About this episode

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel faces intense backlash after using derogatory language toward liberal activists, prompting a formal apology to disability advocates and the Special Olympics. This controversy coincides with a national push by r-word.org and John C. McGinley to replace outdated terminology with the phrase intellectual disability. Meanwhile, the IRS Criminal Investigation Division has issued a solicitation for Remington 870 shotguns, raising questions about the escalation of force within a tax collection agency.

MSNBC and Bloomberg have begun exposing the Big TARP Lie, revealing that secret banking cabals have repaid only a fraction of the trillions provided by the Federal Reserve. In the aviation sector, the Department of Homeland Security is deploying 1,000 advanced imaging machines following MI5 reports that Al-Qaeda is developing explosive surgical implants. Senator Dianne Feinstein and intelligence officials warn of an imminent homeland attack, while the State Department admits it intentionally did not revoke the visa of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to monitor his movements.

NCIS Los Angeles appears to be broadcasting vaccine propaganda by inventing a fictional botulism crisis to drive public fear. In Haiti, Scientology Volunteer Ministers are reportedly disrupting medical operations with healing massages while the U.S. Air Force deploys Commando Solo aircraft for psychological operations. The segment also features a critique of Carly Fiorina’s bizarre demon sheep campaign ad and the etymology of the term douchebag as a legally safe insult.

Valentine's Day Traditions and Rahm Emanuel's Controversy

The discussion begins with a comparison of Valentine's Day traditions in American schools versus private celebrations. The focus shifts to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who faced criticism for using a derogatory term to describe liberal activists. Emanuel reportedly met with disabilities advocates to apologize for his language.

00:01 So I guess now when you say, hey that babes got dynamite boobs, you ain't kidding. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's February 4th, 2010, time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 171. This is no agenda. Banging the budget into the stratosphere and coming to you from the minimum security containment cell Live at the crackpot command center in Gibbo Nation West San Francisco, California in the morning. I'm Adam Curry February 4th say it's not so I'm John C. Dvorak In the morning to you morning to you isn't February 4th Valentine's Day

00:43 No, that would be the 14th. Oh, whoo. Yeah, I can just hear Mimi's eyes are rolling as we speak. But let me get what she knows. I'm not very good with. I was gonna say, let me guess. You guys don't participate in Valentine's Day. No, we do it. Whatever the kids want to do, we do it. But Valentine's Day is for your loved one, not for the kids. No, it's... You're right. Look at what kids do in America. They have Valentine's Day parties and everyone gives everyone anonymous Valentine's throughout the classroom. Although I think that's probably been banned lately. What? It's politically incorrect? You've got to be kidding me. I'm thinking. It's funny you mention, you bring that up because last night as I was prepping before I went to bed, I was reading about Rahm Emanuel and I guess he had said somewhere that some gathering he had talked about those effing retards.

R-word.org Campaign and Intellectual Disability Terminology

A movement led by r-word.org and the Special Olympics aims to eliminate the word "retard" from common speech, replacing it with "intellectual disability." Actor John C. McGinley serves as an ambassador for the campaign, emphasizing the power of language. The conversation explores the linguistic shift and the potential political motivations behind rebranding certain terms.

01:41 Did you hear about that? No, but I can just see he's all you have to do is look at him and you know he says that. So hold on a second I've got the link it's really funny because I bumped into something amazing that we got we got to jump on the on the bandwagon here here it is Wall Street Journal White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met with disabilities advocates and apologized again for his use of the word retarded Criticism of Mr. Emanuel have been building since the Wall Street Journal reported last week that he told a group of liberal activists that it was effing retarded for them to run attack ads against some Democrats. By the way, for those of you outside of Gitmo Nation USA, Rahm Emanuel is the chief of staff for the President of the United States. And then I see that he actually had a private meeting in which he apologized to Special Olympics head Tim Shriver. Now I know Tim, I've had dinner with him once.

02:37 And he's kind of like the poor side of the Kennedy family. And he runs the Special Olympics, which of course for years was run by his mom, I guess, right? Eunice? Yeah. And so I'm like looking around and it turns out there's actually a whole movement. Hold on, www, check this out, John, r-word.org. So not only do we have the N word, which we can't use, of course we have the C word, which we've not been able to use for a long time, but now we have the R word. R-word.org. You may no longer say the word retard. Our language frames how we think about others. Help eliminate the use of the R word in everyday speech.

03:31 This is a whole website. Yeah, they got more pledges than we do. 52,277. Well, those are pledges. That's not money. It's the same thing. It's where you pledge money. No, no, no. The pledge is the pledge here. Oh, does it not use the word retard? Yeah. It's a perfectly okay word. Well, if they don't want you to use it because it refers to a subculture, subgroup of people, sub whatever. I don't have a problem dropping it. Really? I mean, I find it ridiculous. It's, you know, first of all, the word retard, you use that in aviation all the time, by the way, to retard the throttle, as an example, which means to pull back, to slow down. Yeah, it's an accurate, but if you look in the dictionary, it actually is, the word retard and retarded is in the dictionary. Yeah. Well, if you want to retard the throttle, that's different, but then you're using it as a verb. No, it's in the dictionary as a,

04:27 As a, you know, I'll look it up for you. I'll look up the exact definition. I just like, you know, I think it's just going a bit too far. At what point, when I was in Jersey, Hanging out with the guys from like skid row and stuff down here Tom's River. They had this guy Who I think it's kind of a strange thing to say out of the blue? Jersey last week hanging out at Skid Row. What would you do? Listen, this is down on Tom's River This is that whole area where Bon Jovi came from and later on there was like a whole bunch of real rock bands that were from there and And we had this one guy who would hang out around the studio and he was I think he had polio and

05:07 and he would call himself, and everyone called him the cripple, or actually Chet the Leaning Mule is what we called him. He probably more likely had cerebral palsy. Could have been cerebral palsy. But you know, it was like, and it made it so much more comfortable, and he was so much more a part of the group just by, you know, everyone called each other douchebag, or you know, by the way, talk about derogatory, don't use the D word, douchebags of the world will be offended. You retard. It's the douchebags of the world. Douchebags unite. Yeah. Noun, a mentally handicapped person. So it says it right there in the dictionary. Of course, it does say often used as a general term of abuse.

05:47 But it's like a valid word. I'm just, I think we can go too far that we only have 26 letters that we can ban. Before you know it, we're just going to be saying N, C, P, N. I'm not saying that it's a good idea and I don't think it's going to get very far to be honest about it. But I can't get worked up about people, you know, finding it to, you know, they want to end the usage. I can't get worked up about it. But why can't you call an Someone else, there's two sides to it. Why wouldn't you be able to call someone who's mentally retarded, which is a proper term, right? Or is that, oh you can't say that, you are mentally retarded, you are the retardation. I mean, is that not a proper use of the word? Only retard is derogatory? What am I going to call people? Excuse me, could you please give me a card with your actual issue?

06:37 Yeah. So what would you like me to call you? Yeah, really is like that down syndrome guy. I mean, does that sound nice? Does that sound any nicer or to that special person? I'm sorry, I just I can't buy that stuff. I think like special. I think that's what I start calling you. I know I'm special, but seriously, it's crazy. Yeah, it's just going to make an amount out of a bull hill. No, because this is how it starts. And then we'll be over the next thing you know, we're in concentration camps. You mean the C camp word? By the way, don't talk about the H word. And don't don't blame it on the J word.

07:21 I mean, this is where it's gonna go, man. This is exactly where it's gonna go. It's just a whole- maybe it's that I take offense to the R word. Well, here's, um... John C. McGinley. And he's on that website and here we go. Hi, I'm John C. McGinley. I'm an ambassador for the National Down Syndrome Society and today I'm joining up with the Special Olympics to bring you a message that's very important to me. As Dr. Cox on Scrubs, you've heard me call JD many different names over the years. Patricia, Pam, Helen, Billy, Nicole, Deb, Nancy, Kathleen, Mary, Loretta, and Grace. But one name you have never heard me use is retard or retarded.

07:59 Words are powerful. Hearing the R-word makes people with intellectual disabilities and those who love them feel like less valued members of humanity. That's why we're asking you to help spread the word to end the R-word. Join the campaign and make your pledge. It's time to respect and value people with intellectual disabilities. It's time to end the R-word. I'm sorry, that's an intellectually disabled person. That's what you're supposed to say, I guess. I'm thinking, you know what I'm thinking? This is some sort of, now that you mention that the guys from the poor side of the Kennedy family, this is some sort of a meme created to make, to associate the R word, well retarded, with Republican.

08:50 I like it. Let's call it... Because you guys are Democrat, the whole thing seems like a scheme. We start saying the R word, you might... the first thing that comes to mind is Republican. I like it. I'm going to make it... put it in within my brain that it's like, you know, retarded Republican, retarded Republican, same thing. So, yeah, interesting. That's not bad. Now I'll take your side because of that. Cool. Welcome to the party. I mean the P word. We just need to be claiming these words. You know, because... Let's claim a few of our own. Yeah, okay. The D word I think is good. What's the D word? The douchebag.

CHAPTER 03 / 26 Discussion

Etymology and Usage of the Term Douchebag

The term "douchebag" is analyzed as a modern aggressive epithet that gained popularity through media figures like John Stewart. Because the term refers to a hygiene device, it is often viewed as legally safe from libel or slander charges. The discussion touches on how various derogatory terms evolve in public discourse.

john stewart· libel· slander· epithets· linguistics

09:32 I'm not a douchebag, but you know why douchebag was created of course is because it's not libelous or slanderous. You know what, when I first heard it, I guess late 80s, it was you're a douche, douchebag. I could see women physically cringe. They didn't like the idea of you talking about a device they from time to time have to use for vaginal hygiene. Yeah, it became a term of an aggressive epithet. I think mostly within the last few years, especially with people like John Stewart who use it to attack somebody without doing anything that's actually libelous or slanderous because and if it ever was even considered libelous or slanderous, you know that no, never going to be a court hearing where somebody goes up and says,

10:26 So, Mr. Curry, do you consider yourself a douchebag? I'd be like, yes. I object to that. Guilty as charged. Well, I'm asking if you think he's a douchebag. You know, like a derogatory term towards homosexuals, a Nancy. You know, the Nancys of the world must be pissed off. Pelosi, by the way, must be livid. Maybe that's why she... Is he gay? Sorry, I'm not sorry the timing was bad. It wasn't funny. I meant to say lesbian or something like that. I didn't work out No, no is bad. John. How you ruined it for me? Let's let's move on who are real topic who is this week's or this episodes executive producer and do we have more than one again another trio oh? So let's start off and then I shot wah Get your sound effect ready which one I

Knighthood of Andrew Greene and No Agenda Night App Concept

Andrew Greene of Palm Harbor, Florida, is officially knighted as an executive producer of the show. A proposal is made for a exclusive "No Agenda Knight" iPhone app that would use GPS to help knights locate and contact one another while traveling. The app would feature masked phone numbers to maintain privacy within the group.

11:16 For the night. Oh, oh my goodness. Oh, okay. Oh, well. I was stunned. I stunned him. Yes, you did. Let me write down the name first. We have a knight, a new one as executive producer. Cool! Yeah, he's the executive producer. He's given us money before. So this is just wrapping it up. So he's on a layaway program. Well, self... Self-induced. Self-induced. Self-induced layaway. Knighthood layaway. Oh, the K word. Yes. Andrew Green, G-R-E-E-N-E of Palm Harbor, Florida, come on down! Alright, Andrew, stand before me. Neil Andrew Green, I hereby knight you, Sir Andrew Green of the No Agenda Roundtable.

12:14 Two Advil will help the headache, Andrew. Sounds like you chopped his arms off. Well thank you, Andrew. That's awesome. Welcome to the No Agenda Roundtable as one of our official nights. And of course you can put the K word on your resume. And it has been noted... Oh, will the tech you produce have more value? Yes, it will. It will. So he gave us the $850 up from, in addition to the $150 he gave us before. And he said he's going to be going to London and Paris later this year. Do you either have good restaurant suggestions? I sent him a note for some London ideas. I'll follow up with some Paris ideas. I have a great idea all of a sudden. I have a great incentive. Yeah, for a night. But we want to just have him go over to your house and kill your phone. No, not quite. Not quite that good.

13:05 I was thinking why don't we make a no agenda night app, right? Which you can't buy, but which you will be given. Your iPhone will be provisioned and that night app allows you to contact any of the other nights. Of course the phone numbers will be hidden, but you can basically, when you're in a pinch, the GPS knows where you are. It knows where the closest night is and it'll be like our digital gypsy ring. I like it. And in addition of course if you're really you know if you need to reach the castle then you can call us. It'll mask the phone numbers but you know it's a very personalized thing you can't give it to anybody unless you give the whole phone away and it would be you know there would be some special benefits and it's really just for the nights. I like it. And while we're at it John why don't we just throw in an iPhone that are gonna be 99 bucks

Donor Acknowledgments and Pocket No Agenda App Revenue

Donations from Stone Harriman and Ion Monroe are acknowledged, with a side discussion on the beauty of Louisiana. Clarification is provided regarding the Pocket No Agenda app created by Adam Burkpile; despite its popularity on the "What's Hot" list, Apple's slow payment cycle has delayed the distribution of funds to the show.

14:00 I'm not arguing any of these ideas. I think that's interesting. Okay. Let's get our other executive producers out of the way. Yes, please do. We have a $25 donation from Stone Harriman who's in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. And he's another one of these guys who has picked up on the hookers in blow me and that's a bow me that's a place in Texas by the way bow me in Texas well me and told us to spend the money on that thank you so thank you stone stone Harriman see there are people named stone by the way besides stone Phillips I think can you imagine a your kids stone well depends if you're if your other kids name is a pebble

14:50 Pebble. I actually think it's a good sounding name when you're older, but I don't know about being a kid with the name Stone. Well, it depends. I mean, if you look like Stone Phillips, then it's a good name, right? Stone Phillips looks like Stone Phillips, everybody. You can imagine if my name was Stone, people would be like, you're a retard. Stone. You'd be stoned. Okay, and finally $250 from our buddy Ion, Ion Monroe of River Ridge, Louisiana. One of these days you're gonna get his name right. That's why he keeps donating. He's like, please call me Ion. Ion. Ion. All right. Ion. I have to read. Oh, go ahead. John and Adam, more money from me. After a short debate at work, I played an episode

15:40 for everyone and I swear you never saw so many eyes light up. People heard, by the way we should give them an associate PR thing for this too. I sent you another associate PR thing in the mail, I hope you got it. Yeah, no, I sent you a note back and said I couldn't, it was an email address not a link. I've been trying to find, it was a drop.io link. See if you, thanks for reading my email John. People heard me through, let me go back to the letter. You never saw so many eyes light up. People heard me spout on and on about this No Agenda show, but after I played an episode and let them nose through the No Agenda app on my iPhone, I thought you might get about six or so new listeners.

It is some of the most beautiful country you can... part of the country you can imagine. It is fantastic. It's got a lot of characters too. I just want to say, I mentioned the iPhone app. On the previous No Agenda, I was questioning where the donation was from our Pocket No Agenda app.

17:06 which Adam Burkpile created. And so the guy was like destroyed. Destroyed. Because essentially he's been waiting for the money to come through from Apple. So apparently Apple is on a pretty slow cycle. Oh, so Apple's a slow pay operation. It seems like it's not very quick. Yeah. So mea culpa. You can make money on the interest. I, yeah. I, yeah. And your point is? He was destroyed. Yeah, I feel bad. You know, I don't you should that's why you always jump the gun No, I didn't I said I question I didn't accuse anyone I said I question I haven't seen any money yet because the thing has been on the what's hot list for two weeks in a row I'm like, okay, so maybe we get some money by now.

Barack Obama's Troop Withdrawal Promises and TARP Analysis

A 2007 clip of Barack Obama promising immediate troop withdrawal is revisited in light of current military status. The focus shifts to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which is characterized as a massive transfer of wealth to banks. Critics argue that while politicians claim the money is being repaid, the vast majority of federal subsidies remain outstanding.

barack obama· iraq war· tarp· federal reserve· bank bonuses

18:45 Well yeah, there's that, the karma thing. But the fact of the matter is these executive producer titles are real and in fact these three people paid for the show. Yes, and you know what John? You can take that to the bank. Yes. Hell yeah. yeah i i got i got lots of that way i get this is a bad kid that take that to the bank come from a speech obama gate where he said the first thing he's gonna do it again president allow me to play it for you i will promise you this that if we have not got our troops out by the time i am president it is the first thing i will do i will get our troops home we will bring an end to this war you can take that to the bank you can take that to the bank he said it twice

19:31 I heard it on your tape. You know, that's funny that he said that because you know, if you notice that this actually hasn't occurred. I'm still at the door of the bank. I'm trying to get in. Let me get in. I want to take it to the bank. Yeah, let me start off with, you know, what's interesting and you can kind of tell where the times are, although we do have plenty of stuff that we really got to hit today. We do have to reopen the climate gate briefly. We have to talk a little bit about the crotch bomber, no doubt. But there was something that showed up on MSNBC. I want to play this clip for you because this really shows you the scam that is TARP.

20:19 And when you see someone slamming the administration, the treasury and the Federal Reserve about this $700 billion, which is actually $23 trillion, which has been basically stolen from us, the American people, and handed off to the banks, which is of course why they can hand out these hundreds of billions of billions Please, it's a thousand million, hundreds of billions of dollars in bonuses. But when MSNBC is talking about this, you either know it's so bad that even they can't hide it, or they have some reason for exposing it because they're pissed off about something. Have you seen this clip, John?

CHAPTER 07 / 26 Discussion

MSNBC Coverage of the Big TARP Lie

MSNBC and Bloomberg have begun reporting on the "Big TARP Lie," highlighting that banks have only repaid a tiny fraction of the trillions provided by the Federal Reserve. General Electric's ownership of NBC is noted as a factor in their reporting interests. Bloomberg news recently acknowledged that "secret banking cabals" are no longer just a conspiracy theory following congressional hearings.

msnbc· general electric· bloomberg· aig· banking cabal

21:04 Nope. I want to go back for a second to the president and his olive branch. I don't know if we still have that olive branch around here anywhere, but he has extended quite a few of them, particularly in that State of the Union speech. He's offered up what he sees as some great... So what you see here in the background is the... forget the guy's name from MSNBC. He's actually the kind of... I think he's an ex-banker dude or Wall Street guy. He just rolled into television. So on the big screen behind him it says, the big tarp lie. And it's got some artwork there that looks like it could have been a cover art for no agenda actually, you know, with the Federal Reserve and money flowing all over it and stuff. Remember this is MSNBC, which of course is part of the

21:44 The president's propaganda machine NBC. General Electric owns them and General Electric hopes to make a fortune selling turbines for wind power and nukes electric trains, plants, jet engines, trains, full trains and tracks. Yep. All right, let's listen to what he's saying. To some of our most pressing problems, education, health care, we know the narratives. And while the president talks about jobs, rightly so, and stimulus money, and getting our money back from the bankers, there's the olive branch, see he's extending this. As he has that conversation, and it's compelling, and you want to help him, you want to help him fix the process, you want to figure out a way to get rid of the influence of special interests whether you're on the left or the right, you know it's hurting our country.

22:38 But we fear that our president right now is like a man preparing to run a marathon, even with an olive branch, while ignoring the fact that he has a gigantic, I don't have a thorn prop, I'm sorry, a giant thorn in his foot. And the thorn that I'm talking about... I love the Grecian metaphor, by the way. I think that's kind of interesting he pulled that in there. ...thing about is the big tarp light. The president continues to say in public that banks have almost paid Americans back. That is a lie. The fact is, the TARP, which Congress approved, is only 2% of the trillions of dollars in free money being provided to our banks by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury.

23:30 The American people know this. They know that they are subsidizing our banking sector. And yet, the tarp lie continues to be spread by our politicians. So, it's about five minutes. You can find the rest of it in the show notes at noagendashow.com. But I find that, and they had a nice pie chart with like, it looked like blinis. You know, that's the stuff you put your caviar on. So they had a little tiny blini with 2%. That's what the banks have paid back. And then you have the $23.7 trillion, which is a huge blini looking like a big pancake. And of course it's true. In fact, I don't think I read this to you on the last show, Bloomberg. Bloomberg is saying the same. I mean, it's amazing. Everyone's just coming out and saying, hey, you know, we're all getting screwed here.

24:28 I don't know what to make of it. Here it is. This one cracked me up. Maybe I did read this to you. Secret banking cabal emerges from AIG shadows. Did we talk about that on the last show? I think you maybe teased it or you were going to talk about it. I don't remember it. I remember the story. Well, this is Bloomberg. It's from January 29th. The idea of this... the reason why it caught my eye was the opening paragraph. The idea of secret banking combals who control the country and global economy are a given among conspiracy theorists who stockpile ammo, bottled water and peanut butter.

25:03 After this week's congressional hearing, you have to wonder if those folks are crazy at all. So you know, essentially everyone's, you know, good journalists and I feel that Bloomberg has quite a few, in fact the good ones usually drown in a pool of aspirin. They can't even live with their own conscience. They have to come out and say, hey, you know, this is what's really happening, even though they're supposed to be on board with the program. I don't know. I don't know where Bloomberg stands on anything. I can't figure that guy out. Well, but he's not really running it. At least he's not supposed to be running it. He's probably still is running it no matter what anyone thinks. But I don't, I separate Bloomberg, the news agency from Bloomberg, the mayor. I don't so much. And then the budget came out. I don't even have to ask. I know you haven't looked at it, but I have.

Homeland Security Budget and Aviation Body Scanners

The Department of Homeland Security budget includes funding for 1,000 advanced imaging technology screening machines at U.S. airports. This increase in surveillance is linked to a shift toward more restrictive air travel, including more Federal Air Marshals. Concerns are raised that slowing down security lines creates large crowds that are themselves vulnerable targets.

homeland security· aviation security· body scanners· air marshals· taser

26:08 And it's on whitehouse.gov slash OMB slash budget. And I should look at it for what reason? Because it's also your money that's being spent. Is that a thought? Is that... I'm just saying. It's just... What money? So they've split this up into like 20 PDFs so you can see each individual department. And I just figured I'd bring up Homeland Security for you. Because they have a big box at the beginning. Funding highlights. Number one, top of the list for Homeland Security.

26:44 The budget supports aviation security by deploying up to 1,000 advanced imaging technology screening machines that can identify anomalies such as firearms and explosives on passengers and by increasing the number of international flights on which Federal Air Marshals are present. Well, that completely justifies our theory. You will soon no longer have flight attendants, you will have air marshals, you will be served no drinks, no food, you'll be in your seat, sitting down quietly with your hands folded on your lap. Or cuffed. Well, you'll probably have the Taser ID bracelet around your arm. So if you get out of line, then the air marshal just zaps your button. What is that? 26D? Oh, okay. Whoops, I'm sorry, lady. I have to pee!

27:37 But a thousand of those scanners, how many airports do we have? Major airports, 250 in the US? I don't know. Yeah, I think it's 250. They can't be putting them in every airport. But they're going to do what they're going to have to do. They can't obviously put them in the little regional airports that fly in. No, but that's not, it's not about that. It's about the big airports where you can fuck with people. Yeah, you want to do it. Yeah. Well, you know, like my son said last time he's flying, he says, you know, this is so dangerous. You could, you know, the lines now because they've slowed things down. Like they're got, they're going outside. There's big groups of people that are forming huge piles of people. Now, why doesn't the guy just, you know, I mean, it's obvious everybody's talking about this. They talk about it and people wonder and they say has no answer to it. What is the prevent a car bomber guide?

MI5 Reports on Explosive Breast Implants

British intelligence service MI5 reportedly discovered that Al-Qaeda-linked doctors are training to insert explosives, specifically PETN, into surgical implants. These devices could be hidden in breast enhancements or other body parts like the buttocks. The report suggests these "dynamite boobs" are a new tactic to bypass traditional airport security.

28:25 fill a truck full of explosives. Nothing. And blow up the people standing in line. Or how about one of these trains? Or how about the bus station? Or how about the mall? Or you know, all these other places. Now of course, and actually I looked at Dvorak.org to make, I was amazed that you hadn't blogged this. I can't believe it. This is a... Blogged what? Well listen, London, Dateline, agents for Britain's MI5 intelligence service have discovered Muslim doctors trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals have returned to their own countries to fit surgical implants filled with explosives. Women suicide bombers recruited by Al-Qaeda

29:16 are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives, usually PETN, of course, never heard of this before, are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up. Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in the buttock. Both are parts of the body that diabetics use to inject themselves with their prescribed drugs. So of course you'll have your insulin injection, which of course really contains the ignition device, and you'll be on the plane, and you'll jam it in your ass and blow it all sky high! So I guess now when you say, hey, that babe's got dynamite boobs, you ain't kidding. But how amazing is that?

30:16 MI5 of course is Gitmo Nation East's version of the CIA. This sounds like a crock of crap. This is uh... Where are all these bombers anyway? Well of course it's a crock of crap! But where are all the bombers? I mean how come they're not bombing left and right? I mean if they're already... They're hot looking chicks man, what are you talking about? Okay. So I have to bring something here. Before we get to the clip, I'm sure you're gonna roll out a clip, I just want you to know this is what uh... Crap, I gotta find it real quick. You know, they, during those congressional hearings about security, they had them all sitting there in a row. Did you see this? That's the clip I got. Oh, okay. Good. Hello? Oh, the homeland attack? Got it. Duh. Perfect. Segway.

CHAPTER 10 / 26 Discussion

Dianne Feinstein and the Homeland Security Narrative

Senator Dianne Feinstein questioned intelligence heads about the likelihood of a "homeland" attack within six months, receiving unanimous agreement. The use of the word "homeland" is criticized as a form of neural programming reminiscent of historical "fatherland" rhetoric. An anecdote about Feinstein's past political career in San Francisco is shared to illustrate her perceived incompetence.

dianne feinstein· cia· leon panetta· homeland· nazi imagery

31:03 Well, there's two things about this clip. This is a Feinstein asking a bunch of the intelligence heads of different intelligence agencies and generals and whatever. What's the likelihood of a massive attack on the US within the next, you know... Six months. Six months is what she said. Six months. And they said this, but I got a completely different, interesting kind of a thing that we've... I'm actually annoyed that I'm going to reveal a meme that we weren't really on to earlier. Go on, play. Intelligence to the head of the CIA, they were all in agreement. Listen. What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the US homeland in the next three to six months? High or low? Director Blair.

31:50 An attempted attack the priority is certain I would say mr. Panetta I would agree with that mr. Muller agree general Burgess yes ma'am I agree mr. Dinger yes killing to hell but hear those words meanwhile we instant rimshot.com John Okay, so they go down the line. I agree. Oh, yeah sure to folks. I miss like Snoop Dogg fo shizzle bitch You know that's gonna be that shit Jay-z So here's the thing that I realized that we have to be rethinking

32:32 Why doesn't she say, are we going to have an attack on America? Do you think we're going to have an attack on the US? Do you think we're going to have an attack in New York? No, it's an attack on the homeland. And they use the word homeland in this regard, instead of attack on America, attack on the US. What does this imply if you have a homeland? A homeland implies that you're part of an empire and that you're away from the homeland but you're always still in the empire so we have to go back to the homeland. And this homeland thing has become this incredible meme that's allowing us to actually think that the United States of America is a homeland in the sense of an empire. We're the United States of America, we're not the homeland.

33:21 This is like the fatherland, which it detaches us from our own country to use this word. And the fact that we have homeland security and all the rest of it I think is an extremely negative thing. And the fact that she would use it in this context tells me that she's completely out of it. Well not only that, it is complete neural programming. The last time the word homeland was used in this context was in German as the hinterland. Which was what Hitler called Germany. Hinterland is literally homeland. It is the exact same word. So I'll just make it even more evil for you. Okay, good work. No, but seriously. I mean, it's your issue. She is in front of these guys going, when do you expect to see an attack on the homeland? Yeah, I mean, that's what actually got me thinking about the usage here.

34:22 She doesn't say, would you like to, do you expect to see an attack on the United States of America or an attack on America? No, it's attack on the whole, you're going to see an attack on the homeland. I mean, this is really very sinister to be, and she's playing right into it, of course. Oh yes, here's our homeland. When are we going to come back? When are you going to fly to England and come back and the guys are welcome back to the homeland, sir. Well no, they'll be saying that at customs in the US. Welcome back to the homeland Mr. Curry. Enjoy your shopping experience. No, it is completely sinister. The whole idea of homeland security, which was set up by Bush by the way, who of course, his grandfather Prescott Bush financed the Nazis. I'll go as far as to say they've got some Nazi tendencies, the N-word.

35:17 You know, the whole idea of homeland is exactly that. It's to feel like you're a Reich. Well anyway, I found it annoying. No, it's beyond annoying and the question was leading. Instead of saying do you feel that we're in any danger, if you have these guys sitting there, why don't you say, tell me what do you think the danger is and where and in what time frame? Instead of that, I'm reading the script here and it says, well we're going to have another exploding rack chick Um, we've got to, we've got to, we have to feel up all their breasts. Um, yeah, uh, six months is the time frame. Do you think that'll happen in six months? Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

36:00 I'm seriously, I'm going to re-edit that. I'm going to put Snoop Dogg in there. I'm going to put Jay-Z in. I'm going to put David Letterman in. Besides that being a leading question, it's almost like one of those questions that pollsters ask that, you know, it lists a certain type of answer. What are they going to say? No. Then they get an invite. Well, when? Yeah, because if you say no and it happens, then you're fired. Then you're a D-word. So the thing, so, but what if she had said, asked an open-ended question, says, like for example, change the question, do you think there's going to be an incident within the next six months too? Do you think we can go 10 years without an incident? Yeah, there's an idea. There's a question. What would they say? You say, yeah, it's possible.

36:46 That's a lot different in effect than having this other answer. She could have done that, but she didn't. But she knows that she's going to be... She has to talk about the homeland. This woman is an... By the way, this woman is an idiot. She used to be in the air pollution control district on the board there that used to... The kangaroo court board they used to run. And she was one of the advisors to the thing when she was a city councilwoman. She never would have been anywhere in politics if somebody hadn't assassinated the mayor, George Moscone, and she took the job over and then warmed her way. We had a situation in the air pollution issue where the files in the file room where all the cases were kept in one room with, you know,

37:29 in folders this is when you were working for the uh... actors it inspectors would routinely wander in and i'd grab the folders limit their death they wouldn't check them out properly and there was always missing folders and you know so that so they decided the people of the women that worked in there who had to keep track of the stuff uh... they decided to put big chains across the doorway to keep people from wandering in and out and feinstein walks through the place one day looks at the chains And she makes the immediate assumption that it's got something to do with the women and she says, why are they locking those women in that room like that? This is unacceptable. And a big stink ensues. That's how stupid she is. Can I just say she's a retard? Well, you know what, the reason why all these guys know something is going to happen is spelled out perfectly by the Detroit News.

CHAPTER 11 / 26 Discussion

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Visa Controversy and Airport Security

Testimony from the State Department suggests that the "crotch bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab did not have his visa revoked because intelligence officials wanted to monitor a larger investigation. Meanwhile, Heathrow and Manchester airports have made body scans mandatory for all passengers. The effectiveness and privacy implications of these full-body images remain a point of contention.

abdulmutallab· state department· visa revocation· heathrow airport· body scanners

38:24 which has done some great work completely disseminating a lot of the C-SPAN footage and I'm not going to play it for you, but it's all in the show notes at noagendershow.com under the crotch bomber heading. There's this whole issue of revocation of the visas and during this testimony, because they actually did what we're doing, Nathan Hurst, who did a great job Listen closely to Patrick F. Kennedy's testimony as Undersecretary for Management at the State Department, not related to the, or at least not that I can find directly related to the Kennedys.

39:02 The reason why Abdul Muttalib's visa wasn't taken away is because intelligent officials asked his agency not to deny a visa because they wanted to foil a larger investigation. They didn't want to foil a larger investigation into Al-Qaeda threats against the United States, which of course completely explains the well-dressed, the sharp-dressed man, as we call him, who was with the crotch bomber as he was getting on board. So, you know, because they knew it. They knew that he was bad news. I don't think they necessarily knew about the crotch bomb. But take into account that the security footage from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which is full of cameras, has still not been released.

39:47 Because they know it's like they knew this guy was no good and they were following because they thought that they could get something bigger. So now they've got all kinds of Al-Qaeda chickies who've got dynamite racks and then they're just gonna let them on the planes. So it's a setup. So they know that something will happen. It doesn't necessarily mean a catastrophic event but will some air travel be in jeopardy? Yeah, probably. Yeah, well they need to do one more thing to ensure that they run these stupid scanners on people. Well it's already in the budget, it doesn't even matter. They're going to have a thousand of them. It's paid for, it's done, it's in. Yeah, but people are going to be moaning and groaning about it. Well guess what? In Gitmo Nation East, no scan, no flight at Heathrow and Manchester Airport. It is now mandatory. If you don't want to get scanned, you will not get on the airplane. Done. That's it. That's it.

40:54 Well, that sucks. The picture on this BBC News article, it looks kind of like you going through the scanner. It's kind of how I imagine it. Yeah, I have a big schwance. No, it's kind of one of those like you have big testicles and kind of like a little wormy thing. But there's also a butt shot and it's kind of the way I think your butt looks naked. Yeah? Yeah. Well formed, very shapely, muscular. Where's instantrimshot.com when you need it? Can you crack a walnut?

41:32 It's more like cottage cheese is what I'm thinking. No, no, I haven't got any of that problem. That I can assure you. So nice. All right. We got other stuff here. Yeah, please move on. Anyway, we're screwed. You'll be scanned at airports. Take the train. It's good for you. No security lines at the train, says General Electric. So I talked to you about this. I'm not gonna play get both these clips. I got one I got another one came up the same thing that's going on and I'm not gonna belabor this because I know how much you hate this topic. Oh, let me guess Keith Olbermann?

CHAPTER 12 / 26 Discussion

Keith Olbermann Criticism and Gays in the Military

Keith Olbermann is criticized for his aggressive tone and perceived lack of humor in recent broadcasts. The discussion transitions to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and the history of homosexual soldiers. Historical references to Alexander the Great's army are used to argue that sexual orientation does not impact a soldier's effectiveness.

keith olbermann· john mccain· don't ask don't tell· alexander the great· military history

42:09 Yeah, I hate talking about those D bags. Older man is like completely insane. He's talking in non sequiturs. He's saying things that make no sense. He did a thing against John McCain where I swear to God he's played McCain berating some general for trying to change the hotel. And McCain says, you know, the generals of the army people told me that it's working fine. We shouldn't change anything if that's what they say. And then Oberman comes on and says, no, this is a complete contradiction of what he said on this very network six months ago, a complete contradiction. And he plays another clip and he says basically the exact same thing. There's no contradiction. Well, the funny thing about all of this is that

42:55 You know, so the president in his State of the Union, I think he kind of surprised the generals who were standing there saying, hey, we're going to get rid of this don't ask, don't tell. It was like, what? What? I thought we already got rid of that. What are you talking about? Boy, don't do that. And confusing. Yeah. So now they say, well, OK, that's all right. You know what? We're going to do a study and it will take a year. It's like, how hard can it be? You know, it's like, what is the, it's like, they've been talking about this, when did Clinton put this in, 93? I don't know, I mean, all I know is that the fact is they could, what they need to study, all they do is ask around. Anyway. Yeah, really. So. What is your position on it, John? I don't know, I don't have a position on it one way or the other, I don't care. You don't, you don't. I mean, let's face it, Alexander the Great's army was all gay. Oh, really?

43:45 Yeah, pretty much. Alexander the Great's arm is notoriously gay, so the rape scenes must have been very interesting. They beat up a bunch of people. Wait a minute, how do you know this? This is a fairly well-known fact. Just study, go read Gibbons. I mean, you can read, actually Gibbons doesn't discuss it, but it's discussed on the History Channel. Anyway. Okay. They were basically all gay and they're all loaded on opium. Ecstasy. They're all on E. So wait a minute, so there's a bunch of hype type gay guys, that's why they're uniform, they had awesome looking outfits, that does explain a lot. They had all those feathers and stuff, is that it? Anyway, the point is you don't have to be straight or gay to be a good soldier. Exactly, exactly. But let me get back on the track.

44:29 Which was talking about Olbermann being kind of nutty and actually my son was interested in telling me that the younger people used to like Olbermann, nobody watches him anymore because they can't take him because he's not funny anymore. When he started doing the show he was actually humorous, now he's just mean. Wasn't he a comedian? I don't know who it was, the first I ever saw him was on SPN where he got fired for telling the management to stuff it. But anyway, let me finish where I was headed toward. So his protege is Rachel Maddow, and she is now at the point where the two of them I guess must hang out because their mannerisms are almost identical.

45:08 So, and the way they intone, everything is very similar. So anyway, so Maddow's gotten onto this kind of the same trend line of putting out weird non-sequitur material. And I wanna play this Rachel Maddow clip, which is, and I'm gonna explain what it is. She's got this new bit that she's dreamed at where she has some Republican, it's always a Republican, saying something. And then the R word, some Republican coming on, and then right at the end of their statement she has a big giant rubber stamp looking thing that hits the screen, turns the screen to black and white, and then the word wrong comes out. Wrong!

CHAPTER 13 / 26 Discussion

Rachel Maddow's Wrong Segment and Media Mind Control

Rachel Maddow's "Wrong" segment is analyzed as a form of media mind control that uses visual stamps to dismiss Republican viewpoints. A specific instance involving Lindsey Graham and Greta Van Susteren discussing legal defense strategies for terrorists is highlighted. Critics argue Maddow relies on White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' statements as absolute truth to "debunk" speculation.

44:29 Which was talking about Olbermann being kind of nutty and actually my son was interested in telling me that the younger people used to like Olbermann, nobody watches him anymore because they can't take him because he's not funny anymore. When he started doing the show he was actually humorous, now he's just mean. Wasn't he a comedian?

45:08 So, and the way they intone, everything is very similar. So anyway, so Maddow's gotten onto this kind of the same trend line of putting out weird non-sequitur material. And I wanna play this Rachel Maddow clip, which is, and I'm gonna explain what it is. She's got this new bit that she's dreamed at where she has some Republican, it's always a Republican, saying something. And then the R word, some Republican coming on, and then right at the end of their statement she has a big giant rubber stamp looking thing that hits the screen, turns the screen to black and white, and then the word wrong comes out. Wrong!

45:45 But the thing is, what they're saying wrong about, and I've got this clip that has two examples. It's like, it would go like this. So Adam, what are you gonna have for dinner tomorrow? I don't know. We haven't made up our minds yet. Wrong. It's not like a right or wrong thing I asked. And so I'm watching this going, what's wrong? They had the best example, which would be the second one coming up. Lindsey Graham and some other guy are talking about when they were lawyers. When I was a lawyer, we wouldn't have let this happen. We would have probably told the guy not to talk at all and just to keep his mouth shut. Wrong. Play this and tell me what I'm missing here. What's wrong with this woman?

46:33 Thirdly, they point out, even ignoring all of the precedents under the Bush administration where they did proceed in the same exact fashion, the fact is that he would have been accorded an attorney because he was arrested in the United States. So even if they had proceeded under military procedures, he would have had a lawyer who would have been telling him, if not the Miranda rights, not to talk. Well, they don't have a point there. You've asked me about six different questions in repeating the allegations that the White House has made. Look, the military detainee and trial system provides much more flexibility and would have allowed him to be questioned without a lawyer telling him what to reveal and what to conceal.

47:25 wrong oh my god that didn't say anything yellow now I'm finished on this gets is just as unbelievable wrong Andrea Mitchell just said that was wrong just ignoring all the evidence of your complete and total wrongness does not make you less wrong Senator Collins, for all of her astounding wrongness on this issue, is not the only Republican tripping and falling into the wrong in this political battle over the attempted Christmas Day bombing. Here, for example, is South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, along with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. And the two of them, I will warn you in advance, here are just plain making things up.

48:08 But the interesting thing is my prior life as a criminal defense lawyer, so in my look at this, either he got himself a deal right up front, a good deal, or he's got a lousy lawyer. And I understand his lawyer's good, so he must have gotten some deal. I used to be a military lawyer, a defense lawyer. I used to be a defense lawyer in the civilian world. Yeah, I wouldn't let my guy talk until I knew it was to his benefit. Wrong. Wrong? What is wrong? What did he say that was wrong? I used to be a lawyer. I wouldn't let my client talk. Wrong. Wrong. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to this particular reckless speculation in a statement today, saying in part, quote, Abdulmutallab has not been offered anything. The Department of Justice will take his cooperation into consideration. So she believes what Gibbs says? Is that what I'm- Yeah. So believe what- Yeah.

49:01 Here's here, let me let me breathe pray we kind of state what happened the guy from Fox or red of ancestors as well I used to be a defense attorney and I this guy's got a good lawyer So I asked assume the donor reason that this is going this way is because they probably made a deal and then Graham says yeah I used to be in the army and I used to get an attorney there and it it was me I would either tell the guy to shut up or unless they made a deal wrong which But that's not wrong, that's a speculation, but of course, Maddow has it as wrong and a wild crazy speculation that's somehow harmful. And then Gibbs, who doesn't really know what the hell is going on, makes some comment, so she backs him up. This woman has

49:43 It's mind control, John. But nobody's listening, watching this stuff anymore except me. No, no, no, we should look at the ratings. I'm sure someone's watching. I'm sure someone's watching. But I find it to be, it's like, wow, this is plain terrible. They're not digging anything up. But this is, they've resorted to, you know, these are the measures that they have to go to because no one is listening anymore. So maybe if we throw a big rubber stamp at your face in the screen, maybe you'll pay attention. Wrong. Oh, they must be wrong. And it's not hard to control people's opinions on television.

CHAPTER 14 / 26 Discussion

IRS Purchase of Remington Shotguns

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a solicitation on FedBizOpps to purchase Remington Model 870 Police 12-gauge pump-action shotguns. These weapons are intended for the Criminal Investigation Division. The move is questioned as an escalation of force for a tax collection agency that already possesses wage garnishment powers.

irs· remington 870· fedbizopps· shotguns· law enforcement

50:44 Or through television, it's just not hard. By the way- Well, it'd be nice if there was some consistency. I mean, if it wasn't just non-sequiturs, it wouldn't be such a problem. I don't see how it's affected the way that- No, I think- No, it's training just to get you accustomed to being wrong. Whatever. But anyway, I just find these two to be just a bit hidden skids. You know, it's like, but officer, I think I was doing 45. Wrong! I think I paid my taxes. Wrong! You know the IRS has commissioned some shotguns. Did you hear about that? No. Yeah, they're they can hear it as under federal business opportunities which is where you can at fedbizops.gov. I love that. Fedbizops.gov.

51:46 The Internal Revenue Service intends to purchase Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC Serial 24587 12-gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington Parkerized shotguns with 14-inch barrel modified choke Wilson combat ghost ring rear sight and XS4 contour bead front sight, Knox reduced recoil adjustable stock, and speed feed ribbed black forend are designated as the only shotguns authorized by the IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory.

52:24 So, uh, we can put a bid in, John. Yeah, well, if you never made shotguns, I would. But the IRS, I mean, okay, we may cheat on our taxes from time to time, but isn't the shotgun a bit, I mean, there's such a thing as wage garnishing, that usually gets people's attention. Yeah, wage garnishing works. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's like, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. It's like, huh? That's a little frightening. Yeah, well... They've got shotguns. 2300 years ago, men in Greece had wives, mistresses, and lovers of either gender. Alexander's father, Philip of Macedon, had male lovers and also many wives. A problem when... So, that's weird. When did that all change?

CHAPTER 15 / 26 Discussion

NCIS Los Angeles Vaccine Propaganda and Botulism

The television show NCIS: Los Angeles is accused of inserting pro-vaccine propaganda into its scripts, including a fictional vaccine for botulism. In reality, foodborne botulism is extremely rare in the U.S., with only about 30 cases annually. The segment concludes with a parody advertisement for "Crack," mocking the side-effect warnings found in pharmaceutical commercials.

ncis los angeles· vaccines· botulism· bioterrorism· propaganda

53:14 It all changed. When did we stop having lovers on both sides? That sounds like a beautiful time. Yeah, it sounds like it to you. No, I mean seriously, with just those nothing but loves? I don't know about these things. So, uh... Let's see You're homophobe. I wanted to play you I want you to go into the Swine flu mix I have kind of a follow-up. Oh, oh my goodness Yeah, we have to remind ourselves to follow up on some things because we're so ahead of the curve often on many of these topics that by the time everyone gets around to knowing that it's a hoax a scam and a ripoff and just playing wrong

53:57 We're already moved on to the next scam and we forget to take, I don't need credit for us being right, but hey. I think we caught it right at the very beginning, you called immediately. Then when we got to the adjuvant testing and all the rest of it is just all added up to being just a big phony scam And then when I saw Margaret Chan or Cho or whatever the hell her name is Chan Chan shows the comedian Who's an obvious moron of the World Health Organization? I realized that this there's this is something phony baloney going on here. Okay, so what you got? well

54:39 They're gonna start you know there I think you also stumbled onto another thing early on which nobody has yet to pick up on which is the vaccine Oh the fact that there's vaccines coming for everything for cocaine addiction for cigarette addiction although that's now in the form of Chantix It's going to be for roto virus. I mean the whole pipeline of these pharmaceutical companies is filled with vaccines because There is no rigorous testing process and it's much better to give people drugs when they're not actually sick. And you can make a lot of dough. So we have a couple clips here that are funny in their own right because they're from NCIS Los Angeles. Oh boy. Which is some of the worst television, especially for people who are fans of NCIS, which is a character driven drama. NCIS Los Angeles is just laughable.

55:34 And, but they, you know, it's apparently doing okay, but it's, you know, it's partnered, it's a big flick with a black guy and a white guy, and they're out doing, you know, solving crimes kind of, it's almost like a cop movie. But they slip in all kinds of interesting propaganda. Is this another Dick Wolf production? No, no, this is done by another group altogether. But most play Mossad NCIS clip, but I'm going to remind you that it's like It's almost door-to-door subtle propaganda that slipped into the script. Caribbean getaway. We do know some Assad agents that would gladly buy you an all-expense paid trip to Tel Aviv. Can you say shalom? Okay.

56:24 There is a rumor that the Dutchman is auctioning off the... Oh wow, the Dutchman? The Dutchman, yeah. Wow, so they've got the flying Dutchman who was on board with the crotch bomber. Okay, got that. ...toxin. Where? I don't know. You've come a long way to not know where you're going. I didn't say I was here for the auction. I said I heard rumors of it. I also heard of a rendezvous point. I imagine it could be some place where a would-be bidder could be picked up and taken to the proceedings. You ever meet the Dutchman? No, I told you this morning. Yeah, you know what? We got it. We want an address, we want code words, and we want everything else you've heard rumors about. What if the Dutchman's seen pictures of Ombudsman? He must have screened these guys. I'll go in as his muscle. I'm going to review the files, learn the history. His associates know it cold. I don't like this. I don't either, but no auctions today.

57:20 We don't have time to plan anything else besides I'm the only one who's been vaccinated for botulism. The seals are inoculated for everything except suicidal tendencies He knows I'm right or else he'd argue to go instead of me. I don't want either one. Yeah, wow Okay, I've been in vaccinated for botulism So I was watching this with JC and he looks it up immediately because there's no such Botox There's no such vaccination for botulism. There's an experimental drug that has some, may have some future use as a vaccine, but there's no way that there's anything out there.

57:57 You know it's propaganda. The propaganda is the is the vaccine, you know, you just get a vaccine. You know, they never know what will come in handy. The Dutch somehow are bad people. But we saw, I'll kick your ass because they're all totally corrupt and if they get ahold of you, they're going to kill you. And the Navy SEALs, by the way, have been vaccinated for everything. Yeah. The seals of the seals are a mean now that you know and I don't know how many Navy SEALs We have in our listenership probably one But you know Jesse Ventura plays this up to an extreme, you know And he's in his when he does his show he's a Navy SEAL and they've you know the tough guys and you know They're made that they're now meaned out as

58:40 You know the the James you know kind of a crew of James Bond type I don't know whatever happened to the Green Berets or the Rangers or those guys they don't get any Many no love at all love they're wrong and the seals that they get all of it now I play too because there's another just kind of a better and some more info in here Okay, hold on a second. Where are we? NCIA. Seals are inoculated for everything. They repeats it. Seals are inoculated for everything except suicidal tendencies. And he knows I'm right or else he'd argue to go instead of me. I don't want either one of you to go. Nate, relax. Sam's the best man for this job.

59:22 Besides what's the worst thing that could happen? Oh, I don't know. Let's see Sam gets made they kill him then you Kens in the other storm the place and the Dutchman releases the toxin killing all of you and half of Los Angeles which Wow so there's your bio terror shots, right? Oh Yeah, that's the question. Yeah, you got your boosters right you get your shots. Yeah, he does he give you booster shots shots I know so apparently there's not only a vaccine for botulism, but there's boosters that you need So in other words, you've had had this been going on for years. He wouldn't eat boosters So this is such a this is just an out-and-out lie now the fact of the matter is I don't mind that kind of thing if these shows are portrayed as what they apparently are which is science fiction

1:00:13 They're not. They're portrayed, they're produced as a cop drama. And I find it very offensive that they would have misinformation, so much misinformation in these scripts. No spray vaccine against botulism effective in first tests. Vaccine development for... Does your kid know how to Google? Hey Google, that's where we have the tests. Yeah, of course, you want to start... But how do you have your shot and then get boosters when they're still in the first stage of testing? It doesn't make any sense. No, of course it does because it's science fiction. It's a setup for the vaccines that are coming.

1:00:52 That seems very clear to me, John. And by the way, why the hell would anybody need a botulism vaccine for? Because... If you're opening up a can of tuna and the thing's about to blow up, don't eat it. But that's... That's what my mom always used to say. If there's like a bubble on the can, just throw it out. Don't eat it because it's got botulism. It'll kill you. Don't eat that. But this is what it is. It's like this. How many botulism cases? Here's a little subscription on Google. Look up how many botulism cases there are. How many fatal botulism incidents are there a year in the USA? OK, annual botulism cases in USA. OK.

1:01:40 There are three kinds of management problems cited in botulism case. Interesting. 30 cases. Here we go. Here it is. Foodborne botulism is so rare only about 30 cases are reported in the US each year. Almost all from home canned foods. There you go. There's your answer. There you have it. But there's a new drug out though which I saw advertised on Where was it? I think it was on Fox. Um, and it wasn't in Vaccine. I'm obviously stalling until the pre-roll. Until the pre-roll goes, is done. I hate, you know, when we're doing this show, we shouldn't have pre-rolls. There should be some way of killing them. Yeah, there should, oh here it is.

1:02:36 Do you sometimes feel irritable, restless, uneasy, sad, normal, or just plain not high? Maybe it's time to try crack. Crack may cause shivers, night terrors, gay for pay, heart palpitations, homicidal paranoia, or the sensation that you're on fire. Peeing blood and seeing friends' faces as talking skeletons are possible side effects of crack. People who use crack may also experience five to seven years in prison where brutal raping may occur. If you experience one or more of these side effects, consult your dealer. You may need more crack. Crack. Isn't it time you see what all the fuss is about?

CHAPTER 16 / 26 Discussion

No Agenda Funding Model and Global Listener Support

The show's value-for-value funding model is discussed, acknowledging donors from Ohio, India, Georgia, and Canada. A listener suggests that smokers could save money by rolling their own tobacco and donating the savings to the show. Listeners are encouraged to use stickers at toll plazas to promote the program and help reach the goal of a third weekly episode.

manoj kumar· stan salisbury· subscription· rolling tobacco· stickers

1:03:18 I like the consult your dealer you may need more crack. The funny thing of course you get the dog barking in the background and the music. Yeah, oh they nailed it. No rooster crow though you need a rooster crow folks if you're gonna do these things. Yeah if you're gonna have an effective drug commercial. Absolutely. Hey John we're way overdue here to talk about the financing for this program that we do twice a week. We've no one's really complaining about it but it seems like we're now At about two hours a pop. So in effect, we've almost kind of magically moved towards that third show just time wise because we have so much we want to talk about that we have to kind of cram it all into. It's pretty chatty. Well, let's thank the people who did give us some money and some support this week. And of course, we'll begin with the Stoneharrow men and

1:04:13 Ian Monroe and of course our brand new knight Andrew Green. Andrew Green our new knight. We also got $170 from Fred Lust in McCutchenville, Ohio. He sent no note which is fine. And we got two in a row, two 99.99s in a row. John of Listen existing monthly subscriber which we encourage everyone to be. This contribution is to prove Adam Wright and help get the third show up. As I was born on the 3rd of March in a year ending in three, I kind of felt obliged. So here's three times three, 33 dot 33. Tell Adam to cut down on the smoking. We need you guys healthy. And then curiously within the same time frame, like within an hour,

1:04:58 Joseph Lam in Eureka gave $99.99 with no real mathematical explanation, but he told us we should talk about wine more, which I have no objection to. Before you continue, just on the smoking tip, Robert Frapple says, Hi Adam, here's an idea. Get producers, that's you listeners out there, who smoke cigarettes to start rolling their own. And use some of the savings for a No Agenda subscription. Here's his calculation. Decent rolling machine is about $25, although you can learn how to roll yourself. A pound of quote pipe tobacco to avoid the tax and two cartons of filtered tubes cost $25. This is actually not rolling it in papers but in the pre-rolled papers.

1:05:43 That saves about $4 a pack, $1,400 a year for a pack a day smoker. NIDA says over 24% of Americans smoke 20% of an audience of 100,000 times $5 a month is over a million a year for no agenda. That's a lot of hookers and blow. I think it's a good idea. There's probably something to be said for rolling your own because the tobacco quality has to be superior to the chemically soaked commercial products. Formaldehyde, etc. Absolutely. Yeah. So, you know, if you're going to smoke, you might as well roll your own.

1:06:23 And then we got $100 from M-A-N-O-J Manoj Kumar, who is in Bangalore. I don't think we have many Indian listeners, but I'm glad he is. I don't know. $131.10 from Stan Salisbury in Stone Mountain, which is a coincidence, because we had a guy named Stone Harriman. Coincidence? I think not! What's going on, Georgia? And then a slew of $50 donors, including Matthew Wittering, Bedfordshire, Dean Chartier in Canada, Calgary. He's canceled the cable and we'll be sending that money to No Agenda, not wanting to be the No Agenda Witness Protection Program. You may use my name on the show, bring on the service.

1:07:17 Dean Chartier, Calgary, getting on north. Alan Bowes, Langley, but Langley, British Columbia. Oh, good. Leaving business cards around. I have to get a hold of him and see what he's up to with that. In other words, stickers, which we've advised people to do. Andrew Sawyer, Vancouver, BC, another Canadian, which is unusual. Cannon Research, Blythe, California. Brian Leslie Bremerton only gives he gave us the 333 but he I thought it was interesting that he said we should be pushing the 3333 all over the place which might be true Benson Dunstan in Kira Ville New South Wales and he has he says a blitz bunch of bad news from Australia's compelled me to donate again

1:08:05 Jason Carney of Columbus, Ohio, and he's a contractor that has a lot of good stuff. If you want to know about government contracts, he's a guy. And finally, Bill Gress. 5555 from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Which is, you know, kept us going this week. And what we'd like you all to do is, and of course we appreciate every donation, large and small, no matter what, please consider also signing up to one of our monthly subscriptions. I think we have $5 a month, $10 a month, and $30 a month. The lucky 30 the lucky 30 It really is important because that will eventually give us a base that we can draw from it's not very large right now But we do want to keep going and we we are really trying to move towards that lucky number third number three show in the week

1:09:01 I just got a sound clip in John, hold on a second. That's the Noragenda show.com, Dvorak.org slash NA and channeldvorak.com slash NA is where you want to go. I also want to encourage people to at least design some stickers and put them on the toll booths at the Entry at the toll plazas toll plazas where they have all these Stickers perfect timing did you hear Mickey's phone goes? It's she's perfect. It's like yeah, it's great. We need more phones ringing. Yeah, some phone sound effects So we sound like you know

1:09:42 Sorry. Boy, anyway, if you can get some and take a look at the stickers that are on the tollbooth, do a little study. You drive this. Look at the ones that are eye catching and clone those. Yeah. And we're watching no agenda show dot com on the state or somewhere. And this is a donate. Donate, that'd be good. There you go, that might be nice. Yeah, donate to noagendashow.com. Yeah, save a life. We've saved a couple on this show. We have a life of your own. Yeah, we have saved a couple of lives on this show. I'm very proud of that. Anyway, like I said, noagendashow.com. But help us out, we need, we got our three executive producers this week, but that's just for now. Yeah, we really need like 30 executive producers each week.

CHAPTER 17 / 26 Discussion

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and Cash Requests

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are leading fundraising efforts for Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. Critics point out that the funds are being directed into their existing foundations rather than a new, dedicated Haiti fund. George W. Bush's blunt request for "just cash" instead of blankets or water is highlighted as controversial.

bill clinton· george w. bush· haiti· earthquake relief· fundraising

1:10:29 And by the way, I would love to spend the first part of the show thanking 30 executive producers. It would be so nice. We had such a good time the other day with looking at Bush and Clinton as they were named by the President of the United States as the guys who were going to take all your money and fix Haiti. And of course during that President Bush said these legendary words, shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity. And shysters show up. Well, but wait, there's more, John. This is, I think it's from the same day, not necessarily the same interview. Remember now that the Clinton Bush for Haiti dot org fund

1:11:22 is not actually a fund, it does not exist. They are putting their money into the William J. the William Jefferson Clinton Fund and Bush's Texas Fund. Collectively they already hold a billion dollars in assets. The payroll for the Clinton Foundation is 30 million dollars a year. And we've gotten more than a few emails from people just freaking out over that. Yeah, but here's their latest. So remember now, we want your money for Haiti, just for Haiti. And President Obama himself appointed two former presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to oversee the total U.S. rescue effort.

1:12:03 Clinton and Bush both made it clear what Haiti needs most, namely cash. Now right now, all we need from people, if you can't be part of a medical team or a search and rescue team, we just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash. Bush is amazing. Bush is like this geister. By the way, before we finish the plea, I forgot to mention one name. Okay. Which is Peter Niesink. Did you say Peter Niesink? Yeah, Peter Niesink gave us $55 from the Netherlands and he challenged me to pronounce his name correctly. How do you spell it? I'm going to ask you objectively. Yeah, spell the name so I know for sure. P-I-E-T-E-R N-I-E-S-S-I-N-K Say it again. Peter Niesink. Perfect.

1:13:03 Perfect. There you have it. Alright, Peter, thank you very much for your donation and remember folks, I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water, just send your cash. Just send your cash. We need cash. Send your cash. That guy is an idiot. Unbelievable. Just send your cash. All we want is your cash. There's a lot of amazing news about Haiti. President Clinton has now been named officially by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations to oversee the aid efforts in Haiti. As well as the special envoy for the UN anyway, so he might as well. But he's now been, and there's a little picture of them and they're shaking hands and he is, his responsibility.

CHAPTER 18 / 26 Discussion

Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Haiti

Scientology "Volunteer Ministers" in yellow shirts reportedly gained access to Haiti, where they offered "healing massages" to earthquake victims. Medical professionals complained that the group interfered with hospital operations, including giving food to patients scheduled for surgery. The ease with which the group entered the country contrasted with the difficulties faced by established aid organizations like Doctors Without Borders.

scientology· haiti· port-au-prince· medical aid· gawker

1:13:55 for earthquake ravaged Haiti charging him with overseeing aid efforts as well as reconstruction. That's right. Assume a leadership role in coordinating international aid efforts such as, hopefully you saw this one John, such as the Scientologists who were in Haiti. Did you see this? No, tell me. Oh my god, this is amazing. So, They can't get, you know, the word is, oh we can't get any planes in, you know, doctors without borders are being turned away. And no, here we're, I got it, this is actually from Gawker which blew me away. So this is, here he is. This is a group of Scientologists who are all wearing yellow shirts that says Scientology Volunteer Minister.

1:14:50 They got into Haiti somehow wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats and stuff, and they're in the hospitals giving people healing massages. There's people with arms and legs chopped off. And they're giving them healing massages. They'd leave the tent, come into the general hospital downtown and try healing people. One of the doctors and one of the nurses told me that the wounded starting up to them to tell them they didn't want to be treated by the people in the yellow shirts. Keep them away from me. One nurse told me the Scientologists actually caused harm. They gave food to people who were scheduled to go into surgery which led to complications in the operating theater.

1:15:31 It was unbelievable that the Scientologists with all their rich connections were able to get into Haiti and they're just in the way giving people healing massages with these crazy kooky yellow t-shirts that said with the big letters Scientology volunteer minister. Well, the scandal here is the fact that the other people are being turned away. Of course it is. Of course it is. And Clinton, of course, is probably flying in and out. And by the way, did we talk about it on the show or did we talk about it offline about the length of that runway and the fact that anything I mean a C5A galaxy could land at that airport.

1:16:20 at MTPP, which is Port-au-Prince Airport. Here it is. You've done a good job. The government of Haiti has asked the United States to manage the flow at the airport. While there are 800 to 1,000 planes that are trying to land there, you should know that on the day before the earthquake, only 10 or 12 planes landed at the Port-au-Prince Airport. Now they land more than 100 every day on basically what is a big one-lane airport. You know, it's like he makes it sound like it's a dirt road. It's 10,000 feet, which is enough to land an Antonov. It won't take 225. An Antonov 225, the biggest plane in the world with six engines, needs 11,000 feet.

1:17:02 By the way, there's only one Antonov 225 that's ever been manufactured and God knows where it is. Just go to Google Earth and type in Port-au-Prince Airport. It's not a small airport and there's plenty of room to park planes. It's not, okay, it's not ideal for rescue operations, no doubt about it, but he makes it sound like, ooh, this little puny, I mean, look, LaGuardia only has two runways. Heathrow only has two runways. You know, it's not like incredibly small, it's not some dirt road. So it's just, it's poor posturing. Yeah, I know, we were misled by the media about that. No, you don't say.

CHAPTER 19 / 26 Discussion

Commando Solo Psychological Operations over Haiti

The U.S. Air Force is utilizing "Commando Solo" aircraft to broadcast Voice of America programming and public service announcements over Haiti. These modified C-130s use long trailing wire antennas to transmit AM and FM signals. The broadcasts include warnings to Haitians not to attempt illegal ocean crossings to Florida.

commando solo· c-130· voice of america· psychological operations· haiti

1:17:48 And then here's something really kind of crazy. The Dutchman. The Dutchman. There's, let me see if I have this audio. So the ham radio operators are all over what's going on and there's this plane, here it is, Commando Solo. Have you heard of this, Commando Solo? No. So Commando Solo is a Available to... it's an airplane, it's a C-130 I believe. Available to commanders for localizing targeting of specific avenues of communication. Commando Solo conducts psychological operation and civilian affairs broadcast missions in the standard AM, FM, HF, TV, and military communications bands. Missions are flown at the maximum altitudes possible to ensure optimum propagation patterns.

1:18:46 These modified C-130Es provide broadcasting capabilities primarily for psychological operation missions. So they've got these things flying over Haiti and they're broadcasting the voice of America, which is weird. Do we know that that's all they're broadcasting? No, we don't know that's all they're broadcasting. I'm actually... I can't find the clip. Where is it? Here it is, This Week in Amateur Radio. Let me just see if I can find the... It was like at 11 minutes or something. Hold on, let me just check. You can actually hear the report on this thing. It is one of several Mars networks that... Well, that's not it. During LULZ and the VOA program... Yeah. ...continues our exclusive coverage of the state of communications in Haiti. Andre?

1:19:41 60 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, an Air Force C-130 makes slow and lazy ovals over the Gulf de la Gonzova, a weighted wire dangling from its belly like a plumb line. The U.S. Air Force C-130 flies slowly over the island nation, trailing a 264-foot vertical wire as an AM antenna. At the end of the wire is a 500-pound weight to keep the wire vertical. Four other antennas on the wings and the fuselage transmit FM signals. This is Commando Solo, the flying radio station in the sky. The U.S. government is using Commando Solo to deliver news and information to the survivors of the January 12th earthquake. During much of the day, the plane relays live broadcasts of Voice of America news call-in shows in Creole, the native tongue of Haiti.

1:20:30 During lulls in the VOA programming, it sends pre-recorded public service announcements, including advice on sanitation, what to do when encountering a dead body, and a warning from the Haitian government not to attempt dangerous and illegal ocean crossings to Florida in small boats. Is this a robot talking? That's how ham operators usually talk. I don't think it's a robot. So, you know, don't leave. Don't leave the island. Don't get in a boat. Stay where you are. Burn your dead. I just find that kind of creepy. And by the way, Port- Totally creepy. Port-a-Prince, you know, you could just stick an aerial in the, on a, on a, on a mountaintop. You don't need the plane flying overhead necessarily, I don't think. Not for an AM broadcast.

Simon Cowell's Haiti Charity Single and Miley Cyrus

Music mogul Simon Cowell organized an all-star cover of REM's "Everybody Hurts" to raise money for Haiti. The track features numerous pop stars, including Miley Cyrus. A controversy regarding Cyrus's vocal performance and whether her microphone was "live" during recording sessions is addressed, with a focus on the nature of viral hoaxes.

simon cowell· miley cyrus· rem· charity single· everybody hurts

1:21:22 I don't know, that's kind of weird. There's something up with that. We have to look into this. Well, there you go. The ham operators are definitely looking into it for us. Good. And of course, we can't wait, John, only three more days. The all-star single organized by music mogul Simon Cowell, recorded this week to raise money for the Haiti earthquake appeal, the cover of REM's 1993 hit Everybody Hurts, featuring vocal contributions from Jon Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Susan Boyle,

1:21:58 Leona Lewis, Alexander Burke, JLS, Miley Cyrus, take that, Westlife, James Blunt, James Morrison and Mika. Talking about Miley Cyrus. Yeah, what a controversy that is, huh? Well, you're the one that brought the clip on, what, tell us the story, what do you know? So, um, I played the clip on the Last Know Agenda, uh, which as far as I know is wild sound So that's not the broadcast. There's basically two YouTube clips. One is where you hear the track, the record, and she's just, you know, her mic is not on at all. And the other one is where I believe, I still believe it is the wild sound from her microphone. But why would they have the mic on at all? Whoa, you're crapping out there, Johnny boy. You still with me? Huh? Yeah, you're back. Why would they have the mic on at all? It makes no sense. Well, the...

1:22:57 What do you mean it makes no sense? Of course there... What do you want the mic on for? You're just mouthing the song. Because, because when you're... No, she's not mouthing, she's actually singing and you need to have this sound coming through the monitors if you're even going to attempt to look like you're really singing. It's okay, a lot of people say it's fake. No one has actually claimed this as far as I'm concerned. As far as I can tell, and I've done the research because people are calling me out! You know, of all the news that we bring to you, of everything that we, every single program we bring, if the most important thing is, man, that's wrong, there's a hoax, man, you're completely wrong, I'm Miley Cyrus! But when it comes to earthquake machines, everyone's like, yeah, he's probably right. You know, so okay, it's like fine. Earthquake machines don't let you slide on that. Yeah, it's like no problem. But Miley Cyrus, no way, dude. Oh no, you can't mess with Miley Cyrus. So maybe I was wrong. All right, no harm, no foul, I say. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

CHAPTER 21 / 26 Discussion

Stevia Sweetener Market and High Fructose Corn Syrup

The sweetener market is shifting toward Stevia, a natural plant-based substitute being promoted by Cargill and PepsiCo under the brand Truvia. This move follows historical bans on Stevia that some believe were intended to protect the aspartame market. Meanwhile, the high fructose corn syrup industry faces potential legal threats similar to the asbestos industry due to health concerns.

stevia· cargill· pepsico· high fructose corn syrup· adm

1:24:01 That's about time you got your comeuppance. Yes, um, you know I was talking about the the sugar crisis and our listeners and producers of course are right on the sugar crisis tip because of course, you know, there's a We were thinking Monsanto. Oh, no, no, no, no It's not Monsanto. The company is Marisant Marisant is coming out with the brand new sweetener Yes, now Marisont was a company that did, what did they do? They did Equal I think and they went bankrupt and they were brought out of bankruptcy last year, almost exactly a little over a year ago, December 2009 and they're coming out with this, they've already teamed up with PepsiCo

1:25:04 And it's called, the substance is called stevia. I think that's how you pronounce it. S-T-E-V-I-A. Stevia. Contains no calories. It's natural. It also happens to taste like licorice. Ha! Yeah. Alright, before you go on. So I've gone to the stevia thing about two or three years ago. Stevia is a plant, I think it's grown in the middle of the low-era South America. And the leaves, if you chew on it, it has a slight sweet aftertaste. And apparently you can get powder off of this stuff and you can use it as a sweetener or liquid. You can buy this, any health food store has this stuff already.

1:25:48 The stuff tastes like crap. The licorice thing they're referring to is essentially the bitter aftertaste. And it's used as a sweetener in parts of the Southern River where they don't have sugar cane, which is I guess up in the mountains or something, places like that. I don't see this being the, this is not gonna fly. There's something amiss with this entire story. Stevia is not Oh, by the way, here's the other thing. When I first started reading about stevia, there was a bunch of apparently the USDA or somebody or the FDA or somebody were banning it. So you couldn't bring it in. It was only brought in the United States recently, supposedly. And so the stuff is somewhat controversial to begin with. But I can tell you from experience, this stuff's not that good. I don't like it. Well, food processors

1:26:32 who've been working with Cargill. So these are really the people who brought her out of bankruptcy. And Cargill, wasn't there some controversy around Cargill a while ago? I don't know. They're adding it to all of their ingredients. In December, Truvia, which is the brand name for them of Stevia, captured 58% of retail sales in the Stevia sweetener market. So, as long as they're putting it in there, we might as well investigate what it is. And if you say it's just the plant, okay, maybe not that bad. Maybe it's not genetically modified, maybe it's all fine, but it sure ain't sugar.

1:27:10 No, but it's been used historically for a long time as a natural sugar substitute. So it doesn't concern me. I still think if you're gonna use, you want sugar, I mean there's also a honey you can use which isn't sugar either. Yeah, why don't we use that? Honey has all kinds of magical properties, doesn't it? Well, honey also has a lot of things that don't allow certain things to set up, like I think in baking, it's been kind of baking that honey will keep things from actually setting. Makes a mess when you cook with it. I think at least in some some situation somebody out there on those a baker well anyway So I think the setup is nice though. They've the we we do have enough evidence to see that There's an artificial sugar crisis that has been created and poop incomes this new stuff which is now apparently being thrown into everything This is not work

1:28:03 We'll follow it. I didn't know that this was going on. I didn't know this new stuff from these guys was Just stevia. I'm gonna I'm looking here at oh, of course so they banned stevia because they wanted to push aspartame at the time that was a Donald Rumsfeld. Oh right, that was Rumsfeld's product, so that would happen. Yeah, so let me see, here it is. Health concerns and political controversies have limited Stevia's availability in many countries. For example, the United States banned it in the early 1990s, unless labeled as a supplement, but in 2008 approved Ribodioside A extract as a food additive. Additive, sorry.

1:28:49 So, what is it? Let's see, Stevia health concerns. Hold on. Stevia health concerns. There must be something. Is Stevia safe? Risk of sucralose. That doesn't make any sense, does it? No, I'm telling you, I couldn't find anything bad about the stuff except the fact that it tastes crappy. Well, that would be a reason not to use it. But Pepsi's apparently going to be putting it in all their products. I don't know what Pepsi's thinking. First they go with this natural thing that won't give us the numbers of is it selling well or not, whether it be the sugared Pepsi as opposed to the high fructose corn syrup. We get, by the way, a lot of mail from people complaining about our stance on high fructose corn syrup, soybean, rapeseed oil, the whole thing. We're not changing our position on any of this stuff.

1:29:43 No matter, I mean you could go on and go, you know, it's the same. No, there's a lot of documentation coming in on a daily basis. A lot of it gets squashed, especially about high fructose corn syrup. causing obesity, diabetes and everything in between. And they said when this thing eventually breaks, we're gonna be looking at a Johns Mansville situation where the company is basically put out of business by lawsuits. And I can guarantee if anybody really starts to document this thing where you get some one lawsuit to pass, it's like cigarette, you know, they've been resisting, hopefully God, nobody proves cigarettes cause cancer. When the damn breaks,

1:30:19 Companies are gonna go out of business and Archer Midlands, McDaniel, whatever they are, Archer Daniel Midlands is one of the companies that's under... Investigation, suspicion. Suspicion. Suspicion. They could, just go look at the history of John Mansville's corporation, huge company. Bestos lawsuits bankrupted them. Right well, but ADM of course it has the fix in they sponsor so many PBS programs and NPR national treasures that they're not gonna really get nailed for anything because that's what that company does if you've not seen the informant

1:30:55 then read the book, that is exactly how they, it's the whole story of how they even had an inside guy blowing the whistle on them, but because of all the political and basically financial connections, they were able to get out of it. And then they got away no problem whatsoever. Yeah, it catches up to you. Talking about PBS, I have a clip called PBS Frontline Crap. I wonder what that was about.

CHAPTER 22 / 26 Discussion

PBS Frontline Digital Nation Critique

A recent PBS Frontline episode titled "Digital Nation" is criticized for providing lame analysis and focusing on obscure internet trends like "Feed Me Bubby." The program's coverage of Second Life and World of Warcraft is described as missing the reality of those platforms, particularly the prevalence of sexual fantasies in virtual worlds.

pbs frontline· digital nation· second life· world of warcraft· blogging

1:31:41 But it was just basically loaded with bad information. It was poorly reported. It was probably the worst front line I've ever seen. It had misinformation. It had lame analysis. It had... I got two clips from this thing. Play this PBS front lane crap. Satan warrior princess. I deleted her. I deleted her sister. Stories of romance. I deleted her three best friends. And struggles with privacy. I ended up taking it down, but now I sort of feel like I have to censor sometimes what I say with my family. Whereas before, like, the minute that I felt something, I would just type it out. But now that I know that, like, people are watching me,

1:32:28 So check this one out. But one of the most irresistible stories was this one. Let me tell you this. I never knew what blogging was on Twitter. or any of these fancy things, do you know I'm becoming an expert? It turned out that an 83-year-old woman and her grandson have a hit online cooking show called Feed Me Bubby. Bubby, what's today's Yiddish word? Today's Yiddish word is bubby, meaning grandmother. Bubby cooks, and her grandson, Avran, does everything else. Hey, you know, that's such a hit. I watch it all the time. You know, I never heard of this show. We looked it up. We found it gets like 7,000 page views a month or something. It wasn't any sort of hit whatsoever, but I'm sure the numbers went way up after this crappy show. But some old lady, you know, I don't know anything about the internet, but people are reading my recipes.

1:33:22 And the... Hey, wait a minute! That's a new tech grouch! We can do the Cooking Granny! It's a good one. Mark that down. The Cooking Granny grouch. Cooking Granny grouch. And this whole entire show was filled with this kind of bogus information that is a big one. I mean, they could have done... I hate to say it, but they could have tracked down Leo Laporte and got real, you know, data. But no, they're going to just dream up all this crazy stuff that's got nothing to do with anything. They emphasize mostly Facebook and Twitter and World of Warcraft. And in fact, if you play the second clip, which is W. O. W. Second Life, you don't have to spell everything out. There's only six clips. I think I can figure out which one, John. Oh, he's mad at me. I'm closer to my online friends than anybody in real life.

1:34:12 The relationships people forge in these games seem to have a particularly intense quality. It's not uncommon for in-game romances to migrate to real life, even lead to marriage. Evidently almost a third of female players have met a romantic partner inside the game You know we went out and had dates in real life, but to me. I'm always going to consider my first date the time when He broke into a castle to come meet me. I just thought it was so romantic All right, can I just say something quickly before you go off?

1:34:57 Second life is all about sex. You've got sex balls, sex toys, sex rooms. It's all about living out your lurid fantasies. You've got furries in there. It's completely all, no matter what anyone tells you, and when second life came out, I was in there for weeks on end until I finally came to the discovery, wait a minute, it's all about sex. That's all that it's about. It's just about sexual fantasies. Then of course some of that spills over into real life and that's why it's actually popular. So it's about sexual fantasies. Now, I have a theory about all of this that's taking place in these stories but I'd like to hear your take first. I have no take, I just thought it was stupid. Okay, so last night Mickey and I were talking. So you know, is there any chance in hell that

Internet Freedom and the No Agenda Militia

The internet is identified as the primary tool for bypassing mainstream media and global government agendas. System administrators and hackers are viewed as the defenders of this information flow against lawmakers attempting to shut it down under the guise of child safety. A "No Agenda Militia" of tech-savvy listeners is proposed to support the show's mission.

new world order· al gore· unix· sysadmins· internet censorship

1:35:51 You know in our lifetime John you and I that we can actually do anything to change the direction that the world is going in the new world order the global government you know basically this has been happening for thousands of years the rich people screw the poor people and they make off with all their goods. And so then you know we've got this huge financial bubble that's that's blowing up again And we will have hyperinflation and all the bankers everyone's getting their money now, and then when you go bankrupt It's a timing in game you go bankrupt they buy up your crap your land your house your car Whatever it is and then the money explodes and then you know I have a hundred trillion dollars in Bob way note here on my wall it does happen You know it happens a little quicker in a small

1:36:38 country like Zimbabwe, but it does happen and I do believe that we're on track for that to happen in the Western world. You know, bad things just happen in the world. Like, World War II was only 60 years ago, so you know, bad stuff happens. The only chance we have, ironically, was invented by Al Gore, which is the internet. So we have an opportunity here, what John and I are doing with no agenda, is we are making people aware of some of the things that are going on that do not involve watching the ballgame, going to see Avatar, drinking a beer, swallowing your Pristik drugs,

1:37:19 you know, there is other stuff happening and it's because of the internet that we're able to communicate amongst each other outside of the mainstream channels. This is what they never saw coming. And by the way, it's Unix sysadministrators. You know what these guys look like. They're typically a little bit overweight. They've got their butt crack showing through their jeans. They've got the really long, nicely brushed hair. These guys built this stuff and they were very smart in doing it for us and you can't just take it down other than by having the nanny state come in, tell you that it's all bad for you, it's going to hurt your children, we're going to arrest you because you're downloading music and movies. You can't have flat chested women depicted because that's illegal and it's all about kiddie porn and save the children and they're trying to shut it down. Technically, they cannot. The hackers will save the day on the technical issue. It's the lawmakers who are trying to bring it all down and shut us off from the information.

1:38:17 things like this very program that are bringing you a different. form of bits, information that is beyond what Rachel Manno spews out, which we all know is just plain wrong. And that's why this is happening. Okay, get it. The pet peeve theme. Get it. Yeah, I'm so... John C. DuBorac's Pet Peeve of the Day. I'm gonna do my pet peeve this week. Thank you. I appreciate it. There's one more thing I'd like to say. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just send your cash. Alright, we're being screwed, people. Hey, a little correction from Andrew Bean. Adam, you mentioned New Mexico's age of consent for sexual activity. It is 17 years of age for heterosexual activity, however, 13 for homosexual activity.

1:39:07 Homosexual sex is illegal in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Homosexual relations are illegal in the military as are most sexual positions between heterosexual couples. I kid you not, when I was in the Army I sat through a seminar that pretty much said only missionary style was accepted. You have to be 20 to have sex in Tunisia and 21 in Madagascar. In Burkina Faso, you have to be 13 for hetero but 21 for homosexual. Just an update and a no agenda sex tip. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, it's great stuff. Now, can we just...

ClimateGate Developments and Philip Drew Administrator

European media outlets like the Telegraph are reporting on flaws in IPCC climate data, including errors regarding Himalayan glaciers. The discussion also introduces the 1912 novel "Philip Drew: Administrator" by Edward Mandel House. The book, which outlines a futuristic democratic civil war in the U.S., is noted for its influence on political thought.

climate gate· ipcc· telegraph· edward mandel house· philip drew

1:39:52 hit climate gate really really quickly because I do want to I don't want to take credit but I do feel it's important that we you know that we just basically say hey we told you so. So I just want to start by saying that this morning I woke up and I received probably 25 emails from people from Gitmo Nation Lowlands in the Netherlands. And this is weird the way media sometimes works, but the main rag, the main newspaper, the USA Today, the state-controlled paper, the Telegraaf...

1:40:29 published an article of course what we've been all over about the the the reduction in temperature measurement stations about the Himalayan report being based upon a high school students dissertation I'm paraphrasing obviously and all And all of a sudden, they're going like, hey, wow, man, hey, look. And some politicians said, you know, this is bull crap. We should send the federales over to the IPCC and have this shit really looked at. You know, I was talking about sending armed federal agents to the IPCC. And now all of a sudden, everyone's like, oh, wait a minute, this is crap. And now they're calling out the minister, I forget her name. She's one of those reptilian women.

1:41:15 And so there's definitely some knowledge being disseminated because once it's in the Telegraph then of course it's true, so I'm not quite sure how it slipped through or why it slipped through. But now they are talking about actual arrests for some of these scientists, particularly over in the UK. I think that would be cool. I think it's highly necessary. Yeah, and I think they might have to do this. You know Tony Blair has been on trial. No one's talking about it for Watching the trial by the way yeah for sending only the preliminary hearings the actual trial if there's going to be one They hint about it quite a bit during the hearings, but they haven't actually done anything which of course would be in the Netherlands it would be at the International Criminal Court in the Hague so

1:42:06 But it would be kind of... By the way, this is available to watch on C-SPAN. Yes it is. Yes it is. And, where is it? I can't wait until the iPad comes out, because then I can actually put all my jingles onto the screen. I don't want to brag about it. I could put all of my jingles on the screen. Actually, use the word gripe. I believe John you've certainly heard of this. I've just downloaded it because it's available on Gutenberg.org which is the open source non or no longer copyrighted book service which is just fantastic if you want to get great books you

1:42:59 You can download them in all kinds of formats. You don't need a Kindle. The book is called Philip Drew Administrator, A Story of Tomorrow. Have you heard of this book? No. Really? I'm surprised by that. No, you shouldn't be. It was published in 1912. It's a futuristic political novel published anonymously. by Edward Mandel House, an American diplomat, politician and presidential foreign policy advisor. His book's hero leads the democratic Western US in a civil war against the plutocratic East, and he becomes the dictator of America. Drew as dictator imposes a series of reforms that resemble the Bull Moose platform of 1912.

1:43:47 Are you familiar with that? Yeah, of course. That's what Teddy Roosevelt ran under. Well, tell me what is that? Teddy Roosevelt was kicked out of the Republican Party basically because they wouldn't re-nominate him to run for president. So he formed his own party. It's a third party. Essentially, think Ross Perot. Okay, so that's why you almost won by the way, but he didn't that's why people are recommending I read it So I will be reading this and I shall report back. The good news is we could all read it together There's a link in the show notes at Noah does no agenda show calm good. Yes Okay, you're done with the swine flu minute I mean, yeah, let's close the gate I

State IQ Rankings and California Education

A chart comparing state IQ scores, religiosity, and political leanings is analyzed. California is noted for having a lower average IQ than many other states, which is attributed to a failing education system. The data suggests that states like Minnesota and North Dakota rank among the highest in intelligence, while Southern states rank highest in religiosity.

iq scores· mississippi· california· education system· religiosity

1:44:32 So there's a chart going around which we blogged, which I find highly amusing. It's a good Dvorak dot org slash blog and see how you'd find it on the search engine. The title of the post is How Religious Is Your State? Oh yes, I've seen this. Yeah. But what I was, I mean the religious part is it falls apart a little bit here and there because you know they say that everybody's, you know, you got dummies. All the dummies are religious and all the dummies have a, you know, just it's trying to prove that, you know, they're all Republicans and they're all dummies and religious. They're retards.

1:45:13 That's not what it shows me. I look at this chart differently. For one thing, the average IQ of a state should be 100 because that's the average IQ, supposedly, of the general population. So you have some states that are smarter and some states that are dumber. California turns out to be second only. Mississippi in being dumb. Now California's average IQ is 96 which is exactly the same as Alabama. I take it back there's also Louisiana 95 Alabama New Mexico Louisiana California and Hawaii Are the dumbest states with California being there 96 and California very liberal state and shows that on this thing, too So there's obviously there may be a connection that you or no, but whatever the case I find it very very disturbing that California's extremely

1:46:08 state in the bottom, you know, five. Tied for third, you know, kind of as dumb. The smart states, by the way, are Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota at 104, 104 is a high number at Minnesota and North Dakota. Then Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont also coming at 104, Maine at 103, Washington at 102. And we still have California at 96. Wow. Now does that fluctuate when you move, when you go up to Port Angeles? Does the number then change? Does it jump all of a sudden? No, it jumps. It goes, the number when I leave the state, it goes down to 40.

1:46:57 I mean, yeah, you can try to work the joke in there, but I just find it distressing. And of course, the curious thing again is that they try to make, and by the way, California is very low on the religiosity indexes. We're at 57. I mean, the lowest they did apparently were nobody's religious is Vermont, which I find hard to believe. The bottom of the list is Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine, and Alaska. They're not religious states compared to the top religious states, which is Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, generally states in the south. California's right in the, below the middle. So we have, we're dumb, we don't believe in religion, and we have, we're liberal, and we have a lot of crime. Fantastic. It is embedded though, you know that?

1:47:42 We what? Wyoming is at 102, California is at 96. Then we're dumb, we're a bunch of dumbasses. We are, here it comes, retards! I'm just gonna keep saying that word. Alright. Until I get called out by Tim. Tim? Tim Schreiber. For you buddy. Tim Schreiber, yeah. He's a really nice guy by the way. His wife is lovely. But they're broke. It doesn't matter. So are we. Hey, I seem to have hit on a chord here. The chat room, which of course probably is filled with a good number of the people who will save the world, i.e. the the sysadmins. These are the guys that speak BGP in their sleep. They're all like, yeah, hell yeah. They want to be called NAM, the No Agenda Militia.

1:48:36 Mmm, so I think that might say find them useful. Yes, I think well you know what I'll tell you man if I if I want someone on my side It's gonna be the sysadmin It's gonna be these guys who really know the routing who understand don't understand all the ins and the outs Of course there's also the evil side of that the guys who created the the flash trading for Goldman Sachs But yeah, that's alright. We can we don't have to bother with a cage and tortured for all you know What's that? They may have been caged and tortured for all you know. That's very possible. Well a couple of people listen to the show, Prolific Programmer, he works at Goldman. Yeah he does. So Alaska's IQ is 99, it's better than California's. Yeah, well why do I care? Why are you still on this? I'm obsessed with this. Why?

1:49:28 I didn't realize how dumb we are in California because we have the worst education system in the world. The University of California has decided that instead of like well maybe educating Californians they rather educate people from China. Right, that's a good point. I have told you that when you fly in the general Northern California airspace and you listen to the radio it's all Chinese. And their radio work, of course, is atrocious because you can't understand half of what they're saying. But essentially, they come in to get their license here, which is pretty crazy. Yeah.

Carly Fiorina's Demon Sheep Political Ad

Carly Fiorina's campaign for the California Senate released a controversial advertisement featuring a "demon sheep" to attack opponent Tom Campbell. The ad, which labels Campbell a "fiscal conservative in name only," is criticized for its bizarre imagery and length. Fiorina's past leadership at Hewlett-Packard is also mentioned in the context of her political aspirations.
