About this episode

Bret Michaels made a miraculous recovery from a brain hemorrhage just in time for the Celebrity Apprentice finale, raising questions about the timing of reality television medical emergencies. Donald Trump appeared on morning talk shows to discuss the season's outcome, while skepticism grows regarding the authenticity of the recovery and its alignment with Michaels' upcoming concert tour schedule.

UKIP politician Nigel Farage survived a small plane crash on election day after a banner became entangled in the aircraft's tail, an incident some observers characterize as a potential assassination attempt. In Amsterdam, a man's screaming during a Remembrance Day silence at Dam Square caused a mass panic, forcing Queen Beatrix to be rushed to safety. Meanwhile, Faisal Shahzad faces scrutiny over the Times Square bombing attempt as Michael Chertoff promotes biometric security solutions through his private firm. Politicians Rahm Emanuel and Michael Bloomberg are utilizing the event to advocate for banning individuals on the no-fly list from purchasing firearms, while Reverend James David Manning organizes a trial in Harlem alleging Barack Obama was a CIA operative in the 1980s.

Executive producers Tom Derry, Clancy Childs, and Joseph Willis receive formal knighthood as the show celebrates its value-for-value model. A clip from Doctor Who featuring Amy Pond suggests the writers may be listeners, as the Doctor repeatedly uses the phrase in the morning during a pivotal scene.

CHAPTER 02 / 38 Discussion

New Orleans, Dead Cuisine of Louisiana

Louisiana's traditional cooking is characterized as a "dead cuisine" that has failed to evolve since the 1840s. While famous establishments like Antoine's and Commander's Palace maintain historical status, the food is criticized as unhealthy, outdated, and overly reliant on frying. Specific dishes like Bananas Foster and gumbo are described as unappealing relics of a bygone era.

02:25 Don't get me started. What do you mean after we had a whole meeting about me setting up for that? Yeah, I think this nobody wants to say it so I was in New Orleans Sunday and interesting you say New Orleans when most I could say Nolans Norlands But I can see whatever I want yes. You know I was in New Orleans and and nobody ever wants to say this they also you know in yeah i would like a chance to from antwan since eighteen forty big on the side of the building and beautiful place beautiful massive dining room nice bar their armies bar in the rest of it this is what he says and once right it's very famous oh yeah yeah i've been there no one's ones so uh... have been there a number of times and that the one thing i don't do much there is eat

03:19 You know, we actually did see a hooker. Yeah! What was his name? Believe me this was no guy but anyway so when it says Antoine since 1840 what they mean and I think generally speaking what they mean throughout the city is that the food is from 1840 you know there's a thing in people always want to talk more about food and wine do it, just do it. This is a dead cuisine. The cooking in Louisiana is a dead cuisine that hasn't changed. You know fashion's changed we don't drive Model A Fords anymore We don't drive cars from the 30s or the cars that look like they're from the 30s There is this thing called fashion and fashion and food and living cuisines are always changing The French don't eat the same foods they ate

04:11 1840. We do have Chinese food in the United States from 1860 when the coolies came over to help build the railroads they brought their cooking with them and it froze in time you can't find egg foo young in China because china has a living cuisine that's much different than what the crap that they serve in the middle of nowheresville usa and so far as food is concerned in the chinese restaurant answer this food in new orleans has become kinda it's like a throwback it's it's all breaded fried uh... you know nothing jambalaya gumbo this stuff hasn't made a move for a hundred years and nobody's ever called out to call them out on i think when emerald legacy moved down there to try to if you get your

04:53 revive the corpse he was unsuccessful and it's kind of pathetic to be honest about it I ended up eating some North Carolina barbecue when I was down there that's about the best food I had. Wow John this is pretty big news, no one really does this and just says hey you know what? Food just kinda sucks It totally sucks and its dead but the problem is actually yeah if you wanna go to New Orleans and visit for a day and have some old gumbo and jambalaya Crap from the 1840s. Yeah, I have some crap from the 1840s live it up But you know to think that this is a good cuisine it's totally unhealthy It's very unfashionable. It's not the kind of thing you'd eat day after day unless you wanted to drop dead prematurely It's just completely out of vogue

05:38 and they don't want to change it because I'm presuming that whatever you're doing down there, the check already cleared. It wasn't the government paying me. Well who knows? People can get pretty weird about that when... Hey! Our food's good! all right i was in and they should get over it and send them either you know kill it revive it or try to do some but i don't think is revivable because always old ford's his own ladies an old man that go up there they go there to have their meal at lands ones are the commander's palace or whatever that place they go to and a year i had to get lots of portions one other things they had served at the globe but we're out as i one of the parties at this uh... company pinnacle dot

06:26 put together and uh... you know they had a bunch of the food was you know somebody but he had this thing at the end all you gotta have the bananas foster here's another as a typical uh... dishes another difficult dish from the eighteen eighty nine it looks like dog diarrhea Well, Bananas Foster in this case is what they did. Essentially they took a bunch of bananas and mashed them up and cooked them with like a ton of butter And then dropped it on top of some ice cream so you could just drop dead right on the spot if you really wanted to I don't know Anyway...I found it annoying that people won't admit or face up to the fact that louisiana cooking is sucks it's a dead cuisine is this did you know if you can have a once in awhile but its it's a dead cuisine is but it's kind of pathetic moving right along john could you please inform us if we have any executive put by think we have some uh... executive producers for this episode right yes and sorry for boring everybody does not know was important was funny entertaining uh... we've got a couple um...

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Executive Producer Knighting, Karma Club Douchebags

New executive producers Tom Derry, Clancy Childs, Joseph Willis, and Jason Winkle are recognized for their financial contributions to the show. The segment includes a "douchebag" call-out for low-value donors and a discussion on listeners liquidating assets to go "all cash." References are made to alternative media figures like Alex Jones and David Icke regarding the "veil of deception."

07:25 We have, let me slide the thing over. Sir Tom or his orchestra is going to be Sir Tom I think. Just Tom? Tom Derry has become a knight. He's an executive producer at $583 and Clancy Childs who is also gonna be a knight is now a kid for $551 dollars and then Joseph Willis from Palm Bay, Florida. And oh by the way Clancy Childs is from London. Joseph Willis 533 so those are our executive producers we have the three and then we actually were gonna have four We're not going to have any associate executive I've made it a policy kind of just for awhile to make 333 33 that's gotta be an executive producer right? So what should the last one we have four executive producers in the last one is Jason Winkle

08:14 uh... stefan bill texas and um... they all have long-winded notes that we should do you want to read a new is anything one of our own i was sir clancy has the double nickels on the diamond move the decimal point as he's in a new market yes your numerate dammit unit lasted innumerable And he wants to call out a few douchebags. So this is the other side of the karma club, looking forward to my knighthood but would still like to call out Marshall Stark and Scott Phillips as douchebags who have donated a penny! Not a penny damn it! Of course one of them will now donate a penny which we never get because PayPal takes the penny. PayPal takes a lot of our money. Yeah they do. They take it unfairly sometimes

09:06 We have to stop those bastards. Send in a long note that he's listened for a long time. This would be his first donation liquid money was scarce to decide to give up on this society cash out my stocks and reinvest in what I have faith In your show helped me get that last kick in the pants to abandon my former world go all-cash Yes, exactly Go All Cash! Go all cash Thank you for your excellent show that reassured me in times of desperate solitude that I was not crazy huh yeah it's a fact thank you adam for boldly questioning and walking the wild side thank you john for keeping the show linked to the forced consensus reality makes your substance more generally palatable then ike sorry I don't know this other guy who is this sorry sorry sorry in that another Alex Jones clone who spell

10:01 Well he's got here says he likes David Icke who is you know who he is and then he's got Jones obviously referring to Alan Alex yeah Alex, I mean. And then there's Sarion T-S-A-R-I-O-N Who was that? Never heard of him. Must be another one. The chat room will know I have labored in vain for some time to open the eyes of my friends and family to the underlying reality that your show glimpses, or at least makes them aware of the veil of deception your show exposes. Alas! The lizards of Ike and his ilk were just too icky." Which I agree with... And that mountain of information too. insurmountable to enlighten anyone else I know. I had high hopes that your show would pierce the veil, but they are too busy being slaves to make them open their eyes to your show and notice their chains." Well upon that note i think we should definitely thank our executive producers Tom Derry Clancy Childs Joseph Willis and Jason Winkle you know our formula please go out there and propagate it and say it proudly everybody! Our formula is this... We go out, we hit people in the mouth

No Agenda Network, Google AdWords Campaign

Mats Wernell from Stockholm launched noagendanetwork.com to aggregate various community websites. A listener utilized a $100 Google AdWords coupon to run advertisements for the show. Additionally, a prank caller successfully used a "no agenda" catchphrase during a live call-in segment on Leo Laporte's TWiT network.

no agenda network· google adwords· mats wernell· leo laporte· twit

11:06 I got a couple of PR efforts. First of all, there's a new site. Brilliant idea from Mats Wernell from Stockholm Sweden he started noagendanetwork.com which is really something we needed very smart so this is a site that has all of the No Agenda sites listed on it with a beautiful little preview image Oh cool! Yeah, its amazingly good So noagendanetwork.com by the way if you just go to Google and type in NO AGENDA

11:49 We own the whole page. The whole page! It's about time. Yeah, it's fantastic I got a quick note here from Daniel. I think this is Daniel Das Wunderkind who did the the fantastic essay Out of the blue Google sent me $100 coupon to try out Google AdWords so he implemented that Here's the ad which you may see running around no agenda show deconstructing the news since 2007 in the morning So do we thank Daniel for doing that? There was the funniest ever, you know I guess on Leo's twit network he has like a call-in show in the middle of the night when one his producers sits there and takes calls. He's been playing with that idea so it probably does which is what i think is a fun idea although if you don't have call screeners its very difficult to do that and maybe even know that but if you don't have people screening calls it never really works out well although did work out to our advantage in this case

12:48 Hi, what's your name? Where you calling from West Virginia. Hi is this Frankie is that accurate what Google Voice said yeah okay hi Frankie What your comment? Oh, I don't really have an agenda. I just want to say good morning in the morning to you all Okay, oh well thanks Yeah, did you want to say anything about what's in the news or any comments on the iPad or anything? Not really So he flubs the line but then he really comes back strong which I thought was nice yeah No, I don't really have anything to say. I'm out of here there is now also There's now also no agenda espanol

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

Doctor Who, No Agenda Code Phrases

A clip from the television series Doctor Who featuring the character Amy Pond is analyzed for potential "No Agenda" code phrases. The repetition of the phrase "in the morning" by the Doctor leads to speculation that show writers may be listeners. Listeners are encouraged to add their executive producer credits to their IMDB profiles.

doctor who· amy pond· bbc· imdb· media credits

13:37 which has been set up. It's noagendaespanol.ning.com although I think someone could easily register at noagendaespanol.com and it's essentially us in Spanish, and then a couple of people sent me this and you know and i listened to it several times...it's from the latest episode of Doctor Who And there's a couple of in the mornings in here, but at a certain point at the very end it says 30 second clip. You've got to think that somebody actually might be listening to this show I mean...I'm not going to put it beyond the realm of possibility normally people send us a lot of clips you know with actors and as a line about in the morning But in this case It really sounds like there's code going out to us. It could be no still not getting it doctor in a word

14:30 In one very simple word, even you can understand. You're getting married in the morning? Well the morning's a long time away. What are we gonna do then then? Amy listen to me I am 907 years old Do you understand what that means It's been awhile Yeah no! No! No! I'm 907 and look at me i don't get older I just change. You get older...I don't And this can't have ever worked Oh well you are sweet doctor but I really wasn't suggesting anything quite so long term But you're human, you're Amy! You were getting married in the morning. In the morning? I mean come on... I mean that there's no reason for him to say it that way We have a lot of writers that listen to our show There is no reason for him to say it any other way than that right Yeah well it's pretty suspicious

15:17 I liked it. Did you mention to everybody that they can use this on their bio? That pitch of yours No, i'm sorry I didn't and I believe that some people are actually seeing some success with entering this executive producer credit into IMDB uh... it seems to take a while but it seems to be possible which tells you a lot about by him tb because he did have to have at least a movie or television credit to go along with that if you have one of those then you definitely get this definitely gets added and know that for sure and uh... of course you can put on your cv will vouch for yet is an official credit as a credit the uc all the time on

Nigel Farage, Election Day Plane Crash

UKIP politician Nigel Farage survived a small plane crash on election day in the United Kingdom after a banner reportedly became entangled in the aircraft's tail. The incident is scrutinized as a potential assassination attempt, noting the commonality of light aircraft accidents involving political dissidents. Media coverage and public comments on the BBC are criticized for being overly negative or moderated.

nigel farage· ukip· plane crash· bbc news· assassination attempt

15:57 on movies, on television series and it goes the same for no agenda show. This program would not be possible this episode in particular without these executive producers and let's face it all executive producers do is pay for the show and get laid Yeah, and unfortunately with our operation the laid part is still to come And now you can't even go to New Orleans again late Well don't mention my name so Just a quick. I was gonna do a quick two-to-the-head since this okay? Have one new orleans story we have to discuss for a few minutes because of course that I woke up to this this morning it being election day in Gitmo Nation East

16:41 And what better day than election day to try and kill a politician? Who got killed. Well he didn't quite get killed, our favorite guy Nigel Farage I find this to be peculiar So Nigel Farage who's the Farage right Yeah He is like the troublemaker and now they're gonna try to kill him Well, doing it on election day is beautiful in a small private plane which is always the favoured method of the elite to kill people. Right, CIA's... or the economic hitmen thing Yeah and so yeah of course there's no accurate reporting right now here's what I read like oh they were gonna tow a banner it got caught up in the tail someone else there was a crosswind Oh please! Why would he be in a plane towing a banner?

17:31 Well, it's a real politician thing to do. You know he was going to the banner was to vote and he's been in the plane waving I mean what is the point of him being in his plan in the first place? I found that very strange as well. Uh...I will say though that just looking at the pictures or whatever was available but looks like the landing gear snapped off upon landing Oh, is that it? And they somersaulted. So two things... Ouch! Yeah oh yeah no he's been on he was in and out of consciousness and I received another report that there may be more serious injuries than they thought. Yeah probably after the crash

18:08 Yeah, he's not dead. No he's not dead. No, that's what they say Let's get him to the hospital and play a prank crash with all the gunshots after the crash What's really interesting though as I'm looking around all of these like BBC News and times online? The comments in these stories Everyone hates this guy There's not a single person saying, well I wish him well. No it's like... Well there were some funny jokes like uh..I guess the plane had two right wings okay? I see that as kind of funny But everyone is like you know, big head who... You think the comments are being moderated? I definitely think so

18:48 Yeah, you think somebody would like the guy? I mean we like him. Maybe we're misunderstanding what people think about him in the UK We'd like him in European Parliament because he calls out the obvious The British would love a guy like him I don't understand There's some meme there something going on and they are...there is more than just a physical assassination happening right now so Yeah, it was just like whoa man that's pretty heavy. Anyway I certainly hope he is okay and we'll find out more you know there are all kinds of funny things you know it was a Polish plane which by the way is true It was? Well maybe there is a secondary meme going on here because that other plane you know there are polish guys in it and they're trying to get the message Polish There's alot of memes going on with that

19:40 So anyway, it's just like when you wake up in the morning and there is a million Twitters, a million emails. And actually my heart starts pounding like oh my god what have they done now? I'm like okay at least he seems to be okay and then I get messages well it may be more serious than they thought. Like are you right they're going to go get him into hospital Yeah, they go in the hospital and give him the wrong drip. The next thing you know he's died from complications So we won't... I don't think we'll know We won't know the outcome of the election in Gitmo Nation East today because i don't think all the votes are in for a while It takes awhile to count I can tell what is going to happen though Do you think it's kind of weird that we just matter-of-fact assume this guy was set up to be killed? And most of our listeners are probably like nodding their heads

20:29 Yeah, I thought about that. My aviation instinct is to say okay what went wrong? Looks like maybe had a really hard landing but then when i read the accounts which of course everything is different and when people say like oh it was a crosswind! I'm like okay blow me assassination you know when they're spreading that kind of bull on the BBC news planes land...that's why you have pedals to land in the crosswind That's the whole point You can't be always landing directly into the wind. It doesn't exist! No, it's not that... The odds are low Yeah In fact when that happens we're like wow that's kind of cool the wind is right on the nose That's nice for a change How did that work? Yeah you know so yeah when you start reading that is like okay and of course all the UK general aviation forums there's nothing being discussed I don't know Just one other thing which will mean nothing to anyone except for listeners from Gitmo Nation Lowlands

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

Nick Clegg, Dutch Language Fluency

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is featured in an interview speaking fluent, high-level Dutch. The discussion highlights his elitist background and family history, including claims of his grandmother being a Russian spy. His linguistic ability is presented as evidence of his internationalist and upper-crust upbringing.

21:27 I found an interview with the new star Nick Clegg. who is representing the Liberal Democrats in this election. Yeah? And I should actually just play it for you, because... He was interviewed in Holland? He was interviewed in Holland! Remember I told you this guy is from a total elitist background right? Yeah totally and uh.. You know his whole family is full of spies His grandmother was a Russian spy Now listen to him answer a question from a Dutch journalist So this is the journalists asking a question In Dutch So I can't tell you how weird it is to hear this guy speak perfect Dutch, completely fluent. That's Nick Clegg? But not just... but it's like elitist high-Dutch

22:28 I mean it's upper crust Dutch. And his mom is Dutch and and i knew this but had no idea the guy spoke perfect dutch, I've only heard him speak in English! The effect is a little different when you're not a native speaker but I'm like what? This is amazing! It's just amazing now let me just get rid of this one while we're on because I'm sure that this is another Lowlands thing but terrorism is working in Gitmo Nation Lowlands You know, every year on the 4th of May they have a commemoration ceremony where at 8 or 2 minutes to eight I think it's at eight o'clock. The entire country is silent for two minutes. People stop on the highway no one says anything people actually stopped twittering and for as long as i've been in that country this has been going on there's a big ceremony on the dam there's a wreath laying and this is too commemorate the fallen in World War II

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Remembrance Day Pandemonium, Dam Square Incident

During a two-minute silence for Remembrance Day in Amsterdam, a man's screaming caused a mass panic in Dam Square. Queen Beatrix was rushed to safety as crowds broke through barricades. The event is cited as an example of how the fear of terrorism has made the public highly reactive to minor disturbances.

amsterdam· dam square· remembrance day· queen beatrix· terrorism

23:26 And it's pretty amazing when the entire country is silent. Okay? So, they're doing their thing on the dam and they're about 1 minute and 45 seconds into it... ...and then someone starts screaming and well I'll play the clip for you and you can kind of hear the pandemonium so it's completely silent now. And now everyone's just running they're falling through barricades The Queen is being rushed off It was like

24:04 Total pandemonium, yeah it doesn't really come across that well in audio unfortunately. Total pandemonium! Which has never happened before as far as I know...I just got to send you this link John just take a quick look at it and was like everyone freaked out Just completely freaked So what happened? Did somebody scream and they all went nuts Well of course the story is very sketchy but you know they say oh well some guy started screaming someone dropped his suitcase And they got the guy, they subdued him by the way he was not an unknown to the police so of course there's no news. No one really unknows what is going on. I can't look at this because i have to sign up or do some crazy thing What? Just to look at a YouTube video?! Yes! This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some... Oh you have to say your over 18? No! To view it I have to verify that im over 18 by signing in and signing up Well thats bullshit

25:01 Tell me about it like they did I can't have my this particular computer. I'm not equipped to do that So, oh watch it later But yeah, it sounds like they're just there on edge Yeah, and you know, it was just like wow, you know terrorism works. Yeah now works here I mean the whole one of but I think a part large part of our show today is gonna be discussing it I have a very interesting angle, which you have some idea about because one of our listeners sent us or one of our producers sent us a slew of links but i already had some stuff on it. Let me guess this is about the New York City bombing? Yeah! You've heard of it. Yeah sure I have

CHAPTER 09 / 38 Discussion

Times Square Bombing, Michael Chertoff Security Pitch

The attempted bombing in Times Square by Faisal Shahzad is linked to a renewed push for the "Secure Flight" program and the "Clear" biometric ID system. Former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff is criticized for promoting security solutions without disclosing his financial ties to the companies involved. CNN is also noted for promoting a special titled "American Al-Qaeda."

faisal shahzad· michael chertoff· tsa· secure flight· cnn

25:45 There's a lot of crazy stuff about the New York City bombing, and we might as well get right into it if we want to. Because this is a point that we've made on the show before about other issues and how they sneak in this propagandistic crap. Go to the clips too... Okay yeah you send a lot of clips man! Sorry okay by the way I think i'll have a different take on this than you believe or not You know what you could. But it doesn't mean your take is, or my take is wrong but let's listen to a couple of things I think there's a plot afoot uh...I'm not convinced that this guy was anything other than- I don't know what this guy was he was obviously nuts

26:29 crackpot could have been working for the CIA, we have no idea. He keeps showing that stupid picture of him everywhere they're overplaying it that's all they talk about in the 24-7 news but here is a couple I want to play these clips in order I got Prelude To The Real Reason which is a TSA pitch that I had never heard before but I didn't know they were even going to do this but here's that creepy guy Chertoff making his pronouncement. Well, the problem in this case is that the no-fly list is still operated by the airlines and not by TSA. There's a program called Secure Flight which

27:27 which we launched a few years ago, although it was delayed frankly by the airlines. That will when it is fully implemented eliminate this problem because it will no longer be up to the airlines to deny boarding but it'll be up to TSA But I should point out Campbell that there was a backup here which did work Which is customs and border protections ability to look at manifest You know before... Let me just say cause I did get something came across the news wire So you heard him mention the secure program. Do you remember the clear program, John? This was a thing that... Yeah it's been reintroduced. Well but reintroduced it was bought by Michael Chertoff! Oh thank you, you got me okay. Here is the company was taken over by All Clear LLC whose board includes Michael Chertoff former Secretary of US Department of Homeland Security

28:23 They bought verified identity pass which filed for bankruptcy. You remember that we talked about that and everyone wanted to know what was going to happen to people's information so there's Chertoff doing a commercial for himself! The point is, why doesn't he disclose? Okay so he didn't disclose. So they want to move the no-fly list off of it They want to get it away from the airline so they can control it Meanwhile CNN has THE commercial Is that the one titled The Commercial? That's what I call it. And the award for most athletic, most likely to succeed is... and most likely to become a terrorist! The one ever suspected would be American Al-Qaeda CNN starting next week 10pm Eastern What the hell is that?! American al Qaedas starting next week at 10pm Nooo! American Al-Qaeda It's the homegrown terrorist everybody

29:24 Okay, so now they're working this very nicely into a promotion for their crappy show. And so now I'm thinking about wait a minute there must be more! There must be more! A bigger agenda and And we found link after link after link asserting the following and then I catch it. First, I catch it on CNN and then I catch the meme on MSNBC exact same meme exact same bull crap We've heard it before they try to do this every way They can't play this is what it's all about one Also, an accident that maybe didn't have to happen if the government agency that's supposed to regulate the oil industry was doing its job instead of cozying up. And I mean literally in this case to industry executive evidence that some these government watchdogs were actually having sex with oil industry executives even doing drugs with them we're keeping them honest and new information tonight on the Times Square terror suspect

CHAPTER 10 / 38 Discussion

Gun Control, No-Fly List Legislation

Politicians including Rahm Emanuel and Michael Bloomberg are using the Times Square incident to advocate for banning individuals on the no-fly list from purchasing firearms. This move is characterized as an unconstitutional infringement on Second Amendment rights without due process. Bloomberg's suggestion that the bomber might be a "mentally deranged person" who dislikes the healthcare bill is highlighted.

30:17 We'll talk terror and why being on the no-fly list apparently doesn't disqualify you from buying a gun. In tonight's Big 360 interview with Bill Maher, we'll cover that, we'll talk about Islam and we'll talk about the oil spill with Bill as well Those stories are a lot more later at the top of the hour Oh yeah because the guy apparently bought a gun legally so this is about taking your guns away Great, thank you Keith. Another startling reality about all this if Faisal Shahzad had had time he could have stopped off on the way to Kennedy Airport to that Emirates flight he was trying to board and bought a gun or some actual explosives because being on the no-fly list does not mean your also on the no buy gun or stuff you can blow people up

30:57 Yeah, that's what Rahm Emanuel said. I don't have the clip handy but he had a speech said he felt that anyone who was on the no-fly list should also not be allowed to have a gun. Why? Well because he is Rahm Emanuel! What about that one guy Jim Johnson or whoever it is there some name that very common in half of population and they're on the no fly list and their life has been nothing but hell ever since Hey hey hey hey hey hey... Don't yell at me I'm just a messenger. you're having your second amendment rights taken away from you without any due process whatsoever that's what's going on here and the people have to be aware of it there they've been doing this they've been trying to pull the stunt over and over and over again i'm not a big gun nut but i got out but is so obvious what's going on here that is almost like hello did you hear uh... bloomberg wait wait well and what does this thing about all we have bill maher

32:03 going to interview him about the bombing and about the don't fly with us. Because he's already been hired! When has he been an expert? On guns, don't you understand?! He is already on board with the program and people love him! They love him!! He is an expert! Listen what Mayor Bloomberg said to Katie Couric this blew my mind when I heard Bloomberg say this about who because of course that's the question before they Knew that he was a homegrown terrorist. Here's what Michael Bloomberg had to say If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that somebody who's Homegrown maybe mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda That doesn't like the health care bill or something could be anything

32:54 What? Someone who doesn't like the health care bill. This is the mayor of New York City, it's somebody who doesn't like the health care bill Unbelievable. Can I just take a, so I totally agree that this is certainly being misused can I but can i just take a Just give a different Yeah, I'm all ears. I mean I got mine out of the way yeah a possibility So the guy's from Pakistan wait wait he's not gonna blow off flying saucers though right? No well close Close no not that bad Okay, so the guy is from Pakistan

Predator Drones, Obama White House Correspondents Dinner

President Barack Obama's joke about using predator drones on the Jonas Brothers at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is contrasted with the reality of drone strikes in Pakistan. The Times Square bomber's alleged motive—retaliation for drone attacks—is discussed as a legitimate consequence of U.S. foreign policy that the media is now forced to acknowledge.

barack obama· predator drones· pakistan· jonas brothers· blowback

33:35 Yeah. You know, there's many ways to piss people off and one of the ways to piss people off is to kill them with predator drones and let's be honest that you know... And there's a lot of that going on in Pakistan that is severely under-reported we talk about it from time to time but certainly not all the time so if the president gets up in front of a world stage for the World Press and says the following The Jonas Brothers are here. They're out there somewhere Sasha and Malia are huge fans, but boys don't get any ideas I have two words for you predator drones You will never see it coming You think i'm joking? Now when I hear that and let's say that

34:39 I know some people who have been killed by a predator drone. They might get really pissed off! Well, I doubt this guy was listening to the... that in the first place because that was the uh... correspondent for the Comedy Act. But still, you know the cavalry is- Well here's what okay I'm not arguing the point of the guy that maybe in fact they can... Here's a but here's what bothers me about it because this got into the meme machine if you play from the clips one selections play motive WTF Hold on a second. Yeah got it Thank you kindly, Evan Coleman MSNBC counterterrorism analyst.

35:30 Good evening, Keith. Alright officials said Shahzad today told him his motive one of his motives supposedly give out four or five of them Motive for the attack anger over the US targeting Taliban leaders in Pakistan With drone attacks is that going to affect us policy impacts? Okay All right Okay now let me let me stop before we go on uh... is of course the stupid question that can affect us policy but what's the way made this guy and i'm doing it this guy a bomb in a mad bomber he is under right now he's under interrogation as we speak when do interrogators and in the past or ever start to reveal dvd some of the foundations of the interrogation so they would really all his motives are six different things and they released them well the guys still being questioned whether that ever happened

CHAPTER 12 / 38 Discussion

Faisal Shahzad, Bomb Squad Training Drills

Reports indicate that a bomb squad training session was occurring in New York at the same time as the Times Square incident, raising suspicions of a staged event. Anomalies in Faisal Shahzad's background, including his father's high-ranking status in the Pakistani Air Force and his own quiet life as a systems analyst, are explored. The narrative is compared to the "Jihad Jane" case.

faisal shahzad· bomb squad· lee county· jihad jane· anomalies

36:19 You know, I was going to play you an awesome clip and of course some... Of the one clip i didn't record. Of course the video has now failed so I can just tell you what it was Lee County Sheriff Michael Scott And this is a news report on W-I-N-K News He actually said well over the weekend I was taking place in New York City Bomb Squad training session Now we know from experience that whenever something like this happens and there happens to be a drill right nearby on the very same day, it's usually a setup. And now it's even crazier of course at this one clip

37:02 well i will let me know if you have a lot of things about this character there that are anomalies supposedly he had his dad was they not only an air force uh... major some officer in the pakistani airport but he was they had to have the which essentially the blue angels of pakistan So he's a famous guy. The guy comes over here, marries a woman to become a citizen for some reason and he gets a couple of degrees at small Podunk universities... For some reason it is a great country! That is your reason? He gets a couple of... not if you want the vomit that may be his reason but anyway then he get a couple degrees in some podunk university and gets a job as system analyst. He married with two kids

37:45 Where is the wife? Yeah, good point. How come they're not standing in front of her lawn Where is the wife yeah you'll never see her that's because maybe the whole thing was it set up It looks totally fake so I just have one more... And by the way, they put Jihad Jane and you know that she did her trial has been put off. Yeah well of course this is a much better story! Jihad Jane isn't working anymore no one's buying that crap stupid Jihad Jane so you know what's taking place on the 14th of May in New York City?

CHAPTER 13 / 38 Discussion

James David Manning, Columbia Obama Trial

Reverend James David Manning of Harlem is organizing a "trial" to prove that Barack Obama was recruited by the CIA in 1980. Manning claims Obama worked as an undercover agent in Pakistan and Russia to facilitate arms deals for the Taliban. The segment notes the lack of classmates who remember Obama at Columbia University and the mysterious death of a State Department employee linked to passport records.

james david manning· barack obama· columbia university· cia· harlem

38:22 And I'm thinking this could totally be the reason for tighten down security, not allowing people to come into New York City. You know what's taking place on the 14th of May? Do you know? No! Okay let me play it for you... It's our friend I am James David Manning, senior pastor of the Otlow World Missionary Church in Harlem. This is our Mac Daddy friend John! Old Mac daddy Now listen to this... ...New York. I'm also the originator of the Columbia Obama trial scheduled for the 14th of May 2010

39:05 Due to the growing threatening circumstances surrounding this trial, I must now release the full transcript we wish to present and document and prove at the Columbia Obama trial later. and he claims to have all this evidence that Obama is a CIA agent. Yeah Have you ever heard any of his evidence or what he says he'll be proving on the 14th May? No I'll tell ya, i'll play a little bit of it maybe we should play his whole clip at the end Yes let's play the whole clip at the end But just a little just wet your appetite It's unbelievable Later this year Obama was recruited in 1980 by the CIA

39:54 while a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. The CIA needed Muslims who were fluent in Farsi and other Islamic customs and understandings Obama was perfect as an undercover agent the CIA then later enlisted Columbia University to extend his foreign student program to Barack Hussein Obama that he might enroll in the universities around Karachi and in Pakistan, and also the Patrice Lumumba School in Moscow.

40:36 With a perfect cover and the US student identity Obama became the lead agent in the arms and money supply to the struggling Taliban army against the Soviet war machine And on and then you know remember that they were trying to the passport case where personnel were lifting the president's passport files. Right, right yeah they were trying to get...yeah they were! Well that was a big scandal. Yeah that was Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr., did you know that he was found dead in his car? No really?! The guy who tried to get the Obama passport is now dead too to the head!? Yeah well it was in 2008 of course we missed that. Right after it happened but we missed it

41:33 Total two to the head. So I'll play that it's like a 15th. Let me see how long is it? It's uh, It's like a 10 minute clip and I'll play that at the end of the show you will not believe this guy actually he said He has proof This says the reason why he's reading you the transcript of what they're going to prove during this trial Is because of the dangerous situation which of course is exactly what's taking place now This is trying to be disrupted. I would think And he says he's going to prove all of that and the stuff that he says, oh my god. You know we've John you and I have talked about no one ever heard of him at Columbia No one ever saw him nowhere. And then he says well He lived like a monk to this up this David Manning guy. He's like he's got people you mean Obama We know and heard of them there Yeah, if they should people keep bringing it up where are old bomb as college buddies? Yeah

42:26 Now Obama says he lived like a monk, so this Manning guy has... people are coming from all over the country all over the world to this trial and some of them will be dressed as monks with like monk hoods and stuff. So this is getting a lot of play on mainstream media isn't it? Yeah yeah lots of people talking about this. You heard it here first! Well, something's up. You're right okay? Well I think it's still something of a conundrum This character this bullshit bomb There's all kinds of stuff But when I hear Chertoff come out and promote his own company essentially And then on all the gun stuff

CHAPTER 14 / 38 Discussion

CIA Media Analysts, Terrorist 2.0 Narrative

A surge of former CIA officials appearing as news analysts on networks like MSNBC and CNN is identified as a propaganda effort. These "spooks" are promoting a "Terrorist 2.0" narrative, suggesting that future attacks will be less sophisticated but more numerous. This shift is described as the "Ministry of Truth" preparing the public for a permanent state of low-level domestic threat.

cia· msnbc· savannah guthrie· ministry of truth· spooks

43:16 It's like, you know... You can almost see the meeting. Alright? We're gonna shut this Reverend guy up I'll tell you what anyone else can benefit from this Yeah yeah hey let's use that to take away guns Yeah good idea check mark What else could we do Mike Mike Mike Mike whatcha got? Yeah well I got the all clear program starting up Let's promote that Okay good This is a triple header Yeah, that's what it looks like. They're just putting stuff on top of stuff and they're using the same wordage and it's on CNN MSNBC I mean I haven't heard the there probably was on Fox I can only listen to this one show at a time And but the fact that I can catch two of these things out of the blue Within a few hours of each other means everybody's throwing it out there It's just not a coincidence and uh... Here is another thing that bothering me

44:05 And it really showed up a lot over this new cycle with this character from Pakistan. I'll give you a hint of what it is, but you can play the clip CIA opinion numerous malarkey clip. You want me to play that first? No setup? Yeah and then we'll talk about this problem With this case sources adding it does not necessarily mean that the group engineered the plot On this network meanwhile this morning The former director of the CIA telling our own Savannah Guthrie That Shahzad is a new kind of terrorist This learning enemy is now adjusting to the fact that if he does something very complicated, it takes a long period of time. By and large we'll detect it and disrupt it so what happened in Times Square this past weekend? What happened on Christmas Day is a new model

44:52 Because Al-Qaeda now knows, if they hug them too close too long we'll find out who they are. So what we have here for the new model are less complicated attacks frankly attacks that would probably be less severe Attacks that are less skilled and therefore with a lower probability of success But now heres' the very bad part Probably alot more numerous It's turned out to MSNBC Okay it's good It's terrorist 2.0! It's bullcrap but here's what bothers me there was a uh... i'm saying including some woman again didn't get her name and i'm a guarantee will talk about her maybe next show of who use parent was in the bush administration she's really actually kind of uh... party yeah you know and your end that milky way you like and it wasn't a no was it no-no-no she is also notice once differences this was a little more uh... a little more uh... dragon lady looking anyway so um

45:49 CIA, this is the bald guy that used to be the CIA's director under Bush. I can't remember his name but he always wore a Navy uniform or an Army uniform of some sort. Uh...I'm watching all these shows they're doing it now and every other guy that's on the show we're not hearing from College professors who know the area or local news reporters from Pakistan or from anybody who actually knows anything We're hearing from CIA CIA CIA I have never seen so many CIA people on television Over the last few days. I thought to see you never used to hear from the CIA There was a thing that bothered me, I want to talk about about a month ago some spy

46:30 The famous spy from the end of World War II died and he got a huge tribute in the New York Times. Spy dies, you know? And it shows a picture of him living it up someplace and talking about all this great spy work. When did spies become like these heroes? I thought they were supposed to be quiet behind-the-scenes not bothering anybody but now they're on-the-air analysts with their opinions sucks! It's not very interesting. You know, we get no insight when they're when they after 9-11 I remember they would have people on that gave you nothing but insight these there were a lot of them professors That have studied the area or some specialty or they had a book out that they did 25 years ago That is still that everyone uses as a bible and they used to be on the tv No now cia guys i've never heard of and then their

47:23 pronouncing this and that, and they're making all kinds of judgments. And the ex-security people from the Bush administration that seem to work for Obama? I don't know." Yeah well that's kind of the cool thing about it is you can roll out anyone and say he was a spook and then how are you going to check it right? You don't know that because he was CIA there's no background on the guys. Right! That's perfect well I think the people who listen to this show by now realize that you're watching The Ministry Of Truth. That's all that it is It's well done. It's not well done! It could be better done, that's the point. Let's get off of this let me switch gears I figured something out John it was staring me right in the face right in the face I tell ya yeah we've been talking about salt

CHAPTER 15 / 38 Discussion

Codex Alimentarius, Global Food Regulation

The global initiative to reduce salt in industrial food is identified as a mandate of Codex Alimentarius, a United Nations project. New York City's "National Salt Reduction Initiative" is presented as the local enforcement of these international standards. The regulation of food additives and supplements is framed as an erosion of personal liberty and the implementation of global governance.

codex alimentarius· united nations· salt reduction· michael bloomberg· fda

48:16 Oh yes, and you know this has been an issue of people who don't listen to the show all the time. There's a theme that showed up as another meme but it's red I have been trying to figure it out It was so easy we've actually been talking about it on this show almost from episode 1 And all of us unlike oh duh and the reason how I figured it out one of our producers sent me a note from Israel From the symbol, symbol, symbol online. It's a Google translated doc. Ministry of Health works to reduce salt in food So of course this is exactly what we've been hearing in every country. Ministry of health decided to reduce the amount of salt for industrial food products manufactured in the country blah blah blah

49:04 And we've been seeing all this news about salt and you know, and PepsiCo who own Frito-Lay. They're gonna do it they have a different kind of salt and it's all salt and we have to reduce salt and restaurants can't use salt." And then I was like, Of course! Codex Alimentarius... Oh, I knew you were going to say that It's the Codex Alimentarius and I spent a couple hours yesterday going into the website and here it is, the guidelines for simple evaluation of food additive intake. It tells you exactly how much salt a human being is allowed to have by law and this is United Nations project there's 160 people represented within the Codex Alimentarius Starfleet Command

49:55 And there's YouTube videos. It's just disgusting when you hear how they're going to regulate our lives! And this is what it's all about, John. It's all about what YOU can eat... What is safe for YOU and here's just a quick example. A strawberry farm in Guatemala. A wheat field in South Africa. A sidewalk cafe in Paris. Different scenes, different parts of the world but connected And that connection starts here. There's like a whole room full of people Meet Codex Alimentarius, the United Nations organization that establishes the world's food standards. Standards based on science that guide global food production and ensure it is safe. Codex Alimentarius and its technical committees make the connection between this... ...and this.... ...and this

50:58 For consumers, what could be more straightforward than shopping for bread? Alright well you can watch those videos that are listed in the show notes. Oh this is already... it makes me sick! Well you know this is what I was warning everybody about No no you've been on this since.. You're right almost the first show we've ever done you've been bitching about The Codex Alimentarius And I told ya Okay so they got some salt thing in there and now everybody's kowtowing to why do we Why? Why is our government or anybody, the local governments and your buddy Bloomberg I think is all over this in New York City. They're trying to eliminate salt shakers from the table so we can't salt our food if we want too. Well in New York it's called the... Hold on a second well first of all here it is It's the ADI John Acceptable Daily Intake Shut up slave! Here's what you can eat

51:48 And so the acceptable daily intake is an estimate by JECFA on the amount of food additive expressed on a body weight basis. And basically, the Codex Alimentarius is now law in the United States of Europe that went into effect January 1st 2010 exactly as I said it would And this is why it propagated through Europe first. They're taking all kinds of stuff off the market, and not that I give a crap but you'll hear a lot of commercials about colloidal silver... I don't care if you are smoking silver! That's up to YOU! But now you can't get any of that, people believe in that stuff

52:29 And they're taking all off the market, now they're regulating our salt and you're right in New York City it's called the... Let me see what it is. There like the Salt Reduction Initiative or something like that It's just completely nuts! Here it is. The National Salt Reduction Initiative which New York City is spearheading. And this is global governance, this is what you get! And we've been telling you about this and here it is and there's no turning back because as you know there are all kinds of agreements with the World Health Organization This is how the swine flu shots got jammed down our ass or up our ass You must take it, we have a pandemic, woo yes! So now? It's solved and who knows what will be next Well its gonna be whatever in that book

53:19 Dude, it's not a book. It's like a library! This is not a simple book! Well who's gonna enforce this bullcrap? Well New York City is enforcing it Who are the cops are going to come into a restaurant and say okay salt shakers shut Shut it down people shut it down everybody out well in New York City cop Is gonna do something he's gonna write a ticket for missing salt or additional salt shaker on the table Are you telling me that's gonna happen I'd like just get that on tape Well, I'm not putting it past the realm of possibility. But all i just want to say is this is what the Codex is about This is how it works There's a huge campaign underway It's very similar to The Trains which I am sure we'll talk about later Is just...it gets into the mind, gets into the psyche All the drama sitcoms are on board with it Everyone will be talking about it I'm sure Haylen Nolten has been hired by now And before you know it You'll be eating shoe leather

54:18 and liking it. Go watch the Soylent Green movie, people! Shut up slave! We told you so! Ha! Yes we did. Well that's depressing... Well we told you so? We told you as like three years ago Yeah no And may I say I brought this up in a couple times You would actually go Oh brother here he comes with his Codex Alimentarius Oh brother And there you go. That was a good voice, yeah doesn't sound anything like me but it's pretty good well let me mark that You should be doing cartoon voices Oh if I...you know it would make me some money! I'd be happy Holy crap speaking of such uh maybe we should just go for it I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab

CHAPTER 16 / 38 Discussion

National Train Day, Warren Buffett Freight Agenda

National Train Day, scheduled for May 8th, is identified as a public relations campaign managed by Hill & Knowlton. The true agenda is argued to be the promotion of freight rail to benefit Warren Buffett's Burlington Northern Santa Fe acquisition, rather than passenger travel. Actor Taye Diggs is serving as the celebrity spokesperson for the event.

national train day· warren buffett· amtrak· taye diggs· hill and knowlton

1:14:07 Conversation do you I mean what do what do you have John Deere? I'm in the train thing. It's just it's just humorous Well, the train thing is getting to the point of being ridiculous. And the fact that people keep mentioning it as a likely possibility... and for anyone who hasn't heard our theories on the train thing my particular thing is that the whole train thing is set up to promote travel by train but in fact its to promote freight by train and somebody wants to pick-up they want the government to pick-up improving... The TAB! the tab and meanwhile Warren Buffett becomes even richer because he bought Burlington Northern. So we had Warren Buffett being interviewed by MSNBC or CNBC on a train but of course you have to know that National Train Day is May 8th John, National Train Day!

1:14:56 When did that happen? This is such a setup and people should be really annoyed with their government. Well, so the reason why it's important for us to talk about this and we can keep flogging this dead horse forever But I'm gonna get off the trains after this show So then in a year or so will just do another We Told You So and we'll be done with it Okay Yeah, unless something really weird happens right more train stuff. The reason why I think it's important, one you have to understand how this works. How the media is infiltrated? How are you taught and mind controlled and programmed that planes are bad trains are good air travel bad hassle trains good

1:15:42 The the way the media is manipulated Manipulated manipulated the way that is done. It's phenomenal to watch remember The guys Hill and Nolten are behind this and if you think it only happens with trains, then you're kidding yourself But it's fun to watch And once you know what to look out for You just keep stumbling over stuff and its end it actually makes you happy so amongst all of them It does amongst all of the depressing crap that we talked about on this show. You can actually smile and go off There they go again, I know how it works so first of all they're very smart They're bringing in celebrities now So they brought in Taye Diggs who is of course he was in house Stella got her groove back

1:16:23 He's a Broadway actor and he is the spokesperson for National Train Day. And I agree with John that this is about moving goods, you always look at Warren Buffett the guy hasn't gone wrong in a long time it's about moving goods not about moving people And I'll tell you why it's not about moving people. Because everyone is always talking about how incredibly great it is in China and its oh so sophisticated A little story from 2006, you remember that adult diaper sales were soaring in China because these poor schmucks who can only take the train now are packed into these trains and they can't take a crap so they have to wear diapers

1:17:06 and that's in the show notes no agenda showed there is your trains in china story rains in china so anyway here's uh... here's our our spokesman now for national train day uh... tate digs everyone take a serious invite you to join me in celebrating the third annual national train day on saturday may eighth my love of trains began when i was a kid and that magic i felt during my first train ride has stayed with me all my life that's what national train days all about It's a celebration of America's love of trains through fun, free events taking place nationwide. That's what it is all about John! It is the celebration for our love of trains I didn't realize that I loved train until this morning when Tay reminded me of it. I'll be in New York City on Friday May 7th to kick off the National Train Day event with special unveiling at Penn Station After that I will boarding the train Washington DC to host festivities Union station on Saturday

1:18:05 Join me in New York or DC, or check out the great events in Chicago, LA and Philly as well other events around the country. Each signature event will feature exclusive train tours, model train displays interactive exhibits hands-on activities for kids live cooking demonstrations musical performances and so much more. Yes, so you have to see live cooking demonstrations on a moving train is that what I mean? Well the sponsor is Subway You gotta go to nationaltraineday.com to really believe it but now here's what happening so Helen Nolten of course have the job of getting people to buy into trains. So we spend our hard-earned taxpayers money Yes, so we have to discredit plane travel and this is what I've been all over And I believe a big part of hassling people We even heard the president say on Sunday show that hey you won't have to take your shoes off and we know what that's about That stupid plane travel! We know it sucks! We've got antiquated airways

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Modern Family, Anti-Air Travel Propaganda

An episode of the sitcom Modern Family is analyzed for its portrayal of air travel as a dangerous and bureaucratic nightmare. The script includes jokes about planes being "buildings on their side" and a child character being placed on a no-fly list. This is framed as "predictive programming" designed to make the public more receptive to train travel.

modern family· abc· tsa· no-fly list· air travel

1:19:09 So this of course has to get into the psyche of the American people. We have this fine program called Modern Family, aired last night on ABC and on this episode they're going on a family trip A family trip and they're going by air to Hawaii. But listen to how much of such a hassle the fly flying sucks, some choice clips from the program. We've been over this air travel is incredibly safe I know but at the end of day it's still building on its side being thrown from one place to another with a movie not helping

1:19:46 Ha ha ha, that's right. It's still a building on its side flying through the air from side to side But wait there's more! Dramamine I wish i had that the last time my flew Tell you the plane was rocking up and down back and forth...I thought the wings were gonna snap off That's right wings are gonna snap off What? You're gonna throw-up And here is the best Here's this little 13 year old kid with a TSA because it's a hassle to fly Excuse me ma'am Is this Manny Delgado? Yes. Your son's name is on a no-fly list. Ay, please! We've been through this at the check in He's not the same Manny Delgado I'm just a boy trying to bring Sahal back to travel we just have a few questions to ask No, this is a mistake What if my husband waits? Step this way ma'am. Dave! Ma'am, step this way please. Son... No pushing! Right this way slave So the whole episode is about how horrible it is to fly The whole episode Yeah, I'd rather take the train to Hawaii

1:20:41 Know that's the best part That is the best part So now you'll just watch it. You'll just watch Continuously, you'll see all this train stuff and we'll play We told you so in a year or so when? When the big promise of trains is really to move stuff It may be used to move people To the film while I'm stood up for awhile until they look at the numbers And they're gonna do it just through showpiece and they say well, you know nobody's really interested. So there you go So I visited, when i was in New Orleans, the lower ninth ward. Tell us about that this was the area destroyed by the breaking of the levee

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

New Orleans Ninth Ward, Media Misrepresentation

A firsthand report from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans contradicts mainstream media portrayals of the area as a desolate wasteland. While some abandoned buildings remain, significant reconstruction is visible, with residents living in rebuilt homes and children playing in yards. The media is accused of cherry-picking ruins to maintain a specific narrative of permanent disaster.

new orleans· ninth ward· katrina· army corps of engineers· construction

1:21:22 Yeah. Not by Katrina, but by the breaking of the levy which was built by the Army Corps of Engineers and was... They keep reporting on it over the Ninth Ward and they show movies as all this destruction is there nothing's been done in this you know that media plays us up it's a good story every once so while you go down your center reporter they run wander around and I have will say there's a couple of streets where there's a bunch of abandoned buildings Turn around, there's a guy whose house has been completely rebuilt. He's mowing his lawn There are people all over the place It is not abandoned like it shows on TV I got a couple of great signs. I took a picture of a sign that says Flood Street I thought they'd never know how they missed that one

1:22:05 that's funny yeah i think i got a kick out of it but it's like uh... you know there's a couple broken down things and then the buildings that were left at our essentially been abandoned because if you know people who've left town and move someplace else they took their insurance money if they had any and they just left because is not worth the trouble and the places are gorgeous fallen over in the but this does not what is going on depicted places back people living all over the place of the many districts are completely fixed up uh... so why is this being portrayed as a total bear wasteland? It's bullcrap! And when I was coming back people on the airplane were talking about this, yeah see i got to go to the ninth ward and it looked fine. Huh well that's interesting. I thought so. Huh. And if you go one little couple streets down where you leave the ninth ward into another ward which is also flooded then the entire area has been completely rebuilt

1:23:02 And there's construction crews everywhere. And there are people roaming around, and there are people in their front yard playing baseball I mean it is just bogus what you see What they're showing on television is bull crap Interesting...I wouldn't mind understanding why that is It's a good story Right and the wrecked buildings are pretty cool-looking. There are really right it is kind of cool, isn't it? And there's like wow this place is a mess I got an awesome commercial from Pennsylvania you know what so tax day and the date for paying is now kind of gone and

Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty, Sinister Surveillance Ads

The state of Pennsylvania is running a controversial tax amnesty advertisement that uses Google Maps imagery to "target" a taxpayer's home. The ad, featuring the website paytaxup.com, is described as an overtly sinister display of government surveillance power. The campaign threatens that the government "knows who you are" to coerce back-tax payments.

Tea Party Primaries, Media Marginalization

Mainstream media outlets are reporting on recent primary results in Indiana and Ohio to suggest the Tea Party movement is losing influence. The narrative focuses on the victory of establishment Republicans over insurgent candidates. The segment argues that the media is attempting to marginalize the movement by labeling participants as "lunatics" or "racists" despite the diversity of candidates.

tea party· republican primaries· indiana· ohio· david obie

1:25:22 you know this is a thing that's going on in fact they have the uh... their course are playing this up as much as they can look at the clips to play the tea parties that stuff this is the mean that they're gonna be pushing for awhile The thing that's going on is there dude. I'm glad we got so much money. I can buy a new mic stand Yeah, yeah instead of that toilet paper roll you use toilet paper roll which one am i playing here? You're playing the tea party in clips to oh okay that already closed the folder yes Here we go Tea Party ourselves and our top political story tonight signs that Tea Party candidates may not quite be voters cup of tea two of three

1:25:59 Three hard-fought Senate primaries yesterday in Indiana and Ohio went to mainstream Republican candidates. Ohio's race yet to be decided, but the Republican establishment not breathing a sigh of relief just yet. Take a listen Three big states held primaries last night and those allegedly angry voters could have stormed the polls in droves and thrown out the bums. In the key Republican races, there were two in Indiana especially, uh... The incumbents won now their margin of victory was more narrow but the Tea Party movement didn't throw the bums out as you said

1:26:35 You gotta ask how much muscle are they gonna have come November when they say they're going to take down some Democrats. It seems they're more successful enforcing retirements than getting voters to the ballot box A big name on Capitol Hill announcing his retirement today David Obie, Democrat from Wisconsin Chairman of a formidable House Appropriations Committee leaving after 41 years in the House of Representatives Anybody think that maybe is quitting not because of the tea party because he's old Yeah, and and he was the chair of the health care bill right so no yeah I think it was now. He's a chair of the finance committee that and

1:27:29 uh... the you know they try to make a tea party out to be a bunch of lunatics and crazy people in a try to make about the racist legal on a feed kick back on that one especially when we have a lot is only thirty two black candidates running as republicans this Just go around and these 32 black candidates are banking on the tea party to get him some votes Which is kind of interesting, but now they had to go to the next step So they since nothing's worked is now you have to marginalize them. Yeah, they got no power big talkers They couldn't turn out the vote if they wanted to we don't even know the details of who got in and who got out Details on this story it's just a bunch of screaming lunatics

Afghan Poppy Harvest, Operation Flintlock in Sahara

U.S. Marines are reportedly providing fertilizer and seeds to farmers in Marja, Afghanistan, during the poppy harvest season, suggesting involvement in the drug trade. Simultaneously, the U.S. is launching "Operation Flintlock" in the Sahara Desert. This expansion is framed as securing drug smuggling routes under the guise of anti-Al Qaeda military exercises.

1:28:07 And then they'd say the Tea Party people got no influence now. So, this is the last stage they can hope for which is a tea party I don't know but they're not important anymore we've gone on to newer things Yeah nothing you see here folks move along Headline of the day John All right Marines provide Marja farmers with fertilizer and seeds during crucial harvest season How come were are only two guys who keep pointing this out? There's another one that I found which is kind of interesting from the BBC. So for people who have never listened to the show before, which i'm sure there's somebody out there if they didn't hang up while we're thanking everybody... Yeah right Is the fact that it's obvious that were in the poppy growing business Well and we're expanding US starts anti-Al Qaeda military exercise in the Sahara We are expanding! Now we are in the desert

1:29:02 The three-week Operation Flintlock aims to improve the ability of the region's armed forces... ...to work together, to bring security to the area. It serves as a base apparently for the group Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and has seen increased terror attacks. And here it comes! Drug smuggling is also growing Yeah, I'm gonna be around here. We need to grab the route we need the route. That's exactly what I like a pipeline It'd need the route let me assassinate a Toyota commercial for you for a second of course by the way We didn't talk about it on our previous show. I had it in notes production for Toyota cars all-time high now record high

Toyota Safety Ads, Million Dollar Hourly Spend

Toyota's new "Safety First" commercial claims the company is spending over $1 million per hour on vehicle technology and safety enhancements. This figure is criticized as a nonsensical marketing statistic similar to "jobs created or saved." Despite recent recalls, Toyota's production has reached record highs as the media frenzy surrounding their safety issues subsides.

toyota· safety· advertising· r&d· car manufacturing

1:29:46 I'm like, how does that work? Well they did have to... by the way here's a couple of things about the Toyota deal. One, where are what would the news on Toyotas being crazy is dried up completely! Well let's rekindle it with this commercial see if you can spot the crazy thing they're saying i really love this This is a safety first commercial Over the past 50 years Toyota has been proud to be a model of quality car making But recently, the safety of our cars and trucks has come under question. And at Toyota this is something we don't take lightly That's why we're making fundamental changes inside our company to communicate with customers better and respond to their needs faster In addition We're currently spending over a million dollars an hour To enhance the technology and safety of our vehicles I just saw stop it there A MILLION DOLLARS AN HOUR?

1:30:46 That doesn't make any logical sense. It's in a commercial! Listen, A million dollars an hour I gotta play it again. Spending over $1 million an hour to enhance the technology and safety of our vehicles. How do you calculate that? This is like jobs created or saved. Shouldn't they have little asterisks that says actual money spent based on calculation? This is like a billion dollars over just a month or two this is bogus But it's a good idea. Why are they even saying that? It's in a commercial... I don't know, this is Hey look! Production is at an all-time high Something's working Yeah well they had to go and start putting all their cars on sale That helped quite a bit And they did get a lot of attention A lot of people came out and defended them Toyota makes by many standards the best car anybody makes I really had to laugh at this article in The Telegraph So Telegraph actually They do report and I'm sure the guy said it

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Osama bin Laden Claims

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in an interview with George Stephanopoulos that Osama bin Laden is living in Washington D.C. He asserted that bin Laden was a former colleague of George W. Bush in the oil business and never cooperated with Iran. The statement is treated as a provocative jab at U.S. intelligence and political history.

1:31:45 But I have not had it came in this morning, so i've had no time to get any cross references on it. This is uh Mahmoud Ahmadinejad president. Oh, yeah I actually have may hit that up let me just read it to you Yeah, I don't have the clip oh Yeah, he there were a clip in English of him saying it no did he's saying and then they were translating it okay? He says Osama bin Laden is not in Tehran. He in fact is living in Washington DC He says, and they gas him again. What's his name? Stephanopoulos says to him you're kidding me right and he says no no I'm pretty sure he is living in Washington. And at one time with this buddy Bush Yeah that is exactly what it says which was true he was the previous partner of Mr. Bush referring to George W They were colleagues infact in the old days You know that they were in the oil business together They worked together Mr Bin Laden never cooperated with Iran but he cooperate with Mr. Bush

Tennessee Floods, Red Cross Fund Mismanagement

The massive flooding in Tennessee, which submerged the Grand Ole Opry, is highlighted as an under-reported disaster compared to the Times Square bombing. Allegations of cloud seeding and "chemtrails" prior to the storm are mentioned. The Red Cross is criticized for using the same text-to-donate number for Tennessee as they did for Haiti, raising concerns about fund allocation.

1:32:49 He's in Washington, living the high life. Hookers and blow! Hey all he needs is a shave who's gonna know? Exactly who the hell is gonna know except that he's tall so We should talk briefly since you were kind of in that region about Tennessee because I find The under reporting of Tennessee to be irritating this is it This is a huge disaster. For Pat Cee its particularly irritating Yeah but this is a huge disaster I mean this is... They flooded the grand old Opry Hotel which nobody ever thought anything like that would ever happen. And i have a list of 25 reports, you're gonna laugh at me, of chem trails over Tennessee before this happened Yeah well in this case there's nothing to laugh at This is not uh this side-I don't know where you're going with this one Well um I'm just saying that it's interesting I don't know that chem-oh well you mean they were seeding the clouds?

1:33:51 Yep, seeding the clouds and just like tons of people. To what end? Why do you want to flood out Tennessee out of the blue? I don't know but it worked! And The Red Cross this is also irritating remember the Haiti text $10 to save Haiti Yeah So uh... It's the same number 90999 for Tennessee Flood Relief It's the same number The red cross is taking your money and buying Bigger limos, hookers. I'm telling you isn't that luckily Tennessee is the volunteer state and so they're helping each other out very well but this is a disaster of epic proportion and it really doesn't get

1:34:36 The play that it should, I think. Everyone's paying... It's like the New York City Bomber and all this other stuff. No, Arizona... Most of the news that is not about a disaster is about Arizona which is bullshit and then everyone has got the big oil slicks coming in And they're going to cap it probably in the next few days. So, they'll probably cap it off and it will be like at 200 thousand a day for five days? A million gallons? Well you know I've been doing a lot of research on this and

Glencore International, The Oil Cabal

Glencore International, a massive commodities firm based in Zug, Switzerland, is identified as a central player in the global "oil cabal." Founded by pardoned fugitives Mark Rich and Pinkus Green, the company is preparing for a massive IPO. The segment links these private equity interests to the broader manipulation of global energy markets and political pardons.

glencore· mark rich· pinkus green· bill clinton· zug

1:35:17 In fact, I have an insider that i've been working with for hours on end during this week. So there's so much to talk about that I really can't do it because... Well let's put it off and we'll do when all the data comes in. No no no! What I meant to say is It's a recurring theme that will have to continue throughout, probably throughout the existence of this program because this oil cabal as I'm calling it and as its titled in the show notes has been set up before i was born. And I have to take you back to Zug Switzerland for a moment Back to Zug! Back to Zug Switzerland and we discussed on this show the pinkish green

1:36:09 Do you remember this? Just that the money that's been stashed away. No, it's a guy oh there's two guys Pinkus Green and Mark Rich Oh yeah okay And so Pinkus Green was the commodities oil trader who was thrown in jail for trading with Iran and for other fraud, and it was the most controversial presidential pardon probably in history when Bill Clinton pardoned the guy. I thought it was Mark Ruehr that other guy who was pardoned by Clinton

1:36:48 uh... mark richard both both of them both of them it is green received a controversial presidential presidential pardon along with mark rich from bill clinton in two thousand one so have you ever heard of glenn kore dad now this is the biggest company you've never heard of glen core international agee which is the company owned and well he has private investors are owned and run by Mark Rich, and Pink is Green. Swiss-based company of course they're located in Zug is looking at Wikipedia here one of the largest suppliers of commodities and raw materials also among the world's largest privately held companies 50 thousand employees! Fifty thousand employees

1:37:40 this and when you start looking into this company it blows your mind so here's a guy who was a crook and he was thrown in jail Clinton basically gave him a get out of jail free card and now we know why because when you follow all the steps the next thing you get to is the first reserve corporation which is a private equity fund. And that's, of course where everyone's putting their money in Glencore is going to go public in a year or two. It's going to be the biggest IPO ever, these guys will own the effing world and when you start to dig into this oil spill

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Deepwater Horizon, Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund

The Deepwater Horizon disaster is analyzed as a financial maneuver to drive up oil prices. BP's leadership is linked directly to Goldman Sachs, and the legal liability for the spill is limited by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. The "Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund" ensures that taxpayers, rather than the corporations, bear the primary cost of the environmental cleanup and economic damages.

bp· transocean· goldman sachs· oil pollution act· gulf of mexico

1:38:21 There is absolutely no motivation to have this thing cleared up quickly. In fact, when you start reading the memes and you start looking at all of the news not just the well of course it started with oh BP's got a clean this up BP is your they're responsible will there not its trans ocean we talk right you might as well play that clip that I have of this BP CEO saying just that so we can assure people okay and then I'm going to tell you little bit about BP Does the buck stop at your desk? Well, we weren't... it wasn't our accident but we are absolutely responsible for the oil for cleaning it up and that's what we intend to do. How can end up in your accident sir? We're working very hard to... well the drilling rig was a trans-ocean drilling rig It was their rig and their equipment that failed run by their people with their processes

1:39:15 So they've already received $401 million insurance payout, link in the show notes. Transocean that is They've already received the insurance money But you have to understand two things One Who is in charge of BP? Well, BP is owned by banks. It's not like some private company with a bunch of British guys who just started an oil company no it's owned by banks and Lord Browne is the Group chief executive he is a non-executive director of Goldman Sachs Peter Sutherland Non-executive director of BP rejoined the board in 95. He his other interests include chairmanship of Goldman Sachs So this is just to indicate to you that this is the oil cabal goes it's just banks That's all it is as banks and its banks and trading And as I said, the whole setup is this we want to we want Obama to stop production

1:40:15 which he's done. We want this thing to be a huge, a huge disaster and all we're going to stop oil drilling because what happens is the price of oil goes up and this was on a perfect track but somebody messed up This is the funniest thing ever So I'm watching the price of oil And then all of a sudden...and this is on when it's this? The 3rd May Some bonehead Jeff Childs comes out on Fox and says, hey it looks like we're slowing it down. Boom! You could see the price of oil drop like five dollars immediately And then this same guy, this BP guy Doug Suttles he comes out and says oh no that's not true that's not true you would see me doing cartwheels down the hallway if that were actually the case No no no it's not gonna happen It's going to take months to fix this Months I tell ya

1:41:15 Price of oil starts to go back up again. They are taking the oil from Russia having it refined in China, shipping it over to Rotterdam. It's being stored on barges they're gonna run the price of oil up to a hundred plus dollars a barrel and then they're just going to pop all these barges open they're gonna make a shitload of money and then they're gonna do it all over again this is only going on for years yeah they did it by what a year or two ago exactly exactly the same thing and then there's all these...and this is how your media is working for you so

1:41:51 Well, the satellites can't... I got a couple of these links. The satellites can't see the oil slick because we're not really seeing any pictures all you're seeing is fire. Pictures of fire this thing is already at the bottom of the ocean and were still being shown pictures of the fire well the satellite can't really show you how big the oils slick is because the oil is sinking under the water Oil is lighter than water it floats. It floats and then literally saying well We can't see it on the satellite because it's sinking a little bit because of the waves, so Sorry, that's bullcrap. This is absolutely not true now who's actually gonna pay for this you have to go back to the oil pollution act of 1990 specifically the oil spill liability trust fund a 2.7 billion dollar Trust Fund which was set up during the Bush administration and All of this is going to be paid for from this fund that the Treasury is running so guess who paid for it Yes You and I

Goldman Sachs, Gulf Short Position Hoax

A satirical article by Andy Borowitz claiming Goldman Sachs took a short position against the Gulf of Mexico before the oil spill was widely reported as real news by alternative media sites. Outlets like Infowars and the David Icke website failed to recognize the piece as comedy. This incident is used to illustrate the lack of fact-checking in both mainstream and alternative news cycles.

goldman sachs· huffington post· andy borowitz· alex jones· infowars

1:42:55 The liability of Transocean, and this is all in the documents that I put in the show notes. Is only for the rig itself! This is in the law they have to clean up the rig and the immediate area of the rig They are not responsible for the fish For the shore or any lost business All of that will come out of the fund And it's here It's a law as part of the Oil Pollution Act Yeah Setup years ago Yeah, there's also some sort of cap of 75 million on certain things and to show you how How stupid it is even the? The alternative media so there was a joke on Huffington Post this guy Andy Borowitz And he writes all kinds of crazy stories. Let me give an example of Some of his he's a comedy writer

1:43:49 He writes for the New Yorker and the New York Times. And so he wrote a story which was posted on Huffington Post, the Borowitz report In what is looming as yet another public relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today that it made a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico one day before the sinking of an oil rig. New revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice Fabulous-Fab Touré In which he bragged to a girlfriend the firm was taking a big short position on the Gulf. One oil rig goes down, we're going to be rolling in dough Mr Torrey wrote in one email suck it fishies and birdies So of course this is a joke but this is posted on Alex Jones's Infowars.com David Icke website Rensa dot com like oh Goldman Sachs bet against the gulf that's total bullshit

1:44:45 But these guys posted it like it was real. Are you kidding me? A comedy writer! No I'm not! A comedy guy did this thing and... And it was posted as real news. Oh yeah, it's total bullcrap and it got posted everywhere oh my god switch batteries You know that's the uh one of the things when a guy who likes to listen to our show and he mentions he likes us better than uh... some of these other shows that do this kind of or try to do the sort of deconstruction they mention alex jones yeah i've always find alex jones to be a something of a phony Well, so you know but this just shows you and I get a lot of information from these sites as well. But when it's just cross-posted everywhere i'm like okay so no one is actually paying any real attention but the real meme and you can watch out and you can latch on to this Is in fact I think I have the president saying it

CHAPTER 28 / 38 Discussion

Brazil Oil Shift, Gulf Drilling Moratorium

The Obama administration's response to the Gulf oil spill is framed as a strategy to shut down domestic drilling in favor of investments in Brazil. Significant capital from firms like First Reserve Corp is moving toward Brazilian oil fields. The predicted outcome is a three-month delay in capping the leak to justify a permanent shift in U.S. energy production and higher consumer prices.

barack obama· brazil· petrobras· oil drilling· gulf coast

1:45:41 Because he's on board with this. President Obama is on board, you know all these guys gave him money the whole idea is to stop drilling the whole idea is to run up the price of oil so these people can make...these elitist dickheads can make a scrap load of money and so it's now be even though we have absolutely no proof I'm not saying it's good I'm not saying I'm happy with it but But is this the massive disaster of epic proportions of all time ever? I don't know about that. Now, I think the American people are now aware certainly the folks down in the Gulf are aware that we're dealing with a massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster The oil that is still leaking from the well could seriously damage the economy and the environment of our Gulf states And it could extend

1:46:31 for a long time. It could jeopardize the livelihoods of thousands of Americans who call this place home. So... Call this place home? Yes, so the story and I link to it in the show notes that was again posted everywhere on the same websites, godlikeproductions, rented.com, infowars.com is the story unless God steps in and fixes this no human can and this is what's being prompted... The internet has totally been hijacked and this one I actually caught

1:47:10 And everyone says, oh we received this letter. Every site starts the same way I received this letter some guy in the know that i know sent me this letter an engineer who specializes in oil technology. Oh yeah! Hoax hoax hoax. Heard your mention of the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico this morning and you and most everyone else except maybe George Norrie are totally missing the boat on how big and bad a disaster this is And I have 20, I'm an engineer 25 years of experience and so this is totally put in to help you believe that we have to shut down all oil exploration in the Gulf Coast because I am going tell you where it's gonna go. It's all going to Brazil

1:47:53 Everything's going to Brazil. They're all moving down there they're gonna shut all this stuff down in the Gulf Everyone's going to get oil in Brazil half a billion dollars invested by this first Reserve Corp in In a Brazilian oil firm, they're all moving over that way but they're gonna take three months So what are we today? We're May 6 so may June July so in August When everything has been shut down in the United States and they've already raped us at a hundred dollar plus barrel of oil, they're gonna bring it down. Oh well it's all great Brazil is where its at It's all happening good we found oils going to pull back a little bit and they're gonna do it all over again And this has been going on since the 50s Yeah well They do a damn good job of that you know I have to give them credit

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

Russian Oil, Chinese Middlemen and Tanker Storage

Financial data suggests a complex scheme where Russia sells oil to China, which is then shipped to Rotterdam and stored on offshore barges. This artificial restriction of supply is intended to inflate global oil prices. Once prices peak, the stored oil is released into the market, allowing the "oil cabal" to profit from the volatility.

russia· china· rotterdam· oil tankers· market manipulation

1:48:49 Yeah, I mean yes you really do but it's important for the listeners of No Agenda to understand that this is really the big game. And how...I have proof here, I have financial statements well I have to throw them away officially showing the Chinese selling oil that they get from Russia How crazy is that? The Russians are selling oil to China! I thought they hated each other then i know it's all the like a reason gangs and they sell it to rotterdam is going to sit on barges is gonna float around yeah when he did that was there when they try their head up to two hundred uh... with goldman sachs saying it was going to go to two hundred they had a headache they feel that all the bars were filled but you know there's like if there's like two little groups fighting with each other because the other group is the ones that want to get us off oil wanna get more fuel-efficient cars because that puts the screws of these guys who are poor starting to put the oil on barges

1:49:48 Because you know at some point, you can't stop pumping this stuff. I mean if you blow up the rig but generally speaking it keeps coming and so at some point you got to release the oil and then prices drop back down they drop back down pretty precipitously And there's lots of opportunities for shorting by the way during that era My favorite part of this is where... So this email is where 200 thousand barrels of oil a day came from Which, you know there's no scientific evidence that I've seen of this. No we have no idea how much there is. It could be next to nothing for all we know. But it's in this email and uh... i think this is the email that says The only way we can plug the hole is with a nuke! And like all we need now is Bruce Willis and in a deep dive submarine to go down there and plant the nuke To stop it You're being played! You're just being played. Yeah. And by the way There's no stopping it

All we have is thank yous, but yeah this is the only way to do the show if we had advertising... in fact I have a couple clips and not gonna play them this week where they guys on a roll and he has to take a break on one of these shows then then their whole thing dies because energy's gone and who knows what they're telling the guest in between say hey shut up about that stuff jerk!

CHAPTER 31 / 38 Discussion

Open Source Media, The Deuce Show Prep

Plans for the 200th episode, "The Deuce," include a deconstruction of the show's "open source" production model. The hosts discuss the "value-for-value" philosophy, referencing Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. They highlight how the show's brand is non-trademarked, allowing listeners to create their own forums, merchandise, and networks freely.

1:54:15 How about the show notes? Do we have enough people to start sending those out? No, no. We have enough but it was... I'm gonna- we're gonna have to change what we're gonna do with the show notes Why?! Well, we got a show note guy who's going to put up a website and maintain them for us and uh.. I don't know It's just hard that will have to chat about it so it makes something that makes sense Let there be something we talk about By the way, I've taken some notes for The Deuce Show You want to hear some of my notes or what I think we should talk about? We're gonna deconstruct our own show. I know that's that's what i'm saying here, right? I've got how we prep It's just gonna be a short show Please are you kidding me? I'm at this all day

1:55:04 Yeah, but that's done. You've just told them how we prep so now the way we can talk about in the show The benefit of our model y'all the open source model how producers help how he gets stories I'm gonna go back to a lot of the genesis of the show and I actually got the family guy episode weenie in the butt. This is the most important part That's our Genesis now because there's a lot going on here There's more than just I think an outstanding product that we deliver to people there's something amazing happening where we were able to start to see some form of sustenance

1:55:47 in making a show work that has no ads, which is traditionally been the only model for media ever. Ever! I mean yeah there's been some subscription stuff and there's cable and stuff like that but... For free to air anyone can get it? This is an amazing model and I'm very proud of it And I am very proud of the people who are supporting us We're all part of something completely new and I'm digging that Yeah, I think so too. And it's totally open source we let people do their own thing We don't you know license our brand if you want to go start a website and do something We just hope that you know don't defame us

1:56:26 You can go do whatever you want. You can sell stuff, you know sell t-shirts Randy's doing that and there's...you can start your own forums. You can do anything you want and we don't have trademarks that we force down people's throats or not picky about it. We leave it totally open source and if you, and it's value for value. If you want us to keep doing the show then you help us when we need help! And sustain as well as we need sustenance. Wow Jarv, did just a simple... Did you just say value for value? I said value for value. Atlas Road by Ayn Rand. It was set up. Of course it was You know that Lloyd Blankfein, we have people on the inside at Goldman Sachs

1:57:13 Lloyd Blankfein, the fearless leader who was doing God's work. He wanted to give every Goldman Sachs employee a copy of Atlas Shrugged but he decided against it because he felt that the publicity would be bad. It is a playbook! The only thing they know is there is no John Galt That's the only thing that that's wrong with the whole book is there. There's no like magic John Galt guy Yeah, so I have a why I got a bunch of clips left over But I have one couple good ones you've got some I got one fun one That's kind of interesting remember the guy who wrote the book Shop class is soul class or something like that he's talking about how about shop class being gone

CHAPTER 32 / 38 Discussion

Contemporary Management, The Creepy Therapist Model

A discussion on the evolution of corporate management describes the shift from straightforward authority to a "creepy" therapist or life-coach model. This "smarmy" approach uses egalitarian language to manipulate employees rather than issuing direct orders. The segment references the book "Shop Class as Soulcraft" and the loss of traditional vocational education.

management· shop class· sociology· authority· life coach

1:58:00 yeah being gone and how this is everything is changed in the you can't get a good education are normal things we had this one candidate would i be Call it creepy management comment. I think we should all listen to and pay attention to it's a little long, but it's actually quite pertinent Okay here We go has it been picked up by business organizations or personnel directors about the book for managers to give to their? Nothing Any business schools using it? I've heard from a couple of professors who seem interested in assigning it to their classes. What do you think about that, is it a how-to manual? No its not a how to manual Is it a management tool

1:58:50 It's deeply critical of the very idea of management, actually. As a kind of science and manipulation which has taken uncanny forms in recent decades. Such as? Well, now the manager appears not so much as a boss, straightforward boss but as kind of therapist or life coach there's a kind of smarmy quality to to a lot of contemporary management. I know this mostly from reading sociological literature on management, and haven't been subjected to that in recent years but the picture that emerges is

1:59:46 It's like a authority can't present itself straightforwardly as Authority coming down from the superior. It has to present itself that sort of friendly Volunteerism very egalitarian, which just I think makes it all the more kind of creepy Yeah Let's all hold hands and tell each other a secret exactly You know this is a good point for me to mention a book which we'll list at noagendabookclub.com It's a free book, you can download the PDF it's called The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thompson Iserbyte I think is pronounced to Barnes & Noble number one bestseller but now being given away for free in PDF at deliberatedummingdown.com

CHAPTER 33 / 38 Discussion

Deliberate Dumbing Down, Vegan Diet Propaganda

The book "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by Charlotte Iserbyte is recommended for its critique of the U.S. education system. A listener's anecdote describes an environmental science class where a documentary featuring Al Gore promoted a zero-animal-protein vegan diet. This is presented as an example of ideological indoctrination within higher education.

charlotte iserbyte· veganism· al gore· education· engineering

2:00:37 And it's fantastic! It is- she totally deconstructs how our schools are deliberately making our children stupid. And even we, we even got Randy S., listener of No Agenda since episode one wanting to donate to the show for quite some time. Haven't had the means I'm a college student in Southern California heading towards the path of an engineering major anyway today my environmental science biology class the professor put on a documentary from 2008 called A Delicate Balance which i have not seen yet But there is a link in the show notes. Quite informative explaining how the Western diet, specifically present-day United States has a population with an alarming rate of cancer obesity and heart disease among other hazardous health problems and defects While it's no surprise these statistics or facts are mostly true what got me is when they started to promote a vegan only diet saying it was the only way to live a healthy lifestyle

2:01:38 And the amount of animal protein we should have in our diet should be zero! Of course Al Gore shows up in the film. Yeah, hell yeah. He's just always the same cast of characters that are just a bunch of evil pricks. Yay I might just use that as our opening. That was pretty good. No don't use it as your opening or you'll turn somebody off from listening to this show. Okay A couple quick tips for the hat Gitmo Nation Deutschland, very angry at Google Street View. You know these Google Street View cars that drive around taking pictures of your street? Well they're not just doing that John! They are also scanning all Mac addresses of Wi-Fi

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

Google Street View, Wi-Fi MAC Address Scanning

Google Street View cars in Germany were caught scanning and recording the MAC addresses of private Wi-Fi networks. While Google claimed it was an experimental program, the incident sparked significant privacy concerns and anger in "Gitmo Nation Deutschland." The segment links this to a broader trend of eroding digital privacy and increasing internet regulation.

google street view· germany· mac addresses· privacy· wi-fi

2:02:27 Yeah, this is actually not a new story. I didn't know about it! I hadn't heard of that and the Germans apparently are pretty... yeah they're upset about it. Yeah, I don't know if they do that here or not but... I'm sure they do! Well Google says it was an experimental program in Germany so I don't know for sure. You know there's been a lot of experimental programs in Germany you got to watch out for those yep And then I had another thing here, the bullying meme continues. Oh yeah we gotta get back on that! Yeah maybe we should do that... There's The Wall Street Journal actually and i'll put the link in the show notes under bullying But there was some bullying thing I saw the other day on television. I didn't clip it, but i should have and now everything's becoming bullying Well what you're reading a lot of is politicians saying well its not just us its not just celebrities Now its the normal person Its the little guy who's getting bullied We have to stop this evil internet thing It's really bad

2:03:27 Yeah, really bad actually there was something else that I didn't put for today's show we have to get to it next time which is There was some other kind of like this sort of you know This kind of lack of privacy the bullying also stuff in the internet needs more Regulation or needs to be shut down or you know they're going after the Internet Oh yeah big-time and they're coming for me right now with a black helicopter as you can tell Something that just I really tried to strip out the audio but it just doesn't work. Certainly not at the low bit rates we are forced to because of the great internet we have. Der Spiegel in Germany got a secret leaked tape from the Copenhagen climate summit

CHAPTER 35 / 38 Discussion

Copenhagen Climate Summit, Leaked Transcript

A leaked transcript from the Copenhagen climate summit reveals private frustrations among world leaders, including Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, and Nicolas Sarkozy. The documents show the leaders "carping" at each other, specifically targeting the Chinese delegation for their lack of cooperation. The private reality of the meeting is contrasted with the polished public grandstanding.

copenhagen· climate summit· barack obama· angela merkel· nicolas sarkozy

2:04:12 Remember they had that little powwow and they were all sitting down, and right they were hammering it out So that was recorded somebody had a recorder in their pocket. Yeah And it's really difficult to hear and it only really works if you have subtitles that go along with it Which is we have a transcript? We can show people yeah I put the transcript in the and give us a summary yeah, I can EU observe observer commas It's actually pretty good. I've been I've been looking at that a lot President Obama tried to moderate the discussion also expressed his frustration that the Chinese premier preferred to stay in his hotel room to send this chief negotiator. The Chinese Premier? Premier Barack Obama says quote I know there's a Chinese premier here one who takes important decisions then Mr. Yafai, the representative said I do not speak for myself here I speak for China! I heard president Sarkozy talk about hypocrisy I would avoid such terms! Avoid them?!

2:05:11 Don't run away from that! Lack of trust here. I mean, it's just you got to read the whole thing It doesn't work out of context is not like the statements by themselves are all that great But what? What why can you give me a rationale why we'd want to read it What was done in there was just a meeting of a bunch of guys carping at each other Yeah Basically, the setup is Angela Merkel was really pushing for the next climate conference. It's just kind of interesting to hear how it really went down for all the grandstanding that we saw on the public stage Really came down to this one meeting where they're all like bitching at each other and basically it's like screw The Chinese is what the message is. The Chinese didn't want to cooperate That's kind of what the message is here But why should they? Yeah exactly Screw them

CHAPTER 36 / 38 Discussion

Cuba Flooding, Global Warming Predictions

The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascal, reportedly stated at a Green Business Expo that global warming would eliminate the "problem" of Cuba by flooding the island within 50 years. The hosts criticize the lack of scientific background among prominent "warmists," noting that many are political scientists or economists rather than climate researchers.

cuba· mexico· global warming· carlos pascal· sea levels

2:06:08 This is from CNN Español. The US ambassador to Mexico had a very interesting quote, Mr Pascal born in Havana in 1959 was introduced as an expert in climate change and renewable energy at the Green Business Expo held in private university in Mexico City In his talk he referred to the effect of global warming and rising sea levels And he says, you know what? We don't have to worry in the United States about Cuba. The environment will eliminate the problem for us! It will be flooded it will not exist in 50 years What?! He says and by the way holds a Bachelor of Arts from Stanford University

2:07:04 He says... In what? Bull crap?! Political science. Same thing! He says, no global warming is... Cuba within 50 years will disappear from the face of the earth it will drown This is the US ambassador to Mexico You know, I get the biggest kick out of all the global warmists going on and on about there are these huge people that are against global warming or denialist. They have no scientific background! And then you look at the people that are the warmists and you got this guy political scientist Al Gore politician in that creepy guy in the UN's IPCC who is an economist where's the scientists on the other side? Yeah No there's none That is a funny line He probably gonna regret saying it

CHAPTER 37 / 38 Discussion

Swine Flu Vaccine, Seasonal Shot Integration

Reports from Australia indicate that the swine flu vaccine will be integrated into the standard seasonal flu shot for the upcoming season. A female service member's account describes a doctor's insistence on the shot despite the season being over. The hosts argue this is a "shut up slave" tactic to ensure high vaccination rates regardless of individual consent.

swine flu· gardasil· australia· vaccines· military

2:07:52 It's getting no play. You're not going to hear that anywhere. A lot of links in the show notes for GetMonation Down Under about the ongoing swine flu disaster, it's hurting young children And we also received a couple of notes from servicemen and women there who are now explicitly being told that the swine flu vaccine will be mixed in with the regular seasonal vaccine for the next round. So now they're just gonna hide it? Well, yeah because they gotta get rid of this stuff or there's something in it that need to poison us with

2:08:28 This woman, she's in the service in Australia I believe right? She went to her doctor and the doctor wanted to give her a shot for cervical cancer. Gardasil yeah. And she said no and he says well I don't know why not. She also said no because John Adams said so Well you have a good argument about it Anyway, so then she asked if she wanted to get a swine flu shot even though the season's long over and it's already gone but she said no. And then the doctor got irked and said well no matter what you think it's going to be in the seasonal shot anyway So I was thinking to myself why are they making her want to have a shot because she is going to get a seasonal shot? She's gonna have two doses

2:09:14 I think it's just a more like, shut up slave type of thing. Like who gives a crap what you think? Slave! Shut up! You're gonna get it anyway. Bend over and take it! Take it, take it, take it! That's what I think it is. Could be All right, are you done? I think so. Okay There's a number of things we need to talk about we'll get to them in the next show We want to thank everybody who donated for our special event Which was yesterday the two nickels on the dime day happens every 100 years And so we're only gonna have a long list like that every 100 year So don't worry about it at the vorac org slash na to help us for next week show and we're gonna go Have a beer

2:09:53 Yeah, are we? I wish. Now uh...I'd like to echo John's sentiment there really appreciate the support that was great um it was-it just felt loved i really did and as you can tell we do the work value for value were really putting our hearts and soul into this man would love to quit everything else im doing We keep this up if only could be double nickel on a dime day every single day We'd be there. Yeah, we would be doing five shows a week Would you mind? I like it! You know...I like you enough to do that. Oh, I think we get on each other's nerves That is the whole point It is real problem We are going play the Reverend Manning nine minute clip after this so can be amazed about your president Until then...

CHAPTER 38 / 38 Discussion

James David Manning, Obama CIA Operative Transcript

Reverend James David Manning presents a detailed transcript alleging that Barack Obama was a CIA operative recruited in 1980. Manning claims Obama's time in Pakistan and at Columbia University was a cover for intelligence work involving the Taliban. The segment details the lack of witnesses to Obama's college years and suggests his political rise was facilitated by the intelligence community.

2:10:39 I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley saying thanks for everything, I'm John C. Dvorak We will talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service we'll be at once again watch and see span so you don't have to right here on NO Agenda I am James David Manning, senior pastor of the Otlow World Missionary Church in Harlem New York. I'm also the originator of the Columbia Obama trial scheduled for May 14th 2010

2:11:21 Due to the growing threatening circumstances surrounding this trial, I must now release the full transcript we wish to present and document and prove at the Columbia Obama Trial later this year. Obama was recruited in 1980 by the CIA while a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles California The CIA needed Muslims who were fluent in Farsi and other Islamic customs and understandings. Obama was perfect as an undercover agent

2:12:01 The CIA then later enlisted Columbia University to extend its foreign student program to Barack Hussein Obama that he might enroll in the universities around Karachi and in Pakistan, and also the Patrice Lumumba School in Moscow. With a perfect cover and the U.S student identity, Obama became the lead agent in the arms and money supply to the struggling Taliban army against the Soviet war machine. Obama's cover was flawless and his skills as an agent incredible he was more than integral to the Taliban victory later on that decade

2:12:52 Now, I will be presenting documentation to all that I say here in this announcement. But it is public knowledge that Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981. We don't know how often he traveled between Pakistan and Russia or his return to America and back to Pakistan, and back to Columbia University off and on during his undercover operation in Afghanistan training. And being a money supply and source and interpreter for the CIA uh... to the Taliban during those war years The State Department of the State Department Records have been scrubbed

2:13:37 The State Department records, pardon me have been scrubbed and the state department employee who scrub these records was killed to cover up the passport office break in April of 2008. His name was Lieutenant Quarrel Harris a young African American who was found shot dead in front of the Judah House of Praise Baptist Church in Northeast Washington DC Obama learned his Islamic language skills while he spent six years in Indonesia with his stepfather and mother Lola Shatoro. When he returned from his CIA assignment in the mid-80s, he pressured the State Department to allow him to enter Harvard Law School

2:14:28 He excelled at Harvard, became the editor of The Law Review where upon his graduation could have become a Supreme Court justice clerk or a multi-million dollar salary would have been offered to him at America's best law firm. Except for one thing... He did not have a legitimate background as a citizen or a student from Occidental or Columbia University. A diligent investigation by a personnel agency of a major law firm before hiring Obama would have revealed that he was not a U.S. citizen, and how could a C student go from Occidental College to America's fifth most difficult school to enter into Columbia University? And then from there three years later enter into the world's most difficult law school?

2:15:28 Harvard Law School. And so what must a former CIA operative do when he cannot pass the personnel test? Obama becomes a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago where no background check was needed His marriage to Michelle Robinson, a lawyer and connected Chicago politician albeit a convenient marriage now gives him citizenship and the beginning of a solid background.

2:16:08 He takes a job at the same law firm where Michelle Robinson becomes his trainer and supervisor, a law firm that is heavily influenced by small time criminal named Tony Resco. Michelle Robinson again controls the personnel records. His hiring takes place without a hitch when questions were raised during the 2008 campaign for presidency about his Columbia years. He spun those questions and the media by declaring himself to be an ascetic, a monk even a hermit going days on end without speaking or interacting with anyone and he did not live on campus with the regular Columbia college students

2:17:00 Today, Obama is a man who loves the limelight and can hardly tear himself away from any camera that he passes by. Wants us to now believe that he was once a monk or hermit with no interaction with anyone." Michael Wolfe, former MTA chairman and graduate of Columbia says and I quote he remembers Obama as a very very smart student and a great debater while he was at Columbia. And he was very active in student activities now it appears that Michael Wolfe remembers things about Obama that Obama does not remember about himself

2:17:45 Fox News, during the 2008 campaign and questions were raised about Obama's Columbia years interviewed more than 400 people on campus during the years of 1980 to 1984. Students, nurses, librarians, custodians people within the environment shopkeepers alike. And they discovered in their investigation of the 400 people they questioned not one of the 400 people remembers Barack Hussein Obama during his alleged Columbia years

2:18:25 The Reagan-Bush administration and the Bush 43 administration, they all know this about Obama as a CIA operative and his help to win the war there for the Taliban in Afghanistan during the Russian invasion. They just did not expect Obama to win the Iowa caucus When he won that, there was no way they could assassinate him. Remove him from the scene. They had to allow him to march over the Clintons and over John McCain that he might be the president for whatever information he now holds or interaction he holds with the Soviet Union and over the American people as a threat

2:19:15 We as a government and as a people are being held hostage by this former CIA operative, Barack Hussein Obama who has heavy, heavy Muslim beliefs Marxist politics and has an intense hatred for this nation called America. Now at the trial on 14th of May I will document all of these statements that are not general public knowledge that I have stated today when the trial is finally enjoined. But as stated previously, I must because of growing threatening circumstances present my case to the American people now."

2:20:04 I'm James David Manning, senior pastor of the Otlow World Missionary Church in Harlem and also the host of The Manning Report.
