Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, July 21 2000. Live and time for your gizmo
nation media assassination episode 323. This is no agenda.
Reporting from the frontlines of Gitmo nation from the four
winds. 5000 crackpot command center, get one nation smiling
faces beautiful places. It's the great state of South Carolina.
In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I have none of those
things to say. I'm John C. Dvorak, Raglan Buzzkill.
In the morning to you, John.
In the morning to you, Mr. Curry and all in the morning all ships
at sea feet on the ground boots in the air and, and I don't know
what else. There's got to be another lie. Yeah,
ankles in the stirrups and of course in the morning to all the
human resources in the chat room now. No agenda stream.com no
agenda chat.net Obviously charged up ready to go exactly
the way your government loves him. And living the American
dream of just getting by everybody. So, John, we are in
South Carolina. We are at the Cato a campground of Mount
Pleasant. Right near Charleston. Whoo. Yeah. Which and did you
know about your banda? Charles
did you go to Charleston? No. We're
gonna go to Charleston after the show. After we upload
everything. We're actually going to strike camp.
And we're going to go you're gonna die when you go to
Charleston?
Well, we're for all intents and purposes, we're in Charleston.
But do you mean from heat?
No, I mean, well, there's that. No, it's it's just one of the
prettiest towns in the world. Oh, yeah.
Well, it's 116 degrees today. And so everything I always said
about global warming, I take it back. It's here. It's in the
south is unbelievable. So let me give you a little update on the
Hot Pocket 2008 tour.
By the way, can I say something first? It's always hot in the
South. I don't think this is anything new.
Yeah, well, the and it's kind of like a heatwave, the guy going
on, and people are all complaining about it and talking
about
it. And they're always complaining down there.
So first of all, we are on a 3g connection. You know, I have
three networks that are brought with me AT and T Verizon and T
Mobile. Even though the campground does have Wi Fi I
tested all last night. I tested it this morning, and I can
literally see Icom so packets are being dropped. I think one
of the RV years is a bit torrenting wife swapping porn or
something. And it's literally breaking the connection, which I
don't understand how that works. I mean, why would it just break
just drop out.
I just saved space really sucks the bits right out of the air.
Creating a back I wonder if it's like a clash of Wi Fi or
something. But anyway, so knock on wood. The best network here
is AT and T I've got four bars, and I did some testing to San
Francisco. I get about a megabit and a half download and about
700 kilobit upload. So that seems sufficient. I had two bars
on the Verizon three G and about one bar on T Mobile. So
this accounts for the fact that a lot of people can't understand
why everyone in the San Francisco Bay area which is
notorious for Apple users. It come constantly complaining
about AT and T and everyone's saying what I don't know I have
a problem.
Yeah, it's just the Bay Area. Or maybe the use of their mobile
network. I don't know but T Mobile actually does quite well
in the south. But there are some spots where you just get
absolutely nothing but anyway so we are in the Why
do you got to switch between networks? What's the deal? Oh,
so when I have wireless tethering on all of them, so if
something should happen then I just have to switch networks. So
I can just switch to the I have three phones so I've the 18 T
iPhone jailbroken which is tethering I've got the T Mobile
let you do tethering without anything and Verizon by the way,
when you tether that now man, you got to go through all these
loops because of course they just started their you know,
their non unlimited bandwidth thing you got to call them up
and then and then all of a sudden all these sites are not
working because oh, it could it could have could have porn. You
gotta you gotta call them up again and have that removed. Now
for your protection.
Well, for your it's all for your
security world. Verizon may actually be worse than at&t.
I think so. I think so. Anyway, let me give you a little update.
John, as to what's happened last we spoke we were in Virginia. We
were still in the bareness Maggie Vinson of Virginia's
driveway, who of course, has graciously offered us her RV,
which is holding together quite nicely. We're very, very happy
and everything's working beautifully. Was it on Monday,
we started driving south. We wanted to get to North Carolina.
And we actually stopped off in Salem, Virginia, and had lunch
with Jimmy from free Harlow. books.com. Oh, which was great.
Did
you get another book? Yeah, we
did. We got kid kid stays in the picture. Go on. Yeah. And he's
and I signed about 20 of his books. So that you know, to
raise the price. He's like, this works really well. You sign them
I'll sell them for more money and then we'll get them give
more to the show like all right. So free Harlow books.com. was
great to meet him. He looks nothing like I imagined he
looked like I imagined like kind of like a hippie kind of guy.
Remember, he sent me tobacco and all this great stuff. And he's
growing himself. And what did he give us? Now when Mickey he gave
us a chili peppers? Chili peppers, tomatoes from his own
garden? The guy leaves looks like he's so collegiate. You
know, it's all buff and palmed. He's got a you know, like, kind
of like, almost like a military haircut. Wait a minute. Yeah,
he's in Virginia. He's obviously in the agency.
Wow, he's not he's not I know what he does. But I'm not
allowed to say. And it's just I said, it's not a it's actually
worse than that, but I'm not allowed to say and what I've
discovered is that here's here's what a large portion of our
audience is. They actually work in all these evil organizations
that we harp on every single show, and it's like a release
for them like Oh, finally someone you know that I can
share my feelings. So one notice is that we're actually horrible
evil, evil doers and he works for a really evil company. But
it's that's really what it is and all those cats up in
Virginia who all work you know, have security clearances and
stuff and work on all kinds of crazy programs that I apps I
cannot talk about it on the show because you know it would put
them in danger at least of losing their job and who knows
what else so it also gives me great hope because you're off
yeah. Yeah like Hank Paulson somebody it gives me great hope
because if we ever need to really well that sound the alarm
you know, have the have the bad signal go. These guys could all
mess up a lot of stuff. Get us out of jail. Yeah. So let me
see. So that so we had lunch at a great place called the Blue
Apron. In Salem Witch. It's a beautiful, beautiful restaurant.
I had a skirt steak that would not stop. It was so good to cook
in here is great. Then we continued down South to North
Carolina, and we pulled up to Stuart Green's house. Now Stuart
runs a trailer park. A really nice trailer park, I have to say
we got I don't know hundreds of units and it's all beautiful and
manicured lawns. We can always revert to living there. Totally
rent is 250 bucks a month. It's perfect. Great drive really
nice. And he's a beautiful, beautiful guy. beautiful wife,
lovely child. And he had organized the North Carolina
Asheville meetup. And and that was cool. It was kind of last
minute. So I think we had 10 bill. Actually, Lauren claw
hammer. You can see your pictures on the on Mickey's off
your Facebook site. She came in she's a producer. And she walked
right in. She says, Hey, is this where the lesbian Meetup is
taking place? Yeah, come on in baby. So we had let me see. Or I
have to thank a couple people, some hot pockets producers.
cero. Cheerio, I think is how I pronounce it. He gave us $100
gas money that's highly appreciated. Glenn Woodfin gave
us four silver dollars, which you know, will be very valuable
soon. Seems like gold and silver is doing quite well. Thank you
very much. It was it was cool. I mean, again, some people came in
from the mountains. As there's one guy Jerry, who was I think
he's actually he beats you the I think he's almost 70. And he
came, he came down from the mountains and had a hotel with
his wife. And was you know, he's like, you know, I only got
satellite internet up there. And they limit him to 400 megabytes
a day. So he has to choose what shows he downloads, which is for
satellite. Yeah, yeah, they limit him. 400 Meg's we believe
that? Yeah,
like unlimited bandwidth off a satellite.
Yeah, you should but it's not what he gets. Then. So we were
pretty tired after that. And we had there was what was the name
of that place? The Yacht Club right? Some crazy ass metal
biker guy. Bass Player owns it. And he really took good care of
us. And we missed you, John, every I'll tell you at that
table there 95% of all producers got turned on to the show
because of your appearances on twit.
Well, I'm glad that twit came in handy.
Yeah, I'm just saying and then people like, Hey, is really
good. And we should hear John on twit more I'm just saying. I
went back to bed. Now, we've learned a couple of important
things. We need a minimum of 20 amps in order to run the air
conditioner in the RV. And Stuart only had us hooked up to
a 15 amp circuit so we we got through the night with fans only
but that was actually okay. Didn't it was no problem. And
then before leaving Asheville, of course, when you're in
Asheville, what do you have to see what is the number one
attraction
I guess that's you give up for that. I just don't
know. I'm just commenting that your connection is breaking up
horribly. Yeah. I'm sorry.
So what is the
what's the number one attraction? Biltmore home? Oh,
yeah, no, I've been there.
Yeah, it's it's the largest privately owned house in America
owned by it wasn't I was George Vanderbilt. Was he one of the
robber barons? Is that what he was?
Was a George that own that?
Yeah. Cornelius? No, no, George built it. Yeah. But wasn't
here. Their family was a huge shipping operation. They David
is a winery attached to them. Yeah.
Gardens winery. I mean, you can you can get married there. They
have an in they like it's incredible. It's a huge
operation. By the way. 40 bucks a person to get in. Hello. These
evil elites just keep screwing us even when they're dead.
That shouldn't be that high. I don't remember paying that much.
Oh, I think I Oh, yeah, I think I went to the I think he'd go to
the gift shop and send sneak in the back way for free. Sounds
like something you do. There's some the side and I obviously
didn't spend 40 bucks. I wasn't about to spend 40 bucks and look
at somebody's house.
Yeah, yeah. But I felt that it was kind of obligatory and you
know, when will we ever be back in Nashville? So we went and
here's some irony for you. So of course, this is the family home
of Anderson Vanderbilt pooper. And I asked by the way, he never
comes by. And there's 43 bathrooms in this place, but you
can't use any of them. How ironic is it? I can't poop and
Anderson Cooper's house.
How's that ironic in any way. Interesting, but ironic. I'm
just
talking crap. Anyway, then we left a hold it down. We wanted
to make it in time for our reservation here in South
Carolina in Charleston. Unfortunately, we couldn't pass
by Marvin and Joshua was Exxon station. There at exit 135 On
route I 95. And it would have taken us like an hour and a half
out of our way. And it was a real bummer. So we call them and
we had a nice chat. And they were really disappointed. I felt
really bad. But it's like we just had to haul ass and Mickey
Mickey has actually she thinks the the interstate route numbers
is the speed limit is unbelievable. This woman had she
she drives like she cooks. It's either fire off or fire on. So
we did make an entire they'll
put her on to 101.
But unfortunately, we couldn't see Marvin and his son Joshua
and they got all kinds of commitments. So they couldn't
come down for the show today either. But I promised them some
karma. So let me hand that out. Right now. You've got karma
especially because they were going to give us a free tank of
gas and we couldn't use it. So I'm real sorry. We missed them.
Oh, and John, something you would have appreciated. Halfway
down Mickey has some kind of crazy app where you can find all
these farms and stuff in the US. We went to live oak farms, which
is probably about two hours north of of Charleston, where
they have raw milk eggs everything fresh homemade jam,
just beautiful farm and we picked up a whole bunch of stuff
we had some cottage cheese made fresh and the whole thing runs
on solar panels. Like I like 50 huge solar panels right there
sitting in the in the farmland and it powers everything all the
refrigerators the whole deal those beautiful just fantastic
having a great time so far yeah, and unfortunately, you you get
your your hookup you get back here to kind of civilization
then you start reading the news you like it ain't all that good.
It's nice when you can't watch anything and then you because I
spent a marathon yesterday watching C span clips and stuff
people have sent me and checking out the noise And the news
networks like Oh, really? Unbelievable Well,
we do have some stuff to talk about let me guess You got to
trouble is C span get screwed over Big
Sky yeah go ahead.
This screwed us over by having all these British hearings which
were there they're boring these these British hearings I did get
some choice gems but I get but mostly from the parliaments guy
is screaming at each other
you know I want you to play a couple clips that I have my take
on it and I actually have something myself that I found
but of course this is the distraction of the week and it's
and so C span actually has just decided to negate their actual
job of bringing us our own governments evilness and now
they're showing UK
study said you got you
know what I said was C span has actually negated their job of of
bringing us our own governments evilness and now they've decided
that it's important for them to
to do British stuff well our own government is just talking about
the budget anyway so it's getting kind of old I have a
couple of well first of all, let's start with something
completely different which is that we've discussed in the past
on this show the fact that we believe most professional sports
are rigged
Oh yes. What do you mean we believe along the line we've
we've we've predicted it accurately every single time in
the world God we
believe but we believe that our all sports are right that's why
we can predict them right but we forgot we didn't even pay any
attention to the women's soccer Yeah Where are the so called you
know where the powerhouse of female soccer which is the
United States by the way, but for some unknown reason the
Japanese won their the World Cup the
the reason is called Fukushima, what do you mean they needed a
boost that economic boost?
So I play the clip one to finish in another rigged game. Okay,
hold
on a second. I just gotta get everything all set up here.
Ready? Let's hit it.
Off the turn for checkered flag goes in the air. 50th career
went for Ryan Miller and right behind him, his teammate.
What does that Tour de France
that was NASCAR's army car winning. How do we how do you
say it one all year? Yeah, ha. It hasn't won all year. And now
all of a sudden this is interesting because it not only
the army car, the army NASCAR the sponsored car after we
played that clip of that woman in Congress complaining about
the government financing these cars for promotion. The Army
Corps for the first time this season wins. And coincidentally
the guy who's a teammate, which is Tony Stewart comes in second,
which is rare that this two guys in the same team come in one
two, and Tony Stewart, I believe was assuaged. Because Stewart's
the one about three or four years ago as a famous racer, who
claimed that NASCAR was totally rigged. Yeah.
So okay, here
Tony, you you get second will your here's your pot full of
money just shut up. Shut
up. And what should we play the clip from that douchebag woman
again about the motor that what did she call motor motor ship,
motor ship, motor short. Play it know that
we're at war, and Iraq and Afghanistan. They don't need a
racing car to tell them that we have a volunteer military and
our country's at war. Already this year, the Republican
Congress has voted to cut nutrition programs for the poor,
hungry and for infants. And this, this majority is cutting
investments on Korean energy efficiency and high gas prices.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment to limit the
motor ship sponsor racing to $20 million motor ship motor ship.
Hungry and for infants.
You know, someone sent me a note and said you guys totally missed
it. This woman is MK Ultra, she's getting the same brainwave
reversal radiation that those newscasters get. That's what
happened. This is this isn't this is purely she's programmed
to talk. It's all a part of the NASCAR system. And that she got
confused.
She is terrible. Anyway, so I just was just cracking up in the
army Karwan makes
so much sense it really does. Like we've got to go troops go
war. Yay. That of course NASCAR started in Asheville, you know
that right?
No, I think I did know that but I doesn't come to mind. Yeah.
Got a big lecture on that from from Stuart. He says, you know,
everyone talks about, you know, NASCAR, but it really see a
Jimmie Johnson was running a moonshine. That's how it all
started running moonshine from Nashville. And apparently,
Jimmie Johnson is still running moonshine. And you know, he's
got a new label and everything. He's just still making it. You
gotta love the South. It's beautiful.
Yeah, well, it's definitely entertaining.
So anyway, so the I thought that was kind of funny. A little bit
off topic. But But somatic and then the Japanese thing. I'm
just annoyed that we didn't not only pick up on it earlier, but
we didn't bet on it. Because we get it's a sure thing.
Yeah, we could have made some money. We could have made some
money. Actually, I was watching the Dutch team. I was following
the American team for a while. And and then the Japanese just
came out of nowhere. It's like, Yeah, we could have absolutely
predicted we could have predicted the NASCAR to it's all
rigged. Yeah. It's all bred in games for the slaves.
Yeah, I think we're just slow on the draw. You want to
anyway, go on with you. Do you take something because I got a
bunch of camera and clip said in Parliament and there's 12345 of
these clips. And they're all different enough and funny
enough to move a couple of them are just hilarious if I told you
this play one of the ones that I think is amusing. You know how
Monty Python used to always mock you know, females because we
were no JC are watching the parliament. And we've noticed
that the women in parliament with the exception of a couple
of blondes are all they all look like Monty Python characters,
the guys in drag. Yeah, and they all talk like this. Yes, well,
here's the one who not only talks like that the most but but
apparently when they call on her everybody, hoots and hollers and
the speaker of that Parliament has to stop them and scold them
for letting not letting her talk,
fear or favor. They should go where the evidence leads, they
should arrest whoever they choose. They couldn't have a
clearer message or more support from the government where Perry
today is the honourable lady Miss EU when I call the
Honourable lady for devising the extraordinary choice of
response. I want to hear the honourable lady.
I agree, Mr. Speaker.
They're all they're all they know what they're all like as
Monty Python.
Today, people will know is the anniversary of the moon landing
around which conspiracy theorists like urged the Prime
Minister rather than listening to the back of conspiracy
theorists he focused on the facts. Can you tell us what he's
doing to toughen up the rules around the use of checkers to
make sure it is never used for slumber parties for media
tycoons?
To say checkers, yeah, checkers, I
guess is like, what am I missing?
I was gonna look it up. Somebody in the chat room might know but
the checkers is it would like some facility owned by the
government which has either a house or home or something.
Chahal, and I guess they it's like elite it's like the Lincoln
Bedroom where I guess they were renting it out to anybody that a
lot of money.
I gotta tell you though, of course the Goodman nation East
parliament is much more evolved you know, it's a much older
country than the United States. So they've got their their show
is down. You know, they they all know their parts and a way to
hoot and holler.
Here, somebody says liar. Oh, and a speech and yeah, everyone
freaks out. Oh, yeah, yeah, we're, this is much more
entertaining.
I was listening along to our national treasure, which by the
way, the strongest FM signal you can get anywhere in the south is
always NPR and we're trying to groove to some country music
that keeps fading in and out. And there's more. And I want you
to play a couple more because I do have a I have some thoughts
about this. This phone hacking scandal. And of course, your
assertion and I might actually have some stuff to back it up is
that this is basically the either CIA slash FBI at war with
MI six. And of course, everyone who listens to this show knows
that all these organizations these covert secret spying
agencies are deeply embedded with with with the media. The as
are the police, as are the politicians like duh, But ma'am,
the guys on NPR, they're like orgasming over this the guys of
New York Times orgasming like, ah, oh, this is so awesome. You
know, they are just, they're so happy. It's just it's disgust
Osteen
he I know it's it is disgusting and they are so happy because
it's like one of the one of the sides I guess. Well, I have a
couple that that just another one that just kind of off topic.
I have Cameron use. The neuron reason I made this clip is
because there was an article in the BBC like two days ago that
was that I blogged that disgust the fact that the British hate
Americanisms. But meanwhile, Cameron throws one out that
makes zero sense in England, as far as I'm concerned at play The
buck stops here. Okay, hello,
seconds. This little slow with the fingers today, sir.
Everything's getting sweaty again. I can't move stuff. Okay,
here we go. What she writes,
oh, should merely trying to protect her friend, the prime
minister.
The decision was mine in politics. In the end, the buck
stops here with the Prime Minister. I made the decisions.
I defend the decision and I give it a very
What does that even mean in England? They don't call
anything a buck
or they use Box. Actually didn't hear anyone protest too much.
Yeah, this is a word book block book. Let me here. Let me just
roll that back one second
a decision. I defend the decision and I give it a very
full explanation about it today.
Sorry, I didn't quite go back far enough. I mean, listen,
again,
merely trying to protect her friend, the prime minister.
The decision was mine in politics. In the end, the buck
stops here with the Prime Minister. I made the decision. I
defend the decision and I give it a very full explanation about
it today.
Interesting, well, Obama says it too. And of course that
originated with the FDR was it not?
Harry Truman. Oh, Truman, right.
But when he says the what, what is the actual etymology of the
boxtops? Here what is inferred with buck? It means
no, it doesn't have nothing to do with the buck itself ahead do
with the dollar bill. And it would stop at In other words,
the final decision had to be made at one point that would be
here's where it stands are all the bolts
I know I know what it means but I'm just trying to understand
the actual use of the word.
You're gonna have to go back to 1946 or whenever traveling, full
body seven Hold
on, let's get into our time machine and let's go back to
1946.
Okay, so anyway, so I have two clips I want to get to let's
give it to me versus forgetting before you get to your theory. I
didn't realize until I would listen to these things for hours
on end what a douchebag Cameron is da now I have two instances
where he does the absolute most astonishing version of not
answering a question that is extremely direct. And and there
are two clips douche bag one a douche bag two these are
different times during the hearings. One was came out maybe
an hour later so but it's an two different questions or two by
two different things he refuses to answer and then look at the
way he handles it. So Mr. Jon Cryer. Thank you Mr. Speaker.
Order
order.
Order I'll have two hamburgers house
will listen to Mr. Jon Cryer. Thank you Mr. Speaker. On July
the eighth the prime minister said that he commissioned a
company to do a basic background check on Coulson. Now for the
fourth time I'm asking for the name of the company. It's a
pretty simple question. Just come to this Birchbox and name
the company. Yeah, we did have a company do a basic background
check. And that is an entirely appropriate thing to do. And
it's entirely appropriate report but I have to say the reason I
hired him was the above all the assurances that he gave me. That
is the key part of the decision. And that's what I'm prepared to
say.
It's that Miliband thing where you just don't answer the
question.
It's weird. And then here's another question that he won't
answer and douchebag to the Dennis Skinner. Mr. Skinner
in the course of the past few minutes, the Prime Minister has
been asked a simple question twice and refused to answer it.
As prime minister, did he ever discuss the question of the
Beast guide bed with news internationals at all the
meetings that they attended? I never had one inappropriate
conversation.
Listen, let me be clear it up.
I completely took myself out of any decision making about this
bit. I had no role in it. I had no role in when the
announcements were going to be made. That is the point and when
The Honourable gentleman makes signals like that. I have to
say, order. Again needs to calm down request order.
Request. What is the English word for douchebag? Douchebag No
no no don't say douchebag surely they say like, vaginal washing
salvo vaginal washing sack
Jen was properly a Delta Bravo.
They don't say that. I guarantee you that douche bag is you
feminine hygiene sack?
The Prime Minister's answer must be properly heard the prime
minister of answer answered the question. And the point I would
make unbelievably the party he's been supporting for the last God
knows how many years this party is set out all its contacts, all
its meetings, everything it did in stark contrast to the party
opposite is to Tobias Elwood.
This Alright, now? Do you have more because I gotta say
something.
I got one more now. We'll be done. Okay. Now this is
interesting, because I didn't notice it until I was editing
the clip. And it's apparently there was a whole bunch of
sleaze balls and Gordon Brown's thing and throughout this, this
discussion camera on his keeps pointing them out. But in this
case, he points out something after some question, and then he
just been just just under his breath and you can just barely
hear it in the clip. You're gonna have to listen carefully.
He says, gotcha. Okay, hold on. I got it.
By Damian McBride. You had asked us to Campbell, Campbell
falsifying documents in government. You still got Tom
Baldwin working in your office?
Take that you bully. Damn you. I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. Wow.
All right. So let me just say some. I am actually leaning
towards Murdoch and all of this. I am. And in general, I think
that and I've dealt with lots of journalists. I mean,
particularly of the celebrity tabloid variety, they hide out
in trash cans, they ambush people, you know, which, by the
way, is always okay. There's never a problem. I live in Los
Angeles, I see it happen a lot. You know, there's just
celebrities. They literally are just like stocked beasts. And
there's all kinds of stuff. There's all kinds of, you know,
rummaging through trash break in stealing stuff. You know, if you
really want to get information about organizations, then you're
going to have to resort to some dodgy at best tactics. I'm not
trying to say it's right or legal or whatever. But of
course, the outrage only came after it was revealed that they
hacked into a dead girl's phone. And of course, Save the
Children. everyone's freaking out. But this distraction, and
this is what bothers me so much about the news media is they are
all salivating. And just literally having orgasmic
explosions over this. But where is the media? We talk about the
actual crimes of governments. Like let's take a phone tapping.
Let's take echelon. Let's take what our own government is
doing, actually sucking up all communications, listening to
everything we do tracking all of our online moves. Putting all
kinds of filters and routers in place. We have an entire vacuum
cleaner in San Francisco that AT and T building. No one No one
says anything about that. No, that's okay. It's okay for the
government for our own government to break the law
massively. And finagle and twist the law and where is the press
nowhere? They're all huge douche bags. I'm sorry. Vaginal hygiene
sacks.
And it really is should be playing the douchebag clip.
Yeah,
this is one for all mediums. It really is annoying. And you just
it's like that this is such inside baseball. They are so
loving this. They are just oh, it's disgusting. And any
journalist who is on this story and taught it just their
immediate douchebag because where is their reporting about
what's actually happening with our governments? A UK by the
way, is 10 times worse. It's okay to have cameras on every
corner of the street. It's okay for getting donation lowlands to
start fingerprinting people digitally in the street, that's
okay. It's okay to shoot DNA dust on the people so you can
track them. That's okay. Now that all of that is fine. So
instead we're sucked into this huge reality show. Which by the
way, Murdoch's making lots of money on it. It's great it's
good for business. Everyone's reading his papers watching his
TV shows. It's just it makes me it's abhorrent. There you go.
Thank you chat room completely
themed Pet Pet peeve. Pet peeve. See
douchebags Now, that said that said there is some very funny
stuff. I mean, it's there's some amazingly funny stuff and did
you see what happened with Piers Morgan? Now you and I have
discussed Piers Morgan before he of course we know that this guy
is totally crooked. He did pump and dumps when he was editor of
the Daily Mail. He wrote about the companies that he held stock
in under the guise of total sleaze bucket total. And of
course he thought he would like kind of slip out and be okay. So
there's this member of parliament, Louise mench. And
Louise millenia. Yeah. Louise manche is very interesting.
First of all, I was like, Where do I know this name from? She
has met she just recently got married to Peter match to who
that is Peter Munch.
And Peter mentioned rings a bell. No, he is
Metallica's manager. He manages Red Hot Chili Peppers. And she
writes kind of like sleazy checkbooks, and she's a total I
mean, she she's, let me see she actually gotten married to Peter
mench and didn't tell her own kids from her previous marriage.
Yeah, she she's really weird. And she's she's a gold digger.
It seems like she's totally a socialite, she's kind of hot
have to say that. And this is a somewhat longer clip. But Wolf
Blitzer interviews her plays a clip of something she said
during these hearings, and then gets Piers Morgan on to rebut
what she's saying. And you know that she's on solid ground.
Listen to this.
Piers Morgan, who is now a celebrity anchor at CNN, who do
not appear to have asked him any questions at all about phone
hacking. As a former editor of the Daily Mirror, he said in his
book, The Insider recently, and I quote that little trick of
entering a standard four digit code, allow anyone to call
number and hear all your messages. In that book, he
boasted that using that little trick enables him to win scoop
of the year on a story about Sven Goran Eriksson. So that is
a former editor of the dating mirror, they very open about his
personal use of phone hacking.
Okay, Daily Mirror, not the Daily Mail. So what she I don't
know if you could hear the clip, but she's essentially saying in
his forthcoming book, Piers Morgan talks about how awesome
this is that you just use a pin code that standard set by all
cell phone companies and you can listen to to their voicemails
and that's how I got some big scoops and Piers Morgan Of
course not liking this. Alright,
whatever it is, do you have to make that kind of accusation
for she hides behind parliamentary privilege or
whatever and against Piers Morgan?
Well, I'm I said what I said in the committee, Wolf, and I'm
afraid right now I'm going to say that I can't comment about
it outside of the committee room, because as Mr. Morgan will
know, inside parliament, when I speak at a select committee of
Parliament, I am protected by absolute parliamentary privilege
to repeat something outside of Parliament doesn't give me that
cloak of privilege. And Mr. Morgan is a very rich man. So I
am sure that the ferocious investigative journalists at CNN
and across the news media in the United States will take careful
note of what was said in that committee and look into it.
That's the best I'm afraid I'm going to be able to do on legal
grounds.
So that's like a total that's that's a hit. That's a two to
the head. Had you heard about this?
No, I missed that one.
It this This blew me away. So then, of course, we gotta get
pierced. I understand the legal grounds. Piers Morgan is joining
us on the phone right now. I want to give him a chance to
respond. I guess Pierce is on vacation. He couldn't come into
the studio until that very direct allegation you made
against him and his reputation. peers go ahead and respond to
tell Mrs. Bench what you think. Well, I'm
amused by cowardice in refusing to repeat that allegation. She's
not in Parliament and covered by privilege. As you may be already
aware, she came out with an absolute blatant lie during
those proceedings. At no stage in my book, or indeed, outside
of my book. Have I ever boasted of using phone hacking for any
stories? For the record in my time at the mirror, and the News
of the World I have never hacked the phone told anybody to hack a
phone or published any story based on the hacking of a phone
and what she did today with a deliberate in my view and
outrageous attempt to smear my name CNNs name the daily mirrors
name and I think her now to have the breathtaking dogs just sit
here calmly and say, I can't possibly repeat that because I
haven't got privilege is an outrage and I call on humans
most now to repeat it. So some balls For people that show some
balls, and then they buy a copy of my book, The Insider, and see
where in that book, these claims that you made today in a
televised committee watched all over the world where that claim
is in that book,
a couple of interesting things. First of all, apparently, you in
Parliament, you can say whatever you want, you can't just
disparage people in the United Kingdom, because you can get
sued, and for a lot of money, and you can go down, you can't
just defame people. So that's interesting that in Parliament,
when you're when it's being televised, you can just say
whatever you want, which is good enough, because you know, it's
true. It's like here, Piers, take that. And secondly, I
think, because she's in the publishing world, through her
marriage to Peter match, I think she might have an earlier
Manuscript of the Book, something that might have been
taken out.
That's probably that's quite likely. Most books. If I dive,
yeah, you published a lot of books, you know, I'm tight with
a lot of New York editors, and I keep hearing about stuff that
was taken out of books. And then it gets passed around as gossip
around New York. And it turns out the stuff is really some of
it's pretty juicy. I mean, some of the stuff is like, wow, and
they but this, the publishers are kind of sheepish about
putting certain things in because they have lawyers go
over these books, especially they're written by politicians
or anything to do with politics. And they'll pull that crap out
real fast, right? Because the publisher can get sued if, you
know, although I don't see how the why that particular anecdote
would have been pulled out. That's the only thing that kind
of has, I don't see where it's, I mean, now I can see it today.
But But when this book was went was in galleys, I don't see why
someone would pull that out.
By anyway. It's all irrelevant. It's just entertaining. And it's
obvious that the whole idea is here. Certainly in the United
Kingdom, all commercial media bad BBC good. BBC rocks, BBC is
not the Ministry of Truth. These are the guys who tell it like it
is the guardian. Good. They've got big balls is just more
psyops programming of your mind. And by the way, nice that not
one but two whistleblowers came to an untimely end of their
lives. Did you know about the first whistleblower George
Webley?
No I know about the second one because I think that was I think
that now ranks has the most email. A story not suspicious
by the way, not at all. It's not suspicious. We don't know how he
died. Doesn't doesn't say heart attack or
just die. How
bad is if you get killed? That's one thing, but then not even
tell people how you die. That sucks. These guys are getting
Blyton. So Webley, George Webley, he's actually he's a
very colorful and he died in he was March. And you will remember
this. So he's he's a composer. He's a producer. He did the
original music for the office. He hosted Have I got news for
you on BBC One. He was a radio host in the 90s. And he at one
point, he said that sky bugged the dressing rooms of the guests
in order to get candid off air scoops when they were on some of
these kind of like celebrity television shows. And not just
their dressing rooms, but the green room. And yeah, he died of
a heart attack. This past May age
of 53
met this past May, they still haven't released the full
coroner's report because Gee, that would suck. And so he was
the first guy to kind of blow the whistle. And, you know, I
don't think Murdoch is the kind of guy that's going around
ordering hits on people. This is it's obvious that this is much,
much deeper than we'll ever know. That will ever come out.
They're gonna keep it very superficial. But there is
something interesting with maybe this shows a little tip of the
hat as to how it works. Have you heard of the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism in the United Kingdom?
Yeah, I have is I've learned to the website once in a while.
Yeah, so the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, they
came out. They've come out with a number of primarily anti us
stories. And they came out with this story about the number of
civilians who have been killed by drones that the US has been
flying around everywhere that we don't have an official war. And
by their count, you know, it's at least 6545 or 65 civilians.
Kids have been killed. I've got photographic evidence. And the
Pentagon turns around and says, No, that's not true. They were
all combatants. All of them were evil combatants and terrorists.
And so these guys are pressing pretty hard against Well,
obviously the CIA is where
the new research comes in. It's been done by the FBI. era of
investigative journalism, which is a nonprofit organization of
journalists to dig into this kind of thing. Now they've done
some work on strikes carried out since August 23 2010, which is
when there was a particular strike, which caused civilian
casualties. And when the US says it changed its policy. Now, they
say that by their reckoning 45 people, that civilians who are
not militants or key figures in the leadership of al Qaeda or
the Taliban were killed during that period. They're looking at
a further 15 incidents, wherever they would estimate at least
another 60. uninvolved people were killed, making well over
100 casualties. Now, the US has responded to the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism, saying that these are wild wildly off
these fields. they've rejected them. But this is the response
of the Bureau's Chris woods to that
can feed back from the intelligence community saying
categorically, even having seen her summary findings. They stand
by their view that absolutely no civilians have been killed in
Pakistan since August 23. Last year, we have named individuals
named children, we have photographic evidence, we've
sent researchers into the field and Waziristan to look at this.
We've followed it up through NGOs and lawyers in Pakistan.
And we can't understand why they're categorically saying no
civilian deaths when our evidence seems to absolutely
show that only all
these claims are quite hard to back up on the Well, no, in a
sense that there is quite a lot of reporting from within the
tribal areas by coincidence, an exhibition of photographs.
Alright, so we can keep on going with that. But I find this
highly interesting that we have this independent, non commercial
organization called the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, who
were funded by the David Potter, a David and Elaine Potter
Foundation. And so I'm looking for a connection between the
funding and MI six, because this is clearly pitted against the
CIA and the other intelligence organizations in the US. David
Potter should ring a bell for you, John, as he was the founder
and CEO of cyan
cyan Yeah, remember the computer. Oh, that little that
little
calculator? Yes. That that's a British Deloitte. Yeah fact I
have to say on one as a collector's item
to I've got a I think OSI on the one that the slides up and then
you can plug a modem so I have Yeah, I got one. Somewhere.
Yeah. So in 1980s I
on organizer 119 84. Yep.
So he started the company ran it for more than 20 years, Siam
became a leader in software for home microcomputers. In 84.
Using radical technology the sign on team invented the
organizer we just talked about the world's first volume held a
volume handheld computer for personal use and information. In
1998, he led the creation of Symbian limited in partner with
Nokia Ericsson, Motorola and Matsushita, Matsushita, sorry.
So you're gonna think this guy had intelligence all over him
just building all these operating systems? Right? Do you
know anything about him? If you I mean, because he's like a,
he's like a legend in the computer business.
Never met the guy that I know of. Yeah, he may not even exist
I have in the I might have met him in the 80s. But I don't
recall it.
He might not even exist. Not real. So this is what we need to
keep our eye on. Is for more connections between
intelligence. Certainly mi six in the CIA, and I'm not I'm
still not even sure why. I don't know what what the deal is. But
there's something there and and we just need to have all of our
producers stay vigilant and keep on and see if we can come up
with I think it would be worthwhile
to find out who the consultant was that that one guy in
Parliament keeps ragging on Cameron about the guy say who
name the consulting firm name, the consulting firm my batch of
four times and anyone answer?
Well, then if he's asking the question four times and he
clearly knows the answer.
I would think Sony can't say it. Okay, somebody right. He can't
say it. So somebody's got to have been brought out in one of
them. Somebody must know or it's got to be in a news article. I
mean, yeah, I think that I bet you that's a clue.
So there's there's a couple of wars going on that we don't know
about. And it's not just the drones. And and I think Murdoch
was probably doing as more of a service than even he realizes.
It certainly that's why Yeah, that's right. And he's pretty
blase about to play my Murdoch clip.
The one Nope. Yep. Nope. Yep. Ultimately, you're responsible
for this whole fiasco. There was actually something you said
right after that, which I thought really brought it home.
Listen to this. A lot of
people had different agendas, I think and trying to build this
hysteria. All our competitors in this country formally announced
a consortium to try and stop us in
the corridors with dirty hands and they built this. There you
go. A lot of different people had an agenda. Uh huh. You don't
say?
Gosh, yeah. Well, I'm Murdoch 20 years ago would have probably
had a little more, you know, the guy needs to go on some
testosterone.
He needs some Abilify night. When he's crazy. He's a cut back
on the Abilify. A little a little docile anyway, enough
about this crap because that's what everyone gets all day long
on the mainstream BS media. Let's thanks for producers for
the show. John, do we kind of low I think it

like everything every mountain range you've ever seen in Europe
and anywhere around the world look like except for the
Himalayas. It makes it look like small potatoes. This thing is a
bear to get up because you gotta get Denver's it sits at five
mile, mile high Mile High City, mile high and you have to go up
to to the some of the most rugged, miserable. It's very
scenic, but it's not what I would call fun. It's cool. It's
not hot. Well,
I'm making our discount do it. I wouldn't blame you. Yeah, Mickey
and I were discussing this last night because you know, it is
kind of like out of the way of going straight up north. From
like, Austin is what's kind of kind of the idea. And I'm saying
have you seen how this thing drives on a 4% angle up? Like
we're overheating we're like, oh, another scenic overlook.
Let's stop there. So the engine can cool down. It's like I can't
imagine lugging this thing to the Rockies. I don't think it
would make it Yeah, I wouldn't do it. Alright, who else? Who
else we got That's it. That's all we got one guy. Really?

Our formula is this we go out hit people in the mouth
proud like you mean, shut up
and remind people to go to divorce.org/in a no agenda
nation.com no agenda show.com and challenge the vortech.com/in
a
full rack.org/and A every single person who I've seen on the

built a whole generation a whole generation of kids who only live
by art our jingles. These producers I love him. I love

could actually we wouldn't even mind if John slept in the RV.
Yeah, I would.
We got a great spot for you the one over the cab.
Yeah, I know that spot. That's a great time you wake up and bang
your head every once in a while.
Yeah, and it's nice and cool up there. Not the only thing that's
wrong is we don't really have any signage. We have the we're
still using the sign from Perry pilgrim
and it really did we have a guy that was going to do some
signage for us. I
know we didn't get any signage. We got no signage. We're kind of
bland looking to Like, Oh, that's it.
It's like anything else in show business? Yeah.
When you see it up close, it's kind of disappointing. Yeah, let
me hit you back with one, too. There was other stuff going on.
Actually, there was something funny that I just picked up in
our incessant quest to look at the hot MILFs on the news
television. It's always fun when you get a hot one who says
something really, really dumb. This is some do shit from MSNBC.
And she's ragging on the Congressman forget who it is
doesn't matter about, you know, the debt ceiling, we have to
raise the debt ceiling or the full faith and credit of the
United States will be ruined forever. Same clip. Oh, really?
Oh, here it is.
In the majority of the United States Senate, it goes up $1.8
trillion. Now it's up 2.8 trillion while he's president.
You're simplifying the issues that were on the plate of the
nation at that point when we were looking at going reverting
into a depression at that point. Everyone agree that we were
going
into a depression but go ahead.
Do you have a degree in economics? Yes, ma'am. I do.
highest honor.
Douche
you had that type of trying to get the name of that guy in the
name of the douchebag Woman Yeah,
I've never seen either of them.
I never see Yeah, I haven't either. But they weren't they
were classes classic MSNBC and instead of listening to the guy
just let him talk. You have to throw in. Are you and
economists? Yeah.
Do you know what you're talking about? Yeah, actually,
why did you invite somebody let me ask you, him MSNBC as a
whole. Why do you invite somebody on the show? If you're
going to question their authority? Aren't they supposed
to be there? Because they're authoritative. They're supposed
to know something or you just invite dummies off the street?
Is this like a six o'clock news? Where you braid you just find
the stupid this guy you can't because you know you're gonna
get a funny clip.
Yeah. That's kind of the idea, isn't it entertainment?
Well, it is when you pull that stunt contessa Brewer is her
name.
contessa Brewer never heard of her
now. She's, she's new. She, they just cast her. And you know,
she's not blonde, by the way. She's a brunette.
Yeah, the MSNBC is clueless.
There was something quite disturbing. This is Congress,
Representative Speier, from things spears from San Mateo,
California. And this I picked up from C span I was able to watch
some clips. So of course, we have Don't Ask Don't Tell. Now,
there was a court ruling that from the Log Cabin Republicans,
which I guess is a gay faction within the Republican Party,
saying, Hey, this is all unconstitutional. You have to
end Don't Ask Don't Tell right away. Of course, we know it
hasn't actually been ended. And by the way, all of the every
single servicemen and women that I spoke to up north of Virginia,
they all have had training for Don't Ask, Don't Tell. So it is
underway. But of course, until it's been certified by all of
the chief commanders and the White House and the
psychologists and who else then there's a 60 day waiting period,
then you can go gay everybody. And she, I guess, she's trying
to stop this from happening by showing that nothing has
changed. In fact, she got really graphic and, and she essentially
just said, by telling these two stories, forget about it. We're
nowhere near ready to implement. Don't Ask Don't Tell.
I now want to share with you the story of Blake Stevens. I warn
you that some of the material is graphic. Stevens joined the Army
in 2001. The verbal and physical attacks started quickly and came
from virtually every level of the chain of command. And one of
the worst incidents a group of men tackled him, shoved a soda
bottle into his rectum and threw him backwards off an elevated
platform onto the hood of a car. When he reported the incident
his platoon sergeant told him quote You're the problem. You're
the reason this is happening, I'm quote, and refuse to take
action. Is assailants told him that once deployed to Iraq, they
would shoot him in the head. I recently received
How about that seems like a
unique story.
Well, she has another one and this is from a recent email. So
again, this is like basically saying we are nowhere near the
armed forces because there's so much anti gay ism. It goes all
the way up the chain of command
and email from Heath Phillips, who joined the Navy at the young
age. of 17 and 1988. Phillips was attacked on multiple
occasions beginning his first weekend on duty. When he
reported the assault he was called a liar, a baby mama's boy
and a few other choice words. He would complain to the chain of
command and, and be told to shut up and ask for witnesses. And
one particularly horrific incident, a group of men
attacked Phillips in the shower and sodomized him with a toilet
brush handle. They laughed and joked about it the whole time.
You gotta
admit it's kind of funny.
I don't know if then sound funny to me.
Well, I don't know if it's breakfast bristle side it might
be okay. But to have the handle that's that's kind of a bummer.
After
he went to the infirmary bleeding and in pain. He was
told he was fine. And to take the day off. Take two aspirin.
I finding the stories incredulous. I'm not buying
necessarily. No, of course not exaggerated to me. No, I think
the whole idea is just to propagate the meme that we can't
we we know that this can happen. This is not supposed to happen.
That's why Obama didn't repeal it. It's a big lie. And so just
like, you know, in Afghanistan, we're not going to pull troops
out saying, Oh, we got no, no, no, no is no good. And we're not
going to pull people out of Iraq because I you know, the Iraqis,
they want us and we're not going to allow gays in the military to
be open about their sexuality. Because it's not what the evil
elites want. They want they want to be all buggering behind
closed doors. Do it all in secret. And listen to listen to
Lucifer. I'll get. I'll just prove something to you about
Afghanistan. She was an Eastern bull. And hold on. First. We got
to have her typical. She has she's changed her hairdo, by the
way. Lucifer, Hillary Clinton. Got a new hairdo? Well, good
afternoon.
And let me begin by saying what an absolute pleasure it is. To
be back in Turkey and especially in this absolutely glorious city
of Istanbul
glorious city. I love it so much, because such lovely hair
salons here. And so she's moving around from Turkey, and then
she's talking to India. And here's what she has to say to
our friends in the in India
are important matters on which we all disagree one with the
other. But we do have significant areas of common
interest. We could begin by focusing on violent extremism,
which threatens people on all in all of our countries. United
States is committed to Afghanistan and to the region.
We will be there. Yes, we are beginning to withdraw combat
troops and transfer responsibility for security to
the Afghan people. A process that will be completed in 2014.
But drawing down our troops is not the same as leaving or
disengaging. Yeah, there you go.
So hello, Afghanistan. Hello, Kandahar. Nice to still be here.
This comes out and says, Well, I don't know
what day clip into case. I mean, I don't I didn't hear anything
there. That was. I'm not sure why you played that clip.
Well, because she's saying we're not leaving it. Yeah, the
centennial. Yes, we're drawing down our troops. But it's not
the same thing as leaving. I think that
this was part of I think this is part two contradictory to
Contra. dictum the notion that we're fairweather friends, more
than anything else, possibly. Because, you know, there's this
Chinese thing going around?
Well, she actually says that the you know, they want to be
friends with the Indians and the Chinese. Which would explain the
drones on Pakistan. I guess. They will be your friends.
Yeah, I want to get more on that story. That's where I think we
should be heading with some of our are digging. I'm wondering
how it works. These drones are getting on my nerves.
Yeah, it's kind of annoying. You can imagine getting one shooting
of a Hellfire in your but
your toilet brasure there.
They're basically I mean, why can't they just put these drones
over the US Mexican border and shoot people coming across?
I think that's kind of the idea. I mean, what should be should be
prepared for it. I one of our one of our producers, has a lot
of inside information about the drone programs. And it's so what
this producer told me I'm trying to be very careful here is that
it's a total mess, that there are warring factions inside
these intelligence agencies, and they're all trying to outdo each
other to have have the power. So one instance of like a half a
million dollar server they acquired, then they found out
the software wouldn't run on it. So they just shredded it, they
throw it in the machine Shredder, just got rid of it
half a million dollar server boom gone. And everyone's just
buying stuff and trying to buy bigger machines and bigger
servers to run faster analytics and kill more people from the
sky. Unmanned or people flying in from Langley. And there's no
investigation of that. No one's looking at any of that stuff.
It's It's unbelievable.
Why would they shred the server? Because it was no good.
By the way, I do know that I've seen these shredding devices.
They do exist. Yeah. And they there's one that goes around,
you can release it or you can find a place that has a one
these hard disk shredders, because it guys do the theory is
that the only secure you can do. Like when I throw out my hard
disks. I have a sledgehammer that I slam into a man I figure
that you know, I'm gonna keep my elbow. I don't know anything on
my heart this way I can.
I can just see you outside on a rock. Sledge hammering a dry
eye. Yeah, believe me. The image in your brain is exactly as the
exact image
in your polka dot underwear and your long johns sledge hammer to
add that
red line. Yeah, they're red long suspenders with a flap in the
back. So So anyway, these shredders are cool. I've thrown
a disc or two in them, and you just throw this hard and you
take the whole hard disk and you check it in the hopper and it
just turns it into powder. It's unbelievable.
Perfect. Well that's happening and it's rampant is rampant.
This is why these people listen to the show because they're so
frustrated Lisa like ah thank you
there's such a good story that someone should investigate if
somebody was shredded up
I just got to be so careful server because
they're afraid some memory was there we obviously afraid the
the shredded instead of giving it to them or putting it on the
auction block because, well, you know, there might be some
residual information on there that can do right.
There's some code that I think we need to decode and I'm not
quite sure I mean I have the the pieces of the code it's like a
cipher. And this has to do with the again our technical experts
in the in the intelligence community who are sending a
message and I believe it's in the lyrics of a song this is a
report a total douche report of course from I think CNN about
low sec.
What's going on here well throughout the spring and summer
we follow this group it's called lol SEC it looks like they might
have turned the tables on Rupert Murdoch's group lol SEC now
posting on Twitter a feed saying quote we have joy we have fun.
We have messed up Murdoch's son and it appears they have we're
unable to reach little SEC when
you tried to reach all sec What did he do? You tweet at lol sec.
Hi. Want to come on CNN Z
tweeted it? Yeah,
we want to have you on a dry day regional law sec. Yeah, we've
never really been able to reach them in the course of reporting.
But if you go to the sons webpage, it's www dot the
son.co.uk. It switches over to the LOL SEC Twitter accounts,
which is right over there. See that message? You see there plus
other tweets from them and from followers of them just saying
how funny they think this is. Now lol sec. You know, as I
mentioned, we've been reporting on them all spring and summer
for some notorious hacking incidents. A group that has
claimed responsibility for hacking into the CIA's website
for the US Senate website and hacking into PBS website. Among
other things, it's a group of people nobody knows who they are
or how many are in their group. They have now turned the tables
on Rupert Murdoch's son website at least for now usually these
things last a few hours maybe and then they get back to normal
but it's wreaking havoc right now. It's
another so I think when you so they, why would a group of
apparently youngsters use this as their song. Buddy you my
trusted friends is Terry Jax from like 1972 known each other
since we were nine or 10. I listened to the lyrics. Together
we've climbed hills and trees learned of lovin ABC, C's,
hearts and skin, their knees Goodbye, my friend. It's hard to
die. Not at all know, man. I mean, this is not a group of
youngsters who come up with this song as their code. Do you
remember this song?
Well, let me let me try to summarize what you're trying to
say. First of all, nobody under the age of 40 knows the song
would would know that song enough to want to play it and it
is. And nobody under the age of 40 would like that song. Now you
didn't make that clear. I kind of I still kind of like it and I
still kind of like Okay, are you under 40? No, I'm
over 40 That's why I know that's
what I'm saying. Nobody, nobody under 40 would like that song.
So I already know the song. So okay, so we're assuming I think
I think we brought this up before that we think lol sec.
And let's be realistic about this. And there's certain ways
of doing things that are a total red herring. Trying to hack the
CIA website is nothing anybody in their right mind is going to
do now unless you are the CIA and you're just using it as a
rousse. Right? Don't you think my logics accurate there?
Yeah. And I think there's code in this song. We did our ABCs of
course, everything with ABC three letters, a CIA mi six FBI.
Goodbye, my friend. It's hard to die. So that's true to the head
that they're given people and
wanting to someone? Yeah, yeah. This is just some specific
person.
It's total code. Yeah.
And why would it but why would law sec if there were kids use
that?
Yeah. How Why don't use like Metallica or something something
cool.
Right. And and why would they bother hacking the sun and
making it a pronouncement that that Murdoch was dead?
Well, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. That's the fact and
how come the little SEC website and their Twitter account is
still online?
How calmly? Yeah, that's the question. Yeah, we
Yeah, Twitter takes people off all the time. Now. It's still
there. Why? Why? Why? Cuz no one's investigating. No one
cares. Leave it in there. Because you know, it's like the
guys, you know, hey, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.
Please.
Well, I didn't know what there was, I guess it was a warning
shot across somebody's bow. We can't decode. We can sometimes
identify what we think are codes. But we can't necessarily
decode them. I mean, it's like the 333 thing. We it crops up
all over the place under all kinds of circumstances, but we
don't have no idea what it means we haven't even come up with a
theory.
33 children abducted in the southwest of Gitmo nation UK,
Apple set to open 33 new retail stores. Over the next two
months, Godman invests 33 Crore array in gold, clean technology
ventures investments down 33% riots in Germany, German police
detained 33 leftist activists, Bosnia Herzegovina central bank
made profit of 33 million bam. There's all kinds of stuff in
there. It's like yeah, it's hilarious. You can find all
these wonderful links by the way if you want to try and decode it
at 323 dot na shownotes.com
So I'm coming up on show 333 And I want to remind everybody they
can go to divorce act out or slash na and get a become the
producer, executive producer for show 333 which will, you know,
probably show up in somebody's List of 33 codes and they're
gonna say what the heck is this doing any
shut these guys down? This is no good. So the BBC John. They have
now now with Murdoch kind of out of the way they've, of course we
want to make some news you got to have a survey you gotta have
a study. Study shows something very interesting about the BBC
science reporting. You're gonna die when you hear this clip.
I review of the BBC has coverage of science has praised its high
quality and accuracy, but as warned against giving free
publicity to marginal opinions.
Marginal opinions like, I don't know, global warming is not
real.
The genetics Professor Steve Jones was asked to carry out the
study by the BBC Trust, citing issues such as global warming,
genetically modified crops and the MMR vaccine. He said there
was a risk of providing false balanced in the search for
impartiality. BBC has responded by announcing that it will
appoint a science editor Emma Jane Kirby reports, please
Professor Steve Jones complained the corporation science coverage
sometimes suffered from what he called the nervous tic of BBC
News. its commitment to always producing balanced reports with
a range of opinions. In a fact based field like science, he
said, This led to reports with a false balance because it
presented the views of minority groups as if they had the same
weight as the scientific consensus.
So let me just get this straight. The science is in and
don't be a denier. You should not have the same weight. So I
guess if there's 10 guys saying genetically modified food is
good for you. And two guys saying it's not you should get
like 20 seconds. This is how they're going to balance it out.
out. And the BBC is great, then to defend the sciences in is all
fact based and shut up. Yeah,
there is you there's going to be there's an agenda of what can
and cannot be discussed. And it's going to come down from the
government or somebody. And then then that's going to essentially
debt is the balance. So here's what it is we only talk about
this, we do not talk about the need. This is another reason
there's no balance whatsoever
where it gets worse actual sciences.
The CERN, which is the Swiss Research Center. This article
showed up in a lot of places actually, apparently, scientists
determined that there is a very real link between something
called Cloud cosmics leaving outdoor droplets. So based upon
solar activity, creating more clouds, which can dramatically
increase the temperature on Earth. And from what all the
reports are saying, and this came from developed online, Rolf
Dieter Hoyer, Director of CERN said, I've asked my colleagues
to present the results clearly, but not to interpret them. In
other words, let's not say anything about this because we
need our carbon taxes. So the science is presenting the facts,
but they're not being interpreted and it's not being
reported on.
Yeah. There's another screwball science story floating around it
was in today's New York Times and it didn't The New York Times
is weird, because they never discussed actually what's going
on or why they just mentioned it or it's actually a story on AC
18 If anyone is following along at home scientist under inquiry
resigns from Harvard, this guy who looks kind of like a sketchy
character and Mark Hauser, a behavioral psychologist has
booted essentially out of Harvard there was a good wiki
entry to kind of just finally get to the bottom of it. It has
to do with some monkey studies he was doing that he phony it up
which I don't know I did. You I read I read the article and I've
read this this entry into wiki page Mar C H au ser for people
following along. And I do not. I do not see what I can't
understand is something something screwy about the story
and I haven't been able to figure it out.
So what exactly is the story of what's going on? Well, he got
kicked
out for falsifying information and doing some sketchy work,
supposedly, but if his background is so elaborate, that
it's like he's it stuff is like, it's borderline mundane. I don't
know. I mean, I have no idea but it's like a big deal to discard
like, here's like one of his papers, right hemisphere
dominance for emotion processing in baboons. I mean, who cares?
It's important
stuff.
There's something screwy about the story. I don't know if I'm
gonna get to the bottom of it. But I, what I noticed, mostly
was when I was in the New York Times was there was no mention
of what it was that he actually did. That was wrong. That would
get him kicked out. Yeah.
Why would the New York Times report about
baboons? That's bad, right?
Well, maybe that's something to do with it with this story,
which I got from Business Insider, one in 66. Americans is
now on some some form of anti psychotic medicine. One in 66.
That's like, anywhere you go. There's some there's some psycho
next year. Jonathan was on Abilify or is on what do we have
Zoloft, or Xanax or whatever. It's like, wow, really?
That means at a sporting event where there's 66,000 People 1000
of them are
psycho. They're completely nuts. And wasn't it? I think it was
Bristol in the United Kingdom. This they always do this as a
joke like haha, funny, but not really. So they remember after
the CDC did it as a joke. Now they come out and they say,
Yeah, we have a plan for zombie apocalypse.
I don't think this is a joke anymore.
Peter holds serve as director of community communications and
marketing said in response to requests Yeah.
What do you mean what? You're reading
from something this is not an April Fool's joke. first of
April.
Now this is from The Guardian. Local authorities reveal top
secret plan outlining self defense strategies should
zombies invade. Peter holds serve as director of
Communication and Marketing for the city of the council's of
Bristol said in response to your request for details of Bristol
City Council's contingency plans for dealing with zombies I can
now release to you the following strategy document wrap
your day your reading some some joke from the onion. Now this is
this is the guardian. This is and they have a document. Please
note this document contains various redactions as it has
been considered that some information contained therein
must be redacted for the purpose of safeguarding national
security March top secret the document which has been
published on the what do they know.com site sets out for Alert
States ambient zombie level business as usual, but be on the
lookout for telltale signs? I think we're kind of at that
level now.
Oh my god, this is a gag you fell for?
Oh man, it's so good. Thank you. guardian.co.uk. What are you
talking about? This is not a gag. Guardians presenting it as
a gag. But I mean, at what point is it? Is it not funny? Is it
real? So then we have the enhanced activity level, where
there will be confirmed zombie attacks on the popular on the
populace. A major outbreak zombie infection level in excess
of 1% Multiple sightings across the city and then the zombie
pandemic level which consists of concentrated outbreak with
infectious levels over 30%
I'm looking at The Guardian site right now and I've done a search
for zombies. Yeah, I'm
gonna send you the link through Skype. I'm happy to
do it. And I finding nothing. Yeah, I'm
happy to do it. This isn't they always do this like it's a joke.
But I'm not treating it as such anymore. You get it?
No, I am understanding what you're saying. But I don't see
it on the on the site.
I just sent you the link through Skype. Yeah, I'm going there. To
avoid widespread panic staffer asked to listen for codewords on
radio and television broadcast to warn them that a zombie
attack is underway. Under healthy under health and safety.
The document urges staff to remember the correct zombie
killing procedure quote, fully disconnect the brainstem from
the body through either blunt force or full head removal. I'm
telling you, this is real. We're getting dumbed we're gonna get
zombies. Do you see that you see this looking
at this now? Just missed the deadline is July 7 day I'm dead
there's I don't see any spoofing going on with the site. I don't
get why this is weird.
Yeah, we're here today
would have just I'm gonna totally do the lesson who's even
Morris.
Let's look him up. Steven looks
like a zombie.
You can click on his link right and we get stories from Stephen
Morris. Oh, he does. What else? Yeah, he
got the end it says the training for handling pirate outbreaks
and for spotting the difference between genuine hot air balloons
and evil giant floaty space aliens. is kind of a giveaway
that is tongue in cheek.
Yeah. But but the City Council of Bristol. I mean, why would
you run at all but why would the City Council of Bristol actually
release a document that has this information in it and say it's a
joke?
Yeah, no, it doesn't make any sense. And the CDC,
our very own Centers for Disease Control did the same thing. Did
they until did Bristol think the joke was so funny that they had
to do it again?
No idea. You'd
have to ask them. All right. Well, this definitely going to
be in the show notes.
No, know it's sad, isn't it? So something something this is this
one just really blew me away. Let's see if I can bring this
up. So we have this consumer protection, Consumer Financial
Protection Agency, which was being taken over and set up by
Elizabeth Warren, who I have I hold in low regard. Everyone's
like, no, she's on our side. She's great. She's gonna be
awesome. And I've been watching her testimony or congressional
testimony. It's hours and hours and she doesn't come across very
nice. She comes
she comes across as a douchebag. And she's the one if you
remember, we did have the clip where she says I you know, I was
supposed to be scheduled for something this afternoon. This
is I got I got it. Yeah.
And so she and she's getting hammered pretty hard by some of
these by some of the representatives. Excuse me. And
In a surprise move, President Obama turns around and nominate
some other guy to run this agency so is out During the rose
garden with Warren, who looking very demure, but I guess she's
she knew from the beginning that she was just supposed to do the
front line PR and then boom, in comes this other guy cut the
bureaucracy and put one consumer watchdog in charge with just one
job looking out for regular people in the financial system.
As you and I slaves. This is an
idea that I got from Elizabeth Warren, who I first met years
ago. I don't think this is law. I got it. I got a practice that
first met years ago, on before the financial crisis long,
Elizabeth was sounding the alarm on predatory lending, and the
financial pressures on middle class families. And in the years
since she's become perhaps the leading voice in our country on
behalf of consumers. And let's face it, she's she's done it
while facing some very tough opposition, and drawing a fair
amount of heat. Fortunately, she's very tough. And that's why
I asked Elizabeth Warren to set up this new bureau. Over the
past year, she has done an extraordinary job already, the
agency is starting to do a whole bunch of things that are going
to be important
bull bunch summers, the whole bunch of things. Hey, John, it's
a whole bunch. Just a whole bunch, a whole bunch, a whole
bunch, man,
making sure loan contracts and credit card terms are simpler,
and written in plain English. Already, thanks to the
leadership of the Bureau. We're seeing men and women in uniform
who are getting more protections against fraud and deception.
When it comes to financial practices, and as part of her
charge, I asked Elizabeth to find the best possible choice
for Director of the Bureau. And that's what we found in Richard
Cordray. All right,
Richard Cordray. Richard Cordray, if you look at his book
of knowledge page, brought he was attorney general, in Ohio,
he's made several runs and multiple positions. He's about
my age, I think, maybe maybe even a little younger. And he,
during the financial crisis, he brought huge allegations against
Bank of America. And I guess I didn't we did not succeed. I
don't think Bank of America got any kind of there's no one in
jail. So great job, Richard. Fantastic. But he has a claim to
fame.
Last but not least back in the 80s. Richard was also a five
time Jeff can hear it.
You can't hear it. Hold on.
This is actually a very soft clip. Let me see if I can boost
a little bit of boost the levels. You got to hear it. Hold
on. I shall boost me some levels. Here we go. Output
master gain. Okay, this should do it.
Please. Back in the 80s. Richard was also a five time Jeopardy
champion. And a semi finalist in the Tournament of Champions. Not
too shabby. That's why all his confirmation all his answers at
his confirmation hearings will be in the form of a question.
That's a joke. Yeah.
Which you blew, you blew the punch line.
The punch line and he had to say it was a joke, and you got no
laughs from the grim press corps.
But besides that, are you kidding me? The guy who's gonna
run the Consumer Financial Protection Board is a Jeopardy
winner. Nice. Guy, by the way, he's not a winner, he lost he
lost in the finals.
It's a bit much. Well, I don't know.
I do. I do. It's one big party. And we're not invited. That's
what I know, now in the United States of Europe, as predicted
that talking about these euro bonds, because of course,
everything's falling down Italy downgraded. And I finally am
starting to understand how this works. If your debt is
downgraded, then you have to pay more interest on your loans.
This by the way, this is an eye opener to me, because I'm
finally only understanding this. So if Italy pays so I think now
they're up like five and a half percent. Each percent that goes
up is like $27 billion dollars a month or something. It's like
some outrageous amount. So this is how these these bonds work.
And they're talking about doing a Euro bond as the only way to
save the Union. And one of our producers was kind enough to say
you know, Euro bond is not exactly what you think it is. He
sent me a definition and I don't know if you've had a chance to
talk with Horowitz about this job, but it's something you
should he should be he would be able to tell us exactly how this
instrument works. I'll quote verbatim, a Euro bond is usually
issued by an international syndicate banks and categorized
according to the currency in which it is denominated a Euro
dollar a bond that is denominated in US dollars and
issued in Japan by an Australian company would be an example of a
Euro bond. The Australian company in this example could
issue the Euro dollar are bonds in any country other than the
US. So Euro bond doesn't mean a bond of all of Europe. It's a
particular type of financial instrument that can be issued
anywhere in India in the denomination that the issuer
wants, they are attractive financing tools as they give
issuers the flexibility to choose the country in which to
offer their bond, according to the country's regulatory
constraints, they may also denominate their Euro bond in
their preferred currency. Euro bonds are attractive to
investors where they have small par values and high liquidity.
So I guess we could be buying euro bonds in dollars, that
would be propping up the United States of Europe. Do you
understand any of this?
I couldn't follow word of it.
Great. All right. So in other words, a Euro bond doesn't mean
it's a bond that is only for Europe. It's like It's like
another trick at some other trick that that people are
trying to push in euro bonds. The here's the the article here,
only a radical solution can stop the rot. Sarkozy and Merkel just
had a meeting they did their secret little handshake, which
you can see in the video 323 dot ma shownotes.com where he
squeezes her hand that she's holding it really limp. This is
like the ya know, this is old dead fish handshake exactly what
it is. Dead fish handshake. Nice. So I think this is about
the euro bonds, but it's the name is misleading.
All right. Well, we'll I will discuss this with Horowitz in
some detail. And then we'll come out of it with some explanation
that makes sense, and builds to a crescendo of corruption.
I'm gonna show my school by donate to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do have some people who do want to thank for contributing
to today's show, including Joe cool design out of Princeton,
Princeton, Ontario, Canada, who jumps into the 111 1.11 Club,
also, and he's in there with Thomas Nussbaum, or new swamp
Sir Thomas's matter of fact, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Yeah.
Did you see him but
you know, we know we didn't know we didn't go by Thomas come to
the meetup. Sir. Thomas. Did Sir Thomas come to the meetup? I
don't think so. from Virginia.
in Fredericksburg Yeah, maybe he didn't neighbors with Adam and
Mickey.
That's right. No, of course. He has. The beautiful girlfriend,
right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yes,
of course he does. He's a he's a knight.
That's right. Now I remember I remember bumping rings.
We have our own version of Fisker actually you and him you
and we did I was actually bullied. We bumped
rings I think Minkee bumped rims rings with him when I wasn't
looking. Yeah, man we have our own no joke in there so yeah,
exactly. Our own no agenda fisting.
Jason Stevens sir Jason Stevens, New York, New York. $100 I want
to be crossing the border dealing with the TSA ice and
homeland security. So you can throw some karma my way Grace

Sir Thomas. He gave me a beautiful challenge coin from
Iraq. And so he's another one for you. Okay,
well we're both collecting a lot of stuff for the other guy. We
are I got the I got the coins in the mail. And I Dasha just don't
have to thank him on the show. Next show. The Dutch coins that
have the barcode on the back. Oh, you got some? I got two of
them. Yeah, well,
cool. Well, I have a silver dollar for you. Yeah, on phone.
We should. We should meet up one of these days, like swap stuff.
I also have a World Bank pen for you.
That I could go for Yeah,
it was given to World Bank,
the World Bank and grab some of their pins.
It's already been done. You just need the pad to go with it and
you could sign on prescriptions. Here have

Yep. Alison Hamel and Brandon Mississippi, a little gas money
for the 2008 Hot Pockets tour. Now hopefully if it stops
between Nol ins and Sybil SIP in the SIP MIssissip I'll meet up
or you're gonna go to New Orleans
yeah we're going to New Orleans New Orleans Yeah.
New Orleans New Orleans you like is very pretty town. Yep.
I've been I haven't been since Katrina but I've been

driveway where we started. Okay. Yeah, yeah, well, we have to
drop the rig back off. Now it's starting
to make sense to me. No da
Tony's from King George Virginia. We have David C. Pugh.
No stranger to the support of the show. I'd like to wish my
douchebag twin brother Donna Happy Birthday. We turned 36 on
Friday. Thanks to him. I will always look like a douchebag How
about a Rick Perry double shots? Oh, wow. Okay, this is a see if
we can do that for you. Adios mofo. There you go. Douchebag
double shot with Perry. From David for his twin brother, Don.
And then we have from Cyprus. Alexander light cough or li
cough in the morning Doug's. Greetings from Cyprus. Here's
some petrol money for Adam $53.53. Please check out the
situation in Cyprus as well. We had an explosion of confiscated
Iranian weapons that were lying in an army base explosion wiped
out the like the electricity plant that was nearby and
producing about 60% of the islands electricity. By the way.
Cyprus is one of the few countries not affected by the
credit crunch, at least until the explosion. Yeah, I have been
watching. Of course, Cyprus has always been a highly contested
region. And they would say that that's not a you might have
preferred the credit crisis over the blowing up stuff.
But we, in fact, I have an end to show clip. That might be it's
five minutes long. It's from Sarbanes, the guy from Sarbanes
Oxley going on and on about Cyprus.
Yeah, there's this there must be gold in them held hills or
something. There's something going on in Cyprus
oil. Yeah. That would be it.
Who's always fighting for Cyprus? Is Greece and who else
is fighting?
Well, Turkey is the one that's the bad actor, apparently,
according to our people, right? And there's a bits interesting
because what do you if you listen to that clip, or you want
to listen to that clip. What's interesting is that apparently
the EU presidency, I think the next go round is going to be
Cyprus and Turkey who says they're going to boycott the EU
and tell everyone to screw themselves if they go through
with it.
Oh, that now it makes so much sense because Lucifer was in
eastern ball. She comes out, she says, hey, you know, I support
the Greek austerity measures.
So she's totally on the turkey side. Oh, she's
on the turkey side. Yeah, interesting. Sarbanes is on the
Cypriot side. Uh huh. Hold on, let me use something up.
The other is let me play the loose just real quick, but it'd
be worth let me play the loose for clip about Greece. Come on.
Lucifer United
States strongly supports the pump and drain as government's
determination to make the necessary reforms to put Greece
back on sound financial footing, and to make Greece more
competitive economically, committing to bring down the
deficit and passing the medium term fiscal strategy were vital
first steps. We know these were not easy decisions. They were
acts of leadership. And those acts of leadership will help to
build a better economic future. Now the challenge will be to
keep moving forward with the same determination and
commitment to make good on the fiscal targets and continue to
deliver reform that drives future growth.
So here's the way I see it. She's there with pop and Dre,
who's who we know was educated and wasn't educated in
Philadelphia. He speaks perfect English. And guys, he
goes, Minnesota wasn't it could have
been Minnesota. The guy's a perfect shill. So it's like hey,
we got to screw Greece. I'll betcha prediction Red Book time.
Huge oil strike in Cyprus.
Yeah, okay, I'm not gonna get oh, well this he said oil a few
minutes ago. So I'm gonna give you a full I'm gonna take half
on that one. Oh, we
can both be on on a prediction. There's nothing wrong with to do
that.
Right. Strike in or in and around cybers
it's got to be huge. And that's why stuff is blowing up. Then we
need the security in there we need the blue helmets or
someone's got to move in and protect the population from the
evil The alkaitis The alkaitis

However, the weekend didn't end well. When my brother Matt drove
back to Newport News Sunday night. He was robbed in front of
his apartment building as he was getting out of his car. They
took his wallet, phone, iPod and MacBook. I'm requesting some
karma form so it can hopefully find the purpose and deal with
them appropriately.
You've got karma,
which really, really sucks. So thank you all very much for
supporting the show. We can't be a little bit short. It is the
summer months. But of course, the things that really worked
well are those monthlies, the $5 The 1111 reminder that we have a
show 333 coming up, this is a really big one. And of course we
have the lovely night rings for those of you who reached
knighthood, status, and I've heard a lot of people on the
trip so far so that you know look at the ring and say, wow,
you know, I really want to get one of those. It is kind of the
the pinnacle of of support for the program. So let me mind
control you for a second
Dvorak. org slash in a
here we go with a birthday list starting to write off with a
faux pas on our part mine I guess Joseph Costello. His
birthday was on the 17th of July his daughter Mary sent in a
donation and congratulation for him so sorry, Joseph, but you
know what? You're getting old anyway. Happy birthday to you my
friend and from your daughter Mary. Anthony Cusimano is
Brother John's birthday is on the 22nd of July Happy birthday
to you. David to Pew says Happy Birthday to himself and his twin
douchebag brother Donald turns 36 On Friday, Megan Upson
congratulates her husband Eric Upson and David Bakker. For
Bucher turns 31 Today happy birthday from all your friends
here at the no agenda show. Nice unfortunately no knighthoods,
but as we said, came up a little bit short. All three of the
podcast licenses I am behind. On dishing them out but the 33 that
are behind your work yeah I am. Well, you know what?
What's your said when he backed into the meat grinder
so
I guess that's it. We're done. No, I
don't think so.
Well, let me let me start with the second part of the show
we're going to what I believe now is the code page and the New
York Times which is page 10. And just read this a couple of
stories for you that you didn't hear about anything you know, we
have we have one guy in you mentioned at some shows ago how
bad none of the world's great leaders ever get cancer or have
any problems right and of course then Hugo Chavez has got a
apparently nut cancer something with a tumor the size of a
baseball, he's blaming
Hillary, I read an article that he was on his TV show saying
that all of the evil people in the State Department I've given
me cancer
this would be your theory to the Kazakh and Stan guy Kazakh chief
has said to be in Germany after surgery. That's the top story on
page a 10. Also, you're stepping back taking a bigger role in Mid
East peace push. And here's one that I thought was interesting
again on the same page, France says Qaddafi could stay in Libya
if he agrees to give up his power.
Yeah, you know that the State Department had a meeting with
Gaddafi these guys did you know that? No, yeah. Yeah, the head
of me they go
there with his guys. Yeah, not with him but with Yeah, with his
with his guys and with the spokes holes and then Lucifer
comes out again and confirms that the TNC is our Ella
couture. Whatever it is collaborator. Was that word,
inter low core inter locally or inter low core inner lock your
lock eater?
Yeah, interlocutor which I don't know why didn't just say our
buddies and we're gonna give them all the money that we stole
so that they can it's actually very interesting quote, so that
they can uphold all of their contracts so I guess the whole
idea is you go in you kick out the guy who's keeping the profit
then you get a couple of shields in there you make them the
government is effectively what's happened you plant a European
flag in in Benghazi saying okay, here we are. You give those guys
billions of dollars and then you take the profit from their own
money
I know it's hilarious I mean, it's a good stuff you gotta get
gotta you just gotta admire it you got you got to have the
same. On the same page. There's a little section of world
briefing, which are the shorter stories that need to be talked
about Italy to setbacks or billet Berlusconi, France is
delayed another nuclear reactor 1800 People just lost her
citizenship in Canada. Oh, really? And if fewer scam their
way into citizenship and didn't pay the big bucks like you're
supposed to, yeah. And then deadly quake hits in three
nations. And then on page 11 You got food crisis in Somalia is a
famine says the United Nation.
Yeah, hold on two things. So first, Kyrgyzstan got hit by an
earth but and it is the earthquake machine. Once again,
only like you know very shallow, very shallow earthquake. 6.3 I
believe. Now we remember that Kyrgyzstan was on the map that
was even in the in the video game Call of Duty wasn't it?
Call of Duty? The new one that has Kyrgyzstan? We're all gonna
go to Kyrgyzstan. That's where that's where it's all happening.
Yeah, it's 6.2 magnitude earthquake rumbled in
Kyrgyzstan, killing at least 13 people a little more than half a
mile deep. So
says according to the times that 13 people were killed in
Uzbekistan and nobody was killed in Caracas at Stan.
Ah, this is from UPI. Interesting.
Oh, well, there's a discrepant piece of information then. Yeah,
indeed. We might have some some some of them might mean
something. Maybe. Anyway, that's kind of like the top. Why No, no
code news. I don't know what what the code is. There's a girl
so last stories Ireland Parliament blames Vatican for
covering up pedophile cases. And that to me just says that the
Irish are going to stick the Vatican where the bill because
they're to prop up their banks isn't the end up in a bank?
How does that work? We say if you don't if you guys don't pay
up we'll tell about all the kitty prawn you've been
propagating. Is that how it works?
Yeah, it is probably it probably is a an extortion thing behind
it. Yeah. Why not?
So CNN has a new shill for the Pentagon. Forget the guy's name,
but he's on all the time now. And he keeps talking about
sources my sources in the Pentagon and We know how this
works. Yeah, you have a source. It's called your handler only
you don't know it. And he's and he's not naming these sources.
And well, there's just so much going on two things number one,
and this of course is to help propagate the message that
Karzai that's the guy who wears the calf fetus hat on his head,
who was the president of Afghanistan won't allow the
United States primarily to take over their central bank so
here's how Wolf Blitzer and this douche here's how they talk
about ailing
got this billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars alien
missing in Afghanistan, billion billions of dollars trillion.
Chris Lawrence, John,
how many?
billions,
billions of dollars. It just doesn't make sure you heard it
billions of dollars. Hello, do you hear the billions of
details for us, Chris at a time of economic difficulty, and
they're looking to save money all of a sudden, billions,
billions and Afghanistan what's going on? Yeah, well, basically,
this federal law they chose in about 10 years in the US still
only has limited visibility of what happens to billions of
dollars once we send it to Afghanistan, billions, zillion
Senator Claire McCaskill who has been tracking government waste
in these countries, she gives it away, by the way, for several
years,
she gives it away.
We had pallets of cash walk away in Iraq. And I was hopeful after
doing a lot of oversight in Iraq that we had learned a lot of
lessons from that. This report says all those lessons have not
been learned. Because clearly we have to be able to track the
currency as it flows to contractors as it flows to
subcontractors. And the lack of cooperation in the Afghanistan
banking system is not helping us with our oversight
responsibility.
Are we stupid, or what? Billions and billions and billions and
billions pallets full of money. Meanwhile, we're living the
American dream everybody, the American dream of just getting
by in fact, I think it's time to play that part from our
president one more time, just so you know, let me repeat billions
and billions and billions of dollars being handed out to
government contractors shredding computers, doing whatever they
want in sand and killing people. And here at home
in the end, the folks I hear from and letters are meet when I
travel across the country. They aren't asking for much. They're
just looking for a job that covers their bills as they're
looking for a little financial security. That's right. They
want to know that if they work hard and live within their
means. Everything will be alright. They'll be able to get
ahead and give their kids a better life. That's the dream
each of us has for ourselves and our family.
That's right, John, that's my zero
every time I hear that I get so irked that is so pathetic
it's my dream
that's what the President thinks of the public Yeah, yeah the
American dream just getting by screw Yeah, we're gonna give all
this money away meanwhile, we're gonna give it to the bankers and
the and the bowl crappers in Iraq and we're just gonna lose a
lot of it. We don't because we don't care. We're just throwing
it around. We would lose it so
yeah, that's right. Billions and billions and billions.
Not to mention the potholes on the highways in this country.
John cedars borax actually, I
gotta say the interstate system
rocks Oh, down there.
Oh my god, they're
highway 80 outside of my house here is an interstate system and
it's filled with potholes. Yeah, you go down to Alabama where all
these pork barrel projects ended up and yeah you can drive down
some six lane road with nobody on it and the things smooth as
as can be but so what that's just a scam it's nice drive
great roads down in the south. Where's a good roads in
California where they've taken all our money? Yeah,
well, shut up slave is great. Fine. Look
at the traffic down in Southern California. Hey, how
was how was Carmageddon? By the way I didn't hear anything how
did it turns out it was another scam bola one of these deals
we're all we're gonna have to shut down to it they're gonna
have a little bonus you if you can get the job done faster to
get the job done like half the time and they got a huge
millions of
extra dollars. Oh, you're kidding me. And everyone's
happy in that time and time again. Time and time again. This
goes on. Oh man, really. They offer a bonus. They get the job
done and did record time and take the money
and they spent millions of dollars getting everyone to tell
everyone to stay away so that they could actually do their job
and play some golf.
Wow. Total scam.
So new report out John new report. Be very, very afraid
everybody. We got some terror, terror, terror terror you can be
afraid terror, terror, terror terror
warning 1000s of our most critical facilities including
nuclear power plants on alert. After US officials say some they
have already been penetrated by potential terrorists trying to
pull it in side job
I love it penetrated by potential terrorist trying to
pull an inside job great line great script writing that
deserves an Emmy for the compromised ABC News,
ABC is Brian Ross broke the story of this new warning which
comes just weeks before the 911 anniversary morning, Brian
That's right Robin. Oh, just
just weeks Oh, it gets better intelligence
report focuses on concerns that terrorists are trying to gain
recruits inside major US utilities. Hundreds of chemical
plants oil refineries and power plants in this country provide a
tempting target for terrorists
as tempting target for terrorists
do they think targeted for terrorists today?
Do they understand that that this is like a script writing?
101
you do that? You always do that? Yeah, that's within
alliteration. You always do it is just a rule
tempting target for terrorists 333
Especially if an insider helps. There are a lot of very
sensitive facilities where someone can get a job on the
inside can get access to a control room flip a switch which
causes electric power to short circuit the power grid
you know what it's not terrorists douche it's our
people can actually flip those switches just so you know,
causes a pipeline to explode. Oh, Homeland Security
Intelligence report issued this
week. By the way it's This is Richard Clarke who was talking
obviously Richard Clarke is such as this guy. Oh, yeah.
No, listen, listen, they got another they're all consultants
that are all part of this
cabal insider threat to utilities warns that violent
extremists have in fact obtained insider position.
To someone more determined and had the right access. The damage
that they can inflict could affect 1000s of lives.
The US was done last year after the arrest in Yemen of an
alleged American recruit to al Qaeda, shallow reef Mobley of
New Jersey, who had turned out had been employed at five
different US nuclear power plants in and around
Pennsylvania. Able to pass federal background checks. Many
of these Hilkiah sympathizers can pass background checks,
because there's nothing on file anywhere that says there are no
sympathizer living here in the United States. There
you go. That's Richard Clark. You could be an al Qaeda
sympathizer living here in the United States important
information for the next clip
documents found in the compound of Osama bin Laden, a treasure
trove show he was pushing for a major attack in the US to match
the scale of 911
because he's totally stupid and thinks that's the great time to
do it. When everyone's on high alert that's when we're going to
pull a fast one they'll never know what came.
And Al Qaeda has already put the word out for recruits in its
online magazine called Inspire.
Did you read your monthly copy of Inspire John, did you see the
read in that piece of crap sometime back but I should start
in a good because obviously that's where they have all their
classified ads back and curriculum with the programs. We
plan to do this and that and it is all in there.
Just so you know. Yeah. Well, listen, they actually have I
think they're going to quote the ad looking
for brothers of ours who have specialized expertise and those
who work in sensitive locations. Yeah,
this is wanted help wanted. Brothers and arms who work in
places of sensitive expertise. Respond to Al Shabaab be Wabi
Dhabi. Please do not contact this poster with commercial
information. Photos upon requests.
Yeah, that's the ad for the mob man in that peak show. Exactly.
The
Homeland Security says it has no specific credible threats for
any oh, here's the disclaimer, one utility but that operator
should understand their employees, especially
disgruntled ones. targeted for recruitment as saboteur is
robbing
you could be a disgruntled Greg saboteur, saboteur disgruntled.
If you got a job in this country. Why would you be
disgruntled?
And listen, listen to Robin who
actually comes back to keep in mind and hard to believe we're
coming up on the 10 year anniversary.
That's right, a lot of concern about why nothing's
happened. No, listen, those are hard to
believe that we're coming up on 10 years and nothing's happened
even though the whole population has been been sedated and
badgered and crap crapped on by the TSA and nothing's happened.
Recruitment has suffered tours
rather than something to keep in mind and hard to believe we're
coming up on the 10 year anniversary of not Alas, right a
lot of concern about what might happen between now and then
oh, what might happen between now and then we might expect
play the
douchebag things.
Now it gets better, it gets better, because remember how
they were talking about the outside and now having a new CEO
telling you, so this is now this is I think alamin new chairman
and CEO, it was CEO it was just CEO. So Now welcome to whatever
so here's this uh this douche guy from We gotta stop saying it
but unfortunately they all are who's on CNN who get his handler
passes on this information to him he just he treats it like
it's a multinational corporation with the verbiage she's using
the homeland is always going to be under threat of attack but
always just so you know, John, it's always going to be under
threat of attack.
Oh my god I can barely hear it
this is the only problem I have with me potted up a bit for you.
Okay, hold on. You just got to hear this guy is outrageous.
Okay.
overlook the homeland is always going to be under threat of
attack but Americans abroad may have more reason to worry under
alkaitis new leadership new leadership. Here's why. To his
last day are some of the Laden was obsessed with staging a
spectacular attack here in the United States. Spectacular but
its successor I'm an alza. War he officials tell us is more
willing to stage regional attacks overseas going after
diplomat US military installations, even companies,
Western companies and Americans working abroad. Some of those
companies may not have the security procedures that some US
institutions would have
you know, that is that's a total sales job for Z and formerly
known as Blackwater. We need more security more, more
government sponsored armies, private armies
and probably some machines. We need some machines and buildings
that people have to while Yeah, of
course the reasons for this one security is beefed up here and
officials say you need a more specialized operatives to crack
American security today. Another reason is that al Qaeda has been
dealt a few setbacks. I mean, you look at what are some of bin
Laden brought to the table and he had a tremendous amount of
patience, he would nurture a plot for years and years.
Whereas you look at the last couple plots the Christmas Day
bomber whose explosive started smouldering on board the plane
now not on board the plane in his crotch and let people
subduing the Time Square bomber from last year whose explosive
failed to detonate yet another
guy that wasn't stopped by security, but by human
resources, they had not
been provided sufficient amount of training to work those
improvised explosive devices. So you may have a less capable or
rushed sort of operation out there. In so that may lead to
more regional attacks, more aligned with some of the al
Qaeda affiliate regional affiliates in what they have in
mind.
Let me ask you now Do you can you hear CNN is new background
noise? They have they've taken a turn on the old ticker tape. Do
you see the teletype in the background of the newsroom?
Right now they have like a Jhansi DVORAK Keyboard tap
listen carefully.
You know, if you will, the the home office and the satellite
office, you have al Qaeda and you have a very powerful ops
Shoot, I'll type in the Arabian Peninsula. Any chance, Chris,
these groups will be locking arms Joining Forces Patmore
powerful force.
There was some talk about some reports actually of zwaar. He
merging with Anwar al aulaqi, one of the key figures of al
Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. US official we spoke with,
doesn't really see that he says, Well, this idea of a merger for
all intents and purposes, al Qaeda and al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula, they they work together, they are already
allies. So in some respects, they're already there. And
that's for the two men themselves. They're very
different. They come from very different backgrounds.
It's like talking about a merger of banks.
It's just it's
exactly like talking about a merger of banks. It's like,
crap, these people should be ashamed of themselves, because
they say that somebody's calling me out and saying that too
often. Yeah. And I said, you know why? Just to say yeah,
why don't you make a no agenda ashamed of you.com site and
documented? Of course, this guy unknown unknown person inside
the Pentagon tells us they're merging a merger of sorts. You
know, we've got regional activity we've got affiliates.
What is it? Was it gonna make super al Qaeda super al Qaeda?
And I'll see
now that there's a clip, yeah,
I can I can't edit super al Qaeda LLC. By the way, this just
infer Mr. Oil. He says the whole thing in Cyprus, it's not the
oil, it's the oil dollar. He says 95% of all Russian oil
companies have affiliate firms or sister firms in Cyprus. In
some places Cypress is populated only by Russians. Well, that
turned that twist into something new
doesn't twist things
a little bit. I turns it around good.
That's why it's still looser. For would be siding with Turkey.
Yeah, but why is Sarbanes what is sarva? You and I now I didn't
think it was important to play that clip. We're gonna play it
now. But it was a long clip. I had to play it at the end of the
show. No, because we can sit here through five minutes of
this four minutes and 30 seconds. It's really a long
clip.
Why not? Why don't we just listen to it? All right, listen
to me. Got it. Yeah, it's worth it.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Maryland, Mr.
Sarbanes for five minutes. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, as I do
each year on the anniversary of Turkey's unlawful invasion of
Cyprus to again call upon Turkish authorities to end the
37 year military occupation of this island nation. The tragic
history of the occupation is well documented. Sadly, with
each passing year, still more indignities are visited upon the
Cypriot people. On Christmas morning 2010. A large number of
Orthodox Christians made their way to the saints and ecfs
Church during the prayer service. The Church, the Turkish
occupation, authorities barged into the church drove out the
worshippers and sealed the doors of the building. This was an
assault on religious freedom. A few months ago on May 2, Turkish
occupation authorities demolish the 200 year old chapel of St.
Fackler, located in the village of a colada. This too, was an
assault on religious freedom. These are among countless
examples of the systematic repression and destruction of
the Orthodox Christian faith that is carried on by Turkish
authorities on the island. United States Commission on
International Religious Freedom, the body that is tasked by this
Congress on the state of religious freedom throughout the
world in terms of advising us on that situation reports that
gross violations of religious freedom occur in the areas under
the control of the Turkish occupation authorities. Turkey's
foreign minister, the Honorable Annette de voto glue has
proclaimed that Turkey's foreign policy is rooted in the doctrine
of quote, zero problems with its neighbors, unquote.
Unfortunately, the fruits of this doctrine appear to be
wholly absent in Turkey's relations with the Republic of
Cyprus. Under the auspices of the United Nations, Turkey
agreed as a confidence building measure in 1979 to withdraw and
handover the uninhabited city of Famagusta to its rightful
inhabitants. Despite the annual calls of the United Nations, for
Turkey and the Turkish occupation authorities to honor
this agreement, Famagusta remains a ghost town. The
international community continually demands the
withdrawal of the overwhelming Turkish military presence on
Cyprus. However, the Turkish occupation authorities have not
even considered a reduction of military troops. As a candidate
country seeking accession to the European Union, Turkey has been
advised to open its air and sea ports to the Republic of Cyprus.
As a condition for the further negotiation of the accession
chapters. Turkey nonetheless refuses to open its ports to
Cypriot flagged vessels. Cypriot Cyprus will hold the presidency
of the European Union in the second half of 2012. Rather than
seize the opportunity to put its, quote, zero problems
doctrine into effect. Foreign Minister devoto glue just the
other day threatened the European Union that Turkey will
freeze relations with that body when the Republic of Cyprus
holds its presidency. Mr. Speaker, this is not the conduct
of a country serious about joining the family of democratic
nations. The United States, the European Union and the United
Nations all call for a just and lasting settlement that reunify
Cyprus as a bi zonal by communal Federation after 37 years of
broken promises, it is high time that this chamber demand that
Turkey conduct itself in accordance with the standards
and values expected of a democracy, a member of NATO and
a candidate country of the European Union. I yield back my
time.
So if we take that into mind and we take into mind that Lucifer
wants Greek debt Greece dead And she's in there saying, Oh, I
love Istanbul. It's my favorite city I party. And she got her
hair done. What does this tell you about the Russians and the
Chinese?
I don't know. There's, there's a couple of interesting memes that
came up in here. I want to mention just just to throw it
into it, trying to deconstruct what's going on here. First of
all, find la Gusa is a ghost town why? He mentioned it twice.
And it's a ghost some to town, they've they've they've taken
everybody out of the town, and they occupy there's nobody
living there. Okay, what is that all about? And what did he mean
by by zonal and by communal?
Oh, it's, it's kind of like by curious only with toilet
brushes,
apparently. Now, the funny thing was I you know, I was
interviewing Bruce Sterling when I was doing that big thinker
show, and he talked about visiting Cyprus. And he said, he
actually made the comment that he's going to try to travel
that's because it was such a harrowing experience that you
can almost get killed, apparently is not a good tourist
place. You can get killed there.
Okay, now that would that would rank low on my places to visit
in that case.
Anyway, and then Sarbanes is trying to turn into a religious
wars thing because he never said it. But let's face it, he was
hinting at it. Christians were being rousted by Turks. Oh, wait
a minute Muslims. So this is this whole story this Cyprus
thing is, is it's got so much it's so shrouded in kind of
obscure with obscure information, memes and all the
rest of it, that there's something going on there, I
guess, has been going on for a while. And nobody pays much
attention to it. Because it's been. It's been established
since the 70s. I guess it's weird.
Mr. Oil just said to top it off, Russians don't need visas to
travel to Cyprus, and just hop on the plane.
So Russia owns Cyprus, literally, except for the Turks.
So how far
is so how, where does Cyprus lie in relation to Syria?
Nowhere near?
Nowhere, just yeah, there you go.
I don't know. But we're doing some deals with the Russians.
That's for sure. We're definitely doing deals with the
Russians, and it must be to combat China. I don't see any
other way.
Anyway, I just find that this is, I don't know what to make of
it.
Let me just wind up with take a look. Let me wind up with some
great Haiti news for you
do that? Well, before you do that, I want to take a look at
the the proximity. Okay, Cyprus is interesting, because it's
well, you know, it's right off the coast of Syria.
Why did I tell you?
What do you know, Cyprus is between Turkey which is north of
Syria, and is also the northern border. And essentially, it's
across from now, Lebanon, so this is also close to Lebanon,
Syria.
Strategically, it's great. Hold on a second mica you've been to
Cyprus, you said, Come You gotta you gotta come closer. You gotta
come closer. Otherwise, we can't hear only really big fat
Russians. You gotta come close. You gotta you gotta. You gotta
talk here say horrible place.
I jump into the pool. And the only thing I see is like 25 Huge
Russian ugly men with hair on the backs and just very rude and
loud and screaming it was.
There you go firsthand reports from Cyprus. This is here's the
holiday destination guide. Do you like Russia and bears? Then
Cypress is for you. You too could get yelled by horrible fat
Russian guys in the pool.
All right. So there you go
so far. So it's global politics. It's obvious. And Russia has got
their military base in Syria, we still haven't entered Syria. But
we are helping out, you know, maybe maybe we'll let the
Russians do it. Maybe we're given Russians who say hey,
Russia, now you take care of Cyprus? You already got that?
And then why don't you? Why don't you guys walk into Syria?
Well, there seems to be again,
one of these little strategic things going on with between
different agencies, intelligence or otherwise, the State
Department wants Turkey in Cyprus, it seems to me with the
Clinton initiative. But Sarbanes who represents I guess some
other group of people with a vested interest wants turkey
out.
Maybe the guy has a conscience.
I don't know what to what Sarbanes the GAO put Sarbanes
Oxley in one of the most onerous pieces of legislation in the
history of the United States. That guy
he's a Christian. He wants some crazy, he's got a Christian vibe
going on. So I got Christians get rousted. Anyway, clearly we
have to do more work. But I don't think you heard this on
CNN did you? Did you get hammered once again by stupid
Murdoch stories. In the United Kingdom, people are glued to
their television and radio Do sets which they pay for I might
add. You have to pay for that in order to listen. You have to
have a license an actual license to listen to radio and watch
television and all this all that is Murdock Murdock Murdock, it's
a big distraction and things are going on around you, my friends
that you are not being told. And everyone's taken never let a
good crisis go to waste. And that's what we do. At least
that's what we attempt to do. We're not much we're just a
writer and a DJ.
limbaugh's a DJ, yeah.
Would you categorize any different he's a he's a he's a
drug addict.
I'm an extra 100 million dollars. I think that's the real
difference. Yeah, you
know what, I don't want $400 million. I just want to live the
American dream of just getting by. Yeah, and right now we're
still eating the airplane. So please consider us in your
dreams.org/and A. Just a thought.
So what before you realize you guys you fade out? Tell us where
the where the where the little van is headed.
The little van is headed to Jacksonville? Darling.
Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville tonight.
You're gonna go there to St. Augustine.
Are we going through St. Augustine to get there? Now you
thought you threw a curveball at her. And then after
Jacksonville, we're going to Tampa and Tampa Bay? Can
I say something before you go on and on? Yes. You have to go
through St. Augustine. Okay, Mickey, we have to go the oldest
settlement the United States is a beautiful town in Jacksonville
is a basically a craphole.
Well, we're only staying in Jacksonville overnight. Maybe we
should stay overnight in St. Augustine.
That's where I'd stay. Because like, where's that?
It's funny, you know, when you have a European to like, what
state is Madison? And again, it's like, like, 15 times a day.
Where was Baltimore?
But you know, it's for us. It's
easy, right? And, you know, it's like we've grown up Baltimore,
Maryland, as like, you know, what city is? What, Mickey,
what color is the White House?
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?
Well, that's a good question. That's not necessarily grant.
Let me say we have a couple of people to thank, of course,
Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia. And the Mysterious Mr.
Smith, apparently was Mr. Smith's idea actually to give us
the RV and I guess he manhandled the Baron s to actually make her
give it up but we are so incredibly thankful as we use
this hot pockets mobiel to make the the miles roll on by it
really is a fantastic support of the show. could not be more
thankful of that. What else? Well, so meet up in Tampa, and I
guess we're gonna try and hit St. Augustine this evening. And
short couple of days. We're gonna stay in Tampa for three
days, John, that we have. Yeah. Well, we're gonna get to St.
Augustine is why have you ever driven across America? It's a
