1:37:09 Tech memes and this was sent to me as soon as by Dennis Cruz one of our longtime producers tech memes top 50 tech stories of 2010 shows the influence of The corporate blogs and more importantly press releases on Six of the top ten stories in tech and we're just saying tech because this is what you know We know I'm sure our audience knows a little bit about this six of the top 10 news store news stories came directly from blogs From the companies in question. So as Steve Jobs's thought on flash Andy Rubin's Google blog posts about changes in the Nexus one availability
1:37:50 So it just proves that there is no news, there is no reporting. It's all PR companies none of it is actual news and reporting You think a PR... someone sent out a press release about the 3333 in Haiti? Where do they get that number from I'd like to know This is the problem that we have because we're just the two of us, reverse engineering everything and deconstructing. But we don't have any... We're not getting inside information from actual spooks or government sources or anything else. We are just taking things apart and showing people how to do that themselves a lot of people obviously as well as we do
1:38:36 And so we don't, so when it comes to like why 333? When did that become a code number. Why is it a code number and who's delivering under what circumstances and what does actually mean in the end when day is done we don't, we can get that part I mean we can kind of guess once in a while but this was too obscure. We have never figured it out okay so Fox News reports the number deaths in Haiti from the cholera epidemic afflicting the poverty-stricken nation since mid October has risen to 3333 according to the health ministry they have a health ministry in Haiti? I like the word ministry I think there's an element there about the code
1:39:17 Oh, it came from the ministry. There's more interesting numbers in this they're pretty specific oh According to a bulletin posted on the ministries website Let's do this right now John. This is very annoying let's find this out so Haiti Ministry of Health We should be able to find it. That right? Yep! Okay, let me work on it too. Well Haiti has a... they must have some kind of a... come on chat room help me out here I see US government officials and Haitian Ministry of Health. I don't see a Haitian Ministry of Health website What is the Haiti top-level domain name

1:41:39 Funny, on October 29th it's supposedly the cholera epidemic which was killing 305, which still had 3 in it but not that many. Supposedly was subsiding Really? Really! Hmm... Okay how do I change this to English It's in French This is not helping Go to Google Translations No, they should have an English version of it That Gouvre Yeah why, it was international Let me see there must be an English version Plan du site Okay, here's your I got you go to guy. Let me look this guy up Gabriel the mote a on I think just do gov dot HT No, it's gotta be goof. Well, this is fascinating Yeah, well the ministry there we go the ministry or gonna grum do Organogram do ministry? Okay What's health in French?
1:42:51 nothing they don't have health there. They don't? There's no such word now, I'm just kidding. Direction générale, direction centrale, unité coordinatrice centrale, le Dougue? No. Error file! All right work needs to be done you know what in Wikipedia it's got three three three three in there oh of course this Ministry of Truth But where does it come from? From a blog post? It comes from this guy, Gabriel Thamote. That's the key if we can figure out that guys background we'll figure out the whole thing Why is he the one who is propagating the message? Yep He's the head of Haiti's health department Gabriel Thamoto said 4147 people were treated to whose cholera chief Claire Leigh Shagnat said the epidemic was not contained as in October She did not achieve its peak
1:43:43 Gabriel Thimotee keeps coming up. Okay, Gabriel have you wikied him? I'm looking at the only wiki that you've got is the 2010 Haiti cholera outbreak wiki page which apparently documents much of this but i haven't gotten a background on this character Monsieur Thimotee T-H-E-M-O-T-E This Gabriel J-B-R-I-E-L-T-H-I-M T-E accent grave. Oh, an accent grave! I know how to do those actually. It's like biodiversity. Hey here we go hey he's got a flicker page well now you're talking. He probably has pictures of dead people. Hey he's got a flicker page
1:44:34 More than 200 people died in Haiti in the wake of a cholera epidemic declared in the country, announced Saturday the Director General of the Ministry of Health Gabriel Timoteo. Oh! Is it Timo-tee-oh? I don't have any spelling with an O on the end. It's T... He has T H I M O with an accent. T E O No Well, this is on his own Flickr page. Well then it's not spelled that way any place else so it was meant to confuse us Wow All throughout every document I've looked at has got its spell without that spelling It's spelled T-H-I-M-O without any accent T-E Wow Alright well anyway like I said this is the point we have been making which is we can't get to the bottom of it
1:45:30 There's a... Wow. 3,000 dead 33,000 hospitalized This Timotei guy is interesting He's a doctor and apparently he has been... Here we go But far from taking aggressive and proactive measures like stopping traffic, Haitian public health authorities have been trying to minimize the crisis claiming as the Health Ministry's General Director Gabriel Timothée did October 25th that the disease progress has been stabilized. Here they're talking about H5N1 so this guy may be a bird flu shill as well hmmm What are they? They're talking about h5n1 Yeah This is back I'm going back to October now
1:46:13 Where there were 337 cholera deaths. More 3's, more threes. Okay we're cut out for us human resources let's work on this This is a fascinating stuff. Thumbs up! Yeah fascinating the 333 is definitely a signal it's saying look out interesting shit coming your way now It's obvious. Definitely a signal it's like a flare There's the flare Okay, we've got to get to work. Um... So I got- Yeah please We're gonna change topics a little bit.
