Hello Taliban because this is this is Dakota we want to
coordinate the coordination with you. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Sunday October 17 2010. Time here Gitmo nation media
assassination episode 244. This is no agenda and is now the
fourth day of rain and crap at the hilltop Watchtower crackpot
command centre and Gitmo nation west of the People's Republic of
Southern California. Yay Willie ever stopped in the morning. I'm
Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's not raining, which is
a good thing. I'm John C. Dvorak. Roskill.
Add in the morning to you, John,
in the morning to you and to do in the morning to all the ships
at sea and our
human resources who are all charged up and ready in the chat
room had no agenda chat dotnet the way their government loves
them and remember, it ain't over until the fat guy gets tased
it's raining down there. Oh, man.
It's been so horrible. It's it's literally been like this for
four days. Yeah, I'm in but not just a little bit. It's like
nasty and it's cold. It's like 65 degrees. And you guys have
amazing weather. Right?
Well, we had until today it looks well. It'd probably be it
probably clear up. We woke up and it's foggy right now. Yeah.
Which is unusual for this time of year. Yeah. No, our weather
has been not standing the entire week.
It's it must be the global warming. I don't know what it
is. We have had enormous sun flare activity recently. Have
you been following that?
I think that was predicted. Yeah, but
like the biggest in like nine months or something big flares.
And if it had happened only three degrees to closer to Earth
or whatever. We'd have a geomagnetic storm and NASA I
know
it was in her it was interfering with my DISH Network Satellite.
See I thought I was going to ask you about that because I think
you know if it's only three degrees then you know maybe
there might be something going on so you have noticed it? Oh,
yeah. Interesting.
I think a lot of people I mean it was only short term little
bursts but there was this situation I think it was
yesterday where I literally got I got error message I've never
seen before from the Dish Network like pay your bill. I've
seen that before.
I thought you still had on a freebie for like I have
but to the West because I'm testing and I'm and I'm yes
you're
reviewing it for viewing purposes only.
So anyway, so I got this error message that said it just said
you lost and we do there's no set whatever was up there is not
there anymore. Screaming I was looking at it going oh my god,
they blow
call Adam quick, the satellite is gone.
And then it came back. And then it was I was breaking up a lot.
I have some you know, it's like a bad antenna, you know, kind of
thing, but it's fine. It's okay, now
I remember in I'm gonna say 1995 or 96. We had one of those huge
sun flares. And this is back in the day when people use pagers.
Remember those
pager? Yeah, vaguely, you know, I never had one of those.
I stayed away from it myself. But it was a big thing,
particularly New York, because if you're dealing drugs, you got
to have a pager. But everyone basically had one and these were
the days of the first Motorola. Or I would they call this the
micro TAC or whatever. Remember those first flip phones. They
weren't digital. They are TakStar tech. That's right. They
weren't digital, but they worked on
analogue, the good old days cellular communicate
with with a police scanner, you could listen to lots of fun
stuff.
But you could also hear the other person at the other end.
Exactly, exactly.
And we had one of those big flares and everything went out
pagers went out. And we did have some satellite television at the
time that also went out. And that was like three days this
this stuff was knocked offline. At least that's what we were
told at the time. Of course, I was not fully awakened and not
investigating what people were just telling me. But I think it
was it was just a pure solar flare pager outage or a
satellite outage.
That makes sense to the eye. We used to do one of the things
that during the analogue era, you could listen into other
people's phone conversations if you had any kind of scanner, but
it RadioShack had an interesting product that they brought, which
was an all part they still have it somewhere. It's very handy.
It's an all channel scanner that scans everything in the spectrum
and you can set it for certain frequency you
set it between like what was it? I think it was 400 megahertz and
six I can't
remember the exact but you actually you couldn't set it.
But but if you if you looked around there was a thick there
was a little thing you had if you took the thing apart and you
and there's a little trace that if you soldered it. It turned
out on the cell phone scanning part
was you can literally hear a guy call his wife Hey honey, I'm
gonna be late for dinner and then three SEC's like hey baby
I'm on my way over yeah
what I noticed listening casually was that most of the
cell phone calls were for people usually around noon time
everybody was lost oh my god they're calling their secretary
to get directions the other one was the after hours it was the
guys who believed me this is the three big the big three and I
think it's probably still true the second one was guys calling
their mistress is it saying I have to go home because you know
what she the ball, the old ball and chain has this team and they
going on the
conversations where they would always be like now? Yep, yep.
And then the mistress Rob is gonna be talking a lot you know
what I mean? It's like guys are very non communicative
you're listening into so yeah,
of course I was it that way.
Let's do it. And the third big one were drug deals.
Oh yeah. Well, I was making them so
so there was drug deals going on everyone now had great reception
on my end I was calling now that said I should dig up a couple of
tapes I made because we used to have people over and we some of
these tapes were pretty creepy but there's one guy
tape it I listened occasionally taped it you were taping this
stuff? Oh my god. I've said
there is well over the years it was a form of entertainment at
the time. Yeah, but there was my favourite all time favourite one
was a guy having phone sex. Oh cool. With some somebody and he
says he says oh, hang on a second. I'm coming to the toll
booth
one second. Let me just cover up first. I
mean, come on this stuff is gold. It's cool. You have
that on tape? Well I'm not gonna ask for these tapes
probably somewhere but if I can find any of these tapes which I
doubt by the way it will will run a couple I can't even I
thought was interesting that the problem is when they shift
itself cell tower sometimes you get this effect and I this
happened to me more often than once. It goes goes like this A
guy goes yeah, I know. You know there's a big deal they bear the
board's meeting tomorrow and they're gonna do a three for one
split. And it's gonna be the fucking thing is gonna skyrocket
you got to get in get call your broker right now he's Oh, yeah.
Okay, well, I will what's the symbol again?
Hello. Hello. Could you could always hear the guy because he
was still broadcasting you could always hear that person not
connecting. And you think well yeah, good times when a stock
tips I gave up on it after a few months of entertainment.
Good times. And I want to thank everybody for emailing the term
that you were looking for John that as we wound up on
Thursday's show, you had a miniature pet peeve about the
sucking in of cheekbones and smiling pictures. Yeah. duck
face. That's right.
I don't get the duck face thing, which doesn't look like a duck.
Well, yeah, it doesn't look it looks like a like a duck's ass
kind of duck. So da. Well, we used to call a DA back in the
day. So you can go to anti duck face.com If you want to. If you
want to see some amazing duck face pictures, I really, you
know, this is a very interesting phenomenon. You're so right. I
mean, I've noticed that I've seen it. I've seen my daughter
do it in pictures. But you'll never
ask her why she's doing it. Why? Because you agree with me that
it's unattractive as very
unattractive. And even worse, it's usually white girls, and
then they have to throw a gang sign with their hand. All the
pictures is like you do the duck face and you throw a gang sign.
It's like, what was that? What is that all about? It's
something to do with culture, which I'm very disappointed
with. I've been you know, after that Hip Hop Awards and
everything and I've just been kind of paying attention. I'm
really disappointed. We're headed in the wrong direction.
John's pretty lame. Stuff just lame. It's Oh, by the way, I've
got to I've got the beginnings of my my hip hop. Track Yeah, we
play this for you yeah
yo yo shizzle wheezing yo shizzle teach me how to teach me
how to doki doki doki
pretty good, right?
Sorry I didn't hear it.
It's awesome. It's totally rockin we're getting there.
Hell yeah. kills the hell
is that is The pejorative Yeah.
Okay. It's by the way you you would have loved to have been
here. Over the weekend Mollywood came to visit. And she stayed
overnight and we went out to dinner the three of us. Miss
Mickey Molly and I Appala we got Molly and I got into a big
argument. Oh, good, dude, you would have so loved it. It was
about the R word. And the end the G word about
all retarded. And what's the G word?
Gay? You can't say gay or gay. Right? You can say gay can't say
gay. Yeah, we
went on a rant about that. Oh, my goodness. Oh, boy. We're so
what did she say? Well, we have
to change society from the bottom. So we from the bottom. I
said, I don't know how
to get this straight. I know. The bottom
it but the Mickey was ganging up on me too. It was like,
Oh, you gotta get you get to women. You're totally lost. And
by the way, and we had dinner at Argos. And I'd saved up for this
one goes or spa goes goes goes which is De Niro's restaurant.
Outstanding. They had a special they had linguini with white
truffle. And so this is all going on. And just for like, 20
minutes, I just shut my mouth and just listened and ate this
fantastic linguini with white truffle. It was phenomenal. Have
you ever had that white truffle on? Linguini? Alia Italian? Wow,
cool. That was awesome. So I didn't let any I didn't let it
ruin my dinner. But wow, I really lost on the argument.
It's gonna change. You
got beaten down by two women?
And they're they're big the big women too. Yeah. opinions.
Yeah, it's scary.
I was like a pig. I would like to call you a pig. No, I didn't
hear the pig word, but everything else under the sun.
But I was really like, you know, this is inciting hate.
It's just that this is retarded.
I believe they believe me. I was throwing it all out i one after
another. And then of course, I did the old Hitler thing in the
forum. And I said, Well, why don't we just go kill people in
Afghanistan? And then Molly literally said, Oh, that's like
bringing up Hitler in the forum. I said, Well, yeah. I said, if
we want to change society, we can change it from the bottom.
You've got love. Why don't we stop killing brown people? But
that first start. It was like, well, that's not the argument.
Okay. All right.
So what was the argument? It was about using the word retarded?
Yeah, the
MOLLE really believes it's it's a horrible thing to do. It
incites hate against the mentally challenged children.
It incites? Yes.
And it teaches young children who don't know any better. That
retarded is bad and therefore it's hate. It's
bad. Always hate. I don't get
that. I'm just telling you. Look. This is why I was sitting
there going. Oh, John, could you just walk through the door right
now? I need you I need you. I need my
counter punch crap. I was I was on my days at Berkeley. I can
handle the kinds of things I was weak from any angle by the way I
could take I could have taken their sides and destroyed you.
I know. I know. I have so much to learn from you. I'm not ready
to snatch the pebbles from your hand yet. Master.
Ruff, ruff, go, I can understand that. So let's get get a couple
of get some executive producers. We had a really poor a couple as
the word hit up for a week. I want to tell people out there
the varric.org/na Please donate a little more than you did this
week. We need to support this show and keep it alive. I have a
theory as to why our numbers just fell through the floor
because
Wait a minute, let me guess. Is it me again? It's usually my
fault. Whenever the numbers dropped. I could say you
shouldn't
do this. You did that. It's like people hate you. Hey, what
wasn't this temporary said this. Should I get the emails? Do you
want me to you want me to tell you what I think it was? George
Clooney.
Wow, yeah. People love George Clooney. Right. And we had the
and we had the art and everything mocked Jordi monk
George Clooney. Very bad idea. Yeah.
Yeah, no Clooney is on the fast track for the presidency. Now I
see it. Yeah, it's
he's there. Right. He's totally there. And the whole Donald
Trump,
George Clooney. We said he's part of this. You know, he's
either paid and formatted. The CIA is part of the something.
There's no way he's doing all the stuff he's doing unless he's
like, he's plugged into some intelligence. You sure?
It wasn't just a crappy show?
I don't think it was a crappy show.
It was it was it was it was just Clooney don't mess with Clooney.
And then we put Clooney on the art. Yeah, it was bad with a
goofy look and a CIA logo behind him and three monkeys. I mean,
come on. Yeah, you're
right. Yeah. Well, we can't do that anymore than because it's
hurting the revenue stream. Yeah, like big time.
I mean, we do our part we at least we took a shot and
we did you know, and you know what, in in four years from now
Thank you, darling. Or was it not even that? Yeah, well, what
he'll probably be six years. So run in the 2000. What 16?
Well, it depends on who wins this next year, then we'll
we'll have to say, well, we told you so. You guys didn't.
We told you who are you anyway telling us so he told you so.
So we have, we have 210 1010 special executive producers. Now
we have them cited singularly which is Ernie Ernst and Zachary
Gisa. Minh, which is pronounced us giesen giesen Musement
Eastman, right. He told us how to pronounce it. And we already
forgot exactly we're sorry. Zachary Guzman then we have our
contributor for this week is Janice Kang, who gave us
$420.10, which is 42 times 10 plus 10.
As a note, I have a note he has a note. Yeah, she says, Hi,
John. This is regards to the 442 times 10 plus zero dot 10
contribution for 1010 10. As a woman, I'm uncomfortable asking
for a DD a DD I guess she means a de douche. Yeah, really? Is
that uncomfortable for women to ask for?
I haven't seen too many. No, I made a couple of the younger
women. I don't think I would guess that she has, she doesn't
like to be in her 30s Because I think that's where the cut off
is. And the young you know, we'd have done it, it's been done.
So she instead would like to have a bit of karma so we can
handle that. You've got karma. The second request is for me to
overflow that one. That's nice, isn't it? The second request is
for measurements. I'd like to get the circumference of your
heads and then she actually stipulates knowing us the ones
on your shoulders. This is the woman who doesn't want to be
deduced is for a project I have in mind which might turn into a
bit of money for no agenda. Oh, thanks for shedding light on
issues that haven't seen the light of day and ages. What to I
don't know how do you measure your head size
you get one of those
and see if it fast. Essentially, you get
a fabric tape and you wrap it around the the cross your
forehead and around the back.
Okay, so we will have to do that.
Like majoring waists or bustline. I
love the way you say major. It's just so proper.
So you say I think okay, so that was it. So we hope that we have
that was it. That was it? Yeah, we don't even have an Associate
Executive Producer this week. No, knighthoods. Nothing. Oh,
no, we do have a knighthood coming up. But that's a mate.
Good. It
was from last night. Good night. Oh, man. Wow. Okay.
dvorak.org/na We need to pay bills, people and everyone else
out there, you've got to go out and propagate the formula at
least do that. For us.
Our formula is this. We go out for people in the mouth.
With me
and Janice, of course, as a executive producer of the no
agenda programme, Episode 244, you have received an official
credit that can go on your resume. And as always, unlike
Hollywood, we will vouch for you. Anytime someone brings that
into question says what is this? What is this executive producer
credit? What is the show? What is this? You say? Excuse me? I
shall call the my my show creators right now. The show
runners as they're known in Hollywood, and they will verify
it.
Exactly, yes.
Well, the the only thing I've really been focused on, I'm
gonna have a lot of different stuff. Besides the fact that
gold close to 313 $172. And that was actually down five so it hit
$1,380.
Yeah, to hit 14 didn't even hit 15.
It's gonna hit fit. Remember, I predicted 15 By the end of the
year before it craps out. Yeah, you keep saying that. Keep
going, Johnny. Boy, you've been saying this since eighth.
Anything I'll do? You'll start crapping out after the election.
You watch.
I don't know, man, this this foreclosure crisis, which is the
other thing I really focus my intention on that's there's
something going on here which has not been mentioned, or at
least let's say it's I noticed you had a couple of clips on it
too. I think that things are being covered up the real the
true nature of the problem is not being addressed.
And, okay, well, let's hear what your true nature the problem is,
well, this is the beginning of the unravelling of derivatives.
And people cavalierly say, oh, you know, it's the it's the
swaps and stuff was bombed it up and but they're glossing over
what that really means and I happen to understand a little
bit about derivatives and WAPs and the reason why they can't
find any of this crap. So for those of you who are not
indoctrinated by American news, on the heels of the financial
crisis now there's, of course they have to foreclose and all
these homes that people aren't, aren't paying for anymore. But
then no one seems to know where the ownership papers are. It's
like, where's that deed? Who owns that place? So the courts
have been RAM rotting foreclosure documents through
and just, you know, they call it what Robo signings I think is
what the term is. And in the process of that, there's all
kinds of distractions, like, people's homes are foreclosed on
who who have who owned their home outright, or had been
paying their mortgages, etc. So it's a big clusterfuck,
essentially. But the real problem is the way derivatives
work, not not a regulated entity. And I have witnessed
this, I'll just have to say it again, I built a derivatives
trading system was my company in 1995. For Bankers Trust, who has
long since gone, this shit just happened on on papers, faxes and
stuffed in some guys draw. And, and if you know how swap work,
do you know what how swap works, John?
Yeah, kinda. But I mean, I can't, I can't design one. If
that's what you
Well, yeah, you can actually you can, it's very simple. All you
need is a party and a Counterparty. But it's
interesting to understand what happens here. And then then you
see the problem. So let's say I'm in London, and I have to buy
a machine in New York, and you're in New York, and you have
to buy some materials, or you have to lease an office space in
London. So in order to hedge your risk of very basic swap, as
it's known, in order to hedge your risk, on currency changes,
which could, of course, could really change your bottom line,
you come together, you sign an agreement, a private agreement,
which is faxed back and forth. And you say, Okay, I'm gonna
borrow a million pounds from you, and you're gonna borrow $2
million from me, and we'll have it at this set rate. And then
we're, you know, it's kind of it's a wash, basically. So we're
swapped, we're out even. So that works. So now I've I've hedged
my risk, and you've had your risk, if the dollar and the
pound changes significantly, you're basically going to be at
the at the same rate that you locked it in with with this
other private party. The problem is, is then I can go take my $2
million guarantee from you. And I can start to swap that out
with somebody else, say, Well, look, I got $2 million over
here. And that guarantees me you know, 3% interest a year at a
fixed rate. So I can do something with the spread there
of 3%. So I can mess around with 3%. And then that goes on and
on, the next guy does the same thing. And all of this is was
never really documented. In fact, the trading system that I
built, you'll love this, they wanted a web based derivatives
trading system. So what happened was, the guy would enter in a
form, essentially, like a CGI script, we had no idea what we
were doing in the bank. So we built like a CGI script, it
would take the form data, it would then hand it off to an an
Excel spreadsheet, which would run it through their Black
Scholes model to see if the risk was appropriate. And then it
would it would drop a file onto a server and then a process
would run every 15 minutes, see if anything new was there, and
then it would stick it into lotus notes. So you know, that
shits gone forever. If it's a notes, because notes databases
are like, no one knows how they work. And that's, and that's the
problem. And so when you when you do this with mortgages,
which is no difference whether you're doing with a mortgage, or
whether you're doing it with the with currency, the same thing
happened and it's all just it's the Lotus Notes database is it's
um, faxes, it's guys who just had shit laying around, it was
never really properly documented. And that's why they
can't figure it out. And so I think this is the beginning of
the unravelling of the true derivatives crisis and it's in
everyone's freaking out, look at the stocks are down.
The they want to regulate these things is probably good luck.
Well, that's the thing. It's like, if you say, for example,
say for example, at least in this in this form, because
there's no real there's not one model for these things. No,
because it's just a private is because it's a bunch of deals.
Like I say, Hey, do you can you loan me 50 bucks?
And I say, Yeah, sure, you know, yeah, here's
your 50 bucks. Give me a piece of paper that says you're going
to pay me back and that's not the Okay, here's the piece of
paper and you take the piece of paper and say, Hey, do you hate
the vortex gonna pay this eventually? I don't know when
I'll sell it to you for for 40 bucks to your neighbour. Yeah,
exactly. So he's holding the paper now for and you got the 40
bucks right now. And I say, I just started calling
you up and you're like, who are you? Douchebag I don't know you.
I don't know. Like, how do you regulate? This is just a bunch
of bull crap going on in the Background. It has to resolve
itself. I mean, this is the whole thing. I mean, this is why
I,
we know that this is a $600 trillion problem the President
said so himself. And this is now starting to unravel. Because
it's not just the mortgages, it's everything. And more. It's
not just like, it's only mortgages tied up in this, I'm
sure. It was like, here's a mortgage and here's like some,
some shit I borrowed that I'll throw into the mix. You know,
it's all in there.
Well, here's the here's what they should they should just
ignore the whole thing. Exactly. No, they should let it resolve
itself. You know, somebody owes somebody some money under some
circumstance. Good. Go, go knock yourself out. You're in an
unregulated deal. Maybe you got to bring a guy with a baseball
bat to collect I don't know.
So they've got the shields out everywhere trying to say exactly
what you just said. Let me give you a quick example from
Bloomberg Television.
Okay. Well, meanwhile, the politics of the foreclosures are
heating up. My next guest says the delay will impact the
nation's economic recovery. Alex Sanchez is the CEO of the
Florida Bankers Association, up here in New York for a change,
Alex, nice to see you. Great to see you, buddy. Good, good. And
I saw your head nod when I was saying look, this is going to
delay. Essentially the clearing out of these foreclosures,
right,
buddy? Look, if someone has been wrong here in this process,
let's make them whole.
I love it. When people say that let's make them whole man. Let's
just make them whole. Let's make them whole.
What kind of horse crap does that make him whole? That means
we'll just we'll make your whole idea what do you in this eighth
grade?
We're gonna look if you got a problem, a divorce. If you got a
self esteem course in the eighth grade, and we're just gonna
make you whole man Shut up. We'll make you whole on the back
end. Don't worry about it, brother.
But let's not hold up the hundreds of 1000s of homes that
really need to be cleared and sold.
That I love. We need to clear this shit and sell it. Let's
play this crap out and sell that shit. We're getting hungry over
here.
Sorry, economic recovery can continue now I will tell you
before banker even files a foreclosure lawsuit. That's a
very painful decision. Something that the banker has tried to
work out for us. This is the funniest thing ever. You gotta
listen to what he says guys. This guy's a stooge. He's a
douche. Yeah, he's she said, Dude,
she's the DOJ you can be the new word douchebag
but he is the president of the Bankers Association. He's uh you
know, it's a really tough decision like you know, we
struggle in agony thinking that for this Alright, let me finish
a little bit of this
workout for months and months and months with the mortgage
holder and when it's not successful, and then when
everything has been exhausted and then the fall the
foreclosure sounds
like some of these processes have gone a ride I mean, judges
approving cases and 30 seconds you know, lawyers not showing up
the buyers or the sellers not showing up for the sellers.
Well, the problem is what they call it as the rocket docket. I
mean, you know, there's 1000s
of rocket docket here for you get your jacket, Dude, I got
your rocket docket right here.
Many of them are flippers many of them are not
sterile assholes. They're flippers they're just flippers
that no one gives a crap these guys that did no good. They're
no good these these people who are holding the market. It's
very painful. It's very painful. We got to like, you know, like
foreclose on him. It takes months of agony. Agony. They
just flip us
there's many of them are flippers many of them are not
the homesteaded property. Okay. And you know, and having these
this moratorium is just going to slow up our economic process. If
we can recover.
If we can't recover, it's just slowing everything down.
Reports have shown that we're never gonna get to the bottom
and start going up. If we can't get these homes resold in the
marketplace. You can't clear out that individual cannot so and
when you buy a home what happens Betty, you buy refrigerators,
you put new floors down, you buy furniture, so it's really going
to hurt our economic recovery. And
that's right. It's gonna hurt economic recovery. Douchebag
goes on forever. But he's the he's out there. Shilling and
this Betty. Yeah. Hi. It's great to see you.
Bloomberg has the worst. Yeah,
that's right. I saw you nodding. You want to listen to how they
ended up like they're gonna go bone each other in the restroom
after the interview. I mean, it's disgusting the way these
journalists work working
with folks in Washington. And folks like you to get the word
out. And I think it's very important that folks
like you to get the word out. There it is. Hey, folks, like
you get the word out. Hey, come on Bloomberg. Get the word
out. The policymakers listen to to you, Betty, because Betty
Betty
they listened to you, Betty, Betty, look into my eyes look
deep into my eyes. The policymakers listen to you, but
and it's the truth. Unfortunately, the policymakers
has said they're watching MSNBC and CNBC, CNBC and Bloomberg.
And then Betty is actually helping them make policy
decisions. Let's see makers
listen to to you, Betty, because this is a very important part
for our economy.
Well, I mean, the press is certainly covering this. This
development. Okay, Alex, thank you so much. Great to see you
stopping by. Thank you. Great to see you. Thanks for
a great Hey, Alex. Great, mousy at dinner. Okay. Thanks, Betty.
Thanks for helping make policy. Betty Boop.
So these these pricks in the banks, they take all this
government money and of course now it's been, you know, almost
admitted by Obama that you know just to protect the bonuses of
the bankers because Heaven forbid
what if they left for Asia? I mean
if they didn't get their bonus they'd be living in us in
Singapore you get the bonuses there which was by by the by the
way the way I see it it's good riddance but that's another
story so here's the so they take they have all this money
government billions of dollars is thrown at the bank trillions
and so they get the they get they go through this foreclosure
process now I have a clip from a local from KP X locally here.
That's kind of a little investigative piece on
foreclosure employees. Who did they hire? And what did what
kind of salaries not so much the money they're getting?
These are people who, who actually who weren't filling out
the forms or weren't doing their jobs that were trying to rush
these these foreclosures into the market. Illegally I might
add Yes. And this just due to that you just talked to or just
we just played that guy is a defending this practice this
play foreclosure employees in its entirety and tell me that
you're not sickened by this story.
The lender foreclose repossessed and resold Thomas's home in
three months. His attorneys believe it's another case in a
growing stack of foreclosures pushed through by so called Robo
signers. The lawyers interviewed 150 among them out of work
beauticians Walmart clerks and fast food workers, given
impressive titles, but with little or no experience hired to
sign paperwork as fast as they could. The inexperienced young
workers were called Burger King kids at JPMorgan Chase. The New
York Times says frazzled workers at Citi Group and GMAC sometimes
tossed the papers into the trash. They're signing false
affidavits, and assigning affidavits that would say things
like every allegation in the complaint is true. And they
never saw the complaint, but some of them have no idea what a
complaint was. In one deposition Wells Fargo employees Z Ma said
she was signed 300 to 500 documents a day, which stated
that she had examined all books, records and documents and each
foreclosure and had personal knowledge of the money owed.
When questioned my admitted the only thing she examined was her
own name and title, Vice President of loan documentation
and was a college dropout who worked for a home decor company
and had two weeks of training at Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo told
CBS News its foreclosure affidavits are accurate, and it
will take corrective action with employees who do not follow
procedure. In San Francisco Don Knapp, CBS five
procedure slave
now that's meant these are the same people took the Census.
It's the same people.
Some bonehead just sign this just sign as many as you can,
will take you will take further action on their on their
irregularities. Wells Fargo has got to be at the sleazebag. What
kind of an organism who would do business with them ladies and
gentlemen out there if you have an account with these peoples it
close it there screw it you're going to if they're going to
pull this kind of stuff and they're going to make some bogus
excuse they're obviously going to end up screwing you over
somewhere along the line
well and what became painfully aware to me once again listening
to all this and actually we had a very nice note come in from
one of our human resources. You know, cash is gone, money is
gone it's meaningless. It's just shit in a database the stuff
written on paper it's we're in this weird society where our
belief system is that there's still value on things and it's
these little digits that are attached to it but it's
completely meaningless and the people who are propagating it
really don't give a crap as long as they have lots of numbers as
long as they've got the digits and it's killing everything and
everybody everything well anyway, this guy that's human
resource tried to get $11,000 in cash from a city bank I'm sorry
Bank of America.
Oh another bank that I hate
that didn't have it. No, no, no, we all they only have $5,000 in
cash at each bank. If you want more than 5000 then you you have
to submit a written request and yes
sir banks anymore. This is bullcrap. These are just
computer centres,
and then later he got a note.
They don't even need that big safe and you know, of course,
the fact that the guy even said where's your safe and then the
manager came over and start to give him crap about it. What do
you need it for?
What you need we need cash for Hey, hey, what do
you need cash for? You got to sign this so we can get in the
gate you gotta gotta note. Dear Mr. X. Hope all is well with
you. We need your assistance in addressing some questions that
have come up on your account. Because he of course took us
took the money out eventually. In particular to cash deposits.
On September 22 2010, the amount of $15,000 and on October
8 2010 $8,000, in order to assist our compliance department
to better understand the activity, please provide an
explanation for the cash in source of funds, the purpose for
these transactions and is the activity anticipated to continue
in the future. What is the bank? You can't take your money to the
bank, you can't get out of the bank.
And what's a grand to do with money laundering drug business
or
curatives? Financing terrorism? Yeah. But but he literally
depositing it in the bank unless the banks financing terrorism.
He put money in the bank. He took it out from America and he
put it into the bank and they need the compliance department
needs to know where that money came from. Hey, how'd you get
that money? That's crazy. And to us, it's
like the cops that have been pulling people over throughout
the United States and then they find more than a few $1,000 on a
confiscated saying it's drug money.
Or at TSA.
Yeah, TSA has been looking askance at everything that comes
through they even though they're not supposed to
so this is why I get really negative about about what's
happening. So not good what are we going to do?
We can't do anything but Bitch Bitch about a bitch about that's
all we do is complain. What is this other foreclosure clip you
have? Let's see where was it? We we did focus on foreclosure
first all what this is, this is from this is kind of a yeah,
this is ancillary but similar. This is the Sharon angle. Harry
Reid debate.
This is apparently a very close race in Nevada.
Yeah, and Sharon angles kind of an idiot, but She means well,
and and Reid is just a total douche. I mean, the guy's a
sleaze ball is slow talk and won't answer questions, right.
He's just a stooge. And so angle can win because you know, this
guy wants so so that they actually had a pretty good
debate with a guy from of all places PBS, local PBS, station
national true asked pretty hard questions. And he was asking
read this question about focusing on foreclosure instead
of focusing on health care. And read wouldn't answer the
question. And the guy came back at him, which I thought was
interesting. So I have the clip, where the guy asked reed to
explain himself and read then I speed up the tape because I
can't stand listening to this guy. So we got we raced through.
Yeah, we raced through this bogus answer, and then the guy
guy reiterates his Hey, you didn't answer the question. I've
done very well.
Very good. You hardly ever hear that is what they give you a non
answer, and the guy didn't. Very good. Let's listen,
in light of the expensive mandates on small business and
the intense voter backlash. Why didn't you and President Obama
focus on jobs and the foreclosure crisis first,
knowing how Nevada has suffered more than any other state.
For a long time in this country, insurance companies have
dominated the health care delivery system.
You pay your premiums, he gets sick or hurt, they walk away
from you. We passed health insurance reform because
we are the commercial, make it off synchronous, and then pull
that glory just in the debt but $1.2 trillion. No longer. He has
to think that we have to do in clinics North America for 12
years. I don't know the facts are wrong with
anything is that he actually makes sense. For the whole time
it creates jobs 1000s and 1000s of jobs. He said, I'm gonna ask
you that again.
Why didn't you and President Obama focus on jobs and the
foreclosure crisis first, knowing how Nevada has suffered
more than any other state? We did focus on foreclosure first.
can I resist
How do you spell Duett?
D O T ch so so it could also be d w t ch that'd be sadly that
seems to me dude. So the guy he could guy goes on says the
insurance companies have dominated blah blah blah they
dominate now they're they're dominated even more I mean the
whole healthcare thing make gives the insurance companies
really have free rein and guaranteed customers. Wow, what
an asshole. Hey, now Now I did get a I did get a clip from this
thing that was I don't know I don't know if you knew this or
when it's when she said it Sharon angles said something
kind of interesting. And when she said it I said that's
interesting because I don't I don't know that I knew this.
Because it didn't come out in in any of the mainstream stuff and
I didn't read it anywhere. Maybe you have and you knew about it,
but I didn't. Can you play the Sharon angle clip? Yeah.
What we have here is an illegal alien problem and the solution
is simple. Secure the borders and force the Last, I think
every state should have a sheriff like Joe Arpaio, and we
should be supporting Arizona instead of suing Arizona, like
Senator Reid and President Obama have when they sued Arizona,
they also allowed 11 foreign countries to join in that suit.
Senator Reid, you've allowed 11 foreign countries to dictate our
immigration law. That's just nuts.
Really? I didn't know that.
I didn't know that how to work anyway, let me get this straight
government, our federal government, which brings up the
10th amendment issue, again, by the way, our federal government
has sued Arizona and then let 11 Other countries join our
government in suing one of our states.
Yeah, and which ones how many? How many governments border on
the Arizona?
Well, there's only one Oh, that's
what I mean. What are those other 11 doing? Well, probably.
They were some of these big gangs come from they're probably
in on this. I don't know. We have to look it up. Maybe
somebody in the chat room can
crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, she's right. It is just crazy. You
know, this is a change. I think this is an old one and old chain
and typically I throw them out I get angry at chain mail. But
this is one of those funny ones. Whether it's true or not, it at
least gives you some sentiment about how stupid politicians
are. Have you seen this one? It has
to do with a I'm sure I have. It has to do
with travel with a ticketing agent who gets all these stupid
calls from congressional staffers and but also from from
ranking politicians.
Oh, there's one of those comedy chain mails. Yeah, but I will go
ahead read a couple
of KFC This is Carol Shea Porter asked for an aisle seat so her
hair wouldn't get messed up being near the window. is good.
Let's see. There's a couple of I'm gonna get the good ones
here. Senior Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders called furious
about a Florida vacation package or doesn't say big Florida
package we did. I asked what was wrong with vacation? Oh, it is a
vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean view
room. The agent tried to explain that that's not possible since
Orlando is in the middle of the state. There's not not actually
on the ocean. He replied, Don't lie to me. I look at the map.
Florida is a very thin state.
Aid and I don't believe that Well, I
don't either. And aid for Janet Napolitano once called and asked
if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the
reservation notice he had only a one hour layover in Dallas when
I asked him why he wanted to rent a car. So well. I heard
Dallas has a big airport. We need to a car to drive between
gates to save time. I couldn't believe that one. I think
Dallas is a big airport and you could drive drive save time, but
I don't believe it. I don't believe I think it's
both and here's my favourite an aide to Senator John Kerry. Her
name is Lindsay Ross called the given names here. So I kind of
liked that call to inquire about a package to Hawaii after going
over all the costs. You said Would it be cheaper to fly to
California and then take the train to Hawaii?
No, this is this this chain this chain letters is a pack of lies.
Okay. It made
me smile in the morning. Well,
that's a good thing.
It certainly did. It made me smile.
Ah, anti un protests going on in Haiti right now which I'm sure
you've seen that all over the news, John. Is it all over the
new No,
there's anything going on in Haiti? Yes, it's it's all
over the news. Protesters carrying banners saying Down
with the occupation which seems like a pretty poor slogan to me.
were forced back by United Nations soldiers. Security
personnel traded blows with demonstrators and troops started
firing in the air with helicopters hovering above I'd
say that's newsworthy.
I would think it's newsworthy a and white your day of course the
question remains why wasn't it covered? Which will be we know
why but we're
just supposed to be a friendly island because that's where
we're gonna have our hotel.
I didn't know there were UN troops with the blue helmets
over
there. No, really didn't know that. They weren't that What are
you talking about?
I know they're setting up shop. There were like 30,000 un
guys there before the earthquake even hit. They were just
waiting. They were they were ready. Are you kidding me? They
were all
it all during the earthquake. You never saw any blue helmets.
You did?
Yes, you did. I'm sorry. You're incorrect. I forgot
demonstrators also burned the flag of Brazil, the nation that
has contributed the largest contingent to the international
peacekeeping elevate peacekeeping force firing their
guns in the air. Haitians feel that the presence of the UN
Security person doesn't offer much in terms of ordinary
Haitians living in camps? Yeah, no shit. Congratulations. It's
supposed to be a friendly island. So that's why you're not
gonna see anything. And then further investigation by the
Associated Press news agency has determined that none of the $1.5
billion, that one point $15 billion, this is the money that
they promised after the money they promised didn't come. None
of the one point $15 billion in rebuilding funding promised by
the US has arrived yet. But there has only been a year. But
there have been reports of a rise in drug drug trafficking
and criminal gang activities. And this, of course, spurred me
on to go take a look at the Clinton Foundation once again.
Clinton foundation.org, who literally you sent your money
to? And I'm still looking for the it's the the form is IRS
Form 99990. I think it is. Hold on, let me let me check. Just
want to make sure I'm saying it right. Yeah, 9904, a 501. C.
Corp. And he is still not filed his for 2009. And I looked up
the IRS publications. And this is by the way is a document that
is open for public record it states and so right there on the
on the form that this open for public scrutiny, because of
course they're not paying taxes. It is required to file this on
the first day of the fourth month preceding the year of
which taxes are due, you can get a three month extension, which
is not automatic, you have to request it I'm sorry, it's the
15th day of the fourth month. And you can say the form nine t
has to be found the 15th day of the fifth month. At the end of
the tax year. You get three months extension and for some
reason you can also get a second three month extension. I didn't
know you could do that. Yeah, but apparently you can
on a format news October October 15 Was it has to be filed now.
So it would be now Right? Yeah. Okay,
we just filed our taxes. Yeah, October 15. Right. You mean you
mean which I now believe may may be the reason a lot of people
didn't give us any donations this day because I think we I
think our group at point his probably in that same kind of a
category put it off, put it off and then pay and that the bite
it was way too much money we had to pay. It was outrageous.
Did you have it all saved up?
Yeah, well, I don't have anything now. I'm broke. Like
certainly, yeah, no,
I hear you. I hear you my brother. Uh, hey, I mean, I'm
saving everything. That's why the economy is so screwed
because it's John and Adam on spending completely buggered.
I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I did my tour. Sorry. Yeah. I paid
my taxes on time this year. First time in a long time. And
yeah, that sucked. And then again, I don't want to go into
it sucks. It fucking sucks. And it sucks the most. I know what
the what it's going to it's going to these assholes. And
they're buying shit
to the bankers who then hire idiots to screw people out of
their homes.
Which bags? Yeah. And it's to go kill brown people in foreign
lands. Did you see this? Hillary Clinton thing at the
Commonwealth Club?
Yep. I haven't taken any clips from it yet. I was working on
it. Yeah, just hard to listen to. She's so boring.
Well, what I like about her is, is she at least will she
doesn't. So unlike the President, when it's about when
it's about Pakistan. And this actually, I have an appropriate
clip. It's about taxes. This is kind of cool. Unlike our
president who just says, Well, you know, right. Just due to
something out there they what what did you say? Clinton
actually say and we'll talk for 20 minutes and lie her fat ass
off.
Oh yeah, she's a nonstop chatterbox. And she's a liar.
And
one of our producers sent us a little note with actually some
time codes. She keeps whenever she goes into the lie she
touches her face. You can watch her she's a real telegrapher on
this one.
Yeah, no it Did you know that O'Reilly has a woman come on.
Who does? Body language stuff? Yes. And she's actually very I
mean, I don't know how accurate any of this stuff is but she's
really hot which is kind of cool. She's kind of cute. Yeah,
she's but anyways, she comes on and and she caught she did they
did a thing with Clinton. And the classic was in yesterday's
us. She explained it then you watch it you Oh my god. She's
right. Clinton was was was saying she was saying something
that had a positive way while shaking her head back and forth.
Nothing no lying. I'm lying. Right? And then she said she'd
say something. No, I'm not gonna do that well nodding her head.
I'm not really nice she is she she really had some training or
she needs her MK Ultra chip adjusted because she's given a
lot away when she does that,
ya know it listening to this woman dissect that Clinton's
body language is like, oh my god Clinton, she's just gives every
she gives it all away. She's terrible. So here's just keep
your head straight. You know, she shouldn't wait, move, wiggle
or do anything except talk. So she should look straight ahead.
So she,
when she gets too comfortable, right, because she's in a room
of elites, and all of her little ass soccer friends. She's like,
Yeah, and she's like Queen Bee. And should her nipples are all
hard and stuff. You know it, you just know that she's totally
getting off on this. So here she is talking about Pakistan. And
this is total economic hitman stuff, total economic hitman
stuff, where she is essentially saying we've got a crackdown in
Pakistan, because they need to raise taxes to pay us for a
helping them. I mean, is that not the definition of how
economic hitman stuff works?
One of it's one of the technique. Yeah, it's one of the
one of the models that
she's touching her face the entire time. It's, it's just
amazing.
In Pakistan, as well as outside of Pakistan, the United States
cannot and should not be expected to help Pakistan with
its development needs
development needs. Notice that they need it needs some
development like, Yeah, our presence there. So we can own
the region
unless Pakistanis do more to help themselves. And that
includes reforming a tax system that does not tax the elite and
the landed property class. Pakistan has one of the lowest
tax per GDP percentages of 9% in the world.
This is amazing to me. How many donations that we receive from
Pakistan? None None. If this is a tax haven, and they speak
English, they're like, a tonne of a tonne of money over 9% tax.
We're not listening to our show. That's the problem. No kidding.
They
got no problems. They're like, hey, all they all they got some
drones.
Drones are kind of a pain in the ass. They got 9% tax rate, which
is awesome. You'd have awesome, and it shouldn't. But you know,
and by some theories, I mean, there are low tax rates around
the world in different countries. 9% Ours being
extremely high, but especially for corporations. And so she's
telling them what how to run their country. Interesting.
And so we are working with them on reforming their tax system.
Because some of the richest people in Pakistan, pay less
than $100 in all taxes. Awesome. And
package Pakistan. Mickey pack the bags. We're going to package
them. Wow. Bring your boots. Boots. Oh crap.
Of course it's bullcrap. But we are helping. We are helping
them. reform their tie. What are we doing? Who are we? Who is Who
does she represent?
Who does she think she is?
She thinks she is my goodness.
When I was in London, no. Where was I Brussels yesterday?
You everyone laughed, like, Oh, that's so funny. She's so busy.
She's so incredibly cool. Hillary that she doesn't even
know where she is. What day is this? It's Tuesday. Well, it
must be Kalamazoo. But she's a rock star. And who is she
hanging out with? With that evil elitist? Baroness bitch.
I was with Cathy Ashton, who's the newly appointed High
Representative of the European Union. And we did our best,
she's high. But they're both sitting there. So baked baked
press conference about aid for Pakistan. And I said and she
certainly echoed our expectation that the elite of Pakistan do
more to help their own country if they expect us to help them.
amazing talk.
Very interesting. Yeah, well, you did we get there retargeting
them, it's there. These guys are toast. In some way, shape, or
form. We're going to take that we're going to take their
country, their their resources, we're going to take the
pipeline, we're going to take their money, we're going to make
them tax them and take it and and they're going to be
wondering what happened. Right and we're going to be but it's
going to be all those terrorists fighting us. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds
good.
And well, of course the there's only one real reason for us
helping them John. You know why we're helping them, don't you?
Well, you tell me I'll kind of course I'm sorry. No, no.
No, no, I'm sorry. It's not. It's the Taliban, I'm sorry,
rebranded, rebrand, just
really testing the waters on this. And it is very challenging
because many of the leaders live, not in Afghanistan, but in
Pakistan.
Oh, there you go. Sir. There is.
No, that's funny. That's all we've been talking about for the
last 234 or five years. But why are we even in Afghanistan?
And many of the sanctuaries for the Taliban in Pakistan? is
where the plant
sanctuary Do you just do you have the same idea of sanctuary
where there's like palm trees and topless chicks walking
around with, you know,
their Obama brought this whole this whole meme into the play
before he got elected? And we should not be surprised by any
of it.
What the sanctuary? Yeah,
I mean, he says he would before he was elected, he ran I want me
to have to go bomb Pakistan, because that's where all these
guys are, there's sanctuaries.
But don't you just get the idea that it's like a luxury
sanctuary. And they're all just hanging out. And like,
actually, I think a sanctuary I you that's the way that's the
way you your mind works. When I think of sanctuary, I think of
like, a kind of a calm Buddhist monastery, surrounded by people
chanting. Oh, no, no, no, no.
And the organisation and the direction, and the coordination
with al Qaeda continues.
Sorry, we have to go. He's got to bring him back in the
coordination with al Qaeda. Hey, hey, al Qaeda, this is Taliban
speaking. Now, we want to coordinate some coordinates with
the
Taliban? Because this is this is this is we want to coordinate
the coordination we do. What's good?
What does that mean? So we have also as part of the review that
the President ordered, back in January, oh nine, we have
engaged much more intensely with the Pakistani leadership, both
the civilian government and the military leadership, and have
made it very clear to them that we want a different
relationship, but we expect
I really want a more open relationship. It's not just not
working for me anymore. You know, I think we need to see
other countries. How are you feeling about a job
there their distance and going after? Not just the Pakistani
Taliban who threatened them, but the Afghan Taliban, the Haqqani
Network and
the what? The Haqqani
Network Connie network who was who those guys this is new to

knighthood order of the 10 1010s the triple 10s
Right. And that's it. Okay, well, that's that means dry
bread and water this this week craft? Yeah,
I think the tax thing is is the is that including caused this
downturn in donations, we have to pick it up. I don't want to
hound people with emails constantly. So I you know, I
just rather they listen to us beg for money and, and their own
karma on the show and you can go to divorce that org slash and a
channelled divorce.com/n A or the no agenda show.com and link
to the donations there. All the deals are there for you to take
advantage of.
Yeah, and maybe we just don't restate it often enough that you
know, we've chosen for a model that that just doesn't work the
way typical media does. It kind of works for us, but not well
enough. It's never worked well enough. But it's I feel it's the
right way to go. Because we can literally sit here and we can
say anything we need to or we feel necessary. We get tonnes of
people who appreciate appreciate what we're doing.
Right? We need more listeners, which should help and by the
way, you can you know, we would make twice as much money the way
I figured or more maybe three times as much if we did if we
had advertising but we cannot sustain advertising on this show
if I mean Adam curry cannot talk about the secretary of state
having hard nipples earlier. No advertiser will put up with
that. Oh, you can't say that. It's rude.
I'm amazed you put up with it, John.
It's amazing. I put up with it. I find it like it's an eye roll
or sometimes it's sometimes it's amusing and I get sometimes the
image is just something you don't want to think about. So I
got an eye roll for Mickey on that one. She went like what?
Y'all were Miss See we're missing. We need to telephones
ringing. That's the problem, John.
That's yeah, we got to have our telephones renewed. We're asking
for money at divorce.org/and a,
hey, we've got one called standing by. Yeah.
And by the way, in October, we are having a couple extra shows
because of the weird month that it is, which has been nothing
but bad luck this month. And which I think is some of that.
So once we're out of this month, hopefully things will improve.
But by the way, we're providing I guess, this month, maybe 20
hours of of rock solid. You know, programming for people who
are mostly commuters, we will admit that most of our listeners
are commuters stuck in their car. And, you know, you're
getting something for and it's good conversation starters at a
cocktail party and, and you could probably develop a lot of
love hate relationships using some of the materials
developed. Yeah, you know, at least you will be entertained.
No, might you you may, you may break up, you may get fired, but
your co workers may shun you forever. No, but it says In all
seriousness, most people that listen to this show are very
appreciative of it because they they actually live in more
harmony. Knowing at least when you know that you're being lied
to and bullshit it at, then at least you can sit there go okay,
I know. At least I'm okay. It's like a shield. You know, it's
like a shield. It's like the Harry Potter.
K bullshit filter. The Harry Potter shield of something.
Yeah. What
does that thing called the cave? The cave
of some hay?
How can we don't know that? Because we're not watching that
bullshit. That's why we don't know that.
We're spending too much time watching C span. Oh, oh. So we
want to thank people who do donate by the way, we could use
some more subscribers. Send us 50 To $200 You want to just
subscribe $5 a month we get $30 A month subscriptions the lucky
$30 A month subscription also 3333 and $42 a month there's
these options. And you can do that. And that helps it brings
the bottom line up a little bit. And anyone who gives us less you
know is we appreciate that. I don't appreciate by the way that
people who send in 10 cents. Oh really we get the we get to get
any money out of that PayPal takes the whole time. And the
only reason they're doing it is either to be on the mailing list
or just or is a joke or to complicate our bookkeeping or
whatever that helps. You know find something that says find
somebody else to pester the Cape of
gayness I was looking at the chat room help us no, that's not
what it is. Totally wrong.
That is so wrong and give them a do so
DeVore act.or. org slash na or channel dvorak.com/na So this
was a late breaking story that came in about implants that may
help heroin addiction totally loving this. You know, now that
we've indoctrinated everyone with our, you know, our cheap
heroin coming from Afghanistan, which of course is one of the
true reasons were there is to import that shit. Do you see the
storage? Nope. people addicted to heroin or prescription
opiates might have a hands free device. This is great. This is
from why are these guys right? Well, though, hands free for
getting through the rigours of drug withdrawal. I like the
rigours John Eggers when, when I when I was when I was kicking
off of heroin, it was a real rigorous rigamarole it was just
rigorous. So rigamarole has had rigours of like this, it's okay.
The medication Bupa. I suck at this. Buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine I don't
know just give me the spelling bee u p r
e n o r pH I any bupron u p r e n one and oh RPh I any you
printer Finn. So anyway if you have this stuff implanted under
the skin and released over a 24 week period, it can ease drug
cravings and it actually helps some patients stay clean
according to a report in The Journal of American Medical
Association This is the real deal here. Bureau printf and
John before you look it up is a semi synthetic opioid compound
prescribed for pain relief and for addiction withdrawal is this
this thing that the shot thing that these guys were talking
earlier no idea. It works something like methadone which
of course they still hand it out and get my nation lowlands to
heroin abusers. And so apparently now you can have this
just implanted in your body and and you'll feel good and you
have like a double high when you can't get your fix then you're
on this shit.
How do you make this stuff? That's the quick question Is it
made from the real deal? I mean is it was a byproduct of Oh, BMI
is if you would keep the opium it's in business Yeah, I
think it does. It's semi synthetic so that means part of
it is the real deal right? I don't know. I'm talking it up
here and you should be Googling that stuff man what I'm
doing now but I'm googling something. You can't spell it.
No, I'm looking at something else.
I'm looking at porn. Stop that. Stop googling porn here bupron
Here it is Wikipedia the Ministry of Truth speaks semi
things of synthetic opioid use the treatment says Jesus wired
copy the fucking Wikipedia entry. Oh, here it is. It is a
Bentley derivative opioid John it's the Rolls Royce of drugs.
It's a Bentley derivative. What does that mean? A bit it says a
Bentley derivative opioid of the Nazarene class with extremely
high binding affinity and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever. Well, you know, bracket distributes this. Those
are the guys who do so powder. Who racket. Racket racket. Yeah.
Racket. Yes, Racket. Yeah.
Like racket. Hey, get it a racket. Let's record our
EC k i t t. They do like the dishwashing powder and stuff.
They're huge chemical company. They sell ads on Weibo all the
time.
So I think for our for our book club. And there's a reason what
I was looking at because I for some reason couldn't remember
William Burroughs name. There is a there is a novel by William
burls called junkie. And he talks about getting off of
heroin addiction using something called Apple morphine. Which
again would be what but and apparently what apomorphine
does, you switch over to it and then anytime you're confronted
with heroin, you start puking your guts up to such an extreme
that you that you just can't do you have second thoughts.
Thoughts? Let me see.
And so and he was oh, he was in his novel, he was baffled by the
fact that the powers that be Wouldn't that would not and
wouldn't generally adopt this technology, this technique for
getting people off the heroin, instead making them addicted to
something else da da. I know you've just spoiled he was just
baffled supposedly by this why
do we even have to read the book now? Now that we know that
spoilers spoiler Hey, John, how much of a slave Are you let me
let me let me give you this one I'm sure people emailed this to
you just got following TSA rolls out body scanners at SeaTac.
Airport your favourite? Don't you fly to sea TAC from time to
time? I fly to see tech quite a bit. Yeah. Security screeners
will start asking people flying out of SeaTac Airport to submit
to full body scans in about a week's time. 14 backscatter X
ray machines will be installed the airport planning to have 450
machines operating at 33 airports including sea TAC by
the end of the year, another 500 next year. Yeah, Johnny Boy.
Well, you know what, it's kind of cool. Because we know you're,
you're 12 inches is gonna bleed they're gonna be like to hear
that do to get through man. Thanks, Gary. This guy, you
should
you should just be doing it just to piss him off. So what are you
going to do? Are you going to decline? Are you going to opt
out? Yeah, just let you know groped me opt out, opt out
standby. We have an opt out or by you're opting out by you're
gonna problem with that.
I'm telling you, when you go through, I want to tell everyone
out there to do this. Go through. Why you opting out
saying that because those things have radiation and they cause
cataracts. And when you guys working around and we're going
to be blind in a couple of years. Cataract just say that to
every TSA guy. It's not against the law. No, it's probably true.
Close enough. Tell him Adam and John sencha. Say, Who told you
that John C. Dvorak who comes through here at least once a
month? You know, the guy with a 12 venture?
Oh, that guy? Yeah. That is named.
Oh, we know we know what the C stands for.
And forgot to say a happy white cane Safety Day, John. And while
I'm at it, Happy National character counts week.
character counts. Yes, this is
starting this week. America's strength even in its most
challenging of times is founded in the spirit and character of
our people. During National character counts week, we
reflect upon the values of equality, fairness and
compassion that lie at the heart
of our country. And what if there's a national self esteem
week,
it could probably come up but this is a I went on
whitehouse.gov as I do every single Sunday morning to look at
our president so YouTube address, which is all about
Democrats, good Republicans bad. But then you look at the
proclamations and it is a national character counts week
character counts week and then I like white cane Safety Day. The
white cane in addition to being a practical mobility tool who
writes this shit? The President puts his signature doesn't yet
sit down go, what am I signing man? The white king, in addition
to being a practical mobility tool serves as a symbol of
dignity, freedom, and independence for individuals who
are blind or visually impaired. On white cane Safety Day, our
nation celebrates the unmeasurable contributions the
Americans who use canes have made as valued members. I can't
even say this. So when we can't, here's what's coming. You can't
say blind people, you have to say, Americans who use canes.
A lot of people use canes now their thing is right, they've
emphasised what the real purpose of these kinds of days are with
the white canes if you see somebody with a white cane, hit
the brakes, for God's sakes, you know if they're in the street or
something, or if you see somebody confused at a corner. I
do this all the time. We have because we have a blind you
know, I did that once in New York and I got yelled at. There
was a person. Yes, I was with Chris. Okay, well, listen, I was
with Chris Jacob, and the guys trying to cross the street, but
he trapped him stuff was like trash cans and shit. And the
light post and he's like, trapped. He's like, you know,
like, like one of those robot vacuum cleaners. He's like,
bouncing around like, hey, excuse me, sir. Can I help you
out? He got pissed.
Oh, shit, like he was having a bad day.
I know. But I was like, wow, fog, I'm sorry, you just
did number of people have said Yo, hold on a second, you're
going the wrong way. Or some just suck because you know,
they're in a situation where they're gonna they're hearing
the BP but doesn't tell you whether which way to go. BP, BP
BP and consider these a lot of these lights around here in the
Bay Area are triggered with these little
steps. So if you if anyone is actually serious about helping
Americans with canes, then fix your frickin website and make it
accessible. Alright, that is the number one complaint that
Americans with canes because we can't say blind people anymore.
You can either say you might be able to say visually impaired,
but you have to say I
can't make a website with using AJAX or flash, but it's
visually.
If you really, if you really want to help if you really,
really want to help, then go and fix your website. Now. We're the
biggest offenders of that. I'm sure I'm sure our sites are not
at all. What is it accessible?
No, I think our sites are very accessible. I don't somebody
graphics. I mean,
I don't know when you get tables and stuff like that. It really
messes up your screen readers. Yeah. Well,
that's true, if
your sites are indeed great looking. So but that's true,
though, that that's really true. Anyway, I'm just seeing this
coming. I'm seeing this Americans with canes things like
you can't say blind anymore. Because it's hateful.
Well, we probably have quite a few blind listeners because they
like to listen to podcasts. Yes.
In fact, I know of several. And I'm amazed sometimes I have the
people who are blind who use the big app show.
Which is pretty cool. When they made them they must just like
your voice. Yeah.
Well, they understand what I'm talking about. They I don't know
how they can I don't know if these phones have screen readers
and how they how they get through it. But anyway, if we
can do anything to help Americans with canes, let us
know.
Yeah, we besides the bogus whatever Viet or that well,
whatever. That was
the West Wing Week, which is the reality show The president has
this, it's my God. This guy does nothing. Just listen to it.
Welcome to the West Wing Week,
your guide to everything that's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue. This week, the President focused on infrastructure
education in the economy, including several meetings of
all ages. That's October 8 to the 14th for eyespots. I spy
what is that?
What I spy?
What do you what is this?
This is the reality show
as I go what is a way we wasting the taxpayers money with this
bullcrap.
Every single week, there's a reality show called West Wing
Week with this great voiceover. This guy, they they probably did
auditions for this guy. And he talks about the President's
incredibly busy week and I want you to listen because this is a
great show, John, it's a great show. In fact, Someone's
probably making 50 grand that episode for this piece of crap.
On Monday, October 11, President Obama held a meeting on the
economic impact of infrastructure investment on our
state. to local communities in the State Dining. After the
meeting, the President made a statement in the Rose Garden
where He emphasised
I wish you
could see this video this guy sounds like to Leave It to
Beaver character.
I wish you could see this video and you actually you have to
watch it everyone has to watch this week's West Wing Week
because they have this economic thing in the Rose Garden. And so
there and this is behind the scenes footage so it is kind of
cool to watch. I mean, it's all masked by this horrible
voiceover and the crappy editing and everything. But Obama is so
rude. And so he manhandles everyone he comes up behind
Little Timmy Geithner and he pushes him forward like legit
grabs him by both shoulders from behind like hey, Shawn, come on
little Timmy is a Secretary of Finance over the Treasury
whatever the hell he is. And and and he grabs him like he's like
a little kid. And then in the President says, Whatever you do
don't trip.
Fixing our ageing roads, rails and runways will just make the
area she's grabbing Timmy from behind pushing him create good
middle class job Timmy. Don't fret
Don't trip Timmy. Whatever you do, don't trip to me. By
investing in these projects, we've already created hundreds
of 1000s of jobs, but
blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we probably probably probably hate
John. I think we've probably done that. Wow. Yeah, we, you
know, we just are so stupid. Or stupid. We buy all this crap.
But you really have to see that video. It's it really shows you
what's going on there. This is like one big power trip that's
happening.
Yeah, no, I'm gonna watch it. It's kind of creepy religiously.
So
the acting is not much worse than on CSI or NCIS. Or any of
that stuff, you know?
Couldn't be. So I was watching the C span over the last week. I
didn't get a lot of got two interesting stories out of the
whole thing. Well, excuse
me. When you do something like that. We have to remind people
of something very important. It's one we did. You don't have
to see.
So now I'm convinced that they're grooming, I think just a
backup plan. They're grooming Condi Rice for a presidential
run.
Really? Wow. Wait, this is this is new information.
Yeah, this is uh, this is interesting. To suggest as she's
being groomed. She seaspan Had she gave a talk in front of the
Press Club about her new book, which obviously she's gonna have
this book and that guarantee will be another book within the
next year.
Well, that's what you do yet you write a book and then you become
president.
She has to have at least two books to counter Obama's two
books. Yeah. And then she has to have one book about her father.
And this book is about family, which includes her father, who
was apparently a preacher, Republican preacher, Black
Republican preacher, which had to be hilarious. Who liked who
liked to hang out with guys like Stokely Carmichael and the rest
of them is actually this must be a fascinating story. And you
know she's
read it by the way, I'm what's the name of the book? I'm gonna
get it right now. I'll read this. I read Sarah Palin's book
I'll read Condi Rice his book
will go look it up while I'm talking. Okay. It's, it's it's
not gonna it's not the world's greatest titles, Dreams
From My mother.
Is that what it is? It could be it something like that. That's
what it's about, mostly about her dad. And so they're trying
to change her style. She's actually quite funny. She's very
pleasant. She gave a really good speed then she got serious. And
you know, she's got to throw it I browse. Gap tooth and tooth.
And she she drops a couple of bombs and a couple of words
which and I always say why would you? Why do you would like when
I'm talking to Zach go to some little I'm talking to some local
show. Say, ya know, I'm doing a podcast with my really good
friend and confidant to Adam curry. Instead of I'm doing a
podcast with Adam curry. Why would I say why would I had all
this embellishment, especially if I have a bunch of different
people I'm talking about to one person. I just may
ask you something. Do you when someone says that? Do you never
say with my good friend Adam curry?
Never. Why would I? I'm so sorry. I don't you know, I'm
doing the show with you. I don't have to. I don't what difference
does it make to anybody? Whether we're friends or not? In the
sense of things I mean, in the in the broader sense spectrum.
It doesn't make any sense at all. I
do. Tell me you don't follow it up by saying you know, the guy
who used to be on MTV or something.
Yeah. I think that's rude. Thank
you very much. That's very nice. I also don't say, you know, he's
a lot older than I am. I never say that.
He's an asshole. He's a Deutz. So play a Condi Rice, who gives
her two bits about gays in the military. What this has to do
with her biography? I don't know. In light of the recent
debate in the Senate and court rulings, what are your thoughts
on Don't Ask, Don't
Tell. Do you favour repeal? Oh, well, first of all, I think it
will be repealed. I leave this in the hands of my good friend
Bob Gates and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It's absolutely the
case that military effectiveness and military efficiency has to
be the first concern of the secretary of defence and of the
military leadership. I believe that if given time to work
through this particular issue, they will be able to achieve the
repeal without damage to military effectiveness, military
efficiency. But again, this is something that I have very
strong faith in the people because I know them. Who are I
know the gays charged with trying to get this done? And
let's let's give them the time to get it done.
Wow. He says funny, they got to correct that. That was another
way. You're telling me Robert Gates, you look at Robert Gates,
that guy. You mean Bob
Gates, Bob Gates,
good friend good. My
Bob Gates. It's like when you instead of saying Robert De Niro
the whole world knows him as Robert De Niro. But if you're
George Clooney, you get to say, Bob, Bob or Bobby Bobby? Oh, no,
that's if you're Leonardo DiCaprio. Then you get to say,
Bobby. So Condi Rice him? Yeah, Bob Gates. No one calls the guy
Bob Gates. It's like calling the president Berry. Does she say
that? And my good friend, the president Berry, a berry berry,
too.
She's, she's, you know, she's trying to get it together. So
they asked her point blank about running for office. And she
gives a bogus answer they've all Hillary Clinton, we have this
had the same answer. When she was running for Senator about
she's never going to run for president. And rice goes on
about she doesn't feel like she's ever going to run for
anything. But she's still going to do some work for the country.
Played the rice running for office and you will get it.
You state in your book that you don't have the fire in the belly
to seek elective office? Is there any circumstance under
which that could change?
Not that I can see.
I really, you know, pretty soon if you're asked 1000 times, will
you run for this? Will you read for that? And you keep saying
the time isn't right. Pretty soon you realise maybe the time
just isn't ever going to be right. And so I'll find my ways
to do public service, I think you can tell I'm very committed
to K 12 education reform that, for me is probably our greatest
national security priority right now. Because
Hold on a second. K 12. Education Reform is the biggest
contribution to our national security diet, misunderstand
what she said. That's exactly what she said. So Amy, So Kate,
so
K through 12 education reform is, is the
single most I mean, he's here to get us here again,
already right now. Because if we don't do that, we're not just
gonna back it. Yeah, but back that up. probably our greatest.
Further sorry about that. Here we go. Um, that, for me is
probably our greatest national security priority right now.
Because
let me I gotta pull up eight
through 12, enter education reform is our greatest. Let's
get this quote. Right.
Let's get the already. Let's get this quote. Right. All right.
And so I'll find my ways to do public service, I think you can
tell I'm very committed to K 12. education reform that, for me is
probably our greatest national security priority right now.
Because
oh, wait a second. We just Google that.
We have to re educate the populace education
reform. Do you think it'll actually say this is our
biggest? Mine say that right there on the Ministry of Truth
website?
national security priority? We have to make sure everyone's on
the same page.
This is crazy. Oh, why does she say that?
Because this this is all part of some scheme that we have no idea
what did what the basis is that we don't have any all we're
doing is pulling things out of thin air that don't make sense
or they are being dropped his bombs. By the way in this little
clip, she doesn't say, Ah, no,
because the script reverses the script.
We don't do that. We're not going to be a strong and
confident country and we'll turn in and will protect. So there
lots
of there's the answer. Oh, we should have listened. She gives
us the answer because we're going to turn to a bunch of
wimps.
No, no, we're gonna do no isolationists. So what she Send
kind of a
strong and confident country and will turn in and will protect.
So there are lots of ways to
prepare and protect. Those are the two key words, we're going
to turn. In other words, we're going to become isolationist,
we're not going to be, we're not going to keep moving toward the
Great One World Government. Which brings me to the old John
Bolton clip, which I just coincidentally have on here.
Let's play it as a reminder.
Hermann von Ron poor, the former Prime Minister of Belgium, said
in his inaugural address, which I'm sure you've all read, right,
in his inaugural. In November of last year, he described 2009.
And I'm quoting, as the first year of global governance, with
the establishment of the G 20. In the middle of the financial
crisis, the Climate Conference in Copenhagen is another step
toward the global management of our planet, close quote. So this
is the this is the attitude, the approach of many people who
favour moving toward global governance. And so I think we're
entitled to ask one year into the Obama administration. What
is the President's view of American sovereignty? How does
he view these issues? And I think we we can see already that
the President has President Obama has a very different view
of American sovereignty than the long line president, certainly
since Franklin Roosevelt. In some respects, he harks back to
Woodrow Wilson, in his devotion to multilateralism as a process
and as an outcome. But I think it goes beyond that as well.
President Obama, for example, said in September of last year
to the General Assembly, it is my deeply held belief that in
the year 2009, more than any point in human history, the
interests of nations and peoples are shared in an era where our
destiny is shared power is no longer a zero sum game. Yeah,
you know, we have to one of the things we do on this show, which
is discussed this move toward losing US sovereignty and global
governance, we have to remind the listeners every so often
about this, and this is the kind of thing candy Condi Rice is
obviously, on board with this whole, you know, letting
somebody else tell us what to do. And there's a fractal aspect
to this, which is kind of interesting. And I think it
reflects this 10th amendment concern that a lot of people
have. And you know, by the way, Mandelbrot just die. No, I
was gonna bring that up. And,
you know, I was thinking that's a fractal, that means
everybody's gonna die. But
you needed me to ask the question to set Yeah,
I would have been better, much better. So anyway, so So the so
the idea is that you know, that that government comes from the
top and we don't really run you know, the United States supposed
to be a federal government again, when we talk about the
book nullification and and the thing that's brought this and
brought these clips to mind and what brought brought the whole
topic to mind with me, was this last week, Eric Holder coming
out, and yeah, and
and saying we're gonna come in there and kick California's ass,
saying that if California pan ever we have to 10% of our
listeners are in California, apparently. And I want to tell
everybody, whether you think that proposition 19 should or
should not be voted for you should vote yes on this thing,
just to see what happens because the federal government has told
California point blank that we don't care what you do. We're
gonna do we're going to do we're going to enforce the federal
law, which of course, is essentially unconstitutional.
And this and I just asked a question, because, uh, well, so
what federal law Trumps state law? No, it doesn't. And people
keep it, get keep getting emails with people that are having this
whole thing mistaken. They're buying into this argument that
the New York Times put out there that the federal laws already
there, you can't change it with a state law, which is not true.
And ask yourself the following. Why was the Prohibition Act the
Volstead Act passed? Why was their amendment passed in the
first place? And why are amendments passed at all? When
if it's just a federal law can be written? Just ask yourself if
somebody argues about this. So then why do we have
constitutional amendments? When apparently Janee all federal law
will do the trick? What's the point of a constitutional
amendment just make a federal law and federal law trumps
everything that's bogus? It's that that's the reason you have
to have constitutional amendments. And that's the
reason California can pass this. And they should put people on
the border, keep the Feds out, if they're going to come in and
essentially kidnap, by the way, this is what happened during the
Wisconsin situation back before the Civil War, when they were
they wouldn't let the these southerners come down to steal
blacks from the north that, you know, were supposedly fugitive
slaves because they couldn't prove they were. And so they
said no, this is kidnapping. And the fact of the matter is that
the you know, unlawful detention. Kidnapping is what
the Feds would be doing if they came in and started bust In
people for smoking dope in California, if we pass
Proposition 19, it's going to be a huge issue. It's going to be
worth watching. But it's going to show you exactly where the
federal government comes down and the liars like Obama, who
said they were going to stop cracking down on medical
marijuana places. I mean, he basically just lied about it
because they still do it.
So I I'm starting to, I've always kind of been on the
sideline of this debate. And I've really haven't debated you
on it. I believe it's going to pass and I have a little
different take on it. I've got some some information that
people have been sending me. This whole proposition 19 is
really being propagated by an outfit called the DPA. Are you
familiar with them the DPM? This is the FBI but I'm not the Drug
Policy Alliance. You can find that a drug policy.org And they
were formed in July 2000. When the Linda Smith centre and
activist drug policy think tank established in 1994 merged with
the Drug Policy Foundation, a membership and grant making
organisation established in 87, to create the world's leading
drug policy reform organisation of people who believe the war on
drugs is doing more harm than good. So I started looking into
this organisation which has a very interesting board of
directors. I'd like to mention a few of them to you. How about
Paul Volcker? Paul Volcker, John, how about George Soros?
These people are on the board of the DPA. These are special
executive board members. And I'm thinking there is some specific
mention in proposition 19. About not just marijuana but about
hemp. And hemp, the derivative of the marijuana plant outside
of the the really good stuff
that makes you actually there's lot of hemp plants that have
almost no THC and Correct,
correct, and I believe it's going to pass and there will be
a federal or centralised regulation of hemp, which is
it's an industry that is worth trillions of dollars. Do you
know that hemp burns hotter than coal, you know, you can use that
as fuel. I mean, this is a magical magical thing. And I
think all of this is a red herring, just so that the
government can get control and regulate hemp it's not about the
marijuana part. It's not about the who cares. I don't think
anyone gives a crap about who's smoking it or why although that
is the medicinal properties are I think are very valuable. But
hemp by itself is an incredibly valuable valuable product. It is
a trillion dollar industry. And that I think is what this debate
is actually about is who's going to control the regulation of
hemp not marijuana but of hemp. Well, Monsanto is the answer by
the way, Monsanto is the answer.
And Monsanto probably right but I like the idea. The the
offshoot of this is still going to be a 10th amendment showdown
which is fine with me if they want to go off on this hemp the
hemp has also makes paper by the way paper products
nice paper clothing, all kinds of stuff and who and by the way
who's going to own the patent on the genetically modified hemp
you know
that this is but the thing is you're gonna bring in Soros and
these other guys fine the I mean, just because somebody's
attached your name to something doesn't mean we should say oh
well let's vote no,
no, no, no, I'm not saying that I'm not I'm just saying that I
think we should vote yes obviously. I mean I'm I'm a pot
smoker I was you know, thing that
gets me about what you just brought up and I'm looking at
their website right now is that why aren't they putting some
fucking money into like promoting the yes side of it? I
don't see any ads. I mean, Soros has gotten nothing but dough.
Well, where did they where are they holding back on some
throwing out some maybe wave is gonna be at the last minute,
which probably is the most effective way to advertise but I
haven't seen one pro or con add on Proposition 19 by anybody.
Let me see what's under Events. Let me see if they're doing
anything. College College Prague. No, your your question
is valid. Well, Russell Simeon. Here's
the how to donate now button. And by the way, don't donate to
these guys. Donate to devora.org/podcast Dude,
that got podcast. Cool. Who
listens to any of this stuff? This is very poorly done.
Well, let's have a listen to the pot podcast. Let's see.
Wow. That is a production. Hi, everybody. Welcome to this
broadcast of
the Drug Policy Alliance, the nation's leading organisation
working to end the war on drugs. To join our movement or learn
more about drug policy reform. Please visit our website@www.ge
Ah, these guys are good. Irwin and today is Monday, March
2 2009 2009.
That's
why this is the 2009.
Yeah, that's grandma. There's got to be a newer one than this.
No, I'm looking
at it right here. That's the most recent one audio archive. I
said, man.
Oh, this is blame. These guys aren't very sincere in their
work
will know that. I think they're just in there to help with the
regulation. They don't care. They don't really care. It's not
about pot smokers. It's about the hem.
Yeah, no, I'm getting that but let's go on this. This is not a
minute of this.
Really? Well, here's the
got that dead NPR sound. You know that dead room and we are.
We are a nation of cowards. Oh, I get a 404 error. These guys
suck. I suck. Eyes.
This is the leading this is the leading organisation maybe
they're all stoned.
So Russell Simmons Zaros.
Hey, Soros. Go look at his website and tell me what you're
doing with your money. Really, dude?
Well, if Soros is they have a they raised like Volker
Volker is an old fart. Let's face it. This is a reflection of
that. Yeah.
I'm just saying. I'm just saying that. I think there's something
very big going on here.
It's that poorly. No,
this website is poor.
But I think website the podcast sucks. They're not doing what
are they doing their donations? That's what I'd like to know.
That's
given themselves salaries. I already looked at that they have
a, by the way, their last night form 990 is from 2007 Then we're
gonna have 2008 up, let alone 2009. How does that happen? How
do these people get away with John, we're stupid gouttes we're
stupid. We have to start a 501 C and just any file, any file
anything. It's just to take the money, don't pay taxes, don't
file it and just come up with a stupid website and throw up a
podcast from 2009 and get a bunch of jabroni boots is on the
board. We're dumb. We're really dumb. We're doing the we're
going about this the wrong way. Apparently we're asking people
to help us to help us pay bills. So these guys are
named on the 10th Amendment showdown is going to happen and
this is going to cause you of course California leads the way
with this of all Divi so ironic that all these people, you know
from all over the place are moaning and groaning about the
10th Amendment then a dope. legalised drug thing takes place
and next thing you know, the feds will back off. I think they
will. I don't want a 10th amendment showdown. Nobody does.
Nobody in the federal government wants a 10th amendment showdown.
Yeah, when I said when I brought this up in my conversation with
those who will not go named during my dinner at Bobby's
restaurant,
Molly and I won't do
that. You know, I got the Yeah, but you know, this is the way it
is excessive at the 10th Amendment says the states are
you know, we we have our we make our own shit up. You know, the
federal government can come and tell us what to do. Yeah, but
that's you know, outdated. This is an this outdated? Yeah. This
is this No, that's that's not the it's accepted the way we do
it. Now. It's accepted that we have the we have the leader of
the free world running our ass is accepted. This is how we do
things here is how we do things. And by the way, some of the
people that table we're not Democrats, okay? Not least am
not not not Democrats. This is just misguided. It hurts me
upsets me.
Yeah, since you're right there, you can do direct propaganda.
And you get and you can't get any headway. It's terrible.
That's because this is so entrenched. And it's not just
you know, these, you know, these folks and others. It's just that
yeah, we get we get emails you do. And I do both. We get emails
with somebody who comes up, they see something. And it's so
obviously wrong there and the way they're seeing it, because
you can see that they're still good to get people untwisted
from these, these these models that have been drummed into
them, which really want us to be run by a national government,
for example. And to just ignore the way the Constitution was set
up, or the country was set up, because it's outdated. It's just
so entrenched the schools pounded into you for years and
today, we're talking about decades of education that pound
is nonsense into people and to get to undo all that damage is
almost impossible at most people.
Yeah, okay. When I was reading, nullification, which is great
book by the way, I think it's still at the no agenda book
club, no agenda books.com You know, make sure you get this
book and to have and please, as much as I love you guys, please
don't send me like a million audio book versions. My email
box is getting full. And I have to like, call this thing now.
But do so Any stories when you think you're the 100th person to
send it, don't stop there. But be careful what you attach.
That's kind of a pain. So I'm reading something and can't we
start our own state? I mean, what's the rule on that? How
does that work? Can we start our own state? Yeah. How do you
become a state?
Well, there actually there is a way to become a state. I mean, I
know California could be split into three if it wanted to,
which I
mean, you have to own the land actually, to become a state of
100. People. Everyone
has to agree. I think there has to be some sort of I don't know.
I don't know you can become for one thing. The Federal the
federal system requires that everybody agree that okay, well,
you know, I think all the other states would have to agree that
you could be a state. I don't know. Look into how Hawaii
became a state we'll figure it out.
Yeah, I mean, we should find someplace we can just become a
state and go I mean,
Alaska was was was was a state under parently. kind of sketchy
circumstances. Alaska may not actually really may not qualify
may not even be a state actually, we don't really know.
The last the Alaskan separatists which are exist, I'm Sarah Palin
is actually one of them. And her husband for sure. They have this
argument that the whole thing was a scam. And Alaska didn't
really vote it for statehood. They were scammed into it. They
didn't count.
Yeah, that too. Yeah. I've heard that too. That could be. That
makes sense. Absolutely. So I wanted to bring up and have a
specific reason for doing so a great article in The Telegraph
in the ghetto nation east. Actually, it's from their blogs.
So it's not read I'd probably never got printed in the
newspaper. But it says global warming fraud colon, the tide
begins to turn. And this is This comes on the heels of the Royal
Society being called out for making basic math errors
on their global math errors or comes not
opinion. That's science. And science is one cold hearted
bitch with a 14 inch strap on
waiting to play that was design a blog. I know this is one of
our producers sent that to me, I think because we know of course
we have the
sciences. Not opinion. That's science. And science is one cold
hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.
So don't be a denier. Because she's got a 14 inch. Yeah. But
it's but it's a great a great it out. But what do we want edit
anything. But there's a huge amount of great quotes from
scientists who all just say us physics. So this is the global
warming. This is the one we did down Thursday. Global warming is
the greatest and most successfully pseudo scientific
fraud I've seen in my long life. And we have another professor
the money flood has become the redzone data. That means the
reason Let me present some figures below to see why flood
was not an exaggeration. The money connection, the amount of
money spent on anti ag w that is huge. manmade global warming
activity by organisations is a whopping $2 million a year. Go
away Don't squander million. That's not right. anti anti anti
the amount of money spent by pro a GW organisations on research
is $3 billion.
That's kind of an interesting yeah, what side are you on?
Don't be a denier. Because science is a cold hearted bitch.
Well see if I was a scientist in that field of study. And there
was 3 billion going in direction a and 2 million going in
direction b i probably sign on to direction a May for the short
term and then I can always kick after debt collecting all the
money I could do with this other guy do is say okay, now the
gravy train is over. This is bullshit. Yep.
That's a lot is a lot of great quotes. I encourage you to read
that you can find it in the show notes at no agenda. show.com
I've not heard any feedback necessarily from people about
the new layout of the show notes. I presume it's okay. And
people are alright with it that it's easier to use. I don't know
if people still look at the show notes. I mean, are these still a
good resource to publish? John? Do people
care for people? No. Why don't we have our survey guys we got
different ones. Survey the listeners as to whether or not
they are using the show notes or whether they care or whether
they look for one I had trouble finding something the other day
because the you categorise the shownotes you have a you using a
JavaScript of some sort. And you have the notes under a category
then you click on the little thing and down it goes you see
all the different links and And it's so if I wanted to just find
something I knew what to look for, I'd have to click on all of
them. So it's kind of inconvenient. I think the new,
but it's but yeah, but at the same time, the old method which
had a show notes that like scroll down to China. Yeah was
ridiculous. So you don't have you Yeah, you really didn't have
much of a choice. But it's still hard to find.
Well, here's what needs to be done. Here's what needs to be
done. Because what I do every single week is I publish these
in structured data format in OPML. And I know that the pocket
no agenda app uses this, because the reason I do that is so can
be indexed. And someone needs to there isn't. Isn't there no
agenda shownotes site homey say? No agenda? Show? notes.com.
Let's see if they're up to speed. Because you should be
able to search this stuff here. Search show notes. Okay. Give me
a topic. John. What were you looking for?
Oh, I wish I could remember. I'd have to think about it. Come on.
Let me off guard. I'd
not just give me one just give me anything.
Okay. How about how about? Well, that's that's
a 10th. Amendment. 10th 10th. Okay. 10th amendment. Amendment.
Let's see what it comes up with. We're searching we're searching.
We're so Derrick goes? The great Daylight Savings Time conspiracy
on episode 78. Yes, great. There's no agenda shownotes.com
is perfect. It doesn't
that's not the right answer. Of course, it's
not the right answer. Okay, we need a better indexing machine
is not good. But then I publish them every single week and the
links that rock, it's the show notes and OPML format. Let's do
something with that. Otherwise, why bother? People don't care.
Yeah, we had to make sure people cared. They had to go look at
the show notes. And by the way, just even if it's just one like
a good case, there's some gems in there.
And if you don't like it, then fix it make something better.
We'll public will publicise it, we're really good at that.
Please help us here. We need some help. Cheese.
And getting you want, you can just go to no agenda show.com
and click on the page. That'll help. So there's one thing I
wanted to get into before we finish this show. Which was I
ran again on CNET RCC span. I'm sorry, CNET there. C span. There
was a four and a half hour panel. Wow, you watched it?
Yeah, of course you did on counterfeit drugs. And it was
like a counterfeit drug was counterfeit drugs. I was
thinking what do you know counterfeit? Apparently, the
counterfeit drugs situation is so out of control. That you
don't have any idea how much counterfeit I mean, it's like
almost half the it seems as though half to drink this guy,
one guy came out and give a story about play this this is
this guy who got counterfeit drugs. He's an AIDS patient and
a pharmacist. And he you know, goes getting bombed drugs from
the Trump CVS, I might add and play this. This is this is his
sad story. And it's a little lengthy long, but it's worth
listening to for the punch line counterfeit drugs story about
reckless which one of the companies that you
know Who Who are these people if that's the problem, and I met
some of them in a trial in Las Vegas, that I testified and I
saw them face to face. And this was a year after and all those
feelings just came back. I mean, here these two guys walk in. And
I thought it was past it and all these feelings came back and all
that anger and disbelief that there are people out there who
could put medicine out there for people to take that wasn't real
one, not the medicine that I needed. And to something
potentially dangerous. And they didn't care. They just didn't
care. And they really were at the end. Their company was
penalised. And they weren't going to be allowed to get a
licence to open up a company again, in the state of Nevada,
but they still walked out and gotten their cars and went home.
And was very, very upsetting. Their primary distributor was a
group in Florida called the walkers. This couple well his
name may have not been Walker, but they were this couple and
Gary, who's over there who's a character in the book, dangerous
doses as well.
A guy selling a book. Is that what this is about?
No, no. So one of the people on the panel was wrote a book
called Dangerous doses. And he was just referring to that book
knows the story intimately. But the walkers these are bold, bold
people they had a company called ruckus that was their licence
company named distributorship wreck is our E C K. us that was
their company name. They handle the drugs that I injected rachis
by the way, a sucker spelled backwards. That was the name of
their company. These people are really bad, bad. People. Why did
they do it? You're gonna hear me.
So I love that.
So hold on a second, what exactly are counterfeit drugs?
These are drugs that are made in China mostly, as a package just
like the regular things you were talking about those $10 tablets
have this that and the other thing Lipitor was was
was, you mean the stuff you buy on the internet? You mean that
stuff? Well, it
turns out that people who go to Mexico to buy the drugs are
probably getting counterfeits. People who go to Canada or buy
stuff over the counter over the internet are probably getting
counterfeit. They're all over the place.
But this count, but I just want to understand counterfeit can
mean a number of things.
It means it's a fake pill.
It's just sugar, something melts just
whatever they get together. They whatever they got in the bin.
Yeah, doesn't make any good.
I got some stuff in the bin here. Yeah. All right. So
so I was thinking, Well, how much of this was going on this
one guy moaned about his dark doctor son doesn't even know
that they're counterfeit drugs out there. The public doesn't
know. Nobody's being told nobody gives a crap about the whole
thing. And you have to wonder how many pills and you're what
is a pill away? I don't know, a couple of grammes. I mean, how
much counterfeit drugs can there possibly be floating around?
Well, in this when there's one clip, there's one piece of
information that would read start to play counter fit drug
kickoff. And there's one interesting piece of information
about counterfeit drugs that are that are coming from China going
to Paraguay and then going into Brazil. How many counterfeit
drugs you think are coming in
counterfeit drugs since 1992 93. And watching them come across
the border from Mexico. This last year, Pastor we have seen
many instances in a showcase the problems with counterfeit drugs
and how widespread it was. Two weeks ago, I was in Brazil, and
I was just shocked working with the US Embassy consulate people
when they told me that they have seized 400 tonnes 400 tonnes of
counterfeit drugs in the last two years come across the border
from Paraguay and Bolivia. And I wonder
how many people actually are cured by this stuff?
Well, you know, remember that placebo
25% are cured even though they get the placebo? Yeah, and
I think that's where you're getting as an amounting to
placebos, except for the fact that the Chinese are such a
don't give a shit that they a lot of these pills are like for
all you know, our arsenic. I mean, there's, they just mix and
a lot of, you know, of weird shit is put into these things.
But how does it get into? How does it get into CVS, which is a
big drugstore chain in America? Well, like the
guy said, it was these distributors like wreck us who
somehow would get an account with CVS looking like a
legitimate operation, and then they maybe bring in some
legitimate pills from Eli Lilly. And the next thing, you know,
this stuff's coming in from China. And then they're just
dumping this stuff at pure profit, instead of having to pay
you know what they have to pay. And it's just a money making
scheme and then they get busted. So what So somebody didn't get
their pills. Big deal. Interesting. Now, the thing
that's there is one last funny little short clip, which is the
apparently the head of the China FDA was executed. executed this
way, you should do this here, by the
way. Yeah, we should do more of that, like Off with their heads.
But but it's kind of funny, because this journalist from the
New York Times has been covering this and he ditches and moans
and nobody gives a crap. Yeah, play the counterfeit drug China
execution clip, because there's a funny moment in here,
first to publicise this, and not scare the dickens out of people,
but to do the kind of work that will lead to, you know, the kind
of reform that will make our drug supply chain safer. The
United States is paying much more attention to this. I could
say that China's paying more attention to and I do believe
they are and I mean, they did execute the head of the Chinese
FDA. That wasn't my intent when I got into this story. But it is
now the standard for investigative reporters
everywhere if there ain't an execution don't apply for a
Pulitzer Prize.
I thought it was funny. That's great. You write a story that
guy gets executed. Or the press awesome. Yeah. Oh, oh. Would you
do that? Just chop their heads off. Oh, I get it. Anyway, so
this counterfeit drug thing, which I'm not going to cover
anymore, is apparently a plague worldwide and if there's 400
time on pills Wow. Going into Brazil. I'm assuming that a lot
of the the lot of the things a lot of the drugs you get in
Brazil are probably not up to up to par.
No, you may want to avoid those. Wow. Wow, stellar. Well, gee,
John, usually you end on a high note.
Sorry, you've been able to vote me out, man. That's awesome.
Well, you got nothing left to do.
I got one thing. We're doing one last thing, and then we're done.
Okay. All right. So we did the we did the part where the guy
from PBS actually double questioned. What's his name?
Harry Reid said, Hey, you didn't ask advice. Question. Yeah. So
I've so I'm starting to see a little loosening up on the news
media, you know, instead of just reading stuff, actually saying
this is a bogus story. This actually happened, although it's
not an important story. But there was one of the stories on
KPI X in the local area here. That, that that some couple of
guys who obviously never played baseball in their life. And this
is, by the way, been disproven a million times. They like to say
that this is an old theory that there's no such thing as a
curveball. And baseball is just an optical illusion. And so
these guys came up with another optical illusion that shows that
the curveball does incur when in fact it's been studied to death
with high speed cameras and everything that ball will curve,
you know, hook a little bit like an inch or two, if it's drawn by
a guy knows what he's doing. But meanwhile, they run this story
about these AIG heads or the or these the scientist is we were
called eight heads later. And is Esther running the story.
Somebody on the crew says yell something during the story, and
then the anchor goes after the story as bogus. Okay, goes left.
See? No. Okay, so the next time you see a curveball, you'll know
it's all in your head, or mine or something. Yours has ever
actually
play baseball because they break Yeah, I don't care what that
graphic shows you. It's moving 90 miles an hour. It's breaking.
It's breaking. Not an optical illusion. The mystery building
next to the Golden Gate Bridge. That's next time good question.
I don't understand that. Where did where did it go wrong? Well,
they
had a story that was a straight up science story about how a
curveball doesn't break and then this guy comes out at the end
that anchor says this story is bogus. Of course the question is
why did they run the story in the first place?
They needed they needed 30 seconds before the spoke up
he spoke up I just saying he spoke up I like to see guys
speaking up once in a while.
Here's what here's what he should have said. That's not
opinion. That's science. And science is one cold hearted
bitch with a 14 inch strap on.
There it goes our donations for this week. I don't think George
Clooney now it's sexual innuendo with a yeah, this
is going to be this is going to be your theory and be like, Hey,
I can't pay bills because you had to play the strap on clip.
Thanks five
times.
So it's funny.
Dexter by the way, it's it was on television.
That was on Dexter?
I think so. Yeah.
Just one of our listeners.
I'm pretty sure it was like, on TV. You should watch it
sometimes. John. It's really entertaining. I try
not to watch anything but C span and when I watched it Law and
Order shows everybody gets mad at me.
Well, you know what, you should try it next week because
donations are up when
you watch that shit. So yeah, that's a good point.
Coming to you from Gitmo nation West, the hilltop Watchtower
crackpot command centre where it is still raining cats and dogs
in the morning. I'm out of curry.
And I find it hard to believe it's raining down there in sunny
Southern California at all that I'll take your word for it. I'm
John C. Dvorak. We'll
talk again on Thursday for early morning service right here on no
agenda.
