About this episode

President Barack Obama’s unannounced flight to Afghanistan serves as a potential smoke screen for a clandestine diplomatic summit in China. Discrepancies in Reuters reporting and the sudden delay of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s currency report suggest Air Force One’s true destination was a secret meeting with CCP leadership. This maneuver coincides with the Apple iPad launch at The Grove, where Steve Wozniak and Robert Scoble joined lines to witness the debut of a product marketed through carefully manufactured scarcity.

Global governance takes center stage as French President Nicolas Sarkozy calls for a new monetary order and the expansion of the UN Security Council to include regional powers like Brazil and Nigeria. In the United States, the FCC National Broadband Plan proposes a digital public media infrastructure that critics label a Ministry of Truth, while the EPA prepares to rebrand carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant to justify new federal taxes. Meanwhile, the TSA faces scrutiny for using full-body scanners to detect narcotics rather than weapons, and the Boy Scouts of America grapple with the revelation of twenty thousand pages of documented abuse in their perversion files.

European Council President Herman Van Rompuy earns the nickname Haiku Herman for his cryptic poetry, which some interpret as a coded language for the new world order. The episode features a formal knighting ceremony for Sir John Traynor and CB in Tokyo, while Congressman Phil Hare openly dismisses constitutional concerns regarding federal mandates. The show concludes with John Bolton’s stark warning at the Heritage Foundation regarding the existential threat globalists pose to American sovereignty.

Apple iPad Launch, Retail Experience at The Grove

The launch of the Apple iPad is discussed following a visit to The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. Observations include the presence of tech personalities Robert Scoble and Steve Wozniak in lines, the effectiveness of Apple's "velvet rope" marketing strategy, and the high morale of Apple Store employees during the product debut.

Who's R? Mickey and mine. Well you should be more specific. Yes lightning struck one year ago, when one day now exactly And then you guys met afterwards go on get going Oh wait a minute! You got a little uh... Is that button you pushed on the iPad yeah

01:42 And so I'm watching the TwitLive, because you can't miss it. Everyone's tweeting about it. This is kind of what social media is these days. It's like okay iPad this, iPad that blah blah blah and then I turn on... How relevant? Yeah well although I do want to say something about it. I turn on the live Twitch stream and there's Scoble in line you know then there's Wozniak in another store in line And I get like strangely excited. I'm a 45 year old man! That is terrible... I know, and I'm like okay this is really feeling bad what's up with this? And of course you know I knew that they had done the whole velvet rope strategy I knew there would be plenty of iPads so say you know what make on our way to lunch why don't we just drive by The Grove which is his fabulous shopping center in Los Angeles

02:34 Fabulous. It's really fabulous, no it's great it's pretty awesome actually and if there is no line we can walk right in and go pick one up so you go down there and there are the velvet rope lines apparently they were lines in the morning and there was like two people waiting for the non-reservation lines I said okay this is really against my principles but these 2 people will hop in line took about 5 minutes and we went out and got one The thing that she pointed out, amidst all of the bull crap that we always talk about and all the negative stuff going on in the world. It is kind of nice to see a lot of people in a company actually doing very well being happy about a product they make I have to admit there's something pretty magical about that

03:24 You know, the people who are managing the lines all the way to the people who are selling them. And these aren't like highly paid employees you know they're just people working at the Apple store and at The Grove And everyone's kind of happy and they're applauding their own product. The company is very successful, and these days I think you have to stop and say wow! What are they putting in the water over there? Yeah totally Why are being so negative? No i'm not being negative, I am agreeing with everything that you say You're being kinda snide No. Oh, no! No not at all Hey it's a great device everything I said is true It works for the show and it works for me Yeah everything I said is true Everything I predicted is right Whatever that means Hold on a second We're so on time with todays' show normally you don't hear my Mac farting and everything

CHAPTER 02 / 39 Discussion

Easter Traditions, Pagan Origins, John Dvorak's Birthday

The origins and modern commercialization of Easter are examined, focusing on the disconnect between religious resurrection themes and secular symbols like the Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs. The timing of the holiday is noted as the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring, occasionally coinciding with John Dvorak's birthday on April 5th.

04:21 It's like this is all the sounds you normally hear during the pre-stream. Wow, we're on time! Happy Easter John Yeah happy Easter to everybody out there that's crazy enough to be listening to our show on Easter I suppose most people will be listening to it on their commutes next week As most people do Do you celebrate Easter? You being kind of a non religious type guy No Easter egg hunt every Easter. You know, where did all this is? This is what I'm confused about now. I understand the whole egg thing resurrection coming out of the egg. I guess that's never got to have it okay but how do we get from egg to rolling them down hills hiding him and an Easter bunnies you know where the bunnies lay the eggs if this is Nikki said I like hello the bunnies laid the egg and you can bite their head off because they're made up chocolate yep

05:14 Yep, there you have it. You got it in a nutshell. It's like what is up with that? It was one of those holidays that came from religiosity that Hallmark didn't get hold of soon enough to make things concise and meaningful. Hallmark wasn't around early enough. And so the thing went out of control It really is out of control. But everyone seems to be celebrating this year for some reason, and if not religiously they're getting together and having a family dinner it's kind of interesting Well it's one the first times its actually been on Sunday Oh this is a good point! It's always on a Sunday you douche! Its the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring Is that what it is actually? Yeah it is Because they always move around You know it hit my birthday once

06:04 Wait so your birthday's got to be coming up. Yeah, or did I miss it? No no It's coming up but it hit my birthday once when I was a little kid So when's your birthday the 14th 5th really tomorrow that I think it's Tuesday Oh Noah is tomorrow the fifth you are such an amazing Wonder why everyone's hiding packages around all kinds of gifts stacking up in the corner there so Anyway, the... It, you know the 5th falls on Sundays every 4 or 5 years and then when it happens I say wow maybe I'll get another Easter. And no they move it to Easter. It's never hit my birthday ever again just so when I was a little kid it did once. So that's nice what are you going to do for your birthday? Not sure. I'm gonna drink a bottle of 89 Lafitte probably about 85 salon champagne. Is there is there party that I was not invited too?

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Barack Obama Afghanistan Trip, Secret China Meeting Theory

A theory is presented suggesting President Barack Obama's unannounced trip to Afghanistan served as a cover for a secret meeting in China. Discrepancies in reporter accounts from Reuters regarding Air Force One movements, the President's appearance, and the timing of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's currency report are cited as evidence of a clandestine diplomatic mission.

barack obama· afghanistan· china· reuters· air force one· timothy geithner· hamid karzai

15:02 And you did mention CB in Tokyo, didn't you? Yes I did. Executive producer for today Okay and we'll do our night hoods later obviously always exciting on a Sunday well John in the morning to you it has been It has been quite a couple days once again Well what do you see that's interesting The thing well when it comes to media assassination there's a couple of things There was a fantastic article sent out on the Reuters wire, actually listed on the Reuters website. And it's about President Obama trip to Afghanistan. Now remember I asserted almost immediately and I think you agree that this had to be some cover for something. Something else. And I believe he secretly went to China

15:53 Now when you read this account, which is kind of like a blog accounting from one of the reporters. So it's very interesting where he says well it all started out with a phone call from Reuters News Pictures Washington editor in charge, which by the way how big is that guys business card? Jim Borg and forming Thursday night, there was a secret presidential trip leaving on Saturday to an undisclosed destination. So if you run down this article it's fantastic because it almost plays exactly into what we were talking about everything had to be kept secret they were on the plane did not see the president the entire time they were on the plane

16:34 Then they were, they had to wait on the ground. We're not allowed to photograph the president coming off the plane but then all of a sudden he came off and they got like 30 seconds to photograph him so that was probably either A.) The other Obama or B.) He was...the President had probably already gone to China at that point in the other Air Force One But he actually provides a nice timeline and there's plenty of time to make little trip to China with the backup Air Force One. It was very secretive, they had very little access... OSO let me get this straight Okay, so now I'm getting the picture. In other words we were taking a look at two Air Force Ones one of them lands in Afghanistan nobody gets to see Obama actually on the plane that they get to see some guy walking off the plane that looks like Obama who then runs to the helicopter who runs through a helicopter and he takes off and then you're asserting That the other air force won't landed in China for some sort of a meeting yeah Oh Yeah landed for a meeting

17:31 And then, so of course they had to wait for the other Air Force One to come back and for the president to land in a helicopter before he could basically pretend to walk out of Air Force One that they were all on where they never saw him. And they had no access to their... Did they see him on the way back? No. Hmm. Nope. No and it's all in here but it's in a very kind of casual kind of way. Do they mention that this is unusual the way this was handled Do they ever get to see him or chat with him on one of these trips? Well, the thing that is interesting is a couple of really good pictures. When he meets with... there was a welcoming ceremony with Karzai. Now Karzai has his cape on, his superhero cape and hat made out of lamb fetus skin which is true

18:24 And the president has a suit and tie on, but it's completely...and this is what really I think confirms my thinking. It's completely dusted where he-I guess he had this seat belt from a helicopter But like really dirty and you can literally see the belt over his over his shoulder. He had a dirty shoulder belt, shoulder harness type of... Very very dirty. And it was dirty and they got him all grimy? Yeah because he probably wasn't flying in one of the presidential helicopters there's probably a military helicopter and I don't know it just tells me that he was around a lot of sand but even even the reporters like well that's interesting and then later he threw on a leather jacket when he went to meet the troops

19:13 The whole thing is just it's filled with holes of hours and hours of time. Then there was all kinds of problems accessing the internet for the press corps to upload their pictures, and the FTP wasn't working... Well here's an interesting thing that ByteLaw just sent me right now article dated March 29th Obama summoned to China as global war fears grow Sortship foul is reported to her Western subscribers. This is like some That's a what does it mean calm which I actually donate to because sometimes they come up with some good stuff? I like them

19:50 Yeah, the whole thing sure. Okay there's this yeah well also you know Timothy Geithner is now delaying the report on China manipulating currency prices oh I think we should because of course Obama was in China it's like isn't here? Obama! You are not reporting us don't do that Is that your imitation of a Chinese person? Yeah what do you think pretty good huh Yeah, just the way in fact it sounds like to get waiter. I just saw the other day at the Chinese restaurant Anyway so I enjoyed that very much and if you if you read the whole story It's in the show notes You'll see where hours and hours of time was left open And for what? You know for like a handshake What was that bogus why of course its bogus then

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

FCC National Broadband Plan, Digital Public Media

The FCC National Broadband Plan is criticized for recommending government investment in "digital public media" to curate internet content. The proposal is characterized as an attempt to establish a "Ministry of Truth" that could marginalize independent media outlets by leveraging public service broadcasting funds for internet infrastructure.

fcc· broadband· npr· pbs· digital public media· ministry of truth· mesh networks

20:45 Had a little time to read through the broadband plan for America. Oh, you did? Yeah! What'd you find? Well I found out that the FCC is basically recommending that the government spend as much money as possible and if possible equal to what they've spent on our national treasures NPR and PBS on digital public media Because of course, you know all the stuff out there on the internet. You know, there's too much bullshit It's not true So we have to have the Ministry of Truth come in We need a quote system of digital public media or more accurately cooperative systems of public media that can work with intention to deploy broadband content to forge connected communities

21:37 The function of a public media system would be to use the power of the Internet... ...to give voice to things that have not survived the rigors of the media marketplace. Where the demands of customers drive content creation, it will also serve as a curator focusing on what information to highlight and is a connector of media producers who have not been able to find a broad enough audience to make it into the marketplace." So there you go! They're coming in to our space Yeah, why I'm telling you. I've said this before think our shows at risk The federal government has invested well over $10 billion in the public broadcast system. States have invested billions more, there's now an opportunity to leverage that public investment in public service broadcasting to create public service broadband." This is it! You're right we need to get that mesh network up pretty soon Yeah well I think we will manage but its going to unfortunately keep us from growing to the size we really need to be at To have any influence but thats okay At least we'll have saved a few

22:40 Well, I think we are catching... even Will the gay hairdresser was here yesterday. He's like you know, I hear people talking about this no agenda thing and he goes to places like Slammers okay? Which you really don't want to know what happens there and by the way, I'm like Will please stop telling me. Right next to the other bar The White Swallow Yeah those kinds of places How about you John I don't know, I slept in and had some cognac last night. Not much going on here. I did pick up a few clips though including...I still haven't put together my educational clips because then well I'm not gonna run them today because it'd be too boring but there was one interesting at least we might as well start with some humor

Tom Stienstra Arrest, Marijuana Cultivation in Weed California

San Francisco Chronicle outdoors writer Tom Stienstra was arrested in the town of Weed, California, after authorities discovered 60 marijuana plants and 11 pounds of processed cannabis in his barn. The irony of the location is noted, alongside a discussion on the legal treatment of white professionals versus minorities in drug enforcement cases.

tom stienstra· san francisco chronicle· marijuana· weed california· siskiyou county· law enforcement

23:30 One of the local writers was busted here in San Francisco. The guy, I actually know him when I used to work at the San Francisco Examiner he was the... nature writer, he's the outdoorsman writer and he looks like Grizzly Adams. And it doesn't look like his age today and you'll figure out why when your listening to this story but this is one of the few stories that got apparently Tom Stinestra was growing pot and he got busted. For personal use or for commerce? Well, he had 60 plants or 50-30 plants but that's commerce. That's minor commerce But you have to listen this story and where he lives is kind of the punchline to this story but you want to run it

24:19 A San Francisco Chronicle writer is free on bail after investigators say they found a marijuana growing operation on his property. The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department says, I love how 30 plants is now a marijuana growing operation. Yeah that's nice. Deputies arrested Tom Steenstra and his wife last week they say they found 60 pot plants and more than 11 pounds of processed marijuana in his barn located in the town of Weed. No charges have been filed. What do you expect? It's like if you're a fed and you're gonna go look for a marijuana growing operation, I think the town of Weed would be good place to start. That's amazing! Weed is somewhere north of Redding in this valley... I think i'm going move there. It's a great little town but meanwhile I just thought that was hilarious. That is good. Growing pot in the town of Weed. Hey 11 pounds is not for personal use though dude

25:19 No, the 60 plants and 11 pounds. That's not for personal use. This is the kind of crap they're growing nowadays. Wait a minute you know this guy? Is he in the slammers or going to jail? I don't know they never reported on him i have no idea. Can you pop him a note? Listen to me, I don't think he's been actually put in jail yet Oh! He must be white...of course Yeah that's exactly it If your'e white you don't go to jail if your'e white You just give the cops a couple poundage and you are good to go Yeah, no. If he was a black guy I'd be in jail right now and they beat them. Yeah waterboarding just to practice. All right that's it for me. I'm out of here. I'm done. Have a happy Easter John great show.

CBS Haiti Subliminal Message, Bill Clinton UN Envoy

A mysterious "Haiti" graphic appeared for several frames during a CBS broadcast of the Late Show with David Letterman. This occurrence is linked to the $11.4 billion reconstruction plan for Haiti led by UN Special Envoy Bill Clinton, with claims that the disaster is being leveraged for corporate interests and tax-free havens.

cbs· david letterman· haiti· bill clinton· subliminal messaging· un envoy· disaster capitalism

26:07 There was something really disturbing which I can't really play the clip because it wouldn't make any sense because there's no audio and i know you saw as well John two times going to a commercial break right after a Letterman segment on CBS. Yeah, I have to put this on the blog yeah I have in the show notes and it'll be on NoAgendaTV.com twice! Two separate occasions? I think its 2 separate occasions. Yeah they are look at both clips they're 2 seperate times all of a sudden And I'd say middle of the screen about, well big right? It's not full-screen. Yeah it went across the screen in big letters. It says Haiti! Yeah Haiti and uh and i think it's only for one frame No it's more than that...it seems like half a second so it was probably eight or nine frames. You know now I don't think so because he slowed it down the guy who caught this and then he showed it in slow motion so it was seriously there for a long time but I think in real time it was one frame

27:02 It's really weird. know you know, a Clinton-Bush thing would have shown up after it. The shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity Then I would have understood it but it wasn't! It was like a local news promo... And it doesn't look anything like a slate No, it doesn't Slates for people out there You might want to explain what they are They're little uh Well you'll see this from time to time Yeah every once in awhile they drop it by mistake Yeah basically gives you the title of the clip that is coming up Uh..the producer who owns it all kinds of pertinent

28:02 production information and sometimes it used to happen a lot more when they were actually using tapes now in digital you barely see it which is why It's hard to believe this is a mistake Right because you queue everything up in digital and just like whoa, and what was it for? I was like really. I was...it was totally weird related to that I'm sorry yeah, I'm just saying yellow on a black background. Yeah, he's like the weirdest thing And of course we know right now they are in the middle of the 11.4 billion dollar plan for Haiti, which Bill Clinton is the special envoy UN envoy so they're planning to build their tax-free haven there casinos their love shacks everything is gonna it's a Haiti is not sure it's going to be fantastic

CHAPTER 08 / 39 Discussion

Haiti Relief Corruption, A Home in Haiti Charity

Criticism is leveled at the lack of basic supplies like tents for earthquake victims in Haiti despite millions in donations to major NGOs. A grassroots organization, ahomeinhaiti.org, is highlighted for using Amazon wishlists to bypass traditional charity bureaucracy, while comparisons are drawn to the long-term neglect of the Ninth Ward in New Orleans.

haiti· bill clinton· ngo· amazon· bobby duval· ninth ward· new orleans

28:53 Well yeah, the problem is that the rainy season is about to start. That will give the opportunity for more Haitians to die and then if Clinton's lucky they'll have a hurricane blow through there and kill more of them and then they'll have everything the way they want it they won't even have to bulldoze. The bodies will just be whisked away because this is literally hundreds of thousands of people not living in tents but living under sheets, sheets and rope so let me recount for you We've had millions, millions of dollars and euros around the world have been collected. We all felt really good with all the live shows. No let's help the people for Haiti! Everybody hurts! All this crap...

29:41 None of the money has gone to getting these people the basic necessities of tents. In fact, Bill Clinton... I'm not even going to play because it's just gonna get angry with a stone face sits there and says oh yeah we bought 60 thousand tents bull crap! There is no single tent there. These people are living underneath sheets And they're just perishing. You're right, I think that they just wait... Oh the rainy season come in! They got 20 000 troops still there who are slowly going to pull back because oh yeah our work is done here and now René Prévost is saying we need a UN red helmet humanitarian rapid reaction force

30:25 which could swing into action within hours of a natural disaster so they're planning the natural disaster because this is the same earthquake machine can make a hurricane machine. I don't know about that, I'm not sure. Oh! I do and i'll tell you why you go look at all of the aerial photographs from 9-11 You know, you bring this up on the show constantly. However, the point being all of this money not a single fricking tent for these people. That's all they're asking for I mean give them one of those formaldehyde trailers from Katrina do something! They're getting nothing so now there is this organization and saw this on the KTLA morning show because i like to see happy news about puppies and stuff like that And it's called ahomeinhaiti.org and I love this organization

31:25 They're not taking your money. That's what I like the most about them. They've got their guy, Bobby Duvall. It's actually a bunch of show business people. He is in Atlanta And on their website, ahomeinhaiti.org they give you amazon.com links to buy tents so you buy an actual tent from Amazon and put in the shipping address in Atlanta and then Bobby Duvall actually takes it Haiti and hands out to people This is how bad its gotten that we have actors Jump in and do this and the thing that pissed me off is one of these these actresses was on KTLA And she's talking about this, and of course you know good plug good promotion And they're doing a lot of social media stuff so the word is getting out and then one another one of the anchors actually asked a An intelligent question he says wow that's kind of weird. You know we've got we raised all this money How come there's no tents?

32:22 And she copped out and said, oh don't get me started. Oh sure, don't get me started! I was like yes start what are you talking about? This is the perfect opportunity to say that shysters have shown up and taken all your money and they've given it to all these fringe NGO groups and they're all putting it into stocks and bonds with Goldman Sachs and they're just letting the people of Haiti starve and wither away, and now they're gonna let the flash floods come. And then the hurricanes will be generated... ...and all the evidence is gone! You have your own theme now? That stinks! Hey man people are upset that I still have to use yours

33:12 Okay, so yeah. No they're... It's bad and you know what?

FAA Antidepressant Policy, Pilot Mental Health

FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt announced a new policy allowing pilots with mild to moderate depression to fly while taking approved antidepressants. The change is debated, with concerns raised about the impact of medication on pilot performance and the possibility that the policy is a trap to identify previously undiagnosed personnel.

34:12 There wasn't any, was there any really good distracting news this week? No. That would seem to be a slowdown. No I don't think there was... Yeah what was a minor one which had that well there were no blow-ups or anything i did kind of like the story that got a lot of well look at the iPad of course was it I think the guys are like all kicking back going alright Steve's on the case now we don't have to worry about anything carry on business as usual That's probably, that's you know I mean why even come in fact. In fact they probably have a deal with Steve Jobs like hey you know Steve is like hey i don't give a crap what you guys do okay but you are not I repeat your not going to any distractions while I'm launching my shit here. I'll take care of it I got it covered there was the announcement from the Federal Aviation Administration

35:10 who said, hey you know we think that it's okay for pilots with mild to moderate depression to be allowed to fly while taking antidepressants. Yeah let me tell you something not a good idea I don't understand who was running that thing over there? No no that doesn't sound good to me especially if you just listen to one of these commercials i mean you're not even supposed to take...I know commercial outfits they will not allow their pilots Nothing. Right, you really don't want that because it just slows down your shit and this is new policy FAA Chief Randy Babbitt I should tell you enough right there he says will actually improve airline safety the concern we have today is that

British Airways Flight 38, Pilot Welfare Controversy

The captain of the British Airways Boeing 777 that crashed short of the runway at Heathrow in 2008 is reportedly on welfare after being shunned by the aviation industry. Claims are made that the pilot was silenced regarding mechanical failures to protect Boeing's reputation, despite evidence that he successfully managed a dual engine flameout.

36:05 People who are either self-medicating or not seeking a diagnosis. You know what this is about? This is about having the pilots who have been sneaking antidepressants coming forward and firing them because there's too many... I didn't actually touch on this, the pilot, the captain who landed the British Airways 777 that came in from China that the throttle broke Or they couldn't throttle up upon arrival like 500 feet before they actually wound up landing short. Remember that? Vaguely Oh, come on man you remember that it was like the huge triple seven and everyone survived one person got a broken leg But they landed in front of their own way You know the undercarriage dug in and everything but it was because of the fuel flow And as real Real iffy is to what had happened and never really came out with a report As to what was going on with the triple 7 It was a couple years ago, and we talked about it

37:02 ad nauseam. Is that back in the news? Yeah, well barely because this guy the pilot is now on welfare Because he was told to shut up, slave. He was told not talk to the media because of course it was a huge problem with Boeing aircraft or some structural problem I'm sure It still really hasn't been resolved as what exactly happened and then British Airways told other people who were doing their training and they do training every single day Oh yeah! He choked They basically told everyone, oh yeah it was a pilot error the guy choked and then he got totally shunned. How do you get to the point of being a 7777 pilot as a choke artist? That doesn't make any sense logically at all It doesn't make sense and what they're saying is because

37:56 What he did is, he handed controls over to the first officer and said here you fly the plane I'm gonna see if i can restart the...you know get the fuel flowing and basically do need to con..it's like your at 500 feet your about to land. Oh! You know he gave up He choked Actually have to say our national treasure I think it was NPR didn't interview No no I am sorry It wasn't it was BBC what am I thinking? And which of course is there's all kinds of political reasons there for the BBC to do a such a huge story about the guy. But it was in a way kind of buried and it just, it's crazy that guys on welfare now we got kicked out he has no job and he's being blamed for this. Yeah, he'll never get work They even said he never called in Mayday call thats what they were telling employees internally where the tapes clearly you can hear him calling into may day

38:49 It's a railroad job total. Total it's the airbus Boeing fight that continues got something to do with it bastards so have you ever heard of awakening squads? No, but I should be a member Well, play the Wagony Squad's clip. Five of the victims were women. Most of the dead members are the so-called Awakening Councils, they're the Sunni fighters who helped change the course of the war by turning against al Qaeda."

CHAPTER 11 / 39 Discussion

Iraq Awakening Councils, Media War Coverage

The role of the Awakening Councils (Sunni fighters who turned against al-Qaeda) in the Iraq War is discussed in the context of declining media coverage of the conflict. It is noted that major news outlets have largely stopped reporting on daily casualties and the complexities of local militias due to the high cost of foreign reporting.

38:49 It's a railroad job total. Total it's the airbus Boeing fight that continues got something to do with it bastards so have you ever heard of awakening squads? No, but I should be a member Well, play the Wagony Squad's clip. Five of the victims were women. Most of the dead members are the so-called Awakening Councils, they're the Sunni fighters who helped change the course of the war by turning against al Qaeda."

39:41 I thought it was some other kind of awakening. Is this the thing that's rumored, that the Awakening Squad speak perfect English and carry American weapons? Well, I guess its Awakening Councils according to this... That's what I was reading about! I've never heard of these people and she just runs off a matter-of-fact. Maybe you just missed it. It is possible he can't remember everything but You'd think that if these were the people that changed the course of Iraqi, you know the future Iraq we know more. Awakening Which is a Christian sounding thing by the way. I think the media has completely given up on reporting on these wars, it's too expensive to send people over... Do you even hear about casualties anymore? Well yeah once in awhile But very rarely It's not on daily basis No but you'll see the report like more servicemen and women killed this month than ever since the beginning of the war

Jihad Jamie Terrorism Charges, Online Plotting Definitions

Jamie Paulin Ramirez, known as "Jihad Jamie," faces terrorism charges for allegedly plotting to attend a terror camp and participating in a plot against a Swedish cartoonist. The legal definition of "plotting" is questioned, with suggestions that her online activities may have been caught in law enforcement "honey pot" websites while she was a caregiver in Pennsylvania.

40:40 You're just not hearing it. I think they've given it up So the woman who's reporting on the awakening councils is named Jamie and she has to do the report on jihad, Jamie another phony baloney woman terrorist With looks like a bimbo she looks more like an old stripper And with a long head with a uh... but they play the jihad, play this thing cause I think it's funny that Jamie is reporting on Jihad Jamie. And new developments in the so-called Jihad Jane case authorities filing terrorism charges against another American Jamie Paulin Ramirez aka Jihad Jamie accusing her of plotting to attend a terror camp she was detained in Ireland last month as authorities investigated an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist

41:28 I mean, it's almost like the onion wrote that story. Well here is the line that got me she was plotting to attend a terrorist camp. How do you plot to attend one? You either attend one or you don't I don't know, i'm gonna plot to attend one. Let me listen that again. ...accusing her of plotting to attend a terror camp she was detained in Ireland last month as authorities investigated an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist and i'm Jamie Colby join me at 1pm eastern for America's News Headquarters now back to Forbes on Fox

42:09 Yeah, so they busted this woman for the way. How do you plot? This is like well I think I'm gonna go to it and I said it I'm plotting to a go to New Orleans in May combatant What is plotting me doesn't mean she ordered an airline ticket or should what I think It was I think she went to a website honey pot website And she asked for some information Or maybe she's doing her you know She looks more like a like a journalist then she looks like a Jihad Jamie and I think she just went to website, I think there's honey pots all over the place and she went in there. And if you didn't have a good excuse for the reason why they're just throwing her in the slammer now. LaRose apparently spent long hours online in recent years while caring for her boyfriend's elderly father in a small eastern Pennsylvania town. Spending long hours online is evidently plotting

43:06 Yeah, plotting. Plotting! She's got no money. She's plotting to attend and they arrest her defame her and you know show a picture I mean it's unbelievable what's going on It's inexcusable. But now we reported- Is it against the law to plot? How do you even, what I don't get is this is like one of those phony baloney crimes that it's like plotting to who's because who's to say that anybody can be pulled down off the street if there's ever been online and they go over their history and they oh it looks like you're plotting to attend a terrorist camp

CHAPTER 14 / 39 Discussion

Gender Dynamics, Historical Matriarchy Theory

A theory is proposed that ancient societies were originally matriarchal and that modern men require specific "fantasies" to remain productive. The discussion touches on the perceived failures of high-profile women like Sandra Bullock and Elin Nordegren in managing their partners' behaviors within the context of these historical gender dynamics.

matriarchy· cleopatra· gender roles· relationship advice· history

45:32 Yeah, you know I'm starting to change my thinking all this. You know? I think it's a... It is Sandra Bullock fault and it is uh... And it is Elon Woods' fault You know, the women always say oh if we ran the world. Well women used to run the world and this is back in ancient times and men were basically doing two things We were working for them And that was our job and that's why we can still produce and reproduce into our well into Do we have a thing? We need it a jingle for your your take on history This this is historical fact John

46:14 Women look at look at Cleopatra, but even way before that women were running the show and then of course you know men got really strong and they want protection. They let us take over but... Men need certain things we need to at least have the illusion of hookers and blow You need to keep our fantasies going I think these women forget You know, there's all kinds of money involved and everything is great and we're all doing stuff. And they think that the men are still just going to go okay but when the blood leaves our head to our penis that's it! We can't think anymore so you've got to be at least teasing us. You gotta be more loose structured yeah okay Yeah you know like hey maybe I'll bring my girlfriends over. Show aren't gonna be too offended

47:04 I think women who listen to this show, all 15 of them. I think they might agree to a certain point.

Oh I just got a boob shot yeah we have a third groupie So um so I was listening to Sarkozy speech at Columbia Sarkozy shows up they have a bunch of meetings he goes to Colombia tells us Americans what a bunch

CHAPTER 15 / 39 Discussion

Nicolas Sarkozy Columbia Speech, Herman Van Rompuy Haikus

French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivered a speech at Columbia University regarding global solidarity and the Lehman Brothers collapse. The segment also mocks Herman Van Rompuy, the President of the European Council, for his hobby of writing haikus, labeling him "Haiku Herman" and interpreting his poetry as cryptic political code.

nicolas sarkozy· columbia university· herman van rompuy· european union· haiku· carla bruni

47:56 that we have to, you know... this keeps bringing up a clip that we played once before and I'm gonna play it again. This idea the Europeans essentially want to take over the place instead of doing in an old-fashioned way by attacking us with guns and then finding out that we resist that They're now just trying to sucker us. They figure they can outwit us because they are so much smarter than we are." So where is Sarkozy now when he's doing this speech? He is at Columbia University giving this talk, you can listen to Sarkozy one which will lead to the next one These are a little lengthy but they're being translated by a woman who seems to be doing rather good job of it Now did Sarkozy have his MK Ultra slave with him

48:42 I didn't see, no i don't think so. I think Merkel was still back doing something else No no im talking about Merkel, Im talking about Carla Bruni man as well Oh maybe but she wasn't on the stage flashing or anything Alright here we go Based on what we in the Eurozone would be capable of not doing that is today's world That is why, when the decision was taken not to bail out Lehman Brothers we would quite like to have been sounded out at the time and not simply told about it after the event. That is what solidarity and interdependence means. A last question perhaps?

49:19 Wait a minute, he's sitting there going like hey you bastards you're taking down your economy and not telling us about it? This is bad. No the whole thing is ridiculous You know the funny thing is Bolton speech which contrast with this guy He makes an interesting point that I think it was Bolton But he makes the interesting point if there is an EU and you got this crazy Belgian guy who's the president kind of the Obama? Of the United States of Europe does that make Sarkozy like the governor of Massachusetts. Oh Just a quick side note So you're talking about Herman van Rompuy, the... Yes he is the Obama of Gitmo Nation Europe. The United States of Europe He is about to release a book of poems Oh we don't need this poem! Wait wait wait April 15th his book of poems by the way some people call him Haiku Hermann

50:17 Which I think we need to adopt. Haiku Herrmann, the President of the United States of Europe Would you like an example of one his haikus? Oh hit it! Three waves roll into port together The trio is home What?! Mickey's falling off her chair That's his haiku man that's uh... I know what a haiku is but that's high bad In the morning Three waves roll into port together. The trio is home." Notice... Maybe he was talking about the- It's code! It's code, man! Listen it's the magic number three it's about the third wave of the tsunami it's about hookers and blow with the trio. I thought it was about the female members of the Navy are called Waves. No, it's all code magic numbers and the guy is a troll

51:17 The guy is a troll haiku hair mon. All right, let's go back to our Napoleon friend Sarkozy Bonjour monsieur le président bonjour bonjour lean bonjour monsieur le professeur did you have those in school John your French lessons? Oh Some people in the chat won't remember that one. So what Sarkozy's going to propose, and by the way he keeps making this threat that when the French take over the presidency of the Council Starfleet Command.

CHAPTER 16 / 39 Discussion

UN Security Council Reform, Regional Representation

President Sarkozy proposed expanding the UN Security Council to include permanent seats for regional giants like Brazil, Nigeria, and South Africa. This plan is viewed as a move toward a "Trilateral Commission" style of global governance, where the world is divided into regional blocs managed by a central international authority.

un security council· brazil· nigeria· south africa· g20· trilateral commission· regionalism

52:14 He talks about, what they want to do it seems to me is they want to water down the Security Council. There's like so many members on there that we don't have as much of an influence It's all this is all just aimed at Screwing us everything he says and then they ask him about well who would be on the thing? You know who would be members of the Security Council from like South America And he said well They should picket themselves and then he tells which they should pick. He says Brazil for example, should be on but they can pick whatever they want but you wouldn't leave Brazil out would ya? Anyway play it from... You made the argument that in the case of Japan they lost a war It could also be said that Africa and Latin America are not being listened to for the simple reason that in recent history there were colonies

53:00 if the developing world is to have its voice heard in... Talk about a journalist with an agenda by the way. Jesus, get beyond it man! Get to your question. ...all this new cooperation what sort of framework do you envision for that becoming the case? Well, for me it's a simple system. Every region of the world must have two to three representatives on the UN Security Council on a permanent basis. Oh this is the Trilateral Commission idea? This is the whole plan...

53:37 We have these regions, United States of North America, United States of Europe, United States of Caribbean, United States of Asia and then we all go up there and sit on our in the big tower and call all the shots. That's what that is. And every region of the world should be able to determine freely the basis on which they choose their two or three representatives. There again, the world doesn't need uniformity. Let me take the example of Latin America. Should it be Brazil? Should it be Argentina? Should they elect their representatives? Oh, that would be wrong. To a permanent seat it's up to them to decide we the international community should say look what what we want is permanent members

54:27 of the Security Council, are one or two people representing Latin America? Choose them as you will. It can be by elections it can be on a rotating basis it can be huge country like Brazil I mean how could you imagine running the affairs of the world without the Brazilian giant sitting at the table for The African countries, there are some 50 African countries. Stand by Africa you're about to get screwed bend over Should the representative be South Africa? Which alone represents 40% of African GDP or the African economy, or a giant country such as Nigeria that has more than 100 million inhabitants. It's up to them to decide and determine it is not up to us. And my aim... My ambition is to fast-track this one when France is in the presidency of the G20 and the G8. Ah! There it is. Eh well just when we're in control we're all gonna screw you

55:28 Then it's all over. She's translating it and let me just these translators I've always worried about this You know Tony the guy who drives me to the airport when I'm in San Francisco. He drives like a beat-up town car Yeah, he's one of these translators for diplomats yeah, no but and it's just like a dude you know This woman seemed a little more adept than most because it seemed to be flowing better than some of those

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

New World Monetary Order, French Labor Unrest

Nicolas Sarkozy called for a new international monetary system, declaring that the U.S. dollar is no longer the world's sole reserve currency. While Sarkozy promotes global financial reinvention at the G20, his domestic situation in France is marked by high unemployment and radical labor strikes, including workers threatening to destroy a car rug factory.

monetary system· us dollar· yuan· g20· nicolas sarkozy· labor strikes· france

56:17 change that you know the verbs and nouns constantly but here he goes on this speech lasted forever so I did find some good areas of it but this one is where he starts to push the Glover government yeah this one is basically this screw you in the United States screw your dollar It's bogus and screw the fact that you're not like doing what we say you should do. Here we go! I simply add a last point here, which will be something that the academics might wish to mull over which is that i'm calling for the establishment of a new international world monetary system... We cannot go... Oh nice he's calling for it

56:59 Oh, do you hear that John? Yes. Sarkozy is calling for it. He's calling for it. Continue as we are but my dear friends of the United States of America the dollar is no longer the world single currency It is a very important currency But it is not the only currency The yuan Who's in the audience at this thing who sitting there listening to this jabroni I, you know it's at Columbia University so i'm assuming there is a bunch of professors and a lot of journalists. I don't know why what the point of it is and uh... I have no idea who was in the audience but they're all nodding their heads a lot. Oh yes! Chinese currency is an important currency part of your savings is in Chinese hands So we have to come up with, we have to design

57:48 international monetary order and decide together on how to handle. Yeah I've been reading that one is kind of the new meme it's the monetary world order, its saying you know its like oh it has to be a monetary which of course is more dangerous than calling for global governance this exactly what happened in Europe as they made one currency 1 euro and then everyone was like all good we don't have to change our money and before he knows it is just like what? genetically modified crops? What, who approved that? Who's this guy? The funny thing is Europe was so adamant about genetically modified crops and the next thing you know

58:26 They're legal! They're not legal, they've eaten them up. They are in the can! And manage interest rates and how to regulate a new international world international monetary order that is fascinating discussion which I will push forward when we are in the presidency of the G20 and something which I would be talking about with President Obama you see new world governance, a new international... There was actually a fantastic photo And I'll have to look it up as Sarkozy and Obama are running to a press conference in the White House. They had, I guess they had to go from one room to the other and they're running...and they looke like their you know, they're poised like superheroes

59:09 You know like da-da-dah, da-da-dah and they're both running together there. Their steps are bouncing you have to see it I'll put it in the show notes monetary system a new system to regulate commodity prices under means and new ways of of Don't read books, read Herman's haikus. Don't read any economic books, haiku!

59:56 will save us. The excellent news in all of this is that today my dear friends, ladies and gentlemen we have the world as our oyster we can reinvent anything if we have the imagination and cooperation that we need between Europe and United States of America thank you for your attention We are the world meanwhile the guy can't keep his own country in check French workers are threatening to blow up a factory In Stolymatex, is the name of the factory they make car rugs. They blow it up! I love the French workers Yeah they have petrol bombs near a huge gas tank and saying look if you don't give us better wages then and better layoff compensation we're blowing this fucker high sky-high And of course no one buys french cars anymore

John Bolton on Global Governance, American Sovereignty

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton criticized the move toward global governance, citing Herman Van Rompuy's declaration of 2009 as the first year of global management. Bolton argues that President Obama's devotion to multilateralism represents a significant departure from traditional views of American sovereignty and constitutional independence.

john bolton· herman van rompuy· global governance· american sovereignty· barack obama· multilateralism

1:00:52 And there's a huge unemployment rate higher than the United States in France. Yeah, yeah I know Sarkozy. But Sarkozy is going to be a big shot when he takes over the G20 Now just give me this one clip of Bolton explaining global governance which i think segues nicely with what Sarkozy said Herman Van Rompuy the former Prime Minister of Belgium said in his inaugural address Why doesn't he just say The President Of The United States Of Europe? Why does it have to be Former Prime Minister Of Belgium Why don't you say that? That's frightening. Yvonne Rompuy, the former prime minister of Belgium said in his inaugural address which I'm sure you've all read right In his inaugural address in November last year he described 2009... That's..I just gotta stop there for a second did you hear that what he just did

1:01:41 He said in his inaugural address, which I'm sure y'all read right? You stupid idiots! You didn't read anything. And it was like... That's Bolton's weakness. In his inaugural address in November of last year he described 2009 And I'm quoting, as the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of a financial crisis. Yeah we actually talked about this on Thursday's show This is what they're going to do It'll all be managed by the G20 it's not gonna be United Nations but the G20 is the new Starfleet command The climate conference in Copenhagen Is another step toward the global management of our planet Close quote

1:02:30 So this is the attitude, the approach of many people who favor moving toward global governance. And so I think we're entitled to ask one year into the Obama administration what is the President's view of American sovereignty? How does he view these issues. And I think we can see already that the President has, President Obama has a very different view of American sovereignty than the long line of presidents certainly since Franklin Roosevelt in some respects he harks back to Woodrow Wilson in his devotion to multilateralism as a process and an outcome Right Multilateralism as in trilateral

CHAPTER 19 / 39 Discussion

NPR and PBS Funding, Corporate Underwriting

The funding structure of NPR and PBS is analyzed, specifically the reliance on corporate underwriting from companies like General Electric and Monsanto. It is argued that this "sponsorship" is indistinguishable from traditional advertising and creates a conflict of interest that prevents these outlets from reporting critically on their donors.

npr· pbs· corporate underwriting· advertising· monsanto· general electric· bill moyers

1:03:17 Well, that's just three laterals. Try is multi? It's more than one. Whatever! But anyway the point is that they're setting us up to screw us So this is a type of analysis we try to bring you on every single show it takes a lot of time to put this together and there was an interesting discussion thread at noagendaforums.com about us calling out our national treasurer the NPR as well as PBS and I just want to set something straight. Both of those organizations do have some outstanding programming, no doubt about it however

1:03:57 When you understand how they are funded, how they actually make money. You have to think about what they're not reporting on not the things that they are reporting on. Let's listen one more time to the clip of the president of NPR and about their funding or rather the decline in their funding and what they actually call it. Okay move it onto money How our NPRs corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants Two different stories. Underwriting is down, it's down for everybody I mean this is the area that is most down for us is in sponsorship underwriting advertising call it whatever you want Exactly call it whatever you want because it is pure advertising and although I enjoy watching Bill Moyers

1:04:51 Happy News Journal, I don't see a lot of news stories about General Electric Monsanto or Archer Daniel Midland's company who sponsor slash underwrite or advertise whatever you want to call it on those shows. And this is exactly the problem! It used to be from fine upstanding citizens like you and from foundations now on this show we do not know how to get foundation grants I wouldn't know how to do it. We've asked many times if someone can help us out, no one stood up and said oh yeah i know how to do that you know? I drive by the Getty every day The likelihood of getting a foundation grant for this show is zero Yeah They would take it because they need a big... Uh-oh Oh come back to me John

Diane Ravitch, Gates Foundation Education Criticism

Education expert Diane Ravitch is highlighted for her criticism of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's influence on the American school system. Ravitch, a former conservative education official, argues that the foundation's focus on data-driven metrics and charter schools is damaging the quality of public education.

1:05:40 I have misgivings about foundations. On the next show we do on Thursday, I'll have some kind of negative foundation information involving the school system which is a...I'm trying to deconstruct a huge speech that was given by this woman who wrote this fantastic book her name is diane ravich and she wrote the death in life of the american school system she's annex uh... kind of an issue i think you're the reagan administration education department now she currently she's given up on all the conservatives because they don't know that their heads-up their butts about uh... education and she's given a proper although there are issues in may is an amazing speech unfortunately it's over an hour and i have to take if u choice clips which he blasts the gates foundation for screwing up the education structure in the united states

1:06:27 and we'll get to that next week. This is the kind of stuff you really can't do with foundations if you've been sponsoring it, we need public support in other words people who listen to this show have to say look is this two hours worth as much as me going into a movie and watching a movie I might not end up liking which I have to pay for in advance? Yeah and you gotta buy $40 worth of popcorn and you sit in the dark room that's smelly And you're forced to watch it in 3D with strangers. I mean, come on! Come on! So we have to... What's it worth? This is why we ask for money. We do spend 10 minutes maybe a show at the most right and we don't interrupt the show necessarily or the flow of the show to do this which is another advantage which I... The reason I don't like advertising at all because of the interruption factor and the fact that it's corrupting

1:07:22 So, you know it's just think about it. Well the corrupting part is really the main point It's just how it works You know you can't go around doing a lot of stories when... When you can't bite the hand that feeds you Yes is rude. Menial gig anywhere we wanted for some kind of a job at Fox or someplace We could probably get it like making more money than we make doing the show, but it would suck Yeah, and yeah hell. Yeah, I was like oh sorry John that was a really interesting thought But let's break away for an important commercial well now you got but the other problem with these big media outlets people should realize is that they're run by this as Like somebody said are the friendly penguins these suits

CHAPTER 21 / 39 Discussion

Listener Donations, No Agenda Karma Stories

The show reviews donations from listeners in Fargo, Riyadh, and Pittsburgh, noting a recurring trend where donors report receiving job offers or raises shortly after contributing. The value of the show notes as an educational tool is emphasized, and the hosts discuss the ongoing design of the No Agenda Knight rings.

1:08:20 You don't have any leeway, you can't really do your own show. I mean you can't sit there like we did. We developed a show basically from the seat of our pants over time to what it is with all the jingles and all that other crazy stuff and there's no way that we could do this in a structured environment because people are gonna say nah ya know? We did a focus group and they don't like The In The Mornings. What does that mean anyway? In the morning! Yeah, we don't like that. It's really annoying and when you say the call letters go W-A-N-B-C That's our argument. So let's thank some people that have donated, but I also want to bring up something from one of our donors from last week who had a couple of websites he wanted plugged in and i'll plug them because they have to do with stuff that we talk about hempvideo.com. OOF! Hempvideo.com and theridleyreport.com R-I-D-L-E-Y report dot com one word

1:09:23 I haven't looked at the Ridley report, so just check it out for yourself. Now this week we've got besides our executive producers we have Zach Helensky from Fargo North Dakota who also wrote a shorter version of War and Peace but he's unemployed beginning his graduate studies in ceramic art by the way We'll be looking out for that and he expects to get a job. He says he does rely heavily on the show notes to spread the good word in an attempt to open the eyes of his family and friends, which is actually it is a very good tool and we put a lot of time and effort and spend a lot of attention on the show notes because these are usually stories from

1:10:07 big media outlets that people say, oh that was in Reuters? Oh it must be true. And we can show you the conflicting reports and its all kind of nicely organized so its a good tool to use and we appreciate your $99.99 donation. Jason Williams in Pittsburgh California 100 dollars and he's actually donating for himself and Paul Nariman And they're going to do a night program. And also, if Eric's listening check and see where Randy Asher is from because I find it peculiar that on this list that we have Randy Asher listed as in Pittsburgh California and Jason Williams right under him as in Pittsburgh. I suspect there's something with the database there. And if Eric can also... I don't think Randy's in Pittsburgh If Eric can also resend the note? There was some other person Oh here it is Firas Altibani

1:11:04 Oh, he's on the list here. $52 and 10 cents He is from Riyadh Saudi Arabia He is sitting on top of that Trident sub there in the desert And I think we missed his donation in the past You keep giving me extra dollars to get our attention Now you'll mention me? Thank you Firas Altibani It's nice to have people checking-in from the sand Yeah, actually we do yeah. Yeah, we got a couple of foreign donations I like that it's good to see the foreign and the foreigners back on there helps Matthew Chang Los Angeles 6666 And he donated back on three three and got a job interview The next day you know we're not making these stories up by the way

Law of the Land Meme, Congressman Phil Hare

The phrase "Law of the Land" is identified as a linguistic meme used to shut down constitutional challenges to legislation like the Healthcare Act. Congressman Phil Hare of Illinois is featured in a clip where he explicitly states he does not "worry about the Constitution" when discussing federal mandates.

1:19:17 Please support our show. We've given you all the reasons why it's Noah agenda show calm but to go directly to the sponsorship and support links Dvorak org slash na or if you want to become a sustaining producer and receive credit on that site no agendas stream comm it is Dvorak org slash nas And the backup site is channeldvorak.com slash NA if you can't get to the Dvorak site. It got a, it was a pretty interesting PR idea from one of our listeners Oh by the way if you're an producer associate executive producer or executive producer or a PR associate then

1:20:02 Please consider putting that in your email signature. That seems to be a big one these days people Yeah, actually right now is gonna kick I get the mail and it all over pictures exactly I'm producer of and the show number they're producer if you should actually put A link to that as well in your in your email signature One of our listeners said, you know Here's a great PR idea You know We all have a pencil and we all have to take a dump So whenever you're in a public bathroom, yeah right no agenda show calm on the wall If you don't have a sticker you can use. Yeah. Oh the stickers are good There's lots of great stickers out there people. Yeah, we're gonna have to put up a site We should be knowage somebody does no agenda stickers whoo We do need that don't way dot-com and just post these things and people can print them themselves I

1:20:55 The law of the land meme cropping up in two different forms. I saw that you can here's a classic you want to hear this one? The law of the land meme crept over into the sports world and there some new rule in the NFL they said they called it the Law Of The Land I'm telling you, it cracked up. Really? Yeah! Oh yeah well that new regulation is now the law of the land and this is a football rule. Well so my whole thinking behind this is that whenever comes to a constitutional or law Might conflict with the Constitution then it's immediately called law of the land It's been used for the Federal Reserve Act and now for the Health Care Act but also Lyndon Johnson used it in the 60s when putting Medicare and Medicaid into place He said this is now the law of the land

1:21:51 which I thought was very interesting since that was also, at the time i would presume that was deemed as perhaps unconstitutional. But then here's this congressman from Illinois... I hate to interrupt you but there is a Noah Jenda stickers dot com site already. Oh good! So this is Phil Hare He is a Democratic congressman from Illinois. He's being grilled by a number of constituents about the constitutionality of health care and I don't really even care to get into that, we've discussed it ad nauseum but it is very interesting when he gives his take on that. I'm trying to finish the point and the point isn't for me

1:22:43 When a little boy... I can't make this, I know. Well if this is important stuff these are people's lives it's people's children It's when you take your child to the hospital and you think it's really bad and your heart is bumping and bumping while you're waiting for the doctor tell you what it is And then the doctor comes out says it's going to be okay except You don't have insurance and you stuck with $10 or 15 thousand dollar bill in your heart starts pumping What am I gonna do? I talked to woman that does bankruptcy she's good friend of mine who's an attorney I don't worry about the Constitution. Yeah, who worries about the Constitution? By the way how often does someone take their kid to the doctor or hospital and they say the kids okay and then you're stuck with $15,000 bill

Healthcare Deficit Projections, Obama Town Hall

President Obama's claims regarding the Healthcare Act's ability to lower the national deficit by $1 trillion over two decades are scrutinized. It is noted that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) does not typically project beyond ten years, making the President's long-term financial promises speculative and politically motivated.

barack obama· cbo· healthcare reform· deficit· taxes· town hall

1:23:39 Yeah, exactly. Kids are okay and here's a bill! And I'm still waiting you know we're seeing pundits we're seeing politicians could i please see one of the 32 million people who are happy? Could you please just show me 100 of them? Just show me a little group of people who are going yay I got health care there's nobody No one's getting anything. I don't understand, how come we can't show these people? Show me someone who is going to be happy that they'll get it in 2014! Just show me one! One! They don't show it to you because its not there and the president meanwhile he's walking around, he's going everywhere, he's selling the bill and uh... well I do have a sound bite of it but it's 17 minutes long

1:24:28 He's got to cut down his... A woman asked him at the rally I think in Pennsylvania or Portland, Portland probably. So this is going to raise our taxes right? And he goes into this 17 minute answer doesn't answer the question about all kinds of non sequiturs it just doesn't answer the question And the thing that bothers me the most is this incessant, oh it's going to lower our deficit by one trillion dollars in two decades. Because he made the mistake of saying in one decade but the Congressional Budget Office I think that who determined it right? The CBO they said

1:25:14 It's possible it could lower it in the second decade, but we don't project past 10 years. So he is taking quite a bit of liberty with this lower by $1 trillion dollars in two decades and then in two decades if we're alive... You know or not being run by the French next week The could be as early as next week We could start to see our new taxes on carbon emissions because of course, you know climate gate didn't really exist. There was no covering up of decline in temperatures No, let's just keep pushing through

CHAPTER 25 / 39 Discussion

EPA Carbon Dioxide Declaration, Pollution Taxes

The EPA is expected to officially declare carbon dioxide a dangerous gas, paving the way for new federal taxes on carbon emissions. This move is interpreted as a strategy to generate revenue to service the $23 trillion national debt, rebranded as a "pollution tax" after the failure of "cap and trade" legislation.

epa· carbon dioxide· global warming· cap and trade· pollution tax· national debt

1:25:54 As if nothing happened. Nothing has happened, it looks like the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency will declare as early as next week of course they've already officially declared carbon dioxide is a dangerous global warming gas get rid of your plants cut down their trees they're emitting poison and that they will be given the fiat go ahead if you will to start imposing taxes on carbon Which will be billed as a pollution tax. They're trying to get rid of the cap and trade, and all those memes that didn't work that have got a bad rap so be on the lookout for news about pollution. How come when we had like real air pollution in this country were still doing some areas there was never attacks like this?

1:26:41 Real pollution, I'm not talking about carbon dioxide which is a natural product that's part of nature. It comes and goes you breathe it out when you breathe it out and the plants breathe it in Why was there never attacks on real pollution when we had real pollution problems? Because we didn't have 23 trillion dollars of debt that we can't pay back In four or five years our entire The entire taxes raised, so like a trillion bucks whatever it is we raise in taxes annually will go to paying interest. We've got the worst credit card deal in history It'll just be interest we'll never be able to pay it down So you know something's gotta give and so we need we need the money I have a quick one from

Meg Whitman Goldman Sachs Ties, Jerry Brown

California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's past on the board of Goldman Sachs and a $3 million fine for "IPO spinning" are discussed. Despite her wealth, the analysis suggests Jerry Brown is the likely winner of the election due to his deep connections within the established Democratic political machine.

1:27:31 Our department known as... Shadow Puppet Theater! There's a big race on in California for the next governor of California. Meg Whitman, who you've uh... I don't think you like John? I don't dislike Meg Whitman Oh you will Well You will when i'm done with this Did you know that she was on the board of directors for Goldman Sachs in 2001 and 2002? Yeah, I did know that. And that she actually was fined $3 million dollars for spinning which is not sitting on a bike riding real fast without moving anywhere but that is a trick you can do at an IPO where your given shares as an insider before the public can get it then you basically sell them at the offering

1:28:18 It's an illegal practice and she was fined three million dollars. She hasn't got a chance of winning this thing I mean, I've had all these people say I just say tell you right now Jerry Brown is gonna win This election is not no doubt in my mind Is he a good guy? He's a dingbat So we're screwed. I don't necessarily believe that's true, he has been in the government so long and he is so old that he doesn't have any reason to worry about his future or anything else and he will probably actually fix things because he knows where all the bodies are buried, he knows everybody who knows anyone. He works with all the most corrupt people in the Democratic Party they'll be on board with him and he can just fix things I'm telling you i just have this sense of it. I would like to say nothing to lose... The most dangerous kind of Democrat! I'd like you to take a look at this picture these satellite images I'm skyping it here right now uh... says that you know I'm all over harp

HAARP Radar Patterns, Australian Weather Anomalies

Mysterious star-shaped and spiral patterns appearing on Australian weather radar are attributed by officials to "interference," but are linked by others to HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program). These anomalies, including a "red star" over Broome, have sparked intense speculation regarding man-made weather modification and earthquake induction.

1:29:22 and turning on the earthquake machines. There's been a set of amazing patterns on radar over Australia known as Gitmo Nation Down Under. This is somebody, this is an April Fool's gag. No it's not no it's not it is not an April...this has been they've been reporting this for several weeks now this started back in January and uh the Bureau of what do they call it down there No, let me read people the subheads mysterious shapes appear on radar Bureau of meteorology say it's interference Which is what it looks like and not yes Interference from harp there. There's conspiracy theorists are buzzing in here we got one now with us mr.. Adam curry Look he's buzzing yeah I am because you know yes Of course its interference but this is radar interference doesn't necessarily look like You know

1:30:20 ninja stars. It's like a ninja star! Can somebody who is making these patterns use the No Agenda logo? That's what we need, now we got something yeah hey Harp guys could you please project like the no agenda bat signal over Australia when you're trying to cause earthquakes in Japan because that's what they're doing it is described as the ring of fire which A bizarre red star over Broome, January 22nd. Sinister spiral burst over Melbourne." This is weird! It's... you have to admit it's not like your typical radar disturbance

1:31:03 John, well if it's not an April Fools gag. It's not! The Bureau of Meteorology is... People should link to this he's gonna add him I'm sure is going to highlight this in the show notes because it's definitely... Yes, in bold yeah and by the way people you should subscribe to the show notes because eventually we're gonna put them on a newsletter and they'll be the easiest way to get them so And there's a subscription box at the bottom of thecurry.com Site and I think under no agenda show do you have it on there too? Yeah. Oh, yeah No agenda show calm The only place I can't do it is at know agenda dot media comm because the they won't accept the JavaScript or whatever All right. Yeah I did kind of like what's going over going on in Google Deutschland that Google don't get more Deutschland

Google Street View Privacy, German Resistance

German citizens are actively resisting Google Street View cars due to historical cultural sensitivities regarding surveillance and privacy. Reports indicate that Google vehicles have been sabotaged with punctured tires, reflecting a broader European skepticism toward the data collection practices of American tech giants.

google street view· privacy· germany· stasi· sabotage· nexus one

1:31:54 Google Dice. Well, it's a story about Google we can only hope well I like what the Germans are doing so III have to say when it comes to United States of Europe I love with the French are doing they're like hey We're gonna blow up the factory It's like yeah, we need some more of that over here Like we're gonna blow up the factory if you don't give us what we want and in in Germany And I have to say, I don't like these Google cars. I don't like Google Street View. I see no benefit to it. Do you use it John? Is it really incredibly handy for some reason? You know where it comes in handy and its happened a couple of times.

1:32:39 With more long-term strategy than I think a lot of people want to give him credit for it and with the Google Those little cars that drive around so i'm using the google nexus one. I punch in at first Turn by turn instructions to go to somebody's place And I punch in their address and I drive and drive and drive It says you have arrived at your destination, and you look on your phone, and there's a picture of the person's house okay, so I don't use that. So if you look at it, many times and i'm saying this is valuable because many times especially nowadays there's not enough guys painting the you know the addresses on the curbs anymore You don't need... There are mailboxes people don't keep their you know they don't have a light on their address you don't know which house it is you have to kind of figure out well there's 36 there's 38 there's 42 that must be 39 here! You have to guess

1:33:26 and he always loads the answer is that you could just say yes i see some benefit to it we we get the idea The Germans however my long-winded explanation is a good one. No the Germans however remember these groups what they called oh yeah, the Nazis and this Stasi secret police And they remember you know like privacy is kind of an important thing and so they're not too hot on these On these Google cars driving around with cameras, and so they're basically sabotaging them I like that. Who are they sabotaging them? An employee found the note under the windscreen saying, please do not drive away you have a puncture and they had punctured the tires of the Google vehicle yeah i saw one of these driving on the road the other day here in California it's just like what you know just because google doesn't mean I'm gonna like it

TSA Full Body Scanners, Drug Seizures

The TSA is criticized for using full-body "naked" scanners to identify small quantities of drugs rather than focusing exclusively on weapons and explosives. Despite public assurances that images are not stored, Freedom of Information Act documents reveal that the scanner specifications include requirements for image storage and 3D modeling capabilities.

tsa· body scanners· privacy· drug enforcement· cnn· freedom of information act

1:34:23 Yeah, well and you know we've got all these oh man the Europeans are more likely to object to this And I don't blame them because they're right because they have some history yeah Actually. I do have some good news in that regard but first You've probably seen Napolitano on some of the new shows now talking about the enhanced security measures that will be put into place at US airports So of course we're talking about the naked body scanners, that's one. And now they are also going to do lots of secondary checks They are going to be looking at you profiling you basically saying hey I think we need to talk to you Let me see what was the other? There was one... Oh!

1:35:15 And this was pretty interesting. So you have the CNN article about the full... and so there's like, oh these full body scanners are really good. Look at what we found! And they show you five pictures. They show a little bag of crack, a little bag of coke, a bag of weed, a bag probably ecstasy pills and a pouch with five joints. Hello? That's my business Now they're getting drugs? This gear is not supposed to be used for anything other than spot terrorism and their weapons and the rest of it. They've out-and-out said this a jillion times that we're not looking for your drugs, we are not looking for this, we are not looking for contraband or not looking for your notes We're not looking you know...to go...this is bogus then Yeah but this what they doing! They showing the actual pictures proudly of oh look we got all your drugs

1:36:11 Because that's what the scanners are really for, to throw you in jail. And TSA has no rights to do that, do they? No! They're specifically told not to do that Well they're now being specifically told TO DO THAT And we got a note from one of the... No, you know the way it works. They're told not to do it and they do this scan and then they look at it say that doesn't have to look as suspicious? And then they go, uh, call or tell the cops when there are guards and they tell somebody else, local police that happen to be in the airport too if he hadn't noticed You know, there's a bunch of cops are roaming around and they just grab you as you come up the escalator. Just on suspicion. It's funny because back in the day when I was smoking weed, you know, I'd carry all the time not internationally or done that as well but it carried all the time and people say oh man what do you doing? They're not looking for drugs they're looking for guns and explosives and then there would never be a problem ever

1:37:10 But now, these body scanners which by the way although it's a CNN report they've now requested documents under Freedom of Information Act and we already knew this of course. The actual tender for these body scanners says it must be able to store images even though we keep getting told oh never store images That's bull. Yeah, there'll be a book out with everybody's you know bunch of images and weird fat looking guys and Guys with you know big Schwanzes and hot women with no well I have a theory You know these things are actually called 3D imaging right they're called 3D imaging scanners yeah They are Wouldn't it be interesting if you have all these 3D images of people? You can basically go and create movies if you have all this data

Covenant Aviation Security, Outsourcing Federal Liability

The TSA is increasingly subcontracting airport security to private firms like Covenant Aviation Security (CAS). This trend of outsourcing is viewed as a way for the Department of Homeland Security to avoid legal liability and bypass government worker protections, effectively creating a "Blackwater" style infrastructure for domestic security.

cas· tsa· covenant aviation security· blackwater· outsourcing· homeland security

1:38:03 You can create movies with real people. I think it's going to be mostly used to do statistical analysis of the public at large. You're all fat! You're all fat. Trevor, one of our listener producers sent in a note I'm traveling a lot lately and noticing the new uniforms and shiny gold badges on the Magin Bag Stormtroopers. I like that. Magin Bag Storm Troopers And instead of these badges saying TSA exclusively many of them now read CAS So i asked one of the storm troopers what CAS is versus TSA

1:38:43 I recognize the woman, she used to be a Redcoat security person. She said TSA has subcontracted the CAS company to do the work of the TSA so CSS is Covenant Services Worldwide and it's actually Covenant Aviation Services... Aviation Security, I'm sorry and from their website at covenantsecurity.com exclusively dedicated to the aviation community, to provide total security solutions in the protection of our nation's airways and travelers We provide quality services including airport screening individualized products and services and multifaceted integrated project designs and installations So for a Department of Homeland Security

1:39:31 Which is huge, they just built a two billion dollar complex. They've got hundreds of thousands of people working for them we still have to contract out this work? You know there was a... We talked about this like a few months ago when we had a C-SPAN report and they said they had something like 200 thousand contractors It's unbelievable! Yeah And you look at the website and it's by the way their SFO Is there a base, San Francisco? Of course there's no information. Mission first! Customers always TM. There is no... This is part of the government program to outsource anything that where there are liability issues Oh here we go let see Robert L Cole is the CEO

1:40:21 He possesses more than 26 years of extensive experience. It's in his pocket? Let's see, oh he is from Chicago! Okay... The President Gerald R. L. Berry. Let's see where he is from. This is what you got to look at people You gotta look at where these people are coming from So he was with the FAA okay..he's a total insider. He holds a Department Of Defense secret clearance. Ooh that's nice These are all like Gitmo dudes, man. This is amazing! Thomas Long, Executive Vice President... He's actually in charge of the CAS that's the Airport Security. Let's see what he has been doing. Oh yes. So these guys are a division of Blackwater? Well they're essentially a type of Blackwater. It's unbelievable that we're sourcing all this stuff out to these people.

1:41:20 TSA jobs, people who wear badges which means they're basically small cops if they're not working for the government. This is what happened like in San Francisco they've outsourced all of the parking meter stuff to some company, some dipshit company company and they just hand out tickets, those meter maids work for the city and they hand out the tickets and all that stuff's collected by a third party. And you can't protest! You can get a wrongful ticket... The courts won't deal with it because it says authority, we got nothing to do with it This is abrogating responsibility. The government is doing this over and over again, and when they talk about all this money going to the government workers it's actually going to these contractors And the workers are actually getting screwed I'm sure compared if they actually work for the government Then the government doesn't worry about liability If one of them goes crazy starts shooting up the place Oh yeah, oh yeah It's easy that way Can't sue the government? Oh there are contractors They're terrible people we fired em Of course they never fire em

Vatican Pedophilia Scandal, Bill Donahue vs. Sinead O'Connor

A heated debate on Larry King Live featured Catholic League President Bill Donahue and singer Sinead O'Connor regarding the Church's sexual abuse scandal. Donahue's defense, which distinguished between pedophilia and "post-pubescent" homosexuality, is criticized as an outrageous attempt to minimize the impact of the crimes on victims.

vatican· pope benedict xvi· bill donahue· sinead o'connor· larry king live· pedophilia

1:42:23 So just on Popegate, because we have to. This is an unbelievable video. So this is ongoing about the cover-up that the pope covered up that he knew that this priest was being reinstated. The hell? Freaking rollover pop-up crap! Should make clips... Yeah well I don't know right so first of all The US bishops have very quietly reinstated the accused priests in our own US-based scandal. They've just been reinstated! There's amazing accounts of Vatican officials saying, hey you need to respect the uniform that is our cloth

1:43:22 But this blew me away. This is I think on Larry King Live, so on the show we have Sinead O'Connor You remember Sinead O'Connor was the beautiful bald singer who did Nothing Compares to You which was a Prince song and was number one all over the world And then she kind of just freaked out She went crazy! Yeah she grew her hair back and now she looks like a house frow So she's on Skype Then we've got... Who is this guy? Bill Donahue. Have you ever heard of him? No. So he is, uh... He defends the church wherever he can so the show is clear right? We've got Sinead O'Connor she's in Ireland where this most recent pedophilia scandal has taken place and she's like whoa you know she's obviously crazy and you know she's the one that ripped a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live remember that yeah! She was onto this way back when I'm talking like 90s maybe even 80s so I want you to listen

1:44:24 About how this bill Donahue defends pedophilia. It's quite amazing. Bill Donahue, is it going to get better before it gets worse? Oh! It has already gotten better the timeline of the damage was in mid 60s to mid 80s but Ratzinger has taken a number of important steps that are harder for practicing homosexuals To get into the priesthood and thats a very good thing Its harder not impossible its just harder there more hoops to jump through But it's not impossible. Like father said before, we've only had six cases of allegations in the last year or so I'm very encouraged about the future i just hope that the other religions and public schools will look at the catholic church today as a model of excellence because we have a lot to teach them. Sinead are you optimistic? I feel that maybe we might have got some work tonight on this idea let's say for argument sake

1:45:22 there was no cover up despite what the reports say. If that's true then the Pope and the Vatican and Catholicism have been brought into disrepute by those members of the clergy over decades who did not go to police, so accidentally unwittingly another crime is actually being committed by the Vatican which is they have not reported these people, they are harbouring criminals by accident then These people have covered-up crimes of child abuse By the way, I love how calm she's doing this. This is really good and she's trying to be not pissed off and she's really explaining it clearly very good with this stuff that she's doing here but The outrage is about to come. They brought Catholicism into disrepute If that's true then they should be told in the morning by the Vatican every one of them who covered up go to police and turn yourselves in for persecution

1:46:11 Well said, Thomas. Bill is good but you cannot link homosexuality to a pedophilia crisis in the Catholic Church It's not a pedophilia, most of the victims are post-pubescent You gotta get your facts straight I'm sorry If i'm the only one who's gonna deal with facts tonight then that'll be it The vast majority of the victims are post pubescent That's not pedophilia buddy that's homosexuality So he's saying This was homosexuality, not pedophilia because the vast majority of these children were post-pubescent. Ergo... What do you mean? They're 11?! Well, let's... Sinead O'Connor should be on our show John cause she asked this very question Bill I don't think as a person of faith that you really know what your talking about when it comes to a victim and survivor It's the John Jay study of criminal justice! That's not my system! It's none of my opinion Take a look at the social science data! I never said most homosexuals are that way

1:47:07 No, you just said that they've cut down homosexuals. Yes! Practicing homosexuals! Sinead, go ahead quickly. Can I just ask very quickly with that gentleman? Sorry, I don't know your name sir... Could you-I'm not quite sure what pose pubescent means Would you mind explaining that to me? Explain what?! What does post-pubescent mean? Post-pubescent means beyond puberty. Okay, in other words you're an adolescent and that's what homosexuals do and most of the molesters have been homosexuals in the Catholic Church So the boys deserved it because they're post pubescent Now if you want to take that conclusion I think that's scurrilous! Why would you say that about homosexuals?! Sorry Larry...

1:47:49 does somebody become you know post-pubescent in America as a matter of interest? What is the age? Larry. I don't know let's ask Bill he seems to be on cardio post-pubescency. Okay, tell you what folks... 12, 13 years of age look all i'm saying is... 12,13 and it's all cool man they're just gay Unbelievable. The guy is outrageous! This guy's been on a bunch of different shows. Sinead O'Connor actually has her hands in her hair and is tearing it out now, on screen. It's just like... what? The guys unbelievable! You know that character has been on almost all the talk shows as an apologist for the church He's the hitman Where does he come from? But its terrible, he doesn't even- he's like blowing it

Boy Scout Perversion Files, Media Awareness

The Boy Scouts of America are reportedly holding "perversion files" consisting of 20,000 pages of documented abuse testimony. The segment highlights the potential for this scandal to expand into the upper echelons of the organization, paralleling the ongoing crisis within the Catholic Church.

boy scouts of america· perversion files· abuse· barack obama· records

1:48:35 It's beyond blowing it, it's just unbelievable. And now and you watch this come out the Boy Scouts of America I mean the jokes have been around for a hundred years but the Boy Scouts of America are sitting on something they call the perversion files There apparently are 20,000 pages of documented testimony and evidence about fiddling going on in the Boy Scouts of America. Which by the way is a group that Obama supports wholly because you know they're all being trained to take away your guns

1:49:16 It's unbelievable. This thing is blowing wide open, it goes to the upper echelons of the event. Yeah and that's why it's never going to blow right wide open by your own theory! Yeah you're probably right But it's, people do need to be aware of it. Yeah awareness is a good thing Hey your printer is spying on you potentially John this was an interesting piece of tech news that I don't think as well documented but we have a lot of sysadmins and network admins and programmers and engineers out there And I put this link in the show notes This is uh...I don't know if you heard about this

Al-Haramain v. Bush, Warrantless Wiretapping Ruling

Judge Vaughn Walker ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the Al-Haramain v. Bush case, declaring the government's warrantless wiretapping program illegal. The summary judgment represents a significant legal blow to the executive branch's claims of immunity regarding surveillance conducted without FISA warrants.

1:49:58 Early last year it was discovered that a webcam attached to your computer could be activated remotely. Of course, we know that but did you know your printer can spy on you? A computer technician named withheld by request which I don't like This didn't run on April 1st now did it? No Let me see if I can find when it was Oh Happy April Fool's Day Ta-da! Good I saved your butt Thank You They just put that up apparently. I'd look for the April Fool's joke, thank you. Oh! I appreciate that. So as we wrap up... Wait let me tell you there is hope let me do a good news story then all right there is a good news story um Judge Vaughn Walker

1:50:51 who was hearing the case which is known as Al Haramein versus Bush has ruled for the plaintiffs and against the US government on a motion for summary judgment, which essentially means that government has no case. This was the warrantless wiretap so at least one judge said you had no warrants, you had no right to do this this was illegal and he wants to throw the case out And I'm happy about that, although i'm sure this is going to be just a small drop in the bucket. But it's always hopeful when you see stuff like this. It's like okay that's nice...I'm happy to see that Yeah yeah I think it's good

National Assessment of Educational Progress, No Child Left Behind

Diane Ravitch discusses the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often called the "nation's report card," and its role in revealing the failures of the No Child Left Behind Act. The emphasis on high-stakes testing is blamed for "teaching to the test" and a decline in general knowledge among American students.

naep· no child left behind· diane ravitch· education· testing· charter schools

1:51:38 So, after we're done signing off I want to play John Bolton's little diatribe on sovereignty. Part of his speech that he gave to the Heritage Foundation. Which is on sovereignty? On sovereignty two. And then there's, we're talking about charter schools and the rest of it next week. If you want to play a pre-kind of tease or you can play the NAEP education clip which is part of The Talk. It was an interview actually on C-SPAN with Diane Ravitch

1:52:19 And there's two pieces of information in this little clip that are quite interesting and something we're going to have to discuss. This is gonna be a little lengthy discussion when we do it on the next show, but people need to be aware what's going on and let me just put it this way no child left behind is screwing us all So what does NAEP stand for? The National...it's explained in the clip Very briefly, tell people who are watching what NAEP is. You used to be on the board that governed this and it's a test that sometimes is called the nation's report card. Just explain what it is and why? It's a federal testing program. It's called The National Assessment of Educational Progress.

1:53:02 It's often referred to as the gold standard of testing because it does not have stakes. It is given to samples, scientific samples of kids throughout the United States and also state by state. The NAPE test is given in reading and math every other year and its also given on a less frequent basis but it's also offered in U.S history will be offered world history and there are sciences tested writing is tested civics is tested So there are all of these different subjects that are part of NAEP, but it's only reading and math that is tested every other year. It's expensive but it gives us a very good snapshot of how we're doing what progress you're making and progress has been slow I mean oddly enough the biggest progress that has been made in reading and math was made before the adoption of No Child Left Behind and not since That's interesting What was done to get those results?

1:53:56 Well, I think there was an emphasis on improving without penalties. And I think that information itself is a valuable spur to improvement but we may have reached kind of a bottoming out point with all this beating up on people and that's why we've seen so little progress because We don't really have, I mean to make it progress for instance in reading you need a lot of general knowledge and there's no emphasis on general knowledge. There is just emphasis on reading skills and so we have many children who are trained to take the state test and they're trained like parrots or they're trained like seals They can take the state test they actually get fairly good scores on the state tests but then when NAEP tests the same children they haven't taken test preparation for NAEP because it doesn't exist

1:54:40 and they do poorly. We've seen no improvement in reading up to this point, and for eighth graders from 1998 to 2007 it's been flat. You know... What do you take away from this clip? Well, this is just part of a lot of clips if you want to listen the entire speech which is too long. But she's basically saying that these programs... I mean everybody senses this anyway that the kids aren't learning anything anymore they're being taught how to take the test because that did you know this state tests that they have now that they forced on people he like is if you don't improve in bob obama said this if the schools are improving all do better job on the test the next thing you know day you know that teachers gonna be fine again a move everybody to a charter school right here which is an emotional school right

1:55:31 Well, semi. That's what we're going to talk about on the next show and she has a long explanation about the history of charter schools and it is quite interesting and it's very educational but would you come away with this whole thing that she's talking about in the book which is called The Death And Life Of The American School System? And as subtiles something like how testing is killing us She says that, she has a number of theses but this thing where we're not teaching people things anymore. We're just teaching them how to take a test. And if you talk to kids nowadays and say all the emphasis is not school's so fun it's always about taking this test! Well its all about performance and the same with your credit score its all about the test and the performance and you have to comply

Tea Party Signage, T-Bonics Meme

A collection of photos documenting misspelled or nonsensical signs at Tea Party protests, dubbed "T-Bonics," is discussed as a potential manufactured meme. Suspicions are raised that some of the most egregious signs may be "astroturfed" by political operatives like David Axelrod to discredit the movement.

tea party· david axelrod· memes· protest· barack obama· political theater

1:56:19 The typical numbers game that seems to be played. I agree, no one's teaching anyone anything anymore. So we'll talk about that. Take the test! And i will say if you saw the meme email they came in titled T-bonics did you see that? No, I missed it. Oh, it was pretty hilarious here is a link its a flicker album collection 147 pictures of signage seen at Tea Party protests. Oh yeah, this is... You know, there's no... It's pretty funny. I'm sure it's hilarious but the fact is that half of the really dumb signs are put up by Axelrod and they're plastic! Yes, I agree. We don't have any proof that this is actual work. No proof about any of this stuff. I could go out there with a sign at an Obama rally if you don't throw me out and have something stupid to say. This is meaningless. That's why its a meme John!

1:57:18 Yeah, it's a total meme. They talk about it constantly. Oh these idiots! Even one of my bloggers posted a bunch of this garbage which is like unless you actually talk to the person and find out who they are I mean you don't know anything about these signs Then your actually just acting as part of the wheel and your just propagating more of it Just a couple quick hits here In the barackobama.com website store Now available for $25, health reform! BFD. As in big fucking deal. Yeah Which I wouldn't pay any attention to this other than that it's at the official barackobama.com store It's like okay That's weird Yeah that's more than weird Then one that'll get your goat This is from The Wall Street Journal PepsiCo who of course make a lot more then just Coke

PepsiCo Designer Salt, Nanny State Regulation

PepsiCo is testing a new "designer salt" with uniquely shaped crystals intended to reduce sodium intake by 25% in products like Frito-Lay chips. This development is criticized as an example of "nanny state" intervention in consumer diets and a potential gateway for undisclosed chemical additives in the food supply.

pepsico· frito-lay· designer salt· sodium· nanny state· food science

1:58:15 They make, they own Frito-Lay. And so they now are experimenting with a secret new designer salt whose crystals are shaped and sized in a way that reduces the amount of sodium consumers ingest however it's so special that they're not telling us what the ingredients are and their testing it. It will reduce the salt intake of consumers of such products as Frito-Lays, sour cream and onion by an average of 25%. This is that whole salt vibe. The salt thing is going on? Yeah I mean it's like can't we... this is the nanny state at work! Can't we determine how much salt we want to eat?! Why does the government have to regulate it!? There's something screwy going on with salt

1:59:09 We have to ask Comrade Axel over there in the UK, Gitmo Nation East to look into the salt commodity prices. I'm sure just like sugar something weird is going on and they're you know now that PepsiCo has some special secret formula...I mean was this gonna be another like chemical that's gonna be put into our food instead of salt? Some salt additive. Goldman Sachs moving right along as we wind up the show Says commodities may witness violent price spikes in the coming months slash years

Pornography Addiction, Sex Vaccine Theory

The Witherspoon Institute's report on the social costs of pornography is discussed alongside the media's focus on "sex addiction" in celebrities like Tiger Woods. A satirical theory is proposed that the medicalization of these behaviors will lead to the development of a "porn vaccine" to regulate human sexuality.

pornography· addiction· tiger woods· jesse james· vaccine· witherspoon institute

1:59:47 Well, there you go from the guys who manipulate the prices for you. Yeah, they would know thanks Although they lie a lot They're the ones who said oil was gonna go to 200 just before it collapsed So many times Goldman Sachs tells you one thing while something else is going on so keep your eye on it I let's put this way. I wouldn't put my money on their press release and And as Horowitz and I noted on the last time we did the DHM plug show that commodities have actually tanked. Oh really? Yeah The National Review has an interesting article based on some reports that the Witherspoon Institute released called, The Social Costs of Pornography. I don't know anything about the Witherspoon Institute

2:00:34 But this of course is a huge problem. It's an addiction, it's killing us. Porn bad. It's killing us? Yeah. Oh yeah it's killing us! Are people texting porn while driving? Is that the problem? You know, it's the conclusion is that we really have to get serious about pornography. That's the conclusion here Yeah Well then but we need some more laws that way they'd be easier to you won't have to plant kiddie porn on people's computers To throw them in jail just any porn by the way Nick nudity is now porn So that's one of the problems well I would like to know a little bit more about the addictive qualities Of pornography because this of course does tie into Tiger Woods and Jesse James a Sandra Bullock thing all these guys say oh

2:01:19 I'm addicted to porn actually they're not saying it the news media is reporting that they're addicted to sex too Addicted to sex right and How does one become addicted to sex? Yes, they They like it. I don't know It makes no sense as a biggest bogus thing ever I mean everybody technically is addicted to sex is the way that human population increases but the addicted to porn, everything has to be an addiction. I think this is part of the virology thing so in other words a vaccine. A porn vaccine! Keep it away from me!! You know...I mentioned this on Daily Source Code. I'm sorry after the show's over everybody should go get The Unexpurgated DVD of Clockwork Orange. Ooh yeah, ooh good one

2:02:13 This is worrying to me. I'm seeing this crop up everywhere, you know? This sex addiction... the internet is making sex addicts It's weird! Maybe they are coming out with some kind of vaccine against sex addiction And by the way, is it such a bad thing? Is it like horrible if you're addicted to sex. I mean don't think you're hurting any... You might hurt your own family and your own personal community but its not actually killing people is it

2:02:57 Oh no. Eric suggests roundup ready porn. No, this is a round up ready porn. Now what we all know is that the internet is of course actually made for porn. Finally to teach a whole lesson all by myself and I'm going to teach something relevant something modern The Internet! You know that song? Yeah. I love that song. Let me hear the chorus, and then we'll get out of here. And here we go! Nice

Body Piercing and High-Risk Behavior Study

A review of 23 studies suggests that doctors should screen patients with body piercings for high-risk behaviors, including drug use and "Russian roulette." The findings are mocked for their broad generalizations and the inclusion of extreme behaviors that seem disconnected from the general population of people with piercings.

body piercing· psychiatric screening· russian roulette· high-risk behavior· research

2:03:55 Of course, we learned from our neighbors that the Hilltop Watchtower was used many times by Vivid Entertainment. Oh really? Yes! So now there's a big search going on with Daily Source Code listeners... Don't eat anything off the floor! ...Daily Source Code listeners. Hey come on over John have a dip in our pool I just got to mention this last one because it kind of kind of in the same vibe No firm evidence exists that body piercing indicates mental illness. However, doctors should consider screening patients with body piercings for high-risk behaviors and psychiatric symptoms such as suicidal thoughts say researchers who reviewed 23 published studies

2:04:45 And here it comes. The analysis found, this is your money at work... the analysis found that the reported prevalence of body piercing ranged from 6.8% to 14% in the general population 4.3 to 51% amongst teenagers and young adults, females were more likely than males to have body piercing which was associated with a wide range of potentially harmful behaviors such as alcohol abuse smoking drug use high-risk sex Russian roulette and problem gambling Russian Roulette? I know! Russian Roulette

2:05:27 What is that? What is that all about this is what I mean man. This people have way too much time on their hands to do surveys So if you're a body piercer keep all guns at bay My daughter has piercings, I don't see her walking around playing Russian roulette or gambling dad can I borrow the revolver? and a bullet Just one That's all I need it's just one At least she's not asking for a Glock with one bullet. That's the wrong kind of Russian roulette. Russian Roulette with an automatic.

2:06:07 So don't forget everybody we're going to be playing that John Bolton clip after the show ends so stay tuned. Yes and we appreciate your support Dvorak.org slash NA and for the no agenda stream, that's for the future as you're helping us build that Dvorak.org slash NAS We appreciate your support and not only that but we actually need it to pay bills Coming to you from the hilltop watchtower crackpot command center where I'm gonna take a dip in the pool. It's gooey I'm Adam Curry If I were you, I'd get a black light and some bleach while I was doing that And I'm here in northern Silicon Valley where there is less of that sort of thing necessary and there's a storm coming I'm John C Dvorak we'll talk again on Thursday for the early service right here on no agenda

John Bolton Outro, Globalists vs. Americanists

The episode concludes with a segment from John Bolton's speech at the Heritage Foundation regarding the definition of sovereignty. Bolton frames the current political struggle as a conflict between "globalists" who wish to pool national authority and "Americanists" who believe in the exclusive sovereignty of the American people under the Constitution.

john bolton· sovereignty· globalists· americanists· constitution· heritage foundation

2:07:03 Sovereignty is a critically important issue for Americans. It's something we feel instinctively lies in all American citizens, you know the concept derives originally from monarchies in Europe The kings and queens were the sovereigns and to many people it seems abstract It doesn't have the immediacy that it does to Americans But we understand that in America, as the Constitution itself says it's we the people who are sovereign. So when you hear academics or people from the international left or some of our friends in Europe say, You know, the world is very complex now and these national sovereignties get in the way of solving global problems so we need to

2:07:51 pool sovereignty or we need to share sovereignty. What they're really saying is you need to give up control over the American government and you need to share it with other people now since most Americans don't believe that we have enough control over the federal government, the idea of pooling or sharing some of the sovereignty that we have is naturally objectionable. But this is part of a larger struggle that's been going on for quite some time, the struggle that frankly most Americans don't even know is happening And I characterize it as a struggle between globalists, people who think that all problems move in the direction of greater international discussion and resolution versus Americanists. People who think we're quite capable of solving problems staying within the framework of the American Constitution
