About this episode

Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga claims international intelligence services know the September 11 attacks were a false flag operation orchestrated by Mossad. This explosive allegation surfaces as the Obama administration cancels the Polish missile shield and settles major litigation with the Bank of New York Mellon. These geopolitical shifts coincide with a series of high-profile suicides among financial executives, including Rockefeller Corporation CEO James McDonald and Finn Casperson, suggesting a violent internal conflict within the global financial and intelligence sectors.

Mainstream outlets including ABC, CBS, and NBC maintain a total blackout on undercover ACORN videos while prioritizing the Kanye West and Taylor Swift VMA incident. While Charlie Gibson claims ignorance of the prostitution and human trafficking footage, the SITE Intelligence Group, led by Rita Katz, continues to distribute slickly produced Osama bin Laden tapes to the New York Times. Simultaneously, Israel issues a year-end deadline for crippling sanctions against Iran, threatening a unilateral strike on nuclear sites if Western diplomacy fails to halt enrichment.

Bill Maher faces criticism for ageist remarks regarding Sarah Palin and accusations of hypocrisy for labeling Matt Drudge a subliminal racist. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the federal government's move into cloud computing via Apps.gov and the suspicious timing of the H1N1 vaccine rollout. The episode concludes with a look at the NASA CARE project's atmospheric geoengineering experiments and the strange rise of cargo bicycles in the Netherlands.

CHAPTER 02 / 35 Discussion

ACORN Undercover Videos and Mainstream Media Silence

Undercover videos targeting ACORN offices continue to surface, with new footage reportedly coming from San Diego and other locations. ABC World News anchor Charlie Gibson claimed ignorance of the story when questioned by the press, highlighting a perceived blackout by mainstream news outlets. The videos depict staff members appearing to advise undercover actors on illegal activities involving prostitution and human trafficking.

acorn· charlie gibson· undercover video· james o'keefe· hannah giles· media bias

02:17 Four more. Didn't we predict it? I mean, it wasn't that hard of a prediction but yeah... The best one and of course here's the thing is the mainstream media now has completely decided they don't know what to do and I want to explain to the public out there what's actually going on behind-the-scenes in my opinion And apparently on Tuesday, I guess Charlie Gibson ABC World News tonight They asked him about this, some press guy asked him. He said he didn't know anything about it. You're kidding me! He didn't know anything about it? Oh, he's so full of shit... He never heard of it. He's a jackass. He said that he didn't know anything about it and was stunned. My God, there is gambling going on there?!

03:03 So the funny one is that, well he's probably you know... Mind control. But anyway the uh the funny thing is that they got this one from the San Diego office has some of the best stuff because there are two things happen there Said that he could he has his you know, I guess he's Hispanic He says well You know if you want to bring these girls in my advice is you get him into Tijuana and I have friends And we can get a minute. No This is great. So it's a total of what, seven offices now of Acorn they've gone into with the same hooker story? Yeah I think it was five but then the other thing that was funny is apparently also in the San Diego office one of people propositioned the girl

04:00 Oh my goodness, oh that's great. So of course the real story here or what's turning out to be the real story is that mainstream quote mainstream news is not reporting on it. Play Jon Stewart. Hold on a second you have so many clips here we go Although, you know John so there's two stories going on. uh... this what this story the acorn story i believe is totally meant to enthrall the the fox news viewers and to keep their minds off of anything else that is happening and lord knows there's a lot going on

CHAPTER 03 / 35 Discussion

Kanye West VMA Incident as Media Distraction

The media's intense focus on Kanye West's interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards is characterized as a deliberate distraction from international financial instability. Claims are made that West appeared to be under "mind control" or heavily medicated during his subsequent appearance on Jay Leno. This narrative suggests the event was leveraged to keep the public from noticing more significant global events.

kanye west· taylor swift· vmas· mind control· project ultra· media distraction

05:01 Because this is of course how media... What's interesting to contrast it though, because the mainstream media idea of what to do to keep people from paying attention anything else is to do the Kanye West story. Yes exactly! So you have a battle of the bands as one says we can keep our people befuddled with this acorn thing oh yeah well watch this and let me tell ya Kanye West who is clearly, if you saw him on Jay Leno, a project ultra mind control freak. He's clearly doped up or they've got a chip embedded in his head or whatever. They made this poor guy to do this there is no doubt about it because what has been happening in the meantime... John, do you realize what horrible week its been international finance? Do you realize how dangerous this profession has become

CHAPTER 04 / 35 Discussion

High-Profile Financial Executive Suicides and CIA Financing

A series of high-profile suicides among financial executives occurred within a two-week span in September 2009. Notable deaths include Danny Pang, Christopher Kelly, Finn Casperson of Beneficial Corp, and James McDonald, CEO of the Rockefeller Corporation. Speculation arises that these individuals may have been involved in covert CIA financing operations and that their deaths signal an internal "war" within the intelligence and financial sectors.

danny pang· christopher kelly· finn casperson· james mcdonald· rockefeller corporation· cia

05:58 Well, we have more deaths in the family. Well I've counted them it started September 7th with Danny Pang I think we even mentioned him on our show around that date. Well he was the Madoff of Taiwan, right? Right well he has Israeli connections 42 by the way died at a hospital let's see... He was accused of a Ponzi scheme I'm trying to think, not sure if it was a suicide or not but of course you know he had a lot of legal problems so it probably was a suicide. Oh yeah absolutely. Then we move over to... Anytime anyone has legal problems that's what they do. Suicide! Yeah then we move over to the Chicago connection

06:48 where we have Blagojevich's guy, Christopher Kelly who overdosed on aspirin. He is 51. Then we have the money man on the East Coast Finn Casperson who suicided himself in Rhode Island he is of XCO of Beneficial Corp Which is, is that an insurance company? I think not. Beneficial finance. Right so whoops he killed himself and then of course the coup d'etat James McDonald who was the CEO of The Rockefeller Corporation He killed himself on Sunday

07:42 So within a span of two weeks we have all these huge financial guys killing themselves, killing themselves which leads me to believe that the war is now full on. This is because of course these guys if you ask me and I'm not going to talk about this too much because I really like my life. I believe these guys are all involved in financing CIA financing their a lot of their covert operations. In fact, gosh there was a fantastic article which of course was also and this is all the stuff that neither the quote mainstream but also Fox News doesn't really want you to hear Italy's former president Francesco Cossiga here's little quote from Italy's oldest and most widely read newspaper from just this past week

CHAPTER 05 / 35 Discussion

Francesco Cossiga Claims 9/11 Was a False Flag

Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga reportedly told a major Italian newspaper that international intelligence services are aware the September 11 attacks were a false flag operation. Cossiga alleged the attacks were planned by the Mossad with "Zionist" assistance to justify Western military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. This statement is used to support the theory of a deep-state conflict between the Obama administration and the CIA.

francesco cossiga· mossad· 9/11· false flag· zionist world order· italy

08:41 All of the intelligence services of America and Europe know very well that the disastrous attacks on 9-11 had been planned and realized from the Mossad with the aid of the Zionist world order to put under accusation the Arabic countries in order to induce the Western powers to take part in Iraq and Afghanistan. This guy just comes out says it in a newspaper, he says it was a false flag attack So there's all this stuff going on and you and I have kind of agreed that the Obama administration or maybe just Obama himself, I don't know. And the CIA somehow are at war. This is your theory yeah? Yeah but you said it yes my theory but you certainly didn't refute it You said there was something to Well I don't know But I mean I don't know either Of course neither Obama could be hip deep in all this I don't know either But I will say that in November I've already scheduled it I'm gonna go visit Uncle Don

CHAPTER 06 / 35 Discussion

Obama Administration Diplomatic Shifts and Israeli-Iran Tensions

President Obama has shifted U.S. foreign policy by canceling the planned anti-missile shield in Poland and settling a massive lawsuit against the Bank of New York Mellon involving Russian interests. These moves follow a secret visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Russia. There is growing concern that Israel is preparing a military strike against Iranian nuclear sites, potentially with or without U.S. coordination.

barack obama· benjamin netanyahu· russia· iran· missile defense· poland

09:35 and I'm just gonna ask him flat out. Oh, for the purposes of getting me a drinking trip to North Korea? That's... Is that the reason you're going? And also ask him hey Uncle Don is the CIA at war with the president could you just like lay it on me i'm not gonna tell you which day I'm gonna go because I'd like them to be alive by time I get there. I think his uh... I think he would be more aware of me. Make it a sneak trip! But there is stuff goin' on Obama is now really nuzzling up to the Russians all of a sudden. It's like, oh we're not going to do that anti-missile shield in Poland and then there was this huge Russian lawsuit for like 22 billion dollars against New York Mellon

10:28 All of a sudden that's been settled for it went from 22 billion dollars to 14 million So it was like the alt now they're all buddy-buddy and I think it has something to do with that visit that Netanyahu made To to medvedev the other day this secret visit that of course leaked out, and they know he copped to it what I believe is that Israel is truly planning an attack on Iran and the good guys I would have to say Obama is a part of the good guys in kind of in the way, in that way. I can't believe I'm saying it but... I can either. You know? I think that there's this Israeli

11:07 Or someone say Zionist, you know as the Italy's ex-president says. Zionists connection with the CIA and there is bad shit coming down dude! There has always been a connection between Mossad and the CIA I mean it is not like a big shocker No but we have this attempt or I assert that was an attempt And possibility does exist that you know...and I don't think this is a big shocker that Israel has its sights on Iran because they're sick of listening to these maniacs and they get this sneaking suspicion, they keep wanting a bomb Tel Aviv which would be a bad thing for the whole region by the way it would poison the whole region including the air so the idea doesn't really make any sense unless you are complete fool. Which is a possibility and you don't know that radiation will fall all over Mecca

CHAPTER 07 / 35 Discussion

Media Control and the Timing of News Cycles

The lack of coverage regarding the ACORN scandal by outlets like CBS, NBC, and ABC is attributed to top-down editorial control. While Fox News and Glenn Beck successfully campaigned against figures like Van Jones using YouTube footage, other networks have remained silent on the ACORN videos for over ten days. This disparity is framed as a failure of the mainstream press to acknowledge stories gaining traction in alternative media.

mainstream media· news cycle· fox news· glenn beck· van jones· censorship

11:59 Okay, but it's I somehow. I get this feeling like there's this global takeover you know of course that just me right? But there's just something really stinky going on and it's not being reported on. And instead of that, we've got Kanye fricking West and we've got the Acorn stuff... The fact that the other news outlets are not reporting on it means somewhere its controlled from above. Yeah, that sounds good in practice but I think there is a practical reason is that the mainstream news media first of all got flat-footed, they released these things on Friday and then there was a weekend where everybody... And you have to remember New York where the media is centered takes off at noon on Friday. Oh but John hold on a second these videos have been out for ten days now since the first one

12:53 The really was a start it really hit hard on Friday last Friday I mean does no one at CBS or NBC or ABC? It doesn't all Berman watch Fox just to complain about whatever O'Reilly said don't I watch that. I mean they they certainly picked up on Van Jones when when you know Glenn Beck plate started hitting that video of him from YouTube They picked up on that they didn't pick up on these other ones come on Well, you have a point. I mean it surprises me that Olbermann and Maddow haven't at least acknowledged the fact that this is going on. It has been a week at least. You claim ten days but I don't have the timeline unfortunately

Osama bin Laden Audio Tape and Reading List

A new audio recording attributed to Osama bin Laden was released, featuring a recommended reading list for the American public. The list reportedly includes "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. Skepticism is expressed regarding the authenticity of the tape and the reading list, with suggestions that the entire release might be a CIA-orchestrated "joke" or psychological operation.

13:37 Now it's like you look like an idiot if you do anything. I mean, you're putting yourself in a situation where... Essentially what happens is they put their hands up over their ears and they go, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no again here again here again here. Oh wait! And then of course there is always handy when shit really coming down and financiers are suiciding themselves. Here's a message from Bin Laden An audio tape, and I looked at all the news reports and i have all of the links in the show notes that noagendashow.com there's never a link to a website or how did they get this you know an audio what like a freaking cassette tape shows up? Apparently! What is it going to be on an iPod Ben Laden get your act together really get yourself an iRiver dude

14:26 It's like, how lame is that? How can we seriously believe that is still... Why not get a flip video player at least. So Mimi pointed out that Bin Laden... Do you know about Bin Laden's reading list this got some ink No I didn't know they found his reading lists but not his cave? A reading lists recommended reading for the American public Oh was this in his message Yeah, yes. One of the books is Confessions of an Economic Hitman. You stepped on my line. I'm sorry but that's really true? That was one of the books? Yeah! See here's the problem...I doubt seriously that Ben Laden is out there reading that much

CHAPTER 09 / 35 Discussion

SITE Intelligence Group and Terrorist Propaganda Monitoring

The SITE Intelligence Group, led by Rita Katz, is criticized for its role in translating and distributing terrorist propaganda to major news outlets like The New York Times. The organization's business model and the lack of publicly available raw audio for the Bin Laden tapes are questioned. The SITE website features "jihadist chatter" and manuals for improvised explosives, which are described as looking overly "slick" for their purported source.

15:13 And I in that particular book. Okay, just can't see him sitting down know that is a joke That is the CIA joke It's got to be it's a joke like a CIA joke It sounds like at some CIA if I was in the CIA I would do that gag cuz it's just hilarious What else was on the list this is interesting we should put this into an Amazon store Well, I mean we gotta get that's right. I should do the Amazon story have been laden's reading list is here it is. I've got it Okay One the Israel lobby and US foreign policy by Stephen M Walt to Palestine peace not apartheid Jimmy Carter

16:05 interesting sure Carter should be pleased his punch it's another day yeah exactly like hey dude let's do this one too that'll be funny and then there's the the apology of a hired killer Which, okay well and according to this article in the Times while there seems to be no book of that title and description at least one analyst suggested that could have been Bin Laden. Mr. bin laden could have meant confessions of an economic hitman so he didn't really name it by title Well you know what it could also be when these books go into foreign distribution they often change the title Oh they change the title? And The New York Times obviously didn't do enough research to see if that was true They don't have Google

16:52 But that sounds logical. That is funny that they put, they mess with Carter and they put the confession of economic hitman on a list but again I'm looking at as our colleague this New York Times as our colleague Mark McDonald reported on Sunday Mr Bin Laden apparently released a new audio tape how come i can't hear this audio tape? The guy's reading books in English but it's all in Arabic as audio tape, is that the deal? No I'm sure these books have all been translated to Arabic. The recording was reported and translated by the Sight Intelligence Group and Intel Center What's sight? S-I-T-E Hold on You know you think that New York Times would link to something Now they're linking to this...Sight Intelligence Group What is this about sight? This thing! This is crazy

17:48 This is probably another program getting 18 million dollars for their website. Rita Katz, the director and co-founder of the Site Intelligence Group has studied tracked and analyzed international terrorists the global jihadist network in terrorism financing for more than a decade since well before this is this is can I just say this is bogus? This is so bogus there's a bunch of spooks who've got to put together a blog they got what's their latest video who warning the following contains extremely graphic footage viewer just send me a link to that thing. It's site Intel group dot com. Shocking and gruesome images circulate each day on the internet in a well-coordinated propaganda war against the United States and its allies these sensationalized attacks are revered within the global... So they've got video of so called terrorists shooting people in the head but they can't put up the audio bin Laden

18:47 And they translated it. Why is that like secret? What's the website name again? Hold on, I'll send you the link on Skype-a-rooney. This is what The New York Times is doing their reporting with this multimedia hold on terrorism library oh this is mint! This is really good featured video site okay if anybody out there listening to Site Intel Group Yeah, what's their... S-I-T-E-I-N-T-L group dot com. It's not even .org you think it'd be .org don't ya? No man because it is a commercial enterprise but I don't understand why do they not have the audio of Bin Laden on their site if they... Right so independent translators could listen to it Bogus Training manuals Cool Terrorism Using RC toy v... this is like a terrorist site where you go learn

19:51 I'm telling you, using remote controlled toy vehicle parts for bombings. Two sets of instructions one a diagram and the other video to use mechanisms from inside a remote control toy vehicle for mode detonations were distributed together on jihadist forums on July 25th 2009 no link to the jihadists forums they show you that the plans? Yeah No Hold On Oh, log in. Tasca I need to register! Yeah i think not. Jihadist Chatter oh I love these this site is amazing oh jihadists chatter. I like the use of Ajax if you go and look at browse region click on a country it zooms in. Hold on... This is oh my god so this is what New York Times

20:42 You whoa it did zoom in didn't it yeah Yemen this chatter and Yemen y'all bogus It's just that is just so bogus. All right anyway, so there's one for you here wait There's two interesting regions do you know I'm gonna ask you where do you think where is whoops? He just backed up no There's something about the two of us surfing and everyone listening to it that is so incredibly wrong It just what do you think here's a place called gore? J-a-g-h-o-r. I guess it's in Afghanistan But needless to say no, there ain't no audio It's just bogus

21:31 Yeah, and it's also not slick in the slickest way that it could be. But it is a little too slick for what its supposed to be if you know what I mean It's in that kind of no man's land of slickness We should... You have Oprah's book club? This should be Osama's book club It would actually be cool if every month you recommended a couple of books. He could set up his own Amazon link and stuff, that'd be cool! Not a bad idea... Oh my goodness well I'm sorry but i'm not buying it

Obama's "Jackass" Comment and the Pool Recording

President Obama was caught on a "hot mic" calling Kanye West a "jackass" during an off-the-record portion of a CNBC interview. The recording, which was briefly posted on the CNBC website before being removed, captured the President's candid thoughts on the VMA incident. The discussion touches on whether the recording was an intentional leak or a breach of the traditional "pool" reporting agreement.

barack obama· kanye west· cnbc· jackass· hot mic· media pool

22:13 Well, yeah. So it's the CIA is behind all of this? It's correct. No I think Taylor Swift's dad Oh no no he's all a part of it He's... Of course! It's all a set up so you know Taylor Swift's dad who was a huge financier by the way no two to the head for him yet You know, so first of all he gets his kid to win the award and we all know that Kanye is right. Beyonce's video was better I mean no doubt about it Yeah but the whole thing looked rigged now including that publicity stunt got you know Kanye a lot of public publicity and also the Obama commentary why don't you play the Obama comment on the whole thing?

22:54 So this was a CNBC interview I believe. No, I think it was a bunch of press were in his Oval Office or someplace and he's shooting the shit you know being too casual with these people and they recorded it. This is the chat, the chat. It's like the crocodile and frog. That was really inappropriate! You know? I mean it's like she's getting an award what are you butting in her? I hear ya, I agree with ya. Does that count as the first question? That lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. And by the way, her dad gave me a lot of money for my campaign. What is he doing up there? He's a jackass! No no... All this stuff... I'm assuming all this stuff... Where is the pool?!

23:48 He says, where's the pool? Did you hear that? Yeah. So that means he's talking about the pool recording because there is only one recorder running at that moment but I think this was someone's independent recording. Come on guys! What? I think it may be an independent recording. Yeah, and i think it was on CNBC's website they pulled it off since then that's what I heard at least Cut the president some slack I got a lot of other stuff on my plate Cause I remember last time there was the fly thing That worked out well for you You were a ninja Except PETA And Reggie has the bottom release in about 7 minutes You got the chopsticks this time?

CHAPTER 11 / 35 Discussion

Jay-Z, Illuminati Symbolism, and Taylor Swift Awards

Speculation regarding Illuminati and Freemason symbolism in the music industry focuses on Jay-Z's use of hand signs. The discussion suggests that major pop stars like Taylor Swift are part of a highly manufactured system, evidenced by the sheer volume of awards and citations Swift has received in a short period. This is framed as part of a broader "New World Order" influence within entertainment.

jay-z· illuminati· freemasonry· taylor swift· music industry· symbolism

24:34 So how come whenever he's interviewed, why isn't he like that? Whenever he is on a real interview. Why isn't he like that? Because they burn it and here's the deal I still wonder why is he watching the TV show Doesn't he have other things to do with his time than watch a... I mean it's not like an important thing to watch. Does he also watch Big Brother? And Leno, of course! Of course he did. He has to have his finger on the pulse of the nation This is a waste of the president's time He had to watch because he had to see if the whole trick was pulled off or not Like they needed something that cover up all of the assassination. I'm sorry suicides and And this was programmed Jay-z who by the way has nothing but New World Order Illuminati signs all over his albums and videos You know whether you hold up your hands like that in the illuminati symbol have you seen that?

25:31 No. It's like if you hold your hand up and your index fingers and your thumbs touch each other, it's like total Freemason Illuminati type stuff so he is in on it and duh I mean he's only one of the most successful producers of our time And they've got poor Kanye injected with something so that he's dumb and does whatever they tell him to do. And then they've got Taylor Swift's dad who says, honey now go out there and if anything happens don't say anything just wait for them to cut to something else. They flip the switch on Kanye, he goes out there and says something stupid which by the way who cares?

26:17 Well, you know by the way I was looking for this for the clips of them doing this and I ran to a listing on YouTube of all the different clips where Taylor Swift has won some award or other. And I hope one of our producers has time to do this document The number of awards, citations keys to the city and other crazy things that this woman has won. There's dozens and dozens and dozens from every sort of weird operation you've never heard of oh performer of the decade greatest upcoming star this that and the other thing it's astonishing how many awards this girl has won yeah but she's awesome

David Plouffe Speaking Engagement in The Netherlands

David Plouffe, the strategist behind Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, is appearing as a keynote speaker at an advertising association event in The Hague. Tickets for the event are priced at 450 euros, with table sponsorships reaching 9,000 euros. The high cost and Plouffe's transition to the international speaking circuit while still potentially advising the administration are noted as "creepy."

27:02 She's awesome. Don't you mess with Taylor! I gotta pick up that old clip with the doo-doo-doo-doo-doo... She is so awesome. Hey, you know what? I just wanted to mention something. I'm here in Gitmo Nation East and reading The Telegraph which is the toilet paper of the daily toilet paper here in the Netherlands and there's this huge ad from the Bont van Otter theaters, which is the Advertising association who exists 90 years this year on October 1st. You can spend 450 euros Which I think is about eight thousand dollars And you can witness a speech and here's his picture and I'm talking like a quarter page with above his head Yes we can David Plouffe

27:50 The strategist behind the successful and innovative campaign for Barack Obama will be giving a speech for 450 euros. You can witness it It's really weird John, it's eerie this guy is on the speaking circuit Wow David Plouffe isn't he still apart of the campaign? I thought he was but maybe not. Maybe, I thought he was still in the Oval Office and giving advice Well, I wonder how many people are... what size auditorium they're gonna use We should do a calculation on what he's going to make It's the RAC Hall in The Hague I don't know how big that is Oh you could... we could actually sponsor a table John for 9000 euros That's like a million dollars Yeah but you get nine people to sit But this isn't an advertising conference

28:39 It's creepy. I'll bring it with me, it's creepy Yeah sounds creepy yeah bring it with you we can just scan it in So anyway so obviously I'm going off a little bit on tangent about the Obama CIA war but We do agree on one thing that is very clear that the media does not want you to hear anything but Kanye West and Acorn hooker videos That's all they got going for him. And where is Olbermann? Isn't he supposed to be... Olbermann is a lost cause He can do, I know he can't, he isn't doing Kanye, he has something going for him. He has gotta have something happening. I was watching it the other day and there wasn't anything, nothing, he wasn't funny

Glenn Beck's Rise and Media Targeting

Glenn Beck's rapid ascent from a mid-day radio host to a central figure at Fox News is analyzed. The mainstream media, particularly Keith Olbermann, is criticized for obsessively targeting Beck, which has only increased his profile. There is a suggestion that Beck is being positioned as a "lightning rod" for public anger, potentially putting him at physical risk.

glenn beck· fox news· keith olbermann· msnbc· media criticism

29:30 He had his worst person of the year, or of the day. None of it was interesting just mild slams he's bringing... The Glenn Beck phenomenon by the way I want to discuss for a second this guy was beyond and also ran radio talk show host running in the midday on one of the networks. And by the way mid days you don't want to be there because that's really no money to be made in mid-day and radio Right. And he was more of a comic than anything, and it was very funny. He did a lot of voices and impressions and you know...he does a lot of dialects in these things. No, but he's still funny! It's still funny when he does his crying stuff. It's still funny to watch. But if you heard him on the radio it is even funnier because you realize what an act that is.

30:24 Anyway, he went from that and but he never showed any to me when I listened him. I couldn't really listen to him for long He wasn't like riveting it wasn't like an intellectual. It was his material was only it was very shallow and often which is knee-jerk George Bush's great stuff Which is a gets on anybody's nerves And so then all of a sudden they move him into Fox. Actually, I think he started at MSNBC and then moved into Fox from there or something like that. If i'm not mistaken that was the timeline. He wasn't much... He didn't blow up... He was on CNN and then he went to Fox. Oh, CNN! That's right. He didn't blow the doors off the place. So they move him to Fox and obviously has writers now. Good ones.

31:10 Yeah, in fact sometimes when he goes to that blackboard and he's talking you can read along on the prompter on the camera On the right hand side. You can actually read along with him Oh, that's well they yeah He was a blackboard starts down And by the way, if he ever says if he ever starts complaining about the president reading teleprompter We have to call him a hypocrite. Okay good point So anyway, he yeah, he's a prompter boy so Now all of a sudden he's getting a league. He is like there's a focus of attention on him and not only by the Mainstream media they keep bringing his name up all the time Glenn Beck Glenn back then back

31:47 And also Fox itself is like pushing, it's almost as though if anybody's gonna get shot. Oh yeah! He's gonna get shot... I was just about to say that would be the ultimate when something really bad happens, when Glenn Beck goes down and God hope it doesn't happen of course thats horrible but if something happens we'd rather be entertained by his wife than him dead. Yeah please what are we going to do for entertainment? Then you know that Israel has their planes in the air and they're nearing Tehran. Then you'll really know that it's happening. In the chatroom, by the way at noagendachat.com they're saying here is CNN. CNN has the grad student who's been arrested in Yale student killing. Oh yeah! That's another kind of...that's kind of a CNN get your attention story. Right

CHAPTER 14 / 35 Discussion

Yale Student Murder and Media Distraction Tactics

CNN's focus on the arrest of a suspect in the killing of a Yale graduate student is categorized as a "get your attention" story designed to overshadow geopolitical news. The murder is described as a "lovers' quarrel" that is being sensationalized because it contains elements of sex and intrigue. This is contrasted with the lack of coverage for Obama's new missile defense plans.

yale university· annie le· cnn· media coverage· distraction

32:39 Yeah, it's a lovers quarrel of some sort. This girl is going to marry somebody else and this guy got pissed and killed her. End of story! But it has love in it...and sex..an intrigue. So I'm looking at latest news from CNN Obama announces new missile defense plan which he's pulling out of Poland Yeah, that's the new plan. Yeah, that's the new plan. Makes it sound like he is going to put missiles somewhere About halfway down... Is Glenn Beck bad for America? That's a time... Yeah there we go. Yeah no they're targeting him I mean there is no reason for all these articles about Glenn Beck He hasn't done anything that interesting And Olbermann you know constantly talking about Glenn Beck Like they should get a room It just unbelievable

33:28 That how much attention the eye of the blue by the way this only is over the last year nobody knew who Glenn Beck was two years ago. Right, because there's real stuff happening John it has to be covered up when will people realize that and of course there is actual reporting going on from time to time it just doesn't catch you know...the people who control the media who run at all like GE runs NBC MSNBC CNBC and then of course there's Fox and I think these guys they'll drink together they've got the same agenda You know, it's like we gotta get people talking about something but it can't be the real news. In fact let's do one ourselves. Oops sorry I didn't mean to do that one. That was a wrong one. Good enough! And now back to Real News. Yes John? Well I'm gonna beat you this time. You're missing out on the big news in the UK No I haven't...I bet its the same one

CHAPTER 15 / 35 Discussion

UK Trade Union Proposal to Ban High Heels

A UK trade union representative at the Trade Union Congress proposed a ban on high heels in the workplace, calling them "symbolic of the sexual subjugation of women." The proposal argues that stilettos are worn to satisfy male fantasies and are detrimental to women's health. The hosts debate the sociological implications and the lack of specific attribution in the Reuters report on the matter.

high heels· stilettos· uk trade union congress· sexism· workplace safety

34:28 They're gonna ban high heels. Stiletto heels, yes! We have the same story! Now here's the one that gets me about this... High-heeled stilettos being banned? Yeah well all high heels actually and the news media just pointed out stilettos because they think it's funny but here's the thing somebody was quoted as saying the following and they won't say who it is maybe if they did in some story I couldn't find it But it was a union representative saying that shoes are demeaning or are demeaning and symbolic of the sexual subjugation of women. And their health to satisfy male whims and fantasies. Yeah, I want to take issue with this mainly because

35:15 Well, because you know over the years one of the things I always like to do and if anyone listens to the Tech 5 little five minute news rundown that I do every day they'll know that I'm always doing this which is finding contradictory headlines about the same subject. And I've always reminded them how the stock markets dealt with it. If let's say General Motors came out with a neutral report and the stock market went up a hundred points, you will see headlines that stock market goes up by 100 points based on General Motors neutral report. Or stock market goes up 100 points despite General Motors neutral reports so you have these two angles You could just as easily with this high heel story take the opposite approach and say they should be banned because their symbolic of sexual teasing

36:04 and sexual harassment of males by, you know... and go on in that direction. Yeah! It makes just as much sense because let's face it nobody is in the work room saying wow look at that girl in her high heels lemme go fuck her but they're not doing that. Whoa John first of all I would not allow you to publish that headline except punch you in the mouth because we want to keep stilettos on high heels we think its a fine development. I'm just saying that anybody who takes a tact In terms of what is behind it sociologically, you can take the opposite tact and have just as much logic as you did with the other tact. So this was the trade union and this was apparently set at the Trade Union Congress?

36:53 But you're right, no attribution. But it is a... isn't it a Reuters story? I'm reading from a Reuters. Yeah, I got it from Reuters too so who knows maybe that Reuters has an inside job and because somebody at Reuters is annoyed with high heels we had somebody over at Mevio the other day trying to wear high heels she almost killed herself Who was that? I'm not gonna say Cooper Who was it? Come on man, you gotta tell me. No! You're killing me now Was it a guy? Yeah that's who I can't say Oh my goodness yeah I like that we both had the same real news story That's really good and so while were on Reuters just to back up what I'm saying here

Israel Threatens Strike on Iran Nuclear Sites

A former Israeli deputy defense minister stated that Israel will be "compelled" to attack Iran's nuclear sites if Western powers do not implement "crippling sanctions" by the end of 2009. This report from Reuters is highlighted as a critical story that is being ignored by mainstream media in favor of celebrity gossip. The potential for a regional conflict is presented as a high-stakes deadline.

37:38 released on Wednesday September 16th Reuters Israel will be compelled to attack Iran's nuclear sites if Western powers cannot agree crippling sanctions against Tehran by the end of the year a former Israeli deputy defense minister said on Wednesday You know, I would say that's kind of little more important than Kanye West wouldn't you? Yeah, it's pretty bad. There should be like all over the place what yeah, I'm just saying you know But oh this interesting it will be a blood they're going to use a bloodless strategy, okay? Is that me well snake is gonna stick in a gas everybody and they'll all be dead bleeding And meanwhile and this is the thing that that tripped me out We have the August report of Let me just get it. I didn't know this thing was Was released to the general public turned on your Mickey

CHAPTER 17 / 35 Discussion

National Intelligence Strategy and the New Axis of Evil

The August 2009 National Intelligence Strategy, published by Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, identifies Iran, North Korea, and Russia as primary challenges to U.S. interests. Despite the Obama administration's diplomatic overtures, the document classifies Russia as a complicating factor due to its efforts to reassert power. The strategy also emphasizes "emerging" threats such as cyber operations alongside traditional military force.

dennis blair· national intelligence strategy· russia· north korea· iran· cyber operations

38:40 We have, it's called the National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America for August 2009 and I'm reading it. This is published by Dennis C Blair director of national intelligence and so right here the strategic environment Page... what is this? Well, it's essentially after all the preamble. It's the first page even though it's page 7 A number of nation states have the ability to challenge US interests in traditional and emerging ways Traditional being military force and espionage and emerging being cyber operations

39:21 So this is basically your axis of evil. And we have Iran, of course, posing an array of challenges to US security We have North Korea continues to threaten peace and security in East Asia. And we have Russia now added to the list. Russia is a US partner in important initiatives such as securing fissile material and combating nuclear terrorism, but it may continue to seek avenues for reasserting power and influence in ways that complicate U.S interests But this is the axis of evil list! It seems like Russia who Obama has completely sucken up too

40:06 It seems like Russia is now on the list. Yeah, you know I'm always suspicious about anything we do with Russia mainly because... They're Russian? No! No, no, not. And it's because I always get this sneaking suspicion that there are all these behind-the-scenes deals going on where they say you know if you guys look why don't just make us look like the bad guy for a minute cause we want to do this over here and then what's gonna happen and then your gonna do this but then were gonna do this and then we'll do this it's just like you know that the whole thing is a giant scam. Well this is, so you actually helped me with my point this is exactly what I'm saying is happening this is why despite this August report of course we're into September President Obama has now pulling or pulling the whole plan for the missiles in Poland Russia then settles this 22 billion dollar lawsuit with American Mellon Bank for 14 million oops were kinda done there and all this stuff is happening right after

41:04 Netanyahu, who by the way is kind of a frightening guy. he's been involved in some weird shit and his dad was like some super military commander, I don't know if it was his brother or remember there was some politician they tried to kill with an injection to the neck. He was involved in that. I mean Netanyahu has got a color patch. Yeah, he is one of those guys you think takes a potato peeler out and gouges out an eye It's kind of think you should you think I Thought that was Rahman Manuel who did that? Could be too really. I'm mistaken Let's do another one here clips John because we're so loaded on him now, let's see here Let me go back to the list and he actually closed it You want a new one so we you know if we received a lot of mail since our last program about Bill Maher and

CHAPTER 18 / 35 Discussion

Jimmy Carter Claims Obama Opposition is Rooted in Racism

Former President Jimmy Carter stated that an "overwhelming portion" of the animosity toward President Obama is based on his race. Carter suggested that many white Americans believe African Americans are not qualified to lead the country. This claim is countered by footage from a Tea Party protest in Washington D.C., where the crowd's chants focused on abortion, taxes, and freedom rather than racial issues.

jimmy carter· barack obama· racism· tea party· washington dc

42:01 Yeah, hold on a second. I'm just saying that you know I took offense to some of the things he was doing and saying and You went back and watched the most recent program of course so the next one will be this coming Friday And the thing that I took most offense to is I feel that he says I just don't agree with The general comment which seems to be a meme now, which is if you don't agree with Obama You're a racist. Yeah, which is another distraction another what? Of course right let's do the topper for that by the way you can play the clip as Jimmy Carter He must have played that one looking I was just gonna say because that was the most recent most recent News about this that was released. I think An overwhelming portion

42:52 of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man. And I think it's bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country that African Americans are not qualified to lead this great country So, that just blows me away. This is a guy who's from what I can tell he's projecting nobody is thinking along these lines this is bull I mean yeah there's always a few racists out there but it's not like everybody is which is what he's implying in fact this um... amateur footage some kid kind of dressed up like a reporter which is kinda cute took his camera out to the uh... Washington DC tea bagger party

43:42 which also of course wasn't covered by anyone but Fox News and I'm just going to play like the 15 or 20 seconds, just listen to the crowds and what they're chanting. And by the way it's not we hate the black man in the White House that's not what it is Just listen to what...and its not even about Obama's health care USA! USA! Abortion is a greater evil than taxing abortion. They're abortion? But if we do not repent, will we not be judged? Have we already been warned 9-11 was our warning! Repent! 9-11? It's murder! It's murder! It's murder! Murder! Murder! Murder! So actually pro black... Yeah I know what you mean yeah I saw that one more one more Freedom We want freedom

Bill Maher Accuses Matt Drudge of Subliminal Racism

On his HBO show, Bill Maher accused Matt Drudge of using "subliminally racist" headlines on the Drudge Report. Maher cited examples such as "Obama negs rise" and "Ho in the Garden" (referring to Michelle Obama's garden) as evidence of racial bias. The hosts critique Maher's audience for laughing at the jokes while simultaneously condemning the alleged racism, calling them hypocrites.

bill maher· matt drudge· drudge report· racism· hbo· political satire

44:45 It's nothing about that. It's crap, it's just horse crap! Yeah no the whole but dude the one that was bad and in that same clip which you can see on the blog at devorek.org slash blog by the way is the woman who was grilled about... there were a bunch of signs printed up in Obama style saying bury Obamacare with Kennedy. And someone was asked about it, what do you think the family thinks about that woman? I guess they probably wouldn't think much of it. But anyway Mara went on with this thing about racism and then he managed to do a couple things that were just abhorrent. One, he took... Drudge apparently had a series of headlines that were puns

45:30 that had, if you were looking for it you'd find a racial overtone. But they were meant to be I think...I don't know if there was...they weren't funny because Drudge isn't a funny guy but they're you know... What was the first one he showed? Because he showed the first one and... Yeah! I got him all here as you can find it's Obama's negs go up Oh that's what it was yeah And so I see we've read Mara reads negs it into as Negro is this is this drudge clip should I play that one? Yeah, I played the dredge clips. Let me set it up the thing that's interesting

46:05 you can say, well this is just terrible that people are doing this. This is so terrible and then you laugh at it because you actually think its hilarious! And the audience goes nuts with these jokes. Yeah because the audience apparently is racist. It's a bunch of hypocrites I've never seen anything like it. We're going to get to that but I just want to show what I mean by subliminally racist. So he's claiming The Drudge is subliminally racist and doing it on purpose. Picture from This is from The Drudge report Okay, we're not making this up. That's for real Obama negs rise is that negatives short for negatives But you know what? I just think for a certain number of people when they see negs rise John when you saw that What did you think cuz I saw I saw this and I was like it took me 15 seconds before I and then III actually it wasn't until he said it that I actually got It did you get it immediately

47:03 Yeah. I didn't. Now look at some of the other ones we found Obama meets old white man, come on! What was that one? That was when he won the election, says Obama beats old white man. Right... that actually I thought was pretty funny This is him with Joe Biden's mother Obama embraces Joe mama Yeah.. now he was getting down low And this is Michelle! Oh look at that! And that was Ho in the Garden? Ho in the Garden and that got the biggest laugh in the school

47:45 Oh, this is pointing out how racist. This sounds like the most racist audience of them all! And then he produces and you find the next clip for this is a Maher's Obama entrance. Maher joking about the racism produces this clip they produced it in-house and it's you can play it. Obama but then you know the other day Wednesday I was watching his state is not a State of the Union speech, but his speech before the joint session on Congress and i noticed something about his entrance play that tape like I see what they're talking about now. Madam Speaker! The President of the United States! Which by the way was stolen from our joke

Bill Maher's Ageist Comments and Sarah Palin

Bill Maher is criticized for "ageist" remarks made during a segment about Sarah Palin and "death panels." Maher stated that if the government were getting rid of "useless people," Palin would be the first to die, which the hosts interpret as an underlying belief that the elderly are useless. Maher is described as a "mean-spirited" and "deplorable" person for his consistent targeting of seniors.

bill maher· sarah palin· ageism· death panels· healthcare reform

48:38 John yeah, we already made this joke like you should do his entrance like a boxer. Yeah which is what they did and That was our job racist well if anybody's are racists as Maher to produce this stuff He's also an incredible it bugs me about him more than anything else if he's an unbelievable ageist Yeah, he does a lot of that too. He does a lot of ageist jokes. The old man is old! On that show he did the thing with going on 60 Minutes with seniors but the interesting thing is... ...He gives himself away as to how much of an ageist he really is and how much he hates his mom or something. How much he hates old people because I got a lot of clips here but I'll play this one which is most indicative

49:26 He goes after Sarah Palin and I'm gonna deconstruct it after you play it. Okay, yeah, I know this one. He said you lie! I am not going to kill old people The next day Sarah Palin on her Facebook page said You know what? She still believes in death panels. You know what Sarah honey if we were going to get rid of useless people you would be the first to die So he's done there is that he has equated old people and the death panels with USELESS people Oh yeah, very good. If you deconstruct that... if you deconstruct what he just did He is saying essentially, he doesn't even know he's saying it but its in his brain That old people are useless

50:13 And I think this guy is the scum of the earth. We got a bunch of letters from people defending him and how funny he is, and I have found him to be a deplorable mean-spirited creepy person that I really don't... That's why didn't want watch the show did to get these clips because if every...I can watch any one of these shows and find this sort of thing Maher, you know being an ageist a racist is sexist and everything in between it's borderline disgusting. He is a jackass In fact its subliminal if anything he is subliminal about that stuff And you're right the ages stuff gets me from time to time as well I know you don't have the clip but I don't know if you saw Kathy Griffith come on Did you see that part of the panel? Oh yeah I got it How many African-Americans does he actually have on his show

CHAPTER 21 / 35 Discussion

Kathy Griffin and Bill Maher on Global Warming Skepticism

Comedian Kathy Griffin appeared on Bill Maher's program to discuss the rise of global warming skepticism among young people. During the segment, a sarcastic remark by Maher about Democrats ruining the economy was taken literally by Griffin, causing the joke to fail. The hosts also dispute Maher's claim that California wildfires are caused by global warming, arguing instead that a cooler, drier climate is the cause.

kathy griffin· bill maher· global warming· climate change· hbo

51:04 what's his ratio of black to white? What is his ratio, you know. I've seen a black person on the show so yeah from time-to-time... Yeah but then Kathy Griffith comes on and she's backing it up like oh yes racism all over the place and your right it's just another thing for everyone to talk about And if she's making a pass at what's his name that writer or ex government guy can't remember his name that was on the show Dick Richard Clark Richard Clark and so she's making a pass at him, and it's all kind of there's more More jokes more old dick jokes. Yeah yeah old dick jokes And you know she's been there can Clark is an idiot So he's like winking at her and It did the whole thing was detestable and she's she is really a dummy and to point this out I'm going to have one more clip we're gonna play okay

52:01 I'm gonna set this one up. This is a, this is actually funny... One of the funniest scenes in the movie In the play! Let's just call it The Play It's all setup Of course it is This should be the Mara joke falls flat Okay Mara setting up a gag and uh And meanwhile, well actually no this is a different one. Mara is going to be sarcastic in response to the big debate about global warming. Oh global warming! So Cathy Griffin comes in asking a semi-serious question and Mar throws a sarcastic remark at her that you know she says who... I'm gonna give you some of it but you'd have to listen to appreciate it

52:46 She's asked what's causing this and then Maher sarcastically says well, it's the Democrats so they can ruin the economy Mocking what some right-wingers might say She takes his comments seriously. It goes flies over her head, she's a comic by the way, flies over her head about a mile and Mara tries to recover but the whole thing falls apart you can hear Mara go buh-buh-buh-buh and but the whole thing falls apart because everybody gets into the fray it is one of the funniest little scenes I saw on the show People are more skeptical of global warming now than they were 10 years ago, especially young people. This is really scary. Young people in great numbers think it's a hoax. Then who was behind the hoax? Who was behind the lie? Democrats to make sure our economy fails. Then how do we change it? Is that corporate mentality? I mean who has perpetuated this notion that global warming is false?

53:42 The people, well I think it's... A small number of skeptics who get disproportionate coverage on the media. And some industries that don't want to be regulated and you know she tries to get it but they all step all over him and the joke is lost. I think it was that same show that he said, California is in flames because of global warming! You know nothing about climate jackass It's actually because of a cooler climate that has made California extremely dry. It is exactly the opposite And that to me, that's like huge disinformation right there. Anyway we will continue to watch the show because it irritates us and that is a form of... Come on man! That's a form of entertainment. Here play the Maurer-McCain P joke. It's a little ageist material here. Where is it?

La Toya Jackson Claims Michael Jackson Was Murdered

Appearing on "The View," La Toya Jackson reiterated her belief that her brother Michael Jackson was murdered for his valuable music publishing catalog. The catalog includes a majority of the Beatles' songs, which were recently released in digital format and for the "Rock Band" video game. The discussion suggests that the entertainment industry and concert promoters like AEG had significant financial motives for Jackson's death, including insurance payouts.

la toya jackson· michael jackson· the view· beatles catalog· sony/atv· homicide

54:44 On the bright side, on balance actually Obama's speech went over well. It was interrupted 47 times for applause and three times so John McCain could take a pee. Yeah more ageism. So meanwhile... And actually by the way as a follow-up of that he does mumble it. He is old! Meanwhile I was watching some other television and let me preface this by saying that i have met LaToya Jackson several times and although she is a without a doubt deemed by uh... by most who have never met her as the wacky jackson like there could be such a thing but she's the crazy one sheet and she lived in new york city for long time she's to come up to the radio station a lot you know she'd she can ever really get a career going that well it she's actually a battered woman she was in a horrible relationship this guy was beaten her up and

55:40 and this actually I of course have not spoken to her in a while but she was on Big brother in the UK on the celebrity big brother and I think the whole country at that point Said wow, you know She's actually pretty freaking normal and she's very nice And she's very proper and very correct and she takes care of herself and she wants to eat properly But when you speak with this woman? And I've met her like four or five times. She and everyone always laughs at me when I say hey You know what? She's actually like kind of freaking normal So she's on The View and she of course backs up what I said from day one about her brother's death. And i just want you to listen to a little bit of this. Yes, I felt that it was homicidal he had been murdered yes absolutely

56:28 And when I asked about the doctors of the people who were aiding him and mentioned Dr. Conrad Murray, you said something went wrong, something went wrong? Yeah? Yes Has there been any reaction from him or from anyone else No actually I have not heard from Dr. Conrad Murray neither has anyone in my family heard from him yet either but of course I've heard from other people regarding the interview So here comes the smart question from Joy Do you think it was deliberate You know, I don't know. Okay so now i'm going to fast forward to the end of the interview and she's going to tell you why she believes he was killed and then i'm going to deconstruct that. He said there are so many things circling this thing and you're absolutely right about that that will be

57:14 Who knows, perhaps he was just the fall guy but this happened. This took place it did not have to happen yet it did and you must understand that Michael continuously told me Latoya if I died I'm gonna be killed they're gonna kill me over my catalog over my publishing and he was afraid of that okay Over his catalog over is publishing what just happened last week in San Francisco John? What was one of the main entertainment events of the year Acorn. No, the Beatles catalog was released and this is a huge deal who owns a majority of the Beatles catalogue John? Michael Jackson

57:58 So if you don't think that there are people who will off you for a dime bag, if you don't think that there are scumbags and I'm looking at you entertainment industry who won't off a guy like Michael Jackson to finally get The Beatles music released in digital form and in rock band which could be hundreds of millions of dollars for an industry that is in dire straits then your nuts. then you are absolutely nuts and by the way let's just put together a nice little documentary we're gonna have a movie out in two weeks, his music has been selling like crazy he is worth more dead than he was alive less hassle and if you think that isn't possible... Less hassle AND there is insurance. Oh! And all the concerts were insured look into AEG which was the concert promoter they were completely

58:55 Up to the, up to the hilt. So good on you LaToya! Good on ya! Yeah well she's probably gonna get beat-up after this show so... That's not even funny I know it's not that's that's the point That's not nice Alright let's see what else we got here Wait wait wait I do have to do my kudos I want to make, we should reiterate. People who listen to the show know that we actually pick up on trends a little before the mainstream or Fox or anybody else because we don't do a lot of stories but the ones we do kind of do thoughtfully and we also

Media Dismissal of Early Michael Jackson Homicide Theories

A host recounts being dismissed by MSNBC producers after suggesting on-air that Michael Jackson's death should be investigated as a homicide. Despite the theory later gaining mainstream traction and being supported by the Jackson family, the network reportedly never followed up or gave credit for the early assessment. This is cited as an example of why the "No Agenda" show relies on listener support rather than traditional media validation.

msnbc· michael jackson· homicide· media bias· journalism

59:38 Seem to see the these things happening you were on what was it CNN? When was it MSNBC, you're on msnbc and you said it was a homicide Yeah or suspected. It should be looked into as a homicide and they threw you off the air They never called me back. They never emailed me I think I even sent the producer an email saying hey by the way You know now that this is this was a couple weeks later So, you know, by the way, I was the first one who said this on the air no reply Yeah, and you were. But you're not going to get any credit for it except on our little show which needs public support It's a little too early to go into the begging for money You think? On my timer we've been on an hour No well so that's a little early My timer I still got plenty of white left on the blue line Okay I'm not quite ready for it I appreciate it though

NASA CARE Project and Geoengineering Experiments

NASA and the U.S. Navy are conducting the Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE), which involves launching rockets to create artificial clouds of aluminum oxide dust in the upper atmosphere. While officially intended to study the ionosphere, the project is linked to controversial "geoengineering" theories aimed at blocking sunlight to combat global warming. Concerns are raised about the long-term environmental impact of these particles returning to Earth.

nasa· care project· geoengineering· aluminum oxide· atmospheric testing

1:00:32 Because I still wanted to talk about the massive atmospheric tests the Navy is about to conduct or could be conducting as we speak. As NASA is shooting off rockets to create artificial clouds in the outermost layers of Earth's atmosphere, it's called the CARE project, Charged Aerosol Release Experiment And they're literally creating a cloud of artificial dust over the earth. Why would they want to do this? This is what happens when a volcano goes off and kills everybody in the world! It's aluminium oxide, dust particles that they'll be spreading

1:01:18 And I, well of course this is like maybe we can stop global warming. No no it just can't be about that. Okay! You think so? All the links... Let me tell you this, I was at an event and there was a guy from NASA even though nobody from NASA seems to know who he was who went off with his half-baked theory about putting up all these crazy satellites that would then open up these huge panels and block the sun It's not like Montgomery Burns in a Simpsons episode. That's funny! And he was going to block the sun and there are a bunch of people typically in the audience nodding their heads in agreement... Yeah, good idea! This guy is criminally insane and should be taken out now Well it gets worse Tomorrow Friday NASA will launch A spectacular mission To bomb the moon

1:02:15 This is not science fiction. It's about time we get a bomb to the moon so they can bomb the spot where we didn't land The L-Cross mission will blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida carrying a missile that will blast a hole in the lunar surface at twice the speed of a bullet and... How fast does a bullet go? I don't know. That bullet goes about Mach 1.5, maybe? So space scientists want to see if any water ice or vapor is revealed in the clouds of the debris you know what it's just not a good idea to be shooting at the moon it just doesn't... You know the old saying shoot for the moon son well they're doing it but

1:03:00 But this creating clouds, it's all part of geoengineering and we haven't actually talked about this but there are a lot of these kooky things like the expand the panels. There has been talk of trying to push the earth and move our orbit a little bit. This is dangerous and crazy thinking! This is not a good idea. But spewing aluminium oxide into the atmosphere or even if it's above the atmosphere, it just doesn't seem like a good idea. They'll be tracking the dust cloud for days or even months to study its behavior. Well maybe years of this thing... How is that going to come down? It's not going to rain! There's no rain that's gonna take it out. Where how's it gonna dissipate?!

1:03:45 Let me see what they say. The US Navy, NASA and the US Defense Department... Ooh! What are they doing in this? ...have made a decision to conduct one or more atmospheric tests in order to create an aluminium oxide dust cloud without permission for the most part of knowledge of citizens of United States Eventually they say the oxide particles will return to earth polluting air water soil They don't say that How are we going to return to earth? I do not know Well let's see how high up it is going We gotta find out, well if it's kind of like in that layer where the Concorde used to fly I guess eventually it will come down to Earth. Hmm...I don't like it!

Cloud Busting and Orgone Energy Interest

Interest is expressed in "cloud busting" and the theories of Wilhelm Reich regarding Orgone energy. One host has joined a closed Yahoo Group dedicated to building cloud busters and discusses the improved technology that no longer requires a large body of water. There is a humorous exchange about setting up a cloud buster in a backyard to manipulate local weather patterns.

cloud buster· orgone energy· wilhelm reich· yahoo groups· weather modification

1:04:40 No, I don't like this sort of experimentation with the...I think the United Nations should correct it. Where are they in these pictures? This is an international situation! In other words people in France and by the way I want to thank the people from around the world who gave us money but the people around the world why should there be an aluminum cloud floating over their country? Yeah thanks NASA It's really, I think there is a treaty violation here. You can't just throw crap in the air like that you know unnaturally and then just because you think it's fun experiment. Speaking of experiments John i have to thank you profusely for reigniting my vigor and interest in Orgone Oh no! Do you have any backyard I could use? Because I got a cloud buster on putting together baby

1:05:36 You can put it off, you can put it... I would like to take some of the no agenda money. It's quite possible that the government will come over and take us both away. But yeah build a cloud buster we'll talk about it later. I'd love too! I mean I am now a member of the closed Yahoo Cloud Buster group and oh man there is all... Oh you got into the closed Yahoo Group? Yeah, there's a lot of interesting stuff on there. Did somebody write you and invite you in how did that happen Well, you had to sign up and then there's a little exchange about why you want to be in the... What do you want? You know. What do you want to get out of the group? What are you going to contribute? And I just kept it really simple like hey man! I just wanted build a cloud buster but there is a lot interesting stuff going on. A lot about... Okay, you're in. I guess you don't have click through bridges that much secret society. No, listen no agenda. They are like yeah we need him. We really need this dude

CHAPTER 26 / 35 Discussion

Apps.gov and Federal Cloud Computing Security Risks

The federal government has launched Apps.gov, a storefront for cloud computing services led by Federal CIO Vivek Kundra. The initiative aims to centralize IT infrastructure, but critics warn of massive security risks involving sensitive data like Social Security numbers and tax records. A previous security breach in Virginia involving Kundra's associates is cited as a warning of potential future fiascos in government cloud adoption.

1:06:34 I also found another fantastic site, John. Which... Oh by the way you can't do a Cloudbuster in my backyard because you need a body of water! The cloud buster that i have the plans for doesn't.. You don't need it It's very small. You don't need a huge body of water They've improved the technology. Like a cup of buttermilk Please go to apps dot gov john this will really irk you This is another fine Find initiative from our friend Vivek Kundra, the Federal Cloud Computing Services. Apps dot gov. Please have a look you will love it and I'll play a bit of the video

1:07:22 Computers and software are now a part of everyday life. We use email, set up websites and some of us run our own businesses! We are able to use these services without having to host our own massive IT infrastructure hiring tons of staff to operate it spending a lot of money in getting mired in lengthy and complicated procurement processes If you can do this easily why cant the government? So this is just a centralization of power which is very, very dangerous. I do not think we want all of our government using cloud computing in the cloud. This doesn't sound like a good idea. It really doesn't. Snazzy site though! How did you get there? Is it APS.gov? I don't get that. 2 Ps. Apps.gov. I love that typing. You have the world's oldest keyboard

1:08:17 It's actually a typewriter. So there is a, uh, yeah. Have you ever seen the movie Brazil? That's the kind of computers I use. No, so what is cloud computing when to learn more apps dot gov little thing here. So this is how many millions of dollars I wanted this site cost from GSA those guys know there's so much going on with GSA Cloud IT service or whether it's gonna be hacked Somebody brought up a really good, sent me a real good email I should send or should publish it and then send the link out discussing the kinds of requirements because there's all these security things based on letting people social security numbers on the internet and putting driver's license on the internet. Putting your tax forms which are all

1:09:07 possibly could be put on, you know all your taxes are electronic now so all your tax information could be on the internet. It could be in the cloud and there's no way of really securing it and so there is going to be a fiasco like happened in the state of Virginia where Kundra and his buddy were that you know where the guy basically took all medical records and then started to extort money from the government because he had had all this stuff and was gonna release it to hackers I mean the whole thing as asking for trouble this isn't The problem is nobody speaks up about this. Some guy who sent me this note, who's a government guy says he thought that the speech that he heard at this government conference said Coon didn't sound like anything and I don't think he does and it just gonna cause a problem somewhere down the road someone will take the blame you know its Obama's fault. Well I must disagree though there are some people speak up about it John and that is us

CHAPTER 27 / 35 Discussion

Value of Independent Media and Seinfeld References

The hosts emphasize the value of their independent analysis in a media landscape dominated by celebrity distractions. They use a "Seinfeld" clip about reversing peepholes to metaphorically describe their approach to observing the media and government. The segment serves as a transition into the show's "Value-for-Value" funding model discussion.

1:10:02 That is what we do. We so this is our segue. This is it we speak about it John Speakers, we talk about it. We do lots of research and it's a two-way street by the way, we are listeners are our producers and and we're proud of it. This came through one of our producers said you won't believe this, John won't believe this and I'm sure that you'll probably take this...this will spin into an article on MarketWatch i'm sure because you hate cloud computing so much but all these things you know the all the news that is being covered up by Kanye and Acorn video which is your being deluged with all the other news like important stuff like stilettos at work

1:10:50 are bringing that to you. last week with what's her name the Erica Aaron Andrews Aaron and re-en play the Seinfeld peepholes clip because I as i mentioned that it was the reverse this is where the idea came from Newman and I are reversing the people on our door so you can see in Why? To prevent an ambush. Now I can peek in to see if anyone is waiting to jack me with a sock full of pennies But then, anyone can just look in and see you Our policy is we're comfortable with our bodies If somebody wants to help themselves to an eyeful We say enjoy the show What does that have to do with money

CHAPTER 28 / 35 Discussion

Top Donors and Significant Contribution Numbers

The show acknowledges its top producers and donors for the week. Andrew Valencia is highlighted for a contribution of $314.16, a number whose significance (possibly related to Pi) is debated. Other notable donors include Noah Bratzel, David Ernie, and Richard Dominelli. The hosts encourage listeners to use the PayPal note field to explain the "gags" behind specific donation amounts.

paypal· donations· andrew valencia· san mateo· value-for-value

1:11:50 I don't know. How about that PBS thing? Do we have to do any of that? No, no no We're gonna save that let's go back to the money thing The fact of the matter is we are on top of this stuff and which is the only point I was making. We pick up old Seinfeld clips for you! I mean come on isn't that worth a buck Well somebody came up with one other guys And let me go through the names of people who gave this last week so we can get that out Of the way how did we do it did you feel we did okay? I think we're now kind of stable. We did pretty good because we had a couple big contributions Cherelle campaign in Bryson City, North Carolina gave us 50. Then Andrew Valencia and I think we should call it do every time we do this from now on when a call out one guy who is the top donor and I'm gonna either come up with a premium like an old silicon spin mug have a bunch of their very collectible. Anyway Andrew gave us and you have to come up with reason for this number $314.16

1:12:47 Which is a lot and he's in San Mateo, and I want to thank him three hundred and fourteen dollars and sixteen cents Yeah, gosh. Have no idea Maybe you'll tell us know if anybody has an idea No Noah Bratzel on st.. St.. Paul Minnesota one of the really great cities of the United States by the way 50 David Ernie from Mesa Arizona 51 Richard Dominelli 7288, which is obviously significant in some ways and Clifton Park New York part of the Dominelli clan. I really wish people would tell us. There's a little place to write a note when you're contributing on PayPal it says you know and you can actually type something in and tell us that what you're doing with the gag

1:13:36 I mean, and I'll see it but Adam won't. And so we can make his life miserable. Cool, thanks. John Traynor at $50 in Wilmington Delaware. Liam Heming 75 and he...I think he's given to us before because he's in Buckinghamshire. Ah, Buckinghamshire! Thank you! uh... it's a possible five pounds the seventy-five yards by five pounds you know which is a lot but you know for us james murray at seventy one dollars houston justin fiore fifty dollars atlanta michael cegan dollar or says he can't collar depending on how you want to pronounce it uh... fifty bucks from you think germany but no since and bernardino which by the way out here in california recall sandberg u

1:14:22 Intersolve Corporation with a V, Intersolve Corporation gave us $50.05 there in Wildwood Missouri. Jens, this is in Amsterdam so it's J-E-N-S is pronounced Jens? Jens. Jens. Jens. Jens Harlander gave us $51 which I guess was a pound or where it gets to euros. This is gag, I wonder how long we can go with that gag before people get sick of it? The Canadians made a career out of that gag by the way. Brendan Matheson 230 bucks and I want to talk about him afterwards because he came up with an interesting concept. He gave us two hundred thirty dollars and

CHAPTER 29 / 35 Discussion

Swedish Station Wagons and Dutch Bakfiets Bicycles

Observations from Sweden note the prevalence of station wagons, attributed to the Swedish love for DIY projects. This leads to a discussion about "Bakfiets," a Dutch cargo bicycle with a large box in front. One host proposes introducing these "SUVs of bicycles" to San Francisco as a healthy, practical alternative for carrying groceries or children, though the other host remains skeptical of their safety.

sweden· volvo· bakfiets· bicycles· san francisco· transportation

1:15:06 Bangkok, Thailand. Right on! I think that's pretty cool. Yes. Andrew Hesse in Orobro, Sweden gave us $100 which is 5 euros Lawrence Donovan 50 dollars out of Chicago And by the way, you know to go back to the Swedish guy. You know I'm in Sweden...I love Sweden by the way it's a really great place and driving around and noticing on the freeways that everybody is driving station wagons. Volvo's no doubt! Volvos and BMWs too there are some of those and lot of Saabs but they're all stationary everybodys got a station wagon so i am asking why does everyone have a station wagon?

1:15:45 Well, apparently the Swedes according to my contact there which was with the government says they love... The Swedes just love do-it-yourself projects and so they're always going in and out of these Home Depot places. It's interesting you mention that because I had an idea for San Francisco When it comes to transportation, the city is really pushing towards bicycles and I know that you hate the bicycles. But there's this particular type of bike which is a Dutch invention called Buckfeet. And I'm actually, I've already coined the phrase now the SUV instead of S-U-V. And if you take a look at what these bikes look like John don't you think that this would be perfect for San Francisco? It's just saying in the link on Skype so it's a bicycle with kind of a box on the front and you bike behind it. I have seen couple of these things In San Francisco

1:16:47 I may have seen one in Berkeley, but I know I've seen them in Holland. Yeah well in Holland they're off the hook and although I think they're not very appropriate for the canals because they are a little wide and they can damage stuff...I think if you had the appropriate gear settings on it these things become sophisticated over the years You know, we have places to park scooters. It would be perfect to park one of these in a scooter bay. You know it's a bike so it's healthy the city is making bike paths but you can throw like your shit and there are your books and their computer or your kids I mean...I don't know! I'm gonna get one on bring over and see how people respond on the street. Oh if you're lucky you don't get shot

1:17:31 Thanks. The stupidest thing I've ever seen. Okay, oh that now that's an endorsement right on the side John C Dvorak says this is the stupidest thing i've ever seen it is the stupidest thing and though its dangerous now it's guaranteed to be a hit okay let me finish off our little list here we have Andrew Tong gave us $89.64 cents and he's in Hong Kong one of my favorite towns although it's really expensive nowadays I don't go there anymore thank you And finally, Malcolm Blair at Parts Unknown gave us 50. So anyway, I was mentioning Brendan in Bangkok who is going on about well you know he went back and listened to all the shows and he felt that he should pay a bit. He kind of calculated it from some perspective obviously miscalculated so this show's worth $1 a show How much did he donate? So he should have donated 131. He donated 230. And we owe him 100?

CHAPTER 30 / 35 Discussion

Value-for-Value Calculation and Parking Meter Comparisons

A listener's calculation of donating $1 per episode is discussed, leading to a breakdown of the show's cost-to-value ratio. The hosts compare the suggested 50 cents per show donation to the cost of parking in San Francisco, which is 25 cents for five minutes. They argue that providing 90 minutes of entertainment for the price of ten minutes of parking is a reasonable request for those who find value in the program.

donation model· san francisco· parking meters· podcasting· micro-payments

1:18:32 Well, that's right. That reminds you of a joke but anyway I think he said he wanted to add an extra hundred because it just He felt like he should. And I think the other people out there, you know feel obligated to do this and he made the calculation, your $5 a month thing which hasn't really caught on but we're getting about two or three or four people that subscribe at five dollars a month is about 50 cents a show and thinking well no it's off there too It's not it's less than a buck a show he thought but then turns out to be around fifty cents. I was thinking if people would think of when they want to give us 50 cents for a show. Now I don't mean to send us a PayPal thing for 50 cents as a joke because we're not going to get anything, but you know save it up or do whatever you want to do and give us you know 50 cent times X three months from now. Think of it this way

1:19:24 If you go into San Francisco right now, you're paying 25 cents. It's over by the MeVio offices it's 25 cents to park for five minutes and that's what it is in San Francisco which is a complete scam I might add so if to park for like an hour You've got to put so much money in the meter that the thing will fill up the little bin for coins And so it's like, you know 50s, you know as a quarter for didn't five minutes. She wanted be ten minutes. It's like fifty cents of that ten minutes is fifties fifty cents just a park i mean if you keep we're giving you an hour and a half and were asking for a set chilly fifty cents insofar as uh... as the donations concern that's on at five dollar-a-month thing that's really reasonable it seems to me given people lot of entertainment value for very little

CHAPTER 31 / 35 Discussion

NPR Underwriting and Archer Daniels Midland Corruption

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller is heard on tape admitting that "underwriting" is essentially the same as advertising or sponsorship. This leads to a scathing critique of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), a frequent NPR underwriter. ADM is described as a corrupt organization involved in global price-fixing and corporate espionage, as depicted in the book and film "The Informant." The hosts argue that such sponsorships inevitably influence news content.

npr· vivian schiller· archer daniels midland· adm· price fixing· corporate sponsorship

1:20:13 And we're not taking ads. We have no sponsors, we have no ads because we know that would ruin the show. We don't want to break for commercial and of course you know then we have all kinds of other interests and then we got it... It's the same thing except instead of begging you for money were begging you go buy some friggin product or some service So your keeping kind in the family here And a lot of you donate to public radio or public television. By the way, while you're on the topic of donating to public radio I want you to play NPR Call It Whatever You Want clip This is the woman who was the CEO of NPR and she just... I don't have a PBS No, keep looking it's right underneath The Melkin Rant

1:21:02 Oh, got it. Here comes. Okay move it on to money How are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? Whoa! What is this? This is at the National Press Club And it's the CEO of NPR, let me get her name. Let me cut to the chase. So when next time you hear NPR or you see something on PBS and this is brought to by Archer Daniels Midland Corporation go see The Informant which comes out tomorrow starring Matt Damon I read the book it's a hilarious book but frightening and sad at the same time It's America's supermarket

1:21:42 as they build themselves, go look at this corrupt bullshit organization who have screwed you. Every single person listening to this program has been screwed by ADM because they were in the business of price fixing on everything! Every single product that is a part of drinks or part uh... cereals you name it they price fix it which may be which means a real difference to your money to subsidies for farmers they have been screwing you and their under quote underwriting which is no difference from sponsoring but well the writing this program

1:22:20 And so this is Vivian Schiller, the CEO of NPR answering that question about where's your money coming from. Okay let's take it from the top. Moving on to money how are NPRs corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession and what about foundation grants? Two different stories underwriting is Underwriting this is down it's down for everybody. Yeah, this is this it's down for everybody Oh you mean advertising is down for everybody because it's a good she blows it herself It's advertised Underwriting is down. It's down for everybody, I mean this is the area that is most down for us. Is in sponsorship, underwriting advertising call it whatever you want

1:23:10 Oh my god! Play that little end again, you stepped all over it. Underwriting is down It's down for everybody I mean this is the area that is most down for us Is in sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want Call it whatever you want I'm giving this one a standard spot on my board here. We gotta play this from time to time So that is your public radio who are completely influenced because that's the way it works when you have... At least at MeVeo when we do a show with the Honda it's about the Honda. It's about the scooter You know, what I'm messing around here ha ha you like to show it's about the damn Honda. It's not it's not unclear Okay, and it's very clear on this underwriting thing that there's any influence? I mean they'll say there's not but come on of course There's influence you can go see this movie okay, you know what don't donate

1:24:09 Go see that don't donate yet. Go see this movie spend your Spans Sorry, spend 20 bucks without eating any popcorn watch this movie and then you are going to hate yourself For what? You have allowed to happen to you through Archer Daniel's Midland Corporation They bought politicians they were a nice fixing in corporate espionage but they have every single person listen to this has has as shell shelled out more money for products because of their illegal practices well that and i sponsor and the sponsor and not only sponsored you don't think they have something when you see this movie you'll understand what I'm talking about or a book and then you will you immediately want it you will immediately want to donate little money yeah

No Agenda Knighting Ceremony and Donation Logistics

The hosts discuss the logistics of the "No Agenda Knighting" ceremony, noting that they need ten participants to move forward with a planned dinner. They clarify that PayPal allows for fee-free refunds within 60 days if the event does not materialize. Top donors are again thanked, with a promise of special recognition for those who "step up" with significant financial support.

knighting· paypal· donations· no agenda show· membership

1:25:00 By the way, we're running short on time. Yeah but let's go plug at least where they can donate to us which is noagendashow.com please go there and click on one of the buttons you'll see them or go to uh... dvorak dot org slash n a and by the way were really good use a couple more nights for people who want to get on the night bandwagon we've got some some surprises for those people we get two more people that joined did wants to go to the dinner now are up to four So I'm going to have to give it another week. But we have to fill up ten, otherwise we can't do it John Yeah right but we'll give them one more you know another not till Sunday but till next Thursday and then we can kill it It's gonna suck to give all that money back

1:25:42 Well, yeah it does suck to give the money back but one good thing is with the PayPal system even though a lot of people dislike it if you give it back within 60 days there's no VIG. Noagendashow.com or Dvorak.org slash NA will call out and I think I'm also going to call out the person like Andrew Valencia San Mateo San Mateo County as the top donor and maybe we'll do something special for these guys who actually all of a sudden just step up and throw good deal of money at us.

Swine Flu Vaccine Rollout and International Resistance

The H1N1 "swine flu" vaccine rollout is beginning globally, with reports that UK doctors will be paid £5.25 per injection. In France, nurses are reportedly rejecting the vaccine due to safety concerns, a sentiment echoed by various medical practitioner groups worldwide. Novartis is moving forward with sales based on trials involving only 100 people, which the hosts characterize as a rushed and potentially dangerous process.

1:26:24 We really, we really appreciate it. And we want to thank everybody who's even doing the $2 and some people send 15 and there are still 49-95 that don't want to be mentioned There is at least three of those people that keep kind of donating forty nine bucks every so often By the way if you're going to send a really long email about why your not donating Could you just put that at the top so I don't have to read through all your bullshit? I'd really appreciate that. Those are the Phil Marr fans! Yeah, quick trip around the horn... Swine flu from Bloomberg swine flu shots to start in three weeks as US cases spread from... I got like five stories, i gotta run through them man we're out of time. Let me just ask you a question why is the seasonal flu vaccine out already? It was out last week this is the earliest it's ever been out what's the deal because it's part it's the same shit! It's the same stuff and you can get at Walgreens it's the same stuff

1:27:21 In the United Kingdom, the general practitioners have finally come to an agreement. They will be paid £5.25 per jab they hand out to folks for swine flu of course you'll receive it for free but they will be making money on it in Italy I'm sorry skip that one Novartis will be selling their swine flu on the basis of a trial which they deem successful. 100 people! They tested 100 and it's a success so let's rock n' roll and use it

1:28:00 They didn't drop dead on the spot. No, and a little known fact French nurses are rejecting the swine flu vaccination over safety concerns which of course you won't hear anywhere but good on you for the Frenchies By the way they're not the only ones there's groups all over the world medical practitioners that are refusing to take the shot And then two quick notes, I'm not quite sure what's going on staying in France for a moment. At France Telecom there is something very weird happening in the past 18 months there have been 23 suicides by employees. I am not quite sure what's going on

CHAPTER 34 / 35 Discussion

France Telecom Suicides and Catholic Church Scandals

France Telecom is facing a crisis after 23 employees committed suicide over an 18-month period, with many leaving notes citing workplace stress and management issues. Meanwhile, in Italy, new reports from the Associated Press detail widespread sexual abuse of young boys by Catholic priests, challenging the notion that such scandals were limited to the United States. These stories are included in the show's comprehensive digital notes.

france telecom· suicide· italy· catholic church· sexual abuse· ap news

1:28:37 but a lot of it seems to have to do with the union and how much money they can or can't make, and people are unhappy. At least they're leaving some work-related messaging in their suicide notes 23 in the past 18 months. And then Italy... It was bound to happen! Finally there The skirt is being lifted and there's a ton of people coming out about priests, Catholic priests abusing young boys. Wait a minute, I thought it was only in America where that kind of thing happened. Oh no, Associated Press story which...I don't want to read it to you so disgusting but its in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com Which by the way takes a lot of time to compile as well and and I think the show notes the links are probably just as good as our show

1:29:31 I agree. There's a lot of good links in there and for people who say oh man these guys are full of shit just send them to the links you're gonna they're gonna say that Associated Press is no good, that Reuters is no good, that Bloombergers no good The Wall Street Journal is no good and we collect it all for you We're collection service Collection and actually recycling And we're proud of it damnit alright did you just No, it's one of your pals and by the way Eric Eric up in Port Angeles says they got a lot of water up there if you want to put The cloud buster up there. I think it'd be more fun to put it in Your San Francisco pad yeah, that'll be cool Suck all the energy life energy out of you once you flip that switch oh
