About this episode

South Africa established 56 specialized World Cup courts to enforce corporate interests, leading to the arrest of Paris Hilton and the ejection of fans wearing non-sponsor apparel. This legal hijacking by FIFA and Anheuser-Busch coincides with a replica cocaine trophy seizure in Bogota and the discovery of a sophisticated narco-submarine in the Ecuadorian jungle. The tournament serves as a backdrop for a broader pattern where political turmoil in nations like Spain and the Netherlands appears to correlate with championship success.

MoveOn.org and the Associated Press have scrubbed historical criticisms of General David Petraeus to align with the Obama administration's military strategy. In the United Kingdom, the Daily Mail reports new discrepancies in the 2003 death of weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly, suggesting the official suicide narrative is physically impossible. Meanwhile, the United Nations has formally called for a global currency based on Special Drawing Rights to replace the US dollar, a shift already reflected in Ryanair passenger liability documents. Domestically, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger slashed California state worker pay to the federal minimum wage as the state's fiscal crisis deepens.

Adam Savage of Mythbusters reveals that legal counsel from American Express and Visa suppressed a segment on RFID security vulnerabilities. The White House has launched West Wing Week, a highly produced reality series documenting President Obama's interactions with world leaders and local pastries. Sir Lawrence Froncek joins the No Agenda Roundtable as a newly knighted producer following a significant contribution to the value-for-value model.

Declaration of Independence and King George III Taxation History

A reading of the Declaration of Independence on the eve of July 4th prompts a comparison between colonial grievances and modern political issues such as taxation without representation and war without consent. Historical context is provided regarding King George III, suggesting he was quite young during the American Revolution and that his attempts to lower taxes while increasing collection enforcement contributed to colonial unrest. Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense" is credited with popularizing the namesake phrase.

03:23 I was reading the Declaration of Independence last night, as one does on the eve of the 4th of July. So how are you and Mickey getting along? You know what? She actually wanted me to read it to her as a bedtime story. And she did, and she fell asleep. She puked out? No, she loves it. She said, wow, that was a pretty interesting document. And it's funny because when you read the whole Declaration of Independence, this of course was because the colonists were teed off at King George and they wanted to separate, and they came up with this interesting concept of the Republic.

04:02 When you read through the letter, a lot of it is exactly the situation we're in right now. A lot of it was about taxes, so taxes without representation essentially, going into war without consent of the people. It's like, we could separate ourselves from Washington, D.C. any day now. We're ready to go. We just need a new version of the Declaration of Independence. It's funny. Well, you know the irony of this taxation thing back then? Was that, which confused King George, who I think, if you look him up, I think he wasn't very old. But anyway... He was probably in his mid-twenties or something like that. I think he was like 17 or something. Really? Oh no, I didn't think he was that young. Okay, 17, wow. Or something, you can figure it out. I saw his birthday recently and I said, wait a minute. If we had our War of Independence in 1776, this was a kid. Nobody talks about that, or either that or the birthday was wrong. So anyway, the...

05:04 George was actually making the taxation lower. Wait a minute, I thought the whole thing was we had the Seven Years War, well we didn't, Europe and Prussia and everyone was fighting and Great Britain needed money and that's when he said to the colonies, he said, hey send us your cash. He actually lowered the taxation because he knew everyone was going to get irked about it, but he felt it wasn't being adequately collected. There was some levels of corruption. So he enforced the collection and it turns out they ended up having to pay twice as much. Because they weren't paying any, they were just basically cheating him. Well yeah, but they, yeah, it's the American way. What's your problem? Shut up.

05:51 What I did I did come across Thomas Paine's And I this is a piece of history. I didn't know Thomas Paine had to commute or I guess was tasked with the job of communicating um What the United States was all about to the to the masses and he wrote a pamphlet or a book? I guess it was called a pamphlet back then called common sense and that's where the phrase common sense comes from that could be Yeah, I can hear you're amazed But anyway, yeah, well, pain was a rebel rouser. Well, good job. We still use it today. It's common sense, they say. So anyway, so the Fourth of July is underway. And of course, is fireworks are legal in the state of Washington and.

CHAPTER 03 / 39 Discussion

Afghan and Iraqi Military Training Keystone Cops Comparison

Observations of fireworks in Washington state lead to a discussion about a PBS documentary featuring the Afghan war where local recruits struggle with basic equipment like hand grenades. This is compared to personal experiences at an Iraqi training camp where security forces exhibited "Keystone Cops" behavior during drills, such as turning the wrong way during an about-face command.

06:42 So I went to a couple of fireworks places to see what was going on. And the funny thing is it's very different than you would get in the olden days, where there were things such as, you know, to find firecrackers, you know, the old Chinese ones with the crazy, with the little, with the cool labels, you know. It's like pulling teeth there. Instead they got all these weird bombs and rockets. Oh yeah, it's all esoteric stuff. You can buy all these crazy things and there's even a thing called a hand grenade which looks like a hand grenade. It's great, isn't it? Teach them kids young. Here, grab this hand grenade. You'll be using one soon in the desert, son. You might as well get used to it. So they had, there's this documentary coming out on the Afghan war that some woman just wrapped up. They're promoting it. I can't remember the name of it, but it'll be promoted to death. I think it's going to be on PBS. And she apparently embedded herself with the training camp for a year or two.

07:40 In the early days of the Afghan war with all these guys. It's like watching the Keystone cops Oh really? Yeah, they hand an Afghani a hand grenade. They've ever seen one before so the guy immediately drops it It's funny that you say that because when I was in Iraq for for that ten days Oops, sorry about that I you know the uh so every day we went to a different town and um and and different camps and we went to the Iraqi training camp where they're training uh the local Iraqis to become police and security force and it was exactly the same thing it was like Keystone Cops and they gave us a little demo and they had them line up you know they all have their uh

08:22 I think they had AKs actually and you know the the drill sergeant says you know about face and then half of them turn right the other half turn left we were all like what I have that on film somewhere it was the funniest thing like okay yeah Yeah, it's uh... and it only costs what, what did we hear that guy say a billion dollars a day or whatever? Yes. That's not ridiculous. Hmm, makes you go hmm doesn't it? Well so there's a bunch of interesting things that came out uh... just I mean you know this is kind of a slow news week because of the Fourth of July everyone's kind of orienting their news towards the Patriot

No Agenda Demographics Survey Results Analysis

The initial results from the No Agenda Demographics survey reveal a "sweet spot" listener age range primarily between 19 and 38 years old. Data indicates a high concentration of listeners in the Midwest and East Coast, with 91% identifying as carnivores. The survey also shows that 25% of the audience has been listening since the show's inception.

noagendademographics.com· demographics· listenership· carnivores· podcast statistics

12:03 You know I like the way they spread them out if you watch some of these TV shows they first you see executive producer Then then again you see it again, and they're actually instead of running like executive producer and putting four days They put executive producer one name and then a few frames later executive or what it just keeps going. Yeah well Hey, you know this people are paying for the show they they want their props They don't want to be just on a list you know A couple things I wanted to mention before we get underway. The first results of the No Agenda Demographics survey is out at noagendademographics.com. I was, I will rescind, I was a little skeptical about this in the beginning, but I really, have you seen this John? Have you looked at the results? Yeah, the problem, you know, the thing is, yeah, you'd be skeptical. For some reason, I don't know what it is about this sort of demographic studies, but you get fascinated by it. And what's interesting, the one I thought was the most interesting is our age demo.

12:56 You know, if we wanted to sell ads on this show, we could make a killing. I mean, we are exactly in the sweet spot. I mean, it's, let's see, 32% is 19 to 28, 26% is 29 to 38. We have a healthy 7% of 14 to 18 year olds. I mean, it's an outstanding demographic. Yeah, well I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the show is actually produced. So it's like a, it has a commercial style which I think people like in that demo. I don't think... Oh you mean stuff like... That's what does it? I think so. Okay.

13:38 Yeah, it makes it sound pro. I think it's a very classy production that we managed to pull off and neither one of us are in the Sweet Spot demo. No, no, by far. The states in the United States of Gitmo Nation. Big listenership in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts. Midwest. Yeah, Midwest, fantastic. A lot in New York though. Red states. Yeah, North Carolina, Ohio. The blue states. Pennsylvania. Well, there's red and blue. West Washington, well of course that's your whole family's listening. Yeah that's five. Eating habits was pretty funny. 91% of the Noah Jessa, Noah Jessa, Noah Jenda demographic is carnivore. 7% is a loose vegetarian. 1% strict vegetarian. 1% pescatarian.

14:29 And loose vegan and strict vegan 0% I guess I know we have at least three or four major Vegans that listen to the show is the point you know so they didn't participate in the survey right obviously no agenda related questions I like this 39% of your crackpot 36% buzzkill 7% denialist 15% are That's nice 63% have shared no agenda, 38% have not, 14% listen on the stream, 20% download MP3, subscribe 66%, that's great. And then this is the real killer. Percentage of listeners who have listened for since the beginning, 25%. That's huge.

15:17 23% for the past half year. I mean, it's just it's outstanding and it makes me feel proud of the work we've done and even more we should we should reset the entire survey and do it again. Mm-hmm But this time we should promote it a little better instead of being so skeptical and see if we can get different results Okay, that's an idea. We'll see what our our demographer thinks of the idea and well before we start pushing it real hard Let's make sure he's all set up for it at no agenda demographics calm And then I do want to call out Jeff Lunt as the PR associate because he came up with a really good idea. We may have discussed this before, but I really like what he did. Jeff says, in the morning guys, I've been a listener for well over a year today. It's my honor and humble duty to send some cash your way. And so he'll show up in the donation segment.

FeelGoodTrader.com Custom 404 Error Page Promotion

PR Associate Jeff Lunt is highlighted for modifying the error pages on his website, FeelGoodTrader.com, to promote the podcast. The custom 404, 422, and 500 error pages include the show's logo and a link, suggesting the hosts may be the only ones who can help if the world is ending.

16:06 As a side note, I know you're looking out for the sysadmin, so I decided to return the favor in a silly way. I run feelgoodtrader.com, which is a Craigslist competitor, and today I changed the 404, 422, and 500 web server error pages to include a link back to noagenda. It says it's my equivalent of the Twitter fail whale page. And I thought this was such an outstanding idea. If you go to feelgoodtrader.com404.html, so if people misspell something, mistype it, etc. You get this great page that says the page you were looking for doesn't exist. About 87% likely it's the programmer's fault.

16:45 10% chance that our server crashed, maybe 3% chance the world is coming to an end. We've been notified about this issue, we'll take a look at it shortly, then there's our logo, and it says underneath that, of course, if the world's coming to an end, these guys may be the only ones that can help us. With a link to no agenda. So thank you. I think that's... You encourage everyone to do this. Yeah. You run a server. It's a fantastic idea. So thank you very much Jeff Lund. You are the PR associate for today's episode and our executive producers Lawrence Froncek, Konstantin Rakatin. Did I say it right? Konstantin Rakatin.

17:22 Josh Feldman, Eric Lance, all of you, thank you very much. We highly appreciate it. These are big producer credits and it's a big show, so make sure you put that on your resume. Everybody else out there, you know what to do. If you're not donating, then propagate. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. And now, audience participation moment. Particularly in the chatroom, noagenderchat.com. Come on, say it with me now. Shut up, Sleep! I didn't find it was that slow of a week, actually. Okay, well you might have more material than I do. I have more lightweight stuff. I've got a... I have something that I wanted to reduce the little light. It's not heavy-duty news.

Home Shopping Network Mitsubishi Spokesperson Voice Parody

A segment of the Home Shopping Network is critiqued for featuring a spokesperson with an over-trained, "puker" style voice. The announcer's pronunciation of "opportunities" and a NASA-related clip about the Milky Way are played to illustrate the extreme 1950s-style vocal delivery used to sell electronics.

home shopping network· mitsubishi· nasa· milky way· voice acting

18:11 It has to do, I was watching, okay, maybe I could have been watching C-Span. The problem up here is I only have one C-Span channel. Ooh, oh, you're deprived. This is no good. Yeah, so there's these hearings, this is, ugh. So I ended up looking around for some good news channel and I got stuck on this home shopping network. Oh, once you get stuck there, it's hard to get out. You fall into a trance. So there was this guy selling a Mitsubishi, I don't want to play this entire clip, But there's this guy selling this Mitsubishi, uh, very, very... I would, how would you say this? A car? A Mitsubishi car? He's kind of a feminine guy who's the main announcer and then he brought in a professional guy from supposedly a spokesperson for Mitsubishi. But the guy was obviously a trained, not only a trained voice, but it was so funny I couldn't get off of it because it was the voice you love so much. One of these puken voices?

19:06 Sorry? One of these pukin' voices like that? It was, yeah, yeah. So I want to play two clips. One of them is, there's one thing that these guys do which they swallow some of these long words and in this case it's the word opportunity. Opportunities. And it's like this opportunity. He says it in such a way that it's just fascinated me, but it was in the second clip where he says something that will crack you up. I guarantee it's hilarious, but it's such a pukers voice. So if you play and opportunities, which is a short clip, you'll get the feeling for the guy's voice. And this is free, free, free, free. And you can build several different channels. So if you want the love channel for those romantic evenings,

19:45 You build in love. If you want the heavy metal channel, you do that as well. So you are given some opportunities. But there's just, there's more. Voodoo. Well, if you want the love channel, you can just program that to pick up on some opportunities. If you want some heavy metal as well, we got that. Some love channel. So the word opportunities, the way he blurts it out, I found fascinating. So what is the other one? Because I don't know what it's called. The other one is the NASA clip and this is the one where he says something that, I mean, it was just like, I said, I'm recording this. Okay, can I play it? Yeah. NASA does an application for this TV. Watch as we go to the videos that NASA provides. They update these constantly. This last one was Tuesday, June 29th. Look at this. It's called What's Up for July. I press the button and I get the NASA report for July for your kids. And it's going to talk about what's up in the Milky Way. Look at the graphics in the video. You can't hear what they're saying right now, but they're talking all about the space exploration that's going on at NASA right now. What's up in the Milky Way.

20:48 I cracked up. I'll hear that again. That was good. Your kids and it's gonna talk about what's up in the Milky Way. It's actually hard to do. It is hard. You know, it's hard to do. Even you can't do it. That voice, that guy's voice is so over trained. Oh man, that's awesome. We should hire him to do some drops for us. Yeah. What's up with the new world order? Yeah, actually he could do some great ones. Yeah, as you mentioned it. I don't know another guy around here that can do that extreme, you know, 50s, 60s voice. Yeah, fantastic though. Hey, can I just point out, John, that we are doing a show on a national holiday? Yeah, that's the kind of effort we put into this thing. Yeah, we don't mess around. And I got people coming over.

World Cup Rigging Theories and Political Turmoil

A theory is proposed that World Cup winners are often countries experiencing significant political turmoil, citing historical examples like West Germany in 1954 and Argentina in 1978. Predictions are made regarding the 2010 final, suggesting Spain might win due to its economic crisis, while noting that the Dutch public has temporarily ignored their lack of a formal government to celebrate the tournament.

world cup· netherlands· germany· spain· argentina· political turmoil

26:24 That's unbelievable. There was an interesting theory I was reading about, now I have not been following this other than the Netherlands of course, the Netherlands beat Brazil. I might add with 10 guys on the field so they were down one guy. Yeah it was embarrassing for Brazil. Well and you know the thing is these games are rigged. The Brazilians lost and so did the Argentinians which are the two major favorites and now we're going to end up seeing Germany versus the Netherlands in the final game and it's going to have all kinds of political implications and the Netherlands is going to beat Germany. That's my theory. Now is Spain out? Does Spain have... No, no. Spain's got one match. I think they're playing either Germany... So here's an interesting thesis. Throughout history

27:10 The winner of the World Cup always or not always often appears to be a country that is in a state of huge political turmoil. Well that means Spain would win the whole thing. That is what I'm going to predict. So 1954 Germany defeated Hungary. Of course this was after the war and there was really bad times in Germany. 1966 England hosted the World Cup and of course Britain at the time was in... people were revolting, there was the Rhodesia crisis, there was a lot of bad stuff going on. Then we had... and I'd actually forgotten about this, 1978...

27:51 It was Argentina who needed the win, and the Dutch team was playing against Argentina, and the best, arguably the best player in the world, Johan Cruyff, refused to go and play for the Dutch team. He said because of his personal security, whatever. I think Cruyff already knew that the fix was in, and they could not win, and he didn't want to go there just to be defeated. In 82 it went to Italy. Of course in the 80s Italy was virtually on the brink of a civil war. You know and now I think you're right Spain and even though everyone's thinking Germany versus Holland and both Germany and Holland could use a win because the Netherlands I mean they still don't have a government and we now almost right and I think there's still there's still this beef about the bicycles. There's no chance Germany can win the World Cup if this thing is rigged the way we suspect it is.

28:48 I'm gonna call France just, I'm sorry, Spain, just to test the theory, although I'd love the Netherlands to win, you know, that'd be great and everything, but it's great. The whole country has forgotten about the fact that they have no government. They've completely forgotten. They don't, it's like, well, who cares? You look at all the newspapers, front pages, all orange, orange, orange, soccer, soccer, soccer, and they have no government. And she's like, what? No one cares. They absolutely do not care. Nobody. It's astounding But Spain and you know the people there on the verge of rioting in fact. They are starting to riot, and it's too late for Greece you know And of course that's why they get kicked out or what did Greece even play Greece even played I see I don't know I know I don't remember You know we I got the biggest soccer fan in the world Let's just face it neither of us know what the hell we're talking about so I'm just gonna call it so I know they kick a ball Yeah

29:44 So, 11 guys on each side. So, if it's Germany or the Netherlands, you call the Netherlands because of the bicycle issue. And I'm just going to call Spain outright just to test the theory. And we'll see. We'll see how we do. Well, anyway, so I guess it ends this week and that's great. In a related... Don't look over here! Nothing to see here! Ooh, look at that! This was a great story. And it's two stories in one. And I was like, wow, and it's a BBC story. A replica World Cup trophy seized by anti-drugs police in Colombia is made out of cocaine lab tests have confirmed. The 36 centimeter statue was found in a delivery crate at the Bogota airport. The crate was in an airmail warehouse waiting to be sent to an address in Spain.

30:39 In another development, a submarine built by drug traffickers was found in Ecuador before its maiden voyage. The World Cup replica was made up of 11 kilos of the drug mixed with acetone or gasoline to make it moldable." I'm like, wait a minute. Right in between this story about a Gold Cup, World Soccer Cup trophy made of coke, they say, in another development, a submarine built by drug traffickers was found in Ecuador before its maiden voyage. I'm like, whoa. And so I look up this drug sub This is like a serious submarine. It's a 31 meter craft with air conditioning, periscope, the whole deal. There's apparently quite a few of these subs. Yeah, but this is the first one that looks professional and they built it apparently in a remote jungle environment. Come on. It's a hundred foot boat, man. A hundred foot submarine. And it's just like kind of muffled away. Hey, look at the World Cup made of coke. Please don't think about submarines.

31:40 Astounding to me. I love the World Cup made of coke. Yeah That's that's the point that see it works yeah, let's just throw that that's interesting world Cup made of coke submarine what submarine I don't know submarine we can find a kids you can learn all about the World Cup made of coke So that's it for this week's news. I think we're done Happy 4th of July everybody So I got a couple of things here. I'm still following the Russian spies thing. I have a clip of the BBC report on it. Now on Thursday we, I think you came up with the best theorem possible which is this was leaked out with the intent to embarrass Clinton who was sitting with Putin at the very moment the news broke and this is part of the spat between the Clinton-tonians and the Obama-nonians.

CHAPTER 11 / 39 Discussion

Russian Spy Scandal and Media Tie-ins

The arrest of Russian sleeper agents in the United States is discussed as a potential distraction or promotional tie-in for the Angelina Jolie film "Salt." The appearance of the spies, particularly the redhead Anna Chapman, is noted alongside a critique of Fox News' "News Watch" program and its handling of media analysis.

31:40 Astounding to me. I love the World Cup made of coke. Yeah That's that's the point that see it works yeah, let's just throw that that's interesting world Cup made of coke submarine what submarine I don't know submarine we can find a kids you can learn all about the World Cup made of coke So that's it for this week's news. I think we're done Happy 4th of July everybody So I got a couple of things here. I'm still following the Russian spies thing. I have a clip of the BBC report on it.

32:41 Although I will say Angelina Jolie's movie Salt is coming out and she's a hot Russian spy. Have you seen these Russian spies by the way? These babes are hot. Well, I don't think they're that hot. The redhead? Come on, the redheads. She's cute. Hello, hot enough. Hey Boris. Shows a lot of cleavage. Yeah, well, duh. If somebody pointed that out Fox has a show on the weekends that doesn't that tries to do the media assassination similar to our show Oh really? Huh? It's called media matters or media something or media attack. I can't remember the name I have to look it up. But it's unfortunately is a five-person show So you have these you got a host like pile jumping it doesn't work and you got too many guests You got four guests it was just way too many for the modern

33:28 Era, I mean that's an old-fashioned thing and and they start bickering Is that the Fox versus media clip? Yeah, yeah Fox versus media clip you can play it is a good example. This is a sorry You got my to this it changes the subject a little bit because this talks about Petraeus But I just took this little clip from this woman who's on the show her name is Andrea Tataros, who is a pretty good-looking conservative writer. And she dropped a bomb in here. I said, what? And I looked it up and yeah, apparently it's true and you can figure out what it is when you play the clip. Fox News Watch, I'm informed. News Watch, that's what it is. They wrote, talking about the difference, the way the left-wing media covers, I mean you have MoveOn.org

CHAPTER 12 / 39 Discussion

MoveOn.org and AP Scrubbing Petraeus Criticisms

MoveOn.org and the Associated Press are accused of scrubbing historical records and criticisms of General David Petraeus from their websites. This "Ministry of Truth" behavior is linked to the political shift following the 2008 election, where former critics of the General's Iraq strategy now support his leadership under the Obama administration.

moveon.org· general petraeus· hillary clinton· associated press· ministry of truth

33:28 Era, I mean that's an old-fashioned thing and and they start bickering Is that the Fox versus media clip? Yeah, yeah Fox versus media clip you can play it is a good example. This is a sorry You got my to this it changes the subject a little bit because this talks about Petraeus But I just took this little clip from this woman who's on the show her name is Andrea Tataros, who is a pretty good-looking conservative writer.

News Watch, that's what it is. They wrote, talking about the difference, the way the left-wing media covers, I mean you have MoveOn.org

34:14 that has scrubbed its sight of the Petraeus criticisms that it had in 2007. None of that was covered. It was very, very different from the way that they covered it in 2007 when he came up to give his report and Hillary Clinton was grilling him. I mean, the media was just probing him. Yeah, you sent me that link and I put it in the show notes. It's under Ministry of Truth. It's right because they did the whole ad with General Petraeus. Petraeus. Right. And so they took that off their site. It's them and AP man. They are good bedfellows. What are we gonna do now? Our man Obama's in and he thinks he's a good guy. Well, get rid of that old stuff. I don't want anybody knowing. Yeah, it's so funny. It's so funny the way history gets rewritten. On the internet it's cool because we've got archive.org and some Google cache. Even though it's cool for us and our listeners because we do the trackbacks.

CHAPTER 13 / 39 Discussion

BBC Report on Clandestine Spy Techniques

A BBC report on the Russian spy ring is mocked for its dramatic description of "clandestine techniques" such as invisible ink and wireless networks. The hosts suggest these methods are antiquated or exaggerated, further supporting the theory that the spy story is a "military-entertainment-industry complex" production.

bbc· russian spies· invisible ink· wireless networks· clandestine techniques

35:12 But if I hadn't just I wouldn't have even known this if it she didn't just happen to casually mention it right? But I did look it up and yeah, apparently they did scrub it so But the other thing the other news item besides the betrayer stuff the Russian spies is the russian spice play this and this is a this is a bbc report on it and i can still to this day it's like this is this can anybody listen to this and not laugh out loud i mean give me a break and this is a bbc yeah bbc is spies One of the suspects worked at this travel agency in Virginia and helped tourists plan trips to Russia. Like the others, he used a variety of clandestine techniques, including exchanging money or information by brushing past each other in public places, hiding secret messages with codes and even invisible ink.

36:03 and exchanging information by wireless network. Oh! Do you hear the way the guy says it? Yeah. Oh, wait, let's... Invisible ink and wireless networks. The first one is the best, yeah. Exchanging money or information by... Money or information. Brushing past each other in... I brush past him. Public places, hiding secret messages with... Hiding secret messages. Codes and even invisible ink. and exchanging information by wireless network. All you have to do is go into a closed IRC chat room. Yeah, really. Type anything you want. Phone is getting in there. That is so funny. Invisible ink. I tell you. Ink and wireless networks. Ooh, what could that possibly be? Ooh, a Wi-Fi. Yeah, I'm telling you that this goes beyond the Clinton-tonian, Obam-mon-onian

37:02 Frack us this is this is promotion for Angelina Jolie's movie and maybe cubby broccoli's got something the way didn't he die? Maybe there's a new James Bond coming out or something Yeah, no This is you're probably right because everything we've noticed this and that people have listened to show like the 25% That's listen since day one have noticed that we've found a connection between a lot of these these these ridiculous news stories like this one and a media event that happened shortly thereafter like a movie release and Exactly. I mean, I remember when that Mothman movie came out there was so much chatter on the talk shows about the Mothman which was this creature that supposedly pops up here and there around the country and they were playing all this stuff straight and then this movie comes out. Yeah. It was the weirdest thing and of course now the latest thing going on is that now it turns out that those those two clowns that barged in supposedly into the Obama party, the Salafis, yeah,

37:57 They had already, apparently the woman had already been put into the housewives of DC and they shot the pilot before, like either on that same day or the day before. We reported that. We reported that the first time it happened. We already had that. Yeah, now it's coming out now finally. Yeah, or as we say... Coincidence? I think not! And so, you know, to play the public with news items that are just part of the... You know, they always talk about the military-industrial complex. It's obviously a military-entertainment-industry complex of some sort, or government-entertainment-industry complex. You're shortchanging it by saying military-industrial complex. It's the military ministry of truth complex.

CHAPTER 14 / 39 Discussion

Senator Robert Byrd Eulogy and KKK History

Following the death of Senator Robert Byrd, Bill Clinton's eulogy is analyzed for downplaying Byrd's leadership role in the Ku Klux Klan as a "fleeting association." Byrd's long tenure in office is attributed to his skill as a world-class fiddle player, which allowed him to gain access to civic meetings and entertain constituents in West Virginia.

robert byrd· bill clinton· kkk· west virginia· c-span· fiddle playing

38:42 Whatever and you know I went to school in West Virginia and You follow West Virginia you follow their sports right I guess yeah, so when I was in West Virginia in the early very early 80s Senator Byrd was not loved a lot of people just hated him, and yeah, I was in a very small school at the time and in Salem, West Virginia. And so you know there was more off-campus activity than on-campus activity and it really was you know and this is kind of a good old boy state if you will. Lovely, lovely state by the way. But I don't, there was no love for Senator Byrd for a number of reasons. So I know a little bit about the guy's background and of course he passed away. A couple interesting things of note. C-SPAN was actually turning off cameras

39:30 During his, what do you call that, his stay in Capitol Hill, they had the body up there, right? They had his body laying in state. Yeah. And so first of all, C-SPAN was turning off cameras. Well, they made a big deal out of this guy's death because he was a Democrat. There's similar people that were Republicans that from the same kind of areas, they would downplay their situation. I have a Senator Byrd story too. Well let me play a little clip for you from his one of the many eulogies and this was on C-SPAN. President Bill Clinton had the following to say which first of all and as you listen to it I thought why bring it up and then second of all I don't think he's being truthful.

40:20 There are a lot of people who wrote these eulogies for Senator Byrd in the newspapers, and I read a bunch of them. And they mentioned that he once had a fleeting association with a Ku Klux Klan. And what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows of West Virginia. He was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done, and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians. So, I'm like, first of all, why bring this up? You know, why say that? And second of all, wasn't he like a grand pooba?

41:05 It wasn't like a fleeting association. He was a recruiter. He was like the owl or something like that. He was an actual recruiter for the KKK. Yeah, some, I don't know. What is this? I mean, that's like scrubbing moveon.org. It's like, huh? Why even bring it up? Why even say it at all? I don't know. It's... For some reason, Clinton's got hidden agendas constantly. We have no idea. It was obviously for some reason or other, somebody maybe... A fleeting association. Mimi came up with an interesting... she did some research on this guy, or ran across this piece. He had a gimmick. He apparently was interviewed about this some long time ago and it never comes up in the main conversation. For one thing, how did this guy stay in office for so long?

41:53 Well, apparently, according to him, his big advantage was that he could get into all these civic meetings, anything he wanted to do. In other words, if you did a lot of these groups like these organizations, whether it's the Rotary or the Kwanas or women's, various women's groups, they don't want to hear some guy stumping for, you know, to come in and tell them to vote for him because they, you know, they've got other things to do. But he could always get into any meeting he wanted to to push himself because apparently he was a world-class fiddle player. Really? Come and play the fiddle for us. Really? So he's like, it's a free concert. I don't know if this is bullcrap or not, but I'll tell you, but, but, but the concept is fantastic. If you are like a performer that can just do great stuff that people would love to see, cause you know, in West Virginia, there's not a lot of entertainment going through there, except local stuff.

42:51 But if you're that good, and the fiddle by the way is amazing when somebody knows how to play it right. Yeah, like Charlie Daniels. Yeah, I mean you could listen to it forever. It's just amazing. And so apparently he could, like, oh, you're gonna come and you're gonna play the fiddle? So he'd play the fiddle and then he'd push himself and say, vote for me and you get another fiddle concert next year. So he'd be, so he just kept getting re-elected because he was, you know, basically, it was just kind of like a bribe. okay how's the standoff is that long at this time to get a pretty good that's pretty good i like that there's a lot of people have you know i mean obama got in cuz he's got a gimmick has a bit billy did do public still serious public speaking that's entertaining is entertaining because it's really entertaining he's a very he delivers a line like no one else and that's a tough thing to do because that we've all bomb and i still think he's on the border always on the border of being a boring guy

White House West Wing Week Reality Show

The White House has launched "West Wing Week," a highly produced online reality series documenting President Obama's activities. The show features music, graphics, and behind-the-scenes footage, including Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack discussing food safety and the President interacting with world leaders like David Cameron at the G20 summit.

43:45 Like you know a John Kerry type of speaker he's and if you listen to these old clips of him where he starts to ramble It's he's a terrible and so he's always on the border of being you know Just going over the top and being horrible to listen to so it's a very fine line Clinton had his saxophone right Clinton had a saxophone interesting and Reagan was a great actor You looked at him and went, let's do this one for the Gipper. He was a TV and movie star so he would always be welcome in whatever venue he wanted to go to. It's like Schwarzenegger. You know he could pretty much go anywhere. He wants to if There's a big meeting and he wants to be part of it. You don't say no. There's a clip I want to play at the end of today's show and I want to play just a little bit of it for you now so you can because I think that this is really worthy of an end clip not because it's some great political statement But the White House now has a reality show were you aware of this no yeah, it's called West Wing Week and

44:50 It's a reality show. Where are they posting it? It's on the whitehouse.gov. It's not on NBC? Well it can be. Alright Ashley, that's what we're going for. West Wing Week. Welcome to the West Wing Week, your guide to everything that's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But first, a brief message from FoodSafety.gov. Hello, I'm Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. This summer, do your best to keep food out of the danger zone. Keep whole food cold, below 40 degrees and hot foods hot by cooking thoroughly and serving right away.

45:26 This week, June 25th to July 1st, or Home of the Kringle. On Friday morning, June 25th, President Obama made a statement on the South driveway about the Wall Street reform bill currently making its way through Congress. So there's a little boring piece of him now, but they've done really short bits, it's all this exclusive behind the scenes footage. what do you just got a little listen to the to the g the g eighty twenty part which is coming right up it's astounding they've put together the president's week into a reality show with graphics sound effects left for musco contrarium for the g inside the plane has a range of global issues

46:07 Upon arrival, he was greeted by Canadian Prime Minister Harper and the delegations immediately got down to important business at hand, discussing economic issues such as global development and a need for greater accountability. On Saturday, June 26th, the G8 Summit took on some issues of international security, including discussions about Iran, North Korea, and the situation in Afghanistan. President Obama then traveled to stormy Toronto for the G20, where he highlighted another area of international cooperation, by giving a ride to newly elected Prime Minister of the UK, David Cameron. The President then spent the afternoon in bilateral meetings. Mr. President, may I please introduce His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Korea. How are you? Affirming our alliance with South Korea, strengthening our relationship with China, and taking time to settle up on a bet with Prime Minister Cameron about the US-UK World Cup soccer match. And it just goes on and on and on, and they're exchanging beers, and then he's watching the World Cup, and it's just like...

47:01 It's a complete reality show. It's eight minutes. Wow. So we play that at the end of the show? Yeah, definitely. And it's got graphics and you heard the music, right? The heavy produced music over Tom Vilsack, the Monsanto shill, telling us to, you know, refrigerate our food. Thanks, Tom. Thank you. And I'm just like, wow, it just blew me away. I'm like, oh my God, they're really going for it. fascinating. It's the Ministry of Truth. Oh totally and this of course all masks what happened two nights ago, Friday night. There was a procedural vote. It's funny we probably didn't see this on the news as a part of the emergency war supplemental bill. This was the so the cover is the president had asked for 30 billion dollars in additional funds which of course we don't have anyway.

CHAPTER 16 / 39 Discussion

Deemed as Passed Budget and War Supplemental Bill

The House of Representatives utilized a procedural maneuver to "deem as passed" a $1.12 trillion budget for fiscal year 2011 as part of an emergency war supplemental bill. This allowed the budget to move forward without a direct, standalone vote, a move criticized as a lack of transparency in government spending.

47:01 It's a complete reality show. It's eight minutes. Wow. So we play that at the end of the show? Yeah, definitely. And it's got graphics and you heard the music, right? The heavy produced music over Tom Vilsack, the Monsanto shill, telling us to, you know, refrigerate our food. Thanks, Tom. Thank you. And I'm just like, wow, it just blew me away.

This was the so the cover is the president had asked for 30 billion dollars in additional funds which of course we don't have anyway.

47:57 And as an attachment, kind of like an email attachment I guess, a document that deemed as past a 1.12 trillion dollar budget for fiscal year 2011. And this passed, 215 to 210, no Republicans voting. So we now have like a budget, but we didn't actually have a vote on a budget. I don't get it. It's like they just... Deemed as past. Deemed as past. So it's, I guess it's, you know, pork, what do you call it? Oh yeah, there's all kinds of crap in there. Pork and earmarks. Yeah, earmark. It's an earmark. But it's a 1.12 trillion dollar budget. The budget for the United States. Yeah. For fiscal year 2011. Yeah. And it's deemed as past. As past.

48:57 Uh, okay. When you own the Congress like that, I think that's where you can rubber stamp anything you want. Right, but then we have all these big charades and shows about uh... Charades. Charades is good. It's the English pronunciation of charade. It's a charade. It's going on the Milky Way! Not even close. Yeah, I know. It hurts me even to try and do it. So anyway, so we're royally screwed on that. Yeah, well we're royally screwed anyway. I mean the economy thing is, you know, right now the market's, you know, kind of tailing off. Oh, are we like at 9,700 or something last time I looked? Yeah, it was a high 9's of some sort, but whatever the case, we have...

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

Economic Collapse Predictions and Judith Miller

Financial analysts Harry Dent and Paul Krugman are noted for predicting a significant economic downturn or depression in late 2010. The discussion also references Judith Miller's presence on Fox News, identifying her as a former New York Times reporter and alleged CIA plant involved in the non-existent "yellow cake" uranium reporting.

harry dent· paul krugman· judith miller· stock market· cia plant

49:46 You know, two people now that have predicted the end of the world as we know it. Harry Dent believes that the stock market will crash and we'll go into a full-fledged depression in August. Wow. And then that character from the New York to Krugman, that weird looking guy from the New York Times pretty much says the same thing. Oh yeah, the uh... Unless we spend the Nobel Prize winner. Yeah, but I see, I liked Krugman until I heard him spouting all these inaccuracies about Wilders. I was like, meh. You know, it wasn't even all that inaccurate, but it was enough. Krugman is another planted CIA. That media news that we talked about a few minutes ago, that Fox, the Media Watch. Yeah. One of the people on there is Judith Miller.

50:33 Who's Judith Miller? Judith Miller was the CIA plant, well we don't know, but she was, to me she looked like the CIA plant at the New York Times who wrote about the yellow cake. Oh! The non-existent yellow cake. Right, and she was like, you know, promoting whatever, the Iraq war agenda. Another piece of news that, honestly I didn't even bring it up two shows in a row, But I feel that I should at least make mention of the fact that the United Nations, and I have a link to their official document at UN.org in the show notes at noagendashow.com, have called for an alternative currency as the world currency. The dollar should not be it. They've called for SDRs once again, the special drawing rights.

CHAPTER 18 / 39 Discussion

UN Call for SDR World Currency and Airline Liability

The United Nations has officially called for the creation of a new world currency based on Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to replace the US dollar. Evidence of this shift is noted on Ryanair boarding passes in Europe, where passenger liability amounts for loss of life or limb are now listed in SDRs rather than Euros or Dollars.

united nations· sdr· world currency· ryanair· european union· liability

50:33 Who's Judith Miller? Judith Miller was the CIA plant, well we don't know, but she was, to me she looked like the CIA plant at the New York Times who wrote about the yellow cake. Oh! The non-existent yellow cake. Right, and she was like, you know, promoting whatever, the Iraq war agenda. Another piece of news that, honestly I didn't even bring it up two shows in a row, But I feel that I should at least make mention of the fact that the United Nations, and I have a link to their official document at UN.org in the show notes at noagendashow.com, have called for an alternative currency as the world currency. The dollar should not be it. They've called for SDRs once again, the special drawing rights.

51:20 and which would be based upon, I guess, a basket of currencies, including the dollar. And as far as I can tell, everyone seems to be all for it, which is kind of is the end of the sovereignty of our dollar. But what was more astounding is I got a picture from one of our producers in, I think, Gitmo Nation, well, somewhere in the United States of Europe. And her husband had a plane ticket. And on the back of the plane ticket, it had like the liability clauses. And so if there's a loss of life, loss of limb, etc. And the amounts were listed in SDRs. So not euros or dollars or anything, but SDRs. Like, you know, if you lose an arm, it's 2,000 SDRs. I'm like, well, that's interesting. So this must be some... I mean, these liability clauses typically come from governmental bodies. They're all kind of fixed.

52:13 So one can only presume that that is an EU statement and it's now on everyone you see if you're flying in the United States of Europe check the back of your ticket and let me know if all the airlines are doing this if they're all listing their liability amounts in SDRs because that's kind of de facto it right then you're just kind of saying hey this is the money that we're basing it on an SDR a suitor hey can I a man can you can I hit you up for 10 sitters What are we gonna call that thing? Well, we've been trying to follow this since its inception and you know, the Amaro is another thing that we have to be concerned about. Right, but I haven't seen the Amaro actually printed on a ticket anywhere. This is going a little bit further. Yeah. But it's not catchy. Amaro at least, you know, I can live with an Amaro. You know, hey man, give me five Amaros. But SDR, it's too many syllables. Yeah, doesn't sound right. We need to come up with some slang for it. Sitter.

53:09 Well, you know we don't see, unfortunately we don't see tickets much anymore. So I wonder if... I think it was on the boarding pass. I have a boarding pass right now which I have here and there's nothing on here about life in the U.S. of any sort. Yeah, but not from Europe. Not from Europe. It was Ryanair, I believe. Ryanair. Yeah. I don't know. I have the picture so I don't think it's doctored in any way. But it does kind of give you food for thought. And in United States of Europe now, there's a lot of talk from top economists. There's a huge scandal with the central bank. I think Europe is indeed about to crash really, really hard.

CHAPTER 19 / 39 Discussion

European Banking Crisis and Foxconn Management

The European Union faces a massive banking crisis requiring an estimated two trillion Euros to stabilize the system. This economic instability is contrasted with China's manufacturing dominance, specifically the operational efficiency of Foxconn, which manages hundreds of thousands of workers through strict hierarchical respect and human resource management.

central bank· european union· foxconn· china· manufacturing· human resources

53:56 Because they're now you know in the same type of banking crisis that we saw in 2008 here, which of course is all just it's imaginary It's just a bunch of numbers it digits and computers everywhere, but of course all these countries are now bankrupt and The talk now is that it would take at least two trillion euros to settle the entire banking system and in the United States of Europe. And of course they... Yeah, but it wouldn't do it, it would settle it, it would zero things out, but it wouldn't help the situation. Well, of course it wouldn't help the situation and that two trillion is only going to Citibank and Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. I mean, it's not going anywhere else but to bankers because I guess their payments on their boats are due. That's how they come up with the number. Hey man, how much do you owe? All right, let's put this number together. Let's go get some cash from those idiots over there.

54:51 But the whole thing is, isn't it crazy? I just woke up this morning, I was thinking about it. It's just, it's crazy. It's just numbers. You know, a bank is insolvent. What does it mean? Who cares? Let's start over. Maybe the SDR is a good thing. Maybe it should start all over. I don't think so. I'm just trying to play all sides of the table. It just doesn't, the whole thing, this situation is just, it's just a bad situation. And let's face reality, the whole thing boils down to the fact that China has taken over the manufacturing of the most things in the world, except for you know, major things, even though they probably do outsource a lot of that to China too, you know, airplanes or airplane parts.

55:29 and it's like uh... this is destroyed everything cuz there's no jobs you you can't compete against the guy who runs foxconn i mean i place you have a how do you write we're talking about this the other day house us talk about it again how does this guy they had a foxconn whose name reludes me but it's around uh... how does a guy manage at factory First, there's a factory town of 400,000 people and one of the big factories within the factory town, the company town, has 250,000 people working there. How do you manage 250,000 people working in a factory?

56:06 The guy's a genius. Yeah, and he started with an operational genius and there's a bunch of these guys in China. How did this come about? Is it the years of communism taught him to you know be able to manage large amounts of people in some way? Maybe it's a an onerous way. We don't know I would never work there. But the fact of the matter is they can manage huge amounts of people so you get this this very interesting leveraging that makes things very cheap. Well, I think it's human resource management, John. That's what it is. And when people actually feel like they're human resources and they do what they're told and they step in line. So yeah, I think it does have to do with centuries of the way people have been manipulated and treated and yeah, you know, and the whole respect thing.

CHAPTER 20 / 39 Discussion

Rumbler Police Sirens and Distracted Driver Era

Police departments in Tulsa and other cities are adopting the "Rumbler," a new siren that emits low-frequency vibrations that can be felt by drivers. While marketed as a tool for the "era of the distracted driver," critics suggest it is an interim step toward the development of acoustic pain weapons that use extremely low frequencies (ELF) to incapacitate individuals.

56:55 You know respect for people of stature. Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with hierarchical respect So in that case, you know America's completely doomed. We have no respect for our politicians for nothing for our leaders No, we got respect for the mighty gun. Yeah, well, we're gonna blowing things up. That's our big Mm-hmm claim to fame there's a There's a new move And I want you to think about this one. This is actually an AP report. You know, AP that truly is the megaphone of the Ministry of Truth. There's a new police siren, but it does something more than just make noise. And I thought the report was interesting because of course they get all the right people to provide the quotes on screen. Hold on a second.

57:44 My video will start in 14 seconds. I found this sound of this thing to be annoying and I think it's disturbing for people who happen to live in neighborhoods where the siren is used. Well, but it's more than just sound and that's kind of the whole point. Here we go. Come on YouTube, switch over. We've already seen the pre-roll. Tulsa, Oklahoma police are among a growing number of departments Using a powerful new siren. It can be heard and felt. He's paying attention. Were you startled at all? Oh yeah, I was like, what the heck? Manufacturer says the rumbler represents a new type of emergency signal. I like it. I've used it this morning, used it yesterday, and in one or two cases it was obvious that the rumbler was what brought the attention to the driver.

58:39 Now listen to this guy. Do you notice anything different about that siren? Yes ma'am. It's a deeper tone than the normal one. The rumbler is designed for the error of the distracted driver. A little vibration in the seats in the car. I mean not a big difference but enough to know that they're back there. Okay so he's got vib- the guy is sitting on a cloth seat in his car and he's feeling the vibration from this siren? Okay, this is just steps away from a pain weapon. I mean what frequency is this thing at well if you start feeling stuff in the sub subsonic Range below 40 cycles. It's gotta be low. It's got to be way low it could be 20 you can get 20 cycles you with with these in do you with these

59:28 Devices you can get a 20 cycle note out out of the out of a horn bass horn of some sort or something I don't know how they're doing it, but yeah, it's doable It's just it's an interim step to a pain weapon the next the next one will be you know the cop pulls up behind He flips on the he flips the switch, and you're just gonna go Now I agree with that and that's exactly where this is headed. I'm very dis- I don't like this kind of thing at all. And of course they have to always have some buzz term, a meme, to rationalize it. And this one, if you listen carefully within that clip, it was the era of the distracted driver. We are now in the era and so you need this, in other words this is the rationale for this thing because we're in the new era. This is the dawning of the age of distracted driver. So that's the, oh okay well it's the distracted driver era. Could it be a form of ELF?

1:00:26 Like a real extremely low frequency even way below the the well you can't get too too Far down with a lot of amp Amplification it actually just starts to destroy body organs That's where we're headed folks. Happy 4th of July. Happy 4th of July Let's let's target let's target an arm. I'll whack the guy's arm off not a problem. Oh Why did you shoot the guy? So this is the type of information we like to talk about on this program. And I want to play a clip, although it's not a new clip, from a program that a lot of people really respect a lot. In fact, often when I talk about certain types of things that seem wild and outrageous, people often point me to this program called Mythbusters, which

Mythbusters RFID Censorship and Sponsor Influence

Adam Savage of Mythbusters describes how a planned segment on the hackability of RFID chips was suppressed by the Discovery Channel. The cancellation followed a conference call involving legal counsel from American Express, Visa, and Texas Instruments, illustrating how corporate sponsors can exert control over media content to prevent the disclosure of technology vulnerabilities.

mythbusters· adam savage· rfid· texas instruments· american express· censorship

1:01:22 Mythbusters is now made in the States, right? I used to watch it in the UK. It's made over in Alameda, I think. Right. But Mythbusters, everyone's like, oh, Mythbusters, that myth has been busted. And they do a lot of different things. And although this is an older clip, I think from 2006, it's very important and it leads into why we don't have any sponsors on this program. So I just wanted to play a minute of this as Adam Savage answers questions about the RFID episode. Testing things for yourself, not assuming that the manufacturer is correct. The one I wish you would revisit more is RFID. Now I know that, does Carrie still have the RFID tag in her arm? Dude, the RFID thing. Why did you not? I'm sorry. I'm not, you, it's just, it's not going to happen. I, I, to discover, here's what happened, here's, here's what happened. I'm not sure how much of the story I'm allowed to tell, but I'll tell you what I know.

1:02:18 So note right there, he says, I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to tell, because they apparently were asked to do an R, you know, to debunk the myth of the chip in the arm, the RFID chip, and we're all going to be chipped around the globe. And so he's already like, oh, dude. We were going to do RFID, and on several levels, you know, how hackable, how reliable, how trackable, etc., etc. And one of our researchers called up Texas Instruments, And they arranged a conference call between, I think, Torrey and the head producer over there for the other team, Linda Wolkovich, and one of the technicians at Texas Instruments. This was supposed to be a conference call to talk about the technology. And like Tuesday at 10am. And Tuesday at 10am, Linda and Torrey get on the phone and the Texas Instruments comes on, along with Chief Legal Counsel for American Express, Visa, Discover,

1:03:19 So I don't think I have to tell you where this leads, but the story is the story got cut they're not even allowed to talk about it and Even before they cut the piece they had American Express that all the sponsors the network everyone's on oh man you can't do this and and this is the program and listen to the adoring slaves in the audience who are laughing and clapping and cheering about the About well basically you can call it. It's not really censorship because the government's not censoring it But this is exactly why we have a listener supported show and why we don't have sponsors or a network We have to adhere to because we couldn't talk about half the thing you could imagine John. We're gonna do the piece on On Clinton talking about the KKK imagine that meeting The me you know people don't realize you always have to remember that two of us have got a really a lot of

1:04:17 experience in the media at all kinds of levels and I less in terms of meetings Adams probably the most experienced yes I am experienced in me and he but these meetings I've been to these meetings and you get these meetings and there's some guys they don't really care about anything but you know they care about their income being they more than they care about the quality of their shows and their income is determined by these advertisers who throw their weight around at every chance they get. I mean, advertisers love to throw their weight around. It makes them feel great, especially some of these lackeys that work in some of these either agencies or for some of these companies, and they like to

1:04:59 lorded over people and a lot of stuff just simply gets censored because it's just going to offend somebody or kill our, our income is going to go down or whatever. And these meetings go on and on and on about this. And this is obviously what happened here. They killed a whole segment on the hackability of an RFID chip. and probably were gonna do some other stuff that was gonna upset somebody at American Express and golly American Express gives us so much money that you know we can't have that and these other guys in Texas Instruments is a sponsor they're supporting PBS down in Texas we can't you know they don't want this revealed so they don't want to review the public doesn't find out and everybody's happy.

Value for Value Model and Cannabis Agenda

The hosts reiterate their commitment to a 100% listener-supported "value for value" model to avoid the corporate censorship seen in mainstream media. A $74 donation is acknowledged from a supporter of the Cannabis Agenda, leading to a brief discussion on the propaganda surrounding marijuana legalization initiatives in California.

1:05:40 And we can't live that way it wouldn't be worth doing the show. You know it's not the show is not We've decided that we're gonna be a hundred percent listener support We're not taking any underwriting money or anything even though I had considered that early on but now I realize that we we can do you know we can do with more listeners we can get by more than effortlessly with listener support and I think it makes the listeners more engaged too because they know they're picking up the tab on the show and And we, you know, and so every week we have to, we do take a break for this one thing, which is to ask you to go to noagendashow.com or dvorak.org slash NA or channel Dvorak.

1:06:21 dot com slash n a and contribute uh... become a producer or become a an executive producer do it or become a night which is what we really really like the most in the join an exclusive club we had to have a good we don't have a lot of good contributors at the big way this week we want also remind you that we really appreciate the five dollar subscriptions Yeah, and the $30 subscriptions as well. And it's lucky $30 subscription, which is fantastic. And so anyone giving those things, you don't get called out, but believe me, we very much appreciate it. But let's talk about, uh, and of course we start off with a name that is a toughie. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no. I don't use that name. I keep the name off the air, which I couldn't pronounce anyway. I was waiting to catch him. $74 donation based on the 4th of July, seven, four. And he,

1:07:09 really wants us to give a plug to the cannabisagenda.com. You know, no agenda. This is cannabis agenda. You can only imagine what the show is about. It's on iTunes as well. So cannabis agenda is obviously promoting the legalization of marijuana. I hope and Which we talked about on this show quite a bit then, you know again You don't get much discussion about these sorts of topics on anybody else's show. You're just not gonna hear in-depth discussion and deconstruction and and then finding Interesting articles that are obviously propaganda pieces that have been planted by public relations agencies that are trying to keep it so we don't get the marijuana initiative passed in California and I think Adam is betting that it won't pass. I'm betting that it will. Okay, well it's a fair bet. I think it will never pass. CG Mayor, Mount Gambier, South Australia.

1:08:07 I thought this was last week's guy. No, no, no, I haven't heard this one. I think Adam's something or other. No, Chemtrails, yes, and John's potholes cancel each other out. The potholes is a lot different than Chemtrails. Can I just say one thing, John? Okay. This is really important because I started an initiative on the Daily Source Code and it's very simple. But you know, I'll hold that until right. I'm not going to mention the chem word. But let's finish up the donations and I'll tell you what my initiative is. Jonas Olsen, Eslav, Sweden. Oh nice. $50. One thing you can sure how to make over there, Gitmo Nation East has some great rock music. Yeah, this is a donation based upon daily source code 837. I've been doing three hours worth of programming these days on Fridays. Three hours worth of great music.

1:09:01 Some fun talk great taking requests live from the chat room and of course that's also listener supported and and I'm asking people to donate to no agenda. Well, he did yes Now, and then finally we have of course Travis Wynn's knighthood layaway came in and Jeffrey Lunt. Yeah, he was our PR associate. That's his $50. He's the Evanston guy we mentioned earlier. Evanston, Illinois. So that's it for this week. Go to noagendashow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA. We could kick this up a little bit if you don't mind. And channel Dvorak dot...

1:09:39 com slash n a and uh... if you don't wanted do a bigger donation take a one of the subscriptions to five buck one of the thirty buck one so now that's for a ten dollar one need to do i'm uh... i'm i'm hanging eric the shield in the In the chat here, and he's not telling me if Lawrence is a knight or not. I think we should give Lawrence Froncek the benefit of the doubt. Yeah. Okay. Did you feed him turkey or something? Did he fall asleep? Is that what happened to Eric? I don't know where he is. He may be having kids pulling on his leg. Could you unsheath for a moment? Yeah, there he is. Lawrence Froncek, please step forward. And I hope I'm pronouncing your name properly.

1:10:27 We are giving you the benefit of the doubt in your value for value proposition to become a knight of the No Agenda Roundtable. We're sure that your donation to your girlfriend counts as an earlier contribution, so for the total of at least $1,000, we are now proudly pronouncing you Sir Lawrence Fronchek, knight of the No Agenda Roundtable. Come on over, buddy. Enjoy our hookers and blow. And your knight ring is coming soon, right John? Absolutely. I want to mention something that came up in the conversation. I'd like to remind people about this knighthood thing. It was some years ago when I was looking, somebody got a knighthood, you know, some American from the Queen. And I said, you know, why don't we have knighthoods, you know, in this? Well, anyone can become, can tell, you just set up some requirements and you can knight people. Why not?

1:11:23 Think you should use the title sir. Yes in fact Lawrence can now actually say sir Lawrence Froncek executive producer of no agenda show 214 of the no agenda of the Knights of the no agenda roundtable I would like to see the point to show how corrupt the governments are around the world to the point where it becomes illegal to do what we're doing you know you can you can buy titles you can buy Royal titles there's a there's quite a market in that you can become a prince or a Viscount or a Baron these are all for sand and the way it works is there's usually a baroness or a princess somewhere and you pay your you know 10 maybe 50 grand and Then she comes over and then you get married and divorced in a day and you got your title It's all and it's real. It's official. I've looked into this and

Contrail Tracking App and Aviation Route Discrepancies

A proposal is made for a mobile app that allows users to photograph contrails and overlay them with published Jefferson aviation routes using GPS data. The project aims to determine if aircraft are deviating from established flight paths, though the discussion acknowledges skepticism regarding "chemtrail" conspiracy theories.

1:12:14 I found the price to be a little steep. I found the price to be a little steep. I was like, hey, I want a blowjob at least if I'm going to do all that. No, no, the princess will not do that. So there's something, I've been noticing these strange contrails, John. And I say strangely... You're not going to talk about this. Yeah, no, I'm not talking about chemtrails. I'm talking about contrails. I just want to... This falls more under trains good, planes bad. It's a very simple... Okay, alright, alright. Just bear with me for a second. You know, I've been in aviation for a little while now and when you fly and you fly above, oh say 20, well it's different in different airspaces, but usually above even 6,000 feet. But certainly when you're at 25,000 feet or above where, let's say if you were flying a jet you might produce some contrails.

1:13:05 There are published routes and you can buy these. In fact there is Google map overlays and Jefferson is the company that published, they're the most famous for publishing these routes. And it's like an airway in the sky. You can't just like fly around wherever you want to go. Right? And if you were to overlay these air routes with the contrails that I see They don't match up. And it's just bothering me a little bit. So I've asked engineers out there and app developers to come up with an iPhone app and an Android app where you can basically stand underneath one of these contrails. You know, the tic-tac-toe grid ones are the funniest.

1:13:46 because wow, I mean if we really flew that close together on these air routes we'd have a lot of mid-air collisions. You take a picture of it and of course you have to have GPS in your phone and then we'll be able to upload that and overlay that in a KML file underneath the published air routes and if anything we should be able to ask the FAA and the aviation authorities in every country why these aircraft are not flying according to the published and allowable routes. I just thought that was kind of an interesting project. Makes sense to you? We're not military, they can fly anywhere they want. Really? And if they just crisscross through published air routes, that's not dangerous? I mean, I share the sky. It's not the same altitude. Oh, but they have to be at least 25,000 feet or above in order to produce a contrail. So I'm just saying I find it interesting. Yeah, okay, I think this app would be very popular amongst criminally insane people that actually believe in this crap. You're calling me criminally insane?

1:14:48 No, I said amongst the cri- no I'm not. Well, maybe. Let me think about it. Okay. Alright, so that's all. I didn't mean to call you criminally insane. That's okay, but that's, uh, it's noted. So anyway, okay, the app would be actually quite interesting. You could definitely get some traction with it. Right. Instead of trying to prove some kind of conspiracy theory, I'm just interested as a concerned aviator why people are not flying the published routes. I don't have proof yet, but I'm sure with this app we can probably come up with proof that people aren't really flying the published routes and if... and who is? I don't see that much crisscrossing. The only time I've ever seen that, and I think this is where this comes from with you,

1:15:29 is over Amsterdam, I will say that I looked up once and it was like holy crap. There was like crisscrosses every which way but that's the airport. I think it's just the way they're just putting people in a landing pattern. Okay, all right, sure. I mean, I know a little bit about flying. I've never seen it over the San Francisco Bay Area, the big crisscrossing thing. Oh wow, okay. All right, I have. I have seen it. No. Okay. The Tic Tac Toe Bridge. You haven't seen it? No, I have actually. I actually have. No, I actually have. Hey, so while we're on the topic because this is just an outstanding week, the PR companies have done a great job, in particular Hill & Knowlton. All aboard, trains good, planes bad. Of course I just play that to give you nightmares. This is phenomenal news, John. Siemens

Siemens High-Speed Rail and Banking Expansion

Siemens, a major manufacturer of high-speed rail equipment, is establishing its own bank to bypass traditional lenders and access central bank liquidity. This move is discussed alongside Deutsche Bahn's plans for expanded rail service in Europe and Singapore's "Go Green" transit advertising campaigns.

1:15:29 is over Amsterdam, I will say that I looked up once and it was like holy crap. There was like crisscrosses every which way but that's the airport. I think it's just the way they're just putting people in a landing pattern. Okay, all right, sure. I mean, I know a little bit about flying.

Of course I just play that to give you nightmares. This is phenomenal news, John. Siemens

1:16:23 who of course is the maker of many fine high-speed rail products. Like those German ICE trains that blow out the windows every once in a while. And as you know, the former head of Siemens train services is now in head of the California High-Speed Rail Project. We talked about that a couple weeks ago. Siemens is now setting up its own bank. Frustrated that lenders won't lend to them. Oh, this is fantastic! Now they can get TARP money and all kinds, they can be a part of the system. They're actually connecting up to the mothership money supply. We need to know agenda bank. Yeah, hell yeah, so that we can, all you have to do is have one dollar and then you have ten, it's automatic. It's called fractional reserve lending.

1:17:14 And so they're starting their own bank and it's in the Financial Times. It's a great... What a great idea! These guys are brilliant, I tell you. So, just looking through some of the stories, many of them must be planted. There's just no other way. Deutsche Bahn is planning high-speed trains to southern France and the UK. Which... This is the ice. I guess that's going to cut into some of the airline profits. Singapore on board with the program. They have a new ad campaign, Go Green with Smert SMRT. And they actually took the, you know the Twitter fail whale, where you've got the whale being lifted on strings by little tweet birdies. So they have a picture of the same blue and there's like butterflies lifting trains and buses up and it's better by train, better by bus. Let's clear the air!

Binge Flying Meme and High-Speed Rail Economics

The UK government is curbing airport growth at Heathrow to combat "binge flying," a new media meme used to discourage air travel in favor of rail. An analysis of high-speed rail economics suggests that systems like the one proposed for California are unlikely to be profitable, requiring unrealistic passenger volumes and frequency to break even.

binge flying· heathrow· high-speed rail· climate change· london· manchester

1:18:21 So they want people to get out of planes and into trains and buses. Great campaign. I'm sure someone's going to win an award in Cannes for that one. The New York Times now all of a sudden comes out with, and this has to be a plant, because it was, we read about this the minute Cameron became prime minister. We read right there in his in his proclamation that he's not going to allow the third runway at Heathrow and no expansion and now the New York Times is like, Britain curbing airport growth due to aid climate! Like, okay Elizabeth Rosenthal who wrote this article, who told you? What was the headline again? Britain curbing airport growth to aid climate. To aid climate? Yes, the climate needs aiding.

1:19:11 In a bold, if lonely environmental stand, Britain's coalition government has set out to curb the growth of what has been called binge flying. By ref- BINGE FLYING! There's a meme for it. Oh, that's another meme. That's a good one. Yeah. Binge- because of course we have binge drinking in the UK. Now it's binge flying. By refusing to build new- What is binge flying? Nobody binge flies. Yes, the Britons are- Oh god, I gotta go flying. The Britons are binging. Ugh, I gotta go binge on flying. Oh man, I gotta go fly some more. I can't wait to sit in another easy jet. Ah, I need more, I need more. That's- that's ludicrous. It's ludicrous? Umm...

1:19:51 Bold and lonely environmental stand. The coalition has called to curb the growth of what's been called binge flying by refusing to build new runways around London to accommodate more planes. Because they're bad. Trains are good. And of course we also know that they're building high-speed rail in the United Kingdom now. We need that. Forget the planes. No more binge flying for you. And there's this great article which we can only touch on. Why does England need high-speed rail? Where are they going? Where are you going to go? Manchester. Manchester. It's... We already talked about it. London to Manchester? Yeah, that's for goods. Why? It's for goods, it's not for people, it's for goods. I always forget. You're right, it's for goods. Well you taught me this. Yeah, I know, and I forget it, but I can't remember my own theories. So there's a great article that I'd like everyone to read, it's on the trains good, planes bad, in the show notes, noagendershow.com. It's titled High Speed Rail as Religion.

1:20:44 Which is great. This kind of falls into the whole idea of global warming as a religion, etc. And there's a lot of great articles. It's too long to talk about here. However, the gist of this article does say that there is no evidence whatsoever that this high-speed rail will ever pay off. In fact, they did a calculation. How many... Here it is. how many people would have to travel and how frequently the trains would have to run in order to actually make it profitable, since each of these trains, these high-speed rail trains, can only really have about 300 people. They'd have to run like every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. You know, there's just no evidence whatsoever that certainly the California HSR system

Light Rail and Obesity Reduction Study

A study from Charlotte, North Carolina, claims that commuters who use light rail systems lose an average of six and a half pounds and have an 81% lower risk of becoming obese. The hosts mock the study as a propaganda effort to increase public support for expensive transit projects by linking them to health benefits.

1:21:33 Will at all pay off and it's you know, it wouldn't even be scheduled to be done until 2035 Yeah, if it would even make that it's ridiculous It is I think one of the impetus is you know It's quite possible that another way of pushing this train thing is to leave those potholes. Yeah, of course it is Yeah, the pot holes are there for a reason and people even people who listen to show regularly don't understand Or maybe misconstrue our news about trains as negativity. And part of it is, I mean, there's just so much lying going on. We have to, a number of people have written these nasty notes to us saying, well you don't get it. Yeah, there's nothing that would be better than high-speed rail. It would solve this problem and that problem and this problem and that problem. That's bullcrap.

1:22:26 It would still take, I could still drive faster than, unless this train never stops anywhere. And they always, you know, they're going to stop two or three places because a high-speed rail gutting down California, there's not going to, they're going to, there's going to be little towns that say, no, you have to stop, you know, pick up someone. Yeah, of course. Of course. Just so you know, from 680 News, Charlotte, North Carolina, a new United States based study, no link, of course, shows a good transit system helps people to stay slim. How's that? These guys are good, aren't they? These guys are so good. Researchers looked at 500 people in Charlotte, North Carolina before and after the city completed a light rail transit system, found the typical commuter who used the system to get to and from work lost an average of six and a half pounds over a year to a year and a half. In addition, those who use the light rail lines had an 81% lower risk of becoming obese.

1:23:25 We're saved. This is ridiculous. This is what we call it. This is getting... I think this is almost like testing the public's credibility or the credulousness. I mean, do you believe anything that these people tell you? Yeah, of course. It's that's what's so beautiful about this topic. That's why we have a jingle is because it is phenomenally interesting to watch this unfold and Hopefully John I really hope we live to be very very old and we'll be in 20 years. We'll be doing this show on Skype still on Skype and and we'll be saying see and there'll be no more planes flying and

Terrafugia Roadable Aircraft and Pilot Insurance

The Terrafugia "Transition" is clarified as a roadable aircraft rather than a "flying car," requiring a pilot's license and significant flight hours for insurance coverage. The segment addresses media misconceptions about the ease of operating such vehicles and the practical challenges of aircraft ownership.

terrafugia· flying car· light sport aircraft· aviation insurance· pilot license

1:24:08 And I need to sell my plane, it's impossible. It's become so negative now, no one's even buying little planes. I can't sell them, I have to give it away almost. Well they did have this con, you know the other thing that came up was the car plane. You know the Terrafugia, which I've been following, is, and I heard you talking about this I think on Tech 5. It's not a flying car. What I like about this is it's a roadable car. So instead of a roadable plane, it's basically a plane that can drive. It's a beautiful piece of machinery. I've seen the test flights and I don't know how it handles but it looked like it was doing pretty good.

1:24:49 And if I could afford it, I mean they're like 200 grand, I mean I would love to have one. And by the way, just because it falls into the light sport utility doesn't mean that you actually get a license after 20 hours. You can take the test after 20 hours. Even if you pass the test, you will not get insurance until you at least have hundreds of hours. So please don't worry that we're going to have a bunch of idiots flying around in rotable airplanes. and killing everybody. That's just the minimum requirement to take the test is 20 hours for a light aircraft. You can't fly everywhere and do everything, and you certainly will not get insurance out of the box, which is the whole trick, basically. It's the insurance you need

1:25:29 uh lots of time we've been misled yes you gee you think because i heard you literally reading one of these reports verbatim i'm like oh jeez i gotta set him straight on that i've been misled yes you have by the media because it's the continuous you know dream of flying cars Like, oh, it's a flying knight. It's a rotable aircraft. They'll sell a few. No, I wish I could afford it. It'd be great to have it in the garage. And it only needs 1,700 feet, which is still pretty lengthy, by the way. But you know, and just to take off, that'd be great. The biggest pain in the ass of having an aircraft is where to put it. And without a doubt, the aircraft is never where you are when you need it. That's one of those naughty things about aviation. Yeah, you have a nice little country home. Yeah.

CHAPTER 29 / 39 Discussion

Boating Under the Influence and Municipal Corruption

A fatal boat crash near the Statue of Liberty involving alcohol leads to a discussion on the expansion of DUI enforcement, including ignition interlock devices. The hosts argue that aggressive DUI laws have become a revenue-generating scam for cash-strapped municipalities, sometimes resulting in "thought crime" arrests where individuals are charged despite not driving.

1:26:18 Maybe have it airstripped down the road and just jump in your plane drive over to it and take off well You don't even need a I mean that if you have a country home that you can have an airstrip wherever you want Let's take off from the road. I'm trying to see if you had a couple more clips. Let's just do some of those Well since we're talking about these memes everyone's trying you know these these various memes are floating around we overuse that word that you know trying to promote one agenda or never another play drunk voter and Hold on a second drum. In fact, the new meme is meme just so you know were setting a trend. A deadly boat crash near the Statue of Liberty and police say alcohol was involved. One man was killed, two others injured. When two boats collided, police say a 39-year-old man was out on the water with his wife and three young children. When their boat hit a smaller one, a man on that smaller boat was killed. Two others are in stable condition. Police busted the driver of the larger boat, charging him with vehicular manslaughter and operating a vessel while intoxicated.

1:27:22 And a scary evacuation at sea. Yeah, I think most people on a boat are drunk. Isn't that what you have a boat for? To go out and drink beer? You know, it's funny. I saw a news clip from Gitmo Nation Lowlands where they have now introduced the interlock device. This is our worldwide thing. for drinking under the influence and this, oh it's funny I wish it were in English, but this woman who's the spokeswoman for the cops over there who's dressed in a police uniform.

1:28:01 And, you know, they showed the demonstration of someone getting in the car and then blowing into the lock and otherwise it won't start. And she's very, very clear to point out, this isn't, she said, this is not a gift, by the way. You pay for the installation, you pay for the training, you pay for the monthly download of the data. This is big, big, big business. Very big business. And of course, you pay for your lawyer, for the trial, for the court costs. And and what is it based upon? Yeah, well, it's just thinking about driving Just being drunk and having keys in your pocket as we talked about on the last show can get you a DUI Conviction. Well, there's a probably a split Revenue split with the local Authorities we actually have I've noticed we have a number of DUI lawyers who are starting to donate to this show We've got to watch what we're doing

1:28:56 Oh, well have them do an interview with them on the daily source code or something and we'll put the best clips on the show. Oh, that's a good idea, but they need to donate. That would be useful. It would be handy. again other degree to probably put together a fairly decent we go was to a special you know talking about some of these issues and i think this is a message is essentially municipal corruption because we're good the situation where all these little municipalities are overpaying all their staff so they can live it up and and have nice retirement benefits uh... they have no tax money don't have enough tax money coming in so they have to scam the public that supports them and this is what method of scamming us

CHAPTER 30 / 39 Discussion

BP Oil Spill Health Risks and Obama's Response

Reports from the Gulf of Mexico suggest that BP is restricting medical access for workers exposed to toxins from the oil spill. While President Obama claims there are no significant elevations in toxins, critics compare the situation to the long-term health effects seen after the Exxon Valdez disaster and question the administration's transparency.

bp oil spill· exxon valdez· barack obama· toxins· gulf of mexico· health care

1:29:40 It's a scam. It was a scam when somebody's getting a DUI for sitting in a McDonald's. Yeah, with the keys in his pocket. McDonald's burger with it while intoxicated. Yeah, the thought crime. Ah, you were thinking of driving so we're gonna arrest you. I'd like to get more documentation on that happening. You know, it's probably one of those things that's happening everywhere and nobody, you know, it's just like a local phenomenon. We haven't talked about the oil cabal and I just want there was just one interesting clip that showed up on CNN which was a throwback to the Exxon Valdez or as this woman will say Valdez which immediately kind of discredits what she's saying it's like he said Valdez how come when she's saying Valdez is it what is correct Valdez? The Exxon I don't know now that you mention it I'm confused. Yeah I

1:30:30 I'm confused too. 51 years old, almost all of those people who did work on the Exxon Valdez are now dead. And BP still here once again is big oil, not giving the information to the doctors and health care officials. A county nurse was not given permission to go onto the BP property when she finally did that.

1:31:14 The people who work at BP who are coming to see her were only allowed to get band-aids and aspirin from her. I'm dying, I'm poisoned. Here's a band-aid and some aspirin. Call me in the morning. Oh man. And they were told that they only could go to the BP doctors if they wanted to get treated. President Obama touched on the health issues in particular in the Gulf today and I want to play this, listen. So far we have seen that on shore we are not seeing huge elevations in toxins in the air or in the water.

1:31:54 But that may not be the case. It sounds like Obama. This is Obama. We're actually doing the work and we've got to make sure that we are providing all the protections that are necessary. Do you think the administration is doing enough to help? All right, so... By the way, I found a web page that's from Valdez, Alaska and it's pronounced Val-deez. Yeah, I don't know why she's saying Val-dez. That kind of destroys the whole... Kind of credibility factor there. And then Anderson Cooper comes out and he's like, oh my first amendment rights are being violated. It's funny for him to say that. Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper. They're really hammering the administration now. When CNN does it, you know something's afoot, my friends. Come on Anderson Vanderbilt, come on in buddy. Tell us about it.

CHAPTER 31 / 39 Discussion

Anderson Cooper and First Amendment Access Restrictions

CNN's Anderson Cooper has criticized new Coast Guard rules that prohibit media from coming within 65 feet of oil spill response vessels or booms. While Cooper frames this as a violation of First Amendment rights, the hosts suggest the 20-yard restriction is reasonable for safety and that the media's outrage is part of a broader shift against the Obama administration.

1:31:54 But that may not be the case. It sounds like Obama. This is Obama. We're actually doing the work and we've got to make sure that we are providing all the protections that are necessary. Do you think the administration is doing enough to help? All right, so... By the way, I found a web page that's from Valdez, Alaska and it's pronounced Val-deez. Yeah, I don't know why she's saying Val-dez. That kind of destroys the whole... Kind of credibility factor there. And then Anderson Cooper comes out and he's like, oh my first amendment rights are being violated. It's funny for him to say that. Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper. They're really hammering the administration now. When CNN does it, you know something's afoot, my friends. Come on Anderson Vanderbilt, come on in buddy. Tell us about it.

1:32:51 A new rule announced today, backed by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges. A rule that will prevent reporters and photographers and anyone else from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife in just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably familiar with clean up crews, deforming the media, private security, blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they're working for because they're afraid of losing their jobs. BP has said again and again that's not their policy, yet again and again it has happened. We've seen it. But that's BP. Now the government apparently is getting in on the act, despite what Admiral Thad Allen promised about transparency just nearly a month ago. Here's what he said back then.

1:33:34 I have put out a written directive and I can provide it for the record that says the media will have uninhibited access anywhere we're doing operations except for two things if it's a security or safety problem. That is my policy. Uninhibited access unless it's a security or safety problem. Well, the Coast Guard today announced new rules keeping photographers and reporters and anyone else from coming within 65 feet of any response vessel or booms out on the water or on beaches. 65 feet. Now in order to get closer you have to get direct permission from the Coast Guard captain of the Port of New Orleans. You have to call up the guy. Oh, we have to do some work. We got to call up the guy.

1:34:13 65 feet isn't all that crazy. I mean we can't have a bunch of Anderson Coopers running around. I mean what is that? That's 20 yards. It's not all that bad. Is that crazy? Is that weird? Am I- I don't know what they want. I don't know. I mean, you have to come within 20 yards of what? Some- Of a vessel. Of a vessel that's working trying to clean it up. That makes kind of sense to me and if you want to come close you got to call up the guy. Yeah, I think that's fine. 20 yards is a little... Hey, there's things called telephoto lenses. Yeah, but you know, sir, why is Anderson Cooper making such a big deal? He's making such a big deal. He's making such a big deal of this. I think they're just out to get Obama. That's exactly what I was thinking, you know, and people are like, oh, his First Amendment rights have been suspended. Oh, please, 20 yards. You know, it makes sense. We don't want to... It can still float in the water just 20 yards away. I don't think that's a huge problem.

CHAPTER 32 / 39 Discussion

Obama's Reversal on General Petraeus and the Surge

Archival audio from a congressional hearing shows then-Senator Barack Obama lecturing General David Petraeus and questioning the effectiveness of the Iraq war surge. This is contrasted with the President's current reliance on Petraeus, highlighting the political theater involved in military leadership transitions.

barack obama· david petraeus· iraq war· the surge· congressional hearing

1:35:09 You know, it's hard to cover it up at this point. It's pretty obvious what's going on. I just thought that was kind of interesting. It does seem to be more of the Obama hate that's taking place. Well, you know, Obama's brought it on himself. He's bypassed the media. He made all these promises, you know, take it to the bank. He hasn't done really half of it. You can take that to the bank. He wants to, you know, he can't get us out of these idiotic wars. And, you know, now they're big buddies with General Betrayus. Yes. And in fact there is a clip which I sent you the copy of where Obama goes on and on. He's like, he's in a congressional hearing when he was a senator and he's reading Betrayus, the riot act, and he's supposed to be asking questions. He takes up his entire time

1:36:03 the rating betray us and telling him you know what you know you could you doing the best you can but this is bull crap has no effect on the next thing you know and i got the clip right here on display a little bit of it over the four minute please for missing making that assessment and it makes it very difficult then for those of us who would like to join with you in a bipartisan way to figure out how did best move forward uh... too extricate this from the day-to-day politics that infects Washington. So I just wanted to get that on the record. Final stipulation. I think the surge has had some impact, as I suggested. I would hope it would, given the sacrifices and loss that have been made. I would argue that the impact has been relatively modest, given the investment.

1:36:56 And I have to say that based on my testimony, it is not clear to me that the primary success that you've shown in Anbar has anything to do with the search. You said in this testimony... It was for the poppies, man, the harvest. Come on, Obama, you know that. ...that it's political. This is an Iraq... What? Yeah. Oh, well, okay, I'm sorry. Then it can't be about the poppies. Now, it's just that the whole thing is, he goes on and on and on, he never asks a question that I could never, at least I couldn't get into. We're at the clip point of about four minutes and thirty seconds where he's just lecturing the guy. Yeah, yeah, it does go on and on. And then, you know, meanwhile, he does make this point about the surge being questionably, questionable importance, although,

1:37:38 in both administrations seem to have now said it was it worked but what but sputnik or you know what in according to what stats in according to who yeah i mean who knows where the search did anything and it will not why are we you know uh... it is just a big waste of time and money so on thursday uh... president obama uh... leader of the free world insured us that are quote southern border is more secure today at any time in the past twenty years Meanwhile back in- That's just a lie. Yeah, well so there was a huge massacre in El Paso City, uh, El Paso City Hall taking fire from the Mexican border. Like 23 people were killed 12 miles from, uh, Nogales, Arizona. 21 people massacred in a fight between rival smuggling gangs over the right of way to bring their illegal immigrant shipments of narcotics into the U.S.

CHAPTER 33 / 39 Discussion

Border Security Claims and Mexican Cartel Violence

Despite President Obama's claims that the southern border is more secure than ever, reports of extreme violence continue, including a massacre near Nogales and gunfire hitting the El Paso City Hall. The violence is attributed to rival smuggling gangs fighting over narcotics and human trafficking routes into the United States.

1:37:38 in both administrations seem to have now said it was it worked but what but sputnik or you know what in according to what stats in according to who yeah i mean who knows where the search did anything and it will not why are we you know uh... it is just a big waste of time and money so on thursday uh... president obama uh... leader of the free world insured us that are quote southern border is more secure today at any time in the past twenty years Meanwhile back in- That's just a lie.

Like 23 people were killed 12 miles from, uh, Nogales, Arizona. 21 people massacred in a fight between rival smuggling gangs over the right of way to bring their illegal immigrant shipments of narcotics into the U.S.

1:38:31 It's like the city hall of El Paso City is being shot at. What? Well, where's El Paso City? Because that's not necessarily anywhere near, I guess maybe it might be. Yeah, I think it is. I mean, near the Arizona border. Whatever the case is, there's all kinds of shit going on and they just can't, I don't know what the government is up to. Why Obama's and the rest of them are so adamant about this. About lying to us you mean yeah, well it I mean we have listeners that are on that side of the of the argument and then none of their arguments make any sense to me. Yeah, it's just racism. You're just racist. Yeah, right. Yeah, that's where we are racist, right?

1:39:17 It's uh, no it doesn't make it. The only sense it makes is that they're just building a story and shut up and be happy and here's some more Paris Hilton news. What's going on with Lindsay Lohan? How about the Kardashians? Ooh we now have Kim Kardashian meeting up with Holly from Holly's World. Ryan Seacrest is a genius. That's all we care about. And Mel Gibson, the latest distraction of the week. He's getting divorced or something from that? Yeah but he was yelling at his soon-to-be ex-wife and she recorded it apparently. And he used the n-word? Poor guy can't get the n-word. I don't know, I think it was because she was dressed in a way that he thought was inappropriate and he said, do you want to get raped by a gang of n-words? I'm like, okay. And she recorded that. How convenient. And I guess she gave that information or the tape to someone. You watch all these shows, you should know. I haven't followed, I only watch the shows once a week.

CHAPTER 34 / 39 Discussion

California State Worker Pay Cut to Minimum Wage

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered the California state controller to reduce the pay of 200,000 state workers to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour until a budget agreement is reached. While viewed as a saber-rattling tactic against powerful labor unions like SEIU, the move highlights the state's severe fiscal crisis.

arnold schwarzenegger· california· state workers· minimum wage· labor unions

1:40:21 And meanwhile, something amazing happening in California. And this I think is just a tip of the iceberg, a little unveiling of things to come. As many as 200,000 state workers in California could see their pay scale slash to minimum wage by the end of the month, which is $7.25 an hour, which I thought was more. I thought it was like, wasn't it like nine bucks? I think in some locations, I think some city ordinances have it higher. I think the state may be 720. So the state controller, no, so Schwarzenegger sent a letter to the state controller and ordered the department to reduce payment of all state workers to the hourly rate of $7.25 unless a budget is reached soon. That's going to be a problem.

1:41:14 Because you know I'm sure that not everyone is making 725. They're probably making quite a lot more than that. Oh yeah for sure nobody's making 725 in the state. So you're kidding? No so what is he what you know this is not good. Well there's contracts involved in this so you see actually illegal it's not going to happen. Okay so it's just a saber rattling is that what it is? I'm sure of it. It's a funny idea though, because in the olden days they would give you an IOU and then eventually you'd have to pay your old salary. This way, even with an IOU, you wouldn't get all your money. It's like a way of getting screwing you. It's pretty creative, but I don't think it's gonna... These things are all contracted. They're all members of AFSCME or SEIU or the California, there's another one, there's three unions that run the place.

CHAPTER 35 / 39 Discussion

TSA Workplace Internet Censorship Categories

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented new internet filtering rules for its employees, blocking access to several categories of websites. Prohibited content includes "controversial opinions," gaming, and chat sites, which critics argue is an attempt to prevent employees from reading criticisms of the agency's security procedures.

tsa· censorship· ministry of truth· controversial opinion· federal employees

1:42:03 More news from the Ministry of Truth. The Transportation Security Administration, TSA, is blocking certain websites from the federal agency's computers. Let me give you the list John because are we on it? Oh, yeah. Well, we're on it. Here's how the list works cat there are four five categories of websites at that as of July 1st TSA employees will no longer be allowed to access because of course, you know, the TSA employees are not always highly educated, let me just put it mildly. And they do have brains and some of them are probably starting to get clued in to wait a minute, we're like radiating people to death, we're giving them cancer, we're looking at their private parts, people hate us. So they don't want to be indoctrinated, they don't want these poor slaves with badges to be indoctrinated. So chat and messaging websites, that category of course is excluded. Criminal activity, obvious.

1:43:03 Extreme violence, including cartoon violence and gruesome content, whatever that means. Gaming, but of course the most important category, controversial opinion. I think we might fall under that category. Controversial opinion. I don't think our opinions are that controversial. Oh yeah, they might be according to the Ministry of Truth. Huh, yeah, you know I think I think we might be with some more bypass mechanisms yeah, I think we might be off the list there and See I had a couple other things here.

Glenn Beck and the Promotion of Fiction Writers

Glenn Beck is heard praising fiction writers as visionaries who are "way ahead of their time," specifically mentioning Tom Clancy. The hosts interpret this as a calculated "engram" to build credibility for Beck's own transition into fiction writing following the success of his recent novel.

1:44:02 The only people that really tell you what they honestly think about what's coming in the way of the future, and they could be wrong, are fiction writers, I think. That's why I love talking to them. They're very well informed, very intelligent, and many times way, way, way ahead of the time. Like Tom Clancy. He's always spot on. He's always got it right. Well, yeah, well here's the joke. Way, way, way, way ahead of the time, blah, blah, blah. Glenn Beck is now a fiction writer, coincidentally. Oh, okay. That makes sense. This is kind of a way of inserting a kind of an engram

Dr. David Kelly Suicide Investigation Discrepancies

New evidence published by the Daily Mail suggests that British weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly may not have committed suicide in 2003 as officially reported. Discrepancies in the coroner's report and the physical feasibility of his self-inflicted wounds have led to renewed calls for a full inquest into his death, which occurred after he challenged the government's claims about Iraqi WMDs.

1:45:24 The weapons inspector said, uh, you know what? There's no actual weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And then he suicided himself with a potato knife. And the files have been sealed for 70 years because God forbid, you know, we find out when we still care that it was actually killed. There's now all kinds of At least substantial evidence that the Daily Mail is really all over this, proving pretty much that he was too weak to have slid his own wrists after taking 29 painkillers. And also the coroner's report, which finally there was an autopsy done or at least a report was released.

1:46:07 stated that he was found dead in the field, but that doesn't mean that he actually that he died there. So they believe he probably killed himself somewhere else or was killed somewhere else. So he killed himself and then walked into the field. Yes, exactly. After on sleeping pills. Yes, exactly. With his wrists slit. Yeah, that makes sense. The Lockerbie bomber Who of course was set free by the Scottish government with some help from Scotsman Gordon Brown there. And why again was he set free John? What was the reason? Okay, it goes like this. Everybody knew and there's lots of reports done during the Lockerbie era that this guy had nothing to do with it. In fact, it was probably the Syrians or some other group and it could have been an Al Qaeda thing, who knows. Whatever the case was, there's a lot of evidence that showed that this guy had nothing to do with it.

CHAPTER 38 / 39 Discussion

Lockerbie Bomber Release and Evidence Suppression

The release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, on compassionate grounds due to terminal cancer is scrutinized following reports that he could live for another decade. The theory is presented that his release was a maneuver to prevent the public disclosure of evidence that would have proven his innocence and embarrassed the Scottish and British governments.

1:46:07 stated that he was found dead in the field, but that doesn't mean that he actually that he died there. So they believe he probably killed himself somewhere else or was killed somewhere else.

In fact, it was probably the Syrians or some other group and it could have been an Al Qaeda thing, who knows. Whatever the case was, there's a lot of evidence that showed that this guy had nothing to do with it.

1:47:02 But somebody had to take the fall because they wanted to get this thing wrapped up before too much information got out about something or other. We don't know. Whatever the case was, they were, well this guy was in jail. The powers that be that tried to defend him were accumulating data, information to prove his innocence. Apparently books, books and books worth of information that would have been very embarrassing for the government to let into the public domain. thus they had to come with the bogus issues to get him out of the country basically out of jail and when kind of whitewash the whole thing so this whatever this body of evidence was won't become again in the public domain so that's why they released him what what was the story that they used to release him? oh he had cancer he's dying and poor guy had to get home so he could die at home right well looks like according to agent France press he could live for another ten years

1:47:56 So that fits in perfectly with your real explanation. Yeah, no I'm sure the real explanation is the explanation. It's the only thing that makes any sense. But we don't know what it is, we don't have any real clue. I mean there was some evidence that it was an Al-Qaeda thing perhaps, early evidence of that, or it was a mix-up, or it could have been a lot of different things, but we don't know, and never will know because they wouldn't let this evidence I'm sure it'll come up some little crop up somewhere but the real story is out there. All we do know is that the same people who investigated the Lockerbie bombing are also suspects in pedophilia rings in

Since it ended in a tie, we are exchanging.

It says Whitman in my t-shirt. And so I advised him that in America we drink our beer cold. So he has to put this in the refrigerator before before he drinks it, but I think he will find it outstanding. And I'm happy to give that to him, although I will not drink it alone. In a brief moment between two meetings, the President was able to catch some of the U.S. World Cup soccer match against Ghana. Go, go, go, go! Go, go, go!

On Monday, June 28th, with the flag over the White House flying at half-staff for the passing of Senator Robert Byrd, the President held a series of meetings. That afternoon, he met with the winners of the 2010 Math Counts National Competition in the Oval Office.

1:54:56 I've been putting a lot of emphasis on math and science education because how well we do as a country is going to depend on how well young people like you do on math and science. Next time Malia or Versace have math homework, I'm going to call you up. Is that a deal? Alright. The President, photographer Pete Souza, and the mathletes then put their math skills to practical use. Two of you on each side. Well, we got the coach too here. Well, three on one side is good. There you go. That was a math problem. All right, come on.

The leader of the Republicans in the House, He said that financial reform was like, I'm quoting here, using a nuclear weapon to target an ant. That's what he said. He compared the financial crisis to an ant. This is the same financial crisis that led to the loss of nearly 8 million jobs. Same crisis that cost people their homes, their life savings.

1:57:15 He can't be that out of touch. On Thursday, President Obama's motorcade weaved through D.C. to American University, where he delivered remarks on comprehensive immigration reform, explaining the broken system we currently have in place and proposing a new direction. Now, stopping illegal immigration must go hand in hand with reforming our creaky system of legal immigration. Later that afternoon, the President signed the Iran sanctions bill into law, imposing the toughest set of sanctions ever put in place on Iran. In the entire world, there is only one signatory to the NPT, only one, that has been unable to convince the International Atomic Energy Agency that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. One nation, and that nation is Iran. To find out more information on any of these topics or to see complete videos of these events, go to WhiteHouse.gov.
