About this episode

A television commercial for September 11th commemorative coins has sparked outrage for marketing silver and gold recovered from the World Trade Center ruins. The United States Secret Service Uniform Division Benefit Fund licensed the product, which features a sculpture of the USS New York. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the ethics of selling Ground Zero evidence as a collector's item while the nation approaches the ninth anniversary of the attacks.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently admitted in Baghdad that the original premise for the Iraq War was invalid, despite his positive outlook on the current outcome. Meanwhile, the US Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing the construction of a for-profit railroad in Afghanistan, connecting Uzbekistan to Mazar-e Sharif. These geopolitical shifts occur as the Director of National Intelligence authorizes domestic law enforcement to utilize military spy satellites, raising significant privacy concerns among oversight groups. In the pharmaceutical sector, the FDA and DEA have approved MDMA research led by Dr. Mithoefer to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in military veterans.

Canadian Secret Intelligence Services employees reportedly walked out of a family dinner in protest after a listener played the program during the meal. The episode also features a knighthood ceremony for Sir Hugh Wilson and a breakdown of the 2010 demographic study revealing that eighty-three percent of the audience identifies as exclusively heterosexual. Adam Curry concludes by announcing the Hot Pockets Across America RV tour to visit producers nationwide.

A 21-year-old producer from Canada reports that playing the No Agenda podcast during a family dinner caused a group of guests to leave in anger. The guests were employees of the CSIS, the Canadian Secret Intelligence Services. The listener's father was reportedly furious that the podcast was "assassinating" the work performed by the intelligence agency.

csis· canadian secret intelligence services· gitmo nation· great white north· podcast reaction

09:02 Then we have... Here we go. This is a note sent in from one of our younger producers, 21 years old up in Gitmo Nation Great White North I just had to share this one with you John. I went to my parents for supper as they were hosting a meal for my dad's co-workers after everyone was settled and talking. I opened my laptop to finish your Thursday show and as I was playing it you said In the morning everyone actually stopped talking My dad asked me to shut the effing thing off Being 21, of course I decided to keep on listening. And then eventually three out of five of the couples got up and left after another ten more minutes. The remaining two couples left, my dad looked at me told me to get the hell out he's been never been this angry at me before in all my years living with my parents so something in the podcast is spooking them oh! He says where did my dad and the husbands of the couples work? Well none other than that the CSIS

10:02 Which I think is the Canadian, uh... Secret Intelligence Services. So they were listening to us like assassinating everything they do and they got all pissed off and huffy. It's just funny That is good! So I like that that's great Get those guys off Shut up slaves shut that laptop And then we have a Naggers meetup or there will be several Naggers meet up scheduled on 10.10.10 this is also in the show notes no agenda show dot com

The results of the No Agenda demographic study conducted from July to September 2010 reveal that 10% of the audience is female and the primary age bracket is 29 to 38. Data indicates that 56% of listeners followed John C. Dvorak to the show, while 17% followed Adam Curry. Sexual orientation data based on the Kinsey scale shows 83% of the audience identifies as exclusively heterosexual.

10:38 Under the links that rock and naggers of course stands for no agenda global gathering of excellent resources And this is a Google map. It's kind like a meetup thing I guess yeah, it is meetup calm actually what am I saying? I take you to a meet up meet up comm site where you can meet up with other Excellent human resources who listen to know agenda on 1010 ten and have a drink and challenge each other with your coins I did just want to mention briefly that the no agenda demographics study is out July 10th through this first week of September Have you seen the results John? It's quite interesting. No, I haven't looked at them since the we looked at the first one Okay a couple highlights ten percent of the audience is female Once all right Yeah once again We are in the sweet spot of of demographics 29 to 38 being our largest demographic but we do have

11:32 like under 1% who are between the age of 69 and 89. Most suburban, most have four years of college 35%. A couple interesting other tidbits here I have donated 40 percent say yes well that's a lie this is interesting i started listening to no agenda because uh... i was following adam curry 17 percent i was following john c dvorak 56 percent and a friend suggested it 11% other 15%. So the producers are doing quite a poor job of suggesting it to other people as people are getting just from some other place. And I think the other interesting statistic is down here at the bottom, sexual orientation which was based on the Kinsey scale exclusively heterosexual 83%,

12:35 predominantly heterosexual only incidentally homosexual a whopping 10% John. That of course is all the women, that's the temper this is the ten percent other women and one percent is exclusively homosexual who listen to this program so I think we have a great demographic I really really do and yeah but we don't need a great demographic. No it's just for us, to look at and go hey great demographic! Yeah it is and also proves that you know well I think it just... It proves that our model works Well we don't really call it a model John We actually call it a formula And its the most favorite jingle by the way according to the chart Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth

USS New York Commemorative Coins and World Trade Center Steel

A television commercial for a September 11th commemorative coin set draws criticism for selling "evidence" from Ground Zero. The coins and a sculpture of the USS New York are reportedly clad in silver recovered from the World Trade Center ruins and gold. The product is licensed by the United States Secret Service Uniform Division Benefit Fund, which the hosts find abhorrent.

13:29 So again, thanks to executive producer for this episode sir Paul Couture associate executive producers William Macy Peter Nesink and Jessica Reisterer For supporting the show. And I believe we do have a couple nights coming up later on which is always exciting and There you have it Well, where do we begin? Well there's a you know I'd like how about this. How about this since we were talking about the challenge coins I saw a commercial on television yesterday and I went through the trouble here of Hold on a second of recording a clip

14:19 Have you ever seen, or not seen probably have you ever read the Roald Dahl story Slaughter of the Lamb? No. Well you know Roald Dahl right fantastic writer who always has a little weird Roald Dahl-esque twist at the end it's about a woman who kills her husband with a leg of lamb a frozen leg of lamb And then the cops come in and she's like, oh a burglar did it. And she says I have a wonderful roast here so while you guys are investigating the crime scene would you like some roast lamb? Of course she is serving them the evidence and they eat the evidence so that she never gets caught which is kind of funny bit of story

14:59 So I see this commercial yesterday and immediately think of that story about eating the evidence, and it... This whole thing really really grossed me out. This is the USS New York built using 7.5 tons of steel salvaged from The World Trade Center Now it appears on our officially authorized 10th anniversary September 11 commemorative featuring separate sculptures of the USS New York And the World Trade Center towers, inset with jeweler precision on its obverse. Entirely clad in .999 pure silver actually recovered from beneath the ashes of Ground Zero Now watch as this historic three-piece commemorative transforms to a magnificent standing sculpture of The World Trade Center with the USS New York sailing past

15:41 The commemorative base is clad in 14 milligrams of pure 24 karat gold. Then the USS New York and the Twin Towers are clad in 14 milligrams of .999 pure silver, priceless silver recovered from ground zero. This private non-monetary commemorative will never be released for circulation." Alright so there's another minute of that I'm like this is a complete outrage they are selling the evidence The silver, which apparently can withstand jet fuel much better than steel can. This is news to me! The silver was recovered from ground zero and they melt it into coins of the USS America or whatever that is? The ship that was apparently made of the steel

16:32 Well, you know what? The silver they're selling is pretty much the... when the fire began and the people that were left in the building their fillings all melted. You're horrible! But this is actually I think it's the FBI yeah it's Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigations is selling these coins The FBI has sanctioned them. You get a triple... What's the FBI got to do with sanctioning any coinage? Well, I don't know. It is available now through this special offer for collectors only To mark the 10th anniversary of September 11 it is double dated 2001 to 2011 It is minted under exclusive license of the United States Secret Service Uniform Division Benefit Fund which They license hats too, I'm told

17:27 The ones that say FBI across the just it really irked me looking at their early. Yeah, I mean the USS New York is what it is the ship that's made of the steel The evidence is floating by There's the evidence there goes yeah, we'll never know exactly how what was wrong with us deal will be now there's the evidence Oh It's in my coin the silver It's just abhorrent is the word. Abhorrent! Totally abhorrent We need a jingle So we're uh, ABHORRENT No Maybe Jeff can do better job Um yeah but so to me that's just like eating the evidence I think it should be done to the tune of tomorrow, tomorrow Abhorrent, abhorrent Yeah thats a good one Yeah Yeah Jeff can do that for us Jeff cranked it out and he won't be flat Okayyyy Okayyyy I'm like that joke of yours Let's start with this

Paris Hilton Cocaine Arrest and Nancy Grace Coverage

Paris Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession on the Las Vegas Strip after a traffic stop involving her boyfriend. Nancy Grace featured a panel of lawyers, including Gloria Allred and Daniel Horowitz, to discuss the felony charges. Horowitz, who represents a defendant accused of burglarizing Hilton's home, argued that the celebrity was being unfairly targeted.

paris hilton· nancy grace· cocaine arrest· las vegas strip· daniel horowitz· gloria allred

18:22 I think you want to just go right at it with real news. Oh my goodness, oh you're calling me out And now, back to Real News. Okay I think i can handle it Nancy Grace did the best job of bringing down the house with the Paris Hilton story. Paris Hilton busted for cocaine this weekend on The Vegas Strip. She was riding in her boyfriend's car they were on The Vegas Strip she said yes the cash their credit cards the albuterol all in the purse were hers but not the coke Unleashed the lawyers joining us tonight out of LA high-profile lawyer Gloria all red Daniel Horowitz Spain defense attorney out of San Francisco and Carmen st. George Defense Attorney joining us out of New York wait a minute we're gonna listen to four minutes of this wait a minute okay wait stop Nancy Grace

19:24 I'm not gonna say that she would be using anything herself, but she sure sounds like she's got a cold. It never ends and by the way when she originally... That bitch, she got away with my coke. ...did time it was for violation of her probation kind of a similar situation to Lindsay Lohan in that regard now she's charged with a felony possession of a controlled substance yeah I had a whole conversation with Mickey about this last night and my recommendation is Paris Hilton needs to get a reality show If I were her manager, I'd say girl you know this is not the way to get in the news. You need a reality show! This is not gonna work

20:06 No, I agree. I think she's screwed up on this deal but what we want to listen to is the short little snippets from The Three Lawyers and then Nancy Grace goes ballistic on Horowitz as if like what is the problem? You'll see. But the problem is that I'm listening to this crap you have a point right? It's real news yes. She's in big trouble. Back to you Ellie Jostad. The judge in this case... What did he say about her bonding out? Well the issue here is that, well she was released on her own recognizance in this charge but we're hearing that the judge there does not want celebrities to think that they can come to Las Vegas and commit any kind of illegal activity. So

20:48 So we're hearing that there's not going to be any sort of plea bargain with her and that because she has had probation revoked before in the DUI case that Gloria alluded to, and she also in that case failed to attend some alcohol education classes. That could be another grounds for not giving her straight probation here. Why Daniel Horowitz? I don't see what she's done wrong. She bothered nobody and she was hurting nobody why pick on her just because she's famous look Nancy That's not what i asked you Can you just try to focus all right? in the middle of the road Daniel. Daniel stay to the script because this is supposed to distract people, this is supposed to get them ready for scram bracelets you don't have to start with your closing argument just yet I'm asking you about what Ellie Jo said just reported that last time she was behind bars for a violation of probation and she did not

21:38 complete her drug and alcohol classes last time which are considerations for the DA giving probation in this case. Yeah I know but look Nancy it's in my interest for her to have a felony conviction and be in jail, I represent somebody who is being charged with burglarizing her house when she takes the stand that will help me Oh this is the guy who's representing the millionaire burglar twats it turns out do not be the case that's what so funny are really i'm still telling you that she just an ordinary person in this respect why is there any other carly because she was a visiting that guy they're broken down to appear as if his house

22:14 Not the recent guy with the knives, just a young kid who just wanted to steal her clothing and they want to give him lots and lots of years in prison. So it's in my interest but that's not the point. I don't even wanna hear that! What did he want? Her underwear?! John tell me what is the point? It's just this vapid meaningless rattle... And Nancy Grace is nuts! How does this woman stay on the air Well, because she's doing her job. She's bringing this to the masses! People think this is important. This is prime time! First she asks a question and then says that she doesn't want to hear the answer. Ridiculous... This is what it's all about man! I just gotta tell you like this... The Paris Hilton story- we need a distraction. The Paris Hilton story is what its all about! Let's make a prediction. If the case gets thrown out

23:06 Las Vegas no, I think scram bracelet. I'm going for gitmo jewelry my prediction is a new version of Gitmo jewelry that detects coke Okay Yeah it must be something like that okay you're gonna predict jewelry yeah, and i'm gonna predict thrown out i'm writing i've been now writing down the predictions because we do so many oh yeah once you put That right next to your book try here all right next to the book Where's the book?

Miami International Airport Shutdown and Bio-Terror Scare

Miami International Airport was shut down for several hours after screeners found a suspicious package belonging to a scientist with a prior conviction for shipping bubonic plague. CNN reported the incident as a potential pipe bomb threat, though it was later cleared by the bomb squad. The hosts suggest the event was a staged "setup" to coincide with National Preparedness Month and instill fear of biological warfare.

miami international airport· bubonic plague· national preparedness month· cnn· pipe bomb· tsa

25:55 Because they don't know how to report on it yet. They haven't quite tracked it that it's all about the sports shoes big man, this would almost fall under This would almost fall under Trains good planes bad but it doesn't quite Miami International Airport shut down On what was that? Friday or Saturday I think the night on Friday to Saturday for seven hours Because and when you hear the report it's quite disturbing because it is clearly just to get us all freaked out and afraid of a bio-terror attack, this being National Preparedness Month. Screeners spotted a canister inside the luggage of a scientist that eventually turned out to be a legitimate experiment

26:47 This scientist who's 70 years old once spent time in prison nearly a decade ago for illegally shipping vials of deadly bubonic plague bacteria. Which of course a scientist does. But now listen to the report and I'll tell you what really bothers me about this. Hold on, here's CNN. CNN's American Morning. CNN everybody! The airport is open that is the good news but it was closed for about 8 hours starting at 9pm last night What happened was this screeners in the customs area found a suspicious package with, according to airport authorities multiple items that look suspicious in that package. Immediately the airport was evacuated about 100 passengers it was a slow period at that time of night at the airports so very few flights impacted but four concourses were closed down and flights that did come in had to be diverted to a couple of open concourses

27:45 As you mentioned, one man was detained. Now a source has told CNN that the man is an American and that he has a history of criminal prosecutions and incarcerations And that is what ramped up concern by local and federal authorities here we believe, and we know the man was taken into custody. We do not know if he remains in custody at this point. We do know that the bomb squad has cleared the situation it was not a threat as far as we know so again the airport is open but there were about eight tense hours here where the airport was virtually shut down okay so here's the way its reported its reported as a possible pipe bomb this is also in CNN written report and I'm thinking okay

28:31 So customs officials... Catch a guy with something that looks like a pipe bomb in his suitcase. What happened at airport security on the other end before the guy left when he put his bag on the plane? They don't screen these? I mean, you know we... When you fly internationally At LAX, I gotta stand there and wait for an hour while some jabroni TSA jerk off one by one painstakingly takes my... You know, you do not just get to check-in and put your luggage on the belt No! You've got to take your luggage to the big scanner They're not scanning the luggage anymore? No, they find it at customs. And then it's like, oh! It's bubonic plague! Oh I could have blown into bits and we'd all die of bubonic plague This is a setup Total set up to get us all worried about biological warfare How easy it is for someone to blow us all up or blow up some bubonic plague and kill us all

29:32 Either that or just out and out incompetence. No, no no not a single cop is on camera anywhere talking Not a single airport official This is bull crap this is a setup It's national preparedness month you watch You watch this will expand This will expand into oh well you know what? This is so easy for a terrorist to detonate a bubonic plague pipe bomb Just watch Hold on a second I'm gonna write this one down You're writing it down now Panic Prediction so I was trying to find a clip and I can't find it anywhere But it's all over the the news why well not CNN of course, but they all over the news wires So they had this handover of They changed from operation

Robert Gates Comments on Iraq War Validity and C-SPAN Robots

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates reportedly stated in Baghdad that the premise for the Iraq War was not valid, even if the outcome was positive. The hosts note difficulty finding the specific quote in the C-SPAN video library. They discover that C-SPAN's robots.txt file blocks most search engine crawlers from indexing their transcripts, with the exception of Google.

robert gates· operation new dawn· iraq war· c-span· robots.txt· baghdad

30:25 uh... iraqi freedom to operation new dawn and as a vice president by the was there uh... secretary of defense robert gates was there and that at uh... victory base i might add how lame are we as americans where victory base here in baghdad victory based compound And he said to reporters the following quote which I cannot find anywhere. He didn't, I looked at C-SPAN, at the C-SPAN video archive. Who is he? Robert Gates Okay. He says... The problem with this war for many Americans is that the premise on which we justified going to war proved not to be valid, he said before a ceremony in Baghdad. Even if the outcome is a good one from the standpoint of the United States it will always be clouded as to how it began." Can't find this quote anywhere! Anywhere!

31:19 And by the way, the C-SPAN video archives has a huge robots.txt file doesn't get it doesn't get indexed by anybody Something else I don't understand you know the transcripts that they have they've got who's whose what site cease the c-span Video library The C-Span video library has a robots sub yeah, yeah. Yeah huge one well That's a good find well I was irritated because I'm like how come why wouldn't you let the robots do their thing? Yeah here it is disallowed to Yoma gigabot scrubby Robozilla nudge is archiver bades bait up cider Yahoo mm crawler I mean everything Everything is being being denied

32:05 I mean, isn't that exactly the point of having transcripts? Is it can be indexed or is it just to read. Hmm interesting yeah anyway so there you go the war was not valid according to the guy who was part of the administration that declared it. The guy should resign right now he was a part of the Bush administration! It wasn't valid. Yeah but he wasn't Rumsfeld Yeah, but he was in there. He was in the administration Well I did and I have a clip for you Okay what you got for me? It's the clip Gates is the best And we're not talking about Bill

David Kilcullen on Counterinsurgency and Military Rebalancing

Author David Kilcullen discusses the future of counterinsurgency and the need for the U.S. military to rebalance between current conflicts and potential future wars with powers like China. The discussion touches on Secretary Robert Gates' efforts to manage the military-industrial complex and cost overruns from contractors like Lockheed Martin. Michelle Flournoy is also mentioned as a key senior official in the Department of Defense.

32:46 outright i want to mention that it was my little show here is uh... this is a of c-span now book uh... writer under your book dot comment they have a guy interviewing him some more lawrence uh... so c-span two wilkerson's aid some kernels the interviewing david kill colin who's apparently a consultant to the panic and everybody in between and just a man is not book writer isn't latest book counterinsurgency is out he spent a long time with very interesting said this a very long trip you want to play the beginning you stop whenever you want when it goes into gates which is right off the bat uh... but you can go back to later in the show forget board because actually got a lot of interesting intelligence stuff in it okay we are

33:31 and know how the budget is volatile, and goes up an down. And knows the Congress and so forth. Knows that military industrial complex Lockheed Martin Grumman all of guys who make F-22's and things that don't fit into this scenario We we don't believe there is enough coin there to do both To be able to maintain the fighting force that would go against say some ungodly coalition of China whatever in the future over water and oil and do not use it as water so I know I was on the way to the pause button water and oil Wow but is this Afghanistan? It's kind of about general kind of discussion is about whether or not we need to do any of this counterinsurgency fighting at all We should just in fact. It was suggested by the author when something I've always thought about is that

34:24 you do what we did with afghanistan after nine eleven which is bomb the crap on him and i deal with his bomb the crap out of whom killed everybody again that said that's part of the regime in and get out of there and as they come back go back until may be due to do the same thing and you don't don't send troops hell with it Yeah, that's a fine plan John. Let's just go bomb everybody Screw him! Nooo screw him Just bomb them Anyway he goes on with this Gates thing, keep playing Talk about what you said and don't do it Don't do the small world stuff I mean if you can't do it well and you don't need to be doing it then don't do it

35:00 What do you think about a decision like that? Because I think it's been made at the highest levels in this government. Well let me just, and I know the Secretary of Defense doesn't ever watch C-SPAN and no one from D.C. watches C-SPAN so... You know why he is listening to our show so he doesn't have too. He says I'm not going to watch C-SPAN those jerk offs with no agenda will tell me what to watch. Right! Your still employed. No well I don't work for the goverment but listen I just want to tell ya I may not get a lot of disagreement But I think that Secretary Gates is the best secretary of defense that the United States has ever had. And, I mean, I am a student of history... And I know he has other motivations. That's a great one! We should use it more often ourselves. I'm a student of history John. It validates immediately doesn't it? I should know because I'm a student of history and you have to say with an accent

35:50 You know, I'm telling you it's a we're gonna have a bio terror attack warning because i'm a student of history. I know this you can write it down. I do not think we've ever seen his like he's basically nonpartisan uh... patriot who committed in the darkest hour of iraq to help out and he's a guy who has just been very close. Was he sending over blankets? How was he helping out? And very effective in making that whole big bureaucracy work and produce stuff for the warfighter, follow the direction of now two presidents with very different views. And he's doing that and Rumsfeld tried to do and failed, Rumsfeld tried to take on the Lockheeds, the Raytheons who were not only building products that had cost overruns that run... Tried to take them on? Who is this guy?! Rumsfeld didn't try to take on anybody!

36:44 Wow believable, but bad products right and and there's only one way to take that monolith on you've got to take them all in directly So he's doing that. He so no I think he's just an awesome Secretary of Defense And I think Admiral Mullen is it's just a phenomenal chairman as well because I'm a student of history And what those guys have been talking about, and I would also add Michelle Flournoy to that mix who's the most senior woman ever in the Department of Defense. Alright so just something interesting the chat room has got... Michelle Fluoride? Is that her name? Yeah! The best part of waking up is Michelle Fluoride in my cup. The chat room has got on to the robots.txt file from C-SPAN Here's something interesting. C-SPAN is blocking everything except Google

37:29 But when I search in Google, have you ever seen a C-SPAN video transcript pop up as a result? No. There must be something going on. Have you tried to site search those sites colon cspan dot com? Nah...I'm sure the chat room will try it out and see if they can find it. Chatroom go for it! MSN is allowed but its delayed They get a delay, so Google gets priority over indexing. But Google never shows me any results... I don't search for anything else and they never show me anything! That's peculiar Well it doesn't surprise me really Should we listen to more of this student of history? Yes well a little bit The leadership team is just really solid Those guys have been talking about rebalancing

38:15 That's the term they're using saying look we have to rebalance in two different dimensions one We've got a rebalance between that wars are fighting now and the future wars We might be called upon to fight so present versus future needs to be rebalanced. I can't listen to it fuck him Actually, I I've learned something very important about Afghanistan And once again, I'm not gonna do it yet But it does fall under the under the heading anonymous writes us I've been wanting to send you a story for months, but have been reluctant to do so since i don't have any documentation to back it up. But I have some information from a civilian working for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers

CHAPTER 13 / 36 Discussion

US Army Corps of Engineers Building Railroads in Afghanistan

The US Army Corps of Engineers is reportedly involved in building a for-profit railroad in Afghanistan. Projects include a 50-mile link from Uzbekistan to Mazar-e Sharif and technical studies for a 200-kilometer line connecting Afghanistan to Pakistan. The hosts speculate the infrastructure is intended to transport gemstones, gold, or opium out of the country.

38:55 The US Army is building a brand new railroad in this, what this person calls a mountainous foreign country. He said he couldn't say where it is but I could probably guess What was most interesting he said this was going to be for-profit railroad operation It would be from the border of the country into the interior of the country and of course this is very interesting that uh... the U.S armed forces are building a for profit railway So then you go do a little Google search. Afghanistan to build 200 kilometer railway, this is from the 8th of July Officials in the Ministry of Public Works say they have started the technical studies over 200 kilometer long railway connecting Afghanistan with Pakistan Next one, Afghanistan finally gets its first railroad This is from June 4th Construction has begun on the first real railroad in Afghanistan's history

39:52 A 50-mile link from neighboring Uzbekistan to the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif should be finished by September. And then just a whole bunch of these, including Kenneth L. Bird who is... Is he from Canada? Where's he from? Where's Sedalia? That's Canadia? I don't know. I'll look it up anyone who has seen the videos and photos coming from Afghanistan over the past nine years will no doubt feel that bringing that country from its current 14th century Okay, from its current 14th century status into the 21st century is an impossible goal Culturally the country as a collection of ancient tribes loosely wedded by the traditions of fundamental Islam This is a whole story about how we need to build a railroad And what is going on?

40:44 Why are we building? Obviously need to move something from point A to point B. I think gemstones Isn't isn't that it gold gemstones has got to be something in them hills Because I'm sure it's moving it out and not in. Oh, yes moving it out Definitely moving it out but we're building that yeah unofficial report uncorroborated But we have lots of servicemen and women listening so if you know about it Let us know I just thought that this will be just what our army does now Yeah We build stuff for other people protect poppies as we can ship stuff out It's just amazing to me

CHAPTER 14 / 36 Discussion

Barack Obama Labor Day Speech and High-Speed Rail Jobs

President Barack Obama delivered a Labor Day speech emphasizing the need to rebuild the middle class and invest in infrastructure. He claimed that investments in roads, bridges, and high-speed railroads would create hundreds of thousands of private-sector jobs. The hosts critique the visual quality of the address, noting apparent chroma key artifacts around the President's ear.

barack obama· labor day· high-speed rail· job creation· chroma key· middle class

41:21 Maybe it's for the, maybe the heroin business is so big now that they need to train to get it out of there. The president was propagating the train meme in his presidential address which by the way he's back on the chroma key John He's, I guess he couldn't make it to the White House. He had do it in the studio and that is really funny because his right ear is shiny and then the background starts to get keyed on his ear It's a little annoying And then on the close-ups his right eye looks like bloodshot It doesn't take that much work to get that right Apparently they can't get it right Long before this recession The values of hard work and responsibility That built this country

42:04 had been given short shrift. This is his Labor Day speech. For a decade, middle class families felt the sting of stagnant incomes and declining economic security. Companies were rewarded with tax breaks for creating jobs overseas Is that true? Did we get tax bre- were companies rewarded for doing that? Yeah Okay Wall Street firms turned huge profits by taking in some cases reckless risks and cutting corners All of this came at the expense of working Americans who were fighting harder and harder just to stay afloat, often borrowing against inflated home values to pay their bills. Ultimately that house of cards collapsed So this Labor Day we should recommit ourselves to our time-honored values and to this fundamental truth To heal our economy We need more than a healthy stock market We need bustling main streets And a growing thriving middle class

42:59 That's why I'll keep working day by day to restore opportunity, economic security and that basic American dream for our families and future generations. First that means doing everything we can to accelerate job creation The steps we've taken to date have stopped the bleeding Investments in roads and bridges and high speed railroads will lead to hundreds of thousands jobs in the private sector Yay! Hundreds of thousands of jobs. It's amazing! Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs! Let's vote! Hundreds of thousands of jobs by building high-speed rail. It rocks... it totally rocks

CHAPTER 15 / 36 Discussion

Warren Buffett and BNSF Railway Maintenance Standards

The BNSF Railway, recently acquired by Warren Buffett, is criticized for the rusty and unwashed appearance of its locomotives. The hosts compare this to historical pride in refinery maintenance and speculate that the railway is neglecting current equipment in anticipation of high-speed rail upgrades. They suggest new rail specs for double-decker cars are designed to accommodate large freight containers.

warren buffett· bnsf· burlington northern santa fe· high-speed rail· freight transport· double-decker trains

43:48 You know, I was looking at the train going past the tracks down the bottom of the hill. And you know one thing...I thought about this for a while but then i decided that maybe uh... I'm not thinking about it right. In fact, the train's gone by now So um... The Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the BNSF which is the uh... That's the Warren Buffett just purchased that this year. Most of it uh... i've always you know we remember the old santa fe's and they used to show the things is chrome in beautiful look hot yeah shiny and there are painted their gorgeous we go down the railroad track just a watch it go by

44:28 And these things, these engines that BNSF have look like they've never been washed. They're rusty and they look like crap! I'm thinking this operation has no pride uh... they have no pride whatsoever i'm always reminded of the two and when I worked in the oil refinery game union oil had that has this refinery over rodeo which is got the dead not so did not zone by democrats basically sold to some conglomerates different company now but dad that in those days are very proud of their refinery made paint everything and they used a painty oil tanks different colors or pink and blue there all pastels as very weird drive

45:11 pass them on the freeway. And Standard Oil over here in Richmond had let their, they just let their tanks rust! They didn't paint them ever and I talked to the refinery guys about this and one of them said well...they did a calculation it turns out that if you always maintain the tanks and paint em' its cost X amount of money over x amount time And if you don't paint them and just let them rust, and you have to rebuild them over and over again. It turns out they're a wash in terms of what it costs you. So one company decided to just the hell with it we'll just let em rust but didn't show any pride and came up with this very unique solution Standard Oil instead of putting up a new tank painted white They put up a new tank and painted it rust colored

45:59 Which was genius. Anyway, so I always assumed that there was some lack of pride with BNSF but now that this high speed rail thing is going on here's what i'm now thinking they're not gonna bother they're gonna let these things rust away because they don't care because once high-speed rail is in they gotta get new ones up with those engines yep yeah those new slick fast engines are going to get them all and they're gonna be looking good and they can be using those high-speed tracks the move freight and will be a sponsored by our tax dollars yet the whole thing will be paid for by that u s government makes a lot of sense makes a lot of sense i'd actually had a uh... i think i have a note here about that

46:39 Guess I can't find it the the actual detail they want double deckers So the the specs for the United States high-speed rail train why well because you need to be able to transport coffins Because the new cargo containers, this new ship containers they get they stack them one on top of another and they want to be as tall as possible so that if they build for double decker passengers then you can use it'll be big enough to carry the freight. Right! You could do two...you can do full sea containers Yeah Oh right makes sense Hey I figured it out I figured out the Paris Hilton thing It just took me a moment to connect the dots I've got it When was she arrested on this charge? Just at the very end of last month

CHAPTER 16 / 36 Discussion

National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month Proclamation

President Obama proclaimed September 2010 as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. The hosts link the timing of this proclamation to the high-profile arrest of Paris Hilton for cocaine possession. They argue the celebrity arrest serves as a propaganda tool to raise awareness for drug monitoring technology and recovery initiatives.

barack obama· whitehouse.gov· addiction recovery month· paris hilton· propaganda· gitmo jewelry

47:20 Now, Whitehouse.gov August 31st 2010 Each day brings new opportunities for personal growth renewal and transformation to millions of Americans who have chosen to forge a path toward recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol blah blah blah blah blah Therefore I Barack Obama President the United States America by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution blah blah blah Hereby do proclaim September 2010 as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month There it is We needed to make people aware. And who better? Of the Gitmo jewelry! This is, at the time... I mean you can't deny the timing of it No It's perfect Get it into the public with Paris Hilton get her with some coke charge and then prepare everyone for the bracelets Perfect Perfect timing

48:16 Well, that's depressing. No it's not! It's just nice to know these things this is what we do our job is to help people understand the propaganda that passes for news that's all it's not that hard I gotta before we go to our thank yous I do have a propaganda piece that I want everyone to mull over for awhile uh... this was a p- as soon as they saw this piece says this is bull crap it's a human interest story that was obviously packaged by somebody because and is not even well done at the packager uh... you know which is like a video press release uh... has a bit the guy doing the voice is he can barely be isn't not even professional in his end is open to this presentation but the package ran on the local news site uh... k p i x um... and it's about a little boy of who who came up with this great idea to help the soldiers focal and uh...

CHAPTER 17 / 36 Discussion

Jack's Snack Packs for Troops and PR Video Packages

A human interest story about a seven-year-old boy named Jack organizing "snack packs" for troops in Afghanistan is identified as a likely pre-packaged PR campaign. The report, aired by Alan Sanchez on Good Day Sacramento, features the child in military-style clothing. The hosts suggest the story is a "feel-good" setup designed to promote specific brands like Slim Jim and Gatorade.

snack packs· alan sanchez· sacramento· modesto· military support· video press release

49:10 By buying a pack of coffee at Pete's? Essentially by putting together snack packs and the whole thing is just so much bullcrap that you know I mean to make anyone think that this could actually have occurred some little boy went up to his mom says, Mom I want to send every soldier in Afghanistan a snack pack. Oh wow, let me call the newspaper and we can make a big deal. You know this whole thing is some sort of set up but I'm not absolutely sure what unless it's just to promote the name Snack Pack which i think is a trademark of some craft or one of these food companies But the whole thing...I'd like people to mull this one over but its definite piece of human interest propaganda I don't even think that well done but it is pretty funny

49:58 Finally tonight, a community-wide effort underway in Sacramento to say thank you to our troops. The idea is to send snack packs to give them a taste of home. The brain behind the effort? A kid named Jack! Alan Sanchez introduces us to this very thoughtful little boy A few dozen people came out to the Waterloo restaurant today to help out seven-year old Jack with his cause to send troops overseas some snack packs. I just want the troops, like feel better have them have a little taste from home. Jack's passion for the snack packs for the troops is contagious or... Wait a minute! Well i'm sorry it's a snack pack website so wait a minute did you hear what this kid said? Yeah

50:44 Yeah, they give him a taste from home. Right? Poor kid. They forced the script into his brain. What? Here's the other thing this package has done so poorly that this Sanchez whoever this guy is doing the voiceover and then doing the report he's over modulated and it's like distorted. I'm going to get a little taste from home Jack's passion for the snack packs for the troops is contagious. Organizers are overwhelmed with support I just think it's amazing and the support that people continuously give you know knowing that there are men and women over their mothers of other sisters and brothers that are over there every day

51:27 I'm saying the Jack snack pack. There's cookies, there's hand sanitizers, there's peanuts, there's gum but it's the message that they're really trying to send over to troops that's most important. That they know that people back home are thinking about them and we care about him and that we know that their over there and not forgotten One thank you letter that Jack received says it all The sergeant said that when I gave my troops their snack packs, their eyes lit up like it was Christmas. Well the community says it plans on more snack drives in the future Yeah, you know why it's overmodulated? Because this is indeed one of those PR packages that's produced. They send it out and they have their local guy do the voiceover And of course, y'know...they're so not used to actually producing anything That they couldn't get the levels right Let's see, Snack Pack News & Promotions Let's see if I've got it Sorry Not currently running any promotions Hmm Interesting

52:27 So there's something up with this snack pack website. It's not a lot of racket does it's clearly not the right one I'm now curious about this yeah i am too because it was just out of the blue, it was a bogus story anyway could I think anybody listens to this show more than two or three times can spot these things now and it's human interest, that's a feel-good story because of the little kids involved. Oh yeah! Who is cute by the way of course. Hold on a second here... Jack Snackpacks wait a minute oh because his name is jack always they got him wearing a little uniform now. I didn't see this give me the little

53:13 And he's saluting oh my god This is to get the kids used to being in the military, right? Here's the link for you. Oh my goodness this is horrendous Let's see Jack snack powers he starts singing to his cousin oh Okay got gum Slim Jim's microwave popcorn Gatorade Nice and from it here is from Modesto in the other story. He was from Sacramento Yeah, by the way because I guarantee you I guarantee you John I Guarantee you if our producers will keep their eyes peeled You'll find like a young pencil boy young Pennsylvania boy Decide to put together snack packs you watch everyone They're gonna have a different kid in all these different kind of are in every different state with a snack pack

54:06 Yeah, now see they had a big meeting outside the Save Mart in Modesto. He's got a Facebook page I can assure you that Modesto is not walking distance from Sacramento Let's see and he's also apparently did a fundraiser at 14th an Isidore in Manteca Kids on a tour! Kids on a tour? He has to have a t-shirt Doesn't he have to go to school Well in about a week he does. We obviously support our servicemen and women on their misguided mission but holy moly this is just sick Allen Sanchez From Good Day Sacramento will be broadcasting live. Another kid's wearing camo in this report done out of this other station. Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. This is bogus. There's something behind it I mean there has to be some more bigger payoff than just you know feel good story there has gotta be somebody benefiting. Well Slim Jim and Gatorade and gum

CHAPTER 18 / 36 Discussion

Howard Stern Internet Subscription Rumors and Digital Value

Rumors that Howard Stern may move to an internet subscription model are met with skepticism regarding the perceived value of digital content. Referencing the book "Fortune's Fool" about Edgar Bronfman Jr., the hosts argue that consumers struggle to assign high monetary value to intangible digital goods compared to physical objects. They contrast this with the No Agenda "value-for-value" model based on volunteerism and symbiotic listener support.

howard stern· internet subscription· music industry· edgar bronfman jr· digital value· app store

55:05 Slim Jim's. Yeah, slim Jim's snack bar. And microwave popcorn that's good for you Nice and healthy I wonder maybe it's one company that makes it who knows? We'll see so an article that was emailed to us a lot as we kind of get into our donations here I know irked you to no end about the possibility of Howard Stern going on the internet And I would just like to say something here. I think that if he does that and the, you know... He's kind of taking an idea that I put into his ear although i'm sure it wasn't exclusively me because in fact I didn't say do subscriptions on the internet. I didn't say that. I said I think that you could do it. Um..I think that if he moves to the internet and decides to charge for subscriptions it will fail

55:55 And here's why. This is something very interesting that I kind of an epiphany, after reading...I finished this book yesterday called Fortune's Fool which i think have talked about in the show before it's about Edgar Bronfman Jr., the heir to the Seagrams fortune who basically sold off all the booze and bought into the music business. Entertainment business, but primarily the music business And so the story which is it has a million footnotes It's really well researched So I think the numbers are pretty accurate as accurate they can ever be in the music industry But you see that essentially the music industry is just gone. It's dead There's no more albums being sold and then it hit me last night. People are willing if you give

56:42 a piece of plastic, a round disc to someone and say hey this is 40 bucks It's something people can hold in their hands and they go like, yeah okay that's 40 bucks I get it. That's worth it If you give someone a Monet which is let's face it just like some mud on canvas and say its $1 million dollars and someone holds it in his hands Wow! Yeah thats a million dollars You give someone 100 dollar bill which is nothing more than a piece of paper with the number printed on it and signature And people can hold it in their hand like yeah its valuable But when you distribute through the internet It has no value. People don't assign a value to it, this is like apps I see millionaires looking at the app store going Oh man $1.99 for that app? That's kind of expensive! I don't think i want to spend that much money on an app

57:27 So it's anything that is true, I kid you not. It is true, its funny. Well most people they don't even want to spend a nickel for an app they want them all free because there has no inherent value so the only way to create value online is with what we're doing make sure belongs to everybody everybody does something to support One of the ways, of course is Paul Couture who actually sends out something physical. I mean is this coin really worth $33 and 33 cents? No! What it is made of nickel? I don't know what it is... In fact you can get the silver from the Twin Towers cheaper

58:05 But it has a value when you're holding it in your hands and then we're delivering an experience which is very valuable to people. Music has been around for a million years, but the ability to understand media, to have your eyes open, to be able to assassinate what is happening, to enrich your life that is something of value that we are transferring through the internet It's the only way to do it! If you start charging people for it by subscription and trying to lock down the distribution...it just doesn't work Now it's not working that great for us yet, but I think we're on to something. Because people are supporting the show. uh... because people i mean we don't have you know if somebody just took a look at the no agenda system uh... out of the blue from scratch and they saw all the websites that that support this show and couture's operation and inside all the other people that have to do with it for tours listed a lot of these sites but it looks like word besides even though there is no uh... common look or looking field not at all

59:10 at all. Not at all, but couture by the way who does this kind of design work might actually force people to use a you know like common look at least for some of the stuff it's not even important in fact of the matter is it looks like a big operation and in fact it is but its all volunteerism yep and and and and kinda reverse support instead of us paying for somebody put up a website they put up a website and pay us uh... yeah which is because we don't have any other means of support it were essentially is kind of a that's it's almost like like and you know you have a its did or what's the call in the doing a when plants and fungus live together some i can remember their symbiotic tasty

CHAPTER 19 / 36 Discussion

No Agenda Donation Segment and Listener Feedback

The hosts read a list of donors, including Sir John Snyder and Glenn Jansen, and share a note from Vivian Hingsberg regarding her husband's long commute. A listener named Brad Ledin criticizes NPR for its "underwriters," noting a correlation between an REI advertisement and a subsequent story on camping gear. The segment highlights the global reach of the audience, from Chicago to London.

59:50 So we have a symbiotic relationship with our listeners and that's one of the reasons that we do ask for their support. And we do give credit where this due, let's name a few people who gave us some money this week including John Snyder Sir John Snyder as matter fact out of Chicago $92 Glenn Jansen from says feet to FITOU which is actually a wine growing area it says feet to NY France so I guess its Get More Nation Stinky Cheese i think so must be but that's a very nice of that wine uh... has really there is a very good uh... wind to have very expensive tasty barbecue one fighting all you sixty-six forty four which is probably some translation of some money euros of vivian hangs burger in burlington ontario uh... double nickels on the dime she says uh...

She also wants to give me the donation, payback for the karma from my last donations I recently left my good job paying with a horrible commute for a lower-paying job that allows me to work from home so even though the money will be tight only my husband will continue The brutal three hours a day commute Wow! Three hours? This is through the show. Three hours a day Well think about it we deliver three hours of daily source code a week So that's one day And we deliver four hours of no agenda, so that's two... He could probably stretch it out. You know? So we're probably helping him through three days of the week but only one way. Only one way. That sucks! I mean we essentially do four hours a week and we assume that people probably commute about four hours total a week because our show is pretty much designed for people who are stuck in their cars

1:01:38 In fact, we have people that have complained because they now have a shorter commute and they can't listen to the whole show. uh... which is by the way john i'd love to hear more about your decision to home school used to be completely opposed to but my feelings in their changing baby can talk more about the next time you guys do special edition type show thanks for all you do so we don't have to and that's vivian like i think i can answer that for you just look at look at his kids uh... vivian there in the best colleges uh... did your son is designing microchips hello Your daughter is going to one of the top universities in the land?

Portugal Pedophile Ring Convictions and Pentagon Cover-up Claims

A major trial in Portugal concluded with the conviction of seven individuals, including a former ambassador and a celebrity, for running a pedophile ring at a state-run orphanage. Carlos Silvino, a former driver, confessed to over 600 crimes. The hosts suggest that a recent story about the Pentagon declining to investigate child pornography purchases by employees is a distraction from the scale of the Portuguese scandal.

1:11:50 We do pick up a lot of you have a lot of $10, $15 donations that come and go. And we do have a lot of subscribers or not a lot. Yeah the five dollar a month. Five dollars a month but they keep dropping off as they come on because of the nature of that whole thing uh... but we we've appreciate all these people every one of them if you get your and your paypal account don't go to dinner once a week there's all kinds of ways you can come up with the some money for or or do it do is snack pack drive for the show statistics that did you anything distraction really

1:12:32 So I think i found the don't look over here, look over there moment. Everyone emailed the Pentagon declined to investigate hundreds of purchases of child pornography. So everyone emailed this story like all these bastards and essentially what the Department Defense said at the Pentagon is we just didn't have enough resources, literally human resources to investigate the was it 264 individuals who were downloading porn now first of all I'm not against porn And this is a day. There is no mention of child pornography that I can see

1:13:11 uh... then i think a part of the workplace can be quite healthy in certain cases i do not advocate that because you may have different rules at your workplace but i believe this is a cover-up john and this is note no coincidence that this is now all of us on this freedom information act is out there are now we know how those bastards they're downloading porn on our dime on our time arm porn porn porn because what has happened in uh... get my nation cork known as portugal This is the real news that you don't have and of course I only received one link to this story Six-year trial Portugal's high society pedophile ring rolled up. Did you know about this? Nope, I didn't read anything about it So this was a pedophile ring which included a former ambassador a prominent television celebrity thousands of orphans

1:14:10 who were literally used in this orphanage as a shop, I tell you for these pedophiles to go and shop for kids finally convicted or at least found guilty. They have not been convicted yet but there were thousands and thousands of pages of testimony. What's the total number here? I believe it was 800 witnesses and experts gave evidence 4500 people Since 1998 through 2003 involved 639 crimes confessed, confessed by one of these pedophiles. Let me just give you that number again. 639 crimes confessed by just one

1:15:03 And so it finally came to a halt, but of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. And again there it is show business its business Its government and its Portugal what else did we have in Portugal? A couple years back John which I'm sure will come back on the radar port Madeline McCann remember little Maddie No, I don't. Yeah this is the British girl who went missing Oh right! Dude this is a hotbed Portugal yeah drugs may be legal but oh man So here's the AP report, seven people convicted of child sex abuse in Portugal on Friday. Major trial lasted nearly six years shocked the country. The six men and one woman were found guilty of crimes including sexually abusing minors and adolescents raping children running a pedophile ring at a state-run children's hospital in Lisbon during the 90s and early 2000s

1:15:56 The woman whose house was used by the ring was not given a custodial sentence because of a 2007 change in the law, no mention what the change is but of course since the law is involved. And this also includes the 53-year old former driver of the children's home Carlos Silvino who confessed to those more than 600 crimes and gave evidence against other defendants I guarantee you that this is just the tip of the iceberg and this news which came out yesterday or the day before yesterday, is meant to be covered up by this Pentagon story because of course we have pedophiles all over the justice system and in the highest levels of government. And the other hotbed is Gitmo Nation lowlands

Craigslist Shuts Down Adult Services Section

Craigslist has removed its "Adult Services" section following pressure from law enforcement and advocacy groups. The hosts argue this will not stop prostitution but will instead push it into other sections of the site or onto platforms like Twitter. They suggest that legal red-light districts or specific ".xxx" domains would be a more effective way to manage the industry.

craigslist· adult services· prostitution· twitter· eros· red light district

1:16:43 So, Pedo Bear still rules but a small minor victory although it's going to be covered up. You know I haven't heard about this one on the news anywhere have you John? No they don't cover anything like that no the big news is that you can't get a hooker on Craigslist anymore This is the most ridiculous story ever It makes no sense Not only that, but it's an inconvenience. This is why I promoted the idea for years at least since the early days of the internet of getting a .xxx domain name

1:17:26 and i think that's why the red light districts exist you want to push the hooker there's going to be a hookers all yet still legal the hooker should be over where hookers go they should be violent in a little bit of room yeah in hooverville and you take their here is it close hooker bill and they start gravitating all over the place so now you'll be looking up Buying a used refrigerator, and you're gonna get some hooker. That's gonna have an ad Oh refrigerator And by the way refrigerate 40 roses you can you know no? No this is what the ad will be Over here get your hot pockets everybody so they're gonna be all over the place they should have left How do you know about these forty roses oh

1:18:11 This is true, this is what hookers use. Yeah 40 roses by the way give me the address of the forty roses that's cheap So anyway, the hookers have been pushed into the... now they're going to be floating around in the mainstream part of their website. You know where you looking up for cars? It's gonna impact kids children think of the children! Yeah and I don't know yeah no idea absolutely right and of course there are still plenty of hookers available on Twitter Oh really? Yeah, well what Twitter does they have these... What's the hash code. If you search for I think Eros e-r-o-s you can subscribe to a feed and this feed essentially whenever one of these hooker websites updates which is just escort websites then you get the latest four postings in your Twitter feed

1:19:09 Then they got pictures and everything. Really? Yeah, oh yeah! Who knew?! Ladies and gentlemen everybody learned something from this show now you I know we have a lot of men listeners You learned something very valuable there Dvorak org slash NA channel Dvorak dot com slash NA And...I think we should start asking if we should start talking about our donations in roses Thank you for the double roses on the on the bud Maybe that's the way to do it. So you want to go to the big news story?

UFO and Ghost Sightings Reported in UK and Canada

The Telegraph reports a surge in emergency calls to 999 regarding UFOs and ghosts, including a sighting of the ghost of actor Paul Newman. In Shrewsbury, a video journalist for the Shropshire Star filmed an orange, hexagonal light floating in the sky. While some suggest these are Chinese lanterns, the hosts believe the sightings are becoming more frequent and deserve serious investigation.

1:19:54 Go ahead, because it's your story. Residents phone 999... Phone 999 dozens of times over ghosts and UFO worries Apparently there has been an invasion of UFOs around the world I think it's mass hysteria of course, but whatever. And the one... let me just read from the Telegraph.co.uk, the Telegraph newspaper. Worried residents phone 999 to report sighting of ghosts and UFOs including a man who claimed to have seen the spirit of actor Paul Newman! Yeah man, that shit ain't funny. That's true. Officers say one emergency call came from a man who rang police claiming to have seen the ghost of two old ladies in a white Fiesta

1:20:40 on a dual carriageway. Other worried calls came from people spotted ghosts or poltergeists on CCTV cameras and another said he's seen a ghost which could make me a million quid." Dozens more calls are coming in, and there is story after story all over the place apparently BC Canada is another place where these sightings occur all at once. Well I'm looking at this UFO over Shrewsbury? Oh well we have some video here John! It's a bulletin Hello, welcome to today's news bulletin from the Shropshire Star Headquarters here at Ketley in Telford. Thank you for joining us My name is Andy Richardson and our lead story tonight

1:21:17 Shropshire-style video journalist James Shaw had a shock when he spotted a UFO. Wow! James saw strange lights above the streets of Shrewsbury and dashed to the scene. He'd been returning from Shrewsbury town's clash with Coventry City when he spotted the lights over the Otley Road area, he managed to film this bright orange shape which appeared to float around 70 feet in the air for a few minutes before disappearing It's like a hexagon uh...this particular craft This is what Ironman James had to say. This is what you always ask, James. How come there's no good... this is good video! Have you seen this? Yeah. This is a good looking video. Close encounter with the UFO last night

Spy Satellites Authorized for US Domestic Law Enforcement

The Director of National Intelligence has authorized the use of military spy satellites by domestic law enforcement and civilian agencies. While officials claim the satellites cannot see faces or listen to conversations, privacy groups express concern over the lack of oversight. The hosts speculate that many "UFO" sightings are actually Predator drones or other surveillance craft being deployed over American cities.

spy satellites· homeland security· domestic surveillance· predator drones· biometric data· goodyear blimp

1:22:40 First there were eyes on the street and now there are eyes in the skies. The director of national intelligence has given the go-ahead for the nation's spy satellites to be used regularly by US civilian agencies and law enforcement This is a development all Americans should have great pride in because it expands Are you proud John? Oh, I'm so proud. So proud of this we are so advanced. I'm so proud a national technical systems which we've built for tens of billions of dollars over many decades. Spy satellites have primarily been used overseas to monitor things like war zones and terror training camps they've also been used domestically but look at hookers sparingly during events including Super Bowl games presidential inaugurals and hurricanes

1:23:25 Homeland Security officials say the satellites will now be used to protect borders and critical infrastructure. Which includes ports, and looking at potential vulnerabilities and threats as well as consequences of attacks Next in line law enforcement agencies which are What did he say? Consequences of what, of attacks? Yeah that's what he said. No, consequences of attacks. Next in line law enforcement agencies which are expected to start using them next year while they can provide crucial high-resolution images there are limits to what these satellites can do they can't see faces and they can't listen right

1:24:00 They can't see faces. Now this is the whole system, see the setup is you go through the airport scan right? They get all your biometric data and now they're blatantly coming out and telling us now we're using the satellites to spy on you and they don't need to see your face because they've got your biometric profile it's...it all fits together! It's so simple local law enforcement but the sheriff can make a call now hey Hey, I got a check in on that guy's backyard. We've got to see what is going on. I can't see his face though! I can't listen!" At least thats what the government claims But privacy groups worry that because there is so much we don't know about their capabilities they could be misused and we wouldn't even know it The question always comes down too What are the standards? Are there checks and balances And is this a power that we would trust the executive branch to use

1:24:52 without any outside scrutiny or oversight or control. You know, if you have nothing to hide John then we have nothing to be worried about right? Right? Yeah, just had a murder of crows go over the house. Homeland Security officials insist that they are subject to a great amount of oversight and review but in many ways this is just one more case of the government figuring it out as it goes...in The War on Terror. No! The war on terror! CNN. Oh, It's The War on Terror. So here's what I think these UFOs are which are all over the place. Predators. Predator drones very possible very possible

1:25:29 Think that's a that could be at their low if they're if they're flying down at 70 feet, but it was so hard to To guesstimate height when you look enough. Yes is Miss sized yeah, it's almost impossible You know it's like judging a 747 speed and you know when you see it looks like it's going two miles an hour but the drones are small and there's all these new devices that they've developed that are drone-like done by all these other companies, private companies. And they're selling those to law enforcement and a lot of them have lights on them and it has all kinds of possibilities here but there is no doubt about it we're going to be surrounded I mean this is gonna get more nation surveillance

1:26:12 Particularly in the United States and it's really it's bad, but they're just coming out and saying it. Just so you know what oh well you know hey we're not gonna look at your face You should be proud yeah We're not gonna look at your face just your penis don't worry about that were not interested in you and you know the word pedobear I always wonder about that blimp, the Goodyear blimp that flies around LA here. Why does that thing fly? Is that like you're telling me that's a good commercial for Goodyear? Like have you ever bought tires and thought oh man blimped tires has it ever worked for you? No so what are they doing with that blimp? You see when they do you got the one that lights up just got the message well that i can understand but still doesn't seem like yeah I don't know that floats around during the day here all the time just floating around

CBN Reports on Islamization of Paris and Street Prayers

The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) aired a report featuring "hidden camera" footage of Muslim worshippers blocking streets in Paris for Friday prayers. The report claims the French government is giving Islam privileged status despite the burqa ban. The hosts note that local Parisians have responded by holding "pork and wine" festivals in the same neighborhoods to protest the disruption of foot traffic.

cbn· christian broadcasting network· paris· muslim prayer· burqa ban· hidden camera

1:26:55 It's like, you can't fit a whole bunch of people in there. It's not like a great tourist attraction So what are they doing on that thing? Everyone is like, hey it's the blimp! Meanwhile... Hey, Kitmo Nation Stinky Cheese. There's a nice propaganda piece that I found from Dale Hurd who now exclusively reports... This is like an old-school guy total ministry of truth in fact he is from a ministry He now exclusively reports on the war on terror and he does that for CBN John are you familiar with CBN? Christian broadcasting network? Yes, the Christian Broadcasting Network. And they have such a lying sack of shit piece that I wonder if the actual subject of the piece is true or not so they're gonna talk about this guy who has an alias called Maxime Lepant and he bought an undercover camera to film this on the streets of Paris

1:27:51 And the undercover camera consists of a high-definition camera with the sides blurred out to make it look like it's undercover, which is clearly done in the package itself. If you go to YouTube, Maxime LePant's channel he has not a single video uploaded only other videos from other people so that's a lie But listen to a bit of this piece because what is actually going on may be disturbing but it's certainly taking into account that it's the Christian Broadcasting Network. I think it's a big propaganda piece, but interesting since we do have a couple of producers in Gitmo Nation Stinky Cheese maybe they can give us some of the truth This is a Friday in Paris, filmed by hidden camera. The streets are blocked by huge crowd of Muslim worshippers and it's enforced by private security. This is all illegal in France the public worship the block streets and the private security but the police have been ordered not to intervene It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa other parts of the French government continue to give Islam privileged status

1:28:55 An ordinary French citizen who was watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. So he bought a hidden camera and started posting videos on YouTube. I think you can get that on Craigslist, Hidden Camera for Sale And literally they have just blurred out the sides of this 16x9 so it looks kind of hidden Yeah their videos apparently there were some So there was some controversy over somebody wanting to put a mosque someplace and so they, there's a whole neighborhood of Muslims that decided to basically shut down the streets six times a day during prayer. Oh! That is not mentioned in this story at all? They're just saying it is happening everywhere, Muslims are just taking over streets and putting down their mats and praying

1:29:47 Yeah, well they are in that one area. And this has been documented to an extreme by people without hidden cameras. I know there's tons of photographers walking around. You don't need a hidden camera if you're in the area and you got your video camera you can film the whole thing nobody cares it's not like a big secret let's put it that way but the punchline of the story is that Parisians are fighting against this Islamization of Paris and they're doing that by holding pork and wine meeting on the street. There's some truth to it, I understand that is true too. They have been in the same neighborhood as a bunch of shops you know then these guys are irked by the fact that foot traffic is just annoying. You can't get cars through there so they've been having a lot of pork festivals

1:30:37 This can't end well. No, no it's going to be a riot of some sort but you know this France I mean this kind of thing goes on It's gonna end in tears and you know and this is the country that wants to ban the burqa And i think alot of those scarves and burqas are sexy Yeah, you probably would. I do like because you know that they're wearing all kinds of hot stuff underneath. Yes what you? Know this for a fact so I ran into a new shanty commercial Oh luckily they're back two whole minutes Okay, so Shantix ladies and gentlemen who are new to the program is a drug that should be outlawed but yet has been just passed right on through by the FDA.

It is effective You will stop smoking however you will also wake up naked in a garden unbeknownst of an unbeknownst location to you If your Mel Gibson, you will probably go crazy on the phone and drive off the road and many people have been known to commit suicide and or be killed while on shantix now here's the question you know we have a number of listeners who gave us a personal anecdotes in you have one of course does mickey had tried the drug yeah uh... but we had a number of listeners that sent his notes about this stuff and uh... i why never thought about this before but i think i'm gonna just put this out has anybody who live who normally listens are sure every use shantix with good results i hear crickets

1:32:15 Anyway, here's the new shantyx commercial. Now the difference between this one is you've got a different woman telling her tale but all along unfortunately we can't do this on the radio which is there's a bunch of these messages written out shantyx and it stops does the there's a bunch of we wish you don't get to see but you get the gist of the whole commercial now this is a double by because typically they have a minute which forty five seconds is all the good stuff which actually makes you buy it which is the disclaimer yeah uh... the anal leakage uh... weird dreams Don't make sure you're okay before driving or operating heavy machinery. Make sure you know the effects of Shandix and, of course all the while we know that was it 32% or 37% of people who took the placebo had the same results and actually stopped smoking when Shandix was tried? Yeah they have a number I think it's 44%. It's affected on 44%, but 18 of those

1:33:08 percentages were first who could get a little bit of smoke with the placebo so basically the effectiveness is about thirty percent net which isn't blousey Yeah, all right. So this is now a two-minute commercial so they've upped the ante there It's a fight John we're fighting against them and and it looks like they're winning Exactly my name is Lisa I smoked for 29 years The one thing about Smoking as it dominates your life in it dominated mine honestly loved smoking and I honestly didn't think I would ever quit

1:33:46 It was very interesting that you could smoke on the first week. Chantix is a non-nicotine pill that stays with you all day to help you quit In studies, 44% of Chantix users were quit during weeks 9 to 12 of treatment compared to 18 percent on sugar pill it's proven to reduce the urge to smoke I did have an unopened pack of cigarettes in my purse.

I don't need a crutch Ask your doctor if Chantix is right for you and find out how you can save money on your prescription at chantix.com Some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping Chantix.

The commercial also warns of potential kidney problems and allergic reactions.

1:35:36 So, did you go to the site? I'm going to find out there. I want to mention a couple of things and have another drug commercial we could play which will kind of exaggerate this... I don't know where these people live but very few people that can if something some little thing happens you call your doctor that the doctors ever gonna answer Yeah no! We know this And there's a worse ad for this I've got another one called Anglisa which is a diabetes drug that It makes it sound as though you, apparently you have to be the doctor telling your doctor a bunch of stuff that... You just play this commercial and it has a uh.. It makes you wonder if this guy- It's like the doctors should be telling YOU that you have some of these issues That they want you tell the doctor about is what I'm trying to say. If you have type 2 diabetes, you struggle to control your blood sugar. You exercise and eat right but your blood sugar may still be high And you need extra help

1:36:36 Ask your doctor about Unglyza, a once-daily medicine used with diet and exercise to control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Adding Unglyza to your current oral medicine may help reduce after meal blood sugar spikes and may help reduce high morning blood sugar Onglyza should not be used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Tell your doctor if you have a history or risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Onglyza has not been studied with insulin using onglyza with medicines such as sulfonylureas may cause low blood sugar some symptoms of low blood sugar are shaking sweating and rapid heartbeat call your doctor if you have an allergic reaction like rash, hives or swelling of the face mouth or throat

1:37:18 Ask your doctor if you also take a TZD. As swelling in the hands, feet or ankles may worsen, lead tests will check for kidney problems You may need a lower dose of Unglyza if your kidneys are not working well or if you take certain medicines Ask YOUR doctor about adding Unglyza Extra help, extra control! Now, just a commercial is not a great one but how do you tell your doctor that you have diabetic ketoacidosis? Hey doc I've got... wouldn't he be telling YOU that?!

1:37:55 I mean, wouldn't he know that if he's your doctor? I don't know. I don't know what it is! I don't know what it is either but how would you be telling him?! The whole ad has got... and there are a lot of these assumptions that oh just call your doctor, just call your doctor If you're swelling up like a balloon, just call your doctor He's got nothing else to do but take the call Because its' just a legal requirement to say that That's all So Shantix is $30 off if you download the coupon Oh, that's a deal. Yeah yeah it's good. It probably costs hundreds of dollars But the real good stuff is going to our vets coming back from Iraq and the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Agency officials have said yeah it's okay we're going to start treating our troops who are there for misguided bullshit war for poppies trains and oil pipeline

MDMA Approved for PTSD Research in Veterans

The FDA and DEA have authorized research into using MDMA (ecstasy) to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in military veterans. Dr. Mithoefer is leading the study, which aims to help those who have not responded to traditional therapies. The Pentagon is also exploring alternative treatments such as yoga and acupuncture at a new $72 million research facility.

1:38:49 We're gonna start treating them for post-traumatic stress disorder with ecstasy. What? Yep, and did you get that one from Wired? Yeah MDMA that's right this stuff is not good for ya I've never done it actually so I have no idea I apparently... I've never done it because it's not good for you Apparently you get all lovey dovey Yeah, well I've got I fed. I know somebody who used to use it all the time in there and every time she was on it She was out. He would you would call her over you mean yeah? With somebody I'd call her out on it because it was like nobody smiles that much with a goofball look Is that is that good is that it is that the giveaway the goof ball giveaways like a big smile and a goofball Look Like this

1:39:39 Really but no I mean lots of people love it. They like oh, it's fantastic And they'd like to go out and party But I do understand that after the effects wear out then you get like crash really hard for a couple days Which seems like not quite? Not worth it You know what I mean? Yeah, no nothing. These drugs are not healthy So most certainly these will be veterans from Iraq or Afghanistan because longer duration of post-traumatic stress disorder means more complicating factors says dr Mittenhofer adding he does anticipate enrolling for vets from earlier wars and is still accepting applications so we can still get in Oh Dr.. Drugs yeah

1:40:19 Wow. Well that's not good, it's just gonna cause more suicides I- you know what? It doesn't say... well either that or just a whole bunch of zombies walking around giggling Yeah that could be Goofballs And this is wired of course an extension of the Ministry Of Truth Uhh.. of course The Pentagon still struggling to better diagnose and address post traumatic stress disorder most recently with a cutting edge Cutting edge 72 thousand square foot research facility wow Despite you'd think that after like five wars we kind of can recognize what it is I know we have a cutting-edge 72,000 square foot research for you know What it is. It's like you put young kids near exploding crap and seeing their buddies get blown to bits Yeah That's what creates it and don't need a cutting edge seventy two thousand square foot research facility to find that out despite the military's gradual fall on alternative methods to treat the disorder

1:41:16 Already they've funded everything from yoga and acupuncture to warrior mind training. Although the FDA and the DEA are all over it, top brass in the military have yet to fully endorse the use of MDMA. This is just dumb! Well since we're on MDMA I have a clip Which I believe this woman is on MDMA as she's trying to speak. This is the incredibly vapid announcer on Burning Man special that was on current TV Al Gore station, okay? Oh, I'm sorry here we go Hello all you beautiful humans. I'm Michelle Lombardo and welcome to burning man lives So you've answered my question This is what someone on MDM a sounds like

Burning Man Festival and Undercover Drug Enforcement

The Bureau of Land Management and local sheriffs are using undercover officers in costume to bust drug users at the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert. Current TV featured a segment on the festival hosted by Michelle Lombardo. Despite the festival's reputation for radical self-expression, over 1,900 citations have been issued by the BLM since 2001.

1:42:14 Is she either way this woman is gorgeous, but she just seems like he's dumb as a fireball And she's doing this from Burning Man. Is that the deal it looks like a studio? Yeah? Oh, it's a blue screen okay Hello all you beautiful humans. That's how I'm gonna start the show on Thursday. Hello, are you beautiful humans? I'm Michelle Lombardo and welcome to Burning Man lives! I am so happy that you can join me because over the next hour we'll travel through Nevada's Black Rock Desert for the Burning Man Festival. I'm so thankful to have the ability to take you on this journey because Burning Burning Man has opened me up in many ways to the life that I want to lead. Oh baby, I'll bet it's opened you up! And I hope it does a bit of the same for you That said...I figured why not jump right in? Literally First stop is a burner's take on wedding Skydive style So uh..I have some news about Burning Man They've got 80 cops undercover in costume roaming around busting people for gosh-for taking drugs

1:43:14 Officials from the US Bureau of Land Management and Pershing County Sheriff's Department cite a new study by the U.S. Park Police that concludes even larger police presence is needed! It should be 144! Mark Pirtle, Special Agent in Charge says I don't want my guys to be party poopers they're not bad people but they do like to use drugs and you are still in a non-drug state here So they are dressing up, it's like... They're undercover! They're undercover in costume and they're busting people doing drugs. The whole point of Burning Man is to go to the desert where you can't hurt anyone and like take acid and MDMA and freak out for a couple days And then it's-it's like a release that's what the whole thing is about! Duhh

1:44:10 This is not okay! Well, it's just the beginning of the end. At some point in a few years from now it'll be all cops busting each other. Yeah really? 1900 burners have been cited by the BLM since 2001 That's actually not all that much when you think about it What's the BLM? Let me see... It must be Burning Man something or other. BLM That's weird, they just throw this BLM thing in all of a sudden. I don't see a reference to it earlier in the... I hate that by the way! Writers out there take note. It's very annoying Assuming you know what BLM means? It literally does not say John. BLM Let me just do a search on this page and let me see it They should have it and they should be

1:45:06 in charge for the BLM. Right? It should be like BLM or it should be like the acronym expanded and then in parentheses, BLM right so they can reference the rest of the story yeah. Let me do a couple different ways anyway all right... It's wrong! It's wrong is what it is I have one more thing that I think is semi-newsworthy yes Bureau of Land Management, I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, but they should put that in there Yeah, they should thank you Charlie should have used Bureau of Land Management first and then just gone with the it Should have been BLT says the drunk economist Much better Okay So this is apparently the 40th anniversary of Geraldo's being in broadcasting Nobody gave him a roast

Geraldo Rivera Celebrates 40 Years in Broadcasting

Geraldo Rivera hosted a self-celebratory special on Fox News to mark his four decades in the news business. He reflected on his career starting in 1970, covering the Vietnam War, the Kent State shootings, and his famous report on the Willowbrook State School. The hosts find the lack of a formal roast or external tribute to be pathetic.

1:45:58 Nobody said anything about it. Nobody gives a crap to be honest about it so Geraldo decides to throw himself a party and extoll himself on his weekend show I just have the opening clip of it, but it's so ridiculous It's like kind of feel sorry for the guy. I'm great Hi everybody, I'm Geraldo Rivera and welcome to the celebration of my four decades in the news business. This is so sad! It's pathetic... Welcome! I matter! I'm relevant! There's nobody else involved at the show

1:46:36 It has been a fascinating run and dynamic, exotic wonderful often important but frequently stressful and sometimes dangerous business that tends to wear out people more quickly than most jobs. And there aren't many still standing who started in that wild era when the civil rights movement had collapsed into urban chaos The endless war in Vietnam was tearing our nation apart How old is Geraldo? Well he started in 1970. If he started in 1970, probably just got out of school He's probably about 65. So he is like really after the human rights movement? No if you do the math it's 1970 so he was trying to make it sound as though he was involved earlier You know after I shook hands with Martin Luther King Richard Nixon was still president

1:47:29 The deaths of four students at Kent State University, at the hands of Ohio National Guardsmen was accelerating the alienation of young people all across our country. And self-style rebels like me didn't trust anyone over 30! On television then longer than most Americans have been alive entire adult life is played out in public. Many of you have watched my high and low dramas, my on-air triumphs like the long campaign to humanize the care for developmentally disabled, and my not so triumphs like getting my nose broken and opening Al Capone's empty vault So it limited commercial interruption. Let the celebration begin after this free commercial interruption back in a flash I am awesome That is just and notice how he's like not a single sponsor wanted to sponsor this piece of crap Celebration so it's commercial-free

US Citizenship Test Questions and Slave Imagery

The hosts review questions from the 2010 U.S. citizenship test, criticizing them for being overly simplistic or historically narrow. Questions cover topics such as the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, the purpose of the Emancipation Proclamation, and the events of September 11, 2001. Adam Curry uses "slave" imagery to mock the requirement of pledging loyalty to the flag and the government.

citizenship test· uscis· abraham lincoln· world war i· september 11· pledge of allegiance

1:48:25 Oh man, so um... You know roast or something I mean you... No no yeah roast him. That's what i said! Yeah put it no but put them on the spit and roast them like really roast them So someone sent me a list of the questions you must answer to become a citizen of these United States of Gitmo Nation and they pointed out one in particular but let me just ask I'll start at number 80 and we'll take it to 86 John. It's, I think it's open-ended so...I don't know if it's not multiple choice you have to actually answer the question So let's see if you're worthy of being a slave of Gitmo Nation shall we? Sure Who was president during World War One? Wilson Yes Who was president during the Great Depression and World War Two

1:49:13 Roosevelt. Yes, who did the United States fight in World War II? Germany and Japan yes and if you had said Italy that would have been correct as well before he was president Eisenhower was a general what war was he in Wow world war two this is pathetic do you notice a trend here during the Cold War these are in order by the way what was the main concern of the United States Getting blown to smithereens by the Russians. That's right, but communism would be the correct answer What movement tried to end racial discrimination? Try it says tried yes The civil rights movement that's correct 85 what did Martin Luther King jr.. Do he was a minute is a preacher and

1:50:03 That's what he was. No, no, no! What did HE do? Answer the question slave!! He gave a speech! You're wrong slave! He fought for civil rights Well we know that... Nope you clearly didn't slave 86 this is my favorite question What major event happened on September 11th 2001 in the United States They pulled down World Trade Center 7 Wrong slave terrorists attacked the United States. WTC7 won't go away! This is the most outrageous set of... this is what qualifies you to become

1:50:50 citizen of Gitmo Nation if you can answer these questions about war? Those are pretty brain-dead too. It's worse, I mean it's factually... being a student of history John many of these questions are factually just incorrect for instance because yeah I always thought the questions were like who was the first president right which would be George Washington although not really but okay it would be George Washington And who was the 16th president right those are those are the questions you think it is What are two rights of everyone living in the United States? What are to write yes name to slave the right to assemble and the right to free speech Yes, freedom of speech answer the question in the for answer that in quorum question what do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance slave I

1:51:48 Come on, what do we pledge it? What do we show loyalty to? The flag of course. Yes! And what else? and the United States of America yes yes yes yes yes What is the one promise you make when you become a United States citizen? To defend the Constitution Wrong slave! What is the first answer? It should be defend the Constitution Wrong slave! The first answer is give up loyalty to other countries Obey the laws of the United States Serve in the US military if needed Serve! Do important work for the nation, if needed. Be loyal to the United States and then finally defend the Constitution This is ridiculous Well you have a link in the show notes I hope Yes it's just outrageous And they talk about Lincoln which is really funny Here it is Slave! What was one important thing Abraham Lincoln did?

1:52:57 What do you do, slave? I'm giving a hint. Slave! He freed the slaves! Yes that's right he freed the slaves what did the Emancipation Proclamation do? Freed the slaves. That's right what are you? Slave! You're a slave right?! How does that work? This is unbelievable this is what you have to learn Yeah, it doesn't sound right. I thought there were harder questions than that. I was under the impression back when i was a kid that the questions were the kind of question most Americans couldn't answer because they're too complicated They can't answer these questions? They absolutely can't answer these questions no

New Zealand Earthquake and Earthquake Machine Theories

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand, causing significant property damage but no reported deaths. The hosts compare the event to the Haiti earthquake, noting that New Zealand's superior building codes prevented a similar catastrophe. However, they also discuss the "signature" of the quake and speculate on the possible use of an earthquake machine.

christchurch· new zealand· earthquake· haiti· msnbc· earthquake machine

1:53:35 Hey, you probably very few people know that Wilson was World War One. I don't think they know at all So what I found kind of interesting we had this earthquake machine We should do it a little on the street thing and I'll tell you what I'll do it with Eddie Okay, Eddie Do the do the do the citizenship questions with Eddie? Oh my god That should be great. This would be awesome okay if the link is in the show notes under What does it get mo nation Past the new US citizenship test 2010 and it's actually listed under citizenship test tips tips So the earthquake machine was flicked on in New Zealand, and I figured you're gonna get to that so I have a counter clip after you're done. Okay what I found interesting is MSNBC

1:54:25 immediately comes out and says in January a 7.0 quake hit Haiti 230,000 people died today as seven point oh quake hit New Zealand early indications are that it caused relatively few serious casualties what is the difference? And then he goes on to say that it is that the type of earthquake quotation marks in the air was exactly the same type as Haiti, namely very shallow and it went from side to side instead of up and down. Of course that is the signature of the earthquake machine What is most interesting is that I don't think anyone died in Christchurch New Zealand And the whole point is because people don't live in shacks and shoddyly built buildings

1:55:17 But more importantly, of course the whole place is under curfew. So all the slaves have to stay inside They're not allowed out after I think it's 10 p.m.. So it's a clampdown on There's only two hundred thirty thousand people there for Christ sakes in Christ Church so everyone is under curfew may not come out because they're afraid something might fall on their head and But to me, we'll find out. There's something going on either they had to keep the slaves inside for some reason or there is some oil exploration going on Or something had to be shaken up but it has the exact same signature as the Haiti earthquake which I think pretty much now is

1:55:59 We're pretty clear that was the earthquake machine. What is your clip about, John? Well my clip is about how many earthquakes they actually have in this area which indicates to me this wasn't the earthquake machine but just an earthquake which do occur and so my clip which you have right there New Zealand Earthquake kind of runs down the whole story and then the number appears at the end. Dozens aftershocks continue hit New Zealand South Island after Saturday's powerful 7.1 earthquake Celia Hatton on how the Island Nation is beginning its recovery effort. Toppled buildings, flooded streets, crushed cars and even a fire this is what the people of Christchurch face today after a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand's second biggest city. The whole building fell over sideways

1:56:48 taking back and forth as if it had been hit by something. Many say it's a miracle no one died in the quake, which was as strong as the one that hit Haiti earlier this year. New Zealand experiences 14,000 earthquakes annually so its buildings are well fortified but they were no match for these tremors 14,000 sure now we get 14,000 in California. So I'm gonna do from now on I'm only going to interview somebody with an alarm bell That is the best isn't it? That is fantastic But the city has gone into lockdown because of course things only fall on your head at night not during a day that's obvious and

Yes, good luck on you. QuakePrediction.com That's zero... 5.5 would be kind of a... It's nothing! Nothing! It'd be like a cheap massage at a Berkeley spa And Yellowstone which has been rumbling for quite a bit This is truly not earthquake machine material this is just earthquakes

1:58:09 No, this is bad. Yeah so story from Discovery of course you have those buildings in right near the CIA what happened here there was the tectonic plates were completely ruptured under Yellowstone is that what the story is? So it looks like So does that mean we're going to get a real big one now? No, nobody knows. I mean this Yellowstone thing blows up every 600 thousand years the caldera there it's the world biggest volcano uh... and when it happens that usually wipes out all humanity for her i think the you end up with a very you ended with some survival of the deal because he can survive on by eating your dead friends i guess perfect like is essentially there's no food i mean if you can grow anything as a bit said by the blackout for couple years since it's not good no um

Cultural Shift and the Perceived Obsolescence of Men

The hosts discuss a perceived cultural trend where men are being portrayed as unnecessary in modern society. They cite the rise of sperm banks, Hollywood films about single motherhood, and an MIT study regarding the use of sex toys by female students. They suggest this is a cyclical theme in popular culture that gains traction during economic shifts.

1:59:09 and uh... you would be a destroyer civilization as we know it for probably for a decade or more in other news roaming gangs of the roving gang's of flooded flesh-eating human resources what is this uh... mean about men being like worthless these days have even noticed this almond i wish i had a joy bait bay hara clip about it well there's a couple things first of all Women are now choosing to get sperm from the sperm bank because we don't need men for that. Well, we needed men at one point but not actually a man in our lives Look at Hollywood We've got the backup plan The switch The kids are alright

2:00:00 It just seems like men are being pushed, we're just unnecessary. What was this other? MIT did a study 13% of all MIT students female have sex toys actually 16% of MIT women have toys 26% of the females in the senior class have sex toys or I should say sexual aids We're not necessary anymore You know you women will be sorry Yeah, when you wake up and realize that oh wait a minute those guys are kind of handy But it just said am I nuts or is this really in the popular culture that men are just like there? I think they take a run at this every so often And I don't know who the they are but I've noticed that. This is a cycle It comes and goes and never gets very much traction Because at some point you know it's almost like

2:00:57 You know, as the economy collapses... Men are out of a job. Of course most men are not working because all the men jobs... Right and it forces women to become hookers. Men can be hookers too John! Well around here that's for sure around these parts. But you agree with me, right? There's definitely something going on there I mean i haven't seen it like this ever in my lifetime I don't think Well you're down in LA where I think which is a cultural nexus for everything that happens in the world pretty much but you can not normally see it because your in the middle of it but I think your just surrounded by that and so I think its more noticeable there im not seeing
