About this episode

A taxi driver's lethal shooting spree in Cumbria, England, serves as the catalyst for a deeper investigation into a suspected child abuse ring involving local clergy and medical professionals. The tragedy, which mirrors the 1996 Dunblane massacre, is analyzed as a potential distraction from emerging criminal charges against high-ranking regional figures. Meanwhile, British Airways faces intense scrutiny after an internal magazine published a mock iPhone boarding pass for Osama Bin Laden, sparking fears that the October 26 flight date contains a coded warning.

Political tensions mount as Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggests government policy should align with biblical scripture, while allegations from The Washington Insider link President Barack Obama to a Chicago gay bathhouse. In the corporate sector, Goldman Sachs is accused of insider trading after offloading forty percent of its BP stock just before the Deepwater Horizon explosion. This financial maneuver, involving shared leadership between Peter Sutherland and both firms, coincides with a global World Health Organization strategy to regulate alcohol consumption through a new treaty in Geneva.

Cultural oddities round out the report, from foxes stealing hundreds of shoes in Germany to the surreal satellite delay during Lady Gaga’s interview with Larry King. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak formalize the knighting of Andrew McKinnon, who contributed three thousand dollars to the production. The broadcast concludes with a critique of BBC propaganda techniques, specifically the use of somber music and dusty visuals to manipulate sentiment regarding starving children in Kabul and sex tourism in Brazil.

Cumbria Taxi Driver Rampage and Child Abuse Ring Allegations

A taxi driver in Cumbria, England, killed 12 people and wounded 15 others in a shooting rampage before committing suicide. The event is compared to the 1996 Dunblane massacre, but a deeper investigation reveals a series of recent child pornography and sex abuse charges involving local figures, including a vicar and a doctor. The shooting is characterized as a potential distraction or "MK Ultra" style event meant to obscure a larger child abuse ring in the county.

cumbria· taxi driver· dunblane· child abuse· gun control

02:47 Let me just find the links here. So there's this taxi driver who goes nuts in Cumbria. Right, of all places! Well... so I start looking at this, let me just bring up the story here. Maniac kills 12 in gun rampage. goes crazy, kills 12 people wounds another 14-15 and this all happens in Cumbria. And of course the towns are all on lockdown immediately there's talk about no guns how is this possible we can't even have a gun? We have to stop all this... Here's the thing that grabbed my attention In every single story

03:37 It makes a reference to the Dunblane shootings. And, uh... The Dunblane shootings were somewhat north of Cumbria and this was when the guy went in and killed a whole buncha kids Remember that? Dunblaine No I do not remember that We've actually talked about it on this show a couple times Dun Blane was We related this to retarded girl who has been abused and who came out you remember that whole story vaguely, okay? So and I actually had a lot of information on that program Which is maybe it was you know six seven eight months ago. No not even that long go probably Doesn't have to be that long for you to not to remember apparently

04:23 Like you can't remember I caught someone the other day when i said ask you a question so I never heard of it and then we talked about two weeks earlier. Right, I didn't say I have... Hot calling the kettle black? I didn't say I didn't have old man syndrome So um..so I see all these references to Dumb Blaine now the way they're playing is You know, this is the largest amount of people killed by a lone gunman since Dunblane. And Dunblane... The way we deconstructed the story was the guy actually had to kill a number these kids because they were being abused and that the story was starting to get out so on a fluke I google Cumberland or Cumbria child abuse Oh my god!

05:13 So what do we get? And this is all from the past three days, mind you. Here's a report from Tuesday... Oh wait that's not the right report here it is This is from Wednesday May 26th West Cumbrian vicar charged with 12 counts of making indecent pictures of children has been sent to Crown Court Next article This is from the 30th of may Internationally acclaimed organist found dead just days after facing sex child, a child sex charges. And we go on... This is from... This was a good lucky shot on your part Yeah it is Wednesday 31st of March Cumbrian man child sex and porn sentence delayed and here's another one doctor

06:12 This is actually from February. Neighbors of the high-flying Cumbrian doctor have been left in shock after he admitted downloading hundreds of child porn images and then here's the best one, I'm just loading these up here Ex-Cumbria University boss spared prison for huge porn haul and this is from Friday 28th May So two things possible And of course we'll never know because the gunman then turned the gun on himself. It seems like there was a child, at least at the very least a child pornography ring going on in Cumbria At the worst perhaps child sex abuse All these guys are being brought to justice they're all saying okay I did it okay i downloaded porn Okay I'm a doctor I got porn

07:03 We're all into kiddie porn out here, and then all of a sudden we get this taxi driver for no apparent reason goes on a rampage and starts killing people. And the people he started killing don't look too fresh either if you catch my drift. So... There's more to this story than meets the eye and obviously we're never gonna find out any of it. We may not but uh it is- No, we won't Yeah well it is rather coincidental or- Coincidence? I think NOT! that all of this, that this takes place just days after all these guys come out and start to... there's always information about child pornography going on in the exact same area. Now granted Cumbria is a little bit bigger than you know it's not just one town so this is a whole district

07:50 County yeah, California County would be right so To me it was like a definite don't look over here nothing to see here Please take a look at the guy unless I got involved and he was just shooting his buddies or who knows? I mean these random shooting self and aren't random MK ultra people mind control that you flip the switch of course go kill him. Go do something weird We need a distraction Well, that's a real curious way to start this show even though I think maybe we should go and give our shout out to our producers. We have some? Oh yeah! Okay hit me so well i gotta open this all right meanwhile let me rummage through the mail and see if i can find my invitation to the Bilderberg conference John which is starting tomorrow Yeah The big Bilderberg conference in Espanola

11:00 uh... dear john and adam i've been hooked on the no agenda show for a long time in doing the guilt trips long enough i have to admit our good deal of gratitude to both you for helping me shape me in ways that are really been working out After a month of looking at the clock and seeing 333 every day I know this happens.

The 747 is indeed there It's just comfortable and it's just great. It's better than those plastic air buses

British Airways Osama Bin Laden Boarding Pass Incident

An internal British Airways staff magazine, LHR News, published a photo of a paperless iPhone boarding pass issued to "Bin Laden/Osama" for a flight on October 26, 2010. The seat assignment was 7C in first class, sparking controversy and speculation about the intent behind the "joke." The hosts suggest the specific date might serve as a coded message or a warning of future events.

Nancy Pelosi and The Word Public Policy Comments

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi discussed the intersection of faith and governance in a clip sourced from C-SPAN. Pelosi emphasized that public policy should be "in keeping with the values of The Word," referencing the biblical Gospel. The hosts express concern over the implications of a high-ranking official suggesting that religious doctrine should dictate government policy.

Bill Maher Racial Jokes and BP Oil Spill Commentary

Comedian Bill Maher faced scrutiny for a monologue on his show regarding President Obama's response to the BP oil spill. Maher joked about wanting a "real black president" who would intimidate BP CEOs with a gun, leaning into racial stereotypes. The hosts discuss the double standard of Maher being allowed to make such jokes while conservative figures like Glenn Beck would face immediate backlash for similar content.

bill maher· barack obama· bp oil spill· kate gosselin· racial stereotypes

25:59 right top kill and junk shot and plug blowhole this is the latest thing they're trying we have our fingers crossed right there you know their method is they're shooting tons of mud and cement to try to seal the hole shut. And if it works, they are going to try on Kate Gosselin. Good line! Funny But here it comes. So the president finally arrived on the Gulf Coast today to survey the damage, I thought this was telling while he was there FEMA arrived for Katrina. Tell us where we are? Actually these are pretty good. Yeah he's got writers, he has a staff of writers so he must be somewhat funny. Here it comes this is one that really caught everyone's attention

26:50 And George Bush saw him on TV, called him up and said you're doing a heck of job Brownie. He's not bright I think. People have been waiting for Obama to do something you know he's...I love him but he says he is little professorial You know? He doesn't have that Clinton gene for you know the empathy kind of thing. He saw somebody who said I've been briefed on your pain You know I thought when we elected a black president. We were gonna get up like president I you know this is where I want to real black president I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs You know where he lifts up his shirt, so they can see the gun in this problem

27:41 There you go. Like all black people, Bill. Like all black people have guns and uh... Guns and a big dick Yeah that's fine. No problem Yeah, I can just imagine if Beck... Glenn Beckett used that gag. And he's a comic by the way. You have to always remember that Glenn Beckett is a comedian! Yep. I'm kind of glad actually that Bill Maher is doing this because it opens up people to talk honestly and then we should all be able to do it yeah right yeah we should yeah we should I think we should. You want to make just insulting stereotype jokes? Well, Bill Marken'd do it! He must have some ageist material in there as usual. No, no, I didn't watch the show. I only got the clip. So um... But it was just like you know and you told me he was gay but yeah you know that in 2004 he got a palimony suit?! I never said he was gay! What do you mean!? We had a huge discussion about this!! You said blahhhhhh you don't know his gay because he's making all these gay jokes!!! It's like why is it okay for him to make gay jokes and you say cuz he's gay

Barack Obama Gay Bathhouse and Smear Campaign Allegations

A report from The Washington Insider alleges that President Obama and Rahm Emanuel were members of a gay bathhouse in Chicago. The claims include rumors of a "Down Low Club" at Obama's former church and suggest a sexual relationship between the President and his personal aide, Reggie Love. The hosts identify these reports as part of a coordinated smear campaign intended to weaken the administration.

barack obama· rahm emanuel· reggie love· washington insider· gay bathhouse

28:46 Huh? Yeah, I think you were talking to somebody else. That was the other show i do It was the other Devorak With Horowitz The show i do with him Speaking of which... The Obama gayness meme has been reignited Yeah that's a good one Seriously Which are two Obamas is it the one we see with the gray hair or without the gray hair But it's really weird. I remember there was like a couple years ago Yeah, there was some guy that Larry Sinclair but now guys of maniac but now here it is It's very and this is very interesting from The Washington Insider President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bathhouse in uptown Chicago according to informed sources in Chicago's gay community

29:38 The bathhouse, man's country caters to old white men and has been in business for some 30 years known as one of uptown Chicago's grand old bathhouses. And this article just go I mean but there's a lot of people copying this and they're relating this back to the Blagojevich trial that apparently, I love this. This is maybe one of those things Blagojevich is holding onto you know? Well this is exactly it but apparently in these tapes that I guess we're not going to get to hear the whole thing is that Obama was actually trying to get his Senate seat for one of his gay lovers just the plot thickens It just gets better and better

30:21 And then there's a lot of stuff about Rom that he only travels with the male companion and they go on vacation together, kind of like an Oprah Gale type thing. Well we're...with the story about Rom walking up to that guy in the locker room or something at some gym I guess? Yeah oh yeah! and sources, this is all just hearsay of course. Oh it's all bogus but it's worth listening to. It's funny yeah sources in Chicago report that Jeremiah Wright the pastor of Obama's former church of 20 years the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago South Side ran what was essentially a matchmaking service for gay married black professional members of the church called The Down Low Club I mean they even got the names DLC

31:09 The down low club which of course is also Democratic Leadership Council. So but if this were true Obama's the deal DLC means that you what you said if you played it back would be the download Club Yes, I know well That's the right dumb. That's the comparison being made in this article which has been copied everywhere hmm the down-low club well You know it's possible and his Reggie love Former Duke... Keep going, I'm telling you the evidence is amazing. Reggie Love former Duke basketball and football player and unsuccessful NBA hopeful currently serves as Obama's personal trainer and White House quote special assistant he has been called Obama's body man received a salary of $104,000 dollars a year and is reportedly one of Obama's regular gay sex partners. Where are you getting this? From The Washington Insider

32:09 WMR Chicago sources believe the Secret Service records of presidential candidate Obama's activities in Chicago, this is a great paragraph. Would show that Obama regularly arrived at Loves Chicago residence at 9am and departed at 915 am. Sources said while 15 minutes is much too short for personal training exercise it is ample time for fellatio! And then it's like you know wrong, you know I think that we're witnessing and let's talk about this because I think there's a lot of things to tie in together with this with this by the way the The chat room rom and axelrod known as ramrod the team

32:54 yeah alright go ahead you and you actually gonna say something intelligent about this guy and i think your right there is a smear campaign in the middle of the stop this year's against obama has had this thing going course that we have bill maher doing big dick jokes uh... you know it racist jokes we have and i do have a clip of this uh... john stewart going after all bombers promises are sure we listen to them or how does news missus quasi-related. To shut this down, but first the new blue devils are here. We're gonna give them a He honors the women's and men's NCAA tournament back to find the president

33:59 And the buck stops with me. Unfortunately, I left the buck at the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month celebration! Mr President your interest in basketball has been well documented how often do you get to come out here and play? I understand gotta celebrate heritage months occasionally with your constituents The national championship stuff You're the president but...you made time for Marv Albert By the way, John this article also mentions Obama's favorite place to pick up boys and men was during his famous pickup basketball games. Yeah I know so yeah there is a smear campaign for sure! Yeah and now we end one of the leading proponents of the smear campaign is Fox News

CHAPTER 09 / 33 Discussion

Historical Parallels Between Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama

The current political pressure on President Obama is compared to the challenges faced by Jimmy Carter in 1979, specifically the Gulf oil spill and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Referencing the book "Legacy of Ashes," the hosts discuss how the CIA and intelligence communities have historically undermined presidents, including Richard Nixon. They suggest the current media onslaught regarding the oil spill and personal scandals may be a modern "October Surprise" setup.

jimmy carter· richard nixon· cia· october surprise· legacy of ashes

34:46 uh... fox news is really pounding this uh... there's a view what shepherd smith shown since specifically they are just on his oil spill as if it was the worst thing has ever happened in the in the history of man who has we know what happened in nineteen seventy nine and was worse And, curiously in 1979 if we look at the kind of thing even though it was a little different. It was three years into Jimmy Carter's administration this is one of the things that, I mean Carter was under constant attack. He was the one and alone Democrat he showed up at you know he comes into office after they you know what Nixon situation in a view of the whole city Republican Party was it was a shambles

35:34 and carter gets in for one term and then gets ousted he had two things happen you had first this disgrace the oil spill in the gulf and then you have a big dig the middle eastern situation where they are rainy and said yeah kidnapped a bunch of americans and indian held the embassy hostage right hand carter couldn't get us out either one of those deals a backroom deal was done that reagan's boys managed to do that actually or apparently gave word to the aryans that whatever they did keep those guys you know people whose skies prisoners until and then i get there was the october surprise and uh... this is now happening to obama

36:15 We don't have the second part of this, which will be some sort of a weird thing that'll be something he'll botch because it's a setup. And I'm wondering whether this has anything to do with the war with the CIA? Because I can imagine that they were getting along with Carter Or what? I mean the whole, if you read the Legacy of Ashes, Family Secrets. There's a lot of discussion in that book about you know that when the cia fell out of uh... favor with nixon and to restart good fighting a bit did half of these crazy things that took place during the watergate year we were we're set ups to to screw nixon and it did feel read this book

37:02 which is in the book club by the way, and people should read it. I think it's one of the most interesting books written on this topic for a long time If you read this book, it sounds as though Nixon was pretty much just set up So the only place where that breaks down is that these reports are not released through the CIA mouthpiece The National Enquirer They're released through The Globe Globe magazine is the ones that are and I'd is globe owned by National Enquirer by any chance or is it a true competitor? I don't know because you know whenever something's in National Inquirer. Are you like okay pay attention now Because that's well known but they have other outlets into the National Enquirer, and and I don't remember uh I mean essentially take this right to them You don't have to get Fox News

37:51 delivering the blow here. I mean there's a number of things and now the fact that you've got this gay meme that has returned, and it is old news to say the least with new twists and new little sketchy details which makes it hilarious uh... and but essentially everybody is on obama's case this is worse than katrina he was a doing it and then now you got just or ridiculing him for saying one thing in going off and doing his job which is essentially that the experts for the government to open stuff up cut rid of us it's it's well maybe this is why at the democrats here's the meeting them are madman's in trouble

CHAPTER 10 / 33 Discussion

Al and Tipper Gore Divorce Speculation

The separation of Al and Tipper Gore is discussed as a potential media distraction from larger political issues. The hosts recall Tipper Gore's past leadership of the PMRC and her efforts to censor music in the 1980s. They speculate whether the timing of the divorce was strategically chosen to provide a "relationship story" for the headlines.

al gore· tipper gore· divorce· pmrc· media distraction

38:34 Dump that bitch. Dump, dump Tipper! Come on we need a relationship story on the headlines get rid of her possible it is possible although I think that tipper probably left because she was tired of Al's bullshit well hello Tipper Gore is a maniac I have not forgotten the PMRC where she and all the Washington Housewives were like, this is horrible. The music rap music is killing our children want to commit suicide Ozzy Osbourne as the devil I haven't forgotten that yeah I've forgotten it but she's nut job but what did what's different right now you know shit happens I mean haha I can attest to that oh okay well come on this shit can happen I'm just saying that that is possible there's like

39:23 Now's a good time now dumper. We need a story when you headlines, it's possible. Well. You're getting that that voice is good It says it doesn't sound anything like you which is a positive bad thing? We got like a really weird Skype sound there like someone was scratching your record life all apart Yeah I don't know if it's uh it sounded like your compressor like broke up or something no think so we Okay, anyway so I think there's a we're going to be watching of fantastically entertaining for people out there. You know we got a note from one of our sponsor or producers who said that you know i'm getting depressed listening to your show but I still listen and you guys are doing great job at it So now I am thinking that we should kind of twist this a little bit with the smear campaign that were starting to witness the beginnings

40:17 Look at it as high entertainment. I mean that we're not talking about low lit look This is not this is high entertainment. This could be some of the best Entertainment, we've ever seen better than Jesse James. I mean and Sandra Bullock. This is a beautiful set comparison Yeah yeah exactly but but the question is will entertainment tonight jump on this and Hollywood insider The open week we should do the promos the Obama gay scandal you see a homosexual does he like smoking cocaine? Oh, you would take that to the bank. We need this is extremely homosexual. Is it really true? Take that to the bank on the next Hollywood insider. Hello. All right. So okay, so that's your breaking up John

CHAPTER 11 / 33 Discussion

DUI Scram Devices and Interlock Ignition Revenue

The use of SCRAM ankle bracelets and ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders is characterized as a massive revenue-generating scheme. Using Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles as a backdrop, the hosts detail the high costs associated with these devices, including installation fees and monthly service charges. They estimate the industry generates half a billion dollars annually in California alone.

lindsay lohan· scram device· dui· ignition interlock· california

41:13 You want to get off the topic hold on you're breaking up man. You're really breaking out. Oh, yeah, I can hear me Yeah, I can hear you now. You were like completely gone there for a second. I just had everything here mean and I can hear ya all right Good new topic So we talked about Lindsay Lohan And I love how it actually ties into something lllll so About this scram device this This device that you get hooked up to your ankle instead of you know hey, you broke the law. You drove while intoxicated Your license should be taken away from you And if you do it again, you should be thrown in jail or penalized well So what they do is like? You can't drink anymore so No I certainly found this weird you find it a little bit weird So there's two angles to it The first thing is I got a couple of our producers out there who said well, you know you really don't want to get into

42:11 possible DUIs anymore in the United States because it will cost you thousands of dollars because Here's an example from I'm not going to name him. It said it wound up costing me $7,000 $1,500 in fines and probations then of course two hundred dollars plus for extra insurance policy But here it comes he didn't have the the scram device attached to his ankle, but you got the interlock on this car So before you can drive you have to blow into a tube apparently and it won't start otherwise right the tube thing yeah five hundred and fifty dollars And there's a service charge for each month

42:51 Why is there a service charge? Because it's like internet service. It communicates back to home base I thought the car wouldn't start Yeah, but it communicates the data back to home base No it doesn't This is what he's telling me! You can argue with me all you want Some guy writing in sorry Alright Then $350 to apply for an occupational driver's license so we can drive... This is a money-making scam. Huge! I calculate this... This is like parking in San Francisco and a meter is 25 cents for 2 seconds Exactly, exactly

World Health Organization Global Alcohol Reduction Strategy

The World Health Organization (WHO) approved a global strategy to reduce the "harmful use of alcohol," which 193 member states agreed to in Geneva. The resolution links alcohol consumption to infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, as well as non-communicable diseases. The hosts criticize this as an overreach of "global governance" and question the continued utility of the United Nations.

world health organization· alcohol· global governance· geneva· public health

43:31 And so if you calculate it and you look at the numbers, you're looking like half a billion dollars a year in California alone. It's just like a huge moneymaker! So that's one but where is all of this coming from? Well it's coming from our friends who also bring you the Codex Alimentarius. It is coming from the World Health Organization John And this is an article... Oh, that thing run by that crazy woman who reminds me of Ms. Swan? Yeah the people who brought you swine- the Swine Flu pandemic. Here's the article from NewScientist.com The first global plan to tackle the demon drink has been backed by almost every country in the world! Hold on a second

44:12 What was the usage there? The demon drink. What's the demon drink is it something that what's the demon drink It's alcohol John Barleycorn On May 21st, The World Health Organization's That's just this past two weeks 193 member states agreed to reduce the harmful use of alcohol Now This is where gets beautiful Because I've got the documents here This is absolutely nuts. Okay, see the harmful... I gotta read this to you So this is from the World Health Organization's very own website at who.int so this was agreed to in Geneva

45:03 Every year the harmful use of alcohol kills 2.5 million people including 320,000 young people between 15 and 29 years of age The leading fact risk factor for deaths globally and Harmful use of alcohol was responsible for almost 4% of all deaths in the world now in addition to the resolution A global resolution by the way, so you know these are kind of like if you're a member state you have to agree to it which is what we saw with the swine flu pandemic. In addition to the resolution, a global strategy developed by World Health Organization in close collaboration with member states provides a portfolio of policy options and interventions for implementation at national level with the goal to reduce harmful use of alcohol worldwide

45:48 The resolution endorses the strategy and urges countries to complement and support national responses to public health problems caused by the harmful use of alcohol. And it says here... I like that they keep repeating that term It also associate, is also associated with various infectious diseases like HIV AIDS and tuberculosis as well as road traffic accidents violence and suicides so drinking can give you AIDS apparently Wow! That's news How does it do that, Adam? I don't know. Don't share your bottles! It's like weird... Bullshit that's what it is Thank you for pointing that out Harmful drinking is also a major avoidable risk factor for non-communicable diseases in particular cardiovascular disease cirrhosis of the liver and various cancers It's like crazy man So then they have this whole strategy They've been working on this for two years

46:46 And they're calling for a global governance of alcohol monitoring and reduction of alcohol consumption levels. Global governance! These guys never give up, do they? It's like... this relates to why the French are going nuts about it We thought it was just some weird religious thing but this is the World Health Organization Now they're out there taking your drink away Well, hopefully. This is another reason that... You know I've thought about this because we keep hearing these crazy stories all coming out of the World Health Organization and UN related When I was a kid, when the John Birch Society was in business We always thought them as just a bunch of nut balls

47:37 and then they did but they had this collection of bumper stickers and i wish i'd collected a few of them because they were hilarious but one of the ones that they were harping on in their heart on this allot which was get out of the u n get the u s out of the u and right and it was just a big deal at the end that amongst the right wingers today nobody even brings it up anymore what happened to the idea of just dumping these guys It's a bad organization, it doesn't accomplish anything. What has it ever done? It's good business to be in if you make helmets that are... Army helmets that are blue! I mean there is money to be made but I don't see it. I'm not seeing what benefit... UNICEF is apparently a good organization the only one but why don't we just have that by itself? I am not getting the value of the U.N

48:28 It's a drinking club, John. No this one isn't a drinking club. My answer to everything is the drinking club... Well we know that the UN of course was founded by the Rockefellers who started with real estate investment they put seed money into it Of course it's an evil organization This where all this crap comes from And what happened? So its your generation fault that were still in it How come you didn't follow through? How come you didn't march in Berkeley I thought it was crazy to think that way. I've changed my mind. Really? You thought... Every fifth show we do, there's something about the UN and it's always something creepy! Well Eric DeShill gave me this just before the show. It's a morning edition from the National Treasure

NPR Report on Alcohol Toxicity in Adolescent Brains

An NPR report features research from Dr. Susan Tapert regarding the toxic effects of alcohol on the developing adolescent brain. The study suggests that heavy drinking during the teenage years damages regions responsible for judgment and memory, which do not fully mature until the mid-20s. The hosts mock the report for stating the obvious fact that alcohol causes intoxication and brain impairment.

npr· adolescent brain· alcohol· susan tapert· psychiatry

49:16 With drinking, parents' rules do affect teens choices. So you have to see... if you look at the big picture You see how these initiatives are started It's just like the assault on salt And it just spreads out and goes through the so-called independent media which is not funded by commercial ventures And they just got worse. Yeah, they just propagate this message everywhere and then before you know it It's like everyone's on board with the program Okay I guess we did take our alcohol away brain researchers are from NPR brain Researchers are finding that alcohol is a particularly toxic effect on the brain On the brain cells of adolescents That's because their brain cells are still growing says Susan tapered professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego

50:04 The regions of the brain important for judgment, critical thinking and memory do not fully mature until a person is in their mid-20s. Tapered found that alcohol can damage normal growth." That's kind of the whole point about alcohol you want to like be dumb that's why drink it! That's why its okay It's like if you wanna be dumb for bit? Drink! Everyone knows this isn't news but now they're gonna... Oh yeah guess what hey stop the presses Alcohol will get you intoxicated Teenagers who initiate heavy drinking actually go downhill relative to kids who do not initiate heavy drinking during adolescence. Yeah, duh! No one ever changes to heavy drinking. Yeah. Ugh... Parents who give a no-alcohol message to their teens is good. Well of course you don't want your kid getting drunk but it happens they watch their parents You sit there and get sloshed every single night your kids gonna do the same thing

50:58 And by the way, in all these reports from the World Health Organization it's all about you know... All the measurements of alcohol are on rich countries. We need to take a look at poor countries. It is much worse there! Yeah? Why don't you go visit London? Go visit UK if you want to see effects of alcohol. Yeah I would also like to see well of course Middle East they're gonna show well this may be like promotion of Islam because you know they do not drink a lot there Okay, well that's see this is the kind of depressing news are trying to get away from I Don't know what to tell you man All right. All right all right then let me I'll brighten you up sent you a link To this story we talked about this today on cranky geeks

Electrical Network Frequency Analysis in Forensic Recordings

A new forensic technique called Electrical Network Frequency (ENF) analysis is being used in the UK to verify the authenticity of audio and video recordings. By matching the subtle fluctuations in the power grid recorded in the background of a file against a database of grid activity, investigators can determine the exact time and location of a recording. The hosts dismiss the technology as "pseudo-science" likely to be featured in police procedural dramas like CSI.

electrical network frequency· forensics· power grid· the register· digital recording

51:44 Cranky geeks calm you sent me a link and I didn't know about the story Joe Ingo was on the show today Jersey Joe on the show. Yeah, I figured you know he's a chatterbox Let's see what he does Wow that's great good choice interesting yeah You have to do some experimenting so anyway So if she put this story in but it actually came from the register we had one of the register guys there and So they've dreamed up this bogus, this is the most bogus thing called the electrical network frequency analysis which apparently they're doing in England. And they can take like a fingerprint of the grid, of the power grid. Because it fluctuates so much that you can overlay the fingerprint which shows all the fluctuations on top of anything that's ever been recorded or filmed or anything that has got electronic information on it and you can tell what time and when the recording was made and if its real

52:39 What kind of... I'm not quite understanding this story. Yes, this is the point number one which is that I can't imagine how a jury ever figured out what they were talking about So here we go here let me try to explain it and then as soon as they... This was a jaw-dropper for me because there's no way in hell this idea really works They had some guy that apparently there was tape recording they had to prove was authentic And so, based on the fact that all the electronic gear and it was because of the tape recorder. It would essentially have recorded on the data path very subtle indicators of the change in the grid's power from moment to moment. Oh wait a minute this is like reflection in the wing nut

53:26 Exactly! And this is worse than that because apparently they're selling this and apparently American police departments or governments are going to buy into this bull crap. poisoning the pool with bull crap, the jury pool. Buffaloing them with bullshit as it were and you read this and you go this is not... This is ridiculous in every way! And I was looking for the date if its April 1st okay now it makes sense to me but apparently not So the idea is that they can tell from a recording, they can take the fingerprint of the electric grid at that moment in time and can tell... They apparently have five years worth of data already. I love it! That's great! This is like a... okay this is worse than the wing nut thing

54:22 You wait that's gonna show up in an NCSI you watch absolutely. Oh, are you kidding? We can already write the episode I mean the episode is being written as we speak for next season. I just know Perfect we have to figure out here's two Here's the challenge for anybody at listen well actually don't think any of our listeners Watch as much TV as we do but here's the challenge which show is going to use this bit Is it gonna be one of The Law and Orders is gonna be NCIS is Gonna be see this CSI I mean what does it gonna be We could actually have a pool. Yeah, we give away something That's fantastic yeah

Foxes Stealing Shoes and UK Gun Control

Reports from Germany and the UK indicate a bizarre trend of foxes stealing hundreds of shoes from residential areas. This leads into a discussion about the anti-gun sentiment following the Cumbria shootings. The hosts predict the British government will use the tragedy to seize the 600,000 legally owned shotguns in the country, despite the ongoing issues with local crime and social decay.

foxes· rhineland-palatinate· cumbria· gun control· shotguns

55:01 Interesting article that I received from several people after relating the story of the fox stealing my daughter's pump. So apparently this is not new a Fox famous for stealing hundreds of shoes from homes in the German state of Rhineland Palenate It's on The Prowl once again, huh? so if there's something with foxes and shoes they really dig him and this Fox has been stealing shoes for years and The one in Germany? Yeah. Probably the one in England has too, but nobody knows it! And there's stories from everywhere... Is your daughter called a cop? No. Do you do police reports? But its interesting that I'm getting stories from all over the world that foxes are indeed crazy about shoes and they steal- In broad daylight they walk into houses and steal people's shoes

55:51 What is up with that? It must be something in the Monsanto food they're eating. I don't know. I think it's probably that or the leather they like, I dunno. It's just a chew stick! Well its just to start because you know... The next headline we've said before Fox ate my baby Yeah fox killed the baby You know that story about the guy shooting it up up in Cumberland I was thinking of you were going to mention Cumbria Cumbria sorry He uh there was an interesting couple anti-gun memes in there and a whole bunch of them actually. Oh yeah, they're all over the anti-gun thing but again... But I thought that mentioning they made a point of mentioning there's 600 thousand shotguns and i bet you, I'll bet you, I'd put money on this one that the British government is going to try to get people to get rid of those shotguns because they don't need him anymore cause there's no more fox hunting Meanwhile keep on downloading the porn boys!

BBC Afghanistan Coverage and Media Sentiment Manipulation

The hosts critique two BBC reports from Kabul, Afghanistan, featuring a nine-year-old girl named Nargis who begs for bread to support her family. They mock the "standard" use of somber music and dusty visuals in war zone reporting. The BBC is criticized for filming a starving child for a "miserable story" rather than providing direct aid, labeling the coverage as manipulative propaganda.

56:47 The university executive, give me a break. That's disgusting. Kitty porn. So I've got a couple of things... so if you're talking about England for a second there let's play a couple of clips that I found really interesting You mean Gitmo Nation East? Call it by its proper name Yeah, Gitmo Nation East Wow John your connection is weird My connection is now dead Hello? Yeah, yeah I died too Yeah yours did too Somebody has got a problem I don't know Alright

57:24 Let me see if that's you. I don't know what that is... So, I have two...I find it very screwy reports from the BBC and I'll tell you why after we run them Try BBC Afghan clip one Especially for the street children there After 30 years of conflict Many have lost their fathers to violence family breakdown or drugs And their numbers are growing Please do set reports By the way, every single news report that is about Afghanistan or Iraq always has this type of music. Isn't it ridiculous? And you always see a dusty road with the red sunset. It's like standard! Let's play some of that music because we have to set the mood, set the tune...

58:14 Lady Gaga here 6 a.m.. In Kabul My name is not good They have subtitles and she says she's nine years old and she has to go begging for bread every day. Oh, okay. So they're gonna send out a begging and she's gonna go place after place in this supposedly high rent district even though it's got dirt road and every house looks like a shithole made out of mud And no one will give her any bread and then she explains in a minute that the little boy came earlier and took all the bread

59:00 Keep playing. This is how her day begins, on the streets of this wealthy neighborhood asking for bread At house after house everyone says they have no bread to give So today there's nothing to bring home for breakfast

59:50 This is home. Narges, three sisters and three brothers in one room. They're eating the bread she brought home last night. She's the only one in this family working now In Afghan society, sending her teenage sisters to the streets would bring dishonor. And the little ones are too young so it's down to Nargiz. Yeah you know what I think John? I think we need to go in there with some tanks and shit help those people out they got no bread! Here is the deal as this will be finished in a few seconds...I'm watching this thing going You've got a camera crew and your son- Why don't YOU lady give her some damn bread?!

1:00:41 Is it asking too much for the BBC reporter should cough up a dollar and buy some bread for the starving family that only eats bread once every two days? They apparently don't eat anything else. All right, Very annoying. So what's this Afghan report clip to is that the school and she's just having so much fun finding out these little girls I get to go to school a couple times a Couple hours a day now because you know they get too They're all gonna be professionals when they get older, and I'm still thinking what about the bread? Engineer! Look at this. Five young Afghan girls managing to go to school for, at least part of the day What do they want to be when they grow up? All of them know that we have two doctors, two teachers and Nargiz wants to be an engineer. Well done

1:01:35 What is the point? It's like this whole thing goes on and on. This is one of those BBC reports that says nothing, it just showing a sad situation The BB shows you that the BBC is a bunch of cheap bastards because they won't give the little girl some bread And then they just make these miserable stories. This is not educational. It's not realistic. The whole thing is a scam I don't get the point of it. It's the British Bread Corporation I'm telling you, this is a bread thing. It's just like a Jesse James piece! It's idiotic yeah but this is the BBC... Okay here are some other funny clips on a similar level actually we only take a break and discuss some of our donations since we- okay good idea and then I also have some funny clips. Funny clips are coming up yes funny funny and then we got to talk about piracy and entering ships

Listener Feedback and Liberal Audience Perspectives

The hosts read letters from listeners in Canada, Arkansas, and Germany, including a self-described "unabashed left-winger" who values the show for its rational arguments and documented evidence. The feedback challenges the notion that the show only appeals to a conservative audience. They encourage listeners to share the podcast with friends across the political spectrum to promote critical thinking.

1:02:31 Yeah, we do have to get on that even though that story's nice. I think I might have some angles Okay, all right so besides our very generous By the way Andrew McKinnon showed up at he's our a series producer for the month of June has showed up in the chatroom He missed his initial Donation thank you, so just want to say hey Andrew no well You can you know this shows downloadable does he have like it Does he look like a nice pad?

Note, he says... John you've mentioned on the last few shows that no agenda is not going to change the minds of liberal left-wing type listeners this my new meme which is that you know we want a preach to the choir. He says I call bullshit sir

1:05:50 I believe anyone who shouldn't trust mainstream media, aka everyone needs to listen to your show. I'm an unabashed left winger in Canada that means something actually and i count on your show to help keep my mind open. I might not agree with the opinions you and Adam hold but the two of you offer something that no other outlet does rational arguments backed up by documented evidence Sometimes. I was going to say, at least the evidence we can find... We try. The extensive research we do, oh yeah we do try but I agree that

1:06:26 I think sometimes we come very close, and i know that there's a lot of... We do. We're the best on the air. I mean it is world greatest podcast. Nothing else is more effective he says at changing someone's mind or at least opening them up to other ideas please please please please encourage your listeners to pass this onto their liberal conservative nutball communist conspiracy theorist and fascist friends everyone should listen to this show should listen to this show. Only to get them questioning the things they hear keep up the great work. So all right so well thank you and let me help you here's something you would not want to play for your liberal friend, your left-wing nutjobs. So you know who Rick Warren is John?

CHAPTER 20 / 33 Discussion

Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Legislation and Pastor Martin Sempa

Pastor Martin Sempa, a leader in the Ugandan movement to criminalize homosexuality, is featured in a graphic video lecture. Sempa describes alleged sexual practices in explicit detail to an audience, claiming that homosexuality involves "eating poo-poo." The hosts discuss the influence of American evangelicals like Rick Warren in the region and the extreme nature of the proposed Ugandan laws.

uganda· martin sempa· rick warren· homosexuality· public policy

1:11:29 So we played some Uganda stuff last. Well that and this is why because I wanted to play you something we This is the anti-gay law that they're trying to pass so Scott Lively who was also an evangelical? And Rick Warren have quite a history of involvement in Uganda where they focus a lot of their missionary work and as a result have become influential in the shaping of public policy in Uganda also in Nigeria and Kenya So there's this other pastor, and I've forgotten his name but you're going to hear him speak in a moment. And he is against homosexuals and of course there's a huge push to create a law... What happens if your gay John? Do they just kill ya? Is that what they want to do? One of their goals is to kill you yes. You listen to this clip

1:12:26 I'm already laughing because, I mean...I just couldn't believe what was being said. I could not believe well you'll have to listen for yourself and not safe for work for sure but then again this is what is being taught to people in Uganda Good morning everyone my name is Pastor Dr Martin Sempa I am here as the chairman of the national task force against homosexuality in Uganda We are making legislation to make sure that sodomy and homosexuality never sees the light of legality in this land of the pearl of Africa. By the way, there's a sign... So he is like in his school room or maybe it's his church I don't know There's a whole bunch of people sitting in the audience And there's a sign behind him that says back off Barack Obama which is kind of interesting Yeah they said this on the other one when I had that clip of the other guy

1:13:23 that back off obama uh... sign was there too so this must be something that their i don't know what the point of all because they think he's gay listen and listen to listen taken down to a little research who are not homosexuals doing it right is in the bedroom okay john they were now going to learn what homosexuals do when the privacy of their own bedroom then we're learning from uganda thing they do is go ahead and only king where dating saying i am only king A man's anus is licked like this by the other person. Like ice cream? And then what happens, even poopoo comes out. The other one poopoos out and then they eat the poopoo! They have a sex practice called fisting where they insert their hand into

1:14:13 the other man's hand and it goes all into the anus, all the way. And it is so painful they have to take drugs but they enjoy it! Now if we have any children please step out." And now he's asking children to step out. Now? Yeah... Where did you get this clip? From uh From the ministry of course. This is a video they put out, this is their educational system Rick Warren? No that's not from Rick Warren no no no this is from Rick Warren's buddy Okay Now I'll just play it you gotta hear now the children have to leave because now he's really gonna tell you This is a parental guidance moment That child can be moved out

1:15:00 I can't believe it's 2010. It's unbelievable. And the audience is cracking up! He's showing pictures on a Mac, on a MacBook Pro. And the other man is eating his poo-poo! What?!

CHAPTER 21 / 33 Discussion

Guatemala Sinkhole and Space-Based Weapon Theories

A perfectly circular, 30-story deep sinkhole appeared in Guatemala City following a tropical storm. The hosts debate whether the hole was a natural occurrence or created by a space-based beam weapon or "earthquake machine." They suggest the event could be related to recent oil discoveries in Guatemala and might serve as a warning from "economic hit men" to the local government.

guatemala city· sinkhole· space beam· oil deposits· economic hit man

1:15:38 It's just outrageous. I lived in Uganda for three years, I don't remember much of it but holy crap! If I was funnier tonight i'd have one right there. You didn't you didn't have a good joke there Tell me when you have a law against homosexuality do you say except eating poopoo? Mr John we must ban the eating of poopoo. This is an outrage that people are eating poopoo Well that's a highlight of this week I just had to play it because it's such an outrage. It's a total ridiculous, its ludicrous. My favorite though from the land of space laser beams is the sinkhole in Guatemala. Okay so now let's talk about this sinkhole which I don't get! Yeah I do Well I know what you're gonna say

1:16:40 Okay, some sort of a beam. Well I put in the show notes Yeah, I'm gonna put this I'm gonna give this link to the chat room so they can play the link to me too okay These are the exact same you know on 9-11 Of course these buildings were melted they They use their space based beam weapon to create holes 9-11 stuff is that you use every contradictory scheme. Okay, you bring it up as though that's the one? No... To back up whatever current crackpot notion you have. That's not true I've always been very consistent about the holes in the buildings and I've been very consistent about no no no shut up for a second! I'm very consistent about the hurricane off the coast which of course no one talks about very consistent about all this about the fake video that shows planes with their nose coming out the side of the building completely intact

1:17:39 No, John. No no I've been very consistent about 9-11 Okay let's go back to the holes Now there is two by the way this is not the first time a hole like this appeared and I did some research Not being a slouch By the way whatever you sent me the pictures don't come through Anyway...I have done some research on sinkholes And to find one that is so perfectly round and goes 30 stories down is pretty hard to do. Yeah, because it was created with a beam from space! Well why? Now that's a good question. How about this... Of course it was... I have a theory. Okay Have you tried googling Guatemala and oil? Oh yeah no I was gonna say they had heavy weather

1:18:32 What this is yeah, probably a version of the earthquake machine wouldn't surprise me There's or they apparently did this is just recently within the last six months or so. They found a couple of huge deposits of oil Where you can probably just drill a hole and pull it out I don't know why they would blow a hole in that in the country Economic hit man and say hey look we want to oil well could have been an accident That could be. They were cleaning their harp and it went off But I have to say, I've never seen a hole like that And no one's explained it Oh you know there is underground water It's 30 stories underground Yeah and how come we don't have any video of people going in there? Because apparently they took a whole apartment building with them When I first saw the picture The first thing I thought was still not convinced

1:19:24 That it's not photoshopped. Which is still possible because I haven't seen anyone actually on the ground, have you seen video of it? Have you see a crew on the ground? There was a video clip but I think that they were making a video of this still shot. Why aren't there people like spelunkers going down there And how come only one person... No, I beg to differ on that. That you would not want to be as a pilot of helicopters You're not getting me going down that hole brother It might be poo-poo down there

1:20:01 But that is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. That thing is perfectly round and 30 stories down It looks like it was surgically cut And somebody, apparently a building was on top of it and went down there in the hole somewhere But only... This is not...I'm telling you There's something bogus The whole thing is...the story is just weird It's a screwball story I do know there's oil they're gonna start drilling off side the coast of Guatemala but I'm not understanding why they put this hole in, unless the economic hitmen not to join your side of the argument but I will. Please. Unless the economic hitman went in and the guy said screw you know you guys are nothing anymore! You're nothing! Watch this yeah that's what I always say watch this oh yeah it's much easier by the way if you want to get to the oil quick because I'm sure there's other guys out there who want the oil again here's The Meeting and Zouk

CHAPTER 22 / 33 Discussion

Japanese Prime Minister Resignation and HAARP Speculation

Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned after only eight months in office, citing his failure to move a U.S. military base off Okinawa. The hosts link his departure to potential "economic warfare" and the use of HAARP technology to trigger earthquakes as a form of political intimidation. They discuss how such "crackpot" notions are entering public consciousness through entertainment media.

yukio hatoyama· japan· okinawa· haarp· earthquake machine

1:20:56 They won't give us their oil. Hey, turn on Hartman! Blow a hole in him! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Blow a hole! Ha ha! Take that!" I think the guy... you got the voice but the guy's laugh is inaccurate I'll have to talk to him. I think it's gotta be a little deeper Mean is your left and laugh you're doing for that voice, but if it sounds like the Joker or something some comic book characters The evil evil oil cabal well So can't it be coincidence that after they turn the harp machine onto the Okinawa Islands remember that

1:21:34 Remember the earthquake in Okinawa Islands? Yeah, of course because we have the base there and we said we would leave the base and we're not gonna leave The base and I was like Hey, we're gonna give you an earthquake. This was just near the eye We're gonna do it next time. We're gonna do it right on ya So the Prime Minister of Japan quits me like yeah, I can't fight this earthquake machine Gotta leave this place. I'm out he was only in for eight months. Yeah well You know you could do a lot of damage in Tokyo Yes You know, there is economic warfare going on. There is space warfare going on and what do we get? Sandra Bullock and Jesse Jones. Yeah there's a lot of good stuff they could be talking about! People wouldn't believe this either I mean you know that just didn't go like uh-huh

1:22:26 You know actually I think if you tested the following yet following concept it would work Which was that you roll out a city use those main shows that we discussed access Hollywood insider extra and entertainment The inner to the Entertainment Weekly or whatever interest on tonight entertainment tonight, and I think there's probably two or three more like third-run versions of these shows And you did a thing about an earthquake machine and now it's been confirmed, you bring in a few crackpot guys on there and they yak about it. Even though let's say there is nothing. Just make it up! Make the whole thing up and put into public consciousness from that level not from CNN not from Fox News but from that level It would be commonplace everyone would know there was an earthquake machine

1:23:18 Well, I think a lot of people already do and even the people that do know just like okay. Yes So what there's an earthquake machine? Hey what's for dinner It's like people don't give a crap. There is an element of people don't give a crap, but I don't think they're buying it. I really don't. I mean, I know they're using it and I know they've got it. I know what's going on in the world but you gotta be able to sleep just be aware what's going on. It's like this whole Goldman BP thing so now it turns out that I guess what's going around now is, and there's some evidence to back it up. Goldman Sachs sold a huge part of their portfolio of British Petroleum, of their stock portfolio which i don't think they sold all in one go but they probably sold out over a quarter. They're gonna change those numbers where they've never made a bad sale like last 90 days. I don't think that's gonna work out for them this time

CHAPTER 23 / 33 Discussion

Goldman Sachs and BP Insider Trading Allegations

Goldman Sachs reportedly sold a significant portion of its BP stock holdings—approximately 40% of its portfolio—just before the Deepwater Horizon blowout. The hosts highlight the role of Peter Sutherland, who served as both the ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs and the chairman of BP. They argue this is a clear case of insider trading and suggest the oil company is an extension of the banking elite.

goldman sachs· bp· peter sutherland· insider trading· stock sale

1:24:14 Well, what's interesting of course that you have to know and this is I think there should be some kind of hearing about it because Peter Sutherland who was the ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs. Of course at the same time he was also vice... What was he? Chairman or CEO of a BP. Basically the BP, the oil company it's just another extension of the banks But this guy, ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs. Of course a Bilderberg group member Chairman of the Trilateral Commission It's like it's so obvious that this insider trading if anything Let's say they knew that they were going to pull a job on the transocean deepwater drilling

1:25:04 You know, it's like shouldn't there be some kind of inquiry? I mean that so obvious to sell like 250 million dollars worth of stock and 40% of all the stock you own just before all this bad shit goes down. I don't know that it happened just before Well had to be in the quarter before because otherwise you would see on the previous quarters reporting So is their ownership It happened within three months period I think it happened after the blowout No, it was sold on 331 Do we have any documentation? Yeah, yeah. I got it right here. It's so you're okay. So the final thing that we're going to take the theory of the whole thing was a rigged well. Yeah. I mean I could go it's interesting and there should be an inquiry and inquiry

CHAPTER 24 / 33 Discussion

British Media Reaction to Obama's BP Criticism

The UK media, specifically The Telegraph, has characterized President Obama's criticism of BP as a "war against the UK." British commentators express concern that the "special relationship" between the two nations is in peril due to the demonization of the company. Meanwhile, BP CEO Tony Hayward faced backlash for stating he "would like his life back" while families of the 11 workers killed in the explosion remain in mourning.

the telegraph· bp· barack obama· tony hayward· special relationship

1:25:52 Well, there's these guys geniuses or they're proud. They can prognosticate well You know I think that all hell is gonna break loose in the next couple weeks a cell well The United Kingdom though is looking at this in a different light because and this happens whenever There's some kind of oil catastrophe then the stock goes down and immediately get oh it could be taken over by another company This could happen, but really the Brits are seeing this as a war against British Petroleum. In fact, what is this? This is a link from The Telegraph saying Obama's lack of response is actually waging war against the UK

1:26:34 Interesting. But yeah, right? Yeah by neglect by neglect and demonizing BP and they're talking about this could be the end of our special relationship And you know the survival of BP is now in peril which I don't believe for a second Getty oil company How about playing blasting BP this is Fox? Ganging up on BP and adding first major safety disaster it In fact, a new report indicates the oil company has racked up a staggering number of violations over the last three years. According to statistics from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA BP has faced 760 egregious and willful safety violations those are the words of OSHA

1:27:24 You probably want to know how that compares to violations for say Exxon Mobil during that same period. Well they had 700 something, Exxon Mobil had one, Citgo two Sunoco and ConocoPhillips each had eight. I don't think those companies, I think they pale in comparison to the size of BP by the way Yeah, and they're... I mean that's like very small compared to BP And then not drilling... Sorry what? But they're not drilling where these guys drill These guys are at the high-tech drills but he keeps excoriating continues to excoriate the company is a really interesting

1:28:02 dollars in fine for environmental and safety violations as well as for claims of fraud. Meanwhile, BP's chief executive is apparently trying to- Where did that come from? It was like someone burped! Claims...of fraud. Clean up the public relations mess that he so aptly created He now says that he's sorry for a comment he made on Sunday which angered quite a few people along the Gulf South Remember this? Massive disruption has caused And, you know we're... There's no one who wants this thing over or left back. He'd like his life back and now he's sorry he said that Sorry especially to the families of the 11 men who will never have their lives back The ones who died on that rig

1:28:49 In a statement, Chief Executive Hayward said and I quote. He went on to say It just ends there? Hold on, what's that? I just ended it. It was getting ridiculous! So the guys you know they say well anything about this is terrible and having a horrible time but surely get my life back and then they jump all over me because of the casual remark he wasn't like insulting the 11 people that got killed I just found the whole thing to be abhorrent.

CHAPTER 25 / 33 Discussion

Global Warming Myths and the Oil Money Machine

The hosts question the validity of "global warming" and "peak oil," suggesting these concepts are myths used to maintain high energy prices and control the population. They reflect on the 1970s oil crisis and the failed promises of subsidized alternative energy like wind and solar. The oil industry is described as a simple but incredibly lucrative "money machine" that relies on a psychological frame of mind to keep the public compliant.

global warming· peak oil· opec· petroleum products· alternative energy

1:29:41 bought Ondaio Nalco. I think that is the company that produced the Corexit dispersant, so these guys are on downside and on the upside. We'll sell BP shares and we'll buy in the cleanup company It's all a scam. Of course it is a scam! And you know what? They don't care about you and I, they don't care. Why should they? No because we're going to use just as much oil and more next year...and the next…and meanwhile we'll be talking about global warming. Let me ask you this John hypothesis if it turned out that global warming was not true

1:30:24 And that yeah, of course burning oil creates some pollution. But I think we've done a lot on filtering and It's not good but you know it works would Let's just say you took away all the extraneous stuff right the global warming mainly Would there be still such a push for all these alternative sources or will? We just say okay You know, this is though they... I'm not sure. You know, I've seen the cycle before. This one of those things that really bothers me by the way. I've seen this cycle already because it happened in the 70's when OPEC came along and decided to just stop shipping us gas

1:31:08 And so everybody had to line their cars up for blocks and you know, or maybe spend the night just to get a few gallons of gas. If you had the license plate that would end with an even number, you could go across the bridge on Wednesdays and Friday's. Oh yeah! We had Sunday free cars in Gitmo Nation lowlands. Sundays no car is allowed on the road at all Yeah, it wasn't that bad. But they had these days where you couldn't drive if you had a three or five or whatever and then they you know and he had the there was it was a epidemic of people stealing gasoline from one another in all the everyone had to get a locking gas cap

1:31:48 Oh yeah, I remember that. It was a very funny era and then that was the first time it was like we've got to go wind power all these crappy wind turbines that are over in Tracy and over by Palm Springs. Yeah, Tracy is huge! I've flown over there. Most of them have fallen over... They're not even turning they're still...I was flying then they weren't even moving Yeah, so you have that was from that era and then you had everybody all these solar powered solar energy and people put these glass tubes on their roof. And so they would warm up the water or you didn't have to use a water heater and the math has been done on this forever and none of it really has a payout unless the government subsidizes the crap out of it. And that includes solar panels, you have to literally if you don't get a deal from the government your just throwing your money away, you're never gonna get a payout on it and so this happens over again and then they fluctuate, fluctuates the price, the base price of petroleum products people don't realize that everything... If you look around your house or look at what you are doing right now

1:32:52 Most of it's from petroleum products, every plastic. Where do you think plastic comes from? Plastic comes from oil. I mean everyone has to have paint. How are you painting, where is the paint coming from? I mean everything's like an oil economy that we've decided to do, to follow on. And i don't know why they they do this every so often but they put the screws of the public either jack up prices long-term get us used to something else...I don't know! It is a second time seeing it and still don't know why they're doing it But I'm sorry, I am trying turn around and say let's just presume their doing it and yes I do know why because it just creates masses incredible wealth

1:33:31 But let's just say the... Well it's not like they're not making any money. No, but lets just say the slaves weren't fed the story of global warming peak oil all things that we at best question Let's just say that didn't exist I think would people still be like oh we need electric cars We need to have so..I don't think so! I think we wouldn't care then would we? Well what you are saying is you want a public that is in psychological frame of mind that benefits the oil companies somehow even though they're hated. Yeah, but why are they hated? They're hated because they perceived as destroying the earth. But that may not be true! I'm just saying...I'm questioning and i'm not taking aside, I am just saying that may not be true No it may not be true but maybe its better we feel that way about it Why is there a reason for that

1:34:28 especially if there's no such thing as peak oil and it is a continuous process which is possible. Yeah, the price would drop. Well the price would go down these guys wouldn't be making money hand over fist so do you want to create this myth that everything they do is bad? And so you pay less attention to fact that these companies don't really do anything but their making five billion dollars a quarter in profits and all these CEOs are billionaires, they're not billionaires but they're making hundreds of millions of dollars pretty much you know just it's not a high-tech business. Right now from the sucking oil out to the ground to sending into an oil refinery this stuff is just that hard its not a big deal then we already have distribution channel in place for distributing all this gasoline which is the hard part getting distribution

1:35:21 and once it's all in place, it is just a money machine. It's an unbelievable money machine! It's the business you and I should be in. Hey now your talking! Okay... Well thank-you. You don't have to do as much work. You can sit back and relax thing except for this... We'd have those big 300 million dollar yachts that poop out yachts With two helicopters on deck, two EC-135s. Oh yeah baby! Hookers and Blow... You already have the right name, Dvorakskiy. And I be Kuriskiy. Yeah nice So i got a couple more clips of you unless you have some funny ones Well no well I don't want to get to the end of the show and not having at least discussed the flotilla incident oh right yeah we have to talk about that so let's do it right now

CHAPTER 26 / 33 Discussion

Gaza Flotilla Raid and Turkish Political Shifts

A Turkish-led flotilla attempting to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza resulted in a violent confrontation. The hosts suggest the mission was a deliberate provocation intended to create anti-Israel sentiment. They also discuss Turkey's gradual shift away from a secular state toward an Islamic Sharia government, noting that the EU's human rights requirements are ironically preventing the Turkish military from intervening to preserve secularism.

gaza flotilla· turkey· israel· hamas· european union

1:36:14 Yes, so let's get it out of the way. Okay? So here's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing that Turkey is getting a little bit too cozy with Iran mainly and so this seems to be like a pre-emptive type type of strike I was listening to the BBC It was the The the Turkish Turkish Turkish ship from people on board that I heard on the BBC admit that they set sail to break the blockade, to be provocative. So you know it's like

1:36:56 They set out to be provocative and they got, I guess they got what they were hoping to get. Yeah And the whole thing just reeks of one... you know, I think what's being missed here Were they actually going to deliver some aid or did they just want Israel strike and then create a whole screw-Israel vibe? That's kind of what it feels like. Has any reporter, has anybody done any reporting on this? Well the thing that I came across is that by coincidence which of course we know doesn't exist on the same day Turkey and Iran were shelling Turkish Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq

1:37:43 So it could have been like a... I don't know man, there's just a lot of this Middle East. Well Turkey is very slowly returning to a non-secular state. I mean they're essentially was since Ataturk the days of, out of Turkey. They had very rigid laws and rules about... I mean you would get thrown in a Turkish prison if you were a Muslim fundamentalist let's say. And you'd made some comments about the government or said anything actually even if your just a member of an Islamist organization You could be thrown in jail for then they throw the key away. They did not want any that going on in Turkey because Turkey is like when I was there last time where are the country that drinks? And do they

1:38:27 It's a country where the government is non-religious, it is not connected to Islam or anything. And if you want to be an Islam believer, which is I think 95% of the country or so. You do that but you can't be a radical. No radicals is what it was. So these guys who got voted in this last time kind of snuck in as quasi-radicals and they made it kinda clear that, well you know we're going to turn this back to where it should be which is an Islamic Sharia government and state. And were not going to do it overnight but were gonna do it." And that sent off the alarms with the Turkish army which traditionally when that happens somebody sneaks in like that... The Turkish army just takes over the place and they have a new elections and put somebody else in

1:39:19 But because of this action with the EU, because Turkey wants to be part of the EU. And the EU says well you know we don't like imprisoning people for no good reason for their religious beliefs! We can have that so they're actually encouraging a Islamic state The EU is literally encouraging an Islamic state in Turkey and now they can't...

Middle East Proxy Conflicts and Rahm Emanuel's Israel Visit

Russia is reasserting its influence in the Middle East by selling arms to Syria and building naval docks on the Syrian coast. This is viewed as a counter-move to U.S. dominance, creating a "triple alliance" between Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Amidst these tensions, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel visited Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel, officially for a bar mitzvah but likely for high-level strategic discussions.

syria· russia· rahm emanuel· benjamin netanyahu· gaza strip

1:40:18 arms to Syria, couple of MiG-29s. They're building a naval dock on the Syrian coast and according to... what's the guy's name here? Syrian President Bashar al Assad He said, you know Russia is reasserting itself. The Cold War just a natural reaction to the attempt by America to dominate the world and we've got a new triple alliance Syria Turkey and Iran part of the Northern Alliance that he says Damascus have been trying to construct against Israel in the US with Russia now cast in the role of superpower benefactor so this feels in a way like almost like a U.S.-Russia thing with Turkey

1:41:01 and Israel kind of fighting by proxy. Does that make any sense? Well, I don't know what the proxy is because Israel's going to get involved in one way or another. And Rahm Emanuel by the way just was just in Israel probably saying hey go ahead Who was? Rahm Emanuel Oh he was yeah He was uh...I got a story here White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday That is a week ago For what the White House called on Tuesday an informal discussion of a range of issues in the US-Israel bilateral relationship. I guess his son, it was a bar mitzvah he was going to. So yeah, bar mitzvah. So he was there

1:41:51 It's just the whole thing is sketchy. Well, it's gonna unfold before our very eyes We just have to keep a look at it But we have to assume all these things that happen are staged events To get the attention of the media and you know make Israel look bad hold on second John Oh boy I just lost you oh They've been under embargo ever since the hump us took it over Hold on a second, John. Just rewind it back to... because I lost you for a second for some reason just rewind it back to make Israel look bad? Yeah, you want to make Israel look bad and the media loves doing that and also draw attention to the situation in Gaza Strip which is this little area very small area at the bottom of the country butted up against Egypt which was taken over by Hamas

1:42:47 and who are now rousting all the old, all their political enemies and killing them left and right. So it's like a minor civil war going on within the environment although I'll get to note about that. That's not true! And... and uh... but how much is a terrorist organization straight up no problem defining them as dust and so they've just said screw you're not gonna let me know cuz all of the every time they get a bunch of new with the shipments of stuff to get a bunch of rockets may fire over to israel that shipped i think there should be the bird fired at like it's couple thousand missiles cross-the-border when they can do it and uh... they just don't like the did the initially has tried i don't know the promises in owen situation for israel because it looks like their starving these people to death

CHAPTER 28 / 33 Discussion

Cocaine Contamination and Afghan Poppy Production

Reports of cocaine laced with Levamisole, a veterinary deworming agent that causes flesh-eating skin reactions, have resurfaced. The hosts jokingly suggest this is a government tactic to push users toward heroin, which is sourced from U.S.-controlled poppy fields in Afghanistan. They frame the drug trade as a competition between different government-backed warlords.

cocaine· levamisole· heroin· afghanistan· poppies

1:43:29 So here's the only thing I'd like to say to the people listening to this program. When we say Israel or Turkey, or America or Russia it has nothing to do with Iran... It doesn't have anything with the people The people don't want to get blown up They want to go kill people it is the governments that do this! It's governments and they're all thugs and their gangs And there are families behind them and they're the ones that are jockeying for position We're just all pawns in it The stupid thing is we play along with the game Yeah, but we get a good show out of it. Hell yeah! They do some good show prep for us. Uh... Yeah and it's endless. Endless! It never ends. Cocaine contamination back in the news? Oh yeah! For those of you doing hookers and blow. Flesh-kitting cocaine. That's right. This proves my point that were gonna get more zombies So this is of course cocaine that is laced with uh... Lev... what was it? Levimisol

1:44:36 I don't know what it is. It's the deworming stuff for animals. This was the flesh-eating one, this is a different story I saw No no actually says here the profiles of these people whose cocaine use has resulted in hospitalization when they noticed purplish plaques on their cheeks earlobes legs thighs and buttocks is typical of the toxicity of lavimusol the anti-worm, worming agent used for cattle sheep and pigs so the message is of course very clear you need to get on heroin because that's what we're in the business of. Our pure horse... Let's get rid of these gateway drugs! Really, get straight to the heroin because that's what we're importing That's where the real dough comes from Don't give any money to the Colombian warlords Take it from us Straight from the fields of Afghanistan The US government brings you your poppies Hey everybody

CHAPTER 29 / 33 Discussion

NCTA Cable Show Panel and Media Piracy Discussion

At a major cable industry panel in Las Vegas, CEOs from Time Warner and CBS (Les Moonves) discussed the future of content and technology. The hosts mock the Time Warner CEO for suggesting television was only invented 20 years ago. They also critique Moonves' comments on the DVR, noting that the industry's primary focus remains on "getting paid appropriately" and avoiding the mistakes made by the RIAA.

1:45:36 Don't have don't eat the brown acid just go straight to heroin and I think that's That's about all. Oh my god. No, I got a couple of I got some things that lighten it up since we Wanted not being so depressing constantly right now? I got a couple of clips from there you do cable show was like a week or we can half ago I guess maybe two weeks ago in Vegas Oh, the big... Nat TV? Is that what it is? What's the cable show? Yeah. It's Natty Fatty for something. It was a big cable show everybody was there Les Moonves was there they hit the CEO of Time Warner's there and they were on this big panel about technology and how it's gonna change things And they said some of the dumbest things like what you guys even are you actually in this business playing the game

1:46:24 CEO from Time Warner and see if you can find the very weird kind of timeline error in his commentary which is really brain dead by the way. Okay, so Time Warner who own a lot of media properties also owned the crappy connection we were on this evening...Time Warner cable. ...form of the product whether it goes in this experiential venue or that one But before we, because this is an NCTA panel and the rules of those panels are we've got to go where no person has gone before. Before you get there... Well yeah here it comes! This is gonna be a... It's going on with an idea that you won't believe We're gonna get our money's worth for going to Vegas and listening to these jabronis on a panel Let's go with what is practical and a huge opportunity sitting in front all us

1:47:13 The TV world, whether it's films or networks has been a huge invention in the United States. This group of people sitting in this room did it over the last 20 years It's now gone all across the planet everywhere in the world you see the development of these networks Let's start with networks that create tremendous opportunities for the kind of creative experimentation and the financial support for the kind of risk-taking that it requires to make three Lord Of The Rings for $350 million, to make Avatar for as long as you've made it. To go an embark on a... Oh! You're good for humanity

1:47:55 This guy's like he's drunk. He was going on about how television was invented 20 years ago and it's a really good idea, and it has spread all over the world now! And there are networks and people who are making money off of this television thing. And we're making Lord Of The Rings not one no two but three movies!! I'm thinking, what is this guy... What planet is he from? So there's a bunch of other guys. I figure less moon vets would be less inclined to just talk out of his ass. By the way let's just be honest here

1:48:35 Did his parents like have a little meeting and went like, hey I got an idea. Let's call him Les because Les Moonves has such a nice little ring to it doesn't he? Yeah that is pretty funny so he has what...he has a little mistake in here that i'd like to talk about And he's like what did you do how do you come up with these comments in front of all these people Social networking going on that has changed the world So every time going back From the beginning of the DVR, the DVR was going to be bad for content. It's gonna be bad because less people were gonna watch it Every single piece of technology that has come into being Has been a friend to content The more places it is available The better it is as long we get paid for appropriately So when you look at and obviously For someone who is old as I am It's overwhelming

1:49:31 As long as we get paid for it appropriately. They all say that so he says the DVR now He's talking about the digital video recorder or the VCR or both, or what? All I know is he makes the comment that oh they Once the DVR came out then its sound then no one wants to watch television there never gonna watch anything It was just the opposite I mean the idea of the thing was so you could watch more television more conveniently less commercials well that we did with that without the commercial aspect to it you could time switch at you know on your own it was just now you can watch when you wanted to see what so who I've never heard this up from anybody anybody thinking that this is gonna hurt television and they would hurt them to hear said he would be pirating things maybe but i wasn't going to make people watch less television which is what he said where does he get this

1:50:22 I think this is probably a setup and i wish i had seen the whole panel to the it, It's all about piracy. It is all about them getting paid appropriately. They actually made some good comments about the fact that they learn by watching the RIAA go down the toilet Yeah as what not to do As what not to do and they said that we were they had a huge advantage on the RIAA because they could watch other mistakes And they knew that because of file size, they got all of it. But there was these crazy off-handed comments like this one or the thing about television being 20 years old even cables are older than that. It's just nuts! So anyway... Speaking of which I watched Hurt Locker

CHAPTER 30 / 33 Discussion

The Hurt Locker Academy Award Criticism

The hosts express disappointment that "The Hurt Locker" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, labeling it as "bogus" pro-war propaganda. Having spent time in Iraq, one host argues the film bears no resemblance to the actual lives of soldiers on the ground. They also note that despite the critical acclaim, the movie was a commercial failure and heavily pirated via BitTorrent.

1:51:13 Yeah, and I don't take shit from torrents movies at least. I Don't yeah, I just want to pay for it give it to me in HD.

So we're watching this thing and at the end of the movie We're just sitting there stunned them like

1:51:50 I'm so embarrassed. I am so embarrassed that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts Sciences, whatever the hell they are... That this was the winner Because all it is, is America. Fuck yeah! We're gonna kick your ass!" It's a well-made movie but there's no fucking story And by the way I was in Iraq for 10 days and this has nothing at all to do with what life is like there for soldiers and marines and people on the ground Bogus! Fucking bogus! The soldiers... A lot of people objected to this movie that are over there saying that its bogus

1:52:27 So what, the only thing it could have been was propaganda for the yeah we're gonna kick your ass. We're Americans look at it we don't we're not afraid of bombs you walk out there and take that Take the bomb and pull the guy. I don't need no robots with this pull the ignition out kick your ass And she's like well, you want me to go see it?

CHAPTER 31 / 33 Discussion

Lady Gaga and Larry King Interview Analysis

Lady Gaga's interview with Larry King on CNN is analyzed for its "generational rift" and technical awkwardness. The hosts compare Gaga's persona to a modern-day Madonna and jokingly label her an "Illuminati puppet" designed to hypnotize youth. They mock the significant satellite delay during the broadcast, which made the interaction between the pop star and the veteran host seem surreal.

lady gaga· larry king· cnn· illuminati· madonna

1:53:56 I saw that by the way and she was a little more erudite. Well can i just say something? Fractal, complete fractal! She is speaking and acting exactly the way Madonna did Oh yeah no she's a Madonna It's the same thing like...I read a book before I go to bed every night I'm not going to tell you what that book is And it's..you know this is The House of Gaga The House of Gaga built this You know what? She is an Illuminati puppet Her whole mission in life is to hypnotize the young so the Illuminati can eat them. Alright, what's your clip? That's a possibility... A long shot but it's a possibility So Larry King has got her on and this is beyond a generational rift We're talking about somebody from another planet being on the show Also you agree with my moon bases that Larry King is from one

1:54:52 She's a nun from and so they try to communicate in it that make matters worse because they're so cheap at CNN They got whatever cheap satellite link. They use it's so far away It creates this ridiculous pause is worse than our Skype as moths no comparison Completely off the so you get this ending This is the end of the interview after they've tried to maybe hook up together in terms of like, you know communicating Hey Hey, come over to Washington baby I'll show you my house. Hey Gaga! He's the worst You know at the end of the day Larry i'd much rather not go to the Hollywood party I'd much rather go to the pub around the corner and buy everyone a drink so um well So I just still do And I can buy you a drink when I come see you in New York You got it let's get together soon okay? Yeah

1:55:47 Yes, we will. Let's hang out! The King and the Lady. The King and the Lady? That sounds like a movie. Yeah let's do a movie. Thank you dear. Lady Gaga! Hey, Lady Gaga I gotta... You're stepping all over the clip It is great man come on hey i got a camcorder we can make a movie yeah here lady gaga and the king where's my viagra Well, anyone who actually saw the clip would appreciate how humorous it was.

I don't know You have a delivery?! I'm sorry It's UPS

BBC Brazil Sex Tourism Report and Outro

A BBC report on the rise of sex tourism in Brazil is criticized for following the same "miserable" template as the Afghanistan coverage. The segment features a mother who seems more concerned about her daughter not bringing home money from prostitution than the act itself. The hosts conclude that the BBC produces "idiotic" content that fails to address the reality of the situations they film.

bbc· brazil· sex tourism· unicef· child prostitution

1:56:36 Yeah, I got like some really weird like thunder on the lines like some Thunder and lightning So I got well. I got one more clip Something's going wrong here something's very wrong oh yeah something is breaking up. Yeah, what the fuck is that?

From the phantom supply Yeah the Phantom Supply Alright okay We appear to be out before- I do want you to end You got a great clip to end with seriously like a- It's not a great clip but it is funny clip This is the Brazil sex tourism clip

1:57:49 and it's they do in another BBC thing, they go and they find that apparently they've cracked down on sex tourism which are these creeps that get into these package tours to just whore it up some place or other. And apparently Asians have cracked down on it so Brazil is taking advantage of it now we got all this little hookers that are all over the places kids And so they go in and they discuss the whole thing, it's kind of pathetic. But they're going in and they ask their mom something... I just found that to be unbelievable. Is this like another bread clip?

1:58:28 Is this pretty much... No, this is better than the bread clip. Well this is also BBC Yeah BBC Okay The boom in Brazil's tourism it's estimated to be second to Thailand is blamed on successful crackdowns across Asia Supply is meeting demand according to UNICEF the city slums have produced 250 000 child prostitutes We find Patricia again, sleeping off a night on the streets. She shares this shack with her two brothers sister and her mother It's the same template! Yeah, but this has got a punchline that they didn't pick up on. Okay too bad They didn't have some like Rio music to start off with that would've been probably did at the beginning This is that this is the end of the clip okay? I'll roll it back a little bit here sleeping off her night on the streets She shares their shack with her two brothers sister and a mother I ask her if her daughter's work breaks her heart

1:59:21 If they make money, they don't bring it home she says. No! She doesn't bring any money home It's likely any earnings would have been spent on drugs Okay so he asks her whether she breaks her heart there is no... Breaks my heart? Where is the money?! Really? It breaks my hear that you didn't give me your cash And this guy just rolls by it Well I got a free trip to Brazil Ah what a bunch of idiots at the BBC I'm telling ya Oh well. Does it break your heart? Where's the money?! Hey! No bread!? I've been working all day, where is the money? Is it breaking your heart? Yeah... It wouldn't if I had some money! Ah the world is truly a genius place and I'm sure that we will find more lovely things to speak about including more trains good planes bad the assault on salt oh man there are many more vaccines that will eliminate things like breast cancer on the horizon
