident. Do you remember when the White House did their own
media report on the visit by the lady Huskies basketball team? Do
you remember this? Here's the video. Okay, they did. They did
this whole thing. But this is a Huskies basketball, okay. But
they did cuts they did interviews with everybody else.
No one was allowed to ask a question, but this Huskies now,
no one is allowed to ask any questions of the nominee for the
Supreme Court justice. I mean, we're talking now a lifetime.
Well, we've got to read a 1996 paper in which she wrote quote,
if there is an overabundance of an idea in the absence of direct
governmental action, which there might well be when compared with
some ideal state of public debate, then action disfavoring
that idea might unschool rather than skew public discourse. So
that's too much. If there's too much dangerous Glenn Beck or
Rush Limbaugh, or too much talk radio action by the government
can unscrew things and balance out the opinion.
Is this also John about the
what does it call Baroness doctrine?
Yeah, the Fairness Doctrine?
Not really. It's, I mean, there's, there's an element of
that in there. But what he's describing is so humorous,
because this has actually been going on for years. And he seems
oblivious to the fact that, you know, and he can't seem to bring
his head around to saying, that's what they're doing. Now.
I mean, that's what Obama does. When you just pointed out in an
earlier clip today, you know, where he's saying, you know,
these guys are full of crap. And here's what's really going on.
That's been going on. And that's been going on for a long time.
And but he doesn't seem to realise that he keeps pounding
home this point, which is just, you know, off base, but very
interesting. The only reason I kept it because it's actually
quite interesting. You see,
that's your new Supreme Court nominee. Oh, and in a completely
unrelated story, Kagan happens to be a big fan of Cass
Sunstein. She said, quote, Cass Sunstein is the preeminent legal
scholar of our time, the most wide ranging, the most prolific,
the most cited and the most influential. Cass Sunstein, who
I maintain is the most dangerous man in America.
Well, Cass Sunstein, we have talked about him John is kind of
interesting, because he's the guy that said, we need to
infiltrate all of these conspiracy groups and the tea
parties, and we've got to bring them down from the inside.
Probably behind the thinking with the Tea Party has again
that back doesn't pay attention to where they hold up the signs,
you know, or they spit on a black guy, or they do all this
stuff, which is obviously good on the black guy. What is that?
That was a spin on a black guy incident, all right. And it's
like, you know, what are you gonna do I go spit on a black
guy that'll get some attention. But these guys are not part of
the Tea Party movement. They are obviously infiltrators that are
in there to make the Tea Party movement look like a bunch of
boneheads and it's going on already, but again, back doesn't
seem to to get his hands around the reality of his own
situation. But
you do understand that and you know, I can't watch Glenn Beck
anymore. I'm glad you do because someone has to only very
rarely but not to be honest about he's still a great
performer.
Yeah, but a key word performer, because that's what he is. I
mean, he's, and he's reading from teleprompter. He's no
better than the president
than any of them finish off here. And you'll see what I'm
talking about, which I still think is hilarious.
Here's Cass Sunstein on banning and taxing certain forms of
speech. I know, I know, it's just more academia. But But I
want you to watch. What can the government do about conspiracy
theories? And what should it do? Send us your cash. It might ban
conspiracy theories somehow defined to the government might
impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those
who disseminate such theories three, government might itself
engage in counter speech, marshalling arguments to
discredit this conspiracy theories, right with
Gibbs. Yeah, exactly. Robert Gibbs. He's your man.
For the government might actually formally hire credible
private parties to engage in counter speech five, the
government might engage in informal communication with such
parties, encouraging them to help
CIA Yeah. It's like shows all been going on for years. And
this guy's making a big deal out of it. I mean, I'm thinking it
sounds like he's getting more. Yeah, you were thinking,
What do you want him? I'm
thinking it's like either he's so naive. That you missed.
No, he's just telling you what's what's going on. It's like CNN
three years ago. It's like dude, newsflash, newsflash. CIA is
real newsflash. Newsflash. That's all that it is. But it's
entertaining. You're right,
what she's saying? What do you got to go back to the original
statement? What a small group of leaders. I think we have that
small group of world leaders found that there was a threat to
the earth. And that the only hope for the Earth would be to
collapse the rich countries because the rich countries are
the problem. I think we have all of this so far. And then they
would collapse the system in order to save the planet. The
group would decide that the only hope was to collapse the
industrialised world. read the newspapers. Is that not
happening?
I can't. I can't listen to anymore. Yeah, exactly what
he gives off the deep end play. Play Schwarzenegger is a
commencement speech to ask Governor Schwarzenegger to
deliver our keynote address this morning.
What a university Stanford
just play it
as the Lavista baby it's not a tumour. It's not a crush your
enemies. See them driven before you and hear the lamentation of
the women. I'll be back.
That'll be $100,000. Good night, everybody. Thanks for me.
This is actually what this guy does.
That's pretty good. Thank you. Well, you know, the guy made a
great car. I wish I had a career like that. Yeah,
he had a bunch of Buzz phrases to get make the checkout the
Schwarzenegger Arnold. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Wow. So um, remember I told you on Thursday, about C span all of
a sudden editorialising Which really freaked me out. So in
between programming there. So they have a recorded bit of the
the executives from BP Halliburton and trans ocean. And
this is a lasted about three hours, as they always say. But
they started for the first time I've ever heard this. And I wish
I'd recorded it. Of course, I was watching on the wrong on the
wrong thing in the kitchen. Wrong non DVR cable box. And the
the voiceover said, this is where the oil executives are
pointing the finger at each other. And I watched the whole
thing. And there it's it is a gross overstatement to say
finger pointing. And I agree what you agree to that to what
you have is a whole bunch of people who, first of all the why
are these guys, they should let them run their companies. They
need to be running their companies doing their bit to
clean up, you know, let them get back to their people. We don't
need all of these quasi experts because everybody and when I
hear congressmen and congresswomen talking about,
well, if the deadman switch hadn't failed in 260 spots and
the blowout blowout prevention but it's like what do you know
you know, nothing you just read you just read reports. You know,
who knows what if the report is true or not, it's just a waste
of time and you're certainly wasting these guys time. And
there was the As they were careful in their answers, and I
don't want to defend anybody, but it was not a finger pointing
exercise. It was not like three hours. We only talent Burton's
fault? No, it's got to be transactions, not well, BP. That
was not it. But this has now become a meme. And the President
propagated this as he walks out into the rose garden with his
administration. And by the way, I didn't see the EPA woman
there, I keep seeing the Paula Tonto is always next to the
President, you know, so clearly still national security issue,
and then some other nondescript people, I couldn't even
recognise them. The only one you recognise is an Apollo tunnel,
but I didn't see Jackson, from the EPA, would you think she'd
be there? And here's what the president had to say about this.
That's why this legislation is important. By the way, well, of
course, we've
made some legislation
also help ensure that companies like BP that are responsible for
oil spills are the ones that pay for the harm caused by these oil
spills, not the taxpayers.
By the way, we already paid for it because it comes from the
$2.7 billion fund that was put in place from tax money
specifically to deal with these types of emergencies. And the
only obligation BP or trans ocean has is to clean up their
rig, not the entire ocean. It's the law. It was put into law.
It's in the show notes.
This is an addition to the loans. Let me just finish his
clip. Yeah, we can go Chris loans that we've made available
to small businesses that are suffering financial losses from
the spill. Now what that
has to do it then yeah, jobs, whatever.
Let me also say, by the way, a word here about BP and the other
companies involved in this mess. I know BP is committed to pay
for the response effort. And we will hold them to their
obligation,
just just the bookmark obligation. What is their
obligation, they only have an obligation to clean up around
their rig.
I have to say, though, I did not appreciate what I considered to
be a ridiculous spectacle. During the congressional
hearings into this matter. You had executives of BP and
Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point
the finger of blame at somebody else. Okay, Bull,
That's bogus. Oh,
it's bull. It's just he didn't watch it. Watch it, he didn't
watch it. And there is no video of anyone saying because I
watched the whole thing. You know. In fact,
I got one interesting little another tidbit on a second to
one we don't have to see.
So I want your tidbit in a second. But just want to say a
couple things. Because I have insiders working with me on
this. We also have Mr. Oil in the chat room who a lot of
people are conversing with and he he knows a lot about what's
going on. And the couple things first of all American companies
may be stopped from drilling, but not foreign companies. In
fact, they are expanding what they were doing in the Gulf. The
this is this is a move. And after you do your duty, I'm
going to wrap it all up with a global overview. But this is a
move to squeeze smaller companies out. Now they've also
changed the rules on insurance. So you'll be able to get you
won't be able to get as much insurance as you used to as an
oil operator to for cleanup. And by the way, the insurance is
paying for all of this, all of it is insured. BP doesn't have
to pull a single dime out of its pocket, nor does transmission or
Halliburton other than what they already pay in premiums for
insurance. It's all taken care of. We're bringing in all kinds
of means and it's part of a 60 year plan, which is ongoing,
which I'll talk about after you bring in your I think pretty
interesting analysis.
Well, there's a couple of things. First of all, let's do a
little reading between the lines and see if you can find the the
buzzword used in this back and forth between the CEO of BP
America who's the CEO of just a division really, and and the
senator from Washington State Cantwell and tell me if you kind
of noticed that one word cropping up over and over and
over again, which is a weasel word. Meaning that they're you
know, they're basically there's nothing's gonna come of
anything, but just play this back and forth and both parties.
In other words, the US government and BP is almost like
they're reading from the same script. Aha, Oh, yeah. Same
script, and it's a little neuro linguistic action going on.
It literally was just last year that the last parts of the Exxon
Valdez cleanup were settled. I mean, it was a 20 year process
went all the way to the Supreme Court. So Mr. McKay, are you
saying you're going to avoid that by paying legitimate claims
in advance? I know you can't stop anybody from suing you, but
are you saying you're gonna pay legitimate claims in advance of
any court process? We are paying legitimate claims right now and
so yes, I am and obviously we can't keep from being sued. But
yes, we're we have said exactly what we mean, we're gonna pay
the legitimate claims. Okay, so if it's a legitimate claim a
harm to the fishing industry, both short term and long term
you're gonna pay we're gonna pay all legitimate claims. If it's
an impact for business loss from tourism, you're going to pay,
we're going to pay all legitimate claims to state and
local governments for lost tax revenue, you're going to pay
question mark, long term damages to the Louisiana fishing
industry and its brand. I can't I can't quantify or speculate on
long term. I don't know how to define it. Additional troubles
from depleted fisheries to recover in their recovery. We're
gonna pay all legitimate claims, shipping impacts, legitimate
claims, impacts on further drilling operations. I'm talking
about things now that were part of the Exxon Valdez. So I guess
what I'm saying is, I think the American people are most anxious
about this.
You know, John, I couldn't couldn't pick up on it. What was
the what was the repetitive word? It was hard. It was hard
to catch. Yeah, this is it's the same thing as the you are, you
are so right. It's the same script obligations, as the
President said, and legitimate claims. This was all set out.
Clinton, I believe, actually set this in motion. This is all it's
all been determined. What a legitimate claim is the there's
a cap on these legitimate claims. You're right, it is
completely all set up. According to a script. And they're both
reading from it. Now. Did you want to do something about the
dead zone? Or do I just go into my, my overview? John? Oh, boy.
Well, that's weird. That I, that I lose, John. Hey, now hold on a
second.
doesn't happen often. We don't have to wait as long as we used
to.
Hello, yeah. What happened there? That was weird.
Yeah. You said the word Clinton and then you got hung up on?
I did not I did not repeat did not hang up. That's weird. All
right. So anyway,
let me go over a couple of notes here. One, of course, you know,
saying yeah, we'll pay all legitimate claims. And all you
do as a person, your company, you say, it's not a legitimate
claim. I mean, who's defining legitimate claims a, b, this
thing was,
so this is what you missed when we got disconnected legitimate
claims has been predetermined as by the law. Remember, we talked
about this, I'll bring up the show notes from last week while
you're talking. You can read this online, the amounts, the
caps on the legitimate claims, it's all been predetermined,
these guys are not going to pull a single penny out of their
pocket. It's all it's all. It's all taken care of.
It's all bogus. But the thing that's interesting to me is that
unlike certain questions that he didn't answer, like you said,
question right there. You get the sense that, wait a minute,
this woman's trying to trick me? I maybe there's something more
to the script, and I don't know, but I better not answer that
one.
Bright. Well, and also, yeah, it wasn't a legitimate claim
question. No, it was some vague so therefore, you don't have to
answer it. I'm, I'm pulling up the sample. It's a scam. Well,
he, yes, it is. And, and let me tell you what the scam is. And
this is something that as I was talking to some of my insiders,
over the past few days, it all of a sudden, it dawned on me. So
you, what you have to understand is that oil is not continuously
being pumped out of the earth and into refineries and being
shipped around the world. 24/7 this is this is the big mistake
that we don't understand. The oil that is being sold today,
was probably purchased for 45 to $50 a barrel. And you have to
look at the inventory levels. If you really want to understand
what's going on. This has been going on for 5060 maybe even
longer than maybe 100 years. This scam has been going on. And
it's it's a it's a build it up and then pop the bubble, build
it up and pop the bubble. So what's happening right now is
everyone's holding on to their oil. They're putting it in I
think we've talked about this. They're putting it into tankers,
they're getting rid of it, right? They're dumping it,
they're putting it everywhere they can. This is why we see
tanks need to be built in Haiti. In fact, the Canary Islands now
the refinery there was just sold a bunch of guys moving in they
Yeah, we've talked about this, oh, they don't need to turn on
the earthquake machine, I guess they did it with cash, they just
bought it, they're going to end, which is another really
important shipping route for. So they're gonna have a lot of oil
and petroleum products stored there. It's all going to be
stored. And then we're going to see all of these things have
these you know, we have to turn off wells, we can't drill off
off the Gulf off the Gulf Coast, maybe we'll do a rolling
blackout or two in, in maybe California, that will be fun. Or
maybe we'll strand a couple of people, you watch how quick
people want their oil again, and then the price within six
months, we'll go up again, because there's no inventory,
we've got no oil, we have nothing. Well, you turn it all
off. We had, we have another crisis, some will have another
thing, we have to shut down some wells. And then these guys who
have this 45 to $50 barrel oil, they're going to pop it open and
say, Oh, here it is, and they're going to sell it for 100 bucks.
And then they'll start all over again. This is what's been
happening for decades.
Well, this happened during that run up where Goldman Sachs told
everyone that price oil was going to go to 200. And then it
collapsed and went down to 40.
Sure, well, everyone makes money on the way in their own way. And
Goldman Sachs is a huge trader in oil commodities. But I think
what's what's interesting when I step back, and I watch all this,
John, and I see everyone, you know, talking about oh, you
know, now we've got the the new climate change bill, it's all a
part of helping the oil. The I think the oil people really run
the earth now that I know, it's not
totally convinced of it. And you know that I have another
candidate. I only have one crackpot theory, but I think it
should be considered. Go for it. I don't think I have always felt
that the peak oil thing was all part of some giant scam because
there was about four or five years ago, somebody discovered
that, that there are bacteria that that are around and that
can actually produce pools of oil in a very short period of
time. Yeah,
the Earth is had the the the idea that the dinosaurs died.
And that's our oil. And that's it. I think you're right. I
mean, the problem is,
time can you was process. Yeah. And the whole system, our whole
global economic system is really so oil based that if we don't
realise that that's what that's what everything's about,
including the global warming crap and everything in between.
And it's all about oil and the people that we know that are in
the oil business. And in fact, the entire economic hitman book
is nothing but oil, it's oil and mineral resources are in the oil
is everybody's renewables, but us between we have to beg these
oil people to get send us some cash once in a while. But the
fact of the matter is, I think that the oil industry is just
runs everything.
Yeah, and this is what people have been kind of tricked in
mind controlled into thinking that, you know, we actually can
do something with solar and wind, yeah, but it'll take you
know, 75 years to get the infrastructure in place to get
everything running efficiently enough, we are an oil based
world, that's it's just, that's just it, you can't like decide
that all of a sudden, we're all gonna run on batteries, or you
know, or, Oh, of course, my anti gravity, gravity, gravitation
machine will help but it's just the way it is plastic.
Everything is is petroleum based, paint, everything the
whole world is based on oil. And the only thing that is
contributing to with all of these quasi initiatives is to
prop up the indices that create these bubbles of oil and make
these people Richard, look at look at the Russians, you
actually sent me a Wikipedia link to one of these, one of
these dudes that just name
the guy, this guy. I know. You know, the reason I came up with
his name, and I sent you a wiki. I can't remember his name, but
he's the guy who owns the New Jersey Nets. He's a big Russian
character who they had a big special on him on 60 minutes.
Why would they have a special because the guy
owns 60 minutes. These people own everything.
And so the reason I got the guy's name, and you know, he's
on 60 minutes, so they praised him. And he's a now he's going
to try to get LeBron James to play for the New Jersey team.
And he's going to all these different he's today's lavishing
money. He's known for being a partier. And he's like, he's
like, worth $14 billion within just a couple of years. I mean,
when he, I mean, he's been around for a while, but he all
of a sudden becomes a super rich Russian and it's always suspect.
And but I think he is personally handled by Hill and Knowlton.
Yeah, of
course. I know. Mikhail Prokhorov is his name. And it's
Elon
Knowlton handles. Here's my favourite. Here's the things I
always consider. Hill and Knowlton handled the tobacco
industry and kept them above you know, until they dropped them
there until the hill the note left. Tobacco is doing just
fine. I mean, killing people. But you know, I guess I couldn't
pay the bills to Hill and Knowlton. So they bailed out and
then the next thing you know, they're in trouble and you have
to pay $1 for a cigarette. Hill and Knowlton is also behind the
Global Warming scam.
Yeah, so if you've ever Ever been to? If you've ever been
anywhere where they're their yachts, and and I've been on a
yacht or two in my life and these yachts, think it's like
100. And by the way, I didn't pay for myself. Yeah, you can
have sleep 20 people on it. And it's like $100,000 a week to
rent and you're like, Wow, I'm living the life here. And this
thing poops jet skis out of its butt am is amazing yacht, right?
And then all of a sudden, the real yacht pulls up from one of
these Russians with two helicopter landing decks is a
$300 million boat.
The Edit of those big yachts have got yachts in in the yachts
in the other yacht? So,
submarine usually so and I think, John, you and I both
know, we love the Earth, we love breathing clean air, we'd like
non genetically modified food, we'd love for everything to be
clean. But all of the I would have to say almost every single
initiative that governments put into place, like the Global
Warming scam, you know, and we are
the food Modernization Act, are they taking milk off the market?
All of it is to enrich someone and I am really feeling like,
well helpless in a way. Why don't we just give up? We should
just not play the game anymore. You
could actually do that. But unfortunately, or fortunately, I
think we are being true. Our donors and our supporters, we
are having to carry the flag forward, which we would do do
gladly. So anyway, so it is depressing.
Yeah, it is. But it when you really step back and understand
the game. And you're so right when you say they're reading
from a script, because this whole thing, you know, we this
this whole Gulf disaster, it is part of a script. And yes, it's
bad. And yes, it sucks. And and yeah, no one wants their water
polluted. But the way it's being played is only to shut down
drilling, shut down smaller players, let the foreign guys
the Chinese and the Russians expand. They are expanding. You
know, I have documented proof of that links in the show notes at
no agenda show.com. And it's just to make them richer, and
it's it is not a market with the free flow of these commodities.
They shut it off. We know. I always laugh when OPEC is so
small at this point compared to what Russia and China is doing.
But I always have to laugh when you read like, Well, yeah, we've
allowed OPEC to limit their supply to raise the price.
Remember, they used to read that all the time? Because they have
a bit more money.
That's what they do. They know it's all corrupt.
It's a total game. It's not. It's not like your your
representative in Congress will say for short term gain for a
quick profit. No, this is long game. These people play on years
and years and years. And politics. They laugh at
politics. That guy Pincus Green, who was telling you about who's
in Zook, they've been doing business with Iran right now in
Iran, the largest oil refinery in the world is being built in
Iran. They already have a big one. It's being expanded. It's
going to be huge. And the reason why you hear this, this sabre
rattling is shut up slave Iran, you'll do what we tell you. And
either you play ball with us and you let us trade with the trade
through your refinery and run everything through you or we'll
just nuke the the part where the where there's no refinery, and
we'll take care of you that way. It's all about oil, Afghanistan.
Yeah, the poppies are important for the CIA, etc. But it's still
about the huge amounts of natural gas they have. It's
about the pipeline that's running through Afghanistan.
Okay, play the jingle. Which one Adam Curry's pet peeve of the
day I think you've made your point. Yeah. Let's go off to a
little love.
So let's
not like the topic won't be revisited. No.
No, I just want to make sure everyone knows that this is a
game and all we're going to do is point out the actors point
out the scripts good
and bad. Although it's like this, so what so I got a couple
of clips to lighten things up before we finish kind of lighten
things up. But I think it's interesting that the law and
order by the way has been taken off the air I know Oh, what are
we gonna do for clips? And I think it's all because of the
fact that they turned on the global warming thing a few shows
ago.
Yeah, you know, that is interesting because we played
the clip Oh,
incidents?
I think not. You want to die? I can't get to it. I'm blind. I
could run the draw the non blind.
Yeah, but you know, when you? Yes, I do.
So let's play a couple of things from the recent launch. Oh, With
an ad Sharon Stone first I'm going to play bad acting just
plain bad act and don't play the other one just says bad acting
677 677 That's the size of the clip.
42 seconds would that be right? No, no bad acting. Okay, I hope
this is the wrong salad and killed his kids. I want to know
why. What do you got? Well, for starters,
Frank has been lying to you said he's a sand hog hasn't worked
since last summer. And take a look at his financials.
They're a complete mess. he cashed out his 401 K to live on.
He's underwater on the house. And looky here, it was insured
for the full value $1.1 million.
Frank have any record of fraud. criminal record is clear, never
filed an insurance claim in his life. But
Emily Sullivan has, as soon as she turned 18 She took out a car
loan. Six months later, the car was reported stolen and torched
under the BQE total loss. And the insurance company paid off
just in time. Is this trying
to tell me that Sharon Sharon Stone is not a good actress is
Yeah. Is that where you're getting that?
Just a little bit? Total Loss? Looky here told.
I guess. Martin Scorsese telling you what to do. You're probably
going to be looked pretty good on the screen.
Hey, Sharon. uncross your legs again. Oh, yeah, that's great
acting baby. Yeah.
But here's what here's what got me the bad acting, which is the
second clip and I'm not going to say what it is but you're gonna
hear it because we talked about this last week we talked about
this attack, you know, that is not about reading people the
Miranda rights it's about getting rid of them. And this
little ditty in here was just put in by the government.
Wish Shankman wanted to talk to a guy named Miranda ruin that
for both of us needs to be present.
A guy named Miranda ruined it he ruined it we gotta get rid of
that guy named Miranda it really sucks.
That a piece of propaganda is the crapper. What is that to
you?
I would just like to mention a brand new television programme
John which is coming June 20 TO SHOWTIME called darker me. And
this is a show you and I will watch in fact I shall send you
this link through the Skype back channel. You need to have this
because you need to see the poster for it. A new Showtime
reality series hotter than housewives. Cool is L the real L
word? Oh my God now bringing us a reality based series of six
condom six hot looking lesbians
do Showtime is you know somebody said they're going to start a
gay network you know and they were going to do this and cable.
I've said Showtime has been a gay network for for decades. But
the
crazy thing about because I immediately go to Mickey I said
Okay, any one of these is good. Bring her on in and she's like,
Honey, this is fake. This is not what lesbians look like. It's
not real lesbians.
No, you gotta go look at Napoletana
like what what so what is this all about this besides great
entertainment?
It did this is this produced by Howard Stern.
Does it say that? No, no, I'm just gonna watch a preview. Oh,
I didn't know there was a preview available. Let's listen
to the is there an actual preview or is that just faking
me? No, no, I'm playing it says watch Preview i click on it. It
does nothing. It's like it's meant for me just sit there and
click and go ha ha That's unfair. There's no preview watch
preview click on you see if you click on it if it does anything.
So I saw
was watching the soup.
I love that show.
And they ran a a teaser from the Tyra Banks Show. And you know
they produce these things themselves often but this
watching this one I'm watching this going this was Purdue this
had to have been produced by the Tyra Banks Show as a as a
teaser. Because it's just it's way too good but play the
shocking breastfeeds whose child on your man breast breast bone
on my nipples? husband with a vagina. He's all man like my
vagina. How do you stand up and pee? How to do it if you can do
it to me first cousins who got married call him something
interesting. I call him my cousin.
It's funny. You husband. Yeah. Like that? i Sorry, said Tara's
Tyra
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that because I heard this
before. thing in the background as of walking around the house
and I heard this teat. I heard the man this is the guy. Exactly
It was a woman just got a sex change. It's crazy. It's dumb.
So it
was really stupid. Although one in me. Yeah.
Yeah. Although I wouldn't mind having a promo like that.
No, we did actually one of the promo styles although I still
liked the Honey Bunches of Oats a little more, it's more lively.
Here. I got one for you. This is the kind of story we've been
waiting for and waiting for. And finally it arrives and finally
it arrives placed chef murder.
Okay, we do have new information tonight in the case of a
celebrity chef arrested and a murder for hire plot in Southern
California. Police arrested the Food Network's Juan Carlos Cruz
on Thursday accused of trying to hire homeless people to kill
someone. Well, tonight we've learned that someone was
actually his wife. Cruz is a 1993 graduate of San Francisco's
California Culinary Academy. He worked as a pastry chef at the
Stanford Park Hotel in Palo Alto for a time before rising to Food
Network fame. He's being held on $5 million bail and is due to be
arraigned on Monday.
All right. So we've been seeing we've been seeing drama after
drama showing a chef murder situation we finally finally
have a real
one. Oh, that's fantastic. I love it.
Now the one last clip I have to do has to be played well.
Hold the last clip for the last thing. I just want to run
through three items. So we can get out of here and make sure
we've covered all of the important stuff because there is
something there are some things going on. That need mentioned
Gitmo nation down under report that you may have seen as well,
John, parents are being paid cash to subject their kids to
drug trials. Mainly vaccines. Well, yeah, started with this
bad. Yeah, this started with h one n one. So so they're
actually giving GlaxoSmithKline I guess, is the lead company
doing this? Giving parents money. And let's face it, who
couldn't use $900 in cash? If you got a couple kids, what else
are they good for? You know, just hand them over to
GlaxoSmithKline let them shoot them up. So that's, that's a
very bad thing happening down under the same time. There's a
new vaccine for a horrible pregnant woman ear disease
amongst Aboriginals. That they've, for some reason, now,
they've they needed a vaccine for that. I think they just want
to finish them off. Yeah. Haven't they've been trying to
get rid of the aboriginals forever down, though? Yeah. It
says, Oh, hey, we got this vaccine for that eater disease
you have, we'll just shoot you up with this. So say goodbye to
the indigenous people. The
they won't take this shot.
I don't know. The parent had the a lot of people emailed this
story about all of a sudden the mysterious fungus hitting the
Afghan opium harvest. Yeah, reducing the harvest by up to
33%. Love that number. 33.3% To be exact 1/3 Which, of course,
will raise the price of heroin, which is good, because let's
face it, the CIA needs more money. So there's a couple of
links about that in in the show notes. And of course, everyone
out in Afghanistan is saying well, shoot, you know, this, of
course is the NATO guys this is they've even threatened this
going back to the 90s. They even said, Oh, well, we got this
stuff. We can just wipe out all of your opium. So everyone know
and by the way, what is going on with this telegraphing again, of
Kandahar? I don't know. Because because we are did the helmet
there was Helmand Province, right or do we do Kandahar?
Which one did we do?
I don't remember it. But I think we did both? No, no,
because now even the government is saying well, we have this
big. We got this big push coming up for I think it's I think it's
Kandahar. And
I think it is Kandahar because I just I in fact they do have a
clip about this kind of that. I think they were talking about
Kandahar
just saying it oh in it like two or three months we're gonna go
to go into Canada's like, why I don't understand what kind of
war is this where we send a memo? Hey, we're on our way.
We're on our way to Kandahar, just so you know. Get ready, go.
Yeah, Ed set up. We're coming to come in. It's
like Ted Koppel. I like to warn the filius that we may be going
over time.
Exactly. It's just like that's it's very weird.
Well, here I got a I got a clip here. You got to play that as it
relates to this system. McChrystal portray us anecdote
this was McChrystal wearing by the way, but we haven't heard
back from our men in uniform about the generals uniform. But
McChrystal, by the way, has the exact same uniform as portray us
as the same cut is obviously, he's obviously a kiss ass. And
he's got the same metals, he's got his load up with mail, he's
got the same exact thing. And then he tells this bogus story,
which is actually one of the most insulting things I've ever
heard anybody do. If you think about the nature of this story
about the let them eat cake, kind of an attitude towards
things play this McChrystal Patris it this was at a press
conference that McChrystal gave this last week, I'm absolutely
confident that we are moving forward. I already see progress
in it. Because I've been up and spent the night in Oregon job
about a week ago. So I see and feel that, but it's a process
that will that will take time. Could you walk down the street
in Kandahar? I just walked down the street about a week ago,
David Petraeus and I next each other and he bought bread and
distributed it to all the people in the neighbourhood. So he's
more popular than I am right now. And kind of hard but Oh,
please,
I autographs and pictures. And I got me some groupies there and
Kandahar.
Yeah, but but tres is more popular. And now Brad? Yeah,
here's where they stopped eight to two of them walking down the
road. It's a bread sell. Bakery bought some bread for the
peasants. I was tossing back guests as they were walking
down.
You know, just on top of that, there's this new metal and we've
talked a lot about all these guys. Actually, they deserve a
medal right now. There is a new one. Reading from the Navy
times. US troops in Afghanistan could soon be awarded a medal
for not doing something I heard about this precedent setting
award that will be given for courageous restraint for holding
fire to save civilian lives. So you now get a metal for for not
shooting for handing out bread. Yeah, this is what went on. Like
hey, man, let's get that new metal. Yeah, I need that metal
from I am a uniform. Let's go ahead no bread here. Peasant
have some buget. Bug get? So even even the troops like what
what do I do now? You know, am I supposed to?
Do I want the metal or not? Do I go for the metal that do nothing
metal?
This is crazy. I tell you I crazy. Just totally nuts. All
right. And and then finally, I do not want to overlook the
United States of Europe. As the everything is heating up now.
And I John, I think that if we look at what's happening in
Europe. And by the way, it's I think it's actually the missing
I think it was the Bloomberg who had the best report on it. I
have a whole bunch of notes and links in the show notes, no
agenda show.com. But now everyone is basically saying And
wow, it's not like we weren't talking about this when the
Lisbon Treaty was rammed through without referendum in in 99% of
all the countries that were jammed into this saying, Well,
you know, because we have this huge financial problem, I think
we really need to work it out. So that well, you know, it has
to kind of be like a centralised taxing system. Because you can't
you it's like, we have to have some kind of what do you call it
like a central real central government kind of because we
don't have control over all these debts? You know, so you're
at this euro thing? Well, yeah, yeah, it was it was to make
changing money easy. But really, we need to have like a real
government now and a real a real policy of attacks and spam and
the real budget and not just this, you know, one or 2% that
the European Parliament resides over, so not so they're moving
it in it's either a the whole this is this is what your
choices will be prediction, get ready to play the jingle in a
year from now. Either you you face Armageddon, financial
Armageddon, whatever that means. I guess it means we all die. Or
you let the elite of the world create a real government in
Europe, which really runs the whole show because they're
saying it right now blatantly and if not, well, France is xr
cosy, saying oh, we're gonna pull out of the euro. We don't
want any part of that. Friends France and Germany. John, you
are so right on about those two. They are pissed off at each
other right now. They are very angry.
Yeah, this is going to unite. Let normally would like to say,
well, this is going to be fun to watch. This is not going to be
fun to watch.
And I think again, in three years, your 2013 prediction? I
think you're right. It's either war, real war and it could
easily be the French and the Germans or it's going to be
total financial armageddon hyperinflation. Everyone's
effed.
Yeah, the war cycle actually should happen in 2020. There's
just be a build up. So yeah, okay, well, more Good news. I do
have a funny one but it's even though my last clip is not
really funny. Yeah, okay. Okay, this don't play yet this I'm
gonna set it up. This is the deer clip. This is what goes on
and I was talking to somebody the other day and they were they
were talking about how people have been so dissociated from
you even though they talk a big game about nature that they were
on some camping trip, and then they there's with parents and
kids and the one of the 40 year old men was saying, Well, we're
gonna go to the bathroom and I guess this is gonna go to a tree
says, You don't expect me to just pee on a tree, do you? And
he says, You do that and it just kind of naivete so we have a lot
of deer around the house in Washington and every one so they
things are pests by the way, so you shoo them away or you just
given eat but you know, they're they're pretty well anyway, so
the guest there was a fawn or some little dinky deer showed up
locally here in the metropolitan area of San Francisco Bay Area.
And this is what the result was
next 11 Shoot to kill local police corner last year then
open fire in the name of public safety.
Red bastard your al Qaeda, cada deer we're gonna shoot you
because that deer can hurt you.
They open fire for public safety it's a friggin deer we'll do it
again.
Next 11 Shoot to kill local police corner last deer then
open fire in the name of public safety
deer are you know it's hard to find them they're like afraid of
people they run away when you show up with or without a gun
for good reason. It's shoot to kill and kill all the deer it's
all over my goodness all right, it's a crazy world we live in
never ends which is good because that gives us the hope that one
day we'll be able to produce a third show in fact we do have
kind of a third show coming up donors of this programme in the
email by tomorrow sometime will receive a special link How long
do you think it'll last John before this link is everywhere?
Yeah, you know it'll go probably a little beyond but I don't
think it's gonna go everywhere. But you know people have till
midnight tonight to get the finally Deuce clubs.
Here's the prediction some jerk off on no agenda forums is gonna
go to donors and use pins paste this link here should be free
for everyone.
Well, that's you know what they do that they do that but the
fact of the matter is that didn't know agenda forms are
still only a few 1000 people are probably pass through it. So
it's not like it's going to everyone. Okay, the people who
get it first will be the ones who enjoyed the most. Yeah.
And all right. And of course, we'll be back on on Thursday
with our regularly scheduled programming. They're coming to
you from the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command centre in Gitmo
nation, West Southern California. Yay, owned by the
people. It's a republic. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where the weather is kind of I'm
John C. Dvorak
will talk to you again on Thursday right here on no
agenda.
