Could you please stop referring to assholes as my friend?
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak is Thursday, June
17 2010. Time for your Gitmo nation media assassination
episode 209.
This is no agenda now with
full time oil spill cam on your screen and coming to you from
the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command centre and Gizmo nation
Western the People's Republic of Southern California. Yay. In the
morning, I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley. It's a nice day again,
there's no oil here. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan buzzkill well in
the morning to your general Morning everybody. Coast to
coast and ships at sea.
That's my line. But yes, hello ships at sea end in the morning
to all you human resources. I hope you all
had some we actually have a listener who's on a ship at sea.
Yes, I know. That's why you stole my line. Of course. Yes. I
hope all the human resources on all nicely charged we need you
fit and healthy for another day in Gitmo nation. Ah, and we have
stiff competition today, John. What? Well, everyone is
broadcasting the investigation of CEO Tony Hayward. Live Live
Live. Have you noticed this? This guy just looks like that
British actor who always plays Tony Blair.
Is British actor. Yeah. There's a guy who plays a doofus British
guy on the 30 rock show. Yeah, he reminds me.
It's like It's like they called up central casting. And said,
Hey, man, we need something for the show that we've put on this.
Oh, we need
to people we need to do first. We need a Swede
send your headshots over we'll we'll test it.
We need a Swede who says a little people that small.
It's really unbelievable. What a great show. And everywhere every
single channel in the United States. I can't wait until the
new HBO series start. I think it all starts this weekend. They
start with what's coming up the entourage. And that new lesbian
show and you know, they're going to have a BP oil spill cam in
the lower right hand corner of everything is just you. It's
just everywhere.
Blah, blah, blah.
It's like, couldn't be any more obvious. They're trying to
communicate a message to you.
But I think this is all the part of the get Obama campaign.
Now I think the get Obama is part of the oil cabal campaign,
but I'm sure we'll we'll get into that.
And you know, if this thing keeps going on which apparently
now it looks like it's going to be yours forever, forever. Well,
no, they if they drill, they think if they drilled at least
two of these other wells nearby, they can suck enough oil fast
enough to stop the thing. Oh, but the whole will be there
forever. But that's
that's the whole joke, John. That's the whole joke. You see
the when they drilled into the volcano, because that's really
what it is. And I have some some evidence of that.
Save it for the second half of the show.
I don't know if we can save it that long. It's too good.
Okay, no, that comes out hot boiling. Well,
I'm going to ask you some chemical questions. And of
course, as a former chemical, environmental testing engineer,
specialist, you might be able to answer some of these questions.
I probably can't know. I don't know. I don't have my merch.
We've seen it. Somebody sent me a merch index and I totally lost
it in the house.
You don't you don't need it. It's really simple here. Well,
you can start Googling. Hold on. Oh, that's
a good idea. I should do what you do a Google. Yeah, that's
all I do during the show. So it looks smart.
hydrogen sulphide.
Yeah. What about hydrogen sulphide?
Well, you tell me how good that is for you.
It's not well, it's it's very similar in the way it acts on a
person as carbon monoxide. It attaches itself to the red blood
cells and then you just kind of die. Right again, the oxygen.
What's also nasty about hydrogen sulphide is that in high
concentrations, toxic concentrations, which is one of
the reasons it is all over the oil refineries, by the way, in
toxic concentrations. You can't smell it because it's sensitised
it's something to your smell or right sensitises Your nose and
so you can't smell it. So you actually had if you walked into
it, this is the rotten egg smell that you get. Is that what it
is? Yes, that is in fact when you when you fart a rotten egg
smell that's hydrogen sulphide really
so so it's it's a it's manmade.
That can be if you have your bed eaten it will be You know, over,
you know over hard boiled eggs or things like that.
Oh, that's that's meant I had no idea
when it was sulphur compounds can turn into hydrogen sulphide
quite easily. And anyway, it stinks. It smells like rotten
eggs and the but it real high concentrations it desensitises
Your nose receptors, and you can't smell it at all it take
one deep breath or drop dead.
Right? Very tough. So yeah, that's what seems to be
happening now.
parts per million,
you know when you say Right, yeah, it's 5200 shot at 50 to
200 parts per million is when you die. I don't know what the
number is. That's what I have from the EPA. That sounds low.
Really, more than that.
Maybe it'll be prolonged exposure at that level, perhaps
right. If
you're cleaning the beach or something. Maybe Yeah, okay. All
right. Well, we can talk about that later. Why don't we start
off? Oh, please tell me the point of the question. Well, no,
would you want me to save it for the second half of the show when
I go crazy? No. Okay. So why don't we tell me we have someone
supporting today's show, please.
Oh, yeah, we do. But I didn't open the spreadsheet. Hang on a
second. Okay. Well, who I forgot to do something. At least we
have someone supporting the show.
Man. Yeah, I but I this is the worst week we've ever had.
Oh, of course, and I probably can tell you why.
No, I don't think so. Okay, I
don't even know what I was gonna say.
I whatever you're gonna say is not probably not
true. Okay. You've done the analysis. You've done the work
you've put in the research.
Yeah, it's partly somewhere in partly the
well, I guess it's a safe room. We
haven't been we haven't been sending out any mail and you
know, the people are wondering where we are. And if people know
I like to see what our numbers are. But we do have a when an
executive producer. Okay. Robert, gosh, go out of Sherwood
Park, Alberta. A Canadian. Nice. We have no American producers of
any consequence. And you
know, and I'm actually okay with that.
I have to I wish we had more from Zurich. Hi, John. And Adam
has been a longtime listener, first time donor. So he requests
to be deduced. Oh,
well, we'd be very happy to comply with that.
You've been deed deuced.
Now he gave us 200 bucks and he took over the place.
And do we have an Associate Executive Producer?
Oh, no. That's it, guys, is Robert is the guy who took over
the place?
Well, we do of course want to thank Andrew McKinnon, who was
the series producer for the month of June did his check
clear by the way.
I had hadn't checked. I didn't go to the bank this week.
I don't think we should do that anymore. No, no. secret about
it. We don't need to delete it and talk about it on the air.
And I feel like we needed to talk about it on the air.
Well, we should have talked about that off the air during
the meeting.
That'll never happen.
All right. Well, thank God for gizmo nation, great white north,
We highly appreciate the support from Robert Gosh, go today $200
As our executive producer for no agenda, Episode 209 You're
keeping us on the air that is highly appreciated. Of course,
this is a real credit that you can use on your CV. It has been
known to be recognised in show business circles as something of
great merit, and of importance. And for the rest of all the out
there especially you in the chat room, it is time once again to
come up with our mantra and our formula. Our formula is this. We
go out. We get people in the mouth. And it can also be a
karate chop if you feel like
everybody now shut up, sit down and watch the oil spill cam and
feel threatened.
So on today's show, we have a number of things to discuss.
Yes, and it's gonna be interesting. They all related to
the oil spill except of one or two items I have no
I think the entire everything in the world at this point, for me
is just relating to oil. It's like it's all anything anything
and everything I can somehow within one paragraph in my mind
can relate it back to oil. Everything that's happening.
It's all about oil. It doesn't mean we can end the show the
series can be over.
We actually we do have a long clip. So we want to get the show
over with about probably 10 minutes early because there's a
10 minute is eight minute clip from Jon Stewart that I thought
was the best although Stuart kind of I think didn't let he
kind of maybe didn't he may have ruined the flow a little bit the
way he handled it but probably some of the best work I've ever
seen on The Daily Show in my life. A
mos is basically been around my life, but it's been around for a
while.
And it is a kind of a gathering of quotes about how we're going
to get off foreign oil that go back to Nixon every single
president saying pretty much the same thing, including Brock. And
it. He's got I don't know how much work they put into this
thing. They gave it a long time on his show, because eight
minutes is most of the show. But it was the amount of research
that went into pulling these clips was astonishing. I mean,
it was a jaw dropper.
Okay. Well, I don't watch Jon Stewart. It's I think it's too
late. 11 o'clock, right. It's not too late for me. It's
on it's four. It's on. It's six. It's on a 10 Oh, it's
that John John Stuart channel,
right. It's Comedy Central. Show stuff over and over. But anyway,
the point is, is that I don't want I you know, I've actually
put him back on the on the DVR because he's got since Obama has
turned into kind of a punching bag. a punching bag. Exactly. He
Stewart is up. You know, he's back on his on old form. You
know, he needs to he needs that he needs to Yeah,
well, that's right. I mean, it was great when Bush was
president. And and it was funny, because he had this enemy. And I
guess now Obama is his new enemy.
Yeah, not only that, but I got a couple of other clips. I decided
to let lean left this week and listen to all these, these some
of these shows. Like I decided, I realised that joy Bay Harbour
Oh, no. I mean, she is be on I mean, this is supposed to be
this is off of CNN. And they let somebody like this was just a
blatant promoter. Well,
technically, it's HLN. So it's, it's your it's your world in 20
minutes is, it's what all the young kids are watching these
days to get their news, HLA.
They had a lot of Miley Cyrus on the show, that's for sure. You
know,
should we just do this real news for one second. And now back to
the big distraction, which came flying across the wires
yesterday. Is that celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, posted an
upskirt of Miley Cyrus who is of course a minor minor Cyrus. And
he could go to jail. This is the big the big flap. So to speak.
Yeah, go to jail for being a kitty. pornographer.
Yeah, and you know what? For once, I think that would be
great.
Hey, this is a busy going to put it to the test.
I've put Mario londero Jr. I've I've met with him. I had a
couple meetings. Mario lavandera Jr. Perez Hilton. And I can
safely say 100% He's a real dick.
Yeah,
I think most people would agree with that. But I mean, not just
for the stuff he does, but just as a person, like, Ah, you're
scary. Okay, so, do you want to do a bay heart clip? Is that
where you're telling them? No, no, I
want to put the bay heart clip when we start talking about
Obama's speech. Because you're gonna talk about Obama's speech
I believe right?
Yes, well, there's a couple of things you want to you want to
get right into that because the weird thing is I had a pretty
pretty
let's finish the Perez Hilton thing well that's
it I mean, you know it was a distraction it's just the
distraction everyone's talking about it but there's been no
charges there's there's nothing you know, no one has gone to the
Feds we could do it. We could go and complain we say hey, we
think this guy should be in jail.
This shows how stupid the sex laws are anyway so fat talking
about how stupid the sex laws are there are trying to
indoctrinate us we've talked about this before about nudity
is pornography and you know, you know the point is is that and
I've actually asked some some some prosecutors about this and
this is this is an absolute fact. If you draw a stick figure
stick figure and put an arrow pointing to it and say naked
eight year old you can go to jail. You could go to jail and
exact same exact same no difference exact same stick
figure right and put an arrow to instead nude 18 year old. That's
okay.
Y'all we should so throw this jabroni in jail.
So I mean, yeah, I mean, apparently I mean, so. So the
kind of propaganda that comes out play the clip on their clips
to streaker as sex offender.
Oh, yeah. Oh, this is of course. Oh, please don't be streaking.
Hey,
that dirty handkerchief you throw on my desk. Turns out
there was actually some verifiable DNA on it. Ryan
Winkler had to register as a sex offender after a streak and
drunk and naked through the city.
Come on as a crime
yes
go bust a pump
what is what is that from?
That's great it's from a kind of a cop comedy which i By the way
think you'll probably be the end of these cop shows a very well
structured cop comedy called the good guys which just
right that just day bond right let's go bust and punk damn
streaker you know it's funny but it's not because I'm sure you
can get you'll be ready you'll be arrested and have to register
as a sex
offender in the park. Now this is the you know, the idea is you
I think you've brought this up. There's so many paedophiles
within when you see a judicial guy or a legislator pushing this
sex offender stuff is generally because he's a paedophile like
everybody in the country, a sex offender and you can get away
with a picture that kid on a bearskin rug. You know, that's a
sex offence now, streaking somehow as a sex offence peeing
in the parks a sex offence, then the real the real rapist sex
offence offence, paedophile creeps can hide in plain sight,
right? Which is what they do and they're at the highest levels of
government and justice. And people sometimes look at me like
Are you out of your mind? Are you insane? And like first The
answer of course is Yeah, because I don't want to get to
shot so please continue to call me a crackpot. But yeah, and the
centre of it is Gitmo nation lowlands. That's where they are.
They're sitting their highest levels of justice paedophiles.
And they drinker they took me off a radio station and took
down the whole station for me saying that,
yeah, good work. Yeah. But this is why we need to be used or
supported. And now I'm on the internet. Take us down unless
they take down the internet and we're not doing that. Well.
I hate the I hate to break it to you John. Have you heard about
the latest?
It's not news. What do you mean is not new about the fact that
Obama can flip a switch and kill the internet? Yeah, yeah, that's
been around for a couple months yeah, but
it's eaten up now because now the now those it's a true
proposal in the Senate.
Yeah, it's not gonna happen. Are you kidding me?
Of course it's gonna happen of course if we're if we're under
attack and I
got to do anything is too much Oh, they can flip it off or
reset it but there's too much commerce it would give the
economy would go into a tailspin and we'd be in a massive
depression
Yeah, but John you're missing the point. What do you think all
that Sam no secret sauce is in your Wi Fi router for that's
what it's for. For US Commerce will continue. But should not in
yours? Yeah. Right. Don't worry. It'll be at the head end or
whatever they call it.
The head end. So anyway, but I got a kick out of that streaker
clip because this woman she says that's you know, she says she
used the streetcars as a sex offender. And they were just
like, it's got nothing to do with sex. By the way streaking
never had anything to do with sex. So how are you a sex
offender? Okay.
My parents used a bit use you struck? Didn't you struck?
No, no, I was. I you were
the guy egging them on you were holding their clothes. Your
clothes. Go ahead, go Street, girl street, a
lot of girls Strykers.
Back in the day. Yeah. I mean, my mom used to joke about it.
That was like the big thing. And when she was in college, like we
go, we go streak at the football game.
Anyway, she got she says to the cop, he says is that that's an
offence? A sex offences. She says yeah, and then the GOP says
whatever. Yeah.
Go Buster punk. I love it as perfect. Da. Hey, John says,
I've got a break for a second here. So I had a pretty big day
Monday, on my deathbed, because I really had a horrible stomach
virus and amongst other Associated Diseases,
causing h2 s perhaps. h2 s. Oh, brother. A two minute call back
and you don't get it? Okay. Go ahead.
Oh, yes. Yes. H two S Yes. For real, I was intoxicating myself.
And, and so I was on The Howard Stern Show. And which I thought
was a pretty good appearance. And then you like well, and I
said, Well, what do you think? You know, I sent you a clip
like, I'll tell you on the show, anyway, tell you now so I
figured you've got something negative to say.
No, I didn't have anything negative to say it'd be nice if
that. You maybe mentioned your partner it because it was my
show my show my show.
Oh, Dave Weiner. Is that who I'm talking to? Oh, you're sorry.
Oh, hi, Dave. How are you?
Hi, crew have An MVNO you didn't mention this me vo your own
company even once. Really? Really?
I talked about the company a lot. Yes. No. Well, you know
what, let me tell you everyone knows it's me view because I was
a hot trending topic on on Google and you know what happens
when you're a hot trending topic on Google? People click on you
the spammers come out, oh, you get spammed? No well, so of
course like any good narcissistic person I have
Google alerts set up for my name. And so when you're a hot
trending topic then all these spam bots jump into action they
start creating 1000s of web pages with your name. Oh, SEO
guy oh my god and so I just got you know, email after email. I'm
like, wow, what's going on? And then you click on all these
links and like pulling you know Viagra all this stuff starts
popping up. It's completely GooglePlus is lame. There's it's
completely gamed the whole thing
is out of control. I've been bitching about this and I don't
see it ending.
So um, so first A weedwacker so first of all, apologies if you
feel slighted that that I didn't mention your name.
No, I just thought it was an opportunity that to mention my
name because I could use the publicity but
I'll tell you why. I well, your name
I and you didn't just say what the show was about which I
thought was a mistake.
Oh, God, you know, do you have any idea how careful you have to
be in a Howard Stern interview? If I had said what the show was
about then it would have ended very differently in total
disaster you cannot give the guy an inch if you give him a one
inch of anything that he can noodle into and tear you apart
over he will
well, you did a boy you know
what I'm sorry I'm feeling I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I did it now
fuck you Dave Winer maybe didn't mention me any other credit
me did you did give yourself all the credit
for what? I said we we are making
money you say my show my show my show is if you're like doing
this single show and it was and then you never said was about
selling a music show you're doing we didn't pick up any
traffic. We're monitoring in real time.
Oh yeah. I saw about 10 times as much traffic no agenda show.com
What are you talking about? You don't see any numbers What the
What are you talking about
what they were doing at the office? They were they were
looking for traffic spikes they didn't see any
you know, you're a fucking baby. You mentioned my name it Me me
me me. Yeah, it was you know I did in the morning. I got no
agenda shown
in the morning at the very end. You could have said it right at
the beginning you didn't do that. You the
fuck fuck you.
I'm just telling you. You wanted to commentary No, I
wanted commentary. Didn't want a baby to be like you. Oh. No, no,
no, that's it. No, that Yeah, that's right. That's right. You
know what? That's right. You know what they don't they all
say they're right. All I want is for you to suck my dick. That's
right. So yeah. Gary, Gary health care and free cell phone.
That's
it. This is the kind of thing we need more on this show. We need
some more support. People like it when we bicker.
No, I don't like it because you've seriously got me up all
the things you could have said of all the things you didn't
mention. My name is like my show my show my show. Well, guess
what? It is my show.
Okay.
Jesus Christ no wonder your kids are fucked up. Oh, brother, is
that homeschooling they're probably going to turn into
terrorists. At could be.
Are you calm down now?
No, I'm livid. I'm livid. I, I finally go out and I get some
real promotion for the show.
You could be I was in shows you do one thing once.
This is not one of 1000 shows. This is a show that
that you yourself say is marginalised. But in fact,
you've said it.
Ah, that's different than after? No, no, I said Howard Stern is
marginalised because the media doesn't talk about him anymore
has nothing to do with the fact that he has a huge audience that
is probably listening to us right now.
I would like to hear anyone in the two in the Twitter army or
I need any my friends to come and help me please tell me tell
me I'm right.
If you're just going to be this way about this, I'm sorry. I
brought it up.
You should be no. I mean, it's it's okay. For you to be upset.
I didn't mention your name. But I did that, but I just didn't
make it. You make it sound like
you. If you showed some consideration in the least. And
did one of two or three things. One you didn't mention me? VO
The entire interview. Well, that
was an oversight. I talked about the company the whole time. I'm
sorry. It was 330 in the morning. Sorry. Sorry. I talked
about what we do. I talked about the word helping people make
money. So yeah, that's a good point. Valid point. But I didn't
I felt it was not prudent to go into what our show was. About
without him asking. Because then Then he'd be like, Oh, what are
you like? Yeah, give you that. You know, you got to be careful
with these things. So I figured, you know, as long as they spell
your name, right, it's good press. But of course, they
didn't spell your name because I didn't mention you because it's
only my show.
That's the only three comments I had. The rest of it I thought
was a little boring. Boring. Yeah. Don't you think was
boring? He didn't have any good questions to ask. He just kept
grilling you about how much money could be made? He was
almost like listening to Charlie Rose when he gets carried away
with how much money you make. What does it feel like to be a
millionaire? The guy's got half a billion dollars. You should be
interviewing him.
No, all right. Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Because now now
it's put bad blood between us.
Whenever he goes, No, well, when you calm down, we can we can get
back to this show.
Now. Go ahead. I mean, since you're so important on the show,
please. Carry it carry it as usual.
I never said that. I carry the show. No, no, no. I just thought
it'd be nice. If you mentioned my name. Is that asking too
much? I always mentioned your name. I've done a number of
shows. Well,
because no one knows John C. Dvorak. Okay. All right. All
right. Well, I apologise. I'm sorry. I thought I did a good
job. I thought I did a good job for the show. And apparently,
when we started, I didn't see any carpet. Apparently, the name
recognition for the show is is not enough. I have to have a
checklist next time of people to thank and I want to thank you
know what you should. Thank you. And you're
letting you know how much time we're wasting on this.
I don't think it's wasted time. I have no agenda to you.
I'm just saying no, I don't but you'd seem to have one right
now. Just to be little me.
belittle you.
You called me Dave Weiner. What what's the most insulting thing
you can tell anybody? That's
exactly what Dave Weiner did when I did an interview about
podcasting that you didn't mention it again. What would I
do again?
You call me Dave. Why No, I'm
said I'm explaining why I'm making that analogy. Because
this is a complete repeat for me. When I was out promoting
podcasting, whiner got all bent out of shape that I didn't say,
Well, you doing a show with whiner? I didn't realise that
actually. I was
Yeah. Yes, I was.
And you talked about the show and you never mentioned him? No,
I was talking about podcasting. Well, that's different. Okay,
whatever.
I have respect for you. I have respect for your opinion and
your feelings. So if you were here, I'd hug you. And I'd say
I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.
That's just a comment I made. Yeah, that's okay.
Point taken.
So. So this is why we need your users do we need listener
support? Why are more of this Wi Fi? I hear ya man. I
hear radios all around the world turning off like
they never turn off that stuff. But talking about bad. Bad
acting. I got a clip for you. I didn't realise by the way. What
a crappy movie Rebel Without a Cause was.
You mean Marlon Brando?
No, with no James Dean.
I'm sorry. Natalie Wood. That was the wild one. I'm sorry.
Yeah. You know. It's black and white.
It's in colour.
Really? Was that not a colourized version you saw?
I don't think so. Though, but it was so grim that you would just
there's a bunch of movies I've seen that I imagined were in
colour or black and white. They when I went to see him again, it
was just the opposite.
Okay, so you have
the worst movie, I think and it's got so much praise and I
was watching part of it. It's it's just the most unbelievably
bad movie I've ever seen. I can't believe that and James
Dean. I don't see what the big deal is. Okay, it's my pet peeve
of the day you can play the clip or not.
Well, that wasn't a real good setup. I mean, do you want to
the clip of Rebel Without a Cause? You mean? Yeah.
You awake. Fancy something? Sure. Shoot him. Have you had to
do something?
Right? It's horrible. Before Did you just want to get to work?
Just wanted to go pee? Is that why you wanted me to play this
two and a half minute clip of Rebel Without a Cause? You know,
we have Netflix, Mickey insisted on getting Netflix. And I'm
like, Yeah, you're going to regret it. And you do regret it,
because the quality of the DVDs that show up are so crappy. But
we got Rosemary's Baby the other day. I mean, they're crappy, the
quality, they there's scratches on it, and then they get stuck,
and they don't eject. And there's always something with
these Netflix DVDs. Because you know, you get them from other
people. And they'll either use them as coasters. And so we
rented Rosemary's Baby, which is another classic. And like,
alright, slow, you know, I need like explosions and action
stuff. And just a story with old cars doesn't hit doesn't do it
anymore.
Okay. Yeah, I want to get back to Obama,
we must find a common enemy. That'll help. Go ahead what you
got here? Sure.
I found that I think the whole thing that did go about you, did
you get any clips from the speech?
I didn't pull anything from the speech because what I because
first of all, it's been played over and over and over again.
And I was thinking we could pull it apart. But maybe it's more
interesting. What happened yesterday. And the point and you
know, I don't have to play a clip for everyone to understand
the point. I think that what this so there was a meeting
between and this meeting included some amazing people, by
the way, I've I've done a little bit of work on them. So the
meeting between BP and the president. And so the President
comes out. And he says, Well, you know, we worked it all out
with BP. And this is just such an amazing astounding Great
move, they're going to put $20 billion, they're going to set
that into escrow. And by the way, the way this shows up in
the press is here's the Wall Street Journal, who you would
expect to do some proper journalistic reporting. Their
headline is BP agrees to $20 billion fund. Now there is a
tremendous difference between a fund and an escrow account,
particularly if an escrow account is administered by a,
quote, independent third party, which can only be a bank,
because banks keep money like that. So BP, first of all,
doesn't have $20 billion in cash, they have about 6 billion
in cash have looked at their balance sheet. So they said that
they're going to make immediate significant reductions in
capital spending, they're going to sell off some assets to
generate about 10 billion of the 20 billion in the next 12
months. And then they're going to figure out where they get the
rest from. So to put $20 billion into an escrow account, which an
escrow account is essentially it's a, it's a bank account. And
there's a huge document, which could be hundreds or 1000s of
pages long, which determines how the escrow pops and it can be on
either side, it can go back to the originator of the funds. And
to me, this is a brilliant move bps, like holy crap, we're in
trouble. Let's get the money out. So it's the most logical
thing to do is to get it out and put it into a bank account safe.
And we'll never see the terms of the escrow. We'll never see that
it's not a fund. It's not like a fund that someone administers
the fund. No, it's an escrow account, and no one's talking
about it. There's a fundamental difference between an escrow
account and a fund. So I think it's a brilliant move to
what somebody have to get a hold of the document that's,
that will never see that document ever, and then not
because that that'll be the smoking gun. And then to add
insult to injury, they put Kenneth Feinberg in charge of
doling out the money. KENNETH Feinberg. Really, this is the
guy who was in charge. While he's been in charge of a number
a number of payouts to slaves of Gitmo nation. He was the special
paymaster for the 911 Victims Compensation Fund, which was a
beautiful setup 98% Of all the families and by the way, we
don't know how much each family received because that was all
kept secret. taxpayer money kept secret as to how much they
received. You could only take your 911 compensation money. If
you signed an agreement that said you would never sue the
government or the Israeli security company that let the
terrorists so called terrorists onto the planes. So this is
going to be exactly the same thing. Hey, you want some money?
All right, come over here. Sign this document shut up, you can
never ever sue the government over the fact that you are dying
of what is it h 2k. What does that stuff? The
H two s h two s? Well, no, that wouldn't be the case.
Well, you can't sue the government ever, or BP or anyone
else for that matter, or Halliburton or any of these
other companies that are involved with this, just take
the money and shut up, and they put this jabroni back in charge
of it. And then when God does, and then who else was at the
table, Jamie Gorlick. Jamie Gorelick was, is the lead
attorney for BP. Now do a little bit of research on Jamie
Gorlick, Jamie Gorlick happened to be a 911 commission member,
the one who constructed the so called wall of separation that
kept the CIA and the FBI from comparing notes. Back when
Jamie's was with the Clinton administration, the whole Cabal
has been brought in for this thing. This is the biggest snow
job in history. And and I'll give you my theory on this. And
by the way, it's not like BP stock tanked all of a sudden how
they'd how they're doing today is BP like down and completely
dead? No, I don't even have to look. No way. Because everyone
who's in the game is laughing about it. Oh, this is great. Our
money safe, it's in the escrow account. That's good. So if we
have to go bankrupt, we'll just buy up all the assets, which are
just paper from BP that'll be that'll go to other companies,
these people are all invested in and the money's safe and the
victims at that 100 million dollar fund, which is an actual
fund. That's what people get paid out of. And by the way, we
also learned that BPS total liability as we've been saying,
on the show was only $75 million, they'd have to pay
billions and billions they weren't taxpayer money was being
used for that part of the $2.7 billion fund that was set up as
a part of the Environmental Protection Act under Bush. So
here's what's really going on these guys, they drilled into
something spectacular, something which is known as a biotic oil.
And that is, of course, only a theory that a biotic oil exists.
And that something I think you actually by, by darling, break a
leg. That's something that you actually believe in, as well as
that there is no such thing as peak oil, but a biotic oil that
deep in the bowels of the earth oil is being recreated so
regenerative process, and they drilled into this mother lode,
which was a very dangerous thing for them to do. And I think I've
mentioned this before, and Lindsey Williams actually is the
guy going around saying all this and he's been right before, but
when it comes to oil, you got to Google him.
Lindsey Williams. Yes,
Lindsey Williams. He was a pastor in in Alaska, and he
apparently got pretty close to a lot of the oil Cabal. And so
he's he's called a lot of prices, right? A lot of
different things. He's been extremely busy guys, like 7879
years old. Someone's calling me for some reason. So anyway, the
Russians hit this motherlode in the I was gonna say it was the
70s know, the 80s. And they drill down to 40,000 feet, but
they were on land. And so they were able to cap all this stuff
and stop what they had drilled into, because the pressure is so
enormous, BP did this. And it they hit the mother lode. And of
course, they don't have the technology to actually stop it.
The what they what they're trying to do is drill these
relief relief wells, because then they'll be able to syphon
all this awesome stuff up. That's what the relief wells are
about. It's not about relieving the spill, it's about them being
able to actually get into this mother lode and suck it all up.
But they drilled into something that has volcanic properties.
This is the centre of the earth. You know, they they drilled into
some amazing Big Bang thing. And it's way too powerful for any
blowout preventer device. There's no way they could stop
any of this and it is blowing out. I have a news clip for you.
Hold on did give me your assessment of this, John, you're
you understand these chemicals much better than I do. This is
oil concerns aren't just limited to the waterways and marshes.
There are also worries how the oil may be affecting air quality
along coastal Louisiana. Maya Rodriguez has that part of the
story. There are the oil effects you can see and the ones you
can't like when oil compounds break down and go airborne. We
don't want to be alarmist but we want to be realistic. For
several weeks now. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency
has been tracking what's in the air by using a mobile truck and
seven monitoring stations located mainly in St. Bernard
and Plaquemines parishes, they are looking for evidence of
several compounds, including hydrogen sulphide and volatile
organic compounds or VOCs, like benzene, which can cause cancer,
these pollutants could pose a health risk to local
communities. This monitoring is essential to ensure that
communities are protected. She
looks. She looks moronic, doesn't she?
She's, uh, yeah. She doesn't sound very bright either.
Now she's just reading
as BP takes direct response actions. All
can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and in some
cases lead to nausea and dizziness. So what have they
found some elevated levels, but not on every day and not for
long periods of time?
This is the interesting this is what caught my attention
elevated levels, but they fluctuate wildly.
The levels have not been that high. Is it something that we
want out there? Absolutely.
As a public health official, of course.
But it's pretty far off shore take hydrogen sulphide, commonly
known as swamp gas on normal level ranges from five to 10
parts per billion at the Venice station on May 2, the levels
recorded were 30 parts per billion. The next day, the
reading was nearly 40 times that at nearly 1200 parts per
billion. And the day after that it dropped down to 46, before
rising the next day to more than 1000 It varies
depending on the wind direction, depending on whether or not
they're burning the slick. I think what they're saying is
that it's an okay exposure for a short amount of time. And we
have a concern about that sort of exposure for any amount of
time.
So if you want to see the rest of that report, you can but then
on Democracy Now, first
of all, by the way, swamp guests, as far as I know, is
methane.
Well, I'm yeah, I'm not saying they have all of their ducks in
a row. But I think the data they have here from the Louisiana
Environmental Action Network, who analysed the EPA data is
specifically talking about h two s. And the levels found in in
the air which the fluctuation that is what I find interesting.
Now Democracy Now. And this is a long clip. So I'll just play a
little bit. Really, these guys, you know, talking about boring,
is Democracy Now is almost impossible to sit through. But
they do have some. In this case, they got a really interesting
guy on who's really telling the truth about what's happening to
people who are trying to we're down there some who have been
tried to assist with the cleanup, and they're falling
down. They're going into hospital.
That's why they were up people are rousting. Any news
reporters? They did
exactly. Well, it gets even worse. I think I can find this
piece I sorry, did have time to pull the clips. The guy says
that they had people with gas masks and BP wouldn't let them
on the beach if they were wearing gas masks, because they
didn't want you know, they don't want to don't want any news
footage of people wearing gas masks because they're dying down
there. That would make sense. And then these people go
straight into the hospital. So let me just let me just get this
guy on for a second because he's actually pretty damn good.
Association. He's a third generation shrimp fisherman.
This is Democracy Now. We welcome you to the studio's of
democracy now that we're speaking to in New Orleans. Tell
us what's happening, Clint.
Well, good morning. Thanks for having me. This is a situation
that has been ongoing for several weeks now. Having had
prior training and experience working with oil and chemicals
in oil and they're dangerous. Nice freeze in oil and they're
dangerous.
What does that it just started fishermen
out of the worksite they were complaining of burning eyes and
and strong smells. And my experience tell told me that
they were getting exposed to dangerous chemicals. The
benzenes all the light ends off the crude. And this correction
is a new experience for me. I have been doing some research.
It contains a substance called to view toxic
ethanol he goes into the whole correction thing but if you
watch the whole interview, I wish I'd bought that clip. The
central part is where he says you know I brought gas masks
down for my for my people who I've been working and living
with for years and BP would not allow me to wear the gas masks.
And then now there's like 1111 or 15 people in the hospital.
And there was also an email now this is dodgy, because of course
this showed up on above top secret.com but worth mentioning
This is from someone on one of the rigs that is either still
drilling or has been halted and they're still on the on the rig
everyone here is talking about but no one dares to say anything
about it even to their families. There's something happening
about 100 miles southeast of the rig with several navy and coast
guard ships. Friday, two serious looking dudes arrived and
started directing our SUP I don't know what sup is what is
this up? Apparently they showed Navy intelligence ID when they
arrived along with a dozen Commandos, rumours that now
going to call martial law all of us will be prevented from
leaving the chips to see our families. Things are going from
bad to crazy. Nearly everyone here is of the belief that the
blood was planned as a way to destroy a well that had too many
problems to be ultimately profitable. And to get two new
wells drilled that will be wildly profitable. And the only
way to do to do that was to destroy this when we calculated
the even with paying cleanup costs, the profit on two wells
in this reserve will far outweigh the cost in less than a
year. Yeah. And you're not buying it.
I'm not buying it because it seems it's like they blow they
do at 10 to 1122 people 11 people are killed. They lose the
rig, the whole thing blows up, and now they got nothing but bad
publicity and the stuff and it's and there's real oil coming out.
I mean, what's wrong with that? It just doesn't make sense to
me. Well, I
see. I think that this was really an accident. I think that
they did hit that I'm pretty convinced I'm sticking
with this Schlumberger thing. I think there was a poorly
constructed well, wellhead and they told him to shut it down.
They wouldn't do it. And the thing blew up and now they're
stuck with it. So I'm absolutely convinced is all there is to it.
When you think that this is just a normal regular old well, and
it couldn't be something
obviously this the Schlumberger guys I wish they would testify.
saw something about the thing was just an unstable situation.
I don't know. I don't know if they expect it to be one of
these deep, these one of these abiotic. Structures? I'm not
sure of all I know is I think they just it was a poorly
constructed well, and they were never slipshod. And the thing
fell apart, and now they're stuck with the with the
consequences, I don't think is a scheme of foot.
No, I Well, I don't think there was a scheme set up beforehand.
But I think they hit something really big. I think it is out of
control. I'm really gonna buy into this toxicity of whatever's
coming out is not just oil, but it's all kinds of volcanic crap
coming from the middle of the earth, and it's going to kill
everyone and everything down there. And the President, in his
speech, for all intents and purposes already killed the
whole region, because he said, Look, we're just going to stop
all drilling until he figured this out. Well, that could be
years. So it's done. It's over. And it's not just shrimp and
people do down there. Would you say that the shrimp industry is
larger than the petroleum industry on the Louisiana coast?
I don't know what the numbers are. It's my belief that that
whole region is pretty much petroleum. And in the seasons,
they go out and they do some shrimp. And
so there's reports now it's apparently some of these cracks
that this is this was the cement job. It seems to be part of it.
Here's a Bloomberg story just ran in the 17th. Apparently, the
BP was struggling to seal I love this BP PLC was struggling to
see which means it's just like you said a holding company
struggling to seal cracks and it's Macondo well as far back as
February, more than two months before the explosion took 10
days to plug the first cracks according to reports. Cracks in
the surrounding rock continue to complicate the drilling
operation during the ensuing weeks. On seal, they can allow
explosive natural gas to rush up the shaft. Yeah.
I'm not at all of this, to me is just bull. All I know is we're
being indoctrinated with spill cam video on every single
channel showing this gushing thing flowing out. The intent is
for they're turning this into a 911. They've brought in the 911
people said that they just pulled out the playbook. What do
we do again, I call call Kenneth. And bring him in. And
we know how to do we know how to do this. Only this time, it
wasn't an actual setup like 911 It was an actual accident. But
how do we not let this crisis go to waste? Well, let's kill the
region. Let's make sure we drill these two holes so we can still
get all of that oil. It'll go into a new company that buys up
the assets of BP I can feel exactly what's happening
already. It'll Buy it all up. And they'll they'll take over
those two holes and everything moves down to Brazil. That's
where all the new oil is. And then of course, they're gonna go
closer to Haiti and Jamaica, which are the new the New
Paradise and the drilling in Louisiana. It's all over. It's
done and please while we're at it, let's pass cap and trade.
This is a perfect opportunity, the vote I think one of the
first votes is coming up before July 4. So that's being
ramrodded through the President in his speech, you know
immediately takes advantage of the situation but we need to and
I love it when when everyone's talking about reducing your
dependence upon foreign oil is not foreign oil. This is us oil
sitting right there on the US shelf Oh, we got to reduce our
dependence upon foreign oil we got to drive electric cars as
stupid this is this is what they're going to use to try and
kickstart the green economy and then that the whole the whole
fix is in and then all of this bullshit all this theatre about
Halliburton or Schlumberger and who's to blame and let's put the
people on the stand why don't why don't I see the people from
the the minerals department of what does it mineral
mmm, management services? Yeah,
how come those guys on the stand who weren't like doing doing
coke and screw and hookers with the oil companies? Because
that's what that's what everyone says where are they? How come
they're not in the stockade?
They're probably screwing hookers
Yeah but that's it means ridiculous this they there's
oversight they had permission and licences to do this from the
government. No, let's let's put all these other people all these
actors let's put let's put them around
this somehow they were they're trying to blame bush for
everything. Course
and it was it was was was Lazar Is that his name Salazar
Salazar, who was Bush's guy of the interior and Obama just kept
him on just like Robert Gates of security six the Defence
Secretary kept all of the important guys on because that
was his job. It's just take the baton and walk with it. And
Salazar was all I'm gonna clean it all up I'm gonna have let's
get that guy on. Put that guy in the in front of television. What
were you doing
I haven't seen any of these guys. I did see marquee though
the guy who's behind cap and trade, grilling the oil company
executives and he came up with this very interesting thing. I
have a clip of it. Revelation that all their emergency plans
which they had submitted, I guess to MMS, were not only
identical, but totally bogus and kind of cut and pasted and
thrown into the eye. Nobody gave a shit. And the irony is of
course, Marquis brings it up now. He's the big energy nut
ball in the in the Congress pushing all this stuff. How can
we accommodate nobody noticed this before including him was he
bringing up after the fact you can play this market?
These five companies have response plans that are
virtually identical. The plan site identical response
capabilities, and tout identical ineffective equipment. The
covers of the five response plans are different colours, but
the content is 90% identical, like BP. Three other companies
include references to protecting walruses, which have not called
the Gulf of Mexico Home for 3 million years to other plants,
such Dead Ringers for BPS that they list a phone number for the
same long dead
expert. Yeah, no, I agree with you, John, that this is I love
that the we're now all of a sudden we're coming out with oh,
this well had these problems before this happened in
February. Well, how come the government is to blame? Of
course, these companies don't give a crap about anybody and
about environment are people we know we all know that. Because
they're all in the same game. They're all part of the same
cabal that now that just let's just push this actor out in
front it Tony, Tony Hayward, he looks pretty good. He has a nice
British accent and put him in there. And the President just
walks right over the fact that oh, you know, it was Minerals
Management. You know, that won't happen again. He promised when
he went in, he promised that he was going to clean all that up.
And Salazar was the guy who was going to do it. He was going to
take care of it all Secretary of the Interior, these are the
people that need to be blamed first, first. And if they didn't
read the plans,
they didn't let me get this straight. You got a Democratic
president, a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House of
Representatives. And so the first thing you think they're
going to do is go after themselves. Yeah.
It's more it's more about pointing out that it doesn't
matter. Democrat Republican, it doesn't fucking matter. It's
these oil. The P people behind the oil companies, they run the
whole show they run the world. They don't care. They really
they really don't care. And Obama is in their pocket. Yeah,
he all you know his stock is vested in. Oh, hold on a second,
let me find it for you. There's a there's a fund that the
President put all of his assets into when he became president,
which I think is normal. Right? If if you
Yes, usually a blind trust, right. Well, the
blind trust is Hold on, I gotta look at insiders here. Major
holders. There's two. It's Vanguard, Vanguard, Wellington.
This is what President Obama has. Has his money vested with
and they these guys own about 1% of all of BP. Vanguard, if you
put all of their funds together. They're all they're all. They're
all. It's like it's infuriating, yet not surprising at the same
time,
well, then So okay, so what do you what do you think's gonna
happen? Because all you've done is just bring up the fact that
the whole situation is corrupt. We're not being told anything.
Okay. I mean, you know, maybe they've struck a goldmine of
never ending supply of oil, or perhaps ruining the profit, you
know, you haven't considered this possibility. Let's assume
that a biotic oil is actually something real? Uh huh. Is it
possible that by drilling a hole into the main mother lode that's
supposed to be replenishing the pools that you're going to kill
the process?
No, I know, I think I think no, you don't. I don't Well, i i
Obviously I don't it's very theoretical about avionic oil.
But I do have a feeling that it's certainly possible. So it
may not be replenishing the other wells. But if it's a
process, then the mother lode keeps going, they drill to have
these relief wells. They put whoever BP is going to be
because BP will go out of business. That's just going to
shift over to another company. And by the way, BP was already a
roll up of what is it maybe 10 Different companies that rolled
up into BP, it's just like a big holding company. So another
holding company will come in, they'll own those wells. That is
the true mother lode, they'll just keep that stuff pumping and
pumping forever. Under the guise of there's you're not allowed to
drill so everyone else get the hell out. All the smaller
players get out of the Gulf region, no more drilling for
you. The new BP, we'll just call it that the new BP will be
sitting on the motherlode there'll be pumping, everyone
else goes off to South America, because it's dead. You can't you
can't drill anymore. It's all over. So everyone has to go,
that whole region is going to die, both economically and
physically because of the toxins. Because the end because
they don't give a crap. And the President's focusing you on the
shrimpers? Well, it's not just the shrimpers. And now we're
going to move into the natural gas phase. Because while all of
this is taking place, in Louisiana, we're seeing huge
shifts with Gazprom and Russia trying to supply all of Europe
with natural gas. They are about to we're gonna see another
accident or something. And I think it's going to be another
one these flotilla incidents. In fact, no coincidence that timet
Little Timmy Geithner came out yesterday with new sanctions
against Iran, but not just against Iran against all the gas
companies in Iran, because those guys have been working on a new
pipeline that they desperately need to stop because they Iran
was going to supply natural gas to Europe. So it's just shifts.
It's just tectonic shifts in who is running the show. And these
guys are all fighting each other at the top levels. Let me find
the give you the name of the pipeline, then we're talking
about Blue stream the other day.
No, I don't remember that. Yeah, well, yeah,
that was the original the pipe the blue stream, one was set up
by Enron.
Oh, right. The Enron pipeline. Right. So
hang on, let me Oh, shit. Crap. I didn't mean to do that. Here
it is. Now, I got a lot of people that I'm talking to about
this, and I really don't think I'm far off. On here it is.
I don't know.
Well. Here it is. The Nobuko That's it in a buco. Then you
can Google that one. The buco gasline and guess who's involved
into Bucco gasline turkey. It's supposed to go through Turkey
and then from Turkey into Europe. Well Guess who's the big
asshole these days Turkey. So they're trying to stop that.
Because it all has to come from Russia. So yeah, so I think we
can see this unfold. And you'll see that yes, this leak will not
stop. That's why we have the continuous loop video of the oil
wells, you can constantly be reminded it's going on, it's
going on, we have to have these very important BP vessels there.
And meanwhile, they're just going to be sucking it all up,
then they're just turning this into a complete benefit. Now,
we'll just drill these little holes here that we can manage.
We'll start sucking the oil there. We'll keep the continuous
loop rollin. There'll be rolling in the dough, because there's no
way we're getting off oil anytime soon. Not in my
lifetime. We're just going to keep it rolling. And, and
everyone else will be all consumed with the congressional
hearings, that I think that's what's gonna happen, and it will
not stop. It's the new 911 is what it is the new 911 and they
brought in all the same players.
Well, it's a grim picture you're painting.
Yeah, no wonder I'm pissed. And while we're on that, just to
show you how these cover ups work, because of course, I'm
sure in 10 years people will be talking about this as we were
talking about 911 today,
and still be going in 10 years. Keep the loop going. Yeah. Oh,
yeah.
The look. It'll be all scratchy and shit. Wow, I'd never seen
that before. There was a Freedom of Information Act just to show
you how ludicrous this all is member on 911 There was a whole
bunch of people put down options on American Airlines and United
Airlines and they made a huge amount of money. Killing is the
word a killing, literally a killing. So you know, this is
very interesting to find out, you know, who put those options
that on because you know, the timing is rather uncanny. Till
now this now we are almost a 10 year the 10th anniversary of
911. No one gives a crap. We don't even know that Jamie
Gorlick was on the 911 Commission, and that she's being
brought in by BP as a part of the dealmakers, they all sit
around the table laughing. David Callaghan, executive editor of
smart CEO, I guess a financial analysis firm submitted a
Freedom of Information Act request to the SEC regarding the
pre 911 put options, this is the gamble that something's going to
go down. Yeah, that'd be kind of interesting. No who had those
put options? The SEC responds with this letter is in response
to your request seeking access to and copies of the documentary
evidence referred to in footnote 130 of chapter five of the
September 11. Commission Report, because it was mentioned in the
commission report. We have been advised that the potentially
responsive records have been destroyed. Yeah, yeah. No, yeah.
That's the response. We have been advised that the
potentially responsive records have been destroyed. Sorry, shut
up, slave. Go away. And you know, how they were destroyed.
John. Do you know where they were,
during the when WT C seven is? Exactly. That's those were,
those were puts in calls had to be executed. And the execution
data has to be available somewhere because otherwise they
wouldn't have gotten their money out.
Right. But I'm just saying this is this is we'll be we'll be
looking at evidence like this. And 10 years from now. We'll be
looking back at this and there will be this big black mark on
the on Google Earth and that will be Louisiana. Everyone will
be dead. It'll be a complete no go zone. Because of the volcanic
properties of this crap that spewing out except for a bunch
of guys on new BP rigs with gas masks, and they'll be pumping
out the mother lode of a biotic oil there. That's my theory.
That's well
the meanwhile, the left wingers have Turned On Obama.
Which I think is probably I feels like, I don't know, it
feels like part of the setup. I don't know.
And the thing is, it seems to be the thing that triggered it. And
I have two pieces of infant documentation for this. One is
Janine garofolo And Ron Reagan Jr. on Bay har. Very good clip
actually
waiting for her to show up again. Do
you have what she's back? Do you have a sheet by the way does
this very interesting classic left wing what they're all feel
about Obama. And then of course, at the very end, she gives Bay
Hart a the needle for her coverage of Miley Cyrus. But
this is if you listen to the Bihar hen house clip, you will
get the gist of the way now that besides that, not only that, but
you get to hear exactly how Bae Hart is in in the Democrat camp
to the point where this is a show for the Democrat party. You
know, these guys want to change some of the laws about you know,
equal the what's the name of that law that I keep talking
that we talked about before Fairness Doctrine the Fairness
Doctrine this is this show here wouldn't would be off the air
instantly play it
here they're talking points that is so Bush, Bush, like, I It's
shocking that he's behaving this way. I don't know who's giving
him the worst advice in the world. I don't know. I don't
know why this presidency has been as disappointing as it has
been, it's I really feel like he's being advised terribly.
Now. There's the critics that will always criticise him and I
don't think it's even valid to entertain the Tea Party kind of
nonsense. And also that when they're say they don't like
government now they want government's hypocrisy, the
hypocrisy of some of his critics. He's not even really
worth discussing. And also what scares me too is that you know,
he's getting attacked from the left and the right he's, he's
really being attacked, I think a lot. And who's going to take the
place? Who will we're going to get instead of him? So it sounds
Sarah Palin clone or she herself? It'll be even worse.
Well, there's a new swing attack. isn't that scary?
Liberals are that's the dilemma for progressives and liberals is
you get somebody worse? If it's not Barack Obama, what do we
want him to do? What do we do about it? Yeah, keep keep keep
lighting a fire under him. Keep, you know, keep doing what we're
doing. Talking about. We
need me of all we can do really, I think media reform is
important that people really do get full of fair information and
more news about what's going on and how much more experienced we
need. Every station is news. Oh, yeah. But it's not good. It's
not that it's not well presented. There's no context in
history and nuance and complexity. They have all this.
He Said, She Said nonsense as if there is two sides to every
story, which there isn't. It would be great if these news
sources told the truth once in a while. That would be
interesting. Well, we tried to do our best here. Yeah, you guys
are good. You got that Miley Cyrus thing all wrapped up.
Okay, you won't be back.
So, all right, I think I know what's happening here. This is
actually this pleases me. This is the awakening of the American
public. Wow, this this actually all of a sudden, the kind of
just hit me. I like this. And it all it all kind of makes sense.
Of course, as Americans, we, and I'm a red blooded American. We
are, we love to be with the winning team. And then when the
winning team is no longer winning, we're like my fuck you
I'm gonna go with these other guys. That's what we always do.
And so despite cries out cry of warning, and I would say from
this programme as well. When we said you know, this guy may not
be what or who you think he is. Now all Bay har, of course.
garofolo says, oh, what's his advisors? Jesus pointed at it.
John Stuart, everyone who was way on board the Obama train and
all the love and the lights and the flowers and the people and
we are the world and Kumbaya. Now this is Matthews to is
really attacking. Yes. Now everyone's seeing that. Oh, wait
a minute, we fucked up by his by really supporting this guy,
because it's just more of the same. Say hello to the new boss,
same as the old one. And now they're all turning on him
because they want to protect their own ass because you
cannot, with even with a clear conscience support what's going
on? And I think it's an awakening Jonathan, people
saying, Oh, Jesus Christ, all that shit people were saying is
true. So I see this as a really good thing. And I do like the
fact is as big as do she is that joy Bay Harbour saying, Well,
what are we going to get? Well, thank you very much. That's the
whole point. It's a big club and you're not in a joy. None of us
are in it. They're all sitting there and their little club. So
I think it was good.
So yeah, I know, I'm not gonna argue the point. But the one
thing that kind of that kind of ticks off these liberals more
than anything, is seems to be Obama's reference to prayer,
which which Gruffalo referred to as a desert as a cheap thing to
do. And then Stuart took it to the next level, and I have this
Stuart clip, which kind of I think, summarises the, the kind
of a liberal attitude toward to what Obama said, We will do
whatever is necessary to help the Gulf Coast and its people
recover from this tragedy.
Okay. All right. So this was really a speech in the primetime
in the nation in the Oval Office, to give us an update,
little reassuring classic Obama is cool. Everything's under
control.
Tonight, we pray for that church. We pray for the people
of the Gulf. And we pray that hand may guide us through the
storm towards a brighter day
I got this It's okay. I gotta commit Assuming everything's
gonna be fine. May God have mercy on our soul. I mean, if
this is a commission based administrative problem, what's
the freaking talk? Yeah.
There wasn't there was something in the in his speech, he also
said, this will not be the last crisis America faces. You don't
say that shit. It's like why you got some plans and we don't know
about it speaking of speaking of prayer. Now, of course, this
would not be legible to play a clip. Now TV in Egypt, had
Egyptian foreign minister, a bull gate gate, I think it is on
translate to something called the roundtable show. And you
know what he's what he said. He said he had a one on one meeting
with Obama, which it gives you a couple months ago, in which
President Obama told him quote, he was still a Muslim, the son
of a Muslim father, the stepson of a Muslim stepfather, and His
half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and he was sympathetic
towards the Muslim agenda. And, of course, Israel today is all
over this. And they're freaking out about it. And you won't see
much reporting of this in the lamestream media here in the
United States. But I just thought that was an interesting
point to bring up when he's praying to God.
Yeah, yeah. Well, the there's a couple of new I don't want to
bring it up, but just a couple of new birth or things floating
around. Oh, yeah.
No, please do. I'm down. I didn't make
a clip of it. But there's a you know, it's just you could look,
it's on YouTube. You know, there's a guy that's apparently
worked at the records office in Honolulu. Oh, yeah.
No, I thought I saw that a couple of weeks. It's been out
for a while I think. Yeah, he
says all the I'm not sure. I can't use the newspaper unless
you can dig up unless somebody can find an old archive don't
did some I know what the exactly what the smoking gun is. And
it's, you know, it's a possibility. But unless you can
find an old somebody has a collection of the Hawaii sun.
The Hawaiian has a couple of newspapers there that have crazy
names. The star I think is one of them restart Tommy's bulletin
or something like that? They both the both the newspapers, of
course, you're done with the same publisher had the birth
announcement, and if somebody could find that, and there's
documentation showing it and so that's pretty good evidence as
far as I'm concerned. But if somebody can show that that was
planted after the fact, right, like, you know, five years ago
or three years ago or 2005 by finding a copy of the paper that
doesn't have it, because you know, the CIA has been known to
do stuff like
that. Oh, a reprint? What does it take? Yeah, nothing. Nothing
at all. Oh, yeah. reprints it done all the time. You go
in there, you take the paper, or you take all the copies from the
from their own archives, or again, it's called a morgue, Oh,
really. And you take the papers out, you've replaced them with a
new one, which is aged and looks old. And then you leave and
that's that's the way it works. But unless somebody can do find
a copy of the paper that doesn't have it, then I don't think
there's an argument to be made. I think the rest of it is just a
bunch of I don't even know why people are harping on it when
Lessing come up with that. That's the smoking gun and I
don't see any evidence that it exists.
Yeah, but it but that is also just a distraction, John. Okay,
so what so we've got the smoking gun. I mean, really, all all
these people all tied up. It's, we just, we really just don't
understand or can't. The lie is so big that we don't see how big
the game is. Well,
here's another big game thing which kind of came to I was
watching. Like I said, watching all the lefties this week and
watching your friend thumb. Hartman is your friend, my
friend. I have a clip that has nothing to do with any of this.
But it's just it's like, it's just like what?
Okay, this is on trading.
Yeah. Well, a few years ago on this programme, we were treated
to the spectacle, the fascinating, ongoing spectacle,
actually, of Congressman Brian Barrett, the Democrat from
Washington state who is has kind of packed it in. He's not
running for re election this year, discovering, virtually by
accident, a member of his staff told him about it. That over and
Tom delays office, this was back when Tom DeLay was still in the
House of Representatives basically running the house
representatives, that the staff members and delays office were
day trading based on inside information they had about
legislation that was coming up. So if they knew, for example,
that a bill was going to be passed or even going to be
introduced that was going to grant a billion dollar contract
to Lockheed Martin, they would they'd buy a whole bunch of
calls for login options to buy Lockheed Martin they would they
would bet on Lockheed Martin going up if and similarly, if
Lockheed Martin will was competing with Boeing, for
example, for that contract, they would buy quite the pilots. They
buy bats against Boeing. So Brian Baird looked into this
Congressman Brian Baird looked into it discovered it was
actually happening and time delays office that his his
office staff was making millions of dollars doing this. And that
there was nothing illegal about it. Now, when Martha Stewart
tried to do this, she went to jail just for lying about it. If
you were I tried to do this, we would go to jail. But there's
nothing to prevent members of Congress from doing Brian Baird
several times has tried to introduce legislation to stop
this process, this practice rather, and it has not been
stopped as of this date.
Oh, totally. I mean, I'll give you another example of the big
game. So you know that a lot of the big Silicon Valley venture
capital firms of course, you know, there's all this money is
running through them. And they're and then everyone's
involved with each other billions. If not, maybe it must,
it must broach trillions really, but let's just say billions. So
I get this email from one of our producers Zack and and he sends
me I don't think he even realised how right on point he
was when he was talk. I remember we were talking about bracelets,
we'll have a bracelet for everything. So when you're
sitting on your ass, an alarm bell will go off and you'll the
the Federalists will show up to you to get off your ass slave.
So he sends me the Silicon Valley venture backed firm
called Fitbit. And Fitbit is is a bracelet that you wear. And it
Fitbit automatically tracks your fitness and sleep. Did I get
enough exercise today? How many calories that I burn? Am I
getting good rest, learn more purchase? $99. So this is a
seemingly, you know, innocuous little company, although it
started by some serial entrepreneurs, and it's the
backers are True Ventures and soft tech. Soft Tech, I think is
pretty big. Right? They've I think they're reasonably large
firm that Yeah. So but it fits in perfectly with with the Codex
Alimentarius ruling that the President just handed down.
Because this is it's all about preventative measures. And you
look at this Fitbit stuff was like, you know, prevent illness.
So these guys, I'm trying to tie this together by saying that
these guys know. And they all clearly already knew. Just like
when before green came out, all these guys had their green funds
already ready there on the inside, they know that this is
coming out. They know the legislation is coming down the
pike that either they knew it there or their lobbyists
connections or whatever, but they know what's happening. And
they started investing in companies going to make them
billions of dollars, because the government will somehow there's
going to be some kind of rule or regulation that you have to be
healthy. And you might as well start selling shit that makes
people healthy. Actually, that sounds pretty good.
Yeah, so why don't people have to wait? What is it with people
that have to you know, I want to put a device on me. So I know
exactly how many hours sleep I'm getting. Whether I'm you know,
walking enough and all these all these metrics? I mean, why don't
you just live your life? What do you need all these metrics about
everything you do? I find people like that it'd be extremely
boring.
Well, it's being shoved down our throats. And we're the American
people really, really gullible when it comes to that stuff.
Everybody. It's not bad. I mean, it's not bad to to be educated
about living healthy and eating healthy. And that's certainly
good. But when it comes to
you have to be abortionist. Yeah. Oh,
yeah. So this is part of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory
Committee. member, I read you that. That executive order the
President came out with which is that which is all about that
sitting down that that is essentially our version of the
of the Codex.
I can't fully grasp why this stuff even exists.
So this was the executive order, establishing the national
prevention, health promotion and Public Health Council, Starfleet
Command of your body. Section six g. contains specific plans
to ensure that all prevention programmes outside the
Department of Health and Human Services are based on the
science based guidelines developed by the Centres for
Disease Control and Prevention under subsection D of this
section, which is all a part of section 4100 of the health care
act, where this word specifically states that this
council needs to be called to order and who's in the council,
Surgeon General Secretary of Agriculture Secretary of labour,
Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary of
Transportation Secretary of Education Secretary of Homeland
Security, administrative environmental tection agency
Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Director of National
Drug Control Policy, and of course, the Assistant Secretary
of the Interior for Indian Affairs, let's make no mistake.
Now just in case you want to open a casino,
but But ya know, this is the dietary guidelines and part of
that and this is now being propagated everywhere because
the council has only just been announced and already they have
the dietary guidelines, composed of 13 nutrition experts. And you
are not allowed to have any more than a teaspoon of salt a day,
John, that is your limit.
Really love I live in the Arizona desert. Don't
forget about it. Among the recommendations Americans should
consume no more than 1500 milligrammes of of salt per day.
Current guideline, doesn't
this depend on the heat factor outside?
No, no. Would you please shut up? Brian says,
I'm sure that it would be an Arizona.
I'm sorry. I'm just trying to make you a good slave. The
science is in. Also children should be discouraged from
drinking sugar sweetened beverages, because aspartame is
good for you. It's laughable. And now it makes so much sense
why Michelle Obama is is the in charge of the obesity Task
Force.
Yeah, but she's got other problems if she's going to do
that. I'll tell you. So this is this is a letter she looks so
grumpy.
This is the government telling you what to do.
So we have to mention a few people that gave us some money.
Holy crap. Yeah. Do we ever.
And I want to mention right now, starting with Ryan lackey in
London, Ontario, who get who gave us 87 bucks and he says he
donated 87 bucks for two reasons. June 17 is my 29th
birthday. And by multiplying my age by the lucky number three,
I'm hoping to accrue some good karma for the upcoming year to
make my best ever to make it my best ever. Secondly, my last
name is Lackey and I need as much help as possible to break
my association with slavery and servitude.
Helped me Obi Wan Dvorak you're my only hope. Sorry, that was a
little premature All right, Ryan lackey Happy Birthday. It being
your 29th birthday today. Thank you for supporting the no agenda
show. And here's to hoping you shall no longer be associated
with a slave who needs to shut up
we have another birthday boy too. Oh, well, let
me go straight into it.
Alan, as SAF as wrote as it was giving a happy birthday shout
out to Brian hill of whose birthday was two days ago on the
15th So happy birthday to you Brian. And he
also what does he say here? He says that Brian needs to be
deduced as he's most likely a jabroni for not contributing
bad deed deuced never contributed Why
would douching him well it's a SIS admin so that makes no sense
either. No sis admins to hence the donation amount is on the
dime I'm not seeing the connection. Oh,
it's just admins are the our natural Minutemen they need to
come to our aid. when the shit hits the fan Exactly.
John Martinez Gilroy, California 5555. Free Hello
books.ebooks.com At City West Virginia, and holler
and I'm going to order me one of their new holo books that would
now free audiobooks.com sent us I got a nice Atlas Shrugged free
holo book. I got a cookbook. Yeah. And but now he makes
beautiful free holo books for your iPad, which are really
awesome. So
we should measure what a free holo book is. Yeah, it's a
well it's a hollowed out book, but it's not free. Because you
got to buy him.
Yeah, well, yeah. Well, what is the name free hollow books.
I don't know anything. But it's, it's actually it's cool. I mean,
as a kid, I don't know if you ever did that. But you take a
razor blade and you cut through pages and pages of a book. And
then you put like, Your condoms in there or some something
important or your trinkets. And so essentially, he does this for
you, but he does it with a treatment of the pages so that
they're actually you know, like stiff and they kind of
know it's actually an outstanding product it is it's
it's a great looks just like a book.
And I'm definitely going to pick me up one of those iPad books
because it's because you know, it's because you need a case for
the iPad. Anyway. It's fun. It's a conversation starter.
Picks he said He's had a great response from our listeners, by
the way, but he wants to call out Schrader and shore as
douchebags. Oops. Let me let me do it again. Oops, what
happened? Well, that was that was bad
was not a good douche. Bag douche is I'm sorry.
He's. Then we have. Well, we had Alan Assaf who gave me the two
nickels on the dime. He's from Bristol, Virginia. We got a lot
of Virginia areas, folks, Veronica Roberts, Boise, Idaho.
5510 wants to call out Brian Brushwood for criticising the
show, and thought you were great on Stern. 55 two nickels on the
dime, CG Mayer, Mount Gambier, a, South Australia 5003 with no
particular explanation, and what else that's about it. Very
light.
So clearly, we need we really need more support,
we need a promotion. And I guess we do, I would like to get more
subscribers, you know. And the thing is, I want to point out to
people that by the way, you know, we're giving you 1234
hours a week times four weeks, 16 probably 16 to 18 hours a
week of material for your entertainment pleasure. And it
is a show for people that drive long distances in their cars and
or who might want to listen to this at work, which we
recommend. At but we'd like to get the subscriber base up. But
the problem and one of the problems we keep having is that
and I've keep soliciting people, a couple of guys that just said
you guys suck and we don't want to subscribe anymore. But most
of them say Oh, I didn't know that my subscription had been
pulled by Pay Pal. I changed my credit card. And this happens.
This happens daily. And it's very very annoying and I
wouldn't appeal just to check in once in a while with their
PayPal accounts if this actually being sorted. Look at your bill,
you know and see what's happening. Yeah, well, the
only.org/n A
the only way we're going to
the did you get the note about the butter associate the cook
guy that's on me via that gave us a big
these recipes so that you don't have to how many times have you
gotten a recipe and made the recipe and the food was crap,
and weeding all those out? You have no idea how many recipes I
go through to bring you the best. So if you get any value
out of this short all I ask you to go to and donate to the no
agenda show. You can listen to that show no agenda show.com And
you can donate go and donate $5 In the name of cooking with Blaz
man to no agenda show.com Or you can go to no Devora Chuck DeVore
ak.org/na and donate $5 In the name of cooking with blahs, man,
they watch the news so that you don't have to I cook the meals
so that you don't have to it's value for value. Don't try to
get anything out of the short effects.
Yeah, that's the blast, man. I highly appreciate him taking
time out of his cooking show on on bvo to promote us now you you
want him to be a PR associate and which is fine.
Yeah, I think he did you know that's more than most people do.
I mean, he Oh, it's not like he didn't mention your name. Of
course. Yeah. So I hope you're not too perturbed at him.
Yes, I didn't mention yours either. Is that okay?
Yeah. You know when when you were on Leo show and you did an
in the morning? You know, you became PR associate what do I
get crap. I get crap for not mentioning you. Anyway,
are you gonna just obsess on these things?
Yeah, probably. So yeah, I do agree though. We need we need
more monthly subscribers. As of now, this was kind of predicted
during the during the summer months, everything goes down on
the internet. Everything 30% It's not I don't think 30% is is
typical. I would say it's probably half that normally. But
it's we're definitely seeing the
hardware down. 30% easy.
We're feeling the hurt for sure.
But he said the right thing he got he spent a whole week we do
essentially got what we usually get in a day.
Yeah, there you go.
So that's not good.
No, oh, maybe people don't care. That's always possible. Maybe
they just don't care. Maybe they think
maybe they don't care about the oil. Or maybe maybe we're
talking about the wrong topics.
Yeah, maybe we should be doing more Miley Cyrus. I don't know.
It seems to be working for joy Bay heart.
Well, you know, I don't know what our numbers are. But I
doubt if she has any audience at all, so probably isn't working
for her. No, I
think she's got audience.
She's got she's probably, you know, good shows. I mean, she's
not gonna get much of an audience. She's got a couple
million. No, she doesn't. If she has 40,000 would be a miracle.
Wow. Let's
see ratings. Joy Bihar You're right 400. And so half a
million. She has that many 417,000. So that was December
2009. Let me just see. Double good. Yeah. Good for her double
digit growth. Hola. dB amaze. John, you know, so to answer
your
question fails to stop falling ratings. Well,
everyone's having a fallen ratings. I mean, come on. Now
see if here's she premiered at half a million?
Yeah. Well, Everyone's curious. Hmm.
What is it here? Ratings going up? 17%. Okay, I don't have any
absolute numbers. There, but I'll bet you somewhere around a
million? No. Well, if it's a half
a million, then well, if it's half a million more than we got.
Yeah.
I think it's got to be about half a million. People love
that. They love shows like that. But people don't give a crap
about what we do. Normally, only the few people who are awake.
Like oh, yeah, well, yeah. That's that's possible that that
we could be lied to? No, I mean, if you really want the answer,
now, you know, joy,
Bihar's taking numbers away from going to New York Times? No.
Larry King on CNN. Yeah,
that's another fine show.
Let's see that just that doesn't Yeah, well, but Larry's about
the spike
his ratings because he got the big All Star tribute to the Gulf
Coast coming up. We was about time for one of those.
Well, that's depressing. So the
Federal Aviation Administration is now really getting
frustrated. Because it is time to start issuing flying rights
for drones. For civilian and law enforcement functions. I'm not
quite sure how that works civilian and law enforcement
functions. As the federal lays are saying, we need to have this
we need to have drones flying around America.
And of course as an armed at first and then pretty soon
they'll load them up. Totally. And missiles.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was told
lawmakers safety concerns are behind the delays. Yeah, no
kidding. So a Senate confirmation vote. All right,
that's something else here. So that they want to use the planes
at the border initially. And right,
they're gonna start with the Canadian border. Yeah, exactly.
No, seriously,
I believe you. I believe you. But it's, it'll happen. They'll
get him in these drones come in all sizes by though they'll be
over Oakland and within two years, they have drones that can
fly into your window. Did you know that? Yeah. Little ones.
Yeah. And they but like a slit in the window? They can like
flip sideways and well yes. Yeah. Oh, I have video of that.
It's amazing. It's amazing. I
tell you Yeah. No, no,
no. Okay, I'm just saying long existence.
Remote control. I don't see how they can it is possible just
just the latency issues. I think it would crash through the
window. Dude, we got Moonbase What are you talking about
windows closed ladies and gentlemen keep them close if not
for the foxes then for the drones. sounds something
like to get one in the house. I got to smash it with a baseball
bat. And then I did see what I was made out of take the camera
if it didn't zap your first
version of drone flying in somebody's house and flying
around. You know, there probably be like those in stll title and
like, you know, hover inside the house looking around for stuff.
Yeah, that's about as creepy as anything we can come up with.
So anyway, they're looking to pass that legislation. We really
need to get that done. We need to have these drones. I mean, we
need to have security for for all of the terrorists running
around terrorists. I tell ya. Them most emailed story this
week, without a doubt, the trillions of dollars of minerals
and lithium, all of a sudden discovered in Afghanistan, which
is just a big laugh. Wow. The New York Times man, is that the
Ministry of Truth or what? So of course, this is like we've known
about these minerals in Afghanistan we've been talking
about on this show. about gold and gems and the lithium. We
didn't talk about
lithium. It's just I don't know what they brought that up just
because it gets more attention. Well, no, no,
no, no, no, I think the wording is very important. Actually, I
got a little deconstruction of it here. It was not just
lithium, they call it the Saudi Arabia of lithium.
Yeah, the Saudi Arabia.
That's beautiful. So here's from the article. So first of all,
this article saying, well, there was no idea, no idea far beyond
any previously known reserves, enough to fundamentally alter
the Afghan economy. Now this can be used one of two ways, of
course, either it can be used to stay in Afghanistan, but I
believe John's we were discussing on Sunday that this
could be used to get out of Afghanistan. Oh, these guys got
plenty of money.
Well, by the way, I've got two clips that indicate that one
part of the government wants to stay and one part of the
government wants to leave because we it's obvious that the
executive branch and the Congress wants is decided to
leave. But for some reason, there is a I came up with a with
a comment from your friend gates.
Could you please stop referring to assholes as my friend, please
do not call fom Hartmann or Robert Gates, my friend,
Robert Gates. He's not your friend. What do you have against
the poor man? But you should listen to these clips before we
go on about this thing? Just to get a little perspective.
There's two of them.
I have gapes on Afghanistan to which I guess is this I need
I need the lay he asks question and it's obvious that lay he
again, who was Lahey Lahey, who is late he plays the Senator
from Vermont. Okay, he's Patrick Leigh. He's the douchebag from
Vermont. He has a, he has the agenda, which is to get out. And
he's asking gates about it. About why why don't we just get
out? Essentially, it's not what he says. But that's what he's
implying. And I think we've had the clips before that kind of
indicate that they're trying to speed up the process. And if you
listen to gates explain the situation. It sounds like
something accelerated is going on. Lay he first Jelle he,
I mean, how do you how do you see it? What is our what is our
end game?
Well, first of all, I think the one of the results of the very
detailed analytical effort and policy consideration effort of
the administration last fall was in fact to clarify our goals.
And our goal is to ensure that Afghanistan is not a place from
which attacks can be launched on the United States again, and in
a nutshell, the strategy is to reverse the momentum of the
Taliban, to deny them control of populated areas, to degrade
their capabilities to the point where the Afghan security forces
can take care of them. And and the Afghans are ahead of pace in
terms of building both the police and, and the army. They
we still are dealing with quality issues. But but we are
making headway. We are making progress on trainers, the
percentage of trainers to trainees has gone from about one
to 80 to about one to 30. And a lot of Afghans you know, I read
a lot in the press about corruption and so on so forth.
But the reality is there are ministers in Kabul doing their
jobs. And there are Afghan soldiers and police out there
are who are dying in even greater numbers than we are
fighting for their country.
I've met a number of those ministers. I have a great deal
of confidence in them. But do you have confidence in the top
leadership of the country?
Yes, I do. I think that everything that I hear from my
own Well, first of all, from my own conversations with President
Karzai, I think that he is embracing his responsibility for
this. For this conflict in his country. His visit to Kandahar
just a few days ago that the admiral referred to was very
important in terms of helping set the stage for the
continuation of the campaign there. So I think that we have
some clear, we have clear goals. I think, frankly, that the
narrative over the last week or so possibly because of the
higher casualties and other factors has been too negative. I
think that we are regaining the initiative. I think that we are
making headway and that's the thing that I would say a to two
other points, I'd make sense are one is people need to remember,
we have only been at this new strategy for about four and a
half months. We don't even have all the surge troops in
Afghanistan that I
asked you, on those before my time runs out is the Leahy Law
being implemented in both Afghanistan and Pakistan?
We are working to ensure that the Leahy Law is being
implemented in both places. And we could discuss it further with
you in a closed session.
What is the Leahy Law?
the Leahy Law you know I don't know why he brought it up in
effect I spot a clip that off the end because it's a
distraction. the Leahy Law is a law that that ensures human
rights no human rights violations take place in the in
Afghanistan and Pakistan. So we don't go in and gun people down
for no good reason and don't care. I don't know what the
point of him bringing it up.
Okay. And then we have gates. Now what is he saying?
Well, now the what you heard there was, you know, obviously
we're trying to get out these guys are going as fast as they
can. They've kind of reset. I love the fact that we've only
been there longer than any other variable, but it's only been for
four months. Really? Yeah, we've
Yeah, we've reset everything. It's new strategy in
new stretch. So we've only been doing this for four months. So
it's okay. We got we've been in we haven't been in there for
what? 10 years decade. We've been in there for months
essentially. And you know, they also if you listen to the
beginning of Gates's little diatribe, the guy is a
bureaucrat, and by is he CIA, because he looks much like Yes.
They all have that same power. And all the guys that you know,
that were probably there in Langley, they have there's a
paler and a hair colours, which is the, you know, kind of looks
like it's even. I don't know how you get your hair that white.
But it looks he just looks CIA. So. So here we go with gates.
Just Just so you're not absolutely sure we're not going
to leave tomorrow on. Gates served
for 26 years in the Central Intelligence Agency and National
Security Council under George HW Bush, as Director of Central
Intelligence. Does that answer your question?
I guess he must still be working for him. So so so just to make
it clear that may be the agency
has had some ulterior motives isn't keen
on leaving right away because well, you know, we have maybe
your funding this all the ducks in a row.
This is where this is where they get their money from. It's like
we leave these properties. We finance taken out governments
around the world. Are you nuts Shut up, Leahy's slave. Shut up.
So and I would just
makes this comment in here that I found very interesting,
because it was like, What are you kidding me?
And I would just add one more point to the earlier point you
made. There is no doubt that these wars have cost the United
States the American taxpayers a lot of money, as chairman said
at the outset close to a trillion dollars. That said in
terms of our international
that said, we've been talking about this on email about that
transition that said in other words, in other words, fuck it.
Let me talk about something else right now, that said that
in terms of our international competitiveness in terms of our
overall economy, it is worth keeping the perspective that at
about four to four and a half percent of GDP. We are spending
less on defence than during any other
Hey, that's weird. Oh, no. Hey,
did it crap out?
Yeah, it's really weird. Let me try that again.
Did you crap out? No, no, no, no. That was weird. And barely
hear you. Hello. Hello. Yeah, you're back.
No, but all of a sudden that clip just stopped at the last
seven seconds. Oh, no, it just stopped. No, I didn't let's try
it again.
GDP we are spending less on defence than during any other
war time in our history. And and it is a level that certainly is
sustainable.
What you're spending less and it's certainly sustainable.
Yeah. You stay there for 50 years
Oh, that's meant that's just beautiful.
It was a jaw dropper okay, if you remember there's there's
still clips out there the guy who when they first went into
Iraq, so the whole thing was like well, it's gonna cost us a
couple billion we'll be out in six months. And now we've been
in these countries forever. And and now it's it was running it.
So so far it's run a trillion a trillion in the hole a trillion
dollars that could be that could be used to cut to fill the
potholes on highway 80. That's down the hill from where I live.
If so when I drive into the city I am dodging potholes on on an
interstate. Yeah,
there's a lot we could do with
this step go to San Francisco Bay Bridge those potholes.
So let everyone let's get back into what this was about, about
this Ministry of Truth article in The New York Times, where now
all of a sudden, there's these vast mineral riches in
Afghanistan, which we just kind of discovered, which is a total
lie. And then we have there's a new mining expert, General
Petraeus. He's an expert now, John. Oh, by the way,
you know, yeah. Reason why, yeah, I
know why to let me finish my thought. You don't know why.
Yes, I do.
I'm gonna finish your thought. I'll tell you why later.
No, please. You're half the show. And John C. Dvorak,
everybody.
And you're, you're a big baby. So it's because he leaned
forward, his
metals are too heavy. Yes. I know, I know your jokes. I don't
need you on the show. I can just do your voice and, and we'll be
fine. So they're stunning potential here. Petraeus,
commander of the United States Central Command said an
interview on Saturday. There's a lot of ifs, of course, but I
think potentially it's hugely significant. betray us now knows
a lot about minerals. Instead of bringing peace, the newfound
mineral wealth, according to this article, could lead the
Taliban to battle even more fiercely to regain control of
the country. And apparently, the vast scale of Afghanistan's
mineral wealth was discovered by a small team, an elite team of
Pentagon officials and American geologists, geologists. I mean,
this whole article reeks of bull
crap. Yeah, no, it's total bull crap. But they did mention the
fact that the Russians had already discovered these
minerals in the in the 80s.
So, I mean, first of all, I don't think there's any I mean,
they have the administration wants to get out but I think
that the CIA and particularly gates, I mean, there's a reason
why gates is still there. You know, it's like, you know,
there's like, here's the meeting a Obama Listen, Gates is in
otherwise we blow your cover very, very soon Otero. They've
got the goods on him. It won't go away. And and I think that
it's a big bonanza. And
if they don't get out of this, Afghanistan before the election
there, these guys are gonna take a bath.
So we'll just bring in the next puppet doesn't make any
difference. Yeah, well, I
know but he likes to be the puppet. For difference to him.
Yeah. Wow. It doesn't matter. It's just read the prompter and
shut up. June 14, according to Reuters, Iran is sending aid
ships to blockaded Gaza. Did you hear about this one? I'm sorry.
Iran is sending aid ships ie a new flotilla to the blockaded
Gaza. Iran has
ships.
Iran has tonnes of ships. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And they say that
they're shipping off food and stuff like that, that these
people would need.
But that is that has disaster written all over it, of course.
And I don't think it was any coincidence that this was so
weird. Where Timmy Geithner, I know, I mentioned earlier, Timmy
Geithner just came out and had this whole thing. Did you know
that the Tim Geithner is the secretary of defence of the
Treasury? But he did a little intro and then immediately he
has what is the exact title of this guy? Oh,
my God, these Iranian ships look like crap.
Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. So they
did. Did you see that speech yesterday? No. Yeah, this was
like It's slipped right in. And Timmy Geithner is like, okay,
we're outlawing the banks were outlawing the the oil and gas
companies, every single ship in Iran's national maritime
carrier, more than 90 ship names. These are all terrorists.
So this ship is on its way. And of course, it's filled with
terrorists. 22, petroleum energy insurance companies. All of
these are all new sanctions, by the way that were announced. So
it's heating up and and I think just to kind of bring it all
around to the oil Cabal. They have to stop that, that new
pipeline. So they've either got to there could be some thing in
Turkey that could happen something in Austria, because
the a lot of this gas is coming through Austria, or of course
Iran. And I think, although I've I've always kind of like,
doubted that it would happen this Iran thing just might heat
up into something real hmm, maybe. And that would that would
be the true reason, you know, oh, we have to move from
Afghanistan to Iran. That would be that would be a possibility
but it is heating up and this was no small matter that was
announced yesterday. No Small Matter at all. 22 petroleum
energy insurance companies all you know not allowed to do
business with them anymore. Not allowed to of course doesn't
mean that people won't the people in Zook in Zook
Switzerland
Well, since we're on this topic, because it's always fascinated
me there's this crazy story that's there's two stories that
are underreported. One of them I have a clip of on your I'm not
gonna say your friend. But by that, that weird woman, Laura
Flanders who sounds always sound like Lyndon LaRouche, who was
she? She's the one who does grit TV. You've seen her? Oh, yeah,
sure. Sure. Sure. played her clip. It says, very strange. I
don't know which it's must be labelled something else.
I think it's under two.
You have a one sided. Weird, Utah. Who are you?
Utah, sorry. Here we go, Utah.
Cost of oil about which more later? Let's start with that
Utah report. Antonia, what do we know about what happened there?
Because forgive many of us, we haven't been seeing this front
and centre of our evening news.
Yeah, just happened this weekend. And actually, we still
don't know exactly what happened. Somehow, a quarter
sized hole was punctured into a massive Chevron oil pipeline
that carries oil to Salt Lake City refinery. And that hole has
leaked 33,000 gallons so far of oil directly into this creek,
which you saw, which ultimately feeds into, you know, major
river areas around major water areas. And Chevron is
essentially throwing up its hands it to some degree saying
we don't know why it happened. We think we think we can clean
it up. We hope we can clean it up. But this is just you know,
another example of another oil spill, actually two weeks before
the BP disaster. Chevron had another oil pipeline that was
ruptured in the Gulf of Mexico. And that leaked 18,000 gallons
of oil into a National Wildlife Preserve.
We're all hearing about the failures of the federal response
on the Gulf. What do we know about the response in Utah so
far?
The response in Utah so far is that we've got a lot of oil and
there's not a lot you can do about it. You know, oil is of
course toxic, you you can't really get it out of water, you
can try you can get some of it. This is seeping directly into
groundwater, Chevron is definitely on top of it,
probably more than they would have if the rest of these events
weren't happening at the same time. But at the end of the day,
what I think the whole country is learning is when oil goes
into water, there isn't a lot that can be done.
All right. So there's an interesting point couple points
in here. One, of course, is assume that Chevron wouldn't do
as much if it wasn't for the big Gulf spill, which I thought was
you know, how does she know? But the other thing is, well, how do
you get a quarter sized hole in a pipe? big thick pipe? Well,
seems to me that someone would have 357 Magnum that was just
goofing around in the middle of nowhere. You just yeah, that's
possible. Just take a shot at this thing and a 357 Magnum
which can go into Druce a very thick steel or a 44 Magnum
whatever rifle you want to your gun or rifle you want to use
pops a hole and it would be about that size. And then the
thing starts leaking and then you will Oh my God, I didn't
know I was gonna happen and then you take off and then you get a
big oil spill what and now you'd have to ask yourself, especially
in the United States, where where guys like to take their
shotguns and drive around in the south and blow off? You know,
stop signs
and hands, Mexicans Puerto Ricans,
I think this is the real reason that they want to get those
drones in place is to protect the pipelines. Yeah, because
this is ridiculous. This guy is shot. And they won't even
suggest this on the show because it can't talk about guns. But I
can imagine some guy doing this. I mean, you're out in the middle
of nowhere. What the fuck is always a pipeline and you got
your big gun with you. You've been shooting it, you know,
ducks. That's
an excellent point. That is, you know, one of the biggest
helicopter industries is pipeline protection. And just
about every single chopper pilot I know has at one point in his
career as a commercial pilot has at one point in his life done
pipeline protection. You ever see a helicopter like probably
at about 700 feet going really slow and then it'll go on one
line and then we'll turn and those there literally inspecting
the pipelines from the air that's very sophisticated, that
they have, you know, geo mapping and all kinds of
I suspect that these these video roles are more common. That's
why you need the people that should check up and down. Yeah.
And then zap them fuckers. Hey, get out of that pipeline.
Get yourself away from the pipeline immediately. Okay, so
now here's the story that nobody's covering. And I think
it's the most interesting story of including the Gulf thing.
This isn't a very this is an obscure kind of a blog called a
newspaper.com. Toll Road giant buys newspapers to sign silence
critics. Australian toll road. Mcguire agreed Wednesday they
were Macquarie agreed Wednesday to purchase 40 local newspapers
primarily in Texas and Oklahoma for $80 million. The Macquarie
Bank is Australia's largest capital raising firm and has
invested billions in purchasing the roads in US Canada and UK in
the UK. Most recently, the company joined with Sintra
consensus the owners of Spain in a controversial 75 year lease of
the 157 mile Indiana toll road. Now they're apparently involved
in the trans Texas corridor, which will cost between 145 and
103 billion to construct a road expected to use up the 1200
feet. Why you know what we're talking about that that road is
gonna go to Canada.
Yeah, it's the trans America corridor or whatever they call
it. Yeah,
the newspapers are the main communication tool for many
rural Texan communities with many citizens at risk of losing
their homes and farms through eminent domain. Many of the
small papers purchase most have a circulation of 5000 or less
they paid a lot of money have been critical of the trans Texas
corridor an article in the in the banahan Barney ham journal,
for example, states, the toll roads will be under control of
foreign investors, which more than frustrates Texas. So this
is I'm surprised that this hasn't happened before you buy
up the newspapers.
What do you mean, it hasn't happened before? This? Is the
New York Times a Mexican billionaire? Talking about who
owns the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch? Are you being
facetious? being stupid? Yeah.
So as being blonde. So all these idiotic, are these little papers
that are bitching and moaning. And now they're, you know, it's
just like, and they've dropped 80 million on these on these
little guys. It's payday here. Take the paper, the media would
be on this. This is ridiculous that this is happening. What do
you
want me to write? Sir? What should I say today? Oh, that's,
that's, that's perfect.
That's perfect. Nobody's covering it? No, of
course not. And if you want it covered, then I would strongly
support you supporting us. I was watching PBS, one of our
national treasures. And they had, which I thought was gonna
be really good show that like a 60s was the Ed Sullivan Show.
Yeah. And I was like, Oh, man is good. You know, they had all the
the classic performances from the Ed Sullivan Show. And that
show like two clips. And then some guy who was who wasn't born
with the Ed Sullivan show was on is hosting with Paul Shaffer,
who is Hawking his book. And Jay Thomas, who was paid to do the
voiceovers for the for these two clips in a row. And then they
and they start, like, you know, telling old stories, which are
just lame and do fussy. And I'm like, you know, and but it went
on forever, like, Oh, please, you can't fast forward that
unfortunately, like you can with us. It was like, please, please
just go back to the Ed Sullivan Show. I was like Wow, man, you
know, and selling DVDs for 150 bucks, Jesus, please just give
us five bucks a month
divorce.org/in A, we need all the help we can get we're going
to finish the show by the way with this long clip, which you
will find on there. Which I find like I said earlier to be the
most interesting thing in terms of a package that Stuart's ever
put together because of the amount of research that must
have gone into this to get speeches from Gerald Ford and
Ron Ronald Reagan and Nixon and all these these you know these
presidents from back when and that are all saying the exact
thing almost word for word. It's just to me it was like I don't
know I their staff should have been given called out on the
show if we're doing such a great research job.
Do we want to end it here?
Oh, no, I got nothing else.
I got a couple of things just just to blaze through just a
couple of funny things if you want. Oh well Funny isn't haha
or funny as in That's peculiar please check out the show notes
of no agenda show.com under the heading demon drink. As you know
the John righteously calls the Neo prohibitionists are added
again, all over Gitmo nation calls now and get one nation
east for banning all drink driving. And of course, it's not
a good idea to drive after you've had a drink anyway. But
you know, why not just banned driving? Street alcoholics
costing millions trying to quit smoking? Well, the devil is in
the drink from new scientists great article. If you're you've
stopped drinking now to help you stop smoking. And
well actually, that's true. But I can give it let me give you an
interesting tip as a New Scientist actually ran this
exact same story about 25 years ago, but they had a little
kicker on it. Apparently, if you go to a bar, a lot of smokers
notice they go to a bar to have a few drinks. They feel like
having a smoke. It turns out that if you if you take a Tums
or any any any anti acid pill, Rolaids, Tums or bicarb, that
craving goes away. The craving to smoke. I didn't bring that
little factoid up again, the craving for the smoke you mean?
Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, there's
a bunch of open like a true nonsmoker.
I've always told people hey, you know, you gotta take care had a
drink. I gotta have a smoke. I said, take a take a Tums. I'd
rather have the smoke. Done, but some are trying to quit. I'm
not.
I wouldn't for the many people who wrote in and called me a
douchebag. Regarding the the solar flares, which are coming
Yes, I'm well aware that there's a cycle of approximately 11
years of solar activity. And I'm aware of this. And so when I was
15, was the first cycle in my lifetime that I was aware of,
when actually ham radio conditions were outstanding, you
get what's called skip, and on like 12 Watts, I could on the
11, and illegally on the 10 metre band could talk all around
the globe. I'm very aware of the cycle. However, when NASA comes
out and says, Beware unprecedented levels of magnetic
energy from solar flares as the sun weakens from its deep
slumber, are on the way, it could hit like a bolt of
lightning, catastrophic consequences for the world's
health emergency services and national security. I think
that's a little more than just a little bit of solar activity.
That is in a cycle. And NASA is predicting Armageddon,
essentially.
Yeah, well, that's NASA. Yeah.
That's why I mentioned it.
If you're playing lightweight stuff, let me play the Prius ad
that I didn't have never seen a Prius ad in my life. And I saw
this one and had to record it because it's got a piece of
information in here that that I went what it can do that
it gets better gas mileage than any other car in America uses
solar power to cool the interior. If you drift, it
automatically brings you back into your lane. And right now
Prius comes with two amazing offers. Get special 0% APR
financing or a low pre asleep? Just 199 a month with only 1999
do assign it's amazing.
It's amazing. Hey, I didn't know that. Is that a new feature? If
you drift that automatically brings you back into your lane.
It doesn't sound like much of a feature. I think I'll change
lanes. No you will get over here. I'm gonna hit this car.
No, you have to hit the car.
If you have a Prius. Let me know how that works. This may be a
new feature DJI never heard of this. No, I've never heard of
it. Let me Prius Lane drift. Let's just look at that for a
second. I've never heard Oh, it's here at Lane Keep Assist.
Here it is. Uh huh. It's the 2010 Toyota Prius John. Wow. And
that can be the Prius is it? Is that the new Prius?
It looks like the old Prius
I'm looking at anyway go Lane Keep Assist. It's got a heads up
display so you can watch the dashboard and look at the
dashboard. No wonder you're gonna drift into the lane. A
camera that literally looks for lines painted on the road. And
then what does it do and oh, and then it gets it alerts you if
you start to drift. Wow, that think of everything goes
Japanese. Don't they
alert you or do way it sounds in the commercials that actually
adjusts you
if the LDW system thinks the driver is about to drift into
another lane It sounds a warning and nudges the steering wheel a
little bit. Okay. The L k goes a step further. Helping the driver
stay in the lane with additional torque on the wheel. I don't
like that idea.
I don't like it dry Many you know talking about these drunk
drivers, it might be useful.
What's funny is we need to paint some extra lines on the road.
Oh, that would be Yeah.
Oh, how much extra torque is it? And for people who can't even
keep their accelerators working freely and functionally now now
that I'm taking control of my steering wheel, I
control the steering wheel. So you could probably this to me
seems to me to be part of a system where you could not only
take control of the accelerator and the braking system, but you
could steer the car remotely. Yeah,
exactly. Why even drive? Let's
do this is the only way this guy has made his payment. Yeah, got
him here on the camera, rolling over. Oh, perfect. Wow, want to
get rid of some guy. Oh, that guy drives a Prius I'm, well, we
can kill him. Ready here comes in an oncoming truck.
So just one last story. And then we'll we'll end the show and get
to the John Stuart clip. So one of the anomalies of what I
believe is probably is more likely caused by HAARP than
anything is these holes that we've been seeing in China, you
know, these, you know, these weird rings in the in the cloud
layer. And they've been showing up often just before some
catastrophic event.
And of course, I think these things are fake. Well, have you
seen one?
No. And that's kind of funny because big story being pushed
in, in multiple media that this is caused by aeroplanes, jet
aeroplanes or punching holes in the cloud. So I guess the you
know, and this is happening in Australia, they've had a lot of
these, and it shows up on radar. And it's like really weird,
perfectly circular poles in the in the cloud layer. And so the
story doesn't really add up to me, first of all, the reason why
so I said, No, I haven't seen them. And I've been flying in
lots of jet aircraft small and large. They say that when jet
aircraft climb or descend under certain atmospheric conditions,
they can inadvertently seed mid level clouds and cause narrow
bands or snow or rain to develop, but they can also punch
holes or channels in the clouds, which have long fascinated the
public. I'm thinking disinformation standby,
particularly when you get to the part that as far back as the
1940s Scientists have wondered about the causes of these
clouds. What really? And how many jet aircraft did we have
flying in the 1940s?
Well, there was a German jet fighter 1945 out
Yeah, exactly. As far back as the 1940s. Scientists have
wondered, well, this reminds me of a thing I just
saw on a crawler the other day, the CIA is it says the CIA has
just released some documents from the 1940s. Again, that 40s
mentioned. And it was about, you know about, about the Korean War
in advance of the Korean War. We had some we had we knew
something was going on, but we didn't interpret it right. I've
seen the CIA released these. It's some of its documents from
the 1940s. When was the CIA in business? Is that in the 1940s?
Yeah, didn't they start in like 5052 or something like that?
352 Something like that. And Alan Dallas? Yeah. Where did the
Where did the CIA get the what is the CIA doing with the with
its documents from the 1940s? And why is it the 1940s? Again,
this is interesting coincidence that the 40s are being brought
up. Code.
Yeah. Could be code. Well, it might have been the precursor
OSS I think was Yeah, could
be but why would they? They could have said it that way.
They was CIA documents. Supposedly, really, it's just
been misreported, that's obviously happens. So
anyway, so this is kind of the reverse of the of the chemtrails
are actually contrails you know, I have a strong belief in ya
know, the same drugs why why do you think that's so not? Because
it's ridiculous. You think it's of all the things I say? You
think the most ridiculous and the one you seem to be so
adamantly opposed to? Is that there could be spraying of
chemicals in the air? You think that's correct. Why do you think
that's crazy? Even though
why did upper atmosphere with goods?
It's not the upper atmosphere John, it's it's five five to
10,000 feet it's not upper atmosphere. These things are
low.
Yeah, no, I'm just telling you there's no there's no evidence.
Okay? All the only evidence is with people that are worst
crackpots in you know, websites.
Oh, no, it's the government has actually said they've done this.
They've done it for weather modification.
Yeah, but that's different. That's not from a regular jet.
passenger plane yet
is not a jet passenger plan. Let's think It passenger planes
do it.
Okay. Anyway, they do see clouds or they used to I think they
stopped doing that in the 60s.
We'll spend some time looking at the sky. I look at the sky all
the time. And yeah, well, just so you know, that are fact holes
in the clouds caused by aeroplanes, John
rolls in the cloud thing is dubious. But at the same time, I
haven't seen one of these effects and you haven't seen one
and I don't know one of our listeners. Who's Who's seen one.
Yeah, no, lots of Gitmo nation down under producers have sent
me.
Yeah, they've sent you pictures that they got from someone else.
Okay, well, if
if the pictures are fake? And why would scientists come out
and say, Oh, well, these are caused by jet aeroplanes. I
mean, that makes me keep seeing
these pictures. They assume that they're real, like you do. And
they've had to come up with some explanation because people keep
pestering them. Have any of these scientists seen that seen
that? There's this formation? I don't know. Yes.
Scientists, as far back of the late 40s have wondered about the
causes of these clouds.
It's just a story from the get acoustic shockwaves
produced by jets. There you go.
And I have the I do have a photo of one of the net 15 or
something making one of these acoustic shock waves. And it's a
real cool looking thing. It's this big circle around the
plane.
Yeah, it's not like a hole in the cloud layer.
You've seen that. And I don't know how long it even lasts,
because it's just kind of a spectacular, sometimes
I really have to wonder about your motives. I really do have
all the things from earthquake machines to everything else to
moon bases. You are you get you get almost angry when I talk
about chemtrails you almost get angry about it. Like Like, I
mean, it's not it's the most feasible of all of my theories.
And then out of as
well, yeah, it's feasible.
It's the most feasible but
you know, do assume it's going on and you're over being dusted
with lithium or whatever it is, to placate the angry public. It
just doesn't doesn't wash. I mean, the public's not placated,
they're just dumb. And that's the educational system has got
nothing to do with spraying. Um,
and you you don't think for a second that that there are
reasons why it could be done, and why it should and why why
it's being done. I mean, you can't fathom that for a second
can't
get the parts per million up high enough. It's, there's too
much Gaussian dispersion. There's no way scientifically
dope people up. And it's just not
possible that shit doesn't come floating down to the ground. And
now it goes gets dispersed.
It's all over the place. And probably half of it never gets
to the ground, at least where you'd want it. Right.
So if you do a lot of it, then eventually it does get to the
ground, doesn't it? No. Wow. Wow, that's that's
a crop duster flew over at you know, 500 feet and dumped a
bunch of shit on me. Yeah, you got me. Wow. All right.
Well, I'm a believer in it. And and I will say this, if I find
it disappointing, and I'll send you some documentation, but the
government admits to doing it. And I've sent you that before
and you and what you do is you don't read it.
I read everything you send me.
Anyway, John, I apologise that I
No, no, I don't want to hear any more about it. So I just
mentioned it for God's sake, can we
know I want it? No, no, I need to clear my conscience. I
apologise. I thought I was doing a good thing for the show. Yeah,
I think you can just finish can just finish please. Is it okay?
Ah. I thought it was doing good thing overall for the show. What
I've learned from listening to Howard Stern for a long time, is
if he asks you, then you launch into something, but you let Him
lead the conversation at all times. And if he'd asked me
about the show, of course, I would have told him about the
show. You're right. Not mentioning naevia Wasn't
oversight. That's just four o'clock in the morning. I did
say in the morning, a couple times before the plug the show
in the morning. I did say that. I did not mean to come across as
it being my show. Only my show. Unfortunately, in this case,
sometimes it comes out that way. But it was not intentional. And
I'm sorry that it bothered you so much. I
thought that it didn't bother me that much. I just mentioned it
and I I thought
that you Well, if you had at any point during the show said hey,
you know, good promotion for the show. Then it wouldn't have hurt
so much.
All right. We'll leave it at that. I handled it poorly.
Unlike the John Stuart clip that Eric, advise everyone to listen.
So we've gone well over time here. And we're going to go a
little bit long. It's like eight minutes this clip, is it right
to
announce to the affiliates? Yeah, we're going over time.
So your local news will be eight minutes late. And please
consider supporting the show, because apparently I won't have
a job pretty soon since I forgot to mention the name of my
company.
You shouldn't this got nothing to do that. You should just
apologise to Butler. Really? Wow. No, it's just It goes like
this. Are we shutting down?
Is that what he
said? Yeah. Sometimes I don't know. Because
I didn't mention the name. vvO. Yes. Oh, my God. All right.
Well, no wonder I'm not a PR associate. Coming to you from
the hilltop Watchtower crackpot command centre and get mo nation
West in the People's Republic of Southern California. Yay. In the
morning with John C. Dvorak. I'm Adam curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's garbage day
and the trains are going by loaded with box. Good lots and
lots of containers. Today, a little more than usual. I think
the economy is picking up and there goes one now, I'm John C.
Dvorak. We'll talk
to you again on Sunday for early morning service right here on no
agenda.
The obviously beyond addressing the cleanup of the oil in the
Gulf, President Obama's speech had a larger goal. For decades,
we have known the days of cheap and easily accessible oil were
numbered. Now is the moment for this generation to embark on a
national mission to unleash America's innovation and seize
control of our own destiny. I believe we can.
Using non petroleum based technology, or giant magnets are
hamsters running simultaneously. Some other type of energy source
that we haven't quit. Now is the moment to dramatically improve
our environment and move beyond a petroleum based economy.
Unlike in 2006,
this country can dramatically improve our environment, move
beyond a petroleum based economy and make our dependence on
Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past.
But see back then, in 2006, we didn't do it. Because oil
dependence had at that point only entangled us in two
simultaneous wars. But now, it's gotten us into two wars and a
giant spill. That's the push we need it. Don't know two wars and
a giant spill. It's an awful lot to overcome and also do the Get
off the oil thing. You know, I wish we'd taken care of this
energy problem. 10 years ago, when there was no war and the
economy was great. That would have been a great time to
develop a long term energy strategy.
We need a long term energy strategy to maximise
conservation and maximise the development of alternative
sources of energy. And we would have done
it too. If he hadn't gotten distracted by that other spill
which I should add also took five and a half miles of boom in
the Navy to clean up. That's why they call him the big dog. If
only the guy before Clinton had thought of this,
there is no security for the United States in further
dependence on foreign oil I guess.
He would have done it too. If it hadn't been for these showing
up. Disc brakes that thing could really tow the boat. I don't
have up the mountain I don't live near
I bet I bet the four guys before him would have gotten us off
foreign oil to if they had thought of it.
We will continue supportive research leading the development
of new technologies and more independence from foreign oil
this intolerable dependence on foreign oil standby emergency
programmes to achieve the independence. We want. We will
break the back of the energy crisis. We will lay the
foundation for our future capacity For me America's energy
needs from America's own resources
for me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me fool me eight
times in my life
so counting Barack Obama, the last eight presidents have gone
on television and promised to move us towards an energy
independent future before that, I'm sure they probably did it on
radio. Well, why? Why didn't it work? Why couldn't we do it?
It's not like they didn't have good ideas,
wind turbines, nuclear energy, solar bank, energy efficient
windows,
energy efficient homes,
natural gas,
hydro, American coal, solar power,
ethanol, not just from corn, atomic power, wood chips and
stocks are switchgrass, fuel cells, natural gas, zero
emission, coal fired plants, solar panels, better batteries
for hybrid and electric cars, methanol, ethanol plant products
for gasohol.
Let's just use oil. You don't want we have to, I will not
allow the dinosaurs to have died in vain. So we had good ideas.
And we're good people. We have the world's
highest level of technology. We have the know we have the
ability, unyielding faith worthy of a great nation, we have the
most skilled workforce our resilience
America is a rising nation.
We are an unstoppable oil dependency breaking machine.
Unfortunately, the machine runs on oil.
Maybe we just need a deadline hard and fast like we did with
the moon in 10 years, we will go to the moon and in 10 more years
be somewhat bored by doing so. We just need the president to
lay out reasonable time parameters
at the end of this decade in the year 1980. The United States
will not be dependent on any other country for the energy we
need by 1985 by the year 2000.
Within a matter of three or four years, if we'll just get after
it and treat this like it's
important another great goal to replace more than 75% of our oil
imports from the middle east by 2025.
So Nixon says Let's get off foreign oil by 1980 which
somehow becomes let's not use as much foreign oil by 2025. We've
redefined success and still failed. Which brings us to
perhaps the strangest aspect of this sad some would say
Groundhog Day ish saga of all these eight men of incalculable
power who tried and failed to get us off of oil, one stands
head and shoulders above the others as far as actually doing
something for the environment who I'll give you a hint, what's
got four fingers and resigned in disgrace. There scar he created
the Environmental Protection Agency, he signed the Clean
Water Act of 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act when the
Quahog River was on fire in 1969. He put it out with his own
urine. Even Nixon, even Nixon couldn't get us off oil. And
this was a guy who by the way, was not afraid to bend the rules
to get things done. Couldn't get it done. Because you see, it
turns out Nixon had one major flaw No, not delusional paranoia
coupled with living in an ethical Netherworld. No. You
know why Nixon couldn't get this done.
We will establish a new system that makes high quality health
care available to every American in a dignified manner and at a
price you can afford.
Because Richard Nixon was a communist
