About this episode

The Obama administration bypassed constitutional war powers on March 17, 2011, to launch 110 Tomahawk missiles at Libyan targets under the guise of UN Resolution 1973. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed a long-standing diplomatic effort preceded the strikes, yet analysis reveals the international community had only mobilized 21 days prior. This military intervention, dubbed the work of George W. Obama, occurred as the President departed for a multi-country tour of South America while the executive branch ignored requirements for a formal congressional declaration of war.

Secondary developments include the appointment of Abdel Elah Al-Khatib as the UN special envoy to Libya, a former Jordanian official with questionable ties to international intelligence. In Egypt, protesters in Tahrir Square attacked Mohamed ElBaradei with stones, accusing him of being a foreign agent during the constitutional referendum. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage confronted the European Parliament with photographic evidence of President Herman Van Rompuy holding hands with Muammar Qaddafi in late 2010. Domestically, Congressman John Micah revealed that a GAO report on TSA body scanner failure rates is being suppressed by the government to hide the pronounced inefficiency of Rapiscan Systems technology.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct the media staging of the Paris press corps and the curious correlation between Anne Hathaway news cycles and Berkshire Hathaway stock fluctuations. The episode features a deep dive into the documentary Feathered Cocaine, which alleges Osama Bin Laden has been participating in falconry in Iran. Executive Producer Jan Van Der Ries and the newly knighted Sir Yon lead the support for this mission of news deconstruction.

UN Resolution 1973, Hillary Clinton Libya Timeline Discrepancy

Hillary Clinton claimed the international community has called on Muammar Qaddafi to end violence "time and time again" since 1970, but analysis of UN Resolution 1973 reveals it actually recalls Resolution 1970 from February 26, 2011. This indicates the "long-standing" diplomatic effort cited by the State Department had only lasted 21 days at the time of the intervention. The discussion highlights that the UN had not yet verified alleged human rights violations before authorizing military action and asset seizures.

hillary clinton· libya· un resolution 1973· muammar qaddafi· united nations

01:25 Yes, John. How many of these things do you have? Enough! So with all this kind of... This is like important world event stuff Why is Obama in Brazil and Hillary's in Paris shopping You mean George W. Obama This is my new name for him. George W., I like it, I'll use it His name is George W Obama Well I can tell you exactly why in fact well and I wasn't going to do this one first but so oh my goodness Oh I see you have a lot of interesting clips So what I did was I went and looked at the UN resolution John

02:10 I got a UN resolution clip for you. Okay, so because you know whenever someone... You're not talking about the UN Resolution set 1973 are ya? No no no your misunderstanding how it works The number of the UN resolution is, uh... UN Security Resolution 1973. That doesn't mean it's from 1973! You fool! I thought it was from 1973 and I'll tell you why- No, you fool! You fool!! Why do you think that? Because Hillary-I have a clip here to prove my point if you want me to jump in here with more. Sure go ahead let's do it

02:47 uh... of course then the question i caught myself off guard so that my list of clips in front of hillary and jill hillary and matt hillary not in bed with a raps part one part one hillary on stopping qaddafi yeah hillary and stopping qaddafi all right let's listen to that we should Take stock of where we are and how we got here And how many times the international community? Called on Qaddafi to end the violence against his own people since 1970 obviously She didn't say that well keep going demonstrable steps to end the aggression and pull back

03:29 and time and time again starting... Time and time again! First resolution. This has been going on for years, Adam, years. Let her play some more. In 1970 through the succeeding time period there was no evidence that he intended to do so despite various claims that were made Oh! And if the international community is to have credibility in this show of unity that 1973 represents, then action must take place. Okay hold on now let me... you can stop it So time and time again this has been going on forever according to Hillary

04:13 and so i looked up in a red light skip nineteen seventy three is that the resolution nineteen seventy what do i think it this is very interesting i'll tell you why because if you look at night resolution nineteen seventy-three line number one john the security council comma recalling its resolution nineteen seventy from the 26th of February 2011 which means you've got to go back to the 1970 resolution, which is not from 1970 it's from the 26th of February. Wait a minute hold on a second! The 26th of February to today that Hillary said has been going on forever is only 21 days are you telling me yeah that in twenty one short days this constitutes we've been trying to do something about this time and time and time again

05:03 It gets even worse because in paragraph 4 of resolution 1970 from the 26th of February 2011, and they have all these each paragraph starts off with expressing deploring welcoming taking notes and here welcoming the human rights council resolution a h r c re s as one fifty one one of the twenty fifth february two thousand eleven one day before including the decision to other day wait including the decision to urgently dispatch in independent international commission of inquiry to investigate all alleged

05:40 violations of international human rights law in the libyan arab jama here yet to establish the facts and circumstances of such violations and of the christ perpetrated and where possible identify those responsible so what they're saying here is that these are alleged violations and that they want to send a united nations human rights council team to go on verified the fact so course i went and looked at what the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations had to say and they say, The commission is expected to begin its work in the next two weeks and report its findings at the next council session in June.

06:23 they didn't even wait to find out if it was true or not. They didn't even wait to see if it was true or not! That's because for time and time and time again over the last 20 days... 20 days, 20 days, time and time and time... Well of course in both these resolutions It's almost like an Apple Terms Of Service is very funny uh... and so actually nineteen seventy three is not a very good resolution you need to look at the nineteen seventy that's the one this that i can send me is a good one has a little bit delay i read ninety seven it was the following take all their money exactly document about taking money yeah do with his body services we don't like what we think is going on so we're taking all your money yet and by the way if someone has got if that money supposed to pay rent or legal fees then it's okay that money can be taken for that

07:16 So bankers with interest payments, lawyers... everybody gets to take their money but all the rest is like in lockup. We just took your money bitch! Now as and with Apple's terms of service this could have been written by the Apple legal team at the end of both resolutions may have been we don't know no we don't it clearly states commitments review uh... affirms that she'll keep the libyan authorities actions under continuous review shall be prepared to review the appropriateness of the majors contained in this resolution including the strengthening modification suspension or lifting of the measures as may be needed at anytime in light of the libyan authorities compliance with relevant provisions of this resolution so in other words we have the right to change our terms of service any moment and uh... when i was a ghost twenty days and we did it

08:12 it at the finest thing before he is a larry howard and i am in time and time twenty days the funniest thing is that while by the way they've been did more people been butchered indoor for yeah as a rwanda about rohan al-adha there's no oil their normal oil in rwanda uh... also of interesting note is that uh... a lot of this refers to be international criminal court which united states have given only should doesn't even recognize Right? Yeah. We don't even recognize it! I think India is another one that didn't sign off... We don't even recognize it, so what they did do and oh they're very happy They took advice from a dude let me see he's mentioned specifically I did a lot of highlighting here this was just this was so entertaining It's like I actually turned off talk soup to read these documents it was so hilarious

Abdel Elah Al-Khatib, UN Special Envoy to Libya

The United Nations appointed Abdel Elah Al-Khatib, a former Jordanian Minister of Tourism and Antiques, as the special envoy to Libya. Al-Khatib holds degrees from Johns Hopkins and American University, leading to speculation regarding his ties to international intelligence communities. His background in tourism is contrasted with his current role in finding a sustainable solution to the Libyan crisis.

abdel elah al-khatib· jordan· united nations· libya· diplomacy

09:11 so um... the united nations welcomes with the appointment by the secretary general who by the way is our new president uh... of his special on board to libya mister abdel a lot mohammed al-khatib and supporting his efforts his efforts define sustainable and peaceful solution to the crisis so uh... you don't google this in mister abdel el mohamed al-qatiba by the way using its tough spelling names try googling name Oh yeah, it's impossible. Well I did wind up with a little bio on the man. Alright, congratulations He is from Jordan actually which of course is... How nice! And his short name is Abdul, looks like a URL shortener Abdul-Ila Khatib

09:56 uh... married three children graduated his master's degree in international economics from john hopson hops hopkins school of advanced international studies master degree in international communications from the american university we know that who can really ends at cia bachelor's degree in political science from the school of political science and athens grease another fine place and in nineteen ninety five years appointed as the minister of tourism and antiques in Jordan John. This is their expert, the Minister of Tourism and Antiques! Now so I'm just a simple guy however um...I am pretty much in the understanding that in the United States Constitution the only body that can call for war is Congress

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

War Powers Act, Obama Administration Congressional Consultation

Hillary Clinton addressed the legality of the Libyan intervention during a press conference in Paris, suggesting that while the administration welcomes congressional support, it is not strictly required. President Barack Obama, referred to by the hosts as "George W. Obama," reportedly consulted with bipartisan leaders on March 17, 2011, just before traveling to Brazil. The hosts argue that the executive branch is bypassing the constitutional requirement for a congressional declaration of war.

barack obama· hillary clinton· war powers act· congress· libya

10:46 and uh... it is a the only time when and i have all these links in show notes for those interest the only time when the president may directly call for war as if we under a direct attack and then and only if then he can deploy four sixty days no longer than that without an official uh... resolution from congress now at hillary clinton was in paris and that's this comes back to your shopping trip and by the way she's wearing some really nice garb now as you got the chanel sun sunglasses on and everything he had a says the new hairdo at all galya yet your personal makeup so first comes the pertinent information that i'm not the clip role because this is the very last question to press conference finally sign on a wood is funny someone had been there for say it doesn't get congress have to like uh... iraqis dot gmail but secretary of sector

11:45 I read this document like, shouldn't congress like sign some declaration or something? And then after that it gets really funny. So it's the most important question of the day comes at the end and then goes right into complete elitism. It is very hard to understand so I'll give you this he says, I know that President went to a couple of congressional leaders because it has to do that if he's going to go call for war Not necessarily No yes necessarily under the provision that a president can call for war, he has to consult with Congress, he has to inform congress 48 hours before he does it and then he can do it for 60 days. So this is what he pulled out of his hat because remember he's a constitutional lawyer so he knows what he's talking about George W Obama

12:33 So the question is kind of hard to understand, but her answer's very clear. No, I think the President made that clear in a meeting with congressional leaders that he held in outlining all of the reasons why the United States was prepared to act and support of the international efforts on behalf of 1973. And of course we would always welcome congressional support but... This blew me away!

13:21 i would welcome some support from the congress you know images do whatever we want to do over here when he had this meeting has been hanging out in brazil now he had the meeting at two days ago i have a haven't shown us it did take place they can tell exactly who was there uh... but it's uh... is not all that interesting and but i i didn't make sure that i look here it is about meets with members of congress will give you the date Some members of the bipartisan congressional delegation are here at the White House while others are on a secure conference call. This is from March 18th when it was reported so I'm gonna say probably happened on the 17th, he was within his 48-hour window i would say read

14:03 Hoyer, Levin, Lugar. He must have jumped right on a plane! Oh yeah he got out of town right away. Right away now so that was just like oh really Hillary? Really oh we're so happy that he's the it'd be great if Conrad supported us but we don't really care about them now listen to what happens at the end when this elitist bitch takes takes off and oh just I want to kick her ass listen the president's very clear that The United States is acting in a way. That is within the existing authorities power his power as the power of war available to him Okay, thank you all have a great night in Paris those of you who get this day

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

Media Staging, Hillary Clinton Press Interaction

The hosts critique the perceived staging of press interactions involving Hillary Clinton and reporters identified as Jill and Matt. They suggest the familiar tone and framed questions indicate a lack of objective journalism during the Secretary of State's trip to Paris.

hillary clinton· media· journalism· paris· press conference

14:53 Have a great night everybody enjoy Yeah, she's uh she's been in the whole thing is I have I'm wondering about that mean this whole thing was so ridiculously staged oh Dad. I have these two clips at once you're saying what did what they have all is this Hillary and Jill Hilary and Matt? It's like, these are just her responses to a couple of the reports reporters that were asking. I know, I know... These framed questions just playing back-to-back say Hillary and Jill. Oh it makes me want to puke. Could it actually engage with Muammar Gaddafi after what has happened?

15:36 Well, Jill I will let Mr. Sarkozy explain... Yeah, Jill as we talked about last night you know what it wait a minute there's Jill and then i got this other one man what were these people on the plane with her coming over? Yes of course! Well then why don't they ask them to heard these questions on the plane because they're too busy doing blow Let's listen to Matt. You play Hillary, Matt too just a short clip. Specifically in which countries are going to be doing it? Well Matt I think the fact that we have representation... Oh Matt well you know... Squirrel! ...you notice this too I mean i was just appalled It is so horrific it is such a setup it is it's so clear... It's staged and it's a bunch of pals... Now hold on... It's ridiculous now just back to the resolution for a second

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

Tomahawk Missile Costs, Libyan No-Fly Zone Logistics

The initial military action in Libya involved the launch of 110 Tomahawk missiles, each costing approximately $600,000. The hosts question the strategic necessity of these strikes, noting that the UN resolution specified a no-fly zone rather than a bombardment of ground targets. They argue the intervention is driven by oil interests and the "Arab Spring" narrative rather than humanitarian concerns.

tomahawk missiles· libya· no-fly zone· military spending· oil

16:21 I read the resolution as John and i already discussed more than half of it is about taking the money which as the president himself said we played that last show. The largest seizure of assets in the country's history so that's big, big money but it doesn't say go and shoot Rockets? It doesn't say you need, what kind of missiles are they Tomahawks. You know it doesn't say we will go and shoot down tomahawks in fact it expressly says no fly zone that no Libyan registered aircraft may fly over its airspace there's a couple ways you can prevent that from happening one which is the most typical an aviation if some dude is flying up there you go up there

17:09 come next to me say hey dude you can fly up here because you know like we're your boss with the boss of you and then if he didn't want to do anything then you can shoot him out it doesn't say you can shoot a hundred and ten tomahawks of which oh my gosh only twenty actually hit their target the rest was maybe collateral damage You know, I want to mention something for our listeners. Those missiles cost $600,000 a piece! We just dropped... A country that is bankrupt... 60 million dollars in missiles to go- For what purpose? To get their oil of course!! Well we've already got it though i mean this is just a waste of money Oh it's the Arab Spring John how naive you are! No the Arab Spring How naive you are!!!

17:54 So, okay. I have three clips in a row and then uh... i'll be done with this because i'm just so angry at George W Obama and if you voted for George W Obama you should be kicking yourself right now! And I wish- Very few of our listeners are that dumb. I wish I could- You voted for McCain dude. Hey, you've been worse I somehow, if all of our brothers and sisters boots on the ground wings in the skies ships at sea. If they would just sit down and say i'm not gonna do it! Just like no i'm not going to do it. That would be the bravest thing in the world. I understand isn't easy to say. Yeah you'd be jailed and shot. It's easy to say well thanks to you. If they all sat down including the commanders. Get anybody to listen to this show

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

Louis Farrakhan, CIA Regime Change Theory

Louis Farrakhan spoke on a Chicago radio station regarding the CIA's role in stimulating revolts to achieve regime change in nations like Iran and Libya. Farrakhan defended Muammar Qaddafi's domestic record, citing the Great Man-Made River project and the provision of housing and jobs. He warned President Obama that the dissatisfaction seen in the Middle East is reaching a boiling point within the United States among armed militias.

louis farrakhan· cia· regime change· libya· muammar qaddafi

18:48 Yeah, true. All right so I've been learning so much in these past few days So Louis Farrakhan Louis Farrakhan goes on a Chicago radio station and he...I have three quotes from him And it's like if John if either of us You know mysteriously would like you know commit suicide two to the head gun in the left hand this guy can take over The slot in a second not a problem So first he explains how it actually works and how the CIA, which of course is the whole economic hitman theory. How the CIA goes in and riles up people to start revolutions. So in every nation brothers and sisters there is dissatisfaction And what the CIA does

19:40 is go into a country and move among the people that are dissatisfied to stimulate a revolt against a leader that they don't like because they want regime change. I wanna be specific when George W Bush was president he said they wanted regime change in Iran, in Korea. Regime change! How do you get regime change? Honest America?! How do you do that? Congress the congress of the United States voted to spend a hundred and fifty million dollars to replace the government in Iran that America doesn't like

20:40 So they send their agents in to work among the dissatisfied. and the people in iran rose up they have legitimate grievances all right but stimulated from that outside so president obama didn't wanna put his foot into that cage let somebody say america inspired it because it was america's policy to destabilize that government well what about

21:18 So could this guy be any duller? Well, hold on a second because he's about to let loose I mean like really let loose but first he said he talks about Libya and he runs down the list of things that uh... qaddafi has done that he says are good and uh... i think it's interesting to hear them did dissatisfied well what is the dissatisfaction about do they have jobs yes do they have food yes has cadet for you was the all money to build libya yes dick caddafy use or money and discover water under the sun dot this so how red desert

21:58 and brought that water to the surface, and brought water from Benghazi all the way to the border almost of Tunisia. That's true right? That is absolutely true he did that! He brought the water from the desert Did he impose farming in the desert so that they could feed their own people? Yes. Are there billions of dollars that he's spending building homes, building apartments for his people? Yes! So something is under this and so when America... Okay jeez I think this is the point we've been making

22:38 exactly but now and i would have a guy was boring make the point no no now we're gonna have the guy who's going to home george w obama and a hypocrite and i want my brother don't you let these wicked demons move u in the direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in africa and throughout the world they don't like the way you handle more barak they don't like to wait you're handling this situation in the arab world so i would advise you to be careful

23:15 with wisdom and skill. My advice would be, why don't you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for meeting with Qaddafi? You can't order him to step down and get out! Who the hell do you think you are?! that you can talk to a man that built a country over 42 years and ask him step down and get out? Can anybody ask you well, there's a lot now gonna ask you just step out of the White House because they don't want no black face in the White House. Be careful brother how you handle this situation because it is coming to America it has already started look in Wisconsin look at Ohio

24:07 Look at what's going on in your country and remember your words because the American people are rising against their own government. It is not Muslims, it is not black people, its white militia that are angry with their government and they are well armed Are you gonna tell them put your arms down? And let's talk it over peacefully? I hope so. But if not, America will be bathed in blood Not because Farrakhan said so but because the dissatisfaction in America has reached the boiling point. Squirrel!

24:46 So I think that makes up for all the boring clips i've ever come up with. No it's not boring! It's 10 minutes of my life, I'll never get back to paraphrase you. Okay okay well when I die... It is boring if you played the last part only it might have been okay but this guy is a slow talker and you know I don't know so what? Yeah I agree with him but you know there's nothing that we haven't been saying Yeah, but I know. But when we say it's like poop in the wind. It's like poop in the wind when Farrakhan says stuff to you. No, actually diminishes our thought process, I believe. I don't think...I think a lot of people think is Louis Farrakhan as a very scary guy and then when you hear him talk like we do I think it's interesting to hear that. You're right maybe I shouldn't have played three clips but uh you know we can always uh... Squirrel! What is that squirrel thing you keep playing? Well didn't you know that squirrels are now attacking people

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Squirrel Attacks, Prince Charles Red Squirrel Conservation

Reports from Bennington, Vermont, indicate a series of squirrel attacks on residents. Simultaneously, Prince Charles has made public statements advocating for the restoration of the red squirrel to its rightful place in the British countryside. The hosts jokingly link these events to a "New World Order" squirrel meme.

squirrels· prince charles· bennington vermont· wildlife· red squirrel

25:43 No, you're not up to speed. Squirrels are attacking people! There are evil squirrels this is big news and it was a total throwback to when you had that incredibly boring... Oh now he's getting defensive Vermont Bennington Vermont people have been attacked by squirrels they think one but I think it's a whole bunch of squirrels over the past couple weeks And then Prince Charles comes out and says, it cannot be beyond us to put the red squirrel back in its rightful place within this country's wildlife. And thus give it untold pleasure to our successors in years to come. Squirrel! So there must be something with squirrels they must be part of some new world order. We had a squirrel meme on the show about year and half two years ago my wife... Notice how donations have gone up since then? My wife killed one and then they were out to get her

Executive Producer Donations, No Agenda Knighting Ceremony

Jan Van Der Ries, an American living in Mexico, donated $1,111.11 to become the Executive Producer of the episode. Other major donors include Charles Jordan and Will Lysak, who are recognized as Co-Executive Producers. The hosts discuss the "Black Knight" status, a title reserved for donors whose recognition was previously overlooked due to administrative errors.

CHAPTER 11 / 38 Discussion

Libyan Rebel Jet Crash, Aviation Logic

A video circulated by CNN shows a fighter jet plummeting and exploding in Libya, which opposition leaders claimed was one of their own aircraft. The hosts express skepticism regarding the rebels' ability to maintain and operate supersonic aircraft in desert conditions without formal airfields or maintenance infrastructure.

tripoli· benghazi· fighter jet· rebels· cnn

35:53 So much for keeping the show clean so yeah good work, so I want a couple of little side notes on this thing in Libya Which I thought was pretty funny. Did you see this clip? I've got it play the clip This is from a local news show because they fed this everywhere as though it was a news item Jet blows up good Yeah, I did. Tripoli it's believed they're trying to form a human shield to protect the Libyan leader from attack and from Benghazi tonight the stronghold of the opposition movement comes word that Qaddafi forces have moved back out at that city following an intense assault both on the ground and from the air here you see a fighter jet on fire plummeting towards the ground opposition leaders tell CNN that was one of their jets but they had hoped he used just stop good office bombers

36:42 Well now you can see it hitting the ground and blowing up. Hold on a second, let me get this straight This is the rebels in the Star Wars movie right? They have... they got a couple of jets I don't know where they keep them! I don't know where i'd keep my personal jet By the way there's no maintenance on those things at all No their maintenance free those jets And they use kerosene You could using cooking oil and things will fly NO WORRIES What are we kidding with this blowing up? Oh there goes our jet. Oh, that's the jet we wanted. It was the jet! Hey Mustafa! Can't you keep the jet in the air?!

37:22 You stupid idiot! Who is buying this malarkey? And what's even better is, it's not like- you see the thing catch fire. It's not like...it got shot all of a sudden. No, just catches on fire. Like in The Simpsons movie. Like Homer Simpson flying. Oh can I smoke onboard here? Ooh there's an ashtray hilarious now I know yeah is that these are the rebels with AK-47s and a jet! We've got our jet. Yeah, no maintenance required to be a break Not at all especially in the desert Where does it take off from? From the sand it's real easy Why don't they shoot if there was all this activity in the sky with these nippians why didn't you just find the jet and shoot it into ground

38:14 as an aviator. What a bunch of bull crap! As an aviator that is indeed the most hilarious thing in the world yeah because all you could just lay down some railroad tracks or something and just take off with the jet it's not a problem, landing is real easy in the desert in this sand Just keep the nose wheel up don't worry about it everything will be fine. In sand? Can you imagine?! Hey how many airfield do they have in Libya if they hit 20 targets out 110 tomahawks Yeah, how many do they have? 20 airfields. I don't know. Who knows the whole thing is so sketchy We don't really know anything as far as we know Qaddafi's already some of my UFO videos are more believable than that jet video It had like supersonic speed which is why it fell down like a brick Straight down nose first

CHAPTER 12 / 38 Discussion

Hillary Clinton Body Language, Arab Relations

Analysis of Hillary Clinton's press conference footage suggests she has a physical "tell"—touching her nose—when discussing strategic partnerships with Arab nations. The hosts discuss the historical friction between female U.S. Secretaries of State, such as Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice, and Middle Eastern leaders who traditionally marginalize women.

hillary clinton· middle east· diplomacy· body language· tell

39:09 anyway i was very funny how are you a couple other funny things I thought but I have this guy was playing this clip that does Hillary not in bed with the Arabs clipped which you can she did she says oh there's two yeah they were part one is the one that would go first and parts 0 because Part one she's to when she starts to talk about the air if she starts to get you know She has tells we know this. We talked about it before she touches her nose. She's touching her shows I'll tell you what she touches or no, I saw this I saw it I saw ready yeah requests and it is in America's interests along with our

39:45 European and Canadian allies to forge strategic partnerships with Arab nations as we move forward into this new era of change in the Arab world. She's such a liar! She hates the Arabs, so I found the clip within her press conference where I guarantee you're going to be able to spot the tell Hold on a second. I'm sorry, I was doing it You're gonna be able to spot the tail this is the part well I saw what? I saw this whole thing so of course I know why anyways That are not in that long list. I also had the opportunity to engage today with my era I Caught that lie bullshit Opportunities

40:39 parts so anyway yeah she apparently doesn't like the Arabs but the whole this whole thing is Muslims probably this whole thing it's like it's like Clinton one Clinton to do the same it's the same script no-fly zone kill all brown people who believe in something else hey Larry why don't you go and kill some people and let be a yeah yeah your lesbian dyke Well, you know she probably hates the Arabs because they don't like women in general. At least the Arab states don't and they don't want to have a some woman coming from US I think it's almost like we're doing this on purpose because Clinton had what's her name that big fat woman whose name eludes me as the Secretary of State You know one with the clipped hair and she was just a... Oh! You mean the older woman? Yeah, the old lady

41:36 Madeline, this is how pathetic we are at this show. I know her real name but we need to come up with a Dvorak name so it's Maggie Albright yeah her name is Madeleine but maybe it should be what's a better name for it? Badge! No it shouldn't be with an M at all Tina, Tina Albright. No, Tina's no good for her. You think of Tina Fey and you know it's not a good association. Gotta count with somebody else. Well anyway, Albright and then Monica, Monica Albright George Obama the first comes in and he gets uh... He has Condoleezza Rice which is not only a woman but a black woman to really piss off the Arabs

42:15 and so then they come up with another one to piss off the Arabs. And she, this one hates the Arabs you can tell because she's always coughing and coughing out. It must be palpable for a female Secretary of State when they're meeting with these assholes in the Middle East. Oh and they shake their hands and don't wear the burka oh yeah! They hate it Of course it's super insulting. Yeah, but I'm sure that the women find it insulting...I mean everybody is insulted let's put it that way yeah It's like one big insult fest totally everybody is in the room Insult Fest 2011 So of course this not only restricted to hilarity ensuing in the United States of Gitmo Nation over there in the United States of Europe our buddy Nigel Farage Oh!

CHAPTER 13 / 38 Discussion

Nigel Farage, Herman Van Rompuy Gaddafi Photo

Nigel Farage addressed the European Parliament, criticizing President Herman Van Rompuy (referred to as Heiko Herrmann) for his previous friendly interactions with Muammar Qaddafi. Farage presented a photograph from December 2010 showing Van Rompuy and Qaddafi holding hands, highlighting the hypocrisy of the EU's sudden shift toward military intervention.

nigel farage· herman van rompuy· european parliament· libya· muammar qaddafi

43:09 I can sit back and relax. This will not be boring as he takes on Heiko Herrmann, the President of the United States of Europe and he has picture material to go along with his presentation for today's two-minute session in European Parliament. I hope you'll resist calls for military action this afternoon indeed the Liberal leader Mr Verhofstadt made a very pro war speech I hope you will resist that on the grounds that there is no legitimacy or consent for the European Union to take military action and that experience shows, if you go into military action it may be easy but getting out of it could rather more difficult. And get involved in Libya could indeed be a Vietnam type experience so please resist it

43:54 But on Colonel Gaddafi himself, I mean you were quite right to say that what's happening in Libya is really very wrong indeed. Because we knew that even before the uprising just last year he declared a holy war, a jihad against the Swiss He tried to blackmail the European Union do you remember? He said give us five billion euros or will flood you with migrants and of course he was happy to embrace Al-Megrahi The man who committed the biggest ever mass murder in British history. But what you didn't tell us, in your speech was about the fact that you actually know Mr Gaddafi! Indeed you went to meet him in December didn't you? Do you remember?! In fact there's a jolly nice photograph...

44:35 And you and Mr Gaddafi holding hands. In fact I have to say, I've never seen you smiling more or looking happier! Perhaps he's an old drinking mate? I don't know! But...I wonder why would you want to be photographed with Mr Gaddafi? And I put it to you that it could well be that since you were appointed as President of Europe and your sidekick, the noble Baroness Ashton became the High Representative for Foreign Affairs. You could just see him! Hey everybody it's the Haiku Herrmann & Sidekick Baroness Ashton Show! Good morning everybody heyyy

45:13 That you know that you've been seen on the global stage like a couple of political pygmies. As WikiLeaks showed, you were very unhappy that you weren't being recognised Unhappy that she was snubbed by Obama and here was the chance to go along and be accepted by a head of state I don't think that you there parading with dictators was a very good or sensible thing to do. Indeed, not just you the British Labour government made similar mistakes but i do ask it at this juncture and with the horrendous things that are going on in Libya I do ask you Do you accept that it was an error to be photographed as recently as December with Colonel Gaddafi? And will you please please if you do apologize for me

46:00 So he doesn't of course. Of course not, that's a good one! But the picture is literally of him and Gaddafi holding hands and he has this shit eating grin on his face It's so funny. Do you have that in the show notes? Yeah, of course! Of course this is what the show notes are all about man Are you kidding me?! This came through on NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com if you have not checked it out yet We signed up I think about ten more producers who were contributing to it So does Haiku Herrman being there with Qaddafi smiling holding hands Is that...is that the beginning of time and time again we've asked him to stop In December I held his hand then I said please stop

CHAPTER 14 / 38 Discussion

Mohamed ElBaradei, Egypt Election Unrest

Mohamed ElBaradei faced hostility from protesters in Egypt while attempting to vote in the constitutional referendum. Slaves in Tahrir Square reportedly threw stones at ElBaradei, accusing him of being an American agent. The incident highlights the tension between established political figures and the grassroots movement in post-Mubarak Egypt.

mohamed elbaradei· egypt· tahrir square· elections· george soros

46:38 Please stop in December, in December. This is all I want. Now we're looking at what? What's the date that March 20th... We're not even into the second quarter! Yeah. All that I want really it just write down the names of everybody you see on television saying that the slaughter and the Holocaust then It's a lie! The Arab Spring has sprung this is this is it The Arab Spring is underway. Did you hear about Al-Baradai? No, I didn't hear about Al Baradai So Al Baradai... now he's the guy who's connected to George Soros who immediately popped up and went yeah! Yeah everyone wants me to be the new president of Egypt. Yeah! Yeah! Oh right, Baradai, the guy that didn't show up

47:32 Well, Anderson Cooper starts interviewing him in his backyard. Yeah right! Now you know it's a rigged deal and Anderson Cooper is in the guys' backyard? Well of course what is being reported but under-reported is that they're going to do elections... They held elections in Egypt. What?! Wait a minute!! And all the slaves who stood out there in Tahrir Square are like whoa whoa whoa this too soon this not okay we haven't even formed political parties yet so al-Baghdadi Shows up you got to pronounce it properly so people take you seriously Elba. God a shows up to vote And the slaves start throwing stones at him and say we don't want an American agent You live in the United States, you just want to rule us get out and they're throwing rocks at him He couldn't even vote love it That's you know if that's not reported of course because oh he can report dad is anti-american well The same thing happened in Haiti

CHAPTER 15 / 38 Discussion

Haiti Elections, Wyclef Jean Shooting, Cholera Outbreak

Haiti held a runoff election between Mirlande Manigat and Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly. During the election cycle, musician Wyclef Jean was reportedly shot in the hand in Port-au-Prince. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that the cholera epidemic in Haiti is far worse than initially estimated, with potential cases exceeding one million. Former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide has also returned to the country.

haiti· wyclef jean· michel martelly· cholera· jean-bertrand aristide

48:30 So this is great. So Haiti of course as you know they had the rigged vote and everyone went like, this is rigged we're not going to do this but then they have this official body which includes America Here are two it's a runoff between these two so the two candidates are an elitist woman former first lady and the new puppet sweet Mickey Martelli who was like a carnival singer on the Carnival cruise ship and uh... and he's supposed to be the popular guy now you recall that white class job of course was totally under control of a clinton was flying on the oil jet in your head is was wearing his suit and everything and they weren't buying that any he went too far and even uh... the elites when dot dude you're off the list so we're not gonna let you compete because you just being a douche you know if you don't get it you gotta be humble you got me one of the people you want to fart and of course people have had enough stupid

49:25 So they're getting ready to do this runoff, which is happening today as we speak. People have been voting... I would've never known! And i don't see this on the CNN report? No. They're voting today between the elitist woman former first president and sweet Mickey Martelly. And Wyclef Jean of course shows up and the slaves there they're not stupid. They're gonna throw rocks at you shoot him! They shot the guy and only got his hand but they're like hey you what are you doing here get out of here! They shot who? They shot Wyclef Jean. In the hand yeah they shot him, get the hell out. Of course they're trying to kill him this guy is evil he's not even evil it's too stupid to know how does this not get reported well this is being reported okay yeah this has been reported now Wyclef John shot yes by the way this is all a moot point anyway

50:23 because everyone there is going to die. It's always been a mood point but it's worse now because BBC also reporting Haiti cholera far worse than expected they expected yeah you know maybe half million people might get it, now looks like its gonna be over a million people with cholera which means the island has wiped out Yeah, well a million people with cholera is bad and then of course that'll prevent a lot of people from going there to help. Help yeah! And uh... Hey Charlie Sheen! Charlie Sheen come on! We never gave them the money all those ten dollar donations all the people out there pushed down oh let's dial our cell phones. Yeah right yeah that never went there

51:06 And so I think actually, you know with the world everything being upside down. Everything you're told is exactly the opposite I think that Aristide going back to Haiti is probably a good thing this guy was probably good for the country Of course he's been portrayed as a horrible man. Yeah, and we're the ones who rousted him and we've always liked the horrible people in there I don't know what the deal is with him He was probably- Let's face it We only make suppositions on our show based on what we can dig up because we go to local sources And we do some deconstruction But we have a clue of what the hell is really going on here We don't really know nothing but I have incredibly good news John I have the headline of the week You ready for it?

CHAPTER 16 / 38 Discussion

Celebrity Charity Auctions, Japan Earthquake Tsunami Theories

Justin Bieber, Yoko Ono, and Lou Reed are participating in celebrity charity events to benefit Japan following the earthquake and tsunami. The hosts discuss fringe theories suggesting the disaster may have been triggered by man-made means, such as HAARP or underwater nuclear detonations, noting reports of radioactive Toyota cars entering the US.

54:34 Sure that started the tsunami and that you know, they had the earthquake and interesting is like You know it if was a real tsunami then it would have really reached Hawaii because it was only a nuclear bomb It was just a local thing. That's started. There's all theory behind it But it would it might that would kind of explain all this radioactive I mean there they're checking Toyota cars now or Nissan cars coming in because it might be radioactive and this makes no sense but if you set off a nuke yeah then stuff could be radioactive. And who would have set this nuke off? The evil elites, the overlords! Hillary Clinton might as well call it by her name Hillary Clinton Bill Clinton George W Obama all those dudes did you read uh you have to know you probably haven't Playboy did their big interview with Helen Thomas and now you know Helen Thomas of course

Helen Thomas, Playboy Interview, Media Control Claims

At age 90, veteran journalist Helen Thomas gave a candid interview to Playboy magazine. Thomas reiterated her controversial views on Israeli influence in American media and banking. She also criticized President Obama, labeling him a "Republican" for failing to close Guantanamo Bay or end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

helen thomas· playboy· israel· barack obama· zionism

He didn't close Guantanamo or get out of Iraq or Afghanistan it was baloney she says I love it when someone who has been around for nine decades just comes out and say stuff they got nothing to lose they're not going to kill her anymore It's baloney

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

Obama Volunteer Network, Joe Biden Motorcades

The hosts recount experiences with "Obamabots" who attended "Camp Obama" to learn community organizing. They contrast the modest motorcades of the LBJ era with the high-security, multi-vehicle escorts used by Vice President Joe Biden, which Helen Thomas described as monarchical.

barack obama· joe biden· camp obama· motorcade· dick cheney

58:05 I agree, i think the guy is more of a... like you said he's George W. Obama Everybody was suckered by this hope and change bull crap Hope and change? Change what?!

Don't Ask Don't Tell, Navy Repeal Training

The Pentagon has released training vignettes for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," though the policy remains in effect until formal certification. The training materials include hypothetical scenarios regarding service members' conduct in public spaces and the rights of chaplains. Critics argue the administration is dragging its feet on the actual implementation of the repeal.

European Wind Energy Association, Nuclear Stress Tests

Connie Hedegaard, the European Commissioner for Climate Action, spoke at a wind energy conference regarding the implementation of "stress tests" for all European nuclear power plants. Following the Fukushima disaster, the EU is moving toward stricter nuclear security legislation, which Hedegaard suggests will effectively halt the construction of new nuclear plants in Europe.

1:06:20 Mean unless you call that work partying in Rio. I don't know what you do in Rio except There's nothing what is he doing in Rio hanging out and partying how many times are gonna ask me this? It's ridiculous anyway, yeah Sorry would you say I was wondering where Michelle isn't during this where she partying she must be somewhere She'll get the party oh no she must be with Obama floating around Brazil Yeah, all right good point where the kids School I have no idea so Just a little update on the biodiversity front as there is a little conference going on now in see where's this conference? It's the fresh air conference part of the EWEA European wind Wind Energy Association Mmm. Yes

1:07:15 The Wind Energy Association. Global wind day, hey when's global wind day? Are you making that sound or is this the website making that sound? No it's a wind generator behind my house. Global wind day 2011 It doesn't actually say when is but you can adopt Wind turbine launches by one you can adopt one which means you don't want to adopt what does that mean give somebody some money so they Can make money off the thing give Europe a breath of fresh air show your support for wind energy Does it gives me do I get a dividend for giving them money to build a wind generator? Oh, you get to feel good

1:07:54 yeah i'm not a slave so connie had to guard this is another one of my favorite people member she uh... was appointed uh... head honcho there in the copenhagen during the failed summit workers they move the agenda will be further number i think she's danish and uh... and she knows she and hillary should be in paris together partying it up but she's little too busy at global wind today and um... well she has some good news and you have to see his clip Because she's smiling and she's happy. And she is like looking over at people going... Right now, the commission yesterday suggested that now we must have a stress test of

1:08:34 of all existing power plants in Europe, nuclear power plants. And as I mentioned in there for the first time now we actually have a directive legislation on nuclear security and all these kind of measures are of course will be looked through and I think that if there is one thing that is for sure now in this present circumstance that would be that nobody in Europe will start building new nuclear power plants all possible security measures and that is how it has always been in the European Union and now it's even stronger with the legislation that all member states will have to have transposed at the latest middle of this year. Now can someone please tell me where is the blow because I need to party

1:09:21 And she's so happy about it. I'm so happy to announce this here at the Wind Energy Day! There will be no nuclear plants, all the money comes to you! Heheheh! You're stupid!! so while you're watching this idiot you were doing something constructive with your time i was doing something more interesting i was deconstructing c-span again what is it can we no longer trust c-span now? No, I like C-Span but this took me forever because i got a couple some clips here including one that i swear to god had to listen for an hour and half in it was at again at the end really yeah hate when that happens but then it's kind of like

MIT Interface Complexity, California Hail Storm

A discussion on the popularity of Apple products like the iPad attributes their success to simplified user interfaces in an era of increasing technological complexity. Separately, a severe hail storm in California caused significant damage to local vegetation, which the hosts mockingly refer to as "climate disruption."

mit· user interface· apple· hail· climate disruption

1:10:02 It's like sting sex, like sting has sex for hours and he doesn't orgasm until the very end. Sting says this? Yeah! He says you can do it for 14 hours non-stop. What malarkey... Okay so I got a couple of things that are kind of interesting But there was a one of those on book TV they have some interesting stuff and they had this guy from MIT who's like A researcher, and he said obviously some guys been in industry out of it. I interrupt you for one moment Yeah Did you? I don't have the clip but disease did you see Pierce Morgan And he was when the tsunami hit and that you know It's like big oh the reactors any and he had someone from MIT on did you hear what he how we announced that No We have professor so-and-so from MIT

1:10:49 MIT? He said MIT?! You're kidding. No! Oh, you didn't get that clip!? I was watching on the wrong set...I can't afford another DVR on that TV It's expensive it's like another hundred bucks a month Why don't you make of DVR you can get little machine and have a look Let me tell you something it is hard enough because these televisions become uncontrollable Mickey can't control the televisions anymore. It's like you gotta hit this button, and you got to make sure you aim it at that otherwise This doesn't go on just the one television She knows it will always work and I don't want to mess with that. I love her

1:11:30 You know, that's a funny thing you point this out because everything that is coming out. They are always wondering why the Macintosh or why the iPad and some of these things... Or the iPhone for that matter in this new interface where just flip, push your finger across to go to second page Why these things are so popular? I think the public is fed up There was the complexity that they keep adding to everything and nobody knows how to simplify. Yeah stupid interfaces Oh, yeah No I know and it's with these multiple boxes too because if you don't The way that is the way it comes standard If you don't hold the remote in the general direction of both the cable box and the television one of the two won't go off Wow You hear that we have wow my god It's like now we have the hail here now

1:12:17 and all of you know so i had so i had a hail storm today is the uh... is the l a marathon squirrel he's great in the mail from that we had up here was so painful and they were big pieces of hailer about the size of a p and i've i'd collected it we have like to by like an inch that cover the ground like a snowfall and it ripped my i have a a plum tree and then hey or if the treaty shreds knows It ripped the tree to shreds. There's leaves, you know pieces of pieces little shreds of leaves everywhere You know what that is? That's climate disruption its climate disruption All right. Let's get back to your MIT your MIT consultant Okay, so the guy from his from MIT And he is named William Lair and he

Internet Regulation, PSTN Mapping, Podcasting Licenses

William Lehr, an MIT researcher, discussed the future of internet regulation on C-SPAN, suggesting the internet should be mapped to the old Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) regulatory framework. The hosts predict that within two years, the "golden age" of the internet will end as governments begin requiring licenses for activities like podcasting.

mit· fcc· internet regulation· pstn· william lehr

1:13:08 He's talking with one of the C-SPAN interviewers about what does he do and what is it. And the more they talk about it, its obvious that whats going on and this guy keeps bringing it up I'm gonna just play some clips and you tell me what you think im picking up on This is mid consulted part 0? I got part zero part 1 and part 2 lets start with part 1 Ok hold on all right part when we go to to to move forward i think that's an ongoing dialogue i think yes he sees a role to play in it uh... i was sort of not terribly comfortable with the original for example fcc rules on non-discrimination largely because i didn't think they were ultimately enforceable i think they get you into a whole lot other problems

1:13:55 they beg more questions than the answer like what's a specialized service, whats the internet you know is interconnection part of the access can you regulate access without regulating interconnection? What is this about? This is about the Internet. The future of the Internet did you notice a key word in there that keeps bringing up play clip 2 and the word will show up again I think the industry needs to be very proactive because i don't think it's a reasonable position for them to take that you know they can essentially push off any kind of meaningful international regulation or cooperation forever and they need to help the people that don't want it to something like the ITU or UN give them some alternatives to work with.

1:14:41 Now if you didn't pick up on the word in those two clips, I think it makes it really clear with the part zero clip. Well we're not in a position to just sort of tear that house down, that regulatory house down completely and say there's...we want nothing there but we haven't yet figured out how we map this to the internet which is the new PSTN, the new essential infrastructure that we want to think about how to regulate This is internet 2 or the PS, what's PSTN? The phone systems old switching. Oh PSTN okay so it's all the regulation regulation regulations what I'm hearing. Hello! Regulation regulation regulation well yeah Yeah no we're got a by figure that the golden age of the Internet over in about two years Right And it's going to be regulated to death and you can put it down as my prediction

1:15:34 It will require a license. Yeah, sure! To do podcasting And you know what? Here's how it will go If that's true and I think there is high likelihood here is how it goes uh... yes uh... we have a call from the department of internet for mister curry yeah what's up you know i really would like to do it and to be that since you're the pod father would really like you to lead the charge in show everyone that the podcast license is really good and really necessary which includes participate in that would really like you come to the white house why you can meet brock and michelle That's how it always goes guarantee you Guarantee, yeah I can just wait for the call cuz it by the way they're stupid. They've no they don't know about this show They don't know what I'm talking about It's like that reptilian there Queen who invited me to come and shake her hand

1:16:28 Yeah, I shook her hand. She didn't know you were from Adam. You are Adam! She had no clue but I didn't bow my head and looked her right in the eye and uh... I've never been the same since Did she wink? No! She looked back at me like there was no one in there It's very scary. I met Bobby Kennedy once he was the same way He's dead Blank He's dead now Yeah well there ya have it Yeah, regulation. Of course like but that's nothing new I mean who was it did i tell you this last show that one of our producers did a survey for Verizon and the survey was would you be interested in the package that gives you unlimited access to Facebook and Twitter? Yeah! But have to pay extra for like other things And if you wanted news... Hey I've got unlimited access to Facebook and Twitter now It's amazing right hey dude isn't your birthday coming up

RSA Security Breach, NFC Chips, AT&T Data Enrollment

The RSA security division suffered a significant data breach affecting their SecureID challenge devices. This occurs as Near Field Communication (NFC) chips are being integrated into new smartphones. One host reports that simply inserting a SIM card into a smartphone triggered an automatic data plan enrollment by AT&T, highlighting persistent carrier tracking.

1:17:24 In April yeah, what is it April 6 5th? April 5th we maybe should have a special you know donation drive for my now. You're talking I'd getting any younger What is it'll be nice finally to be 50. That's cool We'll do a happy birthday thing when I do the mailing on this coming Wednesday, I'll put a happy birthday It's a good idea. I never thought about it. Don't think about myself that much I think about the show and I think of my listening at the show and secure ID has little problem I'm sure you heard about that one You know, I didn't I miss three man Oh the RSA security division. Oh yeah, right? I heard

1:18:00 they had a breach that loops yeah uh... now of course these are the guys who have the encryption for secure i d which is this whole thing that's coming up right this is the uh... the mark of the beast we're getting on our drivers licenses which by the way has been debunked where it's not this may its mate two thousand thirteen apparently When it comes... Did you say that in the last show, 2013? No we didn't say that. But it is 2013 And so they're waffling about like yeah don't worry no they was a persistent attack which means they were in there for awhile and the whole RSA of course did have to basically throw everything out There's no way once those guys are in

1:18:42 But I think they probably, at this point if someone can get their hands on the SecureID Challenge device that they could probably uh... circumvented if you have like the xd of the serial number whatever well i think more interesting in more hackable and more dangerous is going to be these uh... near field communications ships are gonna be in the new life on an already a little bit in that google phone yet another google phone has it of course you can turn likely go inside your settings and turn it off yeah and you know what john it's really turned off just like your location is really turned off yellow might not turn off but i turned off

1:19:21 You don't know one way or the other unless you I mean somebody can find out so I threw a had A SIM card laying around. I like that phone by the way Yeah, I do too So I threw an AT&T SIM card in there and I got any and I got an email from AT&T the next day We noticed that you have a smartphone And we've automatically enrolled you in a data plan like what? What yeah this thing I just had it laying around It's a long story as to how it came to be, but so it was just a regular phone sim. Doesn't have a data plan or anything on it and I just threw into the phone Just you know because I wanted to have the phone working And had one laying around anyway and didn't want to start up a T-Mobile account Or whatever it came with You didn't look in the box cause there is a TO No no its not an activated T-Mobile card Oh what is it? Yeah it's just like a T-Mobile card that you call and activate and prepay Oh, to prepay the system huh

RFID in Vaccines, Hitachi DNA Solution Chips

A report from an InfoSec producer links the government's recapturing of the 500 MHz spectrum to the requirements for reading wide-band RFID tags. Hitachi has reportedly developed RFID chips that can operate in liquid solutions to detect and transmit DNA data, leading to speculation about the potential for tracking biological data via bloodstream-based sensors.

1:20:18 but I have no credit so why even bother? Like, we're sorry. We can't give you...I could call it right now and you would hear, we're sorry, we cannot confirm your prepaid credit! I have no credit! Get a card from Mechanics Bank they'll give you a debit card. So we got a pretty interesting email from producer Paul the InfoSec guy Did you see this? Were you on this email thread? What was what your voice went into overdrive? Like somebody grabbed whoa, I actually blogged about this current watch curry calm about RFID in vaccines oh Well what he did is he actually found Two things which are which made it because this is the theory. I've had for a long time and

1:21:14 uh... he says the near the recapturing of the five hundred megahertz spectrum by the government is exactly the spectrum that is needed to read these wide band rfid as system tax did you know that i'm a dubious and have it right here united states patent seven five zero four nine five two Active radio frequency identification tag implemented on a flat label blah blah blah blah blah blah The circuit operates at a center frequency of least one gigahertz and a bandwidth at least 20% said frequency to bandwidth At least 500 megahertz. It's Google. That's a United States patent seven five zero four nine or five two So that was the first thing that was interesting, but then he also Has and these are all links that I put in in this article which is in the show notes that Hitachi

1:22:08 As far back as 2005, claimed to have developed an RFID chip. Unlike normal RFID chips can quote operate in solution it can be used to detect and transmit SNP data from within a sealed container holding a DNA sample solution using a passive RF communication to an external reader writer unit located outside the solution Further anti-collision control was developed to enable data collection for multiple chips in the same solution at the same time. A solution would also be like, you know your bloodstream. Are you sure this wasn't a like Hitachi solutions as in so far they're talking about liquids but you know solving a problem solution? A sealed container with DNA solution come on man give me a break I can read it's from Hitachi's own website

CHAPTER 28 / 38 Discussion

Feathered Cocaine Documentary, Osama Bin Laden Falconry

The documentary "Feathered Cocaine" claims that Osama Bin Laden has been living in Iran as a guest of the government, frequently engaging in falconry in Balochistan. The film suggests that Bin Laden's falcons are equipped with GPS transmitters that could be used for triangulation, but US officials have allegedly ignored this intelligence. The hosts debate the validity of the "rat line" smuggling theories presented in the film.

feathered cocaine· osama bin laden· falcons· iran· balochistan

1:35:08 Have you heard of this documentary, John? Yeah I got the same note. So what did you do just hit delete yeah okay well... I figured you'd be happy if that ain't even a plug! so i immediately you know the service is not out yet on DVD it did win a number of awards at film festivals and like in that's when I saw trailer on YouTube am like what this is nuts Because it's about falcons. Now, I've never really paid much attention to falcons or falconry. Have you ever really paid any attention to that? A little bit yeah! So like it Well they're beautiful birds They're just majestic and beautiful the look at but did you know that some of these birds sell for a million dollars?! I can believe it Really!? Lot of lot of Prince you know with these Arab royal family people are really into these things and there was a trade them for the millions Exactly

1:36:08 And you know who's really crazy about all this stuff? About these Falcons. Obama Close! Try another one. Cheney No, no closer to Obama Osama Bin Laden And so, wow. Yeah! So this American guy who wears a turban who actually started the entire trade in falcons he grew up and he started training Falcons for these shanks and princes in royal family and they're just nuts about it if you look at it Falcons go all the way back in every night had a Falcon I mean I got to get me a Falcon by the way these are well man these are beautiful birds they there's so they look so smart and its I love birds

1:36:52 So this guy has a little bit of information. Essentially, for five years he's been trying to tell the American officials that he not only knows where Bin Laden is... But he knows where he's hunting with his falcon as we speak. The Falcons also happen to have GPS receivers so you can triangulate them, but let's not take my word for it Let's listen to a piece from this documentary which is just astounding and there are some former state officials in this piece as well. My job is to save falcons from smugglers.

1:37:42 Screw it. Give me another one the you know, and he's like well these guys are no good there They don't care about the Falcons they only keep them for a month they die They don't really love the birds the way he does so now He was trying to overturn The illegal trade and that's how he gets into this into stop genetic pollution And I never dreamed that this was Also my responsibility what we've been dealing with in order to protect falcons in Central Asia? I have to associate with some very diverse characters. And one of my team members, who is codenamed T2 was running a rat line from a border state through Iran up to Turkmenistan in Russia. T2 is a smuggler he doesn't smuggle wildlife but he knows how the smuggling rat lines work all through Central Asia and he encountered...T2 encountered Bin Laden

1:38:44 when Bin Laden was falconry hunting in Balochistan. Six meetings happened at that same time the Bush administration was telling the world that Bin Laden was living in a cave in Waziristan and as a result of the administration's disclosures billions of dollars were allocated, territorial incursions were forced onto Pakistan while their civilians were bombed all in the hunt of Al Qaeda's leaders, who are today living in Iran. The fact is Bin Laden doesn't live in Waziristan he doesn't have a home there he doesn't have a post office box there He is a guest to the Iranian government When Alan and his group first approached me I was really intrigued by that idea maybe we could do good job and help the US goverment locate Osama bin Laden

1:39:48 I think the most intriguing thing about the information that Alan's source provided was the ability to electronically triangulate Osama bin Laden's location. Each of Osama bin Laden's falcons were equipped with a little backpack that had a radio transmitter and they broadcast on unique frequencies so that Osama bin Laden could always track his birds down and retrieve them, well these unique frequencies had a range of some 10 miles in cluttered area and over 100 miles in line of sight. So my thought was it should have been very simple thing to establish the listening post outside the Iranian border but capable of sweeping this area looking for those frequencies during the falcon hunting season so

1:40:40 this documentary which by the way I listening to this with a dirge music and all i think this is bullcrap but go on you really think so because I wasn't I wasn't sure I got there raining in connection oh let's blame Iran for this and that well no what they're saying is is that he's been in Iran all this time and And the reason, of course we know that no one really wants to get Osama Bin Laden because he's part of the bin laden clan and they're all in the same bed together. They don't actually want to get him if he is still alive you know, so the whole point is that there was no...no one wanted to get him at all. No matter where he is and I thought it was kind of interesting that these Falcons had GPS transmitters and the guy goes into this whole other thing about that he contacted Rewards for Justice remember that? They had like fifty million dollars At first it was twenty five million dollars to capture Bin Laden And then it was fifty million dollars He said he contacted them but they never called back. He said he's here! Right here! I got him into camp

ATM Fees, Timmy Geithner Derivatives Waiver

New regulations may lead to $5 ATM fees for debit card users. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has reportedly issued waivers for certain derivatives, undermining the transparency goals of the Dodd-Frank Act. The hosts criticize the "insider" culture where large corporations like General Electric receive various regulatory waivers.

atm fees· timothy geithner· derivatives· wall street· waivers

1:41:40 He's meeting, buying Falcons. Well that part is interesting That's probably true Yeah but you know it's just him saying it so who knows I know but it makes sense Come on somebody would have turned that guy in by now for 50 million dollars Yeah but they just never called him back This is probably bogus On a smaller scale though, I guess the regulations now go into effect that we're going to have to pay $5 at an ATM for using your debit card to get cash. That's scam! Luckily with the mechanics bank they give you your five bucks back You know that only if you have a minimum of one thousand dollars in your account Did you know that? I usually hate bill... no

1:42:27 Then you might be seeing some charges Pretty soon. We don't get more donations yeah No, but this is a this is a regulation they're putting in place like I mean a regulation Yeah, it's like kind of a scam regular on a second to be a law stop They put these machines in so they could fire tellers left and right, and save the bank money. And make it more convenient for both the bank and the users. It's...they should be paying us to use the machines! Oh I know but they've been making this a federal mandate What kind of scam? Who would push something like this through?! Gee... Who is behind that Bill? I don't know. I'm too tired to go look at all the same usual characters

1:43:14 It's not quite as bad as uh well it probably is, it was probably Timmy Geithner who was a part of it. Did you hear about Joe? You know remember the uh remember Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd and they got together and said we're gonna put in the strictest regulations ever on all banks! We're gonna take away...we have to hurt Wall Street so they could never again never again remember that Yeah, what a crock. It was just like that right and this was mainly for creating transparency in the In derivatives which of course is what is that? What did President Obama said like 600 trillion dollar ticking it's some ridiculous number Yeah Because if that comes unwound then you know then everything screwed so Timmy Geithner says I'm going to give a waiver for Derivatives on cash no don't worry about it all cool

1:44:12 I mean, I don't know exactly how to explain how horrible that is what he's doing but it is. You have these waivers everyone has a waiver for everything General Electric has a waiver they don't have to you know force their people to buy health care and once got like a thousand waivers for everything all the insiders all the companies on the inside who suck up to the administration they get waivers I need a waiver on my taxes. If these laws are so good you wouldn't be wanting a waiver? Of course not! I want to waiver on my taxes and i don't want to go to killing people in Libya, is that okay?! I would love just like stop paying just the revolt but I know how go to jail those guys have guns

Kay Hymowitz, Feminization of Education

Author Kay Hymowitz discusses the "emasculation" of American males and the feminization of the education system. She argues that progressive education, which discourages competition and removes "adventure" books from curricula, puts boys at a disadvantage. Hymowitz notes that modern history textbooks often present the settling of the United States as an almost entirely female-led endeavor.

kay hymowitz· education· gender· textbooks· competition

1:44:58 iraq's you would they're waiting for you uh... this based shown up before with guns have talked about that many times on the show so i'm not gonna couple two more things that i wanted to address one is a short clip by which is uh... kind of interesting it was at the stat It's that same woman who I've been deconstructing her little talk at the Harvard Club, Kay Heimowitz. Who wrote a book about the emasculation of the American male and... Oh right!

1:45:34 So they brought up this little thing on, uh... This is just a clip on how the history books have been. Of course everyone who's followed or has been a homeschooler or follows education knows that there is just a bunch of propaganda that goes out now into the schools and it's probably to be avoided But I thought this little clip here on education was kind of interesting no this one okay says education. As for the progressive part I've seen girls who don't do very well in progressive education either it is possibly true that boys need more structure than girls because there's simply more physically restless and because they also seem to like a more competitive game-like

1:46:26 education. So I've heard from a number of teachers that if you can arrange things so your child, so a boy knows that if he reads a certain number books he gets a certain kind of reward they like that kind of thing a lot. And I suppose that in so far as progressive education really discourages any kind of competition, that's probably been somewhat to the disadvantage of boys. I'm just waiting for her to say boys need Ritalin! Is that next? Well apparently if they don't give the kids something to do... What she is really saying is you've got nothing to compete with and you're sitting there restless

1:47:08 they won't let you compete because there's no competition we can have competition in the school. My daughter came home from one of these schools once and said oh that competition is bad, you're trying to be too competitive. We don't want losers! So actually that's not the clip I wanted, I wanted The Girl Settled The West which is exactly the one that I had queued up based upon your intro see? I know what I'm talking about You are good, well play it Fantastic What's your take on progressive education What I'm trying to say is... all these young adults, who should be adults with children once and start somewhere. And it grows up with pseudo self-esteem and so forth. So could you address that please? Yeah well I think Christina has written about primary education in the way that is unfriendly to boys for one thing we've seen a big decline or big transformation of the kinds

1:48:08 that students, young students are being asked to read. You won't find the adventure books anymore or not very much. The kinds of books that might have appealed to boys I remember reviewing a book some time ago about the change in textbooks history textbooks. And the writer there said that if you were to look at the updated textbooks, post-feminist textbooks about the settling of America and United States continent it would sound like it was entirely colonized by women but actually girls and their parents

1:48:53 so uh... there's no question that their there's not going on and i know there has been this feminization i think of of uh... early earlier education area just dot i can't harp on this topic out where they heard her before Last week. Oh, that's right. It was her! It is just unbelievable we are all so excited and so thankful for everybody and like I say thank you for everybody that has participated in this because it couldn't have been done without everybody Great You know she does sound like that woman I'm telling ya Somebody sent a nasty note in cause we keep using that clip

Rapiscan Systems, London 2012 Olympics Contract

Rapiscan Systems has been named the official security supplier for the 2012 London Olympics. This follows a controversial history with the TSA, where experts have questioned the safety and efficacy of the company's backscatter X-ray machines. The hosts note that despite a quarter-billion-dollar investment, the machines have faced significant criticism regarding radiation risks and privacy.

rapiscan· london olympics· tsa· security· x-ray

1:49:29 Really? A nasty grant? Did you see the nasty note? No, I didn't. Oh we got a nasty note. Somebody on one of our listeners goes, oh! You're mocking that poor woman who... That was a clip from CNN or someplace where apparently they found the couple of snowmobilers that got lost in the woods and so she got all... you know enthusiastic about the fact that they were found and so now we're mocking her for being happy about finding lost people. Well there's a little difference between mocking her and just using it as a funny clip. Squirrel! You know what I'm saying? Yeah, no hey I'm on to- What are you talking about?! I love that clip It's your clip yeah um Hey good news No Yeah i'm glad we invested in RapaScan

1:50:16 Oh crap, we didn't invest in Rapiscan? Now what. Well they've been appointed as the official security equipment and systems supplier for the London 2012 Olympic Games! Oh should we mention something here while were talking about this? In fact I listened to the entire... This was a really dreadful one Another thing that we did for not enough money I listened to the entire testimony about RapaScan and the scanner. I couldn't get anything from it, did you actually... That's the one that we're at the very end! Oh, you did get something? I probably gave up a bit, do you have in here? I got about two or three things from it, I got one guy asked me... You're kidding me?! It was like 2 hours and 20 minutes, it was in there for the last 20 minutes!?

1:51:01 Yeah. Ah, geez! Sorry... But there was stuff in between. There were two of these events I think the whole total was about four hours and for one of the events where they had all these experts They just asked them point blank if your wife is pregnant would you go into one of these machines? And everybody said no I would never go another guy said well we haven't let anybody nobody's ever gotten to test one of these machines in a private sector and of course the bullcrappers from the TSA say well Johns Hopkins, Johns Hopkins would never really... they tested the theory. They never tested a machine no one's ever tested these machines And by the way did we not mention that like a million times on this show? A million times Because we did the research unlike... Did you see that anywhere else with any news organization look at the comments read what Johns Hopkins said or they just take what the TSA said Well John Hopkins says it right there on their website! It says John Hopkins I'm sorry it just makes me angry

CHAPTER 32 / 38 Discussion

GAO Report, TSA Body Scanner Failure Rate

Congressman John Micah of Florida revealed during a hearing that a General Accounting Office (GAO) report on TSA body scanners is being kept top secret because the failure rates are "pronounced." Micah argued that the American public would be outraged if the expenditure on these non-functional machines were revealed. The TSA maintains that the machines are effective, but refuses to disclose specific performance data due to security classifications.

gao· tsa· john mica· rapiscan· classified

1:51:57 So I have two clips, both of them are very long. One of them the great clip which is that... by the way this was not only at the end The one i'ma play which is the great clip but it's at the end and they get to do that show ends with this clip and It was like um well I can play this one first there so little long but he's necessary listen to it This is uh congressman Lassie TSA This is the, no this is Congressman Blassie. Yeah that's the one John Micah from Florida who and I'm gonna tell you what this clip is about and by what...this is why it's interesting that you mentioned at the London Olympics want to use these machines so the machine don't work okay so that's why they're they got the contract

1:52:48 The machines don't work. And this is the clip that brings out the whole thing. Let me just recap, so the American public paid government tax money to RapaScan Systems International for machines to protect us from terrorists and now the london two thousand twelve would be games have contracted the exact same company for machines that don't work that's what you're saying this is not covered by the media at all if u listen here's where it got stems from state did missus mark i you know this is a top secret

1:53:28 The General Accounting Office tested the machines and the results can't be disclosed because it's a top secret. But the Congressman makes it quite clear, and if you listen to this in its entirety, the machines don't work! At least to my staff... And that is possible, Congressman I do not know that we came up with deploying to everyone on the Hill, I'm not sure. And are you aware of the latest testing of the equipment that GAO conducted in December? We're aware of GAO's testing as well as the other ongoing testing we have in airports every day. Do you feel that again what this reminds me is the puffers, the fluffers

1:54:15 These are the machines that they put in all the airports and they didn't work either. I'm sorry, I thought he said fluffers it caught my attention. Remember the puffer's? Yes! I was making a joke It was totally unacceptable would you concur with that evaluation? Can't hear it I think we look at different types of testing and we think the machines are very effective against the types of threats that were looking at. We do daily testing in airports across the country to... That's your self-testing, you have been briefed by GAO on their testing? Yes, I have And that, and you find that acceptable level of performance

1:54:56 I'd like to think that we could perform very well at 100%. Do you find the level of failure acceptable, that GAO has reported now that you have the equipment in place? So the specific number, I think we First of all we're not going to talk about numbers because it's classified but the failure has been pronounced. Mr. Pistil talked to it. Mr. Pistil said that GAO was clever. Do you feel that again having reviewed this is that failure rate acceptable?

1:55:39 Well, it's going to spend a quarter of a billion dollars on deploying this equipment and staffing it. And I've had it tested and to me it is not acceptable. So I would like to see us do better against GAO testing? If the American public if we could reveal the failure rate, the American public would be outraged at that expenditure but it seems that you have opted for sort of a popularity poll You said that 80% of the people do not object to, accept the use of that technology even though it doesn't work. So that's the basis on which we deploy expensive screening technology?

1:56:24 No, Congressman. I think that's a partial basis But I think the other extensive testing that we did in the labs that we did in the field and that we do In the airports every day Well the public may accept it but I'm telling you I will not thank you and I yield back Wow well how come this is top secret? Because of the numbers. I understand but this is the Obama administration, isn't everything supposed to be transparent? No they made it a secret because apparently these machines as he said just quote unquote do not work we're spending all this money and putting people at risk with x-rays and there was a lot of discussion about that man there's a huge in fact half of the congressmen

1:57:06 A lot of them volunteered to come on this panel so they could grill these guys, were pissed off about the way they were treated themselves and then there was the x-ray issue and in fact that they don't wear their little badges. And all the rest it was all brought out in this hearing. Then finally finalizes with Micah coming out saying machines do not work! Where is the media? Yeah, but above all we should as citizens paying for it and being subjected to this we should be allowed to see the report. We can't because if you saw the report that would realize what a scam this is! That's the reason it's classified... It's not give the terrorists any ideas. That's it John, that's it clip of the show two in a row clipping the show good job

Rapiscan Contract Protest, Media Silence

Rapiscan Systems is protesting a government purchase order given to SAIC for cargo inspection systems. The hosts highlight the lack of mainstream media coverage regarding the reported failure of airport scanners, noting that the information is publicly available via C-SPAN but ignored by major news organizations.

rapiscan· saic· foia· c-span· journalism

1:57:59 And how long did you have to sit through all that crap? I didn't make it. I feel bad now but... I listened to the entire thing, in fact i'm still deconstructing and probably pull a couple more clips out of it But surely we can issue a FOIA request It would probably take forever to get it because it's classified, its current. They're not going to give you a classified document The only thing I could find...I was just googling while listening to it apparently just add insult injury RapaScan Systems is protesting the issuance of a purchase order to Science Applications International Corporation in San Diego for an RFQ for some other gamma ray vehicle cargo inspection system because he wasn't fair

1:58:48 It was an improper order because these guys of course they got a no-bid contract and that did they have the balls to go out and complain about The government trying to get other systems that maybe do work even though I'm against those two, but it's unbelievable. I want to see this report Let's call Micahs office He knows the numbers he can't eat it will you go to jail if he tells us yeah really? But he made it clear the machines don't work. Yeah, hey keeping him honest Anderson Cooper here The pluffer machine which never worked for crap either It felt good the fluffer machine yeah the pluffer machine was fun yeah I like that they should have kept that on anyway a fluffer machine um so Anderson where's Anderson Cooper? Anderson Cooper keeping them honest here yeah tell me about the report that is top secret

1:59:38 Where's Anderson? Where is Rachel Maddow? Where is anybody. There's not one media, go google it! Go on the news site you will not find one mention anywhere that these machines don't work and this is the thing that bugs me the most which I think It's so great because you know essentially you're supporting us for our time that's really what it is because we don't have to go to journalism school, J-school as they call it. Did you go to j-school? Yeah I got a PhD in J-School You don't have to go to J-School all you have to do is actually download the documents and read them

2:00:19 resolutions or you just go to the, you don't have to go to the hearing anymore. You just have to go to the hill, you have to sit there and going from meeting to meeting. You can sit at home and watch cspan.org and you can watch it and its right there! The information is right there. You do not have to anything. You just sit at home like we do. It takes a long time but that's all you have to do and then you could be a part of the people that get paid. To do this yeah, to do this by big corporation oh well I use the word big corporation that's the problem! Oh that could be it because we don't have a big corporation paying us we have the public paying us right? That's why we do it otherwise that you'd never find this out nobody listening to this show would ever know that these machines don't work so what is his other clip is it just as good

Darrell Issa, TSA Passenger Rights Signage

Congressman Darrell Issa challenged the TSA to post signs at airport checkpoints informing travelers of their rights, such as the right to a private screening and the right to have a companion present. The TSA representative refused, citing "signage challenges" and the difficulty of adding more posters to checkpoints, which Issa interpreted as a definitive "no."

darrell issa· tsa· passenger rights· signage· checkpoints

2:01:11 Now the other clip is more kind of interesting because it's one of the apparently a lot of guys came in and started moaning and groaning at these guys about their experiences. And this guy, this is uh this is Issa Daniel Issa I think he's from California He- It's kinda interesting...He comes in and starts excoriating these guys for not following their own rules and he demands that they put his sign up giving people their right, listing their rights. The guy refuses to do it and they get into an argument and then the chairman says okay we'll just take that as a no, we've got to move on. You know what's interesting is that you know the big story was about

2:01:51 the accounting errors of the radiation. Yeah that was discussed to extreme but that's the only story that was out there and in of course it was waffled away like oh yeah we just we bungled the numbers yes somebody did but this is no wonder they don't use these things, they don't use them, they don't enforce them everywhere people tell me like yeah they had one but you know maybe 1 out of 10 people were sent through Think it's worse than it appears John. I think not only do they fail? I think that they are they are they're killing people and the TSA guys know It the TSA guys must know something. They don't give them the badges Don't so yeah play plays a little clip here, and it's kind of amusing It's not as good as the other clip but it's funny to a private opening statement you talked about

2:02:41 what people can have and not have in the consistency. I go through those checkpoints all over the country regularly, what I don't see is anything that says here is a traveler's right you have a right to a private thing you have a right and I know Mr Chairman I've gone over but I know a lot of us I have seen repeatedly TSA individuals tell people who are traveling with another person that's being held for secondary, stand back. Go over there. They are deliberately denying what you said was a right here today and I hold you to post the TSA

2:03:20 to post that I have a right to have my spouse, you have the right to have your child or whatever with you during any secondary and not be told they must go over there stand over there. You could be arrested if you don't move away The exact opposite has happened in the experience of thousands of travelers Will you agree to post so travelers know that your TSA people are wrong if they try to say stand back you can't be there So I believe the description about, you know being able to have a traveling companion or family member with you particularly in a private screening area is up on our TSA website. Website doesn't make it when your people are saying the opposite. We will need to move on here. Will you commit to make sure that it's available to the public at the point which they may be told that they cannot have that person with them?

2:04:13 Part of the challenge that we have is that signage, you know we run into having too many signs out there or so having a posting at the checkpoint is difficult for us because we have requirements for so many signs. The chair will recognize that as no if you want to continue to add testimony this is the problem with trying to fit this in. Thank you Mr. Chairman We are about to be called for votes and we have two other members Right, let's move on because who gives a crap about your rights? Signage we'll take that as a no. Yeah we'll take that is it now you put a sign up No, why don't they know instead of where its on the website We have a website just like looks like the opposition in Libya They got our website into their real does I get a website all right Let's uh...I need to laugh one second. Uh I caught this the other day from

London Olympics Banned Items, Brand Protection

The 2012 London Olympics will enforce strict bans on items including mobile phones, large quantities of food, and umbrellas. To protect official sponsors like McDonald's and Coca-Cola, items bearing non-sponsor trademarks—such as hats or bags—may be confiscated. The hosts call for a boycott of the games due to these extreme commercial and security restrictions.

2:05:06 I didn't mean to do that. I caught this the other day from The Onion, it was so short and so funny I had to play it. Very funny Alright, quick trip around Gitmo Nation. Anyway just to wrap up I mean it's almost pointless what i have to say after that GAO report that of course is top secret that you unveiled there for us John excellent reporting by sitting on your ass great job as actually standing okay anyway furthermore at the London 2012 Olympics mobile phones will not be allowed

2:06:01 uh... picnics will not be allowed what's the way they backpack backpack backpack maybe you do when he mobile phones won't be allowed if you have a landline with a really long cord that's okay because you might be set by the set off a bomb so mobile phones it under the powers granted and i was going to buy the government of london into the london two thousand twelve organizers or people would not be permitted to take flasks services and larger quantities of food with them to the Olympic venues. Please enjoy our McDonald's and Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken! These are included on a non-exhausted list of all banned and restricted items in terms and conditions of booking Olympic tickets that went on sale this week All bags will be scanned by x-ray machines as part of security

What will we do? liquids in containers bigger than 100 milliliters 100 mili a ten what that's three ounces that little bitty bottle because they want you to buy coca-cola and eat McDonalds this is why it is but others for your security uh... camera tripods and this is the best flags of countries not involved in the games all brother not only a i'll make it better than her for these people umbrellas forbidden isn't england people umbrella as if you had it because i'm sure they will sell you some on the premises because it can be used to take blunt instrument

2:07:53 Objects bearing trademarks or other kinds of promotional signs or messages such as hats, t-shirts bags etc. are also foreboding. So I can't carry an Yves Saint Laurent sweatshirt and wear it or anything that says Hugo Boss on the front? If they are an official sponsor of the Olympic Games, yes but if they're not you may not enter the premises That's ridiculous! Who do these people think they are?! Look, I've met people from the International Olympic Committee who they are John... Douchebags Elitist pricks And this thing is so commercial.
